(EAW intro plays.)
(A recap of last week’s episode of Sunday Night Voltage is shown, with Zane Grae, Effy McAvoy, Ashlynn Quinn, Chiyo Gedo, Adam Lucas, Solomon Stane, and Ms. Extreme all getting victories. The camera, from there, goes to a shot of the Ball Arena in Denver, Colorado as the crowd gets loud in anticipation for the show to come. The shot pans around before then going to the commentary booth as Rich Russillo, James Peters, and Persephone are seen standing by.)
Rich Russillo: We are just TWO weeks away from the brand exclusive Marquee Event Bloodsport, welcoming you all to yet another episode of…
Persephone: … Sunday Night Voltage.
Rich Russillo: Good job.
James Peters: And what a show we have for you tonight! The debuting Selena Reyes faces Daryl Kinkade. Diamond Dixon faces KASAI. Zane Grae faces Pandora Paisley. Effy McAvoy faces Halsey Neel. Methuselah faces Candice Blair. And in the main event, the team of Adam Lucas and Limmy Monaghan face Michael Machina and Bea Valentine #Vachina. We have a jampacked night, let’s get right to it!
(Sunday Night Voltage goes from the commentary table to a shot of the Ball Arena as the crowd in Denver is electric tonight in anticipation for what’s to come. They don’t have to wait long though as ‘Won’t Back Down’ by Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers is heard blasting through the PA system. They erupt into thunderous cheers as the camera goes over to the stage to reveal Lt. Colonel Michael Scott Connor as he storms out to the stage. It’s made apparent that especially after the events of last week, he is furious as he wastes no time beginning to make his way down the ramp and toward the ring.)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome… LT. COLONEL MICHAEL SCOTT CONNOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: Well it’s clear that Lt. Colonel Michael Scott Connor has a lot on his mind as he makes his way down to the ring. Not only did British Invasion cost him in his match against Chiyo Gedo last week, I’m sure that’s on the back burner compared to what Halsey Neel and Pandora Paisley would do to his fiancée, Lt. Jane Murphy.
James Peters: It was an unfortunate turn of events, with an argument escalating into a brawl. Jane held her own, but in the end, the numbers advantage got the better of her and she would be beaten bloody. Halsey and Pandora would take Michael and Jane’s engagement ring, which I am certain has not sat well with the Lt. Colonel as he makes his way down here.
Persephone: He’s mad about that??? DEAL WITH IT! We’ve all had love stripped away from us before! It’s heartbreaking, it’s crushing, but sometimes… we just have to move on. :mjcry:
(Michael quickly slides into the ring as he heads over and takes a microphone from the ringside area. From there, ‘Won’t Back Down’ then begins to come to a close as he makes his way toward the center of the ring. With the crowd quickly beginning to quiet down, he doesn’t waste a single moment letting everybody know what’s on his mind.)
Lt. Colonel Michael Scott Connor: Forget the Marines, forget fighting with honor. I want ALL of British Invasion RIGHT NOW!
(The crowd roars at this as Michael lowers his microphone and turns toward the stage, shouting toward the back as he challenges all three members of British Invasion.)
Persephone: Right now??? Is he stupid???
Rich Russillo: I mean, who could blame him for feeling that sort of way about it?! British Invasion just attacked his fiancée and stole their engagement ring, why waste time telling people what they already know??? I feel like it was only inevitable.
James Peters: But I think what Seph is saying here is that this might not be the brightest idea. He’s outnumbered 3-1 and we know very well what British Invasion can do with the numbers advantage in their favor, it might not bode well for him.
(After some time, ‘Refuse/Resist’ by Sepultura then begins to play up, summoning a flurry of boos and jeers from the crowd as a result. Michael looks eager to get this underway as the camera goes over to show Daryl Kinkade, Pandora Paisley, and Halsey Neel as all three of them make their way out from the backstage area. British Invasion looks to be highly amused by all of this, and it’s shown that right around Pandora’s ring finger still is Michael and Jane’s engagement ring. They laugh to themselves as they make their way down the ramp.)
Rich Russillo: Well here comes British Invasion, and they do not at all look intimidated by the threats that have been given here tonight, but will they learn to regret it is the question. It’s only inevitable that these four meet inside the ring along with two others in a six-person tag team match, and it’s going to be an equal playing field. With all this animosity surrounding them, it seems like British Invasion is only asking for a beating at their hands.
James Peters: But at the same time, we know how equally talented all three of them are. We know what they’ve been able to do not just throughout their existence as a tag team but their entire careers. They can step up to the plate when it counts and Bloodsport is perfect for that. They’re toying around with them because they know that this is a match that they’re going to be able to win.
Persephone: Well they’re stupid too. Playing with love like that reminds me of what they did to me when they sent Luis to Showdown…
(British Invasion stop at the bottom of the ramp, communicating with one another before circling the ring. Michael is on high alert as it’s clear that he is ready to fight at any moment, and quite frankly is encouraging it above all else. Daryl, Pandora, and Halsey all already have microphones in their hand as they climb up onto their respective sides of the ring apron. With British Invasion surrounding Lt. Colonel Michael Scott Connor, ‘Refuse/Resist’ then begins to fade out, with the only thing heard is the loud sounds of booing, as the trio then starts to speak from there.)
Daryl Kinkade: Pipe down, bruv! You know where all that talking is going to get you! The army never taught you any manners???
Pandora Paisley: I find it amusing how we’re being looked at as the bad guys in this situation. How we’re the ones, despite explaining it very clearly, being the people that are hated in the face of such controversy. Love, didn’t we warn you exactly what was going to happen if you messed with us? When you decided to take a gamble like the one you took when you sided with Zane Grae and Effy McAvoy, are you stupid? Did you expect nothing to come from that? Smooth sailing from then on to Bloodsport? No, if there’s one thing we won’t tolerate, it’s disrespect. We’ve been very vocal about how we take that sort of thing personally and we’re not going to be afraid to speak our mind if necessary. So needless to say, you and your little lady friend had it coming.
Halsey Neel: She paid for your insolence, your incompetencies. If it was as easy as going after you, then we would’ve done that, but it wasn’t our goal. We want to break you, both mentally and physically, and we were never going to get the mental aspect down if we didn’t cut a little deeper. What happened to Jane was simply her being a casualty in our wake, we’ll admit that it was a little uncalled for, so what? If anything you brought this upon her yourself. That you would regret what would happen next and this? This is something that you’re just going to have to live with. I trust that she’s going to be just fine. What happened to her is barely a scratch, you’re both from the military aren’t you? Tis merely a flesh wound. :wow:
(It’s clear that British Invasion are simply joking around about the situation at hand, and that’s not something that Michael is taking very kindly.)
Lt. Colonel Michael Scott Connor: You might think that this is a game, but anyone could tell you that you went too far. It’s one thing to attack me and cost me matches, that’s something that I’m willing to forgive. But when you bring family into this, but when you bring my FIANCÉE into this? That’s when you’re going to see exactly where it gets you. Hell, you even have our engagement ring around your damn finger right now, what’s stopping me from ripping you into this ring and giving you exactly what you deserve???
(Pandora raises her hand to her face as she looks at the ring, tilting her head toward Michael.)
Pandora Paisley: Oops. :troll:
Lt. Colonel Michael Scott Connor: You’re going to pay for what you did to Jane and I’m going to make sure of it. If it’s the last thing I do, I’m going to make sure that British Invasion doesn’t get the last laugh, and at Bloodsport, I’m going to make sure that you learn a lesson at my hands. I already had my full attention on you, you’ve already done enough to warrant my time in the ring. But you crossed the line and that is something that you do not take seriously.
(British Invasion look toward themselves, as they know that they could very well just attack him here and now and get it over with. But it seems like they have more on their mind as Daryl audibly laughs, shaking his head.)
Daryl Kinkade: You’re one stupid individual, aren’t you, bruv? You don’t know when to give up when the odds are already against you as they are! Are you trying to pick a fight with all of us? Where are your friends anyway?
Lt. Colonel Michael Scott Connor: I don’t need them, I told you that you made this a personal matter already. This doesn’t involve them, it involves us. I am more than capable of doing this on my own and you’ll find out for yourselves if you test me any further.
Pandora Paisley: Love, there’s no way you truly believe that, right? There is nothing in your right mind that should make you believe even for a second that you’re going to come out on top in a brawl between the three of us, you’re just asking to meet the same fate as your precious little Jane! You’re asking for trouble!
Lt. Colonel Michael Scott Connor: I don’t give a damn, I thought we made that clear already? I don’t need all of you to stall for time, if you want to back up your words then you’d come into this ring right now and we can get this underway.
Halsey Neel: We’re trying to save you here, is that something that you’re not able to understand? This is a fight that we all know you’re not bloody winning, we’re trying to get you to comprehend exactly why we did what we did. Look, it’s nothing personal, not to us at least, we just want everybody to understand that there is nobody that we wouldn’t take out in order to reach the top where we belong. If anything, I think the rest of my teammates can agree that as far as we’re concerned, what happened to Jane was simply an example.
(British Invasion all laugh amongst themselves, and ultimately, Michael has had enough of this.)
Rich Russillo: HERE WE GO! MICHAEL JUST RUSHED FORWARD AND KNOCKED DARYL OFF OF THE APRON WITH A FOREARM! HE DROPS DOWN UNDER THE BOTTOM ROPE, LEAVING THE RING, AND BEGINNING TO STOMP HIM OUT! HE’S BRINGING THE FIGHT TO BRITISH INVASION AND HE’S COMING IN WITH FIRE IN HIS EYES!
James Peters: BUT IT’S NOT LONG BEFORE PANDORA AND HALSEY ROUND THE RING AND JUMP INTO THIS BRAWL! THEY ATTACK MICHAEL AND BEGIN TO BEAT HIM DOWN TO HIS KNEES! BRITISH INVASION ARE SWARMING MICHAEL AND THE NUMBERS ARE GETTING TO HIM!
Persephone: I hate to say I told you so…
Rich Russillo: HALSEY AND PANDORA ROLL HIM INTO THE RING AND FOLLOW SUIT, AND AN ANGERED DARYL IS QUICK TO FOLLOW BEHIND AS THEY BEGIN TO STOMP DOWN ON HIM REPEATEDLY! MICHAEL IS SPRAWLED OUT ON THE CANVAS TRYING TO DEFEND HIMSELF NOW! BUT BRITISH INVASION HAS A HOLD OF HIM AND EXACTLY AS THEY SAID THEY’RE BEGINNING TO PICK HIM APART RIGHT HERE AND NOW!
(Suddenly, the crowd comes alive as they turn their attention toward the stage.)
James Peters: BUT HERE COMES THE CALVALRY! EFFY MCAVOY AND ZANE GRAE ARE RUSHING DOWN THE RAMP AND TOWARD THE RING! THEY SLIDE INTO THE RING AND THEY’RE GOING RIGHT FOR BRITISH INVASION, TRYING TO SAVE MICHAEL FROM ANY MORE HARM!
Rich Russillo: BUT IT LOOKS LIKE BRITISH INVASION IS MORE PREPARED THAN USUAL! THEY IMMEDIATELY TURN THEIR ATTENTION TOWARD THEM WHILE MICHAEL IS LAID OUT AND THEY BEGIN TO STOMP DOWN ON EFFY AND ZANE AS WELL! THE TWO OF THEM ARE FIGHTING BACK, SENDING FISTS REPEATEDLY TOWARD THEM, BUT IT’S CLEAR THAT BRITISH INVASION HAVE THEM DOWN PAT RIGHT NOW!
James Peters: THEY EXPECTED THIS! THEY STAYED ON THEIR TOES AND NOW THEY’RE REAPING THE BENEFITS OF IT! DARYL SNATCHES MICHAEL AS HE’S RECOVERING AND SETS HIM UP…
Rich Russillo: BEFORE DROPPING HIM WITH ‘A BEAUTIFUL LIE’! THE CROSSLEGGED FISHERMAN BUSTER CONNECTS WHILE ON THE OTHERHAND IT’S HALSEY WHO JUST LIFTED HER LEG UP AND NAILED EFFY RIGHT AGAINST THE SIDE OF THE HEAD WITH ‘REVOLVER’! THE QUESTION MARK KICK!
James Peters: THEY GO RIGHT FOR ZANE NOW AS THEY SCOOP HIM BACK UP TO HIS FEET, WITH HALSEY AND PANDORA HAVING THEIR EYES SET…
Rich Russillo: AS THEY CONNECT WITH ‘CAPITAL PUNISHMENT’! TOTAL ELIMINATION DROPS ZANE TO THE GROUND AND IT’S BRITISH INVASION THAT STANDS TALL!
(Daryl, Halsey, and Pandora stand on a united front as they look with smirks down at the bodies of Michael, Zane, and Effy, their efforts going tow aste as British Invasion manages to get the better of them. They then grab a hold of the three of them before disposing of them from the ring, dusting their hands as Daryl takes off the entrance gear he has on.)
James Peters: The crowd certainly do not like this here tonight but they’re going to have to respect it because this is possibly what they might see come Bloodsport.
Rich Russillo: A demanding statement by British Invasion as they move forward, but right now they have something else to worry about as Daryl Kinkade’s match is up next!
(The last shot seen is officials making sure that the brawl doesn’t escalate any further, as British Invasion assures them of such, before Daryl begins to shake his limbs off as Sunday Night Voltage, from there, begins to fade to a commercial break.)
(Promotional ad for Bloodsport, where The British Invasion faces Michael S. Connor, Effy McAvoy and Zane Grae.)
(Voltage returns to ringside as ‘Kamikaze’ by RedHook is heard playing. Daryl Kinkade is seen in the ring with a smirk on his face following the brawl earlier. Pandora Paisley and Halsey Neel are also seen at ringside, and the fans are booing loudly following their actions earlier.)
Bella Braxton: The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
Bella Braxton: Already in the ring! Accompanied by Halsey Neel and Pandora Paisley! From Norwich, England, weighing in tonight at 225 pounds, he is THE ‘KINK OF ELITE!!!!!!’ DARYLLLLLLLLL KINKADEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
(‘My Own Summer’ by Deftones would hit the speakers of the arena to a mixed reaction of both cheers and boos, as Selina Reyes would make her way out onto the ramp for her first ever Sunday Night Voltage match. She takes the new environment in and the reaction given to her, as she then makes her way down the ramp and to the ring.)
Bella Braxton: Introducing first! Residing in San Antonio, Texas, weighing in tonight at 117 pounds, she is THE ‘ONYX QUEEN!!!!!’ SELINAAAAAAAAAAAA REYESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Rich Russillo: This match is now officially underway! It’s the debut match for Selina Reyes, and she goes up against Daryl Kinkade in singles competition to start us off here tonight for action on Sunday Night Voltage, both Elitists pace around the ring before they sprint in and toward each other, engaging into a quick collar and elbow tie up to start.
James Peters: But Daryl Kinkade is going to use his experience to get the early advantage over this match, as he grabs Selina and pulls her over into a side headlock! Wrenching it in, Selina looks to fight him off of her, slipping out of the side headlock as she looks to grab Daryl by the waist, but Daryl goes around and he captures Selina instead…
Persephone: Wow, okay. Daryl just pushes her into the ropes and it looks like he is going to take this match extremely slow and toy around with her. Unfortunately.
Rich Russillo: Well if there is something that Daryl Kinkade is going to do, it’s assert his dominance early on upon a match, especially when it is against someone who is of just starting out here in Elite Answers Wrestling like Selina Reyes.
James Peters: But I don’t think Selina appreciated that, shrugging it off before the two competitors begin to circle around the ring once again, keeping their eyes locked upon one another, and they engage right into another collar and elbow tie up, this time Selina manages to go around into the waistlock, and she pushes Daryl into the ropes this time! Selina wasn’t going to take the disrespect in her first match and she was going to show that she can handle herself in situations like these, even against the very best in the world in EAW!
Rich Russillo: But now it’s Kinkade who doesn’t look very happy, shaking his head as he focuses his attention back over to Selina, and rushes in at her, but Selina ducks under the attack and kicks Daryl in the back of his knee, and that forces him down to a knee, as Selina is going to take advantage, shooting off of the ropes! DROPKICK TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD BY REYES, AS SHE SCRAMBLES INTO A COVER!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
James Peters: Quick kick out at the count of one from Daryl Kinkade, pushing up into a seated position but Selina Reyers is going to shoot back up to her feet as well, rolling through and around as she keeps Daryl grounded with a side headlock, holding him down to the mat!
Rich Russillo: Selina has managed to keep the experienced Kinkade at bay so far within this match, making sure that he doesn’t get the chance to take advantage of the situation, as she continues to wrench in the headlock, but Daryl is going to manage to slip through it and pop back up to his feet!
James Peters: And Selina is going to pop back up as well- BUT IS CAUGHT WITH A STIFF KNIFE EDGE CHOP BY DARYL KINKADE! That chop just caught Selina harshly as she stumbles away and into the corner, and Daryl is going to follow suit, rushing in with another chop that echoes throughout the entire arena!
Persephone: Daryl continues to toy with this little girl, when I’m sure that at any given moment right now he could just put this math to rest and save us all the trouble of having to bear witness to another failed debut here on Voltage. I just don’t get it.
Rich Russillo: I don’t think it’s that simple, Seph. Daryl understands the threat that Selina poses in this match and he realises he’s going to need to do a whole lot more, gripping onto her wrist, and he sends her across the ring and into the other corner, RUSHING IN FOR ANOTHER CHOP, BUT SELINA GETS HER BOOT UP AND THAT CATCHES DARYL IN THE FACE!
James Peters: And Selina is going to climb up onto the middle rope as Daryl was bent over, holding at his jaw from the boot to the face and he stands straight back up… AND SELINA HOPS OFF LOOKING FOR A CROSSBODY TO TAKE DARYL BACK DOWN TO THE MAT, BUT DARYL CATCHES SELINA! AND HE THROWS HER OVER INTO A MASSIVE EXPLODER SUPLEX!
Rich Russillo: EXPLODER CONNECTS, AND DARYL FLOATS OVER, HOOKING THE LEG AND SEIZING THIS MOMENT!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
James Peters: Kick out by Selina Reyes! That keeps her alive amongst this match, as you can see the small ounce of frustration that had appeared on Daryl’s face knowing that it is going to take much more to put someone like Selina away, especially when it comes to being her first match here in EAW.
Persephone: I’m not even surprised, that someone named Daryl KINKade, has a kink for making us suffer and fall asleep through his boring wrestling. Very on brand for him.
Rich Russillo: You don’t have to like Daryl Kinkade, because trust me, not a lot of people around here do, but you have to respect him and his talent that he possesses. And he’s showing it off again here tonight, as he pulls Selina up to her feet, and he nails her with a kick to the face, basically toying with her.
James Peters: You could tell that Reyes did NOT like that whatsoever, but Daryl is going to do it again, another boot to the face, practically shoving her around, but Selina isn’t going to take much more of it as she rolls through and gets back to her feet, and Daryl swings on her, DUCKED BY REYES WHO CATCHES HIM WITH A MASSIVE FOREARM ACROSS THE JAW!
Rich Russillo: Forearm by Reyes! And a right hand, followed by an open-handed slap across the face! Daryl falls back into the ropes and rebounds off of them, LOOKING FOR A MASSIVE LARIAT, BUT SELINA DUCKS UNDER IT, TWISTING DARYL AROUND, AND SHE PLANTS HIM INTO THE MAT WITH A TWISTING NECKBREAKER, BEFORE KIPPING TO HER FEET!
James Peters: Selina is on fire right now! Awaiting Daryl to get back up to his feet, she takes a couple of steps back, as he uses the ropes in order to get back up to his feet… and Selina Reyes closes the distance, running in and clotheslining Kinkade over the ropes and out of the ropes! He goes down, stumbling around and getting back up to his feet, AS SELINA TAKES OFF, AND SHE BOUNCES OFF OF THE ROPES!
Persephone: SUICIDE DIVE BY THE NEWCOMER- AND IT SENDS KINKADE RIGHT OVER OUR FUCKING TABLE! EW! GET HIM AWAY FROM ME! I DON’T WANT THIS GUY AROUND ME!
Rich Russillo: Selina has taken complete control over this match! She rushes over and grabs Daryl by the hair, dragging him off of the announcer’s table, as Daryl tries to fight back, BUT SELINA WASN’T GOING TO ALLOW FOR IT TO HAPPEN, SENDING DARYL FULL SPEED AHEAD INTO THE STEEL STEPS!
James Peters: And the crowd is hyped and here for it! Daryl is clutching at his shoulder from the impact of him going into the steel steps, but Selina is going to rush over, picking him back up to his feet and throwing him into the ring before following suit! Selina may be looking to put an end to this match!
Rich Russillo: Daryl Kinkade is trying to crawl away to the corner, looking to use the ropes to get back to his feet, BUT HE ISN’T GIVEN ANY TIME, AS SELINA REYES RUNS IN AND KNOCKS HIM OUT COLD WITH THE ‘KNOCKOUT SMASH!’ THE RUNNING HIP ATTACK INTO THE CORNER CONNECTS BY THE WOMAN WHO CALLS HERSELF THE ‘ONYX QUEEN!’
James Peters: AND THIS COULD BE IT, AS SELINA DRAGS DARYL OUT OF THE CORNER WHO LOOKS TO BE OUT COLD, AND SHE HOOKS THE LEG!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Persephone: DARYL KINKADE KICKS OUT AT THE COUNT OF TWO! This match is going to continue even longer, even though I have no intrigue or interest for this match, or either of the people involved in this match, or interest in any of the matches happening tonight for that matter- IT CONTINUES NONETHELESS!
Rich Russillo: Selina Reyes had came very close right then and there to picking up the victory and getting the win over someone the level of talent as Daryl Kinkade here tonight in her debut match no less, but she is going to have to continue the torment even further if she wants the chance at victory.
James Peters: And that is exactly what she is going to do Rich, getting back up to her feet and grabbing Daryl by the hair, as she brings him back up to knees before taking a step back, AND A SHOOT KICK SLAMS RIGHT ACROSS THE CHEST OF DARYL, DAMN NEAR TAKING THE WIND OUT OF HIM! You see the way Daryl had to tense up for that kick?! Well he’s going to have to do it again! ANOTHER SHOOT KICK TO THE CHEST!
Persephone: Kinky boy is getting the shit knocked out of him right now. It’s pretty embarrassing, not gonna lie. And Selina is going to hook the head of Daryl, pulling him back up to his feet, AS SHE YANKS HIM HIGH INTO THE AIR, LOOKING FOR AN JUMPING IMPALER DDT!
Rich Russillo: BUT KINKADE MANAGES TO ESCAPE IT AND GO BEHIND, GRABBING SELINA BY THE HEAD INSTEAD AND PULLING HER INTO AN INVERTED DDT POSITION… LIFTING HER INTO THE AIR AND PLANTING HER WITH A MASSIVE INVERTED DDT! Down goes Reyes and just like that, Daryl has taken this match back into his grasp as he rolls over, and hooks the far leg, looking for the victory!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
James Peters: SELINA REYES WITH THE KICK OUT AT THE COUNT OF TWO! And you can tell that Daryl Kinkade is frustrated now, pounding the mat as he is trying to figure out what exactly he needs to do in order to put this newcomer away and get the victory tonight on Sunday Night Voltage.
Persephone: Maybe, hit her with one of your finishers? Or better yet, try to kill her? Get a gun and shoot her, or a knife and stab here to death, just so this match could end! That sounds very nice right now.
Rich Russillo: :whoa: I don’t think he needs to go that far Seph, but he definitely needs to find a way into victory right now, as he gets back up to his feet, pulling Selina up with him… AND HE MIGHT BE LOOKING FOR THAT KEY TO VICTORY RIGHT NOW, HOOKING ONTO HER, AND HE LOOKS TO PLANT HER WITH ‘A BEAUTIFUL LIE,’ THIS COULD BE IT!
James Peters: But it’s not going to be it, Rich, as Reyes is fighting her way out of his grasp! Selina is holding on, and she manages to kick out of it and escape from Daryl’s hold, AS HE RUNS IN AT HER- BUT GETS AN UNEXPECTED ROLLING ELBOW TO THE FACE FOR HIS TROUBLES! And that could have knocked out the ‘Kink of Elite’ right then and there! He stumbles to the ground, and rolls out onto the apron.
Rich Russillo: And Selina Reyes is going to follow shortly being Kinkade, exiting out onto the apron as well, as she brings him back up to his feet- BUT KINKADE WRAPS HIS ARMS AROUND HER, AND DRILLS HER INTO THE RING POST! Selina goes spine first into the ring post, looking dazed and confused!
James Peters: And Kinkade is going to grab her by the hair now, dragging her to the centre of the apron, and he hooks onto her, LOOKING TO CONNECT WITH A TIGER SUPLEX ON THE APRON! DARYL IS LOOKING FOR A TIGER SUPLEX, BUT SELINA MANAGES TO STOP IT! Selina breaks free from his hold, and Daryl swings, but Selina ducks and hooks onto him…! LIFTING HIM INTO THE AIR!
Persephone: DAMN! HE JUST GOT DROPPED ON HIS HEAD!
Rich Russillo: BRAAAAAAAAINBUSTAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!! BRAINBUSTER CONNECTS ON THE APRON AND DARYL KINKADE JUST HAD HIS HEAD DROPPED ON THE HARDEST PART OF THE RING! THIS MIGHT BE WHAT REYES NEEDED! She pushes him into the ring and follows suit, quickly looking for the cover as she hooks the leg and seizes her moment!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
James Peters: BUT DARYL KINKADE WAS JUST TOO CLOSE TO THE ROPES, AND HE MANAGES TO GET HIS FOOT ON THE ROPES; CAUSING THE ROPE BREAK AT THE COUNT OF TWO! Selina Reyes thought she had this match won right then and there, she thought the referee hit the mat for the count of three, when in reality, he hit the mat to signal the rope break!
Rich Russillo: Selina can’t believe it now that she had just spotted and noticed what is causing this match to continue onward! The frustration in her face is clearly showing, AND SHE MOUNTS ON TOP OF DARYL AND BEGINS WEARING HIM OUT WITH THOSE LEFTS AND RIGHTS! She needs to be careful that she doesn’t get herself disqualified right now!
James Peters: Well she doesn’t need to worry about that, backing off and getting back to her feet, as she stumbles back into the corner, AND I THINK SELINA IS SETTING DARYL UP! FOR THAT BUSAIKU KNEE STRIKE THAT SHE CALLS THE ‘ALAMO KNEE!’ DARYL KINKADE SLOWLY GETS BACK TO HIS FEET… AND SHE RUNS IN WITH THE RUNNING KNEE!!!!
Persephone: BUT DARYL KINKADE COLLIDES WITH HER AND MANAGES TO STRIKE HER FIRST WITH A STANDING SHINING WIZARD! THAT COMPLETELY TOOK SELINA DOWN TO THE MAT! YES! END THIS!
Rich Russillo: DARYL KINKADE YANKS SELINA BACK UP TO HER FEET AND HOOKS ONTO HER, CONNECTING WITH ‘HAIL TO THE VICTOR!’ THE PUMP HANDLE PILEDRIVER CONNECTS! COVER!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
James Peters: SHE GOT THE SHOULDER UP! SELINA REYES JUST GOT THE SHOULDER UP AND DARYL KINKADE CAN’T BELIEVE IT- BUT HE THINKS FAST, CAPTURING THAT VERY ARM AND ROLLING THROUGH INTO THE BRIDGING ARMBAR! ‘CATCH 22’ IS LOCKED IN!
Persephone: And, might I add, it is locked in in the middle of the ring, which, by my calculations, never ends well. Which also means, that she should just give up, and save us from this match having to go any longer! PLEASE?
Rich Russillo: THAT’S NOT HOW SELINA IS GOING TO GO DOWN, SEPH! SHE IS STILL FIGHTING THROUGH IT ALL, EVEN THOUGH DARYL CONTINUES TO WRENCH BACK ON THAT SHOULDER! If Daryl Kinkade can make Selina Reyes tap out here tonight, that will be embarrassing fashion to go out in your first match here in EAW! But Selina isn’t going to give up!
James Peters: She’s trying to scratch and claw, to make her way to the ropes, but there might be no point, as Daryl Kinkade is keeping her at bay, wrenching the arm back, keeping her secure exactly where he needs her, AND SELINA LOOKS LIKE SHE’S ABOUT TO TAP- BUT SHE ISN’T! SHE’S HOLDING ON! AND SHE’S HOLDING ON FOR DEAR LIFE, TOO!
Rich Russillo: BUT WAIT, LOOK AT THIS, DARYL KINKADE DROPS DOWN, LETTING GO OF THE ARMBAR, AND HE LOOKS TO LOCK IN THE CROSSFACE INSTEAD! KINKADE LOOKS TO SECURE THE WIN WITH ‘SHUT UP, BRUV!’
James Peters: BUT THAT SLIGHT BREAK DARYL GAVE SELINA LOOKING TO TRANSITION INTO A FAR DANGEROUS MOVE GIVES SELINA THE SPACE SHE NEEDED, AND SHE MANAGES TO PULL DARYL OVER INTO A CRUCIFIX PINFALL INSTEAD!
Persephone: IS HE STUPID?!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Rich Russillo: DARYL KINKADE KICKS OUT AGAIN AS BOTH ELITISTS POP BACK UP TO THEIR FEET- BUT SELIINA LEAPS ONTO HIS SHOULDERS, WRAPPING HER LEGS AROUND HIM, BEFORE FALLING BACK AND PLANTING HIM HEAD FIRST WITH THE POISON RANA! DARYL KINKADE IS OUT! SELINA REYES ROLLS HIM OVER INTO THE COVER!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
James Peters: BUT HE KICKS OUT AGAIN! DARYL KICKS OUT ONCE AGAIN! Selina Reyes was so close to victory right there, she had it in her literal grasp but it just wasn’t enough to get the job done, and I think she is starting to question what WILL be enough to get the job done and put an end to this match!
Rich Russillo: I think the crowd here tonight has determined who they want to see pull off the victory in this opening contest as they are cheering on the debuting ‘Onyx Queen’ as she pulls herself back up to her feet, backing into the corner once again, and she is calling for Daryl to get back to his feet once more!
James Peters: Daryl starts to slowly get back up to this feet and if Selina can actually connect with it this time around, this match is going to be over! SELINA BURSTS OUT OF THE CORNER AND SHE RUNS IN FOR THE ‘ALAMO KNEE’ AND THIS TIME IT CONNECTS-
Persephone: -FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!
Rich Russillo: NO IT DOESN’T! KINKADE CATCHES REYES WITH A SUPERKICK TO THE JAW BEFORE SHE COULD EVEN GET UP INTO THE AIR THIS TIME AROUND! But Selina is still on her feet, falling back into the corner as Daryl gets back up as well, seeing Selina caught in the corner, and he runs in at her, looking to take advantage, but Selina moves out of the way!
James Peters: AND SELINA COMES BEHIND, CAPTURING DARYL AND SHE LOOKS TO PULL HIM DOWN INTO A ROLL UP, BUT DARYL IS GOING TO ROLL THROUGH IT BEFORE THE REFEREE CAN EVEN START THE COUNT, AND HE POPS BACK UP TO HIS FEET, AS DOES SELINA WHO LOOKS TO TRY AND GET ONE LAST SWING DOWN UPON THE ‘KINK OF ELITE’ TO DAZE HIM-
Rich Russillo: BUT DARYL CAPTURES A HOLD OF HER AND PULLS HER AWAY FROM THE ROPES, BEFORE PLANTING HER WITH ‘A BEAUTIFUL LIE!’ THAT’S IT! THE CROSS LEGGED FISHERMAN’S BUSTER CONNECTS AND SELINA REYES IS LAID OUT COLD, DARYL KINKADE GOING INTO THE COVER!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Bella Braxton: HERE IS YOUR WINNER… DARYLLLLLLLLL KINKADEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
(‘Kamikaze’ by RedHook hits the speakers of the arena to an explosion of boos, as Daryl pushes off of Selina, getting into a seated position and taking a moment to really take in the battle that he had just been put through. He gets back to his feet, having his arm raised by the referee in victory while looking down at the defeated Selina.)
Persephone: Finally, it’s over.
Rich Russillo: What a way to start the night for us in terms of competition, as the debuting Selina Reyes really showed out here tonight and proved why she belongs in Elite Answers Wrestling against one of the very best, but it wasn’t enough in the end as Daryl Kinkade picks up a massive victory for himself.
James Peters: That is a huge victory for Daryl Kinkade, picking up some massive momentum for himself ahead of Bloodsport that is to come soon at the expense of the Onyx Queen. Congratulations to Daryl Kinkade!
(Daryl continues to celebrate his victory as he leaves the ring, backing up the ramp alongside Halsey and Pandora while Selina Reyes is seen disappointed in the corner with the referee tending to her. Voltage fades to commercial.)
(Commercial for the 2024 Paris Olympics plays starring Dynasty Elitist; Hans Grayson.)
( Sunday Night Voltage transitions back into the arena following a commercial break as we see Voltage Commissioner, Captain Charisma standing next to the Bloodsport Wheel of Death. Captain Charisma is looking sharp as one can be as he cracks a smile for those in attendance here tonight on Sunday Night Voltage. ‘Self Help Tape’ by Moses Sumney would be playing in the background as Captain Charisma would show off the wheel in all its great glory. Before long his music begins to fade out, and after this Captain Charisma begins to speak to those in the Ball Arena in Denver, Colorado! )
Captain Charisma: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to Voltage! As we transition from that opening match to kick off tonight’s show, how is everybody feeling tonight here in Denver!?
( The crowd cheers for Captain Charisma’s question, allowing their enthusiasm to answer it as tonight’s show is packed with matches that should be must-see. This includes Methuselah in action against Candice Blair and a tag team match which sees Limmy Monaghan & Adam Lucas teaming up to face off against Michael Machina and Bea Valentine. Captain Charisma cracks another smile as he continues to speak. )
Captain Charisma: That is great to hear! I am here once again to spin the mother of God’s creation, the holy grail that is known as the Bloodsport Wheel of Death! We have seen this wheel many times including just recently to determine the stipulation between Cameron Ella Ava and Akari Kiyoko which so happens to be an Exploding Barbed Wire TLC match. We also saw it week when the wheel decided that the match between Michael Machina and Ms. Extreme would be a Hardcore Iron Man Match. We’ll be seeing this wheel used later for some of the other matches that we planned for Bloodsport but for now, the wheel is out here right now for the match between KASAI & Ashlynn Quinn for the EAW Specialists Championship! Please welcome the challenger for the match, Ashlynn Quinn!
( ‘Dance The Night’ by Dua Lipa would begin to blast through the P.A System as Ashlynn Quinn makes her entrance alongside Bea Valentine. They both look exquisite, but they don’t get that much of a great reaction as the fans loudly boo. As they approach the ring, Ashlynn doesn’t look too sure about the wheel, but she is able to brush it off for now.)
Captain Charisma: Thank you for joining me up here Ashlynn. I see you brought Bea out here with you…
Ashlynn Quinn: She can be here if she wants to be! Is she not allowed to be here or something?? Is there a rule stating Miss Valentine can’t be here with me?
Bea Valentine: What a shame. Captain Charisma obviously isn’t familiar with the term friendship, it’s evident from the way he’s-
Captain Charisma: Okay! Okay! It doesn’t really matter right now. Anyways, since we have the challenger for this match out here, I think it’s time we bring out the Champion. With that being said, everyone please welcome the EAW Specialists Champion…. KASAI!
( “KARATE” by BABYMETAL would blast through in the arena as our EAW Specialists Champion, KASAI makes her way to the stage. She holds the title around her shoulder, and she has a grin on her face as she makes her way to the ring. She would shake the hand of Captain Charisma as her music then begins to fade out as both KASAI and Ashlynn are on the stage, with Bea in Ashlynn’s corner. )
Captain Charisma: Alright since you all are finally out here, let’s spin the wheel now and…
Bea Valentine: Wait just a single moment there Charisma! I think we need to address what happened last week here on Voltage. I was on the verge of an incredible win over Ms. Extreme, she was going to the shoe of the Transient Bea Valentine herself before the awful Diamond Dixon and KASAI decided they wanted to play a factor into my match. That match should have been mine to win, better yet every match should have been mine to win but there’s always something in the way of my victory. Things continue to go wrong for me, and right now Diamond and KASAI are causing these problems. All Diamond Dixon had to do was to call the match from the commentary booth, she had NO business attacking dear Ashlynn Quinn! Do you see the other commentators going into business for themselves when they see a distraction? No they sit down but I guess Diamond didn’t get the freaking memo! On top of that, our fraud of a Champion decided she wanted to deck Ashlynn right in the face! Quite frankly I am deeply upset about this whole thing, KASAI… you and Diamond aren’t going to get away from this I swear to God!
( KASAI doesn’t look bothered by what Bea had to say. In fact she has a large grin on her face as she responds back to Bea Valentine. )
KASAI: I see, so you really will keep blaming others for your failures no matter what! Listen Bea, I get your disdain for me, after all I took this prestigious Championship away from you. I took your Gloria and she became mine and now here you are. You claim that you’re moving on to bigger and better things but to me it looks like you’re still attached to both me and my Championship, and this little thing you have going with Ashlynn is just an excuse. You are trying to mold Ashlynn into someone capable of taking this title from me but the result of this match is clear as day-
Ashlynn Quinn: You’re right KASAI! It is clear as day, the result is so obviously going to be me becoming your NEW EAW Specialists Champion! Miss Valentine has been nothing but AMAZING to me, she has given all the support I need so I can take that Championship away from you. She was the best Specialists Champion this company has seen. A hundred times better than you for sure. She made that title special, she’s the best at what she does! The glitz, the glamor, and everything in between. I’m learning more and more from her every day. She just has something that you can’t grasp KASAI! So when you say the result is clear, you are right about that because the only result that’s going to happen at Bloodsport is going to be me holding onto that Championship and becoming just as good of a Champion Bea Valentine was.
( Ashlynn and Bea laugh together as the crowd in attendance show a mostly negative reaction towards them. KASAI isn’t having any of it as she responds right back to Ashlynn by saying… )
KASAI: As much as you are confident from your “learning” experience under Bea Valentine, the chances of you taking this title from me just aren’t very high. I have been dominant as the EAW Specialist Championship, I have defeated challenger after challenger including the likes of Brianna Hill, Mia Santoro, Usagi Senshi, two of those last challengers might I add were defeated in a single night in a Triple Threat match at Pain for Pride. As much as you try to make it seem like Bea Valentine was the greatest Specialist Champion, I am no fraud holding this title. I am the Huntress that took and destroyed every challenge that came my way and at Bloodsport there will be no exception to that rule. Ashlynn you are in for a world of hurt, a world that you can’t even begin to process when you step foot in that ring with me. What happened last week in Bea’s match, where you had your head smashed face first into that ring post, barged into that barricade, it will be only a fraction of what happens to you at Bloodsport.
Ashlynn Quinn; WRONG! Wrong! Wrong! Wrong! If this was a game show you would have gotten a buzzer sound with how wrong you are KASAI. What happened last week, was I was outnumbered by you and Diamond Dixon, she had no business dragging me down on that apron, she had no business getting herself involved at all. YOU needed me at my most vulnerable point but when the bell rings for our match, oooohh it will be a completely different story uggo, one that you aren’t even ready for!
KASAI: Oh trust me Ashlynn I know what I’m getting myself into, I am fully locked in for this match, ready to defend this title under any stipulation that is landed on this wheel. As a matter of fact, since you say it’s going to be a different story when the bell rings for our match, why don’t you spin the wheel so we can see what our matchup will be at Bloodsport? You’re the challenger, so I might as well give you this. Go on Ashlynn… Spin the wheel.
( After that suggestion from KASAI who tells Ashlynn to spin the wheel, Ashlynn turns and reads the stipulations on the wheel. She looks very nervous as she slowly looks at each one. It’s if she was told something scary to her as she responds back to KASAI by saying… )
Ashlynn Quinn: Yeah I don’t want to spin the wheel.
Captain Charisma: … What?
Ashlynn Quinn: Yeah… you see the stipulations on that wheel are completely awful, like why would I want to subject myself to the horrors of those stipulations?? I mean I would rather not go through something that will scar my body for life. All I need is a clean regular match at Bloodsport so I can beat KASAO and take that Championship away from her. That Specialists Championship is coming to Ashlynn, I’m going to be taking photos with it, and it will be GREAT with no scar on my beautiful body!
( Captain Charisma and KASAI are confused that Ashlynn Quinn is refusing to spin the Bloodsport Wheel of Death as KASAI responds to Ashlynn by saying… )
KASAI: So you’re not going to spin the wheel?
Ashlynn Quinn: Ummmmm… Nah.
KASAI: I guess I’ll just do it myself then.
Ashlynn Quinn: WAIT! WAIT! WAIIT!
( KASAI is taken back as Ashlynn stops her before she can spin the wheel. KASAI has another confused look on her face as Ashlynn says to her…)
Ashlynn Quinn: I mean come on Champion, do you really want to spin that wheel? Like I’m sure you don’t want to compete in the insane stipulations Captain Charisma put on this damn thing. Like do you really want to compete in something like that Exploding Barbed Wire TLC match that Cameron and Akari are going to compete in at Bloodsport? Like come on surely you just want to face me in a regular match too!
Bea Valentine: YES! YES! I mean come on KASAI, you have to be a little smarter than that, you and Ashlynn will have just an amazing match without these silly stipulations. They’re all pointless in my opinion. Your match deserves to be a straight one on one contest, you don’t see actors performing their own daredevil stunts do you? Of course not! Competing in whatever barbaric structures are on that wheel just isn’t wise. I’m also pretty sure Captain Charisma forget to clean the wheel, it has dirt on it and everything!
Captain Charisma: Ummm… the wheel looks perfectly fine to me.
Bea Valentine: I can see better than the average person.
KASAI: Yeah… I think I’m just going to spin this wheel anyways.
Ashlynn Quinn: NOOOO WAIT-
( Before Ashlynn could say something else to not let KASAI spin the wheel, she spins the wheel as it goes round and round. Everyone in attendance is watching where the wheel will land as Ashlynn is in a state of shock of the wheel being spinned. It spins and spins as eventually the wheel lands on… )

(…)
Captain Charisma: There you have it folks! KASAI will defend her Specialists Championship against Ashlynn Quinn in a…. BARBED WIRE DOG COLLAR MATCH!
( The audience would cheer for this match stipulation, extremely loud as they now know what match KASAI will be facing Ashlynn in! KASAI looks pleased at the stipulation. Meanwhile….)
James Peters: Did Ashlynn Quinn just faint?
Persephone: :mjlol: I think she did. Finally something entertaining.
Rich Russillo: Well we now know what stipulation the Specialists Championship match will have… But we might need to get Ashlynn some help before our upcoming match!
(Bea Valentine catches Ashlynn Quinn, tending to her as both Captain Charisma and KASAI look confused, ultimately shrugging it off. Bea tries to fan Ashlynn with her hands as she tries to wake her up. KASAI remains on ringside as she has a match coming up in just a few moments as she battles against Diamond Dixon. The final shot would see Bea still trying to wake Ashlynn before Voltage fades to a commercial break. )
(Promotional ad for Bloodsport, where KASAI defends the Specialists Championship against Ashlynn Quinn in a Barbed Wire Dog Collar match.)
(Voltage returns to ringside, where Ashlynn Quinn can be seated at commentary, and KASAI is seen in the ring. KASAI has a smirk on her face as she stares at Ashlynn, who seemingly has recovered after fainting. Before long, Bella Braxton 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!… From Amani, Kagoshima, Japan… Weighing in at 145 pounds… SHE IS THE SPECIALISTS CHAMPION, KASAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!
James Peters: KASAI is here, and Ashlynn we found out moments ago that you’d be facing her in a-
Ashlynn Quinn: DON’T SAY IT!
Rich Russillo: Right, we don’t want her passing out again. Anyways, I’m sure this will be a great match coming up, as the Champion takes on Diamond Dixon!
Persephone: What’s so great about that?
(‘Okay’ by JT hits, and there’s a loud reaction from the crowd as Diamond Dixon begins walking out to the stage. Diamond isn’t alone, as Tyrone Montgoery is out there alongside her as her manager. Diamond has a confident look on her face, and before long the two begin making their way down the ramp and towards the ring.)
Bella Braxton: And her opponent!… Accompanied by Tyrone Montgomery… From Houston, Texas… Weighing in at 176 pounds, DIIIAAAAMMMOOOOONNNDD DDIIIIXXOOOOOOONNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!
James Peters: Here comes Diamond Dixon, who has made her return to the ring this season! She recently has gotten into her own issues with Bea Valentine, and while she and KASAI have that in common, I’m not expecting them to play nice tonight with what was said throughout the week.
Rich Russillo: That’s right, and even beyond that we’re talking about a potential win over the Specialists Champion! This could be a great win for Diamond Dixon!
Persephone: Right… This better not take long.
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
James Peters: And here we go! Diamond Dixon with one of her first matches back, and her opponent is none other than the Specialists Champion, KASAI! Tyrone Montgomery at ringside while Bea Valentine watches from backstage, and Ashlynn Quinn is on commentary! Both women go to lock up, BUT DIAMOND IS ABLE TO OVERPOWER THE SMALLER ELITIST, POWERING KASAI INTO THE CORNER OF THE RING! KASAI knows she’s in a bit of trouble- BUT THE CHAMPION IS ABLE TO DUCK OUT OF THE CORNER JUST AS DIAMOND SWUNG AT HER! KASAI NOW WITH A KNIFE EDGE CHOP! These two haven’t had many issues with each other compared to their shared situation with Bea and you Ashlynn, but it looks like they’re not holding anything back! After all, no matter what happens after this, they’re opponents tonight!
Ashlynn Quinn: Don’t remind me of my match. You’re gonna make me think about those disgusting stipulations again!
Rich Russillo: KASAI now with a second chop- BUT DIAMOND RESPONDS WITH A BOOT TO THE JAW! KASAI falls out of the corner before rushing back to her feet, AND DIAMOND ATTEMPTS TO CATCH KASAI WITH THE CHOKE SLAM EARLY ON- BUT KASAI LEAPS OUT OF HER GRASP BEFORE DELIVERING A SUPERKICK! Diamond stumbles towards the ropes, AND KASAI RUNS IN BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A SECOND SUPERKICK, CAUSING DIAMOND TO FALL THROUGH THE ROPES! Diamond lands on her feet at ringside as Tyrone rushes in to check on her, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE KASAI HAS SOMETHING ON HER MIND!
Persephone: Hopefully it’s going home.
James Peters: NO, IT LOOKS LIKE IT’S A DROPKICK THROUGH THE ROPES- BUT LOOK! DIAMOND WAS ABLE TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY! KASAI LANDS ON HER FEET BUT SHE WAS CLEARLY CAUGHT OFF GUARD AFTER MISSING- ALLOWING DIAMOND TO GRAB HER AND SEND HER CRASHING INTO THE BARRICADE! KASAI hit the barricade hard, and so far this has been a very back and forth match! This has been one hell of a way for Diamond to make her return to the ring! Diamond now sending KASAI back into the ring before quickly following behind, AND KASAI STUMBLES TO HER FEET, BUT IS QUICKLY TAKEN DOWN WITH A CLOTHESLINE!
Ashlynn Quinn: UGH! This should’ve ended with a double count out! KASAI is gross, but Miss Valentine wouldn’t want to see Diamond win either.
Persephone: For once I agree with this idiot. Can we wrap this up? KASAI is getting bck to her feet, and I really don’t think I can handle another ten to fifteen minutes of this.
Rich Russillo: Well it looks like these two are showing no signs of slowing down, as Diamond kicks KASAI in the midsection! Diamond now with a forearm to the jaw as Diamond slows the pace down, making this an even tougher battle for the smaller competitor. Diamond now with an irish whip as KASAI is sent into the ropes- BUT KASAI BOUNCES BACK WITH A DROPKICK TO THE LEGS, DROPPING DIAMOND AS THE SPECIALISTS CHAMPION IS ABLE TO FIND HER WAY BACK INTO THIS! There’s a clear size difference which has definitely limited KASAI’s options tonight, but if there’s anyone capable of adapting it’s a Champion like her!
James Peters: Diamond is on all fours as KASAI runs the ropes, AND JUST AS DIAMOND STARTED PUSHING HERSELF UP, KASAI IS ABLE TO DROP HER WITH A SCISSORS KICK! KASAI NOW WITH THE COVER, AND ASHLYNN IT LOOKS LIKE SHE IS STARING DIRECTLY AT YOU!
ONE!
Ashlynn Quinn: And Diamond kicks out! Did she really do that for only a one count? Embarrassing!
James Peters: Well we’re still pretty early into this one, and seeing the look on KASAI’s face, I don’t think she’s necessarily upset about that kickout. Diamond is getting back to her feet, but she doesn’t do it unharmed as KASAI is able to begin throwing shoot kicks at her!
Rich Russillo: Diamond pushes herself back up, BUT KASAI CONNECTS WITH A SPINNING ELBOW, TAKING DIAMOND BACK! KASAI NOW KICKING DIAMOND’S LEG OUT FROM UNDER HER AS DIXON DROPS DOWN TO A KNEE, AND KASAI FOLLOWS THIS UP WITH ANOTHER SUPERKICK! DIAMOND IS DAZED, AND KASAI KNOWS THIS! KASAI seems to be fired up right now, and if she keeps this up Diamond might really be in trouble! KASAI now running the ropes as she looks for a-
James Peters: WAIT A SECOND! DIAMOND WAS ABLE TO GET BACK UP, AND SHE JUST SCOOPED KASAI UP INTO A GORILLA PRESS!!!! DIAMOND DIXON IS LIFTING THE SPECIALISTS CHAMPION, AND NOW SHE PLANTS KASAI WITH THE GORILLA PRESS SLAM!!! AMAZING FEAT OF STRENGTH BY DIAMOND, AS SHE GOES FOR THE COVER ON THE CHAMPION!
ONE!
TWO-
James Peters: KASAI GETS THE SHOULDER UP THOUGH, AND IT LOOKS LIKE A LOT MORE DAMAGE WILL NEED TO BE DONE IN ORDER FOR HER TO BE PUT AWAY! She’s a Champion right now for a reason, and we’re seeing that reason right now against Diamond Dixon, who is looking very impressive early on in her return run!
Ashlynn Quinn: Impressive??? There is NOTHING impressive about this. Miss Valentine would destroy her, okay?
Persephone: Alright, seriously. I can’t listen to her speak anymore.
Rich Russillo: Well, KASAI rolls out to the ring apron after that gorilla press slam, and that was definitely a smart move by the Champion as Diamond is forced to go after her. KASAI slowly pulls herself up as Diamond walks towards her, and Diamond grabs her- BUT KASAI IS ABLE TO CATCH DIAMOND OFF GUARD WITH AN ELBOW! DIAMOND STUMBLES BACK, AND NOW KASAI BEGINS CLIMBING UP TO THE TOP ROPE, LOOKING FOR SOME AERIAL OFFENSE!
James Peters: She doesn’t get the opportunity to follow through on her plan though, as Diamond just rushed in before shoving her legs out from under her! Diamond now beginning to climb to the middle rope while KASAI is stuck on the top rope, and it really looks like Diamond may be looking to put this one away quickly as she has some big move in mind here! I THINK DIAMOND IS LOOKING FOR A SUPERPLEX ON KASAI, AND IF THIS CONNECTS KASAI MIGHT JUST BE OUT OF THIS ONE!
Rich Russillo: BUT LOOK! KASAI IS ABLE TO BEGIN THROWING ELBOW AFTER ELBOW AT DIAMOND, DOING EVERYTHING SHE CAN TO FREE HERSELF FROM HER GRASP UNTIL FINALLY SHE SHOVES DIAMOND OFF OF THE MIDDLE ROPE! DIAMOND LANDS IN THE RING, AND NOW KASAI FINALLY GETS HERSELF BACK IN POSITION!
Persephone: If all goes well KASAI will slip off the top rope, break something, and cause the match to get called off! Let’s see if that happens. KASAI… OH COME ON! SHE DIDN’T DO ANY OF THAT! INSTEAD SHE JUST DOVE ONTO DIAMOND’S SHOULDERS FOR A DIVING HURRICANRANA!
James Peters: YEAH, BUT THAT IDEA MAY HAVE BACKFIRED! DIAMOND WAS ABLE TO HOLD ONTO KASAI, PREVENTING HER FROM DELIVERING THE HURRICANRANA! KASAI MAY HAVE JUST MADE A MISTAKE, AS SHE CLEARLY DIDN’T THINK ABOUT JUST WHAT DIAMOND WAS CAPABLE OF! SHE MAY HAVE UNDERESTIMATED HER OPPONENT THROUGHOUT THE WEEK, AND THAT MISTAKE MIGHT JUST HURT HER AS DIAMOND IS ABLE TO LIFT KASAI UP INTO A POWERBOMB CARRY! IT DOESN’T TAKE A GENIUS TO FIGURE OUT WHAT DIAMOND IS SETTING UP FOR-
Rich Russillo: YEAH, BUT KASAI DIDN’T ALLOW DIAMOND TO DELIVER THE POWERBOMB! SHE IS ABLE TO HOLD ONTO DIAMOND’S HEAD, BEFORE BEGINNING TO REPEATEDLY THROW FOREARMS AT HER, TRYING TO CAUSE DIAMOND TO LOSE HER GRIP ON HER! DIAMOND IS INITIALLY ABLE TO WITHSTAND THE STRIKES, BUT KASAI JUST KEEPS GOING, THROWING FOREARM AFTER FOREARM! SHE DOESN’T STOP, AND THIS CREATES AN OPENING THAT ALLOWS HER TO FINALLY HIT THE HURRICANRANA! DIAMOND IS DOWN, AND NOW KASAI RUSHES INTO THE CORNER OF THE RING WITH A GRIN ON HER FACE! DIAMOND GETS TO A KNEE, AND KASAI RUNS IN FOR CTE-
James Peters: SPINEBUSTER!!!! DIAMOND DIXON JUST CAUGHT KASAI WITH A SPINEBUSTER!!!! THAT WAS A HUGE MOVE TO CATCH THE SPECIALISTS CHAMPION OFF GUARD WITH, AND IT LOOKS LIKE SHE ISN’T DONE, EITHER! DIAMOND BEGINS TO RUN THE ROPES AS KASAI STUMBLES BACK TO HER FEET, AND DIAMOND TEARS THE CHAMPION IN HALF WITH A SPEAR!!! KASAI IS DOWN, AND SHE MIGHT JUST BE OUT AS THE SPECIALISTS CHAMPION MIGHT JUST BE ON THE VERGE OF LOSING THIS ONE! DIAMOND DIXON LOOKING TO HAVE A SUCCESSFUL IN-RING RETURN AS SHE HOOKS THE LEGS!
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE!!!
Ashlynn Quinn: She kicked out??? No, that ref counted slow! Likeeee, SUPER slow! He needs to be fired!
Persephone: I just want to be freed. :mjcry:
James Peters: KASAI was able to get her shoulder up JUST before the three count, and thanks to that Diamond Dixon will now need to find another way to bring this match to an end. Diamond gets back to her feet, and she keeps a cool head despite the kickout from KASAI! It also looks like she’s been able to ignore everything with Bea Valentine so far, who obviously has her issues with Diamond after these recent weeks.
Ashlynn Quinn: Ignore? How disrespectful of you. NOBODY can ignore the-
Persephone: Please, just shut up already. Why were you even allowed to do commentary?
Rich Russillo: Well she does have a match coming up against KASAI. Speaking of, the Champion has pulled herself into the corner of the ring, BUT DIAMOND RUNS IN BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A CLOTHESLINE IN THE CORNER OF THE RING! KASAI FALLS OUT OF THE CORNER, AND DIAMOND DIXON LOOKS LIKE SHE FIRMLY HAS THE UPPER HAND NOW!
(The camera briefly fades backstage as Bea Valentine is seen watching this match. As she stares at the screen she looks concerned, not enjoying the lack of ring rust shown on Diamond’s part. After this, the camera fades back to ringside.)
James Peters: Bea Valentine watching this match backstage, and she didn’t look happy at all! If you ask me, she actually looked a bit concerned!
Ashlynn Quinn: What are you talking about? Miss Valentine wasn’t concerned at all!
James Peters: Sure. Anyways, KASAI is slowly trying to pull herself up after all the damage she’s taken, BUT DIAMOND IS ABLE TO DROP HER WITH A SECOND CLOTHESLINE! Diamond is on top of this match right now, and I think we might see a shocking victory here for Diamond! Diamond now lifting KASAI up- AND IT LOOKS LIKE DIAMOND WAS LOOKING FOR THE BBL BREAKER- BUT KASAI IS ABLE TO SLIP OUT OF HER GRASP! DIAMOND TURNS AROUND, BUT SHE’S MET WITH AN ENZUIGIRI FROM THE SPECIALISTS CHAMPION! KASAI seems to have bought herself a few seconds to recover, and it can’t be said enough that she needed this!
Rich Russillo: KASAI now heading towards Diamond- BUT SHE’S TAKEN BACK WITH A FOREARM, CATCHING KASAI OFF GUARD! THESE TWO SEEMINGLY GOING BACK AND FORTH NOW AS KASAI RETALIATES WITH AN ELBOW, AND DIAMOND DELIVERS ANOTHER FOREARM! KASAI SWINGS AT DIAMOND ONCE AGAIN- BUT DIAMOND DUCKS UNDER IT BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A DROPKICK! KASAI IS DROPPED, BUT DIAMOND DOESN’T LOOK LIKE SHE’S FINISHED THERE! SHE DRAGS KASAI UP, BEFORE LIFTING HER FOR THE CHOKESLAM!
Persephone: Buuuut KASAI was able to pull Diamond down into an arm drag! Just great! I’m totally not tired of this match or anything!… Why did Diamond Dixon return to the ring again?
James Peters: Diamond now getting back up, BUT WAIT A SECOND! KASAI WAS ABLE TO CATCH DIAMOND WITH CTE!!!! THE KNEE CONNECTS THIS TIME, AND THIS TIME IT’S DIAMOND DIXON THAT MAY BE OUT!!! TYRONE MONGTOMERY IS WATCHING CLOSELY, HOPING THAT DIAMOND IS ABLE TO GET THE SHOULDER UP!
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE!!!
Rich Russillo: AND SHE DOES! DIAMOND IS ABLE TO GET THE SHOULDER UP, AND YOU HAVE TO IMAGINE BEA IS NOT HAPPY ABOUT THAT WHATSOEVER!
Ashlynn Quinn: I’m not happy either! These two are awful!
James Peters: KASAI is quick to act though, and she’s climbing up to the top rope, knowing that Diamond is still down despite her kickout! I don’t think Bea will be able to do anything with Tyrone here at ringside, and Ashlynn I don’t think you’d get away with disrupting this match, either! Is KASAI about to win this one and pin Diamond Dixon!?
Rich Russillo: KASAI DIVES OFF THE TOP ROPE LOOKING FOR KITSUNE’S BLESSING V2, BUT SHE DOESN’T GET IT! DIAMOND IS ABLE TO ROLL OUT OF THE WAY, BARELY AVOIDING WHAT WOULD HAVE BEEN A MOONSAULT DOUBLE FOOT STOMP! KASAI ROLLS BACK TO HER FEET AS DIAMOND SLOWLY PULLS HERSELF UP IN THE CORNER, AND NOW THE CHAMPION RUNS IN- BUT THERE’S A BOOT BY DIAMOND! That didn’t have the same power as before thanks to how hurt Diamond is, but it was definitely enough to force KASAI to back away and give Diamond some space!
Persephone: Okay, so that means it was useless. These two need to hurry up and pin each other. The last thing I need is for this match to drag out any longer than it already has. There’s a reason Diamond hasn’t wrestled in ages, and I have no idea how KASAI won a Championship. Bea is just that terrible.
Ashlynn Quinn: What?? How DARE you?
James Peters: KASAI stumbles out of the corner, AND NOW DIAMOND RUNS IN BEFORE LOOKING FOR A- NO! KASAI LANDS AN UPPERCUT TO FORCE DIAMOND BACK! KASAI LANDS A SECOND ONE, AND THIS DROPS DIAMOND DOWN TO A KNEE! KASAI NOW LOOKING FOR A ROUNDHOUSE KICK- BUT DIAMOND DUCKS UNDER IT, AND KASAI TURNS RIGHT INTO A DDT BY DIAMOND!!! Big move by Diamond Dixon as she maintains control of this one, and KASAI is really in trouble right now! If things continue like this, we may have a very unexpected winner tonight as the Specialists Champion might just lose this one!
Rich Russillo: Diamond Dixon pushes herself back to her feet, and she’s got to be ready to finish this match up! She begins dragging KASAI back to her feet, BUT KASAI THROWS A PUNCH TO THE RIBS, LOOKING TO GET OUT OF DIAMOND’S GRASP! KASAI LANDS ANOTHER SHOT TO THE RIBS, AND DIAMOND IS FORCED TO LET GO OF KASAI AS KASAI STUMBLES INTO THE CORNER OF THE RING, LOOKING TO TAKE A MOMENT TO RECOVER! DIAMOND USES THE OPPORTUNITY TO RUSH IN- BUT KASAI DUCKS UNDER THE CLOTHESLINE, AND AS SOON AS DIAMOND TURNS AROUND, KASAI CATCHES HER WITH A JUMPING HIGH KNEE!
Ashlynn Quinn: I don’t like this match at all!
Persephone: Me neither.
James Peters: Diamond stumbles out of the corner, AND KASAI SWINGS AT DIAMOND, BUT DIAMOND WAS ABLE TO DUCK UNDER IT! DIAMOND NOW LOOKING FOR THE PUMP KICK- BUT KASAI IS JUST BARELY ABLE TO AVOID THAT! CLOSE CALL FOR KASAI THERE, AS SHE QUICKLY DELIVERS A SPINNING BACK FIST THAT CAUSES DIAMOND TO STUMBLE TOWARDS THE ROPES! KASAI RUSHES IN- BUT DIAMOND DELIVERS AN ELBOW THAT KNOCKS KASAI BACK! SHE MAY HAVE GOTTEN AHEAD OF HERSELF THERE AS DIAMOND IS STILL IN THIS!
Rich Russillo: DIAMOND KICKS KASAI IN THE MIDSECTION, AND SHE TRIES TO LIFT KASAI UP FOR THE POWERBOMB, BUT KASAI BEGINS TO REPEATEDLY PUNCH AWAY AT DIAMOND, STOPPING HER FROM LIFTING HER UP! KASAI NOW KICKING DIAMOND’S LEG OUT TO DROP HER TO A KNEE, AND KASAI LOOKS FOR A KNEE TO THE FACE- BUT DIAMOND IS ABLE TO BLOCK IT WITH HER ARMS BEFORE SHOVING KASAI INTO THE ROPES! KASAI BOUNCES OFF OF THE ROPES, AND DIAMOND SCOOPS KASAI UP BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A BACKBREAKER! DIAMOND QUICKLY PUSHES HERSELF UP, AND NOW LOOK!
James Peters: DIAMOND LIFTS KASAI UP AND POWERS HER UP, AND I THINK SHE’S LOOKING FOR THE TORTURE RACK!!! DIAMOND IS TRYING TO APPLY THE TORTURE RACK ON KASAI- BUT KASAI IS QUICKLY ABLE TO DELIVER A FEW ELBOWS, FREEING HERSELF FROM DIAMOND’S GRASP BEFORE THE MOVE COULD CONNECT! KASAI LANDS ON HER FEET BEHIND DIAMOND, AND KASAI CONNECTS WITH A CHOP BLOCK TO THE BACK OF THE KNEE! DIAMOND DROPS DOWN, AND KASAI RUSHES BACK UP TO HER FEET BEFORE DELIVERING A VICIOUS ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD! THIS TIME IT CONNECTS, AND DIAMOND DIXON IS IN TROUBLE!
(The referee checks on Diamond Dixon while Tyrone Montgomery rushes to her side of the ring. During this, KASAI backs into the far corner of the ring, seemingly setting up for another move. However, during this the sound of a commentary headset being placed is heard.)
James Peters: Wait a second, where are you going Ashlynn!? The match isn’t over!
Persephone: Let her go. I was tired of her doing commentary. Anything is better than having to keep hearing her voice.
Rich Russillo: I don’t know about this. She’s heading over towards the timekeepers area, and she clearly has something in mind.
James Peters: Well while Ashlynn is busy over there, this match isn’t over! Diamond Dixon is getting back up following that roundhouse kick, and it looks like that’s exactly what KASAI was waiting for! KASAI BEGINS TO RUSH OUT THE CORNER- NO, WAIT A SECOND!
Rich Russillo: JUST AS KASAI WAS ABOUT TO RUN OUT OF THE CORNER, ASHLYNN TURNED HER AROUND FROM THE APRON AND HIT HER WITH THE SPECIALISTS CHAMPIONSHIP!!! KASAI HAS BEEN DROPPED, AND ASHLYNN JUST TOOK ADVANTAGE OF THE REFEREE AND TYRONE BEING FOCUSED ON DIAMOND! NEITHER OF THEM EVEN REALIZED ASHLYNN LEFT THE COMMENTARY TABLE!
James Peters: KASAI IS DOWN AND OUT, AND ASHLYNN QUICKLY DROPS OFF THE APRON AND BACKS AWAY FROM IT! DIAMOND IS BACK TO HER FEET, AND IT DOESN’T TAKE TOO LONG FOR HER TO PIECE TOGETHER WHAT JUST HAPPENED! DIAMOND DOESN’T LOOK PLEASED THAT ASHLYNN ISN’T AT THE TABLE STILL, BUT SHE KNOWS BETTER THAN TO LET THIS OPPORTUNITY SLIP THROUGH HER FINGERS! DIAMOND DRAGS KASAI UP, BEFORE PLANTING HER WITH FACELIFT!!!!! FACELIFT CONNECTS ON THE SPECIALISTS CHAMPION, AND THERE’S THE COVER BY DIAMOND DIXON TO WIN HER FIRST MATCH BACK IN THE RING!
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE!!!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Bella Braxton: Here is your winner… DDDIIIAAAMMMMOOOONNNNNDDDDD DDIIIIIXXXXOOONNNNNNNNN!!!!!!
(‘Okay’ hits, and there is a mixed reaction as Diamond Dixon gets off of KASAI. Tyrone Montgomery enters the ring to raise Diamond’s hand, but Diamond stares directly at Ashlynn Quinn, who she notices is holding the Specialists Championship. Diamond is annoyed Ashlynn got involved, but Ashlynn is more focused on KASAI, who she just cost tonight.)
James Peters: To say there was controversy would be an understatement, but Diamond Dixon was successful tonight! It’s a shame Ashlynn got involved, but we have to give Diamond respect for her amazing performance tonight. It didn’t look like she was showing any signs of ring rust!
Rich Russillo: I agree, and you also have to consider how tough of an opponent she had. If there was anyone that’d give her a tough match, it was KASAI, the Specialists Champion! KASAI had a fantastic performance in her own right too, but Ashlynn Quinn ruined that.
Persephone: Thank God she did. She’s stupid and sucks at wrestling but she did the world a favor ending this match.
James Peters: Well, congratulations to Diamond Dixon for picking up the victory! As fo Ashlynn Quinn, I’m not so sure KASAI will let her get away with this.
(Diamond Dixon and Tyrone Montgomery begin to leave the ring, having accomplished what they set out to tonight. As this happens, the camera briefly fades backstage, once again showing a shot of Bea Valentine who has seen this play out. Bea doesn’t look too pleased seeing the performance of Diamond tonight, and she walks away from the area as Voltage fades out.)
(The scene returned and it showed a backstage area of the Ball Arena. Sofia Clarke was seen sitting inside a make-shift wrestling ring with the camera focused solely on her.)
Sofia Clarke: When the EAW Draft took place, a lot of the Voltage faithful were surprised to see plenty of new, fresh faces on the roster this season. For years, Voltage has remained true to the Elitists that brought the brand into prominence, but this time, change was the name of the game.
(Sofia grinned and the camera panned out, revealing two of Voltage’s newest acquisitions sitting on either side of her.)
Sofia Clarke: Two of the new faces on Voltage have come to join me tonight to talk about what’s been going on between them. Please welcome Chiyo Gedo and Damien Kutcher.
(Both men nodded at Sofia and she continued speaking.)
Sofia Clarke: Chiyo, Damien. Thank you for joining me tonight. We are weeks away from you two meeting inside the ring to battle it out for the right to face the New Breed Champion at a later date. What are your thoughts on that?
(Chiyo shifted in his seat as he drew the microphone up towards his mouth. However, before he could speak, Damien chuckled.)
Damien Kutcher: While I appreciate you not wanting to waste any time tonight, Sofia, what we’re not gunna do is gloss over what happened last week.
(Sofia raised an eyebrow.)
Sofia Clarke: I assume you’re referring to the ending of Chiyo’s match against Lieutenant Colonel Michael Connor?
Damien Kutcher: Ahhh yes! Marine Mike, the valiant defender of this great, yet corrupt land. That’s exactly what I want to get into because it backs up what I’ve been saying all along about Gedo!
(Chiyo sighed because unfortunately he knew exactly where this conversation was going.)
Chiyo Gedo: The fact you want to liken my seizing an opportunity to get my first win of the season to anything even remotely Satanic proves just how delusional you really are. I was clearly unhappy about what went down in the match, but I can’t control the actions of British Invasion. Like everyone else, they’re fighting to be noticed and to assert themselves as future contenders to whatever championships they want, and even if I don’t agree with their tactics, they’re doing what they believe they need to do. I’m not ashamed to say that I wanted to win last week more than I wanted anything else at the time, and I took advantage of Mike being distracted. I’m sure you would have done the same thing.
Damien Kutcher: I beg to differ, because unlike you, I am a man of God. Whatever’s meant to be for me will come to fruition, because God has a plan for me. I may be winless so far in Season 18, but just like you, I have a chance to win the New Breed Championship. Unlike you, I can look in the mirror and be proud of the handsome reflection I see staring back at me because I did no wrong. I didn’t cause further harm to a man who was already down on his luck having been warned that his fiancée was about to find herself in a no-win situation against two ruthless women with no regard for humanity. I fought my opponent fair and square, and while the ending wasn’t what I wanted, it’s what God intended, and I am more than okay with that.
Chiyo Gedo: What do you want me to say at this point, Damien? Because talking to you is as productive as talking to a brick wall. I don’t see the point in having anymore discussions with you because you’re going to fall back on your ‘faith’, and you’re going to continue painting me in a negative light.
Damien Kutcher: It’s not my fault you chose to follow the path of darkness instead of coming towards the light. Being soulless and doing the Devil’s work will only take you so far as God always prevails in these situations. Once I beat you on Dynasty and take the New Breed Championship from either Vincent or BRAE, then I can truly stand at the top of this company and start ushering everyone down the proper path of righteousness.
(Chiyo pursed his lips. He wanted nothing more than to wipe the smug smile right off of Damien’s face but he held himself back.)
Chiyo Gedo: This is a waste of time because you’re only going to hear what you want to hear, and I don’t really think you understand logic at this point. I don’t follow Satan and I didn’t take any so-called path of ‘darkness’. I’m a hungry Elitist and I want to win. That’s it.
Damien Kutcher: That hunger you speak of is led by greed, and greed is a sin. You ARE on a path of darkness, Chiyo, and I tried to save you from that.
Chiyo Gedo: You haven’t tried to do shit for me.
(Sofia cleared her throat, wanting to get this sit-down back on track. Both men looked at her, and she flashed them a smile.)
Sofia Clarke: Circling back to the question I asked to get us started this evening. Chiyo, what would it mean for you to get the opportunity to compete for the New Breed Championship?
Chiyo Gedo: I would mean everything. BRAE and Vincent Mondrian are set to clash for that belt at Reckless Wiring next weekend and I’m going to keep my eyes on that match. Both of them are great competitors in their own right, but whoever emerges from Reckless Wiring as the victor is going to have a short lived celebration. I haven’t had the chance to compete for a title yet and I’m definitely ready. It makes no difference if that clown is standing in my way or not. I’m going to beat him and then I’m going to take the New Breed Championship for myself.
(Damien appeared to look thoughtful for the moment, despite having been called a clown. Sofia fixed her gaze on him and finally, he chuckled.)
Damien Kutcher: The day Chiyo Gedo wins a championship is the day Satan himself starts a snowball fight against those who dwell in the worst stage of Hell alongside him. Could you imagine Judas, Brutus, and Cassius all frolicking about, tossing snowballs, as the fire clips their ankles? It’s a ridiculous picture to envision and about as realistic as you beating me and going on to win a championship. Make it make sense, Chiyo. You’re going to be stepping into the ring with a man who has unfinished business with the New Breed Championship, and I’ve been waiting for another shot at it. Michael Machina may not hold that belt anymore, but I’m confident that our paths will cross again at some point this season and I’m fine with waiting for that. But to get another shot at the championship I wasn’t able to take from him? Chef’s kiss. Muah. God is rewarding me for my hard work and for spreading His most glorious word! He’s placing me in a position to do great things and that starts with beating the Devil out of you on Dynasty in two weeks.
Chiyo Gedo: I’m not going to continue letting you slander my character with your religious ramblings. I’m out here trying to make a name for myself, just like you are, but I’m not going to adopt some hypocritical gimmick in an attempt to get myself over. Maybe you really did find God, I don’t know, but you are not the threat you think you are, and if you want my opinion, the man you were last season was a hell of a competitor as opposed to the man I see sitting in front of me. You did get a chance to compete for the New Breed Championship and you came close to dethroning the man who would go on to make history with that belt, but ultimately you came up short. I’m telling you now that you should have made good on that chance because when it comes to the two of us, I’ll be the one getting my hand raised, Damien.
(Damien shook his head.)
Damien Kutcher: You call me delusional; I call you a dreamer. There is nothing wrong with being a dreamer, but as we all know, dreams don’t always come true. I don’t look at you and see a future champion of anything, let alone of a title that I have my sights set on as well.
Chiyo Gedo: I guess it’s a good thing my self-worth isn’t based on whether or not you believe I can make my dreams come true.
(Chiyo lowered his microphone and glared at Damien, who didn’t even flinch. It was obvious that both of these men wanted to beat each other and claim the New Breed Championship contendership.)
Sofia Clarke: Do either of you have any final thoughts?
Damien Kutcher: Actu-
(He was abruptly cut off by Chiyo, much to his chagrin.)
Chiyo Gedo: Keep your final thoughts to yourself, please. I think you’ve done enough talking these last few weeks and we all get it. You believe that you have been ordained by God to lead this company in whatever direction he sees fit. It’s the same spiel Solomon has, and truthfully, the same spiel Drake King has, except he believes he is actually God. What you’re doing or saying isn’t creative, nor is it original. I think you’ve lost sight of who you are, have no clue who you want to be, and you’re just grasping at straws at this point in order to survive. Well, you aren’t going to survive me, and when the bell rings and the two of us are finally able to just go off on each other, I’m going to kick your ass from pillar to post, and then I’m going to follow that up by winning my first ever championship.
(The fire in Chiyo’s eyes was evident, and for a few moments, Damien didn’t reply. At last, he raised his own microphone up.)
Damien Kutcher: Brotha, I’m going to pray for you.
(On that note, Damien stood up, sat his microphone down in his chair, and walked off the set. The camera zoomed in on Chiyo’s face, which had a look of determination on it, before Voltage faded out.)
(Commercial promoting the new Tyler Parker skin on Call of Duty.)
(Sunday Night Voltage returns as Bella Braxton is seen standing by with a microphone in her hand.)
Bella Braxton: The following singles match is a contest scheduled for…
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
(‘Just Stop’ by Disturbed blasts through the speakers as the crowd boos for British Invasion’s Pandora Paisley who is seen making her way out. She has a grin on her face as she makes her way down the ramp and to the ring.)
Bella Braxton: Introducing first, representing British Invasion… from Blackpool, England… weighing in at 9 stones… ‘THE HELLCAT’… PANDORA PAISLEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: Pandora Paisley and British Invasion are looking to make demanding statements tonight heading into Bloodsport. Earlier we saw them lay waste to their opponents in a heated brawl, and now they look to do the same again tonight.
Persephone: Who really cares enough about British Invasion to hate them so much? So what they attack family members, does it really make a difference what they do around here compared to everyone else?
(‘Taking What’s Not Yours’ by TV Girl then begins to play up as the crowd cheers loudly for Zane Grae as he’s followed by Travanna Volkova. Zane and Travanna talk amongst themselves for a moment before Travanna pats his back while they both make their way to the ring.)
Bella Braxton: And her opponent, accompanied by Travanna Volkova… from San Diego, California… weighing in at 150 pounds… ‘DREAMCHASER’… ZANE GRAE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
James Peters: Meanwhile Zane Grae is definitely not happy about what went down either, and is looking to make things up tonight as he is set to try and go for a massive win at the expense of British Invasion. He’s more than capable of doing that, but will he pull it off?
Persephone: No, let’s stop doing this whole thing where we put faith into these people who don’t deserve it. Let’s talk about Luis instead, I miss him…
(DING! DING! DING!)
Rich Russillo: Here we go, this singles match is underway and we’re getting one of two preview matches for the six-person tag at Bloodsport. While Effy McAvoy will face Halsey Neel later in the night, right now Zane Grae is facing Pandora Paisley, and after what happened earlier in the night, it’s safe to say that there’s a lot of animosity!
James Peters: WHICH IS WHY ZANE IS WASTING NO TIME! OUT OF THE GATE HE RUSHES FORWARD AND CONNECTS WITH A RUNNING DROPKICK STRAIGHT TO THE CHEST THAT SENDS PANDORA BACK! PANDORA FALLS AGAINST THE CORNER AND ZANE IS QUICK TO SHOOT BACK UP AND CONNECT WITH PUNCHES STRAIGHT TO THE FACE!
Rich Russillo: PANDORA DEFINITELY WASN’T EXPECTING THAT AND NOW ZANE IS STOMPING DOWN ON HER ABDOMEN, SLUMPING HER DOWN TO A SEATED POSITION! PANDORA IS DEFENSELESS AND ZANE HAS STEPPED BACK AND GAVE HIMSELF A RUNNING START… BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A FACE WASH RIGHT TO THE FACE! ZANE GRABS PANDORA AND DRAGS HER AWAY FROM THE CORNER BEFORE HOOKING THE LEG! GOING FOR AN EARLY PIN!
OOONNNEEE!!!
James Peters: BUT PANDORA KICKS OUT BEFORE TWO! Zane has come right out of the gate with fire in his eyes, but give her the right opportunity and Pandora is going to fire right back. Zane shoots up to his feet and runs to the ropes… BEFORE LAUNCHING THROUGH THE AIR WITH A SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT-
Rich Russillo: BUT THAT DOESN’T CONNECT WITH PANDORA MANAGING TO ROLL OUT OF THE WAY BEFORE IT CONNECTS! Zane lands hard on his chest as he stirs back up to his feet… BUT AS HE DOES IT’S PANDORA THAT LAUNCHES HIMSELF IN THE AIR AND CONNECTS WITH A BOOT STRAIGHT TO THE SIDE OF HIS HEAD! Zane staggers backward and toward the ropes as he manages to keep himself up despite the impact, AND PANDORA SEES THE OPPORTUNITY TO RUN TOWARD HIM AND SEND HIM OUT OF THE RING WITH A CLOTHESLINE-
James Peters: BUT ZANE SEES IT COMING AS HE GOES UNDER AND LIFTS PANDORA UP AND OVER THE TOP ROPE! Pandora is lifted over as she lands on the apron, with Zane turning around and trying to strike her- BUT IN AN INSTANT IT’S PANDORA WHO LIFTS HER LEG UP AND CONNECTS WITH A KICK RIGHT TO HIS FACE! Zane stumbles back but continues to approach… JUST FOR PANDORA TO GRAB HIM BY THE FACE AND DROP OFF THE APRON INTO A HOT SHOT TO TAKE ZANE DOWN!
Persephone: Please don’t get close to us, I only liked it when Luis did that.
Rich Russillo: Well it looks like you might not have a choice! Pandora then grabs Zane by the ankle before yanking him outside of the ring as well, grabbing him by the head… BEFORE SLAMMING HIS FACE AGAINST THE FRONT OF THE ANNOUNCERS TABLE! Zane grabs his face in pain as Pandora grabs him once again and follows it up… THROWING ZANE STRAIGHT INTO THE STEEL STEPS SHOULDER FIRST!
OONNEE!!
TTWWOO!!
James Peters: The count has started and Pandora is battering Zane pillar to post right now at the ringside area! She grabs a hold of him again… SENDING HIM STRAIGHT INTO THE BARRICADE AT FULL FORCE! Zane is toppled down to the ground as he grabs his back in pain, and this is exactly what Pandora Paisley needed to shift the offense in her favor!
(Pandora eyes Travanna Volkova across the ringside area who is watching with concern on her face, to which The Hellcat responds with sarcastic sobbing as she blows a kiss before continuing her offense.)
TTHHRRRREEEE!!
FFOOUURR!!
Persephone: Please lose by countout. I need this show to end so I don’t have to watch this.
Rich Russillo: Pandora isn’t done as she grabs Zane and brings him up a second time, SENDING HIM STRAIGHT INTO THE BARRICADE A SECOND TIME- BUT ZANE STOPS HER! He manages to break through and drive an elbow straight into her chest! Pandora is hurt and Zane takes the opportunity as he grabs a hold of her instead… BEFORE SENDING HER INTO THE BARRICADE!
James Peters: Zane is then quick to roll her back into the ring, as he then begins to make his way up onto the apron. Pandora slowly rises back up to her feet as she turns around… AS ZANE LAUNCHES OFF OF THE ROPES AND SOARS TOWARD HER BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A SPRINGBOARD CLOTHESLINE TO TAKE HER DOWN TO THE GROUND!
Rich Russillo: Both of these Elitists have gone back and forth trying to stay on top of the other, but right now it’s Zane in control as he gets back up to his feet. He eyes Pandora who is slowly stirring up as well, before grabbing her by the wrist and sending her toward the corner with an Irish whip. Pandora is backed up as Zane rushes toward her… BEFORE GOING FOR A CLOTHESLINE- BUT PANDORA MANAGES TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY AS SHE GRABS ZANE BY THE HEAD AND SLAMS HIM INTO THE CORNER INSTEAD!
James Peters: Pandora stumbles backward and takes a moment to collect herself, but then turns back around as she makes her way back over to him… JUST FOR ZANE TO CONNECT WITH A BOOT STRAIGHT TO HER FACE TO STOP HER IN HER TRACKS! Pandora staggers backward again while Zane then proceeds to climb up to the middle rope… HAVING HIS EYES SET AS HE LAUNCHED OFF AND GRABBED HER BY THE HEAD AND TAKES HER DOWN TO THE GROUND WITH A DIVING BLOCKBUSTER!
Rich Russillo: Zane then rolls back up to his feet as he eyes Pandora who is still continuing to persist, making her way up to a kneeling position while he turns around and runs to the ropes… LEAPING UP AND CONNECTING WITH A FRONT DROPKICK TO THE CHEST TO TAKE HER DOWN TO THE GROUND- NO! PANDORA BARELY MANAGES TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY OF THAT! Zane lands flat on his back but is quick to get back up to a kneeling position…
James Peters: BUT OUT OF NOWHERE HE’S CLOCKED WITH ‘CAT’S PAW’! THE SUPERKICK TO THE JAW CONNECTS COMPLETELY TAKING ZANE DOWN TO THE GROUND AND PANDORA IS QUICK TO DROP DOWN AND HOOK THE LEG AS SHE GOES FOR THE QUICK PIN ATTEMPT!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRR-
Rich Russillo: BUT ZANE MANAGES TO KICK OUT OF THE PIN! That was a close call and Pandora narrowly managed to get away with it, but Zane is continuing to fight and that certainly doesn’t make the British Invasion member all that pleased. She makes her way over to Zane and begins to stomp down on him, continuing to try and wear him down so she can get the opportunity to finish the job on this match!
James Peters: But you can see Zane slowly trying to inch himself toward the ropes, he’s absorbing the blows that he’s taking to the best of his ability but Pandora is being absolutely ruthless right now! He grabs a hold of the bottom rope and uses it to slowly rise back up to his feet, with Pandora quick to pivot as she grabs a hold of him by the arm and sends him toward the opposite side of the ring… GOING FOR A CLOTHESLINE-
Rich Russillo: BUT ZANE DUCKS UNDER THAT! HE MANAGES TO AVOID IT AS HE RUNS TOWARD THE ROPES THIS TIME…
James Peters: BEFORE PUSHING OFF OF THEM AND GOING FOR ‘ARSENE’S WRATH’!
Rich Russillo: NO! ZANE JUST TRIED TO GO FOR THE SPRINGBOARD CUTTER TO PUT THIS MATCH AWAY, BUT PANDORA JUST IN TIME MANAGED TO RUN FORWARD AND GRAB A HOLD OF HIM AROUND THE WAIST! She then begins to bring her toward the center of the ring… BEFORE LIFTING HER OFF THE GROUND AND TRYING TO CONNECT WITH A HUGE GERMAN SUPLEX-
James Peters: BUT ZANE JUST LANDED ON HIS FEET! HE STAGGERS BACKWARD WHILE A BEWILDERED PANDORA GETS BACK UP TO HER FEET! SHE RUSHES FORWARD AND TAKES A WILD SWING AT HIM-
Rich Russillo: BUT ZANE DUCKS UNDER THAT BEFORE LIFTING HER UP AND TAKING HER DOWN WITH AN ABSOLUTELY EMPHATIC BLUE THUNDER BOMB! ‘QUICKSILVER’ MANAGES TO CONNECT AS PANDORA IS DROPPED DOWN TO THE GROUND AND ZANE PINS HER SHOULDERS TO THE MAT! WILL HE BE ABLE TO PUT THIS AWAY?!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRRREEEEEE-
James Peters: BUT BEFORE THAT HAPPENS IT’S PANDORA WHO MANAGES TO KICK OUT OF THAT! Zane threw everything that he had at her and now he has the slightest of a chance to pull himself back into this match, and by the look on his face, I think that’s all he really needed. He grabs a hold of her and brings her back up to her feet before sending her to the ropes… LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND GOING FOR A DROPKICK-
Rich Russillo: BUT THAT DOESN’T HAPPEN AS PANDORA MANAGES TO GRAB A HOLD OF THE ROPES BEFORE SHE REBOUNDS OFF OF THEM! Pandora is exhausted but even then she’s still showing some fight, as Zane makes his way toward her… ONLY FOR PANDORA TO NAIL HIM WITH A BACK ELBOW TO THE FACE! This sends Zane back as Pandora takes the opportunity… RUSHING FORWARD AND TAKING HIS HEAD OFF WITH A MASSIVE BIG BOOT STRAIGHT TO THE FACE!
James Peters: All Pandora needed was one opportunity, both of these Elitists have been going back and forth in this match but when it comes down to it only one of them is going to be able to come out of this one with their hand raised in victory.
Persephone: Unfortunately.
Rich Russillo: Pandora grabs Zane and brings him up to his feet, dragging him over and slamming him against one of the corners! Now she’s wasting no time beginning to lay into him with strikes to the face! Zane is trying to fend them off to the best of his abilities, but it’s clear right now that he’s had a lot taken out of him!
James Peters: Pandora then grabs Zane by the head and takes him down with a Snapmare, then rushes toward the ropes and back… BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A STOMP STRAIGHT TO THE CHEST! Zane is down but is slowly starting to stir back up to his feet as Pandora runs to the ropes again… BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A SECOND STOMP! Pandora is ruthless now as she turns around and runs the ropes again… BEFORE THIS TIME FOLLOWING THAT UP WITH A MASSIVE KICK-
Rich Russillo: BUT THAT DOESN’T HAPPEN! ZANE MANAGES TO CATCH THE LEG JUST IN TIME! Pandora is hobbling trying to get herself out of there, but Zane is slowly rising up to his feet, still keeping a hold of that leg! BUT PANDORA LEAPS UP AND GOES FOR AN ENZUIGIRI TO THE HEAD- ZANE DUCKS THOUGH! HE THEN TURNS IT AROUND AND LOCKS IN A SINGLE-LEG BOSTON CRAB!
James Peters: THE SUBMISSION HOLD IS IN! PANDORA IS SCREAMING IN PAIN AS ZANE DROPS ALL HIS WEIGHT DOWN ONTO IT! THIS IS THE OPENING THAT HE NEEDED TO GET BACK INTO THIS! BUT PANDORA IS CRAWLING AWAY! DOING WHATEVER SHE CAN RIGHT NOW TO TRY AND GET OUT OF THIS BEFORE IT ENDS UP GETTING THE BETTER OF HER!
Persephone: Can she just tap out and we get this over with please…?
Rich Russillo: PANDORA IS REACHING OUT, AND SHE KNOWS THAT IF SHE CAN’T GET THE ROPE BREAK THEN THIS MATCH IS OVER RIGHT HERE! ZANE IS CONTINUING NOT TO RELENT, MAKING SURE THAT IF HE HAS THIS OPPORTUNITY HE TAKES IT RIGHT NOW! PANDORA IS FINGERTIPS AWAY!
James Peters: AND SHE MANAGES TO GET IT! SHE REACHES OUT AND GRABS THE BOTTOM ROPE AND FORCES THE ROPE BREAK! ZANE IMMEDIATELY LETS GO! EVEN THOUGH IT DIDN’T FINISH THE JOB, IT CERTAINLY HAD ITS EFFECT ON PANDORA PAISLEY AS YOU CAN SEE THE PAIN ETCHED ON HER FACE RIGHT NOW!
Rich Russillo: And now Zane has his eyes set, he knows that one right move here and he can finish the job. If he somehow manages to capitalize on this situation right before him right now then he’ll be the one that makes the statement heading into Bloodsport. He’s rolling out onto the apron as he begins to rise up using the ropes. Pandora is stunned as she grabs a hold of her head and begins to rise back up…
James Peters: AS ZANE GOES OVER THE ROPES AND ATTEMPTS TO CONNECT WITH THE ‘IN-ZANE LARIAT’! THE BUCKSHOT LARIAT STRAIGHT TO THE HEAD OF PANDORA!
Rich Russillo: NO! PANDORA MANAGES TO CONNECT WITH THE ‘LOVE TAP’! THE JUMPING KNEE STRAIGHT TO THE HEAD LANDS FLUSH AGAINST ZANE AS HE’S TAKEN DOWN TO THE GROUND! PANDORA CATCHES HIM RIGHT IN TIME AS SHE HOOKS THE LEG AND IS QUICK TO GO FOR THE PIN!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRREEEE-
James Peters: BUT ONCE AGAIN IT’S ZANE WHO MANAGES TO KICK OUT OPF THAT ONE! He’s continuing to persist, not letting up for even a moment, and that is definitely not sitting right with Pandora as she rises back up to her feet. She’s yelling at him to get up, realizing that even though he did manage to avoid trouble with that, she still has a pristine opportunity right before her eyes to close this one out which she plans to do!
Rich Russillo: Zane is stirring up, clearly fatigued right now, and doing everything that he possibly can to fight back. He slowly rises up to his feet, clearly not knowing that Pandora has in store for him right now as she makes her way over…
James Peters: SHE’S GOING FOR ‘CATNAP’! THE SCISSOR SNAP DDT TO ZANE!
Rich Russillo: NO! ZANE MANAGES TO AVOID IT! HE TURNS AROUND BEFORE LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTING WITH AN ENZUIGIRI TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD! PANDORA IS DROPPED DOWN TO A KNEELING POSITION AS ZANE THEN TURNS AROUND AND RUNS TO THE ROPES AND BACK!
James Peters: HE GOT IT! HE MANAGES TO CONNECT WITH ‘ARSENE’S WRATH’! THE SPRINGBOARD CUTTER COMPLETELY DROPS PANDORA DOWN TO THE GROUND AND ZANE IS WASTING NO TIME ROLLING HER ONTO HER BACK AND HOOKING THE LEG! HE’S GOING FOR THE PIN! IS THIS GOING TO BE IT RIGHT HERE FOR THIS MATCH?!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHHRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
Rich Russillo: NO! JUST IN TIME THE REFEREE MANAGES TO STOP THE COUNT! THEY POINT OUT THAT PANDORA MANAGED TO GET HER FEET ON THE ROPE JUST IN THE NICK OF TIME AND THIS IS A ROPE BREAK! ZANE IS IN DISMAY RIGHT NOW! HE WAS SO CLOSE TO MANAGING TO COME OUT OF THIS ONE WITH THE WIN!
James Peters: But it’s going to take a little more than that and he knows it as he begins to get back up to his feet. Zane knows how close he is right now to getting this victory, he knows it’s right in the palm of his hands as long as he takes advantage of this while he can. Pandora is slowly rolling to the edge of the ring as she clutches hold of the ropes, using them to rise back up as she stumbles toward Zane, and he knows that he has to act fast!
Rich Russillo: AS HE LEAPS UP AND LOOKS TO CONNECT WITH A SECOND ’ARSENE’S WRATH’ TO PANDORA PAISLEY!
James Peters: BUT PANDORA MANAGES TO RUSH FORWARD BEFORE KICKING THE ROPES OUT FROM UNDERNEATH HIM! ZANE TUMBLES DOWN TO THE GROUND AND PANDORA TAKES ADVANTAGE BY MAKING HER WAY OVER AND GRABBING HIM BY THE HEAD BEFORE BRINGING HIM BACK UP TO HIS FEET!
Rich Russillo: SHE’S GOING FOR ANOTHER ATTEMPT AT ‘CATNAP’ TO ZANE!
James Peters: BUT ZANE MANAGES TO SLIP OUT OF IT AS HE TURNS AROUND AND CONNECTS WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK RIGHT TO THE SIDE OF HER HEAD THAT LEAVES HER ABSOLUTELY ROCKED! ZANE THEN TURNS AROUND AND RUNS TO THE ROPES AND BACK… BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A SHOTGUN DROPKICK RIGHT TO THE CHEST! HE’S FIRED UP NOW! HE’S GETTING BACK UP TO HIS FEET AND HE KNOWS THAT IF HE HITS THIS IT COULD VERY WELL BE OVER HERE! HE’S JUMPING OUT ONTO THE APRON! IT’S TIME!
Rich Russillo: HE’S GOING FOR THE ‘IN-ZANE LARIAT-
James Peters: WAIT! WAIT! ZANE STOPPED! LOOK WHO’S RUNNING DOWN THE RAMP!
Persephone: It’s the rest of British Invasion… yay.
(Halsey Neel and Daryl Kinkade are seen rushing down the ramp, as Zane is shouting at them to get away, but their attention isn’t even on him right now. They continue to make their way around the ringside area as if he isn’t even there before they set their sights on…)
Rich Russillo: What the hell are British Invasion doing?! They’re approaching Travanna Volkova at ringside!
James Peters: We know what happened last week! When British Invasion attacked Lt. Colonel Michael Scott Connor’s fiancee Jane Murphy and left her bloodied! Could they perhaps have found their next victim?!
(Travanna is seen backing up against the barricade, trying to talk them out of doing whatever they have in mind, but Daryl and Halsey have already cornered her, and it’s clear their intentions right now.)
Rich Russillo: TRAVANNA HAS JUMPED THE BARRICADE! SHE’S RUSHING AWAY FROM THE SCENE AND HALSEY AND DARYL AREN’T EVEN GOING AFTER HER RIGHT NOW! ZANE IS BREATHING A SIGH OF RELIEF AS HE TURNS AROUND AND LEAPS OVER FOR THE ‘IN-ZANE LARIAT’ TO PANDORA INSIDE OF THE RING-
James Peters: WAIT! PANDORA MANAGES TO CATCH ZANE WITH ‘PANDORA’S BOX’! THE MAFIA KICK DROPS ZANE DOWN TO THE GROUND AND HE’S OUT OF IT! THE DISTRACTION BY BRITISH INVASION MIGHT HAVE JUST COST ZANE THE MATCH AND PANDORA IS WASTING NO TIME LUNGING FORWARD AND HOOKING THE LEG AS SHE GOES FOR THE PIN ATTEMPT!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘Just Stop’ begins to blast through the speakers as Pandora Paisley rises back up to her feet. She has a smirk on her face as she licks her lips, the referee taking her hand and raising it in the air. She’s quickly joined by the members of British Invasion, who look to celebrate a quite tainted victory with her tonight, but they don’t care.)
Bella Braxton: Here is your winner… PANDORA PAISLEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: Well with some controversy surrounding it, Pandora Paisley has come out with the win. Zane got distracted by what was going on at ringside involving what was going on with Travanna and British Invasion and that was enough for Pandora to capitalize.
James Peters: That’s one match done, and now Halsey Neel has to face Effy McAvoy later in the night as they look to send a preview for Bloodsport. Could this be the sight that we see in just a couple of weeks? That remains to be seen.
(The last shot seen is British Invasion leaving the ring as an angered Zane Grae watches on, all while Sunday Night Voltage fades to elsewhere.)
(Commercial for Marvel’s Deadpool & Wolverine. In theaters now!)
(Voltage returned from break and the ringside area was shown. Bella Braxton was standing by with a smile on her face.)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the number one contender to the EAW Hardocore Championship… AKARI KIYOKO!!!
(‘TENKI YOHOU’ by batta started to play across the PA system and the crowd stood up. They showered Akari with cheers as he walked onto the stage, pandered to them for a moment, and then started to make his way towards the ring.)
James Peters: I think it’s safe to say that the battle between Akari Kiyoko and the Hardcore Champion, Cameron Ella Ava, was already heated, but things took a turn last week when the two Elitists would team up against Effy McAvoy and Zane Grae.
Rich Russillo: Seemingly done with the match, the champion would refuse the tag from Akari, and leave him high and dry. Thanks to Cameron’s actions, Zane and Effy would pick up their first wins of the season, while Akari found himself down and out. I know he can’t be happy about how the match ended last week.
Persephone: You know who else isn’t happy, Rich?
Rich Russillo: Me, because you keep turning me down.
James Peters: :mjlol:
(Akari got into the ring and took the microphone from Bella. A sigh escaped his lips as he looked around at the sold-out crowd. He had spent the past week thinking about what went down between Cameron and himself, and every single day the irritation over the situation seemed to grow. Finally, he leaned against the ropes and gripped the microphone.)
Akari Kiyoko: And now I’m pissed off, Cameron.
(Akari’s statement, while simple, resonated with the audience. They showered him with their approval, not out of hatred for Cameron, but for her actions and for Akari showing the fortitude to speak out about it and let everyone know his feelings about it.)
Akari Kiyoko: There’s a couple of reasons as to why I’m pissed off about it. Number one, what you did was a shit thing to do. Number two, I should have seen it coming.
(Akari pushed off the ropes and walked towards the center of the ring.)
Akari Kiyoko: You’re an Ava, and throughout the years, while building a reputation of excellence, your family has also built a reputation for being sneaky and underhanded at times. You are the woman who proudly called herself ‘The Serpent’ last season and promoted ‘snake behavior’ as if it were some type of badge of honor. I should not have been surprised that you would walk away from a tag team match that we were more than capable of winning, but I was, and that’s on me. I figured with a title on your shoulder, you would want a win more than anything else, but that shows how much I know and how much I still have left to learn. Zane Grae and Effy McAvoy shouldn’t have gotten their first wins in EAW over a Hall of Famer and the man who’s about to take her title. They should have been sent backstage with their managers, forced to reevaluate what they’re doing wrong, and made to fix it, but yet, that’s not what happened. Thanks to you, Zane pinned my shoulders to the mat and two Elitists, in what? Their third match? They were able to pick up a win that never belonged to them in the first place.
(Akari’s voice was laced with anger, and that was backed up by the look on his face. While a rookie himself, he had just defeated Zane the previous week, as Cameron had done the same against Effy.)
Akari Kiyoko: Why? In fact, you don’t even need to answer that. I know why. You are everything people have labeled you as; a snake, a self-righteous asshole, and to put it bluntly, a bitch. The only person Cameron Ella Ava cares about is herself, and that was never more obvious than last week. While you may be able to disregard talent like Zane and Effy, I can’t, and even if I could, I wouldn’t. I didn’t come here to play around or play second fiddle to anyone. I came here to become one of the best and in order to do that, I’m not going to settle for taking losses to people who have yet to reach the level I’m at because you’re a dick and wanted to prove a point, despite the point you wanted to prove having no relevance to the current situation. But hey, at Bloodsport, when all of this comes to a head, you’re going to be the one who ends up making history as one of the shortest reigning Hardcore Champions of all time, and there is nothing you can do to stop that from happening.
(‘Good for Her’ by MOTHICA featuring emlyn started to play, which caused the crowd to react accordingly. Cameron Ella Ava was forever a polarizing figure and more often than not, she was greeted with a mixed reaction.)
Rich Russillo: Well, it was only a matter of time before the champ herself was going to come out. Cameron Ella Ava is not the type of woman to just sit back and let other people talk about her.
Persephone: It’s a shame she’s not because I’ve already had enough of this loser talking. The last thing I want to do is waste my time listening to two losers talk about nothing that matters.
James Peters: Well the Hardcore Championship matters to both of these athletes, Seph, and judging by the look on Cameron’s face, she doesn’t exactly agree with what Akari has been saying so far.
(Cameron took a spare microphone from the timekeeper’s area before she made her way up the ring steps. Once inside, she walked over to Akari and stood in front of him.)
Cameron Ella Ava: First, let me set the record straight about last week. I did what I did because I’m Cameron Ella Ava. Can they co-exist bullshit isn’t something I’m going to adhere to unless it’s benefitting me and working with you had no true benefit for me, Akari. I’m at the stage of my career where I can pick and choose my battles and have little repercussions for the decisions I make, and that’s something you need to be well aware of. Do you think it matters if I have a random tag team match loss on my record from an episode of Voltage that has likely already been forgotten? You’re surely not that stupid. I don’t have dues to pay, and more importantly, I don’t have time to waste. You wanted to get the first hit in and I’ll give you credit, you did. But in doing so, you made me realize that if I have to deal with people like you during this championship reign, I’m going to need to put my foot down. You got your cheap shot, and that’s all you’re going to get on me, Akari. I know you’re good inside the ring, but you’re not as good as me. You don’t have the knowledge I do, nor do you have the experience. Stepping up to fight for a championship puts you into another category as an Elitist. You start facing competition that has been around the block more than once. You haven’t even scratched the surface of making your name here and I’ll be damned if you think you’re going to do that at my expense.
(Cameron looked Akari in his eyes as she spoke the last line, and she narrowed hers at him.)
Cameron Ella Ava: The days of me being nice to new talent are done, which is why I left the ring last week. It wasn’t just to send a cute little ‘fuck you’ at my Bloodsport opponent, it was to send that message to EVERYONE on Voltage who thinks they’re going to leech off of my success this season. When someone of my caliber and fame gets a championship like the Hardcore Championship, many assume a step back is taken. But that’s not always the case. I may not have spent all of last season chasing this title, but I ended the season winning it and that right there automatically put the Hardcore Championship on the map. It brought it to an unprecedented level that has never before been seen. You can roll your eyes at my words all you want, but there’s truth to them and you know it. That’s why you’re so determined to somehow rise up to that next level and end my reign before it even really gets started.
Akari Kiyoko: I’ll concede that you just made a few valid points, because beating you for that title will elevate me. I can talk all the shit I want, but none of it will ever take away what you have accomplished in this business and the standard you have set for female wrestlers. I’ll even admit that you probably don’t get enough credit for opening doors that were previously sealed shut for women. But you’ve had your time in the spotlight, Cameron, and I’m hungry to start making a name for myself.
Cameron Ella Ava: Good for you, Akari, but I guess where our disconnect comes in is the fact you want to use me as your stepping stone. That’s not going to happen, and I don’t give a damn if you think I’ve had my time already. It will never NOT be my time because Cameron Ella Ava is TIMELESS. I have risen to the top of this company through all the different eras of it. There is no one I can’t beat, and I’ve proven that countless times, and you’re going to be another person to fall at my feet. I’m done fucking around with people who are desperate to become famous. Work hard and you’ll get there some day, but miss me with the rest of your bullshit. I don’t know why you think I’m going to just roll over and die because the almighty Akari Kiyoko is coming for me at Bloodsport, but it’s not happening… PERIOD!
(Unable to help it, Cameron rolled her eyes and tucked a strand of dark hair behind a delicate, diamond studded ear. Her fashionable, chic style was a stark contrast to the championship she wore, but it painted an interesting picture.)
Cameron Ella Ava: I have gone through hell and back, over and over again, throughout my entire career. You can’t stand there and give me a single scenario that I haven’t seen before and overcome. My experience is unparalleled and I am unlike anyone you have ever faced, so for you to act like you’re the be all, end all when it comes to challengers is a fucking joke. I don’t care if you assume me to be arrogant, or if you think I’m looking down at you. I said I know you’re good, but you aren’t me. You aren’t a Hall of Fame level competitor. It remains to be seen what your future might hold, because it’s not a secret that the tenured veterans of this company take newcomers with a grain of salt because we’ve seen so many fizzle out and disappear into thin air, but whatever your future is doesn’t involve MY Hardcore Championship.
(Cameron touched the necklace at her throat, which was gold and spelled out Hathaway’s precious name.)
Cameron Ella Ava: I didn’t just win this title for myself, I won it for my son, and that right there should tell you how fucking hard I’m going to fight to keep it.
(Akari nodded his head, knowing better than to make things personal with Cameron, at least when it came to her family. He wasn’t the type of person to go low, and he wasn’t going to start now even if this woman had done nothing but disrespect him.)
Akari Kiyoko: I understand what you’re fighting for and I give you props for winning a title after becoming a mother. I’m not going to be like some Elitists, those ignorant enough to make that their talking point and harp on it. But I will say this to you, Cameron. You might be fighting for more than just yourself, and I do respect that, but every fight does come to an end. Whether you like it or not, you are going to have a short-lived championship reign because I will be taking that title from you at Bloodsport and I have no problem with repeating that.
(Having said all that he wanted, Akari let his microphone drop and he went to leave the ring. Cameron did not make a move to go after him; instead, she continued to play with the ‘Hathaway’ charm on her necklace.)
James Peters: Strong words from both competitors, and I love the fact that Akari refuses to back down. He’s not afraid of Cameron Ella Ava or her legacy, and he may just end up pulling off a huge upset.
Rich Russillo: But as we all know, Cameron isn’t the type of woman to go down without a fight. Bloodsport is going to be the toughest match of Akari’s career so far and I hope he’s ready for it.
Persephone: Maybe both of them will pull an Adam Lucas and get glass stuck in their respective jugulars. Except I want them both to die.
(As Akari approached the stage, he turned around to look at Cameron. The two competitors made eye contact and Akari made the title motion around his waist. All Cameron could do was roll her eyes as Voltage faded elsewhere.)
(The camera cuts backstage to Captain Charisma’s office door, and Bea Valentine enters the frame, garnering boos from the audience in Denver, Colorado. Bea takes a deep breath before knocking on the door, and Captain Charisma can be heard from inside the office.)
Captain Charisma: Come in!
(Bea Valentine opens the door, and Captain Charisma can be seen sitting behind his desk, doing some work on a laptop, but closes it once realizing who it is, a smile forming on his face.)
Captain Charisma: Bea Valentine, just the woman I wanted to see.
(Captain Charisma steps out from behind his desk and shakes her hand.)
Captain Charisma: Bea, Bloodsport is right around the corner, and it is tradition that everybody takes a spin on the Wheel of Death. :mjgrin:
(Captain Charisma directs Bea over to the wheel in his office, and looking over the stipulations, Bea’s not thrilled in the slightest to possibly have to compete in one.
Captain Charisma: Hence, I’ve called you here to my office. Bea, I want you to take a spin at the wheel so we can decide the stipulation for your match against Diamond Dixon at Bloodsport.
(Bea Valentine raises an eyebrow at this.)
Bea Valentine: My what?
(Captain Charisma looks a little confused.)
Captain Charisma: …your match. The one you have against Diamond Dixon.
Bea Valentine: Ohhh, that match. Listen, I read last week as more of a challenge than anything, and one that I never accepted because I was laid out following her heinous and downright UNPROVOKED attack against me after I had just competed in a grueling match versus Ms. Extreme. So, I don’t get why I’m being punished for her actions. If you ask me, Diamond Dixon should be suspended.
(Bea Valentine lets out a hmph and crosses her arms, closing her eyes as she looks away from Captain Charisma. After a few seconds pass, Bea then cracks open one eye, trying to see if her words got through to Captain Charisma at all, but they haven’t. The Voltage Commissioner keeps a straight face through it all, unmoved.)
Captain Charisma: Bea, I’m not going to suspend Diamond Dixon.
(The crowd cheers.)
Captain Charisma: If you ask me, she’s done nothing. Meanwhile, you’ve been sticking your nose where it doesn’t belong in the Specialists Title picture.
Bea Valentine: But-
Captain Charisma: I’m not finished. You’ve also been aiding Ashlynn Quinn in her matches, AND you shoved Tyrone Montgomery into Diamond Dixon, which kicked this whole thing off. So, if you’re looking for someone to blame… perhaps you should look in the mirror to see why this match with Diamond Dixon is happening. 🤷♂️
(Panic starts to form on Bea’s face.)
Bea Valentine: C-C-Captain Charisma, sir, I’m afraid you don’t have the full story. See, Diamond Dixon’s been the one sticking her nose where it doesn’t belong. Not me! I’ve been trying to save Gloria from her captor, Kasai, and Ms. Ashlynn Quinn is the PERFECT candidate to do so, seeing that I’m way past being the Specialists Champion and am ready to enter the next level. I’m ready to become the Universal Women’s Champion. Can you picture it?
(Bea looks out into the “stars,” and Captain Charisma does the same briefly before turning his attention over to Bea.)
Captain Charisma: Yes. Yes, I can picture it. I can see you becoming the Universal Women’s Champion because you’re a talented person, Bea. You’re talented enough to defeat Diamond Dixon at Bloodsport, yet you’d rather avoid her. Why? It’s like you said. You’re the former Specialists Champion out of the two of you. You’re the one who’s been competing at a high level consistently. Meanwhile, Diamond Dixon has been busy playing assistant to Tyrone Montgomery over on Dynasty. Think about it. Who’s got the advantage here? Her or you?
(Captain Charisma’s hoping that was enough to convince Bea Valentine, who mulls it over before blurting out-)
Bea Valentine: Alright, fine! I’ll do it.
(A smile forms on Captain Charisma’s face, believing he got through to Bea Valentine.)
Captain Charisma: You’ll spin the wheel?
Bea Valentine: What? No! I’ll face Diamond Dixon at Bloodsport.
(Immediately, Captain Charisma’s smile fades away.)
Captain Charisma: Yeah… I kinda thought that was already agreed upon.
Bea Valentine: By you and her? Sure. But by me? No. Now, I’m officially ready to wipe the floor with that royal pain in my buttocks.
Captain Charisma: Great… but you still have to spin the wheel.
Bea Valentine: I do not! Can’t I just face Diamond Dixon in a regular singles match instead?
Captain Charisma: Sure! …if it wasn’t Bloodsport. Unfortunately, it is. So, you kinda have no choice.
(Bea sighs.)
Bea Valentine: I’m sorry, commissioner, but I can’t bring myself to do that. Not after seeing the stipulations, Ashlynn works with. I refuse to compete in any one of these barbaric matches, and I DEMAND you make my match with Diamond Dixon a regular singles instead!
(Captain Charisma rubs his forehead, having lost all patience with Bea Valentine.)
Captain Charisma: First of all, no one comes into my office and demands anything. Second, I had a feeling you’d be like this, so you’re not the only person I called in. Diamond Dixon should be on her way right no-
(A knock is heard at the door, and Captain Charisma forms a smug smirk at Bea Valentine, who starts to grow anxious.)
Captain Charisma: There she is. Come in!
(The door can be heard opening off-screen, and Diamond Dixon enters the frame to a huge ovation from fans. Diamond gives a nod to Captain Charisma.)
Diamond Dixon: Captain… Bea.
(Diamond turns toward Bea Valentine, staring a hole into her as Bea Valentine looks back with disgust, both women standing on either side of the wheel.)
Diamond Dixon: I hear that you’re too afraid to pick a stipulation, so of course, the Captain called me in because he knows that Diamond Dixon isn’t afraid of anything. Unlike you, who is too afraid to face the consequences of your actions, what? You thought that shit was gonna be sweet after what you pulled? Nah, at Bloodsport, I’m gon’ kick yo ass, and that’s for certain. The only thing that isn’t is the stipulation I’ll be doing it under, so let’s find that out together, shall we?
(Diamond Dixon takes a spin of the wheel and watches with a smile on her face as it goes round and round. Meanwhile, Bea Valentine is biting her nails, worried about what match the wheel is going to land on. Eventually, the wheel comes to a stop, and the match turns out to be…)
Captain Charisma: Well, there you have it. At Bloodsport, it’ll be Diamond Dixon versus Bea Valentine… IN A FANS BRING WEAPONS MATCH!
(Both Diamond Dixon and Captain Charisma are pretty happy with the result, along with the fans in attendance, but Bea Valentine isn’t and doesn’t have a problem speaking her mind.)
Bea Valentine: What?! Fans bring weapons?! This has to be some sort of joke! You can’t seriously be putting me in that match.
Captain Charisma: I’m sorry, Bea, but I can, and I will. Your match with Diamond Dixon is official. So, instead of whining about it, I’d worry about preparing for it instead. Scratch that. I’d worry about winning these fans over as well because they aren’t too happy with you as of late.
(Captain Charisma maintains the amused smirk on his face, and Bea picks up on this, stomping her foot down in anger.)
Bea Valentine: What?! Do you think this is funny??? At Bloodsport, I could be seriously injured, maimed, or worse!
Captain Charisma: …🤷♂️
(Bea Valentine is in disbelief and can be seen muttering to herself.)
Bea Valentine: This can’t be happening… no, wake up, Bea… wake up…
Diamond Dixon: Oh, it’s happening.
(Bea snaps out of it as she looks up, visibly intimidated by the much larger Diamond Dixon, who closes in, standing face-to-face with Valentine.)
Diamond Dixon: At Bloodsport, you’ll have nowhere to run and nowhere to hide. It’s just me and you, and I promise you’re going to get everything that you deserve.
Bea Valentine: I… I have to go prepare for my match later!
(Bea cautiously slips past Diamond Dixon and storms out of the office, upset with not getting her way at all. Meanwhile, Captain Charisma and Diamond Dixon watch on as she leaves.)
Captain Charisma: She’ll be fine.
Diamond Dixon: Not after Bloodsport, she won’t.
Charisma Captain: Speaking of, good luck, by the way.
(Captain Charisma extends his hand, and Diamond Dixon proceeds to shake it shortly after.)
Diamond Dixon: Thanks… but I don’t need luck.
(Diamond Dixon flicks her hair and struts out of the room to a positive reaction from fans while Captain Charisma watches her leave with a smile.)
Captain Charisma: This should be good.
(Captain Charisma walks back over behind his desk and takes a seat, resuming the work he was doing on his laptop before when Bea walked in as the camera fades elsewhere.)
(Promotional ad for Bloodsport, where Jake Smith defends the EAW World Championship against Limmy Monaghan and Methuselah in Barbed Wire Massacre X.)
(Voltage returns to ringside.)
Bella Braxton: The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
(‘Psycho’ by That’s Outrageous! Hits the speakers of the arena to a reaction of boos, as Ahren Fournier would make his way down the ramp, followed by the competitor of the match, Effy McAvoy, who would make her way through the crowd, hopping the barricade and making her way into the ring.)
Bella Braxton: Introducing first! From Watch Hil, Rhode Island, weighing in tonight at 125 pounds, she is THE ‘OMEN!!!!!!!!!’ EFFYYYYYYYYY MCAVOYYYYYYYYY!
(After that, ‘Ten Ton Hammer’ by Machine Head would hit, as the crowd would erupt into an even louder frenzy of boos than before, as Halsey Neel was out next onto the stage. She was confident and focused tonight, with a slight smirk on her face from earlier events in the night, as she would make her way to the ring.)
Bella Braxton: And her opponent! From Birmingham, England, weighing in tonight at 159 pounds, she is THE ‘RIPPER!!!!!!!’ HALSEYYYYYYYYYYY NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEL!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Rich Russillo: Here we go! This match is now official, earlier in the night we all saw the Lt. Colonel call out The British Invasion which led to a massive fight breaking out and the British standing tall, following closely behind Pandora Paisley getting a victory over Zane Grae due to distraction and interference by both Halsey and Daryl, and now it’s Effy McAvoy and Halsey Neel here tonight- AND EFFY IS WASTING NO TIME!
James Peters: EFFY IS NOT HAPPY AT ALL, AND SHE RUSHES IN AND OVERWHELMS HALSEY INSTANTLY WITH LEFTS AND RIGHTS, SCRATCHING AND CLAWING AT THE RIPPER! The referee is trying to get her off of Halsey so that this match goes more smoothly but I don’t think Effy cares about things “going smoothly,” she wants to get her hands on any and all members of The British Invasion, and that is what she’s getting!
Persephone: This woman is crazy. Halsey Neel is going to push Effy off of her, but Effy rolls through the mat and back up to her feet, before running back in and dropkicking Halsey right in the face and that takes her down, allowing Effy to continue her onslaught even further, as long as it means that this match comes to an end quicker, I am okay with this pacing.
Rich Russillo: Effy’s anger and frustration, combined with the paranoia and delusion can’t be contained here tonight and Halsey is finding that out first hand as Effy picks her back to her feet, irish whipping her off into the ropes as Effy bends over, AND A KICK TO THE FACE OF EFFY BY HALSEY… BUT EFFY COMPLETELY ATE THAT KICK, AND HALSEY DOESN’T KNOW WHAT HAD JUST HAPPENED, AND EFFY TAKES HER OFF HER FEET WITH A SLAP!
James Peters: And Effy McAvoy is going to yank Neel back up to her feet, looking to take advantage of the situation that she has for herself right now, but Halsey grabs her by her attire, AND SHE FORCES HER THROAT FIRST INTO THE MIDDLE ROPE AND DOWN GOES EFFY! And now Halsey Neel has taken control of this match, and she begins laying waste to McAvoy!
Rich Russillo: Halsey picks Effy back to her feet by the hair and drags her away from the ropes, as she TAKES HER DOWN WITH THAT SHORT DISTANCED CLOTHESLINE! Down goes Effy and Halsey jumps into the air to follow up with the clothesline, sending her knee into Effy’s chest completely!
James Peters: Halsey Neel has managed to slow down and calm the storm of the woman who calls herself ‘The Omen,’ as Halsey is now going to drop down to where Effy is on the mat, and hook her by the head, applying a side headlock to keep her down and grounded on the mat.
Persephone: Of course whenever I say something it ends up going to shit. Now this match isn’t going to end for another twenty or so minutes. Sometimes it’s hard to do your job when the whole world is against you.
Rich Russillo: Well you’re just going to have to deal with that, Seph. We have two world-class Elitists battling it out here tonight on Voltage, which the same can be said for literally any other match that takes place on this brand. Halsey Neel knows what she needs to do to slow Effy down and make sure that she is neutralised.
James Peters: Which is exactly what The Ripper is doing here right now, bringing Effy to the centre of the ring, throwing her over and into a snapmare and forcing Effy up into a seated position, AND SHE SWINGS HER FOOT FOR THE FENCES AND INTO A ROUNDHOUSE KICK BY NEEL! EFFY IS DOWN! COVER!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Persephone: But of course, a kick out by Effy McAvoy is going to keep this match going on longer, even though that is the one thing that we do not WANT, nor do we NEED.
Rich Russillo: You don’t speak for everybody, Seph. Halsey has taken control of this match and has calmed down the storm that was coming at her at a fast and harsh rate at the beginning of this match and now Neel is going to take advantage of the opening that she had created for herself.
James Peters: Halsey is going to bring Effy back up to her feet, forcing her back into the corner as Effy tries to fight out of it, BUT A MASSIVE FOREARM COMPLETELY STOPS HER ATTEMPTS! That leaves McAvoy dazed and confused, and Halsey then follows it up with a kick to the gut, forcing Effy to double over, only for Halsey to stand her back up, AND A KNIFE EDGE CHOP!
Rich Russillo: You could hear that chop echo throughout the entire arena followed by that piercing scream coming from McAvoy as she just had her shit rocked by Halsey, as Neel is now going to bring her out of the corner by the wrist, before irish whipping her off and into the ropes, AND SHE TAKES EFFY DOWN WITH A BACK ELBOW TO THE FACE AS SHE COMES BOUNCING OFF OF THEM! HALSEY INTO ANOTHER COVER!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
James Peters: And another kick out from Effy keeps her chances amongst this match alive! Could early frustration be setting in for Halsey Neel here? You can tell by the look of her face that she wants to make sure to end this match as quickly as possible and make quick and light work of Effy McAvoy, but she hasn’t been able to do that just yet.
Persephone: What did she expect? The emo girl came bolting in at the start of this match with a burst of energy and giving her hell, and all she could respond with when she got control was a resthold. These British people really are dumber than they look, huh?
Rich Russillo: Well I wouldn’t say that Seph, but the frustration sure isn’t something to really beat yourself up over in the case of Halsey Neel who doesn’t look all that pleased. But nonetheless, she understands she is in control of this match right now, as she is going to pick Effy back up to her feet, slapping her right in the face, payback from earlier!
James Peters: And that forces Effy to stumble away, and fall through the middle rope and tumble to the ringside floor! Maybe that could be good strats from Effy however, to get far away from her opponent so that she can get some space to recover, but Halsey isn’t going to allow that, as she looks to follow suit- WAIT! EFFY GRABS HALSEY BY THE LEG, PULLING HER OUT ONTO THE APRON…!
Rich Russillo: AND A DRAGON SCREW BY EFFY MCAVOY ON THE OUTSIDE SENDS HALSEY CRASHING BACK AND HEAD FIRST INTO THE APRON! That had to hurt! Halsey screams out in pain and just like that, Effy has found herself in perfect position and has gotten herself the opening she needed!
James Peters: And Effy KNOWS to take advantage of it, yanking Halsey off of the apron by the hair, BEFORE SHE SENDS HER FULL SPEED AHEAD INTO THE BARRICADE, AS HALSEY GOES SPINE FIRST! Effy stumbles away as Halsey was hurting badly, trying her hardest to recover and get away, using the barricade to get back to her feet… BUT EFFY COMES BOLTING AT HER, SPRINGING OFF THE STEPS WITH A MASSIVE FOREARM ACROSS THE JAW!
Persephone: And just like that, Halsey Neel had once again gotten far too cocky for her own good and that had completely taken away her momentum that she had going for herself. Classic.
Rich Russillo: Effy knows the position she has Halsey in right now, as she throws her back into the ring, before getting up onto the apron and climbing to the top rope, as Halsey slowly gets back up… MISSILE DROPKICK BY MCAVOY TAKES HALSEY DOWN, AND SHE SCRAMBLES INTO THE COVER!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
James Peters: KICK OUT BY HALSEY NEEL AT THE COUNT OF TWO! Halsey manages to force herself out of the cover and keep herself alive in this match in spite of the impact that had taken her down from the missile dropkick by Effy McAvoy, and now Effy needs to figure out what she could do next to continue her advantage she has over The Ripper.
Rich Russillo: Ahren Fournier was cheering Effy on on the outside of the ring, and I think that was exactly the motivation that McAvoy needed right now, the motivation of pleasing her muse, as she gets back to her feet, grabbing Halsey by the hair, getting her back to her feet, AS EFFY CONNECTS WITH A SPINNING SIDE KICK!
James Peters: That catches Halsey right in the gut, forcing her to stumble back into the corner as Effy looks over at Ahren with a smile on her face, running across the ring and focusing her attention back to Halsey, AS SHE RUNS IN AND SHOOTS FORWARD FOR A MASSIVE JUMPING CLOTHESLINE- BUT HALSEY CATCHES HER OUT OF THE CORNER AND PLANTS HER WITH A MASSIVE URANAGE!
Halsey Neel: (off-mic) SIT YOUR ASS DOWN.
Persephone: Well damn, even I have to admit, that was pretty tough. Too bad she isn’t going to capitalise off of it like she should be doing right now instead of trying to talk all this shit.
Rich Russillo: Halsey has Effy where she wants her right now, as she is going to grab her by the hair, dragging her to the centre of the ring, and jumps into the air, dropping a boot down onto the face of Effy, causing her to roll around in agony.
James Peters: Halsey had single handedly fixed the mistake that she had made a couple of short moments ago in this match, and has taken the control back over Effy McAvoy, who had gotten far too overzealous trying to please the man standing at ringside right now.
Rich Russillo: And Halsey is going to yank Effy back up to her feet by the wrist, before reeling her in, LIFTING HER INTO THE AIR AND DROPPING HER WITH A TILT-A-WHIRL BACKBREAKER! DID YOU SEE THE WAY THAT EFFY’S BACK JUST BENT OVER HALSEY’S KNEE?! HALSEY DROPS EFFY TO THE GROUND AND SHE HOOKS THE LEG, LOOKING FOR VICTORY!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
James Peters: BUT A KICK OUT AT TWO ONCE AGAIN KEEPS THIS MATCH ALIVE FOR EFFY! She is still fighting despite the pain that she has put through in the early goings of this match, and it seems like every kick out that Effy manages to push through, it only frustrates Halsey Neel even more as- WAIT!
Persephone: EFFY JUST GRABBED HALSEY BY THE HAIR AND ROLLS HER UP! YES! END THIS! RIGHT NOW!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Rich Russillo: BUT HALSEY NEEL KICKS OUT AGAIN! Both women pop right back up to their feet and Effy swings at Halsey- ducked! Halsey looks to swing at Effy- ducked! Effy goes for a roundhouse kick, sidestepped by Halsey, who runs in for a clothesline, but Effy goes behind, AND SHE CAPTURES HALSEY INTO A BACKSLIDE PIN!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
James Peters: Halsey Neel kicks out again and this time around she manages to get back to her feet first as Effy meets her up, AND HALSEY POPS HER WITH A RIGHT HAND ON THE JAW! Effy stumbles back… but looks to fire back…! BUT CAN’T AS HALSEY CATCHES HER WITH A HIGH KNEE… ONLY FOR EFFY TO TURN AROUND AND STAY ON HER FEET FOR A PELE KICK TO THE RIPPER!
Persephone: Halsey Neel falls onto her ass, and this is Effy’s chance to make good use of the opening that she had created for herself once more in this match, and you know, ACTUALLY FINISH HER OFF! GO ON ALREADY!
Rich Russillo: I think that is exactly what McAvoy is looking to do Seph, as she brings Halsey back up to her feet, reeling her into a ripcord position, BEFORE SPINNING HER INSIDE AND INTO A KNEE STRIKE! ‘THE CLIMAX’ CONNECTS AND HALSEY CRUMBLES TO THE MAT AS EFFY FALLS WITH HER, HER ARM FALLING ONTO THE RIPPER FOR ANOTHER COVER!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
James Peters: BUT HALSEY GETS THE SHOULDER UP ON TIME! HALSEY BARELY MANAGES TO SURVIVE ONE OF EFFY’S BEST MOVES! Effy does not look happy whatsoever, thinking that she had this match won with the sudden connection of ‘The Climax,’ but it wasn’t enough to put away one third of The British Invasion!
Rich Russillo: And you can tell that Effy is not happy, and she begins pounding the mat in frustration, but do you hear Ahren on the outside? He is trying o calm her down through his words and keep her on track!
Ahren Fournier: (off-mic) Don’t let anger and frustration get the best of you now! You have her exactly where you want her! Do what you need to do and finish her off! Bring it home!
Persephone: I agree with this guy. FINISH HER OFF SO THAT WE CAN ALL GET CLOSER TO FINALLY GOING HOME!
James Peters: I think those words of motivation has gotten to Effy, who nods her head with a smile as she brings herself back up to her feet, backing into the corner as Halsey Neel starts to get up on all fours… AND EFFY IS LOOKING TO FINISH THIS MATCH!
Rich Russillo: EFFY COMES BOLTING INTO THE CENTRE OF THE RING FULL SPEED AHEAD FOR THE ‘STORYBOOK ENDING’ CURB STOMP…! BUT IT’S NOT MEANT TO BE AS HALSEY MOVES OUT OF HARM’S WAY! HALSEY MOVE OUT OF THE WAY, AND SHE WRAPS HER ARMS AROUND EFFY’S WAIST, PUSHING HER CHEST FIRST INTO THE TURNBUCKLES!
James Peters: And that completely catches Effy off guard and forces her into a world of hurt THAT HALSEY LOOKS TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF AS SHE PULLS EFFY DOWN INTO THE MAT AND OVER INTO A ROLLUP!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Persephone: But she kicks out once again! Shocker, am I right?! Do either of these two know that they need to actually hit each other as hard as they can in order to pick up a victory?!-
Rich Russillo: WELL SEPH, THEY SHOOT RIGHT BACK UP TO THEIR FEET, AND HALSEY DAMN NEAR TURNED EFFY’S LIGHTS OFF WITH THAT MASSIVE HEADBUTT! Now THAT is hitting hard, as Effy folds like a lifeless woman after the impact of that headbutt made contact!
Persephone: Not hard enough.
James Peters: But it might have been, as Halsey is going to drag Effy to the centre of the ring, and she is going to hold her down, AND SHE BEGINS TO STOMP MCAVOY OUT, WITH NO REMORSE BEING SHOWN BY HER AT ALL! EFFY HAS NO WAY OF PROTECTING HERSELF! And Halsey is going to drag Effy back up to her feet, lifting her onto her shoulders!
Rich Russillo: And Halsey has Effy exactly where she wants her, THROWING HER UP INTO THE AIR BEFORE CATCHING HER WITH THAT NASTY ROUNDHOUSE KICK! THE FIREMAN’S CARRY ROUNDHOUSE; ‘BLOOD ON THE LEAVES’ TURNS EFFY INSIDE OUT, AND THAT MIGHT BE IT! HALSEY INTO THE COVER!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
James Peters: BUT EFFY THROWS HER SHOULDER UP AT THE COUNT OF TWO, BARELY KEEPING THIS MATCH ALIVE! SHE BARELY SAVED HERSELF! Halsey Neel could have won this match right then and there but it just wasn’t enough, and Effy is still breathing and moving in this back and forth match!
Rich Russillo: I think Halsey is far beyond the point of just being “frustrated” at this point, and she is straight up pissed off at the fact that Effy is still somehow, someway, fighting in this match despite everything that she has been put through! Halsey is going back into the corner, taking a deep breath in, waiting for Effy to get back to her feet…
Persephone: Wait, what the hell is this man doing?!
James Peters: Ahren Fournier is shouting at Halsey Neel! Halsey turns her attention over to him, looking at him with a sheer look of disgust… AND THAT GIVES EFFY THE CHANCE TO RECOVER AS SHE SPRINGS TO HER FEET, AND KNOCKS HALSEY OUT COLD WITH A HELLUVA OF A BIG BOOT IN THE CORNER! HALSEY GOES DOWN! EFFY HAS THIS WON-
(Suddenly, the crowd would begin to boo. Loudly. The loudest that they have all night, as Effy turned her attention to the ramp, and all she could do was let out a brutal sigh.)
Rich Russillo: OH COME ON, WE’RE SERIOUSLY DOING THIS AGAIN?! IT’S THE BRITISH INVASION ONCE MORE, AND TO BE HONEST, WE HAVE ALREADY SEEN THEM ENOUGH AS IT IS TONIGHT ON VOLTAGE GETTING INVOLVED IN MATCHES AND LEAVING PEOPLE LAID OUT! THIS JUST ISN’T FAIR!
James Peters: And much like it was Halsey and Daryl earlier, this time around it’s Pandora and Daryl coming to the aid of Halsey… and they’re turning their focus to Ahren, much like they did with Travanna earlier in the night! Effy is seething, and it looks like she might take care of them herself-
Persephone: WHAT THE HELL?!
Rich Russillo: WHERE DID- ZANE GRAE JUST APPEARED FROM BEHIND US, JUMPING THE BARRICADE AND ONTO OUR TABLE AS HE TAKES DOWN PANDORA AND DARYL, AND HE BEGINS TO GIVE IT TO THEM WHILE HALSEY COMES FROM BEHIND, RISING BACK TO HER FEET AND THROWING EFFY TO THE SIDE!
James Peters: AND LOOK AT THE FACE OF NEEL; THAT IS THE FACE OF SOMEONE WHOSE PLAN HAS GONE TO COMPLETE SHIT! AND EFFY MCAVOY RISES BACK TO HER FEET WITH A LOOK OF SHEER ANGER ON HER FACE, ZANE IS TAKING CARE OF PANDORA AND DARYL, AND HALSEY TURNS AROUND…
Rich Russillo: AND EFFY COMES RUNNING OFF THE ROPES AND TAKING HALSEY’S HEAD OFF OF HER BODY WITH ‘PROTECT YA NECK!!!’ THE CLOTHESLINE FROM HELL CONNECTS, AND EFFY SCRAMBLES OVER AND INTO THE COVER!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Bella Braxton: HERE IS YOUR WINNER! EFFYYYYYYYYY MCAVOYYYYYYYYY!
Persephone: YES! IT’S OVER-
Rich Russillo: IT MIGHT BE OVER, BUT THE BRAWL ISN’T, AS EFFY WASTES NO TIME ROLLING OUT OF THE RING, AND SHE JOINS ZANE GRAE IN HELPING WITH THE ASSAULT AND BRAWL BETWEEN DARYL KINKADE AND PANDORA PAISLEY!
James Peters: This looks like an all out war right now! And they are going to spill into the ring as all factors follow suit, and this brawl continues on, with Halsey Neel recovering back to her feet… BUT THAT MEANT THAT THE BRITISH INVASION ONCE AGAIN HAD THE NUMBER’S GAME!
Rich Russillo: HALSEY AND PANDORA MANAGE TO TAKE EFFY DOWN AS ZANE IS BEING HANDLED BY DARYL KINKADE AND- WAIT! WAIT! HE’S BACK!
James Peters: AND HE’S BACK FOR A FIGHT! THE COLONEL IS HERE! MICHAEL SCOTT CONNOR BOLTS INTO THE RING AND HE TAKES DOWN DARYL KINKADE! MICHAEL WAS TAKEN OUT BY THE BRITISH INVASION EARLIER TONIGHT AND HE’S GETTING HIS PAYBACK!
Rich Russillo: HALSEY TRIES TO PULL THE COLONEL OFF DARYL, BUT HE CLOTHESLINES HER OUT OF THE RING! PANDORA LOOKS TO ATTACK, BUT HE DUCKS UNDER AND SENDS PANDORA THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE, AND DARYL IS GOING TO RETREAT AS WELL!
James Peters: ZANE GRAE AND EFFY MCAVOY HELP EACH OTHER BACK TO THEIR FEET, AND THE BRITISH INVASION WAS OUTPLAYED TONIGHT!
(The final image shows The British Invasion backpedaling up the ramp, seething at what had just transpired. Effy looks paranoid and angered, Zane has a smirk on his face, while the Colonel was the most emotional out of them all. Voltage would then fade away from ringside.)
( Sunday Night Voltage continues as we still have two big matches left on tonight’s show with Candice Blair battling against Methuselah, and our main event tag team match as Limmy Monaghan and Adam Lucas team up to face off against Michael Machina & Bea Valentine. The action tonight has been quite stellar with the stipulations for the Specialists Championship match being decided and the matchup between Bea Valentine and Diamond Dixon. We transition to our Voltage commentary team as they begin to explain what is next here on Sunday Night Voltage. )
Rich Russillo: It’s been a great show here tonight in Denver, the action has been great and with Bloodsport happening in two weeks, It will for sure be a night full of violence with several match stipulations already being decided for the event. As we get closer to Bloodsport, I understand that Captain Charisma is backstage and will be telling us some details about the Tag Team Turmoil Tournament that he announced on the first Voltage of the season! Are you looking forward to learning a bit more about the tournament, James?
James Peters: Oh for sure, Rich. A tournament like this is extremely exciting. I’m already pumped up for Bloodsport and the matches we have for that. I mean Limmy vs Jake vs. Methuselah? Michael Machina vs. Ms. Extreme? Any fan would be ecstatic for what’s to come, and now we have a huge tournament coming up to look forward to as well! If it’s anything like the last Tag Team Turmoil, sign me up. I’m ready to see what’s in store for this tournament for a shot at those Unified Tag Team Championships!
Persephone: Uggghhhh… Who the fuck cares! It’s all pointless anyways, whoever wins is gonna hate each other by the end of the tournament anyways. This is all so dumb, This is all stupid.
James Peters: Man, you need to lighten up Persephone seriously. Captain Charisma is about to share some more details about this tournament and you’re saying you’re not even at least a little excited for this?
Rich Russillo: Let’s bring it backstage to Captain Charisma as he gives us more details about the impending Tag Team Turmoil tournament.
( The segment fades backstage to Captain Charisma! He’s standing outside his own office as he’s wearing the same dapper suit he was wearing earlier in the night. He gives a slight nod to the camera before he begins to speaking to the fans in Denver and everyone watching around the world for Sunday Night Voltage. )
Captain Charisma: Voltage has always been an innovative brand, ensuring we bring the best product to those people that tune in every week to watch the Elitists of this brand be the best wrestlers on the planet. Today I’ll be sharing some details of an innovative tournament that has been previously established here on Voltage, a tournament that I announced on the first Voltage of the new season, and that is of course The Tag Team Turmoil tournament! This tournament has a history that I’m sure long time fans are all familiar with, as this isn’t the first time this tournament has taken place! For any new viewers that aren’t familiar, the last time this Tag Team Turmoil tournament occurred was back in 2021! There we saw a number of unique team ups with the randomized teams, with not all partnerships having the same chemistry as others. At the end of it all, the team who emerged as the winners, as the victors of the tournament were Jake Smith & Chris Elite, better now known as the Haircare Kings as they defeated Drake King & Ms. Extreme in the finals of that tournament. From there, they would go on to become the new EAW Unified Tag Team Champions, dethroning Xavier Williams and Harlow Reichert at the end of the year!
( Captain Charisma stops for a moment, and there’s a mixed reaction. While the fans cheer the newly returned Chris Elite, they’ve grown to hate Jake Smith. Before long Captain Charisma continues talking towards the camera, going into further detail about the Haircare Kings and the tournament as a whole… )
Captain Charisma: Jake Smith and Chris Elite winning the tag team tournament was something I’m sure neither men had on their bingo card for season 15, but when it was all said and done they managed to not only win the tournament but become Tag Team Champions as well. Going from a team of men that didn’t even like each other to fantastic Champions is huge, and it’s something that should be respected. That type of opportunity can be exciting for any elitist even if the person they find themselves teaming up with may not be someone they particularly know or like. That’s the beauty of this tournament. In 2021 that unlikely duo went to have a very good reign with the Unified Tag Team Championships, and in 2024 a new unlikely duo can do the same thing. This type of success can possibly happen to whoever wins this year’s Tag Team Turmoil tournament very soon.
( Captain Charisma takes a moment to collect himself before he continues to speak.)
Captain Charisma: Bloodsport is the first marquee event of the season for Voltage, and I want this to be the greatest event possible. We have some incredible matches being formed, but I’d also like to do my part and give you all some information on what’s to come after it. That is why I’d like to say that at Bloodsport, I will be announcing the participants and the teams that will be competing in this Tag Team Turmoil tournament. After that, the Tournament will officially kick off on the following Voltage. There likely will be Elitists that do not like each other, and there may be teams that have no problem working with each other. It’s all randomized, a luck of the draw of who’s paired with who and that for me is an exciting aspect of this tournament, one that I know old and new viewers of this show will be looking forward to. No matter who you team up with, this is an opportunity that I know none of you will pass up.
( The fans cheer, and after a moment Captain Charisma continues to speak on the Tag Team Turmoil tournament. )
Captain Charisma: I should also mention that while we will be on the road to Territorial Invasion after Bloodsport, with matches such as War Games to look forward to, the next marquee event for Voltage will be Wicked Games, and at Wicked Games we will see the winners of this Tag Team Turmoil Tournament face the Unified Tag Team Champions! Whether it be the Jaded Hearts, Usagi Senshi & Saori Aizen or any other team that may find their way to the titles before Wicked Game, they’ll be putting their Championships on the line against the winners of this Tag Team Turmoil Tournament. It will be exciting to see the Tag Champs battling against a team of two Elitists who may not have even considered teaming up. We might just see a very surprising set of new Unified Tag Team Champions once it’s all said and done.
( Captain Charisma adjusted his suit a little bit as you can hear the crowd cheer for the announcement that the winners of the Tag Team Turmoil tournament will face the Unified Tag Team Champions at Wicked Games. Captain Charisma gives a quick smirk once again as he continues speaking… )
Captain Charisma: Any two Elitists could find themselves in the spot that Jake Smith and Chris Elite, two Hall of Famers, did back in 2021. Any two members of this roster could go on to become the Unified Tag Team Champions. We may have newcomers teaming with veterans. Enemies teaming up, and hell if they’re lucky enough we may even see some friends stand on the same side. Either way it will be exciting for Voltage seeing the opportunity that awaits for whoever ends up on the other side of this tournament as the victors. Enjoy the rest of the show, as we inch closer and closer to Bloodsport, Territorial Invasion, and of course, Wicked Games… Thank you.
( Captain Charisma gives a nod to the camera as he turns back and enters back into his office as we transition back to the Commentary booth to hear the live reactions from Rich, James and Persephone. )
Rich Russillo: Oh wow. At Bloodsport we’ll be hearing what the teams are for the Tag Team Turmoil tournament, which makes Bloodsport an even more must-see event for everyone watching at home. Should be very exciting as Captain Charisma mentioned.
James Peters: Absolutely Rich, on top of that whoever manages to win this tournament will go on to Wicked Games and challenge for the EAW Unified Tag Team Champions. A major opportunity for anybody on this brand, this season is going to be the one so far I can feel it!
Persephone: You are so corny James seriously, we’re gonna have to see the most braindead tag teams ever in a stupid tournament. None of them will even have a chance against whoever the Tag Champs are gonna be at Wicked Games. Like do you actually believe whoever gets lucky enough to win this is gonna somehow become the Tag Champs too?
James Peters: We did see the Haircare Kings win the last tournament, and they became Tag Team Champions. If you stopped being so negative you would realize that whoever wins could end up leaving Wicked Games as Champions after all.
Persephone: Blah! Blah! Blah! Yeah okay.
( The camera pans away from the commentary table, and Sunday Night Voltage fades to a commercial ad.)
(Promotional ad for the upcoming Tag Team Turmoil Tournament, beginning following Bloodsport.)
(Voltage returns to ringside.)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen… The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!!!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!!
(‘Rhapsody in Pink’ by Stela Cole hits, and the fans cheer as Princess Candice Blair begins walking out to the stage. Candice looks very focused heading into this match, knowing that this will be one of her toughest matches yet. Candice doesn’t spend too much time on the stage, making her way to the ring with a confident look as she appears ready for this.)
Bella Braxton: Introducing first!… Residing in Malibu, California… Weighing in at 130 pounds… SHE IS PRINCESS CAAANDDIIIICCCEE BLAAAAAIIIIIIRRRRRRRR!!!!!!
James Peters: Candice Blair is out here, and head of her big fatal four way at Bloodsport she has one hell of a match ahead of herself, doesn’t she?
Rich Russillo: That’s right. Candice has Methuselah on her hands, and to say that this will be a challenge is an understatement. However, this also means she could potentially pick up her biggest win yet.
Persephone: Do you really think she can win? She’d be lucky if this lasts more than two minutes, and I’d be annoyed.
(‘Praise Gawd’ by Kanye West follows this, and the fans begin to loudly boo as Methuselah slowly walks out. Candice stares towards the stage, focused as Methuselah calmly makes his way to the stage. Methuselah looks towards Candice inside of the ring, before stepping through the smoke and beginning to make his way down the ramp.)
Bella Braxton: And her opponent!… From The Ether… Weighing in at 17 stone…………. MEEEEEEEETTTHHHHHHHUUUUUSSSSEEELLLLAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
James Peters: Here comes the man who might just be the EAW World Champion soon, Methuselah. I don’t think he plans to take this match easy, so this could be a tough one.
Rich Russillo: I don’t think Methuselah is necessarily pleased after these last few weeks either. However, there’s no telling what might happen here.
Persephone: I don’t care what happens, as long as they speed it up.
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
James Peters: AND HERE WE GO! THIS MATCH IS UNDERWAY- AND IMMEDIATELY CANDICE RUSHES IN, TAKING THE FIGHT TO METHUSELAH! CANDICE WITH FOREARM AFTER FOREARM, LOOKING TO STRIKE BEFORE METHUSELAH COULD DO ANY DAMAGE HIMSELF! CANDICE THROWING STRIKE AFTER STRIKE AS METHUSELAH IS BACKED INTO THE ROPES- AND METHUSELAH JUST SWUNG AT CANDICE, BUT CANDICE WAS ABLE TO DUCK UNDER IT BEFORE CONNECTING WITH AN UPPERCUT! CANDICE NOW RUNNING THE ROPES AS METHUSELAH STUMBLES OUT OF THE CORNER, AND SHE DELIVERS A RUNNING ELBOW STRIKE! CANDICE RUNS THE ROPES ONCE AGAIN, AND THERE’S A SECOND ONE! CANDICE NOW SENDING METHUSELAH INTO THE CORNER, AND SHE RUNS IN!
Rich Russillo: RUNNING DROPKICK BY CANDICE BLAIR! METHUSELAH REMAINS IN THE CORNER, AND NOW CANDICE RUSHES INTO THE OPPOSITE CORNER BEFORE RUNNING IN AND CONNECTING WITH A SECOND DROPKICK! IT LOOKS LIKE CANDICE’S STRATEGY OF GOING RIGHT ON THE OFFENSIVE MIGHT JUST WORK OUT HERE AS METHUSELAH STUMBLES OUT OF THE CORNER! CANDICE RUNS THE ROPES AND DUCKS UNDER A SWING FROM METHUSELAH BEFORE BOUNCING OFF THE OPPOSITE PAIR OF ROPES! CANDICE BLAIR NOW WITH A-
Persephone: Nope, there it is. Methuselah just hit a big boot. You think Candice is done yet?
James Peters: Oh no! Methuselah drops Candice with the boot, and while it’s way too early to say she’s done, I think Methuselah just got the upper hand with that one! All he needed was an opening, and he got it. Methuselah now grabbing Candice, AND HE JUST BEGINS TO REPEATEDLY SLAM HER FACE DOWN ONTO THE MAT! METHUSELAH REPEATEDLY FORCING CANDICE’S FACE ONTO THE MAT, BEFORE FINALLY HE LIFTS HER UP AND SENDS HER INTO THE CORNER OF THE RING, IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING IT UP BY STOMPING AWAY AT HER! The referee doesn’t even bother counting, not wanting to get on the Chairman’s bad side as he just continues stomping on Candice!
Rich Russillo: Methuselah now dragging Candice out of the corner, before connecting with just a simple suplex! Candice threw everything she could at Methuselah, but now it looks like Methuselah’s just going to slowly pick her apart until there’s nothing left. Methuselah returns to his feet as Candice is on all fours attempting to get back up, AND METHUSELAH JUST PUNT KICKS HER IN THE RIBS, CAUSING HER TO ROLL OUT TO THE APRON! The fans don’t seem too happy about how this match is currently going, but I don’t think there’s much that can be done about it.
James Peters: Candice Blair now pulling herself up on the apron as Methuselah approaches. CANDICE THROWS A FOREARM TO PUSH HIM AWAY- BUT METHUSELAH CATCHES THE ARM BEFORE DELIVERING A HEADBUTT! METHUSELAH NOW PULLING CANDICE’S HEAD THROUGH THE ROPES, BEFORE DELIVERING A ROPE HUNG DDT! Candice is down, and this pace has slowed down heavily as Methuselah hasn’t even gone for a cover yet. Methuselah knows he is in firm control, and he’s taking this slow, all while making sure Candice isn’t able to find her way back into this.
Rich Russillo: Methuselah now dragging Candice up into a front facelock, AND HE JUST BEGINS DROPPING ELBOWS DOWN ONTO THE BACK OF CANDICE’S HEAD! METHUSELAH WITH ELBOW AFTER ELBOW AS CANDICE IS IN SERIOUS TROUBLE RIGHT NOW, AND IF THIS CONTINUES THIS MIGHT BE A SHORTER MATCH THAN EXPECTED! Methuselah continues delivering elbows, until finally he pulls Candice into a double underhook! METHUSELAH CONNECTS WITH METH FX, BUT HE DOESN’T LET GO OR CANDICE! HE ROLLS BACK TO HIS FEET WHILE HOLDING ONTO HER, AND NOW HE GOES FOR THE BUTTERFLY EFFECT-
Persephone: Wow, Candice actually did something.
James Peters: CANDICE WAS ABLE TO SLIP OUT OF METHUSELAH’S GRASP AND LAND ON HER FEET, BEFORE HITTING METHUSELAH WITH A SUPERKICK! METHUSELAH STUMBLES BACK AS CANDICE FALLS INTO THE CORNER OF THE RING, AND NOW METHUSELAH CHARGES IN- BEFORE GETTING CAUGHT WITH A BOOT TO THE FACE! METHUSELAH ONCE AGAIN STUMBLES BACK AS CANDICE PULLS HERSELF UP TO THE MIDDLE ROPE, BEFORE DIVING AT METHUSELAH AND DELIVERING A DIVING DROPKICK! METHUSELAH GOES DOWN, BUT ONLY FOR A BRIEF MOMENT AS BOTH ELITISTS RETURN TO THEIR FEET! Candice notices that he’s getting up though, and is quick to run towards him to capitalize!
Rich Russillo: Candice grabs Methuselah in a front facelock, AND NOW SHE LOOKS FOR STARLIGHT- BUT THE TORNADO DDT DOESN’T CONNECT! JUST AS SHE WAS ABOUT TO CONNECT, METHUSELAH WAS ABLE TO SHOVE HER OFF OF HIM! Candice is quick to get back up and try to get back on the offensive- BUT METHUSELAH SCOOPS HER UP BEFORE PLANTING HER WITH A SCOOP SLAM! Candice is down, and now Methuselah just shakes the head before beginning to run the ropes! METHUSELAH NOW WITH THE TWISTING ELBOW DROP- HEY WAIT A SECOND! IT DIDN’T CONNECT, CANDICE WAS ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE WAY!
James Peters: Candice quickly grabs onto the ropes to pull herself up as Methuselah holds his arm, AND NOW CANDICE DELIVERS A KICK TO METHUSELAH’S BACK! METHUSELAH ROLLS AWAY, BUT BEFORE HE COULD GET BACK TO HIS FEET CANDICE RUNS IN AND DELIVERS A SENTON TO HIS BACK! It looks like Candice’s current strategy is to just keep Methuselah down, and if you ask me that’s a pretty efficient strategy! Candice now stomping away at Methuselah, before grabbing the arm and wrenching on it! Candice pulls Methuselah into a grounded hammerlock- BUT WAIT A SECOND!
Rich Russillo: METHUSELAH IS SLOWLY FINDING HIS WAY OUT OF IT AS HE PUSHES HIMSELF BACK UP, AND NOW HE USES HIS FREE ARM AND ELBOWS CANDICE OFF OF HIM! Candice drops down to a knee, AND NOW AS SOON AS SHE GETS UP SHE’S MET WITH A SPINNING BACK FIST! Candice falls down into the ropes, BUT BEFORE SHE COULD FALL OUT OF THE RING, METHUSELAH GRABS HER BY THE ARM AND PULLS HER INTO A CLOTHESLINE! CANDICE JUST ABOUT HAD HER HEAD TAKEN OFF WITH THAT ONE, AND METHUSELAH SEEMS TO BE RIGHT BACK IN CONTROL OF THIS ONE! THIS IS BAD NEWS FOR THE PRINCESS!
Persephone: But good news for me, as this means there can’t possibly be much more of this.
James Peters: Candice is slowly pulling herself back up, BUT METHUSELAH JUST DELIVERS A KNEE TO THE MIDSECTION, DROPPING CANDICE DOWN TO ALL FOURS! Methuselah now pulling Candice back into the double underhook- BUT CANDICE BEGINS FIGHTING BACK, THROWING PUNCHES TO THE RIBS AS SHE TRIES HER BEST TO STOP METHUSELAH FROM DELIVERING ANOTHER HARD HITTING MOVE- BUT AS SOON AS METHUSELAH LETS GO, HE CONNECTS WITH A STIFF UPPERCUT THAT CAUSES CANDICE TO FALL BACK INTO THE CORNER OF THE RING! That was brutal, that was like a boxer’s punch right there! Methuselah doesn’t look finished, either!
Rich Russillo: METHUSELAH RUNS IN TOWARDS CANDICE AS HE LOOKS FOR RAPTURE- BUT CANDICE GETS OUT OF THE WAY!!! SHE AVOIDS RAPTURE, AND NOW SHE GRABS METHUSELAH BY THE HEAD BEFORE PULLING HIM IN FOR STARLIGHT!!! STARLIGHT CONNECTS ON METHUSELAH, BUT CANDICE DOESN’T GO FOR THE COVER! SHE PULLS HERSELF BACK TO HER FEET AS SHE SEES METHUSELAH ON ALL FOURS, AND HERE WE GO! BIBBIDI-BOBBIDI-BOO!!!! THE BASEMENT DROPKICK CONNECTS ON METHUSELAH FOLLOWING THE TWO FLIPS, AND METHUSELAH MIGHT ACTUALLY BE DOWN!! CANDICE PULLS HERSELF OVER METHUSELAH FOR THE COVER, TO END THIS WITH A SHOCKING WIN!
ONE!
T-
Persephone: But it’s Methuselah we’re talking about, so this isn’t fair. :francis:
James Peters: Methuselah kicks out very early, but it’s clear that he’s definitely taken some heavy damage. Candice just needs to keep going, and it looks like she knows that just as well as we do! Candice is pulling Methuselah up, and it looks like she’s not about to waste any time! She has the end of this match in her sights, AND SHE GOES FOR CASTLES CRUMBLING ON METHUSELAH!
Rich Russillo: SHE DOESN’T GET IT THOUGH! METHUSELAH HOLDS ONTO HER JUST AS SHE JUMPED UP FOR THE FORMER CANDY DESTROYER, AND NOW METHUSELAH PLANTS HER WITH AN ALABAMA SLAM!!! METHUSELAH PUTS HIS SIZE ADVANTAGE TO USE, BUT HE STUMBLES A BIT BEFORE GRABBING THE ROPES, CLEARLY NOT UNPHASED BY THE DAMAGE HE’S TAKEN SO FAR! Candice rolls out of the ring, finally able to get away from Methuselah, but I don’t know.how safe she really is! Candice slowly pushes herself up, AND NOW METHUSELAH BEGINS RUNNING THE ROPES, BEFORE TAKING CANDICE OUT WITH VINTAGE DEDEDE!!!
James Peters: Methuselah soars over the top rope and takes out Candice Blair! Candice is down, and at this point what can you do to defeat an Elitist like Methuselah!? Very rarely do we see Elitists actually defeat him, and moments ago we just saw Methuselah bounce back after taking two of Candice’s best moves! The size difference doesn’t help, either. Candice has too many disadvantages here, and that’s clearly affecting her as Methuselah slowly drags her up. Methuselah now, LOOKING TO SEND CANDICE INTO THE STEEL STEPS- BUT WAIT A SECOND! CANDICE TURNS IT AROUND, AND METHUSELAH CRASHES INTO THE STEPS INSTEAD!
Rich Russillo: CANDICE JUMPS ONTO THE APRON AS METHUSELAH STARTS PUSHING HIMSELF UP, AND NOW LOOK! SHE JUMPS OFF BEFORE DELIVERING CASTLES CRUMBLING!!!!! THE FLIP PILEDRIVER CONNECTS OUT ON THE RINGSIDE FLOOR, AND THAT HAD TO HAVE DONE MAJOR DAMAGE ON METHUSELAH!!!! METHUSELAH IS DOWN AND OUT, AND IN A SURPRISING TURN OF EVENTS IT LOOKS LIKE CANDICE BLAIR MIGHT ACTUALLY BE ON THE VERGE OF WINNING THIS ONE! CANDICE SLOWLY PULLS METHUSELAH UP BEFORE SENDING HIM INTO THE RING! IS CANDICE ABOUT TO PICK UP WHAT JUST MIGHT BE THE BIGGEST VICTORY IN HER ENTIRE CAREER RIGHT NOW!?
Persephone: God, I hope so. I just want this to end already.
James Peters: Candice finally rolls into the ring, AND SHE PULLS HERSELF OVER METHUSELAH FOR THE COVER!
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE-
James Peters: BUT METHUSELAH GETS THE SHOULDER UP JUST BEFORE THREE!!! METHUSELAH IS STILL IN THIS, BUT THAT WASN’T A ONE COUNT!!! THAT WAS EXTREMELY CLOSE TO THREE, AND IF CANDICE CAN JUST KEEP UP THE OFFENSE SHE MIGHT ACTUALLY BE ABLE TO DO IT! METHUSELAH IS HURTING RIGHT NOW, AND THIS IS IT! CANDICE MIGHT JUST HAVE THIS MATCH WON, ALL SHE NEEDS TO DO IS KEEP UP THE OFFENSE!
Rich Russillo: Candice slowly drags Methuselah back up-
James Peters: WAIT, WHAT THE HELL!?!?
Rich Russillo: EGO DEATH DRIVER!!!! CANDICE HAD METHUSELAH IN A FRONT FACELOCK PULLING HIM UP, AND HE USED THAT TO LIFT HER RIGHT INTO THE EGO DEATH DRIVER OUT OF NOWHERE!!! CANDICE BLAIR IS DOWN, AND METHUSELAH MIGHT HAVE JUST TAKEN ALL OF CANDICE’S FIGHT OUT OF HER WITH ONE SWIFT MOVE!!! CANDICE IS DOWN AND OUT, AND METHUSELAH HOOKS THE LEG FOR THE COVER!
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE!!!
Rich Russillo: NO, IT ISN’T OVER YET!!! CANDICE KICKS OUT! CANDICE IS STILL IN THIS MATCH!!
Persephone: How the hell is she still fighting? This match should’ve been over with by now!
James Peters: Candice is showing a ton of heart tonight, even when faced with a challenger as tough and monstrous as Methuselah. Methuselah has taken a good amount of damage thanks to the fact that Candice hasn’t given up, but the question is, how much more can Candice take? Methuselah gets back to his feet before slowly backing into the corner of the ring, and that Ego Death Driver almost got a three count. If Methuselah connects with what I think he’s going for, I don’t know if Candice will be able to survive it.
Rich Russillo: Candice Blair is slowly finding her way to her feet, but I don’t even think she knows where she is right now! Candice slowly turns towards her opponent, AND METHUSELAH CHARGES IN FOR THE SPEAR- BUT WAIT A SECOND! CANDICE IS ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE WAY, CAUSING METHUSELAH TO RUN SHOULDER FIRST RIGHT INTO THE RING POST! CANDICE DROPS DOWN TO A KNEE AS SHE COULD BARELY EVEN STAND, AND IT LOOKS LIKE SHE JUST SAVED HERSELF FROM WHAT WOULD’VE BEEN THE END OF THIS MATCH!
(Suddenly, loud boos are heard, causing Candice to look confused. She looks around, before finally noticing the stage, where Caroline and Jake Smith are seen walking down the ramp. Candice doesn’t look happy to see them, but both Elitists make their way to ringside, staying away from the ring.)
Persephone: My God, could this get any worse?
James Peters: Caroline and Jake Smith are here, and it looks like they’re claiming to just be here to watch, but I doubt that knowing just what match this is. I don’t trust them at all.
Rich Russillo: Well this match continues as Candice delivers some clubbing blows to the back of Methuselah, and now she pulls him out of the corner of the ring- BUT METHUSELAH IS ABLE TO CONNECT WITH A BACK ELBOW! THE BACK ELBOW CAUSES CANDICE TO STUMBLE BACK, AND METHUSELAH QUICKLY GRABS HER AND LIFTS HER UP BEFORE DELIVERING A SNAKE EYES TO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! Candice stumbles out of the corner, AND NOW METHUSELAH RUNS THE ROPES- BUT CANDICE DELIVERS A DROPKICK AS BOTH ELITISTS GO DOWN! CANDICE IS STAYING IN THIS ONE AS SHE ONCE AGAIN SAVES HERSELF!
James Peters: Candice is crawling over towards the ropes, slowly trying to pull herself back to her feet. Candice can barely stand after the damage she’s taken in this match, but she doesn’t want to go down, meaning she has to endure the pain! Candice back to her feet- BUT METHUSELAH RUNS IN, CONNECTING WITH A BIG BOOT THAT DROPS CANDICE! Methuselah notices Caroline and Jake at ringside, but he doesn’t say anything. Instead he just turns his attention back to Candice, seemingly looking to put this match away before things could get out of hand! Methuselah now powering Candice to the top rope, and whatever he’s looking for, it can’t be good!
Rich Russillo: Methuselah is climbing up top as well, BUT CANDICE IS ABLE TO THROW A FEW FOREARMS AT METHUSELAH! CANDICE WITH FOREARM AFTER FOREARM, TRYING AS HARD AS SHE POSSIBLY CAN TO PREVENT METHUSELAH FROM DELIVERING WHATEVER MOVE HE HAD IN MIND! METHUSELAH IS ABLE TO CONNECT WITH AN UPPERCUT IN RESPONSE, BUT CANDICE RESPONDS TO THIS WITH A HEADBUTT! I THINK CANDICE KNOWS THAT IF METHUSELAH DELIVERS THIS MOVE, IT’S OVER FOR HER! SHE CAN’T LET THAT HAPPEN, SO SHE DELIVERS A SECOND HEADBUTT, AND A THIRD THAT FINALLY CAUSES METHUSELAH TO STUMBLE BACK INTO THE RING!
Persephone: Candice is getting ready to dive from the looks of it, but what does she even do from up there? Nothing good I bet.
James Peters: IT LOOKS LIKE WE’RE ABOUT TO FIND OUT! CANDICE DIVES OFF THE TOP ROPE WITH A CROSSBODY- BUT METHUSELAH IS ABLE TO ROLL THROUGH, HOLDING ONTO CANDICE AS HE RETURNS TO HIS FEET! METHUSELAH WALKS INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE RING, BEFORE DELIVERING A FALLAWAY SLAM, DROPPING CANDICE RIGHT AT THE REFEREE’S FEET AS THE REF QUICKLY CHECKS ON HER! Candice is in a ton of trouble right now, as she’s slowly trying to find her way back up and into this!
Rich Russillo: Candice slowly manages to stir, and somehow she is getting back up following the fallaway slam! Candice deserves a ton of credit for her performance tonight- BUT METHUSELAH RUNS IN, LOOKING FOR A FOREARM- WAIT NO!! CANDICE DUCKED UNDER IT, AND LOOK!!!! METHUSELAH JUST DROPPED THE REFEREE WITH THAT FOREARM! THE REFEREE IS DOWN, AND I DON’T THINK METHUSELAH WAS EXPECTING THINGS TO TURN OUT THIS WAY! THE REF WAS JUST TAKEN OUT BY METHUSELAH, AND- WAIT A MINUTE!
James Peters: DROPKICK TO THE BACK BY CANDICE BLAIR SENDS METHUSELAH INTO THE CORNER!!!! CANDICE AVOIDED THAT FOREARM, AND SHE JUST WASTED NO TIME LOOKING TO MAKE SURE SHE STAYS IN THIS ONE!
(Jake Smith notices the referee is down, staring at Methuselah for a moment. After this, he slowly begins walking over towards the timekeepers area.)
Persephone: Candice and Methuselah need to wrap this one up. I want to leave. I’d rather be anywhere but here.
James Peters: Candice Blair slowly is trying to push herself back to her feet, but you have to imagine she’s pushed herself to her limit tonight! She can barely even stand right now, but she is still fighting! Candice goes after Methuselah- BUT THERE’S A BACK ELBOW BY METHUSELAH AS CANDICE FALLS BACK! CANDICE STUMBLES BACK TO HER FEET- WOAH WOAH WOAH! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?
Rich Russillo: CAROLINE IS IN THE RING, AND SHE JUST SPAT THE MIST AT CANDICE BLAIR!!!
James Peters: YEAH, BUT CANDICE ISN’T THE ONE THAT GOT HIT!!!
Persephone: Wow. How did she screw that up?
Rich Russillo: CANDICE DUCKED UNDER THE MIST, AND CAROLINE JUST MISTED THE CHAIRMAN!!!! INSTEAD OF CATCHING CANDICE, CAROLINE JUST MISTED METHUSELAH!!!!! YOU CAN TELL THAT THIS ISN’T WHAT WAS SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN, AND CANDICE HERSELF LOOKS SHOCKED, AS DOES CAROLINE WHO IS ABLE TO SLIDE OUT OF THE RING BEFORE THE REFEREE GETS BACK UP! THIS WAS A SHOCKING TURN OF EVENTS, AND-
(*CRACK!*)
Persephone: Yikes. I can’t believe they actually just did that.
James Peters: AND NOW LOOK!!! JUST AS METHUSELAH GOT MISTED, JAKE SMITH JUST HIT HIM IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD WITH A STEEL CHAIR!!!!! METHUSELAH WAS JUST HIT WITH A STEEL CHAIR WHILE HE WAS FEELING THE EFFECTS OF THE MIST, AND NOW IT’S JAKE THAT QUICKLY HOPS OFF THE APRON AND BACKS AWAY! I THINK THESE TWO WERE HOPING TO TAKE OUT BOTH COMPETITORS, BUT INSTEAD I THINK THEY JUST OPENED THE DOOR FOR CANDICE TO PICK UP HER BIGGEST WIN YET!
Rich Russillo: THE REFEREE IS GETTING BACK UP, AND BEFORE HE COULD EVEN QUESTION WHERE CAROLINE AND JAKE ARE GOING, CANDICE BLAIR IS GETTING METHUSELAH INTO POSITION! CASTLES CRUMBLING!!!! CASTLES CRUMBLING CONNECTS ONCE AGAIN, THIS TIME RIGHT AFTER THE MIST AND A STEEL CHAIR SHOT TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD!!!! METHUSELAH IS DOWN AND OUT, AND NOW PRINCESS CANDICE HOOKS THE LEGS!!!!!
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE!!!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Bella Braxton: Here is your winner… PRRRIIIIINNCEESSSSSS CAAAANDICCCEEE BBLLAAAAAAAAIIIIIRRR!!!!!!!!!
(‘Rhapsody in Pink’ hits as Candice Blair slowly rolls off of Methuselah. The crowd explodes with cheers for Candice, who just picked up a monumental victory. Candice can barely even move, but eventually she is able to use the ropes to pull herself back to her feet.)
James Peters: CANDICE BLAIR DID IT!!!! CANDICE JUST PICKED UP THE BIGGEST VICTORY OF HER CAREER, BEATING METHUSELAH ONE ON ONE!!!! WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED!?
Persephone: I don’t know if I’d call an accidental three on one the biggest win of someone’s career, but whatever.
Rich Russillo: When that one is Methuselah, I honestly think it’s fair! Ultimately, Caroline did try to mist Candice. Candice was just fortunate enough to get out of the way, causing Methuselah to get misted AND hit with the steel chair. If anything is for sure, Methuselah won’t be happy with how things just played out.
James Peters: Speaking of Jake and Caroline, those two sure got out of there, didn’t they?
Rich Russillo: Can you blame them?
James Peters: Not at all. I wouldn’t want to be anywhere near Methuselah after what was just done to him. On another note, congratulations to Candice!
(Candice has a smile on her face after picking up that victory. She has her hand raised by the referee, and she looks at the stage, knowing that Caroline attempted to cost her the match. Candice leaves the ring following this, and the camera fades from ringside.)
(Voltage cut backstage and the camera caught up to a distraught Bea Valentine. As soon as she saw the camera, she dramatically put her hand out.)
Bea Valentine: Please! Not now! There is too much going on!
(Ashlynn Quinn was also on the scene and she started fanning her mentor.)
Ashlynn Quinn: It’s going to be okay Miss Valentine, I swear! At Bloodsport, I will personally collect every single awful weapon from the plants that Diamond will put in the crowd! Those uggos won’t be able to give her anything to help her win the match. I swear on my life!
(Bea grabbed Ashlynn by the chin and stared into her eyes.)
Bea Valentine: You are too precious for this cold, cruel world my little pet. I will make sure that you have a protective brace for your neck so that awful barbed wire collar does not cut into your delicate skin.
Ashlynn Quinn: You are just too kind. I could not be more grateful to be under your guidance, Miss Valentine, and I promise you that I will do everything I can to make sure KASAI pays for taking Gloria from you all those months ago.
(Bea sniffled, and it was a rather put on sniffle, and she braced herself with a hand on Ashlynn’s shoulder.)
Bea Valentine: I know that you won’t let me down. Go, Ashlynn. Fetch Cornelius and make sure he has my peppermint tea and birthday cake flavored cranberry scone prepared. I can not compete until I’ve had my tea.
???: A birthday cake cranberry flavored scone?
(Ashlynn and Bea quickly whirled around and Ashlynn gasped.)
Ashlynn Quinn: Miss Valentine! It is Mikey!
(Sure enough, the former New Breed Champion had arrived on scene, dressed in his gear, and he had a puzzled look on his face. Ashlynn gaped at him, until Bea shooed her away.)
Bea Valentine: Go, Ashlynn.
(Bea waited for Ashlynn to scurry away before she gave her attention to Michael.)
Bea Valentine: Mikey! How do you do?
Michael Machina: Ready for war. I came to check on you and make sure your head’s on straight for this match. I get that you have a lot going on right now, but we have a battle on our hands tonight and it’s not going to be easy.
Bea Valentine: You came to check on me? You really do like me!
(Michael said nothing to that comment and awkwardly cleared his throat. Bea, at least, had the decency to blush, and wondered if she had said the wrong thing.)
Michael Machina: Limmy and Adam had a lot of shit to say this week, but in a way, they are right. We’re the ones with everything to prove and gain from this match, and I’m not interested in walking away with a loss tonight, not with Camille at ringside.
Bea Valentine: She’s such a bore. She’s not Adam Lucas boring, but she is boring. All this talk about being big and bad, and blah blah blah, but she’s a total pussycat if you want my opinion. I think at Bloodsport you will beat the shit out of her and hopefully that will send her straight to the oldhead old folks home.
Michael Machina: That’s the plan, not that I care what Camille decides to do after Bloodsport. I just want the dub, and then who knows? Maybe you’ll leave Bloodsport with a win, too.
(Bea swallowed a lump in her throat and forced a smile on her face simply for Michael’s benefit. He wasn’t buying it and couldn’t help but shake his head.)
Michael Machina: Phoebe, the match you have at Bloodsport is winnable. Diamond Dixon hasn’t competed on a Marquee Live Event since Christmas, and even then she was in the ring with a woman who never in her career won a match on a Marquee Live Event. You’ve got this.
Bea Valentine: Why are you so convinced of my abilities?
(Bea hadn’t meant to blurt her thoughts out, but for some reason, she couldn’t wrap her head around Michael Machina’s apparent interest in her.)
(For his part, Michael shrugged.)
Michael Machina: You’ve got ‘it’. I’ve told you that before. Up to you to make good on it, though, and let whatever shit’s been going on with you go. Start tonight by working with me to beat two absolute pricks who think they’re better just because they’ve been here longer.
Bea Valentine: They were extremely rude this week, those scoundrels.
(Michael nodded his head.)
Michael Machina: So let’s win.
(He made it sound so simple. In fact, Michael made everything sound simple to Bea and she was starting to become enamored with it. She looked up at him, fluttered her lashes, and nodded her head.)
Bea Valentine: I shall follow your lead, captain!
(Bea awkwardly saluted him and immediately felt regret. Why couldn’t she have said something normal in that situation?)
(A ghost of a smile touched Michael’s lips. He was clearly amused by her.)
Michael Machina: Just do your thing, Phoebe. I trust you.
Ashlynn Quinn: (off-screen) MISS VALENTINE! I HAVE YOUR PEPPERMINT TEA AND BIRTHDAY CAKE CRANBERRY SCONE!!! DID YOU WANT ONE FOR MIKEY???
(Ashlynn rushed into the scene, sloshing peppermint tea everywhere and nearly dropping the tray of scones.)
Michael Machina: You… you really have a unique palette.
(It was the nicest thing he could think to say about Bea’s taste in food. Bea beamed.)
Bea Valentine: There’s plenty if you wish to try one.
Michael Machina: Maybe next time. I will leave you to prepare for the match. See you in a bit.
(Michael walked off and, unable to help it, Bea let out a dreamy sigh.)
Bea Valentine: He loves me. #Vachina is going to become a thing, I just know it! Oh Ashlynn! I simply can not wait to see the two of us trending! We are going to take over the world, Mikey and I! It will be the greatest love story ever written!
(Tossing her head, Bea headed towards the lockerroom and Ashlynn, still spilling tea everywhere, hurried behind her.)
(The scene faded out.)
(Commercial for the upcoming video game “Marvel Rivals”, with Showdown’s Jon Kelton explaining to Bronson Daniels why it’s far better than Overwatch.)
(Sunday Night Voltage returns to a shot of the Ball Arena as the crowd in Denver tonight is bustling in anticipation for what’s going on inside of the ring right now. With the camera beginning to focus in, all eyes are on the Consultant of Sunday Night Voltage Eden Sinclair, as she is seen standing inside the ring. Behind her is the Bloodsport wheel, as there is set to be another stipulation revealed tonight. Eden takes a moment to let the crowd quiet down before, from there, beginning to speak.)
Eden Sinclair: Welcome back, and what a Sunday Night Voltage it’s been! The anticipation for the Bloodsport Marquee Event is through the roof and I am certain that the Elitists in the back are more than ready to prove themselves when we come to you live from SimpliFi Arena in Honolulu, Hawaii! As you see, I’m standing in front of the Bloodsport wheel, which is something that you’ve seen earlier in the night with many of the matches at Bloodsport having some new, quite interesting stipulations to them! We’re looking to add another one to the list, as we talk about the intense fatal four-way match that is happening at the event!
(The crowd cheers, knowing exactly what Eden is alluding to as she has a smirk on her face before she continues.)
Eden Sinclair: It’s safe to say that there is no love lost between any of the competitors in this match. They’re all gunning for each other in some way shape or form… some more than others… and last week I made a match between all of them at Bloodsport official! With that being said, I would like to welcome all four Elitists out to the ring tonight so we can spin the wheel and reveal what stipulation you will all be competing under!
(The crowd murmurs in anticipation as Eden waits patiently inside of the ring for them to come out. It’s not long before ‘The World is Gonna End Tonight’ by Dan Romer & Peter Harper begins to play through the speakers and the crowd responds with a loud negative reaction. The camera goes over to the stage as Solomon Stane is seen making his way out with a serious expression on his face. Looking to get straight to business, he makes his way down the ramp and toward the ring.)
Rich Russillo: You could say that Solomon Stane has been a crucial part of how this match ended up developing. His hatred for a certain someone with whom he competed at Pain For Pride in a heated match spilled onto Sunday Night Voltage, and because of that, the rest of the Elitists in this match ended up getting caught in the crossfire.
James Peters: Solomon’s mind is set on one thing and one thing only, revenge. He certainly didn’t expect anyone else to get in the way of that, but I’m sure that he’s going to be hellbent on getting through all of them if it means he ends up standing tall.
Persephone: Who cares what Solomon Stane thinks, huh? You know what I think, this match and every other match on the Bloodsport card would’ve been infinitely better if Luis De La Rosa was on the brand…
(Solomon makes his way up the steps and onto the apron, entering into the ring as he immediately heads over to take a microphone from the ringside area. ‘The World is Gonna End Tonight’ then begins to come to a close as he turns toward the stage, waiting for the rest of his competition to make his way out.)
(He gets exactly that as ‘Rhapsody in Pink’ by Stela Cole then begins to play through the speakers. The crowd cheers loudly as Candice Blair is seen making her way out. She has a small smile on her face after what happened earlier in her match, but she’s mostly focused on Bloodsport and what’s to come as she then begins to make her way to the ring as well. The camera focuses on Solomon for a moment who glares at her with disdain.)
Rich Russillo: Well as for Candice it’s safe to say that her Season didn’t start particularly how she expected it. Her and Solomon’s goals just so happened to intertwine after an attack backstage by an aforementioned certain someone. Though they disagreed heavily over who would get first dibs, turns out it would be both of them.
James Peters: Candice is a woman on a mission, and she proved that earlier when she got a huge win over Methuselah. That was, of course, thanks to Caroline and Jake though and who knows how much that must mean to her in her head. Regardless, she has her mind set on one thing and one thing only and that’s Bloodsport as she heads out here tonight.
Persephone: I really don’t care about an Ava sister either…
(Candice makes her way up the steps and onto the apron before entering the ring. She looks out to the crowd who continue to show their support before she then takes a microphone while ‘Rhapsody in Pink’ begins to come to a close. She eyes Solomon for a moment before looking toward the stage.)
(She’s then followed by ‘Everybody Knows (Unstoppable)’ by Royal Deluxe which hits through the speakers to a thunderous roar from the crowd. The camera goes over to show Adam Lucas who is immediately making his way out to the stage. Just like his other opponents inside of the ring, he bears a serious expression, certainly feeling a sort of way after everything that has happened these past couple of weeks before heading down to the ring.)
Rich Russillo: Along with that we have Adam Lucas, who, just like Candice, found himself caught in the crossfire of this entire ordeal and has his sights set. Now here we are and he’s more than ready to come out of this with the win.
James Peters: Adam undoubtedly has the most experience out of the bunch when it comes to professional wrestling and he knows exactly what he’s capable of. When he’s at his best he’s one of the top stars in this company, and I’m certain he’s more than eager to get back to that position at the top of the mountain, Bloodsport will do just that for him.
Persephone: I definitely don’t care about him…
(Adam makes his way up the steps and into the ring as he glares at the two Elitists already inside, heading over for a microphone of his own while ‘Everybody Knows (Unstoppable)’ then begins to come to a close.)
(Last but certainly not least, the sounds of ‘Living Dead Girl’ by Rob Zombie is heard playing up, with the crowd booing loudly and the three Elitists inside of the ring certainly taking notice. The camera goes over to show Caroline as she makes her way out to the stage. She has a look of amusement tingled with frustration after what came about with this situation last week, also not wasting much time making her way to the ring.)
Rich Russillo: Now as for the catalyst of this issue, Caroline is certainly a hot commodity on Voltage as she has these three Elitists coming for her neck. All of them have been eager to get their hands on her and after what happened last week, Eden Sinclair was certainly happy to give them a solution that they would all agree to.
James Peters: But Caroline certainly did not seem very happy about that, considering it to be Eden stepping out of line with her duties as a Consultant. We’ll see how that ends up developing sooner rather than later, but I’m sure Caroline is eager to be the one to stand tall over all of them. Give them a reason to hate her more? Perhaps, but as long as she gets her own satisfaction at the end of the day.
Persephone: And I certainly don’t care about her…
(Caroline makes her way up the steel steps as she enters the ring, taking a microphone for herself as ‘Living Dead Girl’ then begins to come to a close. Afterward, all four of them waste absolutely no time getting into it with each other.)
Solomon Stane: Neither of you had any reason to interfere with my issues regarding this spawn of Satan. I am the Lord’s greatest soldier, and he enlisted me and only me to finish the job and send her away for good. This didn’t pertain to any of you, and now you’re going to end up facing the consequences of your actions.
Candice Blair: As if she didn’t attack me needlessly at the start of the Season. If she didn’t put me in her crosshairs then we certainly wouldn’t be here right now, but we’ve started an issue that she won’t be able to solve. I’m just as sick of this as all of you certainly are, but trust me, I’m going to be the one who finishes the job regardless of who’s in my way.
Adam Lucas: I could echo your sentiments, Candice. I certainly didn’t anticipate this being how my Bloodsport plans would end up going, but I’m more than happy to know that I’m going to get my pound of flesh for what Caroline did to me. She made a huge mistake making me her target and if any of you decide that you want to test me as I go after her, then you’re going to find out yourselves just where that’s going to get you.
Caroline: It’s safe to say that I’m not the most liked person…
(Caroline chuckles as all of them glare at her.)
Caroline: But I never intended to put myself in a situation that I couldn’t get out of. All of you are mere ants, squabbling desperately and trying to fight the current. But at Bloodsport all of you are going to end up getting washed away. You all have your respective goals, but in the end, none of you will see them come to fruition.
Solomon Stane: Enough of that, you have done enough. I will make sure that you do not come out victorious if it’s the last thing I do. You have already committed heresy on more than one occasion and I refuse to let you repeat that. If you really think that you’re going to do all of this and get away with it, then you’d be wrong.
Candice Blair: While I respect the intensity, Solomon, I’m going to correct you by saying that it’s going to be neither of your nights when we step into the ring against one another. I didn’t do all of this to come up short at the finish line and I’m certainly not going to be the one that’s disappointed. While all of you are excellent competitors in your own right, I’m going to prove that I’m better because I don’t have a choice but to.
Adam Lucas: She started this issue and I’m going to make sure that I’m the one that ends it. I respect that all of you have your own issues that you’re willing to solve, but it’s getting in the way of mine and that’s not something that I’m going to stand for. If you really take offense to that then I implore you to step up and try and take me down, but nothing is going to stop me from getting everything I want out of Bloodsport.
Caroline: While all of this is quite entertaining…
(Caroline turns to eye Eden Sinclair who has been watching next to the Bloodsport wheel this entire time.)
Caroline: Let’s get down to business because I insist on being the one to spin the wheel.
Eden Sinclair: By all means.
(All the Elitists inside of the ring turn their attention to the wheel as Caroline takes hold of it and spins it. It blurs around for a moment, with the crowd waiting in anticipation for what is to come. Before long, the wheel starts to slow down as it lands on…)
Eden Sinclair: Hardcore Carnival!
(The crowd cheers, but the context of the match type itself is not elaborated on. Nobody knows what “Hardcore Carnival” really is and while it isn’t explained, that doesn’t really matter to the four people inside of the ring.)
Solomon Stane: It doesn’t matter to me what the stipulation is. All that matters is that I’m the one that ends up victorious, not any of you.
Adam Lucas: I’d watch yourself, Solomon. The last thing that you need to do is get yourself into more trouble. You weren’t able to finish the job at Pain For Pride and I don’t see you being able to do it now. Don’t take it personally, this was just never your match to win in the first place.
Candice Blair: Well I’m certainly taking it personally because I don’t expect to lose. Adam, I know how good you are, and I know what the other two in this match are capable of, but that never made a difference for me. All these threats are baseless. I’ve always been deadset on getting everything I could want and I’ve danced around that for too long, I’m looking to make sure that changes.
Caroline: All of you are delusional idiots who don’t know what’s good for you. You’re hyper-fixated on something that you’re not going to be able to do, and when it comes down to it I bear no sympathy toward-
Rich Russillo: OH! IT SEEMS LIKE ALL OF THEM HAVE HEARD ENOUGH! SOLOMON JUST ATTACKED CAROLINE AND ADAM AND CANDICE ARE QUICK TO JOIN IN! FINALLY, ALL OF THEM HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO GET THEIR PAYBACK ON HER AS THEY BEGIN TO THROW REPEATED SHOTS AT HER FACE!
James Peters: CAROLINE IS DOING EVERYTHING THAT SHE CAN RIGHT NOW IN HOPES OF FENDING IT OFF! BUT IT SEEMS LIKE IT’S NO USE AS SHE’S COMPLETELY OUTNUMBERED RIGHT NOW IN THIS ATTACK!
Rich Russillo: CAROLINE DIPS DOWN TO A KNEE AND THIS IS NOT LOOKING GOOD FOR HER AT ALL! SHE’S GETTING BATTERED RIGHT NOW AND THERE SEEMS TO BE NO REPRIEVE IN SIGHT FOR HER!
(Suddenly, the crowd roars as they turn their attention toward the stage.)
James Peters: WAIT! WAIT! LOOK WHO’S MAKING HIS WAY OUT! IT’S METHUSELAH! THE CHAIRMAN IS HERE AND HE LOOKS ABSOLUTELY FURIOUS!
Rich Russillo: WE KNOW THAT JUST BEFORE THIS IT WAS CAROLINE AND JAKE WHO COSTS HIM HIS MATCH AGAINST CANDICE AND HE LOOKS ABSOLUTELY FURIOUS! HE’S LOOKING TO JOIN IN AND GET HIS HANDS ON HER TOO-
James Peters: OH MY GOD! FROM BEHIND! IT’S JAKE SMITH! THE EAW WORLD CHAMPION IS HERE AND HE’S TAKING HIS OPPORTUNITY WHILE HE CAN TO ATTACK ONE OF HIS BLOODSPORT OPPONENTS RIGHT NOW! HE’S LAYING PUNCHES ON METHUSELAH AND THIS IS ABSOLUTE CHAOS RIGHT NOW!
(Suddenly, while all of this is going on, the lights go off. The crowd mumers in confusion for a moment and as the lights come back on…)
Rich Russillo: CAROLINE IS GONE! Everyone who was attacking her was left in the ring but she seemed to have used this opportunity to disappear!
(Everyone is confused about what has transpired as all the brawling has stopped to take notice of this. Solomon, in a fit of frustration, storms out of the ring and takes his leave. Candice ultimately does as well, leaving Adam Lucas, Jake Smith, and Methuselah. Adam sighs as he takes off his entrance gear, preparing for his main event match coming up next, while Jake and Methuselah, who are staring daggers into one another, realize this pertains to them just as much as it does Adam, as the two of them head around to opposite sides of the ringside area. It’s the last shot seen before Sunday Night Voltage, from there, begins to fade to a brief commercial break.)
(Commercial for the final chapter of My Hero Academia with Limmy Monaghan.)
(Voltage returns to ringside. ‘RED THUNDER’ by Butcher Babies fades in the background as Ms. Extreme takes her seat in the open office chair on the opposite side of the announce table to Methuselah’s.)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome… MS. EXTREME!
(Adam Lucas is already in the ring, and keeping his eyes on Methuselah ringside, along with Jake Smith, who remains at the end of the ramp, not wanting any parts of Methuselah after what he did to him earlier.)
Bella Braxton: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR… ONE FALL!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!
Bella Braxton: Introducing first! Already in the ring! Hailing out of New York City, New York, weighing in at 231…HE IS THE NEXT LEVEL…ADAM LUCAS!!
(Adam Lucas receives a loud pop from fans, and Limmy Monaghan receives an equal one as ‘Number One’ by Shirō Sagisu & Hazel Fernandes blasts throughout the arena. Limmy makes his way down to the ring, and passes by Jake Smith at the end of the ramp, the two locking eyes briefly.)
Bella Braxton: And his partner! Residing out of Golden Beach, Florida, weighing in at 227 pounds…HE IS THE ACE OF ELITE ANSWERS WRESTLING…LIMMY MONAGHAN!!
James Peters: Already, this match is interesting, and the bell hasnt even rung.
Rich Russillo: Look at the bodies we have out here tonight. No way this goes off without a hitch. I’ve watched enough wrestling to know that.
Persephone: Well, if they’re going to interfere, can they at least do it early, so I don’t have to sit through this match?
(“Gloria” by Laura Branigan plays out Bea Valentine, who is flanked by Ashlynn Quinn, and the duo remain on stage, awaiting the arrival of Michael Machina, who comes out to “Apostle’s Warning” by Mobb Deep. Michael Machina marches down the ramp, both Bea Valentine and Ashlynn Quinn trail behind him slightly, Bea admiring Michael Machina.)
Stephie Love: And their opponents! At a combined weight of 383 pounds, accompanied to the ring by Ashlynn Quinn… THE TEAM OF MICHAEL MACHINA AND BEA VALENTINE!
James Peters: Bea Valentine is, uh, awfully infatuated with Michael Machina.
Rich Russillo: It’s been that way ever since he gave her respect following that match they had together.
Persephone: Who knew the new “rizz” was just beating the shit outta someone.
(The referee signals to the bell as both Bea and Limmy start things off.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
James Peters: Alright, the bell has rung, and we are underway! It’ll be Bea Valentine starting things off against Limmy Monaghan. Though, we’ll be paying close attention to ringside, because that too has combustible written all over it. Methuselah, Ms. Extreme, and EAW World Champion, Jake Smith.
Rich Russillo: Don’t forget that Ashlynn Quinn is ringside as well, and might look to assist both Bea Valentine and Michael Machina.
Persephone: Might? :cmon:
Rich Russillo: You’re right, it’s when with Ashlynn Quinn, who has repeatedly stuck her nose in Bea Valentine’s business. Same with Bea Valentine sticking her nose in Ashlynn Quinn’s business.
James Peters: These two aren’t afraid to bend the rules, but with Michael Machina on the team, I don’t think they really have to. The man is a beast, and while he’s not starting the match off, he’s definitely a game changer once he’s tagged in.
Rich Russillo: Well, starting the match off is Limmy Monaghan and Bea Valentine as stated earlier. Both competitors circle around each other, and meet in the middle with a collar and elbow tie-up! Limmy Monaghan gains the upper hand with an arm wringer, maintaining control of the wrist.
James Peters: Once again, Limmy wrings the arm of Valentine, and transitions into a hammerlock. Bea reverses into a hammerlock of her own, and transitions into a standing side headlock on Monaghan. Bea tries directing Limmy to her corner- but Limmy slips out of it, shoving Bea Valentine off!
Rich Russillo: Limmy’s smart, he knew that’s the last place you want to be in a tag team match.
James Peters: Bea looks annoyed to have her plan foiled, but composes herself, and circles around Limmy Monaghan for a second time. Both competitors engage in another collar and elbow tie-up, and Limmy takes Bea down with a side headlock takeover! Limmy has successfully grounded Valentine, and wrenches on the hold.
Rich Russillo: But Bea uses her legs to wrap around Limmy’s head for a grounded headscissors. Bea tightens her hold around his neck, but Limmy kicks out of it, and scrambles back to his feet! Bea does the same, and both competitors lock eyes, finding themselves at a stalemate.
James Peters: Both competitors begin to close the distance, locking hands for a test of strength- Limmy wrings the arm of Valentine- OOH! VALENTINE EXPLODES WITH A FOREARM, BREAKING THE HOLD!
Rich Russillo: Limmy doubles over as a result, favoring his jaw, and Bea goes to run off the ropes- BUT LIMMY PULLS HER BACK IN BY THE REAR OF HER TRUNKS, AND GOES FOR A BACK SUPLEX! HOWEVER, BEA BACKFLIPS OUT OF IT, LANDING ON HER FEET! LIMMY SPINS AROUND, AND DRIVES HER BACK FIRST INTO HIS CORNER!
**TAG!!**
James Peters: ADAM LUCAS TAGS HIMSELF IN! MEANWHILE, LIMMY IS GOING TO TOWN WITH REPEATED SHOULDER THRUSTS TO THE ABDOMEN AREA OF BEA VALENTINE! LIMMY THEN SENDS HER INTO ADAM LUCAS FOR A FRONT POWERSLAM! HOOK OF THE LEG!
ONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Rich Russillo: Kickout! Adam Lucas lifts Bea Valentine back to her feet, and tags BACK out to Limmy Monaghan!
**TAG!!**
Rich Russillo: Limmy enters the ring, and both men whip Bea Valentine off the ropes! Dropdown by Adam Lucas! BEA JUMPS OVER IT, BUT GETS CAUGHT FLUSH WITH A DROPKICK IMMEDIATELY AFTERWARDS BY LIMMY MONAGHAN!
James Peters: Bea is quickly back to her feet, and wanders RIGHT into a kick to the gut! LIMMY SETS HER UP FOR THE OUTER HEAVEN! THAT PEDIGREE HES BEGAN USING- BUT BEA SHOVES HIM AWAY, AND SLIDES OUT UNDERNEATH THE BOTTOM ROPE TO CREATE SEPERATION!
Persephone: Pussy.
James Peters: Bea Valentine looks to regroup, getting a pep talk from Ashlynn Quinn ringside.
Rich Russillo: I wonder what she’s saying to her.
Persephone: Probably nonsense.
Rich Russillo: Bea manages to compose herself, and rolls back inside the ring, looking like she’s ready to square off against Limmy once again… but decides against it. Tagging out to Michael Machina instead!
**TAG!!**
James Peters: Hey, that’s not a bad strategy. Michael enters the ring- BUT LIMMY MONAGHAN RUSHES HIM, DELIVERING MULTIPLE RIGHTS! HOWEVER, MICHAEL MACHINA OVERPOWERS HIM, SHOVING LIMMY DOWN! LIMMY ROLLS THROUGH TO HIS FEET, AND CHARGES MICHAEL MACHINA- BUT MACHINA FLOORS HIM WITH A RUNNING SHOULDER TACKLE!
Rich Russillo: Limmy rises to a knee, and glances over at Adam Lucas, who extends his hand for a tag. Looks like Lucas wants a crack at the powerhouse!
**TAG!!**
Rich Russillo: And Limmy gives him what he wants! Adam Lucas is now the legal man in this match, but I’d like to note that THIS is what Ms. Extreme is up against come Bloodsport.
James Peters: I can’t fathom how Ms. Extreme remains confident in the face of that man, Michael Machina- actually, I take that back. She is an EAW Hall of Famer, but still. One must be worried about the new kid on the block, who has run through almost everyone in his path since arriving to Elite Answers Wrestling.
Rich Russillo: Adam Lucas enters the ring, and marches toward Michael Machina- BRINGING THE FIGHT RIGHT TO HIM WITH A KICK TO THE GUT! FOLLOWED BY A CHOP! THEN A RIGHT HAND! CHOP! RIGHT HAND! CHOP! RIGHT HAND! ADAM LUCAS ALTERNATES BETWEEN BOTH- BUT GETS HIS MOMENTUM HALTED WITH A KNEE TO THE GUT!
James Peters: MICHAEL MACHINA RUNS OFF THE ROPES TO BUILD MOMENTUM- BUT GETS PLANTED FACE FIRST WITH A DROP TOE HOLD! MACHINA RISES TO ALL FOURS, FAVORING HIS MOUTH AND NOSE AREA- BUT ADAM LUCAS ATTEMPTS TO END IT HERE WITH AN OKLAHOMA ROLL!
ONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Rich Russillo: KICKOUT! ADAM LUCAS RUSHES BACK TO HIS FEET, AND GRABS HOLD OF MICHAEL MACHINA, LIFTING HIM TO A KNEE- BUT ASHLYNN QUINN! ASHLYNN QUINN HOPS UP ON THE APRON, CAUSING ADAM LUCAS TO TRY, AND KNOCK HER OFF WITH A RUNNING RIGHT HAND! BUT ASHLYNN DROPS OFF JUST BEFORE HE CAN CONNECT!
James Peters: Adam Lucas turns around- CAUGHT! MICHAEL MACHINA GRABS HOLD OF ADAM LUCAS, AND LAUNCHES HIM WITH AN OVERHEAD BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX! MICHAEL MACHINA PULLS ADAM BACK TO HIS FEET, AND THROWS HIM INTO THE CORNER, STOMPING ADAM LUCAS DOWN TO A SEATED POSITION!
**TAG!!**
Rich Russillo: Michael makes the tag to Bea Valentine, who enters the ring, and delivers stomps of her own in the corner!
James Peters: Bea stands Adam up, and PLANTS him in the center of the ring with a SNAP SUPLEX! Bea floats over into the cover!
ONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!
Rich Russillo: Kickout! But Bea immediately transitions into a rear chinlock, hoping to wear her opponent down!
Persephone: Great, because that’s what I thought this match needed. To slow down.
James Peters: Remember, Adam was rolling before Ashlynn Quinn hopped up on the apron, being the difference maker, which swung the momentum back in both Michael Machina’s and Bea Valentine’s favor.
Rich Russillo: The fans start to rally behind him, and Adam starts powering back to his feet. Lucas loosens Bea’s grip with multiple back elbows to the abdomen, but Bea halts his momentum with a RIGHT HAND! Adam’s stunned, and Bea whips him toward the ropes!
James Peters: LEAPFRO- NO! ADAM CATCHES HER OUTTA MID-AIR WITH A SCOOP POWERSLAM! AND LUCAS BEGINS CRAWLING TOWARDS THE CORNER, WANTING A TAG OUT TO LIMMY MONAGHAN!
Rich Russillo: BEA REACHES FOR THE ANKLE OF ADAM LUCAS- BUT ADAM DIVES FOR THE TAG!
**TAG!!**
Rich Russillo: AND HE GETS IT! ADAM LUCAS MADE THE TAG TO LIMMY MONAGHAN, AND LIMMY RUSHES IN THE RING, TAKING BEA DOWN WITH A RUNNING CLOTHESLINE! BEA IS QUICKLY BACK TO HER FEET, AND GETS DROPPED WITH ANOTHER RUNNING CLOTHESLINE!
James Peters: BEA SCRAMBLES TO HER FEET, AND LIMMY GOES TO IRISH WHIP HER TOWARD THE ROPES- BUT BEA TURNS IT AROUND AT THE LAST MINUTE, SENDING LIMMY TOWARD THE ROPES INSTEAD! BUT LIMMY REBOUNDS BACK WITH A SLINGBLADE!
Rich Russillo: SLINGBLADE BY LIMMY, WHO RUSHES TOWARD MICHAEL MACHINA, AND KNOCKS HIM OFF THE APRON WITH A RUNNING FOREARM! LIMMY TURNS AROUND IN THE CORNER-
James Peters: OOH! BEA VALENTINE CAME CHARGING IN, BUT LIMMY GOT THE BOOT UP! BEA STAGGERS SLIGHTLY, AND LIMMY HOPS TO THE MIDDLE ROPE- WAIT!
Rich Russillo: BEA TRIED TO CHARGE LIMMY, BUT LIMMY LEAPED OVER HER, AND ROLLED THROUGH TO HIS FEET! BEA CHARGES LIMMY AGAIN! THIS TIME, LOOKING FOR A CLOTHESLINE- BUT LIMMY DUCKS UNDERNEATH IT, AND DELIVERS A PELE KICK!
James Peters: BEA TUMBLES OVER, AND ROLLS TO THE OUTSIDE! BUT THAT WONT BE ENOUGH TO SAVE HER AS LIMMY GOES TO RUN OFF THE ROPES, AND BUILD MOMENTUM-
Rich Russillo: BUT MICHAEL MACHINA! MICHAEL MACHINA TRIPPED LIMMY UP SLIGHTLY FROM THE OUTSIDE, SAVING HIS PARTNER! LIMMY TURNS AROUND, IRATE WITH MACHINA’S ACTIONS, BUT NEEDS TO LOOK BEHIND HIM!
James Peters: BECAUSE BEA VALENTINE JUST SLID IN THE RING, AND FROM BEHIND, SHOVES LIMMY INTO THE ROPES FOR A REBOUND GERMAN SUPLEX! DUMPING LIMMY HIGH ON THE BACK OF HIS NECK AND SHOULDERS!
Rich Russillo: LIMMY CRAWLS TO THE CORNER, AND SEATS HIMSELF THERE, TRYING TO SHAKE THE COBWEBS OUT OF HIS HEAD! BUT BEA VALENTINE HEADS TO THE OPPOSITE CORNER, AND HAS LIMMY MONAGHAN IN HER SIGHTS!
James Peters: BEA CHARGES IN, AND DELIVERS DOUBLE KNEES INTO THE CORNER! BEA SWARM CONNECTS!
Persephone: Dumb name for a stupid move.
Rich Russillo: BEA ROLLS LIMMY OUT THE CORNER, AND COULD GO FOR THE COVER- BUT DECIDES AGAINST IT! BEA VALENTINE IS CLIMBING TO THE TOP ROPE!
James Peters: BEA HAS PERCHED HERSELF, AND DIVES DOWN ONTO BEA WITH A FROG SPLASH! FLIGHT OF THE BUMBLEBEA! BACK TO BACK SIGNATURE MOVES OF BEA VALENTINE, WHO HOOKS THE LEG!
ONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRREEEEEEE-
Rich Russillo: SHOULDER UP! LIMMY GOT THE SHOULDER UP, AND BEA VALENTINE CANT BELIEVE IT! BEA FELT AS IF SHE HAD LIMMY DEAD TO RIGHTS, BUT NO! LIMMY’S STILL KICKIN!
Persephone: Fucking sigh.
James Peters: Bea connected with both moves back to back, but neither were able to put Limmy away, and Bea is absolutely beside herself, starting to pound the mat in frustration!
Rich Russillo: See, this is what Bea needs to avoid! She can’t let her emotions get the best of her!
James Peters: Bea snaps out of it, and drags Limmy by his hair towards her corner.
**TAG!!**
James Peters: Bea Valentine makes the tag, and Michael Machina is now the legal man. Bea holds both arms behind Limmy’s back while he remains on both knees, and Michael Machina takes the easy shot with MULTIPLE RIGHT HANDS!
Rich Russillo: Finally, Bea Valentine lets go, and leaves the ring as Limmy drops to all fours. Michael Machina pulls him back up, and backs Limmy into the corner. MACHINA CONNECTS WITH A KNIFE EDGE CHOP THAT ECHOES THROUGHOUT THE ARENA!
James Peters: Limmy collapses down to all fours, and Michael Machina drags Limmy toward the ropes, hanging him up on the middle. Machina tags out to Bea Valentine!
**TAG!!**
Rich Russillo: Bea enters the ring, and STARTS CHOKING LIMMY ACROSS THE MIDDLE ROPE! REFEREE INTERVENES, GIVING HER TIL THE COUNT OF FIVE!
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR!
James Peters: Referee pulls Bea Valentine away, but with his back turned, ASHLYNN QUINN DELIVERS A SLAP TO THE ROPE HUNG LIMMY!
**TAG!!**
Rich Russillo: Bea pushed past the referee after that slap, and made the tag to Machina once seeing the coast was clear! Michael enters the ring as Limmy rises to a knee, and goes to irish whip him off the ropes! MICHAEL DUCKS DOWN, PERHAPS SIGNALING EARLY FOR A BACK BODY DROP-
James Peters: NO! PENALTY KICK TO THE CHEST JOLTS MACHINA UPRIGHT, BUT THAT ONLY SERVED TO FIRE HIM UP, AND HE RUNS LIMMY OVER WITH AN EXPLOSIVE CLOTHESLINE!
Rich Russillo: Michael Machina stands Limmy up, and BODY SLAMS HIM ONTO THE CANVAS!
**TAG!!**
James Peters: Michael placed Limmy in perfect positioning for Bea, who hops to the middle rope, and dives onto Limmy with A LEG DROP! COVER IS MADE, HOOKING THE LEG!
ONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Persephone: Another kickout…
Rich Russillo: Bea doesn’t look happy, and brings Limmy back to his feet slowly. VALENTINE ATTEMPTS A RIGHT HAND- BUT LIMMY BLOCKS IT TO DELIVER ONE OF HIS OWN! LIMMY STARTS TO SCORE WITH A FLURRY OF PUNCHES, BACKING BEA UP AGAINST THE ROPES FOR AN IRISH WHIP!!
James Peters: BUT BEA COUNTERS, SENDING LIMMY TOWARD THE ROPES INSTEAD, AND SLIPS BEHIND HIM FOR A SLEEPER HOLD AS HE COMES REBOUNDING BACK! BEA HOPS ON LIMMY’S BACK AS WELL, WRAPPING HER LEGS AROUND HIS WAIST, CINCHING THE MOVE IN FURTHER!
Rich Russillo: LIMMY FLAILS HIS ARMS, BUT HE IS SLAP DAB IN THE CENTER OF THE RING! BEA MAKES THE HOLD EVEN TIGHTER, AND LIMMY DROPS TO A KNEE, STRUGGLING TO BREATHE!
Persephone: Hopefully, he fades, and we can call it a night.
James Peters: Limmy’s eyes are flickering… BUT HE POWERS BACK TO HIS FEET, AND BEGIN SLOWLY MAKING STRIDES TOWARDS ADAM LUCAS IN THE CORNER!
Rich Russillo: BEA UNHOOKS HER LEGS, SO SHE CAN GAIN MORE CONTROL, AND STOP LIMMY FROM GETTING TO ADAM LUCAS IN THE CORNER! HOWEVER, LIMMY ESCAPES THE SLEEPER HOLD WITH A BACK SUPLEX! BOTH COMPETITORS ARE DOWN, BUT LIMMY NEEDS TO GET TO HIS CORNER!
James Peters: LIMMY MAKES IT A KNEE, BUT BEA VALENTINE ROLLS OVER TO HER CORNER, AND MAKES THE TAG OUT TO MACHINA!
**TAG!!**
Rich Russillo: MACHINA RUSHES IN THE RING, AND CHARGES MONAGHAN- BUT LIMMY SIDESTEPS, AND SENDS MICHAEL OUT THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE! LIMMY TAKES A MOMENT TO CATCH HIS BREATH BEFORE LEAPING OUT FOR THE TAG!
James Peters: MACHINA! MACHINA YANKED ADAM OFF, AND LUCAS HIT FACE FIRST ON THE APRON! MICHAEL SLIDES IN THE RING, BUT EATS A KNIFE EDGE CHOP FROM LIMMY! FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER! AND ANOTHER! LIMMY RUNS OFF THE ROPES, BUT GETS PLANTED WITH A BLACK HOLE SLAM! HOOK OF THE LEG!
ONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!
TH-
Rich Russillo: ADAM LUCAS BREAKS THINGS UP WITH A DOUBLE AXE HANDLE BEFORE LEAVING THE RING!
James Peters: Michael Machina’s evidently annoyed by this, but decides to keep working on Limmy Monaghan some more. Michael stands Limmy up, and backs him into his corner, aka the last place Limmy wants to be in a match like this. Michael goes for a right hand- BUT LIMMY BLOCKS IT, AND BATTLES BACK WITH A RIGHT OF HIS OWN!
Rich Russillo: LIMMY MONAGHAN FIGHTS HIS WAY OUT OF THE CORNER WITH MULTIPLE RIGHTS, BUT MICHAEL DUCKS UNDERNEATH ONE, AND GOES FOR A BACK SUPLEX- LIMMY BACKFLIPS ONTO HIS FEET, AND SCORES WITH A KNIFE EDGE CHOP!

Rich Russillo: MULTIPLE SHOULDERS THRUSTS IN THE CORNER CONNECT, AND MACHINA CLUBS LIMMY MONAGHAN ACROSS THE BACK!
James Peters: Limmy drops to all fours, reaching out for, and wanting a tag to Adam Lucas-
**TAG!!**
James Peters: But the only tag made is Michael Machina out to be Bea Valentine.
Rich Russillo: Earlier, we mentioned that Adam Lucas and Limmy Monaghan were working well together as a team, but look at both Bea Valentine and Michael Machina! They’ve worked well together as a team also!
James Peters: Hard to disagree with that. Bea stands Limmy up, and places him into the corner before lifting Limmy to the top rope. Bea climbs to the middle rope, and hooks Limmy up for a SUPERPLEX-
Rich Russillo: LIMMY BLOCKS IT! LIMMY BLOCKS THE SUPERPLEX ATTEMPT, HANGING ONTO THE TOP ROPE, AND LANDS A SHOT TO THE RIB CAGE! THAT LOOSENED THE GRIP OF BEA VALENTINE, AND LIMMY KNOCKS HER OFF THE MIDDLE ROPE WITH A HEADBUTT!
James Peters: Limmy tries perching himself on the top rope- BUT BEA VALENTINE RUNS UP THE ROPES LIKE A CAT, ONLY TO BE SHOVED OFF AGAIN BY LIMMY!
**TAG!!**
Rich Russillo: BEA TAGS OUT TO MICHAEL MACHINA! MACHINA MARCHES TOWARD LIMMY IN THE CORNER- BUT EATS A BOOT FOR HIS TROUBLES! MICHAEL STAGGERS BACK, AND LIMMY DIVES OFF THE MIDDLE ROPE WITH A NECKBREAKER! BOTH MEN ARE DOWN, AND LIMMY STARTS CRAWLING TOWARDS ADAM LUCAS!
James Peters: MICHAEL GRABS LIMMY BY HIS ANKLE, AND PULLS HIM UP FROM BEHIND BY THE REAR OF HIS TIGHTS! MICHAEL WHIPS LIMMY TOWARD THE ROPES, AND GOES FOR A BACK BODY DROP! BUT LIMMY HAS IT SCOUTED AGAIN WITH A PENALTY KICK TO THE CHEST, JOLTING MACHINA UPRIGHT!
Rich Russillo: MACHINA SWINGS WILDLY WITH A CLOTHESLINE- BUT LIMMY ROLLS UNDERNEATH IT, AND DIVES FOR THE TAG OUT TO ADAM LUCAS!
**TAG!!**
James Peters: ADAM LUCAS ENTERS THE RING, AND BLOCKS A RIGHT HAND FROM MICHAEL MACHINA, LANDING ONE OF HIS OWN! ADAM STARTS TO UNLOAD WITH RIGHTS, AND DIRECTS MICHAEL TO THE CORNER, SLAMMING HIM FACE FIRST OFF THE TOP TURNBUCKLE!
Rich Russillo: MULTIPLE STOMPS IN THE CORNER DROP MICHAEL MACHINA TO A SEATED POSITION! BEA ENTERS THE RING, CHARGING TOWARD ADAM LUCAS, BUT HE SEES HER COMING, AND DROPS HER WITH A RUNNING CLOTHESLINE! BEA ROLLS TO THE OUTSIDE, LEAVING ADAM LUCAS ALONE WITH MACHINA!

Rich Russillo: BACK ELBOW ATTEMPT- DUCKED UNDERNEATH! ADAM LUCAS REBOUNDS OFF THE ROPES A THIRD TIME, AND FLOORS MACHINA WITH A CLOTHESLINE! MICHAEL POPS BACK TO HIS FEET, AND GETS DROPPED WITH ANOTHER CLOTHESLINE!
James Peters: AGAIN, MICHAEL MACHINA IS BACK TO HIS FEET, AND EATS A KICK TO THE GUT, DOUBLING HIM OVER FOR A SUPLEX ATTEMPT! BUT MICHAEL MACHINA BLOCKS IT, AND HOISTS ADAM UP FOR A SUPLEX OF HIS OWN-
Rich Russillo: ADAM FLOATS OVER BEHIND MACHINA, AND SPINS HIM AROUND FOR A KICK TO THE GUT! ADAM TRIES TO HOIST MICHAEL UP FOR A POWERBOMB! BUT MICHAEL REVERSES WITH A BACK BODY DROP- NO! ADAM REVERSES WITH A SUNSET FLIP!
ONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!

James Peters: KICKOUT! BOTH COMPETITORS SCRAMBLE BACK TO THEIR FEET, AND MICHAEL CONNECTS WITH A KICK TO THE GUT! IRISH WHIP ATTEMPT- BUT ADAM TWISTS THE ARM OF MACHINA, AND SHORT ARMS HIM INTO A SPINEBUSTER! COVER IS MADE!
ONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHH-
Rich Russillo: Kickout! Adam Lucas thinks on his next move before climbing to the top rope! OR AT LEAST ATTEMPTING AS BEA VALENTINE RUSHED HIM IN THE APRON- ONLY TO GET CAUGHT WITH A BOOT! ADAM DROPS TO THE APRON, LOOKING TO GET A FURTHER PIECE OF BEA VALENTINE- BUT MICHAEL MACHINA CHARGES INTO HIM WITH A SHOULDER TACKLE, KNOCKING ADAM OFF THE APRON!
Persephone: If this dumb fuck would’ve stayed focused…
James Peters: Michael leaves the ring, and goes to send Adam face first into the ringpost- BUT ADAM COUNTERS AT THE LAST MINUTE, SENDING MICHAEL MACHINA INSTEAD!
Rich Russillo: ADAM GRABS HOLD OF BEA, AND SENDS HER BACK FIRST INTO THE BARRICADE! ADAM THREATENS ASHLYNN AS WELL, WHO LOOKS AS IF SHE DOESNT WANT NONE OF ADAM LUCAS! LUCAS SENDS MICHAEL INTO THE RING, AND CLIMBS TO THE TOP ROPE!
James Peters: ADAM LEAPS OFF, BUT GETS CAUGHT OUTTA MID AIR, AND LAUNCHED WITH A BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX!
Rich Russillo: Machina is down! Adam is down! Both competitors are crawling to their opposite corners! But who will make the tag first?
**TAG!!**
James Peters: THATLL BE MICHAEL MACHINA, GETTING THE TAG OUT TO BEA VALENTINE-
**TAG!!**
James Peters: BUT ADAM LUCAS ISNT FAR BEHIND, TAGGING OUT TO LIMMY MONAGHAN! BEA CHARGES TOWARD LIMMY- BUT LIMMY SPRINGS OFF THE TOP ROPE WITH A FOREARM! BEA CRAWLS TO THE ROPES, AND PULLS HERSELF UP WITH ASSISTANCE, BUT GETS CLOTHESLINED UP AND OVER!
Rich Russillo: LIMMY RUNS OFF THE ROPES, AND WIPES OUT BOTH MICHAEL MACHINA AND BEA VALENTINE WITH A TOPE CON HILO! LIMMY ROLLS BEA BACK INSIDE THE RING!
James Peters: LIMMY SLIDES BACK IN HIMSELF, AND BEA LEAPS IN THE AIR FOR THE BEA STING- BUT LIMMY COUNTERS THE MUSHROOM STOMP WITH A SIT-OUT POWERBOMB! LIMMY HOLDS IT FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHHHRRRRRREEEEEEE-
Rich Russillo: SHOULDER UP!
Persephone: Ashlynn Quinn looked ready to have a heart attack.
Rich Russillo: Limmy stalks Bea Valentine as she slowly returns to her feet, and spins her around with a kick to the gut! OUTER HEAVEN ATTEMPT- BUT BEA VALENTINE TWIRLS OUT OF IT, AND DELIVERS A SUPERKICK! LIMMY DROPS TO A KNEE, AND BEA RUNS OFF THE ROPES-
James Peters: HOWEVER, GETS POPPED INTO A DEATH VALLEY DRIVER! EXCALIBUR CONNECTS, AND LIMMY HOOKS THE LEG!

Persephone: :kyrie: I need a drink.
Rich Russillo: Bea Valentine can’t believe it, but snaps out of it once seeing Michael Machina up on the apron. Bea decides to tag out-
**TAG!!**
James Peters: Machina enters the ring, and Bea holds Limmy up for a spear as Machina starts bouncing back and forth off the ropes, building momentum!
Rich Russillo: ADAM LUCAS! ADAM LUCAS DRAGS BEA OUT UNDERNEATH THE BOTTOM ROPE, AND SENDS HER INTO THE BARRICADE! MICHAEL REBOUNDS OFF THE ROPES AGAIN- BUT GETS CAUGHT WITH A BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE! DIABLE JAMBE TURNS MACHINA AROUND, PLACING HIM ON WOBBLY LEGS! WHAT DOES LIMMY HAVE IN MIND HERE AS HE CLEARLY ISN’T DONE!?

Both Limmy and Adam climb to the middle, looking for some sort of double team- a double team superplex it looks like!

James Peters: REFEREE IS STILL PREOCCUPIED WITH PREVENTING ASHLYNN QUINN FROM GETTING INTO THE RING, HE DOESNT EVEN SEE WHATS GOING ON!
Rich Russillo: JAKE HAS MOUNTED LIMMY WHILE HES LEANED UP AGAINST THOSE STEEL STEPS, AND IS JUST UNLOADING WITH RIGHT HANDS!

Rich Russillo: THE REFEREE FINALLY DEALS WITH ASHLYNN QUINN, AND TAKES NOTICE OF WHATS HAPPENING IN THE CROWD!
**TAG!!**
James Peters: TAG WAS MADE TO BEA VALENTINE, WHO DIVES ONTO ADAM LUCAS WITH A CROSSBODY- BUT ADAM CAUGHT HER! BEA TRIED TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE DISTRACTION, BUT ITS NOT THAT EASY-
Rich Russillo: WHAT THE HELL-

Persephone: What’s he waiting for? Cover him.
Rich Russillo: No, Michael Machina decides against it, tagging out to Bea Valentine instead! Bea has a smile on her face, clearly not expecting that from Machina, and she quickly hooks the leg on Adam! Referee turns around to take notice, and I think this one is over!
ONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHHHRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Bella Braxton: HERES YOUR WINNERS… MICHAEL MACHINA AND BEA VALENTINE!!
(“Gloria” by Laura Branigan blares throughout the arena, and Michael Machina claps from the apron. Bea Valentine is overcome with joy, so much so, she could cry, having picked up the pinfall victory over Adam Lucas. Solomon Stane can be seen smirking as he backpedals up the ramp, proud of his handiwork.)
James Peters: They did it! Michael Machina and Bea Valentine have managed to topple both Limmy Monaghan and Adam Lucas!
Rich Russillo: Granted, it’s a victory with an asterix! First, Jake Smith interfering, taking Limmy out the equation as he brawled into the crowd with Methuselah and Jake.
James Peters: Then you have Solomon Stane STABBING Adam Lucas in the back with that crucifix!
Persephone: Whatever. I’m just glad-
(Ashlynn enters the ring to celebrate with Bea Valentine before both their smiles quickly fade as “KARATE” by BABYMETAL blares throughout the arena, and KASAI comes running down to the ring, joined by Diamond Dixon. Both women rush past Solomon Stane as they slide into the ring.)
James Peters: UH OH! BEA AND ASHLYNN’S NIGHTS AREN’T OVER YET AS DIAMOND DIXON AND KASAI SLIDE INTO THE RING!
Rich Russillo: OOH! KASAI TACKLES ASHLYNN QUINN DOWN, AND BOTH WOMEN GO TUMBLING TO THE OUTSIDE!
James Peters: BOTH SCRAMBLE BACK TO THEIR FEET, AND ARE EXCHANGING BLOWS! BUT KASAI GETS THE BEST OF ASHLYNN QUINN, WHO STARTS TRYING TO RETREAT THROUGH THE TIMEKEEPERS AREA- BUT KASAI IS HOT ON HER HEELS!
Rich Russillo: MEANWHILE, BACK INSIDE THE RING, ITS A HOCKEY FIGHT BETWEEN DIAMOND DIXON AND BEA VALENTINE! BOTH WOMEN EXCHANGING BLOWS AS WELL!
James Peters: BEA SENDS DIAMOND OUT THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE, AND CLIMBS OUT TO THE APRON, DIVING ONTO DIXON- CAUGHT! DIAMOND CAUGHT HER IN POSITION FOR A SPINEBUSTER, AND RAMS BEA BACK FIRST INTO THE RINGPOST!
(While those women brawl on the outside, Michael Machina enters the ring, and gestures for Ms. Extreme to bring it on. Camille looks around at the fans, who are loud, wanting Ms. Extreme and Michael Machina to fight. Ms. Extreme shrugs, and slides in the ring.)
Rich Russillo: MS. EXTREME OBLIGEES WITH MACHINA’S REQUEST, AND SLIDES IN THE RING, DOUBLE LEGGING HIM DOWN TO THE CANVAS! NOW, MS. EXTREME EXPLODES WITH RIGHTS AND LEFTS!
James Peters: MICHAEL MACHINA SHOVES HER OFF, AND PULLS HIMSELF UP IN THE CORNER- BUT MS. EXTREME IS STILL HOT ON HIS HEELS, DELIVERING MULTIPLE FOREARMS TO THE FACE!
Rich Russillo: MACHINA SHOVES HER AWAY, BUT MS. EXTREME CHARGES HIM ONCE AGAIN, HAMMERING HIM WITH THOSE FOREARMS IN THE CORNER!
James Peters: AGAIN, MICHAEL MACHINA SHOVES MS. EXTREME BACK, AND CAMILLE JUMPS AT MICHAEL MACHINA IN THE CORNER, ONLY TO GET CAUGHT OUT OF MID AIR!
Rich Russillo: UH OH! MICHAEL MACHINA SLAMS HER DOWN WITH A SPINEBUSTER! AND MOUNTS HER WITH PUNCHES!
(Michael Machina finishes punching Ms. Extreme repeatedly, and pulls the straps down as he goes over to the corner.)
James Peters: MICHAEL’S FIXING TO SPEAR MS. EXTREME OUT HER BOOTS AS WELL!
Rich Russillo: CAMILLE IS SLOWLY BEGINNING TO STIR, AND MICHAEL SHOOTS OUT OF THE CORNER! BULLET FROM HELL!
James Peters: NO! MS. EXTREME SIDESTEPS, AND MICHAEL HALTS HIMSELF FROM GOING FACE FIRST INTO THE MIDDLE TURNBUCKLE! MICHAEL SPINS AROUND-
Rich Russillo: LOW BLOW! MS. EXTREME WITH A KICK TO THE FAMILY JEWELS!
James Peters: THATS ONE WAY TO STOP MACHINA!
Rich Russillo: THE MACHINE DROPS TO BOTH KNEES, AND MS. EXTREME HAS INTENSITY IN HER EYES!
James Peters: LOOK AT THIS- OH MY GOD! MS. EXTREME IS REPEATEDLY RAMMING HER KNEE INTO THE FACE OF MICHAEL MACHINA!
Persephone: God, I heard a crunch.
Rich Russillo: MICHAEL MACHINA’S ALREADY BLEEDING FROM THE NOSE, BUT MS. EXTREME IS SHOWING NO SIGNS OF RELENTING! THAT MUAY THAI KNEE REPEATEDLY GOING INTO MACHINA’S POSSIBLY BROKEN NOSE!
James Peters: FINALLY, SECURITY ARE RUSHING DOWN, BUT THERE’S SO MUCH GOING ON RIGHT NOW!
Rich Russillo: A FEW SECURITY GUARDS SEPARATE MS. EXTREME FROM MICHAEL WHILE THE REST DEAL WITH THE REMAINING BRAWLS— BUT CAMILLE STILL MANAGES TO BREAK FREE FOR ONE LAST SOCCER KICK TO THE GUT OF A DOWNED MACHINA! ADDING INSULT TO INJURY AT THIS POINT!
(Ms. Extreme orders for security to get their hands off, stating she’s done, and approaches Machina in the center of the ring while he writhes in pain on the canvas, blood gushing from his nose.)
James Peters: My God, will this be the scene at Bloodsport? Ms. Extreme standing over Michael Machina?
Rich Russillo: Possibly. Ms. Extreme just showed how ruthless and barbaric she can truly be, and that’s what she’ll need to beat someone like Machina. With that being said, that’s all the time we have tonight.
Persephone: There wasn’t enough brawl. Did the security guards have to try and stop the other fights, too?
James Peters: Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for joining us as we bring this chaotic edition of Voltage to a close. Goodnight everybody!
(The final shot of Voltage is Ms. Extreme posing over a downed Michael Machina to a mixed reaction from fans, but a smirk firmly planted on her face. Security guards are swarming the ringside area, as well as making their way over the barricade to deal with the EAW World Championship match competitors, Specialists Championship match opponents, Diamond Dixon and Bea Valentine. With this final shot, Voltage fades to black.)
