(EAW intro plays.)
(Instead of starting with the usual opening recap that kicks off the show, Sunday Night Voltage, instead, quickly cuts to a shot of the backstage area of the RDS Arena in Dublin, Ireland, where the show is taking place tonight in front of a jam-packed crowd. While the murmur of the fans are heard in the background, the camera focuses on a line of security being seen breaking into the shot, rushing through the halls as we get a good look ahead to where a chaotic scene is seen which has been unfolding as the show gets underway. The security team seems to have been called to break up a situation that had been happening before cameras began to roll, with them trying to push someone away, and while doing so, a pool of blood began to trickle on the ground underneath them. While a portion of the group were tasked with containing the scene, others stayed back to check on the victim… which happened to be a bloodied Dray Fontana. Someone is seen standing over them as security tries their best to calm them down and make sure no more damage is done, and by the flowing blonde hair and womanly figure, it was easy to tell who was the culprit of such an attack.)
Bea Valentine: IT WASN’T ME!!! I SWEAR!!!
(Bea Valentine is seen standing over the bloody corpse of Dray, looking down at the mess that was apparently not her fault before holding her hands up, desperately trying to plead her innocence to the security team, even though it was very obvious what had happened here. What came of this situation had started to transpire these past couple of weeks on Voltage, with the two of them having problems starting after Bea beat Dray in Dray’s return match. And tonight, it all seemed to come to a head before their Unique Opportunity match at Bloodsport, with Bea blindsiding Dray backstage and beating him bloody, trying to take him out completely! But that’s not something that she’ll tell you herself, as she tries to beg that it isn’t her even though she is the only one at the scene of the crime. It all is made painfully obvious as something clangs to the ground, a member of security looking down in confusion.)
Security Personnel: :comeagain: Then what is that?
(Bea slowly looks down, seeing that the metal baseball bat that she used had accidentally slipped out of her hand and landed on the ground with a clang. It was painted crimson, splattered with Dray’s blood as it rolled away, leaving a trail while it did. As it stops against the wall, Bea looks up at them for a moment, eyes widened before quickly having a smile on her face as she tries to deescalate the situation.)
Bea Valentine: IT REALLY WASN’T ME!!!
Security: :francis:!!!
(Bea takes a moment to look around at the security that looks at her skeptically, and realizes that this situation is really not in her favor. She doesn’t want to be the one that looks like the bad guy at all, and knows that it would be in her best interest to make a run for it before it gets progressively worse for her. She tugs her imaginary collar as she looks up and down, then beginning to quickly shake her head.)
Bea Valentine: :lupe: Well just look at the time! Gotta go! I have a match to BEA READY for!
(At the snap of a finger, Bea pushes away from the security that is trying to keep her in place, as she breaks free and manages to sprint away from the scene of the crime and back to her locker room where she came from. All that’s left is the bloodied baseball bat that rolls to a stop away from the scene and an unconscious Dray who is in serious need of medical attention right about now. They look on and despite their confusion, have nothing that they are able to do right now but to tend to Dray until medical personnel are able to arrive and assess the situation. All that can be said for certain, is that this will be the last time that we see Dray Fontana in a long time. The hectic situation is the last shot seen before Sunday Night Voltage from there begins to transition over to regularly scheduled programming.)
(Voltage fades to the ring, and already in the ring is none other than the commissioner of Voltage, Captain Charisma! Captain Charisma is holding a microphone in his hand, and the fans are cheering wildly in the presence of the commissioner. It is not just Captain Charisma that’s inside of the ring however, and he’s not the only reason the fans are cheering. They’re also cheering because right next to Captain Charisma is the Bloodsport Wheel of Death, which has already been used to find out the stipulations for various matches at Bloodsport. Before long, Captain Charisma begins to speak with a smile on his face.)
Captain Charisma: Dublin, Ireland, welcome to Sunday Night Voltage! I can see you’re all excited to see this wheel out here, and I don’t blame you! This is the first Bloodsport since 2021 and ALREADY things have turned out to be very exciting! Thanks to the return of the Wheel of Death, we’ve had the opportunity to learn the stipulations for our Bloodsport matches, which will all undoubtedly deliver when the time comes! Championship matches such as Milli Banks versus Jamie Cross in a Taipei Deathmatch, TLA versus Charlie Marr in a Chamber of Blood and the EAW World Championship fatal four way in the Cage of Death all look incredible, and that’s not even mentioning all of the non title matches we have coming up! Roberto De La Rosa will face Mei Sasaki in a Fans Bring the Weapons match! Minerva faces Rex McAllister in Razorwire Hell, Jamie O’Hara and Jack Ripley see the return of Sadistic Madness, and we STILL have even more to offer!
(Loud cheers come from the crowd, and Captain Charisma continues as he takes a few steps closer to the wheel.)
Captain Charisma: Of course we still have matches that have yet to receive a stipulation, and that’s exactly why I’m here right now. By now you’re all familiar with the way we do things here on Voltage. Elitists will walk down the ramp and join me in the ring so they can spin the wheel and learn their fate at Bloodsport! We’ve already gone through a majority of the matches at the event, and the match we’ll be learning the stipulation of right now is bound to be one of the best matches of the year! We have two of the very best Elitists in the entire company facing off, and after these last few weeks I think we can all agree that things have become very personal. This isn’t just any match, this is a match between the former Universal Women’s Champion Dr. Bethany Blue and the Hall of Famer Cameron Ella Ava!
(Even more cheers come from the crowd, as the fans are excited for the upcoming match between Dr. Bethany Blue and Cameron Ella Ava, who are two of EAW’s best. Captain Charisma remains silent for a moment, allowing the cheers to continue as he seems to be looking forward to the match himself. After a while, the cheers begin to quiet down as the commissioner begins to speak once again.)
Captain Charisma: These two have done it all, and looking at this wheel I’m sure that we’ll be seeing a match fit for two Elitists on the level of Bethany and Cameron. We all know you’re not here just to hear me speak, so I won’t waste any more of your time. Instead, please join me in welcoming the two women who’ll be facing off at Bloodsport-
(Before Captain Charisma could even finish his sentence, ‘Good For Her’ by MOTHICA featuring emlyn hits. This causes a loud reaction to come from the crowd, one that’s filled with both cheers and boos. Cameron Ella Ava begins walking out, and when she does it’s clear from the look on her face that she hasn’t forgotten about the events of Voltage one week ago. Cameron is furious, and she begins walking down the ramp immediately, not paying any attention to neither the cheers nor the boos she’s receiving.)
James Peters: Cameron Ella Ava didn’t even wait for Captain Charisma to finish speaking, and I can’t say that I’m surprised by the look she has on her face right now! After all, she was on the receiving end of a nasty hammer shot from Dr. Bethany Blue, who cost her a match against TLA!
Rich Russillo: We know how heated things have become between these two, so I have to agree. Cameron looks like she’s ready to find out what her match stipulation will be, and so are the rest of us!
Persephone: I wonder if “triple threat with Rexy” is somewhere on that wheel. It’d be great if they landed on that.
James Peters: Rex already has a match.
Persephone: He can have two. He’s gonna squash Minerva in seconds anyway, I’d love to see him beat Cameron and the Doctor too.
(Cameron Ella Ava walks over to the timekeepers area, where she receives a microphone. After this she enters the ring, and as she turns towards Captain Charisma she wastes no time beginning to speak.)
Cameron Ella Ava: On any other night, I’d have no problem with the introductions. After all I’m a legend in this industry and I know I deserve to be treated as such… But that’s not what’s been happening recently. Instead I’m being made to look like a fool, and if Dr. Bethany Blue thinks that I’ll continue to sit here and tolerate any of this, she must have forgotten exactly who I am. We can save the theatrics for another time, right now I just want to make one thing clear. I’m not the right person to try and make a statement against. I’m not the right person to try and humiliate, and I’m not the right person to help you try and revitalize your career after losing your Championship back at Pain for Pride. If you wanted a stepping stone you made a big mistake because thanks to YOU Bethany, you’re going to be on the receiving end of yet another loss at Bloodsport. We already saw you dig your own grave back when you attacked Kassidy Heart before her match against Adam Lucas. This is going to be the final nail in the coffin.
(This causes a mixed reaction, and Cameron walks over to the wheel before continuing.)
Cameron Ella Ava: We don’t need to wait. Bethany will find out the stipulation regardless of whether or not she’s out here, and it’s not like it changes anything anyway. I know what I intend to do at Bloodsport, and it’ll be done regardless of the stipulation. All I need is the chance to get my hands on Bethany, and I don’t need to wait until Bloodsport to do that. Bethany has already seen what I can do, and I plan on doing far worse than wrecking her hand once I have the opportunity. I’m not sure who she thinks she is, or why she thinks she can get away with doing whatever she wants to an Elitist like me, an Elitist who had one of the most decorated careers EAW history, but Bethany WILL learn that I didn’t accomplish everything I have for no reason. I didn’t make it this far because I was lucky, or because she was never in the way. I’m going to succeed and live up to my words at the season regardless of whether or not Bethany is in my way, because some people are just that good. I earned my status as a Hall of Famer, as a legend, as one of the greatest of all time, and by the time this is all over Bethany won’t even think of ever getting in my way again.
(Cameron places her hand on the side of the wheel before turning towards Captain Charisma.)
Cameron Ella Ava: As far as this wheel is concerned, I’m letting you know right now that this is pointless. I’m not here to play some sort of game, and I’m definitely not here to entertain this spectacle. Dr. Bethany Blue started all of this almost an entire month ago and clearly seems to believe that none of her actions will have consequences and I’m going to be the reminder that she desperately needs. I’ll just go ahead and save everyone the ti-
(‘Somebody Get Me A Doctor’ by Van Halen suddenly hits, cutting off Cameron Ella Ava as she immediately turns towards the stage, seemingly ready for a potential fight. Dr. Bethany Blue begins walking down the ramp with a microphone of her own, and she doesn’t look impressed by what Cameron had to say. Dr. Bethany Blue receives a more negative reaction, but she basically brushes it off, beginning to speak halfway down the ramp.)
Dr. Bethany Blue: Cameron I understand you’re still suffering from the effects of that hammer hitting you in the head last week, but I’ve already made it clear that I know exactly what I’m doing here. This is no mistake, and I won’t regret a single one of my actions once Bloodsport is over. I decided to take you out and since I made that decision I have done exactly what I always do once I put my mind to something. I excelled. Even when you tried injuring my hand to get back at me I continued to excel, simply because I’m someone that actually cares about their work. I’m not just a role model for my talent, Cameron. I’m a role model because I care for these people. That’s why I did everything I could to try and free them from Kassidy Heart, and in return I’m mocked by someone who’s only in the ring right now for a paycheck.
(Dr. Bethany Blue walks up the steel steps, standing on the apron before continuing.)
Dr. Bethany Blue: I may not be the Universal Women’s Champion anymore but I’m clearly not capable of any less, so instead of picking and choosing when you want to strike and when you want to throw tantrums, you should cherish all the time you have left before it’s time for us to enter the ring with each other. Clearly the two of us have two different ideas of what mistakes are, so I’ll help you out. A mistake isn’t successfully leaving you on the mat, staring at the lights, a mistake is challenging an Elitist superior to you to a match you cannot win. Not only am I the better wrestler but I am the bigger threat. You’ve seen a fraction of how dangerous I can be and come Bloodsport you won’t be the only one looking to inflict far more punishment, enough to make these last few weeks look like child’s play. The difference is, I succeed where you fail. I was able to overcome your little attack just fine. It didn’t bother me one bit. Even a hand injury couldn’t stop me, but we’ve seen what happens once *I’m* given the chance to strike, haven’t we? Face it Cameron, you’d be better off sitting out of Bloodsport.
Cameron Ella Ava: You really think so?
Dr. Bethany Blue: I don’t just think so. After these last few weeks, it should be obvious. You don’t want to be in the ring with me. You don’t want to put yourself at risk the way you will be by facing me at Bloodsport. You don’t want to hurt your own career this early into the season. I personally can’t imagine thinking you made even a decent decision by challenging me.
(Cameron just shrugs, not bothered by what Bethany had to say as she turns her attention back to the wheel.)
Cameron Ella Ava: That’s fine if you think it was such a mistake. It was my decision to make, just like this is.
Dr. Bethany Blue: What are you doing?
(Cameron grabs the wheel and takes a quick look at all of the stipulations listed on it. Her eyes become fixated on one of them, and she pulls the wheel, only slightly spinning it and intentionally stopping it on the stipulation she found most interesting. A smirk appears on Cameron’s face as she turns towards Bethany.)
Cameron Ella Ava: I like the sound of this one. Our match will be a “Four Corners of Pain” match.
Dr. Bethany Blue: :comeagain: WHAT!?
(There are loud cheers from the fans in attendance, who are excited knowing this match now has a confirmed stipulation. Dr. Bethany Blue on the other hand is nowhere near as amused, and looks directly at Captain Charisma.)
Dr. Bethany Blue: Are you serious!? Four Corners of Pain, what type of match is that even supposed to be!?
Captain Charisma: 🤷♂️ Details to come!
Dr. Bethany Blue: Why are we competing in a match that’s still completely unknown!? We shouldn’t be allowed to compete in a match that’s a complete mystery to us, and SHE shouldn’t be able to walk out here on your show just to try and make things about herself! SHE DIDN’T EVEN SPIN THE WHEEL PROPERLY, YOU SAW HER YOURSELF! Is she really going to be allowed to do whatever she wants!? YOU are the commissioner of this brand, not her! She’s just another miserable name of the past, you need to take control of this show and-
Cameron Ella Ava: Just shut up and start preparing for Bloodsport. The end of your career is far sooner than you think, make sure you’re ready for it.
(Dr. Bethany Blue stares at Cameron Ella Ava, before turning back at Captain Charisma. She seems to be in a bit of disbelief over what just occurred, but after seeing the looks on their faces, Bethany’s frustration takes over and she just hops off the apron, beginning to walk up the ramp as she just shakes her head. On her way up the ramp however, Bethany turns around, looking at Cameron once more as she begins to speak.)
Dr. Bethany Blue: You’ll regret all of this soon enough. Your own son won’t recognize you by the time I’m done with you.
(This receives loud boos from the crowd, and Cameron Ella Ava watches on as Dr. Bethany Blue walks up the ramp, forced to contain her anger for now as her Bloodsport opponent makes her way to the back.)
James Peters: It looks like we now know which stipulation we’ll be seeing for the match between Dr. Bethany Blue and Cameron Ella Ava at Bloodsport!
Rich Russillo: Four Corners of Pain! This seems like an interesting match from the name alone, and with Bloodsport’s history I’m sure it’ll turn out to be a very scary stipulation. Of course, I’m sure that’s why Cameron picked it in the first place. She wants to hurt Bethany.
Persephone: Not the stipulation I was hoping for, but I guess you can’t go wrong with Bloodsport stipulations. I’m sure neither of them will return to Voltage in one piece, which is good enough for me.
(Captain Charisma and Cameron Ella Ava remain in the ring, and the camera shows one more shot of Dr. Bethany Blue walking to the back. From there, Voltage fades away from ringside and into a commercial break.)
(Promotional ad for Bloodsport, where Cameron Ella Ava faces Dr. Bethany Blue in Four Corners of Pain.)
( Sunday Night Voltage returns to the show after the opening segment, with the crowd now back in their seats. The lights, cameras, and everything are set and ready for the show to continue, and then ‘The World Is Mine’ by Mikey Rykus hits the PA system as the crowd reacts to the theme music with a mixed reaction. While the theme music is playing, Bella Braxton stands at the center of the ring with a microphone in her hand, announcing this match. )
Bella Braxton: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!
( The camera then pans from the ring to where Korey Gaines slowly walks out from behind the curtain up to the stage. Korey looks around with a bold face, nodding a little as he turns his attention towards the ring and continues making his way to it. )
Bella Braxton: INTRODUCING FIRST!… FROM OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLAHOMA!…. WEIGHING IN AT 170 POUNDS!… ‘THE EXTREME’ !!!!!!!!…. KOREYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY……. GAINESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!
James Peters: Korey Gaines is here, and he’s looking forward to gaining some momentum against his opponent, Ayu Megumi, here tonight, heading into the Bloodsport match against four other competitors, including Ayu. Despite not doing well lately, Korey still believes that he could win tonight to gain more confidence and perform at his best during Bloodsport, seizing the opportunity for a significant win and a unique chance to prove himself.
Persephone: But it’s Korey Gaines… should we really care about him? This guy has never been doing well in his whole life, and I’m not going to pretend to care about it.
( Korey goes into the ring as he begins warming up and takes off his leather jacket. Then, ‘LIKE IT! LOVE IT!’ by Setsuna Yuki hits the PA system, and the crowd suddenly explodes with cheers. Ayu Megumi makes her way out with a big smile on her face, looking happy to see the crowd before her expression turns into a serious mood as she gazes at Korey while striding toward the ring. )
Bella Braxton: HIS OPPONENT!… FROM OKINAWA, JAPAN!… WEIGHING IN AT 115 POUNDS!… ‘THE AMAZING GIRL’ !!!!!!!!!… AYUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!…. MEGUMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!
Rich Russillo: IT’S THE AMAZING GIRL! Ayu has always been a fan favorite and receives a well-deserved positive reaction from the crowd all around the world. She has always been one of the best babyfaces that we have ever had in the history of EAW, and she’s looking to gain some momentum heading into her Bloodsport match against Korey Gaines.
Persephone: Yeah, okay, Amazing Girl, but nothing has ever been amazing about her. She’s one of the most boring and corniest babyfaces I have ever seen in my entire life, so I will never feel entertained watching her appear on my screen. Let’s be real.
Rich Russillo: Hey come on, don’t say about Ayu like that!
Persephone: Okay calm down, she doesn’t know you like that.
( DING DING DING! )
James Peters: It’s the first bloodsport preview match of the night! Korey Gaines will be taking on Ayu Megumi as we are about to find out now who will gain the momentum most and come out on top! These two are also going to face each other again soon inside the Unique Opportunity match alongside four others: Valerie Hellstorm, Mr. Wrestling XIX, Bea Valentine, and Dray Fortana at Bloodsport this year. Both competitors are highly confident heading into this match to face each other and determine who’s stronger heading into their Bloodsport match.
Rich Russillo: Ayu has always been waiting to elevate her own career, so it’s no doubt she has to set her bar higher than Korey’s in this match and her Bloodsport match as well. Korey has always been confident in every match he’s competing, as confidence is not really a new thing for him. Korey knows how to handle his own business well, and this is simply another one of the business matters that he must handle within the palms of his hands. Both elitists now come across each other at the center of the ring, and now they start getting this match underway with a collar and elbow tie-up!
James Peters: Korey somehow doesn’t hold the same idea! Delivering a kick to her gut, Korey clutches her wrist and sends her flying toward the ropes. Ayu bounces off, and Korey looks for another kick across her face! Ayu ducks underneath as Korey swings and misses. Ayu runs towards the ropes, bouncing off and going for a Slingblade! Korey has already been taken down!
Persephone: No way this dude just got taken down way before he starts doing any damage to his opponent. This is why I’m doubting if he can even wrestle at this point?
James Peters: I think he can, Persephone. Ayu just needs as much advantage as possible in this match right now. Korey is being sent down to the outside as he rolls down to the concrete floor. Ayu has her target locked in tightly, and now jumping across the ropes, both feet landing on the apron, and Korey is just now back to his feet when Ayu was there… CANNONBALL OFF THE APRON, TAKING KOREY DOWN!
Rich Russillo: Oh wow! Look at Ayu go, she’s already on fire in this match! Ayu picks Korey up and sends him back inside the ring, hopping up to the apron and now waiting for Korey to get back to his feet. Korey, who just got taken down by Ayu’s Cannonball, is now trying to come back slowly, turning his attention back to his opponent. Ayu seizes the rope and launches herself back into the ring… SPRINGBOARD MISSILE DROPKICK CONNECTS! AYU SCORING AGAIN!
James Peters: Wait, could Ayu be looking to end this sooner? She seems like she’s setting something big up already!
Persephone: Will Korey Gaines ever fight her back is a better question.
Rich Russillo: Ayu drops herself back into the corner and has her eyes locked tightly on her target from behind! Korey slowly rises up from the Springboard Missile Dropkick with Ayu spreading her right arm out there. Ayu’s face shows the excitement of finishing this match off already, and now she bursts out of the corner at full throttle!… ‘ISEKAI’ SWINGING BACK ELBOW EXECUTES!
James Peters: Woah, woah! That was close! Very, very close! Korey luckily saw it coming, and he just ducked underneath! Ayu’s swinging back elbow misses as she swings it through the air, now turning back around and running towards another attempt, but from the front this time! Korey kips up to both feet, and a Step-Up Jumping Knee just catches her in the mid-run! Korey gains his speed and catches her off guard there!
Persephone: Oh, there we go, taking him long enough to figure out a way to fight back.
Rich Russillo: Ayu staggers back from the impact of the knee coming straight into her nose there! Ayu ends up leaning against the ropes with Korey pushing himself off the ground again. He runs towards her, and Ayu is being sent over the ropes by a big clothesline! Ayu is down on the floor!
James Peters: Korey managed to pick up the pace, and now he has Ayu down on the outside, perfectly setting up for something crazy here. The Extreme may be looking to throw some more high-flying display there. Ayu has her hands on the edge of the apron now pushing herself up to both feet. Korey commences to run towards her, and she’s looking for a Suicide dive to take down Ayu Megumi!
Rich Russillo: Sliding back inside the ring, Ayu runs towards Korey and takes him down with a quick Running Big Boot! Korey finds himself in the corner. Ayu’s focus follows wherever he goes; she runs against him and tries to attack him while he’s down in the corner. Korey intercepts, sending her over the ropes, and Ayu lands on the apron again. Korey turns back around and tries to send her off the apron, but Ayu catches his arm, delivering a Step-Up Enzuigiri from the apron, sending Korey stumbling back inside the ring!
Persephone: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/2e/dc/c9/2edcc99ff67ee09c3f6c38a040d0c5e3.gif
James Peters: Korey’s nose takes a kick straight out of Japan there, having him holding his nose, and Ayu has herself down on the apron again. Ayu now begins heading up to the top corner while Korey is still dazed and stunned in the ring. Ayu already has her target weakened, and she’s ready to punch her ticket for another flight there!…. MOONSAULT!… WAIT, KOREY CATCHES HER ON HIS SHOULDER, BUT AYU SWINGS HERSELF AND TURNS IT INTO HER OWN TORNADO DDT! DOWN GOES KOREY GAINES! COVER ON HIM!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Persephone: Oh wow, Korey knows how to kick out too! How professional!
James Peters: Korey just kicked out at 2! The combination of Moonsault and DDT is still far from enough to put Korey Gaines down. Ayu is trying to do a lot of offense in this match and reach the end of this match as soon as possible to prove that she can finish the job quicker. Ayu delivers a quick punch across Korey Gaines, picking him up off the ground and sending him flying towards the ropes again. Ayu runs in and takes Korey down by his leg with a Dropkick attempt, but it’s countered. She rolls back to her feet and looks for a One Foot Dropkick at Korey while he is down on both knees!
Rich Russillo: Korey moves out of the way as Ayu jumps into the air and launches herself for the ground! Korey rolls Ayu over and now goes for a quick cover on her in the Jackknife pin style! Looking to steal it there!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Rich Russillo: Ayu kicks out at two as well!
James Peters: Korey, at least, has a better chance of getting back on his feet as soon as possible. Ayu scrambles all the way to her feet and tries to regain her composure, running towards Korey. She runs right into the Spin Kick across her face! Korey cocks his right heel and delivers a quick Superkick to Ayu this time!
Persephone: Korey relies heavily on kicks…. Does he only know how to do one move? Does he know how to punch or use other techniques? Like deadass, he’s the guy who’s making every single kicking maneuver so corny.
Rich Russillo: Korey now grabs Ayu and tosses her feet up upon the third rope, with himself having Ayu in his grasp… ROPE-HUNG SWINGING NECKBREAKER BY KOREY GAINES! Ayu has been taken down, and Korey rolls back to his feet, heading straight up to the top corner right after taking her down! Ayu remains down on the ground, while Korey is already up there, preparing to spread his wings and fly off!… DIVING MOONSAULT ON AYU! KOREY WITH A COVER ON HER!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THRE-
James Peters: AYU KICKS OUT AGAIN!
Rich Russillo: Ayu is still far from giving up in this match, while Korey just managed to land a big shot on her. Korey, too, has yet to hit the final nail in the coffin on Ayu. So, he may be planning to do something much bigger than that to ensure he finishes this match of fighting with Ayu staying down for good and admitting her defeat. Korey is going to handle her tonight. He needs more confidence and trust heading into the Bloodsport match as he surely wants to fight and prove that he still has what it takes to win his Bloodsport match.
Persephone: Both suck so nobody cares, actually.
James Peters: Korey picks Ayu off the ground and begins dragging her into the corner, holding her hair in the palms of his hand. Korey now has Ayu leaning against the corner before delivering a huge chop across her chest! Korey backs away and starts raining down roundhouse kicks on Ayu! The kicks keep coming, and Ayu might be finished soon if she can’t resist them!
Rich Russillo: Korey stops kicking and starts stomping on Ayu while he’s at it! Ayu isn’t going to catch a break at the moment with Korey making sure she stays down and is unable to gain any advantage in this competition. Korey backs away and runs right back at Ayu, jumping in and delivering a back elbow while she’s downed. Korey then drags her out of the corner and a sickening discus forearm leaves Ayu in dire strai-
James Peters: BICYCLE KICK TO THE ARM!… SUPERMAN PUNCH KNOCKS KOREY OUT! Korey is still on his feet, but he’s walking around the ring like a drunken man who doesn’t know his direction or his home at the moment! Ayu backs into the corner, and he charges at him once again… DISCUS LARIAT TURNS KOREY INSIDE OUT!
Persephone: What a dumbass.
Rich Russillo: Korey turns back around and catches a glimpse of it just in time, ducking underneath and rolling, using Ayu’s momentum to roll her up! He’s going to steal it once again!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Persephone: THREE!
Rich Russillo: AYU KICKS OUT IN THE NICK OF TIME!
Persephone: Can I just leave already?
James Peters: Ayu bounces back to her feet with Korey holding down his chin and charging at her after taking a Superman Punch from Ayu! Ayu seizes the moment, catching the running Korey by the horns, and goes for a lariat once again! KOREY RUNS RIGHT INTO THE LARIAT TO FLIP HIMSELF UNDER THE ARM! WHAT ON EARTH? HOW DID HE EVEN MANAGE THAT FEAT? KOREY STRIKES FROM THE SHADOWS WITH A SUPERKICK TO THE SIDE OF AYU’S HEAD, LEAVING HER ONE EAR RINGING LIKE A CHURCH BELL! KOREY STEPS BACK, AND WITH PINPOINT PRECISION, DELIVERS A BACK HEEL KICK TO THE BACK OF HER SKULL THIS TIME!
Rich Russillo: AYU IS DOWN AGAIN, BUT KOREY IS NOT LETTING HER OFF THE HOOK JUST YET! KOREY PICKS HER OFF THE GROUND WITH HIS GRIN, STARING HER DOWN AS IF SHE WERE A CORNERED PREY. AYU STANDS HER GROUND, THANKS TO KOREY’S EARLIER ASSISTANCE, AND NOW KOREY HEADS TOWARDS THE CORNER, SPRINGS OFF THE TOP TURNBUCKLE, AND HE’S AIMING FOR THE ‘OKIE CUTTER’ TOP ROPE SPRINGBOARD CUTTER AS HIS FINAL BLOW!
James Peters: HOLY SMOKE! ‘RYO NO IKARI’ ROCKS THE BACK OF KOREY’S HEAD RIGHT IN THE MID-AIR! A MASSIVE SUPERKICK BY AYU SHUTS HIM DOWN! AYU DROPS RIGHT INTO THE COVER!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THREE-
Rich Russillo: NO! NO! BUT CLOSE! HE KICKS OUT! KOREY GAINES KICKS OUT! AYU ALMOST HAS IT!
Persephone: What are you the way you are?
James Peters: I thought that was it as well, Rich! Ayu really hit Korey hard with that crazy Superkick; it seemed like it could be the end of it all, but Korey miraculously survived to fight another day! Luckily, he kicked out just before the referee’s hand hit the mat for the count of two! However, Ayu is getting even more fired up now as she knows she has a bigger chance to finish this match sooner or later!
Rich Russillo: Ayu returns to both feet and charges straight into the corner again; she has Korey under her scope, with Korey still trying to get back to both knees, but Ayu is running on pure adrenaline! Korey isn’t even fully recovered from that Superkick!… ‘ISEKAI’ SWINGING BACK ELBOW TO THE BACK OF HIS HEAD!
Persephone: :mjlol: SHE MISSES!
Rich Russillo: KOREY DUCKS UNDERNEATH AGAIN! KOREY TRIES TO THRUST HIMSELF BACK AT AYU WITH HIS OWN SUPERKICK, BUT AYU MANAGES TO CATCH THE LEG, TURNING HIM AROUND, AND KOREY UNWITTINGLY WALKS RIGHT INTO A STEP-UP ENZUIGIRI THAT SENDS HIM STAGGERING BACKWARD! AYU IS STUNNED BUT QUICK ON HER FEET. KOREY ROLLS HER UP FROM BEHIND, ATTEMPTING A SNEAKY MANEUVER, BUT AYU COUNTERS BY EXECUTING AN ARM DRAG, SENDING KOREY FLYING IN FRONT OF HER! KOREY GETS BACK TO HIS FEET IN AN INSTANT AND CHARGES TOWARD AYU, BUT SHE REDIRECTS HIM TOWARD THE ROPES… A LIGHTNING-FAST GERMAN SUPLEX SENDS KOREY FLYING THROUGH THE AIR, BUT HE MANAGES TO LAND BOTH FEET ON THE GROUND!
James Peters: BOTH KOREY AND AYU LAND ON THE GROUND, AND HE IMMEDIATELY RETALIATES BY SENDING AYU FLYING TO THE CANVAS WITH A HURRICANRANA! DOWN GOES AYU, ROLLING DOWN TO THE GROUND DUE TO THE FORCE OF KOREY’S SKILLFUL MOVE! KOREY IS BARELY BACK ON HIS FEET, AND HE TUMBLES FORWARD INTO THE CORNER. HE GLANCES BACK AROUND, SEEING AYU STARTING TO RISE AS WELL. KOREY CHARGES OFF HIS CORNER, LOOKING TO STRIKE AYU AND SET UP FOR HIS FINISHING MOVE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! AYU STAYS ONE STEP AHEAD, SNEAKING UP BEHIND KOREY AND GRABBING HOLD OF HIS WRIST… RIPCORD KNEE STRIKE ROCKS HIS JAW!
Rich Russillo: KOREY FALLS, RIGHT INTO THE KNEE STRIKE FROM AYU, BUT AYU IS STILL REELING FROM THE EXCHANGE! AYU BACKS AWAY AND DELIVERS ANOTHER KNEE, LEAVING KOREY’S TEETH FLYING OFF HIS MOUTH! AYU GRABS KOREY AND IMMEDIATELY PUTS HIM TO SLEEP WITH A QUICK SNAP DDT! KOREY IS DOWN! OH MY GOD, AYU MAY BE WINNING THIS ONE, GUYS!
Persephone: Okay. Yay. She’s going to win. Look, please just end this match. :wow:
James Peters: AYU IS ALREADY ON THE TOP ROPE, AND SHE’S GOING FOR THE ‘LEAP’ MOONSAULT! AYU LAUNCHES HERSELF OFF, AND KOREY IS STILL DOWN ON THE GROUND!
Rich Russillo: WOAH! KOREY MOVES OUT OF HARM’S WAY AT THE LAST SECOND, SENDING AYU LANDING ON BOTH FEET TO THE GROUND! KOREY POPS BACK TO HIS FEET, ATTEMPTING TO SEND AYU TO HEAVEN WITH THE ‘FROGGY FOOTSTOMP’ MUSHROOM FOOT STOMP!
James Peters: AYU SIDESTEPS ONCE AGAIN, AND KOREY ENDS UP STOMPING THE GROUND INSTEAD! KOREY MISSES THE MARK, AND AYU SEIZES THE OPPORTUNITY TO ROLL HIM UP FROM BEHIND, SENDING HIM ROLLING BACK TO HIS FEET!… ‘ETHEREAL BLADE’ ! CLAYMORE KICK SHUTS KOREY DOWN! SHE GOES FOR A COVER!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
( DING DING DING! )
Bella Braxton: HERE IS YOUR WINNER!… AYU MEGUMI!
Rich Russillo: What an AMAZING win by Ayu Megumi! Ayu brought the match together with Korey, and we have already seen some great opening contests kicking off Sunday Night Voltage here tonight! This already makes me look forward to the Bloodsport match ahead!
Persephone: Well I’m just glad it’s over.
( ‘LIKE IT! LOVE IT!’ by Setsuna Yuki begins playing as Ayu Megumi rises to her feet and revels in her victory over Korey Gaines, while Korey rolls down to the outside, nursing his jaw, and makes a beeline for the back. Meanwhile, Ayu keeps raising her arm and basking in the glory of her triumph as the scene fades into a commercial break. )
(Promotional ad for Reckless Wiring, where Limmy Monaghan faces Bronson Daniels in a World Heavyweight Championship match.)
(The Voltage broadcast begins to return as we cut to a camera angle raised high, pointing down at the entire RDS arena, the Dublin Ireland crowd already in tune for what’s about to happen. The camera cuts to a hardcam shot, as we see an entirely empty ring, as the camera angle slowly pans back, revealing more and more than just the ring. Eventually, we hear a voice speak up through the speaker systems.)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome… THE VOLTAGE COMMISSIONER….
(The Voltage broadcast begins to shake as the crowd cheers louder than they ever did, upon hearing Bella…)
Bella Braxton: CAPTAIIIIIN CHARISMAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!
(Said cheers never falter, as a matter of fact, they only grow as Captain Charisma walks out through the curtains. With a microphone in hand, dressed in a turtleneck and beige jeans, he begins to make his way down the ramp as he heads straight to the ring. Captain Charisma slowly comes to a stop as he arrives at the bottom of the ramp, the metal at the bottom signifying the end of it, just mere inches away from the apron, as he slowly turns left. High fiving one or two fans who paid their hard earned money to come and see his show, eventually he meets the steel steps, and walks up them one by one. Now standing on the ring apron, Captain Charisma enters the ring, slowly making his way to the very center of it, as he raises his microphone.)
Captain Charisma: Ladies and Gentlemen, we are just two weeks away from the Voltage exclusive marquee event, Bloodsport. We have one of the greatest cards in a long time lined up for you guys, a card that will surely be able to trump each and every single Bloodsport prior to this one. We truly are capable of seeing one of the greatest events in a long time. After all, Voltage is all about one-upping what we do last. Not only is that why we have earned the violent reputation that we have, it’s why we’ve earned a reputation of having the best roster, the best events, so on and so forth. We intend to increase this reputation by the time Bloodsport comes around! However, we don’t just have Bloodsport to look forward to. We have so much more. Not too long after Bloodsport, we have our annual Territorial Invasion marquee. The first tri-brand marquee of the season, where we take a small glimpse into which brand truly is the best following the creation of the season; the roster, the drive, the motivation. Not everyone is fighting for brand supremacy, yet the very essence of it is that in of itself, and I’m not intending to lose. Not in the slightest.
(Captain Charisma takes a pause, before he continues to speak.)
Captain Charisma: Now, when it comes to this event, I like to make sure my stars are in tip top shape. I like to make sure my brand is in tip top shape. As we’ve seen in recent years, the best of the best on our roster is always the ones that compete in our annual three-on-three-on-three and I don’t intend on changing that any time soon. As a matter of fact, I am doubling down. Bloodsport is a stacked event, and Bloodsport is going to set the standard going into the season. So much so that Territorial Invasion is going to be affected massively. Jamie O’Hara versus Jack Ripley is quite literally one of the most major matches we have seen in a very long time. Outside of the Extreme Elimination Chamber they competed in, the last time they faced on marquee, one-on-one, was almost three years ago to the date, the first marquee of the season for their brand, Midsummer Massacre; this is being replicated here. However, I understand that a match of this magnitude needs stakes. Not just that personal drive between the two of them that is destined to create one of the best matches we have seen in quite some time.
Captain Charisma: The two of them are going to get something a little more… interesting to drive their each and every move. They’re going to get a little bit of bounce to each and every one of their steps. Because the winner won’t just be winning some personal grudge, something that I have no doubt in of itself is driving these two to compete at the absolute best of their abilities, unrivaled greatness. However, the winner of this match is going to win something entirely different alongside it. An opportunity so many would kill for, an opportunity that so many are just itching to have knowing the Territorial Invasion event is just a few weeks away… that opportunity?
(Captain Charisma pauses, as he waits to deliver his speech. Eventually, he speaks up…)
Captain Charisma: The winner of Jack Ripley versus Jamie O’Hara at Voltage’s exclusive marquee event, Bloodsport, will walk out not just the winner, proving their own ideals right, but also… THE TEAM CAPTAIN OF TERRITORIAL INVASION’S WARGAMES MATCH!
(The crowd would immediately cheer, knowing that this is the most hyped up event of the entire marquee. The main event, the big match the entire card builds to. Not only is this personal grudge building to that huge conclusion, their tensions spiking, but this personal grudge match is also going to determine how the main event of territorial invasion is shaped. They can’t help but cheer.
Captain Charisma: That’s right. War Games is BACK! I know that this is fitting. Not just for my roster, but for them. Perhaps a match showcasing two of the finest wrestlers in the history of this sport, determining the main event of the first tri-marquee of the season, is exactly what we need to spice things up. The winner, proving their dominance over the other, will then get an opportunity to prove their overall, season-long dominance at Territorial Invasion!
(The crowd cheers once more, as a smile forms upon Captain Charisma’s face. However, his announcement wouldn’t be the last thing to close this segment, as ‘Bounce Back’ by Big Sean would begin to blare through the speaker system. The crowd immediately cheers, as Jack Ripley’s theme song starts to play throughout the entire arena, and his graphics replace the yellow logo loop on the titantron displaying Voltage’s. The Straight Shooter himself eventually begins to make his way out of the curtains, a microphone already in hand, as the crowd’s reaction only is enhanced by his appearance, despite knowing that he was going to appear anyway. He begins to make his way down the ramp, as he appears intrigued by Captain Charisma’s announcement, eventually making his way up the steel steps and entering the ring to let him know so. His theme song starts to fade out, as Jack raises his microphone.)
Jack Ripley: To be honest, I can’t help but find myself a little surprised. Maybe I shouldn’t be. Maybe I should be expected to sit here all stoic, knowing that my match with Jamie was going to lead to bigger open doors later on, which of course I had envisioned regardless, but I was so laser focused on beating Jamie, and how to beat Jamie – I had never expected it to be a match of this proportion. However, this is no doubt a good thing. This doesn’t take away from the match at all, if anything, it adds to it. It adds to the match entirely, as not only is my main drive the personal feelings I have for Jamie and he has for me, but I have that extra boost behind me. I have more reason to win. I have more reason to come out on top, beat The Ace, and start my season better than anyone would have ever expected. I know what it’s like to represent my brand at Territorial Invasion. I know the burden it is, and I know what the reward for coming out on top is. I know all of that, and I am no doubt ready.
Jack Ripley: I’m ready to start my season differently to how my career ever was last time, and a match like this is the exact way to do it. Beating Jamie O’Hara, someone hailed by many people as the greatest of all time, in a match that is so personal, so driven, in of itself does exactly what I want it to. But knowing that right after it, I can win a match that is so illustrious, a match that is one of the pillars this company is built on; the main event of one of EAW’s greatest shows… I know I have to do this. I know I have to come out on top. I know that there is going to be no stopping me at Bloodsport, and absolutely no stopping me at Territorial Invasion, as the season will entail Jack Ripley finally beating whatever doubt that so many people have had for him. CC, you have absolutely no idea how motivated I am now. You might have a general idea of it, but you don’t know. If there is any opportunity whatsoever that means I rise further up the ranks, further than I EVER was before, it’s this one.
Jack Ripley: I know what I have to do to get there first, though. I know that it won’t be easy, perhaps even the most difficult match of my entire life. But I’m ready to defeat Jamie O’Hara at Bloodspor- MORE than ready to defeat Jamie O’Hara at Bloodsport. I’m ready to take my opportunity and fucking crush it.
(The crowd cheers, as Jack Ripley finishes his monologue… before ‘Kashmir’ by Led Zeppelin hits the speakers, and the entire aura changes. The crowd reaction cheers a different kind of cheer, and Jack Ripley’s entire stature changes. It’s obvious that he just wants to turn around, charge up the ramp, and beat Jamie to a pulp – however he doesn’t. He keeps his cool, holds his composure, as Jamie O’Hara makes his way out through the curtains. He walks down the ramp, his leather jacket popped, as he makes his way to the steel steps. Going up them one after another after another, he enters the ring, a grin on his face. ‘Kashmir’ eventually fades out.)
Jamie O’Hara: This is interesting, CC. Truly. This is very interesting. Even without what I know about the man that stands to my left, this match interests me a great deal. Fact is, though, this gets innately more interesting because you put any stock in Jack Ripley. The entire idea of Jack Ripley leading a team is an idea that I’m not even willing to entertain. Not only is it a recipe for disaster, much akin to his entire career, it’d be like picking a sword over a gun. A blade over humanity’s most lethal weapon. Sure. Maybe, and maybe is the best I’m giving him; maybe Jack could do the job right. That’s a hyperbolic maybe, but maybe it’s possible. As it’s not hard to stab someone, right? It’s not hard to slice someone, right? Yet in comparison to someone like me, Jack Ripley just isn’t up to par. No one would follow his lead. They’d follow mine in a heartbeat. I’m the exact name everyone would want to follow. Not to brag or toot my own horn or anything, not that I have a problem with that; there’s a reason why I’m The Ace and he isn’t.
Jamie O’Hara: And, because of that, I’m not like him. This doesn’t rudimentarily change this entire matchup for me. It doesn’t flip it on its head. It doesn’t change anything, really. I was always going to beat him. Regardless of what was to come next, regardless of what was to follow. This opportunity could even have led to nothing. I’d have beaten him. Now I just know what I’ll be doing after I win. Leading Voltage to a victory that Jack Ripley just couldn’t fathom. Much like I did last time I competed at this event. Now, Jack – and I will detail this to you entirely – the desire you have to win this match just pales in comparison to who I am. Sure, you might believe that going into this match with a stoic stature, a calm demeanor, but that boiling rage inside of you that can be unleashed at any moment, coupled with the belief that you NEED this win; it may give you that false sense of security, knowing that you can topple whatever I throw at you. But you can’t. You’ve had weeks to see this for yourself. You know what you’re capable of, right? You shouldn’t be surprised when you fail.
(Jack Ripley stares at Jamie, trying his best to hold himself back.)
Jack Ripley: No, Jamie. You’re deluding yourself. I want you to remember each and every word. So I can rip it out of your mouth and hold it against you. You’re making the biggest mistake of your career.
(Jamie would chuckle.)
Jamie O’Hara: Is that so? I look forward to seeing it some day.
(Jamie would stare Jack Ripley down, looking to burn a hole through him, but Jack refuses. He stands his ground, as the two initiate a staredown. The tension only rises, something you could cut with a knife, as the two go face-to-face. Eventually, though, Voltage fades into a commercial break.)
(Commercial promoting the new series “My Adventures With Superman”, featuring known Superman fan Chris Elite.)
( Sunday Night Voltage transitions back into the ring as ‘El Gavilan’ would blast through the P.A System as Roberto De La Rosa emerges from the curtains and onto the stage here on Sunday Night Voltage! Roberto would be seen wearing a custom designed suit, with green and black color scheme over it. He’s also wearing some shades as he holds on to his 24/7 Contract that’s with him. He looks around in the arena before he makes his way to the ring. )
Bella Braxton: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN…PLEASE WELCOME AT THIS TIME… THE CURRENT 24/7 CONTRACT HOLDER, AND THE LEADER OF LA FAMILIA… ROBERTO DE LA ROSSSAAAA!
James Peters: Roberto De La Rosa is coming off a loss against Donovan Duke who he had an incredible back and forth match with last week. The current 24/7 Contract Holder certainly put up a fight over Donovan but it just wasn’t enough to defeat him last week.
Rich Russillo: Roberto now has to look towards Bloodsport as he’ll go one on one against Mei Sasaki in a Fans Bring the Weapons match! Mei last week tried to get under Roberto’s skin and let him know she’s looking to break out at the expense of ‘El Padrastro’. Then obviously we saw Roberto’s wife come out and attack Mei with a steel chair to her back! Roberto must have been one proud husband when Esmeralda did that.
Persephone: I’m sure he was, I’m just more upset at the weapons Mei previewed on her OnlyFans. It was all pretty mid.
( Roberto makes his way down the aisle as he gets a mixed reaction from the audience, more leaning towards the boo side as Roberto gets a smile on his face. He marches down to the ring, then walks up the steel steps, and enters through the ropes. Roberto would get a microphone from the ring side official, as he stands in the middle of the ring holding to his contract. The crowd reaction would simmer down as Roberto begins to speak. )
Roberto De La Rosa: Mei, Mei, Mei… What happened to you last week was the consequences of your actions. You didn’t have to deal with me, Mei, you didn’t have to deal with all of this because you could have just sat in the back and picked someone else to raise your stock. I told you when you first wanted to interfere in my career when I faced off against Bea Valentine that you weren’t just messing with El Padrasto, you were messing with my entire La Famila! It’s not just me you have to worry about puta, it’s everyone in my familia. You had to endure what my lovely, beautiful wife Emseralda did to you last week with that chair to your espalda. Ruthless attack that was justified not only for myself but for the people I care for.
( Roberto takes a second to collect his thoughts for a few moments as he continues on. )
Roberto De La Rosa: They weren’t going to sit there and let you get away with it, Mei. Ruining my cash-in attempts, delaying my crowning achievement as rightful champion here in Elite Answers Wrestling. This was your own doing Mei, and now you’re getting the receipt for your actions. You’re clearly trying to embarrass me, humiliate me like I’m some dumb perro. Come Bloodsport Mei, when the fans bring the weapons for me to use on you, you’ll be the one that’s embarrassed. You’ll be the one that’s humiliated Mei because you’re gonna regret every time you tried to use me as a stepping stone for your career. You’re going to regret all of it and after our match, you can show off the beating you took courtesy of El Artista Del Dolor on your OnlyFans.
( Before Roberto could say anything else, he would soon be interrupted… )
???: Hey! Hey!
( Roberto looks around confused on who just said that, as everyone in the arena looks towards the titantron as we see Mei Sasaki in the backstage area! The crowd cheers for her as she looks to be wearing her street attire, wearing a leather jacket and jeans. Mei begins talking to Roberto as she says… )
Mei Sasaki: Hi Roberto, I hear you! I hear you loud and clear! The thing is though you seem to be missing some details as to why we’re in this situation to begin with. Let me remind you what those details are exactly. All I really did was just challenge you, that was it. I challenged you because you had just won the 24/7 Battle Royal at Pain for Pride, and had a lot of momentum. Of course I would want to test my skills against someone who had just gotten a big victory and now has an opportunity for a title of his choosing. However, what you said to me the first time I confronted you was that you disrespected me and brushed me off as if I was nothing. You said you had other business to attend to, that you were looking for ‘bigger’ competition than me.
Mei Sasaki: I was never going to let you make a fool out of me Roberto, I wasn’t going to let you do that. You made it seem like I wasn’t worth your time, when all I wanted from you was a match and nothing else but you were the one that had thrown shade my way. So I had no choice but to get involved in your match with Bea, or when I stopped you from cashing in on TLA. Those were things that I had to do because you threw me under the bus the second I issued that challenge. I’m not going to let anyone think they can just walk all over me, and get away with it. Bloodsport will be the perfect setting for us to finally settle it out Roberto. Fans Bring The Weapons will certainly be fun for me, and I hope it will be fun for you too because undermining me at the start of this season is going to be a massive mistake for you, and at Bloodsport you’ll realize that. Just like the person who attacked me last week with that steel chair…
( Roberto looks confused as to what Mei meant by that as Mei Sasaki moves away from the camera, as it’s revealed that Roberto’s wife Emseralda has been laid out on the floor. She looks unconscious as Roberto looks quite pissed at seeing that visual. Mei moves back into the camera as she holds a steel chair of her own. )
Mei Sasaki: Do you see that, Roberto? That’s the woman you love so much out on the floor because you had her do your dirty work and attack me. She decided to take me out and now I’m doing the same. The same thing can go for the rest of your famila because I’ll take them out too if I have to. This is what happens when you try to make an example out of me, with your wife out dead cold. I hope you’re ready for our match in two weeks Roberto, these fans will love me more than they love you. They’ll have the right weapons for me of course, and whatever weapon I have it will be a painful experience for you Mr. 24/7. So get Diego and Javier into witness protection, they aren’t safe from me because they’ll get the same thing Esmeralda got tonight. OnlyFans is going to have a lot of fun when I beat your ass in Copenhagen, see you soon.
( The video cuts off as Roberto looks to be distraught over what he just saw moments ago. He argues with someone outside the ring… )
Roberto De La Rosa: (off-mic) How the hell did she attack her?? I thought she was a safe cabron. This is bullshit!
( Roberto would quickly roll out of the ring as he starts make his way to the back. )
James Peters: What an interesting development we just saw, Mei Sasaki laying out Roberto’s wife backstage! I have to admit, considering what she did last week to Mei Sasaki, I’m not surprised Mei would do that to get some payback.
Rich Russillo: Yeah, definitely for sure. Roberto looked pretty distraught when he saw his wife laid out backstage, and unconscious to what I assume was a steel chair attack, the same one she gave to Mei last week. You would have to wonder if that’s going to impact Roberto’s mind as he heads for the collision course against Mei Sasaki at Bloodsport.
Persephone: It’s clear to me Roberto isn’t a great husband to his wife who had been laid out cold. Only man that can be husband material is sexy Rexy and no one else. Mei just straight up mauled Roberto’s wife, that’s crazy.
( The final shot would see Roberto quickly marching his way from the ring to the back as he looks stressed about the situation, and what Mei did to Esmeralda. Sunday Night Voltage would fade away as we transition over into a commercial. )
(Promotional ad for Bloodsport, where TLA defends the Hardcore Championship against Charlie Marr in a Chamber of Blood.)
(‘Bubbly’ by Young Thug is heard playing as Voltage returns to ringside, and Bella Braxton is seen with a microphone while Champagne Charlie sits at the commentary table.)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen… The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!
Bella Braxton: Introducing first… PLEASE WELCOME CHAMPAGNE CHARLIE!!!!
James Peters: Charlie, thank you for joining us tonight as your Bloodsport opponent TLA goes up against Michael S. Connor.
Champagne Charlie: I wouldn’t miss this match for anything. As disappointing as I’m sure it’ll be, I owe TLA a visit after last week.
(‘Won’t Back Down’ by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers hits, and the fans begin to cheer as Michael S. Connor begins walking down the ramp. Michael has a focused look on his face, as he’s seemingly prepared for one of his biggest matches yet as he goes one on one against the Hall of Famer TLA. Michael wastes no time making his way to the ring, as Bella Braxton speaks.)
Bella Braxton: Making his way to the ring… From London, Ohio… Weighing in at 210 pounds… MIIIIICCHAAAEEELLLLL S. CONNNOORRRR!!!!!!!!
James Peters: Charlie, do you have any thoughts on Michael and his chances tonight?
Champagne Charlie: No.
James Peters: Oh, alright. Well, I believe Michael is a talented man, and while this will be an uphill battle he may be able to pull off an upset win tonight.
Rich Russillo: I agree, but there’s only one way to find out!
(‘Ambitionz az a Ridah’ by Tupac follows, and the cheers grow even louder as TLA walks out with the Hardcore Championship. TLA knows Charlie is at ringside and as soon as he makes it to the stage he stares at him, but after a few moments a smirk appears on TLA’s face as he looks away, choosing to focus on his upcoming match. Before long TLA begins walking down the ramp, making his way towards the ring.)
Bella Braxton: And his opponent… From Tlaxcala, Mexico… Weighing in at 210 pounds… HE IS THE HARDCORE CHAMPION, TTTTT!!!!!!! LLLL!!!! AAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!
Champagne Charlie: There he is! The soon to be FORMER Hardcore Champion!
James Peters: Well TLA looks ready for action tonight, and I’m looking forward to seeing how this one goes. TLA is a fantastic Elitist, and he has the potential to have an amazing reign if-
Champagne Charlie: Don’t even continue, you were about to say something stupid.
Rich Russillo: Well, let’s see who’ll win this match! Michael S. Connor, or the Hardcore Champion TLA!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
James Peters: Here we go! This match between Major Michael S. Connor and TLA is underway, and right away both Elitists lock up in the middle of the ring! TLA is able to take control early with a side headlock, but Michael escapes it before grabbing TLA and transitioning into a hammerlock! TLA now escaping that, AND THERE’S A DROP TOE HOLD FOLLOWED BY A GROUNDED HEADLOCK! MICHAEL ESCAPES THAT WITH A HEADSCISSORS THOUGH, AND NOW BOTH ELITISTS RETURN TO THEIR FEET! TLA NOW RUNS IN, BUT MICHAEL IS ABLE TO TAKE HIM TO THE MAT BEFORE APPLYING A REAR CHIN LOCK!
Rich Russillo: TLA is quickly able to return to his feet before dragging Michael down onto the mat with a snapmare, AND NOW TLA RUNS THE ROPES BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A PENALTY KICK!!!! TLA NOW WITH A STANDING MOONSAULT TO FOLLOW IT UP, AND NOW THERE’S THE COVER!
ONE!
T-
Rich Russillo: Quick kickout by Michael, and now TLA stays on the offensive as he pulls Michael up and sends him into the corner! TLA now running in, AND THERE’S A FOREARM SMASH!!! TLA NOW GRABBING MICHAEL AS HE RUNS OUT OF THE CORNER, AND NOW HE GOES FOR A BULLDOG- WAIT NO! MICHAEL PUSHES HIM OFF!
Persephone: What an idiot. TLA looked stupid just now and Michael rushes in to capitalize, AND HE DROPS TLA WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX! DID HE LAND ON HIS NECK!? Oh, TLA is getting back up? That sucks. Well since that German suplex didn’t do the damage I wish it did, Michael is beginning to hit TLA with chops. I guess he’s trying to slowly damage TLA even further, but those chops look like they’re barely doing anything. Is Michael even trying?
Champagne Charlie: What are you even talking about? TLA is clearly in pain.
James Peters: Charlie is right actually. TLA looks like he’s in a bit of trouble- BUT IT LOOKS LIKE HE’S ABLE TO RESPOND WITH A CHOP OF HIS OWN, AND THAT ONE HIT HARD! TLA NOW WITH A FOREARM, AND NOW A CHOP! NOW ANOTHER FOREARM! NOW ANOTHER CHOP! TLA SWITCHING BETWEEN CHOPS AND FOREARMS AS MICHAEL IS BACKED UP INTO THE ROPES, AND NOW TLA RUNS THE ROPES BEFORE GOING FOR A- NO! MICHAEL LIFTS TLA OVER HIS HEAD! MICHAEL JUST SENT TLA OUT ONTO THE APRON, AFTER I THINK TLA WAS LOOKING FOR A LARIAT!
Champagne Charlie: Of course I was right. That should’ve been obvious, I actually know what I’m talking about. I don’t even know why you three are here, I can commentate on my own.
Persephone: Really? I’ll gladly leave if so.
Rich Russillo: :whoa: There’s no need for that! Anyways TLA just connected with a rope assisted enzuigiri to send Michael stumbling backwards, AND NOW TLA CONNECTS WITH A SPRINGBOARD CROSSBODY!!! TLA is on fire right now, and I think he may be looking to put this one away early as he pulls Michael in! COULD TLA BE LOOKING FOR A MEXICAN DESTROYER HERE!?
James Peters: HE MIGHT’VE BEEN, BUT MICHAEL IS ABLE TO LIFT TLA UP AND HE MIGHT BE LOOKING FOR AN ALABAMA SLAM NOW!!! MICHAEL GOES FOR- WAIT NO! TLA SLIPS DOWN HIS BACK AND PULLS MICHAEL INTO A SUNSET FLIP PIN – AND MICHAEL IMMEDIATELY ROLLS OUT OF IT BEFORE PUSHING TLA’S SHOULDERS DOWN WITH A PIN OF HIS OWN!!!
ONE!
T-
James Peters: KICKOUT BY TLA, AND BOTH MEN QUICKLY RETURN TO THEIR FEET BEFORE- WOAH!!! WHAT A CLOTHESLINE BY MAJOR MICHAEL S. CONNOR, TURNING TLA INSIDE OUT AS TLA STUMBLES INTO THE CORNER WITHOUT ANY IDEA WHERE HE IS!
Rich Russillo: MICHAEL NOW RUNNING IN, AND HE CONNECTS WITH A SECOND CLOTHESLINE, THIS TIME IN THE CORNER!!!! MICHAEL RUNS THE ROPES AS TLA STUMBLES AWAY FROM THE TURNBUCKLES, AND MICHAEL FOLLOWS UP THE OFFENSE WITH A BIG BOOT! Michael doesn’t stop there though, as he quickly pulls TLA up into the double underhook! I THINK MICHAEL IS LOOKING FOR TAPS- BUT TLA DOESN’T LET IT HAPPEN AS HE PULLS HIMSELF FREE BEFORE PULLING MICHAEL INTO A CLOTHESLINE OF HIS OWN! Some great back and forth action between these two. What do you think about this match so far, Charlie?
Champagne Charlie: What’s there to think? TLA isn’t as good of a wrestler as me, so as expected, nothing about this is even remotely interesting. That Michael guy is getting back up, but who cares, really?
Persephone: Right!?
Champagne Charlie: I wasn’t talking to you.
Persephone: :wtf:
James Peters: TLA now with an irish whip sending Michael into the ropes, BUT MICHAEL GRABS ONTO THE ROPES, STOPPING HIMSELF FROM BOUNCING OFF OF THEM! TLA CHARGES IN ANYWAY AND NOW MICHAEL LOOKS TO CAPITALIZE- BUT TLA CATCHES MICHAEL OFF GUARD BY SLIDING UNDER HIM, BEFORE JUMPING UP AND TAKING MICHAEL DOWN WITH A HURRICANRANA! MICHAEL STUMBLES INTO THE ROPES AS TLA CHARGES IN, BEFORE TAKING HIM OUT OF THE RING WITH A CLOTHESLINE!
Rich Russillo: Uh oh! Michael landed awkwardly on his leg, and we know that he has some history with that leg thanks to Caroline a few months ago! He hurt his knee in that match, so that was a really bad fall! TLA remains focused on the match though as he sees Michael pushing himself back up, AND NOW THE HARDCORE CHAMPION RUNS THE ROPES BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A SUICIDE DIVE!!!! WHAT A MOVE BY TLA, AND IF MICHAEL DOESN’T THINK OF SOMETHING QUICKLY WE MIGHT BE NEARING THE END OF THIS ONE!
James Peters: TLA RUNS UP TO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE AS MICHAEL GETS BACK TO HIS FEET, AND THERE’S A DIVING CLOTHESLINE BY TLA!!! THAT MOVE TURNED MICHAEL INSIDE OUT, AND NOW HE CRAWLS OVER TO THE ROPES IN ORDER TO TRY AND RECOVER! He’s leaning on the middle rope though, and we all know that’s a terrible place to be in a match against TLA! TLA NOW RUNNING THE ROPES, AND IF YOU’VE SEEN TLA COMPETE YOU KNOW VERY WELL WHAT HE’S SETTING UP FOR HERE!
Rich Russillo: TLA GOES FOR THE 305- BUT MICHAEL PULLS HIMSELF OUT OF THE WAY BEFORE GRABBING TLA FROM BEHIND! GERMAN SUPLEX BY MICHAEL, BUT HE DOESN’T LET GO OF TLA! INSTEAD MICHAEL HOLDS ONTO TLA BEFORE GETTING BACK TO HIS FEET, AND NOW HE TURNS TLA AROUND BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A SNAP SUPLEX! IT LOOKS LIKE MICHAEL STILL ISN’T FINISHED THERE THOUGH AS HE PULLS TLA UP ONCE MORE, BEFORE SETTING UP FOR THE DOUBLE UNDERHOOK DDT!!! TAPS-
Champagne Charlie: STILL DOESN’T CONNECT! See? This is why I returned, this place clearly needs a wrestler like me! He can’t even hit that one move. TLA just countered it AGAIN, this time with a northern lights suplex!
Persephone: We don’t need you at all, we already have Rexy. If only there was a way to fill the entire show with Rex, then I could actually be happy.
Champagne Charlie: Do you ever stop talking?? I don’t want to hear you right now, if you want to talk about Rex go do it somewhere else where I can’t hear it.
Persephone: Good idea, I’ll just-
James Peters: Do your job.
Persephone: :francis: FINE. TLA pins Michael and now the match is gonna end! ONE TWO THREE DING DING DING!
James Peters: That’s not even close to what’s happening, what are you doing? TLA is actually heading up to the top rope right now while Michael is still down on the mat, and it looks like TLA is planning to utilize his high flying offense once more! Michael is in bad shape right now as he was just hit with that northern lights suplex, SO WE MIGHT ACTUALLY BE SEEING THE END OF THIS MATCH RIGHT NOW! TLA DIVES OFF THE TOP ROPE, AND HE GOES FOR THE SHOOTING STAR PRESS! 420-
Rich Russillo: MICHAEL GOT THE KNEES UP!!!! TLA CRASHED RIGHT ONTO MICHAEL’S KNEES, BUT THAT MAY HAVE BEEN A MISTAKE ON MICHAEL’S PART! TLA IS OVER 200 POUNDS, AND ONE OF MICHAEL’S LEGS WERE ALREADY BOTHERING HIM! IT LOOKS LIKE THAT CRASH LANDING MAY HAVE JUST MADE THINGS WORSE! Michael is holding his knee in pain, and that really is a bad sign! You never want something like that bothering you, especially not when you’re up against someone as experienced as TLA who’d know how to exploit an injury like that!
James Peters: Fortunately for Michael, TLA isn’t in the best spot right now either! After all he landed right onto a pair of knees, so he’s hurting badly! Michael now quickly grabbing TLA, AND HE PULLS THE HARDCORE CHAMPION INTO A SMALL PACKAGE!!! WILL WE SEE AN UPSET VICTORY HERE!?
ONE!
TWO-
James Peters: NO, TLA KICKS OUT JUST BEFORE TWO!!!! TLA quickly grabs onto the ropes and uses them to pull himself back up to his feet, meanwhile Michael is pushing himself up, trying to avoid putting pressure on that bad leg for the time being! MICHAEL NOW WITH A PUNCH TO THE MIDSECTION!
Rich Russillo: That clearly hurt given the fact that TLA’s midsection is what hit the knees, AND NOW MICHAEL CONNECTS WITH A SECOND PUNCH! A THIRD NOW BY MICHAEL, AND NOW HE GRABS TLA BEFORE PULLING HIM IN FOR WHAT LOOKS TO BE A POWERBOMB POSSIBLY- BUT TLA PULLS MICHAEL’S LEGS OUT FROM UNDER HIM BEFORE DELIVERING AN ELBOW DROP RIGHT ONTO THAT BAD KNEE! IT LOOKS LIKE TLA NOTICED MICHAEL HOLDING ONTO THE KNEE, AND THAT GAVE HIM AN OPENING! That’s not good for Michael, you don’t want an easy target against someone like TLA, a Hall of Famer who has done it all!
Champagne Charlie: What are you talking about? TLA is harmless. If Michael can’t beat him I’m not sure what he’s doing here. Just wait until Bloodsport, you guys will see how a real Champion wrestles when I dismantle TLA just like I did to all of my opponents during my last Hardcore Championship reign.
James Peters: TLA pulls Michael up after that, AND NOW HE LIFTS MICHAEL UP BEFORE LOOKING FOR A SUPLEX- BUT MICHAEL SLIPS BEHIND TLA AND LANDS ON HIS FEET!!! THAT BAD KNEE GAVE HIM TROUBLE THOUGH, AND TLA CAPITALIZES OFF OF THAT HESITATION WITH THE CARTEL KICK!
Rich Russillo: NO HE DOESN’T!!!! MICHAEL GOT OUT OF THE WAY- AND NOW HE QUICKLY GRABS TLA AND PULLS HIM INTO THE FRONT FACELOCK- BEFORE CONNECTING WITH TAPS!!!!! THERE IT IS, TAPS CONNECTS AND THAT MIGHT JUST BE THE BEST SHOT MICHAEL HAS HIT TLA WITH!!! CONNOR HOOKS THE LEGS, AND WE MIGHT BE LOOKING AT A MONUMENTAL UPSET HERE AS MICHAEL S. CONNOR LOOKS TO DEFEAT THE HARDCORE CHAMPION!!!
ONE!
TWO!!
THRE-
Rich Russillo: NO, TLA MANAGES TO GET THE SHOULDER UP!!!! That was a close one, but TLA survives!
James Peters: Michael is once again holding onto that knee, and I think all that wear and tear is starting to come back to him! While injuries may heal we all know that they’re capable of being aggravated once again, and it looks like we’re seeing that once again tonight. Michael can’t afford to let up though, not while TLA is still down and out! TLA may have kicked out of taps, but this is still Michael’s best chance of picking up a victory and I think Michael knows that’s himself! Michael is doing his best to pull himself back up, and I think he’s about to try and finish it!
Rich Russillo: Connor now grabbing TLA, AND I THINK HE’S LOOKING FOR THAT DRAGON SLEEPER- BUT TLA DOESN’T LET IT HAPPEN THAT EASILY!!! TLA BACKPEDALS INTO THE CORNER OF THE RING BEFORE HE COULD APPLY THE DRAGON SLEEPER, CAUSING CONNOR TO CRASH BACK FIRST INTO THE TURNBUCKLES!!!! TLA and Michael stumble out of the corner, but thanks to that bad leg Michael drops down and lands on the middle rope once again! I think we both know exactly what this means, and this time there might not be any countering it!
Persephone: Hopefully you’re right. If there’s no counter, this match might actually end.
James Peters: TLA RUNS THE ROPES, AND THERE IT IS!!!! THE 305 CONNECTS, DROPPING MICHAEL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING!!!! TLA DOESN’T STOP THERE, INSTEAD FOLLOWING IT UP WITH A SPRINGBOARD SPLASH!!!! TLA GOES FOR THE COVER- AND LOOK!!!! TLA WITH A GENIUS DECISION, HOOKING MICHAEL S. CONNOR’S BAD LEG!!!! THIS MIGHT BE THE END!!!!
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE!!-
James Peters: MICHAEL KICKS OUT!!! MICHAEL BARELY KICKS OUT, AND THAT HAD TO HAVE BOTHERED HIS LEG EVEN MORE BUT IT WAS NECESSARY IN ORDER TO KEEP HIMSELF IN THE MATCH!
Rich Russillo: Michael has an impressive amount of fight in him tonight, meanwhile TLA still has a target he can easily aim at. TLA knows he’s done the damage, and now it looks like he wants to finish this the right way! TLA is heading back to the top rope, and I have to admit that I’m not too sure about this one. We know Michael is down for the count, but he was in the same spot last time TLA was up top and yet he still found a way to avoid the shooting star press!
Charlie Marr: So either TLA will embarrass himself or the match will end. I’m fine with either, this has been a terrible performance from the “Champion”.
James Peters: TLA GOES FOR BURNOUT- AND NOW MICHAEL ROLLS OUT OF HARM’S WAY!!!! TLA WAS PREPARED FOR THAT THOUGH, AND HE MANAGED TO ROLL THROUGH AND LAND BACK ON HIS FEET!!! TLA QUICKLY TURNS TO MICHAEL- BUT MICHAEL DOES THE SMARTEST THING HE COULD DO IN THIS SITUATION AND ROLLED OUT OF THE RING! We all know Michael isn’t afraid of a challenge, but in a situation like this he had no choice but to get out of there before things got any worse!
Rich Russillo: I think you’re forgetting a very important detail though, and it’s the fact that TLA is still up and on his feet! Michael S. Connor is trying to push himself back up and onto his feet, but his leg is clearly beginning to bother him more and more as the match progresses! At this point I’m not even certain he can walk on his own two feet, if he takes any more serious damage to that leg we might need to get him some medical attention!
Persephone: Would that mean the end of the match?
Rich Russillo: Most likely, yes.
Persephone: BREAK HIS LEG TLA! BREAK IT NOW!
James Peters: Either TLA couldn’t hear you or he’s just not paying attention to you. Either way, it looks like he has another plan in mind, AS HE JUMPS ONTO THE TOP ROPE AND BEGINS RUNNING ACROSS IT LIKE A TIGHTROPE!!! TLA WITH WALK DA WAL- WOAH!!!! MICHAEL S. CONNOR WITH A BEAUTIFUL COUNTER, BUT WAS THAT THE RIGHT THING TO DO THERE!? MICHAEL JUST CONNECTED WITH A DROPKICK, TAKING TLA RIGHT OUT OF THE SKY!!!! MICHAEL ONCE AGAIN SACRIFICING HIS LEG TO SAVE HIMSELF, BUT THIS MIGHT BE COUNTERPRODUCTIVE!!!
Rich Russillo: Michael is using the apron to pull himself up before holding onto that knee, but he does his best to try and brush off the pain before pulling TLA up and sending him into the ring! Michael slides into the ring as well, and now he begins pulling TLA back up before going for a- NO! TLA IS ABLE TO SHOVE MICHAEL BACK, AND NOW MICHAEL GOES FOR A- oh no! That’s not good, Michael tried to retaliate but his knee got to him, he just dropped onto the mat!
(The referee quickly goes to check on Michael S. Connor, meanwhile TLA steps back, willing to allow the referee to do his job. Michael uses the ropes to try pulling himself up, telling the referee that he can compete, but as soon as he lets go of the ropes he’d drop down onto the mat once again. This leaves the referee with no other choice, as he throws up the X symbol.)
James Peters: That’s not good! It looks like the referee is signaling for the medical team to come out here, and I’m not so sure if Michael S. Connor will be able to finish this match up!
Persephone: YES!!!! I WON!!!!
Rich Russillo: I don’t know, we still have to see what the officials say. There’s a chance that Michael may still be able to compete! I don’t think it’s a big chance given the circumstances, but until the bell rings this match is not over!
Champagne Charlie: What are we doing here? Why are we wasting our time with this? I’m done.
James Peters: You’re done? What does that mean?
Champagne Charlie: As far as I’m concerned, the match is over.
(As Michael S. Connor is tended to by the medical team, TLA continues to watch on, checking to see whether or not Michael is okay. During this, the sound of a headset being removed is picked up by the camera, though neither TLA nor the referee seem to notice this. A few more moments pass as Michael talks to the medical team, until suddenly the fans begin booing extremely loudly.)
James Peters: WAIT A MINUTE, NO!!! CHARLIE MARR JUST HIT TLA IN THE FACE WITH THE HARDCORE CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!!! CHARLIE JUST HIT TLA IN THE FACE WITH THE HARDCORE TITLE, DROPPING THE CHAMPION, AND NOW CHARLIE IS JUST SMASHING THE TITLE INTO TLA’S FACE OVER AND OVER!!!!! LOOK AT THAT, CHARLIE BUSTED TLA’S FACE OPEN!!!!
Rich Russillo: CHARLIE CONTINUES TO HIT TLA IN THE FACE WITH THE TITLE OVER AND OVER, AND NOW CHARLIE PULLS TLA UP BEFORE PUSHING HIM INTO THE ROPES!!!! CHARLIE SPINS AROUND, AND NOW THERE IT IS!!!! THE CHARING CROSS CONNECTS, AND THAT FINALLY CAUGHT THE REFEREE’S ATTENTION!!!! CHARLIE WAS USING THE REFEREE CHECKING ON MICHAEL AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE OUT TLA, AND NOW THE REFEREE HAS FINALLY SEEN IT!!! THE REFEREE CALLS FOR THE BELL, THIS ONE IS OVER!!!!!!!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
(Michael S. Connor is helped up the ramp by medical seeing that the match is now over, and he’s not too happy that things ended like this. The fans boo loudly seeing the way the match ended, but Charlie doesn’t pay it any attention. Instead he looks down on TLA, before looking at the Hardcore Championship on the mat. Charlie begins dragging TLA back up to his feet, locking his arms in a double underhook position.)
James Peters: THE QUEEN IS DEAD!!! THE DOUBLE UNDERHOOK DDT CONNECTS, DRIVING TLA’S HEAD INTO THE HARDCORE CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!!
Rich Russillo: We were seeing a good match between TLA and Michael S. Connor, but two things got in the way of that. Michael’s injury, and Champagne Charlie. I’m sure Charlie wanted revenge after last week, but I didn’t expect it to happen like this.
Persephone: At least the match is over! That sucked, I’m glad everything that could go wrong went wrong so we didn’t have to be here any longer.
James Peters: Well one thing’s for sure. Charlie wants the Hardcore Championship, and right now he’s a very serious threat to TLA.
(Champagne Charlie picks up the Hardcore Championship, before raising it with a grin on his face. The fans boo extremely loudly as Charlie stands over the now bloody TLA, and from there Voltage fades away from ringside.)
( Voltage fades from the ringside area and cuts backstage. Fight Grid host and part-time Voltage backstage correspondent, Molly Waters, is standing by. )
Molly Waters: Molly Waters here, and ladies and gentlemen… the details are in! I was going to give you guys a run-down of what you can expect come Bloodsport, but someone else wanted in on the fun.
( The camera shot widens and beside Molly is none other than beloved Voltage commissioner, Captain Charisma. He has a grin on his face as Molly gives him her undivided attention. )
Molly Waters: Captain Charisma, welcome. Now, Bloodsport is always a fun event because with it comes the knowledge that the stipulations for the event are going to be determined by your creation, ‘The Wheel of Death’. In recent weeks, things we’ve never seen before on Voltage have come up on the wheel such as ‘Cage of Death’, ‘Chamber of Blood’, and ‘Razorwire Hell’. You’ve teased everyone about the prospect of these particular matches. It’s time to give us the details of those matches.
Captain Charisma: Man, where to start? When the draft came about, I knew that I wanted to stack Voltage with the biggest names in EAW. I wanted legends and Hall of Famers, as well as Elitists I could push to their limits and help them get to that next level. To say I’m pleased with my roster is a massive understatement and with a star-studded roster such as the one I’ve been blessed with, I knew I had to be creative this season and find a way to take everyone, from the most established name to the newest signee, outside of their comfort zone. Bloodsport is just the start of that. A ‘Cage of Death’ match with the EAW World Championship on the line is no doubt something everyone is looking forward to, and quite frankly, it’s going to put Drake King, Alex Myers, Ruler, and Donovan Duke through absolute Hell. It’s a specially designed cage made to look like a jail cell, with steel bars. If you stand on the turnbuckles, you will touch the top of it, but the catch to that is, the top of it will be made entirely out of barbed wire. It will cover the entire ring, allowing the competitors access to the ground and whatever is underneath the ring, though that being said, there will be obstacles in play as well.
Molly Waters: What do you mean by obstacles?
Captain Charisma: Just little things such as cacti, a glass tank of piranhas which I’m sure Alex Myers will love, perhaps a bear trap or two.
Molly Waters: :comeagain: Did you just say a bear trap??
( Captain Charisma laughs. )
Captain Charisma: I’m kidding about the bear trap. But, whoever walks out of Bloodsport as the EAW Champion will have survived perhaps the most brutal and toughest test of their entire career.
Molly Waters: :lupe: I’m almost afraid to ask what ‘Chamber of Blood’ is.
Captain Charisma: :mjgrin: Nothing TLA or Charlie Marr can’t handle, I’m sure. One is the reigning Hardcore Champion and the other is perhaps the greatest hardcore wrestler in EAW’s long, violent history and as someone who made his own name in the Hardcore division, you know that’s high praise. This match is going to come with a warning because it won’t be for the faint of heart. TLA and Charlie will be locked inside of a steel cage that will have been covered entirely with razor blades. The only way to win the match is to climb out of the cage and considering what it’s made of, that won’t be easy. These men are going to risk their livelihoods come Bloodsport, all to either retain or win the Hardcore Championship, and I have no doubt that they’ll be up to the challenge.
Molly Waters: So that just leaves…
Captain Charisma: ‘Razorwire Hell’. Minerva certainly didn’t waste any time taking advantage of the stipulation. She sent Rex McAllister a message last week and let him know that nothing was going to stop her from winning at Bloodsport. That being said, I know Rex very well. He’s not going to let Minerva get away with her actions. I have a feeling when these two collide at our first Marquee Event of the season, it will end up being one for the ages. These are two of the very best of all-time, and each of them have a chip on their respective shoulder. I can’t wait to see what happens.
( Molly looks at Captain Charisma, who grins at her. )
Molly Waters: Okay! Stop leaving us in suspense!
Captain Charisma: Fine, fine. ‘Razorwire Hell’ is exactly what it sounds like. It will be a literal razor wire hell. The ring ropes and turnbuckles will be wrapped with razor wire and all weapons that will be available for the match will be wrapped in razor wire as well. Rex and Minerva have a license to just beat the shit out of one another and knowing the two of them like I do, they wouldn’t have it any other way. There’s no doubt that Bloodsport is going to be the most extreme, violent event of the season, and hey, that’s Voltage for you. We’ve always separated ourselves from Dynasty and Showdown by pushing the envelope and being unafraid to take risks. The men and women of this brand know what they’re getting into when they’re drafted here. This brand makes superstars and it’s the toughest brand to succeed on. This season isn’t an exception.
Molly Waters: There are a few people who do-
( Captain Charisma holds his hand up, politely cutting Molly off. He soothes this over with a charming smile. )
Captain Charisma: Molly, how many seasons have I dealt with Drake King now? How many seasons did I deal with New Eden? If I didn’t have someone wanting to revolt against Voltage and the way I do things, then I would be doing something wrong. Mr. Wrestling can take whatever shots he likes at me in his promos and interviews. It’s going to go in one ear and out the other. Every style of wrestling is accepted here in the land of Elite, and at some point this season, Mr. Wrestling will get to show off how great of a technician he is on a major Marquee Event. However Bloodsport is as billed. It’s Bloodsport, and that’s all I have to say on the subject.
Molly Waters: So can we assume next week that we’re going to find out what ‘Four Corners of Pain’ is?
Captain Charisma: You know what, Molly? I was going to give more details on that next week, but I think it would be more fun if two seasoned, former world champion competitors walked into the match blind. Cameron Ella Ava and Dr. Bethany Blue are fierce competitors and the element of surprise will be something both of them aren’t banking on. I think letting them wonder exactly what they’re going into will be a challenge for two women who have seen it all and done it all. So come Bloodsport, when they make their entrances, they will find out what exactly ‘Four Corners of Pain’ entails.
Molly Waters: Oh wow! That’s an interesting twist!
Captain Charisma: I’m full of surprises, Molly, and this season, we’re going to have a lot of them.
Molly Waters: Well there you have it, EAW Universe! Bloodsport may very well go down in history as the craziest EAW Marquee Event of all time! Thank you for taking the time to explain all of this, Captain Charisma, and we’ll be right back after this commercial break!
( Molly lowers the microphone and turns to talk to Captain Charisma as Voltage fades into a commercial break. )
(Promotional ad for Bloodsport, where the EAW World Championship is defended in a fatal four way Cage of Death.)
(The camera cuts to Bella Braxton in the ring.)
Bella Braxton: The following contest is scheduled for one fall!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
(The camera cuts to ringside where Drake King and Alex Myers are shown seated in preparation for the upcoming match.)
(“The Perfect Girl” – Mareux hits, causing loud boos to come from the crowd.)
Bella Braxton: Introducing first from The Reserved in Boston, Massachusetts weighing in at 220 pounds he is RUUUUUUUULLLLLLLERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!
(Ruler makes his way out to the stage, and he stares directly at Alex Myers and Drake King, who are seated at ringside. Ruler does his best to ignore them, just shaking his head as he begins walking down the ramp. Ruler is able to easily ignore the boos, only looking at the ring as he thinks to himself.)
James Peters: We know Ruler is a bit of a troubled man, but tonight he has something to focus on. He wants to defeat Donovan Duke, and with Drake and Alex at ringside, he has the opportunity to send a great message.
Rich Russillo: This will undoubtedly be great, but the only question is, who will win? Will it be Ruler, or will it be his opponent?
(“I Rise” by Cory Marks hits to cheers from the crowd.)
Bella Braxton: And his opponent from Stillwater, Oklahoma weighing in at 212 pounds he is “The Oklahoma Storm” DONOVANNNNN DUKEEEE!!!!
(Donovan Duke runs down to the ring slapping hands with the fans as he makes it down to ringside. Once he does make it to ringside, Donovan glances at Drake and Alex before turning his attention entirely to Ruler. Donovan thinks about everything that’s happened over the past few weeks, and he makes his way into the ring, ready to fight.)
Rich Russillo: Well this whole match is kind of a preview of what we might expect at Bloodsport. With Drake King and Alex Myers at ringside the whole thing just feels like a powder keg ready to blow.
James Peters: That is too bad especially because the actual match between these two would probably be fire. But I definitely feel like it could explode at any minute like you said. But let’s see if we can remain professional!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Rich Russillo: We are underway as Donovan Duke and Ruler immediately get into it by throwing hands back and forth! Ruler fighting back against Donovan with repeated right hands to the face but Donovan counters with some of his own! Ruler with a hard knee to the gut of Donovan! Donovan sent off the ropes but he rebounds and catches Ruler in midair with a Swinging DDT! Donovan is planted head first in the middle of the ring as he has gone down and this match has gotten off to a fast start! Donovan into the cover!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
James Peters: Kickout by Ruler! Donovan Duke stays on him however but Ruler ducks beneath the arm and grabs the arm of Donovan from behind. Ruler runs off the ropes before yanking the arm and dragging Donovan down to the mat. Hard forearm over the back of the shoulders of Donovan taking him down to the mat. Donovan pulls himself up in the corner but Ruler is right on him with a Running Clothesline just smashing him in the corner. Ruler whips Donovan to the opposite side of the ring. Donovan bounces off the corner as Ruler scoops him up and slams him down with a body slam to the mat. Donovan rolls back up as Ruler comes charging in with a Running Big Boot to the face! But Donovan ducks it! Donovan kicks Ruler in the gut and plants him with a Snap DDT to the mat! Donovan putting those DDTs to good use so far in this match! Ruler back up as Donovan lifts him up into a Pumphandle Slam-
Rich Russillo: But Ruler falls off behind Donovan Duke and tosses him backwards with a German Suplex! No! Donovan elbows the head of Ruler and eventually breaks free! Donovan off the ropes and charges in with a Running Pump Kick to the head of Ruler! But Ruler moves out of the way! Ruler grabs Donovan by the throat and shoves him across the ring sending him into the corner. Ruler charges in with a Clothesline into the corner before rushing Donovan out into the middle of the ring with a Running Bulldog! Ruler with the cover!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
James Peters: Donovan Duke with the kickout! Two fairly close falls already early in this match but you have to imagine it is going to take a lot more than that to put the opponent away!
Persephone: I don’t want to imagine something as horrifying as that…
Rich Russillo: Well you might not have to imagine it. You might just have to witness it! The match continues on as Ruler raises one fist in the air as if to celebrate his dominance. He lifts Donovan Duke back up and puts him in position for a Piledriver! But Donovan counters tossing him up and over crashing onto his back! Ruler back up as Donovan runs towards him but Ruler catches the arm and throws Donovan across the ring with an Arm Toss! Donovan crashes onto his back before rolling back up to his feet once more. Donovan eats a right hand from Ruler and is thrown face first into the corner! Donovan eats repeated shots to the face with the elbow of Ruler. Ruler backs up and gains momentum as he rushes across the ring with a Running Clothesline into the corner! Donovan falls out of the corner and is dropped with a sudden Piledriver from Ruler crunching him down head first in the ring! No wait! Donovan flipped out of it at the last moment!!!
James Peters: Donovan Duke runs off the ropes and at full speed kicks the head off the neck of Ruler! Big time Pump Kick there from Donovan who got all of that one! Donovan falls on top of Ruler as he makes the cover!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-
Rich Russillo: Ruler kicks out with authority! It seemed like he was motionless but then he kicked out with all his strength sending Donovan Duke flying off him! Ruler sits back up as he looks to be doing just fine and Donovan backs away unable to believe the speed at which Ruler is making this sort of comeback! Ruler suddenly lunges towards Donovan with a Running Spear that nearly tears him in half! Ruler is going insane as he tackles Donovan and begins ripping and tearing at his face with fingernails and punches. He eventually begins to choke the life out of Donovan with both hands! That is an illegal chokehold!
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! GET OFF HIM!!!
James Peters: It looks like Ruler was able to come to his senses just in time to avoid the disqualification.
Persephone: Maybe he should just be disqualified anyway? I mean he seems a bit unstable.
James Peters: The referee’s discretion is absolute I fear. However, Ruler appears to have regained his composure somewhat despite sending some angry glances towards the referee. But Ruler should be focusing on his opponent as Donovan Duke is returning back up to his hands and knees slowly rising! Ruler measuring his opponent looking to take his head off again the moment he rises back up. Ruler charges in! But Donovan Duke ducks beneath the Clothesline! Donovan off the ropes as he kicks the arm of Ruler away! Donovan then grabs Ruler around the waist and tosses him back with a perfect form Belly to Belly Suplex! Ruler goes flying across the ring! Ruler back up now as Donovan grabs him and twists him around into a Pump Handle Slam!!! Donovan drops Ruler hard on his back and slides into the cover!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: Kickout by Ruler!
James Peters: Even Drake King and Alex Myers who are sitting ringside for this match cannot believe it! They look surprised that Ruler kicked out and thought that might have been it! But Ruler has definitely taken a toll on his stamina here tonight. He was very much an unstoppable force a few minutes ago but has cooled down significantly and that may be almost as good as pulling out a win for Donovan Duke if he can keep the momentum up here tonight. The match continues now as both competitors back up to their feet. Ruler backs away showing a measure of caution after that near fall. Ruler eventually locks up with Donovan who was yelling at him to come and get some. Ruler and Donovan locking up as Ruler immediately charges in with both hands bullying Donovan into the corner but Donovan ducks into the ropes escaping the attack for a moment there.
Rich Russillo: Donovan Duke slaps Ruler across the face and Ruler is definitely going to snap again! No! Actually Ruler appears to be calming down for a moment not allowing the rage to consume him. Ruler grabs Donovan as he charges in and tosses him across the ring. Donovan lands on his shoulder and rolls up into the corner staring down his opponent. Ruler charges in with a Stinger Splash but Donovan moves out of the way! Ruler manages to stop himself before charging nonstop into the corner! Donovan looking to take advantage and grabs Ruler from behind but Ruler with a hard elbow strike to the side of Ruler’s head sending him staggering backwards. Ruler nearly collapses but manages to maintain his footing until Donovan grabs him and they fight for position once more. Ruler tosses Donovan up into the air but Donovan whirls around in midair and lands on his feet! Donovan ducks around behind Ruler and throws him back with a German Suplex into a bridge!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!
Persephone: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!
James Peters: No! Ruler kicks out with authority! Ruler is back up and he is not happy! He pummels Donovan Duke in the face before tossing him across the ring! Such elevation! Donovan nearly goes flying into the corner but falls down under the bottom rope and rolls outside of the ring. Donovan catching a quick breather here as he recovers on the outside. Ruler is pacing like a caged tiger on the inside of the ring as the referee is trying to convince him not to go outside and imploring Donovan to return to the ring to continue the match.
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE!
Rich Russillo: The countout has begun as Donovan Duke makes his way up to the apron! Ruler is lying in wait and charges in! But a shoulder thrust from Donovan from between the ropes! Donovan lunges back into the ring and begins to light up the chest of Ruler with repeated back chops sending Ruler up against the ropes! Irish Whip! But Ruler reverses it, sending Donovan running across the ring. Ruler with a Clothesline as Donovan returns off the ropes! But Donovan ducks under it and runs off the opposite side of the ring!
James Peters: Donovan Duke comes off the opposite side of the ropes with a Flying Clothesline… no wait! Ruler was waiting and punches Donovan’s lights out with a Superman Punch! Donovan just got knocked the hell out and he is down and out! Donovan folded inside out as Ruler slides into the cover!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: Donovan Duke crawls his way over to the ropes holding his nose in pain. Ruler looking at him in pity as he taunts the crowd. Drake King and Alex Myers at ringside look like they aren’t particularly impressed. Donovan pulling himself up on the middle rope as Ruler forces his arm into the back of the neck choking him out on the ropes!
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! Let go now!
Persephone: You know Drake or Alex… it wouldn’t be the end of the world if one of you decided to do a little interference here tonight. Just a suggestion though.
James Peters: Stop tempting them.
Persephone: :mjgrin:
Rich Russillo: Donovan Duke choking as he falls backwards into the ring and is helped back up to his feet by Ruler. Ruler slams Donovan’s head into the turnbuckle padding and Donovan collapses in the corner in pain. Ruler in complete control of this match as he is enjoying messing with Donovan. He grabs Donovan and punches him hard across the ring dropping him to the mat. Ruler punching and stomping on Donovan on the ground yelling at him to stay down as it is clear that frustration is setting in. Donovan slowly rolling into the corner as Ruler stalks him. Donovan onto the apron as Ruler grabs him looking to pull him back in. Ruler yanks down on the neck of Donovan over the top rope strangling him as the referee counts once more.
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE!
James Peters: Ruler lets go and then immediately connects with a Big Boot to the face of Donovan Duke sending him flying off the apron and crashing to the outside! Donovan is motionless and unconscious out here as the referee begins the count and Ruler seems to just be allowing it to happen.
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! SIX! SEVEN!
Rich Russillo: Nope! Looks like Ruler changed his mind! Ruler slowly making his way out onto the apron and then walking down the steel steps as Donovan Duke pulls himself up on the barricade at ringside. Drake King and Alex Myers moving out of the way to not get involved here.
Referee: EIGHT!
James Peters: Ruler grabs Donovan Duke and slams him head first into the apron! Ruler then quickly rolls in and out of the ring to break the count and reset it.
Persephone: No… NO!
Rich Russillo: Donovan Duke fighting back with a hard uppercut to the face of Ruler! But Ruler with an uppercut of his own sending Donovan staggering out at ringside and crashing back first into our commentary table. Ruler grabs the head of Donovan and slams it into the Bloodsports advertising here on our announce desk. Ruler clearly has this match won he just needs to get Donovan back into the ring and end it already. This is getting hard to watch!
James Peters: Looks like Ruler might be doing exactly that as he tosses Donovan Duke back into the ring and makes the cover!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Rich Russillo: The kickout by Donovan Duke! But Ruler immediately transitions it into a Sleeper Hold! This might be it for Donovan he looks like he is struggling to maintain consciousness as it is…
James Peters: But Donovan Duke is climbing to his feet! Such resiliency! He is fighting through it and fights out of the Sleeper Hold!
Persephone: This match is putting me into a Sleeper Hold so I know how Donovan feels.
Rich Russillo: As soon as Donovan Duke breaks the Sleeper Hold Ruler connects with a Headbutt to the face of Donovan sending him flying into the corner! Ruler might have hurt his own head on that one a little as he staggers back clearly dazed by the impact to his brain.
James Peters: Ruler grabs the arm of Donovan Duke and whips him across the ring. But Duke counters with a kick to the skull avoiding the back body drop! Kick to the midsection from Donovan! Then a hard knee strike to the head of Ruler! Ruler staggers back off the ropes before coming back towards Donovan… Donovan gets Ruler up in position! Fireman’s Carry Slam!!! He gets all of it! Can he do it!!?!? Donovan to the cover!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Rich Russillo: No! Ruler kicks out! Donovan Duke visibly upset he had been hoping that was the end of this match!
Persephone: As were we all. :wow:
James Peters: Ruler slowly back to his feet as Donovan Duke is slowly regaining himself once again too. Donovan pulls himself in one corner as Ruler gets up in the opposite corner! Donovan charges in wildly flailing his arms… Running Splash to the corn-
Rich Russillo: No! Ruler with a Running Spear tearing Donovan Duke in half! Ruler absolutely ruling this ring and Donovan is back under his control once again where he started! The fans voicing their displeasure as they had been getting behind Donovan’s comeback only for it to be suddenly derailed just as soon as it began. Donovan rolls to the outside of the ring once again. Possibly out of instinct or self-preservation. Ruler can’t pin him if he’s out there! Ruler now making his way out of the ring and looking to grab his opponent and toss him back into the ring but Ruler has some time on his han-
James Peters: Donovan Duke retaliates by kicking the steel steps into the knee of Ruler! Donovan then lunges off the steps with a Flying Forearm sending Ruler off his feet! Donovan with a hard uppercut to the jaw of Ruler who flies backwards and hits the back of his head off the apron with a hard thud! Donovan slides back into the ring and this could be his chance to win this thing!!!
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! SIX! SEVEN! EIGHT! NINE! TEN!
Rich Russillo: No! Ruler got back up and lunged back into the ring just in time to beat the count! The match continues! Donovan Duke right on him however as he stomps on Ruler the moment he enters the ring! But Ruler is fighting through the pain! Ruler continues to take punches and kicks but he is standing back up through it all! Donovan with a hard knee to the gut before whipping Ruler across the ring… but on the rebound Ruler with a Flying Burrito taking Donovan down! Both competitors laid out in the ring and we might have a double countout!
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! SIX! SEVEN! EIGHT! NI-
James Peters: But both men are slowly getting back up to their feet!
Persephone: Count faster ref!
Rich Russillo: Both men slowly back up as they lean into each other. Ruler grabs the arm of Donovan Duke and twists in around… but Donovan suddenly collapses forward bouncing off the ropes and flailing backwards with a Spinning Elbow hitting Ruler on the side of the head! Ruler goes flying backwards and accidentally goes into the referee’s head! Ruler headbutting the referee who is now down and out! Ruler realizing what happened as he quickly grabs Donovan and shoves him into the corner and begins beating on him! Ruler checks on the referee but he’s not moving so he goes back on the attack of Donovan!
James Peters: Ruler beating Donovan Duke down in the corner and stomping a mudhole in him! Ruler picking Donovan back up as the referee is beginning to stir!!!
Rich Russillo: RULER WITH THE BLOODRAYNE MAKER! RULER LOOKING TO PUT AN END TO THINGS WITH THIS MOVE! SWINGING REVERSE STO!!!!
James Peters: No wait what the…
Rich Russillo: Oh you have gotta be kidding me-
James Peters: It’s Drake King! Drake just jumped into the ring and laid out Ruler with a steel chair! He prevented Ruler from hitting that Swinging Reverse STO!!! Drake slides back out of the ring and the referee is just coming to! He didn’t see anything!
Persephone: Come on… if you are going to interfere like I said at least do it when the referee can see it…
Rich Russillo: Drake King with a sick smirk on his face as Donovan Duke is slowly pulling himself up in the ring and he has no idea what happened…
James Peters: Donovan Duke pulls Ruler up… He gets him in position…
Rich Russillo: DONOVAN DUKE WITH THE ROYAL FLUSH!!! HE GETS ALL OF IT! DONOVAN TO THE COVERR!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Bella Braxton: Here is your winner… DONOVANNNNNNNNNNN DUKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-
Rich Russillo: Wait what the… Drake King is back in the ring!!! But hold on he’s not alone!!!
James Peters: Alex Myers is in the ring and they are rushing Drake King!!! ALEX IS FRIENDS WITH RULER, AND NOW THEY’RE GOING AFTER DRAKE AFTER WHAT HE DID TO THEIR FRIEND, SCREWING THEM OVER!!!! ALEX PUNCHING AWAY AT DRAKE AFTER ALREADY CATCHING HIM WITH A FOREARM TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD, AND NOW ALEX RUNS OFF THE ROPES-
Rich Russillo: BUT DRAKE DUCKS UNDER THEIR ATTACK BEFORE RUNNING THE ROPES HIMSELF, AND NOW THERE’S THE GUILLOTINE!!!! Drake just ruined this match, and Alex tried to get some payback but was unsuccessful!
James Peters: Dammit! He took out Alex too! What the hell is he doing? Drake King standing tall here tonight-
(As soon as Drake stands up, he sees Donovan Duke in the ring with him! Donovan had just returned to his feet after that grueling match and doesn’t have much left in him, but he certainly isn’t happy after seeing what Drake did to Alex.)
James Peters: Drake King staring Donovan Duke down! These two are the last ones standing. Could this be a sign of things to come at Bloodsport?!?!?!
(The fans are cheering loudly, excited about the confrontation between these two, and neither man moves from their spot.)
Rich Russillo: Possibly. With a match like this, anything can happen.
(The camera cuts to a commercial featuring a political campaign for fans to vote for the Bra and Panties match at Reckless Wiring. Do it to save America.)
(Eventually as we begin to fade in from commercial break, the camera lingering around the ringside area, as we get a long shot of the interior of the RDS Arena, Dublin Ireland. The camera pulls back, before we slowly pan to the titantron. The yellow logo loop, displaying the Voltage graphics and the Voltage logo, is front and present, quite literally center frame, however the titantron slowly begins to fade black. Eventually, we begin to fade to the backstage area, much like the titantron in the arena does, as we fade to a hallway. We see a wooden door with a metal nameplate on it, reading “Eden Sinclair” and immediately the crowd begins to boo. The camera angle fades inside, as we see three chairs posed in somewhat of a triangle position. In the chairs are three women. Eden Sinclair, Sierra Everett, and Sienna Jade. Sienna and Eden both have grins on their faces, mainly because Sierra Everett DOESN’T. She absolutely hates this. She isn’t afraid of hiding it.)
Eden Sinclair: So… :mjgrin:
Sienna Jade: :mjgrin:
Sierra Everett: Get along with it.
(Eden Sinclair’s grin only grows.)
Eden Sinclair: So… I’m glad that I get to host this sit-down interview with the two of you girls tonight! Very exciting things, don’t you agree?
Sienna Jade: Oh believe me, I do.
Sierra Everett: Jesus Christ.
(The aura of the room is a different aura entirely. It usually is when somebody akin to that of Sierra Everett is in the room, however, with the three personalities that are actually here in the room, it’d be hard not to notice that something just feels off. Sierra is very evidently uncomfortable in the situation that she’s in, she’s got a single leg up as she faces away from the two, knowing just how bad it’s gonna be. She sighs.)
Eden Sinclair: First off! I must ask, Sienna, how does it feel knowing that we are just one week away from the match where you absolutely brutalize Sierra??
(Sierra Everett groans, as Sienna’s grin only grows. The fact that this was organized feels like a small taste of how Eden is trying to punish Sierra, and Sierra knows it. She feels every bit of it. It’s not like it was a surprise, it’s not like it was a secret. On the other hand, though, Sierra is too stubborn and would much rather get her way. She’s not just going to walk out and give them the satisfaction.
Sienna Jade: Well, Eden, I’ll have you know it feels GREAT. Beating someone like her is a different feeling entirely! Not that it’s such a difficult match to win, but because it’d be so satisfying beating someone as bratty as her! I mean, she deserves it. She deserves to get beaten, embarrassed.
(Sienna grins, smug, as Eden ndos in response.)
Eden Sinclair: Oh, I do agree. Trust me-
Sierra Everett: Oh, give it a fucking rest.
(Eden and Sienna look towards Sierra, who is not having it whatsoever.)
Sierra Everett: Honestly, I shouldn’t be surprised at this at all. Really, I shouldn’t. I shouldn’t be sitting here wondering when it’s gonna end, I shouldn’t be sitting here getting mad at every comment, because I knew it was going to happen! It’s like you’re obsessed! Listening to you two speak separately is one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had in life, listening to you two speak together is even worse, and hearing you two speak about ME together is the worst of them all. This is so fucking annoying. From the start, this match was designed to do this. This match was always supposed to be some sort of fucking punishment from Eden, and it doesn’t surprise me in the slightest that she organized something like this. Getting my opponent to trash talk me with her, right in front of me. It’s such an Eden Sinclair thing to do and I hate it. I seriously do. I’m not surprised that you’re sitting here, Sienna, talking to Eden and she’s saying that she hopes to see you get the job done.
Sierra Everett: But, much like all of Eden’s other plans, this one is going to go awry. This is going to fail. This is going to backfire. I’m going to love it. See, you’re making fatal flaws over and over and over without exactly realizing it. You’re making the biggest mistakes of your entire career. I’d be able to beat you regardless, but here you are sealing the deal not only riling me up, but the fact is, you’ve been overlooking me since day one. You’ve been acting like I’m not even a threat and it’s the worst thing you could have done in this scenario. Because it leads to things like last week happening. It leads to things like you not expecting the things I’ve done, and how you won’t expect the defeat coming at your hands at Reckless Wiring. You shouldn’t have bothered agreeing to this match, Sienna, because I can assure you that I’m not the one who will look like a joke by the time it’s all over, it’s going to be you, and the woman who has been making my life hell for the past few months. You’re not gonna get away with doing this for long.
(Sienna chuckles, as she shakes her head in denial. She doesn’t agree with any of that in the slightest.)
Sienna Jade: You talk such a big game, Sierra, but your big issue is that you have no idea how to actually back it up, and that’s been evident throughout your entire career. You’re not even ready for less than me, so how could you actually think that by the time Reckless Wiring comes around next week, you’re going to beat me and you’re going to pick up a victory you have been so desperate for your entire life? You don’t impress me. Last week is the best you are ever going to get. You’re never going to reach a high like that ever again and you’re certainly not going to get that high on a marquee of all stages. It’s just not in your DNA to do something like that. You’re not “simply better” than anyone, you’re a dreamer, a poser trying to be the next best thing, but you’re one of the least impressive people I’ve ever actually had the displeasure of encountering. I hope I make you realize just how hopeless you actually are here, because when it comes down to it, this isn’t what you’re built for and that is going to be none more evident than Reckless Wiring. But hey! At least you can tell yourself “well I lost to a Hall of Famer” to cope with the aftermath of what’s going to happen.
(Sierra groans.)
Sierra Everett: Is this just gonna be your whole thing? Is this all you’re gonna say? Are you just gonna sit here and deny me forever, because you know that it’s not going to work. You know that it’s just a recipe for disaster, you know that it’s not going to work. If there’s anyone coping right now it’s you. You’re overlooking me just to make your ego feel better-
Sienna Jade: Trust me, Sierra, if that was it you’d know by now. There’s so many things I should be doing instead of this. I have better things to do than entertain somebody like you. You’re acting like I wanna be here to employ some “schtick” but realistically if there was nothing to gain from it, Sierra, we wouldn’t have the issue that we do. At all. I’m not overly ecstatic about facing you either. I’m not overly excited to be in the ring with you and I believe that my efforts would be best placed elsewhere. If there wasn’t something in it for me, I wouldn’t be here. But the thing is, I like it when there’s something in it for me. I like it when there’s something I have to gain. That’s like the only thing keeping me here Sierra. It’s the only thing that’s keeping me entertained, it’s the only thing that’s keeping me fighting to face somebody like you. It’s the only thing that’s making me do my job and go against you at Reckless Wiring. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be anything between us. I wouldn’t care. You give me no reason to care. That’s just it.
Sienna Jade: There’s no justifying this match taking place other than that. It’s the only legitimate reason. If I didn’t have something to gain from interacting with you, antagonising you and ultimately defeating you, there wouldn’t even be any justifying why you of all people are getting a marquee match against me. As a matter of fact, there’d be absolutely no justifying why you’re getting a marquee match against somebody on my level. Anybody of a similar stature to me would feel the same way because this just isn’t something that you’re ready for in the slightest and it’s going to reflect in every single bit of action that you take. It has been. It will be. I’m essentially wasting my time knowing that I’m getting rewarded for it later on, if you want to see it that way. I’m doing something I have absolutely zero desire to do, something that isn’t worth my time, something that isn’t worth my effort, and something good will come out of it. That is my driving force. So I hope you’re mad. I really hope that this gets on your nerves. I really hope that you cannot see this match any other way than you do right now, and I hope it frustrates you.
(Sierra grabs onto the chair arm tight, digging her nails into the rich fine leather.)
Sierra Everett: YOU’RE RIGHT. IT DOES. Are you happy? Are you happy that all of your stupid little hopes came true? Are you happy that everything you have been desiring here is paying off? You say that this isn’t worth your time but quite frankly my time is so much more valuable than yours, and seeing someone like Eden Sinclair get buddy buddy with you just to spite me sure is a waste of that time.
(Eden clears her throat.)
Eden Sinclair: We’re getting a little bit too intense here, aren’t we Sierra?
Sierra Everett: SHUT UP. YOU KNOW THIS IS WHAT YOU WANTED.
(Eden grins. Sierra was right. Eden is getting everything she wanted, and so is Sienna. Not just today but overall. Sierra feels as if she has to put an end to it. It’s the only thing she can do. She can’t let them have the last laugh, for the one who laughs last laughs best. That has to be Sierra. She wants to laugh best as she forces their plan to implode.)
Sienna Jade: Sierra. You’re so butthurt over the fact that I don’t take you seriously, but you’re not realizing the truth. The truth that this is all your fault. You had an entire season to change my mind here. You had an entire season to make me look at you differently. You didn’t do that though, did you? You didn’t change anyone’s worldviews on you, you justified every single thought instead. You’re still just a nobody that shouldn’t even be in the same ring as me. That’s why this punishment is fitting for you. You were never going to do anything but lose at Reckless Wiring, however now after everything that’s unfolded? I have so much more reason to make an example out of you, and prove to not just me, the world, but to YOU that you are nothing compared to me. Not in the slightest.
(Sierra immediately rushes to her feet, and Sienna slowly joins her. Sierra is boiling with rage…)
Eden Sinclair: I mean, she’s right you know. Think of all the losses you’ve had over the past year. All of the failures you’ve had. What more is another one?
(Sierra immediately turns her head to Eden, before raising a fist. She looks to hit her, and Eden flinches…)
Eden Sinclair: CALM DOWN, SIERRA! ARE YOU GONNA HIT A PREGNANT WOMAN???
(Sierra hesitates for just a moment, still boiling with rage. She turns her attention to Sienna.)
Sierra Everett: You’re right. That’d just be too easy.
(Sierra clenches her fist, and Sienna notices it…)
(She just laughed.)
Sienna Jade: :mjlol2:! Right.
(Sienna pats her on the shoulder, before brushing her off and leaving the room, without a care.)
Sierra Everett: This fucking bitch…
(Sierra looks at Eden, and the empty seat. She really wanted to hit her. She hesitated for just a moment, perhaps due to the stress of the situation, and it cost her. Eventually we begin to fade elsewhere.)
(Commercial for Denny’s featuring Ronan Malosi, who recommends their Lasagna.)
( Sunday Night Voltage returns from a brief commercial break, with the crowd satisfied from the previous match and eager to watch more exciting entertainment unfold once more. The camera then slowly fades to Bella Braxton standing at the center of the ring with a big smile on her face, ready to announce the upcoming wrestling contest. )
Bella Braxton: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
( ‘good 4 u’ by Olivia Rodrigo hits the PA system as Valerie Hellstorm makes her way out with a devilish smile on her face, pausing at the middle of the stage and looking around as she waves to the crowd that boos her. Valerie smiles and winks at the camera, displaying her beautiful appearance and confidence as she heads towards the ring. She looks very confident for her match tonight. )
Bella Braxton: INTRODUCING FIRST!… FROM HUNTINGTON BEACH, CALIFORNIA!… WEIGHING IN AT 135 POUNDS!… ‘THE INEVITABLE FUTURE’ !!!!… VALERIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!… HELLSTORMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!
James Peters: THE GIRL BOSS IS HERE! Valerie has her Bloodsport match coming up against Bea Valentine, Dray Fontana, Ayu Megumi, Korey Gaines, and her opponent this week, Mr. Wrestling XIX. Valerie has been calling herself Mr. Wrestling XIX, and she has also been very loyal towards Queen Bees for some reason, at least she used to. Now, she has to go up against Mr. Wrestling XIX to prove herself before heading into Bloodsport!
Persephone: She’s just ass. Her opponent as well.
( Valerie goes into the ring as she starts warming up her wrists, then turns back around once ‘Aerials’ by System of a Down hits the PA system, and the boos continue. Mr. Wrestling XIX slowly steps out with a menacing expression, looking down into the camera, and projecting an aura of intensity. He pushes the camera away and heads straight to the ring where Valerie stands tall and waits for him. )
Bella Braxton: AND HER OPPONENT… FROM NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE…. WEIGHING IN AT 233 POUNDS… ‘THE LORD OF THE RING’ MR. WRRRRREEEEEESTLIIIIIIINNNGGGGG XIX!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: Here is Mr. Wrestling XIX looking totally merciless and vengeful, as always. He has his match against Valerie Hellstorm tonight to prove his strategic ability before heading to Bloodsport as well. We are going to witness something fun here tonight, can’t wait to see what these two could bring into the ring today!
Persephone: I can wait. In fact, can we just not see it at all?
( DING DING DING! )
James Peters: Another bloodsport preview match is on its way! Two competitors from the Unique Opportunity match come and face each other once again! Valerie Hellstorm takes on Mr. Wrestling XIX! Mr. Wrestling has a ton of experience, which is why he claimed to be Mr. Wrestling XIX. As much as what we have seen in his match against Drake King, this proves that Valerie Hellstorm is going to have an arduous task to undertake here tonight.
Rich Russillo: Valerie approaches Mr. Wrestling, and she’s already trying to take him down by his legs. Mr. Wrestling XIX is surprisingly quick and surprises her by taking her down instead with a Double Leg Takedown. Mr. Wrestling XIX steps back in and now starts putting Valerie under pressure with a headlock. The headlock is going to keep Valerie down for a bit, and even though Mr. Wrestling XIX is a bit older in this match, he still proves that he has more strength and force to control this match and make sure Mr. Wrestling XIX remains on top.
Persephone: This hag has more strength and force than Valerie? Are you stupid or what?
James Peters: I think what Rich means is what’s going on right now because, at the moment, Valerie is having quite a hard time-fighting Mr. Wrestling XIX back. She’s trying to pry him off, yet she’s still not able to because of how tight that headlock looks from a distance. Mr. Wrestling XIX now releases Valerie and picks her up from the ground, sending her sprawling to the ground and delivering a kick that sends shivers down her spine! Mr. Wrestling XIX slips back into ensnaring Valerie in the very same headlock position once more!
Rich Russillo: Mr. Wrestling XIX needs to make the opportunity worthwhile for him to take on Valerie every single night at the end of the tunnel she tries to head towards. The headlock keeps getting tighter, and Valerie could be fading out sooner if she’s not able to escape from there.
Persephone: Valerie probably couldn’t even wrestle either. You know, Korey Gaines and Valerie Hellstorm are on the same level when it comes to talent. Neither of them could cut a promo even if they tried. Should we even give them some hope at this point? She’s a total lost cause, and she should be gone by now.
James Peters: Mr. Wrestling XIX performs a switcheroo with his tactics, with both feet standing on the ground, thrusting her to the ground as Valerie lies on the ground. Mr. Wrestling XIX leisurely ambles towards her and bombs a knee right on her face, leaving her prostrate on the canvas!
Rich Russillo: Mr. Wrestling XIX has been making headway in this match against Valerie Hellstorm; she’s remaining grounded and hasn’t escaped his radar just yet. Mr. Wrestling XIX now releases her and hauls Valerie up from the canvas, setting her back on her feet. He retaliates with a knee drive to her gut, propelling her back towards the ropes and sending her flying across the ring. Valerie launches herself off the ropes, and as Mr. Wrestling XIX attempts to clothesline her, she deftly ducks under his arm and sprints towards the ropes once more. Valerie rebounds and meets Mr. Wrestling XIX head-on, delivering a Running Superkick that takes down Mr. Wrestling XIX!
James Peters: Mr. Wrestling XIX has just been taken down by a thunderous running Superkick right across his jaw! Mr. Wrestling XIX certainly wasn’t prepared for that, now staggering back into the corner. Valerie glances back to where Mr. Wrestling XIX is positioned, lying in the corner. Without hesitation, Valerie rushes straight to the corner and connects with a quick clothesline! Mr. Wrestling XIX falls right into her grasp, and Valerie turns him around, hoisting him up onto her back as she starts lifting Mr. Wrestling XIX off the ground!… GORY FLATLINER BY VALERIE PLANTS WRESTLING! VALERIE HOOKS THE LEG!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Rich Russillo: KICK OUT BY MR. WRESTLING!
James Peters: That Gory Flatliner is surely enough to cause considerable damage to Mr. Wrestling XIX, and now it seems like Valerie has gained a better upper hand in this match right now. MMr. Wrestling XIX is being picked up by Valerie, and she slams him to the ground with lightning speed, following up with an elbow drop that knocks the wind out of him, leaving him holding his chest in pain!
Rich Russillo: Valerie scrambles her way back to both feet and now charges at Mr. Wrestling XIX as she starts raining down a barrage of stomps on him! Mr. Wrestling XIX is totally defenseless at the moment, with Valerie mercilessly stomping the hell out of him with all her might!
James Peters: She’s trying to inflict as much damage as she possibly can at this moment. Every moment and chance is important to her right now! Valerie now stops stomping and begins sitting on Mr. Wrestling XIX as she continues raining down punches and slaps on him!
Persephone: This is what it looks like when someone finds out you made a lame website talking shit about other people while hiding behind the keyboard like a fucking loser who loves watching 2D anime girls and has never taken a shower.
James Peters: Mr. Wrestling XIX is being worn out at the moment, and what is Valerie trying to do here? She starts stabbing his face with her sharp nails! This woman is insane! Is she trying to make him bleed at this point?
Rich Russillo: Guys, this situation is as tough as nails (no pun intended) for Mr. Wrestling XIX! Valerie is going hammer and tongs against that man, and it seems like she wants to take him down for good! What on earth did he do to get under her skin like this? Is this just Valerie’s true colors showing, or did Mr. Wrestling XIX push her buttons and light the fire within?
James Peters: I don’t think Mr. Wrestling XIX may want to back away from the competition just yet, Rich! Mr. Wrestling XIX is now using his elbow and starts hammering the top of her head while Valerie tries to remain on the ground! Valerie still keeps on attacking him, but now she starts slowing down by Mr. Wrestling XIX’s counterattack.
Rich Russillo: Mr. Wrestling XIX takes Valerie right back down on the ground and now begins jamming his right knee into her gut repeatedly while she’s already on the ground. Valerie talked about knocking someone when they are already down on the ground is pathetic, but when she does it herself, karma now begins to tire her back. Mr. Wrestling XIX unloads his right knee right into her gut on repeat, and keeps serving up his right knee like an endless buffet, no reservations needed! This looks very nasty for her right now!
James Peters: Mr. Wrestling XIX is pulling out all the stops, unleashing some crafty submission maneuvers on Valerie once more. He’s got her trapped in a sleeper hold like a snake coiling around its prey after she’s been taking quite a beating from him lately. Valerie finds herself tightly ensnared in his grasp, and there’s little chance of her escaping anytime soon. Mr. Wrestling XIX seems to have all the cards in his hand, firmly in control of the situation!
Rich Russillo: This is still far from throwing the towel in for Valerie, even though the situation looks awful for her at the moment. Mr. Wrestling XIX has her remaining on the ground, as much as how much Mr. Wrestling XIX wants to make sure she won’t be moving out of his scope sooner or later here. Mr. Wrestling XIX keeps Valerie under pressure, and she isn’t even moving! Valerie may be done here!
James Peters: HOLD ON, DON’T CALL IT YET, RICH! SHE’S STILL ALIVE! VALERIE TWISTS AND TURNS LIKE A CAT CHASING ITS TAIL, DESPERATELY REACHING FOR THE ROPES, WHILE MR. WRESTLING XIX TIGHTENS THE GRIP, TRYING TO PUT HER LIGHTS OUT IN A HEARTBEAT! IF VALERIE DOESN’T TAKE ACTION SOON, SHE COULD BE SINGING HER SWAN SONG IN THAT SLEEPER HOLD!
Persephone: Good, so we can move on.
Rich Russillo: VALERIE REMAINS DETERMINED, STRETCHING HER ARM OUT, DESPERATELY REACHING FOR THOSE ROPES, HOPING TO BREAK FREE FROM THE CLUTCHES OF THE SUBMISSION HOLD! MR. WRESTLING XIX SHOWS NO SIGNS OF GIVING UP EITHER, STILL ATTEMPTING TO BRING HER DOWN! HE KEEPS THE HOLD LOCKED IN, STRONG AND STEADY, BUT VALERIE IS RELENTLESS IN HER EFFORTS TO BREAK FREE!
James Peters: WAIT! MR. WRESTLING XIX SUDDENLY RELEASES THE HOLD AND SWIFTLY DRAGS VALERIE OFF THE CANVAS, PULLING HER BACK UP TO HER FEET. SEIZING THE OPPORTUNITY FROM BEHIND, MR. WRESTLING XIX GOES FOR GERMAN SUPLEX, TOSSING HER OVER HIS HEAD WITH INCREDIBLE FORCE!
Rich Russillo: VALERIE STRIKES BACK WITH A WELL-TIMED ELBOW TO MR. WRESTLING XIX’S FACE! SHE KEEPS JAMMING HER BACK ELBOW INTO HIS FACE REPEATEDLY, AND IT LOOKS LIKE MR. WRESTLING XIX IS STARTING TO WEAKEN NOW! HE’S DOWN ON BOTH KNEES, AND VALERIE SEIZES THE OPPORTUNITY, DELIVERING A SERIES OF KICKS TO HIS FACE! SHE’S WORKING ON MAKING HIM FEEL AS WEAK AS POSSIBLE, AND IT SEEMS TO BE WORKING IN HER FAVOR! MR. WRESTLING XIX REMAINS ON BOTH KNEES AS VALERIE RUNS TOWARDS THE ROPES, USING THEM FOR MOMENTUM AS SHE REBOUNDS OFF!
James Peters: VALERIE LOOKS FOR THE ‘V-TRIGGER’ BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE, BUT MR. WRESTLING XIX QUICKLY REGAINS HIS FOOTING AND SIDESTEPS, MANEUVERING BEHIND HER TO LOCK HER UP FOR ANOTHER SUPLEX! VALERIE ANTICIPATES THE MOVE AND INTERCEPTS, SENDING MR. WRESTLING XIX ROLLING DOWN ON THE MAT!
Persephone: This match really makes me SICK.
Rich Russillo: MR. WRESTLING XIX SPRINGS BACK TO HIS FEET AND REDIRECTS HIS ATTENTION TOWARDS HER, CHARGING AT FULL SPEED. BUT VALERIE DISPLAYS INCREDIBLE AGILITY, FLIPPING HIM OVER AND TRANSITIONING INTO A SLEEPER HOLD OF HER OWN! NOW IT’S VALERIE WHO HAS MR. WRESTLING XIX FIRMLY LOCKED UP THIS TIME!
Persephone: Oh yay, another submission hold to drag this match to be even longer! Bravo on prompting the audience to take a piss break, guys! :clap: :clap:
James Peters: VALERIE HAS MR. WRESTLING XIX LOCKED UP TIGHT THIS TIME, AND HE’S ALREADY FEELING THE EFFECTS OF THOSE PUNISHING PUNCHES AND KICKS SHE DELIVERED EARLIER! MR. WRESTLING XIX HAS ALREADY BEEN TO BE IN A WEAKENED STATE, AND IT’S UNCERTAIN IF HE’LL BE ABLE TO MOVE ANYTIME SOON. HE’S ALREADY SUSTAINED SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE, AND VALERIE HAS A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY TO SECURE A VICTORY IN THIS MATCH! VALERIE MIGHT BE PICKING UP A WIN FASTER THAN WE PREDICTED!
Rich Russillo: WAIT JUST A MINUTE!

Rich Russillo: HE JUMPS OVER AND ROLLS HER UP INSTEAD! BOTH SHOULDERS ARE DOWN!
Persephone: THREE! DING DING DING!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THRE-
James Peters: VALERIE RELEASES THE HOLD JUST IN TIME! SHE ESCAPES THE COUNT OF THREE!
Rich Russillo: :whew:
Persephone: :snoop:
James Peters: That was a very smart tactic employed by Mr. Wrestling XIX there! He was on the verge of winning, but luckily for Valerie, she managed to escape right before things went downhill! He rolls away, clutching his neck, which was targeted by Valerie earlier!
Rich Russillo: Valerie quickly recovers and charges towards him, attempting to send him tumbling over the top rope with a clothesline! Mr. Wrestling XIX counters and throws a powerful right hand at her. Valerie ducks underneath it and retaliates with a well-placed kick, driving him back inside the ring! VALERIE SNEAKS BACK IN AND NOW SHE’S GOT HIM IN A COQUINA CLUTCH, LOOKING TO PUT MR. WRESTLING XIX DOWN ONCE AGAIN!
James Peters: MR. WRESTLING XIX MANAGES TO ESCAPE THE HOLD, CAUSING VALERIE TO ROLL TO THE GROUND IN FRONT OF HIM! VALERIE QUICKLY GETS BACK ON HER FEET AND LUNGES AT MR. WRESTLING XIX! MR. WRESTLING XIX COUNTERS WITH A DROP TOE HOLD, SENDING VALERIE’S FACE CRASHING TO THE MAT! SEIZING THE OPPORTUNITY, MR. WRESTLING XIX JUMPS DOWN FROM BEHIND AND LOCKS HER IN A CROSSFACE SUBMISSION HOLD!
Persephone: I’m very tired working with children.
Rich Russillo: VALERIE ESCAPES FROM UNDER HIS ARMPIT, SWIFTLY MANEUVERS BEHIND MR. WRESTLING XIX, AND SPINS HIM AROUND! RIPCORD KNEE STRIKE CONNECTS PERFECTLY, KNOCKING MR. WRESTLING XIX OUT COLD! VALERIE GOES FOR THE COVER!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THREE!-
James Peters: NO! HE KICKS OUT! MR. WRESTLING XIX KICKS OUT AT TWO!
Persephone: I know what his name is. Also, how long is this match going to last? I really can’t take this anymore. Seriously, this match is fucking totally awful and boring. Why do people even pay to watch this? Are they insane?
James Peters: VALERIE NOW SLOWLY BACKS UP TO HER FEET, BUT SHE STILL MAINTAINS A TIGHT HOLD OF MR. WRESTLING XIX’S WRIST THERE! MR. WRESTLING XIX IS NOT MOVING, AND VALERIE HAS HIM RIGHT WHERE SHE WANTS HIM. SHE SWIFTLY TURNS MR. WRESTLING XIX AROUND AND SENDING HIM CRASHING ON HER SHOULDER! MR. WRESTLING XIX IS IN TROUBLE! VALERIE IS SETTING UP FOR HER FINISHER, ‘THE FINAL FLASH,’ RIGHT HERE!
Rich Russillo: MR. WRESTLING XIX IS AWARE OF HIS CURRENT PREDICAMENT AND QUICKLY MANEUVERS TO POSITION HIMSELF BEHIND HER! MR. WRESTLING XIX SWIFTLY TURNS HER AROUND AND SENDS HER FLYING OVER HIS HEAD! HE CONNECTS WITH A NORTHERN LIGHTS SUPLEX, EXPERTLY BRIDGING INTO A PINNING POSITION, PRESSING HER RIGHT BACK TO THE GROUND!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THRE-
James Peters: VALERIE KICKS OUT!
Rich Russillo: MR. WRESTLING XIX DOESN’T WASTE ANY TIME AND POSITIONS VALERIE NEAR THE CENTER OF THE RING. HE TAKES A FEW STEPS BACK AND CHARGES RIGHT AT HER, CONNECTING WITH A DEVASTATING KNEE STRIKE TO THE BACK OF HER HEAD!
James Peters: MR. WRESTLING XIX ROLLS BACK TO HIS FEET AND PICKS VALERIE UP FROM THE GROUND. HE LIFTS HER OFF THE CANVAS AND NOW HAS HER IN HIS GRASP!… ‘WRESTLING DRIVER’ !!!!!!!! MICHINOKU DRIVER PLANTS VALERIE!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THREE-
Persephone: Yes?
Rich Russillo: WOAH WOAH! NO! VALERIE STILL KICKS OUT!
Persephone: Goddamit.
James Peters: AND MR. WRESTLING XIX IS RUNNING OUT OF PATIENCE, AND HE GRABS VALERIE’S LEFT LEG, PUTTING HER IN AN ANKLE LOCK! VALERIE IS TRAPPED, AND IT SEEMS LIKE MR. WRESTLING XIX IS GOING TO BRING HER TO HER END WITH THIS ONE!
Rich Russillo: NO! VALERIE MANAGES TO KICK HIM AWAY JUST BEFORE MR. WRESTLING XIX COULD HAVE PUT AN END TO HER RIGHT THERE! MR. WRESTLING XIX STAGGERS AWAY A BIT, AND VALERIE QUICKLY GETS BACK TO HER FEET. SHE RUNS TOWARDS MR. WRESTLING XIX, LOOKING FOR THE ‘V-TRIGGER’ BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE! MR. WRESTLING XIX EVADES HER MOVE, SWIFTLY GRABS HER, AND SPINS HER AROUND, CATCHING HER IN THE ‘CASH OUT’ SUPLEX INTO DOUBLE KNEE BACKBREAKER!
James Peters: HE LANDS HER ON BOTH KNEES! ‘CASH OUT’ BY MR. WRESTLING XIX! HE GOES FOR THE COVER!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
( DING DING DING! )
Bella Braxton: HERE IS YOUR WINNER!… MR. WRESTLING XIX!
James Peters: Mr. Wrestling XIX does it! He beats Valerie Hellstorm and proves himself right! What a great match that I just witnessed.
Persephone: Yet, you bragged and did all of that instead of telling the truth about this match. I’m telling you, this is one of the worst matches I have ever seen in my whole entire life, and I do not need to watch this ever again. Both of them need to retire as soon as possible.
Rich Russillo: I love this match! Valerie brings something interesting to the match here tonight, while Mr. Wrestling XIX showcases his strength to stay on top in this competition! Great match from both competitors, and we are looking forward to Bloodsport as well!
( ‘Aerials’ by System of a Down begins playing as Mr. Wrestling XIX looks back at Valerie, who is knocked out cold down there. He shakes his head and raises his arms up as the winner of this match. The final shot displays Mr. Wrestling XIX standing above Valerie Hellstorm, while she slowly begins rolling down towards the ringside as Mr. Wrestling XIX remains celebrating his victory as the scene fades to a commercial break. )

( Sunday Night Voltage transitions back into the arena as we see Voltage Commissioner, Captain Charisma standing next to the Bloodsport Wheel of Death. Captain Charisma is looking dapper and sharper as ever as he cracks a smile for those in attendance here tonight on Sunday Night Voltage. Gameshow music would be playing in the background as Captain Charisma would show off the wheel in all its glory, as would the various different match stipulations that are on there. Captain Charisma begins to speak to those in the RDS Arena in Dublin, Ireland! )
Captain Charisma: Welcome back to Voltage!!! Are you fine folks from Dublin loving the show tonight?????
( The crowd would cheer for that as Voltage has been quite the show thus far as another smile cracks open for Captain Charisma. He continues forward. )
Captain Charisma: That is great to hear! We are here once again to spin the holy grail, The Bloodsport Wheel of Death as we’ll find out the stipulation of a match between two tough and gritty tag teams here in EAW. Of course I’m talking about Holly Arrow and Harper Lee of Potara defending their Unified Tag Team Championships against Solomon Stane and Kirk Redwood also known as The Off-Brand Amphetamines!
Captain Charisma: We have seen the tension and the animosity between both teams but now it’s time for us to find out which stipulation they’ll compete in one of our most unique marquee events in Voltage history. So without any further ado, please welcome the champions first, POTARA!!!!!
( The crowd cheers as ‘Tot Musica‘ by Ado would blast through the P.A System as Holly Arrow and Harper Lee make their entrance first. Holly Arrow is seen in her casual attire for tonight’s spinning of the wheel while Harper Lee is in her ring gear as she has a match with Jamie O’Hara following this. They gesture towards the crowd as they look fired up to see what type of match up we’ll get. They both shake the hands of Captain Charisma, as they’re both given microphones by crew members nearby. Captain Charisma continues to speak… )
Captain Charisma: Thank you for joining us to spin the wheel!!!
Holly Arrow: No problem, we wouldn’t miss this for the world.
Harper Lee: Yeah sure, I guess.
Captain Charisma: Since we have the champs out here, ready to see what type of stipulation they’ll get for their match at Bloodsport, we should introduce the challengers of your Unified Tag Team Championships up here so please give a warm welcome to the OFF-BRAND AMPHETAMINES!!!!
( ‘Bringin’ Home the Rain’ by The Builders and Butchers would blast through the arena here in Dublin as boos would start to reign in as Kirk Redwood and Solomon Stane emerge from the stage. Their presence is definitely felt here on Voltage. They would also shake the hands of Captain Charisma as they too would be handed microphones )
Persephone: BOOOOO SHOWDOWN BOOOOOO!!!
( Captain Charisma would begin to speak again as now both teams are now present for the spinning of the wheel. )
Captain Charisma: Alright since we both teams are now present, is it time that we shall spin-
Solomon Stane: Now hold on just second Commish. I think there’s something that needs to be addressed that me and my partner Kirk weren’t all too pleased with. It actually made us a little bit angry.
Kirk Redwood: Yeah you two freaks attacked us last week after our match with Alex and Ruler. Yall blindsided us after we just had a competitive matchup, we kind of champs are you two anyways?
Holly Arrow: Are you for real right now? Both of you have been interfering in our matches first when you interrupted Harper’s match with Alex, then ruining our match against Dominion on Dynasty, a match by the way we were going to win. It was going to be another #PotaraSweep but you two ruined that for us.
Harper Lee: We just got a little payback for what you both did to us, sorry if it’s a revelation for you that receipts are bound to happen, especially if you mess with me and Holly. We don’t regret doing that last week, our reasons are quite valid in doing so and if that upsets… I don’t know, cry harder I guess.
Solomon Stane: You don’t regret that huh? Whatever happens to guys at Bloodsport will be in god’s hands I promise you that.
Holly Arrow: Good, because that attack we did last week is going to be nothing compared to what we’ll do at Bloodsport. It’s going to be even worse, and more brutal and you both will just have to accept that.
Harper Lee: In fact let’s find out what type of match we’ll be having at Bloodsport right now.
( Harper Lee and Holly Arrow would both spin the Bloodsport Wheel of Death. Captain Charisma watches as well as everyone in attendance as they are waiting on what type of match it will be for OBA and Potara. The wheel keeps spinning and spinning, as the anticipation of the arena grows as both teams watch on where it will land. The wheel would eventually land on… )
(…)
(…)
(…)
Captain Charisma: Well there you have it! Potara will defend their EAW Unified Tag Team Championships against Off-Brand Amphetamines in a… LIGHTTUBE DEATHMATCH!!!!!
( The audience would cheer for that stipulation, as both Potara and OBA seem content with that being the stipulation for their title match at Bloodsport. Captain Charisma would then ask both teams… )
Captain Charisma: Are both teams satisfied with the stipulation at hand?
Harper Lee: Sure.
Holly Arrow: Lighttube Deathmatch? Okay!
Solomon Stane: Yeah that stipulation is perfect for the Off-Brand Amphetamines because we get to smash some light tubes over the heads of our disgraceful Unified Tag Team Champions.
Kirk Redwood: You said it best Solomon, take this as a warning from the OBA, as we’re willing to do whatever it takes to walk out of Bloodsport as your new Unified Tag Team Champions. We are vicious, we are gritty, and we are hungry. Since things have been heated between us for the past couple of weeks, we’ll be looking forward to giving you Potara bums a reminder that anything can happen in this industry, and you both shouldn’t be comfortable with your spots as tag team champions. It all can change with a simple light tube smashed over your head!
Solomon Stane: That’s right, that’s right. Anything can happen in this industry, and The Off-Brand Amphetamines becoming two time tag team champions is for sure a possibility that can occur. After our failed attempt at winning those tag team titles at Pain for Pride, we chose to challenge you to rectify the mistakes we made and do what we couldn’t do in Nashville. That failed success has made us learn, made us want another chance to become champions. In just a few short weeks you’ll see the new faces of this tag team division, a team with violence and dominance written in their names. Whatever I may do to you in our Lighttube Deathmatch, whatever that may be, or whatever Kirk decides he wants to do, it all be in the ‘will of God’. You’ll be tasting your own blood on that canvas when we walk out of Denmark as your new Unified Tag Team Champions.
( The crowd would boo at what OBA had to say towards Potara as both Holly Arrow and Harper Lee looked at each other at what they just heard. Holly would be the first to respond as she tells them… )
Holly Arrow: We aren’t afraid of you boys, we aren’t afraid of you taking our tag team titles away from us. We are more than comfortable getting in the ring with the OBA, and even comfortable hitting light tubes over your guys’ heads. Last week should have told you guys everything that needed to be said. You both picked a fight with the champs, and we were more than ready to answer it. You both picked a fight with the best tag team in the world, and we answered back with force.
Harper Lee: We’re on top of this division because simply put we are the best, best in the world like Holly said. Until we face a team capable of beating us, capable of actually taking these titles away from us, we’ll remain exactly where we are. Off-Brand Amphetamines are not that tag team and at Bloodsport it will be quite clear that Potara will still remain on top of this game.
( The crowd would cheer for the champions as Kirk and Solomon then look at each other and crack a smile as Solomon answers back… )
Solomon Stane: You both realize how screwed you are at Bloodsport? You’re going to be in the ring with an all out bruiser in Kirk Redweed, and a monster of hell like myself. We’ll have light tubes at our disposal to hospitalize you both and let you suffer in our violence.
Kirk Redwood: This match is tailor-made for the OBA, and Potara you both aren’t going to be prepared for what we are going to do to you both at Bloodsport. You don’t see us as that team to beat you guys? That’s fine we’ll just take those titles by force. Everything that has happened, is going to be nothing compared to what our match will be.
Harper Lee: You’re going to take these titles by force? Nah I don’t think you have the capabilities of even doing that. You’ve had a shot at these titles back at King of Elite and what happened? You lost! You had another opportunity to win these titles at Pain for Pride and what happened? You lost again! You’ve had numerous chances of taking these titles and claiming them as your own but you haven’t been able to since last year. You are not taking these titles from us and now we have the freedom to literally bash your head in with light tubes and leave you guys broken.
Holly Arrow: Bloodsport is just going to be the same result it was for us when we won these titles at Grand Rampage, when we defended these titles at Pain for Pride. It will be the same outcome because everyone here knows it’s #PotaraSweep and nothing else. I think we have done enough talking right Harper?
Harper Lee: I think so too.
Solomon Stane: You both wanna go right now, let’s do it come on.
Kirk Redwood: Yeah let’s do it, we don’t gotta wait till Bloodsport.
( Captain Charisma would move out of the way as both Potara and Off-Brand lunge towards each other as they have started brawling with each other! The crowd here in dublin are going wild as they cheer for the fight that’s taking place between these two teams. )
Rich Russillo: BOTH TEAMS ARE GOING AT IT RIGHT NOW!!! ALL ORDER HAS BEEN LOST AS OBA AND POTARA ARE THROWING FOREARMS AT EACH OTHER! OBA! POTARA! OBA! POTARA!
James Peters: You know the tension and the animosity between those teams were deeply rooted but now it’s reached boiling point and now they’re delivering haymakers at each other.
Rich Russillo: A punch was laid out from Solomon to Holly but Holly would answer back with a punch of her own! Harper and Kirk are exchanging forearm shots with each other as the crowd here tonight are absolutely going ballistic.
James Peters: Security have finally come out here to break this brawl up as one side is blocking Off-Brand Amphetamines while the other is blocking Potara. The fans here are now booing at the security for doing their job and trying to restore order.
Persephone: Security is so damn boring, they let them fight ughhhhhhhh.
(Security would break apart the brawl between OBA and Potara as both teams still continue to trash talk to each other as OBA are escorted to the backstage area. Meanwhile, security would nudge Potara all the way to the ring-side area as both Holly and Harper collect themselves after that brawl. Harper Lee now gets herself prepared she’ll fight against Jamie O’Hara in a few moments as Sunday Night Voltage heads to commercial break. )
( The camera cuts to a commercial for Doordash delivery, and how you can be delivery driver today featuring Amir Yusuf. )
( As Voltage returned from commercial, the scene was set on the ring which currently inhabited Harper Lee in her corner, turned towards the outside where Holly Arrow was, the two speak with one another for the moment as Harper was set for upcoming in ring action. )
Bella Braxton: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!
Bella Braxton: ALREADY IN THE RING, ACCOMPANIED BY HOLLY ARROW… FROM CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA… WEIGHING IN AT 118 POUNDS… SHE IS, ONE HALF OF THE EAW UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS… HARPERR LEEEEE!!!!
Persephone: It seems like Harper pre-gamed a little bit before this match with a warm up between herself, Holly Arrow, and the Off Brand Amphetamines — An extremely smart decision on her end to get into a brawl directly before her match against an Elitist of the caliber of Jamie O’Hara, truly a genius decision on her end!
Rich Russillo: Despite your sarcasm, Harper has some business to take care of soon enough between her team POTARA against the OBA, of course she’s going to defend her teams Legado!
Persephone: … Legado?
Rich Russillo: La Familia, El POTARA!
Persephone: Please, shut up.
( Finally to the end of Harper’s wait, ‘Kashmir’ by Led Zeppelin blasted through the speakers to a slightly mixed response from the crowd; though a resounding amount of cheers pushed through above any other response, as Jamie O’Hara slowly began to make his way out from the titantron’s opening, a composed look on his face as he eyed down Harper; making his way down the ramp as he slid into the ring, the referee making sure to keep space between the two so no altercation could break out, as Jamie turned away from Harper to the hard cam, staring into it as a slight grin formulated on his face, flexing both ends of his leather jacket outwards; before making his way into the corner, slowly stripping off his jacket as he through it on the outside of the ring, settling into his corner as he awaited for the bell. )
Bella Braxton: AND HER OPPONENT… RESIDING IN LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA… WEIGHING IN AT 190 POUNDS… HE IS ‘THE ACE’…. JAMIEEEEEEEEE OOOOO’HARRAAAAAAAA!!!
James Peters: I suppose we’ll see now if Harper choosing that brawl before this match will come to be her demise, because Jamie is coming out here looking as poised as ever!
Persephone: Back to business, POTARA loses because of a bad decision for a feud that’ll end at Bloodsport, sigh. I really should write a book about the right’s and wrong’s of what to do in EAW, for clueless Elitist like those two.
Rich Russillo: You know , I don’t think Holly’s busy right now, why don’t you go ahead and tell her how stupid she is and how much you could help her?
Persephone: … Hey look, the match is about to start!!!
James Peters: :mjgrin:
( Ding! Ding! Ding! )
James Peters: And this match up is OFFICIALLY underway! It seems every week Voltage continues to put on Marquee Matches on weekly shows; and we see no difference in that pattern as we are ready for Jamie O’Hara Vs Harper Lee!
Rich Russillo: This is sure to be a great match between two of EAW’s cemented greats in their own rights; and from how I see things? This is anybody’s match to win. All it’s gonna take is skill through and through, no mistakes are able to be made tonight; as Jamie and Harper make their way to the center of the ring, looking for a lock up — but Harper quickly sliding behind Jamie; waist lock applied onto him as she tries to lift him up….
James Peters: But an elbow from Jamie keeps his feet on the floor! Jamie stopping Harper from delivering that suplex early — OR NOT! It looks like Harper is trying to will O’Hara up once more for that German Suplex, but Jamie is using as much resiliency as he can!
Persephone: And the stubborn nature not to let Harper get away early in this match works in his favor, as Jamie lands ANOTHER hard elbow into the head of Harper; making her bring him back down once more, as O’Hara looks to squirm out of the hole…
Rich Russillo: BUT HARPER LEE WONT BE DENIED, PUSHING THROUGH THOSE ELBOW SHOTS AND LIFTING UP JAMIE O’HARA FOR A GERMAN SUPLEX, BEFORE SMASHING HIM DOWN!!!
Persephone: …OR NOT! Off the German Suplex attempt, Jamie landed on his feet! Somehow flipping back into a vertical base as he uses the ropes behind him to keep himself up, Lee still grounded for the moment — AND A DOUBLE FOOT STOMP INTO THE CHEST OF HARPER FROM JAMIE!!!!
James Peters: And Jamie just one step ahead to open up this match, as Harper quickly begins to roll towards the corner; O’Hara allowing her to as he looks to be picking his spot here on when to strike; with Harper quickly finding herself against the bottom turnbuckle in a seated position… AND JAMIE CAPITALIZING ON HER POSITIONING, RUNNING FORWARD TO HARPER AND LANDING A HESITATION DROPKICK RIGHT ON HER TEMPLE!!!!
Persephone: And Harper had simply NOWHERE to go as that Dropkick landed perfectly, Holly on the outside of the ring here trying to rally her partner, but Jamie isn’t letting an early comeback happen, as Harper rolls slightly out of the corner; Jamie bringing himself up to his feet as he LEAPS onto to the middle rope, BEFORE COMING DOWN WITH A LEG DROP ACROSS THE THROAT OF HARPER, YES A COVER! END IT!!
OOOOOOONNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE—-
James Peters: And a KICKOUT right before one here from Harper, Lee keeping herself alive in this match as O’Hara has to keep the pressure on now if he wants to have the momentum firmly in his favor still; as Jamie gets to his feet, Harper now beginning to stir on her hands and knees as O’Hara notices the situation before him; running the ropes as he circles back to Harper, LOOKING FOR A POSSIBLE STOMP ONTO HARPER’S SKULL!!! —
Rich Russillo: EVADED! Harper simply pulling her body backwards so that Jamie would stomp the ground; Harper surviving a possible fatal move here as Jamie staggers forward — BUT HARPER LURCHING OUT AND GRABBING THE TIGHTS OF JAMIE TO PULL HIM DOWN INTO A ROLL UP ATTEMPT!!!
OOOONNNNN—-
Persephone: Or not… It seems like Harper allowed him to escape the hold, Jamie rolling over on his back as he bopped back up into a position on his knees…
James Peters: AND A SUPERKICK BY HARPER!!!! Harper wanting Jamie to fall into her trap, and it worked perfectly as Jamie hits the canvas now following that blow from Harper; who knows seems to be running on steam here, turning to the ropes behind her as she jumps onto the bottom one — GIVING HER A LITTLE ADDED HEIGHT FOR A SPLASH THAT HITS THE CORE OF JAMIE — AND NOW INTO THE COVER!!!
OOOONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
TTT—
Persephone: And a kick out right before two from Jamie! Though no matter if he made it out of that or not, Harper feels the momentum surging through her veins now after that counter; as she transitions directly from the pin attempt into a chokehold onto a downed Jamie!
Rich Russillo: A great strategy here from Harper, if she can wear down Jamie? She can win this match, and O’Hara seems to be struggling to get her off here, with Jamie SLOWLY beginning to drag both himself and Harper back up to their feet, Lee not letting go on that chokehold for a second; though FINALLY for Jamie he manages to push against the lower back of Lee; sending her forward into the ropes as he escapes the chokehold —
James Peters: BUT HARPER OFF THE REBOUND WITH A CROSSBODY ONTO JAMIE! She’s not giving him any leeway here; as Jamie hits the mat hard off the crossbody, Harper quickly kipping up to her feet, grabbing Jamie to follow her into a vertical position; RUNNING to the corner with Jamie in tow — AND HARPER WITH A HOLD ON O’HARA’S HEAD AS SHE JUMPS UP AGAINST THE TOP ROPES, SPINNING AROUND… TORNADO DDT!!!
Persephone: AND JAMIE BEING SPRUNG ACROSS THE RING FROM THAT DDT, CLUTCHING HIS HEAD AS HARPER ONCE AGAIN PULLING OUT YET ANOTHER FEAT OF OFFENSE HERE, SCRAMBLING UP TO HER FEET AS SHE JUMPED TOWARDS THE COVER ON JAMIE —
Rich Russillo: But Jamie WISELY rolling out of the ring to stop a possible pin attempt here, as Harper Lee HITS the mat; looking on as Jamie hits the outside floor, sighing; knowing even that very SMALL a chance he’d be out from her basic maneuvers is now out of her hands entirely.
Persephone: I mean you just have to be faster than that; not to say Harper wasn’t moving quickly, but you’re facing Jamie O’Hara. Whether you like it or not, if you want to beat him? You have to work double time. You have to be the Usain Bolt of In-Ring Talents; or else? This happens.
James Peters: Though one thing is for certain, if anyone can make a situation like this profitable? It’s Harper Lee. As now, Jamie begins to stir on the outside; beginning to reach his feet as Harper does the same thing in the ring, ideas blossoming in her mind as she begins to work; seeing O’Hara FINALLY in a dazed vertical position, Harper runs the ropes; turning back to where Jamie is on the outside… AND HARPER LEE WITH A SUICIDE DIVE!!!! —-
Rich Russillo: NO!!! JAMIE HAD IT SCOUTED, GETTING INNOVATIVE AS HE HOOKS HIS LEG OVER HIS HEAD FOR A ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO HARPER LEE WHILST SHE’S MID AIR, AS SHE INSTANTANEOUSLY FALLS TO THE FLOOR, CRUMBLING AS JAMIE JUST SWITCHED THE MOMENTUM JUST LIKE THAT!
Persephone: And Harper better be lucky this isn’t a falls count anywhere match; because if Jamie could just fall into the pin attempt here? She might’ve just lost this match.
Rich Russillo: I mean I’d have to agree here simply based off the fact she’s lifeless on the floor; even Holly is a bit in shock off of what just happened, looking towards her partner who is laying on the floor; though she isn’t in the fetal for long, as Jamie SLOWLY wills her up to her feet; PUSHING her into the ring before the ref can even begin to count them out!
James Peters: And Harper just being dragged into the ring with no movement in sight, as Jamie followed directly behind; though it seems here that he isn’t buying the fact Harper’s out, not going for a pin attempt here as Jamie runs forward towards her — SENTON!!! A SENTON from Jamie clashing against Harper who just GRUNTS in agony; as now O’Hara is confident enough to test a cover!!
OOONNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
TTTTWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!!!
Persephone: Really??? Another kickout??? I’ll be honest here, I think that Senton woke up Harper instead of inflicting more damage, so maybe that added offense actually came to be the bane of Jamie’s plan; as Harper Lee somehow keeps herself in this match up.
James Peters: Though even with the amount of pushing she’s doing for herself here; this is Jamie O’Hara we’re talking about — if one plan doesn’t work? It’s time for plan B, or C, or D, or Z ; there is an endless amount of possibilities with a competitor like Jamie, so safety is NEVER secure… WHICH IS MADE EVIDENT BY JAMIE NOW TO HARPER, AS HE GRABS BOTH LEGS AND PULLS HARPER INTO A BOSTON CRAB!!!
Rich Russillo: And Harper is FIRMLY in that hold, the exhaustion and pain being so far plagued onto her she’s barely even reacting to the clear pain she’s going through other than slight facial expression; just RESTING in the middle of the ring inside Jamie’s applied submission; as she looks to be resting momentarily? I mean it’s good to regain your composure, but doing that at the cost of your legs and core? It just ISN’T a wise decision, as Harper seems to be taking her time grabbing her bearings; before FINALLY trying to crawl to the ropes!
James Peters: And Holly trying to rally her partner, SMACKING the apron over and over as she motivates Harper to fight through the peril, and snd slowly… I think it’s starting to work!
Rich Russillo: It is! Harper beginning to slowly but surely make her way to the bottom rope… BEFORE GRABBING ONTO IT! Harper Lee FORCING Jamie off of her as he lets go the momentum she touches the bottom rope; Harper seeming to have a little safety here —
Persephone: OR NOT, AS JAMIE GETS UP JUST TO STOMP DOWN AT THE LEGS OF HARPER THAT WERE JUST TARGETED, O’Hara CLEARLY having his target in this match; as Harper CLUTCHES her legs with one hand and the bottom rope with the other; as the ref is FORCE to split them off after a count of five!
James Peters: And Holly just checking on her partner after the referee split both competitors up, Harper clearly in a decent amount of pain now as she SMACKS the ring mat; trying to brush off the cobwebs she’s harbored recently in this matchup; as she turns back towards Jamie who is staring down at her, with Harper not shying away from a fight; as she utilizes the middle rope to help pull herself up to her feet, before FINALLY reaching a vertical position!
Rich Russillo: Though there is a clear limp in Harper’s step here, not that she’d let that intimidate her as she stares down Jamie; O’Hara unmoving for the moment… BEFORE SUDDENLY BURSTING FORWARD, LOOKING TO SEND HARPER BACK DOWN TO THE MAT WITH A BASEBALL SLIDE DIRECTLY TO HER LEFT LEG —
Persephone: BUT HARPER JUMPED OVER HIS ATTACK! Landing back down to the mat as Harper chose the lesser of two evils; that jump still hurting her, though a far better option than to allow Jamie to land that baseball slide unto her; as O’Hara tries to get up to his feet quickly to rival Harper —
James Peter: AND A LARIAT FROM HARPER DOWNS JAMIE! Though O’Hara up to his feet quickly off bouncing down to the canvas, not letting Harper get away that easily… AND ANOTHER LARIAT FROM HARPER!!! With Jamie once more trying to reach his feet, though this time in a more dazed state as he springs up — DIRECTLY INTO ‘DRAGON FIST’ RIGHT HOOK FROM HARPER!!!
Rich Russillo: And that is the move that sends Jamie tumbling backwards; sending him directly into the ropes as he rebounds forwards towards her again — AND A SINGLE KNEE FACEBREAKER FROM HARPER TO JAMIE!!!
Persephone: And you can TELL she was running on pure instinct there, with regret beginning to seep in that she vitalized an attack using her legs yet again; as Jamie falls to the mat, though VITAL time being wasted on Harper trying to shock some feeling into her legs; before FINALLY crawling into the cover on O’Hara!
OOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
TTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!!
TT—
Persephone: AND A KICKOUT FROM JAMIE!
James Peters: O’Hara relishing in all that lost time from Harper as he manages to benefit off of it for a kickout; as Harper possibly just furthered her own injury for nothing at this point, unless she can further her offense right now? Her fate might already be written out.
Rich Russillo: For her case, she better hope you’re not entirely right; as now Harper begins to rise back to her feet, barely ahead of Jamie who is stumbling upwards into a vertical position himself; as Harper turns towards him, looking to grab onto him by his head — BUT JAMIE THE STRATEGIST, STOMPING ONTO THE FOOT OF HARPER; AS SHE INSTANTLY BEGINS TO HOP ON ONE LEG, GRABBING ONTO HER LIMB IN AGONY!
Persephone; She made a fatal mistake in showing a weakness here, ESPECIALLY to Jamie; as O’Hara QUICKLY turns to get behind a distracted Harper; pulling her up from behind… ‘INTO THE DREAMSCAPEEEEE!!!!!!’
Rich Russillo: AND THAT COULD PROVE TO BE FATAL HERE, AS JAMIE CRASHES DOWN WITH HIS SIGNATURE MANEUVER ONTO HARPER, QUICKLY TRANSFERRING DIRECTLY INTO THE COVER AS HE LOOKS TO PUT THIS MATCH AWAY!!!
OOONNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!!
TTHHHHRRREE—
Persephone: AND HARPER STILL MANAGING TO MUSCLE OUT!
James Peters: BUT EVEN SO, JAMIE DOESNT GIVE HARPER EVEN A MOMENT TO RELISH IN THAT FACT AS HE LOOKS TO… YES, HE HAS THE SHARPSHOOTER FIRMLY ONTO HARPER LEE! THE SHARPSHOOTERS LOCKED IN!
Rich Russillo: And almost INSTANTLY Harper’s hand begins to hover over the mat, AGONY etched onto her face as she shook her head; trying DESPERATELY not to top as Holly continues to try and motivate her partner, making sure she doesn’t quit just yet as Harper is SUFFERING right now, and there isn’t a shred of mercy from Jamie to be found!
Persephone: It’s a slow, SLOW crawl to those bottom ropes for Harper, as she begins to navigate herself closer and closer to that promise land… UNTIL JAMIE NEARLY EFFORTLESSLY JUST PULLS HER BACK INTO THE CENTER OF THE RING!!!
James Peters: And just like that, Harper is dragged right back into her personal hell; as she groans in agony, her hand going back to hover over the mat as she is unsure whether or not to quit here… BUT THE FIGHTING SPIRIT OF h HARPER KEEPS HER ALIVE, As Harper PUSHES her feet outwards with so much force that it FLINGS Jamie forward, sending him against the ropes to rebound back…
Rich Russillo: AND HARPER JUST FORCING HERSELF UP TO HER FEET QUICKLY, GRABBING UP JAMIE AND FORCING HIM INTO THE AIR, BEFORE COMING DOWN WITH AN OLYMPIC SLAM!!!!
James Peters: One of her FAVORITE moves in her arsenal just plants down Jamie; hitting the mat hard, as Harper is looking to hit a second wind here in this match!
Persephone: One that could be pivotal seeing as how we’re so late into this match, if she can pull through on some newfound energy? Jamie might not be able to keep up! As now, Harper pulls Jamie up to his feet; standing behind him as she wraps her arms around his waist, possibly looking for the maneuver she was unable to land at the very beginning of this match…
Rich Russillo: GERMAN SUPLEXXX!!!! The German landing successfully onto Jamie, though Harper refuses to let go of him just yet; pushing both herself and O’Hara back up to their feet, not wanting to give him any breathing room it seems… AND ANOTHER GERMAN SUPLEX!!!
James Peters: BOOM!! And you know what they say, you see one… you see two… HARPER LOOKS LIKE SHE’S GOING FOR THREE! Jamie just being dead weight to her now, though somehow she isn’t reacting to it in the slightest; her legs somehow not buckling as she rises up to her feet once more —
James Peters: AND A THIRD GERMAN SUPLEX ONTO JAMIE, AS HARPER FINALLY LETS GO! O’Hara just CRUMPLING in the center of the ring, as Harper gets to a knee; taking a breather for a moment as Holly continues to RALLY her from the outside, pointing towards Jamie as it seems like Arrow is telling Harper to finish things off now!!
Persephone: That’s right, because now it seems that Harper is setting up Jamie into a position that leads to her putting COUNTLESS opponents away; O’Hara resting on his stomach as Harper grabs and pulls back both of his arms, HARPER LOOKING TO CLOSE IN ON VICTORY HERE AS JAMIE SIMPLY HAS NOWHERE TO GO…. ‘SLEEPING ON THE FLOOR!!!!’ ——
???: AAGGHHHH!!!!
James Peters: WELL THE FINISHER CONNECTED DOWN ONTO JAMIE… BUT IT SEEMS LIKE THE PRESSURE ON HARPER’S KNEE FINALLY CAUGHT UP TO HER!!
Rich Russillo: YEP! She’s clutching at that left leg now, in a WORLD of pure pain and anguish; another moment of valuable time being wasted due to this injury, as she RESTS on the mat next to Jamie, unable to go for a pin quickly… before FINALLY muscling through as she crawled over and draped an arm over his chest, LOOKING FOR THE COVER!!!
OOONNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
TTTWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
THHHHRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
…
Rich Russillo: AND JAMIE KICKS OUT!!! JAMIE HAVING JUST ENOUGH TIME TO RECOVER!!!
Persephone: And that’s SOLELY to blame on Jamie’s early targeting on Harper’s legs, O’Hara’s plans evidently saving him as Lee is FORCED back to the drawing board!
James Peters: If she can even make it there, because from the looks of it, she can’t even STAND! Harper just trying to get some feeling in her legs as Jamie begins to stir next to her; Lee having no choice but to go against her body’s best wishes, following Jamie up to a vertical position; HARPER REELING BACKWARDS AS SHE WILDLY LOOKS TO SEND ANOTHER ‘DRAGON FIST’ ONTO JAMIE —
Rich Russillo: AND JAMIE JUST DODGES IT!!! RUNNING FORWARD TO GET BEHIND HARPER AS SHE TURNS AROUND — DIRECTLY INTO A PELE KICK!!!
Persephone: And Harper just falling to the mat off the Pele Kick, giving Jamie EXACTLY what he wants here; as he turns to Lee, moving towards her as he hoists BOTH of her hands up; looking to put the finishing touches on here, HARPER UNABLE TO EVADE HIS ATTACK….
James Peters: ‘HATHAWAY’S DREAMSSSSSS!!!!! THE KAMIGOYE CONNECTS, AS HARPER CRUMBLES TO THE GROUND AND JAMIE FALLS INTO THE COVER!!!
OOOOONNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
THHHHRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
( Ding! Ding! Ding! )
( ‘Kashmir’ by Led Zeppelin began to play as Jamie O’Hara slowly rolled off the cover, holding his core as he sat up; trying to get a grip on himself as he made his way slowly up to his feet. The referee raises Jamie’s hand, holding it high in the air as Jamie looked back to Harper who was still curdling her feet close to her gut, acknowledging her only for a moment before turning back to the hard-cam as the fans cheered on; celebrating his win. )
Bella Braxton: HERE IS YOUR WINNER…. JAMIIEEEEEEEEEEEE O’HARRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!
James Peters: And just like that Jamie O’Hara PULLS through with a win tonight! And again, you simply can’t mention enough how much of this match was riding on if Harper Lee was able to work through the pain she was going through, and looking back at it now? The torment she was going through simply was too much to bear, as Jamie took advantage and sealed this match tonight!
Rich Russillo: And you have to think what would’ve happened if Harper instantly got into the cover right after hitting her finishing maneuver. We’ve seen Jamie kick out of huge moves, but this is the first time these two have faced one on one. Right now we could be seeing her hand raised; and I’m sure that’ll have the possibility to eat at her a bit as she comes out with a loss tonight after what was a great performance all things considered.
Persephone: Orrrrr, maybe she would’ve been better off if she didn’t get into a fight literally right before the match. Who knows, and who cares?
( Slowly, Jamie lowered his arm; beginning to roll out of the ring and to the back as his theme continued to play out, holding his gut as he limped up the ramp, heading into the back slowly; as the camera circled back to the ring where Harper Lee continued to lay in pain, as Holly Arrow rolled into the ring; checking on her tag team partner. )
Holly Arrow (off-mic): You did good, Harper; you fought like a warrior.
Harper Lee (off-mic): Sigh . . .I feel like I’m going through Pins and Needles on steroids.
Holly Arrow: (off-mic): You’ll be good, I’m here to help you to the back, I’m sure we can get you into medical fast, you’ll be fine.
Harper Lee (off-mic); Yeah, I guess so…
( Harper said, clearly a bit disappointed as Holly offered up a hand; pulling Harper to her feet as Lee rested her weight onto the shoulder; slowly, the two began making their way to the ropes, looking to exit towards the back.. )
Persephone: Hold on; FROM BEHIND, IT’S –
CRASH!!!!
James Peters: OFF-BRAND AMPHETAMINES, KIRK REDWOOD AND SOLOMON STANE; THEY JUST INVADED THE RING WITH LIGHT TUBES IN HAND; AND SWUNG THEM ACROSS THE HEADS OF HOLLY AND HARPER WHEN THEY WEREN’T LOOKING!!!
Rich Russillo: And blood INSTANTLY pouring down the heads of both Holly and Harper, the light tubes CRACKING against their skull, alluding to the stipulation for their Bloodsport match, with it being a LIGHTTUBE DEATHMATCH; as Solomon Stane and Kirk Redwood looking to deliver a message here!
James Peters: And off impact both Holly and Harper look to be incapacitated, lying on the floor as Solomon and Kirk drop the broken light tubes; smirking as they look down at our fallen Tag Team Champions, they didn’t forget about what happened previous to this match; and now? They look to send a message en route to their Championship match a week from Sunday!
( Kirk and Solomon continue to stare down at Holly Arrow and Harper Lee, before KICKING them out the ring; both Holly and Harper falling to the floor as Kirk and Solomon slowly turn back to the hard cam, the crowd booing; though they were tuned out by both members of the Off Brand Amphetamines, as Redwood and Stane began to raise their hands up in the air, as ‘Bringin’ Home The Rain’ hit the speakers; Off Brand Amphetamines standing tall, as the scene slowly faded out to commercial from there. )
(Promotional ad for Bloodsport, where POTARA defends the Unified Tag Team Championships against Showdown’s Off-Brand Amphetamines in a Lighttube Deathmatch.)
( As the hard-cam up at the top of the rafters inside the RDS Arena in Dublin, Ireland slowly scaled down towards the ring; we were set for what looked to be some in-ring action, as a colorful competitor was already in the ring; a HUGE smirk on her face as she bounced around in her corner, ready to make her EAW Debut! )
Bella Braxton: INTRODUCING FIRST, ALREADY IN THE RING… WEIGHING IN AT 123 POUNDS… SHE IS, ‘THE IRISH CLOVER’… SALLY SINCLAIR!!!!!
Persephone: I don’t know about you guys, but in that ring? I don’t see a local competitor. I don’t see an underdog; in front of us today? I see a future Universal Women’s Champion!
( The camera cut to the broadcast booth to show the number one contender to the Specialists Championship, Jamie Cross, who has joined the broadcast team for this match. )
Jamie Cross: Really? :lupe:
Persephone: Nope. :mjlol:
Jamie Cross: Well I wouldn’t say THAT, Sandy looks like she could really shock the world here; I mean lightning can always strick in a bottle, right?
James Peters: Well to Persephone’s point here, you did just forget her name was Sally, not Sandy . . .
Jamie Cross: Oops, I’m bad with names; what can I say? :wow:
Rich Russillo: I’m sure you’ll get better at this the more you’re on commentary, and what should’ve been first and foremost – Welcome to the team!
Jamie Cross: Much appreciated to be here! I’m ready to give my insight on all things RASSLIN’ . . . Although if I don’t know a move name I’m relying on you guys to pick up the slack. :yikes:
James Peters: No worries. :mjlol:
( Though finally, ‘Changed It’ by Nick Minaj blasted through the speakers; as none other than Milli Banks began making her way out to the ring, Specialist’s Championship resting against her waist as she wore a huge smirk on her face, a poised and confident demeanor seeping from the Champion as she made her way down the ramp quickly, eyeing down Jamie who was opposing her on the outside of the ring; Cross nodding to Banks as Milli just kept her smirk firmly on her face, leaping onto the apron with help from the middle rope; before spreading herself through them and entering the ring, turning to the hard-cam as she spread her arms out wide; before rubbing her BEAUTIFUL Specialist’s Title, as she stripped it off her waist and gave it to the ref for safe keeping on the outside, backing into her corner as she awaited the bell. )
Bella Braxton: AND HER OPPONENT, SHE IS THE SPECIALIST’S CHAMPION… MILLIIIIII BANKSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!
Persephone: Jamie?
Jamie Cross: . . .Yes?
Persephone: It’s your time.
Jamie Cross: Time for what?
Persephone: Duh, do what everyone else does when they are commentating for the person they’re gonna fight; CALL HER A BITCH!
Jamie Cross: I don’t know about all that. :whoa:
Persephone: Gotta get that dawg in you, if you want to beat Milli Banks for the Specialist’s Championship; you’ve gotta learn how to trash talk, it’s like, the second most pivotal thing about wrestling – Don’t worry, if you stay under my wing; I’ll show you a little something something for next time. :mjlit:
James Peters: Oh boy.
Jamie Cross: :oh:
( Ding! Ding! Ding! )
James Peters: Focusing towards in ring action here now, We have Milli Banks versus Sally Sinclair in what should be an interesting match up to say the least, as Milli instantly steps forward to the middle of the ring as Sally paces around!
Rich Russillo: And it looks like Milli is waiting for Sally to come to her; although Banks looks almost… Welcoming? Raising an arm out to Sinclair, this is TRUE signs of sportsmanship from our Specialist’s Champion!
Jamie Cross: I’ll give her credit, Milli helping out the new stars looking to make an impact on the scene with sportsmanship like this? I have to give her some respect for that –
Persephone: OR MAYBE NOT, AS SALLY COMES TO TAKE THE HANDSHAKE FROM MILLI BANKS; BUT IS MEANT BY A SLAP RIGHT ACROSS THE FACE THAT HAS SO MUCH POWER, IT NEARLY MAKES HER DROP TO THE FLOOR!
Jamie Cross: . .. Guess not.
Rich Russillo: And with Sally SOMEHOW still on her feet, Milli has the opportunity to make a move – AND A MASSIVE RIGHT HAND FROM MILLI THAT PRACTICALLY KNOCKS OUT SALLY!
Persephone: And she isn’t done yet as she climbs atop of Sally, before RAINING down punches onto her; hitting the nose of a DEFENSELESS Sinclair, which is already beginning to leak out blood EARLY INTO THIS MATCH!
James Peters: Thankfully for Sinclair’s sake though, the referee HAS to get Mlli Banks off after a five count, Milli Banks rising to her feet as she embraces the moment and her momentum here early on in this match, Sally practically UNABLE to reach a standing position, and I don’t think Milli’s gonna wait for her to try!
Rich Russillo: Milli must’ve woke up on the wrong side of the bed today, because she is giving NO mercy to this New Breed, hoisting her back up to her feet from the floor, grabbing her arm before slinging her into the ropes –
Persephone: ‘NEW BODDYYYYYY!!!!!’ THE KAIROPRACTOR MANEUVER LANDING UNTO SALLY, LEAVING HER LIFELESS ON THE MAT; AS MILLI INSTANTLY GOES INTO THE COVER!!!!
OOOOONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
THHHHHRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
Jamie Cross: Hold on, did she just…
Persephone: What??? Milli Banks just raised Sally’s shoulders off the mat – she isn’t done yet and her opponent isn’t even FIGHTING BACK!
James Peters: Looking now, it seems that Milli is going directly from the pin attempt to the ropes, climbing from the bottom turnbuckle before LEAPING to the top; and Banks turns back to face the ring, facing a LIFELESS bloodied Sally Sinclair — ‘MILLI-ON-AIR’!!!!!! THE CORKSCREW SHOOTING STAR CONNECTS, AND WE SEE ANOTHER COVER HERE FROM MILLI!!!!!!
OOOOONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
THHHHHRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
Persephone: AND AGAIN, MILLI RAISES SALLY’S SHOULDER OFF THE MAT!!!
Jamie Cross: But WHY? This match was won for her a long time ago, show the girl some mercy; she’s clearly down and out!
Rich Russillo: Mercy doesn’t seem in the wheel house of Milli Banks anymore, as she flips Sally onto her stomach… Wait, she isn’t… There’s no need for that !!!!
James Peters: SHE IS!! MILLI BANKS IS PUTTING SALLY SINCLAIR IN HER FINISHING MANEUVER, ‘WELLS FARGO!!!!’ AND NOT EVEN A MOMENT INTO IT; SALLY TAPS, MILLI WINS!!!
( ‘Changed It’ by Nicki Minaj blasted through the speakers as Milli CONTINUED to apply her submission hold onto Sally, before finally letting go after some additional post match brutality; as she SLAMMED the head of Sally into the mat, before getting up; raising her hand high. )
Bella Braxton: HERE IS YOUR WINNER…. THE SPECIALIST’S CHAMPION…. MILLIIIIIIIIIIII BANKSSSSSSSS!!!!
James Peters: That was…
Jamie Cross: Disgusting.
Rich Russilo: Unrelenting…
Persephone: Amazing!
James Peters: Milil Banks just going all out tonight in her match against Sally, possibly to make a point to you, Jamie?
Jamie Cross: Point or no point, James; what she just did? Was entirely wrong. We’ve been back and forth all month, but to have to ‘prove’ yourself at the cost of Sally? There wasn’t any true benefit in that but to embarrass someone trying to make a name for themselves!
Rich Russillo: I have to say, the mindset of Milli Banks surely changed tonight; and you have to wonder, what is SHE thinking right now?
Jamie Cross; I don’t care what she’s thinking, all I know is I’m gonna give her a piece of my mind.
Persephone: OOO, HERE WE GO! Fireworks!
( Jamie stood up from her seat behind the desk, grabbing a microphone that was under the cardboard piece resting atop the announcer’s table, as she stared down Milli in the ring who was still celebrating her victory. )
Jamie Cross: Milli, what was that?!
( Jamie’s voice booming through the speakers finally caught Milli’s attention, as she raised an eyebrow; hands on both hips, wondering what exactly was Jamie talking about? )
Jamie Cross: I get what you’re trying to do, intimidate me, right? But at what cost? What you just did wasn’t right at ALL. You made sure she stayed in this match just to give her punishment she didn’t deserve, shattering her confidence… How could you stoop so low?
( Jamie inquired, disappointment on her face as Milli sighed, calling over for a mic to be given to her as a stagehand ran one towards the ring, sliding it inside for Milli to pick up, before she flipped her gaze back to Cross. )
Milli Banks: You don’t get what I’m trying to do, Jamie; you still don’t. I’ve given you this month, a month full of lessons; seeds of advice, and visual imagery of what you need to be getting through your thick skull, AND YET? Nothing. It hasn’t connected ONCE. People can’t say I haven’t tried with you, because I have tried EXTREMELY hard to make you see where you are oh so, very wrong.
( Milil said, Jamie crossing her arms; not knowing exactly where Milli was trying to go with this. )
Milli Banks: You might be uncomfortable by what I just did, but guess what? I didn’t bend the rules. All of that fell under the stipulations of a regular sanctioned match, and that is EXACTLY what she signed up for. What – you don’t like the violence? You don’t like the pain she’s feeling right now because you thought it was unneeded? Newsflash, Jamie – we’re in the real world.
Milli Banks: One too many Marvel Comics have gotten you a little deluded to the planet we’re on; what I did? Isn’t irregular to fights, not just in EAW, but around every street corner. Right outside this arena; fights so that people can SURVIVE. If anything, what I did just now doesn’t hold a candle to what someone would do to make ends meet for themselves and their families; and yet, you think I took it too far? You think I went overboard? Jamie, WAKE UP!
( Milli said, the disappointment transferring to her face as she stared a hole into Jamie Cross. )
Milli Banks: You know something, I’m blessed. I’m blessed to be here right now, because lord knows I could be in a far worse situation. Thank God I had my gymnastics career to keep me on the semi-straight and narrow, and when that fell through? Another opportunity opened up for me, so that I wouldn’t have to DO that every night of the week just to SURVIVE. Was it easy? Not in the slightest. This industry is violent, my match at Pain For Pride embodies that fact perfectly. There will never be LIMITS to what can and can’t go on in this business, so what do I do? Did I show away and give up? Or did I grow accustomed to the Violence, and not just that, but I THRIVED under it.
Milli Banks: The question was rhetorical, because looking where I am now; the answer is a given. Adaptability, Jamie – learn it. Sometimes in life you’re gonna be put in situations you’re uncomfortable with, but instead of shying away? Be a Milli Banks. Do better for yourself and win yourself a Specialist’s Championship under the cruelest of elements; WIN yourself a Universal Women’s Championship, WIN yourself the EAW World Championship; but you only do that when you realize that we aren’t here to play soft, it’s all or nothing because without this you might just BE nothing.
( Milli said, dropping the microphone to her side after a passionate bit of speaking into Jamie, who was slightly taken aback by what Milli had said… Though nevertheless, she didn’t see it as right. )
Jamie Cross: What you just said is completely right, but your actions were still oh so wrong. Right now, Sally could be in a TERRIBLE condition; and you caused that yet again, for a POINT. Putting her through a gauntlet, BUSTING her nose, BURYING her with Finishing Maneuvers… All for what? This? We could’ve DONE this for the past THREE weeks, this heart to heart didn’t have to happen at her cost; you’re bringing third parties into this that have no reason in being brutalized like that.
Jamie Cross: You’re a mixed bag, Milli. An amazing, talented wrestler; but you can be oh so heartless at times. To know that might be her last time in an EAW ring, and you gave her that sendoff? That was cruel and you know it. A simple victory would’ve been enough to get my interest, but you want more than just that; you want to embarrass people like her – people like me!
Jamie Cross: This style of wrestling… It isn’t my forte. It’s never been my thing to get so brutal in the ring; and you wonder how that might affect my mindset… It doesn’t. It doesn’t change how much I want that Specialist’s Championship, so you know what? If you wanted to make an example out of her, fine; I won’t let her pain and anguish be for nothing, example received. But just know that if I need to get dirty like that to strip you of that Specialist’s Championship? So be it. Bloodsport? I’ve prepared for Hell. Because I know you would be damned not to give it to me as I come for your title; and by the time I ENTER that ring with you? You’ll be seeing the most fit Jamie Cross on her A-Game, to claim my defining moment.
( Milli looked on, a slight smirk growing on her face as she nodded to Jamie.)
Milli Banks: You better hope so. If you’re worried about opportunities, like Sally’s, then do her some justice. Specialist’s Championship shots ain’t free like candy, and you coming into a match at Bloodsport with me and fumbling under pressure just because you don’t like a more violent style of wrestling? Would be a waste of my time, your time, and our fans’ time. Things will get bloody, scars will be made; but guess what? I wear mine proudly, so I hope you’ll wear yours the exact way too.
( Milli said, approaching the ropes as she leaned over them; the two facing off momentarily as she slowly brought the microphone back to her lips. )
Milli Banks: Get your head together, Jamie. Or else? You’ll last just as long as she did, and you know I don’t play about claims like that.
( Milli said, before dropping the microphone; Jamie placing hers down on the table next to her, as the tension rose between both Elitist’s; with ‘Changed It’ hitting the speakers once more, as the scene began to fade away, the broadcast coming to a close for the moment as Voltage took a brief commercial break. )
(Promotional ad for Bloodsport, where Dynasty’s Milli Banks defends her Specialists Championship against Jamie Cross in a Taipei Deathmatch.)
( As Voltage returns from commercial break, a screen bar appears. )
[ SCREEN BAR – LIVE VIA SATELLITE: ATLANTA, GEORGIA ]
( The scene opens up to reveal the one and only Rex McAllister. He is seated inside of his home in Atlanta, Georgia, sitting in what is probably his study or office. His own awards and replica championship belts are on display in a tasteful manner, making the room entirely his. On his desk is a wedding photo of himself and his wife, former Elitist Raven Roberts, and that single item is what Rex is currently looking at. Old, buried memories have been brought up in recent weeks thanks to the on-going battle Rex finds himself in against Minerva. Last week, despite getting a victory over the reigning EAW World Champion, Rex was choked out thanks to the razor wire Minerva had placed around his neck. The Hall of Famer, who knows the camera is on him, tears his eyes away from the photo on his desk and stifles a sigh. )
Rex McAllister: I heard Minerva’s words this week and I’m sure she’ll be disappointed to know I’m not in Ireland. I don’t plan to hunt her down and seek revenge, or fire off any more shots… at least not tonight. Truth be told, my wife wanted me home this week. It goes without saying that dealing with Minerva in such a personal manner has reopened a lot of wounds not just for myself, but for Raven as well. It was Raven who had to suffer the humiliation and shame of having her medical diagnosis announced publicly due to her opponent and rival breaking into our home and searching for such information. It was something that she had not yet shared with me due to the impact it would no doubt have on our marriage, not that I would have ever loved her any less. But due to the way Raven was raised and the things she’s gone through in her life, she had her doubts, and yes, at the time, I was hurt that she thought something like that would be a deal breaker for the two of us. Instead of falling apart, I became her rock, and we weathered the storm. I don’t blame Raven for wanting to distance herself from the business. It’s not wrong of me to say that she wasn’t the same competitor after what happened with Minerva, but since then, she’s found other passions.
( The slightest hint of a smile touches Rex’s lips. )
Rex McAllister: Despite the fact Raven has found happiness away from the ring, she was the first person to give me their support when I expressed the desire to return full-time. Raven knows the love I have for wrestling and what EAW means to me, and even though there was always a possibility that the past would come back to haunt us both, she wanted me to continue living my dream. We both agreed to cross the Minerva bridge if it came to it, but it seems as if my Bloodsport opponent didn’t want to waste any time. In a way, I can understand Minerva. There’s a method to her madness, and she’s obviously desperate to keep her name in the conversation about who’s the face of Voltage. Even after defeating someone like Jamie O’Hara at Pain for Pride, there’s underlying insecurity within Minerva and her actions thus far have proven that. But I also wasn’t expecting the rush of conflicting emotions that would come to me facing an opponent like her. I have always been transparent with the EAW Universe when it comes to my thoughts and feelings. I underestimated the toll it would take on me and especially on Raven in dragging all this back up again.
( This time Rex scowls. )
Rex McAllister: I’m angry, but less at Minerva and more at myself. I should be past all of this. I know to expect the absolute worst from people. If I needed any sort of reminder, all I need to do is go back to six or seven weeks ago when Daryl Kinkade, a man I have spent countless hours training with and mentoring, stole a victory over me at Pain for Pride. But even after that lesson learned, I didn’t come into the season immediately expecting to have one of the worst moments of my life revisited. And to Minerva’s credit, that’s not exactly the road she wanted to take either. She wanted to talk about how she’s changed, and maybe that’s true. Karma has certainly gotten her back several times for the sins of her past. I have stayed a fan of the product. I’m up to date on not just current events, but the journeys of the men and women who have come into prominence during my absence. Minerva is no exception, especially when she has cemented herself as one of the best this place has ever seen. She claims my status here in EAW is why she targeted me, and when she decided to pick this fight… one that I was never going to back down from, I couldn’t help but take a trip back in time. As much as I want to forget any of that ever happened, I can’t, and maybe I shouldn’t. In a way, the chain of events that Minerva set off a few years ago made Raven and I stronger as individuals and as a couple. We were tested, to say the very least, and both of us were able to come out on the other side, however Minerva doesn’t get praise for those actions. Her actions were despicable and Raven and I never should have had to go through something like that with the cameras in our faces. Things happen and people do things they eventually come to regret. My wife got her revenge on Minerva, and I don’t want to approach ‘Razorwire Hell’ with revenge on my mind. I want to focus on halting Minerva’s momentum and allowing her own insecurity to continue festering.
( Rex clears his throat. The look on his face is serious, not that anyone would ever accuse him of not being. )
Rex McAllister: Because that’s exactly what you are, Minerva. Deep down, you’re the same insecure young woman that you’ve always been. Every Elitist is a threat to you, especially someone like me, and when I was drafted to Voltage you saw your opportunity. It wasn’t enough just to defeat O’Hara, was it? Instead of getting the most decisive victory of your career, the man formerly known as Yhwach rose up and decided that he wasn’t done with this company. Perhaps if you had put ‘The Ace’ to bed for good, you would be more comfortable with your position on Voltage, but that’s not what happened. Instead, you woke Jamie O’Hara up. Then Jamie was drafted to Voltage, along with other big names and world championship contenders, causing you to feel the need to go out and do something drastic. A true sign of greatness is knowing your place in the hierarchy no matter who comes along but you’ve always had that chip on your shoulder. You came into this company with a superiority complex, looking at the big names on Empire, and needing to take them down. That sort of attitude is fair, but even with all the victories and successes under your belt, you continued to question yourself. You NEEDED to hold the EAW World Championship in order to feel like you were one of the very best, but when it was taken from you, you felt as if your entire world had slipped away. It takes a lot of gall to be virtually undefeated and call the second half of your Season 16 dismal, as if other Elitists wouldn’t have given their first born to have the type of success you had even after losing that title. But that’s just you, isn’t it, Minerva?
Rex McAllister: Nothing will ever be good enough.
Rex McAllister: I’m not mad you decided to target me. In fact, it’s flattering to me. I am a threat to you, and every other Elitist on this roster, and that’s how it’s always been. I may have taken time away from the ring, as is my right as a human being, but my name continued to be spoken about with nothing but the utmost respect. I don’t think you believe you’re that good, Minerva, because if you were THAT confident, you wouldn’t have so much disdain in your voice when you speak about me stepping away. You wouldn’t feel the need to remind all of us that you have never taken a break, no matter what shape you’re in. I firmly believe that if you were to walk away and take some time off, that you would spend all of it anxiously surfing the EAW website and watching videos to see if you were being spoken about. You don’t want to be forgotten, Minerva, and that is your biggest fear as an Elitist. You think if you were to step away, the entire world would forget everything you’ve done and stop speaking about how you’re one of the best. Egos are a fragile thing, and you’re no better than anyone else in that regard. At Bloodsport, your goal is to use me to further cement your greatness, but you never needed a match against me in order to do that. You are one of the greats, even if your past is littered with questionable decisions and shitty actions. You just need the validation. You need the clout. You need that ego of yours catered too and this Elitist isn’t the one. I’ll never back down from a fight and I’ll be glad to shatter your ego and your heart into thousands of pieces. Once ‘Razorwire Hell’ is done and I’m standing tall, you’ll have to find someone else to use in order to get yourself put back together. I may not be there in person, but I’ll be watching your match against Bea Valentine closely. I’ll see you next week.
( Rex’s final words are spoken with conviction, as was the entire speech basically. He knows exactly the type of competitor he’s going to be facing come Bloodsport and no doubt his words were designed just to get under Minerva’s skin. As the scene from Rex’s home faded out, Voltage returned to the ringside area of the main event of the evening. )
(The camera cuts to Bella Braxton in the ring.)
Bella Braxton: The following is your Voltage main event! And it is scheduled for one fall!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!
(“Imma Be” by the Black Eyed Peas hits to heavy boos from the crowd.)
Bella Braxton: Introducing first from Boston, Massachusetts weighing in at 143 pounds she is “the Tom Brady of EAW” BEAAAAAAAAAAAA VALENTTTTTTTTTTTINEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
(Bea Valentine makes her way out to the ring embracing the fans boos as if they are cheers. She seems to believe that everyone in attendance is cheering for her, and she tries to high five some of the fans in attendance, but none of them actually do it. She ignores them anyway, and keeps the grin on her face as she makes it down to ringside.)
Rich Russillo: Bea Valentine’s attitude has been known to get her into trouble, but tonight she may have crossed a line. She injured Dray Fontana, and had the nerve to act like she didn’t do it!
Persephone: #BeaMad
James Peters: Well tonight she has a match against Minerva in the Voltage main event and it is going to be a real test of her abilities. She is facing off against one of the best that we have to offer and we will find out if her attitude is warranted or not.
( “Blood, Milk & Sky” by White Zombie hits to cheers from the crowd. Minerva makes her way out to the stage as Bea Valentine seems to believe the cheers Minerva is receiving are for her. Bea is continuing to celebrate on the top ropes in the ring as Minerva makes her entrance and looks ready to fight.)
Bella Braxton: And her opponent from Bucharest, Romania weighing in at 122 pounds she is the “Black Rose” MINERRRRRRRRRRRRRRVAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!
(Minerva looks focused as she walks down the ramp, not even bothering to entertain any of Bea’s antics as she makes it down to ringside. The cheers continue as Minerva enters the ring, prepared for this main event match.)
Persephone: Gross. I hope Bea kills her tonight, but if she doesn’t, I know Rexy will.
Rich Russillo: Minerva has a big match upcoming with Rex McAllister and you have to imagine that she is focusing on that as well as her match tonight.
James Peters: She is definitely preparing for that big match and it is going to be interesting to see if she is working on her in-ring skills in preparation for that and this could be a preview of what we can expect and how her training is going. Let’s find out!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Rich Russillo: We are underway as Minerva and Bea Valentine look to clash here tonight in our epic main event! The match begins immediately as both women pace around the ring looking prepared to assault each other at any moment. They lock up in the middle of the ring fighting for position. Bea manages to yank Minerva in and apply a headlock! Minerva immediately fights out of it pushing Bea back up against the ropes and shoving her across the ring! Bea runs off the ropes coming back with a Running Shoulder Block which knocks Minerva down on her back. Bea runs off the ropes with Minerva rolling around to avoid her legs. Minerva back up as Bea runs off the ropes… MInerva with an agile leapfrog over the head of Bea who continues to run off the ropes with speed. Bea comes charging back as Minerva grabs her arm and tosses her up into the air and down to the mat with force!
James Peters: Vicious Arm Drag there by Minerva as Bea Valentine rolls up to her feet in the corner but Minerva is already waiting and wrenches the arm around. Minerva repeatedly drives her shoulders into the socket of the opponent. Minerva battering Bea here as she has suddenly taken control of the match using her veteran experience… wait no! Bea drives her knee hard into the gut of Minerva repeatedly! Bea finding a way out of this situation bashing Minerva up against the ropes. Bea whips Minerva off the ropes! Minerva ducks beneath a Lariat and runs off the opposite side of the ring! Minerva comes lunging back towards Bea with a Flying Clothesline! Bea tries to jump out of the way but Minerva had it scouted and the lunging Clothesline connects, turning Bea inside out! Bea does a half flip landing hard on her shoulder and neck in the middle of the ring! Minerva slides into the cover!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: Kickout at two by Bea Valentine! Minerva demonstrating why she is a former World Champion here in EAW. Voltage is her yard and she is making sure Bea knows that! Minerva yanks Bea back up by the arm wrenching it around yet again before yanking the shoulder pulling Bea down to her knees. Bea stands back up as Minerva twists the arm around once more before slamming it repeatedly over the top rope! Minerva just battering that shoulder which has to be in severe pain at this point! Bea desperately tries to yank the arm away from Minerva but it has little effect. Minerva pounds her other arm over the shoulder of Bea before whipping the arm over the top rope one more time for good measure. The referee now ordering MInerva to get out of the ropes as suddenly Bea retaliates with a thumb to the eye! The referee didn’t see it!
James Peters: Minerva staggers backwards as Bea Valentine chops the back of the knee of Minerva causing her to stagger down to her hands and knees in the ring. It looks like Bea might have hurt her arm and shoulder in doing so in the process however. Minerva rolls out onto the apron as Bea recovers in the ring. But Bea not recovering for too long as Minerva stands up on the apron and she sees an opportunity! Bea runs in at full speed rushing Minerva with a Running Dropkick! Minerva is sent flying off the apron and crashes head first into the LED barricade at ringside! Minerva falls to the floor in pain as the referee begins the ten count!
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE!
Persephone: TEN! They should let me do these countouts frfr.
Rich Russillo: Persephone is going to be even more upset as it looks like Bea Valentine is leaving the ring as well to continue the attack on Minerva on the outside of the ring! Minerva slowly getting back up on the outside but is met with straight right hands to the face from Bea! Minerva staggers backwards across the floor eating punches and doesn’t seem to be mounting much resistance…
James Peters: Wait no! Minerva with a hard knee to the gut of Bea Valentine! Minerva retaliating back and begins throwing her own punches! We are getting a straight up all out brawl here on the outside! Minerva grabs the arm of Bea and whips her towards the steel stairs! No! Bea reverses the Irish Whip! Minerva goes flying into the steel steps going knee first into the steps causing them to fall over as she tumbles to the ground landing gut first on the steps in absolute pain. Very impressive counter there from Bea and Minerva is in a bad way!
Referee: FOUR! FIVE! SIX!
Rich Russillo: Bea Valentine rolling back into the ring! But then she rolls back out of the ring resetting the count!
Persephone: :mjgrin:
Rich Russillo: Bea Valentine stalking Minerva now like wounded prey as Minerva slowly back up on hands and knees but eats a Running Punt Kick to the skull from Bea. Minerva unable to get back up she really tweaked her knees there. But Bea tosses Minerva back into the ring looking to finish the job! Minerva fights back with a punch to the gut but eats a Big Boot to the face from Bea who begins throwing furious punches forcing Minerva into submission. Bea picks Minerva back up and runs her into the corner and smashes her head first into the turnbuckle padding. Bea backs off slowly before charging in with a Running Knee to the gut! Minerva somehow still standing just hanging onto the ropes desperately trying to keep fighting but Bea is avoiding every attempt!
James Peters: Repeated elbow strikes from Bea Valentine in the corner eventually knocking Minerva down in the corner. And now Bea driving her boot right into the neck of Minerva choking the life out of her as the referee counts it up!
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! LET IT GO SHE CAN’T EVEN BREATHE!!!
Bea Valentine: (off-mic) Facts. I Bea taking her breath away! <3
Rich Russillo: Bea Valentine drags Minerva back into the ring and hooks her head looking for a Snap DDT! Minerva countering back by ramming her fist into the gut of Bea repeatedly, but Bea grabs the head of Minerva wrestling her down into a Headlock. Bea then throws various punches into the top of Minerva’s head eventually dropping her down on the mat in the ring in pain. Minerva being helped back up once again as Bea whips her across the ring! Bea follows up immediately with a Running Clothesline into the corner and Minerva collapses to hands and knees in the middle of the ring! Minerva is really taking some punishment here tonight and these fans cannot believe it!
James Peters: Bea Valentine back up and throwing punches with Minerva who can barely stand after the punishment she has taken so far in this match! But Minerva throwing shots back possibly on instinct alone as she has more left in the tank than one would imagine! Minerva! Bea! Minerva! Bea! Minerva! Minerva! Minerva!
Rich Russillo: Minerva is gaining momentum here but a sudden kick to the leg from Bea Valentine nearly causes her to fall over! Bea then rushes her opponent with a Running Clothesline knocking Minerva onto her back once more.
James Peters: Minerva is down as Bea Valentine grabs the arm and transitions into a Cross Armbreaker! Minerva may have no choice but to tap! She reaches out towards the ropes!
Persephone: She missed the ropes and her hand hit the mat! That’s a tapout! Ring the bell!
Rich Russillo: No Minerva is still in this! Minerva is struggling and she makes it over to the ropes in desperation! Minerva thrashing her arms and legs to move herself closers and closer! Eventually she gets to the ropes and Bea is forced to break it up! Bea immediately back on the attack but Minerva catches her arm! Minerva throws Bea backwards with a modified Arm Drag! Minerva struggles back to her feet as Bea charges in! But hard shots to the gut from Minerva as she ducks beneath a Clothesline! Bea off the ropes… RUNNING KNEE SMASH–
James Peters: But Minerva side steps that too! Minerva grabs Bea Valentine behind and tosses her back with a Back Body Drop dropping Bea right on her shoulder! Bea yells out in pain here as Minerva now has an opportunity to turn this match around! Both women down as they slowly make it back on up to their feet! Minerva up first as she goes to attack Bea who falls backwards to avoid an attack from Minerva! Both competitors again changing fists in the ring as Minerva grabs Bea around the throat…
Rich Russillo: Minerva lifts up Bea Valentine and drops her with a Double Handed Chokeslam! Minerva collapses from the effort as it took all her strength to pull that off! Minerva slowly crawls across the ring and gets one hand over her opponent and this thing could be over!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
James Peters: BEA VALENTINE GETS THE SHOULDER UP!!!! THIS ONE IS NOT OVER YET!!! Minerva just looks at Bea and shakes her head before slowly pulling herself back up to her feet. Minerva now pulling Bea up, and I think Minerva is done with this match, she’s just going to finish this match up once and for all! MINERVA LIFTS BEA UP INTO A SUPLEX POSITION, EXCEPT I DON’T THINK IT’S A SUPLEX SHE’S GOING FOR! SHE’S GOING FOR ATLAS FAL-
Rich Russillo: NO! BEA VALENTINE DROPS DOWN ONTO HER FEET BEFORE PULLING MINERVA DOWN INTO A SCHOOL GIRL ROLL UP!!!! BEA IS LOOKING TO STEAL THIS ONE!!!! BEA IS TRYING TO PULL OFF A HUGE UPSET TONIGHT!!!!
Referee: OOOOOOOONEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
Persephone: THREEEEEEEEE!!!!!! DING! DING! DING!
James Peters: WRONG, MINERVA KICKS OUT AND NOW SHE QUICKLY GOES TO HIT BEA WITH THE DEVIL’S TOUCH- BUT BEA QUICKLY BACKED OFF BEFORE IT COULD CONNECT!!!! That was a close call, Minerva nearly kicked Bea’s head off right there! This one might’ve been all over if it connected!
Bea Valentine: (off-mic) :whoa: !!!
Rich Russillo: Minerva isn’t too impressed that Bea went with a more cowardly option there, but it saved Bea nonetheless. Minerva now walking towards Bea who seems to be sharing a few words with Minerva, AND NOW BEA TRIES TO CATCH MINERVA OFF GUARD WITH AN ATTACK- BUT MINERVA SAW IT COMING AND IS ABLE TO EASILY MOVE OUT OF HARM’S WAY! MINERVA NOW GRABBING BEA FROM BEHIND BEFORE DELIVERING A GERMAN SUPLEX- BUT WAIT A SECOND! BEA LANDED ON HER FEET, AND NOW SHE QUICKLY COVERS MINERVA ONCE AGAIN LOOKING TO STEAL THE WIN!
Referee: OOOONNNN-
Persephone: WHAT!? ANOTHER KICKOUT THAT FAST, SERIOUSLY!?
James Peters: MINERVA PUSHES BEA OFF OF HER BEFORE GETTING BACK TO HER FEET, BUT BEA VALENTINE GOES FOR A SUPERKICK- WHICH IS CAUGHT BY MINERVA!!! MINERVA CAUGHT THE SUPERKICK, AND NOW SHE GRABS BEA BEFORE PLANTING HER IN THE CORNER!!! MINERVA NOW WITH A SERIES OF FOREARM STRIKES WHILE BEA HAS NOWHERE TO GO, AND I DON’T THINK THIS IS HOW BEA WANTED THINGS TO GO! Bea tried stealing the win on multiple occasions, and it looks like that plan may have seriously backfired as Minerva is all over her!
Rich Russillo: Minerva sends Bea into the opposite corner before the referee could count to five, AND NOW MINERVA RUNS IN BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A RUNNING EUROPEAN UPPERCUT!!! Minerva now sending Bea into the opposite corner, and Bea needs to make something happen here or else this match may very well be over! Minerva now running in, AND THERE IT IS! BEA MANAGED TO GET OUT OF THE WAY AS MINERVA CRASHES INTO THE TURNBUCKLES, FALLING INTO A SEATED POSITION!!!! MINERVA HAD THE UPPER HAND FOR A WHILE THERE, BUT BEA IS ABLE TO TURN THINGS AROUND AS MINERVA IS RIGHT WHERE SHE WANTS HER!
James Peters: BEA VALENTINE RUNS IN, AND THERE’S THE BEA SWARM!!!! THE DOUBLE KNEES CONNECT, AND MINERVA MIGHT BE OUT!!!! We all knew that this was an uphill battle and that Minerva had control for a good majority of the match, but this might be it, Bea may have overcome the odds! BEA PULLS MINERVA AWAY FROM THE ROPES, AND NOW SHE HOOKS THE LEGS TO PUT DOWN MINERVA!!!!
Referee: OOOOOONEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TTTWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TTTHHHRRRRR-
Persephone: WHY DO THEY KEEP KICKING OUT, IT DOESN’T MAKE SENSE!!!!! THIS MATCH SHOULD BE OVER!!! WHY ISN’T IT OVER!?!?
Rich Russillo: Minerva managed to kick out! Minerva is still in this, so unless one Elitist is able to keep the other down, we’re not going anywhere! Bea Valentine is in disbelief, and at this point I’m sure she’s considered just walking out on this match, but how can you give up when you’re this close to the biggest victory of your entire career!? This isn’t just any Elitist, Bea is in the ring with a former EAW World Champion and a future Hall of Famer!
Persephone: Can she just find a weapon to start beating Minerva with?? We all know what she did to Dray, might as well take Minerva out too. It’s what she deserves anyway for everything she did to Rexy.
James Peters: Bea Valentine gets back to her feet, and she just begins stomping all over Minerva. Bea clearly isn’t happy and by this point I’m not even sure if she has a plan or if she’s just throwing whatever she can at her opponent! Bea now pulling Minerva up before sending her into the ropes- BUT MINERVA GRABS ONTO THEM, REFUSING TO BOUNCE OFF OF THEM AND INTO BEA’S GRASP! SMART MOVE BY MINERVA, BUT BEA CHALLENGES IT BY CHARGING IN FOR THE BEA TRIGGER!!!!
Rich Russillo: MINERVA GETS OUT OF THE WAY, AND NOW THERE’S THE RUNNING STO BY MINERVA AS SOON AS BEA TURNED AROUND!!!! Minerva pulls herself up using the ropes, and just like that she’s back in control of the match! Minerva now pulling Bea back up, AND SHE CONNECTS WITH ANOTHER UPPERCUT! ANOTHER ONE! AND ANOTHER- BUT BEA FINALLY FIGHTS BACK WITH A RIGHT HAND! BEA LOOKS FOR A SECOND ONE- BUT MINERVA DUCKS UNDER IT BEFORE PULLING HER INTO A SHORT ARM CLOTHESLINE!
Persephone: This match actually stinks, it’s crazy. Can we stop having matches that don’t include Rex?
James Peters: Minerva now lifting Bea up, POSSIBLY TO SET UP FOR THE PRINCESS KILLER- BUT BEA IS ABLE TO SLIP OUT OF MINERVA’S GRASP!!!! BEA NOW SHOVING MINERVA INTO THE ROPES, AND AS MINERVA BOUNCES OFF BEA GOES FOR THE BIRDS AND THE BEA- NO! MINERVA DUCKING UNDER, AND NOW SHE GRABS BEA FROM BEHIND BEFORE LIFTING HER UP- JUST FOR BEA TO CONNECT WITH A BACK ELBOW!!! BEA VALENTINE NOW GRABBING MINERVA AND PULLING HER INTO AN INSIDE CRADLE- BUT MINERVA IS IMMEDIATELY ABLE TO KICK OUT, CLEARLY PREPARED THIS TIME!
Rich Russillo: BUT WAIT A SECOND! BEA WITH A THUMB TO THE EYE WHILE BOTH ELITISTS WERE GETTING BACK UP, AS BEA USED THAT SPLIT SECOND THAT THE REFEREE COULDN’T SEE MINERVA’S FACE TO MAKE A MOVE! That was a real dirty move by Bea Valentine, but I don’t think Bea cares about something like that! Minerva gets back up holding her eye, AND NOW THERE’S A DROPKICK TO THE THROAT BY BEA, SENDING MINERVA INTO THE CORNER! Bea Valentine seems to have a really good opportunity on her hands right now!
Persephone: You know what? I hope Bea does beat Minerva here, and I hope Minerva is embarrassed. Rexy would’ve already won this match by now, but Minerva sucks so much she couldn’t come close if she tried. YOU SUCK MINERVA! I HATE YOU!
James Peters: Anyways… Minerva is in the corner right now and has fallen into a seated position, AND NOW BEA VALENTINE RUNS IN BEFORE CONNECTING WITH THE BEA SWARM FOR THE SECOND TIME!!!! MINERVA WAS HIT WITH A CHEAP SHOT TO THE EYE FOLLOWED BY A DROPKICK TO THE THROAT, AND THAT PAVED THE WAY FOR BEA VALENTINE TO CONNECT WITH THOSE DOUBLE KNEES FOR THE SECOND TIME! Bea Valentine is constantly having to rely on those dirty tactics, but they may just get her the victory here as Minerva might be out of this one!
Rich Russillo: Bea Valentine gets back to her feet, and she looks proud of herself, doesn’t she? It’s like she doesn’t even care that she literally cheated multiple times in this match, all she cares about is the fact that she has the upper hand! I can’t entirely blame her though, as it looks like this one may be over! Bea Valentine drags Minerva back up from behind before twisting around, AND THERE’S THE BEA-MY-VALEN- NO WAY!!!!
James Peters: MINERVA SAW IT COMING!!!! MINERVA SAW THE UNPRETTIER COMING AND MANAGED TO FREE HER HANDS THROUGH HER STRENGTH ALONE BEFORE SHOVING BEA INTO THE ROPES!!! BEA VALENTINE BOUNCES OFF OF THEM- AND RUNS RIGHT INTO THE DEVIL’S TOUCH!!!!! THE DEVIL’S TOUCH CONNECTS AND IT LOOKS LIKE THAT JUST TOOK THE LIGHTS OUT OF THE WOMAN WHO ATTACKED DRAY FONTANA AT THE START OF THE NIGHT!!!!
Persephone: Why isn’t Minerva done??? I wanted Minerva to lose but I can’t count on Bea to do anything right clearly, so just hurry up and end it! I don’t want to watch this!
Rich Russillo: I think Minerva is doing exactly that, as Bea can’t have anything left in her after that devastating superkick! Minerva pulls Bea into the front facelock before hooking Bea’s arm over her neck, AND NOW MINERVA LIFTS BEA UP BEFORE DROPPING HER ON HER HEAD!!!!! ATLAS FALLS!!!! ATLAS FALLS CONNECTS, AND I DON’T THINK WE NEED TO QUESTION WHETHER OR NOT THAT WAS THE END OF THIS ONE!!!! MINERVA NOW HOOKING THE LEGS, AND I BELIEVE THAT’S IT, THERE’S NO KICKING OUT OF THAT!
Referee: OOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TTTWWWOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TTTHHHRRRRREEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Bella Braxton: Here is your winner… MIIIIIINNEEEERRRVVVAAAAAA!!!!!
(‘Blood, Milk & Sky’ hits, and the fans cheer loudly as Minerva rolls off of Bea Valentine before pushing herself back to her feet. The fans are glad to see Minerva succeed in another match, and Minerva just looks down at Bea for a few seconds before turning and having her hand raised by the referee.)
James Peters: That was a good effort by Bea Valentine, even if it required her to cheat at multiple points in the match. In the end however, good was not enough against an Elitist like Minerva. That’s not entirely her fault, either. After all, even Yhwach O’Hara was not enough.
Rich Russillo: Minerva looks more and more prepared for Bloodsport every time she enters the ring, so I’m definitely looking forward to seeing what happens when her and Rex face off, especially now that we know the details of Razorwire Hell!
Persephone: Yeah, I can’t wait to watch Rexy crush Minerva!
Rich Russillo: As for Bea Valentine, I’m sure she has a lot to answer for after what she did to Dray Fontana, but she’s continuing to showcase her potential.
James Peters: This was a great night of wrestling, and we have a lot more to come with the next few weeks! Congratulations Minerva, and goodnight everybody!
(Minerva walks out of the ring as her entrance music continues to play. As she’s seen walking up the ramp and making her way to the back, Voltage fades to black.)
