Dynasty 11/23/2018

( EAW Intro plays )

( Recap to Wicked Games comes on the air, highlighting the match between Mr. DEDEDE and Cameron Ella Ava. The two engage in back and forth action, with DDD employing psychological tactics in order to get into Cameron’s head. Mid-match Cameron suffered a serious fall which brought Cameron’s mother, Carmen Ava, out to the aid of her daughter. The match would continue much to the chagrin of Carmen, and we would see Carmen Ava accidentally speared off of the apron following a misfire from Mr. DEDEDE. While Cameron was distracted tending to her mother, DDD blindsided her from out of nowhere in a shocking and repulsive twist, and finished her off with the MK Driver. We would then see DDD taking Carmen by the hand as she’s stretchered up the ramp, and DDD is seen looking back at the top of the ramp with an evil smile while Cameron can only watch her helpless mother in the arms of DDD. )

( Dynasty intro plays featuring the song “Revolution” by The Score. )

( SHOW OPEN: We open up to a filled to capacity Mexico City Arena, where the audience is cheering and waving many signs in both English and Spanish while “Revolution” continues over the sound system and pyro shoots up from the stage, the sides of the tron and the turnbuckles. )

Stew-O: JUST A WEEK REMOVED FROM THE VOLTAGE INVITATIONAL EVENT, AND WE ARE LIVE FOR THE FIRST NIGHT OF FOUR CONSECUTIVE EVENTS HERE IN THE MEXICO CITY ARENA! WELCOME TO ANOTHER EDITION OF FRIDAY NIGHT DYNASTY: WHERE WE FIGHT ON FRIDAY NIGHTS! Stew-O and Talib Bari here,

Talib Bari: Viva La Mexico!!! Lemme tell you Stew, I had no idea how nice the weather is around here this time of year! And of all of the places I’ve been with since becoming a part of EAW, these fans might have the best energy that I’ve seen so far!

Stew: We have been sold out down here for the weekend since tickets went on sale in JULY, Mexico is a professional wrestling stronghold, and we start tonight’s show with a word from the Dynasty General Manager, and one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time!

( “2nd Sucks” by A Day To Remember plays, and the raucous crowd comes unglued as Starr Stan walks out to the stage dressed in jeans, a v-neck t shirt and a navy blue blazer with a sombrero on his head. Starr engages with the audience on his way down to the ring, and puts his sombrero on the head of a little boy at the side of the ramp whose eyes light up in glee upon receiving such a gift. )

Stephie Love: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN PLEASE WELCOME THE GENERAL MANAGER OF DYNASTY, STAAAARRRRRRRR STAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!!

Talib: You know I get that being General Manager means staying out of the spotlight and keeping your nose in the books, but when the GM is also one of the greatest to ever do it it’s always good to engage the EAW fans!

Stew: Starr Stan certainly looks to be in high spirits despite some of the recent hassles he’s had to deal with; he’s had to deal with The 1%, faction wars, last minute trades and even being the victim of a cyberattack!

Talib: Well last time I spoke to the bossman he gave the feeling of optimism for the future, which is what you want your General Manager to have even when times are a little tough. Let’s hear what the olympic hero has to say.

( Starr is in the ring and he has a microphone in hand, with a smile on his face as he looks around at all of the adulating Mexican fans. )

Starr Stan: Thank you! Viva La Dynasty, and VIVA LA MEXICO!!!!

( The crowd erupts with cheers. )

Starr: It’s wonderful to be here, I’ve wrestled many a match down here before and even though I always represent the Red, White & Blue to the fullest, you good people have treated me very well over the years. There is a rich wrestling tradition down here, with legends of the mat such as El Santo, Huracán Ramírez, El Landerson — just to name a few. Lucha has been one of the world’s greatest artforms and one of wrestling’s most important staples for over 100 years, and what that’s because of the fighting spirit that exists within the great athletes of this squared circle here to perform for all of you!

( Crowd gives a decent applause. )

Starr: I pride Friday Night Dynasty in being the brand that entertains, and I also want this show to be a meritocracy. I want the best wrestlers on Dynasty to be the ones who succeed — and I want every one of our Elitists to have the opportunity to prove why they should be considered one of the best. Now as you all may know there is a really important even coming up…. on December 22nd in the Montreal Olympic Stadium, we have none other than the 12th annual ROAD TO REDEMPTION! And you know what that means??? The return of the EXTREME ELIMINATION CHAMBER!

( Crowd cheers. )

Starr: And in theory, I could just put whoever I want in the Elimination Chamber. I am the GM after all. I could give five of my favorite Dynasty Elitists a shot against Theron Nikolas for the Answers World Championship in the Chamber, I could put the 5 Dynasty Elitists who are the least irritating to work with…but then I would have no chamber. (laughs) But that’s not how I’m going to do things, I want this brand to be a place where you earn your keep around here, which is why I will be putting this roster through a series of Extreme Elimination Chamber qualifying matches…

But here’s the kicker… you know that star-studded match card that were placed underneath all of your seats? Well I’d like to let you all in on a little secret, one that I haven’t even told the boys in the back: every match on the card tonight will now be an EXTREME ELIMINATION CHAMBER QUALIFYING MATCH!

( Crowd cheers. )

Starr: Whoever wins on tonight’s episode of Dynasty will met Theron for the Answers World Championship gold. RTR is one of my favorite shows ever, I have had some of the most hellacious matches of my career there and I have even captured that same Answers World Championship gold that’s on the line in just four weeks from tonight. I look forward to these Dynasts making magic for you in four weeks, and with the additional incentive I get the feeling they’ll all be doing the same tonight. Thank you everyone!

( Starr drops his microphone and “2nd Sucks” by A Day To Remember comes back on the sound system. Starr takes his leave. )

Stew: SOME UNEXPECTED IMPLICATIONS TO TONIGHT’S MATCH CARD COMPLETELY CHANGES THE VIBE FOR THIS EVENING BARI!

Talib: Starr has pulled the rabbit out of his hat and has turned an already exciting show into a consequential, must-see edition!

Stew: How do you think this affects the roster this evening?

Talib: It’s about as much of an incentive as you can put on a singles match without making it a title match! This just about guarantees a higher level of performance for all parties involved, we’re going to see people put more and more into these matches tonight because if they do so they’ll have a chance at potentially becoming the ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION in the feared and revered Elimination Chamber!

( The match card comes on the screen promoting Devan Dubian vs Mr. DEDEDE for this evening. )

Stew: A lot of already solid matches tonight, including a blockbuster main event that we have in store featuring two men who are Pain for Pride Headliners, former World Champions, Hall of Famers and household names! Devan Dubian faces Mr. DEDEDE in our main event — where the winner, of course as we now know, will go on to participate in four weeks time at the 12th annual ROAD TO REDE–

( The screen glitches and binary continues to flash across the display. We then cut back to Dynasty where Starr Stan is on the stage looking up at the titantron that appears to be glitching out. JUST THEN: “SYNCON.” is seen written on the jumbotron. The confused audience speculates among themselves what may be going on, and Starr calls to a production agent and inquires about what is happening. “Welcome To Synthetic Consciousness” is seen written on the LED stage walls, and an increasingly infuriated Starr calls for a commercial break. )

( COMMERCIAL BREAK — Including a recap of Wicked Games, documenting the result of all three World Championship matches including Theron Nikolas’ successful Answers World Championship retention against Devan Dubian! )

( The show returns and opens up backstage at the Dynasty-themed interview area, where Michael Belfort is standing by with a microphone and is facing the camera. )

Michael Belfort: Ladies and Gentlemen before we kick off tonight’s first of four Extreme Elimination Chamber qualifying matches I am here with three individuals with big aspirations for that match, as well as the state of Dynasty in general. Please welcome, THE SCORE.

( Jason McKormick walks on screen first, and a visibly banged up Ryan Wilson and Shaker Jones enter the frame shortly after. They receive a nice ovation from the audience, and they give Michael Belfort a nod. )

Belfort: I greatly appreciate having you three here gentlemen, I don’t want to take up too much of your time but there’s no denying last week’s edition of Dynasty was a difficult night for the three of you. Tonight’s Dynasty poses more obstacles ahead with great opportunities and also greater risks. Can either of you speak on that and perhaps reflect on last week and how that may impact your game plan heading into tonight?

Shaker Jones: You know what Michael you’re right, last week was definitely a kick in the ass, we’re banged up, we’re aching, but reflecting back on last week we can still say confidently that through it all we still got the job done.

Ryan Wilson: (holding a finger up) And the most important part of getting the job done, is that we still did it our way. We were given limitations, we had boundaries set for us, and in some ways you could even speculate that we were hung out to dry. I am not going to be the guy who points the accusatory finger without probable cause, but it’s a bit fishy how open our backs were to have daggers driven in them.

Jason McKormick: But it comes with the territory. Snakes in the grass come in all shapes and sizes, whether it be a fat stupid python like Apocalypse who manages to “slither by” arena security undetected… or a sniveling cowardly little green as goose-shit garden snake like that punk ass Lucas Johnson. Either way, you tried to stop The Score, and you all failed to do the job. Even when you had the intentions of permanently putting us on the shelf, we’re walking into what will be our biggest Dynasty ever.

Ryan: Oh and to give you more of a direct answer Michael, most groups would form some conniving underhanded tactics in order to exact revenge. CERTAIN GROUPS of people would probably go as far as to abuse their power like a bunch of megalomaniacal psychopaths. (winks, nudges Belfort) But we don’t have chairman authority, and even if we had that — that’s not what we’re about anyway.

Shaker: The Score is about competition, it is about facing your greatest hurdles and challenges head on, and it’s like what Starr just said earlier, the hardest workers are the ones who are meant to earn their keep.

Jason: Well we’ve been freaking workhorses here on Friday Night Dynasty, and we aren’t about to sacrifice our integrity and turn everything we’ve stated into a farce just to stoop to people’s levels. (Jason gets closer to the camera and looks directly in it) But let me tell you punks something, and this goes for you Lucas you dumb rat looking bastard. If you try to pull the same crap that you pulled last week when you get in the ring with my brother Ryan Wilson tonight, I’m going to make you rue the day you shot out of your mother’s birth canal. And Apocalypse, Cross, either of you wanna overstep your boundaries and I will be more than happy to show you two what a real “monster” and a “devil” looks like.

( Jason McKormick walks off camera, and an impressed Ryan Wilson and Shaker Jones raise their eyebrows, smile and follow him off camera. )

(Timebomb (Train, Train Intro) by Blackfoot and Rancid plays throughout the arena as Shaker Jones along with Ryan Wilson and Jason McKormick walks out onto the ramp, and down to the ring)

Stepie Love: The following match is scheduled for one fall, making his way to the ring accompanied by The Score, From Inglis, Manitoba, Canada.. weighing in at 250 pounds.. He is “The Punk Rock Country Boy”… SHAAAAKKEERRRR JOOOONEEESSS!!!!

Stew: This crew has had some issues with Apocalypse and Donovan Cross as of late. Last Week Jason McKormick defeated Donovan Cross, and Apocalypse is trying to even The Score… No pun intended.. But I’ll take credit for it.. HA!

Talib: Dweeb. Shaker is going to have his hands full with this one, but with The Score by his side who knows what could happen… Though Apocalypse with Soothsayer and Donovan Cross may also EVEN THE SCORE! Now I’m in on it.

Stew: Please, that’s my thing.

(‘Sound of Silence’ by Necroblaspheme blares through the speakers as Apocalypse, Donavon Cross, and Soothsayer Hamasa walk down the ramp.)

Stephie Love: And his opponent; accompanied to the ring by Donovan Cross and Hamasa Soothsayer, From Louisiana State Penitentiary, Louisiana.. Weighing in 375 pounds.. he is “The Monstrous Man”… APOCALYPSE!!

Stew: Can this monster be stopped? He is a sight to behold, and with Soothsayer and Donavon Cross by his side, it’s not like the number games can work.

Talib: I don’t know man, it might be a long night for Shaker Jones here. But hey, There isn’t much of a height advantage here, so there’s that!

(Apocalypse gets in the ring and stands in the corner, as Shaker stands on the opposite side. They stare each other down awaiting for the bell. The ref signals for it.)

(Ding! Ding! Ding!)

Stew: And this match is official. These two men seem to be starting slow here as they just pace in the middle of the ring; Shaker getting right in the face of Apocalypse.. Hasn’t his parents told him not to do that to an ex convict?

Talib: I don’t know, not sure that topic of conversation comes up very often.. AND APOCALYPSE JUST PICKS SHAKER UP AND DELIVERS A SCOOP SLAM, Shaker was caught off guard by that as he crawls to the turnbuckle. HIs Score brethren rally behind him, and give him advice about what his next move should be. Shaker is nods his head in agreeance and pops back to his feet. Shaker just charges at Apocalypse hoping to catch him off guard, but Apocalypse side steps Shaker and throws him into the turnbuckle, and starts hammering in the face with that big right hand. The ref now trying to get in the way, trying to break it up. He starts the rope break count.

Ref: One! Two! Three! Four!

Stew: Apocalypse steps back for a moment, and walks away from Shaker. It seems like the offensive onslaught is over.. But Apocalypse comes charging right back and pancakes Shaker in the corner. Shaker just collapses to the ground. Apocalypse isn’t letting up, and picks Shaker up off the ground, and grabs the arm of Shaker, pushes him back and pulls him back and delivers a short arm clothesline. Apocalypse isn’t letting go of Shakers arm, and just brings him right back up to the ground. Apocalypse just let’s Shaker by himself, running to the ropes, and comes charging back.. RUNNING FRONT DROPKICK flinging Shaker outside the ring, and right back to the arms of The Score. Apocalypse isn’t letting him rest though as he comes out of the ring, with Donovan Cross and Soothsayer corralling behind him.

Talib: It seems like a stand off is ensuing. The ref comes out of the ring trying to create some order in this order less situation. Shaker with a thumb to the eye of Apocalypse and rolls back into the ring, avoiding this situation entirely. Shaker runs off the ropes and comes charging through the ropes, delivering a suicide dive, getting Apocalypse off his feet for the first time. Shaker has gained control of this match it would appear.

Stew: Shaker rolls back into the ring, and sees if he can get a count out victory here. But Apocalypse is right back to his feet after a count of 3. Apocalypse is back on the ring, apron, but Shaker comes running over, and kick the feet out of Apocalypse and the count continues. Up to a count of 5, 6; Apocalypse hops right back to the ring apron, but here comes Shaker again, trying to kick the legs out from under Apocalypse, but Apocalypse is able side step, and he kicks Shaker right in the face, knocking him back into the ring. Apocalypse back into the ring, but Shaker is back up to his feet, HE KICKS THE ROPE AS APOCALYPSE IS ENTERING THE RING.. GOING RIGHT INTO THOSE BIG OLD TESTIES!! THE SCORE WAS DISTRACTING THE REF SO HE WAS UNABLE TO SEE IT! SHAKER GOES INTO THE COVER, THE REF SEES AND GOES INTO POSITION.

Ref: One! Two! — KICKOUT!

Talib: Apocalypse emphatically kicks out, as Shaker flies almost halfway across the ring. Shaker rolls back up, and charges at Apocalypse BLACK HOLE SLAM! Shaker was just crushed by Apocalypse, and it seems like he’s out of it! The Score is back up on the ring apron as Apocalypse is going for the cover.. DONAVON AND SOOTHSAYER COME AND JUST PULL THEM OFF THE APRON, but the distraction is enough for Shaker to roll out of the way of the caution area. Shaker is setting up as Apocalypse is watching his people take care of business on the outside. Shaker jumps up on the ropes.. FOREARM SMASH!! NO APOCALYPSE CAUGHT SHAKER IN MID AIR, AND HE IS IN DEEP TROUBLE!! ETTTAAAA CARRIINNNAAAEEEE! AND THE RING INDENTS INTO ITSELF!! SHAKER IS OUT OF IT! APOCALYPSE JUST PUTS HIS FOOT ON THE CHEST OF SHAKER, AND THE REF COUNTS…

Ref: One! Two! Three!

(Ding! Ding! Ding!)

Stephie Love: HERE IS THE WINNER OF THIS MATCH.. APOCALYPSE!!!!!!!

(Apocalypse is joined my Soothsayer and Donovan Cross join Apocalypse in the ring. Apocalypse just walks out of the ring, without giving a care to what just happened. Soothsayer and Donovan look at each other and shrug and follow him out of the ring.)

Stew: Well that was quite intense, and I must say I’m afraid of this man, and the Extreme Elimination Chamber — a match already Monstrous to begin with, has become possibly a death sentence for five other Dynasty Elitists!

Talib: You got to wonder if it’s wise to even want to be a part of this match anymore now that Apocalypse is in it! Deadass if I was in one of the qualifying matches tonight I’d prolly just forfeit right then and there!

Stew: Apocalypse is one scary human being, if you can even call him a human being; he pretty much walked in here and asserted his dominance.

Talib: Shaker somewhat held his own in there with a monster, but at the end, Apocalypse took over. Now someone please peel Shaker off the mat. Dynasty isn’t over yet, and we gotta clean that!

( COMMERCIAL BREAK — including an advertisement for tomorrow’s Empire Marquee Event: BLOODLETTER! Witness the EAW Women’s World Champion Madison Kaline defend her championship against the bold and courageous Andrea Valentine, as Andrea enters the first ever “Mistress of Death match”. Also, Remi Skyfire and Raven Roberts do battle for the final time with the EAW New Breed Championship on the line! The show takes place at 6PM EST, only on the EAW Network! )

( “Revolution” by The Score plays in the background and camera opens up to the outside of the Mexico City Arena, as the LEDs covering the entire outside of the massive building light up in Dynasty colors, graphics, and alternate between the Dynasty logo and LED images of some of the most notable Dynasty Elitists. )

Stew: We come to you with the first installation of four straight sold out shows here in the Mexico City Arena, one of the most beautiful buildings inside and out!

Talib: This is just one week after we sold out the Smoothie King Center last week during our New Orleans weekend takeover! During weekend takeover events we generally put on fan engagement conventions in order to bring our EAW Elitists closer to the EAW Universe, and last week we were at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans on the morning of the Voltage Invitational event: Wicked Games! Well a certain fellow by the name of Kevin Hunter decided he’d pay a visit to the event and — uh — “spread his doctrine” so to speak. Predictably it didn’t turn out that well, as following this event it was reported on EAW’s Instagram account that Kevin Hunter was fined $50,000 for improper behavior involving non-EAW talent, let’s get a look at exactly went down…

( TIME STAMP ON THE SCREEN: 11AM, November 17th, 2018. )

( LOCATION: Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans, Louisiana. )

( We see many members of the EAW fanbase entering the building from an outside shot, and indoors we see several panels for the Wicked Games pre-show press conference that took place last weekend. We can see several different sights including a Q&A from the audience for The 1%, a Malcolm Jones and Impact interview moderated by Michael Lanza, a speech from Captain Charisma and meet and greets with the likes of Magnum Opus, Rex McAllister, Diamond Cage, Charlie Marr, Devan Dubian and others. )

( One particularly long line is for the table to get an autograph signing from Erebus Jennings, due to the rarity of his public appearances. Erebus can be seen at the front of the long line at a table with the PURE Championship seated on it. We see Kevin Hunter approaching the line with an all black attire on, dark shades, and a cigarette in his lips. He appears disgusted, looking around at all of the fans who are dressed like their favorite EAW Elitists from the past and present — some simply wearing t-shirts, and others wearing their full ring gear and bearing their likeness. )

Kevin Hunter: (to himself) Jesus Christ look at these people, they’re less than animals.

( Hunter continues to look around in disgust as some fans are proudly representing their fandom both for EAW and for comic book characters, anime characters, videogame characters such as Overwatch, among others. Hunter approaches a two male fans in line who are cosplayed as HRDO. One of them are wearing the original HRDO 2007 attire with the mask, full body suit and a cap. The other is wearing the Pain for Pride X incarnation of masked HRDO with the welding mask and half-shoulder singlet. )

Kevin: Excuse me boys either of you got a second?

( One of the fans pull up the welding masks and appear to be surprised. Kevin Hunter is also drawing attention from others in the line waiting for Erebus. )

HRDO cosplayer 1: Wait a minute are you Kevin Hunter?

Kevin: Yeah yeah don’t get starstruck on me, and no you can’t have an autograph. I just want to know exactly what the hell you’re doing?

HRDO cosplayer 2: Uhm, well we’re here for the pay per view tonight. We actually drove here from Dallas.

Kevin: I’m not talking about that, I mean why the hell are you dressed up as another man waiting in line to have some face painted freak shake your hand and pretend to care about you for 60 seconds.

( The two HRDO cosplayers exchange confused looks. )

HRDO cosplayer 1: I dunno like, I guess we really like him.

HRDO cosplayer 2: Yeah, Erebus was a big deal back in AWF 2014 and a lot of us have been waiting to see him win a title.

Kevin: Don’t you think it’s embarrassing that you’re leaving the house dressed like this? How do you get to talk to women ever?

HRDO cosplayer 2: Oh come on it’s a special occasion! HRDO is my favorite wrestler of all time, he’s also a guy everybody knows, my whole generation basically grew up on him.

HRDO cosplayer 1: Yeah he’s my favorite too. And really all we’re just doing is just cosplaying our childhood hero, there are a lot of girls who like to cosplay in general and I’ll have you know we actually received some compliments. 😉

Kevin: Yeah and those are the girls with daddy issues.

( Both HRDO cosplayers have a blank stare. )

Kevin: -sigh- Nevermind (looks off-screen) hey give me a second guys let me get back to you never.

( Kevin Hunter walks down the line some more and approaches a guy and a girl. The girl is wearing a Cameron Ella Ava “goddess” t-shirt and the guy is dressed up in a full blown Erebus Jennings costume, wearing an exact replica of his ring attire including the large robe, facepaint and the plastic crow attached to one of his shoulder pads. )

Kevin: You two!

Erebus cosplayer: Hey how’s it going? Say you look kind of familiar…

Kevin: I’m Kevin Hunter.

Girl in the Cameron shirt: Uhhh, who?

Kevin: What the hell do you mean “who”, I’m on Dynasty every freaking week! Don’t you guys watch the show?

Erebus cosplayer: Yes we watch it religiously.

Kevin: Then how do you not know who I am?!

Girl in the Cameron shirt: OHHHHHH you’re that guy who lost the Openweight Title to TLA!

Kevin: …..

Erebus cosplayer: Oh yeah! I remember you now! Sorry about that we actually don’t have cable so the only time we get to see Dynasty is on Hulu. And Hulu only plays the shortened versions of Dynasty without all of the filler :lupe:

Kevin: ………….

Girl in the Cameron shirt: Oh wait you had that match against Darkane a few months back! The one for the AWC! You were amazing there!

Kevin: …. Thanks I guess. Anyways I’m not here to talk about me, I wanted to ask you two what the hell you’re doing dressed like that? I mean Jesus christ don’t you have any standards? Just because you’re dressed like a useless slut doesn’t mean you have to be one yourself! Why the hell would you sleep with a man who gets out of the house looking like an Insane Clown Posse reject?

Girl in the Cameron shirt: Ew gross I’m not sleeping with him!

Erebus cosplayer: Yeah we’re actually brother and sister.

Kevin: OH…well we’re in Louisiana so excuse me if I’m doubtful. (to the Erebus cosplayer) So let me guess Erebus is your favorite wrestler then too?

Erebus cosplayer: I have every one of his matches on my 2TB hard drive at home. I also use him as my picbase on a roleplay-based e-fed sometimes, I named my character “Venom”.

Kevin: What the actual fuck is an E-fed?

Erebus cosplayer: Long story.

( Kevin Hunter digs into his coat pocket and pulls out a small white towel. )

Kevin: Listen son, you look fucking ridiculous in that outfit okay?

Erebus cosplayer: Hey man calm down I’m not doing anything wrong–

Kevin: Yes you are, you’re an embarrassment to me, you’re an embarrassment to this business, you cosplaying nerd retards need to grow up, get a life and get out of your mothers basements! Here (hands the kid his towel) wipe that shit off of your face, you look ridiculous.

Girl in the Cameron shirt: Can you just leave us alone please?

Kevin: Shut up you incestuous slut! Take your brothers dick out of your mouth for just one second!

Erebus cosplayer: Hey motherfucker don’t talk to my sister like that!

( Kevin Hunter immediately starts trying to scrub the face paint of of the Erebus cosplayer, and the two get into a struggle while the cosplayer’s sister is screaming in the background. )

Girl in the Cameron shirt: WHAT ARE YOU DOING GET OFF HIM! GET OFF HIM! HELP! HELP!

( A raucous commotion is made, and Kevin Hunter has the Erebus cosplayer pinned to the ground as he’s scrubbing the face paint off of the kid’s face with the towel. Several security personnel rush in and try to pull Kevin Hunter off of the kid, but Kevin elbows one of them and grabs the kid by his shirt again. More personnel begin to dogpile on top of Hunter, ripping him apart from the Erebus cosplayer, as a massive commotion ensues and the shaky footage eventually comes to an abrupt end. )

( Camera returns backstage, and we see Starr Stan next to a man dressed in a button down collar shirt with an employee lanyard around his neck. Starr shows the employee his brand new iPhone X S Max, which has the “SYNCON.” symbol involuntarily displayed on the screen. )

Starr Stan: Well EAW Corporate brought you out here as the cybersecurity expert, why the hell don’t you guys have this under control?

Cybersecurity Tech: It is very strange, we made sure the permissions were airtight as far as your device goes, yet it’s not even allowing us to do a remote wipe from back at EAW HQ.

Starr: This is just so frustrating, I’m not even in the freaking USA and I’m being screwed with! But this is getting bad man it’s not even about me any more, did you see what happened out there??? Whatever “SYNCON” is those people have got our whole infrastructure bugged dude!

Cybersecurity Tech: That’s just impossible, but the Level 1 team is still trying to troubleshoot and get an understanding of what exactly happened. What’s most odd is that all of your devices have been replaced, and you’re sure you haven’t accessed any old accounts on this phone either right?

Starr: I made a new gmail, a new Facebook, a new everything! I’m telling you, it has to be Anonymous, it just has to —

Cybersecurity Tech: Wait a minute what’s that?

( The attention is focused on Starr’s phone, and some new binary coding is blinking across the screen attempting to transmit a message. )

Starr: Whats that mean, can you read this crap?!

( JUST THEN: A hand slaps down the phone and sends it smacking into the concrete floor. After bouncing off of the ground, it hits the floor again and the screen appears to be completely shattered. )

( Starr looks up in bewilderment and the culprit, Jack Ripley, is standing by with a stoic look on his face. )

Jack Ripley: You’ve got bigger fish to fry kiddo.

Starr: ….. You son of a bitch, that was a 1000 dollar phone!

Jack: Oh that’s nothing in comparison to what you cost me. Not even close.

Starr: I should beat the shit out of you right now! What the hell do you want?

Jack: I want you to get down on your hands and knees and beg me for forgiveness.

Starr: Forgiveness for WHAT?!

Jack: You are by far the most incompetent sorry excuse of a GM I have ever met, and I have been under the likes of Brian fucking Daniels. It’s clear you’ve been dropped on your thick fucking head too many times in your career but you do NOT treat a champion of your brand the way you treated me!

Starr: And what exactly is this “bad treatment” you’re speaking of huh? Having you defend your title? Is it too hard to ask for a champion of my show to even do that? (Starr gets closer to Jack) Oh, or is it because you can’t defend your title without being babysat? It’s a shame because out of The 1% it’s well documented DEDEDE has been able to be a fighting champion all his career. And Theron proved that he was a fighting champion by hook or by crook at Wicked Games. I guess that makes you the third wheel after all.

Jack: You son of a–

( Ripley is ready to attack Starr, but Theron Nikolas immediately cuts in and restrains him from going any further. Theron is wearing a 1% jumpsuit and has the Answers World Championship wrapped around his waist, and the crowd instantly boos the sight of him. )

Theron Nikolas: Easy brother easy! Don’t let this bald jackass work you into a shoot with his third-rate mind games. You can’t expect a guy like him to treat talent properly, he hasn’t even congratulated me yet for keeping the Answers World Championship on the home turf.

Starr: Congratulations on your title retention Theron, but the Answers World Championship would have remained on Dynasty regardless of the outcome last weekend. After all, Devan Dubian is on Dynasty, and you might even meet him in the Elimination Chamber.

Theron: Sure he will.

Jack: Listen I really don’t give two shits about Devan Dubian or an Elimination Chamber, I want my goddamn title back Starr! Erebus doesn’t get to call himself a true champion after the unfair advantages that he’s had, his victory was a FLUKE and had I actually been given any time to prepare it would have never happen. So when is my rematch.

Starr: You know what Jack I’m a little busy right now to tell you the truth, so I’ll give you the honest answer, I don’t know.

Jack: What do you mean you don’t know?! You could set the match up for right now!

Starr: Oh I’m aware that I could, but the way you come in here and disrespect me to my face makes me wonder if you have the temperament to be a champion here on Dynasty. As a matter of fact, it makes me wonder whether you deserve to be on Dynasty at all.

Jack: Is that a threat.

Starr: Well I guess that depends. Either way I have a little bit of reflecting to do, but don’t worry when I come up with a plan for what to do with you, you’ll be the first to know.

( Starr winks and pats Theron on the shoulder before walking off, and both Theron and Jack watch him leave befuddled. )

( Dynasty opens back up to the ring where “Young and Bitter” by Hot Tag Media is playing on the sound system while Lucas Johnson and Albert Hitchman walk through the curtain and are on their way to the ring. )

Stew: Stay tuned ladies and gentlemen because coming up right after this break, we have another Extreme Elimination Chamber qualifying match! Find out if Lucas Johnson will join APOCALYPSE and Theron Nikolas in the Answers World Championship Elimination Chamber match, NEXT!

( COMMERCIAL BREAK — including an advertisement for this upcoming edition of Showdown where Diamond Cage calls out Kassidy Heart and Ahren Fournier for their actions at last weekend’s Wicked Games event! Also find out who will be the next to join the Showdown Extreme Elimination Chamber as Heart Break Boy battles Terry Chambers one on one! It all takes place at a special start time of this Sunday at 5pm, 4 central! )

( The broadcast returns to Lucas Johnson and Albert Hitchman who are in the ring discussing strategy, as “Young and Bitter” is still playing over the sound system. Stephie Love is standing by in the ring. )

( DING! DING! DING! )

Stephie Love: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is an EXTREME ELIMINATION CHAMBER QUALIFYING MATCH! Introducing first, accompanied by —

( Albert Hitchman walks right up to Stephie Love and snatches the microphone from her hands. He shoos her out of the ring, and Stephie appears frazzled by Hitchman’s ride mannerisms but eventually complies. “Young and Bitter” cuts off. )

Albert Hitchman: Hola, cómo estas? It is I, seniór Hitchman, advocate to the blue chip athlete of the century, manager to a future member of the EAW Hall of Fame, and the mouthpiece to the man who has done more harm to The Score in the span of two weeks than a “Monster and a Devil” ever could. He weighs in this evening at a lean, trim 205 pounds, and hails from the illustrious city of Atlanta, Georgia… PUT YOUR HANDS TOGETHER FOR NONE OTHER THAN LUCAS JOHNSON!!!!

( Lucas Johnson raises both fists to the audience, and the crowd gives him a mostly negative reaction. )

Hitchman: Shall we direct our attention to the elephant in the room? It’s best we not even pussyfoot or skirt around the subject any longer than we have to. LUCAS JOHNSON IS OWED AN ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH BY PROXY. There should be no Elimination Chamber, there should be no qualifying match, there damn sure shouldn’t be this rematch with Ryan Wilson. Ryan Wilson truly believes he is one win away from coasting into the Elimination Chamber to receive a shot at the Answers World Championship, but the only reason he has even made it this far is because of an illegitimate victory against my client, Lucas Johnson. And now apparently the big bad “Score” has come to settle their differences with Elite Answers Wrestling and make this supposed ‘much needed change’ to the business in order to bring it back to the way it used to be. ‘Restore the feeling’ if you will.

Seems like everybody’s selling that same old snake oil these days, well Lucas Johnson is the brand that the fans can trust, even fans as disgusting and putrid as the ones down here in Mexico.

( Crowd boos intensely. )

Hitchman: My client Lucas Johnson and I believe that tonight is going to be a gut check moment not just for Ryan Wilson, but for that 6’7″ underachiever Shaker Jones and that psychotic imbecile Jason McKormick. I really don’t mean to come out here and commence with the mudslinging, but I’ve been smelling something foul coming out of you three for a long time now. There’s a peculiar stench in the air when it pertains to you three, and I’m beginning to suspect that you are all just moments away from cracking under that false sanctimonious facade that you all put on. I would LOVE to see you uphold this integrity when my client, Lucas Johnson spends the entirety of this match dismantling your precious comrade. You’ve got two choices: watch your accomplice be ripped to shreds, or jump in and jeopardize the sanctity of a “clean, cut wrestling match” all while exposing yourselves for the hypocrites that you are. The choice is yours to make gentlemen. Does The Score become dismembered by another mans sword? Or does it fall on its own?

( Hitchman and Lucas share a sinister laugh. )

( “I Want It All” by Queen plays over the sound system, and The Score receives a very warm welcome from the crowd as Ryan Wilson and Jason McKormick walk out to the stage still dressed in ring gear. )

Stephie Love: (with another microphone) And from Montreal, Quebec, Canada weighing in at 200 POUNDS!!! RRYYYYAANNNNN WILSOOOONNNN!!!

( Ryan Wilson is sporting some wear and tear from last week’s match, and he turns to his comrade exchanging words him for a brief moment. McKormick pats Wilson on the back and take their leave back through the curtain. )

Stew: From what it appears ladies and gentlemen Ryan Wilson is going to go this qualifying match up by himself!

Talib: Dumb move Stew, sorry. I get it, Ryan Wilson’s got pride, he’s got spunk, you tell him he’s gonna go one way and he’ll go another way — but at this point it’s to his detriment, just calling it like I see it.

Stew: There’s been speculation whether all three members of The Score can uphold their mantra of wrestling traditionalism, and despite those heavily taped rings and the wear and tear he clearly has coming off of last week, Wilson wants to prove that he can go this alone and earn his spot in the Extreme Elimination Chamber.

( DING! DING! DING! )

Talib: Lucas Johnson and Ryan Wilson come charging at each other like raging bulls, and LUCAS IMMEDIATELY FIRES AWAY WITH A RUNNING KNEE LIFT TO THE RIBS! THAT’S STUNNED RYAN! LUCAS TEEING OFF WITH MORE KNEE STRIKES INTO THOSE BRUISED RIBS, AND FOR ANYONE WHO’S EVER HAD BRUISED RIBS YOU KNOW EXACTLY HOW PAINFUL AN EXPERIENCE LIKE THAT IS, NOW IMAGINE RIGHT AND LEFT KNEES BEING DRIVEN INTO THEM FROM AN NCAA ATHLETE?

Stew: Not that you would know much more about ribs than the ones on your plate Bari, but I’m in agreeance with you there, Wilson is at a severe disadvantage especially after the attack he took last week, and now he’s in the corner just BLASTED by a loud European uppercut! Lucas props Wilson up and has him seated on the top turnbuckle… Wilson fires back with a desperate elbow to the jaw from that precarious position, but Johnson comes right back with a roundhouse straight to the spine and yanks Wilson backwards so that he’s hung upside down at the corner! And JOHNSON STARTS TEEING OFF WITH STOMPS TO THE OPEN RIBS! JUST SICKENING KICKS LANDING RIGHT ON THE TAPED UP MIDSECTION, WHILE THE REFEREE INTERVENES!

Ref: Get him out of there Lucas lets go! 1! 2! 3! 4!

Talib: Lucas backs up and holds his hands up informing the ref he has until five, and now he goes right back to Wilson who is in such a bad way to begin the match.. now he decides to walk over to the apron and climb up that same turnbuckle that Wilson is hanging upside down on! Wilson trying desperately to sit himself up, but JOHNSON IS UP AT THE TOP AND IS LOOKING TO DELIVER A DIVING DOUBLE FOOT STOMP!!!! NOBODY HOME, THANKFULLY WILSON DODGES IT! Lucas rolls through the impact and he clutches one of his ankles, he may have very well tweaked his left ankle! Wilson manages to roll off of the top rope and land on the apron, and Johnson dashes at Wilson with a bit of a limp there — but is CAUGHT WITH A STIFF ROLLING ELBOW!!! NOW HE COMBAT ROLLS INTO THE RING THROUGH THE ROPES, AND DELIVERS A JUMPING TORNADO DDT ON JOHNSON!!!

Stew: DID YOU HEAR THAT IMPACT?! LUCAS WAS JUST SPIKED, TOMBSTONE STYLE, RIGHT ON HIS HEAD! Wilson rolls right over Johnson –

Ref: OOOOOOOOOOOOONE!!! TWWWWWWWW-

Stew: Kick out at two by Johnson, and Albert Hitchman calls for Lucas to bail out of the ring while he still can. Johnson sluggishly rolls towards the ropes and takes a breather, holding the top of his skull after having that spiked into the canvas. Ryan Wilson back up now and is going for the RUNNING LOW DROPKICK ON JOHNSON WHO’S BY THE APRON! But Hitchman’s warnings cause Johnson to jump out of the way. Wilson slides himself out of the ring, Johnson attempts a kick to the midsection! Wilson catches the boot and fires back with an uppercut! Five knuckles to the jaw, and he follows up with a flurry of knife edge chops right in front of us here at ringside! Johnson being backed up by those stinging chops to the solar plexus, BUT JOHNSON AT THE LAST SECOND BASHES WILSON’S FACE INTO THE LED RINGPOST!

Talib: A necessary point of escape for Johnson, and now from the other side of the ringpost he grabs Wilson by the arm and YANKS HIS BODY RIGHT BACK INTO THE POST! Wilson now being dragged by that same arm, and he’s in the ring with his torso wrapped around the ringpost so to speak, laying under the bottom turnbuckle. Johnson re-enters the ring and sprints over to the far away corner only to mad dash right out of it and hit a WICKED BASEBALL SLIDE INTO THE SPINE OF WILSON, SENDING WILSON RIBS FIRST INTO THE METAL POST!!!! OH MAN THAT WAS NOT GOOD!

( Ryan Wilson is seen groaning in pain and coughing after having his ribs driven into the steel off the momentum of the baseball slide. )

Stew: Johnson drags Wilson out of that corner now and hooks the single leg!

Ref: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOONE!!! TWWWWWWOOOOOOO!!!

Stew: And Wilson is somehow still in this, lord knows that would have finished off any normal man, but Ryan Wilson is a man obviously fighting with a purpose. It’s like you said Bari, the Extreme Elimination Chamber opportunity is going to push these Elitists into putting on a far greater effort on this night here in Mexico City, as Johnson stomps repeatedly into the side of Ryan Wilson’s head! That earns him a demerit from the official, and Johnson goes right back to work this time..oh lord.. tearing apart the tape that is stabilizing the midsection of Wilson! Come on this is getting too far, Lucas has the opportunity to actually win this match, but he’s trying to seriously hurt his opponent! NOW LUCAS HOISTS WILSON UP ON HIS ARMS AND DROPS HIM RIBS-FIRST OVER THE KNEES WITH THE GUTBUSTER!!! THE SAME MOVE THAT NEARLY SHATTERED WILSON’S RIBS LAST TIME, AND A COVER YET AGAIN!

Ref: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONE!!! TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! THRRRRRRRR-

Talib: WAS THAT THREE?!

Stew: No, the referee is calling that a two count! Wilson with a SUPER CLOSE two count, and an apoplectic Albert Hitchman hops onto the ring apron completely bewildered by that not being a three! Hitchman is reading the referee the riot act, and even some on the crowd believe that it might be justified, that was an incredibly close near fall if I’ve ever seen one! Meanwhile Johnson is acting on the distraction of the referee by using the ropes as leverage to press both of his boots into the possibly shattered ribs of Ryan Wilson! Wilson crying out in pain and flailing his limbs in sheer agony with the unfair advantage of the ropes, and just as the referee turns back to the action Johnson finally relents! Johnson drags Wilson up from the mat now…. JOHNSON LOOKING FOR THE KIMURA LOCK PERHAPS??? HE HAS A HOLD OF THAT ARM!!! BUT SOMEHOW WILSON MANAGES TO MANEUVER HIMSELF BEHIND JOHNSON AND GET THE CRUCIFIX BODY-SCISSORS BACKSLIDE PIN! SAME MOVE THAT PUT JOHNSON AWAY LAST WEEK!

Ref: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONEEE!!! TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Talib: JOHNSON KICKS OUT AFTER THE SCREAMS OF THAT DOOFUS HITCHMAN! Johnson scrambles up, looking a bit rattled by nearly falling to the same move two weeks in a row, and he fires back with a YAKUZA KICK! BUT WILSON COUNTERS WITH THE DRAGON SCREW LEG WHIP!!! RIGHT ON THAT LEFT LEG, WHICH GIVES JOHNSON A BUM LEFT ANKLE AND POSSIBLY A BAD LEFT KNEE! Johnson on the ground holding his leg and Wilson, who was down to his knees favoring his midsection, sprints right up to Johnson just as he recovers and delivers a LEG-TRAP GERMAN SUPLE— NO, LEG-TRAP KNEE BREAKER!!! AND A DEADLIFT GERMAN SUPLEX TO FOLLOW UP!!! JOHNSON JUST LANDED RIGHT ON HIS NECK, AND WILSON HOLDS IN THE BRIDGING PIN!!!

Ref: OOOOOOOOOOONE!!!!

Stew: But Wilson’s ribs are in so much pain, that he can’t even manage to keep the bridge held in! He was in too much pain to even continue his own pin, and obviously the referee looks a bit concerned by this.

Talib: Ryan Wilson has had his ribs demolished over the last couple of weeks and he may have jeopardized his long term health by even competing tonight! Ryan Wilson went against the medical advice, from what we know, of four EAW doctors, and he looks like he’s paying the price right now. Wilson and Johnson both recovering at the same rate now, doing everything they can to get up to a vertical base, both at one knee… and Wilson collapses again…… oh he’s bleeding from the mouth now….

( Wilson drops to his side holding his ribs again, and blood comes flowing from Wilson’s mouth, prompting the referee to immediately cut in and call for the bell. )

( DING! DING! DING! )

( The referee stops Ryan Wilson from trying to get up and he immediately throws up the “X” to call for backup. Medical personnel make their way down the ramp to tend to Ryan Wilson, and the official communicates with ringside personnel and Lucas Johnson who is dazed but waiting at the corner of the ring, ready for more. )

Stephie Love: Ladies and Gentlemen, due to referee stoppage, the winner of this match and the newest entrant into the Dynasty Extreme Elimination Chamber match… LUCAS JOHNSON!

( Crowd boos as Albert Hitchman jumps for joy at ringside, and Johnson raises both fists to the crowd. “Young and Bitter” plays back on the sound system, and Hitchman enters the ring to hype up his client. )

Talib: Well this crowd is booing but that was just the right call Stew, plain and simple.

Stew: Without question Bari, the referee did the right thing, Ryan Wilson may not have been in the right shape to compete out here in the first place, but there is no question this match should not have continued. Lucas Johnson taking the victory in stride as expected, but by no means was Wilson beaten by anyone or anything other than his own health.

( Jason McKormick is out at ringside tending to Ryan Wilson, and Lucas Johnson is celebrating fired up and declaring himself the next Answers World Champion. )

Talib: Lucas Johnson taking the victory in stride as expected —

Stew: OH COME ON!!! JOHNSON FROM BEHIND CATCHES MCKORMICK FROM BEHIND WITH A CHOP BLOCK TO THE BACK OF THE KNEE!!! WHAT THE HELL?!

Talib: JOHNSON HAMMERING AWAY WITH PUNCHES TO MCKORMICK, MCKORMICK TRYING TO FIGHT BACK EVEN THOUGH HE MAY HAVE JUST HAD HIS KNEE TAKEN OUT, AND JOHNSON PULLS MCKORMICK UP AND RUNS HIM HEAD FIRST INTO THE STEEL STEPS!!! MOTHER OF GOD MCKORMICK JUST GOT WIPED OUT — AND JOHNSON FOLLOWS UP WITH A RUNNING KNEE SMASHING IT AGAINST MCKORMICK’S TEMPLE AND SANDWICHING MCKORMICK’S HEAD INTO THE STEEL!!!

Stew: Ringside officials trying to get Lucas Johnson in order, but Johnson even with a limping knee himself is pumped up and filled with adrenaline! Lucas Johnson going right after Ryan Wilson now, rolling him back into the ring and ignoring the referees demands —

( “Sound of Silence” by Necroblaspheme plays, and the crowd immediately reacts as APOCALYPSE walks out to the ring with Donovan Cross and Soothsayer Hamasa. )

Talib: OH NO PLEASE NO! NOT NOW! APOCALYPSE MARCHING DOWN TO THE RING SNARLING AT THE OPPORTUNITY OF FINISHING OFF THE REST OF THE SCORE!

Stew: This is awful.

Talib: LOOK AT THIS! ITS SHAKER JONES! SHAKER JONES IS STILL BANGED UP, BANDAGED AND BRUISED FROM EARLIER, BUT HE’S CHARGING AT APOCALYPSE AND CROSS FROM BEHIND JUST AS THEY GET TO RINGSIDE! BUT DONOVAN CROSS IMMEDIATELY INTERCEPTS JONES’ ATTACK AND IS ALREADY OVERWHELMING HIM AS THE TWO TRADE FISTS ON THE RAMP! AND CROSS SENDS SHAKER JONES HEAD FIRST INTO THE BARRIER AT THE SIDE OF THE RAMP!

Stew: A hopeless situation for The Score, you’ve got to respect Shaker Jones from running out of the infirmary to try and pose some sort of defense, but Donovan Cross is making him suffer for that, just unleashing on him with blow after blow! Shaker can barely fight back … meanwhile APOCALYPSE steps over the ropes from the apron and stands in the ring, shaking the ring with every foot step! Lucas Johnson smiling from ear to ear while Hamasa and Albert Hitchman stand by as spectators in the ring!

Talib: And look at that smug little bastard Lucas, scraping Wilson up from the canvas and offering him up to APOCALYPSE like he were some sort of sacrificial lamb!

Lucas Johnson: (off-mic) THAT’S RIGHT BIG MAN! FINISH HIM!!! SHOW HIM WHO’S BOSS!!!

Stew: AND APOCALYPSE OBLIGES!!! APOCALYPSE GRABBING A POWERLESS RYAN WILSON WITH HIS FIFTEEN INCH FISTS!!!! AND STANDING TWO HANDED CHOKE HANGING WILSON UP TO DRY!!! MEDICS ARE AT THE APRON PLEADING FOR APOCALYPSE TO PUT HIM DOWN, BUT APOCALYPSE TURNS HIS HEAD TOWARDS THEM AND THEY ALL JUMP OFF THE APRON COWERING IN FEAR!

Talib: NOW APOCALYPSE POPS WILSON ONTO HIS SHOULDERS!!!!

Stew: HELIX NEBULA!!!!!! RIB-SHATTERING F-5 SENDS WILSON INTO THE MAT SO HARD, THAT HE BOUNCES OFF OF HIS OWN RIBS ON IMPACT AND IS TURNED INSIDE OUT!!! BLOOD COMES GUSHING OUT OF WILSON’S MOUTH FROM INTERNAL BLEEDING, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!!!

( APOCALYPSE stands over Ryan Wilson snarling, and begins showing off his muscular giant frame to the crowd. Lucas Johnson is jumping for joy, and he’s so ecstatic that he slaps APOCALYPSE across the back and offers a hi-five. )

( ……… Apocalypse shoots Lucas Johnson the death glare. )

Talib: Uh oh!

( Lucas Johnson has his hands still up offering the hi-five …… )

( APOCALYPSE takes Johnson by the hand……. and lifts Johnson up from the ground. )

Stew: LUCAS JOHNSON GOING TO PAY FOR THAT! REMEMBER FOLKS THERE ARE NO FRIENDS IN THE EXTREME ELIMINATION CHAMBER, AND LUCAS JOHNSON MAY HAVE FORGOTTEN THAT FACT!

( APOCALYPSE hoists Lucas Johnson up with a military press. )

Talib: AND HE’S ABOUT TO GET A PAINFUL REMINDER!!! OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!!!

( APOCALYPSE throws Lucas Johnson over the ropes, sending him flying 10 ft. and crashing right into the 2nd row, landing on chairs after fans jump out of the way just in time. )

Stew: YOU’VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!!! I HAVE NEVER — AND I MEAN NEVER SEEN A GROWN HUMAN BEING THROWN THAT FAR!!!!

( “Sound of Silence” comes back on, and the audience roars in applause following that display of raw power. APOCALYPSE, Donovan Cross and Soothsayer Hamasa all take their leave. Hamasa, on her way out of the ring, stares down Albert Hitchman who cannot pick his jaw up off the floor. )

Talib: BOY THAT THING CALLED ‘KARMA’ SURE IS A MOTHER AIN’T IT STEW?

Stew: I wouldn’t wish the wrath of APOCALYPSE on anybody, but if anybody deserved it tonight it was Lucas Johnson! I hope Hitchman realizes that in four weeks time, his client Lucas Johnson is going to be just one of five other people who are LOCKED inside of a chamber with that monstrosity!

Talib: Good luck Lucas !!!

( Lucas Johnson is buried by a pile of rubble in the crowd, and all three members of The Score are incapacitated at various parts of ringside, leaving APOCALYPSE, Donovan Cross and Soothsayer Hamasa standing tall and taking their leave. The show eventually pans to commercial. )

( COMMERCIAL BREAK — including an advertisement for Sunday Night Voltage, where World Heavyweight Champion Rex McAllister meets longtime affiliate Charlie Marr in an Extreme Elimination Chamber preview! Also VIP claims he will expose EAW for a conspiracy against him, what does that mean? Find out this Sunday at 8pm, 7 central. )

( Camera opens back up to the Mexico City Arena where the camera pans the packed audience in this massive building. )

( DING! DING! DING! )

Stephie: The following contest is scheduled for one fall…

Crowd: ONE FALL!

Stephie: And it is a qualifying match for the Extreme Elimination Chamber!!!

Crowd: YAAAAAYYYYYYY!!!!!!

(“Dust” by Tremonti hits as Kevin Hunter walks out onto the stage and begins to make his way down the ramp.)

Stephie: Introducing first, making his way to the ring from—

Stew: EREBUS JENNINGS FROM BEHIND TURNS KEVIN HUNTER AROUND!!! AND IS LAYING INTO HIM WITH BLOWS TO THE FACE!!! The PURE champion laying into his opponent who had some choice words to say last week, including going as far as assaulting one of his own fans! He’s now grabbing Kevin by the head!

(Erebus guides Kevin by the head and runs him down and rolls him into the ring. Erebus slides in and yells at the referee to start the match.)

Erebus (off mic): RING THE BELL.

(Ding! Ding! Ding!)

Stew: The referee calls for the bell! Kevin Hunter has barely gotten to his knees but a rightfully angry Erebus isn’t letting up! He rushes in and plants a kick into Kevin’s ribs! Kevin flips over into the corner and Erebus steps back and appears to be waiting. As Stephie Love said, our General Manager, StarrStan, announced earlier that the winner of this match would be entered into the Extreme Elimination Chamber for the Answers World Championship! You have to wonder if that affects the mindset of either of these men tonight, partner.

Talib: Yeah well whoever wins this is one more win away from World Championship. And you have to know Erebus would love to become a double champions after taking him long as it did to win his first singles title as our reigning PURE champion. Kevin Hunter is pulling himself up to his feet as Erebus watches him, stalking… EREBUS CHARGES!!! STINGER SPLASH!!!

Stew: NO! Kevin slid out of the way and Erebus launched himself right into the turnbuckle! His head may have collided with the corner post! KEVIN HUNTER WITH A ROLL UP FROM BEHIND! HE GRABS A FISTFUL OF TIGHTS AS WELL!!!!

ONE! TWO!

Erebus kicks out before the three to stay alive! He got blinded by his anger and it nearly cost him! Kevin stays in the offensives but he’s clearly favoring his back as he moves where Erebus blasted him with the bat. He tries to grab Erebus from behind but Jennings returns with a back elbow! Erebus tried to tie up but Kevin now comes with a thumb to the eye! OH! And follows it with a vicious headbutt!

Talib: Erebus is stunned and Kevin takes advantage! He comes in and grabs Jennings from behind again! BIG RELEASE GERMAN SUPLEX! And now Kevin is on the assault! He stands up and stomps into Jennings! He pulls Erebus up and grabs him around the waist… BIG GUTWRENCH SUPLEX!!! Ooh that looks like it may have even strained Hunter’s back to execute! He clutches at his back as he steps over to Jennings’s prone body! Now he’s back to stomping a hole through Erebus!! Not letting up, he takes a step back and sets himself in position! Erebus clamors for the ropes and gets to them! He pulls himself up to his feet but he doesn’t see Hunter stalking him! Erebus turns around— BURIED ALIVE!!!

Stew: NO! Erebus shoves Kevin off and Kevin falls to the ground, landing right on his injured back! Erebus pulls him up by the head and looks to take the advantage back! He throws Kevin into the ropes and catches him on the rebound! SITOUT SPINEBUSTER!! Plants Kevin right on the hurt back! Erebus makes the cover!

ONE! TWO! THREE—

Kevin just gets the shoulder up! But Erebus isn’t bothered! I think he may enjoy inflicting more punishment on Kevin after everything tonight! Kevin rolls over and Erebus drops down on top of him! Now just raining down punches to the skull of Kevin Hunter! Now Kevin tries to roll back to his stomach from underneath and cover up, but Erebus just starts dropping elbows from there! And now Erebus stands up and he hits the ropes! OOOOH! Driving a penalty kick right into the ribs of Hunter!

Talib: Hunter rolling in pain now and Erebus catches him while he’s on his back and grabs the legs! Could be looking for the scorpion deathlock! Kevin tried to fight back but Erebus drops a boot into Kevin’s gut! Erebus Steph’s through and wraps the legs! SCORPION DEATHLOCK APPLIED! And Erebus is sinking it in deep! All that pressure applied to the back Kevin Hunter where Erebus attacked him with the bat earlier! And don’t forget that penalty kick he just put into the ribs! That affects the breathing and the submission is stretching Kevin’s upper abdomen and leaving him writhing in pain! Kevin is scratching and clawing to get to the bottom rope! He doesn’t wanna tap but he may not have a choice!

Stew: The former Openweight Champion is digging deep and looking for his way out of the hold! Pulling himself inch by inch and he’s reaching out! Fingertips away from the bottom rope!

Talib: BUT EREBUS DRAGS HIM BACK TO THE CENTER AND SINKS IT IN TIGHTER! KEVIN IS IN SERIOUS PAIN!!!! HE LOOKS DESPERATELY AROUND!!! FLAILING FOR SOMETHING TRYING TO FIND HIS WAY OUT! HES CLUTCHING HIS HEAD IN HIS HANDS!!! NOW HE RAISES HIS HAND UP! WILL HE DO IT?!?!?

( DING! DING! DING! )

Stew: KEVIN TAPPED!!

Stephie: Here is your winner… the EAW PURE champion… ERRREEBBBUSSSS JEENNNIIINNGGGGSSS!!!!

Talib: Erebus Jennings has made his way into the Extreme Elimination Chamber! We may be looking at the next Answers World Champion!!!

Stew: Erebus brutalized Kevin in this match! He was determined to make him eat his words, and honestly Kevin Hunter can’t say he didn’t ask it upon himself!

( Camera transitions backstage where Carmen Ava is in a private dressing room, seated in a wheelchair following the bump she took off of the apron last week at Wicked Games. She is preoccupied with her phone, and a knock can be heard on her door. )

Carmen Ava: Come in.

( Mr. DEDEDE enters the room inciting a HUGE mixed reaction from the fans. He is dressed in his ring gear and “Gawdzilla” t-shirt, and Carmen Ava sets her phone down and gives him a warm smile. )

Carmen Ava: Baby hi!

Mr. DEDEDE: Are you feeling okay my love?

Carmen: You’ve done everything you can to make me feel comfortable hun, thank you.

DDD: You deserve the world baby. I hope you’re ready because the big show is coming up in a few minutes…

Carmen: I have been waiting for this all week long Ryan, I’m so excited.

DDD: I just want you to know that you are the most important person in my world. I want to express my love for you in so many different ways, and I’d sing about my love for you from the mountain tops for the rest of my life baby.

Carmen: Ryan come here…

( DDD closes in on Carmen, and the two go face to face. )

Carmen: You make me feel more special than any man ever has… and I know you’re going to do such an amazing job out there. I love you.

DDD: I love you more… dame besos.

( DDD and Carmen come closer, with DDD towering over Carmen and eventually pressing his lips up against hers. The disgusted crowd reacts at the spit-swapping contest, and the two finally break lips after what feels like an eternity and giggle at each other. DDD takes his leave. )

Talib: THE GAWD CONCERT IS NEXT!

Stew: *sigh*…

( COMMERCIAL BREAK — including an advertisement hyping up the Extreme Elimination Chambers at the 12th Annual Road to Redemption! )

( Camera opens back up to the Mexico City Arena, where all of the lights are completely out. )

( We begin to hear the sounds of a guitar, with several riffs playing…. a spotlight finally comes on, and we see Mr. DEDEDE seated on a stool in the ring with a guitar in his hands. A drummer and a pianist can be seen in the background, giving DDD the live band he needs to perform. A microphone descends from the rafters, placed properly in front of DDD’s face for a hands-off microphone experience. Half of the crowd is heckling and jeering him, although some fans can be heard cheering as well. )

Mr. DEDEDE: It’s been a long time… it’s been a long time since I’ve been here, and it’s been a long time since I’ve said this phrase… but FINALLY, THE GAWD HAS COME BACK, TO MEXICOOOOOOOOOO CITYYYYYYYYYY!!!!

( DDD cackles and looks around with a big smile on his face, strumming a few notes from his guitar while the crowd gives off a major mixed reaction. )

DDD: It’s been an amazing week for me. Just got finished spending Thanksgiving with the love of my life just a few hours up the road and across the board in LA. Not sure if you people of Mexico City celebrate Thanksgiving or not but if I can just vent to you all, I truly have so much to be thankful for. I’m thankful for all of my wealth which I have accrued through being the most powerful man in the history of this industry. I’m thankful for my Gawdly abilities in the ring which have earned me more victories than anybody else in EAW history. I’m thankful for my win at Wicked Games last week which delivered me my 40th win in EAW FPVs — a record nobody else even comes close to. But more than anything else, I’m thankful for the love of my life…the woman who makes me better than I’ve ever been…my other half who makes me whole… and my guest of honor for tonight’s Gawd Concert… ladies and gentlemen, Carmen Ava.

( Carmen Ava can be seen at ringside as a spotlight shines on her. She is seated in her wheelchair with a big smile on her face, clutching the butterflies in her chest as her eyes are filled with joy and love. )

DDD: Te amo mi amor. Tonight is a big night for me, in just a few minutes you’re going to see me coast into the Extreme Elimination Chamber by ripping through Devan Dubian, but as of right now that’s irrelevant. The only thing that matters right now, is expressing the love that I’m filled with for the woman who is truly my rock, my gibraltar, the woman who restored my faith in all women, the woman who restored my faith in love itself! And while I’m here to give you all a show tonight, really the only person who I’m doing this for is you Carmen… everything I do, I do for you.

Stew: Give me a break…

DDD: And let me express that… with a little bit of this..

( DDD strums his guitar, playing a few notes with surprisingly good accuracy. )

DDD: (clears throat) (to the drummer and the pianist) I got this one myself guys..

( DDD begins playing an acoustic guitar version of “Loving You” by Minnie Riperton, and continues to clear his throat. He looks right into )

DDD: ♫Loooving youuu… is easy cause you’re beautiful
Making love with youuu… is alll I wanna doooo
Loooving you… is (voice cracks) moar than juuust a dream come true ♫

Stew: What am I watching…

DDD: ♫ Everything that I dooo, is out of loooving you.
Lalalalala, lalalalalala, doo doo dooo doo doooo
No one else can make me feel… the (voice cracks) colors that you bring!
Stay with me while we grow old and we will live each (actually hits this note) daaaay in springtime ♫

Talib: WOW!

DDD: ♫ Cause loooving youuuuu has made my life so beautiful
And every day of my liiifeee, is filled with loving youuu
Loooving youuu, I see your soul come shining through
And every time we, ooohhhh, I’m more in love with you ♫

( DDD stops the guitar, and the crowd starts to boo ferociously. Carmen claps up a storm. )

Talib: THAT WAS DAMN GOOD! HOLY HELL WHAT CAN’T THIS GUY DO?

Stew: Am I in an alternate universe or something?

DDD: Ayyyy that was just something light I haven’t even gotten started yet! The Gawd’s got vocal range like you wouldn’t believe baby, just had to start somewhere. Now baby this is all self-taught, I didn’t have any instructor, I didn’t take lessons, this is all just me myself and I. I have a classic tune in the pocket that I actually taught myself how to play back in 99′ when this song was everywhere. It’s from a Latin sensation, and since we’re in Mexico I know you’ll all appreciate this one (to his band in the background) let’s get it.

( DDD begins strumming the acoustic guitar again, and the background band begins with the drum and the keyboard. They begin playing a slower tempo instrumental to “You Sang To Me” by Marc Anthony. )

Stew: No way…

DDD: ♫I just wanted you to comfort me, when I called you late last night you see
I was falling into love
yass I was crashing into love
Offff all the words you sang to me, about life the truth and being free,
you sang to me, mmmmmm how you sang to me. ♫

DDD: ♫Girl I live off how you make me feeeel
so I question all this being reeeal
cause I’m not afraid to luv, for the first time I’m not afraid to love ♫

( The crowd starts to boo him ferociously, and DDD stops playing. )

Crowd: CULERO! CULERO! CULERO! CULERO! CULERO! CULERO! CULERO! CULERO! CULERO! CULERO! CULERO! CULERO!

DDD: (begins playing the guitar again, as his band continues with him over the boos)
♫OHH THIS DAY SEEMS MADE FOR YOU AND MEEE
AND YOU SHOWED ME WHAT LIFE NEEDS TO BEEE
AND YOU SANG TO ME, OHHH YOU SANG TO ME ♫

( The crowds boos get louder, and we see some shots of Carmen singing along while DDD is singing. )

♫ ALL THE WHILE YOU WERE IN FRONT OF ME I NEVER REALIZED
I JUST CAN’T BELIEVE I DIDN’T SEE IT IN YOUR EYESSSS
I DIDN’T SEE IT!
I CAN’T BELIEVE IT!
OHHHHHH BUT I FEEL IT… when you sing to meeee…
HOW I LONG TO HEAR YOU SING BENEATH THE CLEAR BLUE SKIES…♫

( A strong, solitary tear comes sliding down DDD’s face. )

Stew: Oh give me a break!

DDD: ♫ AND I PROMISE YOU THIS TIME I’LL SEE IT IN YOUR EYES!
I DIDN’T SEE IT!
I CAN’T BELIEVE IT.. ohhhh but I feel it… when you sing to me. …♫

( DDD stops playing the guitar, and Carmen Ava is emotional. DDD wipes away his tear, and blows a kiss to Carmen Ava. )

DDD: You know what baby I… I wanted to play a couple more songs but, but I can’t wait anymore. I have something for you right now, and I can’t hold it in even a single second longer.

( DDD places the acoustic guitar to the floor, and he steps through the ropes and drops down to ringside to smile lovingly at Carmen Ava. DDD is handed a microphone from a ringside worker, and the spotlight shines on himself and Carmen who are at ringside gazing into each others eyes. DDD grabs Carmen’s hand. )

DDD: I have never experienced a feeling like the way you make me feel, and I know we’ve only had “this” for a short while now… but I want to feel the way I’m feeling right now for the rest of my life. I want you to be mine forever and ever.

Stew: Oh don’t tell me…

Carmen: (off-mic) I’m yours baby.

DDD: Carmen, you are the love of my life, there is no other woman in this world who can even begin to compare to you….

( DDD drops to one knee, and the entre crowd becomes hysterical. )

Stew: No..

( DDD pulls out a small black box from the inside of his tights, and opens it showing off a 4.01 carat Diamond ring with 18 Karats of yellow gold. )

DDD: Carmen Estefanía Mercedes Ava… will you marry me?

Carmen: YES!!!!!

( DDD and Carmen immediately hug and kiss, causing the entire audience to boo the hell out of the both of them. )

Talib: This may be the most beautiful moment to ever take place on a Friday Night Dynasty.

Stew: OH COME ON! THIS IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS! CAN SOMEONE SIT DDD DOWN AND GIVE THIS GUY A SHRINK? THERE IS NO WAY YOU CAN BE THAT TWISTED TO CON A NAIVE, INNOCENT WOMAN INTO —

( “The Sky Is A Neighborhood” by Foo Fighters plays, and a disgusted Devan Dubian walks out to the ring dressed to compete and looking like he wants to vomit. )

Stew: Thank God.

Talib: Devan Dubian trying to ruin this special moment! For what?!

Stew: Because he actually has some scruples, and also because these guys have got a match next! Mr. DEDEDE is going to have to put all of this bogus chicanery to the side because Devan Dubian is looking for a spot in the Extreme Elimination Chamber, and DDD had better be prepared for a battle because that’s exactly what he’s going to get! Next!

( FINAL COMMERCIAL BREAK — including an advertisement for “The Palace” airs. A very special Quad-Branded EAW event airing on New Years Eve from the Alexandra Palace in London, England. Exclusively on Fight Grid, more details coming soon.)

( The broadcast returns to the ring, where Mr. DEDEDE and Devan Dubian are in opposite corners and warming up for the match that is about to take place. A referee is in the ring sizing both men up, and we see Theron Nikolas and Jack Ripley at ringside watching on like hawks. The referee calls for the bell. )

( DING! DING! DING! )

(Ding! Ding! Ding!)

Stew: This colossal Dynasty main event is now underway. A clash of two hall of famers is bound to make for a fantastic match as they both attempt to solidify their spot in the Dynasty Elimination Chamber match.

He immediately goes into attempting his next maneuver as he attempts to pick DEDEDE up for a quick scoop slam but DEDEDE puts a halt to it.

DEDEDE! WHAT A BRUTAL MOVE! DEDEDE was just nailed with that running big boot by Devan Dubian as his head dangles off the edge of the ring. Dubian now pulls himself up to the apron as he runs across it towards Mr. DEDEDE. HE LEAPS AND COMES DOWN ON THE CHEST AND THROAT AREA OF MR. DEDEDE FOR A LEG DROP! He falls back to the outside of the ring as DEDEDE is clutching his neck in even more pain. Dubian now rolls in and out of the ring to break the referees count on him. He pulls DEDEDE out of the ring as he lifts him up… AND DELIVERS ANOTHER SCOOP SLAM JUST AS HE DID EARLIER IN THIS MATCH UP!

THERE’S THE ONE PERCENT CHARGING AT DUBIAN FROM BOTH SIDES! Dubian drops DEDEDE as Ripley and Nikolas stop several feet short of him. Dubian eyes both of them as both men are berating him.

Stew: Devan Dubian has done it! He will be going to Road to Redemption in the Dynasty Elimination Chamber! Theron Nikolas and Jack Ripley wasted no time in assaulting Dubian when the referee went down but Dubian was saved by Cameron Ella Ava who was extremely emotional here tonight. Her assault on Mr. DEDEDE was relentless to the point that her mom had to intervene.

Talib: Even so, Dubian may owe this victory to her as he was outnumbered by The One Percent. But this is all from us here on Dynasty. What a night it was as, at least for one evening, Devan Dubian manages to topple the One Percent!

(Devan Dubian continues to stare down Theron Nikolas and Jack Ripley on the ramp as he celebrates his victory. Cameron Ella Ava is then shown leaving the arena through the crowd.)
