Dynasty 3/22/2019

(EAW intro plays.)

(The camera cuts to the ring as “I Hope You Suffer” by AFI hits and Theron Nikolas makes his way out through the curtain with the Answers World Championship hanging in his left hand. The boo’s from the thousands in attendance packed out inside the Rupp Arena echoes off the walls. Theron stands on the stage and raises the Answers World Championship high into the air as that same arrogant smirk from Ides of March covers his face.)

Stephie Love: Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome the ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION!!… THERON NIIIIIIKOLAAAAASSS!!

Stew: There is absolutely no room for forgiveness for this man’s actions at Ides of March… the entire roster put gave those in attendance and watching at home everything that they could offer. They did everything that they did to make the event everything that it could be; Ms. Extreme and Mark Michaels went to war over the PURE Championship. Jamie and Cameron against Bowie and Dubian. Lucas and Hades in that Buried Alive Match. This was such a HUGE weekend for Dynasty with all four brands holding massive shows – and this man ruined it. It was classless. It was unacceptable. He has ended careers; there hasn’t been word on the condition of one of the few men we thought this man called a friend in the EAW Chairman. Someone needs to do something about it.

Talib: I agree. At the end of the show I said that his plan came together perfectly. He was still the Answers World Champion; he walked out without a scratch on him. Donovan Cross was screwed out of his shot at that championship. You asked how could I condone it – but, I don’t. I liked Theron. I was one of the few that did; a man that did anything he had to in order to succeed, but that vile. He doesn’t care about anyone; everyone in his career is a pawn. He moved on so quickly after Jack Ripley was forced off the brand. DDD was taken out… for what? I have no doubt that there’s going to be a time where he turns on the last few names standing beside him. He’s the only person he cares about, and I’m with you on this, Stew. He needs to be stopped.

(Theron enters the ring and makes his way across the ring, climbing up to the middle rope and raises the Answers World Championship high again. Theron throws the Answers World Championship over his shoulder and drops back down to the canvas, demanding the microphone from Stephie Love as “I Hope You Suffer” fades out.)

Theron: I—

Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

(Theron slightly drops his head as he begins to laugh.)

Theron: I hold all of the control.

Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Theron: Did you really think that I was going to abide by any stupid little agreements by a man that proved to hold no trust? I had to deal with everyone talking about how I was another man that DDD made his puppet. I was another man like Hades; the man that brought him into our inner circle, only for him to drive that knife into our backs the first chance that he had. I was called stupid. I was called a faux champion. But, in return – I told the world exactly how things were. I have always been the man that sat at the head of the table. I was the man that made the perfect plans that guaranteed nothing but success. I created this Answers World Championship reign. I created the downfall of Ronn Banks. I created the destruction of Brian Daniels and Robbie V. He just wore that fake smile and basked in the glory that was never his. But, I let him play his game for as long as he proved to be useful. The chairman in my back pocket to make sure that I got away with absolutely everything and anything. I sat back and watched as he toyed with Cameron Ella Ava’s family, and didn’t move when it came back to bite him. I watched as he slaughtered, maimed and humiliated. He was forced onto the sidelines because of his own mistakes and carelessness.

But, that was when he proved that he bit the hand that fed him.

He took matters into his own hands. He gave people that never deserved the right to stand in the same ring as this company’s God Emperor and promised them the chance to hold the world in the palm of their hands. He told them to protect the Answers World Champion, and in return they would get the chance to face him. He tried to take the reigns. He tried to sit on my throne and potential destroy everything that I worked so hard to recreate. I’ve watched it in the past. The House of Renegades destroyed by his hand while he stood within it. He was just like all of you. He refused to see me for exactly what I am. His eyes made him see me for what he hoped that I was. But, I said it. There has NEVER been another person in this company like your God Emperor. There has never been a man that has been able to manipulate absolutely anything and everything. There has never been a man that has been able to systematically been able to take out every man that claimed to build the pillars of this company. There has never been another man that has been able to force everyone that has stood in his way to make every move that he’s wanted them to – a man that has constantly been three moves ahead of anyone that has wanted to go to war.

(The hint of a smile crosses the face of Theron.)

Theron: I am so glad that both Amber and Cleopatra see things as I do. He wasn’t an asset. He became a liability. There was never a devil that would cut down a God Emperor. There was never going to be a monster that was going to destroy. I proved to him that I held all of the control on Dynasty. The Elimination Chamber should have been enough. WHILE HE WAS DESTROYED BY PEOPLE THAT ARE SO FAR BELOW US – I WAS THE DESTROYER. I CUT DOWN MONSTERS, THE AMAZING, THE DARKNESS, MACHINES, HELLRAISER’S – FUCKING EVERYONE. BUT, HE STILL NEEDED TO BITE THE HAND THAT FED HIM. HE WATCHED ME CONQUER A MAN THAT HE HAS HID FROM FOR YEARS, AND HE STILL ALMOST THREW AWAY EVERYTHING THAT I HAD GIVEN US.

Ides of March was proof of what happens when you forced me to bear the sword I hide. The man that was considered to be unbreakable; the “Greatest of all Time” – forced to pay with his career for the mistakes that he made. Donovan Cross a casualty for his selfishness. His name, Apocalypse’s career – their blood rests on your hands, Ryan. And, now, everyone else can blame you for what they’re going to suffer. What people don’t understand; what you didn’t understand is that I was kind. I gave the world a chance I live, and if they were foolish enough to attempt to fight back they were dealt with. But, I’m done with that. The world has no choice but to line up and kneel before Cleopatra, Amber and I, or they’re all going to suffer the same fate as you did. That weight falls onto your conscience. You’re the man that sealed their fate. You’re the man that brought ruin to the company that you take so much pride in helping create.

(Theron takes a deep breath as he looks at the Answers World Championship on his shoulder.)

Theron: I know that you’re watching while you lay there in that hospital bed. I know you’re going to be back and when you do return. I’ll be waiting. I’ll be waiting, Ryan, to do the same thing again. I’ll be waiting to hear your skull shatter. I’ll be there to watch your career break. I’ll make sure that I’m the man that forces you to stand in front of the world with absolutely nothing. Not as a Gawd. Not as the “Greatest of all Time”. Just a man that threw everything away, simply because he thought he had the control he never held.

This is MY brand. This is MY company. This is MY company.

(Theron lowers his microphone and raises the Answers World Championship… as “2nd Sucks” by A Day To Remember hits. Theron’s eyes shoot towards the stage as the Dynasty General Manager, Starr Stan marches out through the curtain down to the ring with a microphone in hand.)

Stew: Strong words from the Answers World Champion, but THIS is what I’ve been waiting for. I’ve been wondering what the Dynasty General Manager felt about the ending of Ides of March, and by the look on the man’s face – he does NOT look happy!

Talib: He needs to be careful…

(Starr enters the ring and immediately comes face to face with Theron. Theron doesn’t back down as the hint of a smile returns to his face.)

Starr: I should fire you right now.

Theron: I DARE you to do it.

Starr: I’ve had calls all week; I’ve been dealing with the board of directors wanting your head. They want to get rid of you. They want that Answers World Championship stripped from your possession; thrown out those doors and left with every single person that you SCREWED at Ides of March.

Theron: But, you’re not going to do that, are you? No, no. You’d never do that, would you?

Starr: You’re right, Theron. That would be FAR too easy. That would be too kind for what you’ve done and what you did. There isn’t anyone back there that doesn’t want to take your head off. In an instant – you didn’t prove your control. You lost any leverage that you had. DDD was the only thing that could stop me from doing whatever the fuck I wanted to do. I could make you face the entire fucking roster until you lost that championship; I could make your entire life on Dynasty an absolute living hell, and unlike Jack Ripley – there isn’t salvation on another brand. You’re public enemy number one.

Theron: Is that meant to scare me, Starr? I shaking in my boots.

Starr: But, what would that accomplish? That’s been my rebuttal for everyone that wanted you thrown out those doors. After Pain for Pride I stood in front of these people and spoke about how I wanted to create a revolution in this business. I wanted Dynasty to be the best brand that this company had to offer, but you’re the man that’s stopped that from happening. It’s always been about you. I love competition. I brought back the championship that was retired with me at Pain for Pride 9 because it represented everything that I took pride in. But, you – you’re nothing close to that. And the worst part is that you’re so much better than this. Your match with Jamie was what I wanted. Two of the best going head to head with the better man coming out on top – but you pissed that away. I’m done, Theron. You’re not going to do it again.

Theron: And who’s going to stop me, Starr? Why don’t you back there, put on that old singlet and I’ll teach you who truly is the “Elite”.

Starr: No, Theron. I’m going to target that championship on your shoulder. If you want to be the Answers World Champion – you’re going to be the kind of champion that I want. You’re going to bring pride, prestige – you’re going to have to make that championship everything it was when I was Champion

(Theron rolls his ways before Starr rips the Answers World Championship off Theron’s shoulder.)

Starr: Any interference, any shortcoming, any screwjob – anything that I don’t agree with… and it’s all over. I’ll give everyone what they want and you’ll be gone forever. It’s simple. You want to be champion, you’ll be a CHAMPION.

Theron: Do you think that I’m not going to run through everyone, Starr?

(“UltraNUMB” by Blue Stahli hits as Cameron Ella Ava makes her way through the curtain to a THUNDEROUS ovation. She makes her way down the ramp and is handed a microphone; her eyes never leaving Theron Nikolas.)

Cameron: When are you going to drop the act, Theron?

Starr: I was dealing with this, Cameron.

Cameron: This wasn’t going to do anything. If you want to kill a snake – you cut off its head.

(Theron laughs as Cameron shakes her head.)

Cameron: Ides of March was your greatest mistake, Theron. You thought… you think that you’re untouchable. You tell people to take off those rose tinted glasses, but you’re blind to what you’ve managed to do. You taking out DDD wasn’t strategy or you cutting away a piece of the 1% that has outgrown its usefulness. You panicked the moment that DDD made a deal with someone that wasn’t you. You said it yourself. This is about control. You want to rule. You called yourself the King of EAW. The man that’s ascended into something greater; a God Emperor – but, one small decision proved that you didn’t hold any control. You were just a man in the position that you’re in because DDD wanted you to be there. The man that bought into everything that Ryan was telling you; that you’re special. That there wasn’t anyone in this company that’s better than you are, Theron. You took the opportunity you needed to take in order to eliminate someone you didn’t think you could trust. But… that attack on Apocalypse, taking out Donovan Cross before that Answers World Championship match – that wasn’t the result in sending a message to DDD. It wasn’t to prove what you’re capable of. It was about faith. It’s incredible, isn’t it, Theron. That feeling of someone with so much power holding so much faith in you. It’s what keeps you going when you feel like you have absolutely nothing left. But, you took a business decision to heart. Instead to taking on the challenge; putting down two people that were afforded the challenge and were legitimate threats to the championship you hold – you cut their legs out from under them before they were given the chance to stand. The question I have Theron is that through all that bravado and arrogance – do you truly have faith in yourself?

Theron: You can’t be the stupid.

Cameron: That isn’t an answer. What’s more important to you, Theron? Would you rather be a great champion, or would you rather be champion?

Theron: …

Cameron: It’s not hard to see that you dream of going down as one of the greatest names in the history of this business, and you were doing everything you needed to in order to achieve what you wanted. But, you destroyed everything you worked so hard to create. The 1% isn’t the collection of incredible talents – they’re a collection of people that’s brought together to make sure that you survive. Do you know what puts the likes of Jamie, Rex, Darkane, DC; everyone that you’re so desperate to sit above? It’s not the fact that they were champions; it’s the fact that they did everything they could to make something as precious as what sits on your shoulder everything that it could be. They built it up while you drag that championship through the mud and try to claim that it’s special.

(Theron clenches his fist as Starr smiles ear to ear as Cameron remains stern.)

Cameron: Everyone back there agrees with Starr. We want this brand to be everything that it can be. We want this brand to be the brand that it had been for so long. People have tried to rip you off that “throne” you sit on… but the problem is that they’ve stepped back when they’ve fallen short. I’m not backing down.

Theron: You’re the person that thinks you’re going to take this championship away from me, Cameron? The same mentality that every single other fucking person has had when they’ve stood in front of their God Emperor.

Cameron: There’s no one left to save you after Ides of March.

Theron: Who said that I needed saving, Cameron?

(“Communication of the Cursed” by Ice Nine Kills hits as Donovan Cross powers through the curtain. He charges down to the ring and shoots directly towards Theron, but is intercepted by Starr.)

Cross: You don’t need saving?! If it wasn’t for those two whores – you wouldn’t fucking be champion.

Theron: If it wasn’t for that “whore” right there you wouldn’t have a career left.

Cross: Oh, really? Put your fucking money where your mouth is.

Theron: Can you put a leash on this dog, Starr?

Cross: Nah, I have a better idea. Give me the Answers World Championship match I was screwed out of at Ides of March and let me force you to swallow all of your fucking teeth.

Cameron: Now, that’s something that I would LOVE to see.

Starr: No…

Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Starr: Unfortunately, while he’s the EAW Chairman, Donovan – you made that deal with DDD and not me. I’m sorry about what happened at Ides of March, but that match is off the table.

(Donovan goes wide eyed as Theron chuckles.)

Starr: Not so fast, because you’re not the only one responsible for the mess that happened at Ides. Donovan, you want to take out some aggression? Do it next week against Amber Keys!

Cross: Again? I’ve already faced her once before! C’mon, Star, if you’re not going to give me a rematch give me something!

(Starr holds up a hand cautioning Cross.)

Starr: You have faced her, but not like this: Next week Donovan Cross is facing Amber Keys in a street fight!

Starr: If Amber wins next week then she can be at ringside for your upcoming title match at the Grand Rampage, which will be against…Cameron Ella Ava!

Crowd: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Starr: If Amber loses, then the rest of the 1% will be banned from ringside.You want to parade around like you’re the greatest champion ever, then let’s see you prove it! How will you hold up when the playing field has been evened?

(Starr drops the microphone as “2nd Sucks” picks up. Starr leaves the ring as both Cameron Ella Ava and Donovan Cross both stare at the Answers World Champion. Theron raises the championship high into the air.)

Stew: Wow! An explanation given, harsh realities forced to swallow, revenge wanted and a big match made for next week!

Talib: You can feel it, Stew. Pain for Pride season is almost here and Starr has created the perfect way to get the ball rolling!

(A final shot of the three standing in the ring is shown before the camera fades to commercial.)

Stephie Love: The following triple threat match is scheduled for one fall!

(“Ten Thousand Fists” by Disturbed starts up over the arena speakers. )

Stephie Love: Introducing first, from Boston, Massachusetts, weighing in at 120 pounds, CCCCCCEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLEEEEEEESSSSSS DDDDDDUUUUUUMMMOOOOOONNNNTTTTTT!!!

( Celes steps out past the curtain to a downpour of boos. She simply scowls as she makes her way to the ring.)

Stew-O: Direct from Empire we have Celes Dumont in action here tonight, and judging from the look on her face she’s ready for a fight tonight! What does she have to do her to walk away with a win?

Talib: Well she is dealing with two lighting quick competitors, usually you would want to wrestle a speedster to the mat and try to keep him there, but in a triple threat match you always have another opponent to watch out for. To win she is gonna have to find a way to keep both of her opponents from building up too much momentum and keep their feet on the ground!

Flannery: let’s also remember that despite having turned pro only a short while ago, wrestling is in this woman’s veins, and the Wealth of knowledge passed down to her by her own flesh and blood may well pay dividends tonight!

( Dumont enters the ring under the bottom rope, the crowd continues to boo her till “Fiend Club” by The Misfits begins to play.)

Stephie: And her opponents, first, From Toronto, Ontario, Canada, Weighing at 202 pounds, JJJJJJJJAAAAAAAXXXXXXXSSSSSSSOOOOONNNNNN CCCCCCAAAAAIIIIIINNNNN!!!

( Jaxson rushes out on stage and down the ramp to a mixed reaction.)

Stew: Voltage’s own Jaxson Cain one of the most raw talents in all of EAW but what he lacks in experience, he makes up for in unbridled energy!

Talib: and He’ll have to use every ounce of that energy and stay on the attack if he wants to walk away with the victory!

Flannery: and a win here in this new breed showcase would not only go far in establishing him here in EAW, but it would also help move him up the contender rankings towards the New Breed Title.

( Jaxson slides into the ring, Dumont gets into his face but the referee gets in between them. The two jaw Jack with each other till “King Of the underground” by R.A. The Rugged Man hits over the speakers.)

Stephie: And from Cleveland, Ohio, Weighing In at 177 pounds, MMMMMMMAAAAAAALLLLLLIIIIIKKKKKKK KKKKKKEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEDDDDDYYYYY!!!!

( Kennedy steps out on stage full of swagger which is boosted by the cheers of the crowd.)

Stew: Here is a man who in my opinion has brought his game up in the past few weeks and Malik Kennedy with every match just seems to get better and better!

Flannery: I agree Stew, Malik has had a fire lit under since Kevin Hunter nearly ended his career, and that may well help him earn the win here tonight in this New Breed showcase!

Talib: Malik has been on a hot streak, but I have to wonder if he’s feeling too confident tonight! He is up against stiff competition and if he takes either of his opponents too lightly tonight, he’ll find himself with a loss in the column and a opportunity to impress squandered!

( Malik Enters the ring, the ref asks if he is ready, He nods yes.)

DING DING DING!!!

Stew: The bell sounds to open this contest, all three contestants standing in the center of the ring, each trying to anticipate who’s gonna make the first move! And it’s Jaxson with a forearm to the jaw of Kennedy! Malik Answers back with a right hand! Malik follows up as Jaxson looks a little stunned from that last shot! Kennedy with a third right and whips Jackson off the ropes, Malik looking for a back body drop! But Jaxson counters with a sunset flip!

Ref: OOOONNNNNEEEEE!

Flannery: Dumont breaking up the pin with a sharp kick to the face! And Celes now backing herself into a corner and crouching down low. Kennedy back up to his feet with Jaxson doing the same, and Malik takes him over with the hurricanrana! Jaxson planted head over feet into the mat as Kennedy reaches back and hooks the legs for the cover!

Ref: OOOONNNNNEEEEE!!! TTTTTWWWWWOOOOOOO!!!

Talib: And Dumont breaks up the pin with a kick to the back of Kennedy’s head! Kennedy down on his knees, Dumont staying on him and hooks on a waistlock, Malik getting to his feet, AND DUMONT LANDS A HUGE GERMAN SUPLEX!!! Dumont back Up to her feet, But Cain takes her by the wrist and levels her with a short arm clothesline!

Stew: Malik back up and again begins to trade blows with Cain! Back and forth these two are going at it! Dumont getting back up and shoots herself off the ropes… SPEAR! CELES TAKING PUT BOTH OPPONENTS WITH A MASSIVE SPEAR!!! Cain rolling out of the ring under the bottom rope trying to catch his breath after having the wind knocked out of him, Kennedy clutching his ribs as he is down on the mat, as Celes Dumont takes to the second rope, and launches herself With a diving elbow drop that connects with the back of Malik’s Head! Dumont with a cover, leg is hooked!

Ref: OOOONNNNNEEEEE!!! TTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOO!!!

Flannery: Kennedy kicking out! Malik getting back to his feet, Dumont meets him with a knife edge chop! Celes lands a second chop, and a third, Celes with the Irish Whip, Malik reverses it, Dumont rebounds off the far side, AND MALIK CATCHES HER WITH A RUNNING FRONT DROPKICK! Celes hit hard and knocked through the ropes from that one!

Talib: On the outside Jaxson Cain now beginning to pick Celes Dumont up off the floor, but doesn’t happen to see Malik Kennedy climbing up the turnbuckles! Kennedy perched up on top… DIVING CROSSBODY TO THE OUTSIDE!!! Malik taking out both of his opponents with a daredevil dive to the floor! The crowd cheering as Malik rolls Jaxson Cain into the ring! Cain up to his knees quickly, Malik charging at him, and nails him right in the face with the shining wizard! Kennedy with the cover!

Ref: OOOONNNNNEEEEE!!! TTTTTTTWWWWWWOOOOO!!! KICKOUT!!!

Stew: Malik picking Jaxson up by the head, and takes him down with a snap Suplex! Kennedy stepping out onto the apron, and begins to climb the turnbuckles again! Malik up top, what’s he gonna do now?! OH MY! CELES DUMONT SHOVING MALIK KENNEDY OFF THE TOP AND ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE ARENA FLOOR!

(A replay airs of Malik crashing from the top turnbuckle straight down to the floor.)

Flannery: Celes with a sick, satisfied smile on her face as she surveys the damage done to Malik Kennedy! Dumont entering the ring and begins to stomp away at Jaxson’s head! Cain trying to shrug off those shots as he gets back to his feet! OH! CELES WITH A NASTY SPINNING BACKFIST THAT LANDS FLUSH! Jaxson with his back up against the ropes, Dumont lighting him up with those machine gun chops! Each one echoing throughout the arena! Celes now with the snapmare, AND FOLLOWS UP WITH THE SHOOT KICK! THE TWISTED SISTER CONNECTS!

Talib: Jaxson feeling that one but still sitting up, Dumont hitting the ropes, AND LANDS THE PENALTY KICK! That running soccer kick nearly caved in the chest of Jaxson Cain! Dumont not going for a cover which is a mistake in my book, instead she hits the ropes and leaps high for the elbow drop… IT LANDS! Celes reaching a bit out her playbook but it works nonetheless! Cain allowed to get back to his feet, Dumont on him with a Muay Thai clinch and begins to land those hard knee strikes to the chest! WAIT, CAIN CATCHING THAT LEG, Celes on one leg as Jaxson spins her around! AND WOW WHAT A JUMPING HIGH KICK THAT CATCHES DUMONT SQUARE IN THE JAW!

Stew: Celes knocked down, but she’s back up quick as a cat! Jaxson waiting for her and and plants her face first into the mat with the full Nelson bulldog! Quick cover by Jaxson!

Dumont up on the top turnbuckle, what’s she thinking- HEY LOOK! MALIK KENNEDY JUST HOPPED UP ON THE APRON AND IS NOW BATTLING WITH DUMONT UP ON THE ROPES! Both Malik and Celes teeter tottering as they trade shots back and forth! Malik with a right to the ribs! Celes with a headbutt! Kennedy lands another shot! Dumont with an eye rake before she kicks Kennedy off and down to the apron!

Talib: Malik Down on the ring apron, Celes turning her attention back to Jaxson…IRISH DEATH! She has flattened Jaxson with the moonsault double stomp! Jaxson is down and out! Dumont is stalking him as he struggles to his feet….GREETINGS FROM JUNON! Celes flattens Jaxson with the F-5! She hooks the leg!

(DING DING DING!)

Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of this match…CCEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLEEESSSSSSSSS DUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(‘Ten Thousand Fists’ plays as Celes holds her arms up in victory.)

(Backstage we see the team of The FloBros: Thadd Blazevich, and the Carters, Crosby and Carsyn are standing in front of a huge crowd of Kentucky fans all decked out in Wildcat jerseys and merchandise. Thadd grins at the camera as it moves closer to him.)

Thadd: WHOA! Bros, look at this crowd! The Bro Blue Nation is in full effect here tonight! We’re here just chillin’ with all these righteous dudes and wanted to send out a reminder, our quest to strap the EAW Unified Tag titles around our waists hasn’t ended! As a matter of fact, next week we’re going to be up close and personal with those titles!

(Carsyn steps forward, a freshly painted ‘UK’ on her cheek, as Thadd gives the crowd high fives.)

Carsyn: See, next week the Dark Cabal will be cashing in the title match they earned at King of Elite…only it won’t be Stew, Flannery, and Talib at the table calling the action, it’s gonna be Thadd, Crosby, and myself, the FloBros! It doesn’t matter who walks out next week with the titles because whoever it is will be face to face with the team who is going to take the titles from them, it’s only a matter of time until the gold is on the Bros!

(As she steps aside Crosby moves into view.)

Crosby Carter: Oh man, I can’t wait until the Bros have as many championships as Bro-tucky has banners hanging from the rafters! Fuck that’s gonna be a great feeling! Until then, Jaded Hearts, Dark Cabal, whoever, hold those titles close, because they’re coming to the Bros baby!

(Crosby laughs while Thadd climbs on a merchandise table and holds his fist in the air.)

Thadd: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! LET’S GO BROS!

Crowd: LET’S GO BROS! LET’S GO BROS! LET’S GO BROS!

(The scene fades as the roaring crowd cheers the FloBros.)

Stephie Love: The following contest is scheduled for one fall!

(‘Timebomb’ by Blackfoot and Rancid begins to play as Shaker Jones emerges from the back to cheers from the crowd. He looks determined as he walks down the ramp towards the ring.)

Stephie Love: Introducing first, from Manitoba, Canada, weighing in at 250 lbs…’THE PUNK ROCK COUNTRY BOY’……SHAKERRRRRR JONESSSSSSSSSS!

Flannery McCoy: Shaker Jones coming into this match looking pretty confident, perhaps we’re going to see a more serious and aggressive side to him tonight as he looks to pick up the victory!

Talib Bari: And I think he stands a good chance! His opponent doesn’t have as much experience as him, especially not in an EAW ring, and if Shaker comes out here determined, then this one could be in the bag!

Stephie Love: And introducing his opponent…

(‘Timebomb’ fades out as ‘Born of a Broken Man’ by Rage Against the Machine begins to play. Muerte Roja explodes onto the stage, looking energetic and ready to go.)

Stephie Love: From San Luis Potosí, Mexico, weighing in at 175 lbs…he is ‘LA OVEJA NEGRA’…..MUERTE ROJAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Flannery McCoy: Muerte Roja will be looking for a win here, which honestly he desperately needs right now!

Talib Bari: If he wants to get his EAW career on track, he’ll be going for the kill in this match! The guy seems to have a lot of energy, let’s see if it can translate into a win for him!

(‘Born of a Broken Man’ fades out as Shaker and Muerte go to their respective corners. The official calls for the bell.)

(DING DING DING!)

Flannery McCoy: This match is underway and Shaker Jones is wasting no time! He charges at Muerte Roja and HITS HIM WITH A CANADIAN CLOTHESLINE! That running lariat just turned Muerte inside out as he folds over himself on the mat! That is DEFINITELY a powerful way to open this match! Shaker showing no mercy as he lands a series of mounted punches to Muerte! The referee about to get involved, but Shaker gets up off of Muerte and…begins to pick him up! HE’S LIFTING HIM UP INTO A GUTWRENCH POWERBOMB! Shaker showing some impressive strength here! Muerte Roja is still showing some signs of life, struggling as Shaker lifts him up…

Talib Bari: BUT SHAKER HITS IT! GUTWRENCH POWERBOMB SHAKES THE RING! He calls that the ‘Sidewinder’ and I know for sure it winded Muerte! Shaker hooks the leg, going for an early pin attempt!

Referee: ONEEEEEEE! TWOOOOOOOO!

Talib Bari: Kick Out by Muerte Roja! Shaker has landed some big moves on him early on, but he’s still got a bit of fight in him! Shaker gets to his feet and drags Muerte up with him…Shaker hooks his arm around Muerte’s neck – HE COULD BE LOOKING FOR THE ROCKANDROLLA DDT!

Flannery McCoy: But Muerte is fighting! He lands a stiff punch to the gut of Shaker…A SECOND! AND A THIRD! Muerte breaking free from Shaker’s hold and turning to run to the far ropes! He rebounds off, comes rushing towards Shaker at incredible speed!

Talib Bari: SHAKER ONE STEP AHEAD THOUGH! He picks Muerte up onto his shoulders, showing off that impressive strength! Muerte looking stunned up in that fireman’s carry hold, he wasn’t expecting a reversal! Shaker spinning, dizzying Muerte and…FIREMAN’S CARRY CUTTER! HE JUST PLANTED MUERTE ROJA INTO THE MAT WITH THE SHAKERMAKER!

Flannery McCoy: That may have been Muerte’s last chance to get back into this match and it looks like he’s blown it! Shaker proving to be extremely focused here tonight! Muerte is down on the mat, barely moving, and Shaker is going to the middle ropes in the corner! He’s got his eyes focused on Muerte, watching him slowly get to his feet. Shaker clapping, trying to wake Muerte up, and the crowd clapping along in unison with him!

(Crowd claps in unison, slowly getting faster as Muerte gets back up to his feet.)

Flannery McCoy: Muerte on his feet, looking incredibly unsteady…that cutter must have taken a lot out of him! Shaker pauses for a moment on the middle ropes, calculating the distance between them and…

Talib Bari: STUNNER! SHAKER JONES HITS MUERTE ROJA WITH A STUNNER OFF THE MIDDLE ROPE! MUERTE JUST FLEW THROUGH THE AIR FROM THE IMPACT OF THAT MOVE AND IS FOLDED UP IN A HEAP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING! Shaker rolls him over and goes for the pin, the crowd counting along with the referee!

Referee: ONEEEEEEEEE! TWOOOOOOOOO! THREEEEEEEEEEEE!

(DING DING DING!)

(‘Timebomb’ by Blackfoot and Rancid begins to play as Shaker Jones gets up off of the motionless Muerte Roja. The referee raises Shaker’s arm in victory, the crowd cheering.)

Stephie Love: Here is your winner…..’THE PUNK ROCK COUNTRY BOY’ SHAKERRRRRRRRRRRRR JONESSSSSSSSSSSS!

Flannery McCoy: What an incredible performance from Shaker Jones here tonight! He was in almost complete control from start to finish and finished the match off emphatically! The dominance he displayed in this match is sure to give him a lot of momentum going forward!

(Shaker Jones celebrates as the crowd cheers and the official checks on Muerte Roja.)

(‘Timebomb’ begins playing as Shaker raises his arms in victory but suddenly the music cuts.)

Voice-Off: ‘Ladies and Gentlemen MY NAME… Is …’

(The crowd follows by saying ”RYAN… WILSON” which makes the Canadian Studmuffin smirk as he makes his way out of the curtain and upon the stage looking over to the crowd and then the empty ring.)

Ryan: The Hutch can’t even get that out of you fans, thanks!

(The crowd mildly laughs as Ryan makes his way casually towards the ring.)

Ryan: For the past few months The Score has been going against The One Percent and there have been brutal battles happening on both sides. We, well I, managed to take Jack Ripley away from them for good while they only managed to injure us temporarily. I have news from the doctor’s office directly: Jason McKormick WILL come back! In fact…

(He turns towards the stage pointing it with his Ryan Wilson Show themed microphone as The Devil And I by Slipknot plays and the third member of The Score shows up looking in shape and ready for a fight!)

Ryan: Jason McKormick is back BABAY!!!

(The pop from the crowd is felt nicely through the arena. Shaker pumps the crowd up as Jason steps through the ropes and hugs his brothers of The Score and the three of them raises each other’s arms looking as motivated as ever despite the loss of last week against Amber Keys and Cleopatra.)

Ryan: It’s good to have you back man! The Score wasn’t the same without you around. Now! The One Percent clearly, let’s give it to them, have the number’s game on their side.and even if they got rid of Mister Dedede at Ides of March they still have The Task Force with them and this makes them a dangerous threat every single time they come out this ring! It never stopped us before, but it’s clear now more than ever that we need to even the odds! So it’s a great thing to have Jason back, but we need to go next level if we want to achieve anything! In hockey when a team lacks in some areas they try and trade or sign free agents from the local market. Since doing this didn’t work when we tried to recruit guys like Malik Kennedy and Mark Michaels then a good general manager knows when to go International to find talent! Just like the Los Angeles Kings when they managed to land Ilya Kovalchuk, only the talent I am bringing here tonight before you was in my backyard all along!

(The Score’s theme song plays and two individuals make their way to the ring under the smirk of Ryan, the joy of Shaker and the applauds of Jason. )

Stew-O: Oh my god is it…

Talib: Yes! Sylvain Primeau and Tony St-Michel!

Flannery: Have you seen the shape of those men? And look at the Brujah! He is a mountain of a man! A real monster! A six foot eight monster!! We are told that the two of them have been training Ryan since the day his mentor, Sylvain’s father the late Sebastien Primeau died two years ago back at Sanctuary of Wrestling! Brujah and Wilson worked together on the independent scene winning tag team gold together! On Sylvain’s side, he was the most prolific and successful young star of the company winning gold and more in a quick amount of time! The two of them are clearly going to be major additions to The Score’s chances of moving forward against the 1%!!

Stew-O: Now if I was Theron and The Court I would start to worry.

Ryan: Now despite these two amazingly incredible athletes now being a part of our ranks, we have to accept the fact that something inside The Score doesn’t work! The cold harsh fact is that despite our best efforts we haven’t been able to cut it against Dedede, Theron and recently Amber and Cleopatra. Sure we conquered the likes of Donovan Cross and Apocalypse but clearly, that wasn’t enough in the grand scheme of things. Something had to be done, that’s why I brought them to EAW in a more active way than just being my training partners! The two of them will do wonders, but we need to do one more thing. So…

Talib: WOAH!!! RYAN JUST GAVE THE GAME OVER STUNNER TO SHAKER JONES!!!!

Stew-O: What the hell?? Why did he do this? Does he think Jones was a weakling to the team??

(Sylvain and Brujah quickly give a beating to the already beaten Shaker who can do nothing but take the assaults, Jason laughs at the whole ordeal as Wilson watches on with a smirk on his lips.)

Flannery: McKormick is smiling!?!? Is he in on this???

Stew-O: Seems so! Ryan and Jason have decided to get rid of their partner and the two new additions of The Score are taking it out on him in brutal fashion!

(Primeau and St-Michel keep on beating up Shaker while Jason yells ”You’re Worthless! You always were! This is what you get for dragging us down you dumbass trash heap!” just before the tower of a man Brujah picks up the battered Shaker and tosses him into the crowd like yesterday’s news!)

Stew-O: WOAH DID YOU JUST SEE THAT?!?!

Talib: I’m speechless. I never thought The Score would turn like this!

(Jason is clearly enjoying himself as Ryan gives a high five to Sylvain, he goes for one to Brujah but the monster of a man looks down at his partner as if he was going to rip him open with his eyes which gets Wilson to lower his hand. The crowd doesn’t know what to do at this point as Ryan brings the mic back to his lips.)

Ryan: Jason, what we did just there wasn’t pretty… But it was necessary. Agreed?

Jason: You got damn right!

(He says as he offers a handshake to his partner Ryan who takes it. The two shakes hands with Ryan smiling looking at Jason but then the smile fades.)

Talib: Oh no…

Stew-O: GAME OVER ON JASON TOO?!!? WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?!?!?!

(The crowd is stunned as Ryan Wilson just attacked not one but both of his Score brothers and the same treatment to Shaker by Sylvain and Tony is repeated on Jason who also ends up in the crowd by the monster of a man St-Michel. The whole time this happens Ryan is grinning and actually applauding before then moving his hands on his t-shirt that has the Score print on it and rip it off him.)

Flannery: WOAH!

(Wilson then goes to give a handshake to Sylvain who accepts it and looks up to Tony not going for a gesture with his hand this time but simply gives a nod which is returned by the beast of a man who is in front of him.)

Ryan: I said there was going to be a State of The Score’s Address tonight… Well, the Address is this! What you see before you; The Score is dead! I don’t feel like justifying myself to YOU folks tonight. All will be revealed in due time. Meanwhile, allow me to introduce you…To The Family!

Stew-O: What did we just witnessed?

Talib: I don’t know, but I won’t hide I like it!

(Cut to commercial for next week’s Empire where Minerva takes on Cleopatra in the main event.)

(“Young and Bitter” by Hot Tag Media Works blasts through the PA speaker, and the crowd begin too boo as Lucas Johnson steps out from the back with his phones over his ears, with Albert Hitchman walking next to him.)

Stephie Love: The following contest is set for one fall! Introducing first, from Atlanta, Georgia, weighing 205 pounds, “The Wrestling Machine”, Lucaaaaaaaaaaaaas Johnsoooooon!

Stew-O: I gotta say, I’m surprised too even see Lucas walk out here. His face is so bruised, I almost didn’t recognize him for a moment.

Talib Bari: Yo, ya man’s got messed up by Hades at Ides of March. He should be coughing’ up dirt right now! But as he’s steppin’ through those ropes right now, he’s more than confident.

(Lucas throws off his jacket and hands over his Dre beats too Hitchman as he readies himself up. The crowd are beyond hyped, and they blow up with cheers as Better Now by Post Malone hits the PA system! Ryan Savage bursts out from the back with a big smile on his face.)

Stephie Love: From right here in Lexington, Kentucky!-

(The crowd pop for their place of residence being announced as Ryan starts slapping hands on his way down the ramp.

Stephie Love: Weighing in at 210 pounds, he is “The 10th Planet”, Ryaaaaaaaaaaan Saaaaaaaaaavaaaaaaaaage!

Stew-O: Listen to the crowd! They’re behind their hometown hero!

(Savage enters the ring and poses at the turnbuckle before looking over at Lucas, who’s covering his ears at the crowd’s reaction. The referee readys both men and rings the bell.)

DING! DING! DING!

Stew-O: And here we go! The hometown hero’s getting the love as these two try and lock up. Ryan’s trying too offer up a hand for a test of strength, but a kick to the gut by Lucas cuts him off!

Talib Bari: He’s not here too mess around! He’s still in a fighting mood after Ides of March as he throws strikes into the head of Ryan, backing him up into the corner. He’s throwing these blows, and the ref’s slackin’!

Stew-O: Ryan’s certainly held up right now, but I’m not sure Lucas is breaking any rules. He’s hitting him with left and rights too sit him down, and a foot too the throat! Nevermind! The ref’s starting a count! 1! 2! 3! 4!

Talib Bari: He lets go! That’s close, but man, Lucas is on fire. These fans can’t do anything to stop him.

(The crowd boo him heavily and he notices a sign that says “WE WANT RYAN!”. He rolls out and grabs the sign!)

Stew-O: Oh come on! Focus on the match!

Talbi Bari: He’s focusin’ on making a fool outta Ryan! He’s ripping up the poster and throwing it in the fans face! Haha!

Stew-O: You can see Ryan starting to stir up, and Lucas wisely steps up on the apron too try and get in the ring, but Ryan cuts him off with a dropkick! Lucas takes the brunt of the boot and drops too the floor, still on his feet, but Ryan quickly gets too the apron. Lucas tries to swipe his feet with a running lariat! Ryan jumps!

Talib Bari: Kid’s like a discount Spiderman! Lucas lookin’ around and stops himself from running, BUT RYAN LEAPS OFF THE APRON WITH A MISSILE DROPKICK! LUCAS GETS KICKED INTO THE KENTUCKY MUTANTS!

Stew-O: It’s instant karma! They’re pelting him with popcorn! He tumbles out and Ryan’s quick too throw him in. He slides into the ring and goes for a quick cover early on!

1!

2!

Kickout!

Talib Bari: He’s out, that popcorn did a number on ‘em! Ryan picks Lucas up on his feet and pulls him into a short arm clothesline! He goes for another pin real quick.

1!

2!

Kickout!

Stew-O: Nice offense trying to get him down, but it’ll take a bit more too take down Lucas. I gotta say, after our “Ace Off”, Lucas has been looking rocky these last few weeks.

Talib Bari: You said it. He’s gotta get his head out of those losses and focus. Ryan’s picking him up, going for another clothesline- LUCAS WITH A BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX!

Stew-O: He’s getting back into this thing as Ryan lands on his back! Look at the rage induced expression on Lucas! He picks up Ryan and hits another belly to belly! It’s brutal! He’s on his knees, breathing and thinking, before picking up Ryan, lifting him for the belly to belly, and OH NO! NECK FIRST INTO THE BOTTOM TURNBUCKLE!

Talib Bari: OUCH! Look at the way Ryan’s neck bent! He’s DONE. Count to 1000 ref! He gets the cover!

1!

2!

Th- no! Kickout!

Stew-O: Ryan kicked out! He’s holding his neck in a bad way, but Lucas pulls him in the center of the ring and applies a tight headlock. He’s wrenching on the neck like an expert. You can hear the impact cause Ryan too yell out in pain as he tries reaching for the ropes! He’s almost got it! No! Lucas rolls him over and wrenches back again!

Referee: Do you quit Savage?

Ryan Savage: No!

Talib Bari: He’s got heart! Too bad Lucas is plannin on ripping it out of his chest and munch on it! He stands up and stomps at the neck of Ryan plantin’ him down! He picks up Ryan now, hand on his throat, turns- neckbreaker! Nasty! Cover!

1!

Kickout!

(Lucas sits up in frustration and tells the ref he should’ve kept counting. He punches the mat in frustration and stands up Ryan)

Stew-O: What tenacity too kick out at one! He’s got Ryan up, but Ryan with an uppercut! Another! Another! And another! Lucas is dazed but the crowd’s pumping up Ryan too go on! He’s spinning for that discus lariat!

Talib Bari: He ducked!

Stew-O: Or did he?! Ryan’s quick too a shoot kick to the chest! A nasty slap! My word, a jumping high knee strike, another shoot kick to the chest, and a leg sweep!

Talib Bari: C-C-C-C-COMBO! He’s on fire! He’s calling up Lucas! Lucas is on his feet, and Ryan runs the ropes for a running Discus Laria-

Stew-O: LUCAS JUST CAUGHT HIM WITH THE CROSSFACE THOUGH! WHAT A REVERSAL! He’s wrenching on that exposed neck of Ryan’s! He’s gotta tap at this point!

Referee: Ryan! Do you quit?!

Ryan Savage: NO!

Talib Bari: Lucas is almost considered a master in the submission game, Ryan needs to be smart about this! He’s crawling but he’s got nowhere to go!

Stew-O: Never say never! Look at this! He rolls Lucas over! He tries to get up, but he’s holding onto his arm now. Lucas goes for a strike but Ryan ducks, kick to the leg, KNEE TO THE FACE! He falls to his side though, already exhausted and feeling the pain of this match, while Lucas is dazed and confused. Hitchman’s yelling for Lucas too wake up! The ref’s starting a count for them too stand!

1!

2!

3!

4!

5!

6!

7!

8!

9!

(They’re up!)

Talib Bari: What a match! They’re throwing bombs at one another! Lucas with strike! Ryan with an uppercut! They do this again and again! Ryan with the kick to the stomach, looking too set him up for that Powerbomb Lungblower! He lifts him up, BUT LUCAS CAUGHT THE ARM! Triangle choke! Lucas’ shoulders are both nearly on the mat, and Ryan’s about too tap! But he’s got Lucas’ shoulders on the mat!

1!

2!

No!

Stew-O: Ryan Savage’s strength is incredible! He’s lifting up Lucas instead of taking the close pin! He’s all the way up, but Lucas has the triangle still in! He’s shaking his head while Hitchman screams! FORGIVENEEEEEEEEES! HE HITS THE POWERBOMB LUNGBLOWER! Lucas is spazzing out from the impact of his back!

Talib Bari: Ryan ain’t done! He scoops him up between his legs, takes up the arms and legs, and Lucas tries fighting out! NO! Package Piledriver by Ryan! HE HOOKS THE LEG!

1!

2!

3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DING! DING! DING!

Stephie Love: Here is your winner, Ryaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan Saaaaavaaaaaaaaaaaaaage!

(Savage rests on the mat as Lucas is rolled out of the ring by Hitchman, who looks disappointed.)

Stew-O: Listen to this crowd! Congratulations to Ryan Savage on the hard earned victory. He sits up now with the help of the referee, and raises his hand too the love of the crowd.

(Suddenly, the titantron flashes up as “Hit’em High” by Wu-Tang Clan ft. Cypress Hill hits the PA speakers.)

Talib Bari: Ohhhhh my God, look at this giant! That’s Feral Khan! Dynasty’s newest signee! He’s marching down that ring and looks like he’s got no nonsense too him. He enters the ring and Ryan Savage is looking around for some type of help, but the ref’s already bounced! They’re starin’ off Stew!

Stew-O: Savage’s extending a hand and pleading that this is his moment. BUT KHAN SCOOPS HIM UP! STRONGMAN’S PLUNGE!!!! Come on! The man just had a match!

(The referee slides into the ring, but suddenly, Khan takes him by the shirt and biel throws him up and over the top rope! He looks at Savage and turns him on his face.)

Talib Bari: Oh no! He’s running the ropes! BODY PRESS ON THE INJURED NECK OF SAVAGE! THAT’S 300 SOME POUNDS! Savage is twitching!

(Multiple refs come out now and advise him to leave, and he’s already out of the ring, looking proud of himself as he steps away into the stage. Multiple refs and EMTs get into the ring and start helping Ryan as EAW Dynasty continues.)

(Backstage we see a split screen as the King of Elite Malcolm Jones is shown entering the arena on one side while on the other Jamie O’Hara is shown lacing his boots.)

Stew-O: Ladies and gentlemen, the excitement is building to a boiling point here tonight as we inch ever closer to the main event of Malcolm Jones and Jamie O’Hara!

Flannery McCoy: It’s rare indeed when you can say you were able to first hand witness what could very well end up being the match of the year! The King of Elite takes on the Ace here tonight, and I, for one, cannot wait!

(The screen goes dark as Mark Michaels is shown holding the remote.)

Mark Michaels: See what they think of us? The so-called King of Elite isn’t even part of Dynasty, what has he done to be in the main event?

(The camera pulls back to reveal he is speaking to fellow members of the Dynasty locker room: Giovanni Luciano, Ryan Wilson, and Frank Grayson are all standing before him as he continues.)

Mark Michaels: This exactly the kind of filth I’ve been talking about! This company doesn’t give a damn about people like us! All they care about is padding their bottom line and it’s time that someone done something about it!

???: And you’re that someone?

(The camera pans to show Albert Hitchman standing alongside Lucas Johnson and the newly arrived Feral Khan. The three having just made their way back from their match.)

Hitchman: What makes you think you’re the one who can do something about the way EAW treats the very people it builds its foundation on? Why you and not my client, Lucas Johnson? It seems to me he just left a very clear message to the rest of the locker room that he is not someone to take lightly…who are you?

(Mark smirks.)

Mark Michaels: I’m glad you asked, Hitchman…I can see the rotten, festering core of this company, and I see exactly how to rip the heart out of it…

(Mark spreads his arms to the group before him.)

Mark Michaels: I can’t do it alone though…

(The camera fades out as he draws the group that has gathered before him in. )

(Commercial plays for Godfather’s Pizza, featuring Giovanni Luciano.)

(The camera cuts to Stephie Love in the middle of the ring)

Stephie Love: The following is a six man tag team match and it is scheduled for…

Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!!!!!!!

(The lights dim as “Wizard in Black” by Electric Wizard hits and the lights turn on again showing Darkane on the steps.)

Stephie Love: Introducing first, from New Orleans, Louisiana, weighing in at 243 pounds…DARKANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stew-O: Here we go as the team of Darkane, Erebus Jennings, and Donovan Cross face the team of Giovanni Luciano, Frank Grayson and Bowie Gray.

Talib Bari: Darkane had a not so bad time although there was no determined winner in his match against Chris Elite and battle damaged he still stood tall after beating the crap out of those worthless pieces of shit the Task Force.

Flannery McCoy: It looks like Darkane is out here to win tonight tho and he won’t take a loss as a answer even if he’s not the one taking the pin.

(Darkane sits in his corner as “Wizard in Black” fades out and is replaced by “Indestructible” by Disturbed and Erebus Jennings make his way to the ring)

Stephie Love: Next, from Parts Unknown weighing in at 240 pounds…EREBUS…JENNINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stew-O: Erebus wasn’t doing so hot at Ides of March, he was so close to winning yet TLA had to kill him and win the match.

Talib Bari: Well if TLA did kill him then why is he here?

Flannery McCoy: He was joking Talib don’t go all Mythbusters on him.

(Erebus Jennings enters the ring as “Communion of the Cursed” by Ice Nine Kills hits as Donovan Cross comes out to “You deserved it” chants)

Stephie Love: And their partner, from Portland Oregon weighing in at 198 pounds…DONOVAN…CROSS!!!!!!!!!!!

Stew-O: He really does deserve those chants doesn’t he.

Talib Bari: Well hey that’s his problem, Donovan Cross didn’t even get to fight in his planned match as he was just an excuse for Theron Nikolas to betray DDD in the most sickening way possible.

Flannery McCoy: It happens, move on Donovan gets a chance to make things right by actually having a match, so let’s just actually appreciate that.

(“Communion of the Curse” dies out as “Hells Bells” by AC/DC hits and Giovanni Luciano comes out to a died down mixed reaction)

Stephie Love: And their opponents, first, from Hoboken New Jersey weighing in at 210 pounds…GIOVANNI…LUCIANO!

Stew-O: The pizza delivery guy came 3 hours late.

Talib Bari: Wow, Giovanni is a newcomer to EAW and the fans just don’t know what to expect out of him.

Flannery McCoy: Yeah, let’s see what this man has in store for Dynasty tonight!

(“Hells Bells” is replaced by “All My Life” by Foo Fighters and Frank Grayson comes out to deafening boos)

Stephie Love: AND HIS PARTNER, FROM CAMBRIDGE MASSACHUSETTS WEIGHING IN AT 194 POUNDS…FRANK…GRAYSON!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stew-O: You see even Stephie Love has to raise her voice when Frank Grayson comes out, this man is hated by the EAW universe and I think he likes it.

Talib Bari: Grayson has had a rough time here but has managed to pull out A win during his time here.

Flannery McCoy: Since you say that let’s see if he can pull out another one tonight!

(“All My Life” is quickly replaced by “Blood//Water” by grandson but the boos stay in fact grow louder as Bowie Gray comes out to the stage)

Stephie Love: FINALLY FROM SALEM MASSACHUSETTS WEIGHING IN AT 185 POUNDS…BOWIE…GRAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stew-O: Yikes.

Talib Bari: Bowie Gray was also on the losing side at Ides of March losing to the Aces, Cameron Ella Ava and Jamie O’Hara with his mentor Devan Dubian.

Flannery McCoy: I can still see that look of self doubt on his face, or is that his sad face, or angry face? Honestly I don’t know but expressions mean nothing in this match it just comes down to how much you want to win and I don’t think any of the competitors in this match want to lose!

(Bowie Gray meets up with Frank Grayson and Giovanni Luciano as the ref signals for the bell a few seconds later)

(DING DING DING!)

Stew-O: Alright Bowie Gray and Darkane starting this matchup. They lock up, Darkane pushing Bowie to the ropes but Bowie turns and locks Darkane into a headlock, oop Darkane slips out and throws Bowie to the ground locking in a headlock of his own. Bowie pushes away as Darkane still on the ground for a bit before getting up- GUT KICK BY BOWIE pushing Darkane into the ropes Bowie running…DARKANE WITH A FLAPJACK TO BOWIE GRAY ONTO THE ROPES! Darkane pushes Bowie into his corner, SNAKE EYES, Darkane tags in Erebus Jennings, Darkane holding Bowie, PUNCH TO THE GUT!

(“Indestructible” by Disturbed hits as Erebus gets to his feet and is joined by Darkane and Donovan Cross, after the ref raises their hands they leave the ring in a triumphant way each man kicking Bowie Gray as they pass.)

Stephie Love: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN YOUR WINNERS, THE TEAM OF DARKANE, DONOVAN CROSS…AND EREBUS JENNINGSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!

(Bowie gets up to his feet and starts yelling at the winners of the match. Donovan holds them and gets to the ring himself and starts yelling at Bowie Gray. Frank Grayson and Giovanni Luciano watch on slowly making their way to the back. Bowie shoves Donovan, but as Donovan shoves back the ref comes to separate them. The ref pushes Donovan Cross out of the ring as both men yell at each other.)

Flannery McCoy: Heated argument between Donovan Cross and Bowie Gray BUT in the end Donovan and his team won.

Stew-O: YEAH which means that Bowie Gray shouldn’t even been talking let alone trying to get into a fight.

Talib Bari: Yeah whatever, but I feel like this isn’t the end of Donovan and Bowie Gray’s interactions with each other, we’ll use have to see, but stay here as Dynasty continues.

(Backstage we see Ms. Extreme standing alongside Michael Belmont in the interview area. Ms. Extreme is dressed in street clothes, but wears the Pure title around her waist.)

Michael Belmont: Ladies and gentlemen joining me right now is the current Pure champion, Ms. Extreme, thank you for joining me here tonight…

(Ms. Extreme interrupts him.)

Ms. Extreme: Just ask smart questions this time, alright?

(Michael smiles nervously)

Michael Belfort: I’ll do my best. Over the last few weeks you’ve defended the Pure title multiple times, on FPVs and on Dynasty episodes, and in the minds of many people Dynasty has started to become the ‘Ms. Extreme’ show. What do you say to that?

(Ms Extreme smiles and pats the center plate of the Pure title.)

Ms. Extreme: I like the sound of that, and I gotta say, it’s about time that people started to recognize the fact that I am a major player here in EAW! See, don’t think I’ve not heard the whispers that I’m the weakest Ava…Consuela is a two time Specialists Champion, Cameron has been Champion and beaten Gawd himself, and what has Ms. Extreme done…? I’ve only put this title on the line night in and night out against anyone anywhere. This week I’m representing Dynasty on Showdown, taking on TLA, and who knows what’s in store next week? All I know is I’ll be ready, no matter who it is.

Michael Belmont: Quite the statement! With the ongoing defense of the Pure title, do you think the name ‘Ms. Extreme’ is still appropriate?

(Ms. Extreme gives Michael an annoyed look.)

Ms. Extreme: What should my name be, Mike? You know what, nevermind I asked, I’ll tell you! I’m the New Face of Dynasty! I’m the Red Queen, and yes, I’m Ms. Extreme, because no matter what, I’m always going to take things to the limit, I’m going to defend this title against any and all comers, and I’m going to become the greatest Pure champion in EAW history! I’m taking this belt into Pai –

(She stops short as Donovan Cross enters the shot. Michael Belfort repositions himself to allow Donovan to speak.)

Donovan Cross: You’re the face of Dynasty? When did you face off against Theron? When have you struck so much fear into the black heart of DEDEDE himself that he put you in a match against his hand chosen God Emperor just to appease you? You think that just because you carry around a title with a set of rules that run contrary to how everyone else works, a title that has had so many identity changes in just this past season that it may as well have a velcro front plate, you think that makes you the face of the brand? Yeah, okay ‘Red Queen’, if you say so…

(Ms. Extreme works her jaw in anger and steps face to face with Donovan.)

Ms. Extreme: You talk big for a guy who just had his ass kicked by two women…keep it up and it’s going to be three. Why don’t you get out of here and focus on Amber…or should I just do her job for her?

(Donovan gives Ms. Extreme a long look before smirking and walking off camera. Ms. Extreme watches his as the camera fades to black.)

(“Pray For Em” — Meek Mil plays through the speakers as the crowd gives Malcolm Jones a pretty good pop as Malcolm Jones comes out from the curtain in his black bomber jacket, black sunglasses and gold chains. Malcolm looks around the Dynasty crowd as he is nodding his head. He looks quite serious about this match. He knows the seriousness of this match. He knows that Jamie O’Hara is someone, who he needs to take seriously.)

Stephie Love: The following match is a Dynasty Invitational Match and it’s scheduled for ONE FALL —

Crowd: ONE FALL!!

Stephie Love: Introducing first, representing Showdown, from Harlem, New York, weighing in 230 pounds, he is the 2019 King of Elite, MAAAALLLLLLLCCCOOOOOOOLLLLLLMMMMMMM JOOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEESSSSSS!!

Talib Bari: Do not adjust your television sets, you are in the presence of the 2019 King of Elite, Malcolm Jones, who has been traded to Dynasty for this week only as part of the EAW Invitationals, which you have been seeing on the other brands. For Malcolm Jones, we had to trade the PURE Champion, Ms. Extreme, who will be facing Openweight Champion, TLA on Showdown tomorrow night! You’re welcome, Showdown for promoting your show! Malcolm Jones is one of the fastest risings stars in EAW at the moment! He’s a former Interwire Champion! He’s main evented Pain for Pride! He’s King of Elite! Taking Ls is something he is not quite familiar with! But tonight, he is planning to get a W going up against “The Ace” himself, Jamie O’Hara!

Flannery McCoy: To me, there has been something that has always rubbed me the wrong way about Malcolm Jones! It may be his attitude and I know, I’m not the only one alone in that statement, but when you’ve accomplished as much as Malcolm Jones, I would be the same way as well! This man delivers every time he enters a ring! However, he suffered a defeat at Under Siege against Drake King when The Revolution and Jax Walker got themselves involved in the match and costed Malcolm the Interwire Championship! Thus the stipulation, Malcolm is out of the Grand Rampage match this year!

Stew-O: That must have been a huge blow to Malcolm Jones, but he still is King of Elite, which guarantees him a shot at a World Championship at a location of his choice! He will have other ways to get to the Pain for Pride stage. For tonight, a victory over Jamie O’Hara will be an excellent way to step up and look towards the future!

(Malcolm Jones is already seen inside the ring as he is waiting for Jamie O’Hara to come out. “Ultimate Battle” — ZENTA replaces “Pray For Em” as Jamie O’Hara comes out in his black leather jacket. The crowd is erupting on their feet at Jamie’s presence as he pops his collar back before having his sights at Malcolm Jones in the ring.)

Stephie Love: Introducing his opponent, from Melbourne, Australia, weighing in 190 pounds, he is “The Ace of Elite Answers Wrestling”, JAAAAAAAAMMMMMMIIIIIIEEEEEEE OOOOOOOO’HHHHAAARRRRAAAAAAA!!

Talib Bari: Jamie O’Hara for the past few weeks has inserted himself in The Ava Sisters’ situation with Devan Dubian and Bowie Gray, but at Ides of March, it seems like him and Cameron Ella Ava have gotten rid of the problem! Now, it seems like Jamie O’Hara is setting his sights on the Grand Rampage Match! The event is in Melbourne! I wouldn’t see why not Jamie could be a favorite going into this match! Just like at Grand Rampage, Jamie seems to have a home court advantage since this is his brand! This is a brand that he has helped carry ever since his return! He is not going to let Malcolm Jones go to his turf and cause him a defeat!

Flannery McCoy: Not sure if it’s just me, but ever since Jamie O’Hara’s return, he hasn’t been pushed enough! The only time where it seems like he has been pushed as at King of Elite against Theron Nikolas, but he strikes me as someone who is competitive as hell! Jamie wants to be pushed! He wants to be on the edge of his seat! He is hoping that Malcolm Jones does that! From their war of words this week, I can sense that this may be the best performance that Jamie has put on since King of Elite!

Stew-O: We are going to need to see Jamie O’Hara be “The Ace” we all know him as! The one who carried Voltage on his back for eleven months as World Heavyweight Champion! The one, who was more than cause the downfall of men like Lars Grier. The one who almost drove TLA to leave EAW for a time being. The cunt who retired Dark Demon! We are going to need to see that Jamie O’Hara come out in this match!

(Ding! Ding! Ding!)

Talib Bari: This main event is underway, ladies and gentleman! “The Ace” Jamie O’Hara takes on the King of Elite, Malcolm Jones! These two men have never faced each other in a one-on-one situation! These two barely have crossed paths despite a year ago on Voltage, where Malcolm faced Jamie in tag team action. Malcolm’s team was victorious, but Malcolm seems quite determined to get a victory over Jamie and prove that he can defeat the so-called best on the Dynasty brand! Both men are confident in their own ways. In a way, people take Malcolm’s confidence as cockiness, but Malcolm is good, Flann and Stew! He’s had an excellent first year. Managed to main event Pain for Pride, win the Interwire Championship and win King of Elite. For Jamie’s New Breed Championship reign, Malcolm was able to win the Interwire Championship. For Jamie’s Cash in the Vault win, Malcolm was able to win King of Elite. Malcolm has been underneath the main event spotlight at Pain for Pride. Jamie has yet to had an idea what that feels like. However, Jamie is no slouch either. He’s the longest reigning New Breed Champion and World Heavyweight Champion in EAW History! He’s brought fan favorites like TLA and Chris Elite down to their knees! He’s retired Elitists! This is one intimidating cunt!

(Jamie O’Hara and Malcolm Jones meet each other at the middle of the ring. Neither men is intimidated of the other. Both men are prepared to put on a stellar performance. Jamie and Malcolm look around the Dynasty crowd, who are more than excited to see these men clash. The two men have an exchange of words. Neither men looked phased each other’s responses.)

Flannery McCoy: Jamie O’Hara and Malcolm Jones go for the collar-and-elbow tie up! Malcolm seems to be getting the upper hand on the collar-and-elbow tie up as he manages to back up Jamie against the ropes! Before the official can get himself involve and go for the count, Malcolm takes stops what he is doing as he playfully slaps the side of Jamie’s face before backing away slowly and casually! Malcolm has his hands up where the official can see them as Jamie is trying to adjust to the situation! Malcolm can sometimes do these things in order to play some mind games with his opponents, but Jamie has been known for doing the same thing as well! Jamie gets himself up to a vertical base once again as him and Malcolm go for another collar-and-elbow tie up, but Jamie manages to break free of the hold before wrapping his arms around Malcolm’s waist! It seems like Jamie is trying to lift Malcolm up for a deadlift German suplex, but Malcolm has his feet planted firmly on the ground! Malcolm begins to strike Jamie with a few elbows as Jamie releases the hold right a way! Malcolm turns himself around — Jamie connects with a superkick, but Malcolm manages to duck himself to the side! Jamie stumbles forward, but is able to catch himself from falling! Instead, Jamie falls back against the ropes in the most gentle way possible! Jamie rebounds from the ropes as Malcolm goes for the dropkick, but Malcolm ends up falling down due to Jamie still holding himself against the ropes!

(Jamie O’Hara is leaning back against the ropes with a slight chuckle escaping from his lips. Malcolm Jones seems to have a much more serious look on his face; however, he nods his head as he gets back to his feet. He is refusing to be outshone. There is no one that outshines Malcolm Jones.)

Stew-O: The two wrestlers in this match have had their fun with playing their mind games at each other! JAMIE O’HARA AND MALCOLM JONES MEET EACH OTHER AT THE MIDDLE OF THE RING AGAIN, BUT MALCOLM DELIVERS AN AGGRESSIVE SHOVE TO JAMIE, BUT JAMIE DELIVERS A BACK KICK AS HE FOLLOWS THAT UP WITH AN UPPERCUT THAT MAKES MALCOLM FALL BACK, BUT JAMIE MANAGES TO GET MALCOLM IN POSITION BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A SAITO SUPLEX! JAMIE GETS BACK TO A VERTICAL BASE AS MALCOLM GETS HIMSELF BACK TO HIS FEET SOON AFTER! MALCOLM GOES RIGHT AFTER JAMIE WITH A CLOTHESLINE, BUT THAT DOES NOT HAPPEN AS JAMIE MANAGES TO CONNECT WITH A SLINGSHOT INSTEAD! The former Interwire Champion is on his back as Jamie goes for a double foot stomp as he steps on Malcolm’s stomach before jumping off of it with such an ease! Malcolm sits himself up as Jamie follows that up with a superkick as Malcolm drops to the mat! Jamie goes for the cover! We could be ending things soon here, guys!

OOOOOOOONE!!

Talib Bari: This match still lives! Malcolm Jones manages to kick out quickly! But, Jamie O’Hara begins to apply a headlock as he gets himself up before applying a headlock on Malcolm! Jamie wrenches in the headlock as Malcolm is now looking for a way to push Jamie to the side and break free of the headlock, but Jamie seems to have a good hold on Malcolm for the time being! But, Malcolm proves us wrong by pushing Jamie to the side! Malcolm gets back to a vertical base! THE FORMER WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION FALLS BACK AGAINST THE ROPES BEFORE REBOUNDING OFF OF THEM AS IT LOOKS LIKE HE IS GOING TO GO FOR A CLOTHESLINE ON MALCOLM, BUT MALCOLM DROPS TO A PLANK POSITION AS JAMIE JUMPS OVER HIM! JAMIE REBOUNDS OFF THE OTHER ROPES, BUT MALCOLM CONNECTS WITH A LEAPFROG OVER JAMIE’S HEAD AS JAMIE GOES CRASHING ONTO THE OTHER ROPES BEFORE REBOUNDING OFF OF THEM, BUT MALCOLM MANAGES TO GET JAMIE BY HIS ARM AND CONNECT WITH AN ARM DRAG THAT TAKES “THE ACE” DOWN! Malcolm has a standing arm bar on Jamie as he is taunting the Dynasty crowd as he has a huge grin on his face! The crowd is not responding to that quite nicely! It seems like Jamie is trying to turn himself around and counter this standing arm bar! Jamie manages to do so as he counters with an arm drag as he manages to flip Malcolm Jones over! Malcolm manages to roll himself onto one knee as Jamie O’Hara gets to one knee as well has he holds onto his left arm, which Malcolm was putting pressure on for the standing arm bar! It seems like that left arm of Jamie is going to be giving him some problems throughout the match!

Flannery McCoy: Malcolm Jones goes right after Jamie O’Hara with a dropkick to Jamie’s left arm as the former World Heavyweight Champion growls in pain! Jamie finds himself in a seated position as it seems like Malcolm is going to target that potentially injured left arm for the time being! MALCOLM FOLLOWS THAT WITH A FLYING FOREARM TO A SEATED JAMIE AS THAT KNOCKS HIM DOWN TO HIS BACK! MALCOLM STAYS ON THE OFFENSE AS HE PROCEED TO THROW SOME STIFF PUNCHES AROUND JAMIE’S FACE! JAMIE IS TRYING HIS BEST TO AVOID THE PUNCHES, BUT MALCOLM IS MANAGING TO GET EACH SHOT IN WITH NO PROBLEM AT ALL! MALCOLM BACKS HIMSELF UP AS HE IS STALKING JAMIE BACK TO HIS FEET, BUT BEFORE JAMIE CAN COMPLETELY GET BACK TO HIS FEET, MALCOLM RUNS AT JAMIE AND CONNECTS WITH A SPINNING NECKBREAKER AS THAT TAKES JAMIE TO THE MAT AGAIN! JAMIE IS HOLDING HIS NECK AS MALCOLM GOES FOR THE COVER RIGHT THERE!

OOOOOOOOONE!!

Stew-O: Jamie O’Hara kicks out at one! Jamie is not planning to throw in the towel so soon into this match as well! Malcolm Jones gets Jamie in position for a chinlock! Malcolm is doing his best to apply pressure on the hold as he wrenches Jamie’s chin upwards! Malcolm is doing his best to wear down Jamie! Anything that he can do to weaken Jamie would work to his advantage! The crowd is beginning to encourage Jamie to muster up the energy and make a comeback in this match! In some sort of way, the crowd’s encouragement seems to be working as Jamie is shaky, but he is somehow trying to make it back to his feet! Malcolm feels like his grasps is slipping as Jamie manages to break himself free from the chinlock! JAMIE IS BACK ON HIS FEET AS HE BEGINS TO ELBOW MALCOLM JONES IN HIS RIBS! JAMIE ELBOWS MALCOLM A FEW TIMES BEFORE MALCOLM COMPLETELY BREAKS OUT OF THE HOLD! JAMIE ELBOWS MALCOLM ONCE MORE IN THE FACE BEFORE RACING TO THE ROPES AND BOUNCING OFF OF THEM BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A FLYING FOREARM THAT STAGGERS MALCOLM BACK A BIT! MALCOLM TRIES TO GO FOR A FOREARM STRAIGHT FOR JAMIE IS ABLE TO SEE THAT COMING FROM A MILE AWAY BEFORE DUCKING THE FOREARM! MALCOLM RUSHES PAST JAIME BEFORE STOPPING HIMSELF, BUT JAMIE CONNECTS WITH A BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE TO THE BACK OF MALCOLM’S HEAD, WHICH BRINGS THE KING OF ELITE TO HIS KNEES! JAMIE RUNS OVER TO THE ROPES IN FRONT OF MALCOLM BEFORE FOLLOWING UP THAT KNEE STRIKE WITH A RUNNING BASEMENT DROPKICK TO MALCOLM AS HE FALLS TO HIS BACK!

Talib Bari: Jamie O’Hara gets Malcolm Jones by his legs! It seems like we’re going to see Jamie apply the Texas Cloverleaf! Malcolm is trying to kick Jamie away from him, but Jamie gets Malcolm by his legs and begins to stomp on Malcolm’s skull before attempting to apply the Texas Cloverleaf again! JAMIE SEEMS TO BE STRUGGLING TO LOCK IN THE MOVE, BUT HE SOMEHOW HAS MALCOLM IN THE TEXAS CLOVERLEAF! THE LOOK ON MALCOLM JONES’ FACE TELLS THE ENTIRE STORY! HE IS IN PAIN! HOWEVER, HE DOES NOT WANT TO QUIT THIS MATCH ANYTIME SOON! IF YOU THINK FOR A SECOND THAT MALCOLM IS GOING TO TAP OUT, YOU ARE SADLY MISTAKEN! THIS GUY HAS FACED SOME OF THE BEST IN THE ROSTER! HE HAS TAKEN HALL OF FAMERS TO THEIR LIMITS! MALCOLM HAS SOMETHING TO PROVE GOING UP AGAINST JAMIE! HE NEEDS TO PROVE THAT HE IS BETTER THAN JAMIE O’HARA AND A VICTORY OVER HIM WOULD BE A GOOD ARGUMENT FOR THAT STATEMENT! MALCOLM IS TRYING TO REACH FOR THE BOTTOM ROPE! HOWEVER, THAT BOTTOM ROPE SEEMS SO FAR AWAY! MALCOLM BEGINS TO DRAG HIMSELF CLOSER TO THAT BOTTOM ROPE! HE IS NOT GOING TO GIVE UP THIS MATCH WITHOUT A FIGHT! MALCOLM IS GOING TO FIND SOME WAY TO SURVIVE AND WIN THIS MATCH! MALCOLM IS INCHING CLOSER TO THE BOTTOM ROPE! HE IS ALMOST FINGERTIPS AWAY BEFORE HE FULLY GRASPS ONTO THE BOTTOM ROPE! JAMIE MUST BREAK THE HOLD!

Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE!

Flannery McCoy: Jamie O’Hara breaks the submission hold at the count of five! He distances himself from Malcolm Jones, who rolls underneath the bottom rope to give him some time to recover! It seems like Malcolm is trying to strategize and plot his next move! Malcolm steps down from the apron and begins to get some feeling back to his legs! By the way Jamie is looking at Malcolm, it seems like he is not going to give the King of Elite any time to breathe! Jamie runs towards the ropes and connects with a topè con hilo to Malcolm Jones on the outside!

Stew-O: NOPE! MALCOLM JONES MANAGES TO CATCH JAMIE O’HARA FROM MID-AIR AND CONNECT WITH A POWERBOMB TO JAMIE ON THE EDGE OF THE APRON! “THE ACE” CRASHES DOWN! MALCOLM IS TAPPING THE SIDE OF HIS HEAD WITH HIS FINGER, ALMOST LIKE HE KNEW THAT JAMIE WAS GOING TO PULL SOMETHING LIKE THAT! MALCOLM WAS NOT GOING TO BE FOOLED BY JAMIE! MALCOLM SEES THAT JAMIE IS FLAT ON HIS BACK! JAMIE IS NOT MOVING AS MALCOLM CONNECTS WITH A STANDING SHOOTING STAR PRESS ON JAMIE AT RING SIDE! WHAT A BEAUTIFUL STANDING SHOOTING STAR PRESS BY MALCOLM JONES! Malcolm gets Jamie by his left arm, which he caused a bit of an injury with earlier in the match and delivers whips him against the barricade! Jamie’s back collides with the barricade as he yells in pain! BUT, MALCOLM IS NOT GOING TO GIVE JAMIE A SECOND TO RECOVER AS MALCOLM GOES RIGHT AFTER JAMIE WITH A BIG BOOT TO JAMIE’S FACE AS THAT ALMOST SENDS HIM OVER TO THE CROWD, BUT MALCOLM MANAGES TO CATCH HIM AND SLAM HIM BACK TO RINGSIDE! MALCOLM TAKES A FEW STEPS BACK BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A LOW DROPKICK AS THE BACK OF JAMIE’S HEAD GOES COLLIDING AGAINST THE BARRICADE! MALCOLM HAS HIS ARMS UP AT CONFIDENCE AS HE IS EMBRACING THE NEGATIVE RECEPTION FROM THE CROWD!

Talib Bari: THEY’RE NOTHING, BUT DICKEATERS! MALCOLM JONES COULDN’T CARE LESS ABOUT THE CROWD’S RECEPTION OF HIM! HE IS SHOWING TO JAMIE O’HARA THAT HE’S LOOKING TO GET RID OF THAT LAST PERSON OF THE OLD ERA! MALCOLM GETS JAMIE IN BEFORE GETTING HIM IN POSITION BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A SNAP SUPLEX! THE FORMER WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION IS ON HIS BACK AS MALCOLM GETS JAMIE BY HIS HEAD AGAIN BEFORE BRING HIM BACK INTO THE RING! HE GESTURES FOR “THE ACE” TO GET BACK TO HIS FEET AS MALCOLM SLOWLY BACKS AWAY TO THE CORNER! MALCOLM MAY BE PLAYING ODE TO THE MAN, WHO BROUGHT HIM INTO THIS BUSINESS, THE CHAIRMAN OF EAW, MR. DEDEDE! THE SAME MAN, WHO MADE JAMIE’S WIFE’S FAMILY A LIVING HELL FOR ABOUT SIX MONTHS! MALCOLM IS MORE THAN READY TO HIT THIS SPEAR! JAMIE O’HARA MAKES IT UP TO HIS FEET BEFORE HE TURNS HIMSELF AROUND BEFORE BEING CUT IN HALF WITH MALCOLM’S VERSION OF THE SPEAR CALLED C-NOTE! MALCOLM HOOKS JAMIE’S LEG! THIS COULD BE IT, GUYS!

OOOOOOOOONE!! TWOOOOOOOOOOO!!

Flannery McCoy: Jamie O’Hara kicks out! Malcolm Jones begins to get his elbows and bash the top of Jamie’s head with them! Malcolm is trying not to get too frustrated, but if this match progresses, we may be seeing more of that aggression come into play! Malcolm gets Jamie by his arm before delivering a Water Whip! The Irish whip into the turnbuckle before Malcolm follows that up with a knee to Jamie! Jamie stumbles, but manages to find a way to stand up! MALCOLM GETS ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE BEFORE THROWING PUNCHES TO THE TOP OF JAMIE’S HEAD! THESE PUNCHES ARE EVENTUALLY ABLE TO WEAKEN JAMIE A BIT BEFORE GETTING HIMSELF IN POSITION BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A FRANKENSTEINER! JAMIE GOES FALLING ONTO HIS BACK AS THE CROWD IS UP ON THEIR FEET FROM THAT MOVE! Malcolm gets Jamie back on his feet before getting him in position! It looks like we’re going to see Malcolm connect with the Buck 50 — Tornado Facebuster! But, before Malcolm can turn himself around to complete the move, Jamie throws Malcolm outside the ring, but no! Malcolm is able to catch himself up on the apron as Jamie goes to get Malcolm, but Malcolm connects with a forearm on Jamie before pulling Jamie in between the ropes, so that he is on the apron as well! Malcolm Jones throws a forearm at Jamie! Jamie throws a forearm at Malcolm! Malcolm throws a forearm at Jamie! Jamie throws a forearm at Malcolm! Malcolm! Jamie! Malcolm! Jamie! Malcolm! Malcolm tries to swing at Jamie with another punch; however, Jamie manages to stops Malcolm from connecting with that punch by holding his fist before connecting with a headbutt that knocks Malcolm to his knees! Jamie goes onto Malcolm —

Stew-O: — DESTINATION FUCKED! THAT TRIANGLE CANADIAN DESTROYER ON MALCOLM JONES ON THE APRON! MALCOLM LANDS ON HIS NECK AWKWARDLY FROM THAT MOVE! JAMIE O’HARA GETS BACK INSIDE THE RING BEFORE DRAGGING MALCOLM JONES ALONG WITH HIM! JAMIE SETS UP MALCOLM A FEW INCHES AWAY FROM THE TOP TURNBUCKLE AS JAMIE POINTS TO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE AS THAT SEEMS TO GAIN THE APPROVAL OF THE CROWD! JAMIE APPROACHES THE TOP ROPE BEFORE GETTING ON TOP OF IT AND SITUATING HIMSELF ON IT! HE SEES THAT MALCOLM IS ON HIS BACK! HE IS NOT MOVING WHATSOEVER AS JAMIE GOES OFF THE TOP ROPE! GENKAI CANNON ON MALCOLM JONES!

Talib Bari: NO! Malcolm Jones manages to roll himself out of the way, but Jamie O’Hara manages to catch himself! Jamie turns himself around as Malcolm connects with a Buck 50 on Jamie! That has to be it, Flann and Stew! WAIT! THERE IS SOME KIND OF COMMOTION IN THE CROWD!

(The crowd start booing as Mark Michaels makes his way down the rows of seats toward the ring. Following him closely behind is Ryan Wilson and the Family, and Lucas Johnson alongside Feral Khan. The referee is trying to warn them off as then jump the barricade and slide into the ring.)

Flannery McCoy: What are they doing here?! They’re going to ruin this match! NO!

(The group immediately start putting the boots to both Jones and O’Hara.)

Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Flannery McCoy: The crowd is certainly not happy with this! They expected to see a conclusion to what had been a great match! The official has no option, he’s calling for the bell!

(DING DING DING!)

Stew-O: This is going to be a no contest, and it’s a damn shame, Mark Michaels has ruined this main event here tonight! Michaels is trying to direct traffic as Ryan and his Family go after Malcolm Jones! In the meantime Johnson and Khan pull Jamie to his feet…NO! Malcolm Jones escapes the Family…C-NOTE! He lands the spear on Ryan Wilson! Jamie is fighting back too! IN EXCELSIS! The bicycle knee right to the face of Johnson!

Talib Bari: The Family are closing in on MJ! HE ROLLS BETWEEN THEM! BACK TO HIS FEET…C-NOTE TO KHAN! The big man is floored as the King and the Ace stand face to face with the Family! They’re rolling out of the ring, they don’t want none! It looks like Lucas and Khan are doing the same leaving Mark Michaels alone in the ring with the two superstars. This man orchestrated this failed assault that has ruined one of the biggest matches of the year!

Flannery McCoy: Mark is trying to escape! He doesn’t see that Jamie is behind him…IN EXCELSIS! Mark was shook! HERE COMES THE KING! L-TRAIN! Michaels has been flattened by the front flip piledriver from the King of the Elite! Ladies and gentlemen, it’s been a wild night, but we’re absolutely strapped for time! Thank you for joining us this week, for Stew-O and Talib Bari, I’m Flannery McCoy, good night!

(As Jamie and Malcolm fire up the crowd the EAW logo appears on screen and the camera fades out.)

(EAW logo buzzes.)
