John Helms
(EAW intro plays.)
(The scene fades to the outside structure of Kaseya Center in Miami, Florida. We see the endless line of EAW fans, who begin to cheer and scream out of their minds at the sight of the cameras. It pans to EAW fans getting their tickets analyzed and metal detected by security guards before being let inside the arena. Then, it pans to the inside of the Kaseya Center, where EAW fans are slowly trickling in, finding their seats in various parts of the arena. It goes to cameramen, trying to set up their cameras, the audio crew, trying to test the speakers and various EAW Elitists stretching, talking to friends and family, feeling hyped and focused about the event.)
(Then, it pans back outside where the Dynasty commentating booth – Stew-O, Flannery McCoy and Jake Mercer are standing up, looking at the camera.)
Jake Mercer: EAW Universe, welcome to the EAW Fighting Spirit Kickoff Show. I am Jake Mercer, alongside the beautiful Flannery McCoy and the second-most knowledgable commentator here, the legendary, Stew-O!
Stew-O: Only you can add a back-handed compliment with these introductions, Jake! But, as you can see behind me, EAW fans are slowly trickling into the Kaseya Center in beautiful Miami, Florida!
Flannery McCoy: We’re expecting about 20,000 fans to be in attendance today for Fighting Spirit! We sold the last bit of tickets earlier this week! We are seeing some early birds coming into the arena for what is going to be a superb show! And, some of the early birds happen to be our Showdown commentators! So, let’s head to Deadprez, Gavin Kirkland and Eve!
(We go from the Dynasty commentators to the Showdown brand where Eve, Deadprez and Gavin Kirkland stood up. Eve is chatting with a member of the audio team, trying to test out her headset while Deadprez looks at the script for Fighting Spirit before looking towards the camera. Meanwhile, Gavin is sipping out of a metal can, before looking at the camera and quickly placing it back in the inside of his blazer.)
Gavin Kirkland: Thank you for that introduction, Flann! I am absolutely hyped for Fighting Spirit! This is the last show before the ‘Showcase of Immortals,’ Pain for Pride 16 but don’t think that the EAW Elitists have a break tonight. We are going to be settling differences and seeing championship matches! All four World Championships are on the line – EAW, World, Answers and Universal Championships as well as some of our finest workhorse championships – the Specialists, National Elite and Interwire Championship!
Eve: And, testing, testing, one, two three! Yes, I’m on. :whew: You are absolutely right, Gavin! We got seven championships on the line today! But, we also got a ‘Last Woman Standing’ match with huge implications with Ms. Extreme and Pandora Paisley! We have a Cash in the Vault qualifying match between four amazing and talented Elitists – Alex Myers, Roberto De La Rosa, Hans Grayson and Jack Ripley! Not only that, but we’re going to see some of the Voltage brand’s brightest stars vying for ‘Ultimate Opportunity’ ladder match as TWO Elitists will walk away with a spot in this year’s Cash in the Vault ladder match!
Deadprez: Not only that, but we have some of your favorite Elitists sprinkled here and there throughout this show, but you won’t know unless you check out Fighting Spirit for yourself. 😉 But, if you want to know more about that, let’s head to the Voltage team with James Peters, Rich Russillo, Persephone Tsitsipas and EAW Hall of Famer, Rex McAllister!
(We go from the Showdown commentating team to Voltage’s foursome – James Peters, Rich Russillo, Persephone Tsitsipas and Rex McAllister. Persephone is trying to fix Rex’s tie, but Rex tries to keep her at arms length. Meanwhile, we have James and Rich going over some details for the show as all four of them look at the camera, looking all professional and proper.)
James Peters: Can’t you believe that we’re SIX weeks away from Pain for Pride 16?
Rich Russillo: Where has this season gone?
Persephone: I was asking myself the same thing, Rich! This season has been like no other with the Disney affiliation, but I think that Rex has made things better, if I do say so myself! 😌
Rex McAllister: I appreciate hearing that, Persephone! It’s been two weeks since I joined all of you guys at the booth and I can’t help, but feel excited about everything going on! We got such a great show! Limmy Monaghan versus Joso, Jake Smith versus Donovan Duke, Myles versus Drake King, Dr. Bethany Blue versus ARIA! This is just SOME of the matches to look forward to! We even got two wonderful matches for our kickoff today!
James Peters: Rex, as someone who has competed in this company for about a decade, can you give us any insight on what’s on the mind of these Elitists?
Rex McAllister: This is the one final hurdle before Nashville, James. The champions walking into the match are under some pressure to make sure that they walk into Pain for Pride with the gold on their shoulder. But, no one can perform under pressure like our EAW Elitists! There is so much Pain for Pride implications with not only the championship matches, but Cash in the Vault qualifying matches. Even for someone as tough and brooding as Ms. Extreme, who put her moniker on the line for a chance to face Showdown General Manager, Kennedy Street at Pain for Pride. Everyone wants to find themselves on the card. Last year, we had over twenty Pain for Pride matches, stretching out to three nights, so it should be interesting to see how things pan out within the next six weeks.

Stephie Love: The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!
Stephie Love: And it is for… THE ELITE ANSWERS WRESTLING; INTERWIREEE CHAMPIONSHIPP!!!!!!!!!
Crowd: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
(‘Prices’ by Lil Uzi Vert would hit the speakers of the arena to a pouring down of boos, as the challenger; Ruler would make his eerie and slow presence known, appearing on the stage. He begins to walk down the stage, looking focused tonight.)
Stephie Love: INTRODUCING FIRST; THE CHALLENGER! RESIDING IN THE RESERVED IN BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS, WEIGHING IN AT 220 POUNDS, HE CALLS HIMSELF THE ‘REVOLUTIONIZER!!!!” RUUUUUUUUULLLLLLLLEEEEERRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: Ruler made his first appearance since Grand Rampage a couple of weeks ago just last week, and he did it in the best way possible, when he showed up after PJ Hendrx had successfully defended the Interwire Championship against Keogo Leoso, kicking his head damn near off his body.
Flannery McCoy: We all know just how much Ruler craves to hold championship gold here in EAW. We have seen that based on his driven desire for the New Breed Championship just a couple of months ago throughout his reign, and we might see it again tonight.
Jake Mercer: But remember guys, he also has a Cash In The Vault qualifying match to focus on within the upcoming weeks, and I have to wonder if that is going to be what plays a factor into this championship match tonight. But, it looks like we are going to have to wait and see.
(Ruler would enter into the ring, as his theme fades out from there. The lights turn back on, as Ruler stays seated in his corner, waiting for the champion to make his arrival into this match tonight.)
(From there, ‘DNA’ by Kendrick Lamar would replace ‘Prices,’ to an explosion of cheers, as out walked the current Interwire Champion himself; PJ Hendrx. He looks confident in his chances of retaining here tonight, as he takes in the reaction that he was given, before he starts making his way down the ramp.)
Stephie Love: AND HIS OPPONENT!!! FROM CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA, WEIGHING IN AT 195 POUNDS, HE’S THE CURRENT EAW INTERWIRE CHAMPION!!!! HE IS ‘PHANTOM!!!!’ PPPPPPJJJJJJJJJJJJ HEENNNNNNDDDDDRRRRRRRRRXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: Ever since dethroning Amir Yusuf for the Interwire Championship the week before Operation: Doomsday on Dynasty, PJ Hendrx has proved himself to be a very impressive champion, being able to successfully defend against first Jay Jerry Johnson, and then Keogo Leoso just last week, and now defending it once again against a man who he knows very, very well.
Flannery McCoy: This match is sure to be interesting, and there is no doubt about that. And don’t forget that the man who he defended the championship against at Grand Rampage, Jay Jerry Johnson, is also looking to get his get back very soon, and he may be having a very close eye on this match here tonight, and I can’t blame him for that fact if he is in fact watching closely here tonight.
(PJ Hendrx would enter into the ring, unlatching the Interwire Championship from around his waist as he would hand it off to the referee, before backing into his corner, with his theme fading out from there. The referee holds the championship up high into the air, before handing it off to the timekeeper, and calling for the bell to sound for this match to start.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: AND THIS MATCH IS UNDERWAY!! The Interwire Championship is on the line here tonight as both PJ Hendrx and Ruler aren’t going to waste any time, both pacing around before meeting into the center of the ring and locking up! Ruler quickly looks to gain the advantage over PJ as he goes around his waist, looking to throw him with a takedown, but PJ is able to get himself out of this and he is able to grab Ruler by the wrist, twisting around and he looks to go for a knee strike to the gut.
Flannery McCoy: But Ruler quickly side steps it, before grabbing PJ and pulling him over into a side headlock, only for PJ to quickly slip out of it! PJ quickly runs off the ropes, but Ruler leapfrogs over him, forcing PJ to run off of the opposite side of the ropes, AND RULER DROPS HIM WITH A MASSIVE SHOULDER BLOCK! PJ goes down into the match hard! Ruler quickly grabs Hendrx backup to his feet by the hair, before throwing him into the corner, AND RULER CATCHES HIM WITH A CORNER CLOTHESLINE, AND THE CHAMPION IS IN TROUBLE RIGHT NOW!
Jake Mercer: PJ Hendrx slowly stumbles out of the corner, as Ruler backs away from him and PJ tries to swing in, only for Ruler to catch him, THROWING HIM BACK DOWN TO THE MAT WITH A SCOOP SLAM! PJ goes hard into the mat once again, as the challenger seemingly has the early control over the current champion, and Ruler slips over into the cover!
Referee: OOONNNEEE!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: BUT THE INTERWIRE CHAMPION KICKS OUT! But that isn’t going to stop the attacks from Ruler, as he quickly slips back on top of Hendrx, before pulling him over into a grounded side headlock, wrenching it in back back tightly! PJ needs to fight back from this, as he hasn’t had the best of starts in this match, but it looks like he is going to find a way to do exactly that, as the crowd is starting to cheer him on, and PJ is slowly getting himself back to his feet despite Ruler’s efforts to keep him down!
Flannery McCoy: ONLY FOR RULER TO GRAB HIM BY THE HEAD, SLAMMING HIM RIGHT BACK DOWN INTO THE MAT! The impact of that props Hendrx right back up to his feet only for Ruler to take a run off of the ropes, and he sends PJ right back down flat to the mat with a boot right to the face! The Interwire Champion is once again taken right back down by the challenger, as Ruler quickly slides back into yet another cover on the challenger, hoping to get the victory once more, are we going to see a new champion?
Referee: OOONNNEEE!!!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: PJ Hendrx once again is able to kickout before even the count of two, and now you can tell that Ruler is starting to maybe even grow a bit frustrated right now. You can tell just how much this match means to Ruler, but you can also tell just how much it means to PJ Hendrx as well, and PJ is going to do whatever it possibly takes just to be able to walk out of Fighting Spirit as still the Interwire Champion.
Stew-O: But Ruler quickly gets back up to his feet, kicking PJ right into the face and you can tell he’s just saying to PJ to stay down, and PJ has to take this punishment. He has to take this punishment and more, and survive it all to retain the championship, and I think that is exactly what he is going to do as he still is getting back up to his feet despite what Ruler is saying to him.
Flannery McCoy: Ruler quickly grabs PJ by the wrist, locking it and irish whipping him into the ropes, and PJ rebounds off of them BEFORE CATCHING RULER WITH A DROPKICK! PJ CATCHES RULER WITH A DROPKICK OUT OF NOWHERE FORCING RULER TO STUMBLE BACKWARDS! Hendrx quickly scrambles backup to his feet, quickly running the ropes once again as Ruler tries to catch him, BUT PJ LEAPS INTO THE AIR AND HE FALLS RIGHT ON TOP OF RULER WITH A STANDING CROSSBODY, AND IN AN INSTANT; IT WAS PJ HENDRX WHO WAS GETTING HIMSELF RIGHT BACK INTO THIS INTERWIRE CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH!
Jake Mercer: AND PJ KIPS RIGHT BACK UP TO HIS FEET! Ruler is quickly scrambling up to his feet as well, as he falls over into the ropes, and Hendrx runs at him as fast as possible, before clotheslining him over the ropes and he falls to the ringside floor! Ruler quickly drops and tumbles down to the floor, as he quickly tries to get back to his feet, but PJ isn’t going to allow for that to happen as he runs the ropes one more time, AND PJ HENDRX DIVES THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE WITH A HUGE SUICIDE DIVE!!
Stew-O: RULER GOES BACKFIRST RIGHT INTO THE BARRICADE FROM THE FORCE OF THE SUICIDE DIVE! But I don’t think that PJ Hendrx is done just yet, as he quickly rolls back into the ring once again, running off the ropes once more, AND ANOTHER SUICIDE DIVE! PJ GOES BACK INTO THE RING, AND THEN A THIRD SUICIDE DIVE TO RULER AND THAT ONE TAKES RULER OFF OF HIS FEET!! PJ Hendrx is finally getting himself back into this match as he quickly drags Ruler back to his feet by the hair, before he sends him flying right into the barricade!
Flannery McCoy: Ruler falls hard into the barricade, and you can see that he is suddenly in a world of hurt, holding his ribcage as he is leaning up against the barricade, but PJ Hendrx isn’t going to give him any breathing time as he quickly backs away from the challenger, before closing the distance as fast as possible, CATCHING RULER WITH A CALF KICK WHO WAS LEANING UP AGAINST THE BARRICADE, KNOCKING HIM RIGHT BACK AS RULER HITS HIS HEAD INTO THE BARRICADE! THE CHALLENGER IS WEARY AND THIS MIGHT BE HUGELY BENEFICIAL FOR THE INTERWIRE CHAMPION RIGHT NOW!
Jake Mercer: PJ Hendrx grabs the challenger by the hair, before slamming him right back into the ringpost, and Ruler hits his face hard! He then throws him back into the ring, climbing up to the top rope as it looks like Ruler isn’t going to have anyway of escaping from this, AS PJ HENDRX JUMPS OFF OF THE TOP ROPE AND DROPS DOWN ONTO RULER WITH A FROG SPLASH!
Stew-O: RULER GETS THE KNEES UP!!! RULER GETS THE KNEES UP AND PJ HENDRX CRASHES RIGHT DOWN INTO RULER’S KNEES, AND RULER THEN GRABS PJ BY THE HAIR, PULLING HIM OVER INTO AN INSIDE CRADLE PINFALL, RULER MIGHT STEAL IT!
Referee: OOONNNEEE!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWWWWOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: BUT A KICKOUT BY HENDRX! INTERWIRE CHAMPION LIVES ON!
Jake Mercer: PJ Hendrx slides out of the pin, as he quickly stumbles back up to his feet, before dropping right back down to his knees; and you can tell that he is feeling the agony from the knees right to the gut. PJ Hendrx’s clearly hurting right now, and Ruler is slowly getting back up to his feet as well, and just like that, I feel like the challenger has found his way right back into the match. Hendrx continues to roll around in agony, while Ruler just stands up against the corner, waiting for PJ to get up.
Stew-O: PJ Hendrx slowly pulls himself back up to his feet with the help of the ropes, clearly unknowing of who is stalking him down, as he turns himself back around to the ring, ONLY FOR RULER TO RUSH IN RIGHT AT THE INTERWIRE CHAMPION–
Flannery McCoy: ENZIGURI BY HENDRX!
Jake Mercer: PJ HENDRX JUST CAUGHT RULER WITH AN ENZIGURI AND RULER IS STUNNED! Hendrx quickly gets back to his feet, as Ruler is still up as well, AND THEN HENDRX KNOCKS RULER DOWN TO HIS KNEES WITH A LOW SUPERKICK! Ruler falls to his knees as Hendrx quickly backs up into the ropes, before taking a step right back in, and then yet another superkick, this time right to the face! And PJ Hendrx goes up into the cover!
Referee: OOONNNEEE!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWWWWOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: But it’s the challenger who is able to get the kickout, much to the frustration of PJ Hendrx! PJ gets back to his feet, as he brushes his hair back, clutching at his gut still from Ruler getting his knees up by the frog splash.
Flannery McCoy: Ruler is still down and out however, as PJ looks down at him, AND HE RUNS TOWARDS RULER BEFORE FLIPPING INTO THE AIR, DROPPING RIGHT DOWN ONTO RULER WITH A HUGE STANDING SHOOTING STAR PRESS!! Ruler just got caught with the standing shooting star press by PJ Hendrx, and it looks like Hendrx may be looking to put the final nail in the coffin of this match as he quickly staggers over to the corner, before hopping up to the top rope, and he has Ruler in perfect position, as he stands himself up onto the top rope!!!
Jake Mercer: AND PJ HENDRX LEAPS UP INTO THE AIR, BEFORE CORKSCREWING HIMSELF AROUND AND DROPPING DOWN ONTO RULER WITH THE ‘CAAAATCHHH YOOUUURRR BRREEEAATHHHHH!!!’ A PHOENIX SPLASH ONTO THE CHALLENGER!!!
Stew-O: BUT RULER IS ABLE TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY, AND THAT MAKES PJ HENDRX CRASH AND BURN RIGHT INTO THE MAT BELOW, HE MIGHT BE OUT OF IT!
Flannery McCoy: PJ just crashed hard right down into the mat, and Ruler might be taking this match for himself right now! Ruler quickly grabs PJ by the hair, before dragging him to his feet, AND HE TURNS HIM INSIDE OUT WITH A MASSIVE LARIAT, AND HENDRX IS OUT ONCE AGAIN! And now Ruler quickly mounts onto Hendrx, and he is knocking him back with those forearms! Forearm after forearm to the face of PJ, and he isn’t even in it right now to be able to get his guard up, this isn’t looking too good for the Interwire Champion.
Jake Mercer: And he grabs Hendrx by the throat, throwing him up right to his feet, ONLY TO LIFT HIM INTO THE AIR AND DROP HIM WITH A URANAGE! Hendrx gets slammed right back down into the mat, BUT RULER ISN’T DONE AS HE DRAGS PJ HENDRX RIGHT BACK UP TO HIS FEET, AND HE GOES FOR A FALCON ARROW–
Stew-O: PJ LANDS OUT OF IT AND HE DROPS DOWN ONTO HIS FEET, BEFORE CATCHING RULER ON THE JAW WITH AN ENZIGURI! Ruler is stunned once again, and suddenly Hendrx is quickly getting himself back into this match, as he quickly pops right back up to his feet, BEFORE HOPPING UP INTO THE AIR AND TWISTING HIMSELF AROUND RULER, PLANTING HIM RIGHT DOWN INTO THE MATCH WITH A TORNADO DDT!! Hendrx nails Ruler with a sudden tornado DDT, and this might be the one opening he needs to put an end to this match right here and now, this moment!
Flannery McCoy: And I think he’s going to do exactly that, as he quickly drags Ruler right back up to his feet, BEFORE SPRINGING ONTO THE ROPES!!! ‘PIERCE OF AFFLICTION–’
Jake Mercer: RULER CATCHES HIM WITH A KICK TO THE GUT! PJ STUMBLES DOWN, BUT RULER PICKS HIM RIGHT BACK UP AND HE DRAGS HIM UP TO HIS FEET, BEFORE THROWING HIM UP, AND THEN DOWN WITH THE ELEVATED DDT!!! ‘WILL OF NICHOLAS!!!’ AND RULER FALLS RIGHT INTO THE COVER!!
Referee: OOONNNEEE!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWWWWOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TTTHHHHH–
Stew-O: BUT PJ HENDRX JUST BARELY KICKS OUT!! RULER CAN’T BELIEVE IT! THE INTERWIRE CHAMPION CONTINUES LIVING ON IN THIS MATCH, JUST BARELY GETTING THE SHOULDER UP RIGHT BEFORE THE COUNT OF THREE! You can clearly see the frustration on Ruler’s face, but you can see that PJ is in a world of hurt!
Flannery McCoy: This match has been intense since the getgo, and I don’t think that it is even close to stopping right now, as Ruler quickly gets PJ right back up to his feet, before slapping him right across the face! You know that these two have respect for each other, but I don’t think that PJ is going to take that very lightly, AND HE SLAPS RULER RIGHT IN THE FACE AS WELL! RULER STUMBLES BACK, AND A FIRE WAS LIT INSIDE OF HENDRX SUDDENLY, AND HE SPRINGBOARDS OFF THE ROPES, LOOKING FOR THE SPRINGBOARD SPEAR TO END THIS–
Jake Mercer: BUT RULER STOPS HIM RIGHT IN HIS TRACKS! Hendrx is trying to get out of Ruler’s grip, as he quickly grabs him by the waistlock, AND HE THROWS HIM OVER WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX… ONLY FOR HENDRX TO LAND ON HIS FEET! HENDRX LANDS ON HIS FEET, AND HE DRAGS RULER UP, BEFORE LIFTING HIM UP, AND HE CONNECTS WITH THE BRIDGING PACKAGE POWERBOMB!!! HENDRX WITH ‘PLANET ZERO!!!!’AND HENDRX HOLD THE COVER!
Referee: OOONNNEEE!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWWWWOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TTTHHHHH–
Stew-O: KICKOUT BY RULER!!!
Flannery McCoy: PJ HENDRX CAN’T BELIEVE IT! HE CAN’T BELIEVE THAT RULER JUST KICKED OUT!
Jake Mercer: And he doesn’t look happy about it whatsoever, guys! He quickly drags himself right back up to his feet, falling up into the ropes, wondering what he needs to do to keep Ruler down! And look, Ruler is still making it right back up to his feet, and Hendrx can’t believe it! This whole match has been these two simply just trying to keep each other down, they are looking to do whatever it possibly takes to become the Interwire Champion, these two will have to kill each other just to keep the other down at this point.
Stew-O: And Jake I think these two might be looking to do exactly that at this point; AS A KNEELING RULER IS TELLING HENDRX TO BRING IT, AND HENDRX GLADLY ACCEPTS THAT INVITATION AS HE RUSHES IN AT RULER AND KICKS HIM RIGHT IN THE FACE! RULER MIGHT BE OUT RIGHT THEN AND THERE, BUT HENDRX ISN’T DONE AS HE DRAGS HIM UP RIGHT INTO THE AIR, LOOKING FOR A MASSIVE BRAINBUSTER ONTO RULER TO POSSIBLY PUT AN END TO THIS MATCH, BUT RULER IS ABLE TO ESCAPE OUT OF IT, AND HE DROPS DOWN BEHIND PJ! HENDRX TURNS AROUND–
Flannery McCoy: ‘REVOLUTIONIZER’ BY RULER!!!
Jake Mercer: PJ DUCKS IT! HE MANAGES TO DUCK IT!
Stew-O: AND NOW PJ HENDRX CATCHES RULER WITH A PELE KICK!! RULER IS DAZED, AND HENDRX QUICKLY STUMBLES BACK UP, BEFORE HE SPRINGBOARDS ONTO THE ROPES, AND THIS TIME AROUND HE IS ABLE TO HIT THE ‘PIERCE OF AFFLICTION’ WITH PERFECTION!! THE SPRINGBOARD SPEAR CONNECTS!!
Flannery McCoy: NO IT DOESN’T!! RULER SOMEHOW MOVES OUT OF THE WAY! PJ FAILS TO HIT THE SPRINGBOARD SPEAR ONCE MORE, AND HE FALLS TO THE GROUND, BEFORE–
Jake Mercer: ‘BLOODRAYNE MAKER!!!’ RULER COVERS!
Referee: OOONNNEEE!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWWWWOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: BUT THE INTERWIRE CHAMPION STILL KICKS OUT!! I CAN’T BELIEVE IT! RULER CAN’T BELIEVE IT! NO ONE CAN BELIEVE IT! Ruler thought that he had won the Interwire Championship right then and there, but no! No! Hendrx is still in this and he is still fighting, and now Ruler is really getting angry! Ruler quickly gets back to his feet, and he grabs Hendrx by the hair before throwing him right back up as well, and a knee right to the face! AND NOW RULER IS GOING TO GO FOR YET ANOTHER ‘BLOODRAYNE MAKER’ TO END THIS TITLE MATCH–
Flannery McCoy: PJ HENDRX TWISTS HIMSELF OUT OF IT BEFORE CATCHING RULER AND DROPPING HIM DOWN WITH A NECKBREAKER! Ruler gets slammed down hard right into the mat, and this may be the opening that PJ Hendrx needs as he quickly gets right back up to his feet, before stumbling over into the corner, and he starts to climb up to the top rope! Ruler is out of it right now, and PJ Hendrx needs to perfect this moment right here and now, as he gets his standing on the top rope, BEFORE HE LEAPS RIGHT UP INTO THE AIR!!
Jake Mercer: ‘CATCH YOUR BREATH!!!!’ ‘CATCH YOUR BREATH!!!!’ PJ HENDRX CORKSCREWS HIMSELF AROUND BEFORE SPLASHING RIGHT DOWN INTO RULER’S RIBCAGE WITH THE PHOENIX SPLASH!!! RULER IS OUT OF IT, THIS MIGHT BE IT, BUT I DON’T THINK THAT PJ HENDRX IS DONE JUST YET! He drags Ruler right back up to his feet, and you can tell that Ruler is barely in it right now at this point, and I don’t think that PJ Hendrx cares about any of that anymore, this is about retaining the Interwire Championship to him, and he is going to look to do exactly that!
Stew-O: AND HENDRX HITS HIM WITH THE INVERTED DEATH VALLEY DRIVER!!! ‘HURRICANE’ HITS WITH PERFECTION, AND HENDRX IS ABLE TO THROW HIS ARM OVER RULER FOR THE COVER, AND THIS MIGHT BE IT FOR THIS MATCH RIGHT NOW! PJ HENDRX IS GOING TO RETAIN! PJ HENDRX IS GOING TO RETAIN!
Referee: OOONNNEEE!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWWWWOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: RULER KICKS OUT AGAIN! HE KICKS OUT AGAIN! HOW?! HOW DID HE KICKOUT?! HOW DID RULER STAY IN THIS MATCH?! PJ HENDRX IS SPEECHLESS! PJ HENDRX THOUGHT HE HAD THIS MATCH WON, BUT HE’S RIGHT BACK UP TO HIS FEET ONCE MORE!
Jake Mercer: AND HE DRAGS RULER UP AS WELL, AND YOU CAN TELL THAT AT THIS POINT RULER IS NOT IN IT ANYMORE, BUT I DON’T THINK THAT PJ HENDRX CARES! HE IS AS DESPERATE AS CAN BE, AS HE RUNS OFF THE ROPES, BEFORE SPRINGBOARDING ONTO THEM, TWISTING HIMSELF AND CUTS RULER RIGHT IN HALF WITH THE SPRINGBOARD SPEAR!! HE NAILS HIM WITH THE ‘PIERCE OF AFFLICTION!!!’ AND NOW PJ HENDRX PINS RULER ONE LAST TIME TO PUT AN END TO THIS MATCH ONCE AND FOR ALL! THIS IS OVER
Referee: OOONNNEEE!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWWWWOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘DNA’ would hit the loud speakers once again to an explosion of cheers, as PJ Hendrx quickly pushed himself off of the cover and Ruler’s lifeless body, sitting up in a seated position. He can’t believe the war that he had just gone through, as the referee would walk over to him, handing him his Interwire Championship as he gets up to his feet, raising it high into the air.
Stephie Love: HERE IS YOUR WINNER; AAANNNDDD STIIIILLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE EAW INTERWIRE CHAMPION, PPPPPJJJJJJJJJJ HEEEEENNNNNDDDRRRXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: These two both know each other very well, and there was no doubt in my mind that because of that given history, it would bring us a war, and they exceeded our expectations and then some. Ruler made PJ Hendrx earn the right to be able to say that he is still the Interwire Champion, and PJ did exactly that.
Flannery McCoy: Ruler proved just how much of a threat that he is here tonight, despite the defeat. It took nearly three back to back to back of PJ’s big moves to be able to finally put him down in the ending stretch of this match, and for that, I give him all the credit in the world. But nonetheless, congratulations to PJ Hendrx on yet another successful championship defense!
(PJ would continue to hold the championship high, as Ruler just looks to be extremely disappointed with how this match had turned out for him, as the camera would then fade elsewhere from there, going to commercial.)
(A commercial for Pain for Pride featuring Elitists like Kassidy Heart, Adam Lucas, Drake King, Minerva, Limmy Monaghan, Jake Smith and Sienna Jade.)
(The scene fades back inside the Kaseya Center in Miami, Florida. It pans to various parts of the arena, where the show is finally coming together. More EAW fans are trickling into the arena, some of them sitting down as the testing of the Chinese National Anthem was being done during the commercial break.)
( https://i.imgur.com/ZSr1cit.png )
( As the crowd was on the edge of their seats in wait, ‘Rhapsody In Pink’ broke the tension in the arena to a wave of mixed reactions as we were geared up for TITLE MATCH ACTION, with Candice Blair beginning her way out to the ring, a smirk on her face as she took confident strides down the ramp, her attire being colored baby blue, with white hearts, diamonds, and crowns beings adorned in the gear as they beautifully hinted the aesthetic; though no less should be expected for a Disney Princess. As Candice continued her ring walk, making it down the ramp as she went up the ring steps, slowly transferring herself to the apron, splitting the middle rope for herself before entering through; taking a moment in the middle of the ring to savor the moment, taking a pre mature bow before the match, before finally getting into her corner, awaiting the Champion. )
Stephie Love: AND INTRODUCING FIRST, THE CHALLENGER…. FIGHTING OUT OF ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA… SHE IS, ‘THE FACE OF DISNEY’…. CANDICE BLAIR!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: And it looks like we’re about to have some Specialists Championship action now, as THE Face of Disney, Voltages Own, Candice Blair is beginning to make her entrance now as she is challenging Milli Banks for her title TONIGHT! And I take note of the fact that Candice isn’t coming out here with an entourage, she believes she can get this one done herself, and now? It’s time to see if her beliefs follow reality.
Flannery McCoy: And they very well could, Jake. I mean Candice flys under a lot of radars in EAW, when if anything she is one of the most TALENTED people on the Voltage Roster, or Womens Locker-Room to BEGIN with. She’s no easy hurdle, and if Milli wants to RETAIN tonight? She needs to bring 110% into stopping Candice from pulling the upset.
Stew-O: Couldn’t agree more, you see Candice’s confidence, you FEEL her energy… this is going to be a good one folks, a defense for the ages looking to be lined up now between two GREAT Elitists, I’m PUMPED!
( Suddenly, ‘Changed It’ blasted through the speakers to a wave of cheers from the Miami Crowd, as none other than Milli Banks began making her way out to the ring, a grin on her face as she stunted white Gucci glasses to accent her white and gold gear, the Specialists Championship shining BRIGHTLY on her waist as Milli began her ring walk, stopping for a moment to hit a hip swivel right above the ramp; before continuing downwards, singing the lyrics to her own theme as she kept eye contact with Candice inside the ring, winking at her Challenger with a smirk as Milli made it to ring side, walking around before jumping on the apron next to the hard cam, unstripping the title from her waist before RAISING it high in the air, a shot of pyro blasting off as Milli soaked in the energy of the arena; before lowering her title and entering the ring, giving her Championship to the referee as he began handing it back out the staff at ringside, before Milli got into her own corner, awaiting the bell. )
Stephie Love: AND HER OPPONENT…. FIGHTING OUT OF THE BRONX, NEW YORK…. SHE IS, THE SPECIALISTS CHAMPION… THE ‘IT GIRL’, MILLLLLIIIIIIIIIIII BANNNNKSSSSSSSS!!!!
Stew-O And the Champion beginning to make her entrance now, and you can notice the CONFIDENCE dripping off her demeanor, no worry coming into this Championship match tonight, knowing that right now she has simply so much more to give for this Specialisfs Title Reign; she does NOT plan on losing yet!
Jake Mercer: We all seen ho HARD Milli grinder and pushed to even EARN this title at Grand Rampage, and now? Now it’s self preservation time. Now it’s kill the competition hour, and Milli? Milli needs to take out a truly tough opponent in Candice Blair.
Flannery McCoy: Look if anyone can do it? Milli can, as long as she stays focused, comes in with a solid game plan, and does what she does best in stealing the show? We could be seeing just yet another defense in a possible outstanding reign!
( Ding! Ding! Ding! )
Flannery McCoy: And we are underway in singles SPECIALIST’S CHAMPIONSHIP ACTION, between the champion Milli Banks and her challenger tonight, Candice Blair in the BEAUTIFUL city of Miami, Florida; guys, this one is going to be GOOD. 😥
Jake Mercer: Couldn’t agree more, Flann’! This is a battle between two MOUNTAINS in EAW’s womens division; but the question is, how are two BEHEMOTHS meant to topple over one another? All out war. And that is what I think we are in store for now, as both Elitist’s are leaving their corners now, and it looks like the action will TRULY begin to go underway!
Stew-O: Yes, with both Elitist’s here coming into the center of the ring; Candice Blair stretching out an arm to meet Milli’s own, the two competitors trying to feel each other out before getting into a possible collar and elbow tie-up – OH! But Candice Blair shiftily moving behind Milli, managing to place her in a waist lock as Blair tries to lift Milli off the ground…
Flannery McCoy: But look! Milli strategically placing both of her hands on Candice’s own, and you can see the struggle on Blair’s face as she tries to keep the hold on; Milli trying with all her might to break the Challenger’s hold over her, and if you look closely, Candice’s hands are breaking off of Milli’s waist; Milli is outpowering her!
Jake Mercer: And now Candice looks a bit worried, with Milli parting both of Blair’s hands further and further away from each other – BEFORE MILLI SWIFTLY SPINS AROUND ON CANDICE, PLACING BLAIR IN HER OWN WAIST LOCK!
Stew-O: Smart and quick maneuvers from the champion here, as Milli waists little time trying to make due of her positioning; before SLAMMING Candice into the mat face first with the hold still in tact! Downing the Challenger here, as Milli quickly shifts her holds upwards and grasps along the head of Candice, placing her in a headlock to try and wear down her opposition!
Flannery McCoy: And Candice not being weak to Banks’s plans here, quickly grasping at Milli’s hands to pry her grip completely off of her head, but Milli is PERSISTENT in keeping her arms locked in; as slowly Milli begins to lift herself up alongside Blair, making their way off of the mat and into a vertical position; and inevitably when they do Candice’s manages to PUSH Milli off of her, sending her into the ropes as Blair hunches over trying to recover – BEFORE MILLI QUICKLY REBOUNDS OFF AND TAGS CANDICE IN THE HEAD WITH A RISING KICK SENDING BLAIR RIGHT BACK UP!
Jake Mercer: A beautiful sequence for Milli as Candice stumbles backwards to the ropes behind her, Milli recuperating for a moment before rushing forward with the position seeming PERFECT… AND MILLI JUST DUMPING CANDICE BLAIR OVER THE ROPES WITH A CLOTHESLINE! THE CHAMPION IS IN CONTROL!
Crowd: LETS GO MILLI! LETS GO MILLI! LETS GO MILLI!
Stew-O: And Miami is BEHIND her in these advances;as Candice topples onto her feet, hunching over the barricade as she strays the hair away from her eyes; revealing a quite IRRITATED demeanor following the outcome of how this match started, though it quickly fades as Candice shakes her head; taking a deep breath in and out to maintain her cool – Character resolution, a true Disney move!
Jake Mercer: Let’s hope Candice can keep that mentality during the FULL match, I mean she surely is confident; after all, she decided to come out here all in her lonesome for this match; all she needs to do is tap into the Star-Maker and Star-BREAKER that she is, and pull through with the upset and bring GOLD back into the #DisneyBesties
Flannery McCoy: And she will try to do just that, but not if Milli Banks can deny it; as now Milli is looking to take to the skys, RUNNING the ropes with high impact speed, looking to garner momentum as she runs directly towards where Candice Blair was outside; JUMPING OVER THE TOP ROPE, LOOKING TO FLY –
Stew-O: AND MILLI CRASHES AND BURNS, WITH CANDICE BLAIR EVADING THE DIVE… OH! BUT LUCKILY MILLI LANDED ON HER FEET! Grabbing the barricade as she steadied herself, not taking much of an impact recoil after that miss – BUT CANDICE BLAIR WITH A SUPERKICK MAKES UP FOR LOST DAMAGE, EVENING THE BATTLE FIELD BACK UP FOR HERSELF!
Jake Mercer: GREAT instinct from Candice Blair! She found her moment, she took it, and now she is GLAD to have kept control of her temper; as now she had Milli laid out , putting her in PRIME position to take over!
ONE!
Stew-O: And let’s be mindful of the referee’s count here, I’m sure Candice is very attentive to it knowing that if Milli Banks isn’t in that ring by 10, or SHE doesn’t get in the ring? The Specialist’s Championship agenda she had comes burning down, as now Candice begins to pick Milli off the floor; carrying the dazed champion towards the steel steps, first with a slow speed, before picking it up in pace and SLAMMING Milli right into the clashing metal!
Jake Mercer: Yikes… I know Milli felt every BIT of that, it just showcases how SERIOUS Candice is about this title opportunity; with Milli now laying in a seated position against the steel, trying to nurse her pain as Blair backs up yet again, making space between herself and her opponent; looking to deal some high impact damage onto Milli, as now Candice RUNS forward, trying to catch the Champion with a Meteora against the steps – BUT MILLI MOVES OUT THE WAY JUST IN TIME!!!
Flannery McCoy: YES, MILLI ROLLING OUT OF THE WAY TO LET CANDICE BLAIR COLLIDE AGAINST THE STEEL… BUT WAIT, CANDICE DROPPED HER FEET TO BOUNCE OFF THE GROUND RIGHT BEFORE HITTING THE STEPS AND GAVE HERSELF A HOP UP TO EVADE COLLISION! MILLI ENTIRELY UNAWARE AS SHE LAYS ON THE FLOOR, WITH CANDICE IN POSITION TO SURPIRSE HER – AND SHE DOES! BLAIR JUMPING OFF THE TOP OF THE STEPS AND HITTING THE CHAMPION WITH A BEAUTIFUL MOONSAULT!
Stew-O: And that is a TESTAMENT to Candice Blair’s ability to think on a dime! People underrate her abilities to a high degree, but we all have to truly remember and understand how truly PHENOMENAL Candice Blair really is! As now Blair climbs off the body of Milli, picking up the champion yet again as she slides her into the ring, following not far behind; before crawling over right into the cover!!!
OOOOONNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTWW–
Jake Mercer: AND A KICKOUT FROM MILLI!
Stew-O: And a little annoyance being shown from Candice out of that kickout, but nothing too worrying as it seems like Blair is taking a moment to breath, meditate, relax –
Crowd: LET’S GO MILLI! LET’S GO MILLI! LET’S GO MILLI!
Candice Blair (off-mic): But… But what about me? :pleading_face:
Crowd: YOU SUCK! YOU SUCK! YOU SUCK!
Candice Blair (off-mic): This is not very DISNEY of any of you! :ufdup: 😔
Crowd: WE LOVE SONY! WE LOVE SONY! WE LOVE SONY!
Candice Blair (off-mic); Ugh, RUDE!
Jake Mercer: I mean personally I really enjoyed Avengers: Infinity War and End Game more than the recent Sony projects, plus I think Spiderman should be a Disney entitled character –
Flannery McCoy: They aren’t going to give you a raise, Jake.
Jake Mercer: Hey, those are REAL opinions I’ll have you know… And if you ever want to find out if I’m right about my opinions; be sure to download Disney + at a price of 7.99 $ / Month and find out for yourself!
Flannery McCoy & Stew-O: :cmon:
Jake Mercer: Bag chaser. 🤑
Stew-O: Uhuh… Regardless, Candice clearly wasn’t pleased by that crowd reaction; as she quickly goes to shake it off, going to pick Milli Back up to her feet – OH, BUT LOOK! MILLI PINNING DOWN CANDICE QUICKLY IN A ROLL UP, LOOKING FOR A SLY WIN TO QUICKLY PUT THIS MATCH AWAY!!!!
OOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO—
Flannery McCoy: AND CANDICE KICKS OUT!
Jake Mercer:Candice clearly a little shocked as she FRANTICALLY tries to get up and pin Milli back down, but the Champion SIMPLY too fast to get up; as Banks scrambles up to her feet, with Candice running behind her with little room to be seen between the two, as Milli makes a DART to the corner; looking to somehow evade Candice – Before Milli propels herself upward, grabbing both of the top ropes aside the top turnbuckle, and BOUNCING herself over the head of Blair who rushes into the turnbuckle, staggered trying to turn around and catch Milli!
Flannery McCoy: Great evasion from Milli here, building a little more room as she looks to be going to the OPPOSING corner; with Candice now beginning to regroup and run after her, and Milli now looking to do the same thing again; grabbing both ropes aside the turnbuckle to propel herself over Candice Blair, though Candice seeming attentive to that fact as she pre-maturely stops to make sure Milli couldn’t make the jump – OOHH, BUT MAYBE THAT WASN’T THE PLAN AT ALL! AS NOW MILLI EXTENDS HERSELF OUTWARDS; PLACING HER FEET ON CANDICE’S SHOULDERS AND HOOKING ONTO HER!
Stew-O: And Candice is staggered, unsure what to do from her as Milli pushes herself off the ropes, spinning herself towards the middle of the ring with Candice in tow – AND MILLI LAUNCHING CANDICE OUTWARDS WITH A HURRICANRANA SENDING THE CHALLENGER FLYING!
Jake Mercer: Milli getting EXTREMELY resourceful here, as Candice hits the mat hard; sprawling up to her feet, seemingly in a dizzy fashion as she spins around on her heel , almost as if she’s unsure of where she is at the moment – BEFORE MILLI COLLIDES AGAINST BLAIR’S JAW WITH A JUMPING DROPKICK, FLOORING THE CHALLENGER… AND MILLI WITH A KIP-UP BACK TO HER FEET!!!
Flannery McCoy: BEAUTIFUL, ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! Milli fighting with PRIDE and DETERMINATION, pulling out all the stops to take Candice down ; before quickly rolling into a pin on Candice!
OOONNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
TH–
Stew-O: AND CANDICE KICKS OUT!
Flannery McCoy: The Disney Agenda is still in tact! With Candice not giving up just yet, Milli sitting up out of the cover as she pushes her hair back away from her face, biting the inside of her cheek; it seems that Milli is back to the drawing board here as Milli starts to form a grim on her face, this does NOT look promising for Candice… :lupe:
Jake Mercer: It doesn’t look promising because it ISN’T promising, Flann’, and that’ll be evident momentarily; as Milli now reaches her feet, CALLING Candice up to her feet as Blair can only find herself to be obedient to those calls; slowly getting up to her feet as Milli lines herself up perfectly with the ropes, Candice unaware to her plan as she backpedals right into Milli who spins her around, JUMPING ONTO THE MIDDLE ROPE AS SHE TUCKS CANDICE’S HEAD AROUND HER ARM, BOUNCING ONTO THE TOP ROPE FROM THERE AS SHE SPINS AROUND; LOOKING FOR… IS THAT’ CANDICE’S TORNADO DDT? ‘COLORS OF THE WIND’ BUT IN MILLI’S CASE – ‘ YOU ARE NOT HER!!!!’ — AND IT CONNECTS!!!
Stew-O: NO! LOOK, MILLI MADE IT TO THE GROUND… BUT CANDICE BLOCKED IT WITH A HAND STAND! SHOWING HER BALANCE AS MILLI COULDN’T KEEP CANDICE FROM REVERSING, BANKS LAYING ON THE MAT; AS CANDICE FLIPS ONTO HER FEET – AND JUMPS INTO THE AIR LANDING TWO KNEES INTO MILLI’S GUT, AND ROLLING FORWARD!
Flannery McCoy: A PERFECT outcome for Candice, as Milli holds her gut in agony; CLEARLY surprised at what just happened, but I don’t think Candice is done! Blair quickly getting to her feet, standing away from Banks, though she seems to be lining herself up… AND CANDICE NOW BACKFLIPPING BACK TOWARDS MILLI’S MID-SECTION, AND BLASTING HER WITH ANOTHER PAIR OF KNEES TO THE GUT, ADDING INSULT TO INJURY!!!
Jake Mercer: And now, Candice looks to be sizing MILLI up now; a complete change up from how this was previously, as Blair stands in the corner, with Milli slowly beginning to rise to her feet in the center of the ring; oblivious to the plan being sought out against her, as Banks finds a vertical position, spinning right towards Candice –
Stew-O: ‘ SPINNING WHEEL!!!!!! ‘ THE SPINNING WHEEL KICK CONNECTS AGAINST MILLI, AND CANDICE INSTANTLY GOES INTO THE COVER!!!!
OOOOONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
TTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
THHRRRRRRREEEEE—
Flannery McCoy: NO LOOK, MILLI KICKED OUT!
Jake Mercer: Yes she did RIGHT before a full three count, and Candice can’t believe it ! Blair sighing as she shakes her head, clearly not fully appreciative that this match is going into it’s second act, knowing she wanted to put it away right then and there; but nevertheless, Milli Banks survives!
Stew-O: And I mean, what did Candice expect? Milli fought THIS hard to become Specialist’s Champion, and now? She’ll go 10x harder to STAY Specialist’s Champion, Candice just have to accommodate to that. And let’s hope she does here, as Blair tries to figure out a way to recoup now – Wait, it looks like someone’s gotten her attention!
Girl in Crowd: Go Candice!! Use your Disney Magic!!!
Jake Mercer: Awww, a little girl outside the ring with a pair of Minnie Mouse ears, it looks like one of Candice’s fans is here – and that doesn’t include Halsey Neel or Sierra Everett this time!
Flannery McCoy: It seems like Candice Blair is taking her eye of this match momentarily to come venture out the ring and get closer up to the girl , Disney’s Resident Rolemodel meeting with a Super-Fan!
Candice Blair (off-mic): Why aren’t you absolutely ADORABLE! It seems like you are the one person here who TRULY believes in Disney Magic and the Disney Agenda!
Girl In Crowd: I love the Disney Besties, you guys rock! I really want you to win the Specialist’s Championship! :pleading_face:
Candice Blair (off-mic): Well you know, if you hope REALLY hard? All your dreams will come true!
Girl In Crowd: So if I wish for you to use your ‘Disneyland Destroyer’… Could you do that? :lupe:
Candice Blair (off-mic): Well of course, Disney Magic ALWAYS comes through!
Flannery McCoy: Well that was… Adorable, to say the least; but it seems like Candice Blair is getting back on task, with Milli Banks starting to get up slowly in the ring; with Blair making quick time trying to scale the ropes from the outside, reaching the top turnbuckle with a swiftness, Milli Banks finally getting to her feet as she twirls around; heading right in the direction of Candice lying in wait on the top rope… AND IT LOOKS LIKE CANDICE IS ABOUT TO FULFILL A DISNEY WISH, JUMPING OFF THE TOP ROPE AS SHE LOOKS TO PLACE A CANADIAN DESTROYER ONTO MILLI BANKS AND SEND HER LIGHTS OUT WITH A ‘DISNEYLAND DESTROYER!!!!!!’ —
Stew-O: “NO FAKE BILLS HERE!!!!!” MILLI POPS UP JUST IN TIME TO ELEVATE HER KNEE RIGHT INTO CANDICE’S JAW AND LAND HER SIGNATURE KNEE STRIKE! FLOORING THE CHALLENGER, AND STOPPING DISNEY MAGIC FROM PROSPERING!
Milli Banks (off-mic): Whew, you got me breaking girls hearts out here, Candy-Wandy!~ You can’t be making these promises you can’t keep! 😔
Girl In Crowd: … What the [REDACTED] :dahell:
Jake Mercer: WHAT’D SHE SAY? SHE’S LIKE TWELVE – WHO TAUGHT HER THAT?!
Flannery McCoy: To be fair, she said she loves the #DisneyBesties, and Sierra Everett is also apart of that group; a pretty reasonable conclusion if you ask me.
Stew-O & Jake Mercer: :notbad:
Flannery McCoy: Nevertheless back to the in-ring action, Candice finds herself seated in the corner, with Milli not going for the cover to set up further offense; Banks taking steps away from Blair, sizing up the distance between the two – before rushing forward and SMACKING against Candice with a Meteora onto her seated opponent!
Stew-O: And a perfectly placed one at that, as Candice SLUMPS out of her seated position and onto the apron, precarious position for herself as Milli Banks is taking quick note of how Blair is situated, not wasting much time at all as Milli runs to the ropes, rebounding off – BEFORE BASEBALL SLIDING RIGHT INTO CANDICE BLAIR, LAUNCHING HER ALL THE WAY FROM THE APRON INTO THE BARRICADE OFF IMPACT; SLAMMING HER CHALLENGER DOWN !!!!!
Jake Mercer: And everything Milli wants is going PERFECTLY now, though it seems now? She wants REDEMPTION, CALLING Candice up from the center of the ring; it looks like Milli wants to fly again after being denied previously, and Blair has a chance to double down on making Milli miss in the air; as Candice begins to get up, Milli running the ropes once more as she turns, facing Candice who FINALLY reaches her feet; springboarding off the mat… AND MILLI HOPPING THE ROPES, SHIFTING HER BODY INTO THE AIR AS CANDICE REALIZES AT THE LAST SECOND.. BUT IS UNABLE TO EVADE AS MILLI LANDS A HUGE CROSSBODY ON CANDICE, SENDING BOTH ELITIST’S TO THE FLOOR!!!!
Crowd: HOLY [REDCATED] ! HOLY [REDCATED] ! HOLY [REDCATED] !
Jake Mercer: Holy… SMOKES, indeed! That was a BEAUTIFUL Crossbody and one that took both Milli AND Candice out for the moment; with Milli taking the necessary recoil in order to down her opponent, holding her core in pain, though Candice SERIOUSLY beginning to favor her back off the impact onto the floor, neither Elitist leaving that move without a little bit of damage; though now Milli Banks is starting to get up again, STEAMING through the pain, not stopping for a second as she pulls herself up, grabbing Candice as well before LAUNCHING her opponent into the ring!
Stew-O: And Milli following right behind, not letting much space to form between herself and her opponent as Banks looks to be trying to put her finishing touches on this battle now, sliding aside Candice now; grinning ear to ear… BEFORE PLACING CANDICE IN A OMOPLATA CROSSFACE , WRENCHING AT THE NECK OF BLAIR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING WITH NOWHERE TO GO!
Flannery McCoy: And Candice is FREAKING out! The pain immense and sudden that she CLEARLY was not expecting it, which is SO perfect for Milli as she continues to lean Candice’s neck back further and further, putting her ALL into the submission maneuver as Candice’s hand begins to waiver over the mat, she might tap!
Jake Mercer: She might indeed! Trying to crawl over to the ropes DESPERATELY, but the road there is a LONG one, as she pushes slowly, against the power of Milli Banks who is NOT making it easy; though Candice SOMEHOW closing the distance, reaching out; trying to force a rope break – BUT LOOK AT MILLI, PRESSING HER FOOT AGAINST THE ROPE TO TRY AND KEEP CANDICE AWAY FROM THE ROPE, IT’S PERFECT; IT’S FLAWLESS, ITS —
Stew-O: WAIT, CANDICE BLAIR IS GOING BACKWARDS WITH MILLI’S MOMENTUM! FLIPPING HER AROUND ONTO HER SHOULDERS INSIDE THE CROSSFACE, SUCH AN AWKWARD ANGLE; BUT IT’S WORKING, THE REFEREE HAS TO COUNT!!!
OOOOONNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!
TTWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
THHRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEE—
Flannery McCoy: AND MILLI HAS TO LET GO! STOPPING HERSELF FROM GETTING PINNED BUT RELEASING CANDICE FROM THE SUBMISSION!!! Perfect for Blair as Milli rolls away for a moment, gathering herself after that close call; though THANKFULLY having the wherewithal to let go before LOSING her Championship Reign!
Jake Mercer: Agreed, what a TRAGIC way to lose the title that would’ve been; as Candice now rolls out the ring AGAIN with the leniency given to her; taking all the time she needs to in order to make as full of a recovery as humanly possible after that HARSH submission, though Milli Banks not entirely off of her case yet; Banks beginning to trot over to where Candice made her exit, stepping through the middle rope and hopping off the apron; walking towards the Challenger –
Stew-O: AND CANDICE WITH A HUGE FORE-ARM TO THE HEAD OF MILLI! Rocking the Champion for a moment who takes a second to regain herself… BEFORE MILLI RETURNS THE FAVOR WITH A SLAP TO THE FACE, CONNECTING ON CANDICE! And no love lost here, as Candice wastes NO time reaching out for ANOTHER right hand to the jaw of Milli… AND IT CONNECTS!
Flannery McCoy: And Milli is NOT letting that slide, looking to land a forearm of her own… BUT CANDICE DUCKS! BANKS MISSING WILDLY, AS CANDICE TWIRLS ON HER FEET – ‘ALMOST THERE!!!!’ THE DISCUS CLOTHESLINE FLOORING MILLI ON THE OUTSIDE, SENDING HER CRASHING TO THE FLOOR AS AN OPENING IS BEING MADE NOW, WITH CANDICE NEEDING TO TAKE ADVANTAGE HERE; REALIZING THE POSITIONING MILLI IS IN AS CANDICE JUMPS ONTO THE APRON, CALLING MILLI UP TO HER FEET; WHAT IS SHE PLANNING?!
Jake Mercer: I don’t know but whatever it is, it sure as heck looks like it’ll knock Milli’s lights out, as now the Champion begins ascending to her feet; in a disoriented state with no clue where she is… CANDICE WASTES NO TIME, LEAPING OFF THE APRON TOWARDS A RECOVERING MILLI BANKS, HOOKING HER HEAD BENEATH HER WAIST — ‘ DISNEYLAND DESTROYERRRR!!!!!! ‘ THE CANADIAN DESTROYER LANDING ON MILLI BANKS ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE RING – THAT LITTLE GIRL GOT HER WISH AFTER ALL!!!
Stew-O: And Candice Blair is FRANTIC, DESPERATELY trying to pull up the body of Milli into the ring, but the dead weight is too much to move quickly; with Candice DRAGGING Milli to the apron before LIFTING her up, sliding her right into the ring as Milli CONTINUES to roll; going far and far away as it looks like she’s trying to roll right back OUT of the ring from the other end – BUT CANDICE LEAPS INTO THE RING AND STOPS HER! CANDICE HAS IT, PINNING BOTH SHOULDERS DOWN; GOING FOR THE COVER, THIS COULD BE IT, THIS COULD BE IT!!!!!
OOOOONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
THHHRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Candice Blair (off-mic): I DID IT, I DID IT!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: Wait.. WAIT DID CANDICE WIN?!
Flannery McCoy: Hold on.. LOOK! MILLI GOT A FOOT ON THE BOTTOM ROPE! MILLI GOT A FOOT ONTO THE BOTTOM ROPE AND THE REF STOPPED THE COUNT BECAUSE OF IT, BUT CANDICE DOESN’T KNOW, CANDICE DIDN’T SEE IT!!!!
Stew-O: She’s celebrating, but she doesn’t even KNOW that the match is still on-going, with Milli Banks rolling out the ring to recover; and Candice just jumping in JUBILATION right in the middle of the ring, SOMEONE’S gotta tell her!
Jake Mercer: Be careful what you wish for, looks like the ref is going to do that right now…
Referee: Well actually, Candice, she got her foot on the ropes.
Candice Blair (off-mic): … She… She what?
Referee: Got her foot on the ropes, Miss. Blair.
Stew-O: Is.. Is her eye twitching? :lupe:
Candice Blair (off-mic): So I.. Didn’t win?
Referee: No ma’am.
Flannery McCoy: It doesn’t look like Candice is extremely HAPPY with that decision, as she looks to control herself; KNOWING that not only does she have a match to finish, but a REPUTATION to uphold; as she keeps a smile on, but the stress is showing, with Candice now trying not to waste anymore time ; looking outside the ring where Milli rolled out walking over and rolling out of the ring to retrieve the Champion, as Candice picks her up; flinging her BACK into the ring in order to re-pin her, as Blair rolls back in after her –
Jake Mercer: BUT WAIT, IT’S LIKE MILLI HIT A SECOND WIND! USING THE TIME CANDICE SPENT ARGUING TO SWITCH INTO SECOND GEAR, SCRAMBLING TO HER FEET AS BLAIR IS ROLLING IN, CANDICE NOTICING SUCH AS SHE QUICKLY GETS UP TO HER FEET – BUT MILLI QUICKLY SENDS A KICK TO BLAIR’S GUT, PUSHING HER BACK UP INTO A VERTICAL POSITION AS SHE TURNS AROUND, HOOKING AN ARM AROUND CANDICE’S HEAD….
Stew-O: ‘BANKRUPTTTTTTTTT!!!!’ THE SALIDA DEL SOL CONNECTING BEAUTIFULLY ON CANDICE BLAIR, SENDING HER DOWN TO THE MAT AS MILLI BANKS TUCKS BOTH OF CANDICE’S LEGS IN WITH A SWIFTNESS, LOOKING TO STEAL A WIN HERE FROM THE CHALLENGER AND RETAINING HER TITLE IN THE PROCESS, HERE COMES THE PIN!!!!!!!
OOONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
THHHRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
…
Flannery McCoy: NOOO!!!! CANDICE KICKS OUT!!!!
Stew-O: HOW DID CANDICE KICK OUT!? THAT’S IMPOSSIBLE, THIS CROWD IS SHOCKED, MILLI IS SHOCKED, WE ARE SHOCKED; WHAT IN THE WORLD GOT INTO HER?!
Jake Mercer: I’m JAW DROPPED. These two ladies are putting their ALL into this Championship match, and now it’s CRUNCH-TIME. With Candice down, Milli REFUSES to believe Blair could kick out; as she quickly rushes into ANOTHER pin attempt!
OOONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
THHHRREEEEEEEEEEE—
Flannery McCoy: AND CANDICE KICKS OUT AGAIN!!!
Stew-O: She is NOT staying down, and that could be a game ENDER for Milli Banks, unable to put her away with her most PROMISING move; if there was anything to edge at Milli Banks’s mental? It’s THAT.
Jake Mercer: Here’s where Champions are MADE, as now Milli tries shaking it off; standing back up to her feet, calling Candice up as well for possibly ANOTHER ‘Bankrupt’, with Blair SLOWLY beginning to follow Milli’s plans, in a dazed state being able to get to her feet; AS MILLI BANKS QUICKLY LOOKS TO LOCK AROUND CANDICE’S HEAD AGAIN FOR A SECOND SALIDA DEL SOL –
Flannery McCoy: NO, BUT CANDICE PUSHES HER OFF! Blair turning around as she tries to run the ropes with Milli staggered, Blair PULSING forward as she comes off the rebound, lifting her leg up to knock Milli’s block off with a MASSIVE big boot…
Jake Mercer: BUT MILLI DUCKS UNDERNEATH IT! Going RIGHT past Candice before stopping entirely, Candice turning around; and Milli with a kick to Blair’s gut! Candice being halted in the center of the ring, as Milli takes a MOMENT to look around at this sold out Aseya Center, and it looks like she’s trying to go for the finishing touches!
Stew-O: Indeed so, as now Milli Banks begins to RUN the ropes; with Candice Blair still hunched over, it looked to be PERFECT position for Milli’s plans, MILLI REBOUNDING OFF THEM QUICKLY DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF CANDICE, COMPLETELY UNAWARE OF HER SITUATION AS MILLI LEAPS INTO THE AIR, RIGHT OVER CANDICE –
Jake Mercer: ‘NEWWW BODDYYYYYYYY!!!!!’ THE FRONT-FLIP BACKSTABBER LANDING ON THE CHALLENGER WITH MILLI BANKS INSTANTLY SCRAMBLING OVER TO MAKE THE PIN COVER, NO TIME BEING WASTED AS IT LOOKS LIKE THE CHAMPION IS GOING FOR THE VICTORY HERE, THIS COULD FINALLY BE IT!!!!
OOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
TTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
THHHRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
( Ding! Ding! Ding! )
( ‘Changed It’ Blasted through the speakers to a HUGE uproar in Miami, as the ENTIRE arena cheered for Milli Banks for claiming a win here tonight and RETAINING her Specialist’s Championship ! )
Stephie Love: AND HERE IS YOUR WINNER…. AND STILLLLLLL, SPECIALIST’S CHAMPION…. MILLIIIIIIIIII BANKKSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!
Stew-O: BRAVO, WHAT A DEFENSE! This battle was absolutely BEAUTIFUL, nothing about it lacked, at no point did the action slow; it was PERFECTION! What a performance from Candice Blair, a FORMIDABLE Challenger who gave it her all and NEARLY pulled away with it; but a HUGE congratulations to Milli Banks who managed to pull away with the victory and in doing so RETAINING her Specialist’s Championship!
Jake Mercer: AMAZING, BRAVO! Milli staggered towards the end, unsure if she could be able to put away Candice Blair, but in the end? She DID IT. What an ending scene between these two, and I don’t see a reason EITHER of these woman should leave upset!
Flannery McCoy: I agree! I am sure though that sentiment would rest well with Candice after losing tonight, but it goes without saying that if there was ANY doubters of her abilities? They’ve been silenced. Candice Blair is a star, but was simply slightly outshined tonight by your CURRENT and STILL Specialist’s Champion, Milli Banks.
( The scene would showcase Milli getting her title back from the officials outside, as Candice Blair rolled out the ring to be attended by medical staff and both of her faction partners, Halsey Neel and Sierra Everett, as Milli Banks gave them a wink; turning back to the hard-cam and raising her Specialist’s Championship HIGH in the air, a set of pyro going off before the scene slowly faded to commercial. )
( A Commercial was shown for the upcoming EAW Premium Live Event, Pain For Pride, Starring the Queen Bees. )
(The scene pans to the commentators from Dynasty, Showdown and Voltage all gathered around, looking at the camera.)
Stew-O: And, with the conclusion of that second match, we conclude this kickoff show and aren’t you guys hyped up?
Gavin Kirkland: Absolutely, Stew! If those matches were on the kickoff, what can we expect for Fighting Spirit itself? These viewers here and at home were eating with this kickoff and we’re going to eat on the main card!
Persephone: We’re eating? :oh:
James Peters: More like in matches, Seph.
Persephone: That’s bull– I mean, how lovely! I guess I’ll have to UberEats something. Y’all want anything?
(Persephone Tsitsipas begins to pull out her phone and go on the UberEats app. Meanwhile, Gavin Kirkland is looking over her shoulder and begins to point at the food options. Even Rex begins to look over to the side, almost sneakly pointing his finger at the food, almost like he was breaking some sort of rule by eating while commentating.)
Eve: Mediterranean sounds good, actually. But, the producer is yelling at me to wrap up this kickoff show! We got fifteen seconds!
Flannery McCoy: Last minute predictions for our World Championship matches? Quick!
Deadprez: Limmy, Jake, Bethany and Myles!
Jake Mercer: Joso, Donovan, Bethany and Myles!
Rich Russillo: Joso, Jake, ARIA and Drake!
James Peters: Limmy, Donovan, Bethany and Myles!
Gavin Kirkland: Limmy, obviously! Donovan, I hope both women have fun and Myles!
Rex McAllister: Limmy, Donovan, Bethany and Myles!
Persephone: Whatever Rex says! I trust his opinion!
Eve: Limmy, Jake, Bethany and Myles! And, the producer is screaming in my ear for all of us to get into positions! So, let’s run!
(All of the commentators run and get themselves into position for the big show. Eve and Flannery McCoy are the only ones left as they look at the camera.)
Flannery McCoy: We got fifteen seconds. Signing off from all of us, she is Eve! I am Flannery McCoy and we’ll see you on the main show!
(The camera pans to Elitists begin to scramble backstage, putting on the last parts of their ring gears. Some are watching the monitor, others are praying and stretching. One specific Elitist is making their way towards the guerilla for their match, opening the show as the producer counts down as the whole production from lights to cameras to audio begin to go power up: five…four…three…two…one before fading to black.)
(EAW logo buzzes.)
