John Helms
NIGHT ONE
(EAW Intro Plays)
(The scene opens with an aerial view of Yankee Stadium before it transitions to older footage as a young Yankee ballplayer is up to bat as the crowd stands in anticipation and in the background you can hear Phil Rizzuto make the famous call…)
“Here comes Roger Maris. And they’re standing up, waiting to see if Maris is going to hit number sixty-one. Here’s the windup, the pitch to Roger, way outside, ball one. And the fans are starting to boo. Maris only has, including this time, three times at bat, and unless the Yankees get a rally, that’s all he’ll have to try and get number sixty-one on the year. The windup, the pitch, low, ball two. That one was in the dirt. And the boos get louder. Two balls, no strikes on Roger Maris. Here’s the windup, fastball, HIT DEEP TO RIGHT, THIS COULD BE IT, WAY BACK THERE, HOLY COW, HE DID IT, SIXTY-ONE for Maris! They’re having a fight for the ball out there. Holy cow.”
Narrator: Baseball, America’s Pastime. The days of Spring and summer are here and in the hallowed halls of Yankee Stadium, we have seen some of the all-time greats take the field. Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle, Yogi Berra, Whitey Ford, Joe DiMaggio, Lou Gherig, Reggie Jackson, Derek Jeter, Dave Winfield, Bernie Williams, Alex Rodriguez, Don Mattingly and of course Roger Maris with so many others throughout the years who have become legendary.
(The footage shows all of these players in action hitting home runs, making spectacular catches or striking batters out.)
Narrator: In New York Yankee lore, they build champions.
(The scene comes back to show all the 40 different pennants they have won from 1921 up until 2009, seeing so many of their teams celebrating after World Series wins….)
Narrator: But in this magical place is another set of stars that are ready to grab their moment and spot in EAW lore by becoming legends.
(The footage now switches to Andrea Valentine, TLA, The Visual Prophet, Myles, Andre Walker, Harper Lee, The Haircare Kings, Donovan Duke, Charlie Marr and Jon Kelton.)
Narrator: Champions looking to continue paving their way to Las Vegas but in New York, they must first walk onto the field like so many before them and play not until the final out, but the final count. Then there are those who seek to dethrone them, hungry Elitists that are ready to make their mark as well and take their place in history amongst the immortals, they want to be the next Roger Maris.
(It now shows Cameron Ella Ava, Adam Lucas, Cage, Brian Daniels, Scott Diamond, Ximena Velazquez and then footage of the Grand Rampage from last year.)
Narrator: It has been a long season. So many have come, like those players called up from the minor leagues, others have gone, down to injury or lack of success, the painful road to Pain For Pride is a very taxing and arduous one where many simply do not make it.
(Various footage throughout the season so far is played.)
Narrator: But this season is special, #EAW15 has brought the classics back, the modern era and combined have given us dream matches, those that we would never have thought to see but are watching them in our very eyes right here in Yankee Stadium, they say the past paves the way for the future, but the past wants their spotlight back.
(Myles is shown holding the EAW World Championship while Brian Daniels looks on with a smile on his face, the two are then shown clashing, beating each other down. Andre Walker holds up the Specialists Championship only for Scott Diamond to appear, as both men are now eye to eye ready for war. ARIA, Usagi Senshi and Mary S. Atlas are displayed in their various in ring poses and action against other opponents as the footage then transitions to the Queen’s Court of Cleopatra, Amber Keys and Madison Kaline standing together in unison in all of their glory. Finally The Visual Prophet with the EAW World Heavyweight Championship smiles and winks but that quickly turns into a growl as he is faced by the challenge of the very dangerous Cage who is seen bleeding and having his arm raised in victory.)
Narrator: But not all is about the past, for while the present itself has established stars and those who will become World Champions, we tend to forget the future, and like in baseball, its farm system is what will be the key to an organization’s success. Many started in the New Era Classic, but only four of the brightest stars remain and the final two will emerge.
(It cuts to Joso pointing at himself with various footage of his matches in the tournament. Then it shows Aurora Monroe posing and smiling, showing off her physique before dropping an opponent transitioning to Harley Lewis winking before having his hand raised and finishing with Caroline waving and doing a cartwheel.)
Narrator: But the lifeblood of any sporting event its the rivalries, when the Boston Red Sox come to town, the players know it is a special game, and tonight in Yankee Stadium, a magical place that has seen so many of these rivalries unfold, there are special moments that always tear the house down, this is no different, some are out for blood, others for glory and one for the chance to win the Gold Rush, but all of them will end in violence.
(TLA is shown holding up the Answers World Championship but turns around to see Adam Lucas facing him, it then transitions to their feud throughout the last month laying each other out. The footage switches to Xander Payne storming out after SOSA Henderson who is ready for him, they start to brawl with each other as it changes to Xander taking SOSA out and then SOSA taking Xander out. We then see Hikari Kanno smiling with Miku Sakai in the background laughing, flipping the bird, their abilities in action as it turns to IDOL-GUN beating up their opponents tonight in attacks in the ring and backstage to Ms. Extreme throwing the hair of Hikari on the mat smirking, and then Dr. Bethany Blue holding up the Empress of Elite crown, going back to the footage of the four women brawling on Voltage. Finally it switches to Drake King standing over a bloody Minerva in disgust, then it switches to Minerva attacking Drake King and laying him out before the two are shown glaring at one another.)
Narrator: And as the road to Pain For Pride is paved, two key Championships in the Women’s Division could determine its final course.
(Andrea Valentine is seen holding up the Universal Women’s Championship after she won it, then it has Cameron Ella Ava looking on posing and signaling for the title around her waist. It then switches to Ximena Velazquez going after Harper Lee, but she tries to outsmart her, the final footage is Harper gripping the Specialists Championship in her arms while Ximena looks on in anger.)
Narrator: Yet…. it all culminates into one match, 30 Elitists vowing to be the very best, to get down at the bottom of the ninth with the game tied, two outs and two strikes either swinging for the fences or striking out and losing the game.
(The footage displays Limmy Monaghan, Impact, Theron Nikolas, Jake Smith, Terry Chambers, Chris Elite, Donovan Duke, Charlie Marr, Ryan Wilson, Ronan Malosi, Ruler, Solomon Stane, Amir Yusuf, Ruler, Kirk Redwood, Jay Jerry Johnson, Jonny Airhart, Lucas Knight, Liana DeLion. Shane Gates, Lucas Johnson, Roberto de la Rosa, Abel Atami and Lisa Wren. All of them separately in action…)
Narrator: And you never know what surprises they hold. But tonight, who will hit the homerun? Who will strike out looking? The road to Pain For Pride has begun in Yankee Stadium inside these Field of Dreams and as the great Phil Rizzuto once said… “Let’s Play Ball!”
(The aerial shot of Yankee Stadium is shown yet again as the camera fades….)
EAW: DOCTOR STRANGE: THE MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS PRESENTS…. GRAND RAMPAGE 2022!
(“Casualty” by Mothika plays as The fireworks go off in Yankee Stadium as the sold out crowd stand and cheer in anticipation to one of the biggest events of the year. The camera pans to all the signs and the fans cheer loudly as it lands on Dynasty’s Stew-O, Showdown’s Gavin Kirkland and Voltage’s Persephone…)
Stew-O: THE GRAND RAMPAGE IS HERE AND WELCOME EVERYONE FROM AROUND THE WORLD! I AM STEW-O AND I AM ACCOMPANIED BY THE BEAUTIFUL PERSEPHONE AND OF COURSE THE MAN WITH THE SILVER TONGUE, GAVIN KIRKLAND AND WHAT A NIGHT OF ACTION WE HAVE HERE TONIGHT! I CAN BARELY HEAR MYSELF SPEAK! NEW ERA CLASSIC SEMI-FINALS, WE ALSO HAVE THE GOLD RUSH FINALS AND SIX CHAMPIONSHIP MATCHES INCLUDING FOUR OF THEM ARE WORLD TITLES!
Gavin Kirkland: THAT IS RIGHT AND A LOT IS ON THE LINE TONIGHT! WE WILL SEE THE BLOOD FEUD OF MINERVA TAKING ON DRAKE KING WITH THE GOLD RUSH FINALS AND A TRIP TO THE MAIN EVENT OF PAIN FOR PRIDE! WE HAVE A HUGE TAG TEAM MATCH AND TALK ABOUT HATRED BETWEEN FOUR WOMEN, IDOL-GUN TAKES ON MR. EXTREME AND DR. BETHANY BLUE, I’M REALLY EXCITED FOR THAT ONE!
Persephone: I BET YOU ARE PERV BUT WE ALSO HAVE FOUR WORLD TITLES ON THE LINE, THE INTERWIRE CHAMPIONSHIP, THE SPECIALISTS CHAMPIONSHIP AND TALK ABOUT THE IMPACT THAT THIS OLD FOLKS HOME DRIVE THEY ARE DOING HERE WITH #EAW15 HAS DONE, I MEAN WOW! WE ALSO HAVE THREE OLD BITTIES TAKING ON THREE YOUNG GIRLS THAT NO ONE CARES ABOUT IN SIX WOMAN ACTION AND FINALLY THE GRAND RAMPAGE MATCH! WHO WILL COME OUT ON TOP!? JUST MAKE IT QUICK!
(The fans cheer in anticipation for Grand Rampage, and finally, the camera pans over to the stage.)
(The anticipation continues as the camera lingers on the stage, but after a few seconds, ‘Shock the World’ by Lloyd Banks hits, and needless to say, the New York crowd explodes into cheers. The music continues to play as the crowd cheers in clear disbelief, not having any idea that this was about to go down.)
Stew-O: WHAT?????
Gavin Kirkland: :oh:
Persephone: :francis:
Stew-O: IT’S RONN BANKS!!!! RONN BANKS IS HERE AT GRAND RAMPAGE!!!!
(The crowd’s cheering grows even louder as Ronn Banks finally walks out to the stage, and Ronn Banks already seems to enjoy the reaction from the crowd, as he has a smile on his face looking around the Yankee Stadium’s crowd. Ronn begins making his way down the ramp, but he doesn’t immediately walk to the ring. As he gets towards the bottom of the ramp he approaches the barricade as the fans in that section cheer as loud as they can, and as the camera pans to that section, what’s revealed in the front row is Ronn Banks’ wife Brianna Bankerson, as well as their children. Ronn kisses them, and proceeds to slap hands with the fans also in the front row, high-fiving as many as he can before finally entering the ring. A staff member hands Ronn a microphone, and Ronn takes a few seconds as he looks at the more than ecstatic crowd, before finally beginning to speak.)
Ronn Banks: New York, WELCOME TO GRAND RAMPAGE!
(The crowd begins cheering once again, and the smile doesn’t leave Ronn’s face as he continues speaking.)
Ronn Banks: Come on, I wasn’t going to miss the 15th ever Grand Rampage in my backyard for anything! This is such a big night for EAW, and a show like this is one of the most exciting shows of the entire year! Grand Rampage has always been a major event, and I even returned to the ring at Grand Rampage just one year ago, but this year things are even bigger. This year we’re celebrating EAW history, and we’re doing it here in New York! You all have a very special place in my heart, and honestly it’s even better knowing just how far EAW has come. When EAW once again became its own commodity following the death of AWF back in 2007, it worked its way up to the point of being able to hold its own special free-per-views, and Grand Rampage would be the very first free-per-view EAW hosted on its own back in 2008. That’d be the start of something special, and now here we are fifteen seasons later celebrating an anniversary year, and it’s only right EAW is doing so in its home city!
Ronn Banks: New York, New Jersey, it’s all the same. They both carry the same level of attitude and grit. They both carry the mentality that has molded me and so many other Elitists from the same area into the stars they are today, and it’ll continue to do so for generations to come. This place has helped this company become what it is. Some of the very best to ever do it have come from New York, and it’s only right that this is where the 15th Grand Rampage event is held, featuring some of the very best from EAW’s past, EAW’s present, and the future of the company! This is going to be a show none of you will ever forget, so-
(‘We’re In Hell’ by SycAmour’ suddenly cuts off Ronn Banks, and while the crowd once again explodes into cheers, Ronn can’t help but be annoyed after being interrupted like this. Jake Smith does not take long at all to make his presence known, walking out wearing his Unified Tag Team Championship, as well as holding a microphone in his hand. He has a smirk on his face, and begins making his way to the ring as the crowd continues cheering, clearly happy about Jake’s appearance and interested in seeing what this is all about.)
(Jake Smith enters the ring, walking up to Ronn Banks as the crowd quiets down, eager to hear what it is Jake has to say.)
Jake Smith: Welcome back.
(The crowd cheers once again, but Ronn remains silent, still waiting to see what it is Jake is really here for.)
Jake Smith: Ronn, I’m just going to be honest with you. I’ve been waiting for this moment for a very long time. See even before this whole #EAW15 thing that’s gone on all throughout 2022, I’ve built up a reputation for myself after beating Hall of Famers, legends, all sorts of veterans and sending them packing, and after what I did at Shock Value and what Chris and I are about to do to the High Rollerz, that reputation has only gotten bigger. I’ve been a Legend Killer, and this all started almost two years ago back when I was on Dynasty beating Vic Vendetta at Road to Redemption. Since then I’ve continued to build that reputation against names like Tyler Parker and more recently Jacob Senn, and it was only ever a matter of time before another name from the past found their way onto my radar. I’ve proven myself as someone capable of hanging with whoever is put in front me. I’ve been able to conquer them all, and there wouldn’t be any better way for me to close out my season than defeating the legend of legends on the heels of winning Grand Rampage, all before winning a World Championship at Pain for Pride.
(Ronn Banks just looks at Jake, and he clearly isn’t very amused by Jake’s decision to interrupt him during a moment like this. Ronn is annoyed, and finally begins to speak again after waiting in almost disbelief.)
Ronn Banks: Really? This is really what you interrupted such a special moment for, to try and get yourself over at my expense by challenging me to a match? Don’t do this. Don’t waste everyone’s time for something stupid like that. I’m not Vic Vendetta or Tyler Parker, I’m not out here because I have plans to face you. I’m out here because this is a historic Grand Rampage, and it’s one I wouldn’t miss for the world. I’m really not going to entertain any of this so you wasted your time coming out here. Worry about the Unified Tag Team Championships. Worry about the Grand Rampage match. You clearly have enough on your plate already and you’d be far better off just focusing on that. I’m not interested in a match against you. It’s not worth my time at all, so if you want to keep trying to validate that “legend killer” title do it against the people already gunning for you and your spot. If you want an autograph I’ll be holding a signing at Times Square on Monday where I’ll be able to talk to all of my fans one on one, so until then fuck off.
(Jake Smith doesn’t look too happy hearing this, but Ronn Banks turns back towards the crowd, putting a smile back on his face as he continues.)
Ronn Banks: Anyways I’m honestly not about to let Jake ruin this, you don’t deserve that. This is the fifteenth Grand Rampage in EAW history, and we’re going to enjoy it. There’s a lot of very talented men and women in the back that are about to put on some fantastic matches. I have no doubts that you’re all about to be treated to a ton of Match of the Year candidates, because that’s what-
Jake Smith: Ronn, do you really want to look like a coward in front of your wife Brianna, or your beautiful kids?
(Ronn Banks stops in his tracks as he slowly turns back towards Jake, and the crowd quickly quiets down after what Jake just said.)
Jake Smith: Come on. Imagine what they’re thinking about you right now, ducking a challenge like this right in front of them and thousands of others.
(Up until this moment Ronn was only annoyed that Jake would interrupt him and ruin what was a really special moment for the fans in New York tonight, but at this point it is safe to say that Ronn is past the point of being annoyed now. Ronn walks back up to Jake, and at this point he is clearly pissed off, but despite this Jake doesn’t back off.)
Ronn Banks: You just made the biggest mistake of your life. I’ll see you in two weeks, at Battle of Egypt.
(Immediately the crowd explodes into cheers as Ronn Banks drops his microphone, and there is a staredown between the Hall of Famer and the Unified Tag Team Champion, as tensions have already risen.)
Stew-O: WHAT AN ANNOUNCEMENT! In two weeks Ronn Banks will be returning to the ring for the first time since his match against Andre Walker at an Aussie Summer Christmas Spectacular, and it’ll be happening against Jake Smith at Battle of Egypt!
Gavin Kirkland: That just sounds like a great match! It’d be a thousand times better if Limmy was in Jake’s position, but this works.
Persephone: What? You mean Rex right?
Stew-O: Well while Gavin and Persephone argue, it’s safe to say that all the fans here in the Yankee Stadium tonight love the sound of Ronn Banks and Jake Smith facing each other at Battle of Egypt, and I can’t help but agree with all of the people cheering right now! It’s going to be a fantastic match, but after provoking Ronn the way he did, I’m not too sure if Jake is really ready for what may happen!
(‘Shock the World’ begins to play once again, and after a few seconds Jake Smith finally begins to leave the ring, leaving Ronn Banks as Jake finally got what he wanted. As Jake walks up the ramp Ronn stares at him, still having not let go of what Jake said, before finally turning his attention to his family sitting at the front row who had to hear all of it. Ronn Banks makes his way over to them, and as Ronn talks with his wife and kids, Grand Rampage fades from ringside.)
(Grand Rampage opens up and reveals the first match graphic of the night.)
(The camera cuts to the center of the ring where Bella Braxton is standing smiling, ready to announce the first match of Grand Rampage.)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen, our opening contest for Grand Rampage 15 is a special SIX WOMAN TRIOS MATCH! Scheduled for…ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
(“Caterpillar” by Royce da 5’9” and Eminem starts to play as the combination of Amber Keys, Cleopatra, and Madison Kaline: The Queen’s Court, enter the arena to loud boos from the crowd. The Court doesn’t care as they head to the ring with determined looks on their faces and a showing of strong solidarity.)
Bella Braxton: Introducing first! Making their way to the ring at a total combined weight of 383 pounds! Here is the trio of “THE DIRTI DIVA” AMBER KEYS, “THE QUEEN OF THE NILE” CLEOPATRA, AND “THE MISTRESS OF DEATH” MADISON KALINE! THE QUEEN’S COURT!
James Peters: Here we go! What a way to start off the Grand Rampage with the Queen’s Court heading to the ring for six lady tag team action. This match has been building up for a while now and even though there have been a few changes to this match, this match is going to be good.
Persephone: No it isn’t! If this match had a movie title, it would be called “Attack of the Living Dinosaurs”. Shit. Why do we have to start with these old battle axes? It’s just going to make the night as long and slow as those bitties are walking to the ring right now.
Rich Russillo: Make all the jokes you want, but the Queen’s Court has come back with a vengeance. Three former World Champions and EAW Hall of Famers are here to make sure that these new rising stars are going to take and take away the throne that they came back to sit back in after years away. Will they finish the job tonight in this contest?
(The Queen’s Court enters the ring with the crowd still booing them as their music fades away. They take their side of the ring as “Kimarigoto” by BRATS starts to play throughout the arena as The Ice Aces and Mary S. Atlas enter the arena to almost deafening cheers from the crowd. They all have smiles on their faces, but their eyes show how ready they are to fight as they head to the ring.)
Bella Braxton: Introducing their opponents! At a total combined weight of 382 pounds! Here is the trio of USAGI SENSHI AND ARIA, “THE ICE ACES” AND MARY S. ATLAS!
Rich Russillo: Here comes the opposition. Now if you didn’t notice that this team has had a little bit of a change up at the last minute, all this occurred on the last Voltage. Thanks to an attack from the Queen’s Court, Becca Black was taken completely out of the equation and we hope she is alright. As for Diamond Dixon…
Persephone: Let me finish that for you. One dumb bitch thought the other dumb bitches were a waste of time so she completely ditched the team. I don’t blame the bitch even though seeing those old bitches get beat up some more is always a joy. Instead, we get the Ice Jokers.
James Peters: Will you stop that? One moment Mary S. Atlas thought she might have to fight 3 against 1 tonight, but by the grace of fate, ARIA and Usagi Senshi were in the right place at the right time and now we have a 6 woman tag once again.
Persephone: Goody for us. We have the dinosaurs facing off against the team who if they were anymore nauseatingly sweet, we’d all puke.
Rich Russillo: Mary thinks the Queen’s Court has been nothing but a pain in the ass causing way too much trouble on Voltage. She hopes to knock the court off their pedestals with the help of the Ice Aces. Will they get the job done tonight? We’re about to find out.
(The Ice Aces and Mary enter the ring and Mary stomps her way straight to the Queen’s Court. ARIA and Usagi are trying to hold Mary back and the referee is trying to keep the two teams apart as the referee calls for the bell.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
James Peters: Bell has rung and we are kicking off Grand Rampage right now. Mary S. Atlas looks to start this match and she wants Cleopatra in the worst possible way. No love lost between those two, but Cleopatra goes to the outside and Madison Kaline elects to start this match for her team and here we go!
Rich Russillo: Lockup in the center of the ring and Mary takes advantage with a side headlock and whips Madison over and grounds her. The headlock is tight, but Madison manages to kip up back to her feet and get free.
Persephone: You have to love medical technology of today. She might have titanium hips or something that makes her body feel like it did 50 years ago.
Rich Russillo: Mary goes to get Madison, but Madison quickly gets herself in the ropes. Madison is laughing as the referee holds Mary back and she gets away from the ropes. This gets Mary more annoyed and she breaks free from the referee.
James Peters: BUT SHE DOES NOT GET FREE FROM THAT SLAP! MADISON JUST SLAPS MARY IN THE FACE! MARY DIDN’T LIKE THAT ONE BIT! MARY JUST GRABBED THE WRIST OF MADISON AND BRINGS HER IN FOR A CLOTHESLINE!
Rich Russillo: Madison clobbered and Mary drags her into her corner as she goes for the tag!
(TAG!)
Rich Russillo: Usagi Senshi tags into the match. Mary and Senshi high five and lock hands before DROPPING A DOUBLE ELBOW INTO MADISON’S CHEST! Madison now sits back up and SENSHI JUST DROPS MADISON AGAIN WITH A KICK RIGHT ACROSS THE CHEST!
Persephone: Be careful! Kick her any harder and her ancient implants will explode. Do they stay silicone when they get to their ages?
James Peters: I don’t know. How about you tell us in a couple years what the result is.
Persephone: It’s too damn early for your crap. Don’t you start with that shit, you dumb bastard.
James Peters: :mjlol:
Rich Russillo: Madison holding her chest in pain as Senshi brings her back to her feet and whips her to the ropes, but Madison counters and sends Senshi to the ropes.
James Peters: AMBER KEYS JUST KNEED SENSHI IN THE SMALL OF HER BACK! SUCH UNDERHANDED TACTICS FROM THE QUEEN’S COURT EARLY ON!
Persephone: Damn referee must have cataracts as bad as the Queen’s Court if he completely missed that one. If Amber took any more time to deliver that knee, she would be moving in slow motion.
Rich Russillo: Senshi staggers away from the ropes AND MADISON CATCHES HER IN THE FACE WITH A DROPKICK! SENSHI IS DOWN AND MADISON GOES FOR THE FIRST COVER OF THE MATCH!!
ONNNNNNNEEEEE!
TWWWWWOOOOOO!!
James Peters: SENSHI KICKS OUT AT TWO! It’s going to take more than that at this point in the matchup. Madison drags Senshi to the ropes and goes for the tag!
(TAG!)
Rich Russillo: NOW CLEOPATRA CHOOSES TO ENTER THE MATCH! Madison and Cleopatra take down Senshi with a little double team action of their own with the double suplex.
Persephone: Look at Mary over in the corner. She’s either had a mental breakdown or she has to go to the bathroom really bad. Either way, she looks like an idiot bouncing around like that.
James Peters: She wants the tag. She wants to fight Cleopatra and rip her head off. Mary is that pissed and that anxious to get into this match. Cleo hits the ropes and DROPS THE LEG ACROSS THE THROAT!
Persephone: Would that dumb bitch Mary settle for just ripping off the hair? That way we can see what color the roots really are because we all know she ain’t a natural whatever the fuck her hair color is right now.
Rich Russillo: Cleo brings Senshi back to her feet, BUT SENSHI GETS FREE WITH A JAWBREAKER! CLEO STUNNED AND SENSHI RUNS OVER AND TAGS IN MARY!
(TAG!)
James Peters: MARY IS BACK IN AND SHE GOES STRAIGHT FOR CLEOPATRA! BUT CLEO QUICKLY GETS INTO THE ROPES! NO CONTACT MADE! LISTEN TO THE CROWD! THEY DO NOT LIKE THAT AT ALL! CLEO HAS AN EVIL GRIN ON HER FACE AS SHE MAKES THE TAG!
(TAG!)
Persephone: What a treat! The Ancient Bitch tags in the Dirti Old Lady Amber Keys. At her age, it sounds like the Keys are starting to rust. :mjlol:
Rich Russillo: Amber goes for a clothesline, BUT MARY DUCKS IT AND THROWS A FOREARM RIGHT INTO CLEOPATRA’S FACE AND KNOCKING HER OFF THE APRON TO THE LOUD CHEERS FROM THE CROWD!
James Peters: MARY TURNS AROUND AND AMBER GOES FOR ANOTHER CLOTHESLINE, BUT MARY DUCKS IT AGAIN! MARY ROLLS INTO HER CORNER AND TAGS BACK IN USAGI SENSHI!
(TAG!)
Rich Russillo: Senshi back in the ring after a brief rest, BUT AMBER IS TIRED OF WAITING! SHE GRABS SENSHI BY THE HAIR AND SNAPMARES HER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING! SENSHI DOWN AND THE POINT OF AMBER’S BOOT GOES RIGHT INTO SENSHI’S SPINE!
Persephone: But really got more damage on that one? The bitch kicked or Granny Glass Bones doing the kicking. Geez, this match is such a pain in the ass. Can’t we just hurry it up or just end it right now?
James Peters: No, Seph. We can’t end it now. This has been a good match so far. Amber Keys has the advantage and she drags Senshi over to the ropes. AMBER STANDS ON THE THROAT OF SENSHI WHILE HOLDING THE ROPES! COME ON, REF! BLATANT CHOKE BY AMBER AND THE REF STARTS THE COUNT!
Referee: (off-mic) BREAK THE CHOKE, AMBER! BREAK IT NOW! ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIV–
Rich Russillo: Amber breaks the choke on four before risking disqualification on five. She didn’t like the thought of breaking the hold, SO SHE KICKS USAGI RIGHT IN THE FACE! THAT COULD HAVE BROKEN HER NOSE RIGHT THERE!
Persephone: Not good enough. Need the bloodshed to be by the bucketfuls. Also, as much as I hate these old bitties competing in the ring. That Senshi skank does have a very kickable face. Actually, all of them have the face like a soccer ball that’s waiting to be kicked. Except the older team have extra botox and collagen in theirs.
James Peters: Amber pulls Senshi up by the hair and drags her into her team’s corner. AMBER DELIVERS THOSE KNIFE EDGE CHOPS ACROSS THE CHEST! THAT COULD CRACK A RIB OR SOMETHING! SENSHI TRIES TO FALL, BUT AMBER PULLS HER BACK UP AND STARTS CHOKING HER WITH HER BOOT ACROSS THE THROAT!
Referee: (off-mic) COME ON, AMBER! ENOUGH OF THE CHOKING! ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIV-
Rich Russillo: Amber once again breaks the illegal choke on four. Senshi is sitting on the mat, but Amber is not giving her a moment’s rest. Amber sits Senshi on the top turnbuckle for tagging in Madison Kaline.
(TAG!)
James Peters: Madison quickly scrambles up to the top rope and locks the head of Senshi. BUT SENSHI IS FIGHTING IT! BUT SHE IS IN THE WRONG CORNER TO FIGHT! CLEO AND AMBER ARE ON THE APRON HALTING SENSHI’S PROGRESS!
Persephone: They’re jealous they aren’t as young as the other team anymore. They’re all just a bunch of petty bitches covered in way too much plastic surgery.
Rich Russillo: The numbers game was too much and Madison has control and TAKES USAGI BACK DOWN TO THE MAT! BEAUTIFUL SUPERPLEX FROM THE TOP ROPE BY THE MISTRESS OF DEATH! MADISON MOVES INTO THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!!
TTTTHHHHHHHHHHRRREEEE–
James Peters: USAGI KICKS OUT RIGHT BEFORE THE THREE! STRENGTH BEING SHOWN RIGHT NOW BY THIS RISING STAR! MADISON JUST LAYING LEFTS AND RIGHTS INTO HER FACE! SENSHI IS DOING EVERYTHING SHE CAN TO BLOCK THOSE SHOTS!
Persephone: Those are just a side effect and involuntary muscle spasms after that superplex! The landing on that fragile old back of hers must have short circuited something.
Rich Russillo: You don’t like the Queen’s Court do you? You have had nothing nice to say about them or honestly anybody in this match.
Persephone: I just enjoy seeing stuck up old women and overly peppy bitches get the shit beat out of them. Can we get Veena Adams drafted to Voltage so we can see her beat the shit out of the Old Woman Brigade every week. That would be awesome.
James Peters: Gawd, I hope not. Madison brings Senshi back to her feet and whips her to the ropes. BUT SENSHI HOLDS ONTO THE ROPES! MADISON RUNS IN FOR A CLOTHESLINE BUT SENSHI DUCKS IT AND BACK BODY DROPS MADISON OVER THE TOP ROPE AND MADISON CRASHES TO THE FLOOR BELOW!
Rich Russillo: MADISON LANDED HARD AND THE REST OF THE QUEEN’S COURT GO TO CHECK ON MADISON TO MAKE SURE SHE’S ALRIGHT, BUT DURING THAT TIME, SENSHI WALKS OVER AND TAGS IN THE HIGH FLIER OF THE ICE ACES, ARIA!
(TAG!)
James Peters: ARIA ENTERS THE MATCH FOR THE FIRST TIME AND SHE NOT GOING TO WASTE ANY TIME! ARIA RUNS FULL SPEED AND SHE FLIES THROUGH THE ROPES! SUICIDE DIVE BY ARIA TAKES OUT ALL THREE MEMBERS OF THE QUEEN’S COURT! LISTEN TO THE CROWD! THEY LOVED SEEING THE QUEEN’S COURT GET TAKEN OUT!
Persephone: Unless those old fucks are taken out on stretchers or wheelchairs, I really could give two shits less. Actually, I think the time is coming closer. I see vultures flying above the ring.
James Peters: Will you quit, Seph. They are respected members of the EAW Hall of Fame. Their attitudes don’t leave much to be desired, but all three are amazing competitors in the ring. Right now ARIA brings the legal opponent, Madison back to her feet AND WHIPS HER BACK FIRST INTO THE RING STEPS!
Rich Russillo: ALL IS FAIR IN LOVE AND WAR! ARIA IS BRINGING THE FIGHT IN THIS MATCH! SHE HAD AN AMAZING SHOWING AT SHOCK VALUE AND SHE IS LOOKING TO HAVE ANOTHER STARMAKING PERFORMANCE TONIGHT!
James Peters: ARIA brings Madison back up to her feet and rolls her back in the ring at the referee’s count of seven and ARIA closely follows. ARIA drags Madison to the center of the ring before hitting the ropes again. ARIA JUMPS ONTO THE MIDDLE ROPES AND CATCHES MADISON WITH AN AMAZING SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT! ARIA HOOKS THE LEG FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNNEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWWOO!!
THHHHHRRREEEEEEEEE-
Rich Russillo: MADISON GETS THE SHOULDER UP AT TWO! GREAT SHOW OF OFFENSE BY ARIA! NOW ARIA WHIPS MADISON INTO HER TEAM’S CORNER AND SHE TAGS HER PARTNER USAGI SENSHI BACK INTO THE MATCH!
(TAG!)
James Peters: Senshi back into the match and both of the Ice Ace’s grab hold of Madison’s head AND RUN FORWARD PLANTING MADISON WITH A DOUBLE BULLDOG! MADISON GOES FACE FIRST INTO THE CANVAS! USAGI IN THE RING AND WAITING FOR MADISON TO GET BACK TO HER FEET!
Persephone: I don’t know if she can. She didn’t bring her cane or walker to the ring with her so she might be stuck like that. Her partners really can’t help because by the time they got back into the ring, they would have lost the match three times.
Rich Russillo: Madison Kaline back to her feet and SENSHI GOES FOR THE FOREARM BUT MADISON DUCKS IT! BUT SENSHI CAUGHT THE FOREARM ON THE OTHER SIDE! MADISON STAGGERED BUT STILL ON HER FEET!
James Peters: USAGI NOW WITH A EUROPEAN UPPERCUT DAZING MADISON EVEN MORE! USAGI FIRES OFF A SPINNING BACKFIST BEFORE FINISHING OFF THE SET WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK! THAT’S THE ELITE COMBO FROM USAGI SENSHI! MADISON MANAGED TO FALL INTO THE ROPES AND THAT HELPS HER STAY ON HER FEET!
Persephone: Smartest thing she’s done since she came back. Only one thing can top that and that’s when she leaves and never comes back. When she does, I hope she takes the other senile bitches with her and we switch them out for Sexy Rexy.
James Peters: USAGI BACK ON THE ATTACK WITH MULTIPLE HEADBUTTS TO MADISON KALINE! MADISON IS EVEN MORE CONFUSED THAN NORMAL AND SHE MIGHT BE OUT ON HER FEET AFTER THOSE REPEATED HEADBUTTS!
Rich Russillo: Senshi is a little dazed herself as she drags Madison back to her corner and she tags Mary S. Atlas back into the match.
(TAG!)
Rich Russillo: Mary in the ring as Senshi takes down Madison by the legs. SENSHI FALLS BACK WITH A SLINGSHOT AND IT SENDS MADISON RIGHT INTO A SLINGBLADE FROM MARY S. ATLAS! MARY GOT ALL OF THAT AND SHE GOES FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNEEEEE!
TWWWWWWOOOOOOO!!
TTHHHHRRREEEEEEEE!!
James Peters: MADISON KICKS OUT AT TWO! SHE HAS BEEN IN THERE A LONG TIME AND SHE NEEDS TO MAKE A TAG AS SOON AS SHE CAN TO GET ONE OF HER TEAMMATES IN THERE. MARY BRINGS MADISON BACK TO HER FEET AND COMES FROM BEHIND HER AND DROPS HER ON THE BACK OF HER HEAD WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX!
Persephone: I think she’s been in there so long that she might have forgotten where she is or where her partners are. Poor thing. If she would quit dying her hair to get rid of the gray, she might have some of her brains left.
Rich Russillo: Madison slowly back to her feet, BUT MARY IS FULL OF FIRE AND SHE TAKES DOWN MADISON ONCE AGAIN WITH THE EXPLODER SUPLEX! MARY PULLS UP MADISON AGAIN AND WHIPS HER TO THE ROPES BEFORE DELIVERING A CLOTHESLINE SENDING MADISON DOWN SITTING ON THE MAT!
James Peters: MADISON IN PRONE POSITION SITTING IN THE CORNER AND SHE BACKS UP AND DELIVERS A STINKFACE TO MADISON KALINE! HOW HUMILIATING FOR MADISON!
Persephone: What the hell!?! That is absolutely DISGUSTING!! Out of everything she could have done, she chooses that? Stupid nasty bitch. Steel chair would’ve been better.
Rich Russillo: Actually, I can think of many people who wouldn’t mind—
Persephone: I swear to Gawd. If you finish that sentence you will not live to see another day. You old perverted bastard!
Rich Russillo: :mjcry:
(TAG!)
James Peters: If you two weren’t so busy flirting with each other, you would have noticed that Mary has tagged ARIA back into this match. Madison pulled up to her feet AND IS VICTIM TO A DOUBLE KNIFE EDGE CHOP FROM ARIA AND MARY!
Rich Russillo: MADISON’S EYES WIDENED AFTER THAT SHOT TO THE CHEST AS ARIA WHIPS MADISON INTO THE OPPOSITE CORNER! ARIA BACKS UP AND LOOK AT THE ACROBATICS FROM ARIA AS SHE HITS THE HANDSPRING ELBOW IN THE CORNER!
James Peters: ARIA FOLLOWS IT UP WITH A BIG BOOT TO MADISON WHO WAS STILL IN THE CORNER! ARIA WITH A KICK THE GUT AND SHE GETS MADISON IN THE AIR! ARIA GOING FOR A FALCON ARROW–
Rich Russillo: BUT MADISON IS ABLE TO GET FREE AND LAND BEHIND ARIA! MADISON WITH A SCHOOLBOY ROLLUP! MADISON LOOKING TO STEAL IT HERE!!
ONNNNNNNEEEE!!
TWWWWWOOOOO!!
THHHHRRRRRRREEE–
Persephone: Of course that ARIA chick kicks out. She calls herself a detective, but she has yet to crack the case on how to win or lose this match and put us all out of our misery. Come on bitches, speed it up a little.
James Peters: ARIA rolled through and made it back to her feet a little faster and she CATCHES MADISON IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD WITH A SHINING WIZARD! MADISON BACK DOWN TO THE MAT!
Rich Russillo: ARIA is in firm control of this match as she delivers a few kicks to the back and spine of Madison. ARIA heads back to her corner to go for the tag–
James Peters: CLEOPATRA SNUCK BEHIND THEM AND PULLS THEIR FEET OUT FROM UNDER THEM! MARY AND SENSHI CRASH HARD AGAINST THE APRON AND TO THE FLOOR AND ARIA CAN’T BELIEVE IT!
Persephone: Of course these old ladies go with one of the oldest tricks in the book. A trick that these younger dumb bitches probably old read about in books or Wikipedia or something. I guess the classics work. Shame that the Queen’s Court doesn’t work as well as they used to with all the rusty parts they have.
James Peters: ARIA IS YELLING AT CLEOPATRA FROM INSIDE THE RING, BUT THAT MIGHT BE A FATAL MISTAKE BECAUSE SHE LEFT MADISON ALL BY HERSELF AND SHE IS CRAWLING TO HER CORNER TO MAKE THE TAG!
(TAG!)
Rich Russillo: THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT SHE DOES AND TAGS AMBER BACK INTO THIS MATCH! ARIA HAS NO IDEA WHAT’S GOING ON BEHIND HER THANKS TO CLEOPATRA!
James Peters: SHE KNOWS NOW! AMBER PULLS ARIA BACK BY THE HAIR AND PLANTS HER WITH AN INVERTED DDT! QUEEN’S COURT SHOWED HOW EXPERIENCE CAN TURN THE TIDE OF A MATCH IN THE MATTER OF A SECOND!
Rich Russillo: ARIA IS DOWN AND AMBER IS NOW CLIMBING TO THE TOP ROPE! IT’S PLAIN TO SEE THAT WHATEVER AMBER HAS IN MIND IS NOT GOOD FOR ARIA!
James Peters: AMBER JUMPS OFF THE TOP ROPE AND DROPS THE KNEE ACROSS THE CHEST OF ARIA! SHE GOT ALL OF THAT AND AMBER GOES FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOO!!
TTHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRREEE!!
Rich Russillo: ARIA KICKS OUT RIGHT BEFORE THE THREE! THAT WAS A DANGEROUS KNEE DROP FROM AMBER AND ARIA KICKS OUT! SUCH DETERMINATION BEING SHOWN BY THE YOUNG ARIA! THAT’S WHY SHE’S ONE OF EAW’S RISING STARS!
Persephone: That’s also why she could have a broken rib or a collapsed lung. That’s also why the fragile Amber Rusty Keys could have a broken knee for that dumbass move she did from the top. Somebody call the paramedics and have them ready on standby.
James Peters: Amber brings ARIA back to her feet and throws her into the corner. SHE’S BITING! AMBER IS BITING ARIA! AMBER IS TRYING TO TAKE A BITE OUT OF CRIME!
Persephone: Never say that line ever again. It makes you sound like more of an idiot than you usually do.
(TAG!)
James Peters: Cleopatra is back in the match AND ARIA IS TAKEN DOWN WITH A DOUBLE CLOTHESLINE! CLEO PICKS ARIA UP AND HAS HER IN THE AIR FOR A MOMENT BEFORE DROPPING ARIA WITH THE SUPLEX POWERSLAM!
Persephone: You know she learned that move from King Tut. Read the history books or Google. It’s right there. Explains so much about how old Cleopatra truly is. I think we’ll see her on a few pieces of hieroglyphics when we go to Egypt. :mjlol:
Rich Russillo: CLEOPATRA JUST GAVE A WINK AND A WAVE TO MARY, KNOWING THAT MARY CAN’T GET HER HANDS ON HER! MARY CAN’T TAKE IT AND SHE TRYING TO GET INTO THE RING!
James Peters: THE REFEREE IS TRYING TO GET MARY BACK OUT ON THE APRON! CLEOPATRA DRAGS ARIA TO THE CORNER AND WE HAVE A THREE ON ONE BEATDOWN ON ARIA! TURN AROUND, REF!
Rich Russillo: MADISON HAS THE NECK OF ARIA WHILE CLEO AND AMBER AND KICKING THE CRAP OUT OF POOR ARIA! AMBER EXITS THE RING AND MADISON SHOVES ARIA DOWN WHEN THE REF FINALLY TURNS AROUND! THE REF MISSED ALL OF THE DIRTY TACTICS!
Persephone: Why did the stupid bitch try to get in the ring in the first place? She should have known something like that would happen and now her new friend is getting the shit beat out of her thanks to Mary. No wonder that bitch can’t keep friends.
Rich Russillo: Will you stop? Mary wants to beat the shit out of Cleopatra badly and that isn’t good for Cleo. Now that the referee’s attention is back on the match, Cleo miraculously starts to follow the rolls and make a legal tag!
(TAG!)
James Peters: Amber Keys back in the match and SHE JUST PLANTS DOWN ARIA WITH A DDT! ARIA SPIKED ON HER HEAD AND SHE IS DOWN! AMBER BACKS UP INTO THE CORNER AND SHE CROUCHES DOWN! YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS!
Persephone: The arthritis in her body is acting up? Meaning she is in such extreme pain that she is about to pass out meaning that match is over and we can move on with this crappy show? Hurry up and finish this match, you overly positive skank!
James Peters: NO!
Rich Russillo: NO!
Persephone: You guys are such dicks. I hate you both so much. Rexy, come back and save me from these idiots!
Rich Russillo: IT MEANS AMBER KEYS IS LOOKING FOR THE AMBER ALERT SPEAR! ARIA IS BACK TO HER FEET AND HERE COMES THE SPEAR!, BUT ARIA AVOIDS AT THE LAST SECOND! AMBER QUICKLY TURNS AROUND AND HOISTS AMBER ONTO HER SHOULDERS–
James Peters: JUDGING STRIKE! ARIA COUNTERED WITH HER VERSION OF THE DEATH VALLEY DRIVER! THAT CAME OUT OF NOWHERE! ALMOST A LAST DITCH EFFORT BY ARIA BUT IT WORKED! NOW BOTH WOMEN ARE DOWN!
Persephone: ONE! TWO! SIX! NINE! TEN! They are both down! Ring the bell! This match is over! Yay! Shit show is over!
James Peters: Will you shut up? The referee has started the count and they both are slowly starting to move. They desperately need to make the tags and get out of the match before anything worse can happen.
Rich Russillo: Both women are dragging themselves to their respective corners to bring in one of their fresh teammates. Amber is a little bit faster to the punch as she makes it to her corner first and reaches out for the tag….
(TAG!)
James Peters: CLEOPATRA GETS THE TAG AND GRABS THE LEG OF ARIA! ARIA FIGHTING IT AND TRYING WITH EVERYTHING IN HER POWER TO MAKE IT TO HER CORNER! ARIA BACK TO HER FEET—
Rich Russillo: ENZUIGIRI! ARIA CAUGHT CLEOPATRA IN THE SIDE OF HEAD WITH HER FOOT AND ARIA CONTINUES TO CRAWL TO HER CORNER! SHE IS A FINGERTIP AWAY! CAN SHE MAKE THE TAG?
(TAG!)
Persephone: Oh great. She made it and got the tag. This match must continue. Yay for us.
James Peters: YOU’RE DAMN RIGHT SHE GOT THE TAG AND SHE TAGGED IN MARY! MARY IN LIKE A HOUSE OF FIRE AND SHE RUNS STRAIGHT FOR CLEOPATRA! NOW LET’S GET IT ON!
Rich Russillo: SPEAR BY MARY AND SHE IS TAKING IT TO CLEOPATRA! RIGHTS AND LEFTS BEING THROWN! SHE CAN’T TAKE IT ANYMORE! SHE IS TAKING OUT ALL HER AGGRESSION AND ANGER OUT ON CLEOPATRA! THE CROWD COULDN’T BE ANY HAPPIER THAT MARY FINALLY GOT CLEOPATRA! THEY ARE GOING CRAZY!
Persephone: Yeah, I can hear them. They can shut up at any time now. Now Mary Mary leaves one old bitch and delivers a dropkick to the other old bitches ankles and sends them both to the floor. Too bad those prune faces didn’t land on their heads.
Rich Russillo: Mary turns her attention back to Cleopatra, who made it back to her feet, and MARY HITS CLEO WITH A BEAUTIFUL ROUNDHOUSE KICK, TAKING CLEO BACK DOWN. BUT MARY IS NOT THROUGH! SHE PULLS CLEO BACK TO HER FEET BY THE HAIR!
James Peters: Cleo whipped into the turnbuckle and Mary goes for a lariat in the corner, BUT CLEO CATCHES HER IN THE CHEEK WITH A RIGHT HAND! CLEO CLIMBS UP TO THE SECOND ROPE AND JUMPS FOR A CROSSBODY–
Rich Russillo: SECTUMSEPRA! CLEOPATRA JUMPED OFF THE SECOND ROPE LOOKING FOR THE CROSSBODY, BUT SHE RAN FLUSH INTO THAT ROLLING ELBOW AND SHE CRASHES AND BURNS AGAINST THE MAT! MARY THINKS SHE’S DONE ENOUGH AND GOES FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!!
TTHHHHHHHRRRREEEEEE–
James Peters: AMBER BREAKS UP THE PIN RIGHT BEFORE THREE! AND HERE COMES THE ICE ACES AND MADISON KALINE ALL IN THE RING AND WE HAVE A SIX WAY FIGHT HERE AT YANKEE STADIUM!
Persephone: Holy shit! The old relics are going crazy in there. Too much fish oil in their diet! They weren’t handcuffed to their walkers. That means somebody at the home is getting fired tonight. Sucks to be that person.
Rich Russillo: What a brawl we have in there right now! A CLOTHESLINE SENDS SENSHI AND KALINE OUT THE FLOOR! AMBER RUNNING IN TO CATCH ARIA, BUT ARIA PULLS DOWN THE TOP SENDING KEYS TUMBLING TO THE FLOOR!
Persephone: That’s probably because she drank too much prune juice. Now the Dirti Old Lady is on the floor probably plastered beyond repair.
Rich Russillo: What does ARIA have in mind? ARIA HITS THE FAR SIDE ROPES AND RUNS AT FULL SPEED BEFORE LAUNCHING HERSELF OVER THE TOP ROPE AND TAKING EVERYBODY OUT WITH A TOPE CON HILO! BEAUTIFUL MOVE FROM THE YOUNG ARIA!
James Peters: THAT MEANS WE ARE LEFT WITH THE LEGAL LADIES, CLEOPATRA AND MARY, IN THE RING AND THEY ARE THROWING HAYMAKERS AT EACH OTHER TRYING TO GET THE ADVANTAGE! MARY TRIED TO CHANGE IT UP AND GOT FOR AN ELBOW, BUT CLEO DUCKED IT!
Rich Russillo: CLEO WITH A BOOT TO THE GUT AS SHE GRABS HER HEAD AND THEN GRABS THE LEG SETTING UP MARY FOR A FISHERMAN SUPLEX! INSTEAD OF GOING FOR HER USUAL PIN, SHE JUST DROPS DOWN AND PLANTS MARY WITH A FISHERMAN’S BRAINBUSTER! MARY PLANTED ON THE BACK OF HER HEAD!
Persephone: Yeah yeah. Good for grandma. She hit a brainbuster. Now let’s see if she can remember how to make a pinfall to end this match before one of the overly happy bitches turns her brain into tapioca pudding.
Rich Russillo: MARY IS STILL DOWN AND CLEOPATRA IS MAKING HER WAY UP TO THE TOP ROPE! SHE GETS HERSELF POSITIONED ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE BEFORE SHE FLIPS BACK! MOONSAULT ON THE WAY–
James Peters: CUTTER CULTURE! HOLY SHIT! MARY SPRUNG UP TO HER FEET AND CLEOPATRA GOT PLANTED WITH THAT RKO CUTTER! WHERE THE HELL DID THAT ENERGY COME FROM CLEO FOR SURE DID NOT SEE THAT COMING! THIS COULD BE IT, BUT SHE’S ELECTING NOT TO GO FOR THE COVER! MARY WANTS TO END THIS MATCH WITH AN EXCLAMATION POINT!
Rich Russillo: MARY IS CALLING FOR IT AND GETTING HER BOOT READY! SHE’S LOOKING TO FINISH THIS MATCH OFF WITH THE HEADSHOT! SHE WANTS TO KICK CLEO’S HEAD RIGHT OFF HER NECK!
Persephone: Hurry up and just kick the dentures out of her mouth and end this match. They should be lucky their match is first. Any later, and they’ll miss curfew at the old folks home. Alright, the Ancient Queen of the Nile didn’t break her hip because she is back to her feet. That Mary bitch’s Headshot on the way–
Rich Russillo: DUCKED! CLEO DUCKED THE HEADSHOT SUPERKICK AT THE LAST SECOND AND MARY IS OFF BALANCE AFTER MISSING THE KICK! SHE QUICKLY TRIES TO RECOVER BUT SHE TURNS AROUND TO A KICK TO THE GUT! MARY NOW IN A POWERBOMB POSITION, BUT CLEO JUMPS!!!
James Peters: BRUTALITY!! THAT IS HER BRUTALITY!! CANADIAN DESTROYER CONNECTS AND MARY IS SPIKED RIGHT ON THE TOP OF HER HEAD! SHE IS NOT MOVING!! WILL THIS BE THE BRUTAL ENDING FOR MARY S. ATLAS? CLEOPATRA HOOKS MARY’S LEG AND GOES FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!
Rich Russillo: ARIA AND USAGI AND TRYING TO GET BACK IN THE RING!!
TWWWWWWWWOOOO!!
James Peters: BUT AMBER AND MADISON CUT THEM OFF AND PREVENT THEM FROM THE ENTERING THE RING!!
TTHHHHHHHHHRRRRRREEEEE!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(“Caterpillar” starts playing again and the crowd starts booing loudly as Cleopatra rolls off of Mary and slowly makes it back to her feet. Following closely behind are Madison and Amber rolling into the ring.)
Bella Braxton: Here are your winners! THE QUEEN’S COURT!
James Peters: What a way to kick off Grand Rampage weekend! This six woman tag was everything we imagined it to be and more. The team of ARIA, Senshi, and Atlas brought the fight to the Hall of Famers, but it was the cunning and experience that pushed it over the top for the Queen’s Court and it led to victory!
Persephone: Goody goody. The Gray Old Battle Axes won the match and now the orderlies can help them back to their rooms where they will talk about the good ole days before they fall asleep drinking their Metamucil
(The Queen’s Court have the arms raised in victory as they have satisfied smirks on their faces that they accomplished exactly what they wanted to do as they exit the ring.)
Rich Russillo: You have to hand it to the last moment team of the Ice Aces and Mary S. Atlas. They were very close on more than one occasion to putting them away and winning the match, but as James said, experience and a bag of tricks told the tale.
Persephone: I bet the bag smells as musty as they do. All that cheap perfume and shit.
James Peters: I’m going to ignore that remark, Seph. But you are right, Rich. The young up and coming team put up an amazing fight. Tonight, they showed that they can hang with the Hall of Fame level competitors. That’s why they are three of the bright future superstars of EAW. If this is how Grand Rampage is going to start, I can’t wait to see the rest of this weekend. Again, congratulations to the Queen’s Court with a hard fought victory to kick off Grand Rampage.
(The final shot shows The Queen’s Court at the top of the entrance ramp and standing tall with triumphant looks on their faces before cutting back to the ring where ARIA and Usagi Senshi are helping Mary up. All three have depressed and frustrated looks on their faces that they couldn’t pick up the victory as the camera cuts elsewhere.)
(After a short commercial break, Grand Rampage returns to the arena as the next match graphic is seen flashing across the screen to a roar of cheers.)
Bella Braxton: The following contest is scheduled for…
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
Bella Braxton: And it is a Semi-Finals Match of the EAW New Era Classic Tournament!
(All lights in the arena shut off apart from a single red spotlight atop the stage where in the darkness, nothing but Aurora Monroe’s silhouette is visible to the audience. As ‘Streets (Instrumental)’ by Doja Cat begins to blast throughout the stadium, boos begin to pour down as Aurora Monroe slowly and seductively wines her waist up until the beat drops. As the beat drops, she freezes and holds her pose at the top of the stage just as the spotlight immediately changes from red to white. Aurora lifts her head proudly, relaxing her seductive pose and flexing her left bicep with a smirk just a moment before she begins her descent down the ramp and to the ring.)
Bella Braxton: INTRODUCING FIRST… FROM NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA… WEIGHING IN AT 160 POUNDS… SHE IS ‘THE TEMPEST’…AURORA MONROE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: QUEEN!!!!
Persephone: Stop it.
Stew-O: Aurora Monroe is the Leader of Block C, and although it was a bumpy road, Aurora Monroe was able to barely slip into this Semi-Finals Match here tonight! She beat the likes of Kirk Redwood, Ayu Megumi and Liana DeLion, and now she is going to have to get through Joso in this Semi-Finals Match to be able to advance into the Finals of the New Era Classic Tournament!
(Aurora continues her saunter down the ramp, the white spotlight continuing to follow her. Upon reaching the ring, she hoists herself up onto the apron and hits another pose, showing off her impeccable physique. She enters the ring through the middle rope and positions herself at the center of the ring, flexing both biceps again for the hard camera, licking her lips as a menacing smirk grows across her face.)
(From there, ‘Streets’ would fade away, as it is then replaced by ‘Trophies’ by Drake, as the negative reaction almost immediately changes into a sea of explosive cheers, as Joso, wearing New York Yankees colors, would walk through the curtain to a warm Hometown welcome. He smiles, as he stretches his arms out and smiles, before he starts to make his way down to the Ring.)
Bella Braxton: AND HER OPPONENT…FROM RIGHT HERE IN BRONX, NEW YORK…WEIGHING IN AT 206 POUNDS…HE IS THE ‘SOUL OF BRONX’…JOSO!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: And then there is the Hometown Hero, and the leader of Block D in this Tournament, Joso! Joso has had a similar path as Aurora in this Tournament, although not having any setbacks in this Tournament, it was definitely a long road for Joso! In this Tournament, he has beaten the likes of Abel Atami, Pandora Paisley, Danny Tanner, and finally, ARIA, to secure his spot in the Semi-Finals here tonight! But now he is going to have to beat Aurora Monroe here tonight at Grand Rampage in front of his Hometown if he wants to secure his spot in the Finals!
Persephone: He says he doesn’t miss, but he actually has missed quite a lot. BORING! But do you wanna know who doesn’t miss? My Rexy! :smiling_face_with_3_hearts:
Gavin Kirkland: AND YOU WANNA KNOW WHO ELSE DOESN’T MISS? AURORA MONROE! :smiling_face_with_3_hearts: :smiling_face_with_3_hearts:
Persephone: I said stop it.
(Joso would make his way into the Ring, as he would climb up to the top rope, and pose, hyping up his Hometown Crowd, before jumping down and taunting Aurora. He would back into his corner, as the Referee starts to pat down Aurora and Joso, before ringing the bell for this Match to start!)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Persephone: Yawn. Is it over?
Stew-O: Well actually this Match has just started! This is a Semifinals Match of the New Era Classic Tournament, and Joso and Aurora Monroe immediately meet in the center of the Ring and lock up! These two have gone through three 5 Weeks of Matches, and they have gotten themselves this Match, and now, being the leaders of Block D and Block C, these two are looking to win to move to Pain For Pride! Aurora Monroe is able to get the early advantage, pushing Joso against the ropes, as she rebounds him, as Joso runs off the other ropes and runs into a powerful Clothesline by Aurora!
Gavin Kirkland: But Joso immediately gets back up to his feet and takes Aurora by surprise with a side headlock, taking her down! Joso starts to wrench in the side headlock, but Aurora is able to quickly escape out of it, getting back up to her feet as Joso follows suit-
Stew-O: SUPERKICK BY JOSO! Joso catches Aurora Monroe with a Superkick and just like that Aurora falls to her knees! Joso backs up..before connecting with another Superkick! Aurora falls down and Joso quickly goes for a cover and everyone in attendance is going crazy!
Referee: OOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Persephone: Sigh. Aurora Monroe kicks out with ease, as if Joso really thought that it was going to be over with a simple kick to the face. Joso wastes no time getting back up, as he shouldn’t because this Match needs to end already, as he goes back on his softass attack.
Gavin Kirkland: Can’t be energetic? WE GOT AURORA MONROE COMPETING RIGHT NOW! Now, Joso starts to stomp on a grounded Aurora, as Aurora is helpless right now-..but not for long as she is able to push Joso away and get back up to her feet! Joso tries to get back towards Aurora, but Monroe is able to catch Joso with a big boot. KEEP GOING AURORA! YOU GOT THIS!
Stew-O: Joso goes down as now it’s Aurora who is going to take advantage of the given opportunity, picking Joso back up, before planting him with yet another Clothesline! You can hear the shittalking on display from Aurora Monroe here right now, as Joso is struggling in this position right now. Aurora is known to be extremely overconfident heading into Matches, and it looks like it’s no different here! Joso tries to get back up to his feet, but Aurora just kicks him back down! Aurora knows exactly what she is doing right now, and she knows that she has Joso right where she wants him!
Gavin Kirkland: That’s right! My girl be representing Showdown here right now :wow:, as Aurora Monroe once again drags Joso back up to his feet..AND JOSO SLAPS AURORA RIGHT ACROSS THE FACE! A SLAP OF DEFIANCE BY JOSO BUT AURORA ISN’T GOING TO TAKE THAT, CHOPPING JOSO RIGHT IN THE CHEST AS JOSO CRUMBLES DOWN, AND AURORA IS TREATING JOSO LIKE HE’S NOTHING RIGHT NOW, JUST STEPPING ALL OVER HIM! Damn! I wish she would step on me like that.
Persephone: Absolutely disgusting and disgraceful.
Stew-O: Aurora Monroe is proving Joso’s words that he said throughout the week to be completely false right now, as Aurora drags Joso back up to his feet-..but Joso is fighting back! Joso is fighting back! Joso is throwing strikes at Aurora, and he is overwhelming her into the corner! Joso now runs from the other corner, and connects with a splash to Aurora..before following it up with a Pele Kick! Joso is taking control here as Aurora is staggering! Aurora is still on her feet, but she is definitely caught by surprise as Joso seemingly jumps onto Aurora, and spins around before connecting with a Tornado DDT! Aurora goes down and Joso goes for a cover again!
Referee: OOOOOOONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!!!!!
Referee: TWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO-
Gavin Kirkland: ANOTHER KICKOUT BY AURORA! :blessed: ANOTHER KICKOUT BY AURORA! :blessed: AURORA MONROE MY GIRL IS ABLE TO KICK OUT OF THE TORNADO DDT, AND JOSO LOOKS ABSOLUTELY ANNOYED! Both start to crawl back up to their feet, but Aurora (not) surprisingly gets back up to her feet first, but Joso meets her-..just to get a stiff elbow to the face by Aurora, but Joso reacts with an elbow to his own! Aurora connects with another elbow, and Joso reacts with one of his own! Aurora! Joso! Aurora! Joso! AURORA! AURORA! AURORA! JOSO-
Stew-O: AURORA JUST CAUGHT JOSO BY SURPRISE WITH THAT STIFF CHOP RIGHT TO THE CHEST AND JOSO GOES CRUMBLING DOWN TO HIS KNEES!
Persephone: Weak.
Gavin Kirkland: No!
Persephone: Shut up! :smiley:
Gavin Kirkland: :mjcry:
Stew-O: Anyway… Joso is in trouble here, as Aurora Monroe has quickly been able to gain control once again of this Match, which has seemed to be a pattern throughout the early stages of this Match, as Joso has been absolutely defenseless minus some sudden moments of offense. Aurora seems to be holding down the hand of Joso..AS SHE STOMPS ONTO JOSO’S HAND! Joso lets out a screech of pain, holding his hand as he tries to get away from Aurora, but Aurora picks Joso back up to his feet and into a Powerbomb Position, before pulling him up, AND DRIVING HIM DOWN WITH A POWER-
Gavin Kirkland: BOMB! AURORA MONROE CONNECTS WITH A POWERBOMB ON JOSO, AND SHE GOES FOR THE PIN! YES! WIN! YOU GOT THIS!
Referee: OOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
Referee: TWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
Persephone: …Don’t say it, Stew-
Stew-O: JOSO KICKS OUT!
Persephone: Fuck. FUCK! FUUUCCCCKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: I’m just doing my job. :wtf: Joso was able to pop the shoulder up, as Aurora just lets out a cocky laugh, knowing that Joso is in for even more punishment! Aurora Monroe gets back up to her feet, laughing away as she continues to downplay and shittalk Joso, kicking him around as he is trying to get back up to his feet-..but you can see that Joso is starting to get more and more pissed!
Gavin Kirkland: But what is he gonna be able to do? My girl is in control, as she always is :mjlit:, and I don’t see any signs of her momentum being stopped! Aurora ALLOWS Joso to get back up to his feet, as she backs up and just watches as Joso uses the ropes as support to get his stancing. Aurora Monroe now walks towards Joso, with the overconfidence growing more and more across her face-… :whoa:
Persephone: Lame.
Stew-O: GAMECHANGER! AURORA MONROE WAS WALKING OVER TO JOSO, AS IT LOOKED LIKE JOSO WAS HEALING UP, AND JOSO IMMEDIATELY SPOTTED HER, RAN RIGHT AT HER AND GRABBED HER LEFT ARM AS HE FLIPPED OVER AND DROVE HER ARM INTO HIS KNEES IN AN ARM BREAKER VARIATION! THAT WAS AN INNOVATIVE MOVE BY JOSO AND AURORA MONROE IS HURT, AS THE MOMENTUM SEEMINGLY HAS QUICKLY CHANGED! AURORA IS HURT!! AURORA IS ROLLING AROUND GRABBING HER LEFT ARM AND JOSO NOW HAS HIS TARGET, AS HE IS STOMPING ALL OVER THAT ARM! JOSO ISN’T STOPPING! HE’S GOT HIS MOMENT OF OPPORTUNITY AND HE IS TAKING IT!
Gavin Kirkland: :lupe: JOSO SIMPLY ISN’T LETTING OFF! AURORA MONROE IS ABLE TO GET BACK UP TO HER FEET, BUT JOSO IS ABLE TO GRAB A HOLD OF THAT LEFT ARM, AND BRINGS IT AROUND HER BACK IN A CHICKEN WING POSITION..BEFORE RAMMING THAT ARM AND SHOULDER RIGHT INTO THE CORNER AND TURNBUCKLE! AURORA GOES BACK DOWN! Joso is definitely feeling the effects from earlier in this Match, but I think it’s safe to say that Aurora Monroe is definitely feeling the worst of it now!..like, she’s really hurting. Maybe I should go down there and help her, right? Maybe she needs support!
Persephone: Nope. I think you should watch her suffer.
Stew-O: Aurora is struggling right now, and those moments of struggles are giving Joso more time for breathing room! Aurora tries to get back up to her feet, but Joso continues to hold her down and keep her grounded, as he’s now wrenching his knee deeply into the left shoulder blade! Joso is targeting the entirety of that left arm, and now it seems that he’s going to be the one who is doing the shittalking now!
Joso: (Off-Mic) You want to talk shit about MY Hometown? You want to say that I’M inferior to you? Just for all of that I’m sending you down to yo grave.
Stew-O: Joso stretches out the left arm of Aurora, and Aurora is trying to hold back! Aurora is trying to get out of Joso’s grasp, but Joso isn’t allowing it, and he drops his knee right into the shoulder blade and a piercing screech echoes throughout the building! Aurora’s arm has to be absolutely fucked right now, AND JOSO IS WRENCHING THAT KNEE INTO THE SHOULDER BLADE EVEN MORE! THE TORTURE FOR AURORA MONROE WON’T STOP! Everyone is behind the Hometown hero right now as Joso gets back up, and he feeds into the reaction that is given! Joso is forced to back away as the Referee goes to check on Aurora Monroe, asking her if she wants to continue this Match, but Aurora shoves him away and gets back up to her feet in defiance!-
Gavin Kirkland: FUCK! JOSO CATCHES AURORA WITH AN ENZUIGIRI! AURORA IS STUNNED AS JOSO THEN GOES BEHIND HER, GRABBING HER BY THE WAIST BEFORE PICKING HER UP AND CONNECTING WITH A BRUTAL GERMAN SUPLEX, AS AURORA ALMOST LANDED ON HER HEAD WITH THAT! AURORA IS DOWN AND OUT AS JOSO IS NOW CLIMBING TO THE TOP ROPE! JOSO IS PERCHED ON THE TOP ROPE AS THERE IS NO MOVEMENT FROM AURORA! JOSO GETS HIS STANCE, AND HE TAKES OFF! FROG SPLASH! FROG SPLASH!
Persephone: She moved. :neutral_face:
Stew-O: WAIT! AURORA MONROE MOVED OUT OF THE WAY, BUT JOSO KEPT HIS BALANCE ON THE TOP ROPE! JOSO SAW IT COMING — HE WASN’T GOING TO FALL FOR THE SAME TRICK HE FELL FOR ALL THE WAY BACK IN HIS DEBUT MATCH! AURORA IS ON THE COMPLETE OTHER SIDE OF THE RING, BUT JOSO JUMPS DOWN ONTO THE APRON AND HE RUNS TO THE OTHER CORNER! JOSO GETS ON THAT TOP ROPE, AND I DON’T THINK AURORA IS EXPECTING THIS…MOONSAULT! JOSO CONNECTS WITH THE MOONSAULT! JOSO COVERS! JOSO IS LOOKING TO WIN IT HERE!
Referee: OOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TTT-
Gavin Kirkland: AURORA MONROE KICKS OUT ONCE AGAIN, AND ALL YOU CAN SEE IS A BIT OF DISAPPOINTMENT ON THE FACE OF JOSO! Joso thought that was going to be it, but he stood corrected, as my Strong Queen continues to stay in this Match despite the damage dealt to her left arm! Joso has developed a very smart strategy to target the arm of Aurora, because most of Aurora’s offense needs the arms to work properly! Joso slowly gets back up to his feet, as the Referee once again checks on Aurora Monroe, but Aurora once again gives him the ok that she can keep going before getting back up to her feet as well. Joso looks to meet Aurora in the center of the Ring- BUT HE IS CAUGHT WITH A RIGHT HAND BY AURORA! JOSO FALLS DOWN TO A KNEE FROM THAT RIGHT HAND, AND AURORA NOW STOMPS ONTO THE HANDS OF JOSO!
Stew-O: Aurora Monroe is trying to avoid using her damaged left arm as much as she can, as she now boots Joso right in the face, shoving him down! Joso instantly is able to get back up to his feet, BUT AURORA CATCHES HIM BY THE NECK! AURORA HAS JOSO BY THE NECK, AND SHE THROWS HIS ARM OVER HER BEFORE PULLING HIM UP INTO A CHOKESLAM POSITION..BUT JOSO IS ABLE TO FIGHT OUT OF IT, AND AURORA DROPS JOSO-..BUT IT DOESN’T EVEN MATTER AS AURORA IS ABLE TO GRAB A HOLD OF JOSO, AND WITH HER STRENGTH, SHE MANAGES TO DROP JOSO WITH A NORTHERN LIGHTS SUPLEX, BUT SHE ISN’T ABLE TO CAPITALIZE! Joso rolls away into the ropes so that Aurora Monroe could not get the cover!
Gavin Kirkland: Aurora Monroe gets back up to her feet, clearly pissed off while she continues to favor her arm, as Joso climbs back up to his feet with the support of the ropes. Aurora goes to walk over to Joso, but Joso is able to catch her with a kick to the gut, before he looks down at Ringside, before looking back at Aurora as he grabs onto Aurora..and Joso is looking to suplex Aurora over the ropes and down onto the Ringside floor, but Aurora isn’t allowing it! Joso looks to grab Aurora again, but Aurora moves, before grabbing Joso herself..AND WHAT THE HELL?! AURORA MONROE IS ABSOLUTELY INSANE! AURORA JUST HIP TOSSED JOSO WITH ONE ARM, AND SHE WAS ABLE TO GET JOSO SO HIGH IN THE AIR THAT HE WENT OVER TO THE TOP ROPE AND BACK PLANTED ON THE APRON! JOSO IS OUT! JOSO IS DOWN ON THE RINGSIDE FLOOR, AND AURORA LOOKS TO FOLLOW SUIT AS SHE EXITS THE RING!
Persephone: Hope they both get counted out! :blessed:
Stew-O: You can clearly tell that Joso’s back is really messed up now, as Aurora now has a target of her own! Joso tries to crawl away, but Aurora picks Joso up to his feet, driving him into the Apron back first! But the Referee is starting a count!
Referee: ONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Persephone: Please ignore the count. Please ignore the count. Keep fighting like stupid dumbfucks.
Gavin Kirkland: Aurora and Joso are fighting amongst each other right now as the Referee is continuing to count! AURORA! GET BACK IN THERE BABYGIRL!
Persephone: SHUT UP GAVIN.
Referee: TWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: Aurora Monroe grabs Joso, and she looks to send him face first into the Ringpost, but Joso is able to escape it, instead sending Aurora into the Ringpost! Aurora staggers away as Joso follows!
Referee: FOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Persephone: Keep going…keep going…COUNT FASTER!
Referee: FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVVVVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Persephone: .
Stew-O: Joso goes to grab Aurora, but Aurora is able to catch Joso with a chop, rattling him, and it seems like Aurora is now aware of the count as she goes to enter the Ring, but Joso stops her! Joso grabs her by the foot, and pulls her back out as he now grabs a hold of that damaged arm, AND HE SNAPS IT BACK AGAINST THE APRON!
Referee: SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: SEEEEEEEEEEVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Joso now drags Aurora back and rams her into the barricade! Aurora goes down and Joso is able to get into the Ring! COME ON AURORA GET UP! GET IN THERE! I BELIEVE IN YOU!
Persephone: KEEP COUNTING!!!
Referee: EIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: WAIT! JOSO RUNS THE ROPES, AND HE DIVES THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE, CATCHING AURORA WITH A SUICIDE DIVE! THAT RESETS THE REFEREE’S COUNT WHILE ALSO DAMAGING AURORA’S ARM EVEN MORE! JOSO GRABS AURORA AND HE SENDS HER BACK INTO THE RING, AS HE FOLLOWS, ENTERING THE RING AND RUNNING THE ROPES ONCE MORE AS HE CATCHES AURORA WITH A SLINGBLADE! AURORA GOES DOWN!
Persephone: Gavin this is your fault.
Gavin Kirkland: Wha- OH! JOSO WENT TO TARGET THAT ARM ONCE MORE BUT AURORA WAS ABLE TO SCOUT IT THIS TIME, MOVING OUT OF THE WAY BEFORE GETTING UP TO HER FEET AND CATCHING JOSO WITH A CLOTHESLINE WITH HER RIGHT ARM! AURORA DRAGS JOSO RIGHT BACK UP TO HIS FEET, AND SHE IS GOING TO TRY TO LIFT JOSO WITH THAT HURT ARM! AURORA IS LIFTING JOSO UP INTO A MILITARY PRESS POSITION WITH THAT DAMAGED ARM..AND SHE DROPS HIM WITH ‘SOLAR FLARE’! THE MILITARY PRESS SLAM CONNECTS AND AURORA MONROE GOES FOR THE COVER TO ADVANCE TO THE FINALS OF THE NEW ERA CLASSIC TOURNAMENT!
Referee: OOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHH-
Stew-O: JOSO IS ABLE TO POP THE SHOULDER UP, BUT I DON’T THINK AURORA MONROE IS SURPRISED! Aurora wasn’t able to get the full impact of the Solar Flare due to the damaged arm, and that is definitely playing many factors in this Match! These two have both been put through hell so far in this Match, but neither of them are going to give up or give in, and they are going to keep fighting until we have someone advance to the Finals of the New Era Classic! Both Joso and Aurora Monroe are getting back up to their feet, as they meet each other in the center of the Ring, and they start sharing strikes once again! Back and forth, neither of these two are getting an advantage!
Persephone: :sleeping:
Gavin Kirkland: :rolling_eyes: These two are fighting back up to their feet, but Aurora is slowly getting the advantage! Aurora is overwhelming Joso into the ropes! KEEP GOING AURORA! Aurora pushes Joso up the ropes, before irish whipping him the other way, Joso running the other side of the ropes as he meets Aurora- AND AURORA CATCHES JOSO WITH A SPEAR! AURORA CATCHES JOSO WITH A SPEAR BUT YOU CAN TELL SHE DAMAGED HER ARM IN THE PROCESS! :noah: It doesn’t seem like Aurora Monroe is going to want to cover Joso right there, as instead she gets back up to her feet holding her arm as she pulls Joso back up to his feet, and she pulls Joso up into a pump handle position! AURORA IS GOING TO HIT ‘THE TEMPEST’! AURORA IS GOING TO CONNECT WITH THE PUMP HANDLE SLAM-
Stew-O: BUT SHE CAN’T KEEP JOSO UP! SHE FALLS DOWN AS JOSO IS ABLE TO ESCAPE FROM IT, AND AURORA CONTINUES FAVORING HER ARM! JOSO GETS UP TO HIS FEET WHILE AURORA IS DOWN ON HER KNEES, AND JOSO CONNECTS WITH ANOTHER SUPERKICK! AURORA FALLS DOWN TO THE GROUND, AND JOSO IS LOOKING TO CAPITALIZE ON A GROUNDED AURORA, AS HE GRABS THAT DAMAGED ARM, AND HE GOES DOWN TO THE GROUND..AND HE LOCKS IN A CROSS ARMBAR! JOSO HAS GOT A CROSS ARMBAR AND AURORA LOOKS LIKE SHE IS GOING TO HAVE TO TAP!
Gavin Kirkland: PLEASE DON’T TAP! PLEASE DON’T TAP!
Persephone: PLEASE TAP! PLEASE TAP!
Stew-O: AURORA MONROE HAS NOWHERE TO GO! THE REFEREE IS ASKING HER IF SHE WANTS TO GIVE UP, BUT SHE KEEPS SCREAMING NO DESPITE BEING IN THIS VERY DANGEROUS POSITION! AURORA’S SHOULDER COULD BE PULLED OUT OF IT’S FUCKING SOCKET HERE, AND SHE ISN’T GOING TO TAP! JOSO IS WRENCHING IN THE ARMBAR IN EVEN MORE! I DON’T KNOW HOW MUCH LONGER SHE WILL BE ABLE TO STAY IN THIS ARMBAR!
(Aurora Monroe continues to try and kick and wiggle her way out of the Armbar Submission, but every little ounce of movement causes a shot of unimaginable pain all up the arm of Aurora. Meanwhile, the Crowd is loving every second of it, continuing to cheer on their Hometown Hero in Joso as they watch Aurora suffer, even shouting for Aurora to tap out.)
Gavin Kirkland: WHY IS EVERYONE AGAINST AURORA HERE? KEEP GOING AURORA! YOU CAN GET OUT OF THIS! DON’T TAP! DON’T GIVE UP NOW QUEEN! YOU CAN DOOO ITTTT!!!!
Persephone: Bitch, her arm is fucking dead.
(Aurora would continue to try and kick her way out of this Armbar, but the Submission Hold starts to get too much for her. Aurora can see slowing down, as she raises her hand up in the air, looking like she is about to tap.)
Stew-O: I THINK AURORA MONROE IS SLOWLY GIVING UP! JOSO KEEPS WRENCHING IT MORE AND MORE, AND I THINK IT WILL BE BEST IF AURORA TAPS OUT BEFORE THERE IS SERIOUS DAMAGE DONE TO THAT ARM! AURORA IS STRUGGLING..AURORA HAS NOWHERE TO GO AS SHE SLAMS HER HAND DOWN! I THINK AURORA IS TAPPING! AURORA GAVE UP! THE TORTURE WAS TOO MUCH!
(….)
(…..)
(…….)
(………)
Persephone: DING! DING! DING!
Gavin Kirkland: WOOOOOOO!!!!!!! IT’S NOT OVER! AURORA WAS ABLE TO MOVE HERSELF A FEW INCHES INTO THE RIGHT DIRECTION AND WAS ABLE TO GET HER HAND ON THE ROPE TO CAUSE A ROPE BREAK! THIS MATCH IS STILL GOING ON! WOOP WOOP!
Persephone: Unfortunately.
Stew-O: Everyone in attendance is very unhappy about that, but you can’t argue that not only Joso, but Aurora Monroe are having star-making performances in this Match! Joso lets go of the Armbar, as the Referee once again has to check on Aurora, which is, of course, given a shove and a nod that she can continue. Aurora gets back up to her feet, as she basically has no clue on where she is anymore, and Joso, favoring his back walks over to Aurora- BUT AURORA JUST KICKS JOSO AWAY! JOSO DIDN’T LIKE THAT AND HE RUNS AT AURORA-
Gavin Kirkland: YES! YES! YES! AURORA CAUGHT JOSO AND HIT THE TEMPEST! THE PUMP HANDLE SLAM CONNECTED! AURORA DID THAT WITH SUCH SPEED BECAUSE OF THE DAMAGED SHOULDER, AND I THINK JOSO IS OUT OF IT! JOSO IS OUT OF IT! AURORA IS GOING FOR A COVER!
Referee: OOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TTTTTTTHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Persephone: WHY? WHY WON’T THEY JUST DIE? NO BLOOD, NO VIOLENCE, JUST TWO IDIOTS PUTTING US TO SLEEP AND IT AIN’T EVEN OVER YET-
Stew-O: JOSO WAS ABLE TO GET HIS FOOT ON THE ROPE AND THE REFEREE NOTICED! THE MATCH CONTINUES!
Persephone: WHYYYYYYYYYYYY!?!??!?!
Gavin Kirkland: :mjlol: This is getting kind of funny…
Persephone: Oh is it?
Gavin Kirkland: Nope! 🙂 I am honestly surprised that Joso was able to get his foot on the rope, but he is showing that he is willing to do whatever it takes to make sure that he wins this whole Tournament, but Aurora Monroe ain’t backing down either! Aurora gets back up to a knee, but it is still clear as day that that left arm is just not even functioning anymore. Aurora now gets back up to her feet, as she walks over to Joso, picking him back up as well…BEFORE SLAPPING JOSO RIGHT ACROSS THE FACE!
Stew-O: AND JOSO IMMEDIATELY RESPONDED WITH A SLAP BACK! AURORA TURNS HER BACK TOWARDS JOSO, BUT JOSO GRABS A HOLD OF AURORA, AND DRAGS HER TOWARDS HIM..’INCOMING SILENCE’! INCOMING SILENCE CONNECTS! THE SPIN OUT SIT DOWN POWERBOMB CONNECTS WITH FORCE, AND THAT CAME RIGHT OUT OF THE BLUE BUT I DON’T EVEN THINK THAT JOSO CAN CAPITALIZE ON IT! AURORA ROLLED OVER TO HER BACK AND JOSO CAN’T COVER HER, BUT I DON’T THINK JOSO CARES ANYMORE! JOSO IS LAYING WASTE TO HER AS JOSO IS BEATING DOWN ON A DEFENSELESS AURORA MONROE WITH THOSE PUNCHES AND STRIKES!
Gavin Kirkland: Uhhhhhh…Aurora isn’t moving anymore! I think Aurora Monroe is completely out of it, but Joso doesn’t even care! Joso now drags Aurora back up to her feet, and you can tell that Aurora is dazed! Aurora tries to push Joso away, but Joso grabs a hold of Aurora’s arm..BEFORE KICKING RIGHT AT HER INJURED LEFT ARM! JOSO NOW KICKS AURORA IN THE GUT, AND HE PUTS HER INTO A POWERBOMB POSITION..BEFORE TRANSITIONING INTO A PILEDRIVER POSITION, AND HE CONNECTS WITH HEAVEN’S GATE! THE PACKAGE PILEDRIVER CONNECTS! AURORA’S LIGHTS ARE OUT, AND JOSO GOES FOR A COVER! THIS HAS TO BE IT!!!!
Referee: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Persephone: Please…
Referee: TWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Persephone: YES…
Referee: TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(…………………………..)
Stew-O: AURORA MONROE WAS BARELY ABLE TO KICKOUT! AURORA MONROE MUSTERED UP ALL HER STRENGTH LEFT AND KICKED OUT OF THE HEAVEN’S GATE!
Persephone: Nevermind. Just wake me up when the Match ends. Or when I die. Or when my Rexy finally returns.
Stew-O: These two have given it absolutely everything into this Match, as they are both showcasing just how much they want to make it to the Finals at Pain For Pride, but at what cost are they paying for by not going down??
Persephone: my sanity.
Gavin Kirkland: Were you ever sane in the first place?
Persephone: You’re the one to talk you fucking perverted bitch-
Stew-O: Uh, guys. Back to the action!
(Joso and Aurora Monroe can be seen struggling to get back up to their feet, as the Referee looks to check on both of them. After a while of movement but no prevail to get up, both Joso and Aurora are able to get up at the same time, as they stare down each other.)
Stew-O: JOSO AND AURORA MONROE ARE BACK UP! JOSO AND AURORA ARE STARING EACH OTHER DOWN-
Gavin Kirkland: JOSO JUST WENT FOR ANOTHER HEAVEN’S GATE! JOSO WENT FOR ANOTHER PACKAGE PILEDRIVER, BUT AURORA MONROE WAS ABLE TO STOP IT FROM HAPPENING THIS TIME! AURORA PUSHES JOSO AWAY, BUT JOSO DOESN’T BACK OFF AS HE GRABS THE INJURED ARM OF AURORA…BUT AURORA ROLLS THROUGH IT! AURORA ROLLS THROUGH IT AND THEN PUSHES JOSO OFF HER AND INTO THE ROPES..
Stew-O: JOSO REBOUNDS OFF THE ROPES..AND HE BACKS RIGHT INTO A FOREARM TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD! AURORA NOW TURNS HIM AROUND, AND DRAGS HIM INTO A POWERBOMB POSITION! AURORA GETS JOSO UP IN A POWERBOMB POSITION! HOW IS SHE DOING THIS? EVEN WITH HER INJURED ARM, AURORA GETS JOSO UP IN THE AIR…AND HE ELEVATES JOSO UP, BEFORE DRIVING HIM DOWN! ‘HALESTORM’ CONNECTS! THE ELEVATED POWERBOMB CONNECTS!
(After ‘Halestorm’ connects, Aurora falls down along with Joso, as she continues to hold that left arm in unimaginable pain. Aurora would then check her surroundings, before she then looks at the corner, and up at the top rope. Aurora gives her very cocky smile, as she crawls back up to her feet, and starts to climb up to the top rope.)
Gavin Kirkland: :lupe: I really don’t like the looks of this… Aurora Monroe is climbing up to the top rope, and I think we all know what she’s going for! Please, stay safe Queen..you can hurt yourself up there! I hope this goes smoothly.
Persephone: She’s not going to fuck you.
Gavin Kirkland: I KNOW. :mjcry:
(Aurora Monroe is able to climb up onto the top rope, as Joso has yet to make any movement. Aurora gets her standing on the top rope, as she slowly rises up. A sea of boos pour down on her, and all she does is laugh at the reaction, before looking down at Joso.)
Stew-O: AURORA MONROE ISN’T FAZED! AURORA IS JUST BREATHING IN ALL THE HATE AS SHE LOOKS DOWN AT A MOTIONLESS JOSO!
Aurora Monroe: (Off-Mic) I. Don’t. Miss.
Gavin Kirkland: AND AURORA MONROE JUMPS! ‘BOREALIS”! AURORA CONNECTS WITH THE SHOOTING STAR PRESS AND THIS HAS TO BE IT! THIS WILL BE IT! SHE DOESN’T MISS! MY QUEEN DOESN’T MISS-
(……….)
Persephone: LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SHE MISSED! OH MY GOD I’M DYING!! :skull:
Gavin Kirkland: ….
Stew-O: JOSO MOVED OUT OF THE WAY! JOSO MOVED OUT OF THE WAY OF THE SHOOTING STAR PRESS AND AURORA MONROE LANDED HARD! JOSO QUICKLY GETS BACK UP TO HIS FEET AS AURORA IS ON HER KNEES, BUT JOSO CONNECTS WITH A KNEE STRIKE TO THE JAW! JOSO NOW DRAGS AURORA UP TO HER FEET, AND PICKS HER UP, GETTING AURORA INTO A ARGENTINE BACKBREAKER POSITION! AURORA HAS NOWHERE TO GO…AND JOSO TRANSITIONS IT INTO THE KNEELIFT! JOSO CONNECTS WITH GRATEFIUL DEATH, AND AURORA MONROE IS KNOCKED THE FUCK OUT! AURORA FALLS FLAT AND JOSO FALLS ON TOP OF HER INTO A PINNING POSITION! JOSO HAS THIS WON!
Referee: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Persephone: OH MY GOD IT’S FINALLY OVER!!!
(‘Trophies’ begins to once again blast through the Yankees Stadium, as everyone in attendance explodes in cheers, everyone happy that Joso was able to pick up the win! The Referee checks on both Joso and Aurora Monroe, as Joso slowly gets up to a knee, and the Referee raises his arm.)
Bella Braxton: HERE IS YOUR WINNER OF THIS MATCH, ADVANCING INTO THE FINALS OF THE NEW ERA CLASSIC TOURNAMENT…JOSO!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: WOW! These two put everything on the line here tonight, sacrificing life and limb just to be able to advance into the Finals of the New Era Classic Tournament, but in the end, Aurora Monroe made one single mistake, and Joso was able to capitalize, hitting the Grateful Death, and picking up the win to advance to the Finals!
Gavin Kirkland: Goddamnit. :mjcry: My queen really tried her hardest in this Match here tonight, but at the end of the day, her overconfidence was her ultimate downfall, and Joso was able to escape Grand Rampage with the win. I’ll be fine, I promise. Congratulations, Joso.
Persephone: I’m just glad the Match is over! They both suck! :ahh:
(Joso would continue to celebrate his victory over Aurora Monroe in the center of the Ring, as Aurora would be seen getting checked on by the Referee, as Medics would come down to Ringside to check on her damaged left arm. The last shot is of Joso, posing on the top rope to the hard Camera, as the Camera would fade elsewhere.)
(We cut to the backstage area, and a roar is heard from the Yankee Stadium as Limmy Monaghan, and Adam Lucas appear on screen. There doesn’t seem to be any weird atmosphere between the two of them, and the conversation seems cordial.)
Adam Lucas: How’s it going Limmy?
Limmy Monaghan: I’m good. Better than good in fact.
Adam Lucas: I wasn’t sure that you’d want to talk, especially given the circumstances which went down a couple of months ago.
Limmy Monaghan: We may not agree on a few things Adam, but after what we have been through, you’ll always have my respect.
Adam Lucas: Still not changed your mind then?
(Limmy laughs at the statement)
Limmy Monaghan: Opinions are like arseholes, right?
Adam Lucas: For real.
Limmy Monaghan: Look, whether you deserve this or not, I still wish you luck. I know how hard a fighter you are, and if you win, you’ll be one heck of a champion. That I’ll never deny and maybe we’ll see each other at Pain for Pride.
Adam Lucas: That’s good of you to say and maybe we will.
Limmy Monaghan: It’s true. Just because I don’t always like the way this place is ran, or how opportunities are given, that doesn’t mean I don’t want someone to achieve their dreams. Reality is, it’s not your fault you’re the number one contender, it’s Hawk’s, maybe even Impact’s.
(Adam nods his head, though he still couldn’t bring himself to agree.)
Adam Lucas: Agree to disagree then?
Limmy Monaghan: That’s fine with me. Don’t take offense if I name drop you a few times, though, right?
(Adam chuckles, bringing a smirk to Limmy’s face.)
Adam Lucas: Dude, everyone name drops me, when should you be any different?
Limmy Monaghan: Well, for you I’ll try and keep it to a minimum.
Adam Lucas: You’re all heart.
(Limmy laughs again. The fact was the two of them could probably be good friends if it wasn’t for the same level they were competing at.)
Adam Lucas: So, you ready for Grand Rampage? Gonna be tough.
Limmy Monaghan: Ready as I’ll ever be
Adam Lucas: Ain’t nobody going to tell you that you don’t deserve it right?
Limmy Monaghan: That’s the plan. There’s a few others though with the same ideas, Impact included.
(Adam winces at the mere mention of Impact’s name, his hand still bearing the scars from the pizza cutter.)
Adam Lucas: He’s going to go for this full on that’s for sure.
Limmy Monaghan: And I don’t blame him. He won a match he believed got him the next shot and he’s had to wait… again, not your fault. All that’s done though is make him more determined, even if I don’t like the way he treats Showdown like his own playground.
Adam Lucas: I must admit, I was surprised he wasn’t next.
Limmy Monaghan: It is what it is. What about you? Ready to be World Champion?
Adam Lucas: Ready for sure… whether I’ll get the chance, who knows?
Limmy Monaghan: TLA is certainly one tough son-of-a-bitch, I found that for myself. But he’ll give you chances, you just gotta take them.
Adam Lucas: Yeah, easier said than done right?
Limmy Monaghan: For sure. But you’ve gotten the opportunity, so go out there and make the most of it. Then hopefully we’ll see each other for Part Three at Pain for Pride?
Adam Lucas: That would be quite a moment
Limmy Monaghan: Who’d have thought when I was in Insurgency that we’d be on the cusp of our own trilogy.
Adam Lucas: It does seem like our careers are connected, but if that means pushing each other to be better…
Limmy Monaghan: We both benefit. Yeah, I can buy into that. We just need to both play our part this weekend. I’ll certainly be watching later bro, that’s for sure.
(Adam smirks, glad that the issue that had seemingly been between the two of them was now resolved. Limmy was one of those like him, earmarked for the future, the two of them headlining Pain for Pride would just solidify that fact. The two are about to share a fist bump, when Lexi walks into shot, wrapping her arms around Limmy.)
Lexi: YAYYY, my two favorite men in the same place and being all nice to each other and stuff. I’m SOOOOO proud of you both right now, it makes me tingle or over.
(She let’s go of Limmy, and then makes a beeline for Adam, holding out her arms for a hug, but Adam steps backwards and holds up his hands. Lexi scowls, but quickly forgets about it, apparently having the memory of a Goldfish.)
Lexi: I’ve been looking for Bethany all over, I even checked the showers, and she wasn’t there which was a real shame. Anyways, I’ve been thinking, since you two are now all friends and stuff and getting on like a house on fire why don’t we go on a DOUBLE DATE? Isn’t that just the best idea?
(Adam looks over at Limmy, who turns to Adam, his eyes widening like a fox in the headlights.)
Lexi: I mean let’s face it, Adam will be World Champion, that’s a given. Limmy is going to beat everyone else and win Grand Rampage and be the last man standing. Bethany and Camille will win their Tag team match and we will have so many reasons to celebrate. It’s a great idea don’t you think?
(Adam just smirks, seeing the look on Limmy’s face and knowing exactly what he is thinking.)
Lexi: Ooo, Oo, Oo … I just had another fantastic idea. Adam this is your hometown, so you can show Limmy all the best spots. I can’t wait, we are going to have the BEST time.
Adam Lucas: Uhhhh…
(Adam once again looks at Limmy, who whilst Lexi is looking at Adam, quickly shakes his head, making it clear he wants no part of this. Adam just smirks, seeing Limmy’s pure terror.)
Adam Lucas: Sure, why not? Could be fun.
(Limmy’s jaw drops, totally horrified.)
Adam Lucas: Well, wish I could hang around but I have a match to prepare for. I’ll see you two lovebirds tomorrow.
(Adam walks off down the corridor laughing, the comic relief helping settle him for his Answers World Championship match later. Lexi though is beside herself, and so happy.)
Lexi: YAY, this is going to be awesome. Make sure you wear something nice and look hot. Well, you always look hot, what am I talking about? We are going to have the best time, you’ll see. This is totes amazing. Are you looking forward to it too?
(Limmy looks stunned.)
Limmy Monaghan: Errmm, what was that?
(He looks over in the direction of the Gorilla Position, something apparently grabbing his attention though there is nothing there. He bolts away from Lexi, who doesn’t seem to realize he is trying to get away from her. She watches as he almost runs away, a huge smirk forming on her face.)
Lexi: Ooooo, play hard to get huh? I LOVE tag you’re it.
(She then starts to run after him, giggling like a schoolgirl, as the scene fades to ringside and the next match graphic is flashed across the screen causing the EAW Universe to roar in approval!)
(The camera then goes over to the ring where Gina Romano is seen with a smile on her face and a microphone in her hand, ready to announce the first match on hand here tonight!)
Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SET FOR….
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
Gina Romano: AND IT IS FOR THE EAW SPECIALISTS CHAMPIONSHIP!!!
(“Recreant” by Chelsea Grin plays as Ximena Velasquez arrives heading out from the backstage area, getting a mixed reaction from the crowd. You can see the determination on her face, having been waiting for this opportunity for a while now, as she then begins to make her way down the ramp and towards the ring.)
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST…THE CHALLENGER….FROM EL PASO, TEXAS….WEIGHING IN AT 180 POUNDS…..XIIMMMENNNNNAAAA VEELLASSSQUUEEZZZZ!!!!!
Deadprez: Just look at the determination on Ximena Velasquez’s face here tonight. Ever since she arrived, she’s been on the come up. And even though there have been bumps in the road, we all know it’s only a matter of before she gets what she’s desired and becomes Champion. The question remains though, will tonight be that night? She came up just shy at Road to Redemption which was her last title venture; it didn’t help that some outside forces stopped her from contending for the Specialists Championship.
Eve: But knowing the history between these two people and everything that specifically Ximena has had to go through since the two of them crossed paths at King of Elite, the feeling is different tonight. If there’s anybody on this roster I have a strong feeling of dethroning Harper, it’s this woman, and she’s ready.
Gavin Kirkland: You know, women who are taller than me… man…
(“Sweet Dreams’ by Eurythmics, Annie Lennox & Dave Stewart plays as the crowd right away boos. Harper Lee walks out with the Specialists Championship around her waist, smirking arrogantly at the negative reaction, and taking it in while keeping laser focused on Ximena who is already standing in the ring.)
Gina Romano: AND HER OPPONENT….FROM CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA….WEIGHING IN AT 118 POUNDS…SHE IS THE REIGNING EAW SPECIALISTS CHAMPION……HAARRPPEERRR LEEEEE!!!!!!
Deadprez: On the other hand, we have Harper Lee, who has had a lot going for her. From her lengthy run as Specialists Champion which started at the tail end of 2021, to the Iconic Cup Tournament where she has a perfect record so far.
Eve: As much as Ximena would love to get her way, this is not going to be easy to overcome in the slightest. We’ve heard what she’s said about Ximena, and now it’s time to see if she can back it up, which she most likely can.
(Harper hands the title to the referee before he holds it up for the world to see, before ringing the bell.)
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Eve: AND HERE WE GO! This Specialists Championship match is underway as both Harper and Ximena circle the ring, and then they both lock up in a collar and elbow tie-up! And Ximena overwhelms Harper as she uses her strength and shoves Harper back!
Deadprez: And the Specialists Champion rolls out of the ring as Ximena rolls her eyes. Harper was looking to take Ximena down with some technical wrestling and use her speed and small size to her advantage, but it seems like Ximena had other plans. Harper has her hand up, telling Ximena to hold on a second before she slowly steps on the apron.
Harper Lee: (Off-Mic) BACK UP!
Gavin Kirkland: Soccer mom starting the match her way. And Ximena backs away and motions to Harper to step inside as she does. Harper gingerly steps back in the ring as they both step forward to the center of the ring.. AND HARPER TAKES A SWING AT XIMENA! BUT XIMENA DUCKS AND PICKS UP HARPER AND DRIVES HER BACK FIRST INTO THE CORNER AND GRABS HER BY THE FACE BUT HARPER DUCKS HER HEAD UNDER THE TOP TURNBUCKLE TRYING TO PLAY KEEP AWAY AS THE REFEREE STEPS IN AND FORCES XIMENA TO STEP BACK!
Deadprez: And Harper takes that one second to her advantage and delivers a hard forearm to the face of Ximena! That caught Ximena off guard as she falls back a few feet, and Harper runs and delivers a dropkick to the kneecap of Ximena! HARPER THEN RUNS OFF THE ROPE AND DRIVES THE KNEE INTO THE BACK OF THE HEAD TAKING DOWN XIMENA! It’s Harper with all the momentum in the early goings of this Specialists Championship match!
Crowd: BOOOOO!!!!!!!
Harper Lee: (Off-Mic) WHY THANK YOU! 🥰
Gavin Kirkland: :skip:
Eve: Harper, as always, not letting the crowd get into her head.
Deadprez: And Harper picks up Ximena by the hair, before Ximena delivers a shot to the midsection! Ximena tries to free herself from her grip, but Harper with one swift motion doubles down on her grip of the head and she repeatedly drives the knee into Ximena’s face! And then one more drops Ximena down, and Harper takes this chance to go to the top rope, what is she thinking here?! Ximena stands up and turns around ias Harper stands high and balances herself on the top rope –
Eve: XIMENA VELASQUEZ OUT OF NOWHERE RUNS AND HITS A BIG BOOT KNOCKING HARPER OFF THE TOP ROPE TO THE OUTSIDE FLOOR! Harper just landed HARD on the back of her head as she holds it in serious pain ringside as Ximena checks her nose for blood inside the ring after those many kicks to the face. Ximena looks over the top rope down at Harper, and gives a little grin.
Deadprez: Ximena steps out of the ring as Harper pulls herself up using the barricade, AND LOOK OUT!!! XIMENA RUNS AND SPEARS HARPER THROUGH THE BARRICADE!!!
Gavin Kirkland: NOT QUITE! HARPER JUST SIDESTEPPED AND XIMENA GOES SHOULDER FIRST THROUGH THE BARRICADE!!! THE ACTION IS FAST AND THE FURIOUS IN THIS MATCH SO FAR!
(An instant replay is shown of an irate Ximena Velasquez running forward at full speed, before Harper Lee moves out of the way leaving Ximena to collide against the barricade shoulder-first with a sickening thud and a look of pain on her face.)
Deadprez: Harper has that look on her face as if her life just flashed before her eyes. Harper as quick as she can picks up and rolls Ximena back inside the ring and goes for the first cover in this match!
OOOOONNNNNNEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!!!!!
Deadprez: KICK OUT FROM THE CHALLENGER! And Harper is right back on the attack though as she mounts on top of Ximena, and delivers several right hands before raining down elbow drops as Ximena tries covering up. Harper stands up and grabs the injured shoulder of Ximena, and she stomps on it! After that…SHE LEAPS AND STOMPS ON THE SHOULDER OF XIMENA AGAIN! Harper is doing it with a smile on her face as well.
Eve: Harper showing no mercy, doing whatever it takes to keep this title reign going even longer. And now Harper..she leaps at Ximena as she’s on a knee going for a roll-up! BUT XIMENA ROLLS THROUGH UP TO HER FEET HOLDING HARPER AS HARPER HAS THAT LOOK OF FEAR ON HER FACE AS SHE TRIES TO FIGHT OUT OF IT! BUT SHE CAN’T AS XIMENA HITS A RUNNING SAMOAN DROP! Ximena buys herself a little bit of time now as she scatters over to the corner and stirs to her feet.
Deadprez: Both women stand at the opposite corner of one another, and here comes Ximena with a full head of steam- BUT HARPER LEAPFROGS OVER TOP OF HER INTO A SUNSET FLIP PIN!!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
TTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Oh, XIMENA REVERSES IT INTO A PIN OF HER OWN!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
TTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Deadprez: KICK OUT FROM THE CHAMPION, AND BOTH WOMEN RACE TO THEIR FEET, AND XIMENA ALMOST TURNS HARPER INSIDE OUT WITH THAT CLOTHESLINE!! THE CROWD ERUPTED AT THAT! XIMENA NOW IN COMPLETE CONTROL AS THE TIDE TURNS AGAIN IN THIS CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH!
Eve: AND XIMENA PICKS UP HARPER LEE IN HER SIGNATURE BEARHUG! XIMENA IS SQUEEZING THE ABSOLUTE BREATH OUT OF HARPER AS HARPER IS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT A WAY OUT OF THIS! HARPER IS STRUGGLING TO BREATH! XIMENA BEGINS SWINGING HER RAPIDLY BACK AND FORTH, AND I DON’T KNOW HOW MUCH MORE OF IT HARPER CAN STAND. WHAT IS SHE GOING TO DO?! BUT OH NO…
Deadprez: HARPER LEE I THINK GOT A THUMB TO THE EYE OF XIMENA! THE REFEREE DIDN’T SEE IT AND CAUSED CAUSED XIMENA TO LET LOOSE OF HER GRIP OF THE BEARHUG! Harper now tries to catch her breath before Ximena turns around holding her eye, and Harper delivers a step up enzuigiri kick to the side of the head stunning Ximena! AND HARPER MIGHT BE LOOKING TO END THIS ONE –
Gavin Kirkland: XIMENA TURNS AROUND, AND HARPER LEE GOES FOR THE “DRAGON FIST!!!” THE RIGHT HOOK – BUT NO! XIMENA CATCHES HER FIST…AND UH OH, A LOOK OF PAIN COMES ACROSS THE SPECIALISTS CHAMPIONS FACE! XIMENA IS SQUEEZING HARPER’S HAND TO DEATH!!! AND THEN IN ONE SWIFT MOTION, XIMENA PICKS HER UP IN A POWERSLAM POSITION, BUT HARPER SLIPS OUT FROM BEHIND – AND UH OH!!
Eve: HOUSE OF BALLOONS!!!!!!! THE BACKSTABBER ON XIMENA!!!
Deadprez: HARPER REACHES FOR XIMENA TO GO FOR THE COVER, BUT XIMENA USES HER RING AWARENESS AND ROLLS OUT TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE RING, AS HARPER LETS OUT A SCREAM IN FRUSTRATION!
Gavin Kirkland: The soccer mom seems angry. :mjlol:
Eve: Harper gets back to her feet now, wondering what to do next in this match. Ximena is weakened and she knows that AND UH OH, HARPER LEE RUNS OFF THE ROPES AND….TOPE CON HILO!!!!!
Deadprez: WHAT?! XIMENA USES HER STRENGTH ADVANTAGE AND CATCHES HER ON HER SHOULDER, AND SHE’S WALKING WITH HER….AND XIMENA POWERBOMBS XIMENA RIGHT ON THE EDGE OF THE RING APRON!!
Gavin Kirkland: Soccer mom took a risk and it didn’t pay off, paying big time for it. Ximena now is the one who smells blood in the water as she picks Harper up and throws her back inside the ring. Ximena climbs up the apron and ascends up the top rope next to her. Ximena stands tall, and…THE ELBOW DROP RIGHT TO THE HEART OF HARPER!! XIMENA HITS IT AND GOES FOR THE COVER HOPING TO WIN HER FIRST CHAMPIONSHIP!!
OOOOONNNNNNEEEEEE!!!!
TTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRREEEEEE!!!!!
Eve: THE KICKOUT FROM HARPER LEE! Ximena knows she can’t let it get in her head or overthink anything Ximena now slowly grabs Harper by the head looking for her next move in this match, and Harper pushes her away creating some distance before Harper ducks a clothesline and pulls her in and delivers a ripcord knee strike! The knee strike causes Ximena to stumble backwards into the corner, and now it’s Harper’s chance!
Deadprez: HARPER RUNS AND DRIVES BOTH OF HER KNEES INTO THE CHEST OF XIMENA IN THE CORNER, ABD SHE FOLLOWS IT WITH A MONKEY FLIP TO THE CENTER OF THE RING….BUT XIMENA LANDS ON HER FEET SOMEHOW!! HARPER IS UNAWARE AS SHE TURNS AROUND –
Gavin Kirkland: AND XIMENA CONNECTS WITH THE “SPEAR!!!!” THE COVER!!!! SHE’S GOT IT!!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
TTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRREEEEEE!!!!
Deadprez: HARPER LEE KICKS OUT AGAIN!! Ximena doesn’t let it phase her as she stands up and begins to stalk Harper as she is slowly rising to her feet. XIMENA IS GOING FOR THE “XV”! THE ONE ARMED POWERBOMB – BUT HARPER LEE IS TRYING TO FIGHT OUT OF IT!
Eve: WHILE IN THE AIR, HARPER SOMEHOW TRANSITIONED INTO A HURRICANRANA, AND XIMENA HITS FACE FIRST INTO THE SECOND TURNBUCKLE! Ximena is a sitting duck there and Harper knocks it as she runs to the opposite corner and charges….AND SHE DRIVES HER KNEE INTO THE BACK OF XIMENA’S HEAD IN THE CORNER!! COULD XIMENA BE IN SOME TROUBLE HERE?
Deadprez: Harper turns her around and delivers a right hand before lifting her up on the top rope! This is extremely risky here as she goes up top with her! :lupe:
Gavin Kirkland: Two women on top. :drakelike:
Eve: ANYWAYS, Harper is trying to set up for a superplex here, but Ximena once again uses her strength advantage to her benefit, not allowing it to happen. AND A HEADBUTT FROM XIMENA!! A RIGHT HAND FROM HARPER! BOTH WOMEN BATTLING FOR CONTROL ON THE TOP ROPE RIGHT NOW!
Deadprez: FOREARM SHOT BY FIREARM SHOT FROM HARPER NOW! HARPER LOOKS LIKE SHE’S THE ONE WHOSE GAINES CONTROL BACK…AND OH MY GOD!!! A HURRICANRANA FROM THE TOP ROPE TAKES OUT XIMENA!
Eve: HARPER DOESN’T STOP THERE AND XIMENA QUICKLY SPRINGS BACK UP TO HER FEET… BUT RIGHT INTO THE “DRAGON PUNCHHH!!!”THE RIGHT HOOK KNOCKS DOWN XIMENA AS HARPER DROPS DOWN TO MAKE THE COVER AND RETAIN HER TITLE!!
OOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEE!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT XIMENA STAYS ALIVE!
Deadprez: Harper thinks of what to do next, and she looks up to the top as she rolls underneath the bottom rope and begins to climb up the top turnbuckle, what is she thinking? HARPER LEAPS OFF THE TOP ROPE GOING FOR THE DIVING SENTON –
Eve: BUT XIMENA GOT THE KNEES UP AT THE LAST POSSIBLE SECOND!! AND HOLD ON A SECOND, SHE RIGHT AWAY TRANSITIONS INTO A CALF CRUSHER SUBMISSION!!!! XIMENA WRENCHING BACK ON THAT LEG AS HARPER LEE SCREAMS IN PAIN, TRYING TO REACH OUT FOR THE ROPES A FEW FEET AWAY FROM HER, BUT CAN SHE MAKE IT?
Gavin Kirkland: Soccer mom has her hand out…BUT XIMENA PULLS AND APPLIES EVEN MORE PRESSURE! HARPER IS ALMOST PULLING HER HAIR OUT NOT WANTING TO TAP OUT, AND SHE TRIES REACHING OUT FOR THE ROPES ONE LAST TIME –
Deadprez: AND OUT OF ADRENALINE SHE STRETCHES HER BODY OUT JUST ENOUGH TO GRAB THE ROPE AND FORCE XIMENA TO BREAK THE HOLD! Ximena stands and grabs her feet, quickly dragging her back to the center of the ring, but Harper pushes her away with her feet, and both charge at one another once more….AND HARPER SIDESTEPS SENDING XIMENA INTO THE CORNER AND –
Eve: THE INSIDE CRADLE FROM HARPER!!!
OOOOONNNNNNEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOO!!!!!
TTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEE!!!!!!
Deadprez: HARPER’S HOLDING THE BOTTOM ROPE!!!!
….
…..
Eve: THE REFEREE SPOTS IT!!! HARPER LEE STANDS UP AND GETS IN THE REFEREE’S FACE NOW! I’M SO CONFUSED, BECAUSE HARPER USUALLY ISN’T THE ONE TO PULL SOMETHING LIKE THAT!
Harper Lee: (Off-Mic) DO YOUR JO –
Gavin Kirkland: THIS TIME IT’S XIMENA!! XIMENA ROLLS UP HARPER FROM BEHIND!!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEE!!!!!!!
Eve: HARPER LEE ESCAPES OUT OF IT!! BOTH WOMEN ARE UP, AND HARPER DUCKS A CLOTHESLINE, AND SHE SPRINGBOARDS OFF THE SECOND ROPE – AND SHE CONNECTS WITH THE CUTTER!! HARPER LEE THOUGH DOESN’T GO FOR THE COVER, KNOWING IT’S LIKELY GOING TO TAKE MORE THAN THAT, AND OH MY GOD, LOOK –
Deadprez: SHE TRANSITIONS INTO A CALF CRUSHER OF HER OWN!!! THE “DEVIL’S FRUIT!!!!” HARPER HAS XIMENA DEAD TO RIGHTS RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING!! XIMENA HAD THIS LOCKED IN ON HARPER EARLIER, AND NOW SHE’S RETURNING THE FAVOR! IS XIMENA GOING TO SUBMIT HERE?!
Eve: XIMENA TRYING TO USE HER STRENGTH TO DRAG HERSELF TO THE ROPES, BUT IS HAVING LITTLE TO NO LUCK, AND HARPER APPLIES THE MAXIMUM PRESSURE! I THINK XIMENA IS GOING TO TAP AS SHE RAISES ONE HAND –
Gavin Kirkland: HOLY SHIT!! XIMENA GRABS AHOLD OF HARPER’S HEAD TO HER SIDE AND REPEATEDLY SLAMS THE BACK OF HER HEAD INTO THE MAT CAUSING HER TO BREAK THE HOLD!! Both women throwing everything they have at one another here tonight, all to be called the Specialists Champion.
Eve: After several seconds now, both women make their way up to their feet gingerly, both favoring the leg that was locked in on each others calf crushers, AND A FOREARM FROM HARPER! A FOREARM STRIKE FROM XIMENA! BOTH WOMEN EXCHANGING SHOTS WITH EACH OTHER BACK AND FORTH!! AND A HEADBUTT OUT OF NOWHERE TAKES DOWN HARPER AND SHE ROLLS UNDERNEATH THE BOTTOM ROPE! Ximena reaches over the top rope and grabs her by the head –
Deadprez: ANOTHER FOREARM TO THE FACE FROM HARPER LEE!! XIMENA DROPS DOWN TO A KNEE BEFORE – HARPER LEE CONNECTS WITH A SLINGSHOT SPEAR!! THE COVER AGAIN!!
OOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
TTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEE!!!!!!!
Eve: KICKOUT AGAIN FROM THE CHALLENGER!! Harper pounds the mat showing a sign of frustration.
Deadprez: Harper…SHE GRABS THE ARMS OF THE GROUNDED XIMENA! SHE LOOKS TO BE GOING FOR “SLEEPING ON THE FLOOR!!!”
Gavin Kirkland: NOPE!! XIMENA SLIDES FROM UNDERNEATH HARPER’S LEGS AND STANDS FACING HER BACK…AND SHE PICKS HER UP IN A REVERSE FIREMAN’S CARRY-
Deadprez: A LEAPING BACKBREAKER!!! ONE OF XIMENA’S SIGNATURE MOVES IN HER ARSENAL, AND SHE’S NOT DONE!!!! SHE QUICKLY PICKS HARPER UP AND PUTS HER IN POSITION AND LIFTS HER UP –
Eve: “XV!!!!!!” THE ONE ARMED POWERBOMB!!! XIMENA VELASQUEZ HOOKS THE INSIDE LEG! WE’RE GOING TO HAVE A NEW CHAMPION!!!
OOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
TTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEE!!!!!
….
….
Eve: NO WAY!!!! THE REFEREE SEES HARPER’S LEG UNDER THE BOTTOM ROPE! WHAT RING AWARENESS FROM THE SPECIALISTS CHAMPION THAT JUST SAVED HER REIGN FOR NOW!!
Deadprez: Ximena can’t believe it because she was sure she had the title won there as I’m pretty sure all of us did. The million dollar question is, was that her best shot?
Gavin Kirkland: We’re about to find out as Ximena picks up the lifeless body of Harper and looks to go for”XV” again!!! AND OH MY –
Eve: BACK BODY DROP FROM HARPER BEFORE SHE COLLAPSES BACK DOWN TO THE MAT!! That might have took everything out of Harper to just escape that and save herself and her title for the moment. Both women are down and both are exhausted to all hell, who wants it more?
Deadprez: After several moments now, Harper is stirring to her feet as Ximena slowly pulls herself up in the corner, AND HARPER WITH PERHAPS HER LAST BURST OF ENERGY RUNS AND DELIVERS A RUNNING DROPKICK TO THE FACE OF XIMENA IN THE CORNER! SHE RUNS TO THE OPPOSITE ROPES AND HITS THE RUNNING DROPKICK A SECOND TIME, AND THEN…A THIRD TIME!! XIMENA MIGHT BE IN SOME REALLY DEEP TROUBLE HERE –
Eve: BUT XIMENA OUT OF DESPERATION RUNS AND SPEARS HARPER THROUGH THE SECOND ROPES AND THEY BOTH GO CRASHING TO THE FLOOR! Harper looked like she was about to put the finishing touches on this title defense, and Ximena went into desperation mode to save herself, and for the time being, it worked. Both stir to their feet on the outside, and Harper grabs her by the head…BUT A VICIOUS HEADBUTT SENDS HARPER BACKWARDS ONTO THE GERMAN ANNOUNCE TABLE!! AND XIMENA WALKS OVER AND REPEATEDLY USES HER HEAD AS A BATTERING RAM AGAINST HARPER’S WHO IS OUT ON THAT TABLE!
Gavin Kirkland: Oh no….XIMENA QUICKLY CLIMBS UP THE APRON AND GOES TO THE TOP ROPE! THIS FAR INTO THE MATCH, IT’S EITHER A HIT OR MISS. YOU MISS, YOU MIGHT AS WELL KISS THIS MATCH GOODBYE, BUT SHE’S GOING FOR IT ANYWAY. HARPER STILL HASN’T MOVED!!
Eve: AND SHE LEAPS AND GOES FOR HER SIGNATURE ELBOW DROP THROUGH THE TABLE –
Deadprez: NOBODY HOME!!!!! :damn:
Gavin Kirkland: Soccer mom woke up and got out of the way at the last possible split second as Ximena goes through the German announce table. I think Ximena’s chances may have just gone up in smoke.
German Announcers: OH MEIN GOTT, WILLST DU MICH VERSPRECHEN!!!!
ONE!!
TWO!!
THREE!!
Deadprez: Harper looks at Ximena’s unconscious body, and sees how much pain she’s in herself, and it looks like she’s heading back towards the ring. She’s going to play it smart health and strategy wise and go for the count out win and keep the title.
FOUR!!
FIVE!!
(Harper Lee rolls back into the ring very slowly.)
SIX!!
Crowd: BOOOOOO!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: As we can all tell the crowd doesn’t like it one bit, but I don’t think she cares at all. The soccer mom is all about strategy, kinda like how she tapped the other week immediately to save energy. She’s been through hell and a win is a win. Ximena still hasn’t moved.
SEVEN!!
(Ximena twitches in the announce desk rubble showing signs of movement.)
EIGHT!!
Eve: SHE’S OUT OF THE RUBBLE, BUT SHE’S STILL A WAYS FROM THE RING!!!
NINE!!!
TEN!!!
….
Eve: HARPER LEE RETAINS THE TITLE!!
Deadprez: NO!!!!! A RANDOM.BURST OF ADRENALINE HIT XIMENA AND SHE JUST BARELY MAKES IT BACK IN THE RING! HARPER LEE LITERALLY CAN’T BELIEVE IT!!
Eve: HARPER LOOKS LIKE SHE’S HAD ENOUGH OF THIS AS SHE APPROACHES THE LIFELESS BODY OF XIMENA AND GRABS BOTH OF THE ARMS….SHE’S GOING FOR “SLEEPING ON THE FLOOR” –
Deadprez: IT CONNECTS!!!!!! THE EXHAUSTED HARPER LEE TAKES A FEW SECONDS BEFORE FLIPPING XIMENA ON HER BACK AND SHE HAS THE COVER FOR THE WIN!!!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRREE!!!!!!!!!
…
….
…..
Deadprez: ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!!?!?! XIMENA JUST BARELY AND I MEAN BARELY GETS THE SHOULDER UP!!!! HARPER LEE IS IN ABSOLUTE DISBELIEF!!!
Eve: An exhausted Harper lays next to the lifeless Ximena holding her head, wondering what else she has to do in order to finally put Ximena away for good. We asked earlier if it was the million dollar question if Ximena hit Harper with her best shot. Both have taken everything and more, and are still fighting, but now we gotta ask if it’s the other way around. Harper stands and looks around before looking back down at her opponent, and UH OH! SHE DROPS DOWN TO THE MAT AND IS LOOKING TO LOCK IN THE “FOLDABODY” FROM THE GROUND!!! THIS IS HARPER’S SUBMISSION THAT WILL FOR SURE PUT THE MATCH AWAY –
Deadprez: XIMENA KNOWS THAT AND STILL HAS SOME FIGHT LEFT IN HER THOUGH, BECAUSE SHE’S FIGHTING WITH WHAT STRENGTH SHE HAS LEFT TO NOT LET IT HAPPEN! HARPER CAN’T EXACTLY DO IT, AND…XIMENA ROLLS THROUGH AND BOTH TRY GETTING TO THEIR FEET, BUT HARPER IS A BIT QUICKER AND RUNS WITH A KNEE, BUT SHE RUNS RIGHT INTO A SPINEBUSTER OUT OF NOWHERE!!! ONCE AGAIN IN THIS MATCH, BOTH WOMEN ARE DOWN.
Gavin Kirkland: Several moments later, both women crawl in opposite directions, and slowly begins pulling themselves up with the ring ropes, and both turn around to face each other…AND HARPER LEE CHARGES AND LOOKS TO CONNECT WITH “THE DRAGON FIST” RIGHT HAND –
Deadprez: BUT INSTEAD SHE RUNS RIGHT INTO A BIG BOOT!!! NOW IT’S HARPER WHO MIGHT BE IN SOME SERIOUS TROUBLE!! AND XIMENA RUNS OFF THE ROPES WITH PERHAPS HER LAST GASP…AND SHE GOES FOR HER “SPEAR” –
Eve: OH NO!! HARPER LEE REVERSED IT AND TURNED IT INTO A SPINNING TORNADO DDT SPIKING XIMENA’S HEAD INTO THE MAT! Both woman making the other work for anything they do in this match not willing to give an inch. Now, what is in the mind of Harper to try and put this match away?
Gavin Kirkland: I think she may be going for a kill shot to make a statement because she’s stalking Ximena like a predator does its prey, and Ximena is finally up to her feet, AND HARPER LEE GOES FOR “HOUSE OF BALLOONS –
Eve: THE BACKSTABBE – NO!!! XIMENA HOLDS ON TO THE ROPES FOR DEAR LIFE SAVING HERSELF AS HARPER FALLS BACK FIRST TO THE MAT AND XIMENA RIGHT AWAY DELIVERS A JUMPING DOUBLE FOOT STOMP TO THE CHEST!!! HARPER ONCE AGAIN IS GASPING FOR AIR AS XIMENA SLOWLY REACHES BOTH OF HER FEET.
Deadprez: XIMENA REACHES DOWN AND GRABS HARPER BY THE HEAD, LOOKING HER DEAD IN THE EYE! XIMENA IS LOOKING TO END THIS RIGHT NOW…BUT HARPER SLAPS HER HANDS AWAY…AND A ROUNDHOUSE KICK OUT OF NOWHERE! XIMENA DROPS DOWN TO A KNEE AND ONCE MORE HARPER RUNS OFF THE ROPES…AND SHE HITS A SHINING WIZARD RIGHT TO THE FACE!! …NOW WHAT IS HARPER DOING?!
Eve: HARPER GOES UP TOP ONCE MORE, AND SHE’S GOING FOR HER DIVING SENTON – XIMENA MOVES OUT OF THE WAY AND NOBODY IS HOME!! I ASSUMED HARPER THOUGHT SHE HAD TO BE SURE BEFORE GOING FIR THE PIN, BUT XIMENA STILL ISN’T DOWN AND OUT YET! Harper slowly comes back to her feet holding her midsection –
Deadprez: HARPER TURNS AROUND, AND XIMENA GOES FOR HER SPEAR…
Eve: BUT HARPER SEES IT AND SIDE STEPS IT AT THE LAST SECOND!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT XIMENA RUNS OFF THE OPPOSITE ROPES EVEN FASTER…..AND BEFORE HARPER CAN KNOW WHAT’S HAPPENING, XIMENA HITS HER WITH HER VICIOUS SPEAR NEARLY SLICING HER IN HALF!!
Deadprez: SHE ISN’T DONE YET AS SHE GRABS HARPER AND LIFTS HER UP INTO ‘XV’! THE ONE ARM POWERBOMB CONNECTS!!! XIMENA HOOKS THE LEG!!! DO WE HAVE A NEW CHAMPION?!?
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEE!!!!!!!
…
….
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
( “Recreant” by Chelsea Grin plays as the crowd absolutely roars into a thunderous reaction. Ximena Velasquez gets up to a kneeling position, exhausted, but at a loss of words.)
Gina Romano: HERE IS YOUR WINNER…AND THE NEEWWWWWW EAW SPECIALISTS CHAMPION……XIIMMMENNNNAAA VEEELLLASSSQQUUEEZZZZZ!!!!!
(The referee hands Ximena the Specialists Championship before raising her hand.)
Deadprez: WOW! Ximena has done it, she has knocked off Harper Lee and is the new Specialists Champion, and what a way she earned it tonight too.
Eve: Loss for words, an amazing match between two competitors who showed just how much they wanted to call themselves the Specialists Champion, and tonight Ximena wanted it just a little bit more. Harper had a great reign and there’s so much she can look forward to, but now, we’re in the era of Ximena! Congratulations once again!
(The final shot is of Ximena Velasquez celebrating her championship victory, while Harper sits against the barricade outside, disappointed with her head down.)
(A commercial is shown for Ronan Malosi’s ghostwriting services. Wanna know why he did so good this week? :mjgrin:)
(The next graphic flashes across the screen.)
(“Faneto” by Chief Keef begins to play through the speakers as SOSA Henderson comes out with a look of confidence on his face.)
Stephie Love: THE FOLLOWING MATCH IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!!!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!!!!
Stephie Love: INTRODUCING FIRST…FROM PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA… WEIGHING IN 191 POUNDS… “BULLETPROOF”…SOSA HENDERSON!!!!!
Jake Mercer: For what seems to be weeks, SOSA Henderson and Xander Payne have had their issues with one another. They look to settle them tonight in this match, but for SOSA he seems to be a bit of the talk of the town.
Stew-O: What SOSA Henderson is looking to do tonight is put Xander and take him out of action permanently. Is that something that he’s going to do?
Flannery McCoy: Who knows? To him, it’s about getting Xander Payne out of the way, so that he can focus on the rest of this Pain for Pride season! But, I don’t think that Xander is going to go down easily!
(“It Follows” by Cane Hill begins to replace “Faneto” as the crowd instantly boos as Xander Payne comes out. He seems to be focused on SOSA, who is warming up inside the ring.)
Stephie Love: AND INTRODUCING HIS OPPONENT…FROM TORONTO, ONTARIO, CANADA…WEIGHING IN 240 POUNDS…HE IS “THE PAYNEKILLER”…XANDER PAYNE!!!!!
Jake Mercer: Now, here’s a man who considers himself a victim in this situation. Xander Payne wants nothing more than to end this whole situation with SOSA and look forward to Pain for Pride. Honestly, these two see each other as nothing more than roadblocks for their success.
Stew-O: I mean, that’s one way to put it. Xander believes that SOSA is not the same man that he once was. He mentioned his failed attempts of winning matches. He mentioned his career path since losing the EAW Champion. He’s said that he was never going to be like his mentor, The Heart Break Boy.
Flannery McCoy: Some harsh words from Xander this week, but I’m curious to see how this one goes down!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Jake Mercer: This match is underway and the two Elitists meet in the middle of the ring! Oooh, it seems like we’re getting a bit of exchange between these two before the match!
(The camera pans to Xander Payne and SOSA Henderson inside the ring. Obviously, Xander Payne is talking because he loves to hear himself talk. Meanwhile, SOSA Henderson looks like he wants to get this match going.)
Xander Payne: (off-mic) You’re not on my level, SOSA. You think you are, but you’re not. You are nowhere near it. You wish that you can be as good as me. You wish that you can have an ounce of my work ethic. You wish that you are as handsome as me.
SOSA Henderson: :comeagain:
Xander Payne: (off-mic) I think that you should have stayed back in Hollywood or whatever hole you crawled out of because you aren’t going to win a World Championship. You aren’t going to be headlining Pain for Pride. Most importantly, you aren’t going to prove that you’re worth shit to this company–
Stew-O: A GIANT BOOT TO THE FACE OF XANDER PAYNE! MY LORD, THAT TAKES XANDER TO HIS BACK!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: Did Xander Payne roll himself out of the ring as well? :comeagain:
Jake Mercer: If we had to find a way to shut up Xander and get to the wrestling, I guess, that was one way to do so.
Stew-O: Xander Payne is trying to find his way up to his feet, but you can see that he’s currently dizzy and trying to look for a way to spot and keep himself on his feet.
Flannery McCoy: IT SEEMS LIKE SOSA HENDERSON IS LOOKING TO KNOCK THE FORMER WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION OFF HIS FEET AGAIN AS HE FLIES TO THE OUTSIDE, LANDING AN OVER-THE-TOP-ROPE MOONSAULT PLANCHA ON XANDER PAYNE! XANDER IS TAKEN DOWN AS SOSA FINDS HIS WAY UP TO HIS FEET! HE PICKS UP XANDER BY THE NAPE OF HIS NECK, BUT –
(SOSA Henderson looks toward a very attractive woman in the front row. Most likely, an Instagram model before blowing her a kiss. He then focuses his attention on Xander Payne before…)
Jake Mercer: SOSA HENDERSON SPINS XANDER PAYNE AROUND BEFORE THROWING HIM BODY FIRST AGAINST THE STEEL STEPS! SOSA CHARGES TOWARD ‘THE PAYNEKILLER,’ CONNECTING WITH A BOOT TO THE FACE OF XANDER! That causes Xander to look a little dazed, but SOSA couldn’t care less as he picks up Xander, smashing him face-first against the hard part of the apron! Xander staggers back, but SOSA manages to get Xander into position before springboarding himself off the edge of the apron and nailing Xander with a bulldog! Xander gets taken down, but it seems like SOSA is trying to get Xander’s body on the apron! There’s a bit of a struggle there. :lupe:
Stew-O: Well, it’s difficult to get anyone, who isn’t supporting their own weight on the apron. It’s not a ‘Xander thing.’
Jake Mercer: :usure:
Stew-O: Yes, I am super positive.
Jake Mercer: :mjpls:
Flannery McCoy: SOSA Henderson gets Xander Payne on the apron, but it seems like SOSA is going to continue what he began at ringside! SOSA TAKES A STEP BACK AS HE CHARGES AT XANDER, HITTING AN APRON STOMP ON THE BACK OF XANDER’S SKULL!
Jake Mercer: No, Flannery! Xander Payne manages to pop out of completely nowhere, causing SOSA Henderson to miss the mark! Xander kicks SOSA in the stomach and Xander connects with a stunner, but SOSA manages to back away before Xander can hit the move! Xander falls into a seated position, but he’s quick to collect himself to his feet! SOSA meets him there as he tries to go for a knee strike, but Xander is able to block the knee strike. HE TAKES A STANCE BACK BEFORE NAILING SOSA IN THE CHEST WITH A SIDE-HANDED CHOP AT THE CHEST! THIS CAUSES SOSA TO RESPOND BY NAILING XANDER WITH A SIDE-HANDED CHOP TO THE CHEST! BUT, LOOK AT THE EXPRESSION ON XANDER’S FACE, I THINK THAT HE WANTS SOSA TO HIT HIM HARDER AND THAT CAUSES THE FORMER EAW CHAMPION, TO CONNECT WITH AN EVEN HARDER SIDE-HANDED CHOP TO XANDER’S CHEST. THAT PARTICULAR ONE MAKES HIM GO RED! SOSA FEELS QUITE FIRED UP AS XANDER HITS HIM WITH ANOTHER SIDE-HANDED CHOP TO THE CHEST!
Stew-O: NOW, XANDER PAYNE THROWS A PUNCH AT SOSA HENDERSON. THIS CAUSES SOSA TO STAGGER BACK A BIT, BUT HE FINDS HIS STANCE AND THROWS A PUNCH AT XANDER! XANDER WITH A PUNCH TO SOSA! SOSA WITH A PUNCH TO XANDER! XANDER! SOSA! XANDER! SOSA! XANDER! SOSA!
Flannery McCoy: My goodness, these two are going to knock each other off the apron! I don’t think that this match has taken place inside the ring yet. SOSA HENDERSON THROWS A PUNCH AT XANDER PAYNE, BUT XANDER CONNECTS WITH AN ‘OVERDOSE’ – THE PALM STRIKE TO THE NOSE OF SOSA OUT OF NOWHERE! OH GOD…
(The camera pans to SOSA Henderson who is clutching his nose, but he lets go as the blood begins to pour out of his nose. He looks at the blood on his fingers as he doesn’t seem to be fazed about it. He shrugs it off like no big deal.)
SOSA Henderson: (off-mic) I’ve had worse back in Philly.
Jake Mercer: HE HEADBUTTS XANDER PAYNE, WHO FALLS BACK IN THE PROCESS! BUT, SOSA HENDERSON IS CHARGING TOWARD XANDER, LEAPING OVER HIM BEFORE TAKING HIM DOWN WITH A DOUBLE FOOT STOMP TO THE FACE! :damn: :damn: :damn:
Stew-O: With that, SOSA Henderson rolls himself inside the ring, but pulls Xander Payne by the arm and slides him inside the ring! It seems like SOSA is going for the first pinfall attempt of the match!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTTTTWWWWWW–
Flannery McCoy: Xander Payne gets his arm up! This match is still continuing! SOSA Henderson sits Xander in a seated position and it seems like we’re going to see SOSA applying a chin lock on Xander! For someone who relies on power, I think this is the best thing that SOSA can do until he has a strategy on how to take down Xander! So far, he’s done a good job at trying to keep Xander down. SOSA realizes that if he gives Xander any room to get himself up, it might not be such a good thing for him.
Jake Mercer: As for Xander Payne, the longer he stays down, the worse it could be for him. He would need to find himself up to his feet and look at that, already taking my advice. He starts to show some signs of getting himself to his feet! You see that SOSA Henderson is trying to wrench in the chin lock, trying to keep Xander back, but Xander moves forward, and won’t you look at that? SOSA is trying to hold on to Xander, still having that glimmer of hope that he can keep the bigger man down, but Xander is getting closer to that rope to break the hold! He is almost there!
Stew-O: But, SOSA Henderson is pulling back Xander Payne! I think that SOSA may be looking for a way to apply the sleeper hold on Xander! He continues to try to pull back Xander from getting his hand on the ropes! SOSA seems quite determined to lock in the sleeper hold, but it seems like Xander is having a battle within his mind! Does he go for the ropes? Does he look to counter this move? One thing is for sure and that’s Xander Payne refuses to throw in the towel so early into the match! He –
Flannery McCoy: BACKPACK STUNNER ON SOSA HENDERSON! SMART COUNTER BY XANDER PAYNE THERE! HE WAS ABLE TO USE ENOUGH FORCE TO GET SOSA TO BREAK ANY ATTEMPT OF LOCKING IN THE SLEEPER HOLD ON XANDER! SOSA tries to roll himself to his feet! But, Xander as he gets SOSA by his hair before delivering a punch to his gut! SOSA holds his stomach in pain as Xander pulls ‘Bulletproof’ off his feet and it seems like he’s going to go for a powerbomb! He gets SOSA Henderson up above him as he has his eyes on the turnbuckle! It seems like Xander is going to connect with a turnbuckle powerbomb –
Jake Mercer: Not quite, Flannery! SOSA Henderson begins to unload on a bunch of punches to the top of Xander Payne’s skull, but it seems like Xander isn’t phased by those punches whatsoever, but it does kind of help SOSA with getting back down! Xander gets taken back by a superkick from SOSA, but finds his balance and is able to stand up straight! SOSA swipes the feet from ‘The Paynekiller’ as he manages to fall to one knee! SOSA takes a step back, his eyes remaining on Xander before rebounding himself off the vertical set of ropes and looking to nail Xander with a shining wizard! But, Xander ducks the kick at the last second, but manages to get SOSA on his shoulders like he was one of Xander’s children!
Stew-O: WITH SOSA HENDERSON SEATED ON XANDER PAYNE’S SHOULDERS, HE FALLS BACK, BUT HE COUNTERS WITH A POISON FRAKENSTEINER! BUT, XANDER SLIDES INTO A SEATED POSITION AS SOSA THOUGHT THAT HE TOOK XANDER DOWN, BUT XANDER BEGINS TO FIND HIS WAY BACK UP TO HIS FEET! SOSA turns around as Xander charges toward the former EAW Champion, wrapping one of his arms around the waist of SOSA, but then, gets his other arm as both of them are now wrapped around the waist of SOSA! It seems like Xander is going for a German, but SOSA elbows Xander in the face!
Flannery McCoy: SOSA Henderson gets released out of the grasp of Xander Payne before rebounding off the set of ropes quickly. Xander is bent forward, looking to be a hurdle in the way of SOSA, but SOSA uses Xander as some sort of bridge to flip himself to the other side! He rebounds himself off the ropes as Xander straightens himself up, only to get a dropkick to the back! THIS CAUSES THE FORMER WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION TO STUMBLE INTO THE ROPES IN FRONT OF HIM! SOSA WRAPS HIS ARMS AROUND THE WAIST OF XANDER AND GOES FOR AN O’CONNOR ROLL, BUT IT SEEMS LIKE XANDER SAW WHAT SOSA HAD WANTED TO DO! XANDER DROPS DOWN ON THE CHEST OF SOSA AS HE HOOKS HIM BY THE LEGS FOR THE COVER!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: But, it seems like Xander Payne jumps up to his feet, stopping the count! He has his hands wrapped around the neck of SOSA Henderson, lifting him from under him! Xander throws SOSA to one of the corners! He begins to stomp on SOSA in the ribs to the point where SOSA slowly falls to the mat at the corner! Xander is trying to keep SOSA’s head up! Xander is clutching the head of SOSA while muttering something.
Xander Payne: (off-mic) Don’t disappoint daddy HBB, SOSA. He’s watching from the retirement home.
Stew-O: Xander Payne shoves SOSA Henderson’s head back to the corner! By doing that and combined with that bit of trash-talking, it seems to have pissed off SOSA a bit. SOSA is clutching his ribs, trying to get himself to his feet! But, Xander connects with a giant boot to the face of SOSA, getting him back for what he did at the beginning of the match! This causes SOSA to go crashing back against the ropes! Xander begins to take a couple of steps back until he’s across the opposite corner to SOSA!
Flannery McCoy: XANDER PAYNE IS LOOKING TOWARDS SOSA HENDERSON BEFORE RUNNING TOWARDS HIM…CANNONBALL SENTON! I BELIEVE THAT XANDER CALLS THAT ‘HEATWAVE!’
Jake Mercer: ‘HOT PAYNEFUL SUMMER’ IS BEGINNING EARLY AS XANDER PAYNE CANNONBALLS ONTO SOSA HENDERSON! SOSA GETS FLATTENED LIKE A PANCAKE AS XANDER ROLLS UP TO HIS FEET, BUT HE POINTS A FINGER UP IN A SPINNING MOTION BEFORE TAKING A STEP BACK! OH GOD, SOSA IS GOING TO GET A SECOND DOSE OF A ‘HEATWAVE!’ THIS TIME, I FELT LIKE THE CANNONBALL HAD MORE OF AN IMPACT AS XANDER GETS HIMSELF BACK TO HIS FEET! He goes for a third ‘Heatwave’ and gets to his feet! It seems like we’re having ourselves a bit of a ‘Heatwave Cycle’ which is hilarious since The Bronx expected to rain today.
(In repetition, Xander Payne does five more ‘Heatwave’ cannonball sentons, which kind of makes it a ‘Heatwave Cycle.’ Each time, the fans cringe at the amount of weight that SOSA Henderson must be feeling from those cannonballs. Just in general, it’s not the most pleasant move to be on the receiving end of over and over again.)
Stew-O: I am starting to cringe at the ‘Heatwave Cycle’ that Xander Payne is putting SOSA Henderson through! Xander finds his way back to his feet after what seems to be the eighth ‘Heatwave’ and he looks to make it nine! He charges to SOSA before connecting with another ‘Heatwave’ cannonball senton! Xander rolls himself to his feet as he pulls SOSA by one of his legs and away from the corner! It seems like Xander is looking to go for a cover here!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: SOSA Henderson with a kick out! Now, we have Xander Payne who is almost showing the referee how to count to three by smacking his hands together quickly.
Jake Mercer: I thought the count was good by Dynasty standards of referees. :lupe:
Stew-O: We’ve had our referee issues in the past, but I thought the referee did a good count there. Xander Payne finds himself up to his feet as he gets SOSA Henderson by the nape of his neck! He gets SOSA up and connects with an inverted atomic drop before following that up with a release exploder suplex! Xander finds his way to his feet, giving a little room for SOSA to get back to his feet, but Xander runs towards SOSA, clotheslining him to the corner! But, he wraps his arms around the waist of the former EAW Champion and connects with a release German suplex! SOSA rolls to his knees as Xander follows up that release German by sliding and connecting with a basement dropkick, nailing the face of SOSA!
Flannery McCoy: Xander Payne finds himself to his feet as he’s looking at the fans while sarcastically clapping for SOSA Henderson! Almost like a: “what a performance from SOSA? Isn’t he great?”
Jake Mercer: He’s not looking great at the moment, but Xander Payne would love nothing more than to walk away with the victory! He wants nothing more than this so-called “nightmare” with SOSA Henderson to end! He gets SOSA to his feet by his braids and throws him against the horizontal set of ropes! SOSA rebounds himself off of those ropes – ‘Last Sedation’ – but SOSA pops down from the position of the powerbomb, and ducks Xander’s attempt at a clothesline before running towards the horizontal set of ropes behind him! He rebounds off those ropes as he charges towards ‘The Paynekiller,’ nailing a single leg dropkick, but that only seems to stagger back Xander a bit!
Stew-O: SOSA HENDERSON FINDS HIMSELF TO HIS FEET AS HE FOLLOWS THAT UP WITH A METEORA–BUT XANDER PAYNE IS ABLE TO CATCH HIM, CLUTCHING ONTO SOSA’S KNEES AS LOOKS TO GET SOSA INTO POSITION FOR THE ‘LAST SEDATION,’ BUT SOSA ROLLS OVER XANDER’S SHOULDER AND HE’S TRYING TO GO FOR A SUNSET FLIP ROLL-UP AS IT CONNECTS! IS SOSA GOING TO GET XANDER HERE?!?!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
TTTT–
Flannery McCoy: Xander Payne rolls out before the three count! He finds his way up to his feet, but SOSA Henderson beats him to the punch by knocking Xander over with a roundhouse kick! Xander stumbles back into the set of ropes as SOSA charges toward the former World Heavyweight Champion, connecting with a shotgun dropkick that sends Xander through the second rope and to the outside!
Jake Mercer: Xander Payne catches himself on the apron as SOSA Henderson rebounds off the horizontal set of ropes! He connects with a sliding dropkick to Xander’s side, knocking him off the apron in the process! But, SOSA lands in style on the apron as he stalks Xander back to his feet! At the first sign of Xander getting to his feet, SOSA JUMPS FROM THE APRON TO XANDER, TAKING HIM DOWN WITH A TORNADO DDT, USING THE EDGE OF THE APRON AS SOMETHING TO BOUNCE HIS FEET OFF IN THE PROCESS! SOSA FINDS HIMSELF TO HIS FEET! HE SEES THAT XANDER IS CLUTCHING HIS NECK AS HE’S FINDING HIMSELF IN A CRAWLING POSITION! SOSA CHARGES TOWARD XANDER, NAILING A BLOCKBUSTER ON XANDER! SOSA IS UP TO HIS FEET AND FEELING FIRED UP!
Stew-O: SOSA Henderson stalks Xander Payne up to his feet – ‘STOLE YO BITCH’ – THE JUMPING CUTTER, BUT XANDER PUSHES SOSA BEFORE HE COULD CONNECT WITH THE MOVE! XANDER RUSHES TO GET SOSA, BUT SOSA CONNECTS WITH A BACK ELBOW! He turns himself around before throwing a punch at Xander! Xander throws a punch at SOSA! The two Elitists are going at it with each other, trying to knock the other off their feet! SOSA gets Xander by his arm, looking to whip him to the barricade, but Xander counters that whip so that it’s SOSA that goes back first against the barricade! Xander charges towards ‘Bulletproof’ with a clothesline as that sends SOSA sliding into a seated position! Now, Xander begins to stomp on SOSA as the crowd doesn’t happen to be too crazy about that!
Xander Payne: (off-mic) Why the fuck are you all booing me? I am the victim here! :wtf:
Flannery McCoy: Xander Payne seems quite vocal tonight, but the crowd doesn’t seem to be too much of a fan of that! Xander places his foot on top of the face of SOSA! Oh god, that’s all of Xander’s weight on SOSA Henderson! I think that the referee may need to step in for this situation!
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! GET OFF OF HIM, XANDER!
Jake Mercer: Xander Payne unhappily gets his foot off of SOSA Henderson’s face! Xander gets SOSA from underneath his chin and lifts him back to his feet! Xander throws SOSA spine first against the edge of the apron! You can see the look of pain on SOSA’s face as Xander now has SOSA by his throat and lifts him up before connecting with a chokeslam, causing SOSA to land harshly on the apron! SOSA is clutching his lower back in pain as Xander meets SOSA on the apron! I have no clue what Xander has in store for SOSA now, but it can’t be too good. I don’t think that SOSA is in any position to defend himself!
Stew-O: Xander Payne gets SOSA Henderson up and connects with a northern lights bomb on top of the apron! SOSA goes crashing down as he is cringing his back in pain! Oh god, that didn’t look too pleasant, but Xander is rolling SOSA underneath the bottom rope and inside the ring! It seems like Xander is going for the top rope! With Xander wanting nothing more than to put SOSA away, he is going to need to bring out some of the big moves to have that happen! Xander has his eyes on SOSA who is laying flat on his back! What is Xander planning to do? Xander from the top rope –
Flannery McCoy: SWANTON BOMB FROM XANDER PAYNE, RIGHT ON TOP OF SOSA HENDERSON! DEAR LORD, I THINK THAT HE JUST CRUSHED THE RIBS OF SOSA! XANDER HOOKS THE LEG! IS THIS ALL THAT HE’S GOING TO NEED TO PUT SOSA AWAY?
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: SOSA Henderson gets his shoulder up and raises his hand up high, but Xander Payne manages to get SOSA Henderson by the arm! Xander gets that same arm of SOSA and behinds it back! Xander takes a step back before stomping on the hand of ‘Bulletproof!’ This causes SOSA to squirm in response, clutching his arm, but it seems like Xander is not done there! He looks to apply the grounded top wrist lock on SOSA! SOSA is trying to push Xander away from him! But, Xander manages to stomp behind the neck of the former EAW Champion before locking in the grounded top wrist lock! SOSA Henderson looks to be in a huge amount of pain at the moment! He’s trying to reach for the ropes in front of him, but SOSA wrenches in that arm of his, preventing him from using that hand! SOSA is trying to dig his nails into the mat, trying to move closer, but Xander is making that difficult for him!
Stew-O: Xander Payne is almost sitting on the spine of SOSA Henderson, so you can see why SOSA is having a tough time! He is clutching his fists over and over, trying to fight the urge to submit or make a decision that is going to give Xander the victory. The referee is asking SOSA if he wants to submit, but SOSA is shaking his head no! SOSA begins to use her available hand to hit the knee of Xander! SOSA is trying to shift his body to the left side, where Xander has his arm in the submission! SOSA is beginning to throw some punches there! But, SOSA manages to turn his body to the back, but Xander still has a grasp of SOSA’s arm! SOSA begins to throw some kicks before nailing Xander in the face, but Xander turns his attention from SOSA’s left arm to his legs!
Flannery McCoy: Xander Payne has one of SOSA Henderson’s legs and he’s trying to get the position of the other one! He does so and it seems like we’re going to be seeing him apply a sharpshooter on SOSA! Xander is twisting the legs of SOSA before turning him to his stomach! The sharpshooter is applied! Xander sits on the lower back of the former EAW Champion! This is an even tougher situation to be with! I do not want to be SOSA Henderson right now! SOSA is biting his fist, trying to fight through the pain! He’s trying to drag his body to the nearest bottom rope! He is digging his nails into the canvas, trying to inch his body closer, but Xander tries to scoot SOSA back and away from those ropes –
Jake Mercer: From that little opening with Xander Payne trying to stand up and move SOSA Henderson away, SOSA IS ABLE TO UNROLL HIMSELF UNDERNEATH XANDER’S LEGS AS HE COUNTERS WITH A ROLL-UP! IS SOSA GOING TO STEAL THE VICTORY HERE!??!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
TTTTT–
Stew-O: Xander Payne is able to get himself out of the roll-up attempt! He is the first one to his feet! SOSA Henderson slowly gets to his feet, but you can tell that he’s a little sore from the sharpshooter! Xander rushes forward to SOSA with a clothesline, but SOSA gets a good grasp of Xander’s arm before getting himself into a cradle position and connects with a cradle roll-up on Xander!
OOOOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: Xander Payne gets out of the roll-up attempt again as he rolls back to his feet! SOSA Henderson charges Xander, connecting with a bicycle knee strike to the forehead of Xander, causing him to stagger back for a tiny bit, but he manages to keep himself straight as SOSA follows that up with a superkick to the face of Xander, but that only seems to stagger Xander a tiny bit! SOSA connects with another superkick to the face, but Xander is able to catch SOSA’s foot! Xander forms a small smirk on his face as connects with a dragon screw leg whip on SOSA! Xander finds his way to his feet as he grabs the waist of SOSA before lifting up over his head and connecting with a deadlift German suplex!
Jake Mercer: That takes SOSA Henderson down as Xander Payne gets to his feet! Instead of getting SOSA up or going for the cover, it seems like Xander is heading to one of the corners diagonal to SOSA. He has one hand against the ropes as he delivers one stomp to the mat and then a moment later, he delivers another stomp and then, another one. Is he…
Stew-O: Is he mocking Hall of Famer and SOSA Henderson’s trainer, The Heart Break Boy? :comeagain:
Flannery McCoy: Is Xander Payne going for the Heart Break Boy’s finisher, ‘The Goldprint?’
Jake Mercer: Just imagine if Xander Payne manages to put away SOSA Henderson with his mentor’s finisher move? That would just be an insult to injury here. Xander pointed out how SOSA would never be able to achieve the same success that the Heart Break Boy did. Slowly, you can see that SOSA is getting back to his feet! Xander is stalking ‘Bulletproof’ back to his feet as Xander is anxiously stomping his foot as SOSA turns himself around! Xander rushes forward with a ‘Goldprint!’
Stew-O: SOSA Henderson ducks ‘The Goldprint,’ but he counters with a tornado kick as the force of the kick takes down Xander Payne! At the same time, it seems like it knocked the wind out of SOSA, taking him down as well! The two Elitists are on the mat! These two have really pushed each other, trying to establish their dominance over the other! The two men end up getting to their knees, looking at each other with disdain and hatred for each other! These two are quite determined to do what they need to do in order to walk out of Grand Rampage with a victory!
Flannery McCoy: XANDER PAYNE WITH A SLOPPY PUNCH TO SOSA HENDERSON! SOSA WITH A SLOPPY PUNCH IN RETURN TO XANDER! XANDER WITH ANOTHER SLOPPY PUNCH TO SOSA! SOSA WITH A SLOPPY PUNCH TO XANDER! THE TWO ELITISTS ARE THROWING QUITE SLOPPY/WEAK-LOOKING PUNCHES AT ONE ANOTHER! THESE TWO ARE LOOKING FOR THEIR SECOND WIND AS WE’RE HEADED TO THIS POINT OF THE MATCH! XANDER! SOSA! XANDER! SOSA! XANDER! SOSA! XANDER! SOSA! THESE TWO MEN ARE GOING BACK-AND-FORTH WITH EACH OTHER, TRYING TO KNOCK THE OTHER ONE OVER! NOT ONE OF THEM WANTS TO GIVE UP!
Jake Mercer: SOSA HENDERSON WITH AN AWFUL-LOOKING SLAP TO THE CHEST OF XANDER PAYNE! XANDER RETURNS THE FAVOR BY SLAPPING SOSA’S CHEST! SOSA WITH A SLAP TO XANDER’S CHEST! XANDER WITH A SLAP TO SOSA’S CHEST! XANDER! SOSA! XANDER! SOSA! XANDER! SOSA! THE TWO ELITISTS ARE FINDING THEIR WAY TO THEIR FEET AS THEY ARE CONTINUING TO THROW PUNCHES AT EACH OTHER! BUT, XANDER IS THE ONE WHO CONNECTS WITH A GIANT KNEE TO THE GUT OF SOSA BEFORE PICKING HIM UP AND CONNECTING WITH A TWISTING BRAINBUSTER THAT HE CALLS ‘RIPTIDE’ AS XANDER GOES FOR THE COVER!
OOOOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOO!!!!!!
Stew-O: SOSA Henderson kicks out! But, it seems like Xander Payne isn’t going to dread that as he begins to throw some stiff punches at SOSA! Xander gets SOSA by his hair and it seems like he’s more than looking to wrap up this match! He gets SOSA in position and it seems like he’s going for the ‘Paynekiller,’ which is his variation of the package piledriver! He tries to get SOSA up, but SOSA manages to drop his feet to the ground! Xander goes to scrunch SOSA’s legs together for the package piledriver, but SOSA manages to get his feet on the mat! XANDER REALIZES THAT SOSA IS NOT GOING TO GO DOWN WITH THAT MOVE BEFORE THROWING HIM AGAINST THE ROPES AS SOSA REBOUNDS FROM THEM– ‘LAST SEDATION!’ THE POP-UP POWERBOMB, BUT SOSA SHOVES XANDER OUT OF THE WAY!
Flannery McCoy: Xander Payne goes forward into a superkick by SOSA Henderson, but that only seems to make Xander go dizzy a bit! SOSA connects with another superkick to Xander and this time, this gets the former World Heavyweight Champion down to one knee! SOSA rebounds off the vertical set of ropes before nailing Xander with a shining wizard, but it seems like SOSA is now the one who is looking to wrap up this match for himself! He begins to take a step back until he backs up to the corner and he sits on the second rope as he extends his arm out, gesturing for Xander to get to his feet!
Jake Mercer: Oh god, I don’t think that Xander has any idea of what’s going to hit him! But, Xander Payne turns around –
Stew-O: SOSA HENDERSON CONNECTS WITH A SPEAR THAT TAKES DOWN XANDER PAYNE! THAT WAS A HELL OF A SPEAR RIGHT THERE! HE REALIZES THAT HE’S GOING TO NEED TO DO MORE IF HE WANTS TO TAKE XANDER DOWN AS HE HEADS FOR THE TOP ROPE! MAN, HE’S GOING TO CAVE THE BACK OF XANDER’S SKULL IN! THIS ISN’T GOOD FOR YOU XANDER STANS TONIGHT, BUT I DON’T THINK THAT SOSA GIVES A DAMN! BUT, IT SEEMS LIKE XANDER IS SCRAMBLING UP TO HIS FEET AS SOSA FROM THE TOP ROPE –
Flannery McCoy: ‘PAID IN FULL’ – THE DOUBLE STOMP TO THE FACE OF XANDER PAYNE AS HE LANDS RIGHT ON THE BACK OF HIS SKULL! SOSA HENDERSON WITH THE COVER!
OOOOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(“Faneto” begins to play through the speakers as the crowd gives a nice pop to SOSA Henderson who rolls off of Xander Payne, clearly exhausted from this match up.)
Stephie Love: THE WINNER OF THIS MATCH….SOSA HENDERSON!!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: These two wrestlers threw almost everything at each other, right? At least, there were no weapons involved.
Stew-O: I literally thought they did, but these two were hard-hitting and making this a true fight like I knew that these two would. Wonderful performance from Xander Payne, who I thought was going to walk away with the victory tonight. He really brought hell to SOSA Henderson and I thought that we were going to get a less than favorite result tonight.
Flannery McCoy: Honestly, SOSA Henderson showed a lot of determination tonight. He wanted nothing more than to get Xander Payne out of his hair and I think he did that exactly.
(The crowd is heard getting antsy, which gets the attention of the commentators. Meanwhile, SOSA Henderson is inside the ring, celebrating his win.)
Jake Mercer: Guys, inside the ring –
Stew-O: ***SPEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!***
Flannery McCoy: The spear cuts SOSA Henderson in half and who’s standing above him?
(The camera pans to the merciless stare of Mr. DEDEDE, the Chairman of the Board, looking down at SOSA Henderson, who is clutching his ribs after that harsh spear.)
Jake Mercer: For those that didn’t tune into Super Voltage, SOSA Henderson interfered in the last moments of the National Elite Championship between the champion, Donovan Duke and Mr. DEDEDE. He cost DEDEDE the title and told him to “keep his name out of his fucking mouth” or something along the lines.
Stew-O: Mr. DEDEDE ducks his head through the middle rope and gestures for something, but it seems like the audio can’t pick it up.
Mr. DEDEDE: (off-mic) I’m writing your fucking checks. Get me a chair or you’re fired.
(With that intimidation tactic, the timekeeper races to give Mr. DEDEDE a steel chair before handing it cautiously to DEDEDE, who snatches it away from him and gets his head inside the ring. Inside the ring, you can see that SOSA Henderson is slowly trying to get himself up.)
Flannery McCoy: MR. DEDEDE HOLDS THE CHAIR UP! HE SLAMS IT ONTO THE SPINE OF SOSA HENDERSON! THIS CAUSES SOSA TO GO BACK DOWN, BUT THAT DOESN’T STOP DEDEDE FROM SLAMMING THE STEEL CHAIR ONTO HIS SPINE AGAIN! AND AGAIN! AND AGAIN! AND AGAIN! SOSA TURNS TO HIS SIDE, BUT DEDEDE CONTINUES TO HIT HIM WITH THE STEEL CHAIR! AND AGAIN! AND AGAIN! AND AGAIN! AND AGAIN! My lord, how much can SOSA handle? He just competed in a competitive match against Xander Payne! He’s clearly exhausted and has no energy to fight back! One more slam of the steel chair to the spine of SOSA!
(The camera pans to Mr. DEDEDE holding up the steel chair, which now has a dent on it. He throws it across the ring before getting SOSA Henderson by his hair and throwing him to the outside. He goes over to the timekeeper’s area and grabs a steel chair that was previously sat by someone and shuts it closed.)
Jake Mercer: Another steel chair? :lupe:
Stew-O: The other one was dented, but SOSA Henderson is in a crawling position, trying to throw a punch at DEDEDE, but DEDEDE slams the steel chair onto SOSA’s spine once again, causing him to go down! Then, DEDEDE gets SOSA’s arm through the hole of the steel chair before getting SOSA up to his feet!
(Mr. DEDEDE has SOSA Henderson in position as he looks at the steel ring post, which causes the crowd to become quite concerned.)
Flannery McCoy: MR. DEDEDE THROWS SOSA HENDERSON ARM IN THE STEEL CHAIR FIRST AGAINST THE STEEL RING POST! :damn: :damn: :damn:
Jake Mercer: SOSA Henderson bobbles back in response as he’s clutching that arm of his, but it seems like DEDEDE is not done there! He gets SOSA, but doesn’t take SOSA’s arm off the steel chair! He is looking toward us…
Stew-O: More like our table, Jake. Let’s get out of here. We don’t want issues with DEDEDE.
(The commentators don’t need to be asked by Mr. DEDEDE to get the hell out of the way. They do so without questions or getting their papers. With SOSA’s hand under the steel chair, DEDEDE gets himself and SOSA on the table.)
Flannery McCoy: Oh my god, this isn’t going to be good!
Jake Mercer: Mr. DEDEDE lifts SOSA Henderson into position – ***’WINGS OF HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!’***
Stew-O: THE DIVING SIDE SLAM WITH THE STEEL CHAIR UNDER SOSA HENDERSON’S LEFT ARM! THAT MOVE MAKES OUR TABLE COLLAPSE! BUT, IT SEEMS LIKE MR. DEDEDE DOESN’T HAVE A SCRATCH ON HIM AS HE MAKES HIS WAY UP TO HIS FEET!
(Mr. DEDEDE crotches down to look at SOSA Henderson, who is completely out of it. The medical personnel goes to help SOSA, but DEDEDE halts them, preventing them from moving as he looks down at SOSA once again.)
Mr. DEDEDE: (off-mic) I’ll see you in *Battle of Egypt* since you want to play games.
(The crowd pops for a match at Battle of Egypt being announced. Meanwhile, SOSA Henderson is still out cold. “Range Brothers” by Baby Keem & Kendrick Lamar begins to play through the speakers as Mr. DEDEDE stands up and begins to make his way up the ramp. The commentators and crowd are clearly in shock at what just happened.)
Jake Mercer: Another match announced for Battle of Egypt! My god, this card is looking glorious!
Stew-O: I can’t wait for Battle of Egypt!
(The excitement continues to build as Grand Rampage fades to a commercial.)
(Promotional ad for Battle of Egypt begins to play. See Ronn Banks return to the ring and take on one-half of the Unified Tag Team Champions, Jake Smith! Battle of Egypt, live Saturday, May 21st… only on free-per-view!)
(The camera pans backstage to Visual Prophet who is met with a huge mixed reaction of mostly boos alongside his manager, Dr. Angelo D’Angelo as he stands in front of the camera with a serious look on his face and the World Heavyweight Championship draped over his shoulder.)
Visual Prophet: https://streamable.com/s6fdnr
(The crowd cheers and applauds at Viz’s vocal talents as he takes a bow before speaking)
Visual Prophet: Now I know these last few weeks have been wild, cult leader accusations, back and forths with balding coke addicts for this title, all sorts of crazy shit that has people wondering. Has Viz finally bitten off more than he can chew? Is this old mental patient a real threat to this championship? Has the partnership with the ever-so controversial Dr. Angelo finally come back to bite him in the ass? To that I say….
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/xUxBbtobcBY
Visual Prophet: Gg tho. EAW’s been pushing this #EAW15 agenda at us all season, and as a businessman myself I understand it to an extent. It sells merch, might bring back some old fans, engage the fans we have more with so-called “dream” matches even though most of these niggas are over the hill and are guaranteed to lose to the guys who are currently active, but it’s a great marketing tool! The problem with that is, what happens when these so-called legends lose their match? The luster wears off and EAW just pumps out yet another old relic to come out and get smoked. Remember Jacob Senn? That was a cool couple of weeks till Jake Smith effortlessly sent him back to whatever graveyard he crawled out of, then EAW picked out the corpse of Brian Daniels and trotted him out just for Myles to inevitably smoke him. We’re supposed to sit here and pretend that these guys are competition and that their era wasn’t full of part time accountants and janitors but the fact of the matter is when it comes to the NOW… *it’s different*.
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: No match at all!
Visual Prophet: Let’s be reality. What has Cage actually done these past few weeks that have convinced any of you people that he’s an actual threat to my championship? Took a flight to Michigan while I was out of town and broke some stuff?😱 Visited VPLA with paid actors to make up frivolous lies?😱 I laid him out last week and I’m gonna do it again this weekend and after me and Andre both take turns putting Diamonds in the sky like Kanye before the white women, the Pain for Pride main event will be set. I have A LOT to say about Andre which I’ll save for next week’s Dynasty when we meet face to face before I take that Interwire Championship away from him, but right now my focus is getting this bloated alcohol face anglo saxon the fuck out of the paint. Grown ass man who thinks casually strolling through schools and harassing the kids there while trying to tear the establishment down is some cool shit to do. But ima beat his ass just like I beat the cult-leader allegations! VPLA isn’t going anywhere, my kids love me and we are raising the future of this world, if you got a problem with that you just don’t see the.. Vision.
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: *Prophet*
(Suddenly, a devious smirk comes across Viz’s face)
Visual Prophet: You know who could REALLY use the services of a school like VPLA?
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: Enlighten us king.
Visual Prophet: This bum ass city of New Yawk :mjlol:
(Massive boos erupt throughout the stadium as Viz and Angelo start laughing)
Visual Prophet: Really doe, ever since the plane landed in that cluttered ass LaGuardia Airport it’s been all bad. I haven’t gotten a whiff of fresh air in days since I’ve been in this forsaken place, but that’s alright because I plan on blocking that out with the scent NYC knows nothing about… the smell of victory. I mean damn how many Ls does this city take on a routinely basis from all angles? The Jets? :mjlol: The Giants? :mjlol: The Knicks? :mjlol: Y’all put your faith in Lamar Odom with a green light, called him the King of New York and paid him max money and now you want him gone after realizing he was a one season wonder. And let me not get started on those Nets–
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: Woah woah now not too much on my brotha Kyrie now, we got some business together.
Visual Prophet: My bad unc, but forreal though y’all thought baby giraffe and Dr. Angelo D’Angelo with handles was gonna lead you to a championship? Sheesh. I would say y’all might as well get used to rooting for mediocrity and underwhelming playoff exits but I forgot.. you already root for the Yankees! (more boos continue to flood the arena) And how about music? The biggest thing out of NYC is a bunch of dumbass kids rapping about killing other kids over sped up samples :mjlol: Y’all options for king of your city is a rainbow haired mexican who is a government informant, a 32 year old manchild who went double copper on his debut album, and a 18 year old CTE victim who crashed out before his big break.
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: This woulda never happened if he was a VPLA student!
Visual Prophet: That’s almost as bad as the time EAW had to choose between Cage, Theron, and Cloud Matsuda as their champions, talk about dark times. It’s no better with your NYC representation too, it’s bad enough I made the Visual Prophet moniker a hot song after some bum from Long Island could only make it a hot line, but look at the wrestlers you all have to choose from. Chris Elite is about to get the hometown ovation of a lifetime just to do what he does best, close but no cigar. Scott Diamond is about to get the dog shit beaten out of him by a nigga who woke up one day and decided that claiming an inhabitable island in Samoa was less embarrassing than claiming to be from this city. Malcolm Jones got his TV turned off and that was the end of his chapter. Drake King has been my son for a good three seasons now. Adam Lucas is so bland that he makes Rex McAllister look like a charisma machine. Amber Keys is apparently from this very borough and she said she wants to work with me but the only woman I’m working with is that blue haired queen from Compton. Last and certainly least, my opponent tonight, Cage.. idk if he’s from New York or not but he stinks so he’s automatically an NY nigga to me.
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: (sarcastically) Fax, b!
Visual Prophet: What I am saying is…. New York stinks. Literally and symbolically. Rat infested dump with bad traffic and overrated pizza. Even though I’m not from here I’m going to serve as a beacon of hope for the people of this not so great city. An example to follow and live by, then MAYBE just maybe this place can became half as good as Detroit. Now watch me work. Sincerely yours, Shea Butter Baby.💋
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: Bing bong!
(Viz walks off to a nuclear amount of boos as Angelo follows and the camera pans elsewhere)
(The screen fades to a preview graphic of the next match.)
(The lights dim as Gypsy chants and ominous voices are heard throughout the arena. The fans cheer loudly, then coo as a video begins to play on the screen. A recap of the bloody and personal feud between Drake and Minerva begins to play.)
(Drake is shown branding Minerva and then shattering New Eden to pieces as Minerva was aided out of the arena by Myles and medical staff. Unable to walk, blood all over her face and a permanent remembrance of what Drake King had done to her. Minerva is then seen taking her long awaited revenge on Drake after his brutal EAW World Championship with Myles at King of Elite. Minerva leaves Drake in a similar state to the one she was left in, before Myles of all people had to step in for Drake King.)
James Peters: We’re seeing right now just how deeply rooted this rivalry is. Over a year of companionship and teamwork as New Eden up in flames as Drake King and Minerva perhaps tonight draw the final blood amongst the broken pieces of this New Eden picture.
Rich Russillo: What Drake King did had effects that have lasted since; he and Myles took one another to their breaking points in perhaps the most cruel and ugly match we’ve seen this year. They were at each other’s throats for months, now Drake will have to finally face the ferocity of the true victim of what he did back in the Extreme Elimination Chamber. Minerva’s been bound by restraining orders and preventive circumstances for months now, but she’ll get her chance to hurt Drake King tonight and these two will settle what will likely go down as one of the most personal bad-blood feuds of all time in EAW.
James Peters: Surely it’s up there. The lengths Minerva has gone to in order to get at Drake King are incredible and he’s pulled every ace from his sleeve in order to keep her abay, but tonight, he’ll need to endure this holy-hell being brought down on his head and last through another war of attrition if he’s going to beat Minerva. But hey, hate him or not, which most of us do but anyway- Drake specializes in taking matches to the deep waters and drowning his opponent. He can break them down, then stomp their head into the ground and pull a win out over any/everyone. We’re witness to two of the best in the world going at it tonight, bad-blood aside, this has the makings of a classic contest.
(The screen fades to black as a sole spotlight appears on the Grand Rampage stage.)
(The fans begin to cheer as “Blood, Milk & Sky” ensues and a spotlight appears on stage. A sole spotlight touches down on the stage as Minerva appears in it and looks straight ahead at the ring.)
Bella Braxton: LADIES AND GENTLEMAN, THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS A SINGLES MATCH, IT IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!
(The crowd cheers as the spotlight disappears and the lights around the arena shower Minerva’s entrance.)
Bella Braxton: THIS MATCH IS THE FINALS MATCH OF THE EAW GOLD RUSH TOURNAMENTTTTT!!! THE WINNER OF THIS MATCH WILL GET A MATCH FOR THE EAW WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPPPP AT THE GREATEST STAGE OF THEM ALL…. PAIN FOR PRIDDDEEEEEEE!!!
Bella Braxton: INTRODUCING FIRST! WRESTLING OUT OF BUCHAREST, ROMANIAAAAA!!! WEIGHING IN AT 122 POUNDDDSSSS!!! “THE BLACK ROSEEEEEEEEEEE” MINERRRRRRRVVVAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!
(The crowd cheers loudly as Minerva makes her way to the edge of the stage.)
James Peters: I know this woman can’t wait to get her hands on Drake King-
Persephone; She’s the only woman in the world that statement applies to LMFAO. I don’t need an ipod shuffle when Apple is on the Iphone 13.
James Peters: I’m gonna act like I don’t know what that means…I know Minerva is frothing at the mouth to finally get in the ring for this match. She’s been trying to get at the neck of Drake King for months now and the time has finally arrived for Drake to face this monster he’s created. But can she play within a normal set of rules? This match has no stipulation and must be contested under standard rules, which we know is not what Minerva had planned for Drake. She’s been attempting to use every weapon and sitting at her disposal to take him out, but tonight, she’ll have to do that inside the four ropes of that ring.
Rich Russillo: Which does beg the question if she can control herself or not. Drake has been at the mercy of opponents who hate his guts time and time again and has shown that he will go to any length to win his matches. Justin Windgate, Myles, Xander Payne, I mean this man will not stop until someone is as near dead as the referee will permit. I know she wants more than anything to hurt him tonight, but she also has to consider how big this win is for her. Beyond the personal beef here, the implications of this match are as big as any.
(She steps through the ropes and sits down in the corner of the ring, taking off her hat and awaiting her opponent tonight.)
(“Cold War” by Hans Zimmer plays as Drake King slowly makes his way onto the Grand Rampage stage and the fans boo him relentlessly.)
Bella Braxton: AND HER OPPONENT! WRESTLING OUT OF THE DEAD SEA, ISRAELLLLL!!! WEIGHING IN AT 220 POOUUNNNDSSSS!!! DRAKKKKKKKKEEEEEEEEEEEE “THE REDEEEEEMMERRRRRRR” KINNNNNNNGGGGGG!!!!!!!!
(The fans deliver possibly the harshest boo of the night as Drake King walks down the ramp with almost a ghostly presence. No attention for the fans, just a cold, dead stare at Minerva.)
Rich Russillo: If Drake King manages a win tonight, that will be the third Pain For Pride in a row he’ll be competing for a world title. That’s a tremendous feat and the fact that he’s meeting Minerva in this finals matchup shows just how willing he is to face what’s been chasing him for all these months if it means getting to a title match at Pain For Pride.
James Peters: He’s been smart about this rivalry, he’s managed to stave off Minerva’s attacks for the most part and has got this match on his terms. Standard rules with title implications, there might not be one elitist better than Drake in those stipulations. But Minerva is extremely talented herself and for all the personal feelings here, she knows that the only way she’s going to beat Drake is if she wrestles smart and she puts some of those feelings to the side tonight.
(Drake walks through the ropes and then doesn’t even look Minerva’s way. He stares at the ground as she stares straight through him and they await the referee to begin the match.)
Rich Russillo: Oh man, here we go. This bad blood rivalry finally settled here tonight, let’s see who’s better.
(The referee calls for the bell and the start of the match.)
DING! DING! DING!
James Peters: HERE WE GO! Minerva immediately storms towards Drake King as he slides under the bottom rope and quickly avoids her. Minerva slides out of the ring after Drake and now she’s chasing him around the ring. This is what we expected from them tonight, this game of cat and mouse, but she needs to be careful playing this game. Drake slides in the ring and Minerva comes right behind him-
Rich Russillo: “JUDGMENT DAY”!!
James Peters: NO! It didn’t land as she slid her body out just in time and Drake nearly puts his foot through the canvas as Minerva now grabs his boot and pulls him under the bottom rope! She gets Drake to the outside and now lands a nasty forearm to the side of his head! Drake covers up as she lands a thudding headbutt, skull to skull! You heard that impact as Minerva now grabs him by the hair AND TRIES TO RUN DRAKE INTO THE RING POST!
Rich Russillo: He avoids it and barrels shoulder first into the barricade! His shoulder and back clatter into the barricade as Minerva storms towards him, but he ducks under an attempted clothesline and now he shoves Minerva into the barricade! Her back slams into the barricade and Drake King sets up another attack! WHAT IS HE- DRAKE JUMPS ONTO THE BARRICADE, RUNNING AND NOW HE LEAPS OFF WITH A GLIDING KNEE THAT CLIPS THE SIDE OF MINERVA’S HEAD AS THEY BOTH HIT THE GROUND!
James Peters: Wow! Some innovative offense from Drake King as the crowd still manages to boo after that. He doesn’t hear even one of them as he tries to lift Minerva up to her feet. OUCH! SHE JUST BIT HIS HAND! Minerva just bit the hand of Drake and now drives a knee into his midsection and shoves him into the side of the ring! Minerva ushers the crowd up to their feet as she lines Drake up! MINERVA IS SETTING DRAKE KING UP, HERE WE GO! SHE LUNGES FORWARD WITH A MASSIVE KICK!
(BANG!)
Rich Russillo: WAIT! Drake slipped out of the way as he rolled under the bottom rope and into the ring, Minerva’s boot blasted that ring post! My word, she would’ve taken Drake’s head off with that kick! Every shot is being thrown with match ending intentions for Minerva! Now it’s Drake who shoots his boots through the middle rope and blasts Minerva down with a dropkick! Drake manages to stay in the ring as Minerva recovers on the outside…OH BOY….DRAKE KING IS LOOKING AT THE ROPES, YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS!
James Peters: DRAKE BOUNCES OF THE ROPES AND-
Rich Russillo: MINERVA SCURRIES INTO THE RING AND FLOORS DRAKE WITH A CLOTHESLINE! SHE TRIES TO TAKE HIS HEAD FROM HIS SHOULDERS WITH THAT ONE AND NOW SHE’S UNLOADING WITH PUNCHES! THIS IS WHAT SHE WANTED, SHE’S UNLEASHING HER WRATH ON DRAKE KING AND THIS CROWD IS GOING BANANAS FOR IT!
James Peters: Drake makes his way to the corner and tries to get Minerva off him, but she’s relentless! She won’t let up! BAM, A STIFF KNEE TO THE CHEST, NOW A CLOTHESLINE IN THE CORNER AS SHE SNAPS HIS HEAD BACK! SHE THROWS HIM OVER HER HIP AND TRAPS HIS HEAD IN A HEADLOCK HOLD, NOW UNLEASHING THIS VICIOUS STORM OF PUNCHES ONE MORE TIME! DRAKE’S HEAD IS TRAPPED AS HE’S FORCED TO TAKE THESE POWER PUNCHES FROM MINERVA!
Rich Russillo: LOOK AT DRAKE’S LEG, HE’S GOT HIS FOOT ON THE ROPE AND THE REFEREE SPOTTED IT! Minerva’s forced to release the hold and let Drake go, she tries to drag him straight back to the center of the ring, but she rips his leg into the air and Drake springs into his feet with the middle rope! What athleticism from Drake as he now jumps at Minerva with a lightning fast enzuigiri! No! She ducks that one and takes the back of Drake, he now turns it around again and grabs her wrist, spinning her out for that jumping knee! Minerva wisely kicks out his other leg and Drake King can’t complete his offense!
James Peters: Minerva throws her leg into the air like an axe as she brings it down with force on a big scissor kick! Drake slips out of the way right in time and barrels Minerva’s jaw with an elbow- no! Not even that lands as she catches his arm and shoves him backwards! THEY BOTH STORM OFF THE ROPES AND GO FOR CLOTHESLINES AND TAKE ONE ANOTHER OUT! THEY COLLIDE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING AND DESTROY ONE ANOTHER WITH DOUBLE-CLOTHESLINES, THEY KNOW EACH OTHER SO WELL!
Rich Russillo: These two are so equally matched, this really will decide who the number contender for the EAW Championship is and who on this yellow brand deserves to go to Pain For Pride.
Persephone: They beat a bunch of tomato cans in a glorified King of Elite rip-off and now all the sudden one of them deserves to go to Pain For Pride? They should both be competing in the 24/7 Battle Royale if you ask me.
Rich Russillo: The stakes both personal and career wise are so much bigger than that, Persephone, as both competitors make their way up to their feet. Drake King throws a big elbow that lands on the side of Minerva’s head! Now Minerva returns with a nasty right hand of her own! That one made Mike Tyson proud! Minerva now lands another big punch, AND ANOTHER! BEATING DRAKE KING DOWN, WHO IS SOMEHOW STILL TEETERING ON HIS FEET!
James Peters: SHE STEPS BACK AND THEN CHARGES FORWARD WITH A POWERFUL SHORT-ARM CLOTHESL- BOOM! DRAKEKING CRACKS HER WITH A HELLACIOUS DISCUS ELBOW THAT ABSOLUTELY SHUTS HER LIGHTS OUT! MINERVA FALLS ONTO HER KNEES AND DRAKE NOW BOUNCES OFF THE ROPES! HE COMES RIGHT AT HER AND IS MET WITH A RUNNING STO AS MINERVA MEETS HIM IN THE MIDDLE AND SLAMS HIM TO THE CANVAS WITH FORCE!
EAW: The crowd cheers for Minerva as she gets back to a knee.
Rich Russillo: Clearly a pro-Minerva crowd tonight, but appreciate the technical clinic being put on by both competitors. Minerva is labordley getting to her feet as Drake uses the turnbuckles to try and crawl to his knees. Minerva stalks her prey as Drake pulls himself up to a standing base. She violently grabs Drake’s face and starts talking to him. She’s releasing all of the pent up anger she’s had for months now! She smashes Drake’s face in the corner and now smears it against the turnbuckle!
Persephone: She should go smear her lips on the dong of some random elitist backstage like the cheating whore she is.
James Peters: SHE’S TRYING TO SIT HIM ON THE TOP ROPE! SHE WANTS TO DROP DRAKE FROM THE TOP, BUT HE’S STARTING TO COME TO AND FIGHT HER OFF! MINERVA EATS SOME NASTY SHOTS FROM THE SEATED DRAKE, BUT DELIVERS A STIFF PUNCH OF HER OWN THAT ROCKS HIM! DRAKE IS REELING AND MINERVA NOW STANDS ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE, TRYING TO PULL DRAKE UP TO HIS FEET!
Rich Russillo: NOTHING GOOD CAN COME FROM THIS!
EAW: The crowd starts to build their anticipation as the buzzing gets louder.
Rich Russillo: MINERVA TRIES TO LIFT DRAKE UP- HE’S ABLE TO SIT BACK DOWN AND KICK HER BOOTS OUT FROM UNDER HER! SHE FELL FACE FIRST ONTO THAT TOP TURNBUCKLE, THAT WAS NASTY! SHE DROPPED FACE FIRST AND NOW IS ROLLED INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE RING, JESUS CHRIST! SHE HAD TO HAVE BROKEN HER NOSE THERE, YOU CAN SEE IT POOLING BLOOD RIGHT NOW!
EAW: The crowd looks back up as the anticipation builds up again…
James Peters: WAIT! DRAKE KING ISN’T LETTING UP! HE’S NOW STOOD ON THE TOP AND FLIES THROUGH THE AIR WITH A FROG SPLASH THAT CRUSHES THE RIBS OF MINERVA! DRAKE KING INTO THE COVER, HE WANTS TO PUT HER AWAY-
Rich Russillo: MINERVA KICKS OUT BEFORE 1! A powerful kick out before the referee was all the way down for the count and Drake looks taken aback by Minerva’s sheer toughness!
James Peters: He does, Rich, but he can feel the tides turning in his favor as he now stands Minerva up and dogwalks her to the corner! He bounces a stiff punch off her chin and now leaves her wobbling around the corner of the ring as he bounces up to the second rope! DRAKE VAULTS WITH A BLOCKBUSTER THAT SNAPS MINERVA’S NECK DOWN!- BUT HE HELD ON! DRAKE HOLDS ON AND NOW ROLLS OVER, DEADLIFTING HER BACK UP AND HOISTING HER STRAIGHT INTO THE AIR AND DROPPING HER BACK DOWN WITH A THUNDEROUS FALCON ARROW!
Rich Russillo: WHAT A SEQUENCE FROM THE FORMER EAW CHAMPION, WHO LOOKS LIKE HE MIGHT BE ON HIS WAY TO GETTING BACK TO THAT THRONE! HE COVERS MINERVA AS THE REFEREE STARTS THE COUNT!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Rich Russillo: Strong kickout from Minerva after 1! That was still a powerful kickout, but it was slower than her last one, Drake can tell he’s starting to wear on Minerva. This is what he does so well, he drags these matches out into wars of attrition and waits until his opponent starts to crumble. Drake is now standing above Minerva and holding his heel on her neck. Minerva claws to get him off, but Drake scowls down at her with his boot driving harder and harder into her neck. Almost a satisfaction in his face.
James Peters: Symbolic of how Drake has always felt about these relationships; under the heel of his boot. He scuffs his boot off the back of Minerva’s head and now relentlessly stomps on her body! DRAKE WITH VICIOUS STOMPS TO THE BODY AND LIMBS OF MINERVA, HE IS GOING CRAZY WITH STOMPS AND NOW HE LIFTS UP THE LEG OF MINERVA AND DROPS AN ELBOW ONTO HER KNEE! DRAKE IS DOING EVERYTHING HE CAN TO INJURE HER! RIPPING AT HER KNEE AND STOMPING ON THE OUTSIDE OF HER LEG, DRAKE IS SHOWING US SHADES OF ROAD TO REDEMPTION BETRAYAL WHERE HE BRUTALIZED MINERVA AND LEFT HER FOR DEAD IN THE CHAMBER!
Rich Russillo: Drake King drops Minerva at his own feet and stares down at her as she tries to gather herself. HE HOOKS HER ARMS AND PULLS THEM UP TO HER BACK, GOING FOR AN “ASCENSION”! MINERVA NOW THROWS HER HEAD UP BACKWARDS AND CRACKS DRAKE IN THE CHIN WITH A REVERSE HEADBUTT! WOW! THAT ONE ACTUALLY STUNNED DRAKE BACK AND NOW- WAIT, WHAT THE HELL IS MINERVA DOING!??
James Peters: SHE JUST SQUATTED DOWN AND LIFTED DRAKE KING INTO THE AIR, HE STILL HAS HER ARMS HOOKED AND SHE- BOOM! SHE JUST SLAMMED HIS HEAD AND NECK INTO THE CANVAS WITH A MODIFIED VERTEBREAKER! WHAT A COUNTER FROM MINERVA AS DRAKE CLUTCHES HIS NECK! HE GRABS HIS NECK HARD IN PAIN AND MINERVA RISES TO HER FEAT IN A FIT OF ADRENALINE! THIS CROWD IS ELECTRIC RIGHT NOW AS MINERVA RAISES THEM TO THEIR FEET AGAIN!
Persephone: At least she can raise something! It seems as if she can’t raise any of the children she be having in secret! Little whore!
Rich Russillo: MINERVA JUST SNAPPED HIS HEAD OFF THE MAT AND NOW SHE’S LINING DRAKE UP! MINERVA BOUNCES HER LEGS OFF THE TOP ROPE AND FLIPS HER SELF OVER INTO A MOONSAULT THAT CRUSHES DRAKE, “HELL’S BELLS”!!!! THAT MODIFIED ARABIAN PRESS JUST FLATTENED DRAKE AS HE CLUTCHES HIS RIBS, BUT MINERVA ISN’T DONE WITH HIM YET! SHE CLIMBS HER WAY UP TO THAT TOP ROPE, QUICKLY GETTING TO THE TOP AND LOOKING AT THE-
Rich Russillo: I WAS GONNA SAY BATTERED DRAKE KING, BUT HE JUST POPPED UP AND BOX JUMPS TO THE TOP ROPE! OH MY GOD, THAT ATHLETICISM IS JUST RIDICULOUS AND NOW HE RIPS MINERVA OFF THE TOP ROPE AND DOWN TO THE CANVAS WITH AN ABSOLUTELY THUNDEROUS SUPERPLEX! A HUGE SUPERPLEX!
EAW: The crowd roars as Drake stands up with MInerva still in his arms.
James Peters: HE STILL HAS HER! HE HOISTS HER UP WITH A FALCON ARROW-
EAW: The crowd cheers even louder.
James Peters: MINERVA ESCAPES OUT THE BACK DOOR AND LAUNCHES DRAKE WITH AN INVERTED EXPLODER SUPLEX! DUMPING HIM ON HIS FACE AND SHE SIDESTEPS- OH BOY! “DEVIL’S TOUCH”!!!! SHE SUPERKICKED DRAKE SQUARE IN THE CHIN AND HE FELL TO THE GROUND! HE’S BARELY ON HIS KNEES, HE LOOKS OUT!
Rich Russillo: OH MY GOD, MINERVA DRAGS HIM UP BY THE HAIR, SHE’S TALKING TO HIM!
Minerva: (Off-Mic) This is your penance. This is your ultimate hell.
Rich Russillo: MINERVA LIKE A BAT OUT OF HELL! SHE COMES OFF THE ROPES AND GOES FOR A “JUDGEMENT DAY” CURB STOMP!!
James Peters: DRAKE SIDE STEPS IT JUST IN TIME AS HE GETS TO HIS FEET, OH MY GOD! SHE NOW GOES OFF THE ROPES AND IS MET WITH A DRAKE KING BOOT TO THE MIDSECTION! A SUPERKICK TO THE MIDSECTION THAT NEARLY DROPS MINERVA! DRAKE MANAGES TO GRAB HER AND- WAIT, WHAT IS DRAKE DOING?! HE HOOKS HER ARMS IN PUMPHANDLE POSITION!!
James Peters: “DE FACTOOOOOOOOOOO”!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: DRAKE KING THROWS MINERVA INTO THE AIR AND DELIVERS A DESTRUCTIVE “DE FACTO” !!!!! THAT’S MYLES’ MOVE!!!! THAT’S MYLES’ SIGNATURE FINISHING MOVE AND DRAKE JUST USED IT TO SLAM MINERVA’S SPINE AGAINST THE GROUND! DRAKE KING FALLS INTO THE COVER ON MINERVA!!!
Referee: ONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Referee: TWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Referee: THRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-
James Peters: KICKOUT! KICKOUT AFTER 2 FROM MINERVA AND SHE’S STILL IN THIS!
Rich Russillo: BUT FOR HOW LONG!? SHE JUST GOT WRECKED BY MYLES’ “DE FACTO” AND DRAKE KING HAS AN EVIL LOOK ON HIS FACE!
Persephone: That’s just his regular face! He isn’t even from Israel, he looks like he’s from smelly-ass New York. Look at the mean ass pinched up 9-9 faces in this crowd, he looks just like them!
Rich Russillo: Well, he certainly doesn’t look happy as Minerva struggles to get back to her knees.
EAW: The crowd starts to boo as Drake grabs Minerva by the hair and presses her face into the canvas. He smacks the back of her head and starts quietly speaking to Minerva.
Drake King: (Off-Mic) My penance?
EAW: Drake King raises her head up off the canvas and gets face to face with Minerva.
Drake King: My only sin was ever believing EAW could exist with a wickedness like you inside of it. My penance is going to be ridding this company of your name forever.
James Peters: DRAKE LIFTS HER UP! HE HOOKS THE ARMS AND GOES FOR THE “ASCENSION” AGAIN! HE HAS HER SET-UP- NO! AGAIN MINERVA TURNS OUT OF IT AND SMACKS DRAKE IN THE JAW WITH AN ELBOW! SHE COMES OFF THE ROPES NOW AND..NO WAY! DRAKE CUTS THROUGH THE AIR LIKE A KNIFE WITH A JUMPING KNEE THAT ROCKS MINERVA! HE PULLS HER IN FOR ANOTHER “ASCENSION”?!
Rich Russillo: NO! LOOK AT HIS FACE! HE THROWS MINERVA’S ARMS DOWN THIS TIME AND LIFTS HER UP INTO POWERBOMB POSITION! HE CHARGES ACROSS THE RING AND THROWS HER NECK FIRST INTO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! MINERVA CRUMBLES TO THE GROUND AS DRAKE FALLS TO HIS KNEES WITH A GRIM LOOK ON HIS FACE! JESUS CHRIST!
EAW: The crowd cheers and claps for the match, but boos as Drake King begins to stand and Minerva staggers to get to her knees.
Rich Russillo: Is Drake..oh no, Drake, don’t do this. He’s untying that top turnbuckle and now he rips it off! He just threw that turnbuckle to ringside and now he’s staring right back at Minerva! She just took a brutal powerbomb to the turnbuckle and now Drake has plans for another one! HE LIFTS HER UP WITH NO HESITATION, PUTS HER IN POWERBOMB POSITION AND THROWS HER ONE MORE TIME INTO THAT EXPOSED RING CORNER AND HER HEAD SNAPPED AGAINST THE STEEL CONNECTOR! GOD!
James Peters: JESUS CHRIST, MINERVA JUST FELL LIFELESSLY INTO HIS ARMS, HE KNOW BRINGS HER BACK TO THE CENTER OF THE RING, HOOKS HER ARMS AND THIS TIME WITH NO FIGHT HE SLAMS MINERVA ON HER FACE WITH A JUMPING “ASCENSION”!!! THAT PEDIGREE MOVE JUST DROPPED MINERVA TO THE GROUND FOR PERHAPS THE LAST TIME AS DRAKE DROPS INTO THE CORNER AND HOOKS A LEG!
Referee: ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
Referee: TWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Referee: THHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Rich Russillo: KICKOUT! A POWERFUL KICKOUT FROM MINERVA WHO SAYS SHE IS NOT DONE YET! DRAKE KING CAN’T BELIEVE IT AND THIS STADIUM JUST BLEW UP AS DRAKE KING LOOKS AT THE REFEREE WITH DISBELIEF!
James Peters: HE’S FLABBERGASTED! HE CAN’T BELIEVE IT, IT’S MALARKEY THAT SHE KICKED OUT!
Persephone: What.
Rich Russillo: Drake is eyeing that top turnbuckle again, now dragging Minerva’s carcass to the corner as he steps to the outside. Oh man, Drake King might be looking to pull out all the stops tonight! He knows the opportunity that comes with a huge win here and he knows it’s gonna take all the tricks in his hat and more to put down this woman. She won’t let Drake escape this match with a win unless she’s dead and gone, but Drake King might make that a reality if he connects with what I’m thinking he’s about to go for!
James Peters: He’s scaling the turnbuckles slowly, not as quick now, he poured so much energy into that last offensive streak. He’s so spent but he’s making his way step by step. He’s up there now and HE TURNS AND FACES THE CROWD, OH BOY! DRAKE KING IS GOING TO FLY! HE STANDS UP STRAIGHT AND FLIES WITH A”PHOENIX SPLASH” AND COMES CRASHING DOWNNNNN!!!
Rich Russillo: NO! MINERVA MOVED, BUT DRAKE ROLLED THROUGH! SHE MOVED AND HE MANAGED TO GET BACK UP TO HIS FEET! HE STORMS TOWARDS HER AND SHE THROWS HIM FACE FIRST INTO THAT EXPOSED STEEL CONNECTOR WITH A REVERSE STO! OH MY GOD, SHE JUST THREW HIM FACE FIRST INTO THE STEEL AND HIS FACE IS BUSTED OPEN! A MASSIVE GASH JUST OPENED ON HIS FOREHEAD AND IT’S ALREADY DRIPPING BLOOD ALL OVER HIS CHEST!
James Peters: SHE NOW GRABS HIM BY THE BEARD AND RAMS HIM FACE FIRST ONE MORE TIME INTO THAT EXPOSED STEEL! NO PROTECTION AS DRAKE GOES FACE FIRST AND NOW FALLS THROUGH THE ROPES ONTO THE RING APRON AND LIFESSLY DANGLES ON THE RING’S EDGE! JESUS CHRIST!
Rich Russillo: Drake King is bleeding all over his face and chest now, he’s on the apron but he’ll get no reprieve, Minerva steps through the ropes and is out there with him now. She’s stalking her prey and waiting for him to get back up. Drake barely gets to two feet and drags his head up to Minerva’s eyeline AS SHE BARRELS TOWARDS HIM WITH A BIG BOOT AND KICKS HIM STRAIGHT IN THE CHEST! HIS BODY BOUNCES OFF THAT RING POST AND HE FALLS DOWN ON THE APRON AGAIN!
James Peters: This time she drags him up and rests his body against her. In an almost poetic semblance of the moments before Drake branded Minerva, SHE REMEMBERS WHAT FOLLOWS AND SHE’LL NEVER FORGET! SHE LIFTS DRAKE KING UP FOR A VERTEBREAKER, DEAR LORD I THINK SHE WANTS TO DELIVER THIS ON THE APRON!
Rich Russillo: DRAKE FIGHTS HER OFF AND SHOVES HER BACK! SHE GOES FOR A BIG RIGHT HAND, BUT DRAKE SAW THAT ONE COMING AND HE EVADED IT! HE HAS A HALF-NELSON HOLD, OH NO! DRAKE JUMPS OFF THE APRON WITH MINERVA AND DELIVERS A HALF-NELSON BACKBREAKER OVER THE GODDAMN STAIRS!!!! YIKKESSSSSSS!!!!!
EAW: The crowd collectively lets out a massive scream as both Drake and Minerva fall to the floor.
James Peters: DRAKE KING SLAMMED HER SPINE OVER THE EDGE OF THOSE STEEL STAIRS AND MINERVA IS ON THE GROUND DOUBLED OVER IN SO MUCH PAIN! SHE CAN’T EVEN BREATH THAT HIT SO HARD! Drake King is laid up against the barricade and there’s blood all over his face and chest, it’s dripping from his beard now, but there’s still an entirely impassive look on that cold face. You have to wonder how he’s feeling about this.
Persephone: He’s obviously enjoying it, he’s a sadistic lunatic fuck. No sane person enjoys this.
Rich Russillo: I mean, I don’t think he’s enjoying this. He actually looks like he abhors these dragged out, brutal, cruel wars of attrition, but he’s so good at dragging his opponents to this stage man. How can he have been so close with this woman at some point, to now ruthlessly lay her career to waste. This is insane.
EAW: The crowd stays quiet for MInerva, who still hasn’t gotten up.
EAW: Drake King rolls into the ring as the referee begins a 10 count.
Referee: 1…
James Peters: Well, the referee was just checking on Minerva, but he’s forced to start counting now.
Referee: 2…
James Peters: Come on Minerva, don’t let him end it like this. This isn’t just revenge, this is Pain For Pride!
Referee: 3…
James Peters: THIS IS PAIN FOR PRIDE MINERVA! GET UP! THIS IS EVERYTHING YOU’VE EVER WORKED FOR! GET BACK IN THAT RING!
Referee: 4…
Rich Russillo: She’s not gonna make this. Look at her, she’s broken. Barely moved an inch since taking that HORRENDOUS backbreaker on the steps. There’s only so much one elitist can do, even a great one.
Referee: 5…
James Peters: GET UP MINERVA! GET UP!
Persephone: Sit down, she’s done you hopeless little gazelle.
Referee: 6…
EAW: The crowd starts to roar for Minerva and chant; “MINERVA! MINERVA! MINERVA!”
Referee: 7…
EAW: Minerva lifts herself up by her hands and tries to get to her knees.
Referee: 8…
EAW: She falls and hits the floor for one final time.
Referee: 9….
EAW: The chants continue loudly and the arena is shaking as every heart in the world is bleeding for Minerva.
Referee: 10….
EAW: ….
Referee: ….
Rich Russillo: ….
James Peters: YES!
EAW: Minerva jumps under the bottom rope at the very final second of the count with everything she has.
James Peters: YES! YES! YES! YES! SHE MADE IT! YES! YES! OH MY GOD, SHE MADE IT! THIS CROWD IS ROCKING RIGHT NOW! THEY’RE SHAKING THE STADIUM! OH MY GOD!
Rich Russillo: I CAN’T BELIEVE SHE-
Persephone: OH MY GOD- DRAKE KING STORMS FROM THE OTHER SIDE OF THE RING AND DRIVES HER HEAD INTO THE CANVAS WITH A “JUDGEMENT DAY” AND THAT ONE LANDS FLUSH! HE DRILLED HER HEAD INTO THE CANVAS, SO MUCH FOR A HAPPY MOMENT! WOW!
Rich Russillo: HOLY HELL, DRAKE GOES TO COVER MINERVA FOR THE EAW WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH AT PAIN FOR PRIDE!
Referee: ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
Referee: TWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Referee: THHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
EAW: …
Rich Russillo:…
James Peters:…
Persephone: NO WAY, SHE GOT A FOOT ON THE ROPE!
EAW: The referee notices Minerva’s foot on the rope at the last second and stops the count.
James Peters: YES! OH MY GOD, MINERVA! SHE GOT HER FOOT ON THE ROPE AND SOMEHOW SURVIVES THIS MATCH YET AGAIN!
Rich Russillo: THIS IS UN-FUCKING-REAL!
EAW: The crowd chants; “THIS IS AWESOME! THIS IS AWESOME!” as Drake bashes his hands against the canvas.
Rich Russillo: MAN, HOW IS SHE STAYING IN THIS! I THOUGHT DRAKE HAD THIS DONE! THE WORLD THOUGHT HE HAD IT DONE AND WE’RE STILL IN IT! HE CAN’T BELIEVE SHE’S STILL IN THIS!
EAW: Drake King sits down in the corner with a solemn look at Minerva, then drops his head in his hands.
James Peters: Look at him. Is it possible he’s feeling remorse? For the first time ever? Drake King looks very…confused right now. I can’t tell if he can’t understand why Minerva is still in this match or if he’s actually starting to feel a heartbeat inside his chest.
EAW: Drake looks down at his hands, they’re shaking nearly uncontrollably. He clenches them both and strongly presses them against his head as he tries to push his hair back. He wipes the blood away from his eyes and takes his lone glove off. He throws it to the side and now puts a hand over his eyes and sits in the corner of the ring.
Rich Russillo: The crowd is taken aback right now, who in the world knows what is going through Drake’s head at this moment. Minerva is just starting to stir and she puts her fists to the canvas and tries to muster up enough force to get off the ground. Oh boy, Drake King sees her and he’s quick to get back up. He’s walking straight towards her. Now planting his heel on the back of her neck as she falls to the ground again and Drake looks the other way as once more we see his heel driven into her neck. This time though, Drake is looking the complete opposite direction.
James Peters: Drake…Drake King removes his boot and takes a deep breath as an almost emotional look quickly comes across his face, but then quickly vanishes as he feels blood dripping down his face and from his beard. He looks down at the trickle of red dots over his boots, gear, and chest. That confusion fades away in the midst of his gruesome state and he grabs Minerva by the neck! Oh no!
Rich Russillo: What is he…He just wiped his finger in his gash and now…Oh my god, he’s writing something in blood on Minerva’s face. He’s dragging his bloody finger like a pen of humiliation and cruelty across the forehead of Minerva- it says “New Eden”. Wow. He really knows no bounds. Tattooing Minerva with a bloody remembrance of what he destroyed forever.
EAW: The crowd explodes with boos as Drake now lifts Minerva up to her feet.
James Peters: Drake branding Minerva again tonight, but this brand was one of blood! Now he’s got her up, HE HOOKS HER BY THE WRIST AND TRIES TO PULL HER INTO AN “OVERHAUL”!!!! NO! THAT SWINGING STO DOESN’T WORK AS MINERVA SPINS ALL THE WAY THROUGH IT AND LANDS ON HER FEET! BOOM! A SUPERKICK TO DRAKE’S FACE! WOW! A “DEVIL’S TOUCH” SUPERKICK FROM MINERVA AS SHE WOBBLES DRAKE AROUND THE RING!!!
Persephone: THIS BITCH IS INSANE, THE BLOOD GAVE HER A POWERUP! AND THE FACT THAT SHE HAD THAT MUCH FOREHEAD SPACE TO WRITE TWO ENTIRE WORDS ON THERE IS CRAZY!!!
Rich Russillo: MINERVA NOW WITH VICIOUS PUNCHES TO DRAKE’S SKULL AS HE DESPERATELY COVERS UP! SHE THROWS HIM ACROSS THE RING WITH AN IRISH WHIP AND CATCHES HIM IN A SPINEBUSTER ON THE REBOUND! A RING-RATTLING SPINEBUSTER AS DRAKE COLLAPSES ON THE CANVAS! SHE GRABS DRAKE IN SUPLEX POSITION, BUT SHE’S LOOKING FOR SOMETHING EVEN MORE DEADLY NOW!
James Peters: SHE’S LOOKING FOR “ATLAS FALLS!”! SHE THROWS HIM UP IN THE AIR- HE DROPS A KNEE DOWN ONTO HER SKULL AND SHE HAS TO DROP HIM BACK DOWN, NOW DRAKE IS THE ONE WHO USES THE HOLD TO SNAP HER DOWN TO THE GROUND WITH A SUPLEX! HE ROLLS THROUGH AND USES EVERYTHING IN HIM TO DRAG HER UP WITH HIM! DRAKE IS SO STRONG, BUT HE LET OUT A HUGE CRY OF ADRENALINE TRYING TO DEADLIFT MINERVA UP!
Rich Russillo: BUT HE’S GOT HER UP AND HE’S GOING FOR A FALCON ARROW TO COMPLETE AN INCREDIBLE SEQUENCEEEEE-
Rich Russillo: NO! MINERVA NOW ABLE TO GET OUT THE BACK DOOR AND CATCHES DRAKE KING IN THE INVERTED FACELOCK! WHAT A BEAUTIFUL COUNTER! SHE BRIDGED OVER IN MIDAIR AND TRAPPED DRAKE KING IN THE INVERTED FACE LOCK, NOW SWINGING HER LEGS LIKE A GUILLOTINE AND THROWING DRAKE KING’S SKULL BACKWARD INTO THE CANVAS WITH “PARADISE LOST”!!!! SHE HIT IT! SHE LANDS THAT VIOLENT INVERTED DDT
Persephone: WHAT IS…COVER HIM YOU WHORE! THAT’S IT, YOU HAVE HIM!
EAW: The crowd buzzes louder when Minerva wears a face of pure exhaustion, desperation, and agony, but still rises to her feet one more time.
James Peters: SHE’S BACK UP AND NOW POWERS DRAKE UP TO HIS FEET! SHE USES ALL HER MIGHT AND LETS OUT A HUGE SCREAM TO GET HIM INTO THE AIR AND NOW WHIPS HIM AROUND AND SLAMS HIM DOWN WITH A TWISTING BRAINBUSTER, “ATLASSSSS FALLLSSSSSSSSSSSS”!!!!!!! “ATLAS FALLS!!!!” SHE HIT IT!

James Peters: HAND ON THE ROPE! HIS HAND IS RESTED ON THE BOTTOM ROPE AND THE REFEREE STOPPED THE COUNT!!!! JUST HOW??!?! JUST HOWWWWW?!?!?!?!
Rich Russillo: THIS STADIUM IS GOING CRAZY, THEY ALL JUST GASPED! EVERYONE THOUGHT MINERVA HAD THIS MATCH DEAD AND DONE WITH! DRAKE KING WON’T GIVE IT UP! HAD MINERVA HAD DRAKE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING SHE WOULD HAVE WON THIS MATCH! HE JUST BARELY THREW A HAND ON THAT BOTTOM ROPE! OH MY GOD!
James Peters: What will it take to put one of these competitors away, good lord. They’re both laid out on the canvas, Drake isn’t moving and Minerva is crawling towards the turnbuckles. She slides under the bottom rope and uses the floor to get her balance and stand back up…now she’s….oh no…she just grabbed the ring stairs! She slides them under the bottom rope and the referee warns her, but she doesn’t care! This is Voltage, the land where competitors use any-and-everything at their disposal to kill one another!
Persephone: Hopefully we’ll at least get a visceral and gory Drake King death out of this one then. #RIPBOZO
Rich Russillo: Man, I don’t like this….she just laid those steps out, she could barely lift them. She has them set up in the center of the ring and is staring down at Drake King. She’s looking down on him now, Minerva has the power in her hands and she’s feeling it. She feels for the first time in months that she holds the power over Drake and this is her game now.
James Peters: She certainly does and now she drags him over to the steps! She takes him up there AND NOW TRIES TO LIFT HIM UP, GOING FOR THE “PRINCESS KILLER” ON THE STEPS! THAT WOULD UNDENIABLY PUT DRAKE KING OUT FOR GOOD! SHE CAN END THIS RIGHT HERE AND NOW WITH ONE SWIFT BLOW! HERE SHE GOES! MINERVA WITH DRAKE IN HER ARMS-
Rich Russillo: HE SLIPS OUT AND DROPS HER WITH A THUDDING DDT ON THE STEPS! DEAR GOD! HER HEAD BOUNCED OFF THOSE STEPS FROM THAT DDT! SHE’S HANGING HER HEAD OVER THOSE STEPS AND DRAKE KING USES EVERYTHING IN HIS BODY TO BOUNCE OFF THE ROPES AND FLY TOWARDS MINERVA ONE MORE TIME WITH A “JUDGEMENT DAY”!!!!
James Peters: MINERVA CATCHES HIM MID STRIDE AND DROPS HIM ON THE STEEL STAIRS WITH AN STO!!!! OH MY GOD! AN STO ON THE STEPS FROM MINERVA JUST TAKES THE AIR FROM DRAKE KING’S LUNGS!
Rich Russillo: DRAKE IS LAID OUT FLAT ON THOSE STEPS AND NOW MINERVA POSITIONS HERSELF ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! NOW THE TOP ROPE! SHE’S STANDING ON THE TOP ROPE AND DIVES THROUGH THE AIR WITH A FLYING ELBOW STRAIGHT TOWARDS THAT STEEL-
James Peters: DRAKE ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY AND SHE COLLIDES WITH THOSE STAIRS HARDDDD!!! SHE SLAMMED INTO THOSE STAIRS AND HER BODY MUST BE BROKEN! THAT HAD TO HAVE HURT SO BAD AS MINERVA’S HEAD DANGLES OFF THE SIDE OF THE STAIRS!! JESUS CHRIST!!
Rich Russillo: NOW DRAKE KING SEES HIS CHANCE- HE SURGES FORWARD LIKE A BAT OUT OF HELL!!! “JUDGEMENT DAYYYYY”!!!!! HE STOMPS HER HEAD OFF AS IT WAS DANGLING OVER THOSE STEEL STAIRS AND CRUSHED HER SKULL WITH HIS BOOT OF SWIFT DOOM! HE STOMPED HER HEAD FROM EVEN HIGHER UP AND SHE CAME DOWN TO THE CANVAS WITH DEVASTATING FORCE! HE FALLS TO HIS KNEES FOR THE COVER!
EAW: The crowd explodes as Drake may have just written the final verse of this chapter.
James Peters: SHE GOT HIT SO HARD SHE SLUMPED SIDEWAYS AND FELL THROUGH THE ROPES! SHE FELL OUT OF THE RING AND SPILLED ONTO THE FLOOR! DRAKE CAN’T BELIEVE IT! HE CRAWLS AND STUMBLES OUT OF THE RING AND TRIES TO REACH MINERVA! HE GRABS HER AND TRIES WITH EVERYTHING HE HAS TO LUG HER UP TO HER FEET AND GET HER BACK IN…BUT HE CAN’T!
Rich Russillo: He can’t get her up! He just fell down himself because he’s using so much energy right now! He’s trying to lift her dead weight off the ground and put her back into the center of the ring
James Peters: Drake barely is able to prop her up against the apron and carry her full body up there. He shoves her under the bottom rope and falls down to his knee on the outside. He’s so spent, he’s about to pass out, he’s been losing blood this whole match, taken so much damage, done just as much to his opponent and still hasn’t been able to put her away! Drake is finally able to drag Minerva away, but she still hasn’t moved! He gets her in the center of the ring and he drops down into a cover!
Referee: ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
Referee: TWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Referee: THHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
James Peters: KICKOUT! BARELY, BUT THIS CROWD POPS BIG FOR HER KICKOUT AS SHE MANAGES TO STAY ALIVE IN THIS MATCH! DRAKE LOOKS SO DEFEATED! HE KNOWS THAT VITAL TIME AFTER THE STOMP COST HIM!
EAW: The crowd cheers and chants as Minerva rolls over and crawls towards the bottom rope.
Rich Russillo: What a war this has been man. Minerva is trying to get some reprieve, but Drake won’t let her! He pulls her back to the center of the ring, full mount on Minerva now! HE STARTS POURING DOWN HARD SHOTS ON HER! PUNCHES AND ELBOWS TO THE FACE OF MINERVA! BEATING HER SKULL AND NOW HER BODY! SHE’S COVERING UP BUT DRAKE IS RELENTLESSLY BEATING HER!
James Peters: HIS BLOOD IS SPILLING ALL OVER BOTH OF THEM, DRAKE KING IS LOSING HIS MIND! HE’S LOST IN A FIT OF BLOODY RAGE! JUST UNLEASHING WHATEVER STRIKE HE CAN ON MINERVA RIGHT NOW!
Rich Russillo: BUT LOOK AT HER! MINERVA NOW WITH A PUNCH FROM THE BOTTOM! MINERVA NOW FROM OUT OF NOWHERE SHE’S TRYING TO FIGHT BACK RIGHT NOW AND SHE GRABS DRAKE AND BITES DOWN INTO HIS NECK! DEAR LORD!!!!
Persephone: SHE JUST SANK HER TEETH INTO HIS NECK AND- OH MY GOD- THAT’S DISGUSTING- SHE JUST RIPPED OFF A PIECE OF HIS NECK SKIN WITH HER FUCKING BITE!
Rich Russillo: HOLY SHIT, HOLY SHIT! SHE RIPPED THE SKIN OFF HIS NECK WITH HER TEETH AND NOW THROWS A MASSIVE HAYMAKER RIGHT TO THE KNEELING DRAKE KING! MINERVA STUMBLES AND TEETERS TO HER FEET, DRAKE KING GETS UP AND TURNS AROUND-
EAW: SPIT!
James Peters: “”THE DARK”!!! MINERVA SPITS THAT BLACK MIST ALL OVER DRAKE KING’S FACE AND WHO EVEN KNOWS WHERE THAT CAME FROM!!! MINERVA SPITS THE MIST ALL OVER DRAKE AND HE CAN’T SEE ANYTHING! SHE COMES OFF THE ROPES AND NOW RIPS HIS HEAD OFF WITH A ROARING LARIAT THAT FLOORS DRAKE KING! MINERVA TURNS THE TIDES AND NOW LEVELS DRAKE KINGGGGGG!!! THIS CROWD IS GOING CRAZY FOR HER!
Rich Russillo: MINERVA IS NOW IN MOUNT AND SHE’S RELEASING ALL OF THAT ANGER OUT ON DRAKE KING! JUST BATTERING HIM WITH STIFF PUNCHES AND SLASHING HIS BODY WITH SHARP ELBOWS! JESUS CHRIST! HE’S COVERING UP AND CRUNCHED UP IN A FETAL POSITION, BUT MINERVA IS RELENTLESS AND WON’T SHOW HIM EVEN THE SLIGHTEST ACT OF MERCY! THIS IS WHAT SHE’S BEEN WAITING FOR!
EAW: Crowd is cheering loudly for Minerva as she continues to beat down Drake King.
James Peters: MINERVA RISES TO HER FEET AND BANGS HER HANDS AGAINST THE MAT! SHE SCREAMS WITH EVERY SHRED OF ENERGY IN HER BODY AND NOW DRAGS DRAKE KING INTO HER GRASP! SHE LIFTS HIM UP FOR “THE PRINCESS KILLER” ONE MORE TIME! MINERVA THROWS HIM INTO THE AIR AND SPINS HIM AROUND!!!
Rich Russillo: …DRAKE ABLE TO SHIFT HIS WEIGHT AND MAKE MINERVA FALL BACKWARDS! SHE BENDS BACKWARDS AND DRAKE NOW ASSUMES THE POSITION OF MINERVA AND HE’S THE ONE WHO HAS THE PILEDRIVER POSITION NOW! OH MY GOD, WHAT A CRAZY COUNTER!!! HE CAN’T DROP HER THOUGH, MINERVA HAS A HOLD OF THE MIDDLE ROPE! SHE’S HOLDING HER HEAD IN THE AIR WITH THE ROPE!
James Peters: DRAKE LETS GO AND DROPS HER TO THE CANVAS, TURNING AROUND AND THROWING HER UP INTO THE AIR WITH A LIGHTNING QUICK AND EXPLOSIVE FALCON ARROW! NOW ROLLING THROUGH AND SOMEHOW LANDING ANOTHER ONE! HE’S RUNNING OFF STRAIGHT ADRENALINE AS HE PUNISHES MINERVA WITH TWO HUGE FALCON ARROWS!
Rich Russillo: HE LIFTS HER ONE MORE TIME- BUT SHE TRAPS TO FIRE BACK WITH A FOREARM! HE DUCKS IT AND SHE GOS TUMBLING INTO THE CORNER! DRAKE CHARGES IN AFTER HER AND HE’S MET WITH A SOLID RIGHT HAND THAT TAKES A TOOTH OR TWO FROM HIM! YIKES! MIGHT NEED TO SEE EAW’S DENTIST ABOUT THAT ONE! NOW MINERVA HOISTS HERSELF UP TO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE, WAITING FOR DRAKE TO TURN AROUND…
James Peters: HOLD ON- THAT’S THAT CORNER WITH THE EXPOSED BUCKLE! MINERVA STANDS ON THE TOP AND DRAKE CATCHES HER IN ACTION-
Rich Russillo: HE TRIES TO THROW HER OFF, BUT SHE’S ABLE TO JUMP OFF THE TOP AND GO RIGHT OVER DRAKE KING! SHE ROLLS THROUGH AND NOW MEETS HIM IN THE MIDDLE AS BOTH COMPETITORS STUN THE OTHER WITH STIFF CLOTHESLINES! ANOTHER CHECKMATE FOR BOTH WRESTLERS! NO MOVES LEFT FOR EITHER AS THEY GO THE SAME WAY AND BOTH FALL FOR IT!

Bella Braxton: LADIES AND GENTLEMAN, THIS MATCH HAS ENDED IN A DOUBLE COUNTOUT, THEREFORE THERE IS NO WINNER AND NO NUMBER 1 CONTENDER FOR THE EAW WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP AT PAIN FOR PRIDE!
EAW: The crowd starts to boo even louder than before and people start throwing drinks and food across the arena.
Rich Russillo: HE GOT THEM BOTH COUNTED OUT AND DIDN’T LET MINERVA WIN! HE KNEW HE COULDN’T CONTINUE, SO HE ENDED THE MATCH FOR BOTH OF THEM, OH MY GOD!!!! MINERVA CAN’T BELIEVE THIS, SHE LOOKS ABSOLUTELY INFURIATED!!!!
EAW: Drake King struggles to his feet along the barricade and then smiles at Minerva. Blood dripped through his teeth and his face swollen and cut and bruised. Still the only smile from Drake King the entire night is seen.
Drake King: (Off-Mic) I meant what I said….I promised you wouldn’t main event Pain For Pride and I’ll never let that happen.
EAW: Minerva is seething and can’t even utter a word.
Rich Russillo: Oh no…HERE WE GO!!!! SHE CHARGES RIGHT FOR DRAKE AND HERE COMES THE REFEREE- BOOM! DRAKE GRABBED A CHAIR FROM BEHIND THE BARRICADE AND SMACKED MINERVA IN THE SKULL WITH IT! THE REFEREE TRIES TO RIP IT FROM HIS HANDS BUT DRAKE SHOVES HIM AWAY! NOW DRAKE CRACKS THE CHAIR OVER HER BACK ONCE AGAIN! WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING!?

HE’S TELLING THEM NOT TO COME ANY FURTHER- MINERVA SPEARS DRAKE OFF THE SIDE OF THE STAGE ONTO THE FLOOR! THEY’RE SPILLED OFF THE SIDE OF THE STAGE AND NOW BRAWLING!

THEY’RE JUST TRYING TO KILL EACH OTHER RIGHT NOW!
James Peters: MORE SECURITY IS POURING OUT OF THE ENTRANCE CURTAIN AND FINALLY THESE TWO ARE GETTING SEPARATED! DRAKE KING IS BEING TAKEN OUT THROUGH THE SIDE STAGE AND THEY’RE TRYING TO CONTAIN MINERVA ON THE RAMP! God, what the hell?!?
Rich Russillo: Drake King told Minerva she wasn’t going to headline Pain For Pride and as soon as he saw that he wasn’t going to win this match, he ripped her chances away. He had nothing more to lose so he burned her dreams next to his. He’s done some heinous and borderline evil stuff in EAW, but this was insane and Minerva still can’t believe it. She’s being contained on the stage right now and Drake King is somewhere backstage, probably leaving the arena, but wow.
James Peters: I don’t even know what to say- I don’t know. Wow. I don’t know what happens at Pain For Pride or what happens to either of these two. I really am just at a loss for words.
EAW: A shot of Minerva, bloodied, cut, bruised and limping is shown as she still angrily walks up the ramp and the EAW crowd claps for her. Clearly not the result she wanted, but they’re still appreciative of her incredible effort tonight and thrilling match-up with Drake King. She walks through the curtain and the shot fades elsewhere.
(After a short commercial break, the next match graphic flashes across the screen.)
(Graphic for the Universal Women’s Championship match between defending champion Andrea Valentine taking on challenger Cameron Ella Ava is shown to the fans in Yankee stadium as long as a visual moving graphic for those tuned in on the EAWNetwork!)

Flannery McCoy: We are about to witness two great competitors clash for a world championship and you are being so disrespectful, Jake.
(“I am not a woman, I am a God” fades out as anticipation slowly builds before “Roll With Me” By Charli XCX blasts throughout the speakers of Yankee stadium to an Ear-PULSING ovation from the New York crowd as Andrea Valentine steps wearing a red and black attire with the Universal Womens Championship strapped around her waist)

Stew-O: The crowd giving both these fantastic competitors their flowers, ultimately there has to be respect between these two too but I expect it to immediately go out the window with this big fight feel and how the audience is taking to both of them! This match could be a clash of amazing proportions!
Flannery McCoy: And look at the grace that the champion comes with confidently striding to the ring, also not a stranger to big matches in EAW, I don’t necessarily think the cap is too far between them but this match could be the deciding factor!
Jake Mercer: A champion is only as good as her next title fight and this is the one right here in a city where title fights have happened for years! EAW is about to present another big marquee New york world championship fight! Ultimately they can respect each other all they want but now they got to get in here and play punch face! All fairs for the Universal Women’s Championship!
(Andrea holds up the Universal Women’s title above her head confidently to display for the audience before looking at Cameron to the side who is staring at her with a smirk before Andrea hands the title to the referee who displays it to the crowd before handing it to the timekeeper as he readies both competitors)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: There’s the bell to signal the start of this contest as Andrea and Cameron tentative early before clashing dead center in the ring with a collar and elbow tie-up! Neither one with an advantage in the early outsights of the match! Just a stalemate test of strength with both fighting to get the better of the other! Cameron is able to transition the tie by snagging the arm of Andrea and applying a beautiful hammerlock.. The arm placed behind her back is being worked on! Andrea, though is able to sweep her legs off as Cameron falls back to the mat, which voids the hammerlock!
Jake Mercer: Andrea quickly drops down on Cameron with a side headlock applied! Andrea applying pressure as Cameron looks to pop up to her feet successfully! She manages to sit up and push herself and Andrea up but she’s still hooked in a side headlock! Cameron with a back elbow to the mid-section, before she pulls Andrea down with a snapmare!

Stew-O: This variation is different than the one we saw earlier in the contest, this time Cameron is flat on the mat with Andrea’s knee planted firmly on the lower back adding more pressure as she rears back on the chin lock as the referee begins asking Cameron if she is going to give up this match! Cameron trying to claw her way to the ropes with the weight of the champion on her back! Andrea shouting at Cameron to give it up! Even if Cameron manages to get out of this, the strength that it is going to take to get out of this alone will play a factor later on in this match!

CAMERON IS SHOUTING IN PAIN AS ANDREA PULLS ON THE LEG TO FURTHER TORTURE CAMERON WITH THIS FIGURE FOUR LEG LOCK AROUND THE POST!! The referee started his count with Andrea outside the ring! The champion won’t retain with this move but she will surely apply damage to the challenger!
Referee: ONEE….TWO…THREE…FOUR…FIVE…SIX….
Stew-O: Andrea breaks the hold as Cameron backs away from the corner holding her right leg especially as she tries punching feeling into her legs after being in that figure four for such a long time! Andrea now climbs onto the apron as she begins making her way to the top turnbuckle! Cameron has no idea of it! As Andrea is set, perched, and ready to strike! Cameron pulled herself up with the ropes as an aid! Cameron pulls herself up to her feet… And she turns! AS ANDREA FLIES FOR THE METORA!! CAMERON DUCKS!!
Jake Mercer: Andrea though rolls through up to her feet, AS CAMERON, WITH THE OFF LEG!! CAMERON CONNECTS WITH A SUPERKICK TO ANDREA VALENTINE!! RIGHT ON THE BUTTON AS ANDREA IMMEDIATELY TURNS FROM THE KICK- CAMERON CATCHES HER BEFORE SHE DROPS!!! GOING FOR THE BREAKING BARRIERS AGAIN!!!!! AND SHE CONNECTS WITH THE RACK ATTACK!!!!! The impact before Cameron can even get a cover sends the champion outside of the ring! Andrea is down and out on the outside floor!
Flannery McCoy: As the referee begins to look outside and he doesn’t want to count for such a highly contested bout! Cameron was frustrated and showed it by punching the mat before making her way to the outside, Cameron pulled Andrea up to her feet, Cameron dragging a lifeless champion to a vertical base, Andrea- WITH A BURST OF ENERGY, GOES BEHIND CAMERON!!! ATOMIC BLONDE!!!!
Stew-O: POISON RANA DELIVERED TO THE OUTSIDE FLOOR!!! THAT HAS TO BE THE END OF THIS MATCH!!! SHE PLANTED CAMERON ELLA AVA RIGHT ON HER HEAD WITH THE ATOMIC BLONDE!!! THIS HAS GOT TO BE ACADEMIC?!?!!?!
Jake Mercer: But they are on the outside of the ring and that move took a lot out of Andrea! Both women are down on the floor and the referee looks on conflicted! He doesn’t want to count out a match for the Universal Women’s World Champion! Andrea crawls on the floor as Cameron has yet to move! Andrea uses the steel steps as an aid to get to her feet, Cameron, hasn’t moved and this match could be reaching its swan song! Cameron could be on the verge of losing here tonight at Grand Rampage!
Flannery McCoy: Andrea walked towards her challenger, grabbing her up and rolling her inside of the ring, Andrea, climbed onto the top turnbuckle! Andrea has tried this before and it didn’t work! Cameron is completely down and out, prone on the mat as Andrea stands on the top turnbuckle taking in this sold-out Yankee stadium! ANDREA FLIES OFF THE TOP TURNBUCKLE!!! MAGIC HOUR!!!!! ROUNDING MOONSAULT CONNECTS AS ANDREA CRASHES INTO CAMERON ELLA AVA!!!! ANDREA IS A LITTLE SLOW TO GET TO THE COVER!!!!! SHE’S FELT HER FAIR SHARE OF OFFENSE IN THIS MATCH!!! SHE PUSHES THROUGH THOUGH AND COVERS CAMERON!!!
Referee: ONNNEEEE…
TWOOOOOOOOOO……
Stew-O: CAMERON POPS HER SHOULDER UP OFF THE CANVAS!!!! Andrea thought she had it there after everything he did leading to the pinfall! How can anyone think Cameron would survive getting dropped on her head and then getting flattened by the Magic Hour! On any other night that would defeat anyone in the world but on Grand Rampage Cameron survives!
Jake Mercer: The wheels are beginning to turn in the championships thinking as she begins to signal for the ending before booting Cameron for good measure! Andrea backed up as she waits for Cameron to get to her feet.. The champion is looking to finish the job! She’s going for that Love Haze! Cameron feels the effects of the match but is able to get up to her feet! ANDREA RUNS…. LOVE HAZE..!!! GOING FOR THE RUNNING CORKSCREW NECK BREAKER!!

CAMERON HAS THAT HOLD LOCKED IN AND THIS COULD BE THE MEANS TO A NEW CHAMPION!!!!
Stew-O: Jake YOU COULD BE CORRECT!! THE CHAMPION LOOKS DIRE!!! AS CAMERON LOOKS LIKE SHE WILL NOT RELEASE THIS HOLD FOR ANYTHING BESIDES A SUBMISSION!!! ANDREA IS TRYING TO FIGHT AND DRAG THE WEIGHT OF CAMERON ON HER BACK TO THE ROPES!! BUT EVERY TIME SHE TRIES SHE STARTS TO FADE!!! SHE’S GETTING WORN DOWN!!! THE REFEREE IS RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS ACTION, RIGHT INTO THE FACE OF THE CHAMPION TO SEE IF SHE WANTS TO GIVE UP!!!
Flannery McCoy: CAMERON WITH AN INTENSE LOOK OF DETERMINATION PLASTERED ACROSS HER FACE!!!! ANDREA FADES…. SHE’S FADED!!!! NO!! ANDREA WITH ONE LAST ACT!! RAISES HER HAND!!!

Flannery McCoy: Cameron finally breaks the hold as Andrea lays on the mat prone trying to catch her breath! Cameron with a scowl on her face as she looks to end this match and bring home the championship but she has to break the will of the champion! Cameron spotting Andrea pushing herself up as she tries to continue on in the match! Cameron, spots her, AND, IN EXCELSIS?!!!!! CONNECT-

THREEEEEEEEEEEEEE…!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(“Roll With Me” By Charli XCX blast throughout the stadium as the fans begin to applaud and cheer loudly as the referee helps Andrea Valentine to her feet before raising her hand and handing her the Universal Women’s Championship)
Stephie Love: HERE IS YOUR WINNNER…. ANDDDD STILL!!! THE UNIVERSALLL WOMEN’S WORLD CHAMPIONNNNN……….. ANDREAAAAAA VAAAALENTINEEEEE…..!!!
Stew-O: WOW, WHAT A MATCH!!! Cameron Ella Ava gave that one all she had, but in the end Andrea Valentine managed to pull through and retain her Championship against one of the most accomplished women this company has ever had! What a victory for Andrea Valentine!
Jake Mercer: And as usual, I knew Andrea was going to win! I’m NEVER wrong with my predictions, we need to start keeping count of the amount of times I get the winner of these matches right!
Flannery McCoy: Cameron and Andrea just put on a fantastic match that’ll be hard to follow. If there was ever a match to showcase just how talented the women’s division is in EAW, it’s this one!
Stew-O: Congratulations to Andrea Valentine for the huge Championship defense!
(The crowd continues to cheer, and an exhausted Andrea Valentine raises up her Universal Women’s Championship, having defended it successfully for the second time now. As the cheering continues, Grand Rampage fades away from ringside.)
(The camera cuts to Gina Romano in the ring.)
Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR…ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
Gina Romano: AND IS FOR THE EAW ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP!
(‘You Know My Name by Chris Cornell plays to a thunderous ovation from the EAW audience, damn near blowing the roof off the place for this hometown reception for Adam Lucas, who steps out on the stage smirking before beginning his stride down to the ring.)
Gina Romano: Introducing first! Hailing out of New York City, New York, weighing in at 231…HE IS THE NEXT LEVEL…ADAM LUCAS!!
Eve: Here’s the Next Level, looking to reach exactly that with a win here tonight.
Deadprez: But the question is: can he? Does Adam Lucas have what it takes to walk out victorious here?
Eve: If you ask me, I say he does, we’ve seen this man go toe-to-toe with the best of em, and it feels like it’s almost inevitable for him to walk out World Champ one day. Perhaps today could be that.
(‘Ambitionz az a Ridah’ by Tupac is next to play, but the reaction is far more harsh, barely any fans looking to root for TLA against Adam. Mostly wanting to see their hometown boy win. But The Answers World Champion makes his way out in style with a lowrider, and not letting the crowd affect him, more so getting why they’re hostile on this night.)
Gina Romano: And his opponent! Residing out of the Poon Palace in Miami, Florida, weighing in at 210 pounds…HE IS THE EAW ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION…LA PANTERA SEXUAL…TLA!!
Gavin Kirkland: Always a treat to see TLA!
Deadprez: Especially at the level he performs, we’re always bound to see a great match outta him, and tonight will be no different.
Eve: But for someone the caliber of TLA, is he prepared for the threat he faces in Adam Lucas?
(TLA tosses his hat into the crowd, but a fan sends it right back, tossing it ringside after catching it, slightly to the amusement of TLA.)
TLA: Oh, damn, so it’s like that?
(TLA shrugs before staring down at Adam Lucas in the opposite corner as the referee signals for the bell.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Eve: There’s the bell, and our Answers World Title match is underway, the atmosphere in this place already electric.
Crowd: ADAM LUCAS! 👏 ADAMS LUCAS! 👏 ADAM LUCAS!
Deadprez: Welp, the fans are making it no secret who they’re firmly behind here, and it’s not often you see TLA outmatched in terms of crowd reaction, but I don’t expect it to rattle him much. End of the day, it’s not about being liked, it’s about defending your title.
Eve: Yeah, but crowd reaction can be vital for some performers, especially those who feed off it, Adam Lucas being one of em. We know he appreciates every person who chants his name, and doesn’t wanna disappoint them, or himself tonight.
Gavin Kirkland: FUCK HIS CROWD REACTION! THE GUY IS MARRYING BETHANY BLUE! HE MUST BE STOPPED!
Eve + Deadprez: :dahell:
Gavin Kirkland: My bad.
Eve: …Anyways, both competitors circle each other before engaging a knucklelock in the center of the ring. TLA gets the early advantage over his challenger with an arm wringer, now connecting with repeated shoulder blocks while having control of that wrist before twisting the arm again to transition with a fireman’s carry takedown!
Deadprez: TLA’s quick to tack on a grounded side headlock, but Adam’s just as quick, perhaps even quicker to escape with a headscissors that TLA kicks out of! Both men scramble back to their feet, and stare each other down, realizing that they’ve come to a stalemate thus far.
TLA: Damn, homie, I see you. :mjgrin:
Eve: Nice to see TLA keeping a level head, not really getting frustrated, knowing it’s early on, and there’s still plenty of room to figure your opponent out here. He’s champion for a reason, but to bring matters back to the match, both competitors lock up in the center of the ring, an approach we’re more used to here, but TLA once again gets the advantage with a standing side headlock.
Deadprez: He’s really wrenching on it, and the fans are not happy, but regardless, TLA transitions to a hammerlock, now back to the side headlock, this time a takedown! But previous events repeat themselves as Adam utilizes a headscissors to escape, forcing the champion to kick out, and hurry back to his feet. Both Adam and TLA stare from the respective corners they’ve picked themselves up in, and begin to inch out slowly, locking up in the center of ring again.
Eve: TLA wrings the arm of Lucas, and yanks on it a few times before wringing it again, but Adams counters with an arm wringer of his own! TLA scores some forearms to the face of Lucas, trying to free himself, but Adams shrugs it off, the grip barely loosening. TLA switches the approach, and goes for a kick to the midsection, but Adam catches the boot, and trips TLA down to the canvas for a SHARPSHOOTER! LUCAS LOC-
Deadprez: The fans’ volume was amping up there, knowing that to be a signature move of Adam, but TLA shoved Lucas away with both feet, and rushes back to his feet, narrowly avoiding a fatal move there.
Eve: And you can see TLA’s expression switch to something a bit more serious, he’s aware of the threat Adam Lucas can pose to that title, but the two lock up, still in early goings of this thing, and TLA gets the advantage with another standing side headlock, keeping control of Adam Lucas for a while in the center of the ring.
Deadprez: Lucas bounces TLA off the ropes to escape, AND ATTEMPTS A HIP TOSS! But Honor Bomb is countered as TLA front flips on his feet, and the champion starts to get a bit more aggressive in his approach, closing the distance between him and Lucas as he marches over for another collar and elbow tie-up!
Gavin Kirkland: TLA goes behind Adam Lucas for a rear waistlock… but seriously, what does Bethany Blue see in this guy?
Eve: Adam is trying to pry those hands of TLA apart, and does! Managing to move behind now for a rear waistlock takedown! ADAM QUICKLY SHOOTS THE HALF FOR A COVER!
ONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!
T-
Deadprez: Only one count as TLA powers out, and both men are immediately back to their feet, ADAM KNOCKS TLA DOWN WITH A RIGHT HAND, AND TLA SCRAMBLES BACK UP!
Eve: Lucas brings him down to the canvas with a side headlock takedown, and TLA tries to take a page out of Adam’s playbook with a headscissors to escape, but Lucas fends it off, keeping that headlock strapped in tight. Can’t say this is what I expected, thought the pace would quicken a bit, but right now, Adam is relying on that technical wrestling ability to back him here against TLA.
Deadprez: And clearly has kept finishing this thing off in the back of his mind, evident when going for both the Honor Bomb and Lucas Lock early on, but the champ is too fresh for that. And right now begins powering back to a vertical base, trying to bounce Lucas off the ropes! But Adam skids to a halt in the center of the ring, dropping down to a knee, and bringing TLA down to one with him in that side headlock, which has remained tight throughout all this!
Eve: TLA powers back to his feet again, and starts to deliver forearms to the ribcage of Adam, effectively breaking that grip, and allowing him to rebound his opponent off the ropes!
Deadprez: OOH! Adam came back with a shoulder tackle, and the back of TLA’s head hit hard on the canvas.
Eve: TLA jolts up, clutching at the back of it, but Adam Lucas lunges into a rear chinlock, making sure to really wear down his opponent here.
Deadprez: TLA tries fighting back to a vertical base, but once doing so, Lucas takes him down with a side headlock, forcing TLA to fight back to vertical positioning again. All this exerts energy, and that’s exactly what Adam Lucas wants, but TLA starts to deliver forearm shots the ribs again, and Adam’s grip starts to loosen, not break.
Eve: Lucas gets rebounded off the ropes, and TLA goes for a hip toss! However, Adam blocks it, planting his feet, and trying to reverse with a hip toss of his own! But TLA shows off that impressive athleticism by landing on his feet again, BUT IT WAS A TRAP THIS TIME, AND ADAM SHORT-ARMED HIM RIGHT INTO A CLOTHESLINE, DAMN NEAR TAKING THE HEAD OFF OF TLA! Cover is made, hook of the leg!
ONNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!!
Deadprez: You hear this crowd counting along with the referee, they really wanna see a title change here tonight, but TLA prevents that from happening with a strong kickout. TLA sits up, but gets once again caught in the rear chinlock, and that has to frustrate the performer, along with wearing them down, because this is a spot you don’t wanna be in, having just about no control.
Eve: Whether it frustrates TLA, whether it tires out TLA, or whether it does both, Adam Lucas continues to have a downright perfect game plan if that is the case. …But TLA fights back to his feet, delivering back elbows to the midsection, loosening the grip of Adam enough for him to slip out, and leans Lucas up against the ropes for an Irish whip!
Deadprez: DROPKICK! Adam ran right into a dropkick, clutching at his mouth and nose area while seated afterwards. BUT TLA RUNS OFF THE ROPES FOR A SLIDING SINGLE LEG DROPKICK TO THE SIDE OF LUCAS’ HEAD, POSSIBLY HITTING THE EAR! …Adam wisely rolls away, creating separation from his opposition, and picks himself up in the corner.
Eve: TLA connects with a knife edge chop, echoing throughout the arena, really riling the crowd up as Adam pushes past him to gingerly make his way outta the corner. But not for long as TLA grabs Adam’s head, and slams him face first off the top turnbuckle in the opposite corner. And now connecting with more knife edge chops.
Deadprez: Lucas tried to push past TLA to stagger outta the corner, but the champion pushes back him back into said corner, connecting with more knife edge chops, soon cracking Adams Lucas with a forearm before whipping him to the opposite corner. TLA CHARGES IN!!
Eve: BUT ADAM GETS THE BOOT UP, STAGGERING TLA BACK, AND CHARGES INTO HIM WITH ANOTHER CLOTHESLINE! Again, Adam Lucas is quick into the cover, having that leg hooked tight!
ONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO-
Gavin Kirkland: Not even a two count this time as TLA kicks out.
Deadprez: Adam Lucas is quicker back to his feet than TLA, who’s still trying to knock some cobwebs out of his head. But TLA gets leaned up against the ropes before whipped off- NO! Reverses last minute, sending Adam instead, and reminiscent of earlier, he gets taken down with a shoulder tackle! Lucas runs off the ropes again, and knocks TLA back down with another shoulder tackle!
Eve: Adam rebounds off the ropes for a third time, but TLA has him scouted, rolling onto his belly, forcing Adam to leap over, AND TLA SPRINGS BACK TO HIS FEET FO- oh, we don’t find out as Adam Lucas hangs on to the top rope, refusing to run right into the arms of TLA. But if Adam Lucas isn’t gonna come to TLA, TLA’S GONNA COME TO HIM AS HE CHARGES IN!
Deadprez: HOWEVER, ADAM SENDS TLA UP AND OVER HIS SHOULDER, ATTEMPTING TO DUMP HIM TO THE OUTSIDE! BUT TLA CATCHES HIMSELF ON THE APRON, AND ADAM TAKES A WILD SWING, WHICH CAUSES TLA TO DROP OFF, AND DRAG ADAM UNDERNEATH THE BOTTOM ROPE BY HIS FEET! Lucas gets sent back first into the barricade, clearly wincing in pain after that one.
Eve: But TLA rolls him back in, and shortly follows himself. Adam pulls himself up in the corner, but TLA comes in with stomps in the corner before connecting with forearm strikes! But one really just rocks Adam Lucas that extra bit, dropping him down to one knee, but TLA stands him up for knife edge chops in that corner now. Adam Lucas got a taste of these earlier, and it wasn’t pleasant.
Deadprez: You can see Adam’s chest beginning to redden like raw meat, but TLA snapmares him outta that corner for a DOUBLE BOOT SCRAPE! Adam sits up, clutching at his forehead, but TLA grabs him by the head, and slams him face first off the top turnbuckle. TLA wants more knife edge chops-
Eve: BUT ADAM LUCAS DUCKS UNDERNEATH, AND STARTS TO TAG HIM WITH SOME OF HIS OWN! The crowd starts to rile themselves back up for Lucas, and TLA comes stumbling out of the corner. Adam begins connecting with right hand punches, and tries for another side headlock, but TLA quickly rebounds Adam off the ropes!
Deadprez: Drop down by the champion, and TLA tries for a leapfrog, BUT ADAM CATCHES HIM IN MID AIR FOR A SPINEBUSTER, NO DOUBT RATTLING THE SPINE OF TLA AS HE GOES FOR A COVER!
ONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THH-
Eve: KICKOUT! And Adam Lucas almost had him right there it seems, just tells you how much the element of surprise can help out, not to mention, the explosiveness Adam had on that spinebuster. But putting that aside, he’s back up, and helps TLA to his feet as well, pinning the champion up in the corner for an Irish whip to the opposite one. AND ADAM COMES IN WITH A RUNNING DROPKICK!
Deadprez: TLA’S STUNNED, AND ADAM TAKES ADVANTAGE WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX ON HIS GROGGY OPPONENT, BRIDGING IT FOR A COVER!
ONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHH-
Deadprez: TLA kicks out, and holds the back of his neck in pain, evidently getting dumped high on it. Adam Lucas thinks to himself while knelt on the canvas, what does he have to do next? But Adam starts to measure TLA up while he regains a vertical base, hoisting him up for a FALLAWAY SLAM! BUT ADAM ISNT DONE, RUSHING BACK TO HIS FEET FOR A RUNNING SHOOTING STAR PRESS ONTO A DOWNED TLA, HOOKING THE LEG AFTERWARD!
ONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHRRRRRR-
Eve: Adam has had a flurry of explosive offense, but it’s still not enough to put away TLA, yet at least. However, to say he isn’t in peril would be a lie.
Gavin Kirkland: If you’re expecting Adam Lucas to walk outta this with an easy victory, you’re expecting wrong as Adam is up against the man who ended Kassidy Heart’s tremendously boring Title reign, which I still thank him for by the way. :blessed:
Eve: :wow:
Deadprez: Adam Lucas stands TLA up, and scores with a right hand, but TLA fires back with an open handed chop! ANOTHER RIGHT HAND! BUT TLA WITH ANOTHER OPEN HANDED CHOP! Right hand punch by Adam Lucas stuns TLA, WHO COMES BACK WITH FOREARM SMASHES TO THE HEAD, DIFFERING WITH BOTH ARMS!
Eve: Lucas reels back up against the ropes, and gets Irish whipped off, BUT ADAM REVERSES, SENDING TLA INSTEAD FOR A BACK BODY DROP! TLA writhes in pain on the canvas after that high bit of elevation. Adam Lucas moves into the cover!
ONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Deadprez: One thing is: you can see Adam Lucas’ urgency, he isn’t here to have a five star match, he’s here to walk out as champion, and constant pins will bring him one step closer to that. Because kicking out expends energy, and TLA’s been forced to use lots of it lately. But Adam Lucas gets to one knee while TLA gets to all fours, and is hooked up for a suplex by Lucas, who helps TLA back to his feet.
Eve: SUPLE- NO! TLA SLIPS OUT THE BACK FOR AN INVERTED FRONT FACELOCK BACKBREAKER SPUN INTO AN ELBOW DROP! TLA kneels on the canvas, trying to catch his breath after that, leaving him unable to capitalize as Adam rolls away, picking himself up from all fours with assistance from the ropes. TLA approaches as Adam stands up, BUT EATS A BACK ELBOW FOR HIS TROUBLES!
Deadprez: And TLA smashes his elbow into the face of Lucas as payback! KICK TO THE GUT BY ADAM! And he tries to follow that up with a right hand, but TLA ducks underneath, backing Adam up against the ropes with repeated knife edge chops to the chest! Irish whip- but there’s a reversal by Lucas, AND TLA COMES OFF THE ROPES WITH A HURRICANRANA!
Eve: Both competitors are back to their feet, TLA a bit quicker than Adam, who’s favoring his back. AND TLA CHARGES IN, WHO FEINTS A FRONT KICK, AND CATCHES ADAM WITH A SPINNING BACK ELBOW! THE CHALLENGER’S ON WOBBLY LEGS, AND TLA TAKES HIM DOWN WITH A BRAINBUSTER, PLANTING HIM IN THE CENTER OF THE RING!
Deadprez: TLA starts his ascension to the top rope, and Adam better move quick.
Eve: We know TLA is very comfortable off the ground, and can drop devastating offense from anywhere. …420!!! SHOOTING STAR PRESS CONNECTS! BUT SHOCKINGLY, TLA DOESNT GO FOR THE COVER AS ADAM LUCAS ROLLS TO HIS SIDE!
Gavin Kirkland: That’s odd, don’t understand the decision making behind that. :lupe:
Deadprez: I think TLA wants to definitively finish this one off here, and starts to pull a prone Adam up into a powerbomb position it seems. If I were to guess, maybe the Mexican Destroyer!
Eve: But Adam has it scouted, dropping down to a knee, and forcing TLA to power him back up into position. BUT ADAM TWIRLS OUT OF THIS PREDICAMENT, GOING FOR ANOTHER CLOTHESLINE, BUT TLA DUCKS UNDERNEATH IT, TRYING TO SCORE A FAST ONE HERE WITH A BACKSLIDE!
ONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!
Deadprez: TWO COUNT! AND BOTH COMPETITORS ARE BACK UP! TLA GOES FOR A CLOTHESLINE OF HIS OWN, WHICH ADAM DUCKS UNDERNEATH ALSO, AND REBOUNDS OFF THE ROPES BEHIND TLA FOR A CROSSBODY! BUT THE CHAMPION WISELY FALLS FLAT BACK ON THE MAT TO AVOID IT, SO ADAM WINDS UP HITTING NO ONE!
Eve: Lucas rolls out of the ring, clutching at his abdominal region, possibly cracking a few ribs there as he landed pretty hard on them.
(TLA surveys the situation, and sees Adam hurt on the outside, showing his plan worked.)
TLA: :lick:
Deadprez: The gears are starting to turn in the head of TLA, who watches Adam pick himself up using the barricade. You can see the fans willing him on, telling Adam to get up, BUT HES ABOUT TO GO BACK DOWN AS TLA SOARS THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE WITH A SUICIDE DIVE!
Eve: BUT TLA GOT CAUGHT IN A FIREMAN’S CARRY BY LUCAS, WHO EYES THE RINGPOST! ALTHOUGH, TLA SLIPS OUT BEHIND ADAM, AND SENDS HIM SHOULDER FIRST INTO THE STEEL STEPS!
Deadprez: TLA can breathe a sigh of relief as he sends Adam Lucas back into the ring for a cover!
ONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!!
Deadprez: Adam kicks out, sitting himself up, BUT TLA PUTS HIM RIGHT BACK DOWN WITH A KICK TO THE CHEST! Lucas rolls over to a prone position before moving to all fours. TLA takes advantage with a kick to the shoulder that went into the steel steps, grabs the now kneeling Adam into a hammerlock.
Eve: OOH! HE JUST SENT ADAM SHOULDER FIRST INTO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! TLA wraps Adam’s arm around the top rope, and places his foot on the middle for leverage as he yanks on it. Referee is gonna have no choice but to intervene.
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE!
Deadprez: TLA releases at the count of three, perhaps getting the top caught up in inflicting damage on his opponent, he blocked out the referee’s count.
Eve: But this is very smart on TLA’s end, softening up that arm for a possible Crossed Paths attempt later on. Could we be seeing Adam tap out? …the referee pulls TLA away from Adam, who stumbles out of that corner favoring the shoulder. BUT TLA SENDS HIM SHOULDER FIRST INTO THE RINGPOST NOW AFTER BEING FREE FROM THE REFEREE’S SCOLDING!
(The crowd’s booing intensifies, not liking to see their hometown hero picked apart like this.)
Deadprez: Lucas falls through the middle rope, and to the outside, heavily wincing in pain, showing just how much agony he’s in. But he needs to snap out of it quick, because the referee’s count has just begun.
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR!
Eve: Adam Lucas gets to a knee with help from the ring skirt, but TLA, who isn’t gonna be content winning by countout, brings Lucas up to the apron, grabbing him by the hair. TLA wrenches the arm of Adam before pulling him in through the middle rope, and drops repeated elbows on that shoulder after wringing it.
Deadprez: Adam falls to a knee, BUT TLA STANDS HIM BACK UP FOR A DOUBLE KNEE ARMBREAKER! Adam is rolling in agony, AND TLA TAKES THIS TIME TO CONNECT WITH CROSSED PATHS! THE CROSS ARMBREAKER IS LOCKED IN! NOWHERE TO GO FOR LUCAS, WHOS IN THE CENTER OF THE RING!
Gavin Kirkland: He’s trying to use those legs, and hands to reach, but it’s serving no use right about now. I think Adam’s gonna tap out, and how embarrassing would that be in his hometown?!
Eve: THE CROWD IS RALLYING BEHIND ADAM LUCAS, NOW MORE THAN EVER, WANTING HIM TO BREAK OUT OF THIS THING! HOWEVER, ADAM RAISES THAT HAND, HES GONNA TAP OUT I THINK!
Deadprez: NO! ADAM GETS TO BOTH FEET, STACKING UP TLA FOR A COVER!
ONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!
Eve: NO! TLA realizes what was happening, and inches his shoulder up off the mat, forcing Adam to change approaches, LIFTING TLA SLIGHTLY OFF THE MAT, AND PLANTING HIM WITH A POWERBOMB TO BREAK THE HOLD! Adam slams his fist into the injured arm, trying to pump some life back into it, and runs off the ropes for an elbow drop! But he misses as TLA last second moves out of the way, doing further damage to Adam Lucas.
Deadprez: Adam slowly gets back to his feet, meanwhile, TLA beats him to the punch by just a bit, backing Adam up against the ropes with a hard forearm, and attempting an Irish whip off the ropes after! Adam reverses, and sends TLA instead! Lucas ducks down, hoping to have a repeat of earlier with the back body drop! BUT TLA STOPS HIMSELF SHORT FOR A PENALTY KICK RIGHT TO THE SHOULDER!
Eve: TLA RUNS OFF THE ROPES IN FRONT OF LUCAS, BUT FOR WHAT- WE DONT KNOW AS ADAM CATCHES TLA WITH A DROPKICK! The champ is quickly back to his feet though, AND GETS PUT DOWN WITH ANOTHER DROPKICK! But TLA remains persistent, almost running off of instinct at this point as he again gets back to his instantly. DISCUS PUNCH PUTS TLA ON SPAGHETTI LEGS, AND TAKES ADVANTAGE WITH AN IRISH WHIP OFF THE ROPES!
Deadprez: HONOR BOMB! ADAM LUCAS CAUGHT TLA WITH THE HONOR BOMB! HIP TOSS INTO A CRADLE PILEDRIVER! But Adam Lucas isn’t gonna call it a day just yet, and similar to TLA earlier, wants to be sure that his opponent is done, now lining him up.
Gavin Kirkland: TLA might not wanna turn around.
Deadprez: TLA got knocked loopy with that piledriver, you can see he’s swinging at air before turning around to face Adam Lucas, WHO TRIES FOR A SHORT-ARM POP-UP POWERBOMB!
Eve: BUT TLA MANAGES TO COUNTER, LEAPING RIGHT OVER THE HEAD OF LUCAS, HAVING SOME FIGHT LEFT IN HIM! ADAM TURNS AROUND, AND ALMOST GETS CAUGHT WITH THE SWAG SHOT, BUT DUCKS UNDER THE PIMP HAND SLAP BY TLA, SHOVING HIM INTO THE ROPES FOR LEVEL UP TO FINALLY CONNECT!
Deadprez: Yeah, but it put a lot of pressure on the injured shoulder of Lucas, causing there to be some hesitation before he tries for the pinfall after nursing said shoulder.
ONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEE-
Eve: AND AS A RESULT, TLA EXPLODES OUT OF THE COVER! Much to the chagrin of everybody in this arena, especially Adam Lucas, who simply can only shake his head, but not in complete disbelief, realizing the caliber of opponent TLA is.
Deadprez: Adam has gotta keep pressing forward, and press forward he does, grabbing TLA by the head, and back of his tights, sending him out through the middle rope. And did you hear the smack when TLA’s body hit the outside. Speaking of, TLA is sprawled out, and doesn’t look to have much of any fight left in him right now. But regardless, Adam heads out through the middle rope, picking up a limp TLA, and driving him back first into the apron.
Eve: That certainly brought some life back into TLA, who has a look of pain etched across his face, but it’s not about to be wiped off anytime soon as Adam Lucas lifts him up off the floor, almost in position for something like a spinebuster. But from there, HE DRIVES TLA BACK FIRST INTO THE RINGPOST ALSO! …Adam Lucas rolls TLA back in, hooking the leg for a cover now!
ONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!
TH-
Deadprez: TLA gets the shoulder up, and Adam Lucas stands him up in a front facelock.
Eve: Look at Adam, targeting himself a body part now, that being TLA’s back, delivering clubbing blows. Adam tries for that suplex now, and TLA is doing his best to block it, planting his feet in the center of the ring. BUT ADAM GETS HIM UP ANYWAYS, WHAT A RAW SHOWING OF POWER! Adam’s quickly into the cover after that!
ONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Deadprez: Kickout at two by TLA, and Adam Lucas straps on a rear chinlock, driving that knee between the shoulder blades.
Eve: Adam wrenches back, and similar to TLA, if he keeps up this targeting of the back, that’ll make his sharpshooter even more dangerous.
Deadprez: TLA starts to fight back to his feet, and backs Adam up into the corner, gonna force a break here.
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! F-
Eve: Adam relinquishes TLA from his grasp, AND THE CHAMPION OPPORTUNISTICALLY CONNECTS WITH A KNIFE EDGE CHOP! We’ve seen plenty of those this match up already, and TLA simply starts to pummel Adam Lucas with punches to the head, sinking him in that corner before Irish whipping him into the opposite corner!
Deadprez: BUT ADAM LUCAS COUNTERS, AND WHIPS TLA INTO THE CORNER INSTEAD! CAUSING THE CHAMPION TO GO UP AND OVER THE TOP ROPE, WIPING OUT ON THE OUTSIDE! Realizing that he can’t win the title by count out, Adam exits the ring once catching a quick breather, barely slowing down in this contest, and rolls TLA back into the ring.
Eve: The champion slowly starts to pick himself up off the mat, not knowing that Adam Lucas is on the apron behind him. TLA turns around, AND GETS TAGGED WITH A SPRINGBOARD FOREARM SMASH! BEAUTIFUL IN RING OFFENSE BY ADAM LUCAS, WHO HOOKS THE LEG FOR A COVER!
ONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEE-
Deadprez: TLA POPS THE SHOULDER UP! You can sense an air of frustration now with Adam Lucas, but he stands the dazed champion up, and bounces him face first off the top turnbuckle, lifting him up there afterwards.
Gavin Kirkland: I think we’re gonna see a superplex.
Eve: For once in your life, Gavin, you are correct as Adam Lucas climbs to the middle rope, hooking TLA up for the suplex now.
Deadprez: BUT THE LATIN ASSASSIN STARTS TO FIGHT BACK WITH SHOTS TO THE RIB CAGE BEFORE SLAMMING ADAM’S HEAD REPEATEDLY ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE TIL HES DOUBLED OVER! LOOK OF INTENSITY IN THE EYES OF TLA AS HE PEELS ADAM LUCAS OFF THE MIDDLE ROPES WITH AN AVALANCHE SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMB!
Eve: But TLA leans back against the bottom turnbuckle, too exhausted to even make a cover here as Adam Lucas rolls halfway across the ring, nicely creating distance.
Deadprez: No surprise he’s exhausted, a move like that can take a lot out of you, but it’s worth it. Because as you can see, Adam Lucas is hurt, and hurt bad off of that.
Eve: So much so, neither competitor can take advantage right now.
Deadprez: …takes em a while, but both competitors are finally beginning to stir. TLA pulls himself up in the corner, meanwhile, Adam pulls himself up to all fours in the center of the ring. Being on his feet first, TLA heads over to maintain the upper hand.
Eve: BUT THERES ADAM LUCAS WITH A DOUBLE LEG TAKEDOWN, AND HES GONNA TRY FOR THAT SHARPSHOOTER, BUT TLA FIRMLY KICKS HIM AWAY, AND THE BACK OF ADAM’S HEAD WHIPLASHED HARD!
Deadprez: The challenger rolls out to the apron,and uses the ropes to pick himself up. BUT KEEP YOUR EYES ON TLA, WHO BARRELS INTO ADAM WITH A SHOULDER TACKLE, AND OOH!
Gavin Kirkland: ADAM CAME FLYING FACE FIRST INTO OUR ANNOUNCE TABLE COVER! :damn:
Eve: And now he’s laid out right in front of us. TLA starts to formulate a game plan, and it might be one with cruel intentions on the mind as he exits the ring, dislodging the steel steps, and removing the top one of the bottom.
Deadprez: That’s the same steel steps Adam Lucas went shoulder first into earlier, creating a new target for TLA during this matchup.
Eve: Well, they’re about to pay dividends again as TLA brings Adam up on the bottom step, putting him in position for a powerbomb. But we both know what he has planned here, and that’s the Mexican Destroyer off that elevated area onto the floor, which has very thin padding, mind you. …TLA FLIPS FOR THE MEXICAN DESTROYER!
Deadprez: NO! ADAM LUCAS BACK BODY DROPPED HIM OVERHEAD, AND THAT BACK OF TLA GETS PUT THROUGH MORE PUNISHMENT!
Eve: The champion writhes in pain on the floor as Adam Lucas rolls back into the ring, and back out, smartly restarting the referee’s count.
Deadprez: Adam Lucas leans up against the barricade now, simply stalking TLA while catching his breath, somewhat exhausted from a match this long, and hard hitting. I mean, just look at the chest of Adam Lucas, you’ll see some battle scars right there.
Eve: Adam starts to drive that shoulder into the barricade, and something we didn’t address was if it came out of place during all that limb damage TLA was doing, especially on the cross armbreaker, which can put anyone on the shelf if done right.
Deadprez: TLA starts to pick himself up using our announce table, BUT HERE COMES ADAM LUCAS TO CHARGE IN!
Gavin Kirkland: LOOK OUT! :krabs:
(The commentary team clear out the way as Adam Lucas spears TLA over the announce table.)
Eve: OH MY GOD! ADAM LUCAS JUST SPEARED TLA OVER OUR ANNOUNCE TABLE, AND NOW JUST MOUNTING HIM WITH PUNCHES BEHIND IT!
Deadprez: ITS IN TIMES LIKE THIS YOU START TO SEE THE TRUE VICIOUS NATURE OF SOMEONE COME OUT, AND RIGHT NOW, ADAM LUCAS IS KICKING INTO SECOND GEAR!
Eve: Adam rises off of TLA, and taunts that the crowd stand up! Gonna guess that means the match’ll be over soon if Lucas has his way, sliding TLA back into the ring. AND THERE IT IS! THE LUCAS LOCK! THE LUCAS LOCK IS CINCHED IN! TLA HAS NOWHERE TO GO IN THAT SHARPSHOOTER!
Deadprez: YOU CAN SEE THE CHAMPION START TO PANIC, WHICH IS A RARE SIGHT! BUT THAT HAND OF TLA IS RAISED, AND WE COULD BE SEEING HIM TAP OUT RIGHT HERE!
Eve: AND IF TLA IS HAVING ANY DOUBTS, ADAM LUCAS FURTHER WRENCHES BACK ON THAT SHARPSHOOTER THE FARTHEST HE CAN! DETERMINATION ETCHED ACROSS THE FACE!
Deadprez: NOT GONNA BE BEATEN THIS EASILY, TLA RISES OFF THE MAT, AND BEGINS TO CRAWL OVER TO THE ROPES! ADAM’S HOLD IS STARTING TO COME APART OF BIT HERE, AND HE FALLS TO A KNEE THANKS TO TLA’S CONTINUOUS FIGHT!
Eve: BUT THE HOLD IS CINCHED BACK IN RIGHT BEFORE TLA COULD GRAB ONTO THE BOTTOM ROPE! ADAM LUCAS IS BACK TO WRENCHING TIGHTLY ON IT, AND TLA LOOKS LIKE HES GONNA FADE POSSIBILITY!
Deadprez: EITHER WAY, YOU CAN TAP OUT, YOU CAN PASS OUT, THE TITLE IS GONE!
Eve: NO! TLA MAKES A LAST MINUTE LUNGE FOR THE BOTTOM ROPE, AND NOW ADAMS WILL HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO BREAK THE HOLD, OR SIGN AWAY HIS ANSWER WORLD TITLE DREAMS HERE!!
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR!
Deadprez: Adam Lucas finally breaks off of TLA, who looks to be about out of it right now, having that hand rested on the bottom rope while prone.
Eve: Adam Lucas reigns down on the back of TLA with stomps, but the referee pulls him away, admonishing him for the action, but emotions are running high, aggression is starting to pour out.
Deadprez: We’re far from the technical wrestling we saw at the beginning as now Adam Lucas lines up TLA, who picks himself up using the ropes, back to his opponent, no idea what’s coming next as he turns around into a KICK TO THE GUT! ADAM HOISTS HIM UP FOR A POWER- NO! IT GOT REVERSED INTO THE MEXICAN DESTROYER! ADAM GOT SPIKED RIGHT ON HIS HEAD!
Gavin Kirkland: It’s over! TLA has this won!
Eve: All he needs to do is crawl over, and place that hand across the chest, which he does! Adam’s done!
ONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEE!!
….
….
….
Deadprez: SOMEHOW, SOMEWAY, ADAM LUCAS KICKS OUT! TLA certainly didn’t expect that, and felt as if he had the match won right there. But you can’t get frustrated in a situation like this, you already gotta be back on the opposition. Abs TLA thinks to himself on what’s next, but look at Adam Lucas, who tried pulling himself up using the ropes as we’ve seen him do before, but didn’t have the energy too, just hanging himself up on the middle rope.
Eve: TLA sees his opponent draped on the middle rope, and might’ve just gotten his next plan of attack already, rebounding off the opposite set of ropes! FOR A TIGER FEINT KICK, AKA THE 305! BUT ADAM LUCAS DUCKS DOWN IN TIME TO AVOID IT! TLA STOPS HIMSELF IN THE RING, AND TURNS AROUND TO WANDER RIGHT INTO THE LEVEL UP! POP-UP POWERBOMB CONNECTS AGAIN, AND ADAM FALLS INTO THE COVER, BARELY HOOKING THE INSIDE LEG!
ONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEE!!
Deadprez: FOOT ON THE ROPE! TLA GOT HIS FOOT ON THE ROPE! And Adam Lucas starts to pound the mat in frustration, knowing that was it, if he’d had just hooked the outside leg, he’d probably be standing here right now as the Answers World Champion.
Eve: But the longer a match gets, sometimes the sloppier you can get at times, and Adam made a clear miscalculation, but I don’t think a slip up like that’s gonna happen again. If one of these men are hit with the other’s move again, I’m not sure if there’ll be much resilency left to kickout.
Deadprez: Adam Lucas clears the hair out of his face, and you can see the fired up expression as TLA finds himself in the corner, trying to get his wits about him. BUT ADAM LUCAS CHARGES IN WITH A CLOTHESLINE, AND RUNS TO THE OPPOSITE CORNER TO BUILD MOMENTUM FOR ANOTHER! AND ANO- NO!
Eve: TLA CAME OUT OF THE CORNER WITH A RUNNING EUROPEAN UPPERCUT! Expending all the energy he had for that one as now both he and Adam are down. TLA prone on the canvas, and Adam sprawled out. If TLA could, now would be the perfect time for a pin.
Deadprez: …both competitors start to slowly regain vertical positioning once more, grabbing onto the back of each other’s heads as they do. AND ADAM LUCAS CONNECTS WITH A RIGHT!
Crowd: YAY!
Deadprez: TLA FIRES BACK WITH A FOREARM!
Crowd: BOO!
Eve: SUPERKICK BY ADAM LUCAS, BUT AFTER STAGGERING BACK, TLA LANDS THE SAME! Adam Lucas is glazed over, BUT STILL THROWS ANOTHER RIGHT HAND SHOT TO THE SKULL! FOREARM BY TLA! SHOT TO THE UNPROTECTED BODY BY ADAM LUCAS!
Deadprez: ELBOW SMASH BY TLA! AND ADAM HITS ANOTHER PUNCH! BOTH MEN RUN OFF THE OPPOSITE SET OF ROPES TO EACH OTHER, AND COLLIDE WITH A DOUBLE CROSSBODY!
Eve: TLA and Adam Lucas just got the wind taken out of both their sails, and after getting it back, crawl over toward one another.
Deadprez: Both their heads begin to rest on each other’s shoulder, using their opponent’s body and momentum to get back to their feet. ADAM LUCAS LANDS A HARD SLAP ACROSS THE FACE OF TLA, AND I THINK THAT FIRED HIM UP!
Eve: SWAG SHOT! TLA WITH A PIMP SLAP ACROSS THE FACE OF ADAM, TALK ABOUT A WAY TO ONE UP! BUT LUCAS HITS TLA WITH A PIMP SLAP OF HIS OWN, AND THE TWO BEGIN TO EXCHANGE JUST SLAPS IN GENERAL!
Deadprez: TLA GETS THE UPPER HAND IN SAID EXCHANGE, HITTING ADAM FROM BOTH SIDES, DESPITE ATTEMPTS TO COVER UP! AND LUCAS EXPLODES WITH A STEP-UP ENZIGURI TO REGAIN CONTROL!
Eve: THE MOMENTUM OF TLA HAS BEEN SUCCESSFULLY HALTED AS ADAM WHIPS HIM INTO THE CORNER, CHARGING IN RIGHT AFTER! BUT TLA GOES UP AND OVER- OR SHOULD I SAY TRIED TO, BUT ADAM CAUGHT HIM ON HIS SHOULDER, AND WALKS WITH TLA TO THE CENTER OF THE RING!
Deadprez: BUT TLA! TLA SPUN OUT WITH A TILT-A-WHIRL DDT, SPIKING ADAM LUCAS ON HIS HEAD!
Eve: TLA rolls Adam over onto his back, but isn’t looking for the cover, and goes to climb up the top rope, back facing his opponent. If I were to guess, we’re on the verge of seeing Burnout. But- wait, TLA repositions himself to face Adam Lucas on the top rope, seeing that Lucas was stirring, and didn’t wanna leave himself in a vulnerable position like that.
Deadprez: TLA OFF THE TOP WITH A DRAGONRANA! …BUT ADAM LUCAS HOLDS HIM IN PLACE, AND POWERS TLA BACK UP IN POSITION FOR A POWERBOMB! LEVEL UP!
Eve: MIGHTA SPOKE A BIT TOO SOON THERE, PARTNER, AS TLA COUNTERS WITH A HURRICANRANA, HOOKING BOTH LEGS IN THE COVER!
ONNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHRRRRRRR-
Deadprez: Adam is quickly back to his feet after that, and TLA only gets up to a knee. Lucas grabs the shoulder of his opponent, BUT TLA COMES OUTTA NOWHERE WITH THE CARTEL KICK! THE PELE KICK DROPS ADAM LUCAS, AND PUTS HIM IN DROP ZONE DISTANCE FOR THE BURNOUT! TLA stomps down on the chest of Lucas before ascending to the top rope…
Eve: BURNOUT! THE CORKSCREW 360 SENTON CONNECTS, AND TLA HOOKS THE OUTSIDE LEG!
ONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
(Foot on the ropes)
THHHHHHHHRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Gina Romano: HERE’S YOUR WINNER…AND STILL THE EAW ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION…TLA!!
(‘Ambitionz az a Ridah’ by Tupac plays to a mixed reaction from the crowd, mostly booing, but a small margin able to cheer after witnessing such a great match between these two, and seeing TLA score the hard fought victory. TLA sits himself up on the mat, and is handed his Championship, which he raises high after being helped to his feet by the ref.)
Eve: TLA has retained his Answers World Championship!
Deadprez: But Showdown’s main event match for Pain for Pride is still subject to change with the Grand Rampage match coming.
Eve: Yeah, will we see Impact keep his spot? Or will it go to someone else on the Showdown roster?
Gavin Kirkland: MY MONEY’S ON LIMMY MONAGHAN! LET’S RUN IT BACK! TLA GOT LUCKY!
Eve: :wow:
(While posing on the turnbuckle with his Title, the replay for the match shows up, and what’s caught this time round is Adam Lucas having his free foot on the middle rope due to TLA hooking the pin too deep, and Adam tries bringing this to the referee’s attention angrily, the two going back-and-forth.)
Deadprez: Guys, Adam might have a legitimate gripe here, seeing the footage back, he indeed did have his foot on the middle rope.
Eve: I guess the excitement caused us to miss it.
(The marginal crowd reaction even turns to boo, everyone flocking to the side of Adam Lucas, going as far to throw trash in the ring, feeling as if he got screwed. TLA steps off the middle rope, and turns around to interject between Lucas and the referee.)
Eve: Looks like Adam is explaining to TLA what really went down.
Deadprez: Adam kicks the bottom rope in frustration, and you can see TLA clearly trying to appease things. He had the same clue as the rest of us, which is none.
Eve: If that’s enough to see a rematch between the two, I wouldn’t be mad.
(TLA extends his hand to Lucas, trying to smooth things over, but after taking a long glance at it, Adam simply turns around and starts to walk away, but he stops. Looking down at the floor, Adam Lucas takes a deep breath, knowing he was cheated, knowing that he was pinned. He looks up at his hometown folks who cheer him with a standing ovation. He nods and turns to TLA, the two of them glaring at each other but TLA still has his hand out for the shake.)
Deadprez: What is Adam going to do? He has to be so damn disappointed right now, this was his hometown, the Main Event of Night one, it was his chance and the referee is refusing to look at the replay, even though he saw TLA’s foot earlier!
Eve: That’s the worst part! That Adam Lucas was not really pinned! His foot was on the rope and this match should have continued. Look at Adam, he is turning to the referee is pleading with him.
(The referee holds up three, a dejected Adam again turns back, pacing a little as TLA continues to have his hand out to shake it. Adam Lucas looks at it, then walks up to TLA one more time and he grabs his hand and shakes it. The crowd erupts in cheers….)
Gavin Kirkland: ADAM LUCAS SHOWING SPORTSMANSHIP AND CLASS! My Bromance’s are getting along and this is a good day to be in the EAW! Adam is the future and I know that his time will come!
Eve: There is no doubt about it! Adam Lucas will be a World Champion and it may not be this season but it sure as hell could be the next!
(Adam nods and starts to walk out, TLA looks at the crowd and bows as they really love their hometown boy. Adam steps out of the ring and is on the apron ready to drop to the floor but looks at the crowd one more time and nods…)
Eve: What an ovation Adam Lucas is seeing here tonight and we really love to see this from two great competitors…..
Deadprez:….. OH MY GAWD IT’S THE BUCKSHOT LARIAT ON TLA!!!! WHAT THE HELL!!!! ADAM LUCAS CAME OUT OF NOWHERE AND LAID OUT TLA AND LOOK AT THE REFERE! HE LOOKS STUNNED AND ADAM GRABS THE REFEREE AND UP IN THE AIR THE NEXT LEVEL HE JUST LAID OUT THE REFEREE! HE JUST DESTROYED THE OFFICIAL TOO!
(The crowd is stunned but they still cheer the hometown hero on as Adam looks down at the World Championship, he picks it up and looks at TLA who is stirring on the ground….)
Adam Lucas: (Off Mic) This isn’t over!
(Adam takes one last glance at the Answers World Championship before dropping it on TLA. He looks at the crowd and shakes in anger as they continue to cheer for him.)
Eve: I AM COMPLETELY STUNNED! ADAM LUCAS LOST TONIGHT UNFORTUNATELY BY A REFEREE MISTAKE BUT THIS WAS NOT THE WAY TO ANSWER BACK!
Deadprez: You know… I don’t blame him for being upset but Adam Lucas will have to face the consequences for his actions!
Gavin Kirkland: Nooooooo! Not like this!
Deadprez: Adam Lucas….. Damn it! Just made a statement but TLA is STILL the Answers World Champion!
Gavin Kirkland: WHY ADAM!?!?! WHY!?!?!
(Adam continues to look down at TLA and the downed referee as officials come running out to check on both as he raises his arms and the hometown crowd continues to cheer as the camera fades to black.)
DAY 2
Bella Braxton: Ladies and Gentlemen, the following contest is New Era Classic Semi-Finals match scheduled FOR!!!
Live crowd: ONE FALL!!!
( ‘Sugar We’re Going Down’ by Fall Out Boy begins to blast through the speakers of the Yankee Stadium as the camera goes over to show Harley Lewis making his way out from the backstage area and towards the stage. He has an arrogant smirk on his face as he looks around before posing at the center of the stage, tossing the sunglasses he has on away before making his way down the ramp and towards the ring.)
Stephie Love: INTRODUCING FIRST, Leading Block A in the tournament! From Manchester, United Kingdom!! Weighing in at 185 pounds: HE IS HARLEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY LEWISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stew-O: Quick, agile, task driven let’s see now that we are so close to the end of the tournament how the British Playboy is going to work for a chance to make it all the way!
( ‘Sweet Caroline’ by Neil Diamond begins to blast throughout the speakers in the arena, to a response of explosive cheers from the fans at the sight of “Sweet” Caroline, who walks out through the curtain! Caroline looks really joyful as she then begins to make it to the ring, rolling in and posing, before backing into her corner.)
Bella Braxton: AAAAND HIS OPPONENT! Leading Block B in the tournament! From Paducah, Kentucky! Weighing in at 102 pounds! SW-EEEEEEEET CA-RO-LIIIIIIIIIINEEE !!!
Gavin Kirkland: Here comes a little lady who is impressing more and more and she is only 19 years of age ladies and gentlemen! So young yet so full of potential and only two victories away from being the New Era Classic Tournament Champion! She is definitely one to watch!
Stew-O: Not a whole lot seems to stop this little ball of energy and if she keeps this up then the sky is the only limit for this former National cheerleading and dance Champion! This should be a good match! LET’S GET TO IT!!
Persephone: REF!! DO THE THING!!!
Official: RING THE BELL!!!!
( Ding! Ding! Ding! )
Gavin Kirkland: HERE WE GO! This semi-final match IS ON between Harley Lewis and Sweet Caroline! Lewis moves in Caroline’s face looking down on her and giving her the what’s what BUT SHE GIVES HIM THE TALK TO THE HAND GESTURE! This provokes Harley to charge at Caroline who ducks under a clothesline attempt and she strikes first with an elbow to the face of Lewis!!
Stew-O: He backs away and she presses onto the attack! A punch to the face! She does it to the back as he turned looking at the ropes! He ends up in the cables and into a corner when she throws in a kick THAT HE CAUGHT WITH AN ARM!! Caroline went aggressively but her opponent now LIFTS HER UP to THE GROUND AND HE GOES RUNNING SLAMMING HER AGAINST THE OPPOSITE TURNBUCKLES!!!
Persephone: Look at him posing just now, that was just ONE MOVE! ONE MOVE!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Harley resumes the assault, grabbing Caroline by the hair and moving her to the center of the ring as she seems still dazed and he dashes to the ropes. SHE FOLLOWS BEHIND HIM! Into the ropes both go AND CAROLINE BRINGS LEWIS DOWN WITH A RUNNING BULLDOG!! HARLEY PLANTS FACE-FIRST INTO THE RING MAT! Caroline goes to a corner, looking pumped she rushes to Lewis WHO WHIPS HER OVER THE TOP ROPE!
Stew-O: But Caroline lands on the apron! Harley throws in a punch blocked by the young woman AND SHE STRIKES BACK! Lewis stumbles back towards the center of the ring! He charges back to her BUT HE IS STOPPED WITH A BULL CHARGE FROM BETWEEN THE ROPES! WAIT! HE GRABBED HER HEAD!! HE MOVES A BIT BACKWARD! HER BODY IS SUSPENDED BETWEEN HIS ARM AND THE ROPES! HE TAKES HER DOWN WITH A HARD-SOUNDING DDT!!! What a move by Lewis to regain the momentum of this match!
Persephone: Why not go for a cover while we’re at it eh? Ah, no, he prefers to brag. LOSER!!!
Gavin Kirkland: LOOK AT CAROLINE! SHE GOES FOR A SURPRISE ROLL-Up!! THE MOST DEVASTATING MOVE IN OUR BUSINESS!!!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
Persephone: And loser kicks out! What a surprise!
Stew-O: Caroline is sending a message to her opponent, she wants to make it to the final of the tournament but more important she is telling Lewis that she won’t let him have his way with her! She is sending a message to the entire EAW that she is here and that she wants to make an impact!
Gavin Kirkland: She sure is making an impact on Harley’s face right now as she is in a mounted position over Lewis and throwing hard strikes down at him. Unloading on Lewis but he shoves her off him creating separation allowing him to get back to his knees. They meet at the center of the ring, she goes FOR A CUTTER!! DOWN GOES HARLEY!! AND LEWIS ROLLS TO THE OUTSIDE APRON!
Stew-O: Advantage Caroline at the moment as Lewis is getting to his feet on the apron helping himself with the ropes AND CAROLINE KNOCKS HIM TO THE OUTSIDE WITH A SPRINGBOARD DROPKICK!! DOWN GOES HARLEY AND THE CROWD CHEERS ON THE YOUNG WOMAN FROM PADUCAH, KENTUCKY!
Gavin Kirkland: Caroline looks down on her opponent before glancing at the crowd then she suddenly bolts to the ropes opposite to the area where Lewis is. She’s thinking Suicide D-LEWIS JUST CLOCKED HER IN THE MOUtH WITH A EUROPEAN UPPERCUT WHICH SENDS HER RIGHT BACK TO THE CENTER OF THE RING!!!
Stew-O: Lewis brags again, engaging with the crowd letting them know why he’s going to win the New Era Classic Tournament, AND HERE COMES CAROLINE JUMPING OVER THE TOP ROPE AND LANDING ATOP OF HIM!!!!! THE CROWD IS GOING NUTS!
Crowd: CA-RO-LINE! CA-RO-LINE! CA-RO-LINE! CA-RO-LINE! CA-RO-LINE! CA-RO-LINE!
Gavin Kirkland: Back on the up and up for this young upstart who’s hopping on the apron and lines herself up for the next attack she has in store for Lewis. She’s thinking cannonball! She goes for it BUT LEWIS CAUGHT HER! AND HE SLAMS HER INTO THE NEARBY BARRICADES! HE DOES IT AGAIN!!! HER HEAD BOUNCING AGAINST THE RAILING THAT MUST HURT!!!
Stew-O: Harley does it without any sign of remorse too from the looks of it! What does that mean for the remainder of this match? Right now Caroline is in trouble as the official begins to make the outside count!
Official: ONE! TWO!!
Stew-O: Caroline holding her head laid on her back as she then begins to slowly make her way up to her knees. He grabs her by the hair, she tries to get free NOT BEFORE LEWIS WHIPS HER AGAINST A CORNER POST!!
Official: THREE!!! FOUR!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Lewis argues with a fan outside of the ring, obviously ignoring the counting of the official! He moves to Caroline, DRIVING HER BACK AGAINST THE RAILING WITH A RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP! MY GOD!!
Official: FIVE!!!!! SIX!!!!!!
Stew-O: Harley looks proud of himself as he brags to the booing crowd! He might get eliminated! Right now it doesn’t seem like Caroline is close to being able to get back inside the ring! Harley rolls back inside.
Official: SEVEN!!!!!!! EIGHT!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Is she going to make it?? Harley is looking down! Caroline is trying to make it back inside!!!
Official: NINE!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: She’s Almost There!!!
…
…
…
…
…
Persephone: Well fuck me sideways!
Gavin Kirkland: CAROLINE IS IN THE RING!!! JUST AS SHE WAS ABOUT TO BE COUNTED OUT!!! THE FANS LOVE IT! Harley is livid!! He tries to calm down as he quickly moves to stomp at Caroline in a corner under the boos of the crowd. Caroline shows her desire to endure but she will need to get some offense in if she wants a chance at victory!
Stew-O: Harshly, he moves Caroline so she could stand, nailing her chin with a left Uppercut! It goes right on the button FOLLOWED BY A HEADBUTT!! Caroline is reeling before she is getting SMASHED with a corner to the face! Harley goes to the opposite corner, measures and then dashes forward CRASHING INTO CAROLE WITH A RUNNING CLOTHESLINE!
Gavin Kirkland: He picks Caroline up, moving her to the center of the ring before whipping her into the ropes. ELBOW SMASH TAKES DOWN THE SWEET GIRL!
Harley Lewis: AND THIS IS WHY, OH DEAREST FANS, I AM WINNING THIS TOURNAMENT!!
Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Persephone: Less bragging more action! THIS MATCH IS DRAGGING ON YOU FUCKING SLACKER!!!
Harley Lewis: Oh Piss Off You Bloody Cunt!!
Persephone: O.O!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Harley Lewis meanwhile appears to be in complete control of this match as he then resumes the action moving toward Caroline and throwing a few kicks to the midsection before getting her up to her feet. Whip into the ropes SHE SPRINGBOARDS HERSELF INTO AN UPPERCUT!!! LEWIS TAKES IT IN THE MOUTH AND DROPS IT DOWN! He quickly gets up only to get on his knees from an oblique kick by your young lady from Kentucky!
Stew-O: This is an opening she must take advantage of otherwise this match might end quickly! She throws a few MMA kicks! Some to his chest and the last one to his face! Harley drops to the mat AND CAROLINE FOLLOWS WITH AN ELBOW DROP! She moves to the ropes AND GOES FOR A SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT! PERFECTLY EXECUTED! Like an angel in motio-
Persephone: Oh for fuck sake man! That girl ain’t no angel! Quit fantasizing!
Stew-O: What about Re-
Persephone: SHUT UP!
Gavin Kirkland: Caroline with the ascendency over her opponent right now as he tries to stand on his feet. She is smiling, waiting for him to get up and engage with her. She taps at her wrist! Letting Lewis know she doesn’t have all day and he lunged at her! She quickly ducks, hops to the first rope on one side of the ring, then the second of another side THEN THROWS A CHUN-LI TYPE SPINNING KICK THAT NAILS HARVEY!! DOWN HE GOES AND CAROLINE DROPS OVER HIM!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
Persephone: What will we expect next, a fucking Fatality?
Stew-O: No idea! But what is certain is this match will continue a while longer as Harley Lewis just lifted the shoulder up to break the count! He will not be taken out so easily it seems!
Persephone: Leave me with him in the ring and that match is already over!
Stew-O: Sure, sure.
Gavin Kirkland: Meanwhile the action continues inside the ring as Harley is back to a vertical back BUT IS TAKEN DOWN WITH A CLOTHESLINE! He gets back up again! Punch to the face by Caroline AND ANOTHER CLOTHESLINE! THEN A DROPKICK AS HARLEY GETS UP WHICH SENDS HIM TO A CORNER!! She quickly goes to him and proceeds to throw some knife-edged chops!!
SMACK!
Crowd: WOOOOOOOO!!!

Crowd: WOOOOOOOO!!!

Stew-O: Caroline then hops on the second rope, now standing taller over Lewis, she grabs him by the hair and begins to throw in some punches!!!
Crowd: ONE! TWO!! THREE!!! FOUR!!!! FIVE!!!!! SIX!!!!!! SEVEN!!!!!!! EIGHT!!!!!!!! NINE!!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: She cocks the tenth punch she dro-
Stew-O: HARLEY JUST WENT DOWN TO A KNEE AND MOVES FORWARD THEN QUICKLY GOT UP!! HE HAS CAROLINE IN A POWERBOMB POSITION!!! SHE THROWS DOWN QUICK FISTS OVER HIS HEAD BUT HE MOVES FORWARD AND TAKES OFF RUNNING!! BUCKLE BOOOOOOOOOMB!!!! CAROLINE LANDS ON HER FACE! HAND TO HER BACK WRITING IN PAIN WHILE LEWIS ENDS UP TO A KNEE HOLDING HIS HEAD AND FEELING DIZZY!!!
Crowd: THIS IS AWESOME! THIS IS AWESOME! THIS IS AWESOME! THIS IS AWESOME! THIS IS AWESOME!
Gavin Kirkland: In one move, Harley managed to turn the tables and now things are at a stalemate with both him and Caroline down to the ground. This has been a quick-paced match so far I can’t wait to see what’s next! Caroline is getting to her knees as well, throwing a punch at Harley who blocks it! He tries a punch of his own, Caroline blocks it as well! Caroline tries again! This time it lands!
Crowd: YEAH!!!!
Stew-O: Lewis throws one of his own as well, which connects also!
Crowd: BOOO!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Caroline throws another left!!
Crowd: YEAH!!!!
Stew-O: Followed by a response from Harley!!
Crowd: BOOO!!!!
Crowd: YEAH!!!!
Crowd: BOOO!!!!
Crowd: YEAH!!!!
Crowd: BOOO!!!!
Crowd: YEAH!!!! YEAH!!!! YEAH!!!! YEAH!!!! YEAH!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Caroline is gaining the upper hand and quickly whips him into the ropes! She tries for a superkick but Lewis ducks low! QUICK NECK BREAKER TAKING DOWN CAROLINE!! She tries to get up while in pain, LEWIS DROPS HER DOWN ONCE AGAIN WITH A SCOOP SLAM!! The British Playboy is gaining momentum now and he throws fists at Caroline on her back and as she is on her fours now trying to get up AND SHE PUSHES HIM TO A CORNER WHILE GETTING PUMMELED!!
Stew-O: She is showing a lot of heart and resiliency that little one as she drives her shoulder into the ribs of her opponent over and over! Harley stops hitting her in the back as she then hoists him to sit on the top turnbuckle, what does she hav-
Persephone: HEADBUTT!!
Stew-O: A HEADBUTT STOPS CAROLINE’S EFFORTS! Harley grabs her by the head AND HE GOES FOR A SPRINGBOARD DDT FROM THE CORNER!! CAROLINE’S HEAD COULD ALMOST BE PLANTED IN THE MAT!! SHE LAYS FLAT ON HER BACK! LEWIS WITH A COVER!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
Persephone: Ah man this match could be over now!!
Stew-O: But thanks to Caroline’s effort in kicking out this match is still underway!!
Persephone: Fucking dammit!
Gavin Kirkland: Harler is looking for what move he can pull off next in order to bring more pain to his opponent. He goes for an armbar, keeping Caroline to the ground BEFORE THEN SWITCHING TO A TRIANGLE HOLD!! HE IS TRYING TO HAVE HER SUBMIT BUT SHE QUICKLY MANAGES TO GRAB ONTO THE NEARBY ROPES! The official orders the man to let her go and he does so after a few seconds. BEFORE PULLING HER TO THE CENTER OF THE RING AND TRYING FOR A SHARPSHOOTER!!
Stew-O: HE IS ABOUT TO APPLY THE MOVE BUT CAROLINE MANAGED TO KICK HIM OFF OF HER!! He backs into the ropes quickly bouncing toward her AND USES HER BOOT TO SWING HIM ON HIS BACK IN A FLIP BEHIND HER!! She quickly gets up, groaning from pain but trucking on a DROPKICKS HARLEY TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE RING!
Gavin Kirkland: Caroline goes to the apron, Lewis on his end is getting to his feet BUT HE GOES BACK DOWN AS A RESULT OF A METEORA RIGHT IN THE BACK FROM AN ELEVATED POSITION!! HARLEY PLANTS FACE FIRST ON THE FLOOR!! Caroline rolls off of him and is quickly back to her feet! The official is calling for both of them to come back inside the ring of will begin to count them out! Caroline doesn’t seem bothered AS SHE WHIPS HARLEY OVER OUR ANNOUNCE TABLE!!
Persephone: Every time. EVERY FUCKING TIME!!!
Stew-O: SHE JUMPED ATOP OF HIM THROWING PUNCHES AT HIM! SHE THEN GRABS HOLD OF ONE OF OUR TABLETS AND BREAKS IT OVER HARLEY’S HEAD!!!
Persephone: BITCH!! THAT WAS MY TABLET!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: I can share mine w-
Persephone: SHOVE IT UP YOUR A-
Stew-O: Meanwhile, Caroline got off the table looking for her neck offensive maneuver. She moves up to the top corner of the corner nearest to our table. Is she going to… No! Harley moved off the table. She hops down from the corner and to the apron making her way to Harley aiming to kick his face off BUT HE DUCKS AND SWIPES HER OFF HER FEET! She lands on the apron!
Gavin Kirkland: Harley is all smiling after this one though groaning a little from the pain she got him through a moment ago. Caroline is holding the back of her head but she gets moved to her feet after Harley moved up to the apron. She is being set up for a powerbomb! if he lands it this will mean big trouble for Sweet Caroline! He tries to lift her but she blocks the move with a boot to the ropes.
Stew-O: He tries again after hitting her in the spine with a closed hand hammer fist! She goes to a knee BUT SHE QUICKLY GRABS HIS HEAD AND GOES TO HER KNEES! JAWBREAKEEER!!! AND THEN SHE GOES FOR A SUNSET FLIP ON THE APRON!!! OH MY GAWD!!! THE IMPACT PARTLY ROCKED THE RING!!!
Crowd: THIS IS AWE-SOME! THIS IS AWE-SOME! THIS IS AWE-SOME! THIS IS AWE-SOME!
Gavin Kirkland: Harley is holding his back in pain his facial expression showing just how much he is suffering at the moment as he then rolls down to the outside of the ring and to his feet. Stumbling forward, he throws an arm away saying he has enough! He is making his way towards the ramp he is on the side BUT LOOK AT CAROLINE WHO THROWS HERSELF AT HIM AND BRINGS him DOWN WITH A HURRICANRANAAAAAA!!!!!
Stew-O: THE CROWD LOVES EVERY MINUTE OF IT AND CAROLINE IS NOT GOING TO ACCEPT WINNING A MATCH VIA COUNTOUT!! SHE WANTS TO WIN ON MERIT AS SHE DRAGS HARLEY BACK TOWARDS THE RING AND ROLLS HIM B-NO!! HE JUST RAMMED HER BACK AGAINST THE RING APRON!!! He then rolls her into the ring attempting a pin attempt!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
Persephone: He’s Using The Ropes!!
Referee: HEY!! HEY, WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU’RE DOING??
Stew-O: And the official saw it! Harley is livid as he argues his innocence with the referee! He then goes back to Caroline dropping an elbow BUT CAROLINE ROLLED AWAY! She is retreating to a corner as Lewis is getting up! He makes his way to her BUT SHE LIFTS A BOOT PLANTING IT AGAINST HARLEY’S FACE!!
Gavin Kirkland: He stumbles towards the center of the ring as Caroline moves to her feet! He turns to face her, HE GETS HER ELBOW TO THE JAW! A SECOND ONE LANDS! SHE FOLLOWS IT WITH A KNIFE-EDGE CHOP!!
Crowd: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Stew-O: A STRAIGHT PUNCH TO THE FACE OF HARLEY THIS TIME!! FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER! AND A THIRD! CAROLINE IS UNLOADING ON LEWIS RIGHT NOW!!! LEFTS AND RIGHTS TO BOTH SIDES OF LEWIS’ FACE!! SHE IS PUMPED UP!!! SHE RALLIES THE CROWD AS SHE MOVES TO THE CENTER OF THE RING WHILE LEWIS IS IN THE ROPES!! THE CROWD IS COMPLETELY BEHIND HER! SHE CHARGES AT HARLEY WHO STOPS HER DEAD WITH AN EUROPEAN UPPERCUT FOLLOWED BY A QUICK SUPERKICK!! DOWN GOES CAROLINE! LEWIS HOOKS THE LEGS!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: DENIED!!! CAROLINE REFUSES TO BE PUT AWAY LIKE THAT!! VALLIANT EFFORT BY THE FORMER NATIONAL CHEERLEADING CHAMPION!! Lewis looks at the official, wanting to make sure it was a two and not a winning three before focusing back on Caroline. She is on her feet, a slap to the chest gets her to the ropes!
Stew-O: He whips her into the-NO SHE REVERSES!! A PALM STRIKE TO THE EAR SHAKES HARVEY AND SHE GRABS HIS HEAD! SHE GOES TO THE ROPES AND GOES DOWN WITH A BULLDOG!!! PERFECTLY EXECUTED!! And Harley rolls outside of the ring again! The crowd lets him know they don’t appreciate that at all.
Persephone: Can I let him know too??
Gavin Kirkland: She rushes to the ropes AND DIVES WITH A TOPE CON HILO!!! SHE DROPS ON TOP OF LEWIS AND ROLLS TO HER FEET! She picks him up and whips him into the ring. She positions him against the ropes. She grabs an arm THEM HOPS IN ONE MOTION ON THE TOP ROPE BEFORE TAKING DOWN HARLEY WITH A BACKFLIP DDT!!! WHAT A MOVE BY CAROLINE WHO GOES FOR A ROLL-UP!!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
Stew-O: AND SOMEHOW HARLEY LEWIS MANAGES TO KICK OUT AT TWO!! The British Playboy keeps his chances alive and Caroline moves away from him, hoisting herself upon the turnbuckle near the pinfall attempt. She is looking to fly and she goes for a Meteora just as Harley is turning to face her BUT HE CAUGHT HER IN A SMALL PACKAGE LIKE POSITION!!! AND HE SLAMS HER DOWN WITH ALL OF HIS WEIGHT!!!
Gavin Kirkland: HE TRIES TO KEEP HER SHOULDERS TO THE MAT THAT WAY!! THIS IS A COVER!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTHHHRRRRR-
Gavin Kirkland: HOW DID SHE GET OUT OF THAT ONE?? THAT WOMAN IS MORE IMPRESSIVE BY THE MINUTE!! CAROLINE MANAGED TO LIFT A SHOULDER UP WHILE BOTH WERE FIRMLY KEPT DOWN!!! Harley is looking annoyed as he suddenly begins to throw punches at his opponent! SHE REVERSES! AND NOW SHE IS GOING AT HIM WITH HARD PUNCHES!! They end on their feet! Still clocking each other senseless!
Stew-O: Harley with an uppercut replied with a knee to the midsection! Harley goes for a leg sweep which is hopped over by Caroline WHO GOES FOR A SPINNING KICK ALSO DODGED BY HARLEY! BOTH END UP IN A STAND-OFF POSITION AND THE CROWD ABSOLUTELY LOVES IT!!! Then they quickly go to the ropes as opposed to one another AND BOTH GOES DOWN WITH A DOUBLE CLOTHESLINE!!!!!
Stew-O: We are witnessing a fiercely contested bout ladies and gentlemen, those two competitors are giving it their all tonight for a chance to make it to the final of the New Era Classic Tournament! Who will emerge on top between The British Playboy and Sweet Caroline?
Gavin Kirkland: Both opponents are slowly getting back to a vertical base, Harley is a smidge quicker than Caroline and throws himself into a front dropkick that sends Caroline into some turnbuckles!! Lewis moves in quickly and hugs Caroline, an arm over one of his shoulders he is going for an exploder suplex! HE SWINGS! BUT CAROLINE LANDS ON HER FEET WITH FELINE AGILITY!! HARLEY OVERSHOT THE MOVE AND HE DOESN’T SEEMS TO REALIZE IT!!
Stew-O: Caroline has to make good of this opportunity! She is quickly behind him and heel kicks him so he backs up into the ropes!! She grabs him and GOES FOR THE VINTAGE CAROLINE!!! THE SPLIT LEG DROP INTO A PINFALL! A SIGNATURE MOVE OF HERS!! WILL IT BE ENOUGH??
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
Persephone: AAAAARGH!
Gavin Kirkland: SO CLOSE! But not enough for the young lady, not enough to put the Hollywood star away! She kip-ups to her feet, moving Harley up as well before grabbing him by the crotch AND FLIP HIM INTO A SCOOP SLAM! ON HIS BACK GOES LEWIS and Caroline quickly goes topside! She is calling for yet another of her signature moves! THE CUPCAKE SPLASH! SHE IS AIRBORNE WITH THE 450 SPLASH BUT SHE ENDS UP CRASHING ON THE MAT!!
Persephone: HAHA!
Stew-O: HARLEY MOVES OUT OF THE WAY IN A NICK OF TIME AND CAROLINE PAID A HEAVY PRICE FOR HER DESIRE TO TAKE IT TO THE SKIES WITH HER OFFENSE!!! Lewis is quicker on his feet than his opponent AND GOES FOR THE SLIDE IN THE DM’S! THE LEGWEEP TAKES DOWN CAROLINE AND NOW IT’S HARLEY’S TURN TO GO OR UP! Quickly sizing up his rival tonight HE DROPS DOWN INTO A DOUBLE FOOT STOMP THAT CONNECTS! BY GAWD ALL OF HIS WEIGHT ON HER PETITE FRAME!!! AND HE GOES FOR A PIN!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTHHHRRRRR-
Gavin Kirkland: BELIEVE IT OR NOT FOLKS BUT THAT GIRL IS SHOWING US WHAT SHE’S GOT AND SHE… KICKED… OUT!!!! SEEMS LIKE THERE IS NO QUIT IN SWEET CAROLINE AND THE FANS ARE LOVING IT! Harley meanwhile looks phased just a little bit but then quickly moves into action! He turns to be atop of her and positions himself for the Hollywood Struggle! HE HAS IT LOCKED IN!! THE BRIDGING FUJIRAWA ARMBAR IS HAVING CAROLINE SCREAMING FOR DEAR LIFE!
Stew-O: HARLEY IS APPLYING MUCH PRESSURE AND MANIPULATES THE JOINT IN ORDER TO HURT CAROLINE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE!! HER EYES ARE SET ON THE ROPES THEY ARE NOT FAR AWAY BUT WILL SHE TAP OUT BEFORE SHE CAN REACH IT!! THE OFFICIAL IS LOOKING UP TO HER! ASKS IF SHE WANTS TO QUIT AND SHE SCREAMS NO!! SHE IS INCHES AWAY FROM THE ROPES!! SHE IS JUST ABOUT TO! BUT WILL SHE T-SHE GOT THE ROPE!!!! But LEWIS ISN’T LETTING GO! THE OFFICIAL IS STARTING TO COUNT!!
ONE!!!
TWO!!!!!
THREE!!!!!
FOUR!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: He frees her from his grasp just before the official opts to disqualify him! Smart move as it gave more damage to the arm of Caroline! What impact will it have on her going forward??
Stew-O: Harley looks towards the crowd playing to the fact they are booing him while he lets them know he is uncaring of them though they should respect and cheer for him instead of Caroline WHO IS GETTING UP!! SHE IS BEHIND HIM!! He turns AND SHE APPLIES SUGAR AND SPICE!! THE HEADLOCK DRIVER CONNECTS HARLEY’S FACE TO THE RING MAT IN A PAINFUL FASHION!!! THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR CAROLINE!! SHE GOES FOR A COVER!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTHHHHHRR-
Persephone: BLOODY HELL!!!
Gavin Kirkland: NOW IT’S HARLEY’S TURN TO KICK OUT AT THE LAST SECOND FOLLOWING A POWERFUL MOVE!!! CAROLINE WAS SO CLOSE BUT SHE WILL HAVE TO FIGHT A LITTLE MORE!! She looks down on Lewis who is slowly getting up, he stumbles then sits on her ass before trying to get vertical again and Caroline senses blood in the water!
Caroline: GO! FIGHT! WIN!!!!
Stew-O: She just called out the name of one of her finishers! She is looking to end things right now! Harley is getting vertical and that is Caroline’s queue! She is going to the ropes, bouncing! Flipping positioning her legs around his neck SHE’S GOING FOR THE PHOENIX DRAGONRAN-NOO WAIT LOOK!!!
Gavin Kirkland: LEWIS GRABBED HER LEGS AND PLANTED HIS FEET IN THE MAT!!! CAROLINE IS HANGING UPSIDE DOWN BUT HARLEY HOISTS HER UP! HE SLAMS HER DOWN WITH A POWERBOOOOOOMB!!! CAROLINE IS LAID OUT IN A T-POSE UNDER LEWIS!! He gets her up, hoisted over his shoulders, AND DELIVERS THE JUKEBOX BREAKEEEEEEEER!!! DEATH VALLEY DRIVER TAKES OUT CAROLINE!!!
Stew-O: HARLEY LEWIS DROPS TO HIS KNEES AND GOES FOR THE COVER!!! HE COULD WIN THIS!!!!
Persephone: IS IT OVER???
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
Persephone: IS IT OVER???
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEE!!!!
Persephone: YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSS!!!!!!
( DING! DING!! DING!!! )
( ‘Sugar We’re Going Down’ by Fall Out Boy begins to blast through the speakers of the Yankee Stadium as the camera goes to focus on The British Playboy as he is getting his lead arm raised in victory by the official. )
Bella Braxton: Ladies And Gentlemen The Winner Of This Bout And Moving To The New Era Classic Finals: THE LEADER OF BLOCK B! HARLEY LEWIIIIIIIS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: WHAT A SPECTACULAR WAY TO END WHAT IS NOTHING SHORT OF A SHOWCASE OF TWO COMING AND VERY PROMISING TALENT!! Harley went in with a plan and he executed it despite the opposition offered by the one who now will have to sit the remainder of the tournament!
( Harley is celebrating as Caroline is rolling out of the ring and slowly makes her way towards the back. )
Stew-O: On her end, while the road to the Finals ends for her it takes nothing away from the talent and incredible prowess that Caroline displayed for us tonight! This performance will serve her well and I am sure she will quickly bounce back from this loss!
(Grand Rampage fades backstage where Voltage’s Sofia Clark is standing by. She wears a smile on her face as she begins speaking into her microphone.)
Sofia Clarke: Ladies and gentlemen, last night the Gold Rush Finals dissolved into yet another gruesome and bloody chapter of the budding, deeply personal rivalry that is Drake King versus Minerva. It was always going to be explosive as soon as these two got a chance to face each other one-on-one and settle the score from Road to Redemption. Unfortunately, we were left without a winner, and without a challenger for the EAW World Championship match at Pain for Pride as Drake would keep Minerva from entering the ring, thus making sure both competitors were counted out. Things exploded from there between the two as Drake told Minerva he had made good on his promise that she wouldn’t get a chance to main event Pain for Pride and compete for the EAW World Championship.
(Sofia pauses for a moment to let that sink in before she goes to introduce her guest.)
Sofia Clarke: Joining me right now to talk about what went down last night is none other than Voltage’s Commissioner, Captain Charisma.
(The camera shot widens and Captain Charisma is standing next to Sofia. He’s sexy, like always, but tonight he has a serious look on his face.)
Sofia Clarke: Captain Charisma, thank you for joining me tonight. In just a few minutes, we will find out at least one-half of next month’s Pain for Pride main event for Voltage. Myles will defend the EAW World Championship against Brian Daniels in a highly anticipated clash of generations. However, both Myles and Brian were supposed to know who their potential Pain for Pride opponent would be, but there was no resolution to the finals of the Gold Rush Tournament. Where do we go from here?
Captain Charisma: I’ve had about 24-hours to think about it, Sofia, and honestly, I can’t really be shocked with how things ended between Drake and Minerva. Drake King has made it his goal for the last year and a half to sabotage everything Voltage stands for, and that includes the competitive spirit that drives people to want to compete for championships and prove that they are amongst the very best in this sport. All isn’t lost when it comes to who will take on either Myles or Brian Daniels at Pain for Pride. Grand Rampage is always competitive and it wouldn’t shock me to see a Voltage Elitist walk away with the biggest win of the night. Jake Smith and Chris Elite are already champions and have as good of a shot as anyone of winning. The Voltage main event may very well feature the Grand Rampage winner, but it’s also going to include the two finalists from the Gold Rush Tournament
(Cheers can be heard from the sold-out crowd inside of Yankee Stadium. They pop huge for Captain Charisma’s announcement. Sofia looks a little shocked.)
Sofia Clarke: So what you’re saying is that despite Drake King’s best efforts to spoil the Pain for Pride main event for Voltage, Drake AND Minerva will both competing for a chance to become the EAW World Champion??
Captain Charisma: That’s exactly what I’m saying, Sofia. Why not add fuel to the fires that burn inside of both of them? If Myles walks away victorious tonight, the world is going to get treated to what could be an all New Eden affair. If Brian walks away with the title tonight, then he very well may be able to notch a Pain for Pride main event win on his belt, due to Minerva and Drake’s blind hatred for one another. Whatever the scenario happens to be, and if we have a Grand Rampage winner to add to the affair, the match is sure to deliver. I can’t wait to see who walks out victorious tonight, Sofia. I love this time of year :wow:.
(Sofia can only shake her head in amazement as Captain Charisma takes his leave.)
Sofia Clark: Wow you heard it here, guys. The winner of tonight’s EAW World Championship match will take on Drake King and Minerva, and maybe the Grand Rampage winner in what I’m sure will be an insane, bloody, and crazy match at Pain for Pride! Back to you guys!
(With that, Grand Rampage fades down to ringside.)
(Grand Rampage fades to ringside, and in the middle of the ring is Bella Braxton, holding a microphone in her hand.)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen… The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!!!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!!
Bella Braxton: AND IT IS FOR THE EAW WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!!!!!
(‘Backseat Freestyle’ by Kendrick Lamar hits, and the crowd explodes into cheers in a reaction unlike what was usually received. Brian Daniels begins to walk out, and it’s no surprise that the New York crowd is cheering for someone from New York such as him. Brian Daniels looks focused despite the cheers though, knowing that this is the match he’s been waiting for ever since he returned to EAW back at Shock Value. He finally has the chance to go to Pain for Pride as World Champion, and that’s all that matters right now.)
Bella Braxton: Introducing first… From New York City, New York… Weighing in at 195 pounds…. BBBRRRIIIIIAAANNNNNN DDDAAAANNNIIIEEELLLSSS!!!!!
James Peters: Brian Daniels is out here, and Brian Daniels has been waiting a while for this! Brian Daniels returned back at Shock Value, and since then this has been a rollercoaster. At one point, we thought this match wasn’t even going to happen!
Rich Russillo: That’s right, but now we’re here, and Brian Daniels looks more ready than ever to become Champion!
Persephone: And I’m ready to fall asleep, so hopefully this match doesn’t take forever to end.
(‘Enemy Strike’ by Yuki Hayashi follows, and the crowd continues to cheer as the EAW World Champion begins to walk out. As Myles steps out to the stage he and Brian immediately have their eyes on one another, knowing all that they have done to each other and that at any moment another brawl between them could take place. Myles looks just as focused as Brian, if not even more so after what was announced prior to this match. This is Myles’ best shot at making it to Pain for Pride as Champion as well, and like Brian, he does not plan on letting this match go to waste.)
Bella Braxton: And his opponent… From Melbourne, Australia… Weighing in at 215 pounds…. HE IS THE EAW WORLD CHAMPION, MYYYYYYYYLLLEESSSSS!!!!!!!
James Peters: And now here is Myles, the EAW Champion who has had such an impressive reign so far! Myles learned something very interesting as we all did moments ago, but I don’t think that’ll have an effect on his performance tonight. Not after he’s been waiting so long to get his hands on Brian Daniels.
Rich Russillo: At one point Brian Daniels legitimately sent Myles out with injury, but these past few weeks Myles has done more than enough to retaliate. In the end it was all leading up to this, and I can’t wait to see how this goes!
Persephone: And I can’t wait to see it end.
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
James Peters: MYLES AND BRIAN TAKE OFF, IMMEDIATELY RUSHING AT EACH OTHER AND UNLOADING WITH LEFTS AND RIGHTS! THIS HAS BEEN BUILDING FOR WEEKS AND TENSIONS HAVE ONLY CONTINUED TO RISE AS THE WEEKS PASSED, AND NOW HERE WE ARE! BRIAN DANIELS THROWS A CLOTHESLINE BUT MYLES DUCKS IT BEFORE ATTEMPTING A SUPERKICK- WHICH BRIAN DANIELS IS ABLE TO AVOID! CAUSTIC ECHO!!!!
Rich Russillo: DOESN’T CONNECT!!!! MYLES AVOIDS THE CAUSTIC ECHO BEFORE SHOVING BRIAN INTO THE ROPES- AND MYLES DOESN’T GIVE BRIAN TIME TO BOUNCE OFF OF THEM, IMMEDIATELY CHARGING AT BRIAN AND DELIVERING A JUMPING KNEE STRIKE!!
Persephone: NOW PIN HIM! PIN HIM! PIN- What is he doing?
James Peters: BRIAN DANIELS WAS JUST ABOUT TO DROP DOWN ONTO THE MAT, BUT MYLES GRABBED HIM BEFORE LIFTING HIM UP INTO A POWERBOMB POSITION!!! Myles now turning towards the center of the ring- BUT BRIAN DANIELS HAS THE WHEREWITHAL TO BEGIN PUNCHING AWAY AT MYLES, ALREADY LOOKING TO ESCAPE THE POWERBOMB!! MYLES ISN’T FATIGUED ENOUGH TO LET GO OF BRIAN! MYLES LOOKING TO HIT SUCH A MAJOR MOVE SO EARLY ON IN THE MATCH, AS HE LOOKS TO DELIVER THE POWERBOMB-
Rich Russillo: HURRICANRANA BY BRIAN DANIELS!! Myles stumbles up to his feet and into the corner, AND NOW BRIAN DANIELS CHARGES IN BEFORE DELIVERING A RUNNING ELBOW SMASH!!! BRIAN DANIELS RUNS TO THE OPPOSITE CORNER BEFORE CHARGING AT MYLES, AND NOW HE DELIVERS A DROPKICK IN THE CORNER! BRIAN DANIELS QUICKLY GETS BACK UP TO HIS FEET, AND NOW HE GRABS MYLES BEFORE SENDING HIM-
Persephone: Actually, Myles was able to turn it around and send Brian into the corner instead, and hopefully Brian runs head first into the turnbuckles and breaks his neck!
James Peters: IT LOOKS LIKE THAT’S NOT GONNA HAPPEN, BECAUSE BRIAN DANIELS JUST RAN UP THE TURNBUCKLES AS MYLES RAN INTO THE CORNER, BACKFLIPPING OVER MYLES BEFORE RUNNING THE ROPES-
Rich Russillo: RIGHT INTO A POP UP SAMOAN DROP BY MYLES!!! MYLES WITH THE SAMOAN DROP TO CUT BRIAN’S MOMENTUM SHORT, BUT MYLES DOESN’T EVEN GO FOR THE COVER YET AS HE ALLOWS BRIAN TO PULL HIMSELF UP USING THE ROPES! It’s always been well known that Myles loves competition, and I think that side of Myles is showing himself here as he doesn’t even bother pinning Brian! That, or he figured it’d be a waste of time this early on! Either way, it looks like Myles still has Brian right where he wants him!
James Peters: MYLES CHARGES IN, AND HE SENDS BRIAN OVER THE TOP ROPE WITH A CLOTHESLINE!!! Had this been the Grand Rampage match Myles would have won the match just like that, but instead he has a lot more work to be done, and I think he is perfectly fine with that! Brian Daniels is making it back up to his feet, AND NOW MYLES BEGINS RUNNING THE ROPES, AND IT LOOKS LIKE HE MIGHT BE GOING FOR A-
Rich Russillo: HE’S NOT GOING FOR ANYTHING!!! BRIAN DANIELS JUST SLID INTO THE RING AND PULLED MYLES OUT BY HIS LEGS BEFORE MYLES COULD EVEN THINK OF DIVING!!! BRIAN NOW SENDING MYLES INTO THE BARRICADE BEFORE RUNNING BACK IN, HITTING THE EAW CHAMPION WITH A EUROPEAN UPPERCUT!!!
Persephone: YES, THEY’RE OUT OF THE RING!! NOW COUNT!!! MYLES’ GROSS EX-PARTNER AND STUPID GIRLFRIEND ALREADY WASTED EVERYONE’S TIME AND GOT THEMSELVES COUNTED OUT LAST NIGHT, JUST GET TO THE POINT THIS TIME!!!
James Peters: The referee has only reached a count of one, which is exactly why Brian Daniels is taking his time here! Brian Daniels now pulling Myles into a front facelock- AND I THINK BRIAN WAS PLANNING A SUPLEX BUT MYLES JUST PUNCHED HIM IN THE STOMACH!! MYLES JUST PUNCHED BRIAN, CLEARLY TRYING TO ESCAPE HIS GRASP- BUT BRIAN TAKES IT, PULLING MYLES UP ANYWAY FOR THE SUPLEX!!!
Rich Russillo: AND IT DOESN’T CONNECT, AS MYLES WAS ABLE TO PULL HIMSELF BACK DOWN TO HIS FEET BEFORE SCOOPING BRIAN UP IN A FIREMAN’S CARRY!!! MYLES NOW RUSHING TO THE RINGPOST, AND HE SLAMS THE SIDE OF BRIAN’S HEAD INTO THE RINGPOST!!! THIS HAS BEEN A VERY VIOLENT START TO THE MATCH, BUT AT THIS POINT WE SHOULDN’T HAVE EXPECTED ANYTHING LESS! These two are fighting at a hundred miles per hour, all for that EAW Championship!
Persephone: That referee should’ve counted them out by now. Can we get that idiot fired or something?
James Peters: No.. You just have a horrible sense of time. The referee is counting at the same pace all referee’s do, and right now they’re only at five. Nonetheless, Myles rolls Brian Daniels back into the ring before heading up to the top rope. Brian Daniels is slowly making it back up to his feet, and it looks like Myles is about to take the opportunity to deliver a big move! MYLES DIVES OFF THE TOP ROPE WITH A-
Rich Russillo: DROPKICK BY BRIAN DANIELS!!!! BRIAN DANIELS JUST CAUGHT MYLES WITH A DROPKICK IN MIDAIR, AND NOW BRIAN IS TRYING TO PULL MYLES DOWN FOR THE FOURTH SEAL!!! BRIAN HAS MYLES BY THE ARM AND IS TRYING TO DRAG HIM TO THE MAT, BUT MYLES IS ABLE TO TWIST AND GRAB ONTO THE ROPES WITH HIS FREE HAND, FORCING BRIAN DANIELS TO LET GO AS MYLES DROPS TO A KNEE AFTER THE DROPKICK! Unfortunately that didn’t do a lot for Myles in terms of recovery time, AS BRIAN DANIELS QUICKLY RUNS BACK IN AND LOOKS FOR A BOOT TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD-
James Peters: MYLES AVOIDS THE KNEE, AND NOW HE LIFTS BRIAN DANIELS UP INTO A TORTURE RACK!!!! MYLES HAS BRIAN DANIELS IN A TORTURE RACK, BUT I DON’T THINK HE’S CONTENT IN JUST HOLDING BRIAN IN THE SUBMISSION!! NO, HE TWISTS BRIAN AROUND, DROPPING HIM RIGHT IN THE CENTER OF THE RING WITH A HUGE TORTURE RACK BOMB!!!!
Rich Russillo: But wait a second, MYLES ISN’T FINISHED THERE!!! MYLES GRABS BRIAN AND DEADLIFTS HIM UP ONTO HIS SHOULDERS, RIGHT BACK INTO A POWERBOMB POSITION!!! MYLES JUST HIT A HUGE TORTURE RACK BOMB, AND NOW MYLES FOLLOWS IT UP BY SPINNING AND DELIVERING A HUGE SPINNING SIT OUT POWERBOMB!!!!! THAT WAS AN AMAZING VARIATION OF HIS USUAL POWERBOMB COMBINATION, AND THAT RIGHT THERE MIGHT BE ENOUGH TO GET THE JOB DONE!! MYLES HOLDS BRIAN FOR THE FIRST AND POSSIBLY THE FINAL PINFALL OF THE MATCH!!!!
OOOOOONNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTTTWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTTT-
James Peters: BRIAN DANIELS KICKS OUT, KEEPING THIS MATCH ALIVE!!!
Persephone: Of course he does. This is the biggest match he’s had in years. He’s gonna drag it out for as long as possible even if literally nobody is interested in watching this.
James Peters: Luckily, people ARE interested. Thousands of people are interested judging by the reaction Brian’s kickout got, AND NOW MYLES IS LOOKING TO CONTINUE MAKING BRIAN PAY FOR ALL HE’S DONE, AS HE QUICKLY BEGINS PUMMELING HIM WITH FOREARMS AND ELBOWS WHILE BRIAN IS DOWN ON THE MAT! MYLES HAS BEEN WAITING FOR THIS MOMENT FOR SUCH A LONG TIME, AND NOW THAT IT’S HERE MYLES ISN’T LETTING IT GO TO WASTE, GRABBING BRIAN AND TOSSING HIM INTO THE CORNER BEFORE RUNNING IN WITH A KNEE TO THE MIDSECTION!
Rich Russillo: MYLES LIFTS BRIAN UP INTO A FIREMAN’S CARRY BEFORE CLIMBING UP ONTO THE MIDDLE ROPE- BUT NOW BRIAN DANIELS BEGINS ELBOWING AT THE SIDE OF MYLES’ HEAD!!! MYLES CLEARLY HAS SOMETHING IN MIND, BUT BRIAN IS MAKING SURE MYLES CAN’T EXECUTE HIS PLAN BY ELBOWING MYLES UNTIL HE’S FORCED TO FREE HIM- AND IT LOOKS LIKE MYLES ISN’T ABLE TO HANDLE ALL OF THESE ELBOWS! BRIAN DANIELS SLIPS OUT OF MYLES’ GRASP ONTO THE TOP ROPE, AND HE PUSHES MYLES OFF OF THE MIDDLE ROPE!!!
Persephone: YES YES YES, FALL AND BREAK YOUR LEGS OR SOMETHING!! HURT YOURSELF AND GET THE MATCH CALLED OFF, IT’S A WORTHY SACRIFICE! JUST LET ME STOP WATCHING TH-
James Peters: Persephone, he landed on his feet.
Persephone: :francis:
Rich Russillo: HE DOESN’T STAY THERE FOR LONG THOUGH, BECAUSE BRIAN DANIELS JUST DOVE OFF OF THE TOP ROPE AND DELIVERED A DIVING KNEE STRIKE, DROPPING MYLES AS BRIAN ROLLS TO HIS FEET!!! Brian Daniels has taken control over this match, and it looks like that one counter up top helped Brian’s chances massively as Myles is only just now making it back to his feet! Myles gets to a knee, BUT BRIAN DANIELS GRABS MYLES BY BOTH ARMS, AND BEGINS TO REPEATEDLY KICK THE EAW WORLD CHAMPION IN THE FACE!!!!
James Peters: BRIAN KICKING AT MYLES OVER AND OVER, FORCING MYLES ONTO THE MAT AS BRIAN NOW BEGINS DELIVERING THE STOMPS HE’S BEEN KNOWN TO UTILIZE AT THIS POINT!!! THIS IS SOMETHING MYLES HAD TO HAVE KNOWN WAS COMING, BUT THERE WAS JUST NO GOOD WAY FOR HIM TO AVOID IT IN THE SITUATION HE WAS JUST PUT IN! BRIAN CONTINUING TO STOMP OVER AND OVER ON MYLES’ FACE AS HE FOCUSES ON DISMANTLING THE EAW WORLD CHAMPION, AND I THINK THAT IT’S SAFE TO SAY MYLES IS IN A LOT OF TROUBLE-
Rich Russillo: I THINK YOU SPOKE TOO SOON! MYLES WAS ABLE TO GRAB BRIAN’S ARMS AND PULL BRIAN DOWN ONTO THE MAT WITH HIM, ALLOWING MYLES TO TURN HIMSELF OVER BRIAN AND HOLD BRIAN BY ARMS, ONLY IT LOOKS LIKE MYLES ISN’T LOOKING TO REPLICATE THOSE STOMPS!!! INSTEAD MYLES DRAGS BRIAN UP TO HIS KNEES, AND DELIVERS A KAMIGOYE KNEE STRIKE SIMILAR TO WHAT BRIAN USED ON VOLTAGE JUST LAST SUNDAY!!! MYLES HAD SEEN BRIAN USE THOSE STOMPS SO OFTEN THAT HE WAS ABLE TO NOT ONLY COUNTER IT, BUT DO SO IN SUCH A WAY THAT HE COULD POTENTIALLY KNOCK BRIAN OUT COLD!!!
Persephone: Yeah, except Brian wasn’t knocked out by that because Myles sucks. Instead Brian is using the ropes to try and get back up, when what he SHOULD be doing is getting out of the ring, walking back up the ramp, and going back to whatever retirement home he crawled out of!
James Peters: MYLES GRABS BRIAN BY THE ARMS AND BEGINS TO TANGLE THE ROPES AROUND THEM!!! MYLES HAS BRIAN’S ARMS TRAPPED IN THE ROPES, AND NOW WE ALL KNOW WHAT COMES NEXT! BRIAN MIGHT NOT BE LEAVING LIKE PERSEPHONE WANTS, BUT HE MIGHT BE MISSING OUT ON THE EAW CHAMPIONSHIP AS MYLES BEGINS RUNNING THE ROPES!!!
Rich Russillo: RUNNING KNEE BY MYLES, BUT WE ALL KNOW THAT HE NEVER JUST STOPS AT ONE WHEN HE HAS HIS OPPONENT IN A POSITION LIKE THIS!!! MYLES RUNS THE ROPES AGAIN, AND HE DELIVERS A SECOND KNEE STRIKE TO BRIAN DANIELS!!! I think Myles just plans on keeping this up until Brian Daniels is knocked out, and I don’t think Brian has any way to stop that plan from coming to fruition! He’s trying to untangle his arms, but I don’t think he’ll be fast enough to stop Myles after two knee strikes have already connected!
James Peters: MYLES NOW RUNNING THE ROPES ONCE MORE, AND THERE’S A THIRD KNEE STRIKE!!! That one connected right with Brian Daniels’ nose, and I think there’s some blood dripping down it now! I don’t know if that’s what Myles was aiming for or if it was just incidental, but either way it’s not like Myles has any sympathy for Brian after all this time! MYLES GOES TO RUN THE ROPES ONE MORE TIME, AND NOW HE LOOKS FOR A FOURTH-
Rich Russillo: ROUNDHOUSE KICK BY BRIAN DANIELS!!!! BRIAN HAD FINALLY FREED HIS ARMS AND THIS ALLOWED HIM TO HIT MYLES WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK, BUT BOTH COMPETITORS DROP TO THE MAT AFTER THIS!!! THAT ROUNDHOUSE KICK DID THE DAMAGE IT NEEDED TO, BUT YOU CAN’T JUST SHAKE THREE RUNNING KNEES OFF THAT EASILY AND WE’RE SEEING THAT RIGHT NOW AS BRIAN DANIELS IS DOWN ON THE MAT WITH MYLES!!
Persephone: Just saying, that wouldn’t have happened to Rexy. Remember what happened last time Myles faced Rexy in a World Championship match? THAT’S RIGHT, HE LOST!!! HE LOST, AND HE LOST FAIR AND SQUARE UNLIKE THAT STUPID NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPIONSHIP MAT-
James Peters: :whoa: Relax. Anyways, both Brian and Myles are slowly pulling themselves back to their feet, AND BRIAN DANIELS SWINGS AT MYLES, CONNECTING WITH A RIGHT HAND! Myles stumbles from that strike, BUT HE HITS BRIAN WITH ONE OF HIS OWN, AND BRIAN FALLS BACK INTO THE CORNER! Those strikes weren’t anywhere near as fast as they were at the start of the match, not that that’s a surprise after how hard hitting this has been! Myles now running towards the corner, BUT BRIAN GETS THE ELBOW UP, AND NOW HE GRABS MYLES BEFORE SLAMMING HIS FACE INTO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE!
Rich Russillo: Brian Daniels is lifting Myles up onto the top turnbuckle so he faces the crowd, and I don’t really know what it is Brian has planned, but this just can’t be good! Brian Daniels slowly begins to climb up, AND NOW MYLES HITS BRIAN WITH A BACK ELBOW, DOING THE BEST HE CAN TO KNOCK BRIAN OFF OF THE TURNBUCKLES WHILE HE HAS HIS BACK TO HIM! Myles is in a real dangerous spot right now, as while Brian was caught by that back elbow, Brian is once again climbing back up top!
James Peters: BRIAN DANIELS HITS MYLES WITH A FOREARM TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD! NOW HE HITS A SECOND ONE, AND HE KEEPS HITTING THESE STRIKES TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD TO WEAR MYLES DOWN! Brian Daniels now pulling Myles up after making it up top, AND BRIAN DANIELS DELIVERS A BACK SUPERPLEXXXXX!!!!!!!! BRIAN DANIELS WITH A HUGE BACK SUPERPLEX, AND MYLES MIGHT JUST BE DONE!!!! BRIAN DANIELS CRAWLS OVER TOWARDS THE EAW CHAMPION, AND NOW HE PUTS AN ARM OVER HIM!!! ARE WE ABOUT TO HAVE A NEW EAW WORLD CHAMPION!?!?
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHHHH-
Rich Russillo: NOOOO!!! MYLES KEEPS THE MATCH ALIVE ONCE MORE!! SOMEHOW MYLES MANAGED TO KICKOUT JUST BEFORE THREE, AND BRIAN DANIELS CAN’T BELIEVE IT! BRIAN RETURNED TO EAW WITH THIS MATCH IN MIND, HOPING THAT HE’D BE ABLE TO BECOME THE EAW WORLD CHAMPION, WELL THAT WAS HIS BEST CHANCE TO SO FAR AND MYLES JUST KICKED OUT! Somehow it’s going to take even more than that to get the job done, and Brian Daniels can’t believe it! He can’t believe that this match is still going after that back superplex!
Persephone: Me neither. I’ll never understand people that’d rather kill themselves than lose a match, especially when the match itself isn’t even good.
James Peters: Brian Daniels is slowly pulling Myles back up before pushing him into the corner, AND NOW BRIAN BEGINS TO REPEATEDLY KICK AT MYLES, FORCING MYLES INTO A SEATED POSITION AS BRIAN CONTINUES TO KICK AND STOMP AWAY AT HIM! THE REFEREE IS ABOUT TO START COUNTING BUT BRIAN DOESN’T EVEN GIVE HIM THE CHANCE, INSTEAD RUNNING THE ROPES AND HITTING MYLES WITH A BOOT TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD!! BRIAN DANIELS IS IN FIRM CONTROL OF THIS ONE RIGHT NOW, AND NOW HE GRABS MYLES BEFORE SENDING HIM INTO THE ROPES!!
Rich Russillo: MYLES GRABS ONTO THE ROPES TO STOP HIMSELF FROM BOUNCING OFF THOUGH! BRIAN DANIELS NOW BEING FORCED TO RUN TOWARDS MYLES-
James Peters: VICTORIA!!!!!!!!! MYLES JUST HIT BRIAN WITH THE POP UP KNEE STRIKE!!!!!
Rich Russillo: HE DID, BUT THAT KNEE JUST SENT BRIAN STUMBLING TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE RING!! MYLES DROPPED TO THE MAT AFTER ALL THE DAMAGE HE RECEIVED MOMENTS AGO, AND THAT KNEE JUST SENT BRIAN RIGHT OUT OF MYLES’ REACH!!! BOTH MEN ARE DOWN ON THE MAT, AND NOW MYLES IS FORCED TO START CRAWLING TOWARDS BRIAN DANIELS!!
Persephone: So stupid. Why couldn’t that have been the end of it? WE DON’T NEED BRIAN DANIELS AND WE DON’T NEED MYLES! Can we please just have another double countout or something???
James Peters: Myles has made it towards Brian, but Brian Daniels rolls right under the bottom rope and out of the ring so Myles can’t pin him! Brian falling towards the opposite side of the ring was entirely luck, but Brian did that one on purpose, making sure that Myles couldn’t pin him as Brian might not have been able to kick out!
Rich Russillo: Myles is annoyed, and now he rolls out of the ring, grabbing Brian Daniels before slamming his face onto the ring apron! Brian Daniels drops down onto the ground, and after that knee I don’t think Brian has anything left to give! This is all Myles now, and I truly believe he can end this match whenever he wants! Myles is dragging Brian Daniels towards the steel steps, and we all know that these two have some history with those steps, as one of their very first brawls ended with Myles being sent into those steel steps!
Persephone: Surely we’ve reached a ten count by now, right?
James Peters: No, the count just started.
Persephone: :wtf: Why does it take this long??? It’s only a ten count!
James Peters: Myles pulls Brian Daniels up from behind, AND NOW HE GOES FOR A GERMAN SUPLEX INTO THE STEEL STEPS!!!
Rich Russillo: NO!! BRIAN DANIELS WITH A BACK ELBOW TO MYLES, SAVING HIM FROM THE STEEL STEPS!!! BRIAN DANIELS KICKS MYLES IN THE MIDSECTION NOW, AND HE USES ALL THE STRENGTH HE HAS LEFT TO SEND MYLES ROLLING BACK INTO THE RING-
James Peters: AND MYLES QUICKLY GETS BACK UP AND BEGINS RUNNING THE ROPES, BEFORE JUMPING OVER THE TOP ROPE AND TAKING BRIAN DANIELS OUT WITH A TOPE CON HILO!!!!!! MYLES JUST LAID BRIAN DANIELS OUT WITH THE TOPE CON HILO LIKE HE ATTEMPTED TO EARLIER IN THE MATCH, AND NOW MYLES SENDS BRIAN DANIELS BACK INTO THE RING, KNOWING THAT BRIAN’S TIME IN THIS MATCH HAS TO BE UP!!! BRIAN DANIELS HAS ALREADY BEEN HIT WITH VICTORIA A LITTLE WHILE AGO, ONE MORE MOVE LIKE THAT AND MYLES IS RETAINING THE EAW WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP!!
Rich Russillo: Myles gets up onto the ring apron, and now he’s calling for Brian to get back to his feet!
Persephone: If I pull Myles off of the ring apron, the match would end in a DQ, right?
James Peters: What?
Persephone: I said, if I pull Myles off of the ring apron-
Rich Russillo: BRIAN DANIELS HAS MADE IT BACK UP TO HIS FEET, AND NOW MYLES JUMPS ONTO THE TOP ROPE BEFORE LOOKING FOR A SPRINGBOARD KNEE STRIKE-
James Peters: WHICH BRIAN DANIELS AVOIDS!! MYLES ROLLS BACK TO HIS FEET BEFORE CHARGING AT BRIAN, BUT BRIAN POPS MYLES UP!
Rich Russillo: MYLES MANAGED TO JUMP OVER BRIAN THOUGH, AND NOW MYLES GOES FOR A-
James Peters: CAUSTIC ECHO!!!!! THE SPINNING ROUNDHOUSE KICK CONNECTS, AND MYLES DROPS TO THE MAT!!! WE’VE SEEN WHAT HAPPENED IN THE PAST WHEN BRIAN WAS ABLE TO CONNECT WITH THIS MOVE! WE’VE SEEN BRIAN LAY MYLES OUT MULTIPLE TIMES LEADING UP TO THIS MATCH, AND NOW BRIAN DANIELS MIGHT HAVE JUST ENDED MYLES’ REIGN AS THE EAW WORLD CHAMPION!!! BRIAN DANIELS WITH THE COVER, IS THIS THE LAST WE’LL BE SEEING OF MYLES AS EAW WORLD CHAMPION!?!?
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
…
….
…..
……
Rich Russillo: MYLES JUST GOT THE SHOULDER UP!!!! MYLES JUST SURVIVED GETTING HIT WITH THE CAUSTIC ECHO!!! SOMEHOW MYLES WAS ONCE AGAIN ABLE TO SAVE HIS CHANCES OF LEAVING GRAND RAMPAGE AS THE EAW WORLD CHAMPION, AND ONCE AGAIN BRIAN DANIELS JUST CAN’T BELIEVE WHAT HE’S SEEING!!! BRIAN DANIELS LOOKED SO SURE THAT THIS WAS THE END OF THE MATCH, AND YET SOMEHOW MYLES WAS ABLE TO SURVIVE ONE OF HIS BEST MOVES, THE SAME MOVE THAT LED TO MYLES GETTING INJURED IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!
Persephone: It doesn’t make any sense. I shouldn’t have to suffer through this. Nobody should. I miss when World title matches had Rexy in them. Not these two.
James Peters: Brian Daniels is slowly getting back to his feet, and I don’t think it takes a genius to tell you that he’s pissed after Myles managed to survive one of his best shots! Brian Daniels slowly pulls Myles up, AND BRIAN KNEES MYLES IN THE MIDSECTION BEFORE THROWING HIM SHOULDER FIRST INTO THE RING POST! BRIAN DANIELS RUNS INTO THE OPPOSITE CORNER AS MYLES SLOWLY PULLS HIMSELF OUT OF THE CORNER, AND AS SOON AS MYLES TURNS AROUND HE’S MET WITH A RUNNING EUROPEAN UPPERCUT! BRIAN NOW CLIMBING UP TO THE MIDDLE TURNBUCKLE WITH MYLES STILL IN THE CORNER, AND BRIAN BEGINS TO PUNCH AWAY AT MYLES’ HEAD!
Crowd: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! SIX! SEVEN! EIGHT! NINE! TE-
Rich Russillo: MYLES PUSHES BRIAN DANIELS AWAY!!! MYLES MANAGES TO PUSH BRIAN DANIELS AWAY, AND NOW-
James Peters: BRIAN GOES FOR VALAR MORGHULIS!!! THE SINGLE LEG HIGH KNEE-
Rich Russillo: DOES NOT CONNECT!!! MYLES SIDE STEPPED IT AT THE LAST SECOND, AND NOW MYLES GRABS BRIAN DANIELS BEFORE GOING FOR DE FACTO!!!!
James Peters: IT DOESN’T CONNECT, BRIAN DANIELS SLID DOWN MYLES’ BACK AND PULLED HIM INTO A SUNSET FLIP PIN!!!! NO WAY, BRIAN SAW THE DE FACTO COMING UNLIKE LAST WEEK, AND NOW HE’S ABOUT TO STEAL THE EAW CHAMPIONSHIP!!!
OOOOONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTHRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-
Rich Russillo: NO! MYLES KICKS OUT, AND HE IMMEDIATELY GETS BACK UP BEFORE RUNNING AT BRIAN DANIELS, DELIVERING A RUNNING METEORA BEFORE HOOKING THE LEGS FOR A COVER OF HIS OWN!!!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
TTTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
TTTTTTTTHHHHHHRRREEEEEEEE-
Persephone: And of course, there’s another kickout 🙄. I don’t know what part they’re not getting. We don’t want to watch them wrestle.
James Peters: No, I’m pretty sure you’re the only one not enjoying this.
Persephone: Shut up, my opinion is the only one that matters anyway.
James Peters: Both men are slowly crawling towards opposite corners, using the turnbuckles to make it back up to their feet! MYLES BEGINS TO CHARGE AT BRIAN DANIELS, BUT BRIAN GETS THE BOOT UP! BRIAN DANIELS NOW SWINGING AT MYLES, BUT MYLES DUCKS BEFORE DELIVERING AN ENZUIGIRI, AND NOW BRIAN DANIELS IS ON SPAGHETTI LEGS! MYLES NOW LOOKING TO LIFT BRIAN UP FOR A SUPLEX, BUT BRIAN DELIVERS A KNEE TO THE TOP OF MYLES’ HEAD, ALLOWING BRIAN TO MAKE IT BACK DOWN TO HIS FEET!
Rich Russillo: BRIAN DANIELS GOES FOR A SECOND CAUSTIC ECHO!!!
James Peters: BUT IT DOES NOT CONNECT!!!!
Rich Russillo: MYLES AVOIDS THE CAUSTIC ECHO, AND NOW HE GOES AND ATTEMPTS TO DELIVER A BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE, BUT BRIAN DANIELS AVOIDS IT BEFORE GRABBING MYLES FROM BEHIND!!! BRIAN DANIELS LOOKS FOR A GERMAN SUPLEX, BUT MYLES IS ABLE TO FLIP OUT OF IT AND LAND ON HIS FEET, THIS LATE INTO THE MATCH! It’s super impressive what these two are doing so late into this, AND NOW MYLES GRABS BRIAN BY THE ARM BEFORE LOOKING FOR A SHORT ARM CLOTHESLINE!
Persephone: But Myles can’t connect with one of his moves, as usual. Instead Brian turned it around before hitting Myles with an elbow, and for some reason Brian is running to the turnbuckles.
James Peters: BRIAN DANIELS IS CLIMBING UP TOP LOOKING FOR SOMETHING HE DOESN’T DO VERY OFTEN, AND NOW MYLES CHARGES IN- BUT HE IS MET WITH A BOOT TO THE FACE, CAUSING MYLES TO STUMBLE BACK! BRIAN DANIELS IS TAKING A RISK HERE, KNOWING THAT IF IT WORKS IT COULD WIN HIM THE MATCH!! BRIAN DANIELS NOW DIVING OFF THE TOP ROPE!!!!
Rich Russillo: AND MYLES JUST CAUGHT BRIAN ON HIS SHOULDERS!!!! MYLES IS HOLDING BRIAN IN A POWERBOMB POSITION, AND BRIAN DANIELS IS TRYING TO FIGHT OUT OF IT- BUT MYLES DOESN’T POWERBOMB HIM! INSTEAD HE POPS BRIAN UP IN THE AIR!!!!
James Peters: VICTORIA!!!! VICTORIA CONNECTS AS BRIAN DANIELS FALLS INTO THE ROPES, BOUNCING OFF OF THEM!!!
Rich Russillo: MYLES RUNS IN AND DELIVERS A BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE, AND NOW HE PUTS BRIAN IN A PUMPHANDLE POSITION BEFORE LIFTING HIM UP, AND DROPPING BRIAN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING WITH DE FACTO!!!!! WHAT AN AMAZING COMBINATION BY MYLES AS HE HITS VICTORIA AND DE FACTO NEARLY BACK TO BACK, AND NOW THERE’S THE COVER AS MYLES LOOKS TO MEET BOTH MINERVA AND DRAKE KING AT PAIN FOR PRIDE!!!!
OOOOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHHHRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Bella Braxton: Here is your winner….. AANNDD SSTTIILLLLLLL YOUR EAW WORLD CHAMPION…. MMMYYYYYYYYYYLLLLLEESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!
James Peters: MYLES DEFEATS BRIAN DANIELS!!!!! MYLES JUST DEFEATED BRIAN DANIELS AT GRAND RAMPAGE, AND NOW AT PAIN FOR PRIDE HE’LL BE FACING HIS FORMER NEW EDEN PARTNERS!!!!
Rich Russillo: In the end it looks like Brian Daniels couldn’t get that World Championship after all, as Brian heavily underestimated Myles during the entire build to this match! He said that Myles wasn’t ready, that Myles wasn’t a good Champion, and in the end I think Myles just proved a lot of people wrong!
James Peters: Myles has a lot to be proud of tonight, even if he already has a Pain for Pride match set! He just picked up a huge victory over Brian Daniels, and that’s just incredible!
Persephone: Rex would’ve won better, so I don’t really care. At least the match is over.
Rich Russillo: Congratulations Myles! Now, Pain for Pride awaits!
(‘Enemy Strike’ begins to play once again, and despite the hometown hero losing the match, the crowd cheers as Myles slowly makes it back up to his feet, clearly exhausted after such a grueling match. The referee hands Myles his EAW Championship, and after looking down at Brian one more time, Myles raises his Championship with his free hand as the referee raises his other arm. As Myles holds up his Championship, Grand Rampage fades away from ringside.)
( We’re in the midst of a spellbinding show here in the sold-out Yankee Stadium. Heading backstage we are greeted with the sight of Michael Belfort, who is standing alongside the former three-time Tag Team Champions, The High Rollerz! The appearance of Jack Ripley and David Davidson gets a mixed, albeit fairly thunderous reaction from those packed inside the stadium. As we know, since the latter of those names returned to the promotion, The High Rollerz have been putting their time-and-energy into adding another reign to their legacies and a further notch on their belts. They’ll get that opportunity in a matter of weeks, but tonight they’ll have to make do with watching their opposition compete! Michael Belfort begins to speak. )
Michael Belfort: Jack, David, a pleasure as always. How are the two of you finding Grand Rampage so far and are you looking forward to seeing what unfolds throughout the rest of tonight’s high-octane showing?
David Davidson: It’s been alright, fifty-fifty, nothing too outstanding.
Jack Ripley: Comme ci, comme ça as the French would say.
David Davidson: We’re excited to see the rest of tonight’s action unfold, sure.
Jack Ripley: But when you’ve been around as long as we’ve been around, it’s very rare that something will occur leaving the two of us surprised.
Michael Belfort: Very good gentlemen, how are preparations going when it comes to your match at the Battle of Egypt? You’ve been able to pick up a couple of establishing wins since re-forming and this title shot is more than deserved. Are you going to win?
Jack Ripley: Are we going to win? Come on Michael, you know it’s never that easy.
David Davidson: A million-and-one things can happen between now and then. But we’re putting the work in and we’re confident of having a successful outing, sure.
Jack Ripley: I actually wish we could go out there tonight and win those belts. The anticipation is building in my stomach and I just can’t wait for The High Rollers to become four-time champions.
David Davison: But we hold our hands up, we get it. This is a big, big promotion with so many opportunities and not everyone is focused on one thing at one time, our opponents for better or for worse are pursuing other endeavors tonight. We can just sit back and watch on.
Michael Belfort: That’s surely got to play into your hands, though? The likes of Jake Smith and Chris Elite are amazing competitors, sure. But if they’ve got their heads looking in three directions it’ll be easier to get an advantage, right? The same with Solomon and Kirk. If they’re preparing for solo adventures and tag team adventures, is it easier for you guys to stick to your lane and put in the work necessary to win at Battle of Egypt?
David Davidson: I guess you could say that, yeah. We’re only focused on those Tag Team Championships right now, while Solomon, Kirk, Jake and Chris are all doing this-and-that. In theory it should make us the favourties, but this is EAW, right? You can’t state that out loud without it coming back to bite you in the ass.
Jack Ripley: We understand that The Haircare Kings are big commodities. And when it comes to Solomon Stane and Kirk Redwood, we know the task we’re up against. But it’s a weakness for them while it’s a strength for us. They’ll be working over-time to try and keep up with all of these side projects and other rivalries. Going from one division to another. David and I? Nothing is on our minds other than walking out of Egypt with the Tag Team Championships around our waists.
David Davidson: Jake Smith for example. He’s the Tag Team Champion, his focus should be on keeping those belts. But he’s been pursuing his singles dreams, he’s been focusing on the Grand Rampage. He even called out Banks for crying out loud. I mean not to sound egotistical when I say this, but Jack and I? We’re former champions for a reason, not just one reign, not even two but three prior reigns in the division he’s the supposed top dog of. And he’s calling out Banks? To what end? He’s going to lose to the High Rollerz and then lose to Banks, two-in-one-night and what’ll he have to show for his little call-out? Lost championships and a long stay in the hospital.
Michael Belfort: But as you said, Jake’s an accomplished wrestler. Do you really not think he’ll be able to handle two matches in one night at this point in his storied career?
Jack Ripley: Woah, Michael. We’re not saying Jake Smith can’t go more than once in the same night. Be that in the ring or elsewhere. What we’re saying is, going against someone like Banks and someone like The High Rollerz, in the same night? For a guy who’s never won a World Championship it seems like a tall task. You’re stacking the odds up and then hitting the clone button. It’s building the wall oh-so high that he’ll struggle to climb over it.
David Davidson: That’s how life is in this company these days, though. I mean look at the Tag Team division for example. Or I guess more specifically, what the men and women in this division are actually focused on. Queen’s Court for example. Yeah, they won last night. But in a couple of weeks time, Madison and Amber are competing against each other, as well as Astraea and Sheridan, Sienna and Kassidy. So it’s clear where their focuses are. They’ll be competing for the chance to main event Pain for Pride. They’ll be competing for the chance to challenge for the Women’s Championship. It’s no easy feat.
Jack Ripley: Speaking of Sienna and Kassidy, The Jaded Hearts, right? They’re the boogeyman hiding in the shadows, lethal combatants when together. They seem to be speaking up and taking pot shots about David and I. They seem to make these comments, but they’re competing in that ladder match too, they’re all bark and no bite. When David and I compete? There aren’t ulterior motives, we’re not side-eyeing each other, looking to screw the other. The High Rollerz are a true brotherhood, Michael. It’s not a case of aligning with one-another until a stab falls from our hands and slips into the other’s back.
Michael Belfort: So no solo adventures in the future for either of you?
David Davidson: Absolutely not.
Jack Ripley: Ditto.
David Davidson: I don’t see Jack as an added weight or a burden, I hope the same applies if you’d ask him that question. When it comes to me? Us? The High Rollerz? It’s like we’ve said a couple of times now. Tag Team Championships. That’s where our minds are at. Not calling out people for dream matches, not putting our apparent priorities aside to compete in ladder matches for an entirely different championship. Look at Jack for example, yeah? He’s been there and he’s done that. His work as a singles star is a testament to what names like The High Rollerz can do if they wanted to be like the rest of the crowd.
Jack Ripley: If we wanted our fingers in all the pies. But we don’t. Our goal is to show that the Tag Team Championships aren’t a side-piece, but the main attraction. Tag team wrestling used to fucking mean something in this business. You didn’t just hold the belt while being thrown out of the Grand Rampage and made to lick Banks’ boots. They’re the centerpiece. Now David and I in the past have been a little salty about it. About there being these awards and these opinions that the two of us aren’t the best tag team to ever grace this promotion.
David Davidson: But going four-time? Going into this division, focusing on this division and taking it to new heights? It’s not just validation for us, nor is it another accolade. We genuinely care about tag team wrestling when it’s oh-so clear that nobody else does. So when we walk out of Battle of Egypt in a few weeks time holding those belts? Don’t be shocked or surprised.
Jack Ripley: The High Rollerz have always been the greatest tag team in this promotion, accolades and awards to back that up or not, we’re going to prove it when Jake, Chris, Solomon and Kirk are staring at the lights, knackered, unsure of what’s happened, while David and I climb onto the turnbuckles and raise those championships sky high.
( Jack and David nod to Michael before walking off. An impassioned interview from the former three-time Tag Team Champions, who’ll be looking to claim the belts in a highly-anticipated match that’ll take place in a few, short weeks from now. Michael Belfort quickly debriefs the interview before signaling us elsewhere, that is when cameras transition out of the backstage area and the mesmerizing Grand Rampage FPV continues! )
(The camera fades in to Bella Braxton in the ring awaiting the next match.)
Bella Braxton: The following tag team contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!
( ‘The Day’ by Porno Graffitti hits to boos from the crowd as Miku Sakai and Hikari Kanno make their way out to the stage. They both look confident as always as they walk down the ramp.)
Bella Braxton: Introducing first! From Japan weighing in at a combined weight of 231 pounds they are the tag team of Miku Sakai and Hikari Kanno… IDOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL-GUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNNN!!!
(IDOL-GUN makes their way to the ring mocking the simps as they try to leap the barricade to get at them.)
Persephone: It’s sad to see people simp like this after a wrestler. I would never be caught dead doing something that embarrassing.
James Peters: Well this week Hikari Kanno did all of the talking for her team as Miku Sakai is here to back her up in the ring. Miku is clearly all about that action and Hikari has that beef and history with Ms. Extreme so you know she all about that action too.
Rich Russillo: Hikari claims to be completely uninterested in Bethany and maybe it is simply that IDOL-GUN does not give a fuck about their opponents really. This match is an obvious W for them and they see it as an easy night. I’m not so sure it will turn out that way however, they have some really impressive competition.
Persephone: I hope it does turn out that way. Just have anyone win the match in five minutes or less and we can all go home happy.
Rich Russillo: There are more matches after this boo.
Persephone: :noah:
( “Throne” — Saint Mesa hits to cheers from the crowd as Ms. Extreme walks out, keeping her eyes focused on the team that have already walked out.)
Bella Braxton: And their opponents first from Calabasas, California weighing in at 140 pounds she is “The Baddest Bitch on the Block” MSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. EXTREMEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
(Ms. Extreme begins to make her way to the ring without fear entering the ring not even waiting for her partner as IDOL-GUN tries to intimidate her by both entering the ring but she won’t back down.)
( “Somebody Get Me A Doctor” by Van Halen hits as the crowd continues to cheer.)
Bella Braxton: And her tag team partner currently residing in Boca Raton, Florida weighing in at 125 pounds she is DOCTORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR BETHANYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY BLUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
(Dr. Bethany Blue makes her way directly to the ring no nonsense as she steps next to Camille yelling at IDOL-GUN to back off and nearly starting the fight before the bell even rings.)
Rich Russillo: Damn this match is about to explode. You know the beef between them is real. They hate each other and plan to get all murderous up in here.
Persephone: Good good I have some knives I could give them to make this go faster.
James Peters: Well Bethany was the most outspoken of everyone in this match as we have come to expect from her. The doctor is in and she is looking to shut up Miku and Hikari after Hikari postured this week like she didn’t give a fuck about Bethany. But that could easily just be mindgames and we will find out if IDOL-GUN truly is underestimating their opponents or not.
(DING! DING! DING!)
James Peters: We are underway as this big tag team match is starting off with Ms. Extreme taking on Hikari Kanno and the crowd is on the edge of their seats in anticipation. Both women go into the middle of the ring to lock up… AND MS. EXTREME PUSHES HIKARI AWAY BEFORE SWINGING AT HER, BUT HIKARI DUCKS DOWN BEFORE SENDING MS. EXTREME INTO THE CORNER!
Rich Russillo: HIKARI KANNO BEGINS TO PUNCH AT MS. EXTREME, BUT CAMILLE IS ABLE TO COUNTER BEFORE GRABBING HIKARI AND PUTTING HER INTO THE CORNER! NOW IT’S MS. EXTREME ON THE OFFENSIVE AS SHE BEGINS STOMPING AT HIKARI!
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! THAT’S ENOUGH!
James Peters: Ms. Extreme eventually relents before grabbing the arm of Hikari Kanno… No! The reversal as Hikari instead whips Extreme around. Extreme charges into the opposite corner as Hikari comes running in with a vicious Clothesline!
Persephone: And of course, Ms. Extreme just had to make sure she hit a clothesline of her own so both of them drop to the mat at the same time, and neither of them can even go for a pin. So stupid.
Rich Russillo: Well both Elitists are quickly stumbling back up to their feet, and HIKARI KANNO MAKES THE TAG TO MIKU SAKAI! Ms. Extreme now doing the same, as she tags in Dr. Bethany Blue!
James Peters: Dr. Bethany Blue and Miku Sakai are in now, AND BOTH WOMEN GO RIGHT AT IT AS BOTH WOMEN BEGIN ATTACKING ONE ANOTHER! MIKU SAKAI LOOKS FOR THE NIGHT NIGHT SUPER EARLY ON, BUT DR. BETHANY BLUE PUSHES MIKU AWAY!!! Dr. Bethany Blue now with a kick to the midsection, AND NOW DR. BLUE LIFTS HIKARI FOR A SUPLEX, BUT MIKU SLIPS OUT BEHIND DR. BLUE-
(Miku Sakai seems to land awkwardly as she flinches, and stumbles to the ropes holding her left leg.)
Rich Russillo: :lupe: Uh oh. Miku Sakai seemed to have a bit of a bad landing, and we already know that that’s the same leg that was targeted and nearly injured a few months ago! Dr. Bethany Blue now going for the attack- BUT MIKU LANDS A SIDE ELBOW, NOT EASILY ALLOWING DR. BLUE TO CAPITALIZE! MIKU SAKAI NOW LOOKING TO THROW A RIGHT HAND- BUT DR. BETHANY BLUE DUCKS IT BEFORE KICKING MIKU’S BAD LEG OUT FROM UNDER HER!
James Peters: Dr. Bethany Blue now grabbing Miku Sakai before irish whipping her into the ropes, BUT HIKARI KANNO TAGS HERSELF IN AS MIKU SAKAI ROLLS OUT! HIKARI KANNO IN THE RING NOW, AND SHE DELIVERS A RUNNING BIG BOOT! Dr. Bethany Blue is still standing, AND NOW HIKARI KICKS HER IN THE MIDSECTION BEFORE DROPPING HER WITH A DROPKICK TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD! HIKARI WITH A COVER!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!!
TTTTTWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Persephone: And of course there’s a kickout.
James Peters: Hikari Kanno pulling Dr. Bethany Blue back up, clearly not too happy about that kickout, AND NOW HIKARI KANNO LOOKS TO PUT THIS ONE AWAY WITH ALLELUIA-
Rich Russillo: BUT DR. BETHANY BLUE MANAGES TO SLIP BEHIND AND SHOVE HIKARI KANNO INTO HER TEAM’S CORNER! DR. BETHANY BLUE QUICKLY RUNS IN AND DELIVERS A FOREARM SMASH, AND NOW THERE’S THE TAG TO MS. EXTREME WHO GETS IN AND QUICKLY GOES ON THE OFFENSIVE WITH REPEATED PUNCHES TO HIKARI! Ms. Extreme now looking to take Hikari to the ropes with an irish whip!
Persephone: :mjlol: But Hikari turned it around and hit Ms. Extreme with a jumping knee. She was a World Champion and she still doesn’t know how to wrestle?
James Peters: Hikari Kanno now possibly looking to lock in an armbar, BUT MS. EXTREME FINDS THE QUICK COUNTER AS SHE PUNCHES HIKARI IN THE FACE AND GETS BACK UP! MS. EXTREME NOW WITH A KICK TO THE MIDSECTION, AND SHE GOES FOR THE TWIST OF FATE-
Rich Russillo: BUT IT DOESN’T CONNECT!!! HIKARI BACKPEDALED INTO HER CORNER BEFORE TAGGING MIKU IN! MS. EXTREME RUNS IN, AND HIKARI HITS MS. EXTREME WITH AN ELBOW, ALLOWING MIKU TO GRAB HER AND PULL CAMILLE THROAT FIRST INTO THE TOP ROPE AS MS. EXTREME STUMBLES AWAY!!
James Peters: Miku Sakai steps in the ring now, AND SHE KICKS MS. EXTREME IN THE MIDSECTION! MIKU SAKAI NOW RUNNING THE ROPES, AND SHE GOES FOR A SCISSORS KICK-
Rich Russillo: BUT MS. EXTREME AVOIDS IT BEFORE GRABBING MIKU BY THE LEG, AND DROPPING HER WITH A DRAGON SCREW! Ms. Extreme still holding onto that hurt let, AND SHE DROPS AN ELBOW ONTO IT, DOING EVEN MORE DAMAGE TO THAT LEG! Ms. Extreme dragging Miku into her teams corner, and now she tags Dr. Bethany Blue back in!
James Peters: Ms. Extreme holds onto Miku’s leg, ALLOWING DR. BLUE TO KICK AT THE SIDE OF HER KNEE! DR. BETHANY BLUE KNOWS THIS MATCH MIGHT JUST BE OVER, AND NOW SHE WAITS AS MIKU SAKAI GETS TO HER KNEES, BEFORE LOOKING FOR THE CONCUSSION PROTOCOL!!!
Rich Russillo: IT DOESN’T CONNECT!!! MIKU DOESN’T LET IT CONNECT, INSTEAD AVOIDING IT AND HITTING DR. BLUE WITH A ELBOW TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD! Miku Sakai is limping at this point, BUT SHE SEES THAT DR. BLUE HAS FALLEN INTO THE CORNER AFTER THAT ELBOW, AND NOW MIKU DOES HER BEST TO CHARGE IN FOR THE MUSTACHE RIDE-
James Peters: BUT IT DOESN’T CONNECT!!! DR. BETHANY BLUE AVOIDS IT AS MIKU’S HURT LEG STOPPED HER FROM DELIVERING THE MOVE AS FAST AS SHE WAS HOPING TO, AND NOW AS DR. BLUE PULLS HERSELF UP WITH THE ROPES, I THINK SHE HAS MIKU SAKAI RIGHT WHERE SHE WANTS HER!
Rich Russillo: MIKU SAKAI STUMBLES TO HER FEET, AND NOW DR. BETHANY BLUE KICKS AT MIKU’S LEG ONCE MORE BEFORE GRABBING THE ARM AND PULLING HER UP! WHIPLASH!!! WHIPLASH CONNECTS, AND NOW MS. EXTREME RUNS INTO THE RING TO TAKE OUT HIKARI KANNO, STOMPING HIKARI FROM BREAKING THINGS UP AS DR. BETHANY BLUE HOOKS THE HURT LEG!
OOOOOOOOOOONNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
TTTTHHHHHRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Bella Braxton: Here are your winners… MS EXXXTREEMEEEE AND DR. BETHANNNYYYY BLLLUUUUUUEEEEEEEE!!!!!
( “Somebody Get Me A Doctor” by Van Halen hits as Ms. Extreme and Dr. Bethany Blue have their arms raised by the referee in the ring but they immediately drop them looking more disappointed than happy about their victory.)
Rich Russillo: Well that was fast. Not really the ending I was expecting or these fans were expecting.
James Peters: I mean sometimes matches end quickly. Sometimes people have a bad night and Miku Sakai clearly did. She clearly tweaked that knee her opponents’ took advantage and that was all there was to it. It’s unfortunate the match couldn’t go on longer tha-
Persephone: No James. Listen to me for once. You see this is the type of match that I love to see. Five stars. No six. Maybe even seven. All because it ended so quickly. Why don’t all matches end this quickly?
(Persephone is shown standing on top of the announce table giving a standing ovation to the competitors for their performance in this match.)
James Peters: Sit down.
Ms. Extreme: (off-mic) Well that match was a waste of time. Let’s go Bethany.
Dr. Bethany Blue: (off-mic) Nothing left for us here I guess, and here I thought that IDOL-GUN was supposed to be a world class tag team.
(Dr. Bethany Blue and Ms. Extreme leave as a stunned Hikari Kanno is shown checking on the visibly injured Miku Sakai in the ring. Miku slowly begins to recover as she stands up but her leg collapses out from under her and Hikari has to help her stand up.)
James Peters: It seems that Miku Sakai suffered a severe injury in this match and needs medical attention immediately.
(A single tear is shown falling from the eye of Hikari Kanno as she looks at the state of her partner.)
Hikari Kanno: (off-mic) I’m sorry Miku.
Rich Russillo: WHAT THE HELL HIKARI KANNO KICKS THE LEG OUT FROM UNDER MIKU SAKAI!!! HIKARI GRABBING THE HAIR OF MIKU AND DRAGGING HER INTO THE CORNER!!!
Crowd: :lupe:!!!!!!!!!!!!!
James Peters: HIKARI KANNO IS UNHINGED AS SHE REPEATEDLY KNEES MIKU SAKAI IN THE FACE IN THE CORNER!!! HIKARI WITH KNEE AFTER KNEE, AND IT LOOKS LIKE MIKU HAS BEEN RENDERED UNCONSCIOUS BY HIKARI HERE TONIGHT!!! WHY HIKARI WHY?!?!?
Hikari Kanno: (off-mic) I need to do this on my own now. It’s my time.
(Despite being the one responsible for the attack, Hikari Kanno looks distraught, clearly unhappy with her own actions as she begins to leave the ring.)
Persephone: Damn Hikari fucked that bitch up. She really wrecked her!
Rich Russillo: “That bitch” is her best friend and tag team partner! I can’t believe this! What the fuck!!!
(Hikari Kanno is shown leaving to a confused reaction from the crowd as the camera fades into a commercial.)
( The camera cuts to a commercial for Mother’s Day featuring all of the finest milfs of EAW. )
(As the camera transitions to the backstage area, we see Dr. Bethany Blue still in her gold and black wrestling gear from her tag team match earlier, standing with her arms crossed as Caroline is also still in her wrestling attire, holding the back of her neck still pretty down about losing her New Era Classic match earlier in the evening. The Good Doctor seems to be rather quiet, probably due to what happened with her fiance, Adam Lucas the night before and top of that earlier with Caroline’s match, the week leading to Grand Rampage didn’t help either…
Caroline: Awww… shucks! I was so prepared to, we did so much training and I really thought I had him, I could have gone to Pain for Pride in a singles match as a rookie! But gee… it just wasn;t meant to be, I just need to train harder, maybe I should watch more episodes of Cobra Kai too, that will help!
(Bethany doesn’t say anything, her baby brown eyes slowly turn the way of Caroline, as she watches her protege trying to stay a little upbeat even after a loss which is a good quality to have as a wrestler…)
Caroline: We will get em’ next time right?
(The Good Doctor just continues glaring at her with a stone cold face…)
Caroline: BUT…. the silver lining is my FAVORITE Doctor WON her match tonight! You were sooooo awesome out there and like kicking major booties, teaming up with Ms. Extreme, which was pretty cool as well, I love it! You are soooo talented and I am happy I have you in my corner! We should really watch some tape of the matches again, pinpoint where I went wrong and you could so help me, because like I look at what you did and it was so fluid, I mean it was totally awesome to see how you handled IDOL-GUN and I knew you were not ever going to let those two meanies get away with what they did to you, I just wish that I would have been in your corner to see it. Maybe that is it! Maybe I need to start learning that I can’t always have you in my corner! Probably threw me off, like big time and….
Dr. Bethany Blue: Stop.
(Caroline stops in her tracks, really surprised and can see that Bethany is not amused…)
Dr. Bethany Blue: First of all, it was Harley Lewis. I’m sorry Caroline but I taught you better than this. Listen to me closely, you were being mentored by a future Universal Women’s Champion, okay? You were being ushered in by Dr. Bethany Blue who took the time out of her busy life to help you. I’m a Doctor in case you didn’t know that runs her own practice, right?
(Caroline humbly nods…)
Caroline: Yes ma’am.
Dr. Bethany Blue: Don’t call me ma’am, it makes me sound old. Call me Doctor. Anyway, the point to all of this is I have had a lot going on in my life from being a top Main Event wrestler on Dynasty which I have worked very hard for. I still have a wedding to plan which I really should just hire a planner for. I still don’t know what my road to Pain for Pride is because it should have been the Universal Women’s Championship! I took what little time I had to mentor you, I skipped 18 holes of golf, I sacrificed luncheons and conventions with other Doctor’s, I had to cancel out on some comic conventions and I get $45 dollars a picture and autograph, package deal I do it for $80, I know it’s cheap but talk about inflation! I have given up days at the spa and I really need a mani/pedi right now, but I trained with you instead to get you ready for the finals and have your Pain for Pride moment and guess what?
Caroline: I totally failed.
Dr. Bethany Blue: Not only did you fail yourself, you failed me. Honestly Caroline, at this point I don’t see anymore reason why I should be mentoring you. You;re out of the New Era Classic, it’s Joso against Harley Lewis which sounds about as exciting as a vasectomy. Want to know what else irritates me about all of this? The match I had earlier tonight, the week I had to endure mentally heading into it, the fact I hate those two cu…. Those two women, more than a diabetic rash. And the only reason I faced them was because of you. I would have never gone to Voltage as I won them the number one draft pick two years ago and Captain Charisma didn;t draft me, I will never forget. Had I just minded my own business with Adam Lucas and we just hung out on the boat and tanned all fuc… flipping day, I would never have had to get mixed up in this stupid drama and face IDOL-GUN again and after tonight I never will, this whole mess was because of you!
(Caroline looks completely stunned as she can’t even muster the words right now to respond to what seems to be a very annoyed and angry Dr. Bethany Blue which is surprising considering she has been nothing but nice, kind and sweet to her….)
Dr. Bethany Blue: I have to think about ME. You have become a liability. You are a sweet girl and I am sure you will one day flourish when you stop watching episodes of Degrassi. I think it is best that we go our separate ways.
(The Good Doctor is about to step away but Caroline is not going to let this go without a fight….)
Caroline: Wait Betha… Dr. Blue! I am so ready for this and I know that we are like such a good team! I will do sooo much better, I promise! Your mentoring has been such a huge help! It has really been one of my favorite things about being here in the EAW! I let you down… I’m sorry. I promise to do better and I will never let you down again.
(Bethany glares at her for a moment before she sighs…)
Dr. Bethany Blue: You’re right, you won’t let me down again because it’s OVER.
(As Bethany storms off, rolling her eyes, Caroline just stands there stunned, she can;t believe what just happened between the two. Her lips start to quiver and eyes tear up as it transitions to ringside and the next match graphic comes up.)
(Grand Rampage fades back to ringside, and Stephie Love is seen in the middle of the ring, ready to announce the next match.)
Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen… The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!!!!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!!!
Stephie Love: AND IT IS FOR THE EAW INTERWIRE CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!!!
(‘In the Air Tonight’ by Phil Collins hits, and once again the crowd explodes as Scott Diamond begins walking out. This is already such a huge match despite not having started yet, but Scott Diamond doesn’t seem at all worried. He has a look of focus in his eyes but as he walks down the ramp to a slightly mixed reaction, it’s clear that Scott likes his chances of becoming Interwire Champion tonight, not wasting any time and instead making his way directly down the ramp and to the ring.)
Stephie Love: Introducing first… From River Oaks, Texas… Weighing in at 277 pounds… HE IS THE COLD-BLOODED KILLER, SCOOTTTTTTTTTTTT DDIIIIIIAAAAMMMOOOOONNDDDD!!!!!!
Stew-O: HERE COMES SCOTT DIAMOND!!! We saw him compete at Dynasty, and yet it’s still surreal seeing him here tonight, ready to fight for the Interwire Championship! This match has been building for some time now, and I don’t think there’s enough words to do justice to how exciting this matchup really is!
Jake Mercer: This is about to be one hell of a match, but that’s not what Scott Diamond is here for! Scott Diamond is here to take Andre Walker down, and leave Grand Rampage as the Interwire Champion! After all the matches he’s had in the past year, I think he might be able to accomplish that!
Flannery McCoy: What? All one of his matches?
Jake Mercer: It was a really good match.
(‘Leaving Caladan’ by Hans Zimmer hits, and once again a very loud mixed reaction follows, this time for the King of Elite and Interwire Champion, Andre Walker. Albert Hitchman follows Andre, and as soon as Andre walks out, he stares at Scott Diamond who is in the ring. This staredown lasts only a few seconds though, as Andre doesn’t looks more than prepared for this match, slowly making his way down the ramp and walking towards the ring at his own pace.)
Stephie Love: And his opponent… Accompanied by Albert Hitchman… From the Isle of Samoa… Weighing in at 245 pounds…. HE IS THE EAW INTERWIRE CHAMPION, THE KAISER, ANNNDDREEEEE WAAAAALLLLKKERRRRRRRR!!!!!
Stew-O: And now here comes Andre Walker, who has slowly been building one of the most impressive resumes we’ve seen in such a short period of time. He’s already picked up huge victories over all sorts of major names and he’s already accomplished so much in such a short period of time. Is tonight the night he defeats Scott Diamond?
Jake Mercer: I guess we’ll find out, but Andre Walker has always been the type to put on a fantastic performance, and that’s at the very least! Regardless of the result neither man will go down easily!
Flannery McCoy: There’s something I can finally agree with. With Albert Hitchman out there on Andre’s side I have no idea what’s about to happen, besides a match that has the potential of becoming a classic’
(Andre Walker and Scott Diamond stare at one another, and the referee finally calls for the bell.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: HERE. WE. GO!
Flannery McCoy: THESE TWO MONSTERS AMONG MEN FLY AT ONE ANOTHER AND START THROWING HANDS RIGHT OFF THE BAT! ANDRE WALKER AND SCOTT DIAMOND ARE BEATING THE CRAP OUT OF EACH OTHER AND THIS CROWD IS GOING CRAZY! SCOTT MANAGES TO BACK ANDRE INTO THE CORNER AND RIGHTS AND LEFTS ARE CONNECTING WITH ANDRE’S FACE AND HEAD!
Jake Mercer: ANDRE ATTEMPTS TO COVER UP BUT SCOTT KICKS HIM RIGHT IN THE STOMACH AND STOMPS HIM DOWN INTO A SITTING POSITION! HIS RIGHT KNEE HITS ANDRE WALKER SQUARE IN THE MOUTH AND HE PULLS THE REIGNING KING OF ELITE UP BY THE HAIR! SCOTT LIFTS ANDRE IN THE AIR AND HE’S ALREADY GOING FOR ‘THE VORTEX’!!!!
Stew-O: ANDRE SENSES DANGER AND BEGINS TO ELBOW SCOTT IN THE TEMPLE! SCOTT IS FORCED TO LET GO, AND ANDRE IS BACK ON HIS FEET! ANDRE SWINGS WILDLY, LOOKING TO CONNECT WITH A RIGHT HAND, BUT SCOTT DUCKS, WHIRLS ANDRE AROUND, AND SLAMS HIM HARD ON THE MAT WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX!!!!
Flannery McCoy: SCOTT IMMEDIATELY LOOKS TO DEADLIFT ANDRE UP FOR A SECOND GERMAN, BUT ANDRE ANSWERS WITH A BACK ELBOW! TWO MORE ELBOWS CONNECT AND ANDRE RIPS SCOTT’S ARMS FROM AROUND HIS WAIST! ANDRE SENDS SCOTT INTO THE ROPES AND THERE’S ‘HUNGER ON THE HILLSIDE’!!! THE SPEAR CO-
Jake Mercer: IT DOESN’T CONNECT, FLAN! SCOTT DIAMOND JUST FUCKING LEAPFROGGED THE SPEAR ATTEMPT, LEAVING YANKEE STADIUM SHOOK, AND ANDRE MANAGES TO PUT THE BRAKES ON BEFORE HE FLIES OUT OF THE RING!
Stew-O: :whew: Andre whirls around and sees Scott laughing maniacally and look at the irritation that has crossed Andre Walker’s face. He went for the quick finish, Scott had it scouted, and now we have a stand-off. Scott Diamond is no longer laughing. I don’t really remember the last time Andre Walker actually smiled. This rivalry, if that’s what you wish to call it, has become deeply personal
Flannery McCoy: That’s an understatement, Stew. There’s not an ounce of respect between either of these men tonight. Both have the same goal and that’s to win this match and teach the other man a very valuable lesson.
Jake Mercer: ANDRE STOPS WASTING TIME! HE LUNGES FOR SCOTT BUT SCOTT CUTS HIM OFF WITH A HUGE RIGHT HAND TO THE FACE! Did you know that at the age of seven, Scott Diamond won his first ever Golden Glove award?
Flannery McCoy: For like boxing?? You expect me to believe he was a child boxer?
Jake Mercer: No, you idiot. I meant for baseball. Scott was a hell of a shortstop, the biggest one in his entire little league division. We’re in the historic baseball mecca that is Yankee Stadium so I thought I would drop some baseball facts in there.
Flannery McCoy: Oh brother.
Stew-O: Scott is laying waste to Andre, absolutely peppering him with rights and lefts, driving the Interwire Champion back into the corner! Scott connecting with multiple shoulder thrusts but Andre is able to push him back and stiff him right in the face with a forearm! Scott looks to retaliate, but Andre blocks the shot, grabs Scott, and hits a belly-to-belly suplex!
Flannery McCoy: Scott Diamond is back up immediately but Andre is ready! Andre with a push kick to Scott Diamond’s chest and he looks to follow up with a clothesline! Scott ducks the clothesline though! He grabs Andre and dumps him on his head with another German suplex!
Jake Mercer: A TRIO OF GERMAN SUPLEXES! Scott with three in a row and he releases Andre on the last one! Andre is thrown into the ropes! Scott takes a peak at Albert Hitchman on the sidelines, who looks very concerned for his client, BUT NEVER TAKE YOUR EYES OFF SOMEONE AS SKILLED AS ANDRE WALKER! ANDRE USES THE ROPES FOR MOMENTUM AND SCOTT EATS A BIG BOOT TO THE FACE! SCOTT SCRAMBLES TO HIS FEET BUT THERE’S A RUNNING FOREARM SMASH THAT SENDS SCOTT RIGHT OUT OF THE RING!
Stew-O: SCOTT FALLS RIGHT AT HITCHMAN’S FEET BUT HITCH WISELY BACKS OFF! ANDRE HAS EXITED THE RING AND NOW THAT HE SEES SCOTT IS UP, HE’S BROKEN INTO A SPRINT! ANDRE RUNS AROUND THE RING AND LEAPS ON THE STEPS… FLYING FOREARM SMASH! SCOTT DIAMOND IS DOWN! ANDRE PUMMELS SCOTT WITH KICKS AND STOMPS TO THE BACK AND HEAD AREAS!
Jake Mercer: HE PULLS SCOTT UP BY HIS LITTLE PONYTAIL AND WHIPS HIM HARD INTO THE BARRICADES! THE FANS SCATTER BECAUSE THEY SEE ANDRE BARRELING TOWARDS SCOTT AND ANDRE WITH AN AMAZING RUNNING LEAPING KNEE STRIKE THAT KNOCKS SCOTT OVER THE RAILING AND RIGHT INTO THE CROWD!
Flannery McCoy: ANDRE JUMPS OVER THE RAILING AND DEADLIFTS SCOTT UP! GERMAN SUPLEX FROM ANDRE THIS TIME AND THE BACK OF SCOTT’S HEAD CRACKS AGAINST THE UNFORGIVING GROUND! ANDRE PULLS HIM UP AGAIN AND SUPLEXES HIM INTO A ROW OF CHAIRS! ANDRE DRAGS SCOTT OUT OF THE RUBBLE AND SLAMS HIS FACE INTO THE BARRICADE! HE DUMPS SCOTT OVER THE RAILING AND NOW BOTH MEN ARE BACK AT RINGSIDE! ANDRE DRAGS SCOTT BACK TO THE RING AND SLAMS HIS FACE INTO THE APRON!
Stew-O: ANDRE ROLLS SCOTT BACK INTO THE RING AND GOES FOR THE QUICK COVER!
OOONNNEEE!!!
Jake Mercer: SCOTT’S OUT BEFORE THE REF CAN COUNT TO TWO!
Flannery McCoy: ANDRE PULLS THE HALL OF FAMER UP AND SENDS HIM INTO THE ROPES! SCOTT LOCKS HIS ARMS BUT HERE COMES ANDRE! HE DUMPS SCOTT OVER THE TOP ROPE AND TURNS HIS ATTENTION TO THE REFEREE!
Stew-O: OH COME ON! HITCHMAN JUST KICKED SCOTT RIGHT IN THE RIBS! THAT WAS A BLATANT CHEAP SHOT! THE REFEREE’S BACK WAS TURNED AND HITCHMAN TOOK ADVANTAGE!
Jake Mercer: :yikes: The way the relationship has imploded between Hitch and Diamond is sad to me. Those two go way back considering Albert Hitchman was a friend of Scott’s dad! Did you know that Hitchman is a former lawyer whose office was above a deli? He kind of sucked at that job but since he was such a great talker, Scott hired him to do his talking for him.
Flannery McCoy: You lie so much, Jake. I don’t even know if I believe that.
Jake Mercer: It’s completely true. Ronn Banks told me and said he got that information from Scott himself 😄
Stew-O: Regardless of how the relationship came about, it’s a complete shame that it’s dissolved into this. Hitchman kicking Scott in the ribs is disgusting.
Flannery McCoy: Andre has rolled onto the apron of the ring now and he is stalking Scott now. Scott has gotten back to his feet and he looks up to see Andre get a running start! ANDRE JUMPS OFF THE APRON OF THE RING, LOOKING FOR ANOTHER FLYING FOREARM, BUT SCOTT CATCHES HIM! SCOTT JUST CAUGHT ANDRE OUT OF THE AIR AND DUMPS HIM WITH A RELEASE BELLY-TO-BACK SUPLEX!!!!!
Jake Mercer: ANDRE IS UP, BUT SO IS SCOTT! SCOTT SLAMS HIS SHOULDER INTO ANDRE’S STOMACH AND DRIVES HIM BACK INTO THE RING POST! HE DOES THIS A FEW MORE TIMES BEFORE GRABBING ANDRE BY THE HAIR AND SMACKING HIS FACE OFF THE APRON! SCOTT IS ON THE APRON NOW AND HE STOMPS ON ANDRE’S HEAD! MORE STOMPS CONNECT AND SCOTT REACHES DOWN TO PULL ANDRE UP!
Stew-O: GERMAN SUPLEX ON THE HARDEST PART OF THE RING! SCOTT WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX RIGHT THERE ON THE APRON! HE ROLLS ANDRE BACK INSIDE AND GOES FOR HIS FIRST COVER OF THE MATCH!
OOONNNEEE!!!
Flannery McCoy: ANDRE KICKS OUT BEFORE THE COUNT OF TWO!
Jake Mercer: Scott pulls the Interwire Champion to his feet and sends him right out of the ring! Andre hits the ground hard, and Scott attacks him right away! There’s a lot of anger and aggravation in this stomps, and Scott doesn’t seem to be fucking around right now! He jerks Andre up and absolutely destroys him with a release belly-to-belly suplex! ANDRE JUST GOT DUMPED RIGHT ON HIS FACE!
Stew-O: SCOTT IS NOW RIPPING APART THE SPANISH ANNOUNCE TABLE AND HE’S GRABBED A MONITOR! THE REFEREE IS DOWN AND TELLING SCOTT HE CAN’T USE THAT MONITOR, AND THAT GIVES ANDRE AN OPENING! ‘HUNGER ON HILLSIDE’!!!
Flannery McCoy: NO! SCOTT WITH A KNEE STRIKE THAT STOPS ANDRE WALKER RIGHT IN HIS TRACKS! THE INTERWIRE CHAMPION IS CLUTCHING HIS FACE AND SCOTT POUNCES! HE HOISTS ANDRE UP AND SLAMS HIM INTO THE SPANISH ANNOUNCE TABLE WITH A MODIFIED CRUCIFIX POWERBOMB!
Stew-O: SCOTT DRAGS ANDRE OFF THE TABLE AND RUTHLESSLY THROWS HIM INTO THE RINGSTEPS! ANDRE IS GRABBING AT HIS BACK BUT SCOTT GIVES HIM NO REPRIEVE! HE THROWS ANDRE BACK INTO THE RING, DEADLIFTS HIM UP, AND THROWS HIM INTO THE CORNER WITH A RELEASE GERMAN SUPLEX! THE BACK OF ANDRE’S HEAD HIT THE TURNBUCKLES!!!
Jake Mercer: ANDRE IS SLOW TO GET INTO A SITTING POSITION AND HERE COMES SCOTT! KNEE STRIKE TO THE FACE! HE PULLS ANDRE UP AND SLAMS HIM IN THE FACE WITH A FOREARM! MULTIPLE MACHINE GUN LIKE CHOPS ARE LIGHTING UP ANDRE WALKER! ANDRE LEAVES THE CORNER THANKS TO ANOTHER RELEASE BELLY-TO-BELLY SUPLEX!
Flannery McCoy: This match has been pretty intense since the moment the bell rang. I think Scott is looking to slow the pace down just a bit because he’s down on the mat and has Andre in a grounded headlock.
Stew-O: Andre is trying to work his way back up, but Scott’s not having it. He’s keeping the champion on the ground! Scott switches to one arm but he is punching Andre in the head now! Andre is trying to pry Scott’s arm away from his neck, but those punches to the skull are doing some damage. Andre’s arm drops and Scott is firmly in control of this match right now.
Jake Mercer: I think both of these men are very underrated in terms of their actual mat wrestling ability. They’re both looked at as absolute titans inside that ring but both have what it takes to get the job done on the ground. Perfect example of just how good Scott really is, he carried a fucking bum like Darkane to a Match of the Year nominee for their Pain for Pride Festival main event.
Flannery McCoy: Darkane wasn’t the only bum that got carried that year during Pain for Pride.
Jake Mercer: I mean, Cloud was your preferred champion and the one you wanted representing your brand, Flan.
Stew-O: Alright, enough.
Flannery McCoy: Enough is right. Scott is up and he’s brought Andre along for the ride! He’s switched to a side headlock now and both men are back against the ropes now. Scott releases the headlock and sends Andre across the ring… TURNING HIM INSIDE OUT WITH A LARIAT ON THE REBOUND!
Stew-O: Andre is smart to roll onto the apron and drop to the ground. This match has been dominated by Scott Diamond for the last few minutes and Hitchman has ran to Andre’s side. He’s checking on his client but Scott is out of the ring. Scott slowly makes his way to Andre and Hitchman, and look at Hitchman! He’s backpedaling like a coward, wanting absolutely nothing to do with his former client. Scott goes to pull Andre up, but the champ lands a right hand to Scott’s mid-section! Another right hand connects but Scott with a knee to the face! That temporarily derails Andre’s attempt at a comeback, and Scott jerks him up and whips him into the ringpost!
Jake Mercer: This has been an extremely physical and punishing match thus far, and Andre has taken the brunt of the abuse. He’s grabbing his lower back again, but here come’s Scott!
Flannery McCoy: SCOTT JUST WENT FOR A BIG BOOT BUT ANDRE MOVED! SCOTT’S FOOT HIT THE RINGPOST MOMENTARILY STUNNING HIM! SCOTT SHAKES OFF THE PAIN IN HIS FOOT AND TURNS AROUND, BUT THERE’S ANDRE!!! ‘KAISER’S TOUCH’!!! THE SUPERMAN PUNCH CONNECTS ON SCOTT DIAMOND! SCOTT DOESN’T GO DOWN BUT THERE’S ‘HUNGER ON HILLSIDE’! THE SPEAR CONNECTS AND SCOTT IS DRIVEN INTO THE BARRICADES BY THE SHEER FORCE OF THAT AMAZING SPEAR!
Jake Mercer: Andre can’t win this match on the outside though! He knows he’s got to get Scott Diamond back into that ring! And to his credit, Scott is already sitting back up! He’s clutching at his ribs, but he is sitting!
Stew-O: I don’t think that matters to the reigning King of Elite at all! He pulls Scott up and whips him into the edge of the ring! Scott lands hard and immediately grabs at his back but Andre pulls him away from the ring… only to slam him back first against the edge again! Andre drives his knee into Scott’s stomach and throws him into the ring steps! A little payback from earlier when Scott did the same thing to Andre, and Andre is stomping away on Scott now! He is definitely looking to target the rib area, and finally pulls Scott up and rolls him into the ring.
Flannery McCoy: Andre pauses for a moment, which allows Scott to get his bearings, and now he runs the ropes! HE LEAPS OVER SCOTT, HITS THE ROPES AGAIN, AND COMPLETELY LAYS SCOTT OUT WITH A RUNNING KNEE STRIKE TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD! SCOTT IS DOWN!!!
Jake Mercer: Andre elects not to go for the cover! He’s got something else in mind as he pulls Scott up. Scott is thrown into the corner AND THERE’S ANDRE WITH A RUNNING, JUMPING CORNER CLOTHESLINE! HE BEGINS TO HAMMER AWAY ON SCOTT NOW! RIGHTS AND LEFTS HIT THEIR MARK! SCOTT ATTEMPTS TO COVER UP BUT ANDRE LACES SCOTT’S ARMS AROUND THE ROPES EXPOSING HIS CHEST AND MIDSECTION! ANDRE WITH KICKS TO THE CHEST NOW! SHOTS TO THE RIBS! HE IS FUCKING UP SCOTT DIAMOND NOW! ANDRE WITH SEVERAL STIFF FOREARM SHOTS TO THE FACE AND HE FOLLOWS UP WITH A SPINNING BACK ELBOW THAT KNOCKS SCOTT RIGHT BETWEEN THE EYES! ANDRE DRAGS SCOTT OUT OF THE CORNER AND THERE’S A BELLY-TO-BELLY SUPLEX!
Flannery McCoy: ANDRE TRANSITIONS THAT SUPLEX INTO A BEAUTIFUL KNEEBAR! HE’S GOT SCOTT LOCKED IN A KNEEBAR AND SCOTT IS THRASHING ABOUT! NO DOUBT ANDRE IS THINKING ABOUT A STATEMENT VICTORY HERE TONIGHT AND WHAT BETTER WAY TO DO THAT THAN BY RIPPING SCOTT’S KNEE APART AND GETTING THE SUBMISSION!
Stew-O: BUT LOOK AT SCOTT! SCOTT IS USING ALL OF HIS POWER TO DRAG THEM BOTH TO THE ROPES SO HE CAN BREAK THIS HOLD AND HE’S GOING TO DO JUST THAT! SCOTT MANAGES TO GRIP THE ROPES AND THE REFEREE HAS TO STEP IN! HE IS TELLING ANDRE TO LET GO OF THE MOVE BUT ANDRE IS WAY TO FOCUSED ON HURTING SCOTT RIGHT NOW!
Referee: (off-mic) :francis: Alright. ONE… TWO… THREE… FOUR…
Jake Mercer: ANDRE WITH THE RELUCTANT BREAK BUT HE QUICKLY GRABS SCOTT BY THE LEG AND YANKS HIM AWAY FROM THE ROPES! HE’S GOING FOR A SECOND KNEEBAR BUT SCOTT BOOTS HIM BACK! SCOTT QUICKLY THROWS HIMSELF BACK TO THE ROPES AND USES THEM TO PULL HIMSELF UP!
Flannery McCoy: ‘KAISER’S TOUCH’! SUPERMAN PUNCH CONNECTS ON SCOTT! SCOTT STUMBLES AROUND THE RING AND ANDRE RUSHES TOWARDS HIM! HE TACKLES BACK INTO THE CORNER AND CONTINUOUSLY DRIVES HIS SHOULDER INTO SCOTT’S STOMACH! SCOTT CATCHES ANDRE ON THE BACK OF THE HEAD WITH A HAMMERFIST, BUT THAT DIDN’T EVEN AFFECT THE CHAMPION! ANDRE IS UNLOADING THOSE POWERFUL BODY PUNCHES, CONCENTRATING ON THE RIBS AGAIN! HE FINALLY PULLS BACK AND KICKS SCOTT IN THE RIGHT KNEE!
Stew-O: THAT’S THE KNEE THAT WAS LOCKED IN THE KNEE BAR SUBMISSION AND SCOTT’S LEG BUCKLES! ANDRE PULLS HIM OUT OF THE CORNER, HOOKS THE RIGHT LEG, AND THAT’S A BEAUTIFUL FISHERMAN’S SUPLEX! ANDRE HAS THE COVER!!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
Jake Mercer: SCOTT KICKS OUT!
Stew-O: ANDRE ROLLS OFF SCOTT AND GOES FOR THE KNEE! HE TRIES TO LOCK IN A SECOND KNEE BAR, BUT SCOTT QUICKLY DRIVES HIS FOOT INTO ANDRE’S HIP, NOT ALLOWING HIM TO GET THE KNEE EXTENDED! ANDRE LOSES HIS GRIP WHICH GIVES SCOTT A CHANCE TO GET UP, BUT ANDRE IS RIGHT THERE! SCOTT TRIES FOR A FRONT FACELOCK BUT ANDRE SLIPS AROUND AND BRINGS HIM DOWN WITH A SIDE SLAM! SCOTT IS ABLE TO ROLL UP ONTO ALL FOURS AND REACH BEHIND TO HOOK ANDRE AROUND THE NECK! HE BRINGS HIM OVER, SHOULDERS TO THE MAT, BUT ANDRE THROWS HIS LEGS BACK AND IS UP!
Flannery McCoy: SCOTT IS UP TOO! HE GRABS ANDRE BY THE LEGS AND KNOCKS HIM ON HIS BACK! HE STOMPS ON ANDRE’S STOMACH AND HE’S GOING FOR THE FIGURE FOUR! ANDRE WALKER IS LOCKED IN THE FIGURE FOUR AND THEY ARE RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING!
Jake Mercer: THAT’S WHY ANDRE JUST WENT FOR THE REVERSAL! SCOTT IS TRYING TO HANG ON SO THAT DOESN’T HAPPEN BUT ANDRE IS TOO STRONG! HE FLIPS THEM BOTH OVER AND SCOTT HAS NO CHOICE BUT TO RELEASE THE HOLD! BOTH MEN HEAD FOR THE ROPES ON OPPOSITE SIDES OF THE RING AND THIS CROWD IS ON THEIR FEET AS BOTH MEN PULL THEMSELVES UP!
Stew-O: Absolutely incredible display of pure wrestling by both men.
Flannery McCoy: And neither man wants to let the other have any sort of advantage in this match. It’s Andre who moves away from the ropes first and Scott goes to meet him. They lock up in the center of the ring with Andre managing to get the advantage and push Scott against the ropes! This doesn’t last for long as both men jostle back and forth for position! They end up in the corner now, with Andre pinned against the turnbuckles! Scott breaks before the referee can get in there but he absolutely destroys Andre’s chest with a massive chop! That just echoed throughout this entire stadium!
Jake Mercer: Andre brushes it off and he hits Scott with a chop that was just as loud and just as punishing! Scott is fucking laughing and he chops Andre again! Andre doesn’t find any of this funny and he answers with a chop! Scott fires back! Now Andre! SCOTT! ANDRE! SCOTT! ANDRE! SCOTT! ANDRE! BOTH MEN ARE CHOPPING THE HELL OUT OF ONE ANOTHER AND ANDRE JUST TOOK IT TO ANOTHER LEVELS! HE JUST CHOPPED SCOTT ACROSS THE FACE AND ‘THE MAD TITAN’ HAS STOPPED SMILING!
Stew-O: ANDRE GOES FOR ANOTHER CHOP BUT SCOTT GRABS HIS ARM! SCOTT HAS ANDRE’S ARM AND HE WRESTLES HIM TO THE MAT! ANDRE TRIES TO FREE HIS ARM AND GO FOR A CHOKE, BUT SCOTT HAS THE ARMBAR! THE ARMBAR IS CINCHED IN AND ANDRE WALKER IS IN TROUBLE! THE KING OF ELITE IS AT RISK OF HAVING HIS ARM BROKEN RIGHT NOW!!!!
Flannery McCoy: SCOTT HAS FULL EXTENSION ON THE ARM AND ANDRE IS DESPERATE TO GET TO THE ROPES! HE IS USING HIS LEGS TO REACH AND HE FINALLY GETS THE TIP OF HIS FOOT ON THE ROPES! THE REFEREE SEES THIS AND ORDERS SCOTT TO BREAK, WHILE ANDRE IS NOW CURLING HIS ENTIRE FOOT AROUND THE ROPE AND PULLING BOTH OF THEM TOWARDS THE ROPES!
Jake Mercer: Scott looks completely disgusted as he releases the armbar, and Andre quickly rolls himself out of the ring. He is holding his arm and trying to get some feeling back into it, but Scott is quickly out of the ring! BIG BOOT CONNECTS TO THAT INJURED ARM! Andre loses his footing and that allows Scott to knee Andre in the stomach! Scott grabs the Interwire Champion AND HE HOISTS HIM ON HIS SHOULDERS! HE’S GOING FOR ‘THE VORTEX’!!! SCOTT IS GOING TO HIT THE F5 RIGHT HERE IN FRONT OF US!
Flannery McCoy: ANDRE JABS HIS THUMB RIGHT INTO SCOTT’S EYE AND SLITHERS BACK TO HIS FEET! HE SHOVES SCOTT FROM BEHIND AND SCOTT SLAMS FACE FIRST INTO THE RING POST! HE FALLS BACK RIGHT INTO ANDRE’S ARMS AND ANDRE WITH A RELEASE GERMAN SUPLEX THAT SENDS SCOTT FLYING BACK TOWARDS OUR ANNOUNCE TABLE!
Stew-O: That has bought Andre Walker some time as he tries to recover from nearly having his arm broken! He continues to try and shake some feeling back into it while never taking his eyes off of Scott Diamond. Scott is pulling himself up with the help of our announce table and HERE COMES ANDRE! ANDRE WITH A RUNNING START COLLIDES WITH SCOTT, AND HE LIFTS HIM UP, POWERBOMBING HIM RIGHT THROUGH OUR BOOTH!!!!
Flannery McCoy: BOTH MEN ARE DOWN AND THE REFEREE HAS STARTED THE COUNT!
ONE…
TWO…
THREE…
FOUR…
Jake Mercer: ANDRE HAS ROLLED OFF SCOTT AND SEES THE REFEREE IS COUNTING!
FIVE…
SIX…
SEVEN…
Stew-O: HE’S BACK AND HAS SCOTT BY THE HAIR! ANDRE LUGS SCOTT BACK TO THE RING AND ROLLS HIM INSIDE TO STOP THE COUNT AND NOW ANDRE IS GOING FOR THE COVER!!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
Jake Mercer: SCOTT GETS THE SHOULDER UP!
Flannery McCoy: We have reached the point in this war where both men are spent and it’s understable to see that frustration has settled across Andre Walker’s face. This match was never going to be pretty and we all knew it was going to be brutal, and whoever ends up winning this and heading to Pain for Pride as the Interwire Champion is really going to have to dig deep.
Stew-O: Andre takes his time getting up. I know he’s trying to decide what to do in order to put Scott away for good. Scott Diamond is one of the greatest Elitists ever and I find it hard to believe that Andre Walker thought this match was going to be an easy one to win.
Jake Mercer: He learned the hard way not to underestimate those who paved the way for Elitists like him back at Clash of Kingdoms in October. Ronn Banks was able to put Andre away in his return to the ring and you know Andre doesn’t want to suffer a similar loss, especially when there is so much attached to this particular match. The personal aspect of it involves Albert Hitchman, as well as Andre’s desire to head to Pain for Pride with a chance to become a double champion.
Flannery McCoy: That’s right. It was one week after winning King of Elite that Andre called his shot and said he would be cashing in his crown at Pain for Pride 15.
Stew-O: Look, guys. Scott Diamond has pushed himself back up. He’s looking to get back in this match but Andre is crouched down in the corner and he is waiting. SCOTT TURNS TOWARDS ANDRE AND THERE’S THE SPEAR!!! ANDRE CONNECTS WITH ‘HUNGER ON HILLSIDE’!!!!
Jake Mercer: NO HE DOESN’T! SCOTT CAUGHT HIM AROUND THE NECK AND HAS TURNED THIS INTO A GUILLOTINE CHOKE!!! GUILLOTINE CHOKE IS LOCKED IN!!! WILL HE FORCE ANDRE WALKER TO TAP OUT??
Flannery McCoy: ANDRE REACHES FOR SCOTT’S ARM, BUT SCOTT GETS HIS LEGS LOCKED! YANKEE STADIUM IS GOING CRAZY AS SCOTT LOOKS TO ADD THE ANOTHER INTERWIRE CHAMPIONSHIP TO HIS ALREADY IMPRESSIVE RESUME!!!!
Stew-O: ANDRE IS TRYING TO OVERPOWER SCOTT! HE’S USING HIS ARMS AND HIS LEG TO PUSH UP AND HE’S BACK TO HIS FEET! SCOTT HASN’T RELEASED THE CHOKE BUT ANDRE IS BACK IN CONTROL AS HE SLAMS SCOTT TO THE MAT WITH A SPINE BUSTER! HOLY SHIT! WHAT A COUNTER!!!
Jake Mercer: BOTH MEN ARE DOWN RIGHT NOW! Andre is grabbing his throat and trying to get some air back into his lungs, while Scott sits up, clearly favoring his lower back. Andre finally gets himself into a sitting position AND SCOTT!!!! SCOTT GRABS HIM IN A SECOND GUILLOTINE CHOKE! CAN ANDRE PULL OFF A SECOND COUNTER??
Flannery McCoy: IT’S NOT EASY THE SECOND TIME AROUND BUT ANDRE HAS HIS LEGS PLANTED! HE SOMEHOW MANAGES TO FLIP HIMSELF OVER AND THERE IS A BRIDGE-STYLE PIN ON SCOTT!!!! WOW!!!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTT-
Stew-O: SCOTT HAS TO LET GO OF THE CHOKE IN ORDER TO KICK OUT!
Flannery McCoy: Both men remain on the mat while they try and get themselves together. It’s hard to tell who this crowd is rallying behind, but it’s obvious that Hitchman is solidly behind Andre Walker. He’s trying to motivate his client to get back up and Andre is stirring.
Jake Mercer: Meanwhile, Scott is crawling to the ropes! Scott is using the ropes to pull himself up and Hitchman is screaming at Andre to get back into the match! THE KING OF ELITE FINALLY RETURNS TO A VERTICAL BASE AND SEES SCOTT RUNNING RIGHT TOWARDS HIM! ANDRE ISN’T ABLE TO DEFEND HIMSELF AND SCOTT HITS A SPEAR OF HIS OWN SENDING BOTH MEN OUT OF THE RING!
Stew-O: SCOTT LUMBERS TO HIS FEET AND QUICKLY SNATCHES UP ANDRE! HE GETS ‘THE KAISER’ IN THE AIR AND ABSOLUTELY DESTROYS HIM WITH ‘THE VORTEX’ ONTO THE RING STEPS! ANDRE OUT COLD ON THE RING STEPS AND SCOTT POINTS HIS FINGER AT HITCHMAN! HITCH THROWS HIS HANDS UP IN SURRENDER AND STARTS BACKING AWAY! SCOTT IS STALKING HIM AND HITCH IS SCARED SHITLESS! IF THERE IS ANYONE IN THE WORLD WHO KNOWS WHAT KIND OF LEVEL OF DEPRAVITY SCOTT DIAMOND CAN REACH IT IS ALBERT HITCHMAN!
Flannery McCoy: SCOTT FINALLY STOPS MESSING AROUND AND HE LUNGES AT HITCHMAN! HE’S GOT HIM AROUND THE NECK AND HOISTS HIM IN THE AIR!
Jake Mercer: ‘KAISER’S TOUCH’! THE SUPERMAN PUNCH CONNECTS TO THE BACK OF SCOTT’S SKULL OUT OF NOWHERE! HITCH DROPS TO GROUND, FLOPPING AROUND LIKE A FISH, AND SCOTT DIAMOND IS DOWN ON A KNEE! I THOUGHT ANDRE WALKER WAS OUT AFTER TAKING ‘THE VORTEX’ ON THE STEPS BUT HE FOUND SOMETHING LEFT TO SAVE HIS MANAGER FROM A SURE DEATH!!!!
Stew-O: SCOTT SOMEHOW MAKES IT BACK UP BUT ANDRE IS ABLE TO LAND A SECOND ‘KAISER’S TOUCH’!!!! ANDRE GOES TO SCOTT AND TRIES TO PULL HIM UP, BUT SCOTT LANDS SEVERAL PUNCHES TO ANDRE’S STOMACH! ANDRE STOMPS SCOTT RIGHT IN THE HEAD AND THEN FOLLOWS UP BY STOMPING ON THE MAN’S HANDS, AND HE GRABS SCOTT BY THE HAIR! ANDRE RAMS SCOTT INTO THE LED RINGPOST BEFORE ROLLING HIM BACK INTO THE RING! ANDRE IS BACK INSIDE NOW AND LOOKS TO GRAB SCO-
Flannery McCoy: SCOTT PULLS HIM INTO A SMALL PACKAGE! ANDRE WALKER IS BEING PINNED!!!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEE-
Jake Mercer: ANDRE IS ABLE TO SAVE HIMSELF AND THE INTERWIRE CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!
Stew-O: A SMALL PACKAGE IS THE LAST THING I EXPECTED TO SEE IN THIS MATCH BUT THERE YOU GO! BOTH MEN ARE BACK UP AND IT’S ANDRE WHO DUCKS UNDERNEATH A WILD SWING! HE GRABS SCOTT AROUND THE WAIST BUT SCOTT CONNECTS WITH AN ELBOW TO THE TEMPLE! HE PULLS ANDRE INTO A SIDE HEADLOCK AND FORCES HIM BACK AGAINST THE ROPES! ANDRE ATTEMPTS TO ELBOW HIS WAY FREE BUT SCOTT CATCHES HIM WITH A KNEE TO THE STOMACH! HE RELEASES THE HEADLOCK ON HIS OWN AND IRISH WHIPS ANDRE INTO THE CORNER!
Flannery McCoy: SCOTT WITH A RUNNING BIG BOOT!!!
Jake Mercer: ANDRE MOVES OUT OF THE WAY AND SCOTT GETS HIS LEG UP ON THE TOP ROPE! ANDRE RUSHES IN FROM BEHIND AND LOOKS TO SECURE THE WIN WITH A ROLL-UP!!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
Stew-O: SCOTT FRANTICALLY KICKS OUT! BOTH MEN SCRAMBLE UP BUT THEY TAKE EACH OTHER DOWN WITH SIMULTANEOUS CLOTHESLINES!
Flannery McCoy: Several seconds have passed and neither man has tried to move! I can’t help but stress how physical this match has been from the opening bell. Neither one of them have held anything back and both them have been put through absolute hell. The brute force that both of them are able to connect with goes without saying which is why they have got to be exhausted at this point.
Jake Mercer: Absolutely. Andre and Scott have both given this match all they’ve got, but there has to be a winner. One of them is going to have to find a way to win this match.
Stew-O: SCOTT IS THE FIRST COMPETITOR TO MOVE AND HE ROLLS ON TOP OF ANDRE!!!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
Jake Mercer: ANDRE GETS HIS SHOULDER UP!
Flannery McCoy: Scott just shakes his head and he slowly gets up. He looks down at the Interwire Champion, who has rolled onto his side. Scott sees the opening and begins to stomp away on Andre’s arm! If you remember, Scott tried to break Andre’s right arm earlier in the match with an armbar, and now it looks like he is going to target it again! Those ruthless stomps are certainly causing a tremendous amount of damage to what could already be an injured limb, and Andre knows he needs to either get up or get to the ropes. Scott is staying on the attack and he finally grabs Andre by the arm!
Stew-O: SCOTT IS GOING FOR THE ARMBAR BUT LOOK! HITCH IS ON THE APRON NOW! ALBERT HITCHMAN IS ON THE RING AND HE IS SCREAMING AT SCOTT DIAMOND! SCOTT LETS GO OF ANDRE AND MAKES HIS WAY TO HITCH! HITCH IS SCREAMING AT SCOTT AND SCOTT IS LAUGHING! HE FINDS HITCHMAN’S AGGRAVATION OVER THE SITUATION HILARIOUS AND HITCH IS NOT AMUSED!
Jake Mercer: HITCHMAN SLAPS HIS FORMER CLIENT ACROSS THE FACE!
Flannery McCoy: THAT WIPED THE SMILE RIGHT OFF SCOTT’S FACE AND HITCHMAN JUST TURNED WHITE AS A GHOST! SCOTT GRABS HIM BY THE COLLAR AND HITCH IS SCREAMING FOR HIS LIFE!
Stew-O: THE CROWD IS ROARING! THEY WANT TO SEE SCOTT BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF ALBERT HITCHMAN!
Jake Mercer: ANDRE IS BACK UP THOUGH! HE IS COMING TO HITCHMAN’S RESCUE! HE LUNGES AT SCOTT AND LANDS ‘KAISER’S TOUCH’!!!!
Flannery McCoy: NO HE DOES NOT! SCOTT LET GO OF HITCHMAN AND GOT THE HELL OUT OF THE WAY! THE SUPERMAN PUNCH NAILS ALBERT HITCHMAN AND HE FALLS OFF THE RING APRON ONTO THE GROUND! HITCH IS DEAD! ANDRE WALKER IS IN COMPLETE SHOCK! HE CAN’T BELIEVE THAT JUST HAPPENED!!!!
Stew-O: AND THERE’S SCOTT DIAMOND! HE GRABS ANDRE FROM BEHIND AND ABSOLUTELY DESTROYS HIM WITH ‘THE VORTEX’! THE F5 HAS TAKEN OUT ANDRE WALKER AND WE’RE ABOUT TO HAVE OURSELVES A BRAND NEW INTERWIRE CHAMPION!!!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
Jake Mercer: ANDRE WALKER JUST KICKED OUT AT THE LAST POSSIBLE SECOND! THIS CROWD IS IN SHOCK! SCOTT DIAMOND CAN’T BELIEVE IT! SOMEHOW… SOMEWAY… ANDRE WALKER FOUND THE WHEREWITHAL TO KEEP THIS MATCH ALIVE!
Flannery McCoy: SCOTT CAN’T BELIEVE THAT ‘THE VORTEX’ DIDN’T END THE MATCH! ANY OTHER ELITIST WOULD HAVE BEEN FINISHED!
Stew-O: :lupe: Scott takes a moment to decide what his next move is going to be and he decides to just grab Andre up and throw him out of the ring! Andre lands hard on the ground, but I can only imagine he is running off pure instinct and adrenaline right now. Scott is down on the ground as well now, and he makes his way over to Andre. He stomps on the arm a few times before pulling Andre to his feet! Scott secures the injured arm behind Andre’s back and rams him into the ringpost!
Jake Mercer: Andre hits the ground, clutching his arm, and Scott starts stomping on it again! Andre reaches for the ring skirt to pull himself away but Scott puts a stop to that real quick. He hoists Andre up onto his shoulders and it looks like he is going to try and F5 him into the apron :lupe:
Flannery McCoy: NO! ANDRE SENSES SCOTT IS TRYING TO END THIS MATCH AND HE CONTINUOUSLY ELBOWS SCOTT IN THE TEMPLE! SCOTT IS FORCED TO LET ANDRE DROP AND THAT ALLOWS THE KING OF ELITE TO CLIP SCOTT IN THE RIGHT KNEE! SCOTT DROPS AND ANDRE FORCES HIMSELF UP! HE GRABS SCOTT’S LEG AND DRAGS HIM TOWARDS THE RING STEPS! DESPERATE TIMES I GUESS! ANDRE PLACES SCOTT’S LEG WHERE THE RING STEPS SHOULD BE AND NOW HE IS GRABBING FOR THE STEPS! ANDRE IS LOOKING TO CRUSH SCOTT’S LEG AS HE PUTS ALL HIS WEIGHT INTO PUSHING THE STEPS!
Stew-O: THE STEPS SLAM INTO THE POST BECAUSE SCOTT WAS ABLE TO MOVE HIS LEG! ANDRE LOOKS PISSED AND HE GOES RIGHT AFTER THE HALL OF FAMER! HE PULLS SCOTT UP AND SMASHED HIS FACE INTO THE RING APRON OVER AND OVER AGAIN! SCOTT LOOKS A LITTLE LOOPY BUT MANAGES TO GET HIS HANDS UP TO BLOCK THE ASSAULT! ANDRE CLUBS HIM IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD AND JUST BEATS SCOTT DOWN UNTIL HE IS ON A HEAP ON THE GROUND! ANDRE WISELY SLIDES INTO THE RING TO BREAK UP THE COUNT BUT HE’S BACK DOWN ON THE GROUND!
Jake Mercer: ANDRE PULLS SCOTT TOWARDS THE SPANISH ANNOUNCE BOOTH AND HE DEADLIFTS THE 277-POUND ‘PERFECT STORM’ UP BY THE WAIST!
Flannery McCoy: GERMAN SUPLEX!!!!!
Stew-O: THE BACK OF SCOTT’S HEAD WAS SLAMMED INTO THE ANNOUNCE BOOTH AND IT’S BUSTED OPEN! ANDRE WALKER SHOWS ABSOLUTELY NO REMORSE AS HE DEADLIFTS SCOTT UP AGAIN, DRAGS HIM TO THE RING STEPS, AND SUPLEXES HIM AGAIN! SCOTT’S HEAD BOUNCES OFF THE STEPS WITH A SICKENING THUD AND THAT MIGHT HAVE FINALLY TAKEN SCOTT DIAMOND OUT OF THIS MATCH COMPLETELY!
Jake Mercer: ANDRE WALKER GRABS THE BLOODIED HAIR OF SCOTT DIAMOND AND HE TOSSES HIM INTO THE RING LIKE HE IS NOTHING! SCOTT ROLLS TOWARDS THE CORNER AND LOOK AT HIS EYES! I THINK HE’S CONCUSSED, GUYS!
Flannery McCoy: DESPITE THE SHOTS TO THE SKULL, SCOTT DIAMOND STILL HAS ENOUGH LEFT TO USE THE ROPES AND PULL HIMSELF UP! ANDRE DOESN’T BOTHER TO WAIT FOR HIM TO TURN AROUND EITHER! ‘HUNGER ON HILLSIDE’! THE SPEAR CONNECTS ON THE SPINE OF SCOTT DIAMOND AND HE’S FOLDED IN HALF LIKE AN ACCORDIAN! ANDRE QUICKLY FALLS ON TOP OF HIM FOR A PIN!!!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
Stew-O: ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?! SCOTT DIAMOND MANAGED TO KICK OUT! THE HALL OF FAMER IS SHOWING EXACTLY WHAT HE IS MADE OF HERE TONIGHT BY KICKING OUT AFTER TAKING ALL THAT ABUSE!
Flannery McCoy: ANDRE WALKER IS BESIDE HIMSELF AND HAS GOT TO BE WONDERING WHAT IT’S GOING TO TAKE FOR HIM TO WIN THIS MATCH AND KEEP HIS DREAM ALIVE OF POTENTIALLY BECOMING A DOUBLE CHAMPION AT PAIN FOR PRIDE!!!
Jake Mercer: YOU CAN SEE IT IN HIS EYES HOW BADLY HE WANTS TO WIN THIS MATCH! ANDRE WALKER HAS BEEN TOUTED AS THE FUTURE OF THIS COMPANY AND HE CAN REALLY CEMENT THAT IF HE IS ABLE TO PUT SCOTT DIAMOND AWAY FOR GOOD!
Stew-O: UNREAL! SCOTT’S ROLLED OVER AND IS TRYING TO PUSH HIMSELF UP! ANDRE SEES THIS AND IS BACK UP HIMSELF, GOING AFTER SCOTT AND HE’S GOT HIM IN A REAR NAKED CHOKE! SCOTT IS FLAILING HIS ARMS AND TRYING TO GRAB ANDRE’S NECK, BUT ANDRE IS ABLE TO TRANSITION THAT CHOKE INTO A BEAUTIFUL OVERHEAD SUPLEX! SCOTT CRASHES TO THE CANVAS AND ANDRE IS IMMEDIATELY GRABBING HIM AND PULLING HIM UP! IRISH WHIP INTO THE CORNER! RUNNING CORNER CLOTHESLINE! ANDRE EMPTYING THE TANK NOW! HE CATCHES SCOTT FLUSH ACROSS THE JAW WITH A SPINNING HEEL KICK AND KEEPS HIM TRAPPED IN THAT CORNER SO HE CAN MURDER HIM WITH STIFF PUNCHES AND STRIKES!
Flannery McCoy: SCOTT IS PRETTY DEFENSELESS RIGHT NOW AS ANDRE TURNS HIM AROUND, GRABS HIM FROM BEHIND, AND SLAMS THE BACK OF HIS HEAD INTO THE MAT! ANDRE WALKER BACK TO HIS FEET AND HE PULLS SCOTT UP! HE THROWS SCOTT INTO THE ROPES AND THERE’S THE FINALE! ‘HUNGER ON HILLSIDE’ CONNECTS!!!! SCOTT DIAMOND IS DOWN AND OUT!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
Jake Mercer: NO THE FUCK HE’S NOT! SCOTT GOT HIS SHOULDER UP BUT THIS TIME ANDRE DOESN’T LET FRUSTRATION DETER HIM! WITH A SICK SMILE ACROSS HIS FACE HE GRABS SCOTT BY THE NECK AND THERE’S ‘SE7EN’!!! ANDRE’S VERSION OF THE GUILLOTINE IS LOCKED IN NOW AND SCOTT DIAMOND HAS NOWHERE TO GO! BLOOD IS STILL OOZING FROM THE BACK OF HIS HEAD AND HIS RIBS AND RIGHT KNEE HAVE BEEN HEAVILY TARGETED TONIGHT!
Flannery McCoy: ANDRE TAKES A PEAK AND SEES SCOTT’S HAND ABOUT TO TAP OUT AND HE LETS GO??? WHY DID HE JUST LET GO???
(On the outside of the ring, Albert Hitchman, who’s left eye is swollen shut thanks to the ‘Kaiser’s Touch’ he got hit with earlier, is banging on the apron. He is pissed off and red-faced, and breathing extremely hard.)
Albert Hitchman: (off-mic) TORTURE THAT SON OF A BITCH!!!
Andre Walker: :mjlol2:
Stew-O: ANDRE RELEASED THE CHOKE JUST SO HE COULD LOCK IT BACK IN AGAIN! HE’S FOLLOWING HITCH’S ORDERS AND TORTURING SCOTT DIAMOND! HE’S GOING TO BRING HIM TO THE BRINK OF UNCONSCIOUSNESS AND RELEASE IT BEFORE SCOTT CAN TAP OUT!
Flannery McCoy: THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT HE’S DOING! HE SEES ‘SE7EN’ AS A MEANS TO PUNISH SCOTT AND REMIND HIM THAT THIS IS HIS YARD NOW! ANDRE RELEASES THE GUILLOTINE FOR A SECOND TIME AND GIVES SCOTT ONLY THE SMALLEST OF REPRIEVES! THAT NASTY SUBMISSION IS LOCKED IN FOR A THIRD TIME AND THIS TIME ANDRE GRABS SCOTT’S HAND TO KEEP HIM FROM SUBMITTING! THIS IS SICK! I DIDN’T KNOW ANDRE WALKER HAD SUCH A SADISTIC SIDE!
Jake Mercer: ANDRE FINALLY RELEASES ‘SE7EN’ AND HE GETS UP, STANDING TALL AND PROUD ABOVE THE FALLEN SCOTT DIAMOND! SCOTT DIAMOND IS ONE OF THE STRONGEST, MEANEST, AND DEADLIEST FORCES TO EVER STEP FOOT INSIDE AN EAW RING! AND ANDRE WALKER HAS JUST PROVEN TO THE WORLD THAT HE MIGHT JUST BE ALL THAT AND MORE!
Stew-O: THIS MATCH IS ALL BUT DONE BUT ANDRE LOOKS TO PUT THE FINISHING TOUCHES ON IT! HE HOISTS SCOTT UP INTO THE POWERBOMB POSITION AND SLAMS HIM INTO THE MAT! HE FOLLOWS UP WITH THE KNOCKOUT SHOT! A DROPPING FOREARM SHOT TO THE FACE THAT SNAPS SCOTT’S HEAD TO THE SIDE!
Flannery McCoy: (almost in a quiet voice) How very appropriate that finishing combination has been named ‘Diamond Breaker’.
Jake Mercer: ANDRE WALKER DROPS DOWN ACROSS SCOTT FOR THE COVER!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stephie Love: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN… HERE IS YOUR WINNER… AND STILL EAW INTERWIRE CHAMPION… ANDRE WALKER!
(“Leaving Caladan” by Hans Zimmer begins to play as Albert Hitchman, who is clutching the Interwire Championship, scurries into the ring. Andre is slow to rise, having gone through an absolute war with one of the best to ever live, but when he makes it to his feet, Hitch hands him the title and raises his hand.)
Flannery McCoy: Holy shit, guys. That match was absolutely insane. Scott Diamond and Andre Walker went to war in a match that was about so much more than the EAW Interwire Championship. It had become heated and personal, and in the end, it was Andre Walker who managed to get the win. He just flatout beat Scott there at the end, and now he is going to head to Pain for Pride with a chance to become a double champion.
Stew-O: Scott Diamond threw everything he had at Andre tonight, but it just wasn’t enough. It’s scary how good the reigning King of Elite and Interwire Champion is, and at this point, I’m not sure who will be able to stop him.
Jake Mercer: Believe me, either Viz or Cage are going to try. Whoever walks out of Grand Rampage as the EAW World Heavyweight Champion is going to make sure they keep Andre Walker from taking over EAW.
(Andre and Hitchman have left the ring, as Andre continues to hold up the Interwire Championship. Andre knows that he sent a huge message to every man and woman in the back who could possibly think of stepping up to him, and it was one hell of a message. Scott Diamond is sitting up in the ring and being checked on by the medical staff. The sight of that brings a smile to the face of Andre Walker and Grand Rampage slowly fades elsewhere.)
(Inside the ring stands Stephie Love, prepared to announce the next match!)
Stephie Love: The following singles match is scheduled for-
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stephie Love: And it is for the EAW World Heavyweight Championship!!!!!
(“Smells Like Teen Spirit” by Nirvana begins to play and the crowd can’t resist erupting into cheers as Cage makes his way out, looking ready to get to the match as he starts down the ramp and to the ring!)
Stephie Love: Introducing first the challenger, making his way to the ring from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada… weighing 230 pounds…. “Explicit Content” CAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: Cage returned looking to challenge The Visual Prophet for the World Heavyweight Championship, and it didn’t take long for things to seemingly get out of hand! Cage invaded Viz’s home and then did some digging into the Visual Prophet Leadership Academy, which seemed to shed some light on things.
Flannery McCoy: Like the kids he was attacked by at Viz’s command? I still don’t know if there’s ANY sense to be made of that!
Jake Mercer: It was definitely… something! But while no one saw any of it coming, I think that could mean Cage is dealing with more than he could handle here.
Stew-O: Cage is undoubtedly going to do his best to adapt to whatever goes on tonight in this Championship match – I know he’d love to become a World Champion again, and if Viz is going to try to push his limits, he’ll push Viz’s limits right back!
(As Cage enters the ring, “Back To Life” by Soul II Soul begins to play! The crowd erupts into boos as The Visual Prophet makes his way out into view, the Championship raised high over his head!)
Stephie Love: And making his way to the ring from Engadine, Michigan… weighing 265 pounds…. he is the current World Heavyweight Champion…. The Founder of the Visual Prophet Leadership Academy…. THE VISUAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLL PROOOOOOPPPPPPHHHHHHHHEEEEEETTTTTTTT!!!!
Stew-O: Viz clearly has no regrets over what happened on Dynasty, which is hardly saying anything since the sight was definitely something we hadn’t quite seen before – and certainly not something we’d expect from him! What does that do for this match?
Flannery McCoy: I think it means that just about anything could happen, and that Cage should anticipate anything happening. Viz isn’t someone that you can let your guard down against – he’ll take advantage of it and then there could be no coming back from that!
Jake Mercer: Because he’s the GOAT! Whatever the hell that was on Dynasty is just a distraction from the fact that he’s coming into this prepared to do what he’s going to have to do against Cage!
(The Visual Prophet enters the ring, the referee taking the World Heavyweight Championship over to ringside and calling for the bell there! But as soon as he does, Cage is already on the move!)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: CAGE TAKES RIGHT OFF AT THE VISUAL PROPHET, DARTING PAST THE REFEREE AND TO THE DEFENDING CHAMPION WITH A HUGE FOREARM TO THE FACE! CAGE IS ALREADY RATTLING THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION WITH SOME STIFF SHOTS!
Flannery McCoy: He gets Viz backed up against the ropes and Viz is ducked down for cover, hoping to avoid taking those direct hits but that just brings Cage to clobber him over the back! Cage looks to shoot the Champion across the ring but The Visual Prophet counters sending Cage running to the ropes, AND CAGE COMES BARRELLING OFF OF THEM WITH A HUGE CLOTHESLINE TO STRIKE VIZ DOWN! THE VISUAL PROPHET TRIES TO QUICKLY GET BACK UP BUT CAGE FLOORS HIM ONCE AGAIN, THIS TIME GRABBING HIM UP OFF THE MAT IMMEDIATELY AND GETTING A DOUBLE UNDERHOOK-
Jake Mercer: No! The Visual Prophet gets his arms out of the hold and tosses Cage overhead in a back body drop- CAGE LANDS ON HIS FEET?! HE REACHES AROUND TO GRAB VIZ BY THE WRIST AND SPINS HIM AROUND! “MURDER. DEATH. KILL.”!!! CAGE LUNGES FORWARD FOR THE SHORT-ARM LARIAT! HE’S LOOKING TO END IT EARLY!
Stew-O: THE VISUAL PROPHET DUCKS AROUND CAGE TO GET BEHIND HIM, CAPTURING HIM IN A WAISTLOCK BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX! CAGE GETS DROPPED RIGHT ON THE BACK OF HIS HEAD! A QUICK AND NECESSARY COUNTER BY VIZ JUST NOW TO STOP CAGE’S BURST OF MOMENTUM!
Flannery McCoy: After being attacked by the students of VPLA at Viz’s command, Cage clearly sought to end this unexpectedly soon as he surely isn’t interested in finding out what else the World Heavyweight Champion could have up his sleeve – and I don’t blame him! What happened on Friday Night Dynasty was absolutely bizarre!
Stew-O: It was certainly something that no one saw coming – having kids involved like that was truly something else and beyond strange with how they responded to The Visual Prophet at the snap of his finger.
Jake Mercer: Viz appeared to snatch control of the match away from Cage at the snap of a finger, as he put him down with that german suplex and has taken him over to the ropes where he’s using them to choke Cage! He’s standing on Cage’s upper back with a foot on the back of his neck while Cage’s neck is over the bottom rope, and he’s counting along with the referee after the ring official has given him multiple warnings to get off of him! He’s wrestling AND simultaneously showing his VPLA students how to count – what a multi-talented king :wow:!!!!
Flannery McCoy: The Visual Prophet breaks the count by coming off of Cage with a hop only to drop right back down onto his back with a senton! He brings all of his weight crashing down on Cage and the referee is right in Viz’s face as soon as he sits up to reprimand him for pushing the rules, but the Champion doesn’t care at all as he waves the referee off as if he’s some kind of unnecessary annoyance. Viz is up on his feet as he pulls Cage away from the ropes to his feet, lifting him into the air for a double underhook backbreaker!
Stew-O: Cage gets sent down carelessly across the knee of the Champion and shoved to the mat, getting a wicked kick to the middle of the back as he was left in a seated position! The Visual Prophet knocks him over with a disrespectful shove of his boot to the back of the challenger’s head, coming around to his side to land a kick to the ribs that forces Cage over onto his back and the World Heavyweight Champion goes throwing himself back into the ropes to get momentum going into a jumping splash!
Flannery McCoy: ONLY TO COME DOWN RIGHT ONTO CAGE’S KNEES! CAGE GETS HIS KNEES UP IN TIME! AND HE HOLDS ONTO VIZ TO TURN HIM OVER INTO A SMALL PACKAGE PIN!!!!
Referee: OOONNNEEE!!!
Referee: TTTWWWOOO!!!
Jake Mercer: Viz gets his shoulders up off of the mat :blessed:!!!
Flannery McCoy: He kicks out and tries to beat Cage up to a vertical base, but Cage gets him with a low dropkick to the knee! The Visual Prophet is brought down to kneel and Cage swiftly rises to go into the ropes, coming back with a low clothesline to take Viz completely to the mat! The Visual Prophet once again finds himself having to make a quick effort to get on his feet only for the former World Champion to catch him in a front headlock where he starts throwing knees up at the Champion’s face!
Stew-O: Those repeated knees seem to have Viz all kinds of thrown off as a final one nearly takes him off his feet and Cage comes through to capitalize with a snap suplex! But he doesn’t stop there as he floats over and drags Viz up to his feet right with him, LIFTING VIZ UP INTO THE AIR AND TAKING THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION FOR A RIDE ON A BRAINBUSTER RIGHT DOWN ONTO THE MAT!
Jake Mercer: :mjcry:!!!! THE VISUAL PROPHET GETS SPIKED RIGHT ON THE TOP OF HIS HEAD AND THE VPLA SURELY CAN’T BE ENJOYING WHAT THEY’RE SEEING RIGHT NOW! Cage is back in control and he’s stomping the hell out of The Visual Prophet while he’s got him down, looking to keep Viz off his game for as long as he can! Viz tries to wisely find reprieve from the assault being dished out by the challenger but Cage stays right after him, starting to club Viz as he makes it to the ropes and up to a knee in an effort to stand! The referee tries to get involved but Cage is relentless with these strikes and there’s concern on the official’s face that he might get caught in the crossfire!
Flannery McCoy: Cage isn’t taking any chances as he beats Viz over into the corner, where he hasn’t stopped pummeling away on the Champion! He’s throwing punches, he’s giving out forearms, he’s adding in knee strikes – Cage isn’t coming to play any games or get caught up in any himself! He whips The Visual Prophet across the ring into the opposite corner and charges in after him as soon as he hits the turnbuckles- LEAPING RIGHT INTO A BOOT FROM THE VISUAL PROPHET! VIZ COMES OUT OF THE CORNER WITH QUICK FOREARMS TO BACK CAGE TO THE MIDDLE OF THE RING, BUT CAGE ISN’T GOING DOWN WITHOUT A FIGHT AS HE TRIES TO STRIKE VIZ DOWN WITH SOME OF HIS OWN!
Stew-O: VIZ AND CAGE EXCHANGE BLOWS GOING BACK AND FORTH WITH ONE ANOTHER, KNOWING THAT SOMETHING HAS TO GIVE HERE! NEITHER ONE OF THEM IS CHOOSING TO BACK DOWN FROM THIS AS THEY KEEP THEMSELVES UP AT THE CENTER OF THE RING! CAGE- GETS HIS EYES RAKED BY VIZ AND THEN KICKED TO FALL BACK INTO THE ROPES! Viz seemed to know better than to try to exhaust that kind of energy on Cage this early in the match-up, and quickly found a way around that gritty attitude of Cage! The Visual Prophet looks to go capitalize- CAGE HAS THE AWARENESS TO GO POPPING HIM UP OVER THE TOP ROPE AND VIZ LANDS ON THE APRON! AND NOW VIZ- NO! A DROPKICK BY CAGE SENDS HIM DOWN TO THE FLOOR AT RINGSIDE!
Jake Mercer: The VPLA Founder may have hit with a nasty thud, but fear not, because he’s already pulling up on the apron to get to his feet- THAT FLOUR RANGER COMES SHOOTING THROUGH THE ROPES AND HE TAKES THE VISUAL PROPHET DOWN WITH A SUICIDE DIVE! HE NEVER EVEN GAVE HIM A CHANCE!
Stew-O: It doesn’t look like he’s intent on giving him one as Cage goes rolling back into the ring and runs across the ring! CAGE HITS OFF THE ROPES JUST AS VIZ IS GETTING UP ON THE OUTSIDE AGAIN, AND CAGE SOARS THROUGH THE AIR TO DRIVE VIZ BACK INTO THE BARRICADE NOW! CAGE COMES DOWN ON HIS FEET AND STARTS HAMMERING AWAY ON VIZ WITH HIM PINNED AGAINST THE GUARDRAIL AND SHOWS NO SIGNS OF LETTING UP AS HE’S GOT THIS CHEERING CROWD ON HIS SIDE AS HE TAKES THE FIGHT RIGHT TO THE VISUAL PROPHET!
Flannery McCoy: Cage grabs him by the head to rip him away from the barricade and takes him to the apron to slam his face off of it! The Visual Prophet looks to try to stumble away in the middle of the onslaught that Cage is delivering but he doesn’t let Viz get away, pulling him right back to slam his face against the apron once again! Cage pulls him into a side headlock as he points in the direction of the ring post and starts over-
Jake Mercer: CAGE GETS SENT FACE FIRST INTO THE RING POST! THE CHALLENGER COLLIDES WITH THAT STEEL POST AFTER THE VISUAL PROPHET ESCAPED FROM HIS GRASP, AND VIZ PULLS HIM IN TO HOIST HIM UP OVER HIS SHOULDER, RUNNING CAGE INTO THE POST HEAD FIRST NOW AS HE USES HIM LIKE SOME KIND OF BATTERING RAM!
Stew-O: Cage’s head has no doubt got to be rattled after that; that impact was sick! But unfortunately for Cage, The Visual Prophet doesn’t appear to be done with him! He’s ignoring the ring official’s calls to bring the action back into the ring while he’s still got Cage hanging over his shoulder, AND THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION TAKES OFF WITH A RUNNING START TOWARD THE CORNER OF THE BARRICADE WHERE HE PRACTICALLY SNAPS CAGE OVER IT WITH A POWERSLAM! CAGE IS LEFT HANGING WITH HIS LOWER BODY OVER ONE SIDE AND HIS OTHER HALF HANGING OVER THE OTHER!
Flannery McCoy: His back just might be totaled after that – I know he’s been through a whole hell of a lot worse, but that’s something that is surely going to take its toll!
Referee: ONE…
Referee: TWO…
Flannery McCoy: Cage seemingly hasn’t even tried to make a move to get himself down, and Viz finds himself with a moment to collect himself and regroup after it looked like his challenger here at Grand Rampage was about to keep lighting him up with that string of offense Cage was trying to build on.
Referee: THREE…
Referee: FOUR…
Stew-O: The current Champion grabs a seemingly lifeless Cage while he still remains hanging over the barricade- THE VISUAL PROPHET DRIVES CAGE DOWN TO THE GROUND ONTO THE BACK OF HIS HEAD WHILE HE HAD THE REST OF HIM OVER THE BARRICADE! VIZ TAKES HIM DOWN WITH AN INVERTED DDT RIGHT THERE ON THE RINGSIDE FLOOR, DOING MORE DAMAGE TO CAGE’S HEAD THAN WHAT HE’S NO DOUBT ALREADY CAUSED FROM MOMENTS BEFORE THAT!
Jake Mercer: As much as you want to question his antics on Dynasty, he’s still as ruthless as ever! He’s taking Cage’s body from off the ground and sending him into the ring, hooking the legs and we’ve got a pin :blessed:!!!
Referee: OOONNNEEE!!!
Referee: TTTWWWOOO!!!
Referee: TTTHHH-
Stew-O: A pin but not a three count! Cage kicks out and gets his shoulder up just in time!
Flannery McCoy: With Cage being as set as he was on wanting to take the World Heavyweight Championship in an effort to try to loosen whatever control or influence The Visual Prophet has in EAW and get himself another World Championship win, I can’t say I’m surprised to see him still fighting. But as Viz seems to have found a target on Cage to put his attention toward, it’s no doubt going to be difficult for him to get back into this!
Stew-O: Who knows what kind of damage was done from that unforgiving DDT he just suffered moments ago, but The Visual Prophet is just as aware of what he’s done after trying to put Cage’s lights out just like you said, Flannery, because he’s right back to focusing on battering Cage’s skull! Viz bashes at Cage’s head with heavy and hard right hands while he kneels over him, with Cage looking so out of it that he can’t even defend himself!
Jake Mercer: Viz drags Cage up to his feet and takes off toward the nearby corner in a run to drive the former World Champion into the turnbuckles! Shoulder thrusts aimed at Cage’s midsection are delivered in rapid succession with the Hall of Famer quite often getting taken off his feet as the Champion seeks to wear him down in the corner knowing that he’s got Cage in this defenseless state! He’s come this far since becoming the World Heavyweight Champion again and he knows that he can’t afford to slow down now with all of the VPLA students under his control- uh, eagerly watching!
Flannery McCoy: But there goes Cage starting to hit The Visual Prophet over the back in an effort to try to slow him down and fight his way out the corner! Cage is swinging down on the Champion’s upper back as he manages to capture Viz in a headlock to try to stall Viz’s momentum! Before he can do much though, Viz lifts him off his feet- CAGE KICKS OFF THE TURNBUCKLES BEHIND HIM TO SPIN OUT INTO A TORNADO DDT! NO! VIZ THROWS HIM OFF IN TIME AND CAGE NEARLY GOES FALLING OVER AS HE COMES DOWN ON THE MAT! HE RUSHES THE CHAMPION AND LOOKS TO TAKE HIM DOWN-
Stew-O: THE VISUAL PROPHET DUCKS DOWN AND LIFTS CAGE IN A QUICK OVERHEAD PRESS, DIRECTING CAGE RIGHT INTO THE CORNER WHERE HIS HEAD SNAPS BACK OFF THE TOP TURNBUCKLE AS HE COMES PLUMMETING DOWN! CAGE COLLAPSES IN THE CORNER AFTER COLLIDING WITH THAT TOP TURNBUCKLE AND HE’S DOWN ON THE MAT IN A HEAP AFTER THAT QUICK COUNTER FROM VIZ!
Jake Mercer: The kind of quickness that can only be taught and mastered at VPLA 😌
Flannery McCoy: After we’ve seen some of the VPLA facilities and how some of the kids ended up coming out of there to be used to attack Cage, I think we’re good on any advertising :mjpls:
Jake Mercer: Don’t you know that you can’t just believe everything you hear? 🙄
Flannery McCoy: We sat there together on Friday and watched it all go down :skip:!!!
Stew-O: What we’re watching now is the World Heavyweight Champion dominating Cage as these moments go by, showing off an impressive belly to belly throw that sends Cage across the ring! Cage comes crashing down on his back and his hands go right to covering his head as he turns over, Viz making his way over and stomping down on him before pulling back on the arms and slapping on a chinlock from over the back after slapping Cage over the head! With all of The Visual Prophet’s weight sitting on Cage’s back, Cage is about to find himself in a tough time trying to get out of this!
Flannery McCoy: As if the chance of being concussed wasn’t enough, now he’s got to fight his way out of this submission hold! Viz takes some time to taunt Cage while he’s got him trapped, still trash-talking and mocking Cage even after everything that’s already gone down and been said over the weeks since Cage made it known that he wanted to challenge Viz for the World Heavyweight Title.
Jake Mercer: Maybe he shouldn’t have tried to get involved in the VPLA’s business how he did and maybe it wouldn’t have got as bad as it did for him! Maybe he shouldn’t have broken into Viz’s home and destroyed so much of his stuff knowing Viz doesn’t fuck around! Did he ever think about ANY of that?! :mjpls:
Stew-O: Cage definitely had no problem throwing himself into those situations with no idea what the repercussions could be – especially, last week – but this match is something else entirely, and they surely both know that. I wouldn’t count Cage out with everything there is to consider; Viz clearly knows he’s still got his work cut out for him here to have Cage like this!
Flannery McCoy: The World Heavyweight Champion definitely hasn’t let up as he goes slamming Cage’s face repeatedly against the mat, preventing Cage from trying to make a reach for the ropes like he’d been aiming to somehow do! He’s pulled back up into a number of punches from overhead to the face and Cage tries to shake them off to try to position himself on the mat to push up off of it with Viz on his back! Cage struggles but slowly begins to rise, Viz still holding on while Cage tries to keep himself on his feet!
Stew-O: But Viz stomps down on the back of the knee and Cage goes down! There’s more taunting from Viz as he stands over Cage knowing that he isn’t going anywhere and that he’s got him right where he wants him, just before taking off to the ropes and coming back with a running knee to a rising Cage- BUT CAGE MOVES OUT OF THE WAY AND VIZ HITS NOTHING BUT AIR! VIZ GETS WHIRLED AROUND AND CAGE STARTS FIRING OFF PUNCHES! CAGE FINDS A BURST OF ENERGY AND IT COULDN’T HAVE COME AT A MORE BETTER TIME!
Jake Mercer: SHIT! THE VISUAL PROPHET LOOKS CAUGHT OFF GUARD AS CAGE CATCHES HIM IN THE FACE A NUMBER OF TIMES, THEN TAKING A HUGE FOREARM THAT GETS SMASHED AT HIM! VIZ GETS ROCKED AND SENT STUMBLING BACK INTO THE ROPES, COMING RIGHT OFF OF THEM INTO A KICK- NO! HAHAHAHAHAHA! HE CAUGHT IT :drakelike:!!!! HE HAS CAGE JUMPING AROUND ON ONE LEG, BUT CAGE TRIES TO LEAN IN AND TAKE A SWING CAUSING VIZ TO SHOVE HIM BACKWARD-
Flannery McCoy: CAGE TAKES HIM DOWN WITH A LARIAT! HE COMES OFF THE ROPES TRYING TO TAKE THE VISUAL PROPHET’S HEAD OFF! After a quick moment of trying to collect himself, Cage grabs Viz by the wrist and forces him up to a groggy vertical base with a number of punches before trying to whip the Champion across the ring, but Viz counters by holding on and pulling Cage around and up onto his shoulder! Viz takes off into the corner but Cage slides down his back to shove him forward to collide with the turnbuckles! CAGE FROM BEHIND THOUGH! HE PULLS VIZ RIGHT BACK INTO AN INVERTED HEADLOCK TO HIT A KNEELING BACKBREAKER AND POP RIGHT INTO A NECKBREAKER SLAM!! OLD SCHOOL EXPULSION!!!! CAGE WITH THE COVER!!!
Referee: OOONNNEEE!!!
Referee: TTTWWWOOO!!!
Stew-O: Viz kicks out! He goes rolling away from Cage moments after to the ropes and Cage is soon to follow as he goes for the legs, The Visual Prophet trying to shake him off so that he can’t keep a hold and he manages to kick him back so that he can get out onto the apron. A frustrated Cage stays in pursuit though as he goes to grab Viz only to catch a shoulder to the gut through the ropes! And with Cage just in front of him, Viz grabs him by the waist and LIFTS HIM UP TO DUMP CAGE OVER THE TOP ROPE OVER HIS BACK TO CRASH DOWN ON THE FLOOR AT RINGSIDE!!!!
Jake Mercer: BUT CAGE LANDS ON HIS FEET HAVING GRABBED ONTO VIZ ON THE WAY OVER! VIZ IS SURE TO HOLD ONTO THAT TOP ROPE SO THAT CAGE CAN’T PULL HIM AWAY- NO! CAGE IS HITTING AT THE LEGS AND TAKES VIZ OFF OF ONE TO GET IT OVER HIS SHOULDER! VIZ IS HOLDING ONTO THE TOP ROPE THE BEST HE CAN! BUT CAGE MANAGES TO RIP HIM AWAY AND NOW HE’S SOLELY HELD UP BY CAGE, WHO LOOKS TO GO THROWING THE VISUAL PROPHET INTO THE BARRICADE!!!
Flannery McCoy: VIZ ONCE AGAIN RAKES THE EYES THOUGH, AND HE GETS DROPPED DOWN TO THE GROUND! Cage turns away trying to adjust his vision and Viz finds himself with a moment of time to get himself up, coming from behind to roll Cage into the ring and Viz rolls in after Cage who’s already getting up to his feet knowing that he can’t give Viz a moment to strike! But still rubbing at his eyes, Cage turns around and Viz goes charging!
Stew-O: “KISS TO THE HEAD”- NO! CAGE EVADES IT AT THE LAST POSSIBLE SECOND AND THE VISUAL PROPHET MISSES A CRUCIAL SHOT JUST NOW! The World Heavyweight Champion turns around and walks right into a kick to the gut! Cage hooking the arms but Viz manages to stay on the mat before freeing up his arms and trying to run Cage back into the corner! But Cage goes over Viz in a sunset flip and the Champion rolls out of it trying for a dropkick just for Cage to roll out the way, the two of them having to meet on their feet with Viz deflecting a punch and connecting with a timely uppercut!
Flannery McCoy: Cage is nearly taken off his feet as he stumbles away from Viz and into the corner where Viz goes after him, throwing hits to subdue the Hall of Famer to the best of his abilities and it looks like he has it! Viz is able to lift Cage up and get him on the top turnbuckle with Viz starting to climb up in front of him and throwing shots to keep Cage at bay as he tries to get into position, BUT CAGE STARTS FIGHTING BACK! Cage realizes the position they’re in and it’s not looking to favor him as Viz tries to keep his balance!
Stew-O: The Visual Prophet stands on the middle rope while he’s got Cage throwing punches at him out of sheer desperation to end up on the receiving end of whatever he’s got planned! The World Heavyweight Champion tries fighting back but Cage is gaining momentum as he continues swinging, Viz reaching for him- CAGE GETS PAYBACK FOR THE EYE RAKES WITH ONE OF HIS OWN! HE GOUGES AT THE CHAMPION’S EYES AND STANDS UP ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE TO GRAB THE ARMS OF THE BLINDED CHAMPION! “WELCOME TO CANADA MOTHERFUCKER”!!!
Jake Mercer: BUT WE’RE NOT EVEN IN CANADA :noah:!!!
Flannery McCoy: NONETHELESS, CAGE GETS ALL OF THAT PEPSI PLUNGE AS HE DRIVES THE VISUAL PROPHET FACE FIRST INTO THE MAT!!!! VIZ IS LAID OUT IN THE RING AND CAGE TURNS HIM OVER ONTO HIS BACK TO MAKE THE COVER AS HE THROWS HIMSELF DOWN ONTO VIZ!!!!
Referee: OOONNNNEEE!!!
Referee: TTTWWWOOOO!!!
Referee: TTTHHHRRRR-
Jake Mercer: VIZ WITH THE KICKOUT :whew:!!!!
Stew-O: This is a huge moment in the match for Cage – if he can find an answer for defeating Viz here, he’d be leaving as the World Heavyweight Champion and looking at a headlining match at Pain for Pride in his future! He brings himself off of The Visual Prophet and he’s looking like he’s thinking of what more he’s got to do to secure exactly that spot for himself to become a World Champion for the third time in his career – and that’s the expression of a man who’s sure he can do it!
Jake Mercer: This commentary is starting to get too pro-Cage if you ask me. Are we not supposed to be unbiased commentators?!
Flannery McCoy: You’ve openly rooted for The Visual Prophet’s success this season too many times for me to even count :wtf:
Jake Mercer: I only report on the facts! Like how I’m not surprised that The Visual Prophet is very much still in this match because I have it on good authority that he literally draws on the support of his loyal VPLA students and fan base for actual extra energy in his matches – and clearly, Cage didn’t come prepared for how unstoppable Viz would be because of that :wow:!!!
Stew-O: :wow:!!! But Cage is definitely looking to dig deep himself to do whatever it’s going to take and as he gets himself up from the mat beside Viz, he looks set on what he’s got to do. Cage has brought The Visual Prophet with him, having the dazed Champion just in front of him and he’s getting back at him with trash-talking of his own too, and now he’s slapping Viz across the face! The World Heavyweight Champion is swaying on his feet as Cage smacks him again, this time coming at him with a backhand!
Flannery McCoy: Viz stumbles over to the ropes and Cage grabs him to whip him across the ring, but it turns out that Viz has his arm hooked around the top rope to keep himself from going anywhere! Cage tries to force it again but this time he gets a kick to the gut that stuns him and Viz comes off the ropes sending shots at Cage! Viz takes him down repeatedly with short-arm clotheslines before bringing him up at last, which is when Viz doesn’t hesitate to send a slap right back at Cage for what he’d gotten moments ago! That fires up Cage to swing at Viz for a clothesline, just for Viz to duck and shove Cage into the ropes to connect with a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker on the rebound!
Stew-O: Cage sits up grabbing at his back and going to the ropes to try to get support on his way up to his feet, but Viz isn’t giving him the time as he spears him from behind to take him to the mat! He’s insisting upon doing what more damage he can to tire Cage out, and he pulls Cage away in a headlock toward the middle of the ring when Cage realizes the predicament he’s in. He tries to free himself up by throwing shots into Viz’s back and side, shoving them off the ropes for the added momentum in pushing Viz off! Cage goes to approach- “IKE TURNER SPECIAL”!!!! THE SPINNING BACK FIST CONNECTS!!!
Jake Mercer: But Cage only drops to a knee?! He’s hardly able to keep himself up and Viz looks to go in to end it, fed up! Cage gets swept up off his feet and onto Viz’s shoulders! “PROPHET DRIVER”!!! CAGE GETS DRIVEN DOWN INTO THE MAT AS THE VISUAL PROPHET LEAVES HIS FEET TO TURN INTO IT, AND CAGE IS SPLAYED ON THE CANVAS!! VIZ GOING INTO TO RETAIN THE CHAMPIONSHIP :blessed:!!!!!
Referee: OOONNNEEE!!!
Referee: TTTWWWOOO!!!
Referee: TTTHHHRRREEE-
Stew-O: CAGE SURVIVES A BARRAGE OF MOVES FROM THE VISUAL PROPHET TO STAY IN THE MATCH!
Jake Mercer: :mjcry:!!!
Flannery McCoy: Viz sits up and looks to the referee, not at all satisfied with the count but the ring official tries to assure him that it was what he saw! The Champion gets up with Cage hardly stirring at his feet, and Viz starts stomping and kicking the hell out of the challenger! He doesn’t hold back as he repeatedly kicks his head and upper body, sending Cage rolling to the corner where he gets no relief from Viz’s frustrated aggression! The ring official is warning The Visual Prophet that he could be disqualified if he doesn’t bring the action out of the corner but his admonishment seems to fall on deaf ears as Viz only continues to keep it up!
Stew-O: The ring official makes the bold decision of getting between Cage and Viz, backing Viz out the corner with more warnings! But Viz is past caring as he charges into the corner- THE LOW DROPKICK MISSES AS CAGE PULLS HIMSELF OUT OF THE RING! VIZ CRASHES INTO THE TURNBUCKLES AS CAGE SAVES HIMSELF FROM WHAT COULD’VE BEEN A DISASTROUS IMPACT!!!
Flannery McCoy: Viz is down on the mat and Cage grabs his legs from outside the ring on either side of the post, AND PULLS VIZ SPLIT-LEGGED INTO THE RING POST! VIZ IS SEEMINGLY STUCK IN PLACE BEFORE CAGE PULLS HIM OUT FROM UNDER THE BOTTOM ROPE AND TO THE OUTSIDE, PUMMELING THE CHAMPION WHILE HE’S GOT HIM DOWN! Viz struggles to cover up while Cage is free to get the attack in on him and makes attempts to shove him away, Cage refusing to be deterred though as he kicks Viz across the ringside area into the barricade just ahead of them!
Jake Mercer: HE MISSES THE RUNNING KNEE!! VIZ DUCKS DOWN AND CAGE COLLIDES WITH THE BARRICADE!!! THE AWARENESS OF OUR WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION :drakelike:!!!! Cage hobbles away from Viz, who starts pulling himself up with the barricade and marches over to Cage to start trying to beat him down! Cage staggered after that collision he just had and Viz is looking to take full advantage of it as they near the steps, Viz shoving Cage backward right into the side of them!
Stew-O: But a worn Viz is a few moments too long to react as when he goes to grab a doubled-over Cage, he gets a kick to the gut! Cage landing clubbing blows over the back before he grabs the arms! “MERCY RULE” ON THE STEPS!!!! CAGE AND VIZ FALL ONTO THE FRONT OF THE STEPS WHEN CAGE GOES TO CONNECT, PLANTING THE VISUAL PROPHET RIGHT ON HIS HEAD!!!!
Flannery McCoy: A DESERPATION MOVE BY CAGE JUST NOW TO PUT THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION DOWN AND OUT! BUT CAGE IS DEFINITELY FEELING THAT ALSO, COMING DOWN ON HIS OWN BACK AND IT’S BEEN SUBJECTED TO BEING TARGETED AT POINTS THROUGHOUT THE MATCH!
(The referee leaves from the ring after all of the ignored warnings that a count out would start if they didn’t get back into the ring, and now he checks on the two fallen competitors. Cage is laying face down with a hand on his back and Viz appears to be totally knocked out as he hasn’t tried to move at all. The ring official is down going back and forth between the both of them, not at all anticipating Dr. Angelo D’Angelo coming down to ringside!)
Stew-O: This crowd is not at all pleased to see Dr. Angelo D’Angelo after the events that transpired on Dynasty!
Jake Mercer: He’s only here to check on the founder of the VPLA! He’s concerned! That deranged cac just tried to kill Viz just now – he’s got every right to be here!
Flannery McCoy: From what I can see, the referee is trying to get Angelo away from the scene despite Angelo’s persistent questions about The Visual Prophet’s condition. I doubt we’d be getting answers any time soon, though.
Stew-O: While Dr. D’Angelo argues with the ring official, Cage uses the steps to bring himself up and sit on the steps for a moment before seeing that The Visual Prophet is still down. He picks himself up and limps over to Viz to lift him off the ground, dragging him toward the ring-
Flannery McCoy: Dr. D’Angelo pushes past the referee to get over to Cage and tell him to unhand Viz, but Cage does his best to ignore him while calling for the referee to get back into the ring! He manages to roll Viz back into the ring but not without Angelo beside him still yelling at him, and Cage whirls around to yell in his face! Angelo quickly pleads with Cage not to do something he might regret!
Jake Mercer: HE LIVES :blessed:!!!!!! THE VISUAL PROPHET REACHES THROUGH THE ROPES AND PULLS CAGE BACK TO THE RING, SMASHING HIS FACE OFF THE APRON!!! Viz leans out to get Cage up onto the apron and into the ring under the bottom rope, pulling him up- BUT GETTING PUNCHES TO THE GUT! CAGE IS TRYING TO FIGHT HIM OFF AND AN UPPERCUT KNOCKS VIZ OFF OF HIM! WAIT, VIZ SPINS OUT OF IT AND CAGE MISSES! HIS BACK TO VIZ NOW AND VIZ PULLS HIM INTO A ROLL-UP FOR THE COUNT!!!!
Referee: OOONNNEEE!!!
Referee: TTTWWWOOO!!!
Referee: TTTHHHRRREEE!!!!
Stew-O: THE COQUINA CLUTCH!!!!! CAGE PULLS VIZ BACKWARD OUT OF THE ROLL-UP IN TIME AND CAPTURES HIM IN THE COQUINA CLUTCH!!!
Flannery McCoy: VIZ TRIES TO PRY AT THE ARM OF CAGE THAT’S WRAPPED AROUND HIS NECK! HE’S GOT HIM CAUGHT IN THE CHOKEHOLD AND VIZ IS STRUGGLING TO MAKE IT OUT! HE’S WAVING HIS ARM AROUND IN THE ARM AND REACHING OUT, PERHAPS FOR THE ROPES BUT IT’LL TAKE AN EFFORT TO GET THERE!
Jake Mercer: :mjcry:!!!!!
Stew-O: THE VISUAL PROPHET MANAGES TO TURN THEM OVER ONTO THEIR SIDE BUT CAGE STILL HAS IT LOCKED IN! VIZ CAN SEE THE ROPES BUT HIS WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE REIGN MAY BE SLIPPING AWAY! VIZ TRYING TO FIND A WAY TO DRAG THEM OVER TO THE ROPES TO PUT THEM WITHIN A GRABBING DISTANCE! VIZ MIGHT NOT MAKE IT, AND ANGELO IS FRANTICALLY YELLING ON THE OUTSIDE FOR THE CHAMPION TO MAKE IT TO THE ROPES!!!
Flannery McCoy: VIZ’S ARM IS DROPPING DOWN AS HE STRUGGLES TO GET A HOLD OF THE BOTTOM ROPE! ANGELO NOW TRYING TO PUSH THE BOTTOM ROPE CLOSER TO VIZ! HE GOT INVOLVED ON DYNASTY AND I’M NOT SURPRISED TO SEE IT HERE, EITHER! BUT THE REFEREE SEES HIM AND HE’S FORCED TO LET GO AND STEP BACK FROM THE RING, BUT STILL ARGUING WITH THE OFFICIAL! AND VIZ’S ARM HAS LOWERED EVEN FARTHER TO THE MAT, AND VIZ-
Jake Mercer: GETS HIS FOOT ON THE BOTTOM ROPE! VIZ MAKES IT! CAGE IS REFUSING TO LET GO! THE REFEREE DROPPING DOWN TO YELL AT HIM THAT HE’LL BE DISQUALIFIED IF HE DOESN’T RELEASE THE SUBMISSION! ONE… TWO… THREE… FOUR… FI- HE BREAKS IT!
Stew-O: Cage comes off of Viz slapping the mat, clearly upset with Viz getting to the rope! The referee backs him further away and Viz somehow has it in him to sit himself up against the ropes, Cage looking on pissed off! Cage pushes past the referee and goes right for The Visual Prophet while he’s down with kicks, letting his frustrations take over! Viz manages to get onto his knees to shove Cage back, nearly knocking the referee over in the process!
Jake Mercer: AND VIZ TAKES ADVANTAGE BY PULLING CAGE NECK FIRST INTO THE MIDDLE ROPE!! CAGE’S HEAD SNAPS BACK AND HE ROLLS AWAY GRABBING AT HIS NECK, HAVING BEEN CHOKED FROM FALLING INTO IT! Cage struggling to bring himself up to his feet as he’s coughing-
Stew-O: “KISS TO THE HEAD”!!!!! THE BULLHAMMER ELBOW STRIKE FROM THE VISUAL PROPHET TO CAGE’S HEAD CONNECTS!!! CAGE FALLS TO THE CANVAS AND VIZ DROPS DOWN INTO THE COVER!!!!
Referee: OOONNNEEE!!!
Referee: TTTWWWOOO!!!
Referee: TTTHHHRRREEE!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(“Back To Life” by Soul II Soul begins to play and boos come from the crowd as Viz sits up off of Cage, and he’s welcomed to the sight of Angelo having retrieved the World Heavyweight Championship from the timekeeper’s area to bring into the ring. He assists the Champion in getting to his feet, a proud grin on his face as he hands the Championship over to The Visual Prophet.)
Stephie Love: HERE IS YOUR WINNER, AND STILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL the EAW World Heavyweight Champion…… THE VISUAAAAAAAALLLLLLLL PROOOOOOOPPPPPPPPPPPPHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEETTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: Never doubted him for a second 😤!!!!!
Stew-O: The Visual Prophet looked to be in some trouble there against Cage as we came up on the end there, but the ever crafty and resourceful World Heavyweight Champion came through on another defense!
Flannery McCoy: Viz remains the World Heavyweight Champion in a hard-fought match, but I’m still not over what happened on Dynasty. What the hell was all that?! Where are the parents?! What the hell is going on?!
Jake Mercer: What’s going on is a celebration, as The Visual Prophet is still the World Heavyweight Champion :blessed:!!!
Stew-O: Cage certainly brought his best and that can’t be denied, even dealing with Angelo once again – I almost thought he’d get even more involved than he did! The Visual Prophet, however, was able to pull through and get it done – what more he’ll have in store for Dynasty though remains to be seen. I can’t even begin to imagine what we’ll be seeing him get up to next!
(The Visual Prophet and Dr. Angelo D’Angelo continue to celebrate in the ring, the World Heavyweight Championship still raised in the air despite the reception. On the sight of Angelo hyping Viz over his win tonight, the scene fades out into commercial break. )
( A commercial break airs the new Friday The 13th video game. It shows a livestroom clip of Harper Lee testing out the game and looking unperturbed by the horror genre. She uncontrollably laughs while she uses Jason Voorhees to chase Ronan Malosi, to where it shows alternate footage of Ronan Malosi screaming at the top of his lungs. )
( Grand Rampage returns from commercial break as Michael Belfort stands around backstage. )
Michael Belfort: What an absolute slobber-knocker as The Visual Prophet and Cage continue to prove themselves as top commodities here in Elite Answers Wrestling! In a hardly fought contest, The Visual Prophet’s EAW World Heavyweight Championship raged on. Grand Rampage is minutes away, ladies and gentlemen. We could possibly establish The Visual Prophet’s opponent at Pain For Pride 15 in less than fifteen hours. However! That is for us to watch and see. Until then, I am standing backstage of the Yankee Stadium. I bring to you a man who wrestled on day one of Grand Rampage, losing to SOSA Henderson in a grudge exhibition match. I bring to you none another, Xander Payne!
( The camera pans to the left, and approaches a sullen Xander Payne sitting on a storage box with his head down. Xander Payne looks up, waves and gives a stone cold grimace to Michael Belfort. )
Michael Belfort: Now, Xander. You have recently stated that you intend on being a two-time EAW World Heavyweight Champion. You even made the bold statement of sending a message to StarrStan in one of your promos this week where you said you wanted an opportunity. However, many have said that your current performances have not merited such a thing. Do you have any thoughts on these matters?
Xander Payne: Of course. You track me down, force this camera into my face, and give me a disrespectful question? Who do you think you are? What are your damn credentials? I am going to be generous and answer your question. In the past two months, all I heard is the criticism towards how I seem to lose all of the big matches. I couldn’t even at least beat Drake King because we fought to a draw. I couldn’t even beat the man that took months off of my career through Andre Walker. Tonight? I couldn’t even beat SOSA HENDERSON! OUT OF ALL THE PEOPLE! I COULDN’T EVEN BEAT SOSA HENDERSON! If you think about it, it took the entire season for SOSA Henderson to learn how to solve the rubix cube such as yours truly. But, that doesn’t matter. I am slowly beginning to understand the criticism, but I know that I need to keep my head up and stay stronger. I still have time, don’t I? I still have plenty of options, don’t I? Losing to a peasant like SOSA Henderson may bring down my credibility, but you all know that I am always one step ahead of myself. I am a man with a plan. I always got something up my sleeves. I am a Wrestling Genius. I am the Paynekiller. I am the Industry Titan. I am the Lifeline of this company. PEOPLE HAVE FORGOTTEN WHO I AM, AND THEY NEED TO REMEMBER WHO I AM! THEY NEED TO PUT RESPECT ON MY NAME! NO ONE IS ON MY LEVEL! DO YOU DIG THAT?
Xander Payne: ..Sorry, my therapist said I shouldn’t yell in these things. You want to know something, Michael? You aren’t going to ask anything more after this. SOSA Henderson will move on from this rivalry, get spanked by Ryan Adams, and he is going to be ushered right back to obscurity. I am going to move on from our rivalry, and will REANIMATE THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT GOD! The only man who could stop me from myself, and I am mentally and physically stronger than ever. Last night was a damn fluke. Last night is not going to be testament to what I do at Payne For Pride 5. Soon, I will be out of options. Soon, I will be out of time. But, I am going to make sure that I don’t reach that level. Michael, I am going to fix what happened last time. I don’t know how, but I will. …
Michael Belfort: How will you do that exactly?
( Xander Payne gets off the box, pushes Michael out of the way and angrily stomps down the hall. )
Michael Belfort; Well, there you have it! Xander Payne! More honest and passionate as ever! Well, I think we know what time it is! It is time to rampage, ladies and gentlemen!
(Grand Rampage returns from its final break of the night. It pans throughout a roaring crowd anticipating what everyone has all been waiting for. It cuts to the squared circle where legendary announcer Michael Buffer appears in the middle of the ring. )
Gavin Kirkland: My god! It is Bruce Buffer!
Persephone: Nope. Wrong one.
Michael Buffer: Ladies and gentleman, boys and girls! It is NOW TIME.. FOR THE FIFTEEN ANNUAL GRAND RAMPAGE MATCH!!!!
(The energy throughout the Yankee Stadium is second to none as they roar louder at the announcement.)
Michael Buffer: The rules are as follows.. two elitists will be in the ring to start the match with the objective to throw each other over the top rope. In order to be eliminated, each person’s feet must hit the floor. Every two minutes, a new person will enter the match, and the winner will receive A WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH OF THEIR CHOOSING AT THE FIFTEENTH ANNUAL PAIN FOR PRIDE!!
Michael Buffer: The time has come… EAW UNIVERSE… AREEEEE… YOU…. READY!!!!
( The crowd lets out a thunderous roar to show they are ready. The arena suddenly goes dark and a spotlight shines solely on Micahel Buffer. )
Michael Buffer: For the thousands in attendance, and the millions watching around the world.. live in The Bronx, New York…. Ladies and gentlemen……..
Michael Buffer: —–LEEETSSS GET READY TO RAMPAGGGGEEEEEE!!!!!
( The lights come back on as the sold-out attendance continues to be loud and clear with their emotions. “E-A-W” chants begin to reverberate throughout the Yankee Stadium. The camera now pans throughout various sections of the venue before it transitions to the ramp and focuses in on the stage. You could almost hear the buzz as everyone waits for who will be the unlucky Elitist to enter at number one? )
Stew-O: The entire world watches in anticipation to see who was the unfortunate individual who drew at number one. However, we saw Drake King place at this number and go the entire way. The chances of something like that ever happening again in the future are extremely slim, so it is always a disadvantage to be the first man to enter an extremely long match. We are talking about having the cardio, the stamina, the endurance to last through twenty-nine individuals. Drake King did do exactly that, albeit with the help of his former New Eden partners, so it will be interesting to see if something like that could repeat again.
Persephone: Don’t ever tell anyone I said this. I have heard news from several outlets such as JRFromNY206 that my love of the life may be returning in this match. I was backstage looking for him, but Elite Answers Wrestling most likely brought him out of a private bus with a black rag over his head. You know what that means guys? He might be coming back! Hopefully, he isn’t number one!
Gavin Kirkland: Like tomato stew mentioned, Drake King entered number one and won the entire thing. Entering at that position is the best way to set yourself up for failure in this match, but never say never for it. Drake King proved it wasn’t impossible, but it depends on who it’ll be. If it is Xander Payne or Cake Smith’s fatasses, they would be out of breath by the fifth entrant. As long as it isn’t a Showdown entrant, then we are all good. Bring her, him, or them out already! Let’s get ready to rumble. I mean rampage!
Persephone: Please. Please. Please. Please.
( The camera continues to pan throughout various crowd sections before focusing in on the Pain For Pride 15 sign. It comes full circle to where it shows Bella Braxton standing in the middle of the ring. )
Bella Braxton: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN… THE ELITIST WHO DREW NUMBER ONE THIS YEAR IS…
( The entire crowd waits in anticipation before “Natural” by Imagine Dragons reverberates throughout the Yankee Stadium. The theme song is immediately received with a resounding positive reaction, growing even louder as Terry Chambers jerks the curtain and marches onto the stage. Chambers smiles and poses on the stage before making his way down the ring. )
Bella Braxton: INTRODUCING FIRST… From Detroit, Michigan, weighing in at 257 pounds.. HE IS “THE BARBARIC CARNIVORE,” TERRRYY CHAMBERRS!!
Gavin Kirkland: …And the crowd goes mild!
Stew-O: Terry Chambers enters at the position of number one! Dynasty is in the building, and this is a competitor who I believe possesses the qualities needed to start at this position. Chambers is quick on his feet, he can hit like a train, and he has that endurance. Chambers had found some success in the Grand Rampage to where he competed in 2020 racking up four eliminations. He walked into last year’s Grand Rampage as the EAW World Champion, and he looks to walk out of tonight looking to finally get himself back at that throne once again. Terry Chambers is definitely a wildcard when it comes to these matches. He is an extremely volatile and versatile individual who is often overlooked. Chambers’ explosiveness is unmatched and it may come as an inconvenience to who will share the ring with him as the starting two. A Dynasty elitist starts this match, and now we pose a new question. Who will also unfortunately start right at the beginning of this long and grueling match? Voltage? Dynasty?
Gavin Kirkland: Yo, Persephone what’s the band that his theme song is made from?
Persephone: Imagine Dragons?
Gavin Kirkland: IMAGINE DRAGON MY NUTS ACROSS YOUR FACE! YA DUMB BITCH! HAHAHAH! I GOT HER!
Persephone: …. Childish.
( Terry Chambers paces back and forth in the ring as he demands for the second participant to get out. He calms himself down and crouches in the center of the ring. Everyone in the arena has their head turned towards the stage, murmuring and whispering about who they predict will kick off the fifteen annual Grand Rampage tonight.)
Bella Braxton: AND THE SECOND ELITIST!
(The Yankee Stadium immediately gets shaken with an ear-deafening pop as “44 Bulldog” by Pop Smoke begins to play. A subtle smirk overcomes the face of Terry Chambers as Chris Elite begins to walk onto the entranceway. Chris Elite appears calm and composed while he moseys down the ramp with the EAW Unified Tag Team Championship around the waist. He acknowledges some of the fans on his way while Terry Chambers continues to patiently crouch in the middle of the ring.)
Bella Braxton: AND HIS OPPONENT! From Brooklyn, New York, weighing in at 210 pounds.. HE IS ONE-HALF OF THE EAW UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS.. CHRISSSS ELITE!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: HA! HA! HA! HA! A DYNASTY AND VOLTAGE ELITIST STARTS THIS MATCH!! YOU BOTH ARE TOAST! Chris Elite and Terry Chambers are going to get thrown by the fifth entrant and that is such a shame! Just wait when Limommy comes out to the ring and absolutely dismantles everyone #LIMMYSWEEP #RATIO #SHOWDOWNCLEARSALL #FUCKYOUSTEW-OANDPERSEPHONE!
Stew-O: Oh no. You hurt my feelings.
Persephone: What did I ever do to you? Chris Elite is somewhat a decent competitor for Voltage to have entered at number two. I guess he is versatile, I guess he is resilient, and I guess he could last the entire way. I wouldn’t know because there isn’t a match of his where I don’t end up reclined on my chair, dreaming about Rexy Sexy. Chris Elite sucks and he is guilty by association for that. Honestly, can we just speed it up to number thirty already! Looking at what will be starting this match off is already making me asleep. Wake me up when this is all over, okay?
Gavin Kirkland: Oh, I will wake you up alright.
Persephone: Never mind.
(Terry Chambers gets up from his crouched position and implores Chris Elite to get this started. Elite continues to walk around ringside, before unbuckling the championship around his waist and holding it over his head at the top of the steel steps. Elite places the championship at the ringpost before getting off the steps and quickly sliding into the ring. The referees ringside signal for the bell as Chambers immediately goes for the legs of Chris Elite.)
( DING! DING! DING! )
Stew-O: THE FIFTEENTH EVER GRAND RAMPAGE MATCH IS UNDER WAY AS CHAMBERS QUICKLY PICKS UP CHRIS ELITE BY HIS LEGS AND IS ALREADY GOING FOR THE ELIMINATION! Terry Chambers obviously has the strength advantage in this match-up, so this is already a mismatch, but Chris Elite has excelled against adversity many times! Chambers thrusts Elite into the corner turnbuckles and is currently trying to elevate his legs over the top rope! Chris Elite counteracts his quick elimination attempt with downward elbows to the back of the head! That momentarily has Chambers away from him, and Elite tries to get away from the corner! BUT CHAMBERS SUDDENLY SWIPES AT HIS CHEST AND PUSHES HIM BACK INTO THE CORNER!! AND HE SWINGS FOR A KNIFE-EDGE CHOP!! ELITE DUCKS THE CHOP, BARELY EVADING WHERE HIS CHEST WAS ABOUT TO BE CAVED IN BY THE CHOP, AND HE CONNECTS WITH A JUMPING FOREARM SMASH TO THE JAW! CHAMBERS IS STUNNED AS IT IS NOW ELITE’S TURN TO ELIMINATE HIM!
Persephone: Terry Chambers looks up and sees Chris Elite jumping towards his direction! -!! ELITE! COME ON! CHAMBERS SNATCHES HIM IN MID-AIR AND TOSSES HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE WITH A I FIREMAN’S CARRY TAKEDOsWNs!! WAIT A SECOND! ELITE s USES THE ELEVATION TO GET HIS FEET ON THE TOP ROPE!! NO!! GET OFF OF THERE!! THIS IS HOW YOU GET ELIMINATED! CHAMBERS TURNS AROUND AND LOOKS UP!! AND ELITE WALKS THE TIGHTROPE, RUNS AND DELIVERS A ROPEWALK PENALTY KICK TO THE FACE OF CHAMBERS! CHAMBERS FALLS TO THE GROUND AS ELITE IS NOW PERCHED ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! AND HE FLIPS OVER FOR A 450 SPLASH!
Gavin Kirkland: CHAMBERS ROLLS RIGHT OUT OF THE WAY! Chris Elite lands on his feet like a cat, but HERE COMES CHAMBERS FROM BEHIND AS HE QUICKLY GRABS HIS TIGHTS AND THROWS HIM INTO THE ROPES! ELITE SPRINGS OFF THE TOP ROPE WITH THE BACK OF HIS NECK, AND HE RICOCHETS BACK INTO THE DIRECTION OF CHAMBERS!! CHAMBERS IS CAUGHT OFF GUARD AS HE GETS NEARLY TURNED INSIDE OUT BY A LARIAT COURTESY OF THE FORMER WORLD CHAMPION!! THE FINGER BLASTER STANDS TALL OVER THE EXCHANGE AS ELITE STUMBLES BACK INTO THE CORNER TURNBUCKLES.
Stew-O: Chris Elite patiently waits in the corner while Terry Chambers wakes himself up after that clobbering clothesline that took him off his feet. Chambers gets onto his feet off all fours whereas Elite immediately turns him around. Elite connects with two punches, follows it up with a shoot kick to the jaw, a back fist to the side of the head, and then he spins around for ANOTHER LARIAT!! CHAMBERS DUCKS UNDER THE ARM AND HE WRAPS HIS ARMS AROUND THE WAIST! AND HE CHUCKS HIM ACROSS THE SQUARED CIRCLE WITH AN OVERHEAD BELLY-TO-BELLY TOSS!! BUT CHRIS ELITE LANDS RIGHT ONTO HIS FEET!! WHAT THE?!?! I DON’T THINK I HAVE EVER SEEN ANYONE ESCAPE THE BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX LIKE THAT AS CHAMBERS IS CLUELESS!! AND CHRIS ELITE NOW REBOUNDS OFF THE ROPES!! AND CHAMBERS NOTICED AT THE LAST SECOND, BUT IS IT TOO LATE FOR HIM TO REACT NOW!?
Gavin Kirkland: ELITE LOOKS TO COMPLETE HIS FIVE BOROUGH COMBINATION OF STRIKES WITH THE CLOTHESLINE, BUT CHAMBERS GRABS HIS ARMS, TRAPS AND SWINGS HIM AROUND!! AND HE GOES FOR THE CHAMBERS OF PAIN!! DOUBLE UNDERHOOK DDT!! NO!! ELITE SPINS OUT OF HIS CLUTCHES!! AND CHAMBERS QUICKLY SWINGS FOR A CLOTHESLINE! Elite ducks the clothesline and runs the ropes! Chambers choreographs a back body drop! Elite rolls over his back and lands on his feet! He ducks Chambers by rolling into the ground! AND HE BACKFLIPS OVER FOR A LEG SCISSORS!!
Persephone: ELITE IS LOOKING FOR A BACKFLIP INTO THE HEADSCISSORS TAKEDOWN! CHAMBERS SIMPLY STEPS TO THE SIDE AND ELITE BACKFLIPS ONTO HIS FEET INSTEAD!! AND ELITE LOOKS AROUND TO WHERE CHAMBERS IS!! CHAMBERS COMES FROM BEHIND, TURNS HIM AROUND, AND ABSOLUTELY POUNDS THE LIVING SHIT OUT OF HIS UPPER CHEST WITH A KNIFE-EDGE CHOP!! OH MY GOD!! I THINK YOU COULD HAVE HEARD THAT ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE WORLD!! THE CHOP WAS LIKE A GONG AS EVERYONE AROUND US IN THE AUDIENCE SCREECHED AND CRINGED TO THE NOISE! ELITE GRABS HIS CHEST IN PAIN AS CHAMBERS NOW BRINGS HIM UP BACK UP TO HIS FEET!! AND FLOORS HIM WITH ANOTHER DEVASTATING KNIFE-EDGE CHOP!
Stew-O: Terry Chambers is treating the chest of Chris Elite like a cutting board! This is the ferocity of the Barbaric Carnivore that Chris Elite could not get away from! Chambers crouches right in front of him and toys with his head. He shoves his head away as he is perhaps trying to light a fire under the tag team champion as he now turns his back and runs the rope! AND HE GOES FOR THE CLAYMORE KICK! ELITE STEPS OUT OF THE WAY! CHAMBERS MISSED AND CRASHES DOWN ON HIS TAILBONE!
Gavin Kirkland: CHRIS ELITE FLIPS OVER AND FLATTENS HIS CHEST WITH A STANDING SHOOTING STAR PRESS! ABSOLUTELY MARVELLOUS AS ELITE NOW QUICKLY ROLLS FORWARD AND POSITIONS HIMSELF ONTO THE SECOND ROPE! AND HE FOLLOWS THE SHOOTING STAR PRESS WITH A PHOENIX SPLASH. NO! TERRY CHAMBERS PULLS DOWN ON HIS LEG AT THE LAST SECOND. Elite just snapped his head off the top turnbuckle as Terry now holds him from the front. AND HE THROWS HIM ACROSS THE RING LIKE A RAGDOLL WITH AN OVERHEAD BELLY TO BELLY! ELITE COULDNT GET OUT OF THAT AS TERRY ACCOMPLISHED RIDICULOUS DISTANCE WITH THAT! CHAMBERS IS HUFFING AND PUFFING AS ELITE STRETCHES HIS BACK IN PAIN!
Stew-O: Chambers marches towards Elite and goes to grab his left leg. ELITE WITH A KIP-UP HURRICANRANA! CHAMBERS IS CAPSIZED AS HE GETS UP TO HIS FEET TO A RAPID-FIRE BHRIS! AND BHRIS FLOORS HIM COMPLETELY WITH A DROPKICK THAT SENDS HIM INTO THE ROPES! ELITE NOW LEAPS ONTO CHAMBERS! WILL THIS TAKE HIM OUT! NO! CHAMBERS CATCHES HIM AND HOLD HIM ON HIS SHOULDERS! AND HE HOISTS HIM UP INTO THE AIR! ELITE HOPS OFF HIS SHOULDERS AND PUSHES HIM TOWARDS THE OTHER SIDE OF THE RING! CHAMBERS REBOUNDS WHILE ELITE RUNS PAST HIM AND DOES THE SAME! CHAMBERS POPS HIM UP INTO THE AIR! ELITE TAKES ADVANTAGE OF THE ELEVATION AND IS ABLE TO POP HIM IN THE JAW WITH OPEN YA MATA! HE COULD HAVE DISLOCATED HIS JAW RIGHT THERE WITH THE JUMPING KNEE STRIKE AS CHAMBERS IS DOWN!
Persephone: Chris Elite now rallies The Bronx behind him as he turns his head towards the stage waiting for the third entrant! Chambers is slumped against a turnbuckle, recovering from the knee strike that shattered the jaw that was once home to a quadruple chin! Elite won the big exchange as the clock is now beginning to countdown!

Persephone: OH MY GOD!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME!! MY LOVE IS BACK!
( “Helix” by Vahkhtang blasts through the speakers as a wave of mixed reaction sweeps across the Yankee Stadium. Lisa Wren steps onto the entranceway and immediately rushes down the apron. She walks up the steel steps and quickly climbs onto the top turnbuckle. )
Persephone: YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME… LISA, WREN DID I ASK?!?!
Stew-O: LISA WREN ENTERS IN AT NUMBER 3! SHE LEAPS OFF THE TOP TURNBUCKLE ONTO CHRIS ELITE!! ELITE ROLLS UNDER AND WREN LANDS AND ROLLS INTO THE CENTER OF THE RING!! LISA WREN AND CHRIS ELITE COLLIDE INTO THE CENTER OF THE RING AS THEY EXCHANGE LEFTS AND RIGHTS! ELITE IS BEGINNING TO OVERPOWER WREN BEFORE SHE GETS A HANDFUL OF THE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS EAR! WHAT THE!?! WREN YANKS HIM BY THE EAR AND CONNECTS WITH A KICK TO THE MIDSECTION!! WREN NOW IRISH WHIPS ELITE IN TO THE ROPES!! AND ELITE REBOUNDS OFF AS WREN LOOKS TO RECEIVE THE HALL OF FAMER OFF THE ROPES!
Gavin Kirkland: LISA WREN CHOREOGRAPHS AN ARM DRAG! CHRIS ELITE FLIPS FORWARD, ROTATES AND TAKES HER DOWN BY HER OPPOSITE ARM!! AND SHE NOW ROLLS LISA WREN THROUGH INTO A FISHERMAN CLUTCH MOTION AND HOISTS HER OFF THE GROUND!! AND BLASTS WREN INTO THE CENTER OF THE RING WITH A SENSATIONAL DEADLIFT RELEASE FISHERMAN SUPLEX! I AIN’T GONNA CAP, BRO! I DON’T LIKE THIS BALD-HEADED BITCH, BUT HE IS A HUMAN HIGHLIGHT REEL! WREN ROLLS BENEATH THE BOTTOM ROPE AND LITERALLY DUMPS HERSELF ONTO THE RINGSIDE FLOOR!

Persephone: TERRY CHAMBERS EMERGES FROM HIS FEET AND TURNS CHRIS ELITE AROUND! ELITE INSTINCTIVELY STUNS CHAMBERS FROM OUT OF NOWHERE WITH A BACK ELBOW TO THE FACE! CHAMBERS IS STUNNED AS ELITE NOW REBOUNDS OFF THE ROPES! CHAMBERS IS FASTER AS HE RUNS PAST HIM! AND HE REBOUNDS OFF THE ROPES! AND HE GOES FOR A CLOTHESLINE!! ELITE STANDS TO THE SIDE, CONNECTS WITH A KICK TO THE LEFT LEG BEFORE FOLLOWING IT UP WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO THE CHEST, FOLLOWED BY A SWIFT ONE TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD! CHAMBERS AND ELITE ARE STILL GOING AT IT AS ELITE NOW GRABS HIS HEAD!! AND HE HOOKS HIM UP IN A HAMMERLOCK POSITION!! AND HE GOES FOR THE HAMMERLOCK DDT! I THINK HE CALLS THAT THE FACE VALUE OR WHATEVER THAT MEANS, HOWEVER CHAMBERS QUICKLY USES HIS POWER TO FORCE ELITE INTO THE CORNER TURNBUCKLES!
Stew-O: The Barbaric Carnivore begins to thrust Chris Elite into the corner turnbuckle with his left shoulder! He puts his entire upper body into these shoulder thrusts as LISA WREN NOW REACHES BENEATH THE BOTTOM ROPE FROM RINGSIDE AND TRIES TO GRAB CHAMBERS’ FOOT! Chambers brings his foot away from her hands as he momentarily stares down as Wren! Wren with a smile on her face as she is all the way down at ringside avoiding the Grand Rampage shenanigans! AND ELITE WITH AN UPPERCUT TO THE JAW THAT KNOCKS TERRY CHAMBERS OUT! THE DICKEATERY STOPPER AS ELITE LOOKS DOWN SHOCKED AT WHAT HE JUST DID!! AND NOW ELITE GOES OVER TO TRY AND GRAB CHAMBERS TO ELIMINATE HIM!
Gavin Kirkland: HERE COMES LISA WREN YET AGAIN! AND THE OPPORTUNIST WITHIN HER COMES FROM BEHIND AND SLIDES CHRIS ELITE BENEATH THE BOTTOM ROPE!! AND LISA WREN THROWS CHRIS ELITE FACE FIRST INTO THE STEEL STEPS!! AND WREN KICKS HIS HEAD INTO THE RINGPOST FOR GOOD MEASURE! WREN IS PICKING HER TIME, AND THIS IS BRILLIANT!! I AM MORE FOCUSED ON HER BLACK CHOCOLATE THUNDER THIGHS AND BOOBIES AS NOW WREN SLIDES BACK INTO THE RING AND STALKS CHAMBERS LIKE ECLIPSE DEIMOS IN A PLAYGROUND!
Persephone: Lisa Wren sees Chambers struggling to get up to his feet after that Mike Tyson style uppercut to the jaw! AND SHE WALKS OVER AND TRIES TO TOSS CHAMBERS OVER THE TOP ROPE! LISA WREN IS PUTTING EVERYTHING SHE GOT INTO LEANING CHAMBERS OVER THE TOP ROPE, BUT I DON’T THINK IT IS WORKING! THERE IS LIKE A 100+ LBS DIFFERENCE IN BETWEEN THEM AND WREN NOW CHANGES DIRECTION AND NOW RUNS THE ROPES! LISA WREN MIGHT FINALLY BE RELEVANT IF HE ELIMINATES THE FORMER FATASS!! BUT CHAMBERS BRINGS DOWN THE TOP ROPE!! LISA WREN HOLDS ONTO THE SECOND ROPE ON HER WAY DOWN!! AND CHAMBERS NOW GO FOR THE HEADBUTT! MOMENT OF SILENCE!! NO! WREN DUCKS ON THE APRON AND CHRIS ELITE JUMPS ONTO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE!

Chris Elite is momentarily stunned on the top turnbuckle, but Chambers aims to finish what he started with Lisa Wren before him! WREN USES THE ROPES TO SLIDE INTO THE RING AND UNDER HIS LEGS! AND WREN DRIVES THE FORMER WORLD CHAMPION DOWN WITH A RUNNING JUMPING SITOUT JAWBREAKER! Chambers clutches his jaw in agony as he backs up towards the corner that Chris Elite is tangled in!

LISA WREN IS SLUMPED UP TO THE CORNER AS NOW CHAMBERS QUICKLY CLIMBS TO THE SECOND TURNBUCKLE TO TRY AND SHOVE HIM OFF THE TOP TURNBUCKLE!!
Persephone: NUMBER ONE AND TWO GOING AT IT, BUT ELITE SPREADS HIS ARMS AND CHOPS THE LEGS OF CHAMBERS! CHAMBERS LOSES BALANCE, LANDS COCK FIRST ONTO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE AND HE IS NOW TANGLED IN A TREE-OF-WOE POSITION!

CHRIS ELITE LEAPS OFF THE TOP TURNBUCKLE, LANDS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING AND RUNS TOWARDS THE OPPOSITE TURNBUCKLE AND BACK!! AND HE CHARGES TOWARDS THE ENTANGLED TERRY CHAMBERS AND LISA WREN!!

HAWK EM’ CONNECTS TO BOTH INDIVIDUALS AS CHRIS ELITE ROLLS BACK INTO THE CENTER OF THE RING!
Persephone: Chris Elite begins to shove his foot into the face of Lisa Wren as the clock has begun to count down!
10..9..8..7..6..5..4..3..2..1…

( The venue is filled with a monsoon of boos as “POA” By Future begins to play. Jay Jerry Johnson methodically strolls down the ramp with his hands behind his back as he chuckles as an answer to the discontent of the New York City audience. Chris Elite’s face is overcome with disappointment, but he continues to focus on trying to bring Lisa Wren over the top turnbuckle, which is met with huge resistance from Lisa Wren. )

CHRIS ELITE NOW GOES AROUND THE WAIST, HOLDS ONTO HIS WRIST! AND HE PULLS HIM IN WITH THE RIPCORD!! AND SLAPS THE LIVING SHIT OUT OF HIM!!
Gavin Kirkland; I’LL SMACK THE SHIT OUT OF YAAAAA!!
Stew-O: THAT OPEN-HAND SLAP TO THE FACE LITERALLY TOOK TRIPLE J OFF HIS FEET AND NEARLY FOLDED HIM LIKE AN ACCORDION! JOHNSON PROPERLY DON’T EVEN KNOW WHERE HE IS AND WHAT HE IS DOING RIGHT NOW AS A RESULT OF THAT DEVASTATING SLAP!

( “Elevate” by DJ Khalil blasts through the speakers with a mild mixed reaction in response. Amir Yusuf walks out onto the entranceway and opens his palm in front of the camera in his signature pose. He takes off his special LED mask and glove before immediately running down the ramp and towards the squared circle. )
Stew-O: Amir Yusuf enters his first ever Grand Rampage match at the position of number five! He leaps onto the apron and enters this match through the ropes!

Gavin Kirkland: NO!! WE WRESTLE!
Stew-O: Chris Elite now focuses on bringing Jay Jerry Johnson over the top rope! Both Chris Elite and Terry Chambers have so far held their own starting at their respective starting positions.

(Suddenly “Walk” by Avenged Sevenfold starts to blast through the arena as the crowd cheers. Bryan Coffey walks out and looks around as he makes his way to the ring and takes his time doing it.)
Stew-O: BRYANT COFFEY HAS RETURNED! HE IS BACK AFTER MISSING SOME TIME AND HE IS IN AT NUMBER 10! WE ARE A THIRD OF THE WAY THROUGH THE GRAND RAMPAGE AND HE IS TAKING HIS SWEET ASS TIME!
Persephone: WILL YOU HURRY UP ALREADY! WHY IS THIS GUY TAKING FOREVER TO GET TO THE RING AND WHAT IS IT WITH HIS HAIR!?
Gavin Kirkland: WELL WHILE YOU TWO ARE CONCENTRATING ON HIM MAKING HIS WAY TO THE RING, LIANA DELION ALMOST HAS JAY JERRY JOHNSON OUT AND HE WOULD BE THE SECOND ELIMINATION SO FAR! JAKE SMITH AND RULER ARE STILL DOWN, TERRY CHAMBERS IS TRYING TO GET BACK UP AS HE STARTED THIS MATCH WITH CHRIS ELITE AND BOTH MEN ALREADY LOOKED GASSED! HERE COMES BRYANT COFFEY! HE IS FINALLY HERE AND IT’S TUESDAY ALREADY!
Stew-O: COFFEY IS IN THE RING AND HE RUNS RIGHT TO LIANA, SHE TURNS BUSAIKU KNEE! LIANA DELION DROPS TO THE MAT AND JERRY JOHNSON FALLS OVER THE ROPES BUT HE HANGS ON! COFFEY SCOOPS UP LIANA AND DUMPS HER OVER THE TOP ROPE AND TO THE FLOOR!
Bella Braxton: LIANA DELION HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!
Persephone: THE SECOND ELIMINATION HERE BY THE GUY WITH THE HAIRDO AND WE ONLY HAVE 27 MORE TO GO! HOW FUN, EXCITING AND ABSOLUTELY AGGRAVATING RIGHT NOW! HAIRDO IS GOING AFTER JAKE SMITH! THE MAN WAS DOWN, THOUGH I CAN FIND IT FUNNY HE HAS BEEN IN THERE THE LEAST AND ALREADY GETTING HIS ASS KICKED! HAIRDO IS PICKING HIM UP AND HE IS READY TO DELIVER THE URANAGE SUPLEX BUT …. NO! CHRIS ELITE FROM BEHIND, GERMAN SUPLEX BUT HAIRDO KEEPS THE GRIP ON JAKE AND THEY ALL THREE GO OVER IN STEREO SUPLEXES! THAT WAS FUN!
(The crowd explodes in cheers as all three wrestlers are laid out on the mat, just as Solomon Stane is back up he sees Jay Jerry Johnson struggling to get back to his feet on the apron, he charges…)
Stew-O: SOLOMON CHARGES IN WITH A HUGE MAFIA KICK TO TRY AND TAKE OUT JAY JERRY JOHNSON! NO! JOHNSON DROPS TO THE MAT AND THE MOMENTUM TAKES SOLOMON OVER BUT HE HANGS ON, RULER OUT OF NOWHERE CLOTHESLINE SOLOMON BUT HE FALLS BACK INTO THE RING! RULER NOW IS TRYING TO PUSH TRIPLE J OUT TO THE FLOOR AS HE HANGS ON FOR DEAR LIFE BUT LOOK AT AMIR YUSUF! HE IS CLIMBING THE TOP ROPE AND THAT IS DANGEROUS TERRITORY BUT HE IS TRYING TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE HAIRCARE KINGS AND BRYANT COFFEY WHO ARE DOWN ON THE MAT AND AMIR LAUNCHES! FROG SPLASH ON CHRIS ELITE AND JAKE SMITH! AMIR IS BACK UP….
Gavin Kirkland: RUNNING SWINGING NECKBREAKER BY TERRY CHAMBERS AS HE HAS RECOVERED AND AMIR IS DOWN! LOOK AT TERRY ALL OVER AMIR AS HE IS RAINING PUNCHED ON HIM OVER AND OVER! TERRY WAS THE FIRST MAN OUT AND WE ARE TEN DEEP, TWO ELIMINATIONS ALREADY IN LISA WREN AND LIANA DELION! TERRY IS TRYING HIS BEST TO KEEP THAT CONDITION, EVER SINCE HE LOST ALL THAT WEIGHT AND GOT SURGERY ON HIS NOSE THANKS TO OUR FAVORITE DOCTOR HE HAS BEEN ABLE TO GO DEEP INTO MATCHES! BEFORE HE WOULD HAVE BEEN ELIMINATED BY ENTRANT NUMBER THREE!
Persephone: EVERYONE REMEMBERS FAT TERRY AND IF THAT BITCH EVER DID SOMETHING RIGHT IT WAS MAKE SURE HE LOST WEIGHT! RULER THOUGH IS DRIVING HIS LEGS INTO JAY’S CHEST, HS IS TRYING TO PUSH HIM OUT! JAY IS HANGING ON, I MEAN COME ON DUDE GIVE IT UP ALREADY! WE HAVE ONLY HAD TWO ELIMINATIONS! PUSH HIM OUT RULER! PUSH HIM OUT! RULER HAS JAY JERRY JOHNSON ALMOST OUT BUT NO…. SOLOMON STANE WITH A HUGE LEG DROP ON RULER AND HE JUST SAVED JAY JERRY JOHNSON, DAMN IT!
Stew-O: RULER IS NOW GETTING STOMPED BY SOLOMON STANE THIS IS GIVING JAY JERRY JOHNSON THE CHANCE TO GET BACK INTO THE RING AND HE IS SAFE FROM ELIMINATION! BUT HE IS NOT SAFE AS HE GETS BACK UP AND IS STARING IN THE EYES OF TERRY CHAMBERS! JAY DROPS TO HIS KNEES! BEGGING TERRY TO GO EASY ON HIM BUT TERRY IS ABOUT TO POUND AWAY ON HIM AND LOW BLOW! LOW BLOW ON TERRY AND NO MATTER HOW BIG AND STRONG YOU ARE, A HIT TO THE JEWELS WILL DROP ANY MAN AND JAY NOW WITH THE OFFENSE! HE IS CHOKING TERRY CHAMBERS AND THERE ARE NO RULES IN THE GRAND RAMPAGE!
(Chris Elite is finally getting back to his feet, he starts helping Jake Smith up at the same time while Coffey is already up with the help of the ropes, he finds his target as Amir Yusuf is back up as well….)
Gavin Kirkland: BUSAIKU KNEE BY COFFEY! NO! AMIR YUSUF DUCKS AND COFFEY LANDS HARD ON HIS BACK! HE IS BACK UP AND STEP UP ENZINGUIRI BY AMIR YUSUF BUT COFFEY DUCKS THAT ONE AS WELL, AMIR IS UP, BUT NO! COFFEY HITS THE URANAGI SUPLEX AS AMIR LANDS ON HIS HEAD AND IS FOLDED FLYING THROUGH THE ROPES AND TO THE FLOOR! HE IS NOT ELIMINATED AS HE DIDN’T GO OVER THE TOP ROPE! COFFEY IS BECK UP AND HE TURNS…. ANOTHER MATA MATA THIS TIME ON COFFEY AS HE GETS HIS BELL RUN AND THE HAIRCARE KINGS ARE BACK IN THIS GAME, THEY GO AFTER JAY JERRY JOHNSON WHO QUICKLY RUNS AROUND THE RING AND INSTEAD THEY SEE TERRY CHAMBERS ON THE MAT, THEY LOOK AT EACH OTHER AND SHRUG THEIR SHOULDERS…. THEY ARE STOMPING THE HELL OUT OF TERRY CHAMBERS!
Persephone: OH MY GOODNESS WILL SOMEONE GET THROWN OUT PLEASE! WE HAVE SOLOMON STANE RAMMING HIS BOOT INTO THE THROAT OF RULER! WE HAVE AMIR HERE LYING ON THE OUTSIDE BEING DAMN LAZY. WE HAVE TRIPLE DIPSHIT HERE RUNNING AROUND LIKE A SCALDED DOG AND NOW THE HAIRCARE KINGS ARE BEATING UP HAIRDO WHO ACTUALLY HAS NICER HAIR THAN JAKE SMITH. I MEAN COME ON! SOMEONE GET THROWN OUT PLEASE AND…. OH WAIT…. HERE WE GO WITH ENTRY NUMBER 11!
10..9..8..7..6..5..4..3..2..1…
BUZZ
(Martyr by Yasuharu Takanashi/YAIBA starts to play as Cloud Stryfe walks out and quickly runs to the ring, the crowd cheers, as he slides, the first person to greet him is Solomon Stane who runs at him….)
Stew-O: DYNASTY’S OWN CLOUD STRYFE IS IN THE GRAND RAMPAGE NOW AND SOLOMON STANE QUICKLY GOES FOR A CLOTHESLINE BUT CLOUD DUCKS, HE BOUNCES OFF THE ROPES AND STRAWBERRY RIPTIDE! WHAT A LARIAT AND SOLOMON GOES DOWN LIKE A TON OF BRICKS! PELE KICK BY CLOUD TO RULER WHO WAS JUST GETTING BACK TO HIS FEET! DROPKICK BY CLOUD ON JAKE SMITH! ANOTHER TO CHRIS ELITE! CLOUD STRYFE HAS COME IN HERE A HOUSE OF FIRE!
Persephone: THIS IS GREAT! ANOTHER GUY WITH FABULOUS HAIR! MAYBE HE TOO CAN ELIMINATE SOME PEOPLE NOW AND MAKE THIS MATCH SO MUCH MORE INTERESTING! JAY JERRY JOHNSON SLIDES BACK INTO THE RING, HE CLUBS CLOUD STRYFE IN THE BACK! JAY WITH A SNEAK ATTACK AND I LOVE IT! BEAT HIS ASS AND THROW HIM OUT! AT THIS POINT I WANT SOMEONE TO GET THROWN OUT LIKE RIGHT NOW! JAY IS ALL OVER STRYFE AND NOW RULER IS UP, HE BEHIND JAY, SPINNING HIM AROUND…. THE WILL OF NICHOLAS! THE DDT AND YES HE IS DEAD! PICK HIM UP AND THROW HIM OUT!
Gavin Kirkland: NO! RULER RIGHT WHEN HE WAS BACK UP TO HIS FEET, HE COMES AMIR YUSUF HOPPING ON THE APRON AND HE HOPS OFF THE TOP ROPE WITH A SPRINGBOARD SPINNING REVERSE KICK ON THE BUTTON HITTING RULER ON THE FACE AND KNOCKING HIM DOWN! THE BEAUTY ABOUT THE GRAND RAMPAGE IS THAT THE ACTION IS CONTINUOUS AND RIGHT NOW WITH NINE WRESTLERS IN THE RING AND ONLY TWO ELIMINATIONS SO FAR THE REAL ESTATE INSIDE THE RING IS STARTING TO GET THINNER AND THINNER!
(Ruler and Jay Jerry Johnson are down, Solomon Stane is in the corner trying to recover, The Haircare Kings are back up and picking their shots while Amir Yusuf is slowly getting to his feet, Coffey is also recovering from the double team, Terry Chambers is using the ropes to get back in the match…)
Stew-O: We are starting to see the effects of the Grand Rampage and the toll it has taken on so many of the competitors. Terry Chambers and Chris Elite started at numbers one and two, we just had entry number 11 and are a little over a third of the way through the Grand Rampage and the prize? A Main Event spot at Pain for Pride! There are still so many left to go, these Elitists have to survive 18 more entrants and you can see that fatigue is starting to take its toll. They have no relented from each other, they have not stopped from trying to basically murder one another for the chance to be int he Main Event and so far only two eliminations.
Persephone: And they need to pick up the pace, get better conditioning coaches and start taking shorter breaths because right now this is getting stupid! Look how many people are in the ring already and it is only going to get even more crowded! I mean, I hate to say it, but we kinda need some of these losers to start banding together and eliminating fools!
Gavin Kirkland: And it looks like the rest period is over, The Haircare Kings go right after Amir throws some lefts and rights but Elite and Smith are clubbing him, they are wearing him down with kicks and punches BUT HERE COMES COFFEY! FOREARM TO THE BACK OF JAKE! ANOTHER TO CHRIS ELITE! THEY BOTH TURN AND GO AFTER COFFEY, STEREO KICKS TO THE GUT, DOUBLE SUPLEX ON COFFEY AND HERE COMES AMIR… HE GETS CAUGHT BY JAKE SMITH IN A BEAR HUG AND LARIAT BY CHRIS ELITE! THE KINGS ARE WORKING TOGETHER AND IT’S FABUL….. DOUBLE CLOTHESLINE BY TERRY CHAMBERS AND HE ALMOST TOOK BOTH OF THEIR HEADS OFF! TERRY CHAMBERS WITH A PRIMAL SCREAM AND HE JUST TOOK THEM TO THE SHED! SOLOMON STANE THOUGH RUNS AT TERRY WITH A HUGE BOOT, TERRY CATCHES IT AND SPINS STANE AROUND, HEADBUTT!
Stew-O: THAT HEADBUTT ECHOED AND SOLOMON STANE IS WOBBLY ON HIS HEAD, AHD TERRY GETS SOME DISTANCE, HE RUNS AT HIM… RANDOM ACTS OF VIOLE…. NO! STANE SIDESWIPES, TERRY LANDS ON HIS BACK! HE IS UP AGAIN AND LOOK OVER AND GETS KICKED IN THE FACE AND TERRY GOES OVER THE TOP ROPE!
Persephone: DAMN IT! HE HUNG ON! HE HANGS ONTO THE ROPES AND STANE CAN’T BELIEVE IT, I CAN’T BELIEVE IT EITHER! STANE IS TRYING TO PUSH TERRY OUT! HE IS KICKING HIM IN THE STOMACH! DO IT HARDER I MEAN SERIOUSLY! NO… NO! HERE COMES CLOUD STRYFE! JUMPING ON THE BACK OF STANE AS HE LETS GO OF TERRY! WHY!? WHY LET GO!? CLOUD IS TRYING TO CHOKE SOLOMON!
Stew-O: IT’S A SLEEPER HOLD NOT A CHOKE! HE HAS STANE GOING DOWN TO ONE KNEE! HE IS GETTING HIM DOWN TO TWO KNEES! CLOUD STRYFE WANTS TO MAKE THE MOST OF THE GRAND RAMPAGE! RULER IS BACK UP, BUT HE SEES JAY JERRY JOHNSON ALSO TRYING TO RISE AND HE RUNS AT HIM, QUICK FOREARM PINNING HIM TO THE CORNER! HE IS MAULING HIM RIGHT NOW AS THE HAIRCARE KINGS ARE RECOVERING! AMIR AND COFFEY ARE RECOVERING AND WE ARE ALMOST AT NUMBER 12!
Gavin Kirkland: THE STORY HERE IS CLOUD HAS SOLOMON STANE ALMOST OUT AND WAIT…. TERRY CHAMBERS IS GETTING BACK IN THE RING, HE CHARGES STANE…. RANDOM ACTS OF VIOLENCE AND STANE DROPS AND HE HIST CLOUD STRYFE INSTEAD! STRYFE GOES DOWN WITH A THUD AND HIS BOYISH LOOKS ARE NO MORE! TERRY SHRUGS HIS SHOULDERS, PICKS HIM UP AND LAUNCHES CLOUD OVER THE TOP ROPE AND HE LANDS BACK FIRST ON THE FLOOR!
Bella Braxton: CLOUD STRYE HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!
Persephone: YES! FINALLY ANOTHER ELIMINATION AND TOO BAD FOR CLOUD! HE LAST TWO MINUTES BUT WHATEVER AS THE NEXT ENTRANT IS COMING OUT! TERRY IS ALL OVER SOLOMON STANE NOW!
10..9..8..7..6..5..4..3..2..1…
BUZZ
(Sabotage by the Beastie Boys starts to play throughout the arena as Kirk Redwood slowly walks out the minute he sees his newly formed tag team partnership with Solomon Stane in trouble; he quickly darts to the ring as he gets a mixed reaction.)
Stew-O: KIRK REDWOOD IS OUT HERE NOW AT NUMBER TWELVE AND SOLOMON STANE MAY HAVE JUST GOTTEN SOME HELP! HE RUNS OUT AND QUICKLY SLIDES IN TO HELP HIS PARTNER AS TERRY TURNS AROUND AND REDWOOD UNLOADS WITH SOME BODY SHOTS TO TERRY CHAMBERS AND HE CAN’T COVER UP! HE IS GETTING BELTED BY REDWOOD AND SPINNING FIST KNOCKS TERRY DOWN! KIRK HELPS UP SOLOMON! THEY ARE UP AND START KICKING TERRY CHAMBERS DOWN!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT HERE COMES THE HAIRCARE KINGS AND THEY WANT TO BE THE ONLY DUO INTHE GRAND RAMPAGE RIGHT NOW! STANE AND KIRK TURN AROUND AND HERE WE GO! A DONNY BROOK I LOVE IT!
(The fans erupt in cheers as two tag teams go at it, The Haircare Kings, Stane and Redwood, they are teeing off on one another as Amir Yusuf is back up, he goes to try and get Coffey out, both men doing what they can to get some leverage, Ruler has his boot driven into the neck of Jay Jerry Johnson as the attention is on the Haircare Kings and Redwood/Stane)
Persephone: I WISH THESE FOUR WOULD DO US ALL A FAVOR AND THROW EACH OTHER OVER THE TOP ROPE! LOOK HOW MANY PEOPLE WE HAVE IN THIS MATCH AND ONLY THREE ELIMINATIONS THIS IS GETTING RIDICULOUS! THE HAIRCARE KINGS ARE FIGHTING BACK SOLOMON AND KIRK BUT KIRK PUNCHES JAKE WHICH PROBABLY HURT A LOT AND SOLOMON WITH A HUGE BOOT ON CHRIS WHICH BACKS HIM UP AND SOLOMON CLOTHESLINES HIMSELF AND CHRIS ELITE OVER THE TOP ROPE….YES!!!! THEY ARE GONE!
Stew-O: NO THEY ARE NOT! ELITE LANDS ON THE APRON AND SOLOMON AS WELL! BOTH MEN ARE UP AND SOLOMON WITH A HUGE RIGHT! AND ANOTHER! CHRIS IS TEETERING, HE ONLY HAS ONE HAND ON THE ROPES AND INSIDE THE RING JAKE IS TRYING TO GET TO HIS PARTNER BUT REDWOOD CUTS HIM OFF! WAIT… LOOK AT RULER! HE TURNS AND SEES THE TWO MEN ON THE APRON, HE CHARGES IN AND….
Gavin Kirkland: RULER JUST KNOCKED CHRIS ELITE OFF THE APRON BUT HE LANDED ON OUR TABLE! BOTH FEET DID NOT TOUCH THE FLOOR! HE IS STILL IN THE GRAND RAMPAGE BUT HOW THE HELL IS HE GOING TO GET BACK IN THE RING! SOLOMON STANE GRABS RULER AND HITS A HUGE FOREARM! RULER STUMBLES BACK AND SOLOMON IS IN THE RING, HE RUNS AT RULER BUT IS CAUGHT WITH A HUGE SPINEBUSTER! KIRK REDWOOD SEES THIS BUT BACK CRACKER BY JAKE SMITH AND REDWOOD IS DOWN! COFFEY HAS AMIR UP AND TRYING TO GET HIM OVER THE ROPES, TERRY IS SLOWLY RISING TO HIS FEET…. THERE IS TOO MUCH GOING ON!
(Jake sees Chris Elite standing on the table wondering how is going to get back in the ring. Chris looks around frantically realizing that there isn’t much time before something breaks his train of thought instantly.)
Persephone: CAN YOU PLEASE GET THE FUCK OFF OF MY TABLE!
Chris Elite: (Off-Mic) I speak for everyone when I say you should shut the fuck up.
Persephone: GET! THE FUCK! OFF OF! THE TABLE!
Jake Smith: (Off Mic) CHRIS!? I NEED YOU BACK IN THE RING DUDE!
Chris Elite: (Off Mic) Yeah… yeah just gimme a sec. So anyway as I was saying, SHUT THE FUCK UP DAMN. I’ll smack the shit out of you-
Persephone: You do know that all I have to do is push you off the table and you are eliminated from the Grand Rampage, right?
Chris Elite: (Off-Mic) :whoa: Calm down twin I’m going.
(Chris Elite ponders for a second before he finally realizes arguing with Persephone is probably not the best of ideas. He starts to look around for anything to jump back in the ring, he then thinks…)
Chris Elite: (Off Mic) Stew… gimme your blazer, son.
Stew-O: What? My mom bought me that.
(Everyone on the announce team stops and turns to look right at Stew-O who finally sighs and takes off his blazer….)
Stew-O: Fine…. Here!
(Stew-O takes his jacket off, Chris Elite throws it on the floor and he handstands on it, the crowd go wild as Chris uses the blazer to cover in case he loses balance, his feet will not touch the mat but the blazer so technically he is not out. Hooking his boots to the ropes, Jake reaches over and takes his hand lifting him up….)
Gavin Kikrland: CHRIS ELITE IS BACK IN THE RING AND HE IS NOT ELIMINATED! THE HAIRCARE KINGS ARE INTACT AND NOW THEY GO AFTER RULER! WHO IS UP AND WHIP HIM INTO THE CORNER, CHRIS RUSHES HIM WITH A REVERSE HEEL KICK, JAKE FOLLOWS WITH A CLOTHESLINE AND A BULLDOG! THEY ARE WORKING TOGETHER! COFFEY AND AMIR ARE STILL AGAINST THE ROPES TRYING TO THROW EACH OTHER OVER! AMIR HAS COFFEY UP BUT HE RAKES THE EYES OF AMIR AND HE DROPS HIM, COFFEY WITH SOME STIFF FOREARMS AS AMIR IS STUNNED, HE PICKS HIM UP IN A BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX!
Persephone: WILL YOU JUST THROW THIS GUY OUT ALREADY!? I MEAN I DON’T GET THIS! AND THAT KIRK GUY IS BACK UP! TERRY TURNS TO HIM AND KICKS KIRK IN THE MIDSECTION BUT SOLOMON IS THERE AND CLUBS TERRY IN THE BACK, JUST DUMP HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE ALREADY! TERRY PUSHES HIM OFF! THESE TWO MOUNDS OF MEAT ARE FIGHTING ONE ANOTHER AND KIRK REDWOOD NOW GRABS TERRY FROM BEHIND! THIS COULD FINALLY BE IT! SOMEONE WILL ELIMINATE THIS JACKASS ONCE AND FOR ALL!
Gavin Kirkland: Your favorite part of the match is about to happen!
Persephone: What is that?
Gavin Kirkland: The next entrant!
Persephone: Finally here comes unlucky number 13! Who will it be! Someone good please so we can clear half this ring already! HERE WE GO AND THE COUNTDOWN BEGINS!
10..9..8..7..6..5..4..3..2..1…
BUZZ
(Swallowing the Rabbit Whole by Code Orange starts to play throughout the arena as Kirk Redwood drops Terry Chambers and quickly turns to the entranceway as Shane Gates slowly walks out, focused on just Kirk as he stands by the ropes waiting for him to enter…)
Stew-O: SHANE GATES DREW NUMBER 13 AND HOW FITTING! WE HAVE SEEN WHAT IS GOING ON BETWEEN GATES AND REDWOOD INVOLVING LIZZIE THE DOLL AND ELIZABETH! SHANE GATES IS NO MOOD AND HE IS NOW MAKING A BEELINE TO THE RING AND AS SHE SLIDES IN KIRK REDWOOD IS KICKING HIM WHILE HE IS DOWN AND NOT ALLOWING GATES TO GET BACK UP! REDWOOD IS STOMPING ON GATES BUT SHANE HULKS UP AND HE IS BACK TO HIS FEET! GATES WITH A HUGE RIGHT HOOK! AND ANOTHER BUT HERE COMES SOLOMON STANE AND KICK TO THE GUT, GATES PICKS UP SOLOMON AND DARKNESS BELOW!
Gavin Kirkland: THIS BIG MEATY BASTARD JUST DROPPED SOLOMON STANE! SHANE GATES LOOKS LIKE A MAN POSSESSED AND KIRK REDWOOD IS NOW BACK AND HE TURNS GATES AROUND AND BOTH MEN ARE JUST TRYING TO KNOCK EACH OTHERS HEADS OFF WITH A FLURRY OF PUNCHES! TERRY CHAMBERS COMES IN WITH A FLYING CLOTHESLINE AND KNOCKS BOTH MEN DOWN! HE DOESN’T SEE THE HAIRCARE KINGS AND TERRY TURNS INTO A DOUBLE FLAPJACK! HAIRCARE KINGS ARE BACK UP AND THEY ARE PROUD OF WHAT THEY HAVE DONE BUT BRYANT COFFEY IS THERE AND GRABS JAKE… BELLY TO BACK SUPLEX, CHRIS ELITE WITH ENZINGUI AND IT CONNECTS! COFFEY GOES DOWN! BUT HE TURNS INTO AMIR YUSUF…. STANDING SPANISH FLY AND ELITE GOES DOWN! RULER IS THERE AND AMIR TURNS, ANOTHER WILL OF NICHOLAS AND AMIR IS DOWN! RULER IS POSING AS BODIES ARE EVERYWHERE! THERE IS SO MUCH GOING ON ….
Persephone: … INTERNAL AFFAIRS BY JAY JERRY JOHNSON! WE FORGOT ABOUT HIM BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY DAMN PEOPLE IN THE RING AT ONCE! He is standing tall right now and looking around all the mess of bodies laid out! Start throwing them out one by one please! This is your chance to do it! Don’t waste any time!
(Jay Jerry Johnson looks around trying to determine who to throw out first, he grabs Ruler, picks him up and….)
Stew-O: He throws Ruler out… no! He hangs on and Jay says screw it! He picks up Amir Yusuf and throws him out but he too hangs on! Jay Jerry Johnson now looks desperate as he picks up Chris Elite, but he hangs on! Jake Smith… he hangs on too! Jay Jerry Johnson is losing his mind! He tries Terry Chambers, but no! Terry grabs him by the neck as he was going to pick him up and this time he throws him into the turnbuckle! He bounces back off the buckle and stumbles into…. A GUERILLA PRESS SLAM! TERRY LOOKS TO DUMP HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE AND TO THE FLOOR! BUT NO! JAY RAKES HIS EYES AND HE LETS GO AND TERRY IS PUSHED INTO THE TURNBUCKLE AS JAY CHARGES IN WITH A SHOULDER BLOCK! AMIR THIS TIME IS ASSISTING JAY, THEY BOTH GRAB TERRY’S LEGS AND TRY TO GET HIM OVER! KIRK REDWOOD HELPS SOLOMON STANE BACK UP AND THEY GRAB SHANE GATES, WHIPPING HIM INTO THE TURNBUCKLE!
Gavin Kirkland: REDWOOD WHIPS STANE INTO THE TURNBUCKLE WITH A HUGE CLOTHESLINE ON SHANE GATES! NOW HE BACKS UP HIMSELF AND RUNS AT SHANE GATES AND GOES FOR THE .50 CAL… NO! GATES GETS OUT OF THE WAY AND REDWOOD HITS THE TURNBUCKLE, HE RUNS AT STANE WITH A CLUBBING FOREARM AND HE FALLS TO THE MAT! SHANE GATES NOW TURNS TO REDWOOD AND SIGNALS THAT HE IS ABOUT TO THROW HIM OUT! GATES PICKS UP REDWOOD AND TAKES HIM TO THE ROPES, LIFTING HIM OVER! BUT REDWOOD HANGS ON! IT LOOKS LIKE JAKE SMITH AND CHRIS ELITE ARE NOW DOUBLE TEAMING RULER! THEY ARE DOING THEIR BEST TO THROW HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE BUT AS THE ACTION HERE CONTINUES THE RING IS FULL WITH TEN COMPETITORS RIGHT NOW AND ONLY THREE HAVE BEEN ELIMINATED!
Persephone: That is the problem though, this ring is going to keep filling up! It is going to keep getting tougher and tougher for these wrestlers that are entering and I can’t even follow all the action! This is insane! SOMEONE JUST LIKE MERCY THROW THEMSELVES OVER THE TOP ROPE PLEASE! WAIT! BRYANT COFFEY IS NOW STOPPING SOLOMON STANE FROM HELPING HIS PARTNER! HE HAS SOLOMON IN A REAR NAKED CHOKE! DUMMY YOU CAN’T MAKE HIM SLEEP! YOU WON’T BE ABLE TO THROW HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE, HAIRDO! COME ON! BUT HE CAN’T HELP REDWOOD!
Stew-O: THE HAIRCARE KINGS ARE TRYING TO GET RULER OVER THE ROPES, AMIR AND JOHNSON ARE ON TERRY CHAMBERS AND REDWOOD AND SHANE ARE BATTLING ONE ANOTHER OVER THE ROPES, BUT COFFEY HAS STANE WHO POWER FLIPS HIM OVER! HE LANDS HARD ON THE MAT! STANE WITH A HUGE STIFF KICK TO THE BACK OF COFFEY! AND ANOTHER! STANE PICKS UP COFFEY IN THE AIR AND HE HOIST HIM BUT BRYANT GETS BEHIND HIM AND THROWS STANE INTO THE ROPES AND HE GOES OVER! BRYANT QUICKLY ATTACKS THE LEGS BUT SOLOMON IS TOO BIG AND POWERFUL HE HANGS ON!
(As all the competitors are trying to throw others out of the ring, Jake Smith and Chris Elite see the opportunity to help Amir and JJJ throw Terry over, the biggest man in the match besides Solomon. They quickly go to assist as Terry tries to fight it off but teetering over the top rope…)
Persephone: Yes! Throw him out! There are four guys on Terry now and there is no way that he is going to be able to hang on! No way! I know that he can’t! Well maybe he won’t…. Oh just fall!
Gavin Kirkland: Terry is fighting for his life and it looks like Shane Gates has the upper hand on Kirk Redwood and now the count begins as we are about to get number 14!
10..9..8..7..6..5..4..3..2..1…
BUZZ
(Por Mi Mexico- Lefty SM Ft. Santa Fe Klan starts to play throughout the arena as Roberto De La Rosa comes out and looks around at the fans to a mixed reaction. He nods and runs to the ring quickly and slides in going right for the group trying to throw Terry Chambers out….)
Persephone: WHAT ARE YOU DOING YOU BIG DUMMY! WHY IS ROBERTO HELPING TERRY WHEN HE COULD HAVE THROWN HIM OUT! HE GRABS JAKE SMITH AND GERMAN RELEASE SUPLEX WHICH LOOKED LIKE IT REALLY HURT! CHRIS ELITE GOES FOR A CLOTHESLINE, ROBERTO DUCKS, HE GRABS ELITE FROM BEHIND AND HE BROKE HIM IN HALF WITH THE GERMAN SUPLEX TOO! NOW HE HAS AMIR BUT HE’S FIGHTING HIM OFF, RUNNING AGAINST THE ROPES, SPRINGBOARD DROPKICK AND THAT WAS NOT IMPRESSIVE AT ALL AS HE BOUNCED OFF ROBERTO LIKE A BUG ON A WINDSHIELD! AND NOW ROBERTO PICKS HIM UP AND LAUNCHES HIM INTO JAY JERRY JOHNSON AS BOTH MEN FALL TO THE MAT! THIS IS GREAT NOW JUST LIKE THROW THEM OUT OF THE RING!
(De La Rosa now sees Terry who is back in the ring, they nod at each other and De La Rosa goes right after him, he wants to take the big man out himself! They both lock up while Shane Gates has Kirk Redwood in trouble on the ropes….)
Stew-O: KIRK REDWOOD WITH A THUMB TO THE EYE OF GATES! HE LETS GO AND KIRK NOW RUNS BACK AND GOES FOR THE .50 CAL BUT GATES CATCHES KIRK REDWOOD IN MIDAIR WITH THE RECKONING AND CHOKESLAMS HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE AND TO THE FLOOR!
Bella Braxton: KIRK REDWOOD HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!
Persephone: FINALLY ANOTHER ELIMINATION! THANK YOU! SHANE GATES ISN’T WORTHLESS AFTER ALL AND HE TURNS AND A BIG BOOT BY SOLOMON STANE WHO BROKE FREE FROM COFFEY AND HE KICKS SHANE GATES OVER THE TOP ROPE AND HE LANDS NEXT TO REDWOOD!
Bella Braxton: SHANE GATES HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!
Stew-O: Two quick eliminations and that puts the talley at five with nine wrestlers in the ring and we will see number fifteen shortly! Shane Gates and Kirk Redwood are both gone! They have some bad blood brewing and THEY ARE BOTH FIGHTING ON THE OUTSIDE NOW! BOTH MEN ARE BEATING THE HELL OUT OF EACH OTHER AND HERE ARE OFFICIALS TO TRY AND SEPARATE THEM OUTSIDE THE RING! SOLOMON STANE LOST HIS PARTNER BUT HE WAS ABLE TO GET GATES OUT WITH THE HUGE BOOT! THE OFFICIALS ARE NOW MAKING ORDER AND CLEARING THE RING! INSIDE THE RING THOUGH ROBERTO DE LA ROSA AND TERRY CHAMBERS CIRCLE THE RING, THESE TWO HOSSES LOCK UP! THEY TRY TO GAIN GROUND ON ANOTHER! ROBERTO RUNS AGAINST THE ROPES AND CLOTHESLINE BUT TERRY DOESN’T BUDGE! HE RUNS AGAINST THE ROPES AGAIN AND ANOTHER CLOTHESLINE BUT TERRY SCREAMS AT HIM TO DO IT AGAIN AND ROBERTO RUNS AGAINST THE ROPES ONE MORE TIME AND RANDOM ACTS OF VIOLENCE!
Gavin Kirkland: NO! ROBERTO DROPS TO THE MATS AND TERRY CONNECT WITH AN UNSUSPECTING BRYANT COFFEY WHO TAKES IT IN THE CHIN! TERRY IS UP AND TALON DE AGULA! THE SPEAR BREAKS TERRY IN HALF! BOX OFFICE FINALE! ROBERTO GOT UP AND WAS MET BY DUO SUPERKICKS BY THE HAIRCARE KINGS AND DE LA ROSA GOES DOWN! THE HAIR CARE KINGS ARE TAKING CONTROL AGAIN BUT THEY LOOK AROUND AND SUDDENLY AMIR YUSUF, JAY JERRY JOHNSON, SOLOMON STANE AND RULER HAVE ALL SURROUNDED THE HAIRCARE KINGS! ROBERTO DE LA ROSA, TERRY CHAMBERS AND BRYANT COFFEY ARE OUT OF IT RIGHT NOW! JAKE SMITH AND CHRIS ELITE ARE ABOUT TO GET PRISON RAPED!
Persephone: OKAY… THAT IS NOT A VISUAL I NEED TO SEE! THE HAIRCARE KINGS ARE THE ONLY TAG TEAM IN THE RING RIGHT NOW SO IT MAKES SENSE, THROW BOTH OF THESE BOZOS OUT LIKE RIGHT NOW! PLEASE! THEY ARE SURROUNDED AND ALL FOUR MEN HAVE JUMPED THE HAIRCARE KINGS! THIS IS ACTUALLY RATHER FUNNY! THEY ARE GETTING MUGGED RIGHT NOW! THE HAIRCARE KINGS ARE GETTING DOWN TO ALL FOURS AS THEY ARE BEING STOMPED AND KICKED, IF I WASN’T SUCH A BITCH I WOULD ACTUALLY FEEL SORRY FOR THEM!
(The Haircare Kings are being beaten down by Ruler, Amir, JJJ and Solomon Stane. They try to ball up as they are being stomped. Terry Chambers is starting to stir and come to, same with Roberto De La Rosa. Bryan Coffey is also trying to get back to his feet as this match has been so taxing for all the men still in there. They have survived, especially Terry being number one, trying his best to get some rest periods.)
Stew-O: Solomon picks up Jake Smith and shoves him into the ropes, he grabs both legs from under him and starts lifting him up in the air. Jake frantically is trying to hold on to the ropes as Ruler comes to join him, grabbing the other leg. Amir and Jay Jerry Johnson have Chris up and over, stomach down over the top rope, Chris is fighting not to go over but both of the Haircare Kings are in a lot of trouble and this could be it for both of them! This would be a huge turning point for this match! And we are about to see Number fifteen as the countdown begins!

(‘ Ponytail to Shushu ‘ by AKB48 as the crowd cheers and Ayu Megumi comes running from the back in lightning quickness as she doesn;t roll into the ring and instead hops on the top turnbuckle seeing what is happening to the Haircare Kings even though they fought at Dia Del Diablo, she takes no caution and dives….)
Gavin Kirkland: MY BEAUTIFUL JOSHI FLIES THROUGH THE AIR AND LANDS ON ALL FOUR WRESTLERS! SHE TAKES OUT IN ONE SITTING AMIR YUSUF! SOLOMON STANE! RULER! AND JAY JERRY JOHNSON! AYU MEGUMI IS IN THE GRAND RAMPAGE AT NUMBER 15 AND ONLY THE THIRD FEMALE IN THE MATCH SO FAR AND THE ONLY ONE IN IT RIGHT NOW! FINALLY SOMETHING OTHER THAN SWEATY MEN TO LOOK AT AND MY JOSHI IS ON THE LOOSE! SHE HOPS OFF THE MIDDLE ROPES AND MOONSAULT ON TO RULER! SHE RUNS AGAINST THE ROPES AND FLYING BODY PRESS ON AMIR YUSUF! SHE GETS BACK UP! A KICK TO THE MIDSECTION OF SOLOMON STANE! SACRED ARROW THAT ALMOST TOOK HIS HEAD OFF! JAY JERRY JOHNSON AND AYU GRABS HIM INTO A TORNADO DDT!
(The crowd explodes in cheers….)
Crowd: AYU-SAN! AYU-SAN! AYU-SAN!!!!
Stew-O: They are firmly behind this young woman and the Haircare Kings are safe for now and she gets right back up…. DOUBLE CLOTHESLINE BY THE HAIRCARE KINGS, NO! AYU DUCKS AND ENZINGUIRI ON JAKE SMITH! SHE TURNS RIGHT INTO AN ELITE CUTTER! NO! SHE SCOUTS IT AND PUSHES ELITE OVER THE TOP ROPE…. HE IS ELIMINATED!
Persephone: NO! THE DUMBASS HELD ON! BUT AYU NEEDS TO WATCH HER BACK! SHE NEEDS TO TURN AROUND…. SPEAR! ANOTHER ONE BY ROBERTO DE LA ROSA AND AYU MEGUMI HAD THE WIND KNOCKED OUT OF HER! HE PICKS HER UP LIKE A RAGDOLL AND LOOKS TO DISPOSE OF HER BUT SHE IS ABLE TO GET OUT FROM BEHIND… I HATE THE LITTLE ONES SO MUCH!
Stew-O: AYU IS ABLE TO ESCAPE ELIMINATION BUT ROBERTO TURNS AROUND AND HE GRABS AYU AS SHE TRIES TO RUN TOWARD THE ROPE, HOISTING HER BY ONE ARM AND ….. BUSAIKU KNEE! BRYANT COFFEY OUT OF NOWHERE CONNECTED ON ROBERTO DE LA ROSA WHO DROPS AYU MEGUMI AND CRUMBLES TO THE MATS! COFFEY LETS OUT A SCREAM BUT AMIR YUSUF IS BACK UP AND HE DROPS KICKS COFFEY FROM BEHIND AND ALL IT DOES IS PISS HIM OFF! COFFEY TURNS TO AMIR BUT HE GETS KICKED AND STUNNED FOR A MOMENT, AMIR WITH A RUNNING SWINGING NECKBREAKER! AMIR IS TRYING TO GET SOMETHING GOING HERE AND HE THROWS GRABS BRYANT COFFEY AND LIFTS ON THE TOP ROPE! THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS TERRITORY
Persephone: GOOD! I HOPE THEY BOTH GET THROWN OUT! LIKE THE LESS, THE BETTER! They are on the top rope as I am tired of screaming at this boring shit. Dumbass Amir and dumbass Coffey are on the top rope and I don;t know what Amir is trying to do, they both are standing and this looks really bad and…..
Gavin Kikrland: SPANISH FLY OFF THE TOP ROPE BY AMIR YUSUF ON BRYANT COFFEY! THOSE TWO GOT SO MUCH AIR IT WAS CRAZY! THEY CRASH AND BURN ON THE MAT! AYU MEGUMI IS BACK TO HER FEET BUT RULER GRABS HER FROM BEHIND AND SLAMS HER HEAD INTO THE TURNBUCKLE! OVER AND OVER WEAKENING HER AND WHIPPING AYU INTO A POWERSLAM BY JAY JERRY JOHNSON WHO ARE NOW WORKING TOGETHER! THEY TURN THEIR ATTENTION TO THE HAIRCARE KINGS!
Stew-O: Jake Smith is suddenly attacked by Ruler! He drives the foot into the neck of Jake Smith and starts choking him out! He presses down so hard on his neck that half of Jake’s body is hanging out of the ring! Jay Jerry Johnson picks up Chris, he starts trying to lift him over the ropes, both partners find themselves once again in a lot of trouble! Ayu is down and Terry Chambers is back up, he walks over to De La Rosa and drags him to the ropes, attempting to dump the big man over the top rope!
Persephone: JAKE SMITH THOUGH…. I really need to stop talking so loudly because this is remotely exciting. Jake Smith is almost out of the ring but it would be through the second rope jackass! After the two eliminations it has gone cold again and boring but whatever. Terry is trying to hoist up Roberto. Amir and Coffey are still dead in the ring. The Haircare Kings are getting the crap kicked out of them and Ayu is Ayu and she needs to get up and do something!
Stew-O: Tell us how you really feel.
Persephone: Olive Garden doesn’t sound so bad after all now.
Stew-O: JAKE SMITH NEEDS TO HANG ON, LOOK AT HIM AND CHRIS! THEY ARE HAVING A MOMENT AND REACHING FOR EACH OTHERS HANDS, THAT IS SO SWEET AND… WAIT… THEY USE THE LEVERAGE TO HELP EACH OTHER GET BACK UP! THEY ARE USING THEIR OWN STRENGTH TO GET BACK UP TO THE RING ROPES, THEY ARE FINALLY THERE AND JAKE LOCKS HIS LEGS AROUND RULER! CHRIS WITH SOME VICIOUS RIGHTS ON JAY JERRY JOHNSON! HE FALLS BACK SOME AND CHRIS IS ABLE TO GET OUT OF IT! HE IS ABLE TO GET SOME DISTANCE…. BOX OFFICE SMASH ON JAY JERRY JOHNSON AND HE FALLS TO THE MAT! RULER THROUGH SIDESWIPES ELITE FROM THE BLINDSPOT, A VICIOUS STO TAKES ELITE DOWN BUT JAKE SMITH SEES RULER, WHO TURNS AND CHARGES JAKE, HE DUCKS KICK TO THE MIDSECTION OF RULER… HELL ABOVE THE FLIP PILEDRIVER AND HE LANDS ALL OF THAT!
Gavin Kirkland: THE HAIRCARE KINGS ARE OUT OF THE TROUBLE AND BOTH TERRY AND ROBERTO ARE HAVING A TEST OF STRENGTH BY THE ROPES BUT HERE COMES NUMBER 16 RIGHT NOW!

(“9 5 . South” – J. Cole starts to play throughout the arena as Abel Atami comes out and he has a smirk on his face. Abel sees what is going on in the ring and he slowly makes his way to ringside and finally darts into the ring as Jake is helping up Chris Elite, he turns around and Abel hits a flying forearm…)
Gavin Kirkland: ABEL ATAMI IS HERE AND HE LOOKS TO DO SOMETHING INSTEAD OF LOSE IN THE GRAND RAMPAGE! HE DEFINITELY WAS ACTIVE PROMOTING THE MATCH AND WITH A STIFF FOREARM HE KNOCKS JAKE SMITH DOWN! HE LOOKS AT CHRIS ELITE AND HITS A SPRINGBOARD KICK RIGHT FLUSH TO CHRIS JAW AND HE FALLS THROUGH THE ROPES! ABEL POSES… HERE IS AYU MEGUMI! THEY ARE ON THE SAME BRAND AS ME AND MY LITTLE JOSHI IS ALL GROWN UP NOW! SHE IS BY HERSELF, NO ICE ACES AND LOOK AT HER! SHE IS KICKING AND PUNCHING ABEL! KNOCKING HIM BACK SOME! HE FALLS TO THE ROPES AND SHE HITS A FLYING BODY PRESS AND BOTH GO OVER THE TOP ROPE! THEY HANG ON THOUGH! ABEL AND AYU HANG ON!
Persephone: WHY CAN’T GRAVITY EVER WORK IN OUR FAVOR!? They are both still in this! A kick by Ayu and that connects but it’s not enough to get a fresh Abel Atami out! She goes for another but he catches her leg and uses her force to push the leg back causing her to crash face first into the mats! I like it now falling to the floor!
(Ayu hangs on though as Abel can’t believe that she did! He gets back in the ring and tries to push her out with his legs. On the other side of the ring, Roberto De La Rosa and Terry continue trying to get one another over the top, Amir and Coffey have recovered, Amir is in a vertical base. Chris and Jake are trying to help each other up.)
Stew-O: Roberto De La Rosa picks up Terry Chambers who holds on to the top rope! Roberto is moving back and forth on Terry but he will not let go! De La Rosa drops Terry’s neck first into the cables! He falls backwards and gets right back up but turns to see Jake Smith and Roberto grabs him and whips him into the turnbuckle, Roberto follows through with a SPEAR… NO! JAKE SMITH MOVES OUT OF THE WAY AND ROBERTO HITS SHOULDER FIRST INTO THE STEEL POST! HE LOOKS WOBBLY AND JAKE SMITH RUNS AT HIM SO LONG AND GOODNIGHT HITS THE BACK OF ROBERTO’S HEAD AND JAKE CAUGHT HIM LEANING AGAINST THE ROPES AND HE LIFTS HIM OVER…. JAKE SMITH LIFTS ROBERTO DE LA ROSA OVER AND HE GOES CRASHING INTO FLOOR BELOW!
Bella Braxton: ROBERTO DE LA ROSA HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!
(The crowd cheers some boo as Roberto slams the mats on the floor holding his shoulder in frustration as the match continues….)
Persephone: Another one bites the dust! Roberto is gone and we still are getting to Number 17 and soon! But there are only 6 eliminated out of 16 so we have in the ring ten competitors right now and I just want to die.
Stew-O : Not until after the Grand Rampage! De La Rosa is gone and Amir Yusuf is going after Jake Smith! The two are trading blow after blow! AMIR USING THE ROPES FOR A STANDING SIDE KICK TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD OF JAKE SMITH! THAT STUNNED HIM AND NOW AMIR GRABS HIS HEAD IN A FRONT FACELOCK AND HE RUNS UP THE ROPES, TORNADO DDT! THAT WAS A THING OF BEAUTY AND IT KNOCKED JAKES LIGHTS OUT! AMIR TOO HAS BEEN IN THERE FOR QUITE SOME TIME! AMIR WAS THE FIFTH ENTRY! WE STILL HAVE FOUR OF THE FIRST FIVE STILL IN THIS! CHRIS ELITE THOUGH, HE WAITS ON THE APRON, AMIR DOESN’T EVEN KNOW IT, HE TURNS INTO A HUGE SPRINGBOARD FOREARM! CHRIS ELITE CONNECTS AND AMIR IS DOWN!
Gavin Kirkland: TERRY IS ABLE TO GET BACK UP, HE SEES ABEL AND AYU BOTH TRYING TO BATTLE AS ABEL CONTINUES HAVING PROBLEMS WITH AYU WHO SEEMS TO BE ABLE AND SLIP OUT OF ANYTHING! BUT HERE COMES TERRY CHAMBERS AND ABEL WHO HAS A HOLD OF AYU LET;S GO OF HER AND COMES FACE TO FACE WITH TERRY CHAMBERS! ABEL THROWS THE FIRST STRIKE! TERRY RETALIATES WITH ONE OF HIS OWN! I FEEL LIKE I AM WATCHING TWO MEN FIGHT OVER THE LAST HOOKER! HE THROWS ANOTHER HAYMAKER AND ABEL IS DAZED! AND ANOTHER AS ABLE STARTS FALLINGS BACK AGAINST THE ROPES AND TERRY LIFTS HIS LEGS TRYING TO GET HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE!
(Ayu Megumi is about to go try and help Terry eliminate Abel Atami but suddenly she is caught from behind by Bryant Coffey…)
Persephone: THIS LITTLE SHIT LOVES SNEAKING BEHIND PEOPLE! HAIRDO HAS A GRIP OF AYU AND I AM SCREAMING AGAIN! HE IS TRYING AND…. HE HAS AYU LOCKED IN THE HOUND’S BITE! HE HAS IT LOCKED IN AS SHE SCREAMS AND HE FALLS BACKWARDS! OH WHAT AN IDIOT! YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO THROW HER OVER THE TOP ROPE! WHAT IS GOING ON HERE TODAY!? WHY IS EVERYONE ACTING LIKE A COMPLETE MORON THAT DOESN’ SEE THE BIG PICTURE HERE AS IT IS A GRAND RAMPAGE AND THIS TYPE OF STUFF IS WORTHLESS! WELL AS WE APPROACH NUMBER 17, ALL I NEED TO SAY IS THAT I HOPE IT IS SOMEONE THAT CAN BREATHE SOME LIFE HERE!
(As the countdown is about to begin, the ring continues filling up as the crowd in unison starts to chant the count….)

(Praise The Lord by Bandokay starts to play throughout the arena as the crowd stands up and boos. The EAW Hardcore Champion Charlie Marr walks out with evil intentions, as he cracks a smile and starts walking to the ring slowly…)
Stew-O: BUSINESS IS ABOUT TO PICK UP! CHARLIE MARR, THE HARDCORE CHAMPION IS HERE AND HE LOOKS READY TO TEAR ANYONE APART! YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT A TRUE BARBARIAN, YOU ARE LOOKING AT HIM RIGHT NOW! CHARLIE MARR IS ONE OF THE MOST DANGEROUS ME IN THE EAW! HE IS TAKING HIS TIME AND SLIDING RIGHT IN, BRYAN COFFEY LETS GO OF AYU MEGUMI! AND GETS RIGHT UP AS CHARLIE MARR SLIDES INTRO THE RING! COFFEY AND CHARLIE ARE HAVING A STAREDOWN!
Persephone: JUST PUNCH HIM ALREADY! COFFEY GOES FOR THE RIGHT HOOK! CHARLIE BLOCKS IT! HE LAYS ONE IN ON HIS OWN! FINALLY A REAL MAN FIGHT, WELL AGAINST HAIRDO! CHARLIE STRIKES AGAIN, BRYANT STRIKES BACK, HE THEN GOES AROUND CHARLIE, LIFTING HIM FROM BEHIND BUT CHARLIE USES HIS WEIGHT TO ANCHOR HIMSELF! HE TURNS AND ELBOWS BRYANT COFFEY! HE STUMBLES BACK AND NOW HE NEEDS TO THROW HIM OUT!
Gavin Kirkland: HE GRABS COFFEY AND HIP TOSSES HIM OVER TO THE ROPES, BUT BRYANT LOCKS HIS ARM, HE TRIES TO TRAP HIS OTHER ONE. CHARLIE HEADBUTTS COFFEY AND HE IS STUNNED, HE MIGHT HAVE CRACKED HIS SKULL AND CHARING CROSS! HE ALMOST TOOK BRYANT COFFEY’S AND SENDS HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE! HE HITS THE FLOOR!
Bella Braxton: BRYANT COFFEY HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!!!
(Bryant Coffey hits hard on the mats but is able to slowly get up as the fans cheer his efforts. He sighs and slowly makes his way toward the back as Charlie then goes right after Ayu Megumi who was down thanks to Coffey…)
Stew-O: CHARLIE MARR NOW GOING AFTER AYU MEGUMI! HE GOES AFTER THE ONE THAT IS HURT AND HE IS JUST PICKING HER APART LIKE PREY! CHARLIE IS WATCHING AS SHE GETS UP AND HE HITS A BACK BODY DROP! AYU HITS HARD ON THE BACK OF HER NECK! HE GETS BACK UP AND AND DRAGS HER TO THE ROPES! ABEL ATAMI IS TRYING TO FIGHT OFF TERRY CHAMBERS, DOING WHAT HE CAN BUT CHAMBERS IS TOO STRONG FOR HIM AS ABEL STARTS GOING OVER! RULER FINALLY RECOVERS, HE FALLS TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE RING AND LOOKS UNDER THE APRON, SEARCHING FOR ANYTHING AND FINDING A KENDO STICK.!?!?! WHAT THE HELL!?
(Ruler slides into the ring holding the Kendo Stick….)
CRACK!
Persephone: NOW THIS IS MORE LIKE IT! TERRY CHAMBERS TAKE A KENDO STICK TO THE BACK!
CRACK!
Persephone: THIS IS MUSIC TO MY EARS AND ANOTHER! RULER BROUGHT THE STICK IN AND THAT MAKES THIS MATCH THAT MUCH MORE EXCITING!
(Terry wrenches back in pain after the shot with the Kendo Stick, the welts are forming in his back. Ruler does it again and again!)
CRACK!!!!
CRACK!!!!
CRACK!!!!
(Terry falls to the mats and Able laughs as he was saved and….)
CRACK!!!!
Persephone: HA HA HA! RULER JUST CRACKED THE KENDO STICK BETWEEN ABEL ATAMI’S STUPID EYES! THIS IS GREAT! I WANT THIS GUY TO WIN! HIT HIM AGAIN AND AGAIN!
CRACK!!!!
CRACK!!!!
CRACK!!!!
Persephone: RULER KEEPS WALLOPING THIS FOOL! WHY DIDN’T HE DO THIS EARLIER! ABEL IS NOW BLEEDING AND HE FELL OUT OF THE RING BUT NOT OVER THE TOP ROPE…. COME ON!
Stew-O: WHILE PERSEPHONE IS ENJOYING THE VIOLENCE, HE HAS NO BUSINESS WITH THAT WEAPON IN THE RING! RULER IS OUT OF CONTROL AND….. BOX OFFICE FINALE FOR A THIRD TIME IN THE GRAND RAMPAGE BY THE HAIRCARE KINGS AND THAT KENDO STICK WENT FLYING OUT OF THE RING AND RULER IS DOWN! THE HAIR CARE KINGS ONCE AGAIN USED THEIR POWER OF TWO TO TAKE CONTROL OF THE MATCH AND …. WAIT CHARLIE MARR FROM BEHIND WITH A CLOTHESLINE AND NO! THEY TURN AROUND AND FLIP CHARLIE OVER AND HIST ASS FIRST ON THE MAT!
Gavin Kirkland: Charlie let go of Ayu Megumi and went after two men that are his rival but they had him scouted and now Charlie has the eye of Jake Smith and Chris Elite! He scurries to the corner as he sees the Haircare King cornering him! Charlie…. Get out now! Solomon Stane though is back up and he has Amir Yusuf up on his shoulders, running at the corner turnbuckle with Snake Eyes… that will hurt!
(Ruler is still down, Terry is trying to get back up as Solomon sees that and grabs Terry from behind and tries to toss him over, but he hangs on! The fans cheer for Terry as he grips the rope with one hand and holds the apron and tries to hoist himself up with the other and balance. Jay Jerry Johnson, though , sees the easy pickings in Ayu Megumi and she tries to choke her out with his boot on her neck and jumping up and down kicking her down…)
Persephone: Why is Abel Atami out here leaning against our announce table… like eww…. Tell him to go away and like back in the ring.
Gavin Kirkland: Yeah Stew-O… tell him.
Stew-O: Why me, he is part of your brand, Gavin.
Persephone: He does have a point.
Gavin Kirkland: If it was Ayu that’s a different story, so leave me alone. I am calling the Grand Rampage here and we are about to see Number 18 coming out in a few seconds! Charlie Marr is about to pay the price for trying to go after the Haircare Kings!
Stew-O: Charlie is about to be in a two on one situation and here comes… number 18!
10..9..8..7..6..5..4..3..2..1…

(Snakeskin by Example starts to play throughout the arena as the crowd rises to their feet completely shocked….)
Stew-O: WHAT!? WHAT!? IT IS DARYL KINKADE! DARYL KINKADE HAS RETURNED AND LOOK AT THE FACE OF CHARLIE MARR THE SECOND HE HEARD THE MUSIC DROP! THE HAIRCARE KINGS ARE SHOCKED AS WELL AS DARYL KINKADE THE OTHER HALF OF MARRKADE HAS RETURNED! CHARLIE MARR HAD NO IDEA AS DARYL MAKES HIS WAY INTO THE RING!
(Daryl Kinkade slides into the ring and stands in front of the Haircare Kings and Charlie Marr, who looks shocked, he then stands up and they both nod at each other before glaring holes into the Unified Tag Team Champions….)
Persephone: I could care less about history mind you but whatever! This is a big deal and we have a confrontation between the Haircare Kings and Marrkade! I bet all you wrestling geeks out there are having an orgasm!
Gavin Kirkland: “I AM HAVING AN ORGASM RIGHT NOW! I CAN;T BELIEVE IT! MARRKADE IS BACK AND THEY ARE STANDING TOE TO TOE WITH THE HAIRCARE KINGS! THIS IS AN INSTANT CLASSIC RIGHT HERE… AND THEY ARE FIGHTING! THROWING FISTS AT ONE ANOTHER! ALL FOUR MEN ARE GOING TOE TO TOE AND LISTEN TO THE CROWD! LISTEN TO THIS STADIUM ERUPT! MARRKADE ARE BACK TOGETHER RIGHT NOW AND THEY ARE FENDING OFF THE HAIRCARE KINGS! JAKE SMITH GETS THE BETTER OF KINKADE AND HE WHIPS HIM INTO THE ROPES, BUT THERE IS A REVERSAL AND JAKE BOUNCES BACK INTO A SPINNING HEEL KICK AND JAKE GOES DOWN! CHARLIE MARR WITH SOME STIFF WICKED ELBOWS BUT CHRIS ELITE WITH A JUMPING KNEE!
Stew-O: AND THAT STUNS CHARLIE AS CHRIS LOOKS AND HIS PARTNER IS DOWN, HE TURNS AND THE DISTRACTION COST CHRIS ELITE AS HE TAKES A HEADBUTT FROM CHARLIE MARR! CHRIS IS STUNNED AND MARRKADE…. A TALE OF TWO CITIES! THE SIMILIAR MOVE THAT THE HAIRCARE KINGS USE AS A FINISHER THE DOUBLE SUPERKICK/BIG BOOT ON CHRIS ELITE AND FLIES OUT OF THE RING AND TO THE FLOOR BUT HE GOES THROUGH THE ROPES NOT OVER THEM! THE CROWD IS CHEERING MARRKADE AS BOTH MEN NOD AND TRY TO TAKE JAKE SMITH OUT!
Persephone: Solomon and Terry are the two bulls trying to get one another out! I wish they would just fall over and be done with it but we couldn’t be that lucky! Terry is trying to stay upright as Solomon Stane continues to push! Ayu Megumi is being choked out right now by Jay Jerry Johnson! He is such a weasel!
Stew-O: He really is, but we all know that already and will pick his targets with those of least resistance! Amir Yusuf though is back up! Ruler is still down and Amir sees Jay Jerry Johnson with what he is doing to Ayu, Amir runs against the ropes, AND HE IS SPEARED OUT OF MIDAIR BY ABEL ATAMI! HE MUST’VE CRAWLED BACK INTO THE RING WITHOUT ANYONE NOTICING AND WAS TAKEN OUT COMPLETELY! ABEL ATAMI IS STANDING TALL AND… RULER IS BACK UP AND HE TWISTS ATAMI AROUND BUT GETS SUPERKICKED BY ABEL! HE THEN TURNS AND SUPERKICKS JAY JERRY JOHNSON! ABEL ATAMI IS ON FIRE, HE GRABS AYU MEGUMI AND THROWS HER OVER THE TOP ROPE…. NO HURRICARANA AND ABEL GOES OVER THE TOP ROPE BUT HE HANGS ON FOR DEAR LIFE, HE HOLDS ONTO THE ROPES, HIS FEET DANGLING SOME!
Persephone: I mean for real just throw him over! Abel sucks and so do you Ayu if you don’t throw this clown over like right now! Why is this even happening right now!? Abel Atami is hanging on! He is trying and just needs to let go!
Gavin Kirkland: Solomon almost has Terry over! Terry is about to dip and we can say goodbye but he is muscling out of it! Stane can’t believe it and Terry is back to his feet, a huge fist to the face of Stane! And another! And another! Stane is reeling and Terry picks him up and powerslams him to the mat! Jay Jerry Johnson comes from behind with low… no a stiff elbow on Jerry and he falls back, Terry turns and a huge headbut! Jay falls to the mat and he sees Abel Atami crawling under the ropes and getting back to the ring, Ayu had enough! My Joshi Princess climbs the top rope and she dives onto Abel with a Missile Dropkick!
(Abel flies halfway across the ring as Ayu is back up and Terry Chambers is behind her, he then nods and lifts Ayu on his shoulders, Jay Jerry Johnson is on the mat and she drives off the shoulders and on top of Johnson! They both high five before Terry grabs Ayu and tries to throw him out…)
Stew-O: GOOD TEAMWORK BETWEEN THE TWO AND THEY SHOWED OUT BUT IT IS EVERY ELITIST FOR THEMSELVES AND THIS WAS NO DIFFERENT! AYU IN TROUBLE! MARRKADE THOUGH AS JAKE SMITH, CHRIS ELITE WAS THROWN TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE RING! THEY HAVE JAKE SMITH UP AND HE IS DEFENSELESS AND NO! JAKE FIGHTING BACK! HE IS PUGNACIOUS RIGHT NOW GOING BACK AND FORTH WITH THEM! HE HITS MARR WITH AN ELBOW AND THEN KINKADE, SMITH BOUNCING OFF THE ROPES AND A FLYING KNEE ON MARR BUT NO! HE SIDESTEPS IT AND JAKE STUMBLES FORWARD! JAKE TURNS AROUND AND OFF WITH THEIR HEAD ON JAKE SMITH AND THAT WAS EXECUTED BEAUTIFULLY! JAKE IS DOWN AND LOOK AT HERE! NOTH MEN ACKNOWLEDGING WHAT THEY HAVE DONE AND HOW THEY HAVE MISSED EACH OTHER!
(Charlie and Daryl look at one another and shake hands, they then hug as the crowd cheers! Both men continue to shake hands….)
Persephone: AND CHARLIE MARR JUST PULLED DARYL KINKADE OUT OF THE RING WHILE SHAKING HIS HAND AND TUMBLES TO THE FLOOR! HA HA HA HA!
Bella Braxton: DARYL KINKADE HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!!!
Stew-O: WHAT!? NO! WHY DID CHARLIE MARR DO THAT TO HIS OWN TAG TEAM PARTNER! I KNOW IT IS EVERY MAN FOR THEMSELVES BUT COME ON, DAMN!
(Daryl Kinkade looks stunned, he glances up at Charlie Marr who shrugs his shoulders and tells him to make his exit. Kinkade looks up at him shaking his head, as he starts to walk out when the time gets down to the next entrant at Number 19…)

(‘King’s Dead’ by Jay Rock, Kendrick Lamar, Future, James Blake starts to play throughout the arena as Limmy Monaghan walks out to a thunderous roar of the crowd. He looks on and nods, pointing at the ring and there is Charlie Marr standing there looking right at him with a smirk on his face. After the feud they had the tension can be cut with a knife as Limmy makes a beeline to the ring….)
Stew-O: LIMMY MONAGHAN IS HERE AND THE BIG GUNS ARE STARTING TO SHOW UP! HE DARTS TO THE RING AND SLIDES IN! MARR GOES FOR A CLOTHESLINE BUT LIMMY DUCKS, MARR BOUNCES BACK AND LIMMY CATCHES HIM WITH MURDER TO EXCELLENCE! MARR FALLS TO THE GROUND BUT LIMMY IS BLINDSIDED BY SOLOMON STANE! LIMMY FALLS INTO THE ROPES AND THE BIG MAN CHARGES IN WITH A HUGE BOOT, BUT LIMMY ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY! SOLOMON TURNS AND MURDER TO EXCELLENCE!
(Limmy looks around and sees Terry Chambers as he turns while trying to get Ayu Megumi out, Limmy grabs Terry and tries to dump him over the top and he though gets right out of it, turns and looks at Limmy a bit surprised as Limmy smirks and then throws a right hook and another but Terry is back at it and another! And another! Terry is taking a lot of shots and he has been there since number one….)
Gavin Kirkland: Give Terry credit where credit is due! He has hung in there, sure his sister is a little hottie but batshit crazy, he has proven a lot tonight but at this time going after Limmy who is fresh and one of the best on Showdown, you might want to think twice that is for sure!
Stew-O: TERRY IS NOT GOING DOWN MUCH AS LIMMY IS TRYING! HE RUNS AGAINST THE ROPES, BUT IS CAUGHT BY TERRY BY THE NECK, HE PICKS UP LIMMY AND THROWS HIM INTO THE TURNBUCKLE! HE IS PINNED AGAINST IT AND TERRY STARTS WAILING ON LIMMY BUT MONAGHAN BLOCKS IT AND TRIES TO FEND HIM OFF BUT TERRY IS TOO STRONG, BUT AYU MEGUMI RUNS UP THE ROPES AND HITS A HURRICANRANA AND…. NO TERRY CATCHES HER AND POWERBOMBS AYU IN THE MAT! HE LEFT HER INDENTION AND MURDER BY EXCELLENCE! ANOTHER BICYCLE KNEE AND THAT TAKES TERRY OUT!
(Limmy sees Charlie Marr slowly getting up and he grabs Marr, taking him to the ropes, doing his best to try and get him over. Charlie is trying to hang on but Limmy is fighting to get him on the floor. The ring is filling up again. Jay Jerry Johnson after taking a beating is catching his second win. Ruler is still recovering. Amir Yusuf is back up, he is helping Ayu Megumi who is still laid out. Chris Elite is finally able to make it back in the ring where a bloody Abel Atami waits for him and starts kicking him while he is rolling in the ring…)
Persephone: Oh goodie, Jake Smith is alright and he is helping Chris Elite, the Haircare Kings are like going to win this aren;t they because they can never die. I am so sick of seeing them and here the are again together as Jake Smith just clocked Abel Atami with a superkick and rocked his world, Abel has no clue where he is and now Chris Elite is up and he starts unloading on Abel but that is pretty easy to do as nobody likes this prick anyway so just beat him good and the rest of us just yawn at Abel.
Gavin Kirkland: Abel Atami though is fighting back! He is a lot tougher than anyone gives him credit for so on that aspect I am very impressed … but that is it. The Haircare Kings whip Abel against the ropes, but Abel bounces back with a double clothesline, he misses and flies over the Haircare Kings! He looked foolish doing it too! The Haircare Kings set him up as Abel is up and….THE MATA MATA! ABEL ATAMI CRUMBLES TO THE GROUND AFTER THAT AND NOW THE TAKE THEIR ATTENTION OVER TO LIMMY MONAGHAN! HE IS THE FRESHEST IN THE MATCH!
(Limmy turns and sees Jake Smith and Chris Elite basically stalking him. Limmy smiles knowing this was eventually going to happen. He nods and gets ready to fight, taking on the tag team champions and by himself, limmy charges in….)
Stew-O: WE HAVE A PURE SIX BRAWL GOING ON RIGHT NOW! LIMMY MONAGHAN AGAINST THE HAIRCARE KINGS! HE IS KEEPING HIS OWN AND TRYING TO FEND THEM OFF BUT THEY ARE TOO MUCH! CHRIS ELITE AND JAKE SMITH PUSH HIM TO THE CORNER THEY START BEATING LIMMY DOWN! HE WON’T BE ABLE TO TAKE MUCH MORE OF THIS RIGHT NOW! LIMMY IS THE FRESH ONE IN THE MATCH AND HERE COMES AMIR YUSUF OF ALL PEOPLE! HE PULLS JAKE OFF THE TWO TRADE BLOWS AND CHRIS ELITE LET’S GO OF LIMMY AND STARTS POUNDING ON AMIR INSTEAD! LIMMY THOUGH ROUGHED UP TRIES TO RECOVER QUICKLY!
Gavin Kirkland: That’s what you get for trying and helping someone out when neither of them like each other. This is one of those instances where they see the bigger threat is indeed the Haircare Kings and I would find them a threat too, look at their fabulous hair.
Stew-O: WELL AS THAT IS GOING ON, AYU MEGUMI IS BACK TO HER FEET AND SHE LOOKS WORSE FOR WEAR! THE AMAZING GIRL GRABS CHARLIE MARR WHO IS GETTING BACK UP AND DELIVERS A BACK CRACKER! MARR SCREAMS IN PAIN AS SHE RUNS AGAINST THE ROPES AND DELIVERS A SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT!
Persephone: Why aren;t they eliminating anyone!? They are all gassed and tired! We have four of the first five entries still here! And we are about to get number 20 shortly! Please let it be a big surprise and it is Rexy… please! Anything for that… please…… I will go to church….

(‘Ready To Die’ by The Notorious B.I.G. begins to blast through the speakers of the arena as the camera goes to Jay Jerry Johnson inside of the ring looking towards the stage with an irate expression on his face while clutching onto the ropes. Lucas Johnson is seen appearing from the backstage area and making a beeline towards the ring, with Jay yelling at him to get in as the former members of J&J Supremacy look to tear one another apart!)
Persephone: If this was a surprise then Abel Atami is Mr. DEDEDE.
Stew-O: LUCAS JOHNSON IS THE 20TH ENTRANT INTO THE GRAND RAMPAGE MATCH, WASTING NO TIME SLIDING INTO THE RING AND PUSHING THROUGH THE MASSES BEFORE TACKLING JAY JERRY JOHNSON DOWN TO THE GROUND! LUCAS BEGINS TO LEVEL HIM WITH BRUTAL PALM STRIKES, BUT JAY FLIPS THE TWO OF THEM OVER GETTING SOME STRIKES OF HIS OWN IN AS THE TWO OF THEM ARE ABSOLUTELY RELENTLESS! WE KNOW THAT LUCAS WAS THE ONE TO ATTACK FITZGERALD, AND AFTER EVERYTHING THEY WENT THROUGH IN THE WEEKS BEFORE THAT, JAY COULD NOT FEEL MORE BETRAYED AND HEARTBROKEN!
Gavin Kirkland: Lucas shoves Jay away, allowing himself some room as Jay shoots up to his feet. RUNNING TO THE ROPES AND BACK BEFORE NAILING LUCAS WITH A PENALTY KICK TOWARDS THE CHEST! Jay now brings Lucas up, TURNING HIM AROUND BEFORE LIFTING HIM UP INTO A GERMAN SUPLEX- But Lucas manages to flip over him and stumble backwards… BEFORE NAILING JAY WITH A SPINNING HEEL KICK TO THE SIDE OF HIS HEAD WHICH SENDS HIM CRUMBLING DOWN TO THE CANVAS!
Stew-O: Meanwhile it seems like the brawl between The Haircare Kings, Amir Yusuf, and Limmy Monaghan have begun to dissipate. But despite that the situation has not calmed down, with 12 people in the ring at once you always have to stay on your feet. Jake is going after Solomon Stane, Chris and Ayu Megumi are laying into one another, Amir and Ruler, alongside Limmy and Terry who are absolutely battering one another in a corner. While that’s 10 people accounted for, Abel Atami is seen struggling to recover right now, while Charlie Marr might as well be sipping a margarita in the corner watching the entire thing unfold-
Gavin Kirkland: BUT SPEAKING OF ABEL AND CHARLIE I DON’T THINK ABEL IS GOING TO LET THAT LAST MUCH LONGER AS HE LAUNCHES FORWARD AND CONNECTS WITH A FOREARM TO THE FACE OF CHARLIE! Charlie is sent backward into the corner, before Abel throws him down towards the center of the ring and turns around… BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A KNEE STRIKE TO THE SKULL WHICH DROPS THE HARDCORE CHAMPION DOWN TO THE CANVAS!
(Abel Atami spins himself away from Charlie Marr and looks towards the hard camera, making a Championship gesture around his waist with a smirk. While he does that though… a pissed off Charlie rises up behind him, unhappy that Abel even had the audacity to look him in the eyes.)
Persephone: Who in their right mind would believe Abel Atami is remotely close to Charlie Marr’s level? I get that being at Charlie’s level is a low bar to begin with, but Abel is in the deepest depths of hell. We’ve already had enough punishment being forced to sit through what Ronan Malosi believes to be his defining moment inevitably losing to him in two weeks, why this-
Stew-O: ‘CHARING CROSS’ TO ABEL ATAMI! DISCUS LARIAT KNOCKS THE FORMER ‘SAMOAN MAMBA’ OUT COLD COURTESY OF THE HARDCORE CHAMPION!
Gavin Kirkland: Saudi’s own bay bee! :blessed: Charlie doesn’t have much time to take a break though as he seems to have bumped into a diverged brawl between The Haircare Kings, Solomon Stane, and Ayu Megumi! Solomon looks happy to fight the two of them off on his own, but Ayu seems to be eager to get her hands on the two of them considering what happened at Dia Del Diablo a few months back. Charlie Marr looks to restore some order though, AS HE TURNS JAKE AROUND AND SUCKER PUNCHES HIM IN THE FACE! That drops him down to the mat while Solomon perks up, ONLY TO BE MET BY A BIG BOOT TO THE FACE WHICH SENDS HIM BACK AGAINST THE ROPES! Charlie is going ham right now as Chris grabs him- ONLY FOR CHARLIE TO CONNECT WITH A BACK ELBOW TO THE NOSE! BUT BEFORE CHARLIE CAN GET HIS HANDS ON AYU HE’S MET WITH A BICYCLE KICK TO THE FACE WHICH SENDS HIM TUMBLING DOWN TO THE CANVAS!
Stew-O: Meanwhile, both Jay and Lucas are still teeing off on one another! If it was not made apparent from the start that they hate each other’s guts, well there’s your indicator folks. Jay has Lucas up, sending him towards the ropes with an Irish whip… GOING FOR ‘PARALLELISM’! ROCKET KICK- NO! Lucas ducks under that while Jay gets up to a knee, IN WHICH LUCAS SWOOPS IN AND PLANTS HIM DOWN ONTO THE CANVAS WITH A SNAP DDT! Jay clutches his head and gets back up to his feet- ONLY FOR LUCAS TO GO FOR A JUMPING CUTTER! ‘THE BLUEPRINT’! NO! JAY SHOVES LUCAS AWAY BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A JUMPING CUTTER OF HIS OWN! ‘PRETTY VISITOR’ CONNECTS!
Gavin Kirkland: While Ruler is stomping a mudhole into Amir Yusuf in the corner, Limmy Monaghan and Terry Chambers have not taken their foot off of the gas pedal! Limmy gets the advantage though, landing punches on Terry who is pressed up against the ropes! From there Limmy runs to the ropes and back… GOING FOR ‘MURDER TO EXCELLENCE’! BICYCLE KNEE- Only for Terry to sidestep and grab Limmy, BEFORE PUSHING HIM UP AGAINST THE ROPES AND BEGINNING TO CHOKE HIM OUT!
Terry Chambers: (Off-Mic) Any… means… necessary…
Limmy Monaghan: (Off-Mic) Shut… the fuck… up…
Persephone: Well while that weird conversation is happening, unfortunately, there is another person entering into the match. This is number what now? I don’t care, too many people anyway…

(‘The Outsiders’ by Eric Church begins to play up, with the crowd erupting into absolutely deafening cheers while National Elite Champion Donovan Duke is seen making his way out from the backstage area. He wastes no time, ramping his speed up to a sprint while a majority of the people in the ring stop what they’re doing to look on!)
Stew-O: TO ALL WHO THREW THEIR CHIPS ON THE TABLE, GET READY TO BE BANKRUPT! DONOVAN DUKE IS ENTRANT 21 INTO THE GRAND RAMPAGE MATCH!
Gavin Kirkland: DONOVAN SLIDES INTO THE RING, AYU MEGUMI RUNS TOWARDS HIM ONLY TO BE MET WITH A CLOTHESLINE! CHRIS ELITE IS BACK UP TO HIS FEET, TURNING TOWARDS DONOVAN ONLY TO BE MET WITH A THRUST KICK TOWARDS THE JAW! AMIR YUSUF IS UP NEXT, BUT HE ENDS UP WITH THE SAME LUCK AS THE REST WITH DONOVAN POPPING HIM UP INTO THE AIR WITH A BACK BODY DROP!
Stew-O: DONOVAN IS ON A ROLL RIGHT NOW- Only for Solomon Stane from behind to interject himself into the equation and connect with a brutal forearm to the back of Donovan’s head dropping him down to a kneeling position! Solomon now bringing himself in front of him before sending him towards the ropes with an Irish whip, NAILING HIM WITH A SIDE KICK TOWARDS THE HEAD WHICH DERAILS ANY MOMENTUM THAT HE COULD’VE AT LEFT OUT OF THE GATE!
Persephone: This was the dude that beat Mr. DEDEDE? I mean, I don’t like the dude, I think he’s an old piece of shit with a hag of a- Nevermind, don’t want to be fired when I’m making this much money just sitting here.
Gavin Kirkland: Diverting our attention away from Solomon and Donovan, Abel and Ruler have gotten their hands on one another. Abel has managed to press Ruler up in the corner, RUNNING FORWARD AND LEVELING HIM WITH A SPLASH! Ruler is crushed now while Abel brings him towards the center of the ring, POPPING HIM UP OFF OF THE CANVAS AND LAYING HIM OUT WITH A SCOOP SLAM! Abel then runs to the ropes and back, LEAPING INTO THE AIR FOR A LEG DROP- BUT NOBODY HOME AS RULER ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY! Abel shoots up to his feet- ONLY FOR RULER TO CONNECT WITH A BUSAIKU KNEE! ‘REVOLUTIONIZER’ CONNECTS!
Stew-O: Meanwhile looking at the rest of the action we have going on inside of the ring… Donovan Duke is beginning to mount some offense on Solomon Stane. Limmy Monaghan has turned his attention elsewhere attacking Ayu Megumi, same as Terry Chambers who has met a formidable foe in Chris Elite. Amir Yusuf is down on the mat, and who seems to be the culprit is one Jake Smith who has found himself throwing fists at Charlie Marr who is reciprocating the attack. And of course, we can’t forget Jay Jerry Johnson and Lucas Johnson who are STILL fighting one another.
Persephone: Gawd when will they realize that Fitzgerald dude or whatever meant absolutely nothing and they can move on…
Gavin Kirkland: Ayu manages to send Limmy towards the ropes, GOING FOR A HIGH KNEE STRIKE TO THE HEAD- BUT LIMMY DUCKS UNDER IT BEFORE GRABBING AROUND THE WAIST OF AYU AND LIFTING HER INTO THE AIR WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX! Ayu is dropped down to the mat while Limmy scrambles up, RUNNING FORWARD AND GOING FOR A KNEE STRIKE- BUT AYU GOES UNDER AND GRABS THE LEGS OF LIMMY BEFORE PULLING HIM DOWN TO THE MAT! Limmy clutches onto the ropes and gets himself back up- ONLY FOR AYU TO CONNECT WITH ‘FATALITY”! BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE! BUT WAIT! LIMMY WITH A BURST OF STRENGTH LAUNCHES INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTS WITH ‘MURDER TO EXCELLENCE’ IN RESPONSE! BICYCLE KNEE OF HIS OWN AS BOTH LIMMY AND AYU DROP DOWN TO THE CANVAS!
Stew-O: Meanwhile Solomon Stane has stopped Donovan Duke in his tracks, throwing him towards the ropes and back… BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A LARIAT- But Donovan manages to duck under that, running to the opposite pair of ropes… BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A ROLLING KOPPU KICK TO THE HEAD IN RETALIATION! Solomon takes a hard tumble while Donovan gets back up to his feet, LAUNCHING INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTING WITH A KNEE DROP TOWARDS THE SKULL TO KEEP HIM DOWN ONTO THE MAT! BUT WHAT HE DOESN’T SEE IS AMIR YUSUF FROM BEHIND CONNECTING WITH A JUMPING NECKBREAKER! Donovan is laid out but quickly rolls towards the ropes to get himself back up to his feet using them, WHILE AMIR RUNS FORWARD AND LOOKS TO CLOTHESLINE DONOVAN OVER THE TOP ROPE!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT DONOVAN MANAGES TO DOUBLE DOWN AND LIFT AMIR OVER THE TOP ROPE! AMIR IS ELIMINATED! AMIR YUSUF IS OUT OF THE GRAND RAMPAGE MATCH!
Persephone: YES!
Stew-O: DONOVAN WAS LURED INTO A FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY THOUGH WITH AMIR MANAGING TO LAND ON THE APRON!
Persephone: NO!
Gavin Kirkland: Donovan takes a moment to catch his breath, but I think he realizes something is off not hearing the elimination announcement, turning around- ONLY FOR AMIR TO LAUNCH HIMSELF THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE AND TAKE DONOVAN DOWN TO THE MAT WITH A SLINGSHOT ROLLING FACEBUSTER! Amir isn’t done though as he turns around, running to the corner… RUNNING UP THE TURNBUCKLE PADDING AND LAUNCHING HIMSELF OFF BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A BEAUTIFUL SHOOTING STAR PRESS!
Stew-O: On the other hand, Chris Elite has Terry Chambers down on the mat. The first two entrants into this match are going at it right now, and it’s apparent that toll is beginning to weigh down Chris on his feet, BUT THAT DOESN’T STOP HIM AS HE TURNS AROUND AND LAUNCHES HIMSELF INTO THE AIR BEFORE CRUSHING TERRY WITH A MOONSAULT! Chris then runs to the ropes and back… LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND GOING FOR A FRONT FLIP SENTON- NOBODY HOME! Terry manages to roll out of his way before both get back up to their feet, ONLY FOR TERRY TO GRAB A HOLD OF HIM AND SEND HIM FLYING INTO THE TURNBUCKLE PADDING WITH A BELLY-TO-BELLY SUPLEX!
Gavin Kirkland: Meanwhile it looks like the countdown has begun, and our 22nd entrant in this match is eagerly waiting backstage to enter. Who could it be, ladies and gentlemen???
Persephone: Someone with a pistol so I can end my misery.

(‘Hail to the King’ by Avenged Sevenfold then begins to play throughout the PA system, with the crowd giving a very negative reaction to Lucas Knight who appears out on the stage. He nonchalantly lingers for a moment, taking the time to slowly peel off his military jacket, before beginning to jog down the ramp and towards the ring from there!)
Stew-O: Here comes Showdown’s Lucas Knight who slides right into the ring, SPINNING AROUND AND NAILING THE FIRST PERSON HE SEES WITH A PUNCH TO THE FACE WHO HAPPENS TO BE TERRY CHAMBERS! That knocks him down to the ground while Solomon Stane has gotten back up, charging towards the new entrant- ONLY FOR LUCAS TO TAKE HIM DOWN THIS TIME WITH AN EMPHATIC RUNNING LARIAT!
Gavin Kirkland: Lucas Johnson finally diverts himself away from Jay Jerry Johnson, nailing the other Lucas in the abdomen with a boot! Lucas Knight doubles over while Lucas Johnson sets him up, GOING FOR AN AXE KICK TO THE BACK OF HIS HEAD! But Lucas Knight manages to dodge that, BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A KICK TO THE KNEECAP! Lucas Johnson is dropped down to a kneeling position while Lucas Knight runs to the ropes and back, PERHAPS GOING FOR A RUNNING EUROPEAN UPPERCUT TO THE JAW OF LUCAS JOHNSON-
Stew-O: BUT LIMMY MONAGHAN JUST GOT BACK UP TO HIS FEET! HE SPRINTED TOWARDS LUCAS KNIGHT WHILE HE REBOUNDS OFF OF THE ROPES CONNECTING WITH A SWINGING BACK ELBOW TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD BEFORE HE CAN TURN AROUND! ‘EMPIRE STATE OF MIND’ CONNECTS AS THE SHEER IMPACT OF THE STRIKE SENDS BOTH LIMMY AND LUCAS OVER THE TOP ROPE!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT ONLY ONE OF THEM GRABS A HOLD OF THE TOP ROPE IN TIME AND THAT’S LIMMY MONAGHAN! LUCAS KNIGHT TAKES A HARD TUMBLE TO RINGSIDE AND IT’S OVER FOR HIM!
Bella Braxton: LUCAS KNIGHT HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!
Persephone: All offense, RIP bozo. FINALLY an elimination!
Stew-O: Lucas Knight is gone as fast as he entered, and whilst that’s unfortunate, the show must go on as that marks the ninth elimination in this matchup so far! Limmy Monaghan has a smirk on his face while he lands back inside of the ring and turns around- ONLY FOR ABEL ATAMI TO RUN IN LOOKING TO GET A QUICK ELIMINATION! But Limmy side steps before turning around, and connecting with a forearm- NO! Abel ducks under and connects with a spinning gut kick towards the abdomen! Limmy falls backward against the ropes, but rebounds and uses that as momentum to run towards Limmy! TAKING HIM DOWN TO THE MAT WITH A BOOT TO THE FACE! Limmy is sent tumbling before he skids down to a knee, ONLY FOR ABEL TO LEAP OFF OF THE ROPES AND CONNECT WITH A SPRINGBOARD KICK TO THE FACE WHICH DROPS LIMMY DOWN TO THE GROUND! Abel now running to the ropes and back… GOING FOR ‘PERFECT SLICE’! HANDSPRING CUTTER!
Gavin Kirkland: ‘STARMAKER’!
Stew-O: JAKE SMITH OUT OF NOWHERE SLIDES IN AND DROPS ABEL WITH A ROLLING CUTTER! WHETHER THAT WAS INADVERTENT OR NOT HE JUST SAVED THE BEHIND OF HIS FORMER INSURGENCY PARTNER! Jake now grabs Abel, THROWING HIM OUT OF THE RING!
Gavin Kirkland: WAIT! ABEL REBOUNDS OFF OF THE ROPES AND USES THAT AS MOMENTUM TO TAKE DOWN JAKE! NOT YET-
Stew-O: DONOVAN DUKE JUST APPEARED OUT OF NOWHERE AND LIFTS ABEL OFF OF THE GROUND BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A TILT-A-WHIRL SIT-OUT GOURDBUSTER! THAT WASN’T JUST ANY MOVE THOUGH! ABEL’S FACE LANDED FLUSH AGAINST THE KNEES OF LIMMY MONAGHAN! THAT MOVE SEEMS VERY FAMILIAR DOESN’T IT???
Gavin Kirkland: WE’LL HAVE TO FIND OUT LATER AS SLIGHTLY LESS ATTRACTIVE MEMBER OF THE TRIO BEHIND LIMMY DONOVAN DUKE JUST GRABBED ABEL AND TOSSED HIM OUT OF THE RING! ABEL ATAMI IS OUT!
Bella Braxton: ABEL ATAMI HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!
(Donovan Duke dusts his hands while Limmy Monaghan is seen catching his breath in a kneeling position. Jake Smith looks on at the two of them with a smile on his face, spreading his arms out looking like a proud father after Donovan and Limmy connected with their old ‘Helter Skelter’ maneuver on the very unfortunate Abel Atami.)
Jake Smith: (Off-Mic) :mjcry: Couldn’t be happier-
Stew-O: DONOVAN WITH A SPINNING BACK FIST TO JAKE! ‘DEALER’S CHOICE’!
Persephone: :mjlol: And some people were picking him to win.
(Donovan Duke looks down at Jake Smith who looks completely out of it right now. Limmy Monaghan looks on, weakly chuckling before pulling himself back up to his feet. Donovan simply shrugs his shoulders before turning back around…)
Gavin Kirkland: NO MATTER HOW STUPID JAKE JUST MADE HIMSELF LOOK, CHRIS ELITE SPRINGS INTO ACTION SAVING HIS TAG TEAM PARTNER! LAUNCHING DONOVAN INTO THE AIR WITH THE ‘ALMIGHTY PUSH’! MEANWHILE CHARLIE MARR JUST TOOK DOWN LIMMY MONAGHAN WITH A LEAPING CLOTHESLINE TO THE HEAD!
Stew-O: Other than that mess of an exchange going on over there, Solomon Stane is teeing off on a Terry Chambers who was struggling to recover back up to his feet. Jay Jerry Johnson has his hands on Ruler as the two Elitists very familiar with one another lock eyes before lunging at each other! Lucas Johnson in the meanwhile has finally managed to rip himself away from Jay, as he lays on the apron catching his breath. Which only leaves Amir Yusuf and Ayu Megumi who of course are at one another’s throats right now attacking each other relentlessly!
Persephone: Blah blah blah countdown timer blah blah blah 23rd entrant blah blah blah “wHo WiLl It Be???”

(‘The Only Thing They Fear Is You’ by Mick Gordon as the crowd loses their collective minds, in a very negative way of course, with Ryan Wilson rushing out from the backstage area. He has a shiteating grin on his face as he amps up the crowd, yelling at them to boo louder while he runs down the ramp.)
Persephone: EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.
Stew-O: Oh boy, more and more heavy artillery begin to fill the ring as this match goes on with Ryan WIlson being the latest inclusion! Ryan slides into the ring, INSTANTLY SPRINTING TOWARDS TERRY CHAMBERS BEFORE NAILING HIM WITH A HELLUVA KICK! Lucas Johnson makes his way towards Ryan and turns him around- ONLY FOR RYAN TO CONNECT WITH A FOREARM STRIKE TO THE FACE WHICH SENDS HIM STAGGERING BACK! Lucas is hurt but that is only momentarily as he steps up to Ryan again- ONLY FOR RYAN TO GRAB LUCAS AND SEND HIM INTO AN EXPLODER SUPLEX! LUCAS IS LAUNCHED UP INTO THE AIR BEFORE CRASHING DOWN AGAINST TERRY CHAMBERS IN THE CORNER!
Gavin Kirkland: Ryan right out of the gate not wasting time right now leveling the competition, he wants to make sure that there is no doubt in anyone’s mind that he is going to be the one that comes out on top in the Grand Rampage matchup. On the other side of the ring Ruler grabs a hold of Jay, BEFORE POPPING HIM UP OFF THE GROUND AND CONNECTING WITH AN ATOMIC DROP! Jay tumbles down to the mat on all fours, WHILE COINCIDENTALLY RYAN RUNS TOWARDS RULER AND GRABS A HOLD OF HIM BEFORE TAKING HIM DOWN TO THE MAT WITH A HOOKING ARM DRAG! Ruler rolls to a seated position while Ryan positions himself in front of him, LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTING WITH A DROPKICK TO HIS FACE FULLY DROPPING HIM DOWN TO THE CANVAS!
Stew-O: Ryan now getting back up to his feet- ONLY FOR JAY TO GET BACK UP AND SEND A KNEE RIGHT INTO HIS ABDOMEN! Ryan plops down to a kneeling position while Jay focuses his sights completely on him, LAUNCHING INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTING WITH AN ENZUIGIRI TO THE SIDE OF RYAN’S HEAD! Jay has Ryan down on the ground and looks to make sure it stays that way, meanwhile Solomon Stane has put his hands into the battle between Ayu Megumi and Amir Yusuf! Ayu is down to a knee while Amir runs forward- ONLY FOR SOLOMON TO CONNECT WITH A HEADBUTT TOWARDS THE SKULL! Ayu manages to get back up to her feet as she runs towards him- ONLY FOR SOLOMON TO GRAB HER AROUND THE WAIST BEFORE SWINGING HER AROUND WITH EASE INTO A BRUTAL SPINEBUSTER DOWN ONTO THE CANVAS!
Gavin Kirkland: Solomon grabbing the throat of Amir while he’s down on the ground, lifting him up… INTO ‘TRIUMPH OF TRUTH’! ONE-HANDED SIT-OUT CHOKESLAM- DOESN’T CONNECT! Amir connects with an elbow to the side of the face of Solomon forcing him to let go! Solomon stumbles backward, WHILE AMIR CONNECTS WITH A SUPERKICK! Solomon turns around, ONLY TO BE MET WITH A PELE KICK BY AYU MEGUMI! Look at that temporary teamwork by Amir and Ayu, successfully managing to take the bigger Elitist down to the mat before he could get the better of them! But it looks like that alliance is not going to last long, WITH AMIR OUT OF NOWHERE TURNING AROUND AND LAUNCHING OFF OF THE ROPES BEFORE DROPPING AYU DOWN TO THE CANVAS WITH A SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT! WHAT A MOVE!
Stew-O: Chris Elite and Donovan Duke have been throwing everything they have at one another so far! Chris with a forearm! But Donovan responds with one back! Chris with a kick to the abdomen! But Donovan instead counters with a high kick to the head! CHRIS NOW GOING FOR A SPINNING BACK FIST- BUT DONOVAN DUCKS UNDER BEFORE GRABBING CHRIS AROUND HIS WAIST AND POPPING HIM UP OFF THE GROUND INTO A BACK SUPLEX- But it’s Chris that manages to flip over him just in time! Chris stumbles backward while Donovan turns around and runs towards him, only for Chris to side-step and throw him towards the ropes instead… LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTING WITH A DROPKICK TO HIS CHEST!
Gavin Kirkland: Following that Charlie Marr and Limmy Monaghan continue to tee into one another! We know the bad blood between the two of them, especially after everything they’ve been through on the opposite side of the ring from one another! Charlie is backed against the corner while a fatigued Limmy makes his way towards him, going under and scooping Charlie up before setting him up into a seated position on the top turnbuckle! Limmy now throws punch after punch towards the face of Charlie trying to soften him up some more before going for whatever the hell he might be thinking here! Limmy making his way up to the top rope- BUT BEFORE HE CAN DO ANYTHING IT’S CHARLIE THAT CONNECTS WITH A HEADBUTT TO HIS SKULL! Limmy is completely taken aback as he falls off of the top rope and dips himself down to a knee- ONLY FOR CHARLIE TO LEAP INTO THE AIR AND CONNECT WITH A FLYING KNEE STRIKE TOWARDS THE HEAD TO DROP HIM DOWN!
Stew-O: It looks like while all of that is going on the countdown has begun! Who is going to be the 24th entrant into the Grand Rampage match???
Persephone: Let’s pray it’s no one this time around.

(‘KARATE’ by BABYMETAL then begins to play up following that with the crowd responding with surprising cheers upon hearing the familiar theme. The camera goes over to the stage to show Nariko making her way out from the backstage area. She takes her hood off of her face, looking around with the slightest of a smile, before then setting her sights on the ring. She rips off the hoodie and runs down the ramp, looking to make an impact right out of the gate!)
Gavin Kirkland: 😍😍😍😍😍 Dynasty’s 😍😍😍😍😍 returning 😍😍😍😍😍 Nariko 😍😍😍😍😍 has entered 😍😍😍😍😍 into 😍😍😍😍😍 the Grand Rampage match!!! 😍😍😍😍😍
Stew-O: We haven’t seen her since she got injured at the hands of Lisa Wren on an episode of Dynasty, and it seems that has healed up and she is more than ready to enter back into the fray here tonight! Nariko slides into the ring, NAILING A KNEE AGAINST THE SKULL OF A RECOVERING CHARLIE! Amir makes his way towards her- ONLY FOR NARIKO TO SPRINT FORWARD AND GRAB A HOLD OF HIM BEFORE DROPPING HIM DOWN TO THE MAT WITH A BULLDOG! From there, Nariko turns around and begins to make her way up to the top rope, positioning herself while Amir gets up-
Gavin Kirkland: BUT AYU MEGUMI RUNS FORWARD AND GRABS A HOLD OF HER LOOKING TO PULL HER OFF THE TOP! But it’s Nariko that boots her in the face, forcing her back! Nariko setting Ayu up now, LEAPING OFF OF THE TOP ROPE AND CONNECTING WITH A MISSILE DROPKICK TOWARDS THE CHEST OF AYU! Two Japanese women fighting??? This is my dream!
Persephone: PLEASE bro, seek help.
Stew-O: Jake Smith is back up to his feet inside of the ring, making his way towards Jay Jerry Johnson and grabbing him by the hair… BEFORE TURNING HIM AROUND AND FLOORING HIM WITH A BRUTAL EUROPEAN UPPERCUT! Jake looks to get himself back into this match now, grabbing Jay and throwing him towards the ropes… BEFORE LOOKING TO LAUNCH HIM INTO THE AIR WITH A BACK BODY DROP- BUT THAT DOESN’T HAPPEN WITH JAY CONNECTING WITH A KNEE TO THE SKULL BEFORE THAT CAN CONNECT! Jake isn’t entirely taken down right now as he steps forward, CONNECTING WITH A BICYCLE KICK-
(CRACK!)
Gavin Kirkland: WHAT THE HELL?! LUCAS JOHNSON JUST WHACKED JAY JERRY JOHNSON WITH A STEEL CHAIR! WHERE THE HELL DID HE EVEN GET THAT FROM?!
Persephone: Are you blind? Did you not see him like… slide out of the ring???
Stew-O: Jay is taken down while Jake retreats back to focus on someone else, but Lucas isn’t done here as he grabs a hold of the chair once more… SLAMMING IT AGAINST THE CHEST OF JAY! Jay rolling around in pain, BEFORE LUCAS LIFTS IT UP ONCE AGAIN AND CONNECTS THIS TIME AGAINST HIS SPINE! Jay giving a cry of pain, and folks I don’t know how much he can take this is really a sickening display by Lucas right now.
(Lucas Johnson grabs Jay Jerry Johnson by the hair before tugging him up to his feet, looking into his eyes with a serious expression.)
Lucas Johnson: (Off-Mic) You stupid man. I am a snake. You deserve to die just as your friend Fitzgerald did-
Gavin Kirkland: WELL THAT JUST WOKE SOMETHING UP IN JAY AS JAY JUST CONNECTED WITH AN ELBOW TOWARDS THE ABDOMEN BEFORE LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTING WITH A KNEE! LUCAS STUMBLES BACKWARD BUT MANAGES TO FALL AGAINST THE ROPES TO KEEP HIM UPRIGHT- ONLY FOR JAY TO RUN FORWARD AND CONNECT WITH ‘PARALLELISM’! ROCKET KICK TOWARDS THE SKULL WHICH DROPS LUCAS DOWN TO THE MAT!
Stew-O: Lucas falls down to the mat and, slowly but surely, begins to rise back up using the ropes. Fitzgerald was Jay Jerry Johnson’s bodyguard, his brother-in-arms, and most importantly, his friend. All of this anger towards Lucas Johnson for manipulating him and using him for his own enjoyment has finally reached its boiling point for Jay and now he looks to finish this! LUCAS IS UP AS JAY RUNS FORWARD GOING FOR ANOTHER ‘PARALLELISM’ ROCKET KICK! THIS TIME TO ELIMINATE LUCAS FROM THIS MATCH FOR GOOD!
Gavin Kirkland: WAIT! WAIT! LUCAS JUST PULLED DOWN THE ROPES! JAY MEETS NOTHING BUT AIR AS HE FALLS OVER THE TOP ROPE AND TUMBLES OFF OF THE APRON AND DOWN TO THE MAT! JAY JERRY JOHNSON IS OUT OF THIS MATCH AND LUCAS JOHNSON IS GRINNING FROM EAR-TO-EAR!
Bella Braxton: JAY JERRY JOHNSON HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!
(Jay Jerry Johnson slides against the barricade with a blank look on his face. He’s looking down at the ground beneath him while Lucas Johnson shakes his head, getting back up to his feet and continuing to push forward in this match. Despite what just happened, there is no doubt that Jay went out there and delivered this week. Having started from the fourth entrant, he pushed himself to his absolute limit and made Jay Jerry Johnson a name to be remembered for a long time now.)
Persephone: Good, that Big Boogie Bhampionship feud is over. Now we can move onto something else, something definitely not all that interesting, but at the same time… well, at least it’s something else and not Lucas Johnson and Jay Jerry Johnson doing a pathetic attempt at “storytelling’.
Stew-O: Well what is happening inside of the ring right now seems completely different from when we last left it. Solomon Stane is stomping down on Chris Elite in the corner! Terry Chambers is choking the life out of Amir Yusuf right now! Jake Smith and Ruler are teeing off one another hitting each other with their best shots! Nariko and Ryan Wilson have met one another with the both of them on the attack! Limmy Monaghan and Ayu Megumi are fighting one another! Meanwhile Donovan Duke and Charlie Marr are doing the same! While of course, we have Lucas Johnson who has decided to take a break in the corner.
Gavin Kirkland: Nariko just Irish-whipped Ryan into the corner, RUNNING FORWARD AND GOING FOR A BOOT TO THE FACE- ONLY FOR RYAN TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY! Ryan from there grabs Nariko from behind, LIFTING HER UP OFF THE GROUND AND DROPPING HER WITH A RELEASE GERMAN SUPLEX! Nariko lands on the mat with a gruesome thud but it doesn’t seem like Ryan is all that sympathetic right now, LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTING WITH A RUNNING KNEE FOLLOWED BY A SUPERMAN PUNCH! ‘SUPERMAN PUNCH 2.0’ CONNECTS TAKING NARIKO DOWN!
Persephone: Speaking of, we might need Superman to save this match if this happens to get any worse… just do the stupid countdown timer thing already.

He looks at his Championship, giving it a kiss before gently laying it onto the ground, taking off his jacket and running down the ramp and to the ring.)
Persephone: Now I don’t watch Showdown… but what the fuck is that abysmal Championship???
Stew-O: That’s the Uno Championship Persephone, and that’s it’s Champion Jonny Airhart who is the 25th entrant into the match. Who knows, maybe you can challenge him for it and you can finally shut the fuck up!
Persephone: WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME-
Gavin Kirkland: Come on guys I gotta keep commentating about the women let’s go! Jonny Airhart jumping up onto the apron, BEFORE LAUNCHING HIMSELF INTO THE AIR CONNECTING WITH A SPRINGBOARD KNEE STRIKE TO THE FACE OF RYAN WILSON DROPPING HIM DOWN TO THE MAT! Lucas Johnson has finally decided to spring to action- BUT JONNY LEAPS INTO THE AIR AND GRABS LUCAS BY THE HEAD BEFORE PLANTING HIM WITH A TORNADO DDT! Jonny isn’t done there as he scoops Lucas back up to his feet… UNWINDING HIM AND KNOCKING HIS HEAD CLEAN OFF OF HIS SHOULDERS WITH AN ABSOLUTELY BRUTAL RIPCORD LARIAT!
Stew-O: Jonny now turning around and beginning to make his way up to the top rope, positioning himself… BEFORE LEAPING OFF AND GOING FOR ‘MAKING THE MONEY’! MODIFIED 630° SENTON! WHICH CONNECTS! LUCAS IS ABSOLUTELY LEVELED AS JONNY GRABS HIM BY THE HEAD AND LOOKS TO THROW HIM OUT OF THE RING! LUCAS JOHNSON HAS BEEN ELIMINATED-
(Lucas Johnson, instead, falls through the middle rope and drops down to the ringside area, saving himself from elimination and allowing a breather in the process.)
Gavin Kirkland: Amir Yusuf meanwhile has a hold of Terry Chambers as he pulls him in, BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A KNEE TOWARDS THE ABDOMEN! Terry is dropped down to a kneeling position while Amir reels himself back, CONNECTING WITH A KNEE STRIKE TOWARDS THE HEAD THIS TIME! Amir isn’t going to let Terry off the hook so easily though, CONNECTING WITH ANOTHER KNEE! Amir does not let up though, GOING FOR ONE MORE KNEE FOR GOOD MEASURE- ONLY FOR TERRY TO GRAB A HOLD OF HIM AND LAUNCH HIM INTO AN EXPLODER SUPLEX! Amir stumbles up to his feet- ONLY TO BE MET BY ‘MOMENT OF SILENCE’ COURTESY OF TERRY CHAMBERS! HEADBUTT TO THE SKULL MIGHT AS WELL KNOCKED AMIR YUSUF OUT COLD!
Stew-O: The Hardcore Champion has set his sights on the National Elite Champion with Charlie Marr quickly approaching Donovan Duke and grabbing him, BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A UPPERCUT TO THE JAW DOUBLING HIM OVER! BEFORE FOLLOWING THAT UP WITH AN AXE HANDLE TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD TAKING HIM DOWN TO THE CANVAS! Donovan is in pain right now while Charlie grabs him and brings him up to his feet, turning him around… BEFORE THROWING HIM SHOULDER FIRST INTO THE RINGPOST! Donovan slouches down to the mat meanwhile Charlie turns his attention elsewhere- ONLY FOR JONNY AIRHART TO RUN IN AND CONNECT WITH A SHOTGUN DROPKICK TO HIS CHEST TO SEND HIM BACKWARD AGAINST THE CORNER THAT DONOVAN WAS JUST IN!
Persephone: Showdown’s Hardcore Champion just got sent to the lord by Showdown’s Uno Champion, maybe we should reconsider who we give Championships to.
Gavin Kirkland: Jonny Airhart is out of the corner now- ONLY FOR CHRIS ELITE TO GO FOR ‘OPEN YA MATA’ TOWARDS HIM! JUMPING KNEE STRIKE! But Jonny ducks under that before turning Chris around, GRABBING HIM AND GOING FOR A STANDING SPANISH FLY- BUT CHRIS MANAGE TO GET HIMSELF OUT OF THAT, KEEPING A HOLD OF HIM BEFORE LAUNCHING HIM INTO A SPANISH FLY OF HIS OWN! Chris then runs to the ropes and back while Jonny shoots up to a seated position, BEFORE GOING FOR A PENALTY KICK- BUT JONNY MANAGES TO GRAB THE LEG BEFORE GETTING BACK UP TO HIS FEET AND TAKING CHRIS DOWN TO THE MAT WITH A DRAGON SCREW!
Stew-O: On the other side of the ring we have Solomon Stane and Ruler who have crossed paths with one another. SOLOMON IS TRYING TO ELIMINATE RULER FROM THIS MATCH BY DUMPING HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE- BUT RULER RESPONDS WITH A BACK ELBOW TO THE FACE FORCING HIM BACK! Solomon is stunned but runs forward- ONLY FOR RULER TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY AND THROW HIM OVER THE TOP! BUT SOLOMON LANDS ON HIS FEET! RULER RUNS TOWARDS SOLOMON LOOKING TO ELIMINATE HIM- BUT SOLOMON WITH A BELL CLAP CRUSHES RULER! Ruler stumbles back while Solomon enters into the ring… BEFORE SOLOMON CONNECTS WITH ‘TRIUMPH OF TRUTH’! ONE-HANDED SIT-OUT CHOKESLAM!

Ronan Malosi: (Off-Mic) THANK YOU MY ADORING FANS! I KNEW YOU LOVED ME! I’LL WIN THIS MATCH JUST FOR YOU!
(With the theme of The Ace still playing through the speakers, Ronan takes a jog down the ramp and towards the ring. He immediately slides in, ready for a fight… before seeing 14 Elitists staring angrily at him. Ronan looks around before chuckling.)
Ronan Malosi: (Off-Mic) Y’all have a nice day.
(Ronan Malosi drops down and rolls out under the bottom rope, while the crowd boos him. He makes his way around the ring, waving his hand at the people in the ring with a smile.)

AMIR NOW IS BEGINNING TO TEE OFF WITH RAPID-FIRE PUNCHES TOWARDS THE FACE OF RONAN COMPLETELY TAKING HIM OFF GUARD! BUT WAIT! JONNY AIRHART JUST SLID IN AND GRABBED AMIR BEFORE DROPPING HIM DOWN WITH A SLEEPER SLAM FROM BEHIND! RONAN COULD NOT BE HAPPIER TO SEE SOMEONE ON HIS SIDE RIGHT NOW AS JONNY JUMPS ONTO THE APRON! HE’S GOING TO THE TOP! ANOTHER ‘MAKING THE MONEY’! MODIFIED 630° SENTON-
Gavin Kirkland: WAIT! WAIT! AN IRATE LIMMY MONAGHAN JUST RAN FORWARD AND CONNECTED WITH A DROPKICK TO THE CHEST OF RONAN MALOSI OUT OF SPITE! RONAN FALLS BACK AND COLLIDES WITH JONNY AIRHART WHILE HE’S ON THE TOP ROPE SENDING JONNY FLYING OFF! JONNY JUST HIT THE GROUND HARD!
Bella Braxton: JONNY AIRHART HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!
(Ronan Malosi looks absolutely stunned right now, he can’t believe what he’s accidentally done. Nonetheless, it’s an elimination credited to him and it looks like Limmy couldn’t care less.)
Stew-O: Meanwhile the battleground continues to dwindle. We have a recovering Amir Yusuf grabbing a hold of Ronan Malosi before looking to continue his fight with him! Terry Chambers and Charlie Marr are butting heads with one another! Nariko and Ruler have met one another and both of them are trading punches! Donovan Duke and Ayu Megumi are both going to war on one another! Limmy Monaghan and Ryan Wilson have decided to attack one another! Then on the other hand we have Chris Elite and Lucas Johnson both trying to recover while Jake Smith and Solomon Stane are once again going at it in this match!
Gavin Kirkland: Solomon lunges at Jake- ONLY FOR JAKE TO CONNECT WITH A SUPERKICK TO THE JAW! Jake isn’t done though, CONNECTING WITH A SUPERKICK TO THE KNEECAP THIS TIME! Jake then turns around and runs towards the ropes while Solomon is down in a kneeling position, GOING FOR A SHINING WIZARD- BUT SOLOMON MANAGES TO DUCK UNDER THAT! Jake crashes down to the ground, WHILE CHRIS ELITE SLIDES IN AND CONNECTS WITH A BICYCLE KICK TO THE JAW!
(Solomon Stane is stunned momentarily, but keeps himself up to a knee only to push upward onto a vertical base. He looks towards the two members of The Haircare Kings, Jake Smith and Chris Elite, who have both met up with one another and look towards one of their future Battle of Egypt opponents. Solomon takes a deep breath before popping his neck.)
Solomon Stane: (Off-Mic) So this is how it’s going to be…
Persephone: Yawn, ur mid, stfu.
Stew-O: CHRIS RUNS FORWARD- ONLY FOR SOLOMON TO NAIL HIM WITH A FOREARM! JAKE FOLLOWS UP- ONLY FOR SOLOMON TO CLUTCH ONTO HIM AND LAUNCH HIM INTO A BELLY-TO-BELLY SUPLEX! CHRIS GETS BACK UP- ONLY FOR SOLOMON TO GRAB HIM AND POP HIM UP OFF THE GROUND BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A SPINNING SPINEBUSTER TO THE HALL OF FAMER! Solomon now turns around while Jake is trying to get up, this isn’t good… SOLOMON IS GOING FOR ‘KEY OF SOLOMON’! SIT-OUT FORWARD FIREMAN’S SLAM TO JAKE!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT CHRIS JUST GRABBED JAKE BY THE LEGS AND PULLED HIM OFF OF THE SHOULDER OF SOLOMON! SOLOMON TURNS AROUND- ONLY TO BE MET WITH A ‘BOX OFFICE SMASH’! SUPERKICK CONNECTS! Jake gets back up to his feet, ONLY TO CONNECT WITH A SUPERKICK OF HIS OWN! To the shock of both of them Solomon only falls against the ropes! As both Jake and Chris look towards one another…
Stew-O: CONNECTING WITH ‘BOX OFFICE FINALE’! DOUBLE SUPERKICK TO THE JAW OF SOLOMON SENDS HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE AND TO THE FLOOR! STATEMENT MADE BY THE HAIRCARE KINGS HERE TONIGHT!
Bella Braxton: SOLOMON STANE HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!
Gavin Kirkland: Tremendous showing by the man with the gorgeous long hair Solomon Stane. He entered from entrant seven and lasted all the way to 26. If something like that doesn’t say anything about the future of this bright young man, then I don’t know what will.
Stew-O: Speaking of entrants though, it appears that the countdown has begun and now we are awaiting the 27th Elitist to enter into the Grand Rampage match! Who is it going to be?!
10..9..8..7..6..5..4..3..2..1…
BUZZ
(‘M3tamorphosis (ft. Kid Cudi)’ by Playboi Carti is heard blasting through the speakers of Yankees Stadium as the crowd absolutely erupts into a thunderous reaction.)
Stew-O: And ladies and gentlemen :lupe: shit just hit the fan.
(The camera goes over to the stage to show EAW Hall of Famer Impact make his way out from the backstage area. He has a serious look on his face, filled to the brim with determination. He warms up his limbs and paces around for a moment, before beginning to jog down the ramp and towards the ring from there.)
Persephone: THE DINOSAURS HAVE COME BACK FROM THE DEAD! AHHH!!!
Gavin Kirkland: IMPACT HAS ARRIVED AND EVERYONE IN THE RING HAS TAKEN NOTICE! IMPACT SLIDES INTO THE RING AND IMMEDIATELY LEVELS TERRY CHAMBERS WITH A KNEE TO THE ABDOMEN! HE FROM THERE TURNS AROUND AND RUNS TO THE ROPES BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A BASEMENT DROPKICK TO THE KNEECAP OF CHRIS ELITE DROPPING HIM DOWN TO THE MAT! AMIR YUSUF IS NEXT UP TO BAT- ONLY FOR IMPACT TO GRAB HIM AND CONNECT WITH AN ATOMIC DROP! BEFORE POPPING HIM UP INTO THE AIR AND DROPPING HIM DOWN WITH A SCOOP SLAM!
Stew-O: Meanwhile, LUCAS JOHNSON JUST CONNECTED WITH A ROCKET KICK TO RULER! ‘THE LIGHTSWITCH’ CONNECTS- ONLY TO TURN AROUND AND BE MET WITH ‘ETHEREAL BLADE”! AYU MEGUMI WITH A ROCKET KICK OF HER OWN! AYU NOW STEPPING ONTO THE APRON AS I THINK SHE LOOKS TO FINISH LUCAS OFF WITH A TOP ROPE AERIAL ASSAULT-
Gavin Kirkland: WAIT! WAIT! IMPACT WITH ‘FIST OF FURY’ TO AYU! RIGHT HOOK TO THE SIDE OF THE FACE COURTESY OF THE 9-TIME WORLD CHAMPION WHICH SENDS HER OUT OF THE RING! AYU IS OUT!
Bella Braxton: AYU MEGUMI HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!
Stew-O: IMPACT RIGHT OUT OF THE GATE JUST ARRIVED AND GOT HIS FIRST ELIMINATION OF WHAT COULD BE MANY! HE IS NOT PLAYING GAMES THIS YEAR! Looking away from Impact’s rampage though, Ronan Malosi has just sent Nariko towards the ropes near his vicinity, SPINNING AROUND AND CONNECTING WITH A BACK ELBOW TO THE BRIDGE OF HER NOSE! Nariko falls backward against the ropes, WHILE RONAN RUNS FORWARD AND LOOKS TO SEND HER OVER THE TOP- ONLY FOR NARIKO TO RESPOND WITH A BOOT TO THE FACE! Nariko then turns around… BEFORE LEAPING OFF OF THE ROPES CONNECTING WITH A SPRINGBOARD ROUNDHOUSE KICK!
Gavin Kirkland: MEANWHILE LIKE A BIRD CHARLIE MARR SOARS OFF OF THE TOP ROPE AND NAILS RYAN WILSON WITH A DIVING CLOTHESLINE! Charlie rolls back up to his feet- ONLY TO BE MET WITH A ROLLING KOPPU KICK BY DONOVAN DUKE RIGHT TOWARDS HIS HEAD! Charlie slides down to a seated position while Donovan turns around- ONLY TO BE MET WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO THE HEAD BY LIMMY MONAGHAN! This is a four-way dance now as Ryan runs forward, ONLY FOR LIMMY TO THROW HIM INTO THE CORNER- BUT RYAN BOUNCES OFF BEFORE LAUNCHING INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTING WITH A PELE KICK TOWARDS THE HEAD OF LIMMY!
Stew-O: Ryan then turns around- ONLY TO BE MET WITH A NECKBREAKER BY CHARLIE MARR! Donovan then gets back up as well- AS CHARLIE GOES UNDER THIS TIME AND GRABS HIM BY THE LEGS BEFORE LIFTING HIM UP AND PLANTING HIM DOWN ONTO THE CANVAS WITH A FLAPJACK! Going back to Impact though it seems the one that has slowed down his momentum is Lucas Johnson, as while Impact had him up against the corner, Lucas managed to turn him around and push Impact up against them instead! Lucas now is beginning to tee off with rapid-fire strikes towards the abdomen and face! All while Impact does his best to cover up and recover after being taken off guard like that!
Persephone: EAW Hall of Famer versus… Lucas Johnson. Hmmmm…
Gavin Kirkland: Lucas grabs Impact by the head before throwing him down towards the center of the ring, he begins to make his way over- ONLY FOR LIMMY MONAGHAN TO CONNECT WITH A FOREARM SMASH WHICH PRESSES HIM UP AGAINST THE ROPES! Limmy then steps back, RUNNING FORWARD AND LOOKING TO SEND LUCAS OVER THE TOP ROPE WITH A BOOT- ONLY FOR LUCAS TO DUCK UNDER THAT AS LIMMY FALLS OVER THE TOP ROPE! LIMMY MONAGHAN IS OUT OF THE MATCH!
Stew-O: WAIT! WAIT! LIMMY LANDS ON THE APRON AND GRABS LUCAS BY THE HEAD BEFORE PULLING HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE AND ONTO THE APRON WITH HIM! LUCAS BARELY HOLDS ON AND GETS BACK UP BEFORE THROWING A PUNCH AT LIMMY- BUT LIMMY DUCKS UNDER BEFORE PULLING LUCAS UP INTO AN ELECTRIC CHAIR POSITION… ‘DEATH NOTE’ ONTO THE APRON! ONE-HANDED ELECTRIC CHAIR DRIVER CONNECTS SENDING LUCAS OFF OF THE APRON! LUCAS JOHNSON IS OUT!
Bella Braxton: LUCAS JOHNSON HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!
Gavin Kirkland: Another elimination in the books, leaving us with 12 Elitists in the ring at the moment. But that number is about to add up to 13 real quick with the countdown beginning. Who is going to be entrant number 28 into the Grand Rampage match???
10..9..8..7..6..5..4..3..2..1…
BUZZ
(‘The Rumbling’ by SiM begins to play up now with the crowd popping off for Theron Nikolas who is seen making his way out from the backstage area. He tugs at the collar for the leather jacket he has on before ripping it off of him and beginning to make his way down the ramp and towards the ring from there.)
Persephone: Oh brother, we pulled another homeless dude off the street…
Stew-O: And here comes Showdown’s Theron Nikolas! Theron slides into the ring, TAKING IMPACT FROM BEHIND AND LAUNCHING HIM INTO A SNAP DRAGON SUPLEX! Ryan Wilson runs towards him now, only for Theron to side-step and throw Ryan towards the ropes… BEFORE GRABBING HIM BY THE ARM AND PLANTING HIM WITH A SNAP ARM DRAG! Theron keeps a hold of him by the arm though, pulling Ryan back up to his feet… BEFORE POPPING HIM UP INTO THE AIR AND DROPPING HIM DOWN TO THE MAT WITH A SAITO SUPLEX THIS TIME! THERON IS ALL BUSINESS IN THE GRAND RAMPAGE MATCH!
Gavin Kirkland: MEANWHILE OFF OF THE ROPES WE SEE AMIR YUSUF CONNECTING WITH A SLINGSHOT ROLLING FACEBUSTER ONTO CHRIS ELITE! Amir rolls back up- ONLY FOR TERRY TO CLOBBER HIM WITH A RUNNING LARIAT! BUT WHAT TERRY DOESN”T SEE IS RONAN MALOSI FROM BEHIND CONNECTING WITH A CHOP BLOCK TO THE BACK OF HIS KNEE! Ronan then turns and runs to the ropes while Terry is down in a kneeling position… CONNECTING WITH A HARD RIGHT TO THE SIDE OF HIS HEAD TAKING HIM DOWN!
Stew-O: BUT WHAT RONAN DOESN’T SEE THIS TIME IS NARIKO WHO SPINS AROUND AND CONNECTS WITH ‘NARI-KO’! SPINNING HOOK KICK TO THE HEAD DROPS HIM DOWN LIKE A SACK OF BRICKS! Nariko is not done though, grabbing Ronan and heaving him towards a corner before situated him in a seated position, Nariko now sets him up… ‘HAIKIRA’ FULL SPRINT RUNNING KNEE STRIKE-
Gavin Kirkland: BUT RONAN GETS BACK UP AND GRABS NARIKO BEFORE LIFTING HER OVER THE TOP ROPE! Nariko manages to hold on though, CONNECTING WITH A ROPE-ASSISTED ENZUIGIRI TOWARDS THE SIDE OF RONAN’S HEAD! Nariko is now bracing herself… BEFORE LAUNCHING OFF AND GOING FOR A SPRINGBOARD KNEE-
Stew-O: WAIT! WAIT! LIMMY MONAGHAN JUST SWOOPED IN AND SWIPED AT THE LEGS OF NARIKO! CAUSING HER TO LOOSE BALANCE AND DROP OFF THE ROPES AND DOWN TO THE RINGSIDE AREA! SHE’S OUT!
Bella Braxton: NARIKO HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!
Gavin Kirkland: That marks the third elimination for the obvious winner of the Grand Rampage match Limmy Monaghan, making him the frontrunner for eliminations in this match!
Stew-O: BUT I THINK RULER LOOKS TO MAKE SURE LIMMY DOESN’T GET ANYMORE ELIMINATIONS AS HE RUNS FORWARD AND LOOKS TO SEND HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE WITH AN ELIMINATION- BUT NO! LIMMY GRABS RULER AND POPS HIM OFF OF THE GROUND BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A STUN GUN! Ruler stumbles backward before dipping down to a kneeling position, BEFORE LIMMY TURNS AROUND AND GOES FOR ‘SILENT WHISPER VII’! SPINNING HEEL KICK TO THE HEAD OF RULER- BUT RULER DUCKS UNDER IT BEFORE GRABBING LIMMY AND DROPPING HIM WITH ‘BLOODRAYNE MAKER’! SWINGING REVERSE STO! RULER NOW GRABBING LIMMY, HE’S GOING TO ELIMINATE HIM FROM THE GRAND RAMPAGE MATCH!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT RYAN WILSON FROM BEHIND JUST GRABBED A HOLD OF RULER AND TOSSED HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE! LUCK HAS SAVED LIMMY MONAGHAN ON THE OTHER HAND THOUGH AS HE FALLS THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE AND DOWN TO RINGSIDE NEXT TO RULER! WHO WASN’T AS FORTUNATE AS HE IS BECAUSE NOW HE’S OUT OF THE MATCH COURTESY OF RYAN JOSEPH WILSON!
Persephone: :wtf: Why’d you say his full name? That sounds utterly stupid.
Bella Braxton: RULER HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!
Stew-O: Ruler did an amazing job being one of the more early entrants, but all good things must come to an end at some point. That also leaves 11 people left in the ring so far with two more expected to join them shortly. Amir Yusuf is going after Donovan Duke! Chris Elite and Ryan Wilson! Jake Smith and Theron Nikolas! Charlie Marr and Limmy Monaghan! Ronan Malosi and Impact! While Terry Chambers makes his way over and interjects himself into the brawl between Charlie and Limmy hoping to get a piece as well!
Gavin Kirkland: Amir Yusuf is bringing Donovan Duke back up to his feet- But before he can do anything it’s Donovan that connects with a forearm towards the face! But Amir sends one back! Donovan! Amir! Donovan! Amir! Donovan! Amir! Donovan! Amir! But Donovan connects with a knee to the face before kicking him in the kneecap dropping him down to a knee, RUNNING TO THE ROPES AND BACK BEFORE GOING FOR A BICYCLE KICK- WAIT! WAIT! AMIR JUST RAN TO THE OPPOSITE SIDE AND LAUNCHED HIMSELF OFF OF THOSE PAIR OF ROPES TAKING DONOVAN DOWN WITH A HANDSPRING CUTTER!
Stew-O: On the other hand two Showdown Elitists wage war with one another with Ronan Malosi and Impact squaring off! Ronan is down in a crawling position while Impact scrapes his boot against the side of his face trying to keep him relatively grounded! Impact then runs to the ropes… GOING FOR A BASEBALL SLIDE TO THE HEAD OF RONAN- BUT RONAN ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY! RONAN NOW SCOOPS IMPACT OFF OF THE GROUND… BEFORE LAUNCHING HIM INTO A BRUTAL F-10 MANEUVER! HE CALLS THAT ONE THE ‘MALOSI MAELSTROM’!
Persephone: Sounds like a sex position, which is very unfitting considering the only pussy Ronan has ever gotten is that Alissa chick. Even then, I don’t even know…
Gavin Kirkland: Well while Persephone names sex positions, which I have no problem with. :mjgrin: We are nearing our 29th entrant into this matchup! Who could join this already star-studded cast of characters in the ring right now???
10..9..8..7..6..5..4..3..2..1…
BUZZ
(Abruptly, ‘Revenge’ by Young Nudy is heard playing up with the crowd giving an absolutely deafening roar of cheers in response.)
Stew-O: No way… COULD IT BE?! FORMER INTERWIRE CHAMPION! FORMER NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPION! TWO-TIME WORLD CHAMPION! EAW HALL OF FAMER!
Stew-O: TYLER PARKER IS HERE!!!
(The shot focuses on Tyler Parker who is standing at the center of the stage, soaking in the atmosphere of Yankees Stadium right now while the EAW Universe in attendance tonight showers the Hall of Famer in support. He gives a smile before taking off the elaborate jacket he has on, beginning to make his way down the ramp and towards the ring from here.)
Gavin Kirkland: The last time we saw this man in a squared circle was nearly half a year ago, facing off against Jake Smith at Pain For Pride XIV. Now he’s back, and Jake is not all that happy about it either, look at the look on his face of pure shock!
(Tyler Parker jumps up onto the apron and enters into the ring while a distraught Jake Smith stumbles up to his feet. Most, if not everyone, has stopped what they’re doing to look at this.)
Jake Smith: (Off-Mic) Y-You’re… You’re supposed to be gone… No… NO… NO-
Stew-O: ‘PROPHETIC’!!!
Gavin Kirkland: TYLER OUT OF NOWHERE GRABS JAKE AND PLANTS HIM WITH THE ROLLING CUTTER!
Persephone: LMAOOOOOOOO
Stew-O: AND HERE WE GO! THERON NIKOLAS INSTANTLY LAUNCHES HIMSELF TOWARDS TYLER PARKER! IMPACT AND LIMMY MONAGHAN BEGIN DUKING IT OUT! JAKE SMITH AND AMIR YUSUF ARE TEEING OFF ON ONE ANOTHER! CHARLIE MARR AND CHRIS ELITE ARE TRADING PUNCHES! TERRY CHAMBERS ATTEMPTS TO JOIN THE FRAY WHILE RYAN WILSON LOOKS TO BE GETTING THE BETTER OF DONOVAN DUKE!
Gavin Kirkland: Ryan is attacking Donovan with punches- BUT DONOVAN MANAGES TO KICK RYAN IN THE GUT AND LAUNCH HIMSELF TOWARDS THE ROPES BEFORE TAKING RYAN DOWN TO THE MAT WITH A HANDSPRING CUTTER! Donovan now grabs Ryan and brings him up into a Fireman’s Carry- BUT RYAN SLIPS OFF HIS SHOULDERS AND CONNECTS WITH A BACKSTABBER! Ryan is now grabbing Donovan… CONNECTING WITH ‘MIC DROP’! SMALL PACKAGE DRIVER!
Stew-O: RYAN GRABS DONOVAN AND THROWS HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE! DONOVAN BARELY SLIPS HIS GRIP OF THE TOP ROPE AND IS SENT TUMBLING DOWN TO THE MAT! DONOVAN DUKE IS ELIMINATED FROM THE GRAND RAMPAGE MATCH!
Gavin Kirkland: WAIT!
(The official at ringside tells Donovan Duke that he’s out, but Donovan indicates to him… that one of his feet is propped onto the steel steps! Both feet have not touched the floor!)
Stew-O: I don’t think Ryan sees that, he looks proud of himself and why wouldn’t you be? Presumably eliminating the National Elite Champion, that by all means should validate him a shot at Championship gold-
Gavin Kirkland: DONOVAN! DONOVAN! DONOVAN IS BACK INTO THE GRAND RAMPAGE MATCH AS HE GOES UNDER AND DUMPS RYAN OVER THE TOP ROPE AND OUT OF THE RING! THE TABLES HAVE TURNED! RYAN WILSON IS OUT OF THE GRAND RAMPAGE MATCH!
Bella Braxton: RYAN WILSON HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!
(Ryan Wilson tumbles down to the outside with a look of pure shock on his face, unbeknownst to him what happened regarding Donovan Duke after he eliminated him. Donovan simply waved at Ryan with a smile before getting back into the match. Especially with what happened on Voltage, this has to have enraged Ryan, and it’s clear this is far from over.)
Stew-O: 11 people left in this match so far with one more left to come out. It looks like on the other side of the ring Charlie Marr is a hair away from dumping Theron Nikolas over the top rope! Theron is barely able to hang on right now, this is not a good situation for him to be in! CHARLIE IS SO CLOSE AS THERON IS FLIPPED UPSIDE DOWN OVER HIS HEAD! THERON IS OUT-
(SLAP!)
Gavin Kirkland: WHAT THE HELL?! RONAN MALOSI JUST CAME UP BEHIND CHARLIE MARR AND SMACKED THE BACK OF HIS BATTLE OF EGYPT OPPONENT’S HEAD!
(Charlie Marr instantly stops what he’s doing, turning around to face Ronan Malosi who’s standing there with a smirk on his face. None of them engage as the two are locked in an intense staredown at the moment.)
Ronan Malosi: (Off-Mic) Your NEW EAW Hardcore Champion…
Stew-O: WAIT! WAIT! THERON NIKOLAS FROM BEHIND JUST GRABBED CHARLIE AND TOSSED HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE! CHARLIE IS OUT! CHARLIE IS OUT!
Ronan Malosi: (Off-Mic) … Ronan Malosi.
Bella Braxton: CHARLIE MARR HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!
(Charlie Marr stumbles down to a kneeling position at ringside, looking up at the ring absolutely irate due to the distraction.)
Gavin Kirkland: WHAT A HEINOUS TACTIC! A PROVERBIAL LOW BLOW TO CHARLIE MARR COURTESY OF RONAN MALOSI, AND RONAN DIDN’T EVEN NEED TO MOVE A FINGER TO ELIMINATE HIM, THAT WAS MORE THERON NIKOLAS’ DOING-
Stew-O: THERON JUST GRABBED RONAN AND DROPPED HIM DOWN TO THE MAT WITH ‘GOD’S REQUIEM’! SWINGING REVERSE STO BY THE FORMER WORLD CHAMPION DRILLS RONAN DOWN TO THE MAT RIGHT WHERE HE STANDS!
Gavin Kirkland: While that is happening Amir Yusuf and Tyler Parker are going at it, with Tyler landing some quick jabs towards the face of Amir leaving him stunned! Tyler then pushes Amir against the ropes before sending him towards the opposite side… LEVELING HIM WITH A BACK BODY DROP! Tyler is then back up to his feet, before turning towards Limmy Monaghan who is making his way towards him- But Tyler with a gut kick towards the abdomen, GOING FOR A DROP DOWN STRIKE! But Limmy straightens himself back up, LAUNCHING INTO THE AIR AND CRUSHING TYLER WITH A STANDING DOUBLE FOOT STOMP!
Stew-O: WAIT! AMIR IS ON THE TOP ROPE! HOW DID HE GET UP THERE SO FAST! HE LAUNCHES OFF OF THE TOP AND TAKES LIMMY DOWN TO THE MAT WITH A DIVING HURRICANRANA! AMIR ISN’T DONE THOUGH AS HE CLIMBS BACK UP BEFORE POSITIONING HIMSELF… GOING FOR ‘054’! IMPLODING 450 SPLASH-
Gavin Kirkland: WAIT! WAIT! LIMMY JUST SHOVES AMIR OFF OF THE TOP ROPE AND DOWN TO THE FLOOR! AMIR IS OUT AND THAT IS LIMMY’S FOURTH ELIMINATION IN THIS MATCH!
Bella Braxton: AMIR YUSUF HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!
Stew-O: Going from number five to nearly the last entrant is not something to look over in the Grand Rampage match. Great showing by Amir, but tonight was not his night. BUT IT MIGHT BE THIS ELITIST’S! THE COUNTDOWN STARTS! OUR LAST ENTRANT INTO THE GRAND RAMPAGE MATCH IS ABOUT TO COME OUT! WHO IS IT GOING TO BE?!
10..9..8..7..6..5..4..3..2..1…
BUZZ
(In a swerve that nobody expected… ‘It Follows’ by Cane Hill is heard playing up.)
Stew-O: ONE DAY REMOVED FROM FACING SOSA HENDERSON, XANDER PAYNE HAS ARRIVED AND IS THE LAST ENTRANT INTO THE GRAND RAMPAGE MATCH!
Gavin Kirkland: THE FAT ASS IS HERE AS HE RUNS DOWN THE RAMP AND ENTERS INTO THE RING BEFORE DROPPING CHRIS ELITE DOWN TO THE MAT WITH A LARIAT TO THE HEAD! TERRY CHAMBERS RUNS TOWARDS HIM- ONLY FOR XANDER TO POP HIM UP OFF THE GROUND WITH EXTRAORDINARY STRENGTH INTO ‘LAST SEDATION’! POP-UP POWERBOMB!
(Terry Chambers clutches onto the bottom rope, the fatigue continuing to show all over, absolutely drenched in sweat. He begins to get himself back up to his feet surprisingly quickly after Xander levels him, still fighting with all of his might…)
Stew-O: JAKE SMITH! JAKE WITH A SHINING WIZARD TO THE HEAD OF TERRY AS JAKE TUMBLES DOWN ONTO THE APRON! BUT TERRY IS LESS FORTUNATE AS HE TUMBLES DOWN TO THE MAT! FROM THE FIRST ENTRANT TO THE LAST, TERRY CHAMBERS IS OUT OF THIS MATCHUP!
Bella Braxton: TERRY CHAMBERS HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!
Gavin Kirkland: Extraordinary effort by Terry but it was not enough, but the nine people left in this ring might have a better chance seeing as though there’s only eight people in front of them and Pain For Pride main event dreams!
Stew-O: We go over to the action while Jake gets back into the ring, with both Tyler Parker and Ronan Malosi going at it! A right hand by Ronan drops Tyler down to a knee, BEFORE RONAN TURNS AROUND AND RUNS TO THE ROPES GOING FOR A BOOT TO THE FACE! BUT TYLER MANAGES TO ROLL OUT OF THE WAY OF THAT JUST IN TIME! Ronan turns around in shock- WHILE TYLER CONNECTS WITH ‘BLACK CHAPTER’! SPRINGBOARD ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO THE FACE OF RONAN!
Persephone: It’s a shame because Ronan could’ve been a fan of Tyler when he was younger. Jake Mercer told me he used to wear American flag pants when he was a teenager and while nothing that loser says is true, it’s funny enough for me to believe otherwise this time around.
Gavin Kirkland: OH MEANWHILE IT SEEMS LIKE IMPACT IS REAL CLOSE TO DUMPING THERON NIKOLAS OVER THE TOP ROPE! But before that can happen Theron manages to connect with a hard right to the face of Impact forcing him to let go! Impact stumbles back… BUT RUNS FORWARD LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND GOING FOR ‘EVISCERATION’! DOUBLE KNEE FACEBREAKER TO THERON!
Stew-O: BUT THERON SHOVES AWAY AND TURNS IMPACT AROUND BEFORE TURNING IMPACT INSIDE OUT WITH A RIPCORD LARIAT! ‘TOUCH OF HEROINE-
Gavin Kirkland: BUT INSTEAD OF THERON PULLING HIM IN BUT IT’S IMPACT INSTEAD WHO CONNECTS WITH ‘FIST OF FURY’! HARD RIGHT HOOK TO THE FACE OF THERON BEFORE IMPACT GOES UNDER AND DUMPS HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE AND TO THE OUTSIDE! THERON NIKOLAS IS ELIMINATED FROM THE GRAND RAMPAGE MATCH!
Bella Braxton: THERON NIKOLAS HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!
Stew-O: EIGHT PEOPLE LEFT! Ronan Malosi is in the ring fighting off the likes of The Haircare Kings! JAKE CONNECTS WITH A SUPERKICK TO THE FACE! WHILE CHRIS CONNECTS WITH A BICYCLE KICK! JAKE THEN RUNS TO THE ROPES BEFORE GOING FOR A SHINING WIZARD- BUT RONAN INSTEAD GRABS A HOLD OF JAKE IN POWERBOMB POSITION BEFORE THROWING HIM INTO CHRIS!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT RONAN FROM BEHIND JUST GOT NAILED BY A FOREARM TO THE FACE BY DONOVAN! DONOVAN RUNNING TO THE ROPES AND BACK… BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A KNEE STRIKE TO THE HEAD! MEANWHILE XANDER PAYNE JUST CAME IN AND CLOBBERED DONOVAN WITH A LARIAT TO THE BACK OF HIS HEAD, BEFORE TURNING AROUND AND LAUNCHING INTO THE AIR GOING FOR A RUNNING SENTON TO CRUSH RONAN- BUT RONAN MANAGE TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY! XANDER GETS BACK UP- ONLY TO BE MET BY ‘VERTIGO’ COURTESY OF THE FORMER INTERWIRE CHAMPION! DEEP SIX CONNECTS!
Stew-O: Ronan is at odds right now- AND IT DOESN’T HELP THAT IMPACT JUST LUNGED FORWARD AND DROPPED HIM WITH EVISCERATION! DOUBLE KNEE FACEBREAKER CONNECTS! BUT WAIT! RONAN STAYS UP AND THAT LEADS THE PERFECT OPPORTUNITY FOR IMPACT TO RUN FORWARD AND CLOTHESLINE HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE AND OUT OF THE RING!
Gavin Kirkland: WAIT! WAIT! HOW THE HELL?! RONAN MALOSI JUST STAYED ON THE APRON! HE ISN’T OUT OF THE MATCH AND IMPACT IS SHOCKED!
(Ronan Malosi barely manages to keep himself up, he knows how much he’s fought for this. Blood, sweat, tears, putting on the performance of a lifetime, quite possibly the best one that he’s put on his entire career. For months now he’s been trying to make people believe that he isn’t a joke, that he is for real, and the only way he can see himself doing that is by staying in the Grand Rampage match!)
Stew-O: IMPACT THROWS A PUNCH- BUT RONAN BLOCKS IT AND ENTERS INTO THE RING! FROM THERE HE RUNS TO THE ROPES AND BACK… BEFORE DROPPING HIM WITH A SHOULDER TACKLE! RONAN YELLS AT IMPACT TO GET BACK UP TO HIS FEET, IS HE GOING TO DO IT?!
Gavin Kirkland: HE DOES! ‘DEATH-RO’ CONNECTS! ‘DEATH-RO’! NO WAY HE’S ABOUT TO ELIMINATE IMPACT! NO WAY!
Stew-O: WAIT! WAIT! DONOVAN OUT OF NOWHERE SHOOTS UP INTO THE AIR AND BOOTS HIM IN THE FACE MAKING HIM FALL AGAINST THE ROPES! BEFORE CHRIS ELITE RUNS FORWARD AND KNOCKS HIM OFF OF THE APRON WITH A ‘BOX OFFICE SMASH’! DESPITE THE LAST DITCH EFFORT AT SUCCESS, RONAN MALOSI IS OUT OF THE MATCH!
Bella Braxton: RONAN MALOSI HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!
(The crowd cheers in response to this, but even then they can’t help but feel sympathy for the unlikeable big man. Ronan Malosi is seen down on the mat, his eyes wide open with sorrow painted all over. He gets back up to his feet, a seated position, before looking down at the mat. Then, without saying anything, he quietly walks off.)
Persephone: Final seven! Eliminate six more people and we can finally go home thank Gawd!
Gavin Kirkland: TYLER PARKER AND JAKE SMITH ARE SEEN TRADING PUNCHES! JAKE IS ABSOLUTELY IRATE AT TYLER EVEN BEING IN THIS MATCH BUT I DON’T THINK TYLER REALLY CARES WHAT JAKE THINKS! IT’S AS HE’S BEEN SAYING, IT’S REVENGE SZN MOTHERFUCKER! JAKE GRABS A HOLD OF TYLER, GOING FOR ‘BROKEN WINGS’! SNAP SWINGING NECKBREAKER!
Stew-O: BUT TYLER UNWINDS HIMSELF BEFORE SHOVING JAKE AWAY, GRABBING HIM AND GOING FOR ‘PROPHETIC’ ONCE AGAIN! ROLLING CUTTER! BUT JAKE REVERSES AND GOES FOR ‘STARMAKER’! HIS OWN ROLLING CUTTER! BOTH OF THEM ARE TRADING REVERSES AT THE MOMENT BEFORE TYLER HAS FINALLY HAD ENOUGH AND NAILS JAKE WITH A HARD RIGHT SENDING HIM BACK!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT WHAT TYLER DOESN’T SEE IS DONOVAN DUKE RUNNING IN LOOKING TO BOOT HIM OUT OF THE RING- BUT TYLER MOVES OUT OF THE WAY THROWING DONOVAN OVER THE TOP ROPE AND OUT OF THE RING- WAIT! DONOVAN HOLDS ON! TYLER DOES NOT SEEM TO BE HAPPY ABOUT THAT AS HE MAKES HIS WAY OVER LOOKING TO FINISH THE JOB NOW!
Stew-O: WAIT! WAIT! DONOVAN JUST BROUGHT HIS LEGS UP AND WRAPPED THEM AROUND THE HEAD OF TYLER, PULLING HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE AND SENDING HIM OUT OF THE RING! TYLER PARKER IS ELIMINATED! DONOVAN DUKE JUST DID THAT! WHAT A MOMENT FOR THE NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPION!
Bella Braxton: TYLER PARKER HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!
Stew-O: What a showing by Tyler Parker here tonight and look at the crowd cheering their heart out in support. Tyler went the extra mile in this match and put on a show against the best of the best, and even if this is the last time we see him in a while, he did great! But the show must go on, as now we are down to six more people in this matchup!
Persephone: Good, I can take a nap.
Gavin Kirkland: Donovan pulls himself up and back inside the ring- BEING IMMEDIATELY MET BY JAKE SMITH WHO CONNECTS WITH A BICYCLE KICK! Donovan stumbles back while Jake runs forward- ONLY FOR DONOVAN TO TAKE HIM DOWN TO THE CANVAS WITH A DROP TOE HOLD! CHRIS ELITE TURNS AROUND AND LEAPS INTO THE AIR CONNECTING WITH ‘OPEN YA MATA’! COMING IN FOR THE SAVE! Chris now waits for Donovan to get up… BEFORE GOING FOR ‘BOX OFFICE SMASH’! SUPERKICK TO THE FACE OF DONOVAN-
Stew-O: ‘BANKRUPT’! DONOVAN LEAPS INTO THE AIR JUST IN TIME AS THE GUILLOTINE CHOKE ON CHRIS ELITE IS LOCKED IN!
Gavin Kirkland: DONOVAN DUKE IS SUBDUING CHRIS ELITE! CHRIS IS STRUGGLING TO ESCAPE RIGHT NOW AND THIS IS NOT GOING TO BE GOOD FOR HIM! IF HE HAPPENS TO PASS OUT TO THE GUILLOTINE CHOKE THEN IT’S EASY PICKINGS FROM THERE FOR DONOVAN WHO CAN JUST EASILY TOSS HIM OUT OF THE MATCH! BUT CHRIS REFUSES TO QUIT! CHRIS REFUSES TO GIVE IN! HE’S HAD TO GIVE UP SO MUCH TO GET HERE THAT IT’S GOING TO TAKE A MIRACLE TO ELIMINATE HIM!
Stew-O: WAIT! WAIT! CHRIS WAS ALMOST OUT BUT JAKE JUST RAN INTO HELP HIS TAG TEAM PARTNER! HE GRABS DONOVAN AND LIFTS HIM UP OFF THE GROUND, DIRECTING CHRIS TOWARDS THE ROPES WHILE DONOVAN TRIES HIS BEST TO FEND OFF THE HAIRCARE KINGS! STILL KEEPING THE GUILLOTINE LOCKED IN!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT HE LOSES HIS GRIP ON CHRIS AFTER RAPID FIRE PUNCHES TO THE FACE BY JAKE FORCING HIM TO LET GO WHILE CHRIS SLAMS HIM DOWN ONTO THE APRON WITH A POWERBOMB! DONOVAN TUMBLES OFF OF THE APRON, AND THE NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPION IS OUT OF THIS MATCH!
Bella Braxton: DONOVAN DUKE HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!
Stew-O: JAKE SMITH! CHRIS ELITE! LIMMY MONAGHAN! XANDER PAYNE! IMPACT! YOUR FINAL FIVE IN THE GRAND RAMPAGE MATCH!
Persephone: Mid. Mid. Mid. Mid. Mid.

Bella Braxton: LIMMY MONAGHAN HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!
(The crowd boos, angry, no doubt after Limmy Monaghan is eliminated. Impact, can’t help but feel bad either, but he shrugs his shoulders with a smirk before rolling back into the ring. Limmy immediately finds himself pressed against the barricade, face buried in his hands, with nothing left to say. The crowd quiets down, more in shock than anything else… as for the first time this week… Limmy Monaghan is speechless.)
(Impact rolls into the ring, and thus… our final two.)
(Both Jake Smith and Impact lock eyes with one another, the two of them across the ring, like a 50s cowboy movie, ready to gunsling. Jake has had his issues with Impact, having to live with the fact that he was the one that eliminated him last year when he was in the final five. His struggles when it came to his World Championship quest have been heavily documented, and Grand Rampage was meant to be his culmination, his rise… Meanwhile Impact, seeking out a record-breaking second Grand Rampage victory alongside his 10th World Championship reign, is looking to add more accolades on top of the ones that he already has. There is no love loss between the two, and they both know… that they’re going to have to get through one another to main event Pain For Pride and accomplish their dreams.)
Stew-O: IMPACT WITH A SPINNING WHEEL KICK- BUT JAKE DUCKS UNDER! JAKE BACK UP TO HIS FEET BEFORE GOING FOR A ENZUIGIRI KICKI! BUT IMPACT DUCKS UNDER THAT AS WELL BEFORE GRABBING THE LEG OF JAKE- BUT JAKE ROLLS ONTO HIS BACK AND SENDS A BOOT TOWARDS THE FACE OF IMPACT STUMBLING BACKWARD! JAKE IS BACK UP AS HE RUNS FORWARD AND GOES FOR ‘SO LONG AND GOOD NIGHT’! BOMAYE TO THE FACE OF IMPACT-
Gavin Kirkland: BUT IMPACT DUCKS UNDER THAT! JAKE FALLS AGAINST THE ROPES WHILE IMPACT RUNS TOWARDS HIM-
Stew-O: ‘STARMAKER’!
Gavin Kirkland: WHAT THE FUCK?! DID IMPACT JUST POP RIGHT BACK UP TO HIS FEET?! HOW THE HELL DID HE DO THAT?!
Impact: (Off-Mic) COME ON!
Stew-O: IMPACT WITH ‘EVISCERATION’! BUT JAKE SHOVES HIM AWAY BEFORE LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND GOING FOR A JUMPING CUTTER- ONLY FOR IMPACT TO PUSH HIM AWAY AND SEND HIM BACKWARD! IMPACT RUNNING FORWARD-
Gavin Kirkland: ‘EVISCERATION’! JAKE JUST CONNECTED WITH IMPACT’S OWN MOVE TAKING HIM DOWN TO THE CANVAS!
(Jake Smith falls against the corner, while Impact grabs his face and tries to get back up to his feet. He looks around before setting his sights on Impact, he knows what he has to do, what that may be? Well the same thing that finished Impact off at last year’s Grand Rampage…)
Stew-O: JAKE JUST SPRINTED FORWARD AND WENT FOR ‘BOOK OF DRISTIANITY’! THAT’S DRAKE KING’S OWN LAST RESORT MOVE! PUNT KICK TO THE SKULL OF IMPACT TO FINISH HIM OFF!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT IMPACT ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY BEFORE PULLING JAKE IN AND CONNECTING WITH A TILT-A-WHIRL BACKBREAKER! JAKE, WITH ADRENALINE COURSING THROUGH HIS VEINS, POPS UP!

…
…

Bella Braxton: JAKE SMITH HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘M3tamorphosis’ blasts through the speakers of the arena as the crowd goes absolutely berserk. Impact is seen landing on the apron with a thud, his eyes barely open and his breaths sharp and heavy. The only thing that’s keeping him conscious is hearing his theme playing through the speakers of the arena, and he can’t even react to that after everything he just went through right now. There is no doubt in anyone’s minds though, that once again, which seems like just another day in the office for him at this point… EAW Hall of Famer Impact has just made history.)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen, your winner of the 2022 GRAND RAMPAGE MATCH!!!!!! IMPACT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: I… wow… I don’t know what to say right now.
Persephone: Good you pervert, finally you stop talking about women for once. Anyway Rex winning this match was better.
Stew-O: Wow…. Impact has won, he is the only person to win the Grand Rampage match twice. Last year he was a hair away, having worked so hard but ending up so far thanks to Drake King. But now, finally, Impact is victorious. He stands at the top of the mountain, and I think it’s safe to say that he is now on the road to #10Reignz ladies and gentlemen. Meanwhile…
(The camera goes over to show Jake Smith, who is up on his feet looking at the scene unfolding in the ring. The people in the front row give him a standing ovation as he nods his head, having accepted his defeat, and begins to interact with the EAW Universe before making his leave. There is no doubt that Jake has solidified as one of the best of the best at this point currently, but he knows that there is still a long way to go. But for now, he finds solace in his performance and the passion of the EAW Universe who stood behind him… Jake Smith is happy.)
Persephone: lol loser
Stew-O: The night belongs to Impact, and he just secured himself a one way ticket to Pain For Pride XV. And there is no doubt in my mind that at this moment, Season 15, 2022, nobody will be doubting who the fuck Impact is… because he’s Impact. Good night everybody!
(The last shot seen is Impact standing on the top rope, hyped up as he’s finally recovered and is soaking in the crowd’s reaction towards him. Confetti is seen shooting down from the rafters while Impact celebrates a well fought victory. He then looks towards the Pain For Pride XV sign suspended in the sky, and it’s made apparent what his next stop is. That is the only thing left to be seen, as Grand Rampage completely fades to black.)
(EAW logo buzzes.)
