Matthew Graham
(EAW intro plays)
(We open once more on our city of angels floating on a bed of clouds as chaos still unfolds on the stairway. Many bodies lay fallen, silently, their dreams crushed in defeat. Others continue on their ascent towards the top)
Narrator: When the clouds parted, you came. When the bell tolled, you raced towards these pearly gates…
(We see several clips of last night’s events. It first begins with Ahren Fournier retaining his Hall of Fame ring against Terry Chambers and Ryan Wilson winning his first ever Championship, defeating Ronan Malosi)
Narrator: The sweet taste of victory lingers well into the evening and into the new day. The euphoria of entering the promised place is one that lasts even more than just the essence of victory. Yet there is no greater euphoria than the long journey reaching its destination.
(It proceeds to cut to clips of Bronson Daniels and Adam Lucas retaining their respective Championships. The final image is Ronn Banks assisting Adam to defeat Mr. DEDEDE)
Narrator: The rise of the next generation is one that becomes tested most on this stage. Where they shine and shine brightest. Where their bold visions of tomorrow grow only stronger. And oh? What’s this? Were you betrayed? Deary me, how…*unfortunate*…
(From here, clips of The Visual Prophet and Lethal Consequences defeating Ad Infinitum play before fading to still images of Veena Adams being removed)
Narrator: Pride comes before the fall and the kingdom is merciless in who it rids itself of. There is little sympathy for heretics like you…
(The camera cuts to the gates of the kingdom themselves to find them blasted wide open. The keys to the kingdom lay scattered on the floor as Ms. Extreme walks through them with the Universal Women’s Championship resting over her shoulder. Beaten, battered, bruised, victorious)
Narrator: Finally. Finally. Finally you entered nirvana and claimed what was your’s. The gatekeeper could not stop you and now the kingdom completely awaits you in all it’s unrivalled glory. Though for the former gatekeeper, surely the journey does not end there, does it?
(The camera pans to an overview of the city itself. The entire landscape has shifted and the city is far less recognisable from what it once was. Xander Payne sits high above on the edge of the tallest building in this new Los Angeles. He dusts his hands, proud of the change he brought to this kingdom)
Narrator: And the future, young man, is your’s to craft. Never once overawed by the moment, you denied a legend, a being who belongs in our greatest halls, his chance to grow that legacy.
(Clouds above the kingdom roll through with flashes of lightning illuminating various Elitists who are still to compete over the coming two days)
Narrator: This kingdom continues to beckon those who seek it. The clouds remain parted and the storm above grows only more violent. Your heaven, your glory awaits you. What are you willing to give up? What are you willing to sacrifice? All in the name for **Pain For Pride**!!!!
(The graphics loop from Day 1 plays and the camera cuts to SoFi Stadium. Once again, the stadium lights up with pyrotechnics racing around the Oculus Ring and exploding around the stage. The crowd go insane for the display of colour and noise as they’re welcomed to Day 2 of the event)
SCREENBAR — SOLD OUT
SCREENBAR — SOFI STADIUM. LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA.
(The camera pans to the ringside area where all three brands are lined up. The camera focuses in on the Showdown announce table where Deadprez, with a wide smile opens his arms to welcome everyone)
Deadprez: WELCOME EVERYONE TO DAY TWO OF PAIN FOR PRIDE! OFF THE BACK OF AN INCREDIBLE DAY ONE, IT’S OUR HONOR AND PRIVILEGE TO KEEP THE MOMENTUM GOING HERE ON SHOWDOWN! ALONGSIDE ME ARE MY COLLEAGUES, EVE AND GAVIN KIRKLAND!
Eve: The first day of Pain For Pride was absolutely everything that you would come to expect from Elite Answers Wrestling. Incredible moments forged already, careers being made, new eras beginning and some realising dreams years and years in the making. Day Two once again promises to deliver on everything that Day One gave us and then some! How about you Gavin?
Gavin Kirkland: The closest thing I know to love is getting closer and closer to leaving me and the empty void of despair grows only more…
Deadprez: ….right. BUT GUESS WHAT? WE’RE KICKING THINGS OFF! DAY TWO OF PAIN FOR PRIDE BEGINS RIGHT NOW!
(The camera fades to an overview of the SoFi Stadium as fans cheer and prepare themselves for the first day of Pain For Pride. It proceeds to fade to the first match graphic of the night)
( The camera fades down to ringside, where Gina Romano is seen holding a microphone. )
Gina Romano: Ladies and gentlemen.. The following contest is a triple threat match set for ONE FALL!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
Gina Romano: AND IT IS FOR THE SPECIALISTS CHAMPIONSHIP!!!
( The SoFi Stadium goes quiet as the lights fade to black. The stadium stays dark for several moments and dark shadows can be seen walking out from backstage. They take their places, and a single white spotlight shines down onto the stage, lighting up the very center of it. A stagehand comes out and begins to roll a red carpet down the entire length of the ramp, while photogs follow and line the carpet. Once everything is in place, the host of American Idol and Live! With Kelly and Ryan, Ryan Seacrest, steps onto the stage. He is dressed in a tux and holding a microphone. )
Ryan Seacrest: Ladies and gentlemen… here to perform her rendition of ‘Diamonds Are A Girl’s Best Friend’ please welcome…. CANDICE BLAIR!
( The crowd erupts as a giant poster of Candice Blair drops down, depicting her as the iconic Marilyn Monroe. Music starts to play and more spotlights rise up. Dozens of gorgeous men are seen on the stage, each carrying gifts made up of diamonds and other jewels. )
( Music starts to play and the Specialists Championship contender bursts through her own poster in dramatic fashion! The photogs begin snapping her photo and what a vision Candice Blair is tonight. She is dressed in a stunning replica of the beautiful pink dress Marilyn Monroe wore in ‘Gentlemen Prefer Blondes’. It fits her curvaceous body absolutely perfectly, giving the men who are on the stage attempting to impress her something to gawk at. Candice’s outfit is complete with elbow length, pink gloves and of course a dazzling array of jewels, including a beautiful diamond necklace that was loaned to her by Tiffany’s just for this event. )
( Candice runs her tongue across her ruby red lips and raises the microphone to her mouth. )
🎵 The French are glad to die for love 🎵
🎵 They delight in fighting duels 🎵
🎵 But I prefer a man who lives 🎵
🎵 And gives expensive jewels 🎵
🎵 A kiss on the hand 🎵
🎵 May be quite continental 🎵
🎵 But diamonds are a girl’s best friend 🎵
( Candice smiles at her array of suitors as she performs, weaving in and out between them, and teasing them. )
🎵 A kiss may be grand 🎵
( She stops in front of one particular man, and runs a gloved finger across his lips. He shows a bit of excitement, but she coyly shakes her head. )
🎵 But it won’t pay the rental 🎵
🎵 On your humble flat 🎵
🎵 Or help you at the automat 🎵
( Candice now stands between two other suitors, both of whom are offering her exquisite jewelry. Candice brushes against the first man, while winking at the second one, and then she shakes her head, leaving them both to lust after her. )
🎵 Men grow cold 🎵
🎵 As girls grow old 🎵
🎵 And we all lose our charms in the end 🎵
( Candice tosses her hair back, and settles her pretty eyes on the familiar man standing off to the side. She steps in front of him, turning around so her back is pressed against his chest, and she looks up at him. Desmond Helms winks at Candice and pulls out a beautiful diamond ring. The spotlight hits it just right, and Candice’s eyes light up, as she turns towards Desmond and brushes her hand down his chest. She sings the next few lines directly to him. )
🎵 But square-cut or pear-shaped 🎵
🎵 These rocks don’t lose their shape 🎵
🎵 Diamonds are a girl’s best friend 🎵
( On the final note, Candice lowers her microphone and bites down on her bottom lip. Desmond holds out his arm for Candice to take and after she does, the two make their way down the red carpet. The entire time, the photographers have snapped their photos, and Candice makes sure she poses for them. They come to a stop half-way down the ramp, where Candice pauses, and snaps her fingers. The ramp opens up, and Candice drops down, only to remerge a few moments later in her Pain for Pride ring attire. She wears a pink satin bustier, that is made from the same material her dress had been made from, along with matching bottoms that have a large and very dramatic satin bow attached to them. Candice’s outfit is trimmed with diamonds and after basking in her own glory for a bit and soaking up the reaction of the crowd, “Diamonds” by Meg The Stallion and Normani begins to play. )
( Arm-in-arm, Candice and Desmond begin to make their way to the ring. )
Stew-O: Here we go! Specialists Championship time!!
Gavin Kirkland: Here comes the babes!!! :blessed:
Flannery McCoy: Please tell me you aren’t going to be like this the entire match..
Gavin Kirkland: Can’t make any promises sweet cheeks, so you’ll have to see.
Stew-O: Man, what a beautiful entrance by Candice Blair who has spent so much time trying to retrieve the title that she’s fighting for tonight. She’s fought for the Specialists Championship on numerous occasions, and maybe tonight will be the night where things fall into place!! With her being an Ava sister, only time will tell.. And maybe that time is now!!!
(‘Unfazed’ by Lil Uzi Vert featuring the Weeknd hits, as the crowd boos heavily. After a moment, Ashley Flores steps out onto the stage in attire representing the bisexual flag using the colors red, purple, and blue. On her feet, we can see that she’s rocking a clean pair of white Nike air force ones with the nike logo and trim having a gradient color using the same red, purple, and blue scheme. Flores extends her arms out to the side as she stands at center stage, and huge pyros shoot out into the air with the colors red, purple, and blue.)
Stew-O: Well, that’s one way of coming out!!
Gavin Kirkland: This is bad news, but at least she can 50% like me.. :mjcry:
Flannerry McCoy: I doubt she would like you even if she was 100% straight to be honest.
Stew-O: These pyros that you are seeing right now were actually paid for by Ashley’s family. What a wonderful gift at the grandest stage of them all!! It looks won-
(As Ashley makes her way down the entrance ramp, even more pyros begin to shoot out at each side of the ramp. The red, purple, and blue fireworks shoot out into the air, as they follow Ashley Flores towards the ring.)
Stew-O: Wow, that’s a lot of fireworks for this young Dynasty Elitist!
Flannery McCoy: You’ve got that right, but it’s Pain for-
(Ashley Flores then hops up onto the ring apron, as fireworks shoot out from the turnbuckles! A stream of red, then a stream of purple, then a stream of blue fireworks shoot out in that order over and over again, as Ashley Flores enters into the ring.)
Stew-O: Wow, these fireworks must have cost a fortune!
Gavin Kirkland: Hey, if you’ve got the money for it, then why not?
Stew-O: That’s true. With Flores having such an impressive start to her rookie campaign, this match right here might be her breakout match. All eyes are on her and her opponents as they fight for the prize of becoming Specialists Champion!
(Ashley Flores then looks out to the crowd and flexes, as the fireworks from the turnbuckles then turn into burning flames that illuminate the same red, purple, and blue colors.)
Flannery McCoy: Even more fireworks! There’s no question she’s coming out with these beautiful colors shooting out at every stage of her entrance. She looks ready for this big match, and I can’t wait to see what she brings to the table here at Pain for Pride. If it’s anything near as explosive as her entrance, then she may just walk out of the Sofi Stadium as our new Specialists Champion!!
(As the lights die down, the Tron begins to show people panicking at a Los Angeles hospital, they are running patients into the Operating Room when one of the nurses stops and looks right at the screen…
“Is There a Doctor In The House!?”
Suddenly sirens start to blare throughout the arena, flashes of red cover the entire stadium when an Ambulance drives in from the side of the stage, the crowd erupts, some boo as Dr. Bethany Blue stands on top of the ambulance in her new red and black wrestling gear and jacket, the Specialists Championship firmly around her waist as “Bad Medicine” by Bon Jovi starts to play. )
Stew-O: Wow, and here comes the big trucks!! What an entrance from our Specialist Champion, Dr. Bethany Blue!!
Gavin Kirkland: The things I’d do for a rectum exam.. :kofi:
Stew-O: :comeagain:
(Regyna gets out of the ambulance passenger side as she cheers on Dr. Bethany Blue who slides down the windshield and makes it to the floor, they give a high five to one another as Bethany makes her way toward the ring and Regyna cheers her on from the ambulance.)
Flannery McCoy: Dr. Bethany Blue won the specialists championship back at Battle of Egypt where she defeated Constance Blevins. This season has been one hell of an emotional roller coaster for the Doctor, but now she finds herself entering Pain for Pride as a champion!
Stew-O: There are two people in this match trying to make sure she leaves with nothing, but Bethany is here to do whatever she can to make sure that doesn’t happen. This is a title she’s been eyeing since last years Grand Rampage, and now she can truly showcase what it means to be the Specialist Champion here tonight!
Gina Romano: Introducing first, from San Francisco, California.. Weighing in at 126lbs… THE HOT COMMODITY!!!! CANDICE BLAIR!!!
(The crowd cheers loudly with a few boos, as Candice Blair raises her arms in the air to embrace this incredible crowd from the SoFi Stadium. Desmond Helms is seen on the outside of the ring applauding Candice before turning around and walking back up the ramp and back towards the backstage area.)
Gina Romano: Introducing second.. From Tijuana, Mexico!! Weighing in at 125lbs.. SHE’S THE GOLDEN HAND!! ASHLEY FLORES!!!!
(The crowd instantly boos, as Ashley Flores stares at both Candice Blair and Doctor Bethany Blue, and gives them a thumbs down signaling that they’re going down. Flores then points at herself, then outlines the Specialist Championship around her waist with her hands before pointing at the title wrapped around Bethany’s waist.)
Gina Romano: And from Miami, Florida! Weighing in at 125 pounds, she is THE SPECIALIST CHAMPION….. DR. BETHANY BLUE!!!!!!!!!
(Bethany has her eyes fixated on Candice Blair Ava and Ashley Flores, before climbing to the second rope, unstrapping the title and holding it up as she poses to the huge pop whether cheers or boos from the Los Angeles crowd.)
Stew-O: We are moments away from one of the most anticipated matches scheduled for tonight, and everyone is standing on their feet! This is going to be a good one!
(Dr. Bethany Blue then hands the Specialist Championship to the referee, as he raises it up into the air, as the crowd cheers heavily. The referee then lowers the championship, walks over to the ring ropes, then hands the belt over to the timekeeper before calling for the bell.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Flannery McCoy: There’s the bell, and this Specialists Championship Match is underway!! One Elitist from each brand is here competing at the grandest stage of them all for one of the most prestigious titles in this company’s history! Who’s going to come out on top!
Gavin Kirkland: Man, would I love to be on top of all of them.
Flannery McCoy: :ohlawd: Why did they stick me with you?? OH!!! The Champion just nailed Candice Blair right at the side of the head with a forearm strike!! Candice staggers back, but is immediately taken straight down to the canvas of the ring by a clothesline from Ashley Flores!! Candice quickly pops back up, however, and gets grabbed by the wrist by Dr. Bethany Blue. Irish whip into the corner from the champion, as Candice Blair goes crashing into the turnbuckles!! AND LOOK! IT’S ASHLEY FLORES WHO QUICKLY CHARGES IN AND CONNECTS WITH A RUNNING BACK ELBOW INTO THE FACE OF CANDICE BLAIR IN THE CORNER!!
Gavin Kirkland: The sexy blonde drops down into a seated position against the turnbuckles, as Flores begins to stomp away at her body in the corner!! These stomps are so brutal, they’re hot!! Look at her continuously driving her boot right into the chest of Candice!! Stomp her Ashley!! Keep it coming!!!
Flannery McCoy: NO!! Dr. Bethany Blue with a swift kick to the back of Ashley’s knees that causes them to buckle!! Blue reaches her arm around the head of Ashley from behind, as she locks in an inverted facelock.. What’s this!?! GRADE C2!!! THE REVERSE DDT CONNECTS FROM DR. BETHANY BLUE AS SHE SLAMS THE BACK OF ASHLEY’S HEAD RIGHT INTO THE CANVAS OF THE RING!!!
Stew-O: Blue gets back to her feet, as she stomps down onto the midsection of Ashley Flores with full force, and that stomp makes the Dynasty Elitist clutch at her midsection in pain!! Blue now makes her way to the side ropes, where she exits out of the ring and onto the other side of the ring ropes, and onto the ring apron! Blue now steps towards the same corner where all of the action has been happening so far, and begins to scale up to the top of those turnbuckles! She drops down to the middle ropes, as she stares right at the downed body of Ashley Flores.. AND DR. BETHANY BLUE CONNECTS WITH A KNEE DROP FROM THE MIDDLE ROPE DOWN ONTO THE BODY OF ASHLEY FLORES, AS HER KNEES PIERCE RIGHT INTO THE MIDSECTION OF THE DYNASTY CHALLENGER!!
Flannery McCoy: Blue gets back up to her feet with her hands spread out wide and to the side! Dr. Bethany Blue slowly turns around.. SAVATE KICK BY CANDICE BLAIR!!! CANDICE JUST GOT UP FROM OUT OF THE CORNER, AND TOOK DR. BETHANY BLUE RIGHT DOWN TO THE CANVAS OF THE RING WITH THAT SAVATE KICK!! Dr. Bethany Blue didn’t see it coming!!
Gavin Kirkland: :krabs: Wait which one of them is cummi-
Flannery McCoy: :russwtf: Gosh, Gavin.. You’re worse than Jake..
Stew-O: Candice Blair is now in the driver’s seat, as she reaches down and grabs Dr. Bethany Blue. Blair brings the champion up to her feet, then quickly kicks her in the abdomen!! Blair now grabs at the head of Blue.. SITOUT JAWBREAKER BY CANDICE BLAIR, AND THAT MOVE STUNS DR. BETHANY BLUE, AS THE CHAMPION WOBBLES ON HER FEET!! Candice quickly turns around and runs to the side ropes!! She bounces back towards the champion.. AND CANDICE TAKES DR. BETHANY BLUE DOWN WITH A SLING BLADE!!!
Flannery McCoy: Blue hits the canvas hard, but quickly pops back to her feet, but Candice is already there, as she.. CATCHES DR. BETHANY BLUE WITH A SPINNING HEEL KICK TO THE ABDOMEN!! Blue bends over, as Candice runs to the side ropes.. She rebounds back towards the champion.. TILT A WHIRL HEADSCISSORS TAKEDOWN BY CANDICE BLAIR!! SHE JUST LAUNCHED DR. BETHANY BLUE HALFWAY ACROSS THE RING WITH THAT ONE!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Wow, I wish she’d wrap her legs around my head and neck like that!! Wait, look!! Ashley Flores is back in this, as she gets back up to her feet, and makes her way over to Candice Blair who is just now getting up from that Tilt a Whirl Headscissors!!
Stew-O: ROUNDHOUSE KICK BY FLORES!!
Flannery McCoy: NO!! Candice Blair with the matrix evasion, as Flores spins all the way around! Blair now runs over to the ropes, rebounds back.. She hits a handspring.. RIGHT INTO A STUNNER ONTO ASHLEY FLORES!! Flores doesn’t drop however, as she is stunned, barely able to stand on her two feet!! Candice quickly gets back to her feet, runs to the ropes, rebounds.. AND CONNECTS WITH A TILT A WHIRL HEADSCISSORS ONTO ASHLEY FLORES!!!
Stew-O: AND LOOK!! SHE RELEASES IT INTO A CROSSFACE IN THE CENTER OF THE RING!! CANDICE BLAIR HAS THE CROSSFACE LOCKED IN ON ASHLEY FLORES!!
Flannery McCoy: Blair is desperately trying to submit Ashley Flores here in order to put this one away and win the Specialists Championship here at Pain for Pride! With her sister, Camille, winning the Universal Women’s Championship last night, we know that Candice wants to bring home some more hardware to the Ava family household! Candice is tugging and pulling with all of her might!! She’s trying to get the victory right here and now!!
Stew-O: And Ashley has nowhere to go!! Flores is screaming out in pain, as she tries to extend her arms out!! Flores is trying to grab the ropes ahead of her, but it’s no use! She’s too close to the center of the ring to reach that far!! Flores is in a struggle situation, as Candice tries to put this one away!! She just might do it!!
Gavin Kirkland: NO!!! CONCUSSION PROTOCOL!!! DOCTOR BETHANY BLUE JUST CAME IN WITH THE CURB STOMP RIGHT ONTO THE BACK OF CANDICE’S HEAD, AS SHE DROVE CANDICE’S FACE RIGHT INTO THE CANVAS OF THE RING, AND FORCED BLAIR TO RELEASE HER GRIP ON ASHLEY FLORES!! THE DOCTOR JUST SAVED HER TITLE REIGN RIGHT THERE!!
Flannery McCoy: That was too close of a call for Bethany, but now she’s in control as both of her opponents are down on the canvas of the ring. Candice rolls off to the side while clutching her face, as Flores is still face down after being put through that crossface from earlier!! Dr. Bethany Blue now reaches down and grabs the head and hair of Ashley Flores. She brings Flores up to her feet.. AND TOSSES ASHLEY FLORES RIGHT THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPES AND DOWN TO THE RINGSIDE FLOOR!!
Stew-O: Bethany now looks over her shoulder, as she sees Candice Blair down on her hands and knees. The Doctor then turns around, and makes her way over to the legs of Candice Blair. What does she have in mind right here? This can’t be good.. FRACTURED!!! THAT’S THE ELEVATED BOSTON CRAB!!! IT’S LOCKED IN THE CENTER OF THE RING, AND ASHLEY FLORES IS NOT AN ISSUE, BECAUSE SHE’S DOWN AT RINGSIDE!! THIS IS THE PERFECT OPPORTUNITY FOR DR. BETHANY BLUE TO PUT THIS ONE AWAY!!
Gavin Kirkland: Oh man!! I never knew something so beautiful could be so flexible!! :roman:
Flannery McCoy: That’s not flexibility, Gavin!! That’s having your body put into a position that it should never be in! The Doctor is putting so much pressure on the lower back of Candice Blair!! She’s pulling on those legs and leaning back, and all we can hear is the sound of Candice Blair screaming at the top of her lungs!! This is brutal right now, and may be the reason why Dr. Blue manages to win tonight!!
Stew-O: But Candice Blair won’t tap!! She won’t give up!! No, instead, she’s trying to will herself over to the ropes even with the amount of pain she’s going through!! Blair begins to army crawl her way over to those bottom ropes by taking small steps with her forearms!! Inch by inch she goes, as she’s nearly over to the bottom ropes.. BUT DR. BETHANY BLUE APPLIES MORE PRESSURE BY LEANING BACK MORE!!! THE DOCTOR IS PRESSING THE FACE OF CANDICE BLAIR RIGHT INTO THE CANVAS OF THE RING, AS SHE CONTINUES TO PULL BACK ON THIS ELEVATED BOSTON CRAB!! THERE’S A REASON WHY THIS IS CALLED “FRACTURED” AND AT ANY MOMENT, WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO SEE JUST WHY!!
Flannery McCoy: Yeah, I don’t think there is much for Candice Blair to do anymore!! She doesn’t have the strength to fight back up to her forearms because of the amount of pressure being applied onto her lower back.. Plus, her face is getting pressed down into the mat due to the position she’s in, so I don’t see how it’s possible for her to break free!!
Stew-O: Wait a second Flannery!! Look at ringside! It’s Ashley Flores!! Flores is back up to her feet, and climbs up onto the ring apron!! She sees what’s going on in the center of the ring with Candice on the verge of tapping out!! Ashley Flores makes her way over to a corner, and climbs up to the top rope!! Meanwhile, Dr. Bethany Blue is still keeping Blair down with that Elevated Boston Crab!! Blue pulls back even harder and-
Flannery McCoy: ASHLEY FLORES JUST LEAPED INTO THE AIR, AND DRILLED DR. BETHANY BLUE SQUARE IN THE CHEST WITH A MISSILE DROPKICK!!! THAT DROPKICK FORCES THE DOCTOR TO RELEASE HER SUBMISSION HOLD, AS SHE FALLS OFF TO THE SIDE IN THE CENTER OF THE RING!! ASHLEY FLORES FOR THE SAVE!!! WHAT A MOVE TO STOP BETHANY FROM WALKING OUT OF HERE AS CHAMPION!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Did either of you see her booty jiggle when she dove off of the top rope? :roman:
Flannery McCoy: No?
Gavin Kirkland: Neither did I. :krabs:
Stew-O: And now Ashley Flores kicks Dr. Blue on her side, as it forces Blue to turn onto her stomach! Another kick, and she rolls over and onto her back!! STOMP TO THE MIDSECTION BY FLORES!! ANOTHER!! AND ANOTHER!! The impact of that boot driving into the midsection of Dr. Blue forces the champion into a seated position near the center of the ring!
Flannery McCoy: And now we can see Ashley Flores charging towards the side ropes! She hits them, and bounces back.. TUNNEL VISION!! RUNNING SINGLE LEG DROP KICK TO THE BACK OF DR. BETHANY BLUE’S HEAD!! THE CHAMPION FALLS BACK AGAINST THE CANVAS OF THE RING, THEN QUICKLY ROLLS OFF TO THE SIDE, UNDER THE RING ROPES, AND ONTO THE RING APRON TO PREVENT HERSELF FROM TAKING ANYMORE DAMAGE!!
Stew-O: That’s a great strategy by the Doctor, but it doesn’t look like Ashley Flores is going to allow it! Flores turns around and runs to the opposite ropes! She rebounds back after hitting the ropes.. BASEBALL SLIDE DROPKICK RIGHT INTO THE RIBS OF DR. BETHANY BLUE ON THE RING APRON!! IT CONNECTS, AND SENDS DR. BLUE RIGHT DOWN TO THE RINGSIDE FLOOR!! WHAT A MOVE BY ASHLEY!!
Gavin Kirkland: Nice, now I can get a perfect view of those medical ass cheeks! :drakelike:
Flannery McCoy: For once, I wish Jake Mercer were here..
Stew-O: Ashley Flores now looks over her shoulder, and sees Candice Blair crawling her way over to the side ropes. Blair has been down ever since she was put into that Fractured Boston Crab a while ago, but it looks like she’s now making some progress, as she finally gets to the ropes! Blair begins to use the ropes to help herself get up to her hands and knees inside of the ring. She reaches up and grabs the top rope now, and pulls herself up to her feet! Blair turns around-
Flannery McCoy: AND ASHLEY FLORES CONNECTS WITH THE CODEBREAKER!!! CODE BREAKER CONNECTS ONTO CANDICE BLAIR, AND SHE INSTANTLY GETS SENT RIGHT BACK DOWN TO THE CANVAS OF THE RING!! Flores quickly hooking the leg!!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
TWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
THHHHHHHHRR-
Gavin Kirkland: And there’s the kickout by Candice Blair!!
Stew-O: Flores is looking extremely impressive right now, as she’s taken out both the champion and other challenger. She tried to put this one away with the pinfall. It didn’t work, but she’s still in a good position seeing how the other two are doing compared to her right now. It’s going to take a lot to pin or submit either of these two Elitists, but I think Flores is okay with that. The look in her eyes right now simply tells the story that she wants to physically hurt her opponents right now.
Flannery McCoy: Yeah, Ashley Flores definitely loves to inflict a large amount of pain onto her opponents, and now she gets to do it right here at the grandest stage of them all. Flores makes her way over to the side ropes, drops down to the canvas, then rolls underneath the bottom rope in order to get herself out of the ring and right to ringside where Dr. Bethany Blue is struggling to get up.
Stew-O: Ashley now grabs Dr. Bethany Blue and brings her up to her feet. Flores now lifts and raises Dr. Blue up onto her shoulders. What does she have in mind here? This isn’t looking good at all for the champion right now, as Flores charges towards the barricade.. SNAKE EYES BY ASHLEY FLORES ONTO THE BARRICADE!!
Flannery McCoy: NO!!! DR. BETHANY BLUE SQUIRMS OUT OF IT, GETS FROM BEHIND ASHLEY, AND SHOVES HER CHEST FIRST INTO THE BARRICADE!! Ashley drops down to her knee, and clutches at her chest in pain!! Meanwhile, Dr. Blue takes a second to catch her breath, then makes her way over to Ashley who is down on her knee.
Stew-O: Ashley gets up to her feet, but Dr. Blue quickly sends her right back down to the floor with a powerful chop block! The Doctor now reaches down and grabs Ashley by the head and hair.. AND DR. BLUE SLAMS THE BACK OF ASHLEY’S HEAD RIGHT INTO THE RINGSIDE FLOOR!! AGAIN!! AND AGAIN!! AND AGAIN!!
Flannery McCoy: Dr. Blue gets up to her feet now, as she keeps hold of Ashley’s head and hair. She pulls hard, as she brings Flores up to her feet. Flores is barely able to stand and probably has no idea what’s going on after getting her head blasted as hard as she did, but the Doctor doesn’t care! In fact, the Doctor goes for european forearm shot right across the face of Ashley Flores!! Flores drops down to her knees, but Dr. Blue quickly grabs her and lifts her up to her feet! This doesn’t look too good!!
Gavin Kirkland: What do you mean!?! This is hot!
Flannery McCoy: I’m talking about Ashley’s situation in this match! :snoop:
Gavin Kirkland: Oh.. Yeah.. Me too. Dr. Blue is on fire right now.
Stew-O: Dr. Bethany Blue now kicks Ashley in the gut, and pulls her in! Bethany now lifts Ashley in the air!! Ashley is in a vertical suplex position right now as Dr. Blue is stalling the hold!! All of the blood in Ashley’s body is now rushing straight to her head. Something like this can cause a person to get light headed, Dr. Blue has Flores raised up high, as she faces the crowd! Blue now turns around with Ashley still held in that vertical suplex!!
Flannery McCoy: WAIT A SECOND STEW!!! IT’S CANDICE BLAIR ON THE RING APRON!! CANDICE SPRINTS ON THE RING APRON TOWARDS ASHLEY AND DR. BLUE!!!
Stew-O: SPEAR!!! CANDICE BLAIR JUST SPEARED ASHLEY FLORES WHO WAS HELD UPSIDE DOWN IN THAT VERTICAL SUPLEX POSITION!! ASHLEY GETS SLAMMED RIGHT INTO THE THINLY PADDED RINGSIDE FLOOR, AS DR. BLUE FALLS BACK AND HITS THE RINGSIDE FLOOR HARD AS WELL!!
Flannery McCoy: What a move by Candice!! And now, Candice Blair steps over to Ashley Flores. She reaches down and grabs Flores by the right arm and right leg before dragging Ashley’s body right next to Dr. Blue’s!! What is Candice Blair thinking right here? She stands beside both bodies.. STANDING MOONSAULT INTO DOUBLE KNEES ONTO BOTH OPPONENTS!! WHAT A MOVE BY CANDICE, AS SHE DRILLS BOTH BETHANY AND ASHLEY WITH HER KNEES!!
Gavin Kirkland: I’d drill them too..
Flannery McCoy: :snoop:
Stew-O: Candice now reaches down and grabs Dr. Bethany Blue. Blair brings Blue up to her feet, then connects with a forearm strike right across the face of the Doctor! FOREHAND CHOP TO THE CHEST BY BLAIR!! ANOTHER!! AND ANOTHER!! And now Candice Blair shoves Dr. Bethany Blue back against the edge of the ring apron!! Blue is leaned up against that ring apron, as Candice delivers another powerful forearm shot!!
Flannery McCoy: Another forearm shot by Candice!! Dr. Bethany Blue responds back with a european forearm shot! Elbow to the face by Candice!! Elbow to the face by Bethany!! Back and forth they go, as these two women are trading shots with one another!! Back into the forearms!! CANDICE!! BETHANY!! CANDICE!!! BETHANY!! BETHANY!!! BETHANY FOR A THIRD CONSECUTIVE TIME WITH NO ANSWER FROM CANDICE!!
Stew-O: Candice staggers back and drops down to a knee, then slowly works back up to her feet.. BUT BETHANY CHARGES AT HER WITH A RUNNING CLOTHESLINE!! NO!! CANDICE BLAIR WITH ANOTHER MATRIX EVASION, AS BETHANY GOES RIGHT PAST HER AND-
Flannery McCoy: THE CLOTHESLINE CONNECTS RIGHT ONTO ASHLEY FLORES WHO JUST MADE IT BACK TO HER FEET!!
Stew-O: Dr. Bethany Blue now turns around to face Candice.. BUT DR. BLUE WALKS RIGHT INTO A SAVATE KICK FROM CANDICE BLAIR!!! THAT KICK DROPS DR. BETHANY BLUE, AS SHE LAYS DOWN ON THE GROUND AT RINGSIDE!!
Gavin Kirkland: I’m loving the action from this match so far!!
Flannery McCoy: :usure: You haven’t called a single thing regarding this match yet other than their asses..
Stew-O: Candice Blair has been doing phenomenal ever since she connected with that spear from the ring apron, and now she’s making her way back over to Ashley. Blair reaches down and grabs Ashley by the head and hair, and brings her up to her knees.. Blair attempts to lifts Ashley up to her feet, but it’s Flores who connects with a right hook to the body of Candice while being down on her knees!! Now there is a left! Another right!! Another left!! Candice is taking some damage from these body shots, as Ashley Flores has finally made it up to her feet!
Flannery McCoy: Flores with a kick to the abdomen now! She lifts Candice up onto her shoulders, and whats this!?! ASHLEY FLORES CHARGES AT THE THINLY PADDED BARRICADE AND DROPS HER FACE FIRST INTO IT!!! THE SNAKE EYES CONNECTS THIS TIME, AS CANDICE STUMBLES ON HER FEET AT RINGSIDE!! STIFF JUMPING KNEE TO THE FACE BY ASHLEY FLORES!!! WHAT A MOVE!!!
Stew-O: Yeah, that jumping knee sent Candice right back to the ringside floor, as now she is in a seated position.. Wait a second.. FLORES WITH A LOW DROPKICK TO THE CHEST OF THE SEATED BLAIR!!! THAT SHOT SENDS CANDICE BACK AGAINST THE THINLY PADDED RINGSIDE FLOOR!!!
Flannery McCoy: And look at Dr. Bethany Blue! Blue is getting up to her feet, as she uses the ring apron to help pull herself up. Blue leans against the ring, as Flores notices this and makes her way over to Dr. Blue!! Ashley now turns Dr. Bethany Blue around, and wraps her arm around the hea-
Stew-O: WAIT NO!! FLORES WAS TRYING TO WRAP HER ARM AROUND THE HEAD OF DR. BLUE, BUT THE DOCTOR COUNTERED WITH A BACK ELBOW TO THE BODY!! Another back elbow!! And another, but WAIT!!! ASHLEY FLORES WRAPS HER ARM AROUND THE HEAD OF DOCTOR BETHANY BLUE ANYWAYS, AND SLAMS HER FACE RIGHT INTO THE EDGE OF THE RING WITH AN ARM TRAPPED HEADLOCK DRIVER!! Bethany leans up against the ring, and is immediately tossed back inside by Ashley Flores. Flores then slides into the ring right behind Doctor Bethany Blue, and goes for the pin!!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
THHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHR-
Gavin Kirkland: But the champion kicks out!!!
Stew-O: Ashley Flores is not too thrilled about the kickout, as she hits her hand hard against the mat. Flores now gets to her feet, and interlocks her legs with Bethany! What does she have in mind here? Ashley twists around, and.. ASHLEY LOCKS IN THE INVERTED INDIAN DEATHLOCK!! ASHLEY IS TRYING TO SNAP THE LEGS OF BETHANY RIGHT HERE, AS BETHANY BEGINS TO SCREAM IN PAIN!!
Flannerry McCoy: Doctor Bethany Blue is in excruciating pain right now, as she immediately tries to reach her hand out for the ropes!! The champion has her arm extended out towards the ropes, but is a few inches away from actually grabbing them. Meanwhile, Ashley Flores looks over her shoulder and sees what’s going on, so she begins to drag both her and Dr. Bethany Blue to the center of the ring with an army crawl!!
Stew-O: The look on Dr. Bethany Blue’s face tells the story. She is hurting right now, and in so much pain, but the champion inside of her won’t allow herself to lose!! Dr. Blue continues to shake her head, as she continues to tell herself not to tap out, and as great of a strategy as that is, unfortunately it’s not enough for her to actually break free!! Dr. Bethany Blue needs to think of something quick if she intends on getting out of this match the way she came in, and that’s with the Specialists Championship!!
Flannery McCoy: I don’t know Stew!! IT LOOKS LIKE DR. BLUE IS GOING TO TAP!! IT MAY BE HAPPENING!! ASHLEY FLORES CAN SMELL THE CHAMPIONSHIP COMING HER WAY!! SHE JUST NEEDS TO HOLD THIS POSITION FOR A FEW MORE SECONDS!! BETHANY IS.. WAIT!!! BETHANY IS CRAWLING HER WAY OVER TO THE ROPES!!! SHE’S USING WHATEVER STRENGTH SHE CAN MUSTER TO INCH HER WAY CLOSER TO THE ROPES!! THIS IS IMPRESSIVE KNOWING THAT HER LEGS ARE IN SO MUCH PAIN RIGHT NOW!! BETHANY REACHES OUT-
Stew-O: AND SHE GRABS THE BOTTOM ROPE!!! SHE GRABS THE BOTTOM ROPE AND FORCES THIS SUBMISSION TO BE BROKEN UP!!
Gavin Kirkland: I can’t believe she just did that!!
Flannery McCoy: Me neither!! The amount of pain that she had to fight through in order to crawl her way over to the ropes was unimaginable! But that’s what happens when you’re a fighting champion like Doctor Bethany Blue! She went through hell and back to win that Specialists Championship, and after seeing what she’s gone through so far, it’s clear to see that if she does lose the title tonight, it’s not because she didn’t put up a fight until the very end. Doctor Bethany Blue is a true warrior out there, and Ashley Flores has now become quite aware of that. Flores can’t believe that Bethany managed to tap out!
Stew-O: And now look at this!! Ashley gets up to her feet, pulls Bethany right back towards the center of the ring, and begins stomping away at her lower legs!!! Over and over again, Ashley continues to drive her boot into the calf and knee of Doctor Bethany Blue with the only intent being to hurt the Doctor due to the frustration of not putting this one away!!! Ashley is furious right now because of the resilience that Dr. Blue has displayed so far, and now it gives her more reason to hurt the champion! Dr. Blue has no way of defending against these stomps as she has no strength to get back up to her feet.. The pain in her legs is holding her back, and these stomps are now becoming disturbing, as Ashley continues to inflict pain on the-
Gavin Kirkland: CANDICE JUST RUSHED BACK INTO THE RING, AND CONNECTED WITH A RUNNING BICYCLE KICK TO THE FACE OF ASHLEY FLORES!!! ASHLEY JUST GOT CLOCKED IN THE FACE AND SHE DROPPED DOWN TO THE CANVAS OF THE RING!!! THE BLONDIE WITH A FATTY IN THE BACK JUST CAME IN AND SAVED DOCTOR BETHANY BLUE FROM ANYMORE DAMAGE!
Stew-O: Ashley rolls over to the side of the ring, as Candice turns towards Dr. Bethany Blue who is struggling to get up. The damage to Bethany’s leg is evident, as we can see the pain being represented by the look on her face. Bethany is trying to use the ring ropes to help herself up to her feet, but the second she gets up onto one leg, her knees instantly buckle, and she drops right down!!
Flannery McCoy: And Candice is watching Bethany struggle!! She’s literally just staring at the champion, as Bethany can’t defend herself in any way!! Ashley definitely brought it to the champion with that merciless attack on the legs moments ago, and even though Bethany had the heart to keep fighting through both the submission and those leg stomps, there was nothing she could do to escape the pain of it all. That pain was inevitable, and Bethany is well aware of that, as she’s looking at Candice with worry in her eyes!!
Stew-O: Candice now steps over to Bethany Blue, as Bethany again tries to grab the ring ropes and pull herself up! Bethany is almost there!!! BUT AGAIN SHE FALLS DOWN!! TO THE CANVAS OF THE RING!!
Flannery McCoy: Candice continues to make her way over to Bethany, as Bethany has her hand extended out, showing that she’s begging for mercy, while she tries to further back away from Candice, but the ring ropes behind her aren’t allowing that.. Candice with a serious look on her face goes right at Bethany!!!!
Stew-O: AND CANDICE BLAIR EXTENDS HER HAND OUT, GRABS BETHANY’S HAND, AND PULLS HER UP TO HER FEET!!! CANDICE JUST HELPED BETHANY UP TO HER FEET, AND NOW IS WALKING HER OVER TO THE CORNER, WHERE SHE LEANS THE CHAMPION UP AGAINST THE TURNBUCKLE!!! WOW!!! WHAT SPORTSMANSHIP BY THE CHALLENGER!! NOT TAKING ADVANTAGE OF A HURT AND DEFENSELESS CHAMPION!!!
Flannery McCoy: That’s the compassionate side of Candice Blair right there!! She couldn’t get herself to kick the champion while she was down, but this might have cost her the match!! That was a golden opportunity for her to end this match right then and there!!
Gavin Kirkland: Nah, keep this match going. I like what I see.
Flannery McCoy: We know you do, Gavin. You definitely wouldn’t have been a fan of Xander Payne vs Impact..
Stew-O: HOLD THAT THOUGHT!!! ASHLEY FLORES GOT BACK UP TO HER FEET, AND JUST AS CANDICE WAS TURNING AROUND, ASHLEY CHARGED IN AND WENT FOR THE STOP BREATHING!!! THAT’S THE CORNER SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMB AND SHE JUST POWERBOMBED CANDICE BLAIR RIGHT INTO THE BODY OF DR. BETHANY BLUE IN THE CORNER!!!
Flannery McCoy: And because of that powerbomb, both Candice and Bethany are seated in the corner with Candice sitting in front of Bethany!! What is Ashley Flores trying to do here? She backs away, then charges back towards her two opponents.. BASEBALL SLIDE DROPKICK RIGHT INTO THE BODIES OF CANDICE BLAIR AND DR. BETHANY BLUE IN THE CORNER!!! Bethany drops down to her side, as Candice remains in a seated position in the corner!!
Stew-O: And now Ashley Flores makes her way over to Candice where she grabs her arm, and pulls her up to her feet. Flores wraps her arms around the body of Candice.. HUG OF DEATH!! BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX BY ASHLEY FLORES!!! SHE JUST TOOK CANDICE DOWN AND NOW SHE’S GOING FOR THE PIN!!!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
THHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRR-
Gavin Kirkland: Kickout by Candice Blair!!!
Stew-O: Look at Ashley’s face!! She’s upset with the fact that Candice managed to kick out, and the frustration begins to build up once again. Every time that we think this match could be over, Dr. Bethany Blue and Candice Blair do whatever they can to prevent that from happening! The resilience along with the never give up attitude shown by those two is what has been keeping them in this match, because Ashley has been on a roll by showing no mercy this entire match!!
Flannery McCoy: Speaking of no mercy!! Ashley is now down on her knee, and she’s grabbing Candice by the hair, and bashing it hard against the canvas of the ring!! OVER AND OVER AGAIN!! SHE ISN’T STOPPING, AS SHE’S TRYING TO GET AT LEAST ONE OF THESE TWO TO BREAK TO A POINT OF NO RETURN!! Ashley now with a hard right hand! Another! And another!! And another!!! Ashley with multiple strikes down onto the head and face of Candice Blair!! Candice is just taking these punches and has no way of defending herself, because of how quick these strikes are!! ANOTHER ONE!!! AND ANOTHER RIGHT HAND!! THAT’S SEVENTEEN PUNCHES IN A ROW TO THE HEAD!!!
Stew-O: Candice is nearly knocked unconscious now, as Ashley Flores grabs her by the arm, and lifts her up to her feet. Kick to the stomach by Ashley Flores!! She pulls Candice in.. FINAL LULLABY!!! SPIKE DDT BY ASHLEY FLORES CONNECTS, AND CANDICE BLAIR IS BUSTED RIGHT OPEN!!!! Ashley goes to hook the legs!! Meanwhile, Bethany is in the corner, trying to get up to her feet, but once again, she is unable to, as she helplessly watches Candice getting pinned right before her eyes!!!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
Stew-O: BETHANY TRIES TO CLIMB HERSELF UP TO HER FEET WITH THE RING ROPES!!!
TWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Stew-O: BUT AGAIN!!! DOCTOR BETHANY BLUE DROPS DOWN TO THE CANVAS BECAUSE THE PAIN IN HER LEGS IS TOO UNBEARABLE!! THE DOCTOR CLUTCHES AT HER HEAD, AS SHE WATCHES THE FINAL COUNT!!!!
THHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: NO!!! THE SEXY BLONDE KICKS OUT!!! CANDICE BLAIR KICKED OUT!!!! UNBELIEVABLE!!!
Stew-O: Listen to this crowd guys!! Nobody saw that kickout coming!!! Ashley has a look of shock on her face, as we can see Doctor Bethany Blue with wide eyes, as she can’t believe her title reign is still alive!! Candice Blair kicking out was not expected especially since she’s become a bloody mess.
Flannery McCoy: A bloody mess indeed. Blood drips down the face of Candice Blair, as it drips down over her eyes and begins to stain the ring mat. Ashley can’t believe this.. And now Flores gets back up to her feet and.. STOMPS RIGHT DOWN INTO THE INJURED WOUND ON CANDICE’S HEAD!!! EVEN MORE BLOOD BEGINS TO DRIP, AS A POOL OF BLOOD BEGINS TO SURROUND CANDICE BLAIR’S HEAD!! THIS IS HORRIFYING TO WATCH, BUT ASHLEY IS SICK OF THESE KICKOUTS!! SHE’S READY TO WIN THIS AND TAKE HOME THE SPECIALISTS CHAMPIONSHIP!!
Stew-O: Ashley now kicks Candice in the ribs, and turns her onto her belly.. Flores then makes her way over to an open corner, and begins to stare out at Candice Blair who looks nearly lifeless in the ring!! Candice has only a tad bit of energy and strength left, as she tries to get up to her hands and knees.. Meanwhile, Bethany is still struggling to get out of the corner!! And then there’s Ashley Flores who charges in at Candice Blair!!
Flannery McCoy: PAPER CUT!!! THE PUNT KICK CONNECTS!!!!! THE PUNT KICK CONNECTS, AND CANDICE BLAIR iS KNOCKED UNCONSCIOUS AS SHE LAYS IN A POOL OF HER OWN BLOOD!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: And now it’s Flores who hooks the legs!!!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
THHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
Stew-O: NO!!! DOCTOR BETHANY BLUE BREAKS UP THE PIN WITH A FOREARM TO THE BACK OF ASHLEY’S HEAD!!! HOW DID SHE MANAGE TO GET TO ASHLEY FLORES WITH HER LEG HURTING AS BAD AS IT DID!?!?
Flannery McCoy: LOOK STEW!!! IN DR. BETHANY BLUE’S HAND!! IT’S A SYRINGE THAT WAS FULL OF ADRENALINE!!! SHE MUST HAVE PULLED IT OUT OF HER BOOT AND INJECTED HERSELF WITH ADRENALINE IN ORDER TO FIGHT THE PAIN IN HER LEGS AND BREAK THE PIN ATTEMPT IN TIME!!!
Stew-O: And now Doctor Bethany Blue tosses the syringe out of the ring, as Ashley Flores gets up to her feet!! Ashley now charges at Doctor Bethany Blue!!! CLOTHESLINE!!! NO!!! DOCTOR BLUE DUCKS UNDERNEATH THE ARM, AS ASHLEY GOES RIGHT PAST HER!!! Flores continues to run towards the ropes in front of her, bounces back.. BUT SHE GETS NAILED IN THE STOMACH BY A RUNNING KNEE LIFT FROM DOCTOR BETHANY BLUE!!
Flannery McCoy: Flores now gets back up to her feet, as she clutches at her stomach in pain.. BUT SHE’S IMMEDIATE GRABBED BY BETHANY!!! AND SHE’S TAKEN DOWN BY A FALLAWAY SLAM BY DOCTOR BETHANY BLUE!!! ASHLEY FLORES IS HURTING NOW, AS SHE CAN’T KEEP UP WITH THE DOCTOR!!!
Gavin Kirkland: That shot of adrenaline does wonders. Imagine how she is in bed with it!!
Flannery McCoy: Now is not the time, Gavin!! Ashley Flores slowly gets up to her feet.. BUT BETHANY IS BOLTING RIGHT AT HER AT SPEEDS I’VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE!!!! CORKSCREW ELBOW BY THE DOCTOR RIGHT INTO FLORES!!!! AND FLORES GETS SHOVED ALL THE WAY BACK INTO THE CORNER TURNBUCKLES!!!
Stew-O: ASHLEY HITS THE TURNBUCKLES HARD AND THE MOMENTUM CAUSES HER TO BOUNCE BACK TOWARDS THIS SUPER HERO LIKE VERSION OF DOCTOR BETHANY BLUE!!! KICK TO THE STOMACH BY DOCTOR BETHANY BLUE!!! SHE PULLS ASHLEY IN, THEN LIFTS HER UP IN THE AIR!!! WHIPLASH!!!!! THE POWERBOMB CONNECTS ONTO ASHLEY FLORES, AS THE BACK OF HER HEAD SMACKS AGAINST THE CANVAS OF THE RING!!!! CANDICE BLAIR IS STILL DOWN IN A POOL OF HER OWN BLOOD, AS DR. BETHANY BLUE HOOKS THE LEGS OF ASHLEY FLORES!!!!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
TWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
THHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Gina Romano: Here is your winner… AND STILLLLL YOUR SPECIALISTS CHAMPION… DOOCCCTTOORRRR BBEEETTHHHAAANNNYYYY BBBLUUUEEEEE!!!!!
(‘Bad Medicine’ by Bon Jovi hits, as the crowd erupts for Doctor Bethany Blue! She’s not a fan favorite by any means, but this match was an incredible display from all three competitors! Doctor Bethany Blue rises up to her feet and raises the referee’s hand because the adrenaline is hitting that hard. Bethany is then handed her Specialists Championship, as she raises it high in the air for the entire world to see.)
Stew-O: What a match that was!! All three of these women gave it their all, and they all could have walked out with the title on numerous occasions, but in the end, it was Dr. Bethany Blue who found a way to do the impossible after looking like she could no longer walk! What an impressive showing by the champion here tonight!!
Flannery McCoy: Yes! And if this is supposed to foreshadow what her reign is going to be like, then we are in for quite the ride, because this was amazing!
Gavin Kirkland: I wonder if she needs someone to scrub her back after that hard fought victory!
Flannery McCoy: :comeagain:
Gavin Kirkland: I mean, I wonder if she needs someone to walk her back to the locker room after the hard fought victory.
Stew-O: I don’t believe so, because that ambulance is making its way down to the ring!
(The ambulance that Dr. Bethany Blue rode on the way to the stage begins to drive down the ramp and parks right beside the ring. Bethany then climbs onto the top turnbuckles, then steps over and stands on top of the ambulance. She raises the title high up in the air, as the ambulance drives around the ring, and back up the ramp and onto the stage where it parks one final time. Dr. Bethany Blue then raises her title up one final time, as the crowd cheers heavily for her. The screen then fades out.)
(The camera fades backstage to Voltage commissioner Captain Charisma’s office, and it appears that the commissioner is in the middle of a conversation with Showdown’s general manager Hurricane Hawk when someone knocks on the door. Captain Charisma walks up to open the door, and once he sees who it is a grin appears on his face.)
Captain Charisma: Starr, glad you could make it! Looks like you’re missing someone though. :troll:
StarrStan: :mjlol2: I’m just glad to finally be done with her. Veena gave me hell all season, I really don’t understand how you managed to deal with her for so long.
Captain Charisma: Trust me, if I didn’t have to work with her, I wouldn’t have. I don’t know if there’s a single person on the planet that can actually stand Veena… Other than Charlie Marr.
Hurricane Hawk: Can’t wait to share my job with her next season, since she somehow gets a GM spot every year 🙄.
(All three men begin to laugh with each other, knowing that Veena *does* have a history of somehow becoming an authority figure on each show.)
StarrStan: Veena Adams no longer being co-general manager is exactly what Dynasty needed. Now we have the opportunity at a fresh start, and I don’t think that could’ve come at a better time. The season is about to come to an end, and before you know it, it’ll be time for the Draft. This might just be the most important time of the year, but honestly I’m more happy about being able to run Dynasty without having Veena Adams around to try and do things her own way so she could get whatever she wants instead of doing what’s best for the show. From here on out Dynasty will finally be able to be run the way it’s supposed to be, and the Draft will definitely be a much needed reset for the red brand.
Hurricane Hawk: I actually can’t wait. We all know that a lot has gone down on Showdown this season, especially with Ryan Wilson as general manager for the majority of it :francis:. I had no control over most of this since I didn’t take over until the last few months of the season, so I may have been able to make *some* changes, but next season Showdown will be able to follow my vision instead of having to clean up after someone else’s. Pain for Pride has been amazing so far, and I’m confident that we’ll only do even better next season.
StarrStan: My only question is, who gets the first pick?
Captain Charisma: Don’t even worry about that, I have an idea.
Hurricane Hawk: You do?
Captain Charisma: Yeah. We went through this just last year, didn’t we? We could always flip a coin, do rock paper scissors, or just choose among ourselves, but why do something like that when we have the opportunity to create a huge match for the Draft show? This is the show that’s going to kickstart the new season, so if we still need to figure out who gets the first overall pick, why not just have a match to settle it? We could choose a representative for each brand and have them face off in a triple threat at the Draft show, where the winner gains the first overall pick for their brand? That match was a huge success last time we did it, why not go that route again?
StarrStan: Right… Because that worked out so well for you last year :mjgrin:.
Captain Charisma: 😒
(Hurricane Hawk thinks about the idea of the match, especially since he wasn’t around as general manager for last year’s Draft show, and after a few seconds he begins to nod in agreement with Captain Charisma.)
Hurricane Hawk: I actually really like that idea. I didn’t get to take part in last year’s Draft but I did get to see it play out, and aside from who Captain Charisma actually ended up picking.. I think the whole “triple threat to determine the first pick” idea was actually a success. A match with the number one pick for the Draft on the line actually sounds really interesting, and I’m confident in my roster. In fact, I think I already know who I’d like to pick.
StarrStan: Well, you two already know I’m in. Dynasty has some of the best talent in the world, and I’m looking to make that a common theme as we head into the next season.
Captain Charisma: Perfect, I guess it’s official! And your picks?
Hurricane Hawk: Mine is an easy one, since they actually already competed. Not only that, but they actually competed in a triple threat like this to capture the first overall pick in the Draft *and* won. I know exactly what this person is capable of, so I know exactly what I’m doing choosing them to represent Showdown at the Draft show next week. My pick is without a doubt one of the most talented Elitists on the Showdown roster and they just recently proved that by becoming a Champion. They’ve had their ups and downs throughout their career, but time and time again they’ve proven that they have what it takes to come out on top against even the very best, and they actually *have* done it countless times. They have tons and tons of potential, and I know for a fact that they’re not going to let me down next week. So with that being said, Showdown’s representative is…
Hurricane Hawk: The Specialists Champion, Dr. Bethany Blue!
(The crowd can be heard giving a slightly mixed reaction, with mainly boos after the announcement of Dr. Bethany Blue being added to the match. Hurricane Hawk looks proud of his choice, and both StarrStan and Captain Charisma look surprised but they seem to approve of his decision.)
Captain Charisma: :oh: Dr. Bethany Blue, that’s a great pick! She *is* the one that brought Voltage the victory last year.
StarrStan: That’s right, but I don’t think she’ll be capturing the victory at all next week, because my pick is someone that had one of- if not the biggest match this company has ever seen. This man is capable of great things and this entire year we’ve been able to see him do so here on Dynasty. He managed to capture the World Heavyweight Championship just this season, and after their help in getting rid of Veena Adams as general manager, I don’t see how I *couldn’t* pick him. That man has been an asset to Dynasty, and I’m extremely grateful to have had him on my roster for two seasons now. It doesn’t even matter who he’s facing off against, it’s almost impossible betting against him because that’s just how talented he is. We’re talking about one of the greatest Elitists this entire company has to offer! My pick to represent Dynasty is…
StarrStan: The Visual Prophet!
(This time, cheers are heard all throughout the SoFi Stadium after hearing the Visual Prophet’s name, especially after he helped cause Veena Adams to lose her spot as Dynasty co-general manager. Hurricane Hawk seems to like how the match is shaping up, as does Captain Charisma.)
Hurricane Hawk: The Visual Prophet and Dr. Bethany Blue :notbad:. This is already shaping up to be an amazing match.
Captain Charisma: Sure is. The Visual Prophet is a former World Champion and Dr. Bethany Blue just retained her Specialists Championship moments ago.
(Hurricane Hawk and StarrStan both turn towards Captain Charisma, who still has yet to say his pick.)
StarrStan: And what about you? Who are you choosing?
Captain Charisma: ….
Captain Charisma: Myles.
Hurricane Hawk: :comeagain:
StarrStan: :skip:
Captain Charisma: What? You both know how talented and dangerous Myles is. He held the National Elite Championship just this season, and while he and the rest of New Eden have made my life a living hell these past few months, there’s no doubt that he’s a major threat, and while the Visual Prophet and Dr. Bethany Blue are all incredible in their own right, I can definitely see Myles getting the job done.
Hurricane Hawk: Matt… He’s going to purposely tank the match, you know that right?
StarrStan: That, or he just won’t show up at all.
Captain Charisma: No, no he’s gonna show up. And he’s not going to be tanking the match either, because if he *does* then I’ll be suspending Minerva. It’s that simple 🤷♂️.
StarrStan: Alright, but I hope you know what you’re doing. You might just end up giving Dynasty-
Hurricane Hawk: Or Showdown.
StarrStan: ..The first pick.
Captain Charisma: Trust me, I know exactly what I’m doing. I get it. Really, I do. Choosing Myles sounds like a horrible idea, and if I *didn’t* know what I was doing it probably would’ve actually been one. Nobody has had to deal with Myles and New Eden and the rest of their garbage this season more than me, but I’m not giving Myles a choice next week but to compete in that triple threat. If he tries to find a way out of it then Minerva’s suspended, and I know that’s the last thing New Eden wants right now is for any of their members. Myles is going to do his part, and in turn Voltage is going to once again win the number one overall draft pick.
Hurricane Hawk: Alright.. Dr. Bethany Blue versus the Visual Prophet versus Myles it is. Good luck.
StarrStan: And may the best brand win. :mjgrin:
(Hurricane Hawk and StarrStan begin to leave the office, and Captain Charisma doesn’t seem too concerned about his choice to have Myles represent Voltage in the triple threat. From there, Pain for Pride begins to fade away from Captain Charisma’s office.)
(Pain for Pride fades into the next match graphic for the night.)
(The camera cuts back to the ring as Bella Braxton stands ready.)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and Gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL… AND IS FOR THE UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS!!!
(“It Has Begun” by Starset hits as the crowd ERUPTS with a mixture of both boos and cheers as Xavier Williams and Harlow Reichert slowly make their way through the curtain. They pay no attention to those packed inside the Sofi Stadium, instead their obvious focus is on the task ahead. They’re both wearing white and gold attire, standing on the stage taking in the moment that is Pain for Pride. They share a kiss before making their way down to the ring.)
Bella Braxton: Introducing first, the challengers, weighing in tonight at a combined weight of 357 POUNDS!!!!… They are the team of XAVIER WILLIAMS AND HARLOW REEEEEICCHEERRTT!!!
James Peters: This all started at Grand Rampage when Xavier Williams attacked Jack Ripley after losing that 2 out of 3 falls contest! It wasn’t a new mentality from Xavier Williams, but instead a return to the old mentality reminiscent of when he once stood on top of the world years ago. That led to the return of Harlow Reichert at Battle of Egypt who we hadn’t seen since she lost that Answers World Championship match against the former champion on Showdown months ago.
Rich Russillo: They announced their intentions at Battle of Egypt; they said it was time that they began to take what they deserved, which led to them placing their intentions on the Unified Tag Team Champions and their championships. This hasn’t been anything about competition. We’ve watched as the champions have tried to use their past and personal lives against them. Harlow brother; Xavier’s daughter – doing anything they can to get under the skin and into the head of Harlow Reichert and Xavier Williams.
James Peters: This has undoubtedly reached its boiling point. This isn’t going to be pretty. These two teams are going to do everything in their power to make sure that they’re the team that walks out of this massive event as the Unified Tag Team Champions. This has to be a MUST WIN for both Harlow Reichert and Xavier Williams. They’ve called their shot. This is their chance to take what they’ve said they deserve. I’d hate to see how they’re going to react if they fall short of accomplishing this goal.
(They enter the ring and immediately turn to face the ramp, waiting for the arrival of the champions. There’s no taunting. There’s no celebration. They’re completely and utterly focused on winning the Unified Tag Team Championships.)
????: Hey, hey, is this working? Are we live?
(The immediate confusion of the crowd quickly changes to a chorus of boos. The Oculus Ring racing above the stadium switches to reveal IDOL-GUN has taken over the video board as they stream themselves backstage. The Instagram logo sits in the top corner of each display of the stream, the viewer count immediately skyrockets into the hundreds of thousands and the comments coming in at a rate which makes them blur heavily.)
Miku Sakai: (Via livestream) WELCOME, LOYAL IDOL-GUN FANS AND YOU SAD PATHETIC SIMPS TO OUR GLORIOUS DEBUTS HERE AT PAIN FOR PRIDE!!!
(A spotlight shines on the elevated platform of the Pain For Pride stage where Miku Sakai and Hikari Kanno emerge. The pair are wearing provocative robes, clearly hiding something special underneath. Two tall stripper like poles raise from the base of the stage up to the platform from which they stand as a large congregation of loyal IDOL-GUN simps gather at the bottom. They chant their name, decked out head to toe in their merch)
Hikari Kanno: (Via livestream) It has been an incredible year. Miku and I have overcome so much to get to this point and we are honoured, privileged even to be able to give you all the only crumb of worthwhile entertainment you will ever see on this show.
Miku Sakai: (Via Livestream) We know that this is a day that is supposed to be for us, but as we are very giving Queens to the peasant simps, we present to you.. A gift! So without further ado. SIMPS! Play our music!
(“The Day” by PornoGraffiti hits as Miku and Hikari descend down the stripper poles. They twist and twirl, never losing their Unified Tag Team Championships from around their waist. Miku maintains control of the self-stick, broadcasting IDOL-GUN’s provocative display. Hikari and Miku start removing the robes slowly making sure the crowd that once seemed to hate them, sit on the edge of their seats. Spinning around on poles, the two put on quite the syncronized presentation. As the robes fall to the ground, they reveal what once hid what laid beneath. Both are wearing quite glamorous, sparkly, outlandish wrestling gear that they clearly purchased just for this event)
Bella Braxton: And introducing their opponents! Weighing in tonight at a combined weight of 231 POUNDS!!!!… THEY ARE THE REIGNING AND DEFENDING, UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS!!! They are the team of HIKARI KANNO AND MIKU SAKAI!!!!! IIIIIIDDDDDDOOOOOOLLLLLLL-GGGGGGUUUUUNNNNNN!!!!!!
Persephone: This is exhausting already.
Rich Russillo: Agreed
James Peters: Agreed
Hikari Kanno: (Via livestream) Hey Harlow, your brother has a pretty nice view of this…you know…from down *there* :troll:
Miku Sakai: (Via livestream) You get it, Harlow? Because he’s in Hell. Just like where you belong and where your career will end up after tonight :mjlol:
(As Hikari and Miku reach closer and closer to the stage and the sea of simps, a few members proceed to bring out a palanquin. Laced in gold trimmings around the edges, the inside contains a large number of cushions in the Pride colours. IDOL-GUN touch down onto the palanquin and take a seat inside before motioning for the simps to carry them towards the ring)
Hikari Kanno: (Via livestream): I can’t wait to see the excited faces of so many young girls around the world once we retain our Championships. We’re such incredible inspirations to have overcome so much adversity in our careers. This kind of treatment is something we can inspire other Queens to achieve someday. Including your daughter, Xavier.
Miku Sakai: (Via livestream) To be fair Hikari, that’s a really low bar. We don’t need to show young Queens that they too can be carried like royalty around by loyal subjects. All we need to do is literally exist and we would be a better inspiration than Xavier would EVER be. Broken down loser could never be us.
(As IDOL-GUN are carried inside their palanquin, small little packages begin to rain down from the ceiling. They flutter in the stadium, of various colours, coating the ground below. Xavier and Harlow remain far from impressed by their antics)
James Peters: Are…are these condoms?!? And if they couldn’t get any more insufferable, they have plastered their faces all over them. Back and front.
Persephone: Hang on. Have they punctured holes in all of them? Okay, so maybe they’re not *that* bad after all.
Rich Russillo: I’m going to have to say it. As over the top and as…well…toxic these two have been and continue to be to those they interact with, it can’t be understated just how impressive of a beginning their careers have been here in Elite Answers Wrestling. They walked into this company six months ago as nobodies and damn near instantly became the Unified Tag Team Champions! They have defended the titles repeatedly ever since and defeated plenty of outstanding Elitists along the way not just on Voltage but Dynasty and Showdown as well.
James Peters: Rich, the point isn’t that they haven’t been impressive nor that they don’t deserve the Championships they hold. The point is simply why? Why carry on like this? Why embarrass yourself like this? Why drag the Unified Tag Team Championships you hold down the way that you do? Because it’s clear by their victories over some very impressive competition including former World Champions that they don’t NEED this. They don’t need to act so provocative, they don’t need to insult people and treat them the way they do.
(The simps lower the palanquin to the same level of the ring apron and allow IDOL-GUN to exit and climb into the ring. The simps carrying the palanquin head towards the back as the rest of the simps flow into the crowd into a specially designated “Simp Area” to watch the match. IDOL-GUN removes their Championships from their waists, gives them a small kiss and hands them over to the official. “The Day” dies out as the referee calls for the bell to begin the match)
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
James Peters: The bell rings and this match for the Unified Tag Team Championships is officially underway – AND BOTH HIKARI KANNO AND XAVIER WILLIAMS MEET IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING! Both Hikari and Xavier immediately trade forearms! Hikari looks to be gaining the upper hand, forcing Xavier back into the corner! Hikari doesn’t look to relent! Another forearm! Another! Another! Hikari Kanno grabs Xavier Williams by the arm and looks to whip him across the ring, but Xavier’s able to turn it around! Hikari hits the opposite corner as Xavier looks to follow! Hikari gets the boot up! Xavier caught it – AND SMASHES HIKARI BACK INTO THE CORNER WITH STANDING LARIAT!
Rich Russillo: Xavier charges across the ring, looking to pick up momentum, but Hikari is there to meet him with a jumping knee lift sending Xavier back into the corner! Hikari isn’t finished, hitting the ropes and rebounding back! Xavier tries to cut her off with a clothesline, but Hikari is able to slip underneath! Hikari has Xavier locked by the waist, but Xavier fires back and cracks her in the jaw with a back elbow before she can look to send him overhead! Hikari stumbles back and Xavier looks to send her into the ropes! Hikari latches onto the wrist of Xavier and twists! Hikari with a sharp kick to the inner thigh and follows with a European Uppercut! Xavier’s trying to shake out the cobwebs, possibly rocked after that perfectly placed shot to the bottom of the jaw! Hikari fires with a chop of the chest of the Hall of Famer –
James Peters: BUT, XAVIER FIRES BACK WITH A RIB SHATTERING CHOP OF THE CHEST OF HIKARI KANNO! The look on the face of Hikari tells the entire story; eyes wide, mouth open – the sound of that shot echoing around the arena! The hint of that once familiar smirk crossing the face of Xavier Williams as he hits Hikari in the jaw with a forearm! A second! A third! Hikari is backed into the ropes as Xavier runs back across the ring, hitting the ropes for momentum! He doesn’t see the tag from Miku as Hikari rushes forward! Hikari leapfrogs over the top of Xavier as Miku shoots into the ring! Xavier hits the ropes again and Miku takes Xavier down with a drop toe hold! Sliding knee to the side of the head of the Hall of Famer! Xavier is sent rolling out of the ring as Harlow enters! Double dropkick to Harlow Reichert and out she goes under the bottom rope!
Rich Russillo: This is where IDOL-GUN have their advantage over Xavier Williams and Harlow Reichert. Sure, Xavier and Harlow have been training together for the last few years; Xavier taking Harlow under his wing, but this is the second time in their respective careers that they’ve teamed with each other. Train all you want, but there’s no way that they’re going to have the same chemistry as a tag team that managed to take over the Tag Division a mere month after signing with the company! AND BOTH HIKARI KANNO AND MIKU SAKAI FLYING THROUGH THE ROPES WITH DUELING TOPE SUICIDAS! XAVIER WILLIAMS AND HARLOW REICHERT SENT CRASHING BACK INTO THE BARRICADE! Look at the Unified Tag Team Champions; as confident as ever!
Persephone: It’s like they actually believe that anyone here actually wants to see this match :rolling_eyes:.
James Peter: The referee starts to count, but they don’t get far as Miku Sakai quickly rolls Xavier back into the ring. Hikari Kanno adds insult to injury with a shot to the downed Harlow Reichert before making her way back around the ring and towards her team’s corner! Xavier is trying to sit back up, but Miku sends him back down with a strong kick to the chest! Miku grabbing onto the right arm of Xavier Williams; remember that’s the arm that was injured back in October of the last year and kept him on the sidelines for months! Miku trapping that right arm between her legs and drops her knee right down on the joint! Xavier’s screaming out in pain as Miku keeps pressure on that arm! Harlow has made her way back onto the apron and calls for Xavier to fight!
Rich Russillo: Xavier trying to find a way away from Miku Sakai, trying to roll onto his stomach, but that only gives Miku the chance to apply a modified hammerlock! Xavier is trapped on his stomach as Miku positions herself so she has her eyes directly on Harlow! She’s daring Harlow to get into the ring and try to save her partner! Harlow tries to get in the ring, but the referee is there to stop her! Look! Look! Hikari rushing into the ring while the referee’s dealing with Harlow Reichert as Miku Sakai releases that hammerlock and the Unified Tag Team Champions drag Xavier back into their corner! Harlow knows that neither she or Xavier can allow these two to get under their skin as Hikari tags herself back into the match! Miku traps that arm of the former World Champion – and Hikari slingshots herself over the top rope and drives her boot down onto the joint of that right elbow of Xavier Williams! Miku puts her hands up and makes her way up onto the apron, abiding to the referee’s count as Xavier tries to roll away!
James Peters: But, Hikari is there to stop him from going anywhere! Hikari cracks Xavier Williams in the back with a kick the moment that he sits up! Xavier smashes both fists into the canvas as he tries to shrug it off. Xavier gets back to his feet and grabs Hikari by the hair, but Hikari immediately breaks his grip and returns the earlier shot to Xavier with a chop to the chest! That might not have had the same power behind it that Xavier’s did earlier, but you just know that it has to sting! Xavier fires back with ANOTHER BRUTAL chop to the chest – but this time Hikari forces herself to absorb the impact! Hikari with rapid fire forearms forcing Xavier back into the ropes on her team’s side of the ring! Hikari looks to pick up momentum – but Harlow with a kick to the back of Hikari! Harlow grabs Hikari by the hair and tries to keep her trapped as Xavier looks to kick up momentum! But, just like Harlow – Miku Sakai with a shot to the back of Xavier Williams! Hikari is able to get free as Xavier stumbles forward! Running kneelift from one half of the Unified Tag Team Champions and Xavier Williams goes back down!
Rich Russillo: It just shows how much preparation that IDOL-GUN has done leading into their first Pain for Pride! Hikari calls Miku into the ring as Xavier rolls into the corner, and it looks like the referee may just be giving a little bit of leeway now. IDOL-GUN trapping Xavier Williams in the corner and firing away with stomps! They force him back up to his feet and send him across the ring into the opposite corner! Miku looks to follow, but Xavier drops the shoulder and tries to send her over the top rope and to the outside! Miku’s able to catch herself on the apron – but Harlow from behind pulls her legs out from under her! Miku smashes her face on the apron as Hikari charges towards Xavier Williams! Xavier cuts her off with a boot to the face! Hikari staggering back!
James Peters: What a lariat! Xavier Williams almost turned Hikari Kanno inside out! IDOL-GUN has done a brilliant job of keeping Xavier Williams from tagging in Harlow, but with that you may begin to believe that momentum is going to take a huge swing! Harlow Reichert sending Miku Sakai into the barricade; full force! Hikari forces herself back to her feet, but Xavier immediately sends her through the ropes and to the outside! Miku latches onto the top of that barricade as Harlow charges forward AND SMASHES HER WITH A RUNNING EUROPEAN UPPERCUT! Miku slumps back, seated against the barricade AND HARLOW REICHERT FOLLOWS WITH A B-E-A-UTIFUL HESITATION DROPKICK! Xavier has Hikari Kanno mounted and fires away with rapid fire lefts! Both Harlow and Xavier take full advantage at the first real opportunity that they’ve had at control.
Rich Russillo: And you can see that the referee hasn’t started counting with the action spilling to the outside!
James Peters: I really don’t mind that; the Unified Tag Team Championships on the line at the biggest show of the year – give them a chance to do everything that they can to make sure that the better team walks out as the champions.
Rich Russillo: Let them play?
James Peters: Let them play!
Persephone: Let them kill each other!
Rich Russillo: Xavier finally relents as he drags Hikari Kanno back to her feet and rolls her back into the ring. Harlow makes her way up onto the apron as Xavier sends one half of the Unified Tag Team Champions into their corner! Tag! Harlow Reichert enters this match for the first time as both her and Xavier look to take full advantage of Miku Sakai still being down at ringside! They send Hikari across the ring and she hits that corner hard! Running European Uppercut from Harlow Reichert! Leaping Back Elbow from Xavier Williams! Hikari was caught twice on the jaw by the challengers, but they aren’t finished just yet! Xavier Williams taking Hikari Kanno down to the canvas with a snapmare – AND HARLOW REICHERT ALMOST SENDS HER BOOT THROUGH HIKARI KANNO WITH A PENALTY KICK! The referee finally gets Xavier to get back into his corner, but the challengers have the champions reeling! Harlow drags Hikari right into the middle of the ring and drops into a cover!
ONE!!!!!…
TW-KICKOUT!!!!!
James Peters: Hikari is able to kick out just before two and Harlow immediately traps her in a side headlock! It hasn’t been easy to try and identify either team’s plan in this contest; both teams have had control, but they’ve spent most of their time jockeying to keep that control. You can tell by that kick out from Hikari that she has no intention of showing any signs that they have her on the back foot and in response Harlow is willing to slow this thing down and really make Hikari use a lot of her energy to get her team back into his contest.
Rich Russillo: You can tell that it looks like Harlow Reichert and Xavier Williams are prepared to take this thing into deep waters; really make IDOL-GUN fight as far as they can if they want to retain their titles they won back at King of Elite! Hikari trying to push her way back up as her partner has made her way back up to the apron! But, Harlow shifts her position and uses her leverage to force Hikari straight back down onto her side! This is reminiscent of moments ago with Miku having Xavier trapped while Harlow was forced to look on.
Rich Russillo: Harlow just smirks at Miku Sakai as she transitions, forcing Hikari into a seated position and drives her knee right into the middle of the spine! Hikari Kanno’s back is jarring in pain as she reaches out to her partner, but there’s no chance that Harlow is going to let her get close to tagging her! Harlow grabs Hikari by the leg and drags her back over to her corner, trapping that leg in a grapevine and tags in Xavier! Hikari’s trying to kick Harlow away, but Xavier drives his boot right into her sternum! Harlow releases that leg of Hikari as the referee almost reaches a count of five and rolls onto the apron before Xavier lifts her back up to her feet!
James Peters: Xavier applies a front facelock, backing into his corner and Harlow tags herself back in! Xavier turns around and releases Hikari! Xavier with a chop to the chest of Hikari! Hikari turns towards Harlow – and she fires with a chop! Xavier with another! Harlow follows with a second of her own! Xavier – Hikari catches the arm of Xavier Williams! Harlow from behind with a shot to the spine! Hikari drops back down to her knees as Miku tries to get into the ring to save her partner, but the referee stops her! Xavier and Harlow have a hold of Hikari Kanno, looking for a double back suplex! But, Hikari lands on her feet! Hikari shoots forward and grabs onto both Harlow Reichert and Xavier Williams! She tries to power both overhead with a double Northern Lights Suplex! But, both fires with clubbing shots to the back! BUT – HIKARI KANNO FIGHTS THOUGH AND SENDS BOTH HARLOW REICHERT AND XAVIER WILLIAMS OVERHEAD!
Persephone: :notbad: That was almost impressive.
Rich Russillo: Hikari Kanno has her chance to tag in Miku Sakai and gain some chance to recover! Both Harlow and Xavier are getting back to their feet as Hikari leaps! TAG! Miku rushes into the ring and Xavier looks to take her head off with a clothesline! Miku ducks and catches Harlow on the jaw with a running forearm smash! Miku Sakai fires a spinning back kick to the stomach of Xavier Williams! Roundhouse kick to Harlow Reichert! Superkick to Xavier Williams! Harlow falls back into the corner and BANG! Shining Wizard in the corner to Harlow Reichert! Miku has Harlow’s head lock! RUNNING BULLDOG TO HARLOW REICHERT! AND SHE TAKES OUT XAVIER WILLIAMS WITH A SIMULTANEOUS CLOTHESLINE! Xavier’s send rolling out of the ring as a dazed Harlow Reichert stumbles back to her feet!
James Peters: Miku springboards off the middle rope! WOW! MIKU SAKAI TWISTING IN MID AIR AND TAKES HARLOW REICHERT DOWN WITH A SPIKE TORNADO DDT! SHE ISN’T FINISHED! MIKU SAKAI KIPPING BACK UP TO HER FEET, CHARGES FULL SPRINT ACROSS THE RING – AND FLIES OVER THE TOP ROPE AND TAKES OUT XAVIER WILLIAMS WITH A SOMERSAULT SENTON! Miku re-entering this match like a house of fire as she shoots back up onto the apron! Harlow grabbing at the top of her head; she was absolutely spiked by that DDT moments ago! Miku stalks, screaming for Harlow to get back up! She’s up! Miku Sakai slingshots over the top rope – CANADIAN DESTROYER – HARLOW BLOCKS IT! HARLOW LATCHED ONTO THE TOP ROPE AND STOPPED THE MOMENTUM OF MIKU SAKAI! HARLOW GRABBING ONTO THE LEGS OF MIKU SAKAI AND HAS HER TRAPPED! OH MY! HARLOW JUST SENT MIKU CRASHING INTO THAT TURNBUCKLE WITH AN ALABAMA SLAM! YOU COULD FEEL THE IMPACT OF THE UPPER BACK OF MIKU MEETING THE CORNER!
Rich Russillo: You can see Miku struggling to take a breath, but Harlow knows that this may be her chance to call herself champion! Miku Sakai staggers out of the corner and Harlow sweeps her legs out from under one half of the Unified Tag Team Champions! AND HARLOW REICHERT TURNS HER STRAIGHT OVER INTO A BOSTON CRAB! AN INCREDIBLE AMOUNT OF PRESSURE BEING PLACED STRAIGHT ON THE BACK OF MIKU SAKAI! YOU ADD THAT TO THE FACT THAT SHE WAS JUST STRUGGLING TO GET IN ANY AIR AFTER MEETING THAT CORNER AND THIS COULD BE OVER IN A MATTER OF MOMENTS!
James Peters: Miku Sakai screaming in pain as she tries to reach towards the ropes, but she’s trapped in the middle of the ring! SUPERKICK! HIKARI KANNO WITH A SUPERKICK TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD OF HARLOW! Hikari just possibly saved both her partner and their reign as Unified Tag Team Champions! Hikari helps Miku Sakai back up to her feet before locking a stunned Harlow Reichert by the waist! MIKU HITS THE ROPES! RUNNING BLOCKBUSTER FROM MIKU SAKAI POPPED INTO A GERMAN SUPLEX FROM HIKARI KANNO! What a double team from IDOL-GUN! Hikari rolls onto the apron as Miku pushes herself back to her feet! You can see the grimaces on her face; pain still shooting through her back, but she knows that they have Harlow Reichert where they want her! Harlow slowly pushes herself up, but Miku isn’t going to give her the slightest chance to try to regain her bearings!
Rich Russillo: Miku grabs Harlow, traps her arms and powers her up! MIKU IS LOOKING TO DROP HARLOW REICHERT ON THE BACK OF HER HEAD WITH THAT STARFALL!
Xavier Williams: (off-mic) HARLOW!
Rich Russillo: LOOK! XAVIER CALLS OUT TO HIS PARTNER AS HE STANDS ON THE APRON! HARLOW LOCKS HER LEGS BACK AROUND THE NECK OF MIKU SAKAI AS XAVIER WILLIAMS SPRINGBOARDS OFF THE TOP ROPE! SPRINGBOARD DROPKICK TO MIKU SAKAI AND THE MOMENTUM ALLOWS HARLOW TO WHIP HER ONTO THE BACK OF HER HEAD AND NECK WITH A POISONED HURRICANRANA! BOTH MIKU SAKAI AND HARLOW REICHERT ARE DOWN ON THE CANVAS! HIKARI KANNO SCREAMING FOR MIKU SAKAI FOR THE TAG!
James Peters: The benefit for both teams are they both Harlow and Miku are near their respective corners! Both are stirring! The first to get that tag puts their team in possibly the best match! IT’S HARLOW! HARLOW TAGS IN XAVIER WILLIAMS! XAVIER WILLIAMS RUSHES INTO THE RING! MIKU TAGS IN HIKARI! XAVIER SHOOTS ACROSS THE RING – AND HIKARI KANNO CUTS HIM OFF WITH A SLINGSHOT SPEAR! XAVIER’S OWN MOMENTUM WAS HIS OWN DOWNFALL! XAVIER CLUTCHING AS HIS STOMACH AS HE STUMBLES BACK UP TO HIS FEET! HIKARI MEETS HIM WITH A KNEE TO THE STOMACH! NOW A KNEELIFT STRAIGHT TO THE FACE – BEFORE ALMOST TAKING HIS HEAD OFF WITH A WICKED ROUNDHOUSE KICK! XAVIER TRYING TO STAY ON HIS FEET, SLUMPING AGAINST THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! BUT, THAT MAY JUST BE WHERE HIKARI KANNO WANTS HIM! RUNNING DOUBLE KNEES TO THE BACK OF XAVIER WILLIAMS! HIKARI HITS XAVIER FULL FORCE BEFORE LIFTING HIM UP ONTO THE TOP ROPE! HIKARI FOLLOWING XAVIER UP! THIS MAY NOT END WELL FOR EITHER PERSON HERE!
Persephone: Come on, break your necks and put me out of my misery!
Rich Russillo: HIKARI’S TRYING TO POSITION HERSELF ON THE TOP ROPE WITH XAVIER WILLIAMS, BUT HE KNOWS THAT HE CAN’T ALLOW HER TO HIT THIS! IF HIKARI HITS THIS IDOL STAR DROP THAN THEY CAN KISS THEIR CHAMPIONSHIP ASPIRATIONS AWAY! XAVIER WITH AN ELBOW TO THE JAW OF HIKARI! ANOTHER! ANOTHER! HIKARI FIRES BACK WITH A CLUB TO THE BACK, BUT XAVIER SWINGS HIS HEAD BACK AND SMASHES HIKARI STRAIGHT IN THE BRIDGE OF THE NOSE! HIKARI’S LEGS SLIPS OUT FROM UNDER HER AND SHE FINDS HERSELF IN A BAD POSITION SEATED ON THE MIDDLE TURNBUCKLE, SOMEHOW CATCHING HERSELF ON THE TOP ROPE! XAVIER’S PUSHING HIMSELF UP AND TURNS!
James Peters: BUT HE DOESN’T SEE THE TAG FROM MIKU SAKAI! HIKARI HAS NOWHERE TO GO! DIVING DOUBLE FOOTSTOMP FROM XAVIER WILLIAMS TO ONE HALF OF THE UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS!!! HIKARI KANNO DRIVEN DOWN INTO THE CANVAS, BUT SHE’S NOT THE LEGAL COMPETITOR!
Rich Russillo: NIGHT NIGHT!!!! XAVIER TURNS STRAIGHT INTO THAT CODEBREAKER FROM MIKU SAKAI!!! MIKU SAKAI WITH THE COVER!!!!
ONE!!!!!!!… TWO!!!!!!!!… THRE-KICKOUT!!!!!
Rich Russillo: XAVIER JUST MANAGES TO KICK OUT!!!
James Peters: You can tell the faith that Harlow Reichert has in Xavier; she could have broken that pin, but it’s like she knew that Xavier would find a way to get his shoulder up after that Night Night from Miku Sakai! But, Miku now calls for the end! If that shot wasn’t enough, what she has planned next will be! Miku makes her way up onto the apron; you know what she wants to hit! She wants that Skyfall! Xavier slowly, slowly making his way to his feet! Miku is perched! Miku is ready! Xavier’s finally back to his feet – and gets straight out of dodge the moment he sees Miku! Xavier rolls out of the ring as this crowd shows him exactly what they think of him!
Persephone: Obviously the guy that mentored Sexy Rexy is going to have something up his sleeve, unfortunately.
James Peters: BUT, MIKU JUMPS OFF THE TOP ROPE AND SHOOTS ACROSS THE RING! TOPE CON HI- NO!!! HARLOW CUT HER OFF WITH A SUPERKICK FROM THE APRON! MIKU PLUMMETS BACK OFF THE TOP ROPE AND INTO THE RING! XAVIER TAPPING HIS HEAD; THAT WAS AN OBVIOUS PLAN THAT JUST WORKED PERFECTLY!!! XAVIER SLIDES STRAIGHT BACK INTO THE RING!!! TAG!!! XAVIER TAGS HARLOW AND THEY BOTH STALK!!! MIKU IS DAZED; SHE’S STUNNED!!! SHE’S SOMEHOW BACK TO HER FEET!!! SUPERKICK FROM XAVIER WILLIAMS!!! A SPINNING BACKFIST FROM HARLOW!!! ROUNDHOUSE FROM XAVIER!!!! A STRAIGHT RIGHT FROM HARLOW!!! BRUTAL, REPEATED SHOTS FROM THE CHALLENGERS!!!! XAVIER POWERS HER UP INTO AN ARGENTINE BACKBREAKER POSITION!!!! HARLOW CALLS FOR THE END!!!! WE MAY BE ABOUT TO CROWN NEW TAG CHAMPIONS!!!! LES MISERABLES!!!! KNEE TO THE HEAD OF MIKU SAKAI!!! XAVIER DROPS HER DOWN WITH A RACK BOMB!!!
Rich Russillo: HARLOW WITH THE COVER!!!
ONE!!!!!… TWO!!!!!….
Rich Russillo: NO!!!! HIKARI JUST BREAKS UP THE COVER!!!! HIKARI KANNO SAVES THEIR TITLES!!!!
James Peters: But for how long! Miku isn’t moving! It may just be a matter of time! Xavier grabs Hikari and throws her to the outside and lands right in front of our table! Harlow looking across at the corner; you have to believe that the next team to hit something big will walk out of Pain for Pride as the Unified Tag Team Champions!
Rich Russillo: Look at the look in the eyes of Xavier Williams! He may be looking to end Hikari Kanno’s Pain for Pride a little prematurely early! Both Harlow and Xavier exchange a look; Harlow nods her head!
Harlow Reichert: We end this.
Rich Russillo: XAVIER SHOOTING OUT OF THE RING AND GRABS HIKARI KANNO! HARLOW MAKING HER WAY UP ONTO THE APRON! MIKU SAKAI IS IN THE SAME POSITION AS SHE HAD HER PARTNER TONIGHT AT PAIN FOR PRIDE A YEAR AGO! XAVIER FORCES HIKARI BACK TO HER FEET AND PULLS HER IN! WE MAY HAVE TO GET OUT OF DODGE! XAVIER POWERING HIKARI KANNO UP ONTO HIS SHOULDERS AS HARLOW BEGINS TO MAKE HER WAY UP TO THE TOP ROPE! BUT, HIKARI FIGHTS! XAVIER WILLIAMS WANTS TO POWERBOMB HIKARI THROUGH OUR TABLE, BUT SHE’S GOING TO CONTINUE TO FIGHT WHILE SHE HAS SOMETHING LEFT IN THE TANK! HIKARI FIGHTING WITH FOREARMS! SHE’S ABLE TO FIGHT BACK DOWN TO HER FEET! XAVIER SWINGS WITH A WILD RIGHT HAND – BUT, SHE DUCKS UNDERNEATH AND CATCHES XAVIER! OH MY GOD! BRIGHTSTAR! SHE JUST SENT XAVIER WILLIAMS CRASHING ATOP OF OUR ANNOUNCERS TABLE WITH THAT HIGH ANGLE URANAGE SLAM!
James Peters: ALL HARLOW COULD DO IS WATCH; IT’S NOW OR NEVER! MIKU STILL HASN’T MOVED! WUTHERING HEIGHTS!!!! CORKSCREW SHOOTING STAR PRESS!!!! NO!!! MIKU MOVES OUT OF THE WAY!!!! HARLOW LANDS ON HER FEET – BUT THE MOMENT SHE TURNS AROUND HIKARI KANNO ALMOST TURNS HER INSIDE OUT WITH A RUNNING BICYCLE KNEELIFT!!! HARLOW GOES DOWN!!!
Persephone: Fuck, I don’t care who wins at this point. Just end the match!
Rich Russillo: Blood coming from the mouth of Harlow Reichert as Hikari Kanno helps Miku Sakai back up to her feet. I don’t know how after that shot, but Harlow with determination in her eyes drags herself across the ring and forces herself back to her feet with the help of the ropes as Miku Sakai tags Hikari back into the match! Miku just rolls onto the apron; the effects of this match are so evident! These four may be just running off fumes, but Hikari Kanno is undoubtedly in prime position! Harlow Reichert isn’t going to like what’s waiting for her! Harlow’s back up – and Hikari with a knee to the midsection and pulls her in! HIKARI WANTS TO END THIS WITH THAT ALLELUIA, BUT HARLOW’S ABLE TO FIGHT OUT OF IT AND SLIP OVER THE SHOULDER OF HIKARI KANNO! HIKARI TURNS INTO A FOREARM FROM HARLOW! HIKARI RETURNS THE FAVOUR WITH ONE OF HER OWN! HARLOW FIRES WITH ANOTHER! HIKARI KANNO DOESN’T BACK DOWN! HARLOW! HIKARI! HARLOW! HIKARI! HARLOW! HIKARI!
James Peters: HIKARI SWINGS WITH A WILD RIGHT HAND, BUT HARLOW DUCKS UNDERNEATH AND FIRES WITH A SHOT TO THE RIB! HARLOW FIRES WITH A KICK TO THE INNER THIGH! WHAT A HEADBUTT! HARLOW, JUST LIKE XAVIER EARLIER IN THE MATCH, CRACKS HIKARI IN THE NOSE WITH A HEADBUTT! HIKARI FALLS BACK INTO THE ROPES AND STUMBLES BACK FORWARD! HARLOW POWERS HIKARI UP ONTO HER SHOULDERS, BUT HIKARI WITH AN ELBOW TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD! THEY BOTH KNOW HOW DIRE THIS IS; THEY KNOW THEY NEED TO FIGHT! REPEATED, UNFORGIVING ELBOWS TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD OF HARLOW REICHERT AND SHE DROPS DOWN TO A KNEE! HIKARI KANNO SUCCESSFULLY FIGHTS DOWN TO HER FEET!! HARLOW FALLING DOWN TO HER HANDS AND KNEES AS HIKARI PULLS DOWN HER KNEEPAD! HIKARI MAY BE LOOKING FOR THAT DEFINITIVE FINAL BLOW! SHE HITS THE ROPES, BUT HARLOW SHOOTS BACK UP AND PAST HIKARI!!! SHE SPRINGBOARDS OFF THE MIDDLE ROPE!!!! ASHES OF THE PHOENIX!!! NO!!! HIKARI CAUGHT HER IN MID AIR BY THE LEGS!!!
Rich Russillo: HARLOW’S TRYING TO FIGHT OUT OF IT, BUT HIKARI TRAPS HER ARMS!!! HITODENASHI DRIVER!!!! HARLOW HAS BEEN DRIVEN DIRECTLY ON THE BACK OF HER HEAD WITH THAT CRADLE kiPILEDRIVER!!!! SHE HOLDS THE PIN!!!!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!….

ONE!!!!!!!!!!…
TWO!!!!!!!!!!…
THREE!!!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: NO!!! MIKU SAKAI LEAPS THROUGH THE AIR AND JUST MANAGES TO BREAK IT UP!!!! ALL FOUR COMPETITORS ARE DOWN, BUT THESE FANS ARE ALL ON THEIR FEET!!!
James Peters: All four of these Elitists are showing how much walking out at Unified Tag Team Champions mean to them! All four slowly drag themselves across the ring; dragging themselves back to their feet with the help of the ropes! They stand on opposite sides of the ring, leaning up against the ropes. I do not know what any of these four have left, but it can’t be much! You can see the blood coming from the mouth of Harlow Reichert and the nose of Hikari Kanno! AND THEY ALL MEET IN THE MIDDLE! MIKU TRADING SHOTS WITH XAVIER WILLIAMS! HARLOW AGAINST HIKARI! HARLOW FORCING HIKARI BACK UP AGAINST THE ROPES WITH FOREARMS, BUT LOOK AT MIKU SAKAI! SHE’S DUCKS UNDER A SHOT FROM XAVIER AND CRACKS HIM RIGHT UNDER THE JAW WITH A JUMPING KNEE! HIS LEGS FALLING OUT FROM UNDER HIM, MAYBE FOR A MOMENT TURNING HIS LIGHTS OUT! MIKU SAKAI HITS HARLOW FROM BEHIND!
Persephone: You have them where you want them! Kill them!
Rich Russillo: Harlow falls straight into a front facelock from Hikari Kanno! Hikari drives her knee into the stomach and chest of Harlow as Miku turns her attention to Xavier and sends him rolling out of the ring with a sliding knee, this time connecting to the side of the head! Hikari and Miku exchange a look before Miku begins to make her way up to the top rope! Harlow is trying to fight, but she barely has the strength to do so as Hikari Kanno powers her up onto her shoulders and into that electric chair position! These simps at ringside know that their IDOL-GUN are about to add another successful championship defense at the biggest stage in this entire business! NEVER FADING IDOL FAME!!!! HARLOW REICHERT DRIVEN INTO THE CANVAS WITH THAT ELECTRIC CHAIR TORNADO DDT COMBINATION!!! HIKARI HOOKS THE LEGS!!!! THE CHAMPIONS HAVE RETAINED THEIR UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS!!!!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
James Peters: NO THEY HAVE NOT!!!! HARLOW BARELY, BARELY GETS HER SHOULDER OFF THE CANVAS!!!!! THERE WASN’T ANY AUTHORITY IN IT, BUT SHE GOT HER SHOULDER ABOUT IN INCH OFF THE CANVAS!!!! FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS MATCH, POSSIBLY, MAYBE IDOL GUN MAY HAVE THE SLIGHTEST HINT OF SHOCK!!!! They’re both back to their feet and they see Xavier trying to force himself back up to his feet on the outside.
James Peters: They know that this is their moment to vanquish another team in this incredible reign! Hikari Kanno and Miku Sakai are more than happy to put that final nail in the coffin of both Xavier Williams and Harlow Reichert’s Pain for Pride! Xavier’s back up in front of our table as Miku shoots across the ring AND FLIES OVER THE TOP ROPE WITH A TOPE CON HILO!!!! NO!!!!! NO!!!! XAVIER CAUGHT HER ON HIS SHOULDERS!!!! XAVIER WAS BARELY ABLE TO KEEP HIS FOOTING AS MIKU SAKAI TRIES TO TURN IT INTO A HURRICANRANA, BUT XAVIER BLOCKS IT – AND SWINGS HIKARI KANNO RIB FIRST INTO THE EDGE OF OUR TABLE!!!! YOU COULD HEAR THE GASP AS ALL THE AIR LEAVES HER BODY!!!!
Persephone: :lupe:
Rich Russillo: Harlow’s back to a knee in the ring and she forces herself to stumble into Hikari’s corner as she pushed up to her feet; she couldn’t hit HIkari, but she cut off the distance Hikari needed to connect with whatever she had in mind!
James Peters: LOOK AT XAVIER! HE ISN’T DONE WITH MIKU! HE POWERS MIKU BACK UP AND DRIVES HER INTO THE EDGE OF THE APRON WITH A POWERBOMB! HE STILL REFUSES TO LET HER GO; YOU CAN SEE MIKU’S ARMS SHAKING FROM THE TRAUMA TO HER BACK AFTER THAT!!! SHE FORCES HER BACK UP ONTO HIS SHOULDERS ONE LAST TIME – AND SENDS HER OVER THE BARRICADE AND CRASHING INTO SIMPLOW AND SIMPVIER SITTING AT RINGSIDE!!!!! MIKU SAKAI LEFT LAYING IN A PILE OF SIMPS!!! XAVIER WILLIAMS HAS TAKEN OUT ONE HALF OF THE UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS AS THE OTHER STILL LOOKS TO PUT HARLOW AWAY!!!!
Rich Russillo: Hikari’s forcing Harlow up onto the middle rope by a handful of her hair! She knows that her partner is out, but it may have been the last of Xavier’s energy as he struggles ringside! This match may be down to these two and Hikari Kanno finds herself in prime position! Harlow tries to fight, but Hikari smashes her in the mouth with a forearm!
Hikari Kanno: (off-mic) You should have just done the same as your brother, you dumb cunt.
Rich Russillo: Hikari forces Harlow up onto the top rope and puts Harlow into position! She may not only be looking to retain IDOL-GUN’s championships, but end Harlow’s career! This doesn’t end well! This never ends well! HIKARI WANTS THAT ALLELUIA OFF THE TOP ROPE, BUT HARLOW’S TRYING TO BLOCK! HIKARI CONNECTS WITH A HEADBUTT AS HARLOW’S LEGS SLIP OUT FROM UNDER HER, BUT SHE FORTUNATELY LANDS ON THE TOP ROPE; HER LEGS TRAPPED AS SHE HANGS! HIKARI SHAKES HER HEAD AS SHE FORCES HARLOW BACK UP, BUT HARLOW GRABS A HOLD OF HER AND SENDS HER OVERHEAD!!!!
James Peters: STRAIGHT INTO AN ASHES OF THE PHOENIX FROM XAVIER WILLIAMS!!!! THERE WASN’T ANYTHING THAT HIKARI KANNO COULD HAVE DONE TO COUNTER IT!!!! HIKARI IS DOWN!!!! HIKARI IS OUT!!!! HARLOW FINDS HERSELF ONTO THE TOP ROPE; HER LEGS BEHIND CAUGHT JUST PUT HER IN THE PERFECT POSITION!!!! HIKARI HASN’T MOVED!!!! THE SIMPS AT RINGSIDE HAS PUT MIKU BACK OVER THE BARRICADE AS SHE’S TRYING TO FORCE HERSELF BACK INTO THE RING, BUT IT MUST FEEL LIKE THERE’S A MILLION MILES BETWEEN HER AND THE RING!!!! HARLOW STEADIES HERSELF!!!! WUTHERING HEIGHTS!!!!! HARLOW REICHERT WITH THE CORKSCREW SHOOTING STAR PRESS TO HIKARI KANNO!!!!! THE COVER!!!! HARLOW DOESN’T EVEN HAVE THE ENERGY TO HOOK THE LEG!!!!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: MIKU’S TRYING TO FORCE HERSELF BACK INTO THE RING!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!
James Peters: BUT SHE CAN’T!!!!!!
THREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
(“Eye of the Tiger” by New Found Glory hits as Harlow Reichert remains unmoved on top of Hikari Kanno. Miku Sakai slides off the apron and falls ringside as the referee grabs Unified Tag Team Championships and hands them to Xavier Williams.)
Bella Braxton: THE WINNER OF THIS MATCH… AND THE NEWWWWWWW UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS!!!!! XAVIER WILLIAMS AND HARLOW REEEEEICHEEEERRTTTT!!!!
James Peters: THEY DID IT!!! XAVIER WILLIAMS AND HARLOW REICHERT HAVE BEATEN IDOL-GUN AT PAIN FOR PRIDE!!!!
Persephone: Fucking finally.
Rich Russillo: Both teams left absolutely everything out there in front of the world, but by god; we have new Unified Tag Team Champions!
(Xavier Williams slowly makes his way across to Harlow and hands over her championship as the two embrace in the middle of the ring. Miku is seen sitting ringside devastated, with all the simps ringside in tears after watching their IDOL’s fall.)
James Peters: You can see how much this means to the new champions; this has been a season filled with heartbreak and this has to make it all worth it! The chance to stand alongside each other on the grandest stage in this business and call yourself CHAMPIONS!
(The camera cuts to Hikari Kanno sitting in the corner, a nasty scowl on her face as he watches Xavier and Harlow leave with the championships both IDOL-GUN members held proudly. Harlow Reichert and Xavier Williams gingerly stand on the stage, raising their newly won championships high into the air as the camera fades elsewhere.)
(The camera fades to the backstage locker room area, deep in the halls of SoFi Stadium. It slides across to reveal Jamie O’Hara beginning to lace up his boots ahead of his Answers World Championship match with Kassidy Heart. A similar, stoic expression on his face as he finds time to kill until he, in his mind, kills the Answers World Champion later this evening)
????: There you are…
(A voice is heard bouncing around the room. A smile impossible to dash from his face appears on Jamie’s face as he rises off the bench. The person was none other than the Goddess herself, Cameron Ella Ava. He wraps his arms around his wife and gives her a kiss. The two pause and enjoy the moment before Jamie takes a step back and admires his wife’s attire for her match. Speechless, he can’t help but reflect on where they were a year ago)
Jamie O’Hara: You know I can’t believe it’s been an entire year already; since putting all of that behind us and moving on. I was honest when I said that was the most perfect moment of my career just because I got to hold you afterwards and share such an important part of my career. And now you’re back, healthy and I couldn’t be happier for you.
Cameron Ella Ava: When it comes to you and this place though, the more things change the more they stay the same. There is something I need to ask you about and I don’t want you to get mad or anything.
(Jamie guides his wife to sit beside him on the bench as he continues to get ready for his match)
Cameron Ella Ava: It’s just I’m worried. I didn’t want it to ruin Fathers Day and I know this week has been a busy one with all the events and engagements and maybe this still isn’t the best time but…what happened on Showdown? You weren’t yourself and you haven’t really been all there since…well…since Kassidy got the better of you. But Jalyn…
(O’Hara looks up at his wife’s rather concerned face with a bit of confusion before realising what she was talking about)
Jamie O’Hara: mmmh? Oh. Jalyn made his own decisions, I can’t be to blame for what happened to him. The kid was given everything he could ever ask for entering this company and whatever decisions he made thereafter are for him to deal with the consequences of. If that means finding yourself in a match like he did on Saturday night then I don’t know what I could have done.
Cameron Ella Ava: You could have stopped it…
Jamie O’Hara: And what would that have taught the boy? He ran away from his problems once, he ran away when things got difficult a second time. After everything I did for him, training him and readying him to become some future ‘Ace’ he turned his back on it all. I’m not upset that he made his own choice and wanted to put this behind him okay? I’m glad he made a choice, stuck with it and yeah it was unfair that he got dragged in but that’s life…
(O’Hara shrugs his shoulders and returns to preparing his gear for his match once again)
Cameron Ella Ava: “That’s life”? His shoulder is shattered, Jamie. They said it was like he was involved in a high speed car crash; he’s never going to recover, he’s never going to have complete use of that arm. What kind of lesson were you teaching him by abandoning him when he PLEADED with you to help him? You just sat there and watched his life be changed forever for zero reason–
Jamie O’Hara: **I DID WHAT I THOUGHT WAS FUCKING RIGHT–**
(Jamie, realising he had raised his voice, cuts himself off and takes a deep breath)
Jamie O’Hara: What happened, happened, I…I probably made a mistake but there’s nothing I can do to fix it other than beating the piss out of Kassidy Heart. I’m not going to let it distract me from tonight and of all the people I don’t want it to distract, it shouldn’t distract you either. I know how much tonight means to you. You’ve had this dream of competing at Pain For Pride in your hometown of Los Angeles…
(O’Hara pauses for the roar of the crowd to rise and fade in the background.)
Jamie O’Hara: …for such a long time that I don’t want anything to ruin it. Your entire family is here to watch you cap off what has been an unbelievable return. There is nobody in the world who has been a bigger inspiration for not just me, but for hundreds of thousands of others than you. To have suffered all those injuries, dealt with that rehab and recovery all while pregnant and then to be a loving, caring and incredible mother to our Hathaway for the last six months makes me struggle to believe that I’m such a lucky guy. You get to put the finishing touch, a Goddess’ touch on a spectacular return to EAW in front of everyone you love and hold so dear.
(A slight pause fills the air as Cameron holds back a tear. Jamie’s smile grows as he holds his wife closer)
Cameron Ella Ava: I don’t think nineteen year old me would believe it if she was told she would be realising that dream with a gorgeous baby boy and a wonderful husband watching. But you’re right. I have been waiting my entire career for the very moment I can walk into a Pain For Pride match in my hometown; ever since Pain For Pride 2. It’s the reason why I’m here…it’s the reason I met you and the reason why we have the family we have.
(Cameron pauses and sighs)
Cameron Ella Ava: And for a while it didn’t seem like it was ever going to happen. I was so worried that my career was cut short and all my dreams went up in flames. It was the most physically and mentally demanding time of my life but you made it so much easier. And now my dream is our moment. You, me, Hathaway being able to look back on this night with so much joy; he gets to watch his mother and father do what they do best.
(Jamie can’t help but smile. For the first time in what seems like months, he appears like his normal self)
Jamie O’Hara: I’m sorry that I raised my voice and I’m sorry that I’ve worried you this last week but when tonight is over, when you and I win our matches, we can go home and I’ll figure out the mess I’ve made when this is all behind me. Kassidy, my career, this company. All of it. I promise you, that this will all be over. Whatever comes next, it’s all over.
(Jamie pulls Cameron in and she leans against him. He kisses the top of her head as he wraps an arm around her)
Jamie O’Hara: Now, go and beat Rex. Go and realise that dream you have had for over a decade now. You’re going to make everyone proud.
(Cameron turns her head and Jamie simply nods. She gives him a kiss before reaching to her feet and taking her leave towards the ring. Jamie sinks into his seat, not quite going back to how he was previously, but contemplating plenty as the camera fades to black)
(The camera transitions as the next match graphic appears on screen to the deafening cheers from the crowd)
(From there it then goes to the ring to show Bella Braxton standing at the center of it with a bright smile on her face and a mic in her hand)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen the following contest is scheduled for…
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
(‘Champion’ by Barns Courtney blasts through the speakers of the arena to the positive reception of the crowd in response. It isn’t long afterwards that Rex McAllister makes his way out to the stage, hyped up and ready for the occasion especially considering the Free-Per-View. It’s a different sight this year to see Rex somewhere not present in the Pain For Pride main event but despite that, it doesn’t make a difference regardless. What doesn’t change is the motivation that he’s going to continue to have regardless as long as he’s in Elite Answers Wrestling soil. Rex scans the crowd who continues to show their reaction to the Hall of Famer, before he makes his way down the ramp and headed to the ring)
Bella Braxton: Introducing first… from Sea Isle, New Jersey… weighing in at 238 pounds… ‘THE ELITIST’… REX MCALLISTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: And once again, Rex McAllister walks onto the Pain For Pride stage. A man who has had his share of Pain For Pride moments on the grandest stage, if there’s one thing I can say for certain it’s the fact that he’s looking for another. Last year Rex won the EAW World Championship from Andrea Valentine and while this match isn’t for a World Championship it doesn’t take away from the importance of this match in the slightest.
James Peters: Rex has always been someone to make the best out of any situation that he finds himself in, and tonight he’s looking to get a big win under his belt to end Season 14 and enter Season 15 strong. And no matter the hurdle or roadblock that seems to be standing in his way, I’m sure the man wouldn’t have it any other way.
Persephone: :whew: IS IT GETTING HOT IN HERE OR IS IT JUST SEXY REXY MCALLISTER I SEE IN MY VIEW?! IT’S TIME! REX MCALLISTER WALKS INTO HIS FOURTH CONSECUTIVE PAIN FOR PRIDE MAIN EVENT, ICONSIDERITSOBECAUSENOBODYCARESABOUTDRAKEORMALCOLM. AND KICKS ASS LIKE HE ALWAYS DOES! WHAT A FUCKING KING! WHAT A FUCKING KING!
(Rex stops at the bottom of the ramp and paces around for a moment before making his way up the steel steps and onto the apron. He hypes the crowd up with a big smile on his face before he jumps into the ring and spreads his arms out. He looks around once more before turning on his heels and climbing up to the top rope in his corner. ‘Champion’ fades out as the crowd continues to chant Rex’s name as he stands on the top rope with a straight look on his face)
(The lights shut off before placing a spotlight in the middle of the stage. A little girl, who looks at least five years old, is seen sitting down on the stage as a huge storybook is placed in front of her. The title of the book is called “The Story of The Goddess” as it is printed in a medieval cursive font. She slowly goes to approach the book to open it, but the book flies open before landing on a page. The little girl stands back as a female voice-over begins to read her the story.)
Cameron Ella Ava: (voiceover) When I was a little girl, my mom used to tell me and my twin sister, Consuela stories about these heroes — superheroes, mythological heroes, and anything with a story. Consuela would pass out before the story was finished, but I was always fascinated with them. I used to think that they were larger than life beings and I grew up and told my mom that I wanted to be a superhero and instead of laughing at me or telling me that I was way over my head, she encouraged me and assured me that I can be one if I put my mind too it.
Cameron Ella Ava: (voiceover) As I got a little bit older, I realized that being a superhero was a little of an unrealistic career route for someone like me, but it wasn’t until I reached middle school, where my home life would become a challenge for me and my sisters. My dad worked Mondays to Fridays and when he wasn’t at work, he was drinking and inviting his friends over. At some point, it became difficult to bear as that drinking turned into abuse. I needed to find an escape and one of my P.E. teachers told me about some wrestling show happening in our gym and they needed help with cleaning the gym, assembling small things for the show and me, looking for anything to escape, decided to get my twin sister to tag along to one of the shows.
(Suddenly, like a pop-up book, a hologram of the same wrestling ring in Cameron Ella Ava’s middle school begins to pop up, startling the little girl.)
Cameron Ella Ava: (voiceover) So every Saturday and Sunday, I would be at the gym, helping out any way I can. After I was done with those chores, I would sit back and watch the show. I didn’t really think much of it, but it wasn’t until I watched this one guy slicing the forehead of this other guy with a pizza slicer I’m pretty sure the lunch lady used to cut the pizza on that Friday. Let’s just say that I avoided pizza for the rest of the year because knowing how cheap our school was, they weren’t buying replacements. 🤢
Cameron Ella Ava: (voiceover) Where was I? Oh yeah, so since then, wrestling became a part of my life and inspired me to go out for the cheerleading squad in high school. I was the base and despite being skinny, the coach was shocked that I was able to carry one of our flyers on the shoulder because she deemed it was impossible for someone as skinny as me to hold that much strength. But yeah, wrestling is still important and I began to watch our local wrestling shows. I even got one of my younger sisters, Camille, to be invested in the sport and it’s safe to say that she was more obsessed with wrestling than me. It wasn’t until I turned eighteen where I made the decision to pursue wrestling, but my mom wanted me to go to college. I did half a semester of college, but it felt too much like high school and I’m not looking to repeat that shit again. So, I dedicated my life to wrestling full time.
(A hologram video of an eighteen-year-old Cameron Ella Ava training in a local wrestling school in Los Angeles plays.)
Cameron Ella Ava: (voiceover) About a year later, Camille won tickets from a debate competition she had and it was four tickets to Pain for Pride II at the Staples Center. EAW began to be one of the hottest wrestling companies at the moment, so getting front row tickets was almost impossible at that point. Me, my twin sister, Consuela, Camille, and my youngest sister, Candice all sat in the front row and watched the spectacle.
(A hologram video of Pain for Pride II begins to play. Small brief clips of matches like Montell Smooth versus Ronn Banks, Hair versus Hair match with Lethal Consequences and Impact, Cash in the Vault and Extreme Enigma winning the match, The Heart Break Boy versus StarrStan, Jaywalker versus Mr. DEDEDE, and Mak versus Captain Charisma versus Mister K.)
Cameron Ella Ava: (voiceover) To me, these characters were out of life…like the superheroes that my mom would read to me and my sisters every night. The event was truly something to remember and it cemented my aspirations to get to EAW and be part of Pain for Pride the next time it came to Los Angeles. That was a promise that I made to a nineteen-year-old Cameron Ella Ava.
(The book flips some pages by itself before landing on another page. This time, a hologram pops up as it plays small clips of Cameron Ella Ava during the first few years of EAW. From winning her first Vixens Championship to having feuds with the likes of Christy Cruise, Kendra Shamez, and Cleopatra and having her moment at Pain for Pride 6 with her dethroning Cleopatra and her year-long Vixens Championship reign.)
Cameron Ella Ava: (voiceover) About two years later, I got signed by EAW. I would have been lucky to have won just one championship because all I wanted to do was to buy my mom the house that she deserved and I did that in two years. But, I could not forever be blessed with the opportunities that I’ve gained over the years. Being part of this company has been a rollercoaster of events.
(A hologram pop-up as Cameron Ella Ava’s journey in EAW plays. From the highs and lows, it’s safe to say that this woman has been put through so much, but her spirit and determination are what keeps her going. From her heartbreaking relationships to her rivalry with Mr. DEDEDE and getting hit with a Flaming Equalizer to all of her crowning achievements are highlighted.)
Cameron Ella Ava: (voiceover) It’s been an insane journey, but one of the things that I never expected to happen was to find my soulmate.
(A hologram pop-up of Cameron Ella Ava and Jamie O’Hara looking at each other across the ring after their battle at Pain for Pride 9.)
Cameron Ella Ava: (voiceover) And to have him…
(A hologram of Hathaway, their son, pops up from the book.)
Cameron Ella Ava: (voiceover) Damn, I told myself I wasn’t gonna cry, but I’m fortunate for what wrestling has done for me. It’s saved my life in a way. I bought my mom a house, paid for my sister Candice’s rehab and treatment, and helped pay the funeral expenses that Consuela needed to give her ex-fiancee the proper burial he needed. Most importantly, it gave me a sense of purpose. It allowed me to escape my everyday life and pretend to be a superhero. Until, I realized…
(A hologram of her niece, Chloe Olivia in a Cameron Ella Ava snapback and t-shirt, pop-up from the storybook.)
Cameron Ella Ava: (voiceover) I became an actual superhero to kids like my niece and I didn’t need to wear a cape or anything. I just needed to show resilience and the ability to never give up. After being hit with that Flaming Equalizer and *returning* a year later, I had peers looking at me backstage, not believing that I’m standing and I look in better shape than I did before. Despite going through two difficult things in 2020 — a Flaming Equalizer and childbirth, I have returned stronger than ever. I have become a superhero to those who thought that I was done at Grand Rampage in 2020. Being a superhero means that I need to do things that a normal person couldn’t do and I like to think returning from being hit with an Equalizer is one of those things. Not only that but the ability to sacrifice and think of others before yourself.
(A hologram pops up of the yearly Ava Family Christmas Card with her mother Carmen, her sisters, Consuela, and her daughter Chloe; Camille and Candice, and right next to her are her husband Jamie and her son, Hathaway.)
Cameron Ella Ava: (voiceover) Tonight is super important to me. It’s one of the first things that I’ve done for myself in a while. A chance to fulfill the promise of the nineteen-year-old Cameron Ella Ava and perform in front of her hometown.
(The hologram that popped up from the giant storybook disappears before a hologram appears above the ring of the Oculus ring of SoFi Stadium. Inside the ring, holograms appear of Cameron Ella Ava over the years, preparing for battle inside the ring.)
Cameron Ella Ava: (voiceover) The last time I was in a stadium in Los Angeles, I was nothing more than a girl with dreams. Now, Pain for Pride returns to Los Angeles and I take my place as “The Goddess.”
(The lights go off in the stadium completely.)
(‘ULTRAnumb’ (Exterminated Remix) by Blue Stahli begins to blast through the speakers, giving a THUNDEROUS reception for the hometown girl. It pans to the same storybook from earlier as the book splits apart, making a hole in the middle. A golden spotlight shines in the middle as Cameron Ella Ava, who is dressed as a golden goddess, rises up from the ground. She has a golden crown on her head as a long, sparkling golden train flows right behind her. She is looking VERY elegant and the goddess that she is as she looks around the sea of EAW Universe who is giving her the love and reception that she is worthy of. :wow: )
Bella Braxton: And his opponent… from Los Angeles, California… weighing in at 140 pounds… THE GODDESS… CAMERON ELLA AVA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: What an entrance by the hometown hero! You can tell that just from that, this match means alot to her. She dreamt of being on this stage ever since she was 19 sitting amongst the sea of people at Pain For Pride 2. And 10 Pain For Pride events that she has competed in later, I think she has more than accomplished that.
James Peters: This stands out from the rest more than anything else. She has the chance to fight in her hometown to an extremely positive reception from the masses and put on a show that absolutely nobody will forget. “Career-threatening injury” or not, absolutely nothing has stopped her from getting to this point. And win or lose, that is absolutely applaudable.
(The golden spotlight continues to follow Cameron as she elegantly makes her way up the steps. She looks out to the dark abyss that is meant to be the EAW Universe as she enters into the ring and makes her way towards the center. As soon as she spreads her arms out at the center, the lights come back to normal to the cheers of the crowd once more. Cameron scans the arena as she nods before making her way towards her corner. She takes off her golden crown and bestows it into the hands of the referee as ‘ULTRAnumb’ (Exterminated Remix) fades out as the ref signals for the bell)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Rich Russillo: Here we go as what should be an instant classic of a match is underway! Rex and Cameron are already preying on one another, beginning to circle around the ring and slowly inching towards one another and meeting at the center. Both of them are engaging now as they lock up into a Collar-and-Elbow tie up! Both of them are in the feeling out process of this match as they jockey for position in hopes of getting the upper hand. Rex manages to swiftly maneuver around Cameron and lock in a waist lock! But Cameron quickly wraps her arm around his neck as she turns it around and takes him down to the mat before cinching in a grounded headlock to counter! Cameron keeps it locked in, but Rex uses his hand to shove her away before locking in a headscissors! Rex manages to quickly turn it around in his favor once more, squeezing her head with his legs! Rex keeping it locked in, but not for long as Cameron manages to stretch her leg out and rest it on the bottom rope calling for a rope break!
James Peters: They’re slowly rising back up, testing the waters for the time being before really getting into the nitty gritty of this match. Where they engage in another lock up! Both of them are focusing on jockeying for position as Rex is beginning to get the better of Cameron pushing her towards the ropes, before sending her to the opposite pair of ropes with an Irish whip! Cameron tries to respond, BUT REX MAKES HIS WAY TOWARDS THE CENTER OF THE RING AND TAKES CAMERON DOWN TO THE MAT WITH A SHOULDER TACKLE!
Persephone: YESSSSSSS! I DON’T REALLY CARE FOR THIS PURE WRESTLING SHIT BUT MY SEXY REXY IS ABSOLUTELY BEATING HER ASS RIGHT NOW! COME ON REXY! YOU GOT THIS!
Rich Russillo: Cameron is taken down to the mat with a thud as Rex looks to follow up immediately after running to the ropes and back! But Cameron slides under that as Rex jumps over and rebounds off the opposite pair of ropes, BEFORE BEING CAUGHT WITH A PICTURE PERFECT DROPKICK BY CAMERON! Cameron responding back, getting back up to her feet and waiting for Rex to do the same. BEFORE FOLLOWING UP WITH A BIG ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO THE SIDE OF HIS HEAD!
James Peters: But there’s nobody home as Rex ducks his head and gets back up to his feet, BEFORE COUNTERING WITH A STEP-UP ENZUIGIRI! Cameron stumbles down to a knee as Rex grabs her by the head and picks her up, BEFORE LIFTING HER UP OFF THE GROUND AND TRANSITIONING INTO A SUPLEX! Cameron is sitting up in a world of hurt, but Rex isn’t concerned about that as he’s right back up to his feet and running to the ropes! BEFORE FOLLOWING UP AND CONNECTING WITH A BASEMENT DROPKICK TO THE HEAD OF CAMERON TO TAKE HER DOWN TO THE MAT! Rex quickly dropping down and going for the pin attempt!
OOONNNEEE!!!
Persephone: FUCK!
Rich Russillo: BUT CAMERON GETS THE SHOULDER UP! And let me just say right now it’s going to take much more than that to keep the hometown hero down for the count. Rex is right back up, Cameron doing the same following behind him. As Rex pops Cameron up onto his shoulders into a Fireman’s Carry! Cameron thinking on instinct though as already she’s beginning to attack with elbow strikes to the side of her head, Rex trying to keep ahold of her but Cameron is beginning to overwhelm the fellow Hall of Famer, as he places her back down to the mat! Cameron already right back on the attack as she grabs him and throws him towards the ropes with an Irish whip! REX REBOUNDING AS CAMERON TAKES ADVANTAGE GOING FOR AN EARLY ATTEMPT AT THE WONDER WOMAN PUNCH!
James Peters: But Rex saw it coming as he ducks under the forearm strike and turns around in place, GRABBING HER FROM BEHIND AND DROPPING HER DOWN TO THE MAT WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX BEFORE SHE CAN DO ANYTHING ELSE! Cameron grabbing her neck in pain as immediately she’s rolling over to the edge of the ring and grabbing ahold of the bottom rope. Rex seeing this as I don’t think he’s going to let her catch a break, RUNNING TOWARDS HER AND GOING FOR A BASEBALL SLIDE TO KNOCK HER OUT OF THE RING AND TO THE RINGSIDE AREA!
Persephone: BUT REX MAJESTICALLY SLIDES THROUGH HER CAUSE HE AIN’T GOT TIME FOR THAT BITCH!
Rich Russillo: But before Rex can connect Cameron manages to pull herself away leaving Rex meeting nothing but air and tumbling down to the ringside area!
Persephone: Mine was better.
Rich Russillo: Rex falling against the barricade, but he’s pulling himself back up to his feet in hopes of recovery before anything else can happen. BUT BEFORE HE CAN EVEN GET A BREATHER CAMERON LEAPS THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPES AND TAKES HIM DOWN TO THE MAT WITH A SUICIDE DIVE! Rex is stumbling back up to his feet clearly dazed, BUT CAMERON ISN’T DONE AS THIS TIME SHE GOES FOR A REPEAT! LEAPING OVER THE TOP ROPE AND TAKING REX DOWN ONCE AGAIN WITH A TOPE CON HILO! Cameron grabbing Rex and rolling him into the ring as she slides back in herself, GOING FOR AVACADABRA! THE SHINING WIZARD!
James Peters: But Rex ducks under it just in the nick of time! Rex grabbing Cameron, AS HE ROLLS HER UP INTO A SCHOOL BOY ATTEMPT! But Cameron kicks out before the ref can even start a count! Both of them are back up, calculating their next move. CAMERON ALREADY TRYING TO REBOUND RUNNING TOWARDS REX AND GOING FOR SUNSET BOULEVARD! LEAPING OVER HIM AND GOING FOR A SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMB!
Persephone: YES! YES! REXY KEEPING HIMSELF UP AND TURNING IT INTO A KNEELING BACK TO BELLY PILEDRIVER! LET’S FUCKING GO! GO FOR THE PIN ATTEMPT REXY! SHE’S DONE FOR!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO-
Rich Russillo: BUT NOT YET, CAMERON POWERS OUT! Rex is slowly beginning to mount a comeback but I don’t think Cameron is going to allow that. Both have alot their fighting for tonight and the stakes could not be any higher between the two of them. With two competitors like this, one wrong move could be their undoing. And I think both of them are continuing to keep this in their head as the match progresses. And quite possibly, the more desperate they get.
James Peters: I wouldn’t try and put that in the picture just yet, Rich. Rex is back up as he makes his way over to Cameron and grabs her by the arm bringing her back up as well. Rex sending her into an Irish whip towards the turnbuckle padding, BEFORE RUNNING TOWARDS HER AND LEAPING UP INTO THE AIR WITH AN ATTEMPT OF A HIGH KNEE STRIKE TO HER FACE! But Cameron barely manages to avoid it as she retreats out of the corner! Cameron is still fighting as she runs to the ropes and back, BUT IS MET WITH A BACK ELBOW TO THE FACE BY REX WHICH TAKES HER DOWN TO THE MAT!
Persephone: COME ON REXY! YOU GOT THIS! NOW ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS TAKE ADVANTAGE AND THAT DUMB BITCH IS COMPLETELY DONE FOR! SLAY!
Rich Russillo: Cameron grabbing her nose as she claws at the canvas to drag herself towards the ropes, but Rex has a hold of her already. Possibly looking to take advantage once more and keep the leverage that he has for the moment. CAMERON IS ON SPAGHETTI LEGS AS REX LIFTED HER OFF THE GROUND AND GOES FOR AN OLYMPIC SLAM TO ONCE AGAIN TAKE HER DOWN TO THE MAT!
James Peters: BUT CAMERON MANAGES TO SLIP OUT JUST IN TIME AND COUNTER WITH SNAPBACK! SNAPMARE FACEBREAKER TAKES REX DOWN INSTEAD AS CAMERON ROLLS HIM ONTO HIS BACK AND HOOKS THE LEG FOR A PIN ATTEMPT!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHH-
Persephone: YES! HE’S NOT DONE JUST YET YOU PLASTIC BIMBO! REX GETS THE SHOULDER UP AND KICKS OUT LIKE THE KING HE IS!
Rich Russillo: Cameron realizes that Rex isn’t done just yet as she’s right back up to her feet and to a vertical base to ready herself. Rex shaking himself off just a little stunned as he brings himself up to a knee, BUT IS MET WITH A SUPERKICK TO THE JAW BY CAMERON TO TAKE HIM DOWN TO THE MAT! Rex is immediately taken right back down before Cameron drags him back up. THIS TIME SETTING HIM UP INTO A POWERBOMB POSITION AND LOOKING TO CONNECT WITH A BIG TURNBUCKLE POWERBOMB!
James Peters: BUT REX SLIPS OFF AND GOES UNDER TAKING CAMERON DOWN TO THE MAT WITH A BASEMENT DROPKICK TO HER KNEECAPS! And Rex is on the attack, targeting a joint and going for it as he seems to have his sights set on the left kneecap of Cameron! This is what you have to do in a wrestling match, AND REX KNOWS THAT AS HE BEGINS TO CONNECT WITH ELBOW DROP AFTER ELBOW DROP REPEATEDLY ONTO THE LEFT KNEECAP OF CAMERON! Rex knows that he has to get the advantage or it’s going to get much worse than what’s already happened!
Persephone: SHATTER THAT FUCKING KNEE! MAKE SURE THAT SHE CAN NEVER WALK AGAIN MY SEXY REXY!
Rich Russillo: These are the types of adjustments that you have to make in a wrestling match in order to get back on top when the cards are stacked against you and I think Rex realizes that. REX GRABS CAMERON’S LEG AND IS NOW CONTINUING TO TARGET THAT KNEECAP LOCKING IN A SINGLE LEG BOSTON CRAB! Cameron is screaming in pain as she’s trying to find a way out, but I’d there’s one thing we can say for certain it’s the fact that she’s not going to give into the abrupt and overwhelming attack by the former World Champion! If there’s one thing that Cameron has to do is either find a way to counter it or crawl to the ropes and call for a ropebreak but I don’t think that’s going to be so easy especially against someone that is nearly two times her weight!
James Peters: Cameron has always had heart and that’s exactly what she has to utilize in the heat of the moment! Rex is continuing to drop as much weight as he can in order to keep Cameron locked down tight, but Cameron is pulling through planting her arms on the canvas and beginning to pull herself up! She’s trying to bring herself up in hopes of countering this as the ropes seem to feel miles away for her, it would be too late if she tried to crawl to the bottom rope! Rex is trying his best to keep her down, but Cameron managing to turn the tables as she falls flat on her back and begins to use her free leg to kick herself free from the grip of Rex! Rex trying his best to lock it back in, trying to grab the other leg of Cameron to keep her down, BUT CAMERON MANAGES TO FIND HER WAY OUT OF THAT SITUATION USING EXTREME FLEXIBILITY TO BRING HERSELF BACK UP AND TAKE REX DOWN TO THE GROUND WITH A MONKEY FLIP!
Persephone: WHAT THE FUCK?! SHE HAD TO HAVE INJECTED SOMETHING INTO HER DURING THAT! REXY HAD HER, SHE WAS GOING TO TAP! REFEREE, CHECK HER!
Rich Russillo: Rex tumbling down to the mat after an absolutely beautiful counter by Cameron. You can see her slowly moving around, favoring that left knee but is continuing to push through and fight. Cameron following up as she brings Rex up, AND PULLS HIM IN BEFORE DRIVING HER KNEE RIGHT INTO HIS ABDOMEN! You know that had to hurt as Rex miraculously drops down to a knee, BUT NOT FOR LONG AS CAMERON CONNECTS WITH A HEEL KICK USING HER RIGHT LEG TO TAKE REX BACK DOWN TO THE GROUND!
James Peters: Once again Rex finds himself backed against a corner. It’s not a matter of if he’s going to find a way out of it, simply when? Rex slowly bringing himself up to a seated position feeling the effects of this match as it continues to go on, BUT CAMERON IS CONTINUING TO FIRE ON ALL CYLINDERS AND THAT SHOULD BE SOMETHING THAT REX IS CONCERNED WITH AS HE’S MET WITH A METEORA ATTEMPT BY ‘THE GODDESS’! But Rex manages to move out of the way of that leaving Cameron to land on her knees! Cameron stumbling up to her feet, hurting because of the impact of her landing going full force not expecting Rex to move out of the way! AS REX TAKES ADVANTAGE AND GRABS THE LEG OF CAMERON ONCE AGAIN TARGETING IT AND TAKING HER DOWN TO THE MAT WITH A DRAGON SCREW!
Persephone: THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU HAVE TO LOOK OUT FOR IN A SEXY REXY MCALLISTER MATCH! ONE WAY OR ANOTHER HE’S GOING TO FIND A WAY TO BEAT YOUR ASS AND HE DID JUST THAT AGAINST THAT ANNOYING ASS HOE! NOW DO IT AGAIN REXY! DO IT AGAIN!
Rich Russillo: Cameron clearly in a world of hurt but she’s still pulling herself up to her feet, her will is trumping her pain at the moment! Frankly the name of this grand event is quite fitting, Pain For Pride :wow:. CAMERON THROWING A LARIAT ATTEMPT TRYING TO CATCH REX OFF GUARD! But Rex manages to duck under that as Cameron turns around, REX TRYING TO MEET HER WITH A SWIFT PELE KICK! But Cameron saw through that moving out of the way just in the nick of time! Rex falling to the ground, AS CAMERON RUNS TOWARDS HER AND GOES FOR THE WONDER WOMAN PUNCH! FOREARM SMASH!
James Peters: REX EFFECT!
Persephone: ANDJENEWIWNWIWNWIENEIWNWJENEIENEIWNO2N2OWNWOWBWIEEIWBS
Rich Russillo: REX USING THE MOMENTUM TO DRIVE CAMERON HEADFIRST INTO THE MAT WITH THE FLOAT OVER TORNADO JUMPING EVENFLOW DDT! CAMERON IS COMPLETELY KNOCKED OUT, IF THERE WAS A CHANCE TO SECURE A VICTORY FOR REX IT WOULD BE RIGHT NOW! AND HE’S DOING JUST THAT AS HE SCRAMBLES FORWARD AND PINS CAMERON’S SHOULDERS ONTO THE MAT!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

…
James Peters: HOW THE HELL DID CAMERON ELLA AVA KICK OUT OF THE REX EFFECT?!
Persephone: HOW THE HELL DID THAT BITCH KICK OUT OF WHAT NOW?!?!?!?!?!?!
Rich Russillo: Honestly if you know Cameron by now, I’m absolutely baffled why you’d be surprised that she’s still fighting. This is a hometown crowd and you know that 19 year old Cameron Ella Ava would be absolutely shattered if she gave in at her tenth Pain For Pride in Los Angeles, California of all places. Quite frankly, I think Rex is going to have to kill her.
Persephone: GLADLY!
James Peters: Well we already know Rex’s track record as well. There’s a reason he’s as accomplished and decorated as he is and that’s because of his will to succeed and overall status as the standard bearer of an Elitist, his nickname of ‘The Elitist’ is not something that he says for play. Rex will go to all lengths to make sure he gets his way and I’m sure he has no problem facing what seems to be an impossible hurdle in the form of Cameron.
Persephone: Can you add the loving husband of Persephone Tsitsipas to that too? Thank you.
Rich Russillo: In all honesty though, Rex looks a little shocked. He’s slowly pulling himself up to his feet as you can see Cameron fluttering her eyes trying to regain consciousness after seemingly instinct pulled her out of that situation. Rex back up to his feet as he’s circling back around the ring, waiting for Cameron to get back up as you can see him contemplating what’s going to be next in this match and if I were him I’d find a way to keep Cameron down!
James Peters: Easier said than done as Cameron manages to get herself up to a knee, WHICH REX ISN’T LETTING GO ANY FURTHER AS HE RUNS FORWARD AND GOES FOR A KNEE STRIKE TO THE FACE OF CAMERON! But just barely does Cameron bring her hands out in front of her and pushes his leg away sending Rex stumbling away! Cameron helping herself up, practically dragging that left leg behind her as she makes her way as Rex is back up himself!
Persephone: REXY COME ON! SHE’S LITERALLY WEAK AS FUCK! YOU GOT THIS! YOU GOT THIS! USE YOUR SUPERPOWERS!
Rich Russillo: CAMERON WITH THE WONDER WOMAN PUNCH BEFORE REX CAN DO ANYTHING! THE FOREARM STRIKE CONNECTS TAKING REX DOWN TO THE MAT! BUT CAMERON ISN’T GOING FOR THE PIN, SHE KNOWS THAT’S NOT GOING TO BE ENOUGH TO KEEP REX DOWN ON THE MAT!
James Peters: Rex is down and out as Cameron rolls through, AND LOCKS IN AN ARM BAR! The arm bar is locked in as one way or another Cameron is looking to weaken Rex and take advantage of the opportunity that’s going to present itself as a result! Rex is trying to bring himself up to some sort of base at the moment but Cameron has the hold locked in tight! I don’t expect Rex to tap out to this but the longer that Cameron keeps this locked in the more danger that it’s going to be for the Hall of Famer once he escapes and the match continues!
Persephone: NO NO NO! FUCK! FUCK! COME ON REXY! I BELIEVE IN YOU!
Rich Russillo: Rex is continuing to persist but it seems like Cameron’s weak left kneecap Rex might have a vulnerable spot as well! Rex is trying to drag himself back up as Cameron seems desperate to keep the hold locked in for as long as she possibly can, BUT HE’S UP AS REX PICKS HIMSELF UP TO A KNEE AND IMMEDIATELY BEGINS TO RAIN DOWN PUNCHES ONTO THE FACE OF CAMERON TO FORCE THE HOLD TO LOOSEN AT THE VERY LEAST!
James Peters: BUT THAT MIGHT NOT BE WHAT REX HAS PLANNED AS HE ROLLS THROUGH AND LOCKS IN A KNEEBAR THIS TIME! TARGETING CAM’S INJURED KNEE!
Persephone: BREAK IT! BREAK IT! BREAK IT!
Rich Russillo: Cameron is screaming in pain this time as all throughout this match Rex has found a target and stuck with it! Rex is trying to take Cameron out of commission so he can finish this match off but it hasn’t been so easy for him! Despite the immense pain that Cameron has gone through all throughout this match one thing that has stayed the same is the fact that she hasn’t given up! She’s continued to push through and that’s the qualities that an Elitist should have and the reason that she’s rose to stardom! Cameron is beginning to crawl now as I can’t seem to believe it! She’s fighting through the pain and dragging herself and Rex to the ropes! The question is, will it be too late!
James Peters: Cameron has never given up in her life and I don’t think she plans to begin tonight! You can see Rex trying his best to drop his weight and make sure that Cameron is kept in place but that’s not looking too easy for him especially considering the wear and tear that he’s been through in this match! Who will outlast the other?! IT’S CAMERON THAT MANAGES TO FIGHT THROUGH IT AS SHE BARELY PUTS HER FINGER ON THE BOTTOM ROPE! REX IS FORCED TO BREAK THE HOLD AS CAMERON MANAGES TO PERSEVERE!
Persephone: …
Rich Russillo: Both of them are scrambling up to their feet. BUT CAMERON WITH IN EXCELSIS ALA JAMIE O’HARA! CAMERON JUST DROVE HER INJURED LEFT KNEE INTO THE FACE OF REX BUT I DON’T THINK SHE CAN CAPITALIZED! SHE JUST DROPPED DOWN TO THE MAT!
(Cameron falls to a seated position as she grabs her knee in pain, clearly the impact didn’t go as smoothly as she expected to go. Immediately the ref makes his way over to check on Cameron and assess the situation, but before he can even say anything Cameron shoves him away and takes a deep breath)
POP!
James Peters: DID SHE JUST POP HER KNEE BACK INTO PLACE?!
Persephone: …
Rich Russillo: Cameron is screaming in pain but is fighting through it as she pulls herself close to the ropes to help herself up to her feet. Rex is slowly getting up as well, feeling the effects of the Bicycle Knee strike flush against his head. Rex slowly turning around trying to gain his bearings as he makes a run towards Cameron before things can get out of hand for him, GOING FOR A JUMPING CLOTHESLINE TO TAKE CAMERON DOWN!
James Peters: GODDESS RISING!
Persephone: Am I high, is something going on. This all must be just one crazy dream isn’t it? My brain is fucking with me, THIS CAN’T BE FUCKING HAPPENING!
Rich Russillo: STEP-UP AXE KICK COMPLETELY TAKES REX BY SURPRISE AND KNOCKS HIM OUT COLD! REX IS DOWN ON THE GROUND AS CAMERON COLLAPSES DOWN TO THE GROUND AS WELL! BOTH OF THEM HAVE BEEN THROUGH WEAR AND TEAR AND THIS MIGHT BE THE BREAKING POINT FOR REX MCALLISTER RIGHT HERE! CAMERON IS STILL FAVORING THAT KNEE AS SHE CRAWLS OVER TO REX, AND THROWS AN ARM OVER HIM! PIN ATTEMPT! PIN ATTEMPT!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
….
…
…
James Peters: THERE’S NO WAY THAT REX MCALLISTER JUST KICKED OUT OF THAT! HE GOT THE SHOULDER UP! HE GOT THE SHOULDER UP!
Persephone: :oh: IT’S NOT A DREAM! REXY HAD THIS SCOUTED ALL ALONG AND WANTED TO GIVE CAMERON SOME FALSE HOPE AND COMPLETELY CRUSH HER DREAMS! THAT’S THE SUPER REXY I KNOW!
Rich Russillo: And the exhaustion on Cameron’s face says it all. She’s not all that surprised, but she’s going to have to continue to push through this match if she wants a victory and to be honest with you I don’t think she has a single problem with that. Cameron is slowly dragging herself up to her feet as Rex is barely beginning to show life, God knows how either of them are still moving at this point. But they are Hall of Famers for a reason, they’ve been through the wringer countless times and I’m sure they could go for another hour if they had to. That’s the dedication that you have to put into this business and is a testimony to how important a Pain For Pride victory is for everyone on the roster. It simply depends on the lengths you are willing to go in order to succeed and get what you want as a result.
James Peters: Rex is beginning to stir as you know he wants to keep going in this match, none of them are going to settle for defeat especially if they want to make an impact heading into the next Season. Rex is trying to shake himself off in hopes of getting his head back into the game but if we know one thing for certain, it’s the fact that Cameron isn’t going to let that happen. Rex is backed up against the corner as he rests his head against the bottom turnbuckle, it’s seeming to be a struggle for him right now but Cameron isn’t going to let him take a break. AS CAMERON RUNS FORWARD AND GOES FOR A BOOT DEAD TO THE FACE OF REX!
Persephone: YES! BUT REXY MOVES OUT OF THE WAY! DEDEDE WHO?! DEDEDE COULD FUCKING NEVER!
(Rex collapses down to the ground as he continues to drag himself up, Cameron collides with the corner but immediately recovers. Rex is planted up to a knee as he looks towards her with a straight look on his face)
Rex McAllister: (Off-Mic) You wanted the best, right?
(The only response that Cameron gives, is a simple nod of determination)
Rex McAllister: (Off-Mic) I’m right here.
Rich Russillo: And those are fighting words from the Hall of Famer as Rex immediately steps forward and delivers a sharp elbow strike to the face of Cameron! Cameron is sent backwards but immediately begins to retaliate with a response of her own coming in hot with a mirroring elbow! Rex is sent backwards himself, but steps forward and this time sends a knee strike towards the abdomen of Cameron! Both of them are showing variety in their attacks, AS CAMERON STEPS FORWARD AND GOES FOR AN ENZUIGIRI! But Rex manages to duck under it as Cameron falls down to a knee, AND REX RUNS FORWARD TAKING CAMERON OUT WITH A SHINING WIZARD TO COUNTER!
James Peters: Cameron rolls out to the apron before Rex can fully capitalize. Rex stands up and makes his way over to Cameron, BUT CAMERON THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE SENDS A SHOULDER THRUST TO HIS GUT! Cameron making her way up to the top rope as Rex tries to collect himself, BUT BEFORE HE CAN DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE SITUATION HE’S IN CAMERON LAUNCHES OFF THE TOP ROPE AND COMPLETELY LEVELS HIM WITH A BEAUTIFUL METEORA! WHAT HEIGHT BY ‘THE GODDESS’ TO QUICKLY TURN THE TIDES IN HER FAVOR! Cameron bringing herself up to her feet, the adrenaline coursing through her veins as Rex continues to push through the pain as well. Both of them have so much that they’re fighting for but only one can come out on top tonight. Rex attempting to get up and run towards Cameron, BUT CAMERON GOING FOR A SPRINGBOARD ROUNDHOUSE KICK!
Persephone: YES! MY REXY MANAGES TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY OF IT BECAUSE HE’S THAT GOOD AND CAMERON FUCKING SUCKS!
Rich Russillo: Rex rolling out of the way and up to his feet as Cameron rolls to the ground and brings herself up to a knee as well. Cameron getting up and turning around, AS REX MEETS HER FLUSH AGAINST THE FACE WITH A SPINNING WHEEL KICK! CAMERON IS COMPLETELY KNOCKED TO THE GROUND AS REX HOOKS THE LEG AND GOES FOR A PIN ATTEMPT!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTTWWWWOOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
James Peters: BUT CAMERON GETS THE SHOULDER UP!
Persephone: NO! THAT SHOULD’VE BEEN IT! THAT SHOULD’VE BEEN FUCKING IT!
Rich Russillo: Rex already pops himself up to his feet as he’s circling around Cameron like a shark who’s just found his prey. Rex is anxiously waiting for him to get back up to his feet as he finally has the chance to turn the tides in this matchup for good! Cameron is slowly beginning to stir as Rex is readying himself for whatever is going to be the aftermath of this! RUNNING TO THE ROPES AND GOING FOR THE REX EFFECT! HE’S GOING FOR THE REX EFFECT ONE MORE TIME TO FINISH OFF THIS MATCH!
James Peters: BUT CAMERON TURNS IT AROUND INTO BREAKING BARRIERS!
Persephone: … :comeagain:
Rich Russillo: CAMERON CATCHES REX INTO THE ARGENTINE BACKBREAKER COUNTERING THE FLOAT OVER! WHAT A MOVE! WHAT A MOVE! CAMERON QUICKLY HOOKUNG THE LEG AND GOING FOR THE PIN! COULD THIS SPELL THE END OF THE MATCH RIGHT HERE?!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
…
…
…
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘ULTRANUMB’ (Exterminated Remix) once more plays up to the thunderous cheers of the hometown crowd as Cameron slouches down to the canvas. Fighting through thick and thin to get the victory, it takes her a little bit to recuperate as the ref slowly begins to help her back up to her feet. She’s clearly emotional because of the circumstances of her victory as the ref raises her hand high in the air. With the adrenaline coursing through her veins, Cameron manages to limp on her own two feet as she climbs up to the top rope and puts her hand on her heart. Before pointing around at the boisterous Los Angeles crowd)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen here is your winner… CAMERON ELLA AVA!!!!!!!!!!!!
James Peters: Wow, I am completely in awe. We just saw two titans of the industry do battle in one hell of a match. Both of them clashing in a spectacle to behold, an iron man of a match if I do say so myself. When I say that they gave it their all for this match, that is a huge understatement. Both of them were looking to get a victory under their notch in their last match of Season 14 and they were going to stop at absolutely nothing to do just that.
Persephone: …
Rich Russillo: But in the end only one could come out of the smoke standing tall, they couldn’t really meet in the middle in that regard. And the one that fought through all the trials and tribulations, is none other than Cameron Ella Ava herself. Solidifying herself as one of the best and showing exactly why she’s just that. At Pain For Pride in her hometown, the one thing that Cameron wanted was to prove herself against the best on the grandest stage. And when someone answered that call, Cameron delivered. Congratulations to Cameron on her victory here tonight! I repeat the same sentiments as Rich does, what a match.
(The camera pans over to see Rex McAllister seated on the barricade. He’s nursing his wounds and is clearly in a lot of pain, but one thing that is plastered onto his face is a light smile as he looks at Cameron’s celebration inside the ring. Before Cameron leaves, she simply nods to Rex on the outside before leaving through the ropes and making her way up the ramp. She smiles as the last shot seen is her standing at the middle of the ramp, spreading her arms out as pyro goes off behind her, before Pain For Pride fades away from ringside)
(The camera opens backstage following behind Lisa Wren walking the hallways of the arena as she approaches a corner she bumps into none other than the manager of The Visual Prophet, Dr. Angelo D’Angelo. Immediately it looks like stars in his eyes realizing who he’s bumped into)
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: Lisa! I can’t believe it! One of the few people in here I respect obviously because everywhere else I turn around in this company is just snow roach after snow roach! It’s not too often you see a face that isn’t one of them. A face I can relate to, someone that understands me. Someone that doesn’t have the IKEA furniture face as white as a brand new pair of Air Force Ones. Speak to me! :ohlawd:
Lisa Wren: I know what you mean king! These walkie chalkies are plastered everywhere in this evil company, I bet they are planning another way to oppress us as we speak. Another way to hold us down and just be used for their own entertainment! Handed opportunity after opportunity and for what? These unseasoned humans are just that, unseasoned! But soon I’ll be the one to usher in change. I mean look at all the headlining matches, if it wasn’t for Malcolm Jones then we would have no melanated elitist headlining this show at all just a bunch of Ice Apes running amuck, and that’s why I have so much respect for you Angelo.. you try to make everyone see what we see but they just don’t get it! They’ll never get it!
(Dr. Angelo D’Angelo looks very intrigued by what she is saying but then he suddenly remembers Lisa’s involvement with Kensi as the look of intrigue and excitement becomes a look of worrisome)
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: Yes, yes indeed however Lisa, what about your association with one of the evil cacazoids of them all? Kensi? Don’t you remember her past? We can never forget Kenazi Cac-hound! All this phony phoniness is see through. K-CAC IS A SERPENT! Lisa, she is putting on a facade, she doesn’t like you. Lisa do you understand that she is using you for her own personal agenda because she wants you to believe that you have a friend in her but the minute you turn her back on her she will do what every Cracker Barrel broad has done to us once we turned our back on them and that’s stab us in it! Kitchen knife right to the spine. She is using you for her own advantage Lisa and you have to see that before it’s too late.
Lisa Wren: Please Angelo, Stripperela is married to a brown man now and apparently she’s changed her ways of thinking and she is no longer that evil person any of us remember.
(Lisa does roll her eyes a bit at this, obviously knowing she still doesn’t fully trust Kensi. Angelo gives his precious chocolate queen a concerned look, just really wanting her to be careful.)
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: I don’t know Lisa, I’d be cautious if I was you. I’d tread lightly with these snow leopards lurking. You know, the devil is always at work for those Yakubian Anglo Saxons and you need to be more careful around that blue eyed serpent. She thinks we’re just going to forget and forgive her for her past because she’s married to a brown man now?!!? She think this is? The forgiveness factory? :dame: I’m tryna show you the larger picture, Lisa. I’m just trying to get you to understand because I care Lisa, I care about you and we have to stick together because all it takes is a LITTLE 🤏🏿 white brainwash to activate and let the man win and we can no longer be ostracized for the color of our skin. You gotta fight the urge of having that KEWN CHIP activated. It can ruin your life if you let L-CAC activate your KEWN CHIP! They have been trying to befriend us and use us as their excuse for not being racist by bringing up the fact they have a black friend or even a fiancé of color in her case to hide the ugly truth about them! REMEMBER JAKE SMITH HAD A BLACK WIFE?! Me and Shaun King have diligently been trying to find that sister for years! I’m pretty sure he had her killed after he used her to prove he not only was straight WHICH JAKE SMITH IS NOT…but also not racist! These devils think it’s a game! Are we really going to forgive Kensi for the months she thought it was funny to confuse a brother like Sosa with Bronson? She thought it was entertaining Lisa! Now one day she wakes up and all the sudden she’s Jane Elliot? No way! Did you forget? This is what I mean Lisa all it takes is just a LITTLE 🤏🏿 white brainwash and now the KEWN CHIP is turned on and she’ll have you right where she wants you. Do you understand that Lisa?
Lisa Wren: Trust me Angelo I know what I am doing here. I would never be so naive to think such things she is an ally out of convenience right now nothing more and nothing le-
(Suddenly Lisa is cut off by none other than Kensi herself as a look of shock and fear even comes across the face of Dr.Angelo)
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: A Mayo Mutant :scusthov: Where is my Karen repellent?!? Let me guess though Kensi, you just got finished filibustering snd protesting repertaions for African Americans who are descendants of slavery? White supremacy shell fish! Where daddy Trump at?! He’s probably trying to get you to cause another incident like you people did at the Capitol building. What’s the next target huh? Gone ruin FREAK NIK?! Is this why you’ve been using Lisa to recruit her?!? All that African ass makes you sick don’t it?
(Kensi rolls her eyes for once again being reminded of her past knowing she’s been doing everything to prove she’s a changed woman. She sighs.)
Kensi: I am not going to continue harping on my past, I am trying to work on my future. I am trying to become a better person and I don’t need to be reminded of my past 24/7. I was ignorant then but I have changed but I am not going to try and force everyone to believe it if they don’t want to. I mean if I still was that same person don’t you think I would’ve done something to Lisa already? Exactly but that’s not why I came over here in the first place. Lisa, Fight Grid wants us to do an interview for 24/7 so we should probably get going.
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: Whoa, that sounded awfully demanding Kensi what year do you think this is? Juneteenth was last week and slavery is over! Do you still believe Lisa is just supposed to jump at the snap of your fingers? Are you not aware of what last Saturday was? How dare you! This is what I mean Lisa, these Yakubian devils don’t really love us! She is doing everything in her power to prove she’s “Changed” and now she’s even trying to get the media to force this narrative of change for her by having you two side by side being interviewed! She and those people behind the camera are trying to activate the chip Lisa! Think Lisa! DONT LET THEM ACTIVATE THAT COOOOOON CHIP! Only chips we eat are potato chips! And you Kensi…no I don’t think you would’ve done something to her already, why? Because it’s the biggest show of them all and you have waited for this exact moment to do that and show your true colors but it’s okay because you haven’t fooled me! Once a privileged primate, always a privileged primate! That’s why I hope Lisa is smart enough to realize what you are really trying to do here, you people always have some secret agenda. I guarantee even if Lisa does win you’ll find a way to try and take credit for it just like you people always do to us!
(Kensi who is just absolutely exhausted at this point and clearly getting irritated tries to ignore Dr. Angelo and get Lisa to come to the interview)
Kensi: Lisa, I’d do it myself but we’re a team and they’re asking for both of us. I am not demanding you to do anything, it’s just what they’re asking for.
Lisa Wren: I understand and thank you for your concern Dr. Angelo but I think I’ll be fine and I’ll go do this interview with Kensi for Fight Grid. Thank you for all of those kind words though and I’m sure we’ll see one another again soon.
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: Okay I hope you’re right about this Lisa. Remember it just takes a littl-
(Before Angelo can finish his sentence the two walk away you can see that he is worried and fearful that Lisa will end up on the real darkside that is the Yakubian devils he continues to look on in doubt as the camera fades elsewhere)
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: THEY TRYNA ACTIVATE THAT CHIP!!!!
Dr. Angelo D’Angelo: ONLY CHIPS WE ROCKING WITH IS PRINGLES! PRAISE BLACK JESUS AND SMITE WHOEVER THINKS THAT BROTHER WASN’T BLACK!!!
(Dr. Angelo continues shouting to himself, and in the process the camera begins to fade away from the area)
(The camera cuts to the next match graphic)
(The camera fades to the ring and Gina Romano and the introductions to the next match…)
Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!
(BxMxC by BABYMETAL starts to play throughout the arena as the crowd blows up in cheers. He comes out wearing the colors of the Golden Knights Hockey Team. He stands at the entranceway for a moment, raising his arms as the pyro goes off, he then points to the fans before heading to the ring.)
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST FROM LAS VEGAS, NV.! WEIGHING IN AT 202 POUNDS! HE IS “THE STRAIGHT SHOOTER’ JACK RIPLEY!!!!!!!!!!!
Deadprez: Here is Jack Ripley, the man who has had a hell of a season! He became the Answers World Champion pinning Jamie O’Hara, and while he may have lost the title to Kassidy Heart, Jack Ripley has shown just how determined he is, one of the best in thew profession today.
Eve: He really is and Jack Ripley is now ready to conquer a man who is considered a God in that ring, for weeks we have seen this build and the history between these two, but Jack Ripley has more than proven he can carry the torch of any brand and will be at the top of it again.
Gavin Kirkland: Looking in the best shape of his life, and while this is a sausage fest it will be one hell of a match, I know it.
(Jack high fives fans, then slides into the ring, climbing the second turnbuckle and raising his arm high as the crowd cheers, he drops down as his music fades and is replaced with “Paint It Black” by Hidden Citizens. Slowly Theron Nikolas walks out in his all black and royal blue wrestling gear standing at the top of the rampway to a chorus of boos, some cheers.)
Gina Romano: AND HIS OPPONENT HAILS FROM EDMONTON, ONTARIO! WEIGHING IN AT 224 POUNDS…. HE IS “THE GOD EMPEROR” THERON NIKOLAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Theron slowly makes his way down the ramp staring daggers at Ripley as a set of raining fireworks curtain shower the background while he walks to the ring.)
Deadprez: One of the most dangerous men in the sport and one of the best, Jack Ripley knows who he is going up against, but does he know what he is going up against? That will be the question as Theron has been looking for some appreciation from the Showdown roster and after his return at Grand Rampage, this man has been unstoppable.
Eve: That is the scariest part to all of this Prez, he is machine and before he left, Theron Nikolas was the guy you didn’t want to see as your opponent, he has already reestablished himself as that and is looking for some respect, will he get it from Jack Ripley tonight? Will he get the “Thanks” he is looking for? We will see.
Gavin Kirkland: Theron is a man’s man, he is looking to put Jack Ripley down for good, Jack better be ready. He needs like a gorgeous manager, I’m still a little distraught over Alissa last night.
Eve: Get over it.
(Theron makes it to the ring, standing right in the middle of it, looking around, before he slowly takes off the trench coat, turning to face Jack Ripely as both men are ready and checked by the referee. He then signals for the bell….)
(DING!!!!!!!!!!! DING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
(As the bell rings both competitors stand face to face with each other, nose to nose in the middle of the ring, what they are saying cannot be heard but Theron steps back and spreads his arms as if inviting Jack Ripley to hit him. Jack steps back some before he throws a right cross hitting Theron, he answers back with one of his own, as they start to trade blow after blow before Nikolas kicks him in the gut, whipping him into the ropes…)
Deadprez: Nikolas with he advantage already he goes for a clothesline, Jack ducks, springs off the ropes, FLYING BODYPRESS but can’t hold him down for a one count, both men up and Jack with an arm drag, Nikolas back up to his feet into another arm drag! Jack is fast paced right now as Theron tries to grab him and he is met with a hip toss, to the ropes…. DROPKICK AND THERON FLIES OVER THE TOP ROPE AND TO THE FLOOR!
Eve: Jack Ripley knew that he needed to start his quickly against a man like Theron Nikolas who is all so dangerous! Theron is already back on his feet and look at Jack Ripley!
(Ripley sits on the second rope inviting Theron Nikolas back into the ring as the crowd cheers.)
Eve: He better be careful though, we have seen what Theron is capable of doing, he isn’t one of the greats in the EAW for playing nice. The referee is starting the count, Theron is taking his time and not a bad strategy really, considering the pace of the match.
Gavin Kirkland: He’s a real man, and real men need their space, though this is maybe a little too manly for me. Jack Ripley looks in tremendous shape, I will give him that, he looks swole. They need to do something quick so I can call the action, I’m admiring Jack’s abs.
(As the referee starts the count, Theron wastes no time rolling back into the ring, Jack is already on top of him, kicking at Theron who rolls back to the outside, but this time Jack Ripley is in hot pursuit!)
Deadprez: Jack Ripley making chase and Theron is running away from him, Jack turns but Theron makes the stop using the momentum of Jack, BACK BODY DROP ON THE FLOOR! THAT CAME OUT OF NOWHERE! The referee isn’t even make the count! He is checking on Jack who landed hard, but now Theron is stomping on him! He picks up Jack and rolls him into the ring and Theron waits after a warning by the referee!
Eve: Like a predator to the prey and this is the opening moments of the match, Nikolas is not looking to have a classic here, he wants to embarrass and humiliate Jack Ripley! Jack is back up… and walks into the Spinning Uranage sideslam! Theron is not going for a cover, look at the disgust in his face! He wants to punish Jack! Theron is choking Jack with his boot! The referee quickly is there to count!
1!
2!
3!
4!
(Theron breaks the count right at five to prevent disqualification.)
Eve: Theron knows he has to keep Jack Ripley down and grounded, his quickness may be too much for Nikolas who has returned to the EAW with a vengeance. Jack is up to his knees, Theron grabs him by the head and neck, up to his feet, Jack with a forearm! And another! Theron is reeling, he wasn’t expecting this from Jack!
Gavin Kirkland: He is putting those abs to work! Irish Whip by Jack Ripley, Theron bounces back with a clothesline, NO! Neck breaker by Jack after ducking the clothesline! Theron is down, but he is not going for the cover! He climbs to the second turnbuckle, perched up as Theron gets up, DOPUBLE AXE HANDLE ON THE TOP OF THERON’S HEAD! Jack runs against the ropes, SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT FOR THE COVER! What grace from Jack Ripley!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Deadprez: Theron Nikolas kicks out after barely a two count! Jack trying to sneak in the back door knowing that wasn’t going to do it. A few fists by Jack to keep him down, picking up Theron by the hair, he lays in a few more forearms, stifling Theron, whipping him into the turnbuckle, Jack charges in, Theron with a stiff kick right to the grill dawg! Jack stumbles back and Theron grabs him, throwing Jack RIGHT INTO THE STEEL POST! THE SMACK OF HIS FLESH HITTING THAT HARD ECHOED HERE IN LOS ANGELES!
(Jack falls back to the mats holding his shoulder, obviously hurt. Theron hops on the second rope, he flies off with a knee to Jack’s upper arm and shoulder.)
Eve: Theron Nikolas has found a spot and he is working on it, Jack Ripley went hard into the steel post with his right shoulder, he is obviously hurt, and Theron is taking full advantage of it right now! Theron lifts Jack up, front face lock right into a Stalling suplex! Theron sitting up with a smirk on his face, he is slowly taking Jack Ripley apart and since he returned at Grand Rampage, Theron has been at the top of his game on Showdown. He knows what a win over Jack would be, a man who won the World Championship at Road to Redemption. Theron grabs the arm, wrenched it back, locking into a reverse arm bar, driving the knee into the shoulder pressing back! Jack is screaming in pain!
Gavin Kirkland: The arm is not supposed to bend that way….
Deadprez: It is not, and Theron is looking to rip it right out of it it’s socket! Theron is pulling back, early in this match he wants to take away the use of the arm and that is a lot of the offense for Jack, Theron is merciless, he wants to make a statement, screaming at the referee….
Theron Nikolas: (Off Mic) ASK HIM! ASK HIM REFEREE!!!!
Referee: (Off Mic) HOW ABOUT IT JACK!? IS THIS IT!?
(Jack Ripley shakes his head, screaming…)
Jack Ripley: (Off Mic) NO!!!!!
(Jack Ripley slams his hands on the mat, screaming no! he tries to reach toward the ropes, but Theron continues to press back.)
Eve: Jack Ripley is already in big trouble, but look at the fight in Jack, he is reaching for the ropes, but Theron is relentless, but Jack is fighting, and he is inching closer, and closer….
(Jack reaches the ropes as the crowd cheers. The referee makes the count for the break!)
1!
2!

(Theron Nikolas breaks the hold!)
Deadprez: Theron is not allowing Jack to recover; he drags him from the ropes trying to hook the arm back up, but NO! SMALL PACKAGE BY RIPLEY!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THR….
Deadprez: KICK OUT BY THERON! He is quickly up and charges Jack, unloading with kicks and keeping him down but Jack trips him up! Jack gets on top of Theron hitting him with lefts, his right arm is too hurt right now, they are brawling on the mat! Theron flips him over, but Jack kicks him off! Theron goes charging in, DAYLIGHT SLAYING TIME ON NIKOLAS! JACK RIPLEY WITH THAT RUNNING KNEE TO THERON’S HEAD WHEN HE WAS CHARGING IN! RIPLEY HAS FINALLY STARTED TO TURN THE TIDE!
Gavin Kirkland: The motion of Theron running full force into that knee got him. I can’t really talk much about these two dudes outside of wrestling and it sucks, we need some more ladies matches!
Eve: Of course, we do. Jack Ripley is trying to get some feeling back in his arm, grabbing Theron as he slowly gets up into a TORNADO DDT! HE LANDED ALL OF THAT BUT IS STILL NOT GOING FOR A COVER! Jack Ripley instead is climbing the ropes; he may have Theron right where he wants him! Jack is up….. KNEES TO THE FACE! NO! THERON GETS OUT OF THE WAY AND JACK LANDS HARD ON HIS KNEES! HE IS UP AND THERON SLOWLY IS BACK UP…. BATTLE FURY! THERON NIKOLAS IS ASSAULTING JACK RIPLEY AND HE FINISHES IT WITH A BURNING LARIAT!
Gavin Kirkland: That made me hurt! He goes for the cover!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THREE……………….
Gavin Kirkland: It’s the abs, Jack Ripley kicks out!
Deadprez: Theron doesn’t look surprised, he is not wasting any time with Ripley, getting him up, ramming his face into the turnbuckle before picking him up on his back in a fireman’s carry, he is climbing the ropes, what is Theron doing!? HE GORILLA SLAMS RIPLEY ON THE STEEL POST! JACK WAS FOLDED IN HALF DAWG!
(Jack crumbles to the floor from the top turnbuckle and takes a nasty fall on his bad shoulder. The crowd ohh’s as Nikolas falls to the canvas trying to catch his breath. The referee looks down and starts to make the count.)
Referee: 1……2……3…….4…….
(Jack starts to try and push himself up.)
Referee: 5……6……7…..
(Getting to the apron, reaching up Jack tries to pull himself up.)
Referee: 8……..9…….
(Jack rolls in right before the referee counts 10!)
Eve: Jack Ripley made it back in the ring and Theron is livid! He grabs Jack whipping him against the turnbuckle, NO! Jack reverses, Theron runs hard chest first into the turnbuckles stumbling right into a GERMAN SUPLEX!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THRE….
Eve: Kick out by Theron! Jack is hurt, in a lot of pain but still staying in this! He grabs Theron, SNAP SUPLEX BY JACK! Give him credit, he has adjusted, using his left arm to perform the move, Theron really did a number on him and is slowing down, he gets right back up as Theron is slow to his feet, Jack Ripley is grabbing him from behind again, an elbow to the head, and another, Theron fighting for his existence right now! Jack let’s go, he turns right into TOUCH OF HEROINE! JACK RIPLEY WAS ALMOST DECAPITATED! THERON DROPS ON JACK FOR THE COVER!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THREE………………
Deadprez: Jack gets a shoulder up and Theron is not happy! With that whiplash and how hard he hit him, I thought that was it! Theron though is gabbing Jack by the arm, dragging him into the corner!
(Theron slides out of the ring, wraps Jacks arm and shoulder around the ring post…..)
Deadprez: CODE RED ARM BAR! AROUND THE RING POST! THERON IS NOW TEARING AT THE VERY LIGAMENTS AND FIBERS TO THE ARM OF JACK RIPLEY! THE REFEREE IS OUTSIDE TRYING TO BREAK THIS UP!
Referee: (Off Mic) STOP THIS NOW OR I WILL DISQUALIFY YOU!
Theron Nikolas: (Off Mic) I AM THE REASON JACK RIPLEY IS EVEN A NAME! I’M NOT LETTING GO UNTIL HE THANKS ME!
Referee: (Off Mic) THAT’S IT! I’M COUNTING!
1!
2!
3!
4!
(Theron breaks the hold and walks right up to the referee as they stand face to face.)
Eve: Theron is out of control! He is trying his best to end Jack Ripley, this isn’t even about gaining respect anymore, this is about destroying this man’s career! The referee and Theron are face to face, no one is budging but Jack looks like he is trying to recover, Theron slides back into the ring, grabbing Jack, picking him up, Jack lands behind Theron, DOUBLE KNEE BACKBREAKER AND THE RESILIENCY OF JACK RIPLEY IS SHOWING AND WHY HE WAS A FORMER ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION! JACK WITH THE QUICK COVER!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THRE…
Gavin Kirkland: Theron kicks out! He doesn’t look happy as Jack is getting back up, he is a fighter but even with those muscles, how much can this dude take!? Theron has systematically torn him down and Jack can barely get any offense in! Jack is back up, Theron holding his back in pain, Jack with an Enzuigiri, NO! HE MISSES! LANDING HARD FACE AND CHEST FIRST! THERON GRABS HIS ARMS… CURB STOMP! I think that’s it.
Deadprez: Theron is not going for a cover, instead he wants to punish him more and more! Jack can barely stand and while he has fought, bruh, there is a time to say that is enough! Theron has Jack up, over his shoulder, he runs into the turnbuckle for a Snake Eyes, Jack slips from the back, pushing Theron right into the turnbuckle, he turns and ENZINGUIRI THIS TIME CONNECTS AS THERON LOOKS WOBBLY! JACK IS UNLOADING WITH MULTIPLE KICKS! THERON CAN’T COVER HIMSELF AS JACK IS WILDIN’ ON HIM! Theron stumbles forward and JACK WITH A BELLY TO BELLY ON THERON! Neither of these men are even looking for a pinfall, instead they want to beat the hell out of one another! Jack grabs Theron by the hair, stepping back…. He goes for YOU’LL FLO….. NO! THERON WITH A MAFIA KICK THAT ALMOST TOOK HIS HEAD OFF!
Eve: These two men are testing their limits against each other and what is Theron doing!? He is taking a turnbuckle pad off while the referee checks on Jack, Theron has evil intentions in his mind, hoisting up Jack, whipping him into the ropes, NO! Jack reverses, right into Theron landing on his shoulders, LAWN DART THROW! IT CONNECTS AND THERON LANDS FACE FIRST ON THE EXPOSED STEEL! HE HAS BEEN CUT OPEN AND NOW JACK IS BACK UP SLOWLY TO THE TOP ROPE…. MOONSAULT! IT CONNECTS AND JACK RIPLEY HOOKS THE LEG FOR THE COVER!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THREE…..
Deadprez: SHOULDER UP BY NIKOLAS AND LOOKS AT JACK! HE IS IN COMPELTE AND UTTER SHOCK! Holding up three fingers to the referee but he only holds up two.
(Jack is trying to collect himself on the mat, Theron is bleeding and somewhat moving, when Jack looks out to the crowd as they start to chant his name…)
Crowd: JACK! JACK! JACK! JACK! JACK!
(He nods and gets back up to his feet, sighing a little before picking up Nikolas by the hair, setting him up…)
Deadprez: THE RIPPLE EFFECT! JACK WANTS TO END THIS NOW AFTER ABOUT 12 MINUTES OF ACTION! TRYING TO LIFT THERON OVER… NO! DIVINE SURRENDER! JACK FALLS FACE FIRST TO THE MAT! THERON IS SCREAMING! HE KNOWS THAT HE CAN HAVE JACK RIGHT HERE! THERON GOING TO THE TOP ROPE, JACK IS STILL LAID OUT….
Eve: SIX STAR FROG SPLASH!!!! THIS IS IT! THIS IS IT!!!! THERON NIKOLAS HITS IT AND HOOKS THE LEG FOR THE COVER!!!!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THREE……………..
Gavin Kirkland: JACK WITH A SHOULDER UP! HE HAD A SHOULDER UP! NOW NIKOLAS CAN’T BELIEVE IT! LOOK AT NIKOLAS! HE GRABS THE REFEREE BY THE SHIRT GETTING THREATENED TO BE DISQUALIFIED! KICK HIS ASS BRO!
Eve: Really Gavin?
Gavin Kirkland: I need women in this match, Eve.
Eve: Just call the action! Theron is beside himself! He slowly is back up to his feet, look at him, he is waiting as Jack is barely able to get back up, Nikolas is rushing him, Jack turns and Theron gets another knee to the skull! Theron is spaghetti legged, Jack runs up to him, STANDING SPANISH FLY! JACK RIPLEY USED EVERYTHING HE HAD AND WAIT!
(Jack gets up and screams as the fans cheer.)
Deadprez: Jack is getting a second win! That adrenaline rush is flowing, and he is feeling it all right now! Jack is determined to show this man that while he was gone Jack Ripley was one of the top guys here, dawg! Busting his ass and winning that gold! Nikolas is back up and rams him into the turnbuckle! HE starts shoving and ramming his shoulder repeatedly into the midsection of Nikolas the crowd is cheering with him!
Crowd: THIS IS AWESOME!!!!! THIS IS AWESOME!!!!! THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: THE MAN IS LITERALLY GOING TO SHIT HIS PANTS IF HE KEEPS THRUSTING THOSE SHOULDERS INTO HIM! LA FOOD IS NOT THE KINDEST!!!!
(Jack continues to ram his shoulder into Nikolas as the referee finally starts to break it up but Jack stops, pacing the ring before charging in like a bullet for one more shoulder thrust! The crowd roars as Jack is in control.)
Eve: This is Jack’s match to lose now! He finally found that opening and is looking to do whatever he can to put this legend and GOAT down on the grandest stage of them all! Theron Nikolas is right for the picking and Jack lifts up Theron! He is climbing the top rope with Theron!
Deadprez: WHAT IN THE HELL ARE THEY DOING!?
Gavin Kirkland: THAT IS THE HIGH RENT DISTRICT! JACK LOOKS LIKE HE IS TRYING TO PILEDRIVE THERON OFF THE TOP ROPE! IF HE GETS THIS! THERON IS DEAD!
Deadprez: JACK RIPLEY IS DOING JUST THAT! HE IS TRYING TO LIFT THERON FOR THE TOP ROPE PILEDRIVER! WE HAVE NEVER SEEN JACK TRY SOMETHING LIKE THIS! THIS IS HOW MUCH THIS MATCH MEANS TO HIM! JACK IS GOING TO LIFT UP THERON! HE HAS HIM UP!!!!!
Crowd: :lupe:
Eve: :lupe:
Gavin Kirkland: :lupe:
(Backstage everyone on the monitor watching Including Steroid Dawg, Jennipurr and Calibos :lupe:)
Deadprez: JACK IS GOING FOR THE PILEDRIVER….. NO! THERON NIKOLAS RAISED HIS HEAD HARD HITTING JACK BETWEEN THE LEGS AND THE REFEREE DIDN’T CATCH THAT! NOW THERON HOISTS JACK UPSIDOWN……. WHAT…… HE JUMPS! TOMBSTONE PILEDRIVER OFF THE TOP ROPE ON JACK RIPLEY AND HE CONNECTS! THERON NIKOLAS JUST KILLED JACK RIPLEY!
Crowd: :damn: HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Eve: HE’S DEAD!
Gavin Kirkland: NOOOOOO! JACK RIP-ley!
Deadprez: THERON NIKOLAS GOES FOR THE COVER AND STICK A FORK IN JACK HE IS DONE!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: THERON NIKOLAS WINS!!!
Referee: (Off Mic) NOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(The referee points to the ropes and Jack Ripley had his foot under it as the referee hit three, he is calling it off.)
Referee: (Off Mic) NO!!!!!!! THE MATCH CONTINUES!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Theron Nikolas is beside himself! He looks at the referee grabbing him by the collar and pushing him to the corner.)
Theron Nikolas: (Off Mic) THAT WAS A THREE COUNT!
Referee: (Off Mic) HIS FOOT WAS UNDER THE ROPE! I’M NOT BLIND THIS TIME! HIS FOOT WAS UNDER THE ROPE AND THIS MATCH CONTINUES!
(Theron screams in anger, turning to Jack who is still down.)
Deadprez: WE THOUGHT THE MATCH WAS OVER! IT WAS NOT! JACK RIPLEY WAS ABLE TO GET HIS FOOT UNDER THE ROPES, MAYBE THAT IS THE WAY HE LANDED! WE DON’T KNOW BUT THE REFEREE SAW IT AND CONTINUED THE MATCH! THERON GOES AFTER RIPLEY, HE PICKS HIM UP, WHIPPING HIM INTO THE ROPES…. THE BURNING HAMMER! HE IS GOING TO FINISH THIS…..
Eve: CRUCIFIX PIN BY JACK RIPLEY! HOW THE HELL IS HE STILL ALIVE!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THREE…..
Eve: Kick out by Theron! Nikolas is back up and he grabs a hurt Jack Ripley, GUTWRENCH POWERBOMB! THERON IS RUTHLESS!
(Theron wipes the blood from his face and wipes it on Jack’s chest, pacing the ring before climbing back up to the top rope. Perched up there as the camera flashes pepper the arena.)
Gavin Kirkland: THERON NIKOLAS IS READY TO FLY AGAIN AND SIX STAR FROG SPLASH A SECOND TIME AND …. IT DOESN’T CONNECT! JACK RIPLEY IS ABLE TO GET THE KNEES UP! THERON LANDED HARD ON HIS ABDOMEN AND THE WIND WAS KNOCKED OUT OF HIM!
Eve: Jack is really hurt, he can barely get up, as Theron is trying to catch his breath, Jack is using the ropes, as the crowd is cheering wildly!
Crowd: THIS IS WRESTLING!!!!!!! THIS IS WRESTLING!!!!!! THIS IS WRESTLING!!!!!
Eve: Theron is back up, Jack runs against the ropes, THERON SPEARS JACK!!! HE SPEARS JACK IN A MOCKING GESTURE TO MR. DEDEDE! JACK IS DOWN AND THERON QUICKLY GRABS JACK…. GOD’S REQUIEM!!!!!! THAT HAS TO BE IT! IT CONNECTS!!!!!
Deadprez: WHAT AN INCREDIBLE MATCH JACK RIPLEY GAVE US BUT THIS IS IT! THERON WITH THE COVER!!!!
OOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TTTWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTHHHHHRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
…….
…….
…….
Gavin Kirkland: HOW DID JACK RIPLEY GET A SHOULDER UP! JACK IS STILL IN THIS MATCH AND LOOK AT THERON NIKOLAS! HE IS ENRAGED!
(Theron with his eyes widened almost in a psychotic trance wondering what the hell is going on. Can he pin Jack Ripley, or does he have to kill him? Theron gets back up huffing and puffing, grabbing Jack Ripley.)
Deadprez: GIVE JACK ALL THE CREDIT! THE HEART OF THIS MAN AS HE SHOWED AT ROAD TO REDEMPTION, KING OF ELITE AND UNDER SIEGE! THIS IS PAIN FOR PRIDE AND THESE ARE THE PERFORMANCES WE REMEMBER!
Crowd: JACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! JACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! JACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Eve: THERON IS PATTING HIS ELBOW! HE IS LOOKING FOR THE KNIFE’S EDGE! WAITING FOR JACK TO GET BACK UP! RIPLEY DOES AND THERON COMES IN….. NO!!!!! HE MISSES WITH THE ELBOW! TURNS AROUND RIGHT INTO YOU’LL FLOAT TOO!!!!!!!
Deadprez: YOU’LL FLOAT TOO AND JACK RIPLEY CONNECTED WITH ALL OF THAT FOR THE COVER! THIS IS IT!!!!

Eve: THERON NIKOLAS KICKED OUT OF JACK RIPLEY’S SECOND FINISHER!? THERON NIKOLAS STILL SHOWING HOW TOUGH HE IS AND RIPLEY IS GOING TO THE TOP ROPE! HE IS CLIMBING THE TOP ROPE!!!!
Deadprez: THIS IS WHAT PAIN FOR PRIDE IS ALL ABOUT AND JACK IS UP TO THE TOP ROPE! LOOK AT ALL THE CAMERA FLASHES! BELIEVE IT OR NOT! HE JUST LANDED ON THERON NIKOLAS WITH BELIEVE IT OR NOT! HE GOES FOR THE…..no….. what is he doing!?
(Jack Ripley stands up and sees that Theron is still moving, he doesn’t go for the pin, instead he stands there as Nikolas grabs his foot, then slowly uses it to pick himself up as Jack’s fists begin to clench, barely able to stand himself. Theron grabs Jack and gets to his feet, spaghetti legged as Jack stares at him.)
Gavin Kirkland: What the hell is going on here….. they are going to kiss!!!!
Eve: Shut up Gavin! I think that after all the disdain and hatred these two men have shown themselves that this is their sign of respect or their last stand! Look at Theron bleeding….. what is he saying….
(Theron barely stands screams……)
Theron Nikolas: (Off Mic): THANK ME!!!!!!!!!!!
Jack Ripley: (Off Mic) …… NO.
Deadprez: YOU’LL FLOAT TOO FOR A SECOND TIME! JACK RIPLEY WITH ANOTHER YOU’LL FLOAT TOO! JACK RIPLEY DROPS ON NIKOLAS NOT ABLE TO STAND ANYMORE AS THE REFEREE MAKES THE COUNT!!!!!

(DING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Gina Romano: THE WINNER OF THE MATCH….. JACK RIPLEY!!!!!!!!!!!!
(BxMxC by BABYMETAL starts to play throughout the arena as the fans give a standing ovation to these two competitors. Jack Ripley lies on top of Nikolas not even moving as the referee signals for medical attention for both men as they quickly rush the ring.)
Deadprez: WHAT A WAR! These two men put everything on the line for respect and Theron Nikolas proved while he may have lost that he is Mr. Pain for Pride with the performance he had tonight not even skipping a beat.
Gavin Kirkland: I thought they were going to kiss, but I have to agree, it may not have been some beautiful, silky skinned tanned women especially blondes but this was one hell of a match.
Eve: It was, this is why Pain for Pride is the MECCA of professional wrestling. Theron thought he had Jack, we all did with that nasty tombstone off the top rope, but the referee saw the foot under the ropes, the match kept going and it took everything in the arsenal of Jack Ripley to defeat Theron Nikolas.
(Jack finally stirs and sits up while the EMT’s check on both wrestlers. There are tears of pain and pride in the eyes of Jack as the referee raises his arm in victory and the crowd roars in appreciation to both men and the hell they went through. He is finally helped up to his feet by the referee as Theron stirs, trying to refuse help.)
Deadprez: Another amazing match by Showdown and we are having a hell of an FPV, aren’t we!?
Eve: We sure are! Both of these men will leave different here tonight, again an incredible match between two of the best.
Gavin Kirkland: That blonde paramedic is cute.
Eve: Shut up Gavin.
(Jack is being helped up as he points to the fans who cheer on, while Nikolas is still being check on, fighting with the paramedics.)
(Fades to a Commercial for the NEW BED FOOT RISER CUSHION for all the women that date Jake Smith and don’t have to worry about making out with the Pillow due to his shortness. If you order now, they will send you a second one for the back seat of the car!)
(Pain For Pride fades to a distraught Ronan Malosi walking down the halls backstage with Alissa Brady following up behind him, who hangs onto his arm but Showdown’s “biggest star” :troll: is not too happy about her presence.)
(Ronan’s trying his best to hide the injuries from last night as he’s got one of his fancy suits on but his lack of hair isn’t helping him out in this matter as he’s full of scars on his head, along with a few bandages. Meanwhile, Alissa Brady doesn’t seem to care too much about hiding hers, as she’s wearing a more fancy outfit that shows a lot of skin. the amount of skin showing on Alissa there’s also the scars on her from the Chained Fury II war from last night, with a big bandage on her stomach standing out, which we can only guess is from the dive she took off the cage on her boyfriend.)
Alissa Brady: So, babe, look, I know things didn’t go well against Ryan Wilson, but I want to make things up to you. So I’m offering to just… go to a fancy restaurant, I’ll pay for everything you don’t have to worry.
Ronan Malosi: N- no. I do not want to eat at any sort of fancy restaurants… Be- bec- beca-
Alissa Brady: Because?
Ronan Malosi: Y- yes. Th- than- thank you. That’s what I was try- trying to s- say. Be- because we both know I coo- cook the be- best st- steak in the whole wo- world, and everyw- everywhere else is fuck- fucking filthy. They don’t compare to what I co- cook.
Alissa Brady: Well, you indeed have the best steak in the world. 🤤 Just like you have the best di–
Ronan Malosi: I kn- know. Bu- but that’s not what matt- matters now!! I got embarrassed at Pain For Prid- Pride again!! I thought it wouldn’t get wor- worse than being pissed on but-
???: Do you guys mind?
Ronan Malosi: Y- yes we fuck- fucking do!!
???: Oh…
Alissa Brady: Nah, nah, it’s fine!! Wassup??
(Kyra Phillips walks into the camera frame with a bright smile on his face, but she’s the only one smiling. :roman:)
Kyra Phillips: Well… I just wanted to get a few words out of you two following the brutality that was Chained Fury II.
Ronan Malosi: :noah: !!!
Kyra Phillips: Don’t worry, it won’t take too long. You were *very* talkative during the week, a few more minutes of your time couldn’t hurt.
Ronan Malosi: :will: What did I do wrong in my career to get bullied by a fucking interviewer?
Kyra Phillips: 😀
(Alissa lets out a little laugh but Ronan clearly does not like this as he pretends to warm up his arms even though he doesn’t have to wrestle and happens to “accidentally” hit his girlfriend.)
Ronan Malosi: /
Kyra Phillips: So..!!! How have you been recovering in the past 24 hours?
Ronan Malosi: Bitch are you fucking blind CAN YOU NOT SEE THE SCARS I HAVE???
Kyra Phillips: Oh… true. :mjgrin: They seem to stop your head from shining like it usually does. :wow:
Ronan Malosi: Excuse me??
Kyra Phillips: Nothing. 😅
Ronan Malosi: Look, I have a shit ton of scars all on my head but I also have a ton on my perfectly built body with a 12-pack–
Kyra Phillips: :dahell: Is that even possible???
Ronan Malosi: Everything is possible if your name is R-M which stands for Ronan Malosi! I would show off my abs right now but I do not want to because I bought this suit recently and I wanted to try it out!! It cost me half a million dollars, by the way. :wow:
Alissa Brady: Ohhhh, so that’s why your steak hasn’t been the best recently!! Instead of getting proper meat and seasoning, you got it cheap and garbage so you could afford that suit. Your priorities. :wow:
Ronan Malosi: Welp, I thought you wouldn’t notice.
Kyra Phillips: Okay, well moving on, how do you feel about your former partner winning his first championship after being in EAW for 4 years?
Ronan Malosi: Imagine taking FOUR YEARS to win a title for newbies. :mjlol:
Kyra Phillips: You’ve been in EAW for 2 years and still competed for it though…
Ronan Malosi: THIS AIN’T ABOUT ME DAMN IT!!
Alissa Brady: Wait… how come you can talk properly now??? Were you faking the severity of your injuries so I would keep on pleasing you?!?!?!?
Ronan Malosi: THAT IS NOT WHAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT, WOMAN!! We were talking about Ryan Wilson and what you can expect out of Ryan Wilson is for him to lose it on his first defense, and then he will go back to exactly how he was before because Ryan Wilson has never been championship material!!!!
Kyra Phillips: Bold words coming from the guy who lost exactly four championship matches in the span of two months :lupe:. Speaking of those though, how do you feel about all of those championship matches – did you learn anything from them? Will you come back better next time??
Ronan Malosi: I thought you weren’t supposed to be biased. Is today International Bully Ronan Malosi Day??? Exactly, it’s not!! And if you knew any better, you knew that I was screwed out of all of those championship matches!! First that dirty pig Bronson Daniels cheated by NOT ONLY USING HIS KANGAROO ON ME, but also by not breaking up the submission when I touched the rope. Second, that **bodaggit** Ryan Wilson cost me the match against IDOL-GUN on Voltage. It was all him, NOT ME!!! 💯
Ronan Malosi: Then the same **cockalorum** would BETRAY ME AT BATTLE OF EGYPT AND GET ME ELIMINATED FROM THE NEW BREED GAUNTLET EARLY, IN EMBARRASSING FASHION AFTER THE HUGE AMOUNT OF PROMOS I DID!! And now at Pain For Pride, my **pillock** girlfriend would cost me the New Breed Title by diving off that cage… RIGHT ON ME!!!!!!!! I had that **mumpsimus** Ryan Wilson beat but then Alissa had to jump on me, WHEN SHE KNOWS DAMN WELL THE ONLY TIME SHE CAN JUMP ON ME IS WHEN I’M IN BED WITH MY DICK OUT!!
Alissa Brady: :picard:
Kyra Phillips: So you learned nothing from those losses and don’t think anything was your fault… :roman: Well alright. But since we’re on the topic of Alissa costing you the match and since you’re obviously so sure of that being the losing factor last night… I must ask, did you think about it a bit more? Like, I don’t know, your activity promo-wise could’ve translated to your performance in the match, or maybe if you drank water like a normal human you wouldn’t have had a temper tantrum over getting sprayed with it?? Or maybe if you did all of this fair and square Alissa wouldn’t have happened to “cost” you the match–
Ronan Malosi: ALL IS FAIR IN LOVE AND WAR!! Who are you to judge my ways, you don’t even wrestle!! Shut the hell up!
Kyra Phillips: It seems to me like as a non-wrestler I know more about wrestling than you do.
Ronan Malosi: YOU’RE AN INTERVIEWER!!! STOP INSULTING ME!! None of this is funny!!
Kyra Phillips: Anyways, it seems like Chained Fury has been one of the biggest things on Showdown this past season. How do you feel about this? After all, you usually tend to hype yourself up and call yourself one of the best on the roster, but it looks like you weren’t the one to win that feud. Is this loss going to stop us from seeing Ronan Malosi at his best?
Ronan Malosi: Pffttt!! Absolutely NOT!! I’m glad Showdown has realized how big of a star I am, though. :wow: I mean, look at the Interwire Championship now getting zero attention, and it’s been that way this whole season except for when I held it, and you want to know why the Interwire Championship got all the time and attention when I held it??? BECAUSE I’M A STAR!! I MADE THAT TITLE FEEL IMPORTANT!!! I AM BETTER THAN KASSIDY, THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION, AND IF IT WASN’T FOR BRONSON CONFRONTING ME BACKSTAGE BEFORE THE MATCH, I WOULD’VE BEAT THAT WHORE!!!! But Bronson is part of the conspiracy!! Conspiracy that has held me back in all of these opportunities, conspiracy that has barely allowed me to win championships. Conspiracy which took a day off at Under Siege BUT THEN CAME RIGHT BACK!!! CONSUELA WON ON THAT ONE SHOWDOWN BECAUSE OF THE CONSPIRACY!!! THE REALM WON AT ROAD TO REDEMPTION BECAUSE OF THE CONSPIRACY!!! IDOL-GUN WON AT KING OF ELITE BECAUSE OF THE CONSPIRACY!!! BRONSON DANIELS WON AT GRAND RAMPAGE BECAUSE OF THE CONSPIRACY!!! IDOL-GUN WON ON THAT ONE VOLTAGE BECAUSE OF THE CONSPIRACY!!! ANDRE WALKER WON AT BATTLE OF EGYPT BECAUSE OF THE CONSPIRACY!!!
Ronan Malosi: AND RYAN WILSON WON LAST NIGHT BECAUSE OF THE CONSPIRACY AND MY STUPID GIRLFRIEND!!!
Alissa Brady: :skip: !!!!
Ronan Malosi: Now’s not the time to speak-
Alissa Brady: I’ve literally been trying my best the past 24 hours, I’ve been trying to help you keep your head up… I cannot believe you’re still MAD over something so STUPID!!!
Ronan Malosi: Something STUPID??? YOU COST ME THE NEW BREED CHAMPIONSHIP AGAINST RYAN FUCKING WILSON!!!
Alissa Brady: And I’ve spent all last night making it up to you!!!
Ronan Malosi: :wtf: !!! Bitch, ordering me a ROAST BEEF SANDWICH from ROOM SERVICE isn’t a fix!! NAH, WHAT YOU SHOULD’VE DONE WAS BUY ME EXPENSIVE CLOTHES, EXPENSIVE WATCHES, EXPENSIVE CARS, COOK THE AMAZING APPLEBEE’S STEAK THAT I’VE BEEN TEACHING YOU HOW TO COOK BUT YOU NEVER LEARN IT SEEM, NAH, NAH, YOU SHOULD’VE BEEN ON YOUR HANDS AND KNEES SUCKING **THIS DICK** AND BEGGING ME TO FORGIVE YOU!!
(As a woman herself, Kyra Phillips is pretty horrified at this display of misogyny from the Hot Take King. You’d think his Hot Takes don’t go farther than wrestling but it seems like he’s expanded the takes into the relationship horizon. But while horrified, Kyra also has nothing to say.)
Alissa Brady: Look, Ronan… Just–
Ronan Malosi: SHUT UP ALISSA!!! Look, Season 15 is going to be much different! While I was the face of Showdown this season, I still achieved much less than I should’ve, and that’s going to change next season, believe me. I’m not going to be a laughing stock anymore, I will be a superstar, I will be the winner that I should’ve always been. I will keep on fighting the conspiracy, I will keep on being the person a brand is built around, and I will win endless matches and championships because I’m the greatest wrestler in ALL OF EAW, and someone BETTER draft me this year!
Ronan Malosi: StarrStan, Hurricane Hawk, Captain Charisma, if none of you makes the decision to draft me, then I’ll beat you like I beat Alexis Chambers a few months ago, and she nearly died!!! I’ll keep punching down on y’all, and you’re gonna be wishing that I stop but I won’t!! Then, when all you three are unable to work I will take over EAW and DRAFT MYSELF TO EVERY BRAND, THEN CELEBRATE BY SHOWERING MYSELF IN VICTORY MILK!! Come on Alissa, we’re going to the car, where you can keep trying to make things up to me!
(Ronan grabs Alissa by the arm then starts leaving, all proud of himself with the camera following him.)
Ronan Malosi: WHAT THE FU–
(Ronan steps in something slippery and almost falls, but he manages to catch himself on a production box. Alissa helps Ronan up, and Ronan raises his boot…)
Ronan Malosi: DOG SHIT????? WHAT??? THESE ARE LITERALLY GUCCI!!! I BOUGHT THEM YESTERDAY!!! WHO THE HELL SHIT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HALLWAY???
???: Woof! Woof! Woof!!
Ronan Malosi: Steroid Dawg?!?!??!?!?!
Steroid Dawg: Woof! Woof! Woof! Woof! Woof!
(Translation: :mjlol: I got you for the second year in a row!!)
Ronan Malosi: NOT AGAIN!!! What the hell will I do now?!?!? I can’t go out with these amazing shoes, THEY’RE FULL OF SHIT!!
(Steroid Dawg keeps barking at Ronan and starts running circles around him, before running off. The last shot is of Alissa Brady staying by Ronan Malosi’s side. Ronan is absolutely fuming, thinking that Pain For Pride couldn’t get worse for him.)
(The camera fades to the next match graphic.)
(The camera fades back to ringside, and Bella Braxton is seen with a microphone in her hand.)
Bella Braxton: OUR NEXT CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!!!
(“Faneto” by Chief Keef begins to play as the lights flash in classic Philadelphia Eagles colors, and the crowd gives a mixed reaction. Our steps SOSA in an obscenely expensive leather bomber jacket with “S-A” embossed on the back. Patches all over with various references to his city and his career.)
Bella Braxton: INTRODUCING FIRST…HAILING FROM PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA…WEIGHING IN AT 191 POUNDS…HE IS THE KING OF PHILLY…BULLETPROOF SOOOOOSSAAAAAAA HENNNNNNDERSON!!!
Rich Russillo: This man is not exactly where he envisioned he’d be but nonetheless he has found his way back to Pain for Pride with a clear purpose in mind. SOSA Henderson and Chris Elite are at odds and it stems from the fact that they could not co exist and properly defeat Idol-Gun for the Unified Tag titles. SOSA and Chris both are clearly sick of the other one and it’s coming to a head tonight!
Jake Mercer: Chris Elite or Mr Elite as they call him in the bodegas, has a grudge with SOSA. Henderson or Senior Hendo as they called him on the movie sets, has a bone to pick with Elite. Jake Mercer aka Monsieur Merci as I’ve begun calling myself is excited to watch this match up!
(SOSA rushes the ring and slides under the bottom rope, and he poses briefly as he manages to remove his jacket and find a turnbuckle to begin stretching in.)
Bella Braxton: AND HIS OPPONENT!!!
(“44 Bulldog” by Pop Smoke ignites the crowd as the fans’ mixed reactions continue, and out walks Chris Elite himself. Chris has his own custom varsity jacket with “KING OF NEW YORK” on the chest and his name on the back. Fireworks explode as Chris raises one hand in the air before proceeding to talk loud and brashly to all within ear shot.)
Bella Braxton: AND HIS OPPONENT…HAILING FROM BROOKLYN, NEW YORK…HE WEIGHS IN AT 210 POUNDS…GAWD GIVEN GREATNESS…CHHHHHRISSSSS EEEEEEEEEWEELITEEEE!!
Stew-O: One of the most popular and cocky men to ever perform in EAW. So is SOSA Henderson. You’d think they would have had great chemistry yet they didn’t and now we are here.
James Peters: You can’t fake the funk, Stew. Now we have arrived at the collision course at Pain for Pride XIV!
Jake Mercer: I would have bet the house both Kings of Philly and NYC could have buried the hatchet. Instead, they now have to bury one another!
(SOSA smiles as Chris Elite stares at him right in the eyes. Elite takes his time entering the ring as he removes his jacket and finds himself in a corner.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: Two of the most decorated, respected, and gifted athletes in EAW history find themselves on opposite ends of tonight’s match up as SOSA and Chris go at it tonight!
Rich Russillo: These two Uber famous fighters attempted to form an alliance and take the Unified Tag Team Championships from Idol-Gun previously and failed in said attempt leading to the match we have here right now. Sosa is a man who has been trying to cement his legacy and Chris is a man fighting hurdle after hurdle to prove to the world that he still is a main event caliber Elitist. Chris has been away from the title picture and feels defeating SOSA tonight can place him back in that spotlight once more.
Stew-O: Both elitists can hang their hat on being gifted athletes but only one will be able to raise their hand in victory tonight as the referee stands between them and the rivals begin circling the ring.
Jake Mercer: This fight reminds me of my time in Puerto Rico when a promoter who suspiciously looked like a young TLA had two amateurs wrestle a 30 minute ladder match where a flamethrower and thumbtacks were involved.
Rich Russillo: What would anything in this match remind you of such a chaotic and hardcore bout like that?
Jake Mercer: Both combatants were wearing fake Amiri jeans!
James Peters: Wha-
Rich Russillo: Stew, get your guy.
Stew-O: Just ignore him like I do.
Rich Russillo: Anyway, Chris Elite goes to make the first move as he charges and grabs SOSA in a headlock. SOSA pushed him off easily. Chris Elite turns and throws a haymaker but SOSA ducks it quickly. SOSA goes for an open hand slap but Chris Elite ducks his attack. Chris Elite leaps for a Dropkick but SOSA blocks it with his forearms. Henderson watches as Elite lands flat on his back and leaps to drop a knee on him but Chris rolls out the way quickly. Both men are on their backs as-
Jake Mercer: DOUBLE KIP UP!
James Peters: Elite and SOSA stand as they turn to one another.
Chris Elite: (off-mic) You think you good? :tyson:
SOSA Henderson: (off-mic) Ask your mother.
Chris Elite:
Stew-O: Chris Elite rushes SOSA for a tackle but NO! SOSA leaps and MONKEY FLIPS CHRIS ELITE IN THE AIR AS-
Rich Russillo: WOAH! ELITE FLIPS IN MID AIR AND LANDS ON HIS FEET AS SOSA QUICKLY SCRAMBLES TO HIS OWN TWO! SOSA Henderson turns around and SUPERKICK BY CHRIS ELITE!
Stew-O: BLOCK! SOSA snatches Chris Elite’s foot out the air, spins him around in a 360 and SLAP RIGHT ACROSS THE CHEEK BY HENDERSON! Chris Elite turns back around and RESPONDS WITH A DISRESPECTFUL BACKHANDED SLAP OF HIS OWN! Both men lock up again but this time SOSA manages to secure a headlock on Chris Elite. Elite struggles to try and break free but SOSA locks it in even tighter as-
Jake Mercer: CHRIS ELITE LIFTS SOSA OFF HIS FEET AS HENDERSON KICKS AND KICKS OVER AND OVER IN THE AIR UNTIL HE CAN PUT HIS FEET BACK ONTO THE GROUND! Chris Elite LIFTS SOSA ONCE AGAIN AS HENDERSON CONTINUES KICKING AND USING HIS MOMENTUM TO GET HIMSELF BACK ON THE GROUND. SOSA tightens his head lock grip as CHRIS ELITE SHOVES HIM WITH ALL HIS MIGHT AND BREAKS FREE FINALLY! Chris Elite grabs SOSA by the wrist and Irish whips him into the ring corner.
Rich Russillo: LIKE A CAT SOSA USES HIS AGILITY TO RUN UP THE TURNBUCKLE, NOW ON TOP OF IT, AND LEAPS BACKWARDS AS HE LANDS BEHIND CHRIS ELITE! Elite turns and ROUNDHOUSE KICK BY SOSA HENDERSON CONNECTS AS CHRIS STAGGERS BACKWARDS! SOSA RUSHES TOWARDS CHRIS ELITE AND FOLLOWS IT UP WITH A BEAUTIFUL BICYCLE KNEE TO THE CHIN! SOSA IS FEELING IT AS HE SLIPS UNDER AND AROUND CHRIS ELITE! POSITIONED BEHIND HIS RIVAL, SOSA QUICKLY LIFTS CHRIS UP AND OFF OF HIS FEET AND PLANTS HIM ON HIS BACK WITH A PERFECTLY EXECUTED BACK SUPLEX!
James Peters: SOSA Henderson is one of the quickest athletes in all professional sports but what makes that quickness even more scary is its coupled with his technical abilities making him almost a create-a-elitist caliber wrestler. We’ve seen SOSA break down opponents with his speed and technical moveset and looks like hes just getting started as he lifts Chris Elite off the ground and has him in position. SOSA hoists Chris Elite in the air…suplex position…DELAYED VERTICAL SUPLEX DROPS CHRIS ELITE LIKE A SACK OF POTATOES AS SOSA QUICKLY POPS TO HIS FEET AND SALUTES THE CROWD! THE FANS HECKLE AND BOO AS HE SMIRKS AND LEANS OVER TO CONTINUE PUNISHING CHRIS ELITE!
Rich Russillo: SOSA raises Chris Elite off the mat as-
Stew-O: SMALL PACKAGE! CHRIS ELITE HAS THE SMALL PACKAGE RIGHT ON SOSA HENDERSON!!!!
Jake Mercer: Ayo.
Referee: ONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW-NOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: Quick kick out by SOSA but even quicker counter by Chris Elite with that small package of his.
Jake Mercer: AYO! :dame:
James Peters: Elite rolls away as does SOSA Henderson. Both men gather themselves and rise off the mat. Crowd is mixing the cheers with the boos as Chris Elite and SOSA rush one another. SOSA goes for a clothesline but it’s ducked by Chris Elite. Chris keeps sprinting as he runs to and bounces off the ring ropes. Chris charges back at SOSA who plants his feet and LEANS BACK MATRIX STYLE TO AVOID A POUNCE ATTEMPT BY CHRIS ELITE! Chris barely manages to barrel roll forward without crashing and burning and gets back to his feet as SOSA rushes the ropes now and bounces off them. SOSA leaps and grabs Chris…JUMPING DDT PLANTS CHRIS ELITE ON HIS HEAD!
Jake Mercer: That poor, poor, bald ass head. :wow:
Rich Russillo: SOSA dropped him as hard as he could with that one as he rolls over the flatbed Elite!
Stew-O: SOSA HENDERSON WITH THE LEGS HOOKED! COVER!
Referee: ONNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-NOOOOOO!!!
Stew-O: SOSA was close but Elite will not be denied as he managed to fight through the pin and kick out!
Rich Russillo: Chris Elite has been through so much in his career and is the caliber of athlete that has endured some of the most vicious attacks in pro wrestling. Dude got blown up by a Jeep and wrestled the next week for Christ’s sake!
Stew-O: As tough as they come and representing Dynasty tonight as best as he can as SOSA pulls him up off the ground and onto his feet once again. SOSA is control as he BAM! Stiff uppercut lifts Chris Elite off his feet briefly! JAB! JAB! RIGHT HOOK! The boxing combination being delivered to Chris Elite is Gervonta Davis esque.
Jake Mercer: Gold ol’ Gervonta “Tank” Davis. He got the nickname “Tank” from his previous job as a Propane tank specialist and salesmen. Yea, he used to live in Texas with his son Bobby and his wife Peggy and they used to have a-
Rich Russillo: Gervonta Davis is not Hank Hill from King of the Hill. You know little about wrestling and you know even less about boxing.
Jake Mercer: :noah:
James Peters: SOSA scoops Chris Elite up once again as-
Rich Russillo: FLOAT OVER BY CHRIS ELITE!
Stew-O: Elite manages to get behind SOSA as Elite Chris wraps his arms around Henderson and pops his hips…GERMAN SUPLEX PLANTS SOSA ON THE BACK OF HIS HEAD! SOSA is folded like an accordion!
Rich Russillo: Folded like a lawn chair!
Jake Mercer: Folded like a Motorola Razr!
James Peters: AND CHRIS ELITE BRIDGES THE SUPLEX FOR A COVER!
Referee: ONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-NOOOOOOOO!!!
Stew-O: That was a nasty German suplex but it was not nasty enough as Henderson stays alive in this hotly contested bout.
James Peters: We have two high caliber elitists dueling here at Pain for Pride despite them both being tag team partners that seemed poised to win the Unified Tag Team titles.
Rich Russillo: Thing is, Stew, the pressure of NOT winning when many expect you to do just that can be daunting. We’ve seen teams shatter over petty things and we’ve seen rivals be birthed out of unfortunate situations. Many people would look at SOSA and Chris together and just see money. Two of the most talented men on the roster together? You’d think it’s a match made in heaven but in the case of Elite and Henderson against Idol-Gun? It didn’t work out for them.
Stew-O: It’s working out right now for Chris as he grabs SOSA by the tights and gets him off the mat. Henderson seems helpless as Elite spins him around and Irish whips hip viciously into the ring corner. Chris points a finger at SOSA
Jake Mercer: hehe…Chris Elite finger.
Rich Russillo: AND RUSHES WITH A FULL HEAD OF STEAM AT SOSA HENDERSON! HUGE HAWK EM DOUBLE KNEE TO THE CHEST OF SOSA AS HENDERSON IS CLEARLY FEELING THAT ONE!
James Peters: I’m surprised smoke didn’t escape SOSA’s mouth after that knee right there.
Rich Russillo: Ah, like his Chief Keef theme song! “Gas what I smoke!”, yes?
Stew-O: Ha, imagine not like Chief Keef! SOSA is feeling that pain and not liking this. Another Chief Keef reference ha.
Rich Russillo: As we have fun, SOSA is having the opposite of fun as Chris Elite pushes him away from the turnbuckle and leaps on top of the turnbuckle himself. SOSA staggers forward, unaware at his opponents position as Henderson slowly turns around and sees ELITE EXPLODE FROM THE CORNER AND FLOAT IN THE AIR! CROSS BODY SPLA-NO!
Jake Mercer: COUNTED BY SOSA!! SPEAR!!! SPEAR IN MID AIR AS SOSA CATCHES CHRIS ELITE RIGHT IN THE RIBS!
James Peters: SOSA PLANTS CHRIS ELITE FLAT ON HIS BACK AS HE PROCEEDS TO HOOK HIS OPPONENTS LEFT LEG FOR ANOTHER COVER!!
Referee: ONNNNNNNNEEEEEE!!!!
TWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOO!!!!!!
TH-NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Jake Mercer: Huge kick out by Blicky Boyz leader Bhris Elite!
Rich Russillo: SOSA pounces on top of Chris and begins raining fist after fist as Chris tries to protect himself! Left! Right! Left, left, right right! It sounds like I’m describing a dance but I’m telling you that SOSA is raining punches all over Chris Elite as Chris struggles to block them all. Chris SHOVES SOSA away finally as both men roll to their feet. SOSA rushes Chris as THE DICK EATERY-STOPPER! Chris Elite’s Mike Tyson style uppercut levels SOSA as he drops to one knee in front of Chris!
Stew-O: Chris Elite smirks as he stares at SOSA on the mat.
Chris Elite: (off-mic) I should throw a stack at you right now cause you look like a bitch!
SOSA Henderson: (off-mic) You…gay…
Stew-O: DREAMING! CHRIS ELITE HAS SOSA DREAMING AFTER CRACKING HIM WITH THAT BEAUTIFULLY EXECUTED AXE KICK! SOSA collapses to the mat as Chris Elite runs to the ring ropes, SPRINGBOARDS OFF THE TOP ROPE, AND CRASHES ONTO SOSA WITH A SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT! WHAT A TIMELY MOVE AS THE HIGH FLYING EXTRAORDINAIRE GOES RIGHT INTO ANOTHER PIN ATTEMPT! COVER!
Referee: ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
TWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: A huge high flying move is likely to be the way one of these gentlemen secures the victory…its just not going to be that one by Chris Elite. The excellent Dreaming Axe Kick was followed by a courageously timed springboard moonsault but SOSA isn’t ready to give up yet it seems. Chris drags SOSA up as…
Chris Elite:
Stew-O: A lil dancey dance by Chris Elite as he mocks the hurt Henderson. ONE PUNCH CONNECTS FROM CHRIS ELITE! ANOTHER PUNCH LANDS! SHOOT KICK TO THE STERNUM BY CHRIS AND HE FOLLOWS IT WITH A SPINNING BACK FIST! CHRIS ELITE CAPS ITS IT OFF WITH A VICIOUS LARIAT THAT TURNS SOSA HENDERSON INSIDE OUT! THE 5 BOROUGH COMBO LANDS IN RAPID SUCCESSION AS SOSA IS ON HIS BACK IN DEEP TROUBLE!
Jake Mercer: SOSA has a background in boxing to go along with his already amazing wrestling skills. Little known fact, before Tyron Woodley agreed to fight Jake Paul, SOSA was rumored to be his next opponent but the deal was called off at the very last minute when they allegedly wanted to implement a “No fucking bitches” clause that would force both men to abstain from having sex with groupies and loose ladies before the fight. Clearly the bitches love SOSA and SOSA loves them bitches!
Rich Russillo: SOSA doesn’t love the offense being created by one Chris Elite as SOSA tries to get off the mat but is met with a stiff dropkick by Chris as Henderson is back down on the floor. SOSA begins crawling towards the ring ropes as Chris grabs him by his hair. Elite snatches SOSA up and HOISTS HIS FOE ONTO HIS SHOULDERS! Chris Elite has SOSA in position. FUSION DAN-DAMN! DAMN! DAMN! THE REVERSAL!
James Peters: REVERSE HURRICANRANA BY SOSA HENDERSON PUTS CHRIS ELITE RIGHT ON TOP OF HIS OWN HEAD AS HIS NECK FOLDS LIKE A LAPTOP AND CHRIS ELITE BOUNCES OFF HIS OWN SKULL AND LANDS FLAT ON HIS STOMACH! SOSA IS ON BOTH KNEES AS HE CATCHES HIS BREATH! SOSA HAS HIS FACE COVERED BY HIS DREADS AS HE MOVES THE LOCKS OUT OF HIS EYES WAY AND SMIRKS AT THE CAMERA POSITIONED RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM!
Rich Russillo: SOSA with the timely counter that not only helped him avoid being harmed by one of Chris Elite’s infamous and signature moves, it led him to landing a huge reversal that leaves Chris Elite out cold in the center of the ring! SOSA crawls to the ring ropes, LEAPS OVER AND ONTO THE RING APRON, and Henderson stands there watching at waiting for Chris to stir. Elite begins to move as he clutches the back of his head and neck unaware at Henderson on the apron. Chris rises and turns as SOSA LEAPS AND SPRINGBOARDS ONTO THE TOP RING ROPE…SPRINGBOARD DROPKICK CONNECTS AS SOSA KICKS CHRIS ELITE SO HARD THAT ELITE STUMBLES BACKWARDS…AND OUT OF THE RING VIA THE MIDDLE ROPES!
Stew-O: SOSA just sent Chris Elite flying like a G6 as Chris Elite lands on the ring apron opposite his opponent. SOSA rushes and leaps over that rope without touching it at all. Straight vertical without any assistance as he lands right onto the apron that Chris is laying on. Chris is pulled off the apron and hoisted onto SOSA Henderson’s shoulders as SOSA positions his opponent perfectly. DEATH VALLEY DRIVER RIGHT ONTO THE RING APRON BY SOSA AS HE DRIVES THAT NECK OF CHRIS ELITE RIGHT INTO THE HARDEST PART OF THE WRESTLING RING! THE THUD! GOD I THINK WE MAY HAVE HEARD A BONE CRACK AFTER THAT!
Rich Russillo: For everyone’s sake, lets hope that wasn’t Chris’s neck breaking and more so just the ring breaking from the power of that apron Death Valley Driver! SOSA hops off the apron and begins walking with confidence ring side as fans begin booing him heavily here at Pain for Pride!
SOSA Henderson: (off-mic) I’M TOO FUCKING GOOD!
Jake Mercer: SOSA postures with the fans ring side as he ignores his opponent on the apron.
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE!
James Peters: The referee starts the count as SOSA seems unbothered at the moment. The fans here are booing him like crazy as he soaks it all up. Chris Elite is moving but clutching his neck as the pain must be tremendous right now.
Stew-O: SOSA makes a quick pivot, turns, and slides back in the ring before getting to his feet and searching for Chris. Elite is seated with his back to SOSA on the very ring apron he just was dropped onto as SOSA laughs before running to the opposite ring ropes, bouncing off of them, and charge Chris full speed…
Rich Russillo: BASEBALL SLIDE TO CHRIS ELITE AS HE GOES FLYING OFF THE RING APRON!
Jake Mercer: Man that reminds me of my time in Mexico!
Stew-O: SOSA is in rare form as he slides in the middle of the ring and gets to his feet. SOSA stares back at the downed Chris Elite who is ringside in a lot of pain. The referee restarts his count now for Chris himself.
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE!
Jake Mercer: This sounds like Brooklyn Nets fans counting down a Giannis Antetkoumpo free throw attempt! He should slow down. Give Chris a chance to breathe!
Rich Russillo: Elite is dragging himself up as SOSA watches intently.
Referee: FOUR! FIVE! SIX!
James Peters: SOSA has waited long enough as Elite rises to his feet. As Elite turns, SOSA CAN BE SEEN LEAPING FROM INSIDE THE RING RIGHT OUT ONTO CHRIS ELITE AS HE CONNECTS WITH A TOP CON HILO!!!
Rich Russillo: The grace in which he moves leads to graphic violence to every opponent he faces as SOSA crashes onto Elite with all his weight and force just now!
Stew-O: Chris Elite is pulled off the marr by SOSA as Henderson drags him and rolls him under the bottom rope back into the squared circle. SOSA remains in control as he climbs back into the ring and latches his hands on the back of Chris Elite’s neck. Chris is helpless as SOSA scoops Chris in his arms. STIFF BACKBREAKER NEARLY SNAPS CHRIS ELITE IN HALF AS HENDERSON KEEPS THE PRESSURE ON HIS FOE! Henderson smiles as he lifts Chris back off the ground and-SCHOOLBOY!
Rich Russillo: CHRIS ELITE MANAGES TO PULL OFF THE SCHOOL BOY AS SOSA LIFTED HIM OFF THE MAT!
Jake Mercer: BUT SOSA KICKS HIM OFF BEFORE THE REFEREE CAN EVEN START A COUNT! SOSA GETS UP AS CHRIS IS FAVORING HIS NECK AND NOW BACK! SOSA CHARGES CHRIS AS-
James Peters: OPEN YA MATA! JUMPING KNEE STRIKE COUNTER CONNECTS AS CHRIS ELITE STUNS SOSA HENDERSON!
Jake Mercer: Chris follows that knee with a stiff side kick to SOSA’s stomach. SOSA bends forward. Chris has him in a piledriver position. CHRIS LIFTS SOSA ABOVE HIS HEAD! SIT OUT POWERBOMB! CHRIS ELITE HAS SOSA IN A PIN! COVER!!!!!
Referee: ONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEE!!!
TWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!!!!!
TH-NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: SOSA MANAGED TO GET W SHOULDER UP AS THE FIGHT CONTINUES ON!
Stew-O: Chris Elite hops off the mat, still slightly favoring that back and especially that neck, and pulls SOSA up with one hand by the wrist.
Jake Mercer: CHRISSY WITH THE WRIST-Y!
Stew-O: Ok. CHRIS IRISH WHIPS-
Rich Russillo: NO SOSA REVERSES IT! SOSA THROWS A SUPERKICK!
Stew-O: NO CHRIS DUCKS IT! CHRIS LEAPS FORWARD AND HITS THE ALMIGHTY PUSH AND GOD IS MY WITNESS HE JUST SENT SOSA FLYING BACKWARDS!
Jake Mercer: SOSA IS FLAT ON HIS BACK BUT BEGINS TO ROLL TO HIS FEET!
Rich Russillo: Chris Elite pushes off the ground and stares at his foe. Chris charges SOSA one more time as SOSA stands directly up…CHRIS QUICKLY SCOOPS UP SOSA HENDERSON AND BEGINS TO SPIN UNTIL HE FINDS THE DIRECTION HE WANTS TO TAKE HIM…LAWN DART BY CHRIS ELITE AS HE THROWS HENDERSON INTO THE TURNBUCKLE FULL FORCE LIKE IT WAS NOTHING! The deceptively strong Chris Elite powers through SOSA as SOSA crumbles like croutons to the mat. Chris Elite drags SOSA to his feet but kicks him until his back is pressed against the turnbuckle before turning around and sprinting full speed to the opposite corner. Chris back and accelerates with all his might back towards SOSA…
James Peters: ANOTHER HUGE HAWK EM AS THE DOUBLE KNEE SMASH NEARLY CAVES IN SOSA’S CHEST! It’s almost concave following those double knees as SOSA collapses and rolls right into the center of the ring. Chris Elite looks rejuvenated as he smirks at the momentum now fully in his favor. Elite watches as Henderson is on his back covering his chest and he nods briefly at the pain his opponent is in. Chris turns and leaps onto the nearby turnbuckle and EXPLODES OFF OF IT!
Rich Russillo: AIMIN’ FOR THE MOON!!!!!!
Stew-O: NOOOOOO!!!! THE SENSATIONAL SPIRAL TAP FINISHING MOVE FAILS AS SOSA ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY COMPLETELY! CHRIS LANDS TERRIBLY ON THAT NECK AND IS ROLLING ON THE GROUND IN AGONY!!!
Rich Russillo: SOSA targeted that neck over and over and Chris fought through it but man that move is high risk for a good damn reason as SOSA stirs and Chris Elite looks out of commission currently.
Jake Mercer: SOSA is mustering the strength to rise as the fans begin booing him. Chris Elite is finally pushing off the mat, slowly to his feet as SOSA prepares himself. Chris stands as-
James Peters: SUPERKICK BY SOSA HENDERSON! SOSA PLANTS HIS FOOT PERFECTLY ON THE MOUTH OF CHRIS ELITE! SOSA ISNT FINISHED…SOSA LEAPS…LEAPING DDT CONNECTS!
Stew-O: DEADSHOT! DEADSHOT! DEADSHOT BY SOSA!
Rich Russillo: SOSA LANDS THE DEADSHOT AND CHRIS ELITE MIGHT BE DEAD TO RIGHTS AS HENDERSON ROLLS OVER AND GOES FOR THE COVER!!!!!
Referee: OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Stew-O: This crowd ROARS as Chris Elite pops his shoulder right up to avoid the pin fall! SOSA cannot believe it as he runs his hands through his hair before shaking his head aggressively!
Jake Mercer: It’s aggressive cause he’s black huh? Let me get Dr. D’Angelo out here so he can set you straight, Stew!
Rich Russillo: SOSA is crawling to the ring ropes, using each one to help get him off the mat as Chris Elite and that badly hurt neck miraculously found a way to continue fighting but at what cost? SOSA is sweating but he is trying to keep his cool as he turns to see Chris rolling over to his side and clutching that neck more than ever. SOSA sees him and stares right at that neck area. Chris Elite rolls to his stomach, on his hands and knees now as he pushes off the ground and-
James Peters: SOSA! HE RUSHES! HE LEAPS! DOUBLE FOOT STOMP TO THE BACK OF THE NECK OF CHRIS ELITE AS HE FLATTENS HIM IN THE MAT!
Rich Russillo: GOD HOW DEPRAVED WAS THAT! THE MAN WAS AS DEFENSELESS AS A MAN CAN BE AND THE COLD HEARTED, RUTHLESSNESS OF SOSA HENDERSON TOOK OVER AS HE BASICALLY CONNECTED WITH A DIFFERENT VERSION OF THE PAID IN FULL STOMP JUST NOW! SOSA ISNT DONE!
(BAM!!!!)
Stew-O: ANOTHER ONE! VICIOUSLY SOSA LEAPS AND
(BAM!!!!)
Stew-O: A THIRD DOUBLE FOOT STOMP TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD AND NECK!
James Peters: This is murder Jesus!
Stew-O: Chris is flat on his face. He’s out cold. Chris Elite somehow by the grace of god is moving just a bit. SOSA is walking around the ring as the referee goes to check on Chris Elite. He’s checking as-SOSA SHOULDER BUMPS THE REFEREE OUT OF HIS WAY! SOSA PUTS A FOOT ON THE BACK OF CHRIS’S NECK AS CHRIS WIGGLES AND SCREAMS IN SHEER AGONY! HENDERSON IS SMIRKING WITH A COCKY GRIN AS HE SQUEEZES THE AIR OUT OF CHRIS AS THE REFEREE DEMANDS HIM TO BREAK THE ILLEGAL HOLD!
Rich Russillo: This is a single’s match, one of the few on this card without a stipulation but that means the rules are in play and if SOSA doesn’t obey them he can be disqualified and forfeit this victory.
Jake Mercer: At the way he’s enjoying torturing Chris Elite, that just might be his plan here at Pain for Pride. We about to smoke on that Bhrissy pack if this keeps up. Good runtz.
James Peters: You don’t smoke. Virgin.
Jake Mercer: Hey.
Rich Russillo: The referee demands SOSA relent and he finally does. SOSA turns to the crowd and gives a double middle finger to the fans in attendance as he cannot give a damn about how they feel about his actions tonight.
Stew-O: SOSA basks in the hatred again before finally turning back to his wounded prey. Chris Elite is struggling even more to get off the mat as that neck is swelling from all the damage down to it. SOSA assists his opponent by pulling on that neck again as-!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: BOX OFFICE SMASH!!!!! BOX OFFICE SMASH!!!! SUPERKICK OUT OF NOWHERE AS CHRIS ELITE CRACKS SOSA HENDERSON RIGHT ON THE MONEY!
Jake Mercer: THIS BUILDING JUST POPPED LIKE I’VE NEVER HEARD BEFORE! CHRIS ELITE STUMBLES AND LANDS ON HIS ASS AS HENDERSON SLOWLY FALLS FLAT ON HIS BACK! CHRIS FAVORS HIS NECK AS HE SCOOTS CLOSER AND CLOSER TO HENDERSOON!
James Peters: THE BOX OFFICE SMASH OUT OF NOWHERE MAY HAVE SAVED ELITE’S NIGHT! CHRIS SCOOTS AND SLIDES AND PLACES ONE ARM ON SOSA AND ONE ARM ON HIS OWN NECK! COVER!!!!!
Referee: OOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
TWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOO!!!!!!!
THRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
…
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: SOSA NUDGES HIS SHOULDER OFF THE MAT RIGHT BEFORE THE REFEREE TAPS IT!
James Peters: Both men want this more than we may have anticipated. Neither men has a championship to end the season. Neither men was satisfied not becoming Unified Tag Team champions. Both have the pedigree and lineage of being World Champions attached to their names. This is about proving who is the best and who is just a shade lower than the other here tonight at Pain for Pride!
Rich Russillo: Chris Elite and SOSA traded words this week and have the gift of gab as both their talents. Tonight, the heart, determination, and willingness to take this fight to one another is building to an epic conclusion.
Stew-O: Only one can stand tall and currently we see Chris making his way off the mat and standing as upright as he can. SOSA is on his side woozy as can be. Probably still seeing stars after that Box Office Smash super kick. Henderson is dragged by Chris up by his tights as Elite stands directly behind-
James Peters: WAIT! HENDERSON LEAPS BACKWARDS!!!
Rich Russillo: STOLE! YO! BITCH! THE RKO HITS! THE CUTTER CONNECTS AS SOSA PULLS HIS OWN MOVE OUT OF NOWHERE!!!! THAT NECK IS DONE! CHRIS ELITE JUST GOT BENT LIKE ORIGAMI AND FLOPPED TO THE MAT!!!
Stew-O: SOSA JUST TOOK THE AIR BACK OUT OF THIS BUILDING AS HE ROLLS OVER AND COVERS CHRIS ELITE!!
Jake Mercer: BHRIS DOWN! SOSA DOWN! SOSA PUTS HIS ARM OVER BHRIS!!!
Referee: ONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
(“Faneto” by Chief Keef blasts out the speakers as the fans give a mixed reaction, still mostly filled with boos.)
Bella Braxton: HERE IS YOUR WINNER…SOOOOOSA HEENDERRRSONNNNN!!!!!
(SOSA rolls away from Chris Elite as SOSA still looks confused as can be. The effects of the Box Office Smash may have given him a concussion.)
Stew-O: A match between two of the fastest elitists that ever lived just saw SOSA Henderson find a way to hit that RKO literally out of nowhere following Chris Elite’s own out of nowhere super kick. Maybe if Chris had not sustained so many blows to the back of his neck, maybe he kicks out one more time but alas SOSA leaves Pain for Pride with a huge victory as he found a way to rise to the occasion tonight!
Rich Russillo: Hate him or hate him even more, SOSA had a strategy and managed to put it to use as he succeeds where Chris Elite could not! Great effort by Chris but this moment is indeed SOSA’s!
(The match ends with SOSA on his side with his hand raised, gassed, and still a bit confused at how he pulled off that finish. From there, Pain for Pride fades away from the area.)
(Pain For Pride fades to the backstage area of the SoFi Stadium as Michael Belfort is seen making his way through the halls as he catches the eye of a familiar face)
Michael Belfort: Adam Lucas! I’m glad I found you, do you mind if I ask a few questions?
(The crowd pops in excitement as Adam Lucas is seen seated on a production crate. He has casual wear on yet despite that is still bearing the wounds from his brutal match yesterday against Mr. DEDEDE. In his hands is the Hardcore Championship as his eyes continue to be fixated on it. He stares at it for just a little longer before looking at Michael with a smile, nodding his head)
Michael Belfort: First off, congratulations on your Hardcore Championship to you. I’m sure this Championship win means alot to you especially being the first holder since its revival. Can I hear your thoughts on it?
Adam Lucas: Well, there’s a lot I hold close to my heart at the moment. It being my first Pain For Pride and coming in a Champion and walking out one, that’s an honor in itself. And winning the Hardcore Championship and starting a whole new line of prestige for the title itself, from the final bell to now I’ve had to pinch myself a few times whenever I look at this. It’s a dream come true and sometimes you just find it hard to believe, especially beating a competitor like Ryan Adams. I promised everyone there would be a new GAWD in town and lo and behold, here I am standing here today as your new Hardcore Champion. I have slain the beast in his element, I have outlasted him at Pain For Pride. I told Ryan one thing and it was the fact I was not going to be denied. If he thought that I was going to be compliant and allow him to step over me like that, then he had a whole thing coming for him. Rightful judgement came for Ryan and a dose of karma came with that as well. And let me just say, karma is sweeter than revenge.
Michael Belfort: It’s a very feel-good moment for you if I do say so myself. But what about the PURE Championship. I know you pride yourself on being PURE Champion and when Mr. DEDEDE introduced the PURE Championship you knew regardless of the result you would not be walking out of the event as PURE Champion. Do you still feel that knot in your stomach knowing that? Or is that completely gone with the wind knowing that somehow you got your payment in full?
Adam Lucas: I told Ryan right out of the gate that it didn’t matter if it was PURE or Hardcore rules, I was still going to beat him. Ryan has always always been a self absorbed egomaniac and you know everything that he’s done leading up to this match has never been for anyone else but himself. He honestly thought that he could smoothly get away with that without any repercussions. It was about damn time that someone returned the favor to him and it’s safe to say both me and Banks did just that at Pain For Pride. The retirement of the PURE Championship is something that is completely out of my control, and sure it was a hard pill to swallow at first, but it’s the business. And what the hell can you do about it? I promise regardless just as I was the face of the PURE Division, the Hardcore Division is going to be no different. I am still a fighting Champion and I will continue to be a fighting Champion for as long as I hold this belt.
Michael Belfort: Speaking of Banks, I’m sure people have their opinions about the end of the match. DEDEDE was inches away from finishing it but in the end it was Banks that interfered from his position at commentary and connected with a Go To Retirement to get a victory. You seem to have absolutely no problem with that at all. Can I get your thoughts on the outside interference?
Adam Lucas: As much as people would say someone like me would be angry with that, it’s what DEDEDE had coming for him. After everyone that he’s belittled and disrespected for God knows how long, it was only a matter of time before one of them came around and kicked him right in the ass. Besides, there’s nothing PURE about the Hardcore Division, it’s in the same. Sometimes you have to get your hands dirty and that’s exactly what I did. It’s definitely a change from the no closed hand punches to the face and three rope break environment that the PURE Championship held. But it’s nothing that I can’t conform to and I think tonight showed just that. So to those possibly twiddling their thumbs saying “#JusticeForDEDEDE” like Kassidy Heart and her ten other accounts trying to defend her “Daddy Gawd”, you clearly don’t know a thing about this Championship.
Michael Belfort: :wow: Well I’m sure my final question is obvious, what’s next for Adam Lucas and the Hardcore Championship?
Adam Lucas: Well, that’s something that’s going to have to be found out with time. I’m not a fortune teller, I can’t really foresee the future. All I know for certain is whoever decides to step up to the plate needs to know that I’m ready for whatever they throw at me. I have exactly what it takes to be a Champion and whoever the hell is going to question that is in for one hell of a rude awakening just like I did last night. Believe it or not, beating DEDEDE was just the start of my climb to the top of the mountain. I’m not done, and as long as I’m an active Elite Answers Wrestling competitor, I will never be done.
Michael Belfort: Adam Lucas thank you for joining us.
(Michael nods to him as he leaves the scene, leaving Adam on the production crate. He looks back down at the Hardcore Championship and puts it over his shoulder. He from there stands up and walks off as that’s the last shot seen before Pain For Pride transitions to elsewhere)
( Pain for Pride fades back in and cuts down to the ringside area. The fans inside SoFi Stadium have been treated to a hell of a show so far, and one of the best matches of the weekend is next! )
( The crowd absolutely erupts as “brutal” by Olivia Rodrigo begins to blast across the stadium system’s PA. )
Stephie Love: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN… THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS A CALIFORNIA STREET FIGHT AND IT IS SCHEDULED FOR…
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!
Persephone: Or death, hopefully.
( Sierra Bradford steps onto the stage and takes a moment to soak in the atmosphere. She’s a Cali girl, and the crowd really seems to embrace her. )
Stephie Love: INTRODUCING FIRST… FROM SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA… WEIGHING IN AT 121 POUNDS… SHE IS ‘THE QUEEN OF HER WORLD’ … SIERRA BRADFORD!!!!
Persephone: It honestly makes me physically sick to agree with anything Handjob Leewhore has to say about anything ever, but ‘The Queen of Her World’ really is a dumbass nickname. If Sierra Bradford is the queen of her world, then that world must be a fucking awful place to live.
Rich Russillo: You always have some of the best opinions, Persephone :wow:. You never cease to amaze me with how honest you are.
Persephone: I’m still not going to fuck you, Richard.
Stew-O: :mjlol: Well, I can already see how this is going to go. Nevertheless, I am excited for this match. As part of The Realm, Sierra Bradford, along with her opponent tonight, Harper Lee, won the Unified Tag Team Championships back at Territorial Invasion last year. They would go on to reign until this past King of Elite when IDOL-GUN would defeat them along with Chained Fury and The Maidens of Malpractice in a Fatal Fourway Match. Everything seemed fine for Bradford and Lee until they were put against two impressive rookies in Holly Arrow and Mary S. Atlas at Reckless Wiring. Holly and Mary would pull off the upset, and Harper Lee would snap.
Rich Russillo: A bit of an understatement, Stew, because Harper’s actions after that match were absolutely shocking. She tried to pry Sierra’s tongue from her mouth with a pair of pliers and for me to be shocked by that is saying something. I am a Voltage commentator after all.
Stew-O: That is completely fa-
( Stew-O is cut off by the crowd screaming. A partial semi-truck has rolled into the stage, bright yellow in color and without the trailer/bed attached to it. )
( This stops Sierra in her tracks because despite her theme music playing, she can hear the truck and obviously the change in the reaction of the crowd. She turns around and her mouth drops open in shock. )
Persephone: THAT IS XIMENA VELASQUEZ BEHIND THE WHEEL!!!!
Stew-O: SIERRA BRADFORD IS FROZEN IN FEAR AS XIMENA GUNS THE ENGINE! SHE DRIVES RIGHT FOR SIERRA, WHO HESITATES A LITTLE TOO LONG! SIERRA IS STRUCK BY THE TRUCK AND SHE CRUMBLES TO THE GROUND! XIMENA SLAMS ON THE BRAKES AND PUTS THE TRUCK IN PARK AND LOOK WHO IS ON TOP OF THE TRUCK!!!!
( Harper Lee is seen standing on top of the truck, her arms outstretched in the air. )
Harper Lee: (off-mic) :blessed: IT’S ALL ABOUT ME!!!! :blessed:
Rich Russillo: HARPER LEE LOOKS DOWN AT THE FALLEN BODY OF SIERRA BRADFORD AND SHE SLIDES DOWN THE TOP OF THE TRUCK! SHE LANDS FEET FIRST ON THE HOOD AND LAUNCHES HERSELF OFF! DIVING METEORA OFF THE HOOD THE TRUCK!!! HARPER LANDS ON SIERRA AND SHE STARTS THROWING HANDS!
Stew-O: SIERRA IS ABSOLUTELY DEFENSELESS RIGHT NOW! SHE LITERALLY JUST GOT HIT WITH A TRUCK! HARPER IS BEATING THE SHIT OUT OF HER AND NOW SHE GRABS SIERRA BY THE HAIR! SHE DRAGS SIERRA TO THE RING AND THROWS HER FACE FIRST INTO THE RINGPOST!
Persephone: SIERRA BOUNCES OFF THE RING POST AND HITS THE GROUND WITH A THUD! HARPER GRABS HER UP AND SHE THROWS HER HEAD FIRST INTO THE RING STEPS! HARPER BEGINS STOMPING ON SIERRA’S HEAD!
Rich Russillo: HARPER FINALLY RELENTS BUT SHE IS DIGGING UNDER THE RING! SHE PULLS OUT A KENDO STICK AND SHE BEGINS TO BEAT SIERRA!!!!
Stew-O: HARPER BEATS SIERRA UNTIL SHE BREAKS THAT KENDO STICK IN HALF AND SHE TOSSES HER INTO THE RING!!!!
( DING! DING! DING! )
Rich Russillo: THE BELL RINGS, BUT THIS MATCH MAY AS WELL BE OVER! SIERRA BRADFORD WAS HIT BY A TRUCK DURING HER ENTRANCE AND IT HAS BEEN ALL HARPER LEE! HARPER LOOKS TO FINISH THIS MATCH OFF AND SHE PULLS SIERRA UP! HARPER LEE WITH ‘RAGNAROK’! THE OLYMPIC SLAM CONNECTS ON SIERRA!!!!
Persephone: :yikes: What a shitty movie.
Rich Russillo and Stew-O: :comeagain:
Rich Russillo: Ragnarok is by far the best Thor movie in the franchise and one of the best Marvel movies period.
Persephone: The fact you think that is why you’re still a virgin.
Stew-O: :mjlol: Personally, I liked Thor: Dark World.
Rich Russillo: :mjcry: That hurts my heart.
Persephone: Harper Lee has gone for the pin on Sierra Bradford and we’re about to have one of the quickest matches in Pain for Pride history!!! :blessed:!!!!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
Stew-O: Sierra kicks out! Harper doesn’t look happy about that, and I shudder to think of what she has planned for Sierra tonight. The change in Harper has been terrifying to say the least. She doesn’t seem to have any boundaries when it comes to what she is willing to do to put her former best friend and tag team partner out of commission for good.
Rich Russillo: Harper drags Sierra up to her feet and tosses her into the corner. Harper gets a running start and is able to connect with a running facewash to the side of Sierra’s face! Sierra drops to her knees in the corner and Harper, showing absolutely no mercy, kicks the other girl right upside the head! Harper drops to the outside of the ring and looks for something else she can use to hurt Sierra with. Sierra’s in a world of trouble right now, and I’m not even sure if she knows where she is right now.
Persephone: She’s getting her ass beat and it’s fucking hilarious. LOVE that for Sierra! Couldn’t be happening to a nicer person on the grandest stage of them all! :mjlol2:
Rich Russillo: She might not know where she’s at, but Sierra knows she is a world of hurt right now. She’s rolled onto the apron on the other side of the ring, putting some much needed space between herself and Harper.
Stew-O: But for how long? Harper has found something to play with and I don’t think that bodes very well for Sierra :lupe:
( Harper Lee has managed to find a chain, but not just any chain! It’s a barbed wire wrapped chain :wow: )
Persephone: The Voltage stagehands definitely put that shit under the ring.
Rich Russillo: Harper slowly makes her way towards Sierra with an absolutely crazed look in her eyes. Sierra has dropped to the floor now and Harper nails her with a kick to the ribs! She bends down, looking to wrap that chain around Sierra’s neck BUT SHE FALLS BACK! HARPER STUMBLES BACK, HOLDING HER EYE!
Stew-O: SIERRA JUST STABBED HARPER IN THE EYE WITH A FORK!
Persephone: YES! HARPER TRIES FOR A KNEE STRIKE, BUT SIERRA ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY AND STABS HARPER IN THE BACK OF THE KNEE WITH THE FORK! HARPER’S LEGS BUCKLE AND SIERRA FOLLOWS UP WITH ANOTHER VICIOUS STAB TO THE BACK OF THE KNEE! HARPER IS DOWN ON THE GROUND NOW AND SIERRA PLANTS THAT FORK RIGHT BETWEEN HARPER’S SHOULDER BLADES! SHE STABBED HER IN THE BACK! :mjlol2:
Rich Russillo: SIERRA GOES FOR THAT CHAIN AND SHE QUICKLY WRAPS IT AROUND HARPER’S NECK! SIERRA FALLS BACK, LOCKING HER LEGS AROUND HARPER’S WAIST, AND SHE IS ATTEMPTING TO CHOKE HER OUT! SIERRA WAS ABSOLUTELY BRUTALIZED IN THE OPENING MINUTES OF THIS MATCH BUT SHE’S MANAGED TO TURN THE TIDES SO SPEAK! HARPER IS KICKING AND FLAILING BUT SIERRA IS GOING FOR THE CHOKE OUT!!!
Stew-O: NO SHE’S NOT! THAT WOULD BE TOO EASY! SIERRA LETS UP RIGHT BEFORE HARPER FALLS UNCONSCIOUS AND SHE QUICKLY LOOPS THE CHAIN AROUND HARPER’S NECK! SIERRA MAKES SURE TO EMBED THAT BARBED WIRE INTO THE NECK OF HER FORMER PARTNER BEFORE DRAGGING HER UP THE RAMP! SIERRA IS BRINGING THEM TOWARDS THAT TRUCK THAT XIMENA VELSAQUEZ DROVE ONTO THE STAGE!
Persephone: LA DIOSA HAS SEEMINGLY VANISHED AND THAT ALLOWS HARPER TO USE THE CHAIN TO HOIST HARPER UP AND SWING HER INTO THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK! SHE SPLATTERED AGAINST THE GRILL OF THAT THING LIKE A FUCKING MOSQUITO AND I’M DYING! THIS SHIT IS HILARIOUS!
Rich Russillo: SIERRA DRAGS HARPER AROUND TO THE DRIVER’S SIDE AND RIPS OPEN THE DOOR! SHE FORCES HARPER UP ON THE LITTLE STEP AND SLAMS THE DOOR SHUT ON HARPER’S HEAD! SIERRA DOES IT AGAIN AND SHE IS ABSOLUTELY DOING WHATEVER SHE CAN TO LEGITIMATELY KILL HARPER LEE! SIERRA WITH A FIFTH AND FINAL SLAM AND HARPER SLUMPS TO THE GROUND LIKE A RAGDOLL!
Stew-O: SIERRA FOLDS THE CHAIN IN HALF AND SHE IS WHIPPING HER FORMER BEST FRIEND NOW! THE BARBED WIRE CHAIN IS SLICING OPEN THE FLESH ON HARPER’S STOMACH AND THE FRONT OF HER LEGS! SIERRA BRADFORD IS POSSESSED RIGHT NOW
Persephone: I’M HERE FOR IT! :blessed:
Rich Russillo: HARPER LEE HAS BEEN SLICED TO RIBBONS AND SIERRA VIOLENTLY GRABS HER BY THE HAIR AND STARTS TO DRAG HER BACKSTAGE! ALL THE STAGEHANDS AND EAW PERSONNEL ARE GETTING THE HELL OUT OF THE WAY AS SIERRA TOSSES THE LIMP BODY OF HARPER INTO A PILE OF ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT!!!! SPARKS ARE FLYING EVERYWHERE!
Stew-O: SIERRA HAS TAKEN OFF DOWN THE HALLWAY AND SHE’S IN THE CATERING AREA! SHE GRABS A COOLER FULL OF ICE THAT HAS SEVERAL GRAB AND GO DRINKS JUST CHILLING IN THEM AND SHE IS RUSHING BACK TOWARDS HARPER! HARPER IS TANGLED UP IN BROKEN EQUIPMENT AND ELECTRICAL WIRE AND SIERRA PUSHES THE COOLER TOWARDS HARPER!
Persephone: OMG!
Rich Russillo: SIERRA DUMPS THE CONTENTS OF THE COOLER ONTO HARPER AND SHE IS BEING VIOLENTLY ELECTROCUTED! SIERRA BRADFORD IS STANDING BACK WITH A SMILE ON HER FACE AS SHE WATCHES HER FORMER TAG TEAM PARTNER SCREAM AND WHITHER AROUND IN PAIN! SEVERAL EAW OFFICIALS HAVE COME RUNNING INTO THE SCENE BECAUSE THE SPARKS HAVE CAUSED A SMALL ELECTRICAL FIRE TO BREAK OUT!
Stew-O: BUT SIERRA SHOVES THEM AWAY! SHE GRABS HARPER AND STARTS TO SHOVE HER FACE TOWARDS THE FIRE!
Persephone: XIMENA! XIMENA JUST CAME OUT OF NOWHERE AND HIT SIERRA WITH A BIG BOOT TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD! SHE JUST SAVED HARPER LEE FROM BEING BURNED ALIVE AND NOW SHE IS DRAGGING HARPER OUT OF THE RUBBLE! HARPER IS SHAKING AND CONVULSING! I HAVE NO IDEA HOW MANY VOLTS OF ELECTRICITY RIPPED THROUGH HER BODY WHEN THAT ICE COOLER WAS DUMPED ONTO HER, BUT I LIKE IT! I LIKE IT SO MUCH!
Rich Russillo: Holy fuck, what a brutal match so far. I absolutely did not expect Sierra Bradford to come out here tonight ready to kill.
Persephone: Really? I did. What other choice does she have? Meth-Mouth Leewhore literally tried to take her tongue. She tried to permanently disfigure Sierra.
Stew-O: Persephone has a solid point. I knew this wouldn’t be an easy match for Harper to win.
Persephone: Sierra is already back up and SHE HAS A CHAIR! SHE SLAMS THE CHAIR ACROSS THE BACK OF XIMENA VELASQUEZ AND CRACKS HER ACROSS THE TOP OF THE HEAD! XIMENA IS OUT LIKE A LIGHT AND HARPER IS LEFT AT SIERRA’S MERCY NOW! SIERRA SLAMS THE CHAIR DOWN ACROSS HARPER’S STOMACH AND SHE DROPS DOWN FOR THE PIN!!!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEE-
Rich Russillo: HARPER LIVES!!!! SHE SOMEHOW GOT THE SHOULDER UP!!!!
Persephone: That’s just fine with Sierra! Sierra grabs a hold of the chain and has gone back to strangling Harper! There is absolutely nothing the referee can do, because this match is a streetfight and I love it. :drakelike: The more violence, the better, and I fucking love seeing women tearing down other women! It gives me life! Sierra is back to her feet now and she continues to drag Harper down the hall. :damn:
Stew-O: Sierra just slung Harper into the men’s restroom!!!
Persephone: RICH LOOK! IT’S JAMESY! WE JUST CAUGHT JAMES TAKING A LEAK 😀 Damn, he looks pretty hung.
Rich Russillo: :will:
Stew-O: :wtf:
( James Peters quickly zips up his fly and gets the fuck out of the bathroom. )
Rich Russillo: SIERRA WHIPS HARPER INTO THE SIDE OF THE URINAL AND SHE SLUMPS TO THE GROUND! SIERRA FOLLOWS UP WITH A SOLID KNEE STRIKE THAT SENDS THE BACK OF HARPER’S SKULL CRASHING AGAINST THE PORCELAIN. SIERRA SNATCHES HARPER BY THE HAIR AND SHE SLAMS HER FACE INTO THAT DIRTY URINAL!!!! 🤢🤢
Stew-O: NO! HARPER SOMEHOW MANAGED TO GET HER FOOT UP AND BLOCK! HOW THE HELL IS HARPER LEE ABLE TO DEFEND HERSELF??
Persephone: I mean, unless you’re into that sort of thing, I don’t think you want your face slammed into a pissy, smelly urinal.
Rich Russillo: Sierra falters just a bit and that allows Harper to send her reeling with a back elbow! Harper collapses to her knees but she is able to move out of the way as Sierra looks for another knee! Sierra’s knee collides with the urinal and she crumbles to the ground! Sierra is holding her knee and Harper FINALLY gets a chance to unwrap that chain from around her and regroup. She might have started this match with things under her control, but Sierra quickly turned the tides and hasn’t let up yet. This is the first time Harper has been able to defend herself and now she looks to capitalize!
Stew-O: Harper staggers to her feet and limps towards Sierra. She puts the boots to that injured right knee and follows up with a solid kick that connects right to her opponent’s face! Harper is breathing hard, but it’s clear right now that she is getting her head back into this match. She pulls Sierra up by the hair, hooks her by the bad leg, and THERE’S AN EXPLODER SUPLEX THROUGH THE BATHROOM STALL DOOR!
Persephone: SIERRA GOES CRASHING THROUGH THE DOOR AND HARPER QUICKLY PULLS HER OUT OF THE RUBBLE! SHE KICKS A PATH THROUGH THE DEBRIS AND SLAMS SIERRA’S FACE OFF THE TOILET SEAT! SHE DOES IT SEVERAL MORE TIMES BEFORE SHOVING SIERRA’S FACE INTO THE WATER! SHE’S TRYING TO DROWN HER!!!!
Rich Russillo: SIERRA IS GOING TO DIE! HARPER PUSHES ALL HER WEIGHT ON TOP OF SIERRA, ABSOLUTELY CRUSHING HER FACE INTO THE BOTTOM OF THE TOILET! SIERRA’S KICKS ARE GROWING WEAKER AND WEAKER!
Stew-O: HARPER JERKS SIERRA’S HEAD UP AT THE ABSOLUTE LAST POSSIBLE SECOND! SIERRA IS DESPERATELY GASPING FOR AIR RIGHT NOW AND HARPER CRUELLY THROWS HER OUT OF THE STALL!
Persephone: SIERRA LANDS BY THE SINK AND TRIES TO PULL HERSELF UP, BUT HARPER LEE GRABS THE TRASHCAN AND THROWS IT RIGHT AT SIERRA! SIERRA FALLS DOWN AND HARPER DROPS, HAMMERING AWAY ON SIERRA! RIGHTS AND LEFTS CONNECT ALL OVER SIERRA’S HEAD!
Rich Russillo: HARPER JERKS SIERRA UP AND PUNCHES HER RIGHT IN THE THROAT! SHE MAINTAINS CONTROL OF SIERRA’S ARM AND WHIPS HER INTO THE WALL! SIERRA HITS BACK FIRST, AND SLUMPS TO THE GROUND, BUT HARPER DOESN’T EVEN GIVE HER A MOMENT TO BREATHE! HARPER GRABS THE HAIR AND SHE RAMS SIERRA’S FACE INTO THE MIRROR! SIERRA’S FACE IS PUT THROUGH A MIRROR AND GLASS SHATTERS EVERYWHERE! HARPER WRAPS SIERRA UP FROM BEHIND, THROWS HER BACK WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX, AND THAT WAS A SICKENING CRACK AS THE BACK OF SIERRA’S HEAD SLAMMED INTO THE GROUND!
Stew-O: HARPER WITH THE COVER NOW!!!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEE-
Persephone: Drake’s bitch gets the shoulder up!
Stew-O: Harper immediately gets back to her feet and she goes for the chain! This time it’s Sierra Bradford who finds herself being punished. Harper beats Sierra to a bloody pulp with that chain, shredding Sierra’s Paramore t-shirt!
Persephone: Ehh, they suck anyways.
Rich Russillo: Harper quickly wraps the chain around Sierra’s injured knee and she starts to drag her out of the bathroom. They make their way down the hallway, with Sierra trying to sit up and grab at the chain, but Harper stops them right as she makes her way to one of the exits, and she stomps on the knee a few times! She flips Sierra onto her stomach, and hooks more of the chain around Sierra’s other leg, attaching them together! She grabs Sierra’s head and pulls back, tying Sierra’s neck to her bound legs! :damn:
Persephone: Damn, so Harper must be into bondage or something because that’s a pretty brutal hogtie position. I thought the bitch was a virgin this whole time.
Stew-O: Sierra is unable to fend for herself at the moment and Harper hauls her outside! This fight has finally spilled outside of SoFi Stadium :blessed:
Rich Russillo: I have no clue what Harper has in mind right now as she drags Sierra across the pavement. Sierra has absolutely torn up her own hands trying to keep that barbed wire chain from strangling her.
( The camera shot cuts to a beautiful aerial view of SoFi Stadium so the fans at home can see how it’s laid out. )
:format(webp)/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/65259651/Screen_Shot_2019_09_16_at_3.42.33_PM.0.png)
Persephone: Harper is taking Sierra to where that SoFi Stadium sign is location :lupe:
Stew-O: Harper hauls Sierra up by her bonds and swings her right into the sign! Sierra bounces off and lands in a heap and that prompts Harper to grab Sierra AND I THINK SHE IS GOING TO TRY AND THROW HER INTO THE WATER! THE LAKES AROUND SOFI STADIUM ARE ABOUT 15-FEET DEEP GUYS! SIERRA WILL DROWN :lupe:
Persephone: Who’s going to miss her?
Rich Russillo: :lupe: Drake might!
Stew-O: It seems like cooler heads are prevailing right now as Harper Lee has second thoughts about throwing Sierra over the waterfall and into the lake. She throws her into the SoFi sign once again and finally she bends down and starts to free Sierra from her bonds.
Persephone: :will: She should have just thrown that bitch into the water. This match would have had to be called off. Why can’t I ever get what I want around here??
Rich Russillo: Harper has gone back to beating Sierra with that chain, and once again, this match is solidly in Harper Lee’s favor. She throws the chain to the side and drags Sierra to the edge of the waterfall! She shoves Sierra’s head into the water, while shouting at her, and she begins to punch Sierra in the back of the skull! Harper rips Sierra out of the water just long enough so she can catch her breath, and she dunks her back under!
Stew-O: Sierra has got to find a way to get herself back into this match. She’s taken a lot of abuse in this match, including getting hit by a semi-truck and having her face slammed through a mirror! I’m not sure how much more she can take.
Persephone: Well Harper seems determined to find out! She flips Sierra over onto her back and mounts her! Punch after punch connects with Sierra’s face! Harper is choking her now, and look! Out of sheer desperation, Sierra rakes Harper across the face! HARPER STILL HAS A HOLD OF SIERRA, BUT SIERRA RAKES HER IN THE EYES AGAIN! HARPER HAS TO LET GO AND THAT ALLOWS SIERRA TO SHOVE HER OFF AND SCRAMBLE AWAY FROM THE EDGE OF THE WATER! HARPER HAS REGAINED HER SENSES, AND SHE LUNGES FOR SIERRA, BUT SIERRA QUICKLY CUTS HER OFF WITH A KNEE TO THE GUT! HARPER DOUBLES OVER AND SIERRA WITH A DOUBLE AXE-HANDLE TO THE BACK TO FORCE HARPER TO HER KNEES!
Rich Russillo: SIERRA ABSOLUTELY DESTROYS HARPER WITH SEVERAL KNEE STRIKES TO THE FACE, AND ABSOLUTELY LAYS HER OUT WITH A NASTY KICK TO THE TEMPLE! SIERRA LOOKS DOWN AT HER FALLEN HER PARTNER AND I DO NOT LIKE THE LOOK THAT JUST CROSSED HER FACE :lupe:
Stew-O: SIERRA GRABS HARPER AND DRILLS HER INTO THE GROUND WITH A DDT! SHE RIPS HER TATTERED T-SHIRT OFF AND TIES THE PIECES AROUND HARPER’S EYES, NOSE, AND MOUTH!!!
Persephone: EWWWW! Why is her bra so ugly?? It looks like it came from Wal-Mart!
Rich Russillo: :mjlol:
Sierra Bradford: (off-mic) REMEMBER WHEN YOU TITLED YOUR VIDEO PARAMORE SUCKS??
Persephone: SIERRA DRAGS HARPER TO THE WATER AND HOOKS HER BY THE LEGS, SHE SLINGS HARPER OVER THE EDGE, HANGING ONTO HER LEGS! HARPER IS HANGING UPSIDE IN THE MIDST OF THAT RUSHING WATERFALL!!!!
Sierra Bradford: (off-mic) PARAMORE DOESN’T SUCK YOU BITCH!
Rich Russillo: Well I have fucking seen it all. Sierra Bradford is currently waterboarding Harper Lee. You can’t make this shit up.
Stew-O: Sierra finally pulls Harper up, who is gasping for air and trembling. Sierra looks absolutely pissed off and she drags Harper over to the SoFi sign. Sierra grabs Harper from behind and hits a release German suplex! Harper goes flying into the sign, striking the side of her head against it! She may be out, guys. We may finally have a winner for this match!
Persephone: I mean, as long as one of them is legitimately ready to kill the other one, we can continue on for a few more minutes. I’ve really only seen two actual murders before and I need more.
Rich Russillo: :comeagain: Now wait a second…
Stew-O: What do you mean you’ve seen two murders before??
Persephone: :lupe: It’s a long story and I shouldn’t talk about it so candidly.
Stew-O: :skip:
Rich Russillo: Sierra has the blindfolded Harper Lee by the hair and has started to drag her towards the parking lot area. These women have done some absolutely heinous things to one another, and something tells me we are far from through. Neither one of these women will ever be satisfied unless they incapacitate the other competitor! Sierra has taken Harper over to a row of parked cars and throws her into the last vehicle in the line!!!!
Persephone: That is one one of the ugliest fucking trucks I have ever seen in my life. Must be Ronan Malosi’s rental.
Stew-O: :mjlol: It certainly has a Republican vibe to it, doesn’t it?
Rich Russillo: SIERRA RIPS THE BLINDFOLD OFF HARPER AND HAS TAKEN HER AND SHOVED HER HEAD INTO THE SPACE WHERE THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN LIFTED! SHE HAS CONTROL OF HARPER’S HAIR AND SHE IS RUBBING HARPER’S FACE ACROSS THE TOP OF THE MUD TIRES!!!! SIERRA PULLS HARPER OUT AND SLAMS HER INTO THE PASSENGER’S SIDE DOOR!!!!
???: HEY!!!!
( The passenger’s side door opens and Alissa Brady hits the pavement with a thud. Ronan Malosi sticks his head out with an angry look on his face. )
Ronan Malosi: (off-mic) GET YOUR ASSES OUT OF HERE! WE’RE BUSY!
( The sounds of Tim McGraw’s song, “Something Like That” can be heard blasting from the speakers of the vehicle. )
🎵 I had a barbecue stain on my white t-shirt 🎵
🎵 You were killing me in that miniskirt 🎵
🎵 Skippin’ rocks on the river by the railroad tracks 🎵
( Sierra looks from Ronan to Alissa and makes a disgusted face. )
Sierra Bradford: (off-mic) Is THIS your idea of make-out music??
🎵 You had a suntan line and red lipstick 🎵
🎵 I worked so hard for that first kiss 🎵
🎵 And a heart don’t forget something like that 🎵
Alissa Brady: (off-mic) Bitch I know you’re not standing there talking shit about our taste in music when your boyfriend has to fucking cleanse himself with Holy water, listen to hymnals, and say three Hail Marys every time he gives you a side hug.
Sierra Bradford: (off-mic) :picard:
🎵 Like an old photograph 🎵
🎵 Time can make a feeling fade 🎵
🎵 But the memory of a first love 🎵
🎵 Never fades away 🎵
( Alissa climbs back into the truck and Ronan slams the door shut. Sierra shudders. )
Rich Russillo: (singing) 🎵 I had a barbeque stain on my white t-shirt. Seph, you’re killing me in that miniskirt… 🎵
Persephone: no.
Stew-O: HARPER LEE WITH A LOW BLOW!
Persephone: SHE JUST PUNCHED SIERRA RIGHT IN THE CROTCH! :mjlol2:
Rich Russillo: SIERRA CLUTCHES HER LADY BITS AND DROPS DOWN TO HER KNEES! ‘DRAGON FIST’!!! HARPER WITH A HUGE RIGHT HOOK THAT DAMN NEAR TOOK SIERRA’S HEAD OFF! HARPER THROWS HERSELF DOWN ON TOP OF SIERRA AND THE REFEREE QUICKLY GETS DOWN FOR THE COVER!!!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEE-
Stew-O: SIERRA IS ABLE TO KICK OUT! HARPER SEEMS FRUSTRATED NOW! SHE FLIPS SIERRA OVER, GRABS HER HAIR, AND DRIVES SIERRA’S FACE INTO THE PAVEMENT SEVERAL TIMES! SHE JERKS HER UP AND LOOKS TO THROW HER INTO A CAR, BUT SIERRA IS ABLE TO CONNECT WITH A KICK TO HARPER’S MID-SECTION, AND IT’S SIERRA WHO IS ABLE TO BREAK FREE! SHE DRIVES HER SHOULDER INTO HARPER’S STOMACH AND SHE FORCES HER BACK AGAINST A BLACK LEXUS LFA NURBURGRING!!!!
Persephone: :lupe: Isn’t that HRDO’s car?
Rich Russillo: :yikes: SIERRA SLAMS THE BACK OF HARPER’S HEAD INTO THE DRIVER’S SIDE WINDOW AND THROWS HER ONTO THE HOOD OF THE CAR!
Persephone: Yo, I’m googling this car and did you know that like only 500 of these were ever made??? :yikes:
Stew-O: SIERRA HAS JUMPED ON TOP OF THE HOOD OF CAR AND LAYS HARPER OUT FLAT! SIERRA CLIMBS TO THE ROOF NOW, AND THERE IS A DIVING DOUBLE FOOT STOMP TO HARPER’S STOMACH!!!
Persephone: Well that surely put a dent in a rather expensive, and rather exclusive luxury car.
Rich Russillo: :lupe: Well there goes the windshield. Sierra just put Harper’s head through it!
???: (off-mic) HEY! LEAVE THAT CAR ALONE!
( HRDO has come running out to the parking lot to check on his precious car. Unfortunately, it’s a bit too late. )
Sierra Bradford: (off-mic): :lupe: I am so sorry.
Persephone: Sierra carelessly rips Harper out of that glass and throws her down to the ground! She quickly drapes her body across Harper’s and hooks the leg!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEE-
Sierra Bradford: :noah:
Stew-O: Absolutely incredible resilience shown here by Harper Lee! Sierra has basically thrown everything but the kitchen sink at her, but she continues to fight. Sierra gets up and looks around, desperately trying to figure out what to do next. She finally gets up, helping Harper to her feet, and she wraps Harper in a sleeper! She maintains the sleeper as she drags her back towards the building.
Rich Russillo: It looks like they’re about to come back inside BUT THE DOOR JUST SWUNG OPEN! IT HIT SIERRA AS SHE WAS GOING TO OPEN IT, AND THERE’S XIMENA! SHE’S BACK! HARPER HAS SLID OUT OF SIERRA’S CLUTCHES AND RIGHT NOW, SIERRA IS HOLDING HER HEAD WHERE THAT DOOR SMACKED HER! XIMEMA RAKES THE BACK OF SIERRA BRADFORD AND DRIVES HER KNEE INTO SIERRA’S KIDNEY AREA! SHE QUICKLY PICKS HER UP BY THE ARMS, SPINS HER AROUND, AND GLAM SLAMS HER DOWN ONTO A METAL RAILING! SIERRA’S NECK SNAPS BACK AT A VIOLENT ANGLE!!!!
Persephone: XIMENA IS PICKING UP HARPER AND SLAPPING HER A BIT TO GET HER TO WAKE UP! HARPER HAS BEEN PUT THROUGH THE RINGER IN THIS MATCH BUT THANKS TO XIMENA, SHE MAY VERY WELL HAVE A NEW LEASE ON LIFE NOW!
Rich Russillo: SHE MIGHT, BUT I THINK SHE’S STILL OUT OF IT! :lupe:
Stew-O: I think you’re right, Rich. Ximena drops Harper and goes back to Sierra! SHE LIFTS HER UP WITH ONE HAND AND THERE IS ‘XV’!!! XIMENA WITH THE ONE-HANDED POWERBOMB TO SIERRA, AND SIERRA IS SPRAWLED OUT ON THE GROUND! XIMENA GRABS HARPER AND THROWS HER ON TOP OF SIERRA, AND THIS MATCH IS OVER!!!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
Persephone: :blessed: IT’S FINALLY OVER!!!!
Stew-O: Wait… no. LOOK! The referee is pointing at Sierra’s shoulder! It’s slightly raised because she landed on a beer bottle! Her shoulder is up by literal inches and that has just saved her in this match!
Persephone: As if we needed another shitty moment like that. All that does is give me PTSD to when Terry landed on that stupid ball in the chamber, and we were forced to watch him beat SOSA for the world championship. Never again do I ever wanted to be subjected to a Terry Chambers title reign :kellycry:
Rich Russillo: Well I think right now, Sierra Bradford is just grateful that the match is still going. Ximena honestly looks pissed and she kicks the bottle out from under Sierra and demands the referee count again!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEE-
Stew-O: Sierra is able to kick out this time!
Rich Russillo: Ximena is fed up and she snatches both women up, throwing them back inside! These two are back inside SoFi Stadium now and neither one seems to be able to get to their feet! Ximena drags them both back towards the stage and here they come! Sierra and Harper are both back out now thanks to La Diosa, but neither one is able to get up! The former Unified Tag Team Champions are laying on the stage, looking up at the sky. They have waged an absolute war tonight and neither woman seems to be in a position to finish this match right now.
Persephone: The big bitch has backed off for now, but she is shouting at Harper Lee to get up. Harper is trying to get into a sitting position, but it’s clear that it’s an absolute struggle right now. Sierra has managed to turn on her side and curl her legs up. It’s never a good sign when someone gets themselves into the fetal position in the middle of a fight :mjlol:
Stew-O: I think Harper may be coming too. She is literally picking glass out of her hair right now where she went through that windshield. The amount of actual abuse these two have endured during this streetfight has been absolutely insane. Neither woman will ever be the same again after tonight is over with.
Rich Russillo: Harper sees Ximena encouraging her to get up and finish the match off! Harper starts crawling towards Sierra and she lands a punch to her ribs. Sierra barely reacts and Harper takes that as a sign to continue beating on her! There is so much rage and anger inside of Harper Lee, and she seems determined to get it all out right now. She continues to wail away on Sierra, and finally just goes for the pin!
Persephone: The referee can’t even get into position before Sierra is already kicking out! Harper shoots Ximena a look of absolute desperation, but La Diosa is holding back! She wants Harper to finish this on her own! Harper has no other choice but to get to her feet right now. She pulls Sierra up and somehow, painstakingly hoists Sierra across her shoulders! Harper makes her way towards the edge of the stage and I think she is going to throw Sierra off of it!!!!
Stew-O: BUT LOOK! SIERRA REVERSES IT INTO A CRUCIFIX BOMB RIGHT THERE ON THE STAGE AND SHE’S GOT HARPER PINNED! SIERRA IS GOING TO WIN THIS MATCH!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: HARPER LIVES! HARPER LIVES! SHE IS GOING TO CONTINUE FIGHTING TO STAY IN THIS MATCH!
Stew-O: SIERRA FALLS BACK BECAUSE THAT TOOK SO MUCH OF HER ENERGY! HARPER IS ABLE TO CRAWL ON TOP OF HER AND SHE STARTS PEPPERING SIERRA WITH FOREARMS! SIERRA IS ABLE TO TOSS HARPER TO THE SIDE, THE ADRENALINE KICKING IN ONCE AGAIN, AND ALLOWING HER TO FIGHT BACK! SHE GREETS AN INCOMING HARPER WITH A KICK TO THE GUT AND SIERRA TOSSES HARPER TOWARDS THE EDGE OF THE STAGE! HARPER MANAGES TO KEEP HERSELF FROM FALLING BUT SIERRA COMES FLYING AT HER! SIERRA WITH A RUNNING KNEE!!!!
Persephone: HARPER MOVES! SIERRA HAS TO PUT THE BRAKES ON BUT SHE’S FLAILING HER ARMS, TRYING TO KEEP HER BALANCE! HARPER FROM BEHIND! SHE SNATCHES SIERRA UP AND THERE’S A SPANISH FLY! SPANISH FLY FROM HARPER! BOTH OF THEM FLY THROUGH THE AIR AND COME CRASHING DOWN ONTO A PILE OF SOUND EQUIPMENT!!!!
Rich Russillo: NEITHER WOMAN IS MOVING A MUSCLE! BOTH OF THEM ARE COMPLETELY OUT OF IT NOW! THE REFEREE HAS MADE HIS WAY DOWN TO CHECK ON BOTH COMPETITORS, BUT THEY ARE NOT MOVING! I’M NOT SURE WHAT CAN BE DONE AT THIS POINT!
Stew-O: The referee holds up an arm from each woman and lets them both drop! He’s got no choice but to start the 10-count, and here comes Ximena! She’s not going to let it end like this. She grabs Harper and Sierra and starts to drag them both out of the wreckage!
Persephone: WE STAN A CONSERVATIVE MEXICAN QUEEN WHO WANTS TO KEEP THE MATCH GOING!
Rich Russillo: XIMENA HAS PULLED THEM BOTH BACK ONTO THE RAMP AND IS HEADING FOR THE RING! SHE THROWS SIERRA INSIDE THE RING FIRST, AND HELPS HARPER UP! XIMENA SHAKES HER PARTNER TO GET HER AWAKE BEFORE ROLLING HER BACK INSIDE! HARPER IS SLIGHTLY COHERENT NOW AND SHE QUICKLY CRAWLS OVER TO SIERRA!!!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
Stew-O: HOW?? JUST HOW??? HOW IN THE WORLD IS SIERRA BRADFORD STILL ABLE TO GET HER SHOULDER UP?
Persephone: A pain slut, I guess.
Rich Russillo: This whole season we have seen Sierra Bradford test herself time and time again. Things haven’t always gone in her favor, but she has continued to fight and show herself to be one of the most talented and inspiring people in this entire company.
Stew-O: Well Harper doesn’t look so inspired. She looks absolutely enraged. She beats Sierra in the back of the head a few times before rolling out of the ring and dropping to the ground. Harper begins to pull out absolutely everything you can imagine! She has a table! She has a ladder! She has a can of gasoline! She’s got a lighter! She throws the ladder and the table in the ring, and she clutches the lighter in her hands! She rolls back inside and cuts Sierra off, who is crawling towards the corner, and she ignites the lighter!
Persephone: HARPER IS BRINGING THE FLAME DOWN TO SIERRA’S FACE BUT SIERRA WITH KICK AFTER KICK! SHE BEGINS KICKING THE ABSOLUTE SHIT OUT OF HARPER, FORCING HER BACK! THE LIGHTER DROPS FROM HARPER’S HANDS AND SIERRA DIVES FOR IT! SIERRA HAS THE LIGHTER AND AS HARPER GOES TO GRAB HER SIERRA IS ABLE TO BURN HARPER! HARPER SCREAMS AND GRABS HER HAND, HOLDING IT TO HER CHEST AND NOW SIERRA BEGINS TO STAB AT HARPER WITH THE LIGHTER! SHE IS TORTURING HER RIGHT NOW! SIERRA IS CLICKING THE LIGHTER ON AND LEAVING LITTLE BURNS ALL OVER HARPER’S ARMS AND BACK! SIERRA WITH A SPINNING HEEL KICK, THAT TAKES HARPER TO THE GROUND, AND SHE IS DOWN ON THE MAT!
Rich Russillo: SIERRA IS DOWN BESIDE HARPER AND SHE JERKS HARPER’S HEAD BACK! SIERRA WRAPS HER ARM AROUND HARPER’S THROAT AND SHE FORCES HARPER’S MOUTH OPEN! SIERRA IS ABOUT TO TAKE HER REVENGE! WE HAVE WATCHED SEVERAL TIMES AS HARPER HAS TRIED TO PRY SIERRA’S TONGUE FROM HER MOUTH! NOW SIERRA IGNITES THE LIGHTER ONCE AGAIN AND SHE SHOVES IT IN HARPER’S MOUTH!
Stew-O: Dear God… you Voltage people are savages…
Persephone: YAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSS!! I HAVE WAITED ALL FUCKING NIGHT FOR SOMETHING THIS EXCITING ESPECIALLY AFTER THE DUMB FUCKING CUNT BEAT REX FOR NO REASON! THIS IS AMAZING!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: HARPER LEE’S SCREAMS ARE ABSOLUTELY EXCRUCIATING! BLOOD IS OOZING FROM HER MOUTH! SIERRA FINALLY DROPS THE LIGHTER AND LETS HARPER GO! HARPER IS CLAWING AT HER FACE, SCREAMING IN AGONY, WHICH IS NOT GOING TO HELP THE BURNS THAT ARE NO DOUBT IN HER MOUTH RIGHT NOW! SHE CONTINUES TO COUGH UP BLOOD AND CHOKE, AND SIERRA KNOWS THAT THE END IS NEAR! SHE THROWS THE LIGHTER TO THE OUTSIDE AND FORCES HERSELF UP!
Stew-O: SHE BRINGS HARPER UP WITH HER AND IRISH WHIPS HER INTO THE CORNER! HARPER SOMEHOW REMAINS STANDING, BUT SIERRA HAS THE LADDER AND SHE RAMS IT RIGHT INTO HARPER’S MID-SECTION!
Persephone: SIERRA PLACES THE LADDER IN FRONT OF HARPER AND SHOWING OFF A BURST OF ENERGY… SHE RACES TO THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE RING! SIERRA TAKES OFF! HANDSPRING BACK ELBOW INTO THE LADDER! SHE CRUSHES HARPER AGAINST THE TURNBUCKLES! SIERRA THROWS THE LADDER TO THE SIDE, DRAGS HARPER OUT OF THE CORNER, AND THERE IT IS!!! ‘SELF DESTRUCTOR’!!! THE BACK BREAKER RACK INTO A KNEE LIFT CONNECTS AND HARPER LEE IS OUT!!!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
Stew-O: HARPER’S FOOT IS POSITIONED UNDER THE ROPES! SIERRA THOUGHT SHE HAD ENOUGH SPACE TO MAKE THE PIN!
Rich Russillo: AND LOOK AT THE EYES OF SIERRA BRADFORD! SHE IS ABSOLUTELY CRUSHED! SHE KNOWS THAT SHE HAD THE MATCH WON RIGHT THERE AND SHE DIDN’T TAKE THE EXTRA SECOND TO DOUBLE CHECK HER RING POSITIONING! SHE PULLS HARPER AWAY FROM THE ROPES AND ONCE AGAIN GOES FOR THE PIN!!!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
Persephone: HARPER KICKS OUT!
Rich Russillo: SIERRA PUNCHES THE MAT AND LETS OUT A FRUSTRATED CRY! SHE HAS TO FOCUS AND PUT HARPER AWAY! SIERRA FINALLY DRAGS HERSELF UP AND SHE GRABS HARPER TOO! SIERRA IS ATTEMPTING TO SET HER UP FOR ‘CLOUD 9’, WHICH IS HER ULTIMATE FINISHER, BUT HARPER WITH ANOTHER LOW BLOW! SHE DESPERATELY SAVED HERSELF JUST NOW AND SHE CRAWLS OVER TO THE ROPES. SIERRA IS IN OBVIOUS PAIN AND HARPER USES THE ROPES TO PULL HERSELF UP!
Stew-O: SIERRA IS ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE RING AND SHE HAS PULLED HERSELF UP! THESE TWO FORMER FRIENDS LOOK AT ONE ANOTHER AND THERE IS NO LOVE LOST AT ALL! THEY STAGGER TO THE CENTER OF THE RING AND START THROWING HANDS! SIERRA AND HARPER ARE EXCHANGING FOREARMS! IT’S HARPER! IT’S SIERRA! IT’S HARPER! IT’S SIERRA! HARPER! SIERRA! HARPER! SIERRA! SIERRA! SIERRA! SI-
Persephone: BLISTERING HEADBUTT FROM HARPER! THE FORCE OF THAT HEADBUTT KNOCKS BOTH WOMEN TO THE GROUND! HARPER IS THE FIRST TO RECOVER AND SHE GOES RIGHT FOR THE LADDER! SIERRA FOLLOWS SUIT AND NOW BOTH OF THESE IDIOTS ARE PLAYING TUG-OF-WAR! IT IS HARPER WHO GETS CONTROL OF THE LADDER AND SHE SETS IT UP! SHE STARTS TO CLIMB, BUT SIERRA IS HOT ON HER HEELS!
Rich Russillo: BOTH MAKE THEIR WAY UP THE LADDER, TRADING SHOTS AS THEY GO! NEITHER WOMAN WANTS TO LOSE THIS MATCH, AND THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY GIVING IT THEIR ALL! HARPER AND SIERRA COME TO A STOP AT THE TOP, AND IT’S SIERRA WHO HITS HARPER WITH A FOREARM! HARPER FIRES BACK WITH SEVERAL RIGHT HANDS AND SHE GOES TO BOUNCE SIERRA’S FACE OFF THE TOP OF THE LADDER! SIERRA BLOCKS AND TRIES TO KNOCK HARPER BACK WITH AN ELBOW, BUT HARPER ANTICIPATED IT!
Stew-O: ‘DIRTY FIREWORKS’!!! THE AVALANCHE SWINGING NECKBREAKER OFF THE TOP OF THE LADDER!!!! HOLY SHIT! WHAT AN INCREDIBLE MOVE BY HARPER LEE!!
Persephone: XIMENA IS SCREAMING AT HARPER TO PIN SIERRA BUT HARPER HAS ANOTHER IDEA! SHE PULLS HERSELF UP AND KICKS SIERRA ONTO HER STOMACH! SHE DRAGS HER TOWARDS THE LADDER AND PLACES HER FACE DOWN ACROSS THE BOTTOM RUNG OF THE LADDER. HARPER SNATCHES BACK SIERRA’S ARMS AND THERE’S ‘SLEEPING ON THE FLOOR’! THE ARM TRAPPED CURB STOMP TO THE BOTTOM RUNG OF THE LADDER! SIERRA’S MOUTH IS BUSTED OPEN AND BLOOD IS POURING ONTO THE CANVAS! HARPER GRABS HER AND DOES IT AGAIN, AND AGAIN, AND AGAIN! ‘IT’S ONE OF THOSE NIGHTS’ Y’ALL!!!!
Rich Russillo: THE REFEREE INTERVENES AND CALLS FOR THE BELL, PULLING HARPER AWAY!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stephie Love: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN… HERE IS YOUR WINNER… HARPER LEE!!!!
Stew-O: HARPER LEE WINS THE MATCH BUT SHE SHOVES THE REFEREE OUT OF THE WAY! HARPER’S NOT DONE WITH SIERRA! SHE IS GOING TO END HER CAREER! SHE GRABS THE TABLE AND BEGINS TO SET IT UP!
Persephone: XIMENA IS IN THE RING, AND SHE IS TRYING TO STOP HARPER!
Ximena Velasquez: (off-mic) What are you doing? You won the match. It is over.
Harper Lee: (off-mic) This is not over until I say that it is, and that victory is not enough. I was always going to win, but now she has to suffer.
Rich Russillo: :lupe: HARPER PUSHES XIMENA OUT OF THE WAY AND DROPS TO THE OUTSIDE. SHE COLLECTS THE LIGHTER AND THE GASOLINE, AND SHE BEGINS TO DUMP THE GAS ON THE TABLE :lupe:!
Persephone: :ciampa: Oh my god yes…. YES! SHE IS GOING TO SET THE BITCH ON FIRE!
Stew-O: HARPER SETS THE TABLE ON FIRE AND SHE IS SCREAMING AT XIMENA TO GRAB SIERRA! XIMENA IS SHAKING HER HEAD AND HARPER IS IN ABSOLUTE DISBELIEF!
Harper Lee: (off-mic) What do you mean, no?
Ximena Velasquez: (off-mic) She is done. You won. You had the last word.
Harper Lee: (off-mic) PICK HER UP AND PUT HER THROUGH THE TABLE!
( Ximena folds her muscular arms across her chest and raises an eyebrow at Harper. )
Ximena Velasquez: (off-mic) No.
Persephone: HARPER LEE JUST SLAPPED LA DIOSA ACROSS THE FACE! XIMENA LOOKS FUCKING PISSED!
Harper Lee: (off-mic) DO WHAT I TOLD YOU TO DO! PICK HER UP AND PUT HER THROUGH THE TABLE. NOW.
Rich Russillo: :lupe: XIMENA IS STARING A HOLE RIGHT AT HARPER, ABSOLUTELY IN DISBELIEF THAT HARPER HAD THE NERVE TO SLAP HER. HARPER CONTINUES TO BERATE XIMENA AND FINALLY XIMENA HAS HAD ENOUGH. SHE GOES FOR SIERRA, WHO STILL HASN’T MOVED AND SHE PICKS HE-
Stew-O: :damn: XIMENA KICKS HARPER IN THE FACE!!! ‘PA’ LA RAZA’!!!! THE WESTERN LARIAT CONNECTS ON HARPER, SENDING HER SPRAWLING ONTO THE MAT! XIMENA QUICKLY REACHES DOWN AND JERKS HARPER UP, RAGDOLLING HER, AND SWITCHING TO ONE HAND! XIMENA LIFTS HARPER UP AND SHE PUTS HER THROUGH THE FLAMING TABLE WITH ‘XV’!!!!! HOLY SHIT!!!!
( The referee quickly rushes back into the ring with a fire extinguisher and starts to put out the flames licking Harper Lee’s broken body. )
Persephone: :gladbron: THAT WAS AMAZING! AFTER THAT FUCKING MATCH, WITH THAT MUCH CARNAGE… BOTH OF THESE BITCHES END UP DEAD!
( Ximena Velasquez has turned her attention to Sierra Bradford. She rolls her to the edge of the ring, gets out, and then grabs Sierra, slinging her over shoulder like a sack of potatoes. Ximena carries Sierra to the back while the camera focuses in on Harper who doesn’t look like much of a winner tonight after all. )
(Pain for Pride fades to the Showdown announce table)
Deadprez: Ladies and gentlemen this has been an outstanding evening however, we have now arrived at the main event. A bitter rivalry over the desire to dictate one’s fate. The contradictory paths these two Elitists walk have led us to these final showdown where only one can walk away victorious. Will it be the King in her conquest for immortality or will the curtains fall on an all time career once and for all?
(The camera fades to the final graphic for Day Two)
(The crowd erupts in cheers at the announcement of tonight’s main event. The camera fades back to the ring where Gina Romano is standing by)
Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS YOUR MAIN EVENT OF THE EVENING, SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL, IS FOR THE ANSWERS WWWWOOOOORRRRRLLLLDDDDD CCCCHHHAAAAMMMMPPPIIIIOOONNNNSSSSHHHIIIIPPPPP!!!!!
(Cheers erupt throughout the stadium in immense anticipation for the upcoming match)
Gina Romano: **AND IT WILL BE NO DISQUALIFICATIONS!!!**
(The iconic opening to “Kashmir” by Led Zeppelin explodes throughout the stadium as the crowd roars with applause. Tonight, there is no fancy entrance. No incredible display, nothing more than the Ace himself standing in the middle of the stage. He soaks in the crowd, the atmosphere of it all for perhaps the last time. Yet with a stoic, determined look on his face, he heads towards the ring)
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST, THE CHALLENGER! FROM MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA, NOW RESIDING IN LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA!!! WEIGHING IN AT ONE HUNDRED AND NINTY POUNDS!!! HE IS…”THE IMMORTAL ACE”, “THE ASCENDED MASTER”, “THE GREATEST WORLD CHAMPION OF ALL TIME”. HE IS THE “GAWDSLAYER”, “THE UNRIVALLED”, THE “OMNIPOTENT ONE” AND ABOVE ALL ELSE…HE IS THE ACE OF ELITE ANSWERS WRESTLING!!! JJJJAAAAMMMMIIIIIIEEEE OOOOOOOOOOOOOO’HHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Deadprez: Ahead of what might just be his final Pain For Pride match ever, I asked Jamie O’Hara if he has any regrets. He simply has none. For the past seven years, it’s hard to argue that anyone has had an impact on this company as much as he has. The records and the accolades, the amount of victories he has, the way in which he has been a force to be reckoned with, there are near endless ways to speak highly of O’Hara yet one word defines him best: Ace. Someone who excels at any one thing and I struggle to find anyone since 2014 who has excelled any better than Jamie O’Hara.
Eve: You keep mentioning that ‘perhaps’ because so much has changed since April. That sense of certainty that hung on every word the Ace spoke back then has slowly withered away, slowly become less and less so. That refusal to flat out say that it’s the end, we can only *assume* It’s the end and nothing more. On Showdown he couldn’t say it, he couldn’t say with that same certainty of what the future holds EXCEPT that tonight he will walk out of Pain For Pride as the Answers World Champion once again, just as he did a year ago.
(Before Jamie enters the ring, he takes a turn and heads towards a corner of the ringside area. There, Jamie’s mother Beverley and Cameron’s mother Carmen sit with Jamie’s song Hathaway. Jamie picks his son up and smiles warmly, giving him a hug and resting him on his chest for a brief moment. He hands his son back to Carmen before entering the ring)
Gavin Kirkland: Becoming a father changes most people. He’s a man who is torn between two worlds, both as attractive as the other and both have a gravitational pull pulling him in both directions. This is someone who for over seven years has accomplished so much in his career, that impact you spoke of Deadprez speaks for itself. We will never see another Jamie O’Hara, we will never see someone have the kind of seven year run that he has had. As hard as it may be to process this, maybe this is an appropriate end for him.
(Jamie O’Hara settles in the far corner of the ring, resting against the ropes with his attention focused on the stage as “Kashmir” dies out)
🎵 I shoot the lights out
Hide ’til it’s bright out
Whoa, just another lonely night
Are you willing to sacrifice your life?
Ahh– 🎵
(The broadcast glitches to a still, cutting “Monster” by Kanye West out. After a brief pause, it rewinds back several seconds)
🎵 I shoot the lights out
Hide ’til it’s bright out
Whoa, just another lonely night
Are you willing to sacrifice your life?
Ahh– 🎵
(Once more the music cuts and the broadcast skips back several seconds)
🎵 I shoot the lights out
Hide ’til it’s bright out
Whoa, just another lonely night
Are you willing to sacrifice your life?
Ahh– 🎵
(A third time it cuts but rather than the broadcast skipping back, the broadcast cuts to a black screen. The scene fades to a bleak, concrete room where Kassidy Heart sits. Around her throat is a strap with an orange square at the end. Dressed in a beige jumpsuit, she does little to acknowledge her surroundings. An unidentifiable man paces back and forth. A projector shines across the wall, including Kassidy herself. The images show less desirable moments throughout her career, many Kass would rather ignore. The unidentifiable man walks back and forth in front of the projector, casting his large shadow over Kassidy, who remains unwavering)
Narrator: I want to know, what makes these moments your past? What makes these moments anything but your future? You can boil it down no differently. You lose. You get discarded. You get tossed aside. You get overlooked. Frustrated. Upset. I want to know, what makes the past year any different? What is it that ticks in your mind to have brought you to this point where you feel like it will never be the same again?
(As the projector cuts off, the man points to something offscreen. An orange glow begins to illuminate the room. Kassidy rises out of her seat and the camera follows. Standing before her, a large orange obelisk stands)
Narrator: Walk through there and show me.
(Hesitant at first, Kassidy steps through the portal and enters a familiar place. Pain For Pride 13. She stands on the stage as “Unfuckwithable” blares through the speakers and Sienna Jade celebrates her National Elite victory. After a moment, a referee helps a clearly disorientated Kassidy Heart to the stage, brushing past the present Kassidy Heart)
Narrator: Defeat, no matter how bittersweet you find it or how you find contentment with it, drives people to realise their ambitions. Whether to forget or be pushed in a direction by no other reason but mere progress and growth. But it stings, doesn’t it? Where did it take you?
(A new orange portal emerges to her left and Kassidy, wanting to remove herself from this moment, steps right through. This time she emerges at the 2020 EAW Draft at the EAW Performance Centre. Her former self stands in the ring making a promise that she would become the Answers World Champion, threatening Jamie O’Hara)
Narrator: Hey. How much of that is fulfilled? Not all of it, right? And I know that deep down it bothers you. It wasn’t just becoming the Answers World Champion…it was beating him too, wasn’t it? Let’s continue.
(Once more, a portal opens and Kassidy moves through it. This time she stands on top of the Hell In A Cell structure, looking down at herself and Dr. Bethany Blue falling into the flames below. Kassidy smirks as the unidentifiable man leans over her shoulder)
Narrator: I’m amazed that you survived that. Like, that’s kinda badass. :lupe:
Narrator: Defeated, yes and that promise made beforehand remained unfulfilled but in this moment you showed everyone just how far you were willing to go in order to achieve everything you desired. A personal victory? A moment to savour? A leap forward in your career? Come on, only a few more now…
(She proceeds to walk through the third orange portal. She emerges the other side with shorter hair and her bandages removed. Instead of a moment from the past, it is an entirely different world. stone pillars shoot up both sides of her, with banners hanging down, as she makes her way down a red carpet. At the very end is a throne with the King of Elite crown resting on top of it. Kassidy plucks the crown from the throne and takes a seat for a brief moment.)
Narrator: Now this is what I was talking about. How Kassidy Heart became King Kass. A victor. Ruler. Conqueror. This is the moment, where your past becomes your past and your future entirely your’s to dictate.
(Kassidy steps away from the throne and begins to head back down from where she came, with the King of Elite crown still resting on her head. The orange portal once again stands and she steps through; this time she walks down an illuminated path, lined with large lights in an otherwise dark void of space. The Answers World Champion is present around her waist and she passes by several bloody bodies lying either side of this runway)
Narrator: Closer and closer you have inched towards that desire, that dream of becoming the greatest. What you feel belongs to you, what you feel entitled to. King. Champion. Yet unfilled, still seeking so much more. However, I can see it. The rise and rise of Kassidy Heart into who she stands here today as. The Champion that you are on the precipice of greatness. So go and seize your destiny, achieve your immortality.
(Finally, Kassidy enters the last portal. As she emerges on the other side of it, the Answers World Championship remains visible around her waist, the metal cast wrapped around her right arm. Her attire has an additional, metallic sleeve that runs up the rest of her right arm with a similar cut design as her cast and she brandishes a large assault rifle in both hands. The orchestral music comes to a sudden halt, as Kassidy raises the weapon and fires it. One by one, the bright lights shining down on her cut out for all but one. The music looping in the background cuts out a swell, as the crowd buzzes. The camera remains fixated on Kassidy who throws the rifle away)
🎵 I shoot the lights out
Hide ’til it’s bright out
Whoa, just another lonely night
Are you willing to sacrifice your life?
Ahh 🎵
(Once again “Monster” by Kanye West hits as the camera slowly turns around to show the final portal had led her to Pain For Pride. She stands on the stage in all her glory soaking in the atmosphere of the main event yet never wavering from her overflowing belief of supremacy. For the journey she had taken to come this far was worth it just to be standing in this very moment)
Gina Romano: AND HIS OPPONENT. FROM SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA!!! WEIGHING IN ONE HUNDRED, THIRTY EIGHT AND A HALF POUNDS! SHE IS…”THE MAULER”, “THE CROWN JEWEL”, “QUEEN OF THE ULTRAVIOLENT”, “GAWD’S GREATEST GIFT”!! AND SHE IS….THE REIGNING AND DEFENDING ANSWERS WWWWOOOOORRRRRLLLLDDDDD CCCCHHHAAAAMMMMPPPIIIIOOONNNNSSSSHHHIIIIPPPPP!!!!! KKKKKIIIIIINNNNNNGGGGGG KKKKKKAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!
Eve: THE SOLDIER BORN FROM SYDNEY WALKS TOWARDS HER FATE, WALKS TOWARDS HER DESTINY. THE LONG JOURNEY OF THE PAST TWELVE MONTHS CULMINATES HERE TONIGHT AT PAIN FOR PRIDE. YES, SHE IS THE CHAMPION. YES, SHE STANDS TALL OVER THE REST OF SHOWDOWN, BUT THIS IS WHERE THAT JOURNEY ENDS. WHETHER SHE WILL REMAIN CHAMPION OR NOT WILL BE DECIDED IN THE NEXT FORTY FIVE PLUS MINUTES.
Deadprez: Kassidy Heart becomes the second woman to walk into the main event of Pain For Pride with a World Championship around her waist that isn’t the Universal Women’s Championship or previous women’s division Championship. However she will look to become the first woman to ever successfully win their match. Yet to do just that, she will have her toughest challenge yet. In only her second defense of the Answers World Championship, Kassidy Heart MUST DEFEAT the Ace. Arguably one of the most difficult obstacles to overcome, enough so that it’s worthy of being its own feat.
Gavin Kirkland: This was the match that Kassidy Heart wanted. This is the match that she demanded from Jamie O’Hara back at Grand Rampage. She refused to let him go away, she refused to let him say goodbye on his terms and dragged him back to the world of EAW. No Disqualifications, no matter what The Mauler is, no matter what Kassidy Heart has done throughout her career, she has to answer for everything she has done to Jamie O’Hara and those closest to him over the last two months.
(“Monster” dies down and both competitors prepare themselves for the match ahead. The crowd’s anticipation rises as the referee signals for the bell)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Deadprez: Ladies and gentlemen, one of the most anticipated, bloodied and bitterly personal matches in years is officially underway. We have been waiting for this match for weeks on end, ever since it was first teased all the way back at Grand Rampage. The King, Kassidy Heart challenging the Ace, Jamie O’Hara in what might be his final match and we have finally arrived here tonight having taken twists and turns nobody could have anticipated.
Eve: The tension is rising as both the Champion and the challenger exchange those ice cold, deadly glares at one another. This rivalry as you mentioned Deadprez has become so bitterly personal as their lives beyond simply the ring and Championships have been dragged into it. The pure hatred that exists between both competitors quickly fested into their minds and now it’s not good enough to just ‘beat’ the other, it’s a necessity to all but eradicate them from this business.
Gavin Kirkland: I truly fear for the health and safety of both of them, even Kassidy despite this heathen’s antics to make this match a reality. No Disqualifications, opens up a dangerous world of possibilities to be exploited completely and utterly by both. The Mauler, with such a lust for destruction and carnage. The Ace, so creative in his use of all elements around him. I don’t think much of this ring is going to be left standing
Deadprez: Neither competitor moving an inch from their respective corners, eyes locked on the other as the temperature rises inside SoFi Stadium and it isn’t the summer heat lingering into the night. Both Champion and challenger, both King and Ace walk into this modern day colosseum bearing the wounds from the hate and disdain from the other.
Eve: The referee not even motioning for them to begin, allowing both competitors to take their time, approach this match at their own pace but it’s Jamie who takes the first step towards the middle as Kassidy shifts to the right with caution. O’Hara’s step quickens as Kassidy remains focused, as not to misstep and slip up. But feeling the unease of the situation she slides out of the ring.
Deadprez: Wise decision from the Champion. Perhaps it’s the nerve of the bright lights of the main event getting to her but I’m sure she will adjust as this match goes on. This of course isn’t the first time for Jamie O’Hara. He’s thrived under these bright lights for years with this being a staggering fourth main event from seven appearances at the greatest stage in our sport. The mountain that exists for Kassidy Heart cannot be understated but if there’s anyone who is well equipped to handle this, it’s the King herself!
(Slowly Kassidy slides back into the ring as Jamie backs up and allows her to re-enter at her own pace. The grin on his face making it apparent he’s aware that he dictates the pace of the match as it is)
Gavin Kirkland: YOU LOVE TO SEE IT! The Ace is in firm control of this match and not even a single strike has been landed yet! His power 🤤!!
Eve: Back to square one with the Champion and Challenger in opposing corners! Not once in these opening minutes have their eyes moved from the other. But now it’s Kassidy who presses O’Hara, moving in but O’Hara doesn’t shift, instead he steps in and meets Kassidy in the center of the ring with a collar and elbow tie up! Jamie gets the advantage with his size and strength transitioning into a side headlock. Kass backs up to the ropes and tries to push Jamie away but Jamie instead maintains the grip and instead slides to the canvas. He rolls Kass over and straight into a pin!
OOONNNEEEE!!!
Deadprez: Kassidy powers out at one and immediately takes the opening to get some distance between herself and O’Hara. And this crowd is certainly enjoying the control the Ace is in to open this match. Experience is absolutely showing it’s hand here. Jamie is already stepping towards the centre of the ring and raises his hand, gesturing to Kassidy to challenge him. The cocky, arrogant smirk of the Ace realising he has the mental advantage at the moment with Kassidy’s hesitation.
Eve: But these are the bright lights that Kassidy Heart has envisioned herself competing under for years. She bottles that hesitation and steps in. Despite the advantage O’Hara has she doesn’t back down. Their fingers meet in the air as both competitors look to dictate the hold– KASS WITH THE KNEE TO THE MIDSECTION! O’Hara guard dropped a little as his attention was pulled elsewhere and Kassidy might just finally get an upper hand over the Ace.
Gavin Kirkland: Kassidy backs Jamie against the ropes and proceeds to send him racing across the outside of the ring. O’Hara charges back but ducks beneath the swinging arm from Kassidy before bouncing back– THRUSTING SIDE KICK! CATCHES JAMIE FLUSH ON THE JAW. RUNNING BICYCLE KICK! DRIVING O’HARA’S HEAD TOWARDS THE CANVAS BUT THE ACE CATCHES HIMSELF, INSTEAD PUSHING HIMSELF AWAY. The one two combination and the momentum of it sends Jamie tumbling through the ropes and to the outside! I hate to say it but Kassidy might be warming up to the occasion!
Deadprez: KASSIDY BACKS UP AND RACES TOWARDS THE ROPES. SUICIDE DIVE!! NO! O’HARA BACK UP THE APRON MANAGES TO CUT HER OFF WITH A FOREARM TO THE JAW! IT KILLS HER MOMENTUM BEFORE JAMIE DROPS HER THROAT ACROSS THE MIDDLE ROPE.
Eve: Just as Kassidy Heart gets a bit of momentum, it’s dashed away by the Ace. His consistency in reaching this place, the main event of Pain For Pride is evident and he’s in good control of the Champion in the opening of this contest.
Gavin Kirkland: THAT’S MY ACE. DON’T LEAVE ME JAMIE. DON’T LEAVE ME AT ALL.
Deadprez: Jamie re-enters the ring and begins to stalk his prey. The Champion isn’t in the most ideal of places with her challenger making it impossible to get any distance. Kassidy scrambles to her feet but she’s bailed up in the corner by O’Hara who proceeds to swiftly connect with a backhand chop. It sucks the oxygen from the lungs of the Answers World Champion as O’Hara clutches the wrist and sends Kassidy reeling towards the opposite corner of the ring.
Eve: But Kassidy gets the foot up and stops herself from colliding with the turnbuckle! KASSIDY CUTS JAMIE OFF WITH A BACK ELBOW! It once again halts the momentum of O’Hara who staggers on his feet. It’s the opening Kassidy has been looking for as she ascends to the second rope! And drops the fist down onto the face of O’Hara! Aiming for the forehead where those stitches from the assault several weeks ago. Jamie comes spinning away from the corner, repeatedly tapping his forehead and checking to see if his opponent drew blood but it takes his attention away…
Deadprez: STEP-UP ENZIGURI! THE BOOT OF KASSIDY HEART ABSOLUTELY COLLECTS JAMIE O’HARA ACROSS THE FACE AND SENDS HIM CRASHING TO THE CANVAS IN A HEAP! KASSIDY MEASURED THAT ONE UP AND DELIVERED AN INCREDIBLE KICK TO THE SIDE OF THE FACE THAT FLOORS THE ACE COMPLETELY!
Gavin Kirkland: NO! SHE CAN’T GET BACK INTO THIS! Jamie tries desperately to clear the cobwebs from his head, fighting to get back to his feet but Kassidy swiftly cuts him back down with a Penalty Kick! FUCK that kick cracked throughout SoFi Stadium and might have left a hole in the middle of my Ace’s beautiful, gorgeous, unmatched physique!! Kassidy drops into the cover.
OOONNNEEEE!!! TTTTWWWWOO–
Eve: Shoulder shot off the canvas, it’s impossible to keep the Ace down over so little. But the grin on Kassidy Heart’s face tells all. The pressure of the Pain For Pride main event is beginning to lift off her shoulders, she’s become acclimated to the occasion. The King of Elite Answers Wrestling, the Answers World Champion in all her glory has arrived.
Deadprez: Kassidy slowly, almost methodically, rises to her feet looking over her opponent who stirs in the ring. Jamie rises to a knee but Kassidy quickly cuts him back down to the canvas with a straight, stiff knee strike! O’Hara’s head snaps back though he tries to rally back. Instead Kassidy takes a step back and immediately comes racing towards O’Hara, collecting him with a sliding knee strike!
Gavin Kirkland: KNEE STRIKES?!?!? THIS IS GIMMICK INFRINGEMENT. SUE HER!!!
Eve: Kassidy Heart’s expertise stretches far and wide, Gavin. We always talk highly of the deadly strikes that exist with Jamie O’Hara’s knees but Kassidy right now is proving that whatever it is Jamie can do, she can do even better. Jamie fires back with a right fist as it connects to the ribs but the King barely lets it bother her as she presses her attack. It backs O’Hara against the ropes once more and Kassidy connects with a forearm right to the jaw! A second and a third immediately follow as she stuns the Ace where he stands!
Deadprez: Kassidy looks to once again send Jamie racing across the ring but instead she fakes him out and connects with a drop toe hold! O’Hara’s face bounces off the canvas but he barely gets time to cover as Kassidy immediately maintains her offense with a stomp to the back! O’Hara arches right into the clutches of the King who locks the Ace in with a Camel Clutch!!
Eve: The submission applying tremendous pressure to the spine of the challenger as Kassidy sinks deeper and deeper with every passing moment. Every inch just ramps the pain that O’Hara must endure, that he must fight through in order to stay alive in this contest. Almost from the moment she locked it in, the discomfort has been visible on Jamie’s face as he scratches and claws on the canvas to try and keep himself from making this awful predicament even worse.
(O’Hara’s fingers dig into the ring canvas as he tries to break free. The crowd claps along encouraging him to continue)
Deadprez: The fibers of the ringmat being ripped away as O’Hara’s desperation becomes more and more evident. Kassidy cinches the submission hold in even deeper, almost sitting down across the spine of her challenger and applying all the pressure she can muster! O’Hara is making no progress in trying to crawl away so he kicks and flails his legs around! Looking to try and lock himself up in the ropes to force a break!
Eve: No Disqualifications means Kassidy doesn’t have to break the hold but she will have to if she wants it to be the reason why he retains here tonight!
Gavin Kirkland: WOW! THE ACE IS SO SMART! UNLIKE EVERYONE WHO WOULD BE THINKING TYING HIMSELF UP IN THE ROPES IN THIS MATCH WOULD BE POINTLESS. I LUH HIM. DON’T LEAVE ME.
Deadprez: Exactly right Eve. Jamie pushes off the canvas, trying to push himself and Kassidy back, closer and closer to the ropes! He stretches his legs as far as he possibly can! His toes flirt with the salvation of the bottom rope…AND HE GETS THERE! O’HARA’S FOOT HITS AND STICKS ON THE BOTTOM ROPE! HE RELAXES A LITTLE AS THE REFEREE MAKES THE COUNT.
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE!
(The referee taps Kassidy on the shoulder, motioning that she cannot win the match with Jamie tied up in the ropes. Disgusted, Kassidy releases the hold)
Eve: Jamie immediately slides out of the ring to get some distance between himself and the Champion and clutches that back when he finally does so. As immortal as his career may be, Jamie O’Hara is indeed a very mortal man and Kassidy Heart remains standing in the ring, gloating and motioning O’Hara to get back in, knowing full well she can pick apart and put an end to his career here tonight.
Deadprez: The dominance of the Champion is shining bright. Whatever concerns you had from the opening minutes of this contest are a distant memory as Kassidy Heart stands as proud and confident of her place as any. She drags her boot across the canvas, marking the line for O’Hara to cross and the face of O’Hara tells all at the displeasure that he has in being in this position. Not having the advantage, not dictating the control of this contest. Jamie slowly and cautiously, just like Kassidy earlier in the match, re-enters the ring.
Eve: BUT BOTH OF THEM IMMEDIATELY CLASH! HEART AND O’HARA TRADE LEFT AND RIGHT FISTS! THE JOY OF BEING IN CONTROL BY KASSIDY BEHIND EVERY BLOW. THE DISDAIN FOR THE LACK OF IT BY JAMIE BEHIND EACH OF HIS! AND IT’S THE KING WHO MANAGES TO GET ONE OVER THE ACE. SHE GETS REPEATED SHOTS OFF AS JAMIE TRIES TO COVER UP DESPERATELY! KASS BEGINS TO AIM FOR THE STITCHES, WANTING TO BUST THEM OPEN AND DRAW BLOOD ONCE MORE BUT O’HARA IS SMART ENOUGH TO PROTECT HIMSELF.
Gavin Kirkland: YES! YES! JAMIE CUTS KASSIDY OFF WITH A KNEE TO THE RIBS! THE POWER OF THE ACE GETTING THROUGH WHEN HE NEEDS IT MOST TO END HER OFFENSE! THE FRAUD RULER TRIES TO REEL AWAY BUT THE ONE TRUE RULER DOESN’T LET THAT HAPPEN! HE DRAGS HER IN AND CONNECTS WITH THE DRAGON SUPLEX! HOLDING THE BRIDGE FOR THE PIN!!!
OOONNNEEEE!!! TTTTWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Deadprez: AND KASSIDY POWERS OUT! BOTH COMPETITORS SCRAMBLE BACK TO THEIR FEET AND ONCE AGAIN MEET IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING BUT IT’S KASSIDY WHO CONNECTS WITH A SPINNING HEEL KICK AS JAMIE ANTICIPATED THE TWO WOULD ONCE MORE THROW PUNCHES BACK AND FORTH. IT ROCKS JAMIE BACK AGAINST THE ROPES BUT HE COMES CHARGING BACK TOWARDS KASSIDY. KASSIDY LOOKING TO CONNECT WITH YET ANOTHER THRUSTING SIDE KICK BUT O’HARA SPINS AWAY. HE TAKES A LEFT TURN AND BOUNCES BACK TO CONNECT WITH THE SLINGBLADE!
Eve: YOU CAN NEVER COUNT THE ACE OUT AS HE SCRAMBLES QUICKLY TO HIS FEET. ALMOST STAGGERING AND COLLAPSING AS HE RACES TO THE CORNER. HE’S LOOKING TO PUT KASSIDY AWAY HERE AND NOW WITH THE GENKI CANNON! O’HARA’S PEARCHED THOUGH KASSIDY RISES, IT DOESN’T MATTER!!! GGGEEEEENNNKKKKIIIIIII CCCCAAAAANNNNNOOOONNNNNNN!!!! THE DIVING DOUBLE FOOT STOMP TO CRUSH THE HOPES AND DREAMS OF THE KING!
Deadprez: BUT KASSIDY MANAGES TO DODGE THE INCOMING CALAMITY AND O’HARA ROLLS THROUGH. JAMIE DIGS THE FEET INTO THE CANVAS AND PIVOTS TO CHARGE RIGHT BACK AT KASSIDY—
Eve: AND KASSIDY HEART CLOCKS JAMIE IN THE FACE WITH THE METAL CAST! We knew it was coming, it was a matter of when not if for Kassidy Heart to utilise the deadly weapon wrapped around the formerly broken – and surely still healing – arm. And I think the traditional wrestling aspects of this match are finished; now it’s going to be the bloody, bitter war that we all expected it to be. The King has stepped aside and now it’s The Mauler who finds herself unleashed in front of this capacity crowd.
Deadprez: Jamie stairs up rather dazed from the impact of the metal being met flush on his face. He’s fortunate, extremely fortunate that the cuts of the design didn’t connect with the stitches. We know exactly the kind of damage that it will do here tonight, it’s something that Jamie O’Hara cannot avoid.
Gavin Kirkland: Please tell me if face won’t end up like Rocky Dennis by the end of this :mjcry:
Eve: Kassidy realises the perilous situation O’Hara finds himself in and immediately swoops down to maintain the assault. O’Hara tries to cover up, protecting the stitches on his forehead as Kassidy uses the metal cast to strike the neck, the jaw, the chest, anywhere that Jamie O’Hara doesn’t have covered or isn’t trying to cover up. The reality of the metal making every blow significantly more impactful than just a regular shot from any foe, stinging O’Hara and some leaving behind small cuts that draw a trickling amount of blood.
Deadprez: The mad genius of The Mauler right behind the design of that cast. Not simply something to look pretty or striking, but with the intent to harm and mame each and every opponent that dares stand in the way. You could even call it the Ace Killer of all things considering the damage it has already done to O’Hara and the damage it will surely do here tonight.
Eve: Jamie keeps trying to cover up but Kassidy’s strikes are relentless! A deep gash begins to form on the left side of Jamie’s neck, Kassidy might be literally going for the jugular here! Jamie alters his guard to try and also protect this new wound from getting any worse but all it does is open the forehead up for Kassidy to strike!
(Kassidy hesitates with the cast and instead grins)
Gavin Kirkland: wait…wait…WAIT IS SHE BITING THE FUCKING STITCHES OUT OF HIS HEAD?!? SHE IS. THIS SICK FUCK IS RIPPING THE ACE’S STITCHES OUT OF HIS SKULL WITH HER OWN TEETH. DRAWING BLOOD FROM THE FOREHEAD OF O’HARA WITH EACH STITCH THAT POPS. I FEEL SICK 🤢
Deadprez: THE TACTICS OF THE MAULER MIGHT BE INCREDIBLY VILE AND DISGUSTING TO SOME BUT THEY GET THE JOB DONE. RIGHT NOW HE’S FORCING BLOOD TO DRAIN FROM THE HEAD OF HER CHALLENGER IN MORE WAYS THAN SIMPLY BASHING THE SKULL IN WITH THE METAL CAST AS SHE HAS DONE PREVIOUSLY ON SHOWDOWN. THE MANY FACETS OF KASSIDY HEART ARE BEING PUT ON DISPLAY BEFORE THE WORLD HERE TONIGHT.
Eve: KASSIDY DRAGS JAMIE BACK TO HIS FEET AND LEAVES HIM TO STAND ON HIS OWN TWO FEET. SHE BACKS UP INTO THE CORNER, A WICKED GRIN ON HER FACE LINING O’HARA UP AS JAMIE, MORE CONCERNED ABOUT THE GASH ON HIS NECK AND THE BLOOD TRICKLING DOWN HIS FOREHEAD, SLOWLY TURNS AROUND…
Deadprez: SSSSPPPPEEEEAAAARRRRRR!!!! KASSIDY HEART CUTS JAMIE O’HARA IN HALF WITH A DEVASTATING SPEAR, A HOMAGE TO HER HUSBAND, THE SAME MOVE THAT ENDED JAMIE O’HARA’S CHAMPIONSHIP ASPIRATIONS BACK AT PAIN FOR PRIDE TWELVE TWO YEARS AGO. SHE MAKES THE COVER, COULD THIS BE IT?!?
OOONNNEEEE!!! TTTTWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!!!! TTTTTHHHHRRRREEEEEE–
Deadprez: THE ACE KICKS OUT BEFORE THE COUNT OF THREE! It was a rough first night of Pain For Pride for the Adams family but Kassidy hopes to at least salvage it and bring the Answers World Championship home. I’m sure she would absolutely love to put Jamie O’Hara away paying respect to her husband but that’s not something that’s promised. The Ace is going to keep fighting no matter what she unleashes.
Gavin Kirkland: Absolutely! With his son watching at ringside, Jamie O’Hara will refuse to let Kassidy Heart beat him here tonight. The will of the Ace is undeniable regardless of the situation. He’s fought back against worse before; the Ace always wins is a tale that defines his legacy.
Eve: All good things must come to an end and so far tonight Kassidy has dominated O’Hara for all but the opening minutes of this match. She is proving herself to be more than capable of standing toe to toe with some of the very best to ever do it in the main event of Pain For Pride!
Deadprez: Kassidy once again assists Jamie back to his feet and backs him into the corner. Stiff right punches trying to aim perfectly for the stitches across the skull, trying to utilise her knuckles to break the skin open more and more. Each blow rocks Jamie as he barely seems to keep it together as it is. Kass takes a step back and turns Jamie around. She wraps the arms around the waist of her challenger and lifts him up! KASSIDY DROPS JAMIE WITH THE GERMAN AND CONNECTS WITH ONE! BUT SHE MAINTAINS CONTROL OF THE WAIST AND DRAGS JAMIE BACK TO HIS FEET– A SECOND GERMAN SUPLEX! THE KASSPLODER PLEX IN FULL SWING AS SHE LOOKS FOR A THIRD GERMAN SUPLEX! SHE HOISTS JAMIE O’HARA UP AND OVER–
Deadprez: BUT JAMIE FLIPS OUT OF IT AND LANDS ON HIS FEET! KASS DOESN’T REALISE IT, JAMIE IS BARELY ABLE TO STAND UNDER HIS OWN STRENGTH. KASSIDY TURNS AND JAMIE ALMOST RIPS HER HEAD OFF WITH A DEVASTATING LARIAT!!!! BOTH COMPETITORS ARE DOWN! BOTH CHAMPION AND CHALLENGER ARE DOWN! THE CROWD RISES TO APPRECIATE THE DISPLAY OF BRILLIANT EXPERTISE BOTH COMPETITORS ARE SHOWING HERE TONIGHT!
Gavin Kirkland: The wise veteran, O’Hara, takes the opportunity and rolls away from Kassidy and once again slides out of the ring. Trying to keep his distance once again and even I have to applaud Kassidy for not just getting the advantage over Jamie here but maintaining it as she has for so long. Jamie might have halted that offense for a moment but that’s all it is, a brief moment. The Mauler doesn’t particularly favour the idea of her prey getting any time to recuperate as she’s already back to her feet. She slides out of the ring and immediately makes a line right for her challenger!
Eve: But Jamie sees it coming and immediately connects with a standing Tiger Knee! Flush beneath the jaw of Kassidy Heart who reels back, maintaining her vertical base as O’Hara barely remains on his– SPEAR! ANOTHER SPEAR FROM KASSIDY CUTS O’HARA BACK DOWN TO THE RINGSIDE AREA! BUT SHE ISN’T DONE THERE! KASSIDY ROLLS BACK INTO THE RING AND PATIENTLY WAITS FOR O’HARA TO GET BACK TO HIS FEET. THE POISE, THE FOCUS, THE INTENSITY IN THE FACE OF THE CHAMPION GLARING AT WHERE HER OPPONENT WILL RISE UP. JAMIE USES THE RING APRON TO GET BACK TO HIS FEET AS KASSIDY RACES TOWARDS THE ROPES…
Deadprez: TOPE CON HILO!!! DIVING OVER THE TOP ROPE AND KASSIDY COMES CRASHING DOWN ON THE CHALLENGER. MUCH TO THE DISMAY OF THE CROWD AND SURELY THE WORLD, KASSIDY STANDS TALL AND GLOATS PROUDLY, THE KING REFUSED TO STAY DOWN, O’HARA’S DESPERATE MOMENT WAS FOR NOTHING. THIS IS KING KASS’ NIGHT, THIS IS KASSIDY HEART’S TIME TO SHINE BEFORE THE WORLD.
(As Kassidy celebrates, her eyes lock onto Hathaway and his grandparents at ringside. Concerned, Carmen cradles Hathaway away from Kassidy as Beverley steps in)
Eve: Come on now, Kassidy. You’ve already done enough to terrorise this family for the sake of getting your match with Jamie here tonight. Leave them alone, they’re just here trying to show their support.
Kassidy Heart: Don’t worry Brataway, your daddy will be able to spend all the time in the world with you once I’m done killing his legacy.
Gavin Kirkland: BRATAWAY?!?!? HOW FUCKING DARE THIS HEATHEN INSULT THE FUTURE ACE OF THIS COMPANY, MY PRINCE THAT IS PROMISED–
(**SLAP**)
Gavin Kirkland: YESSSS!!! BEVERLEY O’HARA JUST SLAPPED THE DISRESPECT OUT OF THE MOUTH OF KASSIDY HEART. WHAT A QUEEEEN!!!!
Deadprez: KASSIDY HEART IS FURIOUS. SHE CLENCHES HER FIST AND RAISES IT– BUT FROM BEHIND!! JAMIE O’HARA CLUTCHES THE WRIST AND SPINS HER AROUND!!! STARDUST BREAKER!!!!! NO! KASSIDY DUCKS AND LOOKS TO ESCAPE A FATHER’S FURY BUT O’HARA CATCHES HER BY THE TIGHTS AND PULLS HER BACK! HIGH ANGLE GERMAN SUPLEX ONTO THE RINGSIDE BARRICADE! KASSIDY GOES NECK FIRST ONTO THE UNCOMPROMISING EDGE OF THE BARRICADE.
Eve: INVOLVE YOURSELF WITH SOMEONE’S FAMILY AND FACE THE CONSEQUENCES OF YOUR ACTIONS. THIS HAS LIT THE SAME FIRE UNDER O’HARA THAT LED TO KASSIDY’S INJURY AT BATTLE OF EGYPT. SHE HAS BEEN IN COMPLETE CONTROL FOR SO LONG THAT HER ARROGANCE GOT THE BETTER OF HER. I DON’T ENVY THE POSITION SHE’S IN RIGHT NOW.
Deadprez: Kassidy scrambling to get away from that corner of the ringside area as Jamie takes a moment to kiss his baby boy on the head. He turns his attention back to Kass and delivers a swift kick to the ribs! Kassidy immediately clutches them, gasping for breath as O’Hara simply follows it up with another kick, this time to the unprotected spine. The Ace is just toying with Kassidy as she tries to desperately keep some distance between the two.
Gavin Kirkland: The brilliant mind of the Ace spins as his focus turns to our announce desk. O’Hara rips the Pain For Pride themed hood off and promptly hurls it away, almost sending it tumbling into Kassidy.
(Jamie motions for the Showdown announce team to clear the desk of any valuables)
Gavin Kirkland: What a nice man. An outstanding member of this company :mjgrin:
Eve: You say that but I’m sure the Ace has some evil intentions in mind for Kassidy Heart. Jamie removes the monitors and clears the desk of any small lights, capables and papers that remained. Hurling them to the ground, Kassidy barely manages to avoid being clipped by the monitors and trash that O’Hara has removed. Jamie goes to step up onto the table–
Deadprez: BUT KASSIDY STRIKES THE BACK OF THE KNEE WITH ONE OF THE MONITORS! O’HARA’S LEGS BUCKLE AS THE METAL FRAME OF THE MONITOR COLLIDES WITH THE KNEE! KASS’ DESPERATION PAYS OFF AS JAMIE SLUMPS AGAINST THE TABLE. SHE GRABS HER CHALLENGER BY THE HEAD AND PROCEEDS TO BASH HIS SKULL AGAINST THE EDGE OF THE TABLE! OVER AND OVER AGAIN, NOT EVEN TAKING A MOMENT TO HESITATE AND IT’S THERE THAT THE BLOOD NOW BEGINS TO FLOW PROFUSELY DOWN THE FACE OF THE ACE AND DOWN THE FRONT OF OUR DESK.
Gavin Kirkland: …his beautiful face…how dare she…
Eve: THE CHAMPION DEFINITELY ISN’T GOING TO SLIP UP AGAIN HERE. SHE DRAGS O’HARA BACK TO HIS FEET AND ROLLS HIM ONTO THE TABLE BEFORE FOLLOWING LIKEWISE. KASSIDY ASSISTS JAMIE BACK TO HIS FEET, BUT I DON’T THINK THE ACE CAN SEE THROUGH THAT CRIMSON MASK. KASSIDY STEADIES O’HARA UPRIGHT BEFORE DROPPING HIM UNDER– STARGAZING!!! THE INVERTED DDT TO POSSIBLY END THE CHALLENGER’S CONQUEST TO LEAVE ELITE ANSWERS WRESTLING AS THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION.
Gavin Kirkland: NO! JAMIE FIRES AWAY AND CLOBBERS KASSIDY IN THE FACE WITH A STRAIGHT FIST! KASSIDY TRIES TO KEEP GRIP ON O’HARA, BUT O’HARA RETLIATES WITH ANOTHER SHOT. JAMIE MANAGES TO BREAK FREE AND IMMEDIATELY HOIST KASSIDY ONTO HIS SHOULDER! HE MIGHT DUMP HER INTO THE DYNASTY ANNOUNCE DESK!! HOW ON EARTH IS HE GETTING THIS STRENGTH?!? THE BLOOD HE’S LOSING AND THE BEATING HIS HEAD TOOK?!?
Eve: KASSIDY TRIES TO FIGHT OUT OF IT, DRIVING THE FIST INTO THE WOUND! O’HARA WAVERS AND IT ALLOWS KASSIDY TO PUSH AWAY, LOOKING TO ESCAPE BUT– BUT O’HARA GRABS HER AND PULLS HER BACK IN. BELLY TO BACK SUPLEX…INTO A PILEDRIVER THROUGH THE ANNOUNCE TABLE! VISUAL IDENTITY SENDS KASSIDY HEAR HEAD FIRST TO THE FLOOR BELOW!!! KASSIDY HEART AND JAMIE O’HARA ARE SPRAWLED OUT AT THE RINGSIDE AREA SURROUNDED BY THEIR CARNAGE.
(The crowd rises to applaud both competitors as they lay still on the ground for a moment. The official steps in to check on both of them, O’Hara’s blood seems to have stopped flowing for the moment as Kassidy clutches her neck)
Deadprez: It can’t be understated the lengths these two will go to in order to win this match here tonight. It’s about protecting one legacy and solidifying another. It’s about the quest for immortality, the desire to leave a mark on this company that will never fade away. The blood that has been spilled already, the blood that is to be spilled yet to come, the bones that will surely be broken, all the sacrifices that these two are willing to make. For Kassidy Heart, to say she was able to defeat Jamie O’Hara, just like her husband has done and just like Impact. For Jamie O’Hara, it’s to simply walk away having one final victory, one last moment as World Champion.
Eve: So much hangs in the balance in this very moment for both these two Elitists, two of the very best in the world today. And despite the bloody mess on his face it’s Jamie who rises to his feet first. Wobbly and a little unstable, he drags Kassidy to her feet and proceeds to throw her back into the ring. Though…he’s not following…
(Jamie proceeds to drop to his knees and look underneath the ring apron. After a brief moment, he pokes his head out with a wild, cocky grin on his face. Slowly he rises to his feet, staring down Kassidy Heart who is only just starting to stir in the ring. In his hands is…)
Deadprez: IS…IS THAT A METAL CUTTER? IT IS. JAMIE O’HARA HAD AN ACE UP HIS SLEEVE WHEN IT CAME TO DEALING WITH KASSIDY AND HER CAST, STASHING A METAL CUTTER BENEATH THE RING.
Eve: JAMIE SLIDES INTO THE RING AND BEGINS TO SLOWLY APPROACH KASSIDY. KASS TRIES TO GET AWAY BUT O’HARA RACES IN AND CONNECTS WITH A RUNNING KNEE!!! STRAIGHT TO THE FACE OF KASSIDY!
Gavin Kirkland: THAT JUST MIGHT HAVE KNOCKED HER LIGHTS OUT BUT O’HARA ISN’T FOCUSED ON THE PIN. NO, HE WANTS TO REMOVE THAT CAST AND PREVENT IT FROM COMING BACK TO BITE HIM LATER IN THE MATCH! THE CROWD’S ELATION SAYS IT ALL AS O’HARA SWITCHES IT ON AND THAT BLADE QUICKLY BLURS!
Deadprez: JAMIE BEGINS SLICING THROUGH THAT CAST! BIT BY BIT THE CAST PARTS LIKE THE RED SEA EXPOSING THE SKIN BENEATH. THE BEAUTIFUL CAST KASSIDY HAS WORN FOR THE LAST MONTH, THIS WEAPON SHE CRAFTED FOR THE INTENTIONS OF DEVASTATING JAMIE O’HARA IS BEING REDUCED TO ABSOLUTE NOTHING BEFORE OUR VERY EYES.
Eve: THAT GLARING WEAKNESS WAS MADE APPARENT ON SHOWDOWN WHEN SHE CAVED THE SKULL OF JALYN GARCIA IN WITH THOSE DEADLY BLOWS YET THE CAST EVENTUALLY STARTED TO DENT. O’HARA, WITNESSING EVERYTHING UNFOLD BEFORE HIS EYES, FINDING A SOLUTION TO RENDER THIS WEAPON OBSOLETE.
Deadprez: KASSIDY TRIES TO FIGHT BACK BUT O’HARA DIGS THE CUTTER IN A LITTLE DEEPER, CLIPPING THE SKIN OF KASSIDY. THE STING OF FLESH BEING SCRAPPED BY THE CUTTER IS ENOUGH TO CAUSE KASSIDY TO RELENT AS O’HARA…O’HARA…O’HARA CUTS THROUGH THE CAST COMPLETELY!!! THE HEALING ARM OF KING KASS IS EXPOSED COMPLETELY JUST A MONTH AFTER IT WAS BROKEN BY THE ACE!!
Jamie O’Hara: Fuck this cosplay bullshit. :cmon:
(O’Hara hurls the scrap metal out of the ring as Kassidy quickly realises the removal of the cast, the air circulating the stadium felt on the freshly exposed arm)
Gavin Kirkland: I CAN’T IMAGINE IT WOULD BE COMPLETELY HEALED EITHER. WE KEEP TALKING ABOUT HOW DANGEROUS SOMEONE LIKE KASSIDY IS WITH A WEAPON ON PERMANENTLY, BUT NOW SHE’S PREY WITH A TARGET EXPOSED FOR ONE OF THE LAST PEOPLE YOU WANT TO BE IN THIS POSITION AGAINST.
Deadprez: AND O’HARA IMMEDIATELY BEGINS TO STOMP AWAY AT THE ARM. THE UNPROTECTED ARM OF KASSIDY HEART BEING KICKED AND STOMPED AND TREATED ABSOLUTELY WITHOUT ANY MERCY, WITHOUT CARE, WITHOUT ANY RESPECT. KASSIDY TRIES TO COVER UP BUT O’HARA DOESN’T LET HER DO SO. HE INSTEAD TAKES THE ARM AND DRIVES IT DOWN TO THE CANVAS!
Eve: Jamie O’Hara wants to make Kassidy regret every decision she has made to bring us to where we are today. He wants to make her regret ever challenging him back at Grand Rampage. His chance to walk away was denied, his ‘perfect’ story now considered imperfect all thanks to the Answers World Champion!
Deadprez: The Ace’s attention shifts to the corner as he begins to untie the padding on the turnbuckles. His intent is evident that he will strip this ring clean of any protective surface if it means he will be able to dish out further torment on the Answers World Championship. All three turnbuckles exposed as he turns– KASSIDY TRIES TO STRIKE O’HARA WITH A CLOSED FIST BUT O’HARA CATCHES IT!
Eve: The Champion was hoping to seize the moment and get back on top of this contest but the man with the consistent presence in the main event spot of Pain For Pride was well aware. O’Hara shakes his head before collecting Kassidy with a knee to the ribs! A STIFF knee strike that forces Kassidy to barrel over, gasping for breath but Jamie doesn’t stop there! HE TAKES THE RIGHT ARM OF KASSIDY, DRAGGING HER BACK UPRIGHT AND DRIVES IT DOWN ONTO THE STEEL OF THE TURNBUCKLE! ONCE! TWICE! THREE TIMES! NO MATTER HOW SMALL THAT SURFACE MAY BE, IT’S UNFORGIVING STEEL MEETING A BONE THAT’S STILL HEALING!
Gavin Kirkland: THE KING CAN ONLY ENDURE SO MUCH BEFORE IT BECOMES UNSUSTAINABLE FOR HER TO CONTINUE! JAMIE DRAGS HER TOWARDS THE CENTER OF THE RING, SHE’S BARELY ABLE TO FIGHT BACK AS ALL O’HARA HAS TO DO IS CLENCH THE RIGHT ARM TIGHT FOR HER TO GIVE UP. O’HARA HOOKS HER IN AND DROPS HER DOWN WITH A SINGLE UNDERHOOK BRAINBUSTER! O’HARA INTO THE COVER, HOOKS BOTH LEGS!!!
OOONNNEEEE!!! TTTTWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!!!! TTTTTHHHHRRRREEEEEE–
Deadprez: THE CHAMPION STAYS ALIVE, SHOOTING HER SHOULDER UP OFF THE CANVAS! KASSIDY FINDING THE HEART TO CONTINUE DESPITE WHAT JAMIE O’HARA HAS PUT HER THROUGH.
Eve: DROPPED ON HER HEAD ON THE OUTSIDE, THAT PROTECTIVE CAST REMOVED, ENDURING THAT BONE’S HEALTH BEING TESTED. KASSIDY IS ABSOLUTELY PROVING HER CREDENTIALS AND HER CLAIMS TO BEING ONE OF THE VERY BEST TODAY HERE TONIGHT AT PAIN FOR PRIDE.
Gavin Kirkland: Even I have to swallow my pride and love for the Ace to admit that she has lasted longer than I expected. When this match turned against she continued to dig deep and has shown that same resilience that got her to this point, to this exact match under the brightest lights despite all the setbacks in her career…
(Jamie rises to his feet and runs a finger across the throat signalling the end)
Gavin Kirkland: BUT THAT POINT AND THAT EXACT MATCH IS AGAINST THE BEST WRESTLER IN THE WORLD TODAY. THE ACE OF ELITE ANSWERS WRESTLING AND HE’S GOING TO ONCE AGAIN CLAIM HIS THRONE AS CHAMPION ONCE AGAIN :blessed:
Deadprez: And this seems to be the moment that it all comes crashing down for Kassidy Heart! O’Hara forces her up to her knees and Kassidy shows little signs that she’s aware of her surroundings. Jamie backs away, slowly measuring his opponent with the kneepad rolled down. An In Excelsis like a fucking bullet to the brain will be the very end of the Answers World Championship reign for Kassidy Heart. THE ACE CHARGES TOWARDS THE KING! IN EXCELSISSSS!!!
Eve: KASSIDY REVERSES IT! SHE TAKES HIM BY SURPRISE AND TAKES O’HARA DOWN WITH THE TORNADO DOUBLE ARM LEG SCISSORS!!! LOOKING TO LOCK IN ‘THE LOUIS VUITTON OF WRESTLING MOVES’! BUT JAMIE QUICKLY TRIES TO FIGHT OUT OF IT! KASS CAN’T LOCK THE OTHER ARM AND O’HARA USES IT TO DELIVER THUMPING BLOWS TO THE TEMPLE! KASSIDY’S HISTORY WITH CONCUSSIONS ARE WELL DOCUMENTED AND IT’S ENOUGH FOR THE ACE TO ESCAPE!
Deadprez: ALMOST CAUGHT IN A POSITION THAT WOULD HAVE CERTAINLY SPELT THE END OF THE CHALLENGER’S DESIRES! HE STAGGERS TO THE CORNER HOPING TO GET AWA– RAPTURE! RAPTURE! RAPTURE! THE HELLUVA KICK ALMOST PUNT’S JAMIE O’HARA’S HEAD INTO THE CROWD AS HE SLUMPS TO THE CANVAS! KASSIDY COVERS!!!
OOONNNEEEE!!! TTTTWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!!!! TTTTTHHHHRRRREEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: O’HARA’S ALIVE! O’HARA’S ALIVE! IT WASN’T ENOUGH TO PUT HIM DOWN AND WE ALL BREATHE A SIGH OF RELIEF!
Eve: Kass almost caught him and the hands running through the hair I’m sure is less frustration and more composure. O’Hara clutches his jaw on the ground while trying to get some air back into the lungs as Kassidy makes the most of the pause in action. She’s evened the odds if only for a brief moment as it is and one might say the tide tips in her favour.
Deadprez: But Eve, she doesn’t press. Instead both King and Ace meet at the center of the ring, staring down the other and jawing back and forth words that I don’t think are kind nor appropriate to say over the air. O’Hara motions for Kass to strike first, offering a free strike to the neck where the wound opened earlier has dried. Kassidy almost strikes but realises it’s with the injured right arm– instead she connects with the left forearm to the other side of O’Hara’s neck! The Ace almost baits her into making a mistake but O’Hara fires back immediately with an uppercut! Driving his bicep into the jaw of Kassidy Heart and it causes her to stumble for just a brief moment.
Eve: It’s a test of will to survive the best shot the other has at this point. Jamie once again motions for Kassidy to hit him, almost putting his arms behind his back to make it more insulting. Kassidy won’t waste the opportunity to strike and connects once more with the left forearm! In a near instant O’Hara responds with a dull thud of an uppercut! KASSIDY WITH THE FOREARM! O’HARA WITH THE UPPERCUT! KASSIDY! JAMIE! KASSIDY! JAMIE! KASSIDY! JAMIE!
Deadprez: THE FOREARMS AND UPPERCUTS GIVE WAY TO JUST SIMPLE PUNCHES STRIKING THE OTHER WHEREVER THEY CAN AROUND THE FACE AND HEAD. WILD SWINGS LOOKING TO DO AS MUCH DAMAGE AS POSSIBLE. AND IT’S KASSIDY THIS TIME WHO GETS THE ADVANTAGE OVER O’HARA! SHE PUTS HIM ON THE BACK FOOT AND DRIVES HIM INTO THE CORNER.
Eve: O’HARA’S TRAPPED AGAINST THE SAME EXPOSED STEEL HE THREATENED TO BREAK THE ARM OF HIS OPPONENT OVER. KASSIDY GRABS THE SKULL OF O’HARA AND DRIVES THE BACK OF IT INTO THE EXPOSED TURNBUCKLE! ONCE! TWICE! THREE TIMES! O’HARA’S TRYING DESPERATELY TO COVER THE BACK OF HIS HEAD UP! AND HE DOES! THANKFULLY FOR HIS SAKE HE DOES! THE FINGERS BEING TRAPPED BETWEEN THE BACK OF HIS HEAD AND THE TURNBUCKLE MAKE ALLOWS O’HARA TO RECOMPOSE HIMSELF—
**THUDD**
Deadprez: :damn: O’HARA JUST DROPPED KASSIDY FACE FIRST INTO THE EXPOSED TURNBUCKLE!!! HER HEAD VIOLENTLY BOUNCES OFF IT AGAIN AND IMMEDIATELY IT CUTS HER RIGHT OPEN! THE BLOODIED CORNER OF THE RING LOOKS MORE LIKE A CRIME SCENE. KASSIDY SLUMPS TO THE CANVAS, OH BOY, THAT MIGHT BE IT FOR HER!!
Eve: JAMIE REELS AWAY BARELY ON HIS OWN FEET AND REALISES THE BLOOD NOW FROM THE BACK OF HIS HEAD. HE’S BEEN CUT OPEN SO MUCH IN THIS MATCH, IN SO MANY DIFFERENT WAYS AND YET HE’S STILL STANDING ON HIS FEET. HE SHAKES HIS HEAD AND EVEN HERE I’VE GOT A FEELING HE’S FED UP WITH THE CHALLENGE THAT KASSIDY HEART HAS PRESENTED.
Deadprez: HE IS, EVE! O’HARA STEPS OVER TO KASSIDY’S SLUMPED BODY AND DRAGS HER TOWARDS THE CENTER OF THE RING WITH BOTH WRISTS TIGHTLY GRASPED! STRAIGHT INTO STARDUST FOREVER! THE REPEATED KNEE RIGHT TO THE FACE OF KING KASS! KASS’ HEAD SNAPPING BACKWARDS, ROCKING FORWARDS! FUCK. A YEAR AGO HE USED THIS TO SLAY A GAWD AND NOW HE’S ON THE VERGE OF DEFEATING A KING! JAMIE’S KNEEPAD BECOMING STAINED WITH THE BLOOD OF KING KASS AS EACH KNEE MAKES THAT CRIMSON MASK JUST A LITTLE THICKER.
Gavin Kirkland: THREE. FOUR. FIVE. SIX. SEVEN. EIGHT. NINE. TEN. KNEE AFTER KNEE AFTER KNEE. THIS WAR HAS BEEN DEEPLY PERSONAL SINCE JUST ABOUT THE BEGINNING AND NOW DESTINY HAS ARRIVED FOR KASSIDY HEART. THIS MOMENT, HELPLESS IN THE CLUTCHES OF THE ACE, THAT OF HER OWN DEMISE.
Eve: BUT KING KASS IS REFUSING TO SUBMIT. SHE REFUSES TO SURRENDER. KASSIDY SNAPS HER HEAD BACK AT O’HARA AFTER EACH KNEE, HER EYES GLARING RIGHT AT THE ACE, HER EYES DEMANDING THAT HE KEEP TRYING WITH THE STARDUST FOREVER BUT WILL REFUSE TO GO DOWN. BUT O’HARA….he…he’s…
(Instead, Jamie responds with a wicked, evil grin)
Deadprez: Wait…what’s he doing?!?! HE’S TAKING THE CAST-LESS RIGHT ARM OF KASS AND PLANTS IT ON THE CANVAS! NO! NO! HE’S DRIVING THE KNEE RIGHT INTO THE FOREARM OF KING KASS! BONE CRUSHING BONE AND KASSIDY CAN’T HELP BUT CRY OUT IN PAIN AS O’HARA IS JUST RELENTLESS, A CRAZED LOOK IN HIS EYES! KNEE AFTER KNEE, SICKENING, HEARTBREAKING YELP AFTER SICKENING, HEARTBREAKING YELP FROM KASSIDY.
Eve: THE ARM BEING TESTED. THE HEALTH OF THOSE BONES TAKING AN UNHOLY BEATING AS O’HARA UNLEASHES ENDLESS KNEE STRIKES. KASSIDY TRYING TO KEEP HERSELF TOGETHER AS JAMIE NOW GRINDS THE KNEE INTO THE ARM, HE TAKES THE HAND OF KASS AND…FUCK…IS HE TRYING TO BEND THE ARM AROUND THE KNEE?!?!? HE’S TRYING EVERYTHING HE CAN TO WRAP THE ARM AROUND THE KNEE IN AN UNNATURAL MANNER.
Deadprez: HE MIGHT JUST RIP KING KASS’ FOREARM IN TWO AT THIS RATE AS KASSIDY TRIES DESPERATELY TO FIGHT OUT OF IT. KASS RACES UP WITH THE FREE ARM AND BEGINS TO SCRATCH AND CLAW AT O’HARA. HIS ARMS BEARING VISIBLE SCRATCH MARKS AS KASS BEGINS RAKING AT THE FACE, AT THE EYES OF O’HARA! SURVIVAL INSTINCTS OF THE CHAMPION KICKING IN, AS THEY ABSOLUTELY MUST, AND HER NAILS DIG INTO THE EYES OF O’HARA!! IT’S KASSIDY NOW HAVING TO DEPLOY THE SAME DESPERATE MEASURES THAT JALYN USED A WEEK AGO.
Eve: AND SHE MANAGES TO GET HIM AWAY! O’HARA CLUTCHES THE EYES AND REELS AWAY AS KING KASS ROLLS OUT, IMMEDIATELY HOLDING HER ARM. THROUGH HER CRIMSON MASK SHE TRIES TO GET TO THE CORNER AND AWAY FROM HER CHALLENG–
Gavin Kirkland: IN EXCELSIS!!!!! OH MY FUCKING GOD!!! A RUNNING KNEE RIGHT TO THE BACK OF THE SKULL, AN EXECUTION LIKE A GUILLOTINE FALLING ON THE BACK OF THE KING’S NECK AND IT SENDS KING KASS HURDLING INTO THE EXPOSED TURNBUCKLES!!!
Deadprez: HER HEAD SNAPS BACK ON CONTACT WITH THE STEEL AND SHE MIGHT BE OUT COLD AND MIGHT HAVE SUFFERED YET ANOTHER CONCUSSION IN HER CAREER. JAMIE O’HARA MIGHT HAVE JUST KILLED THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION BEFORE OUR VERY EYES! O’HARA COLLAPSES ON TOP FOR A PIN, HE’S GIVEN IT EVERYTHING HE HAS!!!!
OOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!!! TTTTTTWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
…
Deadprez: KASSIDY ISN’T MOVING AN INCH.
…
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
…
…
Deadprez: JAMIE O’HARA IS ONCE AGAIN THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION! THE ACE REIGNS!!!!
….
….
….
….
….
(The camera cuts to show the shoulder of Kassidy Heart barely an inch off the canvas. It’s enough for the referee to stop the count)
Eve: HOW– HOW IS KASSIDY HEART STILL IN THIS?!?! HOW DID SHE MANAGE TO EVEN LIFT HER SHOULDER UP THE INCH, THE MERE INCH SHE COULD TO KEEP THIS MATCH GOING? THE WILL AND DESIRE TO LEAVE SOFI STADIUM STILL THE CHAIN ON FULL DISPLAY FROM HEART. SHE TOOK THE VERY BEST THAT JAMIE O’HARA HAS TO OFFER, THE VERY THING THAT ALMOST WON HIM THIS VERY TITLE TWO YEARS AGO, THAT WON HIM THIS TITLE LAST YEAR IN ONE OF THE GREATEST MAIN EVENTS IN THIS EVENT’S HISTORY. SHE TOOK THE BRUNT OF IT AND SURVIVED.
Gavin Kirkland: IS THERE ANYTHING THAT WILL KILL THIS WOMAN? PLEASE? SOMEONE? WE NEED AN ANSWER BECAUSE I’M AT A LOSS FOR WHAT JAMIE O’HARA CAN DO NEXT TO PUT HER DOWN FOR GOOD.
(O’Hara sits up, frustrated and confused. He races options through his head but only grows more bothered by the situation at hand)
Deadprez: How often have we seen this? Out on his feet exhausted, drenched in his own blood and being unable to put an opponent away? Flashbacks to Pain For Pride 11 where this very moment unfolded, the move that won him the World Heavyweight Championship, that got him to an unbelievable three hundred and twenty three day record, failed him against Impact. Is this bound to meet the same unfortunate fate?
Gavin Kirkland: I would rather not think about such a possibility, Deadprez. HOW DARE YOU put ideas like that into people’s minds?
Eve: But I think Jamie O’Hara might have just had an idea to avoid that same outcome. He rolls outside the ring and once again takes a look beneath the ring apron. Searching and searching…and he pulls out a…chain?!?
(O’Hara slides the chain into the ring and slides in after it. He approaches Kassidy who can barely keep herself up off the canvas. Much like Battle of Egypt, O’Hara kneels down and holds Kassidy’s head up, staring right into her eyes with a wide, wide smirk peaking through the blood)
Jamie O’Hara: I’m going to rip that fucking arm from your fucking body.
Deadprez: NO NO! O’HARA WRAPS THE CHAIN AROUND THE RIGHT ARM AND DRAGS KASSIDY TOWARDS THE ROPES. I HATE THE LOOK IN HIS EYES, THAT DESIRE TO INFLICT SOMETHING THAT ISN’T HIM, THAT ISN’T WHAT HE’S ABOUT. ALL THESE YEARS, IT’S BEEN NECESSITY. ABSOLUTE NECESSITY FOR JAMIE O’HARA. WHATEVER CRUEL ACTION WAS A JUSTIFICATION BUT THIS MIGHT BE GOING TOO FAR.
Eve: THE ACE TOSSES KASSIDY OUTSIDE THE RING BUT GRIPS THE CHAIN TIGHT! KASSIDY DANGLES ON THE OUTSIDE GOING ONE DIRECTION AS O’HARA PULLS THE CHAIN INSIDE THE RING! THAT ARM, THAT UNDOUBTEDLY BROKEN ARM IS BEING PULLED IN TWO DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS! THE PAIN AND AGONY IN THE FACE OF KASSIDY HEART, TEARS DISPLACING BLOOD AS THEY RACE DOWN HER FACE, O’HARA IS SIMPLY TORTURING HEART FOR THE SAKE OF IT AT THIS POINT.
Gavin Kirkland: HE SWORE KASSIDY WOULD NEVER HOLD HER TWINS THE SAME AGAIN AND THIS MIGHT JUST ALTER HER CAREER ENTIRELY. FORGET HER THIS BEING THE END OF HER REIGN, THIS MIGHT JUST BE THE END OF HER CAREER.
Deadprez: THE DESPERATION IN THE EYES OF O’HARA TO COMPLETELY SHATTER THE ARM OF KASSIDY. HE STICKS HIS FEET ON THE BOTTOM ROPE TO APPLY MORE LEVERAGE AND IT DOES JUST THAT. ANOTHER CRY, ANOTHER PLEA TO STOP FROM KASSIDY–
Eve: SHE SWEEPS THE LEGS OF HER TORTURER OFF! JAMIE O’HARA GOES BACK FIRST TO THE CANVAS AS KASSIDY DROPS TO THE GROUND. THE CHAIN STILL WRAPPED AROUND THE ARM BUT THE PRESSURE HAS BEEN ALLEVIATED FOR NOW!
Gavin Kirkland: But Jamie is already back to his feet! He tries to pull the chain back up but Kassidy is well aware! She climbs to the ring apron and collects O’Hara in the face with a right fist! It staggers O’Hara but he comes back with a fistful of the chain! IT MISSES! AND KASS DROPS HIM ACROSS THE TOP ROPE! FUCK! HE ALMOST CLOCKED HER DESERVINGLY WITH THAT CHAIN!
(Kassidy slowly renters the ring, with the chain completely in her grasp. O’Hara begins to back away…)
Jamie O’Hara:
Eve: KASSIDY DOESN’T WAIT AND INSTEAD SHE IMMEDIATELY POUNCES! BUT JAMIE IS QUICKER TO THE PUNCH! HE DELIVERS A KNEE TO THE MID SECTION AND FOLLOWS IT UP RIGHT AWAY A BICYCLE KNEE! KASSIDY STUMBLES BACK AS O’HARA STEPS IN LOOKING FOR A SHOTEI! BUT THE OPEN PALM STRIKE MISSES, BLOCKED BY KASSIDY WHO RESPONDS WITH THE CHAIN BEING DRIVEN INTO THE RIBS OF THE ACE! O’HARA ONCE MORE BACKS HIS WAY TOWARDS THE CORNER, LOOKING FOR AN ESCAPE–
Deadprez: JAMIE TRIES TO DROP KASSIDY INTO THE UNEXPOSED TURNBUCKLES ONCE AGAIN BUT THIS TIME SHE’S AWARE OF HIS INTENTIONS AND STOPS HERSELF! O’HARA TRIES TO SCRAMBLE AWAY BUT INSTEAD KASSIDY LASHES HIS BACK WITH THE CHAIN! O’HARA ARCHES AS HE TRIES ONCE MORE TO GET DISTANCE BETWEEN HIMSELF AND KASSIDY. BUT SHE CLOSES THE GAP AND IMMEDIATELY AND ONCE AGAIN LASHES O’HARA ACROSS THE SPINE!
Eve: KASS WRAPS THE CHAIN AROUND HER LEFT FIST AND BEGINS TO BEAT O’HARA ACROSS THE BACK OF THE HEAD WITH IT! SEVERAL CLUBBING BLOWS STRIKING THE SAME SPOT BUT THE ACE MANAGES TO KICK HER AWAY WITH A MULE KICK STRAIGHT TO THE INJURED RIGHT ARM! IT CAUSES KASSIDY TO RELENT AND DROP THE CHAIN TO THE GROUND AS KASSIDY TRIES TO PROTECT THE ARM.
Gavin Kirkland: DESPERATE TIMES DEMAND DESPERATE MEASURES AS JAMIE CRAWLS TOWARDS THE CHAIN, TRYING TO AT THE VERY LEAST TAKE IT AWAY–
Deadprez: PAINFULLY EVER AFTER!!!!!!!!!!! THE CURB STOMP RIGHT INTO THE PILE OF CHAIN! O’HARA’S FACE CRUSHED INTO THE STEEL AS KASSIDY COLLAPSES ON TOP OF HIM! O’HARA’S DREAM MIGHT BE OVER AND THE KING MIGHT HAVE DEFEATED THE ACE ONCE AND FOR ALL!!
OOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!!! TTTTTTWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
…
…
…
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
…
…
…
…
Gavin Kirkland: YES! GO ON! JAMIE! JAMIE GETS THE SHOULDER UP! THE CAREER ISN’T OVER JUST YET!
(Kassidy rolls off O’Hara and both Champion and Challenge once again lay motionless in the ring to the applause of the crowd)
Eve: THIS IS EVERYTHING THAT DEFINES PAIN FOR PRIDE. THE REFUSAL TO GIVE UP, THE REFUSAL TO LET THIS RARE OPPORTUNITY THAT SO FEW GET, THAT EVEN FEWER GET MORE THAN ONE OF, TO SLIP THROUGH. IT COULD ALWAYS BE YOUR LAST, SO MAKE IT WORTH IT. NEVER LEAVE ANYTHING ON THE TABLE.
Gavin Kirkland: JAMIE HAS LOST A BUCKET OF BLOOD IN THIS MATCH BUT THE ACE IS STILL FIGHTING. THERE IS NO CERTAINTY THAT THIS IS IT, BUT IF IT IS, THEN HE’S GOING TO GIVE IT EVERYTHING HE HAS.
Deadprez: THE REASON WHY THIS IS SHOWDOWN’S HEADLINE ACT, THE REASON WHY THESE TWO ARE REGARDED AS SHOWDOWN’S BEST, ON FULL DISPLAY. THE PRIDE OF THE SATURDAY NIGHT BRAND TAKES CENTER STAGE TO CLOSE DAY TWO OF THIS EVENT AND THESE TWO HAVE DELIVERED ON OUR EXPECTATIONS. IT HAS BEEN A BLOODY, VIOLENT WAR UNTIL THIS POINT.
Eve: No Disqualifications…no countouts, these two have given so much already, how much is left in the tank? How much more do they have? Their crimson masks stain the ring as they crawl towards the other. Hate begets hate, violence begets violence and that has led us to where this match now rests on a knife’s edge.
(Like before, both Kassidy and Jamie meet in the middle of the ring, only this time both rest on their knees. Exhausted, they crack grins at the other knowing that this match approaches its end)
Deadprez: Despite all that hate, despite all that violence, you almost have to wonder if they’ve earned the other’s respect. They’ve thrown so much at the other and yet here they are, still breathing, still pushing and still fighting to win.
Eve: Kassidy gives O’Hara an opening shot, returning the favour from previously in the match. O’Hara simply smiles before firing away with a thunderous open palm slap across the face of Kassidy Heart! Blood and sweat go flying from the shere impact. Kassidy checks the inside of her mouth to see if there was any damage and promptly shrugs her shoulders before firing away with an equal response! A slap that echoes throughout the stadium as this hushed crowd watches, eager to see who cracks first.
Deadprez: Jamie retaliates with another slap. This one sees Kassidy grimace and O’Hara smirks in response. Kassidy grits her teeth and throws everything she has into her retaliation…but it does little to bother the Ace! In fact, O’Hara motions for her to go again and she doesn’t hesitate, firing off with another slap. A second and a third! But Jamie remains as ever upright, smiling at the attempts by his opponent. AND HE CLAPS BACK WITH A SLAP THAT SEES KASSIDY DROP TO THE CANVAS TO THE DELIGHT OF THE CROWD!
Eve: THE EXHAUSTION OF THIS MATCH TAKING ITS TOLL ON THE CHAMPION. BEING PUSHED BEYOND HER LIMITS, BEING PUSHED TO A PLACE SHE HAS NEVER BEEN BEFORE. BUT THERE IS NO FORGIVENESS, NO MERCY FROM THE ACE. HE RAISES HER HEAD OFF THE GROUND AND SLAPS KASSIDY ACROSS THE FACE ONCE, TWICE, THREE TIMES MORE. OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN AS HE RISES TO HIS FEET TO STAND TALL OVER HIS FOE. EACH RINGING OUT THROUGHOUT SOFI STADIUM. EACH SENDING BLOOD SPRAYING OFF HER HEAD. KASSIDY TRIES TO COVER UP BUT JAMIE SIMPLY SLAPS HER AROUND THE HEAD–
Deadprez: LOW BLOW!!! KASSIDY WITH THE LOW BLOW TO END O’HARA’S ONSLAUGHT OF DISRESPECT. SHE GRINS WIDELY AS JAMIE DROPS BACK DOWN TO HIS KNEES IN FRONT OF HER. THE CROWD SHOWERS THE RING WITH BOOS.
Gavin Kirkland: ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING SHE CAN TO PUT AN END TO JAMIE O’HARA. THAT RESPECT YOU SPOKE ABOUT DEADPREZ? NONEXISTENT. THIS WOMAN LOATHES THE MAN. SHE IS OBSESSED WITH THE VERY NATURE OF DEFEATING THE ACE AND WILL SACRIFICE ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING TO SEE THAT OBSESSION BECOME A REALITY.
(Kassidy rises to her feet and mocks O’Hara’s prior gesture of ending the match)
Deadprez: HOW MUCH CAN JAMIE O’HARA WILL HIMSELF BACK INTO THIS CONTEST? DOES HE HAVE ONE LAST PUSH, ONE LAST GASP? OR HAS THE FLAME OF THE ACE BEEN EXTINGUISHED AND ALL THAT’S LEFT IS FLICKERING EMBERS OF LIFE? KASSIDY HEART REALISES IT. SHE REALISES THAT SHE STANDS ON THE VERGE OF RETAINING HER ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP, THE VERGE OF DEFEATING THE ACE AND THE VERGE OF CEMENTING HER PLACE IN IMMORTALITY. KASSIDY MOCKINGLY GRABS BOTH WRISTS OF O’HARA, A FINAL BULLET IN THE SEVEN YEAR CAREER WITH ADDED INSULT, MIGHT JUST BE LOOKING TO SLAY THE ACE WITH HIS OWN MOVE, WITH THE STARDUST BREAKER. KASSIDY PULLS O’HARA IN–
Eve: SPEAR?!? SPEAR!!! O’HARA CUTS KASSIDY DOWN WITH HER HUSBAND’S ICONIC MOVE. JAMIE O’HARA POUNDS THE CANVAS, THE CROWD ROARS ONCE MORE URGING HIM ON. KASSIDY CLUTCHES HER RIBS AS SHE TRIES TO GET BACK TO HER FEET. THE EXHAUSTION VISIBLE ON THE FACE OF BOTH, THE PAIN ENDURED, THE SACRIFICES MADE AS JAMIE LINES KASSIDY UP, THE SMILE ON HIS FACE, THE FOCUS AND THE INTENSITY. THIS, THIS MIGHT JUST BE ALL HE HAS LEFT AND YET ALL THAT HE WILL NEED.
Deadprez: **IN EXCELSIS, AKA FOREVER MIGHTY. FOREVER THE ACE. FOREVER THE IMMORTAL. FOREVER THE LEGEND, JAMIE FUCKING O’HARA!!!!**
Gavin Kirkland: IIIINNNN EEEEXXXXCCCCEEEELLLLLLSSSSSIIIIIISSSSSSSS!!!! THE RUNNING BICYCLE KNEE IS DRIVEN RIGHT INTO THE FACE OF KASSIDY HEART!!!!!
Deadprez: KASS COUNTERS! KASS COUNTERS! SHE STEPS ASIDE AND GRABS THE RIGHT ARM OF O’HARA! NO WAY! LOOKING TO FINALLY PUT THIS OVER WITH. LOOKING TO FINALLY END THE ACE AND REACH HER NIRVANA, TO CLAIM HER IMMORTALITY. THE RIGHT ARM TRAPPED WITH THE LEG, THE KIMURA LOCKED IN, HALF OF ‘THANK U, NEXT’ IS SET BUT KASS CAN’T UTILISE THE RIGHT ARM, WITH ONLY ONE ARM SHE CAN’T COMPLETELY LOCK IN THE FUJIWARA ARMBAR…SO SHE REACHES FOR THE CHAIN!!!
Eve: SHE WRAPS THE CHAIN AROUND THE MOUTH OF JAMIE O’HARA AND WRAPS IT AROUND THE LEFT ARM! SHE FALLS BACK TO THE CANVAS AND WITH HER GOOD ARM, HER ONLY WORKING ARM, PULLS THE CHAIN TOWARDS HER. JAMIE IS SCREAMING IN AGONY, HIS SHOULDER ON THE VERGE OF BEING RIPPED FROM IT’S SOCKET, THAT ARM RIPPED FROM HIS BODY. ‘THANK U, NEXT’, THE KIMURA LOCK AND FUJIWARA ARMBAR COMBINATION IS CINCHED IN AND THE CHALLENGER IS STUCK DEAD IN THE CENTER OF THE RING.
Gavin Kirkland: THE ACE HAS NOWHERE TO GO, NOWHERE TO ESCAPE. KASSIDY SHATTERED THE ARM OF GARCIA LAST WEEK, WE KNOW THE LENGTHS THAT SHE’S WILLING TO GO TO AND THIS MIGHT JUST BE A MORE TERRIFYING AND CONCERN PREDICAMENT FOR THE ACE.
Deadprez: THAT CHAIN PROVIDING A BETTER GRIP AS KASSIDY SLOWLY PULLS IT CLOSER AND CLOSER TO HER CHEST. THE RIGHT ARM IS ABSOLUTELY USELESS FOR HER, BUT EVERY BIT OF STRENGTH IN HER BODY IS BEING USED TO KEEP THIS DEADLY SUBMISSION HOLD LOCKED IN.
Gavin Kirkland: BUT THE ACE REFUSES TO QUIT. THROUGH THE SUFFERING, HE TRIES DESPERATELY TO GET HIS FOOT ON THE BOTTOM ROPE– BUT KASS BEGINS TO FIRE AWAY, HER LEFT BOOT RELENTLESSLY DRIVEN INTO THE BACK OF JAMIE O’HARA’S SKULL AND ONCE AGAIN SHE YANKS THE CHAIN DOWN, CLOSER AND CLOSER, BEYOND THE PHYSICAL HUMAN LIMITATIONS.
Eve: HE HAS TO BE THINKING ABOUT THE LONG TERM RAMIFICATIONS OF HIS PRIDE GETTING IN THE WAY HERE. HE DOESN’T WANT TO QUIT, HE HAS NEVER QUIT IN HIS CAREER. NEVER TAPPED, NEVER BEEN FORCED TO SURRENDER LIKE THIS. BUT HIS EYES EVER SINCE HE WAS TRAPPED IN ‘THANK U, NEXT’ HAVE BEEN LOCKED ON HIS BABY BOY AT RINGSIDE.
Kassidy Heart: DIE. JUST FUCKING DIE ALREADY. GO AWAY AND DIE.
Deadprez: O’HARA AGAIN CRIES OUT IN AGONY ONLY TO BE MET BY AN EQUAL PRIMAL ROAR BY THE MAULER AS SHE KEEPS TRYING TO BRING THAT CHAIN CLOSER TO HER. THE BOOT CONTINUING TO BE DRIVEN INTO THE BACK OF O’HARA’S SKULL, STITCHES FROM SEVERAL WEEKS AGO POPPING OPEN AND THE BLOOD BEGINS TO PAINT THE BOOT OF KASSIDY HEART.
Gavin Kirkland: O’HARA MAKES ONE FINAL DESPERATE PLEA, ONE LAST GASP FOR SALVATION. HE BITES DOWN ON THE CHAIN TO ENDURE THE SUFFERING INFLICTED ON HIM. HE…HE’S UP TO A KNEE. HE MIGHT JUST BREAK IT…
…
…
…
Eve: BUT KASSIDY YANKS ON THE CHAIN ONCE MORE DRAGGING THE ACE BACK TO THE CANVAS AND IT DRAGS THE ARM EVEN FURTHER INTO THAT UNGODLY POSITION BEHIND HIS BACK. HIS SHOULDER MIGHT JUST SHATTER IN ANY SECOND.
Deadprez: THE PAIN, THE EXCRUCIATING PAIN RACING DOWN THE ARM OF THE ACE. HE…HE…HE HAS NO CHOICE. JAMIE O’HARA DOES THE UNTHINKABLE AND TAPS OUT. THE KING HAS DEFEATED THE ONCE SEEMINGLY IMMORTAL ACE.
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘Monster’ by Kanye West hits as King Kass releases her grip on the chain as Jamie rolls away clutching his arm. Both competitors lay in the middle of the ring, exhausted as the crowd rise to their feet to applaud both.)
Gina Romano: HERE IS YOUR WINNER…AND SSSTTTTIIIIIILLLLLL THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION…….KKKKKIIIIIINNNNNNGGGGGG KKKKKKAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!
Deadprez: KING KASS, KASSIDY HEART, HAS DONE WHAT SHE PROMISED SHE WOULD DO. SHE HAS DEFEATED THE ACE ON THE GRAND STAGE OF PAIN FOR PRIDE! THE BIGGEST MOMENT OF HER CAREER HAS BECOME A REALITY, KASSIDY HEART HAS DONE WHAT MANY BELIEVED WAS IMPOSSIBLE.
Eve: THIS MATCH DROVE BOTH PARTICIPANTS TO THE VERY EDGE OF THEIR LIMITATIONS AND FOR KASSIDY, SHE HAD TO PUSH WELL AND TRULY BEYOND THEM. SHE HAD TO BREAK HER OWN PHYSICAL AND MENTAL BARRIERS TO PERSEVERE, TO KEEP THIS MATCH ALIVE. IT WAS THAT UNDENIABLE DETERMINATION TO BRING HERSELF BACK INTO THIS MATCH, DOING EVERYTHING SHE COULD POSSIBLY DO IN ORDER TO REMAIN IN IT. NO MATTER HOW CLOSE JAMIE O’HARA GOT, NO MATTER HOW CLOSE THE ACE GOT TO PUTTING THE KING AWAY, KASSIDY HEART FOUND A WAY TO PUT THE RESULT BEYOND HIS REACH AND FORCE THE ACE TO TAP OUT.
Gavin Kirkland: :mjcry: :mjcry: :mjcry: I…I can’t even begin to process this. He’s supposed to be the Ace! He’s supposed to be the greatest in the world today! How could…how could he…
(Both Kassidy and Jamie remain laid out in the ring, barely moving an inch. The exhaustion of both is evident by the pool of blood and sweat forming beneath them. The California summer heat, even at night, made the air thick. Finally, for better or worse, both get to breathe)
Eve: Think back to a year ago and having to watch her husband not even get the chance to tap at the hands of Jamie O’Hara after a bittersweet defeat of her own. To be laying here in this moment, despite all the ups and downs, and the setbacks, having done what Mr. DEDEDE could not do himself.
Deadprez: The crossroads that the Ace has arrived at is something that I’m sure will be talked about in the days and weeks to come. The common sense of immense pride both himself and Kassidy share will make tonight a bitter pill for him to swallow.
(Kassidy finally sits up as Jamie rolls away from the ring. Disappointed and dejected, he’s helped to the back by officials, wiping the blood away from his face and head. The referee helps Kassidy to her feet and hands her the Answers World Championship. She pauses, processing the moment before realising that she had indeed won. The referee proceeds to wrap the Championship around her waist and hoists her hand in the air as the victor. The bloodied Kassidy refuses the towel, rather embracing her state as she stands, barely able to hold herself up from pure exhaustion)
Deadprez: Speculation is a thing for the future. For now, this moment belongs to the woman in the middle of that ring. The King who walked waged a war with the Ace and won. The King who reigns over Showdown, over Elite Answers Wrestling as a whole. Kassidy Heart’s quest to reach that elusive destiny of becoming the greatest to ever do it has taken an incredible leap forward here tonight at Pain For Pride 14!!! Thank you for an incredible Day Two of this event, we’ll see you tomorrow! GOODNIGHT!!!
(Pyro crackles above the ring, between the space of the stadium’s Oculus video board. Pyro races up the ramp and explodes around the stage as Kassidy Heart approaches and rises to the second turnbuckle. She barely raises her arms, simply raises her head to the sky and taps the Answers World Championship around her waist before she slips back down to the canvas, coming to a rest in a seated position in the corner. She soaks in the moment, the victory and the significance of it all. The emotion bubbles to the surface and the grin of standing on top of the world of Elite Answers Wrestling gives way to pure joy that it is indeed her reality. Kassidy Heart, the King has done the very thing she set out to do, defeating the Ace, Jamie O’Hara. The camera fades to black)
(EAW logo buzzes)
