(EAW Intro Plays….)
(The camera zooms into Nashville, Tennessee where a number of landmarks are shown. Eventually the camera zooms in on Geodis Park where Pain for Pride 16 is underway for the second of three nights.)
( https://i.imgur.com/lPmOQk4.jpg )
Narrator: Pain for Pride is all about the grind. We have seen for decades Elitists after Elitists rise or fall to the pressure. Careers made. Careers broken. Last night at Pain for Pride was no different. This arena offers these warriors the competition that they need to reveal their true potential and all that entails. We have seen new champions rise to dominate the future of this sport. We have seen old champions fall, their time at the top of the sport now over, possibly forever. The culmination of an entire year of competition, we now sit at the very revelation of what it truly means to be a winner at the highest level and for those who can make it…
(The camera features Scott Diamond standing dominate over The Visual Prophet and Cy Henderson reluctantly raising his arm in victory.)
Cy Henderson: Sometimes the ones who win are not the ones who we would prefer. In moments like this we are truly tested. Do we accept it? Do we raise the hands of those who have made it? Or do we cling to the hopes that somehow, someway what we perceive as a wrong may one day be righted?
(A brief flashback is shown of Cy Henderson with his own arm raised having won the EAW Championship at Pain for Pride 3. The scenes are mixed in with footage of Cy being beaten down backstage by a vengeful Visual Prophet.)
Narrator: While some struggle to accept, others choose to make their moment a reality at all costs. Not caring about the onslaught and the carnage left behind. They forge their own path and force others to accept that they and they alone sit at the mountaintop of EAW.
(A flashback is shown of Daryl Kinkade rolling Rex McAllister up and grabbing the tights last night and taking victory for himself.)
Daryl Kinkade: You think that there is any justice to be found here of all places? I make my own justice. You may not accept me as the winner but you will all be forced to recognize it.
(A flashback is shown of Daryl Kinkade yelling at the crowd “I told every single one of you!” after his win at Pain for Pride last night.)
Narrator: For some who choose to win at all costs, they do not do it alone. They forge their own path but it is a path desired by many others around them. As the sad song continues to be sung around them they only embrace it because it is the sure sign of their enemies dying around them one by one.
(A flashback is shown of Jon Kelton standing tall as the new EAW National Elite Champion with the unmasked members of Devolution by his side as the crowd boos in anger.)
Jon Kelton: Have you noticed a pattern yet? It’s not always about getting what you want. How many times have I not gotten what I want? Last night, I got exactly what I wanted and people have a problem with that? I can only laugh.
(Jon Kelton, Amir Yusuf, and Pandora Paisley are shown with smiles on their faces as they make their way backstage with the title while Jack Ripley and Veena Adams are shown seething on the floor.)
Narrator: Sometimes things appear to work out perfectly for everyone. The achievement has been made. The winner has appeared in all their glory! They did it the right way and everyone supports them. But even in times like those the fantasy may not match the reality.
(Many EAW fans are shown coping and seething as ARIA stands in the ring victorious only to then announce that she will not let Madison Kaline kiss her ass and instead forces a handshake.)
ARIA: I got what I wanted. I feel bad for the fans who may not have seen what they wanted to see… but this is Pain for Pride. This is my moment. I manifested my moment into a reality! If any of you horny guys have a problem with that you can… shake my hand too! <3
(Madison Kaline is shown wiping her hand on the mat in disgust after having been forced to shake the hand of ARIA after her defeat.)
Narrator: Sometimes we do all we can to win but even then it’s not enough. Sometimes the performance itself is its own kind of victory.
(Footage is shown of Theron Nikolas prevailing over Chris Elite in a competitive match between two all time great veterans in EAW.)
Chris Elite: Theron came out and he was dickeating the entire week. I might have lost but I hope he has learned his lesson at this point not to mess with me. If he does there is more where that came from and the result will be a different story next time. I will slap the shit outta him.
(Footage of the closely fought match is shown with Chris Elite coming inches away from winning but ultimately Theron Nikolas got the final blow.)
Theron Nikolas: I did what I set out to do. That’s all I have to say.
Narrator: What happens when you fail to achieve the moment you have been working for all year? When that Pain for Pride moment is taken from you at the last minute just before you are about to obtain it?
(Limmy Monaghan is shown retaining the EAW World Championship ending Myles’ hopes and dreams of reaching the top at Pain for Pride.)
Limmy Monaghan: I told you that Season 16 was mine. But Season 17? You thought that it wouldn’t be mine also? You thought wrong.
(Limmy Monaghan is shown celebrating with the crowd having won the title as a dejected Myles is shown unhappy in the ring having lost everything.)
Narrator: But sometimes those perfect once in a lifetime moments come true. No more do they come true than right here at Pain for Pride. Sometimes all your efforts are rewarded and you fight for your chance to reach the level of the immortals and nothing stands in your way. You step in under the bright lights and for one beautiful night everything goes right.
(Adam Lucas is shown finally winning the EAW World Championship from Jake Smith at Pain for Pride having achieved his boyhood dream at long last.)
Adam Lucas: Pain for Pride is where legends are made. Where champions are crowned. But that was only night one. I reached up and I took my moment. Will you?
(Adam Lucas points towards the camera as it fades out and a flurry of video footage is shown of various EAW wrestlers who still have yet to compete at Pain for Pride this weekend, their fates uncertain.)
Narrator: NOW LIVE EAW AND DISNEY PLUS WITH INDIANA JONES AND THE DIAL OF DESTINY HITTING THEATRES, FROM THE GEODI PARK IN NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE….. PAIN FOR PRIDE 16 NIGHT TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Fireworks erupt from the stadium once more as they light up the entire city and a drone camera shows the arena’s lights from afar before cutting back into the arena where the commentators are getting ready for the first matches.)
Rich Russillo: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WELCOME TO DAY TWO OF PAIN FOR PRIDE!!!
Charlie Marr: As uneventful as yesterday was, at least day two is getting kicked off in style.
Persephone: WE HAVE BLOOD! WE HAVE GUTS! WE HAVE ONE OF THE MOST PERSONAL AND HIGHLY ANTICIPATED MATCHES COMING UP FIRST!
James Peters: :wow: So without further ado…
(The first match graphic flashes across the screen.)
( https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/359791071422709761/1119621679841300603/image0.png )
(The camera cuts to Bella Braxton in the ring.)
Bella Braxton: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR… ONE FALL!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!
Bella Braxton: AND IS FOR THE EAW HARDCORE CHAMPIONSHIP!!
(‘Ambitionz az a Ridah’ by Tupac plays to a thunderous reaction from fans, and TLA rides down to the ring in his signature lowrider, which he parks on the rampway. Afterward, TLA stands up in the lowrider, and taunts to the audience, hyping them up before he steps out, and begins walking to the ring. The camera cuts to the front row ringside, and shows Lola and Feliciano. Lola is watchings things intently, but Feliciano is preoccupied with his switch. TLA gives them a glance as he enters the ring, but realizes he has to focus on his match.)
Bella Braxton: Introducing first! Hailing out of Tlaxcala, Mexico, weighing in at 210 pounds…HE IS LA PANTERA SEXUAL…TLA!!
James Peters: Well, we are opening Pain for Pride night two, not with a whimper, but with a bang. TLA taking on Hikari Kanno, and to say things have become personal between these two would be an understatement.
Rich Russillo: Yeah, Hikari has dragged both Lola and Feliciano into this, and last week, was the reason why Feliciano got accidentally struck by TLA.
Charlie Marr: Now, were playing the blame game. Blame TLA for being a bad father.
Rich Russillo: 🤨
James Peters: There can be a method to Hikari’s madness, because if she’s gotten under his skin enough to make him angry, that’s going to lead to some mistakes, which she will undoubtedly capitalize off of.
(‘Trepanation’ by Millennium Parade plays to a laregly negative reaction from fans, and Hikari walks out onto the stage, looking focused ahead of her match with TLA, albeit a bit confident as well, having a slight smirk on her face when raising the Hardcore Title high on the stage area. Hikari begins heading towards the ring, and briefly eyes the lowrider while passing it. But turns her attention back to TLA, who is already geared up to fight. Lola shakes her head at seeing Hikari, who isn’t bothered in the slightest.)
Bella Braxton: And her opponent! Hailing out of Okinawa, Japan, weighing in at 121 pounds…SHE IS THE EAW HARDCORE CHAMPION…HIKARI KANNO!!
Rich Russillo: Could Hikari be barking up the wrong tree though? Was it wrong to make things personal?
James Peters: Morally, yes. But as I said, competition wise, that could give her an advantage, but also disadvantage.
Rich Russillo: Why is that?
Persephone: Doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out, Rich. Hikari will be in there with an angry, pissed off TLA in a match where anything goes. Duh, idiot.
(‘Trepanation’ by Millennium Parade fades out, and Hikari backs himself into the opposite corner to TLA, handing her title off to the referee, who raises it high, signifying what this match is all about.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
James Peters: The bell has rung, meaning: the time for talk is over. It is TLA versus Hikari Kanno, winner takes home the coveted Hardcore Championship. Already, both competitors are staring at one another with intensity in their eyes, AND IT DOESN’T TAKE LONG FOR THEM TO CHARGE OUT OF THEIR OPPOSITE CORNERS!
Rich Russillo: HIKARI GETS THE FIRST BLOW OFF, SCORING A FOREARM STRIKE ON TLA, WHO SHRUGS IT OFF, QUICKLY RESPONDING BACK WITH A FOREARM OF HIS OWN! HIKARI RETURNS FIRE WITH ANOTHER FOREARM! TLA DOES THE SAME! WE ARE WITNESSING A BACK AND FORTH EXCHANGE HERE! BUT HIKARI GETS THE UPPER HAND OVER TLA, SCORING NOT ONE, NOT TWO, NOT THREE, NOT FOUR, BUT FIVE VICIOUS FOREARM STRIKES TO THE FACE!
James Peters: TLA LOOKS STUNNED MOMENTARILY, BUT FIGHTS BACK WITH KNIFE EDGE CHOPS TO THE CHEST! HIKARI HALTS HIS MOMENTUM CLEAN IN ITS TRACKS WITH A KNEE TO THE MIDSECTION, AND SENDS TLA OUT THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE! BUT TLA CAUGHT HIMSELF ON THE APRON, UNBEKNOWNST TO HIKARI, WHO TURNED AROUND, FAVORING HER CHEST AREA, WHICH GOT BRIEFLY LIT UP BY THOSE CHOPS!
Rich Russillo: SHORTLY AFTER, HIKARI DOES TURN AROUND, AND GETS CAUGHT WITH A SPRINGBOARD VERY MEXICAN UPPERCUT! THE WAY TLA SOARED THROUGH THE AIR WAS A THING OF BEAUTY!
Charlie Marr: At least these two things are keeping things moderately interesting early on.
Persephone: It’s alright.
James Peters: After that impressive uppercut, TLA takes a moment to hype up the crowd. Meanwhile, Hikari has pulled herself back to her feet in the corner, using assistance from the ropes. TLA realizes this, and goes to keep the pressure on- BUT HIKARI CATCHES HIM OFF GUARD WITH A KICK TO THE ABDOMINAL AREA!
Charlie Marr: Wouldn’t have happened if the idiot didn’t waste time taunting to these morons in Nashville, and focused more on his opponent. But if there’s one thing we learned in the build, it’s that TLA has a habit for neglecting things.
Persephone: :mjlol:
James Peters: Really, Persephone?
Persephone: What? It was funny.
James Peters: :wow:
Rich Russillo: TLA is doubled over as a result of that kick from Hikari, who follows it up with a punch to the head! Hikari grabs the back of TLA’s neck, and sends him into the corner she was just in. HIKARI GOES FOR A BIG RIGHT HAND- BUT TLA DUCKS UNDERNEATH, AND HIKARI FINDS HERSELF BACK IN THE CORNER FOR A BARRAGE OF RIGHT HANDS! TLA UPS THE ANTE WITH A FLURRY OF STOMPS, SINKING HIKARI DOWN LOWER INTO THE CORNER UNTIL SHE’S COMPLETELY SEATED!
James Peters: TLA IS NOW TRYING TO STOMP DOWN ON HIKARI’S FACE, LOOKING TO GET ALL HIS ANGER AND AGGRESSION OUT! BUT HIKARI MANAGES TO KEEP HER HANDS UP, DOING HER BEST TO CREATE SOME SORT OF SHIELD AGAINST TLA’S ONSLAUGHT, WHICH APPEARS TO NEVER ENDING AT THIS POINT! THE REFEREE ISN’T GOING TO PULL TLA OFF, GIVEN THE RULES OF THE MATCH! HES FREE TO UNLOAD ON HIKARI AS MUCH AS HE LIKES!
Rich Russillo: AS THE STOMPS KEEP COMING, HIKARI’S GUARD BEGINS TO FALTER, AND TLA’S STOMPS START HAVING MORE CONNECTION WITH HER FACE! ONCE SEEING THAT HIKARI IS GLOSSED OVER, TLA FINALLY RELENTS, AND BRIEFLY LOOKS TO THE CROWD, WHO CHEERS THE HALL OF FAMER ON, BELIEVING HIKARI HAS EARNED EVERY BIT OF THIS BEATING!
James Peters: TLA stands Hikari up in the corner, and goes to irish whip her in the opposite corner! BUT HIKARI REVERSES, SENDING TLA INSTE- NO! TLA REVERSES, SENDING HIKARI STERNUM FIRST INTO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! HIKARI STAGGERS BACK INTO A GERMAN SUPLEX BY TLA, DUMPING HER HIGH ON THE NECK AND SHOULDERS! HIKARI ROLLS THROUGH TO HER FEET, AND STAGGERS BACK AGAINST THE ROPES!
Rich Russillo: TLA RUNS IN, CLOTHESLINING HER TO THE OUTSIDE! HIKARI HIT FACE FIRST ON THE APRON, CAUSING HER TO GO DOWN! BUT TLA HAS THAT LOOK IN HIS EYES! TLA HAS THAT LOOK IN HIS EYES, WHICH SPELLS OUT DANGER FOR HIKARI, BECAUSE THE WHEELS IN HIS HEAD ARE TURNING, AND YOU NEVER QUITE KNOW WHATS GOING THROUGH THE HEAD OF EAW HALL OF FAMER, TLA!
James Peters: TLA EYES HIKARI DOWN, URGING HER, ENCOURAGING TO STAND UP, WHICH SHE SOON DOES! TLA RUNS OFF THE ROPES, AND FLIES INTO HIKARI WITH A SUICIDE DIVE! HIKARI GOES BACK FIRST INTO THE BARRICADE, BUT REMAINS ON HER FEET, AS DOES TLA, WHO LANDS ON HIS!
Charlie Marr: This isn’t the trainwreck I thought it’d be, which isn’t saying much, considering my standards were already low.
Persephone: The dive was nice, but I’m hoping for the introduction of some weapons soon. Everyone loves a bit of violence! :mjlit:
Rich Russillo: With Hikari leaned up against the barricade, TLA drops her with a right ha- NO! HIKARI GETS OUT OF THE WAY, DUCKING UNDERNEATH IT, AND WE GET A REPEAT OF VOLTAGE WITH TLA STRIKING FELICIANO!
(Felianco drops his switch, scared at seeing the punch coming towards him, but TLA manages to stop his fist at the last minute.)
Rich Russillo: NO! WE DON’T AS TLA PULLED HIS PUNCH! HIKARI SPINS HIM AROUND AND NOW TLA QUICKLY LOOKS FOR A RIGHT-
Persephone: But Hikari ducked under it- AND SENT TLA BACK FIRST INTO THE BARRICADE, RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIS KID! TLA stumbles off of the barricade, AND NOW HIKARI HITS TLA WITH A KNEE TO THE MIDSECTION! Hikari now striking TLA in the abdomen with a right hand, AND TLA TRIES RESPONDING BY SWINGING AT HIKARI, BUT HIKARI DUCKS UNDER IT!
James Peters: KICK TO THE GUT BY KANNO, WHO SCORES WITH RAPID FIRE ELBOWS TO THE FACE OF TLA, DROPPING HIM TO A KNEE! TLA looks dazed, and Hikari stands him up, BEFORE IRISH WHIPPING TLA INTO THE CORNER OF THE SOUTHWEST BARRICADE!! TLA CRASHES INTO THE BARRICADE, AND NOW HIKARI RUNS IN!
Rich Russillo: TLA COUNTERS WITH A FLAPJACK, CAUSING HIKARI TO LAND STOMACH FIRST ONTO THE BARRICADE! Hikari is hung up on the barricade, and TLA throws her legs up and over, sending Hikari’s whole body into the crowd area. Hikari slowly stands herself back up, using the assistance from the barricade, and favoring her lower back, which smacked pretty hard off the concrete.
James Peters: TLA backpedals, AND SUICIDE DIVES OVER THE BARRICADE, WIPING OUT BOTH HIKARI AND HIMSELF MOMENTARILY! But TLA begins to stir, and mounts Hikari with repeated right hands to the skull! TLA stands up, and shows some more aggression, pressing his boot down against Hikari’s jaw, keeping her pinned to the floor.
Rich Russillo: TLA lifts Hikari back to a vertical base, BUT MIGHT REGRET THAT ACTION AS HE GETS SHOVED BACK FIRST INTO THE BARRICADE! Hikari grabs TLA in a front facelock, and hangs him up on the barricade for a SNAP SWINGING NECKBREAKER ONTO THE CONCRETE FLOOR! YOU COULD HEAR THE THUD!
James Peters: TLA writhes in pain, clutching at the back of his neck, but gets stood up by Hikari Kanno, who sends him up and over the barricade back into the ringside area! Hikari hops over the barricade afterward, and starts peeling back a piece of the ringside padding, exposing some concrete.
Persephone: :mjgrin:
James Peters: Hikari pulls TLA up in a front facelock, and directs him toward the exposed flooring. TLA already was planted on concrete with that rope-hung Neckbreaker delivered by Hikari. Now, she could be looking to do it again. HIKARI LIFTS TLA UP FOR A SUPLEX, BUT TLA FLOATS OVER, SLIPPING OUT THE BACK, AND SHOVES HIKARI FACE FIRST INTO THE RINGPOST!
Rich Russillo: NO! HIKARI GOT HER HANDS IN THE WAY TO BLOCK IT, AND SPINS AROUND, CHARGING TOWARDS TLA, WHO SAW IT COMING, AND LAUNCHES HER OVERHEAD WITH A BACK BODY DROP! ALTHOUGH, HIKARI IS LUCKY, GIVEN SHE MANAGED TO LAND ON THE PADDING THAT SHE PEELED BACK INSTEAD OF THE CONCRETE!
Charlie Marr: Damn, I would’ve loved to see her splat off the concrete floor. If only that idiot TLA didn’t miss.
James Peters: TLA rolls Hikari back inside the ring, and Hikari crawls away from TLA, pulling herself up in the corner farthest from him. But TLA is in hot pursuit, and climbs to the middle rope. TLA bends over, and whispers some trash talk in Hikari’s ear before reigning down with repeated punches to the head!
Crowd: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! SIX! SEVEN! EIGHT! NINE! TEN! ELEVEN! TWELVE! THIRTEEN! FOURTEEN! FIFTEEN! SIXTE-
Rich Russillo: HIKARI! HIKARI SLIPPED OUT UNDERNEATH THE LEGS OF TLA, AND PULLS HIS LEG OUT FROM UNDER HIM, CAUSING TLA TO COLLIDE FACE FIRST WITH THE TOP OF THE LED RINGPOST! TLA is laid across the top turnbuckle, prone, but takes a spill to the outside.
James Peters: But Hikari can’t immediately capitalize as she collapses down to a knee. Hikari takes a while to collect herself, shake the cobwebs out of her head, and possibly conjure up what she’s going to do next. Meanwhile, TLA looks to be in a bad way in front of our announce table area.
TLA: https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/608723487502237723/1119474830392176710/image0.gif
Rich Russillo: That collision with the ringpost had a terrible effect on him. Hikari rolls out underneath the bottom rope, and retrieves TLA from the outside, rolling him back inside the ring. TLA still appears stunned as a result of that ringpost, and seemingly doesn’t know where he is right now.
James Peters: Meanwhile, Hikari Kanno goes digging underneath the apron, and pulls out a kendo stick!
Charlie Marr: Now, they’re speaking my language a little more.
Persephone: Mine too.
James Peters: The crowd had that initial excitement in seeing a weapon introduced, but the cheers quickly turned to jeers once remembering who it was introduced by, that being Hikari Kanno. Hikari has cruel intentions with that kendo stick as she slithers back inside the ring with it, stalking TLA as he begins to stir, and slowly gets back to his feet.
Rich Russillo: TLA wanders into a KENDO STICK SHOT TO THE MIDSECTION, DOUBLING HIM OVER BRIEFLY FOR A KENDO STICK SHOT ACROSS THE BACK NEXT! TLA JOLTS UP IN PAIN, BUT GETS TAGGED IN THE SHOULDER WITH THAT KENDO STICK NEXT, FOLLOWED BY THE CHEST, WHICH FINALLY DROPS HIM! Hikari kneels over TLA, and begins choking him with that kendo stick, pressing it down across his throat! HIKARI HAS INTENSITY IN THE EYES, SHOWING NO SIGNS OF RELENTING, AS TLA BEGINS TURNING PURPLE!
James Peters: Finally, Hikari relents, and tosses the kendo stick to the side before hooking the leg for a cover!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRR-
James Peters: Kickout! That was almost a three count for Hikari, given that TLA was struggling to breathe, but he just managed to get that shoulder up. Somehow, someway, he’s still in this thing, despite being busted open.
Rich Russillo: We’ve seen TLA fight through a lot in his career, so while the damage he has taken thus far, I don’t think it’ll keep him down.
James Peters: TLA crawls away from Hikari, and seats himself down in the corner, gasping for air, still struggling to breath. But it was smart to create seperation, and give himself some time to recover, possibly think of something to catch Hikari off guard.
Persephone: Well, that “separation” isn’t going to last long as Hikari has picked back up the kendo stick, and is approaching him in the corner with it.
Rich Russillo: TLA realizes the danger he’s in, and pulls himself up to a vertical base in the corner, trying to give himself a chance to fight back. Hikari raises the kendo stick high, AND GOES TO STRIKE HIM IN THE HEAD!
James Peters: BUT TLA AVOIDS THE KENDO STICK SHOT, CAUSING HIKARI TO HIT THE TOP TURNBUCKLE INSTEAD, WHICH KNOCKS THE KENDO STICK OUT OF HER HANDS, AND SENDS IT FLYING TO THE OUTSIDE! TLA TURNS HER AROUND, AND DELIVERS A BIG RIGHT HAND, STAGGERING HIKARI!
Rich Russillo: TLA SCORES A VERY MEXICAN UPPERCUT, JACKING THE JAW OF HIS OPPONENT, AND KNOCKING HIKARI BACK AGAINST THE ROPES! TLA grabs her wrist, and irish whips her off! But Hikari counters at the last minute, sending TLA towards the ropes instead! BACK ELBOW BY HIKARI! Hikari drops down, and hooks the leg deep for a cover!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHHHRRRRRRR-
James Peters: Kickout by TLA!
Charlie Marr: Must be running off instinct, because it’s clear his brain is scrambled, not that there’s much of one to begin with.
James Peters: TLA was beginning to mount momentum, but Hikari quickly shut that down. Now, she’s looking to inflict more punishment, pulling TLA back to his feet, and irish whipping him to the corner! HIKARI CHARGES IN- BUT RUNS RIGHT INTO A SCHOOL BOY ROLL-UP BY TLA!
ONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHHRRRRRREEEEEEE-
Rich Russillo: KICKOUT! TLA ALMOST SURPRISED HIKARI THERE! Both competitors scramble back to their feet, BUT TLA ROCKS HIKARI WITH A BIG BOOT! HIKARI IS ON WOBBLY LEGS, AND TLA IRISH WHIPS HER OFF THE ROPES! WAIT! HIKARI COUNTERS, WHIPPING TLA TOWARDS THE ROPES INSTEAD! ELBOW! TLA RAN RIGHT INTO A STIFF ELBOW, WHICH SPUN HIM AROUND, LEAVING HIM VULNERABLE FOR A SNAP SAITO SUPLEX!
James Peters: TLA WAS DUMPED RIGHT ON HIS NECK AND SHOULDERS! HIKARI CRAWLS INTO THE COVER, HOOKING THE LEG!
ONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHHRRRRRRRRR-
Rich Russillo: ANOTHER NEARFALL AS TLA GETS THE SHOULDER UP! The neck of TLA has to be aching, as Hikari already planted him on his neck while they were in the crowd area, and there was no padding for TLA. He took all of that barricade-hung swinging neckbreaker. With TLA writhing in pain on the inside, Hikari heads to the outside, and grabs the kendo stick again.
Charlie Marr: Hikari slides in the ring, and climbs to the middle turnbuckle, kendo stick in hand, even I don’t know what she’s going for here.
Persephone: TLA has zero idea either as she begins to stir, SLOWLY getting back to his feet. 🙄
James Peters: The man is busted open, and was just dumped on his head. You’re expecting him to get up with relative ease?
Persephone: Sexy Rexy would.
James Peters: :snoop:
Rich Russillo: TLA finally makes it to his feet, and turns around. HIKARI DIVES OFF THE MIDDLE ROPE, AND GOES TO CRACK HIM IN THE SKULL WITH THAT KENDO STICK! BUT TLA CATCHES HER OUT OF HER MID AIR, AND LAUNCHES KANNO WITH AN OVERHEAD BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX!
James Peters: Both competitors struggle back to their feet, AND TLA CHARGES HIKARI WITH A FLYING FOREARM! HIKARI RUSHES BACK TO HER FEET, AND GETS TAKEN DOWN WITH ANOTHER FLYING FOREARM! HIKARI RUSHES TO HER FEET AGAIN, AND TLA BUILDS MOMENTUM- BUT ALMOST GETS CAUGHT WITH A CLOTHESLINE! TLA DUCKS UNDERNEATH, AND STAGGERS HIKARI BACK INTO THE CORNER WITH A CARTEL KICK! THAT PELE KICK CONNECTS!
Rich Russillo: TLA heads to the opposite corner, AND GOES TO CHARGE IN, BUT- but stops himself right in his tracks. TLA turns his head, and begins eyeing the kendo stick, which Hikari dropped!
Charlie Marr: Quit gawking, and grab it already!
James Peters: TLA picks up the kendo stick, and turns toward Hikari with fire in his eyes! TLA RUNS IN- BUT HIKARI GETS THE BOOT UP, TURNING TLA AROUND, AND DROPPING HIM TO A KNEE! HIKARI HOPS TO THE MIDDLE TURNBUCKLE, AND WAITS FOR TLA TO TURN AROUND!
Rich Russillo: ONCE HE DOES, HIKARI DIVES OFF WITH A DROPKICK, DROPPING TLA MOMENTARILY!! You don’t see Hikari go high risk very often, which just goes to show that she’s doing whatever it takes to win tonight!
James Peters: BOTH COMPETITORS ARE QUICKLY BACK TO THEIR FEET- SUPERKICK BY HIKARI KANNO! BUT TLA REMAINS STANDING, ALBEIT ON SPAGHETTI LEGS! HIKARI RUNS OFF THE ROPES IN FRONT OF HIM, BUT TLA RUNS OFF THOSE SAME SET OF ROPES AS WELL! HIKARI TWISTS AROUND IN THE CENTER OF THE RING, AND TLA CATCHES HER WITH A HURRICANRANA!
Rich Russillo: Hikari rolls out to the apron, and uses the ropes to pull herself back up. TLA looks to get her back in the ring with a suplex! BUT HIKARI FLOATS OVER, SLIPPING OUT BEHIND TLA, AND HAMMERLOCKS HIS ARM, LIFTING HIM ON HER SHOULDER FOR BOOK OF THE END!
James Peters: BUT TLA COUNTERS WITH AN INVERTED FACELOCK SPUN INTO AN ELBOW DROP! COVER IS MADE!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRREEEEEE-
James Peters: SHOULDER UP! NEARFALL AFTER NEARFALL FOR THESE TWO!
Charlie Marr: Finally, TLA is going for something that actually stands a chance of winning the match.
Persephone: What’s he going for?
James Peters: You’ve been a commentator for his matches how long? :comeagain:
Persephone: Just answer the damn question!
Rich Russillo: Well, Hikari is sprawled on the canvas after that maneuver performed by TLA, and he’s climbing to the top turnbuckle, so I’m under the impression he’s going for Burnout!
James Peters: If he hits this, that could very well be the end!
Rich Russillo: BURN- NO! Hikari Kanno knew it was coming, and wisely rolled out of the ring. TLA steps off the top turnbuckle, BUT HIKARI GRABS HOLD OF HIS ANKLE, AND DRAGS HIM TO THE OUTSIDE! HIKARI GRABS THE BACK OF TLA’S NECK, AND LOOKS TO SEND HIM FACE FIRST INTO THE RINGPOST!
James Peters: TLA GOES FACE FIRST INTO THE RINGPOST, AND NOW HIKARI PULLS A STEEL CHAIR OUT FROM UNDER THE RING BEFORE HITTING TLA IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD WITH IT!!! TLA DROPS DOWN ONTO THE GROUND, AND HIKARI JUST BEGINS LAYING INTO HIM WITH MORE AND MORE CHAIR SHOTS TO THE BACK!!!
Persephone: This is perfect! Hikari dropping the chair now before digging under the ring once more, and pulling out a diamond studded microphone! TLA is using the barricade to pull himself up, AND HIKARI JUST HITS HIM IN THE SIDE OF THE HEAD WITH THAT MICROPHONE!!!!
Charlie Marr: Hikari seems to be in full control right now since TLA sucks at his job. Hikari gets another shot to the head in with the microphone, and now she pulls TLA up before sending him into the barricade-
James Peters: WAIT, NO! TLA TURNED IT AROUND, GRABBING THE BACK OF HER NECK, SO HE CAN SEND HER BACK FIRST INTO SOUTHEAST BARRICADE! HIKARI HIT SIDEWAYS!
Rich Russillo: TLA STILL ISN’T DONE, AND PULLS HIKARI BACK UP, SENDING HER-
Persephone: :krabs:
(The commentators quickly clear out as TLA sends Hikari Kanno up and over the announce table!)
James Peters: WHOA!
Charlie Marr: I may not be cleared to compete, but if either one of them come close to hitting me like that again, I’m kicking somebody’s ass!
TLA: :lick:
Rich Russillo: TLA clears our announce table off, and climbs on top of it! Hikari gets pulled up there, and placed between TLA’s legs for a MEXICAN DESTROYER!
James Peters: NO! HIKARI DROPS TO A KNEE, BLOCKING IT! TLA LIFTS HER BACK INTO POSITION, BUT HIKARI TWIRLS OUT OF IT, AND DOUBLES HIM OVER WITH A KICK TO THE GUT! TLA GETS GRABBED IN A FRONT FACELOCK, AND HIKARI DELIVERS AN AVALANCHE FALCONS ARROW OFF THE ANNOUNCE TABLE!
Persephone: :yikes: That wasn’t a good landing for either of them.
Rich Russillo: YOU’RE RIGHT, PERSEPHONE! BOTH COMPETITORS HIT HARD! TLA FAVORS HIS BACK, BUT THAT DID SOME DAMAGE TO THE TAILBONE OF KANNO, WHO ALSO WRITHES IN PAIN FRONT OF US!
James Peters: Hikari uses our announce table for assistance in getting back to her feet, which gives her an advantage, as TLA remains grounded, still in a world of pain after that falcon’s arrow. Hikari’s going to get creative now, grabbing our announce table cover, and leaning it up against our table.
Rich Russillo: Hikari grabs a handful of TLA’s hair, and directs him toward the setup. TLA is groggy, AND HIKARI KANNO PLANTS HIM ON THE ANNOUNCE TABLE COVER WITH BRIGHTSTAR, SNAPPING THE COVER CLEAN IN HALF!
James Peters: AGAIN, TLA LANDED ON HIS NECK AND SHOULDERS, AND HIKARI WATCHES HIM WRITHE IN PAIN WITH A SADISTIC SMILE ON HER FACE!
Charlie Marr: She has him right where she wants him.
Rich Russillo: Hikari rolls TLA back inside the ring, and goes to re-enter herself- but it appears Hikari has second thoughts about that, and decides to dig underneath the ring instead.
Persephone: A toolbox. :oh:
James Peters: In her possession, Hikari has a toolbox, and dumps its contents inside the ring, revealing things like a wrench, hammer, chain, pliers, along with various nuts and bolts. Hikari grabs the pliers, and slides back inside the ring, having evil intentions in mind for TLA, who has risen up to both knees in the center!
Rich Russillo: Hikari grabs TLA’s hair with one hand, AND GOES TO JAM THE PLIERS DOWN WITH THE OTHER! BUT TLA GETS HIS HANDS UP TO BLOCK IT, GRABBING THE WRIST OF HIKARI KANNO, NOT ALLOWING HER TO BRING THOSE PLIERS ANY CLOSER TO HIS FACE!
James Peters: TLA RISES TO A KNEE, BUT GETS KNEE’D RIGHT UNDERNEATH THE CHIN BY HIKARI KANNO, DROPPING HIM BACK DOWN TO THE CANVAS! TLA’s jaw got checked, and he’s checking to see if any teeth are missing. Thankfully, there’s not, but Hikari Kanno tosses aside the pliers, and opts for the tire iron now!
Charlie Marr: There’s some serious damage you could do with that, and I’d personally love to see said damage done.
Rich Russillo: Hikari stalks TLA, waiting for him to return to a vertical base. Once he does, TLA turns around- RIGHT INTO A SHOT TO THE FACE WITH THE TIRE IRON!!! TLA DROPS TO ALL FOURS, AND NOW HIKARI CONNECTS WITH A SHOT TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD!!! TLA SOMEHOW MANAGES TO PUSH HIMSELF BACK UP, AND NOW HIKARI GOES FOR A THIRD SHOT WITH THE TIRE IRON!!!!
Persephone: TLA AVOIDS THIS ONE THOUGH, AND CONNECTS WITH AN OPEN-HANDED CHOP!
James Peters: HIKARI FELT THAT ONE, BUT STILL HAS THAT TIRE IRON IN HER HAND, AND SWINGS IT AT TLA’S RIBS! BUT TLA CATCHES IT UNDERNEATH HIS ARM, AND USES THE FREE ARM TO ELBOW HIKARI IN THE JAW, CAUSING HER TO DROP THE TIRE IRON AS SHE STAGGERS BACK SLIGHTLY!
Rich Russillo: TLA BENDS OVER TO PICK UP THE TIRE IRON, BUT HIKARI KANNO STOPS HIM FROM DOING SO WITH A PUNT KICK TO THE FACE, JOLTING HIM BACK UPRIGHT! HIKARI HAS THE TIRE IRON BACK IN HER POSSESSION NOW, AND TAKES A SWING AT TLA’S HEAD!
James Peters: BUT TLA LANDS A DROP TOE HOLD, DRAPING HIKARI ACROSS THE MIDDLE ROPE, AND THE 30,000 FANS IN ATTENDANCE ARE GETTING OUT OF THEIR SEATS, BECAUSE THEY KNOW WHATS COMING NEXT! TLA RUNS OFF THE ROPES!
TLA: https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/608723487502237723/1119514256665227264/image0.gif
Rich Russillo: 305!! THAT KNOCKED HIKARI BACK TO THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE RING, AND SHE ROLLS OUT TO THE APRON! Hikari uses the ropes to slowly pick herself back up, but she’s visibly dazed off being on the receiving end of that 305 by TLA, who looks on as Hikari pulls herself up.
Persephone: Why isn’t he making a move?
James Peters: WERE ABOUT TO FIND OUT AS TLA RUNS OFF THE ROPES, AND DIVES OVER THE TOP ROPE!
TLA: https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/608723487502237723/1119515845132029962/image0.gif
James Peters: OH MY GOD! TLA WITH A SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMB TO HIKARI KANNO, PLANTING HER ON THE EXPOSED CONCRETE FLOOR! I HAD FORGOTTEN ALL ABOUT HIKARI EXPOSING THAT EARLIER!
Rich Russillo: I DID TOO, AND IN AN IRONIC TWIST OF FATE, IT COMES BACK TO BITE HER!
(TLA stumbles forward, and collapses down to a knee, leaning up against the barricade, and looking down at Hikari, who is barely moving after that powerbomb. A slight smirk creeps on the face of TLA as he hears what the fans are chanting as a result of his death-defying move.)
Crowd: HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!
Charlie Marr: Can these sheep quiet down for a second? They act as if we don’t see extreme shit like this often.
James Peters: I don’t think nothing can desensitize you to seeing a human being BOUNCE off concrete like Hikari Kanno just did.
Rich Russillo: Speaking of, somehow, Hikari is still showing signs of life, trying to rise up to all fours, but quickly collapses right back down, lying prone on the outside.
James Peters: You aren’t going to shrug that one off, I promise. TLA lifts Hikari back to a vertical base, and rolls her back inside the ring. Hikari sees the tire iron on the floor, and crawls toward it. TLA realizes this, and rushes back inside the ring!
(Hikari successfully army crawls toward the tire iron, and gets her hand on it, but TLA makes it back inside in time, placing his foot down on the tire iron, and waving his finger no at Hikari.)
Persephone: TLA picks up tire iron! :blessed:
Rich Russillo: Hikari cautiously gets to her feet, AND TRIES TO RUSH TLA- BUT GETS CAUGHT WITH A SHOT TO THE RIBS WITH THAT TIRE IRON! HIKARI COLLAPSES DOWN TO A KNEE, FAVORING THOSE RIBS, AND LEANING UP AGAINST THE MIDDLE ROPE!
James Peters: TLA walks to the opposite side of the ring, and has Hikari in his sights, watching as she pulls herself back to a vertical base with assistance from the ropes. TLA CHARGES IN WITH THAT TIRE IRON! :damn:
Rich Russillo: BUT HIKARI LOW BRIDGES THE TOP ROPE, SENDING TLA UP AND OVER, AND CAUSING HIM TO LAND ON HIS SIDE! The tire iron slides away from TLA, who gets to all fours, and crawls toward the ring apron. It looks as if he’s trying to feel for something underneath the ring, Hikari Kanno doesn’t see this, and sticks her torso out through the middle rope, grabbing hold of TLA’s hair, looking to pull him back inside the ring.
James Peters: BUT TLA BREAKS FREE, AND CRACKS HIKARI IN THE SIDE OF HER HEAD WITH A LEAD PIPE!
Charlie Marr: :gladbron:
Persephone: Blood is running down the side of Hikari’s head!
James Peters: HIKARI STAGGERS BACK, STILL ON HER FEET, DESPITE BEING CRACKED IN THE HEAD WITH THAT PIPE, WHICH TLA TOSSES ASIDE BEFORE CLIMBING UP ON THE APRON! TLA SLINGSHOTS HIMSELF OVER THE TOP ROPE FOR A MEXICAN DESTROYER! TLA SPIKED HIKARI ON HER HEAD WITH THE MEXICAN DESTROYER!
Rich Russillo: HIKARI ROLLS ONTO HER BACK, AND TLA MAKES THE COVER! COULD WE HAVE A NEW HARDCORE CHAMPION?!
ONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
Charlie Marr: :comeagain: What?
James Peters: “WHAT” IS THE WORD WE’RE ALL THINKING AS HIKARI KANNO MANAGED TO GET THE SHOULDER UP NARROWLY! WHAT IS HIKARI KANNO MADE OF?!
Rich Russillo: TLA must be thinking the same thing as he sits up, contemplating his next move against Hikari. TLA eyes the corner, and heads toward it, beginning to peel off the top turnbuckle padding! Hikari exposed the concrete earlier, now he’s exposing the metal! TLA marches toward Hikari, and pulls her up, PLANNING TO SLAM HIKARI DOWN FACE FIRST ON THE EXPOSED TOP TURNBUCKLE!
James Peters: BUT HIKARI GETS HER HANDS IN FRONT TO BLOCK IT, AND DRIVES THE BACK OF HER ELBOW INTO THE TLA’S ABDOMEN! HIKARI SLIPS BEHIND TLA FOR A REAR WAISTLOCK, AND DRIVES HIM STERNUM FIRST INTO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE FOR AN O’CONNOR ROLL! BUT HIKARI TRANSITIONS INTO A BRIDGING GERMAN SUPLEX! HIKARI LOOKING TO RETAIN!!!
ONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEEE-
Rich Russillo: KICKOUT BY TLA! WHILE THAT WAS A BEAUTIFUL BRIDGE BY HIKARI, IT WASNT ENOUGH TO PUT TLA AWAY! Hikari pounds the mat in frustration, but quickly reels herself in, and heads to the corner.
James Peters: Hikari has a dangerous look in her eyes as she eyes TLA, urging him to get back up. TLA slowly gets to a knee, his back turned towards Hikari, WHO RUNS IN, AND DELIVERS A KNEE STRIKE TO THE BACK OF HIS HEAD! TLA GOES DOWN, AND HIKARI QUICKLY CRAWLS INTO THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEE-
Rich Russillo: KICKOUT! Again, Hikari pounds the mat in frustration, seemingly unable to put TLA away here.
Persephone: Usually I want the match to end, but I want them to keep the violence coming! :shaq:
Charlie Marr: Hikari needs to keep the violence coming instead of whining like a little bi-
James Peters: :whoa: She’s not exactly whining, but I do think she’s frustrated, as TLA refuses to go down. Although, you can say it’s likewise with both competitors, as Hikari took a Mexican Destroyer from TLA, and is still alive in this contest.
Rich Russillo: TLA shows some signs of life himself, beginning to stir, getting up to all fours. Hikari grabs him in position for a gutwrench, and pulls TLA back to his feet, possibly looking for the Kanno Super Buster! BUT TLA TWIRLS OUT OF IT, AND SMACKS HIKARI ACROSS THE FACE WITH A SWAG SHOT!
James Peters: PIMP SLAP BY TLA, WHICH STUNS HIKARI, AS SHE IS STRUGGLING TO STAND! BUT HIKARI MANAGES TO SHOVE TLA BACK, AND HE REBOUNDS OFF THE ROPES! RUNNING DRAGONRANA BY TLA!
Rich Russillo: NO! HIKARI HOLDS HER GROUND, AND HAS TLA SUSPENDED UPSIDE DOWN! LOOK AT THE POWER! LOOK AT THE STRENGTH ON DISPLAY! HIKARI POWERS TLA UP IN POSITION FOR A POWERBOMB!
James Peters: AND THERE IT IS!!!!! SITOUT POWERBOMB BY HIKARI KANNO, WHO CAN’T EVEN CAPITALIZE BECAUSE OF THE PAIN THAT SHE’S IN!!!! Hikari slowly rolls away from TLA before using the ropes to pull herself up, and I don’t know what else she may have in mind but it can’t be good!
Persephone: Well she’s going back after TLA, and- WHAT THE HELL!? CROSSED PATHS! CROSSED PATHS IS LOCKED IN!
Rich Russillo: TLA IS WRENCHING ON THAT ARM, TRYING TO YANK THE SHOULDER OUT OF HIKARI’S SOCKET! HIKARI IS SCREAMING IN PAIN! BUT MANAGES TO ESCAPE BY SLITHERING HER WAY OUT UNDERNEATH THE BOTTOM ROPE, EXITING THE RING! Hikari favors her arm as she gets to a knee, BUT TLA RUNS OFF THE ROPES FOR A SUICIDE DIVE!
James Peters: NO! THIS TIME, HIKARI SAW IT COMING, AND TLA FLEW INTO A SHOT TO THE HEAD WITH THAT TIRE IRON FROM EARLIER THAT HIKARI INTRODUCED INTO THE MATCH! TLA looks out of it, and Hikari Kanno goes digging underneath the ring skirt.
(Hikari pulls out a trash can, which has the lid inside of it.)
Rich Russillo: TLA slowly begins to stir, BUT HIKARI PUTS A STOP TO THAT AS SHE SLAMS THE LID OF THE TRASH CAN OVER HIS HEAD, and now she tosses it aside as she seems more interested in the trash can itself!
Charlie Marr: Hikari’s fixing to take out the obvious trash that is TLA.
Rich Russillo: Hikari seats TLA up against the apron, and places that trash can on top of his torso. TLA is stirring, but I don’t think there’s enough wherewithal from him to recover quick enough for what Hikari Kanno has planned.
Persephone: Wait, what does she have planned? :comeagain:
(TLA is seated up against the apron, facing towards the rampway, and Hikari makes sure he stays that way before heading to TLA’s lowrider…)
James Peters: Oh no…
Persephone: Oh yes!
Charlie Marr: :roman: I did not expect this.
Rich Russillo: Hikari Kanno is planning to mow down TLA in his own lowrider! Cmon, not in front of Lola and Feliciano!
(The crowd reign down with boos, knowing the intentions Hikari Kanno has on her mind, as she enters the lowrider, and goes to start it.)
Hikari Kanno: https://tenor.com/view/kurt-angle-low-rider-eddie-guerrero-car-trap-gif-12446411
James Peters: WHAT THE?! IS THAT BABY POWDER?!
Rich Russillo: TLA MUSTVE PLANNED FOR AN EVENT LIKE THIS! AND SPEAKING OF, TLA HAS REMOVED THAT TRASH CAN OFF HIS BODY, AND OPENS THE CAR DOOR, SLAMMING HIKARI DOWN FACE FIRST ON THE STEERING WHEEL!
(**HONK!**)
James Peters: TLA PULLS HIKARI OUT THE CAR, AND THROWS HER TO THE FLOOR RINGSIDE! HIKARI GETS TO A KNEE, TRYING TO GET THAT BABY POWDER OUT OF HER EYES, BUT TLA GRABS THE TRASH CAN LID THAT SHE DISCARDED EARLIER, AND CRACKS HIKARI IN THE SKULL WITH IT, DROPPING HER!
Rich Russillo: TLA is marching toward our announce table now, wonder what else he has in mind-
James Peters: HEY!
Persephone: TLA just stole James’ belt! :mjlol:
Charlie Marr: Anything and everything can be used as a weapon in hardcore matches, I guess.
Rich Russillo: Hikari gets to all fours, AND TLA WHIPS HER ACROSS THE BACK WITH JAMES’ BELT! HIKARI TRIES CRAWLING PAST TLA, BUT GETS WHIPPED ACROSS THE BACK WITH THAT LEATHER BELT AGAIN!
(TLA tosses the belt back over to James, who catches, and hurries to put it back on.)
Rich Russillo: TLA retrieves the trash can that Hikari placed on top of him, AND HITS HER IN THE HEAD WITH IT AS SHE GOT BACK TO A VERTICAL BASE!
James Peters: TLA pushes the top step off the bottom, and grabs Hikari by the hair, dragging Hikari towards the bottom steel step, and gently lays her head down on it, prone. TLA slides back in the ring, and climbs the top turnbuckle farthest from Hikari.
Charlie Marr: There’s gotta be a method to this madness.
Rich Russillo: TLA perches himself on the top turnbuckle, and waits for Hikari to stir, slowly rising to a vertical base. TLA BEGINS WALKING THE ROPES, AND ROUNDS A CORNER TO DELIVER A MOONSAULT PLANCHA, CRUSHING HIKARI BETWEEN HIS BODY AND THE BOTTOM STEEL STEP!
James Peters: I BELIEVE HE CALLS THAT WALK DA WALK! TLA WITH AN IMPRESSIVE MANEUVER TO HIKARI, WHO IS MOTIONLESS ON THOSE STEEL STEPS, LYING SUPINE! BOTH COMPETITORS ARE A BLOODY MESS, BEING BUSTED OPEN, AND SOME OF THEIR BLOOD HAVING RUBBED OFF ON THE OTHER! HIKARI LITERALLY LOOKS LIKE A CRIME SCENE RIGHT NOW!
Charlie Marr: After that, she might be dead.
Persephone: You think so?! :gladbron:
James Peters: :wtf: Okay, you sounded way too excited.
Charlie Marr: Yeah, I agree. But ignoring her has worked for me thus far, and it’ll work for me right now.
Rich Russillo: TLA hobbles toward the ring apron, and goes digging underneath, STILL having more ideas in mind for Hikari Kanno, not planning to beat her just yet.
James Peters: She tried to hit him with a car. TLA’s aggression here might be justified.
Rich Russillo: TLA keeps digging underneath the ring, and pulls out a…LADDER! TLA has introduced a ladder into the match! Hikari painfully sits up on the steel step, BUT GETS KNOCKED RIGHT BACK DOWN AS TLA SMASHES HER IN THE FACE WITH THE TOP OF THAT LADDER!
James Peters: TLA leans the ladder up against the ringpost, and pulls Hikari Kanno back to her feet. TLA goes to irish whip her into the ladder- BUT HIKARI REVERSES, SENDING TLA INSTEAD! TLA HALTS HIS MOMENTUM BEFORE IMPACT, AND TURNS AROUND, KNOCKING HIKARI DOWN WITH A RIGHT HAND! SHE WAS ALREADY STRUGGLING TO STAND, AND THAT PUNCH WAS ALL IT TOOK TO KNOCK HER DOWN!
Rich Russillo: TLA HOOKS BOTH LEGS OF HIKARI, AND SLINGSHOT CATAPULTS HER FACE FIRST INTO THE LADDER! HIKARI IS BACK ON SPAGHETTI LEGS, AND GETS ROLLED INSIDE THE RING BY TLA FOR A COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEE!!
James Peters: NO! HIKARI GETS THE SHOULDER UP! BARELY! TLA Doesn’t look too phased, however, and exits the ring, retrieving the ladder, and attempting to slide it inside the ring. BUT HIKARI BASEBALL SLIDES THE LADDER RIGHT INTO THE RIBS OF TLA, WHO GOES DOWN IN FRONT OF OUR COMMENTARY DESK!
Rich Russillo: Hikari hobbles toward TLA, and rolls him back inside the ring. Hikari gets up on the apron, and begins climbing to the top turnbuckle, noticeably slow, having been on the receiving end of a lot of punishment, which has cost her a lot of blood.
James Peters: BUT HIKARI’S PACE ALLOWED TLA ENOUGH TIME TO RECOVER AS HE LEAPS TO THE TOP ROPE, AND RIPS HIKARI OFF THE TOP TURNBUCKLE WITH A SUPERPL-
Rich Russillo: NO!!! HIKARI KANNO SLIDES DOWN THE TOP ROPE BEFORE PULLING TLA OFF OF THE TOP ROPE WITH A POWERBOMB!!!! HIKARI NOW WITH THE COVER!!!!!
ONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEE-
Rich Russillo: Kickout, just barely before three!
Persephone: If after all this, the match ended in a regular powerbomb. :francis:
Charlie Marr: I would’ve stormed the ring, and attacked both for them wasting my damn time.
Rich Russillo: Hikari slowly begins pushing herself back up, and at this point both Elitists are beginning to push themselves up. Hikari pulls TLA back up, AND EXPLODES WITH A RIGHT HAND! TLA RESPONDS BACK WITH ONE OF HIS OWN! HIKARI REBUTTALS WITH ANOTHER RIGHT HAND! TLA DOES THE SAME!
James Peters: HIKARI! TLA! HIKARI! TLA! HIKARI! TLA! HIKARI! TLA! HIKARI! TLA! TLA! TLA! TLA! TLA! TLA! TLA! TLA IS MOUNTING MOMENTUM WITH RIGHT HANDS- BUT HIKARI! HIKARI KICKS HIM BELOW THE BELT WITH A LOW BLOW! ANYTHING GOES IN A HARDCORE MATCH!
Rich Russillo: TLA DROPS TO BOTH KNEES, AND HIKARI GRABS THE TOOLBOX FROM EARLIER, TAKING IT, AND SMASHING TLA IN THE BACK OF HIS HEAD WITH IT! TLA GOES DOWN, AND HIKARI GRABS THOSE NUTS AND BOLTS FROM EARLIER, BEGINNING TO SPREAD THEM ON THE CANVAS, ALMOST AS IF THEY WERE THUMBTACKS!
James Peters: HIKARI PULLS TLA UP TO HIS FEET, AND PLANTS HIM ON THE NUTS AND BOLTS WITH ALLELUIA! NORTHERN LIGHTS BOMB CONNECTS! HOOK OF THE LEG!
ONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
Rich Russillo: KICKOUT! TLA GETS THE SHOULDER UP!
Charlie Marr: At this point, what WILL end this match?
James Peters: Hikari checks with the referee on if that was truly a two count, but the referee affirms it was. Therefore, Hikari turns her attention back to TLA, who has risen to all fours, beginning to stir. Hikari pulls him back to his feet, BUT TLA EXPLODES WITH A SLAP, FOLLOWED BY MULTIPLE, ALTERNATING BETWEEN HANDS!
Rich Russillo: HIKARI RESPONDS BACK WITH HARD SMACKS OF HER OWN, STUNNING TLA LONG ENOUGH FOR A ROLLING ELBO- NO! TLA WITH A BIG BOO- NO! IT WAS A FAKE OUT, AND HE SPUN INTO A BACK ELBOW INSTEAD! HIKARI IS ON WOBBLY LEGS, AND TLA PUTS HER IN POSITION FOR A BUCKLE BOMB! TLA SENDS HIKARI BACK FIRST INTO THE EXPOSED TURNBUCKLE WITH A BUCKLE BOMB!
James Peters: HIKARI STUMBLES OUT OF THE CORNER BEFORE COLLAPSING TO ALL FOURS! TLA PUTS HER IN POSITION FOR THE MEXICAN DESTROYER! SPIKING HIKARI ON HER HEAD AGAIN! TLA ROLLS HIKARI OVER FOR A COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
James Peters: KICKOUT!!!
Persephone: At this point, the next thing TLA needs to retrieve underneath the ring is a gun!
Rich Russillo: HIKARI SURVIVED THE EXPOSED TURNBUCKLE, AND MEXICAN DESTROYER COMBINATION! But the gears have to be turning in TLA’s head, questioning what will keep Hikari down.
James Peters: Well, he might have an idea as he rolls out of the ring, and slides the ladder in. TLA stands the ladder up, one side facing towards the corner. While TLA is setting the ladder up, Hikari rolls out of the ring, creating space and separation. TLA notices this, and exits the ring next, knocking Hikari down with a right hand soon as she got up!
Rich Russillo: TLA goes digging underneath the ring, and slides in a BARBED WIRE TABLE! But he doesn’t stop there, and takes another table, which appears to be regular. TLA sets it up ringside, and goes digging underneath the ring again. Hikari is back to her feet, and staggers toward a distracted TLA, looking to turn him around.
James Peters: BUT TLA BLOWS A FIRE EXTINGUISHER IN THE FACE OF HIKARI, BACKING HER UP AGAINST THE TABLE, WHICH SHE LAYS ACROSS AFTER BEING CRACKED IN THE SKULL WITH SAID EXTINGUISHER! TLA HOPS ON THE APRON, AND CLIMBS TO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE, BACK FACING HIKARI FOR A MOONSAULT THROUGH THE TABLE!
Rich Russillo: HIKARI GOT OUT OF THE WAY!!!! HIKARI AVOIDS IT, AND TLA CRASHES INTO THE TABLE ON HIS OWN!!! HIKARI IS ABLE TO PULL HERSELF BACK TO HER FEET, AND NOW SHE HAS THE UPPER HAND!
James Peters: Hikari doesn’t go for the cover, and begins setting up the barbed wire table! Hikari looks at the ladder that’s right by the table, and I think she just got an idea as she slowly begins to climb up the ladder!
Charlie Marr: She wants a definitive victory, which is good because I’m tired of these two.
Rich Russillo: Hikari Kanno makes it to the third to the last rung, that is before she notices TLA climbing up on the opposite side of the ladder, having peeled himself off the barbed wire table, still having some fight left in him!
James Peters: TLA MAKES IT EYE LEVEL WITH HIKARI, BUT SHE CATCHES HIM WITH A RIGHT HAND! TLA RESPONDS WITH ONE BACK! HIKARI ALMOST GOES FLYING OFF THE LADDER, BUT HANGS ON! THE LANDING WOULD NOT BE IDEAL FOR HER, GIVEN THE BARBED WIRE TABLE! BUT TLA GETS CAUGHT WITH A RIGHT HAND THAT STUNS HIM AS WELL! IF TLA FALLS OFF, HE COULD TAKE A TRIP TO THE OUTSIDE, WHICH WOULD UNDOUBTEDLY LEAVE HIM INCAPACITATED!
Rich Russillo: HIKARI HOOKS TLA UP FOR A SUPERPLEX, BUT TLA FIGHTS OUT OF IT WITH SHOTS TO THE RIB CAGE! HIKARI GETS SLAMMED FACE FIRST OFF THE TOP OF THE LADDER! AND TLA CLIMBS A LITTLE HIGHER! HIKARI IS DAZED, AND VULNERABLE FOR AN AVALANCHE MEXICAN DESTROYER!
James Peters; VERY MEXICAN DESTROYER THROUGH THE BARBED WIRE TABLE, AND THAT WASN’T JUST ANY TABLE! THAT WAS AN **EXPLODING** BARBED WIRE TABLE!!
Rich Russillo: HIKARI IS CONVULSING ON THE CANVAS, AND BOTH COMPETITORS ARE SPRAWLED ON THE CANVAS! TLA IS MOTIONLESS AFTER THAT MOVE!
James Peters: SPOKE TOO SOON! TLA IS SHOWING SIGNS OF LIFE, AND MANAGES TO DRAG HIMSELF OVER TO HIKARI, LAYING HIS BODY OVER HER, LOOKING TO HAVE USED BIT OF ENERGY TO DO SO!
ONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Bella Braxton: HERES YOUR WINNERR… AND NEW EAW HARDCORE CHAMPIONN… TLA!!
(‘Ambitionz az a Ridah’ by Tupac plays to a thunderous reaction from fans, and TLA manages to roll off Hikari’s body before lying next to her, sprawled on the canvas, barely moving. Concern washes over Lola, who is unsure of the condition TLA is in right now.)
James Peters: TLA HAS DONE IT! TLA HAS OVERCOME HIKARI KANNO!
Persephone: THAT WAS AN INSANE ENDING, THOSE TWO CRASHING THROUGH THE TABLE WITH A CANADIAN DESTROYER OFF THE LADDER!
Rich Russillo: And while TLA may be our new Hardcore Champion, it didn’t come easy, as he lies in a heap next to Hikari.
(The referee retrieves the Hardcore Title, and drapes it over a still downed TLA, who barely manages to sit up, and scoots himself back in the corner, looking down at the Hardcore Championship, which rests in his lap.)
Rich Russillo: This was so personal, and now Lola and Feliciano get to watch as TLA captures another Championship!
Charlie Marr: Well neither of them died, but at least it’s over. Could’ve been worse, I guess
James Peters: Congratulations to TLA, but I think the celebration for his title win may need to come at another time.
(Medical rushes down, and surrounds Hikari, beginning to strap her to a stretcher. Meanwhile, another field tends to TLA in the corner, checking for signs of a concussion in his eyes, using a flashlight. TLA assures them he’s fine, and uses the corner for assistance in getting back to his feet before raising the Hardcore Title high in the air. TLA collapses down to all fours after this, and medics swarm him once more as the camera fades elsewhere.)
(Pain for Pride fades backstage and immediately the audience starts to boo. A smiling, jubilant Ronan Malosi is seen walking down the hallway dressed in his ring gear and a rather obnoxious and fancy ring jacket. He has what appears to be a gift in his hands and when he finally comes to a stop, it becomes clear as to who he’s come to see. The nameplate on the door reads ‘Eden Sinclair’ and before he knocks, Ronan reaches into the pocket to pull something out.)
Ronan Malosi: Gotta make sure I’m fresh.
(It’s breath freshener spray and Ronan sprays an abnormal amount of it in his mouth. Once he’s satisfied with that, he puts it back in the pocket of his ring jacket and knocks on the door.)
(A few seconds later, Eden opens it and when she sees it’s Ronan, her face falls.)
Eden Sinclair: Oh. It’s you.
Ronan Malosi: We’ll damn. It’s good to see you too.
(Ronan doesn’t wait to be invited in. He walks past Eden and takes a seat on the couch. Eden turns around and when she sees Ronan patting the cushion beside him, she gets annoyed.)
Eden Sinclair: I really don’t have time for this today.
Ronan Malosi: But babe, my match is coming up in a bit and I thought you wanna wish me good luck since you’ve basically forced me into this position.
(Eden’s look for annoyance turns into full-fledged disgust.)
Eden Sinclair: If you’re going to start your bullshit again , then I suggest you get out of my office immediately. Just shut up, take whatever beating the #Besties are no doubt going to give you, and try to keep some of your dignity intact. The draft is coming up and considering Voltage will NOT be your home next season, you need to make sure Kennedy Street and Tyrone Montgomery see some kind of value in you so you don’t end up not drafted like you were a few years ago.
Ronan Malosi: Now hold on. What do you mean Voltage won’t be my home next season? I’m the face of the brand! When Minerva went looking for a challenger on last year’s Draft Show, I was the first man to step up to the plate and remind her of her place! I would have given her the shortest EAW Championship reign in history too if it hadn’t been for that piece of dust getting in my eye! Shit hindered me the ENTIRE match. As a matter of fact, I think I should be given a chance to face Drake or Methuselah at next week’s Draft Show in a title match.
(Eden looks at Ronan like he’s lost his mind.)
Eden Sinclair: Let me get this straight. You want to face the winner of Drake King versus Methuselah next week?
(An arrogant smirk crossed Ronan’s face as he patted himself on the back.)
Ronan Malosi: Damn right I do! No better way for me to start Season 17 than by walking in as the EAW World Champion.
(Unable to help herself, Eden laughed. This didn’t sit too well with Ronan, who stood up and stared her down.)
Ronan Malosi: What’s funny about that?
Eden Sinclair: You can’t even handle the #DisneyBesties and you’re demanding a world title match against the winner of Barbed Wire Massacre IX??
Ronan Malosi: Methuselah is an old piece of garbage who’s better days are behind him and Drake King doesn’t even reside on this planet. That idiot is so delusional he thinks he’s God or something. He’s easy to beat. I did it a few years ago on Dynasty!
Eden Sinclair: :usure:??
(Ronan ignores her.)
Ronan Malosi: The only God that walks these halls is the man standing right here in front of you.
(Ronan gestures towards himself.)
Ronan Malosi: God himself couldn’t have handcrafted a finer human being thank yours truly. I’m a South African GOD!
Eden Sinclair: You’re shit.
Ronan Malosi: .
Eden Sinclair: I’m not about to give you any kind of championship match, let alone a world title match, but if you want to face either Methuselah or Drake next week, then be my guest. In fact, since Disney is allowing EAW to return to its roots, which I don’t agree with but that’s neither here nor there, why don’t we make the match next week… A HELL IN A CELL?
Ronan Malosi: :whoa: Now hold on a second. Why would I ever want to lower myself to the level of Drake King and Methuselah if the EAW Championship isn’t on the line? I’m not taking any match next week if a title isn’t on the line!
Eden Sinclair: You WILL take the match especially since you came in here and asked for it. Next week, you will face the winner of Barbed Wire Massacre IX in a non-title Hell in a Cell match. And if you so much as open your mouth, I’ll add some other stipulation to it that I’m sure you will hate.
(Now it’s Ronan’s turn to be pissed off.)
Ronan Malosi: Way to react with your emotions. Screwing me out of a championship match and forcing me to put my health and well-being on the line just because you’re pissed off about something that happened ages ago. Shit’s not worth it, and to think. I came down here not only for you to wish me luck, but to give you something.
(Eden rolls her eyes.)
Eden Sinclair: If it’s another cheap piece of jewelry from Claire’s you can take it right back to the mall.
Ronan Malosi: For your information, I didn’t go to Claire’s. I flew to New York after last week’s Voltage before coming back to Tennessee for Pain for Pride, and I went to Tiffany’s!
(Eden is skeptical.)
Eden Sinclair: You went to Tiffany’s and actually spent money?
Ronan Malosi: Well… I went to Tiffany’s but all that stuff is real and it’s hella expensive. So I left. BUT… I did get you something that I know you’ll like. Here!
(Ronan holds his gift out and he is extremely proud. Eden doesn’t want anything to do with it, but against her better judgment, she takes the gift bag from him. She removes the tissue paper and pulls out what appears to be one of those airbrushed T-shirts you get on beach vacations that are super gaudy.)

Eden Sinclair: .
Ronan Malosi: Well?? What do you think???
(Eden balls the shirt up and throws it at Ronan.)
Eden Sinclair: Get out.
Ronan Malosi: :wtf: Seriously?
Eden Sinclair: Yes. GET OUT!
Ronan Malosi: Man. You may be the most ungrateful bitch I have ever come across in my life. I give you the absolute best of me and you shit on everything I say or do. NOTHING is good enough for you, is it? I love you. I spend time with you. I’m an incredibly generous lover. I treat you like a damn queen and all you do is bitch at me. I’m sick of it!
Eden Sinclair: I’VE BEEN SICK OF YOU! YOU HAD ONE JOB! DESTROY #DISNEYBESTIES AND YOU FAILED! You fail at EVERYTHING! And when you ultimately end up losing tonight and then turn around and lose next week, I hope you finally get it through your stupid head that you are NOT anything that you say you are. You are a FAILURE! A good for nothing, literal failure who will never amount to anything in his life.
Ronan Malosi: Wow, E. Tell me how you really feel.
(Ronan actually sounds a little hurt, but Eden doesn’t care.)
Eden Sinclair: I have. Time and again, I have told you how I feel, but you don’t care. You don’t care about anything or anyone other than yourself and I wonder why I’m torn on whether or not I should keep this ba-
(Ronan’s eyes widen as Eden clamps her hand over her mouth.)
Ronan Malosi: I’m sorry… what were you about to say??
Eden Sinclair: Nothing. Just leave, Ronan. I’m done with you. We’re finished.
Ronan Malosi: Oh nah. You were really about to say that you couldn’t decide if you were about to keep this baby, weren’t you? Are you pregnant?
Eden Sinclair: Unfortunately.
Ronan Malosi: WHAT?! HOW DID THIS HAPPEN??
Eden Sinclair: YOU TELL ME! YOU TOLD ME YOU HAD A VASECTOMY AND WE DIDN’T HAVE TO USE A CONDOM!
Ronan Malosi: I TOLD YOU THAT BECAUSE I HAVE A DAMN LATEX ALLERGY AND IT WOULD IRRITATE MY SKIN! YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN ON THE PILL!!!
Eden Sinclair: I’VE NEVER HAD TO TAKE THE PILL BECAUSE I WAS A VIRGIN BEFORE I MET YOU!
Ronan Malosi: IT’S NOT MINE! It can’t be mine. How many other people have you slept with?!
Eden Sinclair: You know goddamn well you’re the only person I’ve been with and if nothing else, this conversation has told me everything I need to know. I’m definitely having an abortion.
Ronan Malosi: Oh no! No way! If that child is mine, you will NOT be getting rid of it.
(Eden folds her arms across her chest.)
Eden Sinclair: MY BODY! MY CHOICE!
Ronan Malosi: NOT ACCORDING TO THE LAW!
Eden Sinclair: ABORTION IS STILL LEGAL IN IOWA!
(Ronan and Eden glare at one another, and it’s clear that this turn of events has certainly shocked Ronan. He doesn’t know what to say and finally Eden points at the door.)
Eden Sinclair: Go.
(Ronan shakes his head, not even sure what to say for the first time in his life, but he finally listens and walks to the door.)
Ronan Malosi: Man. I just came in here because I wanted you to wish me good luck.
(Eden stalks behind Ronan and basically shoves him through the door. He turns around to say something else, but the door slams in his face and he hears it lock. Balling up his fist, Ronan punches the door, and he storms off.)
(Pain for Pride temporarily fades out.)
( Pain for Pride XVI returns from an ad to the Draft Show, and the screen begins showing a graphic that receives a massive cheer from the crowd. )

Gina Romano: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS A FATAL FOUR WAYS TAG TEAM MATCH FOR EAW UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS!… AND IT’S SCHEDULED FOR!….
Crowd: ONE FALL!
( ‘It Follows’ by Cane Hill then starts hitting the PA system as Xander Payne comes out, spotted in a white Dominion shirt with white shorts, showing the DOMINION logo on the side. Xander takes a deep breath, looking down at the ring with himself, reflecting on another year of PayenForPride that will be nothing different. Then he looks up, saying the waiting, and ‘The Only Thing They Fear Is You’ by Mick Gordon begins playing as Ryan Joseph Wilson is spotted in the same style of outfit, coming out and standing beside Xander. These two look at each other, then nodding, hugging, and turning their eyes down to the ring as they start walking together to officially make their way down to the ring. )
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST!… AT A COMBINED WEIGHT OF 475 POUNDS!… THE TEAM OF XANDER PAYNE AND RYAN JOSEPH WILSON!… THEY ARE…. DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNIIIIIIIOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: LET’S GO SHOWDOWN! WOO! WE WRESTLE!
Persephone: USA! USA! USA!
Gavin Kirkland: Ehem, actually! :nerd: :point_up:
Stew-O: Yeah, Gavin is right. They are from Canada, not America. Tonight is a big night for everybody, including these two. Ryan and Xander have been doing quite a lot of talks about getting this second chance heading into this match. They’re not just here to pick up a win. Ryan wants this. Xander wants this. Dominion wants to pick up a win and hold onto their position, but there will be only one team that is going to do it, so!
Persephone: Remember when I did the episode of #PersephoneKnowsBest last year? So listen… this year, I have one for Xander.
Stew-O: Yeah?
Gavin Kirkland: What’s that?
Persephone: HE DOESN’T WATCH THE SHOW! :mjlol: :mjlol: :mjlol: :mjlol: :mjlol: :mjlol:
Stew-O: :mjlol:

Stew-O: Alright, even if that is true or not, you have to admit that Xander deserves the Hall of Fame position for a reason. And for this position, he deserves to lead DOMINION to be here, considering the dedication and hard work they have shown before heading into this match. And tonight, it’s going to be more than just #PainForPride… this is going to be.., #DOMINION4PRIDE
( Xander and Ryan enter the ring, and Ryan whispers to Xander. Xander nods in response, and Ryan goes behind the ropes with Xander leaning against the corner, waiting for the rest to come out. ‘Run This Town’ Jay Z, feat. Rihanna then begins playing as Sierra Bradford and Mei Sasaki make their entrance, flaunting their fabulous green, orange, and white attire that they are showcasing tonight. Serenity Valdez follows them from behind, but she is just here to drop off the two before tapping their shoulders, smiling at them, and heading to the back. Sierra and Mei then adopt a serious expressions and begin making their way down to the ring. )
Gina Romano: NEXT!… AT A COMBINED WEIGHT OF 246 POUNDS!… THE TEAM OF MEI SASAKI AND SIERRA BRADFORD!… THEY ARE… THE QUEENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!…. BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stew-O: I- Alright look man, they are just walking to the ring.
Persephone: The Queen Bees at Pain For Pride? No way!
Stew-O: Enough, both of you. The Queen Bees have been making a great impact since these three well-known women of the Dynasty roster came together, forming a dominant force. Tonight, will it be Bees for Pride or just another win for them? Let’s see how things are going to unfold in that ring! Sierra also had the Unified Tag Team title under her belt before, which means she has experience heading into this match, and she may be a major key in winning this match against the rest of the competitors!
( Sierra and Mei enter the ring together, their eyes locked on Xander and Ryan in the opposite corner where they are standing right now. The music fades out, then is replaced by ‘A&D’ by YNL Jordan. The smoke begins to fill up the stage as Kirk Redwood rises up from the floor, looking incredibly menacing with his attitude reflecting the mixture of blood red and black, symbolizing the demon rising from hell. Meanwhile, Solomon Stane can be seen descending from the arena’s ceiling, praying and descending with a sling on his back helping him, dressed in all white with a hint of blue in his attire, resembling a saint from heaven. Both men step onto the stage at the same time, then they begin making their way down to the ring. )
Gina Romano: AND NEXT!… AT A COMBINED WEIGHT OF 476 POUNDS!… THE TEAM OF KIRK REDWOOD AND SOLOMON STANE!… THEY ARE…. OFF-BRAND!…. AMMMMMMMMMMPPPPPPPPPHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEETTTTTTTTAAAAAAAAMMMMMMIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: I can give them one thing about THIS entrance….
Persephone: What’s that?
Gavin Kirkland: Choosing the song by the hottest artist on Spotify, future Grammy award winner like YNL Jordan as their theme song! :drakelike:
Persephone: Who?
Gavin Kirkland: YNL Jordan!
Persephone: Yeah whatever, sounds like a boring youtube channel.
Gavin Kirkland: Motherfuc-
Stew-O: The former Unified Tag Team champions are here! Last year at Pain For Pride, OBA defended the title against Ice Aces and managed to secure a win, earning the title defense under their belt. Tonight, they are back again, and this time, they are looking forward to becoming the two-time Unified Tag Team champions!
( Kirk and Solomon go into their corners, with Kirk slipping beneath the ropes and Solomon warming up a little before the camera cuts, showing Mei standing on the apron with Sierra standing in front of her team’s corner. The camera then cuts back to OBA talking to each other before ‘Tot Musica’ by Ado begins playing, capturing everyone’s attention in the ring immediately. The spotlight shines down to the middle of the stage and reveals Holly Arrow and Harper Lee, POTARA, standing with their backs facing each other. Holly Arrow appears with completely black hair, an orange scarf wrapped around her neck, and narrow light blue contact lenses enhancing her appearance. Her outfit also appears to be black, with a small Potara logo in red stamped on the waist part of her main attire, inspired by Android 17 from the Dragon Ball franchise. Harper Lee, on the other hand, showcases full blonde hair and wears a blue denim vest and skirt. The red Potara logo is displayed on the back of the vest, matching the one on Holly’s attire. Harper also wears dark blue tights, a brown belt, brown boots, and a black shirt with white and black striped long sleeves, all also inspired by Android 18 from the Dragon Ball franchise. POTARA’s attire is indeed inspired by the Android twins from the Dragon Ball franchise tonight at Pain For Pride then they both confidently walk out of the limelight, proudly displaying their complete attire, with the EAW Unified Tag Team titles in their hands as both of them smile at their opponents who were waiting for them in that ring as they keep on walking. )
Gina Romano: AND FINALLY!… AT A COMBINED WEIGHT OF 267 POUNDS!… THEY ARE EAW UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS!… THE TEAM OF HARPER LEE AND HOLLY ARROW!…. POOOOOOOOOOOOOTTTTTTTTTTAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: I can’t do this anymore guys, give me a second.
Stew-O: ??????????????
Persephone: The match is about to start, bro.
Gavin Kirkland: Yeah but my… ah!
Stew-O: Okay that’s it, you get timeout’d. This is officially the first time ever that POTARA is going to defend their title since their victory over Soul Food Sunday at Grand Ramahe earlier this year. POTARA has been tremendously successful in the Showdown brand thus far, and tonight, they are determined to overcome any obstacle in their path and prove their worth as the tag team champions. Will they be able to successfully defend their title here or not? We are about to find out now!
( DING DING DING! )
Stew-O: The highly anticipated four-way battle between two teams from Dynasty and two teams from Showdown has finally begun here at Pain For Pride! The crowd is electrified, and everyone is ready to witness this spectacle of tag team wrestling! Xander kicks off this match as the legal representative of his team, while OBA sends out Solomon Stane! POTARA has Harper Lee to start this match, and The Queen Bees send out Sierra Bradford as their starting member!
Gavin Kirkland: Four men and four beautiful women. Of course, I prefer women as always. Those four are like top-tier Disney Princesses, so I have no doubt in my mind that I wouldn’t pick them as my personal favorites. Coming to this matchup… I’m kindaaaaaaa leaning towards Holly and Harper, so POTARA will be sweeping and cleaning the whole ring to pick up this win, no matter what. Even if Queen Bees win, I will at least be happy, but not as happy as seeing POTARA winning. :wow:
Persephone: Queen Bees winning? At Pain For Pride? Good joke, Gavin! :mjlol:
Gavin Kirkland: :wtf:
Stew-O: AND IT’S OFFICIALLY BEGUN RIGHT HERE AS XANDER TAKES THE FIRST BLOOD OF THIS MATCH BY DELIVERING A SUPERKICK, SENDING THE BIG MAN SOLOMON OUT OF THE RING IMMEDIATELY! Harper runs in and rolls Xander from behind, but Sierra quickly breaks it up and tries to shove her down to the mat sideways! Harper shifts her position and dives through the ropes, landing on the concrete floor instead!
Gavin Kirkland: Xander executes a Reverse Judo Takedown from behind Harper, QUICKLY AND DECISIVELY DROPPING HER WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK, ALMOST TAKING HARPER’S HEAD OFF! Xander picks up Harper and now sends him into the ropes! Harper bounces off as Xander goes for a stiff Forearm, but Harper ducks under his arm, pushing Xander into the ropes instead. Xander bounces off and an impressive dropkick from Harper just dropped the former World Heavyweight Champion!
Stew-O: Sierra now returns back inside the ring with her rolling back inside, targeting Harper from behind and quickly sending her crashing into the corner! Sierra runs off and connects her quick and lethal Step-Up Knee Strike to Harper’s jaw at the corner!

Gavin Kirkland: Solomon slides back into the ring and quickly gets to his feet, running down and DELIVERING A MASSIVE BIG BOOT TO SIERRA’S CHEST, SENDING HER FLYING INTO THE CORNER WITH THE FORCE OF THE KICK! Here comes the 2022 Hall of Famer, Xander Payne, returning to the match, picking up a bone with Solomon by delivering a stiff forearm across his face! Xander follows it up with a running shoot kick to Solomon’s jaw in combination, trying to take him down! Xander finishes the sequence with a Leg Sweep, but SOLOMON HOPS OFF THE GROUND, AVOIDING THE SWEEP AND STAYING ON HIS FEET!
Stew-O: Xander turns his attention back to the Deliverer, but he is immediately caught off guard as SOLOMON DROPS HIM WITH A BELL CLAP, STUNNING XANDER AND LEAVING HIM MOMENTARILY DISORIENTED! Solomon quickly grabs Xander before SENDING THE 255-POUND COCAINE BEAR FLYING AND CRASHING INTO SIERRA, WHO HAS JUST RECOVERED FROM THE BIG BOOT, WITH AN EXPLODER SUPLEX! WHAT A DISPLAY OF POWER BY SOLOMON STANE, TAKING DOWN BOTH COMPETITORS AT THE SAME TIME!
Persephone: :damn: Finally, something worth watching from OBA!
Gavin Kirkland: Don’t forget that Harper is still on her feet, and now she’s stalking Solomon from behind, grabbing him and quickly kicking the big guy’s teeth in with a Ripcord Bicycle Kick! Solomon is still standing, holding his jaw, but Harper drops him to his knees with a Front Dropkick to his legs! Solomon falls, and Harper rolls back… A JUMPING DDT CONNECTS! Harper heads down over to the corner of her team…

Persephone: Alright calm down, you weirdo. We have a match going on here. Holly Arrow is now the legal woman of her team!

She bounces off herself before connecting with an Inazuma Leg Lariat, sending Xander crashing to the ground again!
Stew-O: Sierra pushes herself out of the corner, going for a Scorpion Kick, but Holly catches her legs, pushing them forward to avoid the kick and allowing Sierra to land back on her feet. Holly steps in and delivers a strong shoot kick to Sierra’s chest that we could hear from where we’re sitting! Holly then grabs Sierra by her wrist and sends her running down to the corner, charging in and connecting with a Corner Running European Uppercut!
Gavin Kirkland: Yes, that’s how you do it! Show them what real wrestling looks like, yah queen rawr! A back elbow strikes Sierra’s temple, sending her to the middle of the ring with a Snapmare!… RUNNING OFF THE ROPES AND CONNECTING WITH A DROPKICK ON SIERRA! A SNAPMARE DROPKICK SIMMERING DOWN ONE OF POTARA’S CHALLENGERS! WHAT A COMBINATION!
Persephone: Solomon backs away from the DDT, but Holly isn’t giving him any time to regain his composure. She immediately uses her agility and unleashes her power to send Solomon flying with a Straight Jacket move! What? Is she really going to do it? Would she? Would she?
Gavin Kirkland: No, Holly fails to connect with Solomon’s struggle and gives him enough chance to escape! Solomon drives a backward elbow into the face of Holly Arrow, turning back around and connecting with a Rolling Elbow Smash across her jaw! Solomon now lifts Holly up and tries to send her flying over his body with a Fallaway Slam!
Stew-O: Holly keeps using her elbow repeatedly on the side of Solomon’s neck to make an escape as Solomon lets Holly off guard just when he was about to apply it! Solomon falls back, covering up the side of his own neck with his right hand, stepping back and attempting to take down Holly with a Big Boot… But Holly catches the leg, throws it away, and hits Solomon with a Palm Strike! She swoops in and gives her target a taste of the Swinging Neckbreaker, leaving one-half of Off Brand Amphetamines in the dust!
Gavin Kirkland: Holly manages to take everyone out on her own and now refocuses on her match. But here comes Sierra running towards her, attempting to take her down with a Bicycle Kick!

Xander charges towards her, aiming for a corner attack, but Sierra quickly steps up, DELIVERING A SUDDEN SPINNING KICK THAT PUSHES HIM OUT OF THE CORNER! SOLOMON RETURNS TO THE MATCH AND IMMEDIATELY TURNS XANDER INSIDE OUT WITH A SPINNING BACK FIST, RIGHT AFTER SIERRA HAD ALREADY INFLICTED DAMAGE TO XANDER’S MANDIBLE!
( TAG! )
Gavin Kirkland: Sierra makes a blind tag with Mei, who had been patiently waiting on the apron for her chance to intervene.

MEI LIFTS THE 266-POUND GIANT OFF THE GROUND AND DRIVES HIM DOWN TO THE CANVAS WITH A HUGE GERMAN SUPLEX! INCREDIBLE COMBINATION BY TWO MEMBERS OF THE QUEEN BEES THERE!

Mei seizes Holly’s wrist and expertly maneuvers herself into position…. HAMMERLOCK STO PLANTS!
Persephone: Now it’s Xander! This resilient dude has returned once again, and looked to fulfill his mission before meeting his fate! Xander remains in this match as he turns Mei around and hoists her onto his shoulder! XANDER IS SETTING UP FOR HIS DEVASTATING SIGNATURE MOVE, ‘LAST SEDATION’ POP-UP POWERBOMB THAT COULD POTENTIALLY END IT ALL RIGHT HERE! Mei counters with agility… SENDING XANDER TUMBLING TO THE GROUND WITH A HURRICANRANA!
Gavin Kirkland: Xander rolls down to the ground with Mei taking advantage of the situation. Mei is now heading up to the top rope instead of Xander still being down there! What is Mei going for here? She’s already on top while Xander is still recovering! Mei looks to launch herself off the top rope for sure!
Stew-O: Yes, she does, and she flies off, looking to take down the Hall of Famer with a Flying Crossbody, but XANDER CATCHES HER! Ryan immediately rushes into the ring and takes down rising Holly with a Dropkick right into her face and another Dropkick to Solomon Stane! Both Dominion members are in the ring now… A SINGLE KNEE GUTBUSTER BY XANDER… FOLLOWED BY A KNEE DROP ON THE TOP OF MEI’S HEAD BY RYAN JOSEPH WILSON!
Gavin Kirkland: They aren’t done toying with Mei yet before Xander changes his position and now lifts Mei up off the ground with a Wheelbarrow, SENDING HER RIGHT INTO THE KNEES OF RYAN JOSEPH WILSON! A DOUBLE KNEE FACEBREAKER DEVASTATING THE DARK KITSUNE! XANDER NOW IMMEDIATELY LIFTS HER OFF RYAN’S KNEES AND GOES FOR A WHEELBARROW SUPLEX TO FINALIZE THEIR TEAM COMBINATION!
Stew-O: Sierra enters the ring and rescues Mei from the chaos! Ryan immediately heads down to the apron, knowing that something isn’t going to happen while Xander turns back around and tries to fight, but SIERRA QUICKLY DROPS XANDER, CAUSING HIM TO FALL BACK DOWN INTO THE CORNER WITH A SCORPION KICK DIRECTLY TO HIS NOSE! Xander falls into the corner….

Ryan lands both feet on the mat and charges at Mei, sending her over the ropes and down to the outside with a clothesline!
Stew-O: Holly approaches Ryan from behind and rolls him up! Holly pushes herself off the ground, gets to her feet, steps in, and goes for a Shoot Kick aimed at Ryan’s chest, but Ryan ducks beneath her leg! Ryan quickly gets up and takes down Holly with a Northern Lariat to the back of her head!
Gavin Kirkland: Mei recovers from the clothesline and reaches for the apron, entering the ring slowly…. OH, LOOK OUT! SOLOMON SLIDES BACK AND IMMEDIATELY CATCHES HER WITH A DISCUS BACK ELBOW, KNOCKING HER DOWN AT THE ENTRY DOOR! Solomon instantly shifts his target to Ryan before grabbing him and attempting to toss him at Mei with a Biel Throw, but Mei ducks under, causing him to hit the ropes hard and then fall down to the outside!

( TAG! )
Stew-O: Kirk Redwood quickly tags by tapping his arm and enters the ring, running in and immediately taking down Mei with a big chop! Kirk grabs her and sends her running down into the corner, then follows up by entering the corner himself and KNOCKING OUT MEI’S TEETH WITH A RUNNING KNEE STRIKE! HE SEIZES HER UP FOR A MOMENT, THEN DROPS MEI ONTO THE MAT WITH A TIGER SUPLEX!
Gavin Kirkland: NO! Come on, please! Holly gets back on her feet and attempts a lariat at Kirk, but Kirk quickly ducks under it, seizing her arm and tossing her into the air for an Exploder Suplex, taking Holly down! DAMMIT!
Stew-O: While Gavin is dealing with his PTSD, it’s Kirk who is currently on a roll. Ryan comes back from the toss and quickly rolls back inside the ring, getting back on his feet. Kirk turns around and charges at Ryan, but Ryan grabs the ropes, causing Kirk to fall over the ropes and outside of the ring. Kirk quickly gets up, BUT IT’S TOO LATE! RYAN RUNS OFF AND IMMEDIATELY TAKES HIM DOWN WITH A SUICIDE DIVE ON THE OUTSIDE!
Gavin Kirkland: Kirk is no longer on fire as Ryan takes the fire that burned within him away from him to make it his own. Ryan rolls back into the ring, with a shield and quickly pops back to his feet, charging at Holly who is trying to recover. He attempts a running strike, but Holly goes behind him and EXECUTES A GERMAN SUPLEX, DROPPING RYAN TO THE GROUND!
Persephone: Mei sneaks back into the fray and immediately attacks Holly right after she takes down Ryan with a Jumping Knee Strike!… BUT HOLLY ISN’T DOWN! THE TWO WOMEN ARE LOCKED IN A FIERCE EXCHANGE, WITH HOLLY STEPPING IN AND CONNECTING WITH HER OWN RUNNING KNEE STRIKE, STAGGERING MEI! HOLLY THEN LOOKS FOR A RIPCORD VARIATION OF THE KNEE STRIKE, BUT MEI DUCKS AND GOES BEHIND, PUSHING HOLLY FORWARD AND BOUNCING OFF THE ROPES…
Gavin Kirkland: MEI WITH ANOTHER KNEE STRIKE AT HOLLY!
Stew-O: HOLLY CATCHES THE KNEE! WAIT, SHE CATCHES THE KNEE!… SEIZING HER AND BRAINBUSTER PLANTS MEI TO THE CANVAS!

HOLLY APPROACHES FROM BEHIND RYAN AND SWIFTLY PLANTS A GERMAN SUPLEX, DRIVING HIM DOWN TO THE MAT! GREAT COMBINATION BY POTARA!
Stew-O: Mei is now alone with both members of the POTARA. Harper turns around and charges at Mei, anticipating that she will be taken down as well. However, Mei quickly delivers a low kick to Harper’s leg, causing her to hop away on one leg. Meanwhile, Holly rushes in and tries to strike Mei with a Palm Strike! Mei catches Holly’s arm and sends it flying across Harper’s face, resulting in an unintended backhand slap from Holly to Harper! Mei now has both members of the team in position… JUMPING OVER AND TAKING THEM BOTH DOWN SIMULTANEOUSLY WITH A HURRICANRANA! A GREAT STRATEGY EXECUTED BY MEI, LEADING THE QUEEN BEES TO A BETTER CHANCE OF WINNING THE WHOLE CONTEST!
Gavin Kirkland: Mei shifts her focus primarily to the champion, Holly. She picks Holly up to her knees, takes a few steps back, and then delivers a running Dropkick, causing Holly to collapse to the ground! Mei rolls over to her corner where Sierra has just gotten back to her knees, waiting for Mei to make her next move!
( TAG! )

Harper quickly grabs and drags Holly down to her team’s corner, then goes behind the ropes as soon as possible to make a tag with Holly.
( TAG! )

Stew-O: Xander rises up, and he’s the one standing tall right now! The crowd absolutely hates seeing this match dominated by other people, but what can you say? Dominion has its name for a reaso-
Persephone: BEHIND YOU, XANDER! SOLOMON STANE! HE’S BACK!… NOW HE GRABS XANDER WITH A SURPRISE…. OVERHEAD BELLY TO BELLY SENDING XANDER LAUNCHING INTO THE CORNER!
Gavin Kirkland: Kirk is also up on his feet, running from the side of Solomon at Harper, jumping down, and hitting Harper hard with a running European Uppercut! Kirk then picks up Holly and tosses him at Solomon… SCOOP POWERSLAM BY SOLOMON!
Stew-O: Solomon goes through the ropes, down to the apron with a heaving sigh, reaching his hand out for Kirk as Kirk barely walks down to him, and makes a tag!
( TAG! )
Gavin Kirkland: Solomon surely backs into the game with this one, and it’s going to be a real rough ride for everybody going up against him! Sierra reaches both of her feet and charges at Solomon, but he catches her, sending her flying through the air….. SIT-OUT POWERBOMB BY SOLOMON!
Persephone: Xander is back, and we know that things are going to get exciting around here, that’s what we love about it! Xander is back, yay! And now he starts fighting with Solomon, who has been standing tall for a little while now! Yes, Xander, let’s go! Xander lands blow after blow after blow with Solomon, sending him flying down into the ropes. But Solomon comes back and swings Xander, launching him off the ropes with a huge Big Boot! Xander rebounds quickly, going for a shoot kick to Solomon’s jaw, but SOLOMON CATCHES HIM WITH A SPINNING BACK FIST!… THE SUPERKICK TO THE BACK OF XANDER’S CRANIUM IN COMBINATION!
Stew-O: Down goes Xander, and now Harper is the only one who is just getting back up to her feet, with Holly yelling at her, trying to get Harper close to her for a tag. But Solomon quickly rushes in and sends Holly flying off the apron with a Big Boot! Harper runs from behind and attempts to drop Solomon with a move, but Solomon lifts his right foot off the ground and delivers a stomp right to Harper’s face!
Gavin Kirkland: Harper rolls away and holds down her nose, as Solomon turns back around and looks to nail Harper with a big boot, but Harper sidesteps and almost hits his partner who is at the apron! Now Harper runs back and hits a bicycle kick right to the back of Solomon’s leg!
Stew-O: Harper steps back and goes for a Roundhouse kick to the back of his head this time! Solomon goes down to both knees and now Harper jumps over the ropes, delivering a Superkick to Kirk who is down there! Ryan rushes in from behind and grabs her, but Harper retaliates with A BACK ELBOW, sending Ryan back away from her!
Persephone: Solomon charges in and TACKLES Ryan off the apron! Harper seizes the opportunity and delivers a Step-Up Enzuigiri to Solomon on the apron! Solomon holds his head and falls back inside the ring! Harper grabs the rope… A SLINGSHOT SPEAR CONNECTS! IT SUCCESSFULLY CONNECTS! SHE TAKES DOWN SOLOMON AGAIN! WHY IS THIS BIT- I MEAN, THIS WOMAN SO STRONG!?!??!?!!?!?!?!?
Gavin Kirkland: Sierra quickly runs up from the front and immediately picks Harper up to her feet!… DOUBLE UNDERHOOK FACEBUSTER PLANTS! SIERRA ROLLS HARPER OVER AND GOES FOR A COVER!
ONEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!

(SIKES! MORE DOTS HAHA!)
(…………….)
(I don’t lie tho, I told you. Another dots here.)
(………………………………………..)
(……..)
Persephone: XANDER JUMPS DOWN TO BREAK UP A PIN! HE HAS MADE IT IN TIME!
Gavin Kirkland: That was quite a save by Xander, and he just saved the day for his team. But Sierra is clearly furious that Xander intervened, and she starts raining down stomp after stomp on him in frustration. Mei enters the ring now, joining in on the assault against Xander, beating the hell out of him! Queen Bee must really despise that man!
Stew-O: Ryan Joseph Wilson is back inside the ring and now grabs Mei, tossing her towards the side. Following it up immediately, he drives her into the ring post, her face crashing and her body flying around!
Gavin Kirkland: Back inside the ring now, Sierra picks up Xander and tosses him into the corner. Sierra follows up and looks for another Step-up Knee Strike, but Xander dodges, trapping her in the corner… and connects with a Superkick while she’s trapped on the second rope! Xander now hoists her up onto his shoulders! Oh my god, this could lead to something big!… YES, IT DOES! ‘INTO OBLIVION’ BURNING HAMMER-
Persephone: ‘RED SKULL’ HEATBUTT STUNS XANDER!….. ‘THE RUMBLING’ !!!!!!!!! A SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMB PLUCKS XANDER TO THE GROUND! IT SETS IN STONE AND HARPER CONTINUES HOOKING UP XANDER’S LEG TO RETAIN THE TITLE!
ONEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!

( Yeah I’m back and here are more dots!!!!!!! :mjlol2: :mjlol2: :mjlol2: :mjlol2: :mjlol2: :mjlol2: )
Gavin Kirkland: SOLOMON TACKLES HARPER AWAY AND THE COUNT OF THREE IS INCOMPLETE! WOW!
( In the ring, there are Xander Payne, Harper Lee, Solomon Stane, and Sierra Bradford. Everybody is clearly exhausted at this point, even if Sierra and Solomon are trying to come back a little. Holly tries to call Harper for a tag, while Ryan reaches the apron and waits for Xander to make a tag with her. Mei is also ready there, waiting for a tag with Sierra, but Sierra still couldn’t get up. )
Stew-O: This match has been something to behold, ladies and gentlemen, and I have to say that it’s getting harder to predict who could win this! Everybody has put their best effort in to secure the victory. Dominion, Queen Bee, Off Brand Amphetamines, and the champion, POTARA.
Gavin Kirkland: I will be POTARA. #TrustInGavin #Showdown #WeWrestle #Wrestling
Persephone: Nobody wins! Time-Limit Draw! But you know who wins? REX FOR BEING HOT 🥵🥵🫠🥵🫠🥶🥶🥱🥵🤤🥵🥱!… because Pain For Pride belongs to daddy rexy with a big fat co-
Stew-O: Stop.
Gavin Kirkland: Yeah guys come on, have some shame! It’s Pain for Pride, jeez!
Stew-O: You’re the worst.
Gavin Kirkland: :comeagain~2:
Stew-O: Sierra and Solomon are now going at each other! Sierra throws a right hand, and Solomon retaliates with a quick forearm! Both competitors go at each other with relentless intensity, and there’s no sign that these two are going to be stopped anytime soon! Sierra’s roundhouse kick stuns Solomon, and she follows up with a Bicycle Knee Strike aimed at him! Solomon catches the knee, pushing it away… BLASTS SIERRA’S EARDRUMS WITH A BELL CLAP! SOLOMON QUICKLY LIFTS HER UP AND IMMEDIATELY PLANTS SIERRA ONCE AGAIN WITH A SIT-OUT SPINEBUSTER!
Gavin Kirkland: Sierra delivers an elbow strike to the head of Solomon, forcing him to release his hold on her! Sierra stumbles back into her corner where Mei is already standing, ready and waiting….
( TAG! )
Stew-O: Mei immediately skips up to the corner, waiting for Solomon to turn back around. Solomon looks around for a moment, trying to locate Sierra, but then spots Mei perched on the top corner before ending up crashing down to the ground by Mei’s Diving Lariat!
Persephone: Xander is back in this match once again, picking up Mei right after she dropped Solomon with a Diving Lariat. He tries to go for the X-Plex, but Mei pulls a rabbit out of the hat by stomping on Xander’s foot and hooking his arm…. JUMPS OVER AND TRANSITIONS XANDER INTO A TRIANGLE CHOKE!
Gavin Kirkland: Harper Lee pulls Mei off Xander just before she could fully apply the move on the ground. Harper quickly gets back to her feet, tossing Mei into the corner and hitting Mei with a Step-Up Enzuigiri while she’s at the corner, and Holly makes a tag with Harper, as Harper keeps Mei on a hold!
( TAG! )
Gavin Kirkland: Mei is being dragged down by Harper to the middle of the ring, with Holly standing right behind Mei. Harper releases her hold and simultaneously strikes Mei, with Holly joining in at the same time! A DISCUS LARIAT BY HARPER WHILE HOLLY GOES FOR A LEG SWEEP, TAKING DOWN MEI WITH THEIR IMPRESSIVE TEAM EFFORT!
Stew-O: Mei is-
( TAG! )
Stew-O: What the- OH IT’S RYAN JOSEPH WILSON! RYAN FLIES OFF AND TAKES DOWN BOTH MEMBERS OF POTARA WITH A DIVING THRUST KICK! Ryan makes his return to this match as the legal man for his team, but Solomon attempts to halt his momentum by grabbing him and going for the ‘Triumph of Truth,’ a one-handed sit-out chokeslam!
Gavin Kirkland: Ryan counters with a back elbow to the side of Solomon’s head, stopping him in his tracks. Ryan quickly jumps off the ground and catches Solomon off guard, sending him crashing back to the canvas with a well-executed dropkick!
Stew-O: Ryan turns back around, facing Holly, who runs at him and drops Ryan onto his knee with a Roundhouse Kick! Holly steps back, preparing for a Basement Dropkick aimed at Ryan! Ryan quickly gets back to his feet, evading the attack! Holly lands on the ground… HE FLIPS HER OVER AND LOCKS IN A TIGHT STF SUBMISSION MANEUVER! STF LOCKS IN! HOLLY IS IN A BAD PREDICAMENT THERE!
Xander Payne: (Off-Mic) YEAH GET HIM, RYAN! MAKE THAT NERD TAP OUT!
Persephone: I don’t think she would.
Xander Payne: (Off-Mic) SHUT THE FUCK UP!
Persephone: Hey, what the-
Gavin Kirkland: HOLLY IS FIGHTING BACK! Holly realizes that she can’t afford to lose in this situation, and she knows she can’t tap out, especially to Ryan Joseph Wilson! She refuses to be beaten down by Ryan once again and desperately needs a chance to turn the tide and reclaim victory for her team! Holly heads to the top rope, shifting her position, and she unleashes everything she’s got to take Ryan by surprise and turn the tables on him!
Stew-O: Ryan is desperate to secure this win, knowing that he can’t afford to lose in this high-stakes match tonight! He wants the victory for Dominion, just like Xander, who wants to see Ryan shine for once! Ryan is determined to deliver a major blow to Holly and secure the win for his team!
Persephone: Holly keeps fighting back, inching closer to the ropes! But that won’t deter Ryan from having a chance at winning this match! Ryan won’t let go of Holly if it means causing significant damage to her!
Stew-O: Holly is just about to reach the bottom rope, but Ryan drags her away from the ropes and picks her up, seizing the opportunity! Ryan immediately sends her up into the air… ‘CHEMIN DE CROIX’ CRUCIFIX POWERBOMB! HOLLY CRASHES DOWN TO THE GROUND! RYAN HOOKS THE LEG FOR A COV-
Gavin Kirkland: MEI JUMPS OVER RYAN AND QUICKLY TRANSITIONS INTO A TRIANGLE CHOKE SUBMISSION HOLD! RYAN IS CAUGHT AND TRAPPED BY MEI’S SUBMISSION! MEI LOCKS RYAN UP TIGHT IN THE TRIANGLE CHOKE, PREVENTING HIM FROM GOING FOR A PINFALL ATTEMPT! RYAN IS IN SERIOUS TROUBLE AS MEI APPLIES THE FULL FORCE OF THE MOVE! IT’S LOOKING REALLY BAD FOR RYAN, BUT WE’LL HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE IF HE CAN FIND A WAY TO ESCAPE OR IF HE’LL ULTIMATELY LOSE!
Stew-O: Ryan is back in trouble again! Mei had a high chance to pick up a win for her team right there, but things are about to take a turn. Solomon Stane is back and immediately drops a stomping foot on Mei’s face, stopping her from applying the submission hold. Mei rolls away with Solomon pursuing her, quickly regaining control of the situation!…. ‘SANITY’S SAKE’ !!!!!!!!! SPINNING CANDIAN RACK FACEBUSTER BY SOLOMON STANE TAKING MEI OUT COMPLETELY!
Gavin Kirkland: SOLOMON IS DOWN, AND RYAN SEIZES THE OPPORTUNITY!… A MASSIVE HELLUVA KICK, KNOCKING SOLOMON OUT! Ryan quickly picks him up and sets him up for his final nail in the coffin!… ‘MIC DROP’ SMALL PACKAGE DRIVER! IT HITS PERFECTLY, AND SOLOMON IS COMPLETELY OUT OF THE PICTURE! RYAN DROPS INTO A COVER!
Persephone: SIERRA SEIZES RYAN FROM BEHIND UP ON HER SHOULDERS, AVOIDING HIM TO PIN SOLOMON STANE!…. ‘MESSAGES FROM THE STARS’ !!!!!!!! BACKBREAKER RACK INTO KNEE LIFT SHUTTING DOWN RYAN!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: Sierra rolls back to her feet and immediately focuses her attention on Holy, charging towards her! She aims to deliver ‘Electric Feel’ Rolling Koppu Kick! Holly reacts quickly and catches Sierra’s leg, spinning her around! Holly and Harper collaborate, with Harper preparing for a move while Sierra remains in a wheelbarrow position by Holly…
Gavin Kirkland: ‘WITCH HUNT’ !!!!!!!!! POTARA WITH WHEELBARROW SLINGSHOT CUTTER COMBO SEALING SIERRA’S FATE! WHAT A MOVE!!!!!!!
( Harper and Holy work together to push Sierra out of the ring, effectively removing her from the equation. They then turn their attention back to the ring, where Xander tags in Ryan, who is currently down in the corner after taking a big move from Sierra. Xander steps into the ring, mirroring Kirk, who also enters the ring with his partner down not too far away. Now, it’s a showdown between two members of POTARA, Xander Payne and Kirk Redwood, completing a full circle in this moment. )
Gavin Kirkland: It’s down to four! Xander Payne with DOMINION, Kirk Redwood with Off-Brand Amphetamines, and two members of POTARA will be joining each other in winning this contest!…
Stew-O: AND HERE WE GO!
Gavin Kirkland: Xander goes for Holly while Harper fights with Kirk. Redwood now, then! Harper then concedes to Kirk with a ‘Dragon Fist’ right hook, but Kirk ducks underneath and quickly stuns her with a European Uppercut! Xander fights with Holly, and she starts taking advantage, delivering a shoot kick and then rebounding off the ropes…. XANDER HOISTS HOLLY UP IN THE AIR, ATTEMPTING THE ‘LAST SEDATION’ POP-UP POWERBOMB INSTEAD!
Persephone: HOLLY JUMPS OVER AND LANDS BEHIND XANDER! HARPER STEPS UP TO THE MIDDLE ROPE… FLYING OFF AND DIVING FLATLINER PLANTING XANDER!….
Stew-O: HOLLY APPROACHES XANDER… HAVING XANDER IN THE RIGHT POSITION! SHE LIFTS XANDER!… ‘ROMANCE DAWN’ !!!!!!! TOMBSTONE PILEDRIVER DRIVES XANDER TO THE GROUND!
Gavin Kirkland: KIRK IS THE ONLY OPPONENT OF POTARA LEFT IN THE RING, AND NOW HE’S ATTACKING HARPER! HOLLY ATTEMPTS TO INTERVENE, BUT KIRK TURNS AROUND AND DELIVERS A CHOP TO HER CHEST! KIRK THROWS A HARD PUNCH ACROSS BOTH WOMEN AT ONCE! HE STUNS THEM! THIS MAY BE A CHANCE FOR OFF-BRAND AMPHETAMINES! KIRK COULD MAKE A HUGE MOMENT HERE!….
Stew-O: KIRK BOUNCES OFF THE MIDDLE ROPE FOR ‘.50 CAL’ SPRINGBOARD SUPERMAN PUNCH AT HOLLY!
Persephone: NO HE GETS CAUGHT!… ‘SKILL ISSUE’ !!!!!! BIG RIG!!!!!!! THE COMBINATION FLAPJACK AND DOUBLE KNEE FACEBREAKER COMBO DROPS KIRK DEAD! HOLLY DROPS INTO A COVER! POTARA IS ACTUALLY GOING TO SWEEP! NOBODY IS UP! THIS IS IT!
ONEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: WAIT WHAT??? THE REFEREE GETS DRAGGED OUT AND IT’S MEI! SHE TAKES OUT THE REFEREE AND NOW GETS INSIDE THE RING!
Stew-O: HARPER BACK TO HER- ‘DISINTEGRATION’ !!!! BLACK MASS KICK DROPS HARPER! MEI TAKES ONE DOWN AND NOW TURNS TO HOLLY!
Gavin Kirkland: ANOTHER ‘DISINTE- WAIT WAIT WAIT, HOLLY CATCHES THE LEG AND DROPS HER TO THE GROUND! HOLLY DROPS MEI!… ‘THOUSAND YEAR BLOOD WAR’ LOCKS IN! MEI IS IN TROUBLE! THE REFEREE ROLLS BACK INTO THE RING AND MEI IS BEING LOCKED UP BY HOLLY’S OMOPLATA CROSSFACE! MEI!….
Stew-O: MEI TAPS OUT! SHE TAPS OUT! POTARA RETAINS!
( DING DING DING! )
Gina Romano: HERE ARE YOUR WINNERS!… AND STILL!…. EAW UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS!…. POTARA!
Stew-O: POTARA DOES IT! IT’S TRUE! #POTARASWEEPS! FIRST TITLE DEFENSE IN SUCH A CRAZY TAG TEAM MATCH THAT WE ALL JUST WITNESSED!
Gavin Kirkland: https://media.tenor.com/suepjxXX53AAAAAC/pat-mcafee-funny.gif
Persephone: That was quite a wild ending we got there, and I actually think this is a really great match. The only bad thing about it is that I don’t get to see Big Rexy, Sexy Big Daddy Cool wrestling right now, so it’s alright, I guess.
Gavin Kirkland: https://media.tenor.com/3BV3GesMTj8AAAAC/pat-mcafee.gif
Stew-O: What a match that we have just been getting right, and a big round of applause for every team that is competing tonight for the title! And a huge congratulations to Potara, who were able to make their Pain for Pride moment here tonight at Geodis Park! What a moment!
Persephone: HEY STOP! I’M GOING TO CALL A COP IF YOU DON’T!
Gavin Kirkland: https://media.tenor.com/-uNdMwMPK8AAAAAC/pat-mcafee-wwe.gif
( ‘Tot Musica’ by Ado starts playing as Harper and Holly receive their Unified Tag Team titles from the referee. They both raise their hands high, grinning with pride, holding the title in one hand. The camera cuts to every team, starting with The Queen Bees. Both women look absolutely devastated, not moving at all, as if they are completely defeated. Cut to OBA, showing Solomon Stane sitting and looking pretty disappointed, with Kirk rolling down to the outside and tapping Stane on the shoulder, shaking his head. Solomon also shakes his head like Kirk. Now, let’s turn to DOMINION, with Ryan sitting in the ring, hugging his knees and looking incredibly sad that he failed to accomplish his mission. Suddenly, Xander comes down and puts his arm over Ryan’s neck, trying to convey through the action that he shouldn’t cry about it and should man up. Then, it cuts to POTARA, where Harper and Holly are smiling with absolute joy. The final shot displays both women raising their titles high in the air, celebrating their big win over three teams tonight as the scene fades into a quick commercial break. )
( A commercial break is shown for Burger King X Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse, featuring DOMINION sitting with Xander, ordering almost every single item on the menu. While Ryan tells him to calm down because he just lost his credit card today, Xander doesn’t care and suddenly jumps over the counter, shooting webs all of a sudden like spidey and beating up every single employee while stealing their food. Xander then bursts out of the fast-food restaurant with a few policemen chasing him out of the place while Ryan turns his back to the chaos upon his eyes to the camera and gives a thumbs up, telling everyone to go check it out! I think it tastes good too! )

(The camera returns to ringside, where Bella Braxton is seen with a microphone.)
Bella Braxton: The following contest is a Fatal 4 Way match!!! And it is scheduled for….
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!
Bella Braxton: ONE FALL!!!
(“Spaceship II” by Alex Wiley and Chance the Rapper blasts through the arena to a more mixed reaction from the crowd. Sierra doesn’t give a damn about the reaction however, and walks directly to the ring looking focused and ready to go here tonight at Pain for Pride. While she initially takes some time to take in the spotlight for her first ever Pain for Pride, it becomes clear just how focused she really is on this match, knowing everything that’s happened to her in the past few weeks.)
Bella Braxton: Introducing first from Charlotte, North Carolina… Weighing in at 132 pounds… She is “The Achilles Heel of Your Favorite Elitist” SIERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAA EVERRRRRRRRRRRETTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: Sierra Everett claims to be generational. She has talked the talk all week long but now we will find out if she can walk the walk!
James Peters: This match has been very personal since it came up. We see three best friends fighting against each other as well as the man who has tried to divide them here tonight in a very strange dynamic. It’s hard to tell if this is going to be a Handicap Match or something else.
Persephone: Well a Handicap Match would probably end faster. I don’t see Ronan lasting long if it is three on one.
Charlie Marr: Sounds good to me. This show is seriously three days long. Why did I sign up for this again?
( ‘Seek and Destroy’ by Metallica hits as the mixed reaction continued. While the #DisneyBesties haven’t been fan favorites, they’re certainly preferred over their opponent tonight. Halsey Neel could not care less about that reaction however, just ready for the upcoming match. She stares at her own friend Sierra Everett, walking down the ramp as she makes her way to the ring for a match that’s happening thanks to Eden Sinclair.)
Bella Braxton: From Birmingham, England… Weighing in at 149 pounds, she is “The Ripper” HALLLLLLLLLLSSSSSSEYYYYYYYY NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: Halsey Neel is probably the most dangerous and unpredictable competitor in this match and you have to wonder what tricks she has up her sleeve.
James Peters: Halsey Neel has stated on the record that she is not looking forward to this match. She doesn’t want to face off against her fellow #DisneyBesties but at the same time you have to imagine they all want a win at Pain for Pride. I doubt she’s forgotten about all of the miscommunications, either.
Charlie Marr: At the same time I think she knows what Ronan and Eden have been doing. Even she can’t be dumb enough to fall into their games. She is out for his blood more than anyone.
( ‘Rhapsody in Pink’ by Stela Cole (Clean Version) hits to another mixed reaction from the crowd, and much like her fellow #DisneyBesties members, it is more positive than it used to be thanks to recent events. Candice Blair walks out to the stage, and despite everything that’s happened she is able to have a smile on her face seeing her friends in the ring. Her fellow #DisneyBesties look on, clapping despite everything that has gone on between them.)
Bella Braxton: From Anaheim, California… Weighing in at 130 pounds, she is “The Main Character” CANDDDDDDDDDDDDDDICEEEEEEEEE BLAAAAAAAAIRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!
James Peters: Candice Blair this week talked about distancing herself from the Disney image that was created throughout this season, but one thing is for sure here. All three of these women are friends, and Eden and Ronan failed to change that.
Charlie Marr: The cringe is too much for me. Oh god I’m going to vomit. Where is the bucket? It’s probably not the last time I’m going to need that tonight.
Rich Russillo: As Candice Blair enters the ring it is clear the mood has changed. The others know they are here to fight her and not support her and that changes everything.
James Peters: This is exactly what Eden Sinclair wanted as she looks to turn the former Team Eden members against each other. They’ll have to fight even if they’re friends, and I’m sure it’ll be painful.
Charlie Marr: Or fun depending on your perspective. 🤷
(‘Mo Money’ by Ben McLusky hits, and the entire building erupts into boos.)
Bella Braxton: And their opponent, from Cape Town, South Africa… Weighing in at 270 pounds he is “The Million Dollar Megastar” ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNAN MALLLLLLLLOSIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!
(Ronan Malosi begins walking out to the stage while all three #DisneyBesties members turn and stare directly at him. Ronan doesn’t look too happy to see them as he begins walking down the ramp, knowing that he’s at a disadvantage with all three of them still being friends.)
Rich Russillo: Eden Sinclair added Ronan to this match as well, and that decision clearly shocked Ronan. Now if he wants these three torn apart, he’ll have to play just as big of a role as the #DisneyBesties themselves.
(Ronan Malosi makes it to ringside, and he is shown suddenly smiling as he enters the ring and puts his arms around his opponents.)
James Peters: Oh no what is he doing.
Ronan Malosi: (off-mic) Ladies ladies! It’s so good of you all to come out here to join me tonight! You know I have nothing but love for beautiful women like yourselves!!! <3 <3 <3
(However, the #DisneyBesties recoil in disgust, shoving Ronan Malosi who looks absolutely appalled that they would disrespect him in this way.)
Persephone: Ronan is the entire reason that this match is taking place in the first place. He caused all of the tensions between them. As the reason that this match is happening I can’t help but have a strong visceral hatred for this man.
Rich Russillo: Well despite their tensions it seems that Ronan Malosi’s actions have brought them together. All three #DisneyBesties are now standing together on one side of the ring with Ronan Malosi on the opposite side still trying to talk them down. But it is too late. The moment has come and the referee is calling for the bell.
(DING! DING! DING!)
Rich Russillo: We are underway as the #DisneyBesties are all shown standing on one side of the ring facing off against Ronan Malosi. It is clear that all three women are planning to work together against him, something that Ronan does not seem too happy about. Ronan appears to be trying to reason with them but it doesn’t look like it is going to work very well for him.
Ronan Malosi: (off-mic) Now now ladies… there is no need to do this. There is no need to get to fighting over little old me…
Rich Russillo: But the #DisneyBesties immediately charge in at Ronan Malosi and begin pounding away at him in the corner! Candice Blair grabs the head of Ronan and is bashing his brains into the turnbuckle pad until he falls off his feet! Now Halsey Neel is choking Ronan out using the bottom ring rope! Sierra Everett has an Ankle Lock applied on Ronan who is desperately trying to get away!
Persephone: RONAN MALOSI IS TAPPING OUT! THE MATCH IS ALREADY OVER!!!
Charlie Marr: He isn’t actually tapping at all. I think he would like to tap but Halsey Neel grabbed his hand to prevent him from tapping. The match is still going on!
James Peters: Sierra Everett releases the hold as Ronan Malosi uses the opportunity to slide underneath the bottom rope. But the #DisneyBesties are in pursuit! They wouldn’t let him tap to end this match and they aren’t going to let him escape either! Candice from behind with a Low Blow on Ronan as he keels over on top of the ramp.
Persephone: Every day I am out here with this bald bastard instead of Rex is a day I too feel like I have been low blowed.
Charlie Marr: I’m right here ya dumb cu-
Rich Russillo: Anyways! Ronan Malosi is really taking a beating! Halsey Neel just pulled a kendo stick out from underneath the ring and is assaulting him with it! Halsey really lighting up the back of Ronan as he is unable to pick himself up from the mat! Halsey hands the kendo stick to the other #DisneyBesties as they all take turns beating Ronan with the stick. Ronan is screaming in pain as he crawls up the ramp away from them but they won’t allow him to escape!
James Peters: Eventually they are getting too far away from the ring so the #DisneyBesties wrap the kendo stick around the throat of Ronan as they drag him back to the ring coughing and hacking as they are choking him out and making his bald head turn purple from blood loss. Ronan is dumped outside the ring before Sierra Everett slams him face first into the apron before shoving him back into the ring. The #DisneyBesties slide into the ring as Sierra takes a full blown swing at Ronan with the kendo stick causing it to shatter into a million pieces. Ronan has shards of wood spiking into his back as it begins to bleed out into the ring.
Persephone: Oh no blood! Deploy the black and white filter!
Charlie Marr: Or just call the match off. Either way works for me.
Persephone: I like the way you think! :drakelike:
Rich Russillo: The match is definitely not being called off for a little blood. Ronan Malosi now desperately fighting back as he claws the eyes of Candice Blair staggering her back! Ronan elbows hard into the guts of Sierra Everett. Ronan grabs shards of wood from the kendo stick and throws them into the eyes of Halsey Neel! But Sierra runs in shoving Ronan into the corner with a Running Forearm! But Ronan back out of the corner with a Running Spear tearing her in half! Ronan rolls out of the ring and he grabs a steel chair as he slides back into the ring! Ronan targeting his opponents now with a weapon just as they did to him! RONAN SWINGS FOR THE FENCES WITH THE STEEL CHAIR-
James Peters: But Halsey Neel ducks beneath it! Halsey with a Spinning Heel Kick sending the chair right back into the face of Ronan! Ronan goes flying backwards dropping the chair which tumbles to the outside. Ronan looks dazed from the impact of that steel on his forehead as his attempts at a comeback appear to have failed miserably. Candice now approaches Ronan, before leaping down on him and clawing at his eyes just like he did to her moments before! I am sure he is regretting those actions now.
Rich Russillo: Candice Blair has become feral as Halsey Neel is forced to pull her off and Sierra Everett is grabbing the chair from ringside. They are working together to dismantle Ronan as all three drive the chair together into the midsection of Ronan. They pick Ronan up and Sierra and Halsey together pull him in… DOUBLE TEAM DDT ONTO THE CHAIR!!! The #DisneyBesties are working as a well oiled machine here tonight and this crowd is loving every minute of seeing Ronan pay the price for all the things he has done!
James Peters: Ronan Malosi slowly back up as the #DisneyBesties are stalking him. They measure him in the corner and charge in but Ronan moves out of the way. Ronan staggers out of the way holding his gut in pain but he can’t move very fast. Only fast enough to escape his attackers who try to rush him in the opposite corner of the ring instead! But he moves yet again!
Persephone: If only I could run from this match! Or run into the arms of my beloved Rex!
Charlie Marr: If only you could run away so we don’t have to listen to you! That would be a good kind of run I think! Anyway it looks like all four competitors are back up as the #DisneyBesties are stalking Ronan once more.
Rich Russillo: The match continues, AND ALL THREE WOMEN TAKE RONAN OUT OF THE RING!
(The fans cheer, and with Ronan taken out, the three women all share a look at each other as they circle the ring, giving a similar nod in agreement as they seem to have decided something.)
Rich Russillo: AND THERE THEY GO!!! WITH RONAN OUT OF THE EQUATION IT LOOKS LIKE THE #DISNEYBESTIES ARE TREATING THIS AS A TRIPLE THREAT!!!! ALL THREE WOMEN BREAK OUT INTO A BRAWL, READY TO GET THEMSELVES A PAIN FOR PRIDE WIN!
James Peters: I guess it is every woman for herself! Candice Blair just kicked Halsey Neel hard in the face and Sierra Everett followed up with a Running Knee Strike to the face! Could Candice and Sierra be working together? No doesn’t look like it! Candice immediately turns on Sierra grabbing her from behind and throwing her into the turnbuckle post! Candice left standing tall!
Charlie Marr: Doesn’t seem to be much brains tho. Because here comes Ronan from behind with the Rollup!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: That would have been pretty embarrassing to lose to Ronan Malosi off a move like that at Pain for Pride. Luckily Candice was able to kick out! But suddenly everyone else rushes into the ring and the all out brawl has begun once more!!! Candice Blair takes a Big Boot to the face from Ronan and she drops down flat in the ring! Halsey Neel connects with a big right Haymaker to the face of Sierra Everett who collapses down in the ring. Ronan rolls out of the ring but Candice not letting his kick keep her down long as she follows to the outside and the two begin to trade punches all over all along the ringside area! Ronan slides back into the ring to escape but now Halsey and Candice are double teaming him in the ring and not in the way he would like!
James Peters: Hard clubbing shots being delivered to Ronan Malosi from all sides! Ronan is bent over from the assault as he collapses down to the mat. Halsey Neel connects with a Punt Kick to the head of Ronan knocking him unconscious! Now that Ronan has been dealt with the true battle between the other three can begin! Halsey turns on Sierra Everett who lifts her up onto her shoulders in a Fireman’s Carry position! But Candice kicks her knocking both of them over collapsing on each other in the ring!
Charlie Marr: What a dumbass. Imagine going for a move that requires that much setup when you have an opponent right in front of you. I’d do the whole dramatic “what could they be planning!!!” bullshit but we all know these dumb cunts have no brains to plan anything with.
Persephone: I would agree if Raven was in this match.
Rich Russillo: Ronan Malosi charges in but Candice Blair sidesteps him and sends him flying over the top rope! Ronan crashes down hard hitting his head on the apron and then bouncing off the apron and hitting the other side of his head on the ringside barrier. Ronan is completely dead and motionless on the outside of the ring. But wait! Inside the ring! Halsey Neel with a rollup surprise from behind on Candice!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
James Peters: But Sierra Everett lunges into the fray to break things up and prevents Halsey Neel from stealing one! Sierra and Halsey are now fighting it out as they exchange hands in the middle of the ring. But Candice is now back up and she charges into the fray! But Sierra moves out of the way and Candice punches the face of Halsey! Sierra then shoves Candice right into Halsey sending both of them into the corner. Sierra charges in with a Running Double Knee Strike to the corner just smashing the two of them together!
Rich Russillo: Both Halsey and Candice collapse in the ring as Sierra looks to pull Halsey up- BUT HALSEY COUNTERS!!! Halsey pulls Sierra down and locks her into a Cross armbreaker! Halsey is going to rip the arm of Sierra right on off!
Persephone: SHE TAPS IMMEDIATELY! THE MATCH IS OVER!
Charlie Marr: Are you blind? What the hell is wrong with you? Whatever this is a dangerous submission and Sierra is in a lot of pain at the hands of Halsey. It’s great to see some of these dumb hos getting tortured in the ring tonight. I mean I hope they all just beat the shit out of each other and break some tendons in her arm or something. I really don’t care and at least the referee can’t disqualify them but they need to do a better job of hurting each other.
Rich Russillo: Sierra Everett refuses to tap out as Candice Blair appears out of nowhere to drop an elbow onto the back of Halsey Neel! The submission is broken up! All three women back up now, and they’re definitely feeling that competitive spirit as they begin throwing shots at each other once more! Candice ducks and Halsey punches out Sierra! Candice grabs Halsey from behind and tosses her back with a German Suplex! Candice then catches Sierra with a Spinning Heel Kick dropping her down to the mat with a thud. Candice taking in the moment- BUT IT DOESN’T LAST LONG!!! Halsey back up and she charges in from behind with a Running Pump Kick!
James Peters: No! Candice Blair moves out of the way! Candice grabs Halsey Neel and lifts her up into a Package Piledriver! Candice into the cover!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-
Persephone: No! She kicked out! Why?
Charlie Marr: That’s how wrestling works sweetie. Just like in all of my matches. I kicked out every time. Not that anyone ever pinned me much. Usually it was me doing the pinning you know? Anyway it’s probably stupid for Halsey Neel to kick out like that as Candice Blair is just climbing on top of her and delivering hard forearms to the face. She’s not even fighting back which is pretty pathetic to be honest. I mean imagine being as defenseless as Halsey is right now. Candice is just having her way with her and bashing her brains in up in here absolutely savagely and Halsey is too weak to stop her.
Rich Russillo: Well that was clearly an exaggeration, as Halsey shoves Candice Blair off her and they roll up to their feet! Halsey lunges onto Candice with a Thesz Press and begins to slam Candice with hard forearms of her own! These women may be friends, but they also know how tough they are as Halsey is throwing everything she has at Candice!! Here comes Sierra Everett but Halsey grabs her and tosses her back with a Belly to Belly Suplex! Halsey is rolling! HERE COMES RONAN MALOSI!!!
Rich Russillo: RONAN WITH A BIG BOOT TO HALSEY NEEL, AND I THINK RONAN IS PLANNING TO CAPITALIZE OFF OF THE SITUATION AS HE THROWS HALSEY OUT OF THE RING BEFORE SCOOPING CANDICE BLAIR UP AND DROPPING HER WITH VERTIGO!!!!! RONAN MALOSI HOOKS THE LEGS TO PICK UP THE WIN AT PAIN FOR PRIDE!!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Referee: TTTTHHHHRRRRREE-
James Peters: SIERRA MANAGES TO DIVE AND BREAK UP THE PIN, AND NOW SHE STARTS PUNCHING AWAY AT RONAN, LOOKING TO STOP HIM FROM STEALING THIS ONE!!!
Rich Russillo: Ronan pushes Sierra away, AND NOW HE DROPS HER WITH A LARIAT!!!! Ronan drags Sierra back up to her feet, AND SIERRA STARTS PUNCHING HIM IN THE SIDE, FORCING RONAN TO LET GO OF HER!
Persephone: Well there was no point in that, because Ronan just hit Sierra with an elbow that nearly dropped her completely!
James Peters: Sierra stumbles into the ropes as Ronan runs in, BUT SIERRA DUCKS DOWN AS RONAN FALLS OVER THE TOP ROPE!!!! SIERRA NOW RUNNING THE ROPES AS RONAN LANDS AT RINGSIDE, AND SIERRA TAKES HIM OUT WITH A SUICIDE DIVE BEFORE SLIDING BACK INTO THE RING, WHERE CANDICE BLAIR HAS MADE IT BACK TO HER FEET!!!
Rich Rusdillo: Sierra and Candice lock up in the ring with Candice dragging Sierra down into an Armbar position on the ground. But Sierra rolls through it back up to her feet and kicks behind the knee of Candice. Candice’s knee bends sending her down to the mat as Sierra leverages around behind Candice with her arm before using the momentum to flip Candice over onto her back.
James Peters: Sierra then twists herself around the arm of Candice and drops a leg across her twisted body while releasing the hold for extra damage to the extremities of Candice! Sierra now stalking Candice as she goes up to the top rope waiting for her to get back up… but Halsey is back up first! Halsey charges the turnbuckle at full speed knocking Sierra off as she goes flying to the outside crashing and burning on top of the steel steps and then falling motionless on the ground! Looks like we are down to two as the other opponents have been completely eliminated from this match it seems!
Charlie Marr: I honestly don’t think Ronan Malosi is even unconscious. I think that lazy fuck just doesn’t want to wrestle. I should go splash water on him or something. Do your job baldy!
Persephone: Now I just know you aren’t calling someone baldy.
Charlie Marr: :whoa: !
Rich Russillo: Halsey Neel and Candice Blair are the only ones left standing in the ring now as they lock up with Candice eventually tossing Halsey into the corner. Candice bashing into the gut of Halsey with repeated kicks knocking her down and them stomping a mudhole into her. Halsey is unable to defend herself as Candice drags her out of the corner and applies a Sleeper Hold. Candice going to slowly and methodically put Halsey to sleep and end this match right here and now! Halsey is fading! Candice may have her here! Halsey falls down to her knees in the ring and she is out! The referee checking her and raising up the arm…
Persephone: The arm fell! Ring the bell!
James Peters: It has to fall more times than that… and it looks like Halsey Neel is keeping the arm up this time! Halsey is fighting back against Candice Blair and elbows her repeatedly until she is able to get out of the Sleeper Hold! Halsey fights back against Candice shoving her up against the ropes…
Charlie Marr: Halsey Neel kicks Candice Blair against the ropes but Candice comes flying back with a Running Axe Handle! Candice drops Halsey and she is picking her up and looks to be getting ready to finish things off right here and now! CANDICE GOING FOR IT!!!
Rich Russillo: THE DISNEYLAND DESTROYER!!! CANDICE BLAIR GETS ALL OF IT AND SHE IS GOING FOR THE COVER!!! FOR THE WIN!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
James Peters: Sierra Everett comes flying off the top rope with a Moonsault taking out both opponents!!! Sierra kicks Candice Blair away from Sierra Everett and then goes for the cover!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Rich Russillo: Kickout by Candice Blair! Sierra Everett can’t believe it as she shoves Candice aside and goes for the cover on Halsey Neel instead!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
James Peters: But Halsey Neel kicks out as well!!!
Rich Russillo: Sierra Everett is not pleased as she pulls up Halsey Neel and begins delivering hard shots to the gut. Sierra tosses Halsey up and over the top rope to the outside! Then she sends Candice Blair over as well. Sierra Everett now the last one standing as she takes a quick breather while remaining in control of the match!-
James Peters: LOOK OUT FROM BEHIND! RONAN MALOSI JUST CHARGED IN WITH A RUNNING SPEAR ON SIERRA EVERETT!!!!
Rich Russillo: Ronan Malosi emerging back into this match out of nowhere as he tears open Sierra Everett! Ronan tosses Sierra into the corner and begins driving his shoulder into her midsection repeatedly! I have no idea where Ronan even came from. I honestly forgot he was still in this match entirely.
James Peters: Well he is and he’s not only in it but he’s dominating now! Halsey Neel climbs back up into the ring as Ronan throws Sierra towards her! Halsey takes the bait and connects with a leaping running punch right to the face of Sierra! This is every Elitist for themselves at this point and Halsey seems to have accepted that… But Ronan seems to be telling Halsey to keep beating up Sierra! He’s trying to convince her to help him, and Halsey’s just looking at him like he’s stupid!
Charlie Marr: This match is every man for himself dummy. If you have a problem with what she’s doing… just fight her too. It’s not that hard Ronan. Just beat everyone up. You’re a big guy you can handle these three tiny chicks.
Rich Russillo: But Candice Blair from outside the ring grabs the leg of Ronan Malosi and drags him under the bottom rope! Candice catches Ronan by surprise and yanks him to the outside! Candice grabs Ronan by the back of the skull and throws him back first into the LED barricade here at ringside! Candice now with repeated knee strikes to the head of Ronan as she looks to keep him down for the count for good this time! Meanwhile Halsey and Sierra are still going at it back in the ring! Halsey picks up Sierra… but Sierra with a forearm to the jaw of Halsey staggering her backwards! Sierra picks up Halsey and drops her across her knee with a Backbreaker! Halsey broken in half as Sierra moves herself up to the top rope! Sierra looking to end things here tonight!
James Peters: SIERRA EVERETT OFF THE TOP ROPE WITH A PERFECT FORM FLYING ELBOW DROP!!! SHE GETS ALL OF IT! THE COVER!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!-
Rich Russillo: Somehow Halsey Neel manages to still kick out! Sierra is not pleased as she picks up Halsey Neel… She sets her up… MOUNT EVERETT!!!! THE ONE-HANDED ELECTRIC CHAIR DRIVER INCOMING!!!
Persephone: No! The move that could have ended the match was countered! No! No! No!
James Peters: But Halsey now going for The Destruction of Everything! But Sierra moves out of the way! Sierra kicks the leg of Halsey down from behind and then charges in taking her head off with a Running Knee to the skull! That might not have a fancy name but it is just as effective! Sierra with the cover!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!-
Rich Russillo: Another kickout from Halsey Neel. Halsey has probably taken the most damage out of anyone in this match but she is still managing to hang in there and you have to respect that!
Charlie Marr: I don’t have to respect anything or anyone. I’ll respect the winner. That’s the only thing that matters. You think we give out consolation prizes here in EAW? FOH.
James Peters: Candice Blair now returning to the ring! But Ronan Malosi grabs her leg preventing her from getting back into the ring! Ronan drags Candice back out to the outside of the ring! Ronan grabs her by the hair kicking and screaming over by our commentary table! He grabs something and bashes it into the head of Candice!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Persephone: JPAJFOPSJAFPOASJFOPSAJFOPSAJ THE MATCH IS OVER PASJFOPASJFPOAS
Charlie Marr: No you dumb bih. Ronan is just assaulting Candice with the ring bell. They are right in front of us, please focus.
Rich Russillo: Ronan Malosi now slides back into the ring holding the ring bell! He is swinging it wildly running towards Sierra Everett! He hits Sierra with the ring bell from behind on the back of the neck!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Persephone: PAOJFOPAJFOPAJSFPOJASFPOSAJFPOASFJSA
Charlie Marr: What did I just tell you? Don’t tell me you forgot already… :wtf:
Rich Russillo: Wait from behind! Halsey Neel connects with a Low Blow on Ronan Malosi! Ronan collapses in the ring as Halsey grabs him and lifts him up into Piledriver position! Ronan is helpless!
James Peters: Ronan Malosi is trying to struggle out of it but Halsey Neel is somehow managing to keep the big man in position! She has him upside down and she is going for it looking to end this match once and for all!
Charlie Marr: HALSEY NEEL CONNECTS WITH THE FALL ON RONAN MALOSI! SHE JUST SNAPPED HIS NECK IN HALF PILE DRIVING HIM ON HIS BEAUTIFUL SHINY BALD DOME!!! HALSEY INTO THE COVER!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Rich Russillo: Sierra Everett lunges in to break it up! Sierra didn’t just save Ronan, she saved the match from ending! There is no way in hell Ronan would have been kicked out of that! Candice Blair now entering the ring as well as she leaps onto Sierra and begins attacking her! Halsey and Ronan join the fray as well as they begin to brawl. Ronan ducks a Clothesline from Halsey and rolls her up from behind with a Backslide Pin!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Rich Russillo: But Ronan forgot that all four competitors are in the ring and the others immediately break it up! All four up on their feet and begin to trade punches back and forth. Halsey grabs Candice from behind but Candice elbows her way out of it. Sierra takes Ronan down to his knees with a punch to the face. Sierra punches Ronan back up against the ropes as Candice and Halsey are brawling in the corner. But Ronan off the ropes retaliates with a Big Boot to the face of Sierra as she staggers back. Ronan then targets Candice but she immediately grabs his legs and flips him over onto his back into a pinning combination! But Halsey immediately breaks it up! Halsey aggressively breaking it up as she sends Candice rolling to the outside of the ring. Halsey follows out in pursuit as back in the ring Ronan is taking Sierra down with a Running Facebuster. So much action is going on I am getting lost trying to even follow this at this point!
James Peters: Suddenly a barrage of weapons begins to rain down in the ring landing on top of both Ronan Malosi and Sierra Everett. Ronan screams and covers his neck as he gets down to avoid damage from the incoming weapons. Candice Blair and Halsey Neel are throwing everything they can get their hands on into the ring! Kendo sticks are flying into the ring! Trash cans are flying into the ring! Street signs are flying into the ring! Steel chairs are flying into the ring! Even a table is being slid into the ring! Candice grabs a chair as she slides into the ring and levels Ronan with it and he can’t protect himself from a shot like that!
Charlie Marr: Looks like this match is taking a turn towards the hardcore. No disqualifications after all.
Persephone: Maybe they will finally do something entertaining for once in this match.
Rich Russillo: Halsey Neel likes what she sees as Ronan is being taken out, but now she regains her focus before turning to one of her besties! She just smashed a trash can lid over the face of Sierra Everett! Ronan is being beaten down by Candice Blair with a chair in the ring! Now Candice and Halsey turn on each other! Halsey deflects the steel chair using the trash can lid like a sword. Halsey then grabs the trash can lid and hurls it as hard as she can across the ring like a boomerang bashing Candice in the face with it as the trash can falls to the mat with a clang.
James Peters: Halsey Neel places the steel chair down on top of the chest of Ronan Malosi before Sierra Everett appears and hits a Superkick on her! Sierra then leaps up onto the middle rope and flips off with a Moonsault back into the ring crushing Ronan with the chair on his chest! Sierra might have done as much damage to herself there with that one! Candice back up and meets Halsey Neel in the ring and they both have kendo sticks! They are both trading shots with the kendo sticks, and it looks like Candice is getting the better of her opponent! Candice swinging the stick and eventually wearing out Halsey and dropping her down to her knees! Big swing with the stick breaking it in half over the head of Halsey who collapses to the mat with a thud! Candice now the one standing tall here ton-
Persephone: Oh no she should have watched out behind her! There’s always someone behind you it seems.
Charlie Marr: Yes. This is a Fatal 4 Way match after all. There is probably someone behind you unless you see three people in front of you. It’s just basic math.
Rich Russillo: Ronan Malosi sneaks up behind on Candice Blair and slips a trash can over her head! Candice spins around in confusion, AND RONAN USES THE OPPORTUNITY TO DROP HER WITH A CLOTHESLINE!!! Ronan drags her out of the trash can and uses the moment of confusion to drop her! RONAN HITS THE DEATH-RO ON CANDICE THROUGH THE TRASH CAN!!! RONAN TO THE COVER!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
James Peters: But Sierra Everett leaps in with a stop sign to smash over the head of Ronan Malosi and break things up! Sierra smashing that stop sign over Ronan’s head repeatedly eventually denting and bending the sign as it continues to collide with Ronan! And it looks like Ronan has finally taken so many shots to the head he is completely busted open as streams of blood begin to flow down his forehead and into his eyes. Ronan seeing red now as he collapses face first in the ring. Sierra pulls Ronan back up and she has something in mind here!
Persephone: SIERRA HITS MOUNT EVERETT ON RONAN MALOSI!!! SIERRA WITH THE COVER!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: But Candice Blair slides in to break things up! Candice with a Curb Stomp to the back of the head of Sierra Everett! Candice grabs the table and begins to set it up in the middle of the ring. But just as soon as she has the table set up Halsey Neel grabs her as she turns around! HALSEY WITH THE DECONSTRUCTION OF EVERYTHING!!!!-
James Peters: No! CANDICE BLAIR COUNTERS IT AND KICKS HALSEY IN THE GUT… CANDICE CONNECTS WITH THE DISNEYLAND DESTROYER!!! NOW CANDICE INTO THE COVER AND THIS COULD BE IT!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: Nobody breaks it up!
Persephone: :lupe: !
James Peters: But nobody needed to! Because Halsey Neel kicked out! Candice can’t believe it-
Rich Russillo: Wait look out!
Persephone: What the… what is Ronan doing here?
Charlie Marr: :lupe:
Ronan Malosi: https://files.catbox.moe/w3chzz.gif
(SMASH!)
Rich Russillo: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
James Peters: I can’t watch this…
Charlie Marr: Oh my god yes! This is great! Ronan Malosi just brought that sledgehammer down at full swing into the head of Candice Blair! She is out cold! She probably suffered permanent brain damage from that! Look at this sick fuck Ronan he’s laughing as Candice is lying on the ground bleeding out of her skull like a crushed watermelon.
James Peters: And Ronan Malosi isn’t done yet either!
Ronan Malosi: https://files.catbox.moe/5l9cj4.gif
Rich Russillo: Ronan Malosi just laid out Halsey Neel with the sledgehammer as well! Both Candice and Halsey are left bloody messes in the middle of the ring! Ronan is taking out the #DisneyBesties one by one in the most horrific manner possible.
Ronan Malosi: (off-mic) :mjlol2:
Persephone: It’s so beautiful… :mjcry: !!!!
Ronan Malosi: (off-mic) This is what you get for messing with me! I’m a dangerous man y’all! :blessed:
James Peters: Ronan Malosi has gone too far here tonight. We’d be very lucky if he hasn’t just seriously injured these women here tonight! No matter the case, Halsey and Candice might just be out for the night! Even if it is someone like Ronan, sledgehammer shots like that are no joke!
Rich Russillo: Ronan Malosi laughs as he sets down the sledgehammer. He nonchalantly lies down on his side posing as he lays across both Candice and Halsey in the ring. Ronan smiles as the referee begins the final count.
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Crowd: :lupe: !!!!
Rich Russillo: What the hell????
Sierra Everett: https://files.catbox.moe/n1umtu.gif
James Peters: Sierra is back up and she just bashed Ronan Malosi in the skull with the sledgehammer! It seems that Ronan forgot one!
Rich Russillo: He forgot about the wrong one too because now Sierra pulling a bloody Ronan up…
James Peters: KISS OF DEATH!!! SIERRA KICKS RONAN IN THE SKULL WITH HER BOOT COVERED IN TACKS!!! WHERE DID THOSE COME FROM??? BEFORE RONAN CAN EVEN HIT THE GROUND SHE FOLLOWS UP WITH A BIG KNEE STRIKE TO THE HEAD! AS HER KNEE COLLIDES RONAN’S BLOOD LITERALLY SPLASHES OFF HIS SKULL AND LEAVES A DISGUSTING SPLATTER INCHES ACROSS THE RING!!!
Rich Russillo: Sierra Everett looks on and sees her fallen #DisneyBesties members looking horrified at what has happened before going to the cover on Ronan Malosi.
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bella Braxton: Here is your winner… SIERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRA EVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRETTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!
(“Spaceship II” by Alex Wiley and Chance the Rapper blasts through the arena as Sierra Everett has her arm raised by the referee in victory. Sierra begins to celebrate her win as she is the only person even capable of standing after that match.)
Rich Russillo: What a war here tonight between these four! Enemies and partners alike went through hell, and honestly I’m surprised that Candice and Halsey are actually capable of moving right now!
James Peters: Me too! Granted, they’re still far too hurt at the moment to even get back to their feet on their own, but given what Ronan did… It’s far better than what the alternative could’ve been.
(Sierra Everett looks somewhat sad at her fallen friends covered in blood on the ground as she goes up to the turnbuckle to celebrate and fireworks blast off around the arena to celebrate her victory.)
James Peters: I know one thing is for sure. Eden Sinclair is probably going to be annoyed about what happened tonight. Sierra just put Ronan right out of commission!
Persephone: As someone who has recently lost their boyfriend I can relate to what she is going through. Personally I hope that she gets as much revenge as she needs to get past the trauma.
Rich Russillo: :francis:
James Peters: Aside from that, congratulations to Sierra Everett for the big Pain for Pride victory! She did it and she has cemented her name in history here tonight at Pain for Pride picking up a big win! And who knows with the draft coming up if Sierra will even be around Eden to face her wrath or not! We will find out soon!
(Sierra Everett is shown helping the #DisneyBesties, who are stirring after those sledgehammer shots. Medical officials are shown coming out to the ring, where they tend to Sierra, Candice and Halsey following the match they just went through. Ronan on the other hand is seen in the middle of the ring, still laid out following that match.)
(The camera cuts to a commercial featuring Ronan Malosi performing tricks.)
(The crowd fades back into the Geodis Park as we wait in anticipation for the next match.)

Bella Braxton: THE FOLLOWING MATCH IS THE 24/7 BATTLE ROYAL!!!!!!
Crowd: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
(We see all of the participants in the 24/7 Battle Royal. Elitists from Dynasty, Showdown and Voltage already inside the ring, ready for this match to get underway.)
Bella Braxton: THE RULES OF THE MATCH ARE THROW YOUR OPPONENT OVER THE TOP ROPE! THE LAST ELITIST STANDING WILL BE DECLARED THE WINNER AND RECEIVE A CONTRACT TO CASH IN AT ANY CHAMPIONSHIP OF THEIR CHOOSING AT ANY TIME, ANY PLACE, ANYWHERE UP TO ONE YEAR!

Gavin Kirkland: We see Valerie Hellstorm going after Mercer McKay. We see Ayu Megumi going after Drake Armstrong. We see Komatsu Ogawa and Lucas Johnson going at it. Those two were a part of a group earlier this season. It almost feels like twenty years ago. Sigh. I’m trying to pinpoint where to start inside the ring! The action is too much to take in with these types of matches!
Persephone: How about we don’t pay attention? That would be easy. None of these Elitists are interesting like Rex McAllister. I mean, what’s the point in paying attention to this? What does this do for me?
Stew-O: MITSUBACHI has Bea Valentine at the corner and it seems like he’s already attempting to throw her over the top rope! He grabs her by the leg and tries to lift her over the top rope! We see that Major Michael Scott Connor and Axel Graves are throwing punches at one another! The Major manages to catch Axel with an uppercut as Axel staggers, but Scott follows that up with a clothesline as that sends Axel down! We see Harley Lewis, who turns his attention to Rain Kasey! Harley picks up Rain and connects with a snap dragon suplex as that sends Rain over his head!
Gavin Kirkland: Now, we see that Delilah Rose and Kasai are trading punches with one another! We see Kasai stop Delilah in her tracks with a knee to the gut! Kasai runs the ropes, rebounding off of them and connecting with a spinning neckbreaker as that causes Delilah to go down! Kasai picks up before getting a good grasp of her hand and whipping her to the ropes! Delilah rebounds off the ropes as Kasai stops her in her tracks by connecting with a hiptoss! BUT DELILAH MANAGES TO CATCH HERSELF ON HER FEET AS SHE CONNECTS WITH AN ELBOW TO KASAI! SHE RUNS OFF THE ROPES, SPRINGBOARDING OFF OF THEM AND CONNECTING WITH A CROSSBODY AS THAT TAKES DOWN KASAI!
Persephone: But that weird clown manages to roll herself through and has Delilah Rose in a horizontal position before picking her up and connecting with a backbreaker to Kasai’s knee! Now, we look at Michael Machina, who manages to take down Rory Slate with a big boot! Michael manages to get Rory up to her feet and it seems like he’s going for a spine buster, BUT RORY MANAGES TO JUMP OUT OF POSITION! SHE DELIVERS A KICK TO THE GUT OF MICHAEL, BUT MICHAEL MANAGES TO PICK HER BY THE LEG! WE SEE RORY MIGHT BE REGRETTING THAT AS MICHAEL PICKS HER UP AND THROWS HER OVER HIS HEAD! RORY LANDS ON HER SPINE AND I CAN’T IMAGINE HOW THAT MUST FEEL!
Stew-O: NOVA and Korey Gaines are throwing punches at one another! Korey finds himself backed against the corner as NOVA goes right after him, but Korey manages to get a leg up, causing NOVA to go back! KOREY JUMPS UP ON THE TOP ROPE BEFORE JUMPING OFF AND CONNECTING WITH A GIANT DRAGONRANA ON NOVA AS HE LANDS ON THE TOP OF HIS HEAD! NOW, KOREY FINDS HIMSELF BACK TO HIS FEET AS HE GOES RIGHT AFTER DANNY CAGE AND CONNECTS WITH A DENOTATION KICK AS THAT TAKES THE NEWCOMER BACK! WE SEE KOREY GOING TO KEOGA LEOSO AND CONNECTING WITH A SUPERKICK AS THAT SENDS HIM BACK! WE SEE HIM TURNING AROUND AND FACING VALERIE HELLSTORM!
Gavin Kirkland: Come on, Korey. Show everyone that rizz of yours.
Persephone: THIS GUY IS AS SMOOTH AS SITTING ON A BED OF NEEDLES. KOREY GAINES WITH A HUGE SMIRK ON HIS FACE — KOREY WITH A SUPERKICK TO VALERIE HELLSTORM! NO BITCHES IS GOING TO TAKE HIM DOWN! We go back to Michael Machina who has Danny Cage where he wants him! He goes to lift him up for a spine buster, BUT DANNY GETS HIMSELF OUT OF THE WAY! DANNY CONNECTS WITH AN UPPERCUT AS THAT TAKES HIM BACK! NO! MICHAEL IS STANDING PERFECTLY STILL! DANNY TRIES TO GO FOR ANOTHER UPPERCUT, BUT MICHAEL SHOVES DANNY AWAY FROM HIM, CREATING SOME SPACE BEFORE TAKING DANNY DOWN WITH A ‘BULLET FROM HELL’ — HIS VARIATION OF THE SPEAR AS DANNY DROPS DOWN! MICHAEL GETS DANNY AND THROWS HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE! DANNY IS OUT!
Bella Braxton: DANNY CAGE HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!!!!!!!
Stew-O: Michael Machina with the very first elimination of the match! Now, we see Roberto De La Rosa and Major Michael Scott Connor throwing punches with each other! The Major manages to take Roberto back with an uppercut! Roberto manages to keep his composure before running forward and looking to take Scotty down with a clothesline, BUT SCOTTY DUCKS THE CLOTHESLINE! ROBERTO RUNS PAST, BUT MAJOR MANAGES TO CATCH ROBERTO IN THE ‘DD214’ — THE DRAGON SLEEPERHOLD! I THINK THAT WE MIGHT SEE A FAVORITE IN THIS 24/7 BATTLE ROYAL GO OUT!
Gavin Kirkland: Diego De La Rosa slides into the ring as that causes Major Michael Scott Connor to release the dragon sleeperhold on Roberto De La Rosa! MAJOR GOES CHARGING TOWARDS DIEGO AS JAVIER DE LA ROSA, FROM BEHIND, CONNECTS WITH A CHOP BLOCK TO THE BACK OF THE MAJOR’S KNEE! JAVIER SLIDES OUT OF THE RING AS FAST AS HE POSSIBLY CAN AS ROBERTO LOOKS ON WITH A SMILE ON HIS FACE! THESE ARE JUST SOME OF THE SNEAKY GAMES THAT WE SHOULD BE EXPECTING FROM LA FAMILA!
Persephone: As long as it results in eliminations, I don’t give a flying hoot about what happens in this match! I just want to get on with this show! Now, we see Ayu Megumi of The Ice Aces, connecting with a sharp kick to the abdomen of Tanner Black, who we have not seen much of going into this match! I mean, it must be for a reason, bUT AYU CONNECTS WITH A ‘RYO NO IKARI’ — HER VARIATION OF THE SUPERKICK, BUT TANNER BACKS AWAY, AVOIDING THE SUPERKICK AS HE GRABS AYU BY THE ARM AND LOOKS TO CONNECT WITH A RIPCORD LARIAT THAT HE LIKES TO CALL ‘LIGHTSPEED LARIAT!’ BUT, AYU DUCKS THE CLOTHESLINE AS SHE RUNS THE ROPES IN FRONT OF HER AND REBOUNDS OFF OF THEM AS SHE CONNECTS WITH A ‘FATALITY’ — THE RUNNING BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE AS THAT TAKES TANNER DOWN FOR THE TIME BEING!
Stew-O: We turn our attention to Harley Lewis and Lucas Johnson trading punches with each other! Lucas takes Harley back with an uppercut! Lucas connects with another uppercut as that sends Harley back into the ropes! Lucas goes for a clothesline, hoping that throws Harley over the top rope! Harley is holding onto the ropes, preventing himself from moving! He manages to throw a punch towards Lucas, causing the former New Breed Champion to go back! Lucas goes right after him with a knee to the gut! Lucas pulls Harley closer to him before grabbing him by the waist and connecting with a German suplex! Harley manages to land on his feet as Lucas turns himself around! HARLEY GRABS LUCAS INTO A FULL NELSON BEFORE FOLLOWING THAT UP WITH A TIGER SUPLEX! HARLEY GESTURES FOR LUCAS TO RISE BACK TO HIS FEET AND CONNECTS WITH ‘THE QUEEN’S BLESSING’ — THE RIPCORD KNEE TO LUCAS!
Gavin Kirkland: We go back to Roberto De La Rosa who has Major Michael Scott Connor hanging over on the top rope as the Major is holding on for dear life! Hang on there, Major! I think that we might say Roberto get another elimination in this match up! But, from behind! Rain Kasey delivers a club to the back of Roberto’s head and I think that might be a mistake on her part! Roberto turns around to look at her like she just made the biggest mistake of her entire life! Major Michael Scott Connor, you angel! He turns Roberto De La Rosa around and connects with a slingshot suplex! Roberto is taken out of the equation as Rain turns Major around and delivers a kick to his stomach! She goes for a spike DDT! BUT, MAJOR MANAGES TO TURN HIMSELF AROUND BEFORE LIFTING RAIN IN A VERTICAL SUPLEX POSITION! LOOK AT HOW STRAIGHT THAT VERTICAL IS! HE GOES TO PUTS HER DOWN, BUT INSTEAD OF THAT, HE PUTS HER DOWN AND RELEASES HIS GRASP AS RAIN FALLS BACK AND OUT OF THE RING! SHE IS OUT!
Bella Braxton: RAIN KASEY HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!!!!!!!
Persephone: I was going to make a USA/Japan joke, but I need this job. 🤐
Stew-O: Smart decision on your part. As we move on to the rest of this match, we see that Valerie Hellstorm and Komatsu Ogawa are battling it out! Now, this is a random clashing that never crossed anyone’s mind! Komatsu lifts up Valerie who is trying to kick her legs back down! BUT, KOMATSU IS HOISTING THIS WOMAN UP AND CONNECTING WITH A MILITARY PRESS SLAM AS SHE GOES CRASHING DOWN! VALERIE IS CLUTCHING TO HER STOMACH IN PAIN! KOMATSU GRABS VALERIE BY HER FACE AND FORCES HER UP TO HER FEET! BUT, VALERIE IS TRYING TO FIGHT BACK! SHE TRIES TO KICK THE SIDE OF KOMATSU’S LEGS, BUT KOMATSU DELIVERS A NASTY LOOKING HEADBUTT THAT TAKES VALERIE DOWN!
Gavin Kirkland: My little firecracker is totally going to feel that in the morning! I do after a night of drinking! Komatsu is stalking Valerie Hellstorm back to her feet as he charges forward, connecting with a spinning back elbow smash to Valerie, but Valerie manages to duck it! Instead, it is her who connects with a double knee facebreaker as that sends Komatsu back! Valerie runs after him and it seems like she’s going to go for a double knee face breaker once more! BUT, KOMATSU MANAGES TO CATCH HER AND HE HOISTS HER UP IN A POWERBOMB POSITION! HE TURNS OUTSIDE OF THE RING AND IT SEEMS LIKE HE’S GOING TO SEND POOR VALERIE CRUSHING DOWN!
Persephone: But, Valerie Hellstorm manages to connect with a head scissors as we see her pull Komatsu Ogawa down to the apron with her! Now, this doesn’t look to be the most ideal position to be in! But, if we get a double elimination here! This is going to be great!
Stew-O: VALERIE HELLSTORM AS THE FIRST ONE UP TO HER FEET AS SHE CHARGES AT KOMATSU OGAWA WITH A RUNNING DROPKICK AS KOMATSU FALLS BACK AS THE BACK OF HIS HEAD COLLIDES WITH THE STEEL RING POST! DUE TO THAT MOMENTUM, HE ENDS UP FALLING OFF THE APRON! KOMATSU IS OUT!
Bella Braxton: KOMATSU OGAWA HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Now, that was a pretty terrifying situation to be in! Valerie Hellstorm with a huge smile on her face as she picked up her first elimination in this match up! Now, we turn our attention to Delilah Rose with NOVA! NOVA DROPS WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK BEFORE QUICKLY PICKING HER UP TO HIS FEET AND CONNECTING WITH A BRAINBUSTER! NOVA CALLS THAT ‘RELEASE FROM THE WORLD’ AS HE PICKS UP DELILAH AND THROWS HER OVER THE TOP ROPE!
Persephone: Sadly, Delilah Rose manages to hang on stomach first as she gets herself back inside the ring! NOVA goes right after her with a running dropkick as Delilah did the awful thing by hanging onto the ropes as the dropkick was being executed! She prevented herself from falling through the middle rope and possibly landing on the apron! NOVA picks her up and connects with a snap suplex as that takes her back! Delilah is clutching to her lower back she looks to find her way back to her feet! NOVA picks her up on his shoulders! I think that he might be looking to throw her over the top rope!
Stew-O: Not quite yet, Seph! NOVA is going for ‘Eternailzer’ — fireman’s carry emerald flowsion! I saw him executing this move during training in the performance center one time and it’s a thing of beauty! No! Delilah drops down as she counters with an inverted headlock backbreaker! ‘Taste of Ink’ on NOVA as that sends him crashing down! Delilah goes back as she stalks NOVA up to his feet! You can see the focused look on her face as NOVA is slowly making his way up to his feet —
Gavin Kirkland: ‘KISS GOODNIGHT’ — STANDING RUNNING SHINING WIZARD AS THAT TAKES NOVA DOWN! NOW, DELILAH PICKS UP NOVA AND THROWS HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE! NOVA IS GONE!
Bella Braxton: NOVA HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!!!!!!!!!
Persephone: Delilah Rose is dusting her hands off as she moves onto her next victim! Roberto De La Rosa picks up Axel Graves and wraps his arms around the waist of Axel before taking him back with a German suplex! Axel finds his way back to the corner as Roberto follows that up with a big boot —
Stew-O: AXEL GRAVES MANAGES TO GET HIMSELF OUT OF THE WAY! ROBERTO DE LA ROSA GETS HIS BOOT STUCK ON THE TOP ROPE AND IT SEEMS LIKE AXEL MIGHT HAVE FOUND HIS OPENING AS HE LOOKS TO THROW ROBERTO OVER THE TOP ROPE! BUT, ROBERTO IS HOLDING ON FOR DEAR LIFE! ROBERTO KNOWS HOW IMPORTANT THIS MATCH IS FOR HIM AND LA FAMILIA! Axel grabs onto Roberto’s leg and connects with a dragon screw leg whip as that takes him back inside the ring! It seems like Axel might be trying another approach in taking Roberto out of the ring! He lifts Roberto up for ‘Gravedigger’ — the widowmaker! Axel gets Roberto up on his shoulders as he walks towards the rope! He’s going to throw Roberto off the top rope with this move! BUT, ROBERTO IS HANGING ON WITH HIS HANDS! HE MANAGES TO SLIDE OFF AXEL’S SHOULDERS AS HE TAKES AXEL DOWN WITH A ‘TALON DE ÁGUILA,’ CUTTING THAT MAN IN HALF!
Gavin Kirkland: Roberto De La Rosa picks him up and sends Axel over the top rope! Axel Graves is out of this match!
Bella Braxton: AXEL GRAVES HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!!!!!!!
Persephone: Lucas Johnson and Tanner Black are trading punches with each other! Tanner tries to go for a running knee lift, but Lucas manages to go back as he misses the knee! Lucas connects with an uppercut that sends Tanner back! Lucas connects with a powerful clothesline as she sends Tanner down! I hope that we see another elimination here! Lucas picks up Tanner and I think that we’re going to be seeing ‘Killswitch’ — a front Russian leg sweep! BUT, TANNER CONNECTS WITH AN ELBOW TO LUCAS’ FACE! TANNER CONNECTS WITH ANOTHER ELBOW AS THAT RELEASES THE GRASP THAT LUCAS HAD ON HIM! TANNER SURPRISES LUCAS WITH A CUTTER OUT OF NOWHERE, BUT LUCAS SHOVES TANNER AWAY FROM HIM! TANNER CONNECTS WITH A SUPERKICK AS THAT SENDS THE FORMER NEW BREED CHAMPION BACK!
Stew-O: Tanner Black runs after Lucas Johnson before taking him down with a jumping DDT! Tanner is feeling quite good for himself as it looks like he might be looking for an elimination here! But, first he runs to the ropes, looking to springboard off of them! I think that we’re seeing ‘The X-Wing’ here! His variation of the springboard cutter —
Gavin Kirkland: BUT, LUCAS JOHNSON SAW HIS OPENING HERE AS HE SHOVES TANNER BLACK OVER THE TOP ROPE AS HE WAS GETTING INTO POSITION FOR ‘THE X-WING!’ TANNER BLACK CRASHES ONTO THE RINGSIDE FLOOR! HE IS OUT!
Bella Braxton: TANNER BLACK HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!!!!!!
Persephone: Lucas Johnson was able to capitalize on that! Good on him! We turn our attention to Korey Gaines who manages to take down Kasai with a rope hung swinging neckbreaker! I mean, that was kind of dumb since he could have thrown her over the top rope with that! But, what do I know? Korey now looks to get himself on the top rope! Now, what in the world would he do that! I know that he’s all about taking risks, but this is the last match where you need to be taking risks!
Stew-O: I mean, he did make it to the final three in the 24/7 Battle Royal a few years ago! I think that he may know a thing or two about these types of matches!
Gavin Kirkland: Korey Gaines is setting himself up on the top rope! BUT, LOOK KASAI MEETS KOREY ON THE TOP ROPE! KASAI THROWS A PUNCH TO KOREY! BUT, KOREY CONNECTS WITH A GIANT HEADBUTT! THIS TAKES KASAI ONTO THE SECOND TURNBUCKLE, BUT KASAI MANAGES TO CONNECT WITH A PUNCH AS THAT TAKES KOREY BACK! KOREY WITH ANOTHER HEADBUTT AS THAT SENDS KASAI DOWN! BUT, KASAI STILL MANAGES TO LAND ON HER FEET! NOW, SHE’S PICKING UP KOREY IN A POWERBOMB POSITION! KOREY IS PUNCHING THE TOP OF HER HEAD! I MEAN, THAT IS NO WAY TO TREAT A LADY!
Persephone: Kasai connects with a reverse powerbomb as Korey Gaines meets face first against the ropes! Kasai charges at Korey with a meteora, BUT KOREY MANAGES TO CATCH HER IN THE DOUBLE KNEES POSITION AS HE HOISTS HER UP! I THINK THAT HE MIGHT BE LOOKING TO THROW KASAI OVER! BUT, KASAI MANAGES TO GET KOREY IN A HEAD SCISSORS AS HE PULLS KOREY OVER AND WITH ALL THE FORCE IN THE WORLD, SHE THROWS KOREY OUT OF THE RING! KOREY IS OUT!
Bella Braxton: KOREY GAINES HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!!!!!!!
Stew-O: Kasai with an elimination for herself! Now, we look at Bea Valentine and Mercer McKay! Mercer has Bea at the corner as he connects with a big boot at the corner! Bea stumbles forward as Mercer grabs her by the hands and connects with a ripcord lariat before following that up with an emerald flowsion! ‘Burning Flowsion’ connects! Now, Mercer connects with a choke breaker and we’re going to see that into a burning hammer! ‘Seed of Evil’ connects —
Gavin Kirkland: NO! BEA VALENTINE DUCKS THE MOVE AS SHE CONNECTS WITH A LOW BLOW ON MERCER MCKAY! NOW, THIS IS ALL LEGAL, GUYS! SHE MANAGES TO TAKE THE BIG GUY DOWN BEFORE BACKING UP AND CONNECTING WITH ‘BIRDS AND THE BEA’ — WHAT A CUTE LITTLE PUN! THE KINSHASA CONNECTS ON MERCER! THIS TAKES MERCER TO HIS BACK AS BEA CONNECTS WITH A STANDING DOUBLE FOOT STOMP TO THE RIBS FOR AN ADDED INSULT TO INJURY!
Persephone: BEA VALENTINE PICKS UP MERCER MCKAY AS MERCER SHOVES HER AWAY FROM HIM! BUT, BEA COMES TO MERCER AND CLOTHESLINES HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE WITH ALL OF THE STRENGTH IN THE WORLD!
Stew-O: MERCER MCKAY LANDS ON THE APRON! BEA VALENTINE RUNS AND CONNECTS WITH A SHOULDER THRUST THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE AS THAT SENDS THE BIG MAN OUT OF THE RING! MERCER MCKAY IS OUT OF THIS MATCH!
Bella Braxton: MERCER MCKAY HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: An elimination for my sweet little bumble Bea! Now, we look towards Roberto De La Rosa and Keoga Leoso! Keoga connects with a giant hip attack at the corner! If that doesn’t cause for Roberto to be out for the night, I’m not sure what will! I would hate to be a victim of that hip attack! Keoga picks up Roberto and connect with a ‘Chaos Breaker’ — the high angle uranage on Roberto! Robert is sent crashing down! I think that we’re going to see a huge favorite be eliminated from this match up!
Persephone: Keoga Leoso picks up Roberto De La Rosa and throws him over the top rope! BUT, ROBERTO FALLS ONTO THE APRON! HE ROLLS HIMSELF INSIDE THE RING AND IT SEEMS LIKE HE’S TRYING TO RECOVER FROM ‘CHAOS BREAKER!’ KEOGA SEES THAT HE DIDN’T ELIMINATED ROBERTO DE LA ROSA FROM THIS MATCH UP! I THINK THAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR ‘CHAOS BREAKER’ ONCE MORE, HOPING THAT IT TAKES ONE MORE IMPACTFUL MOVE TO PUT ROBERTO’S CHANCES OF WINNING THIS MATCH TO DUST!
Stew-O: Roberto De La Rosa jumps out of the move! I’m not sure if that was out of luck or that he planned for that to happen, but he managed to do it! OUT OF NOWHERE, ROBERTO CONNECTS WITH A TWO HANDED CHOP TO THE THROAT OF KEOGA BEFORE LIFTING HIM UP FOR A ROLLING CUTTER! ‘EL PEGUE DE MEZCAL’ CONNECTS! BUT, IT SEEMS LIKE ROBERTO IS NOT DONE HERE! HE CONNECTS WITH A SERIES OF BIG ELBOWS TO THE SKULL OF KEOGA! OVER AND OVER AGAIN, KEOGA IS BEING HIT WITH THESE ELBOWS! OH GOD, I THINK THAT KEOGA IS OUT OF IT! ROBERTO NOTICES THAT AS FOLLOWS THAT UP WITH A RUNNING DROPKICK! ‘CUERNO DE CHIVO’ CONNECTS AS ROBERTO GRABS KEOGA AND THROWS HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE!
Bella Braxton: KEOGA LEOSO HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Another elimination for ‘El Padrastro!’ Now, we look at sweet little Ayu Megumi and MITSUBACHI giving out the performance that Jake Mercer would be drooling over on his Discord! MITSUBACHI connects with a punch to Ayu, but Ayu is asking for MITSUBACH to hit him harder! This causes MITSUBACHI to hit her harder! He is throwing a fury of punches to Ayu, but Ayu refuses to go down! Ayu connects with a giant knee strike that takes MITSUBACHI down to his knees! Now, we’re going to see Ayu going back and I think that we might be seeing that claymore kick! She calls that ‘Ethereal Blade!’ She charges at MITSUBACHI!
Persephone: But, MITSUBACHI gets up and connects with a spinning heel kick as that stops Ayu Megumi in her tracks! MITSUBACHI sits Ayu up as he begins to connect with shoot kicks to her face! But, Ayu remains perfectly still! Ayu is refusing to go down without a fight! Ayu knows how important this match is for her! This could change the course of her career! Ayu is finding her way back to her feet as MITSUBACHI continues to hit her with shoot kicks! YOU CAN SEE THE FIRE AND DETERMINATION IN AYU’S EYES AS SHE GRABS ONTO THE LEG OF MITSUBACHI! AYU CONNECTS WITH A ‘SACRED ARROW’ — THE SPINNING BACK FIST AS THAT TAKES MITSUBACHI BACK!
Stew-O: BUT, MITSUBACHI CONNECTS WITH A GIANT KNEE STRIKE TO AYU MEGUMI’S FACE! THIS CAUSES FOR AYU TO FALL TO HER KNEE! WE SEE MITSUBACHI GO BACK AS HE RUNS TO AYU ‘TOGE NO KIOKU’ — HIS VARIATION OF THE KINSHASA TO AYU!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT, AYU MEGUMI SPRINGS UP BACK TO LIFE WITH A ‘FATALITY’ — THE RUNNING BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE TO THE SKILL OF MITSUBACHI! NOW, SHE RUNS AFTER MITSUBACHI! ‘ETHEREAL BLADE’ AS THAT SENDS MITSUBACHI OVER THE TOP ROPE! MITSUBACHI IS OUT OF HERE!
Bella Braxton: MITSUBACHI HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!!!!!!
Persephone: The look on Ayu Megumi’s face is completely priceless! She got eliminated there! Meanwhile, we see Drake Armstrong and Rory Slate dealing with one another! Rory Slate connects with a kick to Drake and we’re going to be seeing the double arm DDT — ‘GTFO’ connects! BUT, DRAKE MANAGES TO TWIST HIMSELF AROUND AS HE GETS RORY AND LOOKS TO GO FOR THE ‘BOURGEOIS BITE!’ BUT, RORY MANAGES TO SLIDE OUT OF POSITION! SHE IS GOING FOR THE ‘CHICAGO HANGOVER’ — THE SLEEPERHOLD, BUT DRAKE MANAGES TO FLIP HER OVER AND ONTO A SEATED POSITION!
Stew-O: Drake Armstrong connects with a sliding forearm to the back of Rory Slate’s skull as that takes her to her side! Drake gets in front of her as he takes a few steps back! I think that we’re going to be seeing that running front dropkick again! ‘Halberd from Hell!’
Gavin Kirkland: Rory Slate manages to jump back to her feet and blast Drake Armstrong with a knee strike! We see that she is going for the ‘GTFO’ as that connects this time around! Drake is out of it! Now, Rory is looking to throw Drake over the top rope! BUT, DRAKE MANAGES TO DROP DOWN! I THINK THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN THE BEST THING THAT DRAKE COULD HAVE DONE! RORY CONNECTS WITH SOME PUNCHES TO THE BACK OF DRAKE’S SKULL, HOPING THAT AT LEAST ONE OF THEM MANAGES TO PASS HIM OUT! NOW, WE SEE RORY GOING BACK AS SHE CHARGES AT DRAKE WITH A RUNNING KNEE STRIKE TO HIS SKULL —
Persephone: BUT, DRAKE ARMSTRONG WAS PLAYING POSSEM! HE MANAGES TO CONNECT WITH THAT ‘HALBERD FROM HELL’ AS HE GRABS HER AND THROWS HER OVER, BUT LOOK AYU MEGUMI PULLS DOWN THE TOP ROPE AS RORY GOES FLYING OUT OF THE RING! RORY IS OUT OF THIS MATCH!
Bella Braxton: RORY SLATE HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!!!!!!
Stew-O: MASSIVE TEAMWORK BY BOTH AYU MEGUMI AND DRAKE ARMSTRONG, BUT LOOK! DRAKE GOES RIGHT AFTER AYU, AND HE IS TRYING TO GET HER OUT, BUT IT ISN’T WORKING! Meanwhile, Roberto De La Rosa is going at it with Major, and the rest of the field is back on attack, this match has been going at a million miles per hour since the very get go, and I don’t think that it is going to be slowing down anytime soon with how badly all of these Elitists are wanting to win this match and win that very contract this week!
Gavin Kirkland: Micahel Machina and Harley Lewis are battling it out on the other side of the ring right now, and it looks like Harley might be able to get Michael out right here, but Michael is managing to fight back, and Valerie Hellstorm rushes in to save the day, as she knocks Harley back and off of Michael! She grabs Harley by the wrist, before irish whipping him off of the ropes, BUT HARLEY KNOCKS VALERIE RIGHT BACK DOWN WITH A MASSIVE CLOTHESLINE, AND DOWN GOES VALERIE, BUT HARLEY RUNS RIGHT INTO A MASSIVE ROUNDHOUSE KICK RIGHT BY KASAI!
Persephone: HARLEY LEWIS DAZED! HARLEY LEWIS IS DAZED AND IT LOOKS LIKE KASAI IS GOING TO GRAB A HOLD OF HIM, ONLY FOR HARLEY TO BREAK OUT OF HER GRASP, AND HE LIFTS HER RIGHT UP AND INTO THE AIR WITH A HUGE KNEECAP BRAINBUSTER!! KASAI GOES HEAD FIRST RIGHT INTO HARLEY’S KNEE, AND JUST LIKE THAT, SHE MIGHT BE OUT OF IT IN THIS MATCH, AS NOW ALL HARLEY HAS TO DO IS GET HER UP AND THROW HER OUT OF THE RING, AS HE GRABS HER BY HER ATTIRE, AND THERE SHE GOES! SHE’S OUT OF THIS MATCH!
Stew-O: NOOO!!! KASAI HOLDS ON! SHE HOLDS ONTO THE ROPES AND FALLS ONTO THE APRON! Harley Lewis can’t believe it, he thought that he had gotten Kasai out of the match, and he quickly rushes over to her, but Kasai forearms her right into the face, and that staggers Harley back a bit! Harley backs away, BUT VALERIE IS BACK TO HER FEET, GRABBING HIM BY THE WAIST BEFORE THROWING HIM OVER HER HEAD WITH A MASSIVE GERMAN SUPLEX! HARLEY GETS PROPPED TO HIS FEET FROM THE SUPLEX, AND KASAI SPRINGBOARDS ONTO THE ROPES AND INTO THE RING, TAKING HARLEY OUT WITH A SPRINGBOARD DROPKICK!
Gavin Kirkland: AND HARLEY LEWIS FALLS BACKWARD, AND VALERIE HELLSTORM MIGHT BE ABLE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS, AS SHE GRABS HARLEY, AND SHE CONNECTS WITH THE STUNNER! THE STUNNER! VALERIE CONNECTS WITH THE ‘SNAPSHOT’ ON HARLEY LEWIS, AND HE MIGHT JUST BE DONE, AS SHE GRABS HIM BY HIS HAIR, AND SHE RUSHES HIM ALL THE WAY OVER TO THE ROPES, BEFORE SHE SENDS HARLEY FLYING OVER THE TOP ROPE!! HARLEY GOES CRASHING DOWN TO THE RINGSIDE FLOOR DOWN BELOW, AND THAT IS IT! HARLEY LEWIS IS OUT OF THIS YEAR’S BATTLE ROYAL NOW!
Bella Braxton: HARLEY LEWIS HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!!!!!!!
Persephone: Kasai and Valerie Hellstorm both worked together in that instance, hitting Harley Lewis with some of their very best shots and taking him out of the equation long enough for Valerie to find a way to eliminate him out of the match! But look, Valerie turns around, and Bea Valentine rushes in and she starts to attack Valerie, while Lucas Johnson runs in attacking at Kasai, and now everyone is right back into their own playing fields, fighting to see who is going to get the next elimination in this very match!
Stew-O: Roberto De La Rosa and Ayu Megumi are going back at it at the other side of the ring right now, but look, Roberto takes a swing at Ayu, only for Ayu to duck it, AND SHE HITS ROBERTO WITH THE RYO NO IKARI!!! AYU HITS ROBERTO WITH THE SUPERKICK RIGHT ON THE JAW, AND ROBERTO FALLS DOWN TO HIS KNEES! AYU CHANGES TARGETS THO AS SHE SEES MICHAEL STUMBLING TOWARDS HER, AND A RYO NO IKARI TO MICHAEL AS WELL! AYU HAS BEEN PUTTING IN A STAR PERFORMANCE THIS WHOLE MATCH AND HASN’T STOPPED SINCE THE OPENING BELL!
Gavin Kirkland: DRAKE ARMSTRONG RUNS IN AT AYU… BUT HE IS MET WITH A SUPERKICK AS WELL!! AYU IS TAKING EVERYONE OUT WITH A PARTY OF RYO NO IKARI SUPERKICKS, AS SHE HITS ONE ON LUCAS JOHNSON NOW!! AND THEN MAJOR!! AND THEN A SUPERKICK FOR VALERIE HELLSTORM AND DELILAH ROSE! AYU MEGUMI IS CLEARING OUT THE COMPETITION ONE BY ONE, AND SHE ISN’T STOPPING; AS SHE NAILS ANOTHER RYO NO IKARI TO DELILAH ROSE TO KEEP HER DOWN, BEFORE LETTING OUT A HUGE BATTLE CRY! AYU IS UNSTOPPABLE RIGHT NOW, AND SHE TURNS AROUND AND LISTENS TO THE FANS CHANTING HER NAME! SHE’S UNSTOPPABLE!
Persephone: BUT BEA VALENTINE RUSHES IN AND CRASHES THE PARTY WITH A HUGE BIG BOOT RIGHT INTO AYU’S FACE!! Just like that, the superkick party is put to an end as the crowd starts to rain down boos on Bea Valentine, but it is clear that she doesn’t care as she quickly picks Ayu back to her feet, and she sends her over the top rope, thus eliminating Ayu from this match!! Ayu put in a great effort guys, but in the end it was one split second for The Amazing Girl to suffer elimination-
(…)
Stew-O: NO, PERSEPHONE! IT’S NOT OVER FOR THE AMAZING GIRL, AS AYU HOLDS ONTO THE ROPES AND SWINGS HER BODY RIGHT BACK INTO THE RING, AS BEA TURNS AROUND! IT LOOKS LIKE SHE HAS JUST SAW A GHOST, AS AYU CONNECTS WITH RYO NO IKARI ONTO BEA VALENTINE!! AYU JUST KNOCKED BEA’S SHOES OFF OF HER WITH THAT SUPERKICK, BUT DRAKE ARMSTRONG RUSHES IN AND PUSHES AYU OUT OF THE WAY, BEFORE HE GRABS A HOLD OF BEA, AND HE THROWS HER OUT OF THE RING, STEALING THE ELIMINATION FROM AYU MEGUMI! BEA VALENTINE JUST GOT THROWN OUT BY DRAKE!
Bella Braxton: BEA VALENTINE HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: And just look at that smirk painted all over Drake’s face right now, as the chaos continues to spill out in the ring, but he just is staring daggers right down at Bea while she is being helped away from the ring, and that smile has not left his face! BUT IT IS ABOUT TO AS MAJOR SCOTT CONNOR JUST CAME FROM BEHIND AND HE NAILS A PICTURE PERFECT SUPERKICK RIGHT TO THE BACK OF DRAKE’S HEAD, STOPPING DRAKE’S TIME TO EVEN TAKE IN THAT MOMENT FOR HIM AT THAT MOMENT!
Persephone: And now Major quickly grabs Drake Armstrong by the hair, AND IT LOOKS LIKE HE IS GOING TO THROW DRAKE OUT OF THE RING EFFECTIVELY, BUT DRAKE HOLDS ON! DRAKE HOLDS ONTO THE ROPES BEFORE HE COULD GO OVER THE TOP ROPE, AND MAJOR DOES NOT LOOK VERY PLEASED WITH THAT!! He is trying to get Drake over the top rope, but Drake is holding on for dear life right now, and here comes Michael, rushing right back into the fray, and he knocks Major down and off of Drake Armstrong, before beating down onto him in the ring!
Persephone: This gives Drake Armstrong time to crawl away and back into the corner, as Michael quickly picks Major back up to his feet, LIFTING HIM HIGH INTO THE AIR BEFORE DROPPING HIM RIGHT BACK DOWN INTO THE MAT WITH A SPINEBUSTER! MAJOR’S SPINE MIGHT HAVE JUST BEEN BROKEN RIGHT IN HALF AS MICHAEL PICKS THE MAJOR BACK UP TO HIS FEET, AND HE STARTS TO KNEE HIM IN THE SPINE OVER AND OVER AGAIN! MAJOR IS CRYING OUT IN AGONY AS MICHAEL NOW GRABS HIM, BEFORE THROWING HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE AND MAJOR GOES SPLAT RIGHT DOWN TO THE FLOOR!
Bella Braxton: MAJOR MICHAEL SCOTT CONNOR HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!!!!!!
Stew-O: Just like that, the Major has been eliminated from this 24/7 battle royal!
Gavin Kirkland: AS MUCH AS I WOULD LIKE TO GRIEVE ABOUT THE MAJOR BEING GONE AND SAY HOW IT ISN’T FAIR, LOOK AT WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE OTHER CORNER RIGHT NOW! AYU MEGUMI AND VALERIE HELLSTORM HAD BOTH GONE OVER THE TOP ROPE, AND THEY ARE FIGHTING IT OUT ON THE APRON, BOTH WOMEN ARE TRYING TO HOLD ON FOR DEAR LIFE WHILE TRYING TO GET THE OTHER OUT OF THE MATCH!
Persephone: MEANWHILE THE SAME IS HAPPENING WITH ROBERTO DE LA ROSA AND LUCAS JOHNSON, WHERE BOTH MEN HAD GONE OVER THE TOP ROPE AND NOW ON THE APRON!! THEY ARE GOING AT IT RIGHT NOW, AS ROBERTO DE LA ROSA NAILS A HUGE RIGHT HAND RIGHT TO THE FACE OF LUCAS JOHNSON, BUT LUCAS RESPONDS WITH A RIGHT HAND OF HIS OWN! RIGHT HAND BY ROBERTO! FOREARM SMASH BY LUCAS! WHILE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE RING, WE HAVE AYU WITH A KICK TO VALERIE’S LEG, AND VALERIE RESPONDS WITH A KICK TO AYU’S LEG OF HER VERY OWN!
Stew-O: NONE OF THESE ELITISTS ARE LOOKING TO GIVE UP OR GIVE IN RIGHT NOW, AS AYU MEGUMI IS ABLE TO GRAB A HOLD OF VALERIE HELLSTORM BY THE WAIST, BUT VALERIE FIGHTS OUT OF IT, AND SHE THROWS HERSELF THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE AND BACK INTO THE RING! But I don’t think that Valerie got away as fast as she thinks she does, as Ayu quickly scales up to the top rope while Valerie is trying to get some breathing room right here, and it looks like she has Valerie on topic, AS SHE HITS THE DIVING MOONSAULT!!! ‘LEAPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!’
Gavin Kirkland: Ayu Megumi might have just taken Valerie Hellstorm out of this match effectively right here and there, but that doesn’t stop the fight that is happening on the apron on the other side of the ring, AS IT LOOKS LIKE LUCAS JOHNSON IS TRYING TO GO FOR A BRAINBUSTER ON THE APRON!! HE IS TRYING TO PLANT ROBERTO DE LA ROSA DOWN ONTO THE APRON WITH A MASSIVE BRAINBUSTER, BUT ROBERTO IS HOLDING ON! ROBERTO IS HOLDING ON FOR DEAR LIFE AS LUCAS JOHNSON IS TRYING TO GET HIM TO GO CRASHING DOWN RIGHT TO THE FLOOR BELOW!
Persephone: BUT ROBERTO DE LA ROSA IS ABLE TO GET OUT OF HIS GRASP, BEFORE WRAPPING HIS ARMS AROUND LUCAS JOHNSON TIGHTLY, AS HE DRIVES HIM SPINE FIRST RIGHT INTO THE RINGPOST!! Lucas Johnson might just be out of it there, but Roberto isn’t done as he quickly drags Lucas back over to the center of the apron, and he lifts him high into the air!! Lucas Johnson can’t do anything about it, AS ROBERTO DE LA ROSA PLANTS LUCAS JOHNSON ONTO THE APRON WITH THE PILEDRIVER!!! ROBERTO JUST TOOK LUCAS JOHNSON OUT WITH THE CALLING CARD, AND LUCAS FALLS OFF OF THE APRON AND CRASHES DOWN TO THE FLOOR!
Bella Braxton: LUCAS JOHNSON HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!!!!!!!
Stew-O: Just like that, Lucas Johnnson has been eliminated from this match! BUT LOOK! AYU MEGUMI HAS VALERIE HELLSTORM IN HER GRASP RIGHT NOW, AND SHE THROWS HER OVER THE TOP ROPE, BUT VALERIE LANDS ONTO THE APRON!! AYU NOTICES THIS, AND VALERIE TRIES TO FIGHT BACK, BUT AYU STOPS IT FROM HAPPENING BEFORE CATCHING HER WITH A FOREARM SMASH! Valerie is dazed right now as Ayu stumbles backward, BEFORE SHE CLOSES THE DISTANCE BACK IN AND CATCHES VALERIE WITH A DROPKICK THROUGH THE ROPES AND RIGHT TO THE RIBCAGE OF VALERIE HELLSTORM
Gavin Kirkland: AND VALERIE FALLS OFF OF THE APRON!! VALERIE IS OUT OF THIS MATCH!!
Bella Braxton: VALERIE HELLSTORM HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!!!!!!
Persephone: AND JUST LIKE THAT, WE ARE NOW DOWN TO SIX! DELILAH ROSE, KASAI, AYU MEGUMI, DRAKE ARMSTRONG, ROBERTO DE LA ROSA, AND MICHAEL MACHINA ARE NOW THAT IS LEFT IN THIS 24/7 BATTLE ROYAL, AND WOW, WHAT A WAY FOR US TO BE NEARING AN END TO THIS MATCH! I CAN’T EVEN BELIEVE THAT I AM EXCITED FOR SOMETHING MY REXY AIN’T EVEN INVOLVED IN NOW!
Stew-O: That’s right, and now everyone in this match is going right back at it!! Drake goes after Michael! Ayu goes after Roberto! Delilah goes after Kasai! All of these Elitists have something to prove and they have their way to prove it, by winning that 24/7 contract in this battle royal, and all of them are willing to do whatever it takes to make sure that they can get the job done, and they have proved it throughout the entirety of this match from very beginning up until now! Who is going to get the final laugh here?
Gavin Kirkland: It looks like we are just going to have to find out, AS AYU MEGUMI THROWS ANOTHER SUPERKICK AT ROBERTO, BUT ROBERTO DUCKS OUT OF THE WAY, AND AYU ENDS UP NAILING KASAI BLANK IN THE FACE INSTEAD!! AYU DID NOT HIT HER SUPPOSED TARGET, AND ROBERTO DROPS HER FROM BEHIND BECAUSE OF IT! But look at Delilah’s face, she has a huge smirk, as she grabs Kasai’s deadweight, and it looks like she is going to be the one to pick the bones from that Ryo No Ikari superkick, and she is going to throw Kasai out!
Persephone: BUT SHE IS STOPPED RIGHT IN HER TRACKS AS DRAKE ARMSTRONG NAILS A HUGE LARIAT TURNING DELILAH ROSE INSIDE OUT!! DELILAH ROSE IS OUT OF IT, AND DRAKE ARMSTRONG IS GOING TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF WHAT IS GIVEN TO HIM, AS HE GRABS DELILAH BY HER HAIR, AND HE LIFTS HER UP INTO A GOTCH STYLE PILEDRIVER!!! DRAKE ARMSTRONG NAILS ‘DEATH PENALTY’ AND NOW HE PICKS DELILAH ROSE BACK UP TO HER FEET ONCE MORE, BEFORE HE CARELESSLY THROWS HER OUT OF THE RING, AND DELILAH DROPS TO THE FLOOR DEAD!! AND JUST LIKE THAT, WE ARE NOW DOWN TO THE FINAL FIVE HERE!
Bella Braxton: DELILAH ROSE HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: This match has been insane, AND LOOK! WE AREN’T GOING TO HAVE ANY TIME TO EVEN BREATHE, AS AYU MEGUMI RUSHES BACK IN AT KASAI, AND SHE HAS HER TARGET! SHE HAS HER TARGET AND SHE IS SETTLED IN ONTO IT, AS SHE NAILS A HUGE CLOTHESLINE, AND SHE SENDS KASAI FLYING OVER THE TOP ROPE, AND KASAI GOES CRASHING DOWN TO THE FLOOR, ELIMINATING HER FROM THIS MATCH AS WE KNOW IT, AND AYU MEGUMI GETS HERSELF YET ANOTHER ELIMINATION OUT OF THIS MATCH HERE TONIGHT!
(…)
Gavin Kirkland: WAIT NO! NO! NO! KASAI LANDED ON THE APRON AND SHE GRABBED AYU BY HER HAIR, BEFORE PULLING HER OUT ONTO THE APRON WITH HER!! AYU ALMOST JUST WENT FLYING OVER THE TOP ROPE AND DOWN TO THE FLOOR HERSELF, BUT SHE WAS BARELY ABLE TO HIT THE APRON! These two both get back to their feet on the apron, and they start going at it once again, back and forth, none of them are giving in, they are fighting to win this match! They are fighting to be known as the winner of the 24/7 contract!
Persephone: Kasai nails a huge low superkick right to the knee of Ayu, and that makes Ayu drop down to her knees on the apron, but she is still holding on! She is still holding on for dear life, and something has to give her, as Kasai quickly picks Ayu back up to her feet, and it looks like she is trying to chuck Ayu off of the apron and down to the floor, but Ayu holds on, before she drives her knee right into Kasai’s ribcage! Kasai stumbles backward a bit, as both women lean up against the ropes…
Stew-O: RYO NO IKARI!!!!!!! AYU NAILS THE SUPERKICK ON KASAI, AND KASAI FALLS OFF THE APRON!! KASAI HAS BEEN ELIMINATED IN THIS MATCH, AND AYU HAS GOTTEN HER FOURTH ELIMINATION!!!!
Bella Braxton: KASAI HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Kasai put up a huge performance in this match, fit for a rising Elitist in this company, but in the end it was Ayu Megumi who would eliminate her effectively with the usage of the Ryo No Ikari superkick, and we are now down to the final four of this match, as Ayu looks to get herself back into the ring now-
Persephone: WAIT!! WHAT THE?? MICHAEL MACHINA COMES OUT OF NOWHERE, AND HE STARTS TO ATTACK AYU!! AYU IS HOLDING ON FOR DEAR LIFE, BUT MICHAEL ISN’T GIVING UP! MICHAEL ISN’T GIVING UP! AYU IS TRYING TO HOLD ON TO STAY ALIVE IN THIS MATCH… BUT IT MAY NOT BE ENOUGH!!!

(Ayu drops.)
Bella Braxton: AYU MEGUMI HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ayu Megumi: …
(Ayu just sits down there on the ringside floor, in complete disbelief. She was so close to winning this battle royal, but in the end, one split second was enough to get her out of the match, leaving her in nothing more than disappointment.)
Stew-O: Guys, you have to give it up for Ayu Megumi right here. She fought until she couldn’t any longer, and in the end, all it took was something that took her from surprise to effectively eliminate her from this match. A star performance by The Amazing Girl, but it wasn’t to be, as we are now down to the final three, and it’s fitting that it is all Showdown, isn’t it? With Michael Machina, Roberto De La Rosa, and Drake Armstrong, as now we…
Gavin Kirkland: WAIT!! WAIT!! DRAKE AND ROBERTO ARE BOTH RUSHING IN AT MICHAEL!!! THEY DON’T CARE ABOUT EVERY MAN FOR THEMSELVES RIGHT NOW, THEY ARE DOUBLE TEAMING THE BIG MAN AND THEY ARE DOING IT EFFECTIVELY!! MICHAEL IS TRYING TO FIGHT BOTH OF THEM OFF, AND HE GETS THEM OFF OF HIM! Both men fall backwards as Michael gets back to his feet, AND HE TAKES DRAKE ARMSTRONG’S HEAD OFF WITH A HUGE LARIAT!! DRAKE ARMSTRONG IS DOWN AND OUT, AND LISTEN TO MICHAEL JUST SCREAMING AT THE TWO OF THEM!
Michael Machina: (off-mic) THIS IS MY WIN. MY CONTRACT. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT-
Persephone: ROBERTO DE LA ROSA TURNS MICHAEL AROUND, AND HE NAILS HIM WITH THE PILEDRIVER!!! THE CALLING CARD, BUT HE THROWS HIM BACK TO DRAKE ARMSTRONG WHO WAS GETTING BACK TO HIS FEET, AND NOW DRAKE LIFTS MICHAEL UP, NAILING A GOTCH STYLE PILEDRIVER OF HIS OWN!! DRAKE ARMSTRONG NAILS THE ‘DEATH PENALTY,’ AND MICHAEL LOOKS TO BE OUT COLD, AS DRAKE LIFTS HIM BACK UP, AND SENDS HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE!! MICHAEL MACHINA HAS BEEN ELIMINATED FROM THIS MATCH, AND THAT LEAVES US WITH TWO LEFT! DRAKE ARMSTRONG AND ROBERTO DE LA ROSA RIGHT NOW!
Bella Braxton: MICHAEL MACHINA HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!!!!!!!
Stew-O: With the elimination of Michael Machina, we are finally at the final two of the match! Roberto De La Rosa and Drake Armstrong from the Showdown brand! The Showdown representation in this matchup is strong! Both of these Elitists have shown to be wonderful assets to the brand! Both of these men are more than capable of being the future of this company!
Gavin Kirkland: Roberto De La Rosa starts this exchange by connecting with a chop to the chest of Drake Armstrong! Drake returns the favor by connecting with a chop to the chest of Roberto! Roberto with the chop to Drake’s chest! Drake with a chop to Roberto’s chest! Both of these men are hitting each other with everything that they can! Drake swings a punch at Roberto, but Roberto ducks! Roberto looks to connect with a ‘Talon De Águila,’ but Drake manages to get himself out of the way! Drake throws Roberto shoulder first against the steel ring post! He picks up Roberto and connects with the ‘Natural Talent’ – the bridging half-nelson half chickenwing suplex!
Persephone: Now, Drake Armstrong runs forward and goes for the ‘Halberd from Hell!’ That stupid running front dropkick that we’ve been seeing throughout the match! It’s led to some eliminations for Drake!
Stew-O: BUT, ROBERTO DE LA ROSA MOVES HIMSELF OUT OF THE WAY! DRAKE ARMSTRONG SLIDES AND FALLS ONTO HIS BACK! NOW, WE SEE THAT ROBERTO IS CONNECTING WITH A FURY OF ELBOWS, LOOKING TO KNOCK DRAKE OUT! ROBERTO IS GOING INSANE WITH THESE ELBOWS AS HE FINDS HIS WAY UP TO HIS FEET! ROBERTO IS FEELING FIRED UP AS HE PICKS UP DRAKE AND GOES FOR THAT ROLLING CUTTER, BUT DRAKE ENDS UP DROPPING DOWN BEFORE ROBERTO COULD ROLL HIM AND FULLY CONNECT WITH ‘EL PEGUE DE MEZCAL.’ DRAKE BEGINS TO BACK AWAY AS ROBERTO GOES AFTER HIM WITH ‘TALON DE ÁGULIA’ AGAIN AS DRAKE GETS DRIVEN TO THE MAT!
Gavin Kirkland: What in the hell? Drake Armstrong delivers a giant punch to Roberto De La Rosa, stopping him in his tracks? What is that in his possession?
(The camera gets a close look at Drake Armstrong’s fist and he has the custom-built titanium knuckles. Drake with a shit-eating grin on his face. Roberto De La Rosa is out cold as the crowd begins to boo.)
Persephone: That’s amazing! I didn’t see that coming! Now, Drake Armstrong should do the smart thing by throwing him over the top rope! Drake gets Roberto up and throws him over the top rope! Roberto with the crash to the floor!
Stew-O: No! Roberto De La Rosa is hanging on! BUT, DRAKE ARMSTRONG BELIEVES THAT HE HAS THE MATCH WON! SOMEHOW, ROBERTO IS STILL AWAKE IN THIS MATCH UP! DRAKE IS STARTING HIS CELEBRATION EARLY AS HIS BACK IS COMPLETELY TURNED AWAY FROM WHERE ROBERTO IS! ROBERTO, WITH SOME ATHLETICISM, BEGINS TO FLIP HIMSELF BACK INSIDE THE RING! DRAKE TURNS HIMSELF AROUND AS HE CAN’T BELIEVE THAT ROBERTO IS THERE, BUT HE HAS BARELY TIME TO PROCESS AS ROBERTO RUNS AFTER HIM AND CUTS HIM IN HALF WITH ‘TALON DE ÁGULIA!’ THE SPEAR CONNECTS AS ROBERTO THROWS DRAKE OVER THE TOP ROPE AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE! DRAKE GOES DOWN!
Gavin Kirkland: Drake Armstrong lands on the apron, but Roberto De La Rosa sees that as he goes right after Drake, but Drake tugs on the bottom rope! Almost shades of what Ayu Megumi did earlier in the match up to help eliminate Rory Slate! Roberto goes flying out of the ring!
Persephone: NO! ROBERTO DE LA ROSA FINDS HIMSELF ON THE APRON! DRAKE ARMSTRONG AND ROBERTO DE LA ROSA FIND THEMSELVES ON THE APRON! THE FIRST ONE TO MAKE A MISTAKE WILL FIND THEMSELVES ELIMINATED FROM THIS MATCH! DRAKE RUNS AFTER ROBERTO! ‘HALBERD FROM HELL’ AS ROBERTO GOES CRASH AGAINST THE STEEL RING POST! BUT, IT DOESN’T TAKE ROBERTO OUT OF THE RING!
Stew-O: DRAKE ARMSTRONG FINDS HIMSELF UP TO HIS FEET FIRST AS HE GRABS ROBERTO DE LA ROSA WITH A KICK TO THE STOMACH! THEN, HE GETS ROBERTO UPON HIS SHOULDERS! I THINK THAT WE’RE GOING TO BE SEEING AN ELECTRIC CHAIR DRIVER ON ROBERTO! I THINK THIS IS WHAT IS GOING TO TAKE ROBERTO OUT OF THIS MATCH AS DRAKE HAS HIM ANGLED TOWARDS RINGSIDE!
Gavin Kirkland: ROBERTO DE LA ROSA WITH THE HEADSCISSORS ON DRAKE ARMSTRONG AS HE GOES FLIPPING OUTSIDE THE RING! DRAKE ARMSTRONG IS OUT! ROBERTO DE LA ROSA WINS!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘El Gavilan’ by Luis R Conriquez, Peso Pluma and Tony Aguirre begins to play through the speakers as the Geodis Park ROARS in deafening cheers. Roberto De La Rosa drops to his knees as Diego and Javier De La Rosa join him, tackling him and embracing him. All of them are full of emotion.)
Bella Braxton: THE WINNER OF THE 24/7 BATTLE ROYAL AND CONTRACT…ROBERTO DE LA ROSA!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Roberto De La Rosa wins the 24/7 Battle Royal! He went through hell and back to become the last Elitist standing from this match! The improvement that this man has been through this past season! He has been more than working for this moment! He’s busted his ass for this moment! He’s been hungry! He’s been determined! He’s been waiting for this moment!
Stew-O: Drake Armstrong was *this* close to winning the match! I thought that Roberto De La Rosa was done after the titanium knuckles, but Roberto pulled through! Although, a fantastic performance by Drake who has more than demonstrated that he’s ready to take on the responsibility of being a future champion! He’s hungry and determined as well! He will be one of the Elitists to watch going into Season 17!
Persephone: I’m just glad this match is over! Congratulations to Roberto De La Rosa!
(The last shot is of La Famila lifting Roberto De La Rosa on their shoulders as Roberto lifts up the 24/7 contract over his head with Esmeralda applauding her husband.)

Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL, is a TRIPLE THREAT MATCH to determine the number one contender for the EAW Specialist CHAMPIONSHIIIIIP!!!!
( “Anti-Hero” Rock Version” by Taylor Swift plays first in the speakers of Geodis Park as the Ironwoman is making an energic entrance and rushes her way towards the ring! She looks pumped and primed as the crowd cheers her on! )
Bella Braxton: INTRODUCING FIRST! Representing Dynasty!! From Chicago, Illinois! Weigjing in at 123 pounds! JAMIEEEEEEEEEEEE CROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSS!!!!!
Stew-O: A ball of energy and one of the most promising talent to currently fight under the Dynasty brand, this little warrior from the Windy City showed us what she is made of since she arrived on the scene! Clearly deserve of the opportunity to win a shot at the Specialist Championship!
Gavin Kirkland: I have to admit, the girl’s got spunk! A nerd unlike any other tho, yuck, but she showed us her passion not just for video games and comic books when she steps foot inside the ring. She has a future that one, let’s see how she goes tonight.
( ‘A Cruel Angel’s Thesis’ by Yoko Takahashi plays over the sound system of Geodis Park as The Master of Excellence makes her way towards the ring. )
Bella Braxton: AAAAND HER OPPONENT! Representing Voltage! From Fukuoka, Japan! Weighing in at 115 pounds: USAGIIIIIIII SENSHIIIIIIIII!!!!!!
Stew-O: To say that Usagi had a roller coaster of a season would be an understatement considering the situation surrounding her partner Ayu Megumi and The Ice Aces earlier in the season!
Gavin Kirkland: Regardless of the ups and down that took place in the past, she needs to focus on right now and what is infront of her: A chance to fight for the Specialist Championship! That should be her sole focus!
( “Mr. Brightside” by The Killers then plays last, cheers are heard as well as Sexi Lexi is hopping her way towards the ring with a look of confidence and focus! )
Gina Romano: AND THEIR OPPONENT!! From Detroit, Michigan! Weighing in at 117 pounds: LEEEEEEEEEXIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Stew-O: I’ve observed her throughout the season and Gavin, you have to admit, that this one, while the most established and experienced of the three, has gone through quite a transformative phase and it was for the best!
Gavin Kirkland: No longer a stalker to Jake Smith, Lexi I won’t lie took control of her career and she has been better off for it! No more is she subject to ridicule and she is gaining more and more respect from the fans who are now cheering for her! That is thanks to her effort! And tonight she’ll need to pull a banger if she wants to win. I can feel it.
( DING!!! DING!!! DING!!! )
Stew-O: THIS NUMBER ONE CONTENDER MATCH FOR THE SPECIALIST CHAMPIONSHIP IS UNDERWAY!! All three opponents are staring at each other inside the ring and Usagi suddenly goes to the ropes trying to get one of the other two to flinch but it doesn’t happen!
Gavin Kirkland: She then decides to charge at Lexi and throws a knee to her midsection and Jamie joins in on the action, pummeling Jamie’s back! Early alliance in this match it seems as Usagi goes for a headlock and follows it with a knee to the face of Jamie! She goes for another, it lands, making Jamie jump with the force! SHE THEN TAKES HER DOWN WITH A SNAPMARE!!
Persephone: AND SHE GOES FOR A COVER!! But Lexi yanks her away before the official count starts counting! Senshi looked to be opportunistic tonight and I don’t think anyone can blame her for that. Lexi with a few punches pacifies Usagi before shifting her focus back to Jamie with a strike to her back! Moving her opponent upward JAMIE SUDDENLY CHARGES AND STRIKES AT USAGI BEFORE GOING FOR SOME OF THE SAME TO LEXI!!
Stew-O: But Usagi goes back on the offense against Jamie, pummeling her to her knees, Senshi then goes for a judo throw before hooking one of Jamie’s legs!!

Persephone: Lexi in the corner holding onto the ropes kicked Jamie in the face as she charged her way! A spinning back kick from the Detroit native follows quickly after forcing Jamie to bend forward, then drops to her fours, AND USAGI OUT OF NOWHERE JUMPS ON HER BACK AND SHOTGUN DROPKICKS HERSELF AGAINST LEXI IN THE CORNER!!!
Stew-O: USAGI IS ON FIRE RIGHT NOW AS SHE QUICKLY GRABS THE HEAD OF LEXI INTO A BULLDOG POSITION AND RUNS toward JAMIE TAKING HER DOWN WITH A CLOTHESLINE!!

Stew-O: SENSHI LIFTS A SHOULDER UP BUT KEEPS THE ARMBAR APPLIED!!! JAMIE IS MOVING UP, SHE’S LIFTING USAGI UP!!! WHAT STRENGTH BY THE IRONWOMAN!!!

How will it affect her through this match?

Persephone: Lexi goes for a quick cover BUT Jamie kicks out which seems to annoy her a bit! Lexi looks at the official wh confirms the he didn’t have time to count and glances over Jamie who is retreating in a corner. Lexi goes to meet with Jamie, throwing a boot to the midsection followed by some punches!
Gavin Kirkland: Jamie moves away from the corner but keeps being under attack by her opponent before getting scoop slammed! Jamie’s back arches as she back steps against another corner followed by Lexi who’s in command at the moment. Jamie to her knees GETS A BOOT TO THE CHEST, PRESSING HER TO THE CORNER!! Lexi gets her up AND BASHES HER FACE ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE!!
Persephone: A few more kicks before moving her boot against Jamie’s throat by Lexi who is not messing around tonight! And who can blame her? This is a chance at a massive opportunity tonight! She let go of Jamie who moves along the ropes, holding her throat as Lexi rouses up the crowd who supports her BUT JAMIE THEN THROWS AN ELBOW TO HER FACE AS SHE WENT TO TRY AND CONTINUE HER OFFENSIVE!!

She then takes some steps back, BEFORE CHARGING WIH A KNEE AGAINST SENSHI’S HEAD!! Usago slowly crumbles to the ground but Lexi doesn’t let her drop she forces her on her feet AND SWINGS HER WITH A SNAP SUPLEX!

Persephone: She could’ve cracked Cross’ skull right there! She looks down on Usagi AND LEAPS HER WAY AND TAKES HER DOWN WITH A HURRICANRANA!!

Persephone: This is a wrestling match, and while I’m growing bored of it I can recognise when I see a wrestling clinic! And there three are showing their passion and dedication, their willingness and their hunger! I see it.
Stew-O: Lexi is looking down at Jamie looking a bit stunned as she smacks the ground by her side showing a bit of frustration. She goes for the ropes, seeing Usagi on her hands and knees SHE PLANTS HER FACE INTO THE MAT WITH A RUNNING BULLDOG!!!
Gavin Kirkland: That one looks like it could leave a mark! Senshi is holding her face in pain as Lexi quickly goes close to Jamie and hops on the top turnbuckle nearby. She is sizing her opponent up as Jamie is slowly moving to her feet. Cross is now fully vertical BUT NOT FOR LONG AS LEXI DIVES WITH A CROSSBODY FROM THE TOP ROPE AND BRINGS THE IRON WOMAN DOWN!!!
Persephone: LEXI ROLLED WITH THE LANDING AND HAS JAMIE IN A ROLL-UP!!! THIS COULD BE IT!!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
Persephone: DAMN IT!!!
Stew-O: USAGI SENSHI JUST DENIED LEXI THE WIN!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Lexi looks livid! Like a wild animal right now as she lunges at Usagi and the two begin to exchange furious blows!! Usagi begins to gain the upper hand and ends up whipping Lexi to the ropes! POP’s her up INTO A POWERBOMB THAT SHE FOLLOWS WITH A STANDING DOUBLE FOOT STOMP AND FINISHES THE COMBO WITH A GROUNDED CORKSCREW KICK!!!!
Persephone: Quite the strong string of offense by Usagi who has Lexi flatten on the floor now! She goes to Jamie who swings for a clothesline but is ducked and met with a backhand chop from Usagi before getting whipped to a corner!
Stew-O: Senshi on the offensive now as she goes up close with Jamie and begins striking her with closed fist punches mixed with some elbow strikes and finishing with an elbow smash! Usagi is moving with haste and agility as she quickly hoists Cross into a fisherman suplex that lands hard on the mat! Cover by Senshi!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: The Ironwoman kicks out!! This match continues.
Gavin Kirkland: Usagi looks disappointed but she isn’t letting this get to her as she moves Jamie to her feet, a few forearm strikes later Cross is sent to the ropes and taken down with a perfectly executed clothesline! Lexi is back in the game trying to take down Usagi BUT SHE ENDS UP ON HER BACK WITH A BELLY-TO-BELLY SUPLEX!!
Persephone: Damn that girl looks like a demon in holy water!! She had a rough start of the match but look at her go! I almost want to root for her!
Stew-O: Usagi then goes to Jamie with an Irish whip to a corner before she herself follows and throws a forearm smash in! Followed with an European uppercut that connects THEN a spinning backfist AND THE A ROUNDHOUSE KICK!!! HOLY HELL!
Gavin Kirkland: If some people has doubts about how badly Usagi wants to win you have a good sample of it just now! AND A DISCUS CLOTHESLINE BRINGS JAMIE DOWN ON HER BACK FOLLOWED BY A STANDING FROGSPLASH AND A COVER!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: CROSS WITH THE KICK OUT!
Persephone: The action is fast paced in this match folks AND USAGI KEEPS ON THE PRESSURE BY GOING FOR A GROUNDED ANKLE LOCK!!!! JAMIE IS SCREAMING ATOP OF HER LUNGS FROM THE PAIN AS SHE TRIES TO KEEP HER BODY FROM TAPPING1!!
Stew-O: What a transition by Usagi right after the failed pinfall and now she is moments away from perhaps winning via submission!! Cross is raising an arm and it’s shaking. Will it drop down and tap on the mat???
Persephone: LEXI WITH THE SAVE WITH A LEG DROP ON USAGI’S CHEST WHO THEN AS A RESULT FREES JAMIE FROM THE LOCK!! Jamie rolls outside of the ring leaving Lexi along with Senshi as she picks her up and sends her to the ropes AND USAGI SURPRISES LEXI WITH A SPRINGBOARD UPPERCUT!!!
Stew-O: Down goes Lexi who tries to get back vertical as soon as she can to try and strike back at her opponent who keeps her on her knees with a headbutt! Jamie is moving to her knees AND GETS A HEADBUTT FROM USAGI AS WELL!!
Gavin Kirkland: WOOAAAAAAAH!!! USAGI IS THROWING REPEATED HEADBUTTS AT BOTH OF HER OPPONENTS BEFORE RUSHING TO THE ROPES AND BULL THROUGH THEM BOTH WITH A CLOTHESLINE!!!! Both Lexi and Jamie are moving upward at the same time AND USAGI TAkES THEM BOTH DOWN WITH A DUAL RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP!!!!
Persephone: She has an opportunity to try and finish this match now that she for the past while gained control of the match! She goes to Lexi, forcing her to her feet, throwing some elbows to her face and then whips her into the ropes. She tries for a clothesline but Lexi evades!
Stew-O: LEXI WITH THE FRICK OUTTA HERE ON USAGI SENSHI!!! THE STANDING SHIRANUI TAKES OUT USAGI TENSHI AND NOW THE DETROIT NATIVE AS AN OPPORTUNITY!! SHE COULD END IT RIGHT THERE BUT JAMIE CROSS IS UP AND LOOKING ON FROM A CORNER SHE’S LOOKING FOR A MOVE WAITING FOR LEXI TO TURN HER WAY!!! WILL LEXI REALIZE SHE IS ABOUT TO GET-
Gavin Kirkland: TOO LATE!!! THE SILVER KNEE!!! THE RUNNING KNEE STRIKE GOES THROUGH LEXI JUST AS SHE TURNED TO MAKE EYE CONTACT WITH CROSS WHO IS PUMPED UP AND PSYCHED!! SHE CAN TASTE THE VICTORY SHE CAN TELL IT’S CLOSE AND SHE MUST CAPITALIZE!!!!
Persephone: Usagi is stirring in the corner as a result of the Frick Outta Here that would have costed her the match had Jamie not kneed Lexi AND SPEAKING OF THE IRON WOMAN SHE IS GOING FOR THE ARC REACTOR!!! SHE HAS LEXI LOCKED IN AND SHE DROPS HER!!!! PERFECTLY EXECUTED BUT NOW SHE HAS TO MAKE THE PIN!!! SHE’S GOING FOR IT!!!!!!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: USAGI IS CRAWLING!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: SHE’S TRYING TO BREAK THE COUNT!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: SHE’S TOO LATE!!!!!!!
( DING!!! DING!!! DING!!!)
( “Anti-Hero” Rock Version” by Taylor Swift plays first in the speakers of Geodis Park as the Ironwoman is moves away from Lexi and rests on her knees while the official is raising her lead arm to confirm her victory, Usagi is not far, sitting, looking disappointed that she didn’t win. )
Bella Braxton: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! THE WINNER AND THE NUMBER ONE CONTENDER FOR THE SPECIALIST CHAMPIONSHIP: JAMIEEEEEEEEEEEE CROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: WHAT A SPECTACULAR MATCH WE JUST WITNESSED FOLKS!!! A PURE DISPLAY OF PASSION!! DEDICATION AND DESIRE TO WIN and now Jamie Cross is the next contender to Milli Banks Specialist Championship!
Gavin Kirkland: A valiant effort from both Lexi and Usagi Senshi tonight, both of them giving it all they’ve had, both of them deserving to be number one contenders in their own rights but there can be only one to face Banks next and the honor goes to The Iron Woman! Congratulations!!
( Final shot is of Jamie, standing on the apron just in front the exit as she salutes the crowd a final time she steps away into the backstage area and out of view. )

(The camera pans to Gina Romano to introduce the participants for the next match.)
Gina Romano: EAW UNIVERSE! PLEASE WELCOME AT THIS TIME …. THE GENERAL MANAGER OF SHOWDOWN…. “THE SEXY FLAWLESS DIVA” KENNEDY STREET!
https://64.media.tumblr.com/6c20a8d498bf8e12c484ec9cf66cabf6/38ece2ee184b2487-bc/s540x810/c35aeb18dab1456314f17f7d929f1e0aa23d8ece.gif
(The crowd erupts in boos as “Her” by Megan Thee Stallion starts to play throughout the arena. Kennedy Street walks out, IN HER WRESTLING GEAR, looking sexy as ever as she looks out at the crowd and thanks them for all the wonderful cheers which are actual boos.)
Deadprez: And here comes our General Manager, Kennedy Street in her wrestling gear!?! We don’t know why she is out here, but she definitely has a keen interest in this match.
Eve: Well, let’s be real here, this should have been Kennedy Street taking on Ms. Extreme, but Kennedy somehow found a way to finagle herself out of this and the match everyone wanted to see now becomes a very dangerous situation for Ms. Extreme.
Gavin Kirkland: Impact knows how important this is, he was not going to be left out of the Pain for Pride card and Kennedy knew that. She is one of the smartest and most cunning minds in this business along with being so damn beautiful.
Eve: Suck up.
(Kennedy Street finally makes her way to the ring and steps in, she has a mic in hand as her theme starts to die down. The crowd continues to boo heavily. Kennedy just bows and thanks everyone.)
Kennedy Street: OMG… Nashville! Thank you so much for the warm reception! Kennie always liked Nashville, all you cowboys and cowgirls, the country bumpkins and all. The BBQ too! And we all know you love Kennie!
(The crowd boos even louder. Kennedy though just smiles and looks back out to the crowd. Anyway, this won’t take long. This match tonight between Impact and Ms. Extreme will be contested as an Unsanctioned Match. Look honey, Kennie didn’t want Ms. Extreme any opportunity to sue me or the EAW so now since the EAW has washed its hands clean of this match, they can go out here and give you all a real treat. But Kennie is giving, and we all know that you wanted to see me wrestle. So, tell you what. Kennie came dressed to fight.
(The crowd now starts to cheer.)
Kennedy Street: So, tell you what. After the match with Impact and Ms. Extreme? I will give her FIVE MINUTES with ME, honey!
(The crowd erupts in cheers as Kennedy smirks, she then gives the mic back to Gina Romano before stepping out and sitting at the commentary table with the rest of the Showdown team. Kennedy grabs a headset, sitting down in her emerald green and gold gear.)
Kennedy Street: Kennie is here to join the best broadcast team in the EAW. Hi Gavin.
Gavin Kirkland: OMG! The Kween! I am so happy that our boss is here…. Wait….
(Gavin gets up and hands Kennedy a bottle of water and makes sure that she is comfortable. Kennedy then smiles and winks.)
Eve: Oh brother.
(The camera then pans into the ring with Gina Romano.)
Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS AN UNSANCTIONED MATCH SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL! INTRODUCING FIRST FROM SEATTLE, WASHINGTON! WEIGHING IN AT 221 POUNDS! HE IS THE TEN TIME WORLD CHAMPION….. HERE IS IMPACT!!!!!
(“M3tamorphosis” by Playboi Carti ft. Kid Cudi starts to play throughout the arena as the fans stand to their feet and watch at one of the greatest Elitists in the EAW’s rich history. Impact walks out in a black leather spiked jacket, stretching his arms out as the fireworks erupt. The fans with a huge loud mixed ovation. He turns and starts making his way toward the ring.)
Deadprez: One of the most decorated wrestlers in the entire world! The ten time World Champion and one of the absolute best! He has been unstoppable for two seasons now and he looks to be a World Champion again, but tonight at Pain for Pride, it is not about winning the Answers Wor4ld Championship, now is not his time, instead he looks to destroy Ms. Extreme and continue to Season 17. He said it best in his promos leading to this. For him, this is a Championship match!
Eve: An amazing athlete, the man with the silver tongue! He is the complete package, whether you love or hate him, Impact is an established icon and when you speak of the top echelon in the EQW, his is one of the first names that pop up!
Gavin Kirkland: He is and looks at the determination on his face. He was more than happy to take this match! He looks more than ready!
(Impact finally gets to the ringside, he walks around the ring and fist pumps Kennedy Street.)
Kennedy Street: That is right honey! There is an Elitist that carried Showdown for two season on his back! He is the pinnacle of the very best!
(Impact gets in the ring and stands in the middle, posing yet again as the crowd gives a huge ovation of boos and cheers, fireworks start to go off from the turnbuckle posts as the theme dies down and it is slowly replaced with ‘They Call Me a God’ by NEFFEX as the crowd erupts in cheers.)
Gina Romano: AND HIS OPPONENT! SHE HAILS FROM CALABASAS, CALIFORNIA! WEIGHING IN AT 140 POUNDS! SHE IS “THE PROBLEM CHILD” …… MS. EXTREME!!!!!
(A curtain of fireworks drops down as the cheers continue. Ms. Extreme walks out in all red leather, she paces the entranceway back and forth, before she takes a few deep breaths and suddenly starts to run fast as she can toward the ring.)
Deadprez: AND SHE IS NOT WASTING ANYTIME! MS. EXTREME IS BOOKING IT DOWN THE AISLE READY TO GET INTO THE RING!
Eve: SHE MEANS BUSINESS AND WANTS TO GET THIS FIGHT STARTED!
Kennedy Street: GET SECURITY!
(Ms. Extreme takes off her jacket and slides into the ring as Gina Romano scurries out and Ms. Extreme Lou Thezs Presses Impact. The referee calls for the bell.)
(DING!!!!! DING!!!! DING!!!!)
Deadprez: CAMILLE IS RAINING DOWN LEFTS AND RIGHTS ON IMPACT! SHE IS NOT WASTING ANY TIME AND WANTS TO PUT THIS AWAY QUICKLY! SHE IS NOT WORKING BY THE HOUR!
Eve: Ms. Extreme exploded right off the bat! She was not going to allow anyone to dictate her pace! She is hitting those hard rights and lefts! Impact though is trying to roll out of the ring! He is almost there but she starts kicking him!
Gavin Kirkland: This woman should be thrown in jail! She has assaulted Impact and all he is trying to do is get out of the ring! He does and Camille rolls right after him! She hits a forearm and another, whipping Impact into the steel steps!
Kennedy Street: This is why I made this unsanctioned because she is cray-cray honey and…… OH SH**!!!!
(Camille takes a swing at Kennedy who quickly is able to fly back and dodge it. Ms. Extreme tries to go after Kennedy but…)
Deadprez: IMPACT WITH A RUNNING KNEE WHILE CAMILLE WAS PAYING ATTENTION TO KENNEDY! She is down and Impact is kicking her while she is down! He drives his boot into her neck!
Kennedy Street: BREAK HER NECK HONEY!
Eve: This is a Disney show!
Kennedy Street: KENNIE DOESN’T CARE!
Eve: Impact is driving that foot into her neck, and with an unsanctioned match there are no count outs, no disqualifications, it is everything goes! Impact now picks her up by the hair and slams her face on the ring apron! He is vicious right now, needs to be after the hot start by Camille!
Gavin Kirkland: He throws her back in the ring! Impact follows and waits as Camille gets back up, he hooks her and BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX! Impact plants Camille, running against the ropes, he drops the knee flush on the head of Ms. Extreme! He doesn’t got for the cover though!
Deadprez: He is driving the soul of that boot flush on her face, twisting it with such disdain! Ms. Extreme is in trouble in the early stages of this match and Impact is slowly and methodically waiting as she gets up! He charges in….
Eve: Back elbow by Camille! She stuns Impact as he falls backwards into the ropes, she runs at him… HIGH KNEE right in the chin of Impact as he is on the ropes! She Irish Whips him against the other cables, bouncing back, BACK BODY DROP… NO! Impact falls behind her, he goes for a German Suplex…
Gavin Kirkland: Camille with another stiff elbow and this one caught Impact flush in the face! He staggers and SPRINGBOARD BULLDOG! Impact is planted and look at Ms. Extreme! She is rolling out of the ring, and she is looking for something…. Pulling out a chair as the fans start to cheer. Kennedy… stop this!
Kennedy Street: I Can’t honey! It’s Unsanctioned!
(Camille slides the chair into the ring. She then looks under the ring and finds another chair, she slides it in, then another one, and grabs another and one more, there are five chairs in the ring as Impact is slowly getting back up. She slides in with the last chair in hand.)
Deadprez: There are a bevy of chairs in the ring! I don’t know what Ms. Extreme has planned but I know it isn’t good! She is stacking them up in a Pile! The fans are starting to make some noise as she grabs Impact from behind, wait…. She has Impact!
(CRASH!!!)
Eve: EXPLODER SUPLEX ON THE CHAIRS AND IMPACT JUST CRUMBLED ON THE STEEL! CAMILLE IS NOT DONE! NOW SHE IS GRABBING THE CHAIRS AND THROWING THEM ON IMPACT! SHE HAS A STACK OF CHAIRS LAYING ON HIM AND IS CLIMBING THE ROPES!
Kennedy Street: REFEREE STOP HER! DO YOUR DAMN JOB, HONEY!
(Camille climbs to the top rope, Impact is under five chairs and suddenly…..)
(CRASH!!!!)
Deadprez: CANNONBALL BY CAMILLE AND SHE LANDS RIGHT ON THE BURIED IMPACT! THIS COULD BE OVER RIGHT HERE BUT IT LOOKS LIKE SHE TOOK SOME OF THAT AS WELL! CAMILLE SLOWLY GETTING BACK UP AND PUSHING ALL THE CHAIRS OFF AS SHE GOES FOR THE COVER!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TH….
Eve: IMPACT KICKS OUT! As devastating as that looked, you are going to have to do a lot more to impact than that! Ms. Extreme isn’t surprised, and she mounts Impact! Dropping fists on him left and right, she is not stopping for anything! She wants to take Impact down right in front of Kennedy Street!
Kennedy Street: Eve, honey. Kennie never really liked you, so my suggestion is to get in line, or you can be replaced next season.
Gavin Kirkland: Ha! She told you!
Eve: Shut up, Gavin.
(Impact now has a bloody lip after Camille dropped some fists on him. She grabs Impact and throws him out of the ring where the rampway is. She waits as Impact slowly gets back up, Camille charges and…. )
Deadprez: SUICIDE PLANCHA BY CAMILLE! SHE JUST TOOK OUT IMPACT ON THE RAMPWAY AND LISTEN TO THE CROWD!
Crowd: MS. EXTREME!!!! MS. EXTREME!!!! MS. EXTREME!!!!
Eve: Camille picks up impact and she is hitting him with forearms, but Impact throws a knee up to her midsection! And another one! It stifles Camille for a moment as she falls back against the steel barricade. Impact now starts hitting her with forearms over and over, he grabs Camille up….. DROPPING HER NECK FIRST ON THE BARRICADE! CAMILLE FALLS BACK, TRYING TO BREATH AND IMPACT DOES IT AGAIN! THIS TIME SHE FALLS BACK AND HE PICKS HER UP….. THROWS CAMILLE RIGHT INTO THE LED SCREENS!
(Camille bellows in pain for a moment, she tries to crawl and get herself up but Impact then turns and looks under the ring, he smiles and pulls out….)
Kennedy Street: YES HONEY! YES!
Gavin Kirkland: IMPACT HAS PULLED OUT A CRICKET BAT WRAPPED IN BARBED WIRE! IT IS THICKER, WIDER AND CAN DO SOME DAMAGE!
(Impact holds it up in the air with a smirk on his face. He sees Camille trying to slowly get up, she pushes herself on the LED barricade suddenly….)
(CRACK!!!)
Eve: IMPACT JUST HIT CAMILLE IN THE BACK WITH THE BARBED WIRED CRICKET STICK!
(CRACK!!!)
Eve: HE DOES IT AGAIN AND WE CAN SEE THE BLOOD POURING OUT ALREADY FROM HER BACK!
(CRACK!!!!)
(CRACK!!!!)
(CRACK!!!!)
(CRACK!!!!)
(CRACK!!!!)
Eve: IMPACT IS A MADMAN! HE IS PEPPERING HER BACK AND MAKING IT LOOK LIKE CUBED STEAK! CAMILLE IS REALLY HURT NOW IN THE EARLY GOINGS OF THIS MATCH! THE BLOOD IS STARTING TO SEEP DOWN HER BACK AND IMPACT IS NOW DRIVING THE CRICKET STICK INTO HER FOREHEAD!
(The fans cringe at the sight as blood starts to slowly seep out of Camille’s forehead. She is one with her wrestling gear and has become just one huge crimson mask.)
Kennedy Street: NOW SHE REALLY IS THE RED QUEEN! :mjlol2:
Deadprez: Impact shows why he is one of the most dangerous wrestlers on the damn planet! He has completely ripped Camille apart and she is trying so hard right now to stay with it, but the blood loss could affect her! She is already wobbly legged! Impact grabs Camille and throws her on the ramp! What is he doing!?
(Impact walks over to the corner of the ring, he reaches down and takes what looks to be a bottle of something.)
Kennedy Street: OMG! KENNIE LOVES KARL!
Eve: Wait a second….. IS THAT WHAT I THINK IT IS!!?!?
Gavin Kirkland: YES! HOW PORPER TOO! HE HAS A BOTTLE OF TENNESSEE WHISKEY IN HIS HANDS!
(Impact smirks as the crowd boos, he twists the bottle cap open and takes a swig before walking over to Camille who is on her fours trying to get up and….)
Deadprez: HE JUST POURED THE WHISKEY ON HER BACK! THE PAIN CAMILLE IS FEELING RIGHT NOW AS SHE SCREAMS IN AGONY! THAT ALCOHOL HITTING ALL THOSE CUTS MUST BURN! AND LOOK AT IMPACT! HE DOESN’T CARE! HE IS HAVING THE TIME OF HIS LIFE! POURING THE REST OF THAT WHISKEY ON HER!
Kennedy Street: At least her cuts won’t get infected, honey.
Crowd: HOLY SH**!!!! HOLY SH**!!!! HOLY SH**!!!!
(There is just a little left, he takes the last sip and then spits it at Camille before dropping the bottle. Impact picks her up and throws Camille into the ring.)
Kennedy Street: YES! END THIS NOW HONEY! IMPACT WITH THE PIN!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THRE-
Eve: CAMILLE JANE AVA KICKS OUT! SHE KICKS OUT! IMPACT LOOKS A LITTLE SHOCKED! HE STARTS PUNCHING CAMILLE ON THE FOREHEAD OVER AND OVER AS SHE STARTS TO BLEED EVEN MORE! IMPACT PICKS HER UP AND THROWS CAMILLE INTO THE TURNBUCKLE. HE CHARGES IN….
Gavin Kirkland: CAMILLE GETS HER BOOT UP! IMPACT HIT IS FLUSH IN HIS FACE! IMPACT STAGGERS BACK AND CAMILLE HITS THE TWIST OF FATE! THE CROWD COMES ALIVE AND CHEERS! CAMILLE CAN BARELY STAND! BUT SHE IS ABLE TO MUSTER THE POWER! I HATE HER KENNEDY!
Kennedy Street: That is why you are the best announcer for Showdown, Gavin.
Gavin Kirkland: :blessed:
Eve: ANYWAYS…. Camille has once again taken control, she sees that Impact is slowly getting back up, she musters all her energy, running against the ropes, HURRICARANA ON IMPACT! HE FLIES INTO THE ROPES AND SHE GRABS A CHAIR…. RUNS AT IMPACT…..
(CRACK!!!)
Eve: SHE JUST TIGER FEINT KICKED IMPACT WITH THE CHAIR AND HE FALLS BACK! CAMILLE IS LOOKING RIGHT AT KENNEDY WHO STANDS UP.
Kennedy Street: WRESTLE YOUR MATCH! THAT IS YOUR OPPONENT, NOT ME!
(Camille stares at her a little more before finally taking a deep breath and picking up the chair…. She breaks one of the supports off the leg and glares at Impact as the fans break out in cheers.)
Deadprez: Wait a second dawg…. Wait a second…… MS EXTREME IS LOCKING IN THE AVA LOCK! SHE HAS THE STEEL SUPPORT FROM THE CHAIR AND SHE WEDGES IT INTO IMPACT’S MOUTH! OH, THIS IS OVER QUICKLY! A BLOODY CAMILLE WRENCHES BACK AND SHE HAS IMPACT LOCKED!
Kennedy Street: NO! NO! Get out of there, honey! Get out of there!
Eve: CAMILLE HAS THE AVA LOCK ON…. WAIT! SHE HASN’T HOOKED IMPACT’S ARM! SHE HAS THE STEEL IN HIS MOUTH, PULLING BACK BUT THE HOLD IS NOT COMPLETELY LOCKED! WAIT…. IMPACT IS ABLE TO RAKE HER EYES!
(Camille has to break the hold as she holds her eyes, rolling off. Impact slowly tries to get up from the help of the ropes, he spits out blood because of the steel bar.)
Deadprez: Camille had to break the hold! She didn’t have Impact completely locked in and now she looks to regroup! Impact though is back up and he grabs Camille who…. Pokes him in the eye! Impact is blinded and she grabs him…. BELLY TO BACK SUPLEX! IMPACT IS DOWN AND CAMILLE GRABS BOTH OF HIS ARMS AND CURB STOMPS IMPACT ON THE MAT! SHE DOESN’T GO FOR THE COVER! THAT COULD BE A MISTAKE!
Gavin Kirkland: It really can be! She is not too bright and rolling out of the ring, what is she doing?
(Ms. Extreme looks at the empty bottle of whiskey, cracking a bloody smile and pointing at it as the fans cheer in unison. She then walks over and grabs the bottle, holding it up before walking over to the steel post.)
(SMASH!!!)
Gavin Kirkland: OH, COME ON! NOT LIKE THIS! SHE JUST SMASHED THAT BOTTLE AND LOOK AT THE SHARP ENDS OF THE BOTTLE!
Kennedy Street: DISQUALIFY HER NOW REF!
Eve: It’s unsanctioned.
Kennedy Street: OH, SHUT UP!
Eve: I’m just saying…. And Camille rolls back in the ring! Impact is already back up and he charges her…. CAMILLE HITS HIM WITH THE BOTTLE! SHE STARTS TO DRIVE THE BROKEN BOTTLE INTO HIS FOREHEAD AS HE SCREAMS! THE BLOOD STARTS RUSHING DOWN ASS HE IS GRINDING THIS DEEPER AND DEEPER!
Kennedy Street: I cannot watch this!
Deadprez: CAMILLE CONTINUES TO GRIND AT THE HEAD OF IMPACT AND SHE ISN’T STOPPING UNTIL SHE SEES HIS SKULL!
(She stops and rolls off, catching her breath as Impact slowly gets up and his face is a crimson mask, covered in blood that you can barely see his expressions. The crowd looks on in shock and awe.)
Crowd: THIS IS AWESOME!!!!! THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!! THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: THIS IS ABSOLUTE CARNAGE! COMPLETE CARNAGE! BOTHG ARE BLEEDING LIKE STUCK PIGS HERE! CAMILLE RIGHT NOW STILL HAS THE ADVANTAGE, BUT IMPACT IS ON HIS FEET! SHE CHARGES IN…. NO! THE ABSOLUTION! THE MICHINOKU DRIVER PLANTED CAMILLE! THIS MIGHT BE OVER!

THRE…..
Gavin Kirkland: SHE KICKS OUT! IMPACT IS FURIOUS AND LOOK AT HIM! HE IS NOW GRABBING THE SIDES OF HER HAIR AND BASHING THE BACK OF CAMILLE’S HEAD INTO THE MATS OVER AND OVER AGAIN! MS. EXTREME IS GOING LIMP! SHE IS DONE FOR! IMPACT DOESN’T GO FOR THE COVER THOUGH! HE GRABS HER UP BY THE HAIR, SHE IS LIMP! FINISH HER!
Kennedy Street: YES, HONEY! EXACTLY! FINISH HER! END THIS NONSENSE NOW! WE ARE DONE PLAYING AROUND KARL! END HER!
(But Impact has other sinister plans, he drags Camille out of the ring, as she falls with a dud to the mats. Impact slowly picks her up…..)
Eve: MS. EXTREME FIGHTS BACK! SHE THROWS A HAYMAKER! AND ANOTHER ONE THAT STIFLES IMPACT! HE IS AT THE EDGE OF THE RAMP WAY AND CAMILLE RUNS AND CLOTHESLINES HIM DOWN! SHE MOUNTS ON TOP OF IMPACT! ONCE AGAIN LAYING WASTE TO IMPACT! SHE IS RAINING DOWN FISTS OVER AND OVER ON IMPACT IN THIS BRUTAL ASSAULT BUT HE PUSHES HER OFF!
(Impact gets up and starts making his way up the long LED ramp, Camille slowly gets back up and gives chase as Kennedy Street stands up to watch. )
Deadprez: These two are taking this match everywhere! Making their way up the LED ramp and looking at Camille! She charges in and…. TURNING TIDES ON THE LED RAMP! THIS TIME IMPACT WITH A BEAUTIFUL HURRICARANA THAT PLANTED CAMILLE HEADFIRST INTO THE HARD SURFACE OF THE RAMP AND THEY ARE BOTH LYING THERE! LISTEN TO THIS PLACE!
Crowd: FIGHT FOREVER!!!!!!! FIGHT FOREVER!!!!!!! FIGHT FOREVER!!!!!!!!
(Impact and Camille are both down halfway up the LED ramp. But Impact is the first to get up. Slowly crawling up the ramp as Camille begins to stir as well.)
Gavin Kirkland: Both of them are up to their feet! Impact is going up the ramp and Camille, who is barely able to walk, is right behind him! Impact has made it to the main stage! Camille is closing in, but she falls back down! Impact is walking up to her! He starts dragging her by the hair up the ramp! Slowly picking her up to her feet. Wait….. IMPACT SWEEPS HER LEGS UP!
Kennedy Street: WALLS OF IMPACT ON THE CENTER STAGE! YES HONEY! BREAK HER BACK! BREAK HER BACK!
(The crowd lets out a huge gasp as Camille screams in pain! Impact drops the knee down on the shoulder blades and wrenches back. Camille wont tap out, but it doesn’t matter she cannot lose the match here, the fall has to happen in the ring. )
Eve: THE MATCH CANNOT END HERE! IT HAS TO BE IN THE RING!
Kennedy Street: THEN I CHANGE THE RULES!
Eve: You can’t do that, it’s an unsanctioned match!
Kennedy Street: Don’t tell me what I can or cannot do!
(As they are bickering, Impact just adds more pressure to the hold, leaning back even more threatening to injure or even break her neck and back. The referee can do nothing about it…. But Ms. Extreme screams and plants her hands on the surface, slowly trying to push up.)
Deadprez: Look at the underrated strength of Ms. Extreme! She is using all of her power to try and get back up! Impact is trying to keep his ground, but he too has lost a lot of blood! Can Ms. Extreme power out! Can and will she be able to get out of this one! She continues to push upwards and pressing hard!
Crowd: MS. EXTREME!!!!! MS. EXTREME!!!!! MS. EXTREME!!!!!
Eve: The drive and the passion! Impact has been on another level here tonight but so has Ms. Extreme! Living up to her moniker, she is trying to power out and look! SHE IS LIFTING HERSELF UP! SHE IS PUSHING UPWARDS AND FORWARD! SHE…. SHE…. SHE…
Gavin Kirkland: …. SHE BREAKS THE HOLD! DAMN IT! IMPACT IS IN ABSOLUTE SHOCK! He grabs Camille by the hair and lifts her up…. LOW BLOW BY CAMILLE! WHAT A DIRTY BITCH!
Kennedy Street: SHE CAN’T DO THAT!
Eve: She can, and she did! Impact was just hit in the groin, and he has frozen in place! Camille is back to her feet, and she hits THE CODE RED ON THE LED STAGE! SHE CAN’T PIN IMPACT BUT IT DID THE DAMAGE! CAMILLE IS UP AND SHE IS LOOKING AT THE EDGE OF THE STAGE…. WAIT…. NO! THAT IS LIKE A 20 FOOT DROP! IF SHE DOES THIS TO HIM, SHE COULD END UP KILLING IMPACT!
(Ms. Extreme gets a very sinister look on her face, she points to the end of the stage as the crowd erupts in cheers. Ms. Extreme knows a thing or two about falling off high edges and she doesn’t mind seeing someone else take the plunge.)
Deadprez: They are moving closer to that edge. She is pulling and dragging Impact and…. IMPACT IS ABLE TO YANK MS. EXTREME IN AND BELLY TO BACK SUPLEX HER! BUT… NO! CAMILLE LANDS ON HER FEET! IMPACT TURNS AROUND…. SUPER KICK!
(Impact teeters on the ledge)
Eve: HE IS ABOUT TO FALL! MS. EXTREME WITH ANOTHER SUPER KICK! NO!!! HE CATCHES HER FOOT AND SPINS HER AROUND, THE HAIL MARY!!!!! HE JUST HIT THE HAIL MARY! THE FULL NELSON FACEBUSTER ON THE LED SCREEN AND MS. EXTREME LOOKS UNCONSCIOUS! WHAT IS IMPACT DOING….
Deadprez: OH NO! HE DRAGS CAMILLE TO THE EDGE AND…. AND….. HE THROWS HER OFF!!!!!
Crowd: HOLY SH**!!!!! HOLY SH**!!!!!! HOLY SH**!!!!!!
Eve: :damn:
Deadprez: :damn:
Gavin Kirkland: :damn:
Kennedy Street: :mjlol2:
(The crowd is silent as they have just witnessed a murder…..)
(… Or did they?)
Deadprez: WAIT….. LOOK! MS. EXTREME HUNG ON TO THE EDGE AND IMPACT DOESN’T EVEN KNOW IT YET! CAMILLE NEVER FELL OFF! SHE IS STILL HANGING ON!
Crowd: THIS IS AWESOME!!!!! THIS IS AWESOME!!!!! THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!
Eve: CAMILLE IS TRYING TO PUSH HERSELF BACK UP ON THE STAGE! IMPACT IS ON HIS FOURS, BACK TO HER AS CAMILLE IS ABLE TO GET BACK ON THE LEDGE!
(The crowd cheers as Impact slowly is up, he turns and….)
Deadprez: HOLY GROUND!!!! CAMILLE JUST HIT THE DOUBLE FOOT STOMP ON IMPACT AND HE IS DOWN! AGAIN, NO PINFALLS UP ON THAT RAMP BUT IT DOESN’T MATTER! THE DAMAGE IS DONE! IMPACT IS DOWN AND CAMILLE SCREAMS!
(The crowd erupts as Camille looks out at the large stadium. The crowd cheering her on as she slowly picks up Impact and starts to drag him back to the ring, but he is almost dead weight.)
Gavin Kirkland: CAMILLE SAID SCREW IT! SHE IS BEATING DOWN ON IMPACT NOW AGAIN AND SHE IS LOOKING AROUND… WAIT….. OH, COME ON!
(Camille looks over at the set of tubes on each side of the stage, she then smiles and picks up Impact, dragging him to one of the tube openings….)
Kennedy Street: WHAT THE HELL IS SHE DOING!?
Deadprez: SHE IS DRAGGING IMPACT TO THE OPENING OF ONE OF THE FIREWORKS SHELLS THAT BLOW OUT THE PYRO DURING THE ENTRANCES! FIRST OFF THOSE ARE PIPING HOT AND SO DANGEROUS!
Eve: CAMILLE WANTS TO END THIS RIGHT NOW! SHE ISN’T PLAYING AROUND ANYMORE! CAMILLE IS STARTING TO SHOVE IMPACTS HEAD DOWN THAT TUBE! SHE HAS HIM BY THE WASTE AND HE IS TRYING TO FIGHT BACK! CAMILLE THOUGH IS NOT WAVERING! SHE IS LOOKING TO SHOVE HIM DOWN THERE AND THEN BLOW HIM UP IN THE SKY!
Gavin Kirkland: THAT IS MURDER! YOU CANNOT DO THAT HERE! WELL… MAYBE YOU CAN BUT COME ON!
(Kennedy Street is seen on her phone sending a text.)
Deadprez: CAMILLE IS NOT PLAYING AROUND! SHE HAS IMPACT ALMOST DOWN TO HIS SHOULDERS THERE! SHE IS STILL TRYING TO PUSH HIM IN! BUT…. BUT…. IMPACT IS TOO STRONG! HE IS FIGHTING BACK! GETTING HIS HANDS ON THE EDGES, IMPACT IS ABLE TO PUSH OFF!
Gavin Kirkland: HIS HEAD IS OUT! BACK ELBOW ON CAMILLE! SHE STAGGERS BACK SOME AND IMPACT CHARGES, NO! SHE DUCKS AND HE TURNS AROUND, FLYING SPINNING HEEL KICK! NO! HE DUCKS AND SHE FALLS HARD ON THE LED FLOOR! IMPACT PICKS HER BACK UP AND OVER HIS SHOULDERS! HE NOW LAUNCHES HER INTO THE TUBE!
(The crowd shrieks as Ms. Extreme falls headfirst into the tube. She though quickly tries to push out and Impact is right there behind her pushing the back of her head in. )
Eve: WE KNOW THAT THE FIREWORKS WILL NOT GO OFF! BUT THIS IS STILL A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND…..
(BOOM!!!!!!!!)
Deadprez: SHUCKY DUCKY QUACK QUAAAAACCCKKKKK! THE FIREWORKS WENT OFF ON MS. EXTREME AND IMPACT!
(A fountain of sparkling lights and fireworks rained up the tube as it caught both Camille and Impact as they were right over the tubing. The crowd is in complete shock as no one knows how that happened.)
Eve: THE FOUNTAIN OF FIREWORKS BLEW UP IN THEIR FACES AND IT GOT MS. EXTREME MORE THAN IMPACT! SHE HAS SMOKE COMING OUT OF HER NOSTRILS! SOME OF HER HAIR WAS BURNED! HOW DID THIS HAPPEN!?
(There is some commotion in the back where the fireworks control board is set up, security are trying to grab a man that was there controlling it.)
Deadprez: WE ARE GETTING WORD THAT SOMEONE BACK THERE PURPOSELY SET THEM OFF WHEN CAMILLE WAS OVER THE TUBING!
Eve: HOW CAN THIS BE!?
(The footage then shows security trying to apprehend Drake Armstrong who is fighting them off, everyone turns to Kennedy who had put her phone away.)
Kennedy Street: What? What a travesty, right? I hope they are okay, honey.
(The referee is in shock, he doesn’t know what to do but Impact didn’t take the brunt of it, instead he took some burns on his shoulder and neck, he is spaghetti legged but grabs Camille and hoists her on his shoulders, barely able to stand himself.)
Gavin Kirkland: IMPACT WAS ABLE TO MUSCLE CAMILLE UP! HE IS WALKING DOWN THE RAMPWAY BACK TO THE RING, LOOKING LIKE HE IS READY TO FINISH THIS MESS ONCE AND FOR ALL!
Kennedy Street: Good! End this!
Deadprez: IMPACT SLOWLY GETS TO THE RING APRON AND DUMPS CAMILLE INSIDE! HE GETS BACK IN THE RING AND SHE IS DOWN AND HURT, WE NEED MEDICAL ATTENTION HERE!
Kennedy Street: No… she is fine.
Deadprez: Impact gets Ms. Extreme on her feet….. EVISCERATION!!!! HE JUST HIT EVISCERATION AND THIS ONE IS OVER!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
……
……
Kennedy Street: HOW IN THE HELL DID SHE KICK OUT!!?!?!
(The fans get to their feet and scream as Ms. Extreme kicks out of a finisher that has ended many matches. Impact looks absolutely shocked and floored. He cannot believe that Ms. Extreme kicked out.)\
Eve: THERE IS STILL LIFE IN MS. EXTREME! SHE IS STILL IN THIS! AND IMPACT IS BESIDE HIMSELF! HE IS BACK UP AND PULLS HER BY THE HAIR, WHIPPING CAMILLE INTO THE TURNBUCKLE, HE CHARGES IN….. BIG BOOT BY CAMILLE! IMPACT STAGGERS BACK….
Deadprez: HOLY GROUND!!!!! SHE JUST CAVED IMPACT’S CHEST IN AND CAMILLE IS ABLE TO FALL ON TOP OF IMPACT! THIS IS IT!!!!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
…..
…..
……
Kennedy Street: YES HONEY! IMPACT GETS THE SHOULDER UP!
Deadprez: THE CROWD CANNOT BELIEVE IT! WE CANNOT BELIEVE IT! WE THOUGHT THAT WAS IT FOR IMPACT WITH THE HOLY GROUND THIS TIME IN THE RING! WHAT ELSE DOES THIS WOMAN HAVE TO DO TO PUT IMPACT AWAY ONCE AND FOR ALL!
Crowd: THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!! THIS IS AWESOME!!!!! THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!!
Eve: Nashville is letting it know how it is! Camille though is hurt, she is bleeding, burned and bloodied, she has been completely wasted physically and is still in this match to the bitter end! She is on her knees, sees that Impact too is getting back to his knees!
(Both competitors stare at their bloody, burned selves….. Camille strikes first…..)
Gavin Kirkland: RIGHT HAND BY CAMILLE! IMPACT ANSWERS BACK QUICKLY! ANOTHER RIGHT HAND BY CAMILLE AND IMPACT GIVES BACK ONE!
Crowd: YES!!!! NO!!!! YES!!!! NO!!!! YES!!!! NO!!!!!!
(The crowd following the punches, yes for Camille and no for Impact. The two competitors finally slouch down in front of themselves, their foreheads touching…..)
Deadprez: HEADBUTT BY IMPACT! ANOTHER HEADBUTT! AND ANOTHER! HEADBUTT AFTER HEADBUTT! THEY ARE NOW TRADING HEADBUTTS AND OPENING UP THEIR CUTS MORE! THIS IS JUST PLAIN BRUTAL NOW!
(They finally both collapse. Kennedy looks on and goes to take her headset off.)
Kennedy Street: I have had enough of this!
Eve: Where are you going!?
(Kennedy Street stands up and throws her headset down on the counter, she goes into her entrance jacket and takes out a very heavy chain, she slides in and goes to give it to Impact……)
Deadprez: CAMILLE STOOD RIGHT UP AND STOMPED ON KENNEDY’S ARM! SHE SAW WHAT THE GENERAL MANAGER WAS TRYING TO DO AND SHE PICKS UP THE CHAIN. KENNEDY IS LOOKING ON IN HORROR AS CAMILLE DRAGS KENNEDY UP……
Eve: SHE WRAPS THE CHAIN AROUND KENNEDY’S NECK! CAMILLE IS CHOKING THE GENERAL MANAGER OF SHOWDOWN WITH ABSOLUTELY NO REMORSE!
Gavin Kirkland: LEAVE HER ALONE! SHE HASN’T DONE ANYTHING TO YOU! STOP! SHE IS STRANGLING THE LIFE OUT OF KENNEDY! THROWING HER OVER THE TOP ROPE…… SHE HAS HER HUNG! SOMEBODY STOP THIS!
(Kennedy’s legs are flailing everywhere as she tries to9 scream, her face is turning purple as Camille is so preoccupied with Kennedy she doesn’t see Impact getting back up and reaching into his tights.)
Deadprez: CAMILLE’S HATRED HAS BLINDED HER! SHE HAS STOPPED PAYING ATTENTION TO IMPACT AND HAS CONCENTRATED ONLY ON KENNEDY! IMPACT IS DOING SOMETHING! HE IS GOING INTO HIS TIGHTS!
Eve: CAMILLE TURN AROUND!
(But Camille is focused on strangling Kennedy Street for all she has done that the General Manager starts going limp when Impact grabs her from behind….)
Eve: IMPACT SPINS CAMILLE AROUND FORCING HER TO LET GO OF KENNEDY! SHE FALLS TO THE FLOOR, THE CHAIN STILL HANGING ON THE TOP ROPE AND…..
(Impact starts hitting Ms. Extreme hard with some object in his hand that causes more blood from Camille to come pouring out.)
Deadprez: IMPACT HAS AN ORIENTAL SPIKE! HE IS BASHING HER HEAD IN WITH AN ORIENTAL SPIKE! A WEAPON USED IN THE OLD JAPANESE WRESTLING DAYS TO INFLICT PAIN ON OTHERS!
Gavin Kirkland: SHE IS ALMOST OUT OF IT! AND HE LOCKS IN…. EYES WIDE SHUT! THE TRIANGLE CHOKE! SHE FALLS TO HER KNEES AND IMPACT IS GOING TO MAKE HER PASS OUT! MS. EXTREME IS DONE! THIS IS OVER! SHE IS FADING!
(Camille continues to fade but suddenly bleeding and all, she pushes herself back up with every single bit of strength that she has left.)
Eve: CAMILLE IS FIGHTING AND SHE HAS IMPACT PINNED!!!!!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: IMPACT LET GO OF THE HOLD AT THE VERY LAST SECOND! HE THWARTED THE PINFALL BUT MS. EXTREME IS DONE! SHE HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING LEFT! IMPACT HAS HER UP NOW, HE KNOWS THIS IS THE END AND….. EVISCERATION!!!!!
Deadprez: NO CAMILLE COUNTERED IT! SHE LOCKS IN RED HANDED! SHE LOCKS IN RED HANDED AND IMPACT IS SCREAMING IN PAIN! HE MIGHT SUBMIT RIGHT HERE! SHE HAS HIM ON THE MAT AND GOES TO LOCK IN THE OCTOPUS PART OF THE HOLD……
Eve: IMPACT WAS ABLE TO GRAB THE ROPES AND PULL HIMSELF TO THE RINGSIDE AREA! CAMILLE THOUGH IS NOT BREAKING THE HOLD! SHE HAS IT LOCKED IN AND….. WAIT….
Gavin Kirkland: KENNEDY STREET JUST SPIT ON CAMILLE! SHE JUST SPIT ON MS. EXTREME AND CAMILLE HAS GONE BANANAS! SHE LET’S GO OF IMPACT EVEN THOUGH IS HE WAS IN THE ROPES AND CAMILLE IS GIVING CHASE! KENNEDY SLIDES IN THE RING AND CAMILLE IS ABLE TO GRAB HER BY THE ANKLES! SHE PULLS HER OUT AND THROWS KENNEDY AGAINST THE RAILING!
Eve: CAMILLE IS ALLOWING KENNEDY TO TAKE HER EYES OFF IMPACT! HE IS BACK UP AND ON ONE KNEE! CAMILLE SEES THIS AND SHE SLIDES INTO THE RING, CHARGES IMPACT…..
Gavin Kirkland: HOLY GROUND!!!!!!
Deadprez: NOOOOOO! FIST OF FURY! IMPACT JUST NAILED CAMILLE WITH THE FIST OF FURY AND SHE IS WOBBLY! LOOK! HE HAS HAD THE CHAIN WRAPPED AROUND HIS HAND FROM EARLIER!
(Camille barely able to stand, bleeding and burned, Impact screams and……)
Deadprez: FIST OF FURY AGAIN WITH THE CHAIN AND MS. EXTREME FALLS TO THE MATS! IMPACT DROPS ON HER FOR THE COVER!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(DING!!!! DING!!!! DING!!!!)
Gina Romano: HERE IS YOUR WINNER….. IMPACT!!!!!
(“M3tamorphosis” by Playboi Carti ft. Kid Cudi starts to play throughout the arena as the fans stand to their feet booing as the bloody Impact finally rolls off Ms. Extreme. The chain falls from his hand as Kennedy Street is seen standing, leaning against the barricade grimacing, but there clapping at the huge win by Impact and rolls into the ring to assist.)
Deadprez: THIS WAS A BLOODY AND BRUTAL MATCH! No wonder it was Unsanctioned and in the end I really think Impact was just able to deliver the final blow before Ms. Extreme did. They both fought to the end but for Impact, one of the best survives again!
Eve: This match had everything, violence, brutality, all of it! It exceeded expectations and Ms. Extreme showed why she has the name, but Impact was able to get the win and nothing to be ashamed of.
Gavin Kirkland: Ms. Extreme is cooked and look…. Kennedy has the mic!
(Impact is up to his feet, his arms are raised as he is barely able to stand but holds on to the ropes, he looks out at the crowd and smiles, blood splattered all over his face and Impact soaks the reaction in. He hops off and starts making his way to the back with his arms raised, his music continues to play while Impact continues to make his way to the back. Ms. Extreme though is still down, barely moving as Kennedy takes off her jacket and squats down.)
Kennedy Street: Cut the music.
(The music slowly fades as Impact has already disappeared through the side and the back being assisted by personnel.)
Kennedy Street: Too bad, so sad. This is OVER.
(The crowd boos loudly.)
Kennedy Street When Kennie says it is over.
(She looks out at the crowd and smirks, letting her hair down and looking at Camille, a bloody mess.)
Kennedy Street: Kennie was serious about the five minutes wrestling me. So, now that you don’t look too good honey, maybe we should not do this, huh?
(She pauses for a moment and smiles.)
Kennedy Street: Nah… let’s do it. Referee…. RING THE BELL! AND MAKE THIS MATCH OFFICIAL!
(The referee talks to Gina Romano for a second and she nods.)
Gina Romano: BY THE POWER OF THE SHOWDOWN GENERAL MANAGER! THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!
Gina Romano: IT HAS A FIVE MINUTE TIME LIMIT! ALREADY IN THE RING….. MS. EXTREME! AND HER OPPONENT! FROM BEVERLY HILLS, CA.! WEIGHING IN AT 118 POUNDS…. THE GENERAL MANAGER OF SHOWDOWN AND THE SEXY FLAWLESS DIVA….. KENNEDY STREET!!!!
(The referee looks shocked that Kennedy Street, already in her wrestling gear, is calling for the five minutes. She glares at him, and he then calls for the bell.)
(DING!!!!!! DING!!!!!!! DING!!!!!!!!)
Deadprez: Wait…. This match official!? Kennedy Street taking on Ms. Extreme!?
Eve: It is happening!
Gavin Kirkland: WE GET TO SEE THE SEXY FLAWLESS DIVA WRESTLE! :blessed:
(Kennedy picks up Camille who is almost lifeless, she hasn’t moved since impact knocked her out. Kennedy locks in the back face lock…..)
Gavin Kirkland: THE SILVER SPOON! KENNEDY STREET JUST HIT HER SPINNING KNEEL FACEBUSTER AND THIS MATCH IS OVER!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Eve: KENNEDY IS SCREAMING RIGHT NOW BECAUSE SOMEHOW CAMILLE GOT5 HER SHOULDER UP! YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME! KENNEDY’S EYES ARE WIDENED AND SHE ISN’T WASTING ANYTIME! SHE PICKS HER UP! WAIT….. SHE IS GOING TO DO THE FINISHER THAT MADE HER FAMOUS… A TOUCH OF CLASS! THE JUMPING REVERSE SUPERKICK!
Deadprez: CAMILLE HAS NO IDEA WHERE SHE IS! SHE HAS LOST A LOT OF BLOOD BUT SOMEHOW IS STILL CONSCIOUS! SHE IS PRONE….. AND KENNEDY HITS A TOUCH OF CLASS!!!!!
Eve: NO!!!!! CAMILLE DROPPED DOWN! KENNEDY MISSED AND SHE TURNS INTO THE TWIST OF FATE! KENNEDY GOES DOWN BUT CAMILLE CAN MOVE BARELY! SHE IS ABSOLUTELY DEAD….. WAIT A SECOND…. WAIT A SECOND….
(The crowd starts to boo heavily as Drake Armstrong comes sprinting down the ramp. The crowd stands up and lets him hear it as he slides in…..)
Deadprez: DRAKE ARMSTRONG SPEARS CAMILLE! SHE IS DOWN AGAIN AND THIS TIME HE HELPS UP KENNEDY WHO NODS. SHE AND DRAKE LIFT HER UP ON THE TURNBUCKLE!
Kennedy Street (Off Mic) Get the table honey.
(Drake King nods and slides out of the ring, looking under as the crowd erupts seeing him pulling out the table. He lifts it up and slides it in, setting it up as Kennedy instructs him to put her through it.)
Eve: KENNEDY HOLDS THE TABLE AS DRAKE IS READY TO SUPERPLEX HER ON THERE…. WAIT…. DRAKE IS HAVING A HARD TIME TRYING TO LIFT HER UP AND CAMILLE UPPERCUTS DRAKE …… WITH THE CHAIN! SHE SOMEHOW WAS ABLE TO GRAB THE CHAIN AND DRAKE IS WOBBLY ON THE ROPES….. CAMILLE IS UP….
(CRASH!!!!)
Deadprez: CAMILLE JUST SENT DRAKE ARMSTRONG THROUGH THE TABLE! HE CRASHED AND BURNED! KENNEDY IS IN SHOCK AND SHE QUICKLY RUNS UP THE ROPES….. GODIVA’S KISS!!!! THE TOP SCISSOR TAKE DOWN AND CAMILLE CRASHES ON DRAKE ARMSTRONG AND THE RUBBLE OF THAT TABLE!
(Kennedy plants her foot, she is ready to kick Camille’s head off as she gets up…..)
Eve: A TOUCH OF CLASS!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: OH, GOD NO!!!! CAMILLE CAUGHT KENNEDY’S LEG AND APPLIED THE BAD BLOOD! THE STRETCH MUFFLER AND KENNEDY IS SCREAMING! LOOK AT CAMILLE!
(She starts bashing the chain in Kennedy’s knee while locked in and Kennedy is whaling around trying to find anything to grab on to…..)
Deadprez: KENNEDY CAN’T TAKE MUCH MORE OF THIS! SHE…. SHE…….
(TAP!!!!! TAP!!!!! TAP!!!!!!)
Eve: SHE TAPS OUT! KENNEDY TAPS OUT!
(DING!!!!!!!!!!!! DING!!!!!!!!!!!! DING!!!!!!!!!!!)
(‘They Call Me a God’ by NEFFEX starts to play as the crowd erupts in cheers. Camille continues to keep the hold on Kennedy until she finally collapses and falls to the mats. Kennedy, holding her knee screaming, rolls out of the ring where Drake is still recovering.)
Deadprez: SHE MAY HAVE LOST THE BATTLE HERE TONIGHT, BUT MS. EXTREME WON THE WAR AGAINST KENNEDY STREET! SHE THOUGHT THAT SHE HAD CAMILLE BUT HER RESILIENCY AT THE END REALLY PAID OFF!
Eve: IT HAS BEEN A HARD AND ARDUOUS JOURNEY BUT EVEN IN A LOSS, MS. EXTREME WAS ABLE TO EXACT SOME REVENGE AND NOW SHE CAN FINISH THE SEASON ON A HIGH NOTE EVEN THOUGH SHE WAS BEATEN BY IMPACT EARLIER, SHE GOT WHAT SHE WANTED! SOME MUCH NEEDED REVENGE!
Gavin Kirkland: This is absolutely terrible!
(Drake Armstrong wobbly himself carries Kennedy in his arms as she is crying in pain. This brings a smile to Camille as medical staff and personnel check on her while she watches Kennedy with tears in her eyes.)
Deadprez: This must feel damn good! We saw wars here tonight at Pain For Pride! We’ll be right back!
(The final shot is a bloody, burned Ms. Extreme smiling while leaning on the ropes looking on while Drake Armstrong disappears in the back with the Showdown General Manager.)
(As Pain for Pride transitions away from the in-ring, we are taken backstage to the office of Dynasty’s General Manager, Tyrone Montgomery. He’s gathering up the papers on his desk, getting the area neat and tidy. Once he’s done, he goes by the counter where the electrical tea kettle goes off. He pours hot water into two cups and rests them on the desk.)
(**KNOCK**! **KNOCK**!)
Tyrone Montgomery: Oh, right on time. I’m coming!
(He looks down at his watch and grins. He double-checks the rook to make sure everything is in order. Once he’s confident, he walks to the door. The knob turns. He opens the door, raising his arm towards the spare chair in front of his desk.)
Tyrone Montgomery: Welcome! It’s been some time since we had a face-to-face conversation, hasn’t it?
(Outside is John Conning, EAW’s minority owner. Donning apresrime blue-and-gray suit, he adjusts himself before offering a warm smile.)
John Conning: It has. Still, with how well you’ve been handling the ship on Dynasty, I’m glad I didn’t need to step in all that much.
Tyrone Montgomery: Just doing my best, is all, sir.
John Conning: Well, it has been noted and appreciated.
(He steps in and makes himself comfortable in the chair. Tyrone heads back over to the counter where he picks up a packet of coffee, a small carton of creamer, and a bag of lemon tea. He fixes the tea for John while he gets together his usual fixings for his caffeinated drink. John can’t help but chuckle as he takes note.)
John Conning: Coffee? At a time like this?
Tyrone Montgomery: It’s Pain for Pride weekend. I have to make sure I can handle the energy of this monumental event.
(The two men share a laugh.)
John Conning: I guess I can’t blame you. The fans get to enjoy the spectacle while everyone is still hard at work, prepping for the Draft Show and the next FPV. Time doesn’t slow down for us.
Tyrone Montgomery: No sir, it does not.
(Tyrone takes a hasty sip of his drink and sits down, right across from John.)
Tyrone Montgomery: But yes, you said you needed to discuss something with me in that email you sent. I hope that everything has been okay.
John Conning: Oh, yes, everything has been splendid. I just wanted to touch base with you on a couple of things, especially regarding this Disney partnership. Of course, being able to extend the deal for another year has been monumental for both sides. We get backing from one of the biggest corporations in the world, securing some exclusive deals, while Disney has been able to tap into a market that was once unthinkable for them, but has proven to be a fruitful endeavor. There was some initial hesitancy, but fortunately, we’ve been able to prove ourselves to Disney, and because of that, we’ve been able to loosen up some precious strings that were attached to us. There’s no doubt that with us going back to our old style, things will get even bigger for us here on out.
(John raises his glass, bearing a smile.)
John Conning: The newfound leniency has been wonderful. However, when we talk about that, we aren’t only discussing allowing more hardcore and extreme matches again. We’re also talking about changes that can be made from within the promotion, behind the scenes and all.
(Tyrone’s eyes widen a little. John, meanwhile, sips his tea.)
Tyrone Montgomery: Is that right?
(He chuckles, but it gets shaky towards the end. John picks up on it and speaks up.)
John Conning: Yes. However, you don’t need to be so jumpy. I already said that you’ve done a good job in your position as General Manager. Granted, it wasn’t a popular decision amongst the roster, but you have been able to make some great strides since you were brought in a year ago. So, don’t worry. I’m not planning on firing you or anything.
Tyrone Montgomery: Well, that’s great to hear. 😅 Sorry, it’s just hard not to get a little anxious.
John Conning: EAW has gone through some massive changes at the start of this partnership, so I don’t blame you if you thought something similar were to occur. However, I’ve discussed with some of the Disney executives, and we’ve come to a mutual agreement that it may be good for us to bring in some new personnel.
(Tyrone’s nervousness disappears. Curiosity takes hold of him as he waits for John to continue.)
John Conning: This partnership is only going to lead to bigger and better things, and we thought it would be helpful if some of the management teams here got some extra hands involved. Things have been great, but I must admit that there have been a couple of… contentious events that have occurred during the season. Showdown is perhaps the greatest example of this. After all, we nearly saw a general manager get involved at Pain for Pride, and while Kennedy Street was an accomplished wrestler just a few years back, Disney did not like the idea of a non-wrestling talent getting involved in anything remotely physical.
(John shrugs.)
John Conning: Even if Kennedy already got herself in some intense situations.
Tyrone Montgomery: Hm… I think I see where you’re coming from.
(That brings a smile to John’s face.)
John Conning: Good. With all of the freedom being given to us once again, we just want to take some extra measures to ensure that the Elitists here don’t get *too* reckless. I’m sure the authoritative drama may have been fun to some fans, but from a business standpoint, it’s undesirable. Showdown and Voltage may have had more of that compared to Dynasty, but it doesn’t hurt to have some safeguards in place. Additionally, our chairman, Mr. DEDEDE wanted things to change so that everything could match far better with his visions and views.
(Tyrone taps along the rim of his cup, starting to drift off as he thinks to himself.)
John Conning: That is why I’ve brought two new assistants with me.
(All of a sudden, he perks up in his chair, shocked.)
Tyrone Montgomery: Wait, as in *here* here?
John Conning: Yes. (He chuckles apologetically) Though, thinking back on it, I should’ve told you beforehand. At any rate, these assistants are going to bring some balance to the show. We want all of our values to be represented. Innovation is great, but we also want to even things with some control. So, that is why I’ve brought along with me these two, who should be here just about….
(**KNOCK! KNOCK**!)
John Conning: Now!
(John looks down at his watch and smiles.)
John Conning: Right on time. Come in, you two!
(The door creaks open. Soon, two people step in: an older man, and a blonde woman who looks rather familiar…)
John Conning: Tyrone, I’d like to introduce to you Richard Grant, and Kensingten Calhoun-Astor!
(Kensingten smirks while Richard maintains a stern expression. Tyrone goes to get their seats for them and they both sit next to John.)
Tyrone Montgomery: Welcome, welcome! I must say that this is all a surprise for me, but it’s a pleasure meeting you both. Welcome to the team.
(He shakes hands with Richard. He nods his head, even managing a small smile, but it quickly disappears. Tyrone then turns his attention over to Kensingten.)
Tyrone Montgomery: And I suppose in your case, welcome back. I’ve vaguely heard of you before, ma’am.
(He sticks his hand out for her to shake… but she doesn’t. She smiles, teeth and all, though something felt out her felt cold. Tyrone blinks, slowly shrinking his arm back to his side.)
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: Nice to meet you too.
(Tyrone nods.)
Tyrone Montgomery: Um, may I interest you two in some drinks? Tea, coffee, water, anything—
Richard Grant: No thanks. Let’s just get straight to the deal, yes?
Tyrone Montgomery: :lupe: Okay… sure. No problem at all.
(An awkward laugh slips from his lips. He then clears his throat, tugging on the collar of his shirt. Richard and Kensingten raise a brow, but they don’t say anything. John quickly cuts through whatever uneasy silence there may have been to bring things back on track.)
John Conning: I along with other EAW executive members felt that these two would be the most effective at their jobs and helping you out. Richard has over thirty years of wrestling experience, coming up with the likes of Gary V, King Kjors, Book of Wrestling and Amdrag back in the independents, way before TWL, CWF, LEGION and other promotions ever became mainstream. He’s a dedicated, principled individual, and his old-school, by-the-books ways provide a nice contrast to your ideologies. He’s seen everything that needed to be seen, and I’m sure he can assist you given that this is his field of expertise.
John Conning: As for Kensingten, well, what needs to be said? She’s already familiar with EAW and she’s eager to get herself involved again. Granted, she’ll be taking a behind-the-scenes role this time around, but I’m confident her first-hand experience will help her navigate the laws of the land here better than anyone else.
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: Of course. Richard and I know this industry better than anyone else. I’m sure our combined *experience* will help you out a lot.
Richard Grant: Only makes sense. It isn’t like Dynasty is a complete circus show, but still, you never had any real prior experience with wrestling, have you, son? You were used to the mouse ears and all of that stuff. There’s definitely things that we are able to assist you with. In fact, I don’t even know why it’s taken so long for you to get some help.
(Tyrone blinks a few times.)
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: Same thing I said, Richard! But, better late than never, right? I for one am appreciative of the fact you selected me, John. I’m sure that with me and Richard along, this show will be even better than it has been for season sixteen.
John Conning: Great! Love the enthusiasm. I’m sure that—
(All of a sudden, John’s phone vibrates. He pulls it out, coming across a series of rapid-fire texts that have been sent his way. His eyes widen as he jolts up from his seat.)
John Conning: — The three of you will get along quite well. At any rate, I’m sure you all can continue this conversation without me. Have a meeting I need to go to. I, along with everyone else, have high hopes for you. If anything, just shoot me a text or email me. I’ll see you soon.
(John takes one last sip of his tea before heading out. Tyrone shifts his attention over to the new assistants. That’s when their demeanor changes.)
Richard Grant: Boy, where do I even begin? Just what the hell have you been doing lately with your job?
Tyrone Montgomery: I— I’m sorry? What do you mean?
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: I have to say, I’m quite surprised Dynasty hasn’t devolved into a complete crapshoot like Voltage and Showdown, especially in the past couple of months. I have to say, letting your injured world champion wrestle was not the brightest of ideas.
Tyrone Montgomery: ?!
(Tyrone frowns.)
Tyrone Montgomery: :whoa: I didn’t want Limmy to compete. Trust me. However, he was adamant about wrestling at Pain for Pride, and I couldn’t stop him. Besides, he was able to win in the end. We got to see a war between him and Myles and it worked out; the fans left happy, we have a match of the year candidate, and we got a Pain for Pride moment out of it. Even now, many media outlets are abuzz about night one with that match being regarded as a highlight. 🤷🏿♂️ It was risky, yes, but it paid off in the end.
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: …
Richard Grant: ….
(Kensingten and Richard look at each other for a moment. Then, they burst out laughing.)
Richard Grant: Suuuure buddy, because having the world heavyweight championship not main event any of the three nights has “paid off” for us.
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: Not to mention the absolute NEGLIGENCE displayed. You do realize that his injuries were *exacerbated* in that fight, right? For all we know, Limmy may have to vacate the title now, especially if you allow him to wrestle anytime soon.
Tyrone Montgomery: Well, yes, he’s hurt, but—
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: But what? As a general manager, you are supposed to prioritize the well-being of your talent. You should definitely try to ensure that the **biggest** name on your roster isn’t out here practically killing himself when it’s not necessary. In fact, why did you even allow for a non-Dynasty Elitist to compete for that championship?
Tyrone Montgomery: … Interpromotional fun?
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: 💀
Richard Grant: Don’t you guys already have an event for that sort of thing, though? Even then, you picked the wrong one from Voltage that everyone *actually* wanted to see fight him.
Tyrone Montgomery: Actually, it was Limmy who presented the challenge to Myles—
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: Oh, right! He did, didn’t he? Because that’s the other problem: you’re letting your own wrestlers control you.
(Tyrone Montgomery looks absolutely offended.)
Tyrone Montgomery: That’s not the case at all. Are you two seriously annoyed about me putting together dream matches now at the request of my champions?
Richard Grant: You’re letting them book their own matches at this rate! Limmy isn’t the only one either. Who were those other champions again, that wanted to come out and try to cram in every single title defense possible…?
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: Oh, yeah, PJ and Milli. Those two and Limmy were so gun-ho about trying to be “fighting champions”, and look what happened. Limmy? Devastatingly hurt. PJ? Nearly followed after him considering the issues he had with Shane and PJ? And Milli? Don’t get me started. She’s not even defending the title at Pain for Pride! You let her go after Serenity for the umpteenth time when that ‘ReVeNgE!!” saga could’ve waited for, oh, I don’t know… the Draft Show? Maybe even Midsummer Massacre? That would’ve been far more fitting and relevant. Poetic even.
Tyrone Montgomery: .
Richard Grant: See, back in my day, champions never defended their belts almost weekly, or not even bother to defend them at important events. 👴🏻
(Tyrone sighs.)
Tyrone Montgomery: Look. If you two have any *actual* constructive criticisms, then I don’t mind. However, I won’t let you to belittle me, let alone *the talent*, who just want to fight and put on a good show while they’re at it. Besides, this is wrestling. There are always going to be risks involved. People are going to have different motivations. So long as they’re satisfied, the fans are satisfied, and the ratings reflect it, who cares?
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: Wow. What a far cry you are from how you were a year ago. I guess we’re just too conservative for you, huh? Clutching our pearls a bit much? Then again, you shouldn’t even talk considering you told a tag team consisting of two black wrestlers that they should’ve waited until February for them to receive their title shots. Even I was impressed by that! That was within *this* season, by the way.
Tyrone: Okay, and I’ll admit it was ignorant on my part. However, I was simply following along to what the higher-ups wanted.
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: And so are we now. :troll:
Richard Grant: Yes. You’ve made a couple of mistakes during your stint here. Sometimes, it’s better to not give the wrestlers here *everything* they want — for both their sake and the sake of this company.
Kensingten Calhoun-Astor: Don’t worry though, Tyrone. We’re here to help you. We want to make sure that this show is the best that it can be for everyone involved without compromising our authority or our ideas. It’s not okay to have a backbone, you know. Saying ‘no’ does wonders.
(Kensingten and Richard get up from their seats, making their way to the door. Tyrone glares as he watches.)
Richard Grant: … Oh, cut it with the boo-boo face. You want to be the best, yes? You want Dynasty to prosper, don’t you? That’s why we’re here to help. Just because we’re assistants doesn’t mean we’re yes-people. The sooner you realize that, the better of you’ll be.
(Richard leaves. Kensingten looks back at Tyrone and snorts before chuckling. She takes her leave as well.)
(At his desk, Tyrone shakes his head. He looks over at his coffee cup… then his hand. It was trembling.)
Tyrone Montgomery: Probably should’ve checked to see if they were respectful first. 😒
(He sighs, pushing his coffee to the side, not wanting it anymore. He rubs his temples, trying to block out the negativity as the shot fades.)
( The cameras cut to inside the ring where Stephie Love is standing by ready to announce the next match-up! )
( https://i.imgur.com/o8Ff1R3.png )
Stephie Love: The following match is a Karma’s End Match, where the winner will be the Elitist who has scored the most falls by the end of the allotted time! While contested under Ironman Match rules where falls must occur inside the ring, there will be no count-outs and no disqualifications!
Crowd: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
( As the audience murmurs amidst one another, awaiting for signs of life in the upcoming matchup to begin making themselves known, ‘Take What You Want From Me’ by Post Malone featuring Ozzy Osbourne began to play through the speakers; an unfamiliar theme as the Pain For Pride crowd in Nashville turned for a moment, as fog was heavy amidst the stage, making the visibility for who would end up coming out an uncertainty, though all speculation was soon clear; and signed by the boos that rained down from the stands? It was evident who was making their way down to the ring, further confirmed by the lettering on the Titantron. )
( 𝙎𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙞𝙩𝙮 𝙑𝙖𝙡𝙙𝙚𝙯. )
( Slowly, emerging from the clouded entrance area, Serenity emerged from the fog, no gimmicks, no smirk, just a serious demeanor laying with eyes that were stone cold. Serenity’s entire gear set was black, without a single straying color, with the only two identifiable anomalies straying from the color code being her red hair, as well as a crimson red scar that’d been painted over her left eye, though under the right laid a small, black scythe to keep itself under the tone of her apparel. )
( Serenity looked around at the arena filled with people ridiculing her, not a bit of emotion flashing in her face to retort such a response; as Valdez took a deep breath in, looking down for a moment as she gathered herself in though – before finally, pressing forward. )
Stephie Love: “AND INTRODUCING FIRST… HAILING FROM TIJUANA, MEXICO; BUT RESIDING IN ATLANTA, GEORGIA…. SHE IS THE 2023, EMPRESS OF ELITE… SHE IS, ‘MALEVOLENT’, SERREEEENNNIIITYYYYYYY VALLLLDEEEZZZZZZZ!!!
( The boos continued to downpour despite an energy filled introduction from Stephie Love, as Serenity continued down the ramp; making her way down to the ring as she paced around it, soaking in her second Pain For Pride moment; letting everything truly sink in, before finding her way up the steel steps and onto the apron, shifting herself through the ropes and into the middle of the ring where the spotlight shines the brightest; Serenity staring down the hard cam, with no wavering in her expressionless gaze, taking one more moment to breath it all in, before finally backing up into her corner and resting both her arms on either one of the ropes beside her, before ‘Take What You Want From Me’ finally began to fade out, Serenity now waiting for her opponent to make her entrance. )
???: Please, motherf****** ain’t stop–, please, motherf******
???: Please, mother-, please, mother–, please, motherf******
(The beat drops, and some of the crowd begin to stir as they recognize the opening moments of Beyoncé’s ‘I’M THAT GIRL’ playing throughout the arena. The lights grow dim, almost into complete darkness. People pull out their phones, causing a sea of lights to shine in the entirety of the Geodis Park.)
(The lights soon come on, flashing statically, mirroring the tune of the song.)
Beyoncé: I pull up in these clothes, look so good… ’cause I’m in that h**.
Beyoncé: You know all these songs sound good… ’cause I’m on that, h**
Beyoncé: Deadass, deadass, I’m deadass.
(The song enters its beginning verse, and the lights become brighter. Dancers in glittery silver and red step out, wearing bedazzled cowboy hats and start to dance rhymically. Anticipation slowly builds before the lights come together to form a star-shaped spotlight in the middle of the stage.)
(Soon, Milli Banks emerges on a white horse. Her face is partially secluded behind the giant cowgirl hat reminiscent of the one Beyoncé wore for the RENAISSANCE tour. Around her waist is the Specialists Championship — a title that she decided not to defend in order to get this match. This moment. Months of raw feelings led to this, and one way or another, she was determined to fight Serenity for the third and final time. One has to think that she is absolutely focused, but with her eyes obscured, it’s hard to make out what’s truly going on in that mind. She leads the horse down to the ring in a slow stride, all while the fans burst into an explosion of cheers.)
Crowd: MILLI! MILLI! MILLI! MILLI!
Flannery McCoy: What an elaborate entrance this is!
(The camera focuses in on Milli, who dons a white and red top, matching bottoms, and glittery chaps and cowgirl boots. As for her hair, it’s noticeably straightened; dark-brown in natural color, slicked back into a low ponytail that reaches the middle of her back.)
(The view shifts over to Serenity, who shakes her head, scowling.)
Serenity Valdez: (off-mic) How arrogant.
Stephie Love: And introducing her opponent! From Brooklyn, New York, weighing in tonight at 135 pounds… she is ‘Hermes’, and the EAW Specialists Champion…. MIIIIIILLLLLIIIIIIIIIIII BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANKKKKKKSSSSSS!
Stew-O: Milli Banks *willingly* gave up the chance to defend her title on the biggest stage just so that she could have this match. This was something she had wanted for the longest time, doing everything she could do that she could get her revenge against Serenity Valdez. However, each and every time she had the opportunity to do so, she failed. At Road to Redemption, the Queen Bees prevented her from eliminating Valdez, and at that point, stopped her from winning the Specialists Championship. Then during the Empress of Elite tournament, when everyone thought that it would be her and Serenity in the finals, she was beaten by Holly Arrow in the semifinals. She was eventually able to win the title at Grand Rampage, but we heard from her own lips during the lead-up to this that she had never once truly stopped thinking about defeating Serenity.
Jake Mercer: She said it was an obsession for her, Stew-O. There weren’t any days that went by where she didn’t think about having that match. In fact, the EAW universe has waited for MONTHS, wanting to see these two go at it. Sure, Milli has beaten the Queen Bees. Sure, she may have already handed Serenity a couple of losses in tag team action. However, she was never going to be truly satisfied until this match was official. Now that she’s got her wish, we are on the fast-track to absolute destruction.
Flannery McCoy: In a ‘Karma’s End’ match too, no less. A 30-minute iron woman match to determine who truly is the best — and for Milli, whether or not she definitively had what it took to defeat Serenity all those months back. To say this match has been highly anticipated would be a huge understatement. There is just an unmistakable energy and big-fight feel here tonight.
(Milli stops the horse by the ring and gets off. A handler comes by to lead it back. Milli enters the ring over the top rope and comes to the center of the ring. Slowly, she removes the hat. There’s barely any makeup on her face, if at all, not wanting to hide behind the elaborate mask she’s worn for so long.)
(For tonight, this isn’t Milli Banks and Serenity Valdez wrestling. It’s Tahira Jackson and Delilah Quinn.)
(She gets into her corner, taking off any and all accessories, all the whole staring daggers into Serenity who returns the favor. Months of hate, bad blood and genuine disdain comes to a head. ‘I’M THAT GIRL’ fades, and the lights come back on normally. The Tennessee crowd remains firmly behind Milli.)
Stew-O: Emotions are just running high here.
Jake Mercer: No joke. You can cut through the tension with the sharpest knife in the world, and that STILL wouldn’t be enough.
( DING! DING! DING! )
( CLOCK: 30:00 )
Flannery McCoy: SERENITY CHARGES MILLI AND PUSHES HER BACK INTO THE CORNER OF THE RING! SERENITY NOT WASTING A MOMENT HERE ALREADY AS SHE COMES RIGHT OUT THE GATE ATTACKING MILLI!
( CLOCK: 29:57… 29:56… 29:55… )
Stew-O: SERENITY IS STRIKING AWAY WITH PUNCH AFTER PUNCH, ABSOLUTELY LAYING INTO MILLI BANKS FROM THE GET-GO! MILLI TRIES TO COVER UP BUT SERENITY IS TAKING EVERY OPENING SHE CAN GET, ABSOLUTELY CLOBBERING MILLI IN THE TURNBUCKLES!
Jake Mercer: This is an excellent strategy by Serenity! Getting on the offensive early and going at Milli with a flurry – I actually gave her the advice for that given my extensive knowledge of in-ring psychology!
Flannery McCoy: :mjpls: So what you’re saying is that there’s a chance we’ll see you in the ring at some point?
Stew-O: I think I’d pay to watch Jake versus The Visual Prophet, actually :mjgrin:!
Jake Mercer: I know I’m VERY in demand these days but I think you guys need me more on commentary :lupe:!
Flannery McCoy: And what Milli Banks needs is to find an opening and quick here as Serenity continues to be relentless, throwing Milli to the mat by her hair and dropping down into mounted punches! There’s a viciousness and intent behind those hits that I can’t recall seeing from Serenity before! We know how deeply personal this rivalry between these two women runs and I’m sure it’s only going to get more savage as the match goes on!
( CLOCK: 28:47… 28:46… 28:45… )
Stew-O: Serenity’s slamming the back of Milli’s head against the mat! And now she’s outright choking her as she leans down to scream in Milli’s face!
Serenity Valdez: (off-mic) You did this to yourself! You caused this! You stupid–!
Stew-O: But look at Milli! She’s able to get her legs under Serenity and she pushes up to force Serenity to flip right over her and onto her back, and Milli rolls over to end up right on top of Serenity to start giving her a taste of her own medicine with those punches! Serenity thrashes on the mat underneath her as she tries to cover up!
Jake Mercer: Milli rises up with a handful of hair and takes off into a run before slamming Serenity’s face off the nearest top turnbuckle! Serenity tries to turn away but Milli’s got an iron grip on that hair of hers as she smashes Serenity’s face into the turnbuckle again! Milli now doing it in rapid succession and Serenity is at the mercy of the Specialists Champion right now as there looks to be no fighting her off!
Flannery McCoy: Serenity transitions into repeated kicks to the stomach that Serenity finds herself in no condition to block after being dazed, and Serenity finishes the onslaught with a HUGE backhand to the face! Serenity’s head practically goes spinning as she takes in the effect of that hit, leaning against the turnbuckles in understandable shock while trying to come to her senses!
Jake Mercer: Serenity is leaned over the turnbuckle as she checks for blood it appears, but she needs to turn around as Milli takes off across the ring into the opposite set of turnbuckles and she’s got her sights set on a recovering Serenity before getting a running start across the ring! MILLI LOOKS TO LEAP AT SERENITY IN THE TURNBUCKLES AND SHE-
Stew-O: CRASHES FACE-FIRST INTO THE TURNBUCKLE! SERENITY SIDESTEPPED HER! AND NOW SERENITY FROM BEHIND WITH THE SCHOOLGIRL ROLL-UP!!!!
Referee: OOOONNNNEEEE!!!
Flannery McCoy: NO WAY!!!! NOT LIKE THIS!!!!
Referee: TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!
Stew-O: SERENITY’S HOLDING ONTO MILLI’S RING GEAR FOR LEVERAGE!!!!
Referee: TTTTHHHHRRRREEEE!!!!
Jake Mercer: EMPRESS TINGZ :nail_care:!!
( Score: Milli Banks – 0 , Serenity Valdez – 1 )
( CLOCK: 26:30…26:29…26:28… )
Flannery McCoy: And this crowd is absolutely livid with what they’ve just seen! Serenity steals the first fall of the match and Milli’s just as upset, arguing with the ring official about Serenity pulling on her ring gear to prevent her from kicking out!
Stew-O: But look at Serenity over there just laughing at Milli; there’s absolutely nothing funny about how she just stole that! Serenity mockingly pouts her lips and Milli catches sight of that as she’s had enough of yelling at the referee, and she takes off after Serenity who drops down and rolls right out of the ring!
Flannery McCoy: Milli gives chase as she hops off the apron and follows after the former Specialists Champion, who runs along ringside before rolling back into the ring?! What is she doing?! :wtf:
Jake Mercer: Serenity gets to her feet with Milli coming up to the apron and rolling in, just for Serenity to exit from the ring once again! There’s a frustrated look on Milli’s face as she steps out through the ropes- SERENITY WHIRLS BACK AROUND AND SWEEPS MILLI’S LEG OUT FROM UNDER HER! SERENITY BRILLIANTLY FAKES HER OUT AND SWIFTLY TRIPS HER UP TO HAVE MILLI FALLING ON THE APRON! AND NOW WITH TWO HANDFULS OF HAIR, SERENITY THROWS HER TO THE RINGSIDE FLOOR!
Stew-O: Milli holds her hands to her head after getting thrown down on it but Serenity doesn’t appear to be in any rush to capitalize as she goes under the ring- SHE’S GOT A CHAIR!
Flannery McCoy: Serenity taunts the crowd with it and then sets her sights upon Milli who’s still on the floor, AND SHE SLAMS THE CHAIR OVER MILLI’S BACK! MILLI SCREAMS AS THAT CHAIR SHOT SOUNDS OUT THROUGH THE STADIUM- SERENITY STRIKES AGAIN! SERENITY HITS ANOTHER CHAIR SHOT OVER THE BACK AND MILLI COLLAPSES ON THE GROUND AFTER HAVING TRIED TO PUSH HERSELF UP, AND NOW SERENITY DRIVES THE TOP OF THE CHAIR INTO THE MIDDLE OF MILLI BANKS’ BACK!!!
Jake Mercer: Remember, there’s no disqualification in this match and that includes no count outs as well! Serenity has free reign to do as she pleases, as would Milli if she gets the chance but it looks like Serenity has plans of ensuring that doesn’t happen as she slides the chair into the ring and Milli just after that, before going in for the second fall of the match!
Referee: OOOONNNNEEEE!!!!
Referee: TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!
Referee: TTTTHHHHRRRREEEE!!!!
Stew-O: Milli gets her shoulder up!
( CLOCK: 23:15… 23:14… 23:13… )
Flannery McCoy: Serenity doesn’t appear at all fazed by the kickout from Milli and rolls her eyes with a laugh as she goes to get to her feet from where she looks down at Banks, who’s turned over onto her stomach at reaches out for the chair just in front of her. She gets a weak hold on one of the chair’s legs and slowly moves to her knees but Serenity steps on it to keep Milli from pulling it closer- and after mockingly asking Milli if she wants the chair she stomps down on Milli’s hand!
Jake Mercer: Serenity trash-talks Milli and then the crowd before sending a nasty kick to Milli’s ribs! Milli goes rolling into the corner as Serenity grabs the chair and drives it into the midsection of Banks, not giving her long to breathe as she hits her with it again! Serenity calls on Milli to fight back as she delivers another shot and-
Stew-O: AND A PUNCH TO THE FACE BY MILLI! A DIRECT SHOT BY THE SPECIALISTS CHAMPION! SERENITY IS LITERALLY STUNNED AS MILLI THEN HITS A KICK TO THE GUT, SERENITY DOUBLING OVER AND NEARLY DROPPING THE CHAIR- MILLI KICKS THE CHAIR UP INTO SERENITY’S FACE!!! SERENITY DROPS THE CHAIR AND REACHES TO PROTECTIVELY COVER HER FACE BUT MILLI NOW WITH A SHORT-ARM CLOTHESLINE!
Jake Mercer: MILLI’S STILL HOLDING ONTO SERENITY THOUGH AND SHE FORCES HER UP JUST STRIKE HER DOWN ONCE AGAIN! THAT’S TWO- NOW THREE- NO, FOUR! MILLI DRAGS SERENITY UP AGAIN- ROLLING FIREMAN’S CARRY TO DRIVE SERENITY DOWN! MILLI TAKES TO THE ROPES IN A SPRINGBOARD AND COMES OFF INTO A NASTY DOUBLE KNEE DROP TO THE RIBS!!!
Flannery McCoy: Serenity’s on the mat writhing in pain from that as Milli seeks to keep her momentum rolling! Milli holding her in a front headlock while wisely sending knees to the face and head before she spins Serenity out holding the arm- SERENITY MANAGES TO TEAR HERSELF FREE! The reigning Empress of Elite shoves Milli back and hastily rushes forward to try to regain the upper hand- MILLI LIFTS SERENITY OFF HER FEET AND LETS HER FALL NECK-FIRST OVER THE TOP ROPE!
Flannery McCoy: SERENITY’S HEAD SNAPS BACK AND SHE STUMBLES BACKWARD IN AN EFFORT TO STAY STANDING- A CHAIR SHOT ACROSS THE ABDOMEN! MILLI’S GETTING SOME DESERVED PAYBACK AS SHE STRIKES WITH THE CHAIR AND GIVES SERENITY A TASTE OF HER OWN MEDICINE AS SHE DRIVES THE TOP OF THE CHAIR INTO HER STOMACH! AND NOW MILLI BANKS SLAMS THE CHAIR OVER THE BACK OF SERENITY’S HEAD!!!!! SERENITY GOES DOWN!!!!
Stew-O: She’s clutching at the back of her head after one hell of an absolute shot, but somehow, Serenity isn’t out! Serenity finds the ropes to try to help start getting herself up, staggering to her feet-
Flannery McCoy: ‘FORECLOSURE’ ONTO THE CHAIR!!!!! MILLI SHOVED SERENITY INTO THE ROPES AND SERENITY STUMBLED BACK JUST ENOUGH FOR MILLI TO GET THE SPACE FOR THAT SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT, AND THE BACK OF SERENITY’S HEAD GETS DRIVEN DOWN AGAINST THE CHAIR AT A HIGH-IMPACT SPEED!!!
Jake Mercer: THAT’S A COVER!!! MILLI HOOKING THE LEGS AND THE REFEREE GOES IN FOR THE COUNT!!!!
Referee: OOOONNNNEEEE!!!!
Referee: TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
Referee: TTTTHHHHRRRREEEE!!!!
( CLOCK: 19:42… 19:41… )
Stew-O: SERENITY KICKS OUT?!
Flannery McCoy: Even Milli is shocked as she sits up and looks right to the referee for confirmation! She can’t believe it!
Jake Mercer: She’s not going to have a choice but to believe it! I read online that Serenity-
Flannery McCoy: And whatever it was, you believed it?
Jake Mercer: …
Flannery McCoy: …
Jake Mercer: …
Flannery McCoy: …
Jake Mercer: Hey, you know what?
Flannery McCoy: What? :mjpls:
Jake Mercer: Shut up!
Flannery McCoy: :mjlol:!
Stew-O: Milli is looking to shut up Serenity once and for all as she looks back to Serenity, who has managed to make it to the bottom rope and sit herself up. Milli looks to pull Serenity up by her arm but the Empress of Elite has her other arm hooked around the rope in an absolute refusal to budge for Banks!
Flannery McCoy: And now Milli grabs her by the hair, fed up with the struggle- SERENITY RAKES THE EYES! SERENITY JUST RAKED MILLI’S EYES!!! AND SERENITY KICKS AT ONE OF HER KNEES TO KNOCK A LEG OUT FROM UNDER HER AND MILLI DROPS DOWN, AND SERENITY YANKS HER BY THE HAIR TO SEND HER OVER THE BOTTOM ROPE AND OUT THE RING!!!
Jake Mercer: But not so fast! Serenity still has the hair in her grasp and Milli tries to punch her hand away, but Serenity is already at work as she’s doing something with the hair! Milli continues to strike- Serenity finally lets go and she sits back with a proud look on her face after having tied Milli’s hair around the bottom rope?! A brilliant move by Serenity :blessed:!
( CLOCK: 18:54 )
Stew-O: Brilliant by Serenity, perhaps, but absolutely quite the precarious predicament for Milli to find herself in as Valdez rises to her feet while she watches Milli struggle to get her hair untied. But now Serenity takes off across the ring and comes off the ropes with some extra momentum and drills Milli with a low dropkick!
Flannery McCoy: I’d hate to agree with Jake-
Jake Mercer: :mjpls:!
Flannery McCoy: -but this is definitely smart by Serenity as the clock keeps ticking down, and it allows her to be in full control. She rolls out the ring and starts landing some nasty clubbing blows over the back of Milli, and even goes as far as throwing her knees up into Milli’s unguarded rib cage! Serenity gloats for a moment before she goes digging under the apron skirt-
( **CRACK** )
( **CRACK** )
( **CRACK** )
Jake Mercer: SERENITY’S STRIKING A DEFENSELESS MILLI BANKS WITH A KENDO STICK :damn:!!!
Flannery McCoy: SERENITY IS UNLEASHING AN UNHOLY AMOUNT OF HITS ON MILLI WITH THAT WEAPON AND LOVING EVERY SECOND OF IT! JUST LOOK AT THE CRAZED, EXCITED EXPRESSION THAT SERENITY HAS ON HER FACE RIGHT NOW!
Stew-O: BUT LISTEN TO THOSE SHOUTS OF PAIN FROM MILLI BANKS! TRYING TO EVADE THOSE KENDO STICK SHOTS IS IMPOSSIBLE! THIS IS NOT A POSITION THAT MILLI NEEDS TO BE IN RIGHT NOW AS SHE HAS HER BACK ABSOLUTELY BEATEN! I CAN’T EVEN BEGIN TO IMAGINE WHAT THAT MUST FEEL LIKE FOR HER!
( Leaning into the apron is the only thing keeping Milli up as she practically collapses from having to endure the pain, and after a few more strikes from the sinister Serenity Valdez, she’s finally allowed a moment to breathe as Serenity taunts her. The ring official sternly asks for a moment from Serenity so that he is able to free up Milli’s hair from the ropes; there may be no disqualifications but it’s quite clear that he understood that this was a situation requiring his intervention. )
( CLOCK: 17:50… 17:49… 17:48… )
Flannery McCoy: Thankfully, the ring official saw that he needed to step in and allow Milli to be able to get a fighting chance- SERENITY STOMPS DOWN ON THE BACK OF MILLI’S KNEE! AND GETS THE KENDO STICK ACROSS HER THROAT ONCE MILLI’S KNEELING DOWN, AND SERENITY IS THRASHING BACK AND FORTH AS SHE CHOKES MILLI WITH THE KENDO STICK!!!
Stew-O: Milli tries to reach out in front of her for the ring skirt just to have something, anything to hold onto and perhaps get back up but Serenity maliciously uses the kendo stick to turn her away from it! Milli grabs onto the kendo stick to maybe try to pull it away- SERENITY CONNECTS WITH A BACKSTABBER WITH THE AID OF THE KENDO STICK!! MILLI ENDS UP ON THE RINGSIDE FLOOR IN A BEATEN HEAP AFTER THAT AS SERENITY FINALLY LETS HER GO!
Jake Mercer: But it’s not for long as Serenity grabs her up off the ground and rolls her into the ring, where Milli clutches at her back as she slowly tries to bring herself to stand-
Stew-O: “EL ULTIMO BAILE”!!! SERENITY HITS THE RECOIL ON MILLI AND MILLI DROPS TO THE MAT! SERENITY WITH THE COVER AS SHE DROPS HER FOREARM ACROSS MILLI’S FACE!
Referee: OOOONNNNEEEE!!!!
Referee: TTTTWWWWOOOOO!!!!
Referee: TTTTHHHHHRRRREEEEE!!!!
( SCORE: Milli Banks – 0 , Serenity Valdez – 2 )
( CLOCK: 16:23… 16:22… 16:21… )
Flannery McCoy: Another fall for Serenity Valdez and an emphatic one at that, as she takes a further lead out ahead of Milli!
Jake Mercer: You have to suspect that Serenity has chosen to take her frustrations with this situation out on Milli, as Milli goaded her into this match instead of being able to focus on using her Empress of Elite opportunity on the Universal Women’s Championship! I can’t say I blame her for that when she could’ve been a part of one of the most anticipated main events of this Pain for Pride weekend!
Stew-O: Milli’s certainly paying a price right now for having done that, because Serenity has been absolutely locked in from the very beginning! She’s down two points as we near the halfway mark – how does she close the gap and come back?!
( Serenity watches on from across the ring as the official checks on Milli, who has pulled herself up in the corner with the help of the ropes, and there’s a devious grin on Serenity’s face. While Milli can’t help but look frustrated, Serenity’s expression is concerning and undoubtedly worrying for anyone rooting for Milli; Serenity’s wicked intentions are far from being finished. )
Flannery McCoy: SERENITY DOESN’T LOOK TO WAIT AS SHE RUSHES MILLI IN THE CORNER, THE REFEREE BARELY GETTING THE CHANCE TO STEP OUT THE WAY! SERENITY IS ALL OVER MILLI AS SHE’S ALL OVER HER AND REFUSING TO LET HER GET THE CHANCE TO BREATHE! SHE KNOWS SHE’S GOT THE ADVANTAGE!
Stew-O: MILLI LANDS A DESPERATE KICK THAT PUSHES SERENITY AWAY! BUT THE EMPRESS WON’T BE DETERRED! Serenity charges in again- MILLI IS ABLE TO LIFT HER UP AND OVER THE TOP ROPE OUT ONTO THE APRON! SERENITY LANDS ON HER FEET AND GOES TO SWING ON MILLI- NO! MILLI WAS A STEP AHEAD AS SHE LANDS A LOW DROPKICK THAT TAKES SERENITY’S FEET OUT FROM UNDER HER AND SHE HITS FACE-FIRST OFF THE APRON!!!
Jake Mercer: Milli rises as fast as she can and uses the ropes for a wrecking ball dropkick to send Serenity stumbling back into the barricade! Milli leaves the ring but Serenity rams her into the ring apron with a burst of energy and unexpected speed; those dropkicks were absolutely not enough! But Milli’s striking her over the back as Serenity has her head under Milli’s arm while continuing to do more damage to Milli’s back by repeatedly forcing her into the hardest part of the ring!
( CLOCK: 15:00… 14:59… 14:58…. )
Flannery McCoy: Milli knew she needed to create some distance as she struck with a forceful kick that pushes Serenity back, and Milli tries stumbling away but only gets to the post with Serenity in pursuit-
Stew-O: MILLI BAITED HER IN AND WHIRLED RIGHT AROUND A CHARGING SERENITY, SENDING SERENITY FACE-FIRST INTO THE RING POST! MILLI SMASHES SERENITY’S FACE AGAINST THAT STEEL RING POST OVER AND OVER AGAIN, ONLY STOPPING TO TURN HER AROUND AND HIT A DOUBLE KNEE FACEBREAKER!!!
Jake Mercer: SERENITY STRUGGLES TO STAY ON HER FEET BUT MANAGES TO DO SO! Serenity looks completely taken off guard as she tries to find some reprieve by looking to get out of Milli’s immediate range by trying to hurry away, but Milli aims to put a stop to that as she spins Serenity around before she can get too far and starts firing off with forearms to the face!
Flannery McCoy: Milli refuses to let this chance pass her by now that she sees she’s got Serenity figuratively on the ropes! But Serenity isn’t anywhere close to being incapacitated as she swings right back! Valdez then hitting a kick to the gut and yanking Milli into position in front of the steps for a DDT-
Stew-O: But Milli throws punches to the stomach, effective enough for her to spin out of it with a hold on the wrist and she tries to decapitate Serenity with a nasty uppercut! Serenity takes a chop to the throat and then one to the chest, followed by a snapmare facebreaker! Milli’s succession of moves has the former Specialists Champion rocked, evident as she doubles over after a knee right to the midsection-
Flannery McCoy: SERENITY COLLIDES WITH THE FRONT OF THE STEPS AS MILLI DIVES OVER HER IN A SUNSET FLIP! MILLI FLUNG HER RIGHT INTO THE STEPS AND SERENITY HOLLERS IN AGONY AS SHE ROLLS OFF THE STEPS AND GRABS AT HER BACK!!!
Jake Mercer: MILLI COMES JUMPING OFF THE STEPS AND RIGHT ONTO SERENITY’S BACK IN A DOUBLE FOOT STOMP, DRIVING VALDEZ BACK DOWN TO THE GROUND AS SHE TRIED TO GET UP! THE CROWD IS BUZZING AS SHE STARTS STOMPING ALL OVER THE FORMER SPECIALISTS CHAMPION, NOT AT ALL WANTING SERENITY TO ASSUME THAT SHE CAN GET COMFORTABLE!!
( CLOCK: 14:13… 14:12… 14:11… )
Stew-O: Milli looks to keep this streak going as she picks Serenity off of the ringside and rolls her into the ring before going under the apron, in search of a weapon to up the ante here! The crowd is anticipating what she could possibly find, but look inside the ring! Serenity is trying to shake off the effects of that vicious attack by Milli and sees her moving outside the ring, Serenity crawling over and she reaches through the ropes of the hair-
( **CRASH** )
Jake Mercer: :damn:!!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: :damn:!!!!
Stew-O: A LIGHT TUBE TO THE FACE!!!! SERENITY GETS STRUCK ACROSS THE FACE WITH A LIGHT TUBE FROM MILLI BANKS!!!!
Jake Mercer: SERENITY IS ROLLING AWAY FROM THE ROPES WITH HER HANDS OVER HER FACE AFTER THAT UNEXPECTED HIT!!
Flannery McCoy: That light tube hit her right across the eyes, too! Serenity is struggling to see right now and Milli has a second tube with her as she rolls into the ring, trash-talking Serenity as Valdez raises up in an effort to get to her feet- ANOTHER HIT TO THE FACE! SERENITY SCREAMS AS SHE HAS THAT SECOND LIGHT TUBE BROKEN OVER HER EYES! SHE STUMBLES AROUND TRYING TO AVOID A FURTHER ATTACK BUT SHE’S GOT NO SENSE OF DIRECTION!
Stew-O: A BOOT TO THE GUT BRINGS SERENITY’S HANDS INSTINCTIVELY AWAY FROM HER EYES- MILLI SWINGS THE BROKEN PIECE OF THE LIGHT TUBE SHE’S GOT IN HER HAND AND THAT JAGGED EDGE CATCHES SERENITY ACROSS THE FACE!!!
Jake Mercer: Serenity is absolutely shocked as she reaches up just under her eye and she looks livid realizing what’s happened! Serenity takes a wild swing at Milli but Banks ducks the attempted clothes-
Flannery McCoy: RECOIL WITH THE LIGHT TUBE?!?!!?!?!
Jake Mercer: THAT BROKEN PIECE OF LIGHTING COMPLETELY SHATTERS AS MILLI HITS SERENITY WITH HER OWN MOVE!!! “EL ULTIMO BAILE” CONNECTS!!!
Stew-O: AND NOW MILLI GOES FOR THE COVER!!! MILLI HAS BOTH LEGS HOOKED AND THE REFEREE SLIDES INTO POSITION TO MAKE THE COUNT!!!!
Referee: OOOOONNNNNEEEEE!!!!
Referee: TTTTTWWWWWOOOOO!!!!
Referee: TTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEE!!!!
( CLOCK: 13:29… 13:28… 13:27… )
( SCORE: Milli Banks – 1 , Serenity Valdez – 2 )
Flannery McCoy: And look at the expression on Milli Banks’ face right now after that as she sits up out of the pin! After getting that first fall for herself, Milli appears more than ready to keep this going!
Jake Mercer: Milli’s a legit boss, but y’all knew that!
Stew-O: :mjpls: I’m pretty sure I heard you rooting for Serenity earlier. Just whose side are you on here?
Jake Mercer: Yes :slight_smile:!
Flannery McCoy: That didn’t even answer… whatever. Milli backs across the ring at the discretion of the ring official as he tries to check in on Serenity and Serenity has moved to the corner, completely ignoring the referee as he’s speaking while trying to assist in clearing the blood from that cut. She glares across the ring at Milli and that blood dripping down under her eye makes for the perfect visual of how Serenity so clearly knows now that she’s going to be in for an even tougher time.
Stew-O: Serenity rises to her feet with the referee still tending to her- SHE PUSHES HIM ASIDE AND GOES RIGHT FOR MILLI! BANKS EVADES A CHARGING CLOTHESLINE AND HITS A SPINNING SIDE KICK TO THE STOMACH AS SERENITY WHIRLS AROUND IN SEARCH OF MILLI! Milli takes off across the ring and to the ropes where she bounds off of them back toward Serenity, who lifts Milli off her feet but Milli takes her for a ride with a tilt-a-whirl headscissors to fling her into the corner!
Jake Mercer: Serenity rises up and to her feet in a hurry but Milli meets her almost instantly with a stiff shoulder thrust in the corner! The reigning Specialists Champion doesn’t let up as she starts ramming her shoulder into Serenity’s abdomen in rapid succession to start wearing her down further! Serenity certainly wasn’t expecting Milli to be coming at her with this kind of aggression after all that she has been through already!
Flannery McCoy: Milli may have been put through a whole lot of punishment at the hands of Serenity but she’s most definitely not to be counted out! The Specialists Champion is showing her resilience here as she tries to keep her comeback in this match going by catching the Empress of Elite with a punch to the bloodied side of her face followed up with another! Serenity desperately shoves her back before she comes at her again-
Jake Mercer: “NO FAKE BILLS HERE”- WAIT, NO! SERENITY SIDESTEPS HER AND MILLI QUICKLY SHOOTS HER LEG BACKWARD TO TRY TO GET A KICK IN BUT SERENITY CAPTURES HER ANKLE! Milli hops on one foot as Serenity has her at her mercy, reminiscent of that time in Guatemala when Serenity had the wrestling scene there by the throat back in ‘03!
Stew-O: Something about that doesn’t sound right :lupe:
Flannery McCoy: You mean like how we’re both pretty sure she would’ve been too young then? :francis:
Jake Mercer: You just had to be there :wow:!
( CLOCK: 12:19… 12:18… 12:17… )
Flannery McCoy: And it’s here in the ring that Milli tries to find the mark with an enzuigiri but Serenity lets go of Milli as she leaves from her remaining foot and Milli crashes to the canvas! Serenity darts to the ropes and comes bounding back looking for a low dropkick, but Milli turns herself out of the way and looks for a quick roll-up on Serenity as Serenity tried to hurry back up to her feet!
Referee: OOOOONNNNNNEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TTTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOO!!!!
Referee: TTTTTHHHHHHRRRR-
Stew-O: Serenity is able to shove her off and shoots up to try to lunge forward at Milli but gets a knee to the face! Milli grabs her hand and runs to the corner where she hops onto the turnbuckle- SERENITY KICKS THE BACK OF ONE OF MILLI’S KNEES AND MILLI BANKS TAKES A NASTY FALL BACKWARD TO THE MAT!!!
Flannery McCoy: It looked like Milli could’ve landed on the back of her head there, but all Serenity sees is the opportunity to take advantage as she stomps right down on Milli’s chest! Milli turns over in pain with her hands to her chest and Serenity quickly exits the ring to go for another weapon, retrieving chairs and shoving them in under the bottom rope!
Jake Mercer: Serenity rolls back into the ring and grabs one of the chairs to wedge it into the turnbuckles before going for one of the remaining two chairs, that she slams over Milli as she’s still down on the mat! The crowd is booing as Serenity basks in the hate, which only seems to fuel a second chair shot across the back as Milli had turned over in what is no doubt excruciating pain!
( CLOCK: 11:38… 11:37… 11:36… )
Serenity Valdez: (off-mic) Where’s Cameron now, huh, Milli?! Who’s here to help rescue you now?!
Stew-O: ANOTHER chair shot to the Specialists Champion! Serenity taunts the crowd as she places the chair over Milli’s face and STOMPS DOWN ON THE CHAIR!!! MY GOD!!!!
Flannery McCoy: Just sickening actions from the Empress of Elite right now! Serenity pulls the chair away to show that Milli’s nose has been busted from that stomp with the chair, and she laughs much to the fury of the audience! She lets the dented chair fall from her hands and to the canvas at her feet before grabbing Milli, pulling her up with her head between her legs as she lifts her for a powerbomb-
Jake Mercer: MILLI COUNTERS INTO A DDT ON THE CHAIR!!! MILLI SPIKES SERENITY RIGHT ON HER HEAD AND SAVES HERSELF FROM SERENITY’S PLANS TO CONTINUE TO TORTURE THE SPECIALISTS CHAMPION!!!!
Stew-O: Serenity rolls away clutching at her head and Milli looks as if she knows for a fact she just avoided a disastrous situation! She was somehow able to maintain her senses but she’s slow to rise as she stumbles her way over to Serenity, who she struggles to bring up to her feet- SERENITY RAKES THE EYES!!! SERENITY CLAWS AT MILLI’S EYES TO BLIND HER AND SERENITY’S DESPERATION BUSY HER SOME TIME!!!
Flannery McCoy: Serenity whips Milli into the turnbuckles and Milli looks out of it as she collides in the corner and Serenity looks to take her out- MILLI BLOCKS THE ONCOMING ATTACK WITH THE HELP OF THE ROPES BY RAISING HERSELF UP TO LAND TWO BOOTS TO THE FACE!!! Milli wipes blood away from her nose as she tries to regain some of her composure but Serenity isn’t having it as she runs at her again-
Jake Mercer: SERENITY HITS THE CHAIR SHE WEDGED IN THE CORNER!!!! MILLI COUNTERS WITH A DROP TOE HOLD AND SERENITY SMACKS FACE-FIRST INTO THE STEEL CHAIR!!!
Stew-O: SERENITY HASN’T MOVED A MUSCLE SINCE SHE FELL VICTIM TO A POTENTIAL TRAP THAT SHE PUT INTO PLACE! SERENITY IS STUNNED AS SHE’S DOWN IN THE CORNER ON HER KNEES AFTER THAT!!
( CLOCK: 10:37… 10:36… 10:35… )
Flannery McCoy: Milli has seemingly recovered enough to get herself moving, albeit groggily as she puts her focus on Serenity and she throws Serenity back to the mat by her hair before grabbing the chair! MILLI STARTS UNLOADING ON SERENITY WITH CHAIR SHOT AFTER CHAIR SHOT! SERENITY SCREAMING AS SHE TRIES TO TURN HERSELF OUT OF THE WAY, ROLLING ON THE CANVAS TO TRY TO AVOID THOSE HITS!!!!
Stew-O: BUT IT’S NO USE! MILLI IS FOLLOWING RIGHT AFTER HER AND SHE ISN’T LETTING UP! THERE’S SO MUCH EMOTION AND PENT-UP RAGE BEHIND THOSE HITS – MILLI SURELY HAS TO FEEL SOME KIND OF VINDICATION WITH EVERY ONE OF THOSE!! SHE’S WAITED SO LONG TO GET SERENITY ONE-ON-ONE, ALL TO HERSELF AND NOW SHE’S GOT THE CHANCE AND SHE’S LETTING SERENITY HAVE ALL OF IT!!!
Jake Mercer: SERENITY CONTINUES TO SCREAM OUT IN PAIN AS SHE ROLLS ACROSS THE RING! THE REFEREE EVEN HAVING TO QUICKLY GET OUT OF THEIR WAY AS SERENITY ROLLED IN HIS DIRECTION, AND MILLI SLAMS THAT CHAIR DOWN ACROSS HER BACK ONE LAST TIME BEFORE SERENITY ROLLS OUT UNDERNEATH THE BOTTOM ROPE FOR A REPRIEVE!
Flannery McCoy: BUT SHE’S NOT GETTING IT AS MILLI FLIES THROUGH THE ROPES AND INTO A SUICIDE DIVE WITH THE CHAIR!!! MILLI TAKES SERENITY DOWN AT RINGSIDE, BOTH OF THEM CRASHING OUTSIDE THE RING!!!!
( There’s plenty of emotion on Milli’s face as she crawls to the barricade to get up, looking beaten and bloodied as blood continues to run from her busted nose but she knows she can’t let up now, not at this moment in the match. )
Stew-O: Milli grabs Serenity from the ground pushes her back into the apron and gets beside her, lifting Valdez into a back suplex but letting her lower back hit the hardest part of the ring! Serenity cries out after she hits and stumbles forward only to drop to her knees as she’s unable to keep herself standing! Milli rolls her into the ring but isn’t so fast to get back in herself, going under the ring….
Jake Mercer: :lupe:
Stew-O: :lupe:
Flannery McCoy: Milli slides in not one but two panes of glass :lupe:!! Milli rolls into the ring and ends up smearing more blood across her face as she tries to clear it from her nose, which is no doubt hard to breathe through right now! She lands a kick to the ribs of Serenity as she spots Serenity making a pained, slow attempt to get up and Serenity falls right back over!
Stew-O: Milli puts her attention back to those glass panes only after finding two of the three chairs that Serenity brought into the ring, setting the chairs up and setting those panes up to bridge across the seats :lupe:! The Specialists Champion grabs a beaten Serenity and takes her over to the corner in front of the glass where she looks to raise Serenity up onto the top turnbuckle!
( CLOCK: 9:20… 9:19… 9:18… )
Jake Mercer: With Serenity up like that, you can see that she’s been busted open too as blood trickles down from the top of her forehead; no doubt from that when she fell into the chair! Milli throws clubbing blows to the chest as she climbs up after Serenity and now starts landing them on the head after getting on the second turnbuckle-
Flannery McCoy: But look at Serenity starting to fight back! Serenity throws punches of her own from her seated position and she surely knows that this isn’t a good spot to be in right now! Milli tries to beat that resilience out of her though with more punches and she goes to take a step up to the top rope- SERENITY DROPS DOWN UNDER MILLI AND THEN GETS BEHIND HER BEFORE CLUBBING MILLI OVER HER BACK! SERENITY WITH MORE CLUBBING FOREARMS AS SHE TARGETS MILLI’S BACK KNOWING IT’S A SPOT TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF!
Stew-O: Milli is stalled on that middle rope as she nearly fell over trying to keep her balance after Serenity slipped under her legs, and now Serenity’s climbing up behind her! Milli tries a back kick but Serenity blocks and shoves her leg forward over the top rope! Milli nearly takes a tumble as Serenity pushes her into that precarious position on the top rope!
Flannery McCoy: Milli struggles to position herself as she knows she’s got Serenity behind her and Serenity continues to strike her over the back! But now Serenity gets her arms around Milli’s waist and takes a look behind her at that stacked glass!
Jake Mercer: SERENITY LIFTS MILLI FOR A GERMAN SUPLEX FROM THE TURNBUCKLES!!!
( **CRASH** )
Stew-O: “BANKRUPT” THROUGH THE GLASS PANES!!!! SALIDA DEL SOL FROM ALL THE WAY UP TOP!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: THE BACK OF SERENITY’S HEAD GOES THROUGH THE GLASS AS MILLI COUNTERED AT THE LAST POSSIBLE SECOND!!!! SERENITY IS LAID OUT IN A MESS OF SHATTERED GLASS AS IT BREAKS AND THE CHAIRS COLLAPSE!!!!
Stew-O: BUT MILLI! MILLI KNOWS THIS IS HER CHANCE TO EVEN THE SCORE AS SHE TRUDGES OVER TO SERENITY AND DRAPES HER ARM OVER SERENITY TO MAKE THE COVER!!!!!!!!!
Referee: OOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!!!!!
Referee: TTTTTTWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Referee: TTTTTTTHHHHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
( SCORE: Milli Banks – 2 , Serenity Valdez – 2 )
Jake Mercer: MILLI TIES THE SCORE AND WHAT A WAY TO DO IT :damn:!!!!!
( CLOCK: 8:35… 8:34… 8:36… )
Flannery McCoy: But the match is still going! Neither of these women can afford to take things lightly now with the way things are now!
Stew-O: It’s still going to take a moment regardless as they’ve put each other through plenty already! The referee is going back and forth between both women to try to check on their condition, and Milli has pulled herself to the nearest bottom rope and hooks her arm around it to sit herself up… just in time to see Serenity rolling out of the ring and using the apron to support herself with her back to the official and Milli as blood is seen coming down the back of her head.
Jake Mercer: Milli shakes her head in frustration before rolling out on her side of the ring and looking to take matters into her own hands despite the referee asking her to get back! Milli ignores him as she rounds the ring post and whirls Serenity around by the shoulder-
Stew-O: MILLI LETS OUT ONE OF THE MOST DISTRESSED SCREAMS WE’VE HEARD YET AS SERENITY STABS HER WITH A SHARD OF THE SHATTERED GLASS PANES!!!!
Flannery McCoy: SERENITY PULLS THAT SHARD OUT OF MILLI’S ARM AND MILLI IMMEDIATELY TURNS AWAY BUT SERENITY SLASHES HER ACROSS THE BACK, GETTING ANOTHER SCREAM OUT OF MILLI!
( CLOCK: 8:13… 8:12… 8:11… )
Jake Mercer: Serenity’s clearly the most desperate that she’s been this entire match to pull something like this! Serenity follows after Milli alongside the ring with a look of pure hatred in her eyes, gripping that piece of glass as she stalks after Banks and raises the piece of glass up-
Flannery McCoy: Milli kicks the glass out of her hand as Serenity catches up to her at the steps and Milli meets her head-on! The two of them trading blows outside of the ring!
Stew-O: Serenity though goes after that bloody arm with a punch, putting Milli on defense as she backs away to protect herself but it’s as Serenity tries to take advantage that Milli connects with an elbow to the face! Milli’s fighting with one arm and Serenity finds herself getting pushed back by the spirited offense brought by her longtime rival-
Jake Mercer: A kick to the stomach brings Milli’s attempts to rally to a screeching halt! Serenity lifting Milli for a suplex but Milli goes up and over to land behind her- MILLI SHOVES SERENITY INTO THE POST!!! SERENITY LOOKS AS SHE HITS FACE-FIRST INTO THE STEEL RING POST!!!! SERENITY DROPS TO A KNEE- “NO FAKE BILLS HERE”!!! MILLI’S KNEE CONNECTS AS SERENITY’S HEAD IS CAUGHT BETWEEN IT AND THE POST!!
( CLOCK: 7:46… 7:45… 7:44… )
Flannery McCoy: AND MILLI TAKES ADVANTAGE OF THE MOMENT BY TAKING SERENITY OFF OF HER FEET WITH A RUSSIAN LEGSWEEP ON THE OUTSIDE! Milli rolls her into the ring shortly after and aims to bring Serenity to her feet while throwing forearm shots to Serenity’s bloodied face!
Stew-O: Milli whips her across the ring but Serenity has the wherewithal to hook her arms over the top rope to prevent herself from springing back toward Milli! Milli goes to get on the offensive and takes a back elbow to the face for her efforts as she struggled to get Serenity off the ropes! Valdez seizes the moment to connect with a snap suplex on Milli, but doesn’t let go as she brings them to stand for a second snap suplex that slams Milli right onto her back!
Flannery McCoy: Serenity brings them up a second time but Milli manages to counter with a twist into a victory roll right into a double foot stomp- NO! SERENITY TURNED OUT OF THE WAY AS MILLI JUMPED OFF THE MAT AND CONNECTS WITH A CHOP BLOCK!!!
Jake Mercer: MILLI JUMPS OVER SERENITY’S ARM AND THEN SOMERSAULTS OVER SERENITY INTO AN OKLAHOMA ROLL!!!!
Referee: OOOOONNNNNNEEEEEE!!!!
Referee: TTTTTTWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
Referee: TTTTTTTHHHHHHHHRRRRREEEEE!!!!
Flannery McCoy: SERENITY KICKS OUT!!!
Stew-O: BOTH WOMEN RUSH TO THEIR FEET IN A HURRY TO GET THE ADVANTAGE OF A VERTICAL BASE!!!
Jake Mercer: KAIROPRACTOR!!!!! THAT WAS MILLI’S “NEW BODY”!!!!!!!
Stew-O: HIT BY SERENITY ON MILLI :damn:!!!!!!!!!!
Jake Mercer: SERENITY HITS MILLI WITH HER OWN MOVE! PAYBACK FOR EARLIER IN THE MATCH WHEN MILLI TRIED TO OUTDO HER WITH A SIMILAR IDEA!
Flannery McCoy: BUT MILLI ENDED UP ROLLING OUT OF THE RING AFTER IT WAS HIT! THE LOOK ON SERENITY’S FACE AS SHE LAYS ON THE MAT PULLING AT HER HAIR IN DISBELIEF SAYS IT ALL!! THAT WAS ONE OF THE BEST SHOTS SHE’S THROWN AT MILLI AND NOW SHE CAN’T EVEN CAPITALIZE!
( CLOCK: 6:29… 6:28… 6:27… )
Stew-O: These two know each other so well, trying to one-up each other and now we’re coming upon the closing moments of this match with a tied score at this point!
Flannery McCoy: Serenity is clearly trying to hold it together as she goes for Milli on the outside… actually, she’s not going for Milli at all :lupe:!
Jake Mercer: Serenity goes under the ring and pulls out a table, the sight of which gets the crowd roaring but there’s no doubt got to be concern for Milli right now!
Stew-O: But that concern certainly isn’t coming from Serenity as she slides Milli into the ring first and followed by that table into the ring! Serenity isn’t exactly moving so quickly herself as she grabs the table and goes to position it into the corner, leaning it on the turnbuckles and making sure it stays in place.
( CLOCK: 5:44… 5:43… 5:42… )
Flannery McCoy: Serenity goes across the ring to get Milli who’s struggling to get up in the corner, and lifts her off her feet but Milli starts throwing elbow shots to the side of the head! Serenity tries to stay on track toward the table but Milli’s fighting makes it all that more difficult! Milli’s able to use her feet to push off the table and go over Serenity in a sunset flip but she can’t hold her down for the pin!
Stew-O: Serenity kicks her in the face to escape and the two of them turn over to try to get to their feet, and Milli does her best to move with a sense of urgency-
Jake Mercer: SERENITY SLAMS A STEEL CHAIR DOWN OVER MILLI’S HEAD!!!
Flannery McCoy: MILLI COLLAPSES DOWN TO HER KNEES AND SERENITY TOSSES THE CHAIR ASIDE AS SHE RUNS TO THE ROPES!!!!
Stew-O: “HIT THE LIGHTS”!!! SERENITY’S KNEE CONNECTS WITH THE BACK OF MILLI’S HEAD!!!!! SERENITY TURNING HER OVER FOR THE COVER!!!!
Referee: OOOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Referee: TTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Referee: TTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRREEEEEEEEE!!!!!
( SCORE: Milli Banks – 2 , Serenity Valdez – 3 )
( CLOCK: 4:50… 4:49… 4:48… )
Flannery McCoy: Serenity puts herself up by one point at one of the most critical points in the match!
Stew-O: Serenity has got to be feeling some relief as she finally, FINALLY scores that fall! I’m not sure how Milli rebounds here, however! What could she possibly do in these final moments?!
( Serenity rolls away from Milli with a smirk on her face, but there’s no denying that she’s exhausted from the match. She looks across the ring to see the referee tending to Milli, who’s barely conscious but undeniably regaining her senses. )
( CLOCK: 4:22… 4:21… 4:20… )
Jake Mercer: Both women are seated across the ring from each other at the bottom ropes, and Milli looks furious while Serenity wears a gloating expression. Milli shakes her head as she starts to pull on the ropes to get up, she’s not letting it end like that!
Stew-O: Serenity’s slow to rise but she’s not about to let Milli come at her unopposed! The emotion is building on Milli’s face and Serenity shakes her head as she fires herself up, just as frustrated with Milli’s undying fight!
Flannery McCoy: SERENITY AND MILLI MEET IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING TRADING BLOWS!!! MILLI CATCHING SERENITY WITH FOREARM AFTER FOREARM AFTER FOREARM!!!! NOW SERENITY CLOBBERING MILLI WITH SHOT AFTER SHOT AFTER SHOT!!!!
Stew-O: MILLI KICKS SERENITY BACK AND LUNGES FOR A CLOTHESLINE BUT SERENITY COMES WITH A DISCUS FOREARM! MILLI GETS ROCKED AND DROPS TO A KNEE AS SHE CAN BARELY STAND!
( CLOCK: 3:39… 3:38… 3:37… )
Jake Mercer: SERENITY DRIVES HER BACK INTO THE TURNBUCKLES AND STARTS HAMMERING AWAY, HOPING TO MAINTAIN HER LEAD AND WIND DOWN THE CLOCK!
Flannery McCoy: BUT A KNEE LIFT FROM MILLI DOUBLES HER OVER! AND NOW SHE STARTS LIGHTING HER UP WITH FOREARMS, SERENITY’S BLOOD SPLATTERING ON HER ARM-
Stew-O: SERENITY STRIKES HER BACK AND INTO THE ROPES! SERENITY CHARGING FOR “FALL FROM GRACE”!!!! SPRINGBOARD FLATLINER!!!!
Flannery McCoy: IT DOESN’T CONNECT AS MILLI HOOKS HER ARMS AROUND THE TOP ROPE TO KEEP HERSELF FROM GETTING PULLED DOWN! SERENITY FALLS ON THE BACK OF HER HEAD AND MILLI GRABS HER RAISED LEGS AS SHE FLIPS OVER INTO A BRIDGING JACKKNIFE PIN ON SERENITY!!!!
Referee: OOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
Referee: TTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Referee: TTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
( SCORE: Milli Banks – 3 , Serenity Valdez – 3 )
( CLOCK: 2:43… 2:42… 2:41… )
Jake Mercer: SHE DID IT!!!! MILLI TIED THE SCORE BACK UP AS WE NEAR 2 MINUTES LEFT IN THE MATCH!!!!
Flannery McCoy: BUT SERENITY!!!! SHE’S ALL OVER MILLI ALREADY AS MILLI CAN’T EVEN LET THE FACT SHE TIED THE SCORE SINK IN!!! SERENITY IS ABSOLUTELY FURIOUS AS SHE PUMMELS MILLI DOWN TO THE MAT WITH FISTS OVER AND OVER TO THE TOP OF HER HEAD!!!!
Stew-O: THE REFEREE IS TRYING TO INTERVENE BUT SERENITY SHOVES HIM AWAY! SHE’S NOT LETTING HIM GET INVOLVED! SHE’S ABSOLUTELY HAD IT WITH MILLI TONIGHT!!!
( CLOCK: 2:26… 2:25… 2:24… )
Flannery McCoy: Serenity grabs Milli by her hair and TOSSES her across the ring, letting Milli hit the mat with a thud! Milli’s trying to compose herself after the whirlwind that just occurred but a straight boot to the face knocks her down and Serenity is incensed right now!
Jake Mercer: Serenity has Milli by the hair and she drags her up to her knees, SLAPPING MILLI ACROSS THE FACE :lupe:!!!!
Serenity Valdez: (off-mic) Just stay down!
Flannery McCoy: ANOTHER SLAP ACROSS THE FACE :lupe:!!!!
Serenity Valdez: (off-mic) Why won’t you stay down?!
Stew-O: A THIRD SLAP TO MILLI :lupe:!!!
( CLOCK: 1:40… 1:39… 1:38… )
Milli Banks: (off-mic) I already told you before… you’re gonna have to make me.
( Serenity scowls down at Milli, frustration and anger on the Empress of Elite’s face. )
Stew-O: SERENITY WITH A HUGE KNEE THRUST TO THE FACE!!!! WHAT A HIT!!!
Flannery McCoy: YOU’D THINK SHE WAS TRYING TO BREAK MILLI’S JAW! But it’s not like she cares as Milli looks lifeless as Serenity drags her up and gets her up over her shoulder!
Jake Mercer: SERENITY HAS MILLI UP FOR A POWERSLAM AND SHE GOES RUNNING RIGHT TOWARD THE TABLE!!!! SERENITY LOOKING TO END THIS ONCE AND FOR ALL!!!!
( **CRASH** )
Stew-O: SERENITY GOES THROUGH THE TABLE!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: MILLI PUSHED OFF AT THE LAST MOMENT AND SLID DOWN SERENITY’S BACK!!!! MILLI USES SERENITY’S OWN MOMENTUM AGAINST HER!!!!
Jake Mercer: I CAN’T BELIEVE IT!!!! SERENITY HAS GOT TO BE REGRETTING THAT NOW!!! OR AT LEAST SHE WILL WHEN SHE REALIZES WHAT SHE’S DONE!!!!
( CLOCK: 1:00… 0:59… 0:58… )
( Milli had fallen to the mat after the fact and as she looks at the wreckage of Serenity in the broken table, Banks knows that this was indeed a close call! )
Flannery McCoy: This is Milli’s moment to capitalize! All she has to do is get Serenity and make the pin – this could be over right here!
Jake Mercer: Milli forces herself up and staggers over to Serenity, pulling her by the hair and dragging her up to her feet! Milli landing a hellacious forearm that turns Serenity on the heels of her boots!
Stew-O: “WELLS FARGO”!!!!!! THE BACKSTABBER INTO THE BANK STATEMENT!!!!!
Flannery McCoy: MILLI’S WRENCHING BACK ON THAT CROSSFACE WITH ALL THAT SHE’S GOT LEFT AND SERENITY’S SCREAMING AS SHE REACHES UP AT MILLI’S HANDS TO TRY TO PRY THEM AWAY!!!
( CLOCK: 0:30… 0:29… 0:28… )
Jake Mercer: SERENITY’S TRYING TO TRUDGE TOWARD THE ROPES! SHE’S DETERMINED TO GET OUT OF THIS ONE WAY OR ANOTHER! IF SHE CAN PULL HERSELF OUT OF THE RING, MILLI WON’T HAVE A CHOICE BUT TO BREAK!
Stew-O: SHE’S GOT TO MAKE IT THERE FIRST! AND SHE’S SO CLOSE! MILLI DIDN’T TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THEIR POSITIONING IN THE RING! SERENITY COULD POTENTIALLY SAVE THE MATCH!
( CLOCK: 0:15… 0:14… 0:13… )
Flannery McCoy: SERENITY IS FINGERTIPS AWAY- MILLI KICKS OFF THE BOTTOM ROPE AND THEY GO ROLLING FURTHER AWAY FROM THE ROPES!
( CLOCK: 0:12… 0:11… 0:10… )
Jake Mercer: BUT SHE’S STILL GOT THAT HOLD APPLIED!!! WHAT AWARENESS BY MILLI, YET SERENITY ISN’T QUITTING!!!
( CLOCK: 0:09… 0:08… 0:07… )
Stew-O: MILLI- MILLI STARTS SMASHING SERENITY’S FACE INTO THE GLASS-COVERED CHAIR LEFT BEHIND IN THE RING FROM EARLIER! OVER AND OVER AND OVER! SHE REAPPLIES THE CROSSFACE AND LEANS FURTHER BACK, SERENITY’S NECK IS BENT AT THAT GRUESOME ANGLE!!!!!
( CLOCK: 0:05… 0:04… 0:03… )
Flannery McCoy: IT’S TOO MUCH! SHE CAN’T HOLD ON! SHE’S TAPPING! SERENITY’S TAPPING!!
( CLOCK: 0:02… 0:01… 0:00 )
( DING! DING! DING! )
( SCORE: Milli Banks – 4 , Serenity Valdez – 3 )
( ‘Changed It’ by Nicki Minaj featuring Lil Wayne begins to play over the roaring crowd that is the EAW Universe! Milli has yet to let go of the hold and the ring official has to step in to pull Milli’s hands off the Empress of Elite as it’s obvious that Milli was caught up in the moment of just how personal this was for her and Serenity, and she falls back against the mat laying beside Serenity. )
Stephie Love: HERE IS YOUR WINNER…. MILLIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII BAAAAAAAAAAAAANKSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!
Stew-O: What a match! What a war! Serenity and Milli Banks go from bell to bell for 30 minutes in a vicious, personal Karma’s End Match, and at the end of it all, it’s Milli who comes out of this non-title but amazing match as the winner!
Flannery McCoy: For so long she wanted to get her hands on Serenity Valdez in one-on-one opportunity like this and now that it’s over, now that she can say that she’s won, we know that Milli proves herself to be able to come out on top over the Empress of Elite!
( Milli is sitting up as she’s given the Specialists Championship by the referee and he helps her to feet to raise her arm to acknowledge her as the winner of the bout. He lets her go to go check on Serenity, whose face is cut and bloodied even worse from the glass that she was forced to meet on the chair moments ago. )
Jake Mercer: Serenity gave this woman an absolute fight, often times resembling what we’ve seen come out of their feud where Serenity would get the better of her in situations and forcing Milli to have to find ways to make up for it, and she came oh-so-close to prevailing!
Flannery McCoy: No matter how she did it, Serenity was definitely all that much of a potential winner as Milli because we saw how she was able to get to Milli, get under her skin and get in her head with her antics so that Milli was contending with her own emotions as well – but it just wasn’t enough. Milli used her surroundings to her advantage – seeing the chair with that glass on it from earlier – and… well, Serenity’s face kinda speaks for all that right now :yikes:!
( The gloved referee can be seen putting up an ‘X’ with his arms as a sign to call for EMTs and they come hurrying toward the ring, and Sierra and Mei come from the barricades to check on Serenity as well. The concern on their faces is clear as they’re instructed to stay outside the ring and watch on as the medical team goes over how to deal with assisting Serenity out of the ring and to the back. )
Stew-O: This is going to go down as a huge turning point in this rivalry for both Milli Banks and Serenity Valdez, adding a brutal chapter to their history here together in EAW! Just think of how Serenity went into her first Pain for Pride last year and won the Specialists Championship, just to come back around to the event a year later as the Empress of Elite with a future Universal Women’s Title shot at any time of her choosing! And Milli Banks has already begun to engrain her name in EAW history books as a star on the rise, who everyone is going to want to keep their eyes on!
Flannery McCoy: So very true! I believe it’s clear that they have both got so much to give to EAW, so much more to accomplish in these young careers of theirs and the impressive displays from both of them here tonight, I believe, speaks volumes for the both of them! But for now, this moment belongs to Milli Banks, the Specialists Champion, who can finally say that she saw this one through all the way from Justified Reckoning when she was screwed over by the Queen Bees – and at long last, she can say that she’s officially taken them all down!
( Milli, her bleeding arm held close, has her other arm used to raise the Specialists Championship as she looks over at the Queen Bees before exiting from the ring. On her own bleeding face, a grin forms as she undoubtedly feels accomplished after all she’s been through with the trio of women still at the ring. More medical officials come to check up on Milli but she’s looking past them to the sight in the ring and then proudly to the crowd, finding it in her to raise the Specialists Championship once again before the scene fades out. )
[INTERMISSION]
(The camera returns to ringside)
( https://i.imgur.com/WnFYcNk.png )
Bella Braxton: The following… IS THE MAIN EVENT OF NIGHT 2 FOR PAIN FOR PRIDE! IT IS A GLASS WALLLLZZZZ MATCH!!… AND IT IS FOR THE EAW UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPIONSHIP!!
(The crowd roars and rises to its feet in anticipation)
(‘Partition (Smearcase Trap Remix)’ by Beyoncé blasts through the speakers inside the stadium. The lights glow white hot and a sequence of them shine down on the top of the stage. Before long Kassidy Heart steps onto it. Dressed in all white the camera comes in close and pans up, from her boots all the way to her face, covered in a silver guard mask)
Bella Braxton: Making her way to the ring, first, the challenger… from Sydney, Australia… weighing in 141 pounds… SHE IS THE WINNER OF THE 2023 GRAND RAMPAGE MATCH!!… THE MAULERRR!!… KASSSSSIIIDDDDDYYYY HEEEEAAARRRTTTTT!!
(The reaction is loud but not not easily identifiable. She has her fair share of both admirers and haters. She begins strutting down the ramp and the lights follow her down)
Rich Russillo: A match long in the making, with plenty of blood and sweat already poured in the buildup to it, we are guaranteed to see more tonight. Kassidy Heart, the challenger to Bethany Blue’s Universal Women’s Championship makes her way to the ring. The winner of this year’s Grand Rampage with another opportunity to add to her illustrious career.
James Peters: Kassidy Heart has achieved just about all there is to achieve in this business. Over five years now in EAW she is perched near the top if not at the very top of the mountain. A great among greats.
(Kassidy stops at the bottom of the ramp. Her eyes move upwards towards the Glass Wallz structure. The mask is removed from her face and she enters the ring)
Persephone: Kassidy Heart will stop at NOTHING to achieve victory, there isn’t anything she won’t, anything she hasn’t already put her body through. And that’s how she’s grown into the legend she’s become.
Rich Russillo: The longest reigning Answers World Champion, the final Vixens World Champion… and tonight she looks to become a two time Universal Women’s Champion!
(The lights in the arena go out. Suddenly emergency sirens start to ring everywhere as the fans stand to their feet. A woman’s voice can be heard talking over the loudspeaker)
???: I will prevent disease whenever I can, for prevention is preferable to cure. I will remember that I remain a member of society, with special obligations to all my fellow human beings, those sound of mind and body as well as the infirm.
(It is the Hippocratic Oath that all Medical Doctors must swear and abide to. The woman’s voice slowly fades when a spotlight shines in the corner of the stage, there is one man standing there with guitar in hand as the fans start to cheer for he is David Lee Roth, former lead singer of Van Halen. She starts to rock out and begins to sing “Somebody Get Me A Doctor”)
James Peters: DAVID LEE ROTH IS HERE AND HE IS SINGING THE THEME SONG FOR DR. BETHANY BLUE, THE UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION!
Rich Russillo: HE DOESN’T LOOK A DAY OLDER THAN 68! AND HE CAN STILL DO THE SPLITS… WOW!
Persephone: I actually kind of like this but is he really hopping on stage, he might break a hip! At least there is a Doctor about to come out if he does.
Charlie Marr: That was actually quite funny, guess you’re not such a prude.
(As “Somebody Get Me A Doctor” continues to play throughout the arena, an ambulance slowly starts to ride out as there is a huge reaction of boos and some cheers. We see Dr. Bethany Blue standing at the top of the ambulance in her royal blue and sky blue wrestling attire, a shortcut brand new jacket with the title strapped around her waist)
Bella Braxton: And her opponent… from Miami, Florida… weighing in at 125 pounds… SHE IS THE UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPIONNNNN…… DR. BETHAAAANNNNNY BLUUUUUEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
(Another loud reaction mostly boos from her actions the last few months, but it’s not like Kassidy is very liked either, so there is a good amount of cheers there too. Bethany stands on the Ambulance as the phones are up and everyone is taking pictures. She slowly slides down the front and to the floor, before walking up to the stage and turning around lifting up her arms, the fireworks start to go off)
James Peters: An incredible entrance by our Universal Women’s Champion! It is her first Pain For Pride Main Event and we knew she was going to make the most of it!
Rich Russillo: Bethany loves the glitz and the glamour; this is a perfect moment for her!
(She walks over to David Lee Roth and starts to rock out with him as he continues to sing her entrance theme, she bumps fists and starts her way down the long ramp toward the ring)
Persephone: She looks more than ready. I will say that I have enjoyed the viciousness of Bethany since the attack was revealed. She is no Rexy, but she definitely has taken Kassidy to limits even she has never experienced.
Charlie Marr: I have to agree, love. Kassidy Heart has had to scramble a bit, she was definitely off these past few weeks, Bethany really got to her. I have faced both women in the past, I was Bethany’s first singles loss back in 2019 when she started off 10-0 in the semi-finals in the King of Elite tourney and since then she has become a World Champion and much as I hade to admit it, whether it was teaming with her at Territorial Invasion or all the fights we had prior, I saw it then she would reach these heights, this moment was always going to happen for her.
(Bethany makes her way slowly to the ring. She stops for a moment before taking everything in. She sees Kassidy Heart pacing, already inside as Bethany slowly steps in and unstraps the Universal Women’s Championship and raises it in the air for the entire arena to see and the reaction they give)
(After a few moments, the music ends, David Lee Roth leaves the stage to a huge ovation by the Nashville crowd. Bethany claps and then turns as both women stare at one another. The Good Doctor takes off her jacket and hands the title over to the referee who then hands it to the timekeeper at ringside)
(An ominous low tone begins to fill the stadium as the lights dim except for a large spotlight above the ring. The Glass Wallz structure begins to lower)
Rich Russillo: The Glass Wallz has taken on a few different forms throughout its history. As it lowers you will see its sides rest against the edge of the ring, weapons of all types hang down from it. There is meant to be no escape, however if we’ve learned anything from the past it doesn’t usually do a good job of that!
(The structure finishes lowering and the referee signals for the bell)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Rich Russillo: AND AT THE SOUND OF THE BELL KASSIDY HEART IS DARTING OVER TO THE EDGE OF THE RING, RUNNING UP TO THE SECOND ROPE, AND PULLING DOWN THE LOWEST HANGING WEAPON FROM THIS GLASS WALLZ STRUCTURE, A KENDO STICK!! SHE GRIPS IT IN HER HANDS AS SHE PLANTS HER FEET BACK TO THE FLOOR… TURNING AROUND AND SWINGING WILDLY, BUT THE ATTACK IS EVADED, THE CHAMPION DUCKS UNDER… THE MOMENTUM SENDS THE STICK FLYING OUT OF KASSIDY’S HANDS… AND FROM BEHIND BETHANY BLUE LEAPS ONTO HER… SHE WRAPS HER ARMS AROUND THE NECK OF KASSIDY AND FORCES HER INTO THE CORNER, UP AGAINST THE GLASS!!
James Peters: AND THE CHAMPION BEGINS RAINING DOWN PUNCHES, CLOSED FISTS RIGHT ACROSS THE CROWN OF KASSIDY’S HEAD!! AND KASSIDY IS TRYING TO CHANGE POSITIONS HERE, BETHANY HAS HER PINNED UP AGAINST THE TURNBUCKLE CHEST FIRST, BUT SHE’S TRYING TO SHIFT HER FEET, TWIST HER BODY SO THAT SHE’S FACING THE OTHER WAY AND GET THE CHAMPION BEHIND HER… WHICH SHE IS ABLE TO DO!! NOW BETHANY BLUE IS THE ONE IN A TRICKY SPOT AS SHE’S RIGHT UP AGAINST THE CORNER GLASS… KASSIDY TAKES A FEW STEPS OUT FROM THE CORNER… AND THEN RAMS HERSELF BACK INTO IT WHICH SENDS BETHANY BLUE INTO THE GLASS HARD… SHE DOES IT A SECOND TIME AND THIS TIME FREES HERSELF FROM THE CLUTCHES OF THE CHAMPION!! BUT NOW SHE NEEDS TO KEEP ON THE OFFENSIVE!!
Persephone: Yeah, I’m pretty sure she knows that, Peters. After all we’r—
Charlie Marr: I—
Persephone: DON’T YOU FUCKING DARE CUT ME OFF!! I’ve been putting up with you all night and… In fact, I would REALLY prefer it if you didn’t speak at all for the rest of this match.
Charlie Marr: Just when I thought we were getting somewhere… fine have it your way, you won’t hear from me again. The lack of my voice isn’t going to make Rexy any less washed, though.
Rich Russillo: KASSIDY ONTO THE FIRST ROPE HERE, LOOKING TO GRAB BETHANY WHO IS HUNG UP ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE HERE, BUT SHE’S ABLE TO KICK HER AWAY!! A SECOND ATTEMPT IS MADE BUT AGAIN SHE IS KICKED AWAY, THIS TIME HARDER AND IT TAKES HER OFF HER FEET!! KASSIDY IS UP TO HER FEET AS THE CHAMPION SETS HERSELF… LEAPING OFF THE TOP ROPE AND CONNECTING WITH A MISSLE DROPKICK!! THE IMPACT SENDS KASSIDY ACROSS THE RING, BUT BETHANY IS DOWN AS WELL, LANDING A BIT AWKWARDLY ON HER SIDE… THE HIGH OCTANE START TO THIS MATCH HAS COME TO A SCREECHING HALT AS BOTH WOMEN ARE DOWN!!
James Peters: And as they both start making it back to their feet, this is a great time to mention the atmosphere, guys! We haven’t had a chance to soak any of it in since the start of this match but THIS, THIS is what it’s all about! THIS is Pain For Pride! THIS is a true main-event atmosphere, these fans sat here— or should I say, standing here tonight because no one has sat down since that bell rang, they know what they’re about to witness tonight. Who they cheer for, who they root against… that doesn’t matter. There’s an acknowledgement from everyone here tonight that we’re about to witness two of the greatest competitors this company has ever seen go to absolute WAR!
Persephone: You know, when you’re right you’re right and as they both make it back to their feet you can hear the roar of the crowd… the energy for this is INSANE!! I just hope they’ll be able to deliver the type of brutality that this match has become famous for!
Rich Russillo: Both women are back to their feet and they meet in the center of the ring, foreheads clashing against each other!! A sort of unorthodox lockup here as each women tries to get the upper-hand! Bethany slips behind the challenger… TRIES LIFTING HER IN THE AIR but Kassidy isn’t having it, she grabs Bethany by the hair and forces her forward… AND NOW KASSIDY CHOMPS DOWN ON THE SIDE OF BETHANY BLUE’S NECK!! A SHRIEK ESCAPES THE MOUTH OF THE CHAMPION WHO IMMEDIATELY LETS GO OF KASSIDY… BUT SHE DELIVERS A KNEE TO THE BACK FOR GOOD MEASURE AND BETHANY GOES DOWN!! Kassidy again eyes that kendo stick on the far side of the ring and makes her way over to it, hoping to have better luck with it this time!
James Peters: Kassidy grabs a hold of it… SHE SWINGS AT BETHANY WHO IS BACK TO HER FEET… BUT AGAIN IT’S AVOIDED!! BETHANY SHOOTS HER LEG UP, A SNAP KICK THAT CATCHES THE FOREARM OF KASSIDY HEART… SHE LOSES HOLD OF THE KENDO STICK AS IT FLIES UP INTO THE AIR… AND THEN DOWN INTO THE CLUTCHES OF BETHANY BLUE WHO REARS BACK AND CRACKS IT OVER THE SKULL OF KASSIDY HEART!! KASSIDY STUMBLES BACK INTO THE ROPES AND NOW THE CHAMPION IS ON THE HUNT!! NOW SWINGING IT LIKE A BASEBALL BAT INTO THE RIBS OF HER CHALLENGER… A SECOND TIME AS SHE SWITCHES SIDES… AND THEN A THIRD SHOT RIGHT ACROSS THE MID-SECTION!!
Persephone: Kassidy is on her knees, clutching her stomach… the referee is hovering over Kassidy but is SHOVED away by the champion THAT’S RIGHT! This is Glass Wallz why is this idiot referee checking on Kassidy?!
Rich Russillo: BETHANY BLUE BEGINS THE ASSAULT AGAIN!! SHREDDING THAT KENDO STICK ACROSS AND AROUND THE BODY OF KASSIDY HEART UNTIL IT HAS ALL BUT DISINTEGRATED!! KASSIDY IS DOWN, HER BACK UP AGAINST THE GLASS… Bethany Blue makes her way to the nearest corner and makes her way up to the second rope, she reaches up and begins pulling down the weapons that are hung in that corner!! A steel chair and second kendo stick drop to the canvas… SHE REACHES UP AND TAKES THE THIRD WEAPON… A GLASS-ENDED SLEDGEHAMMER AND BRINGS IT DOWN WITH HER!!
James Peters: Kassidy has made it back to her feet but unbeknownst to her, Bethany Blue has glass sledgehammer in her hand!! SHE CHARGES AT KASSIDY WITH IT… BUT KASSIDY IS ABLE TO DUCK UNDER THE ATTACK!! BETHANY BLUE CONNECTS WITH NOTHING BUT GLASS AND THE HAMMER SHATTERS INTO PIECES… AND THE IMPACT OF THE WOOD CRACKS AND SHATTERS PART OF THE GLASS WALL!! AND NOW KASSIDY FROM BEHIND GRABS BETHANY AND SMUSHES HER FACE UP AGAINST THE GLASS, RUNNING IT BACK AND FORTH ACROSS THE CRACKS, SLICING UP THE LEFT SIDE OF HER NOSE AND CHEEK!!
Persephone: OH MY GOD OH MY GOD GUYS LOOK!! I THINK YOU CAN LITERALLY SEE PIECES OF BETHANY’S FLESH BEING LEFT ON THE SHARP EDGES OF THAT GLASS!! I KNOW I AT LEAST SEE SOME HAIR… AND A LOT OF BLOOD!!
Rich Russillo: AND A LOT OF BLOOD THERE CERTAINLY IS AS KASSIDY FINALLY LETS GO OF BETHANY… BETHANY TURNS TOWARDS THE CAMERA AND THE SCENE IS GRUESOME!!…
Persephone: UMM I THINK YOU MEAN BEAUTIFUL?!?!?!?!
Rich Russillo: THE SCENE IS GRUESOME!! THE LEFT SIDE OF BETHANY’S FACE IS TORN UP, BLOOD POOLING OUT… AND AGAIN FROM BEHIND KASSIDY!! THIS TIME WRAPS HER ARMS AROUND THE STOMACH OF THE CHAMPION AND PULLS HER UP INTO A GEMRAN SUPLEX!! ONTO THE PIECES OF BROKEN GLASS FROM THE SLEDGEHAMMER!! KASSIDY KEEPS IN THE BRIDGE AS WE GET OUR FIRST COVER OF THE MATCH!!
ONEEE!!… TWO— BARELY A TWO COUNT!!
James Peters: THE CHAMPION POPS OUT WITH RELATIVE EASE AND NOW PUSHES HER PALMS INTO THE CANVAS TO MAKR HER WAY BACK UP TO HER FEET UP AGAINST THE CORNER… BUT HERE COMES KASSIDY CHARGING… SHE LIFTS HER LEG… LOOKING FOR THE RAPTURE!! BUT BETHANY CATCHES HER!! THE CHAMPION CATCHES HER LEG… THROWS IT OVER HER SHOULDER AND LIFTS KASSIDY UP INTO A POWERBOMB POSITION!! SHE STRUTS AROUND THE RING WITH HER CHALLENGER AT HER MERCY… AND THEN THROWS HER INTO THE WALL!! THE SAME WALL THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN DAMAGED!! KASSIDY’S SKULL RICOCHET’S OFF THE GLASS… CRACKING IT EVEN MORE AND SHE LANDS IN-BETWEEN THE STRUCTURE AND THE ROPES, IN A VERTICAL POSITION!!
Persephone: AND WATCHING THIS REPLAY LOOK HOW KASSIDY’S HEA—
Rich Russillo: I’M SORRY BUT I’M GOING TO HAVE TO CUT YOU OFF PERSEPHONE, THE CHAMPION STILL ISN’T DONE!! SHE GRABS KASSIDY BY THE ARM… PULLS HER IN AND DELIVERS A FOREARM TO THE FACE, KASSIDY AGAIN FALLS BACK INTO THE GLASS HEAD FIRST!! NOW FORWARD… LEANING UP AGAINST THE ROPES, HER FEET REMAIN ON THE CANVAS, SANDWICHED BETWEEN THE RING ROPES AND THE GLASS… BUT I’M CERTAIN THERE IS NO PART OF KASSIDY HEART THAT KNOWS SHE’S A— THE TJD!! TEMPOROMANDIBULAR JOINT DYSFUNCTION!! BOOT MEETS JAW AND KASSIDY’S SKULL MEETS THE GLASS FOR A THIRD TIME!!…
Persephone: AND LOOK AT THE WALL!! THE SPIDER CRACKS, THERE ARE NOW DOZENS OF THEM CREATED FROM THE IMPACT OF KASSIDY’S HEAD HITTING THE GLASS OVER AND OVER, SOME EXTENDING TO THE CORNERS OF THE PANEL!!
James Peters: BETHANY HEAVES KASSIDY OVER THE ROPES AND INTO THE RING WHERE SHE GOES INTO THE COVER!!
ONEEE!!… TWOOO!!… BUT NO!! JUST TWO!!
Rich Russillo: Bethany rolls off of Kassidy and is up to her feet, Kassidy digs her left arm into the canvas and pushes herself over onto her stomach… AND LOOK AT THE BACK OF KASSIDY’S HEAD!!
Persephone: BLOOD AND GLASS ALL OVER!! TWISTED AND MATTED UP IN HER HAIR… AND NOW BETHANY GRABS A FISTFUL OF IT AS SHE PULLS HER BACK UP!!
Rich Russillo: A right hand sends Kassidy back into the ropes… the same that troubled her just moments ago… BUT SHE COMES BACK WITH A RIGHT HAND OF HER OWN!! THE CHAMPION SLIDES BACK ON THE CANVAS BEFORE CATCHING HER FOOTING AND LUNGES FORWARD WITH A SECOND RIGHT HAND… AND NOW KASS WITH A LEFT, OPEN HANDED SLAP THAT RAKES ACROSS THE RAW AND BLOODIED SIDE OF BETHANY BLUE’S FACE!! BETHANY DROPS HER HEAD AND CLENCHES HER FISTS, TRYING HER BEST TO ABSORB THE PAIN!!
James Peters: SHE SNAPS HER HEAD UP… SWINGS HER ARM TOWARD KASSIDY— BUT IS WALLOPED OVER THE HEAD WITH A STEEL CHAIR BY KASSIDY!! BETHANY GOES STIFF AND FALLS BACKWARDS… AND KASSIDY ISN’T DONE WITH THAT CHAIR!! SHE DRIVES IT DOWN INTO THE MID-SECTION OF THE CHAMPION ONE… TWO… THREE TIMES!! BETHANY REACTS THE BEST WAY THAT SHE CAN… ROLLING ONTO HER BACK, BUT NOW KASSIDY DOES THE SAME THING TO HER KIDNEYS… DRIVING THE CHAIR DOWN, PUTTING WEIGHT ON IT, OVER AND OVER AGAIN!!
Persephone: AND ONE LAST SHOT FOR GOOD MEASURE AS KASSIDY RAISES THE CHAIR HIGH ABOVE HER HEAD AND STRIKES IT DOWN ACROSS THE SPINE!! BETHANY WRITHES FROM THE STING, HER FACE LEAVING A BEAUTIFUL RED STREAK ACROSS THE CANVAS OF THE RING… IT DOESN’T GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS!!
Rich Russillo: I’M NOT ENTIRELY SURE BETHANY BLUE WOULD AGREE WITH YOU AT THE MOMENT! KASSIDY THROWS THE STEEL CHAIR TO THE SIDE AND GLANCES TOWARDS THE CORNER… SHE MAKES HER WAY OVER TO IT AND KEEPS HER EYES LOCKED ON BETHANY BLUE AS SHE STEPS ONTO THE TURNBUCKLE… SHE SETS HERSELF AS THE CHAMPION REMAINS DOWN… AND SHE LEAPS OFF… MAXX SOLARIS!! MAXX SOLARIS CONNECTS!! RIGHT ACROSS THE BACK OF BETHANY BLUE!! KASSIDY GETS HER ARM UNDER THE CHAMPION AND ROLLS HER OVER, A DOUBLE HOOK OF THE LEG AS THE REFEREE SLIDES IN POSITION TO COUNT!!
ONEEE!!… TWOOO!!… AND NO!! THE CHAMPION STAYS IN IT!!
James Peters: NOT ONLY IS THE CHAMPION STILL IN IT… LOOK AT THIS!! KASSIDY WAS SEATED NEXT TO BETHANY AFTER THE KICKOUT BUT NOW FINDS BETHANY’S ARM WRAPPED AROUND HER… BETHANY PULLS HER OVER… WHAT IS HER PLAN HERE?! MAKING HER WAY UP, STILL A HOLD OF KASSIDY… SHE NOW GRABS HER LEG, PULLING THE BOTH OF THEM UP… OH AND LOOK AT THE POSITION KASSIDY’S IN… WE KNOW WHAT’S COMING NOW!! BETHANY PLANTS HER STRONG FOOT AND THEN SPRINGS UP…GRADE C2!! BOTH WOMEN ARE NOW DOWN BUT BETHANY MANAGES AN ARM ACROSS THE CHEST OF KASSIDY!!
ONEEE!!… TWOOO!!… THR— KICK OUT!!
Persephone: WHERE DID THAT COME FROM?! BETHANY BLUE HAS COMPLETELY SHIFTED THE MOMENTUM OF THIS MATCH WITH THE SNAP OF HER FINGERS!! Bethany is up to her feet and is looking for something. There’s certainly no shortage of goodies around… she reaches down and picks up the wood handle from that glass sledgehammer! What is she going to do with that?!
Rich Russillo: It doesn’t seem like she has an intention of using it on Kassidy Heart! She holds it with both hands as she steps over to the Glass Wallz structure… and she begins hitting it into the glass! This on the wall that has already been cracked and weakened!
James Peters: Again and again she bashes that handle into the glass… into the crater that was formed by the skull of the champion! And finally it goes through! An opening has been created, and now pieces of the wall begin to fall away! Into the ring, onto the outside right in front of us!
Persephone: It looks like she’s making it big enough to step through, and she doesn’t need to put much effort in! The integrity of this side of the wall has been greatly compromised by the previous cracks and CHUNKS of it are coming off!
Rich Russillo: It’s right and front of us and it’s almost COMPLETELY GONE! Glass is everywhere, and now Bethany Blue is out of the ring! Kassidy has begun to crawl as well and she only now notices that the wall is no longer there, she locks eyes with her opponent… AND LOOK AT KASSIDY!! IT’S AS IF A FIRE HAS BEEN LIT UNDERNEATH HER!! SHE SCRAMBLES TO HER FEET, STILL SOMEWHAT ON ALL FOURS AND SPILLS OUT OF THE RING!! BETHANY IS THERE TO GREET HER BUT KASSIDY TOSSES HER INTO THE RING APRON… AND NOW ONTO OUR ANNOUNCE TABLE… BACK ONTO THE RING APRON… AGAIN ON OUR ANNOUNCE TABLE, AND IT APPEARS THAT THE NEXT CHAPTER OF THIS MATCH IS GOING TO TAKE PLACE ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE RING!!
James Peters: And now Kassidy Heart pulls up that apron! What could she be looking for that they won’t find hanging inside the ring?!… OH I THINK I HAVE MY ANSWER AS I SEE THE STEEL OF A LADDER BEGINNING TO PEEK THROUGH THE DARKNESS!! KASSIDY PULLS IT OUT AND LOOK AT THE SIZE OF IT!! THAT’S NO ORDINARY EIGHT OR TEN FOOT LADDER… IT’S ALMOST AS TALL AS THE GLASS WALLZ!! THAT LADDER MUST’VE TAKEN UP THE ENTIRE LENGTH OF THE FLOOR UNDERNEATH THE RING, I’M SURPRISED IT DIDN’T STICK OUT ON THE OTHER SIDE!!
Persephone: I’M SALIVATING IMAGINING WHAT COULD BE DONE OFF OF IT… KASSIDY ATTEMPTS TO SET IT UP BUT SHE’S CUT OFF, BETHANY BLUE IS BACK IN THE GAME AND SHE DELIVERS A FOREARM TO THE LUMBAR OF KASSIDY HEART’S SPINE!! The ladder falls, hanging precariously against the corner of the barricade… BETHANY BLUE WITH A SECOND SHOT!!
Rich Russillo: BETHANY GRABS KASSIDY BY HER HAIR AND SMACKS HER HEAD OFF THE ANNOUNCE TABLE… AND NOW A BACK SUPLEX OFF OF IT!! THAT LOWER SPINE PERHAPS NOW BECOMING A TARGET AREA FOR BETHANY BLUE!! KASSIDY DROPS TO A KNEE, HOLDING THAT AREA… BUT SHE’S QUICKLY BACK TO HER FEET COURTESY OF THE CHAMPION WHO WHIPS HER INTO THE RING POST AND AGAIN… KASSIDY GOES SPINE FIRST INTO IT, THE BACK OF HER HEAD AS WELL CAROMS OFF OF IT AND AGAIN SHE’S DOWN!!
James Peters: You mention the back Rich, but you can’t forget all of the head injuries that Kassidy has had throughout her career, and her head has been targeted A LOT as well during this match! Bethany Blue again over at our announce table… AND SHE BEGINS TAKING IT APART!! FIRST THE COVER, FOLLOWED BY OUR MONITORS AND PAPERS!! SHE STEPS OVER KASSIDY, TO THE LADDER, PULLING IT OFF THE BARRICADE AND NOW BEGINNING TO SET IT UP!!
Persephone: I DON’T KNOW WHAT BETHANY BLUE HAS IN MIND HERE, SHE ISN’T KNOWN FOR TAKING RISKS LIKE THIS, BUT PAIN FOR PRIDE OFTEN TAKES YOU OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE!! BUT KASSIDY FROM BEHIND, SHE’S UP TO HER FEET AND SHE STOMPS INTO THE BACK OF BETHANY BLUE’S KNEE… A VERSION OF THE PAINFULLY EVER AFTER!! AND BETHANY IMMEDIATELY GOES DOWN!!
Rich Russillo: AGAIN THE TIDES TURN IN THIS MATCH!! KASSIDY HAS BETHANY BY THE HEAD AND SHE’S BANGING IT INTO THE RING POST… OVER AND OVER!! I’VE LOST COUNT OF HOW MANY TIMES SHE’S DONE IT!! SHE LETS OUT A SCREAM WITH EACH ONE… WE MUST BE UP TO A DOZEN!! BETHANY WAS INITIALLY TRYING TO BLOCK BUT NOW HER ARMS HAVE GONE LIMP AT HER SIDE!!
James Peters: SHE TOSSES BETHANY DOWN TO THE FLOOR, AND NOW WHAT? IN FRONT OF OUR ANNOUNCE TABLE… THE LAST FEW MINUTES HAVE CERTAINLY GIVEN US A GREAT VIEW OF THE ACTION, BUT WHAT IS KASSIDY DOING?? SHE’S PICKING UP PIECES OF GLASS AND PUTTING THEM ON OUR TABLE, THE GLASS FROM THE WALL, PIECES OF ALL SIZE ARE SPREAD ACROSS OUR ANNOUNCE TABLE HERE!! AND NOW SHE GETS BETHANY BLUE BACK TO HER FEET AND THROWS HER ON TOP OF THE GLASS!!
Persephone: KASSIDY IS CLIMBING THE LADDER!! BUT THE ABUSE TO HER HEAD IN THIS MATCH MAY HAVE THROWN HER SENSES OUT OF WACK, AND THE DAMAGE TO HER LOWER SPINE IS MAKING THIS JOURNEY TO THE TOP UNBEARABLE, BUT SHE’S COMMITTED TO IT AND SHE ISN’T TURNING BACK!! A HALF DOZEN RUNGS LEFT TO GO BEFORE SHE REACHES THE TOP BUT SHE’S THERE!! FINALLY SHE’S THERE AND NOW SHE STEPS UP ALL THE WAY TO THE TOP… SETTING HERSELF… TWENTY FEET UP IN THE AIR, BETHANY BLUE SPRAWLED OUT ON THE ANNOUNCE TABLE!!
Rich Russillo: AAAAIIIRRRHHHEEAARRRTT!!— MISSES!! OH MY GOD!! OR BETTER YET I SHOULD SAY AVOIDED!! BETHANY BLUE ROLLED OFF THE TABLE AS KASSIDY HEART WAS LEAPING OFF AND THERE WAS NOTHING KASSIDY COULD DO ABOUT IT!! SHE WAS RESIGNED TO HER FATE AND CRASH LANDED INTO THE TABLE, INTO THE GLASS THAT SHE SET UP, THE GLASS THAT WAS MEANT TO PIERCE THE BACK OF BETHANY BLUE!!
Charlie Marr: What the fuck? There’s blood and sweat all over me!
James Peters: I’ve seen this table break more times than I can count but I don’t know if I’ve ever seen it EXPLODE like it just did! Pieces of it went flying everywhere! And the glass! Some of it went flying, some of it is stuck into the face, chest, and stomach of Kassidy Heart! She’s down and by all accounts she is OUT! Bethany Blue is down as well but beginning to stir!
Charlie Marr: attempting to clean himself up How has this happened? THERE ARE WALLS!!… THE WALLS ARE SUPPOSED TO KEEP THEM INSIDE!!
Rich Russillo: It’s nothing you haven’t had on you before, Charlie… you’re more equipped than anyone of us to handle it. In fact, you LOVE this stuff!
Charlie Marr: NOT WHILE I’M WEARING A SUIT!!
Persephone: Bethany Blue is trying to crawl away from the wreckage, but it isn’t the easiest task to accomplish! Everywhere she puts her hands she’s greeted by shards of glass… and there’s no way she’s been able avoid all of it! She must grin and bear it! She uses the ring to pull herself up and now it’s the matter of getting Kassidy back into the ring with her!
Charlie Marr: Is that why there’s a Z in Wallz? They aren’t real walls?
Rich Russillo: She has a hold of Kassidy’s arm and pulls her up… AND LORD!! YOU CAN SEE THE AFTERMATH OF KASSIDY’S ACCIDENT ON FULL DISPLAY HERE!! HER BODY IS COMPLETELY TORN UP!! DOZENS OF WOUNDS ACROSS HER FRONT, FROM THIGHS TO FACE, BLOOD TRICKLING OUT OF SOME AND POURING OUT OF OTHERS, SHE’S A COMPLETE MESS!! BETHANY NUDGES HER ONTO THE EDGE OF THE RING AND ROLLS HER UNDER THE ROPES… BUT LOOK AT THIS!! KASSIDY HAS SOME LIFE IN HER!! SHE’S MOVING SLOWLY, MAKING HER WAY TO THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE RING AS BETHANY BLUE STEPS IN BESIDE HER!!
James Peters: KASSIDY IS OVER AT THE ROPES NOW AND PULLING HERSELF UP, THE SIGHT THAT THIS IS!! SHE’S AT HER FEET… AND NOW SHE TURNS TO MEET BETHANY BLUE IN THE RING! THERE’S A LOOK ON BOTH OF THEIR FACES, IT’S SIMILAR… AND I HESITATE TO CALL IT A SMILE! ONE THING IS FOR SURE, IT ISN’T OUT OF RESPECT OR ADMIRATION!! KAS—
Persephone: BETHANY BLUE SPRINGS INTO THE AIR… THE REMEDY!! NO!! KASSIDY HEART PUSHES HER OFF!! BETHANY IS THRUSTED FORWARD BY THE CHAMPION BUT SHE’S ABLE TO CATCH HERSELF AND LAND ON HER FEET… SHE TURNS AROUND AND SEES KASSIDY MAKING A B-LINE FOR HER!!
Rich Russillo: GO TO GAWD… NO EVADED!! ONE REVERSAL AFTER ANOTHER HERE!! BETHANY SPINS KASSIDY HEART AROUND… ANOTHER ATTEMPT AT THE REMEDY AND THIS TIME IT CONNECTS, THE REMEDY CONNECTS LAYING KASSIDY HEART OUT!! BUT I DON’T THINK SHE’S FINISHED JUST YET.. SHE STILL HAS A HOLD OF KASSIDY HEART… SHE MAKES HER WAY TO HER FEET, KASSIDY’S FACE LOCKED BETWEEN HER ARMS… A SECOND REMEDY IS ON THE WAY!! EXCEPT IT ISN’T!! KASSIDY ABLE TO GET HER ARMS AROUND THE BACK OF BETHANY BLUE AND DELIVER A BACK DROP, DUMPING THE CHAMPION OUT OF THE RING!!
James Peters: I DON’T KNOW HOW KASSIDY STILL HAS HER WITS ABOUT HER, NOT JUST FROM THE MISSED AIRHEART OFF THE LADDER, BUT BEING HIT WITH THAT REMEDY AS WELL!! TO HAVE THE WHEREWITHAL TO REVERSE THE SECOND ONE IS ASTONISHING, AND NOW SHE’S UP ON HER FEET… LOOKING TO GREET HER ON THE OUTSIDE… SHE SPRINTS THROUGH THE ROPES… GOING FOR A SUICIDE DIVE AND CONNECTING WITH A SUICIDE DIVE!! BOTH WOMEN SPRAWLED OUT RIGHT IN FRONT OF US!!
Persephone: You mention how Kassidy is able to do all of this James, Kassidy’s tolerance for pain and for punishment is up there with— maybe it’s the best we’ve ever seen! And on a night like tonight it is elevated even higher, toss in the Universal Women’s Championship being on the line and I don’t know how these women are going to find a way to stop one another!
Rich Russillo: Kassidy is the first to show movement, she manages herself into a seated position right in front of me. The entire front of her body is now crimson, I don’t know if I’ve ever seen anything like it! She gets to her feet, getting Bethany Blue up with her and she rolls her into the ring! Kassidy hobbling over to the far side of the ring and into the corner where more weapons hang down at her disposal! Kassidy begins to pull them down! And this time each weapon is glass themed! First a glass rod which she gingerly places on the mat, second is a bag which I can only imagine is filled with glass shards, not that we need any more of them!
James Peters: AND THIRD IS A GLASS TABLE WHICH KASSIDY TAKES DOWN WITH HER, SETTING IT UP IN THE CORNER!! BETHANY BLUE BY THIS TIME HAS BEGUN TO STIR… BUT KASSIDY SWIFTLY PUTS AN END TO THAT WITH ANOTHER PAINFULLY EVER AFTER!! KASSIDY NOW DRAGGING BETHANY INTO THE CORNER AND SETTING HER UP AGAINST THE TABLE… KASSIDY NOW BACKING UP ACROSS THE RING INTO THE OPPOSITE CORNER!!… SHE COMES DARTING AT THE CHAMPION… THE RAPTURE!! AND THIS TIME IT DOES CONNECT… AND KASSIDY HEART MADE VERY SURE TO CONNECT WITH THE RIGHT SIDE OF BETHANY’S FACE, FORCING THE LEFT SIDE INTO THE GLASS… WHICH SHATTERS ON IMPACT!!
Persephone: THE ALREADY PUNCTURED AND SLASHED SIDE OF BETHANY’S FACE HAS SUFFERED EVEN MORE TRAUMA!! KASSIDY THROWS HER OUT OF THE CORNER, ONTO THE CANVAS AND GOES FOR THE COVER!!
ONEEE!!… TWOOO!!… THRR— AND STILL NO!! THE CHAMPION POPS HER SHOULDER UP!!
Rich Russillo: Kassidy exhales as she forces herself off of Bethany. She glances over at the table… noticing that only the top part that made contact with her boot and well— Bethany’s face is broken! She pulls it out of the corner and into the middle of the ring where she begins setting it up! Bethany has only managed to roll onto her stomach and Kassidy obliges her the rest of the way up! SHE DELIVERS A FOREARM TO THE BACK OF BETHANY’S HEAD… NOW ENCLOSES HER ARMS AROUND HER… LOOKING FOR CHANEL N°5… BUT NO!! BETHANY TRIES FIGHTING OUT OF IT!!
James Peters: SHE SENDS ELBOWS INTO THE SIDE OF KASSIDY’S HEAD… BUT KASSIDY IS UNCOMPROMISING, SHE’S DETERMINED TO GET BETHANY BLUE UP AND OVER AND SENT THROUGH THAT TABLE… BETHANY NOW THROWING HER HEELS INTO THE SHIN OF KASSIDY, AND THAT COMBINATION IS ENOUGH TO GET OUT OF HER CLUTCHES!! KASSIDY DROPS TO HER KNEES… OH BUT LOOK WHERE SHE IS!! HER HEAD IS HOVERING RIGHT OVER THAT TABLE!! AND BETHANY BLUE REALIZES IT!!
Persephone: KASSIDY TRIES AS QUICK AS SHE CAN TO GET BACK TO HER FEET.. BUT IT’S TOO LATE!! BETHANY BLUE VAULTS OFF THE CANVAS AND DELIVERS THE CONCUSSION PROTOCOL!! CONCUSSION PROTOCOL CONNECTS!! RIGHT ONTO THE TABLE!! IT CRACKS AND KASSIDY’S HEAD BOUNCES OFF IT BEFORE SHE FOLDS ONTO THE CANVAS!!
Rich Russillo: BETHANY BLUE FALLS BACK ON KASSIDY HEART HOOKING HER OUTSIDE LEG!!
ONEEE!!… TWOOO!!… THRREEE— BUT IT’S NOT OVER!! KASSIDY HEART LIFTS HER ARM AND FORCES HER SHOULDER OFF THE MAT!!
Rich Russillo: THAT WAS BETHANY’S BEST SHOT SO FAR, A MOVE THAT WOULD’VE PUT ANY OTHER OPPONENT DOWN FOR THE COUNT, BUT KASSIDY IS NO OTHER OPPONENT AND BETHANY BLUE SEEMS TO BE VERY AWARE OF THAT FACT, SEEMINGLY UNFAZED BY KASSIDY’S KICK OUT!! SHE’S ON HER FEET, SCOURING, RUMMAGING THROUGH THE WEAPONS AND GLASS INSIDE THE RING!! THE GLASS ROD CATCHES HER ATTENTION AND SHE PICKS IT UP, HOLDING IT IN HER HAND… KASSIDY HAS DUG HER EXTREMITIES INTO THE CANVAS AND IS TRYING TO PULL HERSELF UP AS BETHANY BLUE TAKES A SWING!!
James Peters: KASSIDY SEES IT OUT OF THE CORNER OF HER EYE HOWEVER, AND IS ABLE TO AVOID THE ATTACK!! SHE TAKES BETHANY DOWN WITH A TOE HOLD AND FOLLOWS IT UP WITH A FEW LUNGED KNEES INTO RIBS OF THE CHAMPION!! IT’S UNORTHODOX OFFENSE FOR SURE, BUT IT’S ALL KASSIDY CAN MUSTER AT THE MOMENT AS SHE TRIES TO RECOVER!! THE REPEATED DAMAGE DONE TO KASSIDY’S HEAD, NO DOUBT A PURPOSEFUL AND TARGETED PLAN BY THE CHAMPION!! COMBINED WITH HER HISTORY IT HAS KASSIDY IN A BAD WAY HERE!! SHE DELIVERS ONE LAST KNEE BEFORE SCOOTING HERSELF BACK UP AGAINST THE ROPES!!
Persephone: Kassidy is heaving breaths now, whether it’s out of exhaustion or a method of recovery is only for her to know! But she knows Bethany Blue won’t be down for long… she uses the ropes as aid to guide herself to her feet and welcome the champion… KASSIDY DUCKS UNDER THE ARM OF BETHANY… PUTTING HER OWN ARM AROUND THE SHOULDER OF THE CHAMPION… THE BRIGHTON FLY!! IT CONNECTS!! BUT KASSIDY IS UNABLE TO CAPITALIZE, SHE STILL NEEDS TIME TO RECOVER! THIS TIME AT LEAST, BETHANY SHOULD STAY DOWN A BIT LONGER!
Charlie Marr: And Peters to your point about the unorthodox offense… I think that’s what we’re gonna see from here on out. Far are we past the point where we’re going to be getting any elegant sequences, we’re in “try for a move and pray you hit it” territory… and I’ve been there plenty of times. Not that you were ever going to get much of the former in a match like this, Kassidy made it clear at the bell exactly what type of match this was going to be and it has gradually forced Bethany Blue out of the style she knows best.
Persephone: Umm… what happened to not talking??
Rich Russillo: Kassidy is once again on her feet and Bethany does the same on the far side… KASSIDY POSITIONS HERSELF BEHIND THE CHAMPION… AGAIN ANOTHER BLOW TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD… PERHAPS ANOTHER ATTEMPT AT CHANE— NO!! INSTEAD KASSIDY LEAPS ONTO THE SHOULDERS OF BETHANY… SHE SPINS AROUND… NORVINA LIGHTS!! THE CHAMPION’S HEAD SPIKES OFF THE CANVAS!! THE IMPACT AND MOMENTUM AS HER WOBBLY ON HER KNEES ALREADY, KASSIDY GRABS HER HEAD AND FORCES HER UP!!
James Peters: SHE LIFTS BETHANY BLUE UP… BUT THEN IMMEDIATELY BACK DOWN WITH A DEDEDE DDT!! SHE COVERS!!
ONEEE!!… TWOOO!!… THR—NO!! THE CHAMPION MANAGES THE KICK OUT, WE CONTINUE!!
James Peters: KASSIDY IS UP TO HER FEET AS QUICKLY AS HER BODY WILL ALLOW HER TO BE.. SHE BACKS UP INTO THE CORNER, WAITING FOR BETHANY TO GET BACK UP!! KASSIDY HAS HERSELF SET, SWAYING BACK AND FORTH WITH ANTICIPATION AS BETHANY BLUE MAKES IT BACK TO A VERTICAL BASE… AS SHE TURNS AROUND KASSIDY RUNS AT HER.. GO! TO! GAWDDD!!
Persephone: IS FOILED WITH A SHOT TO THE SKULL FROM THAT GLASS ROD!! BETHANY BLUE DID AN INCREDIBLE JOB HIDING THE WEAPON, IT DIDN’T BECOME VISIBLE TO ANYONE UNTIL SHE TURNED AROUND… IT CONNECTED FLUSH WITH THE HEAD OF KASSIDY HEART WHO IS DOWN ON IMPACT!! ALL THE MOMENTUM KASSIDY HEART HAD BUILT UP HAS INSTANTLY BEEN THWARTED!!
Rich Russillo: The glass rod has now become just more countless pieces and shards of glass that lay inside the ring and across the ringside area, you can all but guarantee each and every time one of these women hit the canvas, they’re getting pierced and stuck by this glass! BUT BETHANY BLUE STILL HAS A HANDFUL OF THEM… AND WHAT DOES SHE HAVE PLANNED WITH THEM?! SHE PULLS KASSIDY UP INTO A SITTING POSITION, AND SHOVES THE PIECES OF GLASS INTO HER FACE!! BETHANY BLUE IS RUBBING HER HAND ALL OVER THE FACE OF KASSIDY HEART AND THAT GLASS IS MAULING HER!! SHE HAS TO BE CUTTING UP HER OWN HAND HERE, BUT I DON’T THINK SHE QUITE CARES!!
James Peters: IT’S LIKE YOU SAID CHARLIE, THIS IS A SIDE OF THE CHAMPION I DON’T THINK I’VE EVER SEEN BEFORE!! KASSIDY… THIS MATCH… IT’S BROUGHT IT OUT OF HER!! BETHANY FINALLY LETS UP, ONLY BECAUSE I DON’T THINK SHE HAS ANY MORE SHARDS IN HER HAND AND SHE’S LEFT KASSIDY MORE OF A MESS THAN SHE ALREADY WAS!! AND BETHANY SEEMS CONTENT WITH HERSELF, AS IF SOME GEARS HAVE STARTED ROLLING IN HER HEAD… SHE KICKS KASSIDY A FEW TIMES IN THE BACK, TRYING TO GET HER OVER TO THE EDGE OF THE RING… BUT THIS IS DEAD WEIGHT HERE, KASSIDY ISN’T REACTING TO THOSE KICKS SO BETHANY HAS TO DRAG HER OVER TO IT!!
Persephone: She pushes Kassidy under the ropes, and now pulls her up… trying to get her in the position she was in earlier in the match! Trapped between the ropes and the structure of the Glass Wallz… THE MOTIONLESS NON-RESPONSIVE KASSIDY HEART IS NOT MAKING IT EASY FOR HER BUT EVENTUALLY SHE MANAGES AND WOW GUYS, LOOK AT THAT SIGHT!!
Rich Russillo: THE SIGHT IS A FRIGHTENING ONE!! KASSIDY HEART IS MOTIONLESS, PROPPED UP AGAINST THAT GLASS WALL, HER ENTIRE BODY IS BLOOD RED, HER EYES ARE GLAZED OVER… HER MOUTH SLIGHTLY AGAPE! THERE IS NO SIGN OF LIFE IN HER AT ALL BUT SHE IS TECHNICALLY STOOD UP!
Charlie Marr: It’s giving zombie.
Rich Russillo: Bethany Blue now rolls out of the ring and onto the outside, searching for something under the ring. She’s right in front of us and I just heard a maniacal laugh come out of the mouth of the champion, it seems she found what what she was looking for…
Charlie Marr: What the hell is that?
James Peters: It looks to be some sort of hammer..
Persephone: IT’S A REFLEX HAMMER, IDIOT CHARLIE… AND IT’S THE BIGGEST ONE I’VE EVER SEEN!! SHE PULLED IT OUT OF A BAG THAT I CAN ONLY ASSUME HAS OTHER MEDICAL SUPPLIES IN IT, FOR NOW SHE’S ONLY INTERESTED IN THE HAMMER AND SHE BRINGS IT IN THE RING WITH HER!! IT’S NO SECRET TO ANYONE WHAT SHE HAS IN MIND HERE, SHE MARCHES TOWARDS KASSIDY HEART, REARS HER ARM BACK AND SWINGS IT DIRECTLY AT HER SKULL— BUT IT DOESN’T LAND!! KASSIDY HEART SLUMPS FORWARD ACROSS THE TOP ROPE, AVOIDING AN ATTACK THAT SHE DIDN’T EVEN KNOW WAS COMING!!
Rich Russillo: THE HAMMER HITS THE GLASS, AND AGAIN SPIDER CRACKS RACE THEIR AWAY ACROSS THE ENTIRE PANEL… AND FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THIS MATCH A BIT OF FRUSTRATION CAN BE SEEN ON THE FACE OF BETHANY BLUE! SHE HEADS OUT OF THE RING AGAIN AND GOES DIGGING THROUGH THAT BAG AT RINGSIDE WHERE SHE PULLS OUT A ROLL OF DUCT TAPE!!
Charlie Marr: Giant hammers and duct tape? What kind of medical bag is this???
James Peters: She brings the tape inside the ring and makes her way towards Kassidy… she pushes her back up against the wall.
Bethany Blue: YOU’RE GONNA STAY THIS TIME!
James Peters: She screams right in Kassidy’s face as she rips off a big piece of that tape, pinning Kassidy’s arm up against the glass and applying it ove— KASSIDY HEART IS UP, SHE’S ALERT… AND SHE BITES DOWN ON THE BICEP OF THE CHAMPION!! BETHANY BLUE CAUGHT COMPLETELY OFF GUARD!! WITH HER ONE FREE ARM SHE TRIES TO ATTACK KASSIDY BUT KASSIDY BLOCKS AND GRABS A HOLD OF THE ARM!! SHE RELEASES THE BITE IN ORDER TO GRAB BETHANY’S OTHER ARM AND SHE SNAPS HER HEAD FORWARD, MEETING BETHANY’S WITH HER OWN!! A SECOND HEADBUTT AND SHE’S ABLE TO GET SOME DISTANCE, MAKE HER WAY THROUGH THE ROPES AND BACK INTO THE RING!!
Persephone: BETHANY COMES CHARGING AT HER AGAIN BUT KASSIDY LUNGES WITH A THIRD HEADBUTT AND THIS TIME THE CHAMPION IS TAKEN OFF OF HER FEET!! KASSIDY HEART HAS YET AGAIN FOUND MORE LIFE IN THIS MATCH!! BETHANY BLUE HOLDS HER ARM OUT FOR THE ROPES TO GET HERSELF UP, BUT KASSIDY GETS HER TO HER FEET FIRST… BETHANY TRIES TO TAKE ADVANTAGE BUT KASSIDY SWATS HER AWAY… A KICK TO THE MID-SECTION SENDS BETHANY BACKPEDALING INTO THE CORNER… AND THE CHALLENGER STAYS ON THE OFFENSIVE!!
Rich Russillo: KASSIDY RUNS INTO BETHANY WITH A CLOTHESLINE AND THEN PULLS HER IN… SHE TURNS THE CHAMPION AROUND SO THAT THEY’RE FACING BACK TO BACK AND HOOKS HER ARMS… PULLING HER UP… SHIFTING THE CHAMPION TO HER RIGHT SIDE… AND THEN DROPPING DOWN… SPIRITUAL GIVER!! CONTORTING THE SPINE OF BETHANY BLUE!! THE CHAMPION IMMEDIATELY GOES TO TEND TO THAT AREA AS SHE JOLTS AROUND IN PAIN ON THE CANVAS, BUT KASSIDY HEART ISN’T LETTING HER HAVE A MOMENT!! WITH TWO FISTFULS OF HAIR SHE PULLS BETHANY BLUE UP TO HER FEET… SHE HAS A HOLD OF HER RIGHT ARM AND STRETCHES IT OUT AS THEY MAKE THEIR WAY INTO THE CORNER!!
James Peters: KASSIDY CLIMBS UP TO THE TOP ROPE, IF SHE’S GOING FOR WHAT I THINK SHE’S GOING FOR THIS WOULD USUALLY BE HER LEAPING ONTO THOSE ROPES BUT THE ENERGY JUST ISN’T THERE!! WITH THE ARM OF THE CHAMPION STRETCHED SHE NOW JUMPS OFF THOSE ROPES… KING’S REQUIEM!! BOTH OF KASSIDY’S KNEES DRIVEN DOWN INTO THE ARM OF BETHANY BLUE!! HEAD, BACK, ARMS… THE CHALLENGER WITH A METHODICAL ATTACK OF THE WHOLE BODY!!
Persephone: BETHANY BLUE HOLDS HER ARM CLOSE TO HER BODY AS SHE USES THE OTHER ONE TO TRY AND PUSH AWAY FROM THE CHAMPION WITH THE OTHER!! KASSIDY HEART GOES TO GRAB THAT FREE ARM BUT BETHANY KICKS IT AWAY!! A SECOND ATTEMPT IS MADE BUT IT IS AGAIN KICKED AWAY… KASSIDY NOW FOR A THIRD TIME APPROACHES THE CHAMPION… THIS TIME GOING FOR THE LEFT LEG… BUT BETHANY STICKS THE RIGHT ONE OUT AND CATCHES KASSIDY HEART IN THE KNEE, DROPPING HER!! AND NOW WITH SOME CLEAN AIR AND SPACE TO OPERATE, BETHANY BLUE CONTINUES TO PULL HERSELF OVER TO THE CORNER!!
Rich Russillo: That attack to the knee isn’t keeping Kassidy down for long, she’s already on her knees and shaking it out a few times as Bethany finally reaches the ropes! She raises her left arm above her head, grips it around the second rope and PULLS herself up, barely making it to her feet and leaning back against the glass… the same glass Kassidy Heart was up against just a few minutes ago… how the tides have turned since then! AND HERE COMES KASSIDY HEART SPRINTING TOWARDS BETHANY BLUE!! OH MY GOD!! GO TO GAWD!! SHE GOT IT!! GO TO GAWD CONNECTS AND IT SENDS BOTH WOMEN THROUGH THE GLASS AND ONTO THE OUTSIDE!!
James Peters: BOTH WOMEN ARE LAID OUT ON THE OUTSIDE, BUT THERE IS STIRRING FROM THE CHALLENGER!! TWO OF THE FOUR GLASS WALLZ HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY TAKEN DOWN!! KASSIDY HEART HAS TRIED TO HIT THE GO TO GAWD ALL MATCH, THE TRIBUTE TO HER LOVE, TO DEDEDE AND ON THE THIRD ATTEMPT SHE WAS FINALLY ABLE TO LAND IT AND IN EMPHATIC FASHION!!… THROUGH THE WALL.. THROUGH THE GLASS!! AND MY EYES CAN’T BELIEVE WHAT I’M SEEING!! KASSIDY HEART IS UP!! KASSIDY HEART IS ON HER FEET!! IT’S NOTHING SHORT OF SUPERHUMAN!!
Persephone: KASSIDY WITH A HOLD OF BETHANY BLUE’S BOTTOMS GETS HER TO HER FEET… PIECES OF RED STAINED GLASS CASCADE OFF HER BODY, SHE ROLLS HER INTO THE RING… FOLLOWS BEHIND, GETS BETHANY ONTO HER BACK AND HOOKS THE LEG!!
ONEEE!!… TWOOO!!… THREEE— SHOULDER UP!! THE SHOULDER IS UP!!
Rich Russillo: IT WAS A DEFIANT KICK OUT AS WELL, ONE THAT FORCES KASSIDY HEART OFF OF HER… AND NOW BOTH WOMEN ARE DOWN!! THE ADRENALINE THAT KASSIDY HEART HAS BEEN RUNNING OFF OF SEEMS TO HAVE COMPLETELY LEFT HER BODY!! BOTH WOMEN SPEN—
Charlie Marr: Uhhh… guys?
(With the weight distribution of the Glass Wallz now uneven, the structure begins to sway and lean forward against the ring post. The audience takes notice and a large murmur is formed amongst them)
Rich Russillo: OH NO!! THE TWO ADJACENT SIDES THAT HAVE BEEN BROKEN THROUGH HAVE LEFT THE GLASS WALLZ WITH A VULNERABILITY!! IT’S LEANING FORWARD AND IF THE BOTTOM OF IT SLIPS OUT FROM THE EDGE OF THE RING, IT’S GOING TO—
(As if on cue the pressure created from the leaning causes the bottom of the Glass Wallz to slip out. The structure lands on the outside of the ring, the impact to the floor causing cracks to form all up and down within it. It leans forward, rebounds off the ropes and sways back…)
James Peters: OH NO NOT INTO THE CROWD!!
(But it comes forward again, and this time the momentum causes it to hit the ring post with force forming even more cracks in the glass. Those cracks begin to break off into pieces and slivers, much of the top half begins raining down glass of all sizes into the ring and burying the two competitors underneath)
James Peters: I’VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS!! THE REFEREE IS IN THE RING, KNELT DOWN, HANDS ON HEAD AS GLASS FALLS LIKE A SNOWSTORM INTO THE RING!! IT’S OVER WITHIN SECONDS BUT MY GOD THE DAMAGE THAT’S BEEN DONE!! ONLY THE BOTTOM HALVES OF TWO WALLS REMAIN ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE RING!! KASSIDY HEART AND BETHANY BLUE BENEATH SO MUCH GLASS YOU CAN BARELY SEE THEM!!
Persephone: KASSIDY IS THE FIRST TO MOVE, HER ARM SIFTING THROUGH THE GLASS AS SHE TRIES TO CREATE A BARE SPOT ON THE RING CANVAS TO PUT WEIGHT ON AND PUSH HERSELF UP!! THIS HAS NOW EVOLVED INTO A GLASS SHARDS MATCH ON STEROIDS!! BETHANY BLUE IS STILL DOWN FROM THAT GO TO GAWD THROUGH THE WALL BUT I CAN BEGIN TO SEE MOVEMENT ON THE GLASS PILE THAT COVERS THE BODY OF THE CHAMPION SO SHE MUST BE STIRRING AS WELL!!
Rich Russillo: I’m sure there are new cuts that have formed on the body of Kassidy Heart but I’m unable to see them. There is SO MUCH blood all over her, both fresh and dried… she leans against the corner as Bethany Blue continues the long and arduous process of making it back to her feet! The toll this has taken on both women is now SO CLEAR to see! Beyond tired, beyond exhausted… BUT WE MUST HAVE A WINNER AND KASSIDY NEEDS THAT TO BE HER… SHE RUNS AT BETHANY… BUT WHATEVER ATTACK SHE MAY HAVE HAD PLANNED IS FENDED OFF WITH AN UPPERCUT BY THE CHAMPION!!
James Peters: NOW IT’S BETHANY’S TURN TO GO AFTER KASSIDY… AN ELBOW SENT RIGHT INTO THE NOSE OF HER CHALLENGER… AND NOW WITH SOME DISTANCE BETWEEN THE TWO BETHANY COCKS HER FIST BACK AND EXPLODES HER FIST FORWARD… CODE BLUE!!
Persephone: BUT KASSIDY HAS IT SCOUTED… SHE PUTS HER OWN HANDS UP TO HER CHEST IN ORDER TO BLOCK THE PUNCH… AND NOW WITH A HOLD OF BETHANY’S HAND KASSIDY TRIES TO PRY HER FINGERS OUT OF A FIST… BETHANY TRIES TO FIGHT IT BUT IT SEEMS LIKE A FUTILE EFFORT, KASSIDY IS USING BOTH OF HER HANDS HERE AND SHE’S ABLE TO STRAIGHTEN OUT THE INDEX AND MIDDLE FINGER AND THE MAULER CHOMPS DOWN!! BETHANY DROPS TO A KNEE AS KASSIDY ADDS MORE PRESSURE TO THE BITE!! BETHANY NEEDS TO FIND A WAY TO GET KASSIDY TO RELEASE THE BITE!! SHE TRIES SWEEPING THE LEG OF KASSIDY BUT IT ISN’T AN EASY TASK TO MANAGE WITH ALL OF THE GLASS INSIDE OF THE RING!!
Rich Russillo: KASSIDY SENDS KICKS INTO THE MID-SECTION OF BETHANY IN AN ATTEMPT TO WEAR HER DOWN EVEN MORE!! BETHANY CAN’T REACH MOST OF KASSIDY WITH HER FREE HAND, THOUGH SHE MAKES AN ATTEMPT, HER LEGS ARE THE ONLY THING WITHIN REACH BUT IN THE POSITION BETHANY FINDS HERSELF IN THE ATTACKS TO THEM ARE USELESS!! SHE BRINGS HER ARM BACK DOWN TO HER SIDE… OH BUT WHAT’S THIS?! SOMETHING HAS CAUGHT BETHANY’S ATTENTION AND SHE’S FEELING FOR SOMETHING UNDER THE GLASS… IT’S THAT MEDICAL REFLEX HAMMER!! SHE PULLS IT OUT FROM BENEATH THE WRECKAGE… KASSIDY ATTEMPTS TO SHIFT HER POSITIONING TO AVOID BEING ATTACKED BUT SHE SENDS IT INTO KASSIDY’S KNEE… AND IT HAS PROVED TO BE A MUCH MORE SUCCESSFUL EFFORT THAN USING HER HANDS AS KASSIDY RELEASES THE BITE IMMEDIATELY!!
James Peters: BETHANY IS TO HER FEET… KASSIDY HAS HER BACK TURNED FOR THE MOMENT BUT SHE TURNS BACK AS BETHANY BALLS UP HER FIST ONCE AGAIN… CODE BLUE!! AND THIS TIME IT CONNECTS UNINTERRUPTED RIGHT TO THE CHEST!! KASSIDY SLUMPS INTO THE ARMS OF BETHANY BLUE… WHO ISN’T DONE YET!! SHE TRAPS KASSIDY’S ARM BEHIND HER BACK AND LIFTS HER OFF HER FEET… LEGS AROUND BACK, HEAD UNDER ARM!!… SHE MARCHES INTO THE CENTER OF THE RING DEFIANTLY… WHIPLASH!!!!!
Persephone: OH MY GOD SHE GOT IT!!
Rich Russillo: BETHANY BLUE DELIVERS WHIPLASH TO KASSIDY HEART!! THE CHAMPION DOES LAND ON THE PILE OF GLASS INSIDE THE RING AS WELL BUT SHE HAS ENOUGH LEFT IN THE TANK TO IMMEDIATELY GO INTO THE PIN, THIS IS IT!! IN FRONT OF THE WORLD AT PAIN FOR PRIDE BETHANY BLUE HAS GONE THROUGH HELL AND BACK TO RETAIN HER UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPIONSHIP!!
ONEEE!!… TWOOO!!… THREEEE!!
—
Rich Russillo: NO SHE HASN’T!! KASSIDY HEART HAS KICKED OUT!!
James Peters: UNBELIEVABLE!! ABSOLUTELY UNBELIEVABLE!! WE SPOKE EARLIER IN THE MATCH ABOUT KASSIDY’S RESILIENCE, HER ABILITY TO ABSORB PAIN BETTER THAN ANY OTHER ELITIST IN THE HISTORY OF EAW, BUT THIS IS A NEW LEVEL!!
Persephone: BETHANY BLUE IS OFF OF KASSIDY, ROLLED OVER ONTO HER SIDE, BEING SHREDDED BY GLASS AS SHE DOES SO, BUT THAT’S THE LEAST OF HER WORRIES RIGHT NOW!! THAT WAS A LETHAL ONE TWO COMBINATION FROM THE CHAMPION, ONE OF THOSE MOVES WOULD BE ENOUGH TO FALL ANY OPPONENT, LET ALONE BOTH OF THEM… AND YET KASSIDY HEART FOUND A WAY TO STAY IN THIS MATCH!!
Rich Russillo: Bethany Blue has managed to make it onto her knees, she lifts her torso and puts her hands on her thighs as she takes in a deep breath. The question has to be asked, was that her best shot? Does she have anything left?!
James Peters: I THINK THE SHIFT IN EXPRESSION MIGHT GIVE US THAT ANSWER, RICH!! AFTER SHE LET OUT THAT DEEP BREATH A WICKED SMILE CURLED ACROSS THE FACE OF THE CHAMPION, AN IDEA, A LIGHTBULB GONE OFF INSIDE HER HEAD… SHE PULLS HERSELF TO HER FEET AND GOES TO COLLECT KASSIDY HEART, GETTING ONE HAND UNDER HER HEAD AND THE OTHER UNDER THE STRAP OF HER ATTIRE TOP… A SOUND ESCAPES HER MOUTH AS SHE PULLS KASSIDY UP TO HER FEET, A CROSS BETWEEN A SHRIEK AND A GROAN… SHE ADDRESSES KASSIDY WITH A KNEE INTO THE MID-SECTION BEFORE PLACING HER HEAD UNDER HER ARM… AND LIFTS HER UP!!
Persephone: AND WE KNOW WHAT THIS IS GOING TO BE!! WE KNOW WHAT SHE’S GOING FOR!! THE ULTIMATE MOVE IN HER ARSENAL!! FLAT-LINE!!
Rich Russillo: BUT KASSIDY HEART!! KASSIDY HEART IS TRYING TO WIGGLE HER WAY OUT OF IT… SHE’S FLAILING HER LEGS, MAKING IT INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT FOR THE CHAMPION TO SET AND STABLE HERSELF, KASSIDY HEART KICKS HER LEGS OUT TOWARDS THE ROPES AND IT PULLS BETHANY IN THAT DIRECTION!! KASSIDY NOW WRAPPING HER FEET AROUND THE BOTTOM ROPE!!… BETHANY BLUE IS TRYING HER DAMNDEST TO PULL HER AWAY BUT I DON’T THINK IT’S GOING TO WORK!! KASSIDY HEART, AT LEAST FOR NOW, HAS FOUND SAFETY!!
James Peters: BUT THE CHALLENGER KASSIDY HEART NOW FINDS HERSELF IN A VERY TRICKY SITUATION!! BETHANY RELENTS AND RELEASES HER BUT KASSIDY IS PRONE, HOLDING ONTO THOSE ROPES WITH NO PROTECTION… BETHANY GOES FOR HER, PLACING HER ARMS UNDERNEATH THOSE OF KASSIDY TO GAIN MORE LEVERAGE AND PULL HER AWAY, PERHAPS INTO A BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX… BUT A HEADBUTT TO THE CHAMPION!! A SECOND HEADBUTT!!… AND NOW A THIRD AND IT IS THE THIRD HEADBUTT THAT BRINGS BETHANY BLUE OFF HER FEET!! KASSIDY REMOVES HERSELF FROM THE ROPES… AND NOW SHE THROWS HERSELF ON TOP OF THE CHAMPION!!
Persephone: SHE ISN’T DONE ATTACKING THE HEAD OF BETHANY BLUE, AND SHE ISN’T DONE USING HER OWN HEAD TO DO IT… SHE DELIVERS A FOURTH HEADBUTT!! A FIFTH!! SIXTH!! SEVENTH!! KASSIDY HEART WITH AN ONSLAUGHT OF HEADBUTTS, NO REGARDS FOR HER OWN HEALTH AND SAFETY HERE!! WE’RE UP TO TEN AND WE STILL AREN’T FINISHED!! THE BLOOD, I DON’T KNOW IF IT’S BETHANY’S, KASSIDY’S OR A MIX BETWEEN THE TWO BUT IT GOES FLYING WITH EVERY HEADBUTT THAT’S DELIVERED… AND NOW A FLURRY, ONE AFTER ANOTHER, CONSECUTIVELY!!…
Rich Russillo: IN A MATCH THAT HAS DELIVERED SO MUCH BRUTALITY THIS MIGHT BE THE WORST OF IT!! HEADBUTT AFTER HEADBUTT!! AND AT LONG LAST FINALLY A FINAL ONE, FOLLOWED BY A SHRILLING SCREAM!! HOW KASSIDY HEART HASN’T MANAGED TO KNOCK HER OWN SELF OUT I’LL NEVER KNOW BUT BETHANY BLUE’S ARMS HAVE GONE SLACK, THEY ARE SPRAWLED OUT ON EITHER SIDE OF HER!! KASSIDY PUSHES HER FOREARM ACROSS THE FACE OF BETHANY, PRESSING ALL OF HER WEIGHT DOWN AS MERCIFULLY THE REFEREE DROPS TO COUNT!!
ONEEE!!… TWOOO!!… THREEE!!
Rich Russillo: THERE IS STILL LIFE IN THE CHAMPION!!
James Peters: AND IT’S NOW KASSIDY HEART’S TURN TO FEEL THE DESPAIR!! KASSIDY HEART THREW ALL CAUTION TO THE WIND AND USED HER HEAD AS A WEAPON IN A WAY I’VE NEVER SEEN HER USE IT BEFORE!! DOZENS OF HEADBUTTS…IMAGINE BEING HIT OVER THE HEAD REPEATEDLY WITH A STEEL CHAIR, THAT’S WHAT IT IS AKIN TO, BUT IT STILL WASN’T ENOUGH!! HOW KASSIDY HERSELF IS ABLE TO MOVE IS MIRACULOUS TO ME, THE KICK OUT FROM BETHANY BLUE IS SOMETHING ELSE ENTIRELY!!
Persephone: KASSIDY IS ON HER FEET!! SHE TAKES THE ARM OF BETHANY BLUE AND ROLLS HER ONTO HER STOMACH WE REACHED DESPERATION STAGES LONG AGO BUT IN THE LAST FEW MINUTES IT’S BEEN KICKED INTO OVERDRIVE, AS MUCH AS I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THIS CONTINUE, IT IS SO VERY OBVIOUS THAT THIS CAN’T GO ON MUCH LONGER!!
Rich Russillo: What’s Kassidy doing?
Charlie Marr: :whoa:
James Peters: SHE’S SHOVING SHARDS OF GLASS INTO THE SOLE OF HER BOOT!!
Persephone: KASSIDY HEART SIFTING THROUGH THE THOUSANDS OF PIECES OF GLASS IN THE RING, CHOOSING THE BIGGER PIECES AND STICKING THEM INTO THE BOTTOM OF HER BOOT!! SHE KNOWS THE MOMENT IS UPON US, UPON HER!! SHE NEEDS TO END THIS NOW!! AND WITH ABOUT A DOZEN GLASS SHARDS STICKING OUT OF HER BOOT SHE SKIPS OVER TO BETHANY BLUE WHO HAS BARELY MOVED SINCE THE KICK OUT… SHE DROPS DOWN GRABS THE ARM!!
Rich Russillo: NOW TRAPPING IT BETWEEN HER LEGS!! SHE GRABS THE OTHER ARM AND PULLS IT OVER, VERY LITTLE RESISTANCE BEING SHOWN BY THE CHAMPION, THANK U, NEXT IS LOCKED IN!! AND NOW STOMPS, KICKS WITH THAT GLASS STUDDED BOOT DELIVERED TO THE FACE AND HEAD OF BETHANY BLUE!! KASSIDY IS UNRELENTING, AGAIN AND AGAIN SHOVING THE BOOT INTO KASSIDY’S HEAD!!
James Peters: THE GLASS IS PUSHING INTO THE HEAD OF BETHANY BLUE, CARVING UP HER FACE AND HEAD!! KASSIDY CONTINUES TO REAR BACK THE SUBMISSION AS SHE UNLOADS THE STOMPS BUT I DON’T KNOW IF THERE’S ANY REASON TO… BETHANY BLUE IS OUT, SHE’S GONE!! SHE WAS ALREADY IN A HORRIBLE WAY AFTER THE HEADBUTTS BUT THESE GLASS-AIDED STOMPS HAVE COMPLETELY DONE HER IN, SHE’S COMPLETELY OUT… SHE ISN’T GOING TO BE ABLE TO VERBALLY SUBMIT ON HER OWN IF EVEN SHE WANTED TO!!
Persephone: THE REFEREE IS GOING TO HAVE TO MAKE A CALL HERE!! HE’S RIGHT UP IN THE FACE OF BETHANY BLUE NOW AND HE CAN TELL THERE’S NO LIFE, NO LIGHT IN IT!! KASSIDY NOW SLIDING HER BOOT ACROSS THE FACE RATHER THAN STOMPING ON IT!!
Rich Russillo: IT’S OVER!! THE REFEREE SIGNALS TO THE RINGSIDE AREA TO RING THE BELL!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Rich Russillo: KASSIDY HEART IS THE NEW UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION!!
(Kassidy Heart keeps the hold applied until the final ding of the bell. ‘Partition (Smearcase Trap Remix)’ begins to blast throughout the stadium. Once finally released, Kassidy collapses backwards onto her back)
Bella Braxton: Here is your winner… AND THE NEWWWW EAW UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION!!… KASSSSIIIIDDDDYYYY HEEEEEAAAARRRRRRRTTTTTTTTT!!
(Kassidy forces herself into a seated position as she’s awarded the Universal Women’s Championship. The referee begins sweeping glass out of the ring using his feet as other ringside personnel enter the ring to check on Bethany Blue.)
Rich Russillo: We live and work in a business of hyperbole, but I don’t think I’m at all being hyperbolic when I say what I’m about to say. That was a WAR, an ABSOLUTE WAR! Not only in terms of its action but the brutality of it all as well. At times stomach turning, disg—
Persephone: IT WASN’T STOMACH TURNING, IT WAS AMAZING!! NOW THAT’S A MATCH!!
Charlie Marr: I’m still mad about the walls.
James Peters: The wounds of both women on full display, and it’s going to be some time before we see them fade away. This was a match and a moment that’s going to stay with everyone who witnessed it for a very long time to come.
(More medical personnel file out from behind the curtain and make their way down the stage and into the ring, as does Bethany Blue’s husband, and new Answers World Champion, Adam Lucas)
Rich Russillo: And what a 24 hours it’s been for Adam Lucas, the ultimate high of last night, dethroning Jake Smith to become the Answers World Champion and then this tonight. Bethany Blue, I mean what more can you say? It isn’t enough to throw out the cliche’s of how well she fought, quite frankly, after that performance tonight no words will do it justice. An all-time performance from an all-time performer.
(Kassidy Heart is barely up to her feet, she has the Universal Women’s Championship in her hand and she slowly and gingerly drops down out of the ring. She raises it high above her head as fireworks begin to blast off into the sky.)
James Peters: And as true as that all is, tonight is Kassidy Heart’s night! Kassidy Heart is back at the top! The top woman in EAW! And regardless of what you think of her, you can’t deny that she deserves it, that she’s earned it…
(Fireworks continue shooting off, lighting up the sky behind Kassidy Heart)
Rich Russillo: WHAT A NIGHT THIS HAS BEEN WHAT A TWO NIGHT THIS HAS BEEN… AND TO THINK WE’RE STILL NOT DONE!! ONE FINAL NIGHT TO GO!! I am Rich Russillo, for Persephone, James, I guess Charlie, and the rest of the commentary teams tonight… OUR SINCEREST THANK YOU for joining us!
(Kassidy lowers the championship over her shoulder. The final shot is a split screen, Kassidy Heart on the left, a grimacing grin on her face as she glares down the ramp and into the ring, exhaustion takes her down to a knee. The other side shows what’s happening inside the ring. About a dozen medical personnel surrounding Bethany Blue staring at the sky, a look of concern on the face of Adam Lucas)
(The camera fades out)
