(EAW Logo Flashes)
(The opening shot is that of the beautiful city, Orlando, Florida. An aerial view shows it going over Downtown and the huge Spiderman on the side of the Citibank building, the famous Church Street Station as it then pans over the I-4 into International Drive where Universal Studios, Sea World and the new Edge theme park being built by the Orange County Convention Center and Andretti’s. As it goes further down we see Celebration, the city built by Disney with beautiful homes, then finally over the miles and miles of Buena Vista including all the resorts, Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom.}
(Inside The Magic Kingdom we see none other than a familiar face and former Disney Star standing in front of Cinderella’s Castle.)
Narrator: The Happiest Place on Earth! Bit on this weekend once a year, the best of the best in professional wrestling get together in the culmination of their efforts to be right here on the grandest stage of them all, and it happens all over the world, but in 2024, they come here, to Orlando, Florida, home of Disney World!
(More graphics are shown of Disney, as the narrator starts to walk down the stairs of Cinderella’s Castle.)
Narrator: Tonight is the first of a three day extravaganza, where all of the hard work and effort of the Elitists in the EAW will congregate for win and triumph, and for some, defeat and tribulations. But one thing is certain, this is the Showcase of the Immortals. Every Championship in the EAW is on the line.
(Shots of Myles, Minerva, Charlie Marr, some dude named Vacant, Kassidy Heart and Sienna Jade, Veena Adams, Kasai, Michael Machina, Drake Amrstrong and Roberto de la Rosa)
Narrator: And then there are those looking to take it from them.
(It transitions to shots of Jamie O’Hara, Milli Banks, Hikari Kanno, Jake Smith, TLA, Ms. Extreme, Pandora Paisley/Halsey Neel, Alex Myers/Ruler, Raven Roberts, Miku Sakai, Mia Santoro, Usagi Senshi, BRAE, Hans Grayson, and Cameron Ella Ava.)
Narrator: Some will survive and walk away with their championships; others will fall, and we will see new names at the top of their respective division. But that is not all for there will be six Elitists who will try to reach up at the very top of the ladder and bring down the contract that will give them the chance to etch their names in the annals of history. Or those that will throw each other over the top rope.)
(A ladder is shown, the camera spins around showing the briefcase hang from the structure. It flashes the competitors of Princess Candice Blair, Donovan Duke, Bea Valentine, ARIA, MITSU, and finally Shinzo Sasaki. Then a quick slide of all the participants in the 24/7 Battle Royal including Ryan Wilson, SOSA Henderson, Ashlynn Quinn, Cody Maverick, Daniella Atlas, Ronan Malosi, Damien Kutcher, Luis De La Rosa, and The Colonel Major to name a few..)
Narrator: But it isn’t just gold that is on the line, blood feuds, fights, brawls and the chance to settle scores. From Beefy Big Men, to the fastest of women, they will be settled, and the question will be, can it be solved? Only in combat can these be decided.
(The footage then transitions to Harper Lee and Holly Arrow, Terry Chambers, Kirk Redwood, and Scott Diamond, Caroline and Solomon Stane, Briana Hill and Valerie Hellstorm, Rex McAllister and Jack Ripley, Joso and Impact, Jon Kelton and Daryl Kinkade, and finally Cy Henderson and Limmy Monaghan.)
Narrator: It isn’t just about settling scores or rising above the rest, on this weekend careers could end, marriages dissolved, and clashes of titans where legends are made.
(It then shows Andre Walker and Drake King, Madison Kaline and Auburn Ware, Dr. Bethany Blue and Adam Lucas, the last two Elitists are Bronson Daniels and Methuselah.)
Narrator: So, the question now is, are you ready to see the greatest spectacle in wrestling, to watch the moments created and the memories made. THIS IS DAY ONE OF PAIN FOR PRIDE: KINGDOM!
(Finally, the aerial coverage flies off the Magic Kingdom and it comes over Camping World Stadium, the home of the 2024 EAW Pain For Pride. As it slowly fades.)
???: AND NOW THE CITY OF ORLANDO AND CAMPING WORLD STADIUM PRESENTS – EAW 2024 PAIN FOR PRIDE: KINGDOM!

(“Olympus” by Blondeshell starts to play throughout the arena as the aerial camera shows the sold out Camping World Stadium as the fireworks go off, there are a few storm clouds in the distance, but the sun shines bright in the stadium as the fans are on their feet. The camera pans to the Voltage announce team of James Peters, Rich Russillo, and Persephone.)

(The camera cuts to ringside where Bella Braxton awaits with the microphone in hand.)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for…
Crowd: ONE FALL!!
(“Stronger (salü remix)” by the Score hits and sends the crowd into an uproar of cheers. Voltage gold parks begin to fall from the curtain area as Rex McAllister walks out sporting all white trunks and boots with a custom white vest that reads “Lionheart” across the back of it.)
Rich Russillo: Rex McAllister has been inches from the world title all season long! He surely saw himself in the main event of Pain for Pride before but that is not how things panned out!
James Peters: That doesn’t change the fact that he still has an incredible task ahead of him tonight. Rex is a Hall of Famer and certified all timer, but he’s going up against someone who can say the same thing!
Persephone: Can we skip this one? Please? Anyone but Rex!
(Rex makes his way down, his eyes focused on the ring but still stopping to high five some fans as he makes his way through. He climbs up into the ring and ascends the turnbuckle, throwing his arms up in the air. As he does, gold fireworks shoot up and explode from the stage. He then steps down and makes his way to his corner and removes his vest as his music fades.)
(“Live and Let Die” by Paul McCartney and Wings hits to another ovation from the fans. Smoke fills the stage and pyro goes off around the perimeter of the stage aim the shape of a target before the words “Straight Shooter” appear on screen as Jack Ripley walks out sporting white gear with black and gold details.)
Persephone: PLEASE SAVE US FROM REX, JACK!
Rich Russillo: And it’s with a solemn heart we see Jack Ripley here tonight! As well all know, he will retire after this match! And there’s no doubt that he’s looking to end things with a victory here at Pain for Pride!
James Peters: That’s the dream isn’t it? To go out victorious on the biggest stage of them all? I can bet Jack is ready to tear the place down in order to get the job done as well.)
(Jack walks down the ramp, his eyes on Rex the entire way. Jack slides into the ring, taking his gaze off Rex briefly only to raise a fist in the air which causes the fans to erupt once more. After this, his music fades and he steps over into his corner.)
Bella Braxton: Introducing first, from Sea Isle, New Jersey… weighing in at 238 pounds… he is an EAW Hall of Famer! The Lionheart! RRREEEEEEXXXXXX MMMMCCCAAALLLLIIISSSTTTEEERRRRRRR!!!!
(The crowd erupts as Rex steps forward and raises his fists up in the air. He looks at Jack with a face filled with focus and energy as he does so.)
Bella Braxton: And his opponent, from Las Vegas, Nevada… weighing in at 205 pounds… he is an EAW Hall of Famer! The Straight Shooter! JJJJJAAAACCCCKKKKKKK RRRRRIIIIIPPPPPLLLLEEEYYYYYYYY!!!!!
(The crowd explodes again for Jack who steps forward but keeps his eyes centered on Rex. The referee then steps in and checks with both men before signaling for the bell.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Rich Russillo: Here we go! This match between two hall of fame talents is now underway and both men standing at the ready, eyeing each other and looking for cracks in the armor! They look around and this roaring crowd is rising and they are ready for this exciting contest!
James Peters: No love lost between this pair as they were last seen brawling and having to be separated by security on the season finale of Voltage!
Persephone: Wouldn’t you be salty if your last match was with Rex of all people? Ugh…
Rich Russillo: And we have a first lock up as both men meet in the middle of the ring! Classic collar and elbow as both men looking to get the early advantage! Rex using his strength to push Ripley backwards and press him towards the corner— BUT RIPLEY TURNS THROUGH AND REVERSES REX BACK INTO THE CORNER! AND HE FOLLOWS IT UP WITH A SLAP ACROSS THE FACE OF REX MCALLISTER! Rex looking agitated as Jack backs up with both hands out, telling Rex that he is walking away with the win! Rex steps out to meet Ripley and they square up one more time! Locking up, Jack tries now to push Rex backwards! But Rex meets him with a kick to the abdomen that doubles Ripley over! AND REX JUST PUTS A PALM IN RIPLEY’S FACE AND SHOVES HIM AWAY! HE SAYS THERES NOTHING JACK CAN DISH THAT REX CANNOT GIVE BACK! RIPLEY LOOKING UNDERSTANDABLY PISSED AND BOTH MEN SHOWING EXACTLY HOW THEY FEEL ABOUT EACH OTHER!
James Peters: Jack now firing back and looking to wrap Rex up! Trying to take things to the next gear with a quickness!

Rex is trying to cover up where he can but some of those shots are landing! Rex fighting to push Jack off and Ripley finally relents! He grabs Rex by the head and drags him up to his feet! Ripley sends Rex into the ropes with an Irish Whip! McAllister bounds off the ropes and comes back! Ripley with the lariat! BUT REX DUCKS UNDERNEATH! Hits the ropes again as Ripley turns back around and Rex blasting Jack with a big shoulder tackle! Rex getting his bearings now as Ripley is quick to his feet! Both men tying up again as Jack slides through and goes for a rear waist lock! He tried for a German suplex! But Rex breaks free and twists back through! He goes for German suplex of his own!
Rich Russillo: BUT RIPLEY BACKFLIPS THROUGH AND LANDS ON HIS FEET! REX TURNS AROUND! RIPLEY GOING FOR IT! YOU’LL FLOAT TOO!
James Peters: BUT REX MANAGES TO SIDESTEP THE SUPERKICK AND GRABS JACK BY THE HEAD! RUNNING BULLDOG TAKES DOWN RIPLEY! REX TRYING TO TRANSITION INTO A SIDE HEADLOCK AND KEEP THE PRESSURE ON!
Persephone: Oh please don’t tell me I have to watch a Rex McAllister masterclass on pure wrestling… :noah:
James Peters: Rex applying the hold and keeping pressure on the neck of Ripley! Looking to wear him down early here and try to take the long term advantage in this match! Jack looking for an escape but Red keeping him held in there! Perfect positioning and technique by the Lionheart!
Persephone: UUUUUUUGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!

REX IS DOWN AND JACK TRYING TO ESCALATE MATTERS! RIPLEY CLIMBING THE TURNBUCKLES! HE GETS UP TO THE TOP ROPE! LINING UP! JACK RIPLEY WITH A MOONSAULT FROM THE TOP!
James Peters: AND IT CONNECTS RIGHT ON TOP OF REX! RIPLEY HOOKS THE LEG AND HAS THE FIRST PIN ATTEMPT HERE EARLY!
Referee: ONNNNEEEEEEEEEEE—
Rich Russillo: But barely even a one count! Jack knows it’s going to take way more than this to put McAllister down for the one two three! Ripley not bothered by the kick out though! He’s a veteran and this match is still barely underway. Jack now grabbing Rex by the waist to try and make an opening here! Jack delivering several clubbing forearms to the back of a Rex McAllister as he drags him slowly up! Jack finally gets Rex up to his feet— AND JACK RUNS REX CHEST FIRST INTO THE TURNBUCKLES!

Ripley maintaining total control now as he steps through the ropes to the apron! Jack now goading Rex to get back up! Lying in wait to strike again! Rex is trying to shake off the effects and get back in this thing but Jack has already done some serious damage to his head here in the early goings!

(Slow motion replay shows Rex turn through and land a fist under Jack’s jaw. Jack’s face twists from the impact and his body is sent twisting in the air before he hit the mat. Jack came in with such momentum that Rex is also sent backwards tumbling to the mat from the force of the contact.)
James Peters: Jack Ripley could be unconscious! Rex with a phenomenal counter and this could do the trick! He covers Jack up and makes the pin!

Rich Russillo: BOTH MEN WENT FOR BIG SHOULDER TACKLES AND THEY WOUND UP COLLIDING HEAD FIRST! Both of them are down on the ground! Neither man moving and we could have a double knockout situation here! I don’t think anyone wants to see it end this way but that’s how much these two were willing to throw at one another! The referee checking on them and seems to be considering starting a count!
Crowd: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
James Peters: BUT REX JUST SAT UP! THE STONE COLD LOOK OF DETERMINATION ON HIS FACE SHOWS EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW! HE IS FAR FROM DONE IN THIS MATCHUP! HE LOOKS OVER AT JACK—

Rich Russillo: JACK IS IN AGONY RIGHT NOW! TRYING TO DRAG HIMSELF TOWARDS THE ROPES TO FIND AN ESCAPE! CAN HE MAKE IT THERE BEFORE THE REX LOCK GETS THE BETTER OF HIM? USING HIS ARMS TO TRY AND PRESS HIMSELF FORWARD AND REX’S BLOOD GETTING EVERYWHERE IS MAKING IT HARDER FOR HIM TO GRIP THE MAT FOR TRACTION! OPENING UP THAT WOUND NOW BACKFIRING ON THE STRAIGHT SHOOTER! HE KEEPS PRESSING! DRAGGING HIMSELF! PUSHING FORWARD!
James Peters: BUT RIPLEY IS FADING! The referee is now down to check on him! There’s no way it can end like this for Jack Ripley’s Hall of Fame career! Ripley is fading… HE MIGHT BE OUT! THE REFEREE CHECKING AGAIN!

James Peters: THE RIPPLE EFFECT! JACK FINALLY LANDS THE VERTEBREAKER ON REX! THE STRAIGHT SHOOTER FLOATS OVER FOR THE COVER! JACKY RIP-DADDY WALKING OUT WITH THE VICTORY!
Referee: ONNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Rich Russillo: BUT REX ONCE AGAIN STAYS ALIVE!!
James Peters: REX SHOCKING BOTH JACK AND THE WORLD WITH THAT KICK OUT! Talk about last second survival! Ripley is pissed! But all he can do is continue to fight on! Jack looks around and tries to figure out his next move! Looking for a way to put Rex away for good! He looks up to the turnbuckle and seems to want to go to the high rent district! Jack stands and begins to climb! Rex is stirring but still down! Jack tries to climb but his exhaustion is definitely setting in! Climbing much slower than before! Jack slowly ascending and keeping an eye on Rex as he goes! Finally Jack manages to get to the top! He turns around to line himself up—
Persephone: REX JUST BLASTED JACK FROM THE TOP TURNBUCKLE AND SENDS HIM FLYING TO THE FLOOR OUTSIDE!
Rich Russillo: JACK CRASHES HARD INTO THE FLOOR! REX LOOKING TO FOLLOW HIM OUT THERE AND TRY TO GET BACK INTO THIS WHILE HE HAS THE CHANCE! Rex stepping out between the ropes! Eyeing Jack from the apron— wait… Rex… WHAT ARE YOU DOING REX?!?
James Peters: REX MCALLISTER BEGINS CLIMBING THE TURNBUCKLE THAT HE JUST THREW JACK RIPLEY OFF OF! REX UP ON THE TOP ROPE AND STARING DAGGERS AT RIPLEY THROUGH A CRIMSON MASK! REX THINKING HIGH RISK HIGH REWARD! AND REX LEAPS OFF THE TOP WITH A PLANCHA TO JACK RIPLEY ON THE OUTSIDE!
Rich Russillo: BUT JACK JUST BARELY ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY!
James Peters: REX CRASHES HARD TO THE FLOOR AS JACK JUST BARELY HAD THE WHEREWITHAL TO SEE WHAT WAS COMING! BOTH MEN ARE UNMOVING! ONCE AGAIN LOCKED IN THIS STALEMATE! The fans are raucous! This match has certainly delivered and both men are ready to die for this win! And if they keep this up they may just have to! Jack and Rex both down, but both of them with their eyes open and staying set on each other! You can bet if one moves, so will the other!
Rich Russillo: There’s only one way this ends and that’s with one of these men pinning the other! The referee not even bothering with a ten count as he seems to know that won’t change anything! Rex and Jack both finally stirring, making an initial move simultaneously! Both crawling towards each other! Jack is the first up to a knee and he backhands Rex in the face! Rex pushes up and returns fire with a closed fist! But Jack presses up now and— AND DARTS UP WITH ALL OF HIS STRENGTH! DELIVERING A KNEE TO THAT WOUND ON REX’S FACE! REX IS KNOCKED BACK BUT JACK IS UP AND FULL OF FIRE!
James Peters: JACK GRABS REX, BEFORE SENDING HIM CRASHING INTO THE BARRICADE!!! JACK CLIMBS UP ONTO THE RING APRON AS REX SLOWLY STUMBLES AWAY FROM THE BARRICADE, AND JACK RUNS IN BEFORE DIVING AT REX WITH A CLOTHESLINE OFF THE APRON!!! JACK RIPLEY IS DEFINITELY FIRED UP, AND IF THIS IS HIS FINAL MATCH, IT LOOKS LIKE HE WON’T BE GOING OUT WITHOUT AN INCREDIBLE FIGHT!!!
Rich Russillo: REX DOESN’T KNOW WHERE HE IS AFTER THAT ATTACK! JACK GRABS REX NOW AND DRAGS HIM TO THE APRON! JACK MANAGES TO POWER REX UP AND ROLLS HIM INTO THE RING! BUT HE IS IN SEVERE PAIN! HE MAY HAVE FOUND A SECOND WIND, BUT THAT’S NOT GOING TO ERASE ALL OF THE DAMAGE HE’S TAKEN UP TO THIS POINT!
James Peters: All of that damage done to Jack’s back has taken effect over time here! He’s grabbing at it and trying to fight back through the pain! Finally Jack climbs back into the ring, but Rex is up and both men are about to go to war yet again! Neither has been able to hold the advantage in this match for long! This just shows you exactly how talented these individuals are and how much they’re willing to give! Rex is breathing heavy, his eyes and teeth shining through the blood. Jack is nearly limping from the pain in his back. Both men stumbling. But both moving towards each other!
Rich Russillo: Rex rushes in looking for a lariat to take Jack down! Jack ducks it and plants his foot! He drives back with an elbow that meets Rex in the side of the head! Rex turns through and throws a back fist that knocks Ripley off balance! But Jack catches himself and delivers a stiff leg kick! Rex’s knee starts to buckle but he quickly shifts his stance and hits Jack with a european uppercut! Jack is knocked back! He stumbles back towards the corner and Rex moves in—
Persephone: YOU’LL FLOAT TOO!!!
James Peters: JACK HIT THE SUPERKICK OUT OF NOWHERE! REX IS FLOORED! BUT JACK NOT LOOKING TO TAKE ANY CHANCES HERE! HE PULLS REX TOWARDS THE CORNER! Jack is setting up here! Making sure his back won’t give out with a long jump! He has Rex right in front of him in the corner! Jack climbing the ropes! Struggling as he goes! But he ascends and arrives there! Lining up! He has Rex in his sights! Jack Ripley— BELIEVE IT OR NOT!!
Rich Russillo: HE HIT IT!! JACK RIPLEY CONNECTS WITH THE SHOOTING STAR PRESS RIGHT AFTER THE YOU’LL FLOAT TOO! JACK WITH THE LATERAL PRESS PIN! RIPLEY TAKES IT!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
…
Rich Russillo: HE DID IT!!!
James Peters: NO! THE REFEREE IS WAVING OFF THE CALL! REX HAD THE AWARENESS TO SEE HE WAS IN THE CORNER! HE SLIPPED HIS FOOT ONTO THE BOTTOM ROLE AT THE LAST SECOND!
Persephone: COME ON! I DESERVE SOMETHING TODAY!
Rich Russillo: Ripley is in utter disbelief at the result! Rex is barely conscious but you can’t deny his instinct! Ripley grabs ahold of Rex and starts laying into him with ground and pound punches, but the referee forces him to separate because Rex still has a foot in the ropes! Jack makes the referee back off and drags Rex out of the corner! Jack struggling to pull the Lionheart up to his feet! Wanting to set up for something to put Rex away!
James Peters: Jack finally getting the barely awake Rex vertical and swings an elbow— NO! REX WAS PLAYING POSSUM!! HE BLOCKS THE ELBOW! REX GRABS RIPLEY AND PULLS HIM IN! SLINGING HIM BACKWARDS AND BOUNCING JACK’S HEAD OFF THE TURNBUCKLE! JACK IS STUNNED! HE TRIES TO GET BACK TO HIS FEET AGAIN BUT REX IS THERE WAITING FOR HIM! REX HAS RIPLEY IN HIS GRASP— REX EFFECT!
Rich Russillo: REX PLANTS RIPLEY WITH THE REX EFFECT! BUT THAT ISN’T ALL! HE MAINTAINS CONTROL AND RISES BACK TO HIS FEET! REX SIGNALING FOR IT ONE MORE TIME! REX EFFECT!
James Peters: REX HITS IT! DOUBLE REX EFFECT! REX MCALLISTER JUST PLANTED JACK RIPLEY WITH THE FINISHING MOVE TWO TIMES IN A ROW!!!! TWICE IN A ROW, JACK WAS JUST DROPPED ON TOP OF HIS HEAD! THE LIONHEART DROPS DOWN AND HOOKS THE LEG! REX TAKING IT HOME, DEFEATING JACK RIPLEY IN HIS FINAL MATCH!!!
Referee: ONNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
…
James Peters: WHAT!?!?
Rich Russillo: NO WAY!!!! RIPLEY KICKED OUT AGAIN! HOW IN GAWDS NAME DID HE DO THAT?!? HOW IS THIS MATCH STILL GOING AFTER ALL OF THAT!?
Persephone: Haha! Look at Rex’s face!
James Peters: Rex is absolutely floored that Jack would power out of the double Rex Effect! Jack is still moving! Still crawling and looking for a way to get vertical again! He will not fade quietly into retirement! He is going out with a bang and he’s determined to go out with a victory! Jack is crawling away! Trying to find some room to recover and find his feet! But Rex not relenting! Rex takes the Straight Shooter by the hair and pulls him in! Trying to look for one more Rex effect! BUT RIPLEY FIGHTING BACK AGAIN! BACK ELBOWS TO THE STOMACH OF MCALLISTER! TEARING BACK AT HIS OPPONENT!! SCRAPPING FOR SURVIVAL! ELBOW AFTER ELBOW AND REX RELEASES THE HOLD! CLUTCHING AT HIS STOMACH! AND RIPLEY RETURNS WITH A DROPKICK TO THE BRIDGE OF THE NOSE! REX IS SENT BACKWARDS BUT NOT DOWN! HE TURNS BACK—
Rich Russillo: JACK JUST WENT FOR YOU’LL FLOAT TOO, BUT REX JUST BARELY HAD ENOUGH AWARENESS TO CATCH THE BOOT!!! REX NOW TURNING JACK AROUND, AND HE CONNECTS WITH AN ELBOW TO THE JAW!! Jack Ripley stumbles back, and you can see that both men are having a hard time even standing right now! Jack doesn’t fall though, but that looks okay for Rex ad he’s clearly nowhere near finished! REX SPINS AROUND FOR A DISCUS LARIAT—
James Peters: JACK DOESN’T LET THAT CONNECT!!!! JACK AVOIDED THE LARIAT BEFORE HITTING REX WITH AN UPPERCUT!!! JACK HITS A SECOND UPPERCUT, BUT REX RESPONDS WITH A FOREARM! BOTH MEN ONCE AGAIN ARE GOING BACK AND FORTH, AND YOU CAN SEE THAT NEITHER MAN IS WILLING TO GO DOWN EASILY, EVEN IF THEY HAVE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING LEFT TO GIVE! JACK RIPLEY IS STUMBLING, AND I THINK HE MIGHT BE DONE!!!
Persephone: Gross. It looks like Rex somehow got the upper hand after all that. Rex now runs the ropes—
Rich Russillo: YOU’LL FLOAT TOO! ANOTHER SUPERKICK TO THE CHIN OF REX MCALLISTER! REX LOOKS LIKE HES JUST BEEN SHOT WITH THE IMPACT OF THAT KICK! BUT RIPLEY DOESN’T LET HIM FALL! JACK HAS AN IDEA HERE! ONE MORE TIME! JACK TURNS HIM THROUGH! JACK PULLS REX INTO POSITION AND HOISTS HIM UP! RIPLEY HAS IT SET!
James Peters: THE RIPPLE EFFECT!!
Rich Russillo: NO! AFTER EVERYTHING HE’S BEEN THROUGH, THE INJURED BACK GAVE OUT AND JACK COULDNT KEEP REX UP LONG ENOUGH TO COMPLETE THE VERTEBREAKER! Rex drops to the mat and Jack clutches at his back that is in near debilitating pain! Rex is stunned but realizes that he has an opening! He stumbles and jolts himself up! Clubbing at the spine of Ripley one more time, Rex pulls Jack in!
James Peters: REX PLANTS JACK WITH THE REX EFFECT! AND ONCE AGAIN HE MAINTAINS CONTROL! REX KNOWS THAT THIS IS HIS BEST SHOT AT WINNING, AND HE’S NOT ABOUT TO LET IT GO TO WASTE!!! REX PULLING JACK UP FOR IT AGAIN! DOUBLE REX EFFECT CONNECTS!!
Persephone: WAIT! NO! ANYTHING BUT THIS!!!!! I DON’T WANT TO SEE A REX WIN!
James Peters: REX STILL MAINTAINS CONTROL! HE HAS JACK AND PULLS HIM UP ONE MORE TIME! REX BACKS UP TOWARDS THE ROPES! HE PULLS HIMSELF UP THE FIRST ROPE! UP THE SECOND ROPE! AND UP TO THE TOP ROPE! ALL WHILE HOLDING JACK IN POSITION!
Rich Russillo: REX MCALLISTER WITH THE AVALANCHE REX EFFECT TO JACK RIPLEY! DOUBLE REX EFFECT FINISHED WITH THE AVALANCHE REX EFFECT! REX HAS LAID IT ALL OUT! HE SLIDES OVER FOR THE COVER! IT TOOK EVERYTHING REX COULD POSSIBLY HAVE TO OFFER, BUT I DON’T THINK THERE’S ANY KICKING OUT OF THIS!!!!
Referee: ONNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
…
(DING! DING! DING!)
(“Stronger (Salü Remix)” by the score blasts through the stadium as Rex slides off of Jack, bloody and battered. He looks up and hears the cheers from the crowd, and stands to his feet, raising his hand in success.)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen… here is your winner… RRRRREEEEEEEEEXXXXXX MMMCCCC AAAALLLLIIISSSTTTTTTTTEEERRRRRRRR!!!!
James Peters: What an absolutely brutal war these two just went through! Rex won at the end, but he had to basically pull a nuke out of his arsenal to do it!
Rich Russillo: Rex has had a turbulent season. He’s been so close so many times to reclaiming that top spot. After all he’s been through, it has to feel nice to finish this season with a victory at Pain for Pride!
Persephone: This is fucking bullshit. Wake me up when the next one starts.
(Rex looks down and sees Jack Ripley just coming to and realizing what has happened. Rex reaches down and extends a hand. Jack looks at him before taking the hand and Rex helps him to his feet. The pair stand they’re looking at one another before Rex nods his head and reaches out for a handshake. Jack returns it, and the pair share a moment of respect. Rex then turns and steps out of the ring, making his way up the ramp, high diving fans as he goes. As Rex steps the light he curtains, the music fades and all that’s left is Jack Ripley in the ring.)
James Peters: And now the time has come. As we all know, this is the last match of Jack Ripley’s illustrious career in EAW!
Crowd: THANK YOU, JACK! THANK YOU, JACK! THANK YOU, JACK!
Rich Russillo: From the High Rollerz, to the 1%, to simply everything that he accomplished all on his own. This Hall of Fame career won’t be forgotten! Thank you, Jack indeed!
(Jack looks around, his eyes close to watering, he takes a moment to soak in the adoration one final time.)
Persephone: Even I’ll say… you weren’t as boring as some of the others, Ripley.
Rich Russillo: It’s time for family. Maybe we will see Jack Ripley again some day. But for now, a wife and kids waits for him back home.
(Jack looks out at the fans once more. And finally he looks to the hard camera and after an emotional stare, he pats himself on the chest and simply whispers…)
Jack Ripley: (Off mic) Thank you…
(And with that, Jack steps out of the ropes, not looking back at the ring but out once more at the EAW universe, and steps off the apron one last time. As he makes his way up the ramp, “Live and Let Die” by Paul McCartney and Wings plays one last time before the camera fades to black.)

(The camera focuses on Dynasty Ring Announcer, Stephie Love for the championship bout.)
Stephie Love: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR… ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
Stephie Love: AND IT IS FOR… THE ELITE ANSWERS WRESTLING INTERWIRE CHAMPIONSHIP!!!
Crowd: NIOGWNOID WNIOGWNIODWMOPWEGV[PKDQWP]LVWEMD W,]P13F,[P`2E[PF13,Q’;12’;FVM[ELQFM[3QWCM[PC[P,FEW,PQF,[PEWF’,;’CVMMPORBW
(‘The Leaving Song Pt. II’ by AFI hits the speakers of the arena to an explosion of cheers, as the challenger made his way out onto the ramp, and it was the Fire Heart, Hans Grayson! As Hans made his way out, he had a special attire on; one that is a callback to last year’s Pain for Pride and his first Pain for Pride event, the Shoto Todoroki inspired gear, half fire and half ice, as he made his way down the ramp. Will he be able to strike gold once more tonight?)
Stephie Love: INTRODUCING FIRST; THE CHALLENGER! FROM VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA, WEIGHING IN AT 216 POUNDS, HE IS ‘FIRE HEART!!!!!!!!!’ HAAAAAAAAAAAANSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS GRAYSONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: This is Hans Grayson’s second ever Pain for Pride event; the first one taking place last year, as he struck gold when he defeated Caroline to become the New Breed Championship. The same championship of which had started this year-long rivalry to begin with, between Hans Grayson and his opponent here tonight.
Flannery McCoy: A rivalry that had been so naturally brewed up to this point, with now instead of the New Breed Championship amongst the fray, it got an upgrade for the grandest stage of the year in the form of the Interwire Championship, as Hans Grayson looks to strike gold for the second year in a row!
Jake Mercer: As you all know last year, I was pulling for Hans Grayson to defeat Caroline, and you know what? I’m a big fan of both of these men, but I am a #GRAYSONITE before family type of guy, so I wouldn’t be surprised if we see a NEW Interwire Champion tonight.
(Hans Grayson would make his way into the ring, taking it all in as everyone jam packed into the Stadium in Florida tonight was completely behind him, looking and hoping for him to win his second championship in EAW on the biggest stage EAW has to offer.)
(That is when, the lights of the stadium shift to an orangish-golden tint as ‘Pride and Arrogance’ begins blaring through the speakers. One of the Minitron screens elevates to reveal Drake Armstrong being driven onto the stage in his Rolls-Royce of the week; a vintage Phantom I! As the chauffeur drives onto the ramp, the upper half of the Future’s body can be seen popping out from the open roof of the car, the Interwire Championship being strapped safely around his waist. From his elevated position, Drake Armstrong poses with his arms outstretched for EAW’s cameramen whilst being bombarded with boos by the front-row fans that line the ramp, as well as the whole stadium making their voices heard.)
Stephie Love: AND HIS OPPONENT! FROM SCARSDALE, NEW YORK, WEIGHING IN TONIGHT AT 245 POUNDS, HE IS THE CURRENT EAW INTERWIRE CHAMPION… AND HE IS THE ‘FUTURE!!!!!!’ DRAKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE ARRRRMSTROOOOOOOOONGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: The growth that we have seen from Drake Armstrong since his first MLE championship match against Hans Grayson nearly a year ago needs to be studied. He has went on to beat some of the very best such as Cy Henderson and won his first ever championship in the form of the Interwire Championship a couple of months back at Operation: Doomsday!
Flannery McCoy: But, truthfully? Drake Armstrong hasn’t gotten over the conclusion of the Reckless Wiring Pure Rules match all the way back at the beginning of the season against Hans Grayson. It’s an itch that he hasn’t been able to scratch. And with successful defences against the likes of MITSU and Cody Maverick, for Drake Armstrong to put an end to Hans Grayson, to put an end to that itch, tonight? At Pain for Pride? Would be the best scenario for The Future.
(The Rolls-Royce comes to a stop upon making contact with the ring, prompting the Future to step out from the open roof and onto the hood of the car. From the hood, Drake easily walks right onto the apron before climbing onto the corner closest to the hard cam. He flaunts his Interwire Championship atop the top turnbuckle with a self-aggrandizing pose before hopping down into the ring. Finally in the ring, the Future dismissively waves off his chauffeur, who completes his thankless job and drives the Rolls-Royce back up the ramp. As his theme song fades out, Drake Armstrong leans against his corner with a despicably cocky smirk, ready to begin the match.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: And here we go! The Interwire Championship is on the line, as Drake Armstrong defends against Hans Grayson on the grandest stage that Elite Answers Wrestling has to possibly offer, Pain for Pride Kingdom!
Flannery McCoy: And think of the history between these two, Stew. It started all the way at the beginning of LAST season, when Hans Grayson was the New Breed Champion and Drake was the one chasing him! Now, it is the opposite and Drake is the hunted, and Grayson is the hunter!
Jake Mercer: Both men have come a long way since the beginning of season seventeen and I am sure that this championship match here tonight? Is going to be CINEMA! But, let’s not waste any time and get to the action, as both Hans and Drake rush to the centre of the ring and start off in the collar and elbow tie up!
Stew-O: Drake Armstrong is going to quickly find his way out of the tie up, going around and pulling Hans Grayson over into the side headlock! Drake wrenches it in, but Hans is going to slip out of it, going for the waistlock.
Flannery McCoy: Hans holds onto Drake by the waist, as Drake looks to break away from the hold, swinging his elbow, but Hans ducks out of the way and let’s go, before pushing Drake away! Drake falls over into the ropes as the referee goes to check on him, and it looks like the challenger has outsmarted him early.
Jake Mercer: These two know each other very well, they have competed against one another time and time again whether it was for the New Breed Championship or on a random Friday Night Dynasty in tag team action, there is no doubt in my mind this was going to happen, as both men reset, back to square one, and begin to pace and circle around the ring once more.
Stew-O: Hans nor Drake are keeping their eyes off of each other, as both men circle around the ring… back to the centre for another collar and elbow tie up, and this time it’s Hans Grayson who comes out of it on top with the early advantage, as he pulls Drake into the wristlock, but Drake is going to drop to the mat, rolling through and popping back to his feet, finding his way out of the wrist lock and pulls Hans into one! We don’t see that everyday by the Interwire Champion!
Flannery McCoy: But Grayson is now going to be the one who has to defend himself from such a predicament, as he reaches over and wraps his arm around the neck of Drake, dropping down to a knee and pulling him over into a seated position with the snapmare! Hans pops back up to his feet – AND HE SHOOTS A KICK INTO THE LOWER SPINE OF THE INTERWIRE CHAMPION! THAT ONE HAD TO HURT!
Jake Mercer: But Drake Armstrong completely ate that kick by Hans Grayson! He braced for impact and from the look on his face, he was barely affected by it, and Hans was going to attempt another one, but Drake moves out of dodge and grabs the foot, yanking Hans right into the mat and dropping onto him for the cover! The leg is hooked!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Stew-O: But Hans kicks out almost instantly and he kips right back up to his feet! Drake Armstrong gets back up as well, rolling to his feet as both men meet each other in the centre of the ring – and Armstrong goes for a swing at his challenger!
Flannery McCoy: But Grayson drops down and he sweeps the legs of the champion, dropping Drake Armstrong back into the mat and Hans almost instantly drapes himself over him and goes for a cover of his own! Now Hans looks to steal it here!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Jake Mercer: Drake Armstrong kicks out!-
Stew-O: But Hans slams him right back down into the mat and keeps him there as he hooks the leg once again!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Flannery McCoy: Another kick out by the Interwire Champion, and Drake Armstrong immediately rolls out of the ring and he looks to gain some space for a breath of air, and the crowd does not like that whatsoever! Hans Grayson gets back up to his feet, as the champion taunts him from the outside of the ring, but I don’t think that’s the best idea!
Jake Mercer: Uh, not at all, Flannery! Hans rolls out of the ring from the other side as Drake had his attention on a fan and arguing with them, AND HANS COMES FROM BEHIND WITH A MASSIVE FOREARM TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD! Drake stumbles into the barricade and Hans holds him up, stiffing him with a massive chop across the chest! The chop connects, and echoes throughout the whole stadium!
Stew-O: And Drake lets out a scream of agony as that stiff chop connects! He staggers away, but Hans Grayson is following behind and is not looking to let up, as he pushes Drake up against the apron and once again holds him still, AND ANOTHER CHOP BY THE CHALLENGER! ANOTHER CHOP THAT ECHOES THROUGHOUT THE STADIUM, ANOTHER CHOP THAT CAUSES A CRY OF AGONY TO COME FROM THE CHAMPION!
Flannery McCoy: Grayson has taken complete control over this match, as he is going to grab Armstrong and throw him back into the ring, following suit and looking to take advantage of the opening that he had created for himself in this moment of the championship match!
Jake Mercer: But wait- look at the ring smarts on display by the Interwire Champion!
(As Hans Grayson had sent Drake Armstrong back into the ring, Drake made sure to almost immediately roll as far away as he possibly could to the other side of the ring. He got back up to his feet and backed into the ropes, staying there. Hans went to continue the assault, but the referee was going to have no other choice but to hold him back because of it.)
Stew-O: Hans has no other choice but to back away, as the referee is going to hold him back due to Drake staying in the ropes. Hans backs far away, opposite of Drake in the ring as it looks like we are going to have a complete reset in this match, back to square one-
Flannery McCoy: -OR ARE WE, STEW?! BECAUSE DRAKE JUST RUSHED RIGHT BACK IN AS HANS WASN’T PAYING ATTENTION, AND SHOT HIS BOOT RIGHT INTO GRAYSON’S KNEECAP! THE CHALLENGER DIDN’T SEE THAT COMING AT ALL! Grayson goes down and now Drake is going to take complete advantage over this, as he begins to nail him with stiff blows, lefts and rights, keeping him down and out on the mat!
Jake Mercer: And look at this, Hans was still holding at his knee while trying to block out the blows that were being struck upon him by the Interwire Champion! Having a bad leg against someone like Drake Armstrong isn’t the best, he’s going to tear that apart, render it useless, and use some of his biggest moves – whether it is ‘By the Bootstraps’ or ‘Will Killer’ to advance himself further and hope for a victory in this match!
Stew-O: But I think Drake is going to focus all of his attacks in this moment of time ON THAT LEG OF HANS GRAYSON, AS HE BEGINS TO STOMP OUT THE KNEE! GRAYSON WAS SCREAMING OUT IN AGONY, DESPERATELY LOOKING TO GET AWAY, BUT DRAKE WASN’T GOING TO ALLOW HIM TO! This is about the Interwire Championship, and Drake Armstrong is going to do whatever it takes in order to walk out of Pain for Pride as still the champ!
Flannery McCoy: And now Drake is going to grab the knee of Hans, pulling him toward the ropes as he exits the ring… AND HE HOVERS HANS’ LEG OVER THE APRON, BEFORE DROPPING IT DOWN ONTO THE HARDEST PART OF THE RING! OVER AND OVER! GRAYSON CONTINUES TO CRY AND SCREAM OUT IN BLOOD CURDLING AGONY AS ARMSTRONG SHOWED LITTLE TO NO REMORSE TO HIS ATTACKS! Drake Armstrong is willing to do anything necessary and pull out any ace in his sleeve here tonight as he quickly enters back into the ring to follow up on the attack he’s caused!
Jake Mercer: And Drake is going to grab Hans by the hair and drag him over toward the centre of the ring, bringing him back up to his feet and hooking him by the bad knee, BEFORE LIFTING HIM INTO THE AIR, AND THE INTERWIRE CHAMPION PLANTS GRAYSON DOWN AND INTO THE MAT WITH A FISHERMAN SUPLEX! ARMSTRONG BRIDGES INTO IT AND HE GOES FOR THE COVER AS HE LOOKS TO RETAIN OFF OF THIS!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Stew-O: BUT HANS GRAYSON KICKS OUT AT THE COUNT OF TWO! Drake Armstrong is forced out of the bridge to let go of the hook that he had around the knee of Hans Grayson, as he sat up, clearly frustrated that it wasn’t able to get him the victory and to retain the Interwire Championship. He takes a deep breath in, rolling over and back up to his feet as he is going to bring Hans back up, BEFORE IRISH WHIPPING HANS FULL SPEED AHEAD AND INTO THE TURNBUCKLES, AS HANS CRASHES INTO THE TURNBUCKLES!
Flannery McCoy: HANS GRAYSON GETS SENT FLYING INTO THE TURNBUCKLES, GOING SPINE FIRST INTO THEM AS HE THEN STUMBLES OUT OF IT… AND DRAKE ARMSTRONG SPINS HIM AROUND INTO HIS GRASP, BEFORE DROPPING HANS DOWN INTO A TILT-A-WHIRL BACKBREAKER! HANS JUST GOT BENT OVER ARMSTRONG’S KNEE SPINE FIRST, AS DRAKE PUSHES HIM BACK DOWN AND HE GOES FOR A COVER!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Jake Mercer: Another kick out by the challenger once more keeps this match alive! Drake has taken complete control over this championship match, but he has yet to find himself being able to put it away. But you can tell that frustration is starting to grow more and more on the face of the champion, who is looking to end this match as quickly as possible.
Stew-O: But Drake was yet to be finished with what was going to be more and more torment to the challenger of his Interwire Championship, as he grabbed Grayson by that bad knee once again, dragging him to the centre of the ring, and he begins to kick at the back of the knee once more, causing Grayson to cry out in pain as he tried to fight back and block the kicks from going into the back of his kneecap! Hans Grayson was in trouble and looked to be in a very bad position in this match right here!
Flannery McCoy: And Armstrong is going to drag Hans back up to his feet once more, sending him back into the corner, AND HE NAILS A STIFF FOREARM RIGHT ACROSS THE FACE! Grayson’s face jolts to the side, AND DRAKE NAILS ANOTHER ONE! A second one for good measure keeps Hans Grayson in the corner as Drake then begins to back up… AND HE LOOKS TO RUN IN AT THE CHALLENGER- BUT HANS GETS THE FOOT UP!
Jake Mercer: AND THAT FOOT FROM HANS CATCHES DRAKE ARMSTRONG SQUARE ON THE JAW AS THE CHAMPION’S HEAD SNAPS BACK FROM THE IMPACT, FORCING HIM DOWN TO HIS KNEES RIGHT IN FRONT OF GRAYSON! Grayson notices this, seeing that this was his opening to make something happen, as he climbs up to the middle rope, trying to bring feeling back to his knee as Drake Armstrong begins to get back up to his feet…!
Stew-O: AND HANS LEAPS OFF OF THE ROPE, FLINGING HIMSELF OVER ARMSTRONG AS HE HOOKED ONTO HIM AND BRINGS HIM DOWN INTO THE RING CANVAS WITH A MASSIVE BLOCKBUSTER! BLOCKBUSTER CONNECTS AND BOTH MEN GO DOWN, AS GRAYSON ROLLS OVER AND HE GOES FOR A COVER TO BECOME CHAMP!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Flannery McCoy: KICK OUT BY ARMSTRONG! A DEFINITIVE KICK OUT AT THE COUNT OF TWO BY THE INTERWIRE CHAMPION KEEPS THIS TITLE MATCH ALIVE! Hans Grayson is clearly in a lot of pain right now, however, holding right back at that knee as he was pushed up into a seated position from the kick out by the champion, but who knows what he could be thinking of right now? Most of his moveset is limited from the possible injury to the knee, and to the leg of the challenger, and could keep him from hitting high impact moves.
Jake Mercer: Hans Grayson is clearly hurt, but I think he is looking to go for one of the biggest moves in his arsenal, and he is setting it up as he makes his way out onto the apron! Drake Armstrong was starting to slowly get back up to his feet… AND HANS GRAYSON IS GOING TO PUT THE FINAL NAIL IN THE COFFIN OF THIS MATCH – WITH THE ‘BURNING SHOT LARIAT!!!’
Stew-O: NO! NO! THE KNEE GAVE OUT ON HANS AS HE SLINGSHOTTED HIMSELF INTO THE RING AND HE COULDN’T SPRING FORWARD AT DRAKE, CAUSING DRAKE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE… SHOOTING FORWARD AT HANS AND CATCHING HIM WITH A NASTY LOOKING CHOP BLOCK! THAT CHOP BLOCK WAS BRUTAL!
Flannery McCoy: That one mistake being made by Hans Grayson could have completely destroyed his chances of winning the Interwire Championship! Drake knows exactly what he has done as he gets back up to his feet, and the crowd here in Florida made sure they let him know exactly how they felt about that!
Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! FUCK YOU DRAKE! FUCK YOU DRAKE! FUCK YOU DRAKE! FUCK YOU DRAKE!
(Drake shrugs.)
Jake Mercer: AND DRAKE GOES RIGHT BACK ON THE ATTACK, GRABBING THE FOOT OF GRAYSON, AND HE SLINGS IT INTO THE MAT WITH A NASTY LOOKING DRAGON SCREW LEGWHIP! DID YOU SEE THE WAY THAT HIS KNEE JUST WHIPPED INTO THE MAT?! Hans had no way of being able to escape this predicament, but Drake wasn’t done here, as he kept a hold of the leg, and he rolls through it to pop back up to his feet, AND HE DOES IT AGAIN! A SECOND TIME!
Stew-O: Armstrong knows EXACTLY what he is doing here and he knows that he is creating the perfect opening and the perfect momentum for himself, in a match like this, which is exactly what that prick needs if he wants the best chances of retaining his championship!
Flannery McCoy: And Drake is going to reel Hans back into the centre of the ring, grabbing him by the jaw and bringing him to his feet… AS DRAKE IS GOING TO PULL HANS INTO THE HALF-NELSON, THEN APPLYING THE HALF-CHICKENWING, AND HANS HAD NOWHERE TO GO!
Jake Mercer: AND ARMSTRONG THROWS HANS OVER, DROPPING HIM HEAD FIRST INTO THE MAT WITH ‘NATURAL TALENT!’ THE BRIDGING HALF-NELSON HALF-CHICKENWING SUPLEX CONNECTS AND THE CHALLENGER IS PLANTED INTO THE MAT, AS DRAKE AMPLIFIES THE BRIDGE EVEN HIGHER FOR A BETTER CHANCE OF WINNING!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Stew-O: HE KICKED OUT! HE KICKED OUT AGAIN! HANS GRAYSON JUST KICKED OUT OF ONE OF DRAKE’S BIGGEST MOVES THAT HE HAD TO POSSIBLY OFFER! THE INTERWIRE CHAMPION COULDN’T BELIEVE IT, HE THOUGHT IT WAS A THREE COUNT, AND YOU COULD HEAR HIM SHOUTING AT THE REFEREE!
(Drake got back up to his feet, looking very annoyed and very frustrated. He made his way toward the referee, beginning to argue with him with a look of anger on his face… but as he did so, the challenger was slowly beginning to recover as well!)
Flannery McCoy: Uh, guys! While Drake is arguing with the referee, I think it is very important to note that Hans Grayson is making his way back up to his feet with the help of the ropes, and he does not look to be happy at the Interwire Champion in the slightest!
(Drake continued to argue with the referee, but as the crowd started to cheer louder and louder, he had frozen right in his place, knowing what was about to happen.)
Drake Armstrong: (off-mic) …he’s right behind me, isn’t he.
Crowd: 🙂
(Drake slowly turns around…)
Jake Mercer: ‘FLAMING PUNCH!!!’ THE FLAMING PUNCH BY HANS GRAYSON COMES OUT OF NOWHERE AND COMPLETELY LAYS DRAKE ARMSTRONG OUT, BUT DRAKE ON INSTINCT MANAGES TO ROLL OUT OF THE RING AND HE AVOIDS A COVER FROM THE CHALLENGER! HANS GRAYSON COULD HAVE BECOME INTERWIRE CHAMPION OFF OF THAT IF DRAKE DIDN’T GET AWAY!
Stew-O: But Hans Grayson is on fire right now! He gets back up to his feet, and even if he is on one leg, he is on one leg with the whole stadium of Florida as his crutch! Hans rolls out of the ring as Drake was starting to get back up… AS HE DASHES AT HIM, SLINGING AROUND INTO A SLING BLADE!!!
Flannery McCoy: DRAKE’S HEAD GETS PLANTED INTO THE RINGSIDE MATS FROM THE IMPACT OF THAT SLINGBLADE! Hans brings himself back up to his feet, and listen to all of Florida here tonight! They are screaming in cheers and chants, all behind Hans!
Crowd: LET’S GO HANS! LET’S GO HANS! LET’S GO HANS! LET’S GO HANS! LET’S GO HANS! LET’S GO HANS! LET’S GO HANS! LET’S GO HANS!
Jake Mercer: Hans begins to pull himself back up to his feet, as Drake was starting to get back up as well by the usage of the barricade, and Hans looks back toward Drake, the sight of rage in his eyes, the frustration that was being implied by the challenger… HE JUMPS INTO THE AIR FOR ANOTHER ‘FLAMING PUNCH!!!’
(… … …)
Stew-O: DRAKE MOVES OUT OF THE WAY! DRAKE MOVES AND HANS HAS TO STOP HIMSELF AT THE BARRICADE, BECAUSE HE DAMN NEAR HIT A FAN RIGHT THERE! Hans begins to slowly back up… BUT DRAKE COMES FROM BEHIND WITH ANOTHER CHOP BLOCK!!
Flannery McCoy: AND THAT ONE REALLY SNAPPED INTO GRAYSON’S KNEECAP BY THE FORCE! But Drake wasn’t done there! He gets back up to his feet… his eyes settling upon the steel steps, and I don’t think this is going to end well, guys!
Jake Mercer: DRAKE GRABS A HOLD OF HANS AND PULLS HIM IN CLOSE, LIFTING HIM OFF HIS FEET AS HE LOOKED BACK OVER TOWARD THE STEEL STEPS… AND HE GOES BOLTING TOWARDS THEM!!! OH GOD-
(# *CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASH!*)
Stew-O: OH MY GOD! DRAKE ARMSTRONG JUST DROPPED HANS GRAYSON KNEE FIRST INTO THE STEEL STEPS WITH THE JUMPING SHIP BREAKER! ‘BY THE BOOTSTRAPS’ CONNECTS AND LISTEN TO HANS SCREAMING IN ABSOLUTE TORMENT, AS DRAKE GRABS HIM AND SENDS HIM BACK INTO THE RING, FOLLOWING SUIT!
Flannery McCoy: HANS GRAYSON IS HURTING BADLY, AS HE CRAWLED TO THE CENTRE OF THE RING LOOKING TO DESPERATELY GET AWAY, BUT DRAKE BRINGS HIM TO HIS FEET…
Jake Mercer: AND HE HITS IT! DRAKE HITS IT! HE PLANTS HANS INTO THE MAT, SPIKING HIM HEAD FIRST WITH THE GOTCH-STYLE TOMBSTONE PILEDRIVER!! ‘DEATH PENALTY’ CONNECTS, AND DRAKE FLOATS OVER FOR THE COVER!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Stew-O: WHAT… THE… HELL?!
Flannery McCoy: HE KICKED OUT! HANS GRAYSON KICKED OUT! THE CHALLENGER KICKED OUT AGAIN AND HE-
Jake Mercer: -NO! NO! NO! HANS KICKED OUT, BUT DRAKE ALMOST INSTANTLY TRANSITIONED OVER AND ROLLED THROUGH, BRINGING HANS OVER ONTO HIS BACK AS HE LOCKED IN THE ‘WILL KILLER!’ THIS ISN’T GOOD! THIS ISN’T GOOD AT ALL! ALL OF THAT DAMAGE THAT HAS BEEN DONE TO THE BAD LEG OF HANS GRAYSON AND THIS MIGHT BE TRULY, A WILL KILLER OF IT ALL!
Stew-O: After everything that Hans Grayson has fought for, after everything that he has worked for, for him to tap out TONIGHT, at Pain for Pride – the same event that he won his FIRST championship just last year?! That is saddening, but Hans isn’t looking to make that mistake! He isn’t looking to let it happen!
(Hans was trapped in the centre of the ring as the ‘Will Killer’ was seized in as tightly as it possibly could be. Truthfully, there was nowhere for Hans to go. All he could do was try his hardest to crawl. But after all of the damage that had been done to him tonight, it may not be the happy ending that Grayson was looking for.)
Flannery McCoy: The scratching, the clawing, all to make it to the ropes and keep his chances of winning the Interwire Championship here tonight at Pain for Pride! HANS GRAYSON IS IN A FIGHT FOR HIS LIFE AND HE MAY COMPLETELY LOSE A BODY PART BECAUSE OF IT, AS DRAKE WRENCHES BACK ON THAT HURT LEG EVEN MORE THAN BEFORE!
Jake Mercer: But Flanney, Stew…! Look at Drake! If you guys remember, this isn’t even the complete version of the ‘Will Killer;’ as it is more than just a half boston crab, but a heel hook applied as well, AND DRAKE IS LOOKING TO APPLY THE FULL ‘WILL KILLER’ RIGHT NOW! IF HE GETS IT, HANS IS DONE FOR!
(Hans was truly in a fight for his life. Drake was now trying to apply the heel hook along with the half boston crab, while Hans continued to try and crawl closer and closer to the ropes that by extension, forced Drake to have a harder time applying the full ‘Will Killer.’ As Drake had managed to position himself and Hans properly… a miracle had happened.)
Referee: (off-mic) ROPE BREAK!
Stew-O: HANS GRAYSON GOT HIS WAY TO THE ROPES, AND HE MANAGES TO GRAB ONTO IT JUST IN TIME! HANS GRAYSON SAVED HIMSELF! HE SAVED HIMSELF! HE SAVED THIS MATCH! HE SAVED HIS CHANCES TO WIN THE INTERWIRE CHAMPIONSHIP! Drake Armstrong had no other choice but to let go of the ‘Will Killer’ as he stumbled away, exhausted and frustrated as he began pounding the mat, all the while – Hans made his way to the apron!
Flannery McCoy: And as Hans had begun to drag himself up onto the apron, Drake as well had started to get back up to his feet, and turned his attention to Hans… knowing exactly what the challenger had planned! AND DRAKE LOOKS TO STRIKE FORWARD, AS HE RUSHES IN AT HANS GRAYSON ON THE APRON!
Jake Mercer: BUT HANS GRAYSON SLINGSHOTS HIMSELF INTO THE RING AT THE SAME EXACT TIME!
(And then…)
(… … …)
(… … …)
(… … …)
(… … …)
(… … …)
(The two men collided.)
Stew-O: THEY JUST FELL RIGHT INTO EACH OTHER WITH A HEAD ON COLLISION! WHAT THE HELL?!
Flannery McCoy: BOTH MEN ARE DOWN!
Jake Mercer: BOTH MEN ARE OUT!
(Neither man were moving. The crowd was completely confused as was the referee and the commentators. They have no idea what had just happened, but that is before a reply would begin to show.)
(…)
(As the replay began to show throughout the stadium, it showed Drake Armstrong rushing in looking to stop Hans Grayson from getting into the ring, but Hans had slingshotted himself into the ring at the same time, causing them to collide… but, only it was… **Hans Grayson** who had got what he wanted out of it, managing to nail the ‘Lariat’ of the ‘Burning Shot Lariat’ in mid air without even needing to touch the floor.)
Stew-O: HE HIT IT! HANS SOMEHOW MANAGED TO NAIL THE ‘BURNING SHOT LARIAT’ OUT OF THAT COLLISION!
Flannery McCoy: But, he didn’t get all of it! :lupe:
Jake Mercer: BUT IT DOESN’T MATTER, AS HANS DRAPES HIS ARM OVER DRAKE ARMSTRONG AND HE GOES FOR THE COVER! WE HAVE A NEW CHAMPION! THIS IS IT!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Stew-O: Wha- WHAT?! HUH?! HOW?!
Flannery McCoy: HE KICKED OUT! DRAKE ARMSTRONG KICKED OUT! THE INTERWIRE CHAMPION HAS KICKED OUT AND THIS CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH CONTINUES ONWARD!
Jake Mercer: Flannery said it Stew, and it looked to play a huge part in what had just transpired! Hans didn’t get all of the lariat due to having to hit while he was still IN the air, and Drake rushing in at him, leaving him completely vulnerable to a less impactful, what is usually a “finishing move,” being rendered useless!
(Hans Grayson didn’t know what else he could do. He was basically dragging himself across the ring at this point. His knee has been torn apart by Drake Armstrong and not even his biggest move yet in this match could put away the Interwire Champion.)
Stew-O: Hans is slowly bringing himself back up to his feet using the help of the ropes, all the while Armstrong was starting to get back up as well! Hans was not in the best state, but neither was Drake it seemed! Both men began stumbling over to the centre of the ring, looking back at each other… AND DRAKE THROWS THE FIRST SHOT WITH A FOREARM!
Flannery McCoy: Hans falls back as he holds at his jaw, face jolting to the side as he did not look very good… BUT HE COMES BACK IN WITH A FOREARM OF HIS OWN! AND THEN DRAKE RESPONDS WITH A FOREARM! HANS RESPONDS WITH AN UPPERCUT! DRAKE GOES FOR A SWING- DUCKED BY HANS! HANS GOES FOR A SWING- DUCKED BY DRAKE, AND HE CATCHES HIM WITH A KNEE TO THE GUT!
Jake Mercer: Hans is forced to double over due to the impact of Drake’s knee being driven right into his ribcage, before reeling him on it… AND HE HOOKS HIM ONCE AGAIN, LOOKING FOR A SECOND AND POSSIBLY FINAL ‘DEATH PENALTY’ GOTCH-STYLE TOMBSTONE PILDRIVER TO END THIS MATCH! IF DRAKE CONNECTS WITH THIS, IT’S OVER!
Stew-O: HANS FLIPPED OUT OF IT! HANS FLIPPED OUT OF IT… BUT HE TWEAKED THE BAD LEG WHILE DOING SO, AND HE CRUMBLES BACK TO THE GROUND!
Flannery McCoy: AND DRAKE ARMSTRONG FALLS BACK INTO THE ROPES WHILE HANS WAS TRYING TO GET UP… THE RUNNING DROPKICK TO GRAYSON’S ABDONMEN! ‘HALBERD FROM HELL!!’
Jake Mercer: NO! HANS SLIPPED OUT OF THE WAY, CAUSING DRAKE TO CRUMBLE TO THE MAT AS HE GETS BACK UP, LIMPING TOWARD AND PULLING HIM UP AND INTO POSITION… FOR THE ‘HEAT TWIST!!!’ THE ‘HEAT TWIST’ CONNECTS, AND DRAKE GETS TURNED INSIDE OUT!
Stew-O: Despite all of the torment that Hans Grayson has been through in this match, the injury to the knee and leg, the pain that he has felt, the agony that he has to deal with, he is still in this match, and he might be looking to put an end to Drake Armstrong and win the Interwire Championship right here!
Flannery McCoy: And Hans is going to do it, as he goes to the top rope! He scales to the top while Drake was still laid out by the ‘Heat Twist’ lariat… AND HANS GRAYSON IS GOING TO PUT AN END TO THIS MATCH ONCE AND FOR ALL… THE 450 SPLASH!!! ‘GRAYSON SPLASH!!!!’
Jake Mercer: OH MY GOD-
Stew-O: -DRAKE MOVED OUT OF THE WAY! DRAKE MOVED OUT OF THE WAY AND HANS CRASHES AND BURNS INTO THE MAT! HANS IS HURTING – BAD, AND DRAKE COMES IN WITH A CRUCIFIX PIN! NOT THIS WAY!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Flannery McCoy: IT’S NOT OVER! IT’S NOT OVER! HANS GRAYSON KICKS OUT! But the damage might be done. :lupe:
Jake Mercer: You can say that much, Flannery. And, I think Drake is looking for what could be the true final nail in the coffin of this Interwire Championship match! He grabs Hans by the hair, dragging him to the centre of the ring as he begins to bring him back up to his feet… AND HE PULLS HIM INTO THE DOUBLE UNDERHOOK, UP INTO THE CANADIAN BACKBREAKER RACK POSITION!
Stew-O: No… NO!
Flannery McCoy: AND HE PLANTS HANS DOWN INTO THE MAT WITH THE TIGER DRIVER! HOLY SHIT! THAT’S ‘SCORCHED EARTH!!’
(… … …)
(… … …)
(… … …)
Jake Mercer: OH MY GOD… HANS GRAYSON JUST FOUND A WAY TO COUNTER THE TIGER DRIVER WITH A FRANKENSTEINER!!! HE JUST PLANTED DRAKE INTO THE MAT AND SCRAMBLES BACK TO HIS FEET, AND INTO THE CORNER! THIS IS INSANITY!
Stew-O: Drake is dazed, and he is confused! Hans is looking to bring the feeling back to his knee in the corner, as he was shouting for Drake Armstrong to get back up to his feet! Grayson is desperate; to put an end to this match, to become the Interwire Champion!
Flannery McCoy: Drake begins to slowly get his way back up to his feet, as Hans was poised in the corner, ready to strike, ready to put an end to all of this, AS DRAKE TURNS AROUND, AND RIGHT INTO THE ‘FLAMING PUNCH!’ THE ‘FLAMING PUNCH’ BY GRAYSON CONNECTS! ANOTHER FLYING CLOSED FIST SHOT AND THAT COMPLETELY TAKES DRAKE OFF OF HIS FEET!
Jake Mercer: AND HANS GRAYSON ISN’T DONE THERE! HE SCRAMBLES BACK TO THE OTHER CORNER, MAKING HIS WAY BACK TO THE TOP ROPE, AS DRAKE WAS OUT COLD… AND HE IS GOING TO LOOK FOR THE 450 SPLASH AGAIN! HE IS GOING TO LOOK FOR ANOTHER ATTEMPT AT THE ‘GRAYSON SPLASH-‘
Stew-O: -OH COME ON!!! HOW DID DRAKE EVEN GET BACK UP TO HIS FEET THAT QUICKLY? HE JUST SCRAMBLED OVER INTO THE ROPES AND BOUNCED OFF THEM, FORCING HANS TO FALL GROIN FIRST INTO THE TURNBUCKLE AND ROPES! Drake yanks Hans off of the top rope and brings him back to the ground as Hans was hurting, bad!
Flannery McCoy: AND WITH HANS SEATED IN THE RIGHT POSITION, THIS WAS DRAKE ARMSTRONG’S MOMENT! HE RUNS OFF OF THE ROPES, WITH HANS NOWHERE TO GO… AS HE SHOOTS FORWARD AND NAILS THE RUNNING DROPKICK TO THE ABDOMEN! THE ‘HALBERD FROM HELL!!’ CONNECTS THIS TIME!
Jake Mercer: DRAKE ROLLS HANS OVER AND HE HOOKS THE LEG! THIS IS IT! AND STILL THE EAW INTERWIRE CHAMPION! THE FUTURE REMAINS ON TOP OF THE INTERWIRE DIVISION!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Stew-O: :krabs:
Flannery McCoy: :krabs:
Jake Mercer: Okay, this is just getting insane at this point.
Stew-O: I agree with you, Jake, BECAUSE HANS GRAYSON GOT HIS FOOT ON THE ROPE! HANS GRAYSON GOT HIS FOOT ON THE ROPE AND THAT CAUSES THE ROPE BREAK FOR THIS MATCH, AND DRAKE ARMSTRONG COULDN’T BELIEVE IT! I COULDN’T BELIEVE IT! NO ONE HERE IN FLORIDA COULD BELIEVE IT! HOW IS HE STILL FIGHTING LIKE THIS?!
Flannery McCoy: This is all it will take to become the Interwire Champion and hold that title proudly here in EAW! Both men are willing to give their all in order to be on the top of the mountain here in Elite Answers Wrestling! A rivalry dating all the way back to the first Dynasty MLE of the season when it was Hans Grayson defending the New Breed Championship against Drake Armstrong, now almost a full year later with Drake Armstrong defending the Interwire Championship against Hans Grayson! Both men have been tangled up in this war against one another for a full calendar year, and even tonight, neither man is looking to give up!
(Drake Armstrong began to pull himself back up to his feet. You could see the frustration, the annoyance, the anger and the pure rage that was in his facial expression, showing in his body language as he was all tensed up and ready to put an end to this match once and for all at any given moment. Somehow, Hans Grayson has found a way to survive every last move that Drake has thrown at him. What more can someone give to this ring before enough was enough?)
Jake Mercer: Drake is now getting back to his feet, making his way over into te corner as the referee continued to check on Hans Grayson, asking him if he really wanted to continue and keep fighting in this match. It was clear that even though Hans was severely hurt, from head, to the leg and right down to toe. But he was not willing to give up.
Stew-O: Wait… Jake, Flannery, what is Drake doing?
(While the referee was checking on Hans, Drake was seen resting his chest up against the turnbuckles in the corner while looking down, clearly trying to hide something as he… pulled something out of his trunks.)
Flannery McCoy: OH COME ON… NOT LIKE THIS, DRAKE!
(It was the ring. The ornate ring emblazoned with the Armstrong Family’s symbol. A ring that has been very important in the recent months, the beginning of the feud that had involved himself, Grayson, and Machina. And now, on the grandest stage of Pain for Pride, Drake Armstrong looked to end this the only way that he knew how.)
Stew-O: That bastard!
Jake Mercer: Hans Grayson begins to get back up to his feet, as Drake gave the ring one last kiss while he was in the corner, and as Hans turned around… DRAKE COMES RUNNING, LOOKING TO BLAST HANS RIGHT IN THE FACE WITH THE RING-
(… … …)
(But he was stopped in his tracks.)
Stew-O: HA- HAHAHAHAHA! HE GOT CAUGHT!
Flannery McCoy: THE REFEREE JUST STOPPED ARMSTRONG FROM STRIKING HANS WITH THE RING! HE SAW DRAKE SLIPPING IT ON IN THE CORNER AND HE WASN’T GOING TO ALLOW IT TO END LIKE THAT, AS HE RIPS THE RING OFF OF DRAKE’S HAND!
Drake Armstrong: (off-mic) WHAT?! ARE YOU KIDDING ME? LET GO OF THAT, YOU PEASANT!
(Drake followed behind the referee as he made his way toward the corner of the ring in order to hand the ring off to one of the timekeepers. He made sure to scream profanities and insults in pure rage as this happened.)
Jake Mercer: Wait… WHAT DOES HANS HAVE NOW?!
Flannery McCoy: IS THAT- BRASS KNUCKLES?!
(And as Drake sighed and shook his head, he turned his attention back over to Hans Grayson… then it happened.)
( # *POOOOOOOOOOOW!*)
Stew-O: HOLY SHIT! HANS GRAYSON JUST BLASTED DRAKE ARMSTRONG RIGHT IN THE FACE WITH THE BRASS KNUCKLES… AND YOU KNOW WHAT?! THAT WAS DESERVED! TRULY. AFTER ALL OF THE CHEAP WAYS OUT DRAKE HAS TAKEN AS CHAMPION, EVEN BEFORE, THAT IS RIGHTFULLY DESERVED!
Flannery McCoy: AND HANS IS GOING TO SLIDE THE PAIR OF BRASS KNUCKLES OUT OF THE RING, QUICKLY DISPOSING OF THEM AS HE HAD A HUGE SMIRK ON HIS FACE! HE JUST KNOCKED THE INTERWIRE CHAMPION OUT COLD AND BEAT HIM AT HIS OWN GAME!
(Drake Armstrong had just been laid out in the centre of the ring by Hans Grayson with the brass knuckles, the referee saw nothing, and the fans were loving every last second of it. This was Hans Grayson’s moment. He wasn’t allowing another moment at Pain for Pride be taken away from him. So, as he made his way back out of the ring and onto the apron, he made sure to scream and shout at the top of his lungs, getting all of Florida behind him once more, while also bringing Drake back up to his feet.)
Jake Mercer: ALL OF FLORIDA IS BEHIND THE FIRE HEART, DRAKE ARMSTRONG GOT BEAT AT HIS OWN GAME AND YET HE WAS STILL SOMEHOW MOVING, BUT I DON’T THINK HE WILL BE MOVING FOR LONG… AS HANGS GRAYSON SLINGSHOTS HIMSELF INTO THE RING, AND HE TURNS DRAKE ARMSTRONG INSIDE OUT WITH THE ‘BURNING SHOT LARIAT!’ AND THIS TIME AROUND, IT CONNECTED WITH PRECISION, IT CONNECTED RIGHTFULLY!
Stew-O: But Jake, Hans isn’t going for a cover! After all that he has been through, he wants to put an END to Drake Armstrong once and for all, so much so that he doesn’t care how much he needs to do, he doesn’t even want Drake moving any more!
(Hans fell back into the corner, pulling himself back up to his feet as the ‘Burning Shot Lariat’ had clearly taken an effect on him, but he was still fighting. As he brought himself back up, he turned his attention back to Drake Armstrong, who, despite the shot with the brass knuckles, despite the lariat, was still somehow getting back to his feet.)
Flannery McCoy: AND HANS GRAYSON BOLTS IN AT DRAKE ARMSTRONG… FLIPPING OVER HIM AND HE CONNECTS WITH ‘HIGH HEAT!!!” OH MY GOD! THE JUMPING SOMERSAULT FLIPPED RIGHT INTO THE UNPRETTIER! COUNT TO ONE HUNDRED, AS HANS ROLLS DRAKE OVER AND SHOOTS THE HALF, HOOKS THE FAR LONG.
Stew-O: WE…
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Flannery McCoy: HAVE…
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Jake Mercer: A NEW…
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Stew-O: INTERWIRE CHAMPION!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘The Leaving Song Pt. II’ once more hit the speakers of the arena. The crowd exploded into an eruption of cheers throughout the whole entire stadium, as it was over. After a full year of this feud that has lasted ever since Hans Grayson was the New Breed Champion, it has concluded with the Interwire Championship going off of Drake Armstrong, and onto the Fire Heart.)
Stephie Love: HERE IS YOUR WINNER… ***AND NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEW*** EAW INTERWIRE CHAMPION… HE IS ‘FIRE HEART!!!!!!!!’ HANSSSSSSSSSS GRAYSONNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stew-O: HE’S DONE IT! LIVE TONIGHT IN A JAM PACKED STADIUM HERE IN FLORIDA, WE HAVE CROWNED A BRAND NEW EAW INTERWIRE CHAMPION! WHAT A WAY FOR THIS MATCH TO END, WHAT A MATCH, I TRULY CANNOT BELIEVE WHAT WE WITNESSED!
Flannery McCoy: Both of these men went through hell and back in order to walk out of Pain for Pride Kingdom as the new Interwire Champion, yet it was one slip up by Drake Armstrong who thought he would get away with cheating himself into victory that cost him here tonight, and we have a NEW champion! Congratulations to the Fire Heart, congratulations to Hans Grayson!
(As Hans Grayson had gotten back up to his feet, despite the damage that had been done to the knee, the damage that had been done to his leg, he walked out of Pain for Pride Kingdom tonight, a champion. The Interwire Championship is handed to him, as he raises it high into the air. Drake Armstrong, laid out cold. Only one man would walk out of Kingdom as champion tonight, and that was the Fire Heart himself.)
(Pain for Pride Kingdom would then go to a commercial break, telling you to avoid committing tax evasion, featuring Drake Armstrong.)

Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS A BIG BEEFY SLAPPING MEAT TRIPLE THREAT SET FOR ONE-FALL!
CROWD: ONE-FALL!
(‘Rise Today’ by Alter Bridge begins to play. The crowd waits in anticipation…and then out walks Terry Chambers. There is a chill in the air as he coldly steps out onto the stage. The audience immediately begins to boo as loudly as they can. He just nods his head and smirks.)
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST…FROM DETROIT, MICHIGAN…WEIGHING IN TONIGHT AT 257 POUNDS…HE IS ‘THE BARBARIC CARNIVORE’…TEERRRRRYYYY CHAAAMMMMBBBEERRRS!
Eve: And this match is set to be a straight-up brawl! Terry Chambers is a man possessed! He has one goal in mind that is to get his hands on a world championship! Tonight however, he is out for blood!
(As he marches down to the ring, pyro explodes behind him. Terry Chambers gets inside the ring and climbs up to the top turnbuckle, staring out at the crowd. His attention snaps to the stage. Suddenly, his music stops and the lights dim in the arena. A white spotlight shines down on the stage, illuminating it in its entirety. ‘In the Air Tonight (Cover)’ by the Protomen begins to play. All lights in the arena are cut off as The Mad Titan himself walks out onto the stage.)
Gina Romano: AND HIS OPPONENT…FROM LONG ISLAND, NEW YORK…WEIGHING IN AT 265 POUNDS…HE IS ‘THE MAD TITAN’…’THE PERFECT STORM’…SCOTT DIAAAAAMMOOOOND!
Gavin Kirkland: This is a man walking in Pain for Pride with nothing but victory on the mind! I mean, he could be crawling at this speed, but nonetheless! Diamond is looking to end this season with a massive win!
(The spotlight follows him down to the ring as he walks with purpose. He gets inside the ring and breathes in Pain for Pride. The light follows him as he stares down Chambers. The two then turn towards the stage, waiting for the third man. ‘Telephone Call from Istanbul’ by Tom Waits begins as the screen turns black and white. The spotlight that was on Diamond moves back towards the stage and becomes red. It shines down on Kirk Redwood as he makes his out. As he does, he’s slapping his face as hard as he can, hyping himself up.)
Gina Romano: AND THEIR OPPONENT…FROM BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS…HE IS ‘UNKILLABLE’…KIRRRRKK REEDDDDWOOOOODDD!
(Redwood punches the ground and pyro explodes down the entire ramp. Color returns the screen. As he stands back up, his girlfriend Amanda Miller appears behind him. He takes her hand and marches down to the ring with fury in his eyes.)
Deadprez: This is the biggest match of Redwood’s career! Last year he was one-half of the Off-Brand Amphetamines, but he spent this season proving himself as a dangerous singles competitor! He claims to be Unkillable! I think we’re going to find out if that’s true tonight! This is the type of match that could alter his trajectory!
(Redwood stations Amanda at ringside and then kisses her. He then turns back inside the ring and gets right in the face of his two opponents. The ref forces these three beefy boys to separate and then calls for the bell.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Gavin Kirkwood: And you might as well call that hell’s bell because that is exactly what’s about to break loose! These three monsters are staring each other down like lions in the wild, waiting for someone to make their move! Kirk Redwood stomps across the ring with confidence, getting right in the face of Terry Chambers! They lock eyes for a moment BEFORE REDWOOD SLAPS HIM UPSIDE THE HEAD!
Eve: That shook the Barbaric Carnivore but he’s still standing! He turns back towards Redwood and he goes to return the favor! BUT SCOTT DIAMOND GRABS HIM FROM BEHIND! He drops Chambers with a massive german suplex! He used the distraction to make the first real move of the match! But now his attention turns towards Kirk! He stares down at him and all he gets is a smile from Redwood! AND SMILE TURNS INTO A HEADBUTT! Diamond is sent stumbling into the ropes! Kirk Redwood rushes him down, following up with a massive knee strike! And now he runs to the other side of the ring, trying to build up speed for another shot…
Deadprez: BUT HE’S MET BY A BIG BOOT FROM TERRY CHAMBERS! Scott Diamond comes from behind looking for another german suplex! BUT CHAMBERS IS ABLE TO WARD HIM OFF WITH AN ELBOW! Chambers then follows up with an uppercut! Once again, Diamond isn’t knocked off his feet even from that mighty blow! So his opponents tries for another…THIS TIME LOOKING FOR A BIG BOOT! DIAMOND CATCHES HIM! He spikes down the leg and then pulls in Chambers for the belly-to-belly suplex! He plants him into the mat with ease! The Hall of Famer immediately scrapes him back up for another! LOOK AT THE STRENGTH OF DIAMOND! He is holding the 250 pound Terry Chambers up in the air!
Gavin Kirkwood: Kirk Redwood is back inside, hoping to take advantage of this situation! But Diamond sees him! SO HE TOSSES CHAMBERS RIGHT AT HIM! Redwood wasn’t able to get out of the way in time! I can’t believe he just tossed Chambers like that! Diamond rolls him out of the ring and decides to test just Unkillable Redwood is! He picks him up and brings a knee straight into his chest! He then throws Redwood into the ropes with an irish whip! HE GETS HIM WITH A JUMPING KNEE! It knocks him straight down into the mat! He takes a fistful of hair from Redwood and drags him back up! BELLY-TO-BELLY SUPLEX! He tosses Redwood all the way across the ring!
Eve: Redwood may be tough, but that just doesn’t cut when you’re going toe-to-toe with a Mad Titan! Scott Diamond brings him back up again, clearly not done with him! Wait a second here…it looks like he’s setting up for that back suplex! HE’S ABOUT TO END THIS ONE ALREADY! POLAR VORTEX ON KIRK REDWOOD!
Deadprez: REDWOOD COUNTERS WITH A DRAGON SLEEPER! I can’t believe he was able to lock this in, especially on Diamond! The big man tries to pry the arms off his throat, but Redwood’s grip is stronger than steel! DIAMOND IS ABLE TO BRING A KNEE UP INTO REDWOOD’S FACE! BUT HE REFUSES TO RELEASE THE HOLD! Diamond does it a second time, this time getting Redwood right on the nose! IT IS STILL LOCKED IN! KIRK REDWOOD GOES TO PICK HIM UP! IS HE TRYING TO DO WHAT I THINK HE’S DOING?
Gavin Kirkwood: DRAGON SUPLEX! I can’t believe he pulled that off! And now he turns around to the outside where Terry Chambers is back to his feet! Kirk Redwood exits the ring and goes for the takedown on Chambers! It looks like his opponent was prepared for it, clubbing down on his back with a massive forearm! He grabs Redwood…AND DROPS HIM ONTO THE APRON WITH A BELLY-TO-BACK SUPLEX! The spine of Redwood crashes into the steel! He could have trouble even walking after that! But Terry Chambers could less if Kirk rolls into Showdown in a wheelchair! He is simply here to win!
Eve: He tosses his opponent back inside the ring and it seems like Diamond has manages to get back to at least a knee! Chambers grabs him and connects with a snap suplex! He looks back at Redwood who is using the ropes to crawl back to pull himself back up! BUT HE TAKES A BOOT STRAIGHT TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD! He’s now collapsed onto the middle rope! There seems to be a lightbulb going off in the mind of Chambers! He goes out onto the apron and drags Redwood a little farther out! RUNNING ELBOW DROP RIGHT TO THE BACK OF REDWOOD! His face bounces off the apron and just falls to the outside! He climbs up on the apron with a smile on his face looking down at Dog of War!
Terry Chambers (Off-Mic): Do you think your daughter is used to watching her old man get his ass-kicked yet?
Deadprez: Terry Chambers with the trash talk, but I think he’s about to regret taking his eye off the ball! He turns back around and Scott Diamond is there! HE THROWS HIM BACK INSIDE THE RING! Chambers scrambles back to his feet but Diamond drives him into the corner with a massive forearm! He then grabs him…AND SENDS HIM INTO THE OPPOSITE CORNER AS HARD AS HE CAN! Chambers’ chest collides with the turnbuckle and he just drops back! He clutches at his chest in pain, but it is far from over! Scott Diamond picks him back up and lays him onto the top rope! What does he have in mind here?
Gavin Kirkwood: Diamond takes a few steps back…BEFORE RUSHING FORWARD AND GETTING CHAMBERS IN THE SPINE WITH A RUNNING KNEE! He then just keeps bringing his knee up into the spine, just punishing his opponent in the worst of ways! He’s had enough now, pulling him off the turnbuckle AND SENDING HIM OVERHEAD WITH THE FALLAWAY SLAM! Here comes the first cover of the match!
ONE!
TW-
Eve: Terry Chambers is able to kick out before the two! Diamond’s work isn’t done yet! He reaches down and deadlifts Chambers up for a powerbomb! Chambers starts fighting back! He brings down hard right hands to the top of his opponents’ skull! Scott Diamond falls down to a knee with…BUT NOW CHAMBERS IS ONE THE LIFTING HIM! HE GETS HIM UP FOR THE SIT-OUT POWERBOMB! Diamond however, is able to reach out and get a hand on the top rope! Chambers tries to pry him away but he’s holding on for dear life! Diamond is able to get one of his feet free and he kicks Chambers right on the chin! Chambers stumbles back and his opponent looks to keep on the offense! DIAMOND WITH THE ROLLING FOREARM!
Deadprez: BUT CHAMBERS DUCKS UNDER IT…LIFTING DIAMOND ONTO HIS SHOULDERS! SAMOAN DROP! Just like that Scott Diamond has been laid out by Barbaric Carnivore! Chambers stomps down right on his chest! And now he’s going off with those stomps, taking out a season of frustration on The Hall of Famer! You want to talk someone with a chip on their shoulder, talk about this man! Chambers now grabs the wrist of Diamond and pulls back to a vertical base! AND THEN PULLS HIM IN FOR A FOREARM! Diamond nearly buckles but Chambers isn’t letting him hit the floor quite yet! HE PULLS HIM BACK IN FOR ANOTHER! Still refusing to let Diamond fall…he keeps a hold of that wrist! AND HE PULLS IN FOR A SAMOAN DROP! Here comes the cover from Chambers!
ONE!

Gavin Kirkwood: Diamond is able to get his shoulder up here! You can see the frustration on the face of his opponent! I think Diamond might soon regret kicking out here! Chambers grabs him by the mohawk and brings him back to his feet! He lifts him up on his shoulders once again…I THINK WE MIGHT SEE THE T-5!
Eve: NO! Kirk Redwood is back inside the ring! Chambers just drops Diamond down, not wanting to be caught with his guard dropped! He stares down Redwood who is simply smiling back at him! He lunges at him, trying to get him up for a spinebuster! Redwood puts an elbow in the back of his opponent’s head before shoving Chambers away! That does not seem to stop Chambers from rushing back towards his opponent, this time looking for a discus clothesline! REDWOOD CATCHES THE ARM! HE LOCKS IN THE CROSS-ARMBREAKER OUT OF NOWHERE!
Deadprez: He’s wrenching back on his opponent’s arm, almost like he wants to break it off! You can tell that Chambers is definitely in pain here! He tries to fight out of it, trying to flip onto his stomach…BUT REDWOOD BRINGS THE LEG DOWN ON HIS FACE! The Dog of War is just kicking as rapidly as he can now, just doing whatever it takes to prevent Chambers from escaping! This is the type of viciousness that Kirk Redwood has been displaying the last few months! Perhaps Chambers underestimated him!
Gavin Kirkwood: Chambers is finally able to shove him away! He tries to get back up, but Redwood on him like a fly on feces! He delivers a stiff right to the side of his opponent’s head! Redwood then grabs Chambers and gets him up…SAITO SUPLEX! Redwood rolls right back on him and starts raining elbows down right into Chamber’s face! Terry tries to block the assault, but Redwood switches to fists and manages to penetrate his defenses! He reaches down…AND GETS CHAMBERS IN A GUILLOTINE CHOKE! Another submission maneuver from Redwood as he attempts to tear his opponent apart here!
Eve: SCOTT DIAMOND ISN’T ABOUT TO LET THAT HAPPEN! He’s back up and he grabs Redwood by the waist and pulls him away Chambers! HERE COMES THE GERMAN SUPLEX! He launches Kirk Redwood and goes to focus on Chambers! He didn’t notice that Redwood landed on his feet! Redwood comes at him from behind, kicking the leg of Diamond out from under him! Redwood then gets him front of him…AND BRINGS A KNEE INTO HIS FACE! The Unkillable Kirk heads to the ropes to start building up some speed! BLITZ! KRIEG! BOP!
Deadprez: BUT DIAMOND DUCKS FORWARD TO AVOID IT! Redwood is able to catch himself on the ropes, but the speed in which The Perfect Storm can strike should never be underestimated! He meets Redwood there and flips him right over the top rope! He grabs Redwood by the throat…AND DRIVES HIM INTO THE CORNER POST! He damn well nearly threw him into it! With a sickening thud, the back of Redwood’s head collides with the metal! He falls to the outside and I don’t know how he’s going to get back up here! He turns back around to focus on Chambers, but it looks like Chambers has rolled to the outside! His eyes are darting back and forth between the elitists, deciding which one he’s going to finish off!
Gavin Kirkwood: It looks like he wants to put Redwood down! He takes a step onto the apron! It looks like Kirk Redwood is trying to get back up, but all he can manage is a crawl! THAT ISN’T GOING TO DO HIM ANY GOOD! SCOTT DIAMOND COMES CRASHING DOWN ON HIM WITH THE MOONRAKER!
Eve: That diving knee drop connects right in the lower back of Redwood! He might think he’s tough but that type of move could leave him paralyzed! Diamond has taken out one of his opponents, but he wants to make sure Terry Chambers can’t get up either! He stomps on over to his opponent, cruel intentions in mind! It looks like Chambers is reaching underneath the ring, looking for something…but Diamond doesn’t care! He grabs him by the back of the neck…
Deadprez: AND HE GETS WHIPPED ACROSS THE STOMACH WITH A CHAIN! It looks Terry Chambers found exactly what he was looking for here! Scott Diamond is still standing, but Terry swings it down with full force right on his back! This is a man that doesn’t take prisoners or chances! He wraps that now around his fist and gets on top of Diamond! He just begins punching him in the face with that chain, over and over again! Diamond is busted open now, blood pouring down his face! This is brutal, but Chambers will do whatever it takes to win! He now throws Scott Diamond back inside the ring…AND HE GETS WITH THE CHAMBERS OF PAIN! THE FUTURE SHOCK DDT CONNECTS AND THIS COULD BE OVER! COVER!
ONE!
TWO!
T-
Eve: NO! KIRK REDWOOD GETS BACK INSIDE THE RING AND BREAKS IT! He’s barely able to stand right now, but he still made the save! Chambers immediately grabs the chain…AND LOCKS REDWOOD IN A CROSSFACE!
Gavin Kirkland: He is furious that Redwood broke the cover! I would be too! Look at that chain, it’s wedged in the mouth of Kirk, causing unimaginable pain! Could we see him tap out here? Wait a second…Redwood reaches back with his free arm…AND HE PUTS A THUMB IN THE EYE OF CHAMBERS! It causes him to release the hold and Kirk is able to breathe for a moment! BUT IT’S MERELY A MOMENT! Chambers shakes off that cheap trick and whips the chain down on Redwood’s back! With a boot, he shoves Redwood back to the outside so he can focus back on Diamond!
Deadprez: He wraps the chain around the neck of Diamond and drags back up to his feet! DIAMOND UPPERCUTS HIM RIGHT IN THE GUT! He’s trying to fight back here, but Chambers rocks him with a massive uppercut! Diamond is still standing but seems dead on his feet! Chambers grabs the chain and wraps it around his fists once again…HE GOES FOR A DISCUS PUNCH!
Eve: BUT DIAMOND CATCHES HIM WITH A KNEE IN THE JAW! Chambers stumbles back into the ropes while Diamond falls down to the mat! Chambers goes to pick him back up…BUT DIAMOND LAUNCHES HIM WITH A BELLY-TO-BELLY! Chambers tries to pull himself to the outside, but Diamond is a man possessed here! HE GRABS THE LEG OF CHAMBERS AND PULLS HIM BACK UP! HE GETS HIM WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX! Chambers is down but look! He is crawling towards the chain, desperately reaching out for what turned the tide earlier!
Gavin Kirkland: What the f…what does she think she’s doing?
[As Terry Chambers reaches out for the chain, Kirk Redwood’s girlfriend Amanda Miller pulls it out of the ring.]
Deadprez: That right there is karma for Terry Chambers! It was during their match on Showdown in early may where Chambers was mocking her! And now she looks to return the favor! Diamond takes advantage and forces Chambers back up! He grabs him by the arm…AND HITS HIM WITH THE RIPCORD CLOTHESLINE! BUT HE ISN’T DONE YET! He keeps a hold of the arm of his opponent, looking to deliver some payback for earlier in the match! A SECOND RIPCORD CLOTHESLINE! And now he brings him back up…AND HE PULLS HIM IN FOR THE T-BONE SUPLEX! Scott Diamond is not here to play games, he is here to win, plain and simple! SO, HE LOCKS CHAMBERS IN THE CULLINAN CLUTCH!
Gavin Kirkland: This is a grounded Full Nelson, putting tons of pressure on the back of his opponent’s neck! Once again, Chambers is locked into a submission hold here! The difference however is that Scott Diamond is a freak of nature! There is no way that Chambers is going to be able to escape here! Unfortunately for him, it looks like Kirk Redwood still can’t get back up on the outside! Chambers tries to reach out towards the face of Diamond, but he amplifies the pressure! It looks like he might actually be fading! Could we see him pass out here! I know I would have!
Eve: WAIT A SECOND! CHAMBERS IS ABLE TO ROLL OVER ONTO HIS FRONT! Scott Diamond still has the submission locked in, but it seems like Chambers is trying to push himself back up to his feet! Diamond frees one of his arms however and rapidly elbows the back of his opponent’s head! He then locks back in the hold and rolls back to the original position! This one might as well be over! Terry Chambers’ eyes are beginning to glaze over!

WACK!
Deadprez: REDWOOD WITH THE STEEL CHAIR! He just brought it right down on Scott Diamond’s skull, breaking up the hold! He picks up Scott Diamond now…AND HE JUST UNLEASHES STRIKES! Redwood hits with punches, palms and slaps, just beating down the Mad Titan! He then hooks the arms…AND HE GETS HIM WITH BRAINDEAD BUSTER RIGHT ON THE STEEL CHAIR! I mean, Diamond’s head just met that steel chair! If I was Kirk I would just pin the man and get this over with! That’s clearly not what he has in mind though! Redwood goes back to the outside and starts routing around underneath the ring! What is he looking for?
(The crowd bursts out cheering as they see what he’s found.)
Gavin Kirkland: HE’S GOT A TABLE! Kirk Redwood is out here to make a statement at Pain for Pride and this is one way to do it!
Eve: He gets back inside the ring and starts setting it up! He heads over to Scott Diamond…BUT CHAMBERS GRABS ONTO HIS LEG! Chambers does not want to let Redwood have this! Redwood shrugs and drops a knee right down onto his head! He then brings Terry Chambers back to his feet instead! HE GETS HIM ACROSS THE CHEST WITH A MASSIVE CHOP! He then tries placing him onto the table…BUT CHAMBERS TAGS HIM WITH AN UPPERCUT!
Deadprez: Redwood replies with one of his own! AND THEN CHAMBERS DOES IT AGAIN! These two are now going back and forth, just brawling in the middle of the ring! Chambers tries to break this stalemate with a discus clothesline, but Redwood ducks under it! He slips behind him and grabs him by the waist! He drags his opponent over to where the table AND THERE’S THE GERMAN SUPLEX!
Gavin Kirkland: CHAMBERS REFUSES TO TAKE A TRIP TO TABLE LAND! Splinterville is not where he intends on visiting tonight as he reaches back and places Redwood in a headlock! Redwood, still defiant, tries for a back suplex instead! Chambers shoves himself away to avoid it! Redwood rushes at him once again…LOOKING FOR THE RUNNING UPPERCUT! It connects and sends Terry Chambers into the corner! Redwood grabs hold of the steel chair once again! HE BASHES CHAMBERS OVER THE HEAD OVER AND OVER AGAIN! Chambers just collapses onto the mat, barely conscious!
Kirk Redwood (off-mic): Terry, from everyone here on Showdown…go fuck yourself.
Eve: AND WITH THAT REDWOOD WEDGES THE CHAIR AROUND THE HEAD OF HIS OPPONENT! What does he have in mind here? He goes to the top rope and the crowd seems to be pumped up for whatever he’s about to do! I think Terry Chambers is about to regret messing with Kirk Redwood! HE DELIVERS A TOP ROPE KNEE DROP RIGHT ON THE CHAIR! HE MIGHT HAVE JUST BROKEN TERRY’S NECK! Redwood goes for the cover!
ONE!
TWO!
THRE-
Deadprez: DIAMOND TACKLES REDWOOD RIGHT OFF OF CHAMBERS! The Cold-Blooded Killer is bleeding all over the ring, but even through that crimson mask you can see just much he wants to hurt his opponent! Redwood tries to get back on his feet but here comes the double leg takedown from Diamond! AND NOW HE IS JUST BEATING HIM WITH PUNCHES, ELBOWS AND FOREARMS! This is called the Ground and Pound! Every strike seems to hit harder than the last! The weakest could have been a knockout blow for you or I! Diamond though keeps going until Redwood doesn’t appear to be moving at all! He calmly rises back to his feet and brings Redwood with him!
Eve: He then places Redwood on top of the table! MORE BIG RIGHT HANDS! He makes sure that Kirk is not going to be able to that table on his own accord! And now his eyes turn towards Chambers who is still unable to move! He picks him up and places him into the corner! AND THEN HE RUSHES AT HIM AND A DRIVES INTO HIS STOMACH! What’s he doing now? It appears that he’s placing Chambers on the top rope, facing the audience!
Gavin Kirkland: He drags the table with Kirk Redwood a little closer and this is bad news! He climbs up on the top turnbuckle and grabs Chambers from underneath the shoulders! Is he going for what I think he’s going for?
Deadprez: COLD HARD JUSTICE! HE HITS A TOP ROPE VARIATION OF HIS CRUCIFIX POWERBOMB! The entire mass of Terry Chambers comes crashing down on Kirk Redwood! Scott Diamond throws Chambers to the outside and covers Redwood! This one is over!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!

Eve: THE SHOULDER IS UP! A millisecond before the ref’s hand went down for the three, Redwood managed to kick out! I don’t know if he’s truly Unkillable, but it seems like tonight he’s indestructible! Scott Diamond just looks at Redwood with disappointment!
Scott Diamond (off-mic): Kid, don’t make me kill you.
Gavin Kirkland: And with that, he goes to the outside and starts looking for a weapon of his own! It looks like he’s found quite a few things! He throws another chair inside the ring and pulls out a sledgehammer! It seems like he might actually try and kill Kirk Redwood! Rest in peace, I guess! He goes back inside the ring and sets up the chair! He then drags the lifeless body of Redwood up and sits him down in it! He isn’t done with this dastardly scheme yet, picking up that other nearly broken chair and placing it right on Redwood’s chest!
Deadprez: Scott Diamond lifts up the sledgehammer and places it right against Kirk Redwood! There is just a look in his eyes right now, a look that says he meant what he just said! HE BRINGS THE SLEDGEHAMMER BACK AND STRIKES THE CHAIR AS HARD AS HE CAN! REDWOOD TOPPLES BACKWARDS! Someone might want to start calling the ambulance! He goes for another cover and this time, it really is over!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!

Eve: HOW IS THIS EVEN POSSIBLE! Kirk gets the shoulder up one more time! I mean, we are witnessing the truly indomitable human spirit tonight! What will it take for Diamond to actually end this match? What’s he doing now? He grabs Redwood and places him onto one of the chairs face-first! Then he lays the other one right on top of his head! He has the sledgehammer in his hands and he lines up his shot!
Scott Diamond (off-mic): Don’t worry, all dogs go to heaven.
[He raises the sledgehammer intent on caving in the head of Kirk Redwood. Suddenly his eyes widen.]
Gavin Kirkland: TERRY CHAMBERS WITH THE LOW BLOW! He just took perfect advantage! He now takes the sledgehammer right out of Diamond’s hand as he falls to the floor! CHAMBERS DRIVES IT RIGHT DOWN ON THE LEG OF DIAMOND! He grabs one of the chairs and wedges one of those massive legs between it! AND HE BRINGS THE HAMMER DOWN! Clearly there is a very specific intent here by Chambers, an intent to prevent him from ever walking again!
Deadprez: And now Terry Chambers takes hold of the leg…TORTURE CHAMBER!
Eve: He bends the leg of Diamond over his head! AND LOOK AT THAT! HE’S ACTUALLY LIFTING THE MAD TITAN UP AS HE DOES IT! Diamond reaches out for the ropes, hoping to drag himself out of this situation! Chambers walks away from them, cutting off his escape route! Diamond tries to use his free leg to kick at Chambers face, but it only makes the Barbaric Carnivore lock the hold in deeper! We might actually see Scott Diamond tap out here!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT NO! He manages to grab onto one of the chairs! Diamond swings it up and manages to catch Chambers in the face! He drops the hold and falls backwards! Scott Diamond tries to get back to his feet but Chambers attempts to cut him down! DIAMOND gets him with a right hand to the face! Scott Diamond tries to stand back up, but his leg is buckling! He still lunges at his opponent, looking for an some sort of suplex! Chambers just boots him right in the knee! AND THEN BRINGS A FOREARM DOWN ON HIS BACK! He picks him back…AND DROPS HIM WITH THE SIT-OUT POWERBOMB! COVER!
ONE!
TWO!
THR-
Deadprez: Scott Diamond is able to kick out! Terry Chambers looks absolutely livid at this! He rolls Diamond back to his feet! He takes a few steps back…AND THEN RUNS FORWARD WITH THE SOMERSAULT NECKBREAKER! Chambers now heads to the corner and waits for Diamond to get back up! He wants to finish this right now! Diamond slowly rises to his feet but I don’t think he knows where he is! I know where he is…right in the crosshairs of Terry Chambers! HERE COMES THE RANDOM ACTS OF VIOLENCE!
Eve: BUT SCOTT DIAMOND STEPS OUT OF THE WAY! He immediately leaps on top of Chambers and begins throwing down strikes! Terry Chambers blocks one of his fists! He grabs the mohawk of Diamond and brings him in for a headbutt! Diamond crawls off him and attempts to stand! Chambers is quicker on the draw! He picks him up and sends him into the ropes with an irish whip! HE GETS HIM WITH A TILT-A-WHIRL BACKBREAKER! Chambers is in firm control of this match here! We are in the late stages though, you have to think there’s not much more that these men can do to each other! Terry Chambers has an idea though! He picks up the sledgehammer…AND GOES TO SWING IT DOWN ON THE KNEE OF DIAMOND!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT DIAMOND BRINGS HIS FOOT UP RIGHT INTO THE CROTCH OF CHAMBERS! THE LITTLE GLOCK MIGHT BE SHOOTING ANYTHING TONIGHT! Diamond gets back to his feet and takes hold of the sledgehammer! HE BRINGS IT RIGHT INTO THE HEAD OF HIS OPPONENT! Diamond now goes in for the kill! He puts him in a front facelock and lifts up his feet! DEAD LEVEL DDT! Terry Chamber’s face meets the mat! But The Mad Titan is not done yet! He wants to put a definitive end to this match!
Deadprez: He forces him back up to a vertical base! POINT BLANK BICYCLE KICK! BUT CHAMBERS LUNGES FORWARD AND AVOIDS THE KICK! MOMENT OF SILENCE! That hard head of Chambers collides with Diamond’s and both men fall to the ground! Neither Chambers nor Diamond seem to be able to get back up here! Chambers however crawls over to Diamond, draping his arm over the chest! It’s a cover!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!

Eve: NO WAY!
Deadprez: How the heck is this even possible!
[Inside the ring, Terry Chambers looks completely devastated. The camera follows his gaze.]
Gavin Kirkland: KIRK REDWOOD SLID THE CHAIR RIGHT UNDERNEATH DIAMOND’S SHOULDER! He propped up Diamond for the kick out! And look at shit-eating grin on his face! I don’t know if he’s able to breath right now, let alone do this!
Eve: Chambers grabs him and drags him fully inside the ring! He stands him up and nails with one of the biggest uppercuts I’ve ever seen! Redwood collapses into the ropes and Chambers follows! Redwood bounces off and stumbles right into the grasp of the Barbaric Carnivore! HE PICKS HIM UP ON HIS SHOULDERS! IT’S TIME FOR THE T-5!
Deadprez: REDWOOD SLIPS OFF HIS SHOULDERS! HE THEN GOES TO THE ROPES! .50 CAL! THAT IS THE KNOCKOUT BLOW ON TERRY CHAMBERS THIS HAS TO BE THE END!! REDWOOD WITH THE COVER!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
Gavin Kirkland: SCOTT DIAMOND BREAKS IT UP! He was not about to let his season end like this! He pulls Redwood off of Chambers and just starts laying into him! He throws him into the ropes…AND CATCHES HIM WITH A MASSIVE KNEE TO THE CHEST! Redwood goes down and Diamond locks onto Chambers! He picks up Chambers and drags him towards the ropes! HE GETS HIM WITH A JUMPING KNEE and Chambers collapses into the chest of Diamond!
Eve: SCOTT LIFTS HIM UP! POLAR VORTEX RIGHT ONTO THE ROPES! Chambers lands throat first on the ropes and bounces to the outside!
Deadprez: That was an insane variation of the maneuver! I think we can safely say that Chambers is out for now! All that’s left here inside the ring are Kirk Redwood and Scott Diamond! Diamond slowly limps his way over to Redwood and forces him back to his feet! HE LUNGES FORWARD WITH THE POINT BLANK BICYCLE KICK! IT IS SO OVER!
Gavin Kirkland: NO IT AIN’T! REDWOOD CATCHES THE LEG! He stares down The Mad Titan with absolute hatred in his eyes! And now…NOW HE FLIPS HIM THE BIRD!
Deadprez: AND THEN HE TOSSES THE LEG TO THE SIDE! DIAMOND TURNS AROUND RIGHT INTO A MASSIVE RIGHT HOOK! The Unkillable Kirk Redwood now grabs the arm of Diamond and smiles at him! AND THEN HE PULLS HIM IN FOR THE RIPCORD RIGHT HOOK! ANTI-TANK BULLET! HE MIGHT HAVE JUST KILLED HIM WITH THAT! Redwood now goes for the cover!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘Sinister Purpose’ by Creedence Clearwater Revival begins to play as Kirk Redwood rolls off Scott Diamond and raises his fist in the air in victory!)
Gina Romano; HERE IS YOUR WINNER…THE ‘UNKILLABLE’…KIRK REDDWOOOOOODDDDD!
Deadprez: THE BIGGEST WIN IN KIRK REDWOOD’S SINGLES CAREER! HE STEPPED UP AT PAIN FOR PRIDE!
Eve: Unkillable indeed! After everything he has gone over the years, all the demons in his life that he has had to overcome, Kirk Redwood has finally proved himself here tonight! What an upset! What a moment for this elitist!
Gavin Kirkland: That was a brutal match! These three men were willing to do whatever it took to win! I don’t think Chambers or Diamond expected Redwood to win this! I know I sure didn’t! But he’s done it! He survived these two titans and now heads into Season 18 with many, many eyes on him!
(Amanda Miller enters the ring and hugs Kirk as he’s barely able to stand up. He grabs her and kisses causing the crowd to cheer. The camera pans towards Chambers on the outside who is wounded and enraged. It then goes back inside the ring to show Redwood standing above the unmoving Scott Diamond as the scene fades.)
( The graphic for the next match appears on screen. )

( It soon dissipates as the focus transitions to Gina Romano standing in the center of the ring with a microphone in hand. )
Gina Romano: Ladies and Gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
Gina Romano: AND IF MADISON KALINE LOSES THE MATCH…. SHE MUST RETIRE!
(The crowd oh’s.)
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST FROM BULAWAYO, ZIMBABWE! WEIGHING IN AT 119 POUNDS! …. “THE PRODIGY” AUBURN WARE!!!!!
( ‘Bad Blood’ by Taylor Swift ft. Kendrick Lamar loudly reverberates throughout the speakers as Auburn Ware makes her way out onto the colossal Pain For Pride stage. She’s all smiles, although the pressure of competing in the biggest match of her career is clearly on her mind. Auburn tags many fans on her way down to the ring, running around the ring as she always does before sliding in and climbing the top rope to pose. )
DeadPrez: This early into Auburn’s career, this is as high stakes as it can get! She earned her spot here by winning Madison Kaline’s Worthless Rookie Tournament but Auburn has proven to be anything but that! Her first Pain For Pride and she could make an impact that will go down in history!
Eve: Being tasked with potentially ending Madison Kaline’s career is a tough one, but Auburn did not ask for that! All she wanted was opportunity, but now she can make history as you’ve put it. The question is, is this all too much for Auburn? Is Madison stacking the deck on herself making it tougher for Auburn to live up to?! We’re about to find out.
Gina Romano: HER OPPONENT! SHE HAILS FROM TAMPA BAY, FL.! WEIGHING IN AT 120 POUNDS! “THE MISTRESS OF DEATH” MADISON KALINE!!!!!
( ‘O Fortuna’ by Carl Orff plays to a mixed reaction as Madison Kaline slowly emerges from the back, an extremely determined expression on her face. The EAW Hall Of Famer and former Women’s Champion makes her way down the ramp for what could possibly be the final match of her career. She’s not boastful, but instead entirely focused on trying to make a statement in attempts to secure her career. )
Gavin Kirkland: The saying is that ‘pressure builds diamonds’, but everyone knows that Madison Kaline was one from the very moment she got here! At the risk of her own career, Madison wants to not just prove but see for herself that she’s still got it. She granted Auburn the opportunity of a lifetime but now she is looking to make this moment entirely about herself!
Eve: I suppose the next question is at what cost?! Madison Kaline *is* a legend, no one will ever doubt that – but why has she decided to make it harder? We were guaranteed a great one with these two, but now that we know the stakes… I don’t think either woman wants to let go of a victory that will surely define them for years to come.
( DING! DING! DING! )
DeadPrez: The bell has rung and Madison has just got this killer look in her eyes! Auburn’s smile has faded to an expression of sheer focus and they lock up for the first time. Neither woman can get an advantage over one another, and that really frustrates the veteran, Madison.
Gavin Kirkland: I understand exactly why, but she needs to keep her cool. Madison leans Auburn against the ropes in the collar and elbow tie-up, trying to use the rope break to get free and respect, but Auburn outsmarts her by twisting it over! Madison gets frustrated and they flip all the way around to the turnbuckles!
Eve: Auburn’s got the advantage as she yanks Madison out of the corner and frees from the tie up into an ARM DRAG! Madison gets launched across the ring and she slowly sits up, realizing that she’s been outdone. Begrudgingly, she acknowledges it and uses the ropes to rise up.
DeadPrez: Both women circle back against the ring… Madison charges in and Auburn ducks under her and throws a pair of forearms! She takes the wrist for an irish whip, but Madison twirls under her arm. Auburn turns back and Madison beautifully leaps into a dropkick!
Eve. She keeps it going and drags up Auburn. Madison rams her into the turnbuckles and unleashes onto her with fiery clubbing left and right blows to the head! Auburn tries to cover up but it’s no use!
Gavin Kirkland: Madison takes the wrist of Auburn and sends her across the ring with an irish whip- WAIT! AUBURN RUNS UP THE MIDDLE ROPE, BUT MADISON CHARGES BEHIND AND SHOVES HER OFF!
DeadPrez: AUBURN FLIES OVER THE TOP ROPE AND HITS THE APRON BACK FIRST!
Gavin Kirkland: Right on the hardest part of the ring! Auburn plops to the floor and she is screaming out in agony!
Eve: The tides of this match have completely turned when we least expected it! Madison rolls out and now she goes for that bad back, stomping it out!
DeadPrez: She drags up Auburn and slaps her around. Auburn tries her best to fight back, but she topples over from the clear pain in her back… And all Madison can do about it is laugh.
Eve: Auburn crawls to the apron skirt, and Madison yanks her up. She wraps her arms around her waist and RAMS HER INTO THE APRON! Madison turns and holds onto Auburn, driving her all the way into the barricades! Auburn is wheezing out in agony, now…
Gavin Kirkland: BUT THERE’S MORE! MADISON TAKES AUBURN BY THE WRIST AND DRIVES HER ALL THE WAY TO THE STEEL STEPS WITH AN EXTREMELY AGGRESSIVE IRISH WHIP!
DeadPrez: She’s holding her back! The referee is begging that both women bring it in so he doesn’t have to keep counting! Madison smirks at his reaction and drags up Auburn, throwing her in.
Eve: Auburn is laying in clear agony and Madison rolls in next to her. She stares daggers through the referee as she makes the cover:
Referee: OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEE!!!
Referee: TTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOO!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Auburn kicks out! It’ll take more than that and while Madison may not look happy-
Eve: It was extremely expected! Auburn has shown a lot of grit and determination in Madison’s very tournament! Madison tries to take the waist, but Auburn holds onto the ropes at the last second! Auburn hugs them, knowing what could happen to her back if this works.
DeadPrez: Now she brings them away from the rope! NOPE! AUBURN SPINS BEHIND MADISON AND HOISTS HER UP FOR A GERMAN SUPLEX OF HER OWN!
Gavin Kirkland: Madison clutches the back of her head in pain! She pushes through, trying to rise… But Auburn is waiting for her, SPINNING BACKFIST!
Eve: HOLD ON! MADISON BOUNCES OFF THE ROPES, OUT ON HER FEET! SPINNING HEEL KICK FROM AUB— MADISON CATCHES THE WAIST IN MID-AIR! GERMAN SUPLEX AND SHE BRIDGES IT!
Referee: OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEE!!!
Referee: TTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOO!!!
DeadPrez: AUBURN JOLTS A SHOULDER UP! Madison’s frustrated! More digging deep is needed! Madison drags up Auburn and elbows the back of her head. She takes the wrist and irish whips her into the turnbuckles, charging into a shoulder thrus–
Eve: AUBURN RAISES THE KNEES UP! MADISON’S HEAD CRASHES INTO HER KNEES! She staggers, dazed as Auburn steps out of the ring and quickly climbs the top rope. MISSILE DROPKICK!
Gavin Kirkland: She’s not done either! Madison groggily rises to her feet and Auburn hits off the ropes now! EUROPEAN UPPERCUT! SHE THROWS HER TO THE TURNBUCKLES AND LEAPS INTO A KNEE STRIKE! SHE THROWS HER TO THE CENTER OF THE RING!
Eve: Off the ropes Auburn goes, and she leaps up the middle rope to springboard but Madison grabs her waist as she’s on the ropes! Auburn elbows her! She rains down repeated elbows and Madison lets go, clutching the side of her head in pain…
DeadPrez: OH! AUBURN SPRINGS OFF THE MIDDLE ROPE INTO A CROSSBOD– MADISON LEAPS UP IN MID AIR AND CATCHES HER WITH A DOUBLE KNEE GUTBUSTER! AUBURN BOUNCES OFF HER KNEES, HOLDING HER RIBS IN PAIN!
Gavin Kirkland: WHAT A COUNTER! THAT’S WHY MADISON KALINE HAS BUILT HER REPUTATION! INCREDIBLY QUICK ON HER FEET AT ALL TIMES! SHE MAKES THE COVER!
Referee: OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEE!!!
Referee: TTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOO!!!
Eve: AND AUBURN STILL FINDS A WAY TO GET THE SHOULDER UP! Madison slaps the mat, she’s hoping for that quick victory. She drags up Auburn and takes the head, wasting no time. Auburn raises Madison up and tosses her with a gourdbuster on the top rope! Auburn wheezes out in pain!
Gavin Kirkland: What is Madison going for?! Auburn still lies on the top rope and now Madison is starting to climb the top rope! SHE’S AIMING FOR AUBURN ON THE TOP ROPE!
DeadPrez: LOOK OUT! AUBURN SLIPS OFF THE ROPE AND RUSHES OVER TO THE TURNBUCKLE WHILST HOLDING HER RIBS! SHE CLUBS THE LEG OF MADISON! SHE CLUBS I AGAIN! SHE SWINGS SO HARD THAT MADISON GETS DROPPED INTO A SEATED POSITION!
Eve: Now she takes the ropes… AUBURN SPRINGBOARDS UP AND LEAPS INTO THE ‘GONE GIRL!’ HURRICANRANA OFF OF THE TOP ROPE! MADISON GETS LAUNCHED HALFWAY ACROSS THE RING! WHAT AN IMPACT! AND NOW SHE HAS TO CAPITALIZE!
Gavin Kirkland: Madison is out of it, while Auburn crawls over and makes the cover! Could we be seeing the upset so soon?!? Oh my god!
Referee: OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEE!!!
Referee: TTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOO!!!
Referee: T—
DeadPrez: MADISON KICKS OUT! HER CAREER’S STILL IN TACT! Auburn rolls over, gasping for air! It’s hard to breathe when your ribs are in such pain, but Madison still doesn’t know where she was at after that perfectly placed hurricanrana! Auburn now works her way up…
Eve: We’re starting to see life from Madison, SPINNING ROUNDHOUSE KICK FROM AUBURN TURNS MADISON! AUBURN TAKES THE WAIST FOR A GERMAN SUPLEX!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT MADISON SPINS AROUND, STANDING SWITCH! SHE HOISTS HER UP IN THE AIR FOR A GERMAN SUPLEX OF HER OWN! BUT AUBURN WRAPS HER LEGS AROUND HER WAIST IN WHEELBARROW POSITION AND DRAGS HER DOWN INTO A VICTORY ROLL!
Referee: OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEE!!!
Referee: TTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOO!!!
Referee: TH—
DeadPrez: SHE FLIPS IT INTO A COVER OF HER OWN! MADISON’S KNEES PRESS AUBURN’S SHOULDER TO THE CANVAS!
Referee: OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEE!!!
Referee: TTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOO!!!
Referee: TH—
Eve: MADISON GETS SHOVED OFF BY AUBURN! SHE QUICKLY RISES AND AUBURN IS UP AS WELL! MADISON CHARGES IN FOR A CLOTHESLINE– AUBURN CATCHES THE ARM AND DRAGS HER DOWN INTO A CROSSFACE!
Gavin Kirkland: BEAUTIFULLY EXECUTED! THE ARM IS TRAPPED AND SHE’S PULLING BACK ON HER NECK! MADISON IS YELLING OUT IN PAIN AS AUBURN KEEPS THE HOLD IN TIGHT!
DeadPrez: SHE MAY BE FORCED TO TAP OUT! THE REFEREE IS ASKING MADISON, AND SHE KEEPS SHAKING HER HEAD! MADISON TRIES TO CRAWL, BUT WE HEAR THE SCREAMS AND GRUNTS OF PAIN! SHE’S ALMOST THERE–
Eve: AUBURN KICKS THE BOTTOM ROPE AND ROLLS THEM BACKWARDS– WAIT! MADISON ROLLS THROUGH WITH HER AND STARTS TO DEADLIFT HER UP!
Gavin Kirkland: SHE USES ALL OF HER POWER TO THROW HER INTO THE TURNBUCKLES! AUBURN GETS SMASHED HEAD FIRST AS SHE LIES SEATED AGAINST THE CORNER! MADISON HITS THE ROPES! HESITATION DROPKICK, SLAMMING HER HEAD INTO THE MIDDLE TURNBUCKLE!
DeadPrez: AUBURN’S HEAD JUST BOUNCED OFF THE MIDDLE ROPE! SHE’S OUT! But Madison is clutching that arm! Both women are expanding as much energy as physically possible and you can see them both feeling the wear and tear! She’s not moving at all, and Madison looks around, gasping for air.
Eve: Madison slowly rises and approaches Auburn. She pulls her out of the corner, and I think she has the end of this match already on her mind… Auburn is hardly moving after that dropkick and this is a prime opportunity to take advantage.
DeadPrez: HERE WE GO! Madison leans her head down and bounces off the ropes for the ‘M.O.D–’ AUBURN BARELY MOVES OUT OF THE WAY! SHE PULLS HER DOWN WITH A SCHOOLBOY ROLLUP!
Gavin Kirkland: MADISON ROLLS OUT OF IT BEFORE A COUNT IS MADE– BUT AUBURN ROLLS INTO A HIGH KICK TO THE HEAD! MADISON HOLDS HER HEAD IN PAIN AND AUBURN RISES! SHE DELIVERS FOREARM STRIKES TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD!
Eve: AND FOLLOWS IT UP WITH KICKS TO THE HEAD! MADISON IS COVERING UP BUT SHE’S GETTING BATTERED! THOSE ARE NASTY KICKS AND THEY’RE GETTING THROUGH TO HER HEAD!
DeadPrez: Now she forcefully pulls her up! European uppercut! Elbow! Madison is lost for words as she leans against the turnbuckles and Auburn sweeps her legs out! She turns and points to the corner! AUBURN HITS OFF ACROSS THE RING!
Eve: MADISON HAS RISEN AND SHE FLIES INTO A CORNER YAKUZA KICK! SHE GAVE HER TOO MUCH TIME TO RECOVER! AUBURN STAGGERS OUT OF THE CORNER, HOLDING HER JAW IN PAIN AS SHE’S HUNCHED OVER–
Gavin Kirkland: ‘M.O.D!’ IT CONNECTS! SHE DRIVES THE BACK OF AUBURN’S HEAD STRAIGHT INTO THE CANVAS! MADISON ROLLS HER OVER! COULD THIS ALREADY BE IT!
Referee: OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEE!!
Referee: TTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOO!!!
Referee: THHHRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR—
DeadPrez: HOW THE HELL?! AUBURN KICKS OUT! THIS MATCH IS STILL GOING, AND MADISON LOOKS DISTRAUGHT! WHAT IS THIS ROOKIE MADE OUT OF?!
Eve: She got this far for a reason! And now Madison is seeing it firsthand! She shakes her head, and starts to slowly pull her up… Madison mushes her face and shoves her down!
Madison Kaline: (off-mic) JUST LET IT GO! YOU STAND ZERO CHANCE AT DEFEATING ME! I GAVE YOU A PAIN FOR PRIDE MOMENT! WHY DO YOU WANT MORE?!
Gavin Kirkland: Auburn shakes her head… She simply chuckles! I don’t think Madison can believe what she’s seeing either!
Auburn Ware: (off-mic) …Bring it.
DeadPrez: MADISON HITS THE ROPES FOR ANOTHER ‘M.O.D–’ AUBURN LEAPS UP IN MID AIR AND CATCHES HER WITH A KNEEBAR! MADISON IS BACK DOWN AND AUBRUN IS WRENCHING ON THAT KNEE WITH ALL OF HER MIGHT!
Eve: IT’S IN TIGHT! MADISON IS SCREAMING OUT AS AUBURN YANKS BACK ON HER KNEE! SHE’S USING ALL HER STRENGTH! MADISON REACHES FOR THE ROPES BUT SHE’S STRUGGLING!
Gavin Kirkland: SHE’S GETTING CLOSER! BUT THE PAIN IS KILLING HER! AUBURN IS CONTINUING TO WRENCH ON THAT! MADISON REACHES FOR THE ROPES BUT AUBURN STARTS KICKING HER HEAD WITH THE FREE LEG!
Eve: THE BRUTALITY OF AUBURN RIGHT NOW– LOOK AT THIS! MADISON GRABS THE ROPE, BUT AUBURN ROLLS THEM! AND THEY FALL TO THE OUTSIDE!
DeadPrez: Madison breathes a sigh of relief– AUBURN LOCKS IT RIGHT BACK IN! KNEEBAR ON THE OUTSIDE! THIS CAN’T EVEN END THE MATCH BUT NOW MADISON HAS NO ROPES TO SAVE HER!
Gavin Kirkland: The referee is trying to get them back in, but Auburn is intent on holding this in! Madison bangs her fist on the mat, rolling over! She tries her best to pry herself free of this hold and starts kicking at Auburn! Finally, she gets her off!
DeadPrez: Madison limps up, holding her knee and shin in excruciating pain. Auburn works her way up, using the steps to get up to the apron and in the ring… Madison has no idea what’s waiting for her as she turns around-
Gavin Kirkland: AUBURN SPRINGBOARDS TO THE TOP ROPE FROM INSIDE THE RING AND FLIES INTO THE ‘THE SUMMER I TURNED PRETTY!’ METEORA CRASHES MADISON STRAIGHT TO THAT HARSH FLOOR! MY GOD!
Eve: BUT AUBURN ROLLS OVER, CLUTCHING AT HER KNEE! HIGH RISK, HIGH REWARD! BUT AUBURN MAY HAVE HURT HERSELF A BIT THERE, MADISON IS OUT OF IT THOUGH!
DeadPrez: Auburn takes the barricade to force herself up! She drags up Madison and throws her into the ring near the drop zone! Auburn climbs up the steps and ascends to the top rope!
Eve: SHE FLIES OFF THE TOP WITH THE ‘TOMORROW AND TOMORROW AND TOMORROW!’ THERE MAY NOT BE A TOMORROW AS A CONTRACTED WRESTLER FOR MADISON KALINE! BEAUTIFUL ELBOW DROP! AND NOW AUBURN MAKES THE COVER!
Referee: OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEE!!
Referee: TTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOO!!!
Referee: THHHRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRE—
Gavin Kirkland: MADISON KICKS OUT! INCREDIBLY CLOSE CALL, BUT THIS ONE IS STILL GOING! Auburn falls back and now *she* is the one that can’t believe it! Madison is wheezing out in pain!
DeadPrez: It’s up to Auburn to prove that she can thrive under this pressure! She shakes out her knee, calling Madison up! Madison slowly rises and AUBURN HITS OFF TO HANDSPRING THE ROPES– MADISON WITH A BASEBALL SLIDE TO THE JAW WHILE SHE’S UPSIDE DOWN!
Eve: NASTY CONNECTION! AUBURN FALLS OVER, HOLDING HER JAW! MADISON SHAKES OUT HER LEG AND SHIN, SLOWLY TAKING THE ROPES TO RISE!
DeadPrez: Auburn is still clutching her jaw in pain while Madison leans back in the corner, calling her up. Madison slaps her knee! Auburn is up and she turns– SPEAR FROM MADISON! AUBURN IS OUT OF IT AND MADISON HOOKS THE LEGS!
Referee: OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEE!!
Referee: TTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOO!!!
Referee: THHHRRRRRRRRRRRRR-
Gavin Kirkland: NOT ENOUGH! AUBURN KICKS OUT! MAYBE IF MADISON HAD FULL POWER IN HER LEGS SHE COULD’VE HAD MORE VELOCITY IN THE SPEAR! SHE’S GOTTA ADJUST!
DeadPrez: But Madison is going to what she knows! She limps to the ropes, slowly stepping out of he ring to climb the top rope… But she is taking a long time to get up there!
Eve: Auburn has recovered and she charges into an enzuigiri! Madison is still up on the top rope, albeit stunned. Auburn starts to climb up with her and begins forearming her! Auburn stands on the middle rope, taking the head as she tries to climb the top–
Gavin Kirkland: HEADBUTT FROM MADISON! SHE HEADBUTTS HER AGAIN! NOW SHE TAKES THE HAIR AND SLAMS IT INTO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! AUBURN IS STUNNED!
DeadPrez: Madison points down and she grins! SHE JUMPS OFF THE TOP, LEAPING INTO A SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMB! OH MY GOD!!! THE BACK OF AUBURN’S HEAD GETS SMASHED INTO THE CANVAS!
Eve: SHE’S NOT FINISHED! AUBURN IS LAID OUT ON HER BACK AND MADISON SLOWLY RISES, GINGERLY ASCENDING TO THE TOP ROPE! SHE’S BEEN HERE MANY TIMES BEFORE, EXPERIENCED PAIN MANY TIMES! SHE’S ABLE TO WITHSTAND IT!
Gavin Kirkland: AND WITHSTAND IT SHE DOES, AS MADISON SOARS THROUGH THE SKIES WITH THE ‘MADDIE BOMB!!!’ MOONSAULT CONNECTS! AUBURN WARE HOLDS HER PREVOUSLY WORKED RIBS IN PAIN! SHE GOES TO THE COVER!
Referee: OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEE!!
Referee: TTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOO!!!

DeadPrez: AUBURN KICKS OUT AT THE VERY LAST SECOND! DO YOU KNOW HOW CLOSE OF A CALL THAT WAS?! MADISON FALLS BACK, GASPING FOR AIR! AND THE CROWD IS ABSOLUTELY ON THEIR FEET AFTER THAT ONE!
Crowd: # THIS IS AWESOME! :clap: :clap: THIS IS AWESOME! :clap: :clap: THIS IS AWESOME! :clap: :clap:
Eve: As they should be, this is the very definition of an instant classic on an international scale here at Pain For Pride! Madison is questioning the referee but the referee insists that it was only a two count! Auburn holds her ribs in pain and now Madison is dragging her up.
Gavin Kirkland: MADISON IS GOING TO TOWN ON AUBURN! SHE BEATS HER BACK AND RIBS WITH REPEATED PUNCHES AND KICKS! AUBURN FALLS INTO A BALL, COVERING UP! MADISON KEEPS STOMPING HER BACK! OVER AND OVER! SHE DRAGS HER UP AND LEANS HER HEAD DOWN! SHE MUSHES HER FACE AND SHOVES HER TO THE MATCH!
Madison Kaline: (off-mic) GIVE UP! YOU’RE NOT ENDING MY CAREER, BITCH!
DeadPrez: But given by Auburn’s reaction, I THINK THAT’S LIT A FIRE FROM UNDER HER! MADISON HITS OFF THE ROPES BUT SHE DOESN’T KNOW AUBURN IS RISING BEHIND HER! DOUBLE LEG TAKEDOWN FROM AUBURN! AND SHE’S GOING OFF ON MADISON WITH STRIKES! MADISON COVERS UP TO THE BEST OF HER ABILITY AND ROLLS AWAY!
Eve: AUBURN IS UP AND FOLLOWS! DROPKICK INTO THE BOTTOM ROPE! MADISON HOLDS HER SIDES AS SHE HELPLESSLY CRAWLS TO THE TURNBUCKLES! AUBURN FOLLOWS UP AND BEGINS STOMPING HER OUT! MADISON KALINE IS GETTING DISMANTLED!
Gavin Kirkland: She drags her up and turns her! Auburn lifts Madison up the turnbuckle, her back facing her… She pulls her hair, and Madison shrieks out in pain!
Auburn Ware: (off-mic) IS THIS WHAT YOU WANTED, HUH?! HERE GOES NOTHING, THEN!
Eve: AUBURN SLAMS MADISON’S HEAD DOWN AND THE BACK OF HER HEAD HITS THE BOTTOM TURNBUCKLE AS SHE’S TRAPPED IN TREE OF WOE POSITION! AUBURN TURNS AND HITS OFF THE CORNER! ‘CLOCKWORK ANGEL!’ DROPKICK TO THE JAW! MADISON GETS TOSSED OFF THE TURNBUCKLES!
Gavin Kirkland: She’s holding her mouth in pain! Auburn drags her to the center and quickly hooks the legs! CAREER ON THE LINE!
Referee: OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEE!!
Referee: TTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOO!!!
Referee: THHHRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEE–
DeadPrez: MADISON FINDS A WAY TO KICK OUT! You’ve gotta commend her for staying in this one! But Auburn is rocking now!
Eve: She doesn’t let off and drags her up. She quickly hooks Madison onto her shoulders and looks around. BUT MADISON ELBOWS HER! SHE ELBOWS HER AGAIN! Madison slips off and shoves Auburn to the ropes!
Gavin Kirkland: MADISON SWINGS A LARIAT— BUT AUBURN CATCHES THE ARM AND SPINS HER AROUND! SHE LIFTS HER RIGHT BACK INTO THAT FIREMAN’S CARRY POSITION! ELBOWS FROM MADISON, THOUGH! SHE’S PEPPERING AUBURN WITH SOME NASTY ONES!
DeadPrez: Now Auburn is starting to falter! She’s struggling to hold Madison up now that she’s experiencing this pain. BUT WAIT! AUBURN FIGHTS THROUGH IT! SHE NEARLY BUCKLES TO THE MAT BUT DEADLIFTS MADISON UP! HER EYES WIDEN IN SHOCK!
Gavin Kirkland: NOPE! MADISON STARTS TO WIGGLE! SHE ROLLS, BRINGING AUBURN DOWN INTO A SUNSET FLIP! WHAT A REVERSAL!

Referee: TTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOO!!!
Referee: THHHRRRRRRRRRRRRR-
Eve: AUBURN KICKS OUT AND BOTH WOMEN RISE! OH! AUBURN ONCE AGAIN HOISTS MADISON UP INTO THAT FIREMAN’S CARRY! ‘MALIBU RISING!’ SHE ROLLS WITH MADISON AND SMASHES HER INTO THE CANVAS!
DeadPrez: LOOKING FOR THAT ONE FOR AWHILE AND FINALLY GOT IT! AUBURN IS HOLDING HER RIBS, BUT SO IS MADISON! SHE CRAWLS OVER AND MAKES THE COVER!
Referee: OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEE!!
Referee: TTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOO!!!
Referee: THHHRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEE–
Gavin Kirkland: IT’S JUST NOT ENOUGH! MADISON KICKS OUT ONCE AGAIN! AND NOW AUBURN IS STARTING TO GET FRUSTRATED! HOW DO YOU PUT THIS WOMAN DOWN?!
DeadPrez: YOU CAN SAY THAT ABOUT BOTH OF THEM! This is what Pain For Pride is all about! Auburn slowly rises to her feet, shaking out the pain. She exits the ring and looks to head to the top rope… Madison is still showing no signs of life
Eve: AUBURN WANTS HER UP, THOUGH! That could be a mistake but she continues to yell and yell as she wills Madison up to her feet. Madison staggers, completely dazed as Auburn launches herself off the top into a diving crossbody! MADISON MOVES OUT OF THE WAY AT THE LAST SECOND! AUBURN CRASHES INTO THE MAT AND SHE ONCE AGAIN GRABS HER RIBS! SHE CRIES OUT IN PAIN!
Gavin Kirkland: Opportunity is open for Madison Kaline to take advantage! She rushes over and drags Auburn up! She takes the hair and trunks and throws her TORSO FIRST INTO THE TURNBUCKLES! Auburn holds her ribs, gasping for air. Madison scoops her up into a powerslam lift! SHE RUNS INTO A POWERSLAM INTO THE TURNBUCKLES AND SPINS INTO ONE IN THE CENTER, OKLAHOMA STAMPEDE!
DeadPrez: Digging deep for ANY move possible! Madison doesn’t even hit that but that’s how much this one means! Auburn is laid out and Madison crawls over her, stepping out of the ring and taking the ropes. She nods her head and slingshots over into a TOPE ATOMIC! LANDS RIGHT ON THE RIBS! MADISON GASPS FOR AIR!
Eve: But she’s not finished! Madison quickly lifts Auburn up and scoops her into a fireman’s carry. She nods her head and marches to the center with a DOUBLE KNEE GUTBUSTER! I MAY HAVE HEARD A POP THERE! AUBURN FALLS TO THE SIDE, SCREAMING IN AGONY! MADISON MAKES THE COVER, THOUGH!
Referee: OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEE!!
Referee: TTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOO!!!
Referee: THHHRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEE–
DeadPrez: YET! SHE STILL KICKS OUT! THAT’S THE ABSOLUTE HEART OF A CHAMPION RIGHT THERE! MADISON KALINE IS RUNNING OUT OF OPTIONS BUT SHE HAS NO CHOICE BUT TO KEEP GOING IF SHE WANTS TO KEEP HER CAREER!
Gavin Kirkland: You’ve gotta be wondering if she regrets the decision now… Auburn coughs out, struggling to breathe. Madison chuckles and punt kicks her right in the ribs! Auburn crawls over into a ball, trying to protect her stomach! Madison takes the ropes AND FULL FORCE STARTS STOMPING!
Eve: OH MY GOD! SHE’S JUST GOING FOR IT! ALL THOSE STOMPS AND NOW THE REFEREE HAS TO INTERVENE BECAUSE THEY’RE AGAINST THE ROPES!
Referee: (off-mic) ONE!
DeadPrez: Auburn is squealing out in pain, and Madison continues to stomp and stomp!
Referee: (off-mic) TWO!
Gavin Kirkland: That’s how badly Madison wants this! It’s only a matter of time before Auburn crumbles under the pressure if she keeps at this!
Referee: (off-mic) THREE!
Eve: We’ve already seen what Auburn is capable of in this atmosphere! Don’t count her out one bit!
Referee: (off-mic) FOUR! COME ON! DON’T MAKE ME DISQUALIFY YOU!
DeadPrez: Finally, Madison stops stomping Auburn out! She shoots a nasty glare at the referee, then returns her attention back to Auburn who isn’t even moving at this rate. Madison is dealing all of this pain to Auburn, but she just needs to put her down for the pin.
Eve: It seems a lot more imminent than earlier. But Auburn is still in this one. Madison drags her out of the corner and leans her into the ropes, irish whipping her off! She’s slow to come back as she nurses the pain, AND MADISON SCOOPS HER UP!
Gavin Kirkland: She tries fighting it in mid air! Auburn throws weak punches at the back but it’s no need as MADISON DROPS HER WITH A STUN GUN ON THE TOP ROPE! GOING RIGHT FOR THE RIBS AND NOT THE NECK! AUBURN BOUNCES OFF, RAGDOLLING TO THE FLOOR AS SHE SCREAMS ABOUT HER HURT RIBS!
Eve: Madison smirks, dragging Auburn near the turnbuckles. She turns and takes the bottom and middle rope to help climb her to the top rope. She crouches on the top rope and looks back. She then focuses, standing tall as she leaps OFF INTO THE ‘MADDIE BOM—‘
DeadPrez: AUBURN GETS THE KNEES UP! AND MADISON OVERSHOOTS IT JUST A TADBIT SO HER FACE CRASHES INTO AUBURN’S KNEES! SHE FALLS BACK, HOLDING HER MOUTH AS SHE SPITS OUT BLOOD!
Eve: I wouldn’t be surprised if she just cracked a tooth or two right there! Madison rises, holding her mouth in pain as blood leaks out… Auburn uses the ropes to rise and MADISON CHARGES INTO A SPEAR!
Gavin Kirkland: AUBURN MOVES AT THE LAST SECOND AND SENDS MADISON SHOULDER FIRST INTO THE RING POST! SHE STAGGERS OUT, SHAKING OUT THAT HURT ARM! NOW BEHIND HER—
DeadPrez: MADISON STAGGERS BACK INTO AUBURN! AUBURN CAPTURES THAT ARM AND HER HEAD! SHE WANTS ‘THE LOVELY BONES’, BUT MADISON DIPS AND DRAGS AUBURN DOWN WITH AN ARMDRAG INTO THE MIDDLE TURNBUCKLE! THE SIDE OF HER HEAD CRASHES INTO IT! SHE STAGGERS, HOLDING HER HEAD!
Eve: WHILE SHE’S IN PAIN, MADISON TAKES THE WAIST! WITH NO HESITATION SHE HOISTS HER UP, AND TOSSES HER WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX INTO THE TURNBUCKLES! AUBURN’S HEAD BOUNCES OFF THE BUCKLE AS SHE CRUMBLES TO THE MAT! AUBURN ROLLS OUT, OUT OF IT!
Gavin Kirkland: Desperation has kicked in! Madison rolls out and starts beating down on Auburn! She pulls her up and leans her body against the steel steps… She backs up, trying for a boot but Auburn moves out of the way! Madison stops herself in time but Auburn rises and kicks her leg out!
Eve: She stumbles on her other leg, falling to a seated position against the barricade. Before she can register what comes next, Auburn leaps into a dropkick smashing her head and shoulder against the barricade! Madison isn’t moving at all and Auburn nods, slowly pulling herself up.
DeadPrez: Auburn takes Madison out of the corner and holds her in a front facelock. She starts to drag her back towards the ring, BUT MADISON FREES HERSELF AND SHOVES AUBURN BACK FIRST INTO THE RING POST! SHE HOLDS AT HER BACK-
Gavin Kirkland: NOT DONE YET! MADISON SCOOPS AUBURN UP AND DROPS HER ONTO THE TOP OF THE BARRICADE! ALL OF HER WEIGHT CRASHES AGAINST IT AS THE EDGE OF THE BARRIER DRIVES INTO HER RIBCAGE! AUBURN FALLS TO THE FLOOR!
DeadPrez. And her eyes widened from the pain she’s laying in! Madison wants her to suffer, though! She drags her up in a front facelock and brings her backwards. She takes the trunks and lifts her all the way up… VERTICAL SUPLEX ONTO THE STEEL STEPS! OH. MY. GAWD!!!
Eve: THAT CLANGING NOISE JUST ECHOED THROUGHOUT THE STADIUM! AUBURN GOES DOWN AND HER SCREAMS ARE GUTTURAL! MADISON HOLDS THE BACK OF HER HEAD, TRYING HER HARDEST TO RECUPERATE!
Gavin Kirkland: The referee has to break from counting to step out of the ring and check on Auburn! She’s in clear pain and she’s hardly moving! Madison limps up, crawling into the ring. She yells, demanding the referee back in!
DeadPrez: Madison Kaline seems awfully intent on retaining her career by countout! Auburn is hardly showing any signs of life and the referee resumes his count where he left off at five!
Referee: SIIIIIIXXXXXXX!
Referee: SSSSSEEEEVVVEEEENNNNNNNNN!!!
Gavin Kirkland; If you hit a suplex on the steel steps, does it matter how you win from there?! Wait— Auburn is starting to crawl! I don’t think she’ll make it in time, though!
Referee: EEEEEIIIIIIIIIIIIGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHTTTTTTT!!!
Eve: You must not understand the depths this young woman is going to win! She claws at the apron skirt, nearly bringing it down as she tries her absolute hardest to get herself up to her feet!
Referee: NNNNNNNNNNNNIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!
DeadPrez: SHE’S STILL DOWN, THOUGH! THE PAIN JUST PROVES TO BE TOO UNBEARABLE FOR AUBURN AS SHE LIES AGAINST THE APRON!
Referee: TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!
( … )
( … )
( … )
Eve: AUBURN WARE SLIDES IN AT THE VERY LAST SECOND! THE REFEREE WAS EXTREMELY CLOSE TO CALLING THIS ONE OFF BUT SHE MADE IT IN! AUBURN HOLDS HER RIBS AND MADISON SEEMS EXTREMELY AGITATED THIS ONE IS STILL GOING!
Gavin Kirkland: I WOULD BE TOO! THIS IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS! MADISON QUICKLY DRAGS AUBURN UP, WASTING NO TIME!! SHE TAKES THE HEAD AND LIFTS HER TO HER FEET! SHE HITS OFF THE ROPES FOR THE ‘AFTERLIFE’— AUBURN CATCHES THE ARM AND BRINGS HER DOWN WITH A CRUCIFIX ROLLUP!
Referee: OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEE!!
Referee: TTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOO!!!
Referee: THHHRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEE–
( … )
( … )
Eve: MADISON KICKS OUT! THAT WAS A CLOSE CALL! AUBURN ROLLS BACKWARDS, HOLDING HER RIBS! SHE TAKES THE MIDDLE ROPE TO GET BACK UP… SHE SLOWLY TURNS BACK TO MADISON, THINKING SHE’S STILL DOWN-
DeadPrez: ‘THE AFTERLIFE’ CONNECTS! ONE OF THE STRONGEST CLOTHESLINES I’VE EVER SEEN! MADISON PUT HER ENTIRE MIGHT INTO THAT AND AUBURN IS OUT COLD! SHE TAKES A DEEP BREATH, THEN CRAWLS OVER TO MAKE THE COVER!
Referee: OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEE!!
Referee: TTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOO!!!
Referee: THHHRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
( … )
( … )
( … )
Gavin Kirkland: ROPE. BREAK!!! AUBURN GETS HER FOOT ON THE BOTTOM ROPE AT THE LAST SECOND! MADISON IS ABSOLUTELY GOBSMACKED THAT IT WASN’T OVER THERE! SHE PUT SO MUCH ENERGY THAT SHE WAS TOO TIRED TO DRAG HER AWAY!
Eve: And tonight she pays for it! What more will Madison be able to win this matchup?! Genuinely no one has an idea! Auburn is still down and she drags her up. There’s a primal look in her eyes… I think she wants it again?!
DeadPrez: Auburn is trying to rise– but she falls right back over! The girl is in too much pain! Madison’s going to have to finish this off on her own terms!
Gavin Kirkland: But she wants Auburn to rise to her feet so she can finish her off when she least expects it! Madison is pulling on the ropes! She’s practically salivating at the thought, she just wants to hit off the ropes!
Eve: Madison can’t do that if Auburn is down! You can see the frustration on her face as she moves off the ropes and grabs Auburn’s hair to pull her up–
DeadPrez: THE VETERAN GETS OUTSMARTED! AUBURN PULLS MADISON DOWN WITH AN INSIDE CRADLE! SHE PRESSES THE SHOULDERS FIRMLY TO THE MAT! MADISON IS KICKING AND FLAILING, TRYING TO GET FREE!
Referee: OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEE!!
Referee: TTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOO!!!
Referee: THHHRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
( … )
( … )
( … )
Gavin Kirkland: MADISON KICKS OUT AT THE VERY LAST SECOND! THE ARENA NEARLY ERUPTED! THEY THOUGHT THAT THE MATCH WAS GOING TO END THERE, BUT IT DIDN’T!
DeadPrez: THEY RISE! AUBURN CRACKS MADISON WITH A FOREARM! MADISON BITES BACK WITH A PUNCH! FOREARM FROM AUBURN! ANOTHER PUNCH FROM MADISON! AUBURN SWINGS ANOTHER FOREARM!
Eve: MADISON WEAVES IT AND KICKS HER IN THE GUT! SHE TAKES THE HEAD AND PLACES HER ARM OVER HER HEAD FOR A SUPLEX– AUBURN FLOATS BEHIND HER! SHE SHOVES HER TO THE ROPES!
Gavin Kirkland: SPINNING SOLE KICK FROM AUBURN! ENZUIGIRI FROM AUBURN! MADISON IS SOMEHOW STILL UP! SHE BOUNCES OFF THE ROPES! BOOT TO THE JAW! AUBURN TURNS OFF THE IMPACT AND MADISON TAKES THE WAIST! SHE TOSSES HER WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX!
DeadPrez: OH MY GAWD!!! AUBURN ABSORBS THE IMPACT AND RISES UP TO HER FEET, YELLING! MADISON HEARS THE ROAR OF AUBURN AND SHE SQUINTS HER EYES IN CONFUSION AND *NOW* SHE TURNS BACK!
Eve: IT’S PISSED HER OFF! MADISON CAN’T BELIEVE THE GALL OF AUBURN FOR EATING THAT GERMAN SUPLEX! AND NOW SHE CHARGES IN– AUBURN TRAPS HER LEFT ARM, DUCKS DOWN TO GRAB THE RIGHT ARM IN BETWEEN HER LEGS AND LIFTS HER UP FOR THE ‘FAIRY TALE!!!’ DROPS HER RIGHT ON THE BACK OF HER HEAD!
Gavin Kirkland: AND AUBURN KEEPS THE TIGHT GRIP ONTO MADISON’S HAND! HER LEG LIES ON HER CHEST AS SHE FOLDS HER UP FOR THE COVER! REFEREE SLIDES TO THE COUNT AND THE CROWD COUNTS ALONG!

Crowd: TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: THAT’S IT! THE CAREER OF MADISON KALINE IS OFFICIALLY OVER! AUBURN WARE GETS IT DONE! I CAN’T BELIEVE IT!
DeadPrez: WHY AIN’T THE BELL RING, THEN!?
Eve: MADISON KALINE SLAMMED HER UNHOOKED LEG INTO THE SIDE OF THE REFEREE’S HEAD! THE REFEREE FELL OVER, THAT WASN’T HIS HAND SLAPPING THE MAT! AUBURN RELEASES, THINKING IT’S OVER TOO!
Gavin Kirkland: She sees the referee down and shifts to her side while sitting, shaking him and trying to bring him back… The referee is holding his head in pain and clearly trying to get back up to keep officiating this match. Auburn turns back and-
DeadPrez: YOU DON’T JUST SIT THERE! MADISON SHIFTS HER BODY WHILE HER LEGS ARE STILL IN THE AIR AND SHE GRABS THE ARM AND BACK OF THE HEAD, PULLING HER DOWN INTO THE ‘DEATH’S GRASP!’ THE GOGOPLATA IS IN TIGHT!
Eve: AUBURN IS SCRATCHING AND CRAWLING! SHE’S SCRAMBLING TO GET FREE OF THIS! BUT MADISON PULLS ON THE BACK OF HER HEAD, DRIVING HER THROAT INTO HER SHIN! SHE’S CHOKING HER OUT!
Gavin Kirkland: I THINK SHE’S CONSIDERING TAPPING– BUT THE REFEREE IS STILL RECOVERING! WILL IT MATTER?!
DeadPrez: A sheer act of desperation may have screwed Madison over! She’s pulling on her head! I THINK AUBURN’S FADING! HER BODY IS STARTING TO GO LIMP! SHE’S NOT FLAILING AS MUCH AS SHE WAS AT FIRST!
Gavin Kirkland: REFEREE! GET IN THERE AND CHECK YOU NIMROD!
Eve: HE GOT KICKED IN THE HEAD?! WHAT DO YOU MEAN GET IN THERE AND CHECK???
DeadPrez: Finally! He’s conscious as Madison is screaming at him to follow up and do his job! He takes Auburn’s arm and RAISES IT UP, AND LETS IT GO!
( … )
Eve: IT DROPS TO THE CANVAS! MADISON IS YELLING OUT IN GLEE AS SHE KEEPS PULLING ON THE HOLD!
DeadPrez: THE REFEREE RAISES HER ARM UP ONCE AGAIN, THEN LETS GO!
( … )
Gavin Kirkland: TWO TIMES IN A ROW! I HATE TO SAY THIS BUT AUBURN’S CHANCES OF WINNING ARE AS GOOD AS DEAD!
DeadPrez: ONE LAST TIME… THE REFEREE RAISES AUBURN’S ARM UP… AND HE LETS GO.
( … )
Eve: AUBURN’S ARM DOESN’T HIT THE MAT! IT STAYS BACK UP! SHE SHAKES HER FIST, REFUSING TO LET GO! MADISON’S EYES ARE WIDE! SHE CAN’T BELIEVE IT! SHE’S TRYING TO HOLD ONTO THE SUBMISSION WITH ALL OF HER MIGHT BUT HER ARMS ARE STARTING TO GET TIRED!
Gavin Kirkland: OH! OH NO! AUBURN KNEELS! AND NOW SHE LETS OUT A WAR CRY, USING **ALL** OF HER STRENGTH TO SLOWLY LIFT MADISON UP IN THE AIR ALONE WITH HER OWN BODY!
DeadPrez: AUBURN STAGGERS, ON THE VERGE OF SLAMMING MADISON DOWN WITH A POWERBOMB IN THE CENTER OF THE RING! MADISON IS SHAKING HER HEAD, BUT THERE’S NOTHING SHE CAN DO ABOUT IT!
Eve: WAIT! AUBURN HOLDS ONTO MADISON AND TRANSITIONS FROM POWERBOMB POSITION, TOSSING HER UP AND CATCHING HER IN MID-AIR IN FIREMAN’S CARRY!
Gavin Kirkland: DON’T TELL ME…
Eve: **’VERITY!’** IT CONNECTS! HOMAGE TO RONN BANKS WITH HIS ‘GO TO RETIREMENT!’ MADISON IS KNOCKED OUT COLD! AUBURN HOLDS HER RIBS AS SHE FALLS TO HER FOURS, GASPING FOR AIR!
DeadPrez: WHAT A POETIC WAY TO GO OUT! SHE HITS THE ‘GO TO RETIREMENT’ ON MADISON! AUBURN CRAWLS AND CRAWLS… AND SHE STRAPS HER ARM ONTO HER CHEST!
Referee: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

( … )
( DING! DING! DING! )
Eve: It–IT’S OVER! AUBURN WARE HAS JUST ENDED THE CAREER OF MADISON KALINE AND THE ROOF HAS BLOWN OFF OF THIS PLACE!
DeadPrez: MY GAWD! WHAT JUST HAPPENED?!
( The moment sinks in for a moment amongst the crowd, but once ‘Bad Blood’ begins playing throughout the speakers is when Auburn realizes what she’s done, and the support for her is there all the way. )
Gina Romano: HHHHHHEEEEEEEEERRRRREEEEEEEEE IIIIISSSSSSSSSSSS YOOOOUR WIIINNNNEEEERRRRRRR!! AUUUUUUBBBURRRRNNNNNNNN WAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
Gavin Kirkland: What a performance! In her very first Pain For Pride match, Auburn Ware has taken it upon herself to personally end Madison Kaline with the ‘Verity’, a spin off of Ronn Banks’ ‘Go To Retirement!’ I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything quite like it!
Eve: We may not see that be replicated for a long time! Auburn worked her ass off amongst scrutiny by Madison and now she has to eat her own words!
DeadPrez: That’s something I don’t even know if she is capable of doing!
( While Madison lay on the mat in utter and complete shock, the referee raises Auburn up. She covers her face, overcome with emotion as she processes both the victory and the pop from the crowd. Auburn then rolls out and tags as many fans as she possibly can as they happily embrace her. Auburn heads up the ramp, letting the moment continue until she can no longer reach anyone. She waves and blows them all a kiss, giving them a thank you for all they’ve done for her tonight. )
Eve: … Wow.
( … )
( And now, the moment sets in for one woman, and Auburn’s theme fades out. )
Gina Romano: ….MEANING. MADISON KALINE ***MUST RETIRE***.
( Madison rolls to her knees, looking around. She stares around at the crowd, not wanting her legacy to end off like this. She shakes her head at the reception from them, and they won’t let off at all! )
Madison Kaline: (off-mic) NO… NO!!! SOMETHING WAS OFF– I–I– HAD MY SHOULDER UP I PROMISE! BRING HER BACK OUT HER! LET ME TRY–
Crowd: NA NA NA NA! NA NA NA NA! HEY HEY HEY! GOOOODDDBYYYEEEEEEE!
Madison Kaline: (off-mic) STOP IT! SHUT UP! SHUT THE HELL UP!
Crowd: NA NA NA NA! NA NA NA NA! HEY HEY HEY! GOOOODDDBYYYEEEEEEE!
Madison Kaline: (off-mic) ENOUGH YOU FOOLS! I’M A HALL OF FAMER! D-D-D-D-DON’T TREAT ME LIKE THIS!
Crowd: NA NA NA NA! NA NA NA NA! HEY HEY HEY! GOOOODDDBYYYEEEEEEE!
Madison Kaline: (off-mic) SHUT UP! SHUT UP!!! SHUT- SHUT– SHU– SH–….
( Madison drops to her knees, covering her face. She leans her head on the mat, struggling to comprehend what just happened. And then… )
Madison Kaline: (off-mic) ***AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!***
Gavin Kirkland: GOODNESS! THAT MIGHT HAVE PASSED THE CROWD TONIGHT ON THE DECIBEL SCALE! MY EARS– AND I’M SITTING ALL THE WAY OVER HERE!
Eve: Now referees and more officials are coming down to try and escort Madison out of the ring! The woman can’t even move on her own… This is tough to watch.
DeadPrez: What a career it’s been for Madison Kaline. You can’t take anything away from her, but there’s many ways to go out, and well, this is one of ‘em, dawg.
Gavin kirkland: At least she only lives 90 minutes west from here, she can go home.
( Madison is escorted out of the ring by multiple referees and assisted to the back as she covers her face in shame. She shakes her head, slowly going up the ramp as the crowd continues singing the same tune at her. )

(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 it is for the EAW Hardcore Championship!!!!
(The lights around the stage turn off. The crowd roars in anticipation. The camera pans back to the stage, where the titantron reveals a stained glass design of Our Lady of Guadalupe. The smaller screens continue the stained glass design of the red, white, gold, browns like it’s one design. The sides of the stage have a white interior which are supposed to mimic the North and South Transept. The entrance from the back is in that same white arch color. Overall, this has the feeling of being inside a cathedral church. Despite all of that, the center of the stage is all dark. The lights begin to flicker nonstop — )

(The opening of the song is straight to the point as singer-songwriter Paris Paloma is revealed in the middle of the stage. She stands on a podium as she continues to strum her guitar. Her back up singers begin to circle around her as they sing their notes. The lights begin to flicker from black, white to blue to green to red as she begins to sing her song ‘Labour [the cacophony]’ Paris is wearing a simple jade green tiered layer maxi dress with a relaxed fit to it. Slowly, the flickering of the lights begins to slow down to not give anyone a seizure. Behind Paris, it’s completely shut out from the lights as we’re able to see behind her. Her back up singers begin to disappear from the camera shot, leaving the focus to be on Paris.)

(As Paris Paloma continues to sing on, the camera angles spins around to behind Paris and it reveals to be Cameron Ella Ava, who may have sneaked into the spot, when the back up singers were all circling around Paris during the chorus of the song. Cameron is in a Our Lady of Guadalupe inspired dress by Alberta Ferretti with a plunging necklace, meshing detailing and snake and white rose embroideries. Think Taylor Swift’s Folklore Dress from The Eras Tour. Cameron rests the back of her head on Paris Paloma’s shoulder. The two women are back-to-back together as Cameron is getting a feel of the song and Paris continues to sing.)

(The pedestal is shown to be rotational as it spins Cameron Ella Ava to the front as she begins to get off the pedestal. At each side of the ramp, we see females from the ages of five to eighty-five who hold up white roses to their chests.)
( Then, it pans back to the shrine of the Virgin of Guadalupe or Our Lady of Guadalupe, where a white rose appears on the floor with a small light that would go unnoticed if the cameras weren’t there. A reference to ‘La Rosa De Guadalupe,’ a telenovela, where the white rose would symbolize that the Virgin of Guadalupe has heard about Cameron Ella Ava’s requests to be Hardcore Champion. Much like her multiple requests, over the course of her life, which may have been denied or not yet answered due to the roses still there. If the issue is resolved, a gust of wind will appear and then the rose will disappear as the person is ‘touched’ by the Virgin of Guadalupe.)
(‘Labour [the cacophony]’ by Paris Paloma begins to play in the background as Cameron Ella Ava makes her way down the ramp and towards the ring.)
Bella Braxton: Introducing first the challenger… from Los Angeles, California she is “The Serpent” CAMERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRONNNNNNNNN ELLAAAAAAAA AVAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: What can be said about Cameron Ella Ava that cannot be said already? Only including this year of her legendary career she was already a favorite to win the Grand Rampage. She won a Gauntlet Match in order to earn this opportunity. She has done everything in her power to earn this match and many believe she is going to take the title.
James Peters: Don’t forget her biggest accomplishment! She is a mother as well!
Persephone: Cameron may be a mother but Luis is my daddy.
Rich Russillo: :francis:
James Peters: Cameron has not been a champion since 2020 and she is looking to correct that! It has been far too long since Cameron has had gold around her waist but can she do it tonight on the biggest stage that EAW has got to offer???
(“El Gavilan” by Luis R Conriquez, Peso Pluma, y Tony Aguirre hits to boos from the crowd.)
Bella Braxton: And her opponent from Hidalgo, Mexico he is “El Padrino” and he is the REIGNING AND DEFENDING EAW HARDCORE CHAMPION OF THE WORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRLDDDD ROBERTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTOOOOOOOOO DE LA ROSSSSSSSSSSSSSAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!
(Roberto De La Rosa steps out to the stage wearing a bright red custom made designer suit. He raises up the EAW Hardcore Championship as he kisses the luxurious jewelry on his hand. He flaunts his gold chain around his neck as he makes his way down to the ring. Once he reaches the ring, Roberto takes off his suit to reveal his ring gear to the mat. Roberto is shown smoking a cigar in the corner as he throws it to the ground and pyro erupts around the arena. The crowd boos loudly but they are soon covered up as massive Mexican flags are shown being draped across the arena covering the entire crowd.)
Roberto De La Rosa: (off-mic) :blessed:
(The massive Mexican flags are soon removed so that the crowd will be able to watch the match.)
Roberto De La Rosa: (off-mic) :wtf:
Rich Russillo: Ain’t no way he actually expected the match to begin with the crowd covered up…
Persephone: Why is Luis not out here with him? Is he seriously going to compete alone? You can’t win without Luis! Nobody can! There is no winning in life without Luis!
James Peters: Well all of that aside… Roberto De La Rosa has been Hardcore Champion since the end of last year. He has had a six month reign of terror over the Voltage brand with constant beatdowns involving La Familia. He has won some and lost some fights but he has always been a very dangerous competitor and the constant in all of that? The Hardcore Championship around his waist has been there the entire time.
Rich Russillo: This is undoubtedly the biggest match of Roberto’s career. He might be the champion but he is going up against the legendary Cameron Ella Ava and if he manages to defeat her and certify himself as a real “Hardcore Legend” then he will no doubt be on track to be an EAW Hall of Famer and one of the top stars in the entire company. But can he pull it off?!?!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Rich Russillo: We are underway now and we are about to get Hardcore! Roberto De La Rosa & Cameron Ella Ava are squaring off in the ring as they look to start things off in the most hardcore way possible with a collar and elbow tie-up!
James Peters: This crowd is not pleased at all to see technical wrestling in a Hardcore Match but it seems like that is what they are going to get and have no choice but to put up with it! Cameron Ella Ava grabs the arm of Roberto De La Rosa and twists him down to the mat. Cameron places her knee over the chest of Roberto as she keeps the pressure applied. But Roberto sweeps the leg out from under her as Cameron grabs onto the ropes. But as this is a Hardcore match there is no rope breaks. Cameron grabs the rope and yanks herself under it using the ropes to push back against Roberto and forcing him to release the hold with the pressure. Roberto lets go as Cameron rolls to the outside of the ring and she is possibly looking for some sort of weapon now.
Rich Russillo: The crowd coming alive now as Cameron Ella Ava reaches under the ring and pulls out a kendo stick!
James Peters: Roberto De La Rosa backing away in fear now as Cameron Ella Ava enters the ring with the kendo stick wildly swinging it around like a madwoman! Roberto ducks a shot from the kendo stick causing Cameron to smash up against the top rope getting nothing with that swing. Roberto now ducking out of the ring and he is looking under the ring for some sort of equalizer. But Cameron is pursuing him outside the ring. Roberto quickly grabs whatever he can find under the ring…
Persephone: Luis’ brother just found a coil of barbed wire under the ring. Cameron Ella Ava swinging her stupid stick but Luis’ brother holds up the barbed wire blocking her strike. Good thing Luis’ brother has taped up his wrists and hands tonight otherwise that barbed wire might have gone right into his hands… wait nevermind looks like it might have anyway as the hands of Luis’ brother are looking a bit red! Wait what is he doing now?
Rich Russillo: Roberto De La Rosa is spinning that barbed wire around his wrist! Roberto turning that barbed wire into a weapon and an extension of his own body! It will be painful to hit Cameron Ella Ava like that but apparently Roberto is planning to try it all the same! Roberto charges in at Cameron and punches at her head with the barbed wire! But Cameron ducks! Cameron swings the kendo stick and it slaps hard across the back of Roberto! Roberto feels the pain as he turns around and tries to resist coming after Cameron with the barbed wire again! Cameron swings the kendo stick! But Roberto blocks it with the barbed wire fist punching the kendo stick right back into the face of Cameron! Cameron’s move backfired on her completely! But the barbed wire punch appears to have hurt Roberto as well as both competitors fall back to the mat in pain before slowly getting back up to face off once more.
James Peters: Cameron Ella Ava is back up first as she slams the kendo stick down hard across the head of Roberto De La Rosa. Roberto staggers backwards into the corner but stays on his feet. But here comes Cameron with even more strikes with the kendo stick again and again forcing Roberto down to the mat. Cameron in control now as she is beating the hell out of Roberto with that stick and the crowd is all for it. They are sick and tired of Roberto and what he and his Familia have been doing on Voltage all season long. Roberto getting his long awaited punishment here at Pain for Pride!
Rich Russillo: Cameron Ella Ava grabs Roberto De La Rosa by the hair and tosses him out of the ring. Roberto goes tumbling out of the ring but slowly gets back up… Wait what is Cameron doing here-
James Peters: Cameron Ella Ava runs towards the ropes and does a backflip over the top rope! Cameron flips over the top rope and comes crashing down on top of Roberto De La Rosa with a kendo stick assisted Fosbury Flop! Cameron got all of it!
Persephone: Was the backflip really necessary? This bitch is just showing off for no reason. Look she went and hurt herself on that move too for no reason…
Rich Russillo: It is true both competitors are laid out but with how electric the crowd is after that maneuver I don’t think you can quite say that it was for no reason!
James Peters: Cameron Ella Ava stands back up as Roberto De La Rosa is down and out on the outside. Roberto looks like he has a busted eye now! Roberto with a bruised and slightly bloody eye as he grabs the ring apron trying to pull himself back up… but Cameron hits him hard across the back with the kendo stick. Roberto staggers into the turnbuckle post as Cameron swings at him again-
Rich Russillo: But Roberto De La Rosa ducks causing Cameron Ella Ava to hit the ring post with the kendo stick! Roberto shoves Cameron away and rolls back into the ring finally getting a minute to breath from being attacked with that stick. Both competitors now back in the ring as Cameron is relentless. Cameron grabs the arm of Roberto whipping him across the ring. Cameron sets up a baseball stance with the kendo stick! She’s going to hit Roberto’s head right off and score a home run!!!-
James Peters: But Roberto De La Rosa ducks under it and Cameron Ella Ava misses swinging the kendo stick wildly! Roberto kicks Cameron hard in the gut. Cameron keels over as Roberto slams his arm down hard across her back with the barbed wire coiled around it! Cameron screams out in pain as the barbed wire tears into her flesh! Roberto then grabs Cameron and drops her with a sudden DDT!
Persephone: Come on Luis’ brother! You got this! The cover!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
Referee: TW-
Rich Russillo: But the quick kickout from Cameron Ella Ava! Roberto De La Rosa slamming his fist down in rage but then remembers he has barbed wire around it and is just hurting himself further. Roberto should be happy though as he managed to turn the match around and made Cameron drop that kendo stick at last. Roberto now grabbing the kendo stick himself as he looks to get a bit of payback. Cameron slowly back up as Roberto brings the kendo stick down hard across the skull of Cameron! Cameron on wobbly legs now from that hellacious shot. Very impressive that she is even standing. Even Roberto looks confused for a second… But then he hits her again! Smashing that stick hard across her skull! She still doesn’t go down. WHACK! One more time!
James Peters: And the legend Cameron Ella Ava gets dropped at last! Roberto De La Rosa finally getting what he wanted as Cameron drops down hard to the mat and goes rolling outside the ring. That might have been entirely on instinct as she cannot be thinking straight after all of that head trauma. Cameron not moving at all on the outside as Roberto is stalking her. Roberto now going to the outside of the ring with barbed wire wrapped around one arm and the kendo stick in the other! Cameron slowly now managing to pull herself up as Roberto measures her. Roberto going for an attack with the stick… But Cameron ducks it! Actually more likely she collapsed than ducked it but the effect is the same! Roberto swings wildly and misses as Cameron crawls away from him on the floor with what power she currently has left. Roberto is stalking her however not letting her get away!
Rich Russillo: WHACK! The kendo stick right to the back of Cameron Ella Ava dropping her down flat on her stomach out here on the floor. These fans jeering and booing Roberto De La Rosa as he delivers pain to their hero Cameron right in front of them. Roberto calling the fans some nasty names we probably can’t repeat on air. At least not until the Disney deal is officially over and done with. Then you know I’m going to be saying all kinds of shit. You can’t stop me. Nobody can.
James Peters: Calm down Rich. But at the same time I feel you. WHACK! Another shot to the back from Roberto De La Rosa to Cameron Ella Ava on the outside of the ring! Roberto is definitely enjoying this and Cameron doesn’t seem to have much defense here. WHACK! SNAP! Roberto hit Cameron as hard as he could with the kendo stick and it looks like it finally snapped! I am surprised that it took as long as it did with the force that these competitors have used it with. Roberto now shoving the timekeeper aside as he grabs something! It’s a steel chair! Roberto now looking to hit Cameron with something possibly even more painful than a kendo stick! Cold hard steel!
Persephone: Luis’ brother is really wilding tonight. I will have to remember to stay on good terms with him at the wedding reception.
Rich Russillo: The steel chair smashes right into the skull of Cameron Ella Ava! Cameron staggers sideways and falls right over the barricade and into the crowd! Look out! The crowd scattering as Cameron collapses down across their chairs at ringside. But Roberto De La Rosa is following her in! Roberto drives the chair down hard into the side of Cameron as he begins to stomp away at her! Roberto now driving his barbed wire covered forearm right into the face of Cameron grinding the barbs right into her face slicing and dicing her! Roberto getting hardcore here tonight as these fans are disgusted and are throwing trash at him! Roberto swings the chair at one of the fans! Whelp that’s a lawsuit!-
James Peters: Luckily Roberto De La Rosa stops himself as the fan screams and falls over before running away. Roberto seems to have sent a clear message to Cameron Ella Ava’s rabid fans to leave him the hell alone. He grabs Cameron and tosses her back over the barricade and into the ringside area. Roberto jumps back over the barricade as he goes for the cover outside the ring and the referee slides in to make the count for these falls which do indeed count anywhere!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TW-
Rich Russillo: A kickout by Cameron Ella Ava! She looks dazed and confused but I have to imagine that the fighting warrior that we know her to be still lurks deep within regardless of the damage she has suffered here tonight! Roberto De La Rosa slams down the chair in anger as he grabs Cameron and hooks her in… Roberto with a DDT onto the chair! No! Cameron with elbow shots to the gut of Roberto as she is fighting back with all that she’s got! Cameron shoves Roberto away before rolling back into the ring evading him. But Roberto tosses the chair into the ring smiling as he slides back in as well knowing that he has Cameron exactly where he wants her! The crowd boos as Roberto pumps his fist! Roberto in the corner as he prepares to punch the lights out of Cameron! Roberto lunges in-
James Peters: SUPERMAN PUNCH WITH BARBED WIRE!!!-
Persephone: YES KILL THAT WHORE!!! Wait no… What the… this bitch!!!-
Rich Russillo: Cameron Ella Ava grabbed the steel chair and hurled it right at Roberto De La Rosa as he charged in! She nailed him right in the face and Roberto is sent sprawling! Cameron to the cover and she might have this!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Referee: TW-
James Peters: A kickout from Roberto De La Rosa!!! Cameron Ella Ava might not have won the match but she took out the Hardcore Champion and that is something that is going to enable her to possibly turn the direction of this match around before it is too late! Cameron grabs the steel chair and once again jumps on top of Roberto ramming it down into his midsection. Cameron weakly using what strength she has left to throw that chair hard into Roberto but she goes down in the process. Both competitors laid out as they try to recover. Cameron back up slowly using the chair as a crutch to pull herself back up.
Rich Russillo: Cameron Ella Ava now looking down at that barbed wire wrapped arm of Roberto De La Rosa. She has devious intentions here! Cameron lifting the chair up high into the sky… and brings it down on the arm of Roberto!
James Peters: She got all of it! Cameron Ella Ava smashing the barbed wire right through the taped wrists of Roberto De La Rosa into his skin! Roberto’s arm now gushing out blood onto the mat as he screams in pain! But Cameron now stomping with her boot right into the barbed wire! Roberto’s entire arm has turned red and slick with blood! Roberto tries to grab the ropes to escape but his arm slips off and Cameron hits him in the back with the chair! Roberto falls into the corner and Cameron charges in with a Running Knee Strike into the corner. Roberto down on his knees now as he falls forward but Cameron kicks him back into a seated position in the corner. Roberto is taking a real beating here as he looks legitimately beaten down now and Cameron just might be en route to putting him away and winning the championship here tonight!
Persephone: Luis needs to come down here and save his brother! What’s his name again? Luis Jr?
Rich Russillo: Wouldn’t that make him his son? Nevermind it’s Pain for Pride we are not going to engage! Roberto De La Rosa back up as Cameron Ella Ava takes his head off one more time with the steel chair! Cameron now grabbing the wrist of Roberto and grinding his own barbed wire covered arm right into the face of Roberto! Roberto screaming now as his own weapon backfires on him and the blood begins to flow out of his head as well! Roberto’s arm and face pouring blood now down his body as he is taking severe punishment here tonight! Cameron lifts the chair up high in the ring stained with Roberto’s blood as she celebrates before the massive record breaking crowd we have gathered here tonight!
James Peters: Roberto De La Rosa is visibly shaking now as he slowly gets back up onto his hands and knees and then back to his feet. This might not be a good idea. Cameron Ella Ava still has that chair and Roberto might be better just lying down and taking the loss. Roberto back up as Cameron rams the chair hard into his midsection. But Roberto is still somehow on his feet! Cameron slams the chair down and then drops Roberto with the No Body, No Crime right on top of the chair!!!
Rich Russillo: CAMERON GOT ALL OF IT! NO BODY NO CRIME RIGHT ONTO THE CHAIR! CAMERON TO THE COVER! NEW CHAMPION! NEW CHAMPION!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
James Peters: WHAT NO WAY! ROBERTO DE LA ROSA KICKS OUT!!!
Persephone: Yes! The bloodline of Luis continues to show its miraculous powers here tonight!
Rich Russillo: Cameron Ella Ava is surprised that Roberto De La Rosa managed to survive the power of her finishing maneuver. She is starting to see just why he has been Hardcore Champion all of this time. The will to survive is necessary to get through a Hardcore match like this! Cameron now stomping away at Roberto as she yanks him back up and then drops him with a Bodyslam to the mat. Cameron now looking possibly to go high risk here as she climbs up to the top rope. Cameron going to the top rope as she realizes she will have to do something drastic here! A career shortening Flying Legdrop off the top rope! Cameron keeps on doing those and her back will not survive when she is still wrestling in her 50s!!!
Persephone: Isn’t she already wrestling in her 50s?
James Peters: No! But you might be able to count to 50! Cameron Ella Ava got all of that Flying Legdrop across the throat of Roberto De La Rosa! The cover from Cameron as it might be over this time for real for real.
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: THRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR-
Rich Russillo: Roberto De La Rosa kicks out yet again! Super Roberto lives on!
James Peters: What will it take to put him away? Cameron Ella Ava picks Roberto De La Rosa back up and slams him hard right on the steel chair in the middle of the ring. Roberto barely even able to stand at this point as Cameron rolls out of the ring and looks for something under the ring. Cameron pulls out a barbed wire covered kendo stick! Cameron grabs it as she slides back into the ring! But Roberto is suddenly up and grabs Cameron by the neck yanking her down over the top rope! Roberto somehow managed to turn the tables on Cameron and yanked her down causing her to drop the barbed wire kendo stick to the floor! Roberto falls down as well as he lies in the ring and Cameron is holding her throat in pain on the apron.
Persephone: I hope that this match has interference. Do you know who I want to interfere in this match?
Rich Russillo: Yes. Anyway looks like Cameron Ella Ava is slowly getting back up as Roberto De La Rosa is as well. Despite that desperate move from Roberto, Cameron still looks better off! She shoves him back into the corner… but Roberto bounces out of the corner and runs out of the corner at high speed! Roberto flips over Cameron and drops her head first!!! MEXICAN DESTROYER CONNECTS RIGHT TO THE STEEL CHAIR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING!!! HOLY SHIT WHERE DID THAT EVEN COME FROM?!?!
James Peters: I HAVE NO IDEA! THIS BLOOD COVERED MOTHERFUCKER ROBERTO DE LA ROSA JUST OPERATING ON PURE INSTINCT HERE AS HE HIT A MEXICAN DESTROYER ON CAMERON ELLA AVA DRIVING HER SKULL INTO THAT CHAIR! ROBERTO TO THE COVER!!! ROBERTO TO RETAIN!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: SOMEHOW SOMEWAY CAMERON ELLA AVA KICKS OUT!!!
James Peters: Roberto De La Rosa cannot believe it! He thought he had the match won there! He’s lying motionlessly in the ring before rolling to the outside. Roberto grabbing that barbed wire covered kendo stick as he gets back into the ring. Roberto slowly back up now as he stalks towards Cameron Ella Ava with that dangerous weapon. Roberto struggling to walk from the damage he has taken but he is still moving forward on pure willpower as he leaps up and drives the barbed wire right down into the flesh of Cameron!
Persephone: Of course she would move…
Rich Russillo: Cameron Ella Ava moves out of the way as she falls back into the corner. Roberto De La Rosa swings the barbed wire kendo stick at her… But she ducks it! He drops the kendo stick to the mat as Cameron shoves him back! Cameron off the ropes… But wait look out! Roberto takes Cameron down with a Running Lariat! Roberto driving that barbed wire covered arm as hard as he can right into the neck and chest of Cameron tearing into her flesh and scarring her permanently for life! Cameron goes down as she begins to bleed slightly from the cuts across her chest but she pulls herself up against the ropes. Roberto now charges in looking to hit another Running Lariat!!!-
James Peters: But Cameron Ella Ava ducks it and sends Roberto De La Rosa flying up over the top rope to the outside of the ring! Cameron collapses in the ring from the effort but sees the barbed wire kendo stick and lifts it up! Cameron rolls to the outside of the ring now and she looks to use that weapon against Roberto! Cameron slams the kendo stick covered with barbed wire into the leg of Roberto and yanks it back tearing the skin of Roberto with that barbed wire! Roberto screams in pain as he kicks back nailing Cameron in the groin causing her to drop the kendo stick! Roberto with a Leg Sweep kicking Cameron down to the ground as he manages to escape now for the time being. Roberto crawling under the ring now as Cameron slowly gets back up and now is looking around for her opponent.
Rich Russillo: Cameron Ella Ava cannot seem to find Roberto De La Rosa anywhere. She turns around putting her hands up asking the fans if he gave up.
Cameron Ella Ava: (off-mic) Damn did he puss out?
James Peters: But the fans are telling Cameron Ella Ava that he went under the ring. Cameron looks incredulous that Roberto De La Rosa would even think about going underneath the ring. But she flips open the apron an-
Persephone: DAMN SHE GOT GOT! FIRE EXTINGUISHER SMOKE RIGHT TO THE FACE!!! TAKE THAT! LUIS’ BROTHER IS BRINGING THE SMOKEEEEEEEE!!!
Rich Russillo: Cameron Ella Ava gets blasted directly in the face with a fire extinguisher and the material went into her mouth! She is coughing up a lung as she tries to hack, cough, and vomit everything she just consumed up. But look through the smoke! Roberto De La Rosa just charged in with a Running Bulldog dropping Cameron on the outside! Roberto grabs Cameron and drives her face first into the ring steps! Roberto places Cameron’s arm in between the steel ring steps and begins to slam the fire extinguisher into it! Cameron yells out in pain as Roberto is doing severe damage to her arm! Cameron eventually gets her arm free but Roberto grabs her and picks her up. Roberto rams Cameron head first into the turnbuckle! And now Cameron’s skull has been busted open! Cameron has a bloody gash on the back of her head from that impact as her hair is now soaked with blood! That can’t bode well for her to continue in this match much longer!
James Peters: What is Roberto De La Rosa even doing now? Roberto looking under the ring as he pulls out a sharp looking knife.
Rich Russillo: Oh hell no. This is getting too dangerous.
Crowd: WE WANT TABLES! WE WANT TABLES! WE WANT TABLES!
James Peters: Roberto De La Rosa shrugging now as he puts the knife back under the ring and takes a table out instead. I guess the crowd is going to get what they want! I am not sure I feel comfortable knowing that there is a knife under the ring however.
Persephone: Don’t worry I put it there before every show. Just in case.
Rich Russillo: Roberto De La Rosa now setting up the table at ringside as he grabs a small bag from under the ring as well… Roberto is emptying thumbtacks on top of the table! This might be going too far! We don’t want to see anybody get punctured like that. That could cause severe injury! What if a thumbtack goes into someone’s eye or some shit?
James Peters: I don’t even want to think about that Rich. But now Roberto De La Rosa is pulling Cameron Ella Ava up onto the ringsteps. Cameron in position! Roberto signaling to use the Mexican Destroyer that he stole on Cameron! He’s going to drive her head first right into that table covered with thumbtacks-
Rich Russillo: No wait! Cameron Ella Ava reverses it! Cameron with a Back Body Drop!!! Cameron drives Roberto back first into the thumbtack covered table! BAH GAWD SHE GOT ALL OF IT!!!
James Peters: Roberto De La Rosa now screaming in pain again as he has several times already tonight! But it is justified as he just got dropped back first into that table and his entire back has been pierced by thumbtacks! It is going to be a real chore for our doctor backstage to get all of those out after this match! Roberto is going to be in severe pain just moving around and I legitimately don’t even know how much more he can take! Roberto appears to not be moving at all! I think he passed out from the pain! Cameron with the cover!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
Persephone: DING! DING! DING!
Rich Russillo: No! Roberto De La Rosa somehow kicked out! I have no idea how or why he did it! He’s going to seriously stay in this thing and take more punishment? He already has dozens of thumbtacks piercing his back. He’s covered in blood. How much more can the Hardcore Champion take? He’s going to end up dead before this night is over!
James Peters: And I think Cameron Ella Ava might be just fine with ending his life here tonight! We are getting a crash course reminder on just why Cameron is one of the most dangerous people in EAW history here tonight!
Rich Russillo: Cameron Ella Ava tosses Roberto De La Rosa back into the ring as she mounts on top of him and begins delivering straight closed fist punches to the face. Cameron just beating the hell out of Roberto now as she lays into him. Cameron punching away and she’s going to continue until Roberto is rendered unconscious. But Roberto suddenly fires back with a hard headbutt out of nowhere knocking Cameron off him and to the mat. Roberto might have hurt himself with that but it was effective enough to knock Cameron away. Roberto then rolls on top of Cameron and begins choking her out with his bare hands. It seems we have been reduced to just straight up brawling and attempted murder in the ring now as both of these competitors have no doubt suffered severe brain damage in this match here tonight.
Persephone: And their brains weren’t in great condition to begin with!
James Peters: Cameron Ella Ava grabs the bottom rope and pulls herself outside of the ring to escape the choke of Roberto De La Rosa. Roberto is smashed up against the ropes and forced to release as Cameron rolls to the outside and manages to get some air. Cameron outside of the ring now as well as she is following Roberto and goes right back to choking him!-
Rich Russillo: No! Roberto De La Rosa with a drop toe hold sending Cameron Ella Ava face first into the steel ring steps! The Hardcore Champion with a great counter there as he manages to get back up to his feet and stagger away from Cameron before she is able to recover as well. Roberto charges in and drops Cameron with a Running Clothesline using his barbed wire covered arm. Cameron goes down as Roberto flips up the ring apron and begins looking for something down there.
James Peters: Roberto De La Rosa pulls out a ladder! Roberto grabs the ladder and he waits for Cameron Ella Ava to get back up before charging in and impaling her with that ladder! Roberto got all of that as he just smashed that right into Cameron who may have suffered damage to her internal organs from the force. Roberto sets the ladder up like a bridge from the ring apron to the barricade as he grabs Cameron and pulls her up to the ring apron and then up on top of the bridged ladder. What does Roberto have in mind here?!?
Rich Russillo: El Último Deseo!!! Roberto going for his finishing maneuver right here onto the ladder! Can he get it???-
James Peters: He does not! Cameron Ella Ava counters with a Back Drop flipping Roberto De La Rosa over and he lands back first onto the ladder! Cameron collapses from the effort falling off the ladder and landing down on the floor!
Persephone: If Luis’ brother loses the match he should be kicked out of the familia for real.
Rich Russillo: Cameron yanks Roberto off the ladder and tosses him back into the ring as she grabs a steel chair and enters the ring as well. Cameron sets the chair up in the ring as she grabs Roberto and she drops Roberto with the No Body, No Crime onto the chair! This one is over for sure now! Cameron into the cover!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
James Peters: Somehow Roberto De La Rosa kicks out yet again! Roberto De La Rosa going all out to prove how Hardcore he is tonight! Cameron Ella Ava just can’t seem to put him away! That is the second time that he has kicked out of her finishing maneuver!!!
Persephone: Can it really be called a finishing move anymore if it doesn’t actually finish off your opponent?
Rich Russillo: Usually it does. But tonight is Pain for Pride and these competitors are simply built different!
James Peters: Cameron Ella Ava pulls Roberto De La Rosa back up and she says she’s going to just do it again! NO BODY, NO CRIME!!!!-
Rich Russillo: But Roberto De La Rosa counters it! Roberto flips Cameron up and over dropping her back first onto the steel chair! Roberto then grabs Cameron and tosses her outside the ring. Roberto now setting up the steel chair in the ring and what does he have planned now? Roberto runs off the ropes and leaps up to the chair before jumping up backwards to the top rope! Roberto then flips off the top rope with a Moonsault landing on Cameron on the outside! Roberto falls into the cover on Cameron! This could be it!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
James Peters: But Cameron Ella Ava kicks out! Roberto De La Rosa is stunned and not even moving as he doesn’t know what it will take to put her away either! Roberto pulling Cameron up again as he looks to connect with El Último Deseo! But Cameron counters it and throws Roberto hard back first into the LED barricade here at ringside. Roberto’s blood smearing across the monitor and spraying into the front row covering our fans.
Rich Russillo: Cameron now tossing Roberto back into the ring as she grabs a baseball bat from under the ring. Cameron with a deranged look on her face now as she approaches Roberto in the ring. Roberto struggles to pull himself up in the corner as Cameron brings the bat down hard right into his skull!-
James Peters: But Roberto moves out of the way just in time! Roberto avoiding having his skull smashed open like a watermelon here tonight! Roberto rolling out into the ring as he puts his hands up practically begging Cameron to stay away from him at this point. But she is relentless and is chasing after him with the bat! Cameron hits Roberto hard across the back with the bat as he tries to escape and it sends him up and over the top rope to the outside! Roberto manages to land on his feet holding his back in pain as he staggers over to the ramp.
Persephone: El hermano de Luis seems like he is trying to run away. Hopefully Luis comes out to inspire him with his legendary courage so he keeps fighting!
Rich Russillo: But Cameron Ella Ava will not let Roberto De La Rosa escape! She chases after him with the bat up the ramp! But Roberto turns around and nails her with a Jumping Cutter out of nowhere! The bat goes flying as Cameron lands face first down on the ramp. Roberto now reaches into his tights and pulls out a pair of brass knuckles! Cameron back up now as she doesn’t know what is awaiting her!!!
James Peters: ROBERTO WITH A DIRECT STRIKE TO THE FACE WITH THE BRASS KNUCKLES!!! CAMERON COLLAPSES! ROBERTO FALLS ON HER FOR THE COVER TO RETAIN!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
Referee: …
Referee: … …
Referee: … … …
Rich Russillo: Cameron Ella Ava kicks out yet again! Even a direct strike to the face with brass knuckles was not enough to put her away! Roberto De La Rosa’s favorite weapon did not pay off! Roberto now making his way down to ringside as the fans boo and heckle him. Roberto gets up into the face of one of the fans before snatching a massive plastic bag of popcorn from him. Roberto then smashes the popcorn bag over the head of Cameron! I’m not sure that was very effective but maybe it hurt a little?
James Peters: It probably hurt that fan more than Cameron but by the looks of them Roberto did them a favor on their diet for real.
Persephone: The fan can probably still eat some of that.
Rich Russillo: Oh nah. There’s blood in that… Roberto grabs Cameron and pulls her up to her feet! He is dragging her up the ramp by the hair! What does Roberto have planned here? Roberto slams Cameron face first into the side of the stage! Roberto then charges off the stage throwing Cameron off of it!-
James Peters: But Cameron manages to stop herself and punches Roberto before he can throw her to her death off the Pain for Pride stage! That stage looks extra tall with our set up tonight! He was trying to kill her but to be real that is what it might take to become Hardcore Champion here tonight!
Rich Russillo: EAW is returning to their extreme roots tonight as Cameron grabs Roberto by the hair and drags him down off the side of the stage. Both fall off the stage somewhat undramatically as they just kind of collapse to the ground. The crowd boos clearly expecting someone to spear the other off the stage or something maybe with some massive nonsensical pyro explosions for dramatic effect.
James Peters: Instead both competitors are just dead at this point and can barely stand up! They both manage to get to their knees and are exchanging strikes. We have a cameraman getting his ass down there because we don’t have a great shot of the action from that angle. Apparently our production crew forgot that?
Persephone: Fire them asap.
Rich Russillo: Roberto De La Rosa gets back up first!!! El Último Deseo!!! No! Cameron Ella Ava counters it and connects with No Body, No Crime!!! No! Roberto counters that as well! Roberto shoves Cameron out of this area back up onto the ramp and follows after her. Roberto drags Cameron back down to ringside and into the ring. Roberto goes underneath the ring as he grabs a flamethrower! Roberto begins blasting flames off randomly nearly scorching several fan members as he enters the ring! Not this way! This is too far!
James Peters: Roberto De La Rosa sprays the flamethrower at Cameron Ella Ava to burn her alive!!!
Rich Russillo: But Cameron Ella Ava throws herself out of the ring to survive! It looks like he got a bit of her hair there but Cameron grabs the fire extinguisher and sprays herself with it to put the fire out! Cameron disappears into a cloud of fire extinguisher smoke as Roberto is now left confused as to where she i-
James Peters: NO BODY, NO CRIME!!! Cameron uses the smokescreen tactic to sneak up on Roberto De La Rosa from behind and lays him out! Cameron then bashes Roberto over the head with the fire extinguisher as he is knocked out!
Rich Russillo: Cameron Ella Ava picks Roberto De La Rosa back up but he can barely stand…. Both competitors collapse from the amount of damage that they have been taken! Cameron is unable to take advantage of the maneuver.
James Peters: Somehow Roberto is still moving! Roberto is crawling over towards Cameron and I have no idea how he keeps coming. He can’t even stand at this point-
Rich Russillo: LAVENDER HAZE!!! CAMERON YANKS ROBERTO INTO THAT DEADLY SUBMISSION MANEUVER!!! THE LAVENDER HAZE HAS BEEN APPLIED!!
James Peters: Cameron or Roberto couldn’t even get up at this point in the match but Cameron managed to trap Roberto on the ground in that Koji Clutch! And Roberto is not moving! He’s fading and it’s going to be over soon!
Rich Russillo: The referee is checking Roberto as he lifts his arm to see if he is unconscicous! The arm falls! Wait Cameron’s shoulders are down also on the count!!!! She has the hold applied but her shoulders are down!
Referee: ONE!
James Peters: The referee lifts the arm again!
Referee: TWO!
Rich Russillo: If the arm falls again this thing is over!!!
Referee: THREE!
James Peters: CAMERON GETS THE SHOULDER UP, WHILE ROBERTO’S ARM DROPS FOR THE THIRD TIME!!!! THIS ONE IS OVER!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Bella Braxton: Here is your winner…. AND NEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW EAW HARDCORE CHAMPION OF THE WORLD… CAMERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRONNNNNNN ELLAAAAAAAAAAA EVAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(‘I Wish A Bitch Would’ by Delilah Bon hits as the crowd erupts into cheers.)
Rich Russillo: She did it! Cameron Ella Ava has added to her already stacked Hall of Fame legacy with yet another title victory! Cameron is the Hardcore Champion!
James Peters: It took absolutely everything that these competitors had. They literally fought until they could not stand up and now we definitely need to get them medical attention. They are completely deceased.
Persephone: Sigh. I guess Luis really is the only winner in his family.
(Much like Roberto De La Rosa, Cameron Ella Ava is literally unable to stand at this point as the referee drapes the championship over her. Pyro blasts around the arena as the fans continue to celebrate Cameron’s championship victory.)
Rich Russillo: It looks like we have officials finally making their way down to the ramp to help the competitors stand. Roberto De La Rosa is a blood covered mess as he is all but carried out backstage. Roberto is not happy about what happened as he shoves one of the officials down at the top of the stage and then continues to stagger and stumble out of the arena with as much of his own power as he can.
James Peters: Cameron Ella Ava is slowly getting back up as well! Cameron is visibly emotional with this victory meaning more to her than possibly any championship win in her career before!
Rich Russillo: And we all know why as this is her first championship win since becoming a mother! Congratulations to Cameron!
Persephone: I think she loves the championship more than her child this belt is her real baby!
James Peters: That is a very disgusting thing to say. How dare you!
(Cameron Ella Ava clutches the championship to her chest in the ring as the crowd gives her a standing ovation for her performance here tonight. Eventually the scene fades away with that being the final shot.)
(The camera cuts to a commercial featuring fans questioning if EAW has gone woke.)
(Pain For Pride Kingdom returns from a commercial break as the next match card is seen flashing across the screen and a loud roar echoes through the arena.)

Bella Braxton: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS AN EXPLODING FLAMING TABLES MATCH!!! AND IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!!!
(The camera pans around, showing a special set of tables equipped with explosive detonators and some lighters placed nearby. The referee is seen wearing gloves for safety while preparing for the match. The scene then fades back to Bella Braxton who proceeds with her announcement.)
Bella Braxton: IN THIS MATCH, THERE ARE NO RULES OR DISQUALIFICATIONS! ALL WEAPONS ARE ALLOWED! BOTH COMPETITORS WILL FIGHT WITH A SET OF EXPLODING FLAMING TABLES SET OUT IN THE ARENA. THE ONLY WAY TO WIN IS BY PINFALL OR SUBMISSION!
(‘Sweet Dreams’ by Eurythmics (with Annie Lennox & Dave Stewart) blares through with loud boos echoing across the Camping World Stadium. Harper Lee is then seen walking out with a serious expression on her face as she pauses at the stage. She has been through some serious matters, and we already know why. She heads to the ring dead set on putting an end to Holly’s wrestling career here tonight at Pain For Pride.)
Bella Braxton: INTRODUCING FIRST!… FROM CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA!… WEIGHING IN AT 118 POUNDS!… THE WORST WOMAN IN THE WORLD!…. HARPERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!….. LEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
James Peters: Pain For Pride, for anyone, is the culmination of a Season-long story of struggle and anguish. Fighting to feel as though they have been rewarded for their efforts. For many, it ends here. There have been career-ending moments on this stage before, and there have been the final chapters written at Pain For Pride. This is where it’s going to end between these two specifically. Heading into Pain For Pride, Harper Lee mentioned that she’s going to do Holly a favor in this match, as this was her suggestion in the first place, and that’s to end Holly for good. It’s been a long road between the two former members of POTARA, and there’s no doubt this will go down in history!
Rich Russillo: Here’s what Harper said. She mentioned hoping Holly will be okay with Harper being her final opponent, and I think that really speaks volumes of Harper’s intentions tonight. It’s more than just a case of being sick and tired of each other, this showdown has been a very long time coming. In her eyes, this is where Harper will finally give Holly the boot.
Persephone: Do we really care about their issues? All I want is to see someone get taken out tonight. Come on hurry up, get your ass in the ring.
James Peters: She also mentioned that she’s going to make Harper realize tonight that she bit off more than she could chew by challenging her to this match.
Rich Russillo: Harper Lee thinks that having a date at Pain For Pride is a complete waste of time for both Holly and herself but Harper, formerly known as the woman without fear, will surely find accepting this match leaves her with some scars to show for it.
(Harper enters the ring and begins taking off her entrance gear as ‘Judas’ by Lady Gaga plays. This time, the reaction to Harper is the opposite of what she usually gets. A loud cheer can be heard as Holly Arrow walks out, her eyes fixed on Harper Lee from miles away. Holly Arrow dons an attire with the same colour scheme as what used to be POTARA’s – the orange and the blue, orange being the primary colour with blue being the secondary highlight of the attire, in a glittery polyester looking material. Alongside it, she sports one of her regular fluffy jackets draped over her shoulders, matching the same colour scheme as her regular attire, though rather than being made out of fluff; it is instead a jacket full of burnt photographs of POTARA, stitched together around the jacket itself. Holly marches to the ring with the sole purpose of ending her redemption arc against Harper Lee.)
Bella Braxton: INTRODUCING HER OPPONENT!… CURRENTLY RESIDING IN LIVERPOOL, ENGLAND!… WEIGHING IN AT 149 POUNDS!… THE SERAPH!!!!!!!… HOLLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!… ARROWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!
James Peters: Territorial Invasion 2022. The last time these two faced each other in a singles match, Holly Arrow was vying to become the Universal Women’s Champion, but Harper Lee emerged victorious and retained the title. Fast forward to now, and here we are. After a significant betrayal by Harper Lee, Holly Arrow is out for revenge and has demanded this match to settle the score. Harper Lee has not only damaged Holly’s reputation but also shattered the respect and trust Holly had for her. Tonight, it all ends here. Everything ends at Pain for Pride.
Rich Russillo: Holly also pointed out that the match was lost due to ramifications, implying that it’s a loss Harper couldn’t handle, while Holly could emphasize who should be blamed for the entire saga between them. POTARA had made history as a tag team, and after their downfall, this match may well be another significant chapter to add to their history.
Persephone: This entire saga sucks so does that One Hit Wonder of a tag team themselves. Glad to see one of them die tonight. We are also tired of this overhyped jobber and her redemption arc bullshit and Harper is just mid as fuck.
Rich Russillo: Hey, let’s not be too harsh. I know a lot of people hate Harper Lee, but you can’t deny the impact she has made here!
Persephone: Fuck all of that bruh. Fuck you too, more importantly.
Rich Russillo: :comeagain:
( DING DING DING! )
James Peters: This Exploding Flaming Tables Match has officially begun—OUCH! HOLLY ARROW RUNS HALFWAY ACROSS THE RING AND SENDS HARPER THROUGH THE ROPES DOWN TO THE OUTSIDE GROUND WITH A VICIOUS RUNNING ELBOW STRIKE!
Rich Russillo: Harper is on the outside, and Holly quickly follows, putting them on equal ground. She grabs Harper and DRIVES HER BACK INTO THE BARRICADE WITH AN EXPLODER SUPLEX! Both competitors have been waiting for this moment forever, exchanging heated words and harboring hatred. This is where they have declared the end of all dilemmas between them, as they both promised each other!
Persephone: WOOO! SOMEONE IS GOING TO DIE! I HOPE RICH WILL BE JOINING THEM SOON! THIS IS GREAT NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: ?????
James Peters: Holly Arrow now has the edge in this match, getting Harper up from the ground… THROWING HER FACE FIRST INTO THE RING POST! Harper took a direct hit and rolled back into the ring to avoid Holly who is becoming more ruthless with each blow she lands on Harper.
Rich Russillo: While chaos is unfolding in the ring, don’t forget that these two have to be aware of what they’re about to face. Those tables with explosives attached, which are the main theme of this competition, must be on their watch. I can’t even imagine being put through a table with flames on it at the same time!
James Peters: Harper Lee is retaining her footing this time with Holly Arrow making another approach to seize her-
Rich Russillo: A BICYCLE KNEE STOPS HOLLY IN HER TRACKS! Harper Lee now seizes the upper hand Holly once had in this match, quickly grabbing Holly by her wrist and catching up with her… RUNNING SPRINGBOARD FLATLINER CONNECTS!
James Peters: COUNTER! Holly clings to the rope with her right hand, sending Harper crashing to the ground instead! The crowd is left in awe at the counter Holly Arrow just pulled! Holly Arrow returns to her rightful place on top! Holly now rolls Harper through and pulls her back to send her down to the ropes… Looking for a lariat-
James Peters: HARPER LEE KICKS HER ARM AWAY AS SOON AS SHE REBOUNDED BACK! BICYCLE KICK FOLLOWS UP ACROSS HOLLY’S JAW TAKING THE WIND OUT OF THE STARKILLER’S SAILS!…
Rich Russillo: BUT HOLLY REBOUNDS OFF WITH A NASTY PENDULUM LARIAT FROM THE ROPES! TURNING THE TABLES AGAINST HARPER LEE!- BUT HARPER FLIPS OVER THE LARIAT BY THE SKIN OF HER TEETH AND SHE JUST LANDS RIGHT OVER HOLLY!
James Peters: HARPER SKIPS OVER AND IMMEDIATELY CATCHES HER OFF GUARD WITH THE RUMBLING! THE RUMBLING GOT HOLLY! SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMB but that’s just a crucial part of dealing substantial damage to her opponent in this competition!
Persephone: Not enough, need more blood. MORE MORE MROE EGFJOGFMEJBGIUOWNVHJ WINKJVWBVIU: WIOIH: #WK
Rich Russillo: There’s a long road ahead in this match, and both competitors know it. Harper is now back on her feet and lifting Holly, tossing her through the ropes to the ringside floor. Harper quickly follows, picking Holly up from the ground and sending her… CRASHING INTO THE STEEL STEPS! :lupe: Holly has been struggling hard at the moment and she could barely do anything to Harper.
Persephone: We know. She fucking SUCKS!!!!!! :joy: :index_pointing_at_the_viewer: Well actually, both suck equally anyway so… POTARA, more like please retire already.
James Peters: That says a lot about Harper Lee as well—she’s not making any reservations for a quick break. Harper is now looking for an equalizer, and it seems like we might be quite familiar with this from somewhere before.
Rich Russillo: A toolbox! We’ve seen her use this multiple times in the past! Specifically to betray tag team partners as well… :mjpls: What’s Harper trying to pull here with Holly? Her twisted mind must be captivated by something sinister!!!!
James Peters: That’s what’s about to unfold next, with Harper WHACKING Holly’s head with a toolbox just as she’s trying to get back in the groove- NO! A quick sidestep by Holly as Harper whiffs it… OH! POP-UP METEORA WHILE HARPER LEE IS STILL HOLDING ONTO THE TOOLBOX, CAUSING IT TO CRASH ONTO HER FACE!
Rich Russillo: Nice! Holly is now gaining the upper hand once again flooring Harper when she tried to clobber her with that heavy toolbox. Holly is now the one getting back on her feet, steadily focusing on Harper as the toolbox lies broken open. Holly is taking something out of it… uh oh. :lupe:
Rich Russillo: IT’S A SCREWDRIVER! Are we already going down the rabbit hole like this???!?!? She’s indeed trying to kill Harper as she promised! This is where the rubber meets the road for both women!
Persephone: What the fuck is that question? Have you been keeping an eye on things? Yes, they are going to go at each other, and someone is going to bite the dust so we can pop the champagne! WOOHOO!!!!!!!
James Peters: Harper takes a step back into the ring without knowing what Holly already has in her hand. Harper is on both feet and can hardly participate in any of these while Holly Arrow is now stalking Harper with a serial killer look and SHE CHARGES IN!- OH MY GOD!
Persephone: SHE JUST SHOVED A FUCKING SCREWDRIVER INTO HER GUT YEAH BABYYYYYYYYYYY THIS IS WHAT WE PAID FOR!!!!!!!!!!
James Peters: Not quite, but you’re right! Holly Arrow was definitely trying to end it all for Harper Lee right there, but Harper managed to catch her arm and grip the hand holding the screwdriver until it became loose. Holly lost possession of her equalizer, and Harper was looking for Ragnarok-
Rich Russillo: SHE SLIPPED AWAY THIS TIME AND GOT HARPER FROM BEHIND… YOU KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS? IT’S THE EMPEROR’S TIME! THE EMPEROR’S TIME CONNECTS! HARPER LEE IS DOWN! HOLLY COVERS!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
James Peters: KICK OUT! These two women are giving it their all in this match, aiming to end each other’s careers right here.
Rich Russillo: Holly and Harper are equally determined to defeat one another. We’ve slowly been building up from the opening bell and I am certain that it’s only going to escalate further as we go on!
James Peters: Don’t forget, this is Exploding Flaming Tables. These could truly be life-threatening, and it’s anyone’s guess whether they will come out in one piece after being put through one of these tables!
Persephone: Perfect.
Rich Russillo: Holly is now rummaging through her bag of tricks, preparing to unveil a new tactic, while Harper Lee is gathering herself after being floored by that brutal Ripcord Lariat from Holly! Holly seems to have an ace up her sleeve and appears poised to launch another relentless assault on Harper Lee!… ARE THOSE UTILITY KNIVES?????
Persephone: YASSSSSSSSS SAY IT WITH ME GUYS! SLIT THE THROAT! SLIT THE THROAT! SLIT THE THROAT! SLIT THE THROAT! SLIT THE THROAT! SLIT THE THROAT!
James Peters: SHE’S GOT THE SHARP EDGE OF THE BLADE IN HER HAND AND IS AIMING IT AT HARPER’S FACE—OH NO, STOP THIS! CUT IT OUT! HAS SHE GONE INSANE?
Rich Russillo: AHHHHHH! I CAN’T BELIEVE MY EYES! HOLLY IS TRYING TO CARVE UP HARPER’S FACE WITH UTILITY KNIVES! AND THE CHAOS CONTINUES! SHE’S TRYING TO FORCE THEM DOWN WHILE HARPER STRUGGLES TO HOLD THEM BACK BEFORE THEY SLICE INTO HER FACE!
James Peters: HOLLY MUST REALLY HAVE A BONE TO PICK AS SHE CONTINUES TO PRESSURE HARPER! AND HARPER IS BARELY HOLDING ON AS SHE KNOWS THE TYPE OF SITUATION SHE’S GOING TO BE IN IF SHE ALLOWS THIS TO HAPPEN! THIS HAS GONE TOO FAR! THIS IS NOT A DISNEY SHOW!
Rich Russillo: WOAH! THE UTILITY KNIVES NARROWLY MISSED HARPER LEE AS SHE DODGED, BARELY AVOIDING A CLOSE SHAVE!… HARPER LEE HURLED THE TOOLBOX AT HOLLY, SENDING HER REELING BACK INTO THE CORNER STUNNED!
Persephone: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
James Peters: Harper swiftly kicked the knives away and sprinted toward Holly, who was still concerned about her face…. AND STRUCK HER BICYCLE KNEE INTO THE SAME SPOT WHERE HOLLY HAD BEEN HIT BY THE TOOLBOX EARLIER!
Rich Russillo: She then pulled Holly out and grabbed her from behind… RIPCORD BICYCLE KICK BRINGING HER DOWN TO BOTH KNEES! MOVING FROM ONE AND ANOTHER, HARPER MANEUVERED HOLLY TOWARDS THE TOOLBOX LYING ON THE GROUND… SNAP DDT ON THE TOOLBOX!
James Peters: That was quite a moment that left the crowd spellbound, but the show must go on. Harper Lee is far from finished too. She’s now outside after planting the DDT and picking up an equalizer of her own this time. She got a steel chair this time!
Rich Russillo: Folding it up and heading back inside, Harper makes her way back into the ring where Holly Arrow is starting to get back on her feet. Harper swings the chair… SMASHING HOLLY’S BACK WITH IT! Holly’s progress is brought to a screeching halt with that brutal shot… AND ANOTHER FOR GOOD MEASURE THIS TIME TO THE BACK OF HER HEAD!
Persephone: Hit her again! Please!
James Peters: You can see that Holly’s expression shows she’s gritting her teeth and bearing it. Harper drops the chair and heads outside again, hunting for more weapons to use against Holly. She grabs the toolbox once more fishing around for what she can use next in this match!
Rich Russillo: As you can tell, the steel chair doesn’t really pack enough punch to put Holly out just yet, and now Holly can be seen getting back on her feet. Harper Lee notices this and stops her action to approach… A QUICK ROUNDHOUSE KICK DECAPITATES HER!
James Peters: Harper Lee now telling the referee off as they step outside to set the table on fire! Meanwhile, She hauls Holly back up from the ground after she was floored with another kick! And-
Rich Russillo: OH MY GOD! LOOK! THE TABLE IS ALREADY SET ABLAZE!
Persephone: AHHAHAHAHHAH YESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: HARPER LEE AIMS STRAIGHT AND LOOKS TO SEND HOLLY OVER THE ROPES AND DOWN OUTSIDE THROUGH THE EXPLOSIVE TABLE-
James Peters: WAIT! HOLLY HANGS ONTO THE SAME HAND USED TO THROW HER OUT AND PULLS HER IN… THE EMPEROR’S TIME LANDS FLUSH ON HARPER LEE!!!!!!!!! HOLLY QUICKLY TARGETS HARPER, SETTING HER BACK ON BOTH FEET AND SEIZING HER! NO! NO! HOLLY IS GOING FOR THE KILL RIGHT AWAY!!!!!
(BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Rich Russillo: OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!! EXPLODER SUPLEX INTO THE EXPLOSION! HARPER IS SENT FLYING OVER THE ROPE AND DOWN THROUGH THE TABLE, AND THE EXPLOSION BLOWS THE ROOF OFF! SMOKE EVERYWHERE!
James Peters: HARPER LEE HAS JUST BEEN SENT THROUGH THE FIRST EXPLODING FLAMING TABLE OF THIS MATCH AND HER BODY IS CAUGHT IN THE FIRE! SHE’S IN A WORLD OF HURT!
Crowd: YOU SICK FUCK! YOU SICK FUCK! YOU SICK FUCK! YOU SICK FUCK!
Persephone: NO NO YOU IDIOTS THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Some officials come running in and put out the fire using fire extinguishers while Harper could be heard screaming bloody murder in pain, finding herself rolling around on the ground.)
Rich Russillo: The first table has turned the place into a scene straight out of a crime thriller, courtesy of Holly Arrow! Holly Arrow has no time to rest on her laurels; she’s back on the outside hauling Harper off the ground while she’s still not fully recovered! Holly is back, and here’s a cover! Could this be it already?
Persephone: NO NO! IT CANNOT BE! THEY AREN’T DEAD YET!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
James Peters: Not quite close! Harper Lee somehow manages to kick out of that! Wow! Given her track record, this might just be another instance where she defies the odds!
Rich Russillo: She’s been through countless extreme situations, and this one is no different. Harper Lee always finds a way to survive! Holly knows this too as she gets back on her feet, already eyeing another table, knowing Harper Lee is still kicking!
James Peters: Meanwhile, Harper Lee is still in immense pain, unable to get up before Holly DRIVES a right foot into her back, slamming her body back to the ground with force! Holly picks Harper Lee right back up and pins her against a corner… A FOREARM STRIKE ALMOST KNOCKED THE WIND OUT OF HARPER LEE!
Rich Russillo: Holly now grabs a steel chair that Harper used earlier and aims to put it in front of Harper Lee while she’s down. Holly charges back to the opposite corner and runs forward!…. A CHAIR HAS BEEN THROWN DIRECTLY INTO HER FACE, STOPPING HER IN HER TRACKS!
James Peters: HOLLY IS SENT SPINNING AND HARPER LEE LEAPS FROM BEHIND!… REVERSE FRANKENSTEINER! NAILED IT! HOLLY ARROW IS DOWN AND OUT! The second table has just been set up, Harper Lee gets Holly Arrow back to her feet under control…
Rich Russillo: OH NO! HOLLY IS ABOUT TO BE SENT FLYING, BUT SHE INSTEAD SWITCHES IT UP AND SENDS HARPER ACROSS THE ROPES! HARPER HANGS ON FOR DEAR LIFE!
Persephone: YES! DIE BITCH DIE AHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!
James Peters: SHE DOESN’T WANT TO GO THROUGH THE SECOND TABLE, BUT HOLLY CHARGES TO TAKE HER OUT ANYWAY!… HOLLY MISSES AND ENDS UP TRIPPING OVER THE ROPES DOWN ONTO THE APRON! HOLLY FALLS BUT NOT THROUGH THE TABLE YET!
Rich Russillo: SHE GETS BACK UP AND RUNS IN TO TAKE DOWN HARPER! BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE CATCHES HOLLY! SHE’S STUNNED! HARPER LEE GOES BACK INTO THE RING, BUT WHY NOT TAKE HOLLY OUT FIRST?
James Peters: WAIT HARPER RUNS TOWARDS THE ROPES AND REBOUNDS! NO WAY!!!!!!!!
(BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Rich Russillo: SLINGSHOT SPEAR SENDING BOTH WOMEN THROUGH THE SECOND EXPLODING FLAMING TABLE IN THIS MATCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HARPER TAKES A HIGH RISK AND DRAGS HOLLY WITH HER! HOLY SHIT, I NEVER KNEW HARPER WOULD EVER GO TO SUCH LENGTHS TO COME THIS FAR!
Persephone: DID THEY DIE???? PLEASE TELL ME THEY DID!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(The fire extinguisher has been used for the second time as soon as both women were put through the table to douse the flames. However, both are completely laid out, and there might be no coming back from this. To put it simply, this match might be over right here.)
Rich Russillo: That was quite a move from Harper Lee, one I didn’t see coming. From what we’re watching now, this might be the end of the road for both women!
James Peters: Oh, hang on, look! Harper is starting to stir, and they’re checking on Holly, who might have had the wind knocked out of her from this match! Harper Lee sees this and shows a sinister smile, watching Holly suffer.
Rich Russillo: Holly is finally coming to and manages to sit up a bit. She focuses on getting back into the ring, but that doesn’t make things any better. Meanwhile, Harper stands and reaches for her toolbox to get a new toy to spice things up!
(Harper could be seen picking up a small clear plastic bag, from which something was pouring out onto the canvas.)
Persephone: YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Rich Russillo: NAILS have been laid out! Normally, thumbtacks would be what come out of this situation, but instead, just picked up from the toolbox, when there’s a hammer, there are nails!
James Peters: Holly only has had her eye on Harper as Harper heads down to pick her up here, possibly planning to unleash Ragnarok, a move she’s failed to pull off before earlier. She looks like she’s going to slam Holly onto those nails!!!
Persephone: WAIT SHE GOT SOMETHING IN HER HAND!
(STAB!)
Persephone: HVEYGUIJHNBGE{JNGJ{O BUOMG #IUN#HJVNOPEHJFIPNBV HYU#WJFIEHPOFIEB:FUIONBWJWHJEV:OBPIFEBUVFINH
James Peters: OH NO!
Rich Russillo: HOLLY WITH THAT SAME SCREWDRIVER SHE PICKED UP EARLIER! JUST DROVE THE SCREWDRIVER FULL FORCE INTO THE SHOULDER OF HARPER LEE THE MOMENT HARPER TRIED TO SEIZE HER FOR RAGNAROK!
James Peters: HARPER IS FORCED TO LET GO AS SHE CLUTCHES HER SHOULDER, WHILE HOLLY QUICKLY SEIZES THE MOMENT AND MAKES HARPER PAY… HOLLY HITS THE BRAINBUSTER AND BOTH WOMEN LAND ON THOSE NAILS!
(Harper takes the brunt of the damage as she cries in pain, feeling her back and trying to immediately rip out nails from her skin. Holly on the other hand is equally hurt by it, but it does not deter her whatsoever.)
Persephone: Hey maybe these two aren’t as bad as I thought they were!
Rich Russillo: Both women have been going at it tooth and nail. No puns intended indeed! It’s far from over. As long as they keep duking it out, this match won’t end unless one of them sends the other crashing through the Exploding Flaming Table!
James Peters: Surely it’s been an intense match, with both women repeatedly trying to harm each other. Holly Arrow is now pulling herself together, while Harper Lee rolls outside and appears to be secretly trying to set one of those tables on fire!
Rich Russillo: Holly catches Harper off guard and heads out to pick on her, sending her crashing into the ring post! Harper manages to get away and ends up leaning by our commentary table! Guys, look out, this one could easily catch us in the crossfire!
Persephone: Tell them to fuck off then.
James Peters: BUT HOLLY IS QUICK TO LUNGE FORWARD AND NAIL HER WITH A STRIKE TO THE FACE! HARPER IS TRYING TO FIGHT BACK BUT HOLLY IS QUICK TO CONNECT WITH A PALM STRIKE TO FOLLOW THAT UP, KNOCKING THE TEETH DOWN HER THROAT! Holly now repositions Harper Lee after going for the jugular and ramming her stomach into the sharp edge of the commentary table causing Harper to drop like a stone!
Rich Russillo: Some serious damage has been done so far in this match, but it’s far from curtains between Harper Lee and Holly Arrow. Holly is still standing and grabs the screwdriver that was recently driven into Harper’s shoulder to escape from Ragnarok. She strides over and hauls Harper up from the ground by her hair. I don’t know what she has in mind here-
James Peters: OH! OH! OH GOD! HOLLY KEEPS USING THAT SAME SCREWDRIVER, GOING TO TOWN ON HARPER’S HEAD OVER AND OVER! BLOOD IS STARTING TO POUR DOWN HER HEAD LIKE A FAUCET!
Rich Russillo: AH! NOT IN FRONT OF US LIKE THIS! IS THIS EVEN ON THE UP AND UP?! AREN’T WE SUPPOSED TO BE BACKED BY A DISNEY SHOW???
Persephone: WELL GUESS WHAT!??!?!?!?? I ALLOW THIS MOTHERFUCKER! LETS FUCKING GO WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
James Peters: HOLLY’S NOT DONE YET, TOSSING THE SCREWDRIVER ASIDE AND REPEATEDLY SLAMMING HARPER’S HEAD ONTO THE TOP OF THE COMMENTARY TABLE! AGAIN! AND AGAIN! AND AGAIN, BEFORE USING HER FACE LIKE A MOP, TURNING OUR COMMENTARY TABLE WHOLE SURFACE INTO A BLOODY RED CARPET!
Rich Russillo: Harper Lee’s face was as red as a beet, and I’m not talking about embarrassment, but about the fallout from their confrontation! Red here means BLOOD streaming from Harper’s head!
Persephone: Blessed up with this amazing piece of art!
James Peters: Holly stands tall over Harper and gives her a strike that could knock a statue over, sending Harper sprawling! Holly immediately hauls Harper off the ground and hurls her into the steel steps! Harper has been battered again and again, but knowing her, she will eventually turn the tables at some point during the match.
Rich Russillo: Holly Arrow is eyeing one of the tables, but without a lighter, she might be up a creek without a paddle. Meanwhile, Harper Lee finds a lighter and struggles to get back on her feet as quickly as possible. Holly now pulls out an equalizer from under the ring— OH LOOK! A SLEDGEHAMMER! WHAT?! IS SHE PLANNING TO MAKE HARPER’S SITUATION EVEN WORSE??!?!?
James Peters: Harper Lee was already in dire straits barely managing to stay on her feet even with a lighter in her hand!… HOLLY STRIDES DOWN AS SHE POISED TO TAKE A SWING AT THE BACK OF HER HEAD! OH NO!
Rich Russillo: HARPER LEE DODGES, CAUSING HOLLY TO HIT THE RING’S APRON INSTEAD! HOLLY STILL GRIPS THE SLEDGEHAMMER AND CHARGES AT HARPER—HARPER RESPONDS WITH A STEP UP ENZUIGIRI CAUSING HOLLY TO STUMBLE WHILE STILL CLUTCHING THE SLEDGEHAMMER!
James Peters: NOW SNATCHES IT AWAY FROM HER HANDS AND SLAMS IT INTO HOLLY’S GUT! HARPER WITH A QUICK MOVE!!!!
Persephone: NOT AGAIN!!!!
Rich Russillo: ACTING SWIFTLY, SHE USES THE HANDLE TO CHOKE HOLLY OUT!!!! HOLLY IS CAUGHT BETWEEN A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE! HARPER LEE IS NOW SLOWING THINGS DOWN MAKING SURE HOLLY’S SITUATION GOES FROM BAD TO WORSE!
James Peters: Releasing her grip, Harper sends Holly back into the ring while still clutching the sledgehammer. Harper follows her in sensing an opportunity. She drops the equalizer and dashes towards the ropes… SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT INCOMING— OHHHHHHH! :damn:
Persephone: :damn:
Rich Russillo: :damn: WHAT A TURN OF EVENTS! HOLLY ARROW WITH IMPECCABLE TIMING THROWS THE SLEDGEHAMMER NAILING HARPER MID-AIR AND HITTING HER SQUARE IN THE JAW!
James Peters: She might not have enough prowess to stand tall on both feet, but that’s enough to keep Holly in the game!
Rich Russillo: Harper is down on the ground, clutching her jaw in pain, while Holly spots the lighter that Harper dropped on the apron earlier. Holly crawls over and quickly snatches it back! What’s her game plan here? I think I can guess what she’s about to pull off!
James Peters: THE SLEDGEHAMMER IS SET ON FIRE! HARPER LEE BARELY MANAGES TO GET ON BOTH KNEES, BUT SHE’S ALREADY IN HOT WATER! HOLLY TAKES AIM, READY TO TAKE HARPER’S HEAD OFF WITH THAT FLAMING SLEDGEHAMMER!
Persephone: THIS IS TOO FUCKING GOOD!
Rich Russillo: NO! HARPER DUCKS AND SPINS AROUND TO NAIL HOLLY WITH A BICYCLE KICK—
James Peters: MISSES AND GETS CAUGHT! HOLLY DRIVES THE FLAMING SLEDGEHAMMER INTO HER GUT CAUSING HARPER LEE TO COLLAPSE TO THE GROUND INSTANTLY!
Rich Russillo: FAR FROM OVER! HARPER HAS ALREADY BEEN KNOCKED TO THE GROUND, BUT HOLLY MAKES A QUICK MOVE- OH MY GOD! NOT LIKE THIS! SHE PRESSES THAT BURNING STEEL PART OF THE HAMMER AGAINST HARPER’S FACE AS IF TRYING TO LEAVE HER MARK!
James Peters: HARPER IS DEFENSELESS AND COMPLETELY AT HOLLY’S MERCY! HOLLY HAS TAKEN AN UNEXPECTED TURN THAT CAUGHT US ALL OFF GUARD!
Persephone: OH MY GOD SHE IS GOING TO GET BURNED ALIVE LTOEJGWEGNBIJEGJNOI#B{GIO@N#BG:#HGNIOV@U BGIJN
James Peters: HOLLY TAKES THE SLEDGEHAMMER OFF HARPER’S FACE, AND HARPER IMMEDIATELY ROLLS OUT OF THE RING, WRITHING IN IMMENSE PAIN FROM THE SLEDGEHAMMER’S BRUTAL BRANDING!
Rich Russillo: SHE CAN BARELY SEE ANYTHING, BUT NONE OF THAT MATTERS TO HOLLY RIGHT NOW! HOLLY TOSSES THE SLEDGEHAMMER ASIDE AND SEIZES HARPER, USING THE BOTTOM ROPE TO CHOKE HER OUT WHILE STANDING BESIDE THE RING!
James Peters: HOLLY USES HER RIGHT FOOT TO PRESS AGAINST THE BACK OF HARPER’S NECK WHILE PULLING BACK THE ROPE. SHE MAY HAVE LOST HER MARBLES AT THIS POINT, THE MORE WE WITNESS HER ACTIONS HERE!
Rich Russillo: On the outside, Harper Lee is coughing and still in immense pain from her battered face and worn-out body that’s been through the wringer. Holly leaves the ring, looking for the lighter she dropped earlier, but it seems like it’s vanished into thin air. Holly now needs to find a replacement. Harper is being tended to by the referee, but she pushes away, determined to inflict more pain on Holly. Holly can’t waste any time here and now. She grabs a Kendo Stick, snaps it in half, and heads back into the ring to find Harper-
James Peters: HARPER IS SUDDENLY BACK ON HER FEET AND GRABS HOLLY BEFORE SHE CAN DO ANY DAMAGE, HITTING HER WITH A HANGMAN’S FACEBREAKER ONTO HER RIGHT KNEE!
Rich Russillo: SHE HOLDS ON TO HOLLY…. TRANSITIONING INTO AN EXPLODER SUPLEX SENDING HOLLY ARROW CRASHING INTO THE TURNBUCKLES!
(As soon as the Exploder Suplex hits its mark, Harper Lee turns back to talk to the referee.)
Harper Lee: (Off-Mic) Get the third table ready! Hurry up!
Persephone: Shut the fuck up and kill her already. We don’t want to hear you.
James Peters: Ref is now outside the ring now making Harper Lee’s intentions crystal clear—she’s aiming to end this match soon! Holly Arrow is down and unlikely to get up anytime soon.
Rich Russillo: They are searching for a lighter to set the table ablaze Harper Lee has Holly Arrow back under her thumb—BUT HOLLY SUDDENLY TOSSES HARPER OVER THE ROPES, NEARLY HITTING THE REFEREE WHO’S TRYING TO SET THE TABLE UP!
Persephone: YEAH HURRY UP REF! YOU ARE DOING A TERRIBLE JOB! SET THIS SHIT ON FIRE! I NEED TO SEE SOME PRECISION BOMBING!!!!!!
Harper Lee: (Off-Mic) Watch where you going! You almost hit me!
Referee: (Off-Mic) I’m just doing my job. :wtf:
Harper Lee: (Off-Mic) You suck at your job-
Rich Russillo: WOAH LOOK OUT HARPER!
James Peters: HOLLY TACKLES HARPER LEE OFF THE APRON, SENDING HER CRASHING THROUGH THE EXPLODING FLAMING TABLE AND CAUSING AN EXPLOSION!
Persephone: SHE’S DONE FOR! BURN BABY BURN! GAHAHAHAGHHAHAHAHAHAGHAHAH
Rich Russillo: NO! SHE DOESN’T! HARPER MANAGES TO DUCK OUT OF THE WAY, KNOCKING HOLLY BACK INTO THE RING WITH A BICYCLE KNEE THAT HITS HER RIGHT IN THE SIDE OF THE HEAD SENDING HOLLY FLYING BACK TO THE CENTER OF THE RING!
James Peters: HARPER IS NOW REACHING FOR THE SKIES, HEADING TO THE TOP! SHE MAY BE LOOKING TO PULL OUT ALL THE STOPS WITH AN AERIAL MANEUVER HERE!…
Rich Russillo: WHAT?!??!!? HOW THE HELL DID HOLLY BOUNCE BACK FROM THE PAIN SO QUICKLY? HOLLY RACES TO THE TOP AND HAS HARPER RIGHT WHERE SHE WANTS HER!… AVALANCHE HALF AND HALF SUPLEX TAKING HARPER DOWN FROM THE TOP!
James Peters: AT THIS POINT, HOLLY IS ALREADY GETTING USED TO THE PAIN SHE’S ENDURED IN THIS MATCH! HARPER LEE HAS BEEN TAKEN DOWN THIS TIME, AND HOLLY ARROW IS BACK IN THE DRIVER’S SEAT!
Rich Russillo: THEY JUST FOUND THE LIGHTER, AND HOLLY QUICKLY GRABS IT TO DRAG HARPER OUT—THEY MIGHT BE LOOKING TO PUT HARPER OUT OF EQUATION FOR GOOD! IT’S OVER FOR HARPER LEE! THE TABLE HAS BEEN SET ABLAZE, AND HOLLY IS READY TO TOSS HER OUT!
Persephone: DO IT! DO IT! ONE MORE FOR THE PERSEPHONE!
James Peters: JUST AS YOU MENTIONED, HARPER LEE IS TRYING TO LAND SOME ELBOW SHOTS, NOT LETTING HOLLY ARROW TAKE OVER THIS MATCH WITHOUT A FIGHT! HARPER LEE IS DIGGING DEEP, STOPPING HOLLY FROM SENDING HER ACROSS THE ROPES!
Rich Russillo: HOLLY’S EFFORTS KEEP PUSHING HER TO THE LIMIT! HARPER FINALLY KICKS THE ROPES, USING THEM TO MUSTER HER WILLPOWER, AND KNOCKS HOLLY BACK INTO THE RING WITH A SHARP ELBOW!
James Peters: SWITCHING POSITIONS, HARPER TOSSES HOLLY OVER THE ROPES, PUTTING HOLLY IN A PRECARIOUS SPOT! SHE’S ON THE VERGE OF DYING!
Persephone: DYING YOU SAY???? WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOGOGOGOGOOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGO
Rich Russillo: HARPER COULD SEAL THE DEAL FOR HOLLY RIGHT HERE! HARPER CHARGES BACK AND RETURNS TO HOLLY, LOOKING TO SEND HER FLYING OFF THE APRON THIS TIME! BICYCLE KICK KNOCKS HOLLY OFF-
James Peters: A FOREARM STRIKE HIT HARPER RIGHT ON THE BUTTON AS SHE CHARGED IN FOR THE ATTACK! HOLLY MANAGES TO THINK ON HER FEET, DRAGGING HARPER DOWN WITH HER ONTO THE APRON!
Rich Russillo: NOW, BOTH ARE EXCHANGING BLOWS DOWN THERE! FOREARM FROM HOLLY! FOREARM FROM HARPER! IT’S BACK AND FORTH—HARPER! HOLLY! THEY’RE THROWING FISTS AND LETTING THEIR EMOTIONS RUN WILD!
Persephone: COME ON! THE TABLE IS JUST RIGHT THERE! NEED TO SEE THEM EXPLODE TO PIECES!!!!!!!!!!!!!
James Peters: HARPER KNOWS SHE CAN’T LET THIS DRAG ON! SHE DELIVERS A SWIFT KICK TO HOLLY’S GUT, HALTING HER ASSAULT AND SEIZING THE MOMENT! GRABBING HOLLY SHE’S NOW AIMING TO SEND HER CRASHING THROUGH THAT TABLE!
(BANG!)
Rich Russillo: VICTORIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! VICTORIA KNEE STRIKE CAUGHT HARPER OFF GUARD ON THE APRON! HOLLY JUST NAILED HARPER WITH THE VERY MOVE SHE BORROWED FROM MINERVA’S HUSBAND AT GRAND RAMPAGE! HARPER LEE IS SEEING STARS, AND HOLLY IS ON SPAGHETTI LEGS!
James Peters: BOTH EQUALLY IN DIRE STRAITS! HOLLY WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO THE SIDE OF HARPER’S HEAD FOR GOOD MEASURE BUT IT ONLY GOT HARPER TO COLLAPSE ONTO THE APRON AND THE CROWD GOES MILD! THEY ARE UNHAPPY!
Rich Russillo: Holly watched the outcome unfold clearly dismayed with the recent events. She decided to give it another shot, this time on the apron, attempting to hoist Harper up from the ground. The flames were still raging waiting for a body to be thrown down, but only one of them had to weather that inferno!
James Peters: Holly finally got her hands on Harper Lee again, lifting her onto her shoulders, and PREPARING TO SEND HER DOWN TO THE OUTSIDE! THE CROWD WATCHED IN ANTICIPATION WONDERING IF THIS WOULD BE THE END FOR BOTH WOMEN!
Rich Russillo: SHE STRUGGLED AND DETERMINED NOT TO LOSE THE MATCH LIKE THIS AND DEMANDED TO DEFEAT HOLLY ARROW! SHAKING HERSELF OFF HOLLY’S SHOULDERS, SHE MANAGED TO LAND SAFELY ON THE APRON!… DRAGON FIST!!!!!
James Peters: HOLLY DODGED HARPER’S ATTACK AND COUNTERED WITH A SHOULDER THRUST TO STOP HER IN HER TRACKS! HOLLY TOOK A TUMBLE OFF THE APRON, LEAVING HARPER IN HOT WATER AND ABOUT TO BE THROWN DOWN!-
Persephone: YES YES! TO HELL WITH YOU!
Rich Russillo: HARPER WITH ONE LAST-DITCH EFFORT HEADBUTTED HOLLY INTO THE BOTTOM OF THE CHIN KNOCKING HER FOR A LOOP! HARPER CLUNG TO THE ROPES, HER BACK AGAINST THE TURNBUCKLES!
James Peters: SHE SEEMED READY TO MAKE A BREAK FOR IT FROM THERE! WHAT WAS HARPER THINKING?
Persephone: DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE!
Rich Russillo: HARPER LEE IS GOING FOR THE JUMPING DDT, BUT HOLLY CATCHES HER AND TOSSES HER BACK INTO THE RING INSTEAD!… ANOTHER ATTEMPT OF DRAGON FIST AND IT KNOCKS HOLLY OUT! NOOOOOO!
(BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Persephone: YES SHE’S DEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
James Peters: THROUGH THE THIRD TABLE AND SMOKE IS BILLOWING INTO THE AIR RIGHT AFTER THE EXPLOSION! OH MY GOD, LOOK! HER BODY IS ON FIRE FOLLOWING THE BLAST JUST LIKE WHAT HAPPENED TO HARPER LEE EARLIER! The referee rushes in again to extinguish the flames!
(However, that annoys Harper Lee enough to step out of the ring, shove the referee aside, and continue her relentless assault on Holly.)
Rich Russillo: Wait a minute, what’s this??? Harper just got out of the ring and snatched the fire extinguisher from the referee’s hands, now using it to assault Holly!
James Peters: She’s not giving Holly any chance to catch her breath! Harper picks Holly up and returns to the ring with the fire extinguisher in hand!
Rich Russillo: Holly Arrow is painfully getting back on her feet while Harper Lee basks in her triumph! Harper Lee is indeed a mad genius! Dousing the flame and dodging being put through the table by Holly Arrow so Holly will botch the mission in order! There’s nothing a woman like Harper Lee could do to wriggle out of the dangerous position!
James Peters: Harper is now getting Holly back into the ring and taking the fire extinguisher with her. Harper reenters the ring with Holly struggling to get up from the ground before BEING STRUCK ON THE BACK WITH THE FIRE EXTINGUISHER, HITTING HER SPINE LIKE A TON OF BRICKS! OH GOD, HARPER HAS LOST HER MARBLES!
Persephone: MORE! MORE! I NEED MORE! MOREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: HARPER REPEATEDLY STOMPS ON THE FIRE EXTINGUISHER, PRESSING IT INTO HOLLY’S SPINE OVER AND OVER AGAIN, CAUSING MAJOR DAMAGE!
James Peters: HOLLY MIGHT NEVER BE ABLE TO WALK AGAIN IF THIS CONTINUES! HER BACK HAS BEEN TORN TO SHREDS!
Rich Russillo: NOW HARPER PICKS UP THE FIRE EXTINGUISHER ONE LAST TIME… DROPPING IT HARD RIGHT ON TOP OF HOLLY’S NECK COMPLETELY TAKING HER OUT! GOSH!…..
Persephone: AMAZING!
(Holly has been knocked out cold, blood trickling from the back of her head while Harper Lee watches with a sinister scowl, her rage and fury palpable against her former tag team partner. Harper wipes the blood from the back of Holly’s head and kneels, watching Holly wallow in her own misery.)
Harper Lee: (Off-Mic) Tonight is going to be the last time we ever see you… and I’M THRILLED ABOUT IT!
Persephone: ME TOO!
James Peters: HARPER NOW GRABBING HOLLY’S HEAD BACK AGAIN AND SLAMMING IT AGAINST THE RING CANVAS ON REPEAT!
Rich Russillo: SLAMMING OVER AND OVER, HOLLY MAY AS WELL SUFFER AMNESIA GOING OUT OF THIS MATCH THE MORE HARPER POUNDS THAT SKULL UNTIL IT SHATTERS! HARPER MADE THE PROMISE CLEAR AND IT’S COMING SOONER FOR HOLLY TO MEET HER DEMISE!
James Peters: Harper is now looking for another way to inflict more serious damage on Holly. It seems she’s heading outside and instructing the referee to fold up the explosive table and bring it into the ring for her!
(Harper points to another unused table nearby and aggressively orders the referee to bring it over, indicating where she wants it placed.)
Rich Russillo: The referee is carefully handling the table to avoid triggering the explosives set within it, sliding it back into the ring along with the lighter to ignite it.
James Peters: Harper is keeping a close eye on Holly while the table is finally set and the fire is ready to go!
Persephone: Look at that, the flames are back! AH YESSIRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!
James Peters: The table is set up near Holly, and Harper Lee is climbing to the top! But Holly isn’t even on the table—what is Harper Lee planning? HOLLY IS ALMOST BACK ON HER FEET IN FRONT OF THE TABLE!
Rich Russillo: HARPER IS LOOKING TO LAUNCH HERSELF OFF THE TOP! OH MY, SHE HITS THE DIVING DOUBLE FOOT STOMP ON STANDING HOLLY SENDING HER THROUGH THE TABLE!
(CLANK!)
Persephone: BOOM HEADSHOT!
James Peters: OHHHHH! HOLLY USING HER LAST OUNCE OF ENERGY, CLUTCHES FOR THE NEARBY STEEL CHAIR AND HURLS IT RIGHT AT HARPER LEE’S FACE WHILE SHE STANDS IN THE TOP CORNER CAUSING HARPER TO TOPPLE DOWN AND LIE SPRAWLED UP THERE!
Rich Russillo: HOLLY’S CHANCE TO RECLAIM HER TOP SPOT IS RIGHT HERE, BUT SHE’S EXTREMELY HURT! IT’S A STRUGGLE FOR HOLLY TO EVEN STAND ON BOTH FEET RIGHT NOW!
James Peters: SHE HEADS TO THE TOP! POSSIBLY LOOKING TO EXECUTE ANOTHER AVALANCHE MANEUVER THOUGH THE TABLE! THERE’S NO WAY SHE’S ABOUT TO PULL THIS OFF! THIS IS GOING TO BE DISASTROUS!!!!!!!!….
(BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
James Peters: HOLLY ARROW WITH THE TIGER SUPLEX JUST DROVE HARPER LEE THROUGH THE EXPLODING FLAMING TABLE!
Persephone: HOLY SHIT, THE TABLE JUST BLEW UP IN THE RING!
Crowd: HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!
Rich Russillo: THESE TWO TRULY HAVE AN INSANE DYNAMIC IN THE RING GOING HEAD-TO-HEAD! THE EXPLODING FLAMING TABLES MATCH IS SETTING A NEW STANDARD FOR THEM! AND LOOK! HOLLY COVERS!
James Peters: IT MIGHT BE OVER HERE! THIS IS IT! HOLLY IS ABOUT TO COMPLETE HER REDEMPTION ARC!
Persephone: NO KEEP GOING! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(….)
Rich Russillo: WHAT???? WHAT??????
Persephone: YES! NOT UNTIL SOMEONE DIES! WE CAN’T STOP THIS MATCH YET!
James Peters: HARPER LEE JUST BARELY MOVED HER SHOULDER TO BREAK UP THE COUNT! HOLLY ARROW IS FLABBERGASTED AND FURIOUS AT HOW UNBELIEVABLE THIS IS!
Rich Russillo: SHE CAN BARELY MOVE AT THIS POINT HOLLY IS ALREADY LEADING HERSELF THROUGH THE PAIN!
James Peters: HOLLY IS HEADING UP TO THE TOP ROPE IMMEDIATELY, LOOKING TO PUT AN END TO THIS RIGHT HERE ON THE BIGGEST STAGE OF THEM ALL! HOLLY IS ABOUT TO REDEEM HERSELF! HARPER DOESN’T STAND A CHANCE!
Rich Russillo: ## GALAXY DIVIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ##
( ..……. )
Rich Russillo: ## DRAGON FIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ##
James Peters: HARPER JUST GATHERED ALL HER STRENGTH AND HIT A RIGHT HOOK DROPPING HOLLY IN MID-AIR! HARPER QUICKLY SPOTS SOME REMAINING NAILS USED EARLIER IN THE MATCH AND SHOVES THEM NEARBY! SHE GRABS HOLLY WHILE SHE HAS A CHANCE AND DRAGS HER CLOSE TO THOSE NAILS ON THE GROUND!…. **SLEEPING ON THE FLOOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!**
Rich Russillo: YES SHE DOES IT-
James Peters: NO, NO! THIS IS SOMETHING ELSE! HARPER LEE IS STILL GOING, DRIVING HOLLY’S FACE INTO THOSE NAILS! STOMP! STOMP! REPEATED “SLEEPING ON THE FLOOR” STOMPS INTO THE NAILS!
Persephone: YES PLEASE KEEP GOING UNTIL SKULL LEGIT TURN INTO PIECES!
Rich Russillo: HOLLY DEFINITELY WON’T BE COMING BACK FROM THIS! THIS IS JUST **ONE OF THOSE NIGHTS!**
(The crowd boos loudly while Harper Lee keeps going. She’s still stomping on Holly over and over, but there’s no sign of life from Holly. Holly is clearly out, and the referee has to step in to stop Harper Lee.)
James Peters: This is absolutely… wrong.
Rich Russillo: NOT FOR HARPER! THE REFEREE LOOKS IN DISMAY ABOUT THIS BUT SHE IS QUICK TO STOP ONCE SHE FEELS SATISFIED! AND NOW HARPER IS HOOKING THE LEG AND THE CROWD HERE IN ORLANDO TONIGHT IS ABSOLUTELY LIVID ABOUT THIS! NOT LIKE THIS!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
(DING DING DING!)
Bella Braxton: HERE IS YOUR WINNER!… HARPER LEE!
Rich Russillo: Ah man, this was a must-win match for Holly! This is just absolutely wrong!
James Peters: It hasn’t been a great night for Holly Arrow, especially knowing that all her efforts to put an end to Harper Lee have gone in vain.
Rich Russillo: Despite her hard work, Harper emerged victorious and finally put an end to all the troubles between them. Holly made many promises, but they were all shattered when Harper dominated the match.
Persephone: She’s a fucking fraud man. Harper Lee still sucks also.
(The crowd watches in silence as the medical team rushes to check on Holly and take her away for aid. ‘Sweet Dreams’ by Eurythmics (with Annie Lennox & Dave Stewart) plays in the background, showing Harper Lee celebrating her victory in a bloody fashion and watching her former tag team partner being carried away. The final shot displays Harper Lee standing tall in the center of the ring, celebrating before Pain for Pride Kingdom fades into a commercial break.)

(The camera shot returns to the ring where Stephie Love is standing ready to begin the introductions for the next contest.)
Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen, this next contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
(The crowd goes silent for a moment that you could hear a pin drop before ‘2024’ by Playboi Carti starts to play as Joso enters the arena to cheers from the crowd. He is more than ready for this match as he heads right to the ring! )
Stephie Love: Introducing first and making his way to the ring! From The Bronx, New York! Weighing 206 pounds. Here is the 2024 KING OF ELITE! “THE NEW ERA” JOOOOOOOOOSSSOOOOOOOOO!
Stew-O: If there is any one competitor who could be known for being the spearhead of the New Era movement, there’s no better choice than the King of Elite, Joso!
Jake Mercer: Joso is good and no doubt a future World Champion, but I am still wondering if calling out somebody like Impact was a very wise move. I mean out of any Hall of Famer, why go and pick a fight with him?
Flannery McCoy: Joso isn’t known to back away from a fight and he might be face to face in a moment with the biggest fight of his career. If Joso doesn’t miss, neither does his opponent.
(Joso enters the ring and takes his corner as he locks eyes with the entrance knowing who is about to arrive and he wants nothing more than to tear him apart. Joso’s entrance music fades as the arena goes completely silent….
(Before the piano key to “Still D.R.E.” hits and nobody emerges from behind the curtain for a moment as the titantron denotes in bold text various accomplishments Karl Impact has notched over the years alongside the video of the events as the piano version continues. After about a minute, the piano version of “Still D.R.E.” cuts into the original song by Dr. Dre featuring Snoop Doog from its start as emerald green strobe lights affix the emerging Karl Impact, simultaneous with his pyro, as he makes his calculated saunter down the ramp with over fifteen years and ten EAW World Championships behind his every step.)
Stephie Love: Introducing his opponent! Residing in Seattle, Washington! Weighing 228 pounds. Here is EAW HALL OF FAMER! “THE QUINTESSENTIAL CHAMPION” IMMMMMMMPAAAAAAAAAACT!
Jake Mercer: HERE COMES THE LEGEND! The Legendary Impact is back again and ready to take Joso to school. He holds the record for World Title Reigns and his legendary run in Elite Answers Wrestling includes his Pain for Pride debut being at the ORIGINAL Pain for Pride. Joso better be careful.
Flannery McCoy: Very few have done and even fewer have a resume that gets close to Impact’s. He is a former TEN TIME World Champion here in EAW. From my research, I believe that the only two competitors who have had the honor of competing at every Pain for Pride event are maybe the two biggest EAW Legends: Impact and Methuselah.
Stew-O: Impact wants to show that he’s still got it and that he still possesses the skills that made him the legendary competitor that he is. Joso wants to show the world that his time is now and that nobody can change that. Which Elitist will leave victorious? We’re about to find out!
(Impact enters the ring and takes his corner before locking eyes with Joso as his entrance music fades off. Joso is all business as is Impact, but Impact has a smirk on his face as the referee quickly checks both competitors before calling for the bell.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stew-O: Here we go and this rivalry has been building up for quite some time and if this match goes the way that I think it’s gonna go, this won’t be a technical masterpiece, this is going to be a knockdown dragout fight.
Jake Mercer: This is going to be hard to decide who I want to win. Joso don’t miss, but Impact is IMPACT! You can never root against a legend of Impact’s caliber.
Flannery McCoy: These two men come face to face in the middle of the ring and these two are just talking trash to each other–
Stew-O: IMPACT JUST SLAPPED JOSO RIGHT ACROSS THE FACE! THE LEGEND SHOWING NO RESPECT OR NO INTIMIDATION BY THE LEADER OF THE NEW ERA!
Flannery McCoy: JOSO DIDN’T LIKE THAT ONE BIT AND HE COMES BACK WITH A STRAIGHT RIGHT HAND TO THE TEMPLE! Damn, that was a straight punch to the head.
Jake Mercer: Impact… IS SMILING! Impact has done it all, so he isn’t going to lose his cool over one punch AS IMPACT COMES BACK WITH A LEFT HAND OF HIS OWN AND IMPACT’S PUNCHES MIGHT HAVE MORE STING!
Stew-O: Joso gets right back in Impact’s face daring him to punch him again, BUT IMPACT COMES BACK WITH ANOTHER SLAP–
Jake Mercer: THAT JOSO BLOCKS AND COUNTERS WITH A SLAP OF HIS OWN! HOLY CRAP DID YOU HEAR THAT SLAP! JOSO WITH DISRESPECT OF HIS OWN!
Flannery McCoy: Impact looks right back at Joso AND WE CAN SEE THAT THERE IS ALREADY A HANDPRINT FORMING ON IMPACT’S CHEEK! THAT IS NOT GOING TO SIT WELL WITH IMPACT!
Stew-O: The men get face to face one again in the middle of the ring AND WE HAVE A FIST FIGHT GOING ON IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING! PUNCHES ARE FLYING LIKE THEY WERE A FEW WEEKS AGO DURING THAT SIX MAN TAG ON DYNASTY!
Jake Mercer: The referee is going to have a hell of a time trying to keep this match in order especially with two men who HATE each other, so there’s no doubt the referee is going to allow a little bit of leeway in this match considering it’s Pain for Pride.
Flannery McCoy: These two are just hauling off and beating the hell out of each other until Impact backs Joso up into the corner and the referee is asking for a clean break.
Stew-O: In the biggest shocker of the match, we get a clean break UNTIL IMPACT HAULS OFF A FIRES A KNIFE EDGED CHOP ACROSS JOSO’S CHEST! THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN LOUDER THAN THE FACE SLAP JOSO GAVE EARLIER!
Flannery McCoy: It very well could be and this is not the position Joso needs to be in right now as Joso is certainly feeling the effects of that chop AS IMPACT GOES FOR ANOTHER ONE–
Jake Mercer: JOSO DUCKS OUT OF THE WAY! Joso is behind Impact and has a waistlock applied AS HE TRIES FOR A GERMAN SUPLEX BUT IMPACT IS THROWING ELBOWS INTO JOSO’S HEAD!
Stew-O: Joso releases the hold and holds the side of his head after all those elbows to the skull. Impact turns around with a boot to the gut before applying a facelock of his own BEFORE TAKING HIM UP AND OVER WITH THE SUPLEX!
Jake Mercer: Joso immediately tries to get back to his feet, BUT IMPACT IS THERE DELIVERING BOOTS TO JOSO AND IT FORCES JOSO TO ROLL OUT TO THE APRON!
Flannery McCoy: Joso gets back to his feet, BUT IMPACT GRABS HOLD OF JOSO’S HEAD AND RUNS HIM TO THE CORNER TO BASH HIS HEAD AGAINST THE RINGPOST, BUT JOSO GETS HIS BOOT UP TO BLOCK THE SHOT–
Stew-O: JOSO WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO THE SIDE OF IMPACT’S HEAD! Impact lets go of Joso and Joso is climbing his way up to the top turnbuckle. Joso find his balance–
Jake Mercer: IMPACT WITH A LEG SWEEP THAT TOOK JOSO’S LEG OUT FROM UNDER HIM AND JOSO HAS AN UGLY LANDING ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE!
Flannery McCoy: That’s a nice way of putting it, but Impact is not climbing up onto the top turnbuckle. He is just looking at Joso as Joso is trying to recover–
Stew-O: IMPACT WITH ANOTHER SLAP TO THE FACE! THE FORCE OF THE SLAP KNOCKS JOSO OFF THE TOP TURNBUCKLE AND RIGHT TO THE FLOOR!
(THUD!)
Flannery McCoy: OH MY GAWD! JOSO WENT FACE FIRST ONTO THE RING STEPS! Joso could have broken his nose after hitting the ring steps and he is holding his face in pain as Impact is looking from the ring with a pleased smirk on his face.
Jake Mercer: Impact leaves the ring and goes to pick Joso up from the floor. Impact hoists Joso onto his shoulders as he is looking to use Joso as a javelin to go to the ringpost again–
Stew-O: JOSO SLIDES OFF IMPACT’S SHOULDER! Joso with a dropkick AND IMPACT GOES KNEES FIRST INTO THE STEPS BEFORE FALLING UP AND OVER THE RING STEPS!
Jake Mercer: Impact is in front of us trying to shake the damage that his knees took off that shot as Joso slides back into the ring to break the referee’s current count.
Flannery McCoy: Now Joso is eyeing Impact as he is trying to get back to his feet, but Joso is starting to build up a head of steam as he hits the ropes on the far side of the ring before heading full speed back to the other side—
Stew-O: JOSO DIVES THROUGH THE ROPES AND HITS A SUICIDE DIVE THAT TAKES THE HALL OF FAMER BACK DOWN TO THE MAT! Joso manages to land on his feet as he takes a brief second to absorb the cheers coming from the Orlando crowd here enjoying Pain for Pride.
Jake Mercer: Joso has been waiting for this match for a very long time. He has been wanting to show Impact that he does belong and that he is a worthy competitor.
Flannery McCoy: Meanwhile, the referee has a count going on and nobody wants to see this match end in a countout so Joso pulls Impact back on his feet before rolling him back into the ring.
Stew-O: Joso quickly follows suit as Impact once again tries to get back to his feet as Joso hits the ropes AND TAKES IMPACT DOWN WITH THE SLINGBLADE! Not only that, he goes to the ropes and jumps onto the second ropes–
Flannery McCoy: AND JOSO HITS A BEAUTIFUL SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT! DIRECT HIT BY THE KING OF ELITE AS HE HOOKS THE LEG FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWW—
Jake Mercer: IMPACT KICKS OUT AT ONE! Joso doesn’t waste a second AS HE STARTS THROWING LEFTS AND RIGHTS INTO THE SKULL OF THE HALL OF FAMER!
Stew-O: The punches don’t last very long for him as the referee is telling Joso to open up the fists which Joso is ignoring and the referee is left with no choice but to start a count.
Jake Mercer: The King of Elite stops the punches on four because he would have been disqualified on five. Joso pulls Impact back to his feet and has him in a powerbomb—
Flannery McCoy: Joso isn’t going for a powerbomb. JOSO IS GOING FOR A SPIKE PILEDRIVER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING! JOSO LIFTS IMPACT UP IN THE AIR–
Stew-O: IMPACT IS BLOCKING IT! Joso puts Impact down and is throwing forearms into the middle of his spine before he tries for the spike piledriver once more.
Jake Mercer: IMPACT HOLDS HIS GROUND AND COUNTERS THE PILEDRIVER WITH A BACK BODY DROP AND JOSO HITS THE MAT HARD! Joso almost landed on his head there.
Flannery McCoy: BUT IMPACT FOLLOWS UP WITH A KICK TO THE SPINE! THERE HAD TO BE A NUMBING EFFECT BECAUSE JOSO COULDN’T MOVE AFTER THAT KICK!
Stew-O: Just like that, Impact gets the advantage in this match as he grabs Joso and brings him back to his feet. Impact tries to fire off a forearm–
Flannery McCoy: JOSO BLOCKS THE FOREARM, BUT IT WAS A DECOY AS IMPACT COMES BACK WITH A HEADBUTT TO THE MIDDLE OF THE FOREHEAD! GOOD GAWD!
Jake Mercer: That headbutt could have concussed our King of Elite and we can also see that Joso is bleeding a little bit from that headbutt SO IMPACT DOUBLES DOWN AND HEADBUTTS JOSO AGAIN!
Stew-O: Joso is backed up to the ropes and Impact pulls him off the ropes AND CLOBBERS HIM DOWN WITH A CLOTHESLINE ACROSS THE THROAT!
Jake Mercer: Joso is back down on the mat as Impact pulls him to the center of the ring. Impact hits the ropes before coming back AND LEAVING HIS FEET FOR AN ELBOW DROP–
Flannery McCoy: NOBODY HOME OFF THE ELBOW DROP AND IMPACT FINDS NOTHING BUT THE MAT AS JOSO HAS ROLLED OUT OF THE WAY!
Stew-O: Impact is trying to get back to his feet, but Joso is ready for him with a waistlock and he tries to lift Impact once again for a German Suplex–
Jake Mercer: AND THIS TIME JOSO IS ABLE TO HIT THE GERMAN SUPLEX! IMPACT GOES HEAD OVER HEELS BEFORE ROLLING ONTO HIS KNEES!
Flannery McCoy: Joso was waiting for him once again as Impact got to his knees AND JOSO WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO THE SIDE OF IMPACT’S HEAD ONCE AGAIN!
Stew-O: Impact falls face first to the canvas as Joso grabs him by the leg to the center of the ring AND JOSO HAS AN ANKLE LOCK APPLIED! SUBMISSION APPLIED BY THE KING OF ELITE IN THE CENTER OF THE RING!
Flannery McCoy: Joso is twisting Impact’s ankle as he also puts his knee in a horrible torque as the referee is right there to see if Impact wants to give this match up right now.
Jake Mercer: Come on, Flann. You know this isn’t going to work. These two competitors are going to have to beat each other half to death in order to even have a chance at getting the other to tap out.
Stew-O: Impact is clawing himself over to the ropes and Impact is about a foot away from the ropes, BUT JOSO PULLS HIM BACK INTO THE CENTER OF THE RING!
Jake Mercer: Joso was about to drop down and add a grapevine to the ankle lock, BUT IMPACT MANAGES TO ROLL FORWARD AND CATCHES JOSO BY SURPRISE BY GRABBING JOSO BY THE WAIST AND ROLLING JOSO UP! SHOULDERS ARE DOWN!
ONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOO!
THH–
Flannery McCoy: JOSO KICKS OUT AT TWO! Both men are trying to get back to their feet but Impact was just a little bit quicker to the punch this time as he picks Joso up AND SLAMS HIM DOWN ON THE MAT!
Stew-O: Joso is back on the mat and Impact isn’t going to make the same mistake twice. Instead of hitting the ropes, IMPACT JUST LEAVES HIS FEET AND HITS A LEG DROP ACROSS THE NECK!
Jake Mercer: Impact is looking for more than just a victory, he has to be out for blood with the shots that Joso has taken so far in this match.
Flannery McCoy: Impact has already forced Joso to bleed in this match. Impact might be looking to end his career here tonight at Pain for Pride, possibly as a consequence for stepping up and challenging him the way he did.
Stew-O: Impact pulls Joso back to his feet and whips Joso to the corner. Impact follows suit AND CLOBBERS JOSO IN THE CORNER WITH A CLOTHESLINE! Impact doesn’t allow Joso to fall to the mat.
Flannery McCoy: Impact lifts Joso up and sits him on the turnbuckle once again.This time Impact climbs onto the second rope. Impact has a facelock and we know what Impact is planning.
Jake Mercer: It’s not a move that is a standard part of Impact’s arsenal, BUT JOSO IS TRYING TO FIGHT BACK! JOSO IS THROWING SHOTS TO THE SIDE OF IMPACT’S HEAD! IT LOOKS LIKE IMPACT IS ABOUT TO LET GO–
Stew-O: He does, BUT ONLY LONG ENOUGH TO HEADBUTT JOSO ONCE AGAIN! Joso is dazed as Impact applies the facelock again AND THIS TIME JOSO COMES OFF THE TOP ROPE!
Jake Mercer: HOLY SHIT! SUPERPLEX BY THE HALL OF FAME! ANY MOVE IN THE BOOK IS FREE GAME IN A MATCH LIKE THIS! BOTH MEN ARE DOWN AT THE MOMENT!
Flannery McCoy: Joso took most of the damage from that move, but Impact didn’t get away unscathed. He has rolled onto his stomach as he pushes himself onto his knees and crawls over to Joso and hooks the leg for the cover!
ONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWOOOOOO!
THHHHHHRRRRRR—
Stew-O: JOSO KICKS OUT AT TWO! That was meant to cause as much damage as possible, but Impact did take too much time after the superplex to go for the cover. If he didn’t the match had a better chance of ending there.
Jake Mercer: But Impact is choosing to slow the match down as he sits Joso up and applies a rear chinlock. Right now, we are watching Impact wrestle his style of match as this chinlock is used more to torture than lead to a submission victory.
Flannery McCoy: Joso is trying to get free from this chinlock and Impact is trying to put on the pressure on a competitor who he considers a loudmouth pain in the ass.
Stew-O: Joso is starting to make it back to his feet to the point where both competitors are standing back up AND JOSO TWISTS AROUND AND COUNTERS WITH A MODIFIED NECKBREAKER!
Flannery McCoy: Impact is down on the mat as Joso drags him to the center of the ring before he hits the ropes to gain some speed. Joso comes back from the ropes BEFORE LEAPING UP AND HITTING A RUNNING SHOOTING STAR PRESS!
Jake Mercer: Joso got all of that Shooting Star Press as he gets back to his feet and hits the ropes again. Here comes Joso again AND HE HITS ANOTHER RUNNING SHOOTING STAR PRESS! This time Joso hooks the leg and goes for the cover!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOO!
THHH-
Stew-O: AND THE HALL OF FAMER KICKS OUT AT TWO! This match still has a long way to go before we even get close to seeing the deciding fall.
Jake Mercer: Joso rolls Impact onto his stomach and once again Joso hits the ropes. Here comes Joso one more and leaves his feet again–
Flannery McCoy: JOSO WENT FOR A CURB STOMP, BUT IMPACT ROLLED OUT OF THE WAY AT THE LAST SECOND! JOSO LANDED AWKWARDLY ON THE MAT AND HE COULD HAVE JUST MESSED UP HIS ANKLE FOR ALL WE KNOW!
Stew-O: That miscue was enough to give Impact an opportunity to take advantage of the situation as HE COMES FROM BEHIND AND CLOBBERS JOSO IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD WITH A RIGHT HAND!
Jake Mercer: Joso falls to his knees and Impact has a waistlock on Joso. Impact lifts Joso in the air AND DROPS JOSO ON THE BACK OF HIS HEAD WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX!
Flannery McCoy: Joso is down on the mat and once again we see Impact climb his way onto the second rope. Impact just wants to beat the ever loving crap out of Joso. Joso is getting back to his feet and he has no idea Impact is waiting for him
Stew-O: Joso is back on his feet and he is holding the back of his head as he turns around to a waiting Impact WHO JUMPS OFF THE SECOND ROPE AND HITS A MISSILE STYLE DROPKICK!
Flannery McCoy: The dropkick caught Joso right in the face and Joso was turned inside out and sent right to the ropes. Jake said that Impact was looking to take Joso to school and he is off to a good start.
Jake Mercer: That’s why you should listen to me more. I know exactly what I am talking about and right now we can see Impact bringing Joso once again back on his feet.
Stew-O: Impact has another facelock applied on Joso and he lifts Joso in the air looking for another suplex, BUT IMPACT IS BACKING UP TOWARDS THE ROPES! IMPACT WOULDN’T DO THAT, WOULD HE?
Jake Mercer: Of course he would. Impact has his back against the ropes AND HE JUST LETS GO OF JOSO AND JOSO JUST GOT LAUNCHED OUT OF THE RING WITH A MODIFIED SUPLEX!
Flannery McCoy: OH MY GAWD! JOSO JUST CRASHED AND BURNED ON THE RINGSIDE FLOOR AND THAT WAS NOT A GOOD LANDING! When Impact let him go, he started falling forward and ended up landing chest and face first on the floor.
Stew-O: That was a dangerous landing and Joso could have been knocked unconscious after that suplex. Hell that was more of a throw than a suplex, but Impact doesn’t care. Impact is screaming at the referee and telling them to start a count.
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE!
Jake Mercer: The referee has started a count and if it wasn’t obvious, Joso still hasn’t moved after he hit the floor. At this point, I think Impact would be fine with a countout victory.
Referee: FOUR! FIVE! SIX!
Flannery McCoy: I would probably agree with you, Jake. Imagine Impact being able to rub it in Joso’s face that he wasn’t even good enough to get pinned by the legendary Impact.
Referee: SEVEN! EIGHT!
Stew-O: Joso is starting to move on the floor and finding whatever energy he can to make it back into the ring and break the count.
Referee: NINE!
Flannery McCoy: Joso has made it back to his feet, but he might be too far from the ring to beat the count. Impact might have just won this match and gave the ultimate screw you to Joso!
Referee: TE–
Jake Mercer: JOSO BEAT THE COUNT? I MEAN HE BARELY BEAT THE COUNT! HOW IN THE HELL DID JOSO PULL THAT OFF? THAT LOOKED ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE! THAT LOOKS REALLY CLOSE!
Stew-O: Nothing is impossible in Elite Answers Wrestling. As we look at the replay, the referee was starting to finish the ten count and Joso went for broke as he just LAUNCHED HIMSELF INTO THE RING! He made it in just as the referee was finishing the count.
Jake Mercer: The referee has ruled that Joso made it back into the ring before the count was finished so this match continues on and Impact did not like that one bit as he immediately started putting the boots to Joso.
Flannery McCoy: But look at Joso! It looks like fire is starting to build up inside of Joso as he is fighting to get back to his feet. But Impact is trying to neutralize him and keep the King of Elite down.
Stew-O: Joso has made it over to Impact and is up enough TO GRAB IMPACT AND TAKE HIM DOWN WITH A DOUBLE LEG TAKEDOWN AND JOSO LAUNCHES HIMSELF AT IMPACT AGAIN AND JUST THROWING THE FISTS AGAIN!
Jake Mercer: JOSO HAS REACHED HIS BREAKING POINT AND HE READY TO JUST TEAR IMPACT APART! LOOK AT THE FISTS FLY AND THE REFEREE IS HAVING A HELL OF A TIME TRYING TO GET JOSO TO OPEN THE FISTS!
Flannery McCoy: I am surprised the referee hasn’t started a count yet, but we did believe that the referee was going to allow a little bit of leeway in this match because of it being Pain for Pride.
Stew-O: The fists are still flying and Impact was able to change the momentum and he is following suit and throwing any punch that he can in the hopes of cleaning Joso’s clock.
Flannery McCoy: Joso needs to watch out for Impact’s “Fist of Fury” because if Impact hits that knockout punch, that would end the match so fast his head would spin.
Jake Mercer: The fight has been going on until Joso gets his hand on the ropes and now the referee intervenes and forces a break. Impact is on his feet as Joso keeps an eye on Impact just in case he tries to take a shortcut–
Stew-O: JOSO TAKES A SHORTCUT FIRST AND KICKS IMPACT IN THE GUT! Impact was backed up for a moment and Joso with a kip up as he runs towards Impact, WHO FIRES OFF A CLOTHESLINE–
Jake Mercer: JOSO DUCKS THE CLOTHESLINE AND FLOATS OVER BEFORE GRABBING IMPACT’S HEAD! JOSO RUNS TO THE ROPES AND HE DROPS IMPACT WITH A MODIFIED TORNADO DDT!
Flannery McCoy: IMPACT PLANTED RIGHT ON HIS HEAD! Joso quickly scrambles to Impact and rolls him over and instead of a cover, JOSO HAS APPLIED ANOTHER SUBMISSION! JOSO HAS THE CROSSFACE SUBMISSION APPLIED ON IMPACT!
Stew-O: RIGHT IN THE CENTER OF THE RING, SO IF IMPACT WANTS A ROPE BREAK, HE BETTER THINK OF SOMETHING RIGHT HERE AND RIGHT NOW!
Jake Mercer: Very few people get one effective submission on Impact, but Joso has managed to apply two onto Impact. He should be lucky that he finds himself in a very elite… no pun intended… group of people.
Flannery McCoy: Of course you would have to say it like that, but Impact does have the power advantage over Joso AND HE IS TRYING EVERYTHING HE CAN TO DRAG JOSO ALONG WITH HIM TO THE ROPES TO BREAK THE SUBMISSION!
Stew-O: Impact showing some impressive power right now as Impact is about a foot away from reaching the ropes as Impact GOES FOR THE ROPES–
Flannery McCoy: JOSO ROLLS IN THE OTHER DIRECTION AND BRINGS IMPACT RIGHT BACK TO THE CENTER OF THE RING WITH CROSSFACE STILL APPLIED–
Jake Mercer: WAIT A SECOND! IMPACT FORCED JOSO TO KEEP ON ROLLING AND IT FORCES JOSO’S SHOULDERS TO THE MAT AS IMPACT BRIDGES UP!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEE–
Stew-O: JOSO GOT HIS SHOULDER UP ON TWO AND THAT FORCES JOSO TO RELEASE THE CROSSFACE AND THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT IMPACT WANTED!
Jake Mercer: That little move comes from the vast experience advantage over Joso to always have a Plan B if the original plan doesn’t work. What Impact just did was a prime example of that.
Flannery McCoy: Both men are coming back to their feet and Joso hits a kick to the gut. Joso applies a facelock and lifts Impact up in the air with a vertical suplex–
Stew-O: IMPACT WITH A KNEE TO JOSO’S SKULL AND THAT HELPS IMPACT LAND ON HIS FEET BEHIND JOSO! Joso turns around AS IMPACT FIRES A KICK THAT JOSO EASILY CATCHES!
Jake Mercer: BUT JOSO DIDN’T SEE THE OTHER BOOT COMING AND IMPACT CATCHES JOSO WITH THE STEP UP ENZUIGIRI! Impact knocked Joso for a loop as Impact kicks Joso in the gut.
Flannery McCoy: Impact hooks both of Joso’s arms and lifts Joso in the air BEFORE DROPPING HIM WITH THE DOUBLE ARMED BACKBREAKER! UGLY LANDING FOR JOSO!
Stew-O: Just like that, Impact uses his veteran instinct to keep control of this match while decimating Joso in the process.
Flannery McCoy: Joso is down on the mat as Impact pulls Joso towards the center of the ring as he runs to the ropes. Impact leaps onto the second rope AND FLIPS BACK FOR THE LIONSAULT–
Jake Mercer: AND IMPACT HITS THE LIONSAULT! “FLIGHT SIGHTS” BY THE HALL OF FAMER AND HE GOT ALL OF IT! IMPACT LANDED ON JOSO’S RIBS AS IMPACT HOOKS THE LEGS FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!
‘
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHRRRREEEEEEE–
Stew-O: JOSO KICKS OUT AT TWO! OHHH THAT WAS SO CLOSE TO BEING A THREE COUNT RIGHT THERE AND IMPACT CAN’T BE PLEASED THAT JOSO IS STILL IN THIS MATCH!
Jake Mercer: Impact is on his way to picking Joso apart and making, in his eyes, this loudmouth listen and give him a lesson in respect.
Flannery McCoy: Joso is still down on the mat but not for long as Impact once again pulls Joso back to his feet AND IMPACT GOES RIGHT BACK TO THOSE DANGEROUS KNIFE EDGE CHOPS!
Stew-O: Impact has one of the most dangerous chest chops in all of Elite Answers Wrestling and if Joso isn’t careful, his chest is gonna swell up with all the chops.
Jake Mercer: Impact has been firing those chops like no other to the point that Joso has been backed up to the ropes. Impact throws one last chop for good measure as Joso holds his chest in pain.
Flannery McCoy: Now Impact backs up enough to gain some speed as he leaves his feet. IMPACT GOES FOR A EUROPEAN UPPERCUT, BUT JOSO GOT HIS KNEES UP AND DRIVES INTO THE BACK OF IMPACT’S SKULL!
Stew-O: Joso grabs hold of Impact and wraps his legs around Impact’s shoulders. Impact showing more power as he pulls Joso out of the corner with Joso sitting on his shoulders–
Flannery McCoy: BUT JOSO FLIPS BACK AND HE TAKES IMPACT WITH HIM! GOOD GAWD! IMPACT WAS SPIKED ON HIS HEAD ONCE AGAIN THANKS TO JOSO! THIS TIME WITH THE POISONRANA!
Jake Mercer: I am surprised that Impact is still conscious after landing on his head so many times in this match. Now Joso is back on his feet as is Impact. Joso is quicker to the punch and he doubles Impact over.
Stew-O: Joso lifts Impact up in the air as Impact is dangling upside down. Joso steps through and gets Impact in position for a very dangerous move BEFORE JOSO FALLS FORWARD AND PLANTS IMPACT TO THE MAT!
Jake Mercer: “CRIMSON PEAK” BY THE KING OF ELITE! JOSO HIT HIS VERSION OF THE STYLES CLASH AND IMPACT WENT FACE FIRST INTO THE MAT BEFORE JOSO ROLLS HIM OVER AND STACKS HIM UP FOR THE COVER! SHOULDERS ARE DOWN!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOO!
THHHHHHHHHRRRRRREEEEEE!
Flannery McCoy: HE GOT THE SHOULDER UP! THE REFEREE WAS COMING DOWN FOR THE THREE COUNT AND IMPACT BARELY NUDGED HIS SHOULDER OFF THE CANVAS ENOUGH TO STOP THE COUNT!
Stew-O: Because of that, this match continues on. Impact is on the mat and Joso is trying to apply another submission, BUT IMPACT WAS PLAYING POSSUM! IMPACT SWEEPS JOSO’S LEGS OUT FROM UNDER HIM AND SENDS HIM CRASHING TO THE MAT!
Jake Mercer: Joso is down and Impact quickly stacks Joso up for another rollup. Impact is going to try and steal it here. Shoulders are down!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEE!
Flannery McCoy: JOSO KICKS OUT AT TWO! Impact was less than a second away from the match right there as Joso got his shoulders off the mat and he rolls onto his feet.
Stew-O: BUT THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT IMPACT WANTED! JOSO GOT BACK TO HIS FEET AND IMPACT WAS RIGHT THERE AS HE GETS BEHIND JOSO AND APPLIES THE COBRA CLUTCH!
Flannery McCoy: “MILLENNIAL INCARCERATION” BY THE HALL OF FAMER AND JOSO IS IN BIG TROUBLE AS IMPACT DRAGS JOSO TO THE CENTER OF THE RING! THIS ISN’T GOOD!
Jake Mercer: Joso has put on an amazing performance against the Hall of Famer Impact only to get caught by an Impact submission! JOSO IS DOING EVERYTHING HE CAN TO FIGHT FREE OF THE SUBMISSION!
Stew-O: BUT THAT COBRA CLUTCH IS APPLIED ON TIGHT AND IMPACT IS CUTTING OFF A LOT OF JOSO’S OXYGEN WITH THAT MOVE! LOOK! JOSO GOT A CHANCE TO CATCH IMPACT OFF GUARD AND START DRAGGING HIM TO THE ROPES–
Jake Mercer: NOPE! CAN’T HAPPEN THAT EASY! Now Impact stops Joso right in his tracks and drags him right back to the center of the ring.
Flannery McCoy: LISTEN TO THIS CROWD! THEY ARE GOING CRAZY AS THEY CHEER JOSO ON! THE FANS IN ATTENDANCE HERE FOR PAIN FOR PRIDE ARE FIRMLY IN JOSO’S CORNER!
Stew-O: LOOK! JOSO’S FIGHT IS STARTING TO SLOW! JOSO IS FADING! JOSO IS FADING VERY QUICKLY AND IT MIGHT ONLY BE A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE JOSO PASSES OUT–
Jake Mercer: JOSO’S ARM’S HAVE JUST DROPPED! JOSO COULD BE UNCONSCIOUS! Impact feels like this could be over right now as he drops to his knees and the referee is right there to check on Joso.
(The referee grabs Joso’s arm and lets it go as his arm falls completely limp.)
Referee: ONE!
Flannery McCoy: That’s one! If Joso’s arm falls three times, then Impact will win this match by submission. Right now, we can hear Impact telling Joso that he is just a mediocre competitor.
(The referee grabs Joso’s arm again and lets it fall with the same result.)
Referee: TWO!
Stew-O: THERE’S TWO! Look at Impact, he has the biggest devilish grin on his face realizing that he’s one count away from winning this match and putting Joso in his place.
(The referee grabs Joso’s arm one more time and lets it fall….)
Flannery McCoy: THAT’S IT! IT’S FALLING! JOSO IS UNCONSCIOUS! THIS MATCH IS OVE–
Referee: THR–
Jake Mercer: WAIT! LOOK AT THIS! LOOK AT JOSO!
(Joso’s arm was falling, but he caught it at the last possible second!)
Stew-O: JOSO CAUGHT HIS ARM! THERE IS STILL LIFE IN THE KING OF ELITE AND I THINK HE HAS FOUND HIS SECOND WIND AND HE IS TRYING TO FIGHT BACK—
Jake Mercer: JOSO GETS BACK TO HIS FEET BY BRIDGING UP! BOTH MEN ARE BACK UP AND JOSO FINDS THE ENERGY TO REACH BACK—
Flannery McCoy: JOSO GRABBED IMPACT BY THE HEAD AND COUNTERS WITH A SNAPMARE TAKEOVER AND JOSO IS FREE OF THE COBRA CLUTCH!
Stew-O: Holy crap! This crowd is coming unglued now that they see that Joso is still in this match. Joso falls back to the ropes and down on one knee to catch his breath.
Jake Mercer: Unfortunately, Impact is already back on his feet and HE IS RUNNING RIGHT FOR JOSO AND JOSO PULLS DOWN THE TOP ROPE AND IMPACT GOES FLYING OVER THE TOP ROPE–
Flannery McCoy: BUT IMPACT CAUGHT HIMSELF AND KEEPS HIMSELF ON THE RING APRON! Joso is still there and IMPACT WITH A FOREARM TO THE HEAD SENDS JOSO STAGGERING BACK!
Stew-O: Impact gets back in the ring, BUT JOSO GRABS HIM BACK AND LIFTS HIM UP BEFORE PLANTING HIM WITH A BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX! Impact is back to his feet BUT HE IS TAKEN OVER ONCE AGAIN WITH A SNAP SUPLEX!
Flannery McCoy: Impact is back on his feet once again AND JOSO CLOBBERS HIM WITH A DISCUS LARIAT! GOOD GRIEF! Impact is still on his feet as Joso turns him around AND LIFTS HIM UP BEFORE PLANTING HIM WITH THE SNAP DRAGON SUPLEX!
Jake Mercer: The force of the move sends Impact rolling back and back on his feet, BUT JOSO IS RIGHT THERE WITH A SPINNING HEEL KICK RIGHT TO IMPACT’S FACE! JOSO DOESN’T LET HIM FALL!
Stew-O: Joso has hold of Impact and whips him to the ropes. Impact with the rebound as JOSO LIFTS HIM UP AND CLOBBERS HIM WITH A POP UP KNEE STRIKE! THAT’S NOT ALL! JOSO HAS THE FACELOCK ON IMPACT AND LIFTS HIM UP IN THE AIR–
Jake Mercer: BRAINBUSTER!!!!! ALRIGHT EVERYBODY SAY IT WITH ME! I! DON’T! MISS! BEAUTIFUL COMBINATION OF MOVES THAT JOSO CALLS “I DON’T MISS!” AND HE CERTAINLY DIDN’T!
Flannery McCoy: We don’t see that very often from Joso, but he hit that sequence of moves to perfection and Impact is DOWN! Impact was spiked on the top of his head thanks to the brainbuster.
Stew-O: Impact is not moving as Joso drags Impact back to the center of the ring and he hooks the leg for the cover!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHRRRRRREEEEEEEE!
Jake Mercer: IMPACT KICKED OUT AT TWO! IMPACT WAS DROPPED NUMEROUS TIMES THANKS TO “I DON’T MISS” AND HE STILL HAD ENOUGH ENERGY TO KICK OUT BEFORE THREE!
Flannery McCoy: But Joso doesn’t look too shocked that Impact was able to kick out. It’s almost like Joso was expecting Impact to kick out. No shock that Joso has done his research. He wouldn’t be King of Elite if it doesn’t.
Stew-O: Impact is still down as Joso drags him over to the corner and Joso climbs his way to the top rope. It’s been a while since he’s been up there in this match. Joso doesn’t go up top very often, but goes for big moves when he does.
Flannery McCoy: Joso has his balance on the top turnbuckle and HE GOES FOR BROKE BY JUMPING OFF THE TURNBUCKLE AND FLIPS IN THE AIR FOR THE 450 SPLASH–
Jake Mercer: NOBODY WAS HOME FOR THE 450 SPLASH AS IMPACT ROLLED OUT OF THE WAY! JOSO WITH ANOTHER CRASH AND BURN IN THIS MATCH AS HE HITS THE MAT HARD OFF THE MISSED SPLASH!
Stew-O: Joso is holding his chest and ribs in pain after the landing as he makes his way onto his knees. Impact his back on his feet and he runs over to Joso AND APPLIES A FULL NELSON!
Jake Mercer: Full Nelson is in tight as Impact just HOISTS Joso back to his feet before Impact lifts him up AND JUST DRIVES HIM FACE FIRST INTO THE MAT! “THE HAIL MARY” BY IMPACT! DIRECT HIT WITH THE FULL NELSON FACEBUSTER!
Flannery McCoy: JOSO KISSES THE CANVAS ONCE AGAIN AS IMPACT ROLLS HIM OVER FOR THE COVER! IS IMPACT GONNA WIN THIS MATCH WITH A HAIL MARY?
ONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!
THHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!
Stew-O: JOSO KICKED OUT AT TWO! THE HAIL MARY WAS UNSUCCESSFUL FOR IMPACT AND THIS MATCH CONTINUES ON! WHAT A HELL OF A MATCH!
Jake Mercer: You have one of EAW’s most legendary and successful competitors ever going against one of if not THE hottest prospect of the New Era of EAW. What else were you expecting except for magic. This is MAGIC going on in the ring.
Flannery McCoy: Joso is still down on the mat and Impact has a look on his face that is easy to read. He is ready to finish this match once and for all. Impact drags Joso back to the center of the ring and grabs Joso’s legs.
Stew-O: IMPACT IS DOING EVERYTHING HE CAN TO TRY AND ROLL JOSO OVER FOR THE LEGENDARY “WALLS OF IMPACT” SUBMISSION! IF IMPACT GETS JOSO ROLLED OVER, THEN JOSO CAN KISS HIS CHANCES GOODBYE!
Flannery McCoy: Impact is trying to lock in the “Walls of Impact”, BUT JOSO IS BLOCKING IT! JOSO IS DOING EVERYTHING HE CAN TO PREVENT IMPACT FROM ROLLING HIM OVER! THESE TWO MEN HAVE BEEN PUT THROUGH HELL THIS ENTIRE MATCH!
Jake Mercer: And it is only getting worse by the second as this match goes on. Impact is getting frustrated that he can’t get Joso rolled over that he reaches down to punch Joso in the face–
Stew-O: JOSO AVOIDS THE PUNCH AND GRABS IMPACT BY THE BACK OF THE NECK AND PULLS HIM FORWARD INTO A MODIFIED INSIDE CRADLE! IMPACT WAS ROLLED UP AND SHOULDERS ARE DOWN!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEE!
Jake Mercer: OH MY GAWD! ANOTHER NEAR FALL! I DON’T KNOW IF MY HEART CAN TAKE IT! Joso almost stole the match right there, but Impact was able to kick out. Impact is rolling back to feet as Joso backs up a little.
Flannery McCoy: Joso is trying to get as quick of a breather as he can as Impact is back on his feet and he has fire in his eyes as he is heading right to Joso. Joso is against the ropes and he has nowhere else to go–
Stew-O: JOSO FROM OUT OF NOWHERE WITH A DROP TOE HOLD AND IMPACT GOES THROAT FIRST INTO THE MIDDLE ROPE! Impact is holding his throat in annoyance as he gets back to his feet.
Jake Mercer: HE TURNS RIGHT INTO JOSO, WHO WAS BACK ON HIS FEET AND HE HITS IMPACT WITH THE DOUBLE KNEE FACEBREAKER! CODEBREAKER BY JOSO! OH HELL! THAT IS NOT GONNA SIT WELL WITH IMPACT!
Flannery McCoy: Impact also uses the codebreaker and he has finished numerous matches with that move, so that might be a little bit of disrespect being returned to Impact that Impact gave to Joso earlier.
Stew-O: I would say that all is fair in love and war, but there is no love in this match. Just war and nobody plays nice in a war like this.
Flannery McCoy: Joso goes to try and bring Impact back to his feet, BUT IMPACT BREAKS FREE AND BOTH MEN HAVE LOCKED EYES! Neither man has backed down or backed up this entire match.
Jake Mercer: We have a standoff at Pain for Pride and the crowd is still cheering. They have loved this match from the opening bell.
Stew-O: Neither man has tried to make a move since this standoff started. They are being a little more strategic at this point in the match because one move could be your last.
Jake Mercer: It looks like Impact is making the first move AND HE FIRES OFF A FOREARM IN JOSO’S FACE! Joso was sent back for a moment, BUT HE COMES BACK AND RETURNS THE FAVOR WITH A FOREARM OF HIS OWN!
Flannery McCoy: HERE COMES IMPACT WITH ANOTHER FOREARM TO THE FACE AND JOSO RETURNS WITH ANOTHER! ONE FOREARM AFTER THE OTHER AND THIS MATCH HAS ONCE AGAIN TURNED INTO A STRAIGHT FIGHT!
Stew-O: If they aren’t going for those high risk moves, they are just beating the hell out of each other. This rivalry reached a fever pitch and one of them wants to leave with the decisive victory at this point.
Jake Mercer: Forget the count outs. Forget the disqualifications. This match is only going to end with a pinfall or a submission. Someone can and someone WILL FALL! Just you wait and see.
Flannery McCoy: Impact’s forearm shots are having a little bit more effect than Joso’s because Joso has been back towards the ropes. Impact grabs Joso and whips him to the ropes.
Stew-O: Joso rebounds off the ropes and AVOIDS THE IMPACT CLOTHESLINE BEFORE HITTING THE ROPES ON THE OTHER SIDE! Joso rebounds off the ropes once again–
Flannery McCoy: IMPACT JUMPS IN THE AIR AND FALLS BACK TO TAKE JOSO OVER WITH THE FRANKENSTEINER! “TURNING TIDES” BY THE HALL OF FAMER AND JOSO ROLLS OUTSIDE TO THE APRON!
Jake Mercer: Very smart by Joso because usually Impact likes to follow up the Frankensteiner with one of his finishing moves, so Joso might have just saved the match for himself.
Stew-O: Joso gets back to his feet on the apron AND IMPACT COMES RUNNING IN, BUT JOSO GRABS IMPACT BY THE BACK OF THE HEAD AND DROPS OFF THE APRON AND CATCHES IMPACT BY THE THROAT!
Jake Mercer: Impact holds his throat and Joso slowly makes his way to the top rope. Impact turns around AND JOSO LEAPS OFF THE TOP ROPE LOOKING FOR A EUROPEAN UPPERCUT–
Flannery McCoy: IMPACT CAUGHT HIM AT THE LAST SECOND AND COUNTERS WITH A FULL NELSON! NOT AGAIN! IMPACT LIFTS UP JOSO LOOKING FOR ANOTHER “HAIL MARY”–
Stew-O: JOSO JUMPS UP AND ROLLS FORWARD TO COUNTER THE FACEBUSTER INTO A MODIFIED VICTORY ROLL, BUT IMPACT LET THE HOLD GO BEFORE A COUNT COULD BE STARTED!
Jake Mercer: Both competitors are back to their feet, but Impact is up first AND IMPACT WITH A KICK TO THE GUT! IMPACT GRABS JOSO AND LIFTS HIM UP FOR A POWERBOMB–
Flannery McCoy: JOSO SLIDES OFF IMPACT’S BACK AND MANAGES TO TAKE IMPACT DOWN WITH A SUNSET FLIP, BUT IMPACT ONCE AGAIN ROLLS THROUGH BEFORE A COUNT CAN BE STARTED!
Stew-O: Both men are once again back to their feet AND IMPACT WITH ANOTHER HEADBUTT! IS IMPACT TRYING TO CRACK HIS SKULL OR SOMETHING?
Flannery McCoy: I don’t know, but Joso is holding his forehead in pain as fresh blood is starting to trickle on his forehead. But Impact grabs Joso and whips him to the ropes. Joso comes back and Impact PICKS HIM UP AND LOOKS TO HIT THE TILT A WHIRL BACKBREAKER–
Stew-O: Joso somehow manages to get free of the backbreaker. Joso lands on his feet and turns Impact around before he kicks Impact and doubles him over once more. Joso lifts him up in the air AND SPIKES IMPACT WITH THE 1916 STYLE DDT!
Jake Mercer: IMPACT WAS DROPPED ON HIS HEAD ONCE AGAIN AND HE COULD BE CONCUSSED FOR ALL WE KNOW!! Joso was trying for a cover, but Impact had enough awareness to roll away and avoid the pinfall.
Flannery McCoy: Impact has rolled to the corner, but Joso is right there trying to beat the hell out of Impact, but the referee is right there to keep Joso away from Impact and have a clean break between the two competitors.
Stew-O: HOLD ON! WAIT A SECOND! DO YOU SEE WHAT I SEE? IMPACT IS REACHING INTO HIS POCKET FOR SOMETHING AND I DON’T THINK ANYBODY SEES IT–
Flannery McCoy: WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?
Jake Mercer: IT’S SALT! IMPACT TRIED FOR THE SALT TRICK, BUT IT DIDN’T WORK! HE MISSED JOSO AND HE WAS CLOSE TO HITTING THE REFEREE! GOOD THING THE REFEREE HAD HIS BACK TOWARDS IMPACT, BUT NO CONTACT WAS MADE SO NO DISQUALIFICATION–
Stew-O: THE SALT WAS A DECOY! IMPACT GRABS THE FRONT OF JOSO’S TIGHTS AND PULLS HIM FACE FIRST INTO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! JOSO COMES OUT OF THE CORNER AS IMPACT GETS TO HIS FEET! JOSO TURNS AROUND AND IMPACT FIRES OFF THE “FIST OF FURY”-
Jake Mercer: IMPACT WENT FOR THAT KNOCKOUT PUNCH AND JOSO WAS DANGEROUSLY CLOSE TO GETTING KNOCKED OUT COLD, BUT HE MANAGES TO GET OUT OF THE WAY AT THE LAST SECOND. IMPACT TURNS BACK AROUND AND HE IS MET WITH A BOOT FROM JOSO!
Flannery McCoy: IMPACT WAS DOUBLED OVER BEFORE JOSO LIFTS IMPACT UP IN THE AIR AND HOOKS UP IMPACT’S LEGS BEFORE WALKING TOWARDS THE CENTER OF THE RING! JOSO IS IN POSITION BEFORE HE DROPS TO THE MAT–
Stew-O: “HEAVEN’S GATE”! HE GOT THE PACKAGE PILEDRIVER AND IMPACT WAS SPIKED ON HIS HEAD! JOSO PULLS IMPACT AWAY FROM THE ROPES AND ROLLS HIM OVER BEFORE JOSO HOOKS THE LEG! WILL IT BE ENOUGH FOR JOSO BEAT THE HALL OF FAMER?
ONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHRRRRRREEEEEE!
(DING! DING! DING!)
( ‘2024’ starts playing again as the crowd starts going absolutely crazy as Joso slowly starts to roll off of Impact as Stephie Love begins to announce the final decision of the match.)
Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen! Here is your winner… THE KING OF ELITE! JOSO!
Stew-O: WHAT! A! MATCH! What an amazing contest we were able to witness between one of the most legendary competitors in EAW history and the man who is spearheading the New Era movement.
Flannery McCoy: This was a match that truly could have gone either way and they were willing to delve deep into their arsenals in order to successfully complete their mission. Only one man could have left victorious and it was the King of Elite that pulled off the win.
Stew-O: We had a feeling that this match would break down into a fight and it certainly did. Neither competitor held anything back for the sake of beating the holy hell out of the other.)
(Joso is still trying to catch his breath as he slowly makes it back to his feet and the referee raises his arm in victory for a moment before going to check on Impact. Joso leans against the ropes for a moment while taking one last look at the fallen Hall of Famer before he leaves the ring and gingerly walks up the entrance ramp.
Jake Mercer: I knew it was going to suck having to watch one of these competitors lose and it absolutely did.
Flannery McCoy: Impact reminded us all of the skills he had that made him the legendary competitor that he is, but Joso survived the onslaught and came up with the win.
Jake Mercer: I give all the credit in the world to Impact because he’s Impact and he’s awesome. Impact had the match won on a few occasions during this match, but Joso didn’t miss this time.
Stew-O: As much as we hate to say it, Impact does leave this year’s Pain for Pride with a defeat at the hands of the King of Elite. Congratulations once again to the King of Elite, Joso, on the hard earned and hard fought victory here at Pain for Pride.
(The final shot shows Joso standing at the top of the entrance ramp soaking in the cheers of the crowd and the feeling of finally getting the pinfall victory of the legendary Hall of Famer. Joso smiles down towards the entrance where Impact is sitting up in the center of the ring, looking very pissed off as the camera fades elsewhere….)
(Pain For Pride Kingdom returns as the final match graphic of the night is seen flashing across the screen, with the Orlando crowd going berserk.)

(The camera goes back to the Camping World Stadium as ‘Ambitionz az a Ridah’ by Tupac begins to blast through the speakers. The crowd goes berserk as the shot goes over to the side of the stage, where TLA is seen riding in with his signature lowrider. He has poons in all of the seats as they cheer him on while he stands up as he comes to park, standing on the driver’s seat as he raises his hand in the air with a smirk. He then jumps out of the car and begins to hype up the crowd before then beginning to make his way down the ramp.)
Deadprez: TLA’s Season up to this point has been a wild one. Having started off on the Sunday Night Voltage brand, he was traded as a mid-Season acquisition for Hikari Kanno to the Showdown brand, which he quickly made his home. It was there that he won a contendership match at Fighting Spirit which allows him the opportunity to walk into the Pain For Pride main event tonight.
Eve: Even though this situation is not the one that he particularly expected, with this match not expecting to be the way that it was at all initially, that doesn’t change the fact that he is walking into this more motivated than ever to prove a point. He has done a lot in his Hall of Fame career, but one thing that he has not done is win a World Championship at Pain For Pride, and he looks to change that. This is his opportunity to become a three-time World Champion.
Gavin Kirkland: And I believe it! I believe ‘La Pantera Sexual’ can come out on top, I mean, just look at all the lovely ladies he brought out here tonight! If I had these many… female acquaintances along with me, I’d be willed forward to win as well! He’s got this!
(The sound of thunder begins to roar throughout the Camping World Stadium. This causes the EAW Universe to look around before turning their attention towards the stage. The titantrons project a huge red background with red lightning shooting down to a mystic body of water.)
(‘Coloss’ by InfraSound Music begins to play throughout the background as lightning begins to appear from the heavens from who knows where as it begins to strike down the sides of the LED ramp, which has slowly transformed into a flowing current rushing down the bottom of the ramp as it displays a consistency from the red lighting pouring down rain to the LED ramp being used to rush the red water down. All one consistent scene.)
(As the ominous battle music begins to play in the background, rain droplets with red dye begins to pour out of the humid Orlando, Florida heat, which is provided by a couple of helicopters circling around the stadium — the same ones used to put out the wildfires in California. Still, the cameras manage to keep the illusion alive for the viewers at home as it appears like red rain is pouring from the sky.)
(As the cameras pan back to the top of the stage, it consists of a huge rock near the mountains. The peak of the mountain is shown on the main stage. The smaller boulders and rocks are seen with the LED set on each side of the stage. With that rock, it seems like it’s located near the edge of a cliff, but the end of it seems to be completely missing.)
(At this point, the thunder is being heard, the red lighting is shooting down from the skies and red rain begins to pour down as it focuses on the huge rock at the front and center of the stage.)
(The ominous battle music continues to reach its dramatic conclusion as someone is seen rising above the ground up on the stage. They don a female version costume of Marvel’s Thor. From the red cape, to the vest to the body suit, wristband, knee pads and what not, the entire outfit was well-adjusted, so that they will be able to wrestle in it. There’s an uncertainty of this figure on the screen. By the fiery red hair, it seems to be quite obvious. But their back is turned as they extend their hand out to the side of the stage before — )
( — the hammer of the gods, Mjölnir, shoots to their grasp in command. As soon as they get their hands on the hammer, the thunder and lighting begin to go off as the figure turns the camera angles to the side where it gets a good look of Ms. Extreme, who is revealed smirk as she raises the Mjölnir up in the air. Cue the whole thunder and lighting as —)
♪♪ ***SHE SPEAKS IN THUNDER.*** ♪♪
(The intensity of the drums and guitar of ‘Red Thunder’ by Butcher Babies begins to blast throughout the Camping World Stadium. Ms. Extreme turns around, but she is not alone as Heidi Shepherd and Carla Harvey of Butcher Babies are seen rising up and taking place on the rocks behind Ms. Extreme. Ms. Extreme stands on top of the rock at the moment as the two women begin to play her entrance music for a bit. Ms. Extreme mouths the lyrics to her entrance music with them for a moment, hyping up the two women as they pump her up in return.)

(Ms. Extreme points at the Butcher Babies, giving them a round of applause as she begins to jump off the rock before being stopped by… Claudia Sheinbaum, Mexican’s newest President-elect, who had recently made history as Mexico’s first woman and first Jewish president. Now, she is present for another history-making milestone between two beloved Latinos. She stands behind a couple of security guards, who are protecting her, making sure that no one tries to go after her. Giving that presidential treatment.)
(Ms. Extreme and Claudia Sheinbaum begin to talk briefly as Claudia extends a sort of colorful cloth. Ms. Extreme unrolls the cloth before revealing it to the camera as a good portion of the EAW Universe begins to pop, revealing the red, white and green striped flag with the central coat of arms featuring the eagle, a cactus and a serpent.)
(The flag of Mexico.)
(The crowd pops for the flag of Mexico. The Mexican heritage that Ms. Extreme had wrestled with her entire life. The culture that she had so many conflicted feelings towards her entire childhood. Only to come to embrace these last couple of years during a journey of realization. Claudia Sheinbaum and Ms. Extreme shake hands as Ms. Extreme places it on her back and begins to make her way down the ramp. She is not only representing herself tonight, but a whole community. A whole fucking culture with an opponent that she holds in high regards, looking to be part of history himself.)
(It has all hit her that she’s actually here. In the main event of Pain for Pride and battling for a World Championship. Something that she’s wanted since returning back in Road to Redemption 2022. Butcher Babies continue to play ‘Red Thunder’ in the background as the commentators begin to give their analysis.)
Deadprez: WOW! What an entrance tonight by Ms. Extreme, but we know how much this match means to her. We know how much this match means to EVERYONE here tonight in the packed Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida. This is history in the making and she wants to make it known exactly why.
Eve: Coming from the Friday Night Dynasty brand Ms. Extreme had originally lost out an opportunity against Myles for the World Heavyweight Championship at Operation: Doomsday. After going on to face Methuselah at Fighting Spirit, it didn’t initially end her way. But because of the mishaps that occured thanks to Bronson Daniels, she was awarded this spot in the main event of Pain For Pride tonight for the Answers World Championship.
Deadprez: It has been quite sometime since she’s won a World Championship, and even though some credit her as one of the major players in assimilating men’s and women’s wrestling in EAW with each other, she has never won a male-dominated World Championship.
Eve: Tonight she looks to change that, and in her second Pain For Pride main event, the newly inducted Hall of Famer looks to become a two-time World Champion. But it’s going to be a tall task against the opponent that she’s up against here tonight.
Gavin Kirkland: :mjcry: This is so emotional to me. Look at TLA’s face, he’s just as proud of this as I am as well. This is great.
(Of course, TLA does look impressed with the entrance as Ms. Extreme enters and meets him face-to-face. The lights dim down as the crowd goes wild, with the referee entering into the ring with the Answers World Championship in hand and Gina Romano standing by.)
Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR…
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
Gina Romano: AND IT IS FOR THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!!!!!
(The crowd shakes the entire building hearing this, as both Ms. Extreme and TLA have not taken their eyes off of one another.)
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST… RESIDING IN THE POON PALACE… WEIGHING IN AT 210 POUNDS… ‘LA PANTERA SEXUAL’… T!!!!!!!!! L!!!!!!!!! A!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(TLA throws his fist into the air as the crowd continues to cheer. He beats his chest before looking back at his opponent with a smirk.)
Gina Romano: AND HIS OPPONENT… FROM CALABASAS, CALIFORNIA… WEIGHING IN AT 140 POUNDS… ‘THE RED QUEEN’… MS. EXTREME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Ms. Extreme takes the flag of Mexico off her back and raises it in the air, which of course gets a loud cheer from the crowd as TLA along with them gives her applause.)
(Both competitors take their entrance gear off and head to their respective corners as the lights go back to normal, the referee raising the vacant Answers World Championship into the air while they do. Then as the crowd continues to go absolutely wild, they ring the bell and signal for this match to get underway.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Deadprez: The bell has rung, making this match official! With the vacant Answers World Championship on the line, two of Showdown’s best compete to see who will enter the next Season at the top of the food chain. A staple of the brand since his mid-Season arrival TLA goes up against newly inducted Hall of Famer Ms. Extreme, and just look how electric Camping World Stadium is tonight for this match!
Gavin Kirkland: First Latino Pain For Pride main event in EAW history, this means something to me.
Deadprez: To *you?*
Gavin Kirkland: To me. :wow:
(The crowd is obviously electric for this, with Orlando, Florida having a large Hispanic population, it’s clear that this match is more than just a World Championship match, it’s history in the making. Both TLA and Ms. Extreme acknowledge this with proud looks on their faces but it’s quickly that they begin to focus back in.)
Eve: It’s been a long time since we’ve seen either of these Elitists with World Championships under their waist, and what’s been proven these past couple of weeks is that they’re hungrier than ever to change that! They make their way toward the center of the ring and it looks like they’re going to start this with a collar-and-elbow tie-up right now. Ms. Extreme immediately slips under TLA and goes for a waist lock to try and gain control early, but TLA isn’t budging easily as he immediately shifts his weight down to the ground before prying at her arms, breaking free of her grip and maneuvering around to grab hold of her wrist this time.
Gavin Kirkland: But Ms. Extreme is quick to roll forward as she twists herself around and turns it into a hold of her own, bringing TLA down to a kneeling position while she slowly brings him down to the ground. TLA is trying to find a way out of this, but Ms. Extreme pins his shoulders to the canvas! The referee slides down about to start a pinfall, but TLA lifts his shoulders up and immediately uses that to strengthen himself over her as he swaps roles between the two. Now it’s Ms. Extreme on the ground and she quickly lifts her shoulder and uses that to push herself back up to her feet. TLA is trying to keep her down on the ground, but it seems like she isn’t very eager to do that as she pressures both of them up to their feet.
Deadprez: Ms. Extreme begins to push TLA against the ropes and that’s not a good sign for him, as she immediately grabs a hold of his wrist and sends him toward the opposite side of the ring with an Irish whip. She then makes her way back toward the center of the ring… BUT TLA RETALIATES AS HE TAKES HER DOWN TO THE GROUND WITH A SHOULDER TACKLE! Ms. Extreme falls flat on her back but immediately brings herself upward into a kneeling position. You can see both Elitists are just trying to test the waters right now and see what they’re up against.
Eve: They go right back to doing as they lock up again, but this time it’s TLA who is a lot more prepared for it as he pushes Ms. Extreme toward the ropes. He then sends her into an Irish whip of his own right here… but she sees it coming as she grabs hold of the ropes to keep herself in place and prevent herself from rebounding! She manages to save herself for the time being, BUT THAT QUICKLY CHANGES AS TLA RUSHES OVER AND CONNECTS WITH A CLOTHESLINE THAT SENDS HER OVER THE TOP ROPE!
Gavin Kirkland: Ms. Extreme goes over but manages to land on the apron just in time, keeping a hold of the ropes as she lifts herself back up to her feet. This is not the start that she anticipated and right now TLA has a fire in his eyes… AND HE LEAPS OFF OF THE ROPES AND CONNECTS WITH A TRIANGLE DROPKICK WHICH SENDS THE FORMER UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION FLYING OFF!
Deadprez: She tumbles down hard at the ringside area and this is not good at all, as she quickly staggers back and seizes hold of the barricade before pushing herself off of them… JUST FOR TLA TO COME FLYING IN AND CONNECT WITH A SUICIDE DIVE WHICH COMPLETELY WIPES HER OUT AGAIN!
Eve: TLA then grabs hold of her and brings her back up to her feet before rolling her into the ring, then beginning to make his way up onto the apron as he doesn’t seem to be following suit immediately. He begins to make his way over to the corner and scale up the top turnbuckle, and that means he’s looking to go aerial! TLA IS ABOUT TO LAUNCH OFF- BUT MS. EXTREME IS QUICK TO RUSH FORWARD AND SWING A WILD PUNCH AT HIS FACE- TLA MANAGES TO BLOCK IT AND SEND ONE BACK OF HIS OWN TO STUN HER MOMENTARILY! Ms. Extreme gains her focus back… JUST FOR TLA TO PUSH HIMSELF OFF AND LAND A MISSILE DROPKICK TO HER CHEST TO TAKE HER DOWN TO THE CANVAS ONCE MORE!
Gavin Kirkland: Ms. Extreme is sent down to the canvas as she tumbles hard before pushing herself up, and even with the flurry of offense that has come her way she still manages to push through that as she staggers backward and leans against the corner! TLA is right back up to his feet and he’s looking to keep his foot on her neck, not willing to let up even for a second now as he makes his way over… BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A HARD CHOP TO THE CHEST!
Deadprez: Ms. Extreme falls down to a seated position now, grabbing her chest in pain while TLA is looking for a running start, looking to follow this up and close off the great momentum boost that he’s having right now… RUSHING FORWARD AND GOING FOR DOUBLE KNEES TO THE CORNER-
Eve: BUT MS. EXTREME MANAGES TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY OF THAT! TLA collides hard with the turnbuckles but manages to get himself back up to his feet, knowing the trouble that he’s in now that Ms. Extreme has managed to get herself back into this, backing himself into the same corner that she was in… AS MS. EXTREME RUSHES OVER AND LEAPS OFF OF THE BOTTOM ROPE BEFORE NAILING HIM WITH A SPRINGBOARD ROCKET KICK! TLA falls down to a seated position himself, AND MS. EXTREME IS NOT WASTING ANYTIME BEGINNING TO STOMP DOWN REPEATEDLY ON HIS CHEST!
Gavin Kirkland: Ms. Extreme is looking to make up for lost time after the attack that came her way by TLA, and she finally relents from the stomping attack to his chest as TLA slowly inches himself out of the corner in pain. It’s clear that this is not the situation that he wants to be in right now as he clutches a hold of the ropes, using them to prop himself back up. But just because she’s stopped does not mean that Ms. Extreme is finished as she turns around and rushes to the ropes… BEFORE REBOUNDING OFF OF THEM AND PUSHING HERSELF OFF THE GROUND INTO A BASEMENT DROPKICK TO HIS FACE!
Deadprez: TLA is absolutely rocked by this and Ms. Extreme is looking to make sure that he doesn’t get a moment to breathe, quickly seizing him by the head and beginning to make her way over to the center of the ring… She brings TLA completely back up to his feet, BUT TLA QUICKLY TRIES TO GO FOR A KICK TO THE ABDOMEN TO STOP HER ASSAULT- But that doesn’t work out as Ms. Extreme seizes a hold of it just in time, SHE PUSHES IT DOWN BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A KICK OF HER OWN TO HIS FACE! TLA is doubled over as Ms. Extreme then turns around and rushes to the ropes and back… LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND GOING FOR A SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMB! ‘CODE RED-
Eve: BUT TLA MANAGES TO RUSH FORWARD AND CONNECT WITH A BIG BOOT THAT NAILS HER HARD ACROSS THE FACE! Ms. Extreme is backed against the ropes as TLA sends her to the other side of the ring… BEFORE LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTING WITH A HURRICANRANA TO TAKE HER DOWN TO THE GROUND! TLA now is looking to recover as he rolls out onto the apron and is once again beginning to make his way up to the top rope. He has his eyes set here as Ms. Extreme begins to get back up…
Gavin Kirkland: BUT MS. EXTREME RUSHES FORWARD AND FLIPS HERSELF OVER INTO A HEADSTAND, GRABBING TLA INTO A HEADSCISSORS… BEFORE SENDING HIM OFF OF THE TURNBUCKLE AND DOWN TO THE GROUND! THE TURNBUCKLE HEADSTAND HEADSCISSORS TAKEDOWN CONNECTS AND SHE’S QUICK TO ROLL TLA ONTO HIS BACK AND HOOK THE LEG! GOING FOR THE FIRST PINFALL OF THE NIGHT!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHH-
Deadprez: BUT TLA MANAGES TO SHOOT THE SHOULDER UP! Ms. Extreme with the first big move of the night and you can see the fatigue begin to kick in for both of these competitors right now. TLA is quickly beginning to roll to the ropes, knowing that there needs to be a way that he can get himself out of this before Ms. Extreme can go any further. He’s beginning to get back up to his feet, but Ms. Extreme is quick to take notice of this as she gets back up herself before making her way over. She grabs hold of him by the arm before sending him to the ropes…
Eve: BUT TLA AS HE REBOUNDS LEAPS INTO THE AIR AND TAKES HER DOWN WITH A HURRICANRANA! Ms. Extreme is sent rolling down to the ground as she gets back up to her feet, TLA making her way toward her and looking to strike- BUT BEFORE HE CAN IT’S MS. EXTREME THAT MANAGES TO SPIN AROUND AND CONNECT WITH A BACK KICK TO THE ABDOMEN THAT SENDS HIM STAGGERING BACK! MS. EXTREME THEN LIFTS HER FOOT UP AND TRIES TO CONNECT WITH A THRUST KICK RIGHT TO THE FACE- BUT TLA MANAGES TO DUCK UNDER THAT!
Gavin Kirkland: TLA LEAPS INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTS WITH A DROPKICK TO THE SPINE OF MS. EXTREME THAT SENDS HER STUMBLING FORWARD! SHE’S AGAINST THE MIDDLE ROPE AND TLA IS WASTING NO TIME LOOKING TO CONNECT AS HE RUNS TO THE ROPES AND BACK… BEFORE GOING FOR THE TIGER FEINT KICK! LOOKING TO CONNECT WITH THE ‘305’!
Deadprez: NO! MS. EXTREME SEES THE LEG COMING AND MANAGES TO GRAB A HOLD OF IT BEFORE IT CAN CONNECT! SHE YANKS TLA FORWARD AND DROPS HER DOWN TO THE CANVAS BEFORE RUNNING TO THE ROPES AND BACK… GOING FOR A LEG DROP TO TAKE HIM DOWN!
Eve: BUT TLA KIPS BACK UP TO HIS FEET BEFORE LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTING WITH AN ENZUIGIRI TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD! MS. EXTREME FALLS BACKWARD AGAINST THE CORNER AS TLA, FROM THERE, STEPS FORWARD AND NAILS HER WITH A FOREARM TO THE FACE! TLA THEN TURNS AROUND AND RUSHES TOWARD THE OPPOSITE CORNER BEFORE ROUNDING BACK TOWARD MS. EXTREME, GETTING A RUNNING START…
Gavin Kirkland: BUT MS. EXTREME MANAGES TO CONNECT WITH A BOOT STRAIGHT TO HIS FACE WHICH SENDS HIM BACK TOWARD THE CENTER OF THE RING! She then sees the opportunity here to make something happen as she begins to push herself up the ropes and to the top turnbuckle. TLA turns around toward her and looks to try and fight back, but he’s right in position…
Deadprez: AS MS. EXTREME LEAPS OFF AND CONNECTS WITH ‘GLASS CEILING’! THE TOP ROPE STUNNER TO TLA!
Eve: ‘CARTEL KICK’!
Gavin Kirkland: TLA SPINS AROUND AND LEAPS INTO THE AIR AS HE CATCHES MS. EXTREME WITH A PELE KICK AS SHE FALLS DOWN! QUICK THINKING BY TLA MANAGES TO SAVE HIM AS HE QUICKLY STRETCHES HIS ARM OUT AND THROWS IT OVER THE BODY OF MS. EXTREME! PIN ATTEMPT!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRRRREE-
Deadprez: BUT JUST IN TIME IT’S MS. EXTREME THAT MANAGES TO KICK OUT! A collective sigh of relief from the Camping World Stadium tonight as this match goes on. Once again, it can’t be understated the historical factor behind this, and the fact that regardless of the result we will be seeing a new Answers World Champion tonight! I think it’s safe to say that the excitement is absolutely through the roof.
Eve: But as you can see right now this match has been full throttle since the opening bell, and after that counter by TLA, Ms. Extreme is beginning to roll herself right out of the ring, realizing the position that she’s in right now and what’s going to happen if she continues to let him respond like this. TLA is back up and it doesn’t look like he’s immediately beginning to follow him to the outside, but it does look like he has something ion mind to keep his offense going right now.
Gavin Kirkland: He’s beginning to make his way up to the top rope and you can tell that this is a high risk, high reward situation for him as he looks to dive to the ringside area! Ms. Extreme is beginning to regain her bearings as she realizes right now what’s going to happen if she lets this keep going any longer, but TLA already has his mind set as he positions himself…
Deadprez: BEFORE PUSHING OFF OF THE ROPES AND GOING FOR ‘420’ TO THE OUTSIDE! SHOOTING STAR PRESS TO A STANDING MS. EXTREME!
Eve: NO! SHE MANAGES TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY! MS. EXTREME PULLS HERSELF OUT OF THE LINE OF FIRE AND TLA CRASHES AND BURNS ON THE OUTSIDE!
Gavin Kirkland: A collective gasp is heard in the arena and it’s clear that TLA is hurt right now, and Ms. Extreme looks to take advantage of that herself as she grabs a hold of him and rolls him back into the ring! TLA is clutching at his chest toward the center of the ring as he slowly begins to push himself back up, and that is not at all what he wants to happen especially this far into the match!
Deadprez: AND MS. EXTREME LOOKS TO FOLLOW THAT UP AS SHE SLIDES HERSELF BACK INTO THE RING BEFORE LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTING WITH THE ‘CODE RED’! THE SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMB COMPLETELY TAKES TLA OUT ON THE SECOND ATTEMPT AND MS. EXTREME PINS HIS SHOULDERS TO THE MAT! GOING FOR THE PIN ATTEMPT! WILL THIS BE IT?!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEE-
Eve: KICKOUT! TLA SHOOTS THE SHOULDER UP!
(As she gingerly rises back up to a seated position, the look on Ms. Extreme’s face begins to grow more frustrated as the match goes on. It’s clear that it’s going to take a lot to take down someone like TLA, but that along with worrying about what he’s going to send her way is not settling her very much. She snarls before pushing herself back up to her feet.)
Gavin Kirkland: I know that look from anywhere, guys. I have a feeling that we’re going to see a lot more aggression out of the former Women’s Champion as this match goes on, I don’t think it’s going to please her to have this match drag on for very long!
Deadprez: TLA is slowly beginning to recover as he pushes himself back up to his feet, but Ms. Extreme is not looking to give him any breathing room as she has her eyes set on something right now. She grabs a hold of him by the head and pulls him in- BUT BEFORE SHE CAN DO ANYTHING IT’S TLA WHO MANAGES TO SHOW SIGNS OF LIFE BY SENDING STRIKES HARD TO THE ABDOMEN OF MS. EXTREME!
Eve: I think that she was trying to go for the ‘Twist of Fate’ right there but TLA managed to see it coming! He manages to break himself free as he pushes himself backward, BUT MS. EXTREME IS QUICK TO TRY TO RECOVER AS SHE ATTEMPTS TO CONNECT WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO THE SIDE OF HIS HEAD- BUT TLA MANAGES TO AVOID THAT AND DUCK UNDER IT! TLA then grabs hold of her around the waist before pushing her against the ropes… PRESSING OFF AND LIFTING HER INTO A GERMAN SUPLEX DROPPING HER RIGHT DOWN ONTO THE TOP OF HER HEAD!
Gavin Kirkland: The sheer impact rolls him away from TLA as he quickly makes his way back up to his feet, heading over… but before he can it’s Ms. Extreme who manages to sidestep before grabbing him by the head and pushing him toward the ropes… BUT TLA LEAPS OFF OF THE ROPES AND PUSHES HIMSELF OFF RIGHT INTO A HUGE SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT WHICH DROPS HER RIGHT DOWN TO THE GROUND WHERE SHE STANDS! MS. EXTREME IS WIPED OUT AND TLA HAS THIS MATCH UNDER CONTROL RIGHT NOW!
Deadprez: But how long is that going to be for? We’ve seen both of these Elitists have waves of momentum in their corner, but their opponent seems to have them figured out. TLA has the high ground right now but I’m certain it won’t be long before Ms. Extreme finds her way back into the fold. Ms. Extreme is down but manages to grab a hold of the ropes as she pulls herself toward them. She uses them to then push herself back up to her feet as she leans against them for a moment for stability. TLA is right back up as he sees this and rushes forward… BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A HUGE BOOT TO SEND HER OVER THE TOP ROPE!
Eve: Ms. Extreme lands hard on the apron as she’s hurt right now and she knows that she doesn’t have a lot of time. TLA steps back toward the center of the ring and it seems like he has his eyes on something as he watches Ms. Extreme begin to make her way up closely. She tries to get back into the ring but before she can it seems like TLA has other plans…
Gavin Kirkland: AS HE LEAPS ONTO THE ROPES AND SPRINGBOARDS OFF ONTO THE SHOULDERS OF MS. EXTREME, LOOKING TO SEND HER OFF THE APRON AND TO THE FLOOR WITH A HURRICANRANA!
Deadprez: NO! NO! MS. EXTREME COUNTERS AS SHE KEEPS A HOLD OF HIM BEFORE PUSHING OFF AND SLAMMING HIM DOWN TO THE RINGSIDE MAT WITH A HUGE POWERBOMB OFF THE APRON!
(The crowd comes alive as they know this could be a turning point in the match. TLA is completely out of it and while Ms. Extreme is hurt herself, she has a fiery look in her eyes as she slowly begins to heave herself back up to her feet despite the pain that surely has to be coursing through her body right now at a rapid rate. In matches like these opportunities don’t come this often, and eachtime you have to make the best of it and that is exactly what the newly inducted Hall of Famer looks to do as she grabs a hold of him.)
Eve: Ms. Extreme is rolling him back into the ring and it looks like if there is anytime to close this match then it’s right now as she makes her way back in herself. TLA is slowly rising back up and it’s clear right now that he has no idea what’s coming his way! Ms. Extreme sets him up…
Gavin Kirkland: BEFORE LEAPING UP AND GOING FOR ‘HOLY GROUND’! LEAPING DOUBLE FOOT STOMP TO COMPLETELY WIPE OUT TLA!
Deadprez: CAUGHT!
Eve: TLA JUST IN TIME MANAGES TO GO UNDER AND LIFT MS. EXTREME UP ONTO HIS SHOULDERS BEFORE ‘HOLY GROUND’ CAN CONNECT, BARELY MANAGING TO COME TO HIS SENSES AS HE USES HIS LAST BIT OF EXHAUST TO PUSH HIM THROUGH! TLA ISN’T JUST GOING FOR ANYTHING THOUGH AS HE SLOWLY MAKES HIS WAY TOWARD THE EDGE OF THE RING…
Gavin Kirkland: BEFORE BOUNCING MS. EXTREME OFF OF THE ROPES AND SPINNING AROUND INTO A HUGE SITOUT POWERBOMB THAT CONNECTS! TLA TURNS ‘HOLY GROUND’ INTO ‘DESMADRE’ AS HE KEEPS HER SHOULDERS PINNED DOWN TO THE MAT AND DOES NOT WASTE ANYTIME GOING FOR THE PIN!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEE-
Deadprez: BUT MS. EXTREME SHOOTS THE SHOULDER UP JUST IN TIME!
(Once again we hear a sigh of relief from the crowd in the Camping World Stadium as this match rages on. Contrary to the reaction Ms. Extreme had, TLA is a lot more composed in regards to this situation. He’s exhausted and beaten, sure, but he’s been here before. He’s fought for World Championships and he’s won World Championships just as his opponent has, this is nothing new to him nor is the spotlight of Pain For Pride either.)
Eve: TLA rolls himself toward the edge of the ring and uses the ropes to get himself back up, meanwhile Ms. Extreme is finding it hard to recover right now considering all that she’s gone through and the huge move that TLA just countered her finisher with. Now TLA looks to keep the momentum going as he heads over and begins to make his way up to the top rope. Scaling up as the crowd is on their feet, knowing exactly what he has in mind right now while he does! Ms. Extreme is completely out of it and has not moved a muscle since the kickout, and TLA knows just as well as everyone else that this is the perfect opportunity!
Gavin Kirkland: AS HE LEAPS OFF FOR A ‘BURNOUT’ ATTEMPT-
Deadprez: BUT MS. EXTREME WAS PLAYING POSSUM! SHE SHOOTS UP TO HER FEET AND NAILS TLA WITH A HARD FOREARM TO THE FACE! TLA is stunned and she’s using this opportunity while she can to continue to lay into him with absolutely relentless shots right now! Ms. Extreme continuing to dig into her ruthless side right now as TLA is absolutely limp on the top rope, ripe for the taking as she begins to make her way up as well.
Eve: Both of them find themselves in the high-rent district and Ms. Extreme is the one with the upper hand right now and she knows it! She grabs a hold of TLA and looks to go for a big move right now… AS SHE LIFTS HIM OFF AND TRIES FOR A SUPERPLEX!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT TLA MANAGES TO DROP HIS WEIGHT AND KEEP HIMSELF ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE BEFORE SLIPPING OUT OF THE HOLD THAT SHE HAS ON HIM! TLA now begins to send shots toward the face of Ms. Extreme, not looking to give in just easily to whatever she has in mind for him! BUT BEFORE HE CAN GO ANY FURTHER THAN THAT, SHE REELS HER HEAD BACK AND CRACKS HIM AGAINST THE SKULL WITH A HEADBUTT! This is not going well for Ms. Extreme and she knows it as she turns to a desperate move to get herself back on track, as TLA rears back, trying to keep himself up on the turnbuckles while he can…
Deadprez: BUT TLA SHOOTS BACK UP AND CONNECTS WITH A ‘VERY MEXICAN UPPERCUT’ RIGHT TO HER JAW! THIS STOPS MS. EXTREME IN HER TRACKS AND IT’S NOT LOOKING GOOD!
Eve: WAIT! MS. EXTREME POWERS THROUGH IT THOUGH AS SHE NAILS HIM WITH A PUNCH TO THE HEAD BEFORE PULLING HIM INTO A FRONT FACELOCK! SOMEHOW MANAGING TO COME ALIVE DESPITE THE ATTACK…
Gavin Kirkland: BEFORE PULLING BOTH HER AND TLA OFF THE TOP ROPPE WITH AN AVALANCHE ‘TWIST OF FATE’! THE SPINNING NECKBREAKER CONNECTS AS BOTH COMPETITORS IN THIS MATCH ARE SENT CRASHING OFF OF THE TOP ROPE AND TO THE CANVAS AND THE CROWD IS ON THEIR FEET TONIGHT IN ORLANDO! MS. EXTREME’S GOT IT!
Deadprez: BUT SHE CAN’T CAPITALIZE! LOOK HOW MUCH THAT BACK AND FORTH ON THE TOP ROPE TOOK OUT OF HER!
(Even though TLA is barely moving from that, it’s clear that Ms. Extreme despite being the one who initiated the attack is still in pretty bad shape. She’s a ways away from TLA right now and is unable to take advantage of the situation. Despite that though, she manages to clutch onto the body of TLA and heave him onto his back, before gingerly hooking the leg and trying for the pin attempt in spite of that, hoping that her efforts will be enough.)
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
Eve: BUT TLA WAS GIVEN ENOUGH OF A WINDOW OF TIME TO RECOVER AS HE SHOOTS THE SHOULDER UP JUST BEFORE THE COUNT OF THREE! HE MANAGES TO KEEP HIS CHANCES IN THIS MATCH ALIVE AND MS. EXTREME IS ABSOLUTELY IN DISBELIEF ABOUT THIS RIGHT NOW!
(Ms. Extreme runs her hands down her face while she falls back onto the canvas. That was her best opportunity yet and even then TLA was still able to kick out of that. It’s clear that she’s unhappy about that, and this match continuing further with no sign of the finish line is not a very good sight for her. The fatigue continues to beat her down and it’s only a matter of time before it starts to get the better of her… but it’s been long established that no matter what, no matter the circumstances, Ms. Extreme leaves her all in the ring and especially at Pain For Pride that was something that she was willing to do.)
Gavin Kirkland: MS. EXTREME SHOOTS BACK UP TO HER FEET LIKE SHE JUST CAME RIGHT OUT OF A CANNON AND SHE RUNS TO THE ROPES AND BACK…BEFORE NAILING TLA WITH A LEG DROP WHILE HE’S STILL DOWN ON THE MAT! SHE QUICKLY RUSHES BACK UP BEFORE HEADING TO THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE RING… FOLLOWING THAT UP AS SHE CONNECTS WITH A SECOND LEG DROP!
Deadprez: That certainly woke TLA up as he stumbles back up to his feet, trying to get back into this… BUT MS. EXTREME GOES UNDER AND TAKES HER DOWN TO THE GROUND BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A FLURRY OF PUNCHES HIS WAY! MS. EXTREME IS BACK TO HER SHEER AGGRESSIVENESS IN THE MOMENT AS SHE LOOKS TO ABSOLUTELY TEAR TLA APART RIGHT NOW!
Eve: BUT TLA QUICKLY SPINS IT AROUND AS HE FLIPS HER ONTO HER BACK BEFORE CONNECTING WITH SOME PUNCHES OF HIS OWN, NOT LOOKING TO LEAVE EMPTYHANDED IN THIS ATTACK! HE THEN PUSHES AWAY AND GETS BACK UP TO HIS FEET, MS. EXTREME PUSHES HERSELF UP TO A SEATED POSITION… BUT TLA LEAPS INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTS WITH DOUBLE KNEES TO THE FACE TO COMPLETELY TAKE HER OUT FROM THERE!
Gavin Kirkland: TLA has been taking the brunt of the offense so far but he’s found his opening and he’s managed to get himself back into this. Ms. Extreme uses the ropes and tries to get back up, AS TLA ONCE AGAIN TRIES TO SEND HER OVER THE TOP ROPE- BUT MS. EXTREME JUST IN TIME CONNECTS WITH A BOOT TO THE FACE WHICH ABSOLUTELY ROCKS HIM! THIS GIVES HER ENOUGH OF A WINDOW OF TIME TO CLOSE IN ON TLA AND RUSH FORWARD TO CONNECT WITH A CLOTHESLINE ATTEMPT-
Deadprez: BUT TLA MANAGES TO DUCK UNDER THAT AS MS. EXTREME TURNS AROUND RIGHT INTO ANOTHER ‘CARTEL KICK’ ATTEMPT! PELE KICK RIGHT TO THE FACE OUT OF NOWHERE!
Eve: BUT MS. EXTREME MANAGES TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY OF THAT BEFORE IT CAN CONNECT! TLA LANDS ON HIS KNEES AS HE TRIES HIS BEST TO RECOVER… BUT MS. EXTREME STEPS BACK AND TRIES TO CONNECT WITH A SUPERKICK STRAIGHT TO HIS FACE FROM THERE- BUT TLA MANAGES TO GRAB A HOLD OF THE LEG JUST IN TIME AND SWEEP IT OUT FROM UNDER HER! TLA THEN TAKES A STEP BACK AND LOOKS TO FOLLOW THAT UP!
Gavin Kirkland: CONNECTING WITH A STANDING SHOOTING STAR PRESS! ‘420’ CONNECTS ON THE SECOND ATTEMPT AND TLA IS QUICK TO HOOK THE LEG AND TRY FOR THE PIN WHILE MS. EXTREME IS DOWN!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEE-
Deadprez: BUT MS. EXTREME KICKS OUT-
Eve: SHE SHOOTS HER SHOULDER UP BUT MS. EXTREME GRABS HER BY THE WRIST AND YANKS HER UP TO HER FEET BEFORE PULLING HER IN! HE KNEW THAT SHE WAS GOING TO KICK OUT OF THAT AND TRANSITIONS AS HE FOLLOWS UP…
Gavin Kirkland: GOING FOR A ‘MEXICAN DESTROYER’ TO MS. EXTREME! THE FLIP PILEDRIVER TO PUT AN EXCLAMATION POINT ON THIS MATCH!
Deadprez: BUT MS. EXTREME SCURRIES UNDER TLA AND FROM BEHIND ROLLS HIM UP INTO A SCHOOL GIRL PIN ATTEMPT! LOOKING TO STEAL THIS MATCH RIGHT FROM UNDER HIS NOSE WHILE SHE CAN!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEE!!!!!
Eve: BUT TLA MANAGES TO KICK OUT OF THAT! HE QUICKLY GETS BACK UP TO HIS FEET, REALIZING THE SITUATION THAT HE’S IN RIGHT NOW-
Gavin Kirkland: BUT MS. EXTREME SHOOTS UP TO HER FEET AS WELL AND VERTICAL JUMPS INTO THE AIR FOR A ‘HOLY GROUND’ ATTEMPT!
Deadprez: BUT TLA ONCE AGAIN MANAGES TO CATCH HER UP ONTO HIS SHOULDERS AS HE LOOKS TO CONNECT WITH LA A POWERBOMB!
Eve: BUT MS. EXTREME FLIPS OVER AND CONNECTS WITH A ‘CODE RED’! SHE COUNTERS WITH THE SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMB BUT SHE IMMEDIATELY LETS GO AND PULLS HIM WITH HER, GRABBING A HOLD OF HIS LEGS AND LOCKING THEM IN A GRAPEVINE BEFORE REARING HER UPPER BODY BACK!
Gavin Kirkland: SHE TURNS IT INTO THE ‘AVA LOCK’! THE MODIFIED STF IS LOCKED IN AND TLA IS BARELY HANGING ON AS THE SUBMISSION HOLD IS IN!
Deadprez: TLA MANAGED TO GET OUT OF THE ‘HOLY GROUND’ BUT MS. EXTREME LEARNS FROM HER MISTAKES, AS SHE FOLLOWS IT UP WITH A STELLAR COUNTER AND NOW THE SUBMISSION HOLD IS LOCKED IN! TLA KNOWS THE TROUBLE THAT HE’S IN RIGHT NOW AS HE WAVES HIS ARMS AROUND, TRYING TO FIND A WAY TO GET HIMSELF OUT OF THIS BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE!
Eve: BUT THEY’RE EAT THE DEAD CENTER OF THE RING RIGHT NOW AND THIS IS THE PERFECT OPPORTUNITY FOR MS. EXTREME TO CLOSE THIS MATCH OFF! SHE KNOWS THAT SHE’S INCHES AWAY FROM BECOMING THE NEW ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION, ALL SHE NEEDS IS FOR TLA TO BE COMPLETELY DONE IN THIS MATCH, AND IT DOESN’T LOOK LIKE SOMETHING THAT HE WANTS TO DO!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT HE LOOKS LIKE HE MIGHT NOT HAVE A CHOICE WITH THE ‘AVA LOCK’ SUBMISSION IN! WILL HE TAP OUT RIGHT HERE?!
(…)
(…)
(…)
Deadprez: NO! NO! TLA SHIFTS HIS BODY WEIGHT OVER AND USES THE REMAINING BIT OF STRENGTH THAT HE HAS LEFT TO ROLL MS. EXTREME OVER AND PIN HER SHOULDERS DOWN TO THE MAT! THE REFEREE IS QUICK TO SLIDE DOWN AND START THE COUNT!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
Eve: BUT MS. EXTREME QUICKLY KICKS OUT AND IS FORCED TO RELEASE THE HOLD MOMENTARILY! SHE MANAGES TO GET HERSELF OUT OF THAT AS SHE TRIES TO LOCK IN THE HOLD AGAIN- BUT TLA MANAGES TO CONNECT WITH AN ELBOW TO THE FACE THAT STOPS HER AND LOOK!
Gavin Kirkland: WAIT! LOOK WHAT’S HAPPENING! MS. EXTREME IS TRYING TO SQUIRM OUT BUT TLA STILL HAS A HOLD OF HER AS HE MANEUVERS AROUND! HE’S TURNING IT INTO SOMETHING…
Deadprez: ‘CROSSED PATHS’! ‘CROSSED PATHS’! THE LA MISTICA VARIATION IS LOCKED IN AS HE PULLS BACK ON WRIST OF MS. EXTREME WHILE SHE CRIES IN PAIN! THIS IS NOT AT ALL WHAT SHE EXPECTED TO HAPPEN RIGHT NOW AS TLA IS DOING WHATEVER HE CAN IN ORDER TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS SITUATION!
Eve: JUST MOMENTS AGO, TLA WAS ABOUT TO SUCCUMB TO THE ‘AVA LOCK’, BUT SOMEHOW HE MANAGED TO TURN THAT AROUND AND FLIP THE TABLES AS ‘CROSSED PATHS’ IS LOCKED IN AT THE CENTER OF THE RING! MS. EXTREME KNOWS THAT SHE CAN’T LET THIS BE IT! SHE KNOWS THAT THIS CAN’T BE OVER RIGHT NOW BUT IN ORDER TO MAKE SURE THAT’S THE CASE SHE’S GOING TO HAVE TO FIND HER WAY OUT OF THIS AND QUICKLY!
Gavin Kirkland: MS. EXTREME IS SQUIRMING AROUND AS SHE DID NOT AT ALL EXPECT FOR THE TABLES TO BE TURNED AROUND ON HER, AND JUST LIKE HER SUBMISSION COULD’VE BEEN THE END OF THE MATCH, THIS COULD VERY WELL BE IT TOO! IS SHE GOING TO GIVE IN RIGHT HERE?!
(…)
(…)
(…)
Deadprez: NO! SHE BRINGS HER ARM BACK AND GRABS A HOLD OF THE HEAD OF TLA! SHE ROLLS HIM OVER AS SHE ATTEMPTS TO LOCK IN WHAT LOOKS TO BE A CAPTAIN’S HOOK SUBMISSION ON HIM AS A COUNTER!
Eve: BUT TLA SLIPS HIS HEAD OUT AND MANAGES TO ESCAPE OUT OF IT JUST IN TIME! MS. EXTREME IS BACK UP TO HER FEET… AS TLA SPINS AROUND AND CONNECTS WITH A HARD BACK ELBOW WHICH SENDS HER STAGGERING BACK TOWARD ONE OF THE CORNERS! TLA THEN FOLLOWS THAT UP BY LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND NAILING HER WITH A FLYING FOREARM-
Gavin Kirkland: BUT MS. EXTREME MOVES OUT OF THE WAY OF THAT JUST IN TIME! TLA IS BACKED UP INTO THE CORNER INSTEAD AS MS. EXTREME NAILS A BACK ELBOW TO THE FACE THAT LEAVES HIM COMPLETELY ROCKED! She then grabs a hold of him from the arm and sends him to the opposite corner across the ring, looking to get a running start… AS SHE RUSHES FORWARD- JUST FOR TLA TO LIFT HIS BOOT UP AND NAIL HER WITH A COUNTER TO THE FACE!
Deadprez: TLA then grabs Ms. Extreme by the head and flips her around back into the corner, stumbling backward and trying to collect himself before rushing forward… BUT BEFORE HE CAN IT’S MS. EXTREME THAT CATCHES HIM AND LIFTS HIM UP INTO THE AIR, SENDING HIM OVER THE ROPES AND TO THE OUTSIDE-
Eve: BUT TLA MANAGES TO WRAP HIS LEGS AROUND THE HEAD OF MS. EXTREME BEFORE SPINNING AROUND… WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!
Gavin Kirkland: IT LOOKS LIKE TLA JUST CONNECTED WITH A TORNADO ‘MEXICAN DESTROYER’ TO MS. EXTREME! HE SPUN HIMSELF AROUND AND TURNED IT INTO A FLIP PILEDRIVER!
Deadprez: THE CROWD HERE IN ORLANDO TONIGHT IS GOING ABSOLUTELY BERSERK FOR THAT AND TLA IS QUICK TO LUNGE FORWARD AND HOOK THE LEG! SEEING THE OPPORTUNITY BEFORE HIM AND GOING FOR THE PIN!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!!!

Eve: NO! THE REFEREE STOPS! THEY STOP THE COUNT AND POINT OUT TO TLA THAT MS. EXTREME HAS HER FOOT ON THE BOTTOM ROPE! SHE JUST BARELY MANAGED TO SAVE HERSELF IN THIS MATCH, WITH THIS ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP BOUT CONTINUING, AND TLA IS IN SHOCK!
(TLA slowly slouches down to the ground as the realization hits that somehow, Ms. Extreme managed to force her way back into this match. Even after everything, with both of these Elitists throwing out every big move in their arsenal and more, constantly improvising and beating out one another, it seems like, once again, that there would be absolutely no end to this match no matter how much both of them wanted it to.)
Gavin Kirkland: At this point I’m even questioning myself if this match is going to end. But I can’t blame them for going the distance and further! This is the first Latino Pain For Pride main event in EAW history in case you didn’t know!
Deadprez: It sounds weird when you say it.
Gavin Kirkland: What? I can’t have pride in my culture? :blessed:
Eve: Well regardless I don’t know what it’s going to take to keep both of them down, I agree. Ms. Extreme isn’t even moving and TLA is barely able to come to his senses after the kick out occurred. One thing we know for certain is that this match is still in full swing, and whatever is going to end up being the deciding factor is going to have to be a big one from either one of these Elitists! I personally don’t know what’s going to do them in, and by the look on his face, I don’t think TLA does either! TLA is slowly rising back up to his feet, but at the same time it looks like Ms. Extreme is somehow miraculously gaining her bearings back as well! I think if there’s anything that’s been established, it’s the fact that we’ve reached the final inning and both of these Elitists know it!
Gavin Kirkland: AND HERE WE GO! BOTH ELITISTS ARE GOING BACK AND FORTH NOW AS THEY TRADE SHOTS REPEATEDLY WITH EACH OTHER! TLA! MS. EXTREME! TLA! MS. EXTREME! TLA! MS. EXTREME! TLA! MS. EXTREME! TLA! BUT MS. EXTREME IS BEGINNING TO GET THE UPPER HAND AS SHE BREAKS THROUGH AND BEGINS TO SEND SOME HARD STRIKES HIS WAY! TLA IS ON THE DEFENSIVE AS HE’S PUSHED AGAINST THE ROPES AND MS. EXTREME IS QUICK TO GRAB HIM BY THE ARM AND SEND HIM TO THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE RING… BEFORE LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND NAILING HIM WITH A FLYING FOREARM!
Deadprez: TLA IS QUICK TO GET BACK UP TO HIS FEET, BUT MS. EXTREME GOES AROUND AND CONNECTS WITH A SPINNING ROUNDHOUSE KICK WHICH SENDS HIM TO THE ROPES! TLA REBOUNDS… JUST FOR HER TO LEAP INTO THE AIR AND NAIL HIM WITH A JUMPING KNEE STRIKE STRAIGHT TO THE FACE! THEN MS. EXTREME TURNS AROUND AND RUNS TO THE ROPES… JUST FOR TLA TO CATCH HER AS SHE COMES BACK AROUND WITH A FOREARM SMASH RIGHT TO THE FACE TO TAKE HER DOWN TO THE MAT!
Eve: TLA now has his eyes set on finishing the job here as he grabs Ms. Extreme by the arm and brings her back up to her feet, before sending her to the ropes and looking to close out!
Gavin Kirkland: TLA POPS HER UP OFF THE GROUND AND LOOKS TO CATCH HER AS SHE COMES DOWN WITH THE ‘VERY MEXICAN UPPERCUT’!
(…)
Deadprez: ‘HOLY GROUND’!
Eve: MS. EXTREME COMES DOWN AND CAVES HIS CHEST IN WITH THE DOUBLE FOOT STOMP! TLA IS DOWN AND MS. EXTREME QUICKLY HOOKS THE LEG! IT’S OVER! IT’S OVER!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: TLA KICKED OUT! TLA KICKED OUT OF ‘HOLY GROUND’!
(Ms. Extreme sits up in disbelief as she looks around at the crowd going absolutely wild for this right now. She shakes her head as she slams the mat in frustration before rising back up to her feet.)
Deadprez: I think we can all admit that in situations like these there is only so much that you can do in order to finish the job, and what’s running through Ms. Extreme’s mind right now is what I could only imagine to be anguish and frustration. TLA is completely out of it, but somehow he managed to come to his senses and kick out of that and I’m sure right now what is running through Ms. Extreme’s head right now is what is it going to take in order to close this match out for good?
Eve: Well it looks like we’re going to find out just how far these Elitists are willing to go as a hurt Ms. Extreme is slowly rising back up. TLA is slowly beginning to stir and even though that is the case that’s not going to do much for him if he’s unable to turn this around by the time this match comes to a close. Ms. Extreme immediately grabs him, slamming him against the corner and wasting no time beginning to lay into him with repeated strikes to the face!
Gavin Kirkland: TLA is trying his best to fight back but ‘Holy Ground’ took too much out of him! The only thing that he can possibly do is be on the defensive and wait for the right moment to strike! Ms. Extreme grabs her by the head before sending him toward the center of the ring… LEAPING THROUGH THE AIR AND NAILING HIM WITH A SHOTGUN DROPKICK THAT SENDS TLA BARRELING TOWARD THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE RING!
Deadprez: TLA bounces off of the bottom turnbuckle but manages to stumble up to his feet, not looking to give up here, BUT IT’S MS. EXTREME THAT CONNECTS WITH A KICK TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD THAT LEAVES HIM ROCKED! She then turns around and runs to the ropes and back… BUT TLA MANAGES TO RECOVER JUST IN TIME AND SWING- NO! MS. EXTREME DUCKS UNDER THAT BEFORE LEAPING UP AND GRABBING THE HEAD OF TLA, TRYING TO SPIKE HIM DOWN WITH A JUMPING DDT-
Eve: BUT TLA MANAGES TO KEEP MS. EXTREME IN THE AIR BEFORE SHOVING HER AWAY! MS. EXTREME IS TAKEN DOWN TO THE GROUND MOMENTARILY BUT TRIES HER BEST TO GET UP TO HER FEET… ONLY TO BE MET BY TLA WHO LEAPS OFF OF THE ROPES AND TWISTS AROUND BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A SPRINGBOARD CROSSBODY WHICH ABSOLUTELY FLOORS HER!
Gavin Kirkland: TLA then rises back up to his feet, and he knows that he quickly forced himself back into this match right now and needs to make sure that it stays that way in the process. He begins to make his way over to her… BUT BEFORE HE CAN DO ANYTHING IT’S MS. EXTREME THAT MANAGES TO SIDE STEP JUST IN TIME AND SEND HIM THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE AND OUT OF THE RING! TLA lands on the apron and manages to get up, ONLY FOR MS. EXTREME TO ATTEMPT AND CONNECT WITH A SHOULDER THRUST TO THE ABDOMEN TO TRY AND KNOCK HIM OFF-
Deadprez: BUT TLA MANAGES TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY OF THAT! HE TAKES A STEP BACK BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A KICK STRAIGHT TO THE FACE OF MS. EXTREME TO FORCE HER HEAD BACK INTO THE RING! Ms. Extreme is hurt, BUT SHE QUICKLY TRIES TO SWING AT HIM AGAIN- BUT TLA MANAGES TO DUCK UNDER THAT BEFORE LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTING WITH A ROPE-ASSISTED ENZUIGIRI STRAIGHT TO THE FACE WHICH SENDS HER STUMBLING OFF TO THE SIDE!
Eve: Ms. Extreme is forced to catch herself on the ropes as the fatigue is once again continuing to beat her down in this match. It’s clear that she’s feeling the effects of this one and in order to get herself out of this she’s going to have to think of something and fast! But TLA has his eye on the prize as he’s still on the apron, looking to make good on the situation that he has going for him, but what is he doing…
Gavin Kirkland: TLA RUSHES FORWARD AND SWINGS AROUND THE RINGPOST BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A ‘305’! A RINGPOST VARIATION OF THE TIGER FEINT KICK STRAIGHT TO THE FACE OF MS. EXTREME COMPLETELY TAKES HER OUT! TLA manages to connect with that and keep himself on the apron in the process as Ms. Extreme is completely out right now! You can tell that this is a crucial moment if TLA wants to make something happen, and it looks like he is!
Deadprez: AS HE LEAPS OFF AND GOES FOR A SPRINGBOARD ‘420’! THE SHOOTING STAR PRESS TO MS. EXTREME!
Eve: NO! NO! HOW THE HELL DID SHE DO THAT! MS. EXTREME GETS UP TO HER FEET AND JUST AS TLA ROTATES AROUND SHE MANAGES TO CATCH HIM IN THE AIR AND DRIVE HIM DOWN WITH THE KNOCKOUT SLAM! ANOTHER ‘RED QUEEN’S RAMPAGE’ TO TLA TO COMPLETELY TAKE HIM OUT!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT MS. EXTREME ISN’T DONE WITH IT EITHER! SHE LIFTS HIM BACK UP WITH SHEER UPPER BODY STRENGTH AND WILLPOWER… BEFORE SLAMMING HIM DOWN FOR A SECOND ‘RED QUEEN’S RAMPAGE’ TO TAKE HIM OUT! TLA IS BARELY HOLDING ON FROM THIS BUT MS. EXTREME IS NOT LETTING GO EITHER! THIS CAN ONLY MEAN ONE THING AS MS. EXTREME LIFTS HIM UP AGAIN…
Deadprez: A THIRD ‘RED QUEEN’S RAMPAGE’ TO TLA COMPLETELY WIPES HIM OUT AND MS. EXTREME COLLAPSES DOWN TO THE MAT IN EXHAUSTION! TLA WAS SO CLOSE TO WINNING WITH THAT FLURRY OF MOVES BUT EVEN THEN IT WAS MS. EXTREME WHO MANAGED TO PULL THROUGH IN SPITE OF THAT AND MANAGED TO MAKE THIS MATCH HER OWN ONE MORE TIME! PRAYING THAT THIS WILL BE ENOUGH IN ORDER TO FINISH THE JOB!
(Ms. Extreme rolls onto her back as the crowd continues to rally behind not just her, but both Elitists as this match goes on. This has already been great, and both have proven that they’re willing to do just about anything in order to make sure that they finish the job here. But Ms. Extreme is running through her mind the amount of options that she has right now, and they’re beginning to slim down the more TLA survives and continues to will himself through. The dedication of both of them is very telling of what the theme of this match has been.)
Eve: Ms. Extreme and TLA have both been laying it all on the line, but even then it seems like it hasn’t been enough. But the way that Ms. Extreme is looking at him it looks like that if she wants anything to finish the match, then it’s this.
Gavin Kirkland: :lupe:
Deadprez: TLA is barely stirring as Ms. Extreme begins to stomp down at him, not in any sort of rush but seemingly starting to wear him down as she has something in mind. What could she possibly be doing right now? :lupe:
Eve: WELL SHE’S MAKING HER WAY OVER AND GRABBING THE LEG OF TLA ONE MORE TIME! AND IT LOOKS LIKE SHE’S GOING TO GO TO THE WELL AGAIN WITH THE ‘AVA LOCK’!
Gavin Kirkland: No, no, that’s not what she’s going for right now…
Deadprez: # ‘BAD BLOOD’!
Eve: MS. EXTREME HAS THE LEG OF TLA AS SHE LIFTS IT UP OFF THE GROUND WITH SOME MONUMENTAL STRENGTH AND ATTEMPTS TO LOCK IN THE STRETCH MUFFLER! REMEMBER THAT SHE HAS TO GO BACK DOWN AND LOCK IT INTO A GRAPEVINE IF SHE WANTS TO USE IT TO ITS FULL CAPABILITIES RIGHT NOW! BUT MS. EXTREME IS LIFTING TLA OFF THE GROUND!
Gavin Kirkland: WAIT! TLA STRETCHED OUT HIS ARMS AND GRABBED AT THE ROPES BEFORE YANKING HIMSELF TOWARD HIM! THE WAVERING STRENGTH OF MS. EXTREME FORCES A RELEASE AS TLA NARROWLY AVOIDS TROUBLE AND DRAGS HIMSELF ONTO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE THANKS TO THE ELEVATED POSITION THAT HE WAS IN! MS. EXTREME TRIES TO ATTACK- BUT TLA USES HIS BOOT TO FORCE HER DOWN TO THE GROUND AND HE STANDS UP…
Deadprez: HE’S GOING FOR ‘BURNOUT’!
Eve: BUT IN A SPLIT SECOND, ME. EXTREME FALLS AGAINST THE ROPES AND SHAKES IT, CAUSING TLA TO LOSE HIS BALANCE AND DROP DOWN TO A SEATED POSITION ON THE TURNBUCKLES! MS. EXTREME LUNGES UP ONTO THE TURNBUCKLES AND BEGINS TO SEND STRIKES RAINING DOWN ON THE HEAD OF TLA! MS. EXTREME IS NOT LETTING UP FOR A MOMENT AND SHE KNOWS JUST HOW CRUCIAL THIS SITUATION IS FOR HER! TLA IS STUNNED AS MS. EXTREME GRABS HIM BY THE HEAD!
Gavin Kirkland: SHE’S ABOUT TO SEND HIM OFF OF THE TOP ROPE!
Deadprez: BUT TLA MANAGES TO COME BACK TO LIFE AS HE NAILS MS. EXTREME WITH A ‘VERY MEXICAN UPPERCUT’! MS. EXTREME IS ROCKED AND TLA ISN’T DONE! ANOTHER UPPERCUT! AGAIN! AGAIN! AGAIN! AGAIN!
Eve: TLA GRABS A HOLD OF MS. EXTREME BY THE HEAD AND PULLS HER IN! WHAT IS HE THINKING RIGHT HERE?! No…
Gavin Kirkland: # ‘VERY MEXICAN DESTROYER’!
Deadprez: THE AVALANCHE FLIP PILEDRIVER COMPLETELY WIPES OUT MS. EXTREME! MS. EXTREME IS OUT OF IT AND TLA THROWS HIMSELF OVER HER! THIS IS IT! WE HAVE A NEW ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘Ambitionz az a Ridah’ begins to play through the speakers of the arena as the Camping World Stadium crowd in Orlando tonight go absolutely berserk. They’re on their feet as TLA collapses completely down to the ground, disheveled and exhausted. Excitement is shown all around as this moment is cemented in EAW history, but right now it’s clear that both of these Elitists are bearing the wounds of this match.)
Gina Romano: Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner… AND NEW!!!!!!!!!! ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! T!!!!!!!!!!! L!!!!!!!!!!! A!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Eve: FOR THE SECOND TIME IN HIS CAREER, TLA HAS CAPTURED THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP! AND NOW BECOMING A THREE-TIME WORLD CHAMPION, ‘LA PANTERA SEXUAL’ ONLY ADDS TO HIS LEGACY TONIGHT AS IN THE MAIN EVENT OF PAIN FOR PRIDE!
Gavin Kirkland: ABWOWNWLFBELQNQLDNQOANWOWNWLSNEOWNSOWNAOANWOWNAMW JQVAISS
Deadprez: IN THE FIRST LATINO PAIN FOR PRIDE MAIN EVENT, WE SAW AN ABSOLUTE WAR HERE TONIGHT! TWO OF THE BEST ON SATURDAY NIGHT SHOWDOWN GOING AT IT IN A MATCH TO BE REMEMBERED! BUT WHEN IT WAS ALL SAID AND DONE, IT WAS TLA WHO WENT THE DISTANCE! NOW HE ADDS ANOTHER TITLE TO HIS HALL OF FAME CAREER!
(TLA is back up to his feet as the referee is seen handing him the Answers World Championship, and even through the exhaustion, nothing can hide the pure joy on his face as he takes the title and raises it into the air, giving a battle cry while he does.)
Eve: Having gone through a mid-Season acquisition to the Showdown brand, that never stopped TLA. He kept the ball rolling and still put his best foot forward and that’s what got him here! To this all too familiar position on the top of the Saturday Night Showdown totem pole, where he can once again call himself an Answers World Champion! What a moment!
(Ms. Extreme is seen on the outside of the ring as she is being checked on by officials who are concerned for her wellbeing after such a match. She looks into the ring, a displeased expression on her face having failed to finish the job tonight at Pain For Pride. But even then… it doesn’t conceal the small smile on her face as she watches this moment unfold.)
Gavin Kirkland: Make no mistake about it, Ms. Extreme was not here by any sort of whimsical means either. She DESERVES this opportunity without a shadow of a doubt! She earned this and she gets to relish in having a barnburner of a main event even if she didn’t come out on top. I have a feeling this is only the beginning for the newly inducted Hall of Famer.
Deadprez: But this night belongs to none other than TLA who comes out the wreckage holding the Answers World Championship! What a Night One! What a main event! We’ll see you TOMORROW for Night Two! CONGRATULATIONS TO TLA!
(TLA is seen climbing up onto the barricade, as he launches himself into the crowd who welcome him with open arms. He surfs through Camping World Stadium with the Answers World Championship clutched closely to his chest, and pyro being seen erupting out from the stage while he does. It’s the last shot seen before Pain For Pride Kingdom, from there, begins to completely fade to black.)
(EAW logo buzzes.)
