Pain For Pride XVII – Day 2

(EAW Logo Flashes)

(Like the Day One Introduction, 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 Epcot Center we see none other than a familiar face and former Disney Star standing in front of the big ball known as Spaceship Earth.)

Narrator: We have seen the effects of Day One in the biggest event of all, that thankfully is in Orlando and not Saudi Arabia! With the first night in the books, the spectacular continues in night two. We saw the thrill of victory!

(The footage shows Hand Grayson holding up the Interwire Championship. Followed by Camera Ella Ava with the Hardcore Title deep within her grasp, finally TLA lifting the Answers World Championship over his head.)

Narrator: And of course, the agony of defeat.

(It transitions to see Drake Armstrong laying in the ring staring up at the lights upset. A bloody Roberto de la Rosa watching Cameron celebrate. Ms. Extreme sitting against the guardrail with tears in her eyes witnessing TLA hoisting up the Answers World Championship.

Narrator: But it was not all championship gold that was on the line, there was the search for respect.

(It slowly transitions to Joso pumping his chest as he just defeated one of the greatest of all time, then it has Kirk Redwood having his hands raised after he scored the victory over two former World Champions. Holly Arrow is seething and disappointed in anger while Harper Lee celebrates her huge win.)

Narrator: And while there were upsets and some huge wins, we also saw the road come to an end for two Hall of Famers.

(The footage shows Jack Ripley shaking the hand of Rex McAllister after his loss, he waves t the fans as they chant, “Thank You, Jack”. It then switches to Auburn Ware watching as she heads to the back Madison Kaline having a meltdown after she lost and must now retire from wrestling just before she was escorted out.)

Narrator: And now we reached Night two, where so much more will unfold. Will we see a new star emerge with an opportunity of a lifetime? More Champions fall at the wake of the defenses, or can they hold on to the gold they cherish so dearly?

(The Cash in the Vault briefcase is shown with all six competitors looking up at it. Then it has footage of last year’s 24/7 Battle Royal and then a flash of the participants in this one.)

Narrator: Can the road lead to the crowning of new champions, or will the ones who hold those titles remain?

(The footage shows Minerva, Charlie Marr, Myles, Veena Adams, Kasai, Michael Machina and The Jaded Hearts.)

Narrator: Or are the predators really the hungriest on the prey?

(It transitions to Milli Banks, Hikari Kanno, Jake Smith, Jamie O’Hara, Raven Roberts, Miku Sakai, BRAE, NICHOLISM, and The British Invasion.)

Narrator: Bad blood can only be solved in combat, right? Can love win out, or is this really the end?

(The footage transitions to Daryl Kinkade and Jon Kelton face to face. Brianna Hill and Valerie Hellstorm are shown, followed by Dr. Bethany Blue is seen screaming while Adam Lucas is ready to fight.)

Narrator: Will there be Hell on Earth, buried deep in the soil of Orlando? And is the journey for respect be enough to overcome the legendary status of those that paved the way to their own paths?

(Caroline smiles, as Solomon Stane is seen praying. Methuselah is shown, followed by Bronson Daniels, Cy Henderson and Limmy Monaghan.)

Narrator: Or can the Clash of Titans really have a true ending?

(Drake King and Andre Walker are seen looking at each other face to face.)

Narrator: We are about to find out…. Because this is PAIN FOR PRIDE: KINGDOM NIGHT TWO!

(Finally, the aerial coverage flies off Epcot Center 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 – NIGHT TWO!

(“Precision” by Big Sean starts to play throughout the arena as the aerial camera shows the sold out Camping World Stadium as the fireworks go off, the sun shines bright on a beautiful day in the stadium as the fans are on their feet. The camera pans to Dynasty’s Stew-O, Showdown’s Gavin Kirkland, and Voltage’s Persephone.)

Stew-O: EAW UNIVERSE! WE ARE HERE LIVE AT CAMPING WORLD STADIUM FOR NIGHT TWO OF PAIN FOR PRIDE: KINGDOM! I AM STEW-O, ACCOMPANIED BY SHOWDOWN’S OWN GAVIN KIRKLAND AND THE BEAUTIFUL VOLTAGE’S PERSEPHONE! WE ARE READY TO CONTINUE THE ACTION TONIGHT! WE CROWNED THREE NEW CHAMPIONS LAST NIGHT, THE INTERWIRE, THE HARDCORE, AND SHOWDOWN NOW HAS THEIR ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION!

Gavin Kirkland: AYYYYYYYEEEEE YAAAAA YAAAA YAAAA! TLA IS OUR NEW WORLD CHAMPION ON SHOWDOWN AND I AM SUPER EXCITED TO SEE WHAT WE HAVE TONIGHT BUT I KNOW THERE ARE PLENTY OF TITLES LEFT TO DEFEND, THREE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS, A UNIFIED TAG TEAM, NEW BREED, SPECIALIST, AND NATIONAL ELITE! AND SO MUCH MORE!

Persephone: I HOPE TONIGHT WE GET TO SEE SOMEONE BURIED ALIVE AND/OR A DIVORCE TAKE PLACE VIOLENTLY RIGHT BEFORE OUR EYES!

Stew-O: WELL… WITHOUT ANY FURTHER ADO, LET’S TAKE IT DOWN TO BELLA BRAXTON, BECAUSE THIS FIRST MATCH IS GOING TO START US OFF WITH A HUGE BANG!

(The graphics for the first match for Pain For Pride: Kingdom Night Two is shown.)

(The camera fades into a shot of the multiple Elitists from all three brands participating in the 24/7 Battle Royal. The ring is crammed with each competitor looking to prove themselves as the referee heads over to signal for the bell and for this match to begin.)

(DING! DING! DING!)

Gavin Kirkland: AND THE 24/7 BATTLE ROYAL IS OFFICIALLY UNDERWAY!!!

Persephone: LET’S GO LUIS! YOU GOT THIS BABY!

Stew-O: THINK AGAIN, SEPH! THE ENTIRE FIELD JUST GANGED UP ON LUIS DE LA ROSA AND THEY’RE BEATING HIM DOWN!

Persephone: :wtf: 16 VERSUS ONE IS NOT FAIR! WHAT DID LUIS DO TO DESERVE THIS?!

Gavin Kirkland: I mean…

Persephone: SHUT UP GAVIN! THESE IDIOTS ARE TRYING TO LUIS OUT OF THE BATTLE ROYALE AND I’M NOT ABOUT TO LET THAT HAPPEN!

(The sound of a headset being tossed to the ground can be heard.)

Gavin Kirkland: Now where in the hell is she going?!

Stew-O: PERSEPHONE! COME BACK TO THE BOOTH!

Gavin Kirkland: SOSA HENDERSON, RYAN WILSON, AND LT. COLONEL MICHAEL CONNOR ARE ALL GRABBING LUIS AS THE REST OF THE FIELD PAIRS OFF! ASHLYNN QUINN, MATTIAS BURKE, AND NIKKI KIMURA ARE BATTLING WITH ONE ANOTHER WHILE DANIELLA ATLAS, AJ REDDING, AKARI KIYOKO, AND DAMIEN KUTCHER START THROWING HANDS!

Stew-O: RONAN MALOSI HAS TAKEN A SEAT IN THE CORNER, CONTENT TO WATCH EVERYTHING UNFOLD, AND LOOK GAVIN! LUIS IS ABOUT TO GET THROWN OVER THE TOP ROPE!

Gavin Kirkland: PERSEPHONE IS SHRIEKING… BEGGING RYAN, SOSA, AND THE COLONEL NOT TO THROW HER BELOVED OUT OF THE RING BUT THEY DON’T SEEM TO WANT TO LISTEN! UP AND OVER! THERE GOES LUIS DE LA R-

Stew-O: NO! PERSEPHONE JUST CAUGHT HIM IN HER ARMS! LUIS’ FEET DID NOT HIT THE GROUND! HE IS STILL IN THIS MATCH EVEN THOUGH PERSEPHONE IS STRUGGLING TO HOLD ONTO HIM!

Gavin Kirkland: ANOTHER ELITIST IN DANGER OF GETTING ELIMINATED IS SHOWDOWN’S OWN HARDCORE LUNA! SHE IS CURRENTLY GOING AFTER CODY MAVERICK AND SHISUI TATEGAMI BUT THINGS DON’T SEEM TO BE GOING WELL FOR HER!

Stew-O: PERSEPHONE SOMEHOW GETS LUIS TO THE STEPS AND HE SLIPS BACK INTO THE RING! LUIS IS STILL ALIVE IN THIS MATCH AND IT’S THANKS TO OUR BROADCAST COLLEAGUE!

Gavin Kirkland: LUIS RACES OVER TO LUNA AND LOOKS TO HELP HER OUT, BUT HE ATTACKS CODY! LUIS PUNCHES CODY IN THE HEAD BUT CODY RESPONDS WITH A KNEE TO THE GUT! BOTH MEN ARE HAMMERING AWAY ON EACH OTHER, AND SHISUI HAS MANAGED TO DUMP LUNA OVER THE TOP ROPE!

Persephone: (out of breath) DID SEE HOW I SAVED LUIS?! HE’S STILL IN THE MATCH!

Stew-O: Yes, now sit down and don’t do that again.

Gavin Kirkland: HARDCORE LUNA WITH A SHOULDER CATCHING SHISUI IN THE STOMACH, AND SOSA JUST PULLED SHISUI BACK, LEAPS IN THE AIR, AND NAILS HARDCORE LUNA RIGHT IN THE HEAD!!!

Bella Braxton: HARDCORE LUNA HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!!!

Persephone: SOSA GRABS SHISUI AND LOOKS TO DUMP HIM OVER THE ROPE TOO, BUT HERE COMES THE COLONEL! COLONEL CONNOR SAVES SHISUI AND STARTS PUNCHING SOSA! THESE TWO HAD A LITTLE RUN-IN ON VOLTAGE A FEW WEEKS AGO WHEN SOSA WAS BACKSTAGE VISITING AND I HAD A FEELING THESE TWO WOULD FIND THEMSELVES BATTLING IT OUT!

Stew-O: SOMEONE WE HAVEN’T MENTION YET IS DYNASTY’S VINCENT MONDRIAN! HE’S TANGLED UP WITH CLAYTON GOLDE AND BOTH OF THEM ARE TRYING TO DUMP THE OTHER OVER THE TOP ROPE! CLAYTON HITS VINCENT WITH AN ELBOW, AND VINCENT FIRES BACK WITH A FOREARM!

Gavin Kirkland: HERE COMES MATTIAS BURKE AND HE TRIES TO THROW THEM BOTH OVER THE TOP ROPE!

Persephone: CLAYTON AND VINCENT HANG ON, AND THEY TURN THEIR ATTENTION TO MATTIAS! HE MOTIONS AT THEM TO BRING IT AND THEY GO FOR A DOUBLE CLOTHESLINE! MATTIAS DUCKS AND TWIRLS AROUND, NAILING VINCENT WITH A DROPKICK! HE TURNS TOWARDS CLAYTON AND HE GETS HIT WITH A FOREARM!

Stew-O: DANIELLA ATLAS RAKES THE BACK OF MATTIAS BURKE BUT MATTIAS WHIPS AROUND AND DANIELLA TAKES A CLOTHESLINE! MATTIAS BURKE HAS JUST TAKEN DOWN MULTIPLE ELITISTS, AND IT LOOKS LIKE HE’S FIRED UP RIGHT NOW! MATTIAS BURKE CAN SEE THAT THINGS ARE GOING HIS WAY, AND HE TURNS HIS ATTENTION TOWARDS RONAN MALOSI BEFORE CHARGING AT HIM!

Gavin Kirkland: RONAN DOESN’T WANT ANYTHING TO DO WITH MATTIAS BURKE THOUGH, AND HE DUCKS BENEATH THE BOTTOM ROPE!

Ronan Malosi: (off-mic) I’m sorry, Mattias, but the Malosi Mindset doesn’t call for this. You can have fun with everyone else, though!

Persephone: MATTIAS SHRUGS AND TURNS AROUND, BUT HE EATS A SUPERKICK FROM RYAN JOSEPH WILSON! RYAN SEES RONAN OUTSIDE THE RING AND HE GOES THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE WITH A SUICIDE DIVE!

Stew-O: NO LOVE LOST BETWEEN RYAN AND RONAN, AS RYAN SLAMS RONAN’S FACE OFF THE RING APRON! HE SHOVES RONAN BACK INTO THE RING, RIGHT INTO THE WAITING DAMIEN KUTCHER! RONAN STUMBLES BACK TO HIS FEET BUT DAMIEN TURNS HIM INSIDE OUT WITH ‘RIDIN’ DIRTY’! THE DISCUS CLOTHESLINE SENDS RONAN SPRAWLING ONTO THE MAT!

Gavin Kirkland: RYAN DIVES BACK INTO THE RING AND BEFORE DAMIEN CAN DO ANYTHING ELSE, RYAN TAKES DAMIEN DOWN WITH THE ‘SUPERMAN PUNCH 2.0’!

Persephone: BUT AJ REDDING IS THERE AS WELL AND RYAN WILSON IS KNOCKED DOWN THANKS TO A JUMPING KNEE STRIKE! AJ LOOKS AROUND AND SEES AKARI KIYOKO AND DANIELLA ATLAS TRYING TO ELIMINATE ONE ANOTHER IN THE CORNER AND HE TAKES OFF RUNNING!

Stew-O: CARTWHEEL INTO A BACK ELBOW DOES NOT CONNECT! VINCENT SNATCHED AJ OUT OF THE AIR BEFORE THE BACK ELBOW LANDED AND HE PLANTS HIM WITH A BELLY-TO-BELLY SUPLEX!

Gavin Kirkland: DANIELLA AND AKARI LOOK AT ONE ANOTHER AND NOD! SHE GRABS AJ! HE GRABS VINCENT! THEY’RE GOING TO ELIMINATE THEM!

Persephone: ASHLYNN QUINN SLAMS INTO THE BACK OF DANIELLA AND AJ IS INADVERTENTLY SAVED! DANIELLA LOOKS PISSED AND ASHLYNN IMMEDIATELY THROWS UP HER HANDS!

Ashlynn Quinn: (off-mic) I tripped! I’m so sorry!

Stew-O: DANIELLA NEARLY TAKES ASHLYNN’S HEAD OFF WITH A SUPERKICK, MEANWHILE AKARI JUST GOT ATTACKED BY AJ REDDING! THOSE TWO AREN’T STRANGERS AND IT’S AKARI WHO FORCES AJ INTO THE CORNER AND HITS HIM WITH AN UPPERCUT!

Gavin Kirkland: GUYS, IF YOU LOOK OVER THERE, NIKKI KIMURA IS TRYING TO GET LUIS OUT OF THE RING!

Persephone: I WILL LITERALLY SLIT HER THROAT IF SHE HARMS ONE HAIR ON LUIS’ PERFECT HEAD!

Stew-O: GET THE KNIFE THEN BECAUSE NIKKI IS ABSOLUTELY BATTERING LUIS WITH THOSE BRUTAL FOREARM SHOTS! LUIS IS ATTEMPTING TO COVER UP, BUT NIKKI DOESN’T CARE! SHE’S STOMPS HIM DOWN INTO A SITTING POSITION AND NOW SHE’S USING HER FOOT TO CHOKE HIM!

Persephone: LEAVE HIM ALONE YOU STUPID COW!

Gavin Kirkland: NIKKI CONTINUES STOMPING AWAY- BUT LOOK! CLAYTON M. GOLDE AND AN REDDING ARE GOING AT IT, AND IT LOOKS LIKE CLAYTON WAS ON THE VERGE OF PICKING UP AN ELIMINATION RIGHT THERE! HE WAS LIFTING AJ OVER THE TOP ROPE, BUT AJ MANAGES TO LAND AN ELBOW ON TOP OF CLAYTON’S HEAD AND FORCE HIM TO BACK OFF! We nearly saw our second elimination of the match right there, but not just yet!

Stew-O: Daniella Atlas continues to go at it with Ashlynn Quinn, meanwhile AKARI KIYOKO HITS DAMIEN KUTCHER WITH A DROPKICK! Damien stumbles to his feet towards the ropes as Akari begins to run in, BUT DAMIEN CONNECTS WITH A BOOT TO THE FACE AS AKARI STUMBLES BACKWARDS, RIGHT INTO VINCENT MONDRIAN, WHO CONNECTS WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX!

Persephone: Do you really think I care about any of these other people??? The only thing that matters right now is Luis, and Luis finally managed to get Nikki off of him! Luis gets back up, AND HE KICKS NIKKI IN HER GUT BEFORE THROWING HER RIGHT INTO DAMIEN KUTCHER!!! YESS!!!! LET’S GO LUIS!!!!

Stew-O: Ronan Malosi uses this opportunity to strike whoever is open, AND HE ATTACKS SOSA HENDERSON FROM BEHIND! Ronan drags SOSA up before potentially going for the elimination- BUT SOSA LANDS A BACK ELBOW, BEFORE TURNING AROUND AND HITTING RONAN WITH AN UPPERCUT!

Gavin Kirkland: Mattias Burke now is fighting with Cody Maverick, AND MATTIAS LANDS A FOREARM TO THE FACE, BUT CODY RESPONDS WITH A FOREARM OF HIS OWN! BOTH MEN GO BACK AND FORTH, BUT CODY IS ABLE TO DUCK UNDER BURKE’S STRIKE BEFORE LAYING HIM OUT WITH A CLOTHESLINE! MATTIAS BURKE ROLLS AWAY FROM CODY- BUT WAIT A SECOND! LOOK OUT CODY!

Persephone: :mjlol: THIS GUY SUCKS! AJ REDDING JUST GRABBED HIM AND THREW HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE!

Stew-O: NO! CODY IS ABLE TO TURN IT AROUND AT THE LAST SECOND, SENDING AJ OVER THE TOP ROPE INSTEAD!

Gavin Kirkland: AJ BARELY MANAGES TO HANG ON, THOUGH! AJ pulls himself onto the apron, before sending Cody backwards with a forearm! AJ now, GOING FOR A SPRINGBOARD-

Stew-O: NO!!!! CODY MAVERICK JUST RAN IN BEFORE AJ COULD BOUNCE OFF THE TOP ROPE, SHOVING AJ BACKWARDS AND SENDING HIM OUT TO RINGSIDE! AJ REDDING IS OUT OF THIS MATCH!

Bella Braxton: AJ REDDING HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!!!

Stew-O: AJ IS GONE, BUT THIS MATCH CONTINUES AS CODY IS ATTACKED FROM BEHIND BY SHISUI TATEGAMI!!!

Gavin Kirkland: There’s a lot going on now as this match continues! Various Elitists are fighting at the moment, such as Clayton M. Golde, who is fighting Damien Kutcher right now! That’s not all either, just look at Ryan Wilson and Michael S. Connor! These two are going back and forth, and in a match like this these two need to be careful! As we’ve already seen, one wrong move could lead to your elimination, and I don’t think anyone wants to have to say they missed out on the 24/7 Contract knowing that it could lead to you becoming a Champion at any given moment!

Persephone: Well so much for that, because Ronan just came in and took out both of them with a clothesline. Ronan must not have forgotten about that beating Ryan gave him not too long ago, but it doesn’t matter unless he actually eliminates them.

Stew-O: You’re right, and Ronan pulls Ryan up to do that, BUT RYAN HITS RONAN WITH A FOREARM! RONAN STUMBLES BACK- AND THERE’S SOSA HENDERSON FROM BEHIND WITH AN ELBOW TO THE BACK OF RONAN’S HEAD! RYAN SENDS RONAN INTO THE CORNER BEFORE RUNNING IN-

Gavin Kirkland: BUT SHISUI CUTS RYAN OFF WITH GETSUGA TENSHOU!!! THAT SHOTGUN DROPKICK JUST DROPPED RYAN, CAUSING RYAN TO HAVE TO ROLL OUT TO THE APRON! Shisui is back to his feet, and now he goes after Ronan himself as he hits Ronan with an uppercut!

Stew-O: Well as that’s going on, Daniella Atlas and Ashlynn Quinn continue to go back and forth. Daniella was attempting to lift Ashlynn over the top rope, BUT ASHLYNN IS ABLE TO HIS DANIELLA WITH A FOREARM, BEFORE DROPPING HER WITH A STEP-UP ENZUIGIRI! Ashlynn returns to her feet, but there’s Mattias Burke looking to get an elimination! He sent Ashlynn out to the apron, BUT ASHLYNN IS ABLE TO QUICKLY SEND MATTIAS BACK WITH A FOREARM, BEFORE FINDING HER WAY BACK INTO THE RING!

Persephone: Akari gets back to his feet, BUT THERE’S LUIS TO TAKE HIM OUT! YESSS!!!! LUIS JUST DROPPED THAT LOSER WITH A CLOTHESLINE! YES! LUIS IS GONNA GET HIS FIRST ELIMINATION OF THE MATCH, AND COME ONE STEP CLOSER TO WINNING THE 24/7 CONTRACT! AKARI GETS BACK TO HIS FEET, AND THERE’S THE SUPERKICK-

Stew-O: NO! AKARI CATCHES LUIS’ FOOT! AKARI CAUGHT THE FOOT, AND NOW HE SPINS LUIS AROUND BEFORE SHOVING HIM AWAY-

Gavin Kirkland: RIGHT INTO RYAN WILSON, WHO DUCKS DOWN AND LIFTS LUIS OVER THE TOP ROPE!!!! LUIS MANAGES TO LAND ON THE APRON-

Stew-O: BUT RYAN QUICKLY RUNS IN AND CONNECTS WITH A SUPERMAN PUNCH, DROPPING LUIS OFF THE APRON AND ELIMINATING HIM FROM THIS MATCH!!!!!!

Persephone: …………..

Bella Braxton: LUIS DE LA ROSA HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!!!

Persephone: ………….

Gavin Kirkland: Persephone, are you oka-

Persephone: Shut up.

Stew-O: :mjlol: Anyways, Ryan Wilson just picked up an elimination, but now as soon as he turns around, he’s met by Clayton M. Golde, who kicks him in the midsection! This match is still far from over!

Persephone: Don’t say that. Luis just got screwed over. As far as I’m concerned, this match is not worth watching anymore. Just hurry up and end it already.

Gavin Kirkland: Nikki Kimura now is trying to eliminate Daniella Atlas it looks like, BUT DANIELLA PUSHES HER AWAY BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A DROPKICK! Daniella now sending Nikki into the corner of the ring, AND SHE RUNS IN BEFORE DELIVERING AN UPPERCUT! Now it’s Daniella trying to lift Nikki out of the ring, but Nikki is hanging on!

Stew-O: As these two continue to struggle, Ronan and Shisui continue to go back and forth!

Gavin Kirkland: Mattias Burke now in the corner battling it out with Nikki Kimura. Kimura grabs the arm of Burke and drags him down to the mat. Kimura has an armbar applied and that might not be effective at winning this match but it is definitely effective when it comes to snapping a man’s arm and making it difficult for him to fight back! But wait look out off the top rope! Cody Maverick just jumped off the top rope with a knee drop right down on the face of Kimura! Kimura is forced to release the hold and Burke now slowly back up. But Maverick grabs Mattias from behind and tosses him up over the top rope! No! Mattias grabs onto the top rope and punches Maverick before lunging through the middle rope and takes him down with a Shoulder Tackle! Big moves being made here as Nikki Kimura is back up and grabs Burke from behind and drops him with a German Suplex!

Persephone: Meanwhile on the other side of the ring nothing exciting is happening. Just as nothing exciting will be happening given that Luis is no longer in the match.

Stew-O: Come on it’s Pain for Pride show at least some enthusiasm. Come on. Speaking of enthusiasm it looks like the “USA” chants have begun as Lt. Colonel Michael Scott Connor is beating the hell out of Akari Kiyoko in the corner. I can’t tell if that is patriotism or racism but we will let our viewers decide. Wait look out from behind!

Gavin Kirkland: Shisui Tategami grabs the arms of Connor and throws him back… Tiger Suplex connects!!! Tategami grabs Connor and tosses him over the ropes sending him flying to the outside! But Connor grabs the bottom rope and swings his legs around! His feet did not even touch! Connor runs across the apron and goes up to the top rope… Flying Crossbody into the ring from Connor taking down both Kiyoko and Tategami!

Stew-O: Connor is rolling here! Connor grabs both competitors and bashes their skulls against each other. Connor grabs them and tosses them hard into the corner… But Kiyoko kicks Connor back and Tategami drops him with a Superkick! I suppose it was only a matter of time before the numbers got to him. Bad idea to pick a fight with two people at the same time in a match like this!

Gavin Kirkland: WAIT A SECOND! RONAN NOW GOING AFTER SHISUI TATEGAMI, AS HE DROPS HIM WITH A BIG BOOT!

Persephone: Ugh. How is Ronan still in the match?

Stew-O: Tategami stumbles back to his feet as Ronan sends him to the ropes! Tategami manages to hang onto the ropes though, AND WAIT A SECOND, LOOK!!!! MATTIAS BURKE RUNS IN!!!! HE SEES SHISUI, LOOKING TO SEND HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE!!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: BUT, LOOK! MATTIAS’ DECISION BACKFIRED! SHISUI DUCKED DOWN AND PULLED THE ROPES DOWN, CAUSING MATTIAS TO BE ELIMINATED!!!! MATTIAS BURKE IS OUT OF THIS MATCH!!!!!

Bella Braxton: MATTIAS BURKE HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!!!

Persephone: And there goes that guy. I honestly forgot that was his name.

Stew-O: Well as this match continues, it looks like Ryan Wilson and SOSA Henderson are currently going at it! Ryan lifts SOSA high up into the air and drops him down hard on his bald head with a Brainbuster! SOSA is down and out, and with a move like that I think now’s the time to eliminate him! Ryan now dragging SOSA up, and he’s attempting to take SOSA out of this one! Here comes Vincent Mondrian now looking to help Ryan get SOSA up and over the top rope! Can they do it?

Gavin Kirkland: They did it! Ryan Wilson & Vincent Mondrian just dumped SOSA Henderson over the top rope! He is out!

Persephone: No he isn’t. He unfortunately landed on the apron. They are trying to kick him out tho.

Stew-O: And SOSA Henderson is hanging on for dear life to that bottom rope! Vincent and Ryan are kicking at him! Wait look out from behind- Vincent just got laid out by Michael Connor! And now Ryan with a Superkick to Connor! But Connor grabs it and twists Ryan down into an Ankle Lock! But Ryan tosses Connor forwards into the ropes nearly sending him over the top as he rolls through the Ankle Lock! Connor turns around off the ropes as Ryan connects with a Running Boot to the skull! Michael gets the upper hand, but he’s quickly attacked by Clayton M. Golde! Ryan takes a quick breather as he just managed to avoid some devastating consequences in this match.

Gavin Kirkland: Who will be the next to be eliminated? SOSA gets back in the ring, but Damien Kutcher is fighting with him in the corner of the ring now Ashlynn Quinn sneaks up from behind though, with a running Splash to both men in the corner! Ashlynn grabs SOSA by the hair and throws him over the top! But SOSA holds onto the top rope with both arms and uses his incredible strength to pull himself back up flipping up and back into the ring. SOSA catches Ashylnn off guard and drops her with a Jumping Cutter out of nowhere!!!

Stew-O: Oh and look Damien Kutcher now taking advantage! Damien with a Running Knee Strike to the head of SOSA Henderson as soon as he hit that maneuver on Ashlynn! SOSA stumbles into Daniella Atlas and Nikki Kimura, and you can see that this match is just getting more and more chaotic despite so many names being taken out already!

Gavin Kirkland: Damien and Ashlynn now fighting, AND DAMIEN CATCHES HER WITH A BOOT TO THE FACE! Meanwhile, Clayton M. Golde is trying to eliminate Michael S. Connor! Clayton managed to get the upper hand over Michael a little while ago, so could we be seeing another elimination???

Persephone: Clayton is trying to lift him up, but somehow the old guy was able to hit a back elbow and force Clayton off of him.

Stew-O: Clayton now responding with a forearm, which causes Michael to stumble back! CLAYTON NOW NOTICING AN OPPORTUNITY AS HE CHARGES IN-

Gavin Kirkland: BUT MICHAEL SCOOPS CLAYTON M. GOLDE UP WITH A FIREMAN’S CARRY, BEFORE DUMPING HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE!!!! CLAYTON M. GOLDE IS OUT OF THIS MATCH!!!!!

Bella Braxton: CLAYTON M. GOLDE HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!!!

Gavin Kirkland: WOW! HUGE TURN OF EVENTS THERE AS CLAYTON M. GOLDE HAS BEEN TAKEN OUT BY MICHAEL S. CONNOR!!!! CODY MAVERICK GOES AFTER MICHAEL NOW, BUT SLOWLY THE NUMBERS ARE DROPPING HERE!

Persephone: Yeah, but nowhere near fast enough. The real winner’s been screwed over. I don’t care about these other people.

Gavin Kirkland: Not a very fortunate night for Michael S. Connor, who has just been thrown out of the battle royale. But look no further, Cody Maverick is paving his way towards Scott Connor, trying to shove him over the ropes while he has time! Michael saw it coming and was just able to nail an elbow on top of his head, sending him tumbling back inside! Not Scottie man!

Persephone: Since Luis De La Rosa has been tossed out of this match, it’s game over for me. Just another run-of-the-mill EAW match that I want to skip. This is a load of bullshit, man. The worst Pain for Pride ever.

Stew-O: Ashlynn Quinn is down there in the thick of it, battling with Nikki Kimura. Michael tries to stand his ground, but Cody is raining down punches, taking Michael down! Ryan is getting back on his feet, but SOSA is coming back at him and driving him into the corner! Ryan is stuck in a tight spot…. SOSA FOLLOWS UP WITH A CORNER SINGLE-LEG DROPKICK PINNING RYAN BACK AGAINST THE CORNER!

Gavin Kirkland: SOSA is here, making his whole gimmick the one-man band fighting against the world. Akari runs towards him, looking to strike his momentum down with a leg lariat!

Persephone: He misses AHAHHAAHAH! SOSA is still able to capitalize on what’s in front of him and is running in… CUTS AKARI IN HALF WITH A SPEAR!!!!! DIE YOU STUPID MIDGET!

Stew-O: AKARI GOT SOSA! He just stops him in his tracks with a kick to the chin! Akari follows up… TAKING THE FORMER WORLD CHAMPION OUT ON HIS OWN WITH A CODE BLUE POWERBOMB!

Gavin Kirkland: Oh god! Akari might have a chance right here! SOSA is down, and it’s no good! He’s picking up and looking to throw SOSA OUT! HUGE ELIMINATION COMING UP!

Stew-O: WAIT A MINUTE! WAIT A MINUTE! AKARI HAS BEEN STABBED IN THE BACK, AND IT’S VINCENT MONDRIAN TRYING TO TOSS HIM OVER THE ROPES! AKARI CLINGS ON FOR DEAR LIFE!

Gavin Kirkland: AKARI ISN’T READY TO BE SHOWN THE DOOR JUST YET! VINCENT TRIES TO THROW PUNCHES WHILE AKARI IS ON THE APRON… AN ENZUIGIRI FROM THE APRON SENT VINCENT BACK INTO THE RING!

Stew-O: Remember that SOSA Henderson is still down, and here’s Ronan Malosi looking to steal Akari’s elimination for himself! He gets SOSA back on his feet and is set to throw him over the ropes!… SOSA GETS HIS BEARINGS AND JUST TOSSES RONAN OVER THE ROPES INSTEAD! RONAN HANGS ON! SOSA TRIES TO CAPITALIZE, BUT RONAN OVERPOWERS SOSA BEFORE GETTING BACK INTO THE RING-

Gavin Kirkland: STOLE YO BITCH!!!!!!!!!! SOSA WITH THE IMPRESSIVE CUTTER CAUGHT RONAN IN AS SOON AS HE GOT BACK INTO THE RING! SOSA PICKS HIM UP NOW…. AND RONAN IS SENT OVER THE TOP ROPE!!!! SOSA WITH ANOTHER ELIMINATION!!!!

Bella Braxton: RONAN MALOSI HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!!!

Stew-O: Hell of an elimination by SOSA Henderson, who has just cleaned house yet again! But watch your back! Cody Maverick, moving on from Ryan Wilson recently, just blindsided SOSA, putting him down!

Gavin Kirkland: Nikki Kimura is able to gain the upper hand on Ashlynn Quinn, pinning her in the corner, landing some stomps, and finishing her off… NIKKI MOVES ON FROM ASHLYNN AND GETS NAILED WITH A SUDDEN KAIO KICK FROM DANIELLA ATLAS!

Stew-O: Damien Kutcher is now making his way out of the corner he was in, trying to take out Daniella, sending her flying across the ropes! Daniella braces for the rope and knocks Kutcher back into the ring with a back elbow… FOLLOWING UP WITH A SCORPION KICK TAKING HIM DOWN!

Gavin Kirkland: Damien stumbles back a bit and is near the ropes! Daniella has a chance here and charges towards him, looking to send him flying over! BUT THERE’S THE STRENGTH OF DAMIEN WITH A BACK BODY DROP! NOOOOOOOO! DANIELLA IS GONE!

Stew-O: NO, NOT JUST YET! DANIELLA MANAGES TO HOLD ON BY THE SKIN OF HER TEETH, LANDING BOTH FEET ON THE APRON AND THEN DRAGGING DAMIEN DOWN WITH HER, PULLING HIM BY HIS HEAD! DANIELLA GETS BACK ON HER FEET! DAMIEN KUTCHER TRIES TO STRIKE HER WITH AN ELBOW, AND IT HITS HOME! DANIELLA IS SEEING STARS! DAMIEN RUNS IN, LOOKING TO HIT DANIELLA WITH THE DIRTY SOUTH!!!

Gavin Kirkland: DANIELLA CATCHES THE LEG, AND SHE PUSHES DAMIEN BACK BEFORE CONNECTING WITH AN ELBOW!!! DANIELLA LOOKS TO FINISH THE JOB!…. GHOST CALL!!!!!!!!!!! DISCUS PALM STRIKE AND DAMIEN KUTCHER FELL OFF THE APRON TO THE RINGSIDE GROUND! HE’S OUT!

Bella Braxton: DAMIEN KUTCHER HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!!!

Persephone: Well, there goes another one I guess.

Gavin Kirkland: Look at that!!! Is Daniella gonna be the one to win the 24/7 Contract!?!? I’d love that personally.

Persephone: Shut the hell up, man.

Stew-O: Look no further! Akari Kiyoko has just gotten back on his feet and struck down Daniella Atlas just as she got back inside the ring AND SLOW-BOW! A DISCUS ELBOW SMASH KNOCKED HER FOR A LOOP!

Gavin Kirkland: Nikki Kimura :heart_eyes: and Shisui Tategumi are going toe to toe. Vincent Mondorian and Ashlynn Quinn :heart_eyes: :heart_eyes: are locked in a gruesome battle trying to toss each other out. Meanwhile, SOSA seems to be tangled up with Michael Scott Connor! Cody Maverick shifts his focus and spots Akari standing tall, charging in and driving him back into the corner before NAILING A HARD SHOULDER THRUST PRESSING HIM AGAINST THE CORNER!

Stew-O: The former boxer is now showing his true colors, landing some technical punches while putting Akari Kiyoko in his place! Akari falls against the corner like a domino. Cody clears his path, looking to continue dominating him, and prepares to land a running knife-edge chop!

Gavin Kirkland: NO! AKARI SIDESTEPS, CAUSING CODY’S HAND TO HIT THE TOP TURNBUCKLE INSTEAD! CODY MIGHT HAVE JUST HURT HIS HAND!

Persephone: AHAHAHAH WHAT AN IDIOT!

Gavin Kirkland: AKARI BOUNCES OFF THE ROPES AND FLIES BACK!… KINGSLAYUH!!!!!!!!

Stew-O: SPRINGBOARD REWIND BACKSTABBER ON CODY MAVERICK! BUT NO, THE SIN CITY SUPERSTAR SEES IT COMING AND CATCHES AKARI IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING… CODY TURNING AKARI INTO THE HIGH ROLLER!!!!!!!! A HALF NELSON LIFTED AND DROPPED INTO A BRIDGING OLYMPIC SLAM!

Gavin Kirkland: AKARI HAS JUST BEEN PUT IN HIS PLACE! CODY MAY HAVE JUST HIT THE JACKPOT RIGHT HERE AT THE PAIN FOR PRIDE STAGE! PICKING HIM UP AND SETTING HIM UP TO SEND HIM ACROSS THE ROPES!!!…

Stew-O: GONE! AKARI IS OUT OF THERE! CODY SCORES THE SECOND ONE!

Bella Braxton: AKARI KIYOKO HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!!!

Persephone: See if Luis were here, he wouldn’t let that shit fly.

Gavin Kirkland: And just like that! Cody Maverick has once again scored another elimination boosting his chances in this match to win even higher!

Stew-O: BUT HERE’S NIKKI AFTER DISPATCHING OF SHISUI BRIEFLY, LOOKING TO TOSS CODY MAVERICK OVER THE TOP ROPE FROM BEHIND!!! CODY’S SENT FLYING OVER THE TOP ROPE!!!

Gavin Kirkland: LOOK! HE HOLDS ON!! He’s grasping onto the ropes with every fiber of his being right here, trying to maintain as much of a grip onto that rigid rope as he possibly can! Nikki briefly turns away from Cody before looking back and seeing that he’s still hanging in there!

Stew-O: But now Nikki’s rushing over and trying to pry Cody’s grip from the ropes to drop him!!! IT’S NOT LOOKING GOOD FOR CODY! KIMURA’S PRYING HIS FINGERS OFF OF THE TOP ROPE—BUT CODY REMAINS ON THE APRON!

Gavin Kirkland: Which I’m sure will translate well for him with Nikki Kimura still trying to get Cody out of this match!! She’s driving her own foot against his chest and doing all that she can to push Cody off of the apron, but he is too stubborn to allow himself to go like this—

Persephone: WITH SOSA LOOKING TO THROW NIKKI OVERBOARD WHILE SHE’S OCCUPIED!! Anddd she’s holding on, nailing a back elbow across SOSA’s temple to make him stumble back, ugh. We’re due another body outta here already.

Stew-O: Nikki now focuses her attention on SOSA as she’s sending another forearm to him! Then another! Kimura looking to bring the fight directly to the former World Champion as she has her opportunity here!!!

Gavin Kirkland: SOSA retorts with an elbow as his own across Nikki’s jaw… WITH NIKKI REBOUNDING BACK THROUGH A SUPERKICK!!! SOSA STUMBLES BACKWARD AS HE’S LEANING AGAINST THE ROPES, DROPPING TO HIS KNEE! NIKKI’S GOT A CHANCE!!!

Stew-O: NOW NIKKI’S WILLING HERSELF TO A PROPER STANCE WITH SOSA DAZED! SHE’S GOT HER WHERE HE’S NEEDED HERE, AS SHE RUSHES TOWARD SOSA WITH THE ‘KAMIGOYE’ KNEE—

Gavin Kirkland: ‘STOLE YO BITCH’!!! THE STOLE YO BITCH OUTTA NOWHERE CATCHES NIKKI AS SHE’S GROGGILY DAZED TRYING TO MOVE HERSELF UPWARD! NO IDEA WHERE SHE IS—

Persephone: AS ASHLYNN SNEAKS RIGHT IN TO TOSS NIKKI KIMURA OVERBOARD!!!! NIKKI’S GONEEE!

Bella Braxton: NIKKI KIMURA HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!!!

Stew-O: That surely did not go how Nikki would have liked, but Ashlynn was able to take advantage of the moment given before her & she took it! Quinn can’t help but grin from ear to ear as she nods to herself, but she’s immediately turned around and sent a right hook by Daniella re-emerging!!

Gavin Kirkland: Ashlynn decides to retort with an even bigger hook of her own, catching Daniella across the jaw as both BEAUTIFUL women are now throwing the pressure right back at one another! They’re letting every punch be heard with no love lost between either of them! Ashlynn looks for a forearm—BUT DANIELLA WITH AN ELBOW ACROSS HER TEMPLE! Ashlynn is rocked for the moment as Daniella’s now aiming for a SPINNING HEEL KICK!

Stew-O: BUT ASHLYNN DUCKS—AND RETURNS THE FAVOR WITH A RUNNING BACK ELBOW THAT LEAVES DANIELLA STUMBLING AGAINST THE ROPES! Ashlynn now has another elimination in her hands with Daniella rocked to a greater degree! ASHLYNN RUSHES TOWARD ATLAS WITH A CLOTHESLINE OVER THE TOP ROPE—

Persephone: DANIELLA PULLS THE TOP ROPE DOWN AS ASHLYNN’S OWN MOMENTUM SENDS HER OVER!!!

Gavin Kirkland: BUT SHE’S HOLDING ON! SHE SITUATES HERSELF UP ONTO THE APRON!! Wouldn’t want her to leave anyhow! 😍

Stew-O: Which may not last for long, as Daniella has taken notice of Ashlynn remaining in the match!!! Atlas proceeds to rush toward Ashlynn AS SHE’S LOOKING TO SEND A BICYCLE KICK TO REMOVE HER FROM THE MATCH!

Gavin Kirkland: ASHLYNN WITH THE ENZIGURI!! Daniella’s caught off guard as the enziguri connects across her skull, backing her away in a staggered state with Ashlynn now looking to take the chance here… ROLLING THROUGH THE ROPES WITH ‘TREND SETTER’! ROLLING DROPKICK PUTS DANIELLA BACK DOWN!!

Stew-O: Ashlynn won’t have any room to breathe however, ‘cause here’s Vincent with a GERMAN SUPLEX that catches Ashlynn Quinn off guard, planting her onto the back of her own neck!!!

Gavin Kirkland: Now Vincent Mondrian’s looking to be the force to be reckoned with in this battle royal, as Shisui sprawls back toward Vincent, seeking out the lariat—BUT VINCENT WITH AN ARM AROUND HIS NECK, AS HE PLANTS HIM DOWN WITH THE URANAGE!

Persephone: Would’ve benefited the planet & then some to do that but onto the floor.

Stew-O: The Lieutenant rushes toward Vincent as he’s also looking to put him down—but Vincent ducks under his swing & NAILS A FIERCE LARIAT OF HIS OWN! VINCENT KEEPING BUSY HERE—

Gavin Kirkland: ‘TILL RYAN’S SENDING A DROPKICK TO THE BACK OF VINCENT, WHICH SENDS HIM ONTO THE TOP ROPE! RYAN WORKS QUICKLY TO PULL VINCENT OVER THE TOP ROPE!

Stew-O: BUT VINCENT’S HOLDING ON AS HE’S NOW ON THE APRON! Ryan’s looking to send a fierce elbow to knock him off—but Vincent with A HEADBUTT sends Ryan reeling away… ‘TILL ASHLYNN’S LOOKING TO KNOCK VINCENT OFF!

Gavin Kirkland: BUT VINCENT’S GOT A HOLD OF HER HAND! HER FINGERS NOW! ASHLYNN’S CRYING OUT AS—

Stew-O: ‘PORTRAIT OF PAIN’! THE CRACKING OF THE FINGERS! ASHLYNN’S MAY BE BROKEN! Ashlynn looks like she’s one second away from wailing in horror over her fingers being tarnished!

Gavin Kirkland: BUT HERE’S RYAN RUSHING TOWARD ASHLYNN WITH THE HELLUVA KICK!!!

Persephone: ASHLYNN EVADES THE KICK!!!

Stew-O: AND RYAN…

Gavin Kirkland: STRIKES VINCENT WITH THE KICK!!! VINCENT’S SENT OFF THE APRON & TO THE RINGSIDE FLOOR!!

Bella Braxton: VINCENT MONDRIAN HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!!!

Ashlynn Quinn: (off-mic) THAT SAVAGE! WHAT AN ANIMAL!! HE DESERVED THAT!!!

Stew-O: Well, it seems Ashlynn Quinn is incredibly upset about her fingers as she’s returning back to her feet, as it appears she’s attempting to snap her fingers back into place?!?? WHICH… SHE DOES! To the cries that are heard across the stadium no less!

Gavin Kirkland: Wow, that’s one hell of a woman! 😍

Persephone: Yeah, all of that relief as she turns herself right back around anddd—

Stew-O: ‘GHOST CALL’ DISCUS PALM STRIKE FROM DANIELLA DAZES ASHLYNN TO HER VERY CORE! SHE’S STAGGERED, TURNING OVER TO ANOTHER ELITIST BACK INTO THE FRAY—

Gavin Kirkland: ‘TAPS’ FROM MICHAEL SCOTT CONNOR! DOUBLE UNDERHOOK DDT! Ashlynn Quinn is off in another realm within her head momentarily as Michael’s dragging Ashlynn back up to her feet… LOOKING TO THROW HER OVER THE TOP ROPE!

Stew-O: TO HIS SUCCESS! ASHLYNN’S GONE!

Bella Braxton: ASHLYNN QUINN HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!!!

Stew-O: The field is minimizing with its numbers as Cody’s looking to return some of the fire as he’s up, but Michael’s sending the rights! He’s backing Cody into the corner as he continues to let the rights and lefts run wild! BUT HERE’S SOSA RUNNING OVER WITH A FOREARM!

Gavin Kirkland: WITH MICHAEL SCOTT EVADING, AND SOSA HITS CODY! SOSA still got a target at the very least as he’s turning back around with an arm raised for a swing—

Stew-O: As Michael ducks, with his arms then wrapped around SOSA’s waist AS A GERMAN SUPLEX OF HIS OWN SENDS SOSA SPIRALING DOWN! Ryan tries to motion over as he’s looking for a running knee—MICHAEL WITH THE LARIAT SENDS RYAN DOWNWARD!

Gavin Kirkland: Now Shisui’s back up to his feet as he’s trying to send a kick across his chest—but Michael catches his foot!! BEFORE LOOKING TO TOSS SHISUI OVER!!!

Persephone: BUTTT SHISUI’S REVERSING THE MOMENTUM ON MICHAEL TO TOSS HIM OVER INSTEAD!!

Stew-O: NO GOOD! Michael & Shisui have pulled one another over the top rope as they’re each on the apron now, sending the forearms across another’s temple as all it takes for the other to give way! SHISUI WITH AN UPPERCUT! NOW LOOKING TO SEND HIM OUT OF THIS MATCH!

Gavin Kirkland: MICHAEL WITH THE BOOT ACROSS SHISUI’S JAW! Shisui is sent reeling onto the apron, but holding onto the ropes to keep himself in this! Michael will need to take every advantage that he can here—

Stew-O: OH MY!!! ‘LIGHTS OUT’ SUPERMAN PUNCH BY CODY MAVERICK KNOCKS THE LIEUTENANT OUT OF THIS MATCH!!!! MICHAEL DROPS TO RINGSIDE!!!!

Bella Braxton: MICHAEL SCOTT CONNOR HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!!!

Persephone: WOOOOO CLOSER TO THE END!

Gavin Kirkland: WE’RE DOWN TO 5! ONLY ONE OF THESE ELITISTS TONIGHT WILL SECURE THE CONTRACT!

Stew-O: I’m just saying, four of the people in this match are from the Dynasty brand. :deaf_man:

Persephone: Shut the fuck up.

Gavin Kirkland: SHISUI TATEGAMI IS QUICK TO SHOOT FORWARD WHILE CODY ISN’T LOOKING AND TRY TO THROW HIM OUT OF THE RING- BUT CODY ISN’T BUDGING AS HE’S QUICK TO REAR HIS HEAD BACK AND NAIL HIM WITH A BACK ELBOW STRAIGHT TO THE FACE! SHISUI STUMBLES BACK… AS CODY NAILS HIM WITH A HARD LARIAT RIGHT TO THE FACE TO DROP HIM!

Stew-O: Meanwhile SOSA and Daniella are going at each other, while Ryan looks to try and join in and make a difference himself! SOSA is against the ropes… WHILE RYAN RUNS OVER AND TRIES TO CONNECT WITH A CLOTHESLINE WHICH SENDS HIM OVER AND OUT OF THE RING-

Gavin Kirkland: BUT SOSA MANAGES TO DUCK UNDER THAT BEFORE LIFTING RYAN OFF OF THE GROUND AND OVER THE TOP ROPE! Ryan manages to land on the apron and he’s barely able to hang on in time, but obviously he’s not in the best position. SOSA turns around and immediately begins to send strikes in his direction, trying to knock him off and eliminate him before he can do anything else! But Ryan is hanging on for dear life! He’s clutching onto the ropes, he does not at all want to let this slip!

Persephone: HAH! BUT DANIELLA FROM BEHIND PUSHES SOSA AWAY AND SPINS AROUND FOR A ‘GHOST CALL’! TRYING TO KNOCK RYAN OFF OF THE APRON WITH A DISCUS PALM STRIKE! YES PLEASE GET HIM OUT OF HERE!

Stew-O: BUT RYAN MANAGES TO DUCK UNDER THAT! HE THEN LEAPS INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTS WITH A ROPE-ASSISTED ENZUIGIRI TO THE FACE WHICH SENDS DANIELLA BACK! HE TRIES TO GET BACK INTO THE RING, BUT DANIELLA SPRINTS FORWARD AND LOOKS TO CONNECT WITH A BIG BOOT TO THE SIDE OF HIS HEAD WHILE HE DOES!

Gavin Kirkland: BUT RYAN PULLS THE TOP ROPE DOWN AND SENDS DANIELLA OVER INSTEAD! DANIELLA LANDS ON THE APRON! BOTH DANIELLA AND RYAN ARE TEETERING NOW AS RYAN IS TRYING TO STOMP DOWN ON HER AND FORCE HER OUT OF THE RING BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE!

Stew-O: BUT SOSA SPRINTS FORWARD AND GOES UNDER WITH A BASEBALL SLIDE WITH THE INTENTION OF ELIMINATING BOTH OF THEM FROM UNDERNEATH!

(…)

Gavin Kirkland: BUT RYAN MANAGES TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY IN TIME AS DANIELLA IS SENT FLYING OFF OF THE APRON AND TO THE RINGSIDE AREA! WE ARE DOWN TO FOUR PEOPLE!

Bella Braxton: DANIELLA ATLAS HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!!!

Persephone: There, ALL of them are Dynasty now, Stew, are you happy?

Stew-O: Yes. :wow:

Gavin Kirkland: Shisui Tategami, Ryan Wilson, Cody Maverick, and SOSA Henderson, all members of the Friday Night Dynasty brand who are looking to prove their point and become the holder of the illustrious 24/7 Contract! Who’s it going to be?

Stew-O: RYAN STUMBLES AWAY FROM SOSA JUST TO FALL INTO SHISUI TATEGAMI WHO BEGINS TO LAY INTO HIM WITH FOREARM SHOTS TO THE HEAD! MEANWHILE SOSA AND CODY HAVE FOUND THEIR WAY TO ONE ANOTHER AS WELL AND BOTH ARE MAKING SURE THAT THEY GET THEIR HITS IN ON ONE ANOTHER! CODY GRABS SOSA BY THE ARM AND SENDS HIM TO THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE RING, BUT SOSA CONNECTS WITH A FLYING FOREARM THAT KNOCKS HIM DOWN TO THE GROUND! MEANWHILE SHISUI HAS RYAN UP AND IS TRYING TO FORCE HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE, BUT RYAN IS RAINING STRIKES DOWN AND REFUSING TO BUDGE!

Gavin Kirkland: Cody is up against the ropes… AS SOSA GOES UNDER AND TRIES TO LIFT HIM UP- BUT IMMEDIATELY CODY LIFTS UP AND NAILS HIM WITH A BOOT TO THE SIDE OF HIS HEAD WHICH CLIPS HIM AND FORCES HIM BACK! CODY THEN TURNS AND RUSHES FORWARD HIM, SENDING A STRIKE TOWARD HIS HEAD-

Stew-O: BUT THIS GIVES SOSA THE OPPORTUNITY TO SCOOP HIM UP ONTO HIS SHOULDERS AND RUSH FORWARD USING THE MOMENTUM TO TOSS HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE! CODY IS HANGING ON BY A THREAD AND SOSA IS RUSHING OVER TRYING TO PRY HIS FINGERS OFF!

Gavin Kirkland: BUT CODY USES HIS UPPER BODY STRENGTH TO LIFT UP AND NAIL HIM WITH A KICK TO THE FACE AS HE GETS BACK UP-

Persephone: BUT THAT SHISUI GUY JUST CAME IN AND TRIED TO KNOCK HIM OFF THE APRON-

Stew-O: BUT CODY JUST GRABBED HIM BY THE HEAD AND SENT HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE WITH HIM AS WELL! SHISUI IS QUICK TO GET BACK UP BUT CODY IS SENDING STRIKES HIS WAY! BOTH OF THEM ARE TRADING BLOWS WITH ONE ANOTHER TO NO END, LOOKING TO GET THE BETTER OF THE OTHER WITH THIS OPPORTUNITY!

Gavin Kirkland: WAIT! WAIT! RYAN JUST SLIPPED ONTO THE APRON! HE RUSHES FORWARD AND HE NAILS SHISUI WITH A MASSIVE BOOT TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD BEFORE GRABBING HIM AND YANKING HIM OFF OF THE APRON! RYAN SLIPS IN AND MANAGES TO STEAL A ELIMINATION RIGHT FROM UNDER THE NOSE OF CODY, AND WE HAVE THREE PEOPLE LEFT!

Bella Braxton: SHISUI TATEGAMI HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!!!

Persephone: Well, at least this is almost over that is the most I can say about this.

Stew-O: Ryan and Cody are still on the apron and Cody has turned his attention to him, and this a very tense situation considering that either of them could be eliminated at any time! Cody is trying to send a strike- But Ryan blocks it before sending one back himself! Cody staggers back, JUST FOR RYAN TO CONNECT WITH A BOOT TO THE FACE! RYAN IS TRYING TO GET CODY OUT OF THIS MATCH!

Gavin Kirkland: BUT SOSA FROM BEHIND JUST FULL SPRINTED FORWARD AND LAUNCHES RYAN OFF OF THE APRON!

Stew-O: NOT! RYAN TURNS AROUND AND NAILS SOSA WITH A FOREARM OF HIS OWN! RYAN REALIZES THE SITUATION THAT HE’S IN AND IS TRYING TO ENTER INTO THE RING!

Gavin Kirkland: BUT CODY FROM BELOW NAILS HIM WITH A CHOP BLOCK TO HIS KNEE TO LEAVE HIM WOUNDED! RYAN IS MIDWAY THROUGH ENTERING THE RING-

Stew-O: AS SOSA LEAPS INTO THE AIR AND NAILS HIM WITH A ‘STOLE YO BITCH’! RYAN IS OUT AND CODY GRABS HIM BY THE ANKLE AND TRIPS HIM OUT OF THE RING! RYAN WILSON HAS BEEN ELIMINATED FROM THIS MATCH!

Bella Braxton: RYAN WILSON HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!!!

Persephone: Thank God, only two people left then we can finally move on with this atrocity.

Gavin Kirkland: It all comes down to this! SOSA Henderson, Cody Maverick, both have had their own separate paths to get here, but now they find themselves across the ring with each other!

Stew-O: AND HERE WE GO! SOSA JUST TRIED FOR A SPEAR- BUT CODY LEAPFROGS OVER THAT BEFORE TURNING AROUND! HE KICKS HIM IN THE ABDOMEN BEFORE GRABBING HIM!

Gavin Kirkland: GOING FOR THE ‘SIN CITY STUNNER’ TO SOSA-

Stew-O: BUT SOSA SHOVES HIM AWAY BEFORE TURNING HIM AROUND AND NAILING HIM WITH A SUPERKICK TO THE JAW! THIS SENDS CODY BACKWARD AS HE FALLS AGAINST THE ROPES, AND SOSA WASTES NO TIME RUSHING TOWARD HIM AT FULL SPEED!

Gavin Kirkland: BUT CODY MOVES OUT OF THE WAY AND SENDS HIM THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE AND OUT OF THE RING!

Stew-O: BUT SOSA MANAGES TO LAND IN TIME AND STOP HIMSELF BEFORE NAILING CODY WITH A FOREARM! HE LEAPS INTO THE AIR AND GOES FOR A SPRINGBOARD ATTACK TO CODY!

Gavin Kirkland: BUT CODY JUST WIPED THE LEGS OF SOSA AND SENDS HIM TUMBLING DOWN!

Stew-O: BUT HE LANDS ON THE APRON AND GRABS CODY BY THE HEAD BEFORE PULLING HIM OVER TOO! BOTH OF THEM ARE ON THE APRON NOW AND SOSA JUST LAUNCHED INTO THE AIR AND NAILED HIM WITH A HUGE BICYCLE KICK STRAIGHT TO THE FACE!

Gavin Kirkland: BUT CODY FIGHTS BACK AND CONNECTS WITH A STRIKE OF HIS OWN TO THE FACE OF SOSA! CODY THEN GRABS SOSA AND ATTEMPTS TO CONNECT WITH A DDT- BUT SOSA MANAGES TO BREAK FREE BEFORE SLIPPING INTO A FRONT FACELOCK OF HIS OWN… JUST FOR CODY TO PUSH HIM FORWARD AND SEND HIM STRAIGHT INTO THE RINGPOST SPINEFIRST!

Stew-O: CODY THEN GRABS HIM BY THE HEAD, AND NOW HE’S LOOKING TO CONNECT WITH AN APRON DDT ONE MORE TIME TO TAKE HIM OUT!

Gavin Kirkland: BUT SOSA SLIPS OUT AND SWEEPS THE LEG! CODY LANDS IN A SEATED POSITION ON THE APRON AS SOSA BEGINS TO STOMP DOWN ON HIM! CODY IS TRYING TO GET BACK UP BUT LOOK WHAT HE’S DOING! SOSA IS CLIMBING UP TO THE MIDDLE TURNBUCKLE!

Stew-O: ‘PAID IN FULL’! SWERVE STOMP TO CODY ON THE APRON!

Persephone: BUT WHO THE FUCK FELL???

Bella Braxton: CODY MAVERICK HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!!!

(DING! DING! DING!)

(‘Faneto’ begins to blast through the speakers of the arena as the crowd ROARS for SOSA Henderson, who collapses down onto the apron before slowly rolling into the ring. He gets up onto his knees before raising his arms in the air, giving a loud shout before getting back up to his feet with a smirk on his face. Posing at the center of the ring, he caps off his Season with a massive win.)

Bella Braxton: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, YOUR WINNER OF THE 24/7 BATTLE ROYAL… SOSA HENDERSON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: WOW! WHAT A WIN FOR THE FORMER WORLD CHAMPION! He proved that even though he was tasked with impossible odds that he would force his way back to superstardom, and lo and behold he did! Now he has a contract that guarantees him a title shot at any time of his choosing! And a chance to add to the already long list of achievements that he has!

Stew-O: Returning at Grand Rampage SOSA’s first Marquee Event saw him losing to Myles at Fighting Spirit. Now I’m sure he has a lot on his mind and a lot to make up for, which I’m sure he has the utmost intentions of doing. Pain For Pride belongs to SOSA as he comes out on top in what was a stellar 24/7 Battle Royal.

(The camera shows the disappointed looks of the Elitists still at ringside while SOSA is seen climbing up to the top rope. The last shot shown is of him doing his pose before Pain For Pride, from there, begins to fade out.)

(The graphics appear for the next match)

Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen, the following match is scheduled for ONE FALL!

Crowd: ONE FALL!

Stephie Love: And it is for the NATIONAAAAAAAAAAAAAL ELIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITE CHAMPIONSHIIIIIIIIIIIIP!

(The lights dim as the opening riff to “Crossing Field – Raven Edit” by Jonathan Young begins to play.)

(The crowd looks around and searches but there’s no sign of anyone stepping out onto the stage.)

Song: CLOUDY MEMORIES OF THE WAY IT USED TO BE

SEARCH FOR ANSWERS I CAN’T SEE

Song: LOOKING BACK IN TIME, ALL THE IMAGES THEY TELL ME WHERE IM GOING

THEY GUIDE ME

(Suddenly a spotlight shines at the top of the tron, where Raven Roberts stands wearing all white gear with silver and black trim.)

Song: LOOK TO THE SKIES, IT’S A NEW DAY EVERY DAY

FEELING SO CONFUSED, BUT I KNOW YOUR HEART IS TRUE

PLEASE TRUST IN ME…

(Raven looks out at the crowd, taking in the moment. She looks out and raises her arms in the air, acknowledging the fans as she steps up to the edge of the tron. The music cuts and the moment lingers. )

(And she leaps off of the tron.)

(After Raven plummets about twenty feet, a mechanism on her back is activated by a zip line, extending a pair of black feathered wings out, each about ten feet long. The music then explodes back into the arena as Raven begins to glide along the zip line towards the ring with a grin on her face.)

Song: FLYING SO HIGH UP IN THE SKYyy, I’M CAUGHT UP IN A DREAM

MY FEARS, THEY FADE AWAY, IT’S MY REALITY

(Purple fireworks explode from the stage and black feathers fall from the rafters as Raven’s zip line puts her just low enough to high-five fans on the way to the ring.)

Song: AND NOW I KNOW THE REASONS WHY, I’VE GOT TO MAKE A CHANGE

GROW STRONGER EVERY DAY, WE FIGHT FOR VICTORY

(The zip line stops with Raven a few feet over the center of the ring. She detaches herself and drops down to the mat, landing with one knee down and a fist to the mat, looking up with a smile at the roaring crowd. She steps to the ropes and extends her arms, soaking in the moment one more time before her music fades and she steps to her corner.)

Stephie Love: INTRODUCING FIRST, THE CHALLENGER! HAILING FROM ATLANTA, GEORGIA, WEIGHING IN AT 122 POUNDS… SHE IS THE BIIIIIIIRD OF PREEEEY… RAVEEEEEEEEEEEEN! ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOBEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERTS!

Deadprez: What an incredible entrance from the incredible Raven Roberts! The Bird of Prey has been on FIRE, pun intended, ever since her dramatic return earlier in the season!

Eve: Ever a fan favorite, Raven has been putting in the work to show that she’s not just back for a nostalgia act; she has business she wants to take care of unfinished business! Namely, she’s looking to make history by becoming a Grand Slam Champion, and the only thing standing between her and that goal are her opponents tonight! If she acquires the National Elite Championship, she etches her name in the history books!

Deadprez: The almighty Huntress has shown no reason to doubt her so far; I don’t think the National Elite Champion’s reign has ever been in as much danger as it is tonight!

Gavin Kirkland: ……

Deadprez: Are you… shaking, Gavin?

Eve: I don’t know if he’s fully prepared for a match involving all three of these ladies at the same time.

(Suddenly, a video started playing on the titantron. The crowd reacts in confusion before the reaction starts getting louder as Miku Sakai is shown, performing as a J-Pop star with singing, music, and flamboyant dancing across the stage as she did in the past! Miku is reenacting her old days as a J-Pop star in an overly dramatic fashion, causing some laughter from the crowd. The vulgar Miku Sakai that the EAW Universe has come to know is all smiles as she signs the autographs of her fans and gives high fives to the audience!)

(The video feed then shifts in tone as Miku is seen trudging along despondently with a termination letter clutched tightly in her hand. The video feed centers on her face, before transitioning seamlessly into her face in the corner of the screen showing her work as a streamer; she’s playing video games live and, the moment she dies in game, she screams angrily at the screen and flips it off before yelling at her chat to shut the fuck up.)

(Her profanity-laced rant once again transitioned seamlessly into her saying the same thing, except this time in a professional wrestling ring as opposed to a stream. She yelled at her opponent before finishing them off and pinning them for the victory; Hikari Kanno came up from behind to help her partner up with a high five for a tag team match won perfectly. IDOL-GUN’s success is played via a montage on the screen, as well as Miku holding up the Specialists Championship, before she got stabbed in the back by Hikari Kanno.)

(Miku’s dramatization of the events continues with a bunch of mixed pills scattered over her desk as she slumps over in despair; it seems like nothing can improve for her. However, Miku persists nevertheless, in spite of all that has occurred, and works to improve herself in the ring. Her career begins to arc upwards again, with IDOL-GUN eventually reuniting; however, just as before, she was left alone when Hikari Kanno once again abandoned her. Miku suffered from despair, but not nearly as long as she did before; her struggles had made her stronger and more resilient to the pain, and she picked herself up in a short period of time.)

Narrator: Miku Sakai, after all that has occurred, came back as a new woman. She had reconstructed herself from the top down; the new Miku Sakai was built bigger, stronger, BETTER. Amidst all the turmoil of her life, that little seed never stopped growing…

(On the stage, there is a giant pot of dirt with water being poured onto it from the rafters; suddenly, a large stem burst through the depths of the dirt and sprouted into a massive flower! STFU! by Rina Sawayama began blaring through the speakers as it sprouted, and on the center of the flower stood none other than Miku Sakai, in a costume resembling a phoenix adorned with red, white, and blue stripes!)

(She spread her arms out dramatically, causing the stage to become engulfed with the phoenix’s flame. The wings of her phoenix entrance gear connected to a zip line, and from the top of the 20 foot tall flower, Miku Sakai ziplined down to the ring where she landed in front of Raven Roberts, making eye contact as the two rivals glared at each other. Miku removed the wings of her attire and backed up into the corner.)

Stephie Love: AND HER OPPONENT, A CHALLENGER, HAILING FROM FUKUI, JAPAN, WEIGHING IN AT 110 POUNDS… MIKUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU! SAAAAAAAAKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAI!

Deadprez: And yet another tremendous entrance, this time by Miku Sakai! You may forget sometimes thanks to her attitude, but Miku has been through quite a lot, not just in her career as a professional wrestler but even before that!

Eve: You saw the imagery of her entrance, right? Through all the pain, she constantly forced herself to grow, and that’s how we got the Pain for Pride marquee title contender Miku Sakai competing before our eyes! She rose from the ashes like a phoenix!

Gavin Kirkland: OH! I’m back! Sorry, I was just letting the fact that I’m here for this match to settle in. I love life right now! The Huntress and the flowery phoenix both look immaculate!

Eve: Ah, there it is.

Deadprez: Tonight, Miku Sakai looks to win her first singles title ever since her Specialists Championship reign way back in 2021! After all she’s been through and struggling for the past three years, she has just as much a claim to seizing the title as Raven Roberts does! Now, it’s just a matter of seeing which one of the two rivals can outdo each other.

Eve: Of course, we can’t forget the dominant champion herself…

(The titantron lit up with what seems to be a highlight reel; displayed front and center was none other than the Golden Star herself, Veena Adams, dressed in the finest and most chique clothes and accessories… though, of course, no accessory more prominent nor more resplendent than the National Elite Championship that adorned her shoulder.)

Veena Adams: People see someone who is as completely and totally perfect as myself and think to themselves… “Gawd, what I wouldn’t do just to live a single day in her life!”

(The highlight reel showed Veena being chauffeured around in sports cars and luxury cars alike, all sharing the same trait that they were far more expensive than any normal person could ever even consider buying.)

Veena Adams: And, I’m aware enough that the life I live seems so mystical and fantastic to losers that are jealous of me… but for me? This is just my life; this is just how I AM.

(The highlight reel continued, showing Veena posing in different attires from different high-end clothing brands, from Louis Vuitton to Gucci among others, and walking out of the clothing stores with bags that look as big as boulders!)

Veena Adams: This is the life of Veena Adams. This is the life of a CHAMPION. And just like nobody is going to be taking my family away from me…

(The highlight reel paused at Veena Adams holding her National Elite Championship up front and center.)

Veena Adams: Nobody is going to take this title away from me either. They just don’t have what I have, and they’ll have to deal with it. Toodles!

(The audience looks up as they hear the blades of a helicopter spinning loudly; lo and behold, a helicopter appears above the open-roof stadium, it is pink and full of bling bling, and it flies with expert precision over to the stage)

(The fans are looking up in awe at the spectacle.)

Crowd: THIS IS AWESOME!!!! THIS IS AWESOME!!!! THIS IS AWESOME!!!

(The helicopter hovers over a little longer before it slowly descends and carefully lands in the center of the stage. Two large men dressed in tuxedos appeared from behind the helicopter, carrying a large red carpet that they unrolled from the base of the helicopter heading down the ramp and a few photographers came out to take pictures.)

(Suddenly the stage is flooded by fans screaming and yelling like Veena Adams was Taylor Swift waiting to come out of the helicopter and get a glimpse of her greatness.)

(“7 Rings” by Ariana Grande began blaring through the speakers as the VIP door to the helicopter finally opened, and out stepped the Golden Star, Veena Adams, dressed in a glamorous pink attire and fur coat, complemented by the gold of the National Elite Championship! She steps off of the helicopter with courteous assistance by the two men in tuxedos, before she struts her way down the red carpet waving at her screaming “fans” and walks her way to the ring.)

Stephie Love: AND THEIR OPPONENT! HAILING FROM GREENWICH, CONNECTICUT, WEIGHING IN AT 137 POUNDS… SHE IS THE GOLDEEEEEEEEEEEEN STAAAAAAAAAAR AND THE NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPION… VEEEEEEEEENAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMS!

(She walks slowly down the ramp way, with an arrogant smirk on her face.)

Gavin Kirkland: THAT’S MY GODDESS! WHAT AN ENTRANCE; SHE’S RIGHT, NOBODY CAN MATCH UP TO HER, NOT A SINGLE PERSON!

She gets help by her assistants up the steel steps and they hold the ropes for her before she makes her way to the center of the ring. Pink confetti mixed with gold trim start raining down on the stadium while the helicopter leaves)

(Veena poses holding the National Elite Championship, with all cameras and all spotlights focused on none other than her. She hands the title off to the referee and makes eye contact with Miku Sakai and Raven Roberts as she backs into her corner.)

Deadprez: After her first reign fell prey to Devolution last year, the National Elite Champion has regained her title and is looking to continue the reign through Pain for Pride and into the next season!

Eve: It took a lot of grit, but Veena has become one of the premier champions in EAW today, as well as one of the most credible competitors overall! Many in the audience and the roster don’t like her attitude, but her results are hard to argue with.

Deadprez: Of course, it’s by her own actions that this match turned out to become a triple threat when she interfered in the match to decide the number one contender! The challenge has become that much tougher for Veena, and now it’s time to see if she can withstand the pressure from her two highly capable opponents!

Gavin Kirkland: YOU’VE GOT THIS QUEEN! THE GOLDEN STAR! THE PERFECT ONE! VEENA WILL RETAIN, I’M CALLING IT NOW!

Eve: We’ll see if she’ll meet your expectations, Gavin, but one thing is for sure; this is about to be intense!

(Ding! Ding! Ding!)

Deadprez: And the match is underway! All three competitors are in the ring as they begin circling each other; all of them seem to be testing the waters.

Eve: Triple threat matches are always harder to predict than a usual singles match; you never know who is going to go for whom at any given moment.

Gavin Kirkland: BUT THAT ANSWERS THAT! Miku Sakai feigns an attack on Veena but immediately kicks out the leg of Raven Roberts and begins clobbering her with a flurry of battering forearms!

Deadprez: After the history these two have had for the past few months, I guess it’s unsurprising that they would end up going after each other first!

Eve: Veena seems content to take a step back; a smart move by the Golden Star, looking to conserve her energy.

Gavin Kirkland: Raven quickly gets back to her feet and steps back to avoid another few strikes by Miku before lurching forward and topples her with a Lou Thesz Press!

Deadprez: Unfortunately for her, Miku clearly is at a disadvantage when it comes to height compared to both of her opponents; getting knocked down with a move like that is something she’ll have to overcome!

Eve: Raven is following up the press with a flurry of frenzied punches! The fire of the Huntress is coming out tonight, without a shadow of a doubt!

Gavin Kirkland: But Miku Sakai is as scrappy as ever! Even in the Lou Thesz Press, she’s returning all of Raven’s shots, one for one!

Deadprez: One of those shots landed hard enough for Raven to stagger off of her and clutch her face!

Eve: And that’s just the opportunity Miku Sakai needed as she springs back up to her feet and latches herself onto Raven’s midsection!

Gavin Kirkland: Miku falls back, pulling Raven down with her, before she kicks her feet up! A perfectly executed monkey flip by the GORGEOUS Miku Sakai onto the GORGEOUS Raven Roberts!

Deadprez: Miku quickly gets back to her feet as she looks to follow up on the attack–

Eve: OOOH! SHE WAS UNABLE TO CONTINUE! SHE GETS CAUGHT BY A CARTWHEEL KICK BY NONE OTHER THAN THE CHAMPION!

Gavin Kirkland: YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

Deadprez: Raven and Miku sure have their rivalry that will spark even more hostility in this match, but they have to remember the ever-crafty Veena Adams is not looking to lose her title!

Eve: The cartwheel kick sends Miku staggering back, and that’s a vulnerability that Veena is more than happy to take advantage of!

Gavin Kirkland: The immaculate Veena Adams continues the assault with some rapid-fire MMA-style punches and kicks, forcing Miku Sakai to stagger back from the pressure!

Deadprez: BAM! SHE FINISHES OFF THE SEQUENCE WITH A JUMPING KNEE STRIKE!

Eve: And that knocks Miku Sakai back the most, causing her to fall through the ropes and land outside at ringside with a thud!

Gavin Kirkland: THAT’S MY QUEEN! THAT’S THE GOLDEN STAR! Yeah, show off, you deserve it!

Deadprez: OH! But she left her back turned too long, Raven Roberts comes in from behind and surprises her with a sudden Judo takedown, bringing the National Elite Champion down to the mat with a thud of her own!

Eve: You can never forget where the third opponent is at any moment in a match like this! Raven is more driven than ever to complete her mission, and she is more than willing to take on any opponent to make it happen!

Gavin Kirkland: And now Veena is being stomped out by her vicious challenger, the Bird of Prey! These two bring an interesting dynamic to the table, with both of them being well-equipped with martial arts techniques outside of standard professional wrestling!

Deadprez: We’re seeing some of Raven Roberts’ grappling ability here, too, as she immediately stops her stomping barrage to attempt to snap on a kneebar onto the leg of the champion! Looking to end this early?!

Eve: But Veena immediately begins countering it thanks to her own martial arts expertise; she trained with her uncle, Mr. DEDEDE, after all! She’s able to get to the ropes in time to escape the maneuver, and she slides herself onto the apron to boot!

Gavin Kirkland: Raven gets back to her feet and sees Veena doing the same on the apron; she immediately charges forward and looks to knock her off the apron with a VICIOUS running lariat!

Deadprez: BUT VEENA DUCKS UNDERNEATH! She catches Raven with a sudden shoulder barge from between the top and middle ropes, catching her off guard, and then follows it up by dragging the doubled-over Raven Roberts onto the apron alongside her!

Eve: Both women are on the apron now, and while it seemed like Veena was about to throw Raven off the apron and onto the ringside floor, Raven began firing back with some lefts and rights to force Veena back!

Gavin Kirkland: It’s just a matter of seeing who is able to knock whom off the apron, and it’s anybody’s game!

Deadprez: Veena is able to make some distance and rushes forward to utilize that jumping knee strike once again, seeing if she’s able to knock Raven down to ringside like she did Miku!

Eve: BUT RAVEN IS ABLE TO COUNTER! A big boot is able to clash against the jumping knee strike of Veena Adams, causing the Golden Star to fall back-first onto the apron!

Gavin Kirkland: THAT’S THE HARDEST PART OF THE RING! :damn:

Deadprez: It certainly seemed like a rough landing, and Veena is the one to fall down to ringside, with Raven looking down at her from the apron!

Eve: I think she’s got an idea! THE BIRD OF PREY FLIES INTO THE AIR BEFORE PLUMMETING BACK DOWN WITH AN ELBOW DROP TO THE FALLEN VEENA ADAMS!

Gavin Kirkland: NOOOOOOO! DON’T GO FOR HER FACE! OR ANY PART OF HER, REALLY!

Deadprez: Like it or not, that elbow drop connected and it connected PERFECTLY! All of Veena’s limbs twitch up from the impact of the maneuver, and now Raven is standing tall above the National Elite Champion! Is this what we have in store for us by the end of the match?!

Eve: Before that can happen, Raven needs to get Veena back into the ring in order to pin her–

(CRRRRRRRACK!!!!!!!!!!)

Gavin Kirkland: :krabs:

Deadprez: MIKU SAKAI FROM BEHIND… WITH A KENDO STICK!

Eve: This is shades of Grand Rampage! Both Raven and Miku waged one hell of a war back at the event, and now Miku has brought it back for this match too!

Gavin Kirkland: Raven looks as shocked as I was, but of course, she’s feeling all of the pain!

Deadprez: And now Miku is just going WILD with the kendo stick, battering Raven over the back with it over and over and over again!

Eve: I can’t imagine how painful it must be! OH, and now Miku drove it into her abdomen, using the flat point of the kendo stick rather than its rounded edge!

Gavin Kirkland: That caused Raven to double over, leading to Miku holding the kendo stick up high and swinging down for the back of Raven’s head!

Deadprez: BUT RAVEN IS ABLE TO STEP BACK IN THE NICK OF TIME!

Eve: Miku Sakai swings for the fences yet again, but Raven Roberts catches the kendo stick in her hand! THAT still had to have hurt, how tough is the Bird of Prey?!

Gavin Kirkland: They call her the Bird of Prey for a reason, and she’s showing what she’s made of here! And now, just as they had in Grand Rampage, Raven Roberts and Miku Sakai are having a tug of war with that kendo stick!

(CRRRRRRRRRACK!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Gavin Kirkland: :krabs: :krabs: :krabs:

Eve: Miku Sakai got the kendo stick… but Raven Roberts just collapsed! What just happened?!

(The video feed perspective was being shot from just around Miku Sakai’s point of view, looking at Raven Roberts; as soon as Raven collapsed to the ringside floor, Veena Adams was revealed right behind her, and in her hands…)

Deadprez: THAT’S VEENA’S SIGNATURE DIAMOND ENCRUSTED KENDO STICK! SHE JUST BASHED RAVEN ROBERTS OVER THE HEAD WITH IT, AND THE BIRD OF PREY GOES DOWN!

Gavin Kirkland: Veena glares at Miku Sakai, who has her own kendo stick in her hands.

Veena Adams: You didn’t think I would stay out of the party, did you?

Eve: Veena Adams swings the diamond encrusted kendo stick straight for the head of Miku, and she ducks and steps back in a hurry!

Gavin Kirkland: I love Veena, but I don’t blame Miku for getting out of dodge! That diamond encrusted kendo stick hitting you at all is a total danger, just see what happened to Raven Roberts! Tough as she is, she went down immediately!

Deadprez: And now it’s a battle of the kendo sticks as Veena continues aggressively pursuing Miku Sakai!

Eve: And now Miku has started blocking some of the diamond encrusted kendo stick’s shots with her own kendo stick!

Gavin Kirkland: What is this, Star Wars?! The two of them are using their respective kendo sticks to block shots from the other person’s kendo stick!

Deadprez: Veena swings once again, as hard as she can, and Miku Sakai goes to block it!

(SNAP!)

Eve: OH MY GOD!

Gavin Kirkland: The diamond encrusted kendo stick of Veena Adams… just broke Miku Sakai’s kendo stick in half!

Deadprez: I guess that’s the benefit of having your kendo stick encrusted with diamonds, huh?

Eve: And now there’s nothing to protect Miku Sakai from Veena Adams; the Golden Star is free to use that horrifying kendo stick as she pleases!

Gavin Kirkland: Veena arcs the kendo stick back as she looks to beat Miku Sakai into the ringside floor… what’s this?!

Deadprez: From behind, Raven Roberts grabs the diamond encrusted kendo stick before Veena could swing down at the head of Miku Sakai! And now they’re having a tug of war with it as well!

Eve: Miku Sakai sprung up from her seated position and lurched forward, trying to snatch the diamond encrusted kendo stick for herself, too!

Gavin Kirkland: All three women are trying to take it, but it feels like a stalemate here!

Deadprez: I’m not sure who’s going to end up with the weapon, if anybody at all– OH, RAVEN ROBERTS WITH A FRONT KICK TO THE HAND OF VEENA ADAMS!

Gavin Kirkland: HEY, THAT’S CHEATING!

Eve: It’s a triple threat, there are no disq- wait, that isn’t cheating by any meaning of the word, what are you on about?

Deadprez: Either way, Veena loosened her grip, and Raven did one last big pull to release her grip from it!

Eve: That yank from Raven Roberts made Miku Sakai stumble forward, too, and Raven capitalized on that with a headbutt to Miku!

Gavin Kirkland: Raven just took the diamond encrusted kendo stick all for herself, and now Veena…

Veena Adams: :whoa2:

Deadprez: I can’t imagine the Bird of Prey was particularly happy about taking that shot to the back of the head, and now she’s looking to get revenge against the National Elite Champion!

(CRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAACK!)

Gavin Kirkland: NOOOOOOO!

Eve: A VICIOUS shot from that diamond encrusted kendo stick to the gut of Veena Adams, causing her to double over in pain!

Deadprez: AND ANOTHER SHOT, this time to the back of Veena Adams!

Gavin Kirkland: Raven is just beating her silly at this point, that’s enough!

Eve: And now, she glares down at the kendo stick before she arcs it back and sends it FLYING!

Deadprez: WOW, look at the distance, it went straight to the ramp and fell down over the edge to the floor beside it!

Gavin Kirkland: It seemed like Raven was getting absolutely sick of kendo sticks entirely, after what happened at Grand Rampage and now at Pain for Pride Kingdom as well!

Eve: She grabs Veena Adams by the hair and drags her over to the apron before forcing her to roll in!

Deadprez: Raven rolls in alongside her and hooks the leg as tight as she can, and the referee begins to count!

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Gavin Kirkland: THANK GAWD! Miku slid into the ring and broke up the pin in time! Veena’s reign is safe!

Eve: Safe for now, at least; Raven and Miku lock eyes and it once again feels like these two women’s enmity just never seems to end! Always in each other’s way.

Deadprez: Well, there’s no grander stage to settle hostilities and differences than at Pain for Pride Kingdom! Remember, even if one of these two women pins the other, Veena still loses the gold!

Gavin Kirkland: And now Raven Roberts and Miku Sakai are brawling it out in the middle of the ring as Veena rolls over to the corner, still clutching the spots where she was bashed by her OWN diamond encrusted kendo stick!

Eve: The two of them lock up as they fight for dominance, but Raven is able to overpower Miku and push her into the ropes!

Deadprez: The Bird of Prey latches on to the wrist of her rival and executes an Irish whip, sending Miku Sakai running across the length of the ring and rebounding off the ropes!

Gavin Kirkland: Miku Sakai comes running back even faster, and Raven immediately looks to take her head off with THE FACELIFT, THE SPINNING HEEL KICK, RIGHT TO THE FACE OF MIKU SAKAI!

Eve: BUT MIKU IS ABLE TO DUCK UNDERNEATH! She keeps running and rebounds off the ropes, and by the time Raven turns around–

Deadprez: JUMPING HIP ATTACK CONNECTS TO THE FACE OF RAVEN ROBERTS!

Gavin Kirkland: It should have bee-

Eve: Shut up.

Deadprez: Raven Roberts falls down to the mat, and Miku eyes the ropes, seemingly getting an idea!

Gavin Kirkland: She slips over onto the apron and grabs hold of the top rope, looking carefully to take aim at the Bird of Prey, before…

Eve: She yanks on the top rope and slingshots herself over! Flipping over the top rope and landing with a SENTON on Raven Roberts! The slingshot somersault senton connects, and that flip gave her some extra momentum causing quite a rough landing on Raven Roberts!

Deadprez: She immediately takes the opportunity to hook the legs, thinking championship glory may be within reach!

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOO-

Gavin Kirkland: OH, Raven managed to get her hand on the rope! She was too close to the ropes for that pin to work, and now Miku is infuriated as she swears up a storm. Not sure if it’s directed towards Raven Roberts herself or the referee.

Eve: I’m thinking it was the Bird of Prey, because now she turned around her initial predicament by jumping on top of Raven similarly to her opponent’s Lou Thesz Press!

Deadprez: And she’s unleashing her own form of the ground and pound on the Huntress now, payback for earlier and payback out of sheer indignation for grabbing that rope, I guess!

Gavin Kirkland: They’re scrapping it out, and now Raven is able to force Miku to fall over to the side, causing them to trade positions! It always seems to end up this way for Miku, huh?

Eve: Oh, but Miku is able to scoot herself back while Raven was trying to steady herself, and now Raven is dealing with a flurry of boots to the face by the cagey Miku Sakai!

Deadprez: Getting practically stomped like that on the face has to hurt, but Raven is trying to tough it out as she scratches and claws for an opening–

Gavin Kirkland: OH! She caught that last boot, and IMMEDIATELY TRANSITIONED IT INTO A KNEEBAR!

Eve: It looks like Raven’s face got a little bruised from that, but she’s got her teeth gritted tightly as she works and manages to fully lock in the kneebar! Miku Sakai begins screaming and flailing as she desperately struggles to get out of this, but they aren’t close enough to the ropes!

Deadprez: That won’t stop her from trying, though, as she tries kicking Raven with her free leg, but she isn’t able to reach her face!

Gavin Kirkland: She just ends up stomping on whatever limbs of Raven Roberts are close enough, trying to get her to release the kneebar as soon as possible!

Eve: WAIT, IS THAT–

Deadprez: VEENA ADAMS SUDDENLY GRABS ONE OF RAVEN’S ARMS THAT MIKU WAS KICKING, AND SNAPPED ON AN ARMBAR!

Gavin Kirkland: THAT’S MY QUEEN! THAT’S MY GOAT! THE GOLDEN STAR WON’T BE STOPPED BY HER OWN WEAPON!

Eve: And now Raven Roberts is stuck in that arm bar while she’s still got the knee bar locked in and wrenched using her other arm!

Deadprez: And Miku’s leg is still trapped with that knee bar! It’s like a pretzel of arms and legs in that ring, and everybody is trying to tear them each others’ off!

Gavin Kirkland: It can’t just stay like this, something is going to have to happen!

Eve: Raven is wincing awfully bad thanks to that armbar; Miku has been in the kneebar for longer, but she’s absolutely refusing to quit or tap out!

Deadprez: Suddenly, Raven frantically releases the kneebar and uses all her might to leverage herself to release tension on the armbar, before kicking herself over Veena to execute a sudden rollup! IS THIS IT?!

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Gavin Kirkland: AND A KICKOUT BY VEENA! Raven and Miku are both looking worse for wear after having dealt with those submission holds…

Deadprez: Now Veena, after having kicked out of that rollup, gets back to her feet and flips over Raven in a sort of pseudo-somersault senton to hook the legs overhead!

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Eve: But Raven Roberts is the one to kick out this time– WAIT, HERE COMES MIKU SAKAI ROLLING THROUGH WITH VEENA TO GET HER INTO A PINNING PREDICAMENT!

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Gavin Kirkland: THANK GAWD, VEENA IS ABLE TO KICK OUT! Wait, wait, NO! RAVEN ROBERTS HURLS MIKU OFF VEENA BEFORE SHE CAN TRY ANOTHER PIN, AND THEN RAVEN HERSELF ROLLS MIKU UP!

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Deadprez: BUT THIS TIME, MIKU KICKS OUT!

Eve: Despite everything that’s happened so far, absolutely nobody in this match is willing to give an inch!

Gavin Kirkland: And now all the women in the match are looking to catch their breaths as the crowd gives a brief applause for the spectacle; it ain’t over until Veena comes out on top, though, YOU GOT THIS QUEEN!

Deadprez: Veena did take the least of the burden during that grouped up exchange of submissions, so you’re actually sort of right; she’s getting back to her feet first, with Raven following suit slowly thereafter!

Eve: Meanwhile, Miku Sakai, still clutching her knee in pain after having taken considerable damage from Raven’s kneebar, rolled out of the ring from under the bottom rope and slipped out of sight!

Gavin Kirkland: Enough about her, though, the Golden Star is in the ring, and she’s about to BEAT the Bird of Prey! The two stunning warriors lock eyes and get ready to fight!

Deadprez: In a situation like this, it really is hard to imagine who is going to be able to come out on top; Veena has shown what an incredible champion she is during this reign and her previous National Elite Championship reign, but Raven Roberts is so proven at this point in her career that it’s tough to count her out!

Eve: No better time to find out than Pain for Pride Kingdom! Veena puts her guard up as she approaches Raven, and the two ladies begin trading strikes, with Veena Adams once again putting that MMA training to good use as her strikes are able to land more often and more efficiently than Raven’s!

Gavin Kirkland: YES QUEEN! Wait, NO QUEEN! Raven just caught one of her strikes and did a hip throw to the canvas!

Deadprez: And she’s got the arm trapped in a hold, too, wrenching it just as Veena did earlier to Raven’s own arm!

Eve: Veena struggles for a moment before she contorts her body to gain some leverage and room to move, and then she does a sweep with her legs to trip Raven Roberts! The Bird of Prey falls down to a supine position, and Veena immediately rolls her up, looking to capitalize on the confusion!

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Gavin Kirkland: :patrickboo: A kick out by the Bird of Prey, unfortunately, and Raven Roberts is still in the game! Veena didn’t seem to be relying on that rollup working, though; it seemed to just be an extra attempt to win early, because she immediately transitioned out of it, flipping Raven over onto her abdomen again!

Deadprez: And she floats over Raven, fluidly sliding her way down to her legs where she grabs the dominant right leg of the Bird of Prey and hooks it underneath her arm– or so she tried, but Raven immediately began kicking and flailing her leg away from Veena’s arms!

Eve: It looks like she’s trying to get it back, but Raven swivels herself on the canvas to move her legs away from Veena– not only that, she slides herself out from under Veena and lurches her arms forward aggressively, grabbing hold of the Golden Star’s head!

Gavin Kirkland: She hooks her arm underneath the chin of Veena, and– SHE’S GOT A GUILLOTINE CHOKE LOCKED IN! THE GUILLOTINE CHOKEHOLD! STOP IT RAVEN, VEENA NEEDS OXYGEN TO NOURISH HER PERFECT FACE!

Deadprez: She can’t hear you, Gavin, and I don’t think she would care even if she did! Veena is struggling frantically to get out of the hold, but Raven is holding on tight! The Bird of Prey is having trouble getting the body scissors on, though – without those, the chokehold is pretty unstable.

Eve: It seems Veena had that part of the move scouted, because she’s got both of Raven’s legs grabbed and preventing them from trapping her in the body scissors!

Gavin Kirkland: Raven starts struggling to keep the guillotine chokehold locked in thanks to Veena’s maneuvering and flailing– the grip is starting to loosen!

Deadprez: OH! AND VEENA IS ABLE TO SLIP OUT! She immediately crouches upon getting out of the clutches of the Bird of Prey, as she goes to grab the leg of Raven Roberts; she yanks back on it while pushing Raven, perfectly executing a single leg takedown and keeping the ankle held in an ankle lock!

Gavin Kirkland: Now it’s Raven on the receiving end of the pain as she starts kicking back with her free leg, trying to get herself out of the ankle lock- Veena is relentless, though, as she begins kicking and stomping at the Bird of Prey’s legs before eventually spinning herself around the leg and hooking it underneath her arm!

Eve: She’s got it locked in! A single leg Boston crab by the Golden Star, and it seems like she’s dead set on taking Raven Roberts apart limb by limb, be it her arm or her leg, as long as she’s able to put the Bird of Prey down and retain her title!

Gavin Kirkland: What beauty, what technique! Veena is really wrenching that single leg Boston crab as far back as she could– I think Raven’s boot is literally making contact with the back of her head! Is she that flexible, or is Veena a few seconds away from breaking Raven’s leg and back?!

Deadprez: She very well might be, and that agonized expression on Raven’s face is telling the tale, but nevertheless she continues scratching and clawing her way towards the ropes!

Eve: AND SHE MAKES IT! RAVEN GRABBED THE BOTTOM ROPE AS TIGHT AS SHE CAN, LIKE IT WAS A LITERAL LIFESAVER! Veena tried keeping the hold locked in longer, but Raven immediately performed an erratic thrust kick with her other leg, knocking Veena down!

Gavin Kirkland: Raven Roberts slipped herself onto the apron and grabbed a hold of the ropes, using them for leverage to help her stagger up and take pressure off of her leg! But the Golden Star, my goddess, my queen, she isn’t done with Raven yet, she got right back up and swung with a huge lariat!

Deadprez: BUT RAVEN DUCKS UNDERNEATH AND EXECUTES A SHOULDER BARGE FROM BETWEEN THE TOP AND MIDDLE ROPES!

Eve: And then another shoulder barge for good measure, causing Veena to fall back and clutch at her midsection in pain!

Gavin Kirkland: Watch out Veena, Raven is about to come back in to pin– wait, what’s that?!

(The camera panned over to ringside, where Miku was revealed to have grabbed Raven’s foot, not allowing her to get into the ring!)

Deadprez: IT’S MIKU SAKAI! And right beside her is… a table, fully set up! Did she prep that outside while Veena and Raven were fighting?!

Eve: Miku Sakai grabs both of Raven’s legs and YANKS HER OFF THE APRON WITH A POWERBOMB RIGHT THROUGH THE TABLE!!

(CRRAAAAAAAAAAASH!!!)

Crowd: :damn:

Gavin Kirkland: RAVEN ROBERTS GOT POWERBOMBED THROUGH THAT TABLE, CAUSING IT TO BREAK IN HALF! THE CROWD IS GOING WILD HERE!

Deadprez: Oh, and now Miku Sakai is flipping Raven Roberts off!

Miku Sakai: FUCK YOU, STUPID BITCH!

Eve: There’s some of that classic vulgarity that Miku Sakai is well known for throughout the EAW Universe! She turns around, looking to head into the ring when–

Gavin Kirkland: OH MY GOD! SUICIDE DIVE BY VEENA ADAMS FROM OUTTA NOWHERE! SHE IS BEAUTY, SHE IS GRACE, SHE WILL CRASH INTO YOUR FACE!

Deadprez: Veena’s suicide dive sent Miku Sakai crashing hard against the barricade; immediately afterwards, the Golden Star grabbed a fistful of Miku Sakai’s hair and violently rolled her back into the ring before sliding in herself!

Eve: The moment both ladies were in the ring, Veena hooked the leg, looking to capitalize on that suicide dive!

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Gavin Kirkland: OH NO! WHAT THE–

Deadprez: MIKU SAKAI JUST RAKED VEENA’S EYES AS HARD AS SHE COULD, AND NOW THE GOLDEN STAR FALLS BACK CLUTCHING HER EYES WHILE SCREAMING! MIKU CALLS THAT CAT SCRATCH FEVER, AND SHE JUST USED IT TO GET OUT OF THE PIN!

Miku Sakai: AND FUCK YOU TOO!

Eve: It’s a dirty tactic, but it IS a triple threat match; there are no disqualifications, so anybody could do a move like that if they wanted to!

Gavin Kirkland: As a result of that dastardly display, Miku Sakai escaped the pin easily, and now she’s gotten to her feet as well!

Deadprez: Veena is starting to get to her feet, albeit later than Miku, and she still has her eyes clutched as she staggers up!

Eve: BUT MIKU KNOCKS HER BACK DOWN WITH A RUNNING HIGH KNEE! It’s not looking good for the champion here–

Gavin Kirkland: Oh, especially not with that mischievous look Miku Sakai has on her face… she’s getting on the apron, surely planning something bad for my queen!

Deadprez: Miku Sakai grabs hold of the top rope, feeling it as she adjusts her grip… and then she just waits there, measuring up the National Elite Champion!

Eve: Ask and you shall receive, Veena is nothing if not a tough opponent to keep down, and the Golden Star herself once again starts staggering to her feet!

Gavin Kirklland: Just as my goddess gets back to a standing position, Miku Sakai immediately leaps up as high as she can, bringing the top rope down simultaneously to springboard off the ropes and start hurtling towards the National Elite Champion!

Deadprez: A SPRINGBOARD FOREARM BY MIKU SAKAI CONNECTS, AND THE CHAMPION GOES DOWN ONCE MORE!

Eve: AND THIS TIME, IT’S MIKU SAKAI GOING FOR THE COVER! THREE YEARS SINCE HER LAST SINGLES TITLE, IS IT FINALLY HER TIME?!

ONEEEEEEEEE!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Gavin Kirkland: :blessed:

Deadprez: Veena is able to kick out before the three count! Her eyes are definitely looking redder than they were when she got here, though.

Eve: From her perspective, as long as she’s able to retain her National Elite Championship, it will all have been worth it!

Gavin Kirkland: Oh, suddenly, Miku Sakai sticks her middle fingers up in the air – I think that’s Miku’s way of signaling for Veena’s end!

Deadprez: She makes it back to her feet, waiting to take Veena ou-

(CRRRAAAAAAAAAAACK!)

Deadprez: :krabs:

Gavin Kirkland: WHAT THE HELL?! A STEEL CHAIR JUST FLEW IN FROM OUT OF THE CAMERA’S VIEW AND SLAMMED INTO THE HEAD OF MIKU SAKAI!

(The cameras panned over to show Raven Roberts with a fiery expression on her face, breathing heavily with some cuts on her back.)

Raven Roberts: Oh… no… you don’t…

Eve: It’s shades of Grand Rampage once more, except this time the tables have turned! Miku was the one to ambush Raven Roberts when they had their incredible showdown at Grand Rampage, but Raven was able to get her revenge for that as well as everything else Miku has done to her!

Deadprez: Raven sprinted forward as Miku Sakai clutched her head in pain – she wasn’t allowed to recuperate for long before she got tackled by Raven, who forced her all the way into the corner, where she began decimating Miku with a flurry of stomps assisted by gripping the top ropes with both hands for leverage!

Gavin Kirkland: But now Miku Sakai caught one of her boots and spun her out, causing her to get dizzy for a moment!

Eve: One moment is all it takes, Gavin, as Miku used that moment to swap places with Raven, forcing her into the position of being cornered!

Deadprez: And now Miku Sakai is fighting back, lighting up Raven’s chest with her personal flurry of knife-edge chops!

Gavin Kirkland: PLUS A DIRECT SLAP TO THE FACE OF RAVEN ROBERTS FOR GOOD MEASURE! Oh, I don’t like that look, I don’t think I’ve ever seen the Bird of Prey look quite that furious at anybody in my life…

Eve: A HEADBUTT BY RAVEN ROBERTS FORCES MIKU SAKAI TO STAGGER BACK FROM THE IMPACT!

Deadprez: OH MY GOD! FACELIFT! FACELIFT! FACELIFT CONNECTS, RAVEN ROBERTS’ SPINNING HEEL KICK, AND MIKU SAKAI JUST COLLAPSED!

Gavin Kirkland: RAVEN IS GOING FOR THE PIN!

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Eve: I can’t believe it… Miku Sakai’s resilience is truly astounding. How is she still in this?!

Deadprez: Somehow, some way, she managed to kick out of it, and at this point, Raven Roberts is looking tired of it all! So close to Grand Slam championship glory, but still just a bit out of reach!

Gavin Kirkland: Raven grabs Miku Sakai by the hair and drags her back to the corner with a resolute expression on her face :lupe:

Eve: Oh boy, things are about to escalate – I mean that somewhat literally, too, because the Bird of Prey just lifted Miku Sakai up onto the top of the corner!

Deadprez: And now she’s climbing up too! But Miku Sakai is struggling up top, she doesn’t want ANY of what Raven Roberts has planned here!

Gavin Kirkland: It’s turning into an all out brawl at the top of the corner! Lefts and rights being thrown back and forth as both women try to knock the other off without losing their own balance! Who is going to be the one that manages to stay on, and who is going to fall to their demise?! WAIT IS THAT-

Eve: VEENA ADAMS RUNS UP UNDERNEATH THEM JUST AS RAVEN ROBERTS PUTS MIKU SAKAI INTO A FRONT FACELOCK! OH GAWD!

Deadprez: SHE GRABS A HOLD OF RAVEN ROBERTS’ LEGS! THE BIRD OF PREY, MIKU SAKAI, AND THE GOLDEN STAR ARE ALL CONNECTED HERE, AND THE SITUATION COULDN’T BE ANY MORE VOLATILE!

Gavin Kirkland: OH MY GOD!

(CRAAAAAAAAAASH!)

Deadprez: TOWER OF DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! VEENA ADAMS JUST POWERBOMBED RAVEN ROBERTS, AND THE BIRD OF PREY JUST PERFORMED AN EXTENDED SUPERPLEX ON MIKU SAKAI! EVERYONE INVOLVED MAY BE DEAD!

Eve: Raven and Miku certainly look unconscious; Miku landed all the way on the far end of the ring from how far she was flung by that move!

Gavin Kirkland: Veena Adams immediately crawls over and hooks the leg on Raven Roberts!

ONNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Gavin Kirkland: I don’t believe it! The Bird of Prey is still in this?! How could she possibly kick out after going through something like that?!

Eve: She may just be running on adrenaline at this point, but you can never underestimate how powerful adrenaline can be – or, for that matter, how powerful the Huntress herself is

Deadprez: I don’t think Veena wants to waste any time, because she crawls past Raven Roberts and sets her sights on Miku Sakai instead; it takes her a moment to get there, but she finally hooks the leg!

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Gavin Kirkland: OH MY GOD, IT’S OVER!

Deadprez: Wait… NO IT’S NOT! MIKU SAKAI MANAGED TO GET HER HAND TO THE BOTTOM ROPE! SHE WAS FLUNG SO FAR FROM THAT TOP TURNBUCKLE THAT SHE ENDED UP ADJACENT TO THE OPPOSITE CORNER’S ROPES!

Eve: Veena is looking infuriated – she pulls Miku Sakai away from the ropes and hooks the legs again!

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Gavin Kirkland: DAMN IT, SHE KICKED OUT! THEY’RE STILL IN THIS, SOMEHOW!

Deadprez: All three of these women have given it all they had, and I think something is bound to break in one of them at this point!

Eve: Raven Roberts starts staggering to just a knee, before doubling over from the pain of that attack as well as all the torment she’s been put through in this match!

Gavin Kirkland: Miku Sakai is twitching on the other end, too, and she’s started reaching for the ropes to try to help her stagger back up!

Deadprez: Veena backs herself up into the corner, trying to catch her breath as she starts staggering up too!

Eve: Raven Roberts and Miku Sakai lock eyes as they begin staggering towards each other… after all they’ve put each other through, will one of them be able to walk out of here as the new National Elite Champion?!

Gavin Kirkland: Raven picks up speed… and she makes it to Miku Sakai! IMMEDIATELY HER LEG SPINS AS SHE GOES FOR IT AGAIN! THE FACELIFT!

Deadprez: BUT MIKU SAKAI DUCKS UNDERNEATH AND SCRATCHES THE EYES OF RAVEN ROBERTS, JUST AS SHE DID VEENA ADAMS!

Eve: Raven Roberts staggers back in agony as she clutches her face– BUT MIKU SAKAI ISN’T LETTING HER REST, SHE IMMEDIATELY JUMPS UP AND–

Gavin Kirkland: CUCK KILLER! CUCK KILLER! THE DOUBLE KNEE FACEBREAKER CONNECTS, AND RAVEN GOES DOWN LIKE A SACK OF BRICKS!

Deadprez: MIKU SAKAI GETS BACK TO HER FEET AND REACHES DOWN TO HOOK THE LEG!

(BAM!)

Eve: A SPEAR BY VEENA ADAMS CONNECTS, AND MIKU SAKAI GETS SENT CRASHING DOWN INTO THE MAT!

Deadprez: THAT’S SHADES OF MR. DEDEDE RIGHT THERE! VEENA PAYING TRIBUTE TO HER UNCLE!

Gavin Kirkland: THAT’S MY GODDESS! THE GOLDEN STAR IS SHINING BRIGHTER THAN EVER! AND SHE DOESN’T WASTE ANY TIME, SHE IMMEDIATELY FALLS TO MIKU’S LEVEL AND GRABS HER ARM–

Eve: KILLER QUEEN’S RHAPSODY! THE KIMURA LOCK IS APPLIED, AND MIKU SAKAI IS SCREAMING!

Deadprez: THAT’S ONE OF THE MOST DANGEROUS SUBMISSION MANEUVERS OUT THERE, AND MIKU SAKAI IS SCRAMBLING, LOOKING FOR ANY HOPE–

Gavin Kirkland: YOU’VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME! THE TIP OF HER BOOT JUST BARELY MANAGED TO GET ONTO THE ROPE!

Veena Adams: Oh, I have had ENOUGH of this bullshit!

Eve: A truly intimidating declaration by Veena, who released the submission hold only to bash Miku Sakai in the head with a vicious elbow smash! And another! AND ANOTHER!

Gavin Kirkland: SHE’S JUST BEATING THE HELL OUT OF MIKU SAKAI, EMPLOYING THOSE DANGEROUS MMA STRIKES!

Deadprez: Now Veena’s gotten to her feet… and she’s climbing the corner to the top turnbuckle! Raven is trying to reach for Miku, but she’s unable to move!

Eve: Veena Adams points up into the air before she turns her back to the fallen body of Miku Sakai!

Gavin Kirkland: SHE BACKFLIPS OFF THE TOP TURNBUCKLE IN A MOONSAULT… AND LANDS THE DOUBLE FOOT STOMP ON MIKU SAKAI! FATAL VOW JUST CONNECTED, AND VEENA DRAGS MIKU SAKAI AWAY FROM THE ROPES AND AWAY FROM THE BIRD OF PREY, RAVEN ROBERTS! IS THIS IT?!

Deadprez: SHE’S HOOKING BOTH OF THE LEGS AS TIGHTLY AS SHE CAN!

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

(Ding! Ding! Ding!)

(“7 Rings” by Ariana Grande began blaring through the speakers as Veena Adams raised her arm in triumph, while Raven’s arm dropped, unable to reach them in time.)

Stephie Love: HERE IS YOUR WINNER… AAAAAAAAAAND STILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL THE NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON! VEEEEEEEENAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! AAAAAAAAAAAADAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMS!

Eve: I cannot describe how brutal the carnage we just witnessed was, I can’t describe how much pain and agony these women have gone through… But they put it ALL on the line for one of the biggest prizes in professional wrestling, and only one woman was able to come out on top!

Deadprez: As much credit as possible to Raven Roberts and Miku Sakai for giving it their 100% and giving Veena one of the toughest matches of her career, but at the end of the day, the Golden Star continues to shine brighter than ever over her domain!

Gavin Kirkland: MY GODDESS RETAINED, I NEVER HAD ANY DOUBT!

(The video feed lingered as Veena was helped to her feet and was given the National Elite Championship to raise in triumphant victory, Raven is leaning on the ropes angry and seething, while Miku is slowly rolling in pain, before the screen faded to black.)

(The camera cuts to Bella Braxton in the ring.)

Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for…

Crowd: ONE FALL!!

( ‘ballad of a homeschooled girl’ by Olivia Rodrigo blasts through the P.A. System as Brianna Hill makes her presence felt here tonight at Pain for Pride. She looks at the scope of the stadium wearing a special attire for this match. She makes her way over to the ring as the fans boo the La Familia member. )

Bella Braxton: INTRODUCING FIRST!… FROM CANCUN, MEXICO… WEIGHING IN AT 119 POUNDS!…EL ALMA DE LA FAMILIA… BRIANNA HILL!!

Rich Russillo: This match between Valerie and Brianna has been heated, to say the least. They both were a part of La Famila, with Valerie being the main reason why Brianna was a part of La Familia to begin with. Tension rose between them after Valerie’s unsuccessful attempt at the Specialists Championship back at Shock Value.

James Peters: Yep! Valerie felt none of teammates in La Famila were there for her when she needed it and this led to more turmoil and eventually saw Valerie go up against Roberto for his title at Grand Rampage. While she couldn’t win the title from Roberto, her issues were still there with Brianna which has now led to this heated collision course that’s about to happen here tonight at Pain for Pride Kingdom!

Persephone: Where’s my baby? Where’s Luis, the REAL 24/7 winner? Why isn’t he here with Brianna! WHERE IS HE?????

James Peters: Can you calm down?

( Brianna rolls into the ring as feels the boos and jeers coming from the crowd here tonight. Slowly her music fades away, and ‘Bad Girls’ by M.I.A blasts as Valerie Hellstorm makes her entrance here at Pain for Pride. She would get a positive reaction from the crowd here tonight as she makes her way down the aisle and towards the ring! )

Bella Braxton: AND HER OPPONENT!… FROM LAS VEGAS, NEVADA… WEIGHING IN AT 135 POUNDS!…REBEL ROSE… VALERIE HELLSTORM!!!

Rich Russillo: It should be noted that this is Valerie’s first singles match here at Pain for Pride, getting a spot like this is pretty big as I imagine the pressure of having one is quite big not only for her but for Brianna as well. Their issues finally have an endpoint and Pain for Pride looks to be where they settle the score!

James Peters: Oh for sure Rich, let’s see if things truly end here between them, I know the weeks leading up to this match have been intense on both sides!

Persephone: This match needed my Luis here! He’s in La Famila, be with Brianna!

James Peters: https://tenor.com/en-CA/view/ight-this-guy-gif-13517000966315468948

( Valerie enters the ring as she stands in the opposite corner. Her music begins to fade out as both ladies look ready to go as the referee checks on both of them. Referee calls for the bell! )

( DING! DING! DING! )

Rich Russillo: The bell rings for this match and-

James Peters: VALERIE AND BRIANNA WENT STRAIGHT AT EACH OTHER! NO TIME FOR A JOCKEY OF POSITION OR A COLLAR AND ELBOW TIE-UP, THEY ARE THROWING HAYMAKERS AT EACH OTHER RICH!

Rich Russillo: Lefts being thrown by Valerie, Rights thrown by Brianna, on the biggest stage possible, two former friends wasting no time getting in each other’s business here tonight at Pain for Pride. Brianna clocks Valerie with one specific right! Valerie has her head down as it looks like Brianna is gonna do something here.

James Peters: NOPE! Valerie just took her Brianna down with a double leg takeover! She’s inflicting even more damage to Brianna as she’s mounted on top of her with even more punches being thrown! This is a real grudge between these two ladies Rich, you can feel the animosity between them in this match.

Rich Russillo: Brianna manages to shift her weight as she’s the one that’s mounted on top of Valerie as now she exchanges punches! Both ladies are now rolling trying to get in position for those mounted punches as they end tumbling to the outside!

Persephone: Let’s just all be glad the referee didn’t get mixed up in that rolling sequence. Knowing how fragile they are it probably would have been deadly for them.

James Peters: Valerie and Brianna both are starting to get up as their rage for each other is seen in their eyes! Brianna goes for a hard slap and hits Valerie in the face!

Persephone: That slap was so hard, I bet you can even see Brianna’s handprint there!

Rich Russillo: That’s a bit of an exaggeration, as Valerie responds back with a Superkick! It lands right on Brianna’s face as Valerie goes for an irish whip to Brianna and-

( BAM! )

James Peters: Brianna hits the ring head first! As she-OH MY GOD! HELLUVA KICK FROM VALERIE RIGHT AFTER THAT IRISH WHIP. SHE LANDS THAT MANEUVER CONNECTING WITH THAT HELLUVA KICK TO THE RING POST! She throws Brianna back into the ring and quickly goes for the cover!

Referee: ONE!

Referee: TWO!!

Referee: KICKOUT!!

Rich Russilo: Brianna kicks out, would have been a real shame if the match ended that quickly here at Pain for Pride.

Persephone: BOOOO, it should have ended right there!!

James Peters: Regardless, Valerie continues the assault towards Brianna as she picks Brianna up and goes straight with a Sleeper Hold! She’s looking to make her former partner pass out or tap out here at Pain for Pride. She wrenches in that Sleeper Hold as Brianna is gasping for air! Brianna grabs for the referee for this match which prompts a commotion between everybody. In the ring! Valerie slightly lets her guard down as Brianna escapes from the sleeper hold and goes for a chop block on Valerie!

Rich Russillo: She goes for the right knee of Valerie as Valerie screams in pain from that chop block. Brianna runs from the ropes and back to nail a Basement Dropkick to the back of Valerie!

Persephone: That was an insane shot to the back!

James Peters: It was just one dropkick???

Persephone: Shut up nerd. Do you want me to do my job or not?

Rich Russillo: Anyways, Brianna gets Valerie right back to her feet and lands a Back Body Drop! A picture perfect back body drop of that as it immediately lands a standing elbow drop! Lands directly on the abdomen of Valerie and she feels the pain from that Elbow Drop! She goes for cover on Valerie!

Referee: ONE!

Referee: TWO!!

James Peters: Valerie kicks out from that as even in the early goings of this match, Brianna is already looking frustrated that she couldn’t put away Valerie right there.

Rich Russillo: Brianna is now putting Valerie in an Abdominal Stretch! Very strategic maneuver here as she looks to stretch Valerie out and inflict some more pain!

James Peters: Brianna has that Abdominal Stretch looked on deep on Valerie as it looks like she is getting the lay of the land as she puts Valerie into this stretch! Valerie tries to escape from the move but Brianna is stopping as it looks Brianna just said to Valerie but we couldn’t pick what she said!

( Despite not being heard by the fans, Brianna’s words clearly sparked something in the Girl Boss as Valerie manages to nail a few elbow shots to Brianna, causong the fans to cheer! )

James Peters: Valerie is laying in those shots towards Brianna!

Persephone: Brianna is an idiot for trying to piss Valerie off early in the match, don’t do that!

Rich Russillo: Valerie manages to get out of that Abdominal Stretch as she nails a chop to the chest to Brianna! She nails another one, and another one! She’s got Brianna in the corner now as she’s laying some forearm shots! The tides could be turning back into Val’s side as she runs from the opposite corner and back and-

James Peters: BRIANNA NAILS HER WITH A SCORPION KICK! THE ATHLETICISM TO DO THAT IS UNREAL! That just caused Valerie to get stunned as that allows Brianna to go for a Knee Facebuster! Valerie looks to be hurt from that Knee Facebuster as Brianna goes for a double leg takedown into a Pinning Combination! The ref makes the count!

Referee: ONE!

Referee: TWO!!

….

Rich Russillo: Valerie once again kicks out as Brianna begins to argue with the referee! Looks like she’s not too happy to see it wasn’t a three count!

Referee: I’m counting as fair as possible!

Brianna Hill: No the hell you’re no-

James Peters: WAIT! VALERIE GOES FOR ROLL-UP FROM BEHIND! THE REFEREE IS COUNTING!

Referee: ONE!

Referee: TWO!

Rich Russillo: Brianna gets the shoulder up as both ladies are up in the ring! Valerie runs towards Brianna!

James Peters: Brianna meets Valerie with an Arm drag! Valerie gets right back up as now Brianna charges towards her but look at that! Valerie lands an Arm drag of her own to Brianna! Brianna gets up as now both ladies go charging towards each other and they simultaneously go for an arm drag as their respective arms locked! Brianna tries to go for a Lariat on the spot but Valerie ducks and goes for a jumping neckbreaker!

Rich Russillo: Valerie immediately goes for a submission as SHE APPLIES THE CATTLE MUTILATION ON BRIANNA HILL! SHE HAS THE ARMS LOCKED WITH THE CATTLE MATTULATION!!! THE CROWD IS SCREAMING FOR BRIANNA TO TAP OUT!

Persephone: I need Luis to put me in a Cattle Mutilation.

James Peters: :francis: What’s wrong with you…?

Rich Russillo: I’m ignoring all that because look! Look! Brianna has her right foot on the bottom rope! I guess the submission was a little closer to the ropes Brianna was able to push herself to a get rope break which might have saved her the match.

James Peters: Brianna rolls herself out of the ring, looking to a breather after being placed in that Cattle Mutilation!

Persephone: What do you mean breather, she needs to get her ass back in the ring right now and I think Valerie agrees with me! She rolls out to outside as she brings Brianna up by her hair! That hair pull gotta hurt like a bitch and- VALERIE WITH A BACK BODY DROP OF HER ONTO THE SIDE OF THE APRON! SHE’S PANDERING TO THE CROWD WHO’S CHEERING HER ON!

Rich Russillo: Valerie brings herself back into the ring as she waits for Brianna get back on her feet! She grabs Brianna and is trying to go for a Coquina Clutch and- BRIANA SLIPS AWAY! She avoids being put into a Coquina Clutch submission and LANDS A BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE! What a strike there from Brianna to Valerie!

James Peters: Brianna got Valerie stunned there as she now goes for Back Suplex right on the canvas! Brianna is eyeing that top rope… that top rope is calling her name! She’s climbing up to top and goes for an Elbow Drop and-VALERIE ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY! Brianna’s right elbow hits full impact on the ring canvas!!!

Persephone: Brianna is quenching look! She’s feeling the effects of that missed Elbow drop and-VALERIE GOES RIGHT AT BRIANNA AND JUST LANDED SLICE BREAD #2 ON HER! VALERIE HOOKS THE LEG OF BRIANNA AS THE REFEREE MAKES HIS COUNT!

Referee: ONE!

Referee: TWO!!

….

Rich Russillo: Brianna kicks out as unlike Brianna who had argued with the referee before about counting faster, Valerie doesn’t waste and goes straight into more offense towards Brianna as her opponent is now lying in the corner! Valerie begins nailing some stomps to Brianna in that corner as the crowd is counting with her with each stomp!

Crowd: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! SIX! SEVEN! EIGHT! NINE!

James Peters: Valerie just stopped herself at nine as she walks towards the opposite corner and runs back towards Brianna and- RUNNING HIP ATTACK! RUNNING HIP ATTACK FROM VALERIE! VALERIE LOOKS FIRED UP AS THE CROWD HERE IN ORLANDO ARE BEHIND HER!

Rich Russillo: Valerie goes back to that opposite corner, she’s psyching herself up as she’s looking to go for a punt kick on Brianna! The crowd is drawing for that anticipation as Valerie goes for it and… Brianna once again rolls out of the ring! The crowd here in Orlando are booing this and why wouldn’t they, Brianna once rolling out of the way to avoid contact.

Persephone: She needs to just walk out on the match entirely so this can end. Anyways it seems as Valerie isn’t taking this lightly as she goes for a diving crossbody to Brianna and- BRIANNA MOVES OUT OF THE WAY! VALERIE LANDS STOMACH FIRST! Brianna takes advantage of the situation as she shoves Valerie into the ring post! Valerie looks to be bleeding a little bit from that ring-post shot as Brianna pushes Valerie back into the ring! Brianna climbs up to top rope and goes for that Elbow Drop and finally connects with it!

James Peters: Brianna wastes no time as she goes for the cover on Valerie!

Referee: ONE!

Referee: TWO!

….

……

Rich Russillo: Kick out from Valerie! Brianna doesn’t do the same thing as she did with the last pin attempt and argues with the referee, she instead targets the leg she chop blocked earlier in the match and lands some shots to that area! Knees right into the hamstring of Valerie and she follows it up with Knee drop to that same leg!

James Peters: Now look at this! Brianna once again taunting the crowd as she flexes on them! Brianna Hill is toying with Valerie right now, and I’m sure that bothers Valerie.

Persephone: It bothers me too! I want this to end as soon as possible, so hurry up!

Rich Russillo: Brianna turns Valerie around on her stomach as she applies a deadly submission of her own, a Sharpshooter! She has the legs locked on Valerie as she has her former La Famila member in this agonizing submission hold. Valerie is screaming, as Brianna looks to make a tap right here! Right now!

Persephone: I know Roberto and pookie bear Luis are in the back screaming for Valerie to tap out right now! Brianna has that shit locked in tight, I don’t know if Valerie is going to be able to escape!

James Peters: Valerie might just tap rig-NO WAIT! VALERIE IS USING ALL HER STRENGTH! AS SHE LIFTS HERSELF OFF THE GROUND AND IS GOING TOWARDS THE ROPES! SHE STEPS, AND STEPS, AND…

Rich Russillo: SHE MAKES IT! Valerie grabs onto that bottom rope as that forces a rope break! The referee is telling Brianna to let go of the submission but of course it takes Brianna an extra second or two to finally let go. That was a close one there for Valerie as clutches up on that bottom rope tightly.

James Peters: Brianna can’t believe it herself but it looks like she isn’t done there! She’s running from the opposite rope and back and LANDS A BASEBALL SLIDE DROPKICK TO VALERIE AS SHE TUMBLES TO THE OUTSIDE!

Persephone: Brianna now just hit an emote on us with a clean up taunt to the fans as she demands the referee to start counting Valerie out for this match. She’s gonna take any win possible if it means holding a victory over Valerie’s head!

( The referee for this match starts counting as Valerie is laid out on the floor outside the ring )

Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE!

( Valerie starts getting back up at that point, but this just prompts Brianna to break the count and go to the outside herself. )

Rich Russillo: I guess Brianna had second thoughts about a countout victory as she just broke up the count while Valerie was starting to get up. She lands a deadly chop to the chest of Valerie, the sound of that chop could be heard in the entire stadium! Brianna got Valerie leaning against the barricade and hit another chop to Valerie!

James Peters: Valerie feels the effects of those chops made as it looks like Brianna goes for another and-VALERIE DUCKS AND BRIANNA HITS HER HAND ON THE BARRICADE! Brianna is regretting going for that chop it seems, she feels the pain coming from that chop! Valerie looks to take advantage of that as she nails Brianna with a Pump Kick on the outside! Look at the air Valerie got from that! She brings Brianna back into the ring as she’s looking to go something else.

Rich Russillo: Brianna is set up in the corner once again as now Valerie lands a running high knee to Brianna! She follows it by bringing Brianna in the middle of the ring and lands a snazzy snap Suplex in the middle of the ring! She hooks the cover of Brianna as she makes the count!

Referee: ONE!

Referee: TWO!

….

James Peters: Kickout from Brianna! Valerie looks to continue more of her offense as she’s mounted on top of Brianna, before unleashing a fury of punches! A LOT OF PUNCHES BEING THROWN BY VALERIE! LEFT! RIGHT! LEFT! RIGHT! LEFT! RIGHT! LEFT! RIGHT!

Rich Russillo: Valeire lets out a scream of fury from those punches as the crowd reacts loudly for Valerie. Valerie brings Brianna back into the feet as she irish whips Brianna to the ropes and goes for a Pop-Up Powerbomb and-COUNTERED! Brianna reverses the Pop-Up Powerbomb into an inside cradle and now she’s pinning Valerie!

Referee: ONE!

Referee: TWO!

Referee: THREE!!!

…….

……….

James Peters: Valerie kicks out as right when Valerie gets back up to go for something against Brianna just gets met with a Pele Kick! Amazing move done by Brianna as she got a stunned Valerie in the middle of the ring as Brianna goes on the ring apron! She springboards off and lands a Springboard Clothesline to Valerie Hellstorm! What great amount of athleticism and air Brianna had there when she did all those moves in one sequence!

Persephone: Who cares? She’s probably just gonna find some way to mess things up again, like messing with the crowd like she did earlier.

Rich Russillo: I don’t think she is, Brianna picks Valerie right back up and holds on to her right wirst! She’s landing some heavy knees to the abdomen of Valerie! She’s landing more and more and more! She’s got Valeire leaning against the ropes. Brianna lands another chop to the chest towards Valerie as she’s holding to that right wrist! She goes straight to the top rope AND LANDS A TORNADO DDT! SURLY THAT’S GOT TO BE IT FOR VALERIE! Brianna goes for another cover on Valerie!

Referee: ONE!

Referee: TWO!

James Peters: Valerie kicks out! Brianna once again is focusing on that leg! She’s already done some damage to that leg and now she’s inflicting even more damage! Another elbow drop! Another knee drop! Brianna is gonna make work of Valerie’s leg here tonight! She is going for another submission hold and look at that! It’s a single leg Boston Crab this time. Brianna has it locked on to Valerie!

Persephone: PLEASE TAP! I JUST NEED AT LEAST ONE PERSON LOSE TO A SINGLE LEG BOSTON CRAB!

Rich Russillo: Valeire isn’t going to give up that easily Persephone, no matter how you wanna see someone lose to that submission. Valerie is shifting! She’s shifting her weight to the side! Can she do it??? SHE DOES! She’s lying on her back as she’s using the other leg to kick Brianna right in the face! Those are some brutal shots to the face from Valerie as Brianna is holding on to her face!

James Peters: Valerie gets back up as Brianna has her back towards Valerie-VALERIE LANDS A POISIONRANA TOWARDS BRIANNA! WHAT A FANTASTIC MOVE DONE BY VALERIE! Brianna is still on her feet though as Valerie realizes this Valeire picks Brianna up and goes straight with a Death Valley Driver!!!! Death Valley Driver from Valerie as she hooks the leg of Brianna as the referee starts to count!

Referee: ONE!

Referee: TWO!

Referee: THREE!!!

…..

……

……

. . .

James Peters: KICKOUT!

Rich Russillo: The match continues on! Valerie now looks to be the one doing limb as she targets the arm that Brianna used not only for that missed Elbow drop earlier in the match but also the chop she did to the outside on the Barricade! Valerie lands a Knee Drop of her own to that arm! Valerie is lifting that arm up and smacking on the canvas floor! Valerie now pulls Brianna into a Kimura Lock! Kimura Lock submission applied in this match as Valerie looks to Brianna tap once again!

Persephone: TAP! TAP! TAP! TAP!

James Peters: Valerie isn’t letting go, she’s doing everything in her to get Brianna to tap out here at Pain for Pride Kingdom! Brianna is indecisive! It looked like she was gonna tap but she composed herself! BRIANNA PUSHES HERSELF OUT AND IS SMASHING VALERIE’S FACE IN! SHE’S LANDING MORE AND MORE FOREARM SMASHES!! VALERIE IS BLEEDING EVEN MORE THEN SHE WAS BEFORE!!!!

( The fans cheer knowing the match continued, but they look surprised seeing the state Valerie is in. Brianna was able to escape the Kimura Lock, but in the process she busted Valerie’s head open from those forearm shots to the face. )

Rich Russillo: Valerie rolls out of the ring now! I don’t blame her after getting smashed in the face with those forearm shots. I have no clue what came of Brianna Hill but out of pure raw strength she was able to slip out and inflict some much needed damage towards Valerie. Brianna is looking towards Valerie who just starting to get up as she looks forwards and back I think I know what she’s looking for.

James Peters: I think I know as well Rich! Brianna runs from the opposite ropes and back and SUICIDE DIVE TO VALERIE! Valerie got sent to the barricade following that Suicide Dive going back first! Ouch! Brianna brings Valerie right back in the ring! She slides back in as immediately after Valerie gets right back up! SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMB! Brianna lands that move to absolute perfection! To the cover towards Valerie!!!

Referee: ONE!

Referee: TWO!!!

Rich Russillo: Valerie kicks out! Brianna can’t believe it as she smacks the canvas floor in frustration! Brianna is picking Valeire up as she’s smacking in the face more and more times! She lands one more chop to the chest to Valerie! She’s runs from the rope and back looking to land a running clothesline and-

James Peters: VALERIE COUNTERS THE CLOTHESLINE ATTEMPT WITH A SUPERKICK! IT STOPS BRIANNA RIGHT IN HER TRACKS! Valerie sees the advantage going in her favour; she’s got Brianna in position and lifts her up looking to go for ‘Moon Spiral’ Bloody Sunday to Brianna!

Rich Russillo: WAIT! Brianna was able to block it out and get out of the Moon Spiral attempt from Valerie! Brianna knocks Valerie’s head with a stiff elbow shot! She’s got Valerie dazed here and now she’s going for “The Grudge” Tiger Driver! She’s lifting Valerie off the ground but Valerie keeps her position! Brianna tries again but Valerie still keeps her position! Brianna tries one more time and-

James Peters: Valerie once again doesn’t budge and instead lifts Brianna up as she’s over Valerie lands right on her back! Valerie brings Brianna back into to her feet and in the sleeper hold position as she’s looking to once again make her tap or pass out! This attempt wouldn’t last long though as Brianna was able to slip through quickly as she grabs Valerie by the head as her entire head squeezed with her left arm! She has Valerie tightly to herself as she goes up and goes for a back suplex!

Rich Russillo: Brianna isn’t done just yet! While still holding onto Valerie she shifts her body weight around and picks Valerie up once again for another Back Suplex! She’s going to do for a third time and looks to hit one final back suplex to finish this sequence off and-

James Peters: VALERIE THIS TIME ROLLS BEHIND BRIANNA AND LANDS ON HER FEET! VALERIE NOW RUNNING THE ROPES AS SHE LOOKS FOR A CLOTHESLINE-

Rich Russillo: BUT BRIANNA HAD THE SAME IDEA, AND BOTH WOMEN COLLIDE AS THEY DROP TO THE MAT! This match continues on as both ladies slowly push themselves back up, not ready to quit! Valerie lands an elbow strike to Brianna! Brianna exchanges one right back! Valerie now lands an opened handed palm strike! Brianna returns the favour with one of her own! Valerie looks for a punch BUT IT WAS PUMP FAKE PUNCH! Brianna was anticipating a punch but instead Valerie lands a kick to the stomach and lands a DDT!

Rich Russillo: That DDT rocked Brianna good as she crawls her over to the ropes and this looks like the perfect opportunity for Valeire. She looks at the ropes behind her and charges towards it and back towards Brianna and LANDS ‘PRETTY PRIVILEGE’, THE RUNNING KNEE STRIKE! SHE NAILS THE MOVE TO BRIANNA WHO AT THIS POINT WE SEE SOME BRUISING ON HER FOREHEAD! Valerie heads for the cover on Brianna as the referee makes his count!

Referee: ONE!

Referee: TWO!

Referee: THREE!

James Peters: BRIANNA GETS THE SHOULDER UP! This match continues forward as we can see how brutally this match has affected both of these ladies. They have literally beaten each other to the core and it can be seen with the battlescars. Valerie bleeding from her head, and the bruising on Brianna’s head! While Valerie deals with the movement of one of her legs that was targeted, Brianna deals with the arm that was also targeted as if both these ladies are just tearing each other apart!

Rich Russillo: Well said James as Valerie brings Brianna back to go for the ‘Hollow Purple’ Ripcord Lariat to Brianna. She has her position she goes for it and-

James Peters: BRIANNA DUCKS UNDER IT! She grabs Valerie from behind and has her in a suplex position! Brianna might have saved herself from this match as lands another Saito Suplex to Valerie! This causes Valerie to stump and lean over to the second rope. Brianna takes a look at the opportunity that’s in front of her as she runs towards Valerie!

Rich Russillo: ‘HOTLINE’ TIGER FEINT KICK! BRIANNA LANDS THE HOTLINE TIGER FIENT KICK ON VALERIE! She doesn’t look like she’s going to stop there though. Valerie hits the ring canvas following that Tiger Feint Kick as Brianna springboards herself AND LANDS A SPRINGBOARD ELBOW DROP TO VALERIE! Look at that as well, Brianna uses the other arm to deliver the elbow drop instead of the dominant arm! What great thinking of Brianna. She goes and hooks the cover on Valerie as the referee starts counting!

Referee: ONE!

Referee: TWO!

Referee: THREE!

James Peters: Valerie gets the shoulder up in time! Brianna once again had an impression that even that couldn’t Valerie away. Brianna looks to waste no further time as she bring Valerie back to her feet. Brianna is looking for something here and it looks to be one of her finishing blows, ‘CRUSH CULTURE’ LIFTING ROLLING CUTTER! She brings Valerie up in the air and looks to hit surly.

Persephone: Yeah it’s joever for Valerie I fear!

Rich Russillo: NO WAIT! You might have just jinxed Brianna there Persephone as Valerie was able to land on her feet and avoids being hit with that ‘Crush Culture’ and instead lands a Double Knee Backbreaker to Brianna! Valerie was able to escape the Crush Culture and land a move of her own in the process. Valerie gets back up and goes into the Powerbomb position and land lifts Brianna up! She eyes that corner and looks to hit her with a Turnbuckle Powerbomb to Brianna but Brianna manages to slip through! She tries pushing Valerie to that corner but Valerie manages to stop herself there.

James Peters: Brianna runs towards Valerie at full speed but is nailed with a back kick from Valerie. Valerie then lands a European Uppercut to Brianna which manages to make her get stunned. Valerie uses this to her advantage as she goes for-YES! She goes for the ‘ORA ORA RUSH’ RIPCORD KNEE STRIKE! That knee strike itself did even more damage to Brianna as I don’t think Valerie is finished quite yet. She lifts Brianna off and-

Rich Russillo: VALERIE JUST CONNECTED WITH A BELLY-TO-BACK INVERTED MAT SLAM! HUGE MOVE THAT SHE LANDS IT ON BRIANNA AS SHE QUICKLY GOES FOR THE COVER! THE REF IS COUNTING!

Referee: ONE!

Referee: TWO!

Referee: THREE!

Persephone: Oh come on!

James Peters: Brianna kicks out! She’s still alive! Everyone here can’t believe it! Valerie couldn’t put Brianna away from that Ripcord Knee Styles Clash combination as no matter how they beat each other up no women refuses to quit here in Orlando. Valerie is shaking her head as she wastes no little time and immediately gets Brianna back to her feet. She lands another elbow to Brianna’s face as she goes for another attempt at the Bloody Sunday ‘Moon Spiral’! Valeries goes for it the second time-

Rich Russillo: BUT BRIANNA IS ABLE TO SLIP OUT OF VALERIE’S GRASP, BEFORE CONNECTING WITH AN UPPERCUT! VALERIE RESPONDS WITH A FOREARM- BUT BRIANNA RETALIATES WITH A DISCUS CLOTHESLINE, DROPPING BOTH WOMEN ONTO THE MAT!!!!

Persephone: This match just never ends, does it?

James Peters: Brianna and Valerie have both taken a lot out of each other, so I’m not surprised that neither woman can capitalize off of that exchange.

Rich Russillo: Me neither! This has been an extremely close match as both ladies are once again back up, and Valerie once again goes for another Superkick but it’s blocked by Brianna! Brianna counters that Superkick attempt and lands an Arm-Trap STO! Brianna isn’t done there though!

James Peters: She absolutely isn’t, she brings Valerie up to her and lands more wrist clenched knee strikes! Landing one after another, after another, and after another. Valerie holds on to her ribcage as Brianna hooks both of Valeire’s arms in the powerbomb position as SHE GOES FOR ‘THE GRUDGE’ TIGER DRIVER AND CONNECTS WITH IT! She pinning Valerie right here, this must be the end right?

Referee: ONE!

Referee:TWO!

Referee: THREE!

……

……

Rich Russillo: KICKOUT! KICK OUT FROM VALERIE AS BOTH LADIES ARE DOWN FROM THE EXHAUSTION! The crowd can’t believe it as both slowly get up to their knees!

( Valerie and Brianna look at each other, as they are both on their knees as they got nothing but disdain for one another. Valerie and Brianna exchange even more shots to each other! )

James Peters: THERE GOING RIGHT BACK TO TRADING BLOWS! ELBOWS FROM BOTH LADIES! ONE FROM VALERIE! ONE FROM BRIANNA! THE ELBOWS TURNING INTO SLAPS AS THEY ARE GETTING FASTER AND FASTER! THESE ELITISTS ARE GETTING BACK TO THEIR FEET AS THEY SLAPS HAVE TURNED TO EXPLOSIVE PUNCHES! IT’S A STRAIGHT UP HOCKEY FIGHT HERE AT PAIN FOR PRIDE!

Rich Russillo: VALERIE LANDS A HEADBUTT! She lands one to Brianna as some of Valerie’s blood trickles onto Brianna’s bruised head!

Persephone: That’s a one way ticket to CTEville if I ever had seen one!

Rich Russillo: Valerie got Brianna dazed right now with that headbutt as now she’s going for it and we all know what it is. She turns Brianna around-

James Peters: HOLLOW PURPLE!!!!!!!!!!

Rich Russillo: ‘Hollow Purple’ Ripcord Lariat! This has got to be over, this has got to be done with as Valerie goes for the cover on Brianna Hill!!!

Referee: ONE!

Referee: TWO!

Referee: THREE!

James Peters: BRIANNA KICKS OUT!!!!

Rich Russillo: I truly thought that was it, Brianna is still alive and well in this match! Valerie isn’t wasting any more time it seems as she’s bringing Brianna back to her feet! She’s got her in a Fireman’s Carry Position. She’s looking for the ‘Final Flash’ GTS! Valerie goes for it and-

James Peters: BRIANNA SLIPS OUT! SHE SLIPPED OUT OF THE FINAL FLASH! Brianna avoided disaster and wait look she pushes Valerie towards the referee! Ref look out!!

( Valerie stops herself though and doesn’t collide with the referee. They were inches away from colliding with each other, but thankfully they didn’t. )

Rich Russillo: Our poor referee almost fell victim there! BUT HOLD ON!

James Peters: WATCH OUT VALERIE!

Persephone: OMG!

Rich Russillo: ‘OCEAN EYES’!!!! ‘OCEAN EYES’ SPINNING BACK ELBOW FROM BRIANNA HILL! IT KNOCKED THE LIGHTS OUT OF VALERIE!! THIS IS IT! THIS HAS GOT BE IT! BRIANNA GOES FOR THE COVER ON VALERIE AS THE REFEREE MAKES THE COUNT!

………

. . . . .

Persephone: NO FUCKING WAY!

Rich Russillo: VALERIE HAS HER FOOT ON THE ROPE! ON THE LAST SECOND SHE WAS ABLE TO DO THAT AND SAVE THE MATCH! What can Brianna possibly do now???

( Brianna eyes the top rope and knows exactly what to do. )

James Peters: Brianna slowly brings Valerie to the top rope with her. She’s looking to do something here, but what is it? What is she looking for here!

Rich Russillo: Oh my god she has her in the ‘The Grudge’ Tiger Driver Position! She has Valerie Hellstorm in that position! SHE’S GOING TO LAND THE MOVE ON THE TOP ROPE!! SHE MIGHT KILL VALERIE WITH THIS ONE!

James Peters: BRIANNA GOES FOR IT! SHE’S LIFTING HER UP AND-

Rich Russillo: HOLD ON! VALERIE IS HOLDING HER WEIGHT SHE’S NOT LETTING BRIANNA HIT THE GRUDGE! BRIANNA IS LIFTING AGAIN BUT VALERIE ISN’T LETTING GO AND SHE’S OUT OF THE MOVE! SHE’S LANDING MULTIPLE FOREARM SHOTS TO THE BACK OF BRIANNA NOW!

Rich Russillo: VALERIE IS GOING FOR SOMETHING OF HER OWN, IT’S- IT’S….

James Peters: A TOP ROPE VERSION OF THE ‘MOON SPIRAL’ BLOODY SUNDAY!!!!

Rich Russillo: THEY BOTH GO CRASHING DOWN THE MAT BUT VALERIE IS STILL HOLDING ONTO BRIANNA AND ROLLS BACKWARDS, BEFORE LIFTING BRIANNA INTO A FIREMAN’S CARRY! SHES GOES FOR IT!!

James Peters: ‘THE FINAL FLASH’ GTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rich Russillo: VALERIE TOPPLES OVER BRIANNA AND HOOKS THE LEG! SHES GOING FOR THE PIN!

( DING! DING! DING! )

Bella Braxton: HERE IS YOUR WINNER!… VALERIE HELLSTORM!!!!

(‘Bad Girls’ hits once again, and the fans in attendance begin to cheer as Valerie slowly pulls herself off of Brianna.)

Rich Russillo: What a match that was! These two ladies absolutely beat the hell out of each other! No question about it that was back and forth slobberknocker If I ever saw one.

James Peters: Absolutely Rich! What a great win for Valerie as she finally settled the score against Brianna Hill tonight in what must feel like retribution after everything that went down between her and La Familia. Great effort from Brianna as Valerie is victorious!

Persephone: Can Luis come back now?

James Peters & Rich Russillo: NO!

Persephone: :mjcry:

James Peters: Anyways, congratulations to Valerie Hellstorm!

(Valerie celebrates her win here tonight at Pain for Pride. Brianna Hill is outside leaning against the barricade as she’s sitting down. Valerie is cheered from the crowd as she’s ecstatic about getting a win here tonight. The final shot sees Valerie leaving from the ramp and raising her arm up while she’s still a little bit bloodied from the match. Pain for Pride Kingdom fades out. )

Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING IS A BRITISH STRONG STYLE RULES MATCH!

(Crowd cheers)

Gina Romano: The rules are there will be five different rounds of three minute intervals of wrestling. The wrestler with the most points by the end of all five rounds will be declared the winner. If they tie, it will result in a draw. There will be no rope breaks, no DQ, and going to the outside in any way results in you forfeiting a point.

(Kamikaze – RedHook plays as Daryl Kinkade walks out in white and red attire and is immediately showered in boos. He soaks in the reaction from the stadium playing into it while taunting some fans on his way to the ring.)

GIna Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST….FROM NORWICH, ENGLAND….WEIGHING IN AT 225 POUNDS…HE IS “THE KINK OF ELITE”…DAARRYYLLLL KIINNKKKADDDEEEE!!!

Eve: He came away with a win at this event last year and looks to do it again here tonight in HIS type of match, British Strong Style rules. The match is right up his alley and we have heard all the things he has said about Jon leading up to this, you can see the confidence and honestly it’s hard to bet against him tonight.

(The lights dim out in the stadium.)

🎵 Gave you a hundred strikes

You were asking for it

Your wish was granted. 🎵

(That is heard from Polo G himself on the mic before the lights turn on and we see Polo G on the stage. He is performing his song “Last Strike” in person.)

(Next out come the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders standing on both sides of Polo G while he is performing.)

(Jon Kelton walks up behind him in a black and red attire as the cheerleaders cheer with the blue pom poms. He shows Polo G love dapping him up before taking a deep breath scanning around the sold out Camping World Stadium and makes his way down the ramp.)

Gina Romano: AND HIS OPPONENT….FROM DALLAS, TEXAS…WEIGHING IN AT 207 POUNDS…”THE LAST HOPE”….JOOONNNN KEELLTTOONNN!!!

Deadprez: A man who has just been on a flat out mission this season and especially after losing the National Elite Championship. He wants more than anything to have another chance to be World Champion, and a win tonight in a match up his opponents alley can certainly springboard him to that. Much like his opponent, he was victorious last year and looks to be again tonight. You can see the look on Jon’s face, he is ready for a fight hearing all of what Daryl had to say, and ready to beat him in his own match.

(Ding! Ding! Ding!)

(ROUND 1 TIMER: 3:00)

Eve: And the first round is underway! And man this should be a clinic between two of the best wrestlers we have not just on the Showdown roster, but in all of EAW itself. Remember the rules of three minutes per round with no rope breaks with no submissions, and no leaving the ring under any circumstance or else you forfeit a point.

Deadprez: You would think that everything favors Daryl Kinkade in this match.

Eve: Pretty sure Jon knows that but he doesn’t care in the slightest.

Deadprez: Daryl and Jon step out of their respective corners and come face to face with the crowd cheering in the background.

Daryl Kinkade: (no mic) You’re not on my level.

Jon Kelton: (no mic) You’re right, I’m above it.

Deadprez: Tensions high between Jon and Daryl on the grandest stage of them all…..AND DARYL CHICKLES BEFORE THROWING A RIGHT HAND! JON NOW RETALIATES WITH SOME OF HIS OWN! THEY BEGIN GOING AT IT THROWING RIGHT HANDS REPEATEDLY AT THE OTHER!! The referee steps in to create a little bit of separation between the two.

Gavin Kirkland: After a few seconds go by they lock hands for a brief moment but quickly back up and circle the ring just waiting on the other to make the first move. After several moments, the two finally lock up in a collar and elbow tie-up! It seems to be a struggle for a moment or two before Jon looks like he manages to gain control over him and get him in a side headlock before flipping him forward on his back, but then Daryl uses his legs to clip the head causing him to let go as they race back up to their feet and Jon charges at him with a full head of steam – BUT DARYL COUNTERS WITH A FLAPJACK AS JON HITS THE TURNBUCKLE FACE FIRST!! DARYL TRIES TO ROLL HIM UP QUICKLY TO GET THE FIRST FALL!

OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!

TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!

Eve: THE KICKOUT FROM JON! Daryl looks to take advantage here as he runs off the ropes full speed and drives both of the knees into the back of Jon before dropping him with a jumping neckbreaker out of the corner. Daryl looks to be proud of his work in the early goings as he poses to the crowd briefly before turning his attention back to him picking him up by the head, BUT JON DELIVERS A FEW SHOTS TO THE RIB CAGE BEFORE HE SLAPS HIS HANDS AWAY AND DELIVERS A STIFF FOREARM THAT DROPS HIM DOWN TO A KNEE WHICH SEEMS TO HAVE CAUGHT DARYL A BIT OFF GUARD!

(ROUND 1 TIMER: 2:15)

Deadprez: Almost a minute into round one and the two are already throwing hamsters at one another, Jon then repeatedly drives his elbow straight into his face. Jon grabs him by the head and repeatedly rams his knee into the face of Daryl before running off the ropes and hits a shining wizard to the back of the head and Jon feels momentum on his side as he begs for Daryl to stand up measuring him up early. Daryl is back up and turns around to Jon who picks him up in a fireman’s carry….BUT DARYL SLIPS OUT FROM BEHIND AND RUNS RAMMING HER INTO THE CORNER BEFORE LOOKING FOR THE ROLL UP FOR A SECOND TIME!

Gavin Kirkland: Jon though holds on to the turnbuckle and Daryl falls backwards and rolls back up to his feet and charges at him in the corner….but Jon stops him in his tracks with a kick to the midsection as he stumbles back a few feet…AND THEN JON HOPS OFF THE SECOND TURNBUCKLE AND HITS A SPRINGBOARD ENZIGURI KICK TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD AS DARYL DROPS DOWN TO A KNEE NOT HAVING A CLUE ON WHERE HE IS, BUT POPS UP OUT OF NOWHERE AND RUNS AT JON FULL SPEED –

Eve: AND JON DRILLS HIM WITH THE “GALICK GUN” SUPER KICK AS HE FALLS DOWN ON TOP OF HIM TO SECURE THE FIRST POINT!!

OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!

TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!

TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!

Deadprez: THE KICKOUT FROM DARYL AS WE’RE STILL DEADLOCKED AT ZERO A PIECE!

(ROUND 1 TIMER: 1:00)

Eve: Jon looks to keep the momentum rolling while the clock continues to roll as he begs for him to stand back up as he runs at him – but Daryl pops back up and he goes for a clothesline but Jon ducks under it before running off the ropes- AND THEN JON TAKES HIM DOWN WITH A HIGH KNEE STRIKE! Daryl stumbles back up to his feet as Jon grabs ahold of him under hooking both of the arms…BUT JON SPINS OUT OF HIS GRASP BEFORE RUNNING AND DELIVERING A STEP UP KNEE ACROSS THE BRIDGE OF THE NOSE AS DARYL STUMBLES BACK AND OFF THE ROPE AND JON GOES FOR A SECOND “GALICK GUN” SUPER KICK –

Deadprez: BUT DARYL DUCKS UNDER IT, JON TURNS AROUND AND THEN DARYL DTOPS HIM DOWN AND LICKE IT THE “SHUT UP BRUV” CROSSFACE!!!

(ROUND 1 TIMER: 0:20)

Eve: DARYL HAS JON LOCKED IN HIS CROSSFACE WRENCHING BACK AS HARD AS HE CAN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING! JON HAS NOWHERE TO GO, HE CRAWLS OVER TO THE ROPES AND GRABS IT…BUT REMEMBER NO ROPE BREAKS! DARYL IS SCREAMING AT HIM TO TAP OUT! WILL HE TAP OUT AND SAVE ENERGY SURRENDERING A POINT OR WILL HE SURVIVE THESE LAST COUPLE SECONDS OF ROUND ONE?? JON HAS HIS HAND UP –

*BUZZER*

Gina Romano: Round one has come to an end.

(The referee forces Daryl to let go of “Shut up Bruv” as Daryl is annoyed that Jon didn’t tap out in time. He stands up and dusts his hands off as if it’s too easy before doing the “that close” gesture with his hand down at Jon who recuperates in the corner.)

Daryl Kinkade: (looking down at Jon) Get up mate, I can do this all day.

(The referee looks over to Jon making sure he’s set as the rest period comes to an end.)

*BUZZER*

(ROUND 2 TIMER: 3:00)

Eve: There’s the buzz for round two to begin as the arrogance is just oozing from Daryl right now while they both step out of their respective corners and are face to face once more.

*SLAP!*

Deadprez: Daryl just slapped the taste out of Jon’s mouth as the arrogance continues to ooze from Daryl. And what? A little grin just came across the face of Jon :comeagain:…..

Eve: JON KELTON JUST LEAPED UP AND DELIVERS AN ENZIGURI KICK TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD THAT CAUGHT DARYL COMPLETELY OFF GUARD AS HE DROPS DOWN TO A KNEE!

Gavin Kirkland: Jon wastes no time in going back on the attack as he hammers away at the back of Daryl before picking him up off the mat, BUT DARYL SLAPS THE HANDS AWAY AND THROWS A HARD FOREARM SHOT TO THE FACE OF JON AS HE STUMBLES BACK A FEW FEET! BUT THEN JON RETALIATES BY HITTING A HEADBUTT THAT I THINK CAUGHT DARYL OFF GUARD AGAIN BEFORE HE RUNS OFF THE ROPES AND DRIVES THE KNEE INTO THE SIDE OF HIS SKULL! Jon checks his lip for blood before turning his attention back over to Daryl. Daryl though is trying his best to crawl away and slides out of the ring.

Gavin Kirkland: He does know that he surrenders a point if he goes outside right? :skip:

Eve: It’s his rules so I don’t know what game he’s trying to play here. Jon isn’t letting it happen though as he grabs ahold of his foot! Daryl’s upper body is already out of the ring but Jon isn’t letting him go anywhere as Daryl tries to shake her off but it isn’t working as Jon is trying to drag him back to the center of the ring but he’s holding on to the ring skirt for dear life! He successfully manages to drag him back to the middle of the ring but Daryl uses his free foot to kick his right in the face as he stumbles back a few feet holding her nose. Daryl takes this window of opportunity to try and scramble out of the ring again but once again Jon runs and stops him near the corner….AND DARYL PULLS HIM BY THE ARM BACKWARDS AND HE CONNECTS WITH THE SECOND TURNBUCKLE SHOULDER FIRST!! Jon holds his shoulder in some pain as Daryl cracks that little grin across his face. Daryl may have laid out a trap there and knew what he was doing luring him over there.

Deadprez: Daryl lifts her up and sits him on the top rope! What does he have in mind here? Daryl throws several punches to the face of Jon as he climbs up with him and looks to be going for a superplex – BUT JON IS TRYING EVERYTHING HE CAN TO FIGHT OUT OF IT WITH SEVERAL SHOTS TO HIS RIBS AND NOW BOTH OF THEM ARE GOING BACK AND FORTH WITH THE OTHER ON THE TOP ROPE BATTLING FOR CONTROL OVER THE OTHER….JON LOOKS TO HAVE THE UPPER HAND BEFORE HE HOPS OVER AND DELIVERS A SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMB OFF THE TOP!

Gavin Kirkland: JON DOESN’T STOP THERE AS DARYL STUMBLES BACK UP TO HIS FEET AND TURNS AROUND – “CHANGE IN FUTURE!!!” JON PLANTS HIM WITH THE FUTURE SHOCK DDT!! JON TURNS HIM OVER AND GOES FOR ANOTHER COVER TO GET A POINT!

OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!

TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!

TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!

Eve: DARYL GETS THE SHOULDER UP AT TWO AND A HALF AND WE’RE STILL DEADLOCKED!

(ROUND 2 TIMER: 1:30)

Gavin Kirkland: RIGHT AWAY JON TRIES TO TRANSITION INTO HIS GOD PUNISHER” HELL’S GATE SUBMISSION BUT DARYL IS DOING EVERYTHING IN HIS POWER TO PREVENT IT AS HE’S LIKE A FISH OUT OF WATER, IS HE GONNA TAP OUT AND SURRENDER A POINT?

Eve: BUT DARYL OUT OF ADRENALINE DEADLIFTS JON OFF THE MAT – AND OH MY GOD!! DARYL DROPS JON ON THE BACK OF HIS HEAD OVER AND OVER AGAIN ON THE MAT! Jon lets go of “God Punisher”, as Daryl stands up holding his throat while Jon stumbles up his feet holding his grade in pain.

Deadprez: THEY BOTH ARE BACK UP TO THEIR FEET, AND RIGHT AWAY JON WHILE DAZED GOES FOR A ROUNDHOUSE KICK OUT OF INSTINCT….BUT DARYL SAW IT COMING BEING ONE STEP AHEAD AS HE DUCKS IT AND RUNS OFF THE ROPES AND HITS A RUNNING KNEE OF HIS OWN! Daryl takes this time to catch his breath and recuperate a little bit as he scoots over to the corner before pulling himself up in the corner and thinks of what to do next. And now Daryl steps through the rope and begins to ascend up to the top rope and what does he have in mind here? DARYL STANDS UP TALL BEFORE LAUNCHING HIMSELF OFF AND GOING FOR A FROG SPLASH AND IT CONNECTS!!!

Gavin Kirkland: Daryl is in clear control.now as he gets Jon up off his feet – AND DARYL HITS “A BEAUTIFUL LIE!!” THE CROSS LEGGED FISHERMAN’S BUSTER CONNECTS AS DARYL HOOKS THE LEG!!

OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!

TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!

TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!!

Gina Romano: Daryl Kinkade has scored a point!

(ROUND 2 TIMER: 0:20)

Eve: Daryl has scored a point going up 1-0 here in the second round after that heavy flurry of offense. He quickly gets Jon up hammering away at his back before setting up for something as Jon seems motionless –

*BUZZER*

Gina Romano: Round two has come to an end.

Deadprez: Round two has come to a close with Daryl pulling ahead with a 1-0 lead as the 30 second rest period has begun.

Daryl Kinkade: (no mic) Too easy bruv.

(Jon Kelton pulls himself up in the corner still holding his grade as Daryl dares him to step up to him just waiting for round three to begin and after several moments and the referee seeing if both men are ready to go, motions for it to begin.)

*BUZZER*

(ROUND 3 TIMER: 3:00)

Eve: And the rest period is over as we begin round three! Daryl right away looks to capitalize in his work from round two and as he runs at Jon and delivers a splash in the corner before pulling him to the center of the ring going for “Hail to the Victor” – BUT JON FIGHTS BACK AND COUNTERS IT WITH A BACK BODY DROP SAVING HIMSELF AT THE MOMENT AS WE’RE BACK AT SQUARE ONE IN THIS MATCH! Both of them now crawls to opposite sides of the ring and use the ropes to help pull themselves up before they turn around to face one another –

Deadprez: And now Daryl tries to immediately transition into a submission here as he drops him down to the mat and goes to lock in his “Shut up Bruv ” crossface submission for the second time in this match! This would be catastrophic for Jon as he’s already down a point!

Eve: But Jon is trying any way to get out of this as he holds her head down before delivering backhanded elbow shots of his own which causes Daryl to let go of his grip as Jon quickly crawls away and pulls himself up in the corner. Daryl charges at her once more in the corner…BUT HE SIDESTEPS AND SENDS HIM SHOULDER FIRST INTO THE STEEL RING POST THROUGH THE SECOND TURNBUCKLE! DARYL MIGHT BE IN SOME SERIOUS TROUBLE HERE AS DARYL IS IN A VULNERABLE SPOT! AND NOW JON ROLLS HIM UP FROM BEHIND!!

OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!

TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!

TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!!

Eve: OH MAN HOW CLOSE WAS THAT AS DARYL ESCAPES KICKING OUT PRESERVING HIS LEAD!

(ROUND 3 TIMER: 2:00)

Gavin Kirkland: Jon looks to stay on the attack despite the kick out and keep the momentum rolling in his favor she delivers a European uppercut that drives him back into the corner….AND HERE COMES JON WHO RUNS AND DELIVERS A HIGH KNEE TO THE FACE BEFORE FOLLOWING IT UP WITH A RUNNING BULLDOG IN THE CENTER OF THE RING! The tide has completely shifted in Jon’s favor and you can see the look on Daryl’s face that he’s being overwhelmed this entire round so far as Jon looks to tie it up!

Eve: Jon Kelton now goes over to the corner and ascends up to that top rope looking down at the motionless Daryl – AND JON LAUNCHES HIMSELF OFF THE TOP TURNBUCKLE AND HITS A PICTURE PERFECT SHOOTING STAR PRESS!! AND HERE’S THE HOOK OF THE LEG!!

OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!

TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!

TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!

Gavin Kirkland: DARYL SURVIVES AGAIN GETTING THE SHOULDER UP AT TWO! Jon looks over at the clock before quickly going g back on the attack once more to try keeping Daryl down.

(ROUND 3 TIMER: 1:15)

Eve: Jon gets Daryl back up his feet quickly – BUT DARYL TRIES FIGHTING BACK AS HE SWIPES HIS HANDS AWAY FROM HIM BEFORE SMASHING JON ACROSS THE BRIDGE OF THE NOSE WITH A STIFF FOREARM SHOT!! JON RESPONDS BACK WITH ONE OF HIS OWN! BOTH ARE GOING BACK AND FORTH!

Deadprez: JON! DARYL! JON! DARYL!

Eve: DARYL BREAKS THE CHAIN UP AS HE TAKES A SWING AT HIS HEAD BUT JON DUCKS IT AND PICKS HIM UP IN A FIREMAN’S CARRY – BUT BEFORE WE COULD KNOW WHAT HE HAD IN MIND DARYL SLIDES OFF HIS SHOULDERS AND PUSHES HIM FROM THE BACK INTO THE ROPES…AND OH NO!!! JON THEN GOES FOR A “GALICK GUN” SUPERKICK – BUT DARYL DUCKS IT BEFORE TAKING HIN DOWN WITH A JUMPING DOUBLE LEG LARIAT!! Daryl thinks of what to do next before rolling under the bottom rope waiting for Jon to stand back up…AND DARYL SPRINGBOARDS OFF THE TOP ROPE –

Deadprez: OH MY GOD!!! JON JUST DRILLED HOME WITH “GALICK GUN” IN MID AIR!!! THE SUPERKICK IN MID AIR!!

(ROUND 3 TIMER: 0:28)

Eve: Jon sees this window of opportunity but has to hurry before the clock expires on him! Jon quickly moves over to the corner begging for Daryl to get up to his feet with him constantly looking over at the clock, Daryl stumbles up and turns around….

Deadprez: AND JON RUNS QUICKLY AND HITS HIS “THE DEVIL MADE ME DO IT!!!” THE RUNNING KNEE STRIKE RIGHT TO THE FACE OF DARYL AS HE TURNS DARYL OVER AND GOES FOR THE COVER! WILL HE TIE IT UP AT ONE POINT A PIECE??

(ROUND 3 TIMER: 0:07)

OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!

TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!!

TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!

GIna Romano: Jon Kelton has scored a point!

(ROUND 3 TIMER: 0:02)

*BUZZER*

Gina Romano: Round three has come to an end.

Eve: JON KELTON BARELY BEATS BUZZER GETTING THE PINFALL IN TIME TO TIE IT! You can see the relief on his face as he knew he took a big risk not going for the cover right after he hit “Galick Gun” in mud air, but he wanted to make sure Daryl was staying down and the risk pays off as we get ready to transition into round four here in just a matter of moments.

(The 30 second rest period begins with the referee helping Daryl Kinkade up in his corner as Daryl looks over at Jon and Jon begins to speak as if he’s mocking him.)

Jon Kelton: (with a smirk) Too easy.

Eve: Jon matching the energy that Daryl threw at him after taking the lead earlier. The tension is crazy in here with these two as we’re getting near crunch time of this match.

(The referee makes sure both men are ready before calling for the next round to begin.)

*BUZZER*

(ROUND 4 TIMER: 3:00)

Deadprez: We’re all set to begin round four with both Daryl and Jon locked at one point a piece. We’re getting into the late stages of this match and it’s a matter of who wants it more at this point. We’re in the home stretch now.

Eve: The two of them are standing across from each other as the referee steps aside after the buzzer sounded, AND THEN DARYL RUNS TOWARDS JON TAKING HIM DOWN WITH A DROPKICK TO HIS GUT AS JON STEPPED OUT OF HIS CORNER! I DON’T THINK JON WAS EXPECTING THAT IN DARYL’S CONDITION OUT OF THE GATE!! DARYL BEGINS TO FIRE AWAY WITH SOME PUNCHES TO THE FACE OF JON LOOKING TO INFLUXY AS MUCH DAMAGE TO JON AS EARLY IN THE ROUND AS POSSIBLE! DARYL LOOKS TO KEEP THE MOMENTUM GOING AS HE PLACES HIS FOOT ON THE NECK OF JON!

Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! COME ON BACK IT UP!

Gavin Kirkland: Daryl forcefully gets backed up but knows he has a limited window with the click ticking and goes back on the attack! He picks up Jon by underneath the chin and pushes him against the ropes! Daryl swings forward connecting with a knife edge chop to the chest of Jon now and Daryl connects with another chop to the chest! He gets Jon by his arm before whipping him to the ropes across from them! BUT JON COUNTERS THE WHIP SENDING DARYL TO THE ROPES AS JON RUNS RIGHT AFTER HIM BUT DARYL MANAGES TO LIFT HIS FOOT UP BLOCKING HIM BUT JON MANAGES TO GRAB HIS FOOT AS HE CONNECTS WITH A DRAGON SCREW LEG WHIP! DARYL GETS TURNED AROUND AS HE FINDS HIMSELF INTO A CRAWLING POSITION! Jon finds his way up to his feet as –

Eve: JON CATCHES HIM WITH A SMALL PACKAGE PIN OUT OF NOWHERE!

OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!

TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!

TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!!

Deadprez: DARYL KICKS OUT!! Frustration looks to have come across the face of Daryl as Jon gets to his feet once more and Jon looks to connect with a penalty kick to Daryl’s face, but Daryl side steps out of the way just in the nick of time as Jon misses that just barely as he stumbles forward – SMALL PACKAGE FROM DARYL!!!

OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!

TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: DARYL HAS AHOLD OF THE ROPES!!!

TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!

Eve BUT JON STILL FINDS A WAY TO KICK OUT!!!

(ROUND 4 TIMER: 1:45)

Deadprez: Jon is trying to grasp for some oxygen as he finds himself back to his feet but not for long though as Daryl goes over as he sees that Jon is rising back to his feet and he quickly goes to retrieve Jon, but Jon manages to connect with a punch to his face as that takes him back knocking him backwards a few feet! Daryl returns the favor by connecting with a punch to Jon, but Jon connects with a knee to her gut! He bends forward in response as Jon picks him up and rolling him up and then slamming him to the mat! Daryl’s spine contorts as Jon picks him up once more as Jon points to one of the corners and goes for it!

Eve: JON IS BEGGING FOR DARYL TO STAND UP – AND JON RUNS AND GOES FOR HIS “FINAL ATONEMENT” SPEAR AS DARYL STUMBLES UP TO HIS FEET AND TURNS AROUND –

Deadprez: NOBODY HOME AS DARYL HOPPED UP LEAPFROGGING ABOVE HIM AND JON CONNECTED WITH THE SECOND TURNBUCKLE! Jon might be in a world of trouble here as Daryl sees this as an opportunity with Jon vulnerable and he pulls him out of the corner and gets him in position – “HAIL TO THE VICTOR!!!” DARYL HITS HIM WITH THE PUMP HANDLE PILEDRIVER AS HE GOES FOR THE COVER AND LOOKS TO REGAIN THE LEAD!!

OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!

TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!

TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!

Eve: Deadprez: JON KICKS OUT AT TWO AND A HALF!! WOW! Jon managed to survive it and save the match going down at a huge disadvantage at least for the moment as Daryl thinks of what to do next in order to put Jon down for good and retake the lead going into the home stretch here.

(ROUND 4 TIMER: 1:00)

Gavin Kirkland: What a battle this has been between two unbelievable athletes so far as they are throwing everything out there to get Pain for Pride moment. Both of them crawl to opposite ends of the ring after several moments before standing up and turning around to face each other…AND A RIGHT HAND FROM DARYL! AND JON RESPONDS WITH A RIGHT OF HIS OWN! BOTH MEN ARE GOING BACK BACK AND FORTH UNTIL…AN ENZIGURI FROM JON….BUT THEN DARYL RESPONDS WITH A VICIOUS HEADBUTT TO THE HEAD!! AND NOW DARYL RUNS OFF THE ROPES!

Eve: DARYL GOES FOR A RUNNING KNEE STRIKE, BUT JON DUCKED IT AND THEN PULLS HIM IN AND GOES FOR “EGO TRIP” FOR A SECOND TIME IN THIS MATCH….BUT AGAIN DARYL ESCAPES AS HE SPINS OUT OF IT BEFORE GOING FOR A ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD, BUT JON DUCKS IT THIS TIME BEFORE…..

Deadprez: JON JUMPS UP WRAPPING HIS ARM AROUND HIS HEAD!! THE “DIVINE WRATH” GUILLOTINE CHOKE IS LOCKED IN!!! JON KELTON LOOKS IN PRIME POSITION TO GO UP 2-1 HERE AS DARYL IS TRAPPED IN THE CENTER OF THE RING WITH NO ROPE BREAKS TO SAVE HIM!!!!

(ROUND 4 TIMER: 0:17)

Eve: WILL DARYL HOLD ON TO BE SAVED BY THE BUZZER OR WILL HE TAP AND GO INTO THE FINAL ROUND DOWN 2-1??? JON IS SQUEEZING THE ABSOLUTE LIFE OUT OF DARYL AS HE KEEPS LOOKING OVER AT THE CLOCK TRYING TO MAKE DARYL SUBMIT!

Jon Kelton: (no mic) TAP!!! TAP DAMMIT!!

Deadprez: DARYL HAS HIS HAND UP…..IS HE GOING TO TAP OUT??

(ROUND 4 TIMER: 0:03)

*BUZZER*

Gina Romano: Round four has come to an end.

Deadprez: DARYL KINKADE HOLDS ON AND GETS SAVED BY THE BUZZER!! You can see the frustration on Jon’s face as he’s forced to let go of the choke as he was sure he was going to gain the upper hand and take the lead going into the final round. Both Jon and Daryl have held on being saved by the buzzer at two different points in this match locked in one another’s submission holds.

(Jon Kelton stands up and kicks the rope in frustration that he didn’t make Daryl tap out in time as the 30 second rest period clock begins while the referee helps Daryl stand up and regroup in his corner. Jon is almost itching waiting for that final buzzer to go off for Round 5.)

Eve: Daryl holding on means we go into Round 5 tied up at 1-1, this might as well be sudden death with the first to score a point winning because losing a point early on means you’re pretty much screwed needing to get 2 points in less than 3 minutes. And remember, if there is no winner after this final round, this will end in a draw which I think none of us want to happen. Both men have one point a piece.

(The referee checks if both men are ready to go, which they are as the rest period clock runs out and he calls for the buzzer to start the 5th and final round.)

*BUZZER*

(ROUND 5 TIMER: 3:00)

Deadprez: HERE WE GO! ROUND 5 SUDDEN DEATH TIED AT ONE POINT A PIECE!

Eve: Both men step out from their corner waiting for the other to make the first move with both of them exhausted and in obvious pain….

Criwd: THIS IS AWESOME! 👏 THIS IS AWESOME! 👏

EVe: Indeed it is as we start this epic final round. Daryl charges after Jon here right out of the gate, but Jon sees it coming as he manages to get Daryl by his wrist and applies a wrist lock on him! Jon wrenches back the wrist lock, applying more pressure and getting a yelp on Daryl who is trying to use his other hand to pull himself away, but he needs to be careful not to sprain his wrist in the process. But Jon manages to go to the ropes as he manages to get himself on the top turnbuckle! Now, this is going to be quite interesting…oh he begins to tightrope walk on the top turnbuckle and he manages to make it across the rope! He gets to the middle before jumping off and connecting with a Japanese arm drag sending Daryl flying across the ring!

Gavin Kirkland: DARYL IS TRYING TO SHAKE SOME FEELING BACK TO HIS ARM AS JON RUNS AFTER HIM AND CLOTHESLINING HIM TO THE CORNER! HE SWINGS TOWARDS HIM LOOKING TO CONNECT WITH A KNIFE EDGE CHOP…. BUT DARYL MANAGES TO GET HIMSELF OUT OF THE WAY!

Deadprez: DARYL SEES THIS WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY AND ROLLS HIM UP FROM BEHIND!!

OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!

TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!

TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!!.

Eve: KICKOUT!! Both race up to their feet and run at one another – KELTON CONNECTS WITH A HURRICANRANA BEFORE GRABBING THE LEG GOING FOR THE PIN!!

OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!

TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!

TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!!

Deadprez: OH THAT WAS CLOSE AS DARYL KICKED OUT!! A matter of inches with both of those near falls as…DARYL STANDS UP AND WALKS INTO A BICYCLE KICK FROM KELTON! Kelton looks over at the clock before begging for Daryl to stand back up and I think we all know what he’s setting up for here!!

(ROUND 5 TIMER: 2:00)

Eve: HE STANDS UP AND JON RUNS GOING FOR HIS “FINAL ATONEMENT” SPEAR….BUT DARYL JUST POPPED UP AND HIT JON WITH A SPEAR OF HIS OWN!! Daryl is in a lot of pain here as he slowly stirs up to his feet and goes to pick up the motionless body of Jon…..AND DARYL GOES FOR “A BEAUTIFUL LIE” – !!

Deadprez: IT CONNECTS!!!! THAT WAS THE MOVE THAT SCORED DARYL HIS FIRST POINT IN ROUND TWO! AN EXHAUSTED DARYL SLOWLY CRAWLS AND HOVERS OVER JON AS HE HOOKS THE LEG! THIS WILL PRETTY MUCH DO IT!!!

OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!

TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!

TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!

..

…..

Eve: WHAT?!?!?! JON KELTON JUST KICKED OUT!! Instinct and adrenaline had to have kicked in there knowing if he surrendered that point, there was no coming back with less than two minutes remaining. Daryl is in complete shock right now as he thinks of what to do next and he better hurry because that clock is ticking and we know he doesn’t want this ending in a draw.

(ROUND 5 TIMER: 1:18)

Gavin Kirkland: Daryl slowly picks him up by the head, but there’s still fight from Jon throwing shots at his ribs! AND UH OH JON GETS DONE DISTANCE AS BOTH OF THEM ARE GOING BACK AND FORTH WITH THE PUNCHES TRYING TO GET THE UPPER HAND ON ONE ANOTHER!

Deadprez: DARYL LOOKS TO HAVE THE ADVANTAGE BACK AS HE GOES LOW KICKING JON IN HIS KNEECAP, AND DARYL TAKES THIS CHANCE AND RUNS SPRINGBOARDING OFF THE SECOND ROPE –

Eve: “FINAL ATONEMENT” IN MID AIR!!!! JON NEARLY SLICES HIM IN HALF WITH THE SPEAR AND IT LOOKS LIKE HE HURT HIS ARM.IN THE PROCESS AS HE HASN’T GONE FOR THE COVER YET! Jon finally gers up and looks up at the clock as he looks like he’s gonna go for the cover.

(ROUND 5 TIMER: 0:37)

Deadprez: JON DOESN’T FOR FOR THE COVER THOUGH AS HE DROPS DOWN AND LOCKS IN “GOD PUNISHER!!!” THE HELL’S GATE IS APPLIED AS IT LOOKS LIKE JON IS TAKING NO CHANCES WITH THE PIN WITH 30 SECONDS LEFT KNOWING THE RISK OF DARYL KICKING OUT AND NOT HAVING ENOUGH TIME TO DO ANYTHING ELSE AND THE CLICK EXPIRES!!! DARYL IS LIKE A FISH OUT OF WATER TRYING TO FIND A WAY OUT AND THROW PUNCHES BUT HE’S TOO WEAK FOR IT TO HAVE ANY IMPACT!! DARYL LOOKS LIKE HE MIGHT BE FADING OUT! WILL HE HANG ON FOR THE DRAW OR WILL HE TAP OUT???

Eve: DARYL HAS HIS HAND UP AS IF HE’S GOING TO TAP OUT –

(ROUND 5 TIMER: 0:12)

Deadprez: HE’S ABSOLUTELY TRAPPED WITH ROPE BREAKS MAKING NO DIFFERENCE! CAN HE HANG ON FOR 10 MORE SECONDS AND SETTLE FOR THE DRAW??

Gavin Kirkland: BLOOD IS STARTING TO DRIP FROM THE MOUTH OF DARYL! JON IS APPLYING AS MUCH PRESSURE AS HE CAN AS HE IS SCREAMING AT THE TOP OF HIS LUNGS TO DARYL TO TAP OUT!!!

6…

5…

4…

Deadprez: DARYL KINKADE TAPS OUT!!! HE COULDN’T HOLD ON WITH THREE SECONDS TO GO!!! JON KELTON HAS WON BRITISH STRONG STYLE RULES MAKING HIM TAP WITH ONLY A FEW SECONDS ON THE CLOCK!!

2…1…

*BUZZER*

(Ding! Ding! Ding!)

(‘ Last Strike ‘ by Polo G plays as an exhausted Jon Kelton lets go of the submission and stands up getting his hand raised to a standing ovation from the Camping World Stadium crowd on that match.)

Gina Romano: HERE IS YOUR WINNER BY A SCORE OF 2-1….JOOONNN KEELLLTOOONNN!!

Eve: WHAT A MATCH! Each round was edge of your seat exciting stuff, oh my God. Jon Kelton beats Daryl at Daryl’s game with his rules by a score of 2-1 getting the win at the buzzer. Both men had to absolutely earn each point they got and Jon Kelton just proved without a shadow of a doubt this next year and beyond are going to be huge for him, as for Daryl as well who put on one hell of a show and was seconds away from winning it himself in the final round.

Gavin Kirkand: Jon Kelton gets the win and damn it….. This was Daryl’s match to win!

Deadprez: Absolutely, that was a clinic to watch and I’m glad I was here for it. Jon Kelton gets the huge win and Pain for Pride moment! Congrats to both men on that match.

(The final shot is of Jon Kelton celebrating posing on the middle turnbuckle in front of the crowd while the referee holds a white towel to Daryl’s mouth at ringside as he is seething before it fades.)

Stephie Love: Ladies and gentlemen, the following match is scheduled for ONE FALL!

Crowd: ONE FALL!

Stephie Love: And it is for the NEWWW BREEEEEEEED CHAMPIONSHIIIIIIIIP!

(‘I Miss The Rage’ by Mario Judah began blaring through the arena’s speakers to a huge reaction of boos; the reaction was exacerbated as the Imperial Symphony, BRAE, stormed out from behind the stage curtains. With piercing red contacts in his eyes, BRAE came up to the center of the stage before breathing out a large puff of smoke through his mouth and nostrils. He continued his march down the ramp as he entered the squared circle.)

Stephie Love: INTRODUCING FIRST, THE CHALLENGER! HAILING FROM NOVOSIBIRSK, RUSSIA, WEIGHING IN AT 215 POUNDS… HE IS THE IMPEEEEEEEEEEERIAL SYMPHONYYYYYYYYYY… BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Jake Mercer: I MISS THE RAGE !! !! !! 😈

Stew-O: BRAE has undeniably proved himself to be one of the premier New Breeds of his generation, and it shows when he finds himself fighting for the gold at the Showcase of the Immortals!

Flannery McCoy: His acumen aside, though, his most notable trait is his intensity… for better or for worse. The New Breed Champion, Michael Machina, felt the brunt of BRAE’s intense desire for championship glory when BRAE decided to make a grand statement by decimating and injuring Machina’s girlfriend, Rory Slate!

Jake Mercer: THE RAGE went buckwild on her and took her out of active competition entirely!

Stew-O: The two have clashed since then, and it has all built up to this inevitable climax; will Machina manage to retain, or will BRAE shatter the historic reign once and for all?!

(“Apostle’s Warning” by Mobb Deep started playing to a massive reaction as the New Breed Champion, Michael Machina, burst out onto the stage with the championship belt clutched tightly in his hand. He raised the gold in the center of the stage for all to see, prompting a series of fireworks, before he slung it over his shoulder and stormed his way down to the ring.)

Stephie Love: AND HIS OPPONENT! HAILING FROM BROOKLYN, NEW YORK, WEIGHING IN AT 240 POUNDS… HE IS THE NEW BREED OF LEGENDS AND THE NEW BREED CHAMPION… MICHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAEL! MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACHINAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Stew-O: You can’t talk about the premier New Breeds without speaking of the New Breed of Legends himself! Michael Machina is marching into Pain for Pride not only for revenge against BRAE, looking to continue his reign as the longest reigning New Breed Champion in history!

Flannery McCoy: If he’s able to defeat BRAE today and continue his reign, then his reign will continue growing past the record set by Andre Walker!

Jake Mercer: The stakes couldn’t be higher – of course, in honor of the kaiser, I will be fervently rooting for BRAE this entire match. How dare Michael Machina break the legendary record of Andre Walker, my GOAT?

Flannery McCoy: You never stop, do you?

Jake Mercer: I wouldn’t be me if I did.

Stew-O: This match will decide the fate of the New Breed Division; will Michael Machina continue his dominance into the next season, or will BRAE take the reins of the division by force? The time has come to find out!

(Ding! Ding! Ding!)

Stew-O: And we’re off- to an EXPLOSIVE start, as both men lurch out from their respective corners and begin brawling it out in the middle of the ring!

Flannery McCoy: This likely isn’t going to be a ‘real graps’ match; these men just want to decimate each other until there’s nothing left!

Jake Mercer: SHOW HIM THE RAGE !! !! !!

Stew-O: It looks like the strength advantage that Michael Machina has is starting to take its toll as BRAE is being pushed back to the ropes from the force of the brawl…

Flannery McCoy: But BRAE is able to slip under Machina’s arm and thrust kick the Machine into the ropes; at this point in the match, momentum can switch in a moment’s notice!

Jake Mercer: Good, Machina deserves every last bit of it! BRAE has him up against the ropes, and I swear I feel the kaiser’s energy running through this man as he BEGINS UNLEASHING A FLURRY OF KNIFE-EDGE CHOPS!

Stew-O: Michael Machina’s chest is being lit up right from the offset, and BRAE looks like he has no intention of stopping!

Flannery McCoy: I don’t think BRAE is going to have a choice, though, as Machina just TANKED the chops and shoved BRAE back with enough force to knock him down to the ring mat!

Stew-O: What tremendous power by the New Breed of Legends! BRAE immediately scurries up to his feet, but Machina follows up with a massive shoulder tackle to bring him back down to the mat! Before BRAE can get up again, Machina leaps up into the air and lands on top of the Imperial Symphony as he begins a ground and pound!

Jake Mercer: GET OFF HIM! DON’T TOUCH HIM! Machina continues striking away at the face of the Imperial Symphony, but BRAE immediately flails violently to the left and the right, causing Machina to lose balance!

Flannery McCoy: One more swing of the body and BRAE is able to knock Machina off of himself, giving BRAE the opportunity to swiftly rise back to his feet before the champion can!

Stew-O: It seems like he’s going to take advantage of that as he hits the ropes and rebounds to pick up velocity as he sprints over to where Machina is staggering up-

Jake Mercer: AND A DISCUS CLOTHESLINE LANDS AGAINST MACHINA, COURTESY OF THE IMPERIAL SYMPHONY! This time, the New Breed of Legends is the one to get laid out, and now BRAE begins ruthlessly stomping the life out of him! GOOD! KILL HIM!

Flannery McCoy: Calm down, it’s a wrestling match! With that being said, considering the intensity these two men are bringing to the table, there might actually be a death here… someone should call up Persephone.

Stew-O: BRAE continues the barrage of stomps until he’s able to force Machina to roll over up against the corner, where the Imperial Symphony drags him up and pushes him against the turnbuckles!

Jake Mercer: And now, BRAE continues what he started earlier as he begins performing more knife-edge chops on the cornered Machina; this time, though, he’s alternating them with forearm smashes! CHOP! FOREARM! CHOP! FOREARM! CHOP! FOREARM!

Flannery McCoy: The assault does seem to be hurting Machina, but it’s just making him look even angrier than before! The New Breed of Legends grabs the wrist of his challenger before another attack can land, and he uses it to maneuver BRAE into the corner!

Jake Mercer: NOOOOOOOO!

Stew-O: Machina grabs the middle rope on either side of BRAE, and then begins unleashing SHOULDER BARGES right into the ribcage of the Imperial Symphony! With shoulders as large as Machina’s, just imagine the force of such an impact!

Flannery McCoy: The ring is practically shaking with each impact!

Jake Mercer: :lupe:

Stew-O: BRAE is looking worse for wear here, but Machina won’t be able to keep up a repeated attack like this for too long before he ends up feeling gassed!

Flannery McCoy: I think he feels the same, as he ends the barrage and stands up for a brief moment to recuperate before wrapping his arms tightly around the waist of BRAE and hoisting him up–

Jake Mercer: NOOOOOOOO! BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX BY THE NEW BREED OF LEGENDS! HANG IN THERE, BRAE!

Stew-O: The Imperial Symphony gets sent flying overhead by that massive belly to belly suplex from Michael Machina!

Flannery McCoy: I don’t think I’ve ever seen anybody fly quite that far… or look like they landed that hard! BRAE just bounced off the mat and tumbled out of the ring between the bottom and middle ropes!

Jake Mercer: Ah, he must have planned that! The Imperial Symphony is a wrestling GENIUS!

Stew-O: Whatever you need to say to have hope, I guess. Michael Machina sees BRAE slip out of the ring and decides to roll out himself in order to pursue his challenger!

Flannery McCoy: Michael Machina begins sprinting around the corner of the ring as he continues picking up speed whilst looking for his target to ram into. OH, THERE HE IS!

Michael Machina: BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Jake Mercer: OH MY GOD! BRAE JUST LEAPT ONTO THE APRON AT THE LAST POSSIBLE MOMENT! MICHAEL MACHINA MISSED! HE MISSED AND WENT CRASHING SHOULDER-FIRST INTO THE STEEL STEPS!

Stew-O: The impact from Machina shoulder-tackling the steel steps knocked them so far out of their spot that they ended up pressed against the barricade!

Flannery McCoy: That really says something scary about Machina’s power, but you have to wonder how much something like that hurts BECAUSE of his power being turned against him!

Jake Mercer: I think the perfect word to use would be KARMA! BRAE rises to his feet on the apron as he looks down at his handiwork, with the New Breed of Legends crouched down and clutching his shoulder in agony.

Stew-O: Look at that glare in his eyes, though; I don’t think he’s just admiring the carnage, I think he’s ready to follow up on it and make even more!

Flannery McCoy: Michael Machina staggers back up to his feet and looks around for where BRAE went; the Imperial Symphony, on the other hand, narrows his eyes as he takes aim!

Jake Mercer: A DIVING CLOTHESLINE BY THE FUTURE NEW BREED CHAMPION, AND IT TAKES OUT THE NEW BREED OF LEGENDS!

Stew-O: Getting a little ahead of yourself, aren’t you? Nevertheless, Machina DID get taken down, and now BRAE is dragging him up by force to roll him back into the ring!

Flannery McCoy: The Imperial Symphony slides in alongside the champion and immediately drags him out of reach of the ropes before hooking the leg!

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Stew-O: But an emphatic kick out from the New Breed of Legends keeps him in the game, and BRAE gives a little laugh to himself, as though he knew that wouldn’t have been enough to put down the Machine.

Jake Mercer: Don’t worry, the Imperial Symphony has a lot more left in the tank!

Flannery McCoy: I certainly think so, as he looms over the downed body of the champion with malicious intent; he reaches down and applies a waist lock as he begins lifting the Machine!

Stew-O: That is not an easy task, Machina weighs quite a significant amount more than BRAE does!

Jake Mercer: Don’t underestimate BRAE’s strength, though; have you seen his training videos?! The guy doesn’t lift weights, he lifts the gym equipment HOLDING those weights! He could probably suplex a bear.

Flannery McCoy: I don’t know about a bear, but he successfully managed to yank Machina up to his feet and then, in one fluid motion, arched backwards and landed the German suplex successfully!

Stew-O: AND he’s bridging it! He’s going for another pin!

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

TWOO-

Jake Mercer: Damn, another kick out by Machina- hold up, BRAE didn’t release the waist lock!

Flannery McCoy: You’re right, he seems to have rolled through the kick out and now they’re back at square one!

Stew-O: Is BRAE going for another German suplex?! Wait, no, he just got Machina back up to his feet, but he seems to be going for something else-

Jake Mercer: He removed the waist lock and leapt up into the air, catching himself on Machina’s back by applying a REAR NAKED CHOKE! THE CHOKEHOLD IS LOCKED IN, AND MACHINA IS IN THE CENTER OF THE RING!

Flannery McCoy: This looks like the most struggle Machina has been through thus far; his head is turning as red as his chest got after all of those chops!

Stew-O: He seems to be flailing his arms around in an attempt to throw BRAE off, but that man is locked in like a leech! He has no plans on letting go!

Jake Mercer: Attaboy! Ooh, Machina is looking furious as he keeps trying to pry BRAE’s hands off…

Flannery McCoy: It’ll take more than anger to get someone as determined as BRAE off.

Stew-O: OH! MACHINA SUDDENLY BROKE INTO A SPRINT TOWARDS THE CORNER! WHAT IS HE THINKING?!

Jake Mercer: OH NO, HE TURNED AROUND LAST MOMENT! HE JUST RAMMED BRAE INTO THE CORNER AT FULL SPEED! But the Imperial Symphony hangs on!

Flannery McCoy: Is that resilience or is that just a bad idea? I don’t think Machina has any plans of stopping-

Stew-O: You’re right, because he just slammed BRAE into the corner again! AND AGAIN! AND AGAIN! AND AGAIN!

Jake Mercer: AND BRAE IS FINALLY FORCED TO RELEASE AS HE COLLAPSES UP AGAINST THE CORNER!

Flannery McCoy: But I don’t think Machina is done yet, he suddenly grabs a hold of BRAE and violently pulls him away from the corner!

Stew-O: A BIEL THROW SENDS BRAE FLYING ACROSS THE RING! He lands with a harrowing thud all the way on the other side of the ring, where he arches his back in pain from the landing!

Jake Mercer: COME ON BRAE, YOU GOT THIS! Yes, the ropes, use the ropes to help you get up!

Flannery McCoy: He does exactly that as he yanks himself back to a standing position, but the moment he does, that behemoth of a man charges across the ring and makes it to BRAE within a matter of moments!

Stew-O: And he lands a titanic big boot on BRAE on top of that! The Imperial Symphony is getting thrown around and beaten like a ragdoll at this point!

Jake Mercer: I hate to say it, but his body folds like a ragdoll whenever he gets thrown around like that…

Flannery McCoy: He looks as though he’s about to go for the pin, but he hesitates and seems to think better of it.

Stew-O: Maybe he guessed that BRAE would have kicked out even after all of that assault – both of these men know just how much damage the other is capable of dealing AND receiving!

Jake Mercer: He instead grabs the Imperial Symphony by the hair and drags him up onto his shoulder – oh, I know what that set up is for :lupe:

Flannery McCoy: A POWERSLAM! As a matter of fact, I would call that a SNAP Powerslam with how abruptly Machina dropped to the mat and slammed BRAE’s body down!

Stew-O: And NOW he hooks the leg! Is this it for BRAE?! Is the New Breed Division still held hostage by the Machine?!

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Jake Mercer: :blessed:

Flannery McCoy: BRAE is able to stay in the game with an emphatic kick out well before the three count!

Stew-O: It seems the frustration for the Imperial Symphony’s resilience is starting to build up inside of the Machine! He reaches down and grabs hold of BRAE again; is he just going to keep doing the same move to beat him?

Jake Mercer: No… this one is worse! He’s not just hoisting him up and draping him over the shoulder, he’s hoisting him up… and then more up… and then even MORE up!

Flannery McCoy: IT’S A MILITARY PRESS! Michael Machina has BRAE held up by head and legs as he lifts BRAE as high as he can above him!

Stew-O: BRAE may use all the insane training in the world, but Michael Machina is a physical freak in the ring!

Jake Mercer: :lupe: Is he going for what I think he’s going for?!

Flannery McCoy: HEAT’S DESCENT! HEAT’S DESCENT! THE NEW BREED OF LEGENDS HAS TURNED INTO A ONE-MAN MACHINE WITH THIS LEVEL OF OFFENSE!

Stew-O: BRAE COMES CRASHING DOWN TO THE RING MAT WITH EVEN MORE VELOCITY AND IMPACT THAN THE LAST TIME! And now Machina hooks the legs again, this time with both legs captured.

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Jake Mercer: Even I’m shocked at that, how is BRAE able to do it?

Flannery McCoy: Even as he’s laid out on the ground after having kicked out, his face is shaking with energy and intensity!

Stew-O: Michael Machina looks bewildered by BRAE for a moment before he chuckles and starts laughing at the sheer absurdity of his challenger’s attitude!

Michael Machina: ALRIGHT! ALRIGHT! Let’s see how much you can handle, then.

Flannery McCoy: Intimidating words by the champion as he grabs BRAE’s right leg and drags him to the center of the ring!

Jake Mercer: Oh no – using the leg, he just flipped BRAE into a prone position and hooked the right foot with his arm!

Stew-O: SINGLE LEG BOSTON CRAB IS LOCKED IN! CENTER OF THE RING, NOWHERE TO GO, BRAE’S BACK IS BEING CONTORTED AND COMPRESSED BY THE NEW BREED OF LEGENDS!

Flannery McCoy: BRAE IS YELLING AND PRACTICALLY GROWLING AS HE FLAILS HIS ARMS LOOKING FOR ANY ROPES NEARBY!

Jake Mercer: But there’s no ropes to be found, and Michael Machina’s stance is as sturdy as a boulder! How is the Imperial Symphony going to get out of this one?!

Stew-O: I don’t know if he IS going to get out of this one! He’s scratching and clawing at the canvas as he looks for any respite whatsoever, but the New Breed of Legends is yelling back at him to give up!

Flannery McCoy: BRAE is… WHAT?! HE’S SLAMMING HIS OWN FOREHEAD INTO THE CANVAS!

Stew-O: What is WRONG with this man?!

Jake Mercer: I… is he hyping himself up?! Oh, he just planted both of his palms onto the canvas… AND HE’S PUSHING HIMSELF UP!

Flannery McCoy: Is he literally doing push-ups in the middle of the Boston Crab?!

Stew-O: This may be one of the most unorthodox methods of escape I’ve ever seen, but the constant up and down movement of the push ups is actually throwing Michael Machina off balance!

Jake Mercer: One more… AND THAT DID IT! ONE MORE EMPHATIC PUSH UP AND IT CAUSED MACHINA TO STUMBLE OUT OF THE HOLD!

Flannery McCoy: And that opening allows BRAE to claw himself away from the champion so he can recuperate his leg and back for even the briefest of moments!

Stew-O: Machina sees this as he staggers back to his feet; BRAE himself starts staggering up, trying to favor his left leg more than his right leg after having faced the brunt of that single leg Boston Crab!

Jake Mercer: Machina storms over to BRAE and grabs him by throat before throwing him over into the corner!

Flannery McCoy: He sprints forward and leaps forward to execute a corner splash on BRAE; 240 pounds of beef and muscle crashing down on the Imperial Symphony!

Stew-O: And he immediately starts running back to the opposite corner to bounce off the turnbuckles and sprint back at BRAE yet again!

Flannery McCoy: YET ANOTHER LEAPING CORNER SPLASH, AND BRAE IS LOOKING OUT OF IT!

Stew-O: Machina doesn’t stop there, though, he immediately starts sprinting over to the opposite side’s ropes as BRAE staggers out of the corner from the impact of the corner splash! What’s he planning?!

Jake Mercer: The New Breed of Legends gets to the ropes in a scarily small amount of time before bouncing off them and rebounding to start running back at BRAE with even more speed!

Flannery McCoy: I THINK HE’S GOING FOR IT–

Stew-O: BULLET FROM HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!

Jake Mercer: WAIT, OH MY GOD!

Flannery McCoy: BRAE JUST COLLAPSED TO THE MAT… BEFORE MACHINA GOT BACK TO HIM! HE LAUNCHED HIMSELF WITH THE BULLET FROM HELL, BUT BRAE WASN’T STANDING TO TAKE IT!

Stew-O: MACHINA’S MOMENTUM TURNED AGAINST HIM, HE WENT FLYING THROUGH THE ROPES AND CRASHING OUTSIDE IN HORRIFIC FASHION! LOOK AT THAT LANDING!

(The video feed replays the scene, showing Machina crashing almost head-first out to ringside before tucking just in time to save his neck.)

Jake Mercer: Is he… is he dead?!

Flannery McCoy: He’s twitching, so he’s still alive, but he’s certainly looking worse for wear after a stunt like that.

Stew-O: BRAE leered over from his laid-out position to see Machina on the outside; both men are down at the moment, but BRAE still seems to be conscious!

Jake Mercer: The Imperial symphony is taking a moment to rest and recuperate after the hellish onslaught he faced, but it seems he’s rolling over to the ropes to get to ringside from underneath the bottom rope!

Flannery McCoy: He joins Machina at ringside, and the New Breed of Legends is still flattened on the outside, although he’s managed to reach his arm up to his head and neck to clutch it in pain!

Stew-O: BRAE takes a moment to breathe… AND THEN BEGINS STOMPING THE LIVING HELL OUT OF MICHAEL MACHINA USING HIS LEFT LEG! HE’S GETTING A SECOND WIND HERE, IT SEEMS!

Jake Mercer: THAT’S RIGHT! DO IT FOR THE KAISER, BRAE! DO IT FOR THE KAISER!

Flannery McCoy: I’m pretty sure he’s doing it for HIMSELF, Jake, but nevertheless, he’s stomping the daylights out of the champion! We rarely ever see Machina get on the receiving end like this! This entire spectacle is a testament to what a freak of nature BRAE is too– everyone already has that idea of Machina, but BRAE is out to prove that he’s the new top dog!

Stew-O: BRAE reaches down and hooks both of Machina’s arms with a double underhook as he forces him back up to his feet…

Jake Mercer: BRAE looks back for a moment and sees the steel steps still pressed up against the barricade!

Flannery McCoy: With a smirk on his face, BRAE clenches and THROWS MICHAEL MACHINA OVERHEAD! A BUTTERFLY SUPLEX BY THE IMPERIAL SYMPHONY!

Stew-O: AND MICHAEL MACHINA GOES FLYING AND CRASHES INTO THE STEEL STEPS! THAT’S THE WORST LANDING IMAGINABLE!

Jake Mercer: Michael Machina is looking dead here, and it’s by BRAE’s hands! The New Breed of Legends is left squirming and writhing in pain after he falls back onto the ringside floor; when your body crashes into solid steel like that, especially those giant steel steps, the pain is unimaginable!

Flannery McCoy: The Imperial Symphony grabs Machina by the arm and drags him over to the ring before forcing him up onto the apron!

Stew-O: Oh, and he hooks Machina’s arms up with the ropes – I think we’ve seen this before!

Jake Mercer: THE TEN BEATS OF BRAEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Crowd: ONE!

Crowd: TWO!

Crowd: THREE!

Crowd: FOUR!

Crowd: FIVE!

Crowd: SIX!

Crowd: SEVEN!

Crowd: EIGHT!

Crowd: NINE!

Crowd: TEN!

Flannery McCoy: ALL TEN BEATS OF BRAE LAND, TOPPING OFF THIS MONSTROUS ATTACK ON THE CHAMPION!

Stew-O: AND HE YANKS MACHINA BACK INTO THE RING BEFORE THROWING HIM VIOLENTLY TO THE MAT!

Jake Mercer: HE FALLS ON TOP OF MACHINA BEFORE HE REACHES OVER AND HOOKS THE LEG!

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Jake Mercer: :mjwhat:

Stew-O: I can’t believe this! Even after all that damage, Machina still managed to kick out after having taken the brunt of BRAE’s offense!

Flannery McCoy: BRAE is looking just as stunned as all of us; of course, credit to Michael Machina, the man is a tank and has been known to withstand quite the amount of punishment!

Jake Mercer: Even someone as tough as him has to break sometime, and that time is now! FINISH HIM, BRAE!

Stew-O: What are you, his manager? Nevertheless, BRAE staggers up to his feet and glares down at Machina with… well, I’ll let you say it.

Jake Mercer: WITH THE RAGE !! !! !! 😈

Flannery McCoy: He gets in the corner as he looks to measure the New Breed of Legends up!

Stew-O: And Machina takes his time, finally staggering up to his feet with his chest clutched… and his eyes widen as he sees the Imperial Symphony making a beeline for him!!

Jake Mercer: MORRIGAAAAAAAAAAAN! THE BROGUE KICK CON- WAIT, NO, MICHAEL MACHINA WAS ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE WAY JUST IN TIME, AND HE STARTS RUNNING TO THE ROPES!

Flannery McCoy: BRAE TURNS AROUND AND SEES MACHINA HURTLING TOWARDS HIM–

Stew-O: MONEY SHOT! BRAE IS TURNED INSIDE OUT FROM THAT CLOTHESLINE FROM HELL, AND MICHAEL MACHINA LOOKS TO FLIP HIM FOR THE PIN!

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Jake Mercer: YESSS! BRAE WAS ABLE TO KICK OUT, AND THAT MEANS HE STILL HAS A CHANCE TO END THIS CURSED KAISER-HURTING REIGN!

Flannery McCoy: The sheer amount of willpower that both of these men have is nothing short of astounding!

Stew-O: Both men are on the canvas, struggling to get up after the beating they’ve both taken, but with the New Breed Championship on the line, neither man is willing to give an inch!

Jake Mercer: Slowly but surely, BRAE and Michael Machina both stagger to a kneel, and then their fee-

Flannery McCoy: NO, they aren’t waiting that long! Before they can even get on their feet, they begin throwing jabs at each other!

Stew-O: Machina throws a left hook… and then BRAE retaliates with a right hook of his own!

Jake Mercer: Left! Right! Left! Right! Left! Right! These men are trying to take each other apart – and they’re getting to their feet WHILE they’re launching these attacks! Are they gaining energy from this or something?!

Flannery McCoy: They very well might be, because both men have risen to their feet and they’re attacking each other back and forth with even more energy than before!

Stew-O: Machina fires off a short arm clothesline– but BRAE is able to duck underneath and get behind Machina! He’s trying to lock on that rear naked choke yet again!

Jake Mercer: But Machina knows better, he isn’t even allowing BRAE to lock his arms around his neck! BRAE keeps trying, but Machina is making sure the arm can’t go all the way around!

Flannery McCoy: BRAE releases the attempt in frustration and shoves Machina forward! The New Breed of Legends turns around and sees BRAE as he goes for the discus clothesline, spinning to gain momentum before launching that arm–

Stew-O: BUT MACHINA DUCKS UNDERNEATH THIS TIME! These men have each other scouted entirely, it seems!

Jake Mercer: Machina reaches down and hoists BRAE up, looking to plant him down with a back body drop– BUT BRAE MANAGES TO LAUNCH A SUDDEN 12-6 ELBOW TO THE ROOF OF MACHINA’S HEAD, FORCING HIM TO RELEASE!

Flannery McCoy: BRAE does manage to get himself dropped, and he takes advantage by breaking out into a sprint to hit the ropes and rebound to start charging back at Machina!

Stew-O: He leaps in the air, tilting himself sideways as he does as he attempts to put Machina down with a running crossbody– BUT MACHINA CAUGHT HIM MID-AIR! THERE’S NO GETTING OUT OF THAT! Machina marches to the center of the ring with BRAE trapped in his clutches…

Jake Mercer: HE JUST YELLED AT THE TOP OF HIS LUNGS! HOW DOES THIS FREAK HAVE SO MUCH ENERGY LEFT?!

Flannery McCoy: OH MY GOD! WITH BRAE IN HIS ARMS, HE JUST LEAPT UP INTO THE AIR AND BACKFLIPPED TO LAND ON HIM!

Stew-O: THAT WAS A MOONSAULT FALLAWAY SLAM; DO YOU UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH OF A FORCE OF NATURE YOU NEED TO BE TO EXECUTE A MOVE LIKE THAT?!

Jake Mercer: And he’s in perfect position to hook the leg and go for the pin– SNAP OUT OF IT BRAE, KICK OUT!

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Jake Mercer: :blessed: :blessed: :blessed:

Flannery McCoy: BRAE still has more gas left in the tank, it seems; either that or he’s been running on reserve power!

Stew-O: Machina glares down at BRAE with an exasperated expression on his face; I can only imagine he’s wondering what it’s going to take to put a man like BRAE down for good!

Michael Machina: Stay down… JUST STAY DOWN!

Jake Mercer: HE WON’T! You can sense the desperation leaking into Machina’s typically confident demeanor, he doesn’t know if he’ll actually be able to do this or not!

Flannery McCoy: After seeing BRAE kick out of all of that, do you really blame him?!

Stew-O: Either way, the match is going to have to end at some point, and only one of these two men will be able to claim the New Breed Championship for themselves when that bell rings! They can’t give up this close to the finish line!

Jake Mercer: I don’t think either of these two men have quit in them, it’s just going to be a matter of who knocks out whom first, and my bet is on BRAE!

Flannery McCoy: You may want to recast your bet, because BRAE is still laid out in the center of the ring, and the New Breed of Legends is setting up for something else!

Stew-O: Michael Machina stands adjacent to the laid out body of the Imperial Symphony and arcs his arms back before he leaps into the air– ANOTHER BACKFLIP!

Jake Mercer: THIS TIME GOING FOR A CLASSIC STANDING MOONSAULT AGAINST BRAE! HOW CAN A MAN THAT BUFF BE ABLE TO MOVE LIKE A CRUISERWEIGHT?!

Flannery McCoy: OH, BUT BRAE ROLLED OUT OF THE WAY! Michael Machina just landed on the canvas with nothing to cushion his fall, and now he’s clutching his ribs in pain from the brunt of the landing!

Stew-O: BRAE is still struggling to move, but he sees the rare moment of vulnerability from Michael Machina and he’s scrambling over to take advantage of it!

Jake Mercer: He grabs hold of Michael Machina’s leg and hooks it underneath his arm… is he getting payback?!

Flannery McCoy: HE IS, NOW MACHINA IS TRAPPED IN THAT SINGLE LEG BOSTON CRAB! These two are going tit for tat, but now Machina is on the receiving end of the pain!

Jake Mercer: No, he’s on the receiving end of the RAG-

Stew-O: Will you stop?! Anyways, Machina is yelling as he reaches for any nearby ropes, but he’s out of reach – not only that, but BRAE is actively pulling him away from any chance of a rope break!

Flannery McCoy: He keeps scratching and clawing, though, he isn’t showing any signs of giving up! His eyes just widened, did he get an idea?!

Jake Mercer: I hope not! Wait, he’s pressing his palms on the mat- oh come on, he’s just copying BRAE!

Stew-O: OH, no push ups from him though, he just pushed himself onto his back to throw BRAE off balance!

Flannery McCoy: And a stiff kick to the leg using his own free leg to force the Imperial Symphony to release him!

Jake Mercer: :mjcry: BRAE staggers back after perhaps being moments away from victory, but Machina is still laid out and clutching his leg in pain, he still hasn’t gotten up!

Stew-O: BRAE staggers back, holding his own leg after that kick seems to have reignited the pain he was going through earlier in the match; he sees Machina laid out in the center of the ring, though, and suddenly glares!

Flannery McCoy: What’s he thinking– OH MY GOD! HE’S RUSHING FORWARD! RED DEATH! RED DEATH TO THE THROAT OF MACHINA!

Jake Mercer: NOOOOOOO! MACHINA ROLLED OUT OF THE WAY JUST IN TIME, AND BRAE CRASHES FULL-FORCE INTO THE CANVAS!

Stew-O: If there’s one thing about BRAE, it’s that he never puts anything less than 100% into every move he goes for; unfortunately for him, that is sometimes to his detriment!

Flannery McCoy: He’s grabbing at his elbow in agony after having basically driven his elbow straight into the ring, and Machina is finally getting up to a knee after having successfully dodged the Red Death!

Jake Mercer: You can tell he’s a little shaken up after that, his reign just flashed before his eyes; a move like Red Death can take out anybody, bar none. I think the gears are starting to turn in his head that he needs to end this match as soon as possible, before BRAE is able to finish the job; HANG IN THERE, IMPERIAL SYMPHONY!

Stew-O: One thing you are right about is that Machina is looking to end this NOW! He crawls over to BRAE’s body and grabs hold of the leg that he targeted prior, before hooking it over his neck!

Flannery McCoy: We rarely see him pull this maneuver out, but we know what it is – this is Michael Machina’s stretch muffler, his signature MACHINA LOCK! These two have been going blow for blow, submission for submission, and I’m not sure how much either man can take at this point!

Jake Mercer: BRAE! YOU’VE GOT TO GET OUT OF IT!

Stew-O: Don’t you think he already knows that?! BRAE is flailing and yelling in pain as Machina wrenches that leg of his as much as possible, even rising up to a standing position, albeit with his knees heavily bent – whether that’s due to his own pain or in an attempt to stabilize, it’s hard to tell!

Flannery McCoy: BRAE is doing all that he can to get out of it, but Machina’s arms are out of reach for him to pry them off and he isn’t even able to crawl away to the ropes in a lock like this! What can he do?!

Jake Mercer: I think he’s starting to lose consciousness… please, no…

BRAE: ……

Jake Mercer: :lupe:

BRAE: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Jake Mercer: :krabs:

Flannery McCoy: A WARCRY FROM THE IMPERIAL SYMPHONY! OR IS THIS HIS LAST GASP?!

Stew-O: I think he was really almost gone, but the notion of failing to win the New Breed Championship just activated whatever remaining bit of adrenaline-fueled energy he has left, and now he’s flailing like crazy, trying to get Machina to drop him!

Flannery McCoy: Machina is doing everything he can to hold BRAE steady, and so far it’s working…

Jake Mercer: BUT NOW BRAE IS WILDLY ELBOW SMASHING THE LEGS OF MICHAEL MACHINA! THE MACHINE IS TREMBLING AS HE TRIES TO KEEP HIM UP, BUT BRAE IS FIRING THOSE ELBOWS OFF NON-STOP!

Stew-O: AND HE GETS DROPPED! MACHINA COLLAPSES TO THE MAT AND BRAE SCURRIES AWAY AS QUICKLY AS HE CAN! THIS MATCH IS STILL OPEN FOR ANYBODY TO WIN!

Flannery McCoy: Machina himself crawls to the corner, needing to use the leverage of the ropes at this point to be able to forcefully pull himself to a standing position!

Stew-O: But not a moment of respite for him as, the moment he stands up, he finds BRAE staggering right up to him and hits him with a HUGE HEADBUTT! AND NOW A SLAP! WHAT IS GOING THROUGH THIS MAN’S MIND?!

BRAE: YOU AREN’T TAKING THIS AWAY FROM ME! I! WILL! NOT! BE! DENIED! NOT BY YOU, NOT BY ANYBODY!

Jake Mercer: TELL HIM! AFTER SHOUTING THOSE WORDS, BRAE BEGAN FIRING OFF HIS SIGNATURE MACHINE GUN CHOPS TO THE CHEST OF THE NEW BREED OF LEGENDS!

Flannery McCoy: Oh my god, not just to the chest, he’s completely dropped the need for aim! Those chops are flying everywhere! Machina is getting chopped in the chest, the throat, the jaw, the face, BRAE’s arm seems to have a mind of its own and it’s thinking of nothing but violence!

Stew-O: Machina is trying to get his arms up in an attempt to guard himself from as many of the chops as he can, but BRAE’s frantic pace and wild aim are hard to account for, and many of the chops are getting through and landing with sharp sounds like gunshots!

Jake Mercer: Suddenly, BRAE grabs the head of Michael Machina and tucks it underneath his arm before hoisting him up!

Flannery McCoy: SNAP SUPLEX by the Imperial Symphony, but rather than releasing Machina from his grip, he keeps that head tucked and turns himself over to start slowly staggering back up to his feet with Machina being dragged up as a consequence!

Stew-O: Is he going for another suplex?! He pauses for a moment as he limps on his leg, before…

Jake Mercer: HE SPINS! A SNAP SPINNING NECKBREAKER INSTEAD! I don’t think he would have been able to lift Machina a second time for a suplex with all the damage that’s been done to his leg, so he improvised on the spot! Truly a wrestling genius!

Flannery McCoy: He covers the shoulder of Machina!

ONEEEEEEEE!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Stew-O: A KICK OUT BY MACHINA! But far less emphatically and far less early than he was doing prior; even the Machine is worn out at this point, and the nature of that kick out only seems to have motivated BRAE even further! He doesn’t look disappointed, he’s just gathering even more strength from it!

Flannery McCoy: He grabs Machina by the beard and starts dragging him up alongside him, even though Machina is seeming like dead weight at this point the way he’s barely able to get up at this point! Is this really the end for the Machine’s reign?!

Jake Mercer: BRAE staggers back a bit, taking aim at the head of Michael Machina, who seems to be out on his feet– I THINK THIS IS IT! FAVORING HIS GOOD LEG, BRAE STAGGERS FORWARD BEFORE GOING FOR MORRIGAN! MORRIGAN! THE BICYCLE KICK!

Stew-O: NO! NO! IT DID NOT CONNECT! MACHINA’S EYES SUDDENLY LIT UP WITH LIFE AS HE GRABBED THE LEG OF BRAE BEFORE IT COULD CONNECT! MACHINA STILL HAS SOME LIFE LEFT IN HIM!

Flannery McCoy: AND HE USES THE LEG AS A GRIP TO POP BRAE UP, SENDING HIM UP IN THE AIR TO A STARTLING HEIGHT!

Jake Mercer: BRAE COMES PLUMMETING DOWN– NO, MACHINA CATCHES HIM! BRAE! BRAE, GET OUT OF THERE!

Stew-O: EVEN AFTER ALL THE HELLISH TORMENT HE HAS BEEN THROUGH THIS MATCH… HOW IS MACHINA STILL ABLE TO DO THIS?! HE’S GOT BRAE UP IN A FIREMAN’S CARRY-

Flannery McCoy: AND NOW HE’S FORCEFULLY LIFTING HIM UP WITH THAT GORILLA PRESS!

Michael Machina: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!

Jake Mercer: NOOO-

Stew-O: HEAT’S DESCENT! HEAT’S DESCENT! HEAT’S DESCENT! MICHAEL MACHINA MANAGES TO LAND THAT GORILLA PRESS SLAM ON BRAE, DROPPING HIM VIOLENTLY ONTO HIS BACK! HE REACHES FOR THE LEG, I THINK HE’S ABOUT TO GET THE PIN!

Jake Mercer: NO, HE CHANGED HIS MIND! I THINK AT THIS POINT, HE THINKS BRAE WILL KICK OUT OF ANYTHING– HE JUST USED THE LEG TO FLIP BRAE OVER ONTO HIS ABDOMEN! HE GOT ON TOP OF BRAE’S BACK! HE’S NOT GOING FOR THE PIN, HE’S GOING FOR THE CALLISTO CLUTCH! MICHAEL MACHINA’S CAMEL CLUTCH! THAT’S ONE OF HIS FINISHING MANEUVERS!

Flannery McCoy: AND BRAE IS STRUGGLING FRANTICALLY AS HE TRIES TO ESCAPE THE MANEUVER, BUT IT SEEMS TO BE TO NO AVAIL AS MACHINA SEEMS DEAD SET ON KEEPING THIS IN!

Stew-O: REMEMBER, MACHINA IS JUST AS HURT AS BRAE IS, HE NEEDS TO KEEP THIS LOCKED IN UNTIL THE END!

Jake Mercer: BUT BRAE JUST WON’T STOP STRUGGLING AGAINST IT, HE’S GIVING IT EVERYTHING HE GO-

Flannery McCoy: OH MY GOD! BRAE MANAGED TO SLIP OUT OF MACHINA’S CLUTCHES AND SLIDE OUT FROM BEHIND HIM! MACHINA LOSES HIS BALANCE AND FALLS TO A KNEELING POSITION! MACHINA IS LEFT KNEELING! HE’S STARTING TO GET UP–

Stew-O: NO! RED DEATH TO THE BACK OF THE NECK OF MICHAEL MACHINA, AND HE GOES DOWN!

Jake Mercer: YESSSSSSSSS! WAIT, BRAE IS GETTING BACK UP– ANOTHER RED DEATH!

Flannery McCoy: AND HE ARCHES HIS ARM BACK AND HITS ONE MORE RED DEATH! IS MICHAEL MACHINA STILL ALIVE?!

Stew-O: BRAE DOESN’T CARE, HE TURNS MACHINA OVER AND HOOKS HIS LEG!

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

(Ding! Ding! Ding!)

Stephie Love: HERE IS YOUR WINNER, AND NEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW NEW BREED CHAMPION! BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

(‘I Miss The Rage’ by Mario Judah began blaring through the arena speakers once again as BRAE got off of Michael Machina’s body with an exhausted expression on his face. He wasn’t even able to pick himself up off the ground, just raising his arm up in victory from that seated position.)

Stew-O: I CAN’T BELIEVE WHAT I JUST WITNESSED! The incredible reign of Michael Machina just came to an end before our very eyes!

Flannery McCoy: BRAE has taken EVERYTHING from Michael Machina! He decimated Rory Slate, and now he’s taken out his reign at Pain for Pride Kingdom!

Jake Mercer: I MISS THE RAGE! I MISS THE RAGE! HE DID IT FOR THE KAISER! I MISS THE RAGE!

Stew-O: Whatever you think of the man, this has INCREDIBLE implications for Season 18! A brand new face atop the New Breed Division, and the world is now in the palm of BRAE’s hand!

(The video feed slowly fades to black as BRAE is helped up by the referee and continues celebrating, while Machina remains laid out.)

(The graphic for the next match is shown.)

View post on imgur.com

(The camera pans to Bella Braxton for the ring introductions.)

Bella Braxton: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST AT PAIN FOR PRIDE: KINGDOM IS THE UNSANCTIONED MATCH AND IT IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!

Crowd: ONE FALL!

Bella Braxton: SINCE THE MATCH IS UNSANCTIONED, THAT MEANS THE EAW IS NOT LIABLE FOR WHAT HAPPENS HERE TONIGHT BETWEEN THE CONTESTANTS, THEY ARE FREE OF ANY LEGAL RAMIFICATIONS!

(The crowd cheers in anticipation as the lights start to spin around and a huge explosion of fireworks happens before “Be Legendary” by Pop Evil starts to play throughout the arena, the crowd in Camping World Stadium rise to their feet.)

Bella Braxton: INTRODUCING FIRST! HE HAILS FROM NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK! WEIGHING IN AT 231 POUNDS! HERE IS….. ‘THE NEXT LEVEL” ADAM LUCAS!!!!!!

(The fans stand at their feet and begin to roar at the sight of Adam Lucas.)

Deadprez: WOOOOOOOW! LOOK AT ADAM LUCAS, DAWG!

Persephone: Oh brother.

Gavin Kirkland: WHAT A KING!

(Adam Lucas is wearing all black, with a black bandana over his face, black hat on top of a black Stallion, holding a noose.)

Deadprez: ADAM LUCAS IS DRESSED LIKE THE OLD VILLAINS IN THE WESTERNS RIDING OUT ON HIS BLACK STALLION! LOOK AT THE NOOSE HE HOLDS! IS THAT FOR HIS WIFE!?

Persephone: This looks ridiculous…. And not going to lie… I AM GETTING GOOSEBUMPS! THESE TWO ARE MARRIED! THEY SHARE THE SAME HOUSE, THE SAME BED, BUT THIS HAS BEEN BUILDING UP FOR OVER A YEAR AND WE REMEMBER ADAM LUCAS AND DR. BETHANY BLUE’S PAIN FOR PRIDE LAST YEAR! NOW IT COMES TO A HEAD!

(The crowd is erupting as Adam Lucas starts to ride down on his black stallion, he holds the noose up wearing the bandana over the bottom of his face, he looks ready as the crowd chants.)

Crowd: THIS IS AWESOME!!!! THIS IS AWESOME!!!!! THIS IS AWESOME!!!

Gavin Kirkland: ADAM LUCAS KNOWS THAT HE IS IN FOR A WAR! WILL HE GO ALL THE WAY TO END HIS WIFE’S REIGN OF TERROR!? THAT IS THE BIG QUESTION!

(Adam gets to the ring apron where there is a wrangler there waiting, Adam hops off the horse as the wrangler takes the Stallion away. He rolls into the ring and raises the noose, standing in the middle of the ring, before lowering it and slapping the ring a bunch of times with the noose.)

Deadprez: OH DAWG, YOU DON’T THINK THAT ADAM LUCAS IS READY!? OH, HE IS READY! LOOK AT HIM! HE IS READY FOR WAR!

Persephone: LAST YEAR BOTH MAIN EVENTED PAIN FOR PRIDE… AND NOW THEY FIGHT IN AN UNSANCTIONED MATCH! THE EAW HAS WIPED THEIR HANDS CLEANED OF THIS!

Gavin Kirkland: YEAH AND…. WAIT A SECOND…..

(The music fades and the lights dim, though the skies still have some light left. A message comes on the tron.)

(THIS ENTRANCE IS BOUGHT AND PAID FOR WITH ADAM LUCAS CREDIT CARD’S)

Adam Lucas: :francis:

(The arena starts to thump loudly as they hear a heart pumping. It starts pumping louder and louder, seeing on the Tron, the beats continue to get louder and louder, faster and faster and then suddenly……..)

(————————————————————————————————————-)

(FLATLINE)

(You hear the sound of a trauma team screaming…. WE HAVE A CODE BLUE!)

(—————————————————————————————————————)

(CALL IT!)

(Then a familiar sound, the voice of Dr. Bethany Blue softly says.)

Dr. Bethany Blue: 17:24

(Everything goes silent.)

Deadprez: What in the hell….

Persephone I….

Gavin Kirkland: I don’t … OH SHIT!

(Suddenly some loud sirens are heard, the crowd watches as 8 medical staff members roll out 8 gurney’s which looks like eight bodies under the sheet with toe tags, the crowd gasps.)

Crowd: GASP!

(The medical staff place them strategically down the ramp way and lock the wheels in, standing in the spaces next to them, all wearing surgical gear and masks. The sirens then start again but this time they are in the distance, when a coroner’s truck backs into the entrance way.)

Deadprez: This is sick! WHAT IS WRONG WITH THAT WOMAN!?

Eve: SHE IS VERY DISTURBED, I LOVE IT!

Gavin Kirkland: I MEAN… YEAH!

Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

(The coroner’s truck stops, two corners run out of the van, and they open the back doors. “Somebody Get Me A Doctor” by Van Halen starts to play as the fireworks go off as Doctor Bethany Blue walks out in all lavender and royal blue wrestling gear in a diamond studded Doctor’s coat, holding a medical bag.)

Bella Braxton: AND HIS OPPONENT! FROM MIAMI, FLORIDA! WEIGHING IN AT 125 POUNDS! DR. BETHANY BLUE!!!!!!!

(The crowd boos even louder as Bethany starts to make her way down to the ring, passing each “body” and Medical Assistant but her baby brown eyes are focused on her husband.)

Deadprez: IF EYES COULD KILL, ADAM LUCAS WOULD BE DEAD! THAT WOMAN HAS SOME MANIACAL THOUGHTS IN HER MIND! HOW DID IT GET LIKE THIS!

Persephone: SIMPLE PREZ! HAVE THE SEASON SHE HAD, SO CLOSE EVERY TIME. AND TOP THAT WITH HER PUSSY HUSBAND SCREWING EVERYTHING UP! I’M INSPIRED BY HER… I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD SAY… I LOVE DR. BETHANY BLUE!

Gavin Kirkland: SO DO I! BUT SHE HATES ME…. FOR REASONS.

Persephone: I am so glad I’m not on Showdown.

(Bethany passes another “body” and another, the camera pans to the toe tags, of various Elitists names she has defeated in her time in the EAW. She stop at the end of the ramp and turns around to lift her arms up and point at herself as a stream of fireworks shoot up into the skies.)

(Adam looks on intently. As Bethany walks around the ring, she high fives Persephone before putting the medical bag in the corner, rolling into the ring , dropping her coat and getting right in the face of Adam Lucas.)

Deadprez: LOOK AT THE TWO OF THEM! THEY ARE STARING DAGGERS IN EACH OTHER NOSE TO NOSE! FACE TO FACE!

Crowd: THIS IS AWESOME!!!!! THIS IS AWESOME!!!!! THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: WE NEVER THOUGHT THAT WE WOULD EVER WITNESS THIS!!!

Persephone: WE ARE SEEING A DIVORCE LIVE!

(The Married couple continue to glare at one another when the referee calls for the bell.)

(DING!!!! DING!!!!! DING!!!!!)

Deadprez: And these two are staring each other down, I am wondering what is going through their minds right now, imagine that feeling, two people that have spent the last almost three years inseparable are now about to fight in a match so violent that not even the EAW would sanction it.

Persephone: We have seen a lot of crazy things tonight already with the Cash In the Vault the 24/7 Battle Royal with my Luis and the other great matches that have been played out, even night one we saw so many things unfold but I don’t know how this one will go.

Gavin Kirkland: Well, I can say one thing, they are not going to hug it out, kiss and make up.

(The crowd is electric in anticipation to see these two tear into each other. Bethany and Adam have not stopped glaring at each other before Bethany softens her stance and places her hand on his chest.)

Dr. Bethany Blue: (Off Mic) I love you so much. I am sorry.

(Now that softens Adam’s stance a little brings down his guard some and he grabs her hand and nods.)

Adam Lucas: (Off Mic) I love you too, Beth.,,,,

(But his eyes then widened.)

Adam Lucas: BUT I DON’T LOVE DR. BETHANY BLUE!

(Her eyes widen as Adam – )

Deadprez: DRAWS BETHANY IN AND BELLY TO BLACK SUPLEXES HER! BETHANY SHOCKED LANDS ON HER BACK AND SHE IS QUICKLY UP AND CHARGES ADAM HITTING HIM WITH FOREARMS, BACKING HIM TO THE ROPES, SHE WHIPS HIM…. NO ADAM REVERSES AND FOLLOWS THROUGH –

Persephone: SHE CLOTHESLINE BETHANY OVER THE TOP ROPE AND SHE LANDS HARD ON THE FLOOR! ADAM LUCAS CAME TO FIGHT AND WE THOUGHT HE WAS GOING TO HOLD BACK! HE SAID IT ALREADY, HE WANTS HIS WIFE BETH BACK AND GET RID OF THIS DR. BETHANY BLUE!

Gavin Kirkland: THIS IS SPOUSAL ABUSE!

(Adam relentless in his pursuit, goes out to the ring, he grabs Bethany up by the hair, but she turns and wallops him with her raped fist right into his chin.)

Deadprez: Huge right hand by Dr. Bethany Blue! It has staggered Adam a little, as he stumbles back some, those taped fists hurt, and usually the Good Doctor doesn’t wear tape, but she came prepared on this day!

Persephone: Adam knew that he was in for a fight…. He actually isn’t a pussy! And Bethany pushes Adam into the steel post! His head bounced back and…. HUGE RUNNING HIGH KNEE BY BETHANY!

Gavin Kirkland : NO! Adam caught her knee, he lifts her up right in the barricade he threw her and the fans are loving this married couple beat the crap out of each other! He grabs her and tosses her back in the ring, and he slides in after her –

Persephone: CONCUSSION PROTOCOL! YES!

Deadprez: DR. BETHANY BLUE CAME OUT OF NOWHERE AND TRIED TO HIT THAT MOVE BUT ADAM AT THE LAST SECOND DUCKED, HE GRABS HER AND SCOOPS UP BETHANY AND SLAMS HER ON THE MAT, SHE QUICKLY ROLLS OUT THE RING AGAIN! Smart play by the Doctor but wait she is looking for something, and here comes Ada, he again rolls out after her, Bethany is going into her Medical bag, Adam grabs her!

(CRACK!)

Persephone: SHE JUST CRACKED ADAM ON THE HEAD WITH A STEEL NEURO HAMMER!

(CRACK)

Persephone: SHE DID IT AGAIN AND ADAM IS STUNNED! SHE GRABS HIM AND THROWS ADAM INTO THE STEEL STEPS HEADFIRST!

(SMASH)

Gavin Kirkland: Look at the crazed look on Bethany’s face! The smile after she hit Adam with that Neuro Hammer and now she is looking for something else!

Crowd: WE WANT TABLES!!!!! WE WANT TABLES!!!! WE WANT TABLES!!!!!

(Bethany looks out at the crowd and screams.)

Dr. Bethany Blue: (Off Mic) I DON’T GIVE A SHIT WHAT YOU WANT ORLANDO!

(The crowd erupts in boos as Bethany starts hitting Adam again on the back of his head, his neck with that Neuro Hammer.)

(CRACK)

(CRACK)

(CRACK)

(She drops it and picks up Adam and rolls him back in the ring, she turns back to her bag and takes out ….)

Gavin Kirkland: OH MY GOD….. I’M STARTING TO HURT IN PLACES I SHOULDN’T BE!

Persephone: What is that?

Deadprez: NAH… NAH! BETHANY DON’T DO THIS!

Crowd: HOLY SHIT!!!! HOLY SHIT!!!! HOLY SHIT!!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: THAT WOMAN HAS A SURGICAL CATHETER FORCEPS!

(The Catheter forceps is a tool to use on the penis to help install the catheter so the urine can drain freely in a bag.)

Deadprez: Yeah.. NAH! This bitch has lost it! SHE IS STALKING ADAM AS HE IS SLOWLY GETTING UP, HE TURNS AND –

Gavin Kirkland: ADAM LUCAS WAS ABLE TO USE HIS STRENGTH TO GRAB HER HAND! SHE IS GRITTING HER TEETH TRYING TO USE THE TOOL! ADAM THOUGH OVERPOWERS HER AND TAKES IT, HE LOOKS SURPRISED THAT SHE WOULD EVEN DO THAT TO HIM, SO HE THROWS IT DOWN BUT JUST AS HE DOES –

Persephone: TJD! THE BEAUTIFUL SUPER KICK…. NO! HE CAUGHT HER LEG AND BRINGS HER IN… CLOTHESLINE! BETHANY JUST FLIPPED WITH THE POWER OF THE CLOTHESLINE AND SHE IS DOWN!

Deadprez: ADAM LUCAS IS ON THE DEFENSE RIGHT NOW, AND HE IS LOOKING TO REFUSE TO USE ANY WEAPONS! HE GRABS BETHANY BY THE HAIR –

Adam Lucas: (Off Mic) STOP THIS NONSENSE! ARE WE DONE!? NO MORE!

(Bethany spits in his face.)

Persephone: OMG! You know I used to hate this bitch, now she is one of my favorites! Spit at him again girl!

Deadprez: What a show of disrespect! Adam Lucas just wipes his face… and HE BOOTS HER RIGHT IN THE FACE! DR. BETHANY BLUE GOES DOWN AND ADAM LUCAS LOOKS OUT INTO THE CROWD WHO STAND UP AND CHEER!

Crowd: ADAM!!!! ADAM!!! ADAM!!!! ADAM!!!! ADAM!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: He is waiting for Bethany to slowly get up, she is looking up at him and her mouth is bleeding! She wipes it some and look at that…. She is smiling! She is happy that Adam Lucas is doing this to her!

Deadprez: That is what she wants, Gavin! She wants him to see the real Adam inside as a competitor and I think she is winning this match for one reason, she is doing what she wanted all along, to bring this out of Adam, she doesn’t care if she walks out the victor or not, this was the damn plan!

(Adam shakes his head, that she would be on her knees giving him that bloody smile. Adam grabs her to her feet – )

Deadprez: He whips her against the ropes, but Bethany stops, she slides and stands on the outside for a moment…. Wait a second, Adam is running the opposite side and Bethany doesn’t even notice…. TOPE SUICIDA ON THE GOOD DOCTOR! ADAM LUCAS FLATTENED BETHANY AND SHE IS ON THE FLOOR!

(The crowd erupts in cheers.)

Gavin Kirkland: Asam Lucas pics her up and he hoists Bethany over his shoulder! He is starting to walk up the ramp, has he had enough!? Maybe this is it for Adam Lucas, making his way up and wait…. Bethany slips out from behind and thumb pokes his eye! Adam is blinded for a second – what the hell is she doing!

Persephone: OH MY! THIS IS SO MORBID I LOVE IT! SHE GRABS ADAM AND HEAD BUTTS HIM INTO ONE OF THE CADAVERS ON THE RAMPWAY! THIS IS UNSANCTIONED SO I KNOW THAT EAW CAN’T DO ANYTHING ABOUT SOME DEAD PEOPLE UNDER SHEETS ON THE RAMPWAY!

(Bethany continues to head butt him into the cadaver’s head over and over as he finally falls – )

Gavin Kirkland: ADFAM LICAS IS SPLIT WIDE OPEN! HE IS BLEEDING AND SHE MUST HAVE REALLY FORCED HIS HEAD INTO THAT AND…. WAIT –

(Bethany takes off the sheet of the cadaver much to the horror of everyone, but it is just an operating dummy, that the head was taken off and there was a brick there instead.)

Persephone: SHE WAS SMASHING HIS HEAD INTO A BRICK!? WHAT A GENIUS! WAIT, SHE IS GRABBING THAT BRICK SHE IS LIFTING IT OVER HER HEAD, SHE IS GOING TO SMASH HIS BRAINS OUT!

Deadprez: WE KNOW SHE LOVES BRICKS! SHE DID THIS TO KASSIDY HEART OVER A YEAR AGO! SHE IS READY TO DROP IT ON HIS HEAD, NO! –

Gavin Kirkland: ADAM KICKED HER LEGS FROM UNDER HER AND THE BRICK FELL ON HER HEAD! BETHANY IS STUMBLING, SHE MIGHT HAVE KNOCKED HERSELF OUT WITH THAT AS ADAM IS SLOWLY GETTING BACK TO HIS FEET, BLEEDING AND BARELY ABLE TO STAND!

(Bethany is on the rampway holding her head, Adam then sees the gurney and he pushes the cadaver off and grabs it – )

Persephone. He has Bethany now and places her on the gurney! He is strapping her in! What is this man doing! He has the gurney and tolls it down the ramp…. It is picking up speed!

(CRASH!!!!! )

Deadprez: BETHANY JUST CRASHED INTO THE SIDE OF THE RING! BUT ADAM IS NOT DONE! HE GRABS THE GURNEY…. HE MUSCLES IT UP, IS HE GOING TO SMASH HIS WIFE IN THE STEEL POST!

(SMACK!!!!!)

Gavin Kirkland: ADAM LUCAS JUST SMASHED HIS WIFE FACE AND CHEST FIRST INTO THE STEEL POST! HE SWUNG THAT LIKE A BAT! BETHANY IS DEAD!

(The gurney lays face down, Bethany is not moving, crushed under it, Adam stands over it and he looks out into the crowd as the fans scream.)

Crowd: HOLY SHIT!!!! HOLY SHIT!!!! HOLY SHIT!!!!

Persephone: Is she dead! If the crushing blow of the steel post didn’t get her I am sure that the fall face first did!

(Adam turns the gurney over, Bethany’s eyes are closed, and she isn’t moving. For a second, Adam finally realizes what he has done to the woman he loves.)

Deadprez: There is remorse there, you can see it in his eyes. Adam slowly sits her up and picks up Bethany’s motionless body, rolling her into the ring. I think Adam is going to try and finish this now!

OME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THREE –

Persephone: BETHANY KICKED OUT! I don’t think even Adam can believe it! But this match continues! Adam is beside himself!

Adam Lucas: (Off Mic) Please stay down!

Dr. Bethany Blue: (Off Mic) Fuck you.

Gavin Kirkland: Welp, he got her answer! Adam is now grabbing Bethany by the head, whipping her into the ropes, and SPINEBUSTER! –

Deadprez: NO! Bethany floats over, Adam turns into the ripcord forearm! And another! And another! She has Adam stunned, she bounces off the ropes and…. No! Adam caught her with the discus punch that send Bethany into the ropes, he charges in –

Persephone: SHE LAUNCHED HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE! AND LOOK AT BETHANY! SHE QUICKLY GOES OUTSIDE; SHE IS LOOKING UNDER THE RING! SHE HAS A CHAIR AND THROWS IT IN! AND ANOTHER! AND ANOTHER! AND ANOTHER! AND ANOTHER! SHE JUST THROUGH A BUNCH OF CHAIRS IN THE RING

(Bethany starts setting up the chairs, opening them and lining them up, she then slides back under and pulls – )

Persephone: AND NOW SHE IS GOING TO THE OTHER SIDE…. AND SHE BRINGS OUT – OH. A PLATE OF GLASS!? OH, SHE’S A GENIUS!

Deadprez: BETHANY REMEMBERS THE GLASS FROM LAST YEARS PAIN FOR PRIDE AND THAT HAS ALWAYS BEEN A SORE SUBJECT FOR HER! SHE PARTLY BLAMES ADAM FOR GETTING THROWN IN THE GLASS WALLZ MATCH AND THIS TIME SHE IF GOING TO RETURN THE FAVOR!

Gavin Kirkland: She sets the glass on the chairs! And now she is grabbing Adam Lucas who fell pretty hard on his back, rolling him in and placing him on the top rope! Oh yeah…. yeah…. She is going to smash her husband into the glass!

(The crowd looks on in anticipation as Bethany looks to suplex him into the glass… and she tries to lift him….)

Deadprez: BETHANY IS NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO LIFT HIM! SHE CHANGES COURSE! SHE DOES HER BEST TO NOW TRY A HURRICANRANA AND BETHANY GOES FOR IT! NOOOO! ADAM IS HOLDING STRONG!

Adam Lucas: (Off Mic) I am sorry my love…..

Persephone: No, you are an asshole!

Deadprez: HE HAS HER HANGING UPSIDE AND ADAM….. LAUNCHES BETHANY OFF THE FRONT SIDE FIRST OFF THE ROPES!

(SHATTER!)

Deadprez: DR, BETHANY BLUE’S ENTIRE BODY SHATTERED THE GLASS FACE AND FRONT FIRST! SHE IS CONVULSING AND SCREAMING RIGHT NOW!

Crowd: HOLY SHIT!!!!!! HOLY SHIT!!!!! HOLY SHIT!!!!!! HOLY SHIT!!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: HE JUST THREW HIS WIFE INTO THAT PANE OF GLASS AND SHE SHATTERED IT ON IMPACT! DR. BETHANY BLUE…… oh my god….

(Bethany turns over and her entire body is covered in shards of glass, bleeding out of her head, chest, head, abdomen and legs.)

Deadprez: STOP THE DAMN MATCH! SHE IS COVERED IN BLOOD FROM HEAD TO TOE! DR. BETHANY BLUE HAS SOME MANY DIFFERENT LACERATIONS OVER HER ENTIRE BODY AND EVEN ADAM IS SHAKEN BY WHAT HE HAS DONE!

(Adam literally is in shock. He can’t believe that he just did that to his wife. His hands westing on the side of his head trying to make sense of this carnage. He drops down and quickly tries to cover to end this.)

Gavin Kirkland: Yes, end this now, please!

ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THREE –

Persephone: SHE KICKED OUT! Now usually I like matches ending, but not this one! Bethany kicked out and looked at her! Everything is covered in blood, even Adam now!

Deadprez: Adam cannot believe it! He is trying to not do any more damage on his wife, he knows that he can’t keep doing this! He can’t! But Adam has no Choice! He picks up Bethany, the glass all over the ring, he whips her into the turnbuckle… STINGER SPLASH! That is the prelude to his Next Level Pick up Powerbomb and she stumbles right into him, he lifts her up!

Persephone: SHE JUST THREW GLASS AT HIS FACE! BETHANY MUST’VE GABBED SOME OF THE GLASS PIECES AND THREW THEM RIGHT IN THE FACE OF ADAM! I THINK HE MIGHT BE BLINDED…. AND SHE GRABS THE SURGICAL CATHETER FORCEPS THAT WERE TAKEN FROM HER EARLIER AND –

Crowd: :damn:

Gavin Kirkland: :damn:

Deadprez: :damn:

Persephone: :roman:

Deadprez: SHE JUST LATCHED THOSE ON THE GENITALS OF ADAM LUCAS! WHAT IN THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THIS WOMAN AS HE JUST FREEZES IN PAIN! BETHANY GRABS MORE GLASS SHARD AS ADAM IS TRYING TO GET HIS BODY FUNCTIONS BACK!

Gavin Kirkland: SHE SHOVES THE GLASS IN HIS MOUTH…. TJD! BETHANY JUST KICKED ADAM IN THE MOUTH WHILE HE WAS PARALYZED IN PAIN AND HE FALLS, COUGHING UP BLOOD!

(Bethany unhooks the surgical catheter forceps and throws them away, before grabbing a chair, the bloody Doctor just stands there before suddenly – )

(SLAM!)

(SLAM!)

(SLAM!)

(SLAM!)

(SLAM!)

Deadprez: STOP IT BETHANY!!!!!

(SLAM!)

(SLAM!)

(SLAM!)

(SLAM!)

(SLAM!)

Gavin Kirkland: OKAY…. THIS IS TOO MUCH!!!!

(SLAM!)

(SLAM!)

(SLAM!)

(SLAM!)

(SLAM!)

Persephone: HIT HIM MORE TIMES GIRL!

(SLAM!)

(SLAM!)

(SLAM!)

(SLAM!)

(SLAM!)

(Bethany throws the chair down and watches her husband convulse and start to bleed from his back – )

Deadprez: SHE JUST HIT HER HUSBAND TWENTY TIMES WITH A STEEL CHAIR NONSTOP! DR. BETHANY BLUE IS A PSYCHO! SHE HAS COMPLETELY LOST HER DAMN MIND! SHE HAS BASHED AND BATTERED THE BODY OF ADAM LUCAS AND HE IS BARELY MOVING, BUT SHE IS NOT GOING FOR THE COVER!

Gavin Kirkland: She is grabbing Adam’s legs! Oh no,… she lifts him up, arches his back and drives her knee to the back of his head in this elevated Boston Crab she calls FRACTURED and she is about to FRACTURE ADAM’S BACK!

(Adam screams out on pain, already beaten badly by the chair shots to the back by the steel, Bethany continues to wrench more and more as he screams, the referee drops to ask him if he quits but Adam screams – )

Adam Lucas: (Off Mic) FUCK NO!

(The fans erupts in cheers.)

Crowd: ADAM!!!!! ADAM!!!!! ADAM!!!!! ADAM!!!!! ADAM!!!!!

Dr. Bethany Blue: (Off Mic) SHUT THE FUCK UP!

(The fans erupt now in large boos)

Gavin Kirkland: I don’t know how much more Adam Lucas can take! He has been taking a huge beating from the get go! But now she is looking to break his back! But look at Bethany! The blood poured from her whole front of her body! She looks like she has been in a car crash!

Persephone: I would normally just hope for Adam to give up, but honestly I want this to continue, I love watching her beat him up!

Deadprez: There is too much fight in Adam Lucas, he wants this, he needs to stop the rampage of his wife, because If he doesn’t what is to tell what she does next season!? Look at how she has progressively gotten worse in the last year and a half, she has slowly faded and descended into madness, we are seeing it right before our eyes!

(Adam tries his best to lift himself up, but Bethany holds the hold tightly, yet Adam is able to reach behind him, grab her foot – )

Deadprez: HE TRIPS UP BETHANY! He is able to break the hold and we have to look at Bethany’s condition too! Normally she has some of the strongest legs in the business, but that was enough to teeter her off, that loss of blood is getting to her!

Persephone: It might be, but what damage has been done to Adam’s back! He is slowly getting up, he should just say sorry and tell the Doctor that she was right, and he was wrong, what a dumbass.

Deadprez: NO! Adam Lucas is a fighter, and deep down inside he knows that his wife needs to be stopped! Maybe he is right, maybe Beth that he knows and married is a different woman, but those two worlds merged and look at her now!

(Adam is back to his feet, she is up too and sees him standing there, she smiles and rolls out of the ring, screaming before he now has the ability to slide out after her, Bethany runs around the ring, Adam gives chase…)

Gavin Kirkland: These two can barely run and she slides under the ring! Adam Lucas is not trying to grab her, but she is gone! Where did Bethany go!

Persephone: It looks like she is coming out on the other side, and she has something with her? WAIT…. WAIT…… OMG!

Crowd: HOLY SHIT!!!! HOLY SHIT!!!!!! HOLY SHIT!!!!!!

(Bethany emerges on the other side of the ring and she has in her hand as Adam is crawling under the ring to the other side…..

Gavin Kirkland: Okay, I have seen it all now! IT IS A PITCHFORK! WHAT THE HELL IS THAT WOMAN DOING WITH A PITCHFORK!

Persephone: Oh, this is about to get ugly, and I love it! ADAM IS GOING TO COME OUT ON THE OTHER SIDE AND SHE IS GOING TO STICK HIM WITH IT! BETHANY RAISES IT WITH BOTH ARMS, SHE IS WAITING FOR HIM TO COME OUT SO SHE CAN IMPALE HIM WITH IT ON HIS BACK!

Deadprez: NAH DAWG! WE ABOUT TO SEE A MURDER IN THIS MUG! STOP THE DAMN MATCH REFEREE!

Persephone: IT IS UNSANCTIONED DEADPREZ! THE REFEREE CAN’T STOP IT! IT’S NOT UNDER EAW REGULATION!

Gavin Kirkland: I CAN’T WATCH!

(The crowd is screaming as the apron is starting to rumble a little, he slowly crawls out on the other side and….)

(STICK!!!!!!!)

Crowd: :damn: :damn: :damn:

Deadprez: SHE JUST KILLED HER HUSBAND!

(All you hear is everyone screaming but Bethany as her eyes widened.)

Deadprez: SHE STABBED A SANDBAG THAT IS USED FOR UNDER THE RING! ADAM SLIPPED UP FROM THE OTHER SIDE AND HE RUNS SHE TURNS….. RUNNING LARIAT!

Gavin Kirkland: BETHANY DID A 360 AND FELL FACE FIRST ON THE GROUND AND …. OH SHIT.

(Adam’s eyes widened as he saw what happened. She slowly stands up with blood spilling from her mouth as he notices….)

Crowd: HOLY SHIT!!!!! HOLY SHIT!!!! HOLY SHIT!!!!

Deadprez: IT CAUSED BETHANY TO IMPALE HERSELF RIGHT UNDER HER CHIN! SHE HAS A PITCHFORK BLADE EMBEDDED UNDER HER CHIN AND ADAM IS FREAKING OUT!

Persephone: What is he going to do? Tell her he apologizes for stabbing her with a tool they use to scrape up hay!?

(Bethany yanks it out as the crowd gasps and drops it. She walks toward Adam and collapses to the floors. Adam screams for help as he cradles her.)

Adam Lucas: (Off Mic) SOMEBODY HELP ME PLEASE! SOMEONE! HELP ME! HELP MY WIFE!

Persephone: DID HE JUST KILL BETHANY!?

Deadprez: IT WAS AN ACCIDENT AND…. Hold the hell on….

(While Adam is not paying attention, Bethany is reaching into her boot – )

Gavin Kirkland: SHE IS STILL ALIVE! SHE IS REACHING INTO THE BOOT! SHE IS REACHING AND TAKING OUT…… OR FOR FUCKS SAKE! I AM SO DONE WITH THIS MATCH! THESE TWO ARE SO DIVORCED! THEY ARE NOT COMING BACK! HER AND JAKE SMITH THE MURDERER ARE PERFECT FOR ONE ANOTHER!

(SLASH)

Deadprez: DR. BETHANY BLUE JUST TOOK OUT A SCALPEL AND SLICED THE FCE OF ADAM LUCAS! HE LET’S HER GO AND HOLDS HIS BLEEDING FACE!

Persephone: THIS IS THE BEST THING EVER! LOOK AT HER FACE!? THAT IS A WOMAN SCORNED RIGHT THERE!

(Bethany is gritting her teeth, blood pouring from her mouth and chin, she is a crimson mask all over her body and doesn’t care as Adam is holding the wound on his face, she has the scalpel in hand.)

Dr, Bethany Blue: )Off Mic) GET UP! GET UP AND SHOW ME YOU’RE THE MAN I FELL IN LOVE WITH! THE FIGHTER! THE WARRIOR! NOT THIS COWARD!

Adam Lucas: (Off Mic) Bethany…. Don’t make me do something I will regret the rest of my life!

(She charges at him the second Adam gets to his feet, she tries to stab him, but her blocks her arm, kicks her in the midsection causing the scalpel to drop, he hooks her – )

Deadprez: A QUICK PILEDRIVER INTO THE FLOOR MATS AND THAT MIGHT HAVE KNOCKED BETHANY UNCONSCIOUS! HE GRABS HER LMP BODY AND ROLLS HER IN, HE GOES FOR THE PINFALL!

ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THREE –

Gavin Kirkland: BETHANY KICKED OUT! HOW I DON’T KNOW BUT SHE KICKED OUT! ADAM IS BESIDE HIMSELF! HE HAS DONE ENOUGH TO HIS WIFE AND NOW IS PICKING HER UP!

Deadprez: HE HAS NO CHOICE BUT TO FINISH THIS WOMAN THAT IS HIS WIFE! THE CROWD IS GOING BALLISTIC AS HE WHIPS HER INTO THE ROPES….. LEVEL UP!

Persephone: NO! THE MINUTE HE THREW BETHANY UP IN THE AIR SHE TWISTED INTO THE REMEDY! THE CUTTER PLANTED ADAM LUCAS INTO THE MATS AND SHE JUST SAVE HERSELF FROM DEFEAT!

(Both of them are laying on the mat all bloody for a moment, the referee cannot make any counts, so he watches on as both are motionless.)

Crowd: THIS IS AWESOME!!!!! THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!! THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!!

Deadprez: Both are down! But Bethany is crawling first! She is slowly trying to get to the ropes, and look at Adam Lucas! He is moving too! He is trying to reach over as well! They are getting back to their feet!

Gavin Kirkland: How much these two have left!? How much more can they take!? This is one of the darndest things I have ever witnessed but both are up and Bethany turns –

Persephone: ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? ADAM LUCAS HAS THAT NOOSE AROUND HER NECK!

Deadprez: BETHANY IS PANICKING! SHE IS TRYING TO TAKE IT OFF BUT Adam just tightened it and he whips her into the ropes and THROWS HER OVER THE TOP ROPE! HE HAS HUNG DR. BETHANY BLUE AND THE FANS ARE GOING BALLISTIC!

Crowd: HOLY SHIT!!!! HOLY SHIT!!!!!! HOLY SHIT!!!!!!

Persephone: HE IS HANGING HIS OWN WIFE! LOOK AT HIM! HE IS PULLING AND SHE IS GASPING FOR BREATH! DR, BETHANY BLUE IS ABOUT TO TURN…. BLUE!

Deadprez: ADAM NOW HAS SNAPPED! LOOK AT THE CRAZED LOOK IN HIS EYES AND BETHANY IS AT HS MERCY! AS SHE CONTINUES TO STRUGGLE SHE IS STARTING TO LOSE MORE AND MORE! SHE IS GETTING WEAKER AS HE CONTINUES TO PULL!

(Everyone is watching in awes as Adam is hanging his wife, she is frantically trying anything to break the hold but cannot, she is slowly losing air until her body starts to fall and go limp, but Adam Lucas continues pull – )

Gavin Kirkland: SHE IS DEAD ADAM! IT’S OVER!

Deadprez: ADAM FINALLY DROPS THE NOOSE AND BETHANY CRUMBLES TO THE FLOOR. Adam is taking a second to see what he just did! I think it finally dawned on him that he choked out Bethany! He sits there for a second when he sees the people that Bethany works with in the crowd, the family, they are all stunned by this! He is questioning himself right now! He is wondering what the hell did he just do!

(Adam quickly rolls out of the ring and loosens the noose over her neck, she is blue in the face and while still breathing, she is unconscious. Adam panics and picks her up, rolling Bethany back in the ring, he needs to stop this so they can get medical attention for her.)

Persephone: What a jerk! He lays on her, she’s done… it’s over!

ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

……

…….

…….

Persephone: YES! SHE GETS HER SHOULDER UP! THE ENTIRE CROWD IS IN SHOCK AND I LOVE IT! LOOK AT ADAM! HE CAN’T BELIEVE THAT HIS WIFE IS NOT GOING DOWN LIKE THAT!

Deadprez: I knew that Dr. Bethany Blue throughout the years was tough, but she has shown tonight that she is almost unkillable! Adam Lucas has thrown everything at her and now he is tying that noose around his arm, that heat rope and hopes over the ropes, he waits as Bethany slowly get to her feet –

Persephone: THE EQUALIZER! THE BUCKSHOT LARIAT AND IT CONNECTS –

Gavin Kirkland: NOOOO! TJD! AND ADAM FALLS ON ALL FOUR, BETHANY RUNS AGAINST THE ROPES….. CONCUSSION PROTOCOL! SHE JUST SMASHED ADAM’S HEAD INTO THE MATS AND GOES FOR THE FIRST COVER AND COULD BE THE LAST ONE BETHANY HAS DONE ALL MATCH!

ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

…..

…..

…..

Persephone: HOW!? ADAM LUCAS KICKS OUT AND NOW BETHANY IS IN SHOCK! SHE CANNOT BELIEVE IT AND NEITHER CAN I!

Crowd: THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!! THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!!! THIS IS AWESOME!!!!

Deadprez: They are both down again and this time Bethany slowly gets up, she wipes blood from her face and rolls out of the ring! LOOK! She is digging into her medical bag, and she just tucked something into her tights! Did you see that!?

Persephone: I saw nothing, but anyway! Bethany is looking for something and ….she also took a glove out and stuffed it in her boot! This bitch is preparing for war! And now she takes something else out with a bottle…. Of LUBE! OMG IS SHE GOING TO GIVE HIM A RECTAL EXAMINATION ON LIVE TV!?

Garvin Kirkland: We are so getting canceled.

(Bethany rolls back in the ring, she has in her hands a small carrying back, she takes it out, opens the can of lube and powers the machine on…..)

Deadprez: WAIT A SECOND!? IS THAT A DEFIBRILLATOR!?

Persephone: A what?

Gavin Kirkland: It is used when someone has a cardiac arrest, but it can also be a deadly weapon when used, as it sends an electrical shock through the body and can even burn it! That is why Bethany has the handles, she is putting that lube on it for the body –

Persephone: How do you know so much about lube?

Gavin Kirkland: :krabs:

(Bethany kicks on the machine, she turns to Adam who is slowly starting to get up, she waits but in the meantime, she reaches over and screams at Persephone.)

Dr. Bethany Blue: (Off Mic) PERSEPHONE! GRAB ME THAT SMALL SATCHEL YOU BEAUTIFUL BITCH!

(Persephone quickly gets out of the table and into the side pocket of the bag, finds it, hands it to Bethany, and they fist pump afterwards.)

Deadprez: What the hell was that for! Stay at the announcement table! What!? Are you two sudden buddies or something!?

Persephone: Hey! Well yeah! My girl here wanted a hand, I gave it to her, I know about ungrateful exes okay, and she hates him too!

Deadprez: Rex was never your ex and…. Wait…. BETHANY TAKES OUT A SMALL BOTTLE OF LIQUID AND SHE POURS IT ON HER BOOT!

Gavin Kirkland: WHAT DID YOU DO, PERSEPHONE! I THINK I HAVE SEEN BETHANY DO THIS BEFORE BACK AT ROAD TO REDEMPTION 2019!

Deadprez: SHE HAS A LIGHTER AND JUST SET HER FOOT ON FIRE!

(Adam is slowly getting up…. Bethany runs at him – )

Deadprez: TJD WITH THE FLAMING BOOT AND SHE JUST EXPLODED ADAM’S FACE WITH FIRE AS HE FALLS! WE CAN’T BELIEVE IT! LOOK AT HER FACE!

(Bethany screams in a horrible screech as the fans start to boo.)

Crowd: FUCK YOU BETHANY!!!! FUCK YOU BETHANY!!!! FUCK YOU BETHANY!!!!

(She looks out into the crowd and smiles before stomping the fire from her boot. She then raises her arm up and wiggles her fingers before reaching down and taking out the glove.)

Persephone: YES! DOCTOR BETHANY BLUE IS TAKING OUT THE GLOVE AND SHE HOLDS HER HAND UP IN MID AIR! BETHANY IS PUTTING IT ON AS THAT MARKS THE “SAY AHHHHH!”!

Gavin Kirkland: Wait…. WAIT A SECOND! LOOK CLOSELY AT THAT GLOVE! SHAS HUGE SYRINGE NEEDS AT THE END OF THEM! IF SHE STICKS THAT IN HIS MOUTH SHE WILL RIP IT APART!

Deadprez: NAH DOG! THIS IS SICK AND TWISTED! BETHANY SEES ADAM DOWN. SHE DROPS HIM, HOOKS HIS ARMS ON THE RINGS OF SATURN…… SHE IS PUTTING THAT HAND IN HIS MOUTH! NOOOOO!

(The entire stadium is on their feet as Bethany twiddles her hands and goes to drive her hand into the mouth of Adam Lucas as he tries to fight back.)

Gavin Kirkland: ADAM LUCAS IS HOLDING HIS MOUTH CLOSED…. BUT BETHANY IS NOW PIERCING HIS FACE WITH THOSE NEEDLES TO TRY AND GET HIM TO OPEN IT! YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME! SHE IS PUNCTURING HOLES IN HIS FACE BUT ADAM IS HANGING ON FOR EVERYTHING THAT HE HAS LEFT!

Deadprez: HIS PUNCTURES ARE BLEEDING! BUT THAT IS NOT STOPPING BETHANY! SHHE WANTS TO DRIVE THAT THOSE NEEDLES IN HIS FACE! AND GET THAT HAND IN HIS MOUTH… BUT…. WAIT!

Persephone: OH, YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!

(Adam starts to get to his knees, the crowd roars and erupts as he then gets to his feet and Bethany has not stopped hanging on.)

Deadprez: ADAM LUCAS USED ALL OF HIS STRENGTH, THE BLOOD POURING DOWN HIS FACE! HE IS USING EVERYTHING THAT HE HAS AS BETHANY SCREAMS AND HE TURNS HER….

Crowd: THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: HE IS USING HIS STRENGTH TO ADJUST AND HOIST HER UP AND LOOK AT THE FRIGHT ON THE FACE OF BETHANY AS HE STANDS OVER THE DEFIBRILLATOR THAT IS STILL CHARGING AND –

Persephone: LEVEL UP ON THE DEFIBRILLATOR!!!! HE JUST KILLED MY GIRL! NOOOOOOOO!

Deadprez: HE JUST BROKE HER BACK AND THIS ONE IS OVER!!!!!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: ADAM DROPS AND HOOKS THE LEG! THIS ONE IS OVER!!!!

Persephone: BETHANY GOT THE SHOULDER UP! I DON’T KNOW HOW SHE DID IT! BUT SHE GOT THE SHOULDER UP AND ADAM IS LOST FOR WORDS! BETHANY SOMEHOW WAS ABLE TO GET HER SHOULDER UP AND HE CANNOT BELIEVE IT!

Crowd: ADAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ADAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ADAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ADAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Deadprez: WHAT DOES HE HAVE TRO DO TO KILL HIS WIFE!? WAIT…. THAT DIDN’T SOUND RIGHT.

Persephone: NO, IT DIDN’T… JAKE SMITH!

Deadprez: NOW HOLD ON’ A DAMN MINUTE NOW…. WAIT! ADAM HAS SHIFTED, HE HAS TAKEN HIS BARELY CONSCIOUS WIFE, AND LOCKED IN HIS MENTOR, ORLANDO CRUZE’S FINISHER… THE ICONIC! THJE TRIANGLE CHOKE AND THIS ONE IS OVER!

Persephone: HE LOVES TO CHOKE HIS WIFE A LITTLE TOO MUCH, THIS IS A DISCOVERY ID FUTURE EPISODE!

Gavin Kirkland: SHE IS ALREADY GOING LIMP! SHE BARELY HAD ANYTHING LEFT BEFORE IT AND THE REFEREE CHECKS HER ARM AND LIFTS IT, IT DROPS HE IS GOING TO RING THE BELL!

(Adam screams and lets go of the triangle choke, he gets up holding the back of his leg before the referee could ring the bell, suddenly the back thigh of Adam’s is bleeding with punctures.)

Deadprez: DR. BETHANY BLUE WAS STABBING ADAM WITH THAT GLOVE WHILE HE HAD THE ICONIC APPLIED! HE HAD TO LET GO AND DR. BETHANY BLUE STILL HAS LIFE IN HER, SHE SLOWLY STANDS AS ADAM IS UP CHECKING THE BACK OF HIS LEG!

Persephone: She is reaching into her tights and….. OH YES!

Gavin Kirkland: IT’S THE DAMN SYRINGE! AND IT IS PROBABLY FULL OF SUX!

Persephone: NO, YOU SUX! BUT YES! BETHANY HAS THE SYRINGE AND SHE POPS THE CAP OFF! SHE WAITS AS ADAM TURNS AROUND AND –

(STICK!)

Deadprez: NO! ADAM BLOCKED HER ARM AND CAUSED IT TO FALL TO THE MAT!

Persephone: BETHANY TRIES TO GET IT BUT ADAM GERMAN RELEASE SUPLEXESZ HER OUT OF THE RING ALMOST! SHE ROLLS TO THE OUTSIDE! TRYING TO SCRAMBLE BACK TO HER FEET, BUT HE SLIDES OUT AND SHE STARTS TO MAKE HER WAY UP THE RAMP! ADAM IS IN PURSUIT!

(Bethany screams at her orderlies to refrain Adam, one by one Adam fights them off.)

Dr. Bethany Blue” (Off Mic) STOP HIM!

Deadprez: ADAM LUCAS IS FIGHTING ORDERLES! HE IS PUNCHING AND KICKING THEM! HE JUST BACKDROPPED ONE THEM ON THE STEEL RAMPWAY! BETHANY HAS FINALLY GOTTEN TO THE CORONER’S VAN AT THE TOP OF THE STAGE AND ADAM IS RIGHT THERE!

(BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Persephone: What the hell is that?

Gavin Kirkland: Not that it makes any difference, but the Defibrillator is ready.

(At the top of the ramp, Bethany tries to claw Adam with the glove, but he locks up her hand and rips the glove off as the fans cheer, he hoists her up over her shoulder.)

Deadprez: ADAM LUCAS JUST LAWN DARTED HIS WIFE HEADFIRST INTO THE SIDE OF THE CORONER’S VAN! BETHANY IS OUT OF IT AND NOW ADAM IS GOING TO THE BACK OF THE VAN…. HE IS GRABBING……

Crowd: THIS IS AWESOME!!!!! THIS IS AWESOME!!!!! THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: HE HAS A DAMN BODY BAG! HE GRABS AND WHIPS BETHANY WITH IT!

(WHIP!!!!)

(WHIP!!!!)

Deadprez: HE IS WHIPPING THE HIDE OFF DR. BETHANY BLUE! AND SLAMS IT ON THE GROUND! HE ROLLS BETHANY IN IT AND HE IS ABOUT TO ZIP IT UP –

Gavin Kirkland: BETHANY STUCK HER RED NAILS IN HIS EYES AND RAKED THEM! ADAM IS BLINDED TEMPORARILY AND BETHANY GETS OUT OF THE BODY BAG! SHE GRABS ADAM AND –

Persephone: NOOOO! HE REVERSES AND SLAMS BETHANY INTO THE SIDE OF THE TRUCK!

(SLAM!!!)

Persephone: HE SLAMMED HER HEAD TWO MORE TIMES AND NOW HE THROWS HER INTO THE BACK OF THE TRUCK! ADAM LUCAS IS GETTING IN THE DRIVER’S SEAT! WHAT THE HELL IS HE DOING!

(Adam puts the coroners truck in reverse and he slowly backs it up to the ring as the fans cheer.)

Crowd: ADAM!!!!! ADAM!!!!!! ADAM!!!!!! ADAM!!!!!!! ADAM!!!!!!

Deadprez: HE HAS LOST HIS MIND TOO! HE HITS THE BREAKS!

Gavin Kirkland: BETHANY FLEW OUT FROM THE BACK AND HIT THE SIDE OF THE RING! ADAM IS GETTING OUT AND HE ROLLS BETHANY BACK INTO THE RING! ADAM IS RIGHT BEHIND HER AND HE GETS HER BACK TO HER FEET…..

Adam Lucas: (Off Mic) You made me do this Beth…..

(A bloody and beaten Dr. Bethany Blue smiles)

Dr. Bethany Blue: I… am….. sorry…. To ….. Adam.

(Adam sighs – )

Deadprez: ADAM GOES TO PICK UP BETHANY FOR ANOTHER LEVEL UP –

Persephone: NO! BETHANY KICKED ADAM RIGHT BETWEEN THE LEGS AND HE JUST CRUMBED LETTING HER GO! BETHANY CAN HEAR IT!

(BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPPPPPP!!!!)

Persephone: SHE GRABS THE DEFIBRILLATOR! SHE HAS IT CHARGED UP AND TURNS TO ADAM –

(STICK!)

Persephone: NOOOOOOO!

Gavin Kirkland: ADAM LUCAS JUST STUCK THE SYRINGE FULL OF SUX OR WHATEVER IT IS IN THE NECK OF DR. BETHANY BLUE AND SHE HAS FROZE!

(The arena has gone silent at the view of Adam with the syringe stuck in the neck of Dr. Bethany Blue. Her eyes widened, frozen in her tracks.)

Gavin Kirkland: WAIT! He hasn’t injected her yet! His thumb is on the press, and he is just staring at her.

Adam Lucas: (Off Mic) It didn’t have to come to this Beth.

(Bethany stands there for a second as tears start to stream down her face through the blood.)

Dr. Bethany Blue: (Off Mic) This is who I knew you could be. You did it to me in this match…. Now go do it to all of them in the EAW!

(Adam realized how true her words were. Tonight he turned into the monster that she knew he could be in the ring, but he did it to his own wife. He hesitates as the crowd starts to chant.)

Crowd: DO IT!!! DO IT!!!! DO IT!!!!!

Persephone: Go ahead! Do it you pussy!

Deadprez: Now he has to finish her! Adam Lucas is heisting when all he has to do is press that lever and it is the end of this match!

Gavin Kirkland: Just do it Adam and end this massacre!

(Adam though hesitates, as Bethany looks right at him.)

Dr. Bethany Blue: (Off Mic) Do it…. And become what I knew you were!

(Adam lowers his head, now his morality is starting to sink in, what he was taught by his peers, by Orlando Cruze, what he has become and looking at the damage to the woman he married, what more could he do. He has to finish it.)

Dr. Bethany Blue: (Off Mic) FUCKING DO IT!

Adam Lucas: (Off Mic) Beth… I know you are in there, stop this.

Dr. Bethany Blue:(Off Mic) I…. I can’t.

Adam Lucas: (Off Mic) Yes you can…. This ENDS NOW!

Dr. Bethany Blue: (Off Mic) Then do it!

(And as he stands there ready to press the syringe, he just can’t bring himself to it, Instead Adam takes the needle out of her neck and throws it out of the ring, the fans began to boo,)

Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Dr. Bethany Blue: (Off Mic) You see that Adam, they boo you for not wanting to end me.

Adam Lucas: (Off Mic) I know. Let’s go home. This is over.

(Bethany lowers her head and nods.)

Dr. Bethany Blue: (Off Mic) You’re right, iti is over.

Adam Lucas: (Off Mic) Good. I love you Beth.

Dr. Bethany Blue: (Off Mic) I love you too Adam. But before we go, I need to tell you something.

(She raises her head with tears streaming down her face.)

Adam Lucas:: (Off Mic) What is it my wife?

Dr. Bethany Blue: (Off Mic)Our love is eternal Until Death do us part, but….

Adam Lucas: (Off Mic) But what?

Dr. Bethany Blue: (Off Mic) You should have injected me.

(BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!!!)

(Adam’s eyes widen at the sound and then he slowly shuts them because he knows what’s next,)

***BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ***

Deadprez: DR. BETHANY BLUE JUST PLANTED THE DEFIBRILLATOR PADS ON ADAM LUCAS SENDING THE SHOCKS THROUGH HIS BODY AND SHE TOOK TAKES THEM AS THEY BOTH COLLAPSE ON THE FLOOR!

Gavin Kirkland: WE JUST HAD A MURDER SUICIDE!

Persephone: NO! BETHANY HAS FALLEN ON TOP OF ADAM LUCAS!

ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(DING!!!!!! DING!!!!!! DING!!!!!)

Bella Braxton: HERE IS YOUR WINNER…… DR. BETHANY BLUE!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Bethany lies a bloody mess next to Adam Lucas with only her arm over his chest but she is not moving, Adam is not moving. “Somebody Get Me A Doctor” starts to play throughout the arena as the fans boo but are more concerned about the health of the competitors in the ring, but more Adam Lucas.)

Deadprez: I… I AM AT A LOSS FOR WORDS RIGHT NOW! THAT THEME SAYS IT ALL… SOMEBODY GET THEM A DOCTOR!

(Medical staff rushes the ring to check on both of them.)

Gavin Kirkland: I… I CANNOT BELIEVE WHAT WE SAW HERE TONIGHT! I WILL STAY SINGLE THE REST OF MY LIFE!

Persephone: This is so romantic…. Dr. Bethany Blue killed Adam Lucas to avoid a nasty divorce and take all hist shit.

Gavin Kirkland: You are evil!

Deadprez: What we saw here was a WAR! I don’t think either one of them will be the same after this, and what they did to each other, what Adam Lucas became, but his hesitation at the end to end Bethany made the difference! He loved his wife too much to hurt her.,.. wait… what is going on in the ring –

(As the Medical staff are trying to check on Bethany and Adam, somehow Bethany has the strength and where of all to push them back.)

Dr. Bethany Blue: (Off-Mic) GET AWAY FROM HIM!

(She has completely lost her mind pushing everyone from Adam as she covers him up screaming.)

Dr. Bethany Blue: (Off Mic) I SAID GET FUCKING AWAY FROM HIM!

(The medical staff cannot get to him because she will not let them. Adam is slowly moving, but barely as Bethany’s medical staff that came out in her entrance earlier run out with a gurney but this ONE OF THE CADAVERS SIT UP AND TAKES THE SHEET OFF! THEY GET OUT AND LEAD THE CHARGE)

Deadprez: WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE!?

Gavin Kirkland: WAIT….. IS THAT…..

https://media1.tenor.com/m/Cpg-BQxD9hIAAAAd/kamille-brickhouse.gif

Gavin Kirkland: NURSE GOLDSTEIN IS BACK!

(Bethany’s Medical staff come in with Nurse Goldstein who spears a paramedic! The rest start attacking the EAW Medical staff.)

Persephone: :mjcry: THIS IS CINEMA!

Deadprez: STOP THIS! THEY NEED HELP!

(After Bethany’s Medical Staff and the tall, hulking Nurse Goldstein is decimating everyone in the ring! After the slaughter, she grabs Adam and carries him over her shoulder on the gurney, the medical staff roll him out quickly into the back of the van where they close it and drive off, Goldstein then reaches in and helps Bethany roll out of the ring, she hoists the barely conscious Doctor in her arms and starts carrying her to the back.

Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! FUCK YOU BETHANY! FUCK YOU BETHANY!!!! FUCK YOU BETHANY!!!!!

Deadprez: NURSE GOLDSTEIN IS BACK! WE HAVE NOT SEEN HER SINCE 2021! SHE LOOKS BIGGER THAN EVER BEFORE, AND WHERE IS BETHANY TAKING ADAM!? THIS WOMAN HAS LOST HER DAMN MIND!

Gavin Kirkland: Like this crowd, we are stunned!

Persephone: THIS IS LOVE! :heart_eyes: :heart_eyes: :heart_eyes: I hope Luis protects me like that!

Deadprez: I… I… WHERE IS SHE GOING WITH ADAM!?

(The last scene is the Camping World Stadium booing at the top of their lungs as Bethany rests her head on the chest of Nurse Goldstein who is carrying her to the back in her arms, a wicked and sinister smile comes across the bloody face of the Doctor as it fades.)

(The graphic for the next match appears)

(https://imgur.com/iRnII6f)

(The camera cuts to Stephie Love in the ring.)

Stephie Love: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR… ONE FALL!!

Crowd: ONE FALL!!

(The lights would soon dim, all barring numerous gold spotlights swimming around the stadium, void of the stage itself. The camera would pan to an orchestra on the stage, smoke seeping through the corners of the entrance way alongside the stage and ramp itself. The orchestra would begin to play a rendition of ‘On The Precipice’ by Shiro Sagisu, spanning numerous camera angles, the full two interrupted minutes of the song. Eventually, as it comes to a close, the stadium would be left in absolute silence for a split moment…)

(And then… ‘Number One’ by Shirō Sagisu & Hazel Fernandes floods through the speaker system, the entire crowd going ballistic.)

(Limmy Monaghan enters sporting a black-and-navy blue Steampunk Victorian tailcoat over his shoulders, his arms not through the sleeves, with a golden royal embroidery pattern all over said jacket, the same going for his tights, kneepads, and kickpads – all following the same colour pattern. Alongside the royal embroidery pattern is the symbol of an Ace, a crown resting atop it, sprinkled through each part of his attire. Atop his head rests The Jagged Crown from The Elder Scrolls series, each horn sporting an etching of every Championship and accolade Limmy has picked up throughout his career, ranging from World Championships, Singles Championships, Tag Team Championships, three crowns to signify his Triple Crown achievement, two rings and a cage to signify his War Games accolade, the pod of an Elimination Chamber, among much more.)

Stephie Love: Introducing first! Residing out of Golden Beach, Florida, weighing in at 227 pounds…HE IS THE CZAR…LIMMY MONAGHAN!!

Jake Mercer: What an entrance!

Stew-O: If there’s any night to go all out, it’s tonight!

Flannery McCoy: Indeed, because the whole world is watching! Especially for this match. Cy Henderson versus Limmy Monaghan.

Stew-O: This all started after Cy would make the save at Fighting Spirit, or so we thought, having left Limmy laying.

Flannery McCoy: Since then, Cy’s started a change in approach, believing the old one got him nowhere.

Stew-O: Could that change in approach lead Cy to a victory over Limmy tonight?

Jake Mercer: That’s easier said than done. Last Pain for Pride, Limmy was defending his World Championship against Myles. Prior to that, he defeated Terry Chambers, sending the former World Champion. Don’t be surprised if he adds to that growing list of Pain for Pride moments.

(Limmy paces back-and-forth in the ring, awaiting the arrival of Cy Henderson. Though, he doesn’t have to wait long before “Tupac Back” by Meek Mill feat. Rick Ross blares throughout the arena. With this, the crowd’s reaction shifts from positive to negative, being firmly in the corner of Monaghan. Cy makes his way onto the stage, and looks around the arena, viewing the packed Stadium before marching down to the ring, paying no mind to the fans in attendance booing him.)

Stephie Love: And his opponent! Hailing out of New York City, New York, weighing in at 240 pounds…HE IS THE JUSTICE SEEKER…CY HENDERSON!!

Stew-O: Talk about a contrast. Cy’s avoided going the flashier route, and instead, has opted to just march straight to the ring.

Flannery McCoy: You can see the focus in Henderson’s eyes. He’s determined to pick up this win over Limmy, and I’d say he’s willing to take drastic measures.

Jake Mercer: Last week, we saw him give Limmy a low blow, so I do agree with you in that aspect. This is a very different Cy Henderson.

(Cy slides in the ring, and stands face-to-face with Limmy before striking his pose to the hardcam. “Tupac Back” by Meek Mill feat. Rick Ross fades in the background, and both men enter their respective corners, not taking their eyes off each other.)

(DING! DING! DING!)

Stew-O: The bell has rung, but neither man has left their corner, taking this time to truly soak in the atmosphere, which surrounds them. Pain for Pride 17, the biggest show of the year, and a packed Camping World Stadium! Each fan in attendance is on their feet, making some noise right now.

Flannery McCoy: Anticipation has been building for weeks. Cy Henderson versus Limmy Monaghan, and we’re finally getting it!

Jake Mercer: I may need a new dress shirt! I’m sweating through my current one! I mean, it’s finally happening! Cy Henderson versus Limmy! I’m gonna- I’m gonna- I’m gonna hyperventilate or something! My god! I can’t look! Wait! Yes, I can! 🫣

Flannery McCoy: :roman: If you need to step away, I totally get it…I guess?

Jake Mercer: And miss Limmy in action?! No way! I’m fine!

Flannery McCoy: You… don’t seem fine.

Jake Mercer: I’m fine! Just focus on the match, will ya… I’ve got a feeling were in for a five star classic! :mjlit: Deltzer’s gonna love this one!

Flannery McCoy: :wow:

Stew-O: Finally, both men exit their respective corners, and circle each other to start things off! Determination in their eyes, staring daggers into one another… both men lock up in the center of the ring! Having closed the distance! A jockey for position takes place, but Cy Henderson gets the upper hand early with a standing side headlock, and wrenches on the hold.

Jake Mercer: Not to discredit Limmy in any way, but in a jockey for position, I’m not sure he can overpower someone like Cy Henderson, who is built like a literal tank. Though, you could make that same statement about Limmy. Look at those boulder shoulders!

Stew-O: :cmon: While I won’t go the route of pointing out Limmy’s supposed “boulder shoulders,” I will say that both competitors might be evenly matched in strength to start things off. Granted, Limmy could be a bit lacking in strength following that attack he received from Cy last week.

Flannery McCoy: Limmy goes to bounce Cy off the ropes to escape, but Cy skids to a seated position on the canvas, dragging Limmy down to all fours, and keeping the hold applied!

Stew-O: Goes to show Cy’s prowess inside the squared circle.

Flannery McCoy: Cy rises back to his feet, bringing Limmy along with him, and Monaghan starts to loosen his grip with repeated forearms to the rib cage! Limmy backs Cy up against the ropes, and shoots him off to escape! DROPDOWN!

Jake Mercer: NO! Cy brings his momentum to a half, and drops into a grounded side headlock on Limmy! Monaghan slowly rises to all fours, then slowly rises back to a vertical base-

Flannery McCoy: But Cy decides to ground Limmy with a standing side headlock takedown! Limmy has an escape plan, however, utilizing those long legs of his, and wrapping Cy in a grounded headscissors! Cy kicks out of it, scrambling back to his feet!

Stew-O: Limmy scrambles back to his as well, and runs RIGHT into another standing side headlock takedown! Limmy tries to escape with that headscissors for a second time, but Cy Henderson has it scouted, moving his head just out of reach, and tightening his hold on Limmy. Currently, he’s attempting to wear Monaghan out early on, as it’ll require Limmy to exert tons of energy to do simple things like power back to his feet, which he’s doing right now.

Jake Mercer: The Czar has returned to his feet, and backs Cy up against the ropes, keeping him pinned there until the referee interjects with a five count, telling Cy Henderson to break the hold before he’s disqualified! Is Cy going to listen, that’s the question.

Referee: ONE! TWO! TH-

Flannery McCoy: Cy slowly releases his hold on Monaghan, putting both hands up, and showing that there’s no contact between them. Limmy slowly separates, but aims to take the free shot with a KNIFE EDGE CHOP TO THE CHEST- NO! CY DUCKS UNDERNEATH, AND LIMMY SPINS RIGHT INTO ANOTHER STANDING SIDE HEADLOCK, BUT BOUNCES CY OFF THE ROPES TO QUICKLY ESCAPE!

Stew-O: OOH! CY REBOUNDS BACK WITH A SHOULDER TACKLE, FLOORING MONAGHAN, WHO FAVORS THE BACK OF HIS NECK SLIGHTLY! CY RUNS OFF THE ROPES BESIDE HIM, BUT LIMMY ROLLS ONTO HIS BELLY, FORCING CY TO LEAP OVER HIM, AND RUN OFF THE ROPES A SECOND TIME! LIMMY POPS TO HIS FEET, AND LEAPFROGS OVER HENDERSON-

Flannery McCoy: HENDERSON HALTS HIS MOMENTUM BEHIND MONAGHAN, AND SHOVES HIM TOWARD THE ROPES! CY DUCKS DOWN AS LIMMY COMES REBOUNDING BACK, NO DOUBT SIGNALING EARLY FOR A BACK BODY DROP- OUTER HEAVEN!

Stew-O: LIMMY HALTS HIS MOMENTUM, HOOKING CY’S ARMS UP FOR THE OUTER HEAVEN- BUT CY BLOCKS THE PEDIGREE, BACK BODY DROPPING LIMMY OVERHEAD!

Jake Mercer: HOWEVER, LIMMY LANDS ON HIS FEET!

Flannery McCoy: LIMMY LANDS ON HIS FEET, AND BOTH COMPETITORS SPIN AROUND, EACH THOUGHT ABOUT THROWING RIGHT HANDS, BUT WIND UP THINKING TWICE ON IT!

Stew-O: AND WEVE FOUND OURSELVES AT A STALEMATE EARLY ON, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!

(Both competitors don’t take their eyes off another as Limmy has his right hand cocked back, and Cy has his right hand cocked back as well, having wanted to throw a right, but thought against it last minute. The crowd reaction starts to rise again, once seeing these two in a stalemate. Of course, the crowd liking what they see thus far.)

(Both men slowly lower their fist, and Limmy forms a slight smirk on his face, proceeding to get in Cy’s face to gesture that he was so close to connecting with that pedigree.)

Limmy Monaghan: (off-mic) 🤏

(Cy swats Limmy’s hand out of his face, and shoves him back. Limmy returns that same energy, and shoves Cy back as well. Now, Cy forms a grin on his face, finding some amusement in this all, and starts nodding toward Monaghan.)

Jake Mercer: Limmy’s right, he was SO close to connecting with the Outer Heaven!

Stew-O: Once again, Cy has managed to avoid the Outer Heaven, something he’s done over the past couple of weeks as well. First, the security saved him, having dragged Cy out underneath the bottom rope. Next, a low blow saved him when he was about to receive the Outer Heaven through our announce table. Tonight, having enough wherewithal to escape saved him.

Flannery McCoy: Limmy’s gonna have to wear Cy down a bit further if he wants to hit that move. Deep down, I think he knows it too, but the attempt was likely worth a shot. Besides, it got the message across. That’s how easy it can happen!

Stew-O: Both competitors start to circle each other again, reminiscent of the start, and engage in another collar and elbow tie-up! Center of the ring! Jockey for position takes place, but it’s Cy Henderson with the power advantage, backing Limmy up against the ropes, and keeping him there momentarily before deciding to separate as the referee starts his count-

Jake Mercer: CHEAP SHOT! CY HENDERSON WITH A CHEAP SHOT! CMON, REF!

Flannery McCoy: CY WITH A CHEAP SHOT WHILE LIMMY HAD HIS HANDS UP! SCORING WITH A SHOT TO THE RIB CAGE! LIMMY DOUBLES OVER SLIGHTLY AS A RESULT! BUT CY LINES HIM UP FOR ANOTHER OPEN SHOT TO THE RIB CAGE!

Jake Mercer: LIMMY CLUTCHES HIS RIBS IN PAIN BEFORE CY GRABS HOLD OF HIS WRIST, IRISH WHIPPING HIM OFF THE ROPES! CLOTHESLINE ATTEMPT BY HENDERSON- BUT LIMMY DUCKS UNDERNEATH IT! LIMMY RUNS OFF THE ROPES! AND REBOUNDS BACK WITH A HURRICANRANA!

Stew-O: CY ROLLS ONTO HIS BELLY, AND SLITHERS OUT UNDERNEATH THE BOTTOM ROPE, FAVORING HIS BACK! CY’S LEANT FORWARD ON THE APRON, CATCHING HIS BREATH, TRYING TO GET HIS WITS ABOUT HIM AS LIMMY GRABS HOLD OF THE TOP ROPE, AND SLINGSHOTS HIMSELF UP AND OVER TO THE OUTSIDE!

Flannery McCoy: CY SIDE STEPS, AND LIMMY LANDS ON HIS FEET- BUT CY MOVES IN, AND SPIKES HIM WITH A DDT!

Jake Mercer: LIMMY MAY HAVE LANDED ON HIS FEET, BUT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO STAND UPRIGHT, CY MOVED IN FOR THAT DDT! SHOWING HIS VETERAN PROWESS, ABLE TO CAPITALIZE OFF AN OPPORTUNITY OPEN ONLY FOR MERELY A SPLIT SECOND!

Flannery McCoy: LIMMY WRITHES IN PAIN ON THE OUTSIDE, CLUTCHING AT THE BACK OF HIS NECK! WHICH CANNOT BE AT ONE-HUNDRED PERCENT FOLLOWING THAT RISING TIDE HE SUFFERED ON THE OUTSIDE LAST WEEK!

Stew-O: DEFINITELY NOT, AND CY KNOWS IT!

Jake Mercer: It happened right before our eyes! Medics rushed out, and everything as Cy fled the scene. After that Rising Tide on the outside, Limmy was unconscious. He didn’t move a muscle.

Referee: FIVE! SIX!

Flannery McCoy: Referee at the count of six! Cy makes it back to his feet, and rolls in the ring before rolling back out, successfully restarting the referee’s count. Cy sits on the apron. Again, admiring his handiwork before he pulls Limmy back to his feet, AND AGAIN, PLANTS HIM WITH THAT DDT! LIMMY’S HURT! LIMMY’S WRITHING IN PAIN OFF THAT DDT!

(Cy Henderson sits up, and has a proud expression on his face, knowing he’s in the driver’s seat. His demeanor in stark contrast to the audience’s reaction, who are letting him have it in Orlando, Florida.)

Jake Mercer: The Czar isn’t looking good, which is rare for him, but I have full faith that he’ll find his way back into this match up. Someway, somehow! 🤞

Stew-O: Not if a certain someone has anything to say about it. Speaking of, Cy stands Limmy Monaghan up on the outside, and rolls him back inside the ring. Limmy rises to all fours, still favoring the back of his neck, and still, that smug expression hasn’t left Henderson’s face as he stands over a vulnerable Limmy, realizing that he has Monaghan at his mercy.

Flannery McCoy: Cy lifts Limmy up, and proceeds to PLANT him with a SNAP SUPLEX! Cy floats over into the cover!

ONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!

Jake Mercer: KICKOUT!

Flannery McCoy: Limmy still has fight left, that much is evident, managing to kickout of that snap suplex, but Cy’s immediately back on the attack as Limmy sits up, locking Monaghan in a rear chinlock, attempting to squeeze the life out of his opponent.

Stew-O: Limmy’s being slowly picked apart by Henderson. First, with those DDTs to the outside. Now, he’s trapped in that rear chinlock from Cy, who is only serving to further wear Monaghan down, and adding more pressure to the head and neck areas. But the crowd are starting to rally! Florida’s beginning to rally behind Limmy! Wanting to see him fight his way out of this!

Jake Mercer: YES, rally! Limmy! Limmy! Limm-

Stew-O: That… doesn’t include you, partner.

Jake Mercer: Right… 😅

Flannery McCoy: :wow: Limmy Monaghan fuels off that energy, the crowd getting behind him, and uses it to power back to his feet, throwing shots to the rib cage! BUT CY BRINGS LIMMY’S MOMENTUM TO A SCREECHING HALT, DELIVERING A CLUBBING BLOW TO THE BACK OF HIS NECK!

Stew-O: Limmy staggers to the corner, arching his back in severe pain. Cy closes in, almost like a shark that smells blood in the water-

Flannery McCoy: Correction: Cy IS a shark that smells blood in the water, because he is slowly, but surely softening Limmy up for that burning hammer, which’ll only do more damage to that head and neck area.

Stew-O: Really, it’ll put the finishing touches on this thing all together.

Jake Mercer: Cy goes to irish whip Limmy into the opposite corner- BUT LIMMY TURNS IT AROUND AT THE LAST MINUTE, SENDING CY TO THE OPPOSITE CORNER INSTEAD! LIMMY CHARGES IN WITH A FULL HEAD OF STEAM! RUNNING CORNER EUROPEAN UPPERCUT ATTEMPT!

Stew-O: BUT CY! CY MOVES OUT OF THE WAY, AND LIMMY GOES CRASHING BACK FIRST INTO THE CORNER! HIS HEAD WHIPLASHED, NO DOUBT DOING FURTHER DAMAGE TO THAT HEAD AND NECK AS HE STAGGERS OUT THE CORNER! KICK TO THE GUT! CY PULLS HIM INTO A DDT-

Flannery McCoy: BUT LIMMY AVOIDS IT WITH A FALCONS ARROW!

Jake Mercer: HOWEVER, CANT MAKE THE COVER AS HE WRITHES ON THE CANVAS IN PAIN!

Flannery McCoy: CY DID TONS OF DAMAGE TO THAT NECK, AND ITS PAYING OFF FOR HIM HERE AS HIS OPPONENT CANNOT CAPITALIZE, GIVING CY MORE ROOM TO BREATHE, MORE OPPORTUNITY TO RECOVER!

Jake Mercer: LIMMY THOUGHT FAST WITH THAT FALCONS ARROW, BUT IT’LL ALL BE FOR NOTHING IF HES UNABLE TO CAPITALIZE FROM IT!

Stew-O: Cy is beginning to stir, but so is Limmy Monaghan, who crawls over to his opposition. Limmy pulls Cy up from all fours, and back to his feet, then starts to hammer him with MULTIPLE forearms to the face! CY LOOKS A LITTLE GLAZED OVER, AND UNDERSTANDABLY SO! IRISH WHIP OFF THE ROPES BY MONAGHAN- BUT CY COUNTERS AN IRISH WHIP OF HIS OWN, SENDING LIMMY TOWARD THE ROPES INSTEAD!

Flannery McCoy: BUT BIG MISTAKE AS LIMMY SPRINGS OFF THE MIDDLE ROPE! CY TRIES TO RUSH IN- BUT IS TOO LATE AS HE’S CAUGHT WITH A SPRINGBOARD ROUNDHOUSE KICK!

Stew-O: THE KICK CAUGHT CY FLUSH, AND THE HALL OF FAMER LOOKS LIKE HE NOW DOESNT KNOW WHERE HE IS RIGHT NOW! BUT LIMMY MONAGHAN APPEARS TO! LIMMY MONAGHAN KNOWS EXACTLY WHERE HE IS AS HE ROLLS OUT TO THE APRON, PULLING HIMSELF UP WITH ASSISTANCE FROM THE ROPES! CY’S STILL TRYING TO SHAKE THOSE COBWEBS OUT OF HIS HEAD AS HE RISES BACK TO HIS FEET! LIMMY HAS HIM LINED UP FOR…

Jake Mercer: A PHENOMENAL SPRINGBOARD FOREARM FROM LIMMY MONAGHAN CONNECTS! AND LIMMY SCRAMBLES INTO THE COVER, HOOKING THE LEG!

ONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

Flannery McCoy: KICKOUT! BUT WHAT A COMBO BY MONAGHAN THERE! FIRST, THE KICK, THEN THE FOREARM! SOMEHOW, SOMEWAY, LIMMY’S GOTTEN THE MOMENTUM BACK INTO HIS FAVOR, AND NEEDS TO CARRY IT FORWARD!

Stew-O: Limmy rises back to his feet, fired up following that sequence of moves, and brings Cy back to his feet as well, pulling him into position for a POWERBOMB! BUT LIMMY CANT HOIST HIM UP AS CY BLOCKS IT FROM HAPPENING! HOLDING HIS WEIGHT DOWN! CY THEN DRIVES LIMMY BACK FIRST INTO THE CORNER HARD! WE MENTIONED HIM WHIPLASHING EARLIER! WELL, HE MIGHTVE JUST DID IT AGAIN!

Flannery McCoy: CY LIFTS LIMMY ONTO THE TOP ROPE, AND GOES TO SCORE WITH A RIGHT HAND- BUT LIMMY BLOCKS IT WITH A BOOT TO THE FACE! CY STAGGERS AWAY BRIEFLY, AND LIMMY GETS DOWN FROM THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! CY SPINS AROUND TO CHARGE IN-

Stew-O: NO! LIMMY HOISTS CY UP, AND SITS HIM ATOP THE TOP TURNBUCKLE FOR A BIG RIGHT HAND OF HIS OWN! CY IS STUNNED, AND LIMMY CREATES A BIT OF SPACE, EYEING THE ROPES TRIANGLE DROPKICK! CY GOES TUMBLING UP AND OVER THE TOP ROPE, HITTING BACK FIRST ONTO THE APRON HIS WAY DOWN!

Flannery McCoy: CY FALLS TO ALL FOURS AFTER ROLLING OFF THE APRON! AND LIMMY HAS THAT DANGEROUS LOOK IN HIS EYE! HES GESTURING FOR CY HENDERSON TO GET UP! LIMMY IS FIRED UP! PERHAPS THE MOST HES BEEN ALL MATCH! AND RUNS OFF THE ROPES AS CY RETURNS TO HIS FEET! LIMMY SHOOTS OFF THE ROPES, BUILDING MOMENTUM FOR A…

Jake Mercer: TOPE CON HILO!!! :damn: :damn: :damn:

Stew-O: A BEAUTIFUL TOPE CON HILO BY MONAGHAN, WHO IS GRITTING THROUGH ANY AND ALL PAIN HE MAY BE FEELING RIGHT NOW! LIMMY RUSHES BACK TO HIS FEET, AND TRIES TO PULL CY UP- HOWEVER, CY IS MAKING THAT DIFFICULT AS HES 240 POUNDS OF DEAD WEIGHT!

Flannery McCoy: FINALLY, LIMMY GETS CY UP TO A KNEE- BUT CY MIGHTA BEEN PLAYING POSSUM AS HE EXPLODES WITH A RISING TIDE ATTEMPT! CY’S TRYING TO HIT THAT RISING TIDE ON THE OUTSIDE, BUT LIMMY SLIPS OFF HIS SHOULDERS, AND CY SPINS AROUND- LIMMY SPRINGS OFF THE BARRICADE, AND CRASHES DOWN ONTO HENDERSON WITH A MOONSAULT PRESS!

Jake Mercer: Limmy rises to a knee, a look of intensity! A look of determination in his eyes! Cy tried to play possum, but that didn’t work, and the ball STILL bounced back into Limmy Monaghan’s court!

Stew-O: Limmy grabs hold of Henderson, and rolls him back into the ring for a COVER! COULD THIS BE IT?!

ONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

Stew-O: KICKOUT! CY HENDERSON KICKS OUT, AND WITH AUTHORITY!

Flannery McCoy: Cy Henderson kicks out, and sits up off the canvas- BUT GETS BLASTED IN THE BACK WITH A PENALTY KICK FROM LIMMY! Cy arches his back in pain, and Limmy tacks on a rear chinlock to follow that up, digging his knee in between the shoulders blade! Limmy is pulling that head of Henderson BACK!

Stew-O: But those same fans there to rally behind Limmy earlier aren’t exactly rallying behind Cy in this moment.

Jake Mercer: I mean, some feel as if Cy deserves this, and every bit of punishment thst comes his way. Myself included. :mjpls: …seriously, why? Why did he have to attack Limmy??? Why??? :kellycry:

Stew-O: :francis:

Flannery McCoy: :kyrie: Our weirdo broadcast partner aside, Cy starts powering back to his feet, and quickly breaks Limmy’s grip with a SHOT to the rib cage! Limmy staggers slightly, but battles back with a FOREARM! Cy is on wobbly legs following that, and Limmy goes to irish whip him toward the ropes!

Stew-O: NO! CY HENDERSON REVERSES, SENDING LIMMY TOWARD THE ROPES INSTEAD! AND LIMMY GETS NEARLY LAUNCHED HIGH INTO THE STRATOSPHERE WITH A BACK BODY DROP!

Flannery McCoy: CY STAGGERS TOWARD THE ROPES, AND LEANS UP AGAINST THEM, ATTEMPTING TO CATCH HIS BREATH, POSSIBLY USE THIS TIME TO RECOVER! LIMMY BEGINS TO STIR, CLUTCHING AT HIS BACK, AND CY APPROACHES!

Stew-O: CY LIFTS LIMMY BACK TO HIS FEET, BUT LIMMY EXPLODES! SWINGING WILDLY- HOWEVER, CY COUNTERS INTO A CROSSFACE! CROSSFACE SUBMISSION HOLD APPLIED! CY PULLS BACK FAR AS HE CAN, DEALING MORE DAMAGE TO THE HEAD AND NECK!

Jake Mercer: BUT LUCKILY, LIMMY HAS A SOLUTION, ROLLING ONTO HIS BACK, AND CY QUICKLY RELEASES THE HOLD! BOTH COMPETITORS SCRAMBLE BACK TO THEIR FEET-

Flannery McCoy: LIMMY RUSHES IN- BUT CY CATCHES HIM WITH A DROP TOE HOLD! DROP TOE HOLD, AND CY TRANSITIONS INTO HIS TRADEMARK STF SUBMISSION HOLD, HAVING DRAGGED LIMMY BACK TO THE CENTER OF THE RING! STF APPLIED! ALSO KNOWN AS THE VOID LOCK! VOID LOCK IS CINCHED IN, AND LIMMY MAY HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO TAP OUT!

Jake Mercer: CENTER OF THE RING, NOWHERE TO GO! I HATE IT TO SAY IT, BUT YOURE RIGHT, FLANNERY! LIMMY MAY HAVE TO TAP HERE!

Stew-O: AND LOOK AT THIS! LIMMY RAISES HIS HAND, POSSIBLY CONTEMPLATING THAT TAP OUT!

Flannery McCoy: BUT… DECIDES IT! LIMMY DECIDES AGAINST IT! STARTING TO SCRATCH AND CLAW HIMSELF TOWARD THE ROPES INSTEAD!

Jake Mercer: I KNEW IT! I KNEW THAT LIMMY’S FIGHTING SPIRIT WOULD SHINE THROUGH! CY HENDERSON STOOD ZERO CHANCE OF MAKING THE CZAR TAP OUT TONIGHT!

Stew-O: LIMMY REFUSES TO GIVE UP THAT EASY, CLAWING HIS WAY TOWARD THE BOTTOM ROPE! PERHAPS FUELING OFF THE FANS, AND THEIR ENERGY ONE MORE TIME TONIGHT!

Flannery McCoy: CY CONTINUES WRENCHING THE HOLD, DESPERATELY TRYING TO PUT LIMMY ASLEEP BEFORE HE COULD REACH THE ROPES!

Stew-O: LIMMY EYES BEGIN TO FLICKER AS HE REACHES OUT FOR THE ROPES, FINGERTIPS AWAY! HES FINGERTIPS CLOSE, BUT IS UNABLE TO GRAB IT!

Flannery McCoy: LIMMY’S FADING, AND LIMMY’S FADING FAST!

Jake Mercer: OH NO!

Stew-O: LIMMY RAISES HIS HAND HIGH BEFORE-

Jake Mercer: YES!

Flannery McCoy: HE GOT IT! LIMMY MADE ONE LAST REACH FOR IT, AND GOT HOLD OF THE BOTTOM ROPE! BUT CY HAS YET TO LET GO OF THE SUBMISSION HOLD!

Stew-O: MEANING: THE REFEREE HAS TO INTERFERE WITH A FIVE COUNT! CY HAS TIL THE COUNT OF FIVE TO RELEASE THE HOLD, OR HES GOING TO BE DISQUALIFIED!

Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FI-

Jake Mercer: FINALLY, CY RELEASES THAT HOLD! GETTING PRIED OFF THAT REFEREE!

Flannery McCoy: But Cy utilized all his time before doing so, inflicting max damage on that submission maneuver. The Void Lock may have not been enough to get the victory, but it’s certainly helped soften Limmy up for it.

Stew-O: Cy rolls away from Monaghan, and starts to contemplate his next move, sitting down in the middle of the ring.

Jake Mercer: Cy appears to be muttering a few words to himself. Though, I’m unsure as to what, but the disbelief is visible, thinking he had Limmy dead to rights, right then and there.

Flannery McCoy: I realize that now can be such a disparaging time for a performer during a match, because it’s back to the drawing board. Void Lock, which is one of the best moves in your arsenal, wasn’t enough to put Limmy away, so what will, and how would one go about getting there has to be coursing through Henderson’s head right now.

Stew-O: Perhaps, but we won’t know as Cy Henderson stands himself up, starting his ascension toward the top rope as he watches Limmy slowly get his wits about him. Slowly, Limmy makes it back to his feet, staggering to the center of the ring, barely able to stand! RIGHT THERE, CY HENDERSON SEES HIS OPPORTUNITY TO STRIKE, AND- OOH! DIVING LEG DROP BULLDOG BY HENDERSON!

Flannery McCoy: IF IT WASNT LIGHTS OUT FOR LIMMY BEFORE, IT MIGHT BE NOW AS CY MOVES INTO THE COVER! SHOOTING THE HALF BEFORE HOOKING HIS OPPONENTS LEG!

ONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

THH-

Flannery McCoy: SHOULDER UP! LIMMY MONAGHAN GOT THE SHOULDER UP!

Stew-O: Cy pounds the mat in anger, starting to show frustration with Limmy’s resilience. Though, Cy looks through playing around as he gestures for the beginning of the end.

Flannery McCoy: Cy stands Limmy, and hoists him up for that BURNING HAMMER! RISING TIDE!

Stew-O: NO! LIMMY SLIPS OUT BEHIND CY, AND ONTO HIS FEET, HAVING HIS OPPONENTS FINISHING MOVE SCOUTED AS WELL! LIMMY GRABS CY IN A REAR WAISTLOCK, PERHAPS LOOKING FOR A GERMAN SUPLEX!

Flannery McCoy: BUT CY BLOCKS THAT ATTEMPT, BACKPEDALING INTO THE CORNER, AND SANDWICHING LIMMY BETWEEN HIMSELF AND THE TURNBUCKLES! LIMMY’S GRIP BREAKS IMMEDIATELY, AND CY EXITS OUT OF THE CORNER BEFORE TURNING ATTENTION BACK OVER TO LIMMY! CY BARRELS IN!

Jake Mercer: OUCH! RUNNING SPLASH IN THE CORNER BY CY! MOVING WITH THE SPEED OF A LOCOMOTIVE!

Stew-O: LIMMY’S BELL LOOKS RUNG BEFORE CY WHIPS HIM TO THE OPPOSITE CORNER, AND SENDS HIM THERE! EVIDENT WHEN LIMMY HITS HARD AS WELL, AND IMMEDIATELY COLLAPSES UPON IMPACT!

Flannrry McCoy: Limmy goes down, and favors the back of his neck, I imagine feeling the whiplash currently. Both his back, and his neck must be in a world of pain at the moment.

Stew-O: Cy rises to a knee, clearly proud of himself before approaching Monaghan on the floor. Reminiscent of earlier, Cy has Limmy at his mercy as he stares down.

Flannery McCoy: Cy starts encouraging for Limmy to get up. Cy wants Limmy up, and Limmy tries to oblige, gritting through the pain he’s in, and powering back to his feet. Limmy rises to a knee, and- OOH! Cy lightly shoves him in the face with his boot, and that seemed to be all the firing up as he needed as Limmy powers back to his feet!

Jake Mercer: That might’ve been a big mistake, because Limmy is FIRED UP! LIMMY! IS! FIRED UP!

Stew-O: LIMMY EXPLODED WITH A BIG FOREARM! CY STRIKES BACK WITH ONE OF HIS OWN! LIMMY SPINS AROUND OFF THE IMPACT, HOLDING HIS JAW IN PAIN, BUT LIMMY SPINS RIGHT BACK AROUND FOR A KNIFE EDGE CHOP!

Flannery McCoy: KNIFE EDGE CHOP TO THE CHEST FROM LIMMY MONAGHAN ECHOES THROUGHOUT THE ARENA!

Stew-O: CY SPINS AROUND BEFORE DOUBLING OVER IN PAIN! LIMMY APPROACHES HENDERSON- BUT WANDERS RIGHT INTO A DISCUS LARIAT! CYCLONE LARIAT TURNS LIMMY INSIDE OUT AS IT HAS WITH MANY OTHERS!

Jake Mercer: BUT LOOK AT THIS! LIMMY IS ALMOST IMMEDIATELY BACK TO HIS FEET, ALBEIT WOBBLY LEGS! CY RETURNS TO HIS FEET- UNDERSTANDABLY IN SHOCK THAT LIMMY IS UP TO HIS AS WELL! THAT IS BEFORE HE GETS BLASTED WITH A RUNNING DIABLE JAMBE! BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE BY LIMMY!

Flannery McCoy: AND BOTH COMPETITORS ARE DOWN! NEITHER MAN ABLE TO CAPITALIZE! CY COLLAPSED DOWN TO THE CANVAS, HUNG UP ON THE BOTTOM ROPE! LIMMY BARELY IS SHOWING SIGNS OF LIFE ON THE CANVAS, BUT STARTS TO POKE HIS HEAD UP SLIGHTLY, REALIZING WHERE CY IS!

Stew-O: I think a lightbulb just went off in Monaghan’s head as he rises to all fours, and crawls over to Henderson, climbing out through the bottom rope, onto the apron. Limmy pulls Cy through the bottom rope, and onto the apron as well, having big plans in mind!

Flannery McCoy; Limmy pulls Cy into position for a powerbomb, maybe even a STYLES CLASH AS HE STARTS TRYING TO HOISTS CY UP! HOWEVER, CY COUNTERS WITH A BACK BODY DROP!

Stew-O: LIMMY LANDS SPINE FIRST ONTO THE APRON, BUT REMAINS ON IT AS PAIN IS ETCHED ACROSS HIS FACE! NOW, CY PULLS LIMMY UP ON THE APRON, AND CY HOISTS HIM UP FOR THE PHANTOM DEATH! MICHINOKU DRIVER ON THAT APRON!

Flannery McCoy: BUT LIMMY SLIPS OUT BEHIND HIM! CY SPINS AROUND, AND GETS CAUGHT ON THE SIDE OF HIS HEAD WITH A ROPE-ASSISTED ENZIGURI! CY IS STUNNED ON THE APRON, HANGING ON BY A THREAD AS HE HAS HOLD OF THE TOP ROPE, AND LIMMY EXPLODES WITH AN APRON JUMPING BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE! DIABLE JAMBE CONNECTS AGAIN! BOTH COMPETITORS GO SPILLING OFF THE APRON!

Stew-O: HIGH RISK, HIGH REWARD FOR LIMMY THERE, POSSIBLY HAVING JACKED THE JAW OF HIS OPPONENT! BUT BOTH COMPETITORS CANNOT FORGET ABOUT THE REFEREES TEN COUNT AS HE BEGINS COUNTING! FOR AS EXCITING AS THIS MATCH HAS BEEN, NO ONE WANTS TO SEE IT END IN A COUNT OUT!

Flannery McCoy: I DONT THINK THE COMPETITORS THEMSELVES WANT IT TO END IN A COUNTOUT!

Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! SIX! SEVEN!

Jake Mercer: BOTH LIMMY AND CY HAVE MANAGED TO CRAWL TOWARDS THE RINH, AND PULL THEMSELVES UP TO A VERTICAL BASE WITH ASSISTANCE FROM THE APRON! BOTH MEN LOCK EYES MOMENTARILY, VISIBLY EXHAUSTED!

Referee: EIGHT!

Flannery McCoy: LIMMY ROLLS BACK IN AT EIGHT!

Referee: NINE! TE-

Flannery McCoy: CY HENDERSON BEATS THE COUNT BEFORE TEN, SLOWLY ROLLING BACK INTO THE RING HIMSELF! BUT LIMMY GRABS BOTH HIS WRIST, PULLING CY UP FOR A DOUBLE WRISTLOCK KNEE STRIKE! CY TIMBERS OVER TO THE CANVAS, AND LIMMY SCRAMBLES INTO THE COVER! HOOKING THE LEG!

ONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

THHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRREEEEE-

Stew-O: ALMOST! BUT CY GETS THE SHOULDER UP’

Jake Mercer: IM SURPRISED HES NOT KNOCKED OUT WITH HOW MANY KNEES LIMMY HAS CONNECTED WITH! CY MIGHT HAVE MORE CTE AT THIS POINT THAN XANDER PAYNE!

Stew-O: BUT BARELY AFFECTED BY THAT KICKOUT, LIMMY QUICKLY ROLLS OUT TO THE APRON, AND PULLS HIMSELF UP WITH ASSISTANCE FROM THE ROPES! LIMMY CLIMBS TO THE TOP, AND LINES CY UP AS HE SLOWLY RISES UP TO BOTH KNEES! LIMMY PERCHES HIMSELF ON THE TOP, LEAPING OFF WITH A MISSILE DROPKICK TO THE BACK OF HENDERSON’S NECK!

Flannery McCoy: CY STRUGGLES UP TO ALL FOURS, BUT USES THE ROPES FOR ASSISTANCE IN GETTING HIM TO A KNEE! LIMMY SEES A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY, AND RUNS OFF THE OPPOSITE SET OF ROPES TO DELIVER A THIRD BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE, HITTING THE SIDE OF HENDERSON’S HEAD! DIABLE JAMBE CONNECTS, AND LIMMY THROWS HENDERSON BACK DOWN FOR A COVER, HOOKING BOTH LEGS!

ONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

THHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEE-

Jake Mercer: WHAT?!

Stew-O: THATS WHAT WERE ALL THINKIN AS CY HENDERSON’S MANAGED TO KICKOUT OF A THIRD DIABLE JAMBE KNEE STRIKE!

(Limmy lies prone on the canvas, pulling his hair back, starting to show shock and frustration as well.)

Flannery McCoy: I CANT BELIEVE IT! THE FANS CANT BELIEVE IT! LIMMY CANT EVEN BELIEVE THAT CY HENDERSON STILL HAS ENOUGH WHEREWITHAL TO KICKOUT OF THAT MANY KNEE STRIKES!

Stew-O: BUT LOOK AT THIS! LIMMY REFOCUSED HIMSELF ONCE NOTICING THAT CY HENDERSON WAS PULLING HIMSELF BACK UP WITH ASSISTANCE FROM THE ROPES, AND RISES BACK TO HIS FEET! LIMMY GESTURES FOR CY TO GET UP! ONCE HE DOES, CY TURNS AROUND-

Flannery McCoy: ROUNDHOUSE KICK! LIMMY CATCHES HIM WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK, AND CY DOUBLES OVER AS A RESULT! BARELY ABLE TO STAND! LIMMY PULLS CY INTO POSITION FOR THE OUTER HEAVEN! HOOKING BOTH ARMS IN THE CENTER OF THE RING! LIMMY’S BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS MOVE ALL MATCH! COULD THIS BE IT?!

Stew-O: NO! BECAUSE CY TWIRLS OUT OF IT, AND DUCKS UNDERNEATH A CLOTHESLINE ATTEMPT FROM LIMMY! CY RUNS OFF THE ROPES, LIMMY SPINS AROUND- CALAMITY! CY WITH THE CALAMITY! SPEAR CONNECTS!

Jake Mercer: ITS NO HUNGER ON HILLSIDE, BUT ITS A DEVESTATING SPEAR REGARDLESS, AND LIMMY MIGHT BE OUT!

Flannery McCoy: BUT- BUT CY ISNT GOING FOR THE COVER! NO, INSTEAD, OPTING TO ROLL AWAY FROM MONAGHAN, AND PULLING HIMSELF UP IN THE CORNER!

Stew-O: CY DIDNT GET ALL OF THAT FIRST SPEAR, AND KNOWS THAT IT WONT BE ENOUGH TO PUT AWAY LIMMY!

Flannery McCoy: HENDERSON WANTS TO BE SURE ITS OVER! THEREFORE, IS LINING UP LIMMY FOR A SECOND SPEAR! TELLING HIM TO GET UP! A DETERMINED LOOK IN HIS EYES! INTENSITY LIKE WEVE NEVER SEEN IT FROM HENDERSON THROUGHOUT THIS MATCH!

Stew-O: CY IS CLOSING IN ON VICTORY! AND IMAGINE THE MOMENTUM HE’LL BE HEADING INTO NEXT SEASON WITH! NOT ONLY HAVING TO DEFEATED JAKE SMITH, BUT LIMMY MONAGHAN AS WELL! THIS COULD BE WHAT CY HENDERSON IS LOOKING FOR! WHAT VALIDATES THIS NEWFOUND ATTITUDE OF HIS!

Jake Mercer: WHOA! SLOW YOUR ROLL HERE, PARTNER! ITS NOT OVER UNTIL THE BELL RINGS! DONT COUNT THE CZAR OUT YET!

Stew-O: TRUE, BUT RIGHT NOW, IT ISNT LOOKING GOOD AS LIMMY STRUGGLES BACK TO HIS FEET! CY SHOOTS OUT OF THE CORNER! …CALAMITY!

Flannery McCoy: NO! LIMMY SIDESTEPPED! CY ALMOST GOES COLLIDING FACE FIRST WITH THE MIDDLE TURNBUCKLE, BUT STOPS HIS MOMENTUM AT THE LAST SECOND! CY TURNS AROUND- LIMMY CHARGES IN WITH ANOTHER DIABLE JAMBE!

Stew-O: SIDESTEPPED! BICYCLE KNEE GOT SIDESTEPPED, AND LIMMY HIT KNEE FIRST INTO THE MIDDLE TURNBUCKLE! MONAGHAN STAGGERS BACK, CLUTCHING AT THE KNEE, AND WANDERS INTO A GERMAN SUPLEX! GETTING DUMPED HIGH ON HIS NECK AND SHOULDERS! LIMMY ROLLS THROUGH TO BOTH KNEES, AND CY HENDERSON PULLS HIM UP!

Flannery McCoy: LIMMY GETS HOISTED FOR THE RISING TIDE! BUT MONAGHAN BACKFLIPS OUT THE BURNING HAMMER, LANDING ON HIS FEET! DIABLE JAMBE! ANOTHER BICYCLE KNEE! AND CY CRUMPLES DOWN TO ALL FOURS!! LIMMY STUMBLES BACK INTO THE CORNER, AND HE HAS CY DID TO RIGHTS FOR-

Jake Mercer: DIVINE DEPARTURE!

Stew-O: NO!! LIMMY RAN RIGHT INTO THE PHANTOM DEATH FROM CY! MICHINOKU DRIVER CONNECTS-

Flannery McCoy: WAIT! LIMMY COUNTERS! VICTORY ROLL BY MONAGHAN, WHO ROLLS THROUGH FOR A JUMPING DOUBLE FOOT STOMP TO THE CHEST! LIMMY STAGGERS TO THE CORNER, AND WATCHES AS CY RISES TO A KNEE, HOLDING HIS CHEST IN PAIN! LIMMY RUSHES IN!

Stew-O: DIVINE DEPARTURE! DIVINE DEPERATURE TO THE FACE OF HENDERSON! LIMMY GOT ALL OF THAT SWINGING BACK ELBOW, AND HOOKS THE LEG FOR THE COVER!

ONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

TWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

THHHHHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

Jake Mercer: AND CY HENDERSON KICKS OUT!! YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!

Stew-O: BETWEEN BOTH THAT, AND THE OUTRR HEAVEN, LIMMY’S BEEN LOOKING FOR THOSE MOVES THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE! FINALLY HITS THE DIVINE DEPARTURE, WHICH HAS PUT SO MANY ELITISTS AWAY! BUT STILL, THATS NOT ENOUGH TO KEEP DOWN CY HENDERSON!

Flannery McCoy: REGARDLESS, THATS ONLY SEEMED TO LIGHT MORE FUEL UNDER LIMMY’S FIRE! HES REMAINED FOCUSED, AND IS INSTANTLY BACK TO HIS FEET! LIMMY PULLS CY HENDERSON UP INTO PLACE FOR A STYLES CLASH! LIMMY CONNECTS WITH THE IKOKU SOVEREIGNTY! AND ROLLS CY OVER ONTO HIS SHOULDERS! LOOKING FOR THE COVER! HAVING WASTED NO MOTION BETWEEN THAT AND THE KICKOUT!

ONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

TWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

THHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRREEEEEEE-

Stew-O: ALMOST AS CY HENDERSON MANAGES TO KICK OUT AGAIN! DIVINE DEPERATURE, AND THE IKOKU SOVEREIGNTY BACK TO BACK! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?!

Jake Mercer: HOW MUCH MORE CAN EITHER MAN TAKE IS THE QUESTION?!

Stew-O: BOTH MEN ARE EXTREMELY RESILIENT! CLEARLY! AS THEY ARE SHOWING IT TONIGHT! H BUT YEAH, IM ASKING MYSELF THAT SAME QUESTION! HOW MUCH MORE CAN EITHER OF THESE MEN TAKE?! SOONER OR LATER, SOMETHING WILL HAVE TO GIVE!

Jake Mercer: AND IVE GOT A FEELING ITS SOONER!

(Cy crawls into the corner, and seats himself there. Despite his daze, Cy gestures for Limmy to bring it on. Limmy looked to be in disbelief following that kickout, sitting up in the center, and thinking to himself, but the gesture from Cy seemed to snap him out of it, forcing Limmy to put his game face on, and refocus.)

Flannery McCoy: Well, would you look at that? Cy said for Limmy to bring it on, and based off the expression on Limmy’s face, I think he’s taking Cy up on that offer. Limmy rises to his feet, and backs into the opposite corner, BUILDING MOMENTUM!

Jake Mercer: DIABLE JAMBE! RUNNING BICYCLE KNEE TO A SEATED CY HENDERSON IN THE CORNER!

Stew-O: LIMMY PULLS CY BACK TO HIS FEET, AND BRINGS HIM TO THE CENTER OF THE RING! LIMMY HOOKS CY UP FOR THE OUTER HEAVEN! BUT CY TRIPS LIMMY DOWN TO THE CANVAS, AND HOOKS BOTH LEGS FOR A SLINGSHOT CATAPULT INTO THE CORNER! LIMMY COLLIDES FACE FIRST WITH THE TOP TURNBUCKLE, AND LIMMY STAGGERS OUT OF THE CORNER!

Flannery McCoy: WANDERING RIGHT INTO A PHANTOM DEATH! FINALLY, THE MICHINOKU DRIVER CONNECTS! BUT CY DOESNT END THERE, PULLING LIMMY BACK TO HIS FEET, AND PLANTING HIM WITH THE RISING TIDE! BURNING HAMMER CONNECTS AS CY SHOOTS THE HALF, TURNING LIMMY OVER, SO HE CAN HOOK THE LEG!

ONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

THHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEE!!

Jake Mercer: WHAT?! NO! LIMMY MONAGHAN KICKS OUT!

Stew-O: YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME! EITHER MAN REFUSE TO STAY DOWN!

Flannery McCoy: IRONIC, BECAUSE BOTH MEN ARE DOWN FOLLOWING THAT KICKOUT! THE WEAR AND TEAR IS BEING WORN ON THEIR SLEEVES! BOTH MEN ARE TIRING OUT THE LONGER THIS MATCH GETS!

Stew-O: SO, IT MAKES ME THINK THAT AN END GAME IS IN SIGHT! SOON, ONE OF THESE MEN WILL NO LONGER BE ABLE TO KICKOUT! BUT IT ALL DEPENDS ON TIMING! WHO WILL HIT THEIR BIG MOVE FIRST!

Flannery McCoy: CURRENTLY, ITS ALL ABOUT WHO WILL MAKE IT BACK TO THEIR FEET FIRST! WILL IT BE CY, OR WILL IT BE LIMMY! THATS WHOSE GOING THE ADVANTAGE OVER THE OTHER, AND HAVE THAT REAL OPPORTUNITY TO CAPITALIZE!

Stew-O: CY MAKES IT UP TO ALL FOURS! CRAWLING OVER TO LIMMY, AND PULLS HIM UP TO BOTH KNEES! LIMMY COMES OUT OF NOWHERE WITH A STIFF FOREARM! THAT CAUGHT CY FLUSH, WHO FALLS BACK TO ALL FOURS! CY IS HUFFING AIR AT THE MOMENT, BUT CY BATTLES BACK WITH A FOREARM OF HIS OWN!

Flannery McCoy: LIMMY DROPS TO ALL FOURS BRIEFLY, BUT STARTS TO FIRE UP, AND FIRES BACK WITH A FOREARM AS WELL! BIG FOREARM FROM CY! FOREARM FROM LIMMY! CY! LIMMY! CY! LIMMY! CY! BOTH MEN RISE TO THEIR FEET, EACH STRUGGLING TO STAND! SOLELY BEING WILLED ON BY THEIR FIGHTING SPIRIT, CONTINUING TO TRADE SOME NASTY BLOWS!

Stew-O: CY! LIMMY! CY! LIMMY! CY! LIMMY! C- WHOA! CY WENT TO CONNECT WITH ANOTHER FOREARM, BUT SIMPLY STUMBLED AROUND BEFORE HE COLLAPSED TO A KNEE! CY SHAKES HIS HEAD, AND GRITS THROUGH THE PAIN, POWERING BACK TO HIS FEET! WE HAD SPECULATED THE EXHAUSTION ON BOTH SIDES! THAT JUST ABOUT CONFIRMS IT! BUT CY DOESNT LET THEM STOP HIM FROM DELIVERING A TO LIMMY!

Jake Mercer: IN FACT, ITS MULTIPLE FOREARMS FROM CY, CONNECTING IN RAPID REPETITION! BUT THAT ONLY SERVED TO LIGHT MORE FUEL UNDER LIMMY’S FIRE AS HE RETORTS BACK WITH A FOREARM STRIKE OF HIS OWN! CY STAGGERS BACK, AND LIMMY LETS OUT A SCREAM BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANOTHER FOREARM! HAVING CHARGED IT UP-

Flannery McCoy: CY! CY BLOCKS IT WITH A BOOT TO THE FOREARM, SPINNING LIMMY AROUND! CY DOUBLES OVER, UNABLE TO FOLLOW THAT UP INSTANTLY, ALLOWING LIMMY TO BOUNCE BACK WITH A PELE KICK!

Jake Mercer: CY DROPS TO ALL FOURS, AND LIMMY CRAWLS OVER TO HENDERSON, HOOKING HIM UP FOR THE OUTER HEAVEN!

Stew-O: AGAIN, CY HENDERSON HAS IT SCOUTED WITH A BACK BODY DROP! UNFORTUNATELY, EXHAUSTION REARS ITS UGLY HEAD AGAIN, AND CY DROPS TO BOTH KNEES! LIMMY RISES TO HIS FEET, FAVORING HIS BACK MOMENTARILY BEFORE CHARGING IN WITH THE SWINGING BACK ELBOW ATTEMPT! DIVINE DEPARTURE TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD!

Jake Mercer: NO! CY HENDERSON DUCKS DOWN, AVOIDING THE FATAL BLOW! LIMMY POPS TO HIS FEET AS CY HENDERSON REMAINS ON BOTH KNEES! ROUNDHOUSE KICK ATTEMPT!

Flannery McCoy: BUT CY HENDERSON DUCKS UNDERNEATH, AND ROLLS LIMMY UP WITH A SCHOOL BOY!

ONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

TWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

Stew-O: WAIT! CY DOESNT HOLD FOR THE COVER, AND BEGINS TO LIFT LIMMY UP WITH ONE ARM! LOOK AT THE POWER! LOOK AT THE STRENGTH! WITH ONE ARM, CY HAS LIMMY, ANOTHER GROWN MAN, UP, AND LAUNCHES HIM INTO THE CORNER WITH A BUCKLE BOMB!

Flannery McCoy: LIMMY HIT HARD, AND STAGGERS OUT OF THE CORNER, AND INTO CY HENDERSON! CY HOOKS HIM UP FOR RISING TIDE, BUT LIMMY LEAPS OUT OF HIS REACH AS HE TRIED HOISTING HIM UP! LIMMY LANDS ON HIS FEET BEHIND HENDERSON, AND GRABS HIM IN A REAR WAISTLOCK! LIMMY TRIES TO REBOUND CY OFF THE ROPES FOR AN O’CONNOR ROLL!

Stew-O: BUT CY HANGS ONTO THE TOP ROPE, AND FLINGS LIMMY OFF! MONAGHAN ROLLS THROUGH TO HIS FEET! CY SEES THIS, AND CHARGES IN! BUT LIMMY POPS HIM UP IN THE AIR, AND SLAMS CY DOWN WITH A POWERBOMB! NOW, CY GETS TO SEE HOW IT FEELS, GETTING DUMPED HIGH ON HIS NECK AND SHOULDERS! LIMMY ROLLS HIM THROUGH TO BOTH KNEES! AGAIN, GRABS BOTH WRIST FOR A DEVASTATING KNEE STRIKE!

Flannery McCoy: CY CRUMPLES TO ALL FOURS, BUT LIMMY PULLS HIM UP, HOOKING BOTH ARMS OF CY, AND FINALLY CONNECTS WITH THE OUTER HEAVEN!

Jake Mercer: FINALLY, IT CONNECTS!

Stew-O: LIMMY ROLLS CY OVER, BUT DOESNT GO FOR THE COVER! INSTEAD, SITTING CY UP, AND HE RUNS OFF THE ROPES IN FRONT OF HIM! DIVINE DEPARTURE! DIVINE DEPARTURE TO THE FACE OF A SEATED CY HENDERSON!

Flannery McCoy: BUT LIMMY MIGHT HAVE CAME IN WITH A LITTLE TOO MUCH, AND A LITTLE TOO MUCH MOMENTUM ON THAT ELBOW AS BOTH MEN GO TUMBLING OUT UNDERNEATH THE BOTTOM ROPE!

Jake Mercer: NOW, THEYRE RIGHT IN FRONT OF US, AND FROM WHAT I SEE, CY HENDERSON IS OUT! THE OUTER HEAVENS, AND DIVINE DEPARTURE APPEARS TO HAVE DONE THE JOB! BUT LIKE FLANNERY SAID, LIMMY MUSTVE CAME IN WITH TOO MUCH FORCE AND MOMENTUM, CAUSING BOTH MEN TO GO ROLLING OUT UNDERNEATH THE BOTTOM ROPE!

Stew-O: AND THIS COULD BE BAD! THIS COULD BE VERY, VERY BAD FOR LIMMY! BECAUSE NOW HE HAS 240 POUNDS OF DEAD WEIGHT TO GET IN THAT RING! CY HENDERSON ISNT PLAYING POSSUM LIKE EARLIER! HES ACTUALLY OUT!

Flannery McCoy: WERE DEEP INTO THE MATCH AS WELL! LIMMY’S STRENGTH CANT BE NEARLY TO THE LEVEL IT WAS AT THE START!

Stew-O: LIMMY IS UP TO ALL FOURS, AND TRIES PULLING CY HENDERSON UP! MANAGING TO GET THE HALL OF FAMER IN A FRONT FACELOCK, AND ATTEMPTING TO PULL CY UP AS THE REFEREE’S COUNT CONTINUES!

Referee: FIVE! SIX!

Flannery McCoy: LIMMY GETS CY UP TO A KNEE, BUT SOMETHING APPEARS TO CATCH HIS ATTENTION OVER AT OUR COMMENTATING AREA!

Jake Mercer: HEY, LIMMY! ITS ME! IM YOUR BIGGEST FAN! 👋

Flannery McCoy: NO! NOT YOU, YOU GOOF!

Jake Mercer: :kyrie:

Stew-O: FLANNERY’S RIGHT! LIMMY APPEARS TO BE EYEING OUR ANNOUNCE TABLE, AND DECIDES TO LET CY HENDERSON GO! CY CRUMPLES ONTO THE FLOOR, AND LIMMY ROLLS BACK IN BEFORE ROLLING BACK OUT, RESTARTING THE REFEREES COUNT!

Flannery McCoy: UH-OH! CRUEL INTENTIONS ON THE MIND! LIMMY MONAGHAN HAS SPOTTED OUR COMMENTARY DESK, SIMILAR TO HOW HE DID ON DYNASTY, AND HAS BEGUN TAKING IT APART! REMOVING THE COVER, AND REMOVING OUR MONITORS AS WELL!

Stew-O: YOU MENTIONED DYNASTY, AND MY QUESTION IS: HAS LIMMY NOT LEARNED HIS LESSON FROM IT?! LAST TIME HE TRIED TO PUT CY HENDERSON THROUGH THAT TABLE, HE WOUND UP GETTING LOW BLOWED, AND SPIKED RIGHT IN FRONT OF US!

Flannery McCoy: IF AT FIRST YOU DONT SUCCEED, TRY AGAIN MUST BE THE PHILOSOPHY HERE AS LIMMY FINISHES CLEANING IT OFF, AND TURNS HIS ATTENTION BACK OVER TO CY HENDERSON! HENDERSON APPEARS TO STILL BE OUT OF IT, SHOWING NEXT TO NO SIGNS OF LIFE! BARELY STIRRING!

Jake Mercer: AND LIMMY STANDS CY HENDERSON UP, LAYING HIM ON OUR ANNOUNCE TABLE!

Stew-O: LIMMY CLIMBS UP THERE AS WELL, AND PULLS CY HENDERSON TO HIS FEET! LIMMY BEGINS TO HOOK CY UP FOR OUTER HEAVENS THROUGH THE TABLE!

Flannery McCoy: BUT CY TWIRLS OUT OF THE PEDIGREE, UTILIZING WHATEVER ENERGY HE HAS LEFT, AND PROCEEDING TO RAKE THE EYES OF MONAGHAN!

Stew-O: LIMMY DOUBLES OVER AS A RESULT, AND CY PULLS HIM IN FOR AN OUTER HEAVEN! LOOKING TO ADD INSULT TO INJURY AS HE SLAMS HIS OPPONENT THROUGH THE TABLE!

Flannery McCoy: HEY, WAIT! LIMMY MONAGHAN WITH A BACK BODY DROP, SENDING CY HENDERSON THROUGH THE SPANISH ANNOUNCE TABLE INSTEAD!

Stew-O: LIMMY DROPS TO HIS KNEES, CATCHING HIS BREATH BEFORE GETTING OFF TO RETRIEVE HENDERSON! LIMMY PULLS CY BACK TO HIS FEET, AND ROLLS HIM INSIDE THE RING! LIMMY SLIDES IN AS WELL, AND SOMEHOW, CY HENDERSON’S ALREADY BACK TO HIS FEET, ALBEIT BARELT!

Jake Mercer: CY’S REELING OFF GOING THROUGH THAT ANNOUNCE TABLE, AND STAGGERS INTO THE CORNER! LIMMY CLOSES IN, SENSING THE END IS NEAR!-

Flannery McCoy: BUT WAIT! CY PULLED THE REFEREE IN THE WAY! LIMMY PUSHES PAST HIM, BUT CY USES THAT CHANCE TO DELIVER A SWIFT KICK TO THE FAMILY JEWELS!

Stew-O: REFEREE DIDNT SEE IT! LIMMY DOUBLES OVER, EYES NEARLY BULGING OUT OF HIS HEAD FROM THE PAIN!

Flannery McCoy: CY LIFTS LIMMY UP IN POSITION FOR THE BURNING HAMMER, AND STARTS CLIMBING UP TO THE MIDDLE ROPE WITH LIMMY ON HIS SHOULDERS!

Jake Mercer: NO WAY! NO WAY!

Flannery McCoy: AVALANCHE… RISING TIDE!

Stew-O: CY HOOKS THE LEG! AND YOU CAN COUNT TO ONE-HUNDRED! LIMMY ISNT KICKING OUT OF THIS!

ONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!

TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!

THHHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEE!!

(DING! DING! DING!)

Stephie Love: HERE’S YOUR WINNER…CY HENDERSON!!

(“Tupac Back” by Meek Mill feat. Rick Ross blares throughout the arena to a negative reception from fans as Cy Henderson rolls over, and lies back on Limmy’s limp body, a smug smile forming on his face.)

Stew-O: Well…he’s done it. Cy Henderson has defeated Limmy Monaghan, but…. I can’t say that there isn’t controversy surrounding that ending.

Flannery McCoy: Yeah, everybody saw it clear as day! Cy Henderson went low!

Jake Mercer: Son of a-

Stew-O: Well, we don’t have to like it, but regardless, Cy Henderson is VICTORIOUS over Limmy Moanghan! Talk about a Pain for Pride moment!

(The camera fades elsewhere as Cy Henderson has his hand raised by the referee before exiting the ring, and backpedaling up the ramp, locking eyes with an angry and annoyed, Limmy Monaghan, who sits himself up in the corner, holding his groin and neck areas in pain.)

( https://i.imgur.com/bg2VIaY.png )

(The camera returns to ringside, and Bella Braxton is seen standing in the center of the ring.)

Bella Braxton: The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!!!!!

Crowd: ONE FALL!!!

Bella Braxton: In this match, there are no disqualifications or count outs! The only way to win is via pinfall or submission, and it is for THE EAW WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!!

(After this, the lights in the stadium go out. The camera pans to the stage, and after a while the titantron screen lights up, before a video begins to play.)

( https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/852938538748084314/1218800709638815824/Jake_Smith.mp4?ex=6677b99d&is=6676681d&hm=5f04c0fb880facd14326f4804dd73fe92ce6374b844eb77516796a5075aa4722& )

(After this, the camera returns to the stage, where ‘Stop Breathing’ by Playboi Carti hits. The fans in attendance begin to loudly boo, and Jake Smith begins walking out. The newly inducted Hall of Famer has a confident look on his face, smirking as he looks ready for this World Championship match. Jake begins walking down the ramp, ignoring all of the boos coming from the fans as he knows this is his opportunity to finally become a two-time World Champion, all in the main event of Pain for Pride.)

Bella Braxton: Introducing first… From Atherton, California… Weighing in at 210 pounds… HE IS THE PROCESS, JAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE SMMMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!

Persephone: …What was the point of that video?

James Peters: Who knows? Anyways, Jake Smith is here only days after being inducted to the EAW Hall of Fame, and he looks more ready than ever to become World Champion again. We know how personal things have become between himself and Charlie.

Rich Russillo: That’s right, so I wouldn’t be surprised if this gets heated quickly. After all, Jake almost spent Pain for Pride in prison.

Persephone: Yeah, until someone went and bailed him out.

(As Jake Smith waits in the ring, ‘It Ain’t Safe’ by Skepta hits. The fans continue to loudly boo as Charlie Marr begins to walk out with his Championship being worn around his waist. However, that’s not all Charlie has. Charlie is holding something, and he stares at Jake Smith with a smirk on his face before revealing what it is. It is a poster, but what’s on the poster is enough to annoy Jake as the camera gets a close shot of it.)

( https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/527516451855269906/1251583113222422528/photo-output.jpg?ex=6678559b&is=6677041b&hm=67cdeedd9af6966b23881a13d7018663622c677b099122faf0a6fc379cd85014& )

James Peters: He can’t be serious.

Persephone: :mjlol:

(Charlie Marr holds up the poster on his way to the ring, as the fans continue to boo, knowing both the implications of the image and the fact that Jessica Smith was not actually dead this entire time. Charlie clearly doesn’t care about the reaction he’s given though, continuing to hold up the poster on his way down to the ring.)

Bella Braxton: And his opponent… Tower Hamlets, London, United Kingdom… Weighing in at 240 pounds… HE IS THE EAW WORLD CHAMPION, CHAAAAAAARRRLIIEEEEEEEE MMMMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

James Peters: Well… I think that entrance tells you everything you need to know. Both of these men are as unlikable as possible, and yet they’re fighting for the EAW World Championship in the Pain for Pride main event. I think that says enough about how talented they are.

Rich Russillo: This is bound to be an interesting match, and I think this stipulation has given them all the freedom they could ask for. Now, there’s no rules restricting them and stopping them from doing some of the things they’ve become known for.

Persephone: It also stopped this from being the worst match on the entire show.

James Peters: Charlie Marr has defended this title four times now. Will this be his fifth successful defense???

(Jake Smith and Charlie Marr stand in their respective corners, and finally the referee calls for the bell, signaling the beginning of this match.)

(Ding! Ding! Ding!)

James Peters: The match is underway, AND NOW NEITHER MAN WASTES ANY TIME LOOKING TO ATTACK! BOTH MEN CHARGE IN!

Rich Russillo: BUT CHARLIE WAS PREPARED! HE SPINS AROUND FOR THE CHARING CROSS-

James Peters: THAT DOESN’T CONNECT THOUGH, AS JAKE DUCKS UNDER IT BEFORE SPRINGBOARDING OFF THE MIDDLE ROPE!!!! STARMAKER-

Rich Russillo: :krabs:

Persephone: There is no way…

James Peters: :lupe: Well the Starmaker connected… But not on Charlie Marr.

Rich Russillo: Yeah. Charlie pulled the referee in front of him, and got the ref hit instead. :mjlol:

Persephone: I’d say this is a good thing since they can use weapons and stuff now, but this was no DQ to begin with… Is this the fastest a referee has been taken out?

(Jake turns around, realizing the referee is down. He quickly looks over at Charlie Marr, in pure disbelief that something like this has already happened. Despite this, both men share a look as they seem to have the same idea.)

James Peters: That’s a very good question, BUT WE’LL HAVE TO FIGURE THAT OUT SOME OTHER TIME AS BOTH MEN JUST ROLLED OUT OF THE RING, BOTH SEEMINGLY WANTING TO UTILIZE THE STIPULATION GIVEN TO THEM ASAP! Both men are digging under the ring right now, and considering the stipulation, I guess we shouldn’t have expected guys like Jake and Charlie to waste any time and take any risks! Both men clearly want to walk out of this match as the EAW World Champion, and they’re clearly both willing to do whatever it takes!

Rich Russillo: Jake seems to have found his weapon, and while Charlie seems to have found something himself, I can’t exactly tell what it is. Even so Jake is running over to Charlie, AND HE HAS A BARBED WIRE BASEBALL BAT IN HIS HAND!

Persephone: Doesn’t Jake call that bat something about Terry Chambers? I don’t really get it, BUT HE SWINGS IT AT CHARLIE’S HEAD!

James Peters: AND HE BARELY MISSES!!!! CHARLIE DUCKED UNDER IT, AND NOW HE SWINGS AT JAKE WITH BRASS KNUCKLES!!!! THAT’S WHAT HE GOT FROM UNDER THE RING!

Rich Russillo: JAKE IS ABLE TO DUCK UNDER CHARLIE’S ARM THOUGH- AND NOW JAKE JUST KICKS CHARLIE BELOW THE BELT!!!!! JAKE WITH A LOW BLOW TO THE EAW WORLD CHAMPION!!!!

Persephone: :mjlol: These guys both suck. The ref is down, there’s been a low blow. Did they forget the match only just started? How are we already here?

James Peters: Well I think the pace is about to slow down a bit now, as that low blow definitely hurt Charlie! Jake now grabbing the Champion, AND HE SENDS HIM OVER THE BARRICADE AND INTO THE CROWD! Jake climbs over the barricade, and it looks like this match has spilled into the crowd early on! Jake grabs one of the fans’ chairs, and HE SWINGS IT AT CHARLIE-

Rich Russillo: WAIT, NO! CHARLIE WITH A THUMB TO THE EYE, CATCHING JAKE OFF GUARD!!!! CHARLIE NOW WITH A HEADBUTT, AND JAKE DROPS THE CHAIR!!!! CHARLIE CONNECTS WITH A RIGHT HAND, AND NOW HE’S FINALLY ABLE TO PICK UP THE CHAIR AS JAKE STUMBLES AWAY FROM HIM!

Persephone: Charlie hits Jake in the back with the chair and causes Jake to stumble further into the crowd, and you know what? I wasn’t sure what to expect with two of the most unlikable people in the company facing each other, but it wasn’t this.

James Peters: CHARLIE HITS JAKE IN THE BACK WITH THE CHAIR A SECOND TIME, AND NOW JAKE LOOKS LIKE HE MIGHT ACTUALLY BE IN TROUBLE! CHARLIE WITH A THIRD SHOT WITH THE CHAIR AS JAKE CONTINUES TO RETREAT INTO THE CROWD, AND-

Rich Russillo: :whoa: !!!! I don’t know if we can do that!

James Peters: CHARLIE WAS ABOUT TO HIT JAKE WITH THE CHAIR AGAIN, BUT JAKE JUST PULLED ONE OF THE FANS IN FRONT OF HIM!!!!

Rich Russillo: CHARLIE HAD TO STOP HIMSELF FROM HITTING THE FAN, BUT THAT BRIEF MOMENT OF HESITATION IS ALL JAKE NEEDED! HE SHOVES THE FAN AWAY BEFORE HITTING CHARLIE WITH A SUPERKICK, AND NOW HE QUICKLY TAKES A BOTTLE FROM ANOTHER ONE OF THE FANS BEFORE SMASHING IT OVER THE BACK OF CHARLIE’S HEAD! JAKE USING CHARLIE’S OWN TACTIC AGAINST HIM AS HE JUST USED A FAN AS A HUMAN SHIELD, AND NOW IT LOOKS LIKE HE’S BRINGING CHARLIE BACK TO RINGSIDE!

Persephone: Yeah, but not without also stealing a few more of the fans’ seats. Seriously, is this okay?

James Peters: I don’t know, but we’ll have to think about that some other time. Right now Jake is wrapping one of the chairs around Charlie’s neck, and whatever it is Jake is planning to do, it just can’t be good! Jake has one more chair in his hand, but before attempting to use it, HE FIRST LIFTS CHARLIE UP AND APPROACHES THE BARRICADE, BEFORE DELIVERING A SNAKE EYES ONTO IT WITH THE CHAIR AROUND CHARLIE’S THROAT!!!

Rich Russillo: CHARLIE DROPS DOWN ONTO HIS KNEES, AND JAKE HITS HIM IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD WITH THE OTHER STEEL CHAIR! JAKE NOW WITH A SECOND STEEL CHAIR SHOT!!! A THIRD NOW BY JAKE, AND NOW JAKE FINALLY GRABS CHARLIE BEFORE TOSSING HIM BACK OVER TO RINGSIDE! Charlie Marr is in terrible condition right now, and already these two have proven that they’re willing to go very low for the sake of winning this match! Jake now climbing back over the barricade and joining Charlie at ringside, and it looks like Jake is in full control now!

Persephone: If Jake somehow wins this match, he owes that fan he used as a shield. He’d probably make a better Champion than Jake.

James Peters: Well this match isn’t over yet- BUT IT’S NOT LOOKING GOOD, AS JAKE SENDS CHARLIE INTO THE RING POST, ONCE AGAIN WITH THE CHAIR STILL AROUND HIS THROAT!!! WE’RE STILL EARLY INTO THIS ONE, AND YET IT LOOKS LIKE WE COULD BE ON THE VERGE OF SEEING A SERIOUS INJURY TONIGHT! If this continues, we may very well be guaranteed a new EAW World Champion! Jake has a huge grin on his face, and I think he’s picked up on that, too! Jake now pulling Charlie up, and-

(*CRACK!*)

Rich Russillo: THE BRASS KNUCKLES!!! CHARLIE STILL HAD THE BRASS KNUCKLES, AND THIS TIME HE MANAGED TO CONNECT WITH THEM, PUNCHING JAKE DIRECTLY IN THE JAW! CHARLIE MAY HAVE JUST SAVED THE MATCH FOR HIMSELF, AS HE FINALLY REMOVES THAT CHAIR FROM HIS THROAT!!! Jake Smith is out right now, meaning that this match has completely turned around! The Champion is in control, and from the looks of it, he’s not wasting any time!

Persephone: It looks like Jake’s about to regret bringing out that barbed wire bat.

James Peters: Jake slowly begins pushing himself back up, BUT BEFORE HE EVEN GETS THE CHANCE TO, CHARLIE MARR HITS HIM RIGHT IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD WITH THE BARBED WIRE BASEBALL BAT!!!! IF THE BRASS KNUCKLES DIDN’T TAKE JAKE OUT FOR THE COUNT THAT BAT DEFINITELY DID, BUT CHARLIE CLEARLY HAS NO PLANS TO STOP THERE! He wants to make sure Jake is down for good, and knowing everything Jake is capable of, I don’t blame him. Let’s not forget, this is the Grand Rampage winner we’re talking about!

Rich Russillo: Charlie Marr is walking over our table, and he begins clearing it out! Clearly Charlie has a plan with the table, and-

(*CRACK!*)

Persephone: :mjlol: Charlie just threw one of the monitors at Jake’s head! I hope that was mine so I don’t have to watch anything else.

Rich Russillo: I’m pretty sure it’ll be replaced anyway.

Persephone: Oh. Great. :francis:

James Peters: Well Charlie Marr just grabbed Jake, and he’s pulling him over towards our table before slowly lifting Jake on top of it! Whatever Charlie has planned here, I have no doubt that it’s going to be huge, to the point that the entire match may be in jeopardy for Jake! Charlie now climbing on top of the table before slowly beginning to lift Jake up, and-

Rich Russillo: JAKE HAD ONE OF THE OTHER MONITORS IN HIS HAND! JAKE HAD ONE OF THE MONITORS AND HE JUST HIT CHARLIE IN THE FACE WITH IT! SURPRISING TURN OF EVENTS BY JAKE, WHO SLOWLY PUSHES HIMSELF BACK UP! JAKE NOW, GOING FOR THE STARMAKER ON CHARLIE ON TOP OF THE TABLE!!!!

Jame Peters: NO! CHARLIE STOPS JAKE AND SHOVES HIM AWAY!!!

Rich Russillo: BUT JAKE STEPS ONTO THE APRON, BEFORE OFF OF IT WITH ANOTHER ATTEMPT AT THE STARMAKER!!!!!

Persephone: But that didn’t connect either! Charlie just hit Jake right in the back of the head with the monitor instead.

James Peters: Charlie climbs down from the table and pulls Jake up from ringside, and now finally he just sends Jake back into the ring. Charlie knows he’s in control, and from the looks of it he is planning to take advantage of this. Charlie now quickly digging under the ring, and it seems like he’s looking for another weapon.

Rich Russillo: Charlie pulls out a chain, and this could be dangerous! He wraps some of it around his wrist before sliding into the ring, and I think it’s pretty clear what he’s planning right now! Jake is pushing himself up, AND CHARLIE JUST WHIPS HIM WITH THE CHAIN, HITTING THE GRAND RAMPAGE WINNER IN THE BACK!!!

James Peters: JAKE YELLS OUT IN PAIN AS HE STUMBLES INTO THE CORNER OF THE RING! JAKE’S BACK IS STILL EXPOSED THOUGH, AND ONCE AGAIN CHARLIE WHIPS HIM WITH THE CHAIN!!!!! JAKE IS HURTING, AND NOW CHARLIE QUICKLY PULLS THE CHAIN OVER JAKE’S THROAT, BEGINNING TO CHOKE HIM OUT WITH IT!

Persephone: Wow. This idiot is already about to be choked out in a Pain for Pride main event. How the hell did these two end up in a World Championship match and Luis didn’t??? It doesn’t make any sense.

Rich Russillo: Jake Smith is in trouble here, as Charlie Marr is still choking Jake out with that chain! The referee has gotten back up since Jake’s accidental attack at the start of the match, so if Jake passes out or taps out, this match is already over and Charlie Marr retains his Championship!

James Peters: Jake is struggling right now. He won the Grand Rampage match, the last thing he wants is to lose when he was this close to making it out of this season with his second World Championship! With no disqualifications comes no rope breaks though, so if Jake wants to get out of this he’s gonna have to somehow fight his way out! With the shape he’s in though, I’m not so sure that he can! Jake looks like he might be starting to fade, IS THIS MATCH ABOUT TO BE OVER!? DID CHARLIE MARR RETAIN THE EAW WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP!?

Rich Russillo: NO! JAKE GRABS ONTO THE CHAIN BEFORE ROLLING FORWARD ONTO THE MAT, AND- WHAT THE HELL!?!?

Persephone: When did that happen!?

James Peters: JAKE SENT CHARLIE MARR INTO THE MIDDLE TURNBUCKLE, BUT LOOK AT THAT! THE PADDING HAS BEEN REMOVED!!! JAKE CLEARLY REMOVED THE TURNBUCKLE PADDING WHILE HE WAS IN THE CORNER, AND THANKS TO THAT CHARLIE MARR JUST WENT HEAD FIRST INTO THE STEEL!! JAKE JUST SAVED HIS CHANCES IN THIS MATCH, AND AT THE SAME TIME TURNED THINGS AROUND FOR HIMSELF AS CHARLIE HAS NO IDEA WHERE HE IS! CHARLIE SLOWLY STUMBLES OUT OF THE CORNER…

Rich Russillo: PROPHETIC!!!!! JAKE SMITH CONNECTS WITH THE ROLLING CUTTER ON CHARLIE MARR!!!!!!

Persephone: BUT CHARLIE JUST ROLLED BACK OUT OF THE RING!!!!!!

(Jake tries stopping Charlie and going for the cover, but he’s just a bit too late. The fans begin to boo as Charlie falls to ringside, while Jake is frustrated that he couldn’t pin Charlie in time.)

Rich Russillo: That had to hurt for Jake. That was a huge opening, but they were just close enough to the ropes for Charlie to roll out of the ring. I don’t even think it was intentional, and knowing that likely just annoys Jake even more.

James Peters: Jake rolls out of the ring before digging for another weapon, and he pulls out… What?

Rich Russillo: It’s a sheet of paper, but for some reason it’s laced with barbed wire. I’ll admit, I’m a bit confused about this one.

Persephone: Alright, has nobody questioned Jake about these stupid weapons? Who even put that under the ring? How did it get there?

James Peters: Well I’m not so sure that matters. As ridiculous as that seems, it looks like Jake has an idea with it. He’s rolling up the paper into a ball as Charlie Marr begins to stir, and whatever he has in mind just can’t be good.

Rich Russillo: Charlie Marr pushes himself up to his knees, BUT BEFORE HE COULD GET BACK UP, JAKE GRABS CHARLIE AND SHOVES THE BARBED WIRE WRAPPED PAPER INTO HIS MOUTH!!!! CHARLIE MARR ESSENTIALLY HAS A BUNCH OF BARBED WIRE IN HIS MOUTH- AND NOW JAKE MAKES IT WORSE BY DELIVERING ANOTHER SUPERKICK, DROPPING CHARLIE BACK TO THE GROUND!!! IT LOOKS LIKE WE SHOULDN’T HAVE JUDGED JAKE’ DECISION AFTER ALL, AS HE CLEARLY HAD A BRUTAL IDEA ON HIS MIND!

James Peters: Jake sends Charlie back into the ring, where you can see that chain still near the corner of the ring as Charlie dropped it. Jake notices this, and he picks it up! I think Jake now has his own ideas with that chain, as he wraps it around his boot. Jake now running the ropes as Charlie slowly begins to sit up, AND JAKE CONNECTS WITH A HUGE PENALTY KICK TO THE CHIN, HITTING CHARLIE WITH THE CHAIN ON HIS BOOT WHILE THE BARBED WIRE IS STILL IN HIS MOUTH!

Persephone: Jake takes the chain off of his boot, and it looks like blood is actually starting to pour from Charlie’s mouth. This is getting interesting.

Rich Russillo: Jake pulls himself up onto the middle rope, and he waits as Charlie Marr slowly starts coming to his senses. Charlie begins pushing himself up, AND NOW THERE’S JAKE OFF THE TOP ROPE!! HELL ABOVE!!!!

James Peters: NO!!!! CHARLIE CATCHES JAKE WITH THE HEADMASTER RITUAL, RIGHT ONTO THE CHAIN!!!! SPINEBUSTER ONTO THE CHAIN!!!! CHARLIE CAUGHT JAKE RIGHT OUT OF MID AIR, AND NOW HE GOES FOR THE COVER, LOOKING TO BRING THIS MATCH TO AN END AND RETAIN THE EAW WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!

OOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!

TTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

TTTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

Rich Russillo: JAKE SMITH MANAGES TO KICK OUT!!!!!

Persephone: At least now this match can get more bloody. If both of these guys leave this match alive, there’s a problem.

James Peters: Charlie Marr tries to argue with the referee for a moment despite the pain, but they make it clear that it was indeed only a two count. With that being said Charlie rolls out of the ring. It looks like Charlie is heading over to the timekeepers area and grabbing his Championship! He knows he can’t walk out of this match like he did at Grand Rampage, right?

Rich Russillo: Jake Smith crawls over to the ropes, using them to start trying to pull himself up- BUT CHARLIE MARR HITS HIM RIGHT IN THE FACE WITH THE CHAMPIONSHIP!!!! IT LOOKS LIKE HE HAD NO INTENTIONS OF LEAVING IN THE FIRST PLACE AS JAKE FALLS BACKWARDS, COVERING HIS FACE IN PAIN!!!! Charlie takes a seat on the apron, and he just raises his Championship in the air right in front of the fans! This says a lot about how confident Charlie is tonight, but then again, can we really blame him? Charlie Marr has been Champion since Road to Redemption, and he’s already successfully defended the title four times!

Persephone: Not impressed. Luis would’ve defended it five times by now.

James Peters: :francis: Right. Well Charlie Marr just grabbed the barbed wire baseball bat from earlier, and it looks like he’s about to use it to his advantage once again! Jake is in bad shape right now after that spinebuster and shot with the Championship, AND NOW CHARLIE ONCE AGAIN HITS HIM WITH THE BASEBALL BAT!!! THE SAME WEAPON JAKE BROUGHT INTO THIS MATCH HIMSELF IS ONCE AGAIN BEING USED AGAINST HIM, AND BY NOW I THINK JAKE DEFINITELY HAS TO BE REGRETTING EVER BRINGING IT TO THIS MATCH!

Rich Russillo: JAKE TRIES ROLLING OUT OF THE RING, BUT ONCE AGAIN CHARLIE HITS HIM WITH THE BASEBALL BAT, WITH THAT BARBED WIRE TEARING AWAY AT JAKE’S FLESH WITH EVERY HIT! JAKE IS ABLE TO PULL HIMSELF OUT TO THE APRON, BUT I’M NOT SO SURE THAT THIS WILL DO HIM ANY GOOD! JAKE SLOWLY PULLS HIMSELF UP ON THE APRON USING THE ROPES, BUT JUST AS HE MAKES IT BACK TO HIS FEET, CHARLIE SWINGS AT HIS HEAD WITH THE BAT!!!

James Peters: WAIT, NO!! BEFORE HE COULD, JAKE HIT CHARLIE WITH A THUMB TO THE EYE!!! JAKE NOW PULLING CHARLIE IN THROUGH THE ROPES, AND HE DROPS CHARLIE WITH A DDT ONTO THE APRON!!!! HUGE MOVE BY JAKE AS THE EAW WORLD CHAMPION FALLS DOWN TO RINGSIDE ONCE MORE!!! HOW DID JAKE FIND HIS WAY BACK INTO THIS!?

Persephone: I don’t know, but I’m seeing too many actual moves right now. There’s no disqualification. USE MORE WEAPONS! I DON’T WANT TO SEE AWFUL LOOKING DDTS!!

Rich Russillo: Jake joins Charlie at ringside, and you can tell Jake isn’t in good condition after all those shots with the barbed wire bat. He’s bleeding all over, but from the looks of it he’s got something on his mind.

James Peters: Jake now pulling Charlie up, and he… OH NO! JAKE PULLS OUT THE BARBED WIRE LACED PAPER THAT WAS STUCK IN CHARLIE’S MOUTH, AND NOW A BUNCH OF BLOOD JUST POURS OUT AS JAKE HITS CHARLIE WITH AN UPPERCUT, CAUSING CHARLIE TO STUMBLE BACKWARDS TOWARDS OUR TABLE!

Rich Russillo: Jake approaches Charlie, BUT CHARLIE RESPONDS WITH A RIGHT HAND, CAUSING JAKE TO STUMBLE BACK! JAKE QUICKLY RESPONDS WITH ONE OF HIS OWN, THOUGH! These two keep going back and forth, and-

James Peters: CHARLIE TRIED TO GO AFTER JAKE’S EYES, BUT JAKE ANTICIPATED IT AND CAUGHT CHARLIE’S HAND!!!

Rich Russillo: CHARLIE IMMEDIATELY HEADBUTTS JAKE THOUGH, BEFORE THROWING HIM ON TOP OF OUR TABLE! IT LOOKS LIKE THE TABLE IS GOING TO BE UTILIZED AFTER ALL, AND THIS ISN’T GOOD FOR JAKE!!!!

Persephone: It’s not good for me, either. These two are way too close. I didn’t ask for this.

James Peters: Well regardless, Charlie has climbed on top of our table, and he begins dragging Jake up! Charlie now, LIFTING JAKE UP ON HIS SHOULDERS FOR A POWERBOMB THROUGH THE TABLE!!!!!

Rich Russillo: WAIT, WHAT THE HELL!?!? JAKE SLIPPED OUT OF CHARLIE’S SHOULDERS, BEFORE POPPING CHARLIE UP AND PUTTING HIM THROUGH THE TABLE WITH THE LAST SEDATION!!!!! POP UP POWERBOMB BY JAKE SMITH AS BOTH MEN CRASH THROUGH OUR TABLE!!!! WHAT A MATCH THIS HAS BEEN!!!!!!

Persephone: I just can’t take anything this short idiot does seriously. Why is he doing Xander Payne’s moves??

James Peters: I don’t think anyone can explain the decisions Jake Smith makes, but just look at what he’s done. As unusual as his decisions may be, he clearly knows how to get the job done!

Rich Russillo: That’s right, and now look. Jake is slowly pushing himself back up, but instead of going directly after Charlie, he’s digging under the ring for something else! By this point both men just look terrible. They’ve been through a lot, and there’s still no telling who will leave this match as Champion! These two have spent a lot of time outside of the ring, and it’s because after everything that’s happened, they don’t just want to win. They want to tear each other apart in the process!

Persephone: It’s funny you said that, because Jake just took out yet ANOTHER stupid weapon. Again, who is setting this up for him?? Why are we enabling this??

James Peters: :mjlol: Well this time I can’t really argue, because Jake just brought out a LEGO table.

Rich Russillo: Jake just slides it into the ring for now, before finally going back after the Champion! Jake has a grin on his face as he drags Charlie back up and sends him back into the ring. Jake doesn’t go directly back into the ring though. Instead, he digs under the ring once more.

Persephone: There we go! Now this is getting good!

James Peters: Jake slides back into the ring, and with him is a pair of handcuffs! Charlie knows these very well, and now Jake is looking to use them against him!

Rich Russillo: Jake grabs Charlie’s arm, AND HE SUCCESSFULLY HANDCUFFS HIS ARM TO THE MIDDLE ROPE!!!! JAKE USES THE KEY TO LOCK IT, AND JUST AS CHARLIE FINALLY WAKES UP, HE REALIZES THAT THERE’S NOTHING HE CAN DO!!! CHARLIE IS IN THE SAME SPOT REX WAS BACK AT GRAND RAMPAGE, ONLY I DON’T THINK JAKE HAS ANY INTENTIONS OF WALKING OUT! INSTEAD, HE CAN DO ALL THE DAMAGE HE WANTS!

(Charlie wakes back up, realizing that he can’t move his arm very far thanks to the handcuffs. Charlie looks over at Jake, furious as Jake mockingly holds the key in front of Charlie with a grin on his face.)

James Peters: Jake now grabbing that barbed wire wrapped bat, AND HE HITS CHARLIE RIGHT IN THE SIDE OF THE HEAD WITH IT!!!! I THINK THAT ALONE HAD TO HAVE BEEN ENOUGH TO KNOCK CHARLIE OUT, BUT JAKE DOESN’T STOP THERE!!! HE REPEATEDLY HITS CHARLIE WITH THE BAT, OVER AND OVER AGAIN AS CHARLIE CAN’T EVEN ESCAPE!!!! CHARLIE HAS TO BE DONE FOR, HOW CAN ANYONE SURVIVE SOMETHING LIKE THIS!?

Rich Russillo: Jake could definitely stop by now, but it looks like he has no intentions of doing so! For all we’ve said about Charlie Marr and his actions during his time as Champion, we have to remember that Jake is no better! Jake walks over to the EAW World Championship, AND NOW HE RUSHES OVER TO CHARLIE, PAYING HIM BACK WITH A SHOT TO THE FACE WITH THE CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!

Persephone: Jake finally removes the handcuffs, but I’m guessing he only did that because he knows this is over.

James Peters: You’re right! Jake just puts his foot on top of Charlie, HOLDING UP THE EAW WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP DURING THE COVER!

OOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!

TTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

TTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!

Rich Russillo: IT STILL ISN’T OVER!!!!!! CHARLIE MARR SOMEHOW MANAGED TO GET THE SHOULDER UP, KEEPING THIS MATCH ALIVE!!!!!

James Peters: JAKE IS LOOKING DOWN AT CHARLIE, AND HE CAN’T BELIEVE IT!!!!! THERE’S NO WAY, AFTER BEING PUT THROUGH THE TABLE AND TAKING ALL THOSE SHOTS TO THE HEAD, CHARLIE MARR IS STILL IN THIS MATCH!!!!!!

Persephone: :mjlol: Now it’s Jake’s turn to argue with the ref. Maybe you shouldn’t have gotten overconfident and gone for an actual cover.

James Peters: Jake is frustrated, and now he begins setting that LEGO table up in the corner of the ring. Jake shoves the referee out of the way as he goes back after Charlie Marr, and surely these two can’t have that much left, right? These two have already lost a ton of blood, and that’s not even mentioning the fact that they’ve had some huge moves done to them throughout this match. Jake now looking to potentially powerbomb Charlie through the LEGO table-

Rich Russillo: BUT CHARLIE FINDS IT IN HIM TO DELIVER A BACK BODY DROP!!!!! JAKE’S BACK HITS THE TABLE, BUT IT DOESN’T BREAK JUST YET!!!! CHARLIE IS ABLE TO CREATE SOME DISTANCE AS JAKE PUSHES HIMSELF BACK UP, NOT KNOWING WHERE HE IS AFTER POTENTIALLY BEING DROPPED ON HIS HEAD!

James Peters: CHARLIE MARR RUSHES IN, AND HE USES ALL THE STRENGTH HE HAS LEFT TO SPEAR JAKE THROUGH THE LEGO TABLE!!!!! BOTH MEN CRASH THROUGH THE LEGO TABLE THAT WAS SET UP IN THE CORNER BY JAKE!!!!!

Rich Russillo: Both men are down on the ground, and I have to say, I didn’t expect things to turn around like that. Charlie looks lifeless right now, and he clearly put everything behind that spear. Jake on the other hand is clearly hurting, and he might even be lucky that Charlie’s in no condition to go for the cover.

Persephone: I don’t know if it’s any better or worse that the table was LEGO. Then again, I think Jake landed on some of them, so that probably hurts. Maybe now he’ll stop doing this and actually be normal.

James Peters: Charlie is slowly pulling himself up, and while it’s way too late to go for a cover, Charlie knows Jake is not in good condition. Charlie drags Jake back up, AND I THINK HE’S SETTING UP FOR THE QUEEN IS DEAD!!!!

Rich Russillo: JAKE IS ABLE TO FREE HIMSELF FROM CHARLIE’S GRASP THOUGH, AND HE CONNECTS WITH A RIGHT HAND TO CHARLIE!!! CHARLIE BARELY MANAGES TO REMAIN ON HIS FEET, BUT THAT’S ENOUGH FOR HIM TO CONNECT WITH A CLOSED FIST PUNCH IN RETURN, CAUSING JAKE TO NEARLY LOSE HIS FOOTING! These two are going back and forth right now, but I’m not sure how this will play out for them knowing the damage they’ve taken, I’m not sure how this will play out for them!

James Peters: JAKE MANAGES TO CONNECT WITH A BOOT TO CHARLIE MARR! Charlie stumbles backwards, BUT HE HITS JAKE WITH AN ELBOW! JAKE STUMBLES BACK, BEFORE HITTING CHARLIE WITH AN ELBOW OF HIS OWN! CHARLIE RESPONDS WITH ANOTHER ELBOW- BUT JAKE RESPONDS WITH AN ENZUIGIRI, AND THIS DROPS CHARLIE MARR DOWN TO A KNEE!!!! CHARLIE COULDN’T TAKE ANY MORE, AND IT LOOKS LIKE JAKE HAS THE ADVANTAGE HERE!

Rich Russillo: JAKE REALIZES THIS, AND HE IMMEDIATELY PULLS DOWN HIS KNEEPAD BEFORE BEGINNING TO RUN THE ROPES!!!! KAIOKEN-

James Peters: CHARING CROSS!!!!!!

Persephone: :oh:

Rich Russillo: JUST AS JAKE RAN PAST HIM TO BOUNCE OFF THE ROPES AGAIN, CHARLIE PUSHED HIMSELF UP AND DELIVERED THE CHARING CROSS!!!!!! CHARLIE JUST SAVED HIMSELF FROM BEING KNEED IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD, AND IN THE PROCESS JUST ABOUT TOOK JAKE SMITH’S HEAD OFF!!!!! CHARLIE MARR PULLS HIMSELF OVER JAKE SMITH, HOOKING THE LEGS TO RETAIN THE EAW WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!

OOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!

TTTTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

TTTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!

James Peters: NO, IT’S NOT OVER YET!!!! JAKE MANAGED TO GET THE SHOULDER UP, AND LOOK!!!!!

Rich Russillo: HE USED THE ARM THAT WAS UNDER CHARLIE, HITTING HIM WITH A LOW BLOW AS HE KICKED OUT!!!!! HOW IS JAKE SMITH STILL IN THIS MATCH AFTER GETTING HIT WITH CHARLIE’S FINISHING MOVE!?!?

James Peters: Not only is Jake Smith still in this, but Charlie Marr can’t even capitalize on the damage he’s done thanks to that low blow! Regardless of your thoughts on either man, you have to admit that this was very smart. We’ve seen this done before by various Elitists, but in a match like this where anything goes, we shouldn’t have been surprised Jake did something like that!

Persephone: What would these two even do if ths wasn’t a no disqualifications match?

Rich Russillo: Knowing how they usually operate, probably the same thing but behind the ref’s back. Anyways, neither man is really in a position where they can take control, so once again I believe ths is just a matter of seeing who could get to their feet first. It’s already one thing knowing that they’ve thrown everything at each other, but knowing that these two are willing to go low and play dirty, I think it was only a matter of time before things turned out like this and both men ran out of gas. After all, you can only take so much of this no matter who you are.

James Peters: Both men are slowly pushing themselves back to their feet once again, and-

Rich Russillo: AND JAKE IMMEDIATELY JUMPS AT CHARLIE MARR FOR THE STARMAKER!!!!

James Peters: CHARLIE QUICKLY SHOVED JAKE AWAY, THOUGH!!!! JAKE TURNS AROUND AND RUSHES BACK TOWARDS CHARLIE, BUT NOW CHARLIE GOES FOR THE HEADMASTER RITUAL ONCE AGAIN!!!

Rich Russillo: NO, JAKE DROPS AN ELBOW ONTO THE BACK OF CHARLIE’S HEAD TO PREVENT THE SPINEBUSTER!!!! BOTH MEN AVOID THE DEVASTATING MOVES, AND NOW JAKE HITS CHARLIE MARR WITH A SUPERKICK!!!! JAKE NOW RUNNING THE ROPES-

James Peters: BUT CHARLIE RUNS AFTER HIM, BEFORE TAKING BOTH HIMSELF AND JAKE SMITH OVER THE TOP ROPE WITH A HUGE CLOTHESLINE!!!!!!

Persephone: Well they’re back outside of the ring, so this probably isn’t ending anytime soon. They better at least get some more weapons if they’re gonna keep going.

James Peters: Both men are slow to get back up, but they eventually find their footing, AND THIS ALLOWS CHARLIE TO KNEE JAKE IN THE MIDSECTION! CHARLIE LOOKS FOR ANOTHER STRIKE, BUT JAKE BLOCKS IT BEFORE HITTING CHARLIE WITH A PUNCH RIGHT TO THE JAW, STAGGERING HIM AS CHARLIE STUMBLES TOWARDS THE BARRICADE! Jake now approaching Charlie-

Rich Russillo: BUT CHARLIE JUST GRABBED SOMEONE’S DRINK AND THREW IT AT JAKE!!! JAKE HAD A BUNCH OF CUTS ALL OVER HIS FACE, I THINK THAT’S THE LAST THING HE COULD WANT RIGHT NOW! JAKE COVERS HIS FACE, AND THAT GIVES CHARLIE JUST ENOUGH TIME TO GRAB HIM AND THROW HIM INTO THE STEEL STEPS!!!! The steel steps were knocked over after Jake crashed into them, AND NOW CHARLIE GRABS THE TOP HALF OF THE STEPS BEFORE SLAMMING THEM ON TOP OF JAKE! JAKE IS IN TROUBLE RIGHT NOW!

James Peters: Charlie Marr now beginning to slowly drag Jake back to his feet, and it looks like he has something big in mind! He’s standing in front of the bottom half of the steps, is he planning to powerbomb Jake onto it!?

Rich Russillo: I THINK HE WAS, BUT THAT PLAN MAY HAVE JUST BACKFIRED AS JAKE WAS ABLE TO BACK BODY DROP CHARLIE ONTO THE STEEL STEPS!!! HOW IS JAKE STILL SURVIVING!?

Persephone: After everything that’s happened so far, can’t you say that for both of them at this point!? They both suck, so I’m actually surprised this match isn’t already over.

James Peters: Jake quickly grabs Charlie before sending him back into the ring, and now he follows behind before quickly climbing onto the middle rope! JAKE GOES FOR HELL ABOVE ON CHARLIE MARR!!!!

Rich Russillo: NO!!! CHARLIE RUSHED TO THE TURNBUCKLES, FORCING JAKE TO HAVE TO JUMP OVER HIM!!!! JAKE LANDS ON HIS FEET, BUT THIS TIME IT’S CHARLIE THAT PULLS HIMSELF ONTO THE MIDDLE ROPE!!!! DEATH OR GLORY! THE DIVING EUROPEAN UPPERCUT!!!!!

James Peters: ***STARMAKER!!!!!!!!!!!!***

Rich Russillo: JAKE SMITH JUST CAUGHT CHARLIE MARR RIGHT OUT OF THE SKY WITH THE STARMAKER!!!!!! NO WAY!!!!! JAKE IS QUICK TO TURN CHARLIE OVER AND COVER HIM!!! WE HAVE A NEW EAW WORLD CHAMPION!!!!!

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

James Peters: THIS TIME IT’S CHARLIE MARR THAT GETS THE SHOULDER UP, AND HE IMMEDIATELY ROLLS OUT OF THE RING!!!

Rich Russillo: JAKE TRIED TO STOP HIM, BUT CHARLIE IS ABLE TO ROLL UNDER THE BOTTOM ROPE AND FALL OUT OF THE RING!! JAKE CAN’T BELIEVE THAT CHARLIE MANAGED TO KICK OUT OF THE STARMAKER THIS LATE INTO THE MATCH, BUT HE NEEDS TO FOCUS IF HE WANTS TO WIN THE EAW WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP! AT THIS POINT IN THE MATCH, THIS IS STILL ANYONE’S MATCH TO WIN!

Persephone: Charlie was lucky to still be that close to the apron. There’s still weapons in the ring that Jake probably would’ve used if he didn’t get out of there. Jake’s exiting the ring now to go after Charlie, and he drags Charlie up before-

(*CRASH!*)

James Peters: CHARLIE MARR JUST SMASHED A LIGHT TUBE OVER THE HEAD OF JAKE SMITH!!!!! CHARLIE TOOK ADVANTAGE OF BEING DOWN AT RINGSIDE BY GRABBING WHATEVER WAS UNDER THE RING, AND IT JUST SO HAPPENED TO BE THAT LIGHT TUBE!! JAKE FALLS DOWN AT RINGSIDE, AND ONCE AGAIN IT LOOKS LIKE THIS MATCH COULD END WITH ANY WINNER!

Rich Russillo: Jake is slowly crawling over to the barricade, while Charlie is forced to use the apron to begin trying to pull himself up. These two have put each other through hell, and it looks like that’s still not going to stop! Slowly but surely, both men are making their way back to their feet, AND NOW CHARLIE MARR RUSHES OVER TO JAKE- BUT JAKE IS ABLE TO DELIVER A BACK ELBOW! CHARLIE STUMBLES BACK, AND NOW JAKE LOOKS TO CAPITALIZE, BUT CHARLIE KNOCKS JAKE BACK WITH A KICK TO THE MIDSECTION!

James Peters: The fight between these two continues, and it looks like they’ve made their way over towards the ramp! Jake and Charlie are trading punches right now, and at this point I feel like one wrong move could lead to the end of this match for them! Both men continue to put everything they have into these strikes, BUT JAKE MAKES CHARLIE STAGGER WITH A HUGE ELBOW STRIKE!! CHARLIE IS ON SPAGHETTI LEGS, AND I DON’T THINK HE HAS ANYTHING LEFT IN HIM! JAKE HAS AN OPPORTUNITY, AND HE’S NOW LOOKING TO FOLLOW IT UP WITH A STEP-UP ENZUIGIRI-

Rich Russillo: CHARLIE DUCKS UNDER IT THOUGH, AND NOW HE QUICKLY SCOOPS JAKE UP BEFORE DELIVERING A FRONT POWERSLAM ONTO THE STEEL PLATE ON THE RAMP!!!!

Persephone: Yikes. Jake was just planted onto the steel plate, and Charlie doesn’t even look like he’s finished. He’s pulling Jake up and going for something else.

James Peters: That’s right! Charlie is lifting Jake on his shoulders, AND HE DROPS JAKE RIGHT BACK ONTO THE STEEL PLATE, THIS TIME WITH A FALLING POWERBOMB!!!! CHARLIE IS THROWING EVERYTHING AT JAKE, AND BY NOW JAKE JUST LOOKS LIFELESS!!!! CHARLIE SENDS JAKE BACK INTO THE RING, AND THERE’S JUST NO WAY HE HAS ANYTHING LEFT! WE MAY BE SEEING THE END OF THIS MATCH VERY SOON!

Rich Russillo: CHARLIE SLIDES INTO THE RING AS JAKE STUMBLES BACK TO HIS FEET, AND NOW THERE’S THE CHARING CROSS!!!!!

James Peters: NO!!!!! JAKE JUST PULLED THE REFEREE INTO CHARLIE’S PATH, JUST LIKE WE SAW EARLY IN THE MATCH!!!!!

Persephone: This guy just can’t catch a break.

Rich Russillo: CHARLIE MANAGED TO STOP HIMSELF, BUT JAKE USED THE OPPORTUNITY TO ROLL BACK OUT OF THE RING ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE!!!! JAKE KNEW HE WASN’T IN GOOD CONDITION, SO HE DISTRACTED CHARLIE JUST TO GET OUT OF HARM’S WAY!!! Jake now slowly making his way over to the timekeepers area as Charlie chases after him-

James Peters: BUT JAKE JUST GRABBED A MICROPHONE, TURNING AND HITTING CHARLIE IN THE FACE WITH IT!!!! CHARLIE FALLS BACK TO A KNEE, AND NOW JAKE QUICKLY GRABS THE RING BELL BEFORE HITTING IT OVER CHARLIE’S HEAD, DROPPING CHARLIE!!!!! Jake definitely just saved himself, and he knows it! The question is, after everything these two have already done to each other, what more can be done? What do these two have left to offer tonight?

Rich Russillo: Jake Smith makes his way back under the ring as Charlie begins to recover, AND JUST AS CHARLIE GOT BACK UP AND WENT AFTER JAKE, JAKE WAS ABLE TO PULL OUT A SLEDGEHAMMER AND HIT HIM IN THE MIDSECTION WITH IT! Jake now sending Charlie back into the ring, and Jake slides back into the ring himself. Charlie slowly finds his way back up, AND NOW JAKE LOOKS TO TAKE HIS HEAD OFF WITH A SLEDGEHAMMER SHOT TO THE HEAD!!!!

Persephone: OH COME ON! CHARLIE GRABBED THE CHAIN FROM EARLIER AND USED THAT TO BLOCK THE SLEDGEHAMMER!!!! WE WERE SO CLOSE TO SEEING A DECAPITATION, BUT INSTEAD CHARLIE KICKS JAKE IN THE GUT!

James Peters: CHARLIE NOW LIFTING JAKE UP, AND HE SENDS THE GRAND RAMPAGE WINNER INTO THAT EXPOSED TURNBUCKLE FROM EARLIER WITH A LAWN DART!!!! JAKE DROPS DOWN ONTO THE MAT, MEANWHILE CHARLIE IS FORCED TO GRAB ONTO THE ROPES TO REMAIN ON HIS FEET! We all know how much this match has taken out of them, but by this point you have to wonder whether or not it’s almost over. Charlie Marr is making his way up to the top rope, and it looks like this might be it!

Rich Russillo: CHARLIE MARR DIVES OFF THE TOP ROPE!!!! SIN SALIDA!!!!!!!

James Peters: IT DOESN’T CONNECT!!!! JAKE AVOIDS THE DIVING DOUBLE FOOT STOMP, AND NOW HE PUSHES HIMSELF BACK TO HIS FEET BEFORE RUNNING THE ROPES WHILE CHARLIE IS STILL DOWN ON HIS KNEES!!!! KAIOKEN!!!!!

Rich Russillo: IT DOESN’T CONNECT!!!! CHARLIE DUCKED UNDER IT BEFORE GRABBING THAT CHAIN FROM BEFORE, AND NOW HE USES IT TO APPLY THE REAR NAKED CHOKE, WHICH CHARLIE CAUSES TRANQUILITY!!!!! IS CHARLIE ABOUT TO FORCE JAKE TO TAP OUT IN A PAIN FOR PRIDE MAIN EVENT!??

Persephone: AS FUNNY AS THAT’D BE ITS NOT GONNA HAPPEN, BECAUSE AS THEY DROPPED TO THE MAT, JAKE ROLLED OVER CHARLIE AND GOT THE SHOULDERS DOWN!

OOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

TTTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-

James Peters: CHARLIE KICKS OUT, AND JAKE GRABS CHARLIE BEFORE… APPLYING THE REX LOCK!?!???

Rich Russillo: WE ALL KNOW THE HISTORY CHARLIE MARR HAS WITH REX MCALLISTER, WHERE MOST RECENTLY REX WAS CAME EXTREMELY CLOSE TO ENDING CHARLIE’S REIGN AS CHAMPION!!! JAKE IS NOW UTILIZING REX’S OWN SUBMISSION TO FINISH THE JOB!!!!! IS CHARLIE GONNA HAVE TO TAP OUT!?

Persephone: Or mock him for missing out on this match because Rex sucks and Jake’s annoying like that. Either one works.

James Peters: WHATEVER THE CASE, THERE ARE NO ROPE BREAKS SO CHARLIE’S GONNA HAVE TO FIND HIS WAY OUT OF THIS SUBMISSION IF HE DOESN’T WANT TO LOSE HIS CHAMPIONSHIP!!! WITH A SUBMISSION LIKE THIS, I DON’T THINK CHARLIE HAS MUCH TIME TO MAKE A DECISION! WE MAY VERY WELL HAVE A NEW EAW WORLD CHAMPION SOON, AS I’M NOT SURE HOW LONG CHARLIE WILL BE ABLE TO ENDURE THIS!

Rich Russillo: CHARLIE IS DRAGGING HIMSELF AND JAKE TOWARDS THE ROPES, BUT HE KNOWS THAT THERE’S NO ROPE BREAKS IN THIS MATCH! WHAT IS CHARLIE’S PLAN!? IT NEEDS TO BE SOMETHING GOOD, BECAUSE THIS LATE INTO THE MATCH THERE’S JUST NO WAY HE CAN ACTUALLY HANG ON MUCH LONGER!!

Persephone: I don’t know if it’ll be more embarrassing for Charlie or for Rex if Jake makes him tap out to this.

James Peters: WELL WE’D HAVE TO MAKE IT THAT FAR FIRST, AND FROM THE LOOKS OF IT, CHARLIE ISN’T GIVING UP!!!

Rich Russillo: CHARLIE MAKES IT TO THE BOTTOM ROPE KNOWING THE STIPULATION, BUT INSTEAD OF EXPECTING OF A BREAK, HE ACTUALLY PULLS HIMSELF UNDER THE BOTTOM ROPE AND OUT OF THE RING, FREEING HIMSELF FROM THE SUBMISSION!!!! CHARLIE MARR IS STILL IN THIS MATCH, AND ALL JAKE CAN DO IS QUICKLY SLIDE OUT OF THE RING BEFORE CHARLIE HAS MUCH TIME TO RECOVER! Jake now grabbing Charlie-

James Peters: BUT CHARLIE JUST PICKED UP ONE OF THE BROKEN PIECES OF THE LIGHT TUBE USED EARLIER, AND HE STABS JAKE IN THE LEG WITH IT!!!!!

Rich Russillo: JAKE DROPS DOWN TO A SEATED POSITION AS HE HOLDS HIS LEG IN PAIN, AND THIS HAS ALLOWED CHARLIE TO BUY SOME VALUABLE TIME AND RECOVER FROM THE DAMAGE HE’S TAKEN! JAKE IS FORCED TO PULL OUT THAT SHARD BEFORE IT BECOMES AN ISSUE LATER- BUT LOOK AT THAT!

Persephone: HA! CHARLIE GRABBED THE SLEDGEHAMMER WHILE JAKE WAS WORRYING ABOUT HIS LEG, AND CHARLIE JUST BASHED JAKE’S HEAD IN! JAKE’S GOTTA BE DEAD, RIGHT!?!? PLEASE TELL ME HE IS!!!

James Peters: If he was I think this match would’ve just gotten called off, but even so… I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s close. At the end of the day that was a sledgehammer shot to the head, and Charlie clearly had more to offer. Charlie lifts Jake onto the apron before sliding into the ring, and honestly I’m not even sure what Charlie is planning at this point. He slowly drags Jake up before pulling his head through the ropes… WAIT A SECOND!!!

Rich Russillo: THE LAST JUDGMENT!!!!!!! CHARLIE MARR WITH A ROPE HUNG DDT ON JAKE SMITH, DROPPING HIM HEAD FIRST ONTO THE MAT DIRECTLY AFTER HITTING HIM WITH THE SLEDGEHAMMER!!!!! CHARLIE MARR WITH THE COVER, AND THIS HAS TO BE IT!!!!

OOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!

TTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

TTTTTTTTHHHHHRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!

James Peters: JAKE KICKS OUT!!!! JAKE KICKED OUT JUST BEFORE THE REFEREE HIT THREE!!!! HOW!?!? HOW THE HELL DID THAT NOT PUT JAKE SMITH AWAY AFTER EVERYTHING THAT’S HAPPENED!? HE SHOULDN’T HAVE ANYTHING LEFT!

Rich Russillo: CHARLIE MARR IS FURIOUS, AND I CAN’T BLAME HIM! HOW DID JAKE SURVIVE THAT!? Charlie Marr rolls out of the ring, and he begins digging under the ring for something else. I’m not even sure what else Charlie could be looking for, but at this point I don’t think doubting him is a good idea, either. Charlie now finding what he’s looking for as Jake slowly begins to stir, and…

Persephone: Is that an old photograph of Jake with his ex-wife? Where did Charlie even get that, and why is it still in a frame??

James Peters: SPEAKING OF THE FRAME, CHARLIE JUST HIT JAKE RIGHT IN THE FACE WITH IT!!!! It looks like glass was used to protect the photograph, and Charlie is about to make use of that! Charlie slides back into the ring while Jake is still down on the mat, and he places the photograph under Jake’s head… BEFORE BEGINNING TO REPEATEDLY STOMP ON THE BACK OF JAKE’S HEAD, SENDING JAKE’S FACE INTO THE GLASS COVERING THE PICTURE!!! THE FRAME IS BEING DESTROYED BY JAKE’S FACE RIGHT NOW!!!

Persephone: By the time Charlie’s done, I don’t think there’s gonna be much left of that picture frame. I wonder if he found this while doing that Dateline thing. Jake would definitely be the type to forget to get rid of that.

Rich Russillo: Charlie finally pulls Jake off of the photograph, and just look at it now. Not only is the glass completely shattered, but the photograph is covered in Jake’s blood.

James Peters: Charlie now slowly dragging Jake back to his feet, and I think Charlie is finally ready to end this. These two have put each other through hell for a while now, but it looks like this one might be over! Charlie Marr hooks Jake’s arms… FOR THE QUEEN IS DEAD, RIGHT ON TOP OF THE BLOODY PHOTOGRAPH!!!!

Rich Russillo: NO!!! JAKE KNOCKS CHARLIE BACK WITH AN ELBOW, BEFORE KICKING HIS LEG OUT FROM UNDER HIM!! JAKE NOW JUMPING ONTO THE MIDDLE TURNBUCKLE, AND HE HITS CHARLIE WITH HELL ABOVE!!!!!!! HELL ABOVE CONNECTS ON CHARLIE MARR, BUT JAKE DOESN’T STOP THERE!!

James Peters: JAKE PULLS CHARLIE TOWARDS THE EAW WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP, WHICH WAS STILL IN THE RING FROM EARLIER, BEFORE DROPPING CHARLIE WITH HIS OWN FINISHING MOVE!!!!! THE QUEEN IS DEAD ONTO THE EAW WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP, BY JAKE SMITH!!!!!! JAKE TURNS CHARLIE OVER, BEFORE GOING FOR THE COVER FOR THE FINAL TIME!!!!!!

OOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

TTTTTTTHHHHHHRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!

Rich Russillo: CHARLIE MARR IS STILL IN THIS MATCH!!!!! EVEN AFTER HAVING HIS HEAD DRIVEN INTO THE EAW WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP, THIS MATCH IS NOT OVER!!!! BY THIS POINT, I THINK THESE TWO HAVE THROWN EVERYTHING THEY POSSIBLY COULD AT EACH OTHER! I genuinely don’t know what more they could do! If all this hasn’t been enough to pick up the victory, what WILL be enough!?

Persephone: Well they can always just kill each other. As long as this match is still going, that’s still an option.

James Peters: At this point, all Jake can do is shake his head. He slowly pulls himself back to his feet, before lifting Charlie Marr onto the top turnbuckle. Jake clearly has something big on his mind here, and with that said, if Charlie Marr doesn’t get back into this, this match may be ending very soon.

Rich Russillo: Charlie has been placed on top, and now Jake Smith begins climbing up, meeting Charlie up top! Wait a second… OH NO! THAT’S WHAT HE’S GOING FOR!!!! JAKE IS ON THE MIDDLE ROPE HOLDING ONTO CHARLIE…

Persephone: :oh: JAKE IS GOING FOR ***STARBREAKER***!!!!!!

James Peters: BUT CHARLIE MARR DOESN’T LET IT CONNECT!!!!!

Rich Russillo: THIS TIME, IT’S CHARLIE THAT LANDS THE LOW BLOW!!!!! THAT WAS A TERRIBLE AREA TO PUNCH JAKE, BUT CHARLIE HAS JUST SAVED THE MATCH FOR HIMSELF, AS HE SHOVES JAKE OVER THE TOP ROPE AND SENDS HIM TUMBLING ALL THE WAY DOWN TO RINGSIDE!!!!!!

James Peters: JAKE IS DOWN AT RINGSIDE, AND NOW CHARLIE REPOSITIONS HIMSELF UP TOP, BEFORE DIVING OFF OF THE TOP ROPE AND CONNECTING WITH ***SIN SALIDA***!!!!!! THE DOUBLE FOOT STOMP BY CHARLIE MARR, SIN SALIDA CONNECTS WITH JAKE SMITH ALL THE WAY DOWN AT RINGSIDE!!!!!!

Rich Russillo: YEAH, BUT THE PROBLEM IS THAT THERE’S JUST NO WAY CHARLIE CAN CAPITALIZE!!!! IF CHARLIE WAS ABLE TO GO FOR THE COVER I THINK THIS MATCH WOULD BE OVER, BUT HE JUST CAN’T AFTER THE DAMAGE HE’S TAKEN! THAT DIVE TOOK THE LAST LITTLE BIT OF STRENGTH HE HAD LEFT IN HIM!

Persephone: Charlie looks like he’s about 65. I’m surprised all the bones in his legs didn’t shatter on impact. Actually, maybe they did and that’s why Charlie hasn’t gotten back up. The referee should probably go make sure so we’re not sitting here forever.

James Peters: His bones aren’t broken, as far as we know at least. Charlie is slowly using the apron to pull himself back up, so he’s not completely done yet. This match can’t continue much longer though, and I believe Charlie knows this. Charlie slowly digs under the ring before pulling out a small bag, and now he sends Jake back into the ring before quickly following behind! Charlie uses the ropes to get back up, and now he opens the bag before dumping a bunch of thumbtacks in the ring! With everything else they’ve used it was only a matter of time until we saw these I guess.

Rich Russillo: Charlie lifts Jake up, AND HE JUST DELIVERS A SNAP SUPLEX ONTO THE THUMBTACKS! Charlie keeps it simple as he drops Jake onto those thumbtacks, and with Jake down, Charlie begins making his way back up top! After everything that’s happened, it looks like the EAW World Championship will be leaving in Charlie Marr’s hands once again! CHARLIE DIVES OFF THE TOP ROPE FOR A SECOND SIN SALIDA!!!!!!!

James Peters: JAKE BARELY GOT OUT OF THE WAY!!!!!! JAKE AVOIDS SIN SALIDA!!!! CHARLIE ROLLS BACK TO HIS FEET AS JAKE SOMEHOW IS ABLE TO PULL HIMSELF BACK UP, AND-

Rich Russillo: STARMAKER!!!!!!! JAKE DROPS CHARLIE MARR WITH A STARMAKER ONTO THE THUMBTACKS, CATCHING HIM OFF GUARD JUST AS CHARLIE WAS RUNNING BACK TOWARDS HIM!!!!!

James Peters: BOTH MEN ARE DOWN AFTER LANDING ON THE THUMBTACKS, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE EVEN IN THE RING, JAKE IS IN NO CONDITION TO GO FOR THE COVER!!!! JAKE WAS JUST HIT WITH SIN SALIDA AT RINGSIDE AND THEN DROPPED ONTO THOSE THUMBTACKS, IT’S AMAZING THAT HE CAN EVEN MOVE AT ALL RIGHT NOW! Once again, it looks like this match may be saved strictly because of the damage these two have already done to each other!

Rich Russillo: Jake turns to try and pin Charlie, BUT CHARLIE IS BARELY ABLE TO ROLL OUT TO THE APRON, PREVENTING JAKE FROM GOING FOR THE COVER!!!! So much time has passed that Charlie had enough left just to roll away from Jake! Jake punches the mat seeing that Charlie was able to escape, and I don’t think you can blame him for being upset right now. This is a terrible time for him to be unable to cover Charlie! It’s like we said before. Any big move could likely end the match right now!

Persephone: Jake somehow managed to get back to his feet, and now he’s dragging Charlie Marr back into the ring. It looks like Jake’s the one heading to the top rope now, but I don’t really know why. Has Jake ever even done a diving move in his life? I didn’t think he knew how.

James Peters: Well Jake clearly has something big planned as Charlie Marr slowly pushes himself back to his feet! Jake is up top… AND NOW HE DIVES OFF THE TOP ROPE FOR A DIVING VARIATION OF THE STARMAKER-

Rich Russillo: BUT THERE’S CHARLIE MARR WITH A JUMPING KNEE TO THE BACK OF JAKE’S HEAD!!!!! THE KNEE TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD CONNECTS, AND CHARLIE DOESN’T STOP THERE!!!! HE QUICKLY LIFTS JAKE UP, BEFORE DROPPING HIM HEADFIRST ONTO THE THUMBTACKS WITH A PILEDRIVER!!!!!! HUGE MOVE BY CHARLIE MARR- BUT LOOK!!!!

James Peters: WITH HIS LAST BIT OF STRENGTH CHARLIE PUSHES HIMSELF UP, PULLING JAKE UP BEFORE DROPPING HIM HEAD FIRST ONTO THE MAT WITH THE QUEEN IS DEAD!!!!!!! THE QUEEN IS DEAD CONNECTS ON JAKE SMITH, AND CHARLIE IS BARELY ABLE TO TURN JAKE OVER, PINNING HIM TO LEAVE PAIN FOR PRIDE WITH HIS EAW WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!!!!!

OOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!

TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!

Rich Russillo: I CAN’T EVEN BELIEVE I’M SAYING THIS, BUT THIS MATCH IS STILL NOT OVER!!!!!!! JAKE SMITH ONCE AGAIN GETS THE SHOULDER UP!!! JAKE IS STILL IN THIS MATCH, AND CHARLIE MARR IS STILL IN DANGER OF LOSING HIS EAW WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!!

Persephone: Look at Charlie’s face! He can’t believe this match is still going after hitting yet another finishing move. That was after a piledriver and a knee to the back of the head, too. Are we sure Jake actually has anything inside his head?

James Peters: Charlie Marr slowly rolls out of the ring before digging a huge glass panel out from under the ring, and it looks like he already knows what he’s gonna do with it! He slides back into the ring before setting it up in the corner of the ring, Charlie now grabbing Jake, and Jake right now just looks completely lifeless. Charlie now pulling him up, AND HE JUST THROWS JAKE THROUGH THE GLASS, SHATTERING IT ON IMPACT!!!! CHARLIE IS JUST LOOKING TO TEAR JAKE APART, AND NOW LOOK! HE’S PICKING UP ONE OF THE SHARDS OF GLASS, AND I THINK WE CAN ALL GUESS WHY!

Rich Russillo: Charlie drags Jake back up to his feet by the hair while holding up the glass shard, AND NOW CHARLIE SWINGS AT JAKE-

James Peters: BUT JAKE IS ABLE TO BLOCK CHARLIE’S ARM BEFORE HITTING HIM WITH A HEADBUTT!!!!! CHARLIE STUMBLES BACK, AND NOW JAKE PICKS UP A GLASS SHARD OF HIS OWN BEFORE CUTTING CHARLIE’S ARM JUST AS CHARLIE WENT TO ATTACK AGAIN!!!! CHARLIE DROPS THE GLASS SHARD AND HOLDS HIS ARM IN PAIN, AND NOW JAKE CONNECTS WITH A BICYCLE KICK! CHARLIE DROPS DOWN TO A KNEE, AND JAKE JUST GAVE HIMSELF SOME MUCH NEEDED ROOM TO BREATHE!

Rich Russillo: Jake drops the glass shard before picking up the barbed wire baseball bat, AND HE SWINGS THAT AT CHARLIE, BUT CHARLIE DUCKS UNDER IT BEFORE USING HIS GOOD ARM TO HIT JAKE WITH A FOREARM! JAKE STUMBLES BACK, DROPPING THE BAT, BUT HE’S ABLE TO RETALIATE WITH A FOREARM TO THE JAW!!!! CHARLIE STUMBLES BACK, AND NOW JAKE TAKES THIS AN ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY TO STRIKE AS HE SWINGS AT CHARLIE-

Persephone: But that was a dumb move, because Charlie was able to duck under it before hitting Jake with an uppercut. These two are moving at like half the speed they were earlier.

James Peters: Charlie now grabbing Jake, AND HE LIFTS JAKE UP FOR A POWERBOMB, BUT JAKE IS ABLE TO SLIP OUT OF CHARLIE MARR’S GRASP!!! JAKE NOW WITH A SUPERKICK, BEFORE KICKING CHARLIE’S LEG OUT FROM UNDER HIM!!!!! JAKE NOW RUNNING THE ROPES, ONCE AGAIN LOOKING FOR KAIOKEN!!!!!

Rich Russillo: CHARLIE IS ONCE AGAIN ABLE TO DUCK UNDER IT THOUGH!!! JAKE QUICKLY TURNS AROUND- BUT CHARLIE POPS JAKE UP BEFORE DROPPING HIM ONTO THE MAT WITH THE HEADMASTER RITUAL!!!!!! THE SPINEBUSTER CONNECTS ON JAKE SMITH, AND I THINK HE’S DONE!!!

Persephone: He just landed on a bunch of broken glass and thumbtacks. Of course he’s done.

James Peters: Jake is out. He already lost tons of blood, and now once again he takes that devastating spinebuster! Charlie Marr pushes himself back to his feet, and he knows that this is it!! This has been an amazing match, with these two throwing everything, including other people, at each other. However, Charlie Marr is dragging Jake Smith back to his feet, and I think it’s clear that he’s ready to put this one away! CHARLIE MARR RUNS THE ROPES, AND NOW HE ENDS THIS WITH THE CHARING CROSS!!!!!!

Rich Russillo: BUT IT DOESN’T CONNECT!!!!!!!

James Peters: JAKE DUCKED UNDER THE CHARING CROSS BEFORE RUNNING TO THE CORNER OF THE RING, STEPPING FROM THE MIDDLE ROPE TO THE TOP ROPE BEFORE FINALLY JUMPING OFF!!!!!!

Rich Russillo: ***STARMAKER!!!!!!!!**** THE STARMAKER CONNECTS ON CHARLIE MARR, JUST WHEN CHARLIE WAS ON THE VERGE OF PUTTING JAKE AWAY WITH THE CHARING CROSS!!!!! HOW DID JAKE PULL THAT OFF!?!? HOW DOES HE EVEN HAVE ANYTHING LEFT!?!?

James Peters: Just like at the start of this match, Jake was able to avoid the Charing Cross and hit the Starmaker, only this time Charlie couldn’t use the referee to save him! That was a devastating Starmaker, directly onto everything these two have been fighting on top of for the last few minutes! Thumbtacks, glass and more, Jake just dropped Charlie right on top of it all! After everything we’ve seen tonight it’s incredible that Jake was even able to do that, but will it be enough to put Charlie down!?

Persephone: I don’t care about any of that. The real question is why isn’t Jake even pinning him???? He just hit his big move, right??? Does this guy WANT to lose???

James Peters: No, that’s not it!!! Jake just rushed over to that chain from earlier, and he’s wrapping it around his leg! Jake clearly has a plan in mind, and that plan is to make sure Charlie Marr is not able to get back up! Jake has the chain wrapped around his leg, and now look!

Rich Russillo: JAKE BEGINS RUNNING THE ROPES JUST AS CHARLIE IS ABLE TO LIFT HIS HEAD UP, AND THERE IT IS!!!!! KAIOKEN, THE KNEE TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD CONNECTS WITH THAT STEEL CHAIN WRAPPED AROUND HIS LEG!!!!!!!

James Peters: CHARLIE WAS JUST HIT RIGHT IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD WITH STEEL, AND JAKE WASTES NO TIME!!!!! WITH EVERYTHING HE HAS LEFT, HE TURNS CHARLIE OVER AND HOOKS THE LEGS!!!!!!

OOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TTTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TTTTTTTHHHHHHRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Ding! Ding! Ding!)

Bella Braxton: Here is your winner…. AND THE NEEEEWWWWWWWWWW EAW WORLD CHAMPION……… JJAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE SSMMMMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

(‘Stop Breathing’ hits, and the crowd explodes seeing the match come to an end. Most of the fans in attendance are booing, but after the performance by both Elitists there’s some cheers as Jake slowly rolls off of Charlie Marr. Both men are covered in blood, and neither man is able to stand as the referee retrieves the EAW World Championship.)

James Peters: WE HAVE A NEW EAW WORLD CHAMPION, AND HIS NAME IS JAKE SMITH!!!! JAKE WASN’T EVEN A MEMBER OF VOLTAGE’S ROSTER THROUGHOUT THIS SEASON, BUT AFTER WINNING THE GRAND RAMPAGE MATCH, HIS ROAD TO PAIN FOR PRIDE HAS LED TO HIM ENDING CHARLIE MARR’S REIGN AS CHAMPION!!!!

Rich Russillo: Neither man held anything back tonight, and they’ve both proven that they’re willing to go low in order to win. The only question is who was able to take things a step further and actually pick up the victory, and it looks like we finally have our answer! Jake Smith is the EAW World Champion!

Persephone: Wait… No. He’s not staying on Voltage, is he? Please no. Oh God no.

James Peters: To think Jake almost missed out on this match thanks to Charlie Marr getting him arrested. In the end I think it’s safe to say things worked out perfectly for Jake, as he leaves Pain for Pride as a two-time World Champion!

Rich Russillo: CONGRATULATIONS TO JAKE SMITH, THE NEW EAW WORLD CHAMPION!!!!

(As ‘Stop Breathing’ continues, Jake Smith slowly pushes himself back to his feet, taking the EAW World Championship from the referee. Through all the blood, a grin is seen on the face of Jake after once again becoming a World Champion. Jake Smith stands in the middle of the ring, raising the EAW World Championship. This is the final image as the camera begins fading to black.)
