Pain For Pride XVII – Day 3

(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 Hollywood Studios and The Magic Hat.)

Narrator: After two days of Pain For Pride, are we ready for the final night? In a weekend so far that has seen victory, defeat, triumph and torment. The opportunity to become a champion, some stood tall and walked away with the gold.

(The footage transitions to SOSA Henderson winning the 24/7 Battle Royal, Valerie Hellstorm raising her arms in victory. Veena Adams with a smirk on her face holding the National Elite Championship. It shows BRAE holding up the New Breed Championship, Jon Kelton on his knees with his arm raised. It then switches to Nurse Goldstein carrying a smiling Dr. Bethany Blue, Cy Henderson shrugging his shoulders in victory, to Jake Smith hoisting up the EAW World Championship proud of what he has done. )

Narrator: While others fell only to watch it seized by those they battled. They don’t add Pain before the Pride for any reason.

(It transitions to many of the other participants being eliminated, and finally Cody Maverick in shock that he didn’t win. It then shows Brianna Hill angry at the loss. Michael Machina looking on as BRAE holds the title he once had, then Miku Sakai throwing a tantrum while Raven Roberts looked on in disappointment. Daryl Kinkade slamming the mats in frustration. Adam Lucas lowering his head, unable to deliver the killing blow, to Limmy Monaghan leaning against the ropes shaking his head, to finally Charlie Marr looking on while Jake Smith celebrated.

Narrator: What will night three bring? The entire field is set. Could we see the champions rise? For some they have never lost in this event.

(Minerva is shown raising the Universal Women’s Championship, The Jaded Hearts both smile at one another wearing the Unified Tag Team Championship, KASAI with the Specialist title, over her shoulder, and Myles with the World Heavyweight Championship around his waist.)

Narrator: Or can their challengers do the impossible?

(The footage transitions to Milli Banks and Hikari Kanno. Then it has The British Invasion and NICHOLISM. It switches to Mia Santoro and Usagi Senshi, to Jamie O’Hara pointing at the camera.)

Narrator: But not all are for championships, One is for the opportunity to one day wear one.

(The footage shows all the participants in the Cash In The Vault Match from ARIA to MITSU, to Shinzo Sasaki, to Donovan Duke, to Bea Valentine to finally Princess Candice Blair. The ladder is then shown with the briefcase hanging over it.)

Narrator: And for some it is the most important match of their career, for the power of a brand, and others are legendary clashes of the brave and even the bold.

(It plays Methuselah laughing, while Bronson Daniels is ready to fight, then switches to Drake King staring eye to eye with Andre Walker.)

Narrator: For two days, we have felt joy, laughter, tears, anger and frustration, but you have shared the moments with the EAW Elitists. This is the home stretch, and what will the last night of the greatest spectacle on earth bring? Simple…. PAIN FOR PRIDE!

(Finally, the aerial coverage flies off Hollywood Studios 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 THREE!

(“Euphoria” by Kendrick Lamar 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 Voltage’s James Peters, Rich Russillo, and Persephone.)

James Peters: THIS IS IT! PAIN FOR PRIDE: KINGDOM NIGHT THREE, WE ARE AT THE HOMESTRETCH AND LOOK AT THE MOMENTS WE HAVE SEEN JUST IN THE LAST TWO DAYS, BUT WE ARE NOT DONE YET!

Persephone: HARD TO TOP LAST NIGHT AND NIGHT ONE! WE HAVE SEEN ALMOST A PUBLIC EXECUTION, WE HAVE SEEN CARRIES END, MARRIAGES DESTROYED, AND NOW TONIGHT WE GET TO SEE THE FINISH LINE! I AM EXCITED BECAUSE IT IS ALMOST OVER!

(The first match graphic of the night appears)

(The camera fades to ringside.)

(‘Dream In Drive’ by Oral Cigarettes begins to play throughout Camping World Stadium. After a moment, ‘The Dreaming Idol’ Hikari Kanno comes out from the back. Hikari is donning a pink, silver and black metallic version of her ring gear topped up with a cropped fuzzy pink jacket. She has her hair dyed in pink and silver in an ombre kind of pattern with her crochet box braids as the design. Hikari takes a moment to soak in the reception of the sold out day three crowd of the Camping World Stadium.)

Bella Braxton: THE FOLLOWING IS YOUR DAY THREE OPENING MATCH AND IT’S A TRIPLE THREAT FOR THE EAW UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPIONSHIP, SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!!!!!!

Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!!!!

Bella Braxton: INTRODUCING THE CHALLENGERS….FIRST…FROM OKINAWA, JAPAN… SHE IS THE 2024 WINNER OF THE ‘SUDDEN DEATH’ GOLD RUSH TOURNAMENT… ‘THE DREAMING IDOL’…HIKARI KANNO!!!!!!!!

James Peters: Hikari Kanno would earn her way into this match after defeating Dr. Bethany Blue, Rex McAllister and Jack Ripley in the finals of the ‘Sudden Death’ Gold Rush Tournament on Voltage. Hikari was recently traded back to the Voltage brand after spending half of her season on the Showdown brand. Now, Hikari has said a few things about her time on Showdown. How she felt like she wasn’t being challenged or showcase the way that someone of her starpower should.

Rich Russillo: Clearly, that’s up to debate. A former Unified Tag Team Champion, Hardcore Champion and she would love to make that a Triple Crown by capturing the Universal Women’s Championship at Pain for Pride! I think that Hikari Kanno is a tremendous athlete. One of the biggest shining stars that we had during the pandemic times in EAW. Someone who was able to hold her own against the likes of Ms. Extreme and Mr. DEDEDE. This young woman was defeating World Champions and their number one contenders within the first few months of this company.

Persephone: This woman would never defeat Luis De La Rosa. I think that it’s a blessing in disguise for Hikari Kanno that she never crossed paths with Luis because Luis would have dragged her by those box braids and thrown her around in the ring. This woman thinks that she’s bigger than she actually is. The moment that she’s not the center of attention, she shuts down like the little bitch that she is.

James Peters: Nothing wrong with holding yourself to a high standard, Seph. Hikari Kanno felt like she wasn’t being given a challenge and as a result, she checked out. She is one of those rare breed of Elitists who needs to find herself constantly challenged or stagnation or lack of motivation will be her worst enemy. But, as we’ve seen since her return, maybe the change of scenery was all that she needed. She defeated three former World Championships to secure her spot in this match up.

Rich Russillo: She could have challenged for the EAW Championship that was won by Jake Smith yesterday. Instead, she did what she’s always done and went the other direction. She found herself in an exchange of words with Milli Banks and that caused her to make her decision as she would point to that Pain for Pride sign as it seemed like Milli Banks versus Minerva was set in stone. Hikari, being a wildcard, decided to change that dream bout between those two women and make it a triple threat.

Persephone: If there’s a match where Hikari Kanno can’t be lazy, it’s this one. We can’t have Showdown Hikari here. We need bad bitch Hikari here.

(The arena lighting then begins to completely shut off, and something begins to show on the titantron while it does.)

(A slideshow esque scene is being unraveled, as scenes from the career of Milli Banks are seen playing out. From her debut in the company, to her proving herself in stellar moments such as her first major win at Territorial Invasion, to her capturing the Specialists Championship. Then from there it goes to more recent moments from this Season, as it shows her winning the Iron Survivor match to get a World Championship opportunity, before then going to a brief recap of her feud with Minerva and Hikari to get to this point.)

(Then, as the lights go back to normal, the sounds of ‘Changed It’ by Lil Wayne & Nicki Minaj are heard playing up. The crowd goes absolutely berserk as they get on their feet for one of the challengers in this match, anxiously awaiting their arrival.)

(But the theme quickly changes, as instead of Milli Banks’ entrance being made to that… we hear the sounds of ‘Moment 4 Life’ by Nicki Minaj which begins to kick in. But it’s not just that either… as **NICKI MINAJ HERSELF** is seen making her way out! The crowd roars as she gets on the microphone, beginning to live perform the song! )

(♫ I fly with the stars in the skies

I am no longer trying to survive

I believe that life is a prize

But to live doesn’t mean you’re alive ♫

♫ Don’t worry ’bout me and who I fire

I get what I desire, it’s my empire

And yes, I call the shots, I am the umpire

I sprinkle holy water upon a vampire ♫

♫ In this very moment, I’m king

In this very moment, I slay Goliath with a sling

This very moment, I bring

Put it on everything that I will retire with the ring ♫

♫ And I will retire with the crown, yes

No, I’m not lucky, I’m blessed, yes

Clap for the heavyweight champ, me ♫)

(The crowd cheers as Milli Banks is then seen making her way out from there. She is seen decked out in Snow White inspired gear for the occasion as she smiles at Nicki and points to her while she’s performing the song. She poses for the crowd to see before soaking in the atmosphere, and she tries her best to be exuberant and energetic like usual, but after everything that has happened it’s clear that her mind is set on this match and this match only. Not sporting the same grin she usually would, it’s clear she is focused and ready for this. As she then begins to make her way down the ramp and toward the ring.)

Bella Braxton: AND HER OPPONENTS, FIRST… FROM BROOKLYN, NEW YORK… WEIGHING IN AT 135 POUNDS… SHE IS ‘THE SUPERNOVA’… MILLI BANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rich Russillo: And here comes Milli Banks, who earned this opportunity back when she won the Iron Survivor match! That was a match featuring former World Champions, Hall of Famers, and even the current EAW World Champion! I believe that alone should tell you just how much of a chance Milli Banks has tonight, but as we all know, for Milli this isn’t just about winning a match.

James Peters: That’s right. Things became personal thanks to Hikari Kanno, and as we all know Minerva had no problem with adding to that with her own attacks. Since then this match has escalated, and I wouldn’t be surprised if we’re about to see a war between these three women.

Persephone: If this is a war I better see as much blood as possible. The last thing I need is any more plain old boring wrestling. I already got too much of that.

James Peters: Anyways Milli Banks is on her way to the ring, and you can see it all from the look on her face. She is ready for this match.

(Milli then makes her way around the ring, to which she eyes members of the front row. There, are her family, as she sees her sister Genesis, her brother Kenny, and her friend Nicole are all in attendance. She hugs each one of them before she stops at an empty seat… which would’ve been the seat of her other sister Gemma, but obviously due to recent events… she’s not present. Her face grows cold because of that, and obviously she’s a little unhappy as she makes her way into the ring.)

(She stares daggers into Hikari Kanno before spinning around, posing at the center of the ring before ripping off her entrance gear and heading toward her corner as the performance begins to come to a close. Then she begins to anxiously wait for the Champion to make her entrance.)

(Everything around the entrance goes dark, some mist starts to form as Romani women and fortune tellers from nearby the city of Cassadaga start to hit their tambourines. They all gather at the top of the stage while playing their musical instruments.)

(After a few moments, around five high school kids wearing white Romani inspired roves all holding a black rose, they start to line up along each side of the rampway, they are the Dr. Phillips High School choir, one of the best in the country. The crowd cheers as they slowly begin to sing in a harmonious tone.)

EAW: The Choir – The push is always part of us…. And gravity’s never a friend! Deciding on who we can trust! And finding our way to crescendo, to the unknown!! We’ll never make it outside! Lest we unlock the past and release. The future that we’ve left to die.

(Sitting on a perch on the stage is a beautiful Grey Owl spreading his wings, he is known as Calibos.)

EAW: The Choir – Don’t give up now, there’s already so much at stake…. ATLAS FALLS, I’ll rise up and carry us all the way!

(The crowd turns their phone flashlights on, filling the stadium with the lights.)

EAW: The Choir – Don’t give up now, there’s already so much at stake. ATLAS FALLS, I’ll rise up and carry us all the way! It won’t pull me down! The weight of impossible days…. I’ll stand tall! I’ll rise up and carry us all the way!

(A young 8 year old girl stands by the Owl Calibos, she holds a white box with a White Rose on it, she is also dressed like a very familiar Universal Women’s Champion, a mini version of her.)

EAW: The Choir – Don’t give up now, there’s already so much at stake! ATLAS FALLS!, I’ll rise up and carry us all the way! It won’t pull me down! The weight of impossible days … I’ll stand tall! I’ll rise up and carry us all the way!

(From the stage a figure slowly starts to ascend through the smoke, it is none other than Minerva with her straightened orange hair, looking beautiful as ever in all white wrestling gear with silver trim. The crowd roars in cheers.)

EAW: The Choir – Don’t give up now, there’s already so much at stake. ATLAS FALLS, I’ll rise up and carry us all the way! It won’t pull me down! The weight of impossible days…. I’ll stand tall! I’ll rise up and carry us all the way!

(Minerva steps out and walks over the young woman and bends to one knee, she already has her gorgeous jacket on, the Universal Women’s Championship around her waist, but the young girl opens the box, she takes out Minerva’s knew spiked white glasses and puts them on her face, then pulls out the hat and places it on Minerva’s head, she then places the rose in the Champions mouth.)

EAW: Chorus – Don’t give up now, there’s already so much at stake. ATLAS FALLS, I’ll rise up and carry us all the way! It won’t pull me down! The weight of impossible days…. I’ll stand tall! I’ll rise up and carry us all the way! ATLAS FALLS! ATLAS FALLS! ATLAS FALLS! ATLAS FALLS!

(Minerva hugs the young girl before she stands back up and holds up arm. Calibos the owl flies across the stage and lands on her arm, she stands there before the choir stops. And a huge explosion of fireworks goes off.)

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

(Blood, Milk, & Skyy” by White Zombie starts to play as the tambourines get louder before the rift hits. The crowd erupts in cheers as Minerva screams out of excitement and energy, she starts slowly walking down the stage, the choir raising their roses.)

Bella Braxton: AND THE THIRD PARTICIPANT! SHE HAILS FROM BUCHAREST, ROMANIA BUT RESIDES IN CASSADAGA, FLORIDA!

(The crowd once again explodes in cheers, a suburb of Orlando.)

Bella Braxton: SHE IS THE 2024 HALL OF FAME INDUCTEE AND THE UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION! “THE BLACK ROSE!” MINERVA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(The stadium is deafening in cheers as Minerva gets to the choir, each passing one they drop the rose to make a path of roses for her to step on toward the ring. Milli Banks looks on, she nods. Hikari Kanno is in her corner looking on, both in respect.)

James Peters: We have seen the maturity and the growth of this young woman for three years now, she is an incredible champion when she has worn a title, she has defended it with the utmost respect and look at her now! This is her biggest challenge, and she has lost her last two championships in these types of matches.

Rich Russillo: That is true, but she has never lost at Pain For Pride, if you are going to defeat Minerva, you better be at your best!

Persephone: Cute entrance, but that is not going to help her win the title, but not like Hikari or Milli can either.

(As Minerva continues to pass through the choir stepping on the roses, she continues to scream at the fans as they scream back in excitement, getting to the end of the ramp, high fiving some in the front row, she then lifts her arm as Calibos flies back to his perch.)

James Peters: I also want to make this note, that young girl that helped Minerva on stage, her name is Savannah Chambers, if the last name sounds familiar, that is Terry Chambers 8 year old daughter. During their last encounter, Minerva found out that Savannah was one of her biggest fans, no matter what she went through with Terry in the past, she invited Savannah here to be a part of her entrance. That is the type of woman Minerva is. A class act.

Rich Russillo: And she wasn’t always that way, but now a Hall of Famer, she is ready to continue her dominance at Pain For Pride! And Minerva is one of the best, she has defeated them all, and this could be no different.

Persephone: Then she needs to show no mercy and go all savage with these women in the ring, Minerva needs to bring back her own inhibitions and follow her friend, the Good Doctor!

James Peters: Stop that.

(She slowly slides into the ring sitting on the apron, she places rose back in her mouth and crawls in, taking off her hat and jacket, she then slams the mat and gets on her knees in the middle of the ring and points to the sold out stadium cheering.)

Crowd: MINERVA!!!!! MINERVA!!!!!! MINERVA!!!!!!

(The champion slams the mats and pops up, glaring at her opponents and looking at the Universal Women’s Championship as it could be for the last time, she hands it to the referee and turns to face her opponents. Waiting for the referee to call for the bell and get the match started.)

(DING! DING! DING!)

(The three women take the opportunity to soak in the reception of the crowd in the Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida. Hikari Kanno. Milli Banks. Minerva. The Universal Women’s World Championship on the line. Each of them looked at the completely sold out night three crowd. The energy is still full of electricity like it was for the opening match on Friday afternoon.)

(The camera pans to Hikari Kanno who has had a whirlwind of a season. The so-called ‘Wayward Daughter’ who began her season on the Showdown brand. A woman who had aspirations of becoming World Champion. Something that people were expecting out of her, but a few setbacks, have gotten in the way of costing her months of her career. A woman who was poised for greatness. One-half of a tag team, which skyrocketed to championship glory in the first month of their run. Something that she expected to continue on when the reign ended two years ago at this very event. Her road to this stage has not been the easiest. The first half of the season has not been the easiest on her. A feeling of stagnation. A lack of motivation which had crept upon her. A woman with the desire to be challenged to the most elite level.)

(The move to Voltage brand provided the former idol with an opportunity to begin a clean slate. To perform at the level that she had with the likes of Mr. DEDEDE and Ms. Extreme. To give her a sense of competition that she was desperately waiting to get her hands on. To resume her journey to become World Champion once more. ‘Sudden Death’ Gold Rush was her opportunity to do that. Her chances seemed slim with facing three former World Champions, but it was the strength, heart and determination of the joshi, which made her overcome the three other World Champions and stamp her ticket to Pain for Pride and compete for the Universal Women’s Championship.)

(The camera pans to Milli Banks. The former gymnast who found herself banned from the sport for her unruly behavior. This company was her last shot at making it at a sport. Arrived with a chip on her shoulder. It wasn’t until last season, where the fans began to become sympathetic with her struggles with the Queen Bees. Eventually, it led to Milli being seen in a hero type of role. Something that she didn’t see happening at all. The stone-cold former gymnast began to display her fighting spirit. Her drive to be a champion, which led her to become the Specialists Champion. A title that she would come so close to breaking the record set by Hall of Famers like Andrea Valentine and Brody Sparks. A woman who had come closer to that goal than others in the past couple of years.)

(After that, it was to venture off and entertain the possibility of becoming a World Champion. One that was not easy on her part as she found herself crossing paths with the likes of Ms. Extreme, getting herself involved in what was a personal situation between the two. A match where Milli Banks would secure a huge victory over the eventual Hall of Famer. Something that should have put her front in line for a World Championship match, right? No. Milli found herself in opportunities to earn her shot at the title. She fell short at King of Elite. Still, she did not waiver. She continued to work on herself and eventually, it led to Operation: Doomsday, where she would find herself in a similar situation as Hikari Kanno, facing former World Champions in the ‘Iron Survivor’ Challenge. She would overcome all of that as she had the opportunity to face any World Champion in the palm of her hands. Eventually, it would be Minerva, who she would set her sights too.)

(Lastly, the camera pans to the champion herself, Minerva. Minerva, a strong and dominant champion, won the Iconic Cup for a second time in her career. Just like with her first stint with the cup, it didn’t take long until she found herself ready to cash in the opportunity. Unlike the first one, it wasn’t due to the spontaneous cash in, but she wanted to prepare herself for the monster that Kassidy Heart was. She announced it beforehand, which may have not been seen as the smartest decision. But, Minerva knew her capabilities and felt confident about her chances. At Road to Redemption, she would do the rare thing with getting a victory over a powerful Kassidy Heart. Since then, her reign has gone uphill.)

(Usagi Senshi. ARIA. Harper Lee. Holly Arrow. Those four women would each fall to ‘The Black Rose.’ Each time, Minerva brings something more to the table than she thought was possible. Each time, Minerva displays her cunning nature to remain on the top of her realm. A woman who had not been pinned in about two years. A woman who had defeated some of the best in this business. A woman who went from scrapping champions out of a dumpster on Empire to standing on the pinnacle of this entire industry. A woman who proved that you didn’t need to be a pretty face to get far. While gorgeous in her own right, her badass nature and scrappy fighting skills are what presented her to this stage today. It’s what’s made her a Hall of Famer. One of the best.)

James Peters: I got complete fucking chills, guys. These three are the best that this company has to offer. All three took separate roads to get to this stage of their careers. This is a moment that’s truly once in a lifetime. Something that they should all soak in. These women have formed a circle as they’re shifting towards their left as they go around. All of them are looking for the right opening to get this main event underway. It’s this moment of the match, where you need to be cautious. You need to keep your head on a swivel. When you’re dealing with one woman, there’s going to be another one that you need to worry about.

Rich Russillo: Minerva does not need to be pinned to lose the championship tonight. She knows how her odds are slim. She knows how hungry her competition is to take that Universal Women’s Championship away from her. AND — WE GET THINGS UNDERWAY AS MILLI BANKS LOOKS TO CATCH MINERVA BY SURPRISE, BUT TAKING HER DOWN WITH A BACKSTABBER! BUT, MINERVA MANAGES TO KEEP HERSELF DOWN! ALTHOUGH, MILLI IS ABLE TO ROLL HERSELF BACK AND TO HER FEET! NOW, WE HAVE HIKARI KANNO WHO IS LOOKING TO TAKE ADVANTAGE BY THAT MISCALCULATION FROM MILLI AS SHE GOES RIGHT AFTER THE CHAMPION, BUT MINERVA TAKES HER BACK WITH A FOREARM!

Persephone: As Minerva seems to be occupied with Hikari Kanno, Milli Banks gets behind Minerva and looks to roll her up! Is Milli going to make this one of the quickest Pain for Pride main events in EAW History?

OOOOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEE!!!!!

TTTTT—

James Peters: Minerva manages to kick herself out quickly! Milli Banks finds herself to her feet, but Hikari Kanno connects with a running big boot as that sends Milli down! Hikari turns herself around as Minerva looks to swing a forearm to ‘The Dreaming Idol,’ BUT HIKARI DUCKS THE FOREARM! SHE MANAGES TO SWING BEHIND THE CHAMPION AND GET HER IN A FULL NELSON POSITION BEFORE TAKING HER BACK WITH A SNAP DRAGON SUPLEX! NO! MINERVA MANAGES TO LAND ON HER FEET! HIKARI TURNS HERSELF AROUND AS MINERVA GOES RIGHT AFTER HER SPINNING DISCUS LARIAT AS THAT TAKES HIKARI DOWN! BUT, MILLI RUNS AFTER THE METEORA AS THAT SENDS THE CHAMPION DOWN! NOW, IT’S MILLI WHO IS STANDING TALL AS SHE’S HYPING HERSELF UP!

Rich Russillo: You can see shades of the trash-talking that Milli Banks was known for during her time as gymnast, guys! She sees that Hikari Kanno is finding her way back to her feet as Milli delivers a knee to the gut of her fellow challenger! She backs up to the vertical set of ropes before rebounding herself as she looks to connect with a spinning neck breaker, but Hikari manages to spin herself out of the way before deliver a kick to ‘The Supernova’s’ gut before pulling her back and taking her back with a double underhook suplex! Hikari follows that up with a penalty kick to her spine! The look on Milli’s face tells the entire story as Hikari will be displaying some difficult strikes throughout this match!

Persephone: Hikari Kanno takes a few steps back before running stepping onto the spine of Milli Banks, using that as a stepping stone to jump her over as Hikari runs the ropes and follows that up with a basement dropkick to the face of Milli. Then, Hikari manages to stand above Milli, getting her in a crawling position before hoisting her up and taking her back with a straightjacket suplex! Then, she sees Minerva rising to her feet as she grabs the champion by her waist and I think that we’re going to be seeing a German suplex from Hikari! NO! BUT, WE SEE THAT MINERVA IS THROWING A COUPLE OF BACK ELBOWS TO HIKARI! STILL, IT SEEMS LIKE HIKARI IS HOLDING ON! TRYING NOT TO SUCCUMB TO THOSE ELBOW SHOTS!

James Peters: But, look at behind — Milli Banks gets right behind ‘The Dreaming Idol!’ She has her arms wrapped around the waist of Hikari Kanno! Is Milli looking to lift up Hikari for a German suplex of her own?

Rich Russillo: Hikari Kanno has not let go of the waist of Minerva! Hikari is looking to lift up Minerva for her own German suplex —

Persephone: A TRIFECTA SUPLEX! A GERMAN SUPLEX TRAIN WITH THESE THREE BEAUTIFUL, TALENTED WOMEN! MILLI BANKS SHOWCASED SOME AMAZING STRENGTH BY EXECUTING THE GERMAN SUPLEX ON HIKARI KANNO! GIVING THE RIGHT BOOST FOR HIKARI TO CONNECT WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX ON MINERVA! I can’t seem to believe that Milli pulled that out! But, I think that she may have gotten her lower back a bit in the process! It’s a prize to pay when it comes to wanting to give a Pain for Pride moment for yourself, but looking to take your opponents down at the same time!

James Peters: Milli Banks finds herself to her feet first! She stands in between Hikari Kanno and Minerva as she looks to see which of those two women will find themselves to their feet after her! Minerva slowly gets to her feet, but Milli connects with a back kick to the gut as that sends the Universal Women’s Champion back! Then, she sees that Hikari is rising to her feet soon after as she delivers a knee to the gut of Milli before running the ropes and connecting with that spinning neckbreaker that she wanted to connect on Hikari a bit earlier in the match! Now, it seems like Milli is going for the cover of Hikari!

OOOOOOONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

TTTTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Rich Russillo: Hikari Kanno with a kick out! Milli Banks picks up Hikari and gets her in a front headlock! She goes back and I think that we’re going to see Milli running around on the ropes to the turnbuckle and spinning herself around to connect with a tornado DDT on Hikari! With Hikari down, this provides Minerva with an opening to connect with ‘The Devil’s Touch’ — her variation of the superkick that takes The ‘Iron Survivor’ Challenge winner down to a knee! Minerva gets Milli by one of her arms as she takes Milli down with a short-armed clothesline! But, Minerva seems to be pulling Milli back by one of her arms like a rag doll and connecting with another short-armed clothesline as that takes Milli down! Then, we see Minerva still have possession of Milli’s arm before pulling her up and following that up with a single arm suplex as her challenger lands at the corner!

Persephone: Milli Banks is upside down as Minerva begins to stomp on the chest of Milli! This match is no disqualification, no count outs, anything goes as we’re more than determined to have a clear winner and Universal Women’s Champion! We see that Minerva is looking to get the legs of her challenger and dangling them on the top turnbuckle! Milli is hung upside down as Minerva begins to stomp on the face of the former Specialists Champion! Milli is almost like a kid hanging upside down in the jungle gym!

James Peters: But, don’t take your eyes off Hikari Kanno, ladies and gentlemen! She charges right after Minerva as she knocks her towards Milli Banks at the corner! Milli falls down from position as she lands on the top of her head! Minerva’s head gets knocked back to the ring post! Hikari pulls Milli Banks from the mess as she pulls her in a front headlock! We see that the Universal Women’s Champion is scrambling to her feet as she goes right after the challenger! Hikari connects with a kick to the gut of the champion! Then, she pulls Minerva in a front headlock, along with Milli—

Rich Russillo: HIKARI KANNO DROPS BOTH THE CHAMPION AND HER FELLOW CHALLENGER DOWN WITH A SNAP DDT! MILLI BANKS ALMOST LOOKS DEAD! MINERVA GETS FLIPPED TO HER BACK IN RESPONSE TO THE SNAP DDT! IT SEEMS LIKE HIKARI IS GOING FOR THE COVER ON ‘THE BLACK ROSE!’

OOOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

TTTTWWWW—

Persephone: Minerva with a kick out! Hikari Kanno finds herself up to her feet as she gets her hands on the champion! Hikari connects with a couple of fists to the spine of the champion! Hikari, with wonderful awareness, was able to spot Milli Banks getting to her feet before throwing Minerva towards Milli! Minerva’s skull collides with the gut of ‘The Supernova!’ Hikari manages to get a hold of Minerva before taking her back with a northern lights suplex! Hikari connects with the cover!

OOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

TTTTWWWW—

James Peters: MILLI BANKS BREAKS UP THE COUNT BY CONNECTING WITH LEG DROP INTO A SPLIT AS THAT CAUSES FOR HIKARI KANNO TO PLOP DOWN TO HER SPINE, LANDING ON TOP OF MINERVA IN THE PROCESS! MILLI RUNS THE ROPES, JUMPING ONTO THEM, SPRING BOARDING OFF OF THEM AND CONNECTING WITH METEORA THAT TAKES DOWN HIKARI AS SHE WAS ABLE TO FIND HERSELF BACK TO HER FEET! MILLI PULLS HIKARI INTO A FRONT HEADLOCK, GETTING HER FELLOW CHALLENGER INTO POSITION AND CONNECTING WITH A HAMMERLOCK DDT ON ‘THE DREAMING IDOL!’

Rich Russillo: BUT, MINERVA NAILS A GIANT KNEE TO THE FACE OF MILLI BANKS AS THAT SENDS HER DOWN! MINERVA GETS MILLI IN A FRONT HEADLOCK HERSELF BEFORE CONNECTING WITH ‘TWILIGHT’ — HER VARIATION OF THE INVERTED FACE LOCK INTO AN ELBOW DROP AS SHE DROPS MILLI DOWN! The Universal Women’s Champion looks at Hikari Kanno, who is starting to find herself up before Minerva connects with ‘The Devil’s Touch’ as she takes Hikari back! BUT, HIKARI LANDS ON ONE KNEE! THEN, WE SEE MINERVA PULLING HIKARI CLOSER TO HER BEFORE GETTING HER INTO POSITION FOR A SAMBO SUPLEX! HIKARI LANDS ON THE BACK OF HER NECK AS MINERVA GOES FOR THE COVER THERE!

OOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

TTTTTWWWWWOOOOOOO—

Persephone: Hikari Kanno with a kick out! But, it seems like Minerva is getting things started here! She manages to get Hikari by one of her legs! Now, I’m not sure what Minerva has going on here! But, I think that she might be looking for a submission here! She lifts up the leg of Hikari, raising it high in the air — SHE SLAMS HIKARI KNEE FIRST AGAINST THE CANVAS! THIS CAUSES HIKARI TO BEGIN CRYING OUT IN PAIN! BUT, MINERVA IS NOT DONE HERE! SHE RAISES HIKARI’S LEG ONCE MORE BEFORE SLAMMING IT DOWN THE CANVAS ONCE MORE! THE REFEREE DECIDES TO STEP IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS SITUATION AS SHE CHECKS ON HIKARI!

James Peters: BUT FROM BEHIND MINERVA — MILLI BANKS DECIDES TO CATCH MINERVA BY SURPRISE BY CONNECTING WITH THAT BACKSTABBER! NOW, IT SEEMS LIKE MILLI IS TRYING TO FLIP OVER THE UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION! SHE HAS HER LEGS ON EACH SIDE OF MINERVA BEFORE PICKING HER UP IN A CHICKEN WING POSITION BEFORE HOISTING HER UP IN A WHEELBARROW POSITION BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A FACEBUSTER AS THAT TAKES THE CHAMPION DOWN! NOW, WE ARE SLOWLY BEGINNING TO SEE THE WHEELS TURNING IN ‘THE SUPERNOVA’S’ HEAD!

(Milli Banks grabs Minerva by the back of her head before taking her to the turnbuckle at the corner. Milli begins to lift up Minerva in a horizontal position before placing her in between the ropes.)

Rich Russillo: I think that we’re going to see Milli Banks going for that double knee drop that she likes to go for at times! BUT — HIKARI KANNO TRIES TO CATCH MILLI BANKS BY SURPRISING HERSELF AS MILLI CONNECTS WITH A BACK KICK THAT STOPS HIKARI IN HER TRACKS! Then, we see Milli taking Hikari from underneath her chin as connected with a snapmare as she takes Hikari ahead of her! Milli follows that up by connecting with a sliding clothesline to the back of her head! Milli lifts up the former Hardcore Champion and look at this —

Persephone: Milli Banks is getting Hikari Kanno into position as she stacks her above Minerva in between the ropes! This might not end well for Milli — if someone manages to move out of the way! BUT, MILLI USES THE ASSISTANCE OF THE ROPES TO SPRINGBOARD HERSELF FROM THE SIDE AS SHE CONNECTS WITH A DOUBLE KNEE DROP TO HIKARI AS THAT CAUSES MINERVA TO DROP DOWN DUE TO HIKARI BEING ABOVE HER! THE TWO WOMEN FIND CRASHING ON TOP OF EACH OTHER! BUT, I DON’T THINK THAT MILLI IS DONE HERE! SHE JUMPS UP ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE AS SHE DROPS DOWN WITH A FROG SPLASH AS SHE LANDS ON BOTH HIKARI AND MINERVA!

James Peters: But, it seems like Hikari Kanno might have gotten a knee up at the last moment. We see that Milli Banks is holding to her ribs. But, we can’t be too certain here! Still, Milli manages to muster up some energy to get herself to her feet! We see that she’s going after Hikari, who may not have taken much impact from the double knee drop. It wasn’t like she was flattened like a pancake like Minerva was!

Rich Russillo: Milli Banks believes that it was Minerva who took the worst bump out of the two! She gets the Universal Women’s Champion up to her feet! Milli has Minerva by the hair before connecting with a hair pull mat slam as she takes the champion down! She sees Hikari is rising to her feet as she connects with a hair pull as she slams Hikari to the corner! The back of Hikari’s head collided with the turnbuckle! Milli takes a few steps back as she charges towards ‘The Dreaming Idol’ with a meteora to the face of Hikari —

Persephone: No! Hikari Kanno gets out of the way! Milli Banks manages to catch herself before her knees collide with the turnbuckle! But, Hikari manages to grab Milli by her colorful hair before connecting with a hair pull mat slam of her own! Hikari follows that up by jumping on the second turnbuckle, angling to the side and connecting with a forearm to Milli’s face as that takes her to her back! Hikari was able to nail that as Milli was in a seated position! Hikari grabs Milli from underneath her chin and shoves her back to the nearest corner! Milli collapses down to a seated position as Hikari takes a step back before launching herself forward and nailing Milli with a knife edge chop to the chest —

James Peters: MILLI BANKS JUST LET OUT A HUGE SHRIEK AS SHE COVERS HER CHEST WITH ONE OF HER HANDS! BUT, HIKARI KANNO MANAGES TO SNATCH MILLI’S HAND FROM HER BEFORE CONNECTING WITH ANOTHER KNIFE EDGE CHOP TO THE CHEST OF ‘THE SUPERNOVA!’ THEN, WE SEE HIKARI CONNECTING WITH ANOTHER ONE AND ANOTHER ONE! AND ANOTHER ONE! AND ANOTHER ONE! MILLI IS BEING HIT ALL OVER WITH THESE KNIFE EDGE CHOP! THEY AREN’T BEING LIMITED TO THE CHEST! HIKARI TRANSITIONS FROM THE CHOPS TO THOSE LETHAL SHOOT KICKS AS MILLI IS TRYING TO COVER HERSELF FROM ALL OF THESE SHOTS — HIKARI CONNECTS WITH A SPINNING WHEEL KICK AS SHE TAKES MILLI DOWN! Now, we see Hikari taking Milli in a front headlock before lifting her up and connecting with a release butterfly suplex as Milli lands right on her tailbone! Hikari finds her way back up before connecting with a forearm to the back of the former Specialists Champion’s skull!

Rich Russillo: We see that Hikari Kanno is grabbing Milli Banks by the back of her hair! She is yanking her fellow challenger back to a vertical base before whipping her to the corner once more! Milli crashes ribs first against the turnbuckle at the corner as she stumbles back! Hikari manages to catch Milli in a back-to-back position before connecting with a inverted hip toss brain buster as she goes for the pin on Milli!

OOOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

TTTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOOO—

Persephone: No! Milli Banks kicks out! But, Hikari Kanno finds her way back to her feet! She feels more than focused on what she needs to do and that continue working on Milli — but, from behind! It’s the Universal Women’s Champion, who tries to catch Hikari by surprise by grabbing her from behind and throwing her shoulder first against the steel post! Then, Minerva gets one of the legs of Hikari before connecting with a dragon screw leg whip as that causes Hikari to stop stumbling out of the corner and to one of her sides! But, look at this! Hikari has one of her legs dangling on the second turnbuckle as Minerva is aware of that!

(A gorgeous, but wicked smirk forms on the face of Minerva.)

James Peters: That look on Minerva’s face! That is the look that you don’t want to see standing across from you and Hikari Kanno might be the latest edition on the list of Elitists who have stood across from that smirk. Minerva begins to position Hikari’s body on the second turnbuckle! We see that Hikari is dangling like a seesaw with her body teetering up and down as Minerva charges right after Hikari with a sharp knee to the side of Hikari’s head! This knocks Hikari’s upper half down, but Hikari still has her feet dangling on the second rope! Minerva grabs Hikari in a front headlock as —

Rich Russillo: MINERVA CONNECTS WITH A CORKSCREW NECK BREAKER! HIKARI KANNO’S LEGS BEING ON THAT SECOND TURNBUCKLE BROUGHT THE CHAMPION A BIT OF ELEVATION! THE SPEED OF THE MOVE MANAGED TO KNOCK HIKARI DOWN AS MINERVA WENT FOR THE COVER!

OOOOOONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

TTTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Persephone: Hikari Kanno with a kick out! But, Minerva is getting herself warmed up as she grabs one of Hikari’s legs! She positions it above the second rope as Minerva rolls herself out of the ring and pulls Hikari’s leg through the middle rope — MINERVA IS PULLING DOWN ON THAT LEG! GUYS, I THINK THAT MAY BE THE SAME KNEE THAT HIKARI HAD INJURED BACK IN 2021 AT CLASH OF KINGDOMS! THE SAME ONE THAT TOOK ABOUT SEVEN MONTHS OUT OF HIKARI’S CAREER! MINERVA HAS HER HANDS ON THAT SAME KNEE AS HIKARI IS JUST TRYING TO SETTLE ON WHAT EXACTLY IS GOING ON —

James Peters: Minerva is hanging onto that leg and it seems like she’s trying to connect with some figure four on that particular leg, mostly targeting that right knee of Hikari! You can see a look of concern on Hikari’s face as she’s clutching onto the rope across from her, but there’s not much that the referee can do in this situation! Anything goes in this match! We must have a clear winner! Minerva is looking like a possessed woman as she refuses to let go of that leg of Hikari’s —

Rich Russillo: But, Milli Banks rolls out of the ring as she gets a hold of Minerva and it seems like Milli is looking to apply a chokehold on Minerva, but Minerva still has the figure four locked in on Hikari! These women don’t want to lose sight of the other one! Milli pulls Minerva towards her as she turns Minerva’s back to Milli’s back! Back-to-back position, but still, we see that Minerva still has that figure four applied still to Hikari! I can’t imagine the pain that Hikari must be feeling! Still, Milli has Minerva’s arms trapped —

Persephone: GORY SPECIAL SPUN INTO A DDT, MONEY MAKER OR WHATEVER IT’S CALLED! MILLI BANKS TAKES DOWN THE CHAMPION! WITH MINERVA TAKING DOWN TEMPORARILY, MILLI GETS HER HANDS ON THE RIGHT LEG OF HIKARI KANNO AS SHE LOOKS TOWARDS THE RING POST AT THE CORNER! ARE THESE TWO WOMEN LOOKING TO TAKE TURNS ON BREAKING DOWN HIKARI KANNO??

James Peters: Milli Banks is wrapping the leg of the former Hardcore Champion around, but it doesn’t go around completely as Milli begins to shush the crowd —

(The crowd quiets down. Milli Banks’ power. 🤤🤤🤤)

Rich Russillo: I’M NOT SURE WHAT WAS LOUDER — THE SHRIEK OF HIKARI KANNO OR THE SOUND OF HIKARI’S KNEE COLLIDING WITH THAT STEEL RING POST! HIKARI IS SQUIRMING AROUND LIKE A FISH AS SHE IS DOING EVERYTHING IN HER POWER! MILLI BANKS MANAGES TO SWING THE BACK OF HIKARI’S REPAIRED KNEE TO THE STEEL RING POST AT THE CORNER! BUT, IT SEEMS LIKE MILLI IS LOOKING TO DO IT ONCE MORE! SHE IS EGGING ON THE CROWD TO SEE IF SHE WANTS HER TO DO IT AGAIN — BUT, MILLI IS GOING TO DO IT ANYWAY! SHE GRABS THE LEG OF HIKARI ONCE MORE, BUT HIKARI USES HER OTHER LEG TO KICK MILLI IN THE FACE! BUT, MILLI HAS POSSESSION OF HIKARI’S OTHER LEG! I DON’T THINK THAT MAY HAVE WORKED OUT WELL FOR HER!

Persephone: But, Hikari Kanno manages to fight through the pain of her right knee to kick Milli Banks away from her! In the process, Milli falls back to Minerva! THE TWO WOMEN ARE DOWN AS HIKARI KANNO MANAGES TO SLIDE UNDERNEATH THE BOTTOM ROPE AND FIND HERSELF ON THE APRON AS SHE CONNECTS WITH A SOMERSAULT SENTON TO BOTH MINERVA AND MILLI! HIKARI WAS QUITE CAREFUL TO NOT LAND COMPLETELY ON HER RIGHT LEG! The last thing that Hikari needs to do is exploit that injury even more! Hikari gets her hands on Milli and whips her towards the barricade! That takes her out momentarily as Hikari places her focus on the Universal Women’s Champion herself!

James Peters: Hikari Kanno gets Minerva and connects with some rapid uppercuts as she sends the champion back towards the steel steps! Hikari charges towards Minerva as she clotheslines ‘The Black Rose’ over those steel steps! BUT, HIKARI TAKES A COUPLE OF STEPS UP AFTER SEEING THE PERFECT OPPORTUNITY TO GO OVER THOSE STEEL STEPS, CONNECTING WITH A FRONT ROLL AND NAILING MINERVA WITH A LEG DROP ON HER NECK! NOW, THAT WAS SOME ATHLETICISM THERE!

Rich Russillo: Still, I think that Hikari Kanno might have annoyed the back of her right knee, but it’s not anything to worry about. She finds her way back to her feet as she looks to grab Minerva by the back of that vibrant orange hair of her’s! Hikari pulls Minerva in a front headlock and proceeds to lift her up and place her stomach first on top of the barricade! Minerva is teetering up and down on the barricade as Hikari forms a devious smirk on her face!

Persephone: HIKARI KANNO CONNECTS WITH THE HAMMERLOCK DDT AS MINERVA’S TRAPPED ARM GETS TAKEN DOWN TO THE OUTSIDE FLOOR! HIKARI FORMS A SMIRK ON HER FACE, KNOWING THAT SHE MAY HAVE FOUND A TARGET. IF THEY WERE GOING TO TAKE HER KNEE, HIKARI WAS GOING TO FIND SOMETHING TO TAKE AWAY FROM THEM.

James Peters: Hikari Kanno goes to those steel steps as she takes those steps apart! We see that Hikari is looking to get Minerva’s right arm in between the steel steps! Minerva’s arm is on the bottom half of the steep step as Hikari is raising the top half of the steel steps above as she looks to smash Minerva’s arm!

Rich Russillo: MINERVA MANAGES TO GET HERSELF OUT OF THE WAY AT THE LAST SECOND AS STEEL STEPS MAKE A CLUNKING NOISE! HIKARI KANNO TURNS HER ATTENTION TOWARDS MINERVA, WHO MAY HAVE SURVIVED WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN AN AWFUL ARM INJURY! MINERVA MANAGES TO CONNECT WITH A CHOPBLOCK TO THE BACK OF HIKARI’S KNEE! THIS TAKES THE ‘SUDDEN DEATH’ GOLD RUSH TOURNAMENT WINNER DOWN! MINERVA STRADDLES ON TOP OF HER CHALLENGER BEFORE BASHING HER DOWN WITH A SERIES OF RIGHT FISTS! MINERVA HAS HIKARI BY HER HAIR AS SHE THROWS HER TO THE OTHER STEEL STEPS ACROSS FROM THEM!

Persephone: Now, Minerva begins to stomp on the downed body of Hikari Kanno! She holds it there, knowing that the referee can’t do anything about it! The referee is just watching the entire thing go down as the wheels in the Universal Women’s Champion’s head are beginning to turn! She begins to go underneath the ring and at least, I think that this match might get interesting for once —

(The crowd pops as Minerva pulls out a table from underneath the ring.)

James Peters: Oh boy, Minerva introducing the toys here! She begins to set up the legs of the table! BUT, MILLI BANKS CLUBS THE BACK OF MINERVA’S HEAD AS THAT TAKES THE CHAMPION DOWN! MILLI TAKES THE SIGHTS OFF THE SET UP TABLE, WANTING TO PLACE HER FOCUS ON MINERVA, BUT MINERVA MANAGES TO POP BACK UP AND DELIVER A FOREARM TO MILLI AS THAT TAKES HER BACK! BUT, MILL MANAGES TO SPEAR MINERVA TO THE EDGE OF THE APRON! THAT OUGHT TO BE PAINFUL AS MILLI BEGINS TO THROW SOME LEFT AND RIGHT FOREARMS TO THE HEAD, DOING HER PART TO MAKE SURE THAT THE CHAMPION STAYS DOWN! MILLI TAKES A COUPLE OF STEPS BACK BEFORE LOOKING TO GO FOR THOSE DOUBLE KNEES TO MINERVA —

Rich Russillo: No! Minerva has Milli Banks high in the air with a powerbomb! Milli is trying to punch her way out of this troubling situation as Minerva power bombs the ‘Iron Survivor’ Challenge winner through that wooden table that was set up by Minerva just a few moments ago! The same table that was meant for Hikari Kanno! But, look at the apron! Hikari jumps off the apron and manages to take down Minerva with headscissors — NO! MINERVA MANAGES TO MAKE SURE THAT HIKARI HANGS ON! MINERVA IS TRYING TO GET HIKARI INTO A POWERBOMB POSITION! BUT, HIKARI STILL TRIES TO LOOK FOR A WAY TO SPIN HERSELF AROUND, SO THAT SHE CAN CONNECT WITH THE HEADSCISSORS! IT’S JUST A MATTER OF WHO IS GOING TO GET THEIR WAY —

Persephone: Minerva manages to throw Hikari Kanno to the side — TO THAT STEEL RING POST! SHE JUST FLUNG ‘THE DREAMING IDOL’ TO THAT RING POST LIKE SHE WAS A GLORIFIED RAG DOLL! THAT WAS KIND OF CRAZY! MINERVA PICKS LOOKS UNDERNEATH THE RING AND PULLS OUT A KENDO STICK! MINERVA IS TWIRLING IT AROUND LIKE IT’S A BATON AS SHE WAITS FOR HIKARI TO SHOW THE LITTLEST SIGNS OF GETTING TO HER FEET —

James Peters: MINERVA DID NOT GIVE HIKARI KANNO ANY OPPORTUNITY TO BREATHE AS MINERVA BEGAN TO SWING THE KENDO STICK TO THE FORMER HARDCORE CHAMPION! THIS TAKES HIKARI DOWN AGAIN! BUT, MINERVA BEGINS TO SWING THE KENDO STICK LIKE A MAD WOMAN! BUT, MINERVA GETS TURNED AROUND BY MILLI BANKS, BUT MINERVA QUICKLY GRABS A STEEL CHAIR AND SWINGS IT AT THE STOMACH OF HER OTHER CHALLENGER AS THAT CAUSES MILLI TO SHRIEK IN PAIN! MILLI RUNS BACK TO MINERVA, BUT MINERVA SWINGS THE STEEL CHAIR TO THE CHEST OF MILLI! WE SEE THAT HIKARI IS LOOKING TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE OPENING PROVIDED BY MILLI AS SHE MANAGES TO SHOVE MINERVA INTO MILLI! THE TWO WOMEN GO DOWN AS HIKARI TRIES TO FIND HERSELF UP TO HER FEET!

Rich Russillo: Hikari Kanno connects with a double dropkick to both Milli Banks and Minerva! She manages to take Milli down with the dropkick from her left foot, but Minerva manages to grab onto Hikari’s right leg! The same one with the repaired knee that we talked about a bit earlier into the match! MINERVA HAS A HOLD OF THAT LEG BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A LEG WHIP AS THAT TAKES HIKARI TO THE SIDE! THAT LEG IS REALLY FEELING IT! THESE TWO WOMEN ARE DOING WHAT THEY CAN TO KEEP HIKARI DOWN AND NOT MAKE HER A HUGE FACTOR IN THIS MATCH!

Persephone: Minerva is looking towards our timekeeper’s area as pulls out a steel chair, slamming it shut before making her way back to Hikari Kanno, who is holding on to the skirt of the ring, trying to yank herself back up, being gentle with that right knee of her’s! BUT, MINERVA USES THE RIM OF THE STEEL CHAIR TO RAM IT AGAINST THE RIBS OF THE FORMER HARDCORE CHAMPION! THIS TAKES HIKARI DOWN TO ONE KNEE! WE SEE THAT MILLI BANKS IS LOOKING TO FIND HERSELF BACK TO HER FEET AS MINERVA SEES THAT COMING AND RAMS THE STEEL CHAIR TO THE RIBS OF THE CHALLENGER! THEN, BACK TO HIKARI KANNO! MINERVA SETS THE CHAIR UP AS SHE GETS HIKARI AND PLACES HER HEAD IN BETWEEN THE FOLDS OF THE STEEL CHAIR! WHAT IN THE WORLD DOES MINERVA HAVE IN MIND???

James Peters: Minerva lifts up Hikari Kanno, whose head is through the folds of the steel chair! Now, we see Minerva looking towards that steel ring post that she just threw Hikari at a few moments ago! She looks to do the same thing this time around! She delivers a powerful shove to Hikari who makes a beeline for that steel ring post —

Rich Russillo: BUT, HIKARI KANNO MANAGES TO STOP HERSELF IN HER TRACKS AS MINERVA DID NOT LIKE THAT WHATSOEVER! HIKARI CONNECTS WITH A BACK ELBOW AS THAT KNOCKS MINERVA TO A KNEE! THEN, WE SEE THAT HIKARI IS LOOKING TO GET HER HEAD OUT OF THE FOLDS OF THE STEEL CHAIR! BUT, IT SEEMS LIKE MINERVA IS LOOKING TO PUSH HIKARI INTO THOSE STEEL STEPS! NO! HIKARI MANAGES TO LIFT UP MINERVA IN A CRUCIFIX POSITION BEFORE THROWING MINERVA LIKE A LAWN DART TO THE STEEL RING POST! JESUS CHRIST, THAT DID NOT LOOK GOOD WHATSOEVER!

(REPLAY: A slow motion of Minerva charging towards Hikari Kanno from behind. Hikari manages to lift up Minerva in a crucifix position before throwing her forward like a lawn dart to the steel ring post. The impact of Minerva clashing to the steel ring post is at a normal speed than the rest of the replay.)

Persephone: What a dumb bitch! Minerva finds herself knocked down, but Hikari Kanno manages to lift up the Universal Women’s Champion! She takes Minerva up on the apron as Hikari follows suit! I’m not sure what Hikari is looking to do! Hikari gets Minerva into position before connecting with the sitout suplex slam as Minerva goes crashing spine first on the apron! Minerva rolls herself out of the ring, but it seems like Hikari is not done there! It seems like she’s talking Minerva up to her feet! Hikari climbs onto the top turnbuckle as she shifts her body towards Minerva’s direction on the outside!

James Peters: HIKARI KANNO FRONT FLIPS — DRAGONRANA BY ‘THE DREAMING IDOL’ AS SHE SPIKES MINERVA ON THE TOP OF HER HEAD! MINERVA IS TRYING TO FIND HERSELF IN A SEATED POSITION! HIKARI MANAGES TO GRAB MINERVA BY THE NAPE OF HER NECK BEFORE ROLLING HER BACK INSIDE THE RING! HIKARI ROLLS HERSELF BACK INSIDE THE RING BEFORE GETTING MINERVA UP INTO POSITION! HIKARI CALLS THIS MOVE ‘ALLELUIA’ — HER VARIATION OF THE NORTHERN LIGHTS BOMB!

Rich Russillo: LOOK AT THIS! MINERVA MANAGES TO SWITCH POSITIONS WITH HIKARI KANNO! MINERVA IS THE ONE WHO FINDS HERSELF GETTING HIKARI IN POSITION FOR THE TOMBSTONE! NO! BUT, HIKARI MANAGES TO FLIP HERSELF BACK INTO POSITION! HER FEET PLANTED IN THE GROUND AS SHE LOOKED TO GO FOR THAT NORTHERN LIGHTS BOMB! BUT, MINERVA IS REFUSING TO DROP IT! SHE HAS HIKARI IN POSITION AS — ‘THE PRINCESS KILLER’ AS HIKARI DROPS INTO POSITION! MINERVA DRAPES HER BODY RIGHT ON TOP OF ‘THE DREAMING IDOL!’ IS MINERVA GOING TO CRUSH HIKARI’S DREAMS OF BEING CHAMPION RIGHT NOW?!?!

OOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

TTTTTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

TTTTTHHHHHHRRRRRREEEEEEE—

Persephone: ***‘MILLI-ON-AIR’*** — HER VARIATION OF THE CORKSCREW SHOOTING STAR PRESS FROM THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! ‘THE SUPERNOVA’ DROPS DOWN DIRECTLY AT MINERVA AND HIKARI KANNO! BUT, LOOK AT THIS! MINERVA ROLLS HERSELF OUT OF THE WAY AS SHE LOOKS TO RECOVER, BUT MILLI HAS HER BODY DRAPED ON TOP OF HIKARI! IS MILLI LOOKING TO STEAL THIS VICTORY FROM MINERVA!?!??!****

OOOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

TTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

TTTTTHHHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

James Peters: NO! MINERVA THROWS HER ENTIRE BODY ON TOP OF MILLI BANKS AS SHE BREAKS UP THE COUNT AND SAVES HER CHAMPIONSHIP REIGN! MINERVA LOOKS TO THROW A COUPLE OF FISTS AT MILLI’S DIRECTION AS MILLI IS FINDING A WAY BACK TO HER FEET! MINERVA GRABS MILLI BY THE HAIR OF THE CHALLENGER AND USES HER FREE HAND TO CONTINUE THROWING SOME PUNCHES TO THE BACK OF THE FORMER SPECIALISTS CHAMPION’S HEAD! BUT, MILLI IS LOOKING TO PULL HER OWN HAIR AWAY FROM THE CLUTCHES OF ‘THE BLACK ROSE!’! BUT, MINERVA IS PULLING ON MILLI’S HAIR! IT’S TUG-OF-WAR WITH THESE TWO WOMEN! BOTH OF THEM DON’T WANT TO LET GO AS —

Persephone: :damn: :damn: :damn: :damn:

James Peters: WAIT A SECOND, MINERVA JUST RIPPED OUT A SMALL BIT OF MILLI’S HAIR!!!!

Persephone: Just look at the look on Milli’s face! I’m pretty sure they were just special extensions for tonight, but that’s still gotta be embarrassing.

(The crowd is in total shock as Minerva looks at the entire situation with an amused look on her face. It’s not the first time that she’s snatched someone’s extensions out of their hair nor will it be the last for the Universal Women’s Champion. Minerva is dangling that strand of hair in front of Milli as Milli charges after Minerva.)

Rich Russillo: MINERVA USED THAT PIECE OF HAIR TO GOAD MILLI BANKS IN!! MILLI SWUNG AT MINERVA, BUT MINERVA DUCKED UNDER IT BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A HUGE STO! MILLI GOES DOWN AS MINERVA FINDS HERSELF BACK TO HER FEET! SHE LOOKS DOWN AT ONE OF HER FALLEN CHALLENGERS AS SHE DROPS THE STRAND OF HAIR ON TOP OF MILLI’S CHEST! BUT, MINERVA SEES THE POSITION THAT MILLI IS IN! HAPPILY, SHE’S NEAR THE CORNER AS MINERVA CONNECTS WITH A SPLIT-LEGGED MOONSAULT OR ARABIAN PRESS! ‘HELL’S BELLS’ CONNECTS AS MINERVA GOES FOR THE COVER ON MILLI!

OOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

TTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Persephone: Milli Banks gets a shoulder up! Minerva sees Milli extending that arm straight up and gets a hold of it! I think that we’re going to see Minerva going for a submission move! No! It seems like Minerva is trying to roll Milli into her knees before connecting with a hip toss! But, Milli manages to land on her feet as she gets Minerva and connects with an arm drag as that sends the champion sliding across the ring! Minerva goes right after ‘The Supernova,’ but Milli is running after the champion!

James Peters: MILLI BANKS WITH A WHEELBARROW SUNSET FLIP AS SHE GOES FOR A PIN! ‘RENT DUE’ ON MINERVA! IS MILLI LOOKING TO SNEAK AWAY WITH A VICTORY HERE!??!

OOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

TTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

TTTT—

Rich Russillo: If I was Minerva, my heart would be beating so quick! It’s these quick offenses of Milli Banks that she really needs to be on alert for! One of the wonderful things about Milli is that she’s able to think quickly and adjust a lot faster than either Hikari Kanno or Minerva, herself! Minerva manages to roll herself to her feet as Milli gets to her feet afterwards! Milli goes right after the Universal Women’s Champion, ****BUT MINERVA CONNECTS WITH ‘THE DEVIL’S TOUCH’ AS THAT TAKES MILLI DOWN TO A KNEE POSITION! THEN, SHE PULLS MILLI CLOSER AND TAKES HER DOWN WITH THE TWISTING BRAIN BUSTER THAT SHE LIKES TO CALL ‘ATLAS FALLS!’ ****

Persephone: But, Milli Banks manages to side step the move!

Milli Banks: (off-mic) ***YOU ARE NOT HER!***

James Peters: MILLI BANKS HITS ‘THE ABOLISHMENT’ — CONSTANCE BLEVINS’ VARIATION OF HER KNEE STRIKE TO MINERVA’S HEAD! THE SAME WOMAN WHO MINERVA GOT HER START IN EAW WITH! THE SAME WOMAN WHO FORMED HEAVENLY HELL WITH! THE SAME WOMAN WHO INDUCTED MINERVA INTO THE HALL OF FAME ON THURSDAY NIGHT! MINERVA IS TAKEN BACK! BUT, MILLI IS NOT DONE THERE! WE SEE THAT MILLI IS LOOKING TOWARDS HIKARI KANNO WHO IS STARTING TO FIND HER WAY TO HER FEET!

Milli Banks: (off-mic) ***YOU ARE NOT HER! ***

Rich Russillo: Milli Banks has some smoke for Hikari Kanno as she charges right after the former Hardcore Champion, grabbing her head from underneath her arm and — ‘Death Note!’ The Asai DDT! Shades of Hikari Kanno’s IDOL-GUN partner, Miku Sakai, who had fallen short of capturing the National Elite Championship yesterday! Milli is feeling good about herself as she turns around as Minerva looks to catch Milli by surprise, but Milli connects with a calf kick as that causes Minerva to bend forward in pain!

Milli Banks: (off-mic) ***YOU ARE NOT HIM!***

Persephone: MILLI BANKS LIFTS UP MINERVA AND CONNECTS WITH ‘VICTORIA’ — THE POP UP KNEE STRIKE THAT HER HUSBAND LIKES TO USE! THIS TAKES MINERVA DOWN TO HER KNEES AS MILLI SEEMS TO BE FEELING LIKE A BAD BITCH RIGHT NOW! SHE GRABS BOTH THE WRISTS OF MINERVA —

Milli Banks: (off-mic) ***YOU ARE CERTAINLY NOT THE ACE!***

James Peters: IS SHE REALLY GOING TO CROSS THIS LINE? THIS IS THE SAME MAN THAT RUINED MINERVA’S WEDDING DAY! THE SAME MAN WHO LAID A HAND ON HER FATHER! THAT’S JUST AN INSULT TO INJURY THERE! MILLI BANKS HAS MINERVA IN POSITION FOR ‘HATHAWAY’S DREAMS’ — THE DOUBLE WRIST-LOCK INTO A STRAIGHT KNEE STRIKE! MILLI’S KNEE HITS THE JAW OF THE CHAMPION! :damn: :damn: :damn:

Rich Russillo: NO!!!! Minerva manages to duck the knee strike as Milli Banks stumbles forward, not being able to catch herself! Minerva is using the strength to get Milli on one of her sides as Minerva places her challenger up on her shoulders! **** ‘DE FACTO’ — MINERVA WITH A BEAUTIFUL SPINNING PUMPHANDLE SAMOAN DROP AS SHE DROPS DOWN! SHADES OF HER HUSBAND! BUT, MINERVA DOESN’T STOP THERE! SHE PICKS UP MILLI BANKS AND GOES FOR ‘ATLAS FALLS!’ THE MOVE CONNECTS AS MILLI EATS TWO FINISHERS IN SUCH A SMALL SPAN OF TIME! MINERVA WITH THE COVER! IS THIS GOING TO BE ALL SHE WROTE?!?!?!****

OOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

TTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

TTTTTTHHHHHHHHRRRREEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

Persephone: HIKARI KANNO FROM THE TOP ROPE DROPS DOWN WITH A SHARP ELBOW DROP TO THE BACK OF MINERVA’S HEAD! This causes Minerva to roll off of Milli! But, Hikari has Minerva in her sights! Hikari gets Minerva by the back of her head and throws her shoulder first against the ring post at the corner! It’s looking like Hikari wants to make sure that Minerva is taken out of the equation just long enough for her to secure the victory! But, Hikari is going to need to think of something big to turn the tides of this match up! Hikari is looking to get Minerva out of the corner before lifting her up and sitting her on the top turnbuckle! Minerva’s back is turned to Hikari as Hikari looks like she’s going to join Minerva up on the turnbuckle! What does Hikari have in mind?

James Peters: ****‘IDOL STAR DROP’ — THE TOP ROPE BODY SCISSORS BACKFLIP INTO A BACK-TO-BACK KNEELING PILEDRIVER! MINERVA IS DOWN AS HIKARI RACES FOR THE COVER!****

OOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

TTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

TTTTTTHHHHHHHRRRRRR—

Rich Russillo: Minerva kicks out! The Universal Women’s Champion refuses to die! She will continue to fight until she no longer can! Hikari Kanno tries to keep herself calm as manages to grab a hold of one of Minerva’s legs! I think that she might be looking for a cross heel hook, ladies and gentlemen! I can’t recall if we’ve seen Hikari use a move like that! BUT, MINERVA WIGGLES HERSELF OUT OF THE WAY AND SWIPES HIKARI BY THE BACK OF HER RIGHT KNEE AS SHE TAKES DOWN ‘THE DREAMING IDOL!’ MINERVA MAY HAVE SAVED HER CHANCES OF WINNING THIS MATCH! HIKARI CHARGES RIGHT AFTER MINERVA AND CONNECTS WITH RUNNING CROSS ARM BREAKER!

Persephone: BUT, MINERVA IS TRYING TO ROLL HERSELF TOWARDS HER RIGHT AS SHE SWINGS A PUNCH AT HIKARI KANNO! BUT, HIKARI MOVES HER HEAD BACK AS MINERVA’ FIST MISSES HIKARI’S FACE! HIKARI IS HAVING MUCH AMUSEMENT SEEING MINERVA JUST COMPLETELY MISS HER PUNCHES! IT SEEMS LIKE HIKARI MANAGES TO GET POSSESSION OF THE OTHER ARM OF MINERVA AND WHAT IS SHE LOOKING TO DO!??!

James Peters: It seems like Hikari Kanno is going for a scissored armbar crossface on Minerva! Minerva finds herself in a world of trouble at the moment as she looks to scramble her way out of this situation! Hikari is trying to cinch in the move, but Milli Banks runs after her and nails her directly in the face with a low dropkick! Milli kips up back to her feet soon after! Her sights still remain on Hikari! We see Milli looking to follow that up by running facebuster as she takes Hikari down!

Rich Russillo: MILLI BANKS RISES TO HER FEET AS MINERVA BEGINS TO MAKE HER WAY BACK TO HER FEET! MILLI RUNS AFTER HER AND CONNECTS WITH ‘DIAMOND’S DANCING’ — THE DOUBLE KNEE FACEBUSTER TO A KNEELING MINERVA THAT SPIKES HER BACK DOWN ON HER FACE! WE SEE MILLI GETTING MINERVA INTO A BACK-TO-BACK POSITION! WE SAW MILLI WANTING TO CONNECT WITH THIS MOVE AS — ‘MONEY MAKER’ — THE GORY SPECIAL SPUN INTO A DDT! MINERVA IS DOWN AS MILLI LOOKS TO GO FOR THE COVER!

Persephone: ****NO! HIKARI KANNO, FROM BEHIND, ‘DREAMER TIL THE END’ — THE RUNNING BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE TO THE BACK OF MILLI BANKS’ HEAD! THIS DROPS MILLI LIKE A SACK OF FLOUR AS HIKARI LOOKS TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF MILLI’S FOCUS ON MAKING SURE THAT MINERVA WAS TAKEN OUT OF THE EQUATION! HIKARI GOES FOR THE COVER! IS HIKARI GOING TO STEAL THIS VICTORY FROM MILLI?!?!?****

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

TTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

TTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!

James Peters: NO! MINERVA WAS BARELY ABLE TO PULL THE REFEREE OUT OF THE RING JUST BEFORE THREE!!!!!

Rich Russillo: MINERVA SLOWLY SLIDES BACK INTO THE RING, USING HER LAST BIT OF STRENGTH!! HIKARI CAN’T BELIEVE MINERVA STILL HAS ANYTHING LEFT, BUT THIS IS WHY SHE HAS BEEN THE UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION FOR SO LONG! HIKARI NOW DRAGGING MINERVA BACK UP, BUT MINERVA IS ABLE TO RETALIATE WITH A RIGHT HAND! HIKARI RESPONDS WITH A LEFT, AND NOW THERE’S MINERVA WITH A RIGHT! BOTH WOMEN ARE GOING BACK AND FORTH WHILE MILLI SLOWLY GETS BACK UP!

James Peters: HIKARI KANNO LANDS A BACK ELBOW ON MINERVA, AND HIKARI TRIES TO FOLLOW IT UP WITH ALLELUIA- BUT MINERVA QUICKLY SLIPS OUT OF HIKARI’S GRASP!!!!! MINERVA NOW LIFTING HIKARI UP, AND SHE’S ABOUT TO END THIS WITH ATLAS FALLS!!!!

Persephone: NO!!! MILLI BANKS WITH A DROPKICK, DROPPING BOTH WOMEN AS MINERVA IS UNABLE TO CONNECT WITH ATLAS FALLS!!!! MINERVA STUMBLES BACK TO HER FEET, AND MILLI IS ABLE TO HIT MINERVA WITH “NO FAKE BILLS AROUND HERE”!!!!! MINERVA IS TAKEN OUT OF THE RING WITH THAT KNEE, AND NOW MILLI TURNS HER ATTENTION TO HIKARI!!! SHE PULLS HIKARI KANNO INTO POSITION — ‘BANKRUPT!’ MILLI BANKS’ VERSION OF SALIDA DEL SOL TAKES HIKARI DOWN!

James Peters: NO! HIKARI KANNO MANAGES TO SLIDE OUT OF THE GRASP OF MILLI BANKS! BUT, MILLI MANAGES TO LAND ON HER FEET AS SHE CONNECTS WITH THE BACKSTABBER ON HIKARI! BUT, HIKARI MANAGES TO KEEP HERSELF PERFECTLY STILL AS MILLI FALLS DOWN! HIKARI BEGINS TO MAKE HER WAY TOWARDS THE TURNBUCKLE! HER BACK IS COMPLETELY TURNED AS HIKARI IS LOOKING TO DO THIS NEXT SPOT! I THINK THAT SHE MIGHT BE GOING FOR AN ASAI MOONSAULT! THIS COULD BE HER LAST SHOT AT DOING SOMETHING TO SAVE HER CHANCES OF WINNING THIS MATCH!

Rich Russillo: NO! WE SEE THAT MILLI BANKS IS BACK UP TO HER FEET AS SHE GOES TO THAT CORNER! SHE MANAGES TO CHOP THE BACK OF HIKARI KANNO’S RIGHT KNEE! THE SAME KNEE THAT SHE AND MINERVA SPENT THE ENTIRE MATCH WITH TARGETING AND EXPLOITING! THIS CAUSES HIKARI TO COLLAPSE TO A SEATED POSITION ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! MILLI GETS HIKARI IN A BACK-TO-BACK POSITION! SHE HAS HER FELLOW CHALLENGER BY THE ARMS AS MILLI MANAGES TO LIFT UP HIKARI INTO A GORY SPECIAL AS HIKARI WAS TRYING TO FIND HERSELF ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! ‘MONEY MAKER’ — AS HIKARI KANNO, IS SPUN INTO A DDT BY MILLI BANKS! HIKARI GOES HIGH UP AND THEN, FLAT ON HER FACE AS MILLI GOES FOR THE COVER AS… LOOK! MINERVA HAS RECOVERED BUT CAN SHE REACH IN TIME! IS THIS GOING TO BE IT HERE?!?!?!?

OOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

TTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

James Peters: MINERVA PUSHES HERSELF UP, SLIDING INTO THE RING TO BREAK UP THE COVER!!!!!

TTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

Rich Russillo: BUT SHE DOESN’T MAKE IT!!!!

(DING! DING! DING!)

(‘Changed It’ plays once more as the Camping World Stadium rises in ovation as Milli Banks rolls off of Hikari Kanno. Minerva just lowers her head. The clear emotion is written on this twenty-three year old’s face as Milli is doing everything in her power to not cry. But, as soon as she sees the referee showing her the Universal Women’s Championship, she completely starts to shed tears of joy.)

Bella Braxton: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN…YOUR WINNER AND ***NEW*** ELITE ANSWERS WRESTLING UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION… ‘THE SUPERNOVA’…MILLI BANKS!!!!!!!

James Peters: Milli Banks has done it! The twenty-three year old woman from Brooklyn, New York is now your new Universal Women’s Champion! The season began with her as Specialists Champion. It ends with her standing on top of the women’s division with one of the most important championships in this entire company! A woman who created buzz with her antics in the world of gymnastics has found herself on top in the world of professional wrestling!

(The camera pans to a few referees pulling Hikari Kanno from underneath the bottom rope and out of the ring. Hikari is trying to move her right knee, but it seems like something may have been aggravated, but we’re not sure to what extent. A referee is on each side of Hikari who has an arm around the shoulders of each referee. The referees are slow with walking with Hikari up the ramp. Slowly and gingerly, Hikari looks back at Milli Banks, who is looking down on the Universal Women’s Championship. Milli is forehead to championship as she admires the piece of gold. Hikari has a disappointed look on her face before the referees escort her up the ramp.)

Rich Russillo: My heart goes to Hikari Kanno, who put up a fantastic fight in this match up. Excellent efforts from ‘The Dreaming Idol.’ She wanted to prove that the whole scene change to Voltage was the right one for her. That it was going to put her back on track to win some championship gold. Tonight was just a setback for her. Minerva and Milli looked at that surgically repaired knee of Hikari’s and exploited that to their advantage. Wonderful strategy on their part. “Fall seven times, get back eight” has always been a mentality that she’s lived by and it’s going to be something that she thinks about as she walks out of Orlando, Florida empty-handed and under assistance.

Persephone: Do you want to know who is leaving Pain for Pride empty-handed? LUIS, Rich!

(Milli Banks still remains on her knees. The match caused her to be on sea legs for the time being. She raises the Universal Women’s Championship above her head, causing the crowd to roar in satisfaction for ‘The Supernova.’ The referee inside the ring is ready to help Milli up to her feet, solidifying her as the winner and new champion! Milli looks to pose with the championship at each side of the ring, but drops down due to not being able to stand up straight.)

(At that same time, Milli Banks seems to be off guard with the former Universal Women’s Champion, Minerva, who is standing above Milli. A clear look of disappointment on the face of the former champion. Milli and Minerva stare across from each other as ‘Changed It’ dies down. The tension is still there. The hurt about Minerva losing the championship that she’s spent six months defending against anyone who stepped up to her. All of that was over. The reality has set in that she is no longer Universal Women’s Champion and it was because of Milli.)

James Peters: Minerva may have not topped off her Hall of Fame induction week with her Universal Women’s Championship reign still intact. In her heart, she wanted for all of this to align into place with her. It almost seemed like a fairytale story, but there’s no happy ending for ‘The Black Rose’ here.

Rich Russillo: Round two, maybe?

Persephone: Just punch her, Minnie! Disney needs a Minnie that’s not afraid to punch a bitch!

(Minerva extends a hand to Milli Banks. Milli seems a bit hesitant on how to approach this. Milli knew that she was kind of petty in the match. She knew that she did some things that could have struck a chord with the former champion. But, that’s Milli. That goes back to her days as a gymnast needing to use any sort of knowledge and information to help get her further in that sport. It was something that was seen tonight. At the same time, it’s something that an old Minerva would have done and Minerva can’t knock her down for that.)

James Peters: Milli Banks looks around the sea of EAW fans!

(The crowd is egging on Milli Banks to accept Minerva’s handshake. With Minerva, it’s normally tough to put her best foot forward and show some sportsmanship. She hates the concept of losing. She’s really never had people that she would want to show the basic courtesy towards. But, things are different in this situation as the crowd continues to applaud and egg on Milli to accept Minerva’s handshake.)

(And, Milli Banks accepts Minerva’s handshake.)

(Minerva helps Milli Banks up to her feet, still maintaining the grasp of the handshake. The crowd is applauding these two women in the background. Minerva whispers something into the ear of Milli, but that’s meant for them to know about. Milli nods at Minerva as Minerva begins to exit the ring. She points at Milli, giving her a round of applause before leaving the newly crowned champion to celebrate inside the ring. ‘Changed It’ begins to play back up.)

James Peters: That’s respect there, Rich and Seph. That’s how things should be around here!

Persephone: That doesn’t sell tickets, James. We are spite driven individuals and this company operates like that.

(The camera pans to Minerva who begins to walk up the ramp. Instead of looking down in defeat, she has her head up in confidence. The crowd begins to show some love to Minerva as she continues her long walk up the stage. The defeat stung Minerva. Each year since she’s been here, Minerva has been undefeated in the big stage. She has found a way to get the best out of each opponent that she stood across from. She was always the better woman in the end. Tonight was completely different. Tonight, it was Milli Banks who was the better woman. It was Milli Banks who managed to do something that no Elitist has done and that’s give Minerva a loss at Pain for Pride.)

Rich Russillo: Give your black dyed roses to Minerva. This woman carried the Universal Women’s Championship scene on her back. She is one of the notable figures on the Voltage brand. I have adored seeing her completely transformed in our very eyes. As Minerva begins to make her way to the back, we’re left with the newly crowned Universal Women’s Champion! Congratulations, Milli Banks!

(The last shot is of Milli Banks raising the title high in the air as the blue, silver and yellow fireworks begin to go off in the Camping World Stadium.)

(The camera pans to show on the side of the stage a burial site, a huge bulldozer and hole with a mound of dirt next to it. Then it shows Gina Romano in the ring ready to make the announcement of the participants for the match.)

Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS THE BURIED ALIVE MATCH AND HERE ARE THE RULES! THE ONLY WAY A PARTICIPANT CAN WIN IS BYT THROWING THEIR OPPONENT INTO THE GRAVE AND POURING DIRT ON THEM! ONLY THEN WILL THEY BE DECLARED THE WINNER!

(The crowd explodes in cheers, when suddenly on the Tron a video begins to play with Three Crosses on a hill in the distance.)

Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST… FROM THE CITY OF SIN…. WEIGHING IN AT 266 POUNDS! “THE DELIVERER”…. SOLOMON STANE!!!!!

(On the stage, a white light slowly begins to illuminate the sides. It barely punctures the smoke that has rolled out. Standing amongst it are the Children of Sanity. They look like a choir of angels. They begin to sing.)

Children of Sanity: Step into the garden! We’re gonna lock the gate! We gotta keep out the sinners, we gotta keep out the hate!

(Trixie Stane, dressed in black walks out onto the stage with a smile on her face. As she does, the stage begins to light up with a bright white light. The Children of Sanity keep singing.)

Children of Sanity: Look at the horizon, the time is coming near! Look out at the world on fire, look at people frozen in fear!

(A beam of light shoots up above the stage, where something or someone begins to descend. It looks as if it has six wings. Two covering the face, two covering the feet and two are stretched out in flight.)

Children of Sanity: We won’t listen to their crying; they had their chance to see the light!

(The creature reaches the stage and seemingly hovers towards where Trixie is. In the full light, it can be seen that wings are white but there are red eyes covering it. They stare out, unblinking at the crowd.)

Children of Sanity: We won’t be handing out no pardons, cause the world is gonna end tonight!

(With that, all of white light suddenly turns red and orange. The wings are cast off to reveal Solomon Stane, who is dressed in black and orange vestments that have been modified for ring-gear. “The World is Gonna End Tonight” by Dan Romer, Peter Harper starts playing through the arena. He walks down the ramp with Trixie guiding him.)

Deadprez: DAWG… THAT WAS ONE CREEPY ENTRANCE! AND HERE HE COMES, ONE OF THE MOST, IF NOT THE MOST DANGEROUS MAN NOT ONLY ON SHOWDOWN BUT THE ENTIRE EAW! SOLOMON STANE WANTS REVENGE, AND THIS IS SOMEONE THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN WALKING INTO PAIN FOR PRIDE AS THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION!

Eve: I am going to have to agree with you Prez, that entrance just shows how sick and twisted this monster is and Trixie is back from her injuries. Caroline better recognize that he is on a warpath and is looking to take her apart!

Gavin Kirkland: WE HAVE SEEN SPECIAL ENTRANCES ALL THREE DAYS BUT THIS HAS BEEN THE CREEPIEST OF THEM ALL!

(Solomon continues to walk slowly down to the ring. As he finally gets down to the ring, he takes Trixie by the hand, and they pray together.. The fans continue to boo as she then slowly walks to the back and disappears with the Children of Sanity. Solomon enters the ring and stands in the middle of the ring, dropping to his knees and spreading his arms and looking up at the heavens.)

Eve: He is one scary man.

(As his theme fades, smoke starts to fill the entranceway . The Tron has an announcement,.)

(This Entrance Has Been Paid For By Jake Smith As a Thank You to Caroline For Bailing Him Out of Jail.)

Gavin Kirkland: Wait… what? She bailed him out of jail!?

Deadprez: Oh, hell nah dawg, she’s even still taking jabs at that crazy bitch, Dr. Bethany Blue to this day and had an accused murderer released!

Eve: Not surprising, murder loves murder.

(Smoke starts to fill the entranceway . You can hear children’s voices laughing and having a good time, when the crowd can hear a song being sung.)

???: ‘Thou shalt not kill….. Thou shalt not die.’ Cry! Last fire will rise…. Behind those eyes….. Black house will rock… Blind boys don’t lie.

(Suddenly the Tron shows the silhouette of a woman with a hat, her hands with extremely long nails standing without moving.)

???: Immortal fear, That voice so clear. Through broken walls, That scream I heaaaaarrrrr.

(Out of the fog walks out young women in doll dresses, black and red, they are wearing cracked doll face masks, they are the ones singing, ten of them creepily step slowly into the center of the stage, they chant in unison…)

???: Thou shalt not fall……

???: Thou shalt not die……

???: Thou shalt not fear….

???: Thou shalt not kill…

(Out of the thick smoke the silhouette is no longer in the Tron as it stepped out and is walking through the fog. The dolls start to sing louder this time some say one thing, some say another following the first verse.)

???: CRY LITTLE SISTER!

???: Thou shalt not fall……

???: CRY LITTLE SISTER!

???: Thou shalt not die……

???: CRY LITTLE SISTER!

???: Thou shalt not fear….

???: CRY LITTLE SISTER!

???: Thou shalt not kill…

(Out of the smoke walks out Caroline dressed in all of red. Her head down, face covered by the hat, arms spread apart with her long steel nails at the tip of her fingers.)

(The dolls stop singing, and they walk down to the ring area and wait for her when “Living Dead Girl” by Rob Zombie starts to play throughout the stadium, the erupts in cheers, many in boos.)

Gina Romano: AND HIS OPPONENT! SHE HAILS FROM AMONGST THE SHADOWS! WEIGHING IN AT 109 POUNDS! SHE IS “THE QUEEN OF SHADOWS”,….. CAROLINE!!!!!!!!!

(Slowly lifting her head up, the camera catches her face, her eyes are an empty black, she then slowly smiles.)

Gavin Kirkland: Yeah… fuck that. I’m outta here!

Eve: LOOK AT HER EYES PREZ! THEY ARE AN EMPTY BLACK!

Deadprez: We were talking about dangerous men in Solomon Stane? WELL, YOU ARE LOOKING ONE EVIL YOUNG WOMAN!

(Caroline slowly starts to walk to the ring, you can hear the Dolls still singing and chanting the words from earlier. Solomon looks on, kneeled in the corner. Caroline stops at the apron as the dolls fall on their knees and make a staircase for Caroline to walk up on with their bodies.

Gavin Kirkland: Yeah…. That’s creepy as hell!

Deadprez: NAH… DAWG… SHUCKY DUCKY QUACK! QUACK!!!!

Eve: This is disturbing, it is like we are watching a match on who is going to Hell first!

(Caroline enters the ring, she stands there wearing her red robe like jacket and hat, the dolls take it off her, her opaque eyes look over at Solomon. The dolls leave the ringside area, when her music dies down. The two continue to glare at one another until the referee signals for the bell.)

(DING!!!! DING!!!! DING!!!!)

Deadprez: Caroline circles the ring as Solomon Stane stands his ground, he is watching her closely as the rules are set, there are no pinfalls, no count outs or disqualifications, the rules are simple, you need to throw your opponent into that open grave on the side of the stage, then throw dirt on them, that is why the bulldozer is there.

Eve: It is a very macabre situation, and we are talking about two of the darkest and most evil wrestlers on the planet, this is no different here! And what this entails, they were two partners and allies at one point this season, and now they are bitter enemies! One of them is getting buried alive tonight.

Gavin Kirkland: We have seen a lot of stuff this past weekend, okay, really disturbing things, and this is no different! Caroline is carefully watching Solomon Stane who is not moving at all, just watching her, and now Caroline stands in the middle of the ring waiting as well!

(Solomon slowly walks toward her, the two are now face to face, well Solomon is looking down at the smaller Caroline and now smiling.)

Solomon Stane: (Off Mic) Repent sinner.

(Caroline just starts to laugh as Solomon – )

Deadprez: GRABS HER BY THE NECK AND HE SLOWLY STARTS LIFTING THE MUCH SMALLER CAROLINE OFF HER FEET,! LOOK AT THE EXPRESSION ON HIS FACE, HE IS NOT WASTING ANY TIME AND IS READY TO BURY HER BUT –

Eve: CAROLINE BITES HIM! SHE DOESN’T CARE AND SOLOMON IS TRYING TO WITHSTAND AS MUCH PAIN THAT HE CAN! BUT IT IS TOO MUCH! HE LETS GO OF CAROLINE WHO QUICKLY BOUNCES OFF THE ROPES AND BASEMENT DROPKICKS STANE!

Gavin Kirkland: STANE IS DOWN TO ONE KNEE AND THE QUICKNESS OF CAROLINE AS SHE DROPKICKS SOLOMON AGAIN AND THIS TIME HE STILL DOESN’T FALL BUT ON ONE KNEE, SHE RUNS BACK, THIS GIRL IS FAST…. AND –

Eve: SOLOMON SPRINGS UP AND BIG BOOTS HER RIGHT IN THE CHEST AND CAROLINE FALLS! HONESTLY I THINK THIS MATCH IS GOING TO GO FAST, BECAUSE THIS MONSTER IS LOOKING TO DESTROY CAROLINE AND BURY HER ALIVE!

(Caroline holds her chest as Solomon drives his boot into her throat trying to choke the life out of her.)

Deadprez: There are no rules in this match, so he could choke her out right now and carry Carolien to the empty grave, drop her right in and wipe his hands clean of it! We know that this is not going to end well for one of these two competitors!

(Solomon continues to choke her driving his boot deep into her throat, Caroline though wraps her legs around his, she is trying to brace.)

Eve: Look at Caroline, for only being a wrestler a few years, she is smart, has really learned along the way with every win and every loss! She has found a way to counteract what Solomon is trying to do, she is using her weight to keep him off balance as he tries to stay upright, but he loses balance and breaks the hold!

(The crowd looks on as Solomon gets back his balance and runs at Caroline again with another boot – )

Gavin Kirkland: Caroline ducks the big boot this time! Solomon falls forward and she runs against the ropes, Springboard Moonsault! NO! Solomon Stane caught her in midair! She is trying to break free, and he is setting her up for a Tombstone piledriver –

Deadprez: She is able to squirm free and falls behind Solomon and she tries to lift him for a German Suplex! But look at Solomon! He is laughing as he stands his ground, he grabs her by the head and smashes her on his knee! Caroline stumbles back some, as he hoists her up and SHOULDER BREAKER!

Eve: Textbook Shoulder breaker and Caroline is down! Solomon Stane didn’t come here to play! It is like he is swatting a fly right now and Caroline cannot gain any ground on the monster! He picks her up by the hair and lifts her over his shoulder pointing to the outside and he runs to LAUNCH HER!

Gavin Kirkland: CAROLINE IS LIKE A SPIDER MONKEY! SHE CRAWLED BACK AND LOCKED ON A DRAGON SLEEPER STOPPING SOLOMON IN HIS TRACKS! Everyone thinks that the size advantage could be a detriment to Caroline, but right now she is showing that it is not!

Deadprez: Solomon Stane is 6’7” dawg, she is 5’3” and 109 pounds soaking wet, okay? If Solomon can get a good handle on her, he can break Caroline in half! We have seen what he can do to smaller opponents, even former and current World Champions, this man is about to break the ceiling and become THAT guy in the EAW! Lets not forget that he should have been the EAW World Champion!

Eve: I agree Prez, but Caroline doesn’t and right now she is showing it, using her strength to lock in that Dragon Sleeper,, she is doing her absolute best to try and take the big man down, slowly he is doing his best to fight it, but so early in the match, Caroline doesn’t work by the hour!

(Caroline continues with the Dragon Sleeper as Solomon drops to one knee, the fans start to cheer as Solomon tries to reach the ropes.)

Deadprez: That is all fine and dandy, but Eve, how the hell is Caroline going to carry or drag that big sumbitch to the grave? That is what we need to think about here, the strategy is sound, I just don’t see how it can continue without her getting closer to the gravesite!

Gavin Kirkland: Wait a second! Solomon is reaching over and grabbing Caroline by her blonde locks, she though is trying to hang on to that sleeper, she is doing her best to wrench it back harder, but I think that Solomon is too damn strong! He pulls on her hair as we can hear her scream, and Solomon whips her over and she lands hard on the mat!

(Caroline rolls out of the ring, holding the back of her head, she looks up as Solomon runs against the ropes.)

Eve: SUICIDE DIVE BY THE BIG MONSTER AND HE JUST FLATTENED CAROLINE! SHE IS DOWN AND HE STANDS UP AND SMILES, THE FANS BOO, SOME CHEER!

Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Gavin Kirkland: This man is so dangerous! He is looking under the ring and Solomon Stane is pulling out a chair! Caroline is trying to get to her feet –

(SLAM!)

Gavin Kirkland: OH, HELL NO! SOLOMON STANE SLAMMED THAT CHAIR OVE RTHE HEAD OF CAROLINE AND SHE WENT DOWN LIKE A TON OF BRICKS! HE MIGHT HAVE CONCUSSED HER ALREADY THIS EARLY IN THE MATCH! CAROLINE LOOKS A WORSE FOR WEAR, AS SOLOMON HAS HER BY THE NECK, HE SLAMS THE CHAIR DOWN, PICKS HER UP –

Eve: HE BODY SLAMS HER ON THE CHAIR! CAROLINE IS SCREAMING IN PAIN AND LOOKING AT THE JOY ON THE FACE OF SOLOMON STANE! HE IS LOVING EVERY MINUTE OF THIS! SOLOMON NOW POINTS TO THE GRAVESITE! MAYBE HE IS GOING TO END IT RIGHT HERE AND NOW!

(Solomon grabs her long blonde hair, twirls it up in his fist and begins to drag Caroline.)

Eve: HE IS DRAGGING HER BY THE HAIR, YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME! CAROLINE IS STARTING TO GET HER SENSES BACK AND SHE IS REALIZING WHAT IS HAPPENING, LOOK AT HER RESILIENCE!

Deadprez: Caroline has flipped her legs over and locked them on Solomon’s arm! He can’t drag her anymore and the awkwardness of the angle, he doesn’t have enough strength to lift her! This made him bend over and Caroline raked his eyes! Solomon lets her go and is blinded! Caroline is back up to her feet, she rolls to the ring, she looks under it and smiles, taking out.. OH BOY!

Gavin Kirkland: We have seen a lot this weekend, and now….. A HAMMER!

(Caroline with a wicked smile on her face, she slowly stands up with the hammer in hand, Solomon charges in – )

(SMACK!!!!)

Eve: AND I WILL BE DAMNED! CAROLINE JUST STRUCK HIM WITH THE HAMMER RIGHT ON HIS HEAD! SOLOMON IS STUNNED, HOLDING HIS HEAD AND HE IS STUMBLING BACK –

(SMACK!!!!)

Gavin Kirkland: SHE JUST STRUCK HIM AGAIN WITH THE HAMMER! SLOMON IS DOWN TO ONE KNEE AND HE IS BLEEDING FROM HIS FOREHEAD EARLY IN THIS MATCH! CAROLINE IS NOT DONE! SHEW RAISES THE HAMMER ONE MORE TIME!

(SMACK!!!!)

Deadprez: YEAH DAWG. THIS IS WHY SHE BAILED OUT JAKE SMITH! NAH…. NAH! SHE JUST HAMMERING SOLOMON STANE AND NOW HE IS FINALLY ON THE GROUND AND SHE IS ABOUT TO HAMMER THE BACK OFF HIS HEAD BUT WAIT…. SHE IS TURNING THE HAMMER AROUND! WE ARE ABOUT TO SEE A MURDER ON TV! SHE IS GOING TO DRIVE THE NAIL REMOVER INTO HIS DAMN SKULL!

(The crowd watches on in horror when suddenly – )

Eve: CAROLINE WAS TACKLED DOWN BY TRIXIE! WHERE THE HELL DID SHE COME FROM! TRIXIE HAS TAKEN THE HAMMER FROM HER AND S CHECKING ON HER HUSBAND BUT CAROLINE GRABS TRIXIE FROM BEHIND AND –

Deadprez: WICKED! THE BACKFLIP DDT ON THE FLOOR AND TRIXIE LOOKS OUT OF IT! CAROLINE SCREAMS AND TURNS TO SOLOMON STANE WHO WAS ALREADY GETTING UP, SHE GOES TO GRAB THE HAMMER –

Eve: SOLOMON STANE JUST THREW SOMETHING IN CAROLINE’S FACE! SHE IS BLINDED! WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT! ?

Gavin Kirkland: WAS IT ANTHRAX!? RUUUUUNNNNNNNNN!

Deadprez: No dumbass! It was salt! She is screaming, clawing at her eyes, that salt burns hard and Caroline with those deep black opaque eyes, she is blinded by that salt! Solomon is back to his feet, wobbly and bleeding, he looks over at Trixie who is starting to move and gets her out of harm’s way!

(Caroline is trying to see, she is looking for anything, rolling back into the ring, but Solomon looks under the ring, and he drags out a Table. The crowd explodes in cheers.)

Crowd: WE WANT TABLES!!!!! WE WANT TABLES!!!!! WE WANT TABLES!!!!!!

( A ring attendant grabs a bottle of water and hands it to Caroline, she starts washing her eyes with the water as Solomon is hoisting the table on its fours outside.)

Eve: Solomon Stane is bringing out the hardware! He has the Table set up and now slides into the ring! Caroline is just now able to get her sight back some and she walks in –

Deadprez: RIGHT INTO THE HAND OF SOLOMON STANE AROUND HER THROAT! CAROLINE IS HELPLESS AS HE SHOOTS HER UP, WALKS TO THE SIDE OF THE RING OVER THE TABLE! HE IS GOING TO DROP HER LIKE TWELVE FEET AND –

(CRASH)

Gavin Kirkland: SOLOMON STANE JUST CHOKESLAMEMD CAROLINE FROM THE RING INTO THE TABLE OUTSIDE AND IT SHATTERED ON IMPACT! CAROLINE IS BURIED IN THE RUBBLE AS THE FANS ROAR!

Crowd: HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Eve: THIS MATCH COULD BE OVER ALREADY! ALL SOLOMON NEEDS TO DO IS PICK HER UP AND TAKE HER TO THE SITE! DROP CAROLINE IN AND BURY HER ALIVE! SHE IS NOT MOVING AND I THINK THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT SOLOMON IS READY TO DO!

(Solomon drops down to the floor, he throws all the table rubble to the side, before he then picks up Caroline by the hair and places her limp body over his shoulder.)

Deadprez: He is pointing at the gravesite! He is going to attempt this for a second time, and not miss! Solomon Stane remembers what Caroline did! How she cost him the EAW World Championship! How she played a hand in taking out Chef Viz! Small or not, Caroline has shown that she can take out anyone, so Solomon needs to take the advantage now and not give this dangerous little minx the chance to recover!

Eve: You are right, Prez! That is exactly what he needs to do, because you cannot give someone like Caroline any more chances! Solomon is walking now toward the ramp! She is not moving; Caroline might be unconscious after that fall! We are going to see a burial right now!

(Solomon is almost at the top of the stage, all he has to do is go right and then down to the gravesite, but suddenly, while he was carrying Caroline, he didn’t notice that she was putting on her hand apparatus that has her long golden steel nails.)

Gavin Kirkland: We didn’t even notice Caroline putting those on while Solomon was making his way up the ramp with her over his shoulder! She starts… SCRATCHING HIM ON HIS BACK! SOLOMON DROPS HER AS THE SCRATCHES START TO BLEED! SHE FALLS AND HITS HARS ON THE RAMPWAY, SHE TRIES TO STAND WHILE HE IS DISTRACTED!

Eve: CAROLINE OUT OF DESPERATION TOOK THOSE NAILS AND DUG THEM DEEP INSIDE HIM! HIS BACK IS BLEEDING, HE LOOKS LIKES THEY WERE SCRATCHED BY A WEREWOLF! He is stunned and this is the perfect chance for Caroline to get back to the ring, she is finally back on her feet!

Deadprez: Caroline is heading into the ringside area but look at Solomon! Stane is angry and he is barreling down to the ring after her! She is trying to grab something under the ring, but he grabs her by the ankles and pull her out –

Gavin Kirkland: CAROLINE PULLED OUT A FIRE EXTINGUISHER AND SPRAYED THE EYES OF SOLOMON STANE! SHE JUST BLINDED SOLOMON! AND NOW IT IS HIS TURN TO NOT SEE! CAROLINE IS BACK UP AND –

(PLUNK!)

Eve: SHE JUST BASHED THE FIRE EXTINGUISHER ON THE SIDE OF THE HEAD OF SOLOMON STANE! HE IS STUMMED AGAIN AND SHE GRABS HIM AND THROWS SOLOMON IN THE RING! WHAT IS SHE GETTING NOW!?

(The crowd starts to cheer as Caroline comes back up with what she has in her hand as they start to chant.)

Crowd: HOLY SHIT!!!!!! HOLY SHIT!!!!!!! HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: WE HAVE SOME REALLY DISTURBED WOMEN ON THE EAW ROSTER…. AND I LOVE IT! LOOK AT THIS!

Eve: IT IS A BARBED WIRE WRAPPED SPIRIT STICK! TALK ABOUT HER TWISTED TAKE WHEN SHE WAS A CHEERLEADER! CAROLINE IS ABOUT TO TAKE THIS TO A WHOLE NEW LEVEL HERE AS SOLOMON STANE IS BLINDED AND HAS NO CLUE WHAT SHE HAS IN HAND!

(Solomon Stane turns around and….)

(THWACK!!!!)

Deadprez: SHE JUST LEVELED HIM IN THE ABDOMEN WITH THAT! HE HAS A PROTECTIVE VEST, BUT THAT DIDN’T STOP THE BARBED WIRE FROM PIERCING HIS SKIN! SOLOMON STANE IS BLEEDING! NOW FROM HIS ABDOMEN AND –

(THWACK!!!!)

(THWACK!!!!)

(THWACK!!!!)

Gavin Kirkland: SHE IS TEEING OFF ON SOLOMON’S CHEST! SHE HAS PUMMELED HIM ALREADY THREE MORE TIMES WITH THE SPIRIT STICK AND SOLOMON STANE IS GRIPPING AND HURTING IN PAIN! SHE LIFTS IT OVER HER HEAD! THIS WOMAN HAS ALREADY BASHED THIS MONSTER WITH A HAMMER AND HE IS BLEEDING AND PROBABLY HAS A CRACKED SKULL!

(THWACK!!!!)

Eve: NOOOO! SOLOMON WAS ABLE TO STOP HER! HIS STRENGTH WAS ABLE TO STOP HER ARMS FROM COMING DOWN WITH ALL THAT FURY! HE IS BACK UP TO HIS FEET AND HE RIPS IT FROM HER HANDS AND SHE –

Deadprez: LOW BLOW! CAROLINE DROPPED TO HER KNEES AND DROVE THE FOREARM RIGHT INTO HIS GROIN AREA! SOLOMON BUCKLES OVER AND DROPS THE SPIRIT STICK! CAROLINE SMILES! SHE RUNS AGAINST THE ROPES –

Gavin Kirkland: ODIN’S EYE! HE JUST WAS ABLE TO LIFT CAROLINE OVER HIS SHOULDER AND DROPPED HER FACE FIRST INTO HIS KNEES! SHE JUST CRUMBLED TO THE MATS AND NOW SOLOMON SITS HER UP! OH NO, HE RUNS AGAINST THE ROPES ….

Eve: MISERY’S END! THAT HUGE ELBOW RIGHT TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD OF CAROLINE AND SHE SPIT OUT BLOOD WITH THE FORCE HE HIT HER WITH! SOLOMON KNOWS THAT HE CANNOT PIN HER! HE IS KNEELING….. AND PRAYING!

(Solomon is kneeling in front of Caroline who is barely moving, He looks up into the heavens and stretches out his arms.)

Solomon Stane: (Off Mic) My God… forgive those that have sinned against you! Give me the strength and the power to bury these heathen and send her straight to hell!

(The crowd boos as Solomon Stane gets right back up to his feet, he waits as Caroline is slowly crawling to the ropes, a huge smile comes across the face of Stane as he waits for her to slowly use the ropes that is when he reaches into his boot.)

Eve: Solomon Stane is reaching into his boot, what is he taking out?

Gavin Kirkland: It looks like…. OH SHIT!

Eve: :damn:

Deadprez: HE HAS IN HIS HAND A CRUCIFIX WITH IT SHARPENED AT THE END OF IT TO MAKE A BLADE! THIS MAN IS INSANE AND HE IS ABOUT TO HAVE A COME TO JESUS WITH CAROLINE! SHE IS SLOWLY BACK TO HER FEET –

(As Caroline stumbles, the sand turns around…)

Eve: SOLOMON STANE IS PRICKING AT HER HEAD! THE CRUCIFIX IS CUTTING HER OPEN AND NOW HE IS GRINDING THAT BLADE BACK AND FORTH! THE BLOOD IS POURING OUT OF CAROLINE’S HEAD AS SHE FALLS TO HER KNEES! LOOK AT SOLOMON! HE IS ABOUT TO RAISE IT OVER HIS HID AND STAB HER ON THE TOP OF THE HEAD WITH IT!

Gavin Kirkland: NO! CAROLINE BLEEDING ALL OVER THE PLACE WITH THE CRIMSON MASK JUST ROLLED FORWARD AND OUT OF THE RING! SOLOMON LOOKS ANGRY! SHE CAN’T EVEN SEE WITH THE BLOOD GETTING IN HER EYES! SOLOMON IS RUNNING THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE ROPES AND –

Deadprez: CANNONBALL OVER THE TOP ROPE ON CAROLINE… NO! CAROLINE AT THE LAST SECOND MOVED OUT OF THE WAY! HE LANDED RIGHT ON HIS BACK ON THE MATS AND IS SCREAMING IN PAIN! CAROLINE WAS ABLE TO AVOID THAT WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN DISASTROUS AND LOOK AT HER!

(Caroline quickly removes the mats from the ringside are to expose the pure concrete. She starts to seethe with her bloody face as she climbs to the top of the announcers table.)

Eve: CAROLINE IS STANDING ABOVE SOLOMON AS HE IS SLOWLY GETTING UP! WHAT DOES SHE HAVE PLANNED!

Gavin Kirkland: SHE IS BLEEDING ALL OVER OUR TABLE! THIS IS GROSS! CAROLINE RUNS AND –

Deadprez: THE DARK HALLOWS! SHOOTING STAR KNEE DROP RIGHT INTO THE CHEST OF SOLOMON STANE AS HE CRASHES BACK AND HEADFIRST INTO THE CONCRETE! CAROLINE IS BACK UP!

(Caroline screams as the crowd cheers, some boo but they all chant.)

Crowd: HOLY SHIT!!!!!! HOLY SHIT!!!!!!! HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: The impact of that move was more on the landing of Solomon then anything! She drove the back of his head into the concrete and that was simply wicked! Caroline is taking out all the stops here, she has too with her size and weight against a monster like Solomon Stane!

Eve: I agree, but again, what is she going to do when having to take this beast to the gravesite!? That is the problem, you cannot win a match by submission or pinfalls here! Caroline is slowly picking up Solomon though who is still conscious! I cannot believe that after he landed, Caroline has him on his knees! She is punching him hard with closed fists! As the blood from Solomon now starts to pour!

Deadprez: We are seeing a viciousness out of this young woman that ahs in her own right been climbing the ladder of success, and she wants to send the message that she isn’t some rookie anymore, but one of the most dangerous in the EAW! I know she hates Dr. Bethany Blue and vice versa. But they used to be mentors and protégé, look how crazy they have gotten since! It should be studied!

(Caroline punches Solomon some more before digging her nails into his eyes as she screams, she tries to gouge them out but to no avail as he grabs her wrists – )

Gavin Kirkland: WITH ALL OF HIS STRENGTH! HE FLIPPED CAROLINE OVER BY HER WRISTS! HOW THE HELL DID HE DO THAT! THE MONSTER IS BACK UP ON HIS FEET, HE SLOWLY TURNS AROUND AND CAROLINE IS GETTING BACK UP, HE LOOKS UNDER THE ROPES AND HE PULLS OUT SOMETHING!

Deadprez: IT LOOKS LIKE HE PLANS TO BURY HER ALIVE NOW! HE HAS A SHOVEL! CAROLINE TURNS AROUND AND SOLOMON SWINGS –

Eve: NO! CAROLINE IS ABLE TO DUCK! SHE STARTS TO MAKE HER WAY AROUND THE RING, TOO HURT TO RUN! SHE IS TRYING TO GET TO RAMP AND HERE COMES STANE! HE SLAMS THE SHOVEL AT HER!

(SLAM!!!!!!!!)

Gavin Kirkland: CAROLINE IS ABLE TO DODGE THE SHOVEL AS HE TRIED TO BASH HER HEAD IN AND IT SLAMS AGAINST THE ENTRANCEWAY!

(SLAM!!!!!!!!)

(SLAM!!!!!!!!)

(SLAM!!!!!!!!)

Deadprez: CAROLINE IS ON HER ASS TRYING TO SHIFT FROM THAT SHOVEL STRIKING HER, EACH TIME THAT HE TRIES TO LAY IT ON HER! SHE IS SCRAMBLING BACK TO HER FEET AND SOLOMON SWINGS BUT CAROLINE IS ABLE TO CATCH THE SHOVEL! SHE TRIES TO RIP IT FROM HIS HANDS BUT HE SWINGS HER WITH THE SHOVEL –

Eve: OFF THE STAGE! CAROLINE HITS HARD ON THE FLOOR AS THEY WERE HALFWAY UP AND THAT WAS AT LEAST A TEN TO TWELVE FOOT DROP! BUT SHE HAS THE SHOVEL! CAROLINE IS IN BAD SHAPE WITH THAT LANDING AS SOLOMON DROPS DOWN TO GRAB HER!

Gavin Kirkland: This is not looking good for Caroline, she was being rag dolled all over the ring earlier and now Solomon is on the floor, and look at this now! He is dragging her toward the gravesite! I think Solomon smells the end of this and we are about to witness a burial!

(Once again Solomon twirls her hair around his fist and starts dragging the smaller Caroline as she is kicking and screaming.)

Deadprez: Solomon Stane has arrived at the mound of dirt! He is trying to drag her up it so that he can finish her off! Caroline is fighting her hardest and she is trying to wrap the leg around his arm again, but Solomon has the shovel on the other hand, Caroline has a ball of dirt in her hand!

Eve: Solomon turns around! CAROLINE JUST THREW DIRT IN HIS EYES! SOLOMON AGAIN IS BLINDED AND THIS TIME BY DIRT! HE LOOSENS THE GRIP AND CAROLINE IS BACK UP, SHE SPEARS SOLOMON INTO THE DIRT AND NOW SHE HAS GONE RABID! CAROLINE IS TRYING TO RIP HIS FACE APART!

Gavin Kirkland: SHE IS TRYING TO BIT HIS NOSE OFF! SOLOMON IS SCREAMING IN PAIN, BUT HE IS ABLE TO WEDGE HIS KNEE UNDER CAROLINE AND FLIPS HER OVER WITH EASE! CAROLINE SPRINGS BACK UP TO HER FEET AND CHARGE’S IN –

Deadprez: CALL OF THE VOID! THE DISCUS HAMMERSTRIKE JUST STOPPED CAROLINE COLD AS SHE DID A 360 AND FLIPPED WITH THE IMPACT LANDING ON THE FLOOR AND DIRT!

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

Eve: CAROLINE IS MOTIONLESS AS SOLOMON STANE STANDS OVER HER, SHE LIES AT HIS FEET AS HE PICKS HER UP BY THE HAIR AND PLACES HER ON HIS SHOULDERS! SOLOMON STATS TO CLIMB THAT MOUND OF DIRT! HE IS PLANNING TO DROP HER RIGHT INTO THE GRAVE AND FINISH THIS OFF!

(Solomon climbs the dirt mound, it would have been easier to get to it if they had made it up the stage and just walked across, but after he swung Caroline off, they needed to climb from the floor level. Solomon makes it to the top, only feet away from the opening – )

Gavin Kirkland: CAROLINE IS ABLE TO WIGGLE HERSELF AWAY FROM SOLOMON STANE! SHE LANDS AWKWARDLY ON THE DIRT BUT SOLOMON TURNS –

Deadprez: CAROLINE KICKS SOLOMON IN THE GUT! IT MAKES HIM BUCKLE QUICKLY OVER AS SHE GRABS HIS HEAD…. A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE! THE HEADLOCK DRIVER RIGHT IN THE DIRT FACE FIRST PLANTING SOLOMON!

Eve: ANY OTHER MATCH THAT WOULD USUALLY MEAN THE END OF HER OPPONENT! BUT IN THIS MATCH PINFALLS DO NOT COUNT! SHE HAS TO DRAG SOLOMON INTO THE EMPTY GRAVE!

Gavin Kirkland: THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT SHE IS DOING! CAROLINE WITH ALL OF HER STRENGTH IS TRYING TO DRAG SOLOMON TO THE OPENING OF THE GRAVE SITE! BUT CAN SHE DO IT!

(Caroline is screaming from the top of her lungs as she drags Solomon to the opening of the grave, but even she who has been bleeding and beaten has trouble doing it. Dropping to one knee and pushing herself back up.)

Deadprez: I don’t know how she is finding the strength! But she has Solomon almost there! She is now switching places! Making sure that her body is not too close to the edge of that grave! Caroline is not pulling on his arm to throw him in –

Eve: SOLOMON JUST GRABBED CAROLINE BY THE THROAT! THE MOVE WAS EFFECTING, BUT YOU HAVE TO THINK THAT DONE ON THAT MOUND OF DIRT MAY NOT HAVE HAD THE SAME DAMAGING RESULTS AS IF IT WAS DONE IN THE RING!

Gavin Kirkland: YOU ARE RIGHT EVE! THAT DIRT IS SOFT AND THAT IS PROBABLY WHAT HAPPENED! BUT HE HAS SAT UP WITH HIS HAND AROUND HER NECK, SLOWLY STANDING BACK UP, LIFTING HER UP –

Deadprez: THE TRIUMPH OF TRUTH! THE SITDOWN ONE HANDED POWERBOMB THAT MANY KNOWS AS THE SOUTHSIDE OF HEAVEN JUST SLAMMED CAROLINE ON THE DIRT! SHE IS STUNNED, ARCHING HER BACK IN PAIN, WHERE NORMALLY SHE WOULD PROBABLY BE UNCONSCIOUS! THE DAMAGE WAS DONE FOR THE MOST PART BUT STILL, WE KNOW THAT THE DIRT CAN DEFINITELY BREAK SOME OF THE FALL!

Eve: Is she stunned enough to fall into the grave is the question we need to ask one another!? Because Solomon is looking over her and he sees the mound of dirt, he grabs a handful and –

Gavin Kirkland: HE SHOVES DIRT IN HER FACE! HE IS MAKING HER EAT THAT DIRT! THAT IS GROTESQUE! SMEARING IT ALL OVER HER BLOODY FACE! THAT IS ABSOLUTELY HORRENDOUS AS SOLOMON STANE NOW GOES OVER AND PICKS UP THE SHOVEL!

Deadprez: I DON’T THINK IT IS GOING TO END WELL FOR CAROLINE HERE! SHE IS ABOUT TO TAKE A QUICK TUMBLE TO THE GRAVE! AS SHE’S ON HER FOURS COUGHING UP DIRT! SOLOMON RAISES THE SHOVEL!

(THWACK!!!!!)

Eve: THE SOUND OF SKIN BEING HIT BY THAT SHOVEL IS SICKENING AS CAROLINE SCREAMS IN PAIN!

(THWACK!!!!!)

Eve: HE DOES IT AGAIN! THAT IS ABSOLUTELY BRUTAL AS WE CAN ALREADY SEE THE WELTING ON CAROLINE’S BACK! SOLOMON STICK THE SHOVEL IN THE MOUND OF DIRT AS HE GRABS A HURT CAROLINE, HER LEGS ARE WOBBLY –

Solomon Stane: (Off Mic) He who is without sin? DIES! I am your sin eater!

Gavin Kirkland: Yup…. She’s dead.

Eve: SOLOMON STANE GORILLA PRESSES CAROLINE OVER HIS HEAD! HE HOLDS HER UP FOR THE ENTIRE EAW UNIVERSE TO SEE AS HE STANDS OVER THE GRAVE! HE IS ABOUT TO VEHEMENTLY THROW HER INTO THE GROUND ONCE AND FOR ALL!

Crowd: HOLY SHIT!!!!! HOLY SHIT!!!!! HOLY SHIT!!!!!

(Solomon parades around a little holding Caroline who is just dangling there – )

Deadprez: CAROLINE JUST SLIPPED OFF AND LOCKED HERSELF IN A CROSS ARM BAR! SOLOMON WAS SUGAR COATING TOO MUCH! HE WAS SHOWBOATING AND CAROLINE TOOK ADVANTAGE OF IT! SHE IS LOCKED IN AND SOLOMON IS DOING HIS BEST TO HOLD ON BUT HE DROPS TO ONE KNEE!

Gavin Kirkland: SHE IS DOING EVERYTHING IN HER POWER TO BRING HIM DOWN! BUT SOLOMON STAYS ON ONE KNEE AND NOW HE REACHES FOR THE SHOVEL, BUT SHE WILL NOT LET HIM, TIGHTENING HER GRIP! AND –

Eve: NOOOO! SOLOMON IS SHIFTING HIS WEIGHT AND HE IS SLOWLY POSITIONING HIMSELF OVER THE GRAVESITE! IF CAROLINE LETS GO, SHE WILL FALL IN! WHAT A GENIUS MOVE!

(Caroline can see the six foot drop, turning back to Solomon and this time using her foot to kick Solomon in the side of the face.)

Deadprez: THIS YOUNG WOMAN IS SO FLEXIBLE! SHE IS DOING EVERYTHING IN HER POWER TO SUBDUE SOLOMON AND SHE KICKS HIM AGAIN! HE TRIPS AND FALLS BACK! CAROLINE QUICKLY LET’S GO OF SOLOMON AND GRABS THE SHOVEL!

(THWACK!!!!!)

(THWACK!!!!!)

(THWACK!!!!!)

(THWACK!!!!!)

(THWACK!!!!!)

Eve: CAROLINE IS MAULING SOLOMON STANE! SHE IS HITTING HIM WITH EVERYTHING THAT SHE HAS! BUT NOTHING IS GOING TO STOP HER! LOOK AT THE RAGE IN HER FACE!

(Caroline is screaming as she stands there with Solomon Stane’s back now swelling up. Caroline swings hard – )

Deadprez: CAROLINE SWINGS FOR THE FENCES AND –

(THWACK!!!!!)

Deadprez: SHE JUST WALLOPED SOLOMON STANE IN THE HEAD WITH THE SHOVEL! AND HE IS ON THE EDGE AND SHE KICKS HIM OFF!

Eve: HE FELL IN! SOLOMON STANE FELL INTO THE HOLE!

(Caroline looks over at the mound of dirt and the bulldozer already and idol. She drops the shovel and – )

Gavin Kirkland: CAROLINE WAS TRIPPED UP! SOLOMON STANE HUNG ON TO THE EDGE AND SHE THOUGHT HE FELL IN! SOLOMON NOW CLIMBING OUT OF IT! HE LOOKS LIKE A HORROR MOVIE MONSTER CRAWLING OUT OF THE GRAVE! CAROLINE IS COMING BACK TO HER SENSES AS SOLOMON IS OUT OF THE GRAVE!

Eve: CAROLINE SEES THIS AND GOES FOR THE SHOVEL, NO! SOLOMON KICKS IT AWAY AND CAROLINE CRAWLS OFF THE DIRT AND TO THE STAGE! SHE IS ON THE STAGE AS SOLOMON FOLLOWS AND –

Deadprez: SHE DROP KICKS SOLOMON ON THE KNEES AND CAUSES HIM TO FALL FORWARD! CAROLINE HOOKS THE LEGS, CROSSES THEM…. WAIT…. CROWN OF MIDNIGHT! CAROLINE HAS THAT INVERTED BRIDGING INDIAN DEATHLOCK!

Eve: THERE ARE NO SUBMISSIONS IN THIS MATCH BUT IF SHE CAN TAKE THE LEGS FROM SOLOMON OUT THAT WILL WEAKEN HIM! SHE HAS TO REALLY DO THE DAMAGE HERE!

Gavin Kirkland: SHE REALLY DOES! THIS COULD BE THE BEGINNING OF THE END FOR SOLOMON STANE AS SHE CONTINUES TO WRENCH BACK! I DON’T KNOW HOW MUCH LONGER HE CAN HOLD ON! HE HAS NOWHERE TO GO AND –

(THWACK!!!!!)

Eve: THAT SHOVEL CAME DOWN HARD ON THE ABDOMEN OF CAROLINE BY SOLOMON’S WIFE. TRIXIE! YOU HAVE GOTTA BE KIIDDING ME!

(THWACK!!!!!)

Eve: ANOTHER ONE FOR GOOD MEASURE! AND CAROLINE LETS GO OF THE HOLD! SOLOMON IS SLOWLY TRYING TO GET BACK UP AS TRIXIE IS YELLING AT HIM TO! SHE HAS THE SHOVEL AND GOES TO HIT CAROLINE ONE MORE TIME AND –

Deadprez: CAROLINE SPIT A RED MIST IN TRIXIE’S FACE! SHE IS BLINDED! TRYING TO REGROUP HERSELF! CAROLINE IS BARELY ABLE TO STAND AND SHE JUMPS AT TRIXIE –

Gavin Kirkland: WRONG PLACE, WRONG TIME! THE PHOENIX DRAGONRANA ON TRXIE AND HER HEAD BOUNCED RIGHT INTO THE STEEL STAGE AND SHE JUST FELL DOWN TO THE SIDE UNCONSCIOUS! SHE IS NOT GOING TO BE A PROBLEM ANYMORE BUT SOLOMON IS BEHIND CAROLINE!

Deadprez: HE RUNS AT HER AND SO IT SHALL BE! THE DISCUS BOOT AND IT ALMOST TOOK CAROLINE’S HEAD OFF! SHE IS SPRAWLED OUT ON THE RAMPWAY AND NOW SOLOMON GABS HER BY THE ANKLES AND DRAGS HER UNCONSCIOUS BODY TO THE GRAVESITE!

(Solomon drags Caroline off the stage and into the dirt. He looks up into the heavens and starts to laugh, picking up Caroline and ready to dump her in.)

Solomon Stane: (Off Mic) NOW GO MEET THE DEVIL IN HELL!

Eve: SOLOMONA STANE HAS CAROLINE UP AND HE IS ABOUT TO THROW HER IN, BUT CAROLINE HAS SOMEHOW SOME FIGHT LEFT! SHE TRIES TO FIGHT HIM OFF BUT TO NO AVAIL! AS SOLOMON HOLDS HER BY THE NECK AND LIFTS HER OVER THE GRAVE SITE!

Deadprez: THIS IS SICK! SOLOMON STANE IS ABOUT TO BURY CAROLINE AND –

(SMACK!!!!!!!)

Gavin Kirkland: WTF!?!?!

Eve: HOW THE HELL!?!?

Deadprez: HOW DID THAT….. THE BULLDOZER JUST HIT SOLOMON AND KNOCKED HIM DOWN! CAROLINE HAS FALLEN BUT SHE HANGS ON TO THE SIDE OF THE GRAVE! I DON’T UNDERSTAND HOW THAT HAPPENED! THE BULLDOZER JUST SMACKED INTO SOLOMON AND NOW IT IS BEING RAISED OVER SOLOMON! OH NO!

(SMACK!!!!!!!)

(SMACK!!!!!!!)

(SMACK!!!!!!!)

Eve: THE BULLDOZER IS PUMMELING SOLOMON STANE AS CAROLINE IS BACK TO HER FEET AND LOOK AT HER! SHE IS SMILING! SOLOMON CAN’T EVEN GET UP; SHE PULLS HIM SLOWLY TO HIS KNEES AT THE EDGE OF THE GRAVE…. WAIT….

(Caroline rips the crucifix chain from the neck of Solomon and holds it in her hand.)

Caroline: (Off Mic) NO! You go to hell!

Gavin Kirkland: CAROLINE JUST STABBED THE CRUCIFIX INTO THE UPPER CHEST OF SOLOMON STANE AS HE SHAKES LOOKING AT HER BEFORE SHE KICKS HIM OFF –

Deadprez: HE LANDS IN THE GRAVE AND LOOK! IT’S SOME MASKED PERSON OR ACOLYTE, WHOEVER IT IS OPERATING THE BULLDOZER JUST SCOOPED UP A LARGE MOUND OF DIRT….. AND HE POURS IT IN THE GRAVE AS CAROLINE DROPS TO HER KNEES!

(DING!!!!! DING!!!!! DING!!!!!!)

Gina Romano: HERE IS YOUR WINNER….. CAROLINE!!!!

(“Living Dead Girl” by Rob Zombie starts to play throughout the arena as Caroline is on her knees, bleeding and barely able to stand. Blood running down her body, the red goo from her mouth, and the masked acolyte that helped her win is still in the bulldozer. They hop out and help to her feet as she just smiles with her opaque eyes looking down at the mound of dirt.)

Deadprez: DAWG… I DON’T KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON HERE AT PAIN FOR PRIDE BUT WE HAVE SOME INSANE HAPPENINGS AND SOMEONE NEEDS TO DIG SOLOMON STANE OUT! HE SHOULD HAVE WON THIS MATCH AGAIN! BUT THIS THING… THIS DRUID, ACOLYTE, WHATEVER THEY ARE WAS ABLE TO GET INTO THAT BULLDOZER AND KNOCK SOLOMON DOWN!

Eve: AFTER SOLOMON WAS ROCKED BY THE BULLDOZER, HE WAS DAZED, CAROLINE TOOK ADVANTAGE, HE FELL IN THE HOLE AND THIS PERSON THREW THE DIRT ON HIM FROM THE DOZER! WE HAVE WITNESSED A BURIED ALIVE MATCH!

Gavin Kirkland: I MEAN… SOMEONE SAVE HIM! NOT LIKE HIS WIFE CAN DO ANYTHING SHE UNCONSCIOUS ON THE RAMPWAY!

(Caroline starts to walk away with the Acolyte helping her, they slowly disappear into the fog and the shadows on the backstage area and the arena, crews now quickly run out to try and dig Solomon Stane out, they use the bulldozer to dig the dirt out.)

Deadprez: I have seen it all this weekend, man. These two evil beings just had a hell of a match, and somebody got buried.

Eve: Slomon Stane could die in that dirt, but Caroline comes off with a huge victory at Pain For Pride, I believe this is her first ever, that little minx had a plan, and she was ready!

Gavin Kirkland: We don’t know who this Acolyte is…. But what we do know is Solomon is probably in hell.

(The crew continue to dig the dirt, and they finally get to where the opening was…. And he is NOT there.)

Gavin Kirkland: HOW!? HE FELL IN! yeah… nah, I’m going to Disney, bye!

(The camera focuses on the grave and all they find is the crucifix he wears around his neck as IT slowly fades.)

(Slowly, we begin to return from commercial break, as the next match graphic plays on the screen…)

(https://i.imgur.com/nm0NunJ.png)

(We then return to ringside where we see Bella Braxton on the microphone.)

Bella Braxton: The following contest… IS THE 2024 CASH IN THE VAULT LADDER MATCH!!!!

Crowd: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

(The crowd would be left waiting, before they begin to die down. Suddenly, between all of the silence, the titantron completely lit up white as if someone was slowly coming down from the heavens, before in the speakers, “A Tragic Decision” by ACE+ started to play on the speakers, everyone in the crowd confused as they did not recognize this song at all, before someone slowly started to walk out onto the stage with their back turned towards them while the violins, the piano slowly started to grow stronger, the opera singing calmly getting to a crescendo as finally, it was clear that the woman coming coming out was none other than ARIA. As she donned a completely white ring attire and on her back, a set of wings that she completely spread out to show various names of her friends, her family, everything that she did before arriving here, and the name of ARIA written all over the wings… before out of nowhere she took them off and let them drop to the ground.)

Bella Braxton: Hailing from Chandler, Arizona… weighing in at 110 lbs… ‘THE PARIAH’ ARIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA… LESTRADEEEEEEEEEEEE!

(Aria Lestrade quickly turned over and finally showed her face unmasked, the stitches all around her face making her look like a complete monster, as she let out a sickly smile once the camera pointed towards her, once again showing a finger gun directly to it before firing off and then walking down the ramp with a confident stride. She quickly arrived towards the ring apron, hopping on and then getting on the top rope, spreading her arms out and instead of receiving cheers as before, she received genuinely loud boos that only made her smile a bit more, she was the hero before, and now she arrived as the villain. She hopped off and took her spot on the ring.)

(Moments later, ‘il vento d’oro’ by Yugo Kanno would begin to play through the speakers, as the crowd bursts into an immediate fit of cheers. MITSU would step out through the crowd, posing atop the stage, before walking down the ramp, his large Japanese culturally inspired jacket draped across the mat, making his way towards the ring.)

Bella Braxton: Hailing from Sōka, Saitama, Japan, weighing in at 187 pounds… ‘THE GOLDEN DOYEN’… MIIIITSUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!

(MITSU would quickly slide into the ring, before facing the hardcam. He shot his pose, as his theme song began to fade out. Seconds later, it would be replaced by ‘Gloria’ by Laura Branigan. The audience returned to loud boos, as Bea Valentine stepped out through the curtains. She sported a green and white satin-materialized attire, with a white see through jacket that followed LONG behind her. She began to walk down the ramp, with her theatrics boasting through, a highly exaggerated entrance, must contrasted to how she usually approaches Voltage entrance ever since her Championship loss. Her aura is completely different, the Pain For Pride energy bursting through, and it was very evident that TONIGHT was the reason for this.)

Bella Braxton: Hailing from Boston, Massachusetts, weighing in at 143 pounds… SHE IS “THE QUEEN BEA”… BEAAAAAAAA VALENTIIIIIIIIINEEEEEEEE!!!

(Bea would slowly step up the steel steps, each step more exaggerated than the last, before she entered the ring, posing down the hard cam, as her theme began to fade out. It would soon be replaced by ‘Rhapsody in Pink’ by Stela Cole Clean Version, a mixed reaction from the crowd. Stepping out in an attire that is very reminiscent of a disney princess, the gloss and glamour, alongside a crown, Candice Blair would extend her hands at the top of the ramp, a giant grin on her face! Gavin Kirkland could be heard jumping around on the announce table, as Candice slowly began to walk down the ramp!)

Bella Braxton: Hailing from Anaheim, California… weighing in at 130 pounds… SHE IS “THE FACE OF DISNEY”… CANDIIIIIIIIICE BLAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIRRRRRRRR!!!

(Candice would step up the steel steps, before removing her crown. Gently, she would place it on the ring post, after giving it a soft kiss, entering the ring, removing her jacket. She would climb to the top rope, and pose, showing off her **PG** good looks! The ‘Disney Hot’ woman would step down, as her theme song faded out. “Loose Change” instrumental version by The Alchemist soon replaced it, as the entire audience began to transition into LARGE boos. Stepping out through the curtains, completely juxtaposed to Candice Blair’s glossy, glamorous attire, steps out Shinzo Sasaki, a white and red suit and tie, and a white mask. He would slowly begin to rip the suit, revealing a similarly coloured attire, before stepping down the ramp.)

Bella Braxton: Introducing next… hailing from Kobe, Japan​, weighing in at 220 pounds… “THE LEADER OF THE UNDERWORLD…” SHINZOOOOOO SAAAAASAAAAAAAKIIIIIIIII!!!!

(Shinso would climb up onto the hardcam-facing apron, before slowly removing his mask. He would throw it to the outside, before stepping inside into the ring. He made his way up the turnbuckles, standing tall, as he posed once more. His theme song would then begin to fade out… before ‘”I Rise” by Cory Marks replaced it.)

(The audience began to cheer as loud as they possibly could, with the camera panning over to the stage. Stepping out through the curtains was Donovan Duke, wearing a large coat, fluff around the collars. He took a deep breath, his eyes focused on the briefcase, before turning around as he walked down the ramp. Spray Painted on the back of his jacket, the words “#LASTCHANCE.”)

Bella Braxton: Introducing last… hailing from Stillwater Oklahoma, weighing in at 212 pounds… HE IS THE OKLAHOMA STORM… DONOVAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN DUUUUUUUUUUUUKEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

(Donovan Duke would climb onto the apron, before making his way up the turnbuckles. He removed his jacket, looking around the arena, before at his opponents. He understood what he had to do next. Jumping down into the ring, he paced around, before posing down the hard cam. His theme faded out… before the bell rung.)

(DING! DING! DING!)

Stew-O: And we are underway! Shinzo Sasaki; MITSU; Bea Valentine; Donovan Duke; ARIA Lestrade; Candice Blair, one of these six Elitists will earn that Cash in the Vault briefcase, and walk out of Pain For Pride with a near guaranteed World Championship in their hands! Last year at Road To Redemption we saw Charlie Marr cash the briefcase in, a year before that, at the same event, it was Jake Smith, and before that also at Road To Redemption, it was Myles! Could one of these Elitists punch their ticket into that elite category of Elitists, all three of our previous Cash in the Vault holders in Pain For Pride main events this year! That’s what is at stake here tonight!

Gavin Kirkland: This match is going to be huge for whoever comes out victorious, but in the meantime… this is going to be VERY fun for all three of us! Cash in the Vault has always produced some of the most insane, daring, risk-taking moments in Pain For Pride history, for better or for worse! Last year, this match caused Joso to need medical attention due to a wound on his elbow, blood literally spraying out like a fountain, he wasn’t being let back into competition until it was patched up! He almost LOST that match, as Alex Myers climbed up the ladder, almost unhooking the briefcase, but Joso accepted a rush job, and despite all the blood loss, saved the match for himself! That’s what this match means to these Elitists!

Persephone: I’m still mad he didn’t just push away the doctor and bleed out. Imagine someone climbing a ladder then just losing consciousness. :mjlol:

Stew-O: But that was last year, and this is now! I’m sure these Elitists are going to push each other EVEN MORE!

(As the bell rung; every Elitist would quickly slide out of the ring, to grab a ladder. All avoiding one another, they slide the ladders into the ring, before entering once more!)

Stew-O: OH MY! They’re not wasting any time! They all grab ladders, looking to set it up- BUT WAIT! ONE OF THEM… ONE OF THEM GRABBED A DIFFERENT WEAPON!

Gavin Kirkland: MITSU GRABBED HIS FAVOURITE WEAPON! A TRASH CAN! HE KNEW THAT EVERYBODY WAS GOING TO GRAB A LADDER, HE JUST GRABBED SOMETHING TO USE TO HIS ADVANTAGE! HE KICKS DONOVAN DUKE IN THE GUT, SLAMMING THE TRASH CAN DOWN ON HIS HEAD!

Stew-O: NO! DONOVAN CATCHES THE TRASH CAN, AND RIPS IT OUT OF MITSU’S HANDS! HE KICKS MITSU IN THE GUT… BEFORE PLACING THE TRASH CAN OVER HIM! HIS ENTIRE UPPER BODY IS NOW STUCK INSIDE THE TRASH CAN!

(MITSU stumbles back into the center of the ring, all of his opponents looking at him…)

Donovan Duke: https://media1.tenor.com/m/lYS7Es2CYvgAAAAC/cesaro-whatever.gif

Stew-O: ‘DEALER’S CHOICE’!!! THE SPINNING BACKFIST TO MITSU, SENDING HIM CRASHING DOWN TO THE MAT!

Gavin Kirkland: BUT WE’RE NOT DONE! THE TRASH CAN IS STILL OVER HIS HEAD, AND THIS TIME, ARIA LIFTS HIM UP TO HIS FEET!!! OH NO… ‘GOD SHATTERING STAR’!!!! THE BUSAIKU KNEE!!!!!!

Stew-O: AND NOW IT’S CANDICE BLAIR’S TURN! SHE LIFTS MITSU UP… THE SPINNING WHEEL KICK!!! ‘SPINNING WHEEL’ KNOCKS MITSU DOWN!!!

Gavin Kirkland: AND HERE COMES SHINZO! HE LIFTS MITSU BACK UP… BEFORE SENDING HIM RIGHT BACK DOWN! ‘BOOMERANG’!!! THE HANDSPRING BACK ELBOW, SENDING MITSU DOWN **AGAIN**!!!!

(MITSU is practically lifeless as the trash can is folding in on him. He isn’t moving.)

Bea Valentine: (off-mic) Such violence. :face_exhaling:

(The rest of the Elitists look at her.)

Bea Valentine: (off-mic) ??????

(They look back down at MITSU.)

Bea Valentine: (off-mic) Fine! :weary:

Stew-O: OH NO! AND NOW BEA IS GETTING INVOLVED! MITSU IS SLOWLY BEING PULLED BACK TO HIS FEET… ‘BEA TRIGGER’!!! THE BICYCLE KNEE TAKES MITSU BACK DOWN, AS THE TRASH CAN COMES FLYING OFF HIS HEAD! THAT MIGHT BE IT FOR MITSU, THEY ALL SAW AN OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE HIM OUT AND THEY DID! MITSU IS DOWN AND OUT, AND IT LEAVES JUST FIVE FOR THE TIME BEING!

MITSU: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/569475698050465832/1254006590013444137/image.png?ex=6677ec25&is=66769aa5&hm=cc33abeefb65dd77570bc4c27532f770285fd37e86e4d025f05e3b2c2b4691cf&

(Shinzo Sasaki would roll MITSU out of the ring with his boot as Shinzo, Bea, ARIA and Candice all watch on at the ropes…)

(But…)

Stew-O: AND NOW THIS MATCH FINALLY KICKS OFF! DONOVAN HAS CASH IN THE VAULT EXPERIENCE, AND HE KNOWS NOT TO TURN YOUR BACK ON YOUR OPPONENTS! DONOVAN QUICKLY SETS UP A LADDER AND BEGINS TO CLIMB UP!

Gavin Kirkland: BUT SHINZO SASAKI IS QUICK TO NOTICE! THEY ALL TOOK OUT MITSU, LIKELY TO TAKE SOMEONE OUT OF THE MATCH TACTICALLY GIVEN THEY FOUND THE OPPORTUNITY, BUT PERHAPS ALSO DUE TO THE DISRESPECT THEY WERE SHOWN THIS WEEK! BUT THEY SNAP OUT OF IT AND COME BACK INTO THE MATCH! SHINZO GRABS DONOVAN’S BOOT, AND PULLS HIM DOWN THE LADDER, SHOVING HIM INTO THE LADDER!

Stew-O: CANDICE BLAIR LOOKS TO JOIN IN- BUT LOOK! ARIA AND BEA GRAB HER BY THE HAIR, BEFORE THROWING HER INTO THE CORNER! ARIA AND BEA BEGIN TO PUNCH CANDICE BLAIR, FORCING HER INTO A SEATED POSITION!

Gavin Kirkland: HOWEVER, LOOK AT BEA! SHE SLIPS OUT OF IT, AND WALKS OVER TO THE LADDER! SHE BEGINS TO CLIMB UP THE RUNGS!

Stew-O: AND ARIA NOTICES! SHE TURNS HER HEAD AROUND, BEFORE RUSHING OVER! SHE PULLS BEA VALENTINE DOWN OFF THE LADDER!

Gavin Kirkland: Look at the jiggle on Bea-

Stew-O: AHEM; BEFORE ARIA THROWS A ‘ZIRCON CUTTER’ AT BEA! NO! BEA CATCHES HER AND SHOVES HER FORWARD! ARIA STUMBLES, BEFORE EVENTUALLY TURNING AROUND… GETTING CAUGHT WITH THE BEA STING!!! THE LEAPING MUSHROOM STOMP TAKES ARIA OUT!

Gavin Kirkland: NOPE! ARIA DUCKS UNDERNEATH IT, AND QUICKLY RUSHES TO THE LADDER! ARIA BEGINS TO MAKE THE LONG CLIMB TO THE TOP, HOPEFULLY LOOKING TO CAPITALISE AND GRAB THE BRIEFCASE! COULD THIS BE IT FOR ARIA!?

Stew-O: BUT LOOK! DONOVAN DUKE AND SHINZO’S BRAWL SPILLS OUT TOWARDS THE LADDER, THEY BEGIN TO PUSH IT OVER ACCIDENTALLY!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: ARIA JUMPS OFF IN THE NICK OF TIME- BUT BEA VALENTINE CATCHES HER! SIT OUT POWERBOMB! SIT OUT POWERBOMB IN THE CENTRE OF THE RING AND ARIA IMMEDIATELY CLUTCHES ONTO HER BACK! BEA IS ABOUT TO GET UP-

Stew-O: HERE COMES CANDICE! SHE USES BEA’S BACK AS A SPRINGBOARD AS SHE’S ON ALL FOURS, AND LAUNCHES TOWARDS DONOVAN AND SHINZO! A DOUBLE TORNADO DDT!!!! ‘COLOURS OF THE WIND’!!! SHE DIDN’T GET QUITE AS MUCH MOMENTUM AS SHE USUALLY WOULD DUE TO HITTING IT ON TWO PEOPLE, BUT IT WAS ENOUGH TO SPIKE THEM ON THEIR DOMES!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: AND NOW IT’S JUST BETWEEN CANDICE AND BEA! THE PRINCESS AND THE QUEEN! DONOVAN AND SHINZO OUT TEMPORARILY, ARIA OUT TEMPORARILY, MITSU MAY JUST BE OUT PERMANENTLY; NOW IT’S JUST BETWEEN CANDICE AND BEA! IF THEY ACT FAST ENOUGH, WE COULD HAVE A WINNER ALREADY! BUT PART OF ME KNOWS THAT IT WON’T BE THIS SIMPLE! CANDICE SHOVES THE LADDER OUT OF THE WAY, THE REST OF THE LADDERS ON THE APRON… BEFORE THE TWO CHARGE TOWARDS ONE ANOTHER! CANDICE BLAIR THROWS A LARIA-

Stew-O: BEA VALENTINE DUCKS UNDER IT, AND HITS THE ROPES! SHE REBOUNDS BACK AND TAKES CANDICE OUT WITH A SLINGBLADE!

Gavin Kirkland: BUT CANDICE HOLDS ONTO BEA’S WAIST – SUCH A LUCKY WOMAN – AND PLANTS HER BACK ON HER FEET! CANDICE NOW AIMS TO TAKE HER OUT BY HITTING A WHEELBARROW FACEBUSTER! ‘RAGS TO RICHES’!!!!!

Stew-O: BUT BEA ROLLS HER FORWARD AND SENDS CANDICE STUMBLING-

Gavin Kirkland: ‘ZIRCON DRIVER’ BY ARIA!!!! THE TIGER DRIVER TAKES CANDICE OUT-

Stew-O: CANDICE FLOATS OVER IT, AND PUSHES ARIA FORWARD, WHO IS SWIFTLY MET BY SHINZO SASAKI! ‘THE POISON PILL’!!! SWINGING REVERSE STO TRANSITIONED INTO A DDT!!!!

(**CRASH!!**)

Stew-O: OH MY GOD! BUT BEFORE HE COULD CONNECT WITH IT; DONOVAN DUKE IS IN THE RING WITH A LADDER! ‘GAMBLER’S ROULETTE’!!!! THE GIANT SWING… BUT HE’S DOING IT ON THE LADDER! HE’S SWINGING THE LADDER ROUND IN A SPIRAL, AND HE HIT SHINZO SASAKI STRAIGHT IN THE HEAD WITH IT!!!!

(**CRASH!!**)

Gavin Kirkland: AND NOW STRAIGHT INTO CANDICE BLAIR’S FACE TOO! I HOPE HER DISNEY HOT LOOKS AREN’T RUINED, THAT’D BE A DAMN TRAVESTY!!! DONOVAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!! YOU CAN’T ESCAPE ME! I’LL CHASE YOU TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH!!!!

(**CRASH!!**)

Stew-O: AND NOW THIS TIME DONOVAN COLLIDES WITH BEA VALENTINE! SHE ATTEMPTED TO CHARGE IN AND TAKE DONOVAN OUT, BUT SHE WAS CAUGHT AT THE LAST SECOND STRAIGHT IN THE GUT, AND SHE TUMBLES TO THE OUTSIDE!

Gavin Kirkland: OH GOD! FIRST CANDICE, THEN BEA, AND NOW DONOVAN’S LOOKING TO SWING IT AT ARIA! COULDN’T YOU HAVE HIT HER FIRST!

(**CRA-**)

Gavin Kirkland: HAJKHSDAHKLJASDLFJHSFKDLJHSFDKJLH!!!! ARIA DUCKS UNDERNEATH IT! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK!

Stew-O: AND NOW ARIA CONNECTS WITH A HUGE SHOT TO DONOVAN DUKE’S GUT! DONOVAN STUMBLES, AND THE GIANT SWING WITH THE LADDER COMES TO A CLOSE! DONOVAN STILL HAS IT IN HIS HANDS THOUGH! ARIA NOTICES THIS, UPON RETURNING TO HER FEET, AND LOOKS TO RUN UP THE LADDER! ‘GOD SHATTERING STAR’!!!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: NO! DONOVAN DROPS TO HIS BACK, AND SLINGSHOTS THE LADDER INTO THE CORNER, WITH ARIA RESTING ON HER BACK! ARIA GOES FACE-FIRST INTO THE TURNBUCKLES, AND THE LADDER COLLIDES STRAIGHT INTO HER BACK!

Stew-O: ARIA FALLS TO THE OUTSIDE HERSELF, AND NOW DONOVAN IS THE ONLY ONE LEFT STANDING!!! DONOVAN RETURNS TO HIS FEET, AND GRABS A MUCH BIGGER LADDER THAN WHAT HE WAS USING TO SWING AROUND, AND HE SETS IT UP! COULD WE HAVE A DONOVAN DUKE CASH IN THE VAULT VICTORY! COULD HIS #LASTCHANCE BE HIS **BEST** CHANCE AT BECOMING WORLD CHAMPION???

Gavin Kirkland: DONOVAN DUKE BEGINS TO CLIMB UP THE LADDER, ONE RUNG AFTER THE OTHER, HE SLOWLY BEGINS TO MAKE IT TO THE TOP-

Donovan Duke:(off-mic) ?????

MITSU: https://media1.tenor.com/m/W_opD_CihSEAAAAC/harry-kane-crawling.gif

Stew-O: BUT IT’S MITSU AT THE BOTTOM OF THE LADDER! I’M NOT SURE HOW HE’S EVEN CONSCIOUS NEVERTHELESS CRAWLING, BUT HERE HE IS! DONOVAN TRIES TO CRAWL TO THE TOP OF THE LADDER, BUT MITSU CHASES HIM UP!

Gavin Kirkland: DONOVAN REACHES THE BRIEFCASE THOUGH! HE GRABS IT-

Stew-O: MITSU WITH A HIGH KICK TO DONOVAN’S ARM! DONOVAN QUICKLY PULLS HIS ARM DOWN, AND MITSU MAKES IT HIGHER UP THE LADDER! MITSU GOT ABSOLUTELY COOKED EARLIER, BUT PERHAPS HE IS ABLE TO PULL THROUGH! HE GRABS DONOVAN… NO! NO NO NO NO NO!!!

Gavin Kirkland: EXPLODER SUPLEX OFF THE LADDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stew-O: DONOVAN GOES CRASHING DOWN INTO THE MAT, AND MITSU HANGS ON! HE’S ALONE AT THE TOP, PRETTY MUCH! COULD MITSU BECOME MR. CASH IN THE VAULT? HE HAD HIS ATTEMPT BACK IN 2020, AND NOW, HE COULD LIVE UP TO THAT FOUR YEAR PROMISE! MITSU CLIMBS TO THE TOP, AND HE REACHES UP TO GRAB THE BRIEFCAS-

Gavin Kirkland: BUT WATCH OUT FOR THE SHOEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!

Stew-O: BEA VALENTINE THROWS THE SHOEEEEEEEEEEEEE STRAIGHT INTO MITSU’S HEAD…

(**CRASH!**)

Stew-O: CAUSING HIM TO DROP OFF THE LADDER, AND CRASH INTO THE MAT! THAT MAY BE IT! MITSU BAY BE DONE!!! THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO WAY THAT HE’S COMING BACK INTO THIS MATCH! HE’S DONE FOR!

Gavin Kirkland: THAT DOESN’T MATTER TO ME THOUGH!!!! BEA VALENTINE THREW THAT HIGH HEEL STRAIGHT AT MITSU, AND NOW SHE HAS AN OPENING! BEA VALENTINE SLOWLY BEGINS TO CLIMB UP THE LADDER, THERE’S ONLY ONE DESTINATION AT THE TOP AND THAT’S WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP GLORY JUST ONE CASH IN AWAY! COULD SHE DO IT????

Stew-O: BEA VALENTINE REACHES UP… AND SHE GRABS ONTO THE BRIEFCASE!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!

Stew-O: BUT HERE COMES SHINZO SASAKI! HE CLIMBS UP THE LADDER JUST UNDERNEATH BEA VALENTINE, BEFORE GRABBING HER BY THE HAIR! SHE SLAMS HER DOWN INTO THE TOP OF THE LADDER, AND THAT STUNS HER! COULD SHINZO CAPITALISE HERE, AND WIN THE CASH IN THE VAULT BRIEFCASE??? SHINZO REACHES UP-

Gavin Kirkland: BUT BEA BEGINS TO RAKE AT SHINZO’S EYES! USING HER NAILS TO DIG INTO HIS FACE, SHE SCRATCHES HIM, STUNNING HIM BACK! BEA NOW! BEA GOES TO CAPITALISE, REACHING FOR THE BRIEFCASE!

Stew-O: AND SHE… SHE…

Persephone: Fucking sucks. :mjlol2:!!!!

Stew-O: SHINZO GRABS HER BY THE HEAD, AND LIFTS HER UP FOR A VERTICAL DROP BRAINBUSTER FROM THE TOP OF THE LADDER!!!! ‘ENTER THE DRAGON’!!!!!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: BUT BEA VALENTINE SLIPS OFF OF IT, LANDING ON SHINZO’S BACK! SHE TRIES TO CRAWL OVER HIM, REACHING THE BRIEFCASE!!!

Stew-O: NOPE! SHINZO PUSHES HER DOWN, AND BEA DROPS DOWN OFF THE LADDER! IT WASN’T TOO BAD OF A LANDING, BUT THAT MAY NOT MATTER, AS SHINZO BEGINS TO CRAWL!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: YES! YES! YES! BEA GRABS ONTO SHINZO’S ANKLE, AND STARTS TO PULL HIM DOWN WITH HER! WHAT A GREAT REACTION FROM BEA, IF SHE ISN’T IN ANY POSITION TO WIN RIGHT NOW, SHE HAS TO DRAG SHINZO DOWN FROM HIS POSITION OF VICTORY!

Stew-O: BEA PULLS SHINZO DOWN BACK TO THE MAT, BEFORE KICKING HIM IN THE GUT! SHE GOES FOR THE UNPRETTIER!!! ‘BEA-MY-VALENTINE’!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: SHINZO SPINS OUT OF IT… ‘MADVILLAINY’!!!! THE EXPLODER ‘98 CONNECTS, DROPPING BEA VALENTINE ON THE BACK OF HER HEAD! THAT’S SHINZO SASAKI’S FINISHING MANOEUVRE!!! BEA VALENTINE BOUNCES UP TO A SEATED BASE, AND HER EYES ARE CLEARLY OUT OF IT! MY BAE! MY BAE!!!!!

Stew-O: BEA VALENTINE ROLLS OUT OF THE RING, LEAVING JUST SHINZO ON HIS OWN! SHINZO CRAWLS OVER TO THE LADDER, NOW MAKING HIS WAY BACK UP!

(However, as Shinzo slowly makes his way up the ladder, Candice Blair slides back into the ring! She slides a ladder in between two rungs, and atop the middle turnbuckle, before she starts to climb opposite Shinzo!)

Stew-O: OH NO! THIS CAN’T BE GOOD FOR ONE OF THESE TWO ELITISTS! SHINZO WAS SO CLOSE TO BEING ALONE AND COMING OUT VICTORIOUS, BUT HERE COMES CANDICE TO STOP HIM! SHE CLIMBS UP ALONGSIDE HIM, BEFORE GRABBING HIM BY THE HAIR! CANDICE SLAMS SHINZO INTO THE LADDER!!!

Gavin Kirkland: CANDICE, JUST GO AND WIN! DON’T RISKY HARMING YOURSELF BY TRYING TO TAKE SOMEONE OUT OF THE MATCH!!! DON’T HARM THAT GORGEOUS FACE! TAKE ME INSTEAD! I’LL DO IT!

Persephone: She can’t hear you, you fucking rat.

Gavin Kirkland: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Stew-O: CANDICE BLAIR GRABS SHINZO SASAKI IN A FRONT FACELOCK, AND WRAPS HIS ARM OVER HER SHOULDER! SHE’S LOOKING TO SUPLEX HIM STRAIGHT ONTO THE LADDER BRIDGE THAT IS DIRECTLY UNDERNEATH THEM! THIS COULD BE AWFUL! SHE’S GOING TO TAKE HERSELF OUT IN THE PROCESS, NEVERTHELESS SHINZO SASAKI! NO!

Gavin Kirkland: YES! YES! YES! SHINZO FIGHTS BACK, SHE HITS CANDICE BLAIR IN THE GUT! CANDICE ISN’T GONNA BOUNCE OFF A LADDER!!!! WAIT… NO NO NO!

Stew-O: IT MAY NOT BE THE LADDER, BUT SHINZO IS GONNA ATTEMPT A SUPLEX OF HIS OWN STRAIGHT INTO THE RING! AND, LET ME TELL YOU, THAT ISN’T AN ORDINARY SUPLEX…

(…)

Stew-O: # ‘MADVILLAINY’!!!!!!!!

(…)

Gavin Kirkland: ARIA! ARIA! ARIA! ARIA CLIMBS UP UNDERNEATH CANDICE BLAIR, PULLING HER DOWN AND FREEING HER! ARIA REDEMPTION ARC????

Stew-O: THE TWO ARE PUTTING THEIR DIFFERENCES ASIDE, TO TAKE OUT SHINZO SASAKI HERE! THEY BOTH HOOK HIS ARMS… OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Persephone: 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤

Gavin Kirkland: NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! ARIA AND CANDICE BLAIR SUPLEX SHINZO SASAKI STRAIGHT INTO THE LADDER BRIDGE, AND THEY ALL BOUNCE METRES INTO THE AIR! THAT IMPACT MUST HAVE HURT!!!! THAT IMPACT MIGHT HAVE KILLED THEM!

Crowd: :damn:!!!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: QUICK LET ME GO AND PERFORM CPR ON CANDICE-

Persephone: She’s FINE. Let it happen.

Stew-O: CANDICE AND ARIA BOTH TAKE SHINZO SASAKI OUT, THE LEADER OF THE UNDERWORLD ROLLING OUT OF THE RING IMMEDIATELY UPON IMPACT! CANDICE AND ARIA CONNECT WITH THE EDGE OF THE LADDER BUT THEY DIDN’T NEARLY HAVE AS BAD A LANDING AS SHINZO, WITH LESS MOMENTUM AND LESS TO LAND ON! THEY BOTH HOLD ONTO THEIR SPINES, BUT ULTIMATELY, THEY RECOVER!

Gavin Kirkland: However… that temporary alliance WAS temporary! It wasn’t going to last any longer than it did, and now, they have no choice but to aim for one another! They’re both in one another’s way, and they can only become the Cash in the Vault holder if they take the other down! They move the ladder out of the way, before they begin to hockey fight! Trading rights beside the ladder, they throw haymakers at one another, just hoping the other falls! Right, after right, after right-

Stew-O: And Candice stumbles back! ARIA won the striking contest, seemingly, as she charges forwa-

Gavin Kirkland: ‘ALMOST THERE’!!!! THE DISCUS LARIAT SENDS ARIA FLIPPING THROUGH THE AIR, LANDING ON HER KNEES! THAT DISCUS LARIAT TOOK HER OUT, AND CANDICE BLAIR MAY JUST BE IN THE PERFECT POSITION TO CLIMB UP THE LADDER AND-

Stew-O: ‘ZIRCON CUTTER’!!! ARIA HAS ONE LAST WAVE OF ADRENALINE AS SHE LEAPS UP AND CONNECTS WITH A HUGE CUTTER, AND THAT TAKES BOTH ELITISTS OUT! ARIA FEELING THE EFFECTS OF THE LARIAT, CANDICE FEELING THE EFFECTS OF THE CUTTER, BOTH SHOWDOWN ELITISTS ARE WIPED OUT!!!

(Candice Blair and ARIA both lie still in the middle of the ring, struggling to gather their wits, but not completely knocked out, just about clinging onto consciousness. Eventually, they slowly recover up to their feet, the crowd calming down, both of them holding onto their jaws. They pull themselves up, looking for a striking contest AGAIN!)

Stew-O: But STILL, they want more from each other! ARIA goes to strike Candice-

Gavin Kirkland: ‘DEALER’S CHOICE’!!!!!!!!! DONOVAN DUKE FROM OUT OF NOWHERE HITS THE SPINNING BACKFIST, AND ARIA DROPS DOWN, ROLLING TO THE OUTSIDE!!!

Stew-O: BUT CANDICE BLAIR IS STILL STANDING! SHE CHARGES TOWARDS DONOVAN-

Gavin Kirkland: ‘DRAWING DEAD’!!! THE MICHINOKU DRIVER DROPS CANDICE STRAIGHT ONTO HER DOME, AND SHE ROLLS OUT ALONGSIDE ARIA! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! DONOVAN TOOK OUT MY FAVOURITE, AND NOW HE’S GONNA WIN! I HATE THIS! I HATE THIS SO MUCH!

Stew-O: DONOVAN PULLS THE LADDER, LOOKING TO SET IT UP MUCH CLOSER TO THE BRIEFCAS- WAIT! WAIT!

Gavin Kirkland: HERE COMES BEA VALENTINE! SHE CHARGES FORWARD AND GRABS DONOVAN BY THE WAIST… CONNECTING WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX! SHE DROPS DONOVAN ON HIS SHOULDERS, BEFORE ROLLING OVER, AND LIFTING HIM UP FOR ANOTHER GERMAN SUPLEX! MY NEW FAVOURITE IS HERE, AND SHE’S GONNA WIN THE MATCH!!!

Stew-O: BEA VALENTINE IS ALL ALONE IN THE RING, AND THE LADDER IS READY TO CLIMB-

MITSU:https://i.redd.it/zq31ubdrua851.gif

Stew-O: MITSU!!! HOW IS HE HERE! HOW IS HE BACK? BEA VALENTINE HAS NO TIME TO REACT, AS MITSU GRABS HER BY THE WAIST, BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A HUGE GERMAN SUPLEX STRAIGHT INTO THE LADDER ON THE GROUND! BEA GRABS ONTO HER NECK, AND MITSU CRAWLS BACK OVER TO THE LADDER! HE GOT REVENGE FOR BEA VALENTINE THROWING THE SHOE!

Gavin Kirkland: BUT BEA ISN’T OUT OF IT! SHE GRABS ONTO MITSU’S BOOT, AND PULLS HIM BACK! SLOWLY RISING TO HER FEET SHE LOOKS TO CONNECT WITH… ‘BEA TRIGGER’!!!!!!

Stew-O: MITSU SIDESTEPS IT! BEA STUMBLES INTO THE ROPES… BEFORE BEING CLOBBERED WITH A NORTHERN LARIAT!!! BEA DROPS TO THE FLOOR, AND NOW MITSU IS LEFT STANDING!!!

Gavin Kirkland: AND CLEARLY, HE’S SETTING SOMETHING UP!!! MITSU LOOKS DOWN THE HARDCAM…

MITSU: https://pa1.aminoapps.com/6067/8bd4d678b7f653a4960404309eb120caa43da7e7_hq.gif

Gavin Kirkland: IT’S COMING!!!! THE RIPCORD LARIAT IS COMING!!!! MITSU GRABS BEA BY THE WAIST… HE HOOKS THE WRIST….

Stew-O: ‘DOYEN’S DOMINION’!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: ‘BEA TRIGGER’!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stew-O: THE BEA TRIGGER CONNECTS, AND MITSU FALLS DOWN TO THE OUTSIDE!!! HE LANDS IN BETWEEN CANDICE, ARIA, AND DONOVAN, AS THEY’RE ALL RECOVERING TO THEIR FEET…

Gavin Kirkland: NO! NO NO NO! BEA HAS AN IDEA!!! SHE LOOKS AT EVERYONE ON THE OUTSIDE… THEN UP AT THE LADDER!!! NO… DON’T CLIMB IT!!

Persephone: YES! SHE’S CLIMBING IT!!! :blessed:

(Bea Valentine looks down to the outside, as she makes her way up the ladder. She looks to jump… but she has an idea…)

Bea Valentine: (off-mic) Wait… neaux, this isn’t something *I* have to do. :face_exhaling:

Crowd: :lupe:

Bea Valentine: (off-mic) CORNELIUS!!!!!!!!

Stew-O: CORNELIUS????????

Gavin Kirkland: CORNELIUS!!!!!!!!

Stew-O: OH MY GOD… THAT’S… BEA’S BUTLER!!! HE’S RUNNING DOWN THE RAMP, AND SLIDING INTO THE RING!!! THERE’S NO WAY HE’S ABOUT TO-

Gavin Kirkland: HE IS! BEA IS CLIMBING DOWN THE LADDER, AND WAVING AT CORNELIUS TO CLIMB UP!!! THIS MIGHT JUST BE THE GREATEST MOMENT IN PAIN FOR PRIDE HISTORY!!!! CORNELIUS IS CLIMBING TO THE TOP OF THE LADDER!!

Stew-O: AND THE ELITISTS ON THE OUTSIDE HAVE NO IDEA! THEY’RE BUSY RECOVERING, THEY’RE ALL STUNNED, MEANWHILE THE 255 POUND LARGE MAN IS ATOP THE LADDER! OH GOD! HERE HE COMES!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: DIVING CROSSBODY!!!!!!!!!! CORNELIUS DIVES OFF THE TOP ROPE, AND WHILE HIS FORM ISN’T PRETTY, THE LANDING SURE DOES THE JOB!!! HE TAKES EVERYBODY OUT!!!!!

Stew-O: THE CROWD IS GOING ABSOLUTELY BALLISTIC, CORNELIUS PROBABLY JUST FELL FROM THE BIGGEST HEIGHT HE’S EVER FALLEN FROM AT A RIPE AGE OF 52!!! BEA VALENTINE IS CLAPPING HIM ON, EVIDENTLY HAPPY WITH HIS COMMITMENT!

Gavin Kirkland: BUT LOOK; BEA IS ALL ALONE! THE CONTRACT IS RIGHT ABOVE HER! COULD WE HAVE OUR MS. CASH IN THE VAULT WINNER?? BEA BEGINS TO SCALE THE LADDER, CRAWLING UP TO THE VERY TOP, LOOKING TO GRAB THE CONTRACT! WE HAVE OUR WINNER! WE HAVE OUR WINNER!

Stew-O: BEA VALENTINE LOCKS HANDS WITH THE HOOK, AND PULLS IT BACK… SHE HAS THE BRIEFCASE!!!!!!!!

(…)

(…)

(…)

Gavin Kirkland: SHINZO SASAKI! FUCK! HE’S GRABBING ONTO BEA’S LEG, AND PULLING HER HER DOWN EVER SO SLIGHTLY! BEA LOSES HER GRIP OF THE BRIEFCASE, FALLING STRAIGHT INTO SHINZO’S HANDS! DRAGON SUPLEX! DRAGON SUPLEX PLANTS BEA VALENTINE IN THE CENTRE OF THE RING!

Stew-O: BEA VALENTINE IS DOWN AND OUT, AND NOW SHINZO GRABS THE LADDER, MOVING IT TO THE CORNER OF THE RING! HE CLEARLY HAS SOMETHING SET UP HERE, LOOKING TO INFLICT SOME PUNISHMENT, MORE THAN LIKELY TO MAKE SURE HE DOESN’T HANG BEHIND AFTER THAT HUGE LADDER BUMP EARLIER!

Gavin Kirkland: SHINZO GRABS ONTO BEA BY HER HAIR, AND PLACES HER UP ONTO HIS SHOULDERS! IN THE FIREMAN’S CARRY POSITION NOW, I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA WHAT HE’S GOT PLANNED! I KNOW THAT ISN’T GOING TO BE GREAT FOR MOMMY VALENTINE, THOUGH!!!

Stew-O: SHINZO SASAKI LOOKS OVER TO THE LADDER AND… OH MY GOD! SHINZO CHARGES FORWARD AT FULL SPEED, BEFORE DRILLING BEA STRAIGHT INTO THE LADDER WITH A RUNNING DEATH VALLEY BOMB! BEA VALENTINE BOUNCES STRAIGHT OFF OF THE LADDER, WITH A NASTY IMPACT!!

Gavin Kirkland: BEA VALENTINE MIGHT BE COMPLETELY OUT OF IT HERE! SHINZO SASAKI RETURNS TO HIS FEET- BUT LOOK! HERE COMES MITSU!

Stew-O: MITSU CONNECTS WITH A DROPKICK TO SHINZO SASAKI, AND BOTH OF THEM REBOUND TO THEIR FEET QUICKLY! MITSU CONNECTS WITH ANOTHER HUGE DROPKICK, BEFORE GRABBING SHINZO BY HIS HAIR! HE PUSHES HIM BACK… A SHORT ARM LARIAT-

Gavin Kirkland: CAUGHT! ‘MADVILLAINY’!!!! THE EXPLODER ‘98 CONNECTS TO MITSU, TAKING HIM OUT COMPLETELY! MITSU ROLLS TO THE OUTSIDE, AND SHINZO RETURNS TO HIS FEET!

Stew-O: BUT LOOK ON THE MIDDLE ROPE! IT’S CANDICE BLAIR! SHE LEAPS DOWN, RIGHT ATOP SHINZO… LANDING THE ‘CANDY DESTROYER’!!!! THE CANADIAN DESTROYER TAKES SHINZO SASAKI STRAIGHT DOWN!!! CANDICE BLAIR COULD DO IT HERE! CANDICE CRAWLS OVER, AND GRABS THE LADDER! CANDICE IS SETTING IT UP HERE!!!

Gavin Kirkland: AND CANDICE BLAIR BEGINS TO SCALE THE LADDER! CANDICE BLAIR MAKES HER WAY UP, LOOKING TO COLLECT THE CASH IN THE VAULT BRIEFCASE, CANDICE BLAIR COULD PICK UP THE BIGGEST VICTORY OF HER ENTIRE CAREER!

Stew-O: CANDICE IS SCALING THE LADDER, GETTING CLOSER AND CLOSER! SHE HAS IT! SHE HAS-

Stew-O: ARIA! ARIA LESTRADE!!! SHE SPRINGBOARDS INTO THE RING… ‘GOD SHATTERING STAR’!!! A SPRINGBOARD BUSAIKU KNEE TAKES CANDICE BLAIR OUT AND SENDS HER CRASHING DOWN FROM HALF WAY UP THE LADDER!!!

Gavin Kirkland: CANDICE HAD PERHAPS HER BEST CHANCE AT COMING OUT THE VICTOR, BUT ARIA CAUGHT HER WITH THAT GOD SHATTERING STAR, AND RIPPED THAT CHANCE STRAIGHT OUT OF HER HANDS! I GENUINELY CANNOT BELIEVE WHAT MY EYES HAVE WITNESSED HERE, WHAT A MANOEUVRE FROM ARIA LESTRADE!

Stew-O: WHAT WAS ONCE CANDICE’S CHANCE, NOW IS ARIA’S AS SHE SLOWLY RECOVERS FROM THAT IMPACT, HOLDING ONTO HER BACK, WITH ONLY ONE DESTINATION IN MIND; UP THE LADDER! THE CASH IN THE VAULT BRIEFCASE IS IN SIGHT, AND SHE’S GOING TO REACH IT!

Gavin Kirkland: ARIA IS CLIMBING UP CLOSER, AND CLOSER, AND CLOSER! THERE’S NOBODY AROUND TO STOP HER! THIS HAS TO BE IT, THERE’S ABSOLUTELY NO WAY THAT IT ISN’T! ARIA REACHES THE TOP, GRABBING ONTO THE BRIEFCASE! SHE THROWS HER LEG OVER THE TOP OF THE LADDER, SITTING AT THE VERY PEAK, AS SHE GRABS ONTO THE CASH IN THE VAULT!

Stew-O: SHE’S DONE IT! ARIA’S ACTUALLY DONE IT!!!!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: DONOVAN DUKE! DONOVAN DUKE PUSHES THE LADDER FROM UNDERNEATH ARIA, SAVING THIS MATCHUP FOR HIMSELF!

Stew-O: AND ARIA IS LEFT DANGLING ON THE BRIEFCASE, SHE DOESN’T FALL WITH THE LADDER, SHE’S CLAWING INTO THE BRIEFCASE TRYING **NOT** TO FALL!!

Gavin Kirkland: BUT SHE DOESN’T HAVE A CHOICE! THERE’S NOTHING LEFT BUT TO GO DOWN! ARIA’S GOING TO FALL!!!

Stew-O:…NO! SHE STARTS TO SWING! SHE’S GOING TO FALL ALRIGHT, BUT SHE LOOKS TO TAKE DONOVAN DUKE OUT…

Stew-O: # WITH A MOONSAULT!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: REMINISCENT OF HER FIRST PAIN FOR PRIDE MOMENT WAY BACK IN 2022, ARIA LESTRADE WITH A MOONSAULT STRAIGHT OFF THE BRIEFCASE!!!

Stew-O: BUT DONOVAN ROLLS THROUGH IT! HE HAS HER CAUGHT, AND STANDS UP WITH HER IN HIS ARMS!

Gavin Kirkland: HERE COMES BEA VALENTINE, RUNNING INTO THE RING- JUST FOR DONOVAN TO SWING ARIA’S FEET STRAIGHT INTO HER HEAD! SHE DROPS TO THE GROUND AS DONOVAN STILL HANGS ONTO ARIA!

Stew-O: DONOVAN THEN LIFTS HER UP ONTO HIS SHOULDERS, INTO THE FIREMAN’S CARRY POSITION… ‘DUKE OF HAZARD’!!!! THE FIREMAN’S CARRY BELLY-TO-BACK PILEDRIVER, DRIVING ARIA DOWN ONTO BEA VALENTINE!!!! GREAT INTUITION BY THE DUKE, TAKING OUT TWO OF HIS COMPETITORS IN ONE!!!

Gavin Kirkland: BUT HERE COMES MITSU! MITSU WITH A RUNNING FOREARM SMASH SENDING DONOVAN INTO THE CORNER!!! MITSU IS GONNA FOLLOW THIS UP WITH SOMETHING HUGE, AS HE RUNS TO THE OPPOSITE SIDE, BOUNCING OFF THE CORNER-

(**CRACK!**)

Gavin Kirkland: OOP-

Stew-O: DONOVAN DUKE JUST LAUNCHES A LADDER STRAIGHT INTO MITSU’S FACE! MITSU STUMBLES BACKWARDS, BEFORE FALLING THROUGH THE BOTTOM ROPE!!!

Gavin Kirkland: MITSU HAS SUFFERED QUITE A LOT THIS MATCH, BUT THIS WAS A GREAT COMEBACK FROM DONOVAN! HOWEVER, SEEMINGLY… HE ISN’T DONE!

Persephone: I LOVE what he has in mind here!

Stew-O: Donovan Duke slides out of the ring, looking under the apron… before pulling out a HUGE ladder! He rests the ladder up against the barricade, up on the apron, and we have ANOTHER ladder bridge situation here! I have absolutely no clue what we’re going to see right here, not at ALL!

Persephone: But I LOVE what we’re about to see! I LOVE IT! Donovan’s doing something good for the first time in his entire life! Good job!

Stew-O: Donovan Duke quickly slides back into the ring, grabbing the ladder that was once used to climb to the briefcase, before moving it closer to where the ladder bridge is on the outside! Donovan has something in mind and I know for a FACT it isn’t going to end well!

Persephone: Oh my god! YES! DONOVAN’S GRABBING ARIA BY THE WRIST, AND DRAGGING HER OUT ONTO THE LADDER BRIDGE! THICK SKIN, LOVE THE PASSION!!!!

Stew-O: DONOVAN LIES ARIA OUT ONTO THE LADDER BRIDGE… OH MY GOD! NO! DONOVAN IS ABOUT TO CLIMB THE LADDER! DONOVAN HAS SOMETHING IN MIN-

Gavin Kirkland: BAE!!!! HERE COMES CANDICE BLAIR!!! SHE GRABS DONOVAN BY THE BOOT… ‘ALMOST THERE’!!! THE DISCUS LARIAT AS SHE PULLS DONOVAN BACK DOWN TO THE MAT!!!

Stew-O: CANDICE TOOK DONOVAN DUKE OUT, AND THIS COULD BE HER CHANCE! THIS COULD BE HER VICTORY!!! CANDICE SEES THE LADDER, AND LOOKS UP AT THE BRIEFCASE! SHE KNOWS THAT THIS COULD BE IT FOR HER!!!

Gavin Kirkland: GO ON! CLIMB IT! CLIMB UP THE LADDER AND GRAB THE BRIEFCASE!!!

Stew-O: AND SHE DOES! SHE REALIGNS THE LADDER SLIGHTLY, BEFORE CLIMBING UP TO THE TOP! RUNG AFTER RUNG AFTER RUNG, SHE MAKES HER WAY UP TO THE TOP, COULD CANDICE BLAIR DO IT??? COULD CANDICE BLAIR WIN THE CASH IN THE VAULT BRIEFCASE, AND PUNCH HER TICKET TO WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP GLORY??? THIS WOULDN’T BE THE FIRST LADDER MATCH SHE’S WON, WINNING A TLC MATCH ALL THE WAY BACK IN 2022!!! COULD SHE REPLICATE THAT VICTORY HERE, ON A MUCH LARGER SCALE???

Gavin Kirkland: CANDICE MAKES IT TO THE TOP! SHE MAKES IT-

Stew-O: IT’S ARIA! SHE CLIMBS UP ALONGSIDE CANDICE, AND PUNCHES HER IN THE GUT!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: COULD ARIA STEAL THIS ONE??? COULD ARIA LESTRADE BECOME MS. CASH IN THE VAULT HERE TONIGHT??? COULD THIS BE HER MOMENT?????? ARIA REACHES FOR IT, ARIA REACHES FOR THE BRIEFCAS-

Stew-O: BUT CANDICE BLAIR GRABS HER BY THE HAIR, AND SLAMS HER INTO THE LADDER! CANDICE CLIMBS UP HIGHER! SHE… NO! NO NO NO NO NO! NOT LIKE THIS! OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: ‘CANDY DESTROYER’ OFF THE LADDER, STRAIGHT THROUGH THE LADDER BRIDGE!!!!!!!!!!!!! CANDICE BLAIR SENDS THE TWO STRAIGHT OFF THE LADDER, TO THE OUTSIDE, THROUGH THE LADDER!!! THAT’S IT!!!! ARIA IS OUT OF IT! ARIA MIGHT JUST BE DEAD!!!! THERE’S NO WAY SHE’S LIVING AFTER THAT FALL ONTO HER HEAD!!!

Stew-O: BUT IS CANDICE GOING TO BE ALIVE AFTER THAT??? SHE TOOK A PRETTY NASTY FALL TOO! THERE’S ABSOLUTELY NO WAY THAT SHE’S GOING TO BE ABLE TO GET BACK UP FROM THAT, RIGHT??? SURELY NOT???? THE TWO OF THEM HAVE TO BE OUT OF IT FOR GOOD! THEY HAVE TO!

Gavin Kirkland: WHAT AN INSANE FALL!! I HOPE MY BAE CANDICE BLAIR IS ALL OKAY, BUT WHAT A MOMENT!!! THAT ONE IS GOING TO BE REPLAYED OVER, AND OVER, AND OVER AGAIN OVER THE YEARS TO COME! MY CANDY HAS A PAIN FOR PRIDE MOMENT ONCE MORE!! UNBELIEVABLE!!

(The crowd continue to flip out as the camera pans to ringside, where Candice Blair and ARIA Lestrade are both laid out in the rubble of the ladder. Candice just barely moving, meanwhile ARIA isn’t moving whatsoever. We cut back to the ring, where Bea Valentine, Donovan Duke, Shinzo Sasaki and MITSU are all moving, somehow, despite the chaos that has just occurred this entire match.)

Stew-O: Perhaps, we may just be down to four! The Oklahoma Storm, Donovan Duke! The Queen Bea, Bea Valentine! The Golden Doyen, MITSU! The Leader of The Underworld, Shinzo Sasaki! Two Dynasty, two Voltage! Two former KAI-ZEN members, now at odds! Two bitter rivals who have been back and forth with one another over the past few weeks! Could THIS be what it comes down to?? They all recover to their feet, looking to square off against one another! This is it! This could be the final stretch of the match!

Gavin Kirkland: AND MITSU RUNS FORWAR-

Stew-O: NO! SHINZO SASAKI TACKLES HIM THROUGH THE ROPES, AND THEY BOTH SPILL TO THE OUTSIDE! SHINZO CLEARLY HAS A TARGET RIGHT NOW, AND IT’S MITSU! HE’S THROWING DOWN RIGHTS ON THE GOLDEN DOYEN RIGHT HERE IN FRONT OF US, ABSOLUTELY NO MERCY, AND NO REGRETS IN THE EYES OF THE LEADER OF THE UNDERWORLD!

Gavin Kirkland: BUT IN THE RING, BEA VALENTINE AND DONOVAN DUKE COME TO BLOWS! THEY START TO HOCKEY FIGHT IN THE CENTER OF THE RING, RIGHT NEXT TO THE LADDER! PUNCH, AFTER PUNCH, AFTER PUNCH! THE TWO AREN’T GIVING UP!

Stew-O: DONOVAN DUKE SHOVES BEA VALENTINE BACK, LOOKING FOR A LARIA-

Gavin Kirkland: NO! BEA GETS HER BOOT UP! DONOVAN STUMBLES BACK INTO THE ROPES… JAWBREAKER LARIAT!!! THE SAME LARIAT HE HIT ON JOSO DURING LAST YEAR’S CASH IN THE VAULT! HE’S REACHING DEEP INTO HIS OFFENCE HERE, AS HE SPINS BEA VALENTINE INSIDE OUT!!!!!

( Replay: https://i.makeagif.com/media/11-28-2015/tet9NQ.gif )

Stew-O: But unlike last year, Donovan is SPENT! He’s exhausted, he CAN’T capitalise this time! Last year, he began to climb up the ladder, he was so close to the briefcase, but Ruler springboarded into the ring and took him out! This year? Donovan just collapses! This match has gone on far too long and Donovan has been through FAR too much, he can’t crawl to the ladder, he can’t climb up to get the briefcase! Donovan is OUT OF IT, much like Bea is!!! Maybe if this was earlier, maybe Donovan could have come out on top! Maybe Donovan could fulfil his #LASTCHANCE like he promised, but the longer this match goes on, I’m sure he starts to see that future slip out of his fingers! He was SO CLOSE!

Gavin Kirkland: BUT LOOK! ON THE OUTSIDE, SHINZO IS BOUNCING MITSU’S HEAD OFF OF THE SPANISH ANNOUNCE TABLE! BLOOD IS POURING FROM MITSU’S EYEBROW HERE, AND SHINZO IS LOOKING TO COMPLETELY END HIM!

Persephone: YESSSSSS! BLOOD! FINALLY!

Gavin Kirkland: SHINZO IS RIPPING APART THE SPANISH ANNOUNCE TABLE HERE, AND CLEARLY HE DOESN’T HAVE GOOD INTENTIONS! HE DOESN’T HAVE ANY GOOD THOUGHTS!!! SHINZO LIFTS MITSU UP ONTO IT, COULD THIS BE THE END OF MITSU HERE TONIGHT???

Stew-O: IT JUST MIGHT BE… BECAUSE HE GRABS MITSU BY THE WAIST… THE POISON PILL’!!!!! THE POISON PILL STRAIGHT THROUGH THE TABLE!!!!!!! MITSUBACHI IS OUT OF IT!!!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: OH MY GOD!!! THE ANNOUNCE TABLE COMPLETELY COLLAPSES, AND THE TWO GO THROUGH IT! MITSUBACHI TAKES ALL THE IMPACT, THOUGH! SHINZO SASAKI SEEMS COMPLETELY FINE, BEGINNING TO CRAWL AWAY FROM THE RUBBLE!!! MITSU IS OUT OF IT, THERES NO WAY THAT HE ISN’T!!!

Stew-O: MEANWHILE, SHINZO STARTS TO CRAWL TOWARDS THE RING, USING THE APRON TO LIFT HIMSELF BACK UP!! HE HAS A PERFECT CHANCE TO CAPITALISE HERE!!! SHINZO SASAKI ROLLS UNDERNEATH THE BOTTOM ROPE, AND MAKES IT TOWARDS THE LADDER!!!

Gavin Kirkland: SHINZO IS PUSHING HIS BODY PAST ITS LIMIT HERE, BUT HE’S DOING SO WITH A CAUSE! HE CAME SO CLOSE TO BECOMING MR. CASH IN THE VAULT AT ROAD TO REDEMPTION, AND PERHAPS THIS IS HIS CHANCE! IN SHINZO’S EYES, HE SHOULD BE FACING JAKE SMITH!! HE SHOULD BE FACING JAKE AT PAIN FOR PRIDE! HE SHOULD BE-

(DING! DING! DING!)

Bella Braxton: HERE IS YOUR WINNER OF THE 2024 CASH IN THE VAULT LADDER MATCH… DONOVAAAAAAAAAAN DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUKEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!

(‘I Rise’ by Cory Marks begins to blare through the stadium speaker system as the entire EAW Universe goes crazy. Donovan slides down onto the ladder that Bea Valentine placed, as she drops down to the ground, and lies in both shock and exhaustion. Donovan steadies himself, before looking down at the briefcase in his hand. A twinkle in his eye, complete shock on his face. He has no idea how to react, frozen in time, as if the world had completely stopped for him. He had no idea what to think. After years of fighting and struggling for an opportunity like the contract that rests in his hand, he finally has it. He fought the same battle he did with the 24/7 contract, and the National Elite Championship, and came out victorious once again. A year after failing in the previous Cash in the Vault Ladder Match, Donovan Duke has finally done it. Mr. Cash in the Vault. #LASTCHANCE)

Stew-O: I CAN’T EVEN HEAR MYSELF THINK RIGHT NOW! THE ENTIRE CROWD IS AS LOUD AS EVER, AND DONOVAN DUKE IS BEGINNING TO EMBRACE THAT! A TWINKLE IN HIS EYE, AS HIS HEAD PANS ACROSS THE WAVES UPON WAVES OF FANS ALL ON THEIR FEET CHEERING FOR HIS VICTORY! DONOVAN DUKE HAS DONE IT!!

Gavin Kirkland: Donovan Duke can BARELY contain himself! He has no idea whether he wants to scream or cry right now, his breaths getting deeper and deeper not because he’s exhausted but because ALL of his emotions are bursting out right now! A man that has constantly been compared to his former Insurgency brothers and held to a standard that he has not yet met, two former World Champions that are so important in his career, fans have just been WAITING for a night like this and doubters have been DENYING him a night like this! Many people believed he could do it, and many people hoped he wouldn’t! Perhaps Bea Valentine is among that list!

Stew-O: Bea Valentine is distraught at the bottom of the ladder right now, but unfortunately for Bea, it isn’t her night! It’s Donovan Duke’s night! This night belongs to him, as he is the new Mr. Cash in the Vault! There’s no denying him now! Season 18, Donovan Duke is THE man to watch! The world is now in the palm of your hands Donovan! Run far and run fast! THIS IS YOUR MOMENT!

(Donovan Duke continues to celebrate atop the ladder as he raises up the Cash in the Vault briefcase high above his head. He lets out one last war cry, as he slowly descends down the ladder. At the bottom, he stumbles over to the ropes, where he raises the briefcase up once again, glaring down the hardcam, with a HUGE grin on his face. He has finally processed his moment. There is no more disbelief in his eyes. It has been replaced with an unshakeable, unwavering confidence, with the knowledge that next season he will be the most dangerous man in the entire company.)

(The broadcast begins to fade to black as we cut to commercial break.)

(We have a commercial for a nearby zoo, where all of the footage consists of GOATS. Congratulations Donovan.)

Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen this match is scheduled for….

Crowd: ONE FALL!

Bella Braxton: And it’s for the EAW SPECIALISTS CHAMPIONSHIP!!!

(21st CENTURY BITCH by Holy Wars plays through the speakers as Mia Santora steps through the curtains confident as ever as she looks through the crowd with large smirk on her face. She walks down the ramp with her blazing eyes and feeling the energy from the Pain for Pride audience.)

Bella Braxton: Introducing the challengers from Key West, Florida and weighing in at 115 POUNDS…. LA DESPERADA!!! MIA!!! SANTORO!!!!

Stew-O: This should be a very interesting contest to say the least! We have a classic on our hands. The triple threat match to determine who will walk out as the Specialists Champion on the grandest stage of em all!

Gavin Kirkland: Mia Santora is looking fresh and you can tell that she wants this moment to be hers. I can’t really predict who can be the winner of this contest because all three ladies have shown why they’re at this point in their careers!

Persephone: Oh boy! Can we just get this over with? I have a flight to catch in the morning!

Stew-O: Why are you so stuck up in your ways?

Persephone: The only thing that’s stuck here is me. And I have to watch another dreadful match between women that no one cares about.

Gavin Kirkland: You sound very excited about this one!

Persephone: Yeah sure, I’m just estastic about using the bathroom on and off about this one.

(I am not a woman, I’m a god by Hasley transitions thorugh the speakers as Usagi Senshi walks out with a brand new custom made robe and a grin on her face while she focuses on Mia Santoro while she paces the ring.)

Bella Braxton: Weighing in at 115 POUNDS!!! FROM FUKUOKA, JAPAN!! SHE IS USAGI SENNNNNNNSSSSHHHHIIIIII!!!

Persephone: Hopefully Usagi can finally win something for once in her life.

Stew-O: Well she has pretty damn good chance tonight! Usagi has been lasered focused on winning her first singles championship. Tonight might be the night.

Gavin Kirkland: Agreed, Stew! My money is all on Usagi as she is the more experience and talented Elitist in this contest.

Persephone: All of that talent and nothing to show for it… who cares… yawn…

(Karate by BABYMETAL hits as the crowd buzzes with a mixed reaction of KASAI approaching the stage with the Specalist Championship around her waist as she walks down the aisle staring at both of her challengers)

Stew-O: This match is highly particIpated because on one hand you got a champion who wants to continue their reign as champion. Then you have someone who wants to finally get their breaking moment. And then there’s a particular person that wants to trademark their own name.

Gavin Kirkland: KASAI has surely made a name for herself early on in her career. I can see a lot of great things going on for her in the futue but she surely has her work cut out for tonight!

Persephone: That Showdown trash can go back where she belongs.

Bella Braxton: And weighing in at 145 POUNDSS!! SHE IS THE HUNTRESS AND EAW SPECALIST CHAMPION!!! KASAAAAAIIIIIIIIIII!!!

(DING!! DING!! DING!!!)

Gavin Kirkland: And we’re underway for Specalist Championship as the three ladies are eyeing each-other down in the ring. KASAI is standing on one opposite corner from both Usagi and Mia as Usagi strikes first at KASAI!

Stew-O: Usagi and Mia duke it out throwing punches left and right as Mia Santora just stands there while watching them go at eachother! KASAI is on the advantage while chopping away on Usagi on the corner ropes.

Persephone: It is until Mia Santora grabs KASAI and throws her onto the mat and starts stomping away on her! Usagi just lays on the mat confused as Mia Santora goes over towards her and offers a hand.

Gavin Kirkland: Usagi grabs Mia Santora’s hand and gets up from the mat as both ladies start to stomp on KASAI! IT’S A TWO ON ONE ATTACK!

Stew-O: It is until Mia Santora catches Usagi off guard and hits Usagi with a dropkick to the back of her head! SO MUCH FOR TEAMWORK!

Persephone: Well that was very short-lived… Now Usagi is holding her head after Mia Santora uses her sneaky tactics to gain the advantage for this match early on. KASAI is still down holding her rib cage from those double team attacks.

Stew-O: Meanwhile Mia Santora is working the crowd as they boo her but Usagi immediately pops up with a disgruntled look upon her face and she tackles Mia down onto the mat!

Gavin Kirkland! Usagi is hammering away onto Mia then she lifts her up and hits a DDT onto the mat and goes for the first cover of the match!

Referee: ONE!

TWOOOO!!

Stew-O: Mia kicks out way before three! And now KASAI is back up and she hits a stepping side kick onto Usagi as she is blindsided by it! Usagi rolls back into the ring corner but KASAI stays on the attack and sprints toward Usagi and she hits a running knee to the face! Usagi falls onto the mat while KASAI looks back over at Mia who is trying to get back onto her feet.

Persephone: KASAI isn’t playing anymore. She took that little double team move personal.

Gavin Kirkland: Indeed. And now KASAI has the full advantage in this match. She grabs Mia by the hair and swings her into the ropes but Mia ducks from a clothesline! And Mia jumps off the ropes while running and hits a backwards elbow smash into the face of KASAI!

Stew-O: KASAI stumbles backwards as she felt a little of that elbow into her jaw! Mia follows up with a snap suplex then goes for a cover on KASAI!

Referee: ONE!!

TWOO!!

Persephone: This match is continuing as KASAI kicks out before three.

Stew-O: Mia Santora is back onto her feet but Usagi is also on her feet too! She clotheslines the hell out of Mia over the ropes. Mia lands onto her back in front of the barricade!! Usagi licks her lips and runs off the ropes and hits a suicide dive from over the top ropes onto Mia!!

Gavin Kirkland: What a shot as she lands perfectly onto Mia! This may very well be Usagi’s moment as she crashes on top of Mia. Now both ladies are down but Usagi is back up as she stares down at Santoro!

Stew-O: But KASAI out of nowhere grabs Usagi by her hair from inside the ring and pops her up on the apron! KASAI is chopping at Usagi while she barely hangs onto those ropes! And then KASAI grabs Usagi by the neck and shoves her throat onto the ropes! Usagi bounces off the ropes and lands onto the floor.

Persephone: What is KASAI about to do now? She is heading up the top turnbuckle.

Gavin Kirkland: KASAI with her tongue sticking out awaits for Usagi and Mia Santora to get back onto their feet from the outside and she jumps off the turnbuckles for a cross bod—

Stew-O: Somehow Usagi and Mia Santora catch KASAI before she could even land! They both are holding KASAI!! Usagi and Mia look at each-other then decide to run KASAI’s back into the ring post! Ouch! KASAI is down on the floor holding her back from that impact from that post! Valid work by Usagi and Mia Santora!

Gavin Kirkland: Usagi immediately with a superkick to Mia in the jaw! She is not letting that mistake happen again with her back turned on Mia! But Mia stays on her feet and Usagi with another kick! Mia ducks that one and goes for a clothesline! Usagi moves out of the way! Mia catches herself on the ring apron but she turns around to a elbow strike to the face!

Stew-O: Usagi then hits a spinning back chop onto Mia Santora! Usagi grabs her then throws Mia back inside the ring! Usagi is looking to finish Mia Santora and claim the Specialist Championship!!– BUT WATCH OUT!!!

Persephone: KASAI IS ON THE TURNBUCKLE AND SHE FINALLY HITS THAT CROSSBODY ONTO USAGI! SHE FALLS ONTO USAGI FOR A COVER AS WELL!

Referee: ONE!!! TWOOO!!!

Stew-O: Usagi kicks out! It’s going to take a lot more to ruin this moment fo Usagi as she has earned this opportunity and to be called a champion!

Persephone: Oh please, Usagi was better off in the Ice Aces.

Gavin Kirkland: KASAI is standing over Usagi but Mia is also back onto her feet! KASAI doesn’t realize Mia is behind her as Mia reaches for KASAI! BUT IMMEDIATELY KASAI ROLLS BEHIND MIA AND GRABS HER ARMS FOR A HAMMERLOCK ONTO THE MAT!

Stew-O: Mia is screaming agony from that hold She can’t even lift herself out of this position!! Mia is trying so hard! She is clawing and burning to get out of this vicious lock!

Gavin Kirkland: KASAI is holding that position tightly until Usagi finally decides to kick her into the face! KASAI stumbles off Mia! AND NOW USAGI WITH KICKS KASAI AS SHE DROPS TO HER KNEES! USAGI FOLLOWS UP OFF THE ROPE—

Stew-O: FATALITY!!! SHE SMACKS HER INTO THE FACE WITH THAT RUNNING KNEE!! KASAI IS OUT!! USAGI QUICKLY GOES FOR THE COVER! IT’S OVER!!

Referee: ONE!! TWOOO!!! THREEEE!!

Persephone: Not done yet! KASAI is able to kick out right before three!

Stew-O: That was a very close call by KASAI! Usagi is holding her head because she knew it was almost over! Somehow this match continues and Usagi doesn’t waste anymore time going after KASAI!

Gavin Kirkland: Usagi is slowly lifting KASAI back to her fee–BUT WAIT A SECOND! KASAI GRABS USAGI INTO A HAMMERLOCK AS WELL!! SHE GRABS USAGI’S ARM BUT USAGI COUNTERS WITH THE ACE-PLEX!!! KASAI GOES CRASHING ONTO THE MAT FROM GERMAN SUPLEX!!!

Persephone: Might as well cover her again.

Stew-O: Usagi knows that won’t be the finishing that needs to win the Specialist Championship. She doesn’t cover but instead goes back over to Mia who has seemingly recovered. Usagi shockingly lends her hand to Mia Santora! I’m not sure what’s going on? Are they teaming up again?

Usagi: Come on.

Gavin Kirkland: Mia hesistantly pokes her hand out there. She knows what happened eariler after she tried to help Usagi! But before she can even get further Usagi knees Mia into the face! Mia falls back to asleep on the mat.

Usagi: Sike.

Stew-O: That’s what she gets for trying to play dirty but Usagi isn’t letting up and she starts kicking and stomping away on Mia while she is on the mat! Then Usagi grabs Mia for a underhook DDT!!!

Gavin Kirkland: She lifts Mia up in the air!!–

Persephone: DEAFENING REALITY!!!! BUT WAIT NOOO!!! MIA COUNTERS AND SLIDES BEHIND USAGI FOR A QUICK ROLL UP!!

Referee: ONE!!! TWOOOO!!!—KICK OUT BY USAGI!

Gavin Kirkland: Very crafty by Mia Santora! She is proving why she deserved to be in this type of match. But now Usagi is back on her feet along with Mia but this time Mia Santora grabs Usagi!! She turns behind Usagi for Gutwrench backstabber!!! SAFE PASSAGE CONNECTS!!! AND USAGI IS HURT!!!

Stew-O: Mia Santora goes for the cover on

Usagi! This is it! It’s over!!

Referee: ONEEEEE!!!!

TWOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: IT’S OVER!!

Persephone: NO KASAI WITH THE SAVE!!! SHE KICKS MIA OFF USAGI!!!

Stew-O: AND NOW KASAI WITH ANOTHER HAMMERLOCK ONTO MIA WHILE SHE IS ON THE GROUND!!!

Gavin Kirkland: It’s not looking very good for Mia Santora! She is in that hammerlock again! SHE IS ABOUT TO TAP!! KASAI RETAINS!!

Stew-O: WAIT A MINUTE! USAGI GOES FOR ANOTHER SUPERKICK ONTO KASAI!!!

Persephone: BUT KASAI WAS ANTICIPATING THAT! SHE CATCHES USAGI’S LEG!

Gavin Kirkland: KASAI hits a leg sweep!! Usagi holds onto her leg but slowly rises up an—

Stew-O: THERE’S URAI’S CURSE!! URAI’S CURSE CONNECTS!!!! SHE DROPS USAGI!! THIS IS OVERRRRR!! SHE GOES FOR THE COVER!

Referee: ONEEEE!!!!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE—

Persephone: Did Usagi just kick out of that or I’m just blind?

Stew-O: No you saw it right! Usagi was able to kick out before three and this crowd is going insane! Usagi kicks out of that damaging finish by KASAI! But that doesn’t stop KASAI as she quickly prompts up! SHE GOES FOR THE HUNTRESS STINGER!!! BUT THIS TIME MIA SANTORO COMES OUT OF NOWHERE AND HITS A ROLLING WHEEL KICK! KILLING MOON CONNECTS!!

Gavin Kirkland: That move hurt our Specialist Championship as she stumbled onto the ropes! BUT KASAI GRABS MIA FOR ANOTHER HAMM—-

Stew-O: NOT THIS TIME! THE DEVIL’S LUCK! SHE HAS THAT ARMBAR LOCKED IN ON OUR SPECIALIST CHAMPION!! THIS IS ABOUT TO BE OVER WITH!! IT’S OVER!!!

Gavin Kirkland: NOT YET! KASAI IS STRUGGLING TO POWER OUT BUT SHE ISN’T GIVING UP JUST YET! KASAI IS SHOWING THE HEART OF A CHAMPION! SHE WON’T GIVE OUT!

Persephone: Oh my Gawd, forget the heart of a champion, she SHOULD just give up and get the match over with already!

Stew-O: Regardless of whether you want the match to end or not, Kasai is flailing her legs with all her might for any hope of respite while Mia Santoro wrenches away at her arm with all the intensity she can muster!

Gavin Kirkland: Kasai’s legs are almost within reach of the ropes, and she’s kicking as much as she can to get there!

Stew-O: She’s almost there… almost there… AND MIA SEES IT TOO, SHE JUST TRANSITIONED OUT OF THE CRUCIFIX ARMBAR AND INTO A CRUCIFIX PIN!

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Persephone: OH COME ON, KASAI KICKED OUT! YOU’VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME, CAN’T SHE JUST GIVE IT UP ALREADY?!

Gavin Kirkland: Mia Santoro is looking pissed off that Kasai was able to foil her finishing submission and even the impromptu pin, but she getting angry isn’t going to get her that title!

Stew-O: Kasai has that arm clutched in pain as she struggles to get up, and Usagi has rolled over to the corner as she tries to recuperate from Kasai’s Huntress Stinger!

Gavin Kirkland: It seems that Mia Santoro is in control of the match right now as she doesn’t allow Kasai to get up of her own accord, instead dragging the Specialists Champion to her feet by the hair!

Stew-O: I think she’s realizing that it may have been too early to try and put Kasai down, because now she’s resorting to just wearing the champion out with a flurry of strikes!

Gavin Kirkland: Jabs, hooks, kicks, just all of the frustration that Mia Santoro has pent up over the course of the season is being unleashed on the champion, who is getting pushed back by this furious onslaught!

Persephone: Gawd willing, one of those blows will just straight up knock Kasai out and put an end to the match early on!

Stew-O: Kasai gets pushed back to the corner, where Mia forcefully turns Kasai at an angle and grabs a hold of her leg before hoisting her up!

Gavin Kirkland: SAITO SUPLEX RIGHT OUT OF THE CORNER! Kasai goes down with a deafening thud, but Mia walks back over to her with a rather menacing expression on her face; she isn’t done yet!

Stew-O: She grabs Kasai by the hair once again, pulling her to her feet before tucking the champ’s head underneath her arm – she hoists her up, looking for a snap suplex!

Gavin Kirkland: BUT KASAI STALLS IT, SANDBAGGING THE MANEUVER! Mia keeps trying to wrench her up, but Kasai hooks her leg around Mia’s own, preventing her from being lifted!

Stew-O: BACK ELBOW FROM KASAI! AND ANOTHER! AND YET ANOTHER! Mia is looking positively rocked right now, and that opens up an opportunity for Kasai to lift her up herself! WHAT’S SHE GOING FOR HERE?!

Gavin Kirkland: ELEVATED DDT BY THE CHAMP, AND MIA SANTORO’S HEAD GETS DRIVEN INTO THE CANVAS!

Persephone: Did she get concussed?! Please tell me she got concussed :adpeek:

Stew-O: Well, she’s still stirring, so I can’t say your wish came true; Kasai starts measuring up her challenger, looking to end her aspirations and continue her reign!

Gavin Kirkland: OH! KASAI GETS TAKEN OUT, WHAT JUST HAPPENED?!

Stew-O: IT’S USAGI SENSHI! Mia Santoro and Kasai got so preoccupied trying to put the other down, Usagi had a chance to recuperate in peace from the Huntress Stinger, and she just took the champion out with a running dropkick to the back of the head!

Gavin Kirkland: The champ is down and Usagi eyes the arm that Mia Santoro targeted with her finishing crucifix armbar earlier; I think she’s getting an idea!

Stew-O: She stomps on Kasai’s back as she tries to get back up and grabs that hurt arm!

Gavin Kirkland: FUJIAWARA ARMBAR! SHE LOCKS IT IN, SEATED ON THE BACK OF KASAI AS SHE LOOKS TO PULL THAT ARM OUT OF ITS SOCKET!

Stew-O: The poor champion, both of her challengers have been targeting that same arm, and it’s starting to feel like a matter of time before it becomes too much – but who will be able to take advantage between Mia and Usagi?

Gavin Kirkland: That’s IF Kasai taps out, and I’m not sure if she has the quit in her to do that!

Persephone: If she doesn’t tap out, Usagi should just put her all into it and BREAK that arm! That’d get Kasai off my screen for months, right? GOOOO USAGIIIII!

Stew-O: You’re abhorrent, Persephone. Usagi keeps on wrenching i- OH MY GOD!

Gavin Kirkland: MIA SANTORO GOT UP AND JUST STOMPED THE BACK OF USAGI’S HEAD DIRECTLY INTO THE MAT!

Stew-O: She turns to Kasai, but the champion with that ring IQ immediately rolls away as quickly as she can, falling out of the ring from beneath the bottom rope before Mia can get her hands on her!

Gavin Kirkland: Mia gives a frustrated sigh before glaring down at Usagi; her fellow challenger clutches the back of her head as she tries getting up-

Stew-O: BUT NOW MIA IS STOMPING THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS OUT OF HER!

Gavin Kirkland: It’s a rough scene to say the least – easy with the stomps to the face, Usagi, Mia is gorgeous and you’re trying to ruin it!

Stew-O: Is THAT what’s on your mind?! Regardless, Mia drags Usagi up to a standing position, albeit with Usagi likely out on her feet, before La Desperada applies a front facelock and grabs one of her legs – is she going for it?!

Gavin Kirkland: EXPLODER SUPLEX, AND USAGI GETS PLANTED VIOLENTLY TO THE MAT! Mia Santoro springs back to her feet and looks down at the fallen Usagi as she formulates a game plan to get the prestigious Specialists Champion all for herself!

Persephone: God, can Usagi Senshi do ANYTHING right??? She legitimately just can’t wrestle.

Stew-O: Mia Santoro has the upper hand and now it looks like she plans to make the most of it as she begins heading up to the top rope! MIA KNOWS THAT THIS IS HER OPPORTUNITY TO BECOME THE SPECIALISTS CHAMPION, AND SHE DOESN’T WANT TO LET THAT GO TO WASTE! MIA HAS MADE IT UP TOP AND USAGI IS DOWN, IS THIS IT!?

Gavin Kirkland: CHASE THE FEELING!!!!!!

Stew-O: NO!!! KASAI PULLED HERSELF ONTO THE APRON AND GRABBED ONTO MIA SANTORO’S LEG, STOPPING HER FROM GOING FOR THE DIVING DROPKICK! MIA IS ABLE TO KICK KASAI OFF OF THE APRON, BUT NOW SHE HAS HER SIGHTS SET ON THE SPECIALISTS CHAMPION!

Gavin Kirkland: MIA REPOSITIONS HERSELF ON THE TOP ROPE, BEFORE DELIVERING A DIVING CROSSBODY!!!! HUGE DIVING CROSSBODY BY MIA, AND NOW MIA SANTORO IS REALLY ON FIRE HERE!!!! MIA NOW HEADING BACK UP TOP-

Persephone: BUT SHE WAS ENTIRELY TOO SLOW, WHICH IS WHY USAGI SENSHI JUST STOPPED HER IN HER TRACKS! God, where’s Luis when you need him? This match sucks!

Stew-O: Usagi Senshi with a huge right hand to stop Mia on the top rope, AND NOW USAGI CONNECTS WITH A SECOND ONE! A THIRD NOW! USAGI NOW CLIMBING UP TO THE TOP ROPE, AND I THINK SHE HAS SOMETHING BIG IN MIND HERE! SHE’S PULLING MIA INTO POSITION, AND IT LOOKS LIKE SHE MAY BE TRYING FOR A SUPERPLEX!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: TRYING, BUT MIA ISN’T GOING DOWN THAT EASILY!!! MIA IS THROWING PUNCHES TO THE RIBS, LOOKING TO STOP USAGI BEFORE SHE COULD DELIVER THE SUPERPLEX!!! MIA SANTORO IS DESPERATELY TRYING TO FIGHT OUT OF THIS!!! IS SHE GONNA DO IT!? THIS COULD BE REALLY BAD FOR MIA THIS LATE INTO THE MATCH!

Stew-O: YOU’RE RIGHT, AND THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT USAGI WANTS!!! USAGI LANDS A HEADBUTT, AND USAGI NOW LIFTS MIA OFF OF THE TOP ROPE, CONNECTING WITH THE SUPERPLEX!!!! HUGE SUPERPLEX BY USAGI SENSHI, AND NOW SHE LOOKS TO FOLLOW IT UP! USAGI JUST ROLLED BACK TO HER FEET WHILE HOLDING ONTO MIA, AND-

Gavin Kirkland: NO!!!!! JUST AS USAGI WS ROLLING BACK UP TO FINISH HER COMBINATION, KASAI SLID INTO THE RING, RUNNING IN TO HIT USAGI WITH THE KNEE TREMBLER!!!!! CTE CONNECTS ON USAGI SENSHI, AND KASAI GOES FOR THE COVER KNOWING THAT BOTH OF HER OPPONENTS ARE DOWN!!!!!!

OOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!

TTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

TTTTTTHHHRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

Persephone: WHY???? HOW DID USAGI SENSHI GET THE SHOULDER UP??? THIS IS NOT WHAT I ASKED FOR!

Stew-O: USAGI SENSHI IS STILL IN THIS MATCH, AND KASAI CAN’T BELIEVE IT! KASAI now getting on top of Usagi, and she just begins to punch away at her! She knows Usagi can’t have much left after that, and it looks like she plans to just tear away at Usagi with everything she has left! KASAI has a huge challenge on her hands knowing that she can lose this match without even being pinned, but she’s doing everything in her power to prevent that from being the case!

Gavin Kirkland: KASAI pulls Usagi Senshi back to her feet, AND SHE HITS USAGI WITH AN UPPERCUT! A SECOND ONE! A THIRD! KASAI THROWING WHATEVER SHOTS SHE CAN AT USAGI, AND THIS LATE INTO THE MATCH, AFTER TAKING THAT KNEE TO THE HEAD, I DON’T THINK USAGI HAS ANYTHING LEFT! KASAI LOOKS TO POTENTIALLY FINISH THIS MATCH OFF–

Stew-O: BUT THERE’S MIA SANTORO, SWIFTLY DELIVERING A BICYCLE KICK THAT CAUSES KASAI TO STUMBLE, NEARLY LOSING HER BALANCE THANKS TO THE DAMAGE SHE’S TAKEN! How is Mia still in this after that superplex???

Persephone: I don’t know and I don’t really care. Maybe Usagi somehow messed it up.

Gavin Kirkland: Now it’s Mia’s turn to begin unloading everything she has left! SHE HITS KASAI WITH FOREARM AFTER FOREARM, AND I THINK KASAI IS STILL ROCKED AFTER GETTING HIT WITH THAT BICYCLE KICK! KASAI ISN’T FIGHTING BACK AT ALL, AND MIA ISN’T GIVING HER THE OPPORTUNITY TO! SHE CONTINUES THROWING FOREARM AFTER FOREARM, AS THE SPECIALISTS CHAMPION DROPS TO A KNEE!!! MIA NOW LOOKING FOR A-

Stew-O: NOTHING!! SHE DOESN’T HIT ANYTHING, AS THIS TIME IT’S USAGI SENSHI’S TURN TO HIT A HUGE MOVE!! USAGI WITH A JUMPING ENZUIGIRI ON MIA SANTORO, AND MIA IS ON SPAGHETTI LEGS!!!

Gavin Kirkland: USAGI SENSHI GRABS MIA SANTORO AND SENDS HER INTO THE CORNER OF THE RING, BEFORE RUNNING IN AND DELIVERING A RUNNING EUROPEAN UPPERCUT!!!! HUGE MOVE BY USAGI- BUT KASAI RUNS IN BEFORE HITTING USAGI WITH A RUNNING ELBOW SMASH!!!! KASAI NOW RUNNING TO THE OPPOSITE CORNER OF THE RING BEFORE CHARGING IN-

Stew-O: BUT USAGI CATCHES HER WITH A BACK ELBOW!!! KASAI STUMBLES BACK AS USAGI PREPARES TO ATTACK, BUT NOW LOOK!!! MIA SANTORO STILL HAS LIFE LEFT IN HER, AND SHE SHOVES USAGI AWAY BEFORE HITTING KASAI WITH A SUPERKICK!

Gavin Kirkland: HOW ARE THESE THREE STILL STANDING??? USAGI SENSHI TAKES ADVANTAGE AS SHE GRABS MIA AND DELIVERS A KNEE TO THE MIDSECTION, BUT MIA RESPONDS WITH A HUGE ELBOW TO THE JAW!!! KASAI NOW HITTING MIA WITH A BIG BOOT, BUT MIA IS STILL NOT WILLING TO GO DOWN, KNOWING THAT THE SPECIALISTS CHAMPIONSHIP IS ON THE LINE!!!!

Stew-O: WAIT A MINUTE!!! USAGI JUST TRIED TO CATCH KASAI OFF GUARD WITH FATALITY, BUT KASAI ANTICIPATED IT AND GOT OUT OF THE WAY!!! KASAI AVOIDS THE BICYCLE KNEE, AND NOW SHE LOOKS FOR A SPINNING BACK FIST ON USAGI SENSHI!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: USAGI DUCKS UNDER THAT THOUGH, AND NOW THERE’S A HUGE RIGHT HAND BY MIA SANTORO, SENDING KASAI STUMBLING BACKWARDS!!!!

Stew-O: KASAI BOUNCES OFF OF THE ROPES THOUGH- AND LOOK AT THAT!!!!! KASAI WAS LOOKING FOR A DOUBLE CLOTHESLINE, BUT USAGI SENSHI AND MIA SANTORO BOTH HAD THE SAME RESPONSE TO IT, CAUSING THE THREE WOMEN TO TAKE EACH OTHER OUT!!!!! ALL THREE WOMEN ARE DOWN ON THE MAT RIGHT NOW AS THIS MATCH CONTINUES!!!!

Persephone: This has to be some kind of joke.

Gavin Kirkland: Nope, no joke! These three just won’t quit so easily, and we’ve been seeing that throughout this match!

Stew-O: All three competitors are still down and I don’t know how much more they have left in their tanks, but unless all three of them die, there must be a winner.

Persephone: Oh that can be arranged. Remember, I am about to marry into La Familia and they can get stuff done.

Gavin Kirkland: You’re such a weirdo. Right now the referee is still checking on the three combatants to see if they continue… LOOK! ONE THEM IS STARTING TO STIR! SHE’S ROLLING TO THE ROPES TO GET BACK TO HER FEET!

Stew-O: IT’S THE CHAMPION! KASAI IS THE FIRST ON HER FEET AND NOW SHE STARTS TO SEE THAT MIA SANTORO IS STARTING TO STIR AS WELL!

Gavin Kirkland: The Champ has something in mind as she goes to Usagi and drags her closer to the corner.

Persephone: For the love of gawd, just finish her and finish the match! Gotta make a big statement as KASAI decides to drive me crazy and climb up to the top rope to hopefully finish this match–

Stew-O: KASAI IS ON THE TOP ROPE, BUT WITH PERHAPS HER LAST BIT OF ENERGY, MIA SANTORO HAS CLOBBERED KASAI TO STOP HER ASCENT!

Persephone: I hope they all just pass out and lose. Mia is trying to rip KASAI off the turnbuckle, but KASAI is holding on tight.

Gavin Kirkland: KASAI IS TRYING TO KEEP HER BALANCE ON THE TOP ROPE AS SHE IS ABLE TO MANEUVER MIA ENOUGH SO SHE CAN BE ABLE TO FIRE A MODIFIED SAVATE KICK TO THE FACE!

Stew-O: MIA GOES OVER THE TOP ROPE AND SHE HITS THE FLOOR AS SHE IS ABLE TO CUSHION HER BLOW A LITTLE BY GRABBING THE RING APRON! RIGHT NOW, THIS TITLE MATCH IS ALL KASAI!

Gavin Kirkland: IT’S ALL OR NOTHING FOR KASAI AS SHE IS THE ONLY ONE STANDING! MIA IS DOWN! USAGI IS DOWN! KASAI GOES FOR IT ALL AS SHE JUMPS OFF THE TOP TURNBUCKLE–

Stew-O: “KITSUNE’S BLESSING”! KASAI GOT THE MOONSAULT LEG DROP RIGHT ACROSS USAGI’S THROAT! USAGI STILL ISN’T MOVING! BUT MIA IS ON THE OUTSIDE TRYING TO GET BACK TO HER! KASAI SEES MIA AND SHE HOOKS THE LEG FOR THE COVER!

ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!

TWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!

Persephone: Oh great. Mia is back to her feet and is launching herself to the ring. Better hurry, stupid.

THHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEE!

Stew-O: MIA’S LEGS GAVE OUT FROM UNDER HER! MIA FALLS BACK AND CRASHES BACK TO THE FLOOR AS KASAI STILL HAS THE COVER AND BREATHES A SIGH OF RELIEF!!

(DING! DING! DING!)

(“KARATE” by BABYMETAL starts playing again as KASAI slowly rolls off of Usagi and stays down on the mat to catch her breath as Bella Braxton begins to announce the final decision of the match.)

Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of this contest….

Bella Braxton: AND STILLLLLLLLLLL THE ELITE ANSWERS WRESTLING SPECIALISTS CHAMPION! KASAI!

Stew-O: I think it is safe to say that these three competitors gave it their all in this match, all for the honor of leaving Pain for Pride as the Specialists Champion!

Gavin Kirkland: WOOOOOOO! SHOWDOWN WINS!!

Persephone: Why the hell does that matter now, you idiot? Damn, you are so stupid.

(KASAI has slowly made it back to her feet as the referee has grabbed the Specialists Championship from Bella Braxton. The referee hands the title to KASAI and raises her arm in victory as the crowd cheers. KASAI hold tightly onto her title as the referee goes back to check on Usagi. KASAI lets out another sigh of relief before she slowly exits the ring and starts up the entrance ramp.)

Stew-O: You can say whatever you want about all three competitors in this match. Whether you like them or you don’t–

Persephone: And I don’t like any of them… AT ALL!

Gavin Kirkland: OH SHUT UP! What Stew was trying to say before you rudely interrupted him is like them or hate them, they all put it on the line at the biggest event of the season. Mia and Usagi might not be leaving as a Champion, but they showed that they can hang with the Champions.

Persephone: Let me guess. Because it wasn’t their time this match doesn’t mean it won’t happen. Two future stars blah blah blah and all that other crap.

Gavin Kirkland: I meant it less bitchy, but pretty much.

Stew-O: All three competitors put up an amazing effort to leave with the gold tonight, but it is the Champion who survives as KASAI successfully retains her Specialists Championship at Pain for Pride! Congratulations once again to KASAI on the hard fought victory!

(The final shot shows KASAI standing at the top of the entrance ramp holding her Specialists Championship high in the air before cutting to Usagi Senshi still being checked on by the referee before cutting to Mia, who has a look of frustration and devastation on her face realizing she was close, but not close enough as the shot fades elsewhere.)

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

Bella Braxton: THE FOLLOWING TRIPLE THREAT TAG TEAM CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!

Crowd: ONE FALL!

Bella Braxton: AND IT IS FOR… THE EAW UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS!!!

(‘Zombie’ by the Cranberries plays as heavily mixed reactions can be heard from the audience. Ruler & Alex Myers make their way out as there is a stoic, yet calculated gaze in both teammates as they look ahead to the audience before them on Pain for Pride Kingdom. Both elitists sport matching attires on this night, looking toward one another as they take deep breaths respectively. The two former Unified Tag Team Champions take in this atmosphere of the immeasurably grand stadium, as they then set their sights forward toward the ring. Their faces display heightened awareness of the opportunity, & they maintain their focus as they can for the title match tonight before walking down the ramp with the crowd reacting all the louder.)

Bella Braxton: Introducing first! Weighing in at a combined weight of 400 pounds… THE TEAM OF ALEX MYERS AND RULER, NICHOLISMMMMM!!!

Persephone: Okay, you two are gonna speak of ‘em and I want no part of that. Turning the volume down on my headset ‘till the ladies are out.

Stew-O: :francis: This match surely means the world to NICHOLISM, as the inseparable duo they have been, whether it be as opposing sides, or united as a front. Former New Breed Champions respectively, former Unified Tag Team Champions as well, the latter reign would be cut short by the current champions that they are looking to defeat tonight. Although, the circumstances are very different from their previous two outings with the Jaded Hearts, as there’s another threat in this match that makes a most dangerous addition to form this triple threat tag team match.

Gavin Kirkland: NICHOLISM haven’t had the smoothest time since forming, this much is very well known. They had their ups & downs, an incredibly high in capturing the titles only to lose them back to the Jaded Hearts without any interference getting in the way of the result. Tonight, this is their opportunity to get the job done and reclaim what they lost! Gotta make good on it while they can!

(As ‘Zombie’ simmers down throughout the stadium, a handful of individuals, known as the red coats, proceed to emerge from the back as they proceed to line up in unison. They remain side by side at the main stage of Pain for Pride Kingdom, as they set their bayonets upward & over their shoulders at the exact same time. A brief rumbling sound can then be heard as there are two red coats moving a cannon up onto a platform.)

Gavin Kirkland: Uh, they’re not certainly not gonna—

(# BOOM!)

Gavin Kirkland: JESUS CHRIST!

(The cannonball is fired into the sky, followed by a war torn flag with english insignia draping itself over the stage accordingly, with the red coats remaining where they are. ‘Refuse / Resist’ by Sepultura can be heard as the audience reacts loudly for the arrival of British Invasion, in the form of Halsey Neel & Pandora Paisley sporting twisted smirks on their faces. Their attire is closely aligned with one another, with Union Jack design across their gear while also sporting unique masks over their faces that stop at their noses. Confidence can be felt among both women as they glance toward one another, retaining their grins before beginning to walk down the ramp.)

Bella Braxton: Introducing their opponents! Weighing in at a combined weight of 20 stones… THE TEAM OF PANDORA PAISLEY & HALSEY NEEL, THE BRITISHHHHH INVASION!!!

Persephone: Surely that cannon may have just killed somebody, right? They know it’s not gonna launch into orbit, right???

Stew-O: Quite the entrance from the British Invasion tonight, as they will surely be looking to make their country proud. This is their opportunity to finally capture their first championship gold in their careers as an elitist, and there’s no better way of succeeding in doing that than Pain for Pride. This will be the greatest test of their careers, as they will be entering the fray having to withstand two teams that know what it’s like to be tag team champions.

Gavin Kirkland: Although, the Jaded Hearts surely trump either team in that regard. Despite this, the British Invasion are making sure that this opportunity tonight is all the more worth it. This has become quite the embroiled rivalry among these three teams who have dominated the tag team division with their presences as a whole. Halsey & Pandora are presented with a career defining moment within their reach! All the while, these GORGEOUS ladies—

Persephone: If you even think about doing this dumb shit for the match, I will strangle you. That battle royale yesterday pissed me off enough.

(As ‘Refuse / Resist’ fades out in the speakers, every single light in the stadium begins to go pitch black. Then the primary titantron displays itself as the only light source, as the iconic tin whistle melody can be heard from ‘My Heart Will Go On’ by Celine Dion, with the backdrop of the Titanic itself being seen from a distance as the audience reacts very loudly with the video rolling on the titantron.)

Persephone: Oh my god, my favorite tragedy all over again. Is this how Pain for Pride ends? 😍

Gavin Kirkland: Well uh, I surely wasn’t expecting to watch this video all over again, but I’ll take some Celine Dion! Quite the lovely & beautiful woman in her prime, indeed!

Stew-O: Well, I suppose this is an altered version of the original music video, considering the music is largely absent. I do remember this opening however, as we now see the older Rose speaking of the titanic.

(*”It’s been 84 years… and I can still smell the fresh paint. The china had never been used, the sheets had never been slept in, Titanic was called… the ship of dreams. And it was…”*)

Gavin Kirkland: Well if we’re not gonna hear Celine Dion then what should we expect—

(As the video continues to play, Kassidy Heart can be seen sitting on the third class deck, in similar clothing as Jack. As she’s looking upward, a familiar face can be seen walking up into view from the first class deck: Sienna Jade, in similar fashionable attire to Rose, after just leaving Cafe Parisienne for lunch. Kassidy continued to gaze up at Sienna, who was merely there to gaze toward the view she had.)

Persephone: :roman:

Gavin Kirkland: :roman:

Stew-O: The Jaded Hearts… certainly have the luxurious finances and whatnot to pull something of this magnitude off, I’m certain.

(The video then cuts to a different scene, with Sienna standing over the railing of the Titanic, ready to jump—with Kassidy right beside her, carefully standing behind her closely as they proceeded.)

Kassidy Heart: (in-scene) Like I said, I don’t have a choice.

(Kassidy removes her coat, setting the coat aside with a calm demeanor as Sienna would glance back toward her with uncertainty.)

Kassidy Heart: (in-scene) I guess I’m kinda hoping you’ll come over the rail, and get me off the hook here…

(Sienna shook her head as she looked back over to the waters.)

Sienna Jade: (in-scene) You’re crazy!

Kassidy Heart: (in-scene) That’s what everybody says but, with all due respect miss… *I’m not the one hanging off the back of the ship here.* C’mon…

(Sienna’s eyes are shut, fading away from her, but Kassidy slowly extends her hand outward for her as she remains calm.)

Kassidy Heart: (in-scene) C’mon, give me your hand… you don’t want to do this…

(As the scene zooms in on Kassidy’s hand… Sienna with an uncertain sigh, takes Kassidy’s hand, holding onto her hand tightly as she slowly turns around to Kassidy, who lets off a “whew” with a small grin while looking at her.)

Persephone: I’ve never seen better acting, give them their Golden Globes NOW!

Gavin Kirkland: If I am being quite honest, these ladies make these scenes infinitely better!!

(The scene cuts to Kassidy showing Sienna her drawings, as Kassidy proceeds to give context to a drawing for her with a very light grin.)

Kassidy Heart: (in-scene) She used to sit in this bar, every night, every piece of jewelry she owned just.. waiting for her long lost love. Called her ‘Madame Bejoux’. See, her clothes are all moth eaten…

(Sienna glanced to Kassidy, with great interest in her eyes as Kassidy kept her eyes toward her as well. Sienna briefly exhales as she looks back down to the drawing.)

Sienna Jade: (in-scene) Well… you have a gift, Kass’. You do… You see people.

(Kassidy kept her eyes on Sienna.)

Kassidy Heart: (in-scene) I see you…

(Sienna takes her eyes back on Kassidy, with a grin forming over her face as she sits upright.)

Sienna Jade: (in-scene) *And?*

Kassidy Heart: (in-scene) You wouldn’t have jumped…?

(Sienna’s grin would revert to an uncertain expression, keeping her eyes on Kassidy as the scene cuts away.)

Persephone: GOLDEN GLOBES ISN’T GOOD ENOUGH! THE ACADEMY BETTER BE WATCHING!!

(Another scene is presented, with Kassidy & Sienna gazing upon the ‘Heart of the Ocean’ necklace as Kassidy holds it. She tilts her head gently, as looking upon this necklace instills visible emotion within her that couldn’t be hidden.)

Stew-O: The necklace… Kassidy received this very same necklace from her ‘secret admirer’ on Valentine’s Day in 2019. Which would be the acclaimed Hall of Famer & Chairman we know as Methuselah. The significance cannot be undermined in any manner here.

Persephone: OHMYGODTHISONEWNSJSNJWJNSJSJSN!

(The scene soon switches to Kassidy holding Sienna’s waist from behind, as they are standing over the bow of the Titanic. Sienna’s eyes are closed, as Kassidy perches her head just over Sienna’s shoulder to speak into her ear.)

Kassidy Heart: (in-scene) *Now open your eyes…*

(With Sienna’s arms extended outward, she opens her eyes… as the wonder can be seen on her face while gazing upon the vast ocean they are traveling along.)

Sienna Jade: (in-scene) *I’m flying… Kass!*

(Sienna’s smiling from ear to ear as Kassidy grins as well, the two continue to remain where they’re situated in the scene, with the titantron going completely dark, as the stadium is pitch black. The beginning melody can be heard as ‘My Heart Will Go On’ can be heard throughout the speakers once more.)

Stew-O: Oh, the music has returned…?

(‘Till a platform can be seen near the main stage, with a special hologram in place on top of the platform.)

Persephone: HOLY SHIT.

Gavin Kirkland: A HOLOGRAM OF CELINE DION!

(🎶 *”Every night in my dreams… I see you… I feel you… Thaaat is how I know you… go onnnn…. Far across the distance…. and spaces….. betweeeen us… You have come to show you, go ooooon…”* 🎶)

(Waves can be heard crashing along the waters in the background of the song being sung, as well as the seagulls as the hologram of Celine Dion proceeds with the chorus.)

(🎶 *”NEAR…. FAR…. WHEREEEEEEVER YOU AREEE… I BELIEVEEE, THAT… THE HEART DOES, GO OOOOON…*” 🎶)

Persephone: :mjcry:

(🎶 *”ONCE, MORE…. YOU OPENNNN THE DOOR… AND YOU’RE HERE IN MY HEART, AND… MY HEART WILL GO ON…. AND… OOOOOON…”* 🎶)

Gavin Kirkland: …do the rest of you hear a bit of rumbling????

Stew-O: Is that… oh my god…

(**A one to one replica of the Titanic** can be seen venturing from a large opening of the stage, as the emphatically large ship is rolling outward to the immense reaction of the audience. On the bow of the Titanic, Sienna Jade’s arms are outward still, with Kassidy Heart holding out Sienna’s arms as the EAW Unified Tag Team Championships are wrapped around their respective waists. The crowd is left utterly awestruck as the song continues to play out accordingly, Celine adamantly singing her heart out.)

Bella Braxton: AND THEIR OPPONENTS! THEY ARE…. THE EAW UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS…. KASSIDY HEART & SIENNA JADE… THE JADEDDDD HEARTS!!!

Persephone: NOTHING ELSE MATTERS RIGHT NOW. THIS IS ALL THERE IS TO IT. I’M GONNA RELISH IN THIS MOMENT FOR AS MUCH AS I CAN!

Gavin Kirkland: HOW MUCH DID THIS COST??? Certainly the budget for HALF of this night has all gone into this becoming reality!! Not that I’m complaining, look at those ladies up there!!! We’re being bestowed by the greatness of their beauty right before us, and what a way to do it!!!

Stew-O: This is either the most incredible moment that you witness as an onlooker, or a foretelling of the extravaganza behind their presentation that coincides with how extravagantly dangerous their efforts between the ropes can be for their challengers tonight—

Persephone: SHUT UP! THE BRIDGE OF THE SONG IS DONE! LET ME HAVE THIS MOMENT!

(🎶 *”YOU’REEEEEEEE HEREEEEEEEEEEEEE…”* 🎶)

Kassidy Heart: (off-mic) I’M THE KING OF THE WORLDDDDDDD!!!!!!

(🎶 THERE’S ***NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTHING I FEARRRRR, AND I KNOWWWW, THAT MY HEART WILL GO ONNNNNNN*** 🎶)

Persephone: :mjcry: :mjcry: :mjcry:

(🎶 ***WEEEEEEE’LL STAY… FOREEEEEEEEEEEEEVER THIS WAY, YOU ARE SAAAFE IN MY HEART, AND…. MY HEART WILL GO ON…. ANDDDDD OOOOOOOON….*** 🎶)

(As the ship is able to take the champions all the way to the ring, Kassidy hops off the bow & onto the ring. She extends her hand upward for Sienna, with Sienna grinning as she takes her hand and is aided in hopping off the bow as well. They both remove the titles from their waists, as they hoist them high for the entire stadium to see as they grin to each other shortly before looking upward toward their own championships.)

Sienna Jade: (off-mic) *We will never let you go.*

Kassidy Heart: (off-mic) *Ever….*

Persephone: :wow:

Gavin Kirkland: What can I say… other than… a masterpiece!

Stew-O: The Jaded Hearts certainly went above & beyond for this… and this may very well be every indication of the same being said for the titles that they will defend shortly against British Invasion & NICHOLISM, here on Pain for Pride Kingdom…

(The scenery returns to normal, with each team now situated in their respective corners as the Jaded Hearts gazed upon their titles one more time before handing them off to the referee. The referee stands in the middle of the ring, hoisting the titles up in the air before handing them off to the timekeepers area. With glances toward the teams and assuring they’re ready… the signal for the bell is made.)

 

(DING! DING! DING!)

Stew-O: AND WE’RE OFF! UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS ON THE LINE IN THIS TRIPLE THREAT TAG TEAM MATCH! One half of said champions, Sienna Jade, along with Halsey Neel & Alex Myers have decided to begin this match for their respective teams tonight. As a triple threat would allow for three elitists to be occupied within the ring at once, as they are able to begin this match and not have to keep one team from remaining absent throughout—WHICH HALSEY & ALEX SEEM MORE KEEN ON DOING AS THEY EACH SEND THEIR OWN SINGLE-LEG DROPKICK AGAINST SIENNA JADE! This appears to indicate who are rightfully the biggest threats in this match, as Alex now rushes over as they’re looking to send the rights & lefts to Sienna while they can! Visibly upset over how they lost their championships right back to the Jaded Hearts!

Gavin Kirkland: But look here!! Now Halsey wants some as she’s got her arms around Alex’s waist, and proceeds to toss them away from the corner without much of an issue! Now Neel’s focused on Sienna, sending her own pressure toward Sienna as she’s got a knife edge CHOP right across her chest! Halsey isn’t looking to slow down the pace here as she keeps the champion at bay with ANOTHER CHOP for good measure! And now we have Alex quickly moving over to pull Halsey off of Sienna here! They want some of their own with this woman!! Sending the forearms right across her temple as Halsey’s annoyance is beginning to show by dragging Alex back over!

Stew-O: Now the two challengers of their respective teams are sharing quite the words with one another, which may not be the most ideal thing to do in this situation by any means. We have usually seen time & time again how moments like this end up transitioning poorly for the two sides when they’re at opposition—

Gavin Kirkland: AS SIENNA JADE EMERGES FROM THE CORNER WITH A CHOP RIGHT ACROSS THE BACK OF ALEX MYERS’ NECK!! Alex stumbles onto his knees as Halsey’s eyes are directed back onto Sienna, aiming for a strike—BUT SIENNA WITH A STIFF KNEE ACROSS HER ABDOMEN!! Now Halsey’s taken down to her own knees as well, clutching her midsection as Sienna’s looking to continue this pressure while Alex Myers is bringing themselves back up using the ropes! Sienna rushes toward Alex with a kick across their chest!!!

Stew-O: ALEX DUCKS THE KICK & RUNS TOWARD HALSEY WITH A SHOTGUN DROPKICK! They send Halsey Neel reeling into the ropes as she’s able to clutch onto them and halt herself from dropping down!! Alex is keeping themselves in a proper rhythm as they’re now rushing back toward Sienna Jade with a leaping forearm.. SIENNA EVADES THE FOREARM, SENDING A KICK ACROSS MYERS ABDOMEN AS THEY’RE MOVING DOWNWARD! Alex is catching their abdomen as they’re turning over to Sienna, with one half of the tag team champions continuing to send the heat right back at Myers with a CHOP across the back of his neck again!!! Each chop sounds like a shotgun blast echoing throughout the arena as she’s surely got plenty of precision!

Persephone: If only you two would be just as precise with talking lower, you morons are trying to speak louder than these people and it’s hopeless.

Gavin Kirkland: Now Sienna’s looking for a maneuver that would surely suppress Alex further from employing the offense they would need to, with her arm around their neck as she’s got a grip of his attire here, and this is a familiar position as she’s looking for the NORTHERN LIGHTS SUPLEX—

Stew-O: HOLY SMOKES! HALSEY NEEL SWOOPED IN WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX ALONG WITH THE NORTHERN LIGHTS THAT SIENNA MADE POSSIBLE!!! Alex is down but as is Sienna, who’s trying to bring herself upward despite the groggy state that she finds herself to be in! Halsey’s now focused on Sienna Jade, sending some stiff knees of her own right across her midsection as she’s keeping Sienna at bay well enough for now! Sienna’s able to assume proper footing, but Halsey’s now leaning her against the ropes, sending clobbering forearms right over her chest as Sienna’s now shaking her head vigorously! She’s not willing to budge despite the visible hurt that Halsey is placing onto her!!

Gavin Kirkland: Which leads to a CHOP from Sienna being sent across Halsey’s own chest! FOLLOWED BY A CHOP OF HALSEY’S OWN! Now both women are throwing all of the chops out toward one another tonight, this is incredible!!!! I’m having the time of my life here!!! These ladies know exactly how to entertain & rough each other up in order to fight for the gold!

Stew-O: Looks like your fun’s about to spoiled rather QUICKLY—AS ALEX RUSHES OVER WITH A HURRICANRANA THAT SENDS HALSEY SPIRALING INTO SIENNA JADE! Both competitor are sent reeling through the ropes & out of the ring!!! Now Alex is pushing themselves upward, looking toward Sienna & Halsey as they’re trying to get to their own feet on the outside quickly! With Alex’s eyes set right on both elitists, they decide to run the ropes before running back, GOING FOR IT ALL!

Gavin Kirkland: AN EMPHATIC DIVE THROUGH THE ROPES FROM ALEX IS ABLE TO KNOCK BOTH HALSEY & SIENNA INTO THE BARRICADE! Myers is now trying to bring themselves up once more, nodding to themselves as they’ve been able to put both of their competitors into a lessened state! Now Alex needs to bring either elitist back into the ring so they can make good on this opportunity presented—WHAT THE?!?

Stew-O: SPINNING HEEL KICK FROM PAISLEY KNOCKS ALEX DOWN ONTO THE FLOOR!! Pandora seems to be taking initiative as she was standing on the apron that Alex dived over when initiating their maneuver! Now Pandora’s eagerly helping Halsey back into the ring, and she continues to apply this pressure while on the outside, as she’s got Alex propped back up to their feet… WITH BACK SUPLEX ONTO SIENNA JADE!!! Sienna’s being kept away from the noise now as Pandora tosses Alex Myers back into the ring! Now bringing herself back up to her own corner as Halsey’s got a hold of Alex, motioning over to their corner!

(TAG!)

Gavin Kirkland: Now we’ve got Pandora officially inserting herself into this match as the legal competitor! She goes through the ropes to focus on Alex—but Myers is fighting back! They’re throwing their own forearms toward both Halsey Neel & Pandora Paisley collectivity! Now Alex attempts to mount some greater offense as they’re running the ropes, rebounding back toward British Invasion.. DROPPED!!! A STIFF AXE KICK DROPS ALEX MYERS! Halsey’s able to knock Alex off of their feet while they’re clutching their jaw, returning to their knees but not able to move beyond that!

Stew-O: WHICH ALLOWS BRITISH INVASION TO NAIL A RUNNING KNEE STRIKE & SUPERKICK SIMULTANEOUSLY! Alex Myers is now rocked right back to laying flat on their own back as Halsey Neel rolls over to the corner of her own team! Pandora quickly crawls over to Alex and hooks the leg, looking to close this match out quickly!!

Referee: ONEEEEEEEEE!!!!

Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Persephone: Ugh, here we go again. 🙄

Gavin Kirkland: Quite the kick out from Alex Myers there, but not to worry! The pressure will surely be placed on the young competitor as Pandora’s not wasting her time in ensuring that much! Paisley brings herself back up, dragging Myers over to the ropes as she’s placing them right over the ropes! Now Pandora is placing all of the pressure onto Alex here with her knee placed directly over the back of Alex Myers’ neck! Alex doesn’t have any viability here to do anything aside from squirming about, and you can see Ruler’s scrambling to bring himself back into this match!

Stew-O: As now Pandora’s stomping down onto the back of their neck all the more! Each stomp becoming far more ruthless than the last as Alex Myers hasn’t been given any leeway to escape from this even if they had the energy to at this moment! Now Pandora’s got a grin over her own face as Alex is still propped over the ropes with no signs of moving! Paisley quickly turns herself to run toward the ropes, and then come back to employ further damage onto Alex—

Gavin Kirkland: SIENNA JADE WITH AN IMMENSE CLOTHESLINE THAT TAKES PANDORA DOWN!! Now Pandora’s being placed under her own measure of pressure as Sienna’s sending repeated knees across her midsection, not allowing Paisley the levity to breathe as she’s back in this match!!! Sienna sends a knee deliberately across her upper body that keeps Pandora propped against the middle turnbuckle!

Stew-O: And now Alex is slowly able to position themselves back up to a stance, with Sienna setting her gaze back onto Myers! Jade’s rushing toward Alex now—but Alex Myers is able to duck under Sienna’s swing and eagerly motion themselves over to their own corner!!!

(TAG!)

Persephone: *Sigh* I am not enjoying myself.

Gavin Kirkland: Sienna quickly turns herself around to maintain her own focus—BUT A SPRINGBOARD UPPERCUT FROM RULER DROPS SIENNA JADE DOWNWARD TO HER KNEES! Not taken down directly onto the mat just yet as Ruler does manage to stagger her with the sudden uppercut… BUT ALEX IS SURE TO RETURN THE FAVOR! STEP-UP ENZIGURI STAGGERS SIENNA JUST ENOUGH TO FALL BACK ENTIRELY!! NICHOLISM able to work together briefly till Alex rolls themselves away from the action and under the apron!

Stew-O: Now Ruler’s in the fray, right as Pandora’s looking for a forearm to knock Ruler back.. but Ruler ducks the forearm and sends a SIDE KICK right across Pandora with utmost authority! This is enough to cause Pandora to stumble backward into the rope as she’s rebounding toward Ruler—AND MET WITH AN EMPHATIC BICYCLE KICK THAT KNOCKS PANDORA OFF OF HER OWN FEET! Paisley’s still trying to keep herself moving, crawling herself around while trying to subside this pressure being placed onto her by Ruler!

Gavin Kirkland: As she’s now heading over to the corner! Ruler keeps his sights placed directly on Pandora before rushing toward her.. BUT PANDORA WITH THE BOOT UP! Ruler’s caught by the boot right across his own jaw as this causes him to stumble backward for the moment! Now Pandora’s looking to rush toward Ruler while he’s in this stationary state as she’s leaping off the mat to nail the DROPKICK & KNOCK HIM BACK FURTHER!

Stew-O: BUT RULER CATCHES HER FOOT! ANKLE LOCK APPLIED!! Pandora’s dropkick didn’t result in the control she may have been seeking out as now Ruler’s got the ankle lock here!! Paisley is squirming around, looking for any opening that she can have here while Ruler’s contorting her ankle as much as he possibly can! Now Pandora’s looking to muster up all of the energy that she can here to turn this into another maneuver in itself…

Gavin Kirkland: AS SHE MUSTERS UP THE ENERGY TO ROLL HERSELF FORWARD AS RULER’S FORCED TO MOVE FORWARD AS WELL! Right into a stiff forearm from a Sienna Jade!!! Now that Ruler’s rocked and stunned to a considerable degree, Sienna’s got her own opening here as she’s dropped Ruler to a knee! Now Sienna rushes toward Ruler while he’s been dropped with his back turned against her! The tag team champion proceeds to rush toward Ruler AND LOOK FOR THIS STIFF KICK TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD—BUT RULER DUCKS THE KICK AS SIENNA RUSHED TOWARD THE ROPES!

(TAG!)

Persephone: *Ohhhh shit.*

Stew-O: Ruler’s brought himself quite the opening here as he now returns back to his own two feet, with Sienna only briefly stopping herself against the ropes. Now Ruler’s looking to rush toward Sienna Jade, looking for a RUNNING FOREARM TO PUT SIENNA BACK INTO REELING—

Gavin Kirkland: SIENNA MOVES—FOLLOWED BY KASSIDY HEART WITH A FEROCIOUS LARIAT FROM THE APRON!! RULER’S DROPPED ONTO THE MAT WITH AUTHORITY AS KASSIDY’S NOW THE LEGAL COMPETITOR FOR THE JADED HEARTS! My heart’s growing another size every single time I get to see this fine lady perform!!!

Stew-O: And now Ruler’s doing all that he can to bring himself back up to a proper stance with how this match can turn for the absolute worst—BUT KASSIDY IS ENSURING THIS ALREADY HAS! THE SLEEPER HOLD IS APPLIED! She’s leaning Ruler’s upper back onto the ropes and pulling him over the ropes with her grip around her neck tightening!!! Ruler’s in a HORRIFIC position here as Kassidy’s choking the everliving life out of this man while he’s barely able to keep his own feet on the mat!!! BUT HERE COMES PANDORA LOOKING TO KNOCK THEM BOTH DOWN!

Gavin Kirkland: NOT QUITE! Pandora’s dropkick is successfully in sending Ruler over the ropes and out of the ring!!! Already assisted by Kassidy Heart’s modified sleeper hold from the apron she stood upon as she moved out of the way in time! Now Pandora’s bringing herself back up to her own feet once more, with Ruler temporarily out of the equation she’s got an immense threat before her that she must emphasize her focus on—

Stew-O: DIVING HURRICANRANA FROM KASSIDY HEART!!!! The diving hurricanrana pans out perfectly for the Mauler as Pandora’s sent reeling right onto her own lower back!!! She has a hand on her back while struggling to bring herself up quickly this time, as Kaasidy’s up to her feet without much of a problem, her eyes focused right on Paisley!

Persephone: The freshest bitch in this match who serves to be a damn near impossible problem… Throw out the bout now, speed this up.

Gavin Kirkland: Now Kassidy is sending deliberate stomps down onto the lower back of Pandora Paisley! She’s got her sights set directly onto where she needs them placed, as these spots are not giving Pandora any room to bounce back as long as Kass’ has got this much well prepared in the tank! Kassidy Heart now brings her arms around Pandora’s waist, interlocking her hands… SHORTLY BEFORE DEADLIFTING THE WOMAN UP FROM THE MAT AND PLANTING HER DOWN WITH THE GERMAN SUPLEX!!!! MAINTAINING THE BRIDGING PIN AT THAT!!

Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Stew-O: PANDORA WITH THE SHOULDER UP! But here’s Kassidy immediately grabbing a hold of that arm that Pandora raised!!! She brings herself right into a kneeling stance with her knee pressed against Pandora’s lower back… AS SHE’S NOW BRINGING HERSELF OVER PANDORA WITH THIS CAMEL CLUTCH!! Paisley is in a very tough position here as Kassidy is now placing as much of her body weight onto her back to prevent Pandora from potentially willing herself upward in any fashion!

Gavin Kirkland: This is not good at all!! Pandora Paisley is not in the most ideal submission where she can weasel her way into an escape, Kassidy Heart has an ironclad grip applied with her hands around her neck here and her arms trapped in place! Paisley is trying her best to drag much of her own body weight along with Kassidy’s—

Stew-O: CLOSE ENOUGH FOR HALSEY NEEL TO DIRECTLY INVOLVE HERSELF WITH AN ENZIGURI OF HER OWN SENT ACROSS KASSIDY’S TEMPLE! Halsey is able to return back to her feet now as… what the???

Persephone: This chick ate the fucking enziguri and still keeps the camel clutch applied. Throw the damn match!!!

Gavin Kirkland: WELL THAT’S NOT FALSE! KASSIDY REALLY DID ABSORB THE ENZIGURI FROM HALSEY NEEL!! This prompts Halsey to place her own arms around Kassidy from behind and drag Kassidy off herself! She’s got Kassidy around her arms now AS SHE’S LOOKING FOR THE GERMAN SUPLEX TO KASSIDY!!

Stew-O: KASSIDY TURNS THE GERMAN SUPLEX INTO A SWIFT ARM DRAG!! Quite the counter from the champion as Halsey is forced to roll through from the arm drag and against the corner, with Kassidy quick to her two feet before rushing toward Halsey Neel & looking for SLIDING FOREARM STRIKE ACROSS HER CHEST—

Gavin Kirkland: RULER WITH A DESPERATE BICYCLE KICK FROM THE OUTSIDE AS KASSIDY NAILED THE FOREARM! Now Kassidy is trying to shake off the bicycle kick quickly as Ruler caught her at the most opportune time imaginable! Kass’ is back up to her feet while Ruler’s rolling back into the ring, with Pandora working to be back into a proper stance as well! Ruler focuses all of his attention on Kassidy as he begins to bail repeated kicks across Kassidy’s chest!!! But the other half of the Jaded Hearts is increasingly stubborn, she’s refusing to go down!!!

Stew-O: Ruler goes for another kick—BUT KASSIDY EVADES THE KICK & AN IMMENSE ELBOW ROCKS RULER ACROSS HIS TEMPLE! Ruler’s unable to remain on his feet for long, dropping to a knee as Kassidy stumbled back slightly after nailing the elbow… BEFORE CATCHING RULER WITH ‘THE SHINING’!!! TRIANGLE CHOKE IS LOCKED IN!!!

Persephone: I think Pandora is—

Gavin Kirkland: INDEED IT IS! Ruler’s finding it all the more difficult to escape this submission as Kassidy has done well enough to suppress the challenger from mounting considerable offense! Ruler is struggling to pull himself upward and use his own strength to somehow escape this triangle choke, and Kassidy’s isn’t intending on letting go for anything in the world! All about retaining these championships as Ruler is beginning to fade—OH MY GOODNESS!!

Stew-O: ‘THE PRICE TAG’ ONTO KASSIDY!!!! PANDORA OUT OF NOWHERE AS THE ELBOW LANDS DIRECTLY ONTO KASSIDY’S CHEST! She’s forced to let go of the triangle choke as she rolls herself away! Now Pandora’s got an opportunity to set this match on the proper track for the British Invasion while Ruler’s coughing up the storm of his own, incapacitated for the time being!

(TAG!)

Gavin Kirkland: HALSEY NEEL IS BACK IN THE BOUT! Her eyes pulsate with anger after Kassidy’s sliding forearm from earlier, both women focusing in on Ruler as he is groggily bringing himself up to a stance!!!

Stew-O: As Halsey’s sending a stiff forearm across Ruler’s temple for good measure!!! Shortly before Ruler was taken upward onto his feet, with Halsey using all of her strength to have Ruler elevated from the mat in this electric chair position!!! Pandora is able to take herself up to the top turnbuckle while Ruler hasn’t moved… ‘BLACKPOOL TOWER’!!!!! THE ELECTRIC CHAIR & METEORA COMBINATION SENDS RULER CRASHING ONTO THE MAT!!! THE COVER!!!

Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE—

(WHACK!!!!)

Persephone: HOLY SHIT! KASSIDY JUST THREW THAT CHAIR DIRECTLY INTO HALSEY’S CRANIUM!!!!

Gavin Kirkland: THAT SHE DID! NO DISQUALIFICATIONS UNDER TRIPLE THREAT OFFICIATIONS! AND NOW THE REST OF THE FIELD ARE LOOKING TOWARD THE RING TO SEE THAT KASSIDY HAS MADE THIS ALL THE MORE INTERESTING… AS NOW THEY’RE ALL SCAVENGING UNDER THE APRON AND PULLING OUT THEIR OWN MEASURE OF WEAPONRY!!! KASSIDY’S RUSHING OVER TOWARD HALSEY NEEL, LOOKING TO TAKE FULL ON ADVANTAGE OF THE OPPORTUNITY PRESENTED WITH HERSELF AND RULER UNABLE TO FIGHT BACK!

Stew-O: KASSIDY SEES HALSEY’S HEAD PERCHED OVER THE CHAIR SHE THREW DIRECTLY INTO HER, NOW LOOKING TO PUT HER DOWN IN AN IMMENSE WAY! Now Kassidy sees Halsey’s head perched over the chair she threw directly into her face!! She’s looking to put her down in an immense way here, running toward her FOR THE ‘PAINFULLY EVER AFTER’—

Gavin Kirkland: OH MY GOD!!! PANDORA WITH THE CHAIN WRAPPED AROUND KASSIDY’S THROAT!!! PAISLEY SAVING HALSEY NEEL FROM DISASTER AS SHE’S GOT THE CHAINLINK TIGHTLY WRAPPED AROUND HER NECK, KASSIDY’S TRYING TO FIGHT THIS OFF AS MUCH AS SHE POSSIBLY CAN!

Stew-O: Now all the while, Halsey is draping herself over the apron… as she yanks out a trash can from under the apron!!! TOSSED DIRECTLY INTO THE RING! AN ASSORTMENT OF WEAPONRY IS SPILLING OUT OF THE TRASH CAN! Pandora’s still maintaining this chokehold over Kassidy as the Mauler’s struggling!!

Gavin Kirkland: BUT NOT FOR LONG! SHE’S ABLE TO BACK PANDORA INTO THE TURNBUCKLE TO LOOSEN THE GRIP!! AND NOW KASSIDY IS SENDING REPEATED BACK ELBOWS ACROSS THE TEMPLE OF PAISLEY TO KEEP FREEING HERSELF HERE! One half of the champions being able to think quickly and bring herself out of disaster for the moment! BUT HERE’S RULER—

Stew-O: MY GOODNESS! THE KNEE STRIKE WITH THE BARBED WIRE WRAPPED AROUND THE KNEE!!! Ruler must’ve been able to obtain the barbed wire from the trash can! Kassidy was able to move herself out of the way as Ruler struck Pandora with the barbed wire assisted knee instead!!! This causes Pandora to slump down against the corner, but Ruler’s now turning himself around to focus on Kass!!

Gavin Kirkland: WOAH, WAIT A SECOND! ‘NORVINA LIGHTS’ ONTO THE STEEL CHAIR!!!! THE HURRICANRANA SPIKES RULER’S HEAD DIRECTLY ONTO THE CHAIR AS KASSIDY’S PINPOINT PRECISION IS MADE CLEAR!! Kassidy rushes over to the cover, with Ruler laid out as there’s the opportunity for the champs to retain!!!

Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE—

Persephone: HALSEY SLAMS A FUCKING STOP SIGN OVER THIS CHICK’S SKULL!!!!

Stew-O: THE STOP SIGN STOPS THE COUNT FROM PERSISTING AS KASSIDY’S DAZED! Halsey Neel’s brought herself back into this battle that has spiraled into madness now!! She’s dragging Kassidy over into a proper stance here, using her own strength to HOIST KASSIDY UP FROM OFF THE MAT…

Gavin Kirkland: MICHINOKU DRIVER ONTO THE TRASH CAN! Halsey Neel drilling Kassidy downward onto the trash can as she’s able to incapacitate her for the time being! Now Halsey returns to her feet, dragging Kassidy away from the trash can to a better surface of the mat for the pin—

Stew-O: ALEX MYERS WITH A SPRINGBOARD DROPKICK THAT SENDS HALSEY NEEL REELING DOWNWARD!!! Myers has inserted themselves into the fray as they’re quickly motioning back over to the corner, with Ruler doing all he can to crawl himself over, the blood beginning to form over his own face after Kassidy caused the red to build!!

(TAG!)

Gavin Kirkland: And now Alex Myers is the legal competitor for NICHOLISM! Ruler’s now perching himself up to the top turnbuckle as Alex tosses him a stop sign for his troubles! With Kassidy now returning to her own feet—OH MY GOODNESS!!! ‘CATCH THE RAINBOW’ METEORA WITH RULER DRIVING HIMSELF ONTO KASSIDY WITH THE STOP SIGN!!! THE INDENTATIONS ARE EVIDENT WITH THAT THING! Kassidy is laid out from the impact.. BUT NOW ALEX MYERS IS LOOKING TO CONTINUE THE ASSAULT!

Stew-O: ‘DOCTOR SLEEP’ WITH THE CHAIR AS THE BASE OF THE COLLISION DOWNWARD! Kassidy’s quickly clutching her own neck as Alex Myers fired off with the knees aided by the chair!!! They rush to the cover!!!!

Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Referee: THREEEEEEE—

Persephone: Kass’ kicks out!! We should expect that their offense must feel like being hit by a chew toy for her!!

Gavin Kirkland: Kassidy with all of the wherewithal as she does kick out!!! Now Alex is willing themselves upward as—WHAT THE, SIENNA NAILS A KNEE LIFT ONTO PANDORA WHILE SHE WAS RECOVERING ON THE APRON!! Alex sees the commotion on the apron as they’re now focused on noise going down between the two! They quickly grab a 2×4 that spilled out of the trash can, rushing over to Sienna & Pandora!!!

Stew-O: HALSEY WHIPS THE CHAIN RIGHT ACROSS ALEX MYERS’ BACK AS THEY FALL FORWARD OVER THE ROPES, HOLDING ONTO THEM!! That was as ugly as it could’ve looked as Sienna’s now got Alex where she needs them, dragging them over the top rope and onto the same apron!! Now Sienna’s got Alex in her own position here…

Gavin Kirkland: WITH A DDT SPIKING ALEX MYERS ONTO THE APRON!!! THE DDT FROM SIENNA DOES IT!! Alex folds over onto the ringside floor without avail as Sienna has been able to keep Myers down for the time being! Sienna soon turns herself around to—

(**WHACK!!!!**)

Stew-O: PANDORA WITH THE GLASS PANE??!?? THE GLASS PANE STRIKES SIENNA RIGHT OVER HER OWN SKULL AS SHE’S WIDE-EYED & DAZED! Paisley now drags Sienna over to the barricade, able to keep her footing in place before FIXING SIENNA’S POSITIONING HERE.. ‘BLACK PUDDING’ ONTO THE BARRICADE!!! SIENNA’S FACE PLANTS INTO THE BARRICADE AS SHE’S LAID OUT ON THE RINGSIDE FLOOR! Pandora quickly returns to her corner as Halsey is able to make the tag!

(TAG!)

Persephone: Pandora’s now taking her attention toward Alex Myers, who is doing all that they can to bring themselves up and shake off the DDT from earlier! Paisley uses all of her strength to bring up the steel steps from the corner, with the top portion in her hands as she sees Alex trying to get up! I’M READY! SHE’S GONNA TOSS IT TOWARD THE—

Gavin Kirkland: DIVING PLANCHA BY RULER TAKES PANDORA DOWN! RULER STOPS DISASTER FROM TAKING SHAPE! ALEX MADE THE TAG SIMULTANEOUSLY! Now Ruler’s quickly working his way back up, trying his best to shake this off to the best of his ability as he wants to regroup with his partner—

Stew-O: HALSEY NEEL WITH THE CLOTHESLINE ACROSS THE BACK OF RULER’S HEAD!! Neel’s able to drop Ruler with authority as he’s now prone, still trying to crawl but not in the most conscious state! Halsey eagerly drags Ruler up to his feet now, and she’s got Ruler where he’s needed to continue applying this pressure!!!

Gavin Kirkland: ‘FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS’ WITH HALSEY’S KNEE AND THE EDGE OF THE STEEL STEPS BEING WHAT RULER CRASHES DOWN UPON! THE BACK OF HIS NECK TOOK OF THAT AS HALSEY POSITIONED HERSELF PERFECTLY!!! Now she’s turning herself around to focus on Alex Myers, rushing toward them with a BICYCLE KNEE FOR ‘OFF WITH YOUR HEAD’—

Stew-O: ALEX DUCKS AND ROLLS THROUGH! Halsey misses the knee but quickly turns herself back around—AS SHE’S CAUGHT BY ‘REAL EXISTENCE’!!! ALEX ROLLED FORWARD AND NAILED THE CUTTER TO TAKE HALSEY DOWN!!

Stew-O: Halsey’s been rocked by the cutter as she rolls over, with the upper half of her body under the apron!!! Alex Myers is pushing themselves back up with aid of the barricade now, as they’re feeling the momentum fall onto NICHOLISM despite the carnage that’s taking place tonight!!! Alex spots Sienna slowly making it back up to her own two feet, as now Myers uses all of their own strength to bring the steel steps up… AND NOW DRIVES THE STEPS INTO SIENNA’S TEMPLE!!

Gavin Kirkland: Sienna is brought back down once more for the moment!!! Alex now focuses on Halsey, who is still halfway under the apron as Myers looks to pull her away from the apron now—

Persephone: AND MET WITH THE SURPRISE OF A STRAP BEING WHIPPED OVER THEIR CHEST AS A RESULT!!! THE STRAP CAN BE HEARD ACROSS THE ENTIRE STADIUM!!

Stew-O: THE STRAP STRIKES ALEX ACROSS THE CHEST WITH IMMENSE IMPACT! Now Halsey is bringing herself back up to her own feet as she’s repeatedly striking the belt right over Alex Myers’ back & body! OVER AND OVER SHE GOES, EACH STRIKE OF THE STRAP AS UNRELENTING AS THE LAST!! YOU CAN SEE THE MARKS BEING LEFT BEHIND ACROSS THEIR BODY!

Gavin Kirkland: AND NOW SHE WRAPS THE STRAP AROUND ALEX MYERS’ THROAT AND TIGHTENS THIS GRIP! Alex is quickly up to their feet as they’re desperately looking around for any way to escape this!!!! Halsey’s got the leather tightly wrapped around his neck here!!!

Persephone: Guys…

Stew-O: EVERYONE ELSE IN THIS MATCH IS CURRENTLY DOWN! HALSEY CAN LEAVE ALEX UNCONSCIOUS RIGHT HERE AND BRING THEM BACK INTO THE RING TO TAKE ADVANTAGE!

Persephone: HELLO???

Gavin Kirkland: BUT ALEX IS TRYING TO FIGHT THROUGH THIS! THEY’RE BACKING TOWARD THE BARRICADE, ALL THE WHILE HALSEY ISN’T INTERESTED IN LETTING GO!!!

Persephone: YOU IDIOTS LOOK WHO’S RUNNING TOWARD THEM—

(# CRASH!!!!)

Stew-O: OH MY GOD!!! KASSIDY JUST SPEARED BOTH HALSEY NEEL & ALEX MYERS THROUGH THE BARRICADE!!!! KASSIDY HEART WAITED FOR THE PERFECT OPPORTUNITY TO STRIKE & MADE GOOD ON THE CHANCE GIVEN!!!! HALSEY & ALEX ARE LAID OUT IN THE DEBRIS OF THE BARRICADE AS KASSIDY’S NOW SITTING HERSELF UP, BREATHING HEAVILY WITH A SADISTIC SMIRK GROWING ON HER FACE!!

(Kassidy motions over to Sienna, helping her back up to her own feet as she sported a newfound crimson mask. Kassidy wipes away the blood from around Sienna’s eyes, grinning to her as she points to Ruler & Pandora.)

Kassidy Heart: (off-mic) Look at them!!! They’re on their last legs!!! We’ll drop them dead if we fucking have to! C’mon!!

(Sienna gives her the nod as a grin grows on her own face, while they both look toward Ruler, who’s slowly bringing himself up to his feet.)

Persephone: This moron is really trying to be all macho with two of the most dangerous women on the planet eyeing him???

Gavin Kirkland: WHICH ENDS IN DISASTER! ‘THE RAPTURE’ HELLUVA KICK FROM KASSIDY SENDS RULER REELING BACK FIRST INTO THE RING POST!! Sienna’s now quickly dragging the steel steps up from off the floor as she’s looking ahead toward Ruler—AND DRIVES THE STEEL STEPS ONTO HIS TEMPLE!!! RULER SLUMPS DOWN WITHOUT AVAIL! Now the Jaded Hearts have their sights set on Pandora Paisley!!! Every other competitor in this match has been incapacitated by the champions, Pandora’s groggily getting to her feet as they tread toward her!

Stew-O: BUT PANDORA WON’T STAY DOWN! She’s sending the forearms their way, with a forearm sent across Kassidy’s temple! Then another spiraling toward Sienna’s jaw!!! Kassidy’s trying to put Pandora down with a knee—BUT PANDORA SENDS A ‘WTH’ RIGHT HOOK!!! KASSIDY’S ROCKED BY THE RIGHT HOOK AS PANDORA HAS HER MOMENT HERE! SHE’S GOT KASSIDY IN PLACE… ‘CATastrophe’ READY TO GO—

Gavin Kirkland: BAM!!!! STEEL CHAIR FROM SIENNA JADE SMACKS PANDORA OVER HER SKULL!!! Pandora let’s go of Kassidy as Kass’ is now leaned against the apron, clutching her jaw after the right hook from Pandora that nearly set up disaster!!! Now Kassidy’s looking toward Paisley as she then eyes Sienna, nodding to her… what the???

Stew-O: They’ve got Pandora where she needs to be as they’re situated close to the announce desk!!! Paisley is rocked after the chair caught her in complete disarray… AS THE JADED HEARTS TAKE ADVANTAGE—

Gavin Kirkland: HOLY CRAP!!!!! ‘GOLDEN STATE OF MIND’ ONTO PANDORA AS SIENNA DRIVES PAISLEY INTO THE ANNOUNCE DESK!!!! THE DESK IMPLODES OFF IMPACT!!!!! PANDORA IS SURELY OUT OF IT!

Stew-O: KASS’ DUCKS THE SPINNING BACK FIST—AND NAILS THE ‘HEART STOPPER’!!!! HEART PUNCH CATCHES RULER AS HE’S MOMENTARILY STOPPED, WITH KASSIDY RIPPING THE BARBED WIRE AWAY FROM AROUND HIS LEG.. AS SHE’S NOW WRAPPING THE BARBED WIRE ALL AROUND HIS UPPER BODY!! ALL AROUND HIS ARMS AND FACE AS RULER’S NOT PREPARED FOR WHAT’S NEXT!!!

Gavin Kirkland: ‘NECRO MAULER’ IS LOCKED IN!!!! THE HURT LOCK IS APPLIED WITH THE BARBED WIRE APPLYING ADDITIONAL PRESSURE ACROSS RULER’S BODY!! KASSIDY’S TIGHTLY APPLYING THE SUBMISSION AS RULER HAS NO WAY OF ESCAPING THIS!!! HE’S ABSOLUTELY SPENT AS HE’S ON HIS KNEES, WITH KASSIDY ENSURING THAT RULER IS ENTIRELY UNCONSCIOUS TO BRING VICTORY CLOSER TO THE JADED HEARTS!

Stew-O: AND RULER’S COMPLETELY FADED!!! HE’S SLUMPED AND UNCONSCIOUS BUT SIENNA IS THE LEGAL COMPETITOR!!! KASSIDY FINALLY LETS GO, AND NOW SHE’S MOTIONING OVER TO SIENNA, AS ONE ARM DRAPED OVER RULER SECURES THE VICTORY—

Persephone: WHAT THE HELL?!?

Gavin Kirkland: HALSEY NEEL RUBS THUMB TACKS INTO KASSIDY HEART’S EYES FROM BEHIND!!! HALSEY WAS ABLE TO RECOVER AND RETRIEVE THE BAG OF TACKS FROM UNDER THE RING! KASSIDY IS FORCED TO LET GO AS SHE’S RUBBING HER OWN EYES IN PAIN!!! THE THUMBTACKS WERE SPREAD ACROSS HER FACE AS RULER’S LAID OUT & ENTIRELY IMMOBILE!!! KASS’ TURNS TO HALSEY!!!

(The referee’s arm was held from hitting the mat, with Alex confused by not hearing the sound of the three count as they turned their glance to the left.)

Gavin Kirkland: # A PRECIOUS MOMENT TOO LATE!!!

(DING! DING! DING!)

Bella Braxton: HERE ARE YOUR WINNERS…. AND STILLLLLLLL EAW UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS, KASSIDY HEART & SIENNA JADE… THE JADEDDDDD HEARTS!!!

(‘True Love’ can be heard throughout the stadium as Kassidy lets go of Pandora, with a grin falling upon her face while leaning against the apron. Sienna’s slowly sitting herself up, breathing heavily as she’s holding the back of her own head as well. Kassidy motions over to Sienna, rolling into the ring as she regroups with her, an arm wrapped around her while snatching the championships from the referee as he retrieves the titles over.)

Persephone: Aw, neither of the other teams got to achieve their Pain for Pride moment together. Oh well!

Gavin Kirkland: A match that began with its tag charm, turning into the destructive battle warranted by how personal this all became for these championships. We fully expected this to turn out for the absolute worst, and this turned out to be the war we were anticipating! All three teams did that they all could, but only one could stand tall!

Stew-O: Pain for Pride has delivered on numerous matches this weekend being as gruesome & rough to witness as you can get, and tonight, I don’t believe every single person who partook in this match will be leaving the same. British Invasion & NICHOLISM brought everything that they could, but nothing could’ve stopped the champions on this night. Congratulations, to the Jaded Hearts!

(Kassidy Heart & Sienna Jade slowly move back up to their feet, as they’re able to hold their retained championships high in the air with smirks plastered over their faces. Halsey Neel regroups with Pandora Paisley at ringside, both showing visible disgruntlement at the result as Ruler’s with Alex Myers in the corner in disappointment. Both teams glance toward the Jaded Hearts standing tall with their titles, as Pain for Pride Kingdom fades elsewhere.)

(Pain For Pride Kingdom would fade back in as the next match graphic was seen flashing across the screen. The crowd immediately erupted upon seeing it.)

(The camera then faded back in to get a good shot of Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida, before it then transitioned to show Stephie Love who was standing by in the center of the ring with a microphone in hand.)

Stephie Love: The following contest is scheduled for…

Crowd: ONE FALL!!!

Stephie Love: And it is for the FATE OF FRIDAY NIGHT DYNASTY!!!

(The camera transitioned backstage, as the shot focused on a pair of feet that were seen walking through the hallway headed to Gorilla Position. It panned up… before it was revealed to be none other than Bronson Daniels. The crowd roared inside the Camping World Stadium as soon as they saw him, and as he did, he encountered a long line of people that were along the side of the hallway, some of them applauded him and cheered him on.)

(His eyes stopped at a person who was there, SOSA Henderson, someone who he had feuded with in the past but most importantly, was one of the earliest people to have issues with Kensingten Calhoun-Astor and Richard Grant during his time as a member of Soul Food Sunday. He simply eyed him, as he gave a nod of acknowledgment.)

(In the background, someone who had not been seen by Bronson, was former Interwire Champion Drake Armstrong. Back in his early Dynasty days, he would’ve gone to bat for Richard and Kensingten, but now it seemed that was behind him, for now even as bad as he is as a person, he had a line that he could draw. He simply watched on, but his presence alone was enough to make a statement.)

(Someone else who had lost a Championship at Pain For Pride this weekend was Machina Machina, as he was also seen eyeing Bronson as he made his way backstage. He had his problems with Kensingten and Richard leading up to his win as New Breed Champion. Despite that being long forgotten, it’s certainly still something that Machina remembered. Bronson gave a simple look at him, and Machina only crossed his arms.)

(The last person in the hallway that was seen was King of Elite Joso, coming off a massive win against Impact the previous night. He had gone on record for having mutual respect for Bronson Daniels after their encounters inside of the ring, and his feelings about Richard and Kensingten should not even need to be said. He looked at Bronson before he nodded his head in approval, Bronson nodded back before he then made his way to Gorilla Position.)

(Bronson was about to make his entrance, having greeted everyone that was in support of him, but as he did he was stopped by a nearby stagehand, who handed him his phone. Bronson looked at the text message that had popped up, with a simple message sent.)

(“If you don’t fuck that old bozo up, damn.”)

(Bronson chuckled before he handed the phone back, knowing exactly who the message was sent by before he looked up to see one person standing in front of him.)

Limmy Monaghan: You got this far.

Bronson Daniels: I did, didn’t I?

(Limmy chuckled, despite the loss the previous night, it didn’t deter him from supporting his friend. He made his way over and embraced him into a hug, as he patted him on the shoulder.)

Limmy Monaghan: Finish the job.

(Bronson nodded his head, and before long… ‘My War’ by Shinsei Kamattechan began playing up through the arena speakers, which caused the crowd to go berserk.)

Stephie Love: INTRODUCING FIRST… RESIDING IN LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA… WEIGHING IN AT 190 POUNDS… HE IS ‘THE HONORED ONE’… BRONSON DANIELS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Bronson Daniels was then seen energetically making his way out to the stage. He fed off the crowd’s energy as he hyped them up himself. He then looked toward the ring, taking a deep breath before nodding his head, and then began to make his way down the ramp. As he did a shot was seen of the gear that he wore tonight, adorned in shades of red as there are illustrations all over the gear of the Pain For Pride victories that Bronson has gotten over the years. His New Breed Title defense at his first Pain For Pride, his two wins against Andre Walker, and his Interwire Title defense as well.)

Stew-O: Well, Bronson Daniels has been waiting a very long time for this. We know how much Friday Night Dynasty means to him, we know the legendary run that he has had on this brand including winning a World Championship. He has said on multiple occasions that he’ll go to bat for this brand, and amid an intense power struggle, it’s no surprise that he stepped up to represent the side of Tyrone Montgomery and Diamond Dixon.

Flannery McCoy: We saw the lengths that he’s been willing to go to in order to defend this brand, and now is the final step. If he wins, then everything goes back to the way it was, if he loses… then Dynasty takes a massive shift under the hands of Kensingten Calhoun-Astor and Richard Grant. I know we’re supposed to be mostly objective… Jake… but it’s safe to say that I’m heavily rooting for him.

(Flannery shot a glare at Jake who sighed.)

Jake Mercer: I’ll put the beef I have with him away for now. :wow:

(Bronson climbed up the steel steps and headed up to the top turnbuckle. He looked out to the sea of fans who relentlessly showed their support for the Dynasty faithful before he then jumped down and circled around the ring for a moment. He stopped where he had a clear view of the stage while ‘My War’ began to fade out. Then, he anxiously awaited his opponent to finally make his presence known.)

(It wasn’t long before ‘Praise Gawd’ by Kanye West began to blare through the speakers of the arena. As, at the center of the stage, a ring of fire is shown beginning to form. The flames reached dangerous heights as the crowd looked in awe of this. Along with that, flames were seen shooting out from all sides of the stages.)

(Slowly, rising out from the circle of fire that engulfed center stage, is EAW Hall of Famer and Chairman of The Board, Methuselah. He was seen in his classic ring attire, muted to a pitch-black color scheme, as his eyes were focused solely on the ring and, in it, his opponent. The crowd reached a fever pitch as Methuselah stepped out of the ring of fire, then began to make his way down the ramp and toward the ring, a man on a mission as his face continued to be completely serious.)

Stephie Love: AND HIS OPPONENT… RESIDING IN THE ETHER… WEIGHING IN AT 17 STONE… HE IS ‘THE DEMIURGE’… METHUSELAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stew-O: There are only two people who have competed at all 17 Pain For Pride Marquee Events since its inception. The first person competed earlier this weekend, Impact, and the second… is about to compete tonight. Methuselah wouldn’t miss Pain For Pride for the world and has already said that he has put himself into the EAW Draft and promised this wouldn’t be the last time he competed in 2024. It’s clear that he’s here for the long haul, but the first step in his journey toward that lies at Pain For Pride.

Flannery McCoy: Bronson has been a nuisance, and Methuselah has done everything that he can within his limitless powers to muffle him and his attempts, but it’s all led to this. If Methuselah wins, then Dynasty’s power shifts permanently, and we know that he’s perfectly capable of doing that. Pain For Pride is his element, it’s his event, and beating Bronson Daniels, though which may be a challenge, is something he isn’t incapable of. We’re about to see the best of the greatest tonight, and whether Bronson is up to that is completely up to how far he’s willing to go to fight for the Fate of Dynasty…

Jake Mercer: :lupe: Which can only get you so far…

(Methuselah slowly made his way up the steel steps as he headed onto the apron, slowly entering through the ropes before he looked over and eyed Bronson in the corner. The flames of the pyro on the stage illuminated off of the former World Heavyweight Champion as he, without fear, prepared for his battle against the Chairman. Methuselah could only smirk as he took off his entrance gear, “Praise Gawd’ then began to come to a close as the referee checked on both before ringing the bell.)

(DING! DING! DING!)

(As soon as the bell rang, something clicked inside of Bronson’s brain. He had no choice but to get off to a quick start, so that’s exactly what he did.)

Stew-O: BRONSON RUSHES METHUSELAH AND DRIVES HIS SHOULDER INTO THE MID-SECTION! METHUSELAH IS PUSHED BACK INTO THE CORNER AND BRONSON TAKES A PAGE OUT OF THE CHAIRMAN’S OWN BOOK! HE’S THROWING NUMEROUS BOXING STYLE PUNCHES AND JABS, CONNECTING AT THE HEAD, NECK, AND TORSO!

Flannery McCoy: METHUSELAH IS ROCKED AND BRONSON LEAPS UP, STRIKING METHUSELAH UNDERNEATH THE CHIN WITH A KNEE, AND METHUSELAH’S HEAD SNAPS BACK! BRONSON FOLLOWS UP WITH A LEFT… A RIGHT… AND A SPINNING BACKFIST THAT KNOCKS METHUSELAH OFF BALANCE!

Jake Mercer: BRONSON STOMPS METHUSELAH DOWN INTO A SITTING POSITION AND IS USING HIS FOOT TO TRY AND CHOKE OUT THE CHAIRMAN! THE REFEREE HAS ALLOWED THIS CORNER OFFENSE SO FAR, BUT HE CAN’T LET AN ILLEGAL CHOKE STAND! BRONSON IS FORCED TO BACK OFF AT THE COUNT OF FOUR, BUT HE’S DRAGGING METHUSELAH OUT OF THE CORNER BY HIS HAIR!

Stew-O: BRONSON WITH A SNAPMARE, WHICH LEAVES METHUSELAH SITTING UP, AND HE RUSHES TOWARDS THE ROPES! BRONSON SHOWS OFF HIS ATHLETICISM BY LEAPING OVER METHUSELAH, REBOUNDS OFF THE ROPES… AND HE CATCHES HIM IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD WITH A DROPKICK!

Flannery McCoy: BRONSON DOESN’T BOTHER GOING FOR THE COVER BECAUSE HE KNOWS IT’S NOT GOING TO BE ENOUGH!

Jake Mercer: BRONSON DRAGS METHUSELAH TO HIS KNEES AND STARTS UNLOADING THOSE KICKS! DO YOU HEAR THE SOUND THAT’S MAKING AS BRONSON CONNECTS WITH METHUSELAH’S CHEST??

Stew-O: METHUSELAH FALLS BACKWARDS AS HE CLUTCHES HIS CHEST AND BRONSON DROPS A KNEE DOWN INTO THE STERNUM! METHUSELAH LOOKS TO ROLL TOWARDS THE ROPES BUT BRONSON IS QUICK TO CUT HIM OFF! METHUSELAH ATTEMPTS TO STAND BUT A DROPKICK KNOCKS HIM BACK INTO THE ROPES!

Jake Mercer: BRONSON CLIPS METHUSELAH IN THE BACK OF THE KNEES AND DECIDES TO USE THE ROPES TO CHOKE THE HALL OF FAMER!

Flannery McCoy: ONCE AGAIN THE REFEREE HAS TO GET INVOLVED, FORCING BRONSON TO LET UP! BRONSON BACKS OFF FOR HALF A SECOND AND HE’S GONE RIGHT BACK TO THE CHOKE!

(This continued on for several moments, and the entire crowd was solidly behind Bronson. He could hear them and it was fueling him, because tonight, Bronson needed them. The EAW Universe had been with him through thick and thin, and there is no way he could live with himself if he were to let them down. The future of Dynasty was riding on his shoulders tonight, and so were the hopes of the sold-out, Orlando crowd.)

(The aggression Bronson had brought to the ring with him is what was driving him to choke the hell out of Methuselah. He was doing just enough to stay in the match without risking disqualification, and that was Bronson’s game plan for tonight. He was going to toe the line between right and wrong, and play a very methodical game of cat and mouse with one of the nastiest, most ruthless men to have ever stepped inside the ring.)

Stew-O: BRONSON HAS A HANDFUL OF HAIR AND HE RAKES THE CHAIRMAN’S FACE ACROSS THE ROPES! METHUSELAH IS GRABBING AT HIS FACE, BUT BRONSON REFUSES TO LET UP! HE RAKES METHUSELAH’S FACE AGAINST THE ROPES AGAIN AND NOW HE IS STOMPING HIM IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD!

Flannery McCoy: THIS MIGHT BE THE MOST DETERMINED BRONSON DANIELS I HAVE EVER SEEN! BRONSON HAULS METHUSELAH UP AND LEVELS HIM WITH AN UPPERCUT! METHUSELAH’S HEAD SNAPS BACK AND BRONSON KICKS HIM IN THE GUT! HE GRABS FOR THE ARM AND WHIPS METHUSELAH ACROSS THE RING!

Jake Mercer: METHUSELAH LOCKS HIS ARMS, STOPPING HIMSELF FROM REBOUNDING! BRONSON CHARGES IN BUT METHUSELAH GETS THE FEET UP! BRONSON TAKES IT ON THE CHIN, SHAKES IT OFF, AND CHARGES AGAIN BUT METHUSELAH LIFTS HIM UP AND TOSSES HIM OVER THE ROPES!

Stew-O: BRONSON LANDS ON THE APRON AND CLUBS METHUSELAH IN THE BACK OF THE NECK! METHUSELAH IMMEDIATELY GRABS FOR HIS NECK BUT BRONSON HAS THE HAIR AND HE DROPS OFF THE APRON!

Flannery McCoy: THE BACK OF METHUSELAH’S NECK JUST SNAPPED ACROSS THE TOP ROPE AND HE FALLS TO HIS KNEES! BRONSON YANKS HIM OUT OF THE RING AND SENDS HIM CRASHING INTO THE STEEL RING STEPS!

(Bronson could not have asked for a better start to this match. Methuselah was sprawled out on the ground, clearly in pain, and for Bronson, well he was just getting started. He ignored the referee’s pleas to bring the match back inside the ring. Instead, he picked up the top of the steps and brought it crashing down into Methuselah’s knees.)

Jake Mercer: I won’t even try to get inside the mind of our esteemed Chairman right now, but I can’t imagine he thought that Bronson Daniels would come out swinging tonight… at least not to this extent.

Stew-O: We know how tenacious Bronson can be, and as a competitor, there are few greater, but he seems to be fighting for so much more than just a victory tonight.

Flannery McCoy: Obviously he is, Stew. We all know what’s on the line. The fate of Dynasty hinges on the result of this match, and maybe Bronson’s own future does as well.

(No doubt that thought was in the back of Bronson’s mind. He continued to ignore the referee, who by this time, had started the count. Methuselah was forced to his unsteady feet and Bronson rammed him face first into the LED ringpost. Methuselah hit the post with a thud, before he collapsed onto the ground. Bronson stomped on his face a few times before making him stand once again. This time, Methuselah found himself driven into the opposite post. Bronson did not let him go. Instead, he maintained control of the neck, spun around, and dropped Methuselah across the discarded ring steps with a neckbreaker.)

(After that, he rolled into the ring to break up the count.)

Referee: (off-mic) Get Methuselah back in the ring, Bronson.

Bronson Daniels: (off-mic) Not tonight, man. All bets are off.

(With that, Bronson slipped out of the ring again.)

Flannery McCoy: :lupe: All bets are off. I wonder what that means…

Jake Mercer: I think it means that Methuselah is fucked, Flannery.

(In the time it had taken Bronson to break up the count inside the ring, Methuselah had gotten a bit of a reprieve. With decades of experience under his belt in terms of wrestling and handling tricky, dire situations, Methuselah knew that he could shake off this aggressive start from Bronson. Sensing that the former World Heavyweight Champion was back on the outside, Methuselah pushed himself up.)

(As he did, he was met with a clubbing blow to the back of the skull, followed up with a nasty punch right into his kidney area. With only a few choices at his disposal right now, Methuselah pulled himself back into the ring. As Bronson followed him, a rush of adrenaline kicked in for Methuselah. He scrambled back to the outside, and hoped that Bronson would follow him.)

(Bronson took the bait.)

(Methuselah turned around, right as Bronson caught up with him, and using one of the oldest tricks in the book, he jammed his thumb right in Bronson’s eye. A rake of the face followed before Methuselah grabbed a handful of hair and slammed Bronson’s face right onto the apron. He pulled himself up, bringing Bronson with him, and forced him back against the ropes.)

(The audience gasped as the chop Methuselah unloaded on Bronson seemingly echoed throughout the stadium. Bronson dropped his knees, grabbing his chest, and that gave Methuselah enough of an opening to drive his knee right into Bronson’s face. He followed up by spiking Bronson’s head on the hardest part of the ring with a DDT, and Methuselah pushed Bronson under the ropes, into the ring.)

Stew-O: Perhaps this is the momentum shift that Methuselah needed in order to get the match under his control. You called it, Flannery, when you said that Bronson came out extremely determined and looking to prove a point. So many people have shied away from confrontations with Methuselah, but Bronson hasn’t. He’s met him head-on since Grand Rampage and this match is the result of weeks of built-up anger and frustration.

(As true as the words Stew-O spoke were, there was so much more to this entire battle than just anger and frustration. As Bronson stirred and looked to push himself up, Methuselah rose to his full height and stared down at the other man.)

(The leering smile that crossed Methuselah’s face made the majority of the crowd cringe. They knew that look all too well, and so did Bronson. As he glanced up at his opponent, Bronson took a deep breath. A sharp, brutal kick connected with his nose and Bronson felt the blood start to run immediately. Another kick to the face caused him to hear a crunching sound, and it didn’t take a Rhodes Scholar to understand that Bronson’s nose was likely broken.)

(What happened next caused Bronson to black out for a second. Methuselah kicked him right in the temple, not caring whatsoever about whether or not he concussed one of the biggest stars in his own company. Bronson blinked, as he rolled onto his back, and Methuselah leapt in the air and landed flush across Bronson’s face with a knee. Despite his reluctance to show weakness, Bronson groaned. His nose was swelling and bleeding, and he knew that Methuselah was going to exploit the obvious injury.)

Methuselah: (off-mic) Pathetic.

(Methuselah, who remained on the mat beside Bronson, grabbed a handful of the other man’s hair and started peppering him with closed-fist punches to the face. Methuselah was a skilled warrior in all forms of combat, and when he struck you, it left a mark. He wanted to punish Bronson, not only for his insolence, but for the fact he made this more personal than it needed to be. Methuselah had returned to conduct business, but Bronson had crossed an unfathomable linel.)

Flannery McCoy: If this assault continues, this match is going to be hard to watch. The official seems reluctant to step in and stop Methuselah, and I don’t understand that. He wasn’t hesitant to reprimand Bronson when he was close to breaking the rules.

Jake Mercer: Well considering the man behind Methuselah is the one who signs his paychecks, can you really blame him?

(A few more seconds passed before Methuselah finally stopped battering Bronson’s face. Bronson’s left eye had started to swell and seemingly pleased with his handiwork, Methuselah jumped to his feet.)

Stew-O: Methuselah is back up now and he has Bronson by the hair. Irish whip into the corner sends Bronson’s back slamming into the turnbuckles and Methuselah sprints towards him. A brutal corner clothesline connects, and Methuselah sends Bronson across the ring into the opposite corner!

Flannery McCoy: Bronson’s head snaps back as another corner clothesline connects and Bronson drops to his knees. Methuselah pulls him out of the corner, towards the center of the ring, and he wraps him into a camel clutch.

Jake Mercer: Now someone tell me when the hell is the last time Methuselah pulled out a camel clutch??

Flannery McCoy: UGH! MAYBE THE LAST TIME HE BROKE SOMEONE’S NOSE?! HE IS STRAIGHT UP TORTURING BRONSON RIGHT NOW!

(That’s exactly what Methuselah was doing. With Bronson trapped in the camel clutch, Methuselah was able to grip Bronson’s shattered nose and started to jerk it back and forth. The referee shook his head and gave Methuselah a tired look, but to no one’s surprise, Methuselah just ignored it. He callously pulled Bronson’s nose up, then down; to the right, then the left. Bored, Methuselah let the hold go, but not before striking Bronson in the back of the head.)

(Bronson landed on his face and Methuselah placed his foot on the back of Bronson’s head. The crowd showered him with jeers as the Chairman posed for the fans and found satisfaction in their hatred of his actions.)

(As this went on, the camera cut to a split-screen angle which showed Tyrone Montgomery and Diamond Dixon watching from backstage. Diamond looked concerned with what she was seeing, but Tyrone remained stoic. The current General Manager of Friday Night Dynasty knew the type of mentality that Bronson Daniels had. It was going to take a lot more than the pain of a broken nose to keep Bronson Daniels down for good.)

(As the scene faded from Tyrone and Diamond, it switched to Kensingten Calhoun-Astor and Richard Grant. They were seated in a separate area from Tyrone and Diamond, for obvious reasons, and Kensingten was perched in Richard’s lap. The two were drinking champagne as they watched the monitor and even had the audacity to twine their arms around one another as they sipped their drinks. To say they were pleased with what they were currently seeing was an understatement.)

Flannery McCoy: I don’t like this. I don’t like this at all. Methuselah is just grinding Bronson’s face into the mat now!

Jake Mercer: Look, Bronson has never been my favorite person, and on some level he deserves this. He put himself directly in the path of Methuselah and Kassidy Heart’s gestational carrier! The woman is pregnant with their child!

Stew-O: I hate it when Mercer has a point, but he does. Bronson had to know that he was going to suffer in some capacity for what he did a couple of weeks ago. I have no doubt that he came into this match expecting the absolute worst of Methuselah.

(Methuselah removed his foot from the back of Bronson’s skull and to his credit, Bronson had the wherewithal to scramble towards the ropes. Methuselah let him get close before grabbing him by the leg and pulling him back. Bronson kicked with his free leg, but Methuselah grabbed that one as well, fell back onto the mat, and catapulted Bronson into the turnbuckles.)

(Bronson’s face hit all three turnbuckles on the way down, and Methuselah quickly grabbed him and pulled him back into the center of the ring. It appeared as if he were going to go for the first pinfall of the match, but instead, Methuselah pulled Bronson up, locked him in a front facelock, and drove him into the mat.)

Stew-O: More brutality, and something tells me that as methodical as Methuselah has been throughout his entire career, he is going to attempt to draw this match out.

Flannery McCoy: Wouldn’t that favor Bronson?

Jake Mercer: Have you even looked at Methuselah since he returned?! Dude is jacked, and he’s always had incredible stamina.

Stew-O: Well all I know is that Dynasty’s future rests solely on the shoulders of Bronson Daniels and he is getting destroyed right now. Methuselah tosses him into the corner again and a running big boot connects right on the jaw!

(With arrogance oozing from every pore, Methuselah took off jogging around the ring. He faked a face-wash style kick, before shaking his head, and stepping back a few paces. Lowering his head, he sprinted forward, looking for a running shoulder thrust right into Bronson’s abdomen.)

Flannery McCoy: BRONSON GOT THE FEET UP AND METHUSELAH IS MOMENTARILY STUNNED!

Jake Mercer: ONLY FOR A SECOND! HE’S MAKING A BEELINE RIGHT TOWARDS BRONSON BUT BRONSON JUMPS UP! METHUSELAH’S SHOULDER COLLIDES WITH THE RING POST, AND BRONSON WITH A SUNSET FLIP INTO A PIN!

Stew-O: NO! METHUSELAH ROLLS THROUGH AND BRONSON LOOKS FOR AN ARMBAR, BUT METHUSELAH KIPS TO HIS FEET AND GOES FOR A SPINNING HEEL KICK! BRONSON CATCHES HIM BY THE FOOT, SPINS HIM AROUND, AND SENDS METHUSELAH INTO THE ROPES!

Flannery McCoy: METHUSELAH HOOKS THE ARMS BUT BRONSON GOT HIS BEARINGS BACK AND HE CLOTHESLINE METHUSELAH OVER THE TOP ROPE, AND ONTO THE GROUND!

Stew-O: BRONSON DOESN’T WASTE ANY TIME GOING AFTER METHUSELAH, BUT METH SLIPS BACK INTO THE RING! HE RUNS FOR THE ROPES AND CATCHES BRONSON WITH A BASEBALL SLIDE AS BRONSON TRIED TO GET BACK IN THE RING!

Jake Mercer: METHUSELAH IS BACKING UP… I THINK I KNOW WHAT HE’S GOING TO DO!

Flannery McCoy: “VINTAGE” DEDEDE!!! THE OVER THE ROPE SOMERSA-

Stew-O: SUPERKICK!!!! BRONSON DANIELS CAUGHT METHUSELAH MID-AIR WITH A HUGE SUPERKICK!

(The pop that reverberated through the crowd after that superkick was deafening. The crowd was chanting for Bronson, who had fallen onto his backside after that. Methuselah was clutching at his face, after nearly having his jaw caved in, and Bronson heaved a sigh of relief.)

Stew-O: That superkick is EXACTLY what Bronson needed but now he has to get up and capitalize. Methuselah is already sitting back up.

Jake Mercer: Bronson must have heard you because he’s quick to head for Methuselah. He clips that left knee that he targeted back on Dynasty, and Methuselah doesn’t look too happy right now. Bronson’s got the hair and he slams Methuselah’s face off the Spanish announce table! Methuselah stumbles back and Bronson just chopped the shit out of him! Look at how red his chest is turning!

Flannery McCoy: Bronson skips the chop and slaps Methuselah right in the face! I’m not sure how smart that was, but Methuselah doesn’t seem impressed. He grabs Bronson by the neck with both hands but BRONSON JUST SPIT IN METHUSELAH’S FACE!

Stew-O: Methuselah drops Bronson and Bronson quickly grabs him up! Bronson has Methuselah in a Fireman’s Carry position, but Methuselah is fighting his way out of it! He’s beating Bronson in the head with his elbow and he manages to get free! Methuselah returns the slap, nearly knocking Bronson to the ground, and now Bronson retaliates with a jumping knee strike!

Jake Mercer: Bronson picks Methuselah up and there’s a Fireman’s Carry onto the Spanish announce table! Methuselah is sprawled out and Bronson runs for the ring! Bronson leaps onto the apron… ONTO THE ROPES… AND THERE’S A SPRINGBOARD SHOOTING STAR PRESS!

Flannery McCoy: BRONSON CRASHES ONTO METHUSELAH AND THE TABLE JUST BROKE IN HALF!

Stew-O: Bronson slides into the ring to break up the count, but now he’s back on the outside and pulling Methuselah out of the rubble. He whips him into the ringpost and lets Methuselah bounce right off of it back first. Methuselah stumbles forward and Bronson backs off!

Jake Mercer: Why is Bronson luring Methuselah towards him?

Flannery McCoy: ‘GODBREAKER’! THAT’S WHY! THE LEAPING CODEBREAKER CONNECTS AND THE BACK OF METHUSELAH’S HEAD JUST STRUCK THE CORNER OF THE RINGSTEP!

Stew-O: METHUSELAH IS BLEEDING AND BRONSON LOOKS BEYOND THRILLED! HE WRAPS HIS ARM AROUND METHUSELAH’S NECK AND STARTS PUNCHING HIM IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD! FAIR IS FAIR IN A MATCH LIKE THIS AND BRONSON HAS METHUSELAH BY THE THROAT! BRONSON SLAMS THE BACK OF METHUSELAH’S HEAD ON THE STEPS AGAIN AND NOW HE IS ROLLING INTO THE RING TO BREAK THE COUNT UP AGAIN!

Jake Mercer: BRONSON IS GOING UP TOP…

Flannery McCoy: HIGH RISK… HIGH REWARD, OR SO HE HOPES! BRONSON LOOKS DOWN AT METHUSELAH WHO’S CLUTCHING THE BACK OF HIS BLEEDING HEAD AND HE DIVES OFF THE TURNBUCKLES!

Stew-O: DOUBLE FOOT STOMP! METHUSELAH’S HEAD BOUNCES OFF THE GROUND AND BRONSON SCOOPS HIM UP! HE DROPS METHUSELAH FACE FIRST INTO THE APRON AND KICKS HIM IN THE BACK! BRONSON WHIRLS AROUND AND SMASHES METHUSELAH’S SKULL IN WITH A HUGE FOREARM! HE’S GOT THE HAIR AND HE RAMS METHUSELAH INTO THE RINGPOST!

Jake Mercer: NOW HE’S RUNNING WITH METHUSELAH AND SLAMS HIM INTO THE NEXT RINGPOST!

Flannery McCoy: METHUSELAH’S FACE GREETS THE THIRD RINGPOST AND BRONSON PANDERS TO THE CROWD WHO URGE HIM TO CONTINUE!

Stew-O: HE DOESN’T LET THEM DOWN AS HE THROWS METHUSELAH INTO THE FOURTH AND FINAL RINGPOST AND HE’S ROLLING METHUSELAH’S LIMP BODY INTO THE RING!

Flannery McCoy: BRONSON GOES FOR THE COVER!!!

Referee: OOONNNEEE!!!

Jake Mercer: ALL THAT FOR A KICK OUT AT ONE! :mjlol:

(It was a kick out at one, but Bronson wasn’t surprised. He grinned in spite of that. He had prepared himself to go the distance because that’s what one had to do when facing someone of Methuselah’s caliber.)

Stew-O: Bronson seems content to toy with Methuselah right now and he wraps him in a headlock. He cinches it in pretty tightly, and Methuselah looks to break it. Bronson hangs on but he stands up, attempting to keep Methuselah grounded, however Meth elbows Bronson in the gut, which allows him to flip Bronson down into a seated position.

Flannery McCoy: The headlock is released and Methuselah jumps over Bronson and hits the ropes! He rebounds back, looking for a spear, but Bronson leapfrogs over him! Methuselah puts the brakes on before he flies out of the ring, turns around… and ducks a huge lariat attempt by Bronson!

Jake Mercer: Methuselah grabs Bronson by the waist and throws him over head with a German suplex!

Stew-O: BRONSON LANDS ON HIS FEET! Methuselah looks surprised and darts forward, but Bronson greets him with a forearm smash! He hits Methuselah with an armdrag, forcing him to the mat, and he’s got Methuselah’s left leg! SINGLE LEG BOSTON CRAB!

Flannery McCoy: NICE! Bronson has that submission cinched in, and Methuselah is reaching for the ropes. Despite the impressive reach he has, Methuselah isn’t able to break the hold. Bronson twists the ankle, waiting to do more damage, and Methuselah is biting down on his fist to keep from crying out.

(Methuselah’s old injury is one of the many things that constantly nagged at him. With more than two decades in the business, the wear and tear on his body was evident. Many a night saw Methuselah roaming the halls of his own home, unable to sleep, due to injuries that either never healed, or never healed properly. He lived his life in a constant state of pain. It was love for the game that kept him going, as well as his desire to continue competing.)

(Perhaps every wrestler was kept awake at night due to their choice of lifestyle. They all paid a heavy price for the glitz, the glamor, and the pursuit of gold that only a select few were able to conquer. Methuselah knew his left knee was at risk of being torn apart, but the word ‘quit’ didn’t exist in his vocabulary.)

(Bronson gulped as Methuselah raised himself up and reached for the ropes. He continued putting pressure on the knee, making sure it was bent at a very awkward angle. He worked the left ankle, twisting it in the opposite direction, not caring at all if he snapped it in the process. However, Methuselah’s tolerance for pain was enviable. He was somehow fighting through it and forcing his way to the ropes.)

(Bronson readjusted his grip on the hold, switching to an ankle lock, knowing he could do some serious damage if he fell back on the mat. However, making that decision gave Methuselah the slightest opening. He had felt Bronson’s hands loosen the hold, and he was able to kick out.)

(Methuselah dove for the ropes and curled his body around the bottom one. Bronson swore and grabbed for him, but the referee stepped in. Frustration was written all over Bronson’s face because he knew he’d let a wonderful opportunity to injure Methuselah and end the match slip through his fingers, and now the referee was trying to prevent him from continuing.)

Flannery McCoy: :lupe: Bronson needs to be careful as he argues with the referee. The last thing he wants is to get disqualified.

Jake Mercer: If he does, that’s the ballgame. Dynasty would have new management.

(Bronson, of course, was aware of this and raked an angry hand down his face. There wasn’t a lot he could do at the moment because Methuselah was still clinging to the ropes. He had the nerve to smile at Bronson as the referee forced him to back up, and once there was space between them, only then did Methuselah stand up. He was on the apron of the ring, with one foot over the bottom rope, showing that he was inside. It was clever, because technically he was still safe from an attack that way.)

Bronson Daniels: (off-mic) Fuck it.

Stew-O: BRONSON DANIELS JUST SLAMMED INTO METHUSELAH AND SENDS HIM FLYING OFF THE APRON! I DON’T THINK METH EXPECTED THAT AT ALL EVEN THOUGH HE WAS TAUNTING BRONSON! THE CROWD IS GOING CRAZY SEEING THEIR HERO REFUSE TO GIVE IN TO METHUSELAH’S TRICKS AND BRONSON LOOKS LIKE HE HAS SOMETHING ELSE IN MIND!

Flannery McCoy: THAT HE DOES! BRONSON LAUNCHES HIMSELF OVER THE TOP ROPE AND LANDS A BACK PLANCHA ON METHUSELAH! BOTH OF THEM ARE ON THE GROUND AND THIS MATCH HAS BROKEN DOWN! THEY’RE TANGLED UP, THROWING HANDS, AND ROLLING AROUND ON THE GROUND!

Jake Mercer: METHUSELAH MANAGES TO EXTRACT HIMSELF AND SNATCHES BRONSON UP BY THE ARM! HE WHIPS HIM INTO THE BARRICADES BUT BRONSON PUSHES HIMSELF OFF! HE TAKES OFF RUNNING! METHUSELAH TAKES OFF RUNNING!!! BOTH MEN ARE MAKING A BEELINE RIGHT TOWARDS ONE ANOTHER!!!

Stew-O: SPEAR! SPEAR! SPEAR!

Flannery McCoy: METHUSELAH JUST FOLDED BRONSON IN HALF WITH AN ABSOLUTELY DEVASTATING SPEAR!

(Methuselah sat back and watched as Bronson clutched his abdomen and curled into the fetal position. He knew that he had stopped Bronson right in his tracks, and it had been necessary. Bronson had been gaining more and more momentum, and Methuselah didn’t want to leave the ring later on with a career altering injury. He got to his feet, took a deep breath, and got Bronson back in the ring.)

(Even though Bronson was still hurt from the Spear, Methuselah didn’t go for the cover. It would be pointless because Bronson was still conscious. To win a match like this, Methuselah knew he would have to incapacitate his opponent and completely destroy Bronson’s ability to continue.)

(Luckily, or unlucky if you were Bronson Daniels, Methuselah was up for that challenge.)

Jake Mercer: :lupe: The look that just came across Methuselah’s face is one that is completely devoid of all emotion. It makes me a little sick to admit this, but Bronson is one of this company’s biggest stars. And I’ll be honest, guys. Methuselah doesn’t seem to care about that.

(Jake Mercer was right. Methuselah didn’t care because in his mind, everyone was replaceable. Another Bronson Daniels would come along eventually, and no one would remember that this particular one existed. The fans were fickle like that; flocking to the newest, latest, and what they perceived to be the greatest model. It’s what drove sales and kept people coming back again and again, and Methuselah, of course, knew that. He had built his entire empire off the Elitists he employed and the wishy-washy fanbase.)

(Methuselah walked over to the corner and started to untie the turnbuckle padding. This brought the referee rushing over, and despite his reluctance, he did tell Methuselah to stop. Meth snarled at him and looked over his shoulder. Bronson had managed to get to all fours and was trying to collect himself. Methuselah pawed at the turnbuckle padding again, loosening the strings, and the referee grabbed his arm. Methuselah rolled his eyes and turned away, and the referee quickly went to work, retying the padding.)

Flannery McCoy: OH COME ON! Methuselah just kicked Bronson right between the legs and the referee didn’t see it!

Jake Mercer: Well he had his back turned, Flannery. People aren’t born with eyes in the back of their heads!

Flannery McCoy: The only reason he wasn’t watching is because Methuselah was trying to expose the turnbuckles! He’s playing dirty, and that’s not right.

Jake Mercer: The fact you’re shocked about this is wild to me. There’s a lot at stake tonight. These two were never going to have a clean, competitive match! Shit is personal with them, Flannery, and neither have been shy about admitting that.

(Methuselah made sure the referee was still occupied before he kicked Bronson between the legs a second time. The audience was letting Methuselah have it, because obviously they weren’t happy with what they were watching. Methuselah smirked, enjoying the jeers, and he raised his middle finger in the air.)

Stew-O: Well, that’s that.

Flannery McCoy: Annoying as hell.

(The camera cut backstage and this time, Tyrone didn’t look so stoic. His expression matched Diamond’s worried one. Neither one was doubting Bronson, obviously, but if he were to win, he was going to have to stage one hell of a comeback.)

(On the other side, Kensingten and Richard continued to sip champagne and look pleased. As far as they were concerned, Methuselah had this match in the bag.)

(It was easy to see that Methuselah was enjoying the fact he could toy with the crowd like this. They were on their feet, yelling obscenities at him, and making their feelings quite clear. The funny thing was, at least in Methuselah’s mind, is that he had not yet started to break Bronson down.)

(Methuselah rolled out of the ring and grabbed Bronson’s right leg. He pulled him towards the corner before grabbing the left leg, and he pulled Bronson into the ringpost, causing more damage to the groin area. Methuselah grabbed the right leg again, slammed it into the ringpost, then did the same exact thing with the left leg. He followed it up with a ringpost figure-four leglock that had the referee counting to five.)

(Methuselah released it, but he continued his onslaught. He slammed both legs into the ringpost once again and pulled out another figure-four wrapped around the ringpost. The referee shook his head and started the count, and right before five, Methuselah released it. He went to the timekeeper’s area, where he grabbed a chair, and that brought the referee out of the ring. The referee grabbed the chair, and when he went to give it back to the timekeeper, Methuselah pulled a small chain from his boot and started choking Bronson.)

(As soon as the referee was done with the chair and turned back around, Methuselah dropped the chain and kicked it under the ring.)

Flannery McCoy: This is ridiculous. We need a second official out here.

(The disgust in Flannery’s voice no doubt echoed the reactions the fans were having to this match.)

(Methuselah got back in the ring and he placed Bronson throat first across the bottom rope. He stepped in the middle of the other man’s back and used the ropes to choke him. Methuselah released the choke at a count of four, but after stepping back for just a second, he used the ropes to choke Bronson again. This continued on for several more seconds before Methuselah pulled Bronson up and hit him with a brutal European style upper-cut.)

(Bronson was thrown to the ground after that and Methuselah locked him in a triangle choke. To his credit, Bronson did not panic. He used his foot to search for the ropes but they were out of reach. Methuselah was skilled with submissions, considering he had taught his wife the very art of that style of combat, and Bronson had spent a good portion of his time studying both of them in the ring.)

(He was prepared.)

(Methuselah had not fully trapped the arm, and Bronson was able to use it to put pressure down on Methuselah’s hip. He used his knees to posture up and out, kept his arm protected, and slipped out of the choke. He dove on top of Methuselah, but Methuselah rolled out of the way. Bronson’s forearm smashed into the mat, and Methuselah pounced. He grabbed the arm, rolled to his back, and hyper-extended Bronson’s arm.)

(Bronson bared his teeth and tried to combat the pain of the armbar. He did not want his arm broken. He planted his feet and tried to flip himself over, but Methuselah released the submission, rolled to the side, and wrapped him in a body scissors. Methuselah’s arms went around Bronson’s neck, and Bronson’s eyes quickly took in his surroundings. The ropes were not that far, but Methuselah had the size advantage on him.)

(Bronson had to try. He had no other choice.)

(Bronson forced himself up and attempted to crawl to the ropes. Methuselah’s arms tightened around his throat, and Bronson felt his air supply in danger of getting cut off. He extended his arm as far as he could, but the rope was still inches away. Bronson closed his eyes, thought about all the people who were counting on him, and he managed to move himself forward. His hand reached out, but all he could grab was air. He was not close enough and with every move he made, Methuselah got closer to putting Bronson to sleep.)

(The noise of the crowd was loud, but the sound was fading for Bronson. He was tired and with all of Methuselah’s weight on his back, he almost felt defeated. To make it worse, Methuselah moved his own hand up and snatched Bronson’s damaged nose between his fingers. The jolt of pain that traveled through Bronson’s body as Methuselah yanked the broken bone caused Bronson to gasp.)

(It also woke him up and reminded him that now was not the time to quit.)

Bronson Daniels: (off-mic) Come on… come on…

(His voice was a whisper, but it had caught Methuselah’s attention. Methuselah seemingly felt the energy return to Bronson and he tried like Hell to choke the former World Heavyweight Champion out. Much to his shock, a shaking Bronson Daniels somehow managed to rise up to his feet. He was on spaghetti legs, but he had gotten up. Methuselah was wrapped around his back and as the crowd grew louder, it was almost as if Bronson got stronger. He was able to stand up, at his full height, and with one last bit of effort, he rammed Methuselah back into the corner.)

Jake Mercer: Bronson might have just saved his own life, but at what cost? He’s down on his knees right now, desperately trying to get the air back into his lungs.

Stew-O: Methuselah had him wrapped up in that sleeper for quite some time, but it was almost like the crowd brought him back to life.

Flannery McCoy: METHUSELAH FROM BEHIND! HE’S GOT BRONSON BY THE WAIST! BRONSON WITH AN ELBOW, BUT METHUSELAH IS LOOKING FOR A GERMAN SUPLEX! BRONSON WITH DESPERATION ELBOWS THAT ABSOLUTELY PUMMEL METHUSELAH AND ALLOW BRONSON TO BREAK FREE!

Stew-O: BRONSON PUTS SOME SPACE BETWEEN THEM BUT IT DOESN’T LIKE HE WANTS METHUSELAH TO REGAIN CONTROL! BRONSON TURNS AROUND AND THERE’S ‘CELESTIAL WHIRLWIND’! THE DOUBLE BACK HANDSPRING INTO THE PELE CONNECTS AND METHUSELAH IS STAGGERING!

Jake Mercer: BRONSON SPRINTS AROUND THE RING AND COMES BACK AT METHUSELAH WITH THE ‘BATMAN PUNCH’!!! METHUSELAH IS DOWN! METHUSELAH IS DOWN!

Flannery McCoy: YES! YES! YES! BRONSON IS GOING TO DO IT! HE IS GOING TO WIN THE MATCH! HE’S GOING UP TOP AND HE IS GOING TO TAKE THE ‘LEAP OF FAITH’!!!!

Stew-O: SPIRAL TAP!

Jake Mercer: KNEES TO THE BACK! METHUSELAH GOT HIS KNEES UP AND BRONSON CRASHED RIGHT INTO THEM!

Flannery McCoy: THAT’S THE WORST POSSIBLE THING THAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED!!! BRONSON IS GRIPPING HIS LOWER BACK AS METHUSELAH HAS ROLLED TO THE ROPES! METHUSELAH USES THEM TO PULL HIMSELF UP AND HE MOTIONS FOR BRONSON TO GET UP!!!

Jake Mercer: METHUSELAH IS LOOKING FOR THE SPEAR AND BRONSON IS BACK UP TOO! THIS MAY BE IT!!! THIS MAY PUT AN END TO TYRONE MONTGOMERY’S DYNASTY!!!

(Even though Bronson was consumed by pain, he knew that he had to turn around. The crowd had gone quiet which meant only one thing and it was that Methuselah was recovered and he was waiting.)

(The heart of Dynasty turned around and he looked into the eyes of the Devil himself. Methuselah resembled a mad man and Bronson couldn’t help. He dropped his head. Methuselah stepped back and then took off like a freight train.)

(Bronson closed his eyes.)

Stew-O: THE SPEAR! METHUSELAH HITS THE SPEAR!!!

Jake Mercer: BRONSON DANIELS IS FOLDED IN HALF LIKE AN ACCORDIAN!!!

Flannery McCoy: METHUSELAH FALLS ON TOP OF BRONSON FOR THE COVER!!!

OOONNNEEE!!!

TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!

TTTTTHHHHHRRRRR-

Stew-O: KICKOUT! KICKOUT! BRONSON KICKED OUT!!

(The look on Methuselah’s face was not a happy one.)

Jake Mercer: I DON’T THINK METHUSELAH SHARES THE SAME ENTHUSIASM AS THE CROWD DOES OVER THE FACT BRONSON IS STILL ALIVE IN THIS MATCH!

Flannery McCoy: METHUSELAH JUST JERKED BRONSON UP BY THE HAIR AND HE SENDS HIM INTO THE ROPES!!!

Stew-O: SPEAR!!! THERE’S A SECOND SPEAR!!! METHUSELAH GOES FOR THE COVER AGAIN!!!

OOONNNEEE!!!

TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!

TTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEE!!!!!

Flannery McCoy: BRONSON. KICKED. OUT!

Jake Mercer: HOW?? HOW DID HE JUST KICK OUT OF A SECOND SPEAR???

Stew-O: It’s simple, Jake. Bronson knows that he has no other choice but to win this match and he is digging deep. You can’t help but respect that.

(As true as Stew-O’s words were, they were not echoed by Methuselah. In fact, he looked downright disgusted that Bronson would have the audacity to kick out once again.)

(Methuselah took a moment to compose himself because he did not want his anger to get the better of him. He took a couple of deep breaths and then rose to his feet. He looked down at his opponent and just shook his head. He didn’t see anything noble about Bronson’s refusal to give in and he wanted him to suffer for that.)

Flannery McCoy: I don’t like the look on Methuselah’s face. I don’t like it at all…

Jake Mercer: Oh he’s definitely got some ill-intent for Bronson.

(Sure enough, after he returned to his feet, Methuselah stepped back and sank to his haunches. If Bronson refused to go down after not one, but two spears, then the third time was surely going to be the charm.)

Stew-O: I’m not even sure if Bronson knows what’s going on right now. He’s trying to get up, and you can see it in his eyes that he wants to continue with this match. He wants to keep fighting. He wants to do whatever he can to stay alive.

Flannery McCoy: METHUSELAH SPRINTS TOWARDS BRONSON!!! BRONSON HAS NO IDEA!! HE’S ABOUT TO EAT A THIRD SPEAR!!

(Bronson turned around at the last possible second, his eyes widening.)

Jake Mercer: BRONSON JUST LEAPT OVER METHUSELAH AND METHUSELAH CRASHES INTO THE RING POST!!!

Stew-O: BRONSON TAKES ADVANTAGE OF THE SITUATION AND ROLLS METHUSELAH UP FROM BEHIND!!!

OOONNNEEE!!!

TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!

TTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

Flannery McCoy: NO! NO! NO! DAMMIT!!

Jake Mercer: METHUSELAH MANAGED TO KICK OUT AND KEEP THIS MATCH ALIVE!!!

Stew-O: BRONSON SCOOPS METHUSELAH UP, TURNS HIM AROUND, AND TOSSED HIM INTO THE CORNER WITH A RELEASE GERMAN SUPLEX! HE HEADS TO THE OPPOSITE CORNER AND NOW HE’S LOOKING TO UNTIE THE TURNBUCKLE PADDING!!

Flannery McCoy: BRONSON IS ABOUT TO PULL THE PADDING OFF BUT THERE’S THE REFEREE! HE’S SCOLDING BRONSON, WHO FINALLY WALKS AWAY, AND NOW HE’S FIXING THE PADDING! BRONSON GRINS AND HE JUST KICKED METHUSELAH RIGHT BETWEEN THE LEGS!!! PAYBACK FOR EARLIER!! I LOVE IT!

Jake Mercer: I’ll give credit where it’s due. Methuselah deserved that for all the tricks he was pulling out of his bag earlier.

Stew-O: BRONSON HAS METHUSELAH UP AGAIN AND HE HANGS HIM FROM THE CORNER IN A TREE OF WOE POSITION! BRONSON RUNS AROUND THE RING AND NAILS METHUSELAH IN THE TEMPLE WITH A SLIDING DROPKICK!

Flannery McCoy: METHUSELAH REMAINS HANGING IN THE CORNER AND HE TAKES OFF AGAIN!! THIS TIME THE SLIDING DROPKICK CONNECTS ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF METHUSELAH’S SKULL!!!

Jake Mercer: BRONSON SLIDES OUT OF THE RING AND HE GRABS METHUSELAH’S NECK!! BRONSON IS PULLING BACK ON METHUSELAH’S HEAD, FORCING IT INTO THE RINGPOST, WHILE HE’S HANGIN!!!

Stew-O: THE REFEREE IMMEDIATELY PUTS A STOP TO THIS BY STARTING THE COUNT, AND TO HIS CREDIT, BRONSON RELEASES THE CHOKE!!!

Flannery McCoy: HE’S NOT DONE WITH METHUSELAH THOUGH! HE’S GOT METHUSELAH BY THE HAIR AND BRONSON STARTS SLAMMING THE BACK OF METHUSELAH’S HEAD INTO THE RINGPOST!!!

Jake Mercer: METHUSELAH IS BLEEDING FROM THE BACK OF HIS HEAD AGAIN AND THE LAST BLOW IS SO HARD IT CAUSES METHUSELAH TO COLLAPSE TO THE GROUND!

(The camera shot split into two screens and when Tyrone and Diamond were captured this time, both looked extremely relieved.)

(In retrospect, when the screen split into thirds, Kensingten and Richard were not longer seen sipping champagne. In fact, neither one of them were seen at all.)

Flannery McCoy: Now hold on, where the hell are Kensingten and Richard?

(That is when the crowd started to jeer. The camera cut to Richard Grant as he hopped over the barricades.)

Stew-O: RICHARD GRANT JUST SLAMMED INTO BRONSON’S BACK AND NOW BRONSON HAS HIM BY THE THROAT!! RICHARD IS PLEADING WITH BRONSON TO LET HIM GO BUT THIS CROWD DEFINITELY WANTS TO SEE BRONSON BEAT THE SNOT OUT OF RICHARD!

Flannery McCoy: BRONSON LIFTS RICHARD UP BY THE THROAT BUT THERE’S KENSINGTEN!!! KENSINGTEN HOPS ON BRONSON’S BACK AND STARTS TO CHOKE HIM!!!

Jake Mercer: DIAMOND AND TYRONE ARE FLYING DOWN THE RAMP RIGHT NOW AS THE REFEREE YANKS KENSINGTEN OFF OF BRONSON!!! RICHARD GRANT IS SCREAMING AT THE REFEREE FOR TOUCHING KENSINGTEN, AND DIAMOND DIXON JUST KNOCKED KENSINGTEN SILLY WITH A BIG BOOT!!!

Stew-O: TYRONE WITH A SHOULDER TACKLE INTO RICHARD AND HE FORCES HIM INTO THE BARRICADES!! TYRONE IS WHIPPING RICHARD’S ASS ONCE AGAIN AND THE REFEREE IS BESIDE HIMSELF!

Flannery McCoy: HE’S CALLING FOR BACKUP TO GET THESE FOUR SEPARATED BECAUSE KENSINGTEN JUST MANAGED TO THROW DIAMOND INTO THE RING STEPS!

(It was at that moment that a team of officials had come charging down to the ring, looking to help get everyone separated.)

(Bronson used the chaos to look under the ring and he found the chain that Methuselah had used on him earlier.)

Jake Mercer: BRONSON HAS A CHAIN!! HE’S ABOUT TO OFFICIALLY ENTER HIS PAYBACK ERA!!!

Stew-O: BRONSON WRAPS THE CHAIN AROUND METHUSELAH’S NECK AND HE’S NOT ABOUT TO LET GO! BRONSON WANTS TO FINISH THIS THING OFF AND HE WANTS TO DO IT RIGHT NOW!

Flannery McCoy: METHUSELAH IS GRABBING AT THE CHAIN BUT IT’S NO USE! BRONSON SQUEEZES TIGHTER AND METHUSELAH’S FACE IS TURNING PURPLE!!! METHUSELAH IS KICKING AND FLAILING, BUT HE’S ALSO FADING! HIS EYES ARE CLOSED AND NOW HIS ARMS ARE FALLING LIMPLY DOWN AT HIS SIDES.

Jake Mercer: I THINK THE CHAIRMAN IS COMPLETELY OUT! HOLY SMOKES! I THINK BRONSON DANIELS MIGHT HAVE WON THIS!

(With Methuselah now on the mat, Bronson tossed the chain out of the ring. The officials, who had managed to get Richard and Kensingten to one side of the ring, and Tyrone and Diamond to the other, have gotten things calmed down. The referee in charge of the match looked into the ring and saw that Bronson was covering Methuselah.)

(He quickly dove into the ring and started the count.)

Stew-O: THAT’S IT! BRONSON’S GOING TO DO IT! HE’S GOING TO KEEP DYNASTY IN TYRONE’S HANDS!

OOONNNEEE!!!

TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!

TTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

Flannery McCoy: HE DID IT! BRONSON DANIELS JUST PINNED METHUSELAH!!

Jake Mercer: So why is the referee not calling for the bell??

(Bronson knew why and that’s exactly why he was not on his feet celebrating the win.)

(The camera cut to a dramatic shot of Methuselah’s left foot, right underneath the bottom of the ropes.)

(Bronson had not paid attention to the ring positioning.)

(His face was crestfallen, to say the very least and the crowd was obviously disappointed. Bronson glanced out at the sold-out crowd, many of them there just to see him try and score one of the biggest wins of his career. He knew that there was still a chance. He knew that this wasn’t over.)

Stew-O: BRONSON HAS REALIZED THE ERROR AND HE’S HOOKED THE LEFT LEG! THERE’S NO FOOT UNDER THE ROPE THIS TIME!!!

OOONNNEEE!!!

Jake Mercer: METHUSELAH JUST KICKED OUT AT ONE!!!!!

Flannery McCoy: How? HOW??

(Bronson was stunned and he sat back.)

(Methuselah looked up and he had a maniacal grin on his face.)

(Bronson and Methuselah locked eyes and that’s when Methuselah dragged his thumb across his throat.)

(Bronson narrowed his eyes and took a deep breath.)

Methuselah: (off-mic) Stand up.

(Bronson hesitated but Methuselah was patient. Finally, Bronson stood up and Methuselah followed suit.)

(They stood, both men, in the middle of the ring. At this point of the match they were both bloodied and beaten up, and both of them looked worse for wear. As their staredown commenced, the crowd grew louder, but then Methuselah told them to quiet down.)

(In spite of themselves, the crowd did actually quiet down. Methuselah’s lips twisted into a smirk, relishing the fact he could still control a crowd with such ease. He turned his back towards Bronson.)

Methuselah: (off-mic) That’s power.

(Bronson knew better than to reply. Methuselah was attempting to get inside his head, but he wasn’t going to allow that to happen.)

(A few seconds passed, and then Methuselah brought his hand across Bronson’s face. The slap was so abrupt and had so much force behind it, that Bronson was nearly knocked from his feet.)

(To his credit, Bronson remained standing.)

Methuselah: (off-mic) Pathetic.

(Methuselah went to slap Bronson again, but Bronson was not going to let his adversary make a mockery of him. Bronson caught Methuselah’s hand and the crowd gasped.)

Bronson Daniels: (off-mic) Fuck you, Ryan.

Stew-O: BRONSON JUST SPIT IN METHUSELAH’S FACE AND SENDS HIM BACK INTO THE ROPES WITH A MASSIVE HEADBUTT!

Flannery McCoy: THE FORCE OF THE BLOW SPLIT BOTH MEN OPEN BUT IT’S BRONSON WHO’S THE AGGRESSOR! CHOP AFTER CHOP CONNECTS WITH METHUSELAH’S CHEST AND BRONSON LOOKS TO SEND METHUSELAH ACROSS THE RING!

Jake Mercer: METHUSELAH PLANTS HIS FEET, SNATCHES BRONSON’S ARM AND BRINGS HIM DOWN WITH A CLOTHESLINE!

Stew-O: BRONSON TRIES TO SIT UP BUT METHUSELAH STOMPS HIM IN THE FACE, SCOOPS HIM UP, AND THERE’S THE ‘EGO DEATH DRIVER’!!!

Flannery McCoy: SOMETIMES METH FOLLOWS UP THAT SIT-OUT VERTICAL SUPLEX BUT NOT THIS TIME! HE GRABS BRONSON UP AND HOOKS HIM FOR THE ‘BUTTERFLY EFFECT’!!!

Jake Mercer: THE BUTTERFLY SUPLEX BACKBREAKER CONNECTS BUT METHUSELAH DOESN’T GO FOR THE COVER!!!

Stew-O: HE DROPS TO THE MAT AND PLACES BRONSON IN THE ‘INFINITI LOCK’!!! THE OMOPLATA SHOULDER LOCK HAS BRONSON SCREAMING!!!

Flannery McCoy: I THINK BRONSON MIGHT HAVE TOO MUCH PRIDE TO TAP OUT BUT METHUSELAH IS PERFECTLY CAPABLE OF RIPPING HIS SHOULDER RIGHT OUT OF THE SOCKET!

Jake Mercer: BRONSON IS TRYING TO REACH FOR THE ROPES BUT LOOK AT METHUSELAH!!! HE RELEASED THE SHOULDER LOCK AND IS NOW APPLYING AN ARMBAR!!!

Stew-O: BRONSON IS IN SERIOUS TROUBLE, ESPECIALLY AT THIS STAGE OF THE MATCH! THERE REALLY ISN’T ANYWHERE FOR HIM TO GO! HE’S TRYING TO REACH ACROSS WITH HIS FREE ARM TO GRAB AT METHUSELAH, BUT METHUSELAH RELEASES THE ARMBAR, FLIPS BRONSON OVER, AND GOES FOR A CROSSFACE!!!

Flannery McCoy: METHUSELAH IS USING ONE OF HIS HANDS TO MANIPULATE BRONSON’S BROKEN NOSE WHILE WRENCHING BACK ON THE NECK! BRONSON IS CRYING OUT IN PAIN BUT HE STILL REFUSES TO GIVE IN! THE LOOK OF TREPIDATION ON DIAMOND DIXON’S FACE SAYS IT ALL! SHE KNOWS THAT BRONSON IS RISKING SERIOUS INJURY RIGHT NOW!

(Diamond banged on the apron, willing Bronson to stay in the match and continue to fight. She knew the situation was dire at the moment, but she also knew the type of competitor that Bronson was. He wasn’t the type that would give in, unless he absolutely had too, and that time wasn’t right now.)

(Diamond glanced over her shoulder and saw that Tyrone had his back turned to the ring. He didn’t want to watch Methuselah systematically break Bronson down and reduce him to nothing.)

Jake Mercer: THE CROSSFACE IS FINALLY RELEASED, BUT METHUSELAH DOESN’T GIVE BRONSON ANY SORT OF REPRIEVE! HE’S GOING TO WORK ON THE LEGS NOW AND HE’S GOT BRONSON’S LEFT LEG LOCKED IN A CALF CRUSHER! BRONSON IS BITING DOWN ON HIS FIST TO KEEP FROM SCREAMING, AND HE’S GRIPPING AT THE MAT WITH HIS OTHER HAND! THE SHEER HELL THAT BRONSON HAS BEEN PUT THROUGH IN THE LAST FIVE OR SO MINUTES HAS GOT TO BE TAKING ITS TOLL!

Stew-O: METHUSELAH RELEASES THE LEFT LEG AND NOW HE’S GOT THE RIGHT LEG! HE LOCKS THE CALF CRUSHER IN ONCE AGAIN, AND BRONSON LOOKS LIKE A DEFEATED MAN RIGHT NOW! I DON’T KNOW HOW MUCH MORE HE’S GOING TO BE ABLE TO TAKE, BUT SOMETHING’S GOTTA GIVE! THIS IS BECOMING HARD TO WATCH!

Flannery McCoy: (muttering) This isn’t just hard to watch. This is painful to watch…

(Methuselah was in his element at the moment. He had full control of the match and knew that his opponent was far too stubborn to give up at the moment. It would only be a matter of time, at least that was Methuselah’s thought process, before he had completely and utterly broken the body, and most importantly, the spirit of Bronson Daniels.)

Jake Mercer: METHUSELAH FINALLY LETS GO OF THE CALF CRUSHER! Is it just me, or does it seem like he is standing back and admiring his handiwork?

Flannery McCoy: That sonofabitch is definitely pleased with what he’s done! He’s essentially weakened all four of Bronson’s limbs with those brutal submission holds. I don’t know how Bronson recovers. I truly don’t.

(Bronson was in shambles. He was clutching at his arm and trying to stand, but his legs weren’t working at the moment. He collapsed to his knees and took several deep breaths, wondering how things had gotten out of hand so quickly. He knew that if he could make it to the ropes, he could pull himself out of the ring, but Methuselah was breathing down his neck, literally. Bronson tensed up as Methuselah raked him across the back and then stomped down on his head. Even from his position on the mat, Bronson still reached his hand out, looking for the ropes.)

(Methuselah stomped down on Bronson’s hand, then grinded his boot into Bronson’s fingers.)

(A sigh escaped Bronson’s lips as he instinctively brought his damaged hand to his chest. Before he could react, he felt his hair being pulled and his feet found themselves planted into the mat. Methuselah contorted Bronson’s body until he was able to wrap himself around him, cinching in a brutal looking octopus hold! Methuselah laughed maniacally as he extended Bronson’s arms out and tightened his legs around his opponent.)

(On the outside of the ring, Kensingten reached for Richard’s hand. They both felt that the end was near. Kensingten was ready to celebrate, as soon as she heard the words ‘I quit’ fall from Bronson’s lips, but Richard was a little more hesitant. He had the good sense to know that it would be a cold day in Hell before Bronson verbally quit, but he was still certain that victory was coming their way.)

(Just to toy with Bronson, Methuselah hyper-extended the arm to the point where he was able to sink his canines into Bronson’s battered fingers.)

Stew-O: (mumbling) I guess cannibalism runs in the family.

Flannery McCoy: Tyrone and Diamond may want to step in and stop this match. I know both of them want to remain in control of Friday Night Dynasty, but I don’t believe they want to win at the expense of Bronson’s career.

(After a while, Methuselah decided to relent. He released the hold, doing so in a way that had Bronson dropping to the mat in a slow, yet graceful motion. The Chairman chuckled at this, as the crowd in Camping World Stadium was reduced to a hush murmur.)

Jake Mercer: Well, if it’s any consolation, Bronson has found it within him to roll out of the ring, but I don’t know if that makes things any better…

Stew-O: No, it doesn’t… Methuselah is running to the ropes and back… BEFORE LEAPING OVER FOR ‘“VINTAGE” DEDEDE!’

(…)

Flannery McCoy: BRONSON MOVES OUT OF THE WAY!

(In a split second, Bronson reared his head to see a flying Methuselah, barely able to get out of the way. That allowed the crowd to come alive. Suddenly, after all of that, it seemed like hope had been injected into them when they felt like there wasn’t.)

Jake Mercer: AND BRONSON WASTES NO TIME, HE LUNGES AT METHUSELAH WHILE HE TRIES TO GET UP AND BEGINS TO DRIVE FISTS INTO HIS FACE! BLOOD IS FLYING EVERYWHERE AS THE CHAIRMAN BRINGS UP HIS FOREARMS, TRYING TO BLOCK THIS ASSAULT AS MUCH AS HE CAN!

Stew-O: BRONSON SEIZES HIS HEAD AND BRINGS HIM UP… BEFORE SENDING HIM FULL FORCE INTO THE BARRICADE! METHUSELAH FALLS LIKE A SACK OF BRICKS, AND BRONSON GRABS HIM AGAIN… BEFORE THROWING HIM AGAINST IT ONE MORE TIME FOR GOOD MEASURE!

(Bronson, reduced to animalistic tendencies, was like a man possessed. Meanwhile, Methuselah was scratching at the ringmat, trying to drag himself away from the action. He expected this turnaround, but how he was going to get this match back in his favor was more on the spot than he wanted it to be.)

Flannery McCoy: Methuselah is trying to create a gap between the two, but Bronson already has him by the head as he drags him back up… BEFORE SENDING HIM FACE-FIRST INTO THE RING POST!

Jake Mercer: BUT METHUSELAH PROPS HIS LEG OUT TO STOP HIM, BEFORE GRABBING HIM INSTEAD AND CRACKING HIS SKULL AGAINST THE RINGPOST!

(Bronson, once again, crumbled to the ground as Methuselah dragged his hand against the blood splatter on the ring post upon impact. He ceremoniously smeared it across his chest, as he glanced at Richard and Kensingten. When Bronson had shown signs of life, the two had clutched one another, holding on for dear life. Methuselah shot them both a calm-down type of glare, as if to say he had it perfectly under control.)

(He knew what he had to do.)

Stew-O: Methuselah snatches Bronson and drags him over to… our table… BEFORE SLAMMING HIM FACE-FIRST AGAINST IT! Bronson’s head bounces off as Methuselah grabs him again… BEFORE SLAMMING HIM AGAINST IT AGAIN-

Flannery McCoy: NO! BRONSON HOLDS HIS HANDS OUT TO STOP HIMSELF! HE CONNECTS WITH AN ELBOW TO THE CHEST BEFORE GRABBING METHUSELAH AND SLAMMING *HIS* HEAD AGAINST THE ANNOUNCERS TABLE!

Jake Mercer: AND HE CONNECTS AGAIN! AGAIN! AGAIN! AGAIN! AGAIN! BRONSON IS RELENTLESS AS HE DRIVES METHUSELAH’S HEAD AGAINST THE ANNOUNCER’S TABLE OVER AND OVER!

Stew-O: BRONSON THEN SLIDES METHUSELAH INTO THE RING BEFORE LAUNCHING UP ONTO THE APRON… LEAPING OFF THE ROPES AND NAILING HIM WITH A SPRINGBOARD CLOTHESLINE TO ENTER BACK INTO THE RING!

(Feeding off the energy of the crowd gave Bronson the strength to get back to his feet. Everyone inside the stadium was going crazy. Tyrone finally turned around, wanting to watch what was happening at last, and Diamond was running up and down their side of the ring, getting the crowd hyped up.

(Kensingten and Richard looked at one another and gulped.)

Flannery McCoy: Methuselah is slowly rising back up to his feet… JUST FOR BRONSON TO COME IN AND LEAP THROUGH THE AIR WITH A FLYING FOREARM TO THE FACE! METHUSELAH IS BACK UP, BUT BRONSON GRABS HIM BY THE WRIST BEFORE TAKING HIM DOWN WITH AN ARM DRAG! METHUSELAH ROLLS UP AS BRONSON THEN TURNS AROUND AND RUNS TO THE ROPES AND BACK BEFORE RUSHING AT HIM…

Jake Mercer: BUT METHUSELAH SCOOPS UNDER AND CATCHES HIM BEFORE SWINGING AROUND INTO A POWERSLAM-

Stew-O: BUT BRONSON TWISTS HIS BODY AROUND AND GRABS HIM AROUND THE NECK BEFORE DRIVING HIS HEAD DOWN WITH A DDT!

Flannery McCoy: The crowd is firmly behind Bronson Daniels now as he rises back up to his feet, and they’re coming alive at his late-game comeback right now! You can see he’s still not in the best of shape, he’s seizing his arm every so often and walking with a slight limp, but even then it feels as though that doesn’t matter to him! Methuselah is rising back up and he knows that if he gives him even a chance, then he’s going to make sure that he pays for it!

Jake Mercer: BRONSON THEN RUSHES TO THE ROPES AGAIN AND FLIPS FORWARD, HANDSPRING ING OFF OF THEM… BEFORE FLIPPING BACKWARD INTO THE PELE KICK! ‘CELESTIAL WHIRLWIND’ CONNECTS AND BRONSON SHOOTS UP AND IMMEDIATELY FALLS INTO THE CORNER!

(Bronson clutched at the elbow pad he was wearing, before snatching it down his arm. The crowd roared their approval. He had his mind made up that was going to connect with the very move that originally started this; the one that had eliminated Methuselah from Grand Rampage.)

(That would be Bronson’s full-circle moment and the perfect way to end this.)

Stew-O: BRONSON IS YELLING AT METHUSELAH TO GET UP! AND THAT’S WHAT HE’S DOING! HOW APPROPRIATE THAT THIS IS WHAT ENDS THIS RIGHT NOW! METHUSELAH IS UP ON A KNEE! THE CROWD IS ON THEIR FEET! HE’S GOING FOR IT!

Flannery McCoy: ‘MICKEY I JUST KNOCKED YOUR HEAD OFF’!

(The camera panned around while Bronson got ready to run. It lingered on the Chairman for a moment, catching the look on battle torn face.)

Jake Mercer: (Muttering) *What’s that look on his face…*

(And as the footsteps quickly approached…)

(Methuselah smirked..)

Stew-O: # SPEAR!

(In a split second, Methuselah twisted around and ducked under, before spearing the life out of Bronson Daniels as the two were towards a collision. As the spear connected, the light of hope dimmed in Bronson’s eyes. Every fan watching inside of Camping World Stadium, including Tyrone and Diamond, damn near fell to their knees. Methuselah had reached into their chests, grabbed their hearts, and yanked every single one of them out.)

(He clearly had a plan. He just needed to lure Bronson into the trap.)

(Methuselah turned around, his smirk diminishing as he fell into the same corner as Bronson was in before him, yelling at him the same way Bronson did him, and lying in wait the same way he did. Bronson, who was desperately clutching at his abdomen, was forcing himself to rise again. He was coughing profusely, trying to force the air back into his lungs, and when he turned around…)

Flannery McCoy: (Muttering) *This is overkill…*

Jake Mercer: A SECOND SPEAR TO BRONSON WIPES HIM OUT AGAIN!

Stew-O: But Methuselah once again is not going for the pin, and it seems as though he’s looking to complete the trifecta. I don’t know how Bronson is even getting up right now, but even Methuselah knows after the past couple of attempts, one Spear isn’t going to keep him down, I don’t think even two. He’s out to not just win this match, but make a statement as well. I can’t believe what I’m seeing right now…

Flannery McCoy: *Bronson rises up one more time, and seemingly right into the arms of a patient Methuselah…*

Jake Mercer: **A THIRD SPEAR TO BRONSON DANIELS!**

(…)

Stew-O: BRONSON MOVES!

(It happened suddenly, but Bronson collapsed to the ground. Somehow he managed to maneuver his body out of the way as Methuselah did a graceful roll forward and up to a knee. The look on his face said it all, he was not happy with his exclamation point being halted like that. He made his way up and stormed towards Bronson, grabbed him by his head, dragging him up slowly. Bronson was on his knees as he looked at Methuselah, practically shaking with rage.)

Flannery McCoy: I… I just don’t know what Bronson is going to be able to do in this situation…

(As he had done multiple times in the match already, the defiant Bronson emphatically spit in Methuselah’s face. Methuselah did not bother to react. He simply glared down at Bronson with fire in his eyes.)

Bronson Daniels: (Off-Mic) *You will never… take away… my… brand…*

Jake Mercer: METHUSELAH PULLS HIM IN AND HOOKS THE ARMS, HE’S GOING TO CONNECT WITH THE ‘MK DRIVER’!

Stew-O: BUT BRONSON SLIPS OUT AND GRABS HIM BY THE ARM BEFORE NAILING HIM WITH A STIFF FOREARM SHOT TO THE FACE! METHUSELAH CRUMBLES DOWN TO A KNEE AS BRONSON STEPS BACK…

Flannery McCoy: BEFORE SPINNING AROUND AND CONNECTING WITH ‘CHROME HEARTS’! THE SPINNING ROUNDHOUSE KICK CONNECTS AND METHUSELAH DROPS TO THE GROUND LIKE DEAD WEIGHT!

Jake Mercer: BRONSON THEN PULLS METHUSELAH IN AND HOOKS THE ARMS HIMSELF BEFORE LIFTING HIM OFF OF THE GROUND!

Stew-O: HE’S GOING FOR ‘SAVAGE MODE’!

(…)

Flannery McCoy: IT CONNECTS! IT CONNECTS!

Jake Mercer: BUT BRONSON ISN’T GOING FOR THE PIN! HE SEES METHUSELAH ALREADY BEGINNING TO STIR AS HE STEPS BACK…

Stew-O: BEFORE REARING HIS ARM BACK AND CONNECTING WITH ‘MICKEY I JUST KNOCKED YOUR HEAD OFF’!

(…)

Flannery McCoy: IT CONNECTS!!!

Jake Mercer: METHUSELAH IS OUT! METHUSELAH IS OUT! BRONSON LUNGES FORWARD BEFORE ROLLING HIM ONTO HIS BACK AND HOOKING THE LEG! PIN!

OOONNNEEE!!!

TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!

TTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

(…)

(…)

(…)

Stew-O: He… he did it…

Flannery McCoy: *He kicked out…*

(The camera focused on one thing and one thing only; Methuselah shooting his shoulder up and extending his arm into the air, seemingly as a message. The crowd gasped, clearly stunned, before falling back into silence.)

(The look on Bronson’s face was a story that told a thousand words. He had given this match, the Dynasty brand, and all his brethren and fans his all. He had thrown what he had left at Methuselah just then.)

(Methuselah had killed the atmosphere inside of the stadium.)

(Bronson was despondent as he pulled himself off of him, watching Methuselah slouch down to a limp position. Tyrone and Diamond had been shocked into silence, while Kensingten and Richard recovered from their near heart attack at ringside.)

(Bronson had nothing to say and he rolled under the bottom rope. With his head down, he stood up on the apron. His weakened legs were shaking as he stepped onto the tuckbuckles, using his injured arms to steady himself. Methuselah had not yet moved since the kick out, and was in position for Bronson to attempt a Hail Mary.)

(Despite being exhausted, Bronson stood to his full height.)

(This was his best shot.)

(It was his only shot.)

(‘Leap of Faith’.)

(…)

(Methuselah moved.)

(Bronson landed right on his spine, seizing his back in pain as he desperately tried to rise back up to his feet, doing everything that he could in order to fight…)

(As Methuselah sprinted forward and connected with another Spear.)

(The crowd, if they weren’t before, were certainly silent now. Methuselah slowly rose back up to a kneeling position. The commentary team was silent and said nothing as Methuselah stood back up and grabbed Bronson’s head.)

(Bronson was completely out, having not moved a muscle after he was knocked off his feet with the spear.)

(Methuselah turned Bronson around and lifted him off the ground.)

(It was time to finish off the match… and was going to do it with *’Archangel Falls.’*.)

(But not just any One-Handed Electric Chair Driver would do, instead Methuselah took a step back. Up he went the same turnbuckles Bronson tried the ‘Leap of Faith’ on, he slowly began to step up them with Bronson on his shoulders, before pushing himself off…)

(** And he connected with an avalanche ‘Archangel Falls’.**)

(The only thing that could be heard is the impact of the mat as Methuselah rolled Bronson over and hooked the leg, situating himself to look at both Kensingten and Richard as he does, there are no more words needed to be said.)

(The match was over)

OOONNNEEE!!!

TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!

TTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

(…)

(…)

(…)

Jake Mercer: HE KICKED OUT! DID HE JUST… WHAT THE HELL?!

Stew-O: No, no he didn’t…

(The crowd, jumping to their feet in excitement, immediately sat back down… ***seeing that Methuselah had lifted Bronson’s shoulders off the mat himself.***)

Flannery McCoy: OH C’MON THIS ISN’T NECESSARY AT ALL. YOU DID WHAT YOU NEEDED TO DO, WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT?

Jake Mercer: *He’ll hear you, I’d quiet down, Flan…*

(Methuselah lumbered to his knees, and scooped Bronson up. He turned over to Diamond and Tyrone, who know that this was over, but had disgusted looks on their respective faces. They didn’t trust Methuselah and had a feeling that he was going to try and put Bronson Daniels out of the commission for good.)

(Methuselah kept his eyes on Tyrone and Diamond before he pulled back Bronson’s head. He locked in his version of the vertical Muta lock, aptly titled the ‘Methuselock’.)

(Obviously there was no reaction from Bronson. He was done. The maniacal look in Methuselah’s eyes let everyone know that he was not done. He held Bronson in the hold, despite the referee coming over to him. The referee wanted to check on Bronson and call the match off, but Methuselah bared his teeth at him.)

Methuselah: (Off-Mic) ***BACK OFF.***

(The referee cowered back as Methuselah continued to berate him. Diamond looked as if she might throw up, and Tyrone was frozen in place. Finally, Tyrone shook his head. He couldn’t stand it. He had to do something.)

Tyrone Montgomery: (Off-Mic) ENOUGH!!!

(Tyrone was not going to let Bronson suffer any longer.)

(Methuselah cracked a smile.)

Methuselah: :mjlol2:

(He started to laugh as the referee had no choice but to come in and check on Bronson.)

(It was obviously what the outcome was.)

(DING! DING! DING!)

(‘Praise Gawd’ began to play through the speakers as Methuselah let go of Bronson’s body, which fell to the ground with a thud. The crowd was, once again, completely silent as the referee headed over and reluctantly raised the Chairman’s arm in the air. He rose back up, and simply looked around as Camping World Stadium couldn’t believe what they just witnessed.)

Stephie Love: Here is your winner… METHUSELAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stew-O: It’s… it’s over…

Flannery McCoy: The Fate of Dynasty has been sealed… and it’s in the hands of Kensingten Calhoun-Astor and Richard Grant.

(Richard and Kensingten, of course, celebrated like this was their biggest achievement, because this was, in fact, their biggest achievement. They jumped up and down before they embraced one another like assholes, and while some fans in the front row were seen heckling them, it did not matter in the slightest as they officially had control of Friday Night Dynasty.)

(Tyrone Montgomery and Diamond Dixon on the other hand, are the complete opposite of the spectrum. They looked toward one another, with the sudden realization of the ramifications of such a victory… before they embraced one another into a sorrowful hug. They knew that this was over… this was officially their end.)

Jake Mercer: I can’t even deny myself that Bronson Daniels put up the fight of a lifetime. Against the greatest to ever do it inside of an Elite Answers Wrestling ring, he pulled off a Pain For Pride level performance beyond his years, and he got so close to putting an end to this once and for all. But now… he lost. He failed.

(Once Methuselah was done with his celebration, he looked down at Bronson, who was being checked on by officials. He was still unconscious and hadn’t moved an inch since the closing bell. The Chairman could only shake his head before he dropped down and rolled out of the ring.)

(Kensingten and Richard quickly rounded the ringside area, trying to meet up with him, congratulating and thanking him for what he had done for them, but Methuselah didn’t respond. He brushed them off before continuing up the ramp and to the backstage area. While both of them were confused by this, it didn’t dampen their celebration whatsoever.)

(After a while, Diamond and Tyrone finally entered the ring. They slowly inched the referee out of the way as they checked on him themselves. Bronson had finally awoken and started to stir, and immediately it began to set in for him what had happened himself. He was inconsolable and in utter disbelief of what occurred. But at the moment, that’s not what either of them cared about then as Tyrone began to speak.)

Tyrone Montgomery: (Off-Mic) *It’s okay… it’s okay…*

(Diamond pulled him into a hug, as she tried to comfort him, but Bronson simply stared at the ground, above all, he knew that he had failed Friday Night Dynasty… but Kensingten and Richard certainly didn’t feel that way as they were entering the ring.)

(They looked at the three of them on the ground, before they began to maniacally laugh in a sickly way toward them. They were pointing and gloating as they trash-talked them to no end, knowing that this power struggle was finally put to rest.)

(Kensingten and Richard chastising them inside of the ring was the last shot seen before Pain For Pride Kingdom faded away for a quick break.)

(Pain For Pride Kingdom fades back in as the next match graphic is seen flashging across the screen. The crowd then proceeds to roar in approval upon seeing this.)

(https://i.imgur.com/YD9sSvb.png)

(The camera then goes back to show Bella Braxton inside of the ring as she stands by with a microphone in hand, ready to speak.)

Bella Braxton: THE FOLLOWING IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!!

( The crowd cheers in anticipation before “When Darkness Falls” by Killswitch Engage blasts through the speakers. Drake King nonchalantly marches onto the stage, spreading his arms to fireworks before he prances down towards the squares circle.

Bella Braxton: INTRODUCING FIRST! From The Dead Sea, Israel, weighing in at 220 pounds.. HE IS “THE MESSIAH,” DRAAAAAKEEEE KIIIIINGG

Rich Russillo: We are minutes away from what is possibly the most anticipated matches of all time. This is a match between two gladiators that have dominated the landscape of Elite Answers Wrestling, earning them many accolades, yet fate has never put themselves on the dawn trajectory. Today, they step into the ring for their first one and one match and how fitting is it for this to take place in the grandest stage of them all, Pain for Pride.

Persephone: DREAM MATCH THIS! DREAM MATCH THAT! The only thing about this that would make it a dream if one of these two had The Boys-like superpowers and just tried to kill each other. You know! Like the older days?

James Peters: We all know what happens when two massive egos collide and we may see these two implode here tonight. They’ve both upheld a reputation of being intense, of being vicious, of being nefarious, so it is going to be interesting how their similar styles clash here in Orlando.

( Drake King stops posing in the middle of the ring and looks towards the titantron…)

((https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5aSKv_eXcsw)

(Violins and piano can be heard as an orchestral version of “Meet The Grahams” by Kendrick Lamar echoes throughout the Camping Life Stadium. Andre Walker slowly makes his way out to the stage with confidence and poise, flanked with Albert Hitchman by his side. )

Bella Braxton: INTRODUCING HIS OPPONENT! Hailing from the ISLE OF SAMOA.. WEIGHING IN AT 245 POUNDS.. HE IS.. “THE KAISER,” ANDREEE WAAALLLLKKEERRRRR!!!

James Peters: THE KAISER IS HERE!!

Rich Russillo: Both of these men many months ago has aspirations to compete in the highest level possible for the world championship here at Pain For Pride, but since they have found themselves in the same wavelength, it has been a matter of figuring who’s better. There’s no doubt that these two are one of the greatest of the last decade, yet there hasn’t been much chances for us to see on whose truly better inside that ring.

James Peters: Drake King has already cemented himself as an all-time great, being inducted into the Hall of Fame last year, and Andre Walker no doubt on his way to being inducted. However there is one question that has been brung up even during these twos domination. Who is far more superior? the Kaiser or the Messiah?

Persephone: LETS GET THIS STARTED-

( Albert Hitchman snatches the microphone out of Bella Braxton’s hand. )

Albert Hitchman: NUH-UH!

Albert Hitchman: The Kaiser recognizes how big of this match.. The magnitude of Drake King vs Andre Walker.. and he wants to make sure that the decision of this match.. It will be settled in the most finite and dominating way possible..

Albert Hitchman: THEREFORE! BY THE ORDER OF THE GAWD CONTRACT.. THIS MATCH IS NOW A NO DISQUALIFICATION MATCH!! RING THE FREAKIN’ ! BELL!!

( DING! DING! DING! )

James Peters: Well, there you have it! Andre Walker has used his powers to change this to a no disqualification match! This undoubtedly throws a wrench in the plans of the Messiah, WHO DARTS AT THE KAISER AND BUM RUSHES HIM INTO THE CORNER!

Rich Russillo: AND THIS CLASH FOR THE AGES AS BOTH MEN ARE THROWING DOWN HERE IN IN THE CAMPING FIELD STADIUM! AN EQUAL EXCHANGE HERE… ANDRE! DRAKE! ANDRE! ANDRE! ANDRE SEEMINGLY GETTING THE UPPER HAND HERE UNTIL DRAKE BEGINS TO OVERWHELM WITH LEFTS!

Persephone: AND THE HALL OF FAMER SENDS HIM TUMBLING OVER THE TOP ROPE WITH A CLOTHESLINE!! WALKER IS DOWN AS DRAKE RUNS THE ROPES!

James Peters: DRAKE KING SUCCESSFULLY FLOORS WALKER WITH A BIG TIME TOPE SUICIDA! AND HE SOAKS IN THE ROAR OF THE CROWD! AND THEY PROVOKE HIM TO HIT A SECOND ONE! ASK AND YOU SHALL RECEIVE AS HE SLIDES BACK INTO THE RING FOR ANOTHER SUICIDE DIVE!

Rich Russillo: Andre Walker slides into the ring while Drake is about to rebound off the ropes. AND WALKER LOOKS TO INTERCEPT WITH A POWERFUL CLOTHESLINE!

James Peters: BUT DRAKE KING FLOATS OVER THE ARM AND SPIKES HIM DOWN WITH A SLING BLADE!

Rich Russillo: THE KAISER IS STUNNED AS KING COMES FROM BEHIND! He plants his knee into the lower back and sends Kaiser reeling through the ropes and back onto the ringside….

Persephone: AND NOW HE STUPIDLY IS BACK IN POSITION! AND DRAKE KING SHOOTS THROUGH THE ROPES! AND FLOORS THE KAISER YET AGAIN WITH A TOPE SUICIDA!

James Peters: ANDRE WALKER SNIPED HIM WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK IN MID-AIR! AND NOW DRAKE KING IS DANGLING FACE DOWN FROM THE MIDDLE ROPE!

Persephone: WHAT A MORON! DRAKE IS STUNNED ON THE ROPES AND ANDRE TAKES ADVANTAGE OF THIS AND FIRED AT HIM WITH REPEATED PUNCHES.. Andre hooks the arm and grabs the tights!! AND HE YANKS HIM OFF THE ROPES AND THROWS HIM DOWN TOWARDS THE BARRICADE WITH A SUPLEX!

Rich Russillo: Drake King tried to overwhelm Andre Walker with his agility and volatility, only to find himself caught by the calculated precision of the Kaiser! Those educated feet of Walker must be watched out for, and when Drake thought Walker was compromised, he should’ve thought again!

James Peters: And now, after being thrown relentlessly into the barricade, Drake King favors his lower back while Andre Walker takes a second to slow down the pace of this now NO DQ match.

Persephone: Andre Walker thought that he was going to make this a no DQ match and Drake King was gonna have no reaction and start with a collar and elbow tie up! Such psychology right there, but he’s found himself in his natural habitat and begins to punish Drake King for his transgressions on the outside!

Rich Russillo: Walker peppers him with stiff roundhouse kicks to the midsection against the barricade before grabbing his wrist.. AND HE PULLS ON IT.. AND DRAKE KING GOES SHOULDER FIRST INTO THE CORNER BARRICADE!

James Peters: The Kaiser shushing the fans here in Orlando who are booing him, as he now grabs Drake and throws him face first into the ring post! DRAKE KING BLOCKS THE ATTEMPT! AND HE TURNS IT AROUND AND THROWS HIM INTO THE CORNER BARRICADE!

Rich Russillo: Andre is hurt as he stumbles backward… AND DRAKE FOLLOWS THAT UP BY SEIZING HIM AROUND THE WAIST AND DRIVING HIM INTO THE BARRICADE AGAIN! Andre is hurt but immediately begins to slam strikes down on the top of his head, and it’s not long before he forces Drake away! Now aiming to chuck him into the steel steps with a strong Irish whip-

James Peters: DRAKE KING JUMPS OVER THE STEEL STEPS! AND HE THINKS HE’S SAFE BUT ANDRE LOOKS TO CORRECT HIS MISTAKE AND RUNS TOWARDS THE STEEL STEPS!

Rich Russillo: ANDRE JUMPS ONTO THE STEPS AND COULD BE GOING FOR THE SUPERMAN PUN-

James Peters: DRAKE KING JUST TELEPORTED ONTO THE STEPS WITH ANDRE! AND HE GRABS ANDRE AND PULLS HIM OFF THE STEPS WITH HIM!

Rich Russillo: AND DRAKE KING WITH A SUPLEX OFF THE STEEL STEPS.. AND HE’S NOT DONE AS HE ROLLED ROLLED THROUGH AND SHOOTS FOR THE FALCON ARROW. THIS IS CLASSIC DRAKE KING!

James Peters: AND IT CONNECTS! Andre bounces off of the canvas as Drake then looks like a man possessed! He grabs him and brings him back to his feet… BEFORE SENDING HIM INTO THE STEEL STEPS- NO! ANDRE TURNS IT AROUND AND SENDS HIM INTO IT INSTEAD! Andre Walker would’ve been in trouble there, but he manages to recalibrate before picking the Messiah back up and bringing him back into the ring.

Rich Russillo: No countout, no disqualification; these two can do anything they please, and now Andre Walker goes underneath the bottom rope and follows Drake King into a corner. Walker with a huge roundhouse kick to the midsection, driving the air out of the body of King, before he grabs the wrist and IRISH WHIPS DRAKE KING TO THE OPPOSITE CORNER!

Persephone: DRAKE KING REVERSES IT AND ANDRE WALKER COLLIDES INTO THE TURNBUCKLES!! King now follows it up and comes full speed ahead towards the Kaiser! ANDRE BENDS DOWN AND HOISTS HIM UP OVER HIS SHOULDERS! DRAKE KING LANDS ON THE APRON!! WALKER EATS A ROPE-ASSISTED ENZIGURI TO THE SIDE OF THE FACE!

Rich Russillo: AND NOW DRAKE KING LEAPS ONTO THE ROPES AND GOES FOR A SPRINGBO–

Persephone: WHAT A BUFFOON!! ANDRE WALKER HAD IT SCOUTED AND YANKED HIS LEGS OUT OF THE AIR!! KING WITH A BEAUTIFUL FALL INTO THE ROPES AND ONTO THE GROUND AS HE NOW GETS UP.. MEANWHILE, ANDRE IS SPEEDING UP, BUILDING MOMENTUM WITH THE ROPES!

James Peters: AND ANDRE WALKER KICKS HIS FACE IN WITH A BIG BOOT!! KING IS DOWN AND WALKER FALLS DOWN FOR A COVER!

ONE!!!

T-

Rich Russillo: QUICK KICK-OUT! Andre Walker must’ve done that, as we are starting to see how cold and calculated the Kaiser is going to be. The slow burn, the methodical torment that has amassed him so much accolades here in Elite Answers Wrestling. Andre Walker pulls him back up to his feet, taking him back down with a snapmare.. and DIGGING HIS FIST RIGHT INTO THE SPINE!

James Peters: Drake King grabbing his lower back in pain, retreating underneath the bottom rope and resting on the apron. Andre Walker steps through the ropes and meets him there. King put himself in an unfavorable position here, as Andre pounds him with a forearm smash before plucking him off the apron!

Rich Russillo: ANDRE WALKER HOISTS HIM ONTO HIS SHOULDERS.. TRYING FOR A SAMOAN DROP OFF THE APRON!!

Persephone: BUT DRAKE KING SMARTLY GRABS ONTO THE ROPES AND USES IT AS AN AID TO ESCAPE THE CLUTCH OF THE KAISER AND LAND INTO THE RING!!

James Peters: AND ANDRE WALKER TRIES TO KICK HIM THROUGH THE ROPES!! BUT DRAKE KING BLOCKED THE LEG!! AND HE TORQUES IT WITH A NASTY DRAGON SCREW!!

Rich Russillo: ANDRE WALKER IN A VULNERABLE POSITION HERE.. AND DRAKE KING NOW SLINGSHOTS OVER THE ROPES!! GRABS WALKER ON THE WAY DOWN AND LANDS ON HIS FEET.. AND HE NOW CARRIES HIM AROUND RINGSIDE WITH HIM ON HIS SHOULDERS IN A POWERBOMB POSITION!! OH NO!!

James Peters: AND DRAKE KING LAUNCHES ANDRE WALKER INTO THE RINGPOST WITH A RELEASE POWERBOMB!! DID YOU HEAR THAT SOUND!?! UGH!!

Rich Russillo: Drake King with a powerbomb into the ring post, and Andre went smacking right into the metal, and the fall to the ground was just as devastating! Andre slowly gets up to his feet… and Drake places his foot into the midsection and throws the arm over.. AND HE PLANTS HIM DOWN WITH A SNAP SUPLEX ON THE RINGSIDE FLOOR!! Andre Walker now favoring his lower back as Drake King takes a second to recharge and take in the sold-out crowd here at Pain For Pride…

James Peters: Albert Hitchman lurking in the shadows, but not worried as he knows the Kaiser will bounce back in a matter of seconds now. Drake King sizes him up and connects with a kick to the face before putting Andre in between his legs and seemingly going for ANOTHER POWERBOMB!! BUT ANDRE WALKER TWISTS OUT OF HIS CONTROL! AND LANDS AN UPPERCUT RIGHT TO THE JAW! DRAKE IS TAKEN A COUPLE OF STEPS BACK.. BUT HE SWINGS BACK! WALKER DUCKS UNDER THE ARM!!

Rich Russillo: AND ANDRE WALKER LOOKS TO DRIVE DRAKE KING THROUGH OUR ANNOUNCE TABLE WITH A URANAGE!

James Peters: DRAKE KING DROPS DOWN ONTO HIS HEAD.. GRABS IT AND SMASHES HIS HEAD INTO THE ANNOUNCE TABLE WITH A DDT OF SORTS! WHAT A COUNTER!

Persephone: Andre Walker is resting his upper body on top of the announce table, and this pops up an idea for the EAW Hall of Famer! AS DRAKE NOW RUNS ACROSS THE ANNOUNCE TABLE! AND GOES FOR A CURB STOMP ONTO THE TABLE!! THIS COULD BE IT!

Rich Russillo: ANDRE WALKER PULLS AWAY IN THE NICK OF TIME!! DRAKE STOMPS HIS FOOT INTO THE TABLE!! AND WALKER WHIPS HIS LEFT FOOT WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK THAT CAUSES THE HALL OF FAMER TO FACEPLANT THE ANNOUNCE TABLE!!

James Peters: THESE TWO EAW ELITISTS CONTINUE TO FIGHT HERE ON THE OUTSIDE!! AND NOW Drake King is laid out momentarily on top of the announce table while Andre Walker climbs on top of the barricade! WHAT IS HE THINKING HERE RICH!?!?

Rich Russillo: ANDRE WALKER RAISES HIS FIST!! AND COULD BE LOOKING TO SMASH DRAKE KING THROUGH THE TABLE WITH THE OZYMANDIAS ELBOW!!

James Peters: BUT DRAKE KING WITH A SUDDEN OUTBURST OF ENERGY.. SURGES ONTO HIS FEET.. AND LEAPS OFF THE TABLE TOWARDS WALKER!! AND BOTH DRAKE KING AND ANDRE WALKER GO CRASHING OVER THE BARRICADE AND ONTO THE CEMENT FLOOR!! Andre Walker seemingly got the worst of it as Drake King mounts on top of the Kaiser and unloads lefts and rights onto him!

Persephone: THIS IS NOT A FALLS COUNT ANYWHERE MATCH YOU MANIACS! GET BACK IN HERE!! REFEREE, DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS!

Rich Russillo: Unfortunately, there is nothing the official can do as we all saw Andre Walker rule this as a no disqualification bout! No doubt, this match would’ve been called off had he not made that decision, but he might be regretting that decision as DRAKE KING GRABS WALKER AND THROWS HIM FACE FIRST INTO A GARBAGE CAN!! THE ROAR OF THE CROWD HERE IN THE CAMPING LIFE STADIUM IS REAL!!

Persephone: I don’t think anyone expected these two for their tensions to go spilling out into the crowd. But, anything to get them further away from the match objective. DRAKE GRABS A WATER BOTTLE FROM A FAN AND SMASHES IT AGAINST THE FACE OF WALKER!

James Peters: Drake King tries to smack Andre Walker’s head into the seat railing, but Walker puts his foot down to block it.. AND WALKER’S TURN TO WREAK HAVOC AS HE SMASHES HIS FACE RIGHT INTO THE RAILING!! AND HE CHOPS KING DOWN WITH HEADBUTTS BEFORE BRINGING THE MESSIAH UP HIGHER INTO THE SEATS!

Persephone: Why in the world would they want to get further away from the ring! Andre Walker continues to pummel Drake King on the stairs before he brings him up to his feet! AND HE HOISTS THE HALL OF FAMER INTO A POWERBOMB POSITION!! **WALKER IS LOOKING TO SEND DRAKE KING DOWN THE STAIRS WITH A POWERBOMB**

James Peters: BUT DRAKE KING SLIDES DOWN HIS SHOULDERS!! AND HE HIKES A STEP OR TWO!! AND CLOCKS WALKER WITH A FLUSH SUPERKICK!! AND NOW DRAKE KING HAS THE KAISER IN A POWERBOMB POSITION!!!

Rich Russillo: ANDRE WALKER POWERS UP AND SENDS DRAKE KING DOWN THE STAIRS WITH A BACK BODY DROP!!

James Peters: DRAKE KING MIRACULOUSLY LANDS ON HIS FEET ON THE STEPS–

Persephone: KING TURNS AROUND!! AND WALKER KICKS HIM RIGHT IN THE CHEST!! AND DRAKE KING GOES TUMBLING DOWN THE STAIRS!!

James Peters: DRAKE KING WITH WHAT COULD BE A MATCH-ENDING FALL, CASCADING DOWN THE FLIGHT OF CEMENT STAIRS, BUMPING EVERY PART OF HIS BODY ON HIS WAY DOWN! ANDRE WALKER RAISES HIS ARM IN THE CROWD AS HE CELEBRATES IN THE FACT HE MIGHT HAVE KILLED A MAN!

Rich Russillo: Drake King just now beginning to catch a wind of himself, using the railing at the bottom of the stairs to help him up to his feet. Andre Walker slowly descends down and grabs from behind. King is still a bit stunned from the fall, AS WALKER NOW TOSSES KING OVER THE BARRICADE AND KING SCREAMS UPON IMPACT!

Persephone: The Ka-stupid finally remembered that the match can only be settled inside the ring. He sets King onto his shoulders and rolls him into the ring. He doesn’t get into the ring yet as he pulls up the curtain sheets and brings out a table! He sets it up on the ramp ringside while King is still getting up to one knee.

Rich Russillo: Andre Walker finishes preparing the table before getting a steel chair from under the ring. He brings it in- DRAKE KING WITH A BASEBALL SLIDE DROPKICK INTO THE CHAIR! AND WALKER EATS THE STEEL CHAIR TO THE FACE UPON ENTRY TO THE RING!

James Peters: ANDRE WALKER DOESN’T GO DOWN AS HE IS USING THE TABLE HE JUST SET UP AS CRUTCHES!

Rich Russillo: DRAKE KING SOARS OVER THE TOP ROPE WITH A SLINGSHOT CROSSBODY!

Persephone: IDIOT! WALKER JUST CAUGHT HIM IN MID-AIR! AND DRAKE KING HAS JUST LANDED HIMSELF INTO POSITION FOR A URANAGE THROUGH THE TABLE!

James Peters: DRAKE KING CHOPS HIM DOWN WITH ELBOWS TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD! MOMENTARILY STUNNING HIM WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO THE CHEST! Andre holds his pecs, as King slides back into the ring!

Rich Russillo: Drake King rebounds off the ropes… ONLY TO SEE ANDRE WALKER BACK INTO THE RING CHARGING INTO HIM!

Persephone: DRAKE DUCKS UNDER HIS ARMS! HE COMES OFF THE ROPES AND GOES FOR A SLINGBLADE!

James Peters: ANDRE WALKED NOT LETTING IT HAPPEN AS HE HOLDS ONTO HIM.. AND HE LAUNCHES HIM UP AND OVER WITH AN OVERHEAD BELLY-TO-BELLY SUPLEX!!

Rich Russillo: DRAKE KING HAS THE WHEREWITHAL TO STICK THE LANDING ON HIS FEET!

Persephone: AND ANDRE WALKER GETS ON HIS KNEES! OBLIVIOUS TO DRAKE LANDING SAFELY.. AND DRAKE KING BLASTS HIM IN THE BACK OF THE SKULL WITH A SUPERKICK!

James Peters: ANDRE WALKER IS STUNNED! AS NOW DRAKE KING HOOKS HIM UP AND LOOKS TO HIT THE HEAVEN ON EARTH BRAINBUSTER!!

Rich Russillo: KING GETS LIFTED RIGHT INTO A SAMOAN DROP! ANDRE WALKER JUST CRUSHED THE HALL OF FAMER AS HE HAS THE LEG HOOKED!

ONE!!!!

TWO!!!!

James Peters: KICKOUT! Drake King was on the precipice of hitting the single underhook brainbuster , a move that accumulated him much success here in EAW, but Andre Walker had it scouted and compacted him down with a vicious Samoan drop!

Rich Russillo: Andre Walker gets up to his feet and seems to be wanting to end this now as he is in the corner! Drake recalibrating after the soul-crushing Samoan drop AND ANDRE WALKER IS IN POSITION!!

James Peters: AND ANDRE WALKER SHOOTS UP AND FLIES FOR THE SUPERMAN PUNCH!

Rich Russillo: DRAKE MEETS HIM OFF THE GROUND AND DELIVERS A KNEE STRIKE TO THE JAW! ANDRE IS STUNNED!

Persephone: AND DRAKE KICKS HIS STOMACH! PULLS HIM IN.. HOOKS BOTH ARMS! AND HE WANTS THE PEDIGREE!

James Peters: ANDRE WALKER CARRIES HIM ONTO HIS SHOULDERS! Drake predicted it and pulled him down into a sunset fli—NO ANDRE ONE STEP AHEAD AS WELL AND SITS DOWN FOR THE COVER!

ONE!!

TWOOOO!!

Persephone: DRAKE ESCAPES OUT OF THE PREDICAMENT! AND BOTH ELITISTS GET UP TO THEIR FEET! WHO STRIKES FIRST!

James Peters: DRAKE KING WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK! NO ANDRE DUCKS UNDER IT! AND ANDRE WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK OF HIS OWN..

Persephone: AND ANDRE GOES FOR A JUMPING KNEE STRIKE REBOUNDING OFF THE ROPES! BUT DRAKE DUCKS UNDER IT! AND LANDS A SUPERKICK TO THE FACE!

Rich Russillo: ANDRE CATCHES HIS FOOT IN THE AIR! AND DRAKE KING SLIPS AND FALL, RESORTING TO CLINGING ONTO THE ROPES!

James Peters: Andre Walker still holds onto him as he tries to yank him off the ropes! The first doesn’t work, the second pull doesn’t work, BUT HE IS NOW ABLE TO ROPE HIM OFF!

Persephone: DRAKE KING FLIPS ONTO HIS FEET UPON RELEASE!! AND NAILS THE KAISER WITH A ROLLING ENZIGURI!

Rich Russillo: THAT GOT HIM! OR I THINK SO AS ANDRE REBOUNDS CHEST FIRST OFF THE ROPES.. AND INSTINCTIVELY TURNS TO STEAMROLL DRAKE KING WITH A LARIAT!

James Peters: DRAKE KING AVOIDS THE KING KONG LARIAT BY FLOATING OVER THE ARM.. HOISTING HIM UP ONTO HIS SHOULDERS AND PLOPPING HIM DOWN WITH A FLOAT-OVED SIT-OUT POWERBOMB! SHOULDERS ARE DOWN!

ONEEEEEE!!

TWOOOOO!!!

T-

Rich Russillo: Andre Walker pops his shoulder up at two! Drake King was able to get the best out of the exchange, rolling backwards up to his feet and bringing Andre Walker closer towards the turnbuckles. King with a knife-edge chop right across the chest! The Kaiser felt that chop, as now King deals another chop to the chest! And another one! And another one.

James Peters: King lighting up the flesh on his chest and now, irish whipping him to the opposite corner! …Walker collides into the turnbuckles, at the same time KING CHARGES IN! KING WITH A BIG JUMPING FOREARM SMASH!

Rich Russillo: Andre Walker takes King a couple of steps back with a shoot kick to the face! King is staggered in the middle of the ring! PERFECT POSITION FOR WALKER TO STRIKE WITH THE SUPERMAN PUNCH!!

James Peters: WALKER GOES FOR IT! BUT DRAKE KING GRABS ONE OF HIS ARMS IN MID-AIR, TRAVELS AROUND THE WAIST, AND GETS HIM IN RIPCORD POSITION!

Rich Russillo: Drake King reels Walker into the RIPCORD KNEE STRIKE! Walker blocks the knee with his forearms, hoists KING UP INTO A FIREMAN’S CARRY! AND GOES FOR A SAMOAN DROP!!

James Peters: DRAKE KING SLIDES DOWN HIS SHOULDERS AND CLINCHES BOTH ARMS!! King HOISTS HIM UP WITH THE HALF NELSON! TURNS HIM AROUND AND DRILLS HIM DOWN INTO THE BACKBREAKER! CROWN OF THORNS! CROWN OF THORNS!

Persephone: ANDRE WALKER IS ABLE TO SLIP FROM HIS HANDS AT THE LAST SECOND AND WRAPS HIS ARMS AROUND THE NECK OF THE HALL OF FAMER!! **AND WALKER NOW HAS KING IN A SLEEPER HOLD**

Rich Russillo: Drake King is in deep, deep trouble as he has caught himself in a sleeper hold courtesy of the Kaiser! Imagine how embarrassing it would be and ego-crushing for Drake King to fall asleep at the hands of Andre Walker under the brightest lights at Pain For Pride! Drake knows how terrible that sounds, as he scratches and claws and looks for a way out! A rope break doesn’t work as this is no disqualification, but it could be his best bet!

James Peters: Drake King is able to keep his feet planted as he starts marching, almost like walking through quicksand towards the ropes! AND KING IS ABLE TO TOUCH BOTH HANDS WITH THE ROPES! THE KAISER LETS GO OF THE SLEEPER MOMENTARILY, BUT HE QUICKLY CHOPS BOTH OF HIS HANDS OFF THE ROPES.. HOLDS HIM BY THE WAIST!! AND DROPS HIM ONTO THE BACK OF HIS HEAD WITH A RELEASE GERMAN SUPLEX!

Rich Russillo: Drake King with an awkward landing onto the back of his head! He somehow quickly got up to his feet, feeling the impact and holding his hand! Andre Walker turns him around AND PUSH KICKS HIM IN THE CHEST! KING REBOUNDS OFF THE ROPES… Walker swinging in the balance to hit a laria— BUT KING FIRES BACK AND HITS A LARIAT OF HIS OWN!! AND WALKER GETS HIS HEAD NEARLY DECAPITATED!!

James Peters: BOTH MEN ARE DOWN! Andre Walker tries to readjust his jaw, shake off the cobwebs, and put himself back into the match after that earth-shattering clothesline from hell! Drake King rolls underneath the bottom rope and pulls up the apron sheets. He brings out even more steel chairs and as discreet as he can, slides them back into the squared circle. King with devious intentions as expected! King introduces a second table into the match and slides it into the ring with Andre Walker.

Persephone: The Kaiser is starting to get a sense of himself after that lariat while Drake King attempts to set up the table in the middle of the ring. Andre hears an Albert Hitchman callout about the table and instantly jerks around and STUNS KING IN THE GUT WITH A KICK! Walker then jabs him with an uppercut, momentarily stunning him in the corner turnbuckles as Walker plans his next move.

James Peters: Andre Walker turns around to complete setting up the half-set-up table, but he is turned around AND GETS CLOBBERED IN THE FACE WITH A NASTY FOREARM SMASH FROM DRAKE KING! Walker just got knocked into another dimension, but he almost likes it as he RETURNS THE FAVOR WITH A FOREARM SMASH OF HIS OWN! King lands another forearm smash! Walker with a forearm smash! Forearm smash! Forearm smash! A hockey fight here in Orlando!

Rich Russillo: DRAKE KING STARTS TO OVERLOAD ANDRE WALKER WITH THE FOREARM SMASHES! AND HE NOW SPINS AROUND FOR A DISCUS FOREARM SMASH!!

Persephone: ANDRE WALKER CLOCKS HIM WITH A CLEAN HEADBUTT!! KING FALLS TO BOTH KNEES AS NOW WALKER BACKS UP AND REBOUNDS OFF THE ROPES!!

James Peters: ANDRE WALKER LUNGES FORWARD FOR HUNGER ON HILLSIDE!

Rich Russillo: DRAKE KING STEPS OFF THE HALF-SET-UP TABLE WITH HIS LEFT FOOT.. AND IT SPRINGBOARDS HIM OVER THE SHOULDERS OF WALKER!! AND KING GRABS HIS HEAD!! AND DRILLS HIM ONTO THE BACK OF HIS HEAD WITH A BLOCKBUSTER! WHAT A COUNTER!

James Peters: Andre Walker was just about to split him into two with the Hunger in Hillside spear, but King resourcefully used the table as a jump-pad, which catapulted him over the reach of Walker and slamming him down with a blockbuster. Drake King gingerly gets up to his feet and rebounds off the ropes!

Persephone: AND DRAKE KING LOOKS FOR THE JUDGMENT DAY STOM–

James Peters: ANDRE WALKER STEPS TO THE SIDE! KING STOMPS THE CANVAS!! AND WALKER TRIES FOR ANOTHER SLEEPER HOLD!

Rich Russillo: Drake King successfully fights out of the sleeper hold with elbows to the back of the head! AND HE DEALS A DISCUS ELBOW TO WALKER! WALKER ALMOST FALLS TO THE GROUND, BUT THE ROPES KEEP HIM UP!! AND WALKER RESPONDS WITH A BIG KICK TO THE FACE!

James Peters: The EAW Hall of Famer falters into the corner… and now ANDRE WALKER RUNS TOWARDS HIM! Drake King reaches down for a back body drop! UPPP AND OVER! Walker holds onto the ropes and plants his feet on the apron! King turns around and gets hit with another strong headbutt! King retreats into the center of the ring!

Persephone: Andre Walker looking to get froggy here as he begins to ascend the turnbuckles! Whatever he has in plan here could potentially finish the match. What am I kidding. I am lying. Why is Andre Walker on the top rope!?

James Peters: Why not? GO BIG OR GO HOME! IT’S PAIN FOR PRID–

Rich Russillo: DRAKE KING LEAPS UP ONTO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE AND TRIES FOR A SUPERPLEX!!

James Peters: NO!! Andre Walker fends off the superplex attempt with repeated punches! King is staggered on the top turnbuckle, and Walker has something in mind!

Rich Russillo: ANDRE WALKER HOLDS DRAKE KING BY THE SIDE!! AND STEPS OFF THE TOP TURNBUCKLES!!

James Peters: OH MY GOD!! ANDRE WALKER JUST BENT DRAKE KING IN HALF ONTO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE WITH A URANAGE!!!

Persephone: THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL! THE WAY DRAKE KING’S FRAGILE BODY JUST CURVED AND BENT AGAINST THE TOP TURNBUCKLE WITH A URANAGE FROM THE KAISER!! ANDRE WALKER MAY HAVE JUST BROKEN HIS BACK!

James Peters: Drake King holding his lower back in pain and I feel him! A URANAGE ONTO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE.. AND NOW ANDRE WALKER SLOWLY WAITS FOR HIM TO FIND HIS FOOTING!

Rich Russillo: Drake King uses the ropes to prop himself up to his feet and turns around to SEE ANDRE WALKER STEPPING OFF THE HALF-SET-UP TABLE!! AND DESCENDING DOWN!! AND HE CONNECTS WITH THE SUPERMAN PUNCH!! KING FALLS LIKE A SACK OF POTATOES AS WALKER GOES FOR THE COVER!

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

James Peters: DRAKE KING GETS HIS SHOULDER UP! Andre Walker doesn’t let the kick-out get to his head, as he is now starting to understand the caliber of a talent that is within his opponent here tonight! He was able to kick out of a Superman Punch following a spine-breaking uranage onto the top turnbuckle, and we all know that Walker is going to bring more out of his arsenal in order to put down the Messiah!

Rich Russillo: On one side of the ring, Drake King looks up at the headlights and tries to regain the feeling with his fingers. On the other side, Andre Walker has leaned up the table against the turnbuckles near Drake King… and Walker, happy with what he’s prepared, KICKS KING RIGHT IN THE MIDSECTION! King rolls away, inadvertently right in front of the table, but that might have been brilliantly done on purpose by the Kaiser!

James Peters: AND ANDRE WALKER HAS HIM FOR THE PICKINGS! AS HE NOW STORMS OUT OF THE CORNER!! AND LOOKS TO PUT DRAKE KING ON HUNGER ON HILLSIDE–

Persephone: DRAKE KING WITH A SUPERKICK!! BUT ANDRE WALKER HAD IT SCOUTED AND GRABS HIS FOOT!!

James Peters: Andre Walker throws his foot away.. King uses the momentum to follow it up with a rolling enziguri! WALKER DUCKS UNDER IT! King falls on the ground! AND THE KAISER NOW PLUCKS HIM OFF THE GROUND WITH A DEADLIFT GERMAN SUPLE–

Rich Russillo: DRAKE KING LANDS ON HIS FEET!! AND WALKER, I BELIEVE CAN SENSE HIS GERMAN SUPLEX DID NOT CONNECT AS HE TURNS AROUND!

James Peters: ANDRE WALKER IS ABLE TO GET UP TO HIS FEET AND SWINGS FOR A LARIAT! DRAKE KING DUCKS UNDER IT!! AND HE NOW REBOUNDS OFF THE ROPES!! RUNS PAST THE KAISER AGAIN!! KING IS BUILDING UP MOMENTUM!

Persephone: AND DRAKE KING SHOOTS FOR THE GUILLOTINE KICK!!

James Peters: NO!! ANDRE WALKER BLOCKED IT BY SIMPLY GRABBING HIS FOOT!! DRAKE KING IS SHOCKED!! Walker smirks down at him, before pushing back on his foot and rolling his opponent backup to his feet! AND WALKER REBOUNDS OFF THE ROPES!!

Persephone: HUNGER ON HILLSIDE!! COME ON!!

James Peters: DRAKE KING JUMPS OVER HIS SHOULDERS!! AND PULLS HIM DOWN WITH A SCHOOL-BOY!!

Rich Russillo: THE REF COULDN’T EVEN GET ONE COUNT IN AS KING INTENTIONALLY LET GO!!! AND KING GOES FOR THE JUDGMENT DAY STOMP!!

James Peters: ANDRE WALKER JUMPS UP AT THE SAME TIME!! AND SUPERMAN PUNCH CONNECTS RIGHT ON THE DOT!!! DRAKE KING IS OUT!! DRAKE KING IS OUT!

Rich Russillo: AND ANDRE WALKER DOESN’T GO FOR THE PIN AS HE BACKS UP INTO THE CORNER!!

Persephone: WALKER WITH THE WARCRY!! AS HE NOW STORMS OUT OF THE CORNER FOR THE SPEAR!!!

James Peters: HUNGER ON HILLSIDE!!! IT FINALLY CONNECTS!!

……

..

.

Rich Russillo: WHAT!! DRAKE KING CAUGHT WALKER’S HEAD IN BETWEEN HIS LEGS AND REVERSED THE SPEAR INTO A POWERBOMB POSITION!!!! OH MY GOD!! THE POWER OF THE MESSIAH!!

James Peters: DRAKE KING CARRIES A BEWILDERED KAISER ON HIS SHOULDERS!! AND HE THROWS ANDRE WALKER INTO THE TABLE WITH A POWERBOMB!!! KING PULLS WALKER OUT OF THE DEBRIS AND GETS THE PIN!

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

Persephone: AH!!! ANDRE WALKER GETS IT UP BEFORE THREE!!

James Peters: Drake King pulling deep out of his bag to hit a freak display of strength there as he managed to reverse the momentum of the Hunger on Hillside spear into a powerbomb! Well played by the Messiah, but not enough to take down the Kaiser.

Rich Russillo: Drake King gathers and consolidates all of the steel chairs around the ring into one pile before kicking Andre Walker in the midsection. Drake King tries for a SUPLEX ONTO THE CHAIRS! ANDRE WITH FISTS TO THE RIBS.. AND A PUNCH TO THE FACE, FENDING OFF THE SUPLEX!

James Peters: Drake King turns Andre Walker around! He goes for an INVERTED STO! Drake possibly looking to transition him into the Koji Clutch???

Persephone: ANDRE WALKER REVERSES IT INTO A SLEEPER! AND DRAKE TRYING TO FIGHT OUT OF IT, BUT WALKER SAW IT COMING AS HE NOW STARTS TO POUND THE CHEST OF THE MESSIAH WITH OPEN-HAND CHOPS!

James Peters: AND ANDRE LOCKS IN THE SLEEPER HOLD! AND HE MOUNTS ONTO THE BACK OF DRAKE! DRAKE DOES HIS BEST AND THRUSTS ANDRE BACKWARDS INTO THE CORNER TURNBUCKLES!!

Persephone: BUT THE IDIOT FORGOT THIS IS A NO DISQUALIFICATION MATCH! THERE IS NO ROPE BREAK!

Rich Russillo: Drake didn’t forget as he is able to get his hands on one of the leftover chairs underneath the bottom rope! AND HE WHIPS IT BACKWARDS AND THE EDGE OF THE CHAIR NAILS THE CROWN OF THE HEAD OF WALKER! WALKER IS STUNNED ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE!!

Persephone: Drake King now backs off while Walker is staggered sitting on the turnbuckle.. BEFORE HE JUMPS UP AND TRIES FOR THE SUPERPLEX!

Rich Russillo: BUT IT IS DENIED YET AGAIN AS ANDRE WALKER SHOVED HIM OFF THE TOP TURNBUCKLE!

Persephone: DRAKE LANDED ON HIS FEET! AND NAILS ANDRE WALKED WITH A SUPERKICK THAT SENDS HIM FALLING OFF THE TURNBUCKLE!

Rich Russillo: Andre, however holds onto the ropes and was able to land safely onto the apron!! He is still stunned from the Superkick AND DRAKE JUMPS ONTO THE MIDDLE ROPE AND QUICKLY GRABS HIM!

James Peters: AND DRAKE KING WITH ALL HIS MIGHT! AND MUSCLES THE KAISER OFF THE APRON.. AND DRIVES HIM DOWN INTO THE RING WITH A DEADLIFT SUPERPLEX FROM THE APRON!!

Persephone: OK! THAT POWER WAS KIND OF IMPRESSIVE! HE’S NOT DONE YET AS HE ROLLS BACKWARDS FOR THAT DAMN FALCON ARRO-

James Peters: NOOO! AS DRAKE KING MAINTAINED THE SUPLEX HOLD AND ROLLED BACKWARDS TO HIT THE FALCON ARROW COMBINATION, WALKER TRAPPED HIS WAIST WITH HIS LEGS AND CINCHED IN THE GUILLOTINE CHOKE HOLD! NOT GOOD!

Rich Russillo: Drake King can’t catch a break as Andre Walker refuses to let him get the upper hand as we could be seconds away from King passing out and ceding the match to the Kaiser!

James Peters: BUT DRAKE KING POWERS THROUGH THE AGONY AS HE PLUCKS THE KAISER OFF THE CANVAS YET AGAIN!

Persephone: BUT ANDRE STRENGTHENS THE CONSTRICTING HOLD HE HAS ON THE NECK!! AND DRAKE GETS DIZZY AND LOSES HIS BALANCE! CHOKE HIM TO DEATH RIGHT NOW!! TODAY!! RIGHT NOW!! TODAY.

James Peters: AND DRAKE KING IS STARTING TO LOSE CONCIOUSNESS AS ANDRE WALKER CONTINUES TO SHUT OFF THE OXYGEN SUPPLY TO THE BRAIN!

Persephone: AND DRAKE KING PASSES OUT!

James Peters: NOO! DRAKE KING BALLS UP HIS FIST AND STARTS GETTING UP TO HIS FEET! ANDRE IS STARSTRUCK, TUGGING HARDER, BUT IT DOESNT PHASE THE GOD HIMSELF!

Rich Russillo: AND DRAKE REVERSES THE GUILLOTINE CHOKE HOLD AND HOISTS HIM UP INTO A SUPLEX POSITION..

Persephone: AND DRAKE KING SLAMS ANDRE WALKER DOWN ONTO THE PILE OF STEEL CHAIRS WITH A FALCON ARROW!! COVER!!

ONE!!

TWOOOOO!!

THREEEEE!!!

Rich Russillo: KICKOUT!! DRAKE KING ALMOST GOT HIM! Andre Walker now instinctively rolls out of the ring with King following in pursuit.

James Peters: DRAKE KING WITH A SUPERKICK TO THE JAW OF WALKER.. Walker staggers closer towards a table at ringside and DRAKE NAILS HIM WITH A SECOND SUPERKICK THAT HAS THE KAISER NOW SPRAWLED ACROSS THE TABLE..

Rich Russillo: AND DRAKE KING MAKING SURE HES DOWN AS HE TAPS HIM WITH ANOTHER SUPERKICK AND ANDRE WALKER IS OUT!!

James Peters: AND DRAKE KING LOOKING TO MAKE A MOMENT HERE AS HE LOOKS TO THE TABLE THEM LOOKS UP AT THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! HE SMIRKS AS THE CROWD CHEERS!!

Persephone: HES GOING TO JUMP OFF THE TOP TURNBUCKLE AND DIVE FOR HIS DEATH!

James Peters: NOT QUITE! BUT THAT MIGHT BE THE RESULT IF THIS LEAP OF FAITH GOES WRONG! DRAKE KING IS NOW PERCHED ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE!!

( Albert Hitchman tries to grab Drake King’s foot, but Drake kicks him in the face. )

Persephone: THE WALRUS TRIED TO GET UP ALL IN THE BUSINESS OF DRAKE AND GOT KICKED IN HIS FACE!

James Peters: THE DISTRACTION FAILED AS NOW DRAKE RETURNS TO HIS FULL FOOTING ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE..

Rich Russillo: AND DRAKE KING FLIPS BACKWARDS.. AND CRUSHES ANDRE WALKER THROUGH THE TABLE WITH A **PHOENIX SPLASH!!**

…..

..

.

**CRASH**

James Peters: ANDRE WALKER MOVES OUT OF THE WAY AND DRAKE KING JUST CRASH LANDED INTO THE TABLE!!

Persephone: HES DEAD!!

Rich Russillo: AND ANDRE WALKER JUST REALIZED THE URGENCY OF THE SITUATION AND QUICKLY BRINGS DRAKE KING BACK INTO THE RING!!

James Peters: ALBERT HITCHMAN’S DISTRACTION ON THE APRON MUST HAVE PROVIDED ENOUGH TIME FOR ANDRE TO COLLECT HIS WITS AND GET OUT OF HARMS WAY!

Rich Russillo: AND NOW ANDRE WALKER RUNS THE ROPES!!

Persephone: ANDRE WALKER SPLITS DRAKE IN HALF WITH HUNGER ON HILLSIDE!! THAT IS IT!!

Rich Russillo: GUILLOTINE!! DRAKE JUST BEHEADED ANDRE WALKER WITH THE GUILLOTINE KICK AS HE FALLS FOR THE COVER!!

ONEEEEEE!!!

TWOOOOOO!!

THREEEEEEE!!

James Peters: ANDRE WALKER POPS HIS SHOULDER UP! DRAKE KING HAS SURELY DONE HIS HOMEWORK AS HE HAS ANSWERED THE HUNGER ON HILLSIDE EVERY SINGLE TIME THIS MATCH!!

(Drake sits up in disbelief over what just happened as he looks over at the referee. But the referee confirms to him that it was in fact a kick out by Andre and the match continues. Drake shakes his head, but in his mind he also knows that this is the closest that he’ll get to securing a win in this match, and he’s going to have to make good on that.)

Rich Russillo: Andre Walker as well as he has refused to be stomped into the canvas! We all thought the end was near when Drake King plummeted through the table, but there is a reason why King is considered one of the greatest to ever do it! He chops the Kaiser down with the guillotine, but Walker reaches deep inside to get his shoulder up!

James Peters: Drake King gets up to his feet and starts brainstorming on his next move, He looks around, perhaps finding motivation in the sea of people here at Pain For Pride, and it instantly clicks in him for to grab a steel chair..

Rich Russillo: AND HE SMASHES IT OVER THE BACK OF THE KAISER!! OVER AND OVER AGAIN..

James Peters: AND DRAKE NOW STOPS THE ONSLAUGHT OF CHAIR SHOTS AND GRABS A FRESH CHAIR!!

Rich Russillo: AND HE SITS UP THE CHAIR AND LEANS ANDRE WALKER’S HEAD ON IT!! HES GOING TO STOMP HIS SKULL INTO THAT CHAIR!

James Peters: DRAKE KING RUNS OFF.. REBOUNDS OFF THE ROPES!! JUDGMENT DAY!!

Rich Russillo: HUNGER ON HILLSIDE!! ANDRE WALKER DOVE RIGHT INTO HIM IN MID-AIR AND DECIMATED HIM WITH THE SPEAR!! IT IS OVER!!

ONEEEEE!!!

TWOOOOOO!!

THREEEEEE!!

….

..

.

Persephone: DRAKE KING KICKS OUT?!?!? WHAT!?!? HOW IN THE HELL DID HE DO THAT!!

Rich Russillo: ANDRE WALKER HAS DOMINATED MANY OF HIS COMPETITION WITH THE HUNGER ON HILLSIDE!! BUT TODAY, DRAKE KING PROVES HIMSELF AS COMPETITION THAT HE HAS NEVER FACED BEFORE!!!

James Peters: Albert Hitchman is still neutralized from that kick to the face as Andre Walker is figuring out what next to do. Drake King remains frozen up after the devastating spear and you can tell that Andre did not at all take kindly to that. He roils over and mounts on top of Drake before beginning to rain down strikes repeatedly against his face!

Rich Russillo: Drake is bringing his hands up, desperately trying to block it while he can, but it’s clear that he can only do so much as he’s been put in this situation right now! Andre is just tearing into him and it’s not long before he brings him back up to his feet… BEFORE SENDING HIM ACROSS THE RING WITH A BIEL THROW!

James Peters: Drake tumbles down to the ground but quickly seizes one of the ropes to stop himself just in time. He rises back up, not particularly in the business of giving in just yhet… BUT ANDRE LOOKS TO NOT GIVE HIM A CHOICE AS HE RUSHES FORWARD AND SENDS HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE AND OUT OF THE RING WITH A CLOTHESLINE TO THE HEAD!

(Drake tumbles down hurt as he clutches onto the announcer’s table. He didn’t expect to be taken out like this by Andre but of course, that’s just the power of ‘The Kaiser’ at work. Andre starts trash talking him as he grabs him by the head…)

Rich Russillo: ANDRE SENDS HIM TUMBLING OVER THE ANNOUNCERS TABLE AND TOWARD US! OH MY GOD!

Persephone: AH! GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM ME!

(Andre chuckles as he spreads his arms out, embracing the crowd that’s booing him while he does. He soaks in the atmosphere of the momenty right now before shaking his head. He knows that he has a firm control on this match, and would like to keep this going for as long as possible while he has the chance.)

(But what he doesn’t see behind him… is Drake King slowly rise back up to his feet as he grips a steel chair in his hand from the timekeeper’s area…)

(CRACK!)

James Peters: DRAKE JUST TOOK THE CHAIR AND SMASHED IT AGAINST THE BACK OF ANDRE! ANDRE COLLAPSES DOWN TO THE GROUND BEFORE DRAKE LIFTS IT OFF THE GROUND AND CONNECTS WITH IT AGAIN! ‘THE KAISER’ IS WRITHING IN PAIN AS DRAKE CONTINUES TO DRIVE THE CHAIR REPEATELDY INTO THE ABDOMEN OF DRAKE! KNOWING EXACTLY WHAT HE NEEDS TO DO IF HE WANTS TO GET BACK ON TRACK RIGHT NOW!

Rich Russillo: Drake then grabs Andre by the head… BEFORE SENDING HIM AGAINST THE STEEL STEPS WITH AUTHORITY! THE FORCE OF THE ATTACK TOPPLES THE TOP HALF OF IT OVER AS ANDRE STAGGERS FORWARD!

James Peters: Drake is quick to round the ring before grabbing a hold of Andre, he’s lifting him off the ground now with the remaining bit of strength that he has left… BEFORE TRYING TO SEND HIM INTO THE BARRICADE WITH A VICIOUS BUCKLE BOMB!

Rich Russillo: BUT ANDRE PUSHES OFF OF HIS SHOULDERS AND LANDS BEHIND HIM! DRAKE TURNS AROUND… BUT BEFORE HE CAN DO ANYTHING ANDRE GRABS HIM AND LIFTS HIM OFF THE GROUND BEFORE LANDING A BACK SUPLEX ONTO THE EDGE OF THE BARRICADE WHICH LEAVES DRAKE CRYING IN PAIN!

James Peters: Drake is hurt as Andre slides him back into the ring, and immediately he’s formulating what he wants to do next.

Persephone: He’s getting those steel steps and tossing them into the ring! YES! CRUSH HIM! CRUSH HIM! CRUSH HIM! CRUSH HIM!

Rich Russillo: At this point, Drake King has begun to regain feeling back as he’s slowly rising back up to his feet, and I think he knows what’s about to happen here and I don’t think he’s really going to like it! He holds his ribs in pain and aggressively coughs while Andre Walker slides into the ring.

James Peters: Drake King is able to grab one of the damaged steel chairs and slowly uses it to prop himself up to his feet. Meanwhile, Andre Walker lifts the steel steps over his head.. AND HE DRIVES IT INTO THE SIDE OF DRAKE KING!! KING GOES DOWN!

Rich Russillo: Andre Walker doesn’t let go of the steel steps as he now waits for King to find the energy to get back up to his feet.. AND WALKER SMASHES THE STEEL STEPS.. THIS TIME INTO THE BACK OF DRAKE KING!!

Persephone: THIS IS WHAT I LIKE! ANDRE WALKER IS LOOKING TO BRING DRAKE KING TO A PERMANENT END AS HE WANTS A THIRD HIT!

( Drake King, shaking and trembling, still has the energy to use the ropes to get up to his feet. He leans against the turnbuckles and taunts Andre Walker. )

Rich Russillo: AND LOOK AT DRAKE KING! HE IS INCITING THE KAISER TO FINISH HIM OFF!! ASK AND YOU SHALL RECEIVE!!

Persephone: ANDRE WALKER SMASHES THE STEEL STEPS INTO THE JAW OF DRAKE KING! THAT IS IT!

**SMASH!!**

Rich Russillo: DRAKE KING DROPPED DOWN AND NAILED HIM IN THE KNEE WITH A KICK!

Persephone: AND ANDRE TRIPS AND FALLS RIGHT ONTO THE STEEL STEPS!!

Rich Russillo: ANDRE ROLLS AWAY.. KICKING IN PAIN AND HOLDING HIS JAW!! THAT MIGHT HAVE DISLOCATED HIS JAW!!

Persephone: JUDGMENT DAY!!! DRAKE GAVE HIM NO TIME TO BREATHE AND STOMPED HIS SKULL INTO THE MAT!!

ONE!!!

TWOOOO!

THREEEEE!!

…..

..

.

Rich Russillo: ALBERT HITCHMAN PULLS THE REFEREE OUT OF THE RING AT THE LAST POSSIBLE SECOND!!

James Peters: AND IT IS PERFECTLY LEGAL!!! AND HE MIGHT HAVE SAVED THE COJONES OF THE KAISER!! DRAKE CANT BELIEVE IT AS HE IS INFURIATED!!

Rich Russillo: DRAKE KING TUGS ONTO THE COLLAR OF ALBERT HITCHMAN-

James Peters: ANDRE WALKER GOES OVER THE TOP ROPE AND DIVES ONTO DRAKE KING!!

Rich Russillo: DRAKE KING PULLS ALBERT HITCHMAN INTO HARM’S WAY!

James Peters: AND ALBERT HITCHMAN IS SQUASHED UNDER THE WEIGHT OF ANDRE WALKER!!

Rich Russillo: ANDRE CANT BELIEVE IT AS HE TURNS AROUND AND EATS A SUPERKICK!!

Persephone: DRAKE BRINGS HIM BACK INTO THE RING AND GOES FOR JUDGMENT DAY!!

Rich Russillo: SUPERMAN PUNCH!! ANDRE GOT HIM AGAIN! DRAKE NOW INADVERTENDLY CLIMBS ONTO THE STEPS FOR SUPPORT!!

James Peters: ANDRE WALKER RUNS UP THE STEPS AND HITS HUNGER ON HILLSIDE OFF THE STEPS!!

Rich Russillo: DRAKE KING COUNTERS THE SPEAR OFF THE STEPS INTO AN ASCENSION PEDIGREE!!

James Peters: HOW THE HELL DID HE DO THAT! HE JUMPED UP AND GOT HIS LEGS OVER THE HEAD IN MID AIR TO HIT THE ASCENSION OFF THE STEPS!

Rich Russillo: ANDRE USES THE STEPS TO GET UP TO ONE KNEE…

Persephone: DRAKE WITH A STOMP ONTO THE STEEL STEPS!! JUDGMENT DAY CONNECTS!

ONEEEEEE!!

TWOOOOO!!!

THREEE!!!!!!!!!!!

( DING! DING! DING! )

(“When Darkness Falls” by Killswitch Engage hits to an ear-deafening pop as Drake King let’s go of Andre Walker’s leg in relief.)

Bella Braxton: HERE IS YOUR WINNER.. DRAKE KING!!

James Peters: DRAKE KING HAS DONE IT!! HE HAS BEATEN ANDRE WALKER!!

Rich Russillo: IN A HARD AND PHYSICAL MATCH, WE NOW HAVE FOUND THE ANSWER TO WHO IS SUPERIOR BETWEEN THE KAISER AND THE MESSIAH.. AND DRAKE KING STANDS TALL!!

James Peters: Both of these elitists took each other to their absolute limits, bringing their sanities to places it has never been before, but it is Drake King who was able to withstand the chaos of the Kaiser and stand tall as the victor.

Persephone: That was a good match. Bravo for the steel steps usage!! Should’ve just smashed Drakes face into it over and over but that’s just me!

Rich Russillo: There was many moments in this match where we felt any of these men could’ve won, with Andre dominating a good chunk of this match, but Drake outsmarted the Kaiser and outmanuevered him into the victory! Congratulations to Drake on this well fought victory!!

(The last shot seen is of Drake King spreading his arms out in celebration as the camera then begins to fade out from there.)

(https://i.imgur.com/5rl30TM.png)

(The lights dim down as ‘Kashmir’ by Led Zepplin hits. A mixed reaction fills the arena before a lone spotlight focuses on the center of the stage, where a man approaches it. Eventually, as the song kicks into gear, the lights come back to normal and Jamie O’Hara is seen. The Ace is all confident, having a smirk on his face. He soaks in the Pain for Pride atmosphere, though he has no intentions of letting this be his last one. He heads down the ramp and approaches the ring afterwards.)

Stew-O: The stakes in this match are insane. It’s title versus career, where if Jamie were to lose, his career ends tonight. However, Jamie was willing to put it on the line if it meant he got to beat Myles and win the EAW World Heavyweight Championship – a title he is more than familiar with.

Jake Mercer: You are all looking at the man who has held that championship more than anybody else in the history of this decorated promotion’s life. Jamie would love nothing more than to not only win that title, but to further solidify his legacy here in the main event of Pain for Pride, and do so at the expense of a man who has been compared to him for years: Myles.

Flannery McCoy: That loss at Territorial Invasion to Myles never sat well with Jamie, and he was determined to turn things around. Of course, such a motive and led him to do some things that haven’t sat well with many fans, from attacking Myles at his wedding, to visiting his parents’ graves. It’s been countless mind games and attacks, and some are wondering if Jamie is doing himself a disservice going through those lengths to rile Myles up.

Stew-O: Perhaps he did, or perhaps he didn’t. At least tonight, we’ll see if Jamie is able to make all that he has done to Myles worth it by winning tonight, and not only preserve his career, but take it to new heights for himself.

(Jamie gets in the ring and approaches his corner, leaning against it. Soon, ‘Enemy Strike’ by Yuki Hayashi blares out. The fans cheer as a ready Myles walks out, not wasting time. He didn’t care about the pageantry or the glamour of Pain for Pride. All he saw was red, and that color wasn’t going away the moment his gaze sets on Jamie in the ring. The champion storms down, more than ready to go.)

Stew-O: And here is Myles, who walks with purpose as he heads down to the ring. This is a stage he is more than familiar with as this is his third consecutive Pain for Pride main event. However, this time around, the title may not mean as much as compared to revenge. We have all see what Jamie has done, and Myles has been pushed to his wits end time after time again. No doubt about it that when the match starts, fireworks are going to be set off.

Jake Mercer: Yeah, Myles is intense here. He’s usually focused whenever he heads into a match, but this is *different*. It’s like a storm is brewing inside, and it’s threatning to spill out. :lupe:

Flannery McCoy: It’s what the entire world has been anticipating. Myles is not in a celebratory mood for getting to headline his third straight Pain for Pride. He just wants to go after Jamie and make him pay for the things he’s done.

(Myles slides inside of the ring and immediately storms over towards Jamie. However, the referee puts themselves in between them, getting the champion to back up. Myles looks frustrated, but he listens, going to his corner. He unclasps the title from his waist and crouches down. Stephie Love is in the ring, and she kicks it all off.)

Stephie Love: The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!

Crowd: ONE FALL!

Stephie Love: And it is a title versus career match for the EAW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP!

Crowd: :blessed:

Stephie Love: Introducing first, the challenger! Weighing in at 190 pounds, he is ‘The Ace’, JAAAAAAAMMMMMIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEE O’HAAAAAAAAAAARAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

Stephie Love: And his opponent, as well as the defending champion! From Melbourne, Australia, weighing in tonight at 225 pounds… he is ‘Peak’, and he is the EAW World Heavyweight Champion… MYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEES!

(The fans are pumped. Stephie leaves the ring, and the anticipation builds as a bitter rivalry is about to culminate. The referee checks on both Elitists before they signal for the bell!)

(DING DING DING!)

(Myles and Jamie looked at one another. Myles, unsurprisingly, saw nothing but red as he stared at the man who has dedicated much of his time to make his life a living hell. Meanwhile, Jamie was unbothered. There is a cool confidence radiating from the Ace, not all concerned by the idea that Myles would do whatever it takes to get his revenge. He remains in his corner, unfazed by everything, and certainly unfazed by the crowd who are leaning heavily towards supporting the defending champion.)

Stew-O: The bell rings and here we are. This is the official start of one of the most anticipated EAW World Heavyweight Championship matches of all time. Jamie. Myles. It just doesn’t get any bigger than this.

Jake Mercer: You can just see how these two are glaring at each other. I don’t even think a knife will be enough to cut through this tension that’s evident. You might need a chainsaw or some other kind of powerful tool!

Flannery McCoy: It’s been one consistent month of making things personal. Jamie ruined what was supposed to be the happiest day of Myles’ life, and ever since then, Myles has been hell bent on getting his revenge. In fact, it almost looks like he’s *trembling*. Not out of fear or nerves, but out of *rage*. That is how bad things have gotten between him and Jamie O’Hara.

Stew-O: All the while, Jamie remains cool, if not a little bit smug. You can see that a slight smirk is beginning to creep upon the face of the Ace. He knows he has been able to rile Myles up.

Jake Mercer: Hell, with how pissed off Myles has been, I’m surprised he isn’t rushing out of the gate to attack Jamie right away. He steps forward, as does Jamie, and the two men meet right in the ring. The Ace still has that smirk on his face, whereas the champion isn’t amused at all with his attitude.

Flannery McCoy: And here we go! Myles initiates contact first as he fires off with a forearm shot to the face! Jamie staggers! However, he doesn’t have time to defend himself as Myles continues to be the aggressor, striking him repeatedly with those shots! Myles is trying to harness that rage he has in a concentrated manner as he kicks Jamie in the gut and takes him by the wrist! He whips him towards the ropes —

Stew-O: But Jamie is able to reverse it! He sends the champion running instead, and he comes back from the ropes! The Ace looks to strike with a dropkick —

Jake Mercer: – ONLY FOR MYLES TO REDIRECT HIMSELF! Jamie hits the canvas, and Myles comes rushing in after bouncing from the left side of the ring! Single-leg dropkick to the side of the head —

Flannery McCoy: NO! Jamie rolls out of the way! Myles pops up, but so does he, and this time, Jamie is able to catch him with a forearm of his own! Myles takes a couple of steps back as a result of that shot! Jamie rushes forward, looking to strike a second time!

Stew-O: But in the process, he runs right into a kick to the gut again, and Myles follows that up with an uppercut! He yanks Jamie, pulls him in, and lifts him up into a suplex!

Jake Mercer: Jamie though is fighting! He’s squirming! Myles is losing his grip, and that allows for the Ace to land right behind him! He wraps his arms around his waist! Myles runs forward, going for the ropes. He grabs onto the top rope, looking to have Jamie get off of him –

Flannery McCoy: – But Jamie is able to roll him backwards, and he raises him up for a GERMAN SUPLEX!

Stew-O: NO! MYLES LANDS ON HIS FEET! JAMIE TURNS AROUND —

Jake Mercer: BICYCLE KNEE CHECKS HIM!!! JAMIE GOES TUMBLING OUT OF THE RING AND LANDS ON THE OUTSIDE FLOOR, HOLDING ONTO HIS CHIN, AND THE FANS HERE HAVE COME UNGLUED! WHAT A BIG SHOT THAT WAS BY THE CHAMPION!

Flannery McCoy: And the champion is in hot pursuit of his challenger! Myles wastes little time as he slips out of the ring to get to Jamie, who’s trying to recover from that unexpected move! Myles strikes him over the exposed back repeatedly, not holding anything back! And he just lands a stiff stomp to the spine to boot! Myles isn’t playing any games here against the man who has gone ahead and made his life a living hell for over a month!

Stew-O: Myles is incensed at this rate! He can barely contain himself! He continues to clobber Jamie until he’s decided he’s had enough! He leads him back up to his feet and WHIPS HIM INTO THE BARRICADE! THE ACE COLLIDES HARD AGAINST THAT SOLID SURFACE SPINE FIRST!

Jake Mercer: And you can start to see the pain starting to mount from early on as Jamie drops down to a seated position! He’s doing the best he can to shake it off, but I don’t know if he has enough time to do so, because Myles is looking straight at him, and he’s ready to strike yet again!

Flannery McCoy: He is! Myles charges forward, AND HE’S GOING TO SMASH HIS KNEE INTO HIS SKULL!!!

(***CRAAAAAAAAASSSSSSH!!!***)

Stew-O: NO! AT THE LAST POSSIBLE SECOND, JAMIE O’HARA WAS ABLE TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY! MYLES COLLIDES WITH THE BARRICADE INSTEAD, AND WITH HOW FAST HE WAS GOING, ALL OF THAT IMPACT AFFECTED HIS KNEE! THE CHAMPION STAGGERS, ALMOST FALLING, AS HE REALIZES WHAT JUST HAPPENED!

Jake Mercer: Oh no, and look! From behind! Jamie is in prime position! He comes on in and CHOPS MYLES DOWN WITH A FOREARM TO THE BACK OF THE KNEE! MYLES GOES DOWN! AND JUST LIKE THAT IN A BLINK OF AN EYE, MYLES’ EAGERNESS SERVED TO BACKFIRE ON HIM!

Flannery McCoy: It was like on a flip of a dime! Myles is trying to get back up, but Jamie O’Hara has him beaten to the punch. He grabs him and throws him back into the ring, following not long after. Jamie immediately goes to that right knee and brings his own knee down onto it! Then again! He’s trying to do as much damage as possible from early on now that there is a weak spot he can target!

Stew-O: For a third time, he drops his knee down onto Myles, but this time, he doesn’t get back up! Applying all of that bodyweight pressure to that part, he grabs Myles by the ankle and TWISTS it! Looks like he have a hold here as Jamie is looking to break him down!

Jake Mercer: It looks excruciating already, but the Warlord isn’t going to give up! He’s far too mad to do that! He reaches over and punches Jamie anywhere he can – the shoulder, arm, chest, it doesn’t matter! He’s just looking to attack him wherever he’s able to at this rate!

Flannery McCoy: Some of those shots are connecting, others are glancing. However, Jamie is persistent in his own right, and he comes to a stand – DOUBLE FOOT STOMP TO THE KNEE! OH MY GOD! THAT WAS BRUTAL!

Stew-O: AND YOU CAN SEE THE PAIN ON MYLES’ FACE AS HE SCOOTS BACK, FAVORING THAT! I DIDN’T THINK THAT I WOULD SEE IT, BUT HE COULD BE IN TROUBLE HERE!

Jake Mercer: Yeah, absolutely a problematic situation for the champion here. However, that just means that Jamie has been able to create a lasting impact in this match, in more ways than one, and now, that knee is going to be his prime target. :lupe: Jamie is already walking towards him as he looks to strike again — Oh! But Myles is able to kick him square in the face! Jamie staggers back, holding onto his nose!

Flannery McCoy: AND FROM THERE, MYLES GETS UP AND TACKLES HIM TO THE MAT! HE FIRES OFF WITH FOREARMS AFTER FOREARMS, LOOKING TO BATTER JAMIE IN THE FACE! HE’S MUCH MORE RABID THIS TIME AROUND AND HE’S GOING TO TOWN! NO RESTRAINTS WHATSOEVER!

Stew-O: Jamie seems to be overwhelmed! He wasn’t expecting that! He brings his forearms up to his head, doing his best to block most of those incoming shots! However, some of them are still peppering their way towards him! Myles isn’t backing down!

Jake Mercer: Oh man, it’s like a whole different side of him has been unlocked now. No doubt that it was only going to be inevitable that Myles would reach this point, and possibly getting hurt as spurred him to do all that he can to punish Jamie as quickly as possible!

Flannery McCoy: But Jamie is able to push him off! Jamie crawls back towards the ropes, using them to help himself up! However, Myles comes on in, ready to strike!

Stew-O: KICK TO THE KNEE! KICK TO THE KNEE! MYLES DROPS DOWN TO ONE LEG! AND JAMIE COMES IN, CAVING HIS CHEST IN WITH THE RUNNING DOUBLE STOMP! MYLES IS DOWN! JAMIE LOOKS DOWN AT HIM, SHAKING HIS HEAD.

Jamie O’Hara: (off-mic) You emotional fool. When are you going to learn to coming after me in such a manner is only stupid?

Jake Mercer: Oh man, and just like that, Jamie is back to that right knee! He lays in a series of vicious stomps before sealing the deal with a kick straight to it! Myles flinches! Jamie grabs him by the ankle and rolls him through, closing the distance with a sharp knee straight to the jaw! That’s able to level the champion, and Jamie goes in for the first cover of the match!

Referee: ONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE —

Flannery McCoy: Nope, shoulder up! No way Myles was going to let him get the victory that easily!

Stew-O: Myles is perhaps one of the most endurant Elitists in the history of this promotion, but Jamie was only just getting started. The Ace gets back up, circling around the Warlord who is trying to gather his bearings. However, Jamie uses his foot to diiiiiiig into the knee, causing Myles to react and grit his teeth in pain! He crouches down, looking directly at him, almost in a mocking manner! The fans start to boo, not liking this display whatsoever.

Jake Mercer: It’s like he’s toying with him at this rate, and Myles can sense that. He glares right at Jamie, and throws his hand back, READY TO SLAP HIM ACROSS THE FACE —

Flannery McCoy: BUT JAMIE IS ABLE TO CATCH THE HAND! HE CATCHES IT, AND NOW, HE HAS A FIRM GRASP ON MYLES’ WRIST! HE STARTS TO STOMP DOWN ON HIS HEAD AND FACE REPEATEDLY, AND MYLES IS DOING WHAT HE CAN TO DEFEND HIMSELF, BUT THOSE STOMPS ARE GETTING TO HIM!

Stew-O: AND IT’S ALMOST LIKE THE BACK OF THE HEAD IS BOUNCING OFF OF THE CANVAS! MYLES IS LOOKING LIKE HE’S GETTING A BIT WEAK FROM THIS!

Jake Mercer: The Ace FINALLY relents, but Myles looks out of it! Jamie sees this, and once more, he can’t help but to have a smirk on his face. Still, he’s far from done. He walks over to Myles and leads him back up to his feet before he brings him up… BANG! Saito suplex! Myles lands on the back of his head from that move!

Flannery McCoy: Jamie floats over to the lower half of Myles’ body, eyeing that knee again. He grabs the leg and cinches in a kneebar! Whether he intends on making Myles tap or not, it does not matter! He’s applying more pressure and making sure that it hurts!

Stew-O: And you can see how much it’s starting to compound on Myles. The longer he’s stuck in this position, the more damage is being done! The referee asks him if he wants to give up, but he shakes his head, refusing to do so! Myles grits his teeth, balls his hands into fists, and drives this knuckles into the canvas, looking to drag himself closer towards the ropes!

Jake Mercer: Oh man, great awareness by the champion, as he’s doing what he can to hustle and get out of this! He’s inching closer and closer to the ropes! He just might reach them —

Flannery McCoy: But in a blink of an eye, Jamie O’Hara gets up, drags Myles back to the center and away from the ropes! He couldn’t get the break! Jamie goes for another hold as he steps through and turns —

Stew-O: But that’s the opening Myles needed, and he takes it, booting him in the face! That stuns Jamie for a moment! Myles goes ahead and kicks him in the face yet again, and this time, he does it harder than the last one! That gets Jamie to let go! O’Hara leans forward, and Myles reaches up, taking him down with a lightning-fast small package! Shoulders are on the mat!

Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE—

Jake Mercer: Kickout by the Ace! He gets up, but so too does Myles! Jamie races forward –

Flannery McCoy: SPINNING BACKFIST! :damn: !!! THAT WAS OUT OF NOWHERE!!!

Stew-O: BLINKED AND YOU’D MISS IT! WOW! MYLES WAS ABLE TO CATCH JAMIE OFF GUARD WITH THAT ONE! O’HARA IS LAID OUT ON THE MAT, LOOKING UP AT THE LIGHTS! AND THIS IS WHAT MYLES NEEDED, WHAT HE *DESPERATELY* NEEDED IN THIS MATCH!

Jake Mercer: No doubt about it! You can see Myles taking the time to check out his knee, hitting it a few times just so that he can get back in the game!

Flannery McCoy: You can tell that knee is bothering him, but he knows he has to push through the pain if he wants to capitalize on this opportunity! Myles is digging deep, showing the heart of a warrior!

Stew-O: Myles is getting back to his feet, the crowd is on their feet, urging him on! He’s heading over to Jamie O’Hara, who is still down on the mat. Myles grabs Jamie by the arms, pulling him up slowly and getting him to kneel…

Jake Mercer: Knee strike, of course, relying on the left knee in order to accomplish the blow! He steps forward, once again landing a knee to the jaw of Jamie! A THIRD one connects! And now, he hooks both arms, lifting Jamie up… OH MY GOD! MYLES WITH A VICIOUS BRAINBUSTER! JAMIE’S HEAD JUST BOUNCED OFF THE MAT!

Flannery McCoy: WOW! MYLES WAS ABLE TO LAND THAT FLUSH! JAMIE GOT ABSOLUTELY SPIKED!

Stew-O: AND WHAT A COMBINATION OF MOVES THERE BY THE CHAMPION! HE HAS JAMIE DOWN, BUT… HE ISN’T DONE WITH HIM! NOT BY A LONG SHOT!

Jake Mercer: Oh boy, what does Myles have in store here? Is he looking to end the match, or do more damage to Jamie?!

Flannery McCoy: Who knows? Myles just knows that he has to do everything he can to make sure he wins; hell, to make sure that Jamie pays for everything he has done to him! Myles gets him up and LANDS A DEVASTATING ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO THE SIDE OF THE TEMPLE! JAMIE IS ALMOST OUT COMPLETELY ON HIS FEET FROM THAT!

Stew-O: But Myles grabs him and drags him towards the corner! He hoists him up to the top of the turnbuckle and climbs up himself! He batters him with punches to the head, doing all he can to make sure he incapacitates him!

Jake Mercer: He is leaving no stone unturned at this rate! Myles delivers one final punch before he hooks Jamie… oh my… he could hit a huge superplex here! He goes to lift Jamie up!

Flannery McCoy: But he’s unable to, because Jamie is hanging on to the top rope! Myles tries to lift him up again, but the same result plays out! No dice! Jamie is able to keep himself from getting lited, and he uses his free hand to send a shot directly at Myles’ ribs! Jamie is fighting back!

Stew-O: He lands another brutal punch to the ribs, and Myles is forced to release his hold! Jamie shoves Myles off the top rope, sending him crashing to the mat!

Jake Mercer: Jamie is perched on the top turnbuckle now, looking down at Myles who is trying to get to his feet! Jamie leaps… MISSILE DROPKICK! HE CONNECTS! MYLES IS KNOCKED BACK ALL THE WAY INTO THE CORNER ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE RING! MY GOODNESS!

Flannery McCoy: And Jamie isn’t wasting any time! He’s back on his feet, charging at Myles… CORNER ENZUIGIRI! MYLES IS STUNNED! HE FALLS INTO A SEATED POSITION —

Stew-O: BOOT TO THE FACE! JAMIE GOT ALL OF THAT! MYLES GOES ROLLING TOWARDS THE CENTER OF THE RING WHILE JAMIE SHAKES OFF THE COBWEBS! HE STORMS TOWARDS THE CHAMPION AND GETS HIM UP! SINGLE UNDERHOOK BRAINBUSTER! HE GETS ALL OF IT!

Jake Mercer: ANYTHING YOU CAN DO, I CAN DO BETTER! THAT’S PRETTY MUCH WHAT HE SAID TO HIS FELLOW AUSTRALIAN HALL OF FAMER, DOING WHAT HE CAN TO ONE-UP HIM IN THIS SITUATION!

Flannery McCoy: That brainbuster did some nasty work to Myles. Jamie sits up and eventually comes to a stand. He grabs Myles and tosses him out to the outside as if he were nothing more than a bag of garbage! The champion takes a spill and he’s on the ringside floor. Jamie follows behind him. The Ace, this time, is in no rush. He stalks Myles down, who is doing his best to get back up to his feet.

Referee: ONE!

Stew-O: You can’t help but get the sense that Jamie finds this all amusing, comical, even. He’s been able to remain one step ahead of the champion, and it’s embolden him in a way to think that he has Myles completely figured out. Jamie is smirking as he watches Myles struggle to get back to his feet.

Jake Mercer: It’s almost like Jamie is playing with Myles now. He knows he’s in control, and he’s savoring every moment of it! Jamie grabs Myles by the hair, pulling him up, and then WHIPS HIM INTO THE STEEL STEPS! GOD, DID YOU HEAR THAT THUD!?

Flannery McCoy: Absolutely, as did the entirety of the Camping World Stadium! You can see the fans especially in the front row cringe from that harsh impact! Myles went head-first into that structure!

Referee: TWO!

Stew-O: But Jamie doesn’t care. Not one bit. He refocuses on the knee as he grabs Myles by the leg. He swings it out, causing the knee TO HIT THE STEEL STEPS! OH, NO!

Jake Mercer: Yeah, that’s gonna do him in! Myles is flailing about as he yells out in pain! The champion is in serious trouble now. Jamie is systematically picking him apart, and you can see the confidence radiating off of him!

Referee: THREE!

Flannery McCoy: Jamie O’Hara is nothing if not methodical. He knows exactly which buttons to press to keep Myles at bay and maximize his own advantage. Jamie pulls Myles up once more and this time, he’s dragging him towards the ring post.

Stew-O: And with whatever Jamie has planned, it’s not going to be good! Jamie is setting Myles up, his leg positioned against that unforgiving steel post. Jamie backs up…AND HE KICKS MYLES’ KNEE INTO THE POST! THAT CRACK ECHOES THROUGHOUT THE STADIUM!

Jake Mercer: :lupe: If his knee wasn’t screwed up before, then it certainly is now!

Referee: FOUR!

Flannery McCoy: Jamie rolls back into the ring… momentarily as it was only just to reset the count. He slides on out and saunters towards Myles, watching on as the champion struggles.

Referee: (off-mic) Hey! Get back in the ring!

Jamie O’Hara: (off-mic) Well, would you look at that? I can take my sweet time picking you apart. This is all but fun for me, Myles.

(Myles, holding onto his knee, looks up at Jamie and snarls.)

Myles: (off-mic) Fun? Did your forget what is at stake? I am going to end your miserable career that you allowed to go to waste.

(Jamie chuckles.)

Jamie O’Hara: (off-mic) I don’t know about that one, Myles. Again, which one of us is standing here?

Myles: (off-mic) Don’t worry, you sly bastard. I am going to cut you down.

Jamie O’Hara: (off-mic) You? Cut *me* down? Please. You’re already close enough to your parents right now.

(That’s when Myles’ eyes widen, that same bit of rage beginning to boil over again.)

Myles: (off-mic) What did you —

Stew-O: RUNNING PENALTY KICK BY JAMIE O’HARA! MYLES IS FLATTENED! AND NOW, O’HARA GRABS MYLES AND SENDS HIM CRASHING INTO THE BARRICADE! WHAT A ROUGH LANDING FOR THE CHAMPION!

Referee: ONE!

Jake Mercer: Oh man, and now, Jamie places it foot directly across the throat of Myles, beginning to choke him out. Myles’ feet kick around as she struggles to push Jamie off of him. O’Hara looks down at him, cold and smug as can be as he does not relent for a single moment. He has Myles right where he wants him to be.

Flannery McCoy: And this is what he wanted all along, to try and make Myles feel inferior to him in every way. Jamie is sending a message that he is not just aiming to defeat Myles but to utterly break him.

Referee: TWO!

Jamie O’Hara: (off-mic) This is *my* world, Myles… *my* domain… your cheap throne has no place within it.

(Crouching down so that he can get closer to Myles at eye level, he grins.)

Jamie O’Hara: (off-mic) And here, you are completely and utterly worthless —

Stew-O: Oh! Talk about defiance! Myles spits in the face of Jamie O’Hara! Jamie barely reacts, merely wiping it away! He looks back down at Myles… AND HE STARTS TO LAY IN SOME STOMPS, WITH EACH ONE GETTING MORE AND MORE BRUTAL THAN THE LAST!

Referee: THREE!

Jake Mercer: It’s like Jamie is about to make Myles pay for that! Jamie yanks Myles up and clobbers him with a chop to the chest! Myles’ chest immediately flushes red! Jamie roughs him up by the hair before taking him over to one of the announcer’s tables! Oh, this is NOT going to be good at all! :damn:

Flannery McCoy: No doubt about it! Jamie SLAMS Myles’ face down onto the table, and that rocks him! He’s dazed, struggling to maintain any semblance of balance!

Referee: FOUR!

Stew-O: Jamie has Myles in a vulnerable position! He now clears off the announcer’s table, having something sinister in mind for the champion! Jamie positions Myles on top of the announcer’s table, and has him hooked! This could be it!

Jake Mercer: … NO! NO! WAIT! MYLES FIGHTS HIM OFF WITH PUNCHES TO THE ABDOMEN! I DON’T KNOW HOW MYLES IS DOING IT, BUT HE’S FIGHTING BACK RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW! JAMIE NEVER EXPECTED THAT! JAMIE IS LOSING HIS GRASP ON HIM!

Referee: FIVE!

Flannery McCoy: And with that opening, Myles takes it! He pulls Jamie in setting him up—

Stew-O: MYLES WITH THE DE FACTO! DE FACTO THROUGH THE ANNOUNCER’S TABLE! OH MY GOD! HE GOT IT! THE TABLE SHATTERS INTO PIECES, AND JAMIE O’HARA IS LAID OUT! MYLES COLLAPSES BESIDE HIM, AND BOTH MEN ARE DOWN!

Referee: SIX!

Jake Mercer: What an insane way for Myles to find his way back into this match! However, he needs to use that same bit of strength he was able to find to get himself back up and bring the fight back inside of the ring, because the referee is STILL counting! Time is ticking away! Myles is starting to stir!

Flannery McCoy: You’re right! He knows he needs to get Jamie back inside to capitalize on this moment! Myles is using the barricade to pull himself up, his body battered and bruised. He’s summoning every ounce of strength he has left, but Jamie is still motionless on the debris of the broken table!

Referee: SEVEN!

Stew-O: Count of seven here, and Myles is up on his feet! He’s hobbling, with the effects of this match beginning to take its toll on him! However, he sees Jamie and goes to get him up! He has to be like dead weight here!

Referee: EIGHT!

Jake Mercer: IT IS, BUT HE NEEDS TO HURRY! COUNT OF EIGHT NOW! MYLES IS STRUGGLING, BUT HE HAS JAMIE UP AND TAKES HIM OVER TO THE RING!

Referee: NINE!!

Flannery McCoy: OH GOD, HE’S PUSHING HIM IN, BUT IT’S HARD TO DO WITH HOW HURT HE IS! MYLES SHOVES HIM IN, ALMOST EXHAUSTED! BUT REALIZES HE NEEDS TO GET IN NOW—

Referee: TEN—

Stew-O: HE GOT IN! HE GOT IN! MYLES WAS ABLE TO BREAK UP THE COUNT! AND NOW, HE CRAWLS OVER TO JAMIE, GETTING THE COVER ON HIM!

Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Referee: FOOT ON THE ROPE!

Jake Mercer: WHAT!? WAIT!! J-JAMIE O’HARA WAS ABLE TO GET HIS FOOT ON THE BOTTOM ROPE! HOLY HELL!

Flannery McCoy: AND MYLES IS IN SHOCK! HE THOUGHT HE HAD IT! WE ALL DID! JAMIE WAS COMPLETELY LAID OUT!

Stew-O: SO WE DID, BUT JAMIE STILL HAD ENOUGH WHEREWITHAL IN HIM TO GET HIS FOOT ON THE ROPE! WOW! WHAT A DISPLAY HERE BY O’HARA!

Jake Mercer: And you can see the frustration begin to color Myles’ face from that! He felt like he had the match won! However, Jamie persists, and this match for the EAW World Heavyweight Championship continues!

Flannery McCoy: At least, for now, it does. This is the point where you have to wonder how much gas does these two Elitists have left in the tank – and how much further are they willing to go in order to break the other down? This isn’t *just* about the championship. Jamie’s career is on the line. Myles’ personal pride and quest for vengeance are on the line. There is so much at stake here, and neither Myles nor Jamie want to be the one to lose here tonight.

Stew-O: It is an important battle. Hell, it is an important *war*. And as far as Myles is concerned, he has come too far to let the Ace get the better of him. He disrupted his wedding, attacked his father-in-law, attacked him, looked down upon him and even went so far as to show up at his parents’ gravesites, promising them that they would put their son down in the dirt with them.

Jake Mercer: And through all of that, I don’t think we have ever seen Myles become emotional. This match and all that it stands for is weighing heavily on him. He’s laying on the mat, gritting his teeth, trying to pull himself together, but it’s clear how much the gravity of this situation is

taking its toll on him. The physical toll is evident, but the emotional weight is equally profound.

Flannery McCoy: Myles has endured so much in this match, both physically and emotionally. Jamie O’Hara has pushed him to his absolute limits, testing not just his strength and endurance, but his resolve as well. Still, Myles is determined to do everything he can to finally put Jamie down, even if it means hurting himself in the process.

(Myles comes up to his knees, though he’s noticeably being ginger with the right one. Taking short, ragged breaths, he’s in between anger and exhaustion, his gaze hard and unwavering toward Jamie.)

Myles: (off-mic) Alright… you want to continue, huh? Fine by me…

(Myles crawls over and drags Jamie over to the middle of the ring. O’Hara was barely moving.)

Myles: (off-mic) You goddamn, smug, conniving bastard.

Stew-O: Myles gets on top of Jamie and he starts to punch him right in the face!

(***CRACK!****)

Myles: (off-mic) You’re the fool here.

(***CRACK!****)

Jake Mercer: Oh! Another wicked punch was delivered to Jamie’s face!

Myles: (off-mic) You’re the one who screwed up.

(***CRACK!****)

Myles: (off-mic) You couldn’t take your loss with grace.

(***CRACK!****)

Myles: (off-mic) You couldn’t just shut the fuck up and get better in spite of it..!

(***CRACK!****)

Myles: (off-mic) You just couldn’t accept it!

(***CRACK!****)

Myles: (off-mic) You just couldn’t accept the fact that you don’t have what it takes to COMPETE WITH THE BEST ANYMORE!

(***CRACK!****)

Myles: (off-mic) AND YOU COULDN’T JUST ACCEPT THE FACT THAT ***YOU ARE NOT FUCKING BETTER THAN ME, JAMIE!***

(***CRACK!****)

(***CRACK!****)

(***CRACK!****)

(***CRACK!****)

(***CRACK!****)

Crowd: :damn: :damn: :damn: !!!

(Blood was spilling everywhere. With each successive punch, Jamie’s face was getting covered more and more with that crimson mask. Still, Myles didn’t relent. For one month, the same man who was underneath him tortured him and did everything possible to undermine him. There was no going back. He wasn’t going to restrain himself. More punches came about, cracking Jamie in the face.)

(All of the rage that Myles felt spilled out, and he yells. It was in that moment he completely blacked out.)

Stew-O: MYLES KEEPS GOING! JAMIE CAN’T DEFEND HIMSELF! MYLES CONTINUES TO BATTER HIM! BLOOD IS GETTING EVERYWHERE, FROM THE RING TO HIS FISTS! THIS IS INSANE!

Jake Mercer: I…I-I think the official would have to step in, right…?

(And so, they do. They pry Myles away from Jamie, and Myles, in all of his rage, nearly lashes out at them. However, there was that part of him still inside that was able to collect himself enough before it was too late. Myles was so mad to the point that he balled his hands into fists and his nails nearly dug into his skin, tearing through the flesh. Still, he composed himself to not act out on impulse, despite how badly he wanted to.)

Flannery McCoy: And the referee is checking in on Jamie, trying to gauge his condition. If he’s unable to compete, then that may be it. The match would have to be ruled in Myles’ favor!

(It seemed like it was headed that way. But then…)

(… A laugh was heard.)

Stew-O: What’s going on now?

(Myles looks over, eyes slightly widening. Jamie raised his head up the mat ever-so-slightly, chuckling. His blood-stained grin can be seen.)

Flannery McCoy: Oh my, Jamie O’Hara is laughing! Despite the punishment he’s endured, he’s finding something amusing in this situation!

Stew-O: Jamie O’Hara showing a sick sense of humor here, laughing through the blood and the pain!

Jake Mercer: This is unreal! Jamie won’t stay down, and now he’s taunting Myles with that laugh!

(Myles looks on, frustration knitting his brows. Jamie, however, is unbothered. He looks directly at Myles, letting his smile widen.)

Jamie O’Hara: (off-mic) You can never truly kill me, Myles. The Ace is Eternal. *Forever*.

(Myles’ body begins to tremble.)

Myles: (off-mic) Not for much longer…

Jamie O’Hara: (off-mic) Oh?

(That’s when Jamie gets himself up. It was a struggle, with how genuinely hurt he was, but he’s able to stand, look at the furious champion straight in his eyes.)

Jamie O’Hara: (off-mic) Go ahead, then. *Pull the trigger.*

(Jamie staggers towards Myles, pressing his forehead against his.)

Jamie O’Hara: (off-mic) Cut me down where I stand, Myles.

Myles: (off-mic) … Gladly.

Stew-O: AND HERE WE GO! MYLES ATTACKS WITH A FLURRY OF STIFF FOREARMS TO THE FACE! JAMIE ABSORBS IT ALL, NOT DEFENDING HIMSELF! THE CHAMPION IS NOT PRESSING ANY KIND OF BRAKES HERE AS HE GOES TO TOWN, DOING EVERYTHING HE CAN TO HURT JAMIE HERE TONIGHT!

Jake Mercer: THIS IS WHAT MYLES WANTED! ALL HE EVER WANTED! HE WANTED TO DRAG JAMIE DOWN TO HELL FOR WHAT HE’S DONE, AND HE’S LOOKING TO DO THAT! MYLES UNLEASHES ONE FINAL FOREARM TO THE FACE BEFORE HE HOISTS JAMIE UP TO HIS SHOULDERS! HE’S GOT HIM STUCK —

Flannery McCoy: WAIT! NO! JAMIE PEPPERS HIM WITH ELBOWS STRAIGHT TO THE TEMPLE, THROWING MYLES OFF GUARD! HE HITS HIM OVER AND OVER AGAIN, THWARTING WHATEVER IT IS THAT THE CHAMPION HAD PLANNED FOR HIM! MYLES IS STARTING TO LOSE HIS GRIP ON HIM!

Stew-O: AND EVENTUALLY, MYLES HAS NO CHOICE BUT TO LET HIM GO! MYLES SHAKES HIS HEAD BUT HE RUSHES ON AHEAD —

Jake Mercer: ONLY TO CHARGE RIGHT INTO ‘IN EXCELSIS’!!! :damn: !!!

Flannery McCoy: HE GOT ALL OF IT! ALL OF IT! MYLES GOT ABSOLUTELY ROCKED BY THAT RUNNING BICYCLE KNEE! HE GOES DOWN LIKE A BAG OF BRICKS, AND THE CHALLENGER COVERS! THIS IS IT!

Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Stew-O: AND THAT IS IT! MYLES –

Jake Mercer: KICKED OUT! HE KICKED OUT! OH MY GOD, MYLES KICKED OUT!!!!

Flannery McCoy: THAT WAS TOO CLOSE TO COMFORT, BUT HE DID IT!!! MYLES HANGS ON! AND IF YOU LOOK CLOSELY, YOU CAN SEE THAT JAMIE IS A BIT SHOCKED! HE THOUGHT HE HAD IT THERE!

Stew-O: You can’t even blame him! Myles, seeing red, completely charged at him like a mad bull! Jamie was able to take advantage of that and lured him in, striking him where he least expected it! It just doesn’t get any better than that for Jamie!

Jake Mercer: And to think that if Myles had been just a millisecond too late in bringing his shoulders up… Jamie could be the EAW World Heavyweight Champion right now!

Flannery McCoy: But he isn’t, and he knows this! He’s been able to get the better of Myles at certain junctures in this match, but the reverse is true, and were seeing that unfold right before us! Jamie, however, is looking like he’s coming up with his next attack!

Stew-O: Bloodied face and all, O’Hara gets up and drags his feet towards the downed Myles. He reaches over and… he grabs him by the arm. What could he be planning on doing here?

Jake Mercer: I don’t know, but he seems intent on targeting that limb this time around! He torques it at an awkward angle and bends it behind Myles’ back. What a gnarly form of joint manipulation here! Jamie uses his foot to press down on the elbow joint, making things that much more uncomfortable for the champion! I don’t blame any of the fans watching this who may get a little squeamish by this!

Flannery McCoy: Jamie, never satisfied, stomps down HARD on the elbow, and Myles is in a world of hurt! He grabs the arm, squirming and wincing! And take note of how Jamie has been able to attack him. He went after the knee to cut down on Myles’ striking, and now, with a potentially-damaged arm, it may be hard for him to hit many of his patented moves!

Stew-O: You’re absolutely right, Flannery. Couple that with the mind games Jamie has been playing all match, or really, all month long, and it all compounds into the systemic and purposeful dissection of Myles. He’s chipping away at the champion, and as it stands now, he has all of the control here.

Jake Mercer: Jamie is proving how far the Ace can go to break down his opponent. It’s what he promised Myles he would do to him, and he has been able to do that tenfold in this match. :wow:

Flannery McCoy: And Jamie continues to have nothing but bad intentions in his frame of mind. Walking over to Myles, he grabs at that arm again and… wait, what is he doing…?

Stew-O: Jamie seems fixated on a particular part of Myles – the wedding ring!

Jake Mercer: Oh, no…

(Jamie takes the ring off of Myles’ finger. He looks at it, holding it up to the light.)

Jamie O’Hara: (off-mic) … Well, the missus *is* going to need something to remember you by.

(He tosses the ring off to the side. It rolls and rolls until it stops by the corner of the ring.)

(Then…)

(***SNAP!***)

Stew-O: OH MY GOD! NO! JAMIE SNAPS MYLES’ FINGER, AND THE CHAMPION CRIES OUT, WRITHING IN AGONY! JAMIE JUST SNAPPED MYLES’ RING FINGER!

Jake Mercer: But if you thought he was done at that, then guess again! Jamie sits on top of Myles, keeping him in place as he goes after the other ones!

(***SNAP!***)

(***SNAP!***)

(***SNAP!***)

(***SNAP!***)

Flannery McCoy: JESUS CHRIST! THIS IS SICK! ABSOLUTELY SICK! JAMIE FINALLY LETS GO, GETTING OFF OF MYLES, BUT THE DAMAGE MAY BE DONE!

Stew-O: I… I don’t even think we have *ever* seen Myles in this vulnerable state before! Like, ever, in his career!

Jake Mercer: Yeah. Myles has gone through plenty of wars throughout his time here in EAW, but this is… *different*. Completely different.

Flannery McCoy: It’s off-putting, and the fans know it, too. They don’t know how to process what they are seeing. Peak, Warlord, what have you – when we all look at Myles, we see this strong, unwavering figure, but now… he’s completely hurt. He can barely stand. The damage he has sustained throughout this match has taken a toll on him. This is a stark contrast to the man we all have seen completely dominate since day one.

(And that’s *exactly* what Jamie wanted.)

(He wanted to make Myles feel *nothing.*)

(Looking down at Myles who was holding onto his hand, squirming in pain, Jamie smirks. It was a cruel and unusual one for him. He heads over to Myles once more, pressing the heel of his boot into the side of his head.)

Jamie O’Hara: (off-mic) So weak. So pathetic. You could never be my equal, let alone my successor. This has all been fun and whatnot, seeing you squirm like the pathetic worm you are, but I think it’s about time I go ahead and put this whole farce to its much-needed end.

(Grabbing a fistful of Myles’ hair, he forces him up.)

Jamie O’Hara: (off-mic) And this time, the world will see you as nothing more than a child who can never live up to the expectations his real father set.

Jamie O’Hara: (off-mic) *Goodnight, my sweet child…*

Myles: …..

Stew-O: OH, WAIT, WHAT IS THIS! DON’T TELL ME HE’S —

Jake Mercer: HE IS! JAMIE O’HARA GETS MYLES UP –

Flannery McCoy: **’DE FACTO’ ONTO MYLES!!!**

Stew-O: HE WENT AHEAD AND HIT THE MOVE FOR HIMSELF! MYLES IS OUT! JAMIE PRESSES HIS SHOULDERS DOWN ONTO THE MAT, PINNING HIM!

Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

(…)

(…)

(…)

Jake Mercer: Bro…

Flannery McCoy: KICK OUT!

(The entire stadium loses its mind.)

Stew-O: MYLES SURVIVES! MYLES SURVIVES!

Jake Mercer: AND EVERYONE IS GOING INSANE! MYLES ISN’T DONE! FAR FROM IT!

Flannery McCoy: This time, Jamie is the one who is in disbelief! He thought that it was a done deal! However, he underestimated just how much Myles wants to win here tonight!

Jamie O’Hara: ….

(A sigh slips from his lips.)

Jamie O’Hara: (off-mic) Arrogant, prideful fool. *So be it.*

Stew-O: Jamie get up and STOMPS down on the hurt knee! He does it again and again, doing all that he can to just completely ruin Myles here tonight!

Jake Mercer: Myles has proven himself to be one tough competitor, and Jamie realizes that he’s gonna have to break him down entirely in order to win, reclaim a championship he has made history with, and, most importantly, keep his career! There’s so much at stake, and dare I say that Jamie is perhap a little bit more desperate here, realizing how intense this match is!

Flannery McCoy: Absolutely. All the mind games were fun for him, but Myles is fueled by his need for revenge, that need to get back at Jamie who has done everything possible to weaken him, and Jamie has his work cut out for him! Myles was never going to back down here, and now, O’Hara is looking to make sure that the next time he’s able to put him away, it will be for the definitive last time!

Stew-O: Jamie moves on from stomping at that knee and goes to stomp on the other leg! He walks over, and drives his boot into Myles’ left arm! Then the shoulder! THEN THE HEAD! Jamie isn’t holding back as he looks to target each limb, and he works his way over to the right arm, stomping on that as well!

Jake Mercer: Damn, and he just stomped on that hurt hand of Myles! In fact, he presses on it, digging his foot into it, doing all he can to apply as much pressure as possible to add on to the damage!

(It was a sickening scene. Many of the fans gasp, holding onto their mouths in shock, eyes wide and visibly cringing. Jamie continues to dig his foot into the battered hand of Myles before he lets go. By then, Myles was holding onto it, rolling onto the side of his body. However, Jamie was far from done with him.)

Flannery McCoy: Jamie grabs Myles and roughs him up, SLAMMING him back down to the mat with a STO! He mounts the champion and reels back, before striking him with the sharp point of his elbow!

Stew-O: It looks like he’s trying to pay back dividends from Myles hitting him in the face earlier. There is nothing pretty or technical about this! This is just an all-out war and has been from the very moment the bell rang!

Jake Mercer: Myles can hardly cover himself up! Those elbows are landing, and they’re landing hard! Jamie is just firing off like a mad man, now! No longer the cool, collected Ace!

Jamie O’Hara: (off-mic) You are nothing.

(***CRACK!***)

Jamie O’Hara: (off-mic) You are a lowly mutt.

(***CRACK!***)

Jamie O’Hara: (off-mic) You will never be anything more than that, but most importantly? You will *always* be my little bitch.

(***CRACK!***)

Flannery McCoy: AND THERE’S BLOOD! THERE’S BLOOD! MYLES IS BUSTED UP WIDE OPEN! HIS FACE IS QUICKLY BECOMING BLOODIED HERE AS JAMIE CONTINUES TO BATTER HIM!

Stew-O: Jamie eventually stops, and Myles is almost good as dead here! Jamie stands right about him, looking at what he has done!

Jake Mercer: And now, Jamie brings his hand up to his face, wiping off some of that running blood before —

(***SMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!!!***)

Flannery McCoy: Oh my God! He just slapped the shit out of Myles!

Stew-O: Right across the face he did! Nothing more than a complete sign of disrespect here from him!

Jake Mercer: Well, at least Myles is still moving, judging by how he reacted to that slap, but… I don’t know, guys. This may be it. He’s completely helpless here. :lupe:

(He was. Myles on the mat, sprawled out, seemingly with no energy left in him. His eyes are nearly glossed over in pain. Blood quickly stained the entirety of his face. His knee was hurting, his fingers throbbing in pain, and in that moment, he just couldn’t get up. He stares up at the ceiling as that was the only thing he could do.)

(And Jamie, seeing all of this, couldn’t be anymore satisfied.)

(A solid kick to the ribs was given to Myles. The champion curls up in a fetal position. Jamie circles around him, wiping more of his own blood off from his face before he grabs the champion and drags him closer to the corner.)

Stew-O: … and now, Jamie grabs Myles by both of his wrists. He steps on through, and crashes his knee into the jaw! ‘Hathaway’s Dreams”!!!

Jake Mercer: Myles just goes down in a heap. No resistance. No fight. That is it!

Flannery McCoy: Myles is down! However, Jamie doesn’t cover him! He wants to do more! He makes his way over to the corner and climbs it, reaching the top! Myles is in a vulnerable spot here!

Stew-O: This is it! Jamie is at the top! He looks down, seeing that Myles hasn’t moved! And I think we all know where this is going!

Jake Mercer: Myles has fought valiantly all throughout this contest, but the Ace has been able to prevail, and with that, Myles’ time as champion comes to an end!

(…)

(…)

Flannery McCoy: … !!!

Stew-O: WHAT THE–!?

Jake Mercer: WAIT, DID THAT JUST HAPPEN!??

(No one could believe it. Not even Jamie, whose eyes have gone completely wide.)

Flannery McCoy: YES! **MYLES IS AT THE TOP!** ALL OF A SUDDEN, IT WAS LIKE HE CAUGHT A SECOND WIND, AND HE SCRAMBLED ALL THE WAY THERE TO MEET UP WITH JAMIE! THIS ISN’T OVER!

Stew-O: AND JAMIE, COMPLETELY STUNNED, ALMOST DOESN’T KNOW HOW TO REACT! OUT OF INSTINCT, HE FIRES OFF WITH A PUNCH, TRYING TO KNOCK MYLES BACK DOWN!

Jake Mercer: BUT MYLES DOESN’T BUDGE! NOT ONE BIT! JAMIE THROWS ANOTHER PUNCH, DECKING HIM IN THE FACE! MYLES’ HEAD TURNS FROM THE IMPACT, BUT AGAIN, HE DOESN’T FALL DOWN!

Flannery McCoy: AND HE JUST TURNS HIS HEAD BACK TOWARDS JAMIE! HE YELLS RIGHT IN HIS FACE! HE’S LETTING THE ACE KNOW THAT HE CANNOT AND WILL NOT GO DOWN!

Stew-O: THIS IS INSANE! HOWEVER, JAMIE IS LOOKING TO END THINGS RIGHT HERE AS HE GRABS MYLES BY THE HEAD, TRYING TO LIFT HIM UP!

Jake Mercer: It isn’t working! Myles fires off with a punch to the ribs! Then another! AND ANOTHER! He fires off relentlessly towards O’Hara, who has no choice but to try and fire back at him! Now, BOTH Elitists are punching the living daylights out of one another, going to war at perhaps the most precarious spot imaginable! Something’s got to give here!

(Punch after punch lands. The fans go crazy, nearly drowning out Stew-O, Jake and Flannery’s voices.)

(Myles. Jamie. Myles. Jamie. It was relentless and brutal.)

(However, one man would be able to get the better of the other.)

Flannery McCoy: And Myles decides he’s had enough of the punching warfare! HEADBUTT! HE CRACKS JAMIE RIGHT ON THE FOREHEAD, STUNNING HIM! JAMIE FLAILS AS HE TRIES TO REGAIN HIS BALANCE!!

Stew-O: BUT HE’S STRUGGLING, AND HE JUST MIGHT FALL BACK ONTO THE OUTSIDE FLOORING —

Jake Mercer: BUT HE DOESN’T! **MYLES LATCHES ONTO HIM!**

Flannery McCoy: MYLES KEEPS JAMIE IN PLACE! BUT THAT DOESN’T MEAN O’HARA IS SAFE! HE HITS ONE MORE HEADBUTT, AND THAT SEEMS TO DO HIM IN! JAMIE IS HURT! JAMIE IS HURT! MYLES GETS HIM SET UP…

Stew-O: AND HE HAS HIM IN THE PUMPHANDLE! FROM ALL THE WAY AT THE TOP, HE LIFTS JAMIE UP!!!!

(***CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!***)

Jake Mercer: ## *’DE FACTO NUEVO’!!!!!*

Flannery McCoy: OH MY GOD! HE GOT IT! HE GOT ALL OF IT! JAMIE IS DOWN ON THE MAT!

Stew-O: AND WHAT A HUGE MOVE THAT WAS! IF MYLES CAN GET TO JAMIE, THIS IS IT! THE CHAMPION’S ADRENALINE LOOKS TO BE WEARING OFF, BUT HE TURNS HIS HEAD AND SAYS THAT O’HARA IS LAID OUT!

(And Myles knew that was his chance. As hurt and battered as he was, he uses his last remaining strength to drag his body towards the slain Ace.)

Jake Mercer: HERE WE GO! MYLES CRAWLS OVER AND THROWS THE ARM ACROSS JAMIE’S CHEST! THE REFEREE SLIDES OUT AND STARTS THE COUNT! COULD THIS BE IT!?

Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

(…)

Referee: TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

(…)

Referee: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

(…)

(…)

(…)

(DING! DING! DING!)

Flannery McCoY: YES! MYLES DEFEATS JAMIE O’HARA AND RETAINS THE EAW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP!

(‘Enemy Strike’ hits, with the EAW Universe all coming to a stand! Myles still has his arm over Jamie. Completely exhausted and hurt, he does his best to gather his bearings. However, there is a mix of emotions swirling with him that he isn’t in a rush to celebrate.)

Stephie Love: Here is your winner…. AAAAAAAAAND STILL, the EAW World Heavyweight Champion… MYYYYYYYYYYYLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEES!

Stew-O: Wow. I mean, what can even be said? That wasn’t a match. That wasn’t a regular fight. That was a complete and utter war from bell to bell, and we knew that Jamie and Myles weren’t going to hold anything back. Still, seeing the carnage and absolute violence that unfolded… I’m nearly speechless, guys.

Jake Mercer: Same here! I don’t think people are ever going to forget this bout. However, beyond that, no one is going to forget the depths Myles had to tap in to in order to come out with the win here tonight. Jamie sought to break him down, mentally, phsyically, what have you, but Myles didn’t allow for any of that to get the better of him. He was determined to win, determined to make Jamie pay, and now, he was able to vindicate himself, getting his revenge and much-needed closure! This is beyond just being about championships and glory. This was so much more, and in perhaps the most emotional and personal match of his career, Myles was able to emerge victorious.

Flannery McCoy: He really did. This is nothing short of stunning. Last year, he walked into Pain for Pride challenging for that very same championship against Limmy Monaghan and lost. Now, not only did he walk in as the world heavyweight champion, but he gets to leave Orlando with it still in his possession – as well as being able to say that he ended the career of Jamie O’Hara.

Stew-O: Yes. With this loss, that means that Jamie O’Hara’s time in EAW… is over. Just like that. He put his career on the line, and though he was able to bring the fight to Myles, reminding us why he has been able to be such a dominant, enigmatic force for years, it just wasn’t enough. I think the reality of the situation will settle in for both of them once they’re able to get up… if they are even able to.

(Myles begins to stir. He rolls off of Jamie, sitting up. He’s careful with his movements as there is so much pain rocking his body. However, a sense of contentment washes over him. The referee comes over and hands him the title before assisting him back to his feet. Myles, standing in the middle, raies the championship, but only for a brief moment. His eyes catch on to something far more important in the corner. He hobbles over towards that direction and picks up the glimmering item.)

Jake Mercer: And there’s the wedding band that Jamie took from him. Myles has it back in his possession.

(Myles, gritting his teeth, pops his ring finger back into place. It hurt for a moment, but with the digit back to normal, he’s able to slip on the band.)

(Suddenly, the fans come unglued.)

Flannery McCoy: Hang on! Someone just slid into the ring!

Stew-O: And that someone just so happens to be someone Myles is very much familiar with! It’s Minerva!

(The fans cheer as Minerva is quick to embrace Myles. A genuine sense of relief washes over her. Myles doesn’t take long to wrap his arms around his beloved, finding comfort in her touch.)

(Overcome with everything, he presses his face into her shoulder and softly sobs, hiding his countenance from the cameras.)

Jake Mercer: Wow. What a moment. :wow: You can’t help but think that Myles is glad this is all over with right now. After everything he’s had to endure, he was able to get his revenge.

(It takes a moment, but Myles is able to gather himself. Strong and resolute once more, he pries his face away from his wife’s shoulder. Minerva gives him a faint smile, doing her best to wipe away the blood that’s smeared all over her husband’s face.)

Minerva: (off-mic) You look like shit, mate.

Myles: (off-mic) Well, it doesn’t seem to scare you off.

Minerva: (off-mic) Point taken. Now, how about we get you cleaned up and checked out?

Myles: (off-mic) … actually, not yet. There’s something I still need to do.

(Myles looks a bit serious. Minerva looks at him in slight confusion before her attention deviates towards Jamie, who was just now stirring. She immediately darts her gaze back over towards Myles.)

Minerva: (off-mic) No. You beat him. That’s more than en–

Myles: (off-mic) No, Siobhan, that’s not what I meant. It’s alright.

Minerva: (off-mic) Oh. Okay then.

(Minerva’s concern went away, which Myle greatly appreciates.)

Myles: (off-mic) Think you can wait outside the ring for a moment?

(Minerva nods. She looks back at Jamie for a moment before she exits through the ropes, remaining at ringside. Myles walks over to the opposite side of the ring and calls for a microphone. A ringside crew member fetches it for him and hands it off. The fans begin to quiet down as they realize that he’s about to speak.)

(Myles walks over to Jamie, who could only simply rise to his knees. He looks over at Myles, bloodied face and all. The two men stare at each other before Myles speaks.)

Myles: You know, Jamie, I could spend my time dragging you to filth for all of the things you have done to me. All of the heartache, the anger, the disrespect and more. You would, quite frankly, deserve it as your actions were unbecoming of you.

Jamie O’Hara: (off-mic) … Tch.

Myles: I really could. However, the message has been made clear tonight. I defeated you. I bested you. I showed that I was the better man and the better competitor, and thanks to me, not only did your dreams of re-establishing yourself go to waste, but now… your career is over.

(Myles pauses to see Jamie’s reaction. He remains nonchalant. It was hard to read what exactly O’Hara was thinking in the moment. However, Myles continues.)

Myles: Instead, I’m not going to do that. I got what I wanted out of all of this. My need for revenge has been sated. I was able to defeat one of the greatest Elitists of all time in the biggest match on the biggest of stages. You have been nothing short of a cunt, and I would be a liar if I didn’t admit that I get a bit of satisfaction out of humbling you…

Myles: … but even then, I don’t want to see you leave with you pride completely in shambles. At the end of the day, Jamie, you remain one of the best talents to have ever come into EAW. You are a trailblazer. An icon. A man who has allowed for people like me to come along and find their way through this grand promotion. There is no denying the legacy and impact you’ve left behind. You may not have been able to beat me, but at the very least, I want you to enjoy this moment. Enjoy the last time you will stand within an EAW ring. Savor every second of this…

Myles: Because a new legend has been born, and he came about by taking down the Ace.

(Jamie looks at Myles. However, Myles gives a nod and speaks once more.)

Myles: This is my domain now. My promotion. My *world*. So, I suggest you take the moment to look around, because what was yours is now mine. I can at least be that courteous towards you.

(Myles drops the microphone and heads on out, catching up with Minerva. Minerva helps him out as they both start to make their way up the ramp.)

Stew-O: Wow. Myles is letting Jamie have his moment.

Jake Mercer: Well, even after everything, Myles acknowledges all that Jamie has been able to do for this promotion. He doesn’t want him to leave without a proper send-off.

(And so, Jamie remains in the middle, kneeling. A blank expression settles on his face. Even though the fans facored Myles, they get a chant going, knowing that this is the last time they will see the Ace inside an EAW ring.)

Crowd: THANK YOU, JAMIE! THANK YOU, JAMIE! THANK YOU, JAMIE!

Stew-O: It is the end of an era, but it is not the end of the Ace. He lives on forever, for his legacy is eternal, despite what happened here tonight.

(Then finally, a small smile emerges on Jamie’s face. He looks down, and softly utters out to himself…)

Jamie O’Hara: (off-mic) Good luck, Peak.

(The fans continue to chant for Jamie. Myles reaches the stage, looking on.)

Jake Mercer: Wow. All these careers that have ended at Pain for Pride. Then again, no better way to close out a story than by competing on the biggest stage of them all.

Flannery McCoy: It sure doesn’t. Now, we need you to go next.

Jake Mercer: ?????

Stew-O: :mjlol:

Flannery McCoy: :mjgrin:

Jake Mercer: Wow. Wooooow. You know what, let’s not focus on *me*, okay? Let’s take the time to enjoy this and relish how we had an incredible Pain for Pride weekend. How about that?

Flannery McCoy: We sure did, and now, we have to end things. Season seventeen has come to its official end, and with a new era upon us, we head towards the start of season eighteen.

Stew-O: Absolutely. Thank you all for tuning in and being a part of us for your weekend. What an amazing Pain for Pride this has been!

(The final shot shows Myles raising the championship up high. Pyro goes off and confetti falls from the sky. Then, it transitions back to the ring with Jamie still kneeling, letting his final match sink in as the show fades to black.)

(EAW logo buzzes.)
