Rebellion 3/25/2018

(EARLIER TONIGHT. We fade backstage to the parking lot area. After a few seconds a black Cadillac limousine drives down a ramp and into the frame)

(The door pops open. Another few seconds pass, finally we can see the dress shoe of a man towards the bottom of the screen. The camera pans up to show Maximum Grier stepping out of the limo sporting a grey suit, the Welterweight Championship around his shoulder)

(But he’s not alone. Following him out of the limo is a massive man in an all black suit. No words are exchanged between the two but there is a smile delivered from Grier to the man. They walk down the length of the garage as the camera fades out)

(The camera fades inside the arena as…‘Headlines’ by Drake begin to play throughout the arena as the crowd gives a mixed reaction. After a few seconds, Hurricane Hawk emerges wearing his trunks and a hoodie with no sleeves. Hawk begins to walk towards the ring as he quickly stops and begins wagging his finger. Hurricane Hawk takes a few steps back as he extends his arm as he confidently looks towards the crowd. Finally, Ms. Extreme walks from the back and gives a cocky smirk to the REBELLION audience.)

James Peters: HELOOOOOOOOO EVERYBODY!! Tonight we’re kicking things off with the one, the only, LEGACY KILLAS! Both individuals appear to be confident as they strut down the ramp and enter the ring.

Rich Russillo: Oh, Hawk is there? Sorry, the only person I’m paying attention to is the babe Ms. Extreme. Hawk and literally go and jump off of a cliff and watch if I care.

James Peters: That was oddly way too specific.:skip: But… I agree.

(Ms. Extreme and Hurricane Hawk enter the ring as each Legacy Killa participant is handed a mic.)

Hurricane Hawk: Welcome to SUNDAY NIGHT REBELLION!

(The crowd cheers as Hawk looks over to Ms. Extreme.)

Ms. Extreme: Aren’t you all just so happy to be here tonight?!

(The fans at ringside begin to yell and cheer as Ms. Extreme glances over to Hurricane Hawk.)

Hurricane Hawk: I bet you all feel reaaaally lucky right now, don’t you?

Ms. Extreme: I can only imagine the excitement that is running through everyone’s clogged up arteries! You all get to see the Legacy Killas LIVE and not only that, but you get to listen to their wisdom and hopefully one day our wisdom will rub off on all of you.

Hurricane Hawk: Now, we’re not trying to sound cocky but Ms. Extreme over here is right. We are one of the greatest tag teams in REVOLT history. Wrestling fans would pay thousands of dollars just to stand next to us. We aren’t only two talented individuals, but we are intelligent beings and we are constantly aware of our environment and surroundings. We aren’t blind sheep that just go with the flow. We make waves and set the tone. We set the bar for every other tag team out there, including the two imbeciles who have the tag titles wrapped around their flabby, old guts.

Ms. Extreme: Agreed, Hawk! Isn’t it sad how we’ve managed to set the bar but the tag team champions can’t even get past one loss? They even had to have the referee who called our match fired. How petty is that? You need to have an extremely fragile ego in order to go to those certain circumstances. They’re so jaded and outdated and NEED to be taken out for REVOLT’s sake.

Hurricane Hawk: And who could ever take out these so-called “legends” Ms. Extreme?

Ms. Extreme: None other than the Legend Killas, of course.

Hurricane Hawk: We make a living off of retiring senior citizens like you, Liquid Swords. We’re tired of you parading around backstage as if you own the place when you haven’t done anything significant other than beating the Blicky Boyz. If you truly think that by beating those two ex-convicts gives you the right to act like you’re untouchable then you’re in for a rude awakening.

Ms. Extreme: We’re not only calling you out, we’re making our stance very clear; the tag team titles will soon be with their rightful owner. We will bring nothing but prestige and honor to those sacred titles, something you two haven’t been able to achieve. You’re both easily forgettable and it’s a damn shame that two overrated has-beens are getting the glory that they don’t deserve. If you have any sort of dece–

(Ms. Extreme is cut off as ‘Put Em’ Up’ by Lupe Fiasco begins to blast throughout the arena as Mr. DEDEDE and Impact emerge from behind the curtains with a mic in their hands.)

Mr. DEDEDE: This false bravado is cute, but it’s just not fitting with your style. If you truly want to come across as daunting and intimidating, you’re going to have to change certain aspects from your stance. You can’t come out here in front of thousands of people and say that we haven’t done anything remarkable in REVOLT when any conscious person with at least half of brain can say otherwise.

Impact: We are by far the best draw this company has. Mr. DEDEDE and I couldn’t help but chuckle at your delusional, barbaric words. If we’re two overrated has-beens, then you two mongrels are good for nothing leeches. Parasitic leeches who are trying to cling on to any bit of relevancy so people don’t forget your names by the end of this segment.

(The Liquid Swords finally enter the ring as both teams meet in the middle.)

Ms. Extreme: Parasitic leeches? That’s funny because isn’t that what you two do to one another? Leech off of one another’s past successes? At least Hawk and I can work collaboratively and use our strengths that complement one another for the greater good. Whereas all you two do is constantly compete in a jerking off contests.

Mr. DEDEDE: Funny you’d mention jerking off contests, isn’t that what you and Hawk do every night anyway? At least we got that in common, don’t we?

(Ms. Extreme appears flustered as Hawk begins to talk.)

Hurricane Hawk: You can throw any petty joke you want but nothing will change the fact that both of you are complete cowards who would never dare to step up to the challenge. You’re both afraid of the unknown. You have no idea what will be in store once we finally meet in the squared circle once again. But I can give you a quick spoiler right now if you’d like. Our next encounter will end the same way our first one did. With you on the floor with your damaged soul as we stand victorious. However, this time around we aren’t going to leave empty-handed. We’re taking OUR gold with us as —

James Peters: OH MY GOD! MR. DEDEDE JUST SPEARED THE LIVING HELL OUT OF HURRICANE HAWK! HAWK IS DOWN AS DDD IS ON TOP OF HIM, GIVING HIM LEFTS AND RIGHTS, PUMMELING ONE HALF OF THE LEGACY KILLA! IMPACT LOOKS AT MS. EXTREME AS SHE QUICKLY ROLLS OUT OF THE RING… UH, HELLO! AREN’T YOU GOING TO HELP YOUR TEAMMATE OUT?!

Rich Russillo: HEY! DON’T JUDGE HER! She obviously has something to do, okay?! Impact has now gotten into the action as he demands Mr. DEDEDE to hold Hurricane Hawk’s arms back as Impact sizes him up. Uh oh, this doesn’t look good for Hawk! Impact is ready to hit Hawk with the Evisceration… BUT OH GOD! MS. EXTREME JUST SLID INTO THE RING JUST HOW I WISH I COULD SLIDE IN HER DM’S AND HITS THE BACK OF MR. DEDEDE! DDD IMMEDIATELY LET’S HAWK GO AND FALLS ON HIS KNEES AS HE WINCES IN PAIN! IMPACT IS BEWILDERED AND IMMEDIATELY CHARGES AT MS. EXTREME, BUT MS. EXTREME LANDS A CHAIR SHOT RIGHT AT THE FOREHEAD OF IMPACT!

James Peters: MS. EXTREME IS GOING WILD AS SHE CONTINUOUSLY HITS BOTH MEN WITH THE STEEL CHAIR! ONE AFTER ANOTHER! DDD manages to roll out of the ring as Impact is the lone survivor. Hawk is finally on his feet as he begins to get pumped up by the vocal crowd! Hawk is ready to execute his finishing move on the body of Impact! But here comes DDD with the save as pulls his Liquid Sword comrade by his feet onto the outside of the ring. DDD puts Impact’s arm over his shoulder as they both begin to walk towards the ramp. The audience is not happy as neither is Hawk, but DDD is shaking his head “no”! Hawk is demanding for the two men to go back into the ring but DDD and Impact are not complying.

(‘Headlines’ by Drake picks up where it left off as Impact and DDD are making their way towards the top of the ramp as Ms. Extreme and Hurricane Hawk raise their hand in victory. REBELLION fades to commercial.)

(Commercial break)

(The camera cuts back into the arena as “Fun Time” by Sammy Nestico blasts through the speakers as Suneo Honekawa comes from the backstage area, high-fiving fans as he slides into the ring and raises his arms to cheers.)

Bella Braxton: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL! Introducing first, from Indonesia! Weighing in at 216 POOUNDSS!!!!!…..HE IS “THE FUN MAN SHOW” SUNEEOOOO HONNEEEKAAAAWAAAA!!!

(“Badass” by Saliva blasts through the arena speakers. The lights go off and then the music plays. The stage gets filled with some smoke and the lights play around like the theme music’s beat. Kevin walks in with his hands open in a proud way, stands in the stage a bit, then flexes his way through the ring, sometimes high-fiving his fans. After he enters the ring he goes in the corner, climbs the middle rope and talks to the audience in the arena, while his hands get rised up.)

Bella Braxton: AND HIS OPPONENT! From Los Angeles, California! Weighing in at 264 POOUNDSSS!!!!!……HE IS “THE BADASS” KEVIIINNN AUUUUUSSTIIINNN!!!!

(DING! DING! DING!)

James Peters: And this match is officially underway as the bell has rung, AND KEVIN AUSTIN IMMEDIATELY CHARGES TOWARDS SUNEO! HALF-BREAKER! HALF-BREAKER! THE SPEAR IMMEDIATELY CONNECTS AND HE TRULY BREAKS HIS OPPONENT IN HALF WITH THAT MANEUVER! OH MY GOD! THE SPEAR RIGHT OUT OF THE WAY TEARING INTO HONEKAWA AND KEVIN HOOKS THE LEG IMMEDIATELY! DAMN!

Referee: ONEEEEEE!!!!!……TWOOOOO!!!!!!…….TTHREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

(DING! DING! DING!)

(“Badass” by Saliva then plays as Kevin Austin rises to his feet, laughing at Suneo.)

Bella Braxton: AND HERE IS YOUR WINNER……KEEEVIIINNNN AUUUSSTIIINNN!!!

Rich Russillo: Welp. Poor Suneo didn’t even get a chance to fight as Kevin immediately tore him in half with that spear! Wow! Sad night for Honekawa but an impressive victory from Austin tonight!

(Commercial break)

(The camera fades back into the ring as “I Fall Apart” by Post Malone plays through the speakers, as Osiris walks out from the backstage area wearing his usual attire, looking solemnly and coldly at the crowd before “I Fall Apart” fades. “KIll Your Masters” by Run the Jewels then plays as the crowd boos loudly, where Shackleford walks out raising his arms up as both him and Osiris walk down together.)

Bella Braxton: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS A TAG MATCH SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL! Introducing first, coming at a combined weight of 458 POOUNDSSSS……..THE TEAM OF OSIRIISSS ANNNDD SHAAAACKKLLEEFOOOOORRRRDDD!!!!

(”Fly Away” by Lil Wayne plays as an inflated tunnel has been placed on the stage for Jason Skilled to burst out of. By his side is R.J. Skilled with a microphone in his hand talking trash and acting foolish, arguing with fans, cat-calling ladies in the crowd and hyping up his son. “Fly Away” then fades as “Young and Bitter” by Hot Tag Media plays as Dustin Diamond walks out, as both him and Jason Skilled walk down together, sliding in and staring down the opposing team.)

Bella Braxton: AND THEIR OPPONENTS! Coming in at a combined weight of 450 POOOUNDSSSS……THE TEAM OF DUSTIN DIAMOND AND JAAASOONNN SKIIILLEEEDD!!!

James Peters: Here we are with some tag team action tonight as the team of Osiris and Shackleford go up against Dustin Diamond and Jason Skilled! Skilled and Shackleford have had a building rivalry as of late, starting with a minor disagreement that I’m sure will now lead to a full-on match up at REVOLT 2! As for Dustin and Osiris, this could be a great match to reset after their recent losses and bounce back!

(DING! DING! DING!)

James Peters: And this match is now underway as the bell has rung, where we see Dustin Diamond and Shackleford starting it for us right now! They meet in the center of the ring as the Welterweight and Heavyweight raise their hands….for a collar and elbow tie-up! Both men vying for good control here but it’s Diamond with the superior amateur wrestling background as he immediately moves and takes down Shackleford grabbing his one leg! Leg sweep taking him down before he jumps down into a side control as Shackleford tries to escape! But Dustin has him locked in as he then shifts into a North-south position, grabbing him in a facelock….and look at that! Beautiful gater rolls by Diamond moving Shackleford around, shaking him up and wearing him out so he can systematically destroy him! Great showing from Dustin tonight as he lifts Shackleford back up to a vertical base, and locks him in a headlock! But Shackleford able to push Diamond back into the ropes! Now the referee is forced to get in between them, forcing that break! They break up…..BUT DIAMOND WITH A RIGHT HAND! NO! SHACKLEFORD BLOCKS THE SHOT AND NOW GRABS DUSTIN BY HIS NECK AND FIRES OFF WITH A FOREARM! THEN ANOTHER FOREARM! A THIRD FOREARM!

Rich Russillo: Looks like that technical wrestling has been put to a stop early.

James Peters: RAPID-FIRE FOREARMS FROM SHACKLEFORD PUSHING DIAMOND BACK INTO A CORNER! That raw aggression from Shackleford paying him dividends tonight as he now runs to the opposite corner then comes back! RUNNING EUROPEAN UPPERCUT SANDWICHING DUSTIN IN BETWEEN HIS ARM AND THE TURNBUCKLES AND YOU CAN SEE BOTH JASON AND RJ ON THE OUTSIDE LOOKING QUITE WORRIED! Dustin is on spaghetti legs, he almost looks about to fall but Shackleford is mad and wants to vent as he places Dustin back in that corner then runs off to the opposite corner once more! RUNNING EUROPEAN UPPERCUT AGAIN – OH! ENZIGURI BY DUSTIN DIAMOND TO SHACKLEFORD AS HE WAS RUNNING, STOPPING HIM RIGHT IN HIS TRACKS! A LOUD ENZIGURI TO THE SIDE OF HIS HEAD AND NOW IT’S SHACKLEFORD WHO’S STUNNED! Diamond rises to his feet then goes back to the corner….AND RUNS OFF FOR A BIG BOOT TO THE SIDE OF THE JAW! A STIFF boot to the side of Shackleford’s jaw but the Heavyweight is still standing, I think this goes to show the clear difference in power! But right now, it’s Dustin who’s beating Shackleford with speed and agility as he bounces off the ropes once more FOR A DROPKICK AND THIS TIME SHACKLEFORD IS SENT OVER THE ROPES! A running dropkick to his chest and Shackleford is sent out to recover from that assault, smashing his fist onto the apron, BUT MAYBE HE SHOULD BE WATCHING AS RJ SKILLED FROM BEHIND! RJ Skilled taps Shackleford on the shoulder and now the two are arguing once more! Going back to that segment a few weeks back and you can clearly see the hatred as they regard each other right now! RJ and Shackleford talking trash to each other right now…..BUT I THINK SHACKLEFORD SHOULD HAVE BEEN WATCHING AS DUSTIN DIAMOND COMES FROM BEHIND! CHOP BLOCK RIGHT INTO HIS LEGS! THEN HE SENDS THE BIG MAN STRAIGHT INTO THE STEEL STEPS! JESUS, THEY EXPLODED ON IMPACT FROM THE COLLISION OF FLESH AND STEEL!

Rich Russillo: Dustin Diamond with a good use of his speed and quick-thinking right now to take Shackleford down, if Shackleford doesn’t find a way to defend himself he might end up in a really bad position!

James Peters: Dustin picks up the stunned Shackleford and sends him rolling back into the ring! Now he stands up on the apron and asks for the crowd to rally him to which they oblige, and he rises and begins to scale the turnbuckle! HE’S ATOP! HE’S PERCHED! DUSTIN DIAMOND IS ON THE TOP AND HE IS READY TO STRIKE AT SHACKLEFORD! FIVE-STAR FROG SPLASH! NO! SHACKLEFORD STANDS UP AT THE LAST MINUTE AND CATCHES THE LEGS OF DIAMOND! OH MY GOD! THEN HE TWISTS THEM AND TURNS…..FOR THE 657! THE 657! THE TEXAS CLOVERLEAF IS LOCKED IN AND HE IS BENDING THAT BACK OF DIAMOND LIKE AN ACCORDION! WOW! Shackleford with some great maneuver there as he caught the leaping Diamond as he was attempting his signature Five-Star Frog Splash, catching his legs and turning it into the 657! That Texas Cloverleaf is locked in and Dustin has nowhere to go! He is trapped and is scrambling to try and get out but Shackleford has that locked in tight! HE MIGHT TAP! HIS HAND IS RAISED! DUSTIN…….REACHES OUT FOR THE ROPES! AND HE MANAGES TO GRAB IT! WOW! DIAMOND SAVES THE MATCH FOR HIMSELF AS HE CAUSES THE ROPE BREAK! BUT SHACKLEFORD STILL HAS IT LOCKED IN AND THE REFEREE IS FORCED TO COUNT HIM OFF!

Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR!

Rich Russillo: Of course, only now is where he lets go. Smart though, not gonna lie. He used all of that count to deal as much damage as he could to Diamond before he let go, poor kid’s back is probably broken from it!

James Peters: Both men are completely exhausted however and now Dustin is barely gaining consciousness, seeing Jason Skilled reach out his arm for the tag! Dustin is slowly inching away but so is Shackleford who sees Osisir ALSO reaching his arm out! Jason is stomping his feet on the apron and RJ Skilled is smashing his fists on the apron! DUSTIN DIAMOND LEAPS TO LIFE! HE TAGS IN JASON SKILLED! BUT AT THE SAME TIME SHACKLEFORD ALSO JUMPS AND TAGS IN OSIRIS! HERE WE GO! OSIRIS AND JASON SKILLED DUKING IT OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING! A FLURRY OF RIGHTS AND LEFTS FROM BOTH MEN AS THEY ARE BEATING THE ABSOLUTE HELL OUT OF EACH OTHER! IT’S A STORM OF FISTS IN THE RING AND NEITHER MAN IS RELENTING! OH! BUT MAYBE I SPOKE TOO SOON! OSIRIS WITH A RIGHT HAND INTO THE FACE OF SKILLED! BUT SKILLED FIRES OFF WITH A STIFF FOREARM SMASH TO THE SIDE OF HIS FACE! YIKES! That took some energy out of him as Osiris reels backwards into the ropes…..BUT HE COMES BACK WITH A SUPERKICK! A SUPERKICK STRAIGHT INTO THE JAW OF SKILLED AND NOW HE’S STANDING ON WOBBLY LEGS! Now it’s Jason who’s sent going back into the ropes….BUT HE CHARGES RIGHT BACK! DISCUS LARIAT BY SKILLED – NO! OSIRIS DUCKS IT AND GOES BEHIND! GERMAN SUPLEX! BRIDGING GERMAN SUPLEX BY OSIRIS, WHAT A MOVE AS SKILLED IS SENT RIGHT DOWN INTO THE MAT! BEAUTIFUL MOVE BY OSIRIS AND THE SHOULDERS ARE DOWN!

Referee: ONEEEEEEE!!!!!……TWWW—

James Peters: DUSTIN DIAMOND! HE’S BACK AS HE STOMPS RIGHT ONTO OSIRIS BEFORE HE COULD GET A TWO COUNT! Diamond manages to recover as he stops the pin, as he now viciously stomps away at Osiris! Then Diamond grabs his opponent and lifts him back to a vertical base! Why is he doing this? He isn’t even the legal man, but whatever works I guess! Diamond grabs Osiris by the jaw, clear rage in his face! He desperately wants to win this match tonight! HERE’S DIAMOND AS HE LEAPS! THE PERFECT DIAMOND! NO! OSIRIS PUSHES HIM AWAY BEFORE IT COULD CONNECT! Diamond turns around – INCOMING POP! INCOMING POP! OH MY GOD! A LOUD ROLLING ELBOW CONNECTS STRAIGHT INTO THE JAW OF DUSTIN AND HE IS KNOCKED OUT COLD! OSIRIS IS ON FIRE TONIGHT AND DIAMOND IS SIMPLY GONE RIGHT ON THE MAT! BUT HE CAN’T PIN HIM AS HE IS NOT THE LEGAL MAN AND SKILLED GRABS OSIRIS FROM BEHIND! BEZERK! BEZERK! THE REVERSE SPIN SCOOP POWERSLAM SLAMMING OSIRIS RIGHT INTO THE MAT, DIAMOND GAVE SKILLED ENOUGH TIME TO RECOVER AND NOW OSIRIS IS FLOPPING ALL OVER THE MAT AFTER THAT MANEUVER! He may be knocked out cold right now but Diamond did something important for his team, and that may have been the one to prove the victor tonight as Skilled is getting ready to set up for a move to end it all! He puts Osiris between his legs, AND LIFTS HIM UP! HE HAS HIM IN THE GORY SPECIAL POSITION! THIS MIGHT BE IT! JASON SKILLED IS LOOKING FOR THE TAKEOVER TO BRING OSIRIS WITH THE GORY SPECIAL REVERSE STO! OH MY! THE TAKEOVER – WAIT! OSIRIS REVERSES IT INTO A SUNSET FLIP PIN! SKILLED’S SHOULDERS ARE DOWN AND RJ IS LIVID ON THE OUTSIDE TELLING HIS SON TO KICK OUT!

Referee: ONEEEEE!!!!!…..TWOOOO!!!!!!…..THREEEEEE!!!!!

(DING! DING! DING!)

(“I Fall Apart” by Post Malone blasts through the speakers as Osiris quickly rolls out of the ring before Skilled realized what happened, as Osiris and Shackleford hug and raise each other’s arms on the outside.)

Bella Braxton: AND HERE ARE YOUR WINNERS……..THE TEAM OF OSIRIS AND SHAACKLLEEFOOOOORRRDDD!!!!

Rich Russillo: WELL WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT! Osiris and Shackleford the victors tonight but it was not easy by any stretch of imagination! They fought tooth and nail and thanks to some quick-thinking and great reversals they managed to pick up the victory tonight with that sunset flip! Osiris has some good momentum heading into REVOLT 2 and Shackleford can say that he has a win over Jason Skilled which is bound to make some waves in the REVOLT world.

James Peters: Indeed, this was a match that could have gone either way but in the end it was Osiris’ scrappy maneuver’s that won his team the match, and the glory.

(The camera fades back into the arena. There’s a brief pause before “Vampires” by Frank Carter and the Rattlesnakes begins to play and Lucian Baal steps onto the stage. He sighs as he takes a long look at the crowd. He pops his collar and continues down the ramp as the titantron lights up with “BAAL CVLT”)

Bella Braxton: Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome… LUCCCIAAAAAN BAAAAAALLL!!

(Baal grabs a microphone from the ringside area and brings it into the ring with him. As the music begins to die down he raises it up and begins to speak)

Lucian Baal: I don’t believe in being handed anything.

Lucian Baal: You get what you earn and if you don’t earn it you don’t get it. That’s the principle that I believe in, it’s the one I’ve always believed in, even as a young child… but what I’m about to say goes against that all. Last week I had a match and I lost, I haven’t been here long and I haven’t done much…

Lucian Baal: But I want to be the Middleweight Champion.

(There’s a long pause from Baal as most of the crowd begins to cheer. He takes a second to take it in before he raises the microphone up and begins to speak again)

Lucian Baal: Because, there’s another principle that I live by… one that supersedes the other one and that is… when you see an opportunity you take it… and right here, in front of me is an opportunity. Two weeks out from REVOLT 2 and no one else has stepped up to challenge The Prince of Phenomenal for his title. No one. No one from this division, no one from any other division who’s made an attempt to either beef up or cut weight, not a single person has come forward to lay out a challenge and management hasn’t done a thing to find him a challenger… so I’m stepping up. Baal… POP… REVOLT 2.

(Another large cheer from the crowd)

Lucian Baal*gesturing towards the crowd*: It’s a match you all want to see, it’s a match that I have no doubt management would love to sign… but it all comes down to you, champ… what’s it gonna be?

(… “If I Had a Heart” by Fever Ray begins to play as The Prince of Phenomenal steps out onto the stage with a microphone in his hand)

The Prince of Phenomenal: That there, that little thing you did at the end… it all comes down to me, what were you trying to imply there? The crowd loves it, management would love it… but it all comes down to me… are you saying I wouldn’t put this title on the line? Are you accusing me of not being a fighting champion? I don’t like that.

Lucian Baal: That’s not–

The Prince of Phenomenal: No… it was exactly like that. Had it not been like that you wouldn’t have felt a need to say something… like that, in a tone… like that in an attempt to paint me as a coward. You haven’t done a damn thing to deserve this title, not a single thing but you were right in saying that the Middleweight Champion needs a challenger, it’s an absolute crime that I haven’t been given one yet.

The Prince of Phenomenal: I accept your challenge and at REVOLT 2 I’m going to show you exactly the kind of champion I am… I’m going to show you that there’s a reason why no one’s come out to challenge me.

(POP slams the microphone on the ramp and continues down it as the camera fades out)

(Commercial break)

(The camera cuts back into the ring where we hear “Pray For Me” by G-Eazy blasts through the speakers as Andrei Sokolova walks out from the backstage area, holding up his REVOLT! Heavyweight Championship up high. The song then fades before it transitions into “If I Had A Heart” by Fever Ray” as Prince of Phenomenal then walks out in succession, wearing the REVOLT! Middleweight Championship over his shoulder. Him and Sokolova then walk to the ring together.)

Bella Braxton: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS A TAG MATCH SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL! Introducing first! Coming at a combined weight of 465 POOUNDSSS!!!!!……THEY ARE THE TEAM OF THE REVOLT! MIDDLEWEIGHT CHAMPION, AND THE REVOLT! HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION, ANDREIII SOKOLOOVVAAA ANNND PRINCE! OF! PHENOOMEEENAAAAALLL!!!!!

(“Vampires” by Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes then plays as the lights dim and then begin to flash bright white rapidly. Lucian Baal then walks out, popping his collar before walking down to the ring, sliding in and staring at POP. The lights dim then as “For Whom The Bell Tolls” by Metallica plays as The Revenant walks out, as some security guards guards the tunnel entrance. He then proceeds down to the ring, with his manager Bo Maro accompanying him.)

Bella Braxton: AND THEIR OPPONENTS! Coming in at a combined weight of 456 POOUNDSSS!!!!!……THEY ARE THE TEAM OF THE REVEENANNT, ANNDD LUCCIAAANNNN BAAAAAAAALLLLLL!!!!!!

James Peters: Here we are now Rich with another big match-up coming your way, as Champions face Challengers in what is promised to be a high-octane tag team match where we’ll see who will truly come out on top! Prince of Phenomenal and Andrei Sokolova, Heavyweight and Middleweight Champions coming up against Lucian Baal and The Revenant!

Rich Russillo: Interesting.

(DING! DING! DING!)

James Peters: And this match is now officially underway as we see the Middleweight Champion, Prince of Phenomenal starting for his team and The Revenant now being the one to start for his team! The two men approach each other in the center, oh boy this is about to be good! Collar and elbow tie-up between both competitors, each vying for better control in this mutual position, but due to The Revenant’s much larger strength margin, he’s able to push POP down to the mat, before moving behind to a waistlock on the champ! POP THROWS AN ELBOW! It connects, stunning The Revenant but he still has that waistlock on, and POP throws ANOTHER elbow! This time The Revenant lets go and is sent reeling backwards from that shot, as POP turns around towards the big man – BUT OH! CLOTHESLINE BY THE DREADKNIGHT TURNING THE MIDDLEWEIGHT CHAMPION INSIDE OUT AS HE WAS RUSHING TOWARDS HIM! YIKES! Prince of Phenomenal just ran right into that clothesline from The Revenant, stopping him from building upon any momentum he may have had beforehand. Honestly, if POP is hit with anymore hard-hitting strikes like that then maybe his magical and thrilling run of success in REVOLT may unfortunately come to a stop!

James Peters: POP is attempting to recuperate on the mat, using the ropes as leverage to try and get up again but The Revenant grabs the champion from behind before he even recover, grabbing from behind with the waistlock once more! A THUNDEROUS GERMAN SUPLEX CONNECTS FROM THE REVENANT AS HE DROPS POP RIGHT ON HIS NECK! JEEZUS! The ring shook on impact from that German Suplex, as POP couldn’t fight against it at that time due to still having to recover! The Revenant now moves over towards POP, slowly walking towards his opponent…..AND HE GOES ON THE MOUNT FOR A GROUND AND POUND! PRINCE OF PHENOMENAL IS BLOCKING THE SHOTS BUT THE REVENANT’S MAY BE JUST TOO POWERFUL FOR THE MIDDLEWEIGHT CHAMPION TO DO ANYTHING! WOW!

Rich Russillo: I’m surprised that it’s been all The Revenant since the beginning of this match-up, he’s doing a great job of keeping POP isolated and assaulting him too much before he has any chance to breathe.

James Peters: Indeed, but it seems now that Prince of Phenomenal is finally starting to build that energy and wake up! THE REVENANT THROWS ONE MORE ELBOW SHOT TO THE PRINCE OF PHENOMENAL! BUT POP CATCHES IT! POP ROLLS THROUGH AND ESCAPES THE MOUNT WITH GREAT AGILITY! The Champ with the wherewithal as he manages to escape from the deadly mount position that The Revenant had, as both men now rush to their feet! THEY BOTH CHARGE TOWARDS ONE ANOTHER! THE REVENANT GOES FOR A BIG BOOT BUT IT’S DUCKED! He turns around – LOUD ENZIGURI BY THE PRINCE OF PHENOMENAL AND THE REVENANT IS ON SPAGHETTI LEGS! The Prince of Phenomenal now rebounding off the ropes…..RUNNING DROPKICK TO HIS CHEST AND HE IS SENT ROLLING TO THE OUTSIDE! POP’S STILL GOT IT! The Revenant rolls to the outside, taken aback from POP’s sudden comeback as you can now see his partner Lucian Baal on the apron telling him to get back into the ring! The Revenant obliges, sliding i – OH! BUT POP STOPS HIM WITH A BASEBALL SLIDE KICK RIGHT INTO THE HEAD OF THE REVENANT STOPPING HIM FROM GETTING IN AS HE NOW STEPS OUT ONTO THE RINGSIDE AREA! Prince of Phenomenal wants to spill this match onto the outside and The Revenant did not expect that, as POP grabs him by the head and SLAMS IT ONTO THE BARRICADE! POP using the outside to his advantage, but it may prove to be a disadvantage soon as you can see Lucian Baal on the apron stepping off! THEY’RE GETTING IN EACH OTHER’S FACES! OH BOY! Lucian and POP staring each other down and trash-talking right now at the ringside area! Tensions are high in this match and we know Lucian isn’t the legal man in this match right now! Baal and POP still continue to get in each other’s faces – BUT THE REVENANT FROM BEHIND! HE CLUBS POP IN THE SPINE THEN SENDS HIM ROLLING BACK TO THE RING! WOW!

Rich Russillo: That was actually a genius strategy. Lucian didn’t even attack POP but distracted him so that Revenant had enough time to recover and return in this match.

James Peters: The Revenant slides in, RUNNING TOWARDS PRINCE OF PHENOMENAL! BUT POP! POP SPRINGS TO LIFE AND TAGS IN HIS PARTNER, ANDREI SOKOLOVA! THE HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION IS IN THIS MATCH AS OF THIS MOMENT AND IT’S CHAMPION VERSUS CHALLENGER AS SOKOLOVA RUSHES TOWARDS THE REVENANT! FOREARM SMASH BY ANDREI TO THE REVENANT! Revenant still able to use that momentum though to get back up, BUT ANDREI FLIES OFF WITH YET ANOTHER JUMPING FOREARM SMASH TO HIS JAW! Andrei picks up his opponent once more by the wrist and irish whips him into the ropes! A DEVASTATING SPINEBUSTER BY THE HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION DROPPING THE REVENANT ON THE MAT HARD! IT’S BIG MAN AGAINST BIG MAN AND ANDREI LETS OUT A BATTLE CRY WHICH THE CROWD RESPONDS TO POSITIVELY! WE’RE GETTING AN EARLY PREVIEW OF REVOLT 2 TONIGHT AND THIS CROWD IS LOVING IT! Andrei Sokolova now in the corner, waiting and calling for The Revenant to stand up – BUT WAIT! LUCIAN BAAL GRABS THE ARMS OF SOKOLOVA FROM BEHIND AND HOLDS HIM! The Heavyweight Champion’s arms are locked with Baal’s, and this gives The Revenant enough time to recover! A SPINNING BACKFIST BY THE REVENANT TO THE FACE OF THE TRAPPED ANDREI SOKOLOVA! I THINK HE MAY HAVE BROKE HIS NOSE THERE!

Rich Russillo: That’s incredibly smart. Baal is not the legal man but he’s once again coming up with these great plans, double-teaming the champion and resetting the match in his team’s favor! Oh! And now we see that The Revenant has tagged in his partner, finally.

James Peters: LUCIAN BAAL IS NOW IN THIS MATCH OFFICIALLY! Lazarus is here and he is ready to dish out some damage to The Messiah of Your Mind, as he picks him up by the head and lifts him back to a vertical base….SNAP DDT DRIVES SOKOLOVA’S HEAD STRAIGHT INTO THE MAT! The middleweight taking advantage tonight as he now rebounds off the ropes! STANDING DOUBLE FOOT STOMP RIGHT INTO THE CHEST OF SOKOLOVA – NO! ANDREI ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY! Sokolova rises to his feet, BUT LUCIAN FIRES OFF WITH A OVERHEAD KICK! IT CONNECTS, STUNNING SOKOLOVA! Lucian gets back up to his feet then rebounds off the ropes….LIGHTBRINGER! THE SLINGBLADE CONNECTS AS HE DRIVES THE BACK OF ANDREI’S HEAD TO THE MAT! Lucian the freshest man in this match-up wanting to end it all for his team right now, as he stares at the downed Andrei! He then looks towards the top turnbuckle, oh boy! Lucian steps out onto the apron then begins to scale the turnbuckle and I’m afraid we all know what this means! BAAL IS PERCHED ON THE TOP LIKE AN EAGLE WAITING TO STRIKE HIS PREY! HE’S LOOKING FOR THE LAZARUS RISING DOUBLE FOOT STOMP – BUT WAIT! POP! POP FROM THE APRON GRABS LUCIAN BY THE FOOT AND PUSHES HIM OFF THE TURNBUCKLE! WOW! THE MIDDLEWEIGHT CHAMPION MAY HAVE JUST SAVED THE MATCH FOR HIS TEAM, MY GOD! POP JUST TOOK OUT LUCIAN AS HE WAS ATTEMPTING TO HIT HIS FINISHER AND HE HAS NOW JUST SAVED THE ENTIRE MATCH FOR HIS TEAM! He slides into the ring and tells Sokolova to get up! BUT THE REVENANT! THE REVENANT RUSHES IN FROM THE APRON AND BEGINS TO ATTACK POP! LUCIAN IS SLOWLY RISING TO HIS FEET AS WELL AS ANDREI AND NOW THIS HAS DEVOLVED INTO A FULL-ON BRAWL! IT’S COMPLETE CHAOS IN THE RING AND NOT EVEN THE REFEREE CAN GET THE ILLEGAL MEN OUT!

James Peters: PRINCE OF PHENOMENAL AND THE REVENANT ARE GOING AT IT, ANDREI AND LUCIAN ARE BATTLING AND NEITHER MAN IS RELENTING FROM EACH SIDE! IT’S A BRAWL THAT DOESN’T LOOK LIKE IT’S STOPPING! REVENANT GOES FOR A CLOTHESLINE BUT POP DUCKS IT! He turns around – PELE KICK! PELE KICK BY PRINCE OF PHENOMENAL CONNECTS RIGHT ONTO THE BACK OF THE HEAD OF THE REVENANT, KNOCKING HIM DOWN! And here we see Andrei Sokolova and Lucian duking it out here! Lucian hooks the arms of Sokolova AND TRIES TO GO FOR LUX AETERNA! LUX AETERNA! NO! ANDREI DROPS BACK DOWN AND IS SENT REELING BACK INTO THE ROPES…..OH MY GOD! THERE IT IS! SEEING RED! SEEING RED CONNECTS AS THE BICYCLE KNEE STRIKES HIM RIGHT ACROSS THE JAW AND LUCIAN IS KNOCKED SILLY! HE IS DOWN ON THE MAT AS POP RUSHES OFF THE OPPOSITE ROPES THEN GOES! CLOTHESLINE SENDING BOTH HIM AND THE REVENANT TUMBLING OVER THE TOP ROPE, OH MY GOD! ANDREI NODS AS HE SEES THAT MANEUVER BEFORE TURNING HIS ATTENTION TO LUCIAN! HE PICKS HIM UP FROM BEHIND! OH MY! CHAOS CONTROL! CHAOS CONTROL BY ANDREI SOKOLOVA, THE ROLLING CUTTER DRIVING LUCIAN’S HEAD STRAIGHT INTO THE MAT, MY WORD! AND THE HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMP HOOKS THE LEG!

Referee: ONEEEEEE!!!!!……TWOOOOO!!!!!!!!……THREEEEEEE!!!!!!

(DING! DING! DING!)

(“Pray For Me” by G-Eazy plays throughout the arena as Andrei Sokolova rises to his feet, raising his arms and his Heavyweight Championship while POP slides back in and has his hands raised alongside him. The Revenant is dazed on the outside while Lucian is down on the mat.)

Bella Braxton: AND HERE ARE YOUR WINNERS, THE TEAM OF ANDREIII SOKOLLOVAAA, AND PRINCE! OF! PHENOMENAAALLLL!!!!!!!

Rich Russillo: DAMN! Not gonna lie, I think I was more impressed by this match than I had expected it to be. It was hard-hitting, fast-paced, and despite the wherewithal of Revenant and Lucian to double-team and assist each other, in the end it was the team of champions who picked up the victory. Imagine what this must spell though for REVOLT 2, the Champions being the ones successful leading up into our marquee event.

James Peters: All it means is that Lucian and The Revenant have to put in work and see what they could bounce off from this loss tonight. What a match!

(Commercial break)

(The camera cuts back to the ring as “9” by Drake plays throughout the arena as VIP walks out wearing his usual attire, toothpick in his mouth as he smirks knowingly at the crowd. He then walks down to the ring with swagger, laughing at the fans who try to high-five him.)

Bella Braxton: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL! Introducing first, from Toronto, Ontario, Canada! Weighing in at 280 POOOUNDSSS!!!!!……HE IS “THE 6IX GOD” VINCE! I! PRIIIIDEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

Rich Russillo: Looks like it’s the battle of the three-letter names, Peters. All jokes aside, VIP has impressed of late even during losses, last week he went up against Impact and tonight he’s facing the #1 contender to the Welterweight Championship, TLA.

(“Ambitionz Az A Ridah” by 2Pac plays as TLA comes out, accompanied by Steriod Dawg and his “Poon Palace Bitches”. He slowly walks towards the ring, sliding in and taking off his jacket before smirking at VIP who rolls his eyes.)

Bella Braxton: AND HIS OPPONENT! From The Poon Palace in Miami, Florida! Weighing in at 210 POOUNDSSS!!!!!…….THIS IS T! L! AAAAAAAAYYYYY!!!!!!!!

James Peters: HERE HE COMES! TLA is living the life, a life of women, money, and fun, but if there’s something he doesn’t have it’s that Welterweight Championship, The prize that he has his eyes on and tonight, he’s going to have to go through the roadblock that is VIP tonight if he wants to keep his momentum heading into REVOLT 2.

(DING! DING! DING!)

James Peters: And the bell has rung, meaning that this match is underway and here we go! Two different weight classes in a battle that may steal the show tonight as TLA and VIP go head to head! The two competitors meet together in the middle of the ring and lock in a collar and elbow tie-up! VIP is quick to put TLA in a headlock, pushing his neck down and making him struggle, but TLA quickly pushes VIP into the ropes and sends him bouncing back! He pushes him off out of the headlock as VIP comes back, and TLA drops down belly-first into the mat! VIP jumps over him then comes back, AND THERE’S TLA WITH SOME GREAT AGILITY AS HE LEAPS UP FOR A LEAPFROG! TLA turns around as VIP comes back…..AND THERE’S TLA WITH A JUMPING DROPKICK RIGHT INTO HIS FACE, KNOCKING VIP DOWN TO THE MAT! TLA then drops down and takes the time to gloat, spreading his arms wide as the crowd is absolutely loving this man! Being the showboater that he is, I’m sure he’s doing this to try and get into the head of VIP as TLA steps back to his feet. VIP is in the corner, taken by surprise from that dropkick but he quickly gets back to his feet in the corner, turning around – ONLY TO MEET A BIG FOREARM BY TLA RIGHT INTO HIS FACE! TLA doesn’t want to play games tonight as he connects with that forearm right into his jaw, rocking it, and then fires off with a SECOND! VIP is stunned in the corner before TLA grabs him by the wrist, and irish whips him into the opposing corner! HERE HE COMES! RUNNING DOUBLE KNEES – NO! VIP CATCHES THE LEGS OF TLA BEFORE THEY COULD CONNECT!

James Peters: He catches those knees….. And drops him back down to the mat! TLA rises to his feet – ONLY TO MEET A LOUD DISCUS PUNCH FROM VIP! JESUS! THE SOUND OF HIS KNUCKLES CONNECTING TO HIS JAW ECHOED THROUGHOUT THE ARENA AND TLA IS DOWN ON THE MAT! VIP with a discus punch taking his opponent down before he falls on top of him for the first cover of the match!

Referee: ONEEEEE!!!!!

James Peters: KICK OUT! Despite a loud discus punch, it’s not enough to keep him down. VIP looks almost surprised though. VIP rises to his feet and now begins to VICIOUSLY STOMP AWAY AT TLA! He’s breaking him down with these stomps at first to keep him down before he hits him with another big move to maybe end the job, but if we’ve seen anything from TLA it’s that he isn’t going to go down that easily! VIP now stops his stomping assault, picking him back to his feet, hooking the arm….FOR AN ABDOMINAL STRETCH!

Rich Russillo: VIP going old school with that submission as he has TLA trapped, and contrary to what we see that move is actually very powerful and dangerous! That could actually tear a muscle if he pulls back hard enough.

James Peters: TLA feeling the pain right now as VIP is just wearing him down with this maneuver, old school submission, but TLA is regaining some of his energy! He’s balling up his fists to try and rally himself, and…….TLA with an elbow to the gut of VIP! An elbow using his free arm but VIP still has that stretch locked in! A second elbow to the gut! A third! A fourth and VIP is loosening up, AND TLA USES HIS STRENGTH TO PULL VIP OVER WITH A HIP TOSS! Hip toss reversal by TLA stopping VIP from continuing that submission but it’s clear there was some damage one to that arm as VIP gets back up to his feet! AND TLA DOESN’T WANT TO GO SLOW AS HE BEGINS TO RAPIDLY STRIKE VIP WITH ALL KINDS OF ATTACKS! Shoot kicks, forearms, elbows, spinning kicks! Every strike in the book is being used right now! A LOUD ROUNDHOUSE KICK BY TLA INTO THE SIDE OF VIP’S HEAD, and now TLA rebounds off the ropes! HURRICANRANA BY TLA SENDING VIP DOWN INTO THE MAT AND ROLLING TO THE OUTSIDE! TLA regaining some of that energy and momentum that was lost before as he sees VIP is in the perfect position on the outside! He then bounces off the ropes and comes back! SUICIDE DIVE! SUICIDE DIVE – WAIT! VIP CATCHES TLA BY THE THROAT! HE CATCHES HIM BY THE THROAT BEFORE HE COULD HIT THAT SUICIDE DIVE….OH MY GOD! CHOKESLAM ON THE APRON BY VIP AS HE SLAMMED TLA’S SPINE INTO THE HARDEST PART OF THE RING! DAMN! VIP may have broken TLA’s back with that chokeslam as he pushes him rolling back into the ring, and he slides in! He then places TLA between his legs…..AND LIFTS HIM UP! HERE WE GO! THE VERY IMPORTANT POWERBOMB MAY BE IN TLA’S FUTURE TONIGHT AS VIP HAS HIM IN POSITION – VERY IMPORTANT POWERBOMB!

James Peters: NO! WAIT! TLA USES THE HEIGHT AND ESCAPES THE CRUCIFIX HOLD AND STANDS ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! WOW! TLA just got out of that crucifix hold due to the height and is now in a precarious position on the top rope, slowly turning around as VIP realizes! VIP SEES TLA AND CHARGES! BUT TLA STOPS HIM WITH A BOOT TO THE CHEST! THEN A HEADBUTT! A SECOND HEABUTT AND VIP DROPS RIGHT BACK ON THE MAT AFTER TRYING TO PUT A STOP TO TLA! AND TLA IS ON THE TOP! OH MYYYY! THIS MIGHT BE IT! TLA IS READY, STANDING TALL AND THE FANS KNOW IT! HERE WE GO! BURRNOOUUTTTT!!!

Rich Russillo: LOOK AT THE ATHLETICISM! THE CORKSCREW 360 SENTON, WOW! AND TLA HOOKS THE LEG OF VIP! That will never get old.

Referee: ONEEEEEE!!!!!!…..TWOOOOOOO!!!!!!……THREEEEEE!!!!!

(DING! DING! DING!)

(“Ambitionz Az A Ridah” by 2Pac plays as TLA stands back up to his feet, smiling with his hands raised high.)

Bella Braxton: AND HERE IS YOUR WINNER…….T! L! AAAAAYYYYYYY!!!!!!

Rich Russillo: TLA finishing VIP off with a beautiful Burnout to end it all, coming out as the victor with momentum heading into REVOLT 2 which is exactly what he needed. VIP with a hard loss tonight but can’t fret, the kid’s going to be a star in the future if he keeps his heart and drive, but tonight TLA was just the better man.

(Commercial break)

(We return from commercial as “Long Live the Chief” by Jidenna hits as Maximus Grier steps onto the stage flanked by the same large man we saw earlier in the night. The individual takes a few steps forward, Grier glances up at him and grins before continuing down the ramp)

Bella Braxton: Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome… MAAAAXXXXIIIMMMMMMUSSSSS GRRRIIIIIEEERRRRR!!

James Peters: WHO IS THAT?!

Rich Russillo: Beats me Peters, but it’s clear he’s affiliated with Grier in some way…

(Grier enters the ring with a microphone)

Rich Russillo: Hopefully we’re about to get our answer right now!

(Grier again glances up at the individual. He takes a few steps to the side and puts his left hand out before raising the microphone up to his mouth)

Grier: THIS… IS… OSHIRO!!

(The crowd reacts mildly, mostly boos)

Grier: I SAID… THIS IS OSHIRO!!

(The boos get louder, causing Grier to become visibly agitated but he quickly regains his composure and begins to laugh into the microphone)

Maximus Grier: After Chris Elite shoehorned himself into the Welterweight Championship match at REVOLT 2, it made me realize something. It made me realize just how desperate he is to get my title. Desperate men do desperate, stupid things and I thought to myself… “What’s the stupidest, most desperate thing Chris Elite could do in an attempt to take my title from me” and the answer became quite clear, he could sic Big Mike on me, have him take me out, put me out of action.

Maximus Grier: In our encounter at REVOLT 1 and the build up to it, Big Mike didn’t play much of a role… he stayed hidden for much of it, lurking in the shadows and never striking… and because of that… *Grier glances down at his Welterweight Championship*… Elite couldn’t defeat me. Maybe he thought he could do it on his own, but now he knows he can’t and has to resort to other measures. Couple that with this title and I have a target the size of Texas on my back… AND I NEED PROTECTING!

Maximus Grier: And that’s where this gentlemen comes in… once again… THIS IS OSHIRO!! AND LOOK AT HIM!! FEAR HIM!!

(Oshiro stares at the crowd, a blank but cold expression on his face, he’s met with a chorus of boos. Grier inches forward in the ring, pointing at the stage)

Maximus Grier: We’re even now, Elite! You hear that?! I’ve foiled your plans, you won’t be able to play your games! Try anything and I promise OH I PROMISE YOU OSHIRO WILL SEND YOU AND BIG MIKE BACK TO WHEREVER IT IS YOU COME FROM… HE–

(“Down and Out” by Camron feat. Kanye West hits as Chris Elite steps onto the stage, microphone in hand and Big Mike at his side)

Chris Elite: Bro?

(Elite and Big Mike exchange confused looks)

Chris Elite: Are you okay? You seem to be a little… paranoid.

(Both men continue down the ramp)

Chris Elite: I don’t have any tricks up my sleeve, I’m not planning any games… I have no plot for Big Mike to take you out, I don’t need him… *gesturing towards Big Mike*… no offense of course. I can defeat you all by myself. I came within inches at REVOLT 1, I am not going to fail a second time.

Maximus Grier: Please you expect me to believe you? If you could beat me you would’ve beat me.

(Elite and Big Mike step into the ring)

Maximus Grier: But you didn’t! You threw everything you had at me and I was able to overcome it all! THAT’S WHY I HAVE THIS TITLE AND YOU DON’T! Of course you need Big Mike to beat me…

Chris Elite: … Maybe.

James Peters: OH AND BIG MIKE CHARGES AT OSHIRO WITH A CLOTHESLINE, BUT OSHIRO DUCKS UNDER IT… NOW LIFTING BIG MIKE UP AND DRIVING HIM DOWN INTO THE CANVAS WITH A POWERSLAM!! WOW WHAT STRENGTH!! ELITE LOOKS ON IN DISBELIEF… BUT OH FROM BEHIND!! GRIER WITH THE ACID TEST!! THE ACID TEST RIGHT TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD AND ELITE IS LAID OUT, RIGHT NEXT TO BIG MIKE!!

(Maximus Grier stands over Chris Elite and raises his Welterweight Championship high into the air as the camera fades out into commercial)

(Final commercial break)

(“End of Days” by Jim Johnston hits as smoke covers the ramp and stage, immediately following which Liam Archer walks out from the behind the curtain to a mixed reaction from the audience)

Bella Braxton: The following match is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Ballymun, Dublin, Ireland, weighing in at 225 pounds… LIAMMMM ARCHERRRR!!!

Russillo: Liam’s out tonight to prove his victory over Lucian Baal was no mistake. Now he gets the chance to fight against a legend in the flesh with another in his corner.

(“Put ‘Em Up” by Lupe Fiasco hits. He and his Liquid Swords partner Impact hear an immediate chorus of boos from the capacity crowd. A red glow accompanies the dim lights, and smoke billows through the stage entrance before Mr. DEDEDE is spotted with a sole spotlight wandering out through the smoke. He surveys the crowd with a thousand yard stare, and the spotlight on him begins to glow red before he makes his somber walk to the ring)

Bella Braxton: And his opponent, accompanied to the ring by Impact, from Bridgeport, Connecticut, weighing in at 240 pounds…. he is one half of Liquid Swords… MISTERRRRRRR DEDEDEEEEEE!!!!

Peters: Liam thought he had it tough against Lucian Baal. He may not have a single idea what’s in store for him tonight against Mr. DEDEDE.

(Ding! Ding! Ding!)

Peters: This bout between Mr. DEDEDE and Liam is underway! Liam and Mr. DEDEDE are circling each other, and Liam doesn’t show any fear of the wrestling juggernaut as he dives head-in for an attempted tie-up, but DEDEDE doesn’t play into his game, connecting with a stiff kick to the back of Liam Archer’s calf! Liam shrieks in pain for a brief moment, but as DDD tries to clutch on the back of Liam and set him up for something, Liam retaliates with a stiff kick to DDD’s calf! Who would have ever thought Liam would be able to trade shots with DEDEDE? And DDD quickly responds with a thumb to the eye of Archer, temporarily obscuring his vision as he wrenches Liam in and CONNECTS with the Impaler! The Lifting Impaler DDT just absolutely plants the cranium of Liam Archer. DDD drops down into a lateral press pin!

Ref: ONEEEEEEE!!!!… TWOOOOOOO!!!….

Peters: A kickout! DDD was trying to end it all then and there, but Liam Archer won’t be put away so easily!

Russillo: Still, look at the reddening texture of Liam Archer’s skin. He’s overexerting himself to stand on equal footing with the legend in the flesh, one half of the Liquid Swords, Mr. DEDEDE!

Peters: Be that as it may, this is the kind of valiant effort and resilience he’s going to need in order to stand a fighting chance against a competitor cut from this kind of cloth. DDD now smacks Liam Archer around as he’s grounded on the mat, and Liam in a daze starts tugging on the ropes! DDD responds by smacking the back of Liam’s head, ordering him to get back up as an overjoyed Impact watches from the sidelines! DEDEDE successfully forces Liam up with his pure brute strength, now SMACKING him in the face! DEDEDE is subjecting Liam Archer to all manners of disrespect right now, but you can see Liam’s engine revving up, he’s getting pissed off! DEDEDE is saying “COME ON” AND LIAM DOES EXACTLY THAT, SLAPPING THE TASTE OUT OF MR. DEDEDE’S MOUTH! THAT SLAP CAUSES DEDEDE TO RECOIL AND LIAM ARCHER DOESN’T WASTE ANY TIME DARTING THE TOWARD ROPES, SPRINGBOARDING OFF THEM AND MANEUVERING DOWNWARD TO EXECUTE THE SPRINGBOARD CUTT–NO! ARCHER HAD THE SPRINGBOARD CUTTER, BUT DDD PUSHES HIM OFF BEFORE LIAM IS ABLE TO BRING HIM DOWN, FLINGING HIM OFF THE ROPES AND MEETING HIM AS HE REBOUNDS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING WITH A BIG BOOT! DDD IS INCENSED LIAM JUST ABOUT HAD HIM RIGHT THERE, IMMEDIATELY TAKING HIM BACK TO HIS FACE, SMACKING HIM IN THE FACE AGAIN!

Russillo: And you can see his Liquid Swords partner enjoying every moment of this. They take some sick twisted joy in crushing these rookies for sport! Liam may not be done yet, he’s out to prove he’s far more than just some “rookie.”

Peters: DDD hoists Liam Archer high above his shoulders, setting him up to plant him with a Vertical Suplex, but Liam maneuvers his weight downward to regain a vertical base as DDD has to turn around, but is met with a kick to the midsection! AND LIAM SPRINGS OFF THE ROPES YET AGAIN, AND THIS TIME IT CONNECTS! THE ABNB SPRINGBOARD CUTTER CONNECTS, LAYING MR. DEDEDE OUT! AND LIAM ARCHER WITH A HOOK OF THE LEG FOR THE COVER!

Ref: ONEEEEEEEEEE!!!!…. TWOOOOOOOOO!!!…. THRRR—

Peters: BUT A KICKOUT FROM MR. DEDEDE! SOMEHOW, SOME WAY, HE JUST DUG INTO HIS RESERVES AND MANAGED TO SNATCH A SECOND OPPORTUNITY FROM THE JAGGED FANGS OF CERTAIN DEFEAT! LIAM ARCHER IS IN UTTER DISBELIEF, HE LOOKS AT THE REFEREE AND SMACKS HIS HANDS TOGETHER TWICE TO SIGNIFY THAT HE THOUGHT IT WAS A THREE COUNT! NO BUENO! LIAM ARCHER HAS TO REGAIN HIS BREATH AFTER EXHIBITING SOME OF HIS AERIAL ARSENAL RIGHT THERE, NOW SLOWLY SAUNTERING OVER TO THE ROPES… HE’S WAITING FOR DDD TO RISE TO HIS FEET SO HE CAN RUN THROUGH HIM LIKE A FREIGHT TRAIN WITH THAT “MIDNIGHT RIDE” V-TRIGGER! DDD IS UP AND LIAM ARCHER CHARGES FORWARD! MIDNIGHT RIDE! MIDNIGHT RIDE!

Peters: NO! DDD ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY AT THE LAST SECOND, SIDESTEPPING THE MIDNIGHT RIDE AND CONNECTS WITH A BRIDGING GERMAN SUPLEX! THE PIN!

Ref: ONEEEEEEEEEE!!!!… TWOOOOOOOOOO!!!…

Peters: BUT A KICKOUT! WHAT A FAST-PACED OFFENSIVE DISPLAY BY THESE TWO WRESTLERS TONIGHT.

Russillo: Indeed! Liam Archer is showing he belongs and DEDEDE is as good as ever!

Peters: DDD runs his fingers through his hair maniacally as he’s trying to finish this bout, positioning himself in the corner and STALKING Liam Archer like the perfect predator, salivating at the mouth waiting for him to rise his feet! AND LIAM ARCHER IS UP! DDD IMMEDIATELY SEES THIS, CHARGING FORWARD LIKE A BULL… SPEAAAAAAAAAAAAA–WHAT?! LIAM ARCHER VERTICALLY LEAPS OVER THE SPEAR, AND DDD LANDS FACE-FIRST INTO THE MIDDLE TURNBUCKLE! DDD STAGGERS BACKWARD, HIS VISION IMPEDED, AND NOW LIAM ARCHER WRENCHES HIM IN WITH A DOUBLE UNDERHOOK! DARK DESIRES! HE’S GOING FOR THE DARK DESIRES DOUBLE UNDERHOOK DDT, BUT DDD IS TRYING TO SQUIRM HIS WAY OUT OF IT – AND HE DOES, CONTORTING HIS BODY AND TWISTING HIMSELF AROUND LIAM ARCHER, PUSHING LIAM OFF THE ROPES AND GOING FOR THE SPEAR AGAIN AS LIAM MEETS HIM IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING – BUT LIAM SPITS IN DDD’S FACE, BLINDING HIM FOR A BRIEF MOMENT! AND DDD IS WRENCHED IN THE DOUBLE UNDERHOOK POSITION BY LIAM YET AGAIN! HE’S GOING TO EXECUTE THE DARK DESIRES DDT FOR SURE THIS TIME!

Russillo: NO!!!

Peters: AN ASTOUNDING, RESOURCEFUL BACK-BODY DROP BY ONE HALF OF THE LIQUID SWORDS TO PREVENT LIAM ARCHER FROM EXECUTING THE DARK DESIRES DDT! LIAM ARCHER IS UP TO HIS FEET AS DDD IS TRYING TO CATCH HIS BREATH FROM THE CORNER, LIAM ARCHER RISES TO HIS FEET….

Peters: SPEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRR!!!! THE SPEAR CONNECTS, OUT OF NOWHERE, THE CROWD DIDN’T THINK DDD HAD THAT MUCH LEFT IN HIM, BUT HE DID! DDD COLLAPSES OVER LIAM ARCHER FOR THE COVER!

Ref: ONEEEEEEEEEE!!!!…. TWOOOOOOOOOO!!!!…. THREEEEEEEEE!!!!!

(Ding! Ding! Ding!)

(“Put ‘Em Up” by Lupe Fiasco hits as the referee raises Mr. DEDEDE’s arm victoriously. He walks out of the ring and onto the outside where Impact nods approvingly, as if he isn’t surprised with the victory, but the effort Liam Archer showed)

Bella Braxton: The winner of this match by pinfall…. MISTERRRRRR DEDEDE!!!

Russillo: Archer put up an incredible fight tonight. Absolutely nothing to be ashamed of. He just couldn’t hit that Double Underhook DDT.

Peters: It’s something that’s going to come with experience for him. Nevertheless, what a heart-stopping main event! Some great back-and-forth action between these two!

(Camera fades to black and the REVOLT! logo buzzes)
