EAW
(EAW Intro Plays)
(The overhead scene of Madrid, Spain, the beautiful landscape, the historic city such as El Prado, Plaza Mayor, and the Royal Palace just to name a few, but in the distance, there is a lightning storm coming, and one man walks on the grounds of one of the most famous old city streets of the historic part of the city, where once a year they have the running of the bulls.)
Narrator: ¿Qué es el valor de choque? What is, Shock Value?
(The narrator walks through the streets, but in the distance, a lightning storm approaches. He looks up and smiles, then turns back to the camera facing him.)
Narrator: Y a medida que se acerca la tormenta, también lo hacen las gladiadoras de la EAW… yes, as the storm approaches, so do the gladiators from the EAW.)
(The footage switches to Holly Arrow attacking Harper Lee, but then her former best friend is trying to avoid her, just as it switches to Hikari Kanno, fresh off being traded from Showdown as her and Holly are ready to collide, Harper in the background laughing as a special referee.)
Narrator: Pero mientras se preparan para la batalla, primero deben montar en el relámpago, en algunas de las partidas más peligrosas jamás creadas…. Yes But as they prepare for battle, they must first ride the lightning, in some of the most dangerous matches ever created.
(The scene shifts to Bea Valentine having a mental breakdown after losing Gloria after her Specialist Championship was stolen by a smiling Valerie Hellstorm. Both women then come blow to blow. It then slowly fades to Alex Myers and Ruler, tag partners, friends, and now foes against one another, standing on opposite sides of an Electric Chair.)
Narrator: Pero no todas las guerras se resuelven en un mero combate, deben resolverse en situaciones extremas para finalmente tener un ganador…. But not all wars are settled in just mere combat, they must be settled in extreme situations to finally have a winner.
(As thunder is heard in the distance and lightning flashes, suddenly it shows Drake King throwing a fit and then laughing when he sees Jamie O’Hara standing across from him as they are ready for battle. Two of the top stars, then it switches to ARIA standing on the ropes, signaling to the crowd, before she is face to face with Minerva, the Universal Women’s Champion as the champ herself narrows her eyes and smiles, holding up the title.)
Narrator: ¿Qué sucede cuando cinco de los mejores son puestos en una partida que no tiene nada más que caos escrito, solo para tener una oportunidad de alcanzar la inmortalidad? What happens when five of the best are put into a match that has nothing but chaos written on it, just for a shot at immortality?
(As the storm approaches closer, the footage shows Rex McAllister standing there ready to become a World Champion, then it transitions to Jack Ripley who pumps his chest after a recent victory, only to fade into Cameron Ella Ava who is standing on the ropes pointing at the crowd, to Donovan Duke who smiles while giving high fives to the fans, to finally Dr. Bethany Blue with a scowl on her face, placing the glove on her hand. As all five competitors look to be in a Clusterfuck to become the number one contender for the EAW World Championship.)
Narrator: ¿Podrán sobrevivir a la tormenta, a los impactantes resultados, llegar a la cima para agarrar lo que es suyo y desafiar a uno de los dos mejores guerreros que harán cualquier cosa para matarse entre sí para tener la oportunidad de ser llamados Campeón Mundial de EAW? … Can they survive the storm, the shocking results, reach to the very top to grab what is theirs and challenge one of the top two warriors that will do anything to kill one another for the chance to be called EAW World Champion?
(The scene switches to TLA wanting to grapes the EAW World Championship and Charlie Marr kissing the belt’s faceplate after he won it, cashing in the Cash In The Vault. The two then look at each other face to face ready to electrify the crowd, and themselves.)
Narrator: La tormenta está aquí … y ¿estás lista para Shock Value?…. The storm is here… and are you ready for Shock Value?
(It starts to rain, as thunder and lightning light up the sky. The Narrator spreads his arms and smes as the scene slowly fades away from the streets of Madrid.)

???: AND NOW DORITOS AND GHOSTBUSTERS: FROZEN EMPIRE PRESENT A VOLTAGE EXCLUSIVE BRAND EVENT – SHOCK VALUE!
(The camera pans inside the Madrid Arena as the sold out crowd stand to their feet cheering, the pyros go off as “Fuel” by Metallica plays throughout the stadium until the camera pans to the announce team of James Peters, Rich Russillo, and Persephone.)
James Peters: HELLO FANS AND WE ARE LIVE FROM MADRID, SPAIN FOR THE 2024 VOLTAGE EXCLUSIVE BRAND MARQUEE EVENT… SHOCK VALUE! I AM JAMES PETERS ALONGSIDE MY PARTNERS PERSEPHONE AND RICH RUSSILLO! WHAT AN INCREDIBLE NIGHT OF ACTION WE HAVE HERE TONIGHT! THREE TITLES ON THE LINE, A CLUSTERFUCK OF A MATCH AND SOME BAD BLOOD!
Rich Russillo: IT REALLY IS JAMES AND THIS SOLD OUT CROWD IS READY TO GET SHOCKED WITH ALL THE STIPULATIONS AND THE TOP STARS OF THE VOLTAGE BRAND AND THE ENTIRE EAW ROSTER! COULD WE SEE NEW CHAMPIONS TONIGHT! WE WILL DEFINITELY SEE A NEW NUMBER ONE CONTENDER FOR THE EAW WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP! I AM EXCITED!
Persephone: Shocking….. Pun totally intended. Oh right, I need to yell here. WELL WHY WASTE ANYMORE TIME AND LETS GO TO BELLA BRAXTON WHO IS READY TO ANNOUNCE THE PARTICIPANTS OF THE OPENING MATCH! Was that better?
Rich Russillo: Totally.
James Peters: Absolutely.
(The graphics to the first match of Shock Value appear.)
(https://i.ibb.co/2YGLwtT/Minerva-Vs-ARIA.png)
Bella Braxton: The following contest is an Electrified TLC match, and it is for the EAW Universal Women’s Championship!)
(All of the lights seemed to shut out at the arena, the only light source coming from the titantron. A simple melody starts to play while the titantron showed a simple image of a light source shining through what seemed to be a gigantic hole in the ground, what could only be seen inside of it was a field of dead flowers rummaging through the dirt, but if you looked closer, you could see one yellow flower standing among the field, it was at it final seconds, it was completely beaten with its leafs torn out of it, with only a few petals hanging on for dear life, even through all of the pain, it still kept its yellow color…with how things were going, it was going to become just like the dead flowers surrounding it…
…
…
…
But it refused.)
(The titantron went to black once more and it lit up slightly as the melody was joined along with drums, with phrases slowly showing along with each passing phrase, a heart being implemented into the background.)
(Perseverance will keep you strong
Integrity will help you to be honest.
Patience will show you the patterns.
Kindness will show the good that you can be.
Justice will lead you down the right path.
Bravery will let you fight through the darkness.
And Determination…won’t let your soul die)
(And as soon as all the phrases appeared, it showed 7 hearts next to each other, Purple, Blue, Cyan, Green, Yellow, Orange…and Red. All the hearts slowly started merging into one as a big flash of lights flashed across the screen and it lit up the whole stadium for a few seconds before everything went to black as the melody stopped right there. Then…a violin starts to play that with each passing second lit the stage up until suddenly it explodes into a scenery of various colors as the name of ARIA in gold letters flashes right across the titantron.)
(Yes…I am indeed going with this.)
(‘Hopes and Dreams / SAVE the World’ by Toby Fox starts to play, the crowd exploding in cheers when they hear the iconic song playing, that is when the wrestler coming out in question appeared. Aria walks out onto the stage with a determined expression on her face, the crowd letting out an even bigger pop when she appeared, her whole wrestling gear looked different, as it was colored purple and blue to symbolize the human who saved the monsters. She even had around her neck a necklace with a gold heart hanging at the end.)
Bella Braxton: Introducing first, the challenger! From Chandler, Arizona, weighing in at 110 pounds…. She is ‘The Absolute Truth’, ARIIIIIIIIIAAAAAAAAAA!
Rich Russillo: ARIA has transformed as a person and an Elitist, finding that killer instinct and doing all she can to show the world she truly belongs at the top. She was able to defeat Harper Lee to get to this point, and we’ve seen and heard just how determined she is to win.
James Peters: An elaborate entrance here by the challenger, but will it lead to her claiming a world title for the first time in her EAW career? We know just how gutsy and resilient ARIA is, but so is Minerva, and this can easily be the toughest match of her career to get through.
Persephone: Perhaps, but I guess we’ll have to wait and see, won’t we? As long as she can make her bleed, I’ll be content with that.
Rich Russillo: …
James Peters: …
(Aria tried to keep a brave face as she looked around at all of the cheering fans, she let out a determined smile as she walked down the ramp, taking in all the atmosphere and feeling more and more joyous as the song continued to play, running through onto the ring apron and getting up at the corner, turning to the camera and pointing two finger guns right at it as the second part of the song played.
“Save the World…at all costs.”
She turned to the ring and jumped inside, landing on the center of the ring and striking a pose as she landed, pyro coming right out from the corners of the ring as she struck it, multi colored pyro shooting out as Aria showed the most brave expression she has shown before…she wasn’t going to let her dream die here.)
(The Tron starts to play as the arena goes dark, the sounds of the Gypsy Chants, Symbols and Cimbaloms begin to play when suddenly the rift of “Blood, Milk & Sky” by White Zombie plays, echoing when a lone spotlight is shown where Minerva is on the stage, kneeling and licking her lips, looking around wearing her hat and Glasses, carrying her gypsy chain, an orange rose and wearing an intricate black jacket. She slowly looks around with a smile on her face before crawling a little and slowly standing on her two feet placing the rose in her mouth.)
Bella Braxton: And the champion! From the Florida Everglades, weighing in tonight at 122 pounds, she is the EAW Universal Women’s Champion… ‘The Black Rose’, MIIIIIINEEEEEEERRRRRRRRVVVVAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
Rich Russillo: Ever dominant and determined in her own right, the champion is here, and she looks to have another successful defense in the books. Still, she could have bitten off more than she could chew as ARIA has shown she is far from weak, especially when she sent Minerva through that table that one time. Minerva said the mind games were all to see how far this new side of ARIA was willing to go, but that could make her dangerous.
James Peters: You’re right, Rich. We know how dangerous Minerva is in her own right, but there’s still that element of unknown when it comes to ARIA, and as far as I’m concerned? That could either help or hurt her.
Persephone: Well, if that means they beat the piss out of each other, I’m all for it.
(The crowd cheers as she starts to laugh before looking around wide-eyed and making her way to the ring. She stops and gets close to some of the fans before backing up and licking her lips again. Turning to the ramp-way where she points to the ceiling, her eyes roll to the back of her head, not moving, making the signal of the cross. Minerva starts to sneer before she skips down to the ring, twirling her rose and hopping on the apron, hanging upside down on the ropes for a moment as the crowd continues to boo.)
(Minerva slowly gets back into the ring and stands in the middle, looking around before walking to the corner and leaning against the turnbuckle in a seated position, taking off her hat and licking her lips with a smirk on her face, waiting for the match to begin, while twirling the rose. Her sights fall on ARIA, who stares right back at her, eager for the match to get underway.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Rich Russillo: Here we go! Our opening contest is on the way! Minerva and ARIA look up to see the Universal Women’s Championship hanging right above them, and they see exactly what they are fighting for here!
James Peters: One of them is going to climb and retrieve that coveted championship, but they have to get through one another first before they can do that. As a matter of fact, Minerva is starting off hot as she quickly rushes towards ARIA, and she comes in with a series of forearm smashes to the face!
Persephone: Oh good, no stupid “ReAl GrApS” sequence to start the match. Shock Value may actually be a great show after all! They should go ahead and kill each other with all these weapons!
Rich Russillo: Well, that wouldn’t exactly be favorable considering the goal is to get the Universal Women’s Championship and win the match that way, but the fans here are clammoring for some violence, and right now, Minerva is giving them what they want! She backs ARIA up against the ropes and starts to light her up with a series of chops to the chest!
Jame Peters: No restraints here by the defending champion. As much as these two may respect each other, that goes out the window in a match of this environment. Minerva grabs her by the wrist and whips her into the other set of ropes, waiting for her on the rebound! She goes for a clothesline– But ARIA slides in between her legs and pops up with a dropkick! That manages to have Minerva stumble!
Persephone: ARIA gets up and she delivers another dropkick. She gets up and fires off with a forearm to the face! Oooh, that was nasty! Hit her again and draw some blood!
Rich Russillo: And ARIA follows that up with a knee to the gut! She takes hold of Minerva and whips her into the ropes, and this time, she’s the one waiting… Minerva comes back and the challenger leaps up into the air, looking for a hurricanarana! She flip back–
James Peters: But Minerva stops her in her tracks! She has her up! A troubling predicament here for the challenger as she’s seemingly stuck!
Persephone: Welp, that was fun while it lasted.
Rich Russillo: And Minerva looks to send her down with a powerbomb– Wait, no! Arm drag by ARIA! She was able to turn that momentum around and use it to her advantage! Minerva rolls through, racing up to her feet, but ARIA runs at her and catches her with a calf kick to the face!
James Peters: ARIA is able to stay a step ahead here. She grabs hold of the champion and sets her up, possibly going for a suplex, but Minerva still has some fight in her, and she sends a barrage of punches to her gut! ARIA is visibly wincing as each strike lands!
Persephone: Yeah, she isn’t going to hang on for long. Minerva slips out and clocks her in the face with a big boot!
Rich Russillo: That catches ARIA, but she doesn’t go down. In fact, she kindly responds with a boot of her own!
James Peters: Well, that made Minerva go wide in the eyes! However, she kicks her in the face with another stiff boot, and she throws in another one for good measure! Oh, this is starting to get a bit hard hitting!
Persephone: As it should be.
Rich Russillo: The fans sure are liking it as ARIA and Minerva aren’t holding anything back! ARIA stiffs her in the face again, and now, both Elitists step up to one another!
James Peters: Oh! Smack from Minerva! ARIA fires off with a smack of her own! Now they’re just going at it! Slaps are flying everywhere!
Persephone: Hell yeah! Just rip into one another!
Rich Russillo: And ARIA steps back, hitting Minerva in the gut with a spinning back heel kick! She follows that up with a discus forearm! Minerva looks to be staggered here as the challenger hits the ropes–
James Peters: But she goes down with an STO! Minerva was able to thwart her! She gets up and hits the ropes, and she comes back down with a running leg drop! That gets all of ARIA’s throat and she starts to cough!
Persephone: Yeah, not a good look here. Minerva gets her up and sends her into the corner and comes running on in, hitting a back elbow. She rolls forward, gaining some space, and runs in, hitting a jumping knee! Damn!
Rich Russillo: And it looks like the champion is on a roll here as she fires off to the ropes and comes in, meeting up with a stumbling ARIA! BULLDOG! She plants her face right into the mat, and ARIA is laid out!
James Peters: An insane sequence there that manages to halt the challenger for the time being. Minerva rolls out, and it seems like she’s looking to do some extra damage here! She grabs one of the electrified chairs!
Persephone: :blessed: No stupid graps, all-out violence, and getting straight to the point? This match is like a dream come true! Give us pain, give us blood, give us everything and more!
Rich Russillo: You are far too enthusiastic about this, but then again, it’s better than the alternative…
James Peters: Minerva comes sliding in with that chair and raises it up high, ready to strike ARIA–
Persephone: Wait, what the hell? She just kicked her in the knee!
Rich Russillo: That she did, because she realized what was about to happen, and she isn’t in the camp of getting hit! Minerva advances forward again, but another kick stops her and makes her drop to one knee! She also drops the chair!
James Peters: ARIA isn’t ready for the sparks to fly just yet, but she’s ready to knock Minerva’s head clean off her shoulder! Shining wizard connects!
Persephone: Oh, man. I was hoping we’d see someone get fried. 😔
Rich Russillo: Well, the night is still young. However, ARIA doesn’t want to be on the receiving end of that. She slides out of the ring and goes to retrieve one of the ladders. She comes back in and sets it up. Looks like she’s going to climb and retrieve the championship as soon as possible!
Persephone: Pussy.
James Peters: ARIA looks to make the climb, but Minerva gets back up and heads over to her, catching her with a punch! Then another! ARIA backs off and Minerva comes charging on in, looking to catch her with a kick to the face–
Persephone: But ARIA trips her up, and she falls face first towards the steps–
Rich Russillo: NO! MINERVA IS ABLE TO HOLD ONTO THE SIDES AND STOPS HERSELF SHORT FROM FALLING! THAT WAS A CLOSE CALL!
James Peters: It certainly was! That could’ve been nasty real soon–
Persephone: Oh, damn! ARIA just dropkicked her from behind and Minerva crashes into the ladder! Her face hit the step!
Rich Russillo: Guess we spoke too soon! The challenger has the champion down, and ARIA looks to do some more damage to her! Minerva is looking to be in a bad spot here.
James Peters: No kidding. The challenger is in control here, and she looks to maintain that as she grabs Minerva and whips her into the corner. ARIA runs in after her and catches her with a boot to the face! The champion drops to a seated position and ARIA comes back in with a face wash!
Persephone: She isn’t done, though. She holds onto the top ropes and springs up, coming back down with a twisting body splash onto Minerva!
Rich Russillo: A lot of heavy offense from the challenger as she’s able to keep the pressure up. She drags Minerva out of the corner and gets her up… SUPLEX! Minerva is down, clutching her back as she winces!
James Peters: And ARIA looks up, seeing the Universal Women’s Championship hanging up there. Seems like she’s looking to make another attempt at climbing here, wanting to be a world champion as soon as possible!
Persephone: Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame.
Rich Russillo: Well, ARIA isn’t wasting time! She starts to make the climb, going step by step as she looks to reach up and take the title–
(***THWAAAAAAAAAACK!***)
James Peters: OH MY GOD! MINERVA JUST HIT ARIA WITH AN ELECTRIFIED CHAIR, AND SPARKS GO FLYING EVERYWHERE! ARIA COMES CRASHING DOWN, WRITHING IN ABSOLUTE PAIN!!
Persephone: Finally! :blessed:
Rich Russillo: AND WHAT A SHOT THAT WAS! ARIA IS DOWN AND SHE LOOKS TO BE IN AGONY FROM THAT! MINERVA DOESN’T HAVE A SINGLE MERCIFUL BONE IN HER BODY, THOUGH! SHE RAISES THE CHAIR UP AGAIN!
(***THWAAAAAAAAAACK!***)
James Peter: ANOTHER BRUTAL CHAIR SHOT TO ARIA’S BODY! THIS IS STARTING TO DEVOLVE FAST FOR THE CHALLENGER!
Persephone: Eh, it’s just a flesh wound.
Rich Russillo: Minerva drops the chair and grabs ARIA. She hoists her up and sends her CRASHING DOWN WITH AN EXPLODER SUPLEX ONTO IT! MINERVA ISN’T PLAYING ANY GAMES HERE!
James Peters: Considering what’s at stake here, Minerva knows she shouldn’t hold back. Minerva herself is no stranger to brutal matches, hell, even ARIA as well, and they know exactly what must be done in an environment of this caliber.
Persephone: If that means we get to see more electrified weapons in this match and these two bitches beating each other silly with them, then I’m all for it!
Rich Russillo: You are just so– you know what? Forget it. At any rate, Minerva is back to standing and she starts to lay down some stomps onto ARIA! She’s not holding a single thing back!
James Peters: She lays down one final stomp before she leaves the ring, and it looks like Minerva is going for another weapon here! What could it be?!
Persephone: A table! Ooooooh, and this one is also electrified. 😍 This just keeps getting better and better!
Rich Russillo: The defending champion is looking to go for something big with the table, and if she’s able to, that could be it for ARIA! :lupe:
James Peters: That’s exactly what she wants. Minerva slides the table in and re-enters, setting it up, of course being careful so that she doesn’t accidentally shock herself in the process. With that taken care of, Minerva turns her attention back over to ARIA who is trying to get back up! But it’s a struggle, and you can tell that the challenger is still hurting from those chair shots!
Persephone: Minerva doesn’t give a damn though, and she’s looking to do some extra damage here. She grabs ARIA and yanks her up, looking for a suplex… but ARIA is fighting back, not wanting to get lifted up!
Rich Russillo: ARIA sends a punch to Minerva’s abdomen! She fires off with another strike to it! Minerva is starting to look a bit weak here, and ARIA is able to pull away thanks to her grip loosening! ARIA grabs her, AND IT LOOKS LIKE SHE’S TRYING TO SEND MINERVA CRASHING THROUGH THE SUPLEX WITH A ONE-HANDED SLAM–
James Peters: BUT MINERVA FIGHTS HER OFF, SENDING A BARRAGE OF ELBOWS TO THE SIDE OF HER HEAD! ARIA LETS GO! SHE STAGGERS A BIT, AND MINERVA HITS THE ROPES, LOOKING FOR AN ATTACK–
Persephone: Nope! ARIA side-steps! Minerva turns around, and she walks right into her grasp! ARIA sends her up – AND SHE SLAMS HER THROUGH THE ELECTRIFIED TABLE WITH A SPINEBUSTER!
Rich Russillo: ALL OF THAT ELECTRICAL CHARGE JUST WENT RIGHT INTO THE CHAMPION’S BODY! AND THE FANS ARE ABSOLUTELY LOSING IT!
James Peters: What an unfortunate spot for Minerva to be in! However, ARIA was able to avoid disaster in her own right, and in a big way!
Persephone: At this point, this match is going to turn into a human barbecue.
Rich Russillo: Minerva doesn’t look good whatsoever, absolutely rocked with pain. Meanwhile, ARIA has her sights set on the title again!
James Peters: And the challenger is looking to move, beginning her ascent. She climbs up the ladder, inching closer and closer to that title!
Persephone: There’s some movement from the bottom though, and wouldn’t you know it? It’s Minerva. She’s crawling towards the ladder and how she’s even able to move is beyond me.
Rich Russillo: It really is a sight to see, but the champion isn’t willing to let that championship slip from he grasp! She heads towards the ladder and starts to climb, but clearly, she’s still in a lot of pain from going through that table! :lupe:
James Peters: Talk about gutsy! Talk about determination! Minerva isn’t going to be taken out of this match that easily! She catches up with ARIA who looks slightly surprised to see her, and the champ takes it to her with a chop to the chest!
Persephone: Dang, that sounded like a gun shot! Do it again!
Rich Russillo: Almost like she heard you, because she fires off with another chop to the chest! And ARIA looked hurt by that! Minerva is not the kind of Elitist who’s going to hold back with her shots, far from it!
James Peters: ARIA can certainly experience that for herself. She fires off a chop of her own, but Minerva manages to block it and responds with a headbutt! ARIA falls, but she manages to land on her feet, even if she’s staggering!
Persephone: So much for that attempt. Minerva heads on down and walks to her, striking her with forearm after forearm. I’m surprised she can stand, let alone take the fight to ARIA, but she’s doing it, and she’s backing her up into the ropes. Minerva continues her assault, driving ARIA back with each strike.
Rich Russillo: And she knees her right in the gut! ARIA hunches over! Minerva lifts her up and looks to set something up as she has her perched up on the rope. However, ARIA slip down to the apron and strikes her with a punch! She grabs Minerva by the head and slams her face into the top turnbuckle!
James Peters: And Minerva looks to be rocked from that. ARIA slingshots herself back into the ring – AND SHE SPIKES MINERVA DOWN ONTO HER HEAD WITH A DDT! WHAT A MOVE THERE!
Persephone: Hello, CTE, my old friend…
Rich Russillo: Devastating, but necessary. ARIA knows she needs to stay aggressive if she wants to win and become a world champion for the very first time in her career! ARIA walks back over to the ladder, vigilant as can be as she eyes the Universal Women’s Championship.
James Peters: ARIA came in with one goal in mind, and so far, as she stuck with trying to attain it. She hasn’t wasted a single second in this match. She makes the climb back up to the top!
Persephone: Well, can’t say she doesn’t lack any sense. She’s actually almost there. Guess we’re getting a new champion after all!
Rich Russillo: And the fans certainly believe it as everyone is cheering, anticipating for ARIA to reach up and retrieve the championship–
James Peters: … Wait a minute! It’s Minerva! She’s up and is making her way towards the ladder!
Persephone: ???
Rich Russillo: SHE IS! MINERVA IS CLEARLY HURT FROM THAT DDT, BUT WHERE THERE IS A WILL, THERE IS A WAY, AND MINERVA IS FIGHTING THROUGH THE PAIN TO WILL HERSELF TO CLIMB! HOW SHE’S DOING THIS IS INSANE!
James Peters: ARIA looks stunned as she sees that Minerva is heading up to her! Once again, the champion manages to catch up to the challenger! And Minerva catches her with a punch!
Persephone: Oooh, but ARIA strikes her as well, hitting her right in the face! And Minerva is looking a bit loopy! That DDT really did its number on her!
Rich Russillo: Yet she isn’t backing down! Another punch to the challenger!
James Peter: And another punch to the champion!
Persephone: Yep, they’re definitely gonna slug it out up there.
Rich Russillo: You called it, Persephone! It is absolute war on top of the ladder as ARIA and Minerva are going at it! Both of them aren’t holding a single thing back, absolutely brutalizing each other! And it’s complete pandemonium inside the Madrid Arena! The fans are loving what they are seeing!
James Peters: That they are! Minerva seems to be getting ahead though, going off with forearms now as she strikes ARIA repeatedly in the face! She grabs a hold of her and slams her face down onto the top of the ladder!
Persephone: Do it again! If she does it harder, she just might make her bleed!
Rich Russillo: Actually, it does seem like ARIA may be bleeding here! There’s a nick on her forehead and a trail of blood coming down from it!
Persephone: :blessed:
Rich Russillo: And now Minerva pummels her in the face one last time! She elbows her and grabs her! She just might push her off of the ladder!
James Peters: But ARIA is refusing to go down! She unleashes a chop, and that catches Minerva right in the chest! Then another one! Minerva’s grasp on her is beginning to loosen here as she’s unable to keep a hold of her!
Persephone: Doesn’t help that Minerva is clearly in a worse state than ARIA here. She may not be able to stay at the top herself for much longer!
Rich Russillo: ARIA hits a punch square in the face, and that staggers her! Minerva tries to attack, but ARIA blocks the shot and KICKS HER IN THE SIDE OF THE HEAD! OH GOD, SHE GOES DOWN! THE CHAMPION GOES DOWN!
(Minerva falls from the ladder and hits the mat back first, crying out. ARIA pants as she looks down. Then, she sees the EAW Universal Women’s Championship. With Minerva out of the equation, there was only one last thing left to do.)
James Peters: THIS IS IT! THE FANS ARE GOING ABSOLUTELY CRAZY! ARIA REACHES UP AND HOLDS ONTO THE TITLE! SHE’S GOING TO UNHOOK IT!
Rich Russillo: AND THERE WE GO! NEW CHAMPION! NEW CHAMPION!
(…)
(…)
(…)
Persephone: WAIT, NO! MINERVA WORKS HER WAY BACK UP TO HER FEET AND CHARGES FORWARD! SHE THROWS HERSELF STRAIGHT INTO THE LADDER! :damn: !!!
Rich Russillo: THE LADDER GIVES WAY, AND IT FALLS DOWN! ARIA IS HANGING ON TO THE CHAMPIONSHIP, DANGLING FROM ALL THE WAY UP THERE!
James Peters: AND SHE’S UNABLE TO HANG ON! SHE FALLS DOWN!
( ***CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!***)
Persephone: Oh my god.
Rich Russillo: Wait…
James Peters: She…!
Crowd: …
Persephone: *Doesn’t* have the championship!
(Relief covers Minerva’s face, even if she was hurting. She was able to successfully keep her own hopes and ambitions of winning this contest alive. All the while, she and ARIA lay beside one another, feeling all of the effects that this match has brought onto them and their body. ARIA was writhing in pain from the fall whereas Minerva’s head felt like it was spinning, still a bit dazed.)
Rich Russillo: Wow. Talk about a save! Minerva threw her entire body weight into that ladder and was able to have ARIA fall down! Still, the challenger came awfully close to unclipping the title and winning it!
James Peters: Both Elitists have given it their all in this opening contest, and that just goes to show how much the Universal Women’s Championship means to each of them!
(Minerva and ARIA are eventually able to roll onto their sides and raise their heads, looking at one another.)
James Peters: Oh boy, what do these two have in mind?
Persephone: They look hurt, but they look like they’re about to get a move on. Minerva and ARIA roll out of the ring and go to grab some of the electrified chairs.
Rich Russillo: That they do. They get back in the ring and crawl slowly towards on another, having to weapons in hand!
(Both women slowly get up to their feet, eyeing each other.)
(…)
(…)
James Peters: AND THEY SWING AT EACH OTHER!
(***CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!!!***)
Persephone: HOLY SHIT! ELECTRICAL SPARKS GO FLYING EVERYWHERE!
(***CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!!!***)
Rich Russillo: AND THE CHAIRS COLLIDE YET AGAIN! MORE SPARKS ARE DISCHARGED!
(***CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!!!***)
James Peters: THIS IS INSANE! MINERVA AND ARIA CONTINUE TO SWING, CHAIRS HITTING EACH OTHER! AND MORE SPARKS ARE GOING EVERYWHERE!
Persephone: BUT MINERVA KICKS ARIA IN THE GUT AND RAISES THE CHAIR, LOOKING TO HIT HER OVER THE HEAD WITH IT!
Rich Russillo: NO!!! ARIA USES HER CHAIR TO BLOCK IT!
James Peters: SHE’S ABLE TO STOP THAT SHOT, AND SHE GETS UP, KNEEING MINERVA IN THE GUT! MINERVA HUNCHES FORWARD, AND SHE DROPS THE CHAIR!
Persephone: ARIA RAISES HER CHAIR, GETTING READY TO STRIKE HER WITH IT!
(***CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!!!***)
Rich Russillo: NO! MINERVA MOVES OUT OF THE WAY IN TIME! SHE GETS BEHIND ARIA AND LIFTS HER UP, DROPPING HER WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX!
James Peters: And ARIA is in trouble here! Minerva picks her up and grabs her in a headlock! She drives her elbow into her chest! ‘TWILIGHT’ CONNECTS!
Persephone: She definitely isn’t messing around, can’t even lie. :lupe: ARIA may be done for.
Rich Russillo: And it looks like Minerva wants to do everything she can to ensure that is the case! She grabs hold of ARIA and leads her towards the corner, propping her up on the top turnbuckle. She leaves the ring and slides in one of the electrified tables! She sets that up in the ring before she leaves and goes to get more of those electrified chairs! One by one, she tosses them in! What could she be thinking of pulling off here??
James Peters: Nothing good for ARIA, that’s for certain! The champion smells blood and she’s going to do everything she can to finish the gutsy challenger off! All of those chairs are in the ring, and it looks like an absolute death trap!
Persephone: Oh please, don’t make it sound so scary. That’s awesome!
Rich Russillo: Either way, Minerva looks to put ARIA away here once and for all so that she can reclaim her championship! She heads over to the corner and starts to make the climb, meeting up with her! And Minerva unleashes a wicked forearm to the face, further stunning the challenger!
James Peters: And now, Minerva grabs her and goes to lift her up… BUT ARIA ISN’T BUDGING! SHE’S HANGING ON TO THE TOP ROPE, AND MINERVA ISN’T ABLE TO LIFT HER!
Persephone: Well, she may be hurt, but she still has some sense in her. Minerva doesn’t seem to like that, though, and she goes to jab her in the stomach. She attempts to lift her up again… but she’s still not moving! ARIA isn’t allowing her to get her up!
Rich Russillo: And the champion looks frustrated, but she goes to strike with a punch— NO! IT’S BLOCKED! ARIA THROWS A PUNCH OF HER OWN STRAIGHT AT MINERVA, AND IT ALMOST MAKES HER FALL BACK INTO THOSE CHAIRS!
James Peters: But the champion is able to hang on! She regains her balance and CLOCKS ARIA WITH A HEADBUTT! ARIA IS STAGGERED! THE CHAMPION QUICKLY LATCHES ON TO HER AND LIFTS HER ALL THE WAY UP…!!!
(***CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSHHHHHHH!!!***)
Persephone: HOLY SHIT! THEY BOTH GO FALLING INTO THE CHAIRS FROM THAT SUPERPLEX!!!
Rich Russillo: AND WHAT A COLLISION! WHAT A LANDING! BOTH ARIA AND MINERVA LAND ON THOSE ELECTRIFIED CHAIRS AND BOTH WOMEN ARE IN ABSOLUTE AGONY HERE! I DON’T THINK WE CAN EVEN TELL WHO GOT THE WORSE OUT OF THAT! ALL OF THAT ELECTRICITY IS COURSING THROUGH THEIR BODIES AND THEY’RE HURTING BADLY!
James Peters: YOU’RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT, RICH! GOD, WHAT AN INSANE THING TO WITNESS!
Persephone: That… was the most beautiful thing I have ever witnessed.
James Peters: ???
Crowd: THIS IS AWESOME! THIS IS AWESOME! THIS IS AWESOME!
Rich Russillo: … well, this is exactly what Shock Value is all about, right? And this match is certainly setting the tone for the rest of the evening. ARIA and Minerva have given it their all throughout this contest, and it’s all for the EAW Universal Women’s Championship. However, which one of these two will emerge victorious?!
Persephone: Kinda hard to tell at this rate when they’re both good as dead now.
James Peters: It’s been an all-out war, and Minerva and ARIA have done nothing less than take each other to the absolute limit. Both women are in pain, and the referee is checking on them. This has been an insane match all around.
Rich Russillo: … but look! Minerva is starting to stir! She’s ACTUALLY moving! And the entire arena has come unglued as she makes her way towards the ladder, dragging herself towards it!
James Peters: And not to be out done is ARIA! She’s starting to get a move on in her own right! She crawls to the ladder, blood trickling down her face, but she has her eyes set on that ladder and is looking to make the climb up!
(Both women are dragging themselves, pain rocking them. However, neither are willing to give up. Even if they couldn’t walk, they will themselves towards the ladder, and soon, they both start their ascent. The fans cheer wildly and loudly at what they are witnessing.)
Rich Russillo: AND HERE WE GO! ARIA! MINERVA! SOMEHOW, SOMEWAY, THEY’RE BOTH CLIMBING TO THE TOP OF THE LADDER! AND WITH EACH AND EVERY MOVEMENT, YOU CAN SEE HOW MUCH PAIN THEY’RE IN, YET THEY’RE DOING EVERYTHING THEY CAN TO BLOCK IT SO THAT THEY CAN REACH THE TOP!
James Peters: BOTH OF THEM ARE DETERMINED AS CAN BE TO WIN, AND THAT’S WHAT’S FUELING THEM TO CARRY ON, NO MATTER WHAT!
Persephone: Well, they manage to get to the top, even though they both look like complete hell at this rate. I’m totally not hoping that the ladder gives way and they both fall.
Rich Russillo: And at the top, they both try and reach the title hanging in the balance… until they both look at one another.
Minerva: …
ARIA: …
James Peters: HERE WE GO! PUNCHES ARE FLYING EVERYWHERE! ARIA AND MINERVA ARE EXERTING THE LAST BIT OF ENERGY THEY HAVE AND ARE JUST GOING TO WAR!
Rich Russillo: It’s a precarious spot to be in, as at this rate, whoever falls is bound to lose! And right underneath them is an electrified table!
Persephone: Minerva and ARIA are slugging it out, but it looks like ARIA is starting to get the better of her. She punches her repeatedly, doing everything she can to stun her!
Rich Russillo: And she looks to unleash one final punch to seal the deal—
James Peters: NO!! MINERVA BLOCKS IT!!
Persephone: HEADBUTT! HEADBUTT! HEADBUTT! SHE’S CRACKING ARIA RIGHT IN THE FACE!
Rich Russillo: THE CHALLENGER LOOKS TO BE WEAKENED BY EACH BLOW! ARIA CAN’T DEFEND HERSELF!
James Peters: AND MINERVA GIVES HER ONE LAST HEADBUTT BEFORE SHE REPEATEDLY SLAMS HER FACE ONTO THE TOP STEP! MY GOODNESS! ARIA’S BLOOD IS GETTING ALL OVER THE PLACE!
Persephone: MINERVA STOPS AND GRABS HER! SHE’S SETTING HER UP!
Rich Russillo: OH MY GOD! SHE’S DOING IT! SHE LIFTS ARIA UP INTO THE TWISTING BRAINBUSTER!
(***CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSHHHHHH!!!***)
James Peters: **’ATLAS FALLS’ THROUGH THE ELECTRIFIED TABLE!!!!**
Persephone: THE CRAZY BITCH DID IT! SHE ACTUALLY DID IT! ARIA MAY BE OUT!
Rich Russillo: AND LOOK AT ALL OF THAT RUBBLE! WHAT DESTRUCTION!
(ARIA lays completely motionless. Minerva is right on top of her.)
(…)
(…)
(… But after a moment, Minerva shows signs of life. Slowly, she moves away from the rubble, almost falling onto her back.)
James Peters: AND THERE SHE IS! THE CHAMPION IS MOVING! MINERVA LOOKS ALMOST OUT OF IT, BUT IT’S LIKE HER INSTINCTS ARE KICKING IN AND TELLING HER TO GET A MOVE ON! WHAT A SIGHT WE’RE SEEING!
Persephone: SHE’S HURT AND BATTERED AS CAN BE, BUT SHE’S MOVING! THIS IS INSANE!
Rich Russillo: BUT LEAVE IT TO MINERVA TO FIND A WAY TO DIG DEEP AND CARRY ON! SHE STARTS CRAWLING TOWARDS THE LADDER AND MAKES THE CLIMB!
James Peters: IT’S AN ARDUOUS TASK, BUT SHE’S ABLE TO DO IT! NOW, SHE’S AT THE TOP, AND SHE REACHED UP TOWARDS THE TITLE!
(…)
(…)
Persephone: SHE’S GOT IT! THE CHAMPIONSHIP IS IN HER HANDS!
Rich Russillo: MINERVA RETAINS!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘Blood, Milk and Sky’ hits. A completely exhausted Minerva sits at the top, having the championship in her lap. She takes deep breaths, doing all she can to recover from the brutal match.)
Bella Braxton: Here is your winner… aaaaaaand STILL the EAW Universal Women’s Champion…. MIIIIIIINEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRVVVVVVVAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
Rich Russillo: What a match! What a war! What a fight! Minerva retains here after an insane Electrified TLC match that has left all of us, well, electrified! I don’t think we have seen a match just as brutal as this one before!
James Peters: You’re absolutely right. Minerva and ARIA took the fight to one another all throughout this bout, but in the end, Minerva is able to come out on top. Still, what an effort by ARIA. Between this and her match last year against Dr. Bethany Blue, she has shown she can hang with the best of them!
Persephone: That was quite a violent match. Ten out of ten. Definitely content with that. 😌
Rich Russillo: An insane match, but Minerva remains your EAW Universal Women’s Champion!
(Minerva raises the title up with one arm, and the fans cheer. The camera lingers on her before the shot fades.)

https://i.ibb.co/hLYqc9K/Alex-Vs-Ruler.png
(‘Soundtrack 2 My Life’ by Kid Cudi begins to play through the speakers of the Madrid Arena, in Madrid, Spain. Alex Myers comes out with a more than focused look on their face. They turn towards the Electric Chair that will be used in this match on the side of the stage. Alex knows that they will need to do everything they can to put Ruler in there and turn on the switch. They grab their skateboard which consists of thumbtacks and glass shards on the backboards before making their way down the ramp.)
Bella Braxton: THE FOLLOWING MATCH IS AN ELECTRIC CHAIR MATCH!!!! THIS MATCH IS NO DISQUALIFICATION, NO COUNT OUT AND THE ONLY WAY TO WIN THIS MATCH WILL BE BY STRAPPING YOUR OPPONENT TO THE ELECTRIC CHAIR AND TURNING ON THE SWITCH, SENDING 5000 VOLTS OF ELECTRICITY THROUGH THEIR BODY!!! INTRODUCING FIRST…FROM AUCKLAND, NEW ZEALAND…WEIGHING AT THE WEIGHT OF 180 POUNDS… THEY ARE 1/2 OF NICHOLISM… ‘THE CORNERSTONE’…ALEX MYERS!!!!!
James Peters: At King of Elite, Alex Myers felt short in winning King of Elite. It led to Ruler informing Alex that he had seen all of this coming. Alex took it as Ruler knocking them down after experience another low moment in this company. Not only that, but Alex almost felt like they were being left in the dark with things revolving NICHOLISM, especially with Hayley Murrow being added into the group.
Rich Russillo: It seemed like in a way, Ruler wanted to protect Alex Myers from suffering another crushing defeat.
Persephone: Ruler was just being honest. I mean, why are we hating on the guy? It’s better than being fake in front of your face. I’m getting horror flashbacks to last season with me faking liking the content that Voltage puts out.
James Peters: Would you lie to Luis about seeing his failures coming?
Persephone: No, because he is robbed of those matches. He never loses.
Rich Russillo: :mjpls:
(Alex Myers sits on the corner as they await for Ruler to come out. A moment passes before ‘Prices’ by Lil Uzi Vert replaces Alex’s entrance music. Ruler comes out, almost with a sense of importance as he looks at Alex, who is sitting on the top turnbuckle, not phased by Ruler whatsoever.)
Bella Braxton: INTRODUCING THEIR OPPONENT…FROM THE RESERVED IN BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS…WEIGHING AT THE WEIGHT OF 220 POUNDS… HE IS THE OTHER HALF OF NICHOLISM… ‘THE ARCHANGEL OF IDEALISM’…RULER!!!!!!
James Peters: Now, Ruler has made it clear that he should have won the semi-finals match and moved on to King of Elite, so that Alex Myers would not blow another opportunity at a big match. That the moment Alex won the match, Ruler just knew that Alex would not be successful in bringing the crown to Voltage and most importantly, NICHOLISM.
Rich Russillo: Is it Ruler just being considerate of Alex or selfish in wanting to win the semi-finals and move on to King of Elite?
Persephone: I feel like both because no one wanted to see Alex Myers in the King of Elite finals and if Ruler were to have been in it, we wouldn’t be in this mess.
James Peters: Ruler was honest with his feelings. Although, Alex has every right to feel the way that they feel. Perhaps, this is the match that is needed to put NICHOLISM back on track. Maybe, Ruler can have Alex see things his way. But, this match is probably what they need to get back on track.
(DING! DING! DING!)
(A ‘LET’S GO, ALEX,’ AND ‘LET’S GO, RULER’ chant is heard going back-and-forth. The crowd is completely torn in half on who they are rooting for. The two Elitists have history with each other. They’ve been through this same song and dance multiple times in other places, but only a few times in Elite Answers Wrestling. Nothing is said between the two Elitists, but it seems like they both have the same thing on their mind. Both Elitists slide out of the ring in opposite directions as they get their hands on a series of electric chairs, proceeding to throw them inside the ring.)
James Peters: Now, this is an insane way to start this match! Alex Myers and Ruler are grabbing every single electric chair that they can get their hands on as they throw it inside the ring!
Rich Russillo: How many electric chairs can one person need? It’s beginning to pile inside the ring!
Persephone: This is absolutely insane! Can we just get this match underway? Unless one of them wants to kill the other and make this a no contest, then we have no reason for this match to go on for more than five minutes…seven minutes tops! And, that’s just me being nice.
James Peters: Alex Myers slams a chair shut before sliding back inside the ring. It seems like Ruler has the same idea going as he slides a chair in before sliding back into the ring himself! Both Elitists find themselves standing on top of the pile of chairs that they made! Both of them raise the chairs up simultaneously as —
Rich Russillo: THE CLANKING OF THE ELECTRIC CHAIRS ZAPS THEM, SENDING SHOCKWAVES INTO THEIR BODIES. BUT, IT DOESN’T STOP THEM FROM HAVING THEIR CHAIRS COLLIDE FOR A SECOND TIME! AND THEN, A THIRD TIME! AND THEN, A FOURTH TIME! BOTH ELITISTS SEEM TO HAVE THE SAME IDEA WHEN IT COMES TO USING THE CHAIR WITH EACH OTHER! BUT, IT’S RULER, WHO DRIVES THE RIM OF THE STEEL CHAIR INTO THE GUT OF ALEX! THEN, FOLLOWING THAT UP BY SLAMMING THE STEEL CHAIR TO THE SPINE OF ‘THE CORNERSTONE’ ALEX COLLAPSES TO THEIR KNEES AS THEY REACT TO THE STEEL CHAIR SHOT! RULER FOLLOWS THAT UP WITH ANOTHER STEEL CHAIR SHOT TO THE SPINE OF ALEX!
Persephone: Alex Myers is on their knees as they looks to move away from Ruler! But, Ruler is slowly going after Alex! Ruler grabs Alex by the nape of their neck before throwing them back to the pile of steel chairs behind them! Alex tries to roll themself back to their knees as Ruler goes right after Alex and connects with a knee strike that takes Alex back! Ruler gets on top of Alex as he begins to throw some left and right punches to the skull of Alex! Oh god, I think that he just busted open Alex! 🥴
(The camera reveals Alex Myers beginning to shed some blood on their forehead, which trickles down a bit due to the sweat from being in the burning spotlight.)
James Peters: I can confirm your suspicions, Persephone! Ruler busted Alex Myers open as Alex just connected with a headbutt, sending ‘The Archangel of Idealism’ back! I don’t think that Ruler expected that headbutt! It was enough to knock him back a bit as Alex rose back to their feet! They run towards Ruler with a sling blade as that takes down Ruler! Alex rises to their feet as they stalk Ruler up! Alex follows that up with knee strike as that sends Ruler back to the horizontal set of ropes! Alex charges towards Ruler and follows that up with a double knee face breaker!
Rich Russillo: NO! RULER MANAGES TO CATCH ALEX MYERS BY SURPRISE! RULER HAS ALEX IN THE DOUBLE KNEE FACE BREAKER POSITION! WE SEE THAT RULER HOISTS ALEX UP IN A POWERBOMB POSITION! BUT, ALEX BEGINS TO PUNCH RULER ON THE TOP OF HIS SKULL! ALEX IS ATTEMPTING TO GET THEMSELF OUT OF THIS SITUATION! ALEX BEGINS TO FALL BACK! ALEX HAD PUNCHED TOO HARD TO THE POINT THAT THEY LOST BALANCE ON THE POWERBOMB POSITION! RULER HAS ALEX DANGLING UPSIDE DOWN! ALEX MIGHT BE IN A BIT OF TROUBLE RIGHT HERE!
Persephone: No! Unfortunately, we see Ruler getting Alex Myers back up in a powerbomb position! Ruler slams down Alex with a sit-out powerbomb! Now, to remind people that are unfortunately watching this match, the only way to win this match is by strapping your opponent in that Electric Chair up on the side of the stage and pulling the lever like all the serial killers went through back in the day.
James Peters: It seems like that method of execution decreased by the late 1970s, I hear. Although, the last one was in 2020 when Nicholas Todd Sutton was executed via electric chair for murdering two acquaintances and his own grandmother. He also participated in a prison killing over drugs in the 1980s. Went from life imprisonment to execution just like that.
Persephone: This man would be World Champion here. :mjlol:
James Peters: Kind of hard when he’s dead and all. :lupe:
Rich Russillo. This match took a dark turn. Give me a second to refocus. Okay! After a moment, Ruler rips Alex by whatever strand of hair that is on top of Alex’s head! Ruler pulls Alex closer in a front headlock! He drapes one of Alex’s arms around the back of his neck! He takes Alex back with a suplex to the pile of chairs behind them! You can see the look on Alex’s face! I don’t think that they look quite happy! They look to be in some immense pain at the moment!
Persephone: Now, some of these chairs have some battery underneath the seating portion, where they electrocute the chair just a bit. But, if you want a real shock, you would need to get your opponent to that chair on the side of the stage. That’s where the REAL action is, ladies and germs! I see that Alex is finding themself back to their feet! But, Ruler is able to rise back to his feet first as he pulls Alex closer to him in that front headlock! He raises up ‘The Cornerstone’ and connects with the front suplex onto the chairs! Ouch!
James Peters: Alex Myers contorts their stomach in response! Ruler finds their way back to their feet as they grab a hold of Alex! Ruler gets Alex in a front headlock — NO! ALEX MANAGES TO SHOVE RULER AWAY FROM THEM! RULER GOES RIGHT BACK AFTER THEM, BUT ALEX CUTS IT SHORT BY CONNECTING WITH A SUPER KICK THAT SENDS RULER TO THE ROPES! ALEX CHARGES TOWARDS RULER AND CONNECTS WITH A KNEE STRIKE TO THE CHIN! THEN, THEY FOLLOW IT UP BY CONNECTING WITH A BULLDOG TO THE PILE OF CHAIRS!
Rich Russillo: Still, we see Ruler rising back to his feet as Alex Myers charges towards Ruler with a meteora as the back of his head collides with the pile of chairs! Alex begins to connect with a series of punches to Ruler’s face! Ruler rolls himself on top of Alex trading punches of his own showing zero remorse for his NICHOLISM brethren! But, Alex manages to respond with punches of their own! BUT, RULER MANAGES TO ROLL HIMSELF ON TOP ONCE MORE! BUT, HE HAS ONE OF THOSE CHAIRS AT HIS DISPOSAL! HE DRIVES THE RIM OF THE STEEL CHAIR ONTO THE ADAM’S APPLE OF ALEX! :damn:
Persephone: Ruler is holding it there as he looks down at Alex Myers, who is gasping for air! They are exchanging looks at each other! Ruler has his boot on the chest of Alex before releasing that chair from the Adam’s apple! Ruler raises up the chair before driving the rim of the steel chair to the Adam’s apple! If I was a man, I’d think I might die if that happened to me! 🥴
James Peters: Now, we see Ruler putting Alex Myers’ head through the steel chair as he gets Alex back to their feet! Ruler is looking towards the turnbuckle at the corner! Ruler whips Alex to the corner with the steel chair wrapped around their neck! NO! ALEX MANAGES TO STOP THEMSELF AT THE LAST SECOND! RULER GOES RIGHT AFTER HIM, BUT ALEX CONNECTS WITH A BACK ELBOW THAT CAUSES ‘THE ARCHANGEL OF IDEALISM’ TO STUMBLE BACK! Alex turns themself around as Ruler goes right after Alex! But, Alex holds onto the rope at the left and right side of them as they get their feet up and push Ruler away from them!
Rich Russillo: Alex Myers gets themself on the top turnbuckle as they manage to get that steel chair off their neck! Alex is anticipating for Ruler to look towards them as they fly off the top rope with the steel chair acting as a chest plate and connect with a leaping crossbody from the top rope! Ruler’s face collided with the steel chair to his face! Alex finds themself back to their feet as they wait for Ruler to get to his feet! Alex takes that steel chair, taking the rims and jamming it against the abdomen! Alex pulls Ruler closer to them, double under hooking them by his arms and connecting with a butterfly suplex!
Persephone: Alex Myers transitions that to an arm bar! This match can only be won by getting your opponent in that electric chair and turning on the switch! Submissions don’t do shit and I can’t understand what is wrong with their dumbass? :mjlol:
James Peters: I mean, if one of Ruler’s arms are taken out of the equation, he might not be able to hold onto the switch and pull down the lever? Now, this kind of confuses me too. But, Alex Myers looks like they might be trying to limit Ruler’s abilities to pull down the switch by taking out one of his arms? At least, that’s what it seems like to me!
Rich Russillo: It also keeps Ruler’s down for the time being! Alex Myers could be planning their next move! Alex pulls back the arm of Ruler, who is clutching his other hand into a fist, trying to fight through the pain and continue on with this match! BUT, WE SEE THAT RULER IS REACHING OVER TO HIS SIDE! THEY ARE BEGINNING TO PUNCH ALEX OR TRYING TO LAND THE PUNCHES ON ALEX! RULER IS TRYING TO REACH TO HIS SIDE AND THROW PUNCHES TO ALEX’S FACE! RULER’S LONG LIMBS ARE ACTUALLY GETTING THESE PUNCHES IN! HE IS THROWING THESE PUNCHES IN! ALEX’S GRASP ON THEIR FELLOW RIVAL IS SLIPPING AWAY!
Persephone: No! Look! Ruler is trying to find himself back on his feet! He is lifting Alex Myers up, who is trying their best to keep the armbar synched in! Alex is shaking their head ‘no.’ Ruler is using all of the strength in the world to get himself back to his feet! Ruler is shaky on his feet, BUT HE MANAGES TO LIFT ALEX IN A POWERBOMB POSITION! NO! A ONE-ARMED POWERBOMB! HE LIFTS ALEX UP BEFORE SLAMMING THEM DOWN AGAINST THE PILE OF CHAIRS! BUT, ALEX IS NOT LETTING GO WHATSOEVER! RULER GOES TO LIFT ALEX UP IN A POWERBOMB POSITION AGAIN BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A ONE-ARM SIT OUT POWERBOMB ON THE PILE OF CHAIRS! ALEX’S BACK COLLIDES ON THOSE CHAIRS!
James Peters: Ruler finds himself back to his feet as he waits for Alex Myers to rise up to their feet! Alex turns themself around as — Ruler charges right after Alex and connects with an axe handle that takes Alex down! BUT, ALEX FINDS THEMSELF BACK TO THEIR FEET! ALEX RISES BACK TO THEIR FEET, BUT RULER CONNECTS WITH ANOTHER AXE HANDLE! AND ANOTHER ONE! AND ANOTHER ONE! EACH TIME, WE SEE THAT ALEX GETS THEMSELF BACK TO THEIR FEET! RULER CONNECTS WITH A LIFTING KNEE STRIKE AS THAT TAKES ALEX BACK! ALEX GOES RIGHT BACK TO RULER, BUT RULER CONNECTS WITH A STIFF PUNCH AS DROPS ALEX DOWN TO A KNEE!
Rich Russillo: Alex Myers looks down for a moment as we see Ruler’s lips moving, saying something, but our audio is not able to pick up! But, it’s enough to raise Alex back to their feet and they connect with a punch back to Ruler! This sends Ruler back! But, Ruler charges forward and connects with another punch to Alex! Alex with another punch to Ruler! Ruler with a punch to Alex! Alex with a punch! Alex! Ruler! Alex Ruler! These two Elitists are throwing EVERYTHING at each other!
Persephone: Ruler grabs Alex Myers by the throat and lifts them up for a chokeslam! Alex drops themself back to the ground! Alex kicks Ruler in the gut before getting Ruler in a double under hooking his arms and connecting with the pedigree which they call ‘Space Bound!’ NO! RULER SPINS HIMSELF OUT OF THE MOVE! HE STILL HAS THE POSITION OF ALEX MYERS’ ARMS AND CONNECTS WITH A KNEE STRIKE THAT SENDS ‘THE CORNERSTONE’ TO A KNEE! Ruler spins Alex around, getting his arms around the waist of Alex before taking them back with a German suplex! Alex manages to roll to their knees, but falls to their back! Not being able to stay in that position!
James Peters: Alex Myers is trying to pick themself up to their feet, but Ruler charges towards Alex like a freight train and connects with a giant boot! Alex flies back to one of the corners! Ruler begins to stomp on the body of his teammate and rival! Ruler straightens Alex back to their feet before connecting with an uppercut that sends Alex to a seated position at the corner! RULER SHUSHES THE CROWD BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A HUGE CHOP TO THE CHEST OF ALEX! I THINK THAT EVEN THE NOSEBLEED SEATS WERE ABLE TO HEAR THAT! RULER STRAIGHTENS ALEX UP ONCE MORE AND CONNECTS WITH A SECOND CHOP TO ALEX’S CHEST! GOD, YOU CAN SEE ALEX’S CHEST GOING PINK!
Rich Russillo: It seems like Ruler is looking to straighten up Alex Myers for a third time before — NO! ALEX STRAIGHTENED THEMSELF UP BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A PUNCH TO RULER! ALEX IS PUNCHING THEMSELF OUT OF THE CORNER! ALEX IS FIGHTING THEIR WAY OUT OF THE CORNER AS RULER IS NOW ON THE ONE THAT’S BACKING AWAY! BUT, ALEX TAKES DOWN RULER WITH A CLOTHESLINE! RULER GOES DOWN, BUT ALEX GETS THEIR HANDS ON ONE OF THE SERIES OF STEEL CHAIRS THAT ARE COMPLETELY SCATTERED AROUND THE RING! ALEX OPENS THE STEEL CHAIR AS THEY STICK RULER’S ARM THROUGH THE STEEL CHAIR! THE CHAIR IS WIDE OPEN AS ALEX GETS THE CHAIR AND SLAMS IT SHUT WITH RULER’S ARM INSIDE OF IT! :damn: :damn: :damn:
Persephone: If this match can end with someone’s arms being ripped out of their socket. I will give this event a 5/10.
James Peters: Why not a 10/10?
Persephone: It will be a 10/10 if I see Luis. If not, this entire event is a flop. Give the people what we want!
James Peters: Who the fuck is ‘we?’ ANYWAY, RULER IS HOLDING HIS RIGHT ARM IN PAIN! BUT, IT DOESN’T STOP ALEX MYERS FROM OPENING THE STEEL CHAIR WITH RULER’S ARM STILL THROUGH IT BEFORE ALEX SLAMS THE ARM CLOSED! Once again, we hear Ruler beginning to yell out in pain! Ruler pulls his arm out of that chair and begins to cradle it! Alex begins to look down at his fellow partner and rival! They’ve been in this situation before and they are not afraid to go there once more with each other!
Rich Russillo: What will happen after this match is all said and done? Will they manage to go back to being NICHOLISM? Or will this entire match have torn Ruler and Alex apart? Ruler finds himself in a seated position as Alex Myers looks at their partner! Alex grabs Ruler’s right arm that they had targeted with the steel chair just moments ago and slams it back against the pile of chairs behind Ruler! Alex gets a hold of Ruler as they throw him through the middle rope, so that he’s outside of the ring! Alex gets another one of those steel chairs from the pile that was made in the first moments of this match up! I have no idea what they have underneath their sleeve! :lupe:
Persephone: ALEX MYERS LAUNCHES THEMSELF THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE, OUT OF THE RING, WITH THE STEEL CHAIR’S RIM COLLIDING WITH THE FACE OF RULER! THIS KNOCKS RULER BACK INTO OUR TABLE! ALEX PLACES THE CHAIR UNDERNEATH THE NECK OF RULER AS ALEX CHARGES IN FRONT OF RULER WITH A RUNNING CANNONBALL SENTON THAT KNOCKS RULER BACK! RULER FINDS HIMSELF CRUSHED BETWEEN THE CHAIR AND THE FRONT OF OUR TABLE! I HOPE THAT HE DIDN’T KNOCK OFF MY DRINK OR I’M GOING TO BE AN IRRITABLE BITCH FOR THE REST OF THE SHOW!
James Peters: I think that your drink is fine, Seph. But, Ruler isn’t at the moment! Alex Myers removes the chair from in front of Ruler before getting him up to his feet! They throw Ruler back against the edge of the apron as Alex gets a hold of that steel chair that they previously used on Ruler! Alex goes to swing the steel chair to Ruler, BUT RULER ENDS UP SIDE STEPPING AT THE LAST SECOND! HE GRABS THAT STEEL CHAIR FROM ALEX BEFORE SLAMMING ALEX IN THE FACE WITH THE CHAIR! THAT KNOCKED ALEX OFF GUARD! RULER BEGINS TO SMASH THE STEEL CHAIR TO THE SKULL OF ‘THE CORNERSTONE!’
Rich Russillo: Then, Ruler opens the steel chair and sticks Alex Myers’ head through it! Ruler turns his sights to the steel ring post before throwing Alex towards it! That, plus the combination of the steel chair, sends them back! But, Ruler manages to catch them and connect with a back suplex! The steel chair still wrapped around their neck! Oh god, that looked brutal there! Now, we see Ruler place the chair on the ground! BUT, WE STILL SEE THAT ALEX’S HEAD IS POKING THROUGH THE STEEL CHAIR! I AM CURIOUS TO SEE WHAT RULER HAS IN STORE NEXT! IT’S BEEN BRUTAL THESE LAST FEW MOMENTS! RULER FINDS HIMSELF ON THE APRON! HE FLIES OFF —
Persephone: RULER JUST CONNECTED WITH KNEE DROP ONTO THE BACK OF ALEX MYERS’ NECK! ALEX COMPLETELY JUST DROPS DOWN! THE CHAIR TUMBLES OVER, WHICH CAUSES ALEX TO DROP DOWN DUE TO THE IMPACT OF THAT KNEE DROP! Ruler removes the steel chair from the neck of Alex as Ruler takes Alex around and to the side with the bottom of the ramp! Ruler gets Alex, hoisting them up and delivering a uranage onto the edge of the apron! Alex collapses to the floor! Their spine contorting in a weird position as they clutch onto their shoulder! Ruler goes to lift Alex back up, but Alex collapses down!
James Peters: I’m not sure if that was intentional, Persephone. Ruler goes to retrieve Alex Myers once more, BUT — ALEX SLAMS THAT SKATEBOARD THAT THEY RODE TO THE RING WITH! THE SAME SKATEBOARD THAT CONSISTS OF THUMBTACKS AND GLASS SHARDS GLUED TO THE BACKBOARD AND SMASHES IT TO THE FACE OF RULER, KNOCKING HIM BACK! ALEX FINDS THEIR WAY BACK TO THEIR FEET AS THEY HAVE THEIR HANDS ON THAT SKATEBOARD STILL! THEY SMASH IT AGAINST THE FOREHEAD OF RULER! OVER AND OVER AGAIN, ALEX REFUSES TO HOLD BACK! THEY HAPPEN TO BUST RULER OPEN IN THE FOREHEAD! RULER BEGINS TO CREATE A CRIMSON MASK ON HIS FACE!
Rich Russillo: Alex Myers begins to throw some punches to the face, causing the wound to create more blood! Both Elitists are completely blooded up as Alex delivers one punch that completely knocks down Ruler! Alex grabs that same skateboard that they used to crack open Ruler’s skull and goes back a couple of feet! Alex skates towards Ruler and lands a backside kickflip as they land on Ruler’s chest.
Persephone: A what? :mjlol:
James Peters: It’s difficult to explain it because it involves knowing skateboard terminology. But, can we get a reply to this?
(REPLAY: A slow motion of Alex Myers connecting with a backside kickflip is highlighted. It begins to pick up to normal place as soon as the skateboard lands on Ruler.)
(The scene pans back to ringside where Alex Myers gets a hold of Ruler and gets him up. There, we can see some of the scratches and pieces of glass that are stuck within the abdomen of Ruler. It seems like Alex has their attention on the electric chair in front of the stage. They might be looking to end things here.)
Rich Russillo: Alex Myers has Ruler up to a vertical base — BUT RULER CATCHES ALEX BY SURPRISE AND CONNECTS WITH UPPERCUT! This staggers Alex back a bit, but Ruler manages to get a good hold of them before hooking them underneath the arms and connecting with a ‘Will of Nicholas’ on the bottom of the ramp! Ruler saw an opening there and now, he gets his hands on the skateboard that Alex had previously used! Ruler is going to use Alex’s signature weapon to cause them more damage!
Persephone: Ruler looks down at his fallen partner and rival! A real complicated relationship there, but he places the backboard of the skateboard to the face of Alex Myers! Then, he begins to stomp on the skateboard as well as the face of Alex! OVER AND OVER AGAIN, RULER IS GIVING A TASTE OF THEIR OWN MEDICINE! I THINK THAT RULER MIGHT BE LOOKING TO CONCUSS ALEX AND I THINK THAT THIS IS PROBABLY THE BEST APPROACH TO GO WITH! JUST GIVE THEM CTE AND TAKE THEM TO THE ELECTRIC CHAIR!
James Peters: One last stomp on the skateboard and Alex Myers’ face as Ruler removes all of that and I think that Alex might be out of it, guys! You can see that Alex is groggy and can’t keep themself on their feet! Ruler hoists Alex onto his shoulder as both of them make their way up the ramp! There is no arguing with Alex! They aren’t even fighting back as both Elitists find themselves on top of the stage! Ruler is looking towards that chair as he dumps Alex’s body on the chair! Ruler begins to strap Alex’s wrists with the wrist belts on each side of the chair!
Rich Russillo: BUT, ALEX MYERS SPRINGS BACK TO LIFE TO DELIVER A KICK TO THE GUT OF RULER! THIS KNOCKS RULER BACK! BUT, HE RETURNS BACK AND DELIVERS A FEW PUNCHES TO THE SKULL OF ALEX! ALEX DELIVERS ANOTHER KICK TO THE GUT OF RULER! ALEX IS STRUGGLING TO GET THEMSELF OUT OF THIS SITUATION! They gotta think of some way to get themselves out of this vulnerable position! Alex manages to unstrap themself from the restraints on their wrist! Ruler goes right after Alex, but Alex, out of completely nowhere connects with ‘Real Existence’ — the rolling thunder cutter! They jumped off the electric chair, rolled themself forward and connected with that cutter as Ruler drops down!
Persephone: Well, what are they waiting for? End this damn thing!
James Peters: It seems like Alex Myers might be on their way of doing that, Seph! Alex hoists Ruler up to a vertical base as they set up Ruler on the chair! Then, Alex begins to buckle the wrists of ‘The Archangel of Idealism!’ This whole process seems like it’s taking forever as Alex manages to tie Ruler’s wrists up to the arms of the chair! Ruler is completely out of it as there is NOTHING that is stopping Alex from proving themself to Ruler, a man who has gotten the best of them since his arrival in the company! These two have been in hellacious wars all around the world! They’ve bled together! They’ve made each other bleed! Traded victories with each other, but it seems like it will be Alex’s moment to get one over on Ruler!
(Alex Myers stands next to the chair as they retrieve the switch that was placed next to the chair. It’s nothing more than a giant hand held light switch, almost resembling the ones that you would find in any execution room in prison. The switch and chair are connected by a long cord from the side of the stage, which will be providing them with the shocking bolts of electricity to end this match.)
Rich Russillo: This is probably the moment that Alex Myers has waited for a long time as they pull down the lever of the switch!
Persephone: Wait, what’s going on?
James Peters: There is a slight hesitation on the face of Alex Myers!
Persephone: ARE YOU FUCK—
Rich Russillo: Alex Myers can’t do it! They can’t pull down that lever and end this match! There is uncertainty of what would happen if they pull down that level. What will happen to the dynamic of Alex and Ruler? What could this mean for NICHOLISM? Could this mean the end of NICHOLISM as we know it?
Persephone: Does it look like I care? I just want all of this to be over! We see Alex Myers having their hands on the level as they can’t seem to get things done! Alex looks at Ruler, who is unconscious at this point! I don’t know why Alex didn’t decide to end things there! Maybe, they really don’t want to win here! Alex is literally in front of Ruler and is doing nothing at all!
James Peters: BUT, RULER MISTS ALEX MYERS IN THE FACE WITH THE BLACK MIST! :damn: :damn: :damn: IT WAS ALL A RUSE BY RULER, WHO MANAGED TO PLAY POSSUM AND MIST ALEX MYERS OUT OF NOWHERE! RULER MANAGES TO GET HIMSELF OUT OF THE RESTRAINTS! THEN, HE LAUNCHES HIMSELF TOWARDS ALEX, CONNECTING WITH A SERIES OF RAPID PUNCHES! ALEX GETS KNOCKED DOWN TO THE GROUND AS RULER IS BEATING THE LIVING HELL OUT OF ALEX!
Rich Russillo: Alex Myers is trying to cover their face, but Ruler is relentless! He is nailing each shot in Alex’s face! Alex is trying to get themself out of this situation as Ruler lifts them up for the ‘Bloodrayne Maker’ — the swinging reverse STO! BUT, ALEX MANAGES TO GET THEMSELF OUT OF THE SITUATION! ALEX IS STILL BLINDED BY THE MIST, SO RULER MANAGES TO TAKE BACK CONTROL OF THIS MATCH AND CONNECT WITH A FOREARM SMASH TO THE FACE AS THAT SENDS ALEX TO THE GROUND! BUT, RULER GETS ALEX BACK UP! I CAN SEE THAT HE IS ATTEMPTING TO CONNECT WITH THE ‘BLOODRAYNE MAKER’ FOR THE SECOND TIME IN THIS MATCH! IS THIS GOING TO CONNECT?
Persephone: NO! GOD NO! ALEX MYERS MANAGES TO GET THEMSELF OUT OF THE WAY ONCE MORE! ALEX DELIVERS A KICK TO RULER’S GUT — BUT, RULER MANAGES TO HOLD ONTO ALEX’S FOOT! THE KICK DOES NOT CONNECT AS ALEX REALIZES THAT THEY MIGHT HAVE MESSED UP HERE! RULER CONNECTS WITH A LOW BLOW TO ALEX! :damn: :damn: :damn:
James Peters: BUT, ALEX MYERS IS DOING THEIR BEST NOT TO COLLAPSE TO THE FLOOR! THEY ARE GIVING A DEATH GLARE AT RULER! RULER CAN’T SEEM TO BELIEVE WHAT IS GOING ON AT THE MOMENT! RULER GOES FOR ANOTHER LOW BLOW ON ALEX, BUT SOMEHOW, ALEX IS FIGHTING THROUGH THE PAIN! THEY REFUSE TO COLLAPSE TO THE GROUND! ALEX IS MORE THAN FIRED UP! DESPITE THE PAIN ALEX IS CLEARLY IN, THEY’RE NOT LETTING RULER GET THE BETTER OF THEM, NOT LIKE THIS!
Rich Russillo: I mean, that’s one way to put it! Honestly, I’m not sure how anyone would be able to remain standing in Alex’s shoes right now. :lupe:
Persephone: THE FACT THAT THEY ARE NOT COLLAPSING DOWN IS JUST OUT OF THE ORDINARY FOR ME! UNLESS, THERE IS NOTHING DOWN THERE, I CAN’T IMAGINE WHY ALEX IS A MILD TO MODERATE RESPONSE! RULER GOES TO CONNECT WITH ANOTHER LOW BLOW! MAYBE, THIRD TIME’S THE CHARM AS — ALEX MYERS MANAGES TO INTERCEPT THAT! THEY HOLD ONTO RULER’S LEG BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A DRAGON SCREW LEG WHIP AS THAT CAUSES RULER TO GET FLUNG TO THE SIDE! RULER STILL MANAGES TO FIND HIMSELF TO A CRAWLING POSITION AS ALEX FINDS THEMSELF ON THE ARM OF THE ELECTRIC CHAIR! THEY JUMP OFF OF IT — ‘DOCTOR SLEEP’ — THE DIVING KNEES TO RULER’S SKULL!
James Peters: Ruler’s skill is bashed against the top of the concrete on the side of the stage! Alex Myers finds themself back to their feet as they realize that if there is a time to put away Ruler, it HAS to be now! BUT, ALEX IS STALKING RULER BACK UP! I THINK THAT RULER IS ABSOLUTELY OUT OF IT AT THIS POINT! IT TAKES A FEW MOMENTS FOR RULER TO START SCRAMBLING UP TO HIS FEET! ALEX CHARGES TOWARDS RULER — ‘WE DON’T HAVE MANY DAYS’ — THE DOUBLE BACK HANDSPRING INTO A DOUBLE FOOT STOMP TAKES DOWN RULER!
(Alex Myers places an unconscious Ruler onto the electric chair once more. Alex has no more hesitation on their face as they strap up Ruler’s wrists, making sure that he can’t move. Then, making sure that the strap on top of his head is tightened up. Alex gets their hands on the switch again as they look to pull down the lever.)
Rich Russillo: But, Alex Myers is NOT done here!
Persephone: …You gotta be kidding me.
James Peters: Alex Myers begins to set their sights to the box truss on the side of the stage. That’s like thirty feet ladies and gentlemen! You don’t think that Alex is —
Rich Russillo: Alex Myers begins to ascend up the box truss Are you absolutely kidding me? Alex wants to make sure that Ruler stays down and stays down enough for them to win this match!
(After a couple of moments, Alex Myers is thirty feet high as they grasp onto the metal box truss as they look down on Ruler who is still strapped to the electric chair. Alex delivers a battle cry before — )
Persephone: ‘ANGELIC BLESSING’ — THE SWANTON BOMB FROM THIRTY FEET IN THE AIR AS THEY LAND RIGHT ON TOP OF RULER! BOTH OF THESE ELITISTS ARE DOWN! RULER STILL REMAINS IN PLACE AS ALEX MYERS NIGHT ACTUALLY BE DEAD HERE! THERE IS NO GETTING BACK UP FROM ALL OF THIS! NEITHER ELITISTS ARE ABLE TO MOVE, BUT —
James Peters: USING ALL THE STRENGTH THAT ALEX MYERS HAS LEFT, THEY ARE TRYING TO REACH FOR THE SWITCH! IT’S ALMOST TAKING ALL OF THE STRENGTH OF ALEX TO REACH FOR THAT SWITCH BEFORE THEY CAN GET THEIR HANDS ON IT! ALEX LOOKS AT RULER WHO WAS ON THE RECEIVING END OF THE THIRTY FOOT ‘ANGELIC BLESSING’ AS ALEX PULLS DOWN THE LEVER! 5000 VOLTS BEGIN TO TASER AND ELECTROCUTE RULER ON THE SPOT! THIS MATCH IS OVER!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘Soundtrack 2 My Life’ plays once more as Alex Myers collapses on Ruler. The energy almost sucked out of them. Ruler is clearly unconscious, showing convulsing a bit as a series of medical personal and backstage hands race to the aids of both of these Elitists. That’s when the two of them are separated, so that they can be evaluated.)
Bella Braxton: THE WINNER OF THIS MATCH…ALEX MYERS!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: I cannot imagine how good that must feel for Alex Myers to get this victory tonight. Alex entered this match with nothing more than wanting to prove Ruler wrong. Alex felt that Ruler didn’t believe in them, especially when it came to winning King of Elite. But, I wonder if they made a believer out of Ruler tonight.
James Peters: Both Elitists put everything on the line. Ruler wanted nothing more than to win this match for the betterment of NICHOLISM, but does that mean that NICHOLISM is not good with Alex as the winner?
(‘Soundtrack 2 My Life’ dies down as Alex Myers and Ruler find themselves across from each other, looking at each other. It can’t be read on their faces what they are feeling at the moment. Alex extends a hand for Ruler to shake, but Ruler shakes his head and slaps Alex’s hand away from him. In that moment, it almost felt like Alex’s heart just died.)
(Instead, to pull Alex Myers into a hug. Almost in a “you did it” kind of way. While it sucked immensely for Ruler to fall short in defeating Alex, there is almost a sense of pride that Alex managed to get the job done tonight. Words are said between the two Elitists only meant for the two of them to know the context of. The crowd applauds the performances of these two Elitists as Alex helps Ruler up to his feet. The two of them look to the sea of EAW fans applauding them, wanting the two of them to succeed — whether as a team or as individuals. ‘Zombie’ by The Cranberries begins to play as NICHOLISM stands tall throughout all the naysayers who thought that they would implode in this match.)
Rich Russillo: I think there’s the answer to anyone who thought that this would be the end of NICHOLISM. Instead, these two Elitists stand tall throughout all the hell that they caused each other.
Persephone: Oh, the fucking cringe.
James Peters: These two have been in this position before. This time, they were nothing more than partners as they arrived in this match. There was so much weight about what the outcome of this match would hold. Both Elitists put on brilliant performances, knowing that they needed to up the ante and Alex Myers, with an ‘Angelic Blessing’ from thirty feet in the air, put down his fellow rival and partner in the end.
Rich Russillo: I feel like this could be something to strengthen the bond of NICHOLISM and with these two on the same page, this could mean horrible things for the Voltage roster. As for right now, congratulations to Alex Myers!
(As the two members of NICHOLISM take their leave, Shock Value fades from ringside.)

(The camera fades in to Bella Braxton in the middle of the ring holding a microphone.)
Bella Braxton: The following contest is an Electric Eel Death Match!!! And it is for the EAW Specialists Championship!!!!
(The camera fades in to the ring where officials are shown getting the ring prepared for the Electric Eel Death Match. The middle of the ring is shown with a large square shaped hole into which an aquarium has been lowered from the top of the arena as it slowly descends down amidst flashing strobe lights for extra spectacle.)
Rich Russillo: There are dozens of electric eels swarming around in that tank. Very dangerous indeed.
James Peters: That is right and one of these competitors is going to get shocked by them no doubt. It is going to be very painful.
Persephone: Did you know that electric eels can deliver shocks at up to 860 volts and studying them is what allowed us to invent the first electric battery?
James Peters: …
Rich Russillo: …
Persephone: What? I literally have Wikipedia open on my phone. I’m not fucking Jake Mercer.
Bella Braxton: The rules of this match are as follows. This match is anything goes and is contested under deathmatch rules!!! The only way to win this match is when one opponent has been thrown into the pool of electric eels with only one left standing!!!
(“Bewitched” by Frank Sinatra hits to loud boos.)
Bella Braxton: Introducing first she is the EAW Specialists Champion!!! Being accompanied to the ring by Cornelius and hailing from Boston, Massachusetts she is “The ETERNAL” BEAAAAAAAAAA VALENTINEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!
(Bea Valentine is shown making her way down to the ring looking in a very bad mood. Cornelius is shown trying to urge her to wear an extravagant ring entrance gown he has prepared for her but she is not interested as she beelines directly towards the ring. Notably absent from the champion is the championship itself.)
Rich Russillo: Well Bea Valentine is clearly not pleased with making her entrance tonight as champion. But she is not in possession of the championship belt and it looks like Valerie Hellstorm is not even going to allow the real champion to enter second per tradition.
James Peters: People definitely hate this woman’s guts but she has a point to feel disrespected at this point. You can imagine that she will be doing anything in her power to get Gloria back here tonight.
(Bea Valentine is shown stepping into the ring as she looks into the tank of eels. She plugs her nose and backs away from the tank as if disgusted by the creatures and their fishy smell.)
Bella Braxton: And the challenger…
(“Good 4 u” by Olivia Rodrigo hits!!!)
Bella Braxton: From Las Vegas, Nevada she is “The Girl Boss” VALERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRIE HELLLLLLLLLLLLSTORMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!
(Valerie Hellstorm makes her way out to the stage as she slowly makes her way down to the ring. She is shown holding up the EAW Specialists Championship to the sky as she runs back and forth to both sides of the ramp before making her way down to the ring. As she celebrates with the title Bea Valentine is shown being restrained by Cornelius in the ring as she tries to charge her on the ramp.)
Rich Russillo: Valerie Hellstorm representing La Familia receives another EAW Specialists Championship opportunity here tonight. Surprisingly she is coming out here all alone. Usually with La Familia we see them work together but it looks like Valerie intends to win alone here tonight!
James Peters: Well she is not alone at all. She has Gloria with her! And Bea Valentine is not happy about that whatsoever!
Persephone: She might not be alone… but I feel so alone… Why did Luis not come out with her??? !!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Rich Russillo: Bea Valentine and Valerie Hellstorm are now pacing around the pool in the middle of the ring which is swarming with electric eels. Our hired staff has made sure to provide plenty of caves and rocks for the eels to hide in for their comfort which is why you might not see them. But we can assure you they are in there and happy and safe per recommendations from PETA.
Persephone: PETA needs to protect me from this match because I am an animal in distress also.
James Peters: Bea Valentine and Valerie Hellstorm lock up! They are fighting for position as they nearly stumble sideways into the electric eel pool! But they manage to fight away from it which is good because the match would be ridiculously short if it already ended. I’m sure that Persephone wouldn’t mind that. What happens if they both fall into the electric eel pool? Would the match end early then?
Rich Russillo: Well I guess it would be a draw then. The rules are that the match ends when one of the competitors is thrown into the pool with only one left standing. So I guess in that case… we would see who the first to get out would be? Valerie Hellstorm is using her strength to shove Bea Valentine back up into the corner but the Specialists Champion fights back with repeated forearms to the face trying to knock Valerie back into the ring towards the eel pool. Valerie nearly falls in–
James Peters: But she fights back charging in at Bea Valentine! But Bea dodges and tosses Valerie Hellstorm up over the top rope sending her to the outside! Bea rolls to the outside and grabs the EAW Specialists Championship! Bea has reclaimed Gloria from Valerie at long last! Bea runs in at Valerie… and takes her head off with the Specialists Championship!
Persephone: Yes! She’s bleeding! Hit her again!
Rich Russillo: Wait what the hell is this?
(Cornelius is shown coming down the ramp with a group of servants carrying something big.)
James Peters: What do they have there? Is that a pane of glass?
(Cornelius is shown dragging a pane of glass into the ring directed by Bea Valentine as she yells at him to set it up.)
Rich Russillo: Wait I think I know what she is going for here…
(Cornelius and Bea’s servants drag the glass pane over the pool of eels in the middle of the ring covering it.)
Bea Valentine: (off-mic) !
James Peters: Interesting strategy here by Bea Valentine. She has covered the electric eel pool in the ring with glass which will definitely make it much harder for a competitor to accidentally or intentionally be thrown into it. But you have to wonder how hard that glass is. Will it break if a competitor is thrown on it? Somehow I suspect we will find out.
Persephone: This will make it harder to end the match? WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK BEA?!?
Rich Russillo: Bea Valentine now rolling the bloody Valerie Hellstorm back into the ring as Cornelius and the servants clear out. Bea picks up Valerie and connects with a Scoop Slam on the glass pane in the middle of the ring! But the glass doesn’t crack or break! That must be pretty tough glass! Which means Valerie’s back has to be in complete hell right now from that slam! God damn!
(The electric eels are shown scurrying into their hiding places in fear of the loud noise smashing against the glass covering them. A PETA representative seated at ringside is shown looking on sternly and writing a note in their notebook.)
James Peters: Bea Valentine picks Valerie Hellstorm back up as blood continues to stream down Valerie’s face-
Rich Russillo: But Valerie Hellstorm spits blood into the eyes of Bea Valentine! Valerie now fighting back and lighting up Bea with repeated strikes to the face! Valerie has been unleashed! Valerie rakes the eyes of Bea and tosses her into the corner! Valerie goes shoulder first through the pole and crashes her shoulder up against the LED turnbuckle before tumbling to the outside. Valerie now stalking after Bea as she orders the timekeeper to move and grabs a chair! Valerie now driving the chair down hard into the back of Bea! Bea screams out in pain as she tries to crawl away from Valerie but Valerie drives the chair down into Bea’s back.
Bea Valentine: (off-mic) CORNELIUS! HELP!
(Cornelius is shown rushing in and hands Bea Valentine a lighttube as he stands in between her and Valerie Hellstorm with the chair.)
James Peters: Cornelius throwing himself into harms way! I’m not sure this strategy is going to work however!
(Valerie Hellstorm shrugs as she swings the chair at Cornelius!!!-)
Rich Russillo: But Bea Valentine shoves Cornelius out of the way and Valerie Hellstorm swings the chair wildly dropping it in the attempt! Bea Valentine uses the lighttube that Cornelius handed her and breaks it over the head of Valerie! Valerie drops to the ground her head covered in shattered glass!
Persephone: Where did Cornelius get all these glass weapons from? Does he have a huge stash somewhere in the arena?
James Peters: Bea Valentine lifts up Valerie Hellstorm and drapes her up over her shoulders before spinning around. Bea spinning around like crazy eventually depositing Valerie down on the ground. But Valerie is too dizzy and tips over falling backwards! Valerie collapses from the dizziness as Bea runs across the ring and runs towards Valerie with a Running Punt Kick! But Valerie manages to move out of the way! Valerie is back up and charges at Bea with a Clothesline… but Bea ducks under it and lifts Valerie up… Bea with a Death Valley Driver across the ring! Valerie crashes down back first onto the thick glass covering the electric eel pit!
Persephone: Do you think that the electric eels with suffocate with that glass covering?
Rich Russillo: I think they will be iight… That had to hurt Valerie’s back. It looks like the force of that maneuver might have done some damage to that glass covering. I guess it is not completely indestructible after all… Valerie Hellstorm slowly back up now onto her knees as Bea Valentine measures her with a hard right hand to the bloody face. Bea punches Valerie down as she rolls out of the ring to get out of the way. But Bea is in pursuit! Bea rolls out of the ring… but Valerie reaches under the ring and grabs a Kendo Stick! She bashes the stick into the face of Bea who falls back into the ring shrieking!
James Peters: Oh god look at Bea Valentine’s face! That is absolutely disgusting! There are wooden shards from that kendo stick that splintered off into her face! Bea is ripping them out of the face but some of the wood is lodged under her skin and she can’t get it out! Bea can’t focus on that long however as Valerie hits her again with the kendo stick knocking her down to the floor!
Rich Russillo: Valerie Hellstorm now tossing Bea Valentine back into the ring as Bea slowly gets back up to her feet. Bea throws the wooden splinters she pulled out of her face at Valerie’s face! The wooden pieces get stuck in Valerie’s hair but do little damage beside that! But I think the point was made because Valerie is pissed the hell off! Valerie hammers in at the face of Bea with repeated forearm strikes! But Bea bounces off the ropes and comes back firing at Valerie with forearm strikes of her own! They are battling back now in the middle of the ring trading blows! VALERIE! BEA! VALERIE! BEA! VALERIE! BEA! BEA! BEA!
James Peters: Bea Valentine looks like she is coming out on top of this as she runs off the ropes… but collides into a Forearm from Valerie Hellstorm! Valerie now off the ropes and rushes Bea with a Running Big Boot to the face! Bea falls over collapsing on top of the glass covering over the electric eel pool.
(Bea Valentine looks down through the glass to see an electric eel looking at her from below.)
( https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipe…orus_electricus_showing_lateral_line_pits.jpg )
(Bea Valentine screams in terror as she falls backwards into the corner covering her eyes and shaking. Cornelius is shown rushing over to comfort her.)
Persephone: She should forfeit this match she’s obviously not cut out for it. To be honest I’m not sure I’m cut out for it either considering how long it has been so far.
Rich Russillo: Valerie Hellstorm is not going to be giving Bea Valentine any room to breathe! She shoves Cornelius out of the way and tosses him up and over the top rope! Cornelius sent flying to the outside and crashes and burns! Valerie pulls Bea back up and bashes her head across the top turnbuckle padding! Valerie bleeding so much this early in the match doesn’t bode well for her longevity here but she seems to be doing just fine somehow! Valerie with repeated forearm strikes to the head of Bea in the corner knocking her down and then stomping her out repeatedly! Valerie backs up and charges in with a Running Stomp! But Bea back up and catches Valerie with a Side Elbow! Bea off the ropes now as Valerie staggers up against the ropes! Bea runs in to Clothesline Valerie over the ropes to the outside-
James Peters: No! Valerie Hellstorm catches Bea Valentine and sends her flying over the top to the outside with a Back Body Toss! Bea goes flying many feet up in the air over the top rope and crashing down on the outside!!!
(Cornelius is shown running in to try to catch her!!!!)
Rich Russillo: But he fails to catch her!
(Bea Valentine is shown flipping over the top rope and landing on her spine on the outside mat.)
James Peters: Damn that had to hurt! Bea Valentine could be paralyzed from the impact of that fall! We might need someone out here to check on her!
(The referee is shown checking on Bea Valentine to make sure she is okay. Valerie Hellstorm is shown picking up the Specialists Championship and celebrating in the ring as if she won the match.)
Persephone: DING! DING! DING! AND NEWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!! Why isn’t the music playing???
Rich Russillo: Because Bea Valentine is telling the referee that she can continue the match! She will not be giving up Gloria so easily! Valerie Hellstorm now rolling to the outside of the ring going after Bea as she lifts her up and drops her back first into the LED barricade at ringside.
(An animation of a long eel is shown swimming around ringside across the LED barricades.)
James Peters: Valerie Hellstorm now stomping Bea Valentine’s face into the ground. She picks Bea up and slings her up and over her shoulders before dropping her with an F5 to the ground! Valerie is rolling and we just might be seeing a new Specialists Champion here tonight! Valerie picks Bea up and locks her into a headlock position as she smashes her head into the ring apron. Valerie throws Bea back into the ring before looking underneath the ring… Valerie pulls out a pizza cutter!!! Come on now!!!
(Valerie Hellstorm is shown laughing as she slides into the ring with the pizza cutter moving it around in midair in a slicing motion.)
Rich Russillo: Valerie Hellstorm grabs Bea Valentine and locks her into a Sleeper Hold position on the mat! Valerie now with the pizza cutter as she brings it up to Bea’s forehead and begins slicing back and forth!!!
James Peters: Oh god I can’t watch this-
(Bea Valentine begins to bleed down her face from the slicing of the pizza cutter–)
Persephone: Good the match is finally getting a little entertaining but there is still a long way to go to impress me.
Rich Russillo: Wait look out!!!-
James Peters: Cornelius just jumped into the ring and hit a Superkick to the back of Valerie Hellstorm’s head! Cornelius grabs the pizza cutter and throws it out of the ring saving Bea Valentine from this sadistic torture!
(The crowd is shown booing in outrage as they had been enjoying the carnage that they were witnessing in the ring.)
Rich Russillo: The fans clearly not happy with this interference and it has been extremely blatant from Cornelius here tonight. This is basically a two on one Handicap Match for Valerie Hellstorm at this point!
James Peters: Wait someone is coming down the ramp.
Persephone: OMG OMG OMG <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 POJAOPFJOASPJFPOSJAOFPASJFPSAJFSA <3 <3 <3
Rich Russillo: It’s Luis! Luis De La Rosa is making his way down to the ring! Wait Persephone where are you going?!?!?
(Persephone is shown bursting out of her seat as she runs towards the entrance ramp with her arms outstretched looking to embrace Luis De La Rosa as he comes down the ramp.)
Persephone: (off-mic) You came to save me from this terrible match! Mi amor!!! <3
(However, Luis De La Rosa just continues to run down the ramp ignoring Persephone as he slides into the ring to confront Cornelius instead.)
Persephone: (off-mic) !!!
James Peters: Luis De La Rosa is now in the ring and he is yelling at Cornelius telling him that he needs to leave the ring and leave Valerie Hellstorm alone! Luis is laying down the law on behalf of La Familia and Cornelius would probably be wise to obey… Things could get very bad for him if the rest of La Familia decides to get involved in this match.
Persephone: (off-mic) Wait I understand. You want me to follow you into the ring mi amor? Of course. I am needed to help you!
(Persephone is shown slowly climbing up to the apron but looking on very cautiously especially at the pool of electric eels in the middle of the ring she definitely doesn’t want to get very close to.)
Luis De La Rosa: (off-mic) Move out the way viejo. I don’t want to hurt the elderly. :russlol:
Rich Russillo: But Cornelius is not backing down! He is stepping to Luis De La Rosa!!!
Cornelius: (off-mic) Oh is that so? You think you can harm me young man? I would like to see it.
James Peters: I’m not so sure this is a good idea for Cornelius to be putting himself in harm’s way like this… He might be regretting this.
Luis De La Rosa: (off-mic) Imma beat yo ass dumb ass oldhead. Pinche pendejo you are gonna get these hands!!!
Rich Russillo: Luis De La Rosa is charging in at Cornelius as he looks to take his head off!!!-
(Cornelius is shown grabbing the arm of Luis De La Rosa as his hand swiftly moves to the shoulder of Luis while using his other arm to drive his elbow hard right into Luis’ throat. Luis falls backwards to the mat choking and heaving as he looks on at Cornelius in pain.)
James Peters: What the hell? Cornelius just took down Luis De La Rosa! How the hell…
Rich Russillo: But Luis De La Rosa is not going to take that lying down! He gets right back up and rushes Cornelius!-
(But Cornelius dodges Luis De La Rosa catching him from behind and whipping him down to the ground by the neck in a swift motion. Cornelius then delivers three swift strikes to Luis’ skull leaving him motionless on the ground. Cornelius then brushes off his suit and straightens his tie as he looks down at his opposition in disappointment.)
James Peters: Luis De La Rosa just got taken the hell out by Cornelius! What the this guy has mad skills!
(Luis De La Rosa is shown sitting back up as he slides away from Cornelius looking on in fear.)
Cornelius: (off-mic) It looks like you were unable to harm me. In fact you are not able to harm me at all I fear. As loyal butler to Ms. Valentine I have mastered the art of Krav Maga. You my boy lack the discipline to truly be of any match to me.
Rich Russillo: Luis De La Rosa is enraged! He is seething as Cornelius talks down to him!!!
Luis De La Rosa: (off-mic) Stupid motherfucker! Stay away from me!!!
James Peters: Luis De La Rosa is back up! Is he going to challenge Cornelius yet again??? Wait no! Cornelius is stepping to Luis this time!!!
(Cornelius moves in on Luis De La Rosa-)
Rich Russillo: Wait look out! Luis De La Rosa just grabbed Persephone and shoved her in front of him! Luis throws Persephone to Cornelius as he bails out of the ring!!!
James Peters: What a cowardly bitch! Luis De La Rosa now fleeing up the ramp as Cornelius catches Persephone in his arms.
Persephone: (off-mic) Eeew don’t touch me! I will sue you filthy perv! Only Luis can touch me.
(Persephone is shown raking Cornelius’ eyes as he screams in pain and she escapes out of the ring before returning to the commentary table at long last.)
Rich Russillo: About time you rejoined us. Maybe do your job and you won’t end up in dangerous situations like that.
Persephone: Oh god is the match still not over?
James Peters: It is not I fear. But all of that distraction has allowed Valerie Hellstorm to recover! Valerie grabs Cornelius’ arm from behind and yanks him in… HOLLOW PURPLE CONNECTS!!! Cornelius just got laid the hell out and Valerie is kicking him to the outside of the ring.
Bea Valentine: (off-mic) GOOD HEAVENS NO! LEAVE HIM ALONE YOU WITCH!!!
Rich Russillo: Bea Valentine just realized that Valerie Hellstorm took out Cornelius and she is angrier than I have ever seen her before! Bea leaps onto Valerie’s back from behind biting and clawing at her skull causing even more blood to flow down the head of Valerie! Valerie throws Bea off her slamming her down to the mat but Bea is right back up to confront Valerie once more!!!
James Peters: Both competitors exchanging shots in the middle of the ring now as they battle back and forth in the middle of the ring. Valerie Hellstorm hits Bea Valentine hard in the cuts on her forehead with a running elbow knocking Bea into the corner. Repeated head bashes into the corner before Valerie grabs Bea and sends her flying up and over the ropes to the outside of the ring. Bea lands on the apron as she punches at Valerie trying to avoid being thrown out of the ring. Bea springboards up off the ropes-
Rich Russillo: But Valerie Hellstorm grabs the leg of Bea Valentine from below and yanks her down causing Bea to whip violently downwards slamming her neck first into the apron at high speed! Bea collapses down to the outside and she looks completely out of it! Bea slowly back up-
James Peters: But Valerie Hellstorm charges in with a Tope con Hilo!!! Valerie takes out Bea Valentine with a high-risk maneuver and she gets all of it! Both women have crashed and burned on the outside as they slowly get back up to their feet!
Rich Russillo: Valerie Hellstorm grabs Bea Valentine and runs her head first into the outside ring post! Bea is taking some real punishment as she collapses to the ground and slowly crawls away from Valerie! Valerie now looking for a steel chair as Bea continues to crawl further away from the ring! Smart move by Bea to get away from those electric eels in the ring and avoiding the end of the match! This could go on for a lot longer at this rate!!!
Persephone: Please… please… let this match end… I can’t take it anymore…
Rich Russillo: This match is heated as Valerie Hellstorm drives the steel chair she found somewhere at ringside down into the spine of Bea Valentine! Bea screams out in pain as she is unable to escape from Valerie and now must eat repeated chair shots to the back!!! Bea is desperately crawling away from Valerie as she makes her way over to Cornelius and grabs onto his leg to drag herself away from Valerie! But Valerie follows in pursuit and drives the chair down once again!!!-
James Peters: But Bea Valentine pulls Cornelius’ unconscious body into the path of Valerie Hellstorm’s chairshot! Cornelius eats the chair as Bea gets back up and Dropkicks the chair hard into Valerie’s face! Valerie goes flying backwards dropping the chair and falling backwards hitting the back of her head on the sharp ridge of the steel ring steps!!! Bea now digging around in the suit pockets of Cornelius as she pulls out what looks like a long white piece of rubber. Bea looks disgusted as she pulls it out.
Persephone: Oh nah that is disgusting as hell. This ain’t PG! Cornelius you need to throw your rubbers away don’t just store them in your suit. Filthy perv.
Rich Russillo: What the hell could she be looking for there??? Bea Valentine continues to search in Cornelius’ coat pockets trying to find something… but she had better watch out as Valerie Hellstorm is recovering and moving towards her! Valerie lunges at Bea on the ground!!!-
James Peters: But Bea Valentine whips out a can of pepper spray and blasts it into the eyes of Valerie Hellstorm!!! Valerie falls back screaming in pain as the pepper spray goes directly into her eyes blinding her!!!
Rich Russillo: Bea Valentine now looking to take advantage of this situation as she grabs the steel chair and gets some payback on Valerie Hellstorm! Repeated chair shots to the back from Bea and Valerie is trying to get away but she can’t see at all! She has no idea where she is as Bea picks her up and slides her back into the ring. Bea grabs Valerie Hellstorm and picks her up in the middle of the ring! Bea connects with the CONSPIRACY onto the glass covering driving Valerie into the electric eel pool!!!!
James Peters: Wait no! The glass covering cracks from the impact but it doesn’t break through! Bea Valentine looks very annoyed and frustrated by this as she pounds the mat. But it is her fault for covering it up in the first place… she is throwing a tantrum like a little girl!
Rich Russillo: Well it looks like Bea Valentine just realized that she can just move the covering. She lifts the glass up and off the electric eel pool as the eels within quickly get startled and go into hiding. They are very sensitive creatures after all. Bea then grabs Valerie and tosses her into the pool!!!–
James Peters: But Valerie Hellstorm grabs the arm of Bea Valentine and yanks her back towards her… Valerie connects with the HOLLOW PURPLE sending Bea flipping out of control! Bea nearly lands in the electric eel pool but luckily she managed to land where she was. Valerie also collapses from exhaustion next to the pool of water as she reaches into the pool and grabs some of the water.
(Valerie Hellstorm is shown washing the pepper spray out of her eyes using the water from the electric eel tank.)
Rich Russillo: Smart thinking by Valerie Hellstorm as she slowly regains at least some sight using that water in the ring to wash the pepper spray out of her eyes. Luckily for her electric eels are freshwater fish otherwise this might be a very painful process for her. Wait look out!
(As Valerie Hellstorm reaches into the tank for more water suddenly an electric eel rushes her hand at high speed and wraps around her arm beginning to electrocute her!!!)
James Peters: Oh god I can’t watch this!!! Valerie falls backwards into the ring screaming as she convulses from the shock and the eel eventually falls off Valerie’s arm! The eel is flopping around in the middle of the ring alongside Valerie who looks like she is having a seizure from the electrocution! Hundreds of volts just got driven all up into Valerie!!!
(The PETA official at ringside is shown dropping their notebook in concern as they rush into the ring to return the electric eel into the tank!!!)
Rich Russillo: Wait no that’s not a good ide-
(But the electric eel shocks the PETA official as well before falling back into the pool!)
Rich Russillo: We now have two electrocution victims in the ring as the referee is checking on both Valerie Hellstorm and the PETA representative in the ring. I’m not sure if they will be able to continue this match. But Bea Valentine is slowly getting back up as she shoves the referee aside! Bea might be able to finish this thing here and now!!!
James Peters: Bea Valentine is now sliding the glass covering which is heavily cracked back over the eel pool in the middle of the ring. Bea positions Valerie on top of the glass covering and throws a chair, a light tube, and the Specialists Championship on top of Valerie! Bea covering Valerie up as she begins to climb up to the top rope. This could be very bad indeed for Valerie!!!!!
Rich Russillo: Bea Valentine now standing up on top of the top rope as she takes a bow for the fans before leaping off into the air!!!
James Peters: BEA VALENTINE WITH A SWANTON BOMB ON VALERIE HELLSTORM FROM THE TOP ROPE DRIVING HER THROUGH THE GLASS COVERING AND INTO THE ELECTRIC EEL POOL!!! BAH GAWD!!!-
Rich Russillo: NO! Valerie Hellstorm moved out of the way!!! Bea Valentine crashes back first into the glass covering over the electric eel pool!!! Her spine may be shattered!!
(But that was not all that was shattered then.)
James Peters: The glass covering over the electric eel pool just shattered into a million pieces as Bea Valentine crashed into it!!! Bea falls through!!!
(**SPLASH!!!**)
Rich Russillo: Bea Valentine just splashed with immense force into the electric eel pool! She is screaming out in pain now as the electric eels begin to swarm around her shocking her with high voltage!!!! Oh god Bea is fucked! They are killing her! Someone needs to get her out of there!!!
(Bea Valentine is shown thrashing and convulsing and screaming from the shock of the electric eels as she is dragged down underwater.)
James Peters: WE HAVE A NEW SPECIALISTS CHAMPION!!! VALERIE HELLSTORM HAS DONE IT! BEA HAS GONE INTO THE ELECTRIC EEL POOL AND THIS MATCH IS OVER!!!
(Bea Valentine thrashes her way back up to the surface letting out a long scream as she continues to get shocked by the electric eels. She manages to avoid drowning as she flops back up into the middle of the ring still shaking and covered with an electric eel around her wrist that continues to shock her.)
Rich Russillo: The former champion is dead! Someone get those off her immediately!!!
(Valerie Hellstorm is shown grabbing the Specialists’ Championship off the ground as she begins to celebrate and stands up on the top rope holding it up above her head.)
Rich Russillo: What a big win tonight for Valerie Hellstorm and La Familia! She never gave up and at long last has claimed the championship that has so far eluded her grasp!
James Peters: Good effort by Bea Valentine though. Great champion for a long time but it had to come to an end one day or another.
Persephone: I’m just glad the match is finally over. I haven’t smelled this much fish since the last time I was in a room with Raven Roberts.
Rich Russillo: Wait tho… I just realized that the bell hasn’t run yet…
Valerie Hellstorm: (off-mic) I demand you raise my arm in victory this instant!!!
(Valerie Hellstorm is shown yelling at the referee who refuses to raise her arm in victory.)
Persephone: The match is still not over despite everyone saying it was over? I’m literally going to go jump into the electric eel pool and kill myself at this point.
Referee: (off-mic) I’m afraid I can’t do that ma’am. The rules of this match are very clear. The only way to win the match is when one opponent has been thrown into the pool of electric eels, with only one standing.
Valerie Hellstorm: (off-mic) And I just did that??? I’m the champion bitch!
(Unfortunately for Valerie Hellstorm as she turned around, Bea Valentine was still standing.)
Rich Russillo: WHAT THE HELL? BEA VALENTINE IS STILL STANDING AND SHE IS SMILING! WHAT THE…
(Bea Valentine is shown holding an electric eel in a gloved hand as she rushes in at Valerie Hellstorm!!!)
James Peters: OH NAH! BEA VALENTINE JUST RUSHED IN AT VALERIE HELLSTORM WITH THE ELECTRIC EEL! SHE IS WRAPPING IT AROUND THE NECK OF VALERIE AND CHOKING HER OUT WITH THE EEL!!! VALERIE IS SHOWN SCREAMING AS THE EEL SHOCKS HER AS HARD AS IT CAN! THE EEL IS CLEARLY DISTRESSED AND IN PAIN AS WELL AS VALERIE STRETCHES IT OUT TIGHTENING THE FISH AROUND THE NECK OF VALERIE!!!
Rich Russillo: Bea Valentine is wearing white rubber gloves! That must have been what she took out of Cornelius’ suit earlier! I missed what they were when she found them but she must have slipped them on when she fell into the electric eel pool and used them to grab an eel safely!!!
(Valerie Hellstorm is shown going motionless as she loses consciousness from the combination of the electrocution and the eel choking her out.)
Rich Russillo: Valerie Hellstorm collapses to her knees as Bea Valentine releases the eel and it flops back into the pool. Bea off the ropes… BEA TRIGGER!!!! Bea knees Valerie hard sending her falling into the eel pool!! The eels are swarming as they continue to shock and bite a motionless Valerie! They are killing her!
(Officials at ringside are shown rushing the ring with a large net to capture Valerie and drag her out of the pool. She is still covered with eels that continue to shock her as the referee takes a quick look at her before calling for the bell.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Bella Braxton: Here is your winner… and STILLLLLLLL EAW Specialists Champion BEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAA VALENTINEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!
(“Bewitched” by Frank Sinatra hits as the referee locates the Specialists Championship at ringside and gives it to Bea Valentine. Bea falls down to her knees and breaks down into tears of joy upon being at last reunited with Gloria!!!!)
Rich Russillo: Well that match was definitely very shocking.
James Peters: Indeed it was Rich. Bea Valentine with yet another title defense and at this point, you have to wonder who can even possibly take it from her. It doesn’t matter what kind of insane match she gets put in she finds a way to win every single time.
Persephone: She is still trash in my opinion after what she did to Luis. She doesn’t deserve to be champion and is highly overrated.
(Valerie Hellstorm is shown being loaded up onto a stretcher and carried backstage by medical personnel who are trying to tend to her serious electrocution-based injuries.)
Rich Russillo: Hopefully Valerie Hellstorm will be alright. We will probably have more medical updates on her in the days and weeks to come. We will try not to forget to update you all.
James Peters: Anyway there is a lot more Shock Value action still to come. Stay tuned!!!
(The camera cuts to a commercial featuring Meek Mill campaigning for EAW to have a Meat Madness match.)
(Shock Value fades into the next match graphic of the night.)
(https://i.ibb.co/KspPN8q/Electrified-Clusterfuck.png)
(The camera cuts to the ring, as the scenery has shifted dramatically to a far more dangerous environment littered with impending carnage. The scaffold can be seen high above the ring, as Bella Braxton remains in the timekeepers area.)
Bella Braxton: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THIS… IS AN ELECTRIFIIIIIED CLUSTERFUCK MATCH!! The only way of victory, is by climbing onto the scaffold, and making your way toward retrieving the contract! The elitist who is able to secure the contract, will be the #1 CONTENDER FOR THE EAW WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP… AT GRANDDDD RAMPAGE!!!
(‘Stronger (salü remix)’ by The Score can be heard throughout the arena as Rex McAllister makes his way outward from the entrance ramp as he has a positive expression, while looking toward the ring as he sees the match he will undergo to punch his ticket to Grand Rampage, but he remains undeterred. He looks at the crowd with a reassuring nod, before he begins to walk down the ramp.)
Bella Braxton: From Sea Isle, New Jersey! Weighing in at 238 pounds… REXXXXX MCALLISTER!!!
Persephone: *They had to bring this guy out first.*
James Peters: After what occurred in the previous FPV, Rex McAllister surely deserves another opportunity for the EAW World Championship! He had the match won, and it would be taken from him unceremoniously! In spite of that, Rex is here to earn his way right back into contention for the world title!
Rich Russillo: That was Charlie Marr being clever and retaining his title by any means necessary! He did what he had to! However, I won’t deny the performance that Rex had in that match! And to see that he gets this chance once more, I won’t be surprised by what he’s willing to go through so he can see to it that the opportunity remains in his hands!
(‘Bounce Back’ by Big Sean can be heard as the crowd lets their positive reactions be known throughout the arena. Jack Ripley emerges from the back with a nod to the roaring crowd, before looking ahead to the ring as he has a confident gaze before beginning to walk down the ramp, entirely focused on the battle that lies ahead of him as he gazes around the environment he competes within.)
Bella Braxton: From Las Vegas, Nevada! Weighing in at 205 pounds… JACK, RIPLEYYYYYY!!!!
James Peters: Jack Ripley has not had the strongest string of momentum serving moments, and he would most lilly tell you himself that the year he had previously was a bit unremarkable, but he’s here to leave all of the slopes he’s experienced behind! Securing the contract tonight could do wonders for Jack!
Rich Russillo: Of course, when four elitists in this match are former World Champions, you can’t help but see who would truly hunger for this opportunity more. Jack will surely be one to look out for, as I know he’s yearning for that big next step that can take him to world title contention!
(‘Somebody Get Me A Doctor’ by Van Halen hits to the immense reaction of the audience, as Dr. Bethany Blue makes her way out to the ramp with the chorus of incredible boos following her. The environment ahead only leaves her enhancing her focus for the match ahead, as she pays no mind to their reactions with her focus is very apparent, and makes her way down the ramp while looking ahead to the scaffold.)
Bella Braxton: From Miami, Florida! Weighing in at 125 pounds, DR. BETHANYYYYYYY BLUE!!!
Persephone: You know, why couldn’t they give a rising star like Luis this match?? Since nearly all of the people here are former World Champions, I think they’re lowballing mi amor immensely!
James Peters: The five elitists that march into a match such as this are meant to be physically & mentally prepared by every stretch of the imagination, and Dr. Bethany Blue surely poses that much to her advantage. She has put herself through the most difficult and challenging battles, able to come out on top! Electrified Clusterfuck is another challenge that she may conquer as well!
Rich Russillo: There is absolutely no denying the resume of the doctor, she’s here for a reason! Hungry as ever, looking to secure another world championship in her trophy case as she’s ready for the war to come! Every elitist HAS to be prepared of course, and Bethany’s got a real good shot!
(‘I Wish A Bitch Would’ by Delilah Bon can be heard blaring throughout the speakers as the crowd erupts in further reactions. Cameron Ella Ava makes her way out from the back, standing at the ramp with utmost focus as she’s glaring upward to the scaffold. Cameron continues to head down the ramp, not losing sight of her goal tonight with not a single look being made to the audience.)
Bella Braxton: From Los Angeles, California! Weighing in at 140 pounds…. CAMERONNNNNNNNN ELLAAA AVA!!!
James Peters: And here’s Cameron Ella Ava! Another former World Champion & EAW Hall of Famer who is looking to head into Grand Rampage with an immense opportunity! This match will very much test everyone who partakes within the war to come, but there’s no doubts that Cameron is willing to go through this war and then some to become #1 Contender!
Rich Russillo: The chaos that’s about to go down in mere moments will be catastrophic to every single one of these accomplished elitists tonight, but this is the price they must pay to stamp their name as the premiere contender for the RAW World Championship. Cameron Ella Ava without a shadow of a doubt has the capabilities to secure this victory, but it will be an uphill battle to the extreme…
(“I Rise” by Cory Marks blared through the speakers now, as Donovan Duke, with Mia Santoro at his side, made his way down the ramp, looking around at the arena. Donovan glances at Mia with a smile, as she reaffirms the positivity with a nod from herself. Donovan gives an assuring nod as he receives the energy from the crowd’s approval.)
Bella Braxton: From Stillwater, Oklahoma! Weighing in at 212 pounds… DONOVANNNN DUKE!!!
James Peters: The sole competitor in this match who has been unable to become World Champion, but would do absolutely everything that it could possibly take to become the #1 Contender! A match of this magnitude means the world to Donovan Duke, and here is his moment to rise above the carnage that will be unleashed in just a matter of moments!!
Persephone: The de facto underdog, how fun. 🙄
Rich Russillo: Donovan Duke is desperate to finally reach the level that the rest of this field here have, to be able to call himself World Champion. To be given utmost respect of an elitist that can declare himself as a future EAW Hall of Famer. A win tonight can completely change the direction of Donovan’s career for the better, where he gets this much needed opportunity to become one step closer to achieving what’s been kept away from him for so long….
(DING! DING! DING!)
Rich Russillo: AND THE ELECTRIFIED CLUSTERFUCK IS ON ITS WAY! And to be frankly honest, I don’t know what you do here, if you are one of the five individuals in this match to kick things off. Everything and everyone feels calculated here. You don’t wanna overstep any boundaries, because if you do, you might be entering your demise. This field is full of nothing but former champions, each of them have won championship matches before, and that is so important to the penultimate goal. Who’s gonna be the first one to leave the ring, and remember this ring is surrounded by ELECTRIFIED ROPES. So this match is entirely a game changer. You have to be slight and precise about leaving the ring here. One wrong step, and you may be frying like a fish!
James Peters: This is going to be a match that gives Voltage roster members nightmares for years to come. However over in the top of your screen, we can see Dr. Bethany Blue and Rex McAllister come to blows! trading back and forth, as Jack Ripley and Cameron Ella Ava are doing the same! This might be the most dangerous start to a match we’ve ever had in EAW. And that is saying something, one wrong move here in the electric clusterfuck.. and things aren’t going to be any good. But look at Donovan Duke! He is the only one unoccupied with an extra person here, as he is going to slide out of the ring, underneath the bottom rope to make sure he doesn’t get fried!
Persephone: I hope his head gets stuck.
Rich Russillo: Donovan is one of the only non Hall Of Famer in this match, and that is something to apply deeply onto. Does the mentality of wanting to be in the Hall Of Fame someday, be the driving force that edges Donovan Duke out over the rest of them? I believe that can be the case. He has so much to fight for in the terms of his career, but every other But regardless, the others in this match have a reason to fight, and make sure they come out of here victorious. Back in the ring however, some others have started to taken attention to Donovan exiting the ring! Rex McAllister goes to roll underneath the bottom rope and escape the ring, no one wanting to willingly be fried, and I see why!
James Peters: BUT BETHANY STOMPS ON REX MCALLISTER’S HAND AS HE SLIDES OUT OF THE RING! You can see the pain reflect in the eyes of Rex McAllister, Bethany pulls Rex back into the middle of the ring now, as she rolls out underneath the bottom rope! Bethany is one of the most dangerous people in this match. I know what her focus will be on, making sure other people wake up sore tomorrow morning. With that being said now, Bethany sets her sights on Donovan Duke, all around the arena you can see weapons scattered. Weapons that are employed with barbed wire, I wouldn’t want to be on the other end of any. Bethany becomes the first competitor in this match however to equip herself with a weapon as she grabs an—ELECTRIFIED 2×4!!
Persephone: Fried brains for breakfast!!!
Rich Russillo: That is one way to put it, but being cracked over the head may just fry your brains in a match like this! But regardless of all that, If I am Donovan Duke, I am worried less about how everything operates here, and I am more hopeful that I can just use everything to assist in my favor! Bethany has her focus locked in on Donovan Duke, she just wants to start this match in the best way possible for her favor, you can really ask yourself the question here, one strike to the face should take your opponent out half the match, well that is enough of a question in theory.. AS BETHANY BLUE IS ABOUT TO TEST THAT THEORY, SWINGING THE ELECTRIFIED 2×4 AT DONOVAN DUKE!
James Peters: NO! DONOVAN DUKE MANAGES TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY, AND NOBODY WAS HOME FOR BETHANY BLUE. What was great fortune for Donovan Duke, was just an unfortunate miscue from Bethany Blue, who really only has one option, BUT TO TRY AND SWING AGAIN- BUT NO! ONCE AGAIN DONOVAN MANAGES TO NARROW IT OUT! Donovan Duke tries to back away from Bethany Blue who is wielding the dangerous weapon, BUT HE TRIPS! That is not good for Donovan, he is like prey caught by a predator, trying to back away from the wooden plank wielding psychopath, AS BETHANY SWINGS A THIRD AND FINAL TIME!
Persephone: HAVE FUN LEARNING TO FUNCTION AGAIN!
(BANG!)
Rich Russillo: NO! REX MCALLISTER IS OUT FOR REVENGE AS HE CAME TO THE AID OF DONOVAN DUKE WITH A JUMPING HIGH KNEE TO THE BACK OF BETHANY’S HEAD! That was perfect for Donovan Duke, as you could almost pinpoint this perfectly from the horror movie you were speaking of Rich! The hero comes in and saves the day. That startled Bethany Blue enough to disarm her from the electrified wooden plank she was using, getting herself confused for Freddie Freeman with how many swings she was taking! But unfortunately she struck out. Donovan Duke and Rex McAllister, you couldn’t really call it working together now could you? Rex was getting some revenge on Bethany from earlier on. Back in the ring we have the 2 Hall Of Famers Cameron Ella Ava and Jack Ripley still going at it, since the bell rung, they’ve been entirely focused in on dealing permanent damage.
James Peters: Cameron Ella Ava drags Jack Ripley over to the middle of the ring where she sees fit and feels comfortable, and if I were in there right now, I would wanna be furthest away from the ropes, she brings Jack there- before getting him with a northern lights suplex! A huge opportunity opening up for Cameron, as she is just adjusting herself in the ring and not overwhelming herself. BUT HANG ON! LET’S QUICKLY TURN OUR ATTENTION BACK TOWARDS THE THREE COMPETITORS ON THE OUTSIDE! Donovan Duke out for some revenge at the woman who wanted to use his head like a baseball, as he trails over to the electrified trash can! Taking Bethany Blue out early in this match can be a huge defacto reason, leading into victory. Taking the trash can and putting it in perfect position, Bethany Blue slowly rises to her feet–
(BZZZZTTTTTT!)
Rich Russillo: DR. BETHANY BLUE IS GERMAN SUPLEXED ONTO THE ELECTRIFIED TRASH CAN BY DONOVAN DUKE! SMOKE GOES EVERYWHERE AS BETHANY’S PLAN HORRIFICALLY WORKED IN HER FAVOR OH MY GOODNESS! Donovan wasn’t completely out of the fray either. As the smoke here at ringside has Donovan Duke and Rex McAllister both discombobulated. I can barely see anything over there! But this is huge getting Bethany out of there as quick as you possibly can early on! However alone in the ring.. CAMERON ELLA AVA HAS PERFECT OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE A BIG PLAY TOWARDS VICTORY! As she rolls out underneath the bottom rope, every competitor has done a good job so far at avoiding them..
Persephone: How come Bethany is a doctor, yet didn’t wear anything shock resistant? Dumbass.
James Peters: That question can be answered in, I don’t think that it would have been fair for the other competitors who don’t have a degree. But this is besides the point, the only way to establish victory in this match is by ascending an electrified ladder. Pain is nearly inevitable in this match, no one is going to just get through this, pain free. As Cameron Ella Ava is a woman who recognizes that! Her attention is diverted on one of the ladders, she’s gonna have to try and get it back in the ring! On the other side of the ring, we have Rex McAllister and Donovan Duke starting to fight now, disbanding their temporary alliance to eliminate Bethany Blue from the match! They haven’t seen the approach Cameron is making, as she treads towards the ladder-
Rich Russillo: BEFORE JACK RIPLEY RE-ENTERS THE FRAY! TAKING CAMERON ELLA AVA DOWN ON THE OUTSIDE WITH A HURRICANRANA! Cameron Ella Ava wasn’t fast enough to bank on her opportunity, however the opportunity all goes towards Jack Ripley now. And Jack Ripley with some revenge from earlier, he can feel nullified that he managed to get things back into his control early on in this match, and he could potentially go home with it already this early as he can find himself as the one who gets the ladder into the ring now, he looks up at the electrified ladder, as it’s nearly the perfect opportunity for him! He goes to grab it. He now has the ladder in his possession as he turns around, treading towards the ring…
(BZZZZZZZZZT!)
James Peters: AND CAMERON ELLA AVA DROPKICKS THE ELECTRIFIED LADDER INTO JACK RIPLEY AS HE TURNS AROUND! OH MY GOODNESS! YOU CAN SEE SMOKE AROUND RINGSIDE FOR DAYS. That got really bad really quick for Jack Ripley, as soon as he saw his opportunity open, it was almost immediately gone again. Cameron Ella Ava isn’t out of the ballpark however, it was a good play by her. But the smoke is definitely taking a toll on her, as she uses the barricade to assist herself. That’s just another factor to take into account in this match. Sparks are flying everywhere in this match, and they can get all up in your face in an instant!! Rex McAllister and Donovan Duke on the other side of the ring saw the implosion go off, as ever since eliminating Bethany Blue from the fray, they have been on the onslaught of one another!
Rich Russillo: Knocking Donovan Duke back briefly, Rex McAllister looks to drill his opponent to the ground with a running lariat, as he rushes right towards Donovan, BUT NO! Donovan prevails as he uses his sheer strength to catch Rex McAllister, stopped in his tracks is one Rex McAllister as his situation isn’t mending the most in his favor, but it’s the perfect opening for Donovan Duke, WHO GETS REX MCALLISTER WITH A BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX! A quick momentum shift for Donovan Duke as the ring is completely empty now from all the competitors that once filled it up! Giving you a run down, Bethany got taken out a short while ago, Rex McAllister got taken out just now by Donovan Duke’s belly to belly suplex, Jack Ripley got taken out after Cameron dropkicked the ladder onto him! and Cameron Ella Ava is still recuperating from the blast. Right now is the perfect window of opportunity for Donovan Duke!
Persephone: Was this match sponsored by lays barbecue by the way?
James Peters: Well, I can see why you have asked that. Some of the best members on the Voltage roster have been barbecued so far. But with an empty ring to boot, all Donovan Duke has to do is make his way over towards the ladder! Again, he may be fighting for the most out of every competitor in this match! And that is showing by how quick and immediate he is to reach where he wants to be! Taking another electrified ladder, as he slides it into the ring! For the first time in this match now a ladder has made its introduction to the ring, Donovan Duke meticulously slides into the ring, and the opportunity is never more perfect than ever! Donovan Duke has to just ascend to the top of the electrified ladder, which is easier said than done, and secure himself the opportunity at Grand Rampage!
Rich Russillo: BUT NOT IF CAMERON ELLA AVA HAS SOMETHING TO SAY ABOUT IT! THE HALL OF FAMER IS BACK UP TO HER FEET! As Donovan Duke grabs one end of the ladder, she quickly slides into the ring and grabs the other end of the ladder, as this quickly becomes a scary position! How do you even fight over an electric ladder? The both of them, scarily trying to outweigh the other. This is a dangerous situation that you don’t wish to come out on the bottom from.. Donovan and Cameron, this is getting real worrisome!
James Peters: Donovan & Cameron refusing to let one another give way with the ladder, but Donovan is able to muster up the strength here to push Cameron directly into the corner, keeping her situated against the corner as the edge of the ladder is shoved right into the midsection of Cameron!!! Thankfully this end doesn’t seem to electrify her, but the brunt of the ladder being pressed right into her abdomen still hasn’t done her any favo—
Rich Russillo: NEITHER DOES AN ENZIGURI FROM REX MCALLISTER RIGHT ACROSS CAMERON’S TEMPLE! Cameron’s dazed out of her mind as she’s still kept against the corner with the ladder pressed against her midsection! Cameron’s keeping a firm grip of the ladder, refusing to lose her focus despite visibly being dazed from McAllister’s enziguri—
(BOOM!!!!)
James Peters: DEAR GOD EXPLODING TRASH CAN LID SMACKED OVER THE SKULL OF CAMERON ELLA AVA BY BETHANY! WHERE DID THE DOCTOR GET THAT?? CAMERON HAS TO BE OUT COLD NOW AFTER GOING THROUGH THAT EXPLOSION OVER HER HEAD! Now Cameron slumps down in a seated position as Donovan is able to drag the ladder away from the corner!
Rich Russillo: BUT HERE’S JACK—HOLY CRAP!!! KNEES TO THE FACE OF DONOVAN DUKE FROM THE TOP ROPE!! WHERE THE HELL DID HE COME FROM?!? Donovan drops the ladder back on the mat after the knees collide across his own face due to Jake getting back into this!! Now Jack has his sights set on Rex, as he’s looking to move himself back into the ring! Ripley rushes toward Rex… AS REX CATCHES HIM WITH AN OPEN PALM CHOP RIGHT OVER HIS CHEST! Jack’s stopped right in his tracks as he’s now leaning on the ropes, as Rex pulls Jack right over the ELECTRIC ROPES! THEY’RE ELECTROCUTING JACK AS HE’S BEING PULLED OVER THE TOP ROPE AND ONTO THE APRON!!!
Persephone: These idiots haven’t found a way to fry this clown yet????
James Peters: Now Jack’s situated on the apron, his body seen with visible marks due to the electric ropes as Rex is dragging Jack back up to his knees, aiming for another chop—BUT JACK WITH A DESPERATE ELBOW TO REX’S MIDSECTION! Somehow Jack has the wherewithal to remain in this! Ripley sends another forearm right to the abdomen of McAllister before bringing himself up! They can barely grasp onto the ropes or else they’ll surely feel that electric shock!! Jack sends a forearm to Rex’s chest, but Rex returns the heat with another chop as both men are still on this apron!
Rich Russillo: Look!!! The Doctor is setting something up at ringside right beside Rex & Jack!!! Is that—AN ELECTRIFIED TABLE??? She’s preparing these two elitists for their impending demise and they don’t even realize it!!! Rex & Jack are still tossing the forearms and chops toward each other till Jack begins to overpower Red with continuous forearms! One by one!!! Now Jack’s running toward Rex aiming for another knee—BICYCLE KICK BY REX CATCHES JACK RIGHT ACROSS THE JAW!! Jack is rocked by the kick as Rex slumps back into a crouched position, with Jack lowering his upper body and arching forward, a much lighter grip on the middle rope!
Persephone: Donovan is up and running again and he sees Jack… and the table… wait… WAIT HE’S RUNNING!!! WHAT THE HELL IS HE DOING—
(CRASH!!!!)
James Peters: SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMB ONTO THE ELECTRIFIED TABLE!!!!! ONTO THE FREAKIN’ TABLE THEY WENT!!! JACK’S COMPLETELY MOTIONLESS WHILE DONOVAN SQUIRMS AROUND WITH A HAND ON HIS LOWER BACK!!! THESE ELITISTS TONIGHT ARE WILLING TO DO ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING TO SECURE THIS OPPORTUNITY!!! MY GOD!!
Rich Russillo: McAllister is trying to position himself upward now, seeing that Jack will be out of commission for the time being along with Donovan’s own struggles here—BUT BETHANY’S BACK IN THE RING AND SHE YANKS REX INTO THE TOP ROPE NECK-FIRST!! REX IS HOLDING ONTO HIS OWN THROAT AFTER BEING ELECTROCUTED BY THE ROPE AGAINST HIS NECK! AND BETHANY IS DRAGGING REX BACK INTO THE RING THROUGH THE TOP & MIDDLE ROPES!!
James Peters: Bethany’s eagerly shifting Rex over to the ladder that’s still laying flat on the mat!! The Doctor shifts Rex’s lower body through an opening of the ladder completely sandwiching Rex’s lower body within the ladder as she now sits herself over the ladder itself, grabbing Rex’s legs as she’s… OH MY GOD! THERE’S NO WAY!!
Rich Russillo: ‘FRACTURED’ IS LOCKED IN!!! DR. BETHANY BLUE WITH A MODIFIED BOSTON CRAB AS THE ELECTROCUTION MUST BE COURSING ACROSS REX’S BODY!!! REX IS GROANING OUT IN AGONY AS THE LADDER IS CAUSING AN EVEN MORE UNNATURALLY PAINFUL ARCH WITH REX’S LOWER BACK DUE TO THE MANEUVER!!! BETHANY’S PUTTING MCALLISTER THROUGH AN UNREALIZED HELL!!!
Persephone: I’VE BEEN FUCKING WAITING FOR THIS MOMENT! CAN’T EVEN WIN THE MATCH LIKE THIS BUT I DON’T GIVE A DAMN! MORE!!
James Peters: I DON’T KNOW HOW REX IS ABLE TO REMAIN CONSCIOUS! HIS BACK ALONG WITH THE ELECTRICITY RUNNING ALONG HIS BODY TO CAUSE FURTHER SHOCK!! BUT HERE’S DONOVAN TRYING TO MOVE UP THE APRON! Right after shifting what appears to be AN ELECTRIFIED BARBED WIRE WRAPPED BOARD INTO THE RING?? Donovan’s recovered just enough from the sunset flip powerbomb to bring himself up the apron now!! But he’s still got a hand on his lower back as he’s looking to move himself up to a more proper stance before heading back—
Rich Russillo: WAIT! BETHANY THINKS QUICKLY AND TOSSES DONOVAN AN ELECTRIFIED CHAIR! DUKE CATCHES THE CHAIR!!!
James Peters: ‘TJD’!!!! THE SUPERKICK INTO THE CHAIR AS IT COLLIDES WITH DONOVAN’S SKULL! DONOVAN SLUMPS DOWNWARD ONTO THE APRON AS HE JUST GOT SENT A SUDDEN SHOCK BY THE CHAIR ALL THANKS TO BETHANY!! Now the Doctor has the entire ring all to herself, and she’s got the ladder situated right where she needs it to be if she wants to secure her world championship opportunity at Grand Rampage!!!
Rich Russillo: Bethany is propping the ladder upward now, as she’s able to get the ladder propped up accordingly in the middle of the ring! She’s not paying too much mind to the board that was just moved into the mat by Donovan, using this time to now make the climb upward to the ladder! Although she’ll need to be increasingly careful when the ladder ITSELF is also electrified as well!!! But she’s able to make her way to the top! Now all she needs to do is get herself on the scaffold!!!
Persephone: Sure as hell won’t be the move anymore when CAMERON THROWS THE SAME CHAIR RIGHT INTO BETHANY’S OWN LOWER BACK!!
James Peters: CAMERON DOES!!! BETHANY’S CLUTCHING HER LOWER BACK WHILE STILL SITUATED AT THE TOP, NOT ABLE TO BRING HERSELF UP THE LADDER FULLY! The electrified chair was thrown right across her back while Cameron managed to return back into the fray! Now she’s making her way up the ladder as quickly as she can, remaining wary of the electricity that’s sprawling across the ladder before meeting Bethany up at the top of the ladder!! She’s sending the rights toward Bethany and trying to knock her off the ladder!!! BUT BETHANY’S HOLDING ON! SENDING RIGHTS OF HER OWN AS SHE’S REFUSING TO GIVE WAY! BOTH OF THESE BONAFIDE SUPERSTARS ARE EXCHANGING PUNCHES AND LOOKING TO KNOCK THE OTHER OFF!!!
Rich Russillo: BETHANY WITH AN EYE-RAKE!! THE EYE RAKE CAUSES CAMERON TO BE STATIONARY FOR THE MOMENT! The Doctor builds a slight grin on her face as she’s catching her breath and recollecting her bearings, now having Bethany exactly where she needs her!! Bethany now props herself upward, her leg shifting over the ladder as she’s pressing her leg against Cameron’s chest, DOING ALL THAT SHE CAN TO SHOVE CAMERON OFF THE LADDER WITH HER FOOT!!
James Peters: BUT CAMERON’S CONSCIOUS ENOUGH TO HOLD ON!! SHE SENDS A SUDDEN RIGHT ACROSS BETHANY’S JAW!!! And with the doctor’s leg still situated against Cameron.. HER LEG IS RAISED ABOVE THE LADDER BEFORE BEING SLAMMED RIGHT OVER IT!! CAMERON SLAMS HER LEG DOWNWARD AS BETHANY FEELS THE HURT FROM THAT MANEUVER!! Bethany’s get her hand clutching onto her leg while maintaining her stance on the ladder the best she possibly can!!
Rich Russillo: BUT CAMERON SENDS A STIFF FOREARM RIGHT ACROSS BETHANY’S TEMPLE SOON AFTER! Bethany’s stunned, and Cameron’s glancing downward for a moment… she has one HELL of an idea in mind here!!! Cameron is getting her arm around Bethany’s neck here, and her other hand gripped right onto her tights as the doc’ is having difficulties getting herself out of this predicament here!!!
Persephone: What the hell is she… no fucking way…
James Peters: SHE HOISTS HER UPWARD AND TURNS—
Persephone: :damn:
Rich Russillo: FALCON ARROW ALL THE WAY FROM THE TOP OF THE LADDER!!!!!!! DOWN BELOW ONTO THE ELECTRIFIED BARBED WIRE BOARD!!!!! HOW THE HELL ARE ANY OF THEM BREATHING AFTER THAT!!!! THE IMPACT! THE SHOCK!! CAMERON’S ABLE TO SQUIRM AROUND BUT BETHANY BARELY SHIFTS HERSELF OFF THE BOARD BEFORE REMAINING MOTIONLESS!! THIS IS INSANE!!!!
James Peters: I DON’T KNOW HOW CAMERON’S ABLE TO MOVE AT ALL!!! THAT TELLS YOU THE LENGTHS THEY ARE WILLING TO GO TONIGHT!!! Cameron Ella Ava finds a way up to her feet as she’s able to use the turnbuckle to pull herself upward!! No hands on the ropes, any additional force on them could only fry her and leave her vulnerable! Cameron’s able to stumble up to her feet, with a wobbly stance, but it’s a stance nonetheless that keeps her in the running!! She turns herself around—
Rich Russillo: ‘DEALER’S CHOICE’ BY DONOVAN DUKE KNOCKS CAMERON INTO THE ROPES!!! CAMERON’S ELECTROCUTED AS SHE SLUMPS DOWN ONTO THE MAT AFTER THE SPINNING BACK FIST KNOCKS HER INTO THE ROPES!!! DONOVAN IS BACK IN THIS MATCH!!! NOW HE NEEDS TO MAKE HIS WAY UP THE LADDER!
James Peters: Donovan’s carefully moving himself up the ladder!!! The crowd surely wants this just as bad as this is a must for Donovan to finally climb what’s felt like an impossible mountain toward world championship gold! BUT HERE’S REX! Rex slid into the ring and now he’s able to yank Donovan back down and off the ladder! Duke is able to land on his feet as he has his attention focused entirely on Rex, aiming for another ‘DEALER’S CHOICE’—
Rich Russillo: REX DUCKS THE SPINNING BACK FIST & IMMEDIATELY TURNS HIMSELF AROUND WITH A VICIOUS LARIAT THAT TURNS DONOVAN INSIDE OUT!!! DONOVAN’S FLOORED BY THE LARIAT, BUT REFUSING TO STAY DOWN FOR LONG! HE’S CRAWLING!! Rex remains on the attack however!!! He’s dragging Donovan off from the mat with his arms around his waist right behind him!!!! AND SENDS DONOVAN ONTO THE ELECTRIFIED BOARD WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX!!!! DONOVAN’S CLUTCHING THE BACK OF HIS HEAD AS HE’S SQUIRMING AROUND!!! NOW REX IS MOVING HIMSELF UPWARD!
(SMACK!!!)
Persephone: BUT NOT FOR LONG!! JACK RIPLEY WITH AN ELECTRIFIED KENDO STICK SMACKS REX ACROSS HIS BACK!!! THANK YOU!!
James Peters: AND THAT HE IS! JACK’S BACK INTO THE BATTLEFIELD AFTER THE HELLACIOUS POWERBOMB HE TOOK THROUGH THE TABLE! THE ELECTRIFIED KENDO STICK IS BEING STRIKED OVER REX’S BACK OVER AND OVER WITHOUT AVAIL!! NOW JACK USES THE KENDO STICK TO PLACE IT AROUND REX’S NECK HERE—WITH A MODIFIED BACKSTABBER AS HE UTILIZED THE KENDO STICK TO HIS ADVANTAGE!! That leaves Rex coughing up a freakin’ storm as he’s holding onto his throat in the process!!! A kendo stick remains Jack Ripley’s best friend in environments such as this!!!
Persephone: And I get to watch Rex suffer! Heaven on earth!
Rich Russillo: Jack with a keen eye spots Cameron mustering up some strength of her own at ringside!! Ripley quickly rolls himself under the bottom rope and stands back up, as he lines up Cameron while she’s staggering back up to her feet… BEFORE LEAPING OFF AND PLANTING CAMERON’S SKULL ONTO THE RINGSIDE FLOOR WITH A TORNADO DDT!!!
James Peters: BUT LOOK! JACK’S CLUTCHING HIS BACK AND SQUIRMING AS WELL, HE LANDED THE TORNADO DDT ON AN ELECTRIFIED SURFACE OF THE RINGSIDE AREA!!! Ripley takes more time to move himself back up, but he still manages to do so!!! Now his eyes are set on Bethany, who SOMEHOW is able to muster whatever strength she possibly can to move herself back up now! The doctor’s pulling herself up with use of our announce desk, but Jack’s not looking to give her the breathing room here!!!
Rich Russillo: JACK RUNS UP THE STEEL STEPS AND LEAPS OFF WITH A HURRICANRANA THAT SENDS BETHANY INTO THE APRON!! Jack’s managing to get all of the momentum going now as he’s now configuring himself back into the swing of this intense match here! Ripley quickly looks under the apron, as he’s bringing out even more tables into the mix!!! Jack’s able to set up a table accordingly near the apron—
James Peters: BUT NOT BEFORE BETHANY WACKS AN ELECTRIFIED CHAIR ACROSS JACK’S LEG WHILE SHE’S PRONE ON THE FLOOR!! Jack’s clutching his leg as he’s leaned against the announce desk, but Bethany’s still holding onto the chair as she’s looking to swing the chair downward over Jack’s skull!!!! BUT JACK KICKS THE CHAIR OUT OF HER HANDS! Bethany’s staggering a bit as she’s still not in the most perfect form after the hurricarana, now Jack’s situated himself up top the announce desk, and HE’S GOT A HANDFUL OF BETHANY’S HAIR, DRAGGING HER UP TO THE ANNOUNCE TABLE!!
Rich Russillo: AND NOW BETHANY’S SENDING THE FOREARMS, BUT JACK’S ALSO RETURNING THE FIRE RIGHT BACK TO HER! Neither of these well renowned competitors are willing to budge!!! Bethany with a forearm!!! Jack with a forearm!!! Bethany aims for another BUT JACK WITH A SUDDEN CHOP ACROSS HER CHEST!!! JACK DOESN’T WASTE ANOTHER MOMENT GOING FOR ‘YOU’LL FLOAT TOO’—
James Peters: BETHANY DUCKS THE SUPERKICK AND TURNS BACK AROUND WITH ‘CODE BLUE’!!!!
Rich Russillo: NO!!! JACK SIDE-STEPS THE PUNCH AND MANEUVERS BEHIND BETHANY!!! BUT HERE’S CAMERON ELLA AVA BACK IN THE FRAY MOVING UP THE ANNOUNCE DESK TOO!!!! SHE RUNS TOWARD BETHANY AS THE DOCTOR’S WIDE-EYED AND SEES A FOREARM COMING HER WAY!!!!
James Peters: BETHANY DUCKS AS CAMERON NAILS THE ‘WONDER WOMAN PUNCH’ ON JACK RIPLEY!!!! CAUSING JACK TO FALL HIS BACK ONTO THE EDGE OF THE BARRICADE!!!! GOOD GOD! HIS BACK BENT BACK AFTER LANDING ONTO THE BARRICADE IN VIOLENT FASHION!!! RIPLEY’S SLUMPED ON THE FLOOR AS CAMERON’S UP ON THE ANNOUNCE TABLE!
Persephone: CAN THEY GET THE FUCK OFF ALREADY???
Rich Russillo: ‘THE REMEDY’!!!!!!! BETHANY LAUNCHES HERSELF OFF THE TABLE WITH A GRASP OF CAMERON’S HEAD AS SHE NAILS THE CUTTER RIGHT ONTO THE HARD RINGSIDE FLOOR!!! A violent landing for both women as the electrified floor doesn’t do them any favors with Bethany clutching her own back!!! She’s managing to shift herself onto her feet now, and I don’t believe she’s satisfied as she’s spitting Cameron still making every attempt to crawl!!! Bethany doesn’t allow another second to go to waste as she gets a hold of Cameron… TOSSING HER INTO THE STEEL STEPS WITHOUT AVAIL! The steps shift away from where they were situated as Cameron’s down!!
James Peters: Bethany eyes up toward the ring and sees that Rex is proceeding to climb!!! The doctor quickly shifts the steel steps into the ring while McAllister is able to climb while he can! BUT IT’S NOT QUICK ENOUGH! BETHANY WITH ALL OF HER STRENGTH NAILS REX ACROSS HIS LOWER BACK WITH THE STEEL STEPS! McAllister drops on the mat as he’s clutching his lower back, and Bethany’s back on the attack!! She’s shifting Rex right around her own arms and off the mat, with the steel steps where they are!!!
Rich Russillo: JESUS! ‘GRADE C2’ ON THE STEEL STEPS!!! AIR RAID CRASH CAUSES REX TO HOLD THE BACK OF HIS NECK!!! HE REMAINS MOTIONLESS AS BETHANY MOVES HERSELF UP TO HER FEET—
James Peters: DONOVAN QUICKLY WRAPS HIS ARMS AROUND BETHANY’S FROM BEHIND AND HOISTS HER UP—‘PLACE YOUR BET’!!!! SWINGING REVERSE STO PLANTS BETHANY DOWN AS DONOVAN IS BACK IN THE MATCH!!! NEW MOMENTUM WITHIN DONOVAN AS HE’S GOT HIS EYES ON REX NOW!!
Rich Russillo: DONOVAN RUSHES TOWARD REX AS HE AIMS FOR A SPEAR—
James Peters: REX WITH A LEAPFROG!!! DONOVAN QUICKLY TURNS AROUND ONLY TO BE MET BY A PELE KICK FROM REX MCALLISTER!!! Donovan’s staggered!!!! Rex is working his way back up to his feet as he sees Donovan is staggered in the best position possible!!! REX RUSHES TOWARD DONOVAN WITH THE REX EFFECT!!!!
Rich Russillo: DONOVAN CATCHES REX!!! HE CATCHES REX—BEFORE NAILING AN OVERHEAD BELLY TO BELLY THAT SENDS REX OUT OF THE RING!!! WOW!!! DONOVAN IS ABLE TO TAKE REX OUT OF THE EQUATION AS HE SLUMPS DOWN IN EXHAUSTION, BUT HE’S STILL CONSCIOUS!! DONOVAN CRAWLS OVER TO THE ELECTRIFIED STEEL CHAIR, WITH NEWFOUND GROUND—
(BZZZZTTTTTTT!!!!)
Persephone: HOW THE HELL?!??
James Peters: ‘CONCUSSION PROTOCOL’ ONTO THE ELECTRIFIED STEEL CHAIR!!!! DR. BETHANY BLUE JUST STOMPED DONOVAN’S SKULL INTO THE CHAIR IN VIOLENT FASHION!!! DONOVAN’S SQUIRMING ABOUT IN AGONY!!! HE’S CLUTCHING ONTO HIS FACE ALL THE WHILE BETHANY IS THE LONE ELITIST AMONG THE CARNAGE THAT’S STILL MOBILE!
Rich Russillo: AND LOOK AT HER! SHE’S CLIMBING!!! Bethany is climbing the ladder, albeit not as fast as she would like to!!! But she’s climbing and climbing, this time there’s no one meeting her at the top!!! She cannot waste any more seconds here and needs to move as quickly as possible! AS SHE’S MAKING GOOD ON HER TASK, SHE’S AT THE TOP!!!!
James Peters: AND NOW SHE’S GOT HER HANDS OVER THE SCAFFOLD! SHE’S PULLING HERSELF UPWARD TO GET ON—
(# BZZZZZZZZZZTTTTTT!!!!!!!)
Persephone: HOLY SHIT! SHE GOT FUCKING FRIED!!!
Rich Russillo: THE SCAFFOLD WAS SUDDENLY SURROUNDED BY ELECTRICITY THAT SHOCKED THE EVER LIVING CRAP OUT OF BETHANY—AND THE DOCTOR DROPS DOWN ONTO THE MAT FROM ABOVE THE LADDER!!!! HOLY CRAP!!! WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED THERE, ALL BETHANY HAD TO DO WAS CLIMB ONTO THE SCAFFOLD FULLY!
James Peters: WAIT!!! LOOK!!!
(Where the steel steps once were, is Cameron Ella Ava.)
(As she was able to flip the hidden switch, with a glare over her face as her eyes are dead set on the contract above.)
Rich Russillo: THAT’S WHERE THE SWITCH WAS?!?!? BETHANY ESSENTIALLY GAVE AWAY THE SWITCH TO THE SAME WOMAN SHE THREW INTO THE STEEL STEPS!!! CAMERON TOOK ADVANTAGE BEFORE BETHANY COULD SITUATE HERSELF ONTO THE SCAFFOLD FULLY!!
James Peters: Now Cameron’s positioning the other electrified table right over the table that’s already been propped in place! The Hall of Famer’s got more devious ideas in motion here, as she sees Rex sliding into the ring with the little energy that he has! Cameron slides in herself, as Rex attempts to rush toward her with a LARIAT—BUT NO ONE’S HOME! CAMERON DUCKS AS REX TURNS BACK DIRECTLY INTO A HOOK KICK!!!!
Rich Russillo: FOLLOWED BY A SPINNING BACKHAND THAT KNOCKS REX MCALLISTER OUT COLD!!! REX IS OUT!! Now Cameron’s making her way up to the ladder, slower in her movements after what herself and the rest of the field has had to endure throughout this war! BUT SHE’S ABLE TO CLIMB ONTO THE SCAFFOLD MORE THAN WELL ENOUGH! CAMERON COULD BE MOMENTS AWAY FROM SECURING THE CONTRACT!!!
Persephone: DO YOU IDIOTS NOT HAVE PERIPHERAL VISION??? LOOK WHO IS ALSO CLIMBING THE LADDER!
James Peters: JACK RIPLEY’S BACK IN THE FOLD! AND ONE OF HIS BOOTS LOOK FAIRLY DIFFERENT! RIPLEY’S ABLE TO GET UP ONTO THE SCAFFOLD AS CAMERON ELLA AVA SPOTS HIM AT THE CORNER OF HER EYE!! AVA’S AIMING FOR A RIGHT—BUT JACK CONNECTS WITH A FOREARM!!! AND ANOTHER!!!! JACK & CAMERON ARE AT THE TOP OF THE SCAFFOLD!!! EITHER ONE OF THESE ELITISTS CAN WALK OUT OF HERE WITH THE CONTRACT!!!
Rich Russillo: JACK GOES FOR A FOREARM—CAMERON WITH THE HEEL KICK WHILE SHE HOLDS THE RAILING OF THE SCAFFOLD!!! THIS KNOCKS RIPLEY BACKWARD, HE STUMBLES BACK TO THE EDGE OF THE SCAFFOLD!!!! ONE MORE MANEUVER AND CAMERON’S GOT A CLEAR PATH TO THE CONTRACT!!!!! CAMERON ELLA AVA WITHOUT ANOTHER MOMENT WASTED… SUPERKICKS JACK RIPLEY OFF THE FREAKIN’ SCAFFOLD—
(# BOOM!!!!!!)
James Peters: EXPLODING ‘YOU’LL FLOAT TOO’??!???? JACK MUST’VE STRIPPED EXPLOSIVES FROM THE ENVIRONMENT AND PLASTED THEM BELOW HIS BOOT!!! CAMERON’S IN A STATE OF UNRECOGNIZABLE SHOCK AFTER THE SUPERKICK FROM RIPLEY—OH MY GOD!!!!
Persephone: SHE CAN’T EVEN MOVE! SHE’S BACKING UP INTO THE RAIL AND TRYING TO HOLD ON!!!
Rich Russillo: WHAT’S GOING ON?!?? I DON’T KNOW HOW THIS IS ALL POSSIBLE AS JACK SLUMPS DOWN ONTO THE SCAFFOLD IN EXHAUSTION! No sudden movements being made by Jack after putting all of his energy behind delivering the ‘You’ll Float Too!’ in the explosive ire that it’s brought upon!! The crafty thinking from Jack Ripley stops Cameron’s victory from becoming reality, and NOW THIS IS JACK’S OPPORTUNITY!!! HE PROCEEDS TO MAKE THE STRENUOUS STEPS TOWARD THE CONTRACT!!! WE COULD BE MOMENTS AWAY FROM OUR #1 CONTENDER BEING OFFICIAL!
James Peters: NO! LOOK! HOW THE HELL IS CAMERON DOING THIS!! SHE’S DESPERATELY HOLDING ONTO JACK RIPLEY’S FOOT, NOT ALLOWING HIM TO CONTINUE STEPPING FORWARD! JACK’S TURNING HIS HEAD TO CAMERON, SHAKING HIS HEAD AS HE’S DELIVERING BOOT AFTER BOOT ACROSS HER HEAD TO FREE HIMSELF! BUT CAMERON’S HOLDING ON!!
Rich Russillo: NOW CAMERON’S UP TO HER OWN FEET! BUT JACK DOESN’T WASTE ANOTHER SECOND LOOKING FOR ANOTHER ‘YOU’LL FLOAT TOO’—
James Peters: CAMERON DUCKS THE SUPERKICK THIS TIME AS JACK STUMBLES OVER IN EXHAUSTION!! CAMERON’S DESPERATELY STEPPING TOWARD THE CONTRACT AS JACK TURNS HIS HEAD AND RETURNS TO A STANCE!!! HE’S MOTIONING TOWARD HER AS CAMERON’S MOMENTS AWAY FROM SECURING HER TITLE SHOT!!!!
Persephone: SHE’S GONNA GET IT!!! JACK WON’T MAKE IT IN TIME!!!
(# BZZZZZZZZTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!)
Rich Russillo: HOLY SHIT!!! DONOVAN JUST ACTIVATED THE SWITCH AND SHOCKED THE CRAP OUT OF BOTH CAMERON & JACK!!!! AND NEITHER ELITISTS HAVE ANYTHING TO GRASP ONTO!!!!
James Peters: OH MY GOD!!! CAMERON AND JACK BOTH PLUMMET OFF THE SCAFFOLD AND INTO THE MAT!!! THEY BOTH CAVE INTO THE RING MAT!!!!! NOW DONOVAN’S EAGERLY SHIFTING BACK INTO THE RING!!!! HE’S MAKING THE DESPERATE CLIMB OF THE LADDER!!!
James Peters: DONOVAN’S CLIMBING ONTO THE SCAFFOLD… AND HE DOES!!!! HE’S ON THE SCAFFOLD!!!! DONOVAN’S WIDE-EYED AS HIS EYES DART TOWARD THE CONTRACT!! HE IS MOMENTS AWAY FROM FINALLY ACHIEVING HIS OPPORTUNITY FOR THE EAW WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP!!!! HE’S GONNA DO IT!!!!
(……..)
(# BZZZZZZZZTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!)
Rich Russillo: OH MY GOD!!!! DONOVAN DUKE’S JUST BEEN FRIED WHILE AT THE TOP OF THE SCAFFOLD!!! HE’S GOT HIS ARM AROUND THE RAILING TO KEEP HIMSELF FROM FALLING OFF, BUT HE’S UNABLE TO MOVE!!!! WHO THE HELL DID THAT?!?!??
(At the switch, as Donovan’s motionless, gazing downward upon who activated the shock from the scaffold…)
Persephone: Of fucking course she did.
(Dr. Bethany Blue is at the switch, with an ear-to-ear grin on her face as she’s holding onto something specifically while moving back into the ring.)
James Peters: DR. BETHANY BLUE IS BACK IN THIS MATCH!! After the hellacious fall that she took, she’s managed to get back in order and now she’s moving up the ladder!!!! Donovan is physically unable to move right now due to the immense shock that he felt, taking every bit of it as he remains atop the scaffold!!! Bethany is able to bring herself up onto the scaffold this time, and she didn’t go up empty-handed…
Rich Russillo: That’s… SHE’S GOT HANDCUFFS!!! SHE WANTS TO MAKE SURE DONOVAN DOES NOT GET IN THE WAY OF HER MOMENT HERE TO RETRIEVE THE CONTRACT! THIS MAY BE A SMART PLAY FROM THE DOCTOR HERE!! DONOVAN’S TRYING TO BRING HIMSELF TO FIGHT, AND HE MANAGES TO MOVE UP TO HIS FEET TO TAKE A SWING—
James Peters: GOOD GOD!!! BETHANY JUST PIERCED THE KEY OF THE HANDCUFFS INTO DONOVAN’S SKULL!! MORE BLOOD BEGINS TO POUR FROM HIS HEAD AS DONOVAN SLUMPS INTO A SEATED POSITION! NOW BETHANY’S HANDCUFFING DONOVAN ONTO THE RAIL OF THE SCAFFOLD!!! HE’S GOT NOWHERE TO GO, C’MON! HE’S UNABLE TO FIGHT BACK EVEN IF HE TRULY WANTED TO!!!
(Bethany maintains a smirk over her face, as she’s clutching the key in between her fingers in a fist while glaring down toward Donovan.)
Dr. Bethany Blue: (off-mic) Who… do YOU THINK… YOU ARE!!!!
Rich Russillo: BETHANY STABS THE KEY INTO HIS SKULL YET AGAIN!!!
Dr. Bethany Blue: (off-mic) YOU’RE NO WORLD CHAMPION… YOU’RE NO PAIN FOR PRIDE MAIN EVENTER… WHY CAN’T YOU STAY IN YOUR FUCKING LANE!
James Peters: AND ANOTHER STAB ONTO HIS SKULL!! THIS IS SICKENING!!!!
Dr. Bethany Blue: (off-mic) WHEN THE HELL WILL YOU LEARN! NOT EVERYONE GETS TO REACH THE TOP OF THAT DAMN MOUNTAIN THAT I RIGHTFULLY DESERVE!
(Bethany raises the key high once more while Donovan’s defenseless.)
Dr. Bethany Blue: (off-mic) NOT… EVEN… **YOU.**
Persephone: ONE MORE FOR GOOD MEASURE—
(Her hand is caught, as she glanced toward who caught her hand.)
Rich Russillo: HOLY CRAP! REX IS AT THE TOP AS WELL!!! SHE CAUGHT HER HAND BEFORE SHE COULD DELIVER ONE MORE STRIKE!!! BUT BETHANY PULLS AWAY AND AIMS TO STRIKE REX ACROSS HIS OWN SKULL WITH THE KEY!!!!
James Peters: REX DUCKS!!!! HE DUCKS THE STRIKE AS BETHANY TURNS RIGHT BACK AROUND—
Rich Russillo: ‘REX EFFECT’!!!!!!! REX EFFECT AT THE TOP OF THE SCAFFOLD!!! MCALLISTER HOLDS ONTO RAILING AFTER DELIVERING THE REX EFFECT!!! AND BETHANY’S FORCED TO ROLL AFTER TAKING THE REX EFFECT…
James Peters: SHE ROLLS RIGHT OFF THE SCAFFOLD!!! NOW IT’S JUST REX AND DONOVAN!!!!
(Rex is crouched, mustering up enough strength to push himself upward to a proper stance. He darts his eyes toward the contract.)
(But he then glances toward Donovan, still handcuffed to the rail, trying his absolute damndest to break himself free from the handcuffs as he’s shaking his head vigorously.)
Rich Russillo: DONOVAN IS DESPERATE! HE KNOWS THE CONTRACT IS RIGHT THERE!!!! BUT HE’S TRAPPED TO THE RAIL THANKS TO BETHANY!!! REX MCALLISTER HAS AN EASY PATH TO THE CONTRACT AND HIS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP REMATCH AT GRAND RAMPAGE!!!!
James Peters: DONOVAN’S FIGHTING AND FIGHTING, BUT IT’S NO USE! BREAKING FREE IS AN IMPOSSIBILITY. REX HAS THIS WON…
(Donovan eventually stops struggling, as he looks to the contract, every shred of his being trying so desperately to will himself through and retrieve the contract, securing his chance to finally be able to call himself World Champion…)
(But he looks downward in defeat.)
Persephone: Another sob story for Donovan Duke. Boohoo so sad. Now can we speed this up—
(Donovan, at the corner of his eye, notices something that leaves him wide-eyed.)
(Rex slid the key right to him.)
Rex McAllister: (off-mic) That’s not how this ends! I want you to be able to fight for this!! C’mon!!!
James Peters: REX IS GIVING DONOVAN A FAIR CHANCE TO FIGHT FOR THE CONTRACT!!!! BOTH MEN HAVE MADE IT THIS FAR, AND NOW MCALLISTER WANTS TO END THIS PROPERLY AGAINST DONOVAN! RESPECT WENT ABOVE THE PRIZE!!
Rich Russillo: BUT HOW?!?? HE COULD’VE PURSUED THE CONTRACT RIGHT THEN & THERE!
James Peters: DONOVAN’S STRUGGLES ARE WELL DOCUMENTED, RICH! THIS IS REX MCALLISTER SHOWING THAT HE UNDERSTANDS! HE’S BEEN SUFFERING SETBACKS TOO!! AND NOW BOTH MEN WILL BE ABLE TO SEE WHO TRULY WANTS THIS MORE!!!
Rich Russillo: DONOVAN SENDS A CHOP!!! REX SENDS A FOREARM!! BOTH ELITISTS FIGHTING IT OUT RIGHT HERE IN THIS ELECTRIFIED CLUSTERFUCK!!! NOW THEY’RE TOSSING TO RIGHTS TO ONE ANOTHER IN UNISON!!! NEITHER COMPETITOR STANDING DOWN!!!
James Peters: REX NAILS A STIFF FOREARM THAT KNOCKS DONOVAN BACK A BIT!!!! NOW MCALLISTER SEES HIS OPENING!!!! HE RUSHES TOWARD DONOVAN FOR ‘REX EFFECT—
Rich Russillo: ‘DEALER’S CHOICE’!!!! SPINNING BACK FIST ROCKS REX AS DONOVAN HOISTS REX UP OVER HIS SHOULDERS…. ‘DUKE OF HAZARD’!!!!!! REX IS DOWN!!!! HE WANTED TO GIVE DONOVAN THE FAIR FIGHT AND NOW DONOVAN’S GOT THE CONTRACT RIGHT IN HIS GAZE!!!! HE’S CRAWLING WITH EVERY FIBER OF HIS BEING!!!! HE’S GETTING CLOSER!!!!!
Persephone: HOLY SHIT HE’S ACTUALLY DONE IT!!!! HE’S GOING TO GRAND RAMPAGE!!!
James Peters: WHAT THE HELL?!?!?? HOW DID—
( # CRASHHHHHH!!!!!!)
Rich Russillo: BETHANY’S TOSSED DONOVAN OFF THE SCAFFOLD!!!! ONTO THE DOUBLE STACKED ELECTRIFIED TABLES!!!!! BETHANY MUST’VE HELD ONTO THE SCAFFOLD AFTER REX PUT HER DOWN!! BETHANY JUST SHATTERED DONOVAN’S HOPES & DREAMS!!!
James Peters: AND NOW…. BETHANY IS MAKING THE CRAWL. BEATEN, BATTERED, BUT STILL ABLE TO MOVE AS LITTLE AS SHE IS NOW… AND SHE’S DOING IT ALL AS THERE’S NO ONE ELSE IN HER WAY.
(Bethany finds the minimal energy to bring herself up, as she has a wide smile on her face, breathing heavily with the contract right before her… as she takes a hold of the contract…)
Rich Russillo: BETHANY HAS DONE IT!!
Persephone: DING! DING! DING!
James Peters: WAIT NO!!!! REX IS ALSO HOLDING ONTO THE CONTRACT!!!! THEY’VE BOTH GOT A HAND ON THE CONTRACT AS BETHANY IS LEFT WIDE-EYED!!! THE DOCTOR IS DESPERATELY SENDING FOREARMS TO REX, BUT REX IS RETURNING THE HEAT WITH FOREARMS OF HIS OWN!!!! THEY’VE BOTH GOT THE CONTRACT!!!!
Rich Russillo: THE DESPERATION ON BOTH OF THEIR FACES IS SHOWING IN FULL COLOR!!! THE BATTLE SCARS THEY HAVE DONNED AS THEY’RE TOSSING THE MOST DELIBERATE FOREARMS POSSIBLE!!! ONE OF THEM MUST GIVE WAY!!! WE’RE GONNA HAVE A #1 CONTEND—
(# BZZZZZZZZTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!)
Rich Russillo: THEY’RE BOTH SHOCKED BY THE SCAFFOLD!!!!! DONOVAN ACTIVATED THE SWITCH!!!! HE’S STILL HOLDING ONTO HOPE!!!! USING ALL OF HIS ENERGY TO IGNITE THE SCAFFOLD AS REX AND BETHANY HAVE NOWHERE ELSE TO GO!!!!
James Peters: OH MY GOD!!!! THE CONTRACT’S IN THEIR HANDS… AS ONE OF THEM SLIPS THEIR GRASP AWAY FROM THE CONTRACT!!!! REX AND BETHANY PLUMMET DOWN!!!!
Rich Russillo: LOOK OUT!!!!!
(# CRASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Rich Russillo: THEY’VE BOTH JUST PLUMMETED ONTO OUR ANNOUNCE DESK!!! WHAT THE ACTUAL HELL!!!!
James Peters: THE TABLE EXPLODED UPON IMPACT!!!! EVERY SINGLE ELITIST IS DOWN…..
Rich Russillo: BUT THE CONTRACT IS NOT WHERE IT ONCE WAS!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Bella Braxton: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN… HERE IS YOUR WINNER….
(The scene pans on Bethany… and then on Rex….)
Bella Braxton: YOUR #1 CONTENDER FOR THE EAW WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP AT GRAND RAMPAGE….
(As it’s visibly seen, who holds the contract…)
(With Bethany’s distant gaze, one of sheer unbridled frustration.)
Bella Braxton: REXXXXXXX MCALLISTER!!!!!!!!
Persephone: I…. I….. I…..
Rich Russillo: REX DID IT!!!! REX HELD ONTO THE CONTRACT!!! HE’S GOING ON TO FACE THE EAW WORLD CHAMPION AT GRAND RAMPAGE!!!! I CAN’T BELIEVE IT!!! HE GETS ONE MORE SHOT!!!!
(Rex has the contract in his hand, as an expression of relief is plastered over his face. Bethany however, remains absolutely irate, in complete devastation of being unable to punch her ticket to a world championship match. Her eyes are widened immensely, in spite of her bloodied & bruised nature, shaking her head in utter disbelief. A shadow of disappointment casts itself over Donovan, who is feeling his own measure of dismay after being unable to secure this much needed title shot. Meanwhile, Jack & Cameron can be seen able to situate themselves away from the indentations of the mat; with Jack rolling his eyes at the result, & an annoyed expression from Cameron who is experiencing her own disappointment.)
James Peters: It was one of the most brutal and immense battles that I have seen in EAW, as I know there’s a great deal of sadness and disappointment among all of the competitors here who didn’t secure the contract—but at the end of the day, Rex McAllister was all heart & soul, and he showcased how much he earned another opportunity for the EAW World Championship, as he’s ready to right the wrongs from King of Elite. CONGRATULATIONS, TO REX MCALLISTER!!
(Bethany can be seen seated against the barricade, remaining absolutely furious as she shakes in a fit of rage, clutching her hands while ignoring the officials that are trying to check on her. Rex McAllister is able to slowly stand to his feet, breathing heavily with a smile on his face as a referee raises his hand high, with Rex holding the contract up in victory with the crowd right behind him, the scene fading from there.)
(A commercial is shown for Friday Night Dynasty’s exclusive Marquee Event: Operation: Doomsday, coming in just two weeks time.)
( https://i.ibb.co/yFPBYCX/Holly-Vs-Hikari.png )
Bella Braxton: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS AN ELECTRIC WEAPONS MATCH AND IT’S SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!
( ‘Sweet Dreams’ by Eurythmics (With Annie Lennox & Dave Stewart) plays to loud boos from the crowd as Harper Lee walks out in a referee outfit, wearing a delightful smile on her face as she makes her way down to the ring. )
Bella Braxton: PLEASE WELCOME! THE SPECIAL GUEST REFEREE OF THIS MATCH!… HARPER LEE!!!!!!
James Peters: The main reason Harper Lee has become part of this match is that she wants nothing but to witness Holly Arrow’s downfall. Despite not really satisfying anyone in the match, including Hikari Kanno, who stated she doesn’t want this at all, Hikari was trying to shake it off. However, in the end, it couldn’t be helped, and Harper Lee was able to insert herself into this match as the special guest referee.
Rich Russillo: But Harper did turn out to be right, isn’t she? She was officiating the match between Roberto De La Rosa and AJ Redding, indicating that Harper Lee might be playing it fair in this match still! Who knows, maybe Harper wasn’t too bad!
James Peters: We can’t really be certain about that, considering that Harper Lee solely joined this competition for Holly’s downfall. Last week, it was blatantly obvious it’s all tricks and games that Harper Lee was trying to deceive those to believe that she will do fair play. We may have to see how it goes, that’s how it is.
Persephone: Meh, you guys wasted your time on something that’s not really important. I want to see blood flying, who cares why she’s poking her nose into this business?
( Harper enters the ring, a smile on her face, ready to officiate the match. Then ‘Bad Romance’ by Lady Gaga plays, drawing a loud cheer from the crowd. Harper’s smile fades away into obvious disdain, replaced by a face filled with hatred and vengeance as soon as the song starts. Holly Arrow walks out and gazes upon Harper Lee while on the stage. Holly looks absolutely expressionless about this, shakes her head, and then heads to the ring. )
Bella Braxton: INTRODUCING FIRST!… FROM BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA!… WEIGHING IN AT 149 POUNDS!… THE SERAPH!!!!!!!… HOLLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!… ARROWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!
James Peters: Since Holly made her comeback, she’s been in dire straits. She’s been hungering for more, realizing there’s a massive unfinished business awaiting her. Ever since she returned, her sole focus has been to climb to the summit and claim the Universal Women’s championship. She yearned to make her mark here and bring the saga to a close all along.
Rich Russillo: That also hinges on how Holly navigates it through this match. Holly has been striving to make her mark and become the champion as well. The same could be said for her opponent. The winner might have to depend on whose dedication is greater and stronger to prove that they will walk out victorious and pave their way towards fighting for the Universal Woman Championship out of this Electric Weapons match.
Persephone: She should take another hiatus. We don’t welcome her at all. But anyway, someone is going to meet their maker tonight, so I hope it’s her!
( Holly enters the ring and pauses, gazing down at Harper. Harper quickly puts on a smile and waves at Holly with a bright attitude. Holly keeps her eyes on Harper for a moment while trying to brush her off. Holly then simply ignores her and refocuses on the match, glancing back to the stage as ‘Trepanation’ by Millennium Parade begins playing. Hikari Kanno slowly walks out and locks eyes with Holly. She gives a little nod before heading straight to the ring, ready for nothing but competition tonight. )
Bella Braxton: AND HER OPPONENT!… FROM OKINAWA, JAPAN!.. WEIGHING IN AT 121 POUNDS!… ‘THE DREAMING IDOL’ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!…. HIKARIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!….. KANNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: What a trade orchestrated by our beloved Commissioner, Captain Charisma! This season, Hikari has experienced numerous highs and lows during her tenure on Saturday Night Showdown. This year, Hikari is officially a member of Voltage once again, with her sights set on a clear goal: to become a champion, just like Holly has desired.
James Peters: Holly sure made a triumphant return at King of Elite, but that doesn’t really say anything for Hikari Kanno. Tonight, both will face off to determine themselves. Holly Arrow has been awaiting this match for so long as well. We are going to see how they will be doing tonight against themselves with Harper Lee in the middle of this competition.
Persephone: Ah come on! Just get into this already!
( DING DING DING! )
Rich Russillo: Here we go!
James Peters: AFTER THE LONG WEEK, HOLLY HAS BEEN WAITING FOR THIS, AND THERE’S NO ROOM FOR HESITATION! CHARGING STRAIGHT OUT OF THE CORNER, SHE SENDS HIKARI CRASHING INTO THE CORNER LIKE A RAGING BULL SEEING RED!
Persephone: YEAH FUCK HER UP! FUCK HER UP! FUCK HER UP! RAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Rich Russillo: SHOULDER THRUSTS GOING ON REPEAT! ANOTHER! AND ANOTHER! HOLLY ARROW IS NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO SLOWING DOWN HERE TONIGHT AGAINST HIKARI KANNO!
James Peters: Now tossing Hikari through the ropes and out of the ring, Holly follows suit. Harper Lee, now simply observing, leans back as the match unfolds. Holly grabs a steel chair from the ground and STRIKES HIKARI’S BACK, USING THE EQUALIZER SHE HAS IN HER HANDS!
Rich Russillo: HIKARI STAGGERS, AND LEANS AGAINST THE BARRICADE!
James Peters: HOLLY SHOWS NO MERCY, IMMEDIATELY PRESSING FORWARD AND THRUSTING THE STEEL CHAIR INTO HIKARI’S GUT! HER FRUSTRATION IS EVIDENT!
Rich Russillo: Hikari has been the one taking the damage so far. Now, Holly focuses her attention on Hikari once more. She places the steel chair on the apron and then carries Hikari on her shoulder, stacking her on top of the barricade. Stepping back, Holly snatches the chair once more, this time perching on the apron with Hikari still dangling from the top of the barricade! What could Holly be pulling out of her playbook this time????
James Peters: WHAT’S HOLLY THINKING?? WITH A STEEL CHAIR! A DIVING KNEE DROP OFF THE APRON! THE STEEL CHAIR COVERS HOLLY’S FRONT KNEE AS IT CRASHES ONTO THE BACK OF HIKARI’S HEAD, SENDING BOTH WOMEN TUMBLING ONTO THE UNFORGIVING CONCRETE GROUND!
Persephone: WOOHOOOOOOOOO! THIS IS SUPER FUN! DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE!
James Peters: That’s one hell of a way to put down the former Hardcore Champion, but tonight it’s Holly’s turn to bring the hardcore action against Hikari Kanno!
Rich Russillo: Holly rises to her feet and searches around for weapons once more, determined to maintain her momentum and prevent anything from falling into Hikari’s hands that could disrupt her plans!
Rich Russillo: While Hikari is still trying to recover from the previous onslaught, she seems to be secretly grabbing some weapons of her own. Meanwhile, Holly has already found one, much to the excitement of the pumped-up crowd!
Persephone: HOLY SHIT, IS THAT BARBED WIRE BASEBALL BAT???? 😍😍😍😍😍😍
James Peters: ANOTHER WEAPON COMES INTO PLAY, AND THIS ONE MIGHT TRULY LEAVE HIKARI LYING ON HER DEATHBED TONIGHT! HOLLY SCRAMBLES HER WAY OUT AND WALKS BACK TOWARDS HIKARI!
Rich Russillo: WAIT, LOOK, I THINK SHE’S GOT SOMETHING IN HER HAND! WHAT IS THAT???
( CRACK!!!!!!!! )
James Peters: GLASS FLIES AROUND AS HIKARI KANNO UTILIZES THE PLASMA BALL, SMASHING IT INTO HOLLY’S HEAD AND IMMEDIATELY FORCING HER TO DROP TO THE GROUND!
Persephone: YEAHHHHHHHH! BLEEEEEDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!! BLEEEEEDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!! BLEEEEEDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!! BLEEEEEDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!! THIS! IS! WHAT! I! GET! PAID! FOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Harper Lee: (Off-Mic) We had that? :comeagain:
Persephone: YES! ARE YOU FUCKING BLIND????
James Peters: Holly Arrow has just been taken down to the ground with the plasma ball cracking all around! Hikari is back on top once more, but now she’s the one sending Holly back inside.
Rich Russillo: We can see now that Holly has donned the crimson mask after the sudden plasma ball that nearly blew her head up! Hikari now appears to be looking to take a spin utilizing a weapon in the game this time!
James Peters: She’s now picking something up, and this one we’re pretty sure we are all familiar with, as it has been used before!
Rich Russillo: HIKARI WITH AN ELECTRIC FLY SWATTER IN HER HAND!
Persephone: YES! THIS IS PERFECT! KILL HER! KILL HER!
Rich Russillo: Hikari rolls back inside the ring, and she’s certainly cautious about Harper Lee as well, pointing her fly swatter at her and trying to keep her away first before turning back around to Holly, who has only just got her hand on the middle rope here.
Harper Lee: (Off-Mic) :raised_hand: :sweat_smile: :raised_back_of_hand: I’m not your opponent!
James Peters: WHAT COULD HIKARI REALLY BE THINKING RIGHT NOW THAT SHE HAS THE ELECTRIC FLY SWATTER FLY SWATTER IN HER HAND? I DON’T THINK SHE’S REALLY GOING TO GO EASY WITH THE WEAPON HERE TONIGHT, KNOWING HIKARI KANNO!
Rich Russillo: HOLLY STILL TRIES TO GET UP AS SOON AS HIKARI USES HER RIGHT KNEE, PRESSING HER BACK AND FORCING HER TO LEAN TOWARDS THE ROPES. OH MY GOD, WHAT IS HIKARI DOING RIGHT NOW? PLEASE DON’T TELL ME!
( Hikari uses her right hand to seize Holly’s jaw as she begins prying her mouth open, aiming for the tongue. On the other hand, she has the electric fly swatter button ready to electrocute her opponent as Hikari brings the swatter closer to Holly’s tongue. )
Rich Russillo: AH! NO! STOP THIS!
Persephone: SHUT UP! MY FAVORITE PART IS RIGHT HERE!
( SHOCK! )
Rich Russillo: OH MY GOD!
James Peters: :damn: !!!!!! HIKARI HAS GONE TOO FAR THIS TIME! SHE STUCK HOLLY’S TONGUE INTO THE ELECTRIC FLY SWATTER, CAUSING HOLLY TO SEIZE ON THE GROUND WHILE TRYING TO HOLD HER TONGUE BACK!
Crowd: HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!
Rich Russillo: HIKARI IS A MANIAC! BOTH WOMEN MIGHT BE COMPETING, BUT THIS EXCEEDS ANYTHING WE’VE SEEN BEFORE WITH THE ELECTRIC FLY SWATTER! HIKARI HAS CROSSED A LINE AND TAKEN US ALL BY SURPRISE!!!!!!!!
Persephone: THIS IS MY SHIT! THIS IS WHY I’M HERE! MHWHWHAHAHMSWMWMWWMWHWHHWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
( Hikari turns towards Harper after shocking Holly, clearly still not amused with her being the referee for this match.)
Harper Lee: (Off-Mic) What? Go kill Holly. Don’t worry about me! I’m fine! Stop looking at me! GO!
Persephone: She should kill her too.
James Peters: Holly is now rolling on the ground outside, visibly paralyzed from the shock that went through her tongue. Hikari pulls her back to her feet, still holding the fly swatter. As Hikari yanks Holly by her hair, it seems like she’s considering another way to make Holly pay even more. What could be going through Hikari’s mind right now?
Persephone: PULL OUT A FUCKING CHAINSAW AND TEAR HER ABDOMEN OUT!!!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: That might not seem like one of the tricks up Hikari’s sleeves at the moment. Hikari now positions Holly by the commentary… SLAMMING HOLLY’S FACE RIGHT BACK ONTO THE TOP SURFACE, LEAVING HER STUMBLING BACK ONTO THE GROUND JUST LIKE THAT!
James Peters: GUYS, I THINK WE SHOULD MOVE OUT RIGHT NOW! HIKARI IS CLEARING THE TABLE; SHE COULD BE THINKING OF USING THIS REAL SOON!
Persephone: YEAH I DON’T CARE! IT’S FOR THE BEST! KILL EACH OTHER! YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: HOLLY HAS BEEN PICKED UP AGAIN BY HIKARI, AND SHE’S TRYING TO FIGHT BACK! THROWING HANDS TOWARDS HIKARI, WHO IS STILL TRYING TO FORCE HER DOWN AGAINST THE GROUND!
James Peters: HIKARI IS QUICK TO RESPOND WITH A KNEE STRAIGHT INTO HER GUT, AND SHE’S ALREADY LIFTING HOLLY OFF THE GROUND, LOOKING TO SEND HER DRIVING THROUGH THE TABLE WITH A RELEASE BUTTERFLY SUPLEX!
Rich Russillo: BUT HOLLY RISES AND LANDS ON HER FEET, SAVING HERSELF FROM THE MOVE! HOWEVER, HIKARI IS ALREADY LUNGING FORWARD, AIMING TO PUT HER DOWN RIGHT AWAY!… AND HOLLY ROUNDHOUSE KICKS HIKARI’S HEAD OFF!
James Peters: A KICK THAT ALMOST SENDS HIKARI ACROSS THE TABLE, FULL OF IMPACT! HIKARI HOLDS HER BACK AND LEVERAGES OFF THE TABLE TO LAUNCH HERSELF BACK TOWARDS HOLLY! IT’S NO USE; HOLLY TURNS HIKARI INSIDE OUT AS SOON AS SHE GETS BACK UP, WITH A RUNNING LARIAT SENDING HER CRASHING BACK TO THE GROUND!
Rich Russillo: HOLLY NOW PICKING HIKARI RIGHT UP OFF THE GROUND AS SOON AS SHE GOT HER HANDS ON HER ONCE MORE AND SETTING HIKARI WHILE STANDING RIGHT BESIDE THE TABLE. OH NO! WHAT IS SHE THINKING RIGHT NOW??? IS HOLLY TRYING TO TOSS HIKARI OVER THE COMMENTARY TABLE??
Harper Lee: (Off-Mic) HEY! HEY! HEY! HEY!
( Holly is just about to send Hikari flying over, but she looks up to Harper Lee, who is yelling at her. Holly is obviously frustrated by this, but Harper seems to urgently need something. However, once Holly actually turns her attention to her, her tone changes. )
Harper Lee: (Off-Mic) Uh… Actually I forgot, nevermind.
Holly Arrow: (Off-Mic) Huh-
Rich Russillo: HIKARI SEIZES THIS OPPORTUNITY TO GRAB HOLLY UNDER THE SHOULDERS AND LIFT HER UP IN THE AIR!… SAITO SUPLEX DRIVES HOLLY THROUGH THE TABLE!!!!!!!!!
Persephone: MOREEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
James Peters: WHAT A POWERFUL DISPLAY OF STRENGTH THAT HAS JUST BEEN PUT FORTH FOR THE WORLD TO WATCH RIGHT HERE BY HIKARI KANNO, PUTTING DOWN HOLLY ARROW THROUGH THE TABLE JUST LIKE THAT! THIS HAS BEEN ONE HELL OF A MATCH SO FAR, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, BUT LOOK NO FURTHER. IT’S SOON GOING TO CONTINUE WITH HIKARI KANNO SLOWLY GETTING BACK TO HER FEET!
Rich Russillo: HOLLY ARROW IS STILL DOWN ON THE GROUND, AND SHE COULD BARELY MOVE AFTER THE SAITO SUPLEX SENT HER CRASHING THROUGH THE COMMENTARY TABLE!
James Peters: THINGS ARE FALLING APART ALREADY, AND IT HASN’T EVEN BEEN HALF OF THE MATCH YET! I HAD NO CLUE WHAT TO EXPECT FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE MATCH AT THIS JUNCTURE! BOTH ARE GOING TO PUSH BEYOND THEIR LIMITS!
Persephone: We have to see some more blood splattering tonight because I haven’t felt satisfied watching them go at it just yet. Come on, knives? Barbed wires? WE NEED MORE THAN THIS!!!!!!!!!!!
James Peters: Hikari just got back to her feet and slowly reached for the weapon while Holly was still on the ground this time. Holly is going to take a longer time to recover from now on, and as much as the crash just sent her through the table really hard like that, it’s going to give her extended time to get back on her feet anytime soon
Rich Russillo: Hikari, still, has to make sure that Holly is out for good, no matter what Harper Lee’s plan is going to look like coming into this match. Even solidly, Harper is more worried about how she will deal with Holly Arrow in this competition.
James Peters: Both Hikari and Holly share the aspiration of becoming the champion, each fueled by a burning desire to claim victory and reaffirm their status.
Rich Russillo: The outcome of this competition hinges on who will win tonight, a judgment influenced by their sheer willpower and dedication to the contest, as well as the decision of Harper Lee.
James Peters: Hikari, holding the weapon once more, has made an interesting choice this time. I’m not sure how to explain or justify it…. Is that a neon sign?
( The crowd hypes as Hikari picks up her new weapon, raising it high. What we see here is the huge neon sign with “感の光,” Hikari Kanno’s name written in Kanji, appears to have been torn from its permanent fixture on a wall, judging by the orientation of the characters and the fact that the base also has four thick, crooked bolts. )
Persephone: OH FUCK YEAH! SMASH HER FUCKING HEAD WITH THAT!
James Peters: Holly Arrow has only just gotten back to her feet with Hikari putting the weapon down by the apron now, heading back to Holly before sending her back inside the ring. But I don’t think she knows; Holly seems like she has something in her hand at the moment!
Rich Russillo: HIKARI ALREADY RETRIEVING HER MASSIVE WEAPON BACK INSIDE, THE EQUALIZER NOW FIRMLY IN HER GRASP AS SHE RETURNS TO THE RING. SHE AIMS TO SMASH HOLLY’S HEAD WITH IT, RAISING IT UP HIGH, AND SHE’S GOING FOR IT!
James Peters: :roman:
Persephone: YESSIRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: HOLLY, WITH THE GLASS SHARD FROM THE BROKEN PLASMA BALL, JUST STABBED HIKARI’S SHINBONE WITH IT, CAUSING HER TO COLLAPSE TO THE GROUND RIGHT BEFORE SHE COULD SWING THE REINFORCED NEON SIGN, SMASHING HOLLY’S HEAD WITH IT!
Persephone: STABBING!!!!!!!!! YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! REAL GRAPS HERE, PAL!
James Peters: HOLLY QUICKLY BACKS OFF FROM HER FEET EVEN THOUGH SHE’S IN SLOW PACE DUE TO INJURIES AND PAIN, PICKING THE REINFORCE NEON SIGN BACK INSIDE AND AIMING FOR HIKARI’S HEAD!
( CRANK! )
Rich Russillo: GLASSES FLYING EVERYWHERE AGAIN AS THE REINFORCED NEON SIGN JUST BREAKS AS SOON AS IT COLLIDES WITH HIKARI’S HEAD, SENDING THE REINFORCED NEON SIGN THROUGH HER HEAD!
James Peters: HOLLY HAS JUST SMASHED HIKARI’S HEAD WITH IT AND NOW BACKS AWAY DOWN TO THE CORNER!…. A RUNNING KNEE STRIKE TO HIKARI KANNO AS WELL! HOLLY KICKS THE SHATTERED NEON SIGN WEAPON AWAY AND NOW QUICKLY HOPS DOWN FOR A COVER! HARPER LEE NOW STARTS TO MAKE THE COUNT!
Harper Lee: (Off-Mic) ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Harper Lee: (Off-Mic) TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
James Peters: HIKARI KANNO KICKS OUT!!!!! This match isn’t over yet, but I have to admit, Harper looked pretty happy that Holly didn’t win the match there. It wasn’t a slow count, but you can tell that she wants Holly to lose here more than anything else.
Rich Russillo: Hikari Kanno rolls out of the ring, but Holly Arrow just shakes her head before following behind. Holly can’t be happy about everything that’s going on, but to her credit, she’s working well despite the circumstances.
James Peters: That’s right. Holly now dragging Hikari up, AND SHE DELIVERS A KNEE TO THE MIDSECTION! Holly is focused on only her opponent right now, and that’s exactly how it should be!
Rich Russillo: THAT’S RIGHT, AND NOW HOLLY PULLS HIKARI KANNO TO HER FEET AGAIN BEFORE DRIVING HER STRAIGHT INTO THE BARRICADE, CRASHING AND BURNING!
James Peters: HOLLY PULLS HIKARI OUT OF HER ZONE AGAIN AND LOOKS TO CONTINUE THE PUNISHMENT, THIS TIME DROPPING HER TO THE GROUND AND SEIZING BOTH LEGS… CATAPULTS HIKARI FACE FIRST INTO THE RING POST!
Rich Russillo: That’s a really nasty crash for Hikari Kanno; she could be seen dropping to the ground with her whole body clinging to the ring post this time! Holly has to continue the process now and slowly rise from the ground, taking Hikari with her and sending her back inside. Holly isn’t about to fall solo. She’s currently scouring for weaponry, contemplating one that could offer a substantial edge entering the match.
Persephone: YES! THIS IS WHAT I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR! MORE IS FOR THE BEST!
James Peters: HOLLY IS GOING TOO FAR WITH THE WEAPONS OF HER CHOICE RIGHT NOW. SHE HAS TOO MUCH IN HER HANDS HERE, AND SHE’S JUST TAKING EVERYTHING OUT AND THROWING THEM ALL INTO THE RING! LADDER, STEEL CHAIR, ELECTRIC BARBED WIRE TABLE, GLASS PANELS!
Persephone: We need more matches like this. I’m tired of headlocks and rest holds. :mjcry:
Rich Russillo: WHAT’S GOING THROUGH HOLLY’S MIND WITH ALL THESE VARIOUS CHOICES OF WEAPONS??? HOLLY IS NOW SLINKING INTO THE RING ONCE THE WEAPONS ARE ALL IN THERE, HIKARI ONLY JUST GETTING HER SENSES BACK BUT HOLLY ALREADY BLANKED ON THE EQUALIZER IN HER HAND AGAIN…
James Peters: A CHAIR SHOT TO HIKARI’S HEAD!
Rich Russillo: WOAH HOLD ON!
James Peters: HIKARI HAS JUST MANAGED TO CATCH THE STEEL CHAIR! HOLLY TRIES TO PRESS THE CHAIR INSTEAD BUT IT’S NOT WORKING! HIKARI PUSHES THE CHAIR AWAY AND IT SLIPS FROM HOLLY’S GRASP! HOLLY STUMBLES TO REGROUP, HOLDING BACK AND TURNING AROUND BEFORE CHARGING TOWARDS HIKARI…
Rich Russillo: NO NO NO NO NO NO!
Persephone: YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!
James Peters: HIKARI NABBED HER DEAD CENTER AND RIGHT IN THE CLUTCH, AT THE HEART OF THE RING, AND SHE PIVOTS BACK AROUND TO THE INTENDED PATH…. DOUBLE UNDERHOOK GERMAN SUPLEX THROUGH THE PILES OF GLASS PANELS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Persephone: YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHH GTE$BHGOE$IN{GI)$HGI{O$H{G$HG#I(GHB*{(EU:OE$HGI{OEBUGIUPOEBGLEG$BI{OEBGFEIOBGIUPEHI:O#EBHIPO#BNFGIUO#WHFPOK
James Peters: GLASSES FLYING AROUND AGAIN AS HOLLY ARROW HAS JUST BEEN THROWN THROUGH THE PILES OF GLASS!
Rich Russillo: OH MY GOD, HOW IS HOLLY ARROW GOING TO PROCEED FROM HERE TO THE POINT OF THE ENCOUNTER AT THIS JUNCTURE? SHE MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO CONTINUE AT THIS POINT!
Harper Lee: (Off-Mic) :notbad:
James Peters: HIKARI ABLE TO INFLICT SUBSTANTIAL HARM ON HOLLY YET AGAIN, RISING TO HER FEET DESPITE THE GLASSES BURROWING INTO HER BACK, ATTEMPTING NOW AND RETREATING INTO THE CORNER. HOLLY STILL STUNNED AND ACHING FROM THE PAIN, HIKARI FORCES HER OUT OF THE CORNER!…
( As Hikari was contemplating her next move, she halted in her tracks, struck by a stroke of inspiration when she inadvertently stumbled upon the steel chair beneath her feet while towering at the corner. Hikari conceives a superior plan, seizing the steel chair before striding back toward Holly Arrow…. )
James Peters: Uh oh. It looks like there’s been a change of plans here as Hikari picks up that electric steel chair that Holly intended to use earlier! Holly is already in bad condition, and I think Hikari is about to make it significantly worse!
Rich Russillo: THRUST KICK TO HOLLY WHILE THE STEEL CHAIR IS STILL LOCKED TIGHT WITH HER HEAD! THE STEEL CHAIR FLIES OFF HER HEAD AS SOON AS THE KICK CONNECTS! HIKARI DROPS INTO A COVER! HARPER MAKES THE COUNT!
Harper Lee: (Off-Mic) ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Harper Lee: (Off-Mic) TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Harper Lee: Kick out :francis:.
James Peters: KICK OUT BY HOLLY ARROW!
Persephone: I hate this mfer so much.
Rich Russillo: You might not be able to blame Harper on that, I think that’s the average speed for the count here. Harper said she’d be an impartial referee, and while I don’t completely think that’s true, she’s at least counting fairly. HIKARI NOW TAKES MATTERS INTO HER OWN HANDS ONCE AGAIN AND TURNS BACK AROUND, BEGINNING TO SET UP THE ELECTRIC BARBED WIRE TABLE THIS TIME!
James Peters: HOLLY ARROW ONLY JUST GOTTEN BACK TO HER KNEES, HIKARI PUTS HERSELF IN CHARGE ONCE AGAIN AND SEIZES HOLLY BY THE HEAD… KNOCKS HOLLY OUT COLD WITH A CHARGED KNEE STRIKE!
Rich Russillo: HOLLY HAS BEEN SENT BACK TO THE GROUND THIS TIME! HIKARI HOISTS HER RIGHT BACK UP FROM THE GROUND AND NOW SENDS HER ONTO THE TOP ROPE, A HARD SMACK ACROSS HER FACE NEARLY TAKING THE SOUL OUT OF HOLLY ARROW!
Persephone: SMACK THE SHIT OUT OF HER!
James Peters: HOLLY IS TEETERING ON THE EDGE! HIKARI MAKES THE CLINCH AND THE TABLE HAS BEEN SET BEHIND THERE! HIKARI IS TRYING TO SEND HOLLY OFF THERE TOO WITH THE SUPERPLEX GOING TO SEND BOTH WOMEN CRASHING INTO THEM!
Rich Russillo: HOLLY IS TRYING TO PUSH BACK AGAINST THE POWER, STRUGGLING TO WRIGGLE HER WAY OUT, BUT HIKARI THERE, DELIVERING MORE BLOWS ON HER BACK, AND HIKARI SETTING HER UP AGAIN! HOLLY HAS BEEN LIFTED ONCE MORE…AND HIKARI NOW LOOKING FOR THE SUPERPLEX, GOING TO SEND BOTH OF THEM CRASHING DOWN THROUGH THE ELECTRIC BARBED WIRE TABLE!
James Peters: WAIT, HIKARI COULDN’T PULL HER OFF, BUT HOLLY IS STILL ABLE TO RESIST ONCE AGAIN WITH HER LEGS WRAPPING AROUND THE ROPE! HIKARI COULDN’T CAPITALIZE ON THAT. HOLLY IS NOW SEIZING THE OPPORTUNITY TO PULL HERSELF OFF AND UNLEASHING PUNCHES AND JABS TO THE GUT!
Persephone: YES! COME ON! FALL ALREADY!
Rich Russillo: HIKARI IS NEARLY STUMBLING OFF THE ROPE! HIKARI IS CLINGING ON FOR DEAR LIFE AS IS THE CROWD, WAITING TO SEE HOW THIS WILL PLAY OUT! HOLLY SWIFTLY SNARES HER IN! OH NO, YOU’VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!!!!!
( ZAP!!!!!! )
Rich Russillo: :damn:
Persephone: :blessed:
James Peters: AVALANCHE SWINGING NECKBREAKER BY HOLLY SENDS BOTH WOMEN THROUGH THE ELECTRIC BARBED WIRE TABLE!!!!!!! HOLY MOLY!!!!!!!
Harper Lee: :lupe:
( Both women have been sent crashing through the electrifying barbed wire table, leaving Harper Lee totally shocked by what has just happened. She’s also confused. Both women are down, but neither has the upper hand. Essentially, they’re both grounded in different locations, far from having any control over each other. Harper shakes her head, unsure of what to do right now, starting the count while the crowd goes absolutely wild with the match. )
Crowd: THIS IS AWESOME! :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: THIS IS AWESOME! :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: THIS IS AWESOME! :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: THIS IS AWESOME! :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: THIS IS AWESOME! :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:
James Peters: THE DREAMING IDOL MIGHT WITNESS HER DREAM SHATTERING BEFORE HER VERY EYES, BUT IT’S ALL THE SAME FOR THE SERAPH, WHO IS EDGING CLOSER TO VICTORY TONIGHT!
Rich Russillo: HARPER HAS ALREADY INITIATED THE COUNT, AND NEITHER WOMAN SHOWS ANY SIGN OF MOVEMENT! COULD THIS TRULY CULMINATE IN A DRAW FOR BOTH OF THEM???
Harper Lee: (Off-Mic) ONE!… TWO!….THREE!…. FOUR!….
James Peters: HIKARI HAS ONLY MANAGED TO REACH THE LADDER THAT HOLLY PLACED BACK INSIDE NEAR THE CORNER. HOLLY IS GETTING TO HER FEET ON HER OWN, USING THE MIDDLE ROPE TO PULL HERSELF BACK SLOWLY! HARPER NOW STARTS STOPPING THE COUNT!
Rich Russillo: THE MATCH CAN RESUME ONCE MORE! HIKARI NOW HAS HER SENSES BACK, BUT IT’S TOO LATE, WITH HOLLY BARRELING TOWARDS HER AND ATTEMPTING TO BRING HIKARI DOWN TO THE LADDER!
James Peters: HIKARI ROLLS WITH HOLLY’S MOMENTUM, INCORPORATING HER HEAD INTO THE LADDER AS HOLLY TRIES TO TAKE HER DOWN WITH THE RUNNING MOVE! HOLLY COLLIDES WITH THE LADDER, AND HIKARI HAULS HER TO THE CENTER OF THE RING!… KANNO SUPER BUSTER PLANTS HOLLY! A COVER! HARPER COUNTS!
Harper Lee: (Off-Mic) ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Harper Lee: (Off-Mic) TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Harper Lee: (Off-Mic) TTTTHHHHRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Harper Lee: (Off-Mic) KICK OUT!!! 😞😔
Rich Russillo: AND HOLLY IS STILL ABLE TO KICK OUT!
( Hikari slowly glances up at Harper with an irritated expression on her face after Holly is kicked out. )
Hikari Kanno: (Off-Mic) Stop playing around.
Harper Lee: (Off-Mic) :whoa: Just doing my job!
James Peters: Hikari is still a long way from bringing Holly Arrow down. Holly has weathered a lot of pain. Hikari knows she’s not a walk in the park in any match, especially this one, and she has to deal as much damage as possible to reach the conclusion sooner!
Rich Russillo: Hikari now rolls outside again, scouring the ground for scattered weapons, and it looks like she hit the jackpot!
( A loud roar of cheers echoes as Hikari picks up a ballistic shield equipped with an integrated flash grenade attachment. She slaps the shield’s base, nodding at the hard cam while sporting the crimson mask, before sliding the shield into the ring and following suit back inside. )
Persephone: OH! SHE’S GOING TO CUT HER HEAD OFF WITH THAT!
James Peters: HOLLY HAS ONLY MUSTERED TO GET BACK TO HER KNEES! HIKARI KANNO PRESSES FORWARD, TRYING TO SLAM DOWN THE BOTTOM EDGE OF THE SHIELD ONTO HOLLY!
Rich Russillo: HOLLY SWIFTLY DUCKS UNDER HIKARI’S LEGS AND ROLLS BACK TO HER FEET FROM BEHIND, GRABBING HIKARI FROM THE REAR AS THE SHIELD SLIPS OFF HER ARSENAL!… DRAGON SUPLEX TAKES HIKARI OUT!
James Peters: HOLLY NOW SWIFTLY PULLS HERSELF BACK IN A JIFFY, RUSHING TO RECLAIM THE SHIELD, ENSURING IT’S SET UP CORRECTLY THIS TIME! HIKARI HOLDS HER HEAD IN RESERVE, ATTEMPTING A COMEBACK, WHILE HOLLY ALREADY HAS IT LINED UP!…
Rich Russillo: GUYS! GUYS! CLOSE YOUR EYES!
Persephone: WHAT? I WANT TO WATCH THE MATCH!
Rich Russillo: JUST SHUT UP AND DO IT!
Harper Lee: (Off-Mic) Wait, what are you doing? HEY-
( FLASH!!!!!!!!!! )
Persephone: :krabs~2:
James Peters: HOLY SHIT! HOLLY HAS JUST UNLEASHED THE HEAVY FLASH FROM A BALLISTIC SHIELD, BLINDING HIKARI’S VISION TO COMPLETE DARKNESS! THE FLASH GRENADE FROM THE SHIELD HAS BEEN UTILIZED!
Rich Russillo: HOLLY MAKES A RUN WITH THE SHIELD HELD UP HIGH!… ADVANCING AND TACKLING HIKARI BACK TO THE GROUND WITH A BALLISTIC SHIELD! HIKARI IMMEDIATELY DROPS TO THE GROUND, AND THIS LOOKS LIKE IT MIGHT JUST BE HOLLY’S BEST CHANCE AT WINNING THIS MATCH!
(Holly is barely able to stand at this point, and Harper just looks on in disgust. As Holly slowly pulls Hikari up, she turns towards Harper.)
Harper Lee: (Off-Mic) Don’t try anything! I’ll disqualify you if you touch me.
Holly Arrow: (Off-Mic) Enough with the games. As soon as I’m done with her, you’re next. Don’t think I forgot about what I did earlier, either.
Harper Lee: (Off-Mic) I don’t know what you mean. I just forgot what I wanted to say, that’s all.
(Holly just shakes her head and turns away, but Harper continues to stare at Holly in anger as Holly focuses on the match.)
James Peters: HOLLY ARROW NOW GOING FOR THE-
Rich Russillo: NO! HIKARI KANNO WITH AN UPPERCUT, BEFORE DELIVERING A THRUST KICK TO FORCE HOLLY AWAY FROM HER! HIKARI MANAGES TO CREATE SOME SPACE BETWEEN THESE TWO, AND THANKS TO THAT, SHE JUST SAVED HERSELF FROM WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN THE END OF THIS MATCH! Holly isn’t down though, AND SHE RUSHES TOWARDS HIKARI BEFORE-
James Peters: WAIT! WAIT! LOOK! HIKARI MANAGED TO GRAB SOMETHING FROM RINGSIDE BEFORE HOLLY COULD GET TO HER, AND WHATEVER IT IS, IT LOOKS DANGEROUS! IT RESEMBLES IRON, BUT IT’S NOT! HOLLY! WATCH OUT HOLLY!
( SHOCK!!!!!!!! )
Persephone: :ciampa:
Rich Russillo: :lupe: !!!!!!
James Peters: HIKARI WIELDS A DEFIBRILLATOR AND DEFIBRILLATES HOLLY ARROW’S WIDE AWAKE HEART! HOLLY IS IMMEDIATELY BLASTED AWAY AND SPRAWLED ON THE GROUND!
Rich Russillo: HIKARI WHO JUST NEUTRALIZED THE LAST OUNCE OF ENERGY, STUMBLING ABOUT TOO! HIKARI KANNO QUICKLY LIFTS HOLLY UP, AND NOW SHE GOES TO FINISH THIS MATCH UP FOR GOOD! ALLELUIA-
Persephone: WHAT DID THAT IDIOT JUST DO!?
James Peters: HARPER JUST TRIED TO ATTACK HOLLY BEFORE HIKARI COULD DROP HER WITH THE FINISHER, BUT HOLLY GOT OUT OF THE WAY, AND HIKARI ATE AN ELBOW FROM HARPER!!!!! HARPER CAN’T BELIEVE IT, AND NOW HOLLY SHOVES HER OUT OF THE WAY BEFORE GOING AFTER HIKARI!!!!
Rich Russillo: GALAXY IMPACT!!!!!!! GALAXY IMPACT CONNECTS ON HIKARI KANNO!!!!! THESE TWO WOMEN TOOK EVERYTHING OUT OF EACH OTHER, BUT HOLLY WAS ABLE TO CATCH HIKARI OFF GUARD WITH THE FINISHING MOVE AFTER HARPER SCREWED UP! HOLLY PULLS HERSELF ON TOP OF HIKARI, AND THAT’S IT! THIS ONE IS OVER!!!!!
(……..)
(……..)
(……..)
Holly Arrow: ?????
James Peters: You can’t be serious.
( While Holly Arrow did everything she could, including pinning Hikari Kanno directly after her finishing move, the bell would not ring. In fact, the count never even started. Holly turns towards the referee, and this is when she realizes exactly why the count hasn’t started. Harper Lee isn’t focused on pinfall taking place. Instead, she’s checking to make sure her shoes are tied. Seeing this causes the fans to immediately begin booing as loud as they possibly can, and Holly Arrow can’t believe it.)
James Peters: Oh come on now!
Rich Russillo: Well this isn’t good. Harper just started checking her shoes, completely ignoring that Holly is pinning Hikari!
Persephone: This fucking midget is more concerned about her socks than actually doing her job. Who let her be a referee? Does she even know how to count?
( After dealing with her shoes, Harper quickly got back on her feet and attempted to resume the count. However, Holly Arrow, already frustrated by Harper’s delay, approached her with a mix of anger and exasperation, knowing that Harper was intentionally trying to sabotage her. )
Holly Arrow: (Off-Mic) DO YOU THINK THIS IS A JOKE??? CAN YOU START TAKING THIS SERIOUSLY????
Harper Lee: (Off-Mic) Hey, it wasn’t my fault. Stop yelling at me and go focus on your match. Remember who I am? I’m your referee. I make the decisions around here, so go worry about your opponent.
Persephone: Shut your bitchass up.
( Holly thinks about what Harper just did, knowing that this was her best shot at winning the match. She knew she was at a disadvantage with Harper at the referee, but it doesn’t make it any less frustrating being in this situation. )
Holly Arrow: (Off-Mic) I’m going to kill you.
Harper Lee: (Off-Mic) I’m just a referee. :whoa2:
( Holly is still visibly annoyed, but she finally turns away from Harper. )
James Peters: NO!
Rich Russillo: HIKARI WAS JUST GIVEN ALL THAT TIME TO RECOVER, AND THANKS TO THIS SHE JUST GRABBED HOLLY BEFORE PLANTING HER WITH ALLELUIA!!!!!!
James Peters: HIKARI KANNO CONNECTS WITH ALLELUIA, AND SHE WASTES NO TIME GOING FOR THE COVER!!!!!!
Harper Lee: (Off-Mic) OOOOOOOOOONNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Harper Lee: (Off-Mic) TTTTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Harper Lee: (Off-Mic) TTTTHHHHHRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
( DING DING DING! )
Bella Braxton: Here is your winner…. HHHIIIIIIKKAAAAARRRRRIIIIII KKKAAAAANNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
(‘Trepanation’ hits, but fans aren’t happy. While they’re booing for the outcome of the match, it’s not because Hikari Kanno won, but because Harper Lee got involved. Hikari slowly pushes herself back to her feet, still hurt following that match, and Harper Lee wastes no time raising her hand with a huge smile on her face, clearly excited to declare her the winner of the match.)
Persephone: That was bloody. That’s good.
James Peters: Wow. That was a fantastic match by both women, but I hate that Harper Lee got herself involved in this. She said she’d be impartial, but that wasn’t true at all. She lied!
Rich Russillo: Harper Lee basically handed that win to Hikari, and that’s not what anyone wanted. Holly Arrow walked into this match at a disadvantage and still gave an amazing performance. Hikari didn’t want this advantage either, and with that aside she also did fantastic. Hikari is our winner, but th-
James Peters: WAIT A SECOND!!!!
Rich Russillo: HIKARI JUST PULLED HARPER IN, LIFTING HER UP BEFORE PLANTING HER WITH ALLELUIA!!!!
James Peters: HIKARI WARNED HARPER THAT IF SHE DIDN’T KEEP HER WORD ABOUT BEING IMPARTIAL, SHE’D BE THE ONE TAKING HER OUT! HARPER DIDN’T DO THAT, AND AS YOU CAN SEE, HIKARI WAS NOT JOKING!
Rich Russillo: Anyone would be unhappy about their victory having these circumstances attached to it, and Hikari clearly isn’t going to sit back and take that! Harper got what she wanted, but it looks like neither former member of POTARA can say they had a great night!
(The fans begin cheering now after Harper was taken out by Hikari. Hikari stands over Harper Lee, and she just grabs her before dumping her on top of Harper Lee. ‘Trepanation’ begins to play once again, and Hikari Kanno begins to leave the ring as the two former teammates are left laid out inside of the ring. As Hikari Kanno walks up the ramp, Shock Value begins to fade away from ringside.)
(A commercial is shown for United Airlines featuring Ronan Malosi as he works as a flight attendant.)
(Shock Value comes back as the next match graphic is seen flashing across the screen.)

(The camera then goes to Bella Braxton at the timekeeper’s area, as the ring is being set up for the Electrified Iron Man match.)
Bella Braxton: The following is a 30 MINITE ELECTRIFIED IRON MAN MATCH!!!
Crowd: KQNQPQNFO3NQPZNEPQMSPQMAPQNQOQNWOQNSPQNAOQNAOWNDLDN
(‘When Darkness Falls’ by Killswitch Engage is heard playing through the speakers of the arena to a mix of cheers and boos as the camera goes over to show Drake King making his way out to the stage. Bearing a serious expression, he eyes the ring before slowly making his way down the ramp.)
Bella Braxton: Introducing first… residing in The Dead Sea… weighing in at 220 pounds… HE IS ‘GOD’… DRAKE KING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: Drake King feels as though he is being disrespected by Captain Charisma for being put in this situation. From apparently not giving back his title, to nearly being thrown in the Clusterfuck match, to now this, it’s safe to say that he’s not happy.
Persephone: He needs to learn to grow up come the fuck on.
James Peters: Well now Drake looks to put an end to his opponent tonight, he looks to show that he serves no purpose in this current climate of Voltage and knowing the levels that he’s stooped to, in this situation he’s not afraid to do it.
(‘Kashmir’ by Led Zeppelin (Paratus Intro) begins to follow that as the crowd roars for Jamie O’Hara who makes his way out. He has a smirk on his face as he eyes the ring, specifically his opponent, before then making his way to the ring.)
Bella Braxton: And his opponent… weighing in at 190 pounds… HE IS THE ‘ACE’ OF ELITE ANSWERS WRESTLING… JAMIE O’HARA!!!!!!!!!!!!
Persephone: BOOOO! GET THIS PHONY OUT OF HERE! HE BEAT MY LUIS!
Rich Russillo: As for Jamie he was also going to be in the Clusterfuck match before he insisted on facing Drake in this situation. They have faced before, but never in this scenario.
James Peters: Jamie has called Drake a fool, and says that he is the mold of the Elitist that you see today, and how Drake is only chasing that. Tonight he will get the chance to prove that, and given the opportunity, he will. It’ll be a gur
(DING! DING! DING!)
Rich Russillo: The bell has rung and this Electrified Iron Man match is officially underway. 30 minutes is on the clock and both Drake King and Jamie O’Hara are staring a hole into one another. We didn’t really know the specifics of the match going into this, but is it safe to say that this exceeds expectations?
Persephone: The ropes and ringside floor are electrified and both of them have shock collars attached to a barbed wire leash. No, I think this is more kinky than anything else to the masochists watching the show right now.
James Peters: Both of them are slowly meeting at the center of the ring, trying to be careful now of what they touch knowing that it could be detrimental to them early. It looks like Jamie is going to go for a risky collar-and-elbow tie up- BUT DRAKE CONNECTS WITH A HARD BOOT TO THE ABDOMEN WHICH TAKES HIM DOWN TO A KNEE! Jamie is taken by surprise as Drake grabs him by the head, SLAMMING HIM DOWN ONTO THE MAT BY HIS HAIR!
Rich Russillo: The slight jolt of electricity definitely woke Jamie up, as he rolled right back up to a knee from there, not letting Drake continue any offense onto him. Drake though is quick to rush forward and grab him by the head as he begins to nail him with a barrage of forearm shots to his face! Jamie shoves him away for the time being, BEFORE SHOOTING UP TO HIS FEET AND LUNGING AT HIM FOR AN ATTACK-
Persephone: BUT DRAKE MOVES OUT OF THE WAY AND SENDS HIM INTO THE ELECTRIFIED ROPES INSTEAD! YES!
Rich Russillo: NOT! JAMIE STOPS HIMSELF JUST IN TIME! He plants his feet to the ground, BEFORE TURNING AROUND AND CONNECTING WITH A KNEE TO THE ABDOMEN OF DRAKE! Drake staggers back, definitely not expecting the quick turnaround by The Ace… AS JAMIE RUSHES FORWARD AND CONNECTS WITH A SLING BLADE TO TAKE HIM DOWN TO THE GROUND TO FOLLOW THAT UP!
James Peters: Remember that with every move that these Elitists take their shock collar goes off, and that was definitely not a pleasant feeling for Drake right there as he pries at the collar for a moment in pain. Jamie is stepping backward, slowly dragging Drake up along with him as the barbed wire leash pulls them together. Drake stumbles forward toward Jamie… AS JAMIE RUSHES TOWARD DRAKE LOOKING TO CONNECT WITH A SHOTGUN DROPKICK TO TAKE HIM BACK DOWN TO THE GROUND!
Rich Russillo: BUT DRAKE JUST MOVED OUT OF THE WAY AS HE DIGS HIS HANDS INTO THE BARBED WIRE LEASH AND YANKS HARD, JUTTING JAMIE BACK BY HIS SHOCK COLLAR AND TOWARD HIM! JAMIE GETS BACK UP TO HIS FEET…
James Peters: JUST FOR DRAKE TO GRAB HIM BY THE HEAD AND TAKE HIM DOWN TO THE GROUND WITH A STO! JAMIE IS DOWN AND DRAKE HOOKS THE LEG!
OOONNNEEE!!!
Persephone: But an unfortunate kick out before two, even though it would’ve been hilarious if Drake got a fall off of that!
Rich Russillo: The pain on the face of Jamie tells it all, the potential is endless in a match like this for how you want to inflict damage on your opponent, but you also need to keep track of the time and remind yourself how much you have before you get too caught up in it as well. Drake is slowly rising back up to his feet, and you can see him seize his bloody hand in pain, but realize at the same time it is crucial for him in order to get the edge in this match. Jamie slowly tries to roll himself away, but Drake already approaches as he grabs him by the head and brings him up to his feet, pulling him into a front facelock… AS HE LIFTS HIM UP INTO THE AIR FOR A VERTICAL SUPLEX-
James Peters: BUT JAMIE SLIPS OUT! We can only assume that was a Falcon Arrow attempt by Drake, AS DRAKE SPINS AROUND AND ATTEMPTS TO CONNECT WITH A FOREARM TO THE FACE OF JAMIE- But Jamie manages to duck under that, SPINNING AROUND AND CONNECTING WITH A SIDE KICK TO THE ABDOMEN! Drake doubles over in pain as this gives Jamie the opportunity to step back and get himself a running start, beginning to make his way over…
Rich Russillo: JUST FOR DRAKE TO GO UNDER AND LIFT HIM OFF THE GROUND, CONNECTING WITH A BACK BODY DROP! The pain has subsided momentarily as Jamie is dropped down to the canvas, another jolt of electricity running through him, as, from there, Drake then grabs him by the head and brings him up to his feet… BEFORE SLAMMING HIM FACE-FIRST AGAINST ONE OF THE TOP TURNBUCKLES! Jamie is hurt but you can see he is also well aware of the electrified ropes, trying to avoid them as Drake grabs him by the head- JUST FOR JAMIE TO SLIP OUT AND LIFT HIM INTO THE AIR BEFORE CONNECTING WITH SNAKE EYES AS DRAKE’S HEAD BOUNCES OFF OF THE TOP TURNBUCKLE!
(25:00)
James Peters: Drake is hurt as he stumbles out of the corner, before Jamie, from there, grabs him by the head and takes him down to the ground with a quick Snapmare! Drake is laid out on his back, AS JAMIE THEN LEAPS INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTS WITH A DOUBLE FOOT STOMP TO THE CHEST AREA! Drake is gasping for air as he brings himself up to a seated position, JUST FOR JAMIE TO ROLL BACK UP TO HIS FEET AND LEAP INTO THE AIR FOR A FRONT DROPKICK TO THE CHEST-
Rich Russillo: BUT DRAKE MOVES OUT OF THE WAY BEFORE TRYING TO GRAB A HOLD OF THE BARBED WIRE LEASH AGAIN AND USE THAT TO HIS ADVANTAGE!
James Peters: NO! JAMIE SNATCHES A HOLD OF HIS END OF THE LEASH BEFORE HE CAN AND YANKS HIM FORWARD… BEFORE TAKING HIM DOWN WITH A HUGE LARIAT TO THE HEAD! Drake is taken down to the mat but is seemingly quick to get back up, his hands still digging deep into the barbed wire leash…
Rich Russillo: AS JAMIE LIFTS DRAKE OVER HIS HEAD AND IT SEEMS LIKE HE’S GOING FOR ‘INTO THE DREAMSCAPE’!
James Peters: BUT BEFORE JAMIE CAN TURN IT INTO THE PILEDRIVER, DRAKE MANAGES TO FLIP OVER HIM AND LAND BEHIND HIM! Jamie turns around, not at all expecting the counter… AS DRAKE LEAPS INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTS WITH AN ENZUIGIRI TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD TO DROP HIM DOWN TO THE CANVAS!
Persephone: Yawn, this is boring. Do you know what would be more interesting to put on live television… if you strapped me and Luis to dog collars and-
Rich Russillo: THIS MATCH IS REALLY GETTING UNDERWAY NOW! Jamie is dropped down to the ground but it doesn’t take very long at all for him to begin to rise back up again, Drake has his eyes set on him as he’s in a kneeling position, stepping forward… AND GOING FOR A SUPERKICK TO HIS JAW! It connects but even then Jamie is still managing to keep himself upward, just for Drake to quickly grab him by the head and pull him up to his feet, LOOKING TO GO FOR A COLLAPSING DDT-
James Peters: BUT BEFORE HE CAN FULLY EXECUTE IT’S JAMIE THAT SLIPS OUT! He manages to create distance, BEFORE LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTING WITH A DROPKICK TO HIS KNEECAP! Drake is left hobbling right now as Jamie gets right back up to his feet, looking to get a running start…BUT DRAKE DIGS HIS HANDS INTO THE LEASH AND PULLS JAMIE BACK TOWARD HIM AGAIN! JAMIE TRIES TO SWING AT HIM-
Rich Russillo: BUT DRAKE MANAGES TO DUCK UNDER THAT BEFORE GRABBING HIM BY THE ARM INTO THE HALF NELSON, ‘CROWN OF THORNS’!
James Peters: BUT JAMIE SLIPS OUT BEFORE HE SHOVES DRAKE RIGHT INTO THE ELECTRIFIED ROPES!
Rich Russillo: DRAKE GIVES A PIERCING CRY AS HE’S ELECTROCUTED BY THE ROPES, GETTING CHARRED TO BITS BEFORE YANKING HIMSELF OFF! HE DROPS DOWN TO A KNEE, TRYING HIS BEST TO PUSH HIMSELF BACK UP-
James Peters: JUST FOR JAMIE TO LIFT HIM UP INTO A SECOND ATTEMPT AT ‘INTO THE DREAMSCAPE’! WHICH MANAGES TO CONNECT THIS TIME! DRAKE IS TAKEN DOWN AND JAMIE DOES NOT HESITATE TO ROLL HIM OVER AND GO FOR THE PIN! WILL HE BE ABLE TO CLOSE THIS OUT RIGHT HERE AND GET THE FIRST FALL IN THIS ELECTRIFIED IRON MAN MATCH?!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHH-
Persephone: But unfortunately, it’s Drake King that manages to kick out. I don’t know why I’m mad about it, it doesn’t change the fact that it’s an Iron Man match, I’m just mad.
Rich Russillo: You can see the breath of relief that Drake King just gave behind the pain and agony that he is certainly feeling right now thanks to that. Jamie was in a tough spot but somehow managed to turn it around in his favor and connect with ‘Into The Dreamscape’ which was enough to inch this match closer in his favor. Drake is quickly rolling himself away, and you can see how desperate he is to do so. But Jamie is right back up and he already has him by his hair as he tugs him back toward him. Jamie grabs him once more, AND IT LOOKS LIKE HE’S ABOUT TO SEND HIM BACK INTO THE ELECTRIFIED ROPES!
James Peters: BUT DRAKE MANAGES TO STOP HIMSELF! He connects with an elbow to the head of Jamie which sends him back, BEFORE SPINNING AROUND AND FOLLOWING THAT UP WITH A MASSIVE ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO THE HEAD!
(20:00)
Rich Russillo: As you can see we have reached the 10-minute mark in the match, 20 minutes left, and both of these competitors are really going at it!
Persephone: 20 more minutes of suffering, will this ever end?
James Peters: Jamie still manages to keep himself up, but it doesn’t seem like Drake is through either, AS HE GOES FOR A SUPERKICK TO HIS JAW- BUT JAMIE MANAGES TO CATCH IT JUST IN TIME! He from there sweeps the legs as Drake lands on his back, BEFORE JAMIE THEN LEAPS INTO THE AIR AND GOES FOR ANOTHER FOOT STOMP-
Rich Russillo: BUT DRAKE SEES IT COMING THIS TIME AND MANAGES TO ROLL OUT OF THE WAY! Jamie stumbles forward, AS DRAKE ROLLS TOWARD HIM AND GRABS HIM BY THE ANKLE BEFORE TAKING HIM DOWN TO THE GROUND! JAMIE IS TRYING TO FIGHT BACK BUT IT SEEMS LIKE DRAKE HAS A HOLD OF HIM, TRYING TO KEEP HIM ON HIS STOMACH AS HE LOOKS TO BE DOING SOMETHING…
James Peters: DRAKE TAKES THE BARBED WIRE LEASH AND WRAPS IT AROUND THE NECK OF JAMIE, JUST ABOVE THE SHOCK COLLAR! DRAKE IS PULLING BACK AND JAMIE IS SCREAMING IN AGONY RIGHT NOW! BLOOD IS BEGINNING TO DRIP DOWN ONTO THE CANVAS AS JAMIE REACHES OUT, TRYING TO DO ANYTHING IN ORDER TO GET OUT, BUT DRAKE HAS HIS KNEE PRESSED FIRMLY AGAINST THE CENTER OF HIS SPINE, HE’S REFUSING TO LET HIM GO ANYWHERE RIGHT NOW!
Persephone: See?! This that kinky shit bro.
Rich Russillo: JAMIE IS TRYING EVERYTHING THAT HE CAN RIGHT NOW IN ORDER TO ESCAPE THIS, BUT DRAKE IS WRENCHING BACK WITH EVERY BIT OF STRENGTH THAT HE HAS INSIDE OF HIS BODY! JAMIE IS STRUGGLING TO BREATHE AND THE BLOOD CONTINUES TO POUR OUT FROM HIS THROAT! IS DRAKE TRYING TO FORCE A SUBMISSION OUT OF THIS?!
James Peters: NO! NO! WAIT! HE WAS WAITING FOR THE PERFECT OPPORTUNITY! HE RELEASES THE HOLD AND GRABS A HOLD OF HIS WAIST BEFORE BRINGING HIM UP TO HIS FEET, HOOKING HIS ARM!
Rich Russillo: ‘CROWN OF THORNS’ CONNECTS THIS TIME COMPLETELY WIPING JAMIE OUT! JAMIE IS TWITCHING ON THE GROUND FROM HIS SHOCK COLLAR AND DRAKE ROLLS HIM ONTO HIS BACK! TO GET THE FIRST FALL IN THIS MATCH!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRRREE-
James Peters: BUT JAMIE MANAGES TO SHOOT HIS SHOULDER UP JUST IN THE NICK OF TIME! BARELY SAVING HIMSELF!
Persephone: FUCK.
Rich Russillo: Jamie was close, but somehow managed to escape that. But you can see that he’s not in good shape right now, and while Drake isn’t in the best condition either, he has the chance to continue picking him apart until he can ultimately get a fall in this Iron Man match. Remember that the clock is still counting down, there is still plenty of time left for the two of them but they know better than to get comfortable and let the time run out. If they’re going to act, they’re going to have to act quickly if they want to stay afloat.
James Peters: Drake doesn’t look so happy by this though, as he is stomping down at Jamie repeatedly, releasing the anger that he has we can only assume about the struggle that Jamie has put him through in this match! Jamie is trying to roll away, but Drake pulls him right back in, grabbing him by the head as he lands multiple strikes to his face! He then brings Jamie back up to his feet, and it looks like he’s going to send him into an Irish whip toward the ropes- But Jamie manages to hold his ground, AS HE PULLS DRAKE IN AND CONNECTS WITH A HARD KNEE TO THE ABDOMEN TO DOUBLE HIM OVER!
Rich Russillo: Drake is gasping for air but he’s still trying to fight, swinging a punch at the head of Jamie- But before it connects it’s Jamie that manages to move out of the way before connecting with yet another strike! Jamie would then grab him by the arm before sending him into one of the corners, setting him up… BEFORE RUSHING FORWARD AND CONNECTING WITH A RUNNING FOREARM SMASH TO HIS FACE!
James Peters: Drake is hurt as Jamie then grabs him and sends him toward the ring… RUSHING FORWARD AND FOLLOWING THAT UP WITH ANOTHER SLINGBLADE TO TAKE HIM DOWN TO THE MAT! Drake shoots up to a seated position, not exactly looking to give up on this just yet, BUT AS HE DOES IT’S JAMIE THAT MANAGES TO ROLL UP TO HIS FEET BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A DROPKICK TO THE SIDE OF HIS HEAD!
Rich Russillo: Drake is down and you can tell by the look on his face that this was absolutely not what he wanted out of this match. He knows that he needs to find a way to get back into this and fast before it becomes too little too late for him. Drake retreats away, trying to get back up to his feet, but Jamie is unrelenting as he yanks him back in with the barbed wire leash, the pain practically nonexistent knowing what is at stake right now in this one. Drake tries to fight back, BUT HE STUMBLES RIGHT INTO A BOOT TO THE FACE BY JAMIE!
James Peters: SCOUTED! WHILE JAMIE PULLS IN, IT’S DRAKE THAT MANAGES TO SPIN OUT OF THE WAY JUST IN TIME! Jamie tries to turn around, BUT IT’S DRAKE THAT LEAPS INTO THE AIR AND LATCHES ONTO HIS BACK FOR A SLEEPER HOLD!
(15:00)
Rich Russillo: We have officially reached the halfway point in this match, and what a compromising position that Drake has Jamie in right now! Jamie’s eyes widen as he realizes the situation that he’s in right now, fighting desperately to get out of this! Jamie is struggling to fight back now as Drake continues to pull back on his head! If he could possibly weaken Jamie here, this could be the opportunity to connect with a huge move that could drastically shift this match in his favor! But Jamie is still fighting, Jamie refuses to quit!
James Peters: BUT I DON’T THINK HE’S GOING TO HAVE A CHOICE AS LOOK WHAT DRAKE’S DOING! HE’S TAKING THE BARBED WIRE LEASH AND ONCE AGAIN LOOPING IT AROUND THE NECK OF JAMIE!
Rich Russillo: JAMIE DROPS DOWN TO A KNEELING POSITION AS HE GIVES A CRY OF PAIN! WAIT! WHAT IS DRAKE DOING?!
James Peters: HE’S GOING FOR ‘JUDGEMENT DAY’!
Rich Russillo: CURB STOMP MISSES! DRAKE TRIED AS HE WEAKENED JAMIE JUST ENOUGH TO TAKE ADVANTAGE, BUT THE HALL OF FAMER SAW IT COMING AS HE MANAGES TO ROLL HIMSELF OUT OF THE WAY! He’s saved himself from immediate danger, but you know how much he’s taken in this match in the process. He staggers up to his feet, trying to fight back but at the same time, Drake King is much faster… AS HE STEPS FORWARD AND CONNECTS WITH A SUPERKICK TO HIS JAW! Jamie is left stunned as Drake then goes under and lifts him above the ground… GOING FOR A BUCKLE BOMB!
Rich Russillo: But before that happens it’s Jamie that manages to stop him in his tracks with a barrage of strikes connecting down to the top of his head! The Hall of Famer is not going to go down very easily and it shows, as Drake is trying his best to try and keep him up but it’s not working at all! Jamie manages to slip out as he lands on the turnbuckles, beginning to scale up to the top rope and I don’t think that’s a very good place to be right now! Jamie is positioned and he has his eye on Drake… LEAPING OFF-
James Peters: BUT BEFORE HE DOES, IT’S DRAKE THAT QUICKLY LUNGES UP ONTO THE TOP ROPE, NOT WASTING ANYTIME BEGINNING TO TRADE BLOWS WITH THE ACE! Jamie is trying his best to fight back right now, clearly not trying to compromise himself in this match. But Drake has already gotten the better of him, as he continues to lay into him with repeated strikes that are definitely taking its toll right now!
Rich Russillo: DRAKE WITH A HEADBUTT! This leaves Jamie teetering for a moment as he is doing what he can right now to try and keep himself upward but to no avail! He’s fighting, he’s struggling! But Drake has him as he grabs a hold of him by the head, I think we know what he can do up there as he’s setting him up… SUPERPLEX!
…
Persephone: WHOAHOHO! NOT TODAY BITCH! JAMIE JUST LIFTED DRAKE UP AND DROPPED HIM RIGHT OVER THE ELECTRIFIED ROPES!
James Peters: ROUGH LANDING AS DRAKE SCREAMS IN PAIN! ROLLING OFF OF THE ROPES AS HE TUMBLES OFF OF THE APRON AND DOWN TO THE ELECTRIFIED RINGMAT AT RINGSIDE!
Rich Russillo: BUT JAMIE DIGS HIS HAND INTO THE BARBED WIRE LEASH AND PULLS DRAKE UPWARD! HE’S GIVING DRAKE A TASTE OF HIS OWN MEDICINE! HE’S HANGING HIM FROM THE TOP TURNBUCKLE AS DRAKE’S LEGS BARELY DANGLE ABOVE THE ELECTRIFIED FLOORING!
James Peters: BUT I DON’T KNOW WHICH OUTCOME WOULD BE BETTER IN THIS INSTANCE! DRAKE CAN BARELY BREATHE AS HE STRETCHES HIS ARMS OUT, TRYING TO FIND A WAY OUT OF THIS, BUT THE ONLY WAY THAT HE REALLY CAN RIGHT NOW IS IF JAMIE RELEASES THE HOLD THAT HE HAS ON THE BARBED WIRE LEASH, BUT EVEN THEN THAT MIGHT NOT EXACTLY BODE WELL FOR HIM! DRAKE IS LOSING AIR IN HIS LUNGS QUICKLY, AND YOU REALIZE JUST HOW DIRE THIS SITUATION SEEMS TO BECOME WITH DRAKE IN THIS POSITION!
Persephone: YES! STRANGLE HIM MORE! KILL HIM! KILL HIM! NO MORE DRAKE KING! NO MORE DRAKE KING!
Rich Russillo: YOU CAN SEE THE LIGHTS BEGIN TO FLICKER IN THE EYES OF DRAKE KING! THERE’S ONLY SO MUCH MORE THAT HE CAN TAKE RIGHT NOW AND HE KNOWS IT! HIS MOVEMENT IS STARTING TO SLOW AS JAMIE CONTINUES TO PULL AT HIS SHOCK COLLAR, USING THE BARBED WIRE LEASH TO ITS FULL EXTENT AS DRAKE KING IS DEFENSELESS RIGHT NOW! HE ONLY HAS SO MUCH TIME LEFT!
James Peters: BUT DRAKE JUST IN TIME MANAGES TO STRETCH HIS LEGS OUT AND LATCH ONTO THE APRON BEFORE PULLING HIMSELF ONTO IT! DRAKE KING SAVES HIS CHANCES IN THE MATCH FOR JUST A MOMENT!
Rich Russillo: BUT JAMIE O’HARA SHUTS THEM OFF AS HE LEAPS OFF OF THE TURNBUCKLES AND ABSOLUTELY CAVES HIS CHEST IN WITH A DIVING DOUBLE FOOT STOMP! ‘WELCOME BACK, O’ SLUMBERING ACE’ TO DRAKE KING!
James Peters: JAMIE BARELY MANAGES TO KEEP HIMSELF UP ON THE APRON! A LARGE VOLT OF ELECTRICITY SHATTERS DRAKE KING COMPLETELY AS HE’S OUT COLD RIGHT NOW! AND IT’S JAMIE THAT PUSHES HIM BACK INTO THE RING! JAMIE LEAPS FORWARD AND HOOKS THE LEG! GOING FOR THE PIN! FOR THE FIRST FALL IN THIS MATCH!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!!!
…
…
…
Rich Russillo: JAMIE O’HARA HAS GOTTEN THE FIRST FALL IN THIS MATCH!
(Jamie O’Hara: 1
Drake King: 0)
(10:00)
Persephone: GODDAMMIT! I was really hoping none of them would get any falls and this match would end up falling short of expectations, now that would be really funny.
James Peters: Drake King is completely out here and with a little under 10 minutes left on the clock, you know that he’s going to have to work quickly if he wants to catch up to Jamie in this one. Jamie eases up knowing that some of the pressure has been taken off of him but at the same time he knows that he can’t get too ahead of himself or else this isn’t going to end up going very well for him.
Rich Russillo: Jamie slowly rises back up to his feet, and his eyes are set on Drake who does not look to be in the best of shape right about now. Drake is slowly getting back up himself but right now he is at the mercy of Jamie O’Hara, as Jamie grabs a hold of him by the head and begins to bring him back up as well…
James Peters: BUT DRAKE GRABS HIM BY THE WAIST AND LOOKS TO DRIVE HIM INTO THE ELECTRIFIED ROPES!
Rich Russillo: BUT JAMIE MANAGES TO STOP HIM AS HE BRINGS HIM INTO A FRONT FACELOCK, BEFORE LIFTING HIM INTO A DDT- BUT DRAKE MANAGES TO DRIVE A PUNCH INTO HIS ABDOMEN AND SLIP OUT, GOING FOR A SUPERKICK TO HIS JAW- BUT JAMIE GRABS IT JUST IN TIME! He then sets him up… GOING FOR A DRAGON SCREW- BUT BEFORE HE DOES, DRAKE USES HIS OTHER LEG AS HE BRINGS IT UP AND KICKS JAMIE RIGHT ACROSS THE FACE!
James Peters: Jamie staggers back and nearly falls against the ropes, but manages to stop himself just in the nick of time. BUT HE THEN TAKES A HOLD OF THE BARBED WIRE LEASH AND BRINGS DRAKE IN, TRYING TO DRAG HIM TOWARD THE ROPES ALONGSIDE HIM!
Rich Russillo: BUT DRAKE TAKES HIS END OF THE LEASH AND STOPS HIMSELF! BOTH OF THEM HAVING A VICIOUS TUG OF WAR RIGHT NOW, BLOOD DRIPPING OFF OF THE PALM OF THEIR HANDS AS THERE’S AN OBVIOUS STRUGGLE GOING ON RIGHT NOW BETWEEN THE TWO! BUT DRAKE GETS A BETTER PULL AS HE BRINGS JAMIE IN AND CONNECTS WITH A HARD BOOT TO HIS ABDOMEN TO DROP HIM DOWN TO A KNEELING POSITION!
James Peters: Jamie is hurt as Drake still has a hold of the barbed wire leash, and it does not look like he has any good intentions with it… AS HE TAKES THE BARBED WIRE AND SLAMS IT ACROSS THE BACK OF JAMIE, DIGGING INTO HIS FLESH! You can see the obvious struggle on the face of Jamie right now, AS DRAKE TAKES THE BARBED WIRE AND DRIVES IT INTO HIS BACK AGAIN! Jamie is not in the best shape here as Drake has managed to get this back in his favor, as he then makes his way over and grabs a hold of him by the waist before bringing him back up to his feet… UNWINDING HIM BEFORE GOING FOR A RIPCORD KNEE-
Rich Russillo: CAUGHT! JAMIE CATCHES DRAKE’S KNEE BEFORE DRIVING REPEATED FISTS INTO HIS FACE! Drake definitely did not expect that as he is forced to rip himself away from Jamie, staggering back before running forward…
James Peters: JUST FOR JAMIE TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY AND GRAB HIM BY THE HEAD BEFORE SENDING HIM STRAIGHT INTO THE ELECTRIFIED ROPES!
Persephone: HAHA! GOTCHA BITCH! DRAKE TURNS IT AROUND AND HE SENDS JAMIE INTO THE ROPES INSTEAD!
(5:00)
Rich Russillo: WE HAVE 5 MINUTES LEFT AND IT’S NOT A GOOD SIGHT TO SEE JAMIE BEING ELECTROCUTED LIKE THIS AS DRAKE HAS TO STOP FOR A MOMENT TO MARVEL THIS! JAMIE STUMBLES FORWARD AS DRAKE CONNECTS WITH A SPIN KICK! HE’S RUNNING TO THE ROPES AND BACK…
James Peters: ‘JUDGEMENT DAY’!
Rich Russillo: NO! NO! JAMIE MANAGES TO MOVE! IT’S AS IF A RUSH OF ADRENALINE HAS COME OVER HIM AND HE CHARGES AT DRAKE BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A BOOT TO THE FACE! DRAKE DROPS TO A KNEELING POSITION AS JAMIE GRABS A HOLD OF BOTH HIS WRISTS!
James Peters: JAMIE GOING FOR ‘HATHAWAY’S DREAMS’! KAMIGOYE STRAIGHT TO THE FACE OF DRAKE KING TO GET ANOTHER POINT IN THIS MATCH!
Rich Russillo: BUT DRAKE MANAGES TO PUSH THE KNEE OUT OF THE WAY JUST IN TIME! HE THEN GOES UNDER, HE’S ROLLING UP JAMIE! HE’S GOT HIM IN A SCHOOL BOY PIN!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEE!!!!!
…
James Peters: BUT JAMIE MANAGES TO KICK OUT! JAMIE GETS BACK UP TO HIS FEET-
Rich Russillo: ‘JUDGEMENT DAY’!
James Peters: DRAKE MANAGES TO LEAP INTO THE AIR AS HE CONNECTS WITH AN EARTH-SHATTERING CURB STOMP TO THE BACK OF JAMIE’S HEAD! ANOTHER VOLT OF ELECTRICITY THIS TIME RUNNING THROUGH JAMIE AS HE’S OUT AND IT’S DRAKE THAT QUICKLY TAKES ADVANTAGE OF THIS AND GOES FOR THE PIN ATTEMPT WHILE HE HAS THE OPPORTUNITY! WILL HE BE ABLE TO CLOSE THE GAP?!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEE!!!!!
…
…
…
Persephone: FUCK! They tied this up, now we have the potential to have this match go on longer than it needs to… hurray…
(Jamie O’Hara: 1
Drake King: 1)
Rich Russillo: WE ARE TIED UP WITH JUST UNDER FIVE MINUTES LEFT! BOTH OF THEM KNOW WHAT IS AT STAKE RIGHT NOW AND WHAT THEY’RE GOING TO HAVE TO GIVE! YOU CAN SEE DRAKE RISING UP, BUT SURPRISINGLY JAMIE IS NOT FAR BEHIND HIM EITHER! BOTH OF THEM KNOW THAT THEY’RE GOING TO HAVE TO GO FAST, EVEN IF THEY DON’T HAVE A LOT LEFT IN THE TANK!
James Peters: DRAKE IS BACK UP TO HIS FEET AS HE HAS THE BARBED WIRE LEASH AND TRIES TO WRAP IT AROUND THE NECK OF JAMIE AGAIN- BUT JAMIE MANAGES TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A HEEL KICK TO THE SIDE OF DRAKE’S HEAD! Drake staggers back, BUT COMES BACK TO LIFE AS HE LEAPS INTO THE AIR FOR A SLINGBLADE ATTEMPT-
Rich Russillo: BUT JAMIE MOVES OUT OF THE WAY OF THAT! DRAKE LANDS ON HIS KNEES AS HE GETS BACK UP TO HIS FEET AND RUSHES FORWARD-
James Peters: ‘IN EXCELSIS’!
Rich Russillo: CLOSE! THE BICYCLE KNEE NEARLY CONNECTS BUT DRAKE SEES IT COMING AND MANAGES TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY OF IT JUST IN THE NICK OF TIME! Drake stumbles out of the way as he manages to collect himself just in time, Jamie turns around to face him looking to get the match back on track…
James Peters: JUST FOR DRAKE TO RUSH FORWARD WITH A ‘GUILLOTINE’ ATTEMPT TO TAKE OUT JAMIE!
Rich Russillo: BUT JAMIE MOVES!
(1:00)
James Peters: TIME IS BEGINNING TO RUN OUT EVEN FURTHER AND WITH EVERY SECOND THEY WASTE THE FASTER THEY SEEM TO BE GOING! DRAKE LANDS FLAT ON HIS BACK AS JAMIE TRIES FOR A FOOT STOMP- JUST FOR DRAKE TO ROLL OUT OF THE WAY AND GET BACK UP TO HIS FEET! DRAKE SPINS AROUND AND GOES FOR A DISCUS FOREARM- BUT JAMIE GRABS THE ARM AND SHOVES IT AWAY BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A BICYCLE KICK TO SEND DRAKE DOWN TO A KNEELING POSITION! JAMIE THEN GOES FOR A RUNNING KNEE STRIKE-
Rich Russillo: BUT DRAKE MOVES OUT OF THE WAY OF THAT BEFORE LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTING WITH A KNEE STRIKE OF HIS OWN! Jamie staggers back but thankfully for him manages to catch one of the corners before he completely falls over! DRAKE THEN RUSHES FORWARD JAMIE AND GOES FOR A FLYING CLOTHESLINE TO HIS HEAD-
James Peters: BUT JAMIE MANAGES TO AVOID IT! DRAKE COLLIDES WITH THE CORNER AS HE TURNS AROUND… ONLY FOR JAMIE TO LIFT HIM UP AND TAKE HIM DOWN TO THE GROUND WITH A SNAP POWERSLAM! DRAKE IS TAKEN DOWN TO THE GROUND AS IT LOOKS LIKE JAMIE IS GOING TO THE WELL ONE MORE TIME-
Rich Russillo: HE JUST TRIED FOR ‘HATHAWAY’S DREAMS’ AGAIN BUT DRAKE JUST GRABBED HIM BY THE ANKLE AND SWIPED AT HIM! JAMIE IS DOWN ON ALL FOURS AS DRAKE LEAPS OFF OF THE GROUND…
James Peters: ‘JUDGEMENT DAY’ CONNECTS ONTO JAMIE!
Rich Russillo: BUT JAMIE CATCHES THE FOOT! HE GETS BACK UP AND HE GRABS THE ANKLE OF DRAKE WHICH ALLOWS HIM TO GET BACK UP TO HIS FEET…
James Peters: ‘IN EXCELSIS’!
(0:10)
Rich Russillo: BICYCLE KNEE CONNECTS BUT THERE’S ONLY 10 SECONDS LEFT ON THE CLOCK! TIME IS RUNNING OUT AS DRAKE CRUMBLES DOWN, BUT AT THE SAME TIME IT’S JAMIE THAT MANAGES TO CATCH HIM BY THE WRIST…
James Peters: ‘HATHAWAY’S DREAMS’!
(0:05)
Rich Russillo: THE KNEE CONNECTS AND DRAKE IS COMPLETELY TAKEN OUT! JAMIE IS REACHING OUT! HE KNOWS THAT HE’S GOING TO BE CUTTING IT CLOSE RIGHT NOW BUT AS LONG AS HE GETS THERE IN TIME TO GO FOR THE PIN THEN HE HAS THIS MATCH WON!
(0:03)
OOONNNEEE!!!
(0:02)
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
(0:01)
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
James Peters: DID HE MAKE IT OFF IN TIME?!
…
…
…
Bella Braxton: Ladies and Gentlemen… due to neither competitor scoring a fall in the 30 minute time limit! This match is a DRAW!
(The crowd is in shock right now as Jamie O’Hara is slowly recuperating in absolute disbelief that he was too late.)
Persephone: YES! GOD IS GOOD! GOD IS GREAT! YESSIR!
(Drake King is seen, just barely conscious, as he looks at Jamie…)
Drake King: :mjlol2:
(Drake laughs hysterically at Jamie as it is taking everything within him not to lunge at him right now.)
Bella Braxton: But, I have just been informed that Captain Charisma has officially determined that this match…
Drake King: (Off-Mic) Wait…
Bella Braxton: WILL GO INTO A 10 MINUTE OVERTIME!
(The crowd roars in approval as Jamie slowly begins to smirk at this, Drake’s smile slowly beginning to fade realizing the predicament that he’s found himself in.)
Drake King: (Off-Mic) Hi.
(DING! DING! DING!)
(10:00)
Rich Russillo: JAMIE JUST LUNGED AT DRAKE AND HERE WE GO! THIS MATCH HAS RESTARTED AND NOW HE’S BEGINNING TO LAY BRUTAL PUNCHES INTO DRAKE! DRAKE IS DEFENSELESS RIGHT NOW AS HE’S DOING EVERYTHING TO TRY AND GET JAMIE OFF OF HIM! BY THE LOOKS OF THINGS IT SEEMS DRAKE WAS FINE WITH IT ENDING A DRAW AS LONG AS JAMIE DIDN’T WIN!
Persephone: FUCK ME TOO! GODDAMN YOU TO HELL CAPTAIN CHARISMA!
James Peters: DRAKE THOUGH! HE’S NOT GOING DOWN WITHOUT A FIGHT! HE JUST TOOK THE BARBED WIRE LEASH AND NOW HE’S RAKING IT AGAINST THE IDEA OF JAMIE! JAMIE STOPS HIS ATTACK AND IS FORCED TO RELENT FROM DRAKE AS HE STAGGERS BACK! BLINDED BY ALL OF THIS RIGHT NOW!
Rich Russillo: WAIT! DRAKE JUST GRABBED JAMIE BY THE WAIST AND RAMMED HIM RIGHT INTO THE ELECTRIFIED ROPES! BUT HE ISN’T LETTING GO EITHER! DRAKE HAS HIM BY THE THROAT AS HE’S PRESSING HIM HARD AGAINST THE ROPES! BOTH OF THEM GETTING ELECTROCUTED TO A CRISP RIGHT NOW THANKS TO IT! BUT THIS IS WHAT IT’S GOING TO TAKE FOR DRAKE TO GET AHEAD KNOWING THE PREDICAMENT HE’S BEEN PLACED IN!
James Peters: DRAKE CAN’T TAKE THE PAIN ANY LONGER AS HE FINALLY RELEASES! JAMIE CRUMBLING DOWN TO THE GROUND AS DRAKE STEPS BACK, AND HE SEES IT…
Rich Russillo: ‘JUDGEMENT DAY’ CONNECTS! THE CURB STOMP ON JAMIE! DRAKE ROLLS HIM ONTO HIS BACK AND HOOKS THE LEG! NO WAY THE MATCH ENDS LIKE THIS, NO WAY!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHHRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
…
…
…
James Peters: BUT JAMIE MANAGES TO KICK OUT OF IT, AND EVEN MORE SO ROLL DRAKE OVER! DRAKE’S SHOULDERS ARE ON THE MAT! JAMIE IS TRYING TO STEAL THIS AWAY FROM HIM!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHHRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Rich Russillo: NO GO! DRAKE MANAGES TO KICK OUT BEFORE HE GETS BACK UP TO HIS FEET-
James Peters: ‘IN EXCELSIS’!
Rich Russillo: JAMIE LEAPS INTO THE AIR AND CONNECTS WITH THE BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE TO DROP DRAKE DOWN TO THE GROUND AND LOOK! HE’S NOT DONE! HE WANTS TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS IS THROUGH WITH FROM HERE! JAMIE IS CLIMBING UP TO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE, DRAKE HASN’T MOVED AN INCH AND JAMIE KNOWS HOW CLOSE HE IS TO FINISHING THIS! HE HAS HIS SIGHTS SET ON DRAKE…
James Peters: ‘WELCOME BACK O’ SLUMBERING ACE’!
…
Rich Russillo: ‘GUILLOTINE’!
James Peters: DRAKE JUST GRABBED A HOLD OF THE BARBED WIRE LEASH AND PULLED HIM FORWARD BEFORE HE CAUGHT JAMIE OUT OF THE AIR WITH THE SICK KICK! JAMIE IS DOWN! JAMIE IS DOWN! DRAKE ROLLS HIM OVER AND HE HOOKS THE LEG! GOING FOR THE PIN RIGHT HERE!
Persephone: IT’S OVER! IT’S OVER!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTTHHHHHHRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
…
…
…
Persephone: DING! DING! DING!
Rich Russillo: NO! NO! JAMIE JUST SEIZED THE BOTTOM ROPE! IT’S NOT A ROPE BREAK, BUT IT JUST SENT A WAVE OF ELECTRICITY THROUGH THE BODY OF JAMIE AND STRAIGHT TO DRAKE! DRAKE SHOOTS OFF OF JAMIE IN PAIN AS JAMIE MANAGED TO SAVE HIMSELF BY SHEER LUCK!
Persephone: LOOK HOW FURIOUS DRAKE IS BY THIS! HE CAN’T BELIEVE THIS RIGHT NOW! THIS IS HILARIOUS HE LOOKS LIKE A GREMLIN!
(Drake is arguing with the referee, wondering how this is at all legal, meanwhile Jamie is seen slowly rolling himself under the electrified ropes and reaching his arm out while on the apron. He seems to be digging for something under the ring, meanwhile Drake is too busy throwing a fit to notice this at all happening.)
James Peters: Drake has Jamie by the arm as he drags him back into the ring, and it looks like he’s about to seal the deal with Jamie once and for all with what he has in mind here…
Rich Russillo: BUT JAMIE! JAMIE JUST DROVE A ROLL OF BARBED WIRE AGAINST THE KNEE OF DRAKE KING! DRAKE CRUMBLES DOWN TO THE GROUND, BUT THAT DOESN’T LOOK LIKE ANY KIND OF BARBED WIRE!
Persephone: We really just doing anything huh. Really? **Electrified barbed wire?**
James Peters: YES! JAMIE HAS ELECTRIFIED BARBED WIRE ALONG WITH SAFETY GLOVES AROUND HIS HANDS TO PREVENT IT FROM DAMAGING HIM! DRAKE IS HURT RIGHT NOW AS HE’S HOBBLING…
Rich Russillo: BEFORE JAMIE DRIVES THE ROLL OF ELECTRIFIED BARBED WIRE INTO HIS FACE AGAIN! AND LOOK AT DRAKE JUST WRITHING IN PAIN RIGHT NOW!
James Peters: BUT LOOK AT THE TIME TOO!
(1:00)
Rich Russillo: THERE IS A MINUTE LEFT IN THIS OVERTIME AND THERE’S NO GUARANTEES THAT THERE’S GOING TO END UP BEING A DO OVER EITHER IF THIS ALL GOES WRONG! JAMIE IS TAKING THE ELECTRIFIED BARBED WIRE AND IT LOOKS LIKE HE’S WRAPPING IT AROUND HIS KICKPADS! YOU CAN SEE THE PAIN ON JAMIE’S FACE RIGHT NOW AS A BARELY CONSCIOUS DRAKE IS GRABBING A HOLD OF THE BARBED WIRE LEASH AND GINGERLY PULLING JAMIE IN!
James Peters: BUT HE PULLS JAMIE IN RIGHT INTO AN ‘IN EXCELSIS’ WITH THE ELECTRIFIED BARBED WIRE RIGHT TO THE FACE OF DRAKE!
Rich Russillo: DRAKE SPINS AROUND AND JAMIE HAS BOTH OF HIS WRISTS AS HE PULLS HIM BACK, NO! HE’S NOT GOING TO DO THIS RIGHT?!
James Peters: HE IS! ‘APOTHOESIS’! HE’S TAKING HIS KNEE AND DRIVING IT REPEATEDLY INTO THE BACK OF DRAKE’S HEAD WITH THE ELECTRIFIED BARBED WIRE WRAPPED AROUND IT! DRAKE IS BARELY FIGHTING BUT THERE’S NOTHING THAT HE CAN DO! JAMIE IS TRYING TO GET THIS MATCH CALLED OFF BUT LOOK!
(0:10)
Rich Russillo: 10 SECONDS ARE LEFT ON THE CLOCK AND JAMIE ISN’T GOING TO HAVE MUCH TIME AFTER THIS IF HE DECIDES TO GIVE UP AND GO FOR THE PIN! BUT HE’S STILL GOING TO THE WELL! HE TAKES THE SOLE OF HIS FOOT AND HE DRIVES IT AGAINST THE BACK OF DRAKE’S HEAD! AND HE CONTINUES OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN! THE REFEREE IS CHECKING ON DRAKE! DRAKE IS BARELY RESPONSIVE!
(0:05)
Persephone: PLEASE LET THIS BE THE END!
(0:04)
James Peters: NO GOING BACK NOW! JAMIE CONTINUES TO STOMP DOWN REPEATEDLY AND IT’S UP TO THE REFEREE IF HE WANTS TO CALL THIS OFF!
(0:03)
(0:02)
Persephone: COME THE FUCK ON!
(0:01)
…
…
…
Rich Russillo: WHAT HAPPENED?!
…
…
…
(Jamie O’Hara: 2
Drake King: 1)
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘Kashmir’ begins to play up as Jamie O’Hara collapses down to the ground in agony. Hurt and in pain, finally all the adrenaline has subsided and he’s left writhing on the floor momentarily. Meanwhile, Drake is completely out, officials quickly shutting off the electricity as they rush in and look to free them from their shock collars.)
Bella Braxton: HERE IS YOUR WINNER… JAMIE O’HARA!!!!!!!!!!
James Peters: Wow.
Persephone: Eh.
Rich Russillo: I can’t believe that it took this much. Both of them just did not want to quit at all, and it was clear heading into the overtime that there was only going to be one winner. And even though Drake came a hair away, in the end it was Jamie that finished the job with an exclamation point.
James Peters: Drake laid it all on the line just as we expected him to, but there was nothing that he could do to combat whatever Jamie O’Hara had up his sleeve.
Persephone: Luis would’ve beat Jamie… just like he did last time they faced.
James Peters: Uh…
Persephone: SHUT UP!
Rich Russillo: The night belongs to The Ace! What a major victory!
(Jamie finally begins to recover up to his feet, as the crowd roars for him while he gingerly raises his hand into the air. Drake has to be helped out of the ring as it appears he hasn’t even woke up yet, as it’s the last shot seen before Shock Value from there begins to fade out to elsewhere.)
(A commercial is shown for the Ryan Joseph Wilson school of triple posting.)
( https://i.ibb.co/0qN3sFp/Charlie-Vs-TLA.png )
(Shock Value returns to ringside, where the cage for the High Voltage match has been set up. The camera pans around the cage, which hasn’t been lowered just yet, before cutting to Bella Braxton, who has a microphone in her hand.)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen… The following contest is a HIGH VOLTAGE match FOR THE EAW WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!!
Bella Braxton: You can win this match by pinfall, submission, escaping the cage, or the death of your opponent!
Persephone: I like the last option.
James Peters: I’m sure you do.
(‘Ambitionz az a Ridah’ by Tupac hits, and the crowd explodes with cheers. Before long, a lowrider makes its way out to the stage, and once it arrives, the camera pans out, revealing TLA seated inside of it. TLA exits the lowrider, and he has a smile on his face as the fans continue to cheer for him. He makes his way down the ramp, and he doesn’t look worried about the High Voltage cage in the slightest, not even hesitating to enter the ring.)
Bella Braxton: Introducing first… From Tlaxcala, Mexico… Weighing in at 210 pounds….. TTTTTTTT!!!!! LLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!
James Peters: Here comes TLA, and you can tell he’s ready for this match. He’s been waiting for his moment to win a third World Championship, and we all know he has some history with his opponent tonight, including a Championship match just this season!
Rich Russillo: This is bound to be a great match. TLA has every reason to bring his best tonight and show us everything he has to offer, as this won’t be an easy night for him. Charlie Marr is on an incredible run right now.
Persephone: Incredible? Nothing either of these guys do is incredible. I’m just glad this isn’t some sort of boring regular match where they have to try to actually wrestle.
(‘It Ain’t Safe’ by Skepta hits as TLA waits in the ring, and immediately the fans begin to loudly boo. Charlie Marr slowly walks out go the stage, and once he’s there, he raises his EAW World Championship up in the air. This causes the fans to just boo louder, but Charlie has a grin on his face as he holds the title up on his way to the ring. It’s not until Charlie makes it to ringside that he turns his attention to TLA, showing a far more serious look on his face as he enters the ring.)
Bella Braxton: And his opponent… From Tower Hamlets, London, United Kingdom… Weighing in at 240 pounds… HE IS THE EAW WORLD CHAMPION, CHHAAAAAAAARRRLLLIIEEEE MMMAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!
James Peters: Charlie Marr is here now, and as you can see both men seem to be wearing gloves that’d allow them to touch the electric cage. We all know how that cage works in a match like this, so it seems they plan to use it to their advantage.
Rich Russillo: Charlie Marr won that Championship back at Road to Redemption and retained it at King of Elite. This could be his second successful defense, or this could be a very short reign for Charlie.
Persephone: I don’t care which happens. As long as someone dies.
(Once both men are in the ring and the EAW Championship is placed in the timekeepers area, the cage is lowered. Once it is lowered, an official activates the cage, causing a thousand volts of electricity to run through it. After this, they ring the bell.)
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
James Peters: AND HERE WE GO! THIS EAW WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH IS UNDERWAY, AND IMMEDIATELY BOTH MEN CHARGE STRAIGHT AT EACH OTHER BEFORE BEGINNING TO FIGHT IN THE CENTER OF THE RING! BOTH MEN IMMEDIATELY BEGIN PUNCHING AWAY AT EACH OTHER, LOOKING TO GET THE UPPER HAND IN WHAT MAY VERY QUICKLY BECOME A GRUELING HIGH VOLTAGE MATCH! TLA AND CHARLIE HAVE TONS OF HISTORY, GOING BACK SEASONS AND YEARS AGO! THESE TWO KNOW EACH OTHER VERY WELL, AND AS YOU CAN SEE, THEY DON’T LIKE EACH OTHER ONE BIT! AFTER ALL THEIR MATCHES, THIS MIGHT JUST BE THE ONE WITH THE HIGHEST STAKES!
Rich Russillo: TLA IS GETTING THE UPPER HAND, AND HE KNEES CHARLIE IN THE MIDSECTION- BEFORE THROWING HIM TO THE ELECTRIC CAGE WALL!!!
Persephone: OH COME ON! WE WERE SUPPOSED TO SEE AN ELECTROCUTION, BUT CHARLIE MANAGED TO STOP HIMSELF BY GRABBING THE ROPES! That’s disappointing. This match really turned out to be a waste of time.
James Peters: :wtf: It literally just started. Anyways TLA is running towards Charlie, AND CHARLIE DUCKS UNDER TLA’S STRIKE, BUT TLA SPRINGBOARDS OFF THE MIDDLE ROPE BEFORE DROPPING CHARLIE WITH A MOONSAULT! GREAT MOVE BY TLA EARLY ON, AS CHARLIE STUMBLES INTO THE CORNER OF THE RING!
Rich Russillo: TLA runs in, AND HE CONNECTS WITH AN ELBOW STRIKE! TLA SENDS CHARLIE OUT OF THE CORNER WITH A SNAPMARE, AND NOW IT LOOKS LIKE HE’S BEGINNING TO HEAD UP TO THE TOP ROPE! Charlie Marr lost the struggle for control at the start and thanks to this he’s having to fight an uphill battle with TLA firmly in control! TLA knows this, and he’s making the most of it as he waits for Charlie to return to his feet! CHARLIE IS BACK UP- BUT WAIT A SECOND!
James Peters: CHARLIE CHARGED INTO THE CORNER WHERE TLA WAS, BUT TLA WAS ABLE TO JUMP OVER HIM, ROLLING BACK TO HIS FEET! TLA NOW TURNING AROUND AND RUNNING TOWARDS CHARLIE MARR AS CHARLIE CHARGES IN AS WELL- WAIT! OH MY GOD!
Rich Russillo: CHARLIE QUICKLY STOPPED IN HIS TRACKS AND INSTEAD DUCKED DOWN, ALLOWING HIM TO LIFT TLA UP WITH A BACK BODY DROP RIGHT INTO THE ELECTRIC CAGE!!!! TLA WAS JUST SHOCKED BY THE ELECTRIC CAGE, AND IN CASE YOU WEREN’T LISTENING EARLIER, THAT’S A THOUSAND VOLTS THAT JUST STRUCK THE CHALLENGER!!!!! I know I said Charlie was at a disadvantage in the early stages of this match, but that has completely changed and fast!
Persephone: That was nice. Do it again.
James Peters: TLA drops onto the mat, but hitting that cage wall may have just drained all of the momentum TLA had been building in the last few moments. TLA is out of it after being electrocuted- AND CHARLIE IS QUICK TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS AS HE RUNS IN AND KNEES TLA IN THE SIDE OF HIS HEAD! TLA nearly falls to the mat, BUT BEFORE HE CAN, CHARLIE GRABS HIM AND SENDS HIM SHOULDER FIRST INTO THE RING POST! Charlie Marr has taken control of this match, and he has a huge grin on his face as he knows TLA might not be getting back into this anytime soon!
Rich Russillo: Charlie Marr now pulling TLA back up, AND HE SENDS TLA FACE FIRST INTO THAT ELECTRIC CAGE WALL, ONCE AGAIN SHOCKING TLA AND LIKELY ERASING WHATEVER SMALL BIT OF ENERGY TLA MAY HAVE HAD LEFT! CHARLIE GRABS TLA FROM BEHIND AS TLA LANDED IN THE RING, AND NOW HE JUST THROWS TLA OVER HIS HEAD WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX! Charlie Marr isn’t finished yet, either! He quickly grabs TLA and lifts him up, before beginning to repeatedly knee him in the ribs!
James Peters: Charlie continues to just beat down TLA, DROPPING TLA TO BOTH KNEES WITH A DOUBLE AXE HANDLE! Charlie now just looking around to the crowd with a huge grin on his face, knowing that he’s in full control of this one and he can likely end this match at any time! Charlie is just laughing in everyone’s faces right now, AND NOW HE SHOVES TLA BACKWARDS INTO THE ROPES, BEFORE GOING FOR THE CHARING CROSS TO TAKE TLA OUT OF THIS ONE!
Rich Russillo: NO! TLA DUCKS UNDER IT BEFORE BOUNCING OFF THE OPPOSITE PAIR OF ROPES! CHARLIE TURNS AROUND, BUT TLA RUNS PAST HIM BEFORE BOUNCING OFF OF THE FIRST PAIR OF ROLES! CHARLIE TURNS TOWARDS TLA, AND TLA CATCHES HIM WITH A HURRICANRANA! WHERE DID THIS ENERGY COME FROM ALL OF A SUDDEN!? CHARLIE STUMBLES INTO THE CORNER OF THE RING, AND NOW TLA QUICKLY RUNS IN BEFORE DELIVERING A DROPKICK, HITTING CHARLIE RIGHT IN THE FACE! CHARLIE STUMBLES OUT OF THE CORNER AFTER THE DROPKICK, AND NOW TLA HITS CHARLIE WITH THE CARTEL KICK!!!!
Persephone: NOPE! IT DIDN’T CONNECT, CHARLIE MANAGED TO CATCH HIS LEG! THROW HIM INTO THE ELECTRIC CAGE AGAIN!
James Peters: CHARLIE DOESN’T DO THAT, BUT WHAT HE DOES DO IS ROLL TLA BACK TO HIS FEET BEFORE QUICKLY PULLING HIM INTO A FRONT FACELOCK, ALLOWING HIM TO QUICKLY APPLY THE DOUBLE UNDERHOOK FOR “THE QUEEN IS DEAD”!!!!
Rich Russillo: TLA DOESN’T LET THAT CONNECT, THOUGH! TLA DROPS DOWN TO HIS KNEES, SLIPPING OUT OF CHARLIE’S GRASP BEFORE DELIVERING AN ARM DRAG TO GET CHARLIE OFF OF HIM! TLA KIPS BACK UP TO HIS FEET, AND NOW HE HITS CHARLIE WITH AN ENZUIGIRI! CHARLIE IS BARELY STANDING, AND TLA USES THIS AS HIS OPPORTUNITY TO CAPITALIZE- PULLING HIM IN FOR THE MEXICAN DESTROYER!!!
James Peters: CHARLIE DOESN’T LET THAT CONNECT EITHER, THOUGH! CHARLIE MANAGED TO HOLD ONTO TLA’S LEGS JUST AS TLA JUMPED UP FOR THE MEXICAN DESTROYER, AND NOW CHARLIE TURNS TOWARDS THE CORNER OF THE RING- BEFORE DELIVERING AN ALABAMA SLAM RIGHT INTO THE TURNBUCKLES!!! THE BACK OF TLA’S HEAD JUST HIT THAT TOP TURNBUCKLE HARD! That was a nasty shot by Charlie Marr, though he may have needed that in order to keep this Championship reign alive!
Rich Russillo: Charlie drops down to a knee, and clearly TLA has done a good bit of damage to Charlie, though I doubt it compares to what Charlie has done to TLA so far. Charlie has been nasty throughout the match at this point, but that kind of aggression is just part of what makes Charlie such a dangerous competitor. TLA is crawling out of the corner now, and Charlie uses this as his opportunity to pull himself up onto the middle rope! I think he’s about to go for another big move right now!
James Peters: That’s right. Charlie has never been the high flying type, so I think we all know what he’s setting up for! He’s going for Death or Glory-
(After having some time to think, Charlie shakes his head, choosing not to dive off the top rope. Instead, he turns around and pulls himself onto the top rope, before grabbing the cage and beginning to climb up, causing the fans to boo in disappointment.)
Persephone: Well so much for that.
James Peters: CHARLIE ISN’T GOING FOR ANYTHING! INSTEAD, HE’S TRYING TO ESCAPE THE CAGE EARLY BEFORE HE CAN ACTUALLY TAKE TOO MUCH DAMAGE! BOTH MEN CAME EQUIPPED WITH THE PROPER GEAR FOR A MATCH LIKE THIS CLEARLY, AND CHARLIE IS PUTTING THAT TO USE AS HE TRIES TO ESCAPE THE CAGE!
Rich Russillo: IT’S TOO EARLY FOR THAT THOUGH, AS TLA STILL HAS LIFE IN HIM! TLA QUICKLY GRABS CHARLIE BY THE LEG, BEFORE SLAMMING IT INTO THE CAGE WALL!!! CHARLIE DROPS DOWN A BIT, AND THIS IS ENOUGH FOR TLA TO PULL HIM OFF OF THE WALL AND INTO HIS SHOULDERS IN A POWERBOMB CARRY!!! TLA IS HOLDING ONTO CHARLIE AS HE PULLS HIM AWAY FROM THE CAGE- BEFORE TURNING AROUND AND RUNNING IN, POWERBOMBING CHARLIE BACK FIRST INTO THE ELECTRIC CAGE!!!!
James Peters: FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THIS MATCH CHARLIE’S SKIN HAS COME IN CONTACT WITH THAT ELECTRIC CAGE WALL, AND CHARLIE CLEARLY HASN’T TAKEN THAT WELL AS HE JUST LOOKS LIFELESS!!! CHARLIE MARR WAS JUST POWERBOMBED INTO THAT CAGE WALL, A CAGE WALL THAT SHOCKED CHARLIE WITH A THOUSAND VOLTS OF ELECTRICITY!!!! TLA IS WASTING NO TIME CAPITALIZING, EITHER! HE IS ON HIS WAY TO THE TOP ROPE, KNOWING THAT CHARLIE MARR IS DOWN AND OUT, INCAPABLE OF MOVING AFTER BEING ELECTROCUTED BY THE CAGE WALL! WE MIGHT BE SEEING A NEW EAW WORLD CHAMPION!
Rich Russillo: 420!!!!! TLA DIVES OFF THE TOP ROPE, CONNECTING WITH 420 RIGHT ON TOP OF CHARLIE MARR!!!!!!! THAT AMAZING SHOOTING STAR PRESS CONNECTS, AND NOW TLA HOOKS THE LEGS FOR THE COVER ON WHO MIGHT JUST BECOME THE *FORMER* EAW WORLD CHAMPION!!!!!
OOOOOONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: NO WAY! CHARLIE MARR WAS JUST BARELY ABLE TO KICK OUT BEFORE THREE, KEEPING THIS MATCH ALIVE AND SAVING HIS REIGN AS THE EAW WORLD CHAMPION!!! THIS MATCH IS NOT YET OVER, AND TLA CAN’T BELIEVE IT! HE THOUGHT HE HAD BECOME THE CHAMPION, BUT NOT YET!
Persephone: I’m glad it’s not over yet. They haven’t been electrocuted enough to my liking yet. Still, TLA’s moves must really suck if they couldn’t put down a half dead Charlie Marr. Where’d he learn to wrestle?
James Peters: TLA slowly pushes himself back to his feet, and anyone in their right mind would’ve wanted the match to end there. Being in High Voltage almost guaranteed being electrocuted far more times than someone should be able to take, so with Charlie still in this match, things could get ugly if TLA doesn’t end this soon. Of course, it looks like TLA knows that himself, as he’s pulling Charlie back to his feet before he could get up on his own!
Rich Russillo: TLA now not wasting any time, AS HE SHOVES CHARLIE INTO THE ROPES! CHARLIE BOUNCES OFF OF THEM, AND TLA POPS HIM UP FOR A MODIFIED VERSION OF HIS VERY MEXICAN UPPERCUT!!!
James Peters: NO! THAT WAS TLA’S PLAN, BUT AS CHARLIE GOT POPPED UP, CHARLIE JUST RAKED THE EYES OF TLA!!!! CHARLIE PLAYING DIRTY AS HE JUST PREVENTED TLA FROM TAKING HIM OUT, AND IN HIGH VOLTAGE THERE ARE NO DISQUALIFICATIONS! CHARLIE CAN GET AWAY WITH DOING STUFF LIKE THIS AS MUCH AS HE WANTS!
Rich Russillo: CHARLIE NOW WITH A BIG BOOT, TAKING DOWN HIS CHALLENGER! Charlie himself drops down to a knee, as he’s clearly still hurting from what TLA did to him moments ago. Both men are in pretty bad shape already, but that’s how High Voltage is. It’s a brutal stipulation, and things will only get worse as time goes on, which is exactly why both men would want to finish this as quickly as possible! Charlie dragging TLA back to his feet, AND HE ATTEMPTS TO LOCK IN TRANQUILITY!
Persephone: A SUBMISSION IN HIGH VOLTAGE!? THIS ISN’T WHAT I’M HERE FOR!
James Peters: YOU’RE IN LUCK THEN, AS TLA DIDN’T LET HIM FULLY APPLY THE REAR NAKED CHOKE! TLA WAS ABLE TO PULL CHARLIE OFF OF HIM WITH A SNAPMARE, AND AS SOON AS CHARLIE GETS BACK UP TLA CONNECTS WITH A DROPKICK! Charlie’s plan clearly backfired as TLA is back in this, AND NOW TLA RUNS TO THE ROPES, BEFORE SPRINGBOARDING OFF THE MIDDLE ROPE AND GOING FOR A CLOTHESLI-
Rich Russillo: THE HEADMASTER RITUAL!!!!! CHARLIE JUST CAUGHT TLA OUT OF MID AIR AND PLANTED HIM ON THE MAT WITH THE SPINEBUSTER!!! THE HEADMASTER RITUAL CONNECTS, AND THAT MIGHT JUST BE IT FOR TLA!!!! CHARLIE QUICKLY GOES FOR THE COVER!!!!!
OOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
James Peters: TLA KICKS OUT!!!! TLA KICKS OUT OF THE HEADMASTER RITUAL, AND ONCE AGAIN THIS MATCH IS KEPT ALIVE AS TLA IS NOT WILLING TO LOSE HIS OPPORTUNITY TO BECOME A THREE TIME WORLD CHAMPION!!! That was one of the best moves Charlie has in his arsenal, but somehow TLA is still in this and he is still fighting! This one isn’t over yet, so Charlie will have to think of something and fast or else TLA WILL find his way back into this match!
Rich Russillo: Charlie Marr looks frustrated knowing that TLA is still in this one, and he just shakes his head before- wait a second… I think Charlie just got an idea!
Persephone: Wait… Why is Charlie going to the door?
Rich Russillo: Because it’s a valid way to escape the cage and win the match! Charlie is demanding that the official opens the door, and the official is unlocking it right now! Charlie is planning to escape the cage while TLA is still down, capitalizing on all of the damage he’s already done by leaving!
James Peters: The fans in attendance are booing, but I don’t think there’s anything they can do about it at this point! Love him or hate him Charlie clearly knows what he’s doing, which is part of the reason he’s the man holding the EAW World Championship right now! TLA is still down following the Headmaster Ritual, and that’s not a good sign as this match and the EAW Championship may be slipping right through his fingers!
(Finally, the referee opens the cage door, and the boos only grow louder as Charlie Marr is seen with a huge grin on his face. Not wasting any time, Charlie steps through the ropes and leaves the cage.)
James Peters: WAIT A SECOND!!!!
Rich Russillo: TLA JUST GRABBED CHARLIE BEFORE HE COULD ESCAPE THE CAGE!!!!!!
James Peters: TLA WOKE UP JUST IN TIME TO SEE CHARLIE MARR STEP THROUGH THE ROPES, AND HE USED ALL HIS REMAINING STRENGTH TO RUSH TO CHARLIE AND GRAB HIM! TLA IS HOLDING ONTO CHARLIE RIGHT NOW, STOPPING CHARLIE FROM DROPPING OFF THE APRON!!!! CHARLIE IS RIGHT THERE! IF HE CAN ESCAPE TLA’S GRASP, HE WINS THIS MATCH AND RETAINS THE EAW WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!! CAN CHARLIE DO IT!?
Rich Russillo: WAIT, LOOK AT TLA!!!! TLA JUST TRANSITIONED INTO A FULL NELSON HOLD, AND NOW HE PULLS CHARLIE UP… BEFORE PULLING HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE AND BACK INTO THE RING WITH A DRAGON SUPLEX!!!!!!!!! TLA JUST SAVED THE MATCH FOR HIMSELF WITH THAT DRAGON SUPLEX, AND TLA COULDN’T HAVE COME ANY CLOSER THAN THAT!!!! HAD TLA BEEN DOWN FOR EVEN A SECOND LATER, HE WOULD HAVE LOST HIS OPPORTUNITY TO WIN THE EAW WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP!!!! TLA IS STILL IN THIS THOUGH! HE CAN STILL BECOME CHAMPION!
Persephone: :mjlol: Look how pathetic Charlie is! Is he trying to crawl out of the cage!?
James Peters: CHARLIE JUST RUSHED PAST TLA, AND HE QUICKLY TRIES TO CRAWL THROUGH THE ROPES AND PULL HIMSELF OUT OF THE CAGE- BUT TLA GRABS THE DOOR AND PULLS IT BACK IN, SLAMMING IT RIGHT INTO CHARLIE MARR!!!!! CHARLIE JUST HAD THAT ELECTRIC CAGE DOOR SLAMMED RIGHT INTO HIS FACE, AND I THINK WITH THAT, HIS GOAL OF ESCAPING THE CAGE THROUGH THE DOOR HAS COMPLETELY BACKFIRED! Both men came to this match wearing gloves to grab onto the electric cage, and TLA just used that to his advantage so he could do some serious damage to Charlie!
Rich Russillo: Charlie Marr is down and out right now, and TLA uses this as his opportunity to strike as he quickly begins climbing up to the top rope! Charlie Marr has always been the kind of Elitist to have various tricks up his sleeve, but TLA isn’t letting any of that get to him, and instead seems to be only moments away from becoming the new EAW World Champion! TLA has made it to the top rope, and I think Charlie is still feeling the effects of being electrocuted by the cage wall! If there’s any moment for TLA to finish this, it’s now!
James Peters: TLA DIVES OFF THE TOP ROPE, AND THERE IT IS! BURNOUT!!!!!
Rich Russillo: IT DOESN’T CONNECT!!!! WHAT???? CHARLIE MARR BARELY MANAGED TO ROLL OUT OF THE WAY, AND TLA CRASHED BACK FIRST ONTO THE MAT!!!! CHARLIE MARR SURVIVES BURNOUT AFTER BARELY MANAGING TO ROLL OUT OF THE WAY, AND ON TOP OF SURVIVING, HE MAY HAVE ALSO JUST LEFT TLA IN A VERY BAD WAY! TLA manages to push himself back to his feet, but I don’t think he’s realized that he wasn’t the first to get back up! TLA turns around, RIGHT INTO THE CHARING CROSS!!!!!
Persephone: :skip: How did he miss???
James Peters: TLA DUCKED UNDER IT!!! CHARLIE WENT FOR THE CHARING CROSS, BUT TLA WAS ABLE TO DUCK UNDER IT BEFORE CONNECTING WITH THE CARTEL KICK!!!! THE CARTEL KICK CONNECTS, AND NOW BOTH MEN ARE DOWN ON THE MAT!!!!
Rich Russillo: Huge move by TLA, but after hitting the mat that hard he can’t capitalize and go for the cover right away! I can’t say I’m surprised, either! He’s already been hit with big moves like that spinebuster, and that’s also ignoring him being electrocuted!
Persephone: Who cares if they were shocked a few times? It was just a thousand volts. It couldn’t have been that bad. Get up already.
Rich Russillo: :comeagain:
James Peters: Do you want to test that?
Persephone: I’ll pass, actually.
James Peters: Well Charlie Marr has slowly managed to crawl into the corner of the ring, and you have to think that he’s a bit lucky right now that TLA wasn’t in any condition to capitalize. After all, with everything that’s just happened I’d be surprised if Charlie could actually keep fighting back. This may have been over if TLA managed to get to the cover in time.
Rich Russillo: Well that doesn’t matter now, and we can’t forget that the damage Charlie did to TLA is what stopped TLA from pinning him. All they can do now is keep going, and I think the challenger knows this. TLA is making his way over to Charlie right now, and this is smart on TLA’s part. TLA definitely isn’t in great shape himself right now, but with everything he just hit Charlie with, the worst thing he could do is give Charlie any time to recover and get back into this. TLA now grabbing Charlie and pulling him up- BUT WAIT!
James Peters: CHARLIE JUST PULLED TLA INTO THE MIDDLE TURNBUCKLE WITH A REVERSE STO, AND… LOOK AT THAT! THE TURNBUCKLE IS EXPOSED!!!! CHARLIE PULLED THE PAD OFF OF THE MIDDLE TURNBUCKLE WHILE HE WAS IN THE CORNER, AND THANKS TO THAT, TLA’S HEAD CRASHED RIGHT INTO STEEL!!!! It’s all legal in a High Voltage match, but Charlie did have to hide that from his opponent and he did so successfully! TLA doesn’t even know where he is, AND NOW CHARLIE QUICKLY DRAGS TLA TO THE MAT WITH A SCHOOL BOY PIN!!!!!
OOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: TLA KICKS OUT, BUT AS SOON AS HE DOES, HE’S MET WITH AN ELBOW RIGHT TO THE HEAD, DROPPING HIM TO THE MAT! Blood is starting to come from TLA’s forehead thanks to hitting the steel turnbuckle, and that’s not a good sign. Charlie may have just gotten the upper head with that! Charlie now turning towards the turnbuckles, and now that he has nothing to hide, he’s just removing the remaining pads from that corner! Charlie now walking into the opposite corner, and he begins removing the turnbuckles from that corner as well!
Persephone: This is more like it. If I can’t get weapons they needed some other way to draw blood. Now I can enjoy this match.
James Peters: Charlie now dragging TLA back to his feet, AND HE USES ALL HIS POWER TO SEND TLA CRASHING BACK FIRST INTO THE EXPOSED TURNBUCKLES! TLA COLLASES OUT OF THE CORNER, AND I THINK CHARLIE NOW IS PLANNING TO MAKE GOOD ON THE PROMISE HE MADE HEADING TOWARDS THIS MATCH, WHERE HE SAID HE’D DESTROY TLA! CHARLIE LIFTS TLA UP INTO A POWERBOMB POSITION, BEFORE RUNNING INTO THE OPPOSITE CORNER AND DELIVERING A BUCKLE BOMB INTO THE EXPOSED TURNBUCKLES!
Rich Russillo: TLA once again collapses onto the mat, and he’s just lifeless right now! Charlie Marr just drags TLA back up though, clearly not done with him just yet! Charlie now, JUST PRESSING TLA’S FACE AGAINST THE ELECTRIC CAGE!!!!! CHARLIE IS PRESSING TLA’S FACE AGAINST THE ELECTRIC CAGE, AND IF HITTING THE CAGE WAS ALREADY BAD, I CAN’T IMAGINE WHAT THIS MUST HAVE DONE TO TLA! CHARLIE TOSSES TLA DOWN ONTO THE MAT, AND I THINK THAT’S IT! I DON’T SEE HOW TLA COULD HAVE ANYTHING LEFT IN HIM! Charlie Marr is just dismantling TLA, all because of the opening that exposed turnbuckle gave him!
James Peters: I don’t think the fans have booed this loudly all night. I’m sure everyone in attendance wishes they could enter the cage and help TLA out right now, but unfortunately for them there is nothing they can do as Charlie Marr just pulls himself up onto the middle turnbuckle. Charlie is clearly just toying with TLA at this point, knowing that TLA just had nothing in him. Charlie has been very cruel throughout this match, but that’s exactly what should be expected from the EAW World Champion, especially in a match like this where ANYTHING goes.
Persephone: Well TLA looks about dead, but at least I saw some blood. I saw these two get electrocuted too, so that works for me.
Rich Russillo: No, TLA isn’t dead yet! He’s somehow pushing himself back up, but look at Charlie’s face! His expression hasn’t changed at all, so this must be exactly what he’s been waiting for! TLA is showing some incredible resilience, but that might be to his detriment as Charlie is clearly waiting for him to get back up! TLA returns to his feet, AND NOW CHARLIE DIVES OFF THE TOP ROPE! DEATH OR GLORY!!!!
James Peters: VERY MEXICAN UPPERCUT!!!!!
Rich Russillo: CHARLIE WENT FOR HIS DIVING EUROPEAN UPPERCUT, BUT TLA CAUGHT HIM OFF GUARD BY CATCHING HIM WITH HIS OWN VERY MEXICAN UPPERCUT, TAKING CHARLIE RIGHT OUT OF THE AIR!!!!! WHAT A COUNTER BY TLA, WHO FALLS ON TOP OF CHARLIE MARR FOR THE COVER!!!!!!
OOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTHHHHHHRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
James Peters: CHARLIE MARR GETS THE SHOULDER UP!!!!!! THIS MATCH ISN’T OVER YET!!!! CHARLIE MARR WAS ABLE TO GET THE SHOULDER UP JUST BEFORE THREE, KEEPING THIS MATCH ALIVE AND ONCE AGAIN SAVING HIS EAW WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP REIGN! WHAT MORE WILL IT TAKE TO KEEP EITHER OF THESE MEN DOWN!?
Rich Russillo: TLA rolls off of Charlie Marr, and as he slowly uses the ropes to pull himself back up, I’m sure he must be wondering what he has to do in order to keep Charlie down. These two have been tearing each other apart, and if some of the immediate damage you can see such as the blood rushing down TLA’s head isn’t enough, I’m sure this match will leave them with some serious burns. Even so, TLA is dragging Charlie up, and I think he’s planning something.
Persephone: :oh: I like this. He just pressed Charlie’s egg shaped head against the exposed middle turnbuckle, with his face facing the turnbuckle. I don’t know what exactly he’s doing, but it might crack Charlie’s skull open so it’s good.
James Peters: TLA backs up, all the way to the opposite corner of the ring, and I think Persephone may be right! I think TLA may be planning something very dangerous, AS HE RUSHES IN, BEFORE DELIVERING THE DOUBLE KNEES RIGHT INTO THE BACK OF CHARLIE’S HEAD!!!!! CHARLIE’S HEAD WAS JUST CRUSHED BETWEEN TLA’S KNEES AND THAT STEEL TURNBUCKLE! WHAT DID TLA JUST DO!?
Rich Russillo: Charlie drops out of the corner, and blood is rushing down his head far faster than TLA’s! It’s safe to say TLA got some payback, but the job isn’t over yet! He still needs to finish this match and win the EAW World Championship! TLA looks like he’s figured something out though, and that’s really bad news for Charlie, who must still be feeling the effects of the same exposed turnbuckles that he set up in the first place!
Persephone: He should’ve done a better job of leaving the cage, then he wouldn’t be in this situation. How do you even struggle this badly against TLA of all people?
James Peters: TLA pulls himself onto the middle rope before pulling himself all the way up top, all while holding onto Charlie Marr! TLA clearly has some sort of plan for the EAW World Champion right now, and if I had to guess, this plan might just threaten Charlie’s reign! TLA clearly has something on his mind right now, and… WAIT A MINUTE! THAT’S WHAT IT IS! TLA ISN’T JUST SETTING UP FOR ANYTHING, HE’S SETTING UP FOR THE VERY MEXICAN DESTROYER, AN AVALANCHE VERSION OF HIS FINISHING MOVE!!!
Rich Russillo: CHARLIE DOESN’T LET IT CONNECT THOUGH!!! TLA JUMPED UP FOR THE VERY MEXICAN DESTROYER, BUT CHARLIE PUSHED HIM OFF OF HIM!!!! CHARLIE WITH A HUGE BACK BODY DROP TO AVOID THE VERY MEXICAN DESTROYER!!!!
James Peters: TLA LANDED ON HIS FEET-
Rich Russillo: BUT CHARLIE CONNECTED WITH THE CHARING CROSS!!!! THE CHARING CROSS CONNECTS ON TLA, JUST ABOUT TAKING THE HEAD OFF OF HIS CHALLENGER!!!! CHARLIE MARR JUST HIT TLA WITH THE BIGGEST MOVE IN HIS ARSENAL, THE SAME MOVE HE’S USED TO TAKE OUT SO MANY OTHERS!!!!!
James Peters: CHARLIE FALLS ONTO THE MAT, BUT HE QUICKLY MANAGES TO GET AN ARM OVER TLA!!!!! CHARLIE IS PINNING TLA!!!!
OOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHHRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: TLA KICKS OUT!!!!!! TLA KICKED OUT, SURVIVING THE CHARING CROSS!!!!!! THAT WAS CHARLIE’S FINISHING MOVE, BUT IT WASN’T ENOUGH TO PUT TLA DOWN TONIGHT, EVEN AFTER THE EXPOSED TURNBUCKLES, THE ELECTRIC CAGE, AND SO MUCH MORE!!!! TLA IS STILL IN THIS MATCH, AND CHARLIE MARR JUST CAN’T BELIEVE IT!!! THAT WAS THE BEST CHARLIE HAD TO THROW AT TLA, AND IT JUST WASN’T ENOUGH!
Persephone: Wow. These two really must suck at wrestling. How are they still kicking out of stuff?
James Peters: I really don’t know, honestly. Charlie Marr doesn’t seem to know either, and honestly I’m not sure what his next move could be. Charlie slowly pushes himself back to his feet, but he is clearly frustrated. Charlie looks down at TLA in anger, AND NOW HE JUST DROPS DOWN BEFORE BEGINNING TO PUNCH AWAY AT HIM! CHARLIE IS JUST BEATING DOWN TLA, CLEARLY NOT HAPPY THAT HE HASN’T ALREADY RETAINED HIS CHAMPIONSHIP! I DON’T THINK TLA HAS ENOUGH LEFT IN HIM TO TRY AND DEFEND HIMSELF RIGHT NOW, EITHER! CHARLIE IS JUST DESTROYING HIS CHALLENGER RIGHT NOW!
Rich Russillo: Charlie pushes himself off of TLA before beginning to think… AND I think it’s safe to say that Charlie’s got an idea. He tried this before, but at this point I think it’ll work better! CHARLIE IS BEGINNING TO CLIMB UP THE CAGE, AND IT LOOKS LIKE HE’S TRYING TO ESCAPE THE CAGE ONCE AGAIN SINCE TLA SURVIVED THE CHARING CROSS!!! Charlie is playing this smart as well! TLA caught up to him when he was trying to go through the door, but climbing out of the cage TLA won’t have as easy of a time catching up to him!
James Peters: I’ll give Charlie Marr credit. You don’t have to like the way he does things, but at the end of the day he’s doing what it takes to win! In a match like this where anything goes and all you can do is either tear your opponent apart or escape the cage, I don’t blame Charlie for trying to get out of the cage! With that being said, I don’t think TLA has enough time to catch up to him. He was just hit with Charlie’s finishing move, there’s no way he’ll make it in time!
Rich Russillo: Charlie Marr is slowly approaching the top of the cage, and once he’s up there, I think this match is as good as over! He’ll easily be able to just drop to ringside from up there, and once that happens he’ll retain the EAW World Championship!
(As Charlie reaches the top of the cage, TLA slowly begins to stir. As he wakes up, he sees Charlie, who finally makes it to the top.)
Persephone: Welp. It looks like TLA lost. Should’ve wrestled better. Charlie is starting to pull himself on the other side and climb out-
James Peters: WAIT A SECOND! TLA LEAPS UP ONTO THE TOP ROPE, AND NOW HE QUICKLY PUNCHES CHARLIE IN THE RIB! TLA WITH EVERYTHING HE HAS JUST JUMPED UP ONTO THE TOP ROPE ALL IN AN EFFORT TO STOP CHARLIE FROM GETTING OVER THE CAGE! CHARLIE IS TRYING TO ESCAPE THE CAGE ONCE AGAIN, BUT TLA IS TRYING TO STOP HIM! TLA PUNCHES HIM IN THE RIBS A SECOND TIME, AND NOW HE GRABS HIM BY THE LEG BEFORE BEGINNING TO PULL HIM BACK INTO THE CAGE! IS TLA GOING TO SAVE THIS MATCH AGAIN!? HOW IS HE STILL DOING THIS!?
Rich Russillo: TLA MANAGED TO PULL CHARLIE BACK INTO THE CAGE!!!! TLA PULLS CHARLIE DOWN, AND NOW THESE TWO ARE RIGHT NEXT TO EACH OTHER! BOTH MEN ARE HANGING ONTO THE SIDE OF THE CAGE- BUT CHARLIE CONNECTS WITH AN ELBOW! TLA IS STRUGGLING RIGHT NOW, AND CHARLIE GOES FOR-
James Peters: NO! TLA GRABS CHARLIE BEFORE SLAMMING HIS FACE INTO THE CAGE, AND THAT JUST SHOCKED CHARLIE, CAUSING HIM TO FALL OFF OF THE CAGE AND BACK INTO THE RING!
(While Charlie Marr is down and out on the mat, TLA climbs up to the top of the cage. All of the fans in attendance cheer as loud as they can, and as he reaches the top, TLA stands on top of the cage, staring directly at Charlie Marr.)
James Peters: TLA IS STANDING ON TOP OF THE ELECTRIFIED STEEL CAGE, AND THIS COULD VERY WELL BE THE END!!
Persephone: Then why isn’t he climbing out?
Rich Russillo: :lupe: It looks like… IT LOOKS LIKE TLA ISN’T CLIMBING OUT! HE HAS SOMETHING ELSE PLANNED!!!!
James Peters: 420 FROM THE TOP OF THE CAGE!!!!!!!!! TLA JUST HIT CHARLIE WITH THE SHOOTING STAR PRESS FROM THE TOP OF THE HIGH VOLTAGE CAGE!!!!!!!!! 420 CONNECTS ON THE EAW WORLD CHAMPION, POSSIBLY THE BIGGEST 420 TLA HAS EVER CONNECTED WITH!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: TLA BARELY MANAGES TO HOOK THE LEGS, TO WIN A WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP FOR THE THIRD TIME IN HIS CAREER!!!!!!!
OOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Persephone: :comeagain:
James Peters: WHAT??????
Rich Russillo: NO WAY!!!!!
James Peters: CHARLIE MARR GOT THE SHOULDER UP!!!!!!!! EVEN AFTER A SHOOTING STAR PRESS FROM THE TOP OF THE CAGE, CHARLIE MARR WAS ABLE TO GET THE SHOULDER UP!!!! TLA IS NOT THE EAW WORLD CHAMPION, NOT YET!!!!!
Rich Russillo: HOW IS THIS MATCH NOT OVER!? THIS IS INCREDIBLE! I understand what’s on the line here, but with everything that’s happened, there’s just no way these two are still going!
Persephone: Yeah one of these two should definitely be dead or something by now. I feel like I’ve been scammed.
James Peters: I’m sure TLA would be shocked to see Charlie kick out in normal circumstances, but right now he doesn’t even have enough in him to react. He just slowly rolls off of Charlie, and now both men are just down on the mat, neither of them able to make a move! TLA had the option to escape the cage and instead went with the far more risky decision simply to put a more definitive end to Charlie’s reign. Could that decision have backfired?
Rich Russillo: That’s a good question, but to be honest I don’t think we’ll have the answer to that until this one is over. TLA may not have ended the match there, but until that bell rings this is still anyone’s match, and either one of these men can leave with the EAW World Championship!
Persephone: I think we need some more blood. Can someone throw some thumbtacks into the ring or something?
James Peters: There’s enough blood. Charlie’s literally covered in it. Anyways, TLA is slowly pushing himself back to his feet, and while I think anyone else would be out of ideas at this point, it looks like he’s not! TLA is slowly dragging Charlie up, AND IT LOOKS LIKE HE’S TRYING TO SET UP FOR THE MEXICAN DESTROYER!
Rich Russillo: CHARLIE RUNS INTO THE CORNER THOUGH, RAMMING TLA BACK FIRST INTO THE EXPOSED TURNBUCKLES!!! A DESPERATE MOVE BY CHARLIE WHO CAN’T HAVE MUCH LEFT, AND YET IT WAS ENOUGH TO STOP TLA FROM GOING FOR THE FINISHING MOVE! BOTH MEN ARE DOWN ON THE MAT!
James Peters: I’m sure this match hasn’t been anywhere near as easy as Charlie Marr thought it’d be. Despite their history Charlie was very confident heading into this match, but look at these two now. Both men are using the ropes to start pulling themselves back to their feet, but this match can really go either way right now, as both men can hardly stand. At this rate, we might have our winner decided very soon.
Persephone: It could’ve been decided even sooner, but both of these guys are idiots. I don’t know how this is a World Championship match.
Rich Russillo: Both men are back to their feet, AND WITHOUT WASTING ANY TIME, THEY GO RIGHT AFTER EACH OTHER! BOTH MEN BEGIN PUNCHING AWAY AT EACH OTHER, FIGHTING TO DETERMINE WHO’LL LEAVE THIS CAGE AS THE EAW WORLD CHAMPION! CHARLIE AND TLA ARE TRADING PUNCHES, GOING BACK AND FORTH AS THEY REMAIN ON THEIR FEET! THIS IS A REALLY BACK AND FORTH FIGHT THAT CAN GO EITHER WAY, BUT WHOEVER GAINS THE UPPER HAND HERE MAY JUST WALK OUT OF THIS MATCH WITH THE EAW CHAMPIONSHIP! EVERYTHING IS ON THE LINE HERE IN THIS SHOCK VALUE MAIN EVENT!
James Peters: CHARLIE CONNECTS WITH AN UPPERCUT, BUT TLA RETALIATES WITH A KNEE TO THE MIDSECTION! CHARLIE DROPS TO A KNEE, BUT BEFORE TLA COULD DO ANYTHING, THE CHAMPION BEGINS PUNCHING HIM IN THE RIBS REPEATEDLY! TLA backs off, AND NOW CHARLIE RUSHES IN FOR A BIG BOOT, BUT TLA DUCKS UNDER IT BEFORE RUNNING THE ROPES! CHARLIE TURNS TOWARDS TLA AS TLA BOUNCES OFF OF THE ROPES, AND TLA LOOKS FOR A HUGE JUMPING CLOTHESLINE ON CHARLIE!
Rich Russillo: IT DOESN’T CONNECT THOUGH! CHARLIE DUCKED UNDER IT, AND NOW HE KICKS TLA IN THE MIDSECTION BEFORE PULLING HIM IN! THE QUEEN IS DEAD!!!!
James Peters; NO! TLA IS QUICKLY ABLE TO PUSH CHARLIE OFF OF HIM BEFORE HE COULD HIT THE FINISHING MOVE! CHARLIE IMMEDIATELY TRIES TO RESPOND BY GOING FOR THE CHARING CROSS, BUT TLA DUCKS UNDER IT BEFORE LOOKING FOR ANOTHER CARTEL KICK- WHICH CHARLIE IS ABLE TO CATCH THIS TIME! CHARLIE ROLLS TLA BACK TO HIS FEET- JUST TO APPLY “TRANQUILITY”!!!!! TRANQUILITY IS LOCKED IN ON TLA, AND IF CHARLIE CAN DROP TO THE MAT AND WRAP HIS LEGS AROUND TLA, I DON’T THINK TLA WILL HAVE ENOUGH LEFT IN HIM TO ESCAPE THIS!
Rich Russillo: BOTH MEN ARE STILL LOCKED IN AS THE SUBMISSION IS APPLIED, BUT TLA IS STRUGGLING RIGHT NOW! HE’S ALREADY BEEN ELECTROCUTED SO MANY TIMES, AND HE’S LOST A GOOD AMOUNT OF BLOOD THANKS TO THE EXPOSED TURNBUCKLES! IF HE REMAINS IN THIS SUBMISSION FOR TOO LONG, ESCAPING IT WON’T EVEN BE AN OPTION! TLA IS STARTING TO LOSE HIS FOOTING, AND THERE IT IS! TLA DROPS TO A KNEE, HE MAY BE ON THE VERGE OF PASSING OUT! IS THAT IT FOR TLA!? HE WENT INTO THIS MATCH AIMING TO BECOME A THREE TIME WORLD CHAMPION, IS THIS HOW IT ENDS!?
Persephone: It better not be. A match like this ending with a submission is so boring.
James Peters: WAIT, LOOK! TLA GRABBED CHARLIE, AND HE WAS ABLE TO ONCE AGAIN FREE HIMSELF BY PULLING CHARLIE OFF OF HIM WITH A SNAPMARE! BOTH MEN QUICKLY GET BACK TO THEIR FEET, AND NOW TLA GOES FOR A-
Rich Russillo: THE HEADMASTER RITUAL!!!!! CHARLIE JUST CUT TLA OFF WITH THAT SPINEBUSTER, STOPPING HIM DEAD IN HIS TRACKS BEFORE HE COULD GET ANYTHING GOING!!!! THAT WAS TLA’S OPPORTUNITY TO GET BACK INTO THIS, AND CHARLIE JUST KILLED THAT WITH THAT SPINEBUSTER!
James Peters: This is not good for TLA. Charlie didn’t go for the cover, but he’s still in control of thid match and at this point I’m sure TLA has next to nothing left. I don’t know how either man could even move at this point after hitting that electric cage wall so many times, but either way, I doubt they can keep this up. Charlie Marr clearly had something planned if he’s not pinning TLA, and I don’t think TLA can do anything about it at this point, not with the condition that he’s in!
Persephone: Charlie’s heading to the top rope. Is he gonna try and escape the cage again?
Rich Russillo: Wait a minute. No, Charlie’s not escaping! CHARLIE ID LOOKING DIRECTLY AT TLA, AND IT LOOKS LIKE HE’S SETTING UP FOR THE ONE FINISHING MOVE HE HASN’T ATTEMPTED YET IN THIS MATCH!!!! TLA HASN’T MOVED!!!
James Peters: CHARLIE MARR DIVES OFF THE TOP ROPE!!!! SIN SALIDA!!!!
Rich Russillo: BUT IT DOESN’T CONNECT!!!!! TLA MANAGED TO ROLL OUT OF THE WAY! TLA AVOIDED SIN SALIDA!!!! CHARLIE ROLLS BACK TO HIS FEET AS TLA GETS BACK UP, AND NOW THE CHAMPION CHARGES RIGHT BACK-
James Peters: RIGHT INTO A SWAG SHOT!!!!! TLA JUST SLAPPED CHARLIE MARR IN THE FACE, AND NOW TLA USES THIS AS HIS OPPORTUNITY AS HE PULLS CHARLIE IN FOR SOMETHING!!!!!
Rich Russillo: MEXICAN DESTROYER!!!!!! THE MEXICAN DESTROYER CONNECTS ON CHARLIE MARR FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THIS MATCH, AND THAT HAS TO BE IT!!!!!! TLA PULLS HIMSELF ON TOP OF CHARLIE MARR, AND THAT’S IT!!!! THAT’S GOTTA BE IT, WE HAVE A NEW EAW WORLD CHAMPION AND IT’S NONE OTHER THAN TLA!!!!!!!!
OOOOOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHHRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
James Peters: CHARLIE KICKED OUT!?!?!?
Rich Russillo: HE DID!!!! CHARLIE MARR ACTUALLY KICKED OUT! THAT WAS TLA’S FIRST TIME CONNECTING WITH THE MEXICAN DESTROYER IN THIS MATCH, AND IT DIDN’T WORK!
James Peters: There’s no way! I thought… Wait a minute. What happened to TLA!?
Rich Russillo: TLA is rolling off of Charlie Marr in pain! What happened!? Can we get a replay!?
(A replay is shown of the pinfall that occurred after TLA connected with the Mexican Destroyer. Right before the referee could hit the mat for the third time, Charlie would get his shoulder up. However, in the process he would also deliver a low blow to TLA.)
James Peters: NO! CHARLIE MARR LOW BLOWED TLA!!!! CHARLIE JUST HIT TLA WITH A LOW BLOW DURING THE KICK OUT! HE DIDN’T JUST SURVIVE TLA’S BIGGEST MOVE! HE PLAYED DIRTY AT THE SAME TIME, AND… NO, NOT LIKE THIS!
Rich Russillo: CHARLIE IS BARELY MOVING, BUT HE JUST PULLED HIMSELF ON TOP OF TLA! NOT LIKE THIS!!!!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
TTTHHHHRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
James Peters: AND THIS TIME IT’S TLA THAT SURVIVES!!!!!!
Persephone: Are you serious?
Rich Russillo: THIS IS TLA’S CHANCE TO WIN HIS THIRD WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP, AND HE’S NOT LETTING IT END LIKE THIS!!!! BOTH MEN ARE IN BAD SHAPE NOW, BUT THIS MATCH IS STILL ON AND IT’S STILL ANYONE’S TO WIN!
James Peters: Charlie Marr wastes no time after that kickout, immediately crawling over towards the ropes! Charlie is using the ropes to pull himself up, BUT THAT’S NOT ALL! CHARLIE GRABS ONTO THE CAGE WALL, AND HE BEGINS CLIMBING UP! IT’S AT A FAR SLOWER PACE THAN EARLIER AFTER ALL THE DAMAGE HE’S TAKEN, BUT CHARLIE IS TRYING TO ESCAPE THE CAGE WHILE HE STILL CAN! HE KNOWS HE’S NOT IN GOOD SHAPE AFTER THE MEXICAN DESTROYER, AND HE’S TRYING TO GET OUT OF THERE!
Rich Russillo: BUT LOOK AT TLA! EVEN AFTER EVERYTHING HE’S TAKEN, TLA ISN’T GIVING UP JUST YET! TLA JOINS CHARLIE ON THE SIDE OF THE WALL JUST BEFORE CHARLIE COULD GET TO THE TOP, AND NOW TLA IS FOLLOWING HIM UP TO THE TOP OF THE CAGE! BOTH MEN ARE CLIMBING TO THE TOP OF THE CAGE! ARE WE ABOUT TO SEE A RACE TO THE BOTTOM!?
James Peters: CHARLIE TRIES PULLING HIMSELF OVER TO GET OUT, BUT TLA MAKES IT TO THE TOP AND GRABS HIM- BEFORE CONNECTING WITH AN ELBOW! That caused Charlie to stop in his tracks, and now both men are seated at the top of this electric cage! If their skin comes in contact with that cage, it could completely kill their chances of winning this match!
Rich Russillo: TLA trying to get over the cage, BUT CHARLIE RAKES HIS EYES, BEFORE HITTING HIM WITH A PUNCH RIGHT TO THE JAW! Both men are struggling right now and can’t possibly have much left, BUT AS CHARLIE TRIES TO ESCAPE, TLA GRABS ONTO HIM!
James Peters: CHARLIE TRIES HIS BEST TO FORCE TLA OFF OF HIM, DELIVERING FOREARMS ONE AFTER THE OTHER, BUT TLA RESPONDS WITH A HEADBUTT!!! Charlie nearly fell back into the ring after that, BUT LOOK AT CHARLIE! CHARLIE BEGINS CHOKING OUT TLA ON THE TOP OF THE CAGE!!!!
Rich Russillo: TLA AND CHARLIE ARE FIGHTING ON TOP OF THE CAGE, AND IT LOOKS LIKE CHARLIE HAS THE UPPER HAND HERE AS HE’S CHOKING OUT TLA- BUT WAIT A SECOND! WHAT DID TLA JUST DO!!????
James Peters: TLA PUSHED CHARLIE OFF OF HIM BEFORE TACKLING HIM!!!! TLA JUST FORCED CHARLIE BACKWARDS ONTO THE CAGE, CAUSING BOTH MEN TO TOUCH THE ELECTRIC CAGE!!!!!! TLA’S ARM AND CHARLIE’S BACK BOTH TOUCHED THE CAGE, AND BOTH MEN WERE SHOCKED BY IT! ONE THOUSAND VOLTS JUST HIT BOTH MEN, BUT THAT’S NOT ALL!!!! LOOK AT THIS!!!!!!!
(After being shocked by the electric cage, both TLA and Charlie Marr fall in the same direction, leaning over the cage and falling out to ringside.)
Rich Russillo: BOTH MEN FELL OFF OF THE ELECTRIC CAGE!!!!! THIS MATCH IS OVER… BUT WHO WON!?!? ONE MAN HAD TO HAVE HIT THE FLOOR FIRST!?
Persephone: HIGH VOLTAGE CAN’T END IN A DRAW! THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE ONE OF THE BETTER MATCHES!
James Peters: ONE MAN WON HIGH VOLTAGE, BUT BOTH MEN ESCAPED THE CAGE!!! WHO IS IT, THOUGH!?!? WHO IS THE EAW WORLD CHAMPION!?!?
(………..)
(…………….)
(………..)
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
(The fans go silent, in shock following the ending of that match. They have no idea who won. However, the official at ringside examines the two competitors, before walking over to Bella Braxton. The two share a few words, before finally, Bella begins speaking into the microphone.)
James Peters: :lupe:
Rich Russillo: :lupe:
Bella Braxton: Here is your winner….
(The fans remain silent, waiting in anticipation to see who the EAW World Champion is.)
Bella Braxton: AND…………………………….
(…………..)
(………………..)
Bella Braxton: STTTIIIIIIILLLLLLLLLLLL YOUR EAW WORLD CHAMPION!!!!!! CHAAARRRRLLLLIIIEEEEEEE MMMAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!
(The fans in attendance are stunned, however, boos slowly but surely start to flood the crowd. The camera would cut to the two competitors in the match, and that’s when everything is revealed. While both men made it out of the cage, in order to have officially escaped both of your feet have to touch the ground. Charlie met those conditions, but TLA had unfortunately landed on top of Charlie, stopping him from doing the same.)
James Peters: NO WAY!!!!!! CHARLIE MARR RETAINS, BUT I DON’T THINK HE COULD HAVE BEEN ANY LUCKIER THAN THAT! BOTH MEN GOT OUT OF THE CAGE, BUT CHARLIE WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE THE ONE WHOSE FEET HIT THE FLOOR FIRST!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: THEY BOTH FELL AT THE SAME TIME, BUT BECAUSE OF HOW THEY FELL, TLA ENDED UP ON TOP OF CHARLIE! THIS WAS THE DEFINITION OF A MATCH THAT COULD’VE ENDED EITHER WAY, AND UNFORTUNATELY FOR TLA, TONIGHT IT ENDED WITH CHARLIE MARR RETAINING HIS CHAMPIONSHIP!
Persephone: :mjlol: How did he screw that up???
James Peters: It wouldn’t be fair to say Charlie Marr defeated TLA tonight. Charlie Marr ESCAPED TLA, and barely kept his Championship reign intact! TLA is not the EAW World Champion, but it’s not his fault at all. This was as close as a match could get, but ultimately, Charlie Marr is still the EAW Champion!
(‘It Ain’t Safe’ hits, but the theme can barely be heard thanks to all of the boos coming from the fans in attendance. Neither Charlie nor TLA have moved after hitting the floor, and officials begin rushing out to help the two competitors. However, despite the condition both men are in, there was still a winner, and that winner was Charlie Marr. As the officials tend to Charlie and TLA, the increasingly loud boos continue, and Shock Value begins to fade out.)
(EAW logo buzzes.)
