(EAW intro plays…)
(As always, we begin with a recap of last week’s episode which began with Dr. Bethany Blue reflecting on her successful title defense the week prior, acknowledging Ayu Megumi’s resilience. She pivots to her challenger for Territorial Invasion and doubts whether or not Miku Sakai has what it takes to thrive all on her own accord. Bethany declares that the stipulation for the title match will be a Lumberjack match, only this time the ring will be surrounded with nurses. Though she concedes and opts to give Miku a helping hand, granting her the ability to also have Simps backing her around the ring in a split. The first match of the evening saw a dominant Roberto De La Rosa defeat Strawberry Steve with relative ease, picking up his first victory here in Elite Answers Wrestling. Following this, Hurricane Hawk would announce that come Territorial Invasion, Showdown would compete in a Divide & Conquer match as he elected MITSUBACHI to be the one to lead the team. Immediately following this, MITSUBACHI would face off against the Number One Contender to the Answers World Championship, Limmy Monaghan. Despite the previous week’s optimistic effort, Monaghan was quickly able to put away the new captain of the Divide & Conquer team. Next, following her defeat the week prior in the Specialists Championship match, Ayu Megumi was interviewed by Kyra Phillips. The fledgling was disappointed by her defeat against Dr. Bethany Blue, deeply apologetic for falling short. However, her disappointment would soon be shelved as Adam Lucas and Hurricane Hawk officially welcomed her as the final member of the Showdown team for Brand Warfare. Though her elation would be momentary as Harper Lee sought to spoil the moment, bitterly frustrated that she wasn’t consulted and implying Hawk broke his declaration of team Showdown not having a captain. Harper questioned whether or not Megumi was up to the task. Megumi didn’t back down as Harper proposed a match for this week to which Megumi gladly accepted. Following this, two members of the Brand Warfare team, Amir Yusuf and Jon Kelton squared off against newfound allies TLA and Cameron Ella Ava. In a highly competitive tag team match, it would be potentially spoiled by the arrival of Ad Infinitum, Veena Adams and Charlie Marr. But the distraction wasn’t enough as TLA and Cameron pulled off the victory! After her loss the previous week to Veena Adams, Ashley Flores wasn’t in the best of moods as General Manager Hurricane Hawk approached her with a unique opportunity for Clash of Kingdoms II: Shores of Gold. Hawk informed her that she had been selected to compete against a member of Voltage in a special, history making match. Flores would however only accept it under the premise that she would be greatly rewarded for her sure victory, suggesting that she doesn’t care if it’s ‘blood money’. In the main event, Ad Infinitum’s Charlie Marr would face the Answers World Champion Kassidy Heart with her challenger for Territorial Invasion, Limmy Monaghan sitting at ringside joining the commentary team. In a tough competitive match, TLA and Cameron Ella Ava would look to return the favour from earlier in the evening by making their presence known. Only this time, their appearance would lead to Charlie Marr abandoning the match and choosing to join Veena Adams in confronting their bitter rivals. In the midst of the chaos, Monaghan sought to land another blow by attacking the Answers World Champion yet this time the Champion was much more aware and the two would require security to keep them separated. The chaos of Showdown faded to a historic announcement. All three members of the Showdown Territorial Invasion main event team – Theron Nikolas, Impact and Lethal Consequences – scattered themselves throughout Tiger Stadium, the venue for the event. All three men spoke about the three brands, Theron on Showdown and their unity, Impact reminiscing about his past battles with New Eden this year and Lethal Consequences about his prior victories over members of the Dynasty team. Finally, all three men revealed that the main event for this year’s show will not be War Games as previously but instead, it will be the first ever Stadium Stampede!)
(‘Brick Wall’ by A Day To Remember hits as the Saturday Night Showdown graphic loop plays. It cuts to an overview of the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia as the typical blue and white pyrotechnics light up the stage in a series of memorising patterns before several final bursts of pyro almost render the stage hidden. Through the smoke haze remaining, a large number of bright lights shine through illuminating the venue as the crowd goes wild for the beginning of the show. Once again Showdown is live in front of a capacity crowd. The camera continues to fade between various shots of the live audience)
Deadprez: TWO WEEKS AWAY FROM TERRITORIAL INVASION AND THINGS ARE REACHING THEIR CLIMATIC END! HELLO AND WELCOME TO ANOTHER EPISODE OF SATURDAY NIGHT SHOWDOWN, LIVE FROM THE STATE FARM ARENA HERE IN ATLANTA GEORGIA! I’M DEADPREZ JOINED AS ALWAYS BY EVE AND GAVIN KIRKLAND!
Gavin Kirkland: It’s that time of the year where brand supremacy is up for grabs and the first shots at bragging rights are on the line as Impact looks to give Showdown a big boost of momentum heading into Stadium Stampede as he takes on New Eden’s Myles and Dynasty’s Andre Walker! Not only that, it’s Justin Windgate returning to Showdown to take on Jon Kelton! Both matches have high stakes involved and Team Showdown’s superiority will be made clear I’m sure!
Eve: But the Brand Warfare team is going to have to sort out it’s biggest issue: Harper Lee. Who didn’t take kindly to Ayu Megumi being announced as the final member of the team and those two are set to settle their issue here tonight. As well as an apparently ‘history-making’ offer from Ad Infinitum that the word is, TLA and Cameron Ella Ava will just flat out be unable to refuse for Clash of Kingdoms II: Shores of Gold, the event STRAIGHT after Territorial Invasion in two weeks time!
Deadprez: But right here, right now we’re kicking things off with the Number One Contender to the Answers World Championship, Limmy Monaghan!!!
(As the lights of the Showdown brand continue to race around, they suddenly come to a halt, raising the crowd’s anticipation for what’s to come. Instead, the camera fades to the backstage area, the audience’s elated cheers for Limmy Monaghan and Walter Bivens being revealed heading towards the ring echo in the background. However, Limmy comes to a pause and cautiously stops Walter in his tracks, reaching out but avoiding to touch the injured arm wrapped in a sling still)
Limmy Monaghan: You don’t need to head out there. You know as well as anyone just how dangerous Kassidy Heart can be and I don’t need you finding yourself in a position where that arm gets injured again.
Walter Bivens: :mjlol:!!!! What is she going to do? She can’t touch me, she can’t do a thing to me. That Answers World Championship is too important to her to risk losing her cool and having it taken away. It doesn’t matter if it’s there in the ring or right here, I’m perfectly fine. Don’t worry.
Limmy Monaghan: Right…but just this once. I’d rather meet her face to face,
(Walter shrugs his one good arm and smiles, accepting Limmy’s plea)
Walter Bivens: Alright. Alright, not a problem. Just take care of yourself out there and don’t do anything stupid.
(Limmy can’t help but grin, his confidence sky high as he heads further down the tunnel and straight to the ring. The camera dissolves back to the arena where the crowd’s excitement rises before erupting into a chorus of cheers as ‘King’s Dead’ by Jay Rock, Kendrick Lamar, Future, James Blake booms through the arena’s PA system and Limmy Monaghan emerges alone onto the stage. He embraces the warm, positive reception and makes his way down to the ring)
Gina Romano: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN PLEASE WELCOME THE NUMBER ONE CONTENDER TO THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP!!! ‘THE MONARCH’ LIMMY MMMOOOONNNNNAAAGGGGHHHHHAAAANNNNNN!!!!!!!!
Deadprez: In just two weeks time, the biggest match in the career of Limmy Monaghan will take place. The Monarch, the current Number One Contender to the Answers World Champion, will step face to face with the ‘King’, Kassidy Heart. He believes his time has arrived, his moment won’t be delayed any longer, there is only one outcome that awaits him at Territorial Invasion and that is becoming the Answers World Champion.
Gavin Kirkland: We’ve all seen so many in the same position that Monaghan is in over the years. The young, emerging Elitists whose rise to the top has been steady, watching every step taken from the bottom right to the top and Limmy Monaghan has the chance to cement himself as one of the best of this new generation of Elitists becoming staples of the main event.
Eve: But there’s zero doubt in anyone’s mind that the Champion herself isn’t going to just be an easy obstacle to overcome. This just isn’t an ordinary World Champion we have on our brand, her 2021 year has been one of the all time greats of any man or woman; it’s been filled with history making moments, unfathomable moments becoming a reality. She won’t be giving her Championship away so soon, she won’t just hand it over to allow another generation to succeed at her expense!
(‘King’s Dead’ by Jay Rock, Kendrick Lamar, Future, James Blake begins to die down as Limmy takes his place in the center of the ring, with a microphone firmly gripped in one hand. Left with only the roar of the fans, Limmy takes a moment to ponder his thoughts before beginning)
Limmy Monaghan: In two weeks, the long journey I’ve made to reach the very top of the mountain here in EAW comes to its end. From the Grand Athletes, to the PURE Championship and Insurgency and any and all shortcomings along the way, not a single part of this journey is worth changing, everything has been important to getting me to where I am right now. But, for as much as I wouldn’t have changed anything that I endured, this season provided the opportunity to change. A change necessary to become something far greater than I was, taking individual steps along the way and instead taking a giant leap towards all those ambitions I have always held. And there is only one outcome that change can have and that’s when I defeat Kassidy Heart and I become the Answers World Champion.
Crowd: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
(Limmy grins, enjoying the positive reaction but raises his hand slightly, gesturing them to ease before he speaks again)
Limmy Monaghan: I’ve already made this clear, but it’s worth repeating again. There’s no better way of capping off my ascension to the top to become a World Champion by defeating the woman who tapped out Jamie O’Hara of all people. There’s no better way to prove to the world that this is now my world, my time, my era than defeating the woman who has had one of the very best calendar years of all time. It’s the legacy of the ‘King’ that will only make my inevitable victory, my inevitable moment of standing tall as the Answers World Champion that much more important, that much more satisfying. Kassidy, I know that the last thing that you despise is being treated like a joke. I would too if I was treated as such for the majority of my career. I’ve left Walter behind for the sake of giving you a little bit of security, a little bit of reassurance that you can come and meet me here in this ring tonight and we can have a little face to face time.
(The crowd roars with approval as a confident smirk pops up on Limmy’s face)
Limmy Monaghan: My Saturday Night Showdown brand has a big show tonight and I don’t want to waste the good people’s time. So please, with all due respect, act like a Champion and come and meet your challenger! Come meet the man who is about to overthrow a despot and claim your title!
(Limmy drops the microphone and turns his attention to the stage, stretching both arms out and gesturing for Kassidy to come to the ring…but he’s met with no response)
Gavin Kirkland: :mjlol: :mjlol: :mjlol: !!!!! OF COURSE SHE ISN’T COMING DOWN HERE! WHAT A COWARD! THE CHAMPION DOESN’T HAVE IT IN HER TO MEET HER CHALLENGER AND MAYBE CALLING HER A COWARD IS HARSH BECAUSE IT’S COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY UNDERSTANDABLE!
(The crowd begins to boo softly as there continues to be no response from Kassidy Heart. Monaghan drops his arms and begins to turn to the crowd, encouraging them more and more to boo louder and louder until…)
Clap
Clap
Clap
…
Clap
(The audience boos heavily as the camera turns to the titantron where Kassidy Heart is standing with a confident look dashed across her face. The Answers World Champion continues to clap Limmy for his bold confidence)
Kassidy Heart: It’s endearing to see this kind of confidence from you Limmy, even if it’s all entirely misplaced. Ever since you freed yourself from Jake Smith and Insurgency, that confidence that you exhibit has grown…and grown without reason. It’s all well and good that you embrace the change that this new season brought for you but what good is change when you can’t quite back it up? Truth is that I remain as unconvinced that you can threaten me for this Championship as I did after Midsummer Massacre, almost to the point where I don’t believe you have actually changed at all, Limmy. Insurgency was just all talk, wasn’t it? You lot spoke for months on end, envisioning sweeping change and as much as you may want to pin all of that on Jake Smith, all this season has been since has been talk. Just like then, you’ve continued your fun and games, you’ve continued to take your opportunities as they’ve presented themselves but all it has led to is unjustified confidence. Reality is, you’re not any different to Jake Smith…huh?
Limmy Monaghan: Adorable, Kassidy. But how about you walk down here, and say that again?
(The crowd’s enthusiasm rises but it’s quickly drowned out by Kassidy’s laugh)
Kassidy Heart: Absolutely not. I’ve got no interest in wasting my time going down to that ring. Given what has happened each time you and I have crossed paths, I just don’t think it’s in my best interests. That’s why I’m here. You can hold onto all the bitterness and frustration being compared to Smith and anything else that upsets you until Territorial Invasion, I don’t plan on handing you any more openings to get the jump on me. Not this week, not next week, not any moment leading up to our match. But what I want to make clear, Limmy, is one thing. From taking your chances to attack me from behind to having Walter be your messenger and to the ‘legal’ threats the two of you made thinking that it’s going to hinder me, these games are getting fucking tiring; they’re going to end right now. Because when Territorial Invasion comes, everything you’ve done until this point will be just about meaningless.
(Kassidy begins to make her way down the hallway she’s situated in. In the distance, banging can be heard softly but Kassidy pays no attention)
Kassidy Heart: All your ambitions of becoming the Answers World Champion will snap in an instant when I get my hands on you. You said just as much, my year has been one that so few in this company’s history can ever say they’ve had. I can even confidently say that not even the man I defeated in the main event of Pain For Pride had a year that I’ve had. Making history left and right and I’m not anywhere close to being down. In two weeks Limmy I’m going to reduce you down to nothing more than a footnote, yet another answer to a trivia question, this time it’s going to be a name that I defeated on my way to becoming the greatest to ever do it.
BANG
BANG
BANG
(As Kassidy ventures down the hallway, the banging becomes louder and louder until she stops at a simple door. She turns her attention to the door, a sinister smirk washes across her face. Back in the ring, Limmy tenses up, staring up at the big screen and doing his best to stop himself from rushing head first backstage)
Kassidy Heart: Oh this? Yeah about those games? I might have told a bit of a lie there for a second because I just have one more game to play myself.
(Kassidy reaches into her back pocket and pulls out rolled up papers. She unfolded them before raising the legal document handed to her several weeks ago by Walter. Her eyes scan up and down the page begrudgingly as she turns her attention back to the camera)
Kassidy Heart: You see, I don’t believe for a second that this ‘threat’ is worth the paper it’s printed on. After all, I was the one originally provoked in the first place. Everything that happened to poor Walter was a direct result of his arrogance and delusion, thinking that he had any right being able to dictate terms to the King of all people. So who in their right mind would sign off on such a legal restriction? And so, I decided to test that theory a little bit. Because after all, he’s just a frail old geezer with one arm barely recovering from surgery isn’t he? And if you’re not there to look out for him, then who is?
Limmy Monaghan: You’re going to tell me that you’re willing to risk your reign as the Answers World Champion on that kind of chance? Don’t be ridiculous.
(Kassidy chuckles to herself as Limmy’s brief confident look fades back to trying to contain a worried look)
Kassidy Heart: Your eyes aren’t exactly giving me or anyone confidence. Don’t believe me? Well, let’s just see how confident you truly are.
(Kassidy drives her fist into the door and immediately the banging comes to a stop. After a moment, she opens the door and heads into the room. Inside the ring, Limmy hesitates for a moment, his eyes locked on the giant screen)
Gavin Kirkland: This bitch and her games are taking it a step too far! This is surely eating Monaghan up inside; he’s absolutely right, there’s no way that Kassidy would risk her Answers World Championship but there’s no way that Limmy Monaghan can be so sure!
Deadprez: AND YOU’RE RIGHT, GAVIN, MONAGHAN CAN’T BE SO SURE AND HE CAN’T WAIT ANY LONGER. HE ISN’T GOING TO TAKE THE CHANCE AS HE BOLTS OUT OF THE RING AND IMMEDIATELY UP THE RAMP! THE CROWD STANDING AND ENCOURAGING HIM, A LOOK OF CONCERN FINALLY BREAKING THROUGH AS MONAGHAN DISAPPEARS BEHIND THE CURTAIN! AN INTENSE START TO THIS EPISODE OF SATURDAY NIGHT SHOWDOWN ONLY TWO WEEKS AWAY FROM THIS MUCH ANTICIPATED ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH!
(The cameras catch up with Monaghan backstage, frantic as he exits out of the dark tunnel leading to the stage. He looks around the area he last left Bivens, running his hands through his hair and looking to remain calm and composed)
Eve: The State Farm Arena is massive, you could easily get lost in the bowels of it for hours on end. Nondescript doors are everywhere, Kassidy Heart could be in the farthest reaches of the arena for all Limmy knows!
Deadprez: As calm and composed as Monaghan is trying to stay, you can see the struggle trying to keep the obvious concern he has under wraps. It wouldn’t be a shock to anyone to think that the threat made by Bivens to Kassidy two weeks ago was always a falsehood, but Kassidy Heart has shown herself to show no mercy to those who cross her, to take any and every risk possible!
(Limmy continues to wander through the backstage area of the State Farm Arena, desperately searching for where he believes Kassidy Heart might have taken Walter Bivens. Eventually Limmy emerges from a hallway and into a semi-large open area)
???: Kiddo, what’s the problem? You’re looking all frantic.
(Monaghan comes to a stop in his tracks, a look of relief as he sees Walter Bivens resting against a series of equipment crates.)
Limmy Monaghan: Thank goodness you’re alright. You haven’t seen Kassidy around here, right? She didn’t touch you or intimidate you or anything?
Walter Bivens: Of course I’m alright! What did you think was going to happen to me? Like I told you, Kassidy Heart can’t and won’t do anything to me so what’s the fuss all about? Now listen, I’ve been thinking of a strategy to take down Kassidy at Territorial Invasion and I think our best shot is to–
Limmy Monaghan: Weren’t you watching?
(A confused look on Limmy’s face is met equally by a bewildered expression by Bivens)
Walter Bivens: Of course! You hit a home run out there and have every reason to be confident in yourself heading into Territorial Invasion. Great stuff all round. Back to what I was saying…
Limmy Monaghan: 😐
CRACK
Deadprez: KASSIDY HEART FROM BEHIND JUST SMASHED A LIGHT TUBE ACROSS THE BACK OF LIMMY MONAGHAN’S SKULL! FUCK! THE GLASS SHATTERS RIGHT BEFORE THE EYES OF BIVENS WHO IS IN UTTER DISBELIEF.
Eve: KASSIDY MAKE IT CLEAR THAT SHE WAS PLAYING ONE LAST GAME WITH MONAGHAN AND THIS IS IT. LURING HIM BACKSTAGE AND POUNCING ON HIM KNOWING FULL WELL THAT BIVENS ISN’T IN ANY WAY CAPABLE OF STOPPING HER!
(Walter slowly becomes enraged at the sight of Limmy being floored by Kassidy but Kassidy raises the broken end of the light tube up to Bivens. The sharp, jagged edges of the tube being pointed right to the throat of Bivens who takes a step back immediately)
Kassidy Heart: You two have had your fun and now it’s my turn.
(Kassidy grabs Limmy by the hair and drags him back to his feet, dazed and disorientated)
Deadprez: THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION NOT SHOWING AN OUNCE OF REMORSE, DRIVING THE KNEE TO THE MIDSECTION BEFORE GRATING MONAGHAN’S FACE ALONG THE STEEL OUTLINE OF THE EQUIPMENT CASES! THE EDGES ALMOST RIPPING THE SKIN ON THE FACE OF MONAGHAN APART BEFORE SHE TOSSES HIM STRAIGHT INTO ROWS OF EXCESS CHAIRS OF THE ARENA!
Gavin Kirkland: THAT COWARDLY LIGHT TUBE SHOT IS MAKING IT UTTERLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR MONAGHAN TO DEFEND HIMSELF! HE WAS JUST DEAD WEIGHT BEING FLUNG INTO THOSE CHAIRS AS THEY SCATTER AWAY ON IMPACT! BIVENS IS FOLLOWING BEHIND, CLEARLY CONCERNED BUT CAN DO SO LITTLE FOR MONAGHAN AT THIS MOMENT!
Eve: THIS IS THE RELEASE OF SO MUCH FRUSTRATION BEING TOYED WITH BY BIVENS AND MONAGHAN FOR WEEKS, EVER SINCE MIDSUMMER MASSACRE BEFORE SHE HAD SUCCESSFULLY DEFENDED HER TITLE AGAINST TLA.
Deadprez: KASSIDY AGAIN DRAGS THE NEAR LIFELESS MONAGHAN TO HIS FEET, HIS BLOOD BEGINNING TO STAIN THE BACK OF HIS CURLY HAIR AS HE CAN’T EVEN OFFER THE MOST SIMPLE OF RESISTANCE! KASS DRAGS HIM FURTHER DOWN THE HALLWAY– BUT MONAGHAN FINDS SOME LIFE, DROPS THE SHOULDER AND DRIVES KASSIDY INTO THE WALL! A LARGE DENT BEING LEFT IN THE WALL BY THE IMPACT!
Eve: MONAGHAN FIRES AWAY WITH A STIFF RIGHT SHOT, FOLLOWED BY A SECOND AND THIRD! KASSIDY TRYING TO COVER UP BUT THEY’RE DOING ENOUGH DAMAGE TO SEE HER SLUMP JUST A LITTLE CLOSER TO THE FLOOR!
(Bivens recognises the window of opportunity the two have and takes Monaghan by the arm, dragging him away from Kassidy and, to him, hopefully to safety)
Deadprez: BUT KASSIDY WON’T ALLOW THE TWO TO ESCAPE! SHE TAKES A CONTAINER AND IMMEDIATELY DRIVES IT IN THE BACK OF MONAGHAN’S LEGS AND IT ALSO SENDS BIVENS TUMBLING TO THE GROUND! HE CLUTCHES THAT RIGHT ARM AS MONAGHAN LAYS OVER THE CONTAINER! KASSIDY DROPPING ELBOW SHOTS ACROSS THE THROAT OF HER CHALLENGER! MONAGHAN AGAIN BARELY ABLE TO DEFEND HIMSELF!
(Kassidy begins to wheel Monaghan back towards the tunnel to the ringside area until…)
Eve: HEART DRIVES THE CONTAINER STRAIGHT THROUGH EVEN MORE CHAIRS LINED UP BACKSTAGE, T-T-THE COMMUNAL AREA MANY GATHER TO WATCH THE SHOW — ELITISTS AND SHOWDOWN STAFF SCRAMBLE OUT OF THE WAY AS MONAGHAN COMES TO A CRASHING HALT JUST BELOW THE GIANT TELEVISION.
Gavin Kirkland: The wicked intentions of Kassidy Heart have me gravely concerned about the welfare of Limmy! He’s barely been able to fight back, completely at the mercy of the Champion!
(Kassidy once again looks to drag Monaghan back to his feet, but her eyes catch the perilous nature of the television above Monaghan. A sickening grin dashes across her face as she begins to tilt the television forward…)
Deadprez: OH MY GOD SHE’S GOING TO SMASH THAT SOME FIFTY INCH TELEVISION ACROSS THE BODY, THE HEAD EVEN OF LIMMY MONAGHAN! IF THAT HAPPENS, HE WON’T BE MAKING IT TO TERRITORIAL INVASION WHATSOEVER!
(Immediately, Walter Bivens scrambles towards Kassidy. He trips and stumbles to his knees)
Walter Bivens: KASS, STOP. PLEASE. STOP. THIS IS GOING TOO FAR.
Kassidy Heart: no 💖–
Gavin Kirkland: YES! YES! LIMMY HAS ENOUGH LEFT IN THE TANK AND FIRES A KICK AT THE RIBS OF HEART AS SHE’S DISTRACTED! KASSIDY IMMEDIATELY TRIES TO REGAIN COMPLETE CONTROL BUT MONAGHAN STAGGERS TO HIS FEET, HE STEPS OUT OF THE WAY AND SENDS KASSIDY CRASHING INTO THE TELEVISION!
Deadprez: MONAGHAN BARELY ESCAPING AND MIGHT HAVE JUST DONE ENOUGH TO PUT AN END TO KASSIDY’S ASSAULT! WALTER AGAIN TRYING TO ASSIST MONAGHAN TO HIS FEET AS THE TWO ONCE MORE LOOKING TO ESCAPE– THIS TIME MONAGHAN PULLS WALTER BACK TOWARDS THE RINGSIDE AREA!
Eve: I don’t think that’s going to be enough to stop Kassidy Heart! The Answers World Champion down.
(The camera fades back to an overview of the State Farm Arena before cutting right to the stage where Limmy and Walter emerge–)
Deadprez: AGAIN KASSIDY HEART BLINDSIDES LIMMY MONAGHAN THIS TIME FROM THE SIDE OF THE STAGE! SHE DRIVES THE RIGHT FOREARM DOWN ONTO OF MONAGHAN BEFORE TAKING HIS HEAD AND TRYING TO BASH IT INTO THE STEEL GRATING OF THE STAGE! OVER AND OVER AGAIN, THE STEEL BEING TURNED CRIMSON FROM THE WOUND ON THE BACK OF MONAGHAN’S SKULL! WALTER THOUGH–
(Suddenly the crowd roars with vocal cheers)
Gavin Kirkland: FUCK. YES. KASSIDY STRUCK WALTER BIVENS! SHE DID IT! THE DUMBASS DID IT! SHE’S GOING TO BE STRIPPED OF THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP!!!
Eve: NO WAIT! KASSIDY JUST, JUST WITH ENOUGH RESTRAINT AND STOPS HERSELF FROM LANDING A STRIKE! WALTER’S EYES CAN’T BELIEVE IT, HE WAS SO CLOSE TO ENDING KASSIDY HEART’S REIGN AS CHAMPION BUT THE CHAMPION HERSELF REFUSES TO LET HIM GET THE BETTER OF HER.
(Walter grins, knowing full well how much Kassidy Heart wants to strike him)
Walter Bivens: Do it…DO IT. HIT ME. I KNOW YOU WANT TO, EVERYONE KNOWS YOU WANT TO! RIGHT HERE, RIGHT ON THE CHEEK, I PROMISE I WON’T FLINCH AND YOU MIGHT AS WELL LAND TWO OR THREE OR FOUR OR AS MANY AS YOU GOD DAMN WANT BECAUSE JUST ONE PUNCH IS GOING TO BE ENOUGH. COME ON KASSIDY, COME ON MAULER, COME ON ‘KING’, COME ON CONQUEROR.
(Kassidy instead shakes her head and turns her focus back to Limmy Monaghan. She takes one arm and traps it, slowly turning her eyes back to Walter for a brief moment and the crowd slowly begins to boo louder and louder fearing what’s coming next)
Eve: I…I hate the look of the eyes of the Answers World Champion. At this point we’re well and truly aware of what comes next when she traps the arm like that! Limmy Monaghan is barely showing any life, barely showing any resistance.
Deadprez: KASSIDY GRIPS THE ARM AND DROPS BACK, ‘THANK U, NEXT’ IS LOCKED IN WELL AND TRULY ON LIMMY MONAGHAN, DEAD CENTER OF THE STAGE! THE MOVE THAT SHATTERED THE ARM OF JALYN GARCIA BEYOND REPAIR, THE MOVE THAT TAPPED OUT THE ACE, THE MOVE THAT TORE THE ROTATOR CUFF OF BIVENS IS FIRMLY LOCKED IN ON THE CHALLENGER! COULD THIS BE WHAT AWAITS LIMMY MONAGHAN AT TERRITORIAL INVASION!
Gavin Kirkland: SHE MIGHT JUST MAKE IT SO THAT HE CAN’T EVEN MAKE IT TO BEGIN WITH!
Deadprez: WALTER IMMEDIATELY TRIES TO LAY THE BOOT INTO KASSIDY HEART, BUT THEY WON’T DETER THE CHAMPION AND HER WICKED INTENTIONS! OVER AND OVER AGAIN, TRYING TO BREAK THE SUBMISSION HOLD OF THE CHAMPION TO NO AVAIL. THEY’RE PATHETICALLY USELESS KASSIDY WILLINGLY ACCEPTS EACH ATTEMPT THAT’S ONLY FOLLY. AS SHE CINCHES IT IN DEEPER.
Eve: WE’RE GOING TO NEED HELP OUT HERE, SOMEONE TO BREAK THIS UP THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN BROKEN UP LONG, LONG AGO, BEFORE IT EVEN GOT THIS FAR!!
(Just like last week, a crowd of referees and security personnel swarm the stage, trying to break Kassidy Heart away from Limmy Monaghan.)
Deadprez: OFFICIALS DESPERATELY TRYING TO PRY THE KING AWAY FROM THE MONARCH, OR RATHER THE MAN WHO WISHES TO CREATE A NEW MONARCH. BUT THE CHAMPION WON’T ALLOW THEM TO, SHE’S STUBBORNLY DIGGING HER HEELS IN, CINCHING THE HOLD IN DEEPER AND DEEPER TRYING TO INFLICT AS MUCH HARM AS POSSIBLE. MONAGHAN IS BARELY RESPONSIVE, SHE’S PROVED HER POINT ENOUGH ALREADY!
Eve: THE GAMES, THE REPEATED TOYING WITH HER HAS INEVITABLY BITEN THE PAIR AND KASSIDY DOESN’T SHOW ANY SIGNS OF GIVING UP.
(Finally the officials break the hold. Kassidy lashes out, kicking towards Monaghan who remains almost terrifyingly still. She’s dragged away as others begin to tend to Monaghan. ‘Monster’ by Kanye West hits and the crowd shows the Answers World Champion in boos)
Deadprez: MONAGHAN HAS JUST TWO WEEKS UNTIL HIS DATE WITH FATE BUT AS IT STANDS, KASSIDY HEART IS GOING TO BE MAKING IT CLEAR THAT HIS TIME, HIS MOMENT TO BECOME THE WORLD CHAMPION IS GOING TO BE WAITING JUST A LITTLE LONGER!
Gavin Kirkland: B…but Limmy is my boy! I have so much riding on him defeating Kassidy Heart! We all do! There’s no way that he can allow himself to get trapped in that submission hold that has done so, so much damage for months!
(Walter helps tend to Limmy Monaghan as Kassidy Heart tries to remain in viewing distance of her prey being helped. The crowd continues to boo loud enough to almost down ‘Monster’ out as the camera fades to commercial)
(The camera cuts to the center of the ring, which holds a smiling Gina Romano with a mic in hand, ready to announce the competitors for the first match of the night as the crowd roars in anticipation.)
Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR…ONE FALL!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!
(‘Dance Away’ by Damn Valentine plays to a mixed reaction from the EAW fans, some not knowing what to make of the newcomer, who steps out from behind the curtain, laser focused on his match tonight with De La Rosa, as evident from his walk to the ring.)
Gina Romano: Introducing first! Hailing out of Lake Placid, New York, weighing in at 198 pounds…HE IS THE INFAMOUS…LUCAS NOAH!!
Eve: Ya know, not much is known about Lucas Noah, just besides the fact that tonight will be his first match in EAW, and he certainly has his work cut out for him as he goes up against Roberto De La Rosa, who has proven himself to be no slouch in that ring.
Deadprez: Yeah, Roberto has some momentum going for him right now, but the thing about momentum is how you can never quite know when it’ll come to an abrupt halt, and tonight could be that night.
Eve: You’re certainly right, a guy like Noah has a chip on his shoulder a mile wide, and if he wants to impress, he needs to topple Rosa in his debut match here.
Gavin Kirkland: Speaking of Rosa, let’s just say I’m excited to see him make his way out the curtain…
(Gavin pulls out the jerkins and paper towels, clearly excited to see only Esmeralda, however, Eve clears the items off the table, much to the dismay of Gavin.)
Eve: The show has literally JUST started, can you atleast try to be professional?
Gavin Kirkland: :will: Fine.
(‘Dance Away’ soon fades out, and is replaced with ‘Ser Real’ – Oscar Cortez Ft. T3R Elemento as Roberto begins to make his way down to the ring, trailed by his valet in Esmeralda, who gets a few cat call whistles from the packed State Farm Arena, but nonetheless, the two share the same focus that Noah did, both competitors wanting to walk out with the win tonight.)
Gina Romano: And his opponent! Hailing out of Hidalgo, Mexico, weighing in at 245 pounds, accompanied to the ring by Esmeralda De La Rosa…EL PADRASTRO…ROBERTO DE LA ROSA!!
Gavin Kirkland: OH MY GOD! THE LEGS ON THAT WOMAN! I-
(Gavin falls out of his chair, quickly jumping back up, having gotten a bit too excited.)
Eve: What happened to being professional?
Gavin Kirkland: We never shook on it!
Eve: :wow:
Deadprez: Contrary to what Gavin thinks, we’re not here to pay attention to Esmeralda, but rather Roberto, who looks to add another win to his resume tonight, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he does, you can tell just by looking at him he’s a bad bad dude.
Eve: Yeah, if he sticks around on Showdown, he’ll certainly be someone to have an eye out for, because after all, Showdown is a place for opportunity following the departure of Ryan Wilson.
Deadprez: Don’t remind me of those days.
(Roberto steps into the ring as his music fades out, and he stares across the ring at Noah, who bounces up and down in his corner, preparing for the task ahead as the referee checks on both men to ensure they’re ready before signaling the timekeeper to ring the bell.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Eve: The bell has rung, and the time for talk is over, not that Noah Lucas has done much of it, however. :mjgrin: But regardless, both men circle each other to the center of the ring where Rosa raises his hand for a test of strength with Lucas, who locks his hand with Roberto’s, only to attempt a cheap shot in a kick to the midsection, however, Roberto anticipated it, catching the foot of Lucas before spinning him around for a 360, trapping him in a standing side headlock as he faces towards Rosa once more.
Deadprez: And early on, Lucas is in trouble, but it seems as if he realizes it, bouncing Rosa off the ropes to escape that headlock, but that might’ve done him more harm than good as Roberto rebounds with a big boot, temporarily taking Lucas down, forcing him to try and regroup in that corner, but Rosa is in hot pursuit, not looking to give his opponent a moment to breathe, now just hammering him with forearms in that corner, but Lucas pushes Roberto back a bit to create some slight distance, just to get enough breathing room, WHICH MIGHT’VE PAID OFF AS HE AVOIDS ROSA’S RUNNING ATTACK IN THAT CORNER, CAUSING ROBERTO TO CRASH CHEST FIRST INTO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE!
Eve: But Rosa is still standing, leant on to said top turnbuckle as he favors that chest! Lucas smells blood in the water, and he’s gonna look to be the one to charge Rosa in that corner now, BUT HE GETS CAUGHT WITH A BACK ELBOW, STAGGERING HIM BACK, AND ROSA LOOKS TO EXPLODE OUT OF THAT CORNER WITH A CLOTHESLINE ATTEMPT, BUT NOAH DUCKS IT, MOVING TO AND CHARGING OUT OF THE CORNER AT A TURNING DE LA ROSA, WHO SENDS HIM OVERHEAD WITH A BACK BODY DROP, AND DID YOU SEE THE HANGTIME ON THAT ONE, NOAH WILL DEFINITELY BE FEELING THAT TOMORROW!
Gavin Kirkland: Rosa aims to stand him up now, BUT NOAH SHOVES SOME FIGHT STILL, THROWING SHOTS TO THE BODY OF ROSA, WHO SHOVES HIM BACK INTO THE ROPES, CAUSING NOAH TO REBOUND OFF THE ROPES, COMING BACK WITH A FLYING KNEE STRIKE THAT LANDS FLUSH, DROPPING ROSA TO ONE KNEE!!
Deadprez: NOAH’S FACE LIGHTS UP, KNOWING HE HAS THE OPPONENT ROCKED HERE, BUT HE HAS TO STAY ON HIM, AND THATS WHAT HE LOOKS TO DO, RUNNING OFF THE ROPES ONCE MORE- BUT HE GETS CAUGHT WITH A SPEAR! TALON DE ÁGUILA TURNS NOAH INSIDE OUT, AND ROSA IS GONNA LOOK TO FINISH HIM OFF HERE, MOVING INTO A REAR MOUNT ON THE PRONE NOAH, WHO IS DEFENSELESS AS THE CARTEL EXECUTION IS STRAPPED IN!
Eve: NOAH FEINTLY REACHES FOR THE ROPES, BUT HES PRACTICALLY ALREADY OUT, WASTING NO TIME TO TAP OUT HERE!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Gina Romano: HERES YOUR WINNER…ROBERTO DE LA ROSA!!
(‘Ser Real’ – Oscar Cortez Ft. T3R Elemento plays once more to a mostly negative reaction from the crowd, who showers a celebrating Roberto and Esmeralda in boos.)
Eve: Welp, tonight was very much of a contest, just a very one sided affair as Roberto pretty much had the match in hand the whole time.
Deadprez: Yeah, Noah had those brief spots of hope, but they were all quickly shut down.
Gavin Kirkland: But my boner for Esmeralda certainly hasn’t bee-
Eve: No.
Deadprez: :wow: Main thing you should takeaway tonight is: Roberto De La Rosa scores a win tonight in dominant fashion.
(The camera fades elsewhere as Rosa and Esmeralda continue to celebrate in the ring before beginning to make their way to the back, leaving a hurt Noah on the outside.)
(The camera pans to the back where an observing, and impressed Hurricane Hawk is seen in gorilla position, having just watched Roberto pick up a win over Noah Lucas, however, in come both Mitsubachi and Komatsu Ogawa, the duo showing some disappointment after the results of last week as they approach a very stern looking Hurricane Hawk, who glare at them with slight disappointment himself.)
Hurricane Hawk: What are you two doing here?
Mitsubachi: Look, Hawk, after last week, I feel like a let both you and Ogawa here down, and that just doesn’t sit right with me, not when you’re just about the only two people on this brand that have stuck behind me in my pursuits of greatness following my match with Bronson Daniels.
Komatsu Ogawa: Look, Mitsu, enough about the match, and enough about last week’s, say, what have I always told you? Bumps in the road happen all the time, but it’s how you overcome them that matters most than anything. Can you back me on this, sir Hawk?
(Komatsu turns to Hawk for assistance, but the GM doesn’t break his stern attitude towards both men.)
Hurricane Hawk: Honestly…no, and I hate to be that guy, but it’s the truth. Last week was an utter disappointment, especially for a guy I handpick chose to lead Showdown’s Divide & Conquer team, that’s not a privilege handed out to just anyone, but it was one to you, Mitsubachi, because like you said, I’m one of the only people that holds belief in you still on this brand, and while that may be the case, if I’m being perfectly honest, my belief is slowly starting to die down, because if last week is what one of the main representatives for Showdown is going to give me, then maybe I should just find someone else to lead the Divide & Conquer team, after all, I’m sure there’s plenty of other people in the back who’ll leap at an opportunity this big.
Mitsubachi: :woah: Cmon, Hawk, let’s not go that far. I get it, I screwed up last week, and I’m sorry for that, but I cannot have you just give this opportunity over to someone else, like you said, it’s a big one, one that I can’t just willingly throw away. Just give me more time, I can get my act together, I promi-
(Mitsubachi’s speech is cut off as Roberto and Esmeralda walk through the curtain, certainly amped up as they scream loudly, and Roberto bangs on the wall, ecstatic, however, much to the annoyance of both Mitsubachi and Ogawa, who were in the middle of a conversation, which Roberto takes notice off, sending Esmeralda off as he approaches Hawk, still excited.)
Roberto De La Rosa: DID YOU SEE THAT?! DID YOU SEE HOW I JUST RAN THROUGH THAT GUY?!
(Roberto continues to point at the TV, making sure Hawk catches a glimpse of Noah down on the outside, so energetic a bit of spit flies out of his mouth and onto Hawk, who wipes it off before finally responding back to Rosa.)
Hurricane Hawk: That wasn’t the most sanitary, but I’ll let it slide right now, because I saw your match, and to tell you the truth: I was impressed. In fact, so impressed that I wanna offer you a spot on Showdown’s Divide & Conquer team for Territorial Invasion.
(Roberto scoffs a bit at this, much to the shock and confusion of Hawk.)
Roberto De La Rosa: That’s it? Just a SPOT on the team? Ya know, that may be good enough for other people around here, but I’m not other people, and I see right through that little offer, because I don’t just wanna be a part of the team, I want to LEAD it.
(Roberto takes a glimpse at an irritated Mitsu, forming a small smug smirk on his face before uttering out the line…)
Roberto De La Rosa: After all, Showdown could use a leader who actually knows how to win…
(That strikes a chord with Mitsu, who gets in the face of De La Rosa.)
Mitsubachi: In case you forgot, last week was only your FIRST victory on the brand thus far, so I don’t get how you’re coming up in here, making the demands to lead the team and such, and I don’t get how one could be so arrogant off of two meager wins.
(Roberto shoves Mitsu back before the two almost break out into a fight, which is halted by Hawk, who gets in between both men.)
Hurricane Hawk: ENOUGH! I already have enough dysfunction in my brand warfare match, I certainly don’t need it for the Divide & Conquer one as well, which in case neither of you know, is a match that if there are two surviving members from the same team, they will square off until there is only one man or woman remaining, so the two of you can settle whatever differences you have, all you need to do is survive.
Roberto De La Rosa: Cmon, Hawk, why wait? I think it’s pretty obvious that you chose poorly when investing in Mitsubachi, who has shown himself to be nothing short of incapable when it comes to living up to a task before, so much so, you shouldn’t be surprised he is once again. So, Hawk, I’m gonna give you til next week to make the right decision on this brand’s leadership, otherwise, I’ll take matters into my own hands, and I don’t think you’d prefer the latter, seeing as I’m not too sure you have enough men on your roster to justify the consequences.
(Mitsu and Ogawa are shown clearly seething at the attitude from this up-and-comer, but Hawk quickly signals for them to pipe down.)
Hurricane Hawk: Ya know what, Roberto, your threats aren’t gonna scare me, in fact, I want to see what happens if you actually try to follow through on them, I really do, in fact, I DARE you to follow through on them and see what happens.
(Roberto just simply laughs him off before walking off, leaving Hawk back with the duo of Ogawa and Mitsubachi.)
Mitsubachi: As I was saying before he interrupted me, I’m sorry about how things have turnt out, but I really do need-
Hurricane Hawk: Save it. I’ve made it perfectly clear I’m not in the mood tonight, and I think it’s best for you two to get outta my sight right now.
(Mitsubachi and Ogawa nod before promptly walking off, leaving Hawk to take a deep breathe and exhale, thinking to himself as the camera cuts to black.)
(The scene fades to ringside as Strawberry Steve is already inside the ring.)
Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING MATCH IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL…
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST…FROM THE STRAWBERRY FIELDS OF GLASSGOW, SCOTLAND, WEIGHING IN…WHATEVER… “FRESHLY PICKED”…STRAWBERRY STEVE!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: We are going to be seeing the wonderful fan-favorite in Strawberry Steve look to bounce back after a rough few weeks. He would love to get a victory as impressive as getting a victory over Dr. Bethany Blue, but she’s not going to make it easy for him!
(“Bad Medicine” by Bon Jovi begins to play as the crowd gives a giant pop to the Specialists Champion herself, Dr. Bethany Blue.)
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING HIS OPPONENT…FROM MIAMI, FLORIDA…SHE IS THE EAW SPECIALISTS CHAMPION…DR. BETHANY BLUE…M.D.!!!!!!
Eve: Here is a woman who always seems to have a target on her back. It really doesn’t matter if she holds a championship or not because she’s just that good, Gavin and DP!
Deadprez: One of the stars and gems on Showdown that we were more than fortunate to retain this season. Last season wasn’t the best for her, but I’ve been amazed to see her bounce back and live up to her word of being a champion by the end of last season. Not only that, but she’s kept that championship since May at Clash of Kingdoms and she’s not looking to lose it anytime now!
Gavin Kirkland: Not if Miku Sakai has anything to say about it. I think that Miku should watch this match…if she can get over herself and her greatness.
(DING! DING! DING!)
(Dr. Bethany Blue and Strawberry Steve meet each other in the middle of the ring.)
Gavin Kirkland: Now, this is looking like an interesting match-up! Two of the most beloved Elitists on the Showdown brand! Strawberry Steve takes a step back as the crowd is on the edge of the seat before he lazily connects with a shoot kick to the side of the Specialists Champion! Bethany looks like she doesn’t know how to adjust to what Steve just did, but Bethany, take cover!
Eve: Strawberry Steve with another shoot kick to the side of Dr. Bethany Blue’s side! Just like the other one, the shoot kick was lazily executed! This time, Bethany has a slight chuckle to her face as she gets one of the rubber gloves that she had on the pocket of her shorts!
Deadprez: She slingshots the rubber blue glove to the face of ‘Freshly Picked!’ But, Steve lazily takes a step back before hopping towards Dr. Bethany Blue with a superkick, but the superkick doesn’t land on Bethany! But, the crowd seems to love the interaction between those two!
Gavin Kirkland: Dr. Bethany Blue with a legsweep as that knocks down Strawberry Steve to his back! Bethany connects with a series of punches to the face of Steve as she rises herself to her feet. Steve shortly gets himself to his feet as Bethany rushes towards Steve with a big boot, but Steve ducks the big boot from Bethany, but Bethany catches herself from stumble forward, BUT STEVE CONNECTS WITH A HUGE DROPKICK TO THE BACK OF THE CHAMPION AS BETHANY STUMBLES INTO THE VERTICAL SET OF ROPES! STRAWBERRY STEVE KIPS UP AS YOU CAN FEEL THAT BETHANY DIDN’T LIKE BEING OUTSHINE LIKE THAT, BUT SHE CARRIES ON WITH THE MATCH.
Eve: Dr. Bethany Blue runs towards Strawberry Steve again with a clothesline, BUT STEVE HOOKS THE SPECIALISTS CHAMPION BY HER ARM WITH A HIPTOSS, BUT BETHANY CATCHES HERSELF BEFORE CONNECTING WITH AN ARMDRAG AS STEVE FLIES ACROSS THE RING, BUT STEVE SLIDES TO HIS KNEES AS BETHANY RUSHES TOWARDS ‘FRESHLY PICKED,’ NAILING HIM WITH METEORA TO THE FACE AS THAT TAKES HIM DOWN! BETHANY WITH THE COVER!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTTTWWWWWOOOOOO!!!!!
Deadprez: Strawberry Stieve flips over Dr. Bethany Blue, going for a roll up attempt of his own, but Bethany rolls to her feet! She connects with a kick to the side of Steve’s face as that takes him to his side! Bethany gets Steve by his right arm before bending it back and stomping on it! I think that we need to admire the precision and the time that it took for Bethany to bend Steve’s arm back before stomping on it for some good ole joint manipulation! Now, Bethany raises Steve’s hand, almost trying to see if she dislocated anything, but after getting a good feel of the hand and the joints, she places his arm back over his head before somping it again!
Gavin Kirkland: At least, she was considerate enough to check on him! Strawberry Steve may need to see her after this match anyway! You can see Steve clutching to that arm as ‘The Doc’ is waiting for Steve to rise back to his feet! At the first sign of Steve getting to his feet, Bethany runs towards him with a knee to his ribs before connecting with a headbutt that brings him down to one knee! Bethany pulls Steve closer to him before following that up with a stalling vertical suplex! But, it seems like she’s stalling quite a bit! We see ‘The Doc’ in the best shape of her life as she begins to lift up Strawberry Steve in a vertical position!
Crowd: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! SIX! SEVEN! EIGHT!
Eve: Dr. Bethany Blue connects with the suplex as she sits herself up!
Dr. Bethany Blue: (off-mic) Eight! Just like the amount of glasses that you all should be drinking a day!
Deadprez: Well, a wonderful fact from the Specialists Champion! Her entire purpose has been to make EAW as healthy as she possibly can!
Gavin Kirkland: If you all want to look good as Thiccany Blue, I would advise you to do whatever she says! She is a doctor after all!
Eve: Gavin, stop.
Deadprez: Dr. Bethany Blue gets herself up to her feet as she gets Strawberry Steve by the nape of his neck! She runs with him towards one of the corners before placing her boot on that turnbuckle and slamming Steve’s face on it! With Steve’s back against the corner, BETHANY LOOKS AT THE CHEST OF STEVE BEFORE RUBBING IT AND THEN, DELIVERING A HUGE CHOP TO HIS CHEST! BETHANY CONNECTS WITH ANOTHER CHOP TO STEVE’S CHEST AS YOU CAN SEE HIS CHEST GOING PINK! BETHANY TAKES A COUPLE OF STEPS BACK BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A EUROPEAN UPPERCUT TO THE CHIN OF STRAWBERRY STEVE! This causes Steve to stumble forward as Bethany tries to connect with a hip toss on Steve, but Steve is trying to keep his feet planted firmly in the ground!
Gavin Kirkland: Strawberry Steve is not allowing Dr. Bethany Blue to get the upperhand in this match! Things have been kind of rough for him these past few weeks and he’s not allowing for things to get worse for him! Steve begins to connect with some shoot kicks to the side of Bethany’s legs! Bethany is shaking her head because those kicks just seem so lazily executed! It seems like Bethany is going to lift Steve for possibly a powerslam, but —
EVE: STRAWBERRY STEVE HAS HIS FEET IN THE GROUND! INSTEAD, HE COUNTERS WITH AN EXPLODER SUPLEX OF HIS OWN! BETHANY BLUE BEGINS TO BACK AWAY AS STEVE RUNS TO THE SPECIALISTS CHAMPION WITH A RUNNING HEADBUTT TO THE STOMACH! BETHANY FALLS TO ONE KNEE BEFORE STEVE FOLLOWS THAT UP WITH A DDT!’ DDSTEVE’ TAKES BETHANY DOWN! STEVE IS TRYING TO AMP UP THE CROWD! I THINK THAT HE’S FEELING GOOD ABOUT HIMSELF RIGHT NOW! HE TAKES A COUPLE OF STEPS BACK AS HE STALKS DR. BETHANY BLUE! STEVE RUNS TOWARDS HER, NAILING HER WITH A ‘STRAWB-RYDER!’
Deadprez: NO! THE JUMPING LEG LARIAT DOESN’T CONNECT AS DR. BETHANY BLUE GETS OUT OF THE WAY BEFORE NAILING STRAWBERRY STEVE WITH ‘TJD’ ON STEVE! THE SUPERKICK CONNECTS, BUT BETHANY IS NOT DONE THERE AS SHE GETS STEVE IN POSITION FOR THE ‘SAY AHHHHHH!’ THE DOUBLE ARM CROSSFACE/MANDIBLE CLAW COMBINATION ON STRAWBERRY STEVE! SHE HAS HER FINGERS IN THE MOUTH OF STEVE, ADDING ON MORE PRESSURE TO THE MANDIBULAR NERVE!
Gavin Kirkland: STRAWBERRY STEVE TAPS OUT!!! HE COULDN’T TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!!! THIS IS ALL OVER!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(“Bad Medicine” plays once again as Dr. Bethany Blue releases ‘Say Ahhh!’ from Strawberry Steve. She dusts her hands off before getting to her feet. The referee hands her the Specialists Championship before raising her hand, solidifying her as the winner of the match.)
Gina Romano: THE WINNER OF THIS MATCH…THE EAW SPECIALISTS CHAMPION…DR. BETHANY BLUE…M.D.!!!!!!
Eve: Dr. Bethany Blue picks up the victory over a wonderful fan-favorite in Strawberry Steve! It was quick work in comparison to her last defense. She’s sending a message to any woman who decides to step up to her and most specifically to the woman who is going to step up to her in Miku Sakai!
Deadprez: First off, my heart breaks for Strawberry Steve who collects another loss, but the fans love him regardless of the result. He’ll find a way to bounce back. Second off, Bethany has been on a tier since winning the title. Anyone who takes the title off of her is going to need to bring their A-game.
Gavin Kirkland: That could be my little kawaii princess, Miku, DP. But, Bethany always looks good!
(Bethany continues to celebrate her victory as the camera fades to commercial)
(As the EAW Showdown Broadcast returns from commercial break, the camera fades in to the backstage area, returning from darkness, with the primary focus of the shot being none other than the EAW Specialists Champion, Dr. Bethany Blue, with the title hoisted over her shoulder. She appears to be satisfied with her victory, before that satisfaction is wiped off her face. The camera pans around, as it shows the simps that Dr. Bethany Blue had organized to be patients, and not one of them appeared attractive, or like they’ve showered in weeks; a literal health hazard in our current times, and for a Doctor, that’s disgusting, and something that needs to be taken care of.)
Dr. Bethany Blue: Good lord… do you not take care of yourselves?
(Bethany continues to walk forward, as she walks past the extremely long line that fills up the hallways. Bethany turns her head to look at the cameraman.)
Dr. Bethany Blue: How many are there? There’s absolutely no way this meets the 15 person cap that Miku actually has here, right? Just on sight this is too much. Miku, and these people, are lucky that I’m willing to actually do something nice for her; but that’s the caveat here, there’s no way I’m letting ALL of these potentially disease ridden slobs anywhere near the ring, getting their grease all over it, without being checked up beforehand; we’re not risking my health, or anyone else’s here. Yours truly, the Specialists Champion, is gonna make sure these people are in tip top health condition! Or at least… the best they can possibly be at.
(Bethany continues to walk, before a simp speaks up; his words making her stop dead in her tracks, turning her head to him, and giving him a dirty look, one of anger.)
Simp #1: Y’know, I admire you, bethany! It takes some guts to step up to Miku, and I really hope you’re not hurt too bad; especially when our beloved Mi-Mi dethrones you at Territorial Invasion. Obviously, I mean no disrespect, I just think it’s kind of cool how you know this to be the case just like the rest of us, and you’re still going along with it! God, Miku is such a good wrestler, you’re alright, but you’re no Miku. That title too. It’d look so good on her! I’m so excited to see you lose, Bethany! So excited.
(Bethany Blue shakes her head, as she begins to chuckle at this remark; finding the hilarity in a nobody simp thinking he has the voice to confront her and claim that Miku will do exactly that, and in her mind, it’s funny how he thinks he has the right to bring that idea up right in her face. But of course, this doesn’t last long, as she then kicks the simp in the knee, before shoving his head into the wall. She pulls him back, before hitting ‘TJD’, superkicking him directly in the head. The rest of the simps… well… they don’t really give a shit, they continue to stand in line. The same line that another simp begins to talk about.)
Simp #2: Y’know, I’m PRAYING everyone ahead of me doesn’t get approved, just thrown out to the outside, so I can see that Goddess closer, nearly able to touch her; AND get to help her win at Territorial Invasion! That’d just be great, no one else is able to say that. “I was in the breathing area of Miku Sakai!” It’s almost like an accomplishment, being so close to her. She treats us all so well. Our Goddess. 🤤
Dr. Bethany Blue: :comeagain:!!! I have some questions for you. First of all; when did you shower last? You could fry an egg on that hair. Second lf all; when did you put on deodorant last? Thirdly, did you sanitize your hands before entering here? Brush your teeth? Use mouthwash? Did you even floss? Soap? I mean, literally anything that lowers the chance of any one of us catching a disease, COVID-19? I see you’re not wearing a mask, for starters, and if you want any advice from the Doctor here, I suggest you should do all of those.
Simp #2: I’m perfectly fine, Doc! I showered this morning after I woke up, I put on deodorant before I left the house, and I sanitized my hands, like I do every day!
Dr. Bethany Blue: :wow: Well, I guess that’s fin-
Simp #2: I mean, the last time I sanitized my hands was last night when I was… looking… at Miku’s OnlyFans :mjlit:! Only strange thing is that I noticed some pretty weird red blotches-
Dr. Bethany Blue: Before… before you say ANYTHING more perverted, or disgusting, please, just step out of line, and get out of here! Go!
(The simp looks at Bethany Blue, as his lip begins to quiver, before his head sinks and he slowly walks out of shot. Moaning, yelling, and stomping is heard, before Bethany sighs and shakes her head. She continues walking, before she FINALLY reaches the medical room door, where a scrawny simp is stood at the very front.)
Dr. Bethany Blue: Well, let’s begin, shall we?
(Bethany opens up the door, allowing the simp to walk in.)
Simp #3: Let’s get this over with, I’m just so elated to see Miku Sakai! I think I’m a bit erect to see her-
Dr. Bethany Blue: Just get in!
(The simp walks inside, going past Regyna Pabst-Meir, who gives her a smile, before walking outside and closing the door behind her. The simp sits down on the medical bed, as Bethany pulls up a chair beside him; grabbing a clipboard, and putting a mask over her face; along with some gloves, after all, you don’t know what these simps are carrying on them; we don’t need EAW’s personal COVID-21 breaking out just after we’ve escaped all of that. Bethany pulls out a pen, as she looks to tick boxes; asking the simp questions.)
Dr. Bethany Blue: Before we start; what is your name?
Simp #3: My name is Roby, Dr. Blue!
Dr. Bethany Blue: Alright, so I’ve just got some simple, easy questions for you, same questions I asked that… other guy. First of all, when did you last shower? When did you last put on deodorant? Did you sanitize your hands before coming here, did you brush your teeth, and do you own a mask or have one on you?
Roby: Well, I showered just before I left, the wind was enough to blow dry my hair since I was in a rush –
Dr. Bethany Blue: :dahell:
Roby: And I put on deodorant with that shower, so I’m clean in that aspect. I sanitized my hands before I left the car, and I brushed my teeth just after breakfast! Is that all good?
(Dr. Bethany Blue begins to write down on her clipboard, filling in the blanks according to his answer, as she mutters “mhm” to herself along with every jot on the paper.)
Dr. Bethany Blue: Alright. That’s good, at least you’re taking care of yourself, and not lying like the last person. Have you been to any IDOL-GUN meet-ups in the last three months? And if so, were you vaccinated, and of course, did you wear a mask?
Roby: Uhh, well… no, I haven’t been able to make any!
Dr. Bethany Blue: Alright. Is this because you’ve had COVID? Or have you shown and symptoms for COVID-19 in recent memory?
Roby: Also no. I have had only a little bit of interaction with anyone else for a few months or so.
Dr. Bethany Blue: Hm… you said your name was… Roby, right? That name just sounds familiar to me, if you don’t mind me asking.
Roby: Well, I had a HUGE misunderstanding with everyone earlier this year, but believe me, I’m ready to devote myself to Miku and her cause after being released from parole!
(Roby smiles in confidence as Bethany shakes her head and scrunches up her eyebrows in sheer confusion at the comment of him being on parole.)
Dr. Bethany Blue: Um, what exactly do you mean by “parole”, Roby? That is slightly worrying.
Roby: No, no, no! Don’t worry, it’s nothing bad! As I said, it was just one big misunderstanding with everyone involved; there’s a restraining order against me and both members of IDOL-GUN ‘cuz of it. But, fret not, a stupid piece of paper isn’t going to stop me from seeing my queen Miku Sakai at Territorial Invasion!
(Dr. Bethany Blue looks at him with sheer confusion, but more importantly, she’s completely creeped the fuck out. Casually, out of the blue, some near-stranger has confirmed that he legally cannot even be at Territorial Invasion, or near Miku Sakai, and has decided that he’s going to show up anyway. Of course, this doesn’t sit right with Bethany, even if she’s Miku’s opponent; and it wouldn’t be professional of her not to, well, do what’s expected here.)
Dr. Bethany Blue: Um… Security!??! Yeah, we have an issue here!
(Roby suddenly turns his head over to Bethany’s direction, as he begins to stutter on noise; not getting a single word out, before his eyes quickly dart over to the door. Two big security guards step through, and he suddenly begins to start making a scene; kicking his legs around, as he tries to push himself away, and get closer to the wall, or anything that gives him some sort of advantage in kicking these two away. As he does this, Roby begins to scream at the very top of his lungs.)
Roby: NO! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU PEOPLE DOING???! THIS IS SOMETHING I NEED TO DO, YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND! NO! GET OFF OF ME! I NEED TO SEE MY BELOVED QUEEN! CURSE YOU BETHANYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYyyyyyyyyy
(The security guards grab onto his shoulders, but not before he tries to scramble across the desk; flinging papers, trays, and books everywhere; grabbing onto a diagram that’s on the wall, before he’s inevitably carried away on the security guard’s shoulder. He punches his back, but of course, it’s no use. The door slams shut, and he’s carried away, slowly getting quieter as he shouts out Bethany’s name, in comedic fashion.)
Dr. Bethany Blue: sigh At this rate, Miku isn’t going to have ANY simps at ringside. Of course, this doesn’t concern me, not in the slightest. If none of these people were as gross and disgusting as they are, they’d be cleared by now; and if not? That’s on Miku, that’s her fault. Her fault for surrounding herself and embracing such a… terrible, misguided group of ADULTS, sick perverted people, all to give her just an ounce of validation and security. That extra boost. Guess it’s just a shame for her then… another sigh Regyna! Bring in the next simp! God, this is going to take all night to get through…
(As Dr. Bethany Blue rests her head in her hands, the door opens once again, as Regyna lets in another simp, who sits down in the same place. Bethany lifts up her clipboard, before the broadcast fades elsewhere; allowing Bethany to interview all of these simps as the show focuses on the other Elitists that captivate the viewers.)
(The scene pans to Hurricane Hawk’s office. Inside the office, it’s a total mess as there are papers, photos, and charts scattered around. One of the things that happen to stand out is the series of pictures of the stadium, the layouts and construction plans, and pictures of each Elitist participating in the match is scattered on the wall. Each of those is being connected by a red thread some of it detailing the directions that the match can go and into which room [most specifically, the locker room, weight room and lion’s den that were highlighted last week]; however, it’s all a jumbled mess. To most people, it wouldn’t make sense, but to Hawk, it makes tons of sense. Just think of that scene from Always Sunny in Philadelphia with Charlie in the mailroom. From all of the things in the wall and the jumbled-up lines, it makes you wonder about the lack of sleep that the General Manager is suffering from. But, it seems like Hawk isn’t showing signs of suffering from the lack of sleep and manages to keep a cool and collected composure, which any leader should under high-pressure situations such as Stadium Stampede at Territorial Invasion. Right now, Hawk is currently looking at his wall, pondering on strategy.)
???: You’ve really been at work.
(Hurricane Hawk turns around as he’s face-to-face with Impact. Hawk looks back at his wall before scratching the bottom of his chin, trying to think of a witty response, but nothing comes out of his mouth. There’s a part of him that wonders if he should be ashamed for putting as much effort as he is with this entire Stadium Stampede. At the same time, he wants to look back at this whole lead-up, knowing that he did everything that he could to give Team Showdown the best result possible.)
Hurricane Hawk: You can say that. Wouldn’t hurt to be prepared for a match like this. It’s the first time that a match like this has happened. There’s no imagining what could happen; however, it’s one of the things that I’m optimistic about. Two out of the three Elitists on Team Showdown are veterans, who have been through the absolute worst that has been thrown at them. This should almost be a piece of cake for the three of you. You’re already a bit familiar with the arena, so you have that advantage over Dynasty and Voltage already.
(Impact nods, but you can there’s slight hesitation with his nodding for some reason.)
Hurricane Hawk: Also, I wanted to get your opinion on something. We’ve known each other for a long time and you’ve always been quite straightforward with your opinions. I wanted to get your thoughts on the series of matches happening this weekend. What do you think about the selections for each brand?
Impact: Based on Dynasty last night, I wished that the result would have gone different; however, Dynasty ended how it is going to end at Territorial Invasion and that’s Team Showdown standing tall in that ring. I thought putting Theron against Minerva and Viz was a nice decision. I figured it was because Minerva had the black mist and Theron has been known to use that red mist on occasions, right? :mjgrin:
Hurricane Hawk: Wasn’t what I was going for, but I love that you picked up on that. :drakelike:
Impact: For the most part, I thought Theron Nikolas was the best wrestler out there, which is what Showdown has always prided itself of being and that’s the ‘wrestling’ show in EAW. Theron went out there and did what he was supposed to do and that was wrestle and do it well. It’s what separates us from the deathmatch culture of Voltage and the youth and eagerness of Dynasty. When it comes to that ring, there is no one else doing it like Showdown. It’s one of the only brands in EAW, where things are straightforward. You put in the work and nine out of ten times, you will get what you want. Now, it’s no secret that Theron wants that Answers World Championship and has seen what participating in Stadium Stampede and like he said, that all of that tension and emotion will build up at some point this season. From what occurred on Dynasty and Viz dropping him with a back body drop into the table, I feel like Theron may want a little payback going into Territorial Invasion, but he’s always a calculated individual and he’ll strike when he sees right. I know, never to ask a magician to reveal his secrets, so I won’t pester Theron about his next move. As long as it doesn’t impact the rest of the team, it should be good.
Hurricane Hawk: After tonight, we have one last match on Voltage with Lethal Consequences taking on Drake King and SOSA Henderson. Talked to LC about how he’s feeling about that?
Impact: I and LC have talked briefly, but I’m confident about LC walking into Voltage tomorrow night. Out of the three Elitists in the match, LC has the most experience. SOSA may have the seal of approval from the Heart Break Boy, but that won’t mean anything tomorrow night. At the end of the day, he doesn’t carry the experience that I do. As for Drake, if his New Eden little buddies want to get themselves involved in the match, I and Theron won’t be too far along to back those three up to a corner. You would think that being part of Voltage would strengthen his mind, but he’s still the whiny, annoying, little bitch that he was back at Grand Rampage. It should be fun to watch LC slap those two infantile motherfuckers in the ring tomorrow night. While Dynasty ended with no result, it’s going to be a different story going into tonight. I feel —
Hurricane Hawk: — Not need to talk about you and your chances, Imp. I have complete and utter confidence for you to get the job done.
Impact: My sentiments, exactly. As long as Team Showdown has all of the momentum heading into Stadium Stampede, there’s absolutely nothing that can stand in our way. After all, our team overwhelmingly has the experience to win no matter what the situation throws at them. Not only that but booking the tour of the stadium, it’s allowed Team Showdown to take a close look at every nook and cranny of that stadium and make sure that we use what we can to our advantage. That is going to be something that the Dynasty and Voltage will not have to their advantage leading up to the match due to Hurricane Ida —
(The door to Hurricane Hawk’s office is slammed open as New Eden’s Myles bursts inside the office. Impact and Hawk sigh in disappointment because one of the last people that they wanted to be in the same room was a member of New Eden. It’s obvious that New Eden has made enemies outside the Voltage brand and one of them being the nine-time World Champion, who they basically prevented from winning Grand Rampage and making history as the only two-time Grand Rampage winner. Impact has not forgotten about that and just looking at Myles’ face is just annoying the hell out Impact, which may or may not be good for Myles.)
Myles: It’s impossible to think of a place much worse under Captain Charisma, but when I heard just how Hurricane Hawk is running his brand, I felt sick to my stomach.
(Myles releases a laugh as Impact and Hurricane Hawk look at him to continue on with his point. Clearly, both of them are unamused but decide to hear out Myles. Myles happens to look back at the jumbled-up mess on the wall but doesn’t give it much thought. Instead, there’s a part that feels amused that Hawk will do ANYTHING to give Team Showdown the advantage at Stadium Stampede. It’s not like Captain Charisma would ever give New Eden that same amount of dedication and energy.)
Myles: I’m laughing at you, Hawk. The fact that the only way for your Stadium Stampede team to be united is to dangle their greed over their heads and threaten them with stripping away their addiction and like addicts do, they fall in line —
(Impact scoffs at the notion that his team is a trio of addicts.)
Myles: Of course, you wouldn’t see it, Impact. It’s hard to see a forest for its trees. It’s hard for an addict to see that he has a problem. You, Impact, are addicted to the idea of achieving #10reignz that you’re more than willing to fall in line, if it means to get your fix. Even if it means teaming with two men, who wouldn’t hesitate to stab you in the back if it meant that they could get their fix before you. After all, Theron wants to be the ‘God Emperor’ again. LC? Well, who knows what the fuck LC wants, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s the exact same thing that the two of you are after. You, Elitists, are so predictable with your wants and needs. It’s disgusting how it all leads back to championships and accomplishments. You think that it’s the answer for everything, but in reality, it will make you dissatisfied. Look at your Hardcore Champion, someone who is dissatisfied with the piece of gold that he has in his possession. That, right there, proves that this isn’t a problem exclusive to the gluttonous trio that you put together, Hawk. It’s a problem that is not only on the Voltage brand, but it also plagues your roster as well as Dynasty’s.
Hurricane Hawk: Is that all you were going to say?
Impact: I’m trying to understand what was the point of you barging into Hawk’s office to just say all of that.
(Myles facepalms as he harshly slides his hand down his face. Of course, Hurricane Hawk and Impact would not be able to see things from his perspective. Not many people are able to understand where New Eden comes from when the concept of championships, accomplishments, and the greed that a lot of the Elitists have from them.)
Myles: I’m going to ask you a simple question, Impact — can you legitimately trust two men who will gladly put their own glutenous interests before not just you but the entire brand?
(After asking that question, Myles leaves the scene. The question lingers in the air as Impact and Hurricane Hawk look at each other, trying to process the interaction with Myles.)
Hurricane Hawk: After hearing that, I hope that I never have to deal with New Eden again.
Impact: :francis:
(Not much of a response from the nine-time World Champion, but a simple facial reaction, but it tells the entire story of all the issues that he has with New Eden in 2021. The scene fades elsewhere.)
(The Showdown broadcast returns to ringside, as the camera pans around the arena, before cutting back to the ring. Inside the ring, we see Gina Romano, holding an EAW-branded microphone, here to announce the next contest.)
Gina Romano: The following contest here tonight… is scheduled… FOR ONE-FALL!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
(‘High All The Time’ by 50 Cent hits the speakers as the crowd would erupt into cheers. The titantron displays a blunt, along with the name Justin Windgate, as the former Interwire and New Breed Champion walks out through the curtains, with a smirk on his face. He hasn’t competed on Showdown since the weeks prior to Pain For Pride, but tonight he aims to prove that even on his old home brand, he can shine ahead of them all, as he looks to take on an old rival.)
Gina Romano: Introducing first… hailing from Detroit, Michigan, weighing in at 225 pounds… THE XTREME CLASSIC… JUSTINNNN WINDGATEEEEEE!!
Eve: Even though he’s on another brand, it’s almost like a hero’s welcome has been issued out for Justin Windgate, as he returns to the Showdown brand for the first time since Pain For Pride, and ever since then he’s grown to even bigger heights than before! But tonight is an important match. It’s more than a return to Showdown, it’s more than a one-night fight, it’s more than the preview match that it was branded as. This is proving that he hasn’t slipped off since his Interwire reign, and that he can do what he did at Reasonable Doubt; but better.
Gavin Kirkland: People say that, but truth be told, not a lot of people back it up! If Justin can do exactly that, then he’s set, but if not? He’s been exceeded by the man he overtook to get his success in the first place. That would be one big swing at the gut for Justin Windgate, and for the sake of brand supremacy, I hope it happens! I hope Voltage walks in knowing that they’ve lost a bit of advantage heading into Territorial Invasion, whereas we have a certain victory on our hands! Let’s get it, boys, do it for Showdown’s sexy babes!!!
Eve: :comeagain:
(Justin Windgate walks up the steel steps, as he climbs to the top rope; before doing his air-blunt pose, as the crowd does it along with him. He hops into the ring, and begins to trace it in a skip, waiting for his opponent to come down. ‘Last Strike’ by Polo G hits the speakers, this time the crowd jumps into a loud boo. Walking onto the stage, hyping himself up, Jon Kelton begins to smack his palm with his hand, as he doesn’t take his eye off of the man who took his 24/7 Contract.)
Gavin Kirkland:See, this is exactly what he has to look out for! Jon Kelton is bound to be fired up after their history, and with the stake of momentum on the line; he HAS to deliver, not just for himself, or his team, but for the whole brand! Which means the aforementioned sexy babes, the commentators, the referees, the writers. Just so they know who the real top brand truly is! Spoiler alert, it’s Showdown! Land of the pawgs!
Deadprez: Alright, I’ll take over. You’re right, Jon Kelton needs that fire right now, or else he won’t have the ability to beat the person who he couldn’t beat a year ago; an Elitist that took so much from him, tonight he has that possible redemption arc, and that means so much, especially for the brand. He needs to channel those feelings into something worthwhile, and if he does so, we’ll see victory!
(Jon Kelton walks up the steps, before entering the ring, as he and Justin go face-to-face, letting their words fly, as they trash talk each other before the match. Kelton pushes Justin back, before going to the top rope and posing, as his theme fades out. He drops down to his corner, before awaiting the bell to ring…)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Eve: And here we go! Old rivals reunited; for the first time since Pain For Pride these two are squaring off against one another, and it certainly won’t be the last! Justin Windgate infamously took the 24/7 Contract away from Kelton, and tonight could be a shot at redemption for The Chosen One! I bet it frustrates him to see The Xtreme Classic rise to the heights that he has in recent times, but he could shoot himself up there at any given moment, all he needs is a three count or a submission here tonight!
Gavin Kirkland: The two lock up in the center of the ring, and it’s the fire Kelton has towards Windgate that allows him to lock in the headlock, before taking him down to the ground; seeping it in deeper than it would be in a standing position! He tightens the hold, but it’s not enough, as Windgate wraps his legs around Kelton’s head; something I’d love Harpawg Lee to do to me! Kelton kicks his legs around, before into the air… pushing himself out of the hold! Sliding back into the headlock he goes, Windgate is trapped one more time!
Deadprez: But Justin is able to quickly slide onto his stomach, before pushing himself up to his feet, with that headlock still applied! Windgate looks to break it, as he elbows Kelton in the gut, weakening him up, before he grabs the waist and goes to push him against the ropes, forcing him to rebound- but Kelton locks it in tighter, and they both slide back down to the mat! Excellent ring work from Kelton here, inverting what Windgate had done to him all the way back at Reasonable Doubt, but applying it in for just a little longer here!
Gavin Kirkland: And now Kelton begins to lift Windgate off the ground, before hooking the waist! He goes for the back suplex- but much like Kelton did, he inverts what happened at Reasonable Doubt, as it’s Windgate who lands on his feet this time around! Kelton turns around, looking for a forearm smash to the jaw- but it’s Windgate who counters with an Armdrag again! Windgate looks for that rear chinlock- but Kelton slips up to his feet!
Eve: OH! A KICK TO THE GUT FROM KELTON; LOOKING FOR THE FINAL ATONEMENT- But Windgate manages to spin out of it! HEADBUTT! HEADBUTT TO THE DOME, AND KELTON STUMBLES BACK INTO THE APRON! AND NOW JUSTIN WINDGATE LEAPS FOR THE ‘CLASSIC ENDING’- BUT KELTON PUSHES HIM AWAY, AVOIDING THE REVERSE CUTTER! WINDGATE HAS A MOMENT OF PAUSE, AND KELTON INSTANTLY TAKES ADVANTAGE WITH A HUGE TWIST OF FATE RIGHT INTO THE MAT! JON KELTON PLANTS JUSTIN WINDGATE RIGHT INTO THE CENTER OF THE RING, BEFORE HE GOES TO CRAWL INTO THE COVER!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-
Deadprez: But the count BARELY hits two, as Windgate kicks out just before the hand hits; depending on where you’re sitting, that’s a one count! Whether it was two or one, Windgate quickly slipped out of it, and Kelton knows this! He sneaks up behind Windgate, and goes for the reverse chinlock- but an overhead kick from a lying down Windgate! He transitions him into a roll up here!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-
Eve: But this time it’s Kelton who kicks out at one, as they both slide up to their feet; but Kelton meets a roundhouse kick to the head- no! That’s blocked, Kelton gets the hands up! He swings a huge overhead hammerfist right to Windgate’s head, and that stumbles him! Kelton then looks to transition into… a huge spinebuster, right into the center of the ring! However, this time, Kelton doesn’t slide into the cover!
Gavin Kirkland: Instead, Kelton rolls to the side, retreating to his feet as Kelton arches his back and winces in pain due to being slammed into that rock hard wood, like me in a Veena Adams match! Kelton terms to the side, before sprinting at the ropes and leaping onto the middle one; springboarding back into a HUGE Lionsault- but Windgate counters, rolling out of the way, yet somehow Kelton lands on his feet, with a bit of momentum making him stumble back!
Eve: And this allows Windgate to get back up to his feet, as Kelton charges towards him- only to be met with a huge enzuigiri! Kelton drops to his knees, but The Xtreme Classic isn’t done, as he hops onto the middle rope! Kelton begins to get back to his feet, whilst still bent over, before Windgate leaps for a diving double foot stomp, which almost connects, but he’s met with a huge roundhouse kick to the chest! Windgate drops to his knees! Kelton runs the ropes himself, looking to hit a huge knee strike to Justin Windgate-
Deadprez: But he’s met with a huge superkick right to the jaw! Kelton stumbles back, as Justin Windgate grabs Kelton by the head and sprints to the corner! He runs up the turnbuckles, as ‘Run It Up’ connects- but Kelton shoves him forward, sitting him on the top rope! Forearm strike followed closely, right to the back of the head! Again, this is how he countered the move last, as he looks to put him in the argentine backbreaker position- but Justin Windgate slips out! ‘RUN IT UP’ HITS ONCE MORE, SPRINTING UP THE THREE SET OF TURNBUCKLES!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT AGAIN, JON KELTON MANAGES TO REVERSE IT, AS HE ALLOWS KELTON TO DROP DOWN BEHIND HIM! NOW IT’S KELTON WHO GRABS THE HEAD, AND SPRINTS TOWARDS THE CORNER! NO WAY, CAN IT BE??? ‘RUN IT UP’ FROM JON KELTON, JON KELTON TAKES OUT JUSTIN WINDGATE BY USING HIS OWN MOVE, DRILLING HIM INTO THE MAT WITH THAT HUGE ‘RUN IT UP’ SLICED BREAD, AND NOW HE HOOKS ONTO THE LEGS OF HIS OPPONENT, COULD THIS BE ENOUGH TO SCORE JON KELTON A VICTORY HERE TONIGHT??? JON KELTON SLIPS INTO THE COVER ON HIS OPPONENT, JUSTIN WINDGATE, USING HIS MOVES!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
THRE-
Eve: But a kick out from Justin Windgate, as he rolls away from Jon Kelton! Kelton doesn’t look to stop, as he continues this race to the finish by grabbing Justin Windgate by the arms! He looks to apply that ‘Ether’ Crossface in, but it doesn’t connect, and Windgate is able to roll away in the nick of time, towards the corner! Windgate still can’t escape for long, though, as Kelton follows through, and now begins to stomp on Windgate’s chest, seeking to make a huge dent into the torso of his opponent here tonight, ladies and gentlemen!
Deadprez: BUT WINDGATE IS QUICKLY ABLE TO GRAB THE LEG, AS HE SLOWLY STANDS BACK UP ON HIS FEET! KELTON IS HOPPING ON THE SPOT, BEFORE JUSTIN THROWS THE LEG DOWN- OH! BAM, RIGHT IN THE JAW! A BACK ELBOW FROM KELTON, SPINNING AROUND AS HIS LEG IS THROWN, AND WINDGATE COULD HAVE JUST LOST A TOOTH BECAUSE OF THAT! WINDGATE STUMBLES BACKWARDS INTO THE ROPES, AS KELTON RUNS THE ROPES- BAM! ANOTHER HUGE SHOT, A LARIAT RIGHT TO KELTON’S HEAD, TAKING HIM DOWN! INTO THE COVER FROM JUSTIN WINDGATE, COULD KELTON BE WRITTEN OUT OF THE IMAGE HERE?
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Deadprez: KELTON MANAGES TO POWER THE SHOULDER UP! KELTON REMAINS IN THE FIGHT, AND WINDGATE ROLLS AWAY! THESE TWO HAVE A GOAL TO END EACH OTHER, AND WINDGATE IS SEEKING FOR THAT TO BE THE CASE! HE GRABS KELTON BY THE EARS, PULLING HIM UP TO HIS FEET, BEFORE RUNNING OVER TO THE CORNER… ‘RUN IT UP’ CONNECTS, THE MOVE THAT CAME FROM KELTON – STOLEN FROM WINDGATE – IS NOW BEING PERFORMED BY WINDGATE, AND THAT COULD BE IT FOR JON KELTON REAL SOON, BECAUSE HE’S SHOWING NO SIGNS OF LIFE!
(Justin Windgate slips out onto the apron, as he begins to climb up the turnbuckles, heading to the top rope.)
Eve: OH! BUT AHEAD OF TIME, JON KELTON IS QUICKLY ABLE TO PUNCH KELTON RIGHT INTO THE HEAD, SENDING HIM STUMBLING BACK, AS HE NOW CLIMBS UP ALSO; THIS COULD BE A DANGEROUS RESULT FOR ANYONE INVOLVED, ESPECIALLY IF THE LANDING GOES HORRIBLY WRONG FOR EITHER MAN, KELTON OR WINDGATE! KELTON BEGINS TO SLAM HIS FOREARM INTO WINDGATE’S BACK, BEFORE LIFTING HIM UP ONTO HIS SHOULDERS! HE TURNS AROUND, BEFORE LEAPING OFF OF THE VERY TOP-
Gavin Kirkland: NO! PUNCH TO THE HEAD FROM WINDGATE!
Eve: BLOCKED! KELTON BLOCKS IT!
PUNCH!
Jon Kelton: (off-mic) YOU’VE LOST HERE, JUSTIN!
PUNCH!
Jon Kelton: (off-mic) One move, and you’re out for GOOD!
PUNCH!
Jon Kelton: (off-mic) YOU BETTER GET READY, BEFORE THIS COMES AS A SURPRISE TO ANYONE!
PUNCH!
Gavin Kirkland: SOME HUGE PUNCHES FROM JON KELTON, WINDGATE APPEARS TO BE ROCKED BY SOME OF THEM, BUT IT’S NOT ENTIRELY OVER, AS KON KELTON HOOKS THE ARMS OF JUSTIN WINDGATE! NO! HE’S NOT JUST LOOKING FOR REVENGE, BUT ALSO LOOKING TO HIT THE FINAL ATONEMENT FROM THE TOP ROPE! IF THIS CONNECTS, IT COULD BE DEVASTATING FOR JUSTIN WINDGATE RIGHT NOW-
Deadprez: BUT WINDGATE SLIPS OUT OF IT! SUPERKICK TO THE BACK OF KELTON’S KNEE, FORCING HIM TO DROP AND LEAN ON THE ROPES, BEFORE HE STUMBLES BACK! PUTTING TWO AIR-BLUNTS TO HIS MOUTH, JUSTIN WINDGATE ROLLS… AND IT CONNECTS! THE ROLLING THUNDER TO KELTON, FORCING HIM TO CRASH RIGHT INTO THE MAT DUE TO ALL OF THE PRESSURE PUT ONTO HIM! JUSTIN WINDGATE SLIDES INTO THE COVER!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Eve: BUT A KICK OUT FROM JON KELTON! JON KELTON IS ABLE TO POP THE SHOULDER UP, AND SAVES HIMSELF FROM SUFFERING THAT MOMENTUM-BASED LOSS HERE ON SHOWDOWN, ON HIS OWN BRAND! THAT WOULD BE DEVASTATING FOR HIM, BUT KELTON MAY HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT! WINDGATE GRABS HIM BY THE TIGHTS, AND PULLS HIM UP, BEFORE GOING TO HIT THE ‘CLASSIC ENDING’-
Deadprez: BUT KELTON CATCHES HIM BY THE ARMS! KELTON CATCHES HIM! HE SLIPS INTO THE SKULL CRUSHING FINALE; NAILING ‘SPOILER ALERT’ ON JUSTIN WINDGATE AS HE PLANTS HIM INTO THE MAT! HE THEN ROLLS HIM OVER… ‘ETHER’!!! THE CROSSFACE IS LOCKED IN, AS JUSTIN WINDGATE BEGINS TO SCRATCH AND CRAWL HIS WAY TOWARDS THE BOTTOM ROPE; A CERTAIN ROPE BREAK TO CONTINUE HIMSELF FIGHTING HERE!
Gavin Kirkland: HE’S QUITE LITERALLY DIGGING HIS NAILS RIGHT INTO THE MAT AFTER EVERY CRAWL, EVERY BIT OF ENERGY BEING DEDICATED TO REACHING THE ROPES, AS THIS MAN TRIES HIS ABSOLUTE HARDEST TO GET THERE! WITH EVERY MOVEMENT HE GETS CLOSER, BUT IT’S STILL SO FAR AWAY, LIKE TRYING TO REACH THE LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL, BUT IT BEING SO FAR! LIKE TRYING TO REACH THE BOOB WINDOW OF ASHLEY FLORES’ TIGHT SHIRT, BUT BEING AT THIS COMMENTARY DESK! YOU JUST HAVE TO CRAWL CLOSER, AND CLOSER… UNTIL HE FINALLY REACHES THE ROPES AND FORCES THE ROPE BREA-
Eve: BUT JON KELTON IS ABLE TO ROLL TO THE SIDE, FORCING WINDGATE TO REMAIN IN THE CENTER OF THE RING, AND APPLIES MORE PRESSURE TO THE CROSSFACE! WINDGATE IS REFUSING TO TAP, THOUGH, BUT KELTON KNOWS THIS; APPLYING MORE AND MORE PRESSURE AS THE SECONDS GO BY! WINDGATE GRABS ONTO KELTON’S FINGERS, AND USES ALL OF HIS STRENGTH TO PULL THEM APART… AND IT WORKS-
Deadprez: BUT KELTON INSTANTLY TRANSITIONS TO INNER-FOREARM STRIKES TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD, LAYING HIM OUT! ANOTHER STRIKE! AND ANOTHER! HE HITS THOSE REPEATED FOREARM STRIKES RIGHT INTO THE HEAD OF JUSTIN WINDGATE, THIS COULD BE IT! IF HE KNOCKS HIM OUT, THERE’S NO WAY HE ESCAPES FROM THE CROSSFACE, AND THERE’S NO WAY HE’S ABLE TO REMAIN IN TACT!
Gavin Kirkland: AND NOW JON KELTON WRAPS HIS HANDS AROUND JUSTIN WINDGATE’S FACE, PUSHING THE NOSE, BEFORE HE QUICKLY PULLS BACK- NO! WINDGATE TRANSITIONS IT INTO A COVER!!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-
Gavin Kirkland: NO! KELTON MANAGES TO KICK OUT ONCE AGAIN, AND NOW THEY BOTH RETREAT TO THEIR FEET! KELTON GETS IN CONTROL FIRST, AS HE LOOKS TO HIT THE FINAL ATONEMENT- NO! WINDGATE SPINS OUT OF IT, BEFORE CONNECTING WITH ‘CLASSIC ENDING’!!! THE REVERSE CUTTER RIGHT INTO THE MAT, THIS COULD BE ALL OVER! INTO THE COVER!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Gina Romano: Here is your winner… THE XTREME CLASSIC… JUSTIIIIIIIN WINDGATEEEEEEEEEE!!!
(‘High All The Time’ by 50 Cent hits the speakers, as the EAW Audience erupts into a fit of cheers for Justin Windgate; despite him being on a totally different brand. Holding onto his jaw, Windgate slowly recovers back up to his feet, as the referee grabs him by the hand, and raises it high into the air. Justin slowly removes his hand from his jaw, before moving the jaw around, as he heads to the turnbuckles to celebrate.)
Eve: Once again, he does it! He comes out on top over Jon Kelton; and whilst I should probably be in brand supremacy mode right now, I can’t take anything away from Justin Windgate’s performance! He showed up, showed out, and won the match; exactly as he was tasked to do. No funny business, no interference, no bullshit. Just a straight, clean wrestling match – a wrestling match that Justin Windgate was able to come out on top in!
Deadprez: Of course, I completely agree! I was rooting for Kelton for the fact he was representing Showdown, but when you come in with nothing but respect for what our brand stands for – especially considering it’s where you used to call home – and have a wrestling match to try and prove who’s better? You can’t take anything away from that, as you said. I wish Kelton got the win, but that’s what Territorial Invasion is for. Until then, Justin Windgate is the winner of the Preview Match!
Gavin Kirkland: As long as that Rich Russillo guy – y’know, the wannabe me – isn’t celebrating right now, I’m celebrating right now, for multiple reasons! We just witnessed a pretty good wrestling match, and soon, we’re about to witness something even better, because my beloved HARPAWG is going to be wrestling soon, and of course, I can’t wait! Congratulations go out to Justin, I guess, but now it’s time for the true highlight of the show! :mjlit:
Eve: You need to get your priorities in check and actually do your job.
Gavin Kirkland: My job here is to promote the next match!
Eve: :wow:
(As Justin Windgate exits through the middle rope, and begins to walk up the ramp, he high fives the fans whilst doing his air-blunt pose. The broadcast then fades out to commercial break.)
(A commercial for a Wario and Waluigi game begins to play, where fat ass Xander Payne is Wario, and skinny ass Chris Elite is Waluigi. Coming soon to pre-order!)
(“You Know My Name” by Chris Cornell is playing as Adam Lucas, Jon Kelton and Amir Yusuf are all ringside for this next match as the camera pans to Gina Romano for the next match…)
Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST FROM CHARLOTTE, NC.! WEIGHING IN AT 118 POUNDS…. “THE ENCHANTRESS” HARPER LEE!!!!
( ‘Sweet Dreams’ by Eurythmics, Annie Lennox & Dave Stewart starts to play throughout the arena as Harper Lee slowly comes out, looking around for a moment and smirking before walking toward the apron. She looks over at Adam Lucas, Amir Yusuf and Jon Kelton. Stepping into the ring in all her arrogance, she poses in the middle of the ring as the fans boo.)
Deadprez: Harper Lee thinks she should be the Captain of the Showdown Team Brand Warfare while Hurricane Hawk made it clear that no one is the team captain, but we can tell the rest of the team is looking at Adam Lucas.
Eve: They really are, as Adam has acted like a leader compared to Harper who is just an insufferable bitch.
Gavin Kirkland: Well, if my hot Asian gal has anything to say about it, Harper Lee may not have a claim to being the Captain.
(Harper glares at her teammates before her theme fades, it is replaced by ‘ Warning!’ by BAND-MAID as Ayu Megumi comes running out wearing her mask, she waves before running toward the ring….)
Gina Romano: HER OPPONENT HAILS FROM OKINAWA, JAPAN! WEIGHING IN AT 115 POUNDS! “THE AMAZING GIRL” AYU MEGUMI!!!
(She slides in the ring and takes off her mask, posing to the crowd and waving as they cheer for her. Harper does not look impressed.)
Deadprez: Ayu Megumi has been impressing a lot of people, she was part of the Match of the Week with Dr. Bethany Blue and while we know how confident and arrogant she is, the Good Doctor not only praised her effort but gave her respect, that is what this young woman has done in her short time in the EAW and now part of the Showdown Team.
Eve: She really has made some huge impressions here in the EAW and we all know that this match is another huge one for her. Harper Lee does not want to lose this match.
Gavin Kirkland: I’m in love.
(The referee checks on both wrestlers as he calls for the bell….)
(DING!!!!!!!!! DING!!!!!!!!!!!! DING!!!!!!!!!!!!)
(Harper and Ayu circle the ring as they lock up, Ayu quickly with an arm drag, but Harper lands on her knees, she springs up and charges in, but Ayu hits a hip toss, Harper kips up, she looks livid and charges Ayu again but is met……
Deadprez: Dropkick right to the kisser of Harper! And she rolls out of the ring right in front of Adam, Kelton and Amir who are all smiling! Harper paces some as the referee is about to start a count….
Harper Lee: (Off Mic) DON’T YOU DARE START TO COUNT! TIME OUT!
Referee: (Off Mic) Get in the ring then!
Eve: Smart move by Harper, get out of the way and try to figure this out, Ayu comes flying out of the gate, slow it down, at this pace Ayu will win every time!
Deadprez: Harper doesn’t look happy at all, her hand firmly on her cheek from the dropkick. Harper is walking around the ring, before sliding into the ring and Ayu quickly is kicking her as she is down, Harper gets back up to her feet and Ayu with a quick Head Scissors takedown! Harper can’t get anything going early in this match!
Eve: Ayu has her on the ropes right now and she can’t figure her out, we saw the same with Bethany and Ayu in their first match, it took the Doctor time in the match to settle in and really figure out her offense but that is the beauty of this young talent, she is very unorthodox at times and can really play off the strengths and weaknesses of her opponents.
Gavin Kirkland: They are contrast in styles; this is what makes it so exciting to watch besides both being beautiful. I like how she flies.
Eve: I know there is something perverted connected to that statement.
Gavin Kirkland: Me!? Never!
Eve: Harper is trying to regroup herself, as she circles the ring again, Ayu needs to keep up this pace, locking up with Harper, Knee to the gut of Ayu! Rake of the eyes! Harper now taking out the bag of tricks! Harper whips Ayu into the ropes, but she climbs them, Harper charging in, NO! Ayu with a Moonsault and lands on her feet, Harper turns around… ENZINGUIRI BY AYU! Harper looks fazed and Ayu with a Northern Lights Suplex and bridge for the pin!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Sexy Pixie kicks out!
Deadprez: Look how fast Ayu is, she is already running against the ropes, Harper is back up and Ayu with a flying body press, NO! Harper catches her, Back Breaker! Wait, Harper doesn’t let her go, lifting up Ayu again, another backbreaker before disposing of her like she was nothing! Harper runs against the ropes, leg drop! She has taken control now and Harper wants to slow this match down, she wants to make this into her game and slow down the speed of the match. Harper picking up Ayu by the hair, SNAPMARE BY HER HAIR! AND ANOTHER! AYU IN A SITTING POSITION… HARPER WITH A STIFF KICK TO THE BACK AND SHE BOUNCES OFF THE ROPES… BASEMENT DROPKICK!
Eve: Harper now is putting together a really good offensive chain! Ayu is in a lot of trouble and look at Harper, how she is glaring over at her Brand Warfare Team! There is trouble brewing, it is no secret that her and Adam Lucas simply do not get along.
(Harper sits up, glaring at Adam and pointing at Ayu, then back at herself with a smirk. Adam looks on shaking his head as she gets back up and grabs Ayu by the hair, whipping her into the ropes, ducking for a back body drop….)
Eve: DDT BY AYU! SHE PLANTED HARPER! Ayu is back up to her feet, she is climbing the top rope, where Harper is down, MOONSAUT BY AYU AND SHE LANDS ON HARPER HOOKING THE LEG FOR THE COVER!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Eve: Harper Lee Kicks Out! Ayu needs to do a lot more than that if she is going to defeat Harper Lee! She needs to keep on the tempo of the match, make it to her comfort level, she has to fight her game and not Harper’s who is a lot more meticulous in her attack!
Gavin Kirkland: She looks so gorgeous through the air, and Harper on her back, man…. Anyway, Ayu is waiting for Harper to get back up, slowly, Ayu runs against the ropes, SHINING WIZARD ON HARPER! Adam is clapping along with Kelton and Yusuf! What great team members they are to Harper!
Deadprez: Ayu has Harper back up, she runs against the ropes, springboard off the second rope… DRAGON FIST BY HARPER LEE! THE RIGHT HOOK IN MID-AIR AND AYU MEGUMI CRASHED AND BURNED! Harper came out of nowhere with that right hand and took Ayu out and look now, she hooks Ayu into the Devil’s Fruit! The Calf Crusher and Ayu is screaming! She needs to just tap out and not risk injury here!
Eve: I would tend to agree with you Prez but Ayu is not a quitter! Harper Lee has the move locked in tight in the middle of the ring and Ayu has nowhere to go! Adam is encouraging her to fight on and I think it is helping, Ayu is trying to make it to the ropes, though Harper is fighting it and standing her base!
(Harper Lee presses harder as Ayu screams in pain, biting the top of her hand trying to take the suffering and not tap out. Ayu lifts her hand ready to tap but continues to fight, screaming while slowly crawling to the ropes, Harper though continues to hold back, pressing harder and harder as Ayu crawls closer to the ropes and then…..)
Gavin Kirkland: Hottie is trying to reach for the ropes, her fingertips are there! She may actually make it! How great would this be if….. SHE MADE IT! Ayu grabs the ropes and Harper is screaming in frustration as the referee is counting her to break the Devil’s Fruit!
1!
2!
3!
4!
(Harper breaks the hold, angry she grabs Ayu and drags her back to the middle of the ring, trying to apply it again but Ayu kicks Harper off, Lee bounces off the ropes, charging in, Clothesline, Ayu ducks, Harper turns….)
Deadprez: SACRED ARROW! SHE JUST KICKED HARPER IN THE FACE AND LEE CRUMBLES TO THE MAT! ADAM CHEERS ON AS AYU FALLS ON HARPER FOR THE PINFALL!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THREE…………
Deadprez: HARPER GETS HER SHOULDER UP! AYU THOUGHT SHE HAD THAT MATCH WON! Ayu isn’t wasting anytime, but she is limping now, the Devil’s Fruit did it’s damage and she is climbing the top rope, slower than usual, trying to get up there… WAIT! HARPER IS BACK UP AND STEP-UP KNEE ON AYU! MEGUMI FALLS ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE AND HARPER CLIMBS UP, HOOKS AYU IN THE AVALANCHE POISONRANA! AYU TOOK A BAD FALL AND HARPER QUICKLY HOOKS THE LEG FOR THE COVER!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THREE…….
Eve: UNBELIEVABLE! AYU MEGUMI KICKS OUT! HARPER IS BESIDE HERSELF!
(Harper springs up and starts slapping her hand hard like she wanted a fast count, but the referee waves it off holding up two fingers. Harper screams again in anger, staring at Adam who is laughing some, Amir and Kelton both shrug their shoulders as Harper picks up Ayu by the hair and whips her into the turnbuckle….)
Eve: Harper Lee charging in, Shoulder block on Ayu! And another! And another! Harper lifts her back up in a seated position of off the top rope, setting her up and HURRICARANA! NO! AYU HUNG ON AND HARPER LANDED FACE FIRST ON THE MAT! SHE IS SLOWLY GETTING UP AND KYODAINA NAMI! THE CORKSCREW SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMB ON HARPER LEE AND THIS ONE IS OVER!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: NO! HARPER LEE WITH A LAST SECOND SHOULDER UP! HARPER LEE WAS ABLE TO GET A SHOULDER UP AND THE CROWD CAN’T BELIEVE IT! WE CAN’T BELIEVE IT! THIS IS SO SEXY!
(Adam stands there shaking his head, Amir and Kelton look on surprised that Harper Lee kicked out. Ayu turns to the referee and holds up three fingers, but he shakes it off and holds up two. Ayu slowly gets back up and picks up Harper, hooking a front face lock, running up the ropes for a Springboard DDT…. )
Deadprez: HARPER THROS HER OFF! AYU HITS THE MAT HARD AND IS BACK UP…. RAGNAROK! HARPER HIT THAT WITH ALL SHE HAD AND HOOKS THE LEG! THIS COULD BE IT!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THREE…….
Deadprez: ANOTHER SHOULDER UP BY AYU MEGUMI! THERE IS NO QUIT IN THIS YOUNG WOMAN! Harper again can’t believe it! She is stunned, trying to get back up, picking up Ayu and placing her head between the legs, she picks her up for a Piledriver but Ayu struggles and starts swinging her legs around freely! She tries again on Ayu and this time Ayu flips her over! Harper lands on her feet, turning around, AYU WITH A STUNNER! HARPER STUMBLES BACK AND AYU HITS THE GTH! THE ARGENTINE BACDKBREAKER INTO THE GTS AND HARPER LEE IS OUT COLD!
Adam Lucas: (Off Mic) PIN HER AYU!!!!
(Ayu Megumi falls on Harper Lee as the referee drops for the cover….)
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

…….
Gavin Kirkland: SEXY PIXIE KICKS OUT AGAIN! SHE KICKS OUT AGAIN AND THE ENITIRE ARENA IS IN SHOCK! THEY CANNOT BELIEVE IT! NONE OF US CAN! AYU MEGUMI LOOKS STUNNED! SHE IS WONDERING WHAT SHE HAS TO DO TO PUT HARPER LEE DOWN!
Eve: Ayu is back up, she has to continue the onslaught, it is the only way she can win this match! Harper Lee might be a lot of things, but she is very tough and hard to beat! Harper is slowly getting up with he help of the ropes, she is dazed and confused, AYU FROM BEHIND AND SHE TRIES THE GTH AGAIN BUT HARPER ELBOWS AYU! SHE IS STUNNED DROPPING HARPER, EXPLODER SUPLEX BY HARPER! AYU LANDS AWKWARDLY AND SHE PICKS HER UP AGAIN…. PILEDRIVER AND HARPER HAS TAKEN AYU MEGUMI DOWN BUT SHE IS NOT DONE!
Deadprez: She is climbing the ropes, up to the very top! Ayu is barely moving! HARPER DIVES… RED SKULL HEADBUTT! FROM THE TOP ROPE AND SHE HOOKS THE LEG FOR THE COVER!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
…….
……..
Deadprez: AYU MEGUMI KICKS OUT AND LOOK AT HARPER LEE!
(Harper is beside herself arguing with the referee. Adam is smirking as she dives out of the ring and gets right in his face but Amir and Kelton both get in-between the partners who need to be on the same page.)
Harper Lee: (Off Mic) YOU THINK THIS IS FUNNY!?
Adam Lucas: (Off Mic) Actually I do.
(Harper looks ready to strike but they all get out of the way as she turns…..)
Deadprez: AYU MEGUMI WITH THE HANDSPRING CORKSCREW MOONSAULT TO THE OUTSIDE ON HARPER LEE! SHE JUST TOOK OUT HARPER AND AYU PICKS HER UP AND THROWS LEE BACK IN THE RING! AYU HOPS ON THE TOP MIDDLE ROPE AND FROGSPLASH! SHE HOOSK THE LEG FOR THE COVER!
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THREE…….
Gavin Kirkland: ANOTHER KICK OUT BY SEXY PIXIE! AYU DOESN’T STOP THIS TIME, SHE HAS HARPER BACK UP TO HER FEET, STEP UP ENZIGURI AND HARPER FALLS TO ONE KNEE, AYU REARS BACK, SUPERKICK! RYO NO IKARI! HARPER FALLS AND AYU MEGUMI IS POINTING TO THE TOP ROPE! SHE SLOWLY CLIMBS!
Eve: Still with her bad leg but Ayu is going to the very top, she is up there and waits as Harper is motionless in the ring! LEAP! AYU MEGUMI WITH THE LEAP! NO!!!!! HARPER LEE GETS OUT OF THE WAY AND AYU LANDS ON HER FEET! WAIT HER LEG BUCKLED! HARPER FROM BEHIND HOUSE OF BALLOONS! HARPER LEE STRUCK WITH THE HOUSE OF BALLOONS AND SHE HOOKS THE LEGS FOR THE COVER!
(Adam looks on and slams the mat….)
Adam Lucas: (Off Mic) COME ON AYU! KICK OUT!
(The referee drops down for the cover….)
ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(DING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DING!!!!!!!!!!!!! DING!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Gina Romano: HERE IS YOUR WINNER, HARPER LEE!!!!!
(Harper rolls off Ayu Megumi with a smirk on her face but wincing in pain. She turns to Adam Lucas and the rest of Team Showdown, pointing at herself as Adam just shakes his head. “Sweet Dreams” start to play throughout the arena as the referee raises her hand. Ayu stirs, slowly rolling to her side as Adam slides into the ring with Amir Yusuf and Jon Kelton to check on her.)
Deadprez: Tough loss for Ayu Megumi but again the young woman showed heart, desire and came out swinging to the fences, there were many times that she had this match won, it was fast paced but in the end, Harper Lee was too much, but you gotta see that each match, Ayu gets better.
Eve: She really is, and it was unfortunate that she couldn’t pick up the win tonight, but she came out and proved that she can hang with the talent on Showdown and the EAW. Ayu is going to be a star and she is shining bright, but it belonged to Harper Lee and her claim to being a Team Captain will not let up after this.
Gavin Kirkland: While this makes me sad, we saw two women that are at the top of their game and look good doing it in all ways!
(Harper continues to smile while watching Adam and company check on Ayu as she nods to tell them she’s okay. Harper climbs to the second rope and poses as she is rained with boos.)
(The camera fades back to the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia. The excited fans cheer in excitement as the Showdown blue lights spin around the stadium until they turn a bright golden glow as ‘Trust Nobody’ by Killy hits. It turns the excitement of the crowd is a deep groan as Ad Infinitum slowly emerges onto the stage, lapping up the negative reaction from the crowd as they head towards the ring)
Gina Romano: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN PLEASE WELCOME…THE TEAM OF VEENA ADAMS AND CHARLIE MARR..AAAADDDDD IIIIINNNNFFFFFIIIIIIINNNNNIIIIIITTTTTUUUUMMMMMM!!!!!
Deadprez: What a tremendously chaotic finish that we saw last week to end Saturday Night Showdown where Charlie Marr, along with Veena Adams, opted to abandon the stellar main event match between Marr and the Answers World Champion Kassidy Heart to go after TLA and Cameron Ella Ava as they made their presence known. Both teams brawling, throwing fists left and right making it well clear that the bitterness that exists between the two sides isn’t going away anytime soon.
Eve: Have to wonder if the fact that they weren’t able to successfully distract TLA and Cameron during their match against Jon Kelton and Amir Yusuf isn’t sitting too well with them even a week later. The last two weeks even have been forgettable to say the least; from being, in their words, ‘humiliated’ and then last week failing to cost their bitter foes their match. I hate to imagine just how desperate these two are going to get the longer it drags out.
Gavin Kirkland: You know who isn’t desperate Eve? ME!!
Eve: :usure:
Gavin Kirkland: Yes damn. Why would I be desperate when I get to see such goddesses before my very eyes each and every week?!? There’s nothing I enjoy more than seeing both of them scratch and claw at one another; I get my fix each and every week just like right now and you know as well as I do, where there’s one, the other isn’t too far behind 🤤🤤
(‘Trust Nobody’ by Killy dies down though the boos continue to ring loud, only increasing in volume with little else drowning them out. Veena Adams and Charlie Marr remain flat footed in the center of the ring, hardly swayed by the reaction of the audience but a clear look of dissatisfaction sinking in.)
Veena Adams: This world can be so cruel at times. How could two people like us could somehow have so much misfortune? There isn’t a realistic, logical answer to it at all. Instead, Charlie and I have spent the last two weeks on the wrong end of…well, everything. From having my beautiful face kicked in to Charlie having one of the biggest victories of his year being taken away from him, this has all been far from ideal.
Crowd: YOU DESERVE IT! YOU DESERVE IT! YOU DESERVE IT! YOU DESERVE IT! YOU DESERVE IT! YOU DESERVE IT! YOU DESERVE IT! YOU DESERVE IT!
(Veena cracks a stoic grin, far from delighted by the crowd’s chant. After a moment, the chant dies down and Veena resumes)
Veena Adams: For weeks I have had this insufferable nuisance in my life that I just can’t seem to get rid of. And really, what is it all over, hmm? I simply told Cameron Ella Ava that it would be best for her to pay attention to her surroundings, best to pay attention to where she is. That’s all. It’s a really easy message to understand but I guess it’s difficult when you can’t lean on your husband to guide you as it turns out that’s not good enough for her. Instead she feels the need to inject herself into our business, she believes she has a place in what doesn’t concern her to begin with. The endearing role model she wants to be to women and her child has one costly error and that is thinking that THIS is the right battle to fight, that being there to defend someone like TLA of all people is worth it just to prove that she ‘won’t be intimidated’.
(The crowd boos once again at Veena who hasn’t changed her irritated expression one bit. She instead hands the microphone over to Charlie, who gladly takes it)
Charlie Marr: Last week I had the Answers World Champion laying in the palm of my hands, inches away from defeating her and I don’t think I need to tell anyone just how much joy that would have brought the two of us watching Kassidy Heart be victimised by my hands. Except, we made a mistake. We allowed the two of you to still be breathing, to still be able to walk instead of being wheeled out that evening on stretchers. I have to hand it to you, TLA. I really do but I shouldn’t be surprised by your tenacity and your stubbornness to leave this all behind. You have fought back, just like Cameron, refusing to be intimidated putting yourself back in front of the two of us and yet there isn’t a shred of doubt in the minds of anyone in here tonight or watching that the few opportunities you have had to get away, live to fight another day, are quickly evaporating. Your final chapter is coming closer and closer to it’s finale and it won’t have a happy ending. You can only run so often, you can only live for so many days until you find yourself chancing your arm just one too many times and it costs you.
Veena Adams: And that final chance is arriving sooner than you may think. This isn’t going to be a battle that drags on and on any longer, this isn’t something that is going to take months to resolve itself, instead we’re going to make sure that this ends at Clash of Kingdoms II: Shores of Gold. And so, we have a proposal for the two of them and this is a proposal that we would like to make…more…face to face.
(Veena drops the microphone to her side as the crowd eagerly cheers the other team to emerge. ‘ULTRAnumb’ by Blue Stahli plays through the arena causing an unbelievably loud eruption of cheers from the crowd. After a second, Cameron Ella Ava steps onto the stage in front of the capacity crowd with a microphone clutched in one hand. She grins from hear to hear knowing full well the problems she and TLA have caused for Veena and Charlie)
Deadprez: Veena Adams surely can’t be surprised that, of all people, Cameron Ella Ava isn’t backing down here? The Goddess of Elite Answers Wrestling has made a career out of defying many, including Veena’s uncle. Ad Infinitum would rank quite low on the list I would reckon.
Gavin Kirkland: It’s not just Cameron that’s a bad choice, but my boi TLA! He NEVER backs down and everyone knows that he’s going to embrace every challenge that’s laid before him. It’s bold, extremely bold to challenge one of them at the best of times, but BOTH?!? I don’t think there’s anything that Veena Adams and Charlie Marr can propose that doesn’t end with them on the wrong end of the outcome!
(‘Ambitionz az a Ridah’ by Tupac immediately takes over as the crowd continues to maintain it’s vocal applause much to the dismay and disgust of the two in the ring. Likewise after a second or two, TLA walks through the curtain and onto the stage to stand beside Cameron, likewise with a microphone in hand. He plays it up to the crowd, encouraging them to get louder. However the two remain situated at the top of the ramp, not interested in getting into the faces of Adams and Marr)
Cameron Ella Ava: You know, these days there’s a lot more things in life that I enjoy but for the longest time there was few better than humiliating an Adams. What happened last week, hmmm Veena? The two of you coming down to pay us a little visit, trying to get yourselves involved in our match, trying to distract us. Except, it didn’t work, did it? Instead you could only stand there like a goof watching TLA and I defeated Amir and Jon. But it didn’t take much to set your dog off, right? All we had to do was show up and immediately you came racing towards us looking for a fight. If you still can’t seem to figure it out, the theme of all of this seems to be that the grandiose threat you made to me about ‘pay attention to where I am’ deal doesn’t quite seem to be something that you’re able to successfully back up. Then again, you’re just Veena Adams after all…and he? Well…
(Cameron turns her attention to TLA who shrugs his shoulders before cracking his typical wide smile)
TLA: :mjlol: ayo where do I begin with my man Charlie Marr? Cam was right ya know, you’re just a perro tied to his leash, barkin when he’s told to. Mans made a whole lot of talk about how this is supposed to be the ‘final chapter’ or whatever the fuck you wanna call it of yo boi’s career but I’ve heard that shit for years and it ain’t ever come to pass. All you’ve done until this point is bite when she told you to bite, snap when she told you to snap; nothin is coming from you homie that’s on your own accord it seems.
Charlie Marr: Is that so? How about you come down here and I’ll show you otherwise…
TLA: :mjlol2: !!!!
(An infuriated Marr remains in the ring despite TLA’s laugh)
TLA: Nah nah nah, when the time comes I’ll make sure to give that dome of your’s a good dent with my boot. We out here to hear this little proposal the two of you wanna give us. But truth be told? What the hell do you think you can offer us that’s gonna give either of you a chance in beating us? Cam and I might not have the greatest of pasts, a lotta spotty history being on opposite sides even costing me a World Championship at one point. The past is the past tho and all it took was a common enemy for us to bury the hatchet and get on the same page. It don’t matter what your proposal is, Charlie, I’ll still beat you to a fuckin pulp.
(The crowd roars in approval as both Cameron and TLA fist bump to showcase their unity. In the ring, Veena chuckles, shaking her head at the
Veena Adams: Of course you would rush head first into this without even hearing it first and foremost. It really goes to show just how delusional the two of you are to recognise and understand just how out of depth you are. After all, only one of us here has a means of getting whatever she wants. As I said before, this proposal is for Clash of Kingdoms II and as everyone is aware, it will be hosted by our partners in Kuwait. And being one of the most progressive countries of all the Arab nations, Charlie and I thought there was no better way to get everything we wanted by offering a history-making opportunity. So how about this? The two of you against Ad Infinitum, in a mixed tag team match.
(The crowd roars in approval as both TLA and Cameron nod their heads in favour of the match, a look on their face seemingly indicating joy in being able to face them, but confusion as to why they were brought out here. Enough so that Cameron raises the microphone to speak)
Cameron Ella Ava: Wait…is tha– :wtf:
Charlie Marr: There is a caveat to it….
Cameron Ella Ava: 😒
(Cameron drops the microphone and rolls her eyes)
Charlie Marr: As much as I would certainly love to rip your head off your shoulders Cameron, consider yourself fortunate. More, I consider it fortunate that it isn’t me doing it. See, the caveat is that in this mixed tag team match, you and Veena will square off, leaving me all alone with the unfortunate, dead man walking beside you. Now TLA, you can consider it a good thing that you can take a moment, collect your breath by tagging out but when Veena shocks the world by holding her own against someone like Cameron, you’re going to find yourself being forced to once again face me. This is a match that makes running away impossible. This is a match where there is an illusion of help, an illusion of assistance. You might as well be walking into that ring alone because there won’t be anyone there to lift you up when you need it most and there won’t be anyone to stand in my way of putting an end to you for good. So, what do you say? Accept?
(The capacity crowd heavily boos Charlie as both he and Veena smirk at their proposal, believing to be in full control and the ones who will benefit the most)
TLA: I ain’t sure how many times I gotta repeat myself but damn imma do it again. No matter when, no matter where, no matter how, I’m gonna beat you to a pulp the best chance that I get and if it means that it’s gonna be in three weeks in Kuwait? Then sign me up, I’m looking forward to making you my bitch.
(From one extreme to the other, the chorus of jeers become overwhelming cheers as TLA turns to Cameron. She, maintaining a wide smile, can’t help but take her eyes off Veena whose proud confidence remains in the ring)
Cameron Ella Ava: It’s hilarious, Veena, to think that a match like this works for the two of you. You’re putting all your chips on Charlie to take you all the way, huh? Because Charlie, as much as you may want to dress this match up as TLA being unable to escape from you, it’s Veena who should be incredibly concerned. For you, there won’t be any escape from the Goddess; no chance to run, no chance to breathe, no chance to rest and I’m going to find immense satisfaction in picking you apart. So naturally, I accept.
(Wasting little time, ‘ULTRAnumb’ by Blue Stahli plays through the arena’s PA system once again to the crowd’s roaring approval. Both TLA and Cameron drop their microphones on the stage though keep their place, staring down to Ad Infinitum in the ring who haven’t moved an inch. Both teams displaying immense confidence)
Eve: WOW what a massive tag team match set for Clash of Kingdoms II! After weeks of harsh words, intimidations, brawls and shere violence these two teams are finally going to go head to head and under such historic circumstances!
Gavin Kirkland: PLEASE please don’t tell me they’re going to also have to wear those full body suits again 🤢 IF this is all for ‘PROGRESSION’ then I don’t think there’s a better way MORE than just this historic match, then allowing both Cammy and Veena to wear their usual gear 😍
Eve: ugh…pervert.
(‘ULTRAnumb’ continues to play as finally Cameron and TLA both take their leave and the camera fades to black)
( “Enemy Strike” by Yuki Hayashi echoes throughout the State Farm Arena to the chagrin of the sold-out Georgia crowd in attendance. Myles approaches the entranceway—unfazed by what this American state thinks about him as he sluggishly brings his Cash In The Vault briefcase with him. Myles poses on the stage before impatiently making his way down to the squared circle. )
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST!—From Melbourne, Australia, weighing in at 215 pounds—HE IS MR. CASH IN THE VAULT, MYYYLESSSSSSSSSSS!!!
Deadprez: Myles has to be walking into this second triple threat main event of the week after New Eden squandered their opportunity to plant their flag into the heart of Dynasty yesterday. Team Showdown was able to overpower the controversial trio and he has the opportunity to stick it to them tonight. What better way to get revenge is to get on top and be the face of the closing moments on your enemy’s territory? Myles knows that he best be careful on the ground he is currently treading on because Territorial: Invasion season is bound to bring the most chaos in the year.
Eve: Myles has the opportunity to build momentum for New Eden before the go-home show and the final triple threat where his other comrade, Drake King, will be going head-to-head against Lethal Consequences and SOSA Henderson—two individuals that have been a nuisance to the reigning EAW World Champion in the past. Myles has waged war with the toughest in Elite Answers Wrestling and he has one of the fastest rising 2021 out of the elitists this year and getting a victory over Impact and Andre Walker is one of the best ways to get your name further on the map. However, Myles isn’t here for that sole purpose. He is here to search and destroy, and whoever stands in his way will definitely feel their consequences.
( “M3tamorphosis” by Playboi Carti ft. Kid Cudi blasts through the speakers to an ear-deafening reaction. Myles immediately gets overcome with disgust as Impact gradually descends from the guerilla position and appears on the stage. )
Gina Romano: AND HIS OPPONENTS! FIRST!—From Seattle, Washington, weighing in at 221 pounds—HE IS THE MOST WATCHED CHAMPION IN HISTORY, IIIMMMPPPACTTT!!!
Gavin Kirkland: The three individuals who will be representing Friday Night Showdown colours at Territorial: Invasion at the Stadium Stampede clash—Impact, Lethal Consequences, and Theron Nikolas—have been able to showcase a sense of unity and that is instrumental if we want to bring the bragging rights home. Before we saw Dynasty go off air, Theron Nikolas went crashing into the table and Team Showdown was aforementioned unsuccessful in trying to get one over New Eden.
Deadprez: All three teams are surely very emotionally affected by what went down on Friday Night Dynasty and what will happen in the next two days will help set the mood for Territorial: Invasion. We are almost a week away from the debut of the Stadium Stampede and judging from what we have seen from all nine competitors competing in that match—this will definitely be a match for the books!
( “Rockstar” by N.E.R.D begins to play to a monsoon of boos heavily raining down onto Andre Walker and Albert Hitchman. Andre Walker jerks the curtain and stoically stands on the stage before both individuals synchronously stomp down the ramp and into the squared circle. )
Gina Romano: AND ACCOMPANIED TO THE RING BY ALBERT HITCHMAN—From the Isle Of Samoa, weighing in at 245 pounds—HE IS THE NOTORIOUS KAISER, ANDREEE WALKERRRR!!
Eve: Impact and Myles better consider Albert Hitchman in this triple threat because Andre Walker’s specially appointed advisor has gotten him success in the past before—specifically in triple threat matches at Operation: Doomsday. Hitchman has been the sole individual that has been able to buy Andre Walker time in the past and that time has gotten Andre Walker that bag. Will tonight be another match played in the favour of Andre Walker because of him? Myles definitely knows what it feels like as he saw him stick his nose into the Cash In The Vault match, but Myles and Impact arrive at every parley extremely prepared.
( DING! DING! DING! )
Deadprez: This match is underway as all three competitors meet each other in the center of the ring. All representing their brands in the second Stadium Stampede preview this weekend, these competitors are impatiently waiting to prove their point in this match. They have all had a lot of words to say to each other and it is finally the time to see whose actions will leave the scene with the last laugh. Myles has begun to slowly raise his arms and signals for a test strength amongst the three. Andre Walker and Impact don’t seem so interested in engaging in this triple threat with such formalities as everyone surrounding them in this venue—in the midst of blowing this roof off with their voices—is just imploring them to get this fight fest set in motion!
Eve: Impact has remained static in his corner of the ring and lifts his arms off the top rope to approach Myles. Myles sees him approaching from the side and starts to direct his left arm towards his direction for the test of strength entry—AND HERE COMES ANDRE WALKER TO SHOOT FIRST FROM THE HIP WITH A STRAIGHT SHOOT KICK TO THE MIDSECTION!! MYLES GRABS HIS FOOT IN MID-AIR AND HOLDS IT IN PLACE!! IMPACT COMES OFF THE ROPES AS MYLES SHAKES HIS HEAD IN DISAPPOINTMENT!
Myles: (off-mic) You shouldn’t have done that…
Gavin Kirkland: AND BIG TITTIES THROWS HIS FOOT TO THE LEFT AND LOOKS TO LAND THE FIRST STRIKE IN THIS MATCH!! ANDRE WALKER THREW HANDS UP AND BLOCKED IT!! AND HE SHATTERS THE JAW OF MR. CASH IN THE VAULT WITH A PICTURE-PERFECT UPPERCUT STRIKE!! MYLES REELS INTO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE RING AS HERE COMES IMPACT!! AS HE UNLEASHES A FRENZY OF JABS TO THE FORMER NEW BREED CHAMPION!! THE MOST OVERWEIGHT CHAMPION IN HISTORY THROWING LEFTS AND RIGHTS TO ANDRE WALKER AS HE FINALIZES IT WITH A HAMMER STRIKE TO THE BACK BEFORE TAKING OFF TO THE ROPES!!
Deadprez: ANDRE WALKER EXPLODES INTO THE AIR AND GOES FOR A LEAPING CLOTHESLINE!! MYLES PULLS HIMSELF OUT OF THE CORNER IN TIME AND PULLS WALKER DOWN AS HE WAS IN THE AIR!! MYLES WITH A KICK TO THE MIDSECTION, UPKICK TO THE FACE, AND NOW FOLLOWED UP WITH A SWEEP TO THE LEGS!! THE KAISER HOPS TO AVOID THE SWEEP, BUT HE GETS MET WITH A DROPKICK COURTESY OF THE HALL OF FAMER AS HE DESCENDED! MYLES GETS UP TO HIS FEET AND TURNS IMPACT AROUND!! IMPACT GOES FOR A PUNCH—MYLES BLOCKS IT AND UNLEASHES ONTO HIM WITH A FURY OF JABS TO THE TORSO!! HE SPINS AROUND FOR A KICK TO THE MIDSECTION, TO THE FACE, AND THEN STOMPS DOWN ONTO HIS LEFT FOOT!!
Eve: IMPACT COUNTERS HIS COMBINATION AND MOVED HIS LEFT FOOT OUT OF THE WAY!! AND QUINTESSENTIAL HIMSELF SMASHES DOWN HIS RIGHT FOOT ONTO HIS LEFT FOOT!! MYLES GRABS HIS FOOT IN PAIN AS IMPACT LOOKS TO TAKE ADVANTAGE, BUT HERE COMES ANDRE WALKER STICKING HIS NOSE BACK INTO THE SITUATION!! WALKER GRABS HIS COLLAR TO TURN HIS ATTENTION TO HIM, BUT HE EATS A HANDFUL OF A KNIFE-EDGE CHOP FROM IMPACT!! Impact starts going onto a rampage and begins to land consecutive knife-edge chops across the chests of Walker and Myles. A second to Myles! A second to Walker! A third to Myles! A third to Myles! AND HE WINDS UP THE ENERGY FOR A FOURTH CHOP TO MR. CASH IN THE VAULT!! MYLES GOES UNDER THE CHOP, GRABS HIS HAIR AND YANKS HIM DOWN!! IMPACT IS DOWN ON ONE KNEE!! AND MYLES NOW TURNS HIS ATTENTION TO ANDRE WALKER!
Deadprez: ANDRE WALKER GOES FOR AN ELBOW TO THE FACE—MYLES GOES BENEATH AND JUMPS ONTO THE SECOND ROPE!! AND HE TWISTS IN THE AIR TO DESCEND ONTO THE KAISER!!! WALKER CATCHES HIM IN MID-AIR INTO A FIREMAN’S CARRY!! AN IMPECCABLY-TIMED CATCH IN THE AIR AS HE GOT HIM FOR THE SAMOAN DROP!! BUT MYLES FLIPS OFF HIS SHOULDERS!! AND GOES FOR A ROUNDHOUSE KICK!! WALKER SIDESTEPS IT, AND MYLES INADVERTENTLY FLOORS IMPACT WITH THAT ROUNDHOUSE KICK INSTEAD! IMPACT GOES DOWN TO THE CANVAS LIKE A SACK OF POTATOES! Myles didn’t expect to connect with that, but ended up knocking down Impact in the endgame. He turns around and sees Andre Walker charging in like a mack truck! THE PROTOTYPE LEAPS INTO THE AIR!! AND HE TEARS RIGHT THROUGH THE FACE OF MYLES WITH THAT JUMPING KNEE STRIKE!! MYLES GETS FOLDED LIKE AN ACCORDION!!
Gavin Kirkland: Andre Walker is finally the first individual to have this match under his belt while we are starting to see the flow decelerate. Walker walks over to Myles and pulls him up to his feet by his hair. He aggressively grabs him by the jaw and flips him over with the snapmare! MYLES MIRACULOUSLY USES THE MOMENTUM OF THE SNAPMARE TO FLIP ON HIS FEET!! BUT ANDRE WALKER—ONE STEP AHEAD—KICKS OUT THE LEGS FROM UNDER HIM AND LIGHTS UP THE BACK OF HIS NECK WITH A PELE KICK! A PENALTY KICK AND NOW WALKER RUNS THE ROPES!! IMPACT SLIDES BACK INTO THE FOLD AND FLOORS HIM WITH A FOREARM SMASH!! HE LOOKS TO SEE BOTH MEN IN SUPINE POSITIONS AS HE LEAPS ONTO THE SECOND ROPE FOR THAT MOONSAULT ONTO BOTH COMPETITORS! FLIGHT SIGHTS INCOMING!
Deadprez: IMPACT IS ONLY ABLE TO FLATTEN ANDRE WALKER WITH FLIGHT SIGHTS BECAUSE MYLES ROLLED OUT OF THE WAY IN THE NICK OF TIME! IMPACT IS CLUELESS AND TURNS AROUND TO EAT A HANDFUL OF THAT YAKUZA KICK FROM MR. CASH IN THE VAULT! Myles with a smirk on his face as he has the Hall Of Famer grounded in the center of the ring! He looks back and forth and chooses to leap onto the second rope! IS MYLES LOOKING TO TAKE A PLAY OUT OF HIS BOOK!! WAIT!! MYLES GETS TANGLED UP IN THE SECOND ROPE AS IMPACT KICKED HIS LEG!!!! IMPACT TURNS THE TIDES!! MYLES IS SUSPENDED FROM THE SECOND ROPE WHILE IMPACT LEAPS OFF THE ADJACENT ROPES!!! AND HE DRIVES DOWN THE ROPE-HUNG NEW EDENIST WITH FLIGHT SIGHTS!! IMPACT RECORDS THE FIRST PIN FALL ATTEMPT IN THIS TRIPLE THREAT!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Eve: KICK-OUT!! Impact is able to land two of his infamous second-rope moonsaults, but they are to no avail. It isn’t a surprise because even though that signature has put away many elitists in the past, Myles and Andre Walker are no ordinary elitists. They are beyond extraordinary and this triple threat was put together by management to see who’s pure abilities are the utmost superior. Impact is evidently superior to them in numbers, but the other two definitely do not lag behind taking mind with how fast they have climbed the corporate ladder in the past two years. Impact has completely made it up to his feet as he begins to slowly calculate his next movement. He better hurry up because Myles and Andre Walker are almost up to their feet as well!
Gavin Kirkland: IMPACT ELECTS TO ATTEMPT THE FIST OF FURY ONTO ANDRE WALKER!! IT MAKES SENSE TO QUICKLY ELIMINATE THE BIGGEST INDIVIDUAL IN THIS MATCH, BUT ANDRE WALKER WITH THAT INHUMANE AGILITY AS HE TURNS HIS WORLD UPSIDE DOWN WITH A JUMPING LARIAT!! IMPACT ROLLS OUT OF THE RING AND ANDRE WALKER AIMS TO GIVE THE SAME TREATMENT TO THE VOLTAGE ELITIST!! WALKER GOES FOR A CLOTHESLINE!! MYLES GRABS HIS ARM IN MID-AIR, FLIPS OVER IT, AND TRIES TO BRING HIM DOWN WITH A DDT! WALKER SHRUGS HIM OFF HIS SHOULDERS AND MYLES SHOOTS FOR A KICK!! WALKER GRABS HIS FOOT AND PULLS HIM INTO HIS GRASP—AND WALKER HURDLES HIM THREE-THIRDS ACROSS THE RING WITH A LEG-CAPTURE SUPLEX!! MYLES IS SCRAMBLING TO GET AHOLD OF HIMSELF HERE AS ANDRE WALKER IS SIGNALLING FOR THE ENDING HERE!
Deadprez: ANDRE WALKER CHARGES OVER FOR THE KAISER’S TOUCH!! WHAT THE!?!? IMPACT FLANKS HIM AND INTERCEPTS HIM!! AND HE DRILLS HIM ONTO THE TOP OF HIS HEAD WITH THAT MICHINOKU DRIVER!! THE ABSOLUTION CONNECTS TO ANDRE WALKER AS IMPACT SCRAMBLES TO GET THE COVER!! BUT HERE COMES MYLES!! AND HE BLASTS ONTO HIM WITH A DOUBLE FOOT STOMP TO THE BACK!! IMPACT JUST GOT SQUASHED LIKE AN INSECT AS MYLES GRABS HIM!! HE HOISTS HIM UP INTO THAT CANADIAN RACK!! AND HE PLANTS HIM DOWN WITH THAT TRANSITION DDT!! THE WRATH OF PANDORA IS UNLEASHED ONTO THE HALL OF FAMER AS MYLES HOOKS BOTH LEGS FOR THE WIN!! SHOULDERS ARE DOWN!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
T-
Eve: ANDRE WALKER GAINS CONSCIOUSNESS AND PUNCHES MYLES STRAIGHT IN THE JAW WHILE GROUNDED TO BREAK UP THE COVER!! Andre Walker is starting to become progressively impatient as he starts unveiling forearm smashes onto both individuals on the ground! He has pulled Myles and Impact closer to him as he starts hammering them down with forearm smashes to them! MYLES! IMPACT!! MYLES IMPACT!! This is the aggression that the longest reigning EAW New Breed Champion in history that will require him to take him higher that totem pole in this dog-eat-dog environment. Andre Walker has been channeling his darker, more hostile side of himself in that squared circle and it has gotten him success! Andre Walker starts to switch headbutts with both individuals before he grabs both heads! WHAT IS HE THINKING HERE?!
Gavin Kirkland: I THINK THE SAMOAN MAN IS GOING TO TRY TO TRAP BOTH INDIVIDUALS INTO GUILLOTINE CHOKE HOLD!! THERE IS NO WAY HE CAN DO THIS!!
Deadprez: ANDRE WALKER NEEDS TO WEAR THEM DOWN MORE BECAUSE MYLES AND IMPACT ARE BEGINNING TO MUSCLE THEIR WAY OUT OF THIS!! THESE TWO CAN EASILY SLIDE OUT OF HIS GRIP, BUT THEY ARE CHOOSING TO HOLD HIM AS THEY GET UP TO THEIR FEET!! MYLES AND IMPACT DEADLIFT WALKER OFF THE GROUND!! THE COMBINED STRENGTH OF THIS IS CLEARLY EASILY OVERPOWERING THE KAISER—AND THEY SLAM THEM DOWN WITH A TANDEM VERTICAL SUPLEX ONTO THE CANVAS!! A BIG TIME DOUBLE SUPLEX FROM SUNDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHTS AS ANDRE WALKER MIGHT BE MOMENTARILY CANCELLED OUT OF THIS VOLATILE EQUATION!
Eve: Impact and Myles are gingerly emerging to their feet now as they are at each other neck to neck! FOREARM SMASH FROM IMPACT!! MYLES LAUNCHES A HAYMAKER RIGHT!! IMPACT ROTATES FOR A DISCUS FOREARM SMASH!! MYLES BLOCKS IT WITH HIS WRISTS AND GOES FOR A KNEELIFT STRIKE!! IMPACT GRABS HIS KNEE!! HE SIMPLY SNATCHED IT IN MID-AIR AND SWEEPS THE LEG!! AND THE HALL OF FAMER IS TRYING TO TURN HIM INTO THE WALLS OF IMPACT!! THE DOUBLE-LEG BOSTON CRAB IS ON THE VERGE OF BEING FULLY SANCTIONED AS MYLES IS DESPERATELY REACHING THE ROPES!! REMEMBER, ROPE BREAKS DO NOT MATTER WITH TRIPLE THREAT RULES AS IMPACT CAN APPLY THAT WALLS OF IMPACT FOR HOWEVER LONG HE PLEASES!
Deadprez: THE VOLTAGE ELITIST BURIES HIS FOREARMS INTO THE CANVAS AND SWIMS HIS WAY TOWARDS THE ROPES REGARDLESS OF NO ROPE BREAK OR NOT!! Impact momentarily softens the submission hold to pull him away from the ropes—AND MYLES USES HIS HIPS TO THRUST IMPACT AWAY FROM HIM!! IMPACT SPIRALS INTO THE AIR AND ENDS UP FALTERING THROUGH THE ROPES!! IMPACT IS ABLE TO REMAIN SAFE ON THE APRON—BUT NOT FOR LONG!!—MYLES RUNS THE ROPES AND SENDS HIM OFF THE APRON WITH A KNEE STRIKE!!!! IMPACT TAKES A STEP BACK AND MYLES GETS HIS LEFT KNEE CAUGHT UP IN THE ROPES!! AND IMPACT USES THE OPPORTUNITY TO SEND HIM BACK INTO THE RING WITH A HEADBUTT TO THE TEMPLE!!
Gavin Kirkland: Impact leaps over the top rope and launches himself towards Myles! MYLES BEATS HIM TO THE CHASE WITH A CALF KICK RIGHT TO THE JAW!! IMPACT IS DOWN AND OUT AS MYLES GETS HIM UP TO HIS FEET!! AND GOES FOR THE DE FACTO!! IMPACT DRILLS HIM WITH REPEATED ELBOWS TO THE BACK OF THE NECK!! Myles is temporarily staggered while Impact rebounds off the ropes! TIDDIE-ROO COUNTERS THE REVERSE BULLDOG COUNTER AND SENDS IMPACT OVER THE TOP ROPE!! THE FATASS USES THE MOMENTUM TO LAND ONTO THE APRON AND CLIMB THE TURNBUCKLES!! THIS IS VINTAGE IMPACT HERE AS HE COMES OFF THE TOP ROPE!
Eve: NO!! MYLES FORCES IMPACT TO STAY SEATED ON THE TURNBUCKLE WITH A JUMPING KNEE STRIKE!!! IMPACT IS SUBCONSCIOUS IN AN EXTREMELY PRECARIOUS POSITION AS MYLES JOINS HIM ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE!! Mr. Cash In The Vault hoists him up in fireman’s carry position—Impact has not shown an ounce of resistance after that knee strike! HERE GOES MYLES!! HE LEAPS OFF THE TOP TURNBUCKLE WITH IMPACT IN THE FIREMAN’S CARRY!! AND DEPOSITS HIM ONTO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE!! THE SECOND DROP DOWN CONNECTS AS MYLES ISN’T DONE YET!! MYLES GRABS HIS LEFT HAND AND PULLS HIM INTO THE CENTER OF THE RING BEFORE LEAPING ONTO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE!! AND HE SPLASHES DOWN ONTO THE HALL OF FAMER WITH A FROG SPLASH!!
Deadprez: IMPACT GETS BOTH OF HIS KNEES UP!! MYLES WITH AN UNEXPECTED ENDING TO THAT FROG SPLASH WHEREAS IMPACT GETS TO STEPPING AND JUMPS ONTO THE SECOND ROPE!! AND ATTEMPTS FLIGHT SIGHTS!! FLIGHT SIGHTS GETS REJECTED DUE TO THE KNEES!! MYLES GETS RETALIATION AND COUNTERS FLIGHT SIGHTS BY GETTING HIS KNEES UP IN TIME AS BOTH INDIVIDUALS HOLD THEIR RIBS IN UTTER AGONY!! They are gingerly getting up to their feet while Andre Walker is in the background nonchalantly climbing the steel steps. Walker is just resting against the ringpost seeing these two fight it out! He shakes his head in disappointment—shaking off the cobwebs that formed after that double team maneuver moments ago—and steps into the ring.
Eve: AS SOON AS HE STEPS INTO THE SQUARED CIRCLE, MYLES AND IMPACT HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO TAKE THE FIGHT TO HIM!! ANDRE WALKER GRABS MYLES AND THRUSTS HIM INTO THE CORNER TURNBUCKLES BEFORE SENDING MYLES REELING INTO THE OTHER SIDE WITH THE KAISER’S TOUCH!! SUPERMAN PUNCH TO THE NEW EDEN MEMBER AS WALKER TURNS AROUND—IMPACT LEAPS OFF THE SECOND TURNBUCKLE!! AND GROUNDS WALKER WITH THE JUMPING BACK ELBOW—BUT WALKER COUNTERS IT WITH A SAITO SUPLEX IN MID-AIR!! THE STRENGTH OF WALKER IN DISPLAY AS HE IS SOMEHOW ABLE TO MAINTAIN HIS ARMS AROUND THE WAIST OF IMPACT!! HE PLUCKS THE HALL OF FAMER OFF THE GROUND AND DRIVES HIM DOWN WITH A BRIDGING DEADLIFT GERMAN SUPLEX!! COUNT IT REF!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THR-
Gavin Kirkland: IMPACT POWERS OUT AT TWO AND ANDRE WALKER APPEARS TO STILL HAVE THAT WAIST HOLD CINCHED IN!!! HE DEADLIFTS HIM UP AND GOES FOR A THIRD DEADLIFT GERMAN SUPLEX!! AND THIS TIME!! WALKER HOISTS HIM UP FOR THAT GERMAN SUPLEX WITH A LONGER DURATION AND DEPOSITS HIM ONTO THE SECOND TURNBUCKLE!! GERMAN SUPLEX INTO THE TURNBUCKLES AND THE UNMATCHED STRENGTH OF WALKER IS ON DISPLAY HERE!! WALKER WAS ABLE TO MANHANDLE ONE-THOUSAND POUNDS OF IMPACT THERE AND THAT IS UNBELIEVABLE!! IMPACT IS SHIPWRECKED AGAINST THE CORNER AS WALKER JUST MOCKS HI-
Deadprez: MYLES DARTS OUT FROM THE OPPOSING CORNER AND SENDS WALKER COLLIDING INTO IMPACT IN THE TURNBUCKLES WITH THAT SHOTGUN DROPKICK!! ANDRE WALKER PAINFULLY CRAWLS INTO THE CENTER OF THE RING WHILE IMPACT SILENTLY DROPS SUBCONSCIOUSLY ONTO THE RINGSIDE FLOOR!! A window of opportunity has slightly opened for Myles and he has to use this opportunity to the fullest extent! Andre Walker is up against the corner as MYLES NOW CHARGES INTO HIM!! FULL STEAM AHEAD FOR NEW EDEN!
Eve: WALKER INTERCEPTS AND SNATCHES HIM IN MID-AIR!! AND SPIKES HIM DOWN ONTO THE CANVAS WITH A RELEASE URANAGE SIDE SLAM!! DID YOU SEE THE BOUNCE THERE!??! MYLES WITH A DANGEROUS FALL FROM GRACE THERE AS WALKER WALKS BACK TO THE CORNER AND HYPES HIMSELF UP!! THE CROWD SHOWERS HIM WITH EVEN MORE BOOS—LOUDER AND ROWDIER—AS HE STOMPS TOWARDS MYLES!! AND LEAPS FOR THE KAISER’S TOUC—MYLES GRABS HIM IN MID-AIR AND HOLDS HIM UP!! LOOK AT THIS STRENGTH!! MYLES OUTPOWERING HIM RIGHT NOW AS WALKER DOESN’T KNOW WHAT TO DO!! HE IS FROZEN IS SHOCK AS MYLES IS HOLDING HIM UP IN AIR!! AND HE DROPS HIM DOWN!! AND HE CONNECTS RIGHT ON THE DOT WITH VICTORIA!! VICTORIA!!!

THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-
Deadprez: ALBERT HITCHMAN PULLS THE REFEREE BEFORE HE COULD HAMMER IN THE THIRD COUNT!! MYLES CAN’T BELIEVE IT!! MYLES IS IN PURE DISBELIEF AS HE HAD THIS MATCH WON FOR NEW EDEN!! Myles with a disappointed look on his face as he angrily stomps up to his feet and looks into the eyes of Albert Hitchman! Hitchman was the deciding factor that got Andre Walker his EAW Interwire Championship opportunity at Battle Of Egypt! Hitchman stands on the apron and laughs at Mr. Cash In The vault as I don’t think that is a very wise decision for your future health! We all saw what happened to Walter Bivens and I don’t think Albert Hitchman wants to be another casualty! Myles and Albert Hitchman see eye to eye while this is giving enough time on the clock for Andre Walker to recollect his thoughts! AND IT IS AS HE TURNS AROUND!
Eve: ANDRE WALKER CHARGES IN FOR HUNGER ON HILLSIDE—MYLES JUMPS OUT OF THE WAY OUT OF DESPERATION AND WALKER COLLIDES INTO HITCHMAN!! WALKER’S COLLEAGUE GOES CRASHING DOWN ONTO THE RINGSIDE FLOOR AS THIS AGGRAVATES THE FORMER EAW NEW BREED CHAMPION EVEN MORE!! MYLES WITH A RELIEVED LOOK ON HIS FACE, BUT I DON’T THINK IT IS A GOOD CONCEPT TO GET WALKER’S ANGER UP A NOTCH!! WALKER TURNS AROUND AND CHARGES INTO MYLES!! MYLES WITH THE KNEE STRIKE!! AND ANOTHER KNEE STRIKE!! MYLES WITH TWO CONSECUTIVE KNEE STRIKES AS HE HOOKS HIM UP!! AND HE SLAMS HIM DOWN FOR DE FACTO!! THAT IS IT!!
Gavin Kirkland: WHAT THE!?! ANDRE COUNTERS THE DE FACTO BY HOPPING OVER HIS SHOULDERS!! HE RUNS THE ROPES AND REBOUNDS OFF!! HUNGER ON HILLSIDE!! HUNGER ON HILLSIDE!! THAT RUNNING SPEAR ABSOLUTELY DECIMATES MR. CASH IN THE VAULT AS WALKER IS ABOUT TO COLLECT THAT MOMENTUM FOR TEAM DYNASTY HEADING INTO THE STADIUM STAMPEDE COMPETITION!! WALKER TAKES A FEW SECONDS TO GET THAT COVER IN BEFORE HE GETS THE LATERAL PRESS AND ONE LEG HOOKED!! COME ON!! THIS COULD BE IT!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Deadprez: IMPACT BREAKS UP THE PINFALL ATTEMPT BY CHUCKING THE STEEL CHAIR RIGHT TO THE HEAD OF ANDRE WALKER!! HE WAS ABLE TO MUSTER THE ENERGY TO CLIMB THE APRON AND THROW THE STEEL CHAIR FROM THAT DISTANCE—AND IT WAS AN SUCCESSFUL ATTEMPT! Impact gingerly steps through the ropes and crouches into a readied stance. Andre Walker is currently shaking the cobwebs that formed from that steel chair as he gets up off his knees! IMPACT JUMPS INTO HIS DIRECTION AND GOES FOR THE EVISCERATION!! BUT WALKER SIDESTEPS IT AND GRABS HIS HEAD FOR THE GUILLOTINE CHOKE HOLD! THE DYNASTY ELITIST APPLYING PRESSURE NOW AS HE GOT HIM IN THE CENTER OF THE RING!
Eve: MYLES COMES CLOSING IN FROM THE CORNER WITH THE STEEL CHAIR!! AND HE SWINGS FOR ANDRE WALKER’S HEAD!! BUT HE ENDS UP SMASHING IT INTO THE KNEES OF IMPACT!! IMPACT GOES DOWN ONTO THE CANVAS AS WALKER TURNS MYLES AROUND!! AND KNEES THE MIDSECTION!! WALKER GRABS THE WAIST, HOOKS THE ARM OVER AND HOISTS HIM UP INTO THAT SUPLEX POSITION!! IN POSITION FOR THE JACKHAMMER!! BUT MYLES ROLLS HIM UP INTO A SMALL PACKAGE!! WALKER CAUGHT UP IN A PRECARIOUS POSITION!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
TH-
Gavin Kirkland: WALKER TURNS THE TIDES ONTO HIM!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THR-
Deadprez: MYLES RELINQUISHES THE SMALL PACKAGE BEFORE THE THIRD COUNT—ALMOST INTENTIONALLY—AS HE CLINGS ONTO THE TIGHTS OF WALKER AND HOISTS HIM UP INTO THE AIR!! LO AND BEHOLD THE UNWORLDLY LIKE STRENGTH OF THE WARLORD!! AS HE DEADLIFTS THE DYNASTY ELITIST OFF THE CANVAS LIKE HE WEIGHS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING AND DROPS HIM WITH A FALCON ARROW!! IT CONNECTS!! AND IMPACT GETS UP TO HIS FEET AND KICKS MYLES IN THE FACE AS HE WENT FOR THAT FALCON ARROW COMBINATION PIN!!! MYLES ROLLS OUT OF THE RING AS IMPACT IS BEING THE OPPORTUNIST AS HE IS AND HOOKS BOTH OF THE LEGS OF IMPACT!! AND SQUATS INTO THE WALLS OF IMPACT!! THE WALLS OF IMPACT ARE APPLIED!!
Eve: THIS EXACT SUBMISSION MOVE HAS BEEN THE KEY TO A MYRIAD OF MONEY MATCHES FOR THE HALL OF FAMER AND IT COULD BE THE MORAL OF THE STORY IN TONIGHT’S MAIN EVENT!!! BUT ANDRE WALKER IS ABLE TO USE HIS HIP POWER TO THRUST HIM OFF HIS LEGS!! THE WALLS OF IMPACT HAS CRUMBLED AS BOTH IMPACT AND ANDRE WALKER CLASH INTO EACH OTHER INTO THE RING!!! AND THEY START UNLOADING ONTO EACH OTHER WITH JABS AND STRIKES!! IMPACT IS TRYING TO FEND OFF THE MONSTER PUNCHES WITH KNIFE-EDGE CHOPS AND PUNCHES TO THE FACE—BUT HE IS BEGINNING TO BE OVERPOWERED BY THE KAISER HIMSELF!
Gavin Kirkland: ANDRE WALKER REBOUNDS OFF THE ROPES AND AIMS TO DECAPITATE THE FAT OF FAMER WITH A CLOTHESLINE—IMPACT FLOORS HIM WITH A SPINNING WHEEL KICK!! THAT WAS LIKE A HIPPOPOTAMUS SPIRALLING DOWN LIKE A HURRICANE AS IMPACT IS IMPLORING FOR THE FORMER NEW BREED CHAMPION TO RETURN TO HIS FEET!! IMPACT IS APPEARING TO GO FOR THE EVISCERATION AND THIS WILL SURELY FINISH THE ANDRE WALKER ROADBLOCK NOW!! COME ON!! THIS HAS TO BE IT!! IMPACT LAUNCHES FORWARD FOR THE EVISCERATION!
Deadprez: BUT WALKER WITH LEAPING KNEE STRIKE!! IMPACT FALTERS INTO THE ROPES WHILE MYLES GETS AHOLD OF HIM!! AND PULLS HIM IN FOR A RIPCORD KNEE STRIKE!! WALKER GOES DOWN TO ONE KNEE AS IMPACT IS SEEN REBOUNDING OFF THE SECOND ROPE!! AND HE NAILS MYLES WITH A STEP-UP ENZIGURI!! ANDRE WALKER IS BACK UP TO HIS FEET AGAIN AS HE LEAPS UP INTO THE AIR!! AND HE GOES FOR THE KAISER’S TOUCH!! BUT IMPACT SOMEHOW ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY AND WALKER PUNCHES THE AIR!! IMPACT TURNS HIM AROUND!! AND NAILS HIM WITH THE FIST OF FURY!! BUT WALKER DODGIES IT AND HITS THE MONEYMAKER WITH A FIST OF FURY OF HIS OWN!!!! S HE GOES FOR THE CO—MYLES DRILLS HIM WITH A BACKSTABBER!! MYLES BLASTS HIM WITH THAT BACKSTABBER AS HE NOW PULLS HIM UP!! AND GOES FOR THE DE FACTO!!
Eve: HOWEVER! ANDRE WALKER IS REFUSING TO LET HIM HOIST HIM UP FOR THAT SPINNING PUMPHANDLE SLAM AS WALKER IS MAINTAINING HIS FEET PLANTED TO THE GROUND!! IMPACT REBOUNDS OFF THE ROPES AND SOARS OVER BOTH INDIVIDUALS’ SHOULDERS!! HE GRABS THE LEGS OF MYLES AND DRAGS HIM DOWN WITH A SUNSET FLIP!! AND HE SEAMLESSLY TRANSITIONS THE SUNSET FLIP INTO THE WALLS OF IMPACT!! WALKER IS SLOWLY GETTING UP TO HIS FEET AS IMPACT IS PLAYING WITH THE CHANCES THAT THE PAIN THRESHOLD IS BROKEN BEFORE WALKER REALIZES WHAT IS HAPPENING TWO INCHES AWAY FROM WHERE HE IS LYING!!
Deadprez: ANDRE WALKER IS ABLE TO REGAIN COMPLETE CONSCIOUSNESS AND WRAPS HIS LEFT ARM AROUND THE HEAD OF IMPACT!! WHAT IS THIS!?!? YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING ME!! WALKER IS APPLYING PRESSURE AS HE HAS THAT GUILLOTINE CHOKE HOLD ON IMPACT WHILE IMPACT HAS THE WALLS OF IMPACT CINCHED ON MYLES!! WHO WILL TAP OUT FIRST!! WHO WILL SUBMIT FIRST!! WILL MYLES SUCCUMB TO THE WALLS OF IMPACT FIRST OR WILL IMPACT BE PUT TO SLEEP IN THE CENTER OF THE RING COURTESY OF THE KAISER!! IMPACT STILL HAS THE WALLS OF IMPACT LOCKED IN STRONGER THAN EVER WHILE WALKER JUMPS UP AND GETS HIS LEGS AROUND IMPACT!! IMPACT HAS TO LET GO AS THERE IS NO WAY HE CAN SIMULTANEOUSLY SUPPORT THE WALLS OF IMPACT WITH THAT AMOUNT OF WEIGHT CUTTING OFF THE OXYGEN TO THE BRAIN!!
Eve: WE MIGHT SEE THE IMAGE OF PAIN FOR PRIDE BE REINTRODUCED INTO THE FABRIC OF REALITY AS IMPACT IS ON THE VERGE OF PASSING OUT!! ANDRE WALKER WITH A FANTASTIC DECISION OF HOW HE WANTED TO APPROACH THAT SITUATION!! WALKER IS ABOUT TO GET A VICTORY OVER YET ANOTHER HALL OF FAMER AND THERE IS NOTHING IMPACT CAN DO ABOUT IT BUT JUST WAIT IT OUT, FLAIL HIS ARMS, AND AWAIT FOR HIS CONSCIOUSNESS TO SHUT DOWN!! BUT HERE IS MYLES!! MYLES GINGERLY EMERgES UP TO HIS FEET AS ANDRE WALKER PULLS BACK MORE ON THE HEAD!! IMPACT IS OUT!! IMPACT IS OUT!
Deadprez: MYLES LEAPS INTO THE AIR!! AND DRIVES WALKER ONTO THE BACK OF HIS HEAD WITH A STANDING METEORA!! MYLES WITH THAT UNBELIEVABLE AMOUNT OF DISTANCE ACHIEVED FROM THAT LEAP OFF THE CANVAS AND NOW THE WALLS OF IMPACT ARE SUCCESSFULLY BROKEN OFF!!! MYLES IS PAINFULLY GETTING UP TO HIS FEET, TREMBLING TO THE BONES AS THIS TRIPLE THREAT HAS TAKEN A HUGE TOLL ON THESE THREE’S PHYSICAL CONDITION!! Myles uses the ropes to support his foundation before lining up Andre Walker in his sights! Myles slaps him two times before sending him off the ropes! MYLES RECEIVES HIM AND POPS HIM UP INTO THE AIR!
Gavin Kirkland: VICTORIA!! NO!! MYLES MISSES THE POP-UP JUMPING KNEE STRIKE BECAUSE ANDRE WALKER HAD THE WHEREWITHAL TO SPRING OVER HIS SHOULDERS!! AND MYLES WALKS RIGHT INTO THE EVISCERATION!! MYLES INADVERTENTLY LED HIMSELF TO HIS OWN EVISCERATION AFTER ANDRE WALKER JUMPING OVER HIM OBSTRUCTED HIS EYE VISION!! MYLES IS LAID OUT IN THE CENTER OF THE RING NOW AS ANDRE WALKER SPRINGS OFF THE ROPES!! AND GOES FOR THE SPEAR!

Gina Romano: HERE IS YOUR WINNER… IMPACT!!!
Deadprez: An unbelievable match and it leaves with Impact victories as the victory settles! Impact proves that he is the most cerebral competitor there is! Right when both of his opponents thought he had him nearing the great divide, Impact was able to be ahead of the curve and connect with his infamous double-knee backbreaker that has won him countless accomplishments around the globe. Impact with a counter to that spear that will be remembered for the years to come—When Andre Walker was up in the skies to land his signature spear, Impact had the wherewithal to get his knees up and Walker had no time to change course and landed right into the Evisceration! Congratulations to Impact!
Eve: Impact is able to get the last laugh after what transpired on Friday Night Dynasty! We were unable to see a legitimate result to the triple threat on Friday, but tonight we see Impact prevail over Dynasty’s Andre Walker and New Eden’s Myles. Another huge loss for New Eden and this will definitely be a loss that will have the Kaiser thinking for the next week or so leading up to Territorial: Invasion. We shall see where the road to the Stadium Stampede goes as the last triple threat preview is set to place tomorrow night on Sunday Night Voltage! Thank you everyone for tuning in and have a good night!
