Mikaela Street
(EAW intro plays…)
( RECAP – After the routine recap video, Showdown commenced with a huge six-man tag team match with ARIA, Pandora Paisley, and Usagi Senshi facing off with Roberto De La Rosa, Abel Atami, and Senator Casper. Aria and Senshi double teamed Senator Casper to obtain the victory. Next up, Kyra Phillips interrogates Jon Kelton about his post-match thoughts. Oliver Taylor tests his talents against the uprising Ronan Malosi in an unsuccessful attempt. After commercial break, EAW Universe is subject to a little family reunion between Cameron Ella Ava and Ms. Extreme as they discuss. Cameron Ella Ava warns her about the territory she is treading on with Drake King, but Camille assures that she will be just fine. Next up is Ayu Megumi vs. Ms Extreme; Megumi submits to the reverse armbar. Mikaela Street announces Lethal Consequences suffered a knee injury after Sierra’s attack that will put him on the shelf for up to eight week. This has Limmy Monaghan’s Road To Redemption match up in the air, for which Mikaela announces Sierra will be Consequences’ replacement. Following this announcement, Limmy Monaghan reunites with his former Insurgency partner, Donovan Duke in a closely-contested match. Monaghan was on the cusp of submitting Duke, until Ronan Malosi’s Dog Of Wars interrupts and breaks up the submission. Monaghan and Duke are able to fend them off, stand tall, and shake hands in the middle of the ring. Afterwards, Kyra Phillips catch Limmy Monaghan backstage for his thoughts about his Road to Redemption opponent. Monaghan is obviously disappointed in Limmy Monaghan’s performance and states that Sierra is biting off more than she can chew. Nextt, Amir Yusuf puts his EAW New Breed Championship on the line against Jon Kelton. Kelton orchestrates a surprise moment of the century and is able to win his first championship in a plethora of years. The main event is a hall of fame tag team match with Charlie Marr and Impact vs. Theron Nikolas and Adam Lucas with Kassidy Heart and TLA at ringside. Impact sustains the Level Up and God’s Requiem, giving the unlikely duo of Nikolas and Lucas the victory. The show closes with the Kassidy Heart raising her title on the announce table as everyone stare at each other.)
(As the image of Kassidy Heart fades to black, it is immediately followed by the beginning of “Brick Wall” by A Day To Remember reverberating throughout the Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse in Cleveland Ohio. As per usual, the EAW Universe chants “WE WRESTLE” in unison while blue and white pyro light up the stage. Bright lights illuminate through the smoke and light as the camera pans into the Showdown logo onto the main titantron. It then pans through various sections of the Ohio audience before it cuts to the ring with Gina Romano!.)
Gina Romano: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN…PLEASE WELCOME AT THIS TIME…YOUR LONGEST-REIGNING ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION IN HISTORY…KING KASS!!!!!!
(The crowd begins to shower boos at the Answers World Champion as “Monster” by Kayne West blasts through the speakers. King Kass walks out with the Answers World Championship wrapped around her waist, feeling good about herself, but you can tell that there’s a bit of serious in her, knowing the type of match up that she’s going to be apart of in about a week from now.)
Deadprez: We are here live on Showdown from Cleveland Ohio, just one week away from Road to Redemption! Do not adjust your volume because you heard that right — King Kass is now your LONGEST-REIGNING Answers World Championship, surpassing Theron Nikolas’ record of 247 days, which he’s held for about two years. This past Monday, Kassidy surpassed that record.
Gavin Kirkland: #NotMyAnswersWorldChampion. Just exactly what this woman needs, another accomplishment in her resume! At least, all of this suffering will end at Road to Redemption!
Eve: Now, I can understand that King Kass isn’t the most popular person around here, but she really earned that accomplishment. She carried the Answers World Championship scene since March, defeated some amazing challengers, and really raised the standard for the Answers World Championship.
Deadprez: She’s been a strong champion and that deserves a ton of credit. I just wished that she was more…
Gavin Kirkland: Likable?
Deadprez: You said it, not me.
(King Kass is already seen inside the ring as she raises the Answers World Championship above her head in a serious manner. “Monster” dies down, but the booing of the crowd has not. Somehow, the booing quiets down a bit, allowing King Kass to speak.)
King Kass: Damn, that feels great —“The longest-reigning Answers World Champion in EAW History.”
(Instantly, the crowd begins to boo once more as King Kass shakes her head and slightly chuckles at the reception that the crowd gives her. Instead of reacting loudly to her reaction, Kassidy keeps her head up, poised and confident. She is taking in the fact that her name is etched in the history books as the longest-reigning Answer World Champion.)
King Kass: Honestly, I’m not surprised. It’s not like I was ever given the respect that I deserved. Since day one, you all were praying for my downfall. You were hoping that my reign was a short and eventless one because you couldn’t accept the idea of me being able to defeat your so-called ‘favorites.’ Jack Ripley? Defeated. Consuela Rose Ava? Defeated. Jamie O’Hara? Defeated. TLA? Defeated Limmy Mon_han? Defeated. Impact? Defeated. Theron Nikolas—
(The crowd begins to reign in the boos even louder as she was about the name drop the man, who she took that record from. King Kass lowers her microphone as she silently chuckles to herself. She slowly raises the microphone near her again, continuing to speak.)
King Kass: You know? Booing isn’t going to change anything, so if I were you, I’d shut up. But, I made Theron Nikolas submit in the middle of the ring. I mean, who can forget that wonderful moment that will go down in the history books as I ripped Theron Nikolas, not only of his arm but of his pathetic monikers. Theron submits to me and all of a sudden, he has the respect of EVERYONE and it baffles me because Theron Nikolas proved that he was nothing more of a loser, who could never amount to any success after he turned on DaddyGawd. Theron was the biggest loser out of the entire match because he couldn’t outwrestle me. He couldn’t find a way to get me to stay down and most importantly, he couldn’t find a way to take this Answers World Championship off my shoulder. He failed to live up to every promise that he told himself. He failed all of you at giving you a champion that you don’t need to pray for the downfall of. What should have been a star-studded performance for me, was over shined by Theron Nikolas and the praise that he got on social media, commending him on his efforts and being in disbelief that I could make the ‘God Emperor’ tap out. In the process, it belittles me as a technical and submission specialist because I didn’t spend all of my years in the independent wrestling scene, being constantly ridiculed because I wanted to get out of my then boyfriend’s shadow of being arm candy and wanting to step into the squared circle. I didn’t bust my ass off at training, being made fun of by the other girls because I was nothing more than a damn ‘pretty face’ to them, knowing that if any of those bitches saw me today, they’d shit at the sight of me and what I’d do to them. All of the years, sacrifices, and struggles that I went through to become one of the most flawless technical wrestlers in the world, I do not damn deserve to be told that me submitting Theron Nikolas was ‘shocking’ or something that they didn’t see coming because I fucking knew it was going to happen. Just like I knew that I was going to defeat all of the contenders who stepped up to me. Just like I knew that I would surpass Theron Nikolas’ reign and replace his name with mine in the history books.
King Kass: Despite all of that, I was never given the respect I deserve. Matches like the one I had at Pain for Pride and most recently at Reasonable Doubt, should have had people talking about me. Instead, they could only talk about my opponent. Either they’ve found respect for them or have a ton more for them. From that, all I wondered is: where’s my respect? Where’s the respect that I more than deserve? I don’t know how much more I need to do to have you people understand that it should be me that you’re giving all of those praises too. I am now the longest-reigning Answers World Champion in EAW History and still, it seems like that’s not enough. I carried the Answers World Championship picture since Under Siege. I defeated rising stars, main eventers, Hall of Famers, fan favorites, and everyone in between and that’s not worthy of your respect. That’s not worthy of getting credit where it’s due because all of you people are so bitter that I defeated your favorites. Honestly, I have a feeling that this bitterness towards me was going on before I had this championship on my shoulder, before King of Elite, before my marriage to Ryan, and beyond that. I didn’t understand the animosity towards me, but the more I sat down and reflected on that, I began to figure it out and I realized: it’s because they aren’t me. They aren’t Kassidy Heart. They aren’t King Kass. They all want my spot. They all want the throne that I’ve sat in for the majority of 2021. They want my success and the thought that most of these cunts will never be able to achieve a fraction of the success that I’ve gained, pisses them off so much, they are projecting their own bitterness onto me. That must be why everyone wants to see me fail at Road to Redemption. It’s because they know that as long as I reign, no man or woman will ever touch this title. There is no man in that Extreme Elimination Chamber, who can defeat me. I’d like to see any of them deliver the same amount of pain as I did to Jamie at Pain for Pride or Theron at Reasonable Doubt. I’d like to see any of them push me to my breaking point, but guess what, they won’t? Instead, they’ll talk their shit. They’ll continue to throw their precious little ‘ethers,’ trying to gas themselves up, despite peaking a long time ago like a few men in this match —
(“M3tamorphosis” by Playboi Carti featuring Kid Cudi cuts King Kass as the crowd gives a mixed ovation as nine-time World Champion, Impact, comes out with a microphone in his hand.)
Impact: Congratulations on that amazing milestone, Kassidy. I can talk all of the shit that I want to, but I can give credit where credit is due. You have really held things down as Answers World Champion. You’ve elevated the Answers World Championship to an astronomical level, where some Elitist is going to get a huge rub when you inevitably lose that championship. Obviously, the day is going to arrive for you and it might as well be at Road to Redemption. Over 248 days, you have been the most constant face for the Answers World Championship scene. You’ve defeated a lot of great names. You’ve raised your stock. From my time in this company, I’ve seen plenty of Elitists in your position. I’ve seen them get so comfortable in this position, but with you? I can see the look on your face, there is a hint of worry on your face. You don’t look comfortable. You look like your spot is being threatened and perhaps, that’s the beauty of the Extreme Elimination Chamber, but for a woman who has been able to have the reign that she’s had, you even know that this could be your last stand. Road to Redemption could be the night where everything ends and perhaps, you’ll get credit where it’s due. You’ll get the “great reign, Kassidy” comments or they just won’t give a fuck and they’ll be enamored over the fact that I just got my tenth World Championship reign at the expense of you. The Extreme Elimination Chamber isn’t one of those battlefields where you can cherry-pick who you want to spend your time and energy on because there’s not just me you have to worry about, but four other Elitists who’d love to kick your ass in the back. I’m aware at the fact that you prioritized Theron Nikolas and saw more worth in defeating him than me, but I am going to tell you the same thing that I told you leading up to our match at Reasonable Doubt and that’s don’t sleep on Impact. I’m surprised that Ryan hasn’t given you that advice, but perhaps, maybe, he thinks that you’d be smart enough to figure that out on your own. It seems like you haven’t, so I’m going to help you out. It starts with taking that Answers World Championship away from you and giving you the story of how the king, who built an empire, is going to fall to the peasant.
(Impact finishes talking as he looks down at the Answers World Champion herself, who is trying to match his level of intensity. As this is happening, “Ambitionz Az A Ridah” by Tupac blasts through the speakers, causing the EAW Universe to jump out of their seats in the presence of TLA.)
TLA: Damn, can y’all feel the tension? So sharp you can cut that shit with a knife. Someone hide them knives from Ms. Extreme because we got that ‘Andrea Valentine rule’ in effect. I’m not all about that tension. I’ve always been here to try to bring some of my fun and the #TLArmy loves it? Am I right?
(The crowd completely pops for that. They totally love TLA and TLA loves them back in return before turning his attention towards King Kass and Impact inside the ring.)
TLA: I’m taking that as a yes. If there is something that we can all agree on, it’s that staler than that fruitcake that Abuela Pantera got in her attic. Now, this is the time of year that I’m thankful for. Two years ago, I walked into the Extreme Elimination Chamber as the World Heavyweight Champion. I walked into the match as the biggest vato in the match where no one could touch me or my championship. In my first title defense, I had the deck stacked against me. They were out to get me and trying to prove that I wasn’t meant to be the World Heavyweight Champion. “TLA’s a comedy character!” “He’s nothing more than a joke champion!” “He won’t make it into 2020 as the World Heavyweight Champion!” I did exactly that and I defeated both of you to retain my title in the Extreme Elimination Chamber. I had a glorious reign full of contenders who weren’t ready for the smoke that I brought to them. My hunger is what people are worried about going into this match. They say that I’m not as hungry as everyone else in this match and I think that’s a bunch of mierda because while I don’t have any issues with Kassidy like everyone else, I do agree with the idea that Kassidy Heart with a World Championship is an abomination to this brand and that it needs to be stopped. Bitch has reigned and bored everyone with her unseasoned championship reign long enough and it’s time for us to have a champion with some flavor. I get that I’m one of them vatos that everyone is going to be overlooking in this match, thinking that I don’t have a shot to win, but I don’t look at the odds, I conquer them. Just like I’ve conquered them time after time again. Same shit, different day, but the hard work is always here to stay. I have been on the grind for another opportunity like this, something that Kassidy has never experienced the feeling of doing, knowing that she needs to call her papi and suddenly, she has an opportunity lined up and ready for her to take. That’s not the Answers World Champion that these people deserve. They deserve a champion who is more than willing to jump through hoops for the sake of that championship. They deserve someone who is going to give them the best quality of lucha libre possible and someone who that these people can connect with on a personal level and that’s something that you will never be able to do, Kassidy. They deserve the best champion —
(“Survivor’s Guilt” by Dave cuts TLA off as the crowd boos Charlie Marr, who walks out without Veena Adams.)
Charlie Marr: TLA, for the first time in your miserable life, you are right about something. They deserve the best champion possible. They deserve a champion who is going to elevate the prestige of the Answers World Championship. They deserve Charlie Marr as the Answers World Champion. :ciampa:
Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
Charlie Marr: Lately, I like to think that my career has been on a bit of resurgence. There was a time where I considered myself untouchable. There was a time where I was at my most confident and I couldn’t be stopped. Men and women prayed for my downfall, just like they do with you, Kassidy. I walked into the Extreme Elimination Chamber and I had a target on my back. The Extreme Elimination Chamber where I walked in as the EAW World Champion was one of the most united Chambers that I have ever experienced. The fans believed that it was going to be the night, where everything falls apart for me. They didn’t want me as the champion so bad, they created hashtags like “#AnyoneButCharlie” because that’s how much of a hold I had on the main event scene on Voltage. I reminisce on that time on Voltage and I miss it completely. I believe that the world was such a simpler place to live in with me as World Champion. I think that it’s about time that we get back to that. At Reasonable Doubt, people thought that I would go on a downward spiral thanks to my loss to TLA, but I had two options. I could wallow about the loss or get the back fuck up and show everyone what made Charlie Marr one of the most feared men in the company. Jon Kelton and Jonny Andrews, Airhart — honestly, they all look the same to me — didn’t stand a chance when going up against the ‘Man of Always’ because I always have a plan in motion. I am always ten steps ahead of the competition and it’s what lead to my beautiful dominance of the EAW Championship Chamber in 2019, where I eliminated Elitist after Elitist from the match. A beautiful performance that you could only dream of having Kassidy, but let’s be realistic, you aren’t dominating the Extreme Elimination Chamber. That’s because you aren’t me, Kassidy. You talk about how people hate you because they aren’t you, but who’d the fuck want to be some washed-up whore who wouldn’t be anything without Mr. DEDEDE’s political power? If anything, thank you for validating my claims that women can’t be anything without the assistance of men. If only, Ryan had taught you to keep your mouth shut and stay in your place because it’s not in the same ring as me. You step into the ring with me and I will decimate you like I did everyone in the Voltage Chamber in 2019.
(“You Know My Name” by Chris Cornell plays as King Kass rolls her eyes completely as the ring begins to pile with Elitists. At this point, Kassidy is annoyed, but with the presence of Adam Lucas, that annoyance has intensified.)
Adam Lucas: I was waiting for a more appropriate time to come out and say what I have to say, but I think that I have a couple of eyes on me. To me, it seems like I’m the odd man out of this situation. I don’t have the credentials that the rest of my opponents do. I am the only Elitist in this match to not have won a World Championship. I understand that stepping into the Extreme Elimination Chamber could be something that I was never prepared for, but by looking at all the men surrounding the ring right now, I look like the most likely a prospect who can topple Kassidy. I’ve listened to everyone and it seems like everyone has this idea that their victory at Road to Redemption is inevitable. It’s destined to happen and there’s no need to bother to put the extra preparation in. It’s going to happen no matter what. I listen to what some of you all have to say and I can’t help, but shake my head because as much as I’m more than willing to give you all props and credit where it’s due, I don’t think that either of you is ready to take on the responsibility that comes with dethroning a strong champion as Kassidy has been. Now, it’s clear that I’m not Kassidy’s favorite person to be around because she has this delusional thought that I wronged her in some sort of way. To me, she has shown to be bitter over the fact that I managed to defeat Mr. DEDEDE at Pain for Pride. While I did lose to her at the beginning of the season, my heart isn’t filled with bitter rage like her’s. No, when I experienced that loss, I picked myself up and moved forward. I used all of that as a learning experience to get better and I can assure you that I’ve learned a lot from that loss and I am going to make sure that I don’t make the same mistakes again. Impact thinks that there’s no one else fit to be the champion on Showdown, TLA wants to give the people the champion they deserve, Charlie wants to rehash memories from 2019. Theron will probably try to convince everyone that he is the only one who should dethrone Kassidy, but what do I want? I want to be the Answers World Champion who wears their heart on their sleeves and is able to carry themselves to the utmost standard. I want to be a champion who is honest to the fans because they deserve someone who is going to be real with them. Someone who doesn’t hide by facades. Someone who doesn’t sugarcoat their words or try to convince everyone that there’s nothing wrong with them —
(“Stigmata” by grandson cuts Adam Lucas off as the crowd blows the roof off the damn Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse as Theron Nikolas, the final man in the Extreme Elimination Chamber comes out with an emotionless expression on their face. He has no microphone in his possession, but the tone out of King Kass and Adam Lucas, who stand in the ring, and Impact, TLA, and Charlie, who stand behind each horizontal set of ropes on the apron look towards the former Answers World Champion. King Kass’ attention is focused on Theron who has his eyes set on her as —)
Gavin Kirkland: MY GOD EMPEROR BOLTS TOWARDS KING KASS AT THE RING! ADAM LUCAS GETS THE FUCK OUT OF THE WAY AS THERON NIKOLAS SLIDES UNDERNEATH THE BOTTOM ROPE AND SPEARS KASSIDY HEART INSIDE THE RING!
Eve: BUT, KING KASS IS FIGHTING BACK AS SHE MANAGES TO THROW HER OWN SET OF PUNCHES! THINGS ARE QUITE PERSONAL BETWEEN THESE TWO ELITISTS AS NOT ONE OF THEM IS HOLDING BACK FROM THE HARSH PUNCHES! BOTH OF THEM ARE TRYING TO GET ONE OVER THE OTHER!
Deadprez: CHARLIE MARR ENTERS THE RING AND GETS KING KASS BY HER HAIR AND THROWS HER TO THE SIDE AS HE PROCEEDS TO GET THERON NIKOLAS UP FOR ‘THE QUEEN IS DEAD,’ BUT THERON IS ABLE TO CONNECT WITH A BACK BODY DROP ON CHARLIE! MEANWHILE, THERON TURNS HIS ATTENTION TOWARDS KING KASS, NEVER LOSING SIGHT OF HER, BUT KASS DROPS HIM WITH A SPEAR IN TRIBUTE TO HER HUSBAND AND CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD, MR. DEDEDE!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: KING KASS TURNS AROUND AS IMPACT CONNECTS WITH AN ‘EVISCERATION’ ON HER, WHICH CAUSES HER TO FALL TO HER BACK! Meanwhile, Impact turns around as he’s face-to-face with TLA! This was the World Heavyweight Championship match at House of Glass in 2019. These two had a personal rivalry back on the Dynasty brand as TLA won his first World Championship off of Impact! The two of them begin to unload on punches on each other! The crowd is on their damn feet as Impact proceeds to knee TLA in the ribs before whipping him into a ‘Charting Crosses’ by Charlie Marr! That discus clothesline from the former EAW Champion! Speaking of another rivalry that consisted of TLA as these two had feuded for months! Impact and Charlie Marr, some of the potential alliances that the Extreme Elimination Chamber could bring —
Eve: But, Charlie Marr with a kick between the legs of the nine-time World Champion! He gets Impact in position for ‘The Queen is Dead,’ that double underhook DDT, but look at Adam Lucas, who springboards off the apron and nails a springboard flying forearm to the face of the ‘Man of Always!’ THIS TAKES CHARLIE DOWN AS GETS IMPACT UP PARTIALLY BEFORE PUSHING HIM AGAINST THE HORIZONTAL SET OF ROPES BEFORE CONNECTING WITH ‘LEVEL UP’ THE POP-UP POWERBOMB TAKES THE MULTI-TIME WORLD CHAMPION DOWN AS ADAM TURNS AROUND —
Deadprez: KING KASS WITH THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP! SHE SLAMS THE COLD TITLE PLATE ON THE SKULL OF ADAM LUCAS!!!!! SHE DROPS THE FORMER HARDCORE CHAMPION! KING KASS SEES THAT TLA IS STARTING TO GET TO HIS FEET AS KASS SWINGS THE TITLE AT HIM, BUT TLA DUCKS THE TITLE AND HITS HER WITH THE ‘SWAG SHOT’ INTO POSITION FOR ‘GOD REQUIEM’ BY THERON NIKOLAS, BUT KING KASS SLIDES OUT OF THE MOVE, BUT THERON KNOCKS HER BACK WITH A SUPERKICK! KING KASS ROLLS HERSELF OUT OF THE RING AS THERON GOES TO FOLLOW HER, BUT HE GETS TURNED AROUND BY CHARLIE MARR!!! ‘Headmaster’s Ritual’ — the spinebuster takes down the former Answers World Champion!
Gavin Kirkland: Meanwhile, you have Impact and TLA who are battling things out at the corner! The crowd is completely on their feet, trying to keep track of all of the competition! IMPACT TRIES TO SHOVE TLA AWAY FROM HIM, BUT TLA TAKES HIM BACK WITH A ‘VERY MEXICAN UPPERCUT’ AS THAT TAKES IMPACT BACK TO THE CORNER! TLA GETS IMPACT BY HIS ARM AND WHIPS HIM TO THE OPPOSITE TURNBUCKLE, BUT MID-WAY, IMPACT COUNTERS THAT WHIP AS TLA GETS SENT TO THAT TURNBUCKLE! IMPACT CHARGES TOWARDS TLA AT THE CORNER, BUT RUNS SHOULDER-FIRST AGAINST THE RING POST
(King Kass is watching the fuckery inside the ring as she’s clutching to her Answers World Championship, but she fails to realize that Adam Lucas is slowly regaining conscious behind her.)
Eve: ADAM LUCAS TURNS KING KASS AROUND AS HE THROWS A PUNCH TOWARDS HER! BUT, KING KASS IS FIGHTING BACK, NOT ALLOWING ADAM TO GET ONE OVER ON HER! THE TWO ELITISTS ARE TRADING PUNCHES TOWARDS ONE ANOTHER, BUT IT SEEMS LIKE ADAM IS ABLE TO STAGGER THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION BACK TOWARDS THE BARRICADE!
(A bunch of security begins to race down the ramp and head towards the ring and at ringside to stop the fighting from escalating. Inside the ring, Theron Nikolas, Charlie Marr, Impact and TLA are behind held back by security as all of these men are trading words with each other from afar. At ringside, security is almost creating a barrier with King Kass as officials are trying to consult with Adam Lucas to back away. The crowd gets rowdy when they spot Hurricane Hawk coming out from the back.)
Hurricane Hawk: I am not going to tolerate this for the last Showdown of 2021, let alone a week before Road to Redemption. I gotta project my main event —
Deadprez: TLA launches himself through the middle rope and connects with a suicide dive, knocking over King Kass and Adam Lucas! The crowd is completely on their feet for that spot as the security is now having to pull TLA away from Kassidy Heart! With that distraction, Theron Nikolas begins to tear himself apart from the security holding him back and go towards King Kass, but security is able to get ahold of him before he causes anymore trouble!
Hurricane Hawk: I didn’t want to do this, but I’m throwing ALL of you out!
(The Extreme Elimination Chamber competitors are completely flipping out, but King Kass, shouting at Hurricane Hawk, claiming that he’s being unreasonable. King Kass is peeved at this point, but she’s remaining still.)
Hurricane Hawk: You’re all banned from the arena! Save all of your anger and energy for Road to Redemption! Now, get them all out!
(The crowd completely boos at the decision from the General Manager as everyone is being escorted out of the ring, one-by-one by security and officials.)
Gavin Kirkland: This was an interesting win to begin this last Showdown of 2021. Hurricane Hawk just threw out Showdown’s main event for Road to Redemption — even King Kass! Maybe, there is some positivity to come in this!
Eve: We heard from everyone. I mean, almost everyone, but it seemed like Theron Nikolas wasn’t in the mood for words tonight.
Deadprez: Stay tuned, we got more Showdown, coming your way!
(The camera fades to a commercial of the new Road To Redemption Preview video)
( “A Cruel Angel’s Thesis” by Yoko Takahasi echoes throughout the speakers as the Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse becomes unblued. With Ayu Megumi by her side, Usagi Senshi makes her appearance known on the stage. The Ice Aces pose on the stage before making their way down the ring.)
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST! ACCOMPANIED TO THE RING BY AYU MEGUMI, FROM FUKUOKA, JAPAN, WEIGHING IN AT 140 POUNDS… SHE IS THE CRYPTIC ACE… USAGI SENSHI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Deadprez: Usagi Senshi has already made her intentions known and that is for the Ice Aces to be the best tag team that this company has ever seen. We have all seen what Ayu Megumi has been capable of, and that is what Usagi Senshi needs to do. Senshi has a huge opportunity tonight to showcase her talents and show the world that the Ice Aces will not be a one woman ship, but a unified effort.
( As Ayu Megumi gives Usagi Senshi a pep talk in their designated corner in the ring, “DESTINY” by Saori Yoshi begins to play. The crowd’s reception is positive yet again as ARIA emerges from the guerilla position and walks onto the entranceway. She waves to the crowd as she keeps a confident smile while approaching The Ice Aces.)
Gina Romano: AND HER OPPONENT!! From Chandler, Arizona, weighing in at 127 pounds.
Deadprez: ARIA is also another freshly green competitor that requires more opportunity sto showcase what they can bring to their table. Bringing the Ice Aces’ momentum before Road To Redemption to a screeching halt will most definitely put her name on the headlines, and maybe even have her in consideration for greater opportunities. We will have to see.
(DING! DING! DING!)
Deadprez: One of the two matches of the evening is underway as Usagi Senshi and ARIA shakes hands before they break off toward opposite ends of the squared circle. They take a stroll around the ring before they extend their hands upwards to initiate a test of strength. They hold each other by the hands and start to use their technique to apply the torque and gain the advantage over the other. Senshi twists around and brings the arm over to his back. This weakens ARIA as Senshi begins to apply pressure to the wrist, before she gets out of the predicament by turning around, rotating and bringing her down with that headlock. Senshi tries to go through the basic escape route by holding her legs up for the leg scissors, but ARIA is smart enough to put her head in a position that keeps it out of her leg’s reach. ARIA has the headlock in before Senshi musters the strength to push her up to her feet and into the ropes! Aria lets go of the headlock and goes into the ropes! SENSHI LOOKS UP! AND ARIA CLOCKS HER IN THE JAW WITH A HUGE SHOOT KICK!! IT SENDS SENSHI DOWN TO ONE KNEE!! SENSHI HAS A SMILE ON HER FACE AS THIS SEEMS TO BE THE COMPETITIVE FEELING SHE JOINED THIS INDUSTRY FOR!! ARIA TELLS HER TO BRING EVERYTHING SHE GOT AS SENSHI GOES INTO THE ROPES AND REBOUNDS OFF!!
Eve: AND SENSHI RESPONDS WITH A SHOOT KICK OF HER OWN!! THE SHEER POWER OF THAT KICK SENDS ARIA OFF THE ROPES!!! AND ARIA RESPONDS WITH ANOTHER SHOOT KICK!! BUT SENSHI BRUSHES PAST THE FOOT, GOES AROUND THE WAIST AND ATTEMPTS A SNAP DRAGON SUPLEX!! SENSHI BLOCKS IT, GOES AROUND THE WAIST AND PUSHES HER TOWARDS THE ROPES!! ARIA REBOUNDS OFF THE ROPES WHILE ARIA RUNS PAST HER AND COMES OFF THE ROPES!! SENSHI RECEIVES HER AS ARIA TRAVELS AROUND HER BODY!!! AND SENDS HER FLYING INTO THE AIR WITH A TILT-A-WHIRL HEADSCISSORS…. BUT SENSHI SPRINGS OFF HER HEAD AND SAFELY EVADES THE IMPACT!
Gavin Kirkland: THIS REMINDS ME OF THE LATEST INSTALMENT OF THE HENTAI WARFARE NOVELS!! So competitive! I am all bricked up over here while Aria and Usagi Senshi briefly stare into each other. Aria is nodding as a sign of being impressed by that athleticism before she runs into the ropes! USAGI DOES THE SAME AND ATTEMPTS TO FLANK ARIA!! ARIA KICKS HER IN THE MIDSECTION, GRABS HER HEAD, RUNS WITH IT AND STEPS UP THE ROPES!! FOR A TORNADO DDT!! NO!! USAGI THROWS HER AWAY!! ARIA SAFELY LANDS ON HER FEET AS USAGI RUNS PAST HER!! SHE JUMPS UP!! AND SHE SNATCHES HER HEAD WITH THE FRONT HEADSCISSORS!! ARIA GOES DOWN WITH A HURRICANRANA, BUT SHE ADAPTS IN MID-AIR AND CARTWHEELS SAFELY ONTO HER FEET!!
Deadprez: USAGI BRIEFLY SHOWS RESPECT TO HER ATHLETICISM, BEFORE SHE
SWINGS FOR A ROUNDHOUSE KICK!! ARIA DUCKS IT AND PUSHES HER INTO THE ROPES!! Aria circles the waist and attempts the German suplex! Usagi grabs her foot and takes her down! SHE TURNS AROUND AND ARIA KIPS-UP OFF THE GROUND AND FLOORS USAGI WITH A KIP-UP HURRICANRANA!! USAGI REELS INTO THE CORNER TURNBUCKLES AS ARIA QUICKLY CHARGES INTO HER!! USAGI HOISTS HER UP INTO THE AIR AND USAGI ENDS UP ON THE APRON!! ARIA GOES FOR A SHOULDER THRUST THROUGH THE ROPES, BUT USAGI SIMPLY MOVES OUT OF THE WAY AND SMASHES HER IN THE HEAD WITH A BICYCLE KICK!! Aria brings her head out of the ring as Usagi tries to bring her back in. She grabs her by the head and pulls her in-
Eve: ARIA WITH AN OVERHEAD KICK FROM OUT OF THE BLUE!! Usagi gets stunned by the kick and falters a step back! ARIA NOW REGAINS HER CONSCIOUSNESS AND SPRINGBOARDS ONTO THE TOP ROPE!! USAGI WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO THE LEGS!! NO!! ARIA FAKED IT AS USAGI SWINGED AND MISS!! USAGI TURNS AROUND IN CONFUSION AND GETS DROPPED WITH A SLINGSHOT ZIRCON CUTTER!!

Gavin Kirkland: Usagi pulls herself up to her feet with the ropes while Aria is in a prone position in the center of the ring! USAGI HAS HER IN HER SIGHTS!! AND SHE SPRINTS TOWARDS ARIA!! USAGI LOOKS TO GIVE HER FATALITY!! BUT SHE MISSES THE RUNNING BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE!! ARIA WITH A FLUSH SUPERKICK!! USAGI IS STUNNED AS ARIA NOW HOISTS HER UP!! FOR THE GLITCH IN THE MATRIX!!

(DING! DING! DING!)
(“A Cruel Angel’s Thesis” by Yoko Takahasi blasts through the speakers to a huge pop. as Usagi Senshi gets off ARIA. Ayu Megumi immediately accompanies Senshi as the Ice Aces celebrate in the center of the ring.)
Gina Romano: HERE IS YOUR WINNER… USAAAAGIIII SENSHIIIIIIII!!
Deadprez: Usagi Senshi and Aria compete in an absolutely stellar match! We all thought that Aria was going to secure this huge victory numerous times throughout the match, but Senshi surprised the EAW Universe with one of the first of many victories over her! This is a great look for Ice Aces as we head into Road To Redemption!
Eve: ARIA did great tonight, but it all ends up to who is more resilient and smarter at the end of the day! ARIA was able to perform greatly, but Usagi Senshi was smarter and was able to use the slightest opening to take care of ARIA. Congratulations to Usagi Senshi!
( ARIA shakes hands with Usagi Senshi before she slides out of the ring and heads to the back. Senshi continues to celebrate with Ayu before it goes to commercial break.)
(As the Commercial returns, “Downfall” by TRUSTcompany hits over the speakers, the arena giving a mixed reaction.)
Deadprez: And it looks like Pandora Paisley is on her way to join us
Gavin Kirkland: Finally, a hottie for me to look at! I love her and she loves me!
Eve: Ever the Gentlemen huh Gavin?
Gavin Kirkland: Oh, come on, look at her. You probably want some too.
(Pandora reaches the ring, and climbs up onto the apron, flipping over the ropes back first and then standing dead center, enjoying the ovation. She then makes it to the ropes and takes a mic, holding it under her mouth with a huge smirk on her face. She then blows a kiss in Gavin’s direction.)
Gavin Kirkland: See, at least Pandora appreciates me!
Eve: Possibly the only one.
(Pandora waits for the noise to die down a little before beginning to speak)
Pandora Paisley: I know, I know, every single one of you right now, especially you boys are salivating at my mere presence right? The ultimate thirst trap. The guys are turning to their partners and thinking why you can’t be like Pandora, and girls, there is no need to be ashamed by that, just look at me.
(Boos ring out in the arena, mostly from the women, Pandora scowling, apparently confused by the reaction.)
Pandora Paisley: I mean, let’s face it. I am the total package, which as it happens is the reason why the Hellcat is out here. See, yeah, you all know that I look fantastic. You don’t get to be the Baroness, looking like a munter. But I’m not out here to confirm the obvious. I’m out here to make a DEMAND. That demand being, Hurricane Hawk… stop being a tosser and put me in the Cleveland Street fight… RIGHT NOW!!!
Deadprez: Wow that would be huge. Pandora has been quite a presence in her short time here on Showdown.
Pandora Paisley: I’m not asking… I’m tell…
Voice: NO, NO, NO, NO!!!
(The arena erupts as Hurricane Hawk appears on the stage and starts making his way down to the ring furiously. Without hesitation he walks up the steps and into the ring, getting up close to Pandora and lifting the mic…)
Hurricane Hawk: NO!!!
Pandora Paisley: Soooo, that’s a no then?
Hurricane Hawk: I’m glad that you understand me.
Pandora Paisley: Oh, I hear what you are saying, but doesn’t mean to say I understand it. Let’s face it with the wankers you’ve already got in the match, it certainly is lacking in a certain ‘STAR’ quality. So, I guess what I’m saying is… you must be a total dipshit to not realize that you need me.
(Hawk sighs, shaking his head.)
Hurricane Hawk: Let me say this one more time, for the obviously hard of hearing. You will get your chance in Australia, but until then, you are not to get involved and are barred from ringside.
Pandora Paisley: That’s bull…
(Hawk interrupts her…)
Hurricane Hawk: Not finished Pandora.
(This brings an Ooooo from the crowd, which further infuriates Pandora.)
Hurricane Hawk: Furthermore, if you even TRY to get involved, then I will pull you from the Unique Opportunity TLC match. It’s that simple. WE WRESTLE, with no games. Now Pandora, do you FINALLY understand my stance?
(Pandora is about to get in Hawk’s face, obviously maddened by his reaction. Before she can however, ‘Mo Money’ hits, and Ronan Malosi appears on the ramp with his henchmen Weston Scott and Ashton Hale, the duo known as the ‘Dogs of War’. Without a moment’s hesitation they walk down to the ring, Hawk sighing deeply.)
Gavin Kirkland: I guess the ring is filling up, and Hawk doesn’t look best pleased, and that is what he gets for treating Pandora this way!
Deadprez: He thought he only had Pandora to deal with, but Ronan has been a pain in his ass for a while now.
(Ronan reaches the ring and slides under the bottom rope, Weston and Ashton joining him as Ronan lifts his mic.)
Ronan Malosi: Hey, if we are throwing demands around, it isn’t a party without Ronan Malosi.
(Boos ring out over the arena, Ronan dismissing them with a wave of his hand.)
Ronan Malosi: Whatever sheeple…
(He reaches into his pocket, and pulls out a wad of notes, holding them in front of Pandora.)
Ronan Malosi: I like you Pandora, you’ve got a certain something so take this money and go buy yourself something nice… and flattering for our night out after I win the 24/7 Contract.
(Pandora says something away from mic that seems like she is saying everything flatters her flawless figure. She smiles and takes the money.)
Ronan Malosi: Enjoy… and don’t worry, you’ll win that Unique Opportunity in Australia by letting those two sweaty, beefy bastards beat the shit out of each other, leaving you to pick up the pieces.
(Pandora smirks and runs her hand along Malosi’s chest, before turning and sliding under the ropes and out the ring. She then walks to the back, wafting her face with the bills in her hand, before disappearing through the curtain still smiling. Hawk, watching it all, is then focused on by Ronan, who turns to face him.)
Ronan Malosi: Now I have taken care of that business for you, let’s you and I talk brass tacks
Hurricane Hawk: We have nothing to say to each other.
Ronan Malosi: Oh, but I think we do.
Hurricane Hawk: I am surprised.. shocked in awe.
Ronan: You shouldn’t be. Just because Alimony is an idiot and advised me to drop the lawsuit, that doesn’t change the fact that absolutely, categorically I should be in that Chamber. And it’s only YOUR pig-headedness that is keeping me out of it. However, when I win the 24/7 contract… and I assure you that I will, I will be wanting to face the Answers World Champion, whoever that may be, in Australia. And just like my dear Pandora said, that is not a request, it is a demand.
(Ronan looks at Hawk, expecting anger, and scowls when all he can see is amusement.)
Ronan Malosi: Something funny?
Hurricane Hawk: No, not really… you just got me thinking. See, whilst you were ONCE AGAIN trying to bully your way into power like you did last season with your jackass in crime, Ryan Wilson, you caught the eye of a certain someone.
(Ronan looks confused)
Hurricane Hawk: Let’s just say that they took exception to you.
Ronan Malosi: So… who doesn’t? What’s that got to do with my demands?
Hurricane Hawk: It has everything to do with them, because THEY will be your opponent in Australia.
Ronan Malosi: What? Who in a blue moon is stupid enough to challenge Ronan Malosi???
(There is a momentary silence, before Hawk turns to the ramp way. ‘Smells like Teen Spirit’ hits over the speakers, Ronan’s eyes widening.)
Eve: NO! IT CAN’T BE!
(The arena goes bananas as Cage sprints from the back.)
Deadprez: IT IS, OH MY GOD IT IS, CAGE IS HERE!!!
(Cage runs down the ramp as Ronan and the Dogs of War scatter for safety. Cage starts picking up chairs and throwing them at the fleeing band, until they are out of range, and in amongst the crowd.)
Deadprez: RONAN GETTING OUTTA DODGE AND I DON’T BLAME HIM! Cage is back, and it see
Gavin Kirkland: Business has just picked up. And Ronan is NOT happy!
(With Ronan and his boys out the way, Cage picks up a mic, and stares directly at them)
Cage: I’m baaaaaaack!!!!!
(The arena once again pops, Ronan kicking out at any object he can find.)
Cage: And I’ll see you in Australia… BITCH! .
(Another huge pop, as Ronan continues to back away, screaming obscenities at a smiling huge.)
Deadprez: Hawk pleased with himself, and I can see why. Cage is back ready to put Ronan in his place!
(Cage shakes turns and nods to Hawk, then back to Ronan telling him to get back in the ring but Ronan and his boys want nothing to do with it, as the scene fades to a commercial for the Dogs of War, are they Sons that will be Forgotten!?)
(Returning from commercials… the camera shifts to the studio where Mikaela Street sits with Harper Lee, excited to get Harper this time one on one for this exclusive interview.)
Mikaela Street: Thank you so much for taking the time to join me, I have a few questions about your big match with Miku Sakai and the chance to become a Specialists Champion, a title that is considered very honorable thanks to Brody Sparks.
Harper Lee: It really is and it needs to be elevated because of recent champions, but that is why I am here and you are welcome, the pleasure was all yours.
Mikaela Street: Okay, fair enough, here is the first question, what is your mindset heading into Road To Redemption?
(Rolling her eyes, Harper answers…)
Harper Lee: Really Mikaela? My mindset? Isn’t this like your job? You had all this time to prepare, and this is what you have to ask me? Anyways, as far as I’m concerned, Miku Sakai could just hand me the Specialists Championship, because the result of our match is already set in stone. I’m superior to Miku in literally every single way, and I’ve been proving that for months. People love to doubt me and hate on me and they all have their boring, lame reasons for that, but at the end of the day I shut people up. That’s always been what I did, and at Road to Redemption I’m probably gonna be doing the entire world a favor by shutting Miku Sakai up and ending her underwhelming Championship reign. People have tried to shut her up in the past, but they weren’t me. I don’t have the same flaws as the likes of Rebecca Blackwell and Mary S. Atlas, so Miku Sakai can run her mouth and pretend I’m no big deal, but at the end of the day I’m the biggest threat she’s going to have faced in her entire title reign, and she’s not going to make it past me.
(Mikaela nods and goes right to the next question….)
Mikaela Street: Well, to be honest Harper, we have seen what Miku Sakai can do, and many have taken her lightly but has shown to be very resilient, what is going to make Harper Lee the new Specialists Champion?
(A slight sigh escapes her lips….)
Harper Lee: If you or anyone else actually thinks that Miku Sakai is the resilient one here, then I think you guys need to watch more Harper Lee matches. Like, resilient is basically my middle name. You can try and find someone on the roster that competes as often as me, wins as often as me, and wins as DOMINANTLY as me, but you’ll probably have a pretty tough time. Miku Sakai isn’t even in that conversation by the way, because the few times she actually has competed this season she’s just reinforced the fact that she’s a joke and the only reason she ever got any recognition in the first place is because people happened to simp over her and her broken partner so they made that their only personality trait. Miku Sakai isn’t anything special as a competitor, but me? I’ve been having some of the best matches of the year. I’ve been having the best performances of the year. King of Elite, Shock Value, Reckless Wiring, Clash of Kingdoms, Pain for Pride, I can keep going. The list doesn’t stop. I’m one of the greatest and most consistent Elitists on the roster, and Miku isn’t good enough for talent like that. She never was, and she never will be.
Mikaela Street: She is considered for Rookie of the Year, has defeated some top talent and hed to Championships.
Harper Lee: So what?
Mikaela Street: Look, I’m not trying to toot her horn, just stating a fact and she did take the title from Showdown.
Harper Lee: Because the former Champion was an idiot.
Mikaela Street: Okay… on to the next question. The word respect, obviously it is important to everyone but especially you, Harper. Do you think this title will bring you respect?
(Harper smirks, almost very unimpressed with the line of questioning.)
Harper Lee: Yeah, why wouldn’t it? When I lost to Adam Lucas, people started writing me off because of it and started pretending that I’m not even half the competitor I say I am, even if he’s just one of only three people to actually pin me this season. People overlook me because I don’t have a title around my waist, and when I defeat Miku Sakai, I’m not just gonna be the Specialists Champion. I’m going to be Captain Harper, the GREATEST Specialists Champion of all time. I’m going to be part of history and when I go down in the history books, I’ll be celebrated for generations to come. I’ve only held a Championship once in my career and back then I had Sierra weighing me down, but after Road to Redemption things will be different. This time I’ll be on my own, this time I’ll be at the top of my game, and this time there won’t be any denying that I am the best thing going today. Not by any of the idiots that face me looking to make a name for themselves, and definitely not by you,
Mikaela Street: I never questioned your ability Harper, but fine…. And how far are you willing to go in order to get it (Respect) at Road to Redemption?
Harper Lee: Hmm… I don’t know, why don’t you ask Sierra? Or… How about Adam Lucas? Maybe you can go find Ashley Flores and ask her what’s up. Or better yet, you can go back to the people in that No Way Out match a few months ago, Miku included since I actually stomped her head in during the closing moments of the match. Still not getting it yet? I already leave a path of destruction pretty much everywhere I go. I always leave my opponents battered, bruised and broken. I’m used to “going far” in order to get what I want, now ask yourself this. If I was okay with letting Sierra get hit by a truck at the start of our match at Pain for Pride, what do YOU think I’ll do to Miku Sakai when this is my last opportunity to end 2021 with a Championship around my waist? How far do you think I’ll go when this is my last chance to keep the promise I made. I said that I’d end this year with a title around my waist, and this season I’ve been climbing the ranks and doing everything I can to prove that I’m ready, and now this is it. This is the moment I’ve been waiting for, and I’m not losing.
Mikaela Street: There is a lot of confidence there, that is important. My last question, If you could say one thing to Miku Sakai and any of your doubters, what would you say?
(Harper adjusts herself in the seat, slowly turning to the camera…)
Harper Lee: My doubters? Screw ‘em. They want me to fail. They hope that I leave Road to Redemption empty handed and that Miku Sakai of all people is able to leave with that title, and that’s just not gonna happen. I’m very simply not gonna let myself go down like that, so they can say whatever the hell they want, but just know I’ll be the one getting the last laugh. As for Miku? I just want her to listen. I want her to seriously listen to everything I’m saying right now, because I’m legitimately giving her the opportunity to understand what she’s really gonna be dealing with, but knowing who Miku is, I expect her to walk into Road to Redemption the same way she walks into every other match. I expect her to make a fool out of herself and try to take me down with her, but I’m not as easily gotten to as some of her previous opponents. I’m not going to just fall for her games when I’ve already dealt with her multiple times in the past, so she can try to repeat history. I’m still gonna take her title, and I’m going to enjoy every part of it.
(Harper cracks a smirk as the camera fades to Showdown General Manager, Hurricane Hawk backstage who was watching the interview on his monitor while on the phone. He’s in the middle of a conversation. It’s unclear about who he’s talking too, but when the camera gets a good look at who Hawk is FaceTiming, it’s revealed to be Dynasty General Manager, StarrStan and Voltage Commissioner, Captain Charisma. The two men are nodding and laughing.)
Captain Charisma: This was one of the more intense four weeks that I’ve experienced. Just being at home, watching to see what New Eden will do next had me like:
StarrStan: Yeah, no kidding, the thought that you would ever let those three have a sprinkle of power on Voltage is insane, Cap. At least last season with me, I was dealing with Veena and somehow, Viz and LC were able to prevent her from getting a fraction of power. I think that you were optimistic about the same thing happening to you. But sadly, it didn’t go well.
Captain Charisma: If there was some positivity to come at it, it did highlight the division in New Eden. While, they won’t admit that, but it’s totally going to be something that I am going to try to highlight tomorrow on Voltage.
Hurricane Hawk: You have no idea how happy that you’re in charge again —
???: —Give me another opportunity, Hawk!
(Hurricane Hawk turns himself around as Jonny Airhart storms into his office. The crowd is heard booing in the background as Hawk doesn’t seem to be in the mood to have another Elitist complain about their opportunities and whatnot. He takes his eyes of Jonny before looking at his FaceTime with StarrStan and Captain Charisma. Hawk gives them that look of “I got another complaining Elitist to deal with,” and obviously, the authority figures know a thing or two about that facial expression., having dealt with it once or twice in their respective brands.)
Hurricane Hawk: I will talk to you two later to discuss some future stuff for 2022?
(Both StarrStan and Captain Charisma nod in agreement. The three men all say goodbye to each other before Hawk ends FaceTime. He sighs before turning his attention towards Jonny Airhart, who’s looking at him, waiting for the General Manager to start talking.)
Hurricane Hawk: Well, considering the person I traded you for is main eventing and defeating World Champions on a weekly basis, I can see how I got the short end of the stick and should have kept her instead.
(For some sort of reason, the crowd pops at the realization that Hurricane Hawk may have not made the smartest decision. It’s clear that slowly, but surely enough, the crowd has been rubbed the wrong way by the man he traded Dr. Bethany Blue for. Jonny Airhart is trying really hard to keep his composure as Hawk continues.)
Hurricane Hawk: I understand why a few people had questions over the trade and whether I was getting the short end of the stick. Dr. Bethany Blue could be on her way to becoming a future World Champion herself. She had a great reign as Specialists Champion and was a hell of an Interwire Champion. This woman has the potential of being something great and I’m glad that Dynasty is providing her a platform to do that —
Jonny Airhart: I don’t care what the bitch is doing on Dynasty, you traded for me, Hawk!. You saw the potential and star power when you looked at me. You saw what I could potentially do on Showdown and you knew that you wanted that on your brand.
Hurricane Hawk: I did and you’re absolutely right. Bethany is doing amazing things on Dynasty and will continue to do amazing things. You, on the other hand, I saw someone who had the potential to grow and flourish on Showdown. You could have a bright future, but I just don’t think that you are doing enough with the opportunities that I’m giving you, Jonny and that’s something that makes me contemplate whether this trade was solid. Do I still see that potential in you? I don’t know, I doubt you, Jonny. I doubt your want to succeed. I doubt your want to hold championship gold. Maybe, you aren’t doing enough to reach for that brass ring and rip it down.
Jonny Airhart: You doubt me?
(Jonny Airhart takes a swipe at the vase with his hand before it shatters at the wall behind him. He gets the papers, which were organized nicely at Hurricane Hawk’s desk, crumbles them up, and throws them across the room. He gets Hawk’s coffee mug and throws it against the wall. Then, he gets Hawk’s phone —)
Hurricane Hawk: Okay, I think that we’re getting a little out of hand where.
Jonny Airhart: You don’t think that I’m doing enough? It’s difficult when you arrived at the Showdown scene and have everyone wanting to tear you down after you have tried to build yourself up into being more than just talking inside the ring. Last week, was one of the most crushing losses of my career. Not going to lie, but the loss stung me, but then I realized, that losing that match is going to make me into a better wrestler. Still, I am going to remain with my head up high. I still see the stars in my eyes, but there will be a day where I’ll see championship gold on my waist —
Hurricane Hawk: Okay! Enough! You can stop talking. I’ve lost all my brain cells trying to converse with Ronan Malosi and you’re not helping the cause either, but do you want a chance?
(Jonny Airhart nods as Hurricane Hawk continues, almost like “bring it out. Give me the chance.”.)
Hurricane Hawk: Well, I am going to give you a chance. On the first Showdown of 2022, you will be in the first round of the King of Elite tournament.
(The crowd pops at the announcement of the King of Elite Tournament, the highly prestigious tournament, which has a great percentage rate when it comes to the Elitists cashing in their opportunities to become World Champion. The most recent one is King Kass who managed to become Answers World Champion. Jonny Airhart’s eyes light up at the opportunity as a smirk form at the corner of his lips.)
Hurricane Hawk: That’s the chance that you were looking for, Jonny? I hope so and in return, prove to me that I didn’t make the dumbest trade in the modern history of EAW!
(Jonny Airhart nods and that’s enough indication that he doesn’t plan to let this opportunity slip from his grasp. He exits the scene, feeling a bit more motivated than before. The possibility of winning King of Elite could propel his career to new heights and getting a spot in this tournament is something that Hurricane Hawk could have not given to him, but he did and Jonny needs to make the most out of this opportunity. Hawk is left by himself, looking straight ahead in the direction that Jonny left in. The scene pans elsewhere.)
(Fading away from the backstage area, Showdown briefly flashes up shots of the audience, before returning to Gina Romano, who is shown standing in the center of the ring, holding an EAW-branded microphone.)
Gina Romano: The following contest is a CLEVELAND STREET FIGHT MATCH!! And it is scheduled… FOR ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
(‘Ser Real’ by Oscar Cortez ft. T3R Elemento hits the speakers, as the crowd instantly boos. The lights start to flash red, and before long, Roberto De La Rosa walks through the curtains. Dressed in black jeans, and a black “De La Rosa” wife beaters T-Shirt, he starts to slowly walk down the ramp, with his entire mind focused on one thing; carnage.)
Gina Romano: Introducing first… hailing from Hidalgo, Mexico… weighing in at 245 pounds… ROBERTOOOOO DEEE LAAAA ROSAAAAAAAA!!!
Eve: Entering first, well, is a man who should be considered as scary. For a very long time he has promised that he is a very dangerous person, and right now, it’s no longer a promise, it’s fucking reality. He has an opportunity to put not only his own, but his opponent’s life on the line, for a victory. For a payday. And that is a scary thought. He has promised to send his opponent home in a coffin. He has promised he will do anything in his power to make sure that he feels it FOREVER, and I believe him. I believe he will aim for that, because that is what he’s all about.)
(Roberto De La Rosa walks up the steel steps, before entering the ring, as he poses in the very center of it. A light breeze of smoke appears underneath his feet, before he kicks said feet, and the smoke begins to waft out of the ring, eventually disappearing entirely, alongside his theme song. ‘Madness’ by KSI suddenly replaces it, as the crowd once again begins to boo. Walking out, dressed in an all-black, multi-material version of his regular attire, alongside a blood red T-Shirt with a black “Atami” logo on the front, Abel Atami walks out with a fierce swagger, staring at his opponent with eyes that tell a long story of hatred.)
Gina Romano: And his opponent… hailing from Upolu, Samoa… weighing in at 247 pounds… ABEEEEEEEL ATAAAAMIIIIIIIII!!!
Eve: These two men are evenly matched. Height, weight, skill, and brutality – Abel Atami returned the favor. Roberto promised an early grave for Abel, and Abel shot back saying there WILL be an early grave, yet, it wouldn’t be his. He is dead set on making sure Roberto feels that same fate, and quite frankly, I’m just as convinced There’s no way anybody just SAYS that, for the same of saying it, and I know that Abel Atami of all people is not someone who will lie about it. If he is convinced that he will put his opponent in the ground, I am sure he will damn well try. After all, this has been boiling for a very long time. Over a month. It would be a surprise if he DIDN’T try that-
(As Abel Atami walks into the ring, he and Roberto IMMEDIATELY get into each other’s faces. The referee tries their best to separate the two, however, it doesn’t work. Abel’s theme cuts out, as he pushes Roberto. Roberto pushes back, but eventually the referee gets in between them. He points at them to go to their corners… however…)
Eve: OH GOD! THEY CHARGE AT ONE ANOTHER! ABEL AND ROBERTO START TO SWING PUNCHES!!! THIS HAS YET TO EVEN BEGIN!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Eve: BUT THEY DIDN’T EVEN WAIT FOR THE BELL! THEY CHARGE AT EACH OTHER INSTANTANEOUSLY, BEFORE LAYING IN HANDS! TRADING PUNCHES OVER AND OVER AND OVER, PUMMELING THE SHIT OUT OF ONE ANOTHER, NOT SHOWING A SINGLE CARE TOWARD THEIR VERY OWN HEALTH, AND INSTEAD JUST LOOKING TO DAMAGE THE OTHER! ROBERTO DE LA ROSA AND ABEL ATAMI TRADE PUNCHES, AND I DON’T KNOW WHO WILL GAIN CONTROL!
Deadprez: PERHAPS IT’LL BE ROBERTO, EVE, AS HE BEGINS TO CONNECT WITH FOREARMS RIGHT TO ABEL’S JAW! THOSE STRIKES STRONGER THAN PUNCHES START TO WEAKEN ABEL, PUSHING HIM BACKWARD INTO THE ROPES! ROBERTO STOPS THE FOREARMS, BEFORE HE IS ABLE TO CLOTHESLINE HIM DIRECTLY OVER THE TOP ROPE! THESE TWO HOSS WRESTLERS ARE GOING AT IT WITH SOME HUGE STRIKES!
Gavin Kirkland: ROBERTO SLIDES UNDERNEATH THE BOTTOM ROPE- WAIT! NO PUN INTENDED, BUT ABEL WAS ABLE TO LAND ON HIS FEET, AND NOW HE GRABS ONTO ROBERTO’S LEG! HE PULLS HIM OFF THE APRON, BEFORE DELIVERING SOME HUGE JABS RIGHT TO THE JAW! ROBERTO STUMBLES BACK, HOWEVER, ABEL DOESN’T ALLOW THIS TO BE JUST STRIKES! GRABBING ROBERTO AT THE BACK OF HIS HEAD, ABEL DRILLS HIM INTO THE STEPS!
Eve: The side of Roberto’s head just collided with that steel, and he completely folded! He isn’t unconscious, but he’s too stunned to get back up! Abel realizes this too, as he instantly goes back to attacking, stomping on his left shoulder over and over, just to make sure he stays down! A brutal side of Abel is being shown right now, however, this isn’t all!
Gavin Kirkland: Abel isn’t going to be wasting any time, though, as he quickly stops stomping on Roberto so he can look underneath the ring! He grabs a hold of a kendo stick, looking to damage his opponent!
Deadprez: This can’t be good, however, this is ALL legal! Abel Atami places that kendo underneath Roberto’s chin, standing behind him, before lifting him up using it! Abel throws him underneath the bottom rope, before slowly sliding in himself! And now Abel… BEGINS TO CRACK IT OVER HIS BACK! CRACK! CRACK! HE’S BRUTALIZING ROBERTO HERE, AND HE’S MAKING THE MOST OUT OF WHAT COULD BE CONSIDERED AS A TAME WEAPON! ABEL ONCE AGAIN PULLS ROBERTO UP INTO A SEATED POSITION, BEFORE SHOVING THE KENDO DOWN HIS SHIRT, SO IT STICKS UP IN HIS FACE… BEFORE HE HITS A RUNNING BIG BOOT, SNAPPING IT IN HALF, AND STICKING SPLINTERS INTO ROBERTO’S HEAD! THE COVER!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Eve: KICK OUT! Usually, around this time, it would be a one count, but we are using weapons here tonight, and that makes everything much more dangerous!
Gavin Kirkland: Absolutely, Eve. Abel would also agree! As Deadprez said, he isn’t going to waste any time, and thus, he slides out of the ring once more! He’s looking for another weapon, but more importantly, he’s looking to damage Roberto De La Rosa even more than he ever has, than anyone ever has!
Eve: That’s entirely correct! Abel Atami looks underneath the ring, before pulling out a steel chair! Abel slips back into the ring, before moving back over to Roberto! He places that chair onto his chest… BEFORE STOMPING ONE FOOT ON IT! APPLYING PRESSURE BY PRESSING THAT FOOT DOWN, HE TRIES TO MAKE THE JAGGED EDGES OF THE BOTTOM HALF OF THE SEAT ON THAT CHAIR DIG RIGHT INTO THE CHEST OF ROBERTO! THIS IS A VERY BRUTAL TACTIC!
Deadprez: PEOPLE WHO SEE THIS MAY JUST THINK THE STEEL IS HURTING THEM BECAUSE OF IT BEING STRONG, AND ASSISTING THE PRESSURE, BUT THEY FORGET THE FACT THAT THE BASE OF A STEEL CHAIR IS HOLLOW, WITH THE EDGES BEING USED AS A MEANS TO, AS YOU SAID, DIG RIGHT INTO HIM! HOLLOW METAL IS SOMETIMES EVEN WORSE THAN SOLID STEEL, GIVEN WHAT IT CAN DO IN SITUATIONS LIKE THIS!
Gavin Kirkland: YOU’RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT, DEADPREZ, AND WE’RE SEEING A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF THIS! AS ABEL TRIES TO GRAZE THAT CHAIR ACROSS ROBERTO’S CHEST, HE KNOWS DAMN WELL HE’S DOING DAMAGE TO HIS OPPONENT! BUT INSTEAD OF WINCING, ROBERTO GRABS ONTO ABEL’S BOOT, PRACTICALLY HELPING HIM! HE HELPS HIM GRAZE HIS CHEST… BEFORE HE SHOVES HIM AWAY!
Eve: ROBERTO DE LA ROSA PUSHES HIMSELF OFF HIS FEET, BEFORE KICKING ABEL INTO THE GUT, AND LANDING A DDT! ABEL APPEARS STUNNED! ROBERTO LOOKS TO BE STILL RECOVERING FROM THAT CHEST DAMAGE, AS HE PULLS HIMSELF OVER THE BOTTOM ROPE TO THE OUTSIDE, HE LOOKS UNDERNEATH THE RING!
(Roberto De La Rosa shuffles underneath the ring, visibly throwing objects such as baseball bats and chairs to the side, looking for something that will suit him better…)
Eve: WAIT… IS THAT A TRASH CAN? WE WENT FROM KENDO STICKS, TO CHAIRS, TO FULL ON TRASH CANS! I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT HE’S GOING TO DO WITH THIS!
(Roberto throws it over the top rope, before sliding in…)
Eve: WAIT! ABEL ATAMI, ‘SAMOAN DROP-’
Deadprez: ELBOW TO THE CHIN! ROBERTO WITH AN ELBOW STUNS ABEL, BEFORE HE HITS ANOTHER! AND ANOTHER! AND ANOTHER! HE STUNS ABEL, BEFORE RUNNING THE ROPES, JUST AFTER SLIPPING OFF… TO CONNECT WITH A RUNNING DROPKICK! ‘CUERNO DE CHIVO’!!!! BUT HE’S NOT DONE, AS HE PLACES THE TRASH CAN ON ABEL’S HEAD, AND SITS HIM UP!
(Roberto exits out onto the apron.)
Gavin Kirkland:… ‘BORDER CRASHER’!!!! THE SPRINGBOARD KNEE TO THE TRASH CAN ON ABEL’S HEAD! HE COVERS!!!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Eve: BUT A KICK OUT!
Gavin Kirkland: ABEL ATAMI SOMEHOW HAS THE ABILITY TO POWER OUT OF IT DESPITE THAT STEEL CRACKING OPEN A CUT JUST OVER HIS EYEBROW! ROBERTO WAS ABLE TO BEND THAT STEEL AT AN ANGLE THAT COMPLETELY DEVASTATED ABLE’S HEAD! BLOOD TRICKLES RIGHT INTO HIS EYE, AS ROBERTO ROLLS AWAY!
Eve: These two are going for each other’s throats, they didn’t even wait for the bell, and now they’re not even pacing themselves! That’s what we’ve seen with huge title matches, huge hardcore matches, we see them pace themselves – but not here! They’re sick of each other’s shit, and want them down!
Deadprez: Especially Roberto, as he grabs Abel Atami by his legs, and drags him to the center of the ring! He grabs Abel by his now-bleeding head, before looking to deliver that suplex lift DDT, perhaps right onto that damn chair!
Gavin Kirkland: Abel is lifted right into the air, but lands on his feet behind Roberto!!! Hooking his waist, he goes for a German Suplex… BUT ROBERTO SWITCHES! HE CONNECTS WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX OF HIS OWN- NO! ABEL PLANTS HIS HIPS, REFUSING TO BE MOVED!
Eve: THESE TWO REALLY AREN’T PACING THEMSELVES, THEY’RE GOING 100 MILES AN HOUR JUST TRYING TO KNOCK THE OTHER DOWN, AND AS THEY CONTINUE TO SLIP BEHIND EACH OTHER, IT’S SO OBVIOUS THIS MOVE ISN’T GOING TO CONNECT! ABEL AND ROBERTO ARE BACKED UP AGAINST THE ROPES… BEFORE GOING TUMBLING THROUGH THEM, ONTO THE MAT OUTSIDE!
Deadprez: ABEL GOES FACE-FIRST, WHEREAS ROBERTO LANDS ON HIS CHEST! BOTH OF THEIR MOST PAINFUL AREAS LAND ON THAT BARELY PROTECTED CONCRETE GROUND! ABEL SEEMS STUNNED, WHEREAS ROBERTO IS GETTING RIGHT BACK UP… TO DELIVER A PUNT KICK TO ABEL’S GOD DAMN HEAD!
Gavin Kirkland: ABEL SOMEHOW DODGES IT, HOWEVER! HE ROLLS AWAY TOWARDS THE BARRICADE, MAKING SURE THAT THE TOE PUNT THAT ROBERTO SENT HIS WAY DIDN’T CONNECT, AS IT WAS OBVIOUSLY GOING FOR THAT EYEBROW! ABEL NOW TRIES TO USE THE BARRICADE TO GET UP TO HIS FEET, PREPARING FOR A RECOVERY… BUT HE’S CAUGHT OFF GUARD! ROBERTO CLOTHESLINES THEM BOTH OVER, THEY’RE IN THE CROWD! THIS IS NOW A LEGIT STREET FIGHT!
Deadprez: AND WHAT’S WORSE IS THE FACT THE REFEREE CAN’T DO A SINGLE THING ABOUT IT! ALL HE CAN DO IS FOLLOW THEM, ALONGSIDE SECURITY, TO MAKE SURE THERE’S NO COLLATERAL DAMAGE! ROBERTO GRABS ABEL BY THE HAIR, BEFORE DRAGGING HIM THROUGH THE CROWD, DELIVERING PUNCHES!
(Roberto drags Abel Atami over toward a scaffolding, set up alongside production equipment, and a table that contains some computing. Roberto starts to swipe away the tech…)
Gavin Kirkland: HEY, WAIT! NOW HE’S JUST RUINING SOME GUY’S LAPTOP! I’M SURE THAT CHROMEBOOK JUST LANDED ON THE GROUND AND SHATTERED! LUCKILY IT WASN’T A GOOD COMPUTER! BUT STILL, HE’S WASTING MONEY!
Eve: :roman: That’s your concern right now, Gavin?
Gavin Kirkland: ABSOLUTELY! I’VE BEEN LOOKING FOR SO LONG TO FIND A MACBOOK-
**CRACK!**
Eve: :krabs:
Deadprez: I’M SURE GAVIN’S SOUL JUST SHATTERED, AS ROBERTO WAS CAUGHT OFF GUARD! HE TRIED TO PLACE ABEL ONTO THE TABLE, BEFORE HE SWUNG THAT CHROMEBOOK RIGHT INTO HIS HEAD! THE GLASS SHATTERS OVER HIS CHROME DOME, AND NOW ROBERTO IS LAID ACROSS THAT TABLE!
Eve: ABEL JUST KNOCKED HIM UNCONSCIOUS WITH THAT LAPTOP, SWINGING IT ACROSS HIS HEAD, BUT STILL HE’S NOT GOING TO FINISH THERE! ABEL ATAMI LOOKS UP AT THE SCAFFOLD THAT LEADS UP TO AN ELEVATED PLATFORM, PERHAPS THE 30-40TH ROW, AND BEGINS TO CLIMB! IF HE DOES WHAT I THINK HE’S GOING TO DO, HE COULD RUIN ROBERTO’S CHANCES HERE!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT WITH EACH STEP, ROBERTO STARTS TO RECOVER! SHAKING HIS HEAD, HE REACHES UP AND GRABS ONTO ABEL’S BOOT, MORE SPECIFICALLY, THE LACES! HE KEEPS TUGGING AT ABEL’S LEG, AND TRIES TO PULL HIM DOWN…
(However, Abel’s boot flies straight off, and Roberto loses his grip.)
Gavin Kirkland: Oh! That was unfortunate! Roberto accidentally let go of Abel, and now he gives Abel a chance to strike… AS HE LEAPS OFF THE SCAFFOLD-
Eve: ROBERTO CATCHES HIM! HE PUTS HIM IN THE POWERBOMB POSITION, AND MOVES TOWARDS THE TABLE-
**CRACK!**
Eve: BUT ABEL WITH A PIPE TO THE HEAD! ROBERTO KNEELS DOWN, AS ABEL SLIPS OFF HIS SHOULDERS… NO! ROBERTO WITH THE LOW BLOW!
Deadprez: BOTH OF THESE TWO ELITISTS FALL DOWN ONTO THEIR BACKS, COMPLETELY OUT COLD! ABEL HOLDING HIS CROTCH, WHEREAS ROBERTO IS HOLDING ONTO HIS HEAD! HE TOOK A STEEL PIPE TO THE HEAD, WHEREAS ABEL TOOK THAT LAPTOP RIGHT INTO THE JEWELS! NEITHER OF THAT COULD BE FEELING GOOD RIGHT ABOUT NOW!
Gavin Kirkland: Absolutely not! Having an object like that go right into your peas and pipe really isn’t something you want, whereas on the other hand, steel going right into your skull is not something you want either. Both of these two got it, regardless. Both of these two just had to suffer something nobody wants to ever suffer, and it didn’t pay off for the either of them. They literally did it just so their opponent would be in pain, just so they’d get that tasteful satisfaction of punishing someone you despise to the fullest extent. God, that was satisfying when Jamie O’Hara drilled his knee into Kassidy Heart’s skull, and I’m sure these two agree with this situation!
Eve: What happened AFTER Jamie did that, though?
Gavin Kirkland: My memory has gone fuzzy. :mjpls:
(Abel Atami and Roberto De La Rosa slowly start to rise to their feet. As they reach their knees, they but heads, placing their foreheads against each other… Until Roberto gets in a cheap shot!)
Deadprez: OH! ROBERTO SLAMS ABEL’S HEAD INTO THE TABLE! HE WASN’T EXPECTING THAT AT ALL, AND HE’S NOW DAZED! ABEL IS SLUMPED ACROSS THAT TABLE, AND NOW ROBERTO STARTS TO CRAWL UP THE SCAFFOLD, UP TO WHERE THE FANS ARE, INSTEAD OF BEING BEHIND BARRICADES! ROBERTO LOOKS TO JUMP… WAIT… Huh?
(Roberto grabs a fan by the shoulder…)
Eve: What is he… OH! KICK TO THE GUT! HE KICKS THE FAN IN THE GUT! HE LIFTS HIM UP FOR A POWERBOMB! WHAT ON EARTH IS HE GOING TO DO? HE WALKS TOWARDS THE EDGE… AND POWERBOMBS HIM OFF!! THROUGH THE TABLE, AND ON TOP OF ABEL!
**CRASH…**
**HISS!!!!!**
Eve: BUT… ABEL DODGED, AND INSTANTLY GRABBED A FIRE EXTINGUISHER! A FEW SECONDS PASSES, BEFORE HE SHOOTS IT STRAIGHT INTO ROBERTO’S FACE! ROBERTO STUMBLES DOWN, BEFORE ABEL STARTS TO CLIMB UP BEHIND HIM! ROBERTO THOUGHT HE WAS SAFE UP THERE, BUT HE CERTAINLY ISN’T ANYMORE!
Deadprez: ABEL ATAMI GRABS ROBERTO DE LA ROSA BY THE BACK OF HIS HEAD, BEFORE PULLING HIM UP ONTO HIS SHOULDERS, IN THE FIREMAN’S CARRY POSITION! OH JESUS, THIS CAN’T BE GOOD! HE TURNS HIM AROUND, AND LOOKS TOWARDS THE EDGE… AND LEAPS…
Eve: SAMOAN DROP RIGHT ONTO THE CABLE CART!
Crowd: :damn:!!!!
(Abel and Roberto lie down on top of the cable cart, both of them in immense pain, as the referee runs over to them. He grabs both of their hands, looking for a reaction… only, neither of them do so.)
Eve: :lupe:!!! Neither of them are answering the referee, this must be bad! They had a terrible landing, and went straight onto a hard surface, from THAT height. And now… they won’t grip the referee’s hand back. Usually that means they’re okay to operate, and simply cannot respond, or the referee can’t hear them… not grabbing him back is a bad sign.
(The referee holds up an X, and a few moments later, security and paramedics sprint over. They start to lift them both off the cable cart…)
Deadprez: Yeah, this definitely cannot be good. There’s no way this can be good. Neither of them responded, and now a group of men have to carry them out of their current position.
(One by one, the security and paramedics take them back over the barricade, and back to ringside. The crowd boos, as they start to take them up the ramp…)
Eve: This crowd does not seem pleased. There doesn’t appear to be a legit conclusion-
**SLAP!**
Eve: OH! ROBERTO AND ABEL BOTH BREAK FREE, AND AFTER STUMBLING AROUND FOR A SECOND, CONNECT WITH STEREO FOREARM STRIKES TO THE PARAMEDICS! THEY DROP DOWN TO THE GROUND, AS THE SECURITY LOOKS TO STEP IN! THEY LOOK TO STOP THEM…
Deadprez: BUT THE REFEREE HOLDS THEM BACK!
Referee: (off-mic) THEY NEED TO FIGHT!
(Roberto and Abel slowly stumble toward each other, once again going head-to-head… Before trading blows!)
Eve: ABEL! ROBERTO! ABEL! ROBERTO! ONE BY ONE, THEY TRADE FOREARM STRIKES, LOOKING TO TAKE EACH OTHER OUT! ONCE AGAIN, DEALING DAMAGE TO ONE ANOTHER, AS IF NOTHING HAD EVER HAPPENED! ABEL’S BLOOD SPLATTERS ALL OVER ROBERTO’S ARM, AND IT DOESN’T STOP HIM! ABEL ATAMI… NOW CONNECTS WITH THE SAMOAN SPIKE-
Gavin Kirkland: ROBERTO WITH A HUGE KICK TO ABEL’S KNEE, FORCES HIM TO DROP DOWN TO ONE! HE COULD’VE JUST KNOCKED HIM OUT, BUT ROBERTO WAS ONE STEP AHEAD! ROBERTO NOW GRABS ABEL BY THE HAIR, AND THROWS HIM INTO THE RING! BUT IF THAT WASN’T IT, HE LOOKS UNDER THE RING… AND GRABS A BASEBALL BAT!
Deadprez: THAT BASEBALL BAT IS GOING TO DO SOME SERIOUS DAMAGE, AS ROBERTO NOW SLIDES INTO THE RING! A STEEL BASEBALL BAT IN HAND, HE STANDS UP IN THE CORNER, WAITING FOR ABEL TO GET BACK UP TO HIS FEET! ROBERTO SPRINTS FORWARD, AND SWINGS THAT STEEL DIRECTLY INTO ABEL ATAMI’S HEAD, AS IF HE WAS TRYING TO COMPLETELY DECAPITATE HIM-
**STAB!**
Eve: OH CHRIST! ABEL ATAMI STABS THAT BROKEN PIECE OF KENDO STICK RIGHT INTO ROBERTO DE LA ROSA’S STOMACH! IT’S STUCK IN THERE, EVEN IF IT LOOKS LIKE IT’S HANGING ON BY A THREAD!!! ABEL PULLS THE KNEEPAD DOWN…
Deadprez: THEN LIFTS ROBERTO ONTO HIS SHOULDERS… HE HAS IT LOCKED IN… BAM! ‘SAMOAN’S KNEE’!! THE FIREMAN’S CARRY KNEE STRIKE, RIGHT TO DE LA ROSA’S HEAD!!! THE COVER!
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Gina Romano: HERE IS YOUR WINNER… ABEEEEEL ATAAAAAAMIIIIIIIII!!
(‘Madness’ by KSI hits the speakers, as a mixed crowd reaction encores. Abel slowly rolls off of Roberto, holding onto his eyebrow; the same eyebrow that was pouring pools of blood not too long ago, and the same eyebrow that was completely damaged throughout the match. He doesn’t let it phase him, however, as he starts to push himself off the mat, with the referee then raising his hand.)
Eve: Abel Atami is victorious! After one brutal, fast paced match, Abel Atami was able to put his opponent away! Despite taking a trash can shot to the head, and almost getting put through a table, hell, both men landing straight onto a cable cart, Abel Atami mustered up the strength to pick up that every satisfying victory, a victory he needs heading into what could be his best Christmas yet!
Deadprez: I think you’re understating how badly that cable cart affected them! They weren’t moving, nor responding, for the longest time, until they realized what was going on! They had to assault the people looking to help them out just so they could continue on with the match, and make sure that they got a definitive answer! Seeing a street fight end by stoppage, because they were too badly hurt, would be a terrible thing to see, but these two men were too tough.
Gavin Kirkland: But in the end, Abel Atami was the toughest. Drilling that wooden kendo stick straight into Roberto De La Rosa’s gut, he drew blood, and did damage. Not only that, but he delivered that knee strike to his head, a move heavily inspired by Ronn Banks’ Go To Retirement, and more importantly, with a bare knee to the head. You don’t just DO that. You have to go to brutal, and dark places in order to even think of doing so, yet to actually pull the trigger? That’s another thing entirely. I just wish that British Pawg was out here.
(As Abel Atami rests on the middle rope, he continues to wipe the blood away from his head, staining his whole hand. Abel bends down, and wipes his hand on the white canvas, staining part of it red, quite literally leaving a piece of himself in the ring, symbolically showing what he had to do in order to come out on top. By leaving his blood on that canvas, he is showing the whole world that he is willing to put life and limb on the line FOR that ring. Abel Atami slips underneath the bottom rope, and stumbles up the ramp, before Showdown fades to commercial break…)
(A commercial for pedo staches ft. Abel Atami and Ronan Malosi begin to air.)
(As we return from break it focuses on the Announcers Booth with Deadp Rez, Eve and Gavin Kirkland.)
Deadprez: Earlier today we have some pre-recorded comments from the Challenger and Champion to the Hardcore title that none of us expected to happen.
Eve: We really didn’t but I am so excited that we are looking at a match that could be one of the most brutal in a long time. Both had a lot to say.
Gavin Kirkland: I can watch Sierra all day, play her first and then last again.
(The scene switches to Sierra sitting in front of the camera as she begins to speak.)
Sierra: Road To Redemption means a lot to me, in more ways than one. It’s the event where I made my Free-Per-View debut in the Extreme Enigma Battle Royale, it’s the event where I had my second match in Elite Answers Wrestling, and it’s a point of reflection for the amount of years that I’ve been in this company. We’re nearing two years now, two years ever since I signed pen to paper and made my debut against Jalyn Garcia… and I feel like everything since then has been more than fulfilling. I did everything that the little girl I once was aspired to accomplish and more, and despite everything that I’ve been through, I walk out with my head high because of that, win or loss at Road To Redemption. I remember, when I was 8 years old, always sitting at home in front of the TV and instead of watching girly kids shows full of glitter and sparkle, I watched wrestling with my dad. To think they wanted me to actually go to college and live my life, fuck it. I wouldn’t trade the world for this and I’m glad I stuck with my gut, no matter what other people try to say to me, certain people who believed I couldn’t do it or I didn’t have what it took to do it… ehm… I’ll admit, I have had my roadblocks, some more than others, but that’s what makes me myself. I want to have it the hard way, because the savory victory that I’m going to get coming out of it will be even sweeter once it comes around.
Sierra: I’ve been fighting an uphill battle my entire life, one that has done everything in its power to throw all that it’s got at me in hopes of taking me down. So to say that facing Limmy is going to be a challenge, broadening our horizons, to say winning the Hardcore Championship is going to be a challenge, sure. Nothing was ever going to come easy for me and even if that was going to happen, I don’t expect it to start now. For the past few months now my back has been against the wall and instead of whining and complaining about it I’ve made the best I can out of that no matter if I was at rock bottom. I strived to sustain myself and show that there was more than meets the eye when it comes to someone like me, now here I am. So at this point in my career, there is nothing that will hurt me. I expect to hear the criticisms from everyone, I expect to hear the naysayers shout down from the rooftops about how this Championship opportunity isn’t deserved or this is one obstacle that I’m just never going to overcome… but to them, they can stick it. I’ve always held something that Consuela Rose Ava said close to me, and it’s not about disproving what the people that fight against you have to say, it’s proving the people that believe in you right. But I don’t give a damn anymore, because I’m at this point where I don’t even know if I’m right. I don’t know if what I’m doing is morally just anymore, I’m just doing whatever the hell I damn please. Because I’m at this point in my career where I’m sick of following orders, I’m sick of abiding by the rules of someone that couldn’t give a damn about me in hindsight. This should’ve been done a long time ago, but I’m moving to the beat of my own drum now.
Sierra: Doing whatever the hell I damn please and if any of you have a problem with that then you can say it to my face. Which is what I hope Limmy Monaghan is so eager to do heading into Road To Redemption. I genuinely hope he doesn’t disappoint, I genuinely hope that he doesn’t make the same mistakes that everyone else does and repeats the same things towards me like I haven’t heard it before. Your big thesaurus carbon copy Impact plagiarized bullshit isn’t going to scare me Limmy, don’t you dare try to make the mistake of coming into this match with that type of idiotic mentality. Despite everything that you’ve seen from the outside looking in, that doesn’t mean I’m not a competent Elitist. I know this place inside and out because I’ve been through everything that I’ve been through, which gives me the type of validation to say that I’m going to put you through hell. I don’t care what people think of me coming out of this. They may think of me as a villain, a wrongen, downright scum, and that’s fine by me. I only have one goal coming into this match and that’s to make you bleed, that’s to make you suffer. You can hide behind all the words you want in hopes that it masks you with a false bravado of courage and egoism, despite everything that you may know, talk is cheap compared to what happens inside of a wrestling ring. I’m coming in shooting to kill and I don’t mean that by any exaggeration, people questioned if I really was going to do anything to come out on top in this match, and the fucking answer is yes. I will make sure that Limmy remembers me not just as a title defense, but as the one person that he overlooked that will rain down hellfire and brimstone as a result. More than one year ago I took away the Unified Tag Team Championships from you and your poor friend who you can’t cope without, Mark Macias. Now a year later, I do the same thing and put the Hardcore Championship in my possession.
Sierra: So when I say that you’re going to have to kill me to get your way, Limmy… to get that Hardcore Championship back in your possession when everything is said and done… it’s something that I mean from the bottom of my fucking heart. So at Road To Redemption, you better get to work. All the luck in the world for someone like you, but I’m going to prove that this is my moment all along and absolutely nobody is going to take that away from me, not even ‘The Monarch.’
(The feed now switches to Limmy Monaghan with a very serious demeanor etched on his face…)
Limmy Monaghan: I’d like to get one thing straight; I am not mad that Sierra did what she did, and to be honest, I am glad she did. I expect Elitists to step up the way she did. I expect challengers to come after me the way she did. And before I get into anything, I need that to be realized, whether it be Sierra who needs to hear it, or anyone else. It wasn’t too long ago that I told Donovan Duke, in the most sincere way, that I am an addict for competition. After all, I wasn’t lying. I wasn’t making things up. I was telling him, and everyone else, the reality of why *I* compete. What really drives me. And if we throw away all of my personal feelings towards Sierra’s whole plan, then I can respect how adamant she has been this whole time. How, from day one, she didn’t waste anyone’s time, as Lethal Consequences did – she got straight into business. I can respect that Sierra took a crowbar to my back, because she is doing exactly what I want every single Elitist in this company to do. Take control of where their challenge lies.
Limmy Monaghan: But that… that is just the groundwork, that is just the basis of my argument. Truthfully, that’s the foundation. Because whilst I respect her approach, whilst I wish so many other Elitists were able to do such a thing, without tripping, and falling – she will not be more than a ‘challenge.’ She’ll try her best. She’ll deliver everything she has. But she will be nothing more than 20 minutes of frustration, trial, and error, until I finally land my mark. She will be nothing more than an Elitist to make me both sweat, and bleed, whilst my hand is held high. Not because she came out and made an enemy out of me. That would be a redundant reduction on my end. What really made her be nothing more than a challenge, is the fact that she isn’t doing it because she craves this title, it’s just because it suits her best. She doesn’t value what it would mean to hold this, that’s not why she’s here. She just needs gold, and she knows what brutality means for her. If it were any other day of the week, this mindset would be enough. After all, I didn’t win this because I wanted to. It’s just the fact that not even her will will outmatch mine.
Limmy Monaghan: There’s only so much that desire, and dreams can accomplish. There’s only so much that hope can bring you. Wishful thinking is great as a momentary prolapse of “the feels”, just to get you that extra boost. But that’s just momentary. There’s only so much that wanting to be Hardcore can do, even Lethal Consequences made this mistake. Brutality, and the need to win a championship belt, is not enough to defeat an Elitist who is dead set on being more than a man to hold a title. Looking to hold a title will not outweigh a man looking to be a *Champion.* To have a reign people look back on fondly, to have what could be considered an all time great. Letting that go to waste just so another Elitist can have another taste of what it’s like to be in the spotlight for 15 more minutes is not something that is on my bucket list. Sierra will learn that the hard way. Because, even though I could focus on the statistics of our previous matches to send it into her favor, or focus on the overall difference between our positions now to send it into mine – tonight, I need to let her know that her mindset does not equal the success she believes it does.
Limmy Monaghan: Sierra can “pummel the shit out of me” but she can’t match anything I’m throwing in her direction. She can’t live up to the *expectations* I have set for myself, and for the first time since I have won this title, I will not end up disappointed when it comes to defending it. I will not end up disappointed as I did Lethal Consequence’s performance, and I will not end up disappointed in myself. The beggars belief that Limmy Monaghan is a flavor of the month Elitist will soon be shattered, and when my inevitable rise to the Answers World Championship occurs, it will be nothing short of earned. As for Sierra? It could serve as either a learning curve, or once again, another trip down into the dark abyss she seems familiar with. I am not the one to decide. But she’ll eventually come to understand that she’ll never get what she wants until she knows how to acquire it. It sounds obvious, it sounds as if I’m saying she’ll never grab something until she grabs it, but is it really that deep? Not at all. I have no reason to believe she *wants* the Hardcore Championship. She just doesn’t want to fall behind.
(Limmy Monaghan leans forward.)
Limmy Monaghan: However, despite that, she *will* fall behind; and she will hate every minute of it.
(As the camera focuses on Limmy, fades back to the Announce Team.)
Deadprez: Those are two Elitists that are ready to tear each other apart, but right now, for those EAW fans that have not witnessed a chamber or simply want to be reminded of what these Elitists will go through to become a World Champion, let’s flash back to Road to Redemption last year, when this match saw the crowning of a new Answers World Champion.
Eve: It was an incredible event.
Gavin Kirkland: Yes… my cum sock!
Eve: :Let’s just go to the Rewind!
(The scene shifts again to last year’s Road to Redemption….)
Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS AN EXTREME ELIMINATION CHAMBER MATCH!! AND IT IS FOR THE EAW ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!
(“BxMxC” by BABYMETAL hits as Jack Ripley walks out determined, and ready for overcome this challenge. He is holding a railroad spike.)
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST…FROM LAS VEGAS, NEVADA…WEIGHING IN AT 202 POUNDS…JJAACCCCKK RRIIPPLLLEEEYYYY!!!!!
Eve: This man has been through a lot. He nearly walked away with the title he’s competing for tonight back at Midsummer Massacre, and he was supposed to be fighting for the Interwire Championship, but an unfortunate injury took that from him. He wants this more than anything and it’s hard to bet against him!
Deadprez: Check out that weapon. A railroad spike! Wow, that should be interesting. He had a blanket last year, don’t forget. But Jack ain’t playing around tonight!
(Jack walks into his pod as his theme fades. Then ‘Last Strike’ by Polo G hits as Jon Kelton makes his way to the ring, and he’s holding some type of custom bat. He also gives a huge sigh before making his walk to the ring.)
Gina Romano: FROM DALLAS, TEXAS….WEIGHING IN AT 210 POUNDS…..JJOOONNN KEEELLTTTOOONNNN!!!!!
Eve: A man on a mission to show that the 24/7 contract wasn’t his ceiling since returning to this company. He has so much to prove and he knows this is the perfect place to do it with several high level stars in this match. He knows this is the biggest opportunity of his life, and he doesn’t plan on wasting it. I look forward to seeing how Jon utilized this opportunity tonight!
Deadprez: Check out the weapon though. Apparently it;s a barbed wire baseball bat….WITH A SAW BLADE ATTACHED TO IT!
Eve: THAT’S INSANE! The creativity of some of these elitists.
(Jon then steps into his pod as “Last Strike” fades. A few seconds later, “”Young and Bitter” by Hot Tag Media plays and Lucas Johnson walks out with a serious approach on his face. He ha shis barbed wire bat across his shoulder as he makes his way to the ring, ready for war.)
Gina Romano: FROM LONG ISLAND, NEW YORK….WEIGHING IN AT 197 POUNDS….LLUUCCAASSS JJOOOHHHNNNSSSOOONNNNN!!!!
Deadprez: Lucas is a guy people think doesn’t deserve to be here. He lost his qualifying match to Kelton, but then made his way into the match by taking out SKA, and then Ryan announcing him as his replacement. You just gotta wonder if this little amount of time to prepare, if it will play any role. He wants to get rid of his demons inside the chamber as he competed in it before, and sees tonight as the perfect opportunity! With this new attitude he’s been showing as of late, he could certainly get the job done here tonight and shock the world!
Eve: A barbed wire baseball bat. A nice choice of his here. I look forward to how he utilizes it.
(Lucas steps into his pod with his bat.)

Gina Romano: AND FROM ORLANDO, FLORIDA….WEIGHING IN AT 110 POUNDS….AAANNDRRREEEAAA VVAALLEENNNTTTINNNNEEEEEE!!!!
Eve: Andrea is the winner of two straight chamber matches, including winning her first World Title last year in it. She knows what it’s like to win a world title in this match. She has been displaying a different side of her, but I guess that doesn’t matter because all she needs is herself, and she;s walking in knowing she can win the chamber yet again and will do anything it takes to do so, and she don’t care if she hurts “Mary from Nebraska’s daughter” in the process.
Deadprez: Nice little weapon she has there. It’s the same type of hammer Harley Quinn used in the movies “Birds Of Prey” and the top of the hammer is wrapped in barbed wire. Very creative and unique one here.
(Andrea steps into the final pod.)

Gina Romano: FROM COCOA BEACH, FLORIDA…WEIGHING IN AT 210 POUNDS….BBRRROONNNSSSOONNNN DDAANNNIIEEELLLSSSSS!!!!!
Eve: Here comes maybe the dark horse to win this entire thing. He has been on fire all week promoting this match, and from what we saw, he is ready to go the distance and he is ready to write his wrong from Reasonable Doubt, and take advantage of this opportunity that is in front of him. So much to prove and everything to gain for this young man. But…the moment we’ve all been waiting for….what’s his weapon?! :lupe:
Deadprez: What’s that on his head?!
Gavin Kirkland: Is that a dick?!

Deadprez: I’m getting word he’s using a barbed wire dildo. :comeagain:
Eve: THAT’S what we were waiting on all week?!
Deadprez: There’s gotta be more.
(Bronson steps into the ring, and awaits Jamie to come out, and he is jumping up and down warming himself up.)

Gina Romano: AND FROM LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA…WEIGHING IN AT 190 POUNDS….HE IS THE REIGNING EAW ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION…..JAAAMMMIIEEE O’ HAAARRRAAAAAA!!!!!!
Eve: What a champion Jamie has been so far. He’s no stranger to walking into the chamber as champion either, and tonight looks to make it the third time in his career. But he’s got a long road ahead of him as he’s starting this match out. I’m sure he wouldn’t want it any other way to start it out. He walked out of the Cell still champion, now we’ll see if he can conquer the Chamber.
Gavin Kirkland: You guys know his baby was just born? The baby Ace is now on the rise! :blessed:
Eve: Yes, very cute. Congratulations to him and Cameron on the birth of Hathaway!
Deadprez: Check out the weapon though. Barbed wire didgeridoo again. Very interesting!
(Jamie steps inside the chamber, and then the referee locks the chamber door as he hands the Answers World Championship off, and the referee raises it high.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Deadprez: HERE WE GO! Jamie steps forward with his didgeridoo, and Bronson steps forward with that…barbed wire dildo. Jamie steps forward to come face to face with Bronson, BUT WHAT THE–
Eve: THAT BARBED WIRE DILDO JUST SHOT FIRE AT THE FACE AT JAMIE!! :damn:
Gavin Kirkland: HOW DARE HE DO THAT!! IS HE ALLOWED TO BRING THAT IN?!
Deadprez: Bronson did say he was searching for the perfect weapon, but fucking hell!
Eve: Jamie stumbles back holding his face, and Jamie drops his weapon as Bronson begins to go on the attack and he has Jamie in the corner…AND BRONSON SLAPS JAMIE ACROSS THE FACE WITH THE DILDO FLAMETHROWER!
Gavin Kirkland: I heard Jamie likes that. :mjlit:
Deadprez: Jamie stumbles now into the corner holding his face in serious pain. Bronson now begins to unload on Jamie with several body shots to the rib cage and lower body. Jamie is trying to cover up but is having no luck as Bronson is throwing shots as hard as he can, before Bronson backs up into the opposite corner.
Eve: BRONSON THEN RUNS AND LAUNCHES HIS KNEES INTO THE CHEST OF JAMIE IN THE CORNER! Bronson now then follows that up with a monkey flip flopping Jamie to the center of the ring, BUT JAMIE LANDED ON HIS FEET! Jamie has burn marks on his face as he awaits Bronson to turn around, And then Jamie connects with the superkick!
Gavin Kirkland: NO!! Bronson ducks the superkick! Kick to the midsection. But Jamie catches his foot before spinning Bronson around, and then Bronson connects with a spinning leaping enziguri! Jamie is dropped to one knee now as Bronson runs off the ropes–
Eve: OH MY GOSH!!! JAMIE GRABBED HIS BARBED WIRE DIDGERIDOO AND SWINGS IT RIGHT AT THE HEAD OF BRONSON!!! BRONSON FALLS TO THE MAT LIKE A SACK OF POTATOES!!
Deadprez: Both competitors have made use of their weapons early on here in this match, and Jamie walks over to Bronson and lifts him upward, and Jamie has ahold of Bronson’s head and he’s forcing Bronson’s eyelids open with one hand!! :lupe:
Eve: AND JAMIE DRIVES THE BARBED WIRE INTO THE OPEN EYES OF BRONSON DANIELS!!! :damn:
Eve: Jamie eventually lets go and picks up Bronson by the dreads, and BRONSON OUT OF ADRENALINE SPEARS JAMIE AND DRIVES HIM BACKWARDS THROUGH THE SECOND ROPE AND BOTH GO TO THE OUTSIDE ONTO THE STEEL!
Deadprez: Both Bronson and Jamie are up and begin exchanging shots, but Jamie manages to get the upper hand and grabs Bronson by the head and throws him head first into the chained wall… AND THEN JAMIE THROWS BRONSON DOWN ONTO THE STEEL BY THE BACK OF HIS HEAD! WHAT VELOCITY!!
(Jamie looks into the pod next to him, where Andrea is standing with her hammer, and she gives a little wave at Jamie.)
Jamie O’Hara: (no mic) Oooh Jesus, keep that Chucky doll locked up! ::lupe:
Andrea Valentine: (no mic) RUDE!
Deadprez: Jamie turns around and charges at Bronson who’s beginning to stir…but Bronson sidesteps and bounces Jamie’s face off the plexiglass of the pod opposite Andrea where Jack Ripley is in! Bronson now grabs the back of Jamie’s head and slams it repeatedly into the pod!
Bronson Daniels: (no mic) HOW DO YOU LIKE IT HUH?!
Eve: Bronson now backs up, and then–
Gavin Kirkland: MY ACE!!!! BRONSON SPEARS JAMIE THROUGH THE PLEXIGLASS FOR ONE OF THE PODS!!!
Jack Ripley: (no mic) Oh, I guess I’m in then.
Deadprez: Jack Ripley I guess now has entered the chamber since his pod was broken, and he steps out of the mod and sees Bronson Daniels beginning to crawl out of the pod with shattered glass on his back, and Jack Ripley–
(Jack shrugs his shoulders.)
Eve: Jack Ripley whacks Bronson on the back of his head with the railroad spike! Bronson is screaming in serious agony right now as Jack Ripley then picks up Bronson and throws him into the opposite pod, the one Andrea is on. Now Jack begins to follow it up and connects with an uppercut to the jaw knocking Bronson into the steel wall! Jack slams Bron’s head into the steel wall, and then again, and again, and AGAIN! Bronson’s head is taking a beating early on in this match. :lupe:
Gavin Kirkland: He’s gonna become even more stupider than he already is. Did you SEE his videos this week?!
Deadprez: Jack grabs Bronson by the head, and then backs up a few steps BEFORE THROWING BRONSON FACE FIRST INTO THE CHAIN LINKED WALL!! BUT NO, WHAT THE HELL?!?!
Eve: BRONSON DANIELS LEAPED ONTO THE CHAIN WALL LIKE SPIDER MAN!! JACK NOTICES AND GOES UP TO GRAB BRONSON, BUT BRONSON THEN KICKS JACK IN THE FACE REPEATEDLY…AND THEN JACK FALLS DOWN TO THE STEEL BELOW! BRONSON IS HIGH UP ON THE WALL NOW AS HE ASCENDS UP HIGHER…AND LOOK JAMIE IS CRAWLING OUT OF THE GLASS MESS, AND BOTH HIM AND JACK STAND UP NEXT TO EACH OTHER….OH MY!!
Deadprez: BRONSON LEAPS OFF THE STEEL WALL AND TAKES OUT BOTH JACK AND JAMIE!!
Gavin Kirkland: Bronson slowly begins to slowly get back to his feet and then picks up Jack who was stirring on both knees, and then Bronson throws Jack through the second rope into the ring, and Bronson now begins to measure up Jack as Jack then turns around–
Eve: BRONSON SPRINGBOARDS OFF THE TOP ROPE FROM THE OUTSIDE–
Deadprez: BUT JACK GRABBED THE BARBED WIRED DIDGERIDOO INSIDE THE RING AND WHIPS IT ACROSS THE STOMACH OF BRONSON IN MID AIR!! AND JACK THEN RUNS OFF THE ROPES–DAYLIGHT SLAYING TIME!!!!! THE RUNNING KNEE TO THE FACE OF BRONSON AS JACK FALLS AND HOOKS THE LEG OF BRONSON!!!!
OOONNNNNNNEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTWWWWWOOOOO!!!!!!!!
TTHHHHRRREEEEEEEE!!!!!!
Eve: BRONSON SURVIVES IT! And now it’s Jack who hops on top of Bronson mounting him and begins to unload with the forearm shots, and now Bronson now begins to pour blood from the forehead! Jack right now is relentless with the attack!
Gavin Kirkland: MY ACE JAMIE COMES OUT OF NOWHERE AND CONNECTS WITH A LEAPING SPRINGBOARD CLOTHESLINE TAKING JACK DOWN! ALL THREE COMPETITORS IN THIS MATCH SO FAR ARE ALL DOWN AND OUT IN THE CENTER OF THE RING!
10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5!…
4! 3! 2! 1!…..
*BUZZ*
(The blue spotlight flickers between Andrea, Lucas, and Jon Kelton’s pods, before it ultimately stops on someone.)
Eve; A WINNER OF TWO STRAIGHT CHAMBER MATCHES THE PAST TWO YEARS ENTERS! ANDREA VALENTINE ENTERS AND SHE’S READY TO GO TO WAR! Andrea steps into the ring with her hammer, which is the hammer Harley Quinn uses in the movie “Birds Of Prey” and the top is wrapped in barbed wire. She steps inside the ring and sees all three competitors down, and she awaits for one of them to get to their feet!
Deadprez: Jack Ripley rises, and then ANDREA SWINGS THE BARBED WIRE HAMMER INTO THE MIDSECTION OF JACK! AND THEN SHE HITS JACK ON THE BACK WITH IT! BRONSON DANIELS IS UP, AND THEN ANDREA NAILS THE BLOODIED BRONSON IN THE FOREHEAD WITH IT TAKING HIM OUT! AND THEN FINALLY, JAMIE IS UP…AND THEN ANDREA SWINGS AND HITS JAMIE IN THE STOMACH! JAMIE BENDS OVER IN PAIN AND ANDREA HITS HIM ACROSS THE BACK! JAMIE IS ON THE GROUND IN PAIN–AND ANDREA IS SWINGING THE BARBED WIRE HARLEY HAMMER LIKE A MADWOMAN ON JAMIE! JAMIE IS SCREAMING IN AGONY!!
Gavin Kirkland: That’s hot. :ahh:
Eve: Andrea now turns her attention to Jack on the ground and she is swinging at his back like a madwoman again, and then to Bronson! She is like a woman possessed! Now Andrea drags Jack up and brings him near the corner, BUT JACK REGAINS CONTROL AND THEN CONNECTS WITH A BACK BODY DROP AND ANDREA LANDS BACK FIRST ON THE OUTSIDE STEEL OUTSIDE THE RING! Jack takes his time inside the ring, before setting up something with Andrea as she begins to stir in the outside…AND JACK RUNS OFF THE ROPES–JACK LEAPS OVER THE TOP ROPE–
Deadprez: ANDREA PICKS UP THAT RAILROAD SPIKE THAT WAS JACK’S WEAPON AND AND SPIKES IT INTO THE HEAD OF THE FLYING JACK RIPLEY!!! JACK RIPLEY IS ANOTHER WHO HAS JUST BEEN BUSTED OPEN! AND NOW ANDREA GOES FOR THE COVER ON THE OUTSIDE!

Deadprez: Meanwhile, back inside the ring, Jamie and Bronson are getting back to their feet, and now Jamie throws a right hand! Bronson connects with one of his own! Back and forth they go now with exchanging shots at one another! BRONSON THEN SWINGS AT THE HEAD OF THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION–BUT JAMIE DUCKS AND THEN CONNECTS WITH A BACKHANDED ELBOW TAKING BRONSON DOWN, AND THEN JAMIE RIGHT AWAY FOLLOWS THAT UP WITH A STANDING DOUBLE FOOT STOMP TO THE CHEST!
Eve: Jamie doesn’t go for the cover and instead opts to crawl away, and he makes his way over to his didgeridoo, and then he makes his way over to the corner! WHAT IN THE WORLD IS JAMIE THINKING HERE?! And WHAT?! Jamie turns around on the top rope and ascends high on top of the chamber pod! Jamie has the didgeridoo in his hand on top of the pod as he eyes Bronson in the ring!
Gavin Kirkland: HOLY FUCK!!! BRONSON ALMOST LIKE HE WAS PLAYING DEAD POPS UP AND CLIMBS UP THE TOP ROPE OUT OF ADRENALINE AND JAMIE LOOKS LIKE HE’S SEEN A GHOST WITH THE SPEED BRONSON WAS MOVING! BRONSON NOW IS THROWING RIGHT HANDS UP AT JAMIE WHO’S HIGHER THAN HIM ON THE POD! AND NOW BRONSON HOPS UP WITH JAMIE, AND BOTH MEN ARE ON TOP OF THE POD!!
Eve: BRONSON SEEMS TO HAVE CONTROLS BUT THEN JAMIE CONNECTS WITH AN UPPERCUT, AND BRONSON SLIPS BACK DOWN TO THE TOP ROPE BENEATH…AND OH MY GOSH!!!! JAMIE LOWERS HIS BARBED WIRED DIDGERIDOO AND REACHES DOWN AND WRAPS IT UNDER THE THROAT OF BRONSON DANIELS!! BRONSON’S FEET FALL OFF THE TOP ROPE AND NOW JAMIE HAS HIM DANGLING CHOKING HIM WITH THE BARBED WIRE WRAPPED DIDGERIDOO!!!
Deadprez: JAMIE RAISES THE DIDGERIDOO FROM THE NECK OF BRONSON AND THE DANGLING BRONSON FALLS DOWN TO THE MAT! JAMIE SETS THE DIDGERIDOO DOWN AS HE LOOKS DOWN AT THE LIFELESS BRONSON! WHAT IS HE THINKING?!?!
Eve: **GGEEENNKKIII CANNNOOONNNN!!!!!** FROM THE TOP OF THE POD ON BRONSON!!!
Deadprez: BUT BRONSON MOVES!! AND JAMIE IS HOLDING HIS ANKLE IN PAIN AS HE LANDED ON IT HARD AND WRONG IT SEEMS! BRONSON JUST DODGED A HUGE BULLET THERE!!

AND THEN JON WALKS RIGHT INTO A HIGH KNEE FROM BRONSON AND INTO THE ARMS OF JACK RIPLEY AS JACK RIPLEY CONNECTS WITH THE BACKSTABBER ON JON KELTON!!
Deadprez: Bronson turns his attention to Jack as Jack does likewise, and both begin hammering away on each other! Jack then throws a knee to the midsection of Bronson! And then grabs the head of Bronson and drives his knee repeatedly into the bloodied face of Bronson!! Bronson then falls backwards and leans against the chain link wall, and Jack has a look on his face…WAIT…WHAT IN THE BLUE HELL IS HE TRYING TO DO?!?!
Eve: HE HAS BRONSON BY HIS BRAIDS, AND HE LOOPS THEM THROUGH THE CHAIN LINKS, AND WHAT THE–HE JUST TIED BRON’S BRAIDS TOGETHER THOUGH THE LINKS! BRONSON IS STUCK! :neutral_face:
Deadprez: Bronson is screaming trying to untangle himself, but Jack Ripley has a smile on his face now! BUT ANDREA TURNS JACK AROUND!!

Eve: BUT IT SENT ANDREA BACK INSIDE THE RING!! Jack doesn’t seem to care though as he picks up his railroad spike right next to his foot on the steel ground, and Bronson is panicking trying to kick Jack away from him!
Deadprez: JON ROLLS FROM THE STEEL UNDERNEATH THE BOTTOM ROPE BACK INSIDE THE RING, AND HE BEGINS TO STALK ANDREA WHO IS TRYING TO RECOVER FROM THE “YOU’LL FLOAT TOO”!!! JON IS LIKE A SHARK THAT SMELLS BLOOD IN THE WATER!! **SPOILER ALERTTTTTT!!!!** JON CONNECTS WITH THE SKULL CRUSHING FINALE!! HE HOOKS THE LEG! HE’S GONNA ELIMINATE ANDREA!!
OOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

Eve: ANDREA VALENTINE KICKS OUT!!
Gavin Kirkland: MY QUEEN DOES IT AGAIN!! Kelton has a look of disbelief! BUT LOOK ON THE OUTSIDE, JACK IS JUST TOYING WITH BRONSON! JACK HAS THAT RAILROAD SPIKE–
Deadprez: WOW! BRONSON USES HIS FEET AND KICKS THE SPIKE HIGH IN THE AIR AND IT GOES TO THE OTHER END OF THE CHAMBER!!! JACK LOOKS ANNOYED AS BRONSON LOOKS A BIT RELIEVED!
Eve: BUT JACK GRABS ANDREA’S HARLEY QUINN HAMMER AND BRONSON’S FACE GOES FROM RELIEVED TO FEARFUL AGAIN AS HE TRIED TO FIGHT JACK OFF! BUT JACK HITS BRONSON WITH THE BARBED WIRE HAMMER IN THE FRONT OF THE KNEECAP!! BRONSON BEGINS TO SCREAM AS HIS KNEE MIGHT BE SHATTERED FROM THAT, AND JACK ISN’T DONE! I THINK JACK IS GOING FOR A HEADSHOT! AND BRONSON KNOWS THERE’S NOTHING HE CAN DO TO STOP IT AS HIS HAIR IS TIED UP INSIDE THE CHAMBER! AND THEN–

Deadprez: Andrea looking to eliminate Jack the same way she won her previous two Chamber matches, but choking the life out of her opponents! Jack seems to be fading here as that saw blade is just digging into his throat!! :lupe: JACK MAY BE OUT HERE!!!

Jon Kelton: (no mic) Only I use this, bitch.
*BUZZ*
Eve: Lucas Johnson is here! He steps out of the pod with his barbed wire baseball bat, and Jon Kelton is the only one standing with bodies laying around him, and Jon is daring Lucas to step foot into the ring. Lucas seems hesitant to step into the ring at this second though.
Jon Kelton: (no mic) Let’s go you little bitch. You don’t deserve to be here anyway. I sent you with an L to get here and you shoulda been eliminated in that battle royal earlier tonight!
Deadprez: BUT BRONSON DANIELS USES HIS DILDO WEAPON AND THROWS IT AT THE BACK OF THE HEAD OF JON!
Eve: LUCAS TAKES THAT DISTRACTION AND USES IT TO HIS ADVANTAGE AND STEPS INSIDE THE RING, BUT JON WAS STILL READY AND SWINGS!! BUT LUCAS AVOIDED IT AND BACKS UP, AND NOW LUCAS USES HIS BARBED WIRE BAT AND JAMS THE END OF IT INTO THE RIBS OF JON! AND THEN LUCAS WHIPS IT ACROSS THE BACK OF JON AND NOW KELTON DOWN! BUT LOOK!

Bronson Daniels: (no mic) I heard you love taking it up the ass by prolly that walrus. They always have said you need a fire lit under your ass too.
Eve: :krabs:
Deadprez: LOW BLOW FROM LUCAS JOHNSON!! We all know what was going through Bronson’s mind right there, and it wouldn’t have been a pretty sight. Jack is back up and Lucas Johnson has his sights on him.
Lucas Johnson: (no mic): BATTER UP!

Deadprez: Jamie O’Hara is slowly crawling underneath the bottom rope from the outside back inside, and he reaches for his barbed wire didgeridoo….but Lucas Johnson steps on Jamie’s hand as he reached for it, and he gives Jamie a head shake!

AND LOOK! JON NOW ASCENDS ONE LEVEL HIGHER UP THE POD!
Deadprez: BUT ANDREA ONCE AGAIN IS NOT LETTING JON DO ANYTHING! ANDREA RUNS UP THE CORNER AND THROWS RIGHT HANDS UP AT JON, AND JON LOOKS STUNNED!, AND ANDREA NOW DROPS DOWN FROM THE TOP ROPE AND PICKS UP THAT HARLEY QUINN HAMMER AND GOES BACK UP–AND SHE SMACKS JON ON THE TOP OF THE HEAD WITH IT AND TOSSES IT ASIDE!

OOOOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
Gina Romano: Lucas Johnson has been eliminated.
Eve: Lucas put up a valiant effort tonight, but he was just too outmatched and he joined the match too late. I think with more time to prepare and stuff, he would have had a better showing. Nothing to be ashamed of, he just needs to keep that attitude rolling he’s been showing since last month because it has worked for him!
Deadprez: One down, and five remain inside this match. It seems like Andrea didn’t appreciate Jamie finishing off Lucas when she was about to do it, and now she goes over and reaches through the middle rope, and grabs Jamie–BUT JAMIE OUT OF NOWHERE CONNECTS WITH A SHOT TO THE HEAD USING HIS WEAPON, THE DIDGERIDOO!!!!!! ANDREA STUMBLES BACK AND INTO THE ARMS OF JON KELTON–

Eve: Jon is just as shocked as we are. LOOK! Andrea’s bleeding now. That’s four out of six competitors bleeding from their face!
Deadprez: Kelton stands and he thinks of his next strategy here in this match, and Jon Kelton turns around–
Gavin Kirkland: **YOU’LL FLOAT TOOOOOOOO!!!!!!** BY JACK RIPLEY!!!!
Eve: NO!!! JON KELTON DUCKED IT AND HE RUNS OFF THE ROPES, AND NO JACK RUNS THE OPPOSITE ROPES AND BOTH LOOK LIKE THEY ARE ON A COLLISION COURSE–
Deadprez: **YOU’LL FLOAT TOOO!!!!!!** THIS TIME THE SUPERKICK CONNECTS RIGHT TO THE FACE OF JON!! JACK THEN FALLS ON TOP OF KELTON FOR THE PIN!!
OOOOONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
Gina Romano: Jon Kelton has been eliminated.
Eve: Jon has nothing to be ashamed of tonight. A great performance and a showing of why he should be the one to look out for on Saturday nights heading into the new year. Hr can use this experience as a positive! Future is nothing but bright for this young man, and I can’t wait to call more of his matches!
Deadprez: It is down to our final four here! Jack begins to approach Jamie who is trying to stir, and then Jamie pulls Jack by the arm and pulls him back and he goes shoulder first into the second turnbuckle, and Jamie begins to pull himself up, but on the other side of the ring, Andrea tries getting to her feet–BUT BRONSON LAUNCHES HIMSELF AND HAS THE ROLLUP ON ANDREA–BUT ANDREA ROLLS THROUGH IT UP TO HER FEET, AND SHE GOES FOR A SIDE KICK TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD OF BRONSON–BUT BRONSON DUCKS IT AND KICKS ANDREA IN HER BACK WITH BOTH OF HIS FEET!
Eve: ANDREA TURNS AND CHARGES AT BRONSON, AND BRONSON COUNTERS WITH A HIP TOSS AND NECKBREAKER COMBO!! BRONSON THEM CONNECTS WITH STANDING BOOM DROP ON TOP OF ANDREA’S CHEST! BRONSON HAS A SECOND WIND AGAIN AS HE STANDS UP AND LOOKS AT HIS SURROUNDINGS, AND HE CHARGES AT RIPLEY AND CONNECTS WITH A DROPKICK SENDING HIM OVER THE TOP TOP TO THE OUTSIDE ONCE MORE, AND HE RUNS AT JAMIE IN THE CORNER AND CONNECTS WITH A LEAPING SPLASH IN THE CORNER! BRONSON HAS THE MOMENTUM RIGHT NOW THIS LATE IN THE MATCH!! COULD YOU IMAGINE IF HE SOMEHOW MANAGED TO PULL THIS OFF?!
Deadprez: RIPLEY IS BACK UP AND HE LAUNCHES HIMSELF THROUGH THE SECOND ROPE AND CONNECT WITH A SPINNING TORNADO DDT ON BRONSON!!! ALL COMPETITORS ARE DOWN ONCE MORE AS JACK USES THE ROPES TO HELP PULL HIMSELF UP! JACK IS UP AND HE IS MEASURING BRONSON WHO IS OUT COLD! BRONSON MIGHT JUST BE TOO EXHAUSTED TO KEEP GOING ANY FURTHER!
Eve: YOOOUUULLLLL FFLLOOOAATTTTT TOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! BRONSON IS DONE!!
Deadprez: WAIT WHAT THE HELL!!! BRONSONS HAS THE FLAMETHROWER DILDO AND SHOOTS FIRE IN THE FACE OF JACK RIPLEY!!!
Eve: JACK IS HOLDING HIS FACE IN SERIOUS PAIN RIGHT NOW!!! BRONSON KNOWS THIS IS HIS OPPORTUNITY AS HE LICKS THE BLOOD OFF HIS FACE! BRONSON’S RUNS OFF THE ROPES–
Deadprez: PUNNNCCCHH AA BIITTTCCCCHHH FFAACCEEEE!!!!! THE SUPERMAN PUNCH ON JACK RIPLEY CONNECTS AND NOW BRONSON FALLS ON TOP FOR THE PIN!!
OOONNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTHHHHHHRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
…
Eve: JACK RIPLEY KICKS OUT ONCE AGAIN!!!!! OH MY LORD!!!
Deadprez: BRONSON IS ON ONE KNEE AS ANDRE COME SIN AND DELIVERS A RUNNING KNEE STRIKE TO THE FACE OF BRONSON!! JAMIE STUMBLES FORWARD NOW HAVING A TOUGH TIME WALKING ON THAT ANKLE, AND THEN ANDREA CONNECTS WITH A JUMPING REVERSE STO PLANTING JAMIE O’HARA FACE FIRST INTO THE CANVAS!! ANDREA IS THE ONLY ONE STANDING RIGHT NOW, AND SHE HAS HER EYES ON THE ACE, THE CURRENT ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION!
Andrea Valentine: (no mic) Hope you and everybody else are all ready to witness three straight chamber wins, and watch me become a two time World Champion.
Eve: ANDREA HOPS ON THE SHOULDERS OF JAMIE FROM THE BACK……AND…..**AAATTOMMICCC BLLOONNDDDEEEE!!!!** ANDREA SPIKES JAMIE’S HEAD INTO THE MAT AND JAMIE IS OUT COLD!!! ANDREA’S GONNA ELIMINATE JAMIE!
Deadprez: WHAT THE?!?!
Eve: HARLOW REICHERT!!!!! LOOK BEHIND YOU ANDREA!!!!!
(Harlow Reichert flips open the flap underneath the chamber, and she appears inside the structure.)
Deadprez: ANDREA TURNS AROUND……AND “LES MISERABLES” CONNECTS FROM HARLOW!! THE RUNNING KNEE TAKES OUT ANDREA!!!! HARLOW PAYING BACK ANDREA FROM ANDREA SCREWING HER IN THE SPECIALISTS CHAMBER EARLIER WHEN IT CAN BE A SAFE BET THAT HARLOW HAD THE TITLE WON!!!
(Harlow gives Andrea a cold stare as she stares down at her lifeless body, and then Harlow slowly makes her way out of the structure the way she entered.)
Eve: WOW!! ANDREA IS DOWN ALONG WITH THE OTHERS! SOME CAN SAY SHE HAD JAMIE DONE AND COOKED RIGHT THERE! LOOK!!!!!
Deadprez: BRONSON DANIELS FLIES OFF THE TOP ROPE!!! **FLYING BRONSONS!!!!!** THE BOOM DROP ON ANDREA!! HE HOOKS THE LEG!!!!!
OOONNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
…
…..
Gina Romano: Andrea Valentine has been eliminated!
Gavin Kirkland: :sob: :sob: :sob:
Deadprez: In all honesty, Andrea has nobody to blame but herself for that, because she got involved in Harlow’s business earlier, so it was only fair.
Eve: Still an amazing performance nonetheless even if she didn’t get the win. You just know this issue between Harlow and Andrea is starting to boil!
Deadprez: WE’RE DOWN TO THREE!
Eve: All three men are in separate parts of the ring, and all are trying to stir and make their way up, and Bronson is up first. Jamie is on both of his feet in the center of the ring, and then Bronson runs and hops off Jamie’s back and launches himself at Jack in the corner and connects with a leaping splash!! BRONSON NOW–
Deadprez: BRONSON PICKS UP THE BARBED WIRE BAT…..AND HE IS SAWING THE BACK OF JAMIE O’HARA!!!! HE GOING UP AND DOWN JAMIE’S SKIN SLICING IT!!! :damn:!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: THIS GUY IS SICK AS SHIT!! This is the same guy who actually thought of bringing back Cac DeMarco in some capacity, weapon or not.
Eve: BRONSON CAN FEEL VICTORY! IMAGINE IF HE CAN PULL THIS OFF, IT’S NOT THAT IMPOSSIBLE AS BOTH MEN ARE EXTREMELY WEAKENED! HE IS MEASURING JAMIE AND–
Eve: BBIIITTTCCCHHHH III KNOOCCCKKEEDDD YOURRRR HEEADDDD OFFFFF!!!!! THAT ELBOW CONNECTED BEAUTIFULLY!!!! AND BRONSON DANIELS CRAWLS TO JAMIE, AND HE TRIES TO GO FOR THE COVER, AND HE FINALLY DOES!!! BRONSON IS GOING TO DO IT!!! HE’S GOING TO GUARANTEE AN NEW CHAMPION RIGHT NOW!!!!!!
OOONNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTTWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTHHHHHHRRRREEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
…
…..
Deadprez: AND JAMIE KICKS OUT AGAIN!!!!!! WHAT KIND OF FUCKIGN STEROIDS IS HE TAKING TONIGHT?!?!
Eve: BRONSON LITERALLY CAN’T BELIEVE IT AS HE HOLDS HIS HEAD IN FRUSTRATION! And now Bronson gets up and looks to end Jamie, and he picks up Jamie by the head, and Jamie is almost like dead weight at this point! BUT JAMIE OUT OF NOWHERE PUSHES BRONSON AWAY FROM HIM OUT OF PURE INSTINCT, AND–
Deadprez: HE PUSHED HIM INTO THE DIRECTION OF JACK RIPLEY! **YOU;LL FLOAT TOO!!!** TO THE BACK OF BRONSON’S HEAD!!!! BRONSON IS STUNNED RIGHT HERE!
Deadprez: JAMIE WITH ALL THE BIT OF ENERGY HE LAS LEFT…..**INNNN EXXCCEELLISSSSSS!!!!!** THE RUNNING BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE TAKES DOWN BRONSON DANIELS!!! JAMIE IS SLOW TO GET TO THE COVER….AND HE FINALLY GETS AN ARM OVER THE CHEST OF BRONSON!
OOONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHHRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
….
…..
……
Gina Romano: Bronson Daniels has been eliminated!
(Bronson kicks out a half a second after the three count.)
Eve: Oh my gosh, wow! He was JUST too late on kicking out of that! What an amazing performance by this young man. I will admit myself I didn’t expect much out of him, but he went toe to toe with some of the greats in this business and had a great opportunity to win. He should be proud of the work he put in and his performance here tonight. Another one where the future is so fucking bright on Showdown!
Deadprez: AND THEN THERE WERE TWO! :lupe:
Eve: Both men are down, and both men are exhausted, and now Jack begins to stir, and he knows this is his chance here! All the heartbreak, and all the setbacks he can make it worth it if he can defeat Jamie right now and avenge that loss back at Midsummer Massacre earlier this summer!
Deadprez: JACK IS MEASURING JAMIE AS JAMIE IS STILL COMPLETELY EXHAUSTED AND HURT, AND NOW JAMIE STANDS ON HIS HURT ANKLE AND TURNS AROUND–AND JACK RIPLEY CHARGES AT HIM, BUT JAMIE SIDESTEPS AND JACK HITS THE CORNER CHEST FIRST, AND THE JAMIE ROLLS UP JACK!!
OOOOONNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTTWWWWOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Eve: KICKOUT!! AND NOW BOTH MEN RACE TO THEIR FEET, AND JACK GOES FOR THE BACK BODY DROP, BUT JAMIE SOMEHOW MANAGED TO LAND ON HIS FEET BEHIND JACK…AND THEN JAMIE GRABS AHOLD OF BOTH OF JACK’S ARMS!! WE KNOW WHAT HE’S GOING FOR HERE! JAMIE IS GOING FOR “STARDUST BREAKER”!!!!!
Deadprez: BUT JACK CAUGHT THE LEG AND CONNECTS WITH A DRAGON SCREW SENDING JAMIE ACROSS THE RING! JAMIE PULLS HIMSELF UP IN THE CORNER AND JACK CHARGES FOR THE SPLASH IN THE CORNER–BUT JAMIE GETS HIS BOOT UP STOPPING JACK IN HIS TRACKS!!! JAMIE HOPS UP ON THE SECOND TURNBUCKLE, AND THEN LAUNCHES HIMSELF AND CONNECTS WITH A KNEE TO THE FACE OF JACK DROPPING JACK DOWN TO A KNEE! JAMIE IS EXHAUSTED, BUT MAYBE HE’S FINDING HIS SECOND WIND HERE!
Gavin Kirkland: COME ON MY ACE!!!
Eve: JAMIE RUNS THE ROPES AND GOES FOR IN **IN EXCELSIS**–
Deadprez: BUT JACK OUT OF DESPERATION HITS THE CHOP BLOCK TO THE HURT KNEE CAP OF JAMIE O’HARA!! NOW IT’S JACK WHO HAS THE ADVANTAGE! WHO WANTS IT MORE?!
Eve: JACK PICKS UP JAMIE, AND SETS HIM UP! HE’S GOING FOR “RIPPLE EFFECT”!!!!
Deadprez: BUT JAMIE TWIRLS OUT OF IT AND DELIVERS A RUNNING HIGH KNEE STRIKE TO THE BRIDGE OF JACK’S NOSE!! JACK FALLS BACKWARDS AND BOUNCES OFF THE ROPE AND LEANS FORWARD TO JAMIE…AND JAMIE HAS HIM IN A BELLY TO BACK SUPLEX SPOT….AND JAMIE SPIKES JACK ON THE HEAD WITH “**VISUAL IDENTITY!!!!!**”
Eve: Jamie doesn’t go for the cover though, as he makes his way to the corner and begins to climb up the top rope, very gingerly. I hope Jamie knows the risk he is taking here.
Gavin Kirkland: He’s a chamber pro, don’t worry! :lupe:
**GGEEENNKKIIIII CCAANNNNNOOONNNN!!!!!!!**
Deadprez: RIGHT INTO THE HEART OF JACK RIPLEY!!!! JAMIE O’HARA NOW GOES FOR THE COVER! THE SAME WAY HE RETAINED THE TITLE BACK AT MIDSUMMER MASSACRE AGAINST JACK!
OOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
….
……..
……….
…….
Eve: HOW?!?!?!
Deadprez: JACK RIPLEY GOT THE SHOULDER UP!!!!!!
Eve: AND NOW JAMIE THINKS OF WHAT NEXT TO DO, AS THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN HIS BEST SHOT THERE CONSIDERING HIS CONDITION! AND JAMIE DRAGS JACK UP BY THE HEAD–
Deadprez: JACK OUT OF NOWHERE…..**YYOOUUULLLL FFLLOOAATTTT TOOOOOO!!!!!!** JACK SLAPPED JAMIE’S HANDS AWAY AND FINALLY HIT THE SUPERKICK!!! JACK THROWS HIS ARM ON JAMIE’S CHEST!!! IT’S OVER!! IT’S OVER!! NEW CHAMPION!!!!!
OOONNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
TTTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
….

…
…
…..
Gavin Kirkland: MY ACE!!! :blessed: KICKOUT BY THE ACE BABY!! HE STAYS ALIVE!
Eve: I AM AT A LOSS FOR WORDS!!! ANY NORMAL HUMAN BEING GOES OUT A LONG TIME AGO, BUT JAMIE JUST ISN’T HUMAN! NOW WHAT DOES JACK DO FROM HERE?!?!
Deadprez: BOTH MEN CRAWL AWAY FROM ONE ANOTHER AFTER SEVERAL SECONDS OF NO MOVEMENT FROM THE OTHER, AND BOTH PULL EACH OTHER UP WITH THE ROPES ON OPPOSITE ENDS OF THE RING FROM ONE ANOTHER!
Eve: JAMIE IS UP A TAD BIT FIRST, AND NOW JAMIE O’HARA CHARGES!!!!!–
Deadprez: OH MY FUCKING GOD!!! **IN EXCELSISSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!** THE RUNNING KNEE ONE LAST TIME!!!
Eve: WHAT?!!?!
Deadprez: JACK RIPLEY OUT OF NOWHERE JUST STABBED JAMIE IN THE ARM WITH HIS RAILROAD SPIKE WEAPON HE JUST PICKED UP!!!
**YYYOOUUUUU’’LLLLLLL FFFLLOOAAATTTTT TTOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!**
Eve: JACK HITS IT AGAIN! JACK RIPLEY HIT IT AGAIN!!! IS THIS GOING TO DO IT?!?! IS JACK RIPLEY FINALLY GONNA DO THE IMPOSSIBLE?!?!?!

(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
(“BxMxC” by BABYMETAL hits as the Chamber begins to rise, and Jack lays exhausted with his arm on Jamie’s chest. The referee ready to award him the EAW Championship and raise his hand.)
Gina Romano: HERE IS YOUR WINNER…AND NNNNEEEEWWWWWW EAW ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION……..JJJAAAAACCCCKKKK RRRIIPPPLLEEEEYYYYY!!!!!!!
(Jack Ripley stands finally, beaten and battered, and bleeding from his forehead, and he gets his hand raised as he drops to both knees. The referee presents him with the Answers World Championship, and Jack can’t believe it’s real in front of him, even shedding a tear.)
(Jack Ripley finally slowly grabs the championship, and then raises it to his forehead as he is overtaken with emotion.)
Eve: WHAT A MOMENT! Jack Ripley finally did it! Jack Ripley is finally World Champion! He fucking earned this here tonight with the hell he went through!
Deadprez: Don’t take away the hell Jamie went through. He started this match and took as much punishment as I’ve ever seen, and it took going to hell and back to take the title away from him.
Eve: But tonight, it was Jack Ripley’s night. And tonight, Jack is finally a World Champion! Congratulations!
(The final shot is of Jack on the top rope raising the Answers World Championship celebrating his win as it fades to a commercial for the NEW Myles and Minerva tell all book, “How to have a Year Long Relationship In EAW and not “Terry” It!” )
(As it fades back from the commercial break, Hurricane Hawk sits in his office, a knock at the door interrupting his train of thought. He looks towards the door, surprised that for once someone is actually knocking before coming in.)
Hurricane Hawk: Unless you are Ronan Malosi, please come in.
(The door opens, and to a raucous noise from the arena, Amir Yusef walks into the office, but for once doesn’t wear his usual smile.)
Hurricane Hawk: Hey Amir, glad you found time to come see me.
Amir Yusuf: Well, it’s not like I’m doing anything else is it?
(Hawk sees the look on Amir’s face, understanding the way that he is feeling right now. He is obviously taking the loss to Jon Kelton to heart, and struggling to deal with the defeat.)
Hurricane Hawk: Take a seat Amir, there’s something that needs to be said.
(Amir does as he is told, and pulls up a chair, sitting in front of the desk.)
Hurricane Hawk: Amir, I don’t think you understand just what you have achieved over the past few months. You came in like a house on fire, and refused to be ignored, and not many have taken this company by storm in the way you have. Becoming the New Breed champion in such a short space of time was quite the feat, but then going on to defend it with the honour and respect that you have. Well, it shows me, and many others watching you that you are going to be a huge part of this company’s future.
(Amir nods, understanding what Hawk is saying, even if it doesn’t really help.)
Amir Yusuf: That’s nice of you to say, but that championship… I let myself down last week. I mean, I’m happy for Kelton, he deserved it, of course he did, but I shouldn’t have lost. I believe I’m better than him…
(Hawk interrupts, holding up his hand.)
Hurricane Hawk: And perhaps that’s the way you should be thinking Amir. Maybe you are better than Jon Kelton, maybe not. But the point is, on any given night, on this competitive roster, anyone can be beaten. No one is immune, not even Kassidy. You drop your level just one percent, or you make just the slightest mistake and the talent this roster has, you are going to pay for it. But it certainly doesn’t mean it has to be the end. The very best, they learn, they put the defeat behind them, and they focus on the future. And they are proud of what they achieved. You’re friends with Adam Lucas, right?
(Amir nods.)
Hurricane Hawk: He lost at Reasonable Doubt, and I’ve no doubt that he stewed on it for a while just like you are doing right now. But then he focussed on what was to come… and now he’s in the Extreme Elimination Chamber at Road to Redemption and could become the Answers World Champion. Losing the New Breed Championship doesn’t have to define you, if you realize that all that means it you are ready for the next chance to shine.
(Amir thinks on Hurricane Hawk’s words for a while, digesting them, whilst at the same time knowing that his General Manager was right.)
Amir Yusuf: I know I can’t keep feeling sorry for myself… I’ll shake it off. It was just my very first title reign, it was hard to take.
Hurricane Hawk: But it doesn’t have to be your last
(Amir lowers his eyes to the desk.)
Amir Yusuf: I’m sorry.
(Again, Hawk holds up his hand and shakes his head, dismissing the apology.)
Hurricane Hawk: Amir, you’re not the first to dwell on a result, and it certainly won’t be the last. Just know that here on Showdown and on a wider scale, the EAW, you’re being noticed not only for your ability, but for the way you conduct yourself. It’s an exciting time to be a fan of EAW with some of the next generation of talent coming through and you are a massive part of that. And moving on to the reason we are here… for you Amir, as one door closes, another opens…
(Amir raises an eyebrow.)
Amir Yusuf: Yeah?
Hurricane Hawk: That’s right, and because you won’t now be on Road to Redemption, I have a spot for you in a VERY special match when the EAW travels to Australia the following week.
(Amir leans forward a little, obviously intrigued by what Hawk has to say.)
Hurricane Hawk: On that night, all three brands chose a representative to take part in a Triple Threat Match for supremacy in EAW. Amir… I want you to represent EAW in that match. That’s how much I believe in you. That’s how much you should believe in yourself.
Amir Yusuf: Damn, that’s huge.
Hurricane Hawk: You did it before in the brand warfare match at Territorial Invasion, and now I want you to do it again, this time standing alone.
(Hawk revels in the look now on Amir’s face, excitement having replaced the disappointment from only moments before.)
Hurricane Hawk: You reckon you can get it done Amir?
Amir Yusuf: I won’t let you down Hawk.
Hurricane Hawk: That’s exactly what I wanted to hear.
(Amir gets to his feet and holds out his hand, Hawk shaking it with a smile)
Amir Yusuf: That you Hawk. Seriously, you don’t know what this means to me
(Hawk laughs and withdraws his hand.)
Hurricane Hawk: You know what Amir? Actually, I think I do.
(Amir nods his appreciation and turns heading out the door. Hawk watches him leave with a smile on his face. Getting Amir back on track, a job well done.)
Hurricane Hawk: If only the rest of the roster were like him.
(Hawk goes back to his week, as the scene cuts to a video with Mikaela Street.)
(SCREEN BAR – EAW HEADQUARTERS EARLIER THIS WEEK)
(As the Camera pans to the desk of Mikaela Street at EAW Headquarters, wearing her button up shirt with suspenders, bow tie and sporting her reading glasses, she looks extremely excited and ready to talk about Showdown’s participation at Road to Redemption in this pre-recorded segment…)
Mikaela Street: Hi everyone! I hope you really enjoyed my interview with Harper Lee, the woman who could become the Specialists Champion in just a week’s time and bring home the gold to Showdown! Now, with Road to Redemption here, I am here to give a quick in depth narrative and view on all the big matches that involve Showdown and let’s get right off with Ronan Malosi and Voltage’s own, Donovan Duke for the 24/7 Contract, that is definitely a match no one expected to see, but during the Brand talent exchange, Donovan came to be a guest of Hurricane Hawk’s, with the intention to compete the following week, but the tension has been building between the General Manager and Ronan Malosi after he was forced to wrestle Jon Kelton at Reasonable Doubt with an “injury” to his nose that brought out lawyers and became a full mess, but Donovan Duke stepped right in and put the 24/7 Contract on the line, Ronan dropped the lawsuit and now these two will face in what could be a show Stealer! The first half of Season 15 has been successful for Ronan after falling short at Midsummer Massacre and since then he has been on a tear. As for Donovan Duke? His wars with New Eden on the Yellow Brand are notable and will he be in the right mindset? We shall see.
(Mikaela adjusts her glasses before continuing to speak….)
Mikaela: I had a really good interview with Harper Lee, and I can say that I have never seen her more focused than now. Miku Sakai shocked the world defeating Dr. Bethany Blue who has gone on to be one of the top stars on Dynasty after the loss at Territorial Invasion, though Harper has had some tough defeats, the one thing that she has done is bounce back from every setback and now has found herself in a position to get the Specialist Championship and it is her turn. Can Miku again pull one out of her hat? Or will this be the Era of Harper Lee? Tune in and See! But does it stop there!? Oh no for newly crowned New Breed Champion will face Jay Jerry Johnson and after one of Jon’s biggest wins in his career, he will now defend the title for the first time and with a revigorated Jon Kelton, we all know his talent and what he can do in the ring! Jay Jerry Johnson is one tough individual and exemplifies the New Breed Division, but not if Jon Kelton has anything to say about it!
(A small picture now shows of Cameron Ella Ava and Myles.)
Mikaela Street: Okay, let’s talk about a legendary match, the Cash In The Vault winner and member of New Eden, arguably the greatest faction to ever step foot in the EAW and definitely in professional wrestling today against a Hall of Famer in Cameron who has won the Extreme Elimination Chamber to become an Answers World Champion. She has been at the top of her game since returning and she is ready to take the next step in climb back to the top, but she will need to wrestle a man who had an open challenge and she accepted, Myles is dangerous, talented and a future World Champion! Can Cameron stop New Eden!? Tune in and watch Road to Redemption this Saturday and Sunday December 11th and 12th, but that only then leads to a very determined and even deranged Sierra who stepped right into Showdown, took out the original challenger in Lethal Weapon and then attacked Limmy Monaghan who recently won the Hardcore Championship from Adam Lucas, in a bloody match that almost saw Adam lose his life, but Limmy has vowed that he was going to carry this championship to new heights and who is going to stop him from doing that? Sierra stirred up a Hornets next, but she is extremely dangerous and unstable, many fear this could be the end of a very short Championship reign, but I have talked to Limmy, and he is focused and wrestling the best he ever has! Which now only leaves one match…. That is right…. The Answers World Championship Extreme Elimination Chamber!”
(Again, adjusting her glasses as a visual of the Extreme Elimination Chamber is shown.)
Mikaela Street: Finally! We have the huge Extreme Elimination Chamber for the Answers World Championship and top to bottom it is the biggest star-studded match on the entire card and no disrespected to Voltage and Dynasty but where else will you find a match with FIVE World Champions and a man who defeated Mr. DEDEDE at Pain for Pride! Kassidy Heart knows her back is to the wall, we have seen how she’s been acting lately, and it is not the same exuberant and confident Kassidy that we have seen in the past. This could be her last stand, this could be the end of her reign, or this could be the continuation of the greatest run by anyone in the EAW within the last year. Impact is looking for ten reigns. Theron Nikolas hasn’t forgotten what happened at Reasonable Doubt. Charlie Marr with another lifeline has shown how dominant he can be in the Chamber almost eliminating the entire field back in 2019. TLA won the Chamber and became the World Heavyweight Champion! Finally, Adam Lucas has put a rocket on his back and is shooting himself up to the moon defeating some of the best!
(She catches her breath….)
Mikaela: THAT is a lot to say in one breath but so well worth it! The stories that will be told, the action is hot and heavy and what will the fall out be for the Blue Brand come 2022!? And do not forget that the Aussie Christmas Special is the following week where we will see more Showdown stars in action! Do not forget to tune in and enjoy the rest of the show! Just remember, Mikaela Knows Best!
(With a cute smile, she waves as the camera fades to a ringside and the Main Event!)
(The camera cuts to Gina Romano in the ring.)
Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR…ONE FALL!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!
(‘Act a Fool ‘ by Ludacris plays out Jonny Airhart, who looks focused in his stride to the ring.)
Gina Romano: Introducing first! Hailing out of Atherton, California, weighing in at 205 pounds…THE UNO CHAMP KID…JONNY AIRHART!!
Gavin Kirkland: Look at Jonny Airhart, looking focused, looking great, no doubt he’s gonna crush this fool tonight!
Eve: You might be right as Jonny could use this focus to translate a win, God knows he needs it if he wants to really be noticed here on Showdown.
Deadprez: Jonny’s shown the potential to be a star in the past, and if he can really tap into said potential, scoring wins should no problem.
(‘Act a Fool’ is cut off by the music of Kirk Redwood in ‘Bad Man’ by Blues Saraceno. Kirk looks equally focused, flashing his knuckles with the name ‘Airhart’ on them, striking some momentational fear in Jonny, who continues to try and put on a brave face.)
Gina Romano: And his opponent! Hailing out of Boston, Massachusetts, weighing in at 210 pounds…HE IS THE UNKILLABLE..KIRK REDWOOD!!
Eve: Pardon me, but was that a look of fear on the face of Airhart?
Gavin Kirkland: Fear? Jonny Airhart fears no man!
Deadprez: Hey, I’d be a bit scared myself going up against Kirk, who’s a bad, bad dude, man. This guy loves to step in that ring, and fight, so I’m sure he’s gonna bring it to Jonny, who’ll find out that this is no cake walk.
(Redwood eyes down Airhart from the opposite corner as the referee signals for the bell.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Eve: There’s the bell, and- oh, looks as if Airhart’s gonna immediately head to the outside, perhaps trying to dictate the terms, and the pace of this matchup from the get-go. However, this seems to annoy Kirk Redwood, who encourages him to step back into the ring, which Airhart soon does, albeit at a methodical pace before locking up with Redwood in the center. Kirk getting the early advantage through backing Jonny up against the corner, but Airhart grabs a handful of hair, using it as leverage to switch the momentum, and pin Redwood up against the corner himself, and the referee’s just gonna have to get involved here.
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FO-
Deadprez: Oh, Jonny breaks away from Redwood- OR SO WE THOUGHT AS JONNY CAUGHT HIM WITH A SWIFT CHEAP SHOT IN THAT CORNER, BUT IT ONLY SEEMED TO FIRE UP REDWOOD, WHO DOUBLE LEGS HIM DOWN TO THE CENTER OF THE RING, MOVING INTO HALF GUARD, CONNECTING WITH PUNCHES TO THE COVERING UP AIRHART, WHO MANAGES TO PUSH REDWOOD OFF WITH HIS FREE FOOT, ALLOWING BOTH MEN TO SCRAMBLE BACK TO THEIR FEET! REDWOOD DUCKS A CLOTHESLINE, ALLOWING HIM TO DUMP JONNY ON THE BACK OF HIS HEAD WITH A GERMAN!
Eve: Jonny is clutching at said back of his head, certainly feeling the effects of that German as he gets up to one knee, ONLY TO GET KNOCKED RIGHT BACK DOWN TO THE MAT WITH A RUNNING KNEE TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD FROM KIRK, WHO MOVES INTO A COVER!
ONNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Eve: Immediate kickout after two, but being so early on in this match, you can just tell how much of a number that knee did on Airhart, who’s probably gonna have a hard time bouncing back from this flurry of offense by Redwood. However, as of right now, Jonny uses the ropes to help get back to his feet, but Redwood cuts him off at a knee, landing hard blows to the head before trying to set Airhart up for an exploder Suplex, but ever the resourceful, Airhart uses his free hand to grab on to the top rope, a back elbow from Jonny creating slight space between these two, staggering Kirk back.
Deadprez: Airhart grabs ahold of his head, BUT REDWOOD BREAKS FREE WITH A STRONG FOREARM SMASH! Airhart goes down to a kneel, meanwhile, Redwood runs off the ropes, going for that running knee strike for a second time, BUT JONNY EVADES IT, pulling Kirk back in the rear waistband of his gear for a back Suplex! Redwood jolts up to a seated position, grabbing at the back of his neck, but THERES AIRHART WITH A BOOT TO THE SIDE OF HIS HEAD!
Gavin Kirkland: About time Jonny starts to gain an advantage here on this homeless man.
Eve: Jonny stands him back up for a slam face-first to the top turnbuckle, now landing kicks to the midsection of Kirk, who sinks down in that corner for Jonny to press his boot into the side of his face, sending Kirk out through the bottom rope. Redwood catches himself on all fours, but Airhart is out there to send him back first into the barricade! Redwood hitting horizontally, we’re really starting to see a more aggressive side of Jonny here.
Deadprez: Perhaps because he wants to prove his worth, I mean, some still do doubt Hurricane Hawk’s decision making on the trade to get him here, Jonny’s clearly taken some offense to that, and if that is gonna be what lights a fire under his ass, then so be it, because that can equal some success here for Jonny if so.
Eve: You’re right about that as now Airhart rolls Redwood back into the ring, hooking the leg for a cover!
ONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWW-
Deadprez: Early kickout there by Redwood, who still has tons of fight left in him, but I’m sure Jonny doesn’t mind beating it out as he stands him back up. BUT THERES REDWOOD WITH A SHOT TO THE BODY, FOLLOWING THAT UP WITH A FEW FOREARMS TO THE FACE! BUT THERES A RAKE OF THE EYES FROM JONNY, WHO DROPS KIRK WITH A SUPLEX! And now Jonny just gonna drive his knee into the back for a rear chinlock, really wearing down Kirk, and halting any chance he has of building momentum right now.
Eve: But here’s Redwood slowly prying the grip of Airhart apart, OOH! BELL CLAP FROM AIRHART! Nice ingenuity on his end, realizing the opponent was gonna get out.
Gavin Kirkland: Fuck his ingenuity, that scared the shit outta me while I was trying to daydream about Andrea Valentine naked! :mjlit:
Eve: :francis:
Deadprez: Anywho…Jonny sends Redwood off the ropes, BUT HE SPRINGS UP ON THE MIDDLE ONE! HOWEVER, BEFORE HE CAN LEAP OFF, JONNY IS THERE TO SHOVE HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE, AND TO THE OUTSIDE, THE BACK OF REDWOOD HITTING THE APRON ON HIS WAY DOWN! But instead of capitalizing, Jonny’s just taking this time to gloat in the ring, which may come back to bite him as he’s now gonna head to the outside, rolling Redwood back in. BUT AS SOON AS JONNY STUCK HIS HEAD THROUGH THE MIDDLE TO ENTER, REDWOOD CAUGHT HIM WITH A BIG PENALTY KICK TO THE FACE!
Eve: AND NOW KIRK PULLS HIM IN WITH AN EXPLODER SUPLEX, AIRHART WENT HALFWAY ACROSS THE RING, NOW ATTEMPTING TO PULL HIMSELF BACK UP IN THE CORNER, FAVORING THAT BACK! KIRK CHARGES AIRHART, ONLY FOR HIM TO SIDESTEP, CAUSING KIRK TO GO STERNUM FIRST INTO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE, STAGGERING HIM BACK LONG ENOUGH FOR AIRHART TO COME CRASHING DOWN ON HIM WITH A SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT FROM THAT CORNER, HOOKING THE LEGS OF REDWOOD THAT GO FLYING UP!
ONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHH-
Deadprez: AND A KICKOUT BY REDWOOD! The frustration of Jonny Airhart truly starting to set in now as he pounds down on the mat. But what he needs to do is reset focus back on Redwood, who gets up to a knee. Jonny is there to cut him off, grounding Redwood once again with a side headlock.
Eve: I’ve gotta give Jonny credit here, he’s really been bringing the fight to Kirk, practically dominating this whole match through, cutting off any attempts at a comeback each time.
Deadprez: But how long can he continue to do so as Kirk fights back to a vertical base, THROWING BACK ELBOWS TO THE ABDOMEN OF AIRHART, WHO HAS NO CHOICE BUT TO RELEASE HIS GRIP! KIRK LOOKS TO RUN OFF THE ROPES IN FRONT, BUT AGAIN, JONNY HALTS THE MOMENTUM WITH A MAT SLAM, HAVING A HANDFUL OF HAIR! AND AS HE DIPS TO STAND REDWOOD BACK UP, HE GETS CAUGHT IN A VICTORY ROLL!
ONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Eve: JONNY ABLE TO KICKOUT AS BOTH RUSH BACK TO THEIR FEET- HEADBUTT!! HEADBUTT FROM KIRK PUTS JONNY ON WOBBLY LEGS AS HE STUMBLES BACK INTO THE CORNER, ALLOWING REDWOOD TO CHARGE IN WITH A CLOTHESLINE, AND ANOTHER…AND ANOTHER!! AND REDWOOD WITH A SAITO SUPLEX TO JONNY OUT OF THE CORNER! AIRHART LOOKS GLOSSED OVER AS HES UP TO A SEATED POSITION! REDWOOD TAKES ADVANTAGE, RUNNING OFF THE ROPES IN FRONT FOR A SEATED EUROPEAN UPPERCUT!
Deadprez: ROLLING JONNY TO ALL FOURS, REDWOOD PULLS HIM UP WITH BOTH ARMS HOOKED…DRAGON SUPLEX! KIRK BRIDGES FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHRRRR-
Deadprez: KICKOUT! But Kirk isn’t deterred, just gonna stalk Jonny as he slowly yet surely gets back to his feet. KIRK HOISTS HIM UP ON HIS SHOULDER FOR WHAT MAY BE THE DOWN TO HELL TOMBSTONE! BUT AIRHART SLIPS OUT OF IT, COUNTERING WITH A FALLING INVERTED DDT! FOLLOWING THAT UP WITH A RUNNING SHOOTING STAR PRESS!! AND AIRHART SPRINGS OFF THE ROPES WITH A MOONSAULT- BUT REDWOOD GETS BOTH FEET UP, BLASTING JONNY BACK TO THE ROPES!
Eve: REDWOOD RUNS IN, BUT JONNY’S THE ONE GETTING THE BOOT UP THIS TIME! TURNING KIRK AROUND LONG ENOUGH FOR AIRHART TO DROP HIM WITH A RIPCORD LARIAT! KIRK GOT TURNT INSIDE OUT AS JONNY MOVES INTO THE COVER, HOOKING BOTH LEGS!
ONNNNEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHRRRREEEE-
Eve: KICKOUT!
Gavin Kirkland: Can this son of a bitch lose already?!
Eve: I don’t think Redwood has any plans of that right now, but he may have no choice as Airhart goes to scale the top rope, BUT REDWOOD GRABS HIS ANKLE, PREVENTING HIM FROM DO SO, AND KIRK PUTS JONNY IN THE ANKLE LOCK! HOWEVER, AIRHART’S LUCKY TO HAVE GOTTEN HIMSELF HALFWAY OUT THE RING IN ROUTE TO THE TOP ROPE, CAUSE REDWOOD HAS TIL THE COUNT OF FIVE TO RELEASE THE HOLD!
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FI-
Deadprez: JONNY JUST DROPPED HIMSELF OFF THE APRON, FALLING BACK FIRST ON THE FLOOR, BUT IM NOT SURE HE HAD THE WORST OF IT AS REDWOOD JUST WENT THROAT FIRST INTO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! VERY CRAFTY ON AIRHART’S END TO ESCAPE AS HE SLIDES BACK IN THE RING! A DOUBLE OVER WINDGATE LIES IN THE MIDDLE AS JONNY RUNS OFF THE ROPES FOR A FLIPPING NECKBREAKER! AIRHART DRAGS REDWOOD IN DROP ZONE DISTANCE NOW AS HE SUCCESSFULLY CLIMBS TO THE TOP ROPE! KIRK HASNT MOVED AN INCH, AND I THINK WERE GONNA SEE IT!
Eve: MAKING THE MO- NO! KIRK CROTCHES HIM ON THE TOP ROPE, CLIMBING UP TO THE MIDDLE ROPE HIMSELF NOW, GOING FOR A TOP
ROPE SUPERPLEX! BUT JONNY SLIPS OUT THROUGH THE LEGS OF KIRK, WHO GETS CROTCHED ON THE TOP ROPE HIMSELF NOW, BACK TO AIRHART, WHO PUTS HIM IN THE TREE OF WOE POSITION BEFORE EYEING HIM FROM THE OPPOSITE TURNBUCKLE!
Deadprez: JONNY HAS BIG PLANS HERE, CHARGING IN FOR A SLIDING DROPKICK TO THE FACE! BUT REDWOOD PULLS HIMSELF UP IN THE NICK OF TIME, CAUSING JONNY TO GO BALLS FIRST INTO THE RINGPOST!
Gavin Kirkland: Being on the receiving end of many shots to the groin area from women in my life, I know that had to hurt!
Eve: Why am I not surprised?
Gavin Kirkland: You were one of em. :mjcry:
Eve: :mjlol2: Anyways, Redwood brings the prone Airhart to the center of the ring with a double underhook…THAT GETS TURNED INTO A BUTTERFLY BRAINBUSTER! JONNY GETTING DUMPED RIGHT ON HIS HEAD WITH THE BRAINDEAD BUSTER! BUT BEFORE KIRK COULD GO FOR A COVER, JONNY BEGAN TO ROLL HIMSELF TO THE OUTSIDE, SHOWING SOME GREAT RING AWARENESS, BUT UNFORTUNATELY, IT DOESNT PAY OFF AS KIRK STOPPED HIM JUST SHORT OF THE ROPES FOR A COVER!
ONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHRRRRRREEEEEEEE-
Gavin Kirkland: FUCK! I KNEW WE SHOULDVE GOT SOMEONE BETTER TO REPRESENT US AGAINST VOLTAGE TONIGHT!
Eve: Uhhh, Gavin, the referee just saw that Jonny’s foot was under the bottom rope.
Gavin Kirkland: YES! I KNEW JONNY WOULDNT LET THIS CLOWN PIN HIM!
Eve: :usure:
Deadprez: Kirk waits as Jonny gets back to his feet in the middle of the ring, KIRK SPRINGS OFF THE MIDDLE ROPE, PRESUMABLY FOR THE .50 CAL!! BUT JONNY STOPS IT WITH A SUPERKICK! KIRK STAGGERS, AND IN TURNS, BOUNCES OFF THE ROPES- FOR A SUPERMAN PUNCH TO CONNECT! MODIFIED .50 CAL! BUT JONNY GOES TUMBLING OUT THE MIDDLE ROPE, AND IT LOOKS AS IF PUNCH KNOCKED HIM RIGHT OUT! HES NOT MOVING ON THE OUTSIDE! KIRK TAKES A MINUTE TO COLLECT HIMSELF BEFORE GOING OUT TO ROLL JONNY BACK INTO THE RING!
Eve: BUT HE SEEMS TO BE STRUGGLING AS ITS JUST DEAD WEIGHT AT THIS POINT! BUT HE FINALLY MANAGES TO GET AIRHART BACK INTO THE RING, AND ATTEMPTS TO GO IN HIMSELF THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE, BUT THERE’S JONNY WITH A KICK TO THE ROPE, CAUSING IT TO SHOOT STRAIGHT TO THE BALLS OF KIRK FOR A CRAFTY LOW BLOW! KIRK FALLS INTO THE RINGS, FEELING THE EFFECTS IN HIS GROIN AREA AS HE USES HIS FREE HAND TO USE THE ROPES TO PULL HIMSELF BACK UP!
Deadprez: BUT THERES AIRHART WITH THE CARD MAKER! JUMPING REVERSE BULLDOG CONNECTS, STACKING KIRK UP FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!
THHHHHHRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEE!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Gina Romano: HERES YOUR WINNER…JONNY AIRHART!!
(‘Act a Fool ‘ by Ludacris plays as a smug Airhart rises to get his hand raised by the referee, all while a chorus of boos are heard in the background.)
Gavin Kirkland: HE DID IT!
Eve: Yeah, whether ya like his methods or not, Jonny scores one for Showdown here against Kirk, who seemed to have the match won there.
Deadprez: There’s no seemed about it, he DID have the match won there, but Jonny just timed the perfect attack, stealing the win for himself.
Gavin Kirkland: STEAL?! HE DIDN’T STEAL ANYTHING! HE WON CLEAN AS A WHISTLE, NOW THIS VOLTAGE TRASH CAN GO BACK WHERE HE CAME FROM!
Deadprez: Jonny Airhart stole one here tonight! But now next week it is time for Road to Redemption! For Eve, Gavin Kirkland and the rest of the team here on Showdown….we will see you in Indianapolis for ROAD TO REDE…..
(Suddenly there is a commotion behind Deadprez, Eve and Gavin Kirkland, they turn as the crowd roars in boos, some cheer as Kassidy Heart jumps the guardrail! She was thrown out the building earlier, holding the Answers World Championship she slaps the headset off Gavin Kirkland who falls over his chair and to the floor….)
Deadprez: KASSIDY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?
(Reaching over she grabs a mic….)
Kassidy Heart: THIS SHOW ENDS WHEN I SAY IT ENDS! AND AS FOR YOU! TAKE THAT IS A LITTLE LESSON THE NEXT TIME YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT ME! Now excuse me for a moment, I need MY time that was rudely interrupted to start Showdown! You two just sit there and make sure this asswipe doesn;t get on his headset again!
(Grabbing the headset, she stomps on it with her boot, turning quickly and sliding into the ring while Jonny Airhart has absolutely no clue Kassidy made her appearance, he is still celebrating and taunting Kirk Redwood who is also down. Jonny turns around…..)
Deadprez: KASSIDY HEART JUST HIT JONNY AIRHART WITH THE MIC! HE JUST WRESTLED A GRUELING MATCH AND WHAT IS SHE DOING! SHE IS BITING THE FACE OF JONNY! HE IS SCREAMING AS SHE PUSHING HIM OFF AND SPITS A PIECE OF FLESH FROM HER MOUTH! THE BLOOD POURING ON TO HER WHITE BLOUSE!
(Jonny quickly rolls out off the ring covering his face as the referee goes to attend to him, Kirk Redwood gets up, turns… )
Eve: SPEAR BY KASSIDY HEART AND SHE JUST BROKE REDWOOD IN HALF! LOOK AT HER FACE! LOOK AT HER EYES! THAT IS A WOMAN FULL OF HATE AND DISGUST RIGHT NOW! SHE GRABS THE MIC….
Kassidy Heart: The first thing you are going to do is roll this Voltage piece of trash out of MY RING!
(The referee quickly grabs Redwood from the outside and helps him out of harm’s way. Kassidy starts to pace, the blood still dripping from her mouth and she at this point doesn’t care)
Kassidy Heart: Earlier tonight I was out here because I BROKE THE RECORD as the LONGEST Answers World Champion of all time! Not Jamie O’Hara, not Theron Nikolas but ME! I tried to be professional, stating my claim as the champion, but instead I was attacked and then thrown out of the building on the LAST Showdown of 2021!? No! This programming ends when I say it ends! A few weeks ago Hurricane Hawk started mouthing off the participants for the Chamber. Personally I don;t really care for any of them and each the reason why they do not belong in it with me, but there were two names in particular, Adam Lucas and Theron Nikolas! I….
(She stops mid sentence and turns to the announce team, hearing what they were saying to each other faintly. Gavin Kirkland is already up but Eve and Deadprez are still talking….)
Kassidy Heart: NO ONE IS ENDING THIS SHOW! I HEARD THAT PREZ! TIME TO GO OFF THE AIR, RIGHT!? NO! THERE ISN’T A DAMN SOUL THAT IS GOING TO TURN THIS OFF AND IF THE NETWORKS HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT, THEY CAN TAKE IT UP WITH ME RIGHT NOW!
(The crowd erupts in boos as Kassidy looks around, her eyes narrowing, then turning back as both Eve and Deadprez raise their arms, trying to diffuse the situation.)
Kassidy Heart: I WALKED RIGHT UP TO YOU HAWK AND IN YOUR FACE AND MADE SURE THAT YOU KNEW MY DISPLEASURE GIVING THESE MEN A CHANCE WHEN i ALREADY DEFEATED THEM, LIKE TLA! LIKE CHARLIE MARR! LIKE IMPACT! ALL OF THEM!
(She stops, but this time starts to talk in a very calm and methodical voice…)
Kassidy Heart: But you couldn’t help yourself. So, now, you want to start throwing around your power and kick me out of the building, me? Well, now I am holding your show hostage, we just watched two guys that should be nowhere near the Main Event wrestle here and look at them now.
(Medical staff are there checking on Jonny’s face. Redwood is being helped to the back by officials.)
Kassidy Heart: And I have all night to finish what I was going to say earlier and that is….
(But before Kassidy Heart could finish, Hurricane Hawk comes out, with mic in hand shaking his head…)
Hurricane Hawk: What the hell are you doing Kassidy?
Kassidy Heart: Taking back my rightful time as Champion to speak. I get it Hawk, you want this title off me, you need this title off me before the internet smarks start turning on this Brand and your ratings go down because they are going to get bored watching me win every single time I step into these ropes while holding the Answers World Championship. Go ahead and admit it.
Hurricane Hawk: What the hell is going on with you right now!? Yes, your time was cut off short thanks to the other five competitors but that had nothing to do with me or Showdown. All I have tried to do this entire season is to remind all these Elitists that there are not some free for all, WE WRESTLE HERE! Biting the face of young talent or attacking a guest from another brand while defying my order to leave the building is not putting you in a very good World Championship light, and this should have been a night to celebrate your accomplishments Kassidy, but like this? All because I am doing my job as the GM? All due to you being upset that wrestlers you have already defeated are in the Chamber!? I’m going to ask you right now to leave that ring. The show is OVER and we are about to cut the feed.
(She starts shaking her head.)
Kassidy Heart: No…. you are not. You want me to leave the ring, come down here right now and take the mic from me.
Hurricane Hawk: Don’t do this Kassidy.
(She walks to the ropes and sits on them, opening it up for Hawk to walk in. He hesitates for a moment before he makes his way as the crowd cheers. Hawk gets to the apron and rolls in, extending his hand out for Kassidy to hand him over the mic. Looking around for a moment at the fans, her eyes lock with his, he can’t stop staring at some of the blood from her mouth…)
Hurricane Hawk: Give me the mic, the show is over and you have one week to get ready for the Answers World Championship Extreme Elimination Chamber.
Kassidy Heart: Here you go.
(Kassidy hands him the mic, Hawk nods when suddenly….)
Deadprez: KASSIDY HEART JUST GRABBED THE LEGS OF THE GENERAL MANAGER AND TRIPPED HIM UP! SHE IS STRADDLING HAWK LOOKING DOWN AT HIM….
Hurricane Hawk: KASSIDY DON’T DO THIS! SECURITY!!!!!
(She looks up and sees Cleveland police and security come running out, her facial expression slowly turns into a sneer as she slowly places her hands at the eyes of Hawk….)
Eve: KASSIDY HEART IS ABOUT TO GOUGE HIS EYES OUT! AND HAWK IS NOW TRYING TO KICK HER OFF! HERE ARE ARENA SECURITY AND KASSIDY KIPS UP TO HER FEET, SHE CLOTHESLINES ONE OF THE SECURITY GUARDS AND THE OTHER TAKES A SPEAR FROM HEART! HURRICANE HAWK IS ROLLING OUT OF THE RING AND KASSIDY LOOKS DERANGED! SHE JUMPS AT HAWK TO TRY AND GRAB HIM BUT HERE COME TWO MORE SECURITY! THEY GRAB HER FROM BEHIND AND SHE PUSHES THEM OFF!
Deadprez: CLEVELAND POLICE IS IN THERE AND….
BUZZZZZZ!!!!!
(Kassidy suddenly sees prongs shot at her and sticking to her chest, the electricity bolts through her body as she is not falling, but clearly stunned, the other officer then shoots her with another taser! The prongs shoot an electrical shock to the system as Kassidy falls to the mat, crumbling, unconscious as the two officers quickly jump on her and detain her, putting the limp Kassidy in handcuffs, Hawk looks remorseful, grabbing the Answers World Championship)
Deadprez: Did….. did we just see Kassidy get Tasered twice?
Eve: We did…. This is a very disturbing situation here and I… I’m speechless….
(Hawk is seen screaming into the camera….)
Hurricane Hawk: CUT IT! CUT THE DAMN FEED!
(The chaotic scene is the last thing you see as the feed quickly ends.)
