(“Highlights From Last Weeks Showdown is aired highlighting the Tag Team Main Event between TLA and Cody Marshall Vs Diamond Cage and Jim Hammerlock and TLA leaving Cody high dry, along with the remaining members of the NEO Syndicate looking to captain Showdown’s Territorial Invasion team)
(“Misanthrope” By Local H hits as the Showdown intro begins to play before we cut to the live feed of The Dome of Dome with thousands of screaming Showdown fans before cutting to the ramp as a fireworks display is shown before a pan around the arena as we finally cut to Pierre McGuire and Deadprez at the commentators table)
Pierre: AND WELCOME TO ANOTHER ACTION-PACKED EDITION OF EAW SHOWDOWN!! I’M PIERRE MCGUIRE JOINED BY DEADPREZ LOOKING FORWARD TO CALLING ANOTHER EXCITING WEEK OF SHOWDOWN ACTION HERE TONIGHT!!
Deadprez: And I am also excited because tonight is the return of the GOAT Champion! Ahren Fournier is back on Showdown and I couldn’t be more happy and also it’s the first match of the best of seven to determine who will be next in line for an EAW Championship match! All that and more tonight on Showdown! And speaking of champions I hear the Unified Tag Team Champions are on their way out here right now!
(“Glory Bridge” by Chief Keef & A Boogie hits to a huge reaction of cheers and boos as Astraea Jordan and Malcolm Jones make their way out to the ring sporting their tag team championships, Astraea also has a crown on her head signaling the Empress of Elite. They make their way up the ramp and into the ring as they are handed microphones.)
Deadprez: Drillmatic has been a force together and on their own so far in season 12 proving to be one of the cornerstone acts in this company! Astraea Jordan is fresh off of winning the Empress of Elite while at the same time holding onto those tag team championships while solo championship pursuits lay in the horizon for Malcolm Jones.
Pierre: The future is very bright for these two and that’s saying a lot considering how much they’ve already managed to accomplish thus far. I wonder what they have in stored for us tonight.
(“Glory Bridge” fades out as Malcolm & Astraea pace around the ring waiting for the rawkus crowd to die down before speaking)
Malcolm: A lot less dickeaters in the crowd tonight :notbad:. But forreal, we out here tonight because we got a lot to get off of our chest and a lot of shit to say, first off I wanna start by saying.… WE TOLD YOU SO. We told you we was gonna bounce back from our world championship match losses while you were so busy celebrating our failures we were in the lab cooking making sure you would eventually eat your words. Ima just keep it real and speak how I feel because unlike my significant other here, I personally don’t give a fuck about any fan or their opinion. It’s like this, you people put us under a microscope the moment we got a co-sign from Mr. DEDEDE 9 months ago. Something we still can’t escape to this day. Nobody gave a fuck about us when we were busting our ass in the EAW Performance Center or I was on NEO or Astraea was being given the short end of the stick for the first 3-4 months of her career under a corrupt regime. You all turned a blind eye to it but as soon as we finally rose to prominence you had a lot of ignorant shit to say. We didn’t let it deter us though. We won, we lost. We had ups and downs where you scoffed at our success and laughed at our failures but all it ever did was motivate us and make us stronger so….. thank you.
Astraea: I’ll be honest Malc. I’m not used to my music hitting and a whole arena of people booing my name, but I’ve learned that you can’t please them all. All I can do is keep winning and making history and that’s what I’ve been doing. I learned the hard way that people don’t wanna see you shine, they’ll root for your success as long as your success is kept at a minimum to where you don’t get further than them. People like us making it as far as we have has never been anticipated and it makes people uncomfortable to see us where we are. The unfortunate thing for them is….. well….. I ain’t here to cater to nobody but Astraea Jordan and Malcolm Jones. In other words, I don’t give a fuck. I went through it all over this past year, I been blatantly sabotaged, I been sent across the mothafuckin globe just to hone my skills, I found myself in a whole ass other North American company, back in EAW amongst the same bums and dykes I wanted to get away from to begin with, in a blood feud with a bitch who tried to end my career, a world title match that I once again came up short in only to bounce back immediately and win a tag title and become the Empress of Elite. A rollercoaster if I’ve ever seen one. I been through hell and back in late 2017 and 2018. I been put under a microscope and scrutinized by a group of people for every little thing that I’ve done. I learned that there’s some people you just can’t win over and when I stopped trying to and just started doing me and not giving a fuck, that’s when the results came in. Now this crown on my head is something none of these bitches can ever take away from me and these tag team championships are something I WISH one of y’all would try to.
Malcolm: I wish too, but let’s be honest babe, we tried the whole open challenge thing last time and it didn’t quite work out. Shit, and this was before we actually defended the titles and before you won the Empress of Elite. If nobody came out back then, then they damn sure ain’t coming out now.
Astraea: Typical EAW locker room, talk shit behind our backs in their safe zones but won’t come see us in person. Same clowns who was singing my praises after I beat Maddie at Pain for Pride but as soon as I won Empress of Elite it was crickets.
Malcolm: It was crickets because they didn’t wanna see you win. They was rooting for Kassidy, the same girl who walks around with Sienna Jade doing their best mean girls impression berating everybody in the company was somehow the favorite even tho you never did shit to nobody but be yourself.
Astraea: It be like that sometimes.
Malcolm: Like I said, I’d much rather be hated than to have fake love shown like 99% of this locker room. At least I know they keeping it a buck with me in that regard. Just think, you got a bunch of people in this company, on Empire specifically who act all high and mighty backstage, too good to interact with their fellow EAW roster members when they aren’t fulfilling a business obligation, too attached to a bunch of people who left this company, and blatantly go against status quo for some false sense of dignity when in reality they just look like ignorant dickheads clinging onto an older era and people who are never coming back. You got people who smile in everyone’s faces and then behind their back they’re talking a gang of shit and hiding their hands in public. The same people gassing Kassidy up be the same people who don’t really even like her. They just disliked her a tad bit less than they dislike you and picked the lesser of two evils in their head. The same people who felt like they were too good to acknowledge your win or show any type of support and offer congrats are the same people probably too busy elsewhere probably in their group chats or in some other circle jerk talking a gang of shit about you. YET, these same people wouldn’t be able to fuck with you on your worst day so their opinion is null and void. It’s like the overweight unathletic bozo who sits on his couch talking shit about Lebron’s finals record when they haven’t picked up a basketball since 300 pounds ago, we like to call those armchair analysts. If you think about it, every all-time great in this sport and other sports have always been polarizing figures.. this is no different. Besides, had Kassidy won, they’d have offered their support and congrats and then a week later when the luster wore off it’s back to hating Kassidy and talking shit and saying how management has a bias for her.. and you know why.
Astraea: ..Because they love you when you’re puttin that work in but hate you when the results from that work actually pays off. That’s facts. I earned that win and ima keep winning in the face of every naysayer and doubter who got some shit to say. Hating on me ain’t gonna bring back the old long gone era of your old golden children turned disloyal rejects that you’re clinging onto. The only thing I’m clinging onto is these championships I’m bout to rack up.
Malcolm: That’s the motto, let them eat their hearts out, it ain’t stopping SHIT so they can either get with the program or get lost.
Astraea: Which brings us to the reason we came out here tonight. When Drillmatic won these titles, we vowed to elevate the titles and bring them to a level that had never been brought before by prior holders. We vowed to take on all challengers and be fighting champions but it seems like “all challengers” was lost in translation because when we say all CHALLENGERS… we mean somebody who could give us an actual CHALLENGE. It’s not many of them out there especially team wise in the tag team division, MarrKade too busy tryna figure out who the true National Elite Champ is, Dragon Slayers some trash, NEO Syndicate some trash and they lost the only somewhat relevant member of their group, we proved how trash Core Bros were last week when Malcolm beat Rico so bad the goofy ran out of the company. So that leaves us looking once again for someone to fight. But this ain’t no open challenge, because I’m tired of you EAW Performance Center talent level ass bozos coming out here tryna fight with us only to be handed your ass. With that said we got a different type of challenge.
Malcolm: A challenge that is sure to elevate these belts to a higher level than previously seen, no tricks no gimmicks no bullshit. I’m a man who headlined Pain for Pride in a world title match, Astraea damn near headlined Pain for Pride, she’s the Empress of Elite and the surefire next Unified Women’s World Champion. Yet here we are making these (raises championship in the air) our priority. So what’s the excuse for the rest of you so called world champions out there or world championship contenders? We on the same level, it ain’t nothing to us to fight for these championships and it should be nothing to y’all to do the same. Besides, some of y’all gonna have to see us eventually anyways so we might as well get acquainted.
Astraea: Any two elitists out there with importance and relevance and clout that could rival ours, you’re on the clock. Male, female, it don’t even matter, we just want competition. We want all the smoke and we wanna see how many of these bitches so bitter at my EOE win wanna do something about it. Y’all different tho, cuz where I’m from if I got a problem with a bitch or a ni-
Malcolm: Language.
Astraea: If I got a problem with a bitch or a …guy. I address that problem to their face I don’t sit there and hold my breath and let anger over another person overcome me. Besides I don’t even know what I could even be getting u bitches angry about I ain’t worried about y’all, if I got a problem with somebody it’s for a legit reason. Y’all just seem to hate to see me winning but ima do that whether you like me or not. Nonetheless, if I got a problem with somebody I address my problems and don’t hold it in like a coward. I don’t smile in the face of someone I secretly don’t like with fake ass well wishes. I don’t huddle up with a group of other bitter ass bitches and form a circle jerk hate club against somebody…. and I DAMN SURE don’t spend my time coming up with conspiracies and scenarios about somebody in hopes that it makes them look bad. I got enough faith in my ability to fight to make them look bad that way. What about y’all tho? Can you say the same? And this is to the whole Empire locker room and maybe even any of you dudes who got some shit to say about me. You know, the ones who be in bed with these bitches pillow talking and lowkey being mad because the bitch you gassing up can’t fuck with me. I mean I figured all the dudes who had an inferiority complex when it came to me who I made feel so uncomfortable done already got themselves fired or fucked off away from this company but the more things change the more they stay the same so if any of you still exist the invitation is extended to you as well.
Malcolm: Basically, anybody can get it. We wanna prove that we the best and we gonna beat whoever the “best” individuals supposedly are, one way or another. Whether that means them taking the fight to us or vice versa, it’s gonna happen. We got some names in mind but we wanna see who steps up first.
Astraea: Yeah we wanna see who steps up. I expect somebody to. Especially you detractors who don’t think I deserve to wear this crown on my head. Those of you who disregarded every single thing I put forth into achieving what I worked my whole life for. THOSE OF YOU WHO THINK MY WIN WAS A FLUKE BECAUSE YOUR BUM ASS SOCIAL CIRCLE LIKES TO TALK SHIT BEHIND MY BACK LIKE A BUNCH OF SOFT ASS BITCHES WHO CAN’T SPEAK UP. LIKE I DIDN’T ALMOST LOSE MY FUCKIN MOTHER DURING THE VERY WEEK OF THE BIGGEST MATCH OF MY LIFE, WHO’S STILL IN THE HOSPITAL BY THE WAY. LIKE I DIDN’T PUT THE FUCKIN WORK IN TO BECOME AS GOOD AS I AM TODAY AND IT WAS HANDED TO ME OR SOME SHIT. LIKE I DIDN’T BUST MY ASS MY WHOLE FUCKING LIFE TO MAKE IT OUT OF THE SOUTHSIDE OF CHICAGO AND MAKE IT INTO THE WRESTLING BUSINESS AFTER MY CAREER ALMOST ENDED AT THE HANDS OF AN INJURY. LIKE I DIDN’T SPEND MY 2017 ON EMPIRE BEING FUCKED OVER BY THE SAME CLIQUEY ASS MENTALITY THAT HATES ON ME TODAY, LEAD BY THE FORMER GM TARAH NOVA AND HER SHEEP ASS GOONS. BUT BECAUSE I DIDN’T SPEND MY EMPRESS OF ELITE WEEK TALKING TO FUCKING SHRINKS AND DOCTORS, DISREGARDING THE ACTUAL MATCH AT STAKE AND MY ACTUAL OPPONENT AND MAKE A WHOLE BUNCH OF DRAMATIC VIDEOS THAT AIN’T GOT SHIT TO DO WITH SHIT…. MY WIN WAS A FLUKE????? SO PROVE IT. I DARE ANY ONE OF YOU HOE ASS NIGGAS OR BITCHES TO COME OUT HERE WHENEVER YOU READY AND PROVE MY SHIT IS A FLUKE. I KNOW IT HURTS YOUR HEART TO SEE ME WINNING AND SHINING AND REACHING MY DESTINY BECAUSE I NEVER CONFORMED TO YOUR BACKSTAGE SOCIAL CIRCLES AND DIDN’T NEED TO SEND MY NUDES TO THOSE IN POWER TO GET AHEAD… BUT IT’S THE ERA OF A REAL BITCH AND THE REST OF YOU FAKES ARE A NON-FACTOR. THIS AIN’T NO FUCKIN “DEDEDE PET PROJECT”, THIS IS A BITCH WHO MADE IT OUT THE MUD AND ROSE TO THE TOP AND WILL CONTINUE TO WIN TO SPITE YOU DUMB FUCKS. THIS IS THE 2018 EMPRESS OF ELITE, FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER YOU CAN FINALLY SAY YOU HAVE A WORTHY WINNER WHO WE WON’T BE LOOKING BACK ON WHEN IT’S ALL SAID AND DONE WITH REGRET. YOU CAN EITHER EAT YOUR HEARTS OUT, OR STEP UP AND GET FUCKED UP.
(Astraea slams the mic down and storms off angrily as MJ follows her, “Glory Bridge” picks back up.)
Deadprez: Well… emphatic is an understatement to describe what we just witnessed from Astraea Jordan and Malcolm Jones! I can’t speak on behalf of anybody else backstage but I personally would not wanna b in the bad graces of Drillmatic, especially Astraea after that statement they just left!
Pierre: You and me both, but it should be interesting to see where they go from here.

Eve: Ladies and Gentleman the man preparing to start off his best of seven series against Nobi! Terry Chambers!
(Terry looks nonchalant and interested to speak as he looks at Eve)
Terry: Before you speak, or ask me any kind of stupid question. I’ve already beaten this man and I know probably a few months ago when he was carrying championship gold that the world probably thought he was going to finally break through the mold and excel here but that was a one hit wonder people, I’ve beaten Nobi and he isn’t of any importance to continue beating but if I have to sweep him in this series to ensure that I get my shot at the EAW Championship then so be it. I’m at a point in my career where I’m going to take exactly what I want and I want to be the man on Showdown. I want to be in the main event, I want to be the man to beat, I want to be the absolutely number one undisputed champion in EAW and the only way to do that is to take the EAW Championship. So Nobi for however long this series goes on, which won’t be long, I simply say to you, it isn’t personal. It’s just business, everyone was so happy to see you back in EAW but quite frankly. I personally could care less that you are here, you are the opposite of a has been because you never was. And you won’t be at my expense, not now, not ever. I’m done with this interview, I have a match to prepare for.
Eve: But you didn’t let me ask you a single question…
Terry: Like I said, this interview is over.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
(Camera transitions to a room where the Heart Break Boy can be seated at a table with Max A Million, on the other side there’s an empty seat, the Interwire Championship is placed in the middle of that table alongside a piece of paper.)
Max: I’m here tonight with our Interwire Champion, the Heart Break Boy. He requested this special sit down interview and we are also awaiting the arrival of former champion, Ahren Fournier who has been formally invited by Heart Break Boy himself to join us. So I’ll start off by asking, what brings us here tonight?
HBB: It’s simple, Ahren Fournier has not been able to stop running his mouth since he lost his championship at Midsummer Massacre, he’s done all types of narrative spinning and anything else possible in order to sway the fans and keep this “GOAT” charade going. Two weeks ago he brought out an imposter of me in his way of “making a statement”. I don’t know if he’s been doing all of this for the sake of trying to get in my head, or trying to convince HIMSELF that he has what it takes to win the title back from me. I’d love to hear from the man himself and see what’s going on here, so hopefully he shows up.
Max: You bring up the incident where Ahren brought out an imposter, in that incident he also alluded to facing you in a rematch at Territorial Invasion, what are your thoughts on that?
HBB: I’d love to give my thoughts once Ahren shows up, IF Ahren shows up.
Max: In the event that he doesn’t what can we expect from you going forward?
HBB: Taking all challenges, Malcolm Jones scored a win over me a few weeks back and he’s been running his mouth about it. I’d love to get in the ring with him again where there’s some real stakes involved and then we’ll see who’s talking. If not him, there’s a lot of guys out there, I could help elevate these young up and comers by giving them the match of their life, a loss they can walk away and learn something from. Guys like Damon Diesel, Shane Gates, hell even a Nobi or a Terry once one of them are done with their little series. There’s a lot of potential for me to defend this title against and prove that I am the man to beat on Showdown.
Max: This energy, this confidence, it’s not something that I could say we’ve seen from you in a while but this championship win has seemed to rejuvenate you.
HBB: Indeed it has, I’ve fought over the years to reclaim the glory to my name and there’s no way I’m going to let it slip now. I’ve slipped up in the past and I’ve made mistakes and I’ve learned from it all, that’s why I’m able to stand before everyone as the Interwire Champion, and a man on a mission to reclaim his title as the GOAT.
????: Did someone say GOAT?
(Ahren Fournier appears in the frame as he finally arrives to the meeting.)
Max: Nice of you to join us Ahren, I was just ab-
Ahren: Save the pleasantries. What do you want, Mike?
HBB: I should be asking you the same thing.
Ahren: Are we really gonna play these games now? You win one match off of a lucky last second reach and now you think you’re honestly better than me? Getting all extra with these sit downs? Don’t get too cocky because that might backfire on you.
HBB: You mean like how uhhh…. you calling yourself the GOAT Champion backfired on you?
Ahren: I lost one match but I still have a higher trajectory than you. Your whole career is a backfire. We’ll see who’s in a better position when it’s all said and done.
HBB: I truly do commend the confidence. We all have to be delusional to an extent in order to be successful. Reach for the stars they say. You’ve been reaching for the stars ever since you left Dynasty in December. You’ve come a long way, from being stuck in purgatory for the likes of Tomi Venus and Stark to get better opportunities, to eventually rubbing elbows with Mr. DEDEDE and Jamie O’Hara, to winning the Interwire Championship. You’ve come a long way but I’m afraid to inform you that this is the end of the road for you.
Ahren: You’d know a thing or two about the end of the road. Considering your journey met it’s end years ago. Look Mike you’re on borrowed time, you’re cruising off of a legacy you’ve built for yourself before I graced this company and you’ve damaged it so much that you’re milking the cow for whatever’s left. Your Interwire Championship reign is nothing more than damage control, and if you ask me you didn’t EARN it. Your win was the equivalent to someone tossing a shot up from the other side of the court at the end of the game and by some snow balls chance in hell it actually going through the basket. It wasn’t your skill or prowess or veterans instinct, so you can miss me with that bullshit.
HBB: You can call it what you want, just don’t forget to call ME the Interwire Champion. And you got a long way to go before you call yourself the GOAT anything because from where I see it, every GOAT contender you’ve faced well… you’ve FAILED against them time and time again. That’s why I knew it would be no different between us. This is slightly above your pay grade. Maybe you should stick with the middle of the pack elitists because that’s where you seem to truly excel.
Ahren: Maybe you should have kept your ass back in 2012 because that’s the last time YOU truly excelled. You’re no GOAT, you’re no different than our Showdown GM or any other old fuck running around this company with a Hall of Fame ring based on some shit they did when this was still called “Extreme”. The only pack I’m in the middle of are your two daughters whenever EAW comes to Missouri.
(HBB’s expression changes to a more serious one as he leans in closer.)
HBB: You better watch your mouth.
Ahren: Or what? Is this young buck getting under your skin? Are you about to let little ol me bring you out of character, huh “GOAT”?
(HBB eases up and becomes more calm as a slight smirk creeps onto his face.)
HBB: Never that. Besides, your immature jokes won’t bring that title back to your possession. Won’t bring that GOAT Champion claim back either. You’re no GOAT or a champion, all I see when I look at you now… is a clown. A clown who has to rely on antics and jokes to get my attention, well you got it.
Ahren: I don’t need your attention or your validation. YOU invited ME here and I still don’t know why, did you bring me here to see the GOAT live and in flesh again? Well here I am in all my glory, savor the moment. Now what else do you want?
Max: Guys-
HBB: It’s not about what I want. It’s about what you want. I saw that segment of yours where you brought that old man dressed up as me out and you challenged me to a rematch at Territorial Invasion.
Ahren: Well I’m damn sure entitled to one ain’t I?
HBB: Allow me to respond to that challenge in my native language.
(Ahren rolls his eyes)
HBB: What? You didn’t know I had my own native language as well?!?! Well I don’t know if you’ll be able to translate it but…… BURR! BURR! BURR!
(A dumbfounded Ahren looks on with no words.)
HBB: That’s Bricksquad, for I ACCEPT.
(HBB pushes the paper and pen on the table towards Ahren as Ahren looks on and signs it. The two men stand up as HBB reaches his hand out for a formal handshake agreement, Ahren hesitates before shaking it as neither men let their grip go and stare face to face. The camera fades to black.)

Pierre: But now Terry is squatting in a ready position in the center of the ring! He knows Nobi is like an injured animal right now! Nobi steps out of the corner and looks for an opening. Terry moves in on Nobi— BUT NOBI DUCKS AND HITS THE ROPES! Terry turns around—
Deadprez: AND CATCHES NOBI IN POSITI N FOR THE CHAMBERS OF PAIN! SWINGS BACK—

(Nobi collapses against the barricade, clutching his shoulder. Terry leans against the ropes and holds two fingers in the air while glaring at him)
Deadprez: Terry reminding Nobi that he now has two recent wins against Nobi. But don’t forget people. He is only up 1-0 in this series!
Pierre: One thing is for certain, whichever of these men ends up facing the EAW Champion, he will have earned it!
(FINAL Commercial for Thursday Night Empire)
(We open back up to the crowd standing in anticipation)
(“Smells Like Teen Spirit” By Nirvana hits as Diamond Cage steps out donning a leather jacket, shades and the EAW Championship draped around his shoulder as he is flanked by Jim Hammerlock who is wearing a shirt that says “1-0”)
Pierre: Well it surely was one of the most awkward Showdown main events we’ve ever had but it was a match that saw Cage and his friend snag a victory over Showdown’s top contenders for Cage’s Championship
Deadprez: Or maybe it was the ego of TLA that has made him blatantly throw the match away!
(Cage is handed a microphone as the crowd continues chanting “CAGE! CAGE! CAGE!”)
Cage: I’m here to set the record straight, not only to set the record straight but to make it very loud and clear about how things are ran here on Showdown. It’s not often your worlds champion would want to put himself in danger and hurdles when he’s holding the crown jewel of this company but it’s not often your worlds champion is a man like Diamond Cage. What sets me apart is I’ll fight anyone, I’ll fight TLA, I’ll fight Cody Marshall, that’s why I asked for the Triple Threat match so it leaves no doubt in anyone’s mind who the absolute best is. But that just isn’t good enough for me, every day I hold this championship and I go to live event after live event or I show up for television live with this championship, whatever show I am on and whatever show I am advertised to be on is the main event. I’m the EAW Champion therefore I AM EAW! I am the face of this company, every other world championship that you see on EAW programming might as well be minor league championships, they playing little league and when you see the EAW Champion you know damn well that I’m swinging for the fences and I’m hitting homeruns. So I’m here to make things real simple for TLA and Cody Marshall in letting them know that when the fight starts it isn’t about personal vendettas and it isn’t about anything but what I hold in my hands, it’s about the EAW Championship. I wasn’t there for the beginning of this rivalry, I was doing bigger things like carrying this brand on my back, but I’m here to let TLA and Cody know that since my EAW Championship is now in this business, that makes me apart of their business and it makes me the man to beat in that match. Just like that, I make a rivalry that nobody gave a single shit about and made it important just by offering to fight the both of you. But this isn’t one of those scenarios where the champion bites off more than he can chew. This is a scenario where the champion proves that he is what he says he is and that is not only that I am the most dangerous man in the world but I’m the most dangerous champion in this entire damn company.
(Cage pauses for a bit as the crowd cheers but he continues to speak)
Cage: But maybe that isn’t good enough you know? Maybe I want something more than just beating TLA and Cody Marshall and remaining the EAW Champion. Maybe I have a message for a man who is doing all this searching when the answer has been in front of his face since day one. I’ve seen a lot of men enter this business and I’ve seen a lot of them go and get themselves fired, I’ve seen the walkouts, I’ve seen almost every kind of fuckery that comes with this business and to be completely honest, that makes me a Veteran. That makes me a locker room leader because I’ve seen and done it all and whether I don’t fit the part of your hero, I don’t fit the part as a man who can lead, the fact is I am head and shoulders the man around here and the brand that lays host to that man is Showdown.
(The Crowd begins to cheer as Cage begins to speak once more)
Cage: That’s right, Showdown is the home of the EAW Championship therefore that makes Showdown the number one show in this entire company whether anyone likes it or not. And nothing they say can absolutely defect that claim. What championship finished the biggest day in EAW history during it’s biggest spectacle? The EAW Championship. What championship has this companies fucking intials on it’s damn frontplate? The Elite Answers Wrestling Championship. This isn’t me thinking I’m better than what I am, I’m Diamond Freaking Cage and I’m saying damn it, if anyone, and I mean anyone is capable of being the captain of Showdown for Territorial Invasion, well Hurricane Hawk I don’t need to introduce myself, you know who I am, you know what I do when I get in this ring. I don’t give a damn about the Triple Threat, I am the man, I am the whole damn brand, I am the whole damn show. I am the EAW Champion and I will remain the EAW Champion until someone has the balls to shoot to kill and pry it out of my cold dead hands. Until then nobody is taking the EAW Championship away from Diamond Cage. So I’m going to do you this one favor Hurricane Hawk, make the right decision and let me enter a structure that I know very well considering I was in the first EAW War Games match and I won it. Diamond Cage is the captain of Team Showdown at Territorial Invasion and I am going to ensure victory for my show the same way I am going to ensure victory when I retain the EAW World Championship against two men and it won’t be any thing anyone can say about me, about Showdown and about this being the only true World Championship that matters in this entire fucking company.
(“God’s Gonna Cut You Down” By Johnny Cash hits as Cody Marshall enters to a Mixed Reaction from the crowd as Cage immediately takes off his shades but Cody has a microphone in his hand and begins to speak)
Cody: I was begging, waiting, but you really are like my ex wives Cage. You really do know how to bore the hell out of me, I couldn’t wait to come out here and shut you up. I’m just tired of you, I’m tired of TLA, I’m tired of fans booing me then the next min cheering me like god dammnit pick a damn side. I don’t really give a damn what side they take, cause soon the only side that’s gonna matter is the side the EAW Championship is on and it sure as hell won’t be on your balding ass head anymore, and aren’t you canadian? See this is the problem with this country, letting some damn canucks and Mexicans come into this country and consider themselves champions. I’ve had enough of this and I’m going to bring some honor back to this place, and whether it’s your ass I gotta beat or TLA’s ass, it doesn’t do me no different, you two have sneaked across our border and pretending to be successful, we do things different here in America and we do thing-
Cage: Things like get your ass kicked by me and Jim over here? Save it, All you are doing is talking and talking, running your mouth yet here I stand in the middle of my ring, we don’t have to wait, you can get your ass in this ring and we can fight right here, right now!
Cody: I bet you’d like that, I bet all of you would like that but quite frankly, I’m just not here to operate on your time champ. I operate on my time, and my time is Territorial Invasion. My time is when I do my country proud and I bring the gold back to where it belongs!
Cage: Well it’s simple to me, I wasn’t asking you to get into the ring, hell you don’t even have to get in the ring.
Deadprez: CAGE STEPS OUT OF THE RING AND HE’S HIGH TAILING IT UP THE RAMP!!! CAGE RUNNING UP THE RAMP AS CODY SWINGS THAT MICROPHONE LIKE A WEAPON FOR THE HEAD OF CAGE!! BUT CAGE DUCKS AND HE BEGINS TAGGING CODY WITH RIGHT HANDS!! BOTH MEN TRADING RIGHT HANDS REPEATEDLY NOW!! CAGE IS GETTING THE BETTER OF CODY!!! CODY IS STAGGERING AND CAGE GRABS CODY AND RUNS HIM FACE FIRST INTO THE SHOWDOWN SET!!!
Pierre: CAGE RUNS AT CODY AS WE HAVE AN ALL OUR BRAWL ON OUR HANDS!!!! AND CODY!!! WITH A BOOT TO THE MID-SECTION!! AND HE HOOKS CAGE!! CODY HOOKS CAGE BY THE THROAT!!! HE LIFTS CAGE HIGH IN THE AIR!! AND HE JUST CHOKESLAMMED DIAMOND CAGE ONTO THE STEEL STAGE!!!! CAGE JUST GOT CHOKESLAMMED INTO THE STEEL STAGE!!!
Deadprez: AND CODY!! HE’S MADE A STATEMENT!! HE JUST LEFT THE EAW CHAMPION LAYIN– TLA!! FROM BEHIND WITH A STEEL PIPE!! HE HITS CODY IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD WITH THAT LEAD PIPE!!!!! AND CODY DROPS!!! TLA STANDING ABOVE BOTH HIS OPPONENTS!!! TLA STANDING TALL AS THE FANS ARE BEGINNING TO CHEER FOR TLA!!!!
(“Ambitionz Az A Ridah hits as TLA begins smiling looking down at both men before raising his hands in the air)
