(EAW intro plays)
(Showdown opens up with a recap of everything that happened in Showdown last week. Chef Viz comes out to talk about the attack he suffered from Solomon Stane, with Solomon coming out saying that he has never done with him ever since that night at Road to Redemption, and so Chef Viz decides to take up the challenge and happily fight him at Fighting Spirit for the Answers World Championship. Usagi Senshi defeats Hardcore Luna. Madison Kaline is tired of the disrespect once more and she decides to host a tournament to give a rookie the chance to fight her in a match at Pain for Pride. Clayton Golde hosts a new talk show with the British Invasion, where after some convicing from them to Clayton so he can actually be a good host, Halsey and Pandora promise to finally get the Unified Tag Team Championships to their name and Daryl plans to main event Pain for Pride and fight for the Answers World Championship. Brianna Hill defeats Ashlynn Quinn to earn a chance to fight KASAI for the Specialists Championship at Fighting Spirit. Princess Candice promises that she will bounce back one way or another, to be able to cross the finish line and achieve a happily ever after. Auburn Ware defeats Nikki Kimura to advance in Madison’s tournament. Raven Roberts has an interview with Mikaela Street about how much it means to go to Pain for Pride to fight for the National Elite Championship, before being attacked and laid out by Miku Sakai. Caroline enters Kennedy’s office, to warn her about not stopping her from what she is about to do in the future, and surprisingly Kennedy tells her that whatever she does is not her problem unless it involves her or crosses the line, Caroline accepts that and then calmly leaves. Terry Chambers defeats Kirk Redwood. ARIA and Veena Adams go through a contract signing for their match, Veena tears into ARIA and does not hold back while ARIA takes it, but ARIA still shows some confidence despite that, Veena tries to cheapshot ARIA but ARIA is able to attack back and lay Veena out, with the crowd weirdly still somehow being against ARIA. TLA defeats Scott Diamond in the main event, as a gigantic brawl ends up breaking out between Adam, Kelton, Daryl and TLA to end the show.)
(The recap ends, and it is replaced with the song “Brick Wall” by a Day to Remember, as the camera pans around the inside of University Arena “The Pit” in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Fireworks are shooting out of the stage and the whole crowd can be seen cheering and being excited for the show. The camera ends up panning over to the commentary table with Deadprez, Eve and Gavin Kirkland as the commentators.)
Eve: WELCOME EVERYONE… TO SATURDAY NIGHT SHOWDOWN!!!
Deadprez: We are officially one week away from Fighting Spirit, as we continue heating up and heading down the road to Pain for Pride, or… well, carriage, considering this Pain for Pride is going to have a Disney style to it.
Eve: I assure you tonight’s Showdown is going to be magical from the wrestling side though, we are going to see Madison Kaline go up against Clayton Golde, we will see as well Hardcore Luna fight Daniella Atlas in the- I am not saying the whole name, in Madison’s tournament, and we see the EAW Specialists Champion KASAI fight Miku Sakai!
Deadprez: We also see Solomon Stane fight Usagi Senshi, and in the main event, the tradition of course, CAN THEY CO-EXIST?! We see TLA, Adam Lucas and Jon Kelton team up as they fight Pandora Paisley, Halsey Neel and Daryl Kinkade, the British Invasion!
Gavin Kirkland: LET’S NOT WASTE ANYMORE TIME, LET US START WITH THE FATAL FOUR WAY CONTENDERS!
(Showdown jumped right into the ring, looking to start the broadcast in a hot start or… well, as hot as it could be when it showed off Alana standing in the ring with a microphone, and obviously, the crowd did not like one single bit of what they were seeing, as Alana laughed to herself before she began talking on the microphone.)
Alana Starr: Wow, I should be given bonuses with the way my bestie continues to trust me with jobs like this, I do not think I need to tell you how all of this goes, your “support” is appreciated but not needed, thank you either way!
(The crowd just ended up booing louder towards Alana while she happily smiled and then she continued talking.)
Alana Starr: I will make sure to do a GOOD job either way to contain our competitors, let me start off already by bringing in first… DARYL KINKADE!
(“Kamikaze” by RedHook started playing on the speakers and the boos did not cease at all for when Daryl ended up coming out, he rushed towards the stage, dressed in a well mannered shirt and pants, calmly ignoring the crowd that was booing him and simply going down the ramp, feeling more focused than other days due to the opportunity that comes with this match.)
Eve: Here comes down Daryl Kinkade, looking at his entire season, he has gone through a lots of ups and down, failing to capture the Answers World Championship several times either by normal losses or by someone else’s doing, Daryl is trying his best to push through with every bit that he has to either make it big or go home, and honestly, this is the last opportunity for any of the four guys to end at Pain for Pride, but after the risks that he has taken when joining up with Pandora Paisley and Halsey Neel, he will do whatever it takes to be the one who achieves what he believes is his.
(Daryl quickly arrived towards the ring apron, hopping up and then calmly entering through the ropes, he smiled a bit when seeing Alana and the two actually shook hands as he walked over to take one of the corners, leaning against it while he waited for the next person to come out.)
Alana Starr: Next… we have JON KELTON!
(“Unfuckwittable” by Kid Cudi plays on the speakers and the crowd cheers in response, Jon Kelton calmly walked out being on point with the fashion as well, lowering his sunglasses as he took a few steps forward, still being struck back from seeing the support of the crowd like that, he did not let that show in his expression though as he shook his head and walked down.)
Eve: We got Jon Kelton coming down, he has had a successful start to the season, well, as successful as much as dirty it was, he used the power of Devolution to get ahead of the pack and the other competitors, but all of it ended with Veena finally beat him despite all of his shenanigans, and he lost the National Elite Championship, he tried going for the Answers World Championship and he badly failed there, and just after all of that happened, he had his whole group turn on him-
Deadprez: Yeah, all of that sounds bad.
Eve: It has been, yes! But Jon Kelton has tried to have a change of heart when it comes to his failures, and he is looking to bounce back by winning an opportunity here for the Answers World Championship!
(Jon Kelton arrived at the ring and slowly went through the ropes, he stared daggers right onto Daryl, Daryl staring back as Kelton simply kept his distance for now and got in one of the other corners.)
Alana Starr: We have as well with us… ADAM LUCAS!
(“Be Legendary” by Pop Evil plays on the speakers and the crowd cheers louder than before, as Adam Lucas rushes out with a determined expression on his face, just wearing a casual shirt with a leather jacket over it and some jeans, looking around at the crowd and taking in the cheers.)
Eve: And we have our former Answers World Champion as well, for the whole start of the season we ended up seeing him hold the top prize for a while, beating several talented wrestlers and racking up defenses, but all of that ended when Chef Viz took his chance and he dethroned him off the pedestal that he was in, he has been fighting and clawing back to the spot that he believes to be at, but he ended up being struck down by Solomon Stane when he was so close, and then being tormented as well by Caroline, to the point Bethany had to step in to help him out against the two, and now, he is here with one more opportunity to take a crack at the world championship.
(Adam moved down the ramp accepting some high fives from the crowd as he hopped onto the ring apron, entering inside, and saluting towards Daryl and Kelton, Daryl’s expression hardening while Kelton kept a calm one, and Adam took one of the corners.)
Alana Starr: And finally… TLA!!!
(The crowd is the loudest it can be as TLA’s name is said, “Ambitionz az a Ridah” by Tupac starts playing on the speakers, as TLA calmly walks out with his hands together and a big smile on his face, standing in the middle of the ramp and raising his arms up getting the crowd hyped up and embracing the love that he was getting.)
Eve: And we have our last competitor, TLA! He has been more successful over on Voltage, picking up the Hardcore Championship and defending it against all of the young and very talented Elitists, before he ended up getting ambushed at Road to Redemption and he lost that championship due La Familia and Roberto de la Rosa, and on that path, he ended up getting traded here to Showdown, he had a great performance at the Grand Rampage, and just like that, he is here again with one opportunity to fight at Pain for Pride for the Answers World Championship!
(TLA accepted some of the high fives and the fist bumps while he walked down, hopping onto the ring, and being in the mood to mess with the people there, he happily waved hello to all of his opponents and he entered inside the ring, Kelton, Adam and Daryl barely moving their expressions as TLA takes the last free corner, and as the music dies down, Alana quickly takes a step forward and speaks up.)
Alana Starr: Alright gentlemen, please, in this ring, I would like for all of you have to a calm conversation about the importance that a match like this carries-
Daryl Kinkade: Okay Alana we get it, please, let the big men talk for now.
(Alana blinks confused as Daryl takes the first step forward and speaks with conviction in the microphone.)
Daryl Kinkade: I am tired of all of you three believing that you are better than me just because of some measly wins that you got against me, when I have been trying to find myself after all of the losses that I took and pandering to the critics and towards the people that supposedly wanted to “help me”, and for once in probably my whole life, I might have to thank Rex one last time for actually being stupid enough to get in front of my way and making me back away from retiring, because seeing his stupid face laid down on the ground gasping for air is what revived the passion that I had, knocking down cunts like all of you down and proving all of you wrong about who I actually am, stack every kind of odd that you want against me, make it seem like as if I am the only option that can’t possibly win this match, those doubts, those slip ups, it is going to simply make me even stronger, and with Pain for Pride just around the corner, I am not going to let any of you take this away from me anymore, not again, this win belongs to nobody else but me-
Jon Kelton: Stop talking already.
(Kelton jumps in out of nowhere and he glares directly towards Daryl.)
Jon Kelton: I am tired of your continuous schtick of trying to prove you are something that you are not and then failing on that promise when it matters most, you disappoint people who finally want to put a shred of hope on you and then you kill that hope dead because it is almost like you are completely stuck with subconscious of being a complete loser, that is how much those words mean and I am going to say them straight into your a face, you are a bum, and I think everyone inside of the ring and out there in the crowd can truly believe in it, talk about becoming stronger all you want with Halsey and Pandora all by your side, everyone will soon come to realize that all you are doing is holding them down and worsening everything for them. But I also gotta thank you in a way for kicking me out of that group when you had the chance, because it made me realize the error of my ways going down the route that I took having to rely on other people the way that I did and never being able to fight my own battles, I have fucked up but not as much, and unlike you, I will be able to fix all of those mistakes and succeed the man that I believe I can be.
(Kelton and Daryl did not take away their eyes from each other as Adam quickly raised up his voice and turned towards Kelton.)
Adam Lucas: You know what, Kelton? It is very honorable the new way that you want to take after everything that has happened, too bad it took you getting your head smashed various times into the wall to realize that being in a group like Devolution was always going to end up being an incredibly horrible idea, and sure, let us commend once again towards Daryl, give him a golf clap for believing that doing the bare minimum is already one half of reaching stardom, might sound mean when I say those words but all I am being is realistic and saying the truth when it comes to it, I respect you a lot Kelton but it can not be ignored you took a stupid decision and we all know the mistakes Daryl takes by this point, you can say various times how this is going to be your time now and this is the chance that you deserve, but I am not going to let any of you push me away when I have already reached the position that the two of you really want and you have been fighting for, and I am going to do everything in my power to be on that position again, there is a reason why I have always been called the Next Level, because no matter what all you say, you are not on my le-
TLA: Alright, alright, tranquilo hermano, you are about to bust a vein, look at how red your face is speaking out that motivación!
(Adam slowly rolls his eyes when he ends up hearing TLA speak and he cracks a small grin as he starts speaking.)
TLA: You ain’t as motivated as La Pantera Sexual tho, this ain’t new news, not as new as Albuquerque, New MEXICOOOOOO! ORALE QUE TAL?!
(The crowd cheered incredibly loud when he mentioned New Mexico and then he nodded to himself with a smile as he continued speaking.)
TLA: Call me Heisenberg the way I be a Kingpin around here, obviously not on the sugar, on the Poon Department, to any federal agent watching this, mostly everything I say is a joke for legal purposes, don’t come knocking on my door 🙏… because you won’t get ready for the knocking on your head I am about to do when this vato kicks that culo! We ain’t scared of any fed or any kind of police trying to stop my fun! I be 1000 all of the time because being 100 ain’t enough! As well as I am not scared of any of the opponents that I am about to face come Fighting Spirit, Adam, my main man, the next level, the man who could not get up to my level last time we got on this ring, obviously, we cool, we chill despite the way that it ended, your face was as red as a hot chilli pepper and you got my shit kicked in, but I respect the way that you got back up, you got off hot from the cold loss I delivered to you and you got that championship, you became that campeón, just don’t mess with the gold that I am about to snatch from all of you at the end of this match! Kelton, calling in for that redemption, not letting that Devolution devolve him from being el mejor de los mejores, you just ain’t the best when it comes to it on the ring like this vato has done, you tryna become that hero for the people, that’s respeto right there after the Saturday Night Cartoon Villain phase you were on, but the ending of this episode gonna have Super TLA saving the day and getting all of the hot mamacitas! And Daryl…
(TLA cringes a bit and tugs at the collar of his suit while Daryl turns confused.)
Daryl: What?
TLA: That’s what people are gonna ask after you say you gonna win this match.
(The crowd cheers and laughs a bit after Daryl got baited right into that punchline and his expression is full of anger as he speaks up.)
Daryl Kinkade: You think you are so funny, bruv?!
TLA: I feel hilarious, vato!
Adam Lucas: I don’t like agreeing with Daryl but please, take things serious for once.
TLA: I be taking things very seriously, but it sadly ain’t my problem that you let a joke get to you.
Adam Lucas: Oh really?
Jon Kelton: I agree with that sentiment at least, Daryl is the one who is getting angry because he did fall right into that.
Daryl Kinkade: You will fall right into a knee to the jaw if you are not careful.
(Everyone suddenly started arguing between eachother and raising their voices as Alana finally decided to raise her voice up.)
Alana Starr: Gentlemen, GENTLEMEN! PLEASE, KEEP CALM AND DO NOT MAKE A MESS!
TLA: I am as chill as the North Pole, I am the one who told them to be tranquilo in the first place.
Alana Starr: Thank you for taking a GOOD initiative, TLA.
TLA: No problem, chiquita.
(Daryl turned to see TLA talking with Alana and he quickly saw an opportunity, so while Adam was distracted, Daryl grabbed him by his arm and pushed him right into TLA, as the two ended up bumping into each other! TLA stumbles over and he turns towards Adam, slightly annoyed.)
TLA: Hey hombre, I thought we were chill!
Adam Lucas: I did not bump into you, dude.
TLA: Hey, don’t take back las palabras now, if you want a fight, we can get a fight right now, gonna give you the exact same shape of L like last time.
Adam Lucas: …Fine, we can do it right here and now.
(ADAM THROWS THE FIRST SHOT RIGHT AT TLA’S FACE! TLA smiles and then he throws a punch back as the crowd started cheering loudly seeing the two men begin to brawl, as Jon Kelton rushed over to try and get between them.)
Jon Kelton: Wow, the two of you calm down, none of you did anything wro-
(ADAM HITS AN ELBOW STRIKE DIRECTLY TO KELTON AND TLA ENDS UP PUSHING HIM OUT OF THE WAY! Kelton shakes his head, as he grabs Adam by his shoulder, turns him over and strikes him across the face as well, and then hits a forearm strike directly to TLA! It devolved into a complete brawl by the three of the competitors while Alana was shouting at them to stop. Daryl meanwhile left the ring and hopped out, laughing to himself seeing that he started the brawl and he could see his opponents just explode and go at each other)
(The last shot is of TLA, Kelton and Adam continuing to brawl while Daryl walks up the ramp, enjoying the sight while Showdown goes to commercials.)
(The camera returns to the ring where Gina Romano is standing with a microphone in hand as she is ready to begin the introductions for the next match.)
Gina Romano: Ladies and gentlemen, this next contest has a TWENTY MINUTE TIME LIMIT AND IT IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!
(Golden smoke flows over the stage and ramp as “Betty (Get Money)!” by Yung Gravy plays. Clayton Golde emerges through the smoke with a girl, presumably paid, and gives her a kiss before he waves her away rudely. He then stops at the top of the ramp, spreads his arms wide, as a spotlight covers him. He basks in it for a moment before smirking and walking down to the ring.)
Gina Romano: Introducing first and making his way to the ring! From Romania. Weighing 210 pounds. Here is “THE GOSPEL” CLAYTON GOLDE!
Deadprez: Clayton Golde certainly knows how to make an entrance as he heads to the ring for singles action and he certainly had an event night last week with the debut of the Golde Label.
Gavin Kirkland: He showed that he was one of the best talk show hosts ever as his first guests on the Golde Label were The British Invasion. Oh Halsey and Pandora are so hot.
Eve: They made you kiss a dog, you weirdo. Anyways, Golde is going to need more than his cutesy little antics if he wants to prove himself and win this match because his opponent can be very dangerous.
(Golde enters the ring feeling very confident about himself as he takes his corner and his entrance music fades off. Seconds later, “Toxic” by Britney Spears starts to play as Madison Kaline enters the ring to jeers from the crowd. Madison could care less as she heads to the ring.)
Gina Romano: Introducing his opponent! From Tampa Bay, Florida! Weighing 120 pounds. Here is “THE MISTRESS OF DEATH” MADISON KALINE!
Gavin Kirkland: Here comes the lovely Madison Kaline. She’s kinda vicious and I kinda like it.
Eve: She showed that viciousness a few weeks ago in that Disneyland Street Fight. We saw her last week as she joined us for commentary for the first round match of her Invitational Worthless Rookie Tournament.
Deadprez: Don’t get it twisted. Madison Kaline is still a very vicious competitor who will rip anybody’s head off in a second. Tonight, she is looking to get back on the winning trail as she looks to beat Clayton Golde. Who will leave victorious? We are about to find out.
(Madison enters the ring and takes her respective corner as her entrance music fades off. The referee then checks both competitors before calling for the bell. )
(DING! DING! DING!)
Eve: Here we go! This match is underway and we look to be starting with a lockup, but Madison stops in her tracks. She is giving Clayton the once over AND SHE STARTS LAUGHING!
Deadprez: Madison is almost in hysterics wondering how Clayton could be considered a threat to her as she is a Hall of Famer, BUT CLAYTON DIDN’T LIKE THAT AS HE THROWS A JAB THAT CATCHES MADISON IN THE JAW!
Gavin Kirkland: DON’T BE HITTING THAT BEAUTIFUL WOMAN IN THE FACE! Clayton is just throwing jab after jab backing Madison into the ropes.
Deadprez: Clayton whips Madison to the other side. Madison rebounds AND CLAYTON CATCHES HER WITH AN ARM DRAG TAKING HER DOWN! Madison is back to her feet–
Eve: AND CLAYTON PICKS HER UP AND SLAMS HER TO THE MAT! Madison is down as Clayton hits the ropes before coming back and leaving his feet–
Gavin Kirkland: CLAYTON WENT FOR THE LEG DROP, BUT MADISON ROLLED OUT OF THE WAY AND CLAYTON FOUND NOTHING BUT THE CANVAS!
Eve: Madison is back to her feet as Clayton is trying to recover from the ugly landing AND SHE KICKS CLAYTON RIGHT IN THE SIDE OF THE HEAD! Madison has complete control of the match.
Deadprez: BUT AS CLAYTON WAS DOWN, HE HAD THE WITS ABOUT HIM TO GRAB MADISON AND PULL HER BACK INTO A SCHOOLBOY ROLLUP! Madison’s shoulders were down for a second, but she was able to kick out before a count was started.
Gavin Kirkland: Madison rolls back onto her feet AND SHE DELIVERS A DROPKICK TO CLAYTON’S FACE AS CLAYTON GETS TURNED INSIDE OUT!
Eve: Clayton was knocked to the ropes as Madison stands up and soaks in the boos from the crowd. Madison is starting to get a little cocky right now as she walks over to Clayton AND JUST SLAPS HIM IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD!
Deadprez: She feels like she is starting to put this rookie in his place as she treats him like garbage, BUT CLAYTON FROM OUT OF NOWHERE WITH A DOUBLE LEG TAKEDOWN SNAPS MADISON TO THE MAT!
Gavin Kirkland: Clayton is back on his feet as he still has hold of Madison’s legs as he swings her under the bottom rope BEFORE FALLING BACK AND CATCHING MADISON’S THROAT ON THE BOTTOM ROPE! MY POOR MADISON!
Deadprez: Decapitator by Clayton Golde has Madison rolling out onto the apron to catch a breather, BUT CLAYTON IS RIGHT THERE WITH A BASEBALL SLIDE DROPKICK KNOCKING MADISON OUT TO THE FLOOR IN FRONT OF US!
Eve: Madison is trying to get back on her feet as Clayton hits the ropes on the far side to build up momentum as he comes back with full force AS HE LAUNCHES HIMSELF OVER THE TOP ROPE–
Gavin Kirkland: NOOOO! TOPE CON HILO FROM CLAYTON SENDS MADISON CRASHING BACK TO THE FLOOR! OH MY BEAUTY! ARE YOU ALRIGHT? DO YOU NEED A MASSAGE?
Eve: You can just stay right here and call the match. Clayton is up and he is taking a moment to showboat to the ground and soak in the satisfaction that he has the advantage over a Hall of Famer!
Deadprez: Neither of these two are the most popular on Showdown, but Clayton being the gentleman that he is, grabs Madison by the hair and drags her back over to the ring AND SMASHES HER FACE INTO THE RING APRON!
Gavin Kirkland: That’s a Hall of Fame level face, you’re beating on! Thankfully, Clayton rolls Madison back into the ring before following suit. Clayton brings Madison to her feet again–
Eve: BEFORE PICKING HER UP AND DROPPING HER WITH A TEARDROP SUPLEX! Madison lands on the back of her head and neck as Clayton quickly drops down into the cover!
ONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOO!
THH–
Deadprez: MADISON KICKS OUT AT TWO! Clayton isn’t too worried as he stands up and is once again crowing to the crowd. This is a rookie mistake that will cost him if he isn’t careful.
Gavin Kirkland: Clayton turns his attention back to Madison and starts to bring her up, BUT MADISON IS ABLE TO COUNTER WITH A JAWBREAKER!
Deadprez: Clayton wasted too much time as Madison is able to counter. Madison wraps her arms around Clayton and uses enough power and momentum as she can–
Eve: MADISON LIFTS HIM UP AND PLANTS CLAYTON WITH A BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX! AMAZING POWER SHOWN BY MADISON KALINE!
Gavin Kirkland: Smart, Sexy, and Powerful. That’s just three of the reasons why Madison Kaline is so amazing. I am glad that Madison is here right now.
Eve: Of course you are happy about that. You would be happy if any of the ladies on the roster were in the ring, you deranged pervert.
Deadprez: As we go back to the match, Madison is on the top rope as Clayton is getting back to his feet. Clayton is up–
Gavin Kirkland: MADISON JUMPS OFF THE TOP ROPE AND CATCHES CLAYTON WITH A CROSSBODY, BUT CLAYTON IS ABLE TO USE THE MOMENTUM IN HIS FAVOR AND ROLL THROUGH THE CROSSBODY!
Eve: Madison is still in Clayton’s grasp AND CLAYTON SPINS HER OUT BACK ONTO HER FEET BEFORE HOOKING HER ARMS AND TAKING HER OVER WITH A BUTTERFLY SUPLEX!
Deadprez: Nice counter by Clayton as Madison is back to her feet AND SHE RUNS IN FOR A CLOTHESLINE, BUT CLAYTON PICKS HER UP AND DROPS HER WITH A ONE MAN FLAPJACK!
Gavin Kirkland: Madison’s poor face could have been hurt after that move. I really think I should go and check on her… but I think I can wait because Clayton brings her back on her feet before he runs to the ropes.
Deadprez: Clayton comes back off the ropes AND CATCHES MADISON WITH A KNEE LIFT! MADISON IS STILL ON HER FEET AS SHE STUMBLES BACK INTO THE CORNER!
Eve: Clayton runs to the corner AND CLOBBERS HER WITH A CLOTHESLINE! Clayton then grabs Madison’s head and runs out of the corner–
Gavin Kirkland: MADISON PLANTED FACE FIRST OFF THE BULLDOG! Clayton still has hold of Madison and brings her back up and sends her into the corner again.
Eve: Clayton lets out a yell of “ONE MORE TIME” as he runs to the corner AND CLOTHESLINES MADISON AGAIN! Clayton has the headlock as he comes running out of the corner. CLAYTON IS LOOKING FOR ANOTHER BULLDOG-
Deadprez: BUT MADISON SHOVES CLAYTON OFF BEFORE HE CAN EXECUTE THE BULLDOG! Clayton turns around AND MADISON CATCHES CLAYTON THE SIDE OF THE HEAD WITH A KICK!
Gavin Kirkland: Clayton is on spaghetti legs as Madison backs up enough so she can gain some momentum BEFORE SHE RUNS BACK TO CLAYTON AT FULL SPEED–
Eve: SPEAR BY MADISON KALINE! SHE HAD TO USE ALL OF HER WEIGHT AND MOMENTUM AND PUT IT INTO THAT SPEAR AND SHE TAKES CLAYTON DOWN!
Deadprez: Clayton is down and Madison looks to take advantage of the situation as she drags Clayton with all her might over to the corner before she climbs up to the top rope.
Gavin Kirkland: Madison doesn’t fly very often, but when she does, you know she is looking to hit a very high impact move in the hopes of ending the match.
Deadprez: Madison is on the top rope and doesn’t waste a second as she JUMPS OFF THE TOP ROPE AND HITS A PICTURE PERFECT MOONSAULT! DIRECT HIT WITH THE “MADDIE BOMB”!
Eve: SHE GOT ALL OF THE MOONSAULT AND SHE DOESN’T WASTE ANY TIME AS SHE GETS IN POSITION AND HOOKS THE LEG FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHHRRRRRRRREEE!
Gavin Kirkland: CLAYTON GOT THE SHOULDER UP! CLAYTON KICKED OUT AT TWO AND THAT WAS A VERY CLOSE NEAR FALL FOR THE HALL OF FAMER! THE VERY BEAUTIFUL HALL OF FAMER!
Eve: You were doing so good and then you had to add that line in and ruin everything. You can be such an ass sometimes.
Deadprez: But the truth of the matter is that this has been a great match and Clayton has lasted a lot longer than people were gonna give him credit for. When you dig deeper and past the egotistical manner and that braggadocious demeanor, he is a capable competitor.
Gavin Kirkland: But why does it have to be against a lovely lady like Madison Kaline? Couldn’t there be another competitor he could be accomplishing this against?
Eve: Said lovely lady is also a Hall of Fame level competitor who can beat the hell out of anybody at a moment’s notice. She is not happy that Clayton kicked out.
Deadprez: You aren’t kidding. Madison has mounted Clayton AND SHE IS JUST PUNCHING THE EVER LOVING CRAP OUT OF CLAYTON!
Gavin Kirkland: The last thing you want to do is to make Madison Kaline mad. She is just going ballistic on Clayton. Clayton is trying to block as many of the shots as he can.
Eve: The referee has allowed a little flexibility, but now the referee has no choice but to start a count to force Madison to open those closed fists.
Deadprez: Madison opens up on four or she would have been disqualified on five. Madison is not in the best of moods for the fact that her opposition will just not stay down.
Gavin Kirkland: I love seeing that fire inside her come out for everybody to see. I am feeling hot myself. I need some water.
Eve: You need a lot more than that, you sick bastard. Right now, Clayton is still down AND MADISON RUNS OVER TO THE ROPES BEFORE JUMPING ON THE SECOND ROPE AND HITTING A BEAUTIFUL LIONSAULT BEFORE HOOKING THE LEG FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHHHRRRRRRREEEEE!
Deadprez: WAIT A SECOND! CLAYTON WAS ABLE TO TURN THE TABLE AND ROLL MADISON OVER FOR A MODIFIED INSIDE CRADLE! MADISON’S SHOULDERS ARE DOWN!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHHRRRRRREEEEEEEE!
Gavin Kirkland: WOOOOOOOOOO! MADISON WAS ABLE TO ROLL HER SHOULDER OFF THE MAT! BUT DAMN! THAT CLAYTON ABOUT STOLE THE MATCH RIGHT THERE
Eve: Madison was caught off guard with that reversal as she was back to her feet first. Clayton goes for a clothesline, THAT MADISON DUCKS
Gavin Kirkland: Madison is now behind Clayton as she wraps her arms around Clayton’s waist AND HE LIFTS HIM UP FOR A GERMAN SUPLEX–
Deadprez: CLAYTON WAS ABLE TO LAND ON HIS FEET! CLAYTON HITS THE ROPES BEFORE HE DUCKS THE MADISON CLOTHESLINE ATTEMPT AS HE HITS THE ROPES ON THE OTHER SIDE!
Gavin Kirkland: CLAYTON SPRINGS UP TO THE SECOND ROPE AND JUMPS BACK BEFORE GRABBING MADISON’S NECK AND DROPPING HER WITH “THE BRAND DEAL”
Deadprez: MADISON WAS SPIKED FACE FIRST INTO THE CANVAS AFTER THAT BEAUTIFUL SPRINGBOARD STUNNER! CLAYTON PULLS MADISON TO THE CENTER OF THE RING AND ROLLS HER OVER FOR THE COVER! LEGS ARE HOOKED!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!
THHHHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!
Eve: MADISON KICKS OUT AT TWO! WHAT A CLOSE NEAR FALL OFF THE SPRINGBOARD STUNNER AND CLAYTON CAN’T BELIEVE IT! WHAT A FIGHT FROM CLAYTON GOLDE!
Gavin Kirkland: Clayton thought he had the match won right there, but Madison still has some fight left in her as Clayton is back to his feet as he runs to the ropes.
Eve: CLAYTON COMES OFF THE ROPES RIGHT BACK TO MADISON AS LEAVES HIS FEET AS HE GOES FOR THE FIRST OF FIVE LEG DROPS FOR THE “GOLDE RUSH”–
Deadprez: NOBODY HOME OFF THE LEG DROP AS MADISON ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY AND CLAYTON FINDS NOTHING BUT THE CANVAS! NOT A PRETTY LANDING THAT CLAYTON HAD AND HE IS FEELING IT!
Gavin Kirkland: The Lovely Madison got away from that unharmed since Clayton couldn’t start the “Golde Rush” since he missed the first leg drop.
Deadprez: MADISON TAKES ADVANTAGE OF THE MISTAKE BY CLAYTON OFF THE MISSED LEG DROP AND STACKS CLAYTON UP FOR THE COVER! SHOULDERS ARE DOWN!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEE!
TWWWWWWWWWOOOOO!
Eve: LOOK AT MADISON! SHE JUST PUT HER FEET ON THE ROPES! NOT ONLY THAT, SHE HAS A GRIP ON CLAYTON’S TIGHTS! THE REFEREE DOESN’T SEE ANY OF IT
THHHHHRRRREEEEEEEEE!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(“Toxic” starts playing again as Madison quickly gets off of Clayton and just as quickly rolls out of the ring as Gina Romano announces the final decision of the match.)
Gina Romano: Here is your winner… MADISON KALINE!
Deadprez: In what can be considered a battle between rookie and Hall of Famer, both competitors really showed up and showed and showed out tonight. For lack of a better term, Madison stole the match right there, but Clayton had an amazing showing tonight.
Eve: It certainly was and it was the experience advantage and the deeper bag of tricks from Madison Kaline that gave her the edge as well as give her the victory.
(The referee raises Madison’s arm in victory as she looks at a stunned Clayton and offers a small laugh before she heads up the entrance ramp.)
Gavin Kirkland: It is always so great to see a beautiful and smart lady showing her stuff and showing why she has been as successful as she has been.
(Clayton gets off the mat and looks to the entrance ramp. He can’t believe what happened, but seconds later, the look on Clayton’s face goes from a look of shock to a look of being impressed.)
Eve: I guess it’s safe to say that Clayton isn’t too angry about what went down because look at how impressed Clayton is with what Madison did to get the one up on him.
(The look then changes from being impressed to almost being… aroused?!?)
Gavin Kirkland: Oh I know that look all too well. I think he enjoyed what Madison did more than he will admit. I think he liked it. I bet Clayton thinks that Madison is as hot as I think she is. Ohhh baby.
Eve: You’re sickening.
Deadprez: I might agree with you there. Clayton might not have won the match, but he certainly was excited about how the ending went down. This is going to be some interesting development, but once again we offer our congratulations to Madison Kaline on the victory here tonight.
(The final shot shows Madison finishing her celebration at the top of the entrance ramp before heading backstage before cutting to Clayton in the ring where he still has a look of attraction on his face. He licks his lips as he watches Madison leave ringside and the camera cuts elsewhere.)
(As the camera fades backstage, it has Adam Lucas pacing back and forth in the locker room, he is not happy about what happened earlier and knows that besides the huge match tonight, he also has to be prepared for the huge Fatal Four-Way match at Fighting Spirit next week. What is at stake? The opportunity to be in the Main Event at Pain For Pride. Adam is taping up his wrists, already in his wrestling gear, ready to team with Jon Kelton and TLA after what happened earlier against the very dangerous British Invasion. The door opens, he looks up and looks shocked at who enters his dressing room. He stands up…)
Adam Lucas: Bethany!?
(Voltage’s own Dr. Bethany Blue walks in in her casual street clothes, she was not expected there but she smiles, knowing what he is going through and the huge opportunity they both have, hers is tomorrow night while his is one week from tonight.)
Adam Lucas: What are you doing here?
Dr. Bethany Blue: I needed to talk to you, make sure that you understand how important what we both have in front of us is. I know that tonight you must team up with TLA and Jon Kelton, yet those two along with Daryl Kinkade are your opponents next week and they will do whatever they can to make sure you don’t get there 100%.
Adam Lucas: No, I don’t believe that. TLA is a competitor, he wants to beat the best. Jon Kelton has a lot to prove, so does Daryl, this is just as much about them as it is about me and….
(Bethany though cuts him off quickly.)
Dr. Bethany Blue: Adam! Cut stop it here, okay!? This whole mamby pamby approach is not going to work for me brother. Look, I love you more than anything on this planet, and you are my rock, but there comes a time when we leave our shit at home and not bring it to work, and when it comes to this business we need to make sure that our personal feelings aside do not get in the way of our common sense and right now you’re not using it. I know you do not want to hear this, but these guys are not your friends, they could care less what happens to you, understood?
(Adam seems to be frustrated and though she does make some sense and the way the show opened doesn’t exactly bode well for the way Adam thinks, he paces some, showing his frustrations before turning back toward Bethany.)
Adam Lucas: I know what you are saying, Beth, I really do, but this is about competition. You know that, same with your match tomorrow night. Four competitors that get to live a dream of Main Eventing Pain For Pride. We did it last year, we know what it is like, and the feeling is intoxicating, we want to get there again, but what happens, if we don’t? See, Beth, I like to keep it real, you know?
Dr. Bethany Blue: Real? Do you hear yourself right now? Real is Main Eventing Pain For Pride, THAT is real. Being able to go out there and win next week and me tomorrow night is REAL. We are never going to talk about IF this or IF that, NO! I AM going to win tomorrow night, you ARE going to win at Fighting Spirt. Fuck those three and the ones am going up against, Adam! This is not about friends here, look at it from my perspective, I know that you hate everything that I say and do to my opponents, but it works. It is a dog eat dog world out there and it is about damn time that you start realizing that!
Adam Lucas: Beth! You need to listen to yourself! I am a wrestler! A competitor and a….
(SLAP!)
(Adam is shocked that Bethany slapped him, he just stares at her as she seethes in anger.)
Dr. Bethany Blue: I am NOT going to hear this bullshit anymore, Adam! Yes, you are a wrestler! Yes you are a competitor! But do you want to know what else you and I are? WINNERS! So, I DON’T CARE WHAT IT TAKES OR WHAT HAS TO BE DONE…. YOU GO OUT THERE AND WIN!
(She doesn’t say another word, instead she turns and walks off leaving Adam rubbing his cheek from the slap, but something snapped in him, that maybe… just maybe…. She is right. As it fades to another part of the arena.)
(Showdown would come back as we opened up on the office of the Showdown GM, Kennedy Street! She stood there, a firm smirk across her face.)
Kennedy Street: Ladies and gentlemen, we are nearing the most exciting time of the year. A time where panic sets upon the roster of Elitists. And it’s understandable, being apart of Pain For Pride is emotional, don’t you want to be remembered? Winning at Pain For Pride is pivotal for a whole bunch of Elitists. I know that many of them are probably guaranteed willing to risk it all and throw it all away, friendships, family.. Just for that one circumstantial match at Pain For Pride. But fortunately for two Showdown Elitists, they won’t have too worry all much. Because Cash In The Vault is one of EAW’s most important and landmark matches on Pain For Pride. I shouldn’t really have to say much else, because if you pay attention, you know what all that match can do. It can morph and change the career of the person who wins it, entirely! So.. with that being said in two weeks on Super Showdown there will be two qualifying triple threat matches, with the winners getting to involve themselves in the Pain For Pride event!
(Kennedy said all hyped, as she smiled at the camera.)
Kennedy Street: So, huge opportunities for Elitists to show me why they belong and should be in that triple threat, Showdown Elitists have 3 shows to truly create motion and build a case behind themselves for this match!
(Suddenly, as Kennedy said that the door swung open, almost connecting with her words, she was slightly startled.. Her attention looked up at none other than; Damien Kutcher. He walked in shutting the door behind him.)
Damien Kutcher: Kennedy! Just the woman that I wanted to see. Have I ever mentioned how I have listened into some interesting conversations in my life?
Kennedy Street: Oh really hm? You using that to mask the fact that you were standing outside my door, and heard everything?
(Damien had been caught, and it was obvious that was the case. But he just tried his hardest to play it off cool and nonchalant.)
Damien Kutcher: No….. well… Look. I can’t name a more perfect individual that fits the bill in one of those triple threats other than well, yours truly. You get what I am saying? I have been putting in the work, and what a better reward for you and myself, than involving me there.
Kennedy Street: Hm, putting in the work and getting the job done, you believe you have what it takes for that, yes?
Damien Kutcher: I do. I absolutely do. I believe that with the given opportunity, Cash In The Vault would be a piece of cake for me, holding that briefcase up, knowing that I have the perfect and dream opportunity resting in the palm of my hands. Don’t you get what I am saying now?
Kennedy Street: Yeah, I get what you are saying. You have the perfect opportunity resting in your hands, just like you did at Grand Rampage when you defeated Michael Machina and brought the championship to Showdown.
(Damn. He had been caught there, he was a little offended but..)
Damien Kutcher: That wasn’t my night, and it was a little rough. But you gotta heave my promise, you won’t see me laying down like that ever again. I am not going back to thar place, and being the man that I was at Grand Rampage. I am not lying to you, Kennedy. I understand opportunity. If I get another opportunity I will do everything in my power to make sure that I succeed.
Kennedy Street: Look Damien, I respect it. I appreciate and admire your drive and tenacity.. I don’t know how to really put it but, risk is huge in situations like these. The risk matters so much more, and it might be the reason for suffering. I have a lot on my plate, and look. This isn’t just some random match on a marquee event in the back end of 2024, this is PAIN FOR PRIDE. This is Cash In The Vault. Legacy for this match is beyond what anyone can comprehend. Again, I respect your tenacity. But I have to look at everyone here, and I can’t show bias. I have to base performances, and at the end of the day, what it comes down towards, Damien.. It’s my call.
Damien Kutcher: I get it, I get it. It’s your call.
(Damien looked down, nodding his head. Kennedy realized he was starting to understand as she nodded.)
Kennedy Street: Perfect, you will be a strong contender if you can have good performan-
(Suddenly Damien got closer to her, as he was leaning over the table looking directly at her with a gaze. The moment was very tension heavy, as she looked at him confused.)
Kennedy Street: Damien, what are you doing…?
(Damien looked at her, brushing her hair, Kennedy remained confused.)
Kennedy Street: Damien, come on now, let’s be professional here-
(Damien would kiss her with a very lengthy kiss, he was holding that for a good few seconds, at first it took Kennedy by surprise, but the more the kiss went on, she started to lean into it and enjoy it. After a lengthy period of time, the two had to breathe again, seperating the kiss. Kennedy was gasping heavily as she was getting herself composed, while Damien glared at her.)
Damien Kutcher: I. Want. In.
(With that said, Damien turned around and went out. It was a shocking scene, but setting in her chair Kennedy just looked lost in outer space, thinking back to the kiss. Before she snapped back into reality all of a sudden.)
Kennedy Street: …..What the fuck just happened!?!?!?!
(Kennedy thought to herself as she was in shock, but then that shock turned into a smirk. An array of confusing emotions reigned in, as Showdown faded elsewhere.)
( ‘Toxic’ by Britney Spears is heard playing as the camera pans over to Madison Kaline already seated at commentary, awaiting the start of this match. )
Gavin Kirkland: Welcome back to the booth, Madison! Last week we saw Auburn Ware advance, what’s your take on this week’s match-
Madison Kaline: All it has to do is interest me more than the last one, which is an incredibly low bar.
Gina Romano: The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
Gina Romano: AND IT IS A ROUND ONE MATCHUP IN THE MADISON KALINE INVITATIONAL WORTHLESS ROOKIE TOURNAMENT!
( Marry on a Cross’ by Ghost plays, and Hardcore Luna emerges from the backstage, happily tagging a ton of fans on her way to the ring. )
Gina Romano: Introducing first! From Diamond Head, Hawaii, weighing in at 141 pounds… DIVA OF VIOLENCE! HHHARRDDDCCCOOOREEEE LLLLUUUNNNAAAA!
Gavin Kirkland: Last week Hardcore Luna lost to ONE OF MY FAVS, USAGI SENSHI, but it was a great bout, she’s still got a ton of talent and is definitely headed places as a rookie!
Madison Kaline: If she doesn’t start picking up more wins, I have a place that she is definitely headed to. Unemployment. Are we really giving a loser credit here?
Deadprez: Gavin has a fair point! Luna is definitely someone you’re going to have to pay close attention to! Keep that in mind!
( ‘Bloodline’ by Northlane hits the PA systems and an agitated Daniella Atlas walks out. She looks far from happy by being placed into such a match, but she’s dead set on winning.. )
Gina Romano: Her opponent, weighing in at one hundred twenty-one pounds and from Dunkirk, France, ‘THE BLACK FLAME’ DANIELLA ATLAS!
Eve: Daniella Atlas is another promising Elitist here on Showdown! I find it very interesting that she’s in this, considering you both competed for the National Elite Championship at Grand Rampage, Madison.
Madison Kaline: Just because she competed for the championship doesn’t mean she’s exempt from being a worthless rookie. She didn’t win that match, did she?
Deadprez: Oh lawd. It’s about to be another week of this.
( DING DING DING! )
Eve: The bell rings and Atlas and Luna quickly circle around the ring, trying to get a feel of one another. They engage into a collar and elbow tie-up and Atlas quickly transitions to a side headlock. She applies it with deep pressure, and you can see Luna wincing out in pain.
Gavin Kirkland: But look at Luna slip free into a hammerlock! She wrenches on that hammerlock and Daniella groans. Atlas reaches behind Luna, pulling her over with a snapmare! Luna quickly rolls to her feet-
Deadprez: BUT ATLAS NAILS HER WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO THE CHEST! LUNA STAGGERS FROM THAT ONE, COMPLETELY CAUGHT OFF GUARD BY THE SPEED AND POWER OF THE BLACK FLAME!
Madison Kaline: Now that’s more of what I want to see! Some aggression! Urgency!
Eve: And now Atlas is pummeling Luna with repeated forearm strikes to the side of the head. Luna is stunned as Atlas quickly hits off the ropes, BUT LUNA FOLLOWS HER WITH A DROPKICK TO THE HEAD!
Gavin Kirkland: Atlas falls to a seated position against the ropes, and Luna quickly rises to her feet for another dropkick – but Atlas sidesteps it and she flies through the middle ropes! But Luna lands onto her feet, great agility!
Deadprez: At what cost? Because Atlas is up to her feet, and bounces off the ropes into a BASEBALL SLIDE! LUNA GETS SENT STRAIGHT INTO THE BARRICADE AND THAT WAS A NASTY THUD!
Eve: Atlas rolls out of the ring, booting Luna into the side of the head. She grabs her by the head and lifts for a vertical suplex, but Luna lands behind her! Luna firmly grabs onto the waist, wrenching onto it with as much power as possible! IS SHE GOING FOR A GERMAN SUPLEX ON THE FLOOR?!
Madison Kaline: Impress me, rookie. I’m waiting.
Deadprez: What do you mean impress her?! She’s about t– NO! Atlas elbows her repeatedly! Luna releases the hold, and Atlas spins, grabbing the waist and lifting her up for a NORTHERN LIGHTS SUPLEX ON THE FLOOR! THE BACK OF LUNA’S HEAD COLLIDES WITH THE FLOOR, REGARDLESS OF PADDING!
Madison Kaline: Now that’s what I like to see! I think Luna just got her bell rung! She’s not moving at all, and Atlas looks pleased! Maybe this rookie does have something…
Gavin Kirkland: Atlas drags Luna up and throws her into the ring. She slides in behind her and Luna is still writhing in pain, clutching at her head and back. Atlas isn’t going for a cover, she wants to dish out more punishment as she quickly pulls Luna up!
Eve: And she takes Luna’s head, HOISTING HER UPSIDE DOWN AND SPINNING INTO THE FALCON ARROW! STRAIGHT INTO THE COVER!
OOONNNEEEE!
TWWOOOOOO!
Deadprez: BUT LUNA GETS A SHOULDER UP! She’s definitely a fighter! But Atlas seems to have expected that. She’s a rookie but she’s definitely got a great ring IQ at her disposal.
Madison Kaline: She’s going to need more intangibles than just having a ring IQ. You know who else has a ring IQ? Managers. But so far, so good from Daniella Atlas.
Eve: That’s the closest we’ll get to something nice out of you, isn’t it?
Madison Kaline: I didn’t come here to be nice. I came here to be the most marketable superstar in EAW. The fact this tournament even exists IS me being nice.
Gavin Kirkland: Back to the action, as Atlas is stalking Luna up to her feet. Luna is still rubbing that back in pain as Atlas marches into a BICYCLE KICK – BUT LUNA SIDESTEPS IT! LUNA STANDS SIDE TO SID WITH ATLAS AND SWINGS INTO A HOOK KICK!
Deadprez: ATLAS IS STUNNED, AND LUNA FOLLOWS UP BY CLUTCHING THE WRISTS. SHE RIPCORDS HER OUT, ELBOW TO THE JAW! ATLAS GETS FLATTENED, AND LUNA MAKES THE COVER!
OOONNNEEEE!
TWWOOOOOO!
Eve: ATLAS GETS A SHOULDER UP! This one continues on! What’s your thoughts on that, Madison?
Madison Kaline: It was nice, but it didn’t get the job done. What more am I supposed to say?
Deadprez: Luna drags Atlas near the corner. She steps over her, taking the ropes and nodding her head. SHE LEAPS UP THE TOP ROPE, FOR A SPLIT LEGGED MOONSAU – ATLAS ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY!
Gavin Kirkland: She lands bad, but Luna is able to roll through to absorb the impact! Atlas quickly rises up! AND LUNA CHARGES IN! ATLAS IS WAITING AS SHE TOSSES HER WITH A BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX INTO THE TURNBUCKLES! OH MY GOD! WHAT A COLLISION! BUT ATLAS ISN’T DONE!
Eve: Atlas quickly clamors up to her feet, taking Luna by the hair. She ducks behind and takes the arms, HOISTING HER UP! TIGER SUPLEX! AND SHE BRIDGES IT! THE BACK OF LUNA’S HEAD COLLIDES WITH THE MAT!
OOONNNEEEE!
TWWOOOOOO!
T-
Deadprez: BUT LUNA IS ABLE TO ELEVATE HER SHOULDER OFF THE CANVAS EVEN IN THE DOUBLE UNDERHOOK! AN EXTREMELY CLOSE CALL, AND ATLAS DOESN’T SEEM PLEASED WITH IT!
Madison Kaline: How is this one still going?! Come on, now!
Eve: And Atlas holds onto Luna’s arms! She deadlifts her up, holding onto the arms! The double underhook is still locked in and SHE LIFTS HER UP FOR ANOTHER TIGER SUPELX – NO! LUNA WRAPS HER LEGS AROUND ATLAS’S WAIST AND PULLS HER DOWN INTO A VICTORY ROLL!
OOONNNEEEE!
TWWOOOOOO!
Deadprez: Atlas kicks out, but Luna is waiting for her! Atlas starts to sit up – and LUNA CRACKS HER WITH A SUPERKICK TO THE JAW! ATLAS FALLS TO THE MAT, AND LUNA STAGERS INTO THE ROPES, USING THEM TO STAY UP!
Gavin Kirkland: This is a prime opportunity for Luna right now! Atlas has no idea where she’s at and you can tell! Atlas rolls over to her knees, struggling. Luna points to her, nodding. AND SHE HITS THE ROPES, CHARGING INTO THE ENZUI BLADE KICK!
Eve: THE BACK OF ATLAS’S HEAD GETS PUMMELED! Luna rises up, and pulls Atlas up again! She turns her around into an inverted facelock and hoists her up! ELEVATED SPINNING REVERSE DDT! WHAT A MOVE!
Deadprez: Atlas is out and Luna looks for the cover, but Atlas is wise enough to roll onto her stomach! And now Luna rolls her again, but Atlas keeps rolling- to the ropes! Luna is agitated, because she just let a huge opportunity slip out of her hands!
Madison Kaline: Okay, okay, that was very smart. Atlas may have been close to losing there but she averted danger and she’s completely gone to the ropes.
Eve: Luna approaches Atlas, who’s now rolled to the apron. Luna grabs Atlas by the head– but Atlas comes back to life and YANKS HER DOWN WITH A HOT SHOT! LUNA’S THROAT GETS SNAPPED INTO THE TOP ROPE! AND SHE STUMBLES AWAY, COUGHING OUT IN PAIN!
Deadprez: The referee is tending to Luna, who’s struggling to breathe! Atlas quickly enters the ring, AND CHARGES INTO A SPINNING BACK ELBOW! THE SOUND OF THAT WAS ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING AS LUNA FLOPS SIDEWAYS TO THE MAT!
Gavin Kirkland: Atlas drags Luna back up, jamming her head into her thighs. Is she going for a power- NOPE! LUNA REVERSES WITH A BACK BODY DROP! Atlas holds her back in pain, and Luna is struggling to figure out what she can pull out now!
Eve: Atlas uses the ropes to rise. Luna sees her and hits the ropes for a KICK TO THE – ATLAS ROLLS UNDER! LUNA TURNS AROUND AND ATLAS HANDSTANDS INTO A SCORPION KICK! LUNA BOUNCES OFF THE ROPES AS ATLAS IS RETURNING TO HER FEET, AND THROWS A ROUNDHOUSE KICK OF HER OWN!
Deadprez: WHAT A KICK! ATLAS IS ON WOBBLY LEGS NOW! Luna is throwing repeated elbows to the head! Throwing them full force! She bounces off the ropes for a KNEE LIFT- BUT ATLAS CATCHES THE LEG!
Madison Kaline: But what is she gonna do with it! SWEEP HER OUT! SHE’S ONLY GOT ONE LEG!
Eve: I think Atlas heard you, because that’s exactly what she tries to do, but LUNA WRAPS HER HANDS AROUND ATLAS’S HEAD AND LEAPS INTO A KNEE TO THE FACE! ATLAS GOES DOWN AND LUNA DOES TOO!
Madison Kaline: She heard me but she didn’t act on it! And now both women are hurt! Who the hell is going to take advantage and finally wrap this thing up?!
Deadprez: So far, it looks like Luna! Luna rises to her feet, feeling amped up. Atlas is nursing her mouth and nose, trying to figure out what on earth just happened to her. Atlas slowly rises, AND LUNA HITS THE ROPES!
Eve: SHE’S GOING FOR IT! ATLAS TURNS JUST IN TIME – BUT IT’S TOO LATE! ‘LADY CASTIEL’ CONNECTS! THE ELBOW CRACKS ATLAS! AND LUNA MAKES THE COVER! SHE’S LOOKING FOR THE END HERE!
OOONNNEEEE!
TWWOOOOOO!
TH–
Gavin Kirkland: DANIELLA ATLAS KICKS OUT! ATLAS KICKS OUT! WOW! AND LUNA’S REACTION IS PRICELESS! SHE’S HUNGRY FOR THAT WIN BUT IT’S JUST NOT ENOUGH! Luna runs her hands through her hair, trying to figure out what she has to do in order to win this one!
Deadprez: Atlas isn’t even moving after that one! That was all muscle memory! Luna stands up and reaches down for Atlas. She pulls her up, but Atlas pulls her up with a jawbreaker!
Madison Kaline: I really do appreciate that she just pulls a counter against Luna from out of complete nowhere! It’s one of her very few redeeming factors!
Eve: What’s your issue with Daniella Atlas?! You seem pretty split on how to feel about her right now.
Madison Kaline: She’s a lot better than Auburn Ware. I can give you that much.
Deadprez: Luna is holding at her jaw in pain while Atlas rises to her feet, and she leaps into an enzuigiri! Luna is stunned and Atlas takes the waist, BUT LUNA SPINS BEHIND QUICKLY OUT OF NOWHERE!
Gavin Kirkland: LUNA PLACES HER HEAD UNDER ATLAS’S ARM AND TRANSITIONS THE GRIP. SHE LIFTS HER UP! SHEER DROP BACK SUPLEX! RIGHT ONTO ATLAS’S NECK! OH MY GOD! IS SHE EVEN MOVING?!
Eve: IT DOESN’T SEEM LIKE IT! But Atlas can’t capitalize to the cover! She’s hurt, and exhausted! Atlas is laid out as well and the crowd have no choice but to stand up and give these two a great standing ovation for the work they’ve put in so far!
Madison Kaline: What are they cheering for?! This one isn’t even over! I should stand up and start booing, but I have more than enough dignity to not look or sound like a clown like they are!
Deadprez: You’ve always got something to say! Let’s just focus on the great bout we’re having. Luna is slowly rising up to her feet and Atlas is still down. Luna nudges Atlas into the drop zone as she points to the top rope!
Eve: Luna takes the ropes, slowly climbing up! SHE’S LOOKING FOR THE ‘EXOTIC EXHIBITION’, BUT ATLAS QUICKLY RISES TO HER FEET AND LEAPS INTO A SPINNING HEEL KICK TO THE BACK OF LUNA! LUNA YELPS OUT IN PAIN!
Gavin Kirkland: Atlas rises to her feet and climbs the middle rope. She elbows Luna in the back! She elbows her in the back of the head! Luna goes from the middle rope, TO THE TOP ROPE as she stands up there with Luna! She wraps her arm around the back of her head and grabs onto her trunks for support..
Madison Kaline: Don’t do something stupid, it’ll cost you the tournament victory of a lifetime.
Deadprez: I don’t think I’ve ever seen this from her! The two stand at the absolute top, AS ATLAS LIFTS LUNA UP AND YANKS HER OFF THE TOP ROPE WITH A SUPER BACK SUPLEX!
Eve: OH MY! NO! LUNA FLOATS OVER INTO A SUPER CROSSBODY IN MID-AIR! ATLAS GETS FLATTENED, AND LUNA HOLDS ONTO THE LEGS, FOR A COVER!
Madison Kaline: JUST WHAT I SAID! DON’T DO SOMETING STUPID!
OOONNNEEEE!
TWWOOOOOO!
THREEEEEEEEEEE!
Deadprez: ATLAS GETS HER SHOULDER UP AT THE LAST SECOND! WHAT A CLOSE CALL! SHE ALMOST LOST THAT ONE! Luna slaps the mat, quickly rising up to her feet!
Eve: I don’t think Atlas has an idea where she’s at right now! That backfired horribly for her! Luna drags her up by the hair and points to the top rope! SHE WANTS THE ‘ENDSHIP’, LUNA RUNS UP THE MIDDLE ROPE, THEN TOP ROPE AND FLIES OFF INTO THE SUNSET FLIP!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT AS SHE HITS THE MAT, GOING FOR THE LEGS, ATLAS LEAPS INTO A DOUBLE FOOT STOMP TO THE CHEST! LUNA HOLDS HER CHEST, WHEEZING IN PAIN! THAT WAS A MAJOR MISTAKE!
Madison Kaline: Who taught her that move and why?! That was a huge mistake!
Eve: Atlas quickly rises up to her feet! She drags up Luna, taking her into a wrist clutch! AND SHE RIPCORDS HER OUT! INAMORATA! LUNA GETS TURNED INSIDE OUT! BUT ATLAS ISN’T DONE!
Gavin Kirkland: WHAT DO YOU MEAN SHE ISN’T DONE!
Madison Kaline: She’s not done, idiot! And I don’t blame her! Secure the victory! Screw it, I’ll do your job for you! Atlas pulls up Luna by the hair and she bounces off the ropes for ANOTHER INAMORATA. BEAUTIFUL EXECUTION.
Deadprez: Luna got turned inside out off of that! And I think we’re nearing the end of this one! Atlas clearly thinks so! She rolls Luna over and hooks the legs, calling for the referee to count along!
OOONNNEEEE!
TWWOOOOOO!
THREEEEEEE!
Eve: NO! HARDCORE LUNA SOMEHOW KICKS OUT! I GUESS SHE TRULY IS ‘HARDCORE’, BECAUSE HOW DO YOU KICK OUT OF TWO LARIATS IN A ROW! ATLAS IS FRUSTRATED, NOW! SHE SLAPS THE MAT!
Gavin Kirkland: And typically she’s pretty good at trying not to show her anger! But now she’s raging at the referee! This match has taken a complete 180 from what she wanted! And Luna is struggling, trying to get up to her feet, but everytime she gets up, she falls over!
Deadprez: Atlas backs into the corner. She pulls on the ropes, stretching forward as she awaits the rise of Luna… LUNA IS UP TO HER FEET, AND I CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHAT COMES NOW!
Eve: ATLAS CHARGES IN AT FULL SPEED, ‘LIKE CLOCK– LUNA FALLS OUT OF THE WAY FROM EXHAUSTION! ATLAS FALLS RIGHT ONTO HER BACK! SHE YELLS OUT IN PAIN, ROLLING OVER SO SHE DOESN’T HAVE TO LAY ON IT-
Gavin Kirkland: BUT LUNA RISES RIGHT BACK UP! SHE DIDN’T FALL FROM EXHAUSTION, SHE’S PLAYING POSSUM AND NOW IT’S COMING TO HER ADVANTAGE!
Madison Kaline: Smart play, I’ll admit!
Deadprez: LUNA RUNS UP THE BACK OF ATLAS, FORCING ATLAS TO SCREECH INTO PAIN AS SHE ROTATES INTO A MOONSAULT, THE ‘STEP-SPLASH’ CONNECTS! WHAT AN EXECUTION! ATLAS IS FLATTENED!
Eve: She continues to hold at her back, but it doesn’t matter because LUNA ROLLS HER OVER AND HOOKS THE LEGS! COULD WE BE SEEING THIS UPSET RIGHT NOW?!
OOONNNEEEE!
TWWOOOOOO!
THREEEEEEEE-
Gavin Kirkland: THIS ONE CONTINUES ON! DANIELLA ATLAS GETS A SHOULDER UP! I CAN’T BELIEVE IT! THESE TWO ARE GOING FULL FORCE FOR YOU, MADISON!
Madison Kaline: What can I say? That’s simply just the kind of influence that I have over these young women!
Eve: Luna rises up to her feet. She grabs Atlas by the hair and throws her to the ropes! ‘TOUR TO HONOLULU–’ ATLAS PULLS LUNA DOWN WITH A JUDO THROW IN MID AIR!
Deadprez: GOODNESS! I think Luna is starstruck from that one and so am I! She rises up, to the best of her ability.. AND ATLAS WAS AWAITING HER! ‘LIKE CLOCKWORK’ CONNECTS! WHAT A VICIOUS BUSAIKU KNEE STRIKE! THAT SOUNDED LIKE A DAMN SHOTGUN!
Gavin Kirkland: AND ATLAS WANTS TO END THIS ONE, SHE CRAWLS OVER AND MAKES THE COVER AGAIN! THAT’S GOTTA BE IT!
OOONNNEEEE!
TWWOOOOOO!
THREEEEEEEEEEEE–
Eve: OH! LUNA KICKS OUT AGAIN! AND ATLAS HAS A THOUSAND YARD STARE… LUNA RAISES HER FIST INTO THE AIR, SLIGHTLY PUMPING HER FIST. SHE ROLLS OVER, STARTING TO SHOW SIGNS OF LIFE!
Madison Kaline: Am I seeing things?!
Gavin Kirkland: NO! HARDCORE LUNA IS STILL IN THIS ONE! AND SHE’S WORKING HER WAY UP! SHE’S READY TO KEEP FIGHTING! AND ATLAS…
Deadprez: …CONNECTS WITH THE ‘BLACK DEATH!’ DISCUS ELBOW TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD! LUNA GOES DOWN, AND ATLAS ROLLS HER OVER!
OOONNEEEE!
TWWOOOOOO!
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
( DING DING DING! )
Gina Romano: HERE IS YOUR WINNER!… DANIELLA ATLAS!
( ‘Bloodline’ by Northlane plays and any noise the crowd was making for Hardcore Luna dies down as Atlas is the winner of this match. Daniella Atlas has her arm raised by the referee and snaps it away as she steps out of the ring. At the apron, she stares down Madison, but walks down to the steps and walks off. )
Eve: Daniella Atlas may not be pleased being in this tournament but the way I see it, she’s definitely a favorite to win! Great performance for her, as she had something better for everything Luna brought to the table.
Madison Kaline: Hahaha! And you fools all thought that Luna was going to make some sort of comeback! I won’t give the rookie too much credit, I would’ve ended that one much sooner.
Deadprez: Sure. It’s always something new with you, but we do appreciate your time at the booth tonight, Madison! That was a fantastic match!
Gavin Kirkland: Be sure to come back next week, please!
( Luna is helped to the back, still trying her best to recover after a tough loss. She shakes her head, upset at herself for falling short. )
(Somewhere up in the rafters of the arena, we find Caroline staring down at the sold out Pit at the University of Albuquerque, New Mexico. The beautiful and deadly Caroling just sits quietly dressed in all red, her eyes though turn to the camera.)
Caroline: You are probably wondering, why is Caroline not down there competing. Oh no, see, that would be too easy. Instead, I sit here listening very carefully to those who choose and speak out of turn, the ones that like to make stories of fiction, create their own little moments at my expense, then pretend to know my ire and desires. It doesn’t work that way, can’t you see that some people were made to serve, others to lead, and in this crazy and dark world of the macabre, what master do you think I serve?
(She cracks a smile before letting out a slight menacing giggle.)
Caroline: No one. For what I see this high are ants, scurrying along trying to find their holes to crawl in, just like every Elitist in this company searching long and hard for some spot in Orlando at Pain For Pride. Let’s be real here for a moment shall we, the path to greatness is a long and arduous one, isn’t it? As we look for some sort of meaning, and they ask, what about Caroline? Here I sit, with the scars of the burns on my body, still smoking like a fresh put out fire, is it now my time to search for what will be my moment of Pain and Pride?
(Closing her eyes for a moment, she takes a second to bow her head, before slowly raising her head back up, blue eyes open as she glares into the camera.)
Caroline: And so, with everything that has happened, I could go after Adam Lucas. I could search for the head of JUST Bethany. Maybe even find someone new to play with, but instead I have already found who I want in Orlando. Patience is key, and a wise person once said, virtue or vice, your needs are that of your own. And it will only be a matter of time before I reveal myself to the Elitist that I will challenge and let them know that their road to Pain For Pride rides through the abyss.
(Her eyes slowly turn, glaring down at the arena, before she then turns back to speak softly…)
Caroline: But shhh… we are not going to let out any secrets just yet. Instead, Caroline watches with intent, looking over all of Showdown as the weeks and months come to a halting end of the Season 17th. I will leave one last message, and that is soon, very soon I will present myself to the person that I will challenge and bring with me to the darkness. The sands of the hourglass slowly fall and with it comes your demise. Welcome to my suffering.
(Caroline slowly cracks a smile before it turns dark and fades ringside.)
(Showdown would soon come back from elsewhere, as we could hear from commentary.)
Deadprez: Caroline eagerly lurks in the shadows and watches… and you gotta do a whole lot of this on the road to Pain For Pride. Watching everyone, because if anyone wants an opportunity? And you see a launching pad for yourself, you jump and you take it.
Eve: No doubt about it, so many Elitists are treading towards Pain For Pride, and it is guaranteed that nearly every single one of them want that lucrative victory that they didn’t have the year before…!
Gavin Kirkland: That is the absolute truth!! and on the road to Pain For Pride, you are gonna find yourself rubbing elbows with the strangest of people, people that want opportunity just as much as you do–
(CRASH!)
Gavin Kirkland: What was that??
(The camera would cue the titantron, as the camera man would be seen following the noise of where that commotion came from, as he pulled up to see– KIRK REDWOOD SLAM TERRY CHAMBERS AGAINST A WALL! A brawl had spewed out, between the two backstage, and that was the source of the commotion. Terry Chambers was thrown abroad by the attack, as he was blindsided from a feisty and angry Kirk Redwood, running and controlled on absolute pure emotion, AS HE SLAMMED TERRY CHAMBERS INTO THE WALL AGAIN!)
Kirk Redwood: I am tired of the way things have gone, and I am not gonna sit here and allow myself to be a victim of circumstances time and time again.
(KIRK SLAMMED HIM AGAINST THE WALL AGAIN! Terry Chambers was already in a rough situation now as multiple people started witnessing the action, Kirk Redwood grabbed the back of Terry Chambers head.. as he began to carry him throughout the backstage area, both men traveling and traversing. Until Kirk would stop.)
Kirk Redwood: I am gonna prove a point..
(KIRK REDWOOD THREW TERRY CHAMBERS INTO A WALL– NO! TERRY WOULD COUNTER, AS HE MANAGED TO SHIFT HIS MOMENTUM AND SEND KIRK REDWOOD FLYING AGAINST THE WALL WITH ALL HIS WEIGHT SHIFTED! Kirk Redwood made a full momentum smash against the wall, and the way he currently felt was terrible. However, Terry Chambers took that time and opportunity to really recollect himself. Before he would grab Kirk Redwood again.. AND CHUCK HIM AGAINST THE WALL AGAIN! Kirk Redwood bounced against the wall…)
Terry Chambers: I don’t give a damn about your problems.
(Terry Chambers grabbed a nearby storage crate.. AND CHUCKED IT AT KIRK REDWOOD! But Kirk would catch it and stop it in place, but with that quick momentum providing itself… HE SLAMMED KIRK REDWOOD FACE FIRST ONTO THE CRATE!! Kirk Redwood held his eye, after he was slammed onto the crate, and before this, Terry Chambers was about to go about his business, but he felt the need to fight back now. Grabbing Kirk Redwood by the back of the head, he began dragging him throughout the area.)
Terry Chambers: I had other priorities and business I wanted to move towards, do you think I am some sort of charity case and hand out? You aren’t pillaging anything off of me, and you’re barking yourself into business you don’t belong in… But I’ll take kindly to ending your pathetic excuse of a career.
(With that said, Terry Chambers carried him off with nothing more than sheer malicious intent in his eyes. He grabbed and pushed him up against a wall, as he was looking for the– “RANDOM ACT OF VIOLENCE” AGAINST THE WALL, BUT BEFORE HE COULD DO THAT, WITH EVERY BIT OF MOMENTUM BACKING HIM, KIRK REDWOOD TACKLED TERRY CHAMBERS TO THE GROUND AND STARTED REIGNING DOWN ON HIM WITH PUNCHES! It was a consistent mirror between both men, punching one another, as they rolled around the floor, both maintaining dominance! Finally with that being said – Kirk Redwood rose up to his feet, looking to make the next play here, BUT TERRY CHAMBERS WOULD GET UP AND RAM HIM BACKWARDS INTO A DOOR WITH ALL OF HIS WEIGHT, AS BOTH MEN SPEWED IN! Pure chaos everywhere. The camera followed both men into the door as it peered around… they were in… well, a very convenient place. The men’s locker room, both men were slamming each other around the walls. Terry Chambers had one chance, but then it would alternate, and Kirk Redwood would be on the onslaught! It was this continuous rhythmic pattern of them beating the shit out of each other. But all that chaos would come to a penultimate close, as they wrecked into somebody!)
(The person they wrecked into was less than happy, both men were temporarily separated after stumbling and breaking apart from the attack. But the two men started their fight back again… as they were once more throwing punch after punch… BEFORE THEY WERE BOTH CLOTHESLINED! The third party that was brought into this, being knocked over by them spoke..)
Scott Diamond: What was trying to be accomplished here?
(It was Scott Diamond? WHO JOINED THE BRAWL BETWEEN BOTH MEN, AS HE WAS PUSHED INTO THE LOCKER BY TERRY CHAMBERS. BUT KIRK REDWOOD CAME BEHIND HIM, AND BOTH MEN WERE BEATING ON THE BACK OF TERRY CHAMBERS! It was all chaos as the 3 men just proceeded to rip into each other, as Scott Diamond threw a big punch at the nose of Kirk Redwood which sent him back! He continued to hammer away at the back of Terry Chambers, as he chucked Terry into a locker… BUT HE WAS TACKLED DOWN BY KIRK REDWOOD! Kirk reigned on him with returning punches, but not long enough, as Terry Chambers pulled Kirk Redwood off him, and shoved him into a locker but– SUDDENLY OFFICIALS FINALLY INTERVENED!)
(Security filled the area pulling apart each man, as they were all spread apart now. The last shot was the sigh and expression of each man. Kirk Redwood who was angry, Scott Diamond was pissed and thrown off guard, and Terry Chambers who was angered at what just occurred.)
(The camera shifts to ringside for the next match.)
Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING MATCH IS SET FOR ONE-FALL!
(‘STFU!’ by Rina Sawayama begins to play as Miku Sikai skips out onto the stage. The crowd showers her with boos but she blows it off.)
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST…FROM FUKUI, JAPAN…WEIGHING IN AT 110 POUNDS…MIKKKUUUU SIKKKAAIII!
Raven Roberts: I feel that Albuquerque, I don’t like her either.
(Miku walks down to the ring and gives a cocky grin to Raven Roberts at the commentary booth. Raven seems far less interested in her, which seems to anger Miku. Suddenly, ‘STFU!’ is replaced by ‘KARATE’ by BABYMETAL and Miku’s attention moves towards the stage. KASAI walks out to cheers and boos combined, but the crowd clearly favors the Specialist’s Champion.)
Brianna Hill: This should be all boos, shouldn’t it?
Gina Romano: AND HER OPPONENT…FROM AMANI, KAGOSHIMA, JAPAN…WEIGHING IN AT 145 POUNDS…SHE IS THE ‘THE HUNTRESS’…KASAIIIII!
(She walks down to the ring looking right past Miku and right at Brianna Hill. She gets inside the ring and ignores Miku, continuing to lock eyes with Hill. Miku turns her around and gets in her face, looking to get her attention. The ref pulls them away from each other and calls for the bell.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Eve: That’s the bell and away we go here! These two talented joshi wrestlers are about to put on a classic for us! Miku doesn’t waste any time rushing towards her opponent and looking for a running knee! Kasai is easily able to avoid it! She drives a knee right into the stomach of her opponent! HERE COMES THE SPINNING ELBOW! Sakai is able to avoid it…maneuvering around the champion! SHE DROPKICKS KASAI RIGHT IN THE BACK! KASAI stumbles across the ring and into the corner!
Raven Roberts: That is not how you want to start this one off.
Gavin Kirkland: Miku goes to the corner and makes another running knee attempt! KASAI avoids it yet again and now it’s Sikai in the corner! BOOM! KASAI kicks her right across the chest! She then backs up…BEFORE RUSHING AT HER OPPONENT AND CONNECTING WITH A RUNNING HIP ATTACK! She throws Miku back towards the center of the ring before climbing up to the top rope! Seems pretty early to do some flying! KASAI DOESN’T CARE! SHE LOOKS FOR THE FLYING HURRICARANA!
Deadprez: SIKAI LIFTS HER KNEE UP AND DRILLS KASAI IN THE LOWER BACK! That was a deadly shot from Miku! KASAI grabs her back in pain, but as she sits up Sikai gets her with a dropkick! Sikai has taken control here and she drags the champion back up to her feet! She brings her over to the corner and smashes her head right off the turnbuckle! She starts rapidly bouncing KASAI’s face off of it, clearly under the impression that practice makes perfect! The ref eventually tells her to back to off but the damage is already done!
Brianna Hill: She should have just kept doing that. She had an entire five seconds to add a little extra color to KASAI’s stupid face paint.
Eve: Miku lets her opponent drop into the corner! She lines up her shot…AND SHE ATTEMPTS THE MUSTACHE RIDE! KASAI HOWEVER IS ABLE TO ROLL FORWARD TO AVOID IT! Miku gets trapped in the corner and KASAI makes her move! She rushes over to the ropes and delivers a leaping stomp right down on her opponent! Innovation offense that is about to be followed up by more! KASAI pulls Miku out of the corner and stars stomping down on her right arm! She then grabs it, pulling Miku back up! Look at that! She’s just wrenching it all around here! You can see the pain on Sikai’s face!
Raven Roberts: I’m not going to say that I’m not enjoying this. This is pretty smart on KASAI’s part, taking out one of Miku’s arms. Then again, she could find to way to steal this with only one.
Gavin Kirkland: AND A SWIFT KICK TO THE STOMACH KNOCKS HER BACK DOWN! KASAI keeps up the offense on the arm, looking for an arm-bar! MIKU rips her arm away from her opponent and retreats to the ropes! KASAI instantly chases after up but Miku gets her with the hotshot! KASAI’s chest bounced right off the ropes! Miku Sikai senses the opportunity, SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMB! COVER BY SIKAI!
ONE!
TW-
Deadprez: KASAI with the kick out! Miku gets back up and runs to the ropes, looking to build up some speed as she comes back at KASAI! SIKAI WITH THE RUNNING HIP ATTACK! KASAI CATCHES HER! SHE SPIKES SIKAI INTO THE MAT WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX! What a counter from the Huntress! Now that she’s back in control, it seems that she wants to prove just how pain she can inflict! She grabs onto the arm she was targeting earlier and starts twisting it! She brings all the way around the back of Miku Sikai, putting her in the hammerlock! KASAI has her opponent pinned to the ground!
Brianna Hill: I could do it better.
Eve: Miku Sikai is desperately reaching out for the ropes but cannot seem to find her way there! She begins to crawl, but the champion keeps her firmly in place! SHE BRINGS AN ELBOW UP INTO THE FACE OF KASAI! This gets her to release the hold and now both competitors scramble back to their feet! Miku Sikai swings wildly…KASAI CATCHES HER ARM! DOUBLE KNEE ARMBREAKER! Miku recoils in pain, backing up into the ropes! KASAI grabs her arm and wraps it around the ropes! SHE GIVES IT A TUG NEARLY TEARING IT RIGHT OFF HER BODY! KASAI is a vicious competitor, able to pick her opponents apart in so many ways! This is just an example of how she can tear apart anyone in that ring with her!
Brianna Hill: Yeah, okay Eve. If I was in Miku’s shoes, this wouldn’t be happening. KASAI can tear anyone apart? Anyone except me.
Gavin Kirkland: She looks to the continue her offense down a different route, throwing Miku across the ring with an irish whip! She ducks down…AND MIKU WITH ONE-HANDED RUNNING BLOCKBUSTER! She just turned the tables here, sending the back of her opponents head right into the mat! She didn’t get all of it though as KASAI is seemingly getting back to her feet! As she does…MIKU COMES AT HER WITH THE FLYING HEADSCISSORS! It almost sends KASAI to the outside, but the Mad Huntress is able to catch herself on the apron! Miku follows her opponent out there…ONLY FOR HER TO TAKE A KICK ACROSS THE CHEST!
Deadprez: KASAI looks for another…MIKU CATCHES HER LEG! She gets KASAI WITH A FOREARM IN RESPONSE! The two wrestlers are now brawling on the apron, fighting for the advantage! MIKU SUPERKICKS HER RIGHT IN THE LEG! She takes a few steps back and knocks KASAI off with a running knee! Miku senses an opportunity, waiting for KASAI to make her back up to a vertical base! SHE THEN TAKES HER DOWN WITH A BLOCKBUSTER RIGHT OFF THE APRON! This is some innovate offense from Miku Sikai there! She rolls her opponent back inside the ring!
Raven Roberts: Like I was saying, Miku knows how to get out of these situations. It’s what makes her such a tricky opponent to deal with. KASAI needs to get back in control quickly.
Eve: Sikai now lifts up the downed KASAI…SHE’S LOOKING FOR THE STARFALL! KASAI IS ABLE TO ESCAPE AT THE LAST MOMENT! She rolls back onto her feet and makes her way to the ropes! SPRINGBOARD BACK ELBOW! She takes her opponent right off her feet with that one! She quickly picks her opponent back up off the mat…AND KASAI IS NOW LOOKING FOR THE MEGATSUNAMI! As she gets her into the powerbomb, Miku is able to counter with a hurricarana!
Gavin Kirkland: Miku Sikai looks for some follow-up, running to her opponent and launching her across the ring with a monkey flip! WAIT! KASAI IS ABLE TO LAND ON HER FEET! Miku thinks that she got her with that! KASAI is casually waiting for her to realize that she didn’t get her! Miku turns around…AND RIGHT INTO THE CTE! KASAI gets her with the knee trembler and then looks for the cover!
ONE!
TWO!
Brianna Hill: MIKU GETS HER SHOULDER UP! HA! If that’s really the best that KASAI can do, taking her title at Fighting Spirit is going to be easy. I can’t wait for Miku to get back up and beat her ass.
Deadprez: KASAI seems disappointed that she wasn’t able to put her opponent away there, but she continues to carry on her offense! She grabs the arm of Sikai and starts driving her knee right into it! KASAI is doing this rapidly, inflicting maximum harm! And now She locks in a scissored arm bar! There is no way to mistake the pain on her face! KASAI might break that arm before the night ends! You can see Miku once again trying to reach out for the ropes, but KASAI is once again keeping her out of reach! Sikai is looking real desperate here and this could be the end!
Raven Roberts: She better not tap out. You’re not going to attack me from behind and then tap out to someone else the very next week.
Eve: NO! SHE REACHES UP AND SCRATCHES AT THE EYES OF KASAI! The hold is released but there is already so much damage done to Miku’s arm! She cannot allow KASAI to do anymore damage there! KASAI begins to stand up and Sikai isn’t about to let her! SIKAI WITH THE JUMPING SNAPMARE! What a takedown! She heads on over to the ropes…AND SHE’S LOOKING FOR THE SLINGSHOT SOMERSAULT SENTON! WHAT AN IMPRESSIVE MOVE! KASAI IS ABLE TO GET HER KNEES UP! THEY GO RIGHT INTO THE LOWER BACK OF MIKU SIKAI!
Gavin Kirkland: And just like that, Miku’s momentum has a lifespan like a mayfly! KASAI is back up and she brings Sikai with her! She twists her opponent into position for the neckbreaker! SIKAI KICKS IN THE BACK OF THE KNEE! She runs to the ropes and then comes back at her opponent…RUNNING HIP ATTACK TO THE BACK OF KASAI’S HEAD! That might have knock a few brain cells loose there! Miku now picks her opponent up and brings her over to the ropes! She goes up…AND COMES DOWN WITH A TORNADO DDT! And just like that, Miku has taken back control! And if she was smart, she would use this chance to put the champ down!
Brianna Hill: FINISH HER ALREADY! She just got brain damage from that combination, not that she could afford any. Miku just needs to put her away so I can do the same next week.
Deadprez: it looks like that might be what she has in mind! She drags her opponent back to her feet…AND SHE’S WRITING KASAI’S NAME IN THE DEATH NOTE! SHE GOES FOR THE ASAI DDT…BUT KASAI CATCHES MID-MOVE! KASAI SLAMS HER SHOULDER FIRST DOWN ONTO HER KNEE! What a shoulder breaker! KASAI NOW DELIVERS A KNEE INTO SIKAI’S ARM! Once again, she’s making a target out of it! She begins driving elbows right down onto the shoulder, rapidly firing off! The situation is looking fairly dire for Miku! KASAI IS LOOKING FOR ANOTHER ARMBAR! Sikai is able to pull herself away however, retreating towards the ropes!
Raven Roberts: Retreating? Really? Miku should just start fighting back. I know she could if she wanted to. This is just getting embarrassing.
Eve: KASAI isn’t about to let up, running at her opponent and attempting the superkick! MIKU DUCKS UNDER IT! KASAI goes nearly halfway over the top rope before she catches herself! Sikai however sees a golden opportunity! She grabs the rope and starts shaking it as hard as she can! That cannot feel good for KASAI! Sikai makes her way to the ropes…SHE DELIVERS A SPRINGBOARD FOREARM TO HER OPPONENT! She knocks her right off the ropes to the outside! Sikai makes her way out there and scraps KASAI off the floor! SHE TOSSES HER INTO THE BARRICADE!
Brianna Hill: This is too funny! KASAI has gone from being in control to getting the snot kicked out of her. She should toss her into the barricade at LEAST three or four more times just in case. She could make it a nice five if she wanted.
Gavin Kirkland: You gotta do what you gotta do! And for Sikai, she has to do whatever it takes to put her opponent away tonight! She throws KASAI back inside the ring and heads up to the top rope! SHE’S LOOKING TO PUT THIS ONE AWAY RIGHT NOW! COULD WE BE SEEING THE WALK OF SHAME? NO! KASAI springs back up and rushes up the ropes! SHE GRABS HER OPPONENT AND SHE CONNECTS WITH THE FLYING JESTER! THAT’S THE SPANISH FLY AND THIS ONE HAS TO BE OVER! Here comes the cover!
ONE!
TWO!
TH-
Deadprez: SIKAI IS ABLE TO GET HER SHOULDER UP! KASAI is about to make her regret! She immediately puts her opponent into the Butterfly Lock! Now she’s putting the pressure on both of her arms, trying to make her regret kicking it! MIKU IS ABLE TO GET HER FOOT ON THE BOTTOM ROPE! The ref is telling KASAI to break the hold and she has no choice! Miku tries to get back up but KASAI isn’t about to let that happen! She picks her up in position for the firearm’s carry! MIKU ONCE AGAIN GOES FOR THE EYES! The ref gives her a final warning! She doesn’t seem to care that desperate move has already paid off! MIKU SIKAI goes to the ropes and then HITS HER OPPONENT WITH THE WHEELBARROW BULLDOG! KASAI’s face is smashed into the ground! She then throws her opponent into the corner…and into the seated position!
Brianna Hill: I know what she’s going for…and I can’t wait to see it!
Eve: AND HERE COMES MIKU SIKAI WITH THE MUSTACHE RIDE! AND WAIT! She stomps her down in the corner, looking to get some revenge here! Miku Sikai is relentless as she forces her opponent back to her feet! She kicks her in the gut…AND SHE LOOKS FOR THE SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMB! KASAI IS ABLE TO LAUNCH HER OVERHEAD! Miku goes up in the air and crashes down onto the mat hard! The Mad Huntress is stalking her opponent, waiting to put her away! HERE COMES URAI’S CURSE!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: MIKU SIKAI DUCKS RIGHT UNDER THE KICK! SHE NAILS KASAI WITH A DROPKICK! That one had some malice behind it, catching KASAI right in the jaw! Miku gets back to her feet and goes to the ropes…SLINGSHOT SOMERSAULT SENTON! She lands on her opponent with a tremendous impact! And now we see her making her up to the top rope! This could be exactly what Sikai needed as she waits to drop her opponent with the Walk of Shame! But wait, Miku turns her attention towards Raven Roberts, wanting to make sure she sees this!
Raven Roberts: See what? Miku find a way to screw this up? She suckered punch from behind, she’s gouging eyes, what’s next? Low blow? That’s not wrestling. That’s cowardice.
Brianna Hill: It’s called winning Raven. And she’s about to do it.
Deadprez: I think Miku heard that as she stops to mouth off to Raven Roberts! She doesn’t notice that KASAI has managed to get back to her feet! MIKU TURNS AROUND AND SHE’S THROWN RIGHT OFF THE TOP ROPE! She never should have taken her eyes off the ball here! She’s about to pay for that! KASAI is now the one that makes her way to the top! AND SHE COMES DOWN WITH KITSUNE’S BLESSING! THE MOONSAULT LEGDROP CONNECTS! This has to be it! KASAI goes for the cover!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘KARATE’ by BABYMETAL begins to play asKASAI slowly rises off her opponent and then stares down Brianna Hill at ringside.)
Gina Romano: HERE IS YOUR WINNER…THE EAW SPECIALISTS CHAMPION…THE ‘MAD HUNTRESS’…KASAI!
Eve: With that KASAI is able to get the win over Miku Sikai but wait! HERE COMES BRIANNA HILL! She rushes into the ring and starts throwing hands with the champion! It’s chaos inside the ring! KASAI THROWS BRIANNA HILL OUT OF THE RING! The two are brawling up the ramp!
Raven Roberts: Brianna had the right idea there.
Deadprez: RAVEN ROBERTS IS LEAVING COMMENTARY AS WELL! She runs inside the ring and attacks the downed Miku Sikai! She’s stomping away, attacking that arm that KASAI was going after all match! And now She picks up the woman who attacked her last week…TALON! She nearly took Sikai’s head off there! If this is a sign of what’s to come at Fighting Spirit…it’s gonna be ugly!
(Raven stands over the broken Sikai, a satisfied look on her face before she squats down after grabbing a mic she has in hand.)
Raven Roberts: I gave you respect a few weeks ago on social media, and then the opportunity to get a shot at the National Elite Championship came to Fruition. I thought there was an outside shot that the two of us could have another competitive match, but I guess that was a mistake after what you did last week during my interview. So now you lay here, defeated and face bruised up, and when you wake up, everything I just said, you will hear and it will become a reality… that I am going to Pain For Pride to become a Grand Slam Champion… because if this is how you want to play? Then okay bitch… let’s play.
(Raven stands back up and drops the mic as ‘Old Scars/Future Hearts’ by All Time Low starts to play throughout the arena, the fans cheer her loudly as Raven looks on at the fallen Miku before she walks off and heads to the back as the camera fades to a commercial break.)
(The World is Gonna End Tonight – Dan Romer, Peter Harper plays as the number one contender to the Answers world Championship Solomon walks out onto the stage to a chorus of boos before he goes down to a knee to pray before making his way down the ring with a dead serious look on his face ready for battle.)
Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SET FOR ONE FALL!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST….FROM THE CITY OF SIN….WEIGHING IN AT 266 POUNDS….HE IS “YOUR SAVIOR”….SOOOLLLOOOOMOOOONNN STTTAAAANNNNE!!!!!
(‘I am not a woman, I’m a god’ by Halsey plays as the crowd immediately boos as Usagi Senshi walks out onto the stage not paying any attention to the crowd reaction with her eyes laser focused on the ring as she takes a deep breath and makes her way down the ramp.)
Bella Braxton: INTRODUCING FIRST…FROM OKINAWA, JAPAN…WEIGHING IN AT 115 POUNDS…”STARBOY”….USAAAGGIII SEENNNSHHIIII!!!!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Eve: And here we go as this match should be quite interesting –
(“shut the fuck up talking to me” By Zack Fox hits as the Answers World Champion Chef Viz walks out with the title around his waist and he’s holding Tupperware with chicken in it. Solomon is annoyed at first seeing him be at ringside but Viz tries everything in his power to say he means no trouble.)
Gavin Kirkland: CHEF VIZ HAS ARRIVED! :blessed:
Solomon Stane: (no mic) You stay right there and watch what’s in store for you very, very soon.
Chef Viz: (while pulling out some seasoning and seasoning his chicken) You do you.
Deadprez: Usagi is looking to start things out here by circling Solomon, when you’re facing off against an opponent of that sheer size and strength, you can’t just dive in. Solomon turns his back for a second worrying about Viz at ringside….and Usagi takes what she can get with this window and she runs up and hits Solomon in the upper back with a nasty dropkick! Usagi saw an opening and took it and we can’t blame her for it. It only sends the big man stumbling a few steps forward and she looks for another and this time Stane avoids it as he waits until she has managed to get back to her feet before getting her with a dropkick of his own! It takes Usagi right off her feet and into the corner!
Gavin Kirkland: Chef Viz looks on from ringside just observing enjoying his chicken as Usagi scrambles back up in the corner, Solomon is on her like a bat out of hell here as he picks her up and stands her up in a vertical base….. and throws her across the ring with the biel throw! He threw her across the ring like a child! Solomon using his strength advantage while making sure Viz takes notice of it. Again, Usagi tries to get back to her feet but Stane descends on her in an instant going right back on the attack as he looks for a rolling elbow but Usagi ducks under it…and superkicks Stane in the back of the knee! It’s enough to drop him down to a knee and Usagi lines up her shot, she goes to the ropes AND KNOCKS DOWN STANE WITH A SPRINGBOARD ROUNDHOUSE! It gets Stane right in the side of the head, hopefully knocking the voices out of him! It takes Usagi a second to realize just how wide her opening is this early in the match while she was catching her breath for a moment…AND SHE RUNS LOOKING FOR “FATALITY”….
Deadprez: BUT SOLOMON NEARLY DECAPITATES HER WITH A CLOTHESLINE! He now mounts over her and begins to drive his forearm repeatedly into her face! Solomon looks like he is out to prove a point here using Usagi as an example. Solomon finally stands up and looks over at Viz at ringside pointing at him and goes for the first cover of the match!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!
Gavin Kirkland: The kickout from Usagi as Solomon right away looks to go back on the attack picking her up from the mat still not taking his eyes off of Viz at ringside.
(Viz puts his chicken in the Tupperware and gives an enthusiastic clap.)
Eve: I think Solomon has Chef Viz in his head with how much attention ge has been showing him since showing up at ringside….MAYBE A LITTLE TOO MUCH AS SHE GOES FOR A SUPERKICK OUT OF NOWHERE, BUT SOLOMON CATCHES THE LEG! Usagi immediately tags him with an enziguri kick to the side of the head preventing any capitalization before she gets right behind him and tries to hoist him up for a dragon suplex…but Solomon doesn’t plan on taking flight anytime soon as he elbows Usagi in the face to get free! Not sure if that was the smartest decision from Usagi right there…AND THEN SOLOMON DELIVERS A HEADBUTT RIGHT TO HER JAW! Usagi is absolutely stunned as Solomon picks her up and sends her back down with a thrust spinebuster! Usagi writhes on the ground with pain from that one as Solomon grabs her by her hair and then drags her to her feet! BIG BOOT RIGHT TO THE CHEST! That big boot sends Usagi right out to ringside floor as she goes flying through the second rope!
Deadprez: She needs to distance himself from Solomon and rethink her plan. Usagi tries to crawl away and regain her composure as Solomon follows his prey out to ringside quickly while warning Viz to keep his distance. He picks up his opponent and gets her in position for a powerslam….BUT USAGI MANAGES TO SLIP OUT FROM BEHIND! She quickly dashes back inside the ring with Solomon in hot pursuit right after her….THE MINUTE SOLOMON GETS ON THE APRON HE’S MET WITH A V-TRIGGER! That was some clever thinking right there…but that wasn’t the only thought in her head as she rushes over the corner ascending her way up to the top turnbuckle AND LAUNCHES HERSELF WITH A TRIANGLE CROSS-BODY! That is pure athleticism on display right there as she goes for the first cover of the match!!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!!
Deadprez: Solomon stays in the game with a kick out! Usagi keeps a level head as she figures out her next move while Viz is telling her to keep on the attack and not give Solomon any room to breathe with a full mouth of chicken. She looks over to the corner and makes the climb up onto the top rope…AND SHE LAUNCHES HERSELF OFF GOING FOR THE MOONSAULT…BUT NOBODY HOME AS SOLOMON MOVED OUT OF THE WAY! The moonsault doesn’t find the target as Solomon moves out of the way at the last second and that might end up coming back to bite Usagi! That impact with the mat stuns her and gives Solomon the chance to turn the tide as he gets back to his feet and bell claps his opponent before measuring her up from behind…
Eve: NOW THE GERMAN SUPLEX, BUT USAGI THOUGH LANDS ON HER FEET! USAGI LOOKS FOR A SPIN KICK BUT SOLOMON DUCKS UNDER IT AND HE GRABS HER AND ROLLS HIM UP WITH A SCHOOLBOY!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
Deadprez: SHE’S HOLDING ONTO THE ROPES!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!!
Eve: SOLOMON STILL MANAGES TO KICK OUT! Usagi tried to take a shortcut there against Solomon but it didn’t work as they race up to their feet – USAGI CHARGES AT HIM WITH A FULL HEAD OF STEAM BUT SOLOMON CATCHES HIM ON HIS SHOULDERS AND DROPS HER WITH A SAMOAN DROP! Solomon then reaches down and picks up his opponent by the throat helping her find her feet, and then Solomon then pulls her in for the headbutt but Usagi sidesteps it moving her head over before she counters with the armdrag!
Gavin Kirkland: Solomon looks to break the stalemate with a running big boot, but Usagi ducks under the massive leg and she kicks him in the back of the leg once more dropping him to one knee and she looks to follow it up with a roundhouse kick…BUT SOLOMON GRABS THE LEG AND LOOKS FOR ANKLE LOCK! SOLOMON HAS THE ANKLE LOCK LOCKED IN DEEP DOWN TWISTING AS HARD AS HE CAN ON HER ANKLE…BUT USAGI COUNTERS ROLLING THROUGH SENDING SOLOMON INTO THE CORNER FACE FIRST! A SHOTGUN DROPKICK! Solomon might be in some trouble here now….
Gavin Kirkland: She then looks to make the ascent once again to that top rope, but Solomon is right there behind her! He brings an elbow into the lower back of Usagi before he uses his power advantage once more then pulls her off the top AND HITS THE SLINGSHOT POWERBOMB! Solomon doesn’t stop there as he then takes his own place on the top rope, watching and waiting for Usagi to get into position as he looks over at Veena at ringside and then…. MISERY’S END! That huge elbow drop connects with the back of Usagi’s head! Solomon Stane smirks over at Viz ringside before he goes for a cover!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!
Eve: Usagi isn’t done yet as she kicks out at two and Solomon does not seem to like that one bit as Solomon takes a second to talk things out with himself before he nods to himself after a back and forth, deciding on a path forward! LEAPING HEADBUTT! He went skull to skull with her once again! He then picks up his opponent and hits her with a discus punch! He nearly decapitates Usagi with that one before he drags her back to her feet….AND THIS TIME HITS HER WITH THE EXPLODER SUPLEX!
Chef Viz: (no mic) WELL DONE BIG BOY!
Gavin Kirkland: Solomon is simply punishing Usagi here clearly trying to send some sort of sick message to Viz. He now just strolls over to his opponent and starts stomping on her and he just keeps going and going until she is able to get to the ropes….Solomon just pushes his way past the ref AND RIGHT INTO A KICK BY USAGI! Usagi just caught Solomon by complete surprise as he drops to a knee not having a clue on where he is…. AND SHE FOLLOWS IT UP WITH A SPRINGBOARD CUTTER! WAIT! Solomon catches her before her face is introduced to the mat! He lifts up Usagi for another powerslam…BUT IT’S REVERSED INTO A TORNADO DDT! USAGI CRAWLS UNDER THE BOTTOM ROPE AND ASCENDS UP TO THAT TOP TURNBUCKLE – A PICTURE PERFECT FROG SPLASH ON TOP OF SOLOMON! AND HERE’S THE COVER!!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!
Eve: SOLOMON KICKS OUT RIGHT BEFORE THE THREE AND THE MATCH CONTINUES ON! And now it’s Usagi not wanting to take any chances as she delivers an elbow drop right to the heart of Solomon! Then she picks up Solomon and throws him over to the corner and follows up with an uppercut! She follows up with a vertical suplex! It takes serious determination and strength to get someone like Solomon up for a move like that but Usagi isn’t done though as she doesn’t let go of Solomon, bringing him back to his feet for a third suplex! SOLOMON HITS ONE OF HIS OWN! THIS TIME SOLOMON KEEPS THE CHAIN GOING! HE HITS A SECOND ONE! HE LOOKS FOR THE THIRD…
Deadprez: BUT USAGI WITH A THUMB TO THE EYE!! The referee didn’t see it – AND SHE GETS HIM UP FOR THE “ACE-PLEX!!!!” AND THE COVER!!!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!
Eve: SOLOMON KICKS OUT!!!
(Chef Viz jumps up in excitement as how close that near fall was.)
Deadprez: Usagi took another shortcut but Solomon still manages to survive and Usagi is back at square one on thinking what to do to put this one away for good. She picks him up and places her between the legs….but Solomon collapses down and rolls out of the ring in order to save himself before we could know what she had in mind! Perfect time right there it seems or just fortunate luck of where he was in the ring, but Usagi goes to the outside to try to get Solomon back inside! As she gets Solomon back up to his feet…SOLOMON THROWS HER INTO THE STEEL STEPS!
(Solomon looks over at Viz who is only a few feet away from him as Viz gas just hand up in innocence while holding his Tupperware in the other.)
Eve: It would appear that Solomon was playing a bit of possum there, and again I think Viz may be playing some mind games. He then brings her over to the apron and smashes her head right off of it! He takes the fight back inside the ring and looks for a new way to inflict punishment! He hoists Usagi up on to the top rope before hitting her with a huge right hand! He climbs up there as well…clearly having something big on his mind! HE STRIKES HER WITH A HEADBUTT! AND NOW HE GRABS USAGI BY THE THROAT – “TRIUMPH OF TRUTH”!!! THE SITOUT CHOKESLAM FROM THE TOP ROPE AS SOLOMON HOOKS THE LEG!!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!
Gavin Kirkland: OH MY!!! USAGI SOMEHOW GOT THE SHOULDER UP!! Solomon is in disbelief as Viz seems entertained by it at ringside. Usagi just survived the avalanche chokeslam from the top rope!
Chef Viz: (while holding up two fingers) Only two big boy.
Deadprez: Solomon slowly gets her up by the head looking to put her away for good, BUT USAGI BEGINS THROWING SHOTS AT HIS RIBS TRYING TO FIGHT BACK! AND SOLOMON LOOKS TO TAKE FIRM CONTROL BACK HERE AS HE LOOKS FOR THE WHEEL KICK BUT USAGI STEPS TO THE SIDE AVOUDING IT! Usagi gets him with a soccer kick to the back – SHE LOOKS FOR A RUNNING KNEE STRIKE ONCE MORE BUT SOLOMON LEANS BACK TO DUCK IT! Solomon gets back to his feet and turns around to face his opponent…BUT USAGI IS OFF THE ROPES WITH A SPRINGBOARD DROPKICK! SOLOMON TRIES TO CATCH HER BY THE LEGS …BUT IT’S TOO LATE AS USAGI TAKES HIM DOWN BEFORE SHE JUMPS ON HIS BACK AND HAMMERS DOWN ON HIS HEAD WITH ELBOWS! She picks him up trying to get him in position, BUT SOLOMON PUSHES HER BACK BEFORE ALMOST TURNING HER INSIDE OUT WITH A VICIOUS CLOTHESLINE!! It’s like a chess match between these two with the momentum swinging back and forth between the two.
Gavin Kirkland: He lifts his opponent back up…HE’S LOOKING FOR SANITY’S SAKE! Usagi though is continuing to fight back trying to get out of this as she wraps her legs around the ropes, preventing Solomon from driving him into the mat! Usagi is able to escape near defeat, but that doesn’t stop Solomon from continuing his assault! HE LOOKS FOR THE SPINNING BACK FIST BUT USAGI KICKS HIS HAND AWAY! SHE LOOKS FOR THE WHEELBARROW FACEBUSTER…BUT SOLOMON PUSHES HER AWAY AND RUNS AT HIM – BUT SHE COUNTERS WITH A DROP TOE HOLD AS SOLOMON HITS FACE FIRST! USAGI RUNS FULL SPEED AND DRIVES BOTH KNEES INTO THE BACK OF HIS HEAD AND UH OH….
Eve: USAGI GOES UP TOP AND HAS SOLOMON RIGHT WHERE SHE WANTS HIM – SHE GOES FOR HER “FALL TO PIECES” ELBOW DROP – BUT NOBODY HOME AS SOLOMON MOVES OUT OF THE WAY! Solomon right away pops up….AND USAGI STIRS UP AND TURNS AROUND TO FACE HIM – “THE WORD!!!” THE HEEL HOOK TO THE FACE OF USAGI AS SOLOMON FALLS DOWN ON HER FOR THE COVER! WILL THIS BE ENOUGH TO PUT USAGI AWAY??
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!
TTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
(The World is Gonna End Tonight – Dan Romer, Peter Harper plays as the crowd showers Solomon in boos as he stands and gets his hand raised by the referee. Chef Viz gives a golf clap on the outside )
Gina Romano: HERE IS YOUR WINNER….SOOLLOOMMOOOONNNNE STTTAAAAANNNNNE!!!!!
Eve: A great match with Usagi trying several times to take a shortcut and she came either an inch of pulling out the win on multiple occasions, but the ball bounced Solomon’s way as he was in the right place at the right time to pick up the win.
(Chef Viz walks into the ring continuing his golf clap staring into the face of his challenger.)
Eve: Who will come out on top in Showdown’s main event next weekend at Fighting Spi –
Deadprez: SOLOMON JUST HEADBUTTED VIZ OUT OF HIS BOOTS!! Solomon doesn’t stop there as he pulls a cross out from his boot! Chef Viz turns around – AND SOLOMON HITS VIZ IN THE HEAD WITH IT AND CHEF VIZ IS BUSTED OPEN!!
(Solomon picks up the Answers World Championship and raises it above the body of Chef Viz.)
Eve: Will this be the scene come Fighting Spirit?
(The scene fades to black as Solomon drops the title on Viz’s chest.)
(Showdown came back from commercials as the cameras slowly panned towards the entrance, “7 rings” by Ariana Grande starts playing on the speakers, and the crowd roars with cheers seeing Veena Adams come out, she rushed out looking as beautiful as ever with a pink and blue outfit, and showing the EAW National Elite Championship around her waist, but she was clearly pissed off about what ended up happening last week when ARIA ended up laying her out, and attacking her the way that she did.)
Gavin Kirkland: WOOOOOOOO! THAT IS MY NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPION! SHE IS SO BRIGHT AS SHE GOES DOWN THE RAMP, PLEASE NOTICE ME, PLEASE NOTICE MY… She ignored me. What does she see in Charlie? Why do good girls like bad guys? 😔
Deadprez: Maybe it is because of the baldness :mjlol:
Gavin Kirkland: Wait, really? I will become bald after the show is over-
Eve: He was being sarcastic, Gavin, but yes, as we saw what happened last week, Veena ended up tearing into ARIA and did not hold back despite the way the state that ARIA was in, and even though ARIA seemingly did not look like she was going to attack, she ended up throwing the table onto her and then laying out Veena out with her title and then standing tall over her. It seems Veena has some words to say about that.
(Veena quickly entered inside of the ring and went through the ropes as fast as she could, before she got onto the center and shouted out into the microphone.)
Veena Adams: Alright, cut my music! I do not want to wait any longer for this depressed detective girl!
(Veena’s music cuts right off when she says that out loud, as she continues speaking up.)
Veena Adams: ARIA, do not make me wait any longer than you should be! Come out already!
(Veena waited for a few more seconds wondering if ARIA would come out in the first place, and slowly, the same woman that came out like a mess the last week calmly stepped out with her hands on her pockets, and her expression just looking almost completely dead, and well, once again, her music did not play in any way, and the crowd did not react in a single way as she appeared, Aria trying her best to hide those feelings of confusion and worry as this “anomaly” ended up happening to her again.)
Gavin Kirkland: BOOOOOOOO! GET HER OUT OF THE STAGE, GET HER OUT OF MY BEAUTIFUL SHOW, I DO NOT WANT TO SEE HER AGAIN!
Deadprez: What the hell- Gavin booing a blonde woman with blue eyes, what timeline we in now? What’s happening with you?
Gavin Kirkland: Well, I have a reason to boo considering she is hiding that beauty from the world with those bandages in her face and I don’t like it… I mean… it might end up looking horrifying… and also I gotta boo so the eerie silence doesn’t freak me out.
Eve: Yeah, I am so confused as well on why the crowd is not reacting to ARIA again, she always came out here and just by her sheer presence she was able to get everyone up and out of their seats to cheer loudly for her, and now… none of that is happening, why?
(ARIA finally arrived towards the steps and getting to the ring apron, she slowly went through the ropes and Veena made sure to take a few steps back, not even wanting to touch her. ARIA looked down at the ground with her bandages still covering her mouth, and her messy hair covering half of her face as ARIA slowly spoke up.)
ARIA: I… I am sorry if I ended up doing something that pissed you off, I did not really mean to do that-
Veena Adams: Pissed me off?! I am livid right now about it! Do you think I am going to stand there and happily take what you did to me, Aria? What you did last week ended up being desperate and dirty, and that was not at all something that was characteristic of Aria in any way!
ARIA: Look, I just-
Veena Adams: How are you going to attack me when my guard is down?!
(Aria immediately stops when she ends up hearing those words, the camera captures Aria’s expression slowly moving into a confused and almost pissed off one, her eye twitching slowly as she responds.)
ARIA: …what?
Veena Adams: What? Are you deaf or something? You heard what I said already.
ARIA: …You attacked me fi-
Veena Adams: And the way that you laid me out, grabbing your dirty hands on my championship and then throwing it right onto my face before ruining my makeup as well with one of your moves?! Do you want me to make you pay me for breaking one of my nails as well? Because it will all happen when I make you pay by receiving an ass kicking from yours truly!
(The crowd cheered louder once Veena said that and it almost looked like something started to turn inside of Aria’s head as she saw all of this and she angrily grasped into her hair.)
ARIA: Am… am I going insane?! Why are you all agreeing with her? She is just exaggerating and being a hypocrite-
Veena Adams: And now you are trying to blame me for things that did not happen, I am sorry, but what is even happening with you, Aria?
ARIA: There is NOTHING wrong with me, you are the one trying to manipulate my words and make it seem like I am the one who has all of the blame here, I just did what was necessary last week to defend myself from you-
Veena Adams: Or is that the excuse you want to make so that you can easily get away from this argument without looking like the “bad guy”? I have always seen you try to push yourself up to your feet after taking a loss like that, is that not what ARIA is all about? Continuing to fight with everybody that you have despite seeing adversity and insurmountable odds right in front of you? Now you are walking around looking like a hobo and trying to put blame on other people for things that did not happen, nobody likes that kind of ARIA, and I certainly do not like her either-
ARIA: IT IS BECAUSE I AM DEPRESSED, YOU-
Veena Adams: And you really believe I want that out of my opponents when I come into matches like these? I want the best of the best and you are not being that anymore.
(It genuinely almost looked like ARIA was about to snap with the words that she kept hearing from Veena, shaking her head around and pacing the ring as she tried her best to speak down into the microphone without suddenly snapping.)
ARIA: You think that kind of thing bothers me? You think I am just going to lay down and let all of that hold me back, no no no… I am Aria Lestrade for a reason, I have gone through so much worse than something like this, I am always able to bounce back, I am capable of coming back from all of this, it is not my problem that I am human, alright? It is not my problem that I care a lot more than the rest of the people here, it is not my problem that I like to help people and make sure they better themselves, that is in my nature as a person, just being myself, all of these months I have been simply vulnerable to… a-attacks from people who hate me and do not want to see me succeed, and you know what has happened? I am still here! I have not left at all in any way! I am not a coward or a complete failure like the other people who have left this company and will forever be ashamed because of how much of a loser they were, I deserve everything that comes to my hands, I deserve the title shots, I deserve the fame, I deserve the success because I earned it all, I worked HARD for it from back in Japan when I could not be able to get even one ounce of support from the people there and… and… aaAaAanndDddDd…
(ARIA was genuinely at her limit as she saw the crowd continue staying silent, before finally, she snapped and she turned towards the crowd shouting at them.)
ARIA: WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU ALL STAYING SILENT, HUH?! WHAT DID I DO WRONG SO I COULD GET THIS REACTION? ARE YOU EVEN GOING TO TELL ME ANYTHING OR ARE YOU GOING TO SIT THERE LIKE BABIES WHO DO NOT KNOW A WORD OF ENGLISH???
(Some of the crowd look scared and some of them grow angry when ARIA says that, as ARIA’s eyes widened when she saw herself snap like that, starting to pace again and growing restless while Veena’s expression was full of disappointment and anger.)
Veena Adams: You see what I am talking about? You have reached the point that no one cares about you anymore, not even them, you did all of that work just to end up arriving at the same point you were back in Japan when you had nobody, you had nothing, and you were one of the worst wrestlers in the wo-
Eve: ARIA SUDDENLY TACKLED VEENA TO THE GROUND AND SHE STARTS THROWING STRIKES LEFT AND RIGHT AT HER FACE, ARIA HAS HEARD ENOUGH FROM VEENA AND SHE STARTS RELENTLESSLY ATTACKING HER WHILE THE CROWD BOOS HEAVILY!
Deadprez: I am still confused by the reaction from this crowd, why Aria of all people?!
Gavin Kirkland: I THINK THEY AGREE WITH MY OPINION! AND NOW LOOK AT MY NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPION TURN OVER AND START THROWING STRIKES HERSELF, THIS IS A CAT FIGHT AS THEY START PULLING HAIR AROUND AND THROWING ELBOWS!
Eve: WAIT, WE SEE PEOPLE RUSHING DOWN TO BREAK THIS UP!
(Referees and officials quickly move over to enter the ring and rush to break up the brawl, as the people grab the two women and pull them apart, preventing the brawl to continue as the last shot is of Veena and ARIA’s expression being full of rage as they try to push the people apart and look to tear each other apart, with Showdown going to commercials for the last time of the night.)
(‘Kamikaze’ by RedHook begins to play through the speakers as Daryl Kinkade walks out in his finest robes and trademark ring gear. Seconds later, The British Invasion, Halsey Neel and Pandora Paisley are standing on each side of them. The three Brits are talking with each other as they walk down the ramp in solidarity.)
Gina Romano: THE FOLLOWING IS YOUR MAIN EVENT OF THE EVENING AND IT’S A SIX PERSON TAG MATCH…SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!!!!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!!!!!!!
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING FIRST…THEY ARE THE TEAM OF ‘THE DESPAIR’ HALSEY NEEL AND ‘THE HELLCAT’ PANDORA PAISLEY…THE BRITISH INVASION AND ‘THE KINK OF ELITE’…DARYL KINKADE!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Now, while from England, Daryl Kinkade is NOT part of The British Invasion, ladies and gentlemen. But, Pandora Paisley and Halsey Neel could not be more than honored to team with their fellow Brits man, who could be on his way to headlining Pain for Pride! I mean, it might be one of the positive things to happen to them since they can’t be part of the show due to Kassidy Heart pulling rank in getting The British Invasion BANNED from Fighting Spirit.
Eve: While it’s mostly because The Jaded Hearts want to make sure that nothing stands in the way of recapturing their Unified Tag Team Championships, they know that The British Invasion was the reason why their last reign fell down the way they did! They want to make sure that that doesn’t repeat twice!
Deadprez: As for Daryl Kinkade, he has had great opportunities this season. Fighting Spirit could be his lucky night, if he manages to defeat the three other Elitists, who are on the opposing sides of this match…
(‘Be Legendary’ by Pop Evil begins to play through the speakers as the crowd gives some love to Adam Lucas, who comes out, cranking both sides of his neck, getting his limbs warmed up for this match. He turns back as ‘Unfuckwittable’ by Kid Cudi begins to play, receiving mixed receptions from the crowd. Jon Kelton comes out, looking focused. Not even paying much attention to Adam. Silence among those two until ‘Ambitionz Az A Ridah’ by Tupac begins to play through the speakers as TLA comes out from the side of the stage in a classic 1962 Chevrolet Impala Lowrider in Abuela Pantera’s favorite color of pink.)
Gina Romano: INTRODUCING THEIR OPPONENTS…WEIGHING IN AT THE WEIGHT OF 656 POUNDS…THEY ARE THE TEAM OF ‘THE NEXT LEVEL’ …ADAM LUCAS… ‘THE LAST HOPE’ …JON KELTON AND ‘LA PANTERA SEXUAL’…TLA!!!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: On any other day, this would be a spectacular team who I can see dominating! Today? I don’t seem to think so! I can just sense the energy with these three Elitists and they don’t want to team with each other. They don’t want to be part of this match with each other. They would love nothing more than to not associate with each other!
Eve: I agree with you, Gavin. These three began the show on a not so good note and honestly, it seems like there could still be some tension lingering with all of these men! But, if there is something that could bring them all together, I don’t think they like these three much! Not only had Pandora and Halsey been consistent factors in making Showdown difficult for a lot of the talent, Daryl hasn’t shown to be the most likable person in any sort of way.
Deadprez: A team with a potential to crash and burn. Meanwhile, The British Invasion and Daryl Kinkade look to be on the same page. But, surprising things have happened before! This could be another one of those instances!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Gavin Kirkland: Oh no, it seems like TLA and Jon Kelton are looking to resume some of the confrontation from earlier tonight —
(Before it seems like Jon Kelton and TLA could implode, Adam Lucas finds himself in the middle of the situation, trying to be the calm one. But, it seems like Jon turns his attention to Adam as the two of them find themselves in a bit of a bickering.)
Eve: Oh boy, it seems like Jon Kelton and Adam Lucas are now dealing with each other as it seems like Jon is looking to swing a punch towards Adam, but TLA finds himself in the middle and looking to be the mediator!
Deadprez: Things look to be tense with these three out of the four men who will be facing off to earn an opportunity at the Answers World Championship! BUT, DARYL KINKADE AND THE BRITISH INVASION SEES THAT AS THEIR OPENING TO GO TOWARDS TLA, JON KELTON AND ADAM LUCAS! WE SEE DARYL AND ADAM GOING AT EACH OTHER! PANDORA PAISLEY AND TLA! HALSEY NEEL AND JON KELTON! ALL THREE GROUPS ARE TAKEN TO SEPARATE CORNERS AS IT SEEMS LIKE THE REFEREE HAS LOST CONTROL IN JUST THE FIRST FEW MOMENTS OF THIS MATCH! WE SEE HALSEY TAKE JON DOWN WITH A KNEE! WE SEE PANDORA CONNECTING WITH SOME TURNBUCKLE THRUSTS ON TLA! WE SEE DARYL SWING FORWARD FOR A SIDE HAND CHIP TO ADAM’S CHEST!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT, ADAM LUCAS MANAGES TO DUCK HIMSELF OUT OF POSITION! HE PUSHES DARYL KINKADE TO THAT CORNER AS LOOKS TO LAUNCH HIMSELF FORWARD BY CONNECTING WITH A SPRINGBOARD FOREARM TO THE FACE OF THE FORMER NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPION! BUT, AT THE FIRST SIGN OF ADAM GETTING SOME OFFENSE IN THIS MATCH, THE BRITISH INVASION FINDS THEMSELVES GETTING INVOLVED! THEY BEGIN TO POUNCE AND UNLOAD ON ADAM LIKE A PACK OF WOLVES! NOW, WE SEE DARYL GETTING IN ON ALL THE FUN AS THE THREE BRITS ARE STOMPING ON ADAM!
Eve: But, Jon Kelton and TLA find themselves back in the fray as TLA pulls Halsey Neel away from Adam Lucas and throws her back to the corner! Then, we see Jon yank Pandora Paisley by the arm and —
(Pandora Paisley turns around to look at her ex-boyfriend, Jon Kelton. The two of them stare at each other. An awkward tension looming in the air as the crowd can sense it as well. The two of them had some things to say to each other. Some things that had built up throughout the course of their relationship. Some things weren’t open with each other. Now, it has the opportunity to just explode all inside this ring. Pandora is edging for a fight as Jon holds her stare, trying to see if she turns away first. For an opportunity to release all the anger and frustration that they’ve felt — at least, what it seems like to Pandora. Maybe, to Jon, as much as he’d want to deny it.)
(The crowd immediately begins to boo.)
Deadprez: We see that Daryl Kinkade is pushing Pandora Paisley back into their ideal corner for this match up! I think that the crowd was really intrigued by the possibility of a throw down between these two! I kind of wanted to see it all go down! I think that Daryl and Halsey have decided that it would be him that decides to begin things! I don’t think that he cares which of these “dickheads” as he likes to put it, begins this match! He just wants to get things underway! And, it seem like Jon Kelton is going straight towards Daryl Kinkade —
Gavin Kirkland: But, Daryl Kinkade ducks his head through the rope and out of the ring! He demands for the referee to step in front of him and move Jon Kelton back! Clearly, you can see that Jon is not amused by that whatsoever! He wants to get this match over it! After a moment, Daryl gets his head back inside the ring! There, he begins to get himself into a fighting stance as he cautiously gets closer to Jon! Now, Jon is looking to do the same thing as — NO! JON GOES RIGHT AFTER THE WAIST OF ‘THE KINK OF ELITE’ AS HE LOOKS TO TAKE HIM BACK WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX! BUT, DARYL MANAGES TO LAND A BACK ELBOW TO THE FACE OF ‘THE LAST HOPE!’
Eve: Daryl Kinkade turns himself around as he applies a side headlock on Jon Kelton! Daryl drops to a knee as he continues to wrench in the headlock, applying more pressure onto the hold! But, Jon manages to get his arm behind Daryl’s leg and gives it a swipe! THIS KNOCKS DARYL TO HIS BACK AS JON BEGINS TO PUMMEL DARYL WITH PUNCHES! BUT, DARYL MANAGES TO ROLL HIMSELF ON TOP OF JON, GIVING SOME PUNCHES OF HIS OWN! BUT, JON PUSHES DARYL OFF OF HIM! DARYL GOES RIGHT AFTER HIM AND CONNECTS WITH A CLOTHESLINE! BUT, JON DUCKS THE CLOTHESLINE! BUT, DARYL MANAGES TO HOOK JON BY HIS ARM BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A SNAP DRAGON SUPLEX AS THAT TAKES HIM BACK —
Deadprez: But, Jon Kelton manages to flip to his feet as he battery rams Daryl Kinkade to one of the corners! There, we see Jon connecting with several shoulder thrusts at the corner! Then, we see Jon lifting Daryl up to the top turnbuckle! Daryl finds himself seated on top of there as it seems like Jon might be looking to go up! But, look at his side!
Gavin Kirkland: Pandora Paisley slides towards the corner with Daryl Kinkade! Jon Kelton’s sights turned towards the hellacious hellcat as she seemed to do nothing, but stare right after him! But, Daryl uses that opening to deliver a kick to the forehead of Jon as that takes him back! We see Daryl situating himself on the top turnbuckle! He jumps off and connects with a meteora as that takes down the former National Elite Champion! Daryl gets himself to his feet as Jon does so shortly after! Daryl with a calf kick as that causes Jon to bend forward in response! Daryl pulls Jon into a front headlock before lifting him up and taking him back with a vertical suplex into a floatover for a cover!
OOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTTWWWWW—
Eve: Jon Kelton with a kick out! Daryl Kinkade finds himself to his feet as he gets Jon and whips him to the horizontal set of ropes in front of him! Jon manages to hold himself there, but Daryl goes right after him and connects with a knee to the jaw of ‘The Last Hope!’ This causes Jon to go down to one knee! But, Daryl slides down and connects with an uppercut as that pops him back up!
(TAG!)
Deadprez: It seems like Adam Lucas tagged himself into the match without Jon Kelton knowing! I don’t think that Daryl Kinkade is aware of that as he gets Jon by underneath his chin and connects with a snapmare before connecting with a backflip into a dropkick to the face of Jon! But, he turns himself around as Adam connects with a powerful discus lariat that takes down ‘The Kink of Elite!’ Daryl finds himself taken down! Adam grabs Daryl by the nape of his neck before throwing him towards the turnbuckle at the corner! Daryl manages to get a rope on each hand as Adam charges towards him looking to connect with a body splash! But, Daryl manages to get a leg up and kick Adam away! Daryl finds himself on the top turnbuckle before jumping off of it and connecting with a shoulder tackle off the top rope! But, Adam manages to get Daryl up and connect with a spine buster as that takes him down! Adam goes for a cover!
OOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTTWWWWW—
Gavin Kirkland: Daryl Kinkade with a kick out! The British Invasion is at their corner as both women are extending her hands, looking for a tag from Daryl! But, Adam Lucas manages to throw back Daryl to the ropes before whipping him towards the other set of horizontal ropes across from them! But, mid way, Daryl counters his whip as he sends the former Answers World Champion to the ropes! Adam manages to catch himself as Daryl charges right after him with a knee strike! But, Adam manages to connect with an elbow to the face of Daryl! This causes him to stagger back!
Eve: NOW, WE SEE ADAM LUCAS GETTING DARYL KINKADE IN A POWERBOMB POSITION! BUT, LOOK AT THIS! PANDORA PAISLEY ENTERS THE RING AS ADAM LUCAS TURNS HIS ATTENTION TOWARDS ‘THE HELLCAT!’ AS WE’VE KNOWN AND IT WAS HIGHLIGHTED THIS WEEK IN A FEW VIDEOS, THESE TWO HAVE HISTORY!
Deadprez: Something consisting of Orlando Cruze, Adam Lucas’ mentor being the son-in-law to Pandora Paisley’s mentor, Regan Street.
Gavin Kirkland: You’re implying that Regan Street > Orlando Cruze?
Deadprez: Have you even watched a wrestling match consisting of either of those two?
Gavin Kirkland: I bet Jake Mercer has and he’ll be able to back me up on that claim!
Eve: Adam Lucas manages to drop Daryl Kinkade down to go after Pandora Paisley, but Pandora manages to slide out of the ring as she holds her hands up in defense! She wants no part of this match just this yet! But, it seems like Daryl was able to take advantage of this opening by lifting up Adam and connecting with a back body drop on the former World Champion! Adam tries to find himself in a crawling position, but Daryl manages to follow that up by connecting with a corkscrew kick to the back of Adam’s skull as he quickly goes for the cover!
OOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
TTTTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
Deadprez: Adam Lucas with a kick out! Daryl Kinkade gets Adam by the back of his gorgeous mane of hair as he takes him back to the Brit corner!
Referee: (off mic) TAG!
Gavin Kirkland: Daryl Kinkade tags in Halsey Neel, one-half of The British Invasion into the match! Halsey enters the match as she gets a hold of one of Adam Lucas’ arms! Daryl gets a hold of Adam’s other arm as the two of them whip Adam to the horizontal set of ropes as he rebounds off of them and Halsey grabs Adam, using his momentum and connects with a half Nelson suplex! She just basically threw him behind her as Adam crashed to the back of his head! Still, he is still trying to find his way back to his feet, but Halsey basement dropkick that sends him to the corner with Pandora Paisley and Daryl Kinkade! Halsey goes right after Adam like a freaking train and connects with a sharp uppercut to the chin as that sends him down to a seated position!
Eve: HALSEY NEEL GETS CLOSER TO THE CORNER AS SHE BEGINS TO STOMP ON THE FACE AND CHEST OF THE FORMER ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION! HALSEY BECOMES MORE STIFF WITH THESE STOMPS BEFORE PRESSING HER BOOT AGAINST THE FACE OF ADAM LUCAS! THIS CAUSES ADAM’S NECK TO GO BACK AS HALSEY HOLDS IT THERE! I THINK THAT THE REFEREE MIGHT NEED TO STEP IN TO STOP THIS!
Referee: (off-mic) ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! STEP AWAY, HALSEY!
Deadprez: The referee finds himself needing to back Halsey Neel away from Adam Lucas at the corner! But, the referee finds himself in the middle of an argument with Halsey Neel – look at Pandora Paisley!
Gavin Kirkland: My beautiful hellcat manages to wrench in the neck of Adam Lucas as Daryl Kinkade delivers a cheap shot to the face! This has gotten the attention of TLA and Jon Kelton at the opposite corner, who demand that the referee turn around and see the mess happening around with Team Britannia!
Eve: The referee turns himself around and Daryl Kinkade and Pandora Paisley look so calm, cool and collected. It’s like they did nothing at all! The referee has his suspicions, but I think that he’s more worried about getting through this match without any issues! Halsey Neel continues along with inflicting as much punishment on Adam Lucas as she can! She gets Adam by the top of his head and yanks him up to his feet! Halsey begins to unload on a series of punches to the abdomen of ‘The Next Level!’ Adam is trying to cover his abdomen, but Halsey is nailing each punch! She gets Adam in a front headlock before lifting him up and connecting with a front suplex! Adam lands on his stomach as that pops him to his knees as he clutches his stomach in pain!
Deadprez: That was some strength that as Halsey Neel stalks Adam Lucas back to his feet before connecting with a pump kick to the side of his temple! This causes the former World Champion to fall to his side! But, Halsey follows that up by getting Adam up to his feet and connecting with a uranage backbreaker before getting on top of Adam for the cover!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Adam Lucas with a kick out! Halsey Neel remains clearly focused on tearing down her opponents bit by bit. Halsey gets Adam and throws him to one of the horizontal sets of ropes!
(TAG!)
Eve: Adam Lucas rebounds off of those ropes as he looks to connect with a slingshot on ‘The Despair,’ BUT HALSEY NEEL MANAGES TO COUNTER, USING SOME OF THE MOMENTUM OF THAT SLINGSHOT AND CONNECTING WITH A URANAGE INTO A KNEE! A POWERFUL ONE IN THAT AS I’M NOT SURE HOW HALSEY IS ABLE TO DO IT, BUT SHE IS TAKEN DOWN TO THE MAT!
Deadprez: BUT, JON KELTON CONNECTS WITH A ‘GALICK GUN’ AS THAT TAKES HALSEY NEEL BACK TO THE ROPES! GUYS, I THINK THAT JON WAS ABLE TO TAG HIMSELF INTO THE BACK WHEN IT SEEMED LIKE ADAM WAS TRYING TO TURN THIS MATCH AROUND FOR HIS TEAM! IT SEEMED LIKE JON WASN’T LOOKING TO WASTE ANY OF HIS TIME TRYING TO SEE IF ADAM WAS GOING TO REVERSE THIS! HALSEY DIDN’T SEE THAT COMING WHATSOEVER AS —
Pandora Paisley (off-mic) TAG ME IN! I GOT THIS WANKER!
Gavin Kirkland: Pandora Paisley wants in this match!
(Pandora Paisley forms a Cheshire grin on her face as she awaits for Halsey Neel to tag her into the match. Finally, a moment where she can stand toe-to-toe with Jon Kelton. A moment that Jon didn’t seem too keen on at the moment, but it’s not something that he is looking to avoid. Pandora is begging for the tag into the match.)
Referee: (off-mic) TAG!
Eve: Halsey Neel tags in Pandora Paisley! Pandora enters the ring as we’re getting the match up that I have been wanting to see go down in this match up! Former stablemates and lovers, now enemies! Pandora seems to be more fired up than Jon Kelton at the moment! The two of them talking in a pitch that the two of them are only able to hear! I feel like we ought to invest in one of those lip readers to help us out!
Deadprez: Jon Kelton is insisting that Pandora Paisley tag in someone like Daryl Kinkade back into the match! That if Pandora is going to face him, she is going to get her head stomped in. Pandora wants nothing more than to fight. She’s even willing to let Jon throw the first punch in That’s just how much that she wants this fight to go down, but Jon is turning around as he’d rather tag in TLA into this match —
Gavin Kirkland: PANDORA PAISLEY CLUBS JON KELTON IN THE BACK OF HIS HEAD! THERE, SHE BEGINS TO STOMP ON THE BACK OF JON’S HEAD! PANDORA IS GOING RAPIDLY WITH THESE STOMPS TO THE BACK OF JON’S HEAD! SHE GRABS BEHIND JON’S ARMS BY THEIR WRISTS AND PLACES HER BOOT TO THE BACK OF JONS BACK! SHE RAISES THEM UP BEFORE DRIVING THEM FACE-FIRST AGAINST THE SKULL! ‘FACIAL RECONSTRUCTION’ ON THE FORMER NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPION! SHE GETS IN FRONT OF JON AND BEGINS TO PICK HIM UP BY THE FACE!
Pandora Paisley: (off-mic) No one here to protect you, love.
Eve: ‘CAT’S PAW’ — HER VARIATION OF A SUPERKICK THAT TAKES JON KELTON BACK AS PANDORA PAISLEY GOES FOR THE COVER!
OOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!!
TTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOO—
Deadprez: Jon Kelton with a kick out! Pandora Paisley mounts herself on top of ‘The Last Hope’ with left and right fists! She begins to bash her elbow to the forehead of the man that she once aligned with before picking herself up to her feet! She gets Jon up to his feet before throwing him into one of the corners! PANDORA GETS RIGHT CLOSE TO THE FACE OF JON AND IT SEEMS LIKE SHE’S CLAWING HIM IN THE FACE! SHE CALLS THOSE THE ‘CAT’S CLAWS,’ AN ILLEGAL TACTIC IN WRESTLING MATCHES! IT SEEMS LIKE THE REFEREE IS LOOKING TO BEGIN HIS COUNT! IF NOT, I THINK THAT SHE COULD RISK HER TEAM’S VICTORY!
Referee: (off-mic) ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! STEP AWAY, PANDORA!
Gavin Kirkland: She was being careful, ref! My precious little hellcat can do no wrong! Jon Kelton finds himself seated on the second rope as Pandora Paisley goes back to resuming her punishment on Jon! But, Jon runs out of the corner and connects with a slingshot as that takes down ‘The Hellcat!’ Both of these Elitists find a way back to their feet! Which of them is going to throw the first hit — JON CONNECTS WITH A KICK TO PANDORA’S STOMACH BEFORE PICKING HER UP IN A DOUBLE UNDERHOOK BEFORE LIFTING HER UP AND DROPPING HER WITH A DOUBLE UNDERHOOK DDT! BUT, IT SEEMS LIKE JON IS NOT TOO KEEN WITH CONTINUING THIS SITUATION WITH PANDORA AS HE GOES BACK TO HIS CORNER —
Referee: (off-mic) TAG!
Eve: Jon Kelton tags in TLA into this match up! It seems like Jon is trying to explain his situation with TLA, but TLA seems to be the calmer out of his teammates tonight! But, if I have to guess, Jon feels like the more he continues this match, the more he could hurt Pandora Paisley and that’s not something that he wants to do! Meanwhile, it seems like Pandora is more than ready to cave his head to the ground, Jon is not looking to entertain those games whatsoever! TLA hopes over the ropes and steps back inside the ring as Pandora is trying to pick herself up from the ground!
Deadprez: ‘SWAG SHOT’ — HIS VARIATION OF THE PIMP SLAP ACROSS THE FACE OF PANDORA PAISLEY! BUT, I DON’T THINK THAT PANDORA LIKED THAT WHATSOEVER! SHE GOES FOR A ‘WTH’ — A RIGHT HOOK TO THE FACE OF ‘LA PANTERA SEXUAL’ AS THAT CAUSES HIM TO STUMBLE A BIT, BUT IT DOESN’T CAUSE HIM TO KNOCK HIM OUT, WHICH IS ALWAYS THE DESIRED RESULT THAT PANDORA LOOKS TO GET FROM THAT RIGHT HOOK! BUT, TLA CHARGES RIGHT AFTER HER AND CONNECTS WITH A DISCUS LARIAT AND TAKES HER BACK! NOW, WE SEE TLA PICKING UP PANDORA BY HER HAIR AS HE’S LOOKING BACK AT JON KELTON!
TLA: (off-mic) You really scared of hitting her?
Jon Kelton: (off-mic) It’s not like that, it’s —
Gavin Kirkland: TLA BEGINS TO CONNECT WITH A SERIES OF KNEE STRIKES TO THE FACE OF ‘THE HELLCAT!’ SOMEONE STOP THIS MAN! HE COULD REALLY HURT HER! TLA MANAGES TO DROP PANDORA PAISLEY AS SHE FINDS HERSELF TO HER KNEES, BUT TLA CONNECTS WITH A THRUST KICK AS HE TAKES PANDORA TO HER BACK! THEN, WE SEE TLA FOLLOW THAT UP AND CONNECT WITH A STANDING SHOOTING STAR PRESS AS HE GOES FOR THE COVER ON PANDORA!
OOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!
TTTTTTTWWWWWWWOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
TTT—
Eve: AND, HALSEY NEEL COMES TO THE AID OF HER PARTNER AS SHE BREAKS UP THE PIN FALL! BUT, IT SEEMS LIKE ADAM LUCAS IS NOT TOO FAR AWAY AS HE JOINS INSIDE THE RING BY FRONT FLIPPING OVER THE ROPES AND DELIVERING A DISCUS LARIAT TO HER AS THAT TAKES HER DOWN! ADAM LUCAS CONNECTS WITH THE ‘EQUALIZER!’ WE SEE THAT DARYL KINKADE IS LOOKING TO HELP OUT HALSEY WITH ADAM LUCAS! DARYL LOOKS TO STOP ADAM IN HIS TRACKS BY CONNECTING WITH A ‘MONKĒ FLIP’ — A FRONT FLIP INTO A DDT AS THAT PLANS ADAM DOWN!
Deadprez: BUT, JON KELTON IS NOT GOING TO LET ANY OF THAT SLIDE AS HE RUNS RIGHT AFTER DARYL KINKADE AS HE CONNECTS WITH A POWERFUL CLOTHESLINE AS THAT SENDS THEM BOTH TO THE OUTSIDE AND CRASHES ONTO THE FLOOR! HALSEY IS LOOKING TO CHECK ON DARYL, BUT LOOK AT ADAM LUCAS, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! HE FINDS HIMSELF ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE AS HE IS FACING TOWARDS THE THREE ELITISTS ON THE OUTSIDE AS — ORIHARA MOONSAULT TO DARYL AND HALSEY ON THE OUTSIDE! THE CROWD IS ON THEIR FEET AT THE PIT!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: Meanwhile as we look back inside the ring it seems like TLA and Adam Lucas are looking at each other with smirks on their faces! They see that Pandora Paisley is totally vulnerable at the moment! Halsey Neel and Daryl Kinkade have been taken out of the equation for the time being! She finds herself involved in a two-on-one situation as TLA manages to get a good hold of Halsey as he tells Adam to go for the ‘Equalizer’ once more and we see Adam front flipping himself over the top rope before looking for the discus clothesline on Pandora!
Eve: PANDORA PAISLEY GETS HERSELF OUT OF THE WAY! ADAM LUCAS CONNECTS WITH THE ‘EQUALIZER’ ON TLA! ADAM IS LOOKING DOWN AT WHAT HE DID WITH ALL OF THE SHOCK IN THE WORLD! JON KELTON IS AT RINGSIDE AS HE’S COMPLETELY BLOWING UP A GASKET ON WHAT ADAM HAD JUST DID, BUT FROM BEHIND! DARYL KINKADE MANAGES TO PUSH JON INTO THE STEEL RING POST AT RINGSIDE THIS KNOCKS HIM BACK! ADAM IS ON HIS OWN AT THIS POINT OF THIS MATCH! BOTH OF HIS PARTNERS HAVE BEEN TAKEN DOWN! BUT, BEHIND HIM —
Deadprez: HALSEY NEEL CONNECTS WITH THE ‘REVOLVER’ — THE QUESTION MARK KICK AS THE FORMER ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION IS TAKEN DOWN! HALSEY ROLLS HIM OUT OF THE RING AS THAT LEAVES PANDORA PAISLEY AND TLA BACK INSIDE THE RING! TLA IS STILL DOWN AS IT SEEMS LIKE PANDORA IS GOING TO GO FOR THE COVER ON HIM!
Gavin Kirkland: BUT, TLA GETS PANDORA PAISLEY BY THE ARM AS HE IS LOOKING TO CINCH IN ‘CROSSED PATHS’ — THE CROSS ARMBREAKER ON ‘THE HELLCAT!’ NO! PANDORA MANAGES TO GET HERSELF TO HER KNEES, BUT TLA IS STILL LOOKING TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS MOVE IS EXECUTED —
Eve: PANDORA PAISLEY WITH A SCHOOL GIRL ROLL UP ON TLA! IS SHE GOING TO GET AN UPSET VICTORY RIGHT HERE?!?!?
OOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
Deadprez: SHE HAS THE TIGHTS GRABBED!!!!!! HOW IS THIS ANY FAIR??? BUT, LOOK ADAM LUCAS IS STILL SHOWING SIGNS OF FIGHT AS HE LAUNCHES TOWARDS THE RING!!!!!
TTTTTTTTWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
Gavin Kirkland: HALSEY NEEL IS ABLE TO GRAB ADAM LUCAS BY HIS LEGS AND PULL HIM AWAY FROM THE RING!!!!!
TTTTTTTHHHHHHHHRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘Just Stop’ begins to blast through the speakers as Pandora Paisley quickly slides out of the ring before anyone from the opposing team can go after her. Halsey Neel and Daryl Kinkade are the first ones to hold onto her and help her up to her feet.)
Gina Romano: THE WINNER OF THIS MATCH…THE TEAM OF DARYL KINKADE AND THE BRITISH INVASION!!!!!!!!
Eve: An upset as Pandora Paisley manages to pick up a win over a Hall of Famer and World Champion in this match up!
Deadprez: That is a bit controversial there, but Pandora Paisley and the rest of her team tonight where really able to eliminate Jon Kelton and Adam Lucas out of the equation as —
Gavin Kirkland: TLA JUST THREW A PUNCH TO ADAM LUCAS! THIS IS SO UNLIKE TLA!
Eve: But, Adam Lucas SHOVES TLA back as he crashes onto Jon Kelton, who was standing behind TLA! Now, it seems like Jon might have taken that a bit personally as — the three men are now imploding on each other! Each of these three Elitists are throwing shots at one another! They’re picking up things where they left off at the beginning of the show!
(Three out of the four number participants at the fatal-4-way at Fighting Spirit are brawling with each other. All of them having their own clear frustrations about how this match went. It didn’t go their way and the Brits were able to take advantage of the situation presented to them. Meanwhile, The British Invasion and Daryl Kinkade are watching this entire thing go down like the evil little shits they are. They feel more than proud of their handiwork.)
Deadprez: Those three feel so good about what they did! They think that things might be looking good for Daryl Kinkade as he heads towards the fatal-4-way at Fighting Spirit? But, there’s so many unclear answers to where our road to Pain for Pride will lead too! But, we can only hope that those questions will be answered soon enough! Signing off for Gavin Kirkland and Eve, I’m Deadprez and goodnight from Albuquerque!
(The last shot is of Jon Kelton, Adam Lucas and TLA fighting amongst each other in the midst of a heated exchange of words while the British Invasion look on with smiles on their faces.)
