(EAW intro plays.)
(The camera opens to a recap of last week’s Voltage, starting with New Eden inside of the ring for their final show in charge. After a while of not speaking, Drake would tell Minerva that the two of them will start the Extreme Elimination Chamber since she insisted the Chamber was reinstated, which angers Minerva. Following this, Jay Jerry Johnson cuts a promo promising to win the New Breed Championship, and this is followed by Jay’s match against McCall Everett, which he wins before Jon Kelton walks out, saying he has no problem finishing what Amir started. Following this, Kelin defeats a local competitor before issuing an open challenge, which is answered by McCall Everett. Following this, Josh reunites with Jake Smith, and after Jake notices Holly’s disappointment, he says that if she wants, she can come visit him, which she agrees to. Kirk Redwood defeats the Woogieman afterwards, and after this Lucas Johnson talks to Mary S. Atlas backstage, and attacks her in response to last week. After this Miku Sakai defeats Shane Gates, and following this Candice Blair expresses her concerns of teaming with Alex Myers to Danny Tanner, before Alex would show up to belittle Danny. After Alex leaves, Candice tells Danny that soon nobody will be able to say that he doesn’t belong here. Following this, Myles defeats Lucas Johnson, and as the camera fades backstage, Kirk Redwood is seen having a drunk rant with McCall Everett, before noticing Shane Gates. Kirk and Shane argue for a moment, before Kirk smashes a bottle on Shane’s head. As the camera stays backstage, Drake King accidentally bumps into Ms. Extreme, which leads to a conversation about Ms. Extreme’s wrestling career and how she’s been an inspiration, clearly trying to brush past what happened with them weeks ago. After this, Ms. Extreme takes out Holly Arrow and Rebecca Blackwell during their match, before grabbing a microphone and cutting a promo about how everyone in her Extreme Elimination Chamber will need luck on their side. Cameron Ella Ava is seen cutting a promo after this, promising that she’ll not only get revenge for what happened to Jamie, but defeat Myles at Road to Redemption. After this, Jake Smith pins Candice Blair in the big eight-person tag main event after Alex distracted Candice by messing with Danny using a lighter. Afterwards, the four competitors in the Extreme Elimination Chamber would brawl with New Eden, ending the show as officials come out to separate the seven Elitists.)
(‘33rd Blakk Glass’ by Sosmula and ZillaKami hits, and the crowd in the Rocket Mortgage Field House in Cleveland, Ohio explodes, knowing that finally Voltage will be going back to normal. Pyro shoots out to the sky as the camera pans around the crowd, until finally the camera cuts to the commentary table, where James Peters, Rich Russillo, and Persephone Tsitsipas are seated.)
James Peters: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to Sunday night Voltage, the final Voltage before Road to Redemption!
Rich Russillo: And more importantly, the first Voltage in an entire month where New Eden is no longer in charge!
Persephone: Thank God, I’ve been waiting for this moment forever. I never thought I’d be this happy to see Voltage go back to normal.
Rich Russillo: Tonight is going to be great, I can just feel it!
( ‘Self Help Tape’ by Moses Sumney hits to an absolutely thunderous ovation from the sold-out crowd inside the Rocket Mortgage Field House in Cleveland, Ohio. To say the fans are happy to see Captain Charisma, Voltage’s Commissioner, would be an understatement. For the last 30 days, Captain Charisma has been at home while New Eden has held Voltage in the palm of their hands, and the EAW Universe has absolutely HATED it. The only bright spot has been what seems to be a little tension brewing between New Eden. )
( The camera focuses in on Bella Braxton, who is standing in the middle of the ring. She is grinning from ear-to-ear. )
Bella Braxton: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN… PLEASE WELCOME BACK TO VOLTAGE… THE VOLTAGE COMMISSIONER AND EAW HALL OF FAMER… CAPTAIN CHARISMA!!!!
( The camera cuts to the stage and as soon as Captain Charisma walks out, the cheers nearly blow the roof off the building! Captain Charisma just eats this shit up as he begins to make his way to the ring. )
Persephone: Fucking finally! It’s been 84 years and I can still see the horror that unfolded when New Eden was in charge of this shitshow. No swearing. Tame matches. Hardly any violence. The random ass attacks that happened were mild for Voltage standards obviously, and I’m really just fucking ready to scream fuck as many times as I goddamn well please! I hope Captain Charisma is really about to announce every match going forward will be a deathmatch because that is the only way this shit is gunna get made up to me.
James Peters: It does feel good to see Captain Charisma back :drakelike:! For 30 days, Voltage was under the control of the EAW World Champion, Drake King, and his New Eden teammates, the National Elite Champion, Minerva, and the Cash in the Vault holder, Myles. It just wasn’t the same show. I know that we’re branded as Elite Answers Wrestling now, and trust me, all of our men and women are elite athletes and the very best of the best. But I love how Captain Charisma isn’t afraid to bring Voltage back to this company’s roots.
Rich Russillo: Our commissioner is one of the greatest Hardcore Champions of all time, after all, and even if he lets people cross the line every now and then, Captain Charisma has always been fair and let everyone fight it out. I know New Eden think he’s corrupt, but even when they’ve gone above and beyond to make Captain Charisma’s life Hell, he always did his best to put his ego aside and treat them with respect.
( With Captain Charisma in the ring now, the commentary trio quiets down. ‘Self Help Tape’ fades out, but the fans aren’t quiet! Oh no! They let Captain Charisma know how much they missed him and he seems truly touched by their reaction. Captain Charisma pats his chest which lets the crowd know how much this moment means to him and he produces a microphone from the back pocket of his jeans. )
Captain Charisma: Miss me?
Crowd: YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!
Captain Charisma: Come on now. You didn’t like New Eden being in charge?
Crowd: FUCK NEW EDEN! FUCK NEW EDEN! FUCK NEW EDEN! FUCK NEW EDEN! FUCK NEW EDEN! FUCK NEW EDEN! FUCK NEW EDEN! FUCK NEW EDEN! FUCK NEW EDEN!
Captain Charisma: :drakelike: Music to my ears. I gotta admit, I had the absolute lowest of expectations when it came to New Eden running Voltage. Truly, I did. But other than enforcing a no swearing rule and making Jake Smith compete in a three-on-one handicap match, they didn’t do nearly the amount of damage I thought they would. So either Drake and friends are all talk, or they truly do want to see Voltage become a more pure, well-rounded product. Fuck I know at this point, but I’m not going to waste anymore time questioning it. I truly thought I would have to come back in and clean up one gigantic mess after the next, but I’ve barely had to lift a finger since returning to the office. If nothing else, Minerva herself did the dirty work for me when she reinstated the Extreme Elimination Chamber match at Road to Redemption. She hit the nail on the head. There is no way I would have let this match stay cancelled, and I damn sure wouldn’t have put her inside of it either. That’s not because I don’t think Minerva deserves a world championship shot. She absolutely does, but she’s also the reigning and defending National Elite Champion. She would be defending that championship at Road to Redemption instead of competing in the chamber, but I’m not mad about it. Her decision caused tension within New Eden, and I always knew in the back of my mind that if they were given even the smallest amount of power, they would end up self-destructing.
Captain Charisma: The implosion hasn’t happened yet, but it’s coming, and with both Minerva AND Drake inside that structure with everything on the line that matters to them? Shit’s going down and I can’t wait to have a front row seat to it. But I’m not going to waste anymore time talking about the Extreme Elimination Chamber. Later on tonight, all of the competitors for that match will be out here, and I’m sure that’s going to be interesting. Road to Redemption is one of my favorite events of the entire season, and I know that the men and women of Voltage are going to show up and show out like they always do. I’m big on brand pride and making sure Voltage sets the standard, and the matches that have come together over the last few weeks are incredible to say the least. Personally, Cameron Ella Ava versus Myles is a blockbuster of a match, and one that I’m excited to see play out. Candice Blair will get the chance to finally squash the beef her and Danny Tanner have going on with Alex Myers in, of all things, an Inferno Match. It’s been awhile since EAW has had one of those. In addition to our EAW World Championship chamber, Ms. Extreme will defend the Universal Women’s Championship inside of a chamber for the first time since 2017! I look forward to seeing how Holly Arrow and Rebecca Blackwell step up for this huge match! And of course, three other Voltage Elitists find themselves in high profile singles matches. Our Specialist Champion, Miku Sakai, faces her toughest challenge to date for the belt in the form of Harper Lee, and Jay Jerry Johnson has the chance to win his first ever title when he faces the new champion, Jon Kelton, for the New Breed Championship. If all that wasn’t enough, one of the talented stars on Voltage and a future champion in his own right, Donovan Duke, will be defending his 24/7 Contract against Showdown’s Ronan Malosi. Wow. Just wow.
( The crowd, who were buzzing this entire time, let out a huge cheer after Captain Charisma was finished speaking. Like always, Voltage Elitists are doing big things across all three brands, and there’s no doubt that someone like Captain Charisma is passionate about his roster. He is determined to see them all shine and have the best possible opportunities. Road to Redemption is a showcase of this. )
Captain Charisma: I love it. Road to Redemption is our mid-season finale and as soon as the new year starts up, you all know what’s going to happen. We’re going to be on the road to Pain for Pride. Every single match counts from here on out, and I’m happy to announce that in the next couple of weeks, the King of Elite and Empress of Elite tournaments will be beginning. Shock Value will be Voltage’s only brand exclusive free-per-view of the second half of the season, so expect huge, blockbuster matches for that! EAW is going international again next year, and I know our fans across the world are excited over that! Season 15 is going to conclude with a trifecta of big events that include Grand Rampage, Battle of Egypt III: Alexandria Falls, and of course the mecca… Pain for Pride. I don’t know about you guys, but I’m stoked. The second-half of the season is fucking stacked. :wow:
Captain Charisma: Sooooooo with that being said, let’s bring back to the present. I know I already hyped up Road to Redemption, but I have to talk about our end of the year show. An Aussie Summer Christmas Spectacular is going to be a great show. Minerva will defend the National Elite Championship against Ryan Wilson, and of course The Haircare Kings will get their chance at the Unified Tag Team Championships when they face off against Harlow Reichert and Xavier Williams. In addition to that, I would like to announce two more matches. I see you Lucas Johnson, Mary S. Atlas, Kirk Redwood, and Shane Gates. I see you. I hear you. And at the Aussie show, Lucas will take on Mary, and Kirk will face Shane! I expect all four of you to show up and show out, and give your respective matches your all. And with that, I’ve said pretty much all I’ve got to say. It feels incredible to be back and believe me, I don’t plan on having to step back anytime soon. Voltage is going to continue being the best, the most competitive, and yes, the most violent and hard-hitting brand in all of EAW, and if you don’t like it… then don’t let the door hit ya on the way out! Enjoy the show, everyone!
( And with that, Captain Charisma drops the microphone and ‘Self Help Tape’ begins to play again. The crowd is on their feet, happy to have Captain Charisma back, and with that, Voltage fades into the first commercial break of the night. )

[SCREENBAR – Voltage, July 11th, 2021.]
(Voltage returns to ringside as Bella Braxton is seen standing at the center of the ring ready to call the final match)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen, the following is your MAIN EVENT!!! And it is a Champion versus Champion bout scheduled for…
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
(‘Cold War’ by Hans Zimmer plays up to a deafening amount of boos from the crowd in response as Drake King is seen making his way out to the stage. He’s dragging the EAW World Championship behind him as it’s apparent that he’s unhappy, it doesn’t help to see the crowd in attendance at all. He takes a deep breath before shaking his head as he makes his way down the ramp and towards the ring)
Bella Braxton: Introducing first… residing in The Dead Sea… weighing in at 220 pounds… he is the EAW WORLD CHAMPION!!!!!!!!!!! THE LAST MESSIAH… DRAKE THE REDEEMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: Well I think the frustration on Drake’s face is self explanatory. Earlier in the night New Eden vented their frustrations on a lot of things regarding the Voltage brand, especially being drafted last taking into consideration their Championship status. It didn’t help that they were interrupted by Justin Windgate and Chris Elite that got into so much of an argument that Captain Charisma made their match a Number One Contendership match for the EAW World Championship.
James Peters: It’s apparent that it made Drake’s blood boil and he’s bringing that anger into this match. He has a lot on his hands tonight in the main event tonight when he goes up against a formidable opponent. But it’s clear at the same time that he has other things on his mind.
Persephone: God who cares, but let’s speak facts. No matter how much I like him or not, I think he did us a favor beating that fatfuck Xander Payne last week. The last thing I want him doing is representing Voltage as a World Champion, a part of me believed that this was the only logical solution.
James Peters: What does beating him in the main event have anything to do with him being on Voltage if he was a first round pick :dahell:.
Persephone: Destiny.
(Drake makes his way to the bottom rope and tosses the EAW World Championship over the top rope without a care in mind. He turns around and makes his way up the steel steps and onto the apron. He turns around and looks at the booing crowd in front of him, completely disgusted, before entering into the ring and making his way towards his corner. He scrunches his face for a good moment before getting ready for his match as ‘Cold War’ fades out from there)
(‘Zombie’ by Bad Wolves plays up as the negative reaction from the crowd turns into loud cheers as Ms. Extreme makes her way out to the ring. She has a smile on her face as she looks at the Universal Women’s Championship before patting it on her shoulder. She then takes it and raises it in the air with pure confidence before she makes her way down the ramp, still holding it high in the air as the crowd continues to cheer and show their support towards her)
Bella Braxton: And his opponent… from Calabasas, California… weighing in at 135 pounds… she is the EAW UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION!!!!!!!!!! THE RED QUEEN… MS. EXTREME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: Just as we can read the expression of Drake, I think it’s clear what’s on Ms. Extreme’s mind. She absolutely destroyed IDOL-GUN earlier in the night and I’m sure after what happened at the Draft that has to bring her great satisfaction.
James Peters: You have to question if that’s going to come back and bite her tonight, but I’m sure that’s not the thing that’s on her mind at the moment. She’s coming into this match with the intent to win and if there’s anything that stands in her way even if it’s her opponent tonight or IDOL-GUN, I’m sure she will not have a problem in the world taking care of them if it means getting what she wants as a result.
Persephone: I personally think the only thing they should be doing in that ring is professing their love to one another, it would be much better than whatever borefest of a match they’re about to have with one another. Admit it, they’re in love.
(Ms. Extreme makes her way up the steel steps and onto the apron, letting the crowd show their support as she hypes them up before entering into the ring. She turns and makes her way up to the turnbuckle, holding up her title once again with both hands before jumping off and down down the canvas. She then makes her way over over her corner to get ready as ‘Zombie’ fades out and the ref signals for the bell)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Rich Russillo: Here we go as your main event is officially underway! Both Drake and Ms. Extreme are slowly beginning to circle around the ring, taking their time and assessing the situation before they go at it. Both of them seem to be meeting up for a collar-and-elbow tie up to start this one, as they lock up! Both Drake and Ms. Extreme are jockeying for position, trying to get some sort of leverage as this match begins. Drake quickly locking in a headlock, putting the pressure on Ms. Extreme for a moment as she tries to find a way out of it! Drake attempting to drop all his weight to keep himself in place, BUT IT’S PROVEN INEFFECTIVE AS MS. EXTREME LIFTS DRAKE OFF THE GROUND AND DROPS HIM DOWN WITH A BACK SUPLEX TO THE CANVAS!
James Peters: What strength being shown by the Universal Women’s Champion! Drake is hurt but Ms. Extreme isn’t waiting, quickly transitioning and locking in a side headlock! The tables quickly turn in this match Drake trying his best to reach his legs out to the ropes in an attempt to take the easy way out of this with a rope break, but instead decides to bring his leg back and kick the back of Ms. Extreme’s head forcing the hold to break! Ms. Extreme grabbing her head as she staggers back up to her feet and turns around, DRAKE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF IT AS HE RUNS FORWARD AND TAKES HER DOWN TO THE MAT WITH A SLING BLADE!
Persephone: :yikes: This is boring, my suffering will pay off though if they kiss in the ring.
Rich Russillo: This is beginning to pick up and both of them realize that and seem to be adjusting their gameplan. Ms. Extreme slowly getting up, Drake is lurking though as he grabs her arm and sends her into an Irish whip towards the ropes! BUT MS. EXTREME RUNS THE ROPES AND CONNECTS WITH A CALF KICK BEFORE DRAKE CAN DO ANYTHING! Drake instead is taken down to the ground as it’s become apparent that both of them are not willing to give an inch especially in the opening moments of this Champion versus Champion bout. Drake rolls towards the bottom rope to help himself up to his feet before anything can go further south for him, BUT MS. EXTREME ISN’T STOPPING AS SHE SENDS ‘THE LAST MESSIAH’ OVER THE TOP ROPE WITH A VICIOUS CLOTHESLINE!
James Peters: Drake barely managing to land on the apron as opposed to tumbling to the outside, but Ms. Extreme isn’t letting him catch a break as she sends a forearm towards his face! But Drake quickly blocks it and sends one of his own as a counter! Ms. Extreme stumbles backwards stunned momentarily, BUT BEFORE SHE CAN FULLY RECOVER DRAKE SPRINGBOARDS OFF THE ROPES AND TAKES HER TO THE GROUND WITH A CLOTHESLINE! Ms. Extreme is hurting as Drake runs to the ropes and back while she brings herself up to a seated position, BUT SHE’S TAKEN BACK DOWN TO THE GROUND WITH A PENALTY KICK BY THE EAW WORLD CHAMPION!
Persephone: Careful, he might hear you. The poor little dude is sensitive and doesn’t like being called the Champion that much.
James Peters: Well, I think it’s much more than that :krabs:.
Persephone: It’s like I asked.
Rich Russillo: Ms. Extreme is down but not for long, she’s making an attempt to swiftly get back up to her feet but I don’t think Drake approves much of that. She’s up, BUT DRAKE IS RIGHT BACK TO RUNNING LOOKING TO TAKE HER DOWN WITH A RUNNING FOREARM SMASH! But Ms. Extreme ducks under it and instead catches Drake with a side kick to his abdomen forcing him backwards! Drake grabbing onto his gut for a good moment but he’s still continuing to approach Ms. Extreme, BUT NOT BEFORE HE’S CAUGHT WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD! Drake grabs his head as he drops down to a knee, BUT BEFORE HE CAN GET BACK UP MS. EXTREME FOLLOWS UP WITH A BICYCLE KICK TO HIS HEAD TAKING HIM DOWN TO THE MAT!
James Peters: Both Drake and Ms. Extreme are going back and forth so far as it’s indecisive who has the upperhand at this point. Drake is grabbing at his face clearly hurt, but he’s already dragging himself back up before Ms. Extreme can continue to take advantage of the opportunity that she has in front of her. But that might be easier said than done, AS SOON AS DRAKE GETS UP MS. EXTREME GRABS HIM AND GOES FOR AN EXPLODER SUPLEX! But Drake manages to halt that before it’s too late as he sends elbow shots to the side of her head trying to get her to let go before impact! Ms. Extreme is finally forced to let go, she steps back but is attempting to get right back on the assault. BUT DRAKE SENDS A DISCUS LARIAT TO HER HEAD TO TAKE HER DOWN TO THE MAT!
(Ms. Extreme is taken down to the mat, grabbing her neck while Drake circles around her. No words need to be said, the simple gesture of Drake shaking his head in disappointment is all that’s needed)
Persephone: God they’re so weird.
Rich Russillo: Ms. Extreme is slowly beginning to drag herself up, it’s become clear in the process that Drake isn’t playing any games when it comes to this match. Drake grabbing Ms. Extreme by the arm as he pushes her against the ropes and sends her into an Irish whip, BEFORE TAKING HER BACK DOWN TO THE MAT BY SENDING A BACK ELBOW FLUSH TO THE BRIDGE OF HER NOSE! That had to hurt as it seems that Ms. Extreme is finding it hard at the moment to get back into this match with the offense of Drake King at the moment. But if there’s one thing we know about her, it’s not a foreign situation whatsoever.
James Peters: Drake once again grabbing Ms. Extreme by the arm and sending her into an Irish whip, this time into the corner! Drake taking a step back and running forward, GOING FOR A JUMPING KNEE TOWARDS THE FACE OF A CORNERED MS. EXTREME! But she manages to move out of the way causing Drake to collide with the corner! Drake stumbles backwards trying to keep himself upwards, BUT MS. EXTREME GRABS HIM AND LIFTS HIM UP INTO THE AIR BEFORE DROPPING HIM FACE FIRST ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE WITH SNAKE EYES! Drake taken down to the mat while Ms. Extreme aims to go to the top rope, LOOKING TO FLY OFF THE TOP ROPE BEFORE DRAKE CAN FULLY RECOVER!
Persephone: HAH! Bitch took too long.
Rich Russillo: Whatever Ms. Extreme had planned she’s going to have to put it on hold for the time being, because Drake just rushed forward and joined her on the top rope! This is not a good situation for either of them as it looks like they’re wasting absolutely no time beginning to trade punches with one another! Both of them have no room for error on the top rope and they’re fighting like they’re lives depend on it! Ms. Extreme with a solid uppercut to the jaw of Drake to stun him momentarily, but Drake sends a headbutt to her skull! That had to hurt as Ms. Extreme seems to be off balance for a second, and I think Drake is taking advantage of that and setting her up.
James Peters: SUPERPLEX OFF THE TOP ROPE! DRAKE ISN’T DONE AS HE ROLLS THROUGH AND SEAMLESSLY TRANSITIONS INTO A FALCON ARROW! MS. EXTREME IS DOWN AS DRAKE HOOKS THE LEG AND GOES FOR A PIN ATTEMPT!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
Persephone: Ugh, she kicked out.
Rich Russillo: Drake sitting back up knowing that it wasn’t enough, pulling himself back up to his feet and looking to continue to assault right now. Ms. Extreme is attempting to crawl up as fast as she can, but Drake is already praying on her as he brings her back up to her feet. BEFORE SENDING HER TO THE ROPES AND ONCE AGAIN CATCHING HER WITH ANOTHER SLING BLADE! But Ms. Extreme manages to move out of the way before it can happen and instead throw Drake to the ropes as a counter, BEFORE RUNNING TOWARDS HIM AND SENDING A KNEE TO HIS GUT AS HE’S PRESSED UP AGAINST THE CORNER! Ms. Extreme once again with an Irish whip, BEFORE TAKING DRAKE DOWN TO THE GROUND THIS TIME WITH A SWIFT KITCHEN SINK!
James Peters: Drake is taken down to the mat with a sickening thud as immediately he’s right out of the ring seeing the tides turn. Drake stumbling backwards towards the barricade and leaning against it for a second, now stepping forward and looking to slide into the ring. BUT MS. EXTREME OFF THE APRON FLYING OFF AND TAKING DRAKE DOWN WITH A BIG CROSSBODY! Drake is taken down to the mat as Ms. Extreme begins to send a flurry of punches downwards towards the face of Drake as he’s trying to block it to the best of his abilities! Drake shoving away as both of them are back up, AND DRAKE CATCHES MS. EXTREME WITH A SUPERKICK TO HER JAW! Drake attempting to get the upper hand, BUT MS. EXTREME PUSHES HIM AGAINST THE BARRICADE BEFORE ROLLING HIM BACK INTO THE RING! Ms. Extreme quickly sliding back into the ring while Drake is down.
Persephone: No worries guys, this is just how true love forms. Take it from me, an extraordinaire.
Rich Russillo: Is that true?! 😍😍😍
Persephone: Nevermind, just keep commentating the fucking match.
Rich Russillo: WELL WHILE THAT WAS HAPPENING DRAKE QUICKLY RECOVERED AND DROPPED MS. EXTREME DOWN TO THE MAT WITH DAWN OF JUSTICE! THE PEDIGREE CONNECTS AS DRAKE TAKES ADVANTAGE AND WEARILY HOOKS THE LEG FOR A PIN ATTEMPT!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHHRRRRRRRRR-
James Peters: NOT JUST YET AS MS. EXTREME GETS THE SHOULDER UP! I think it’s become pretty apparent that beating a World Champion isn’t going to be so easy for Drake in this match. Drake slowly pulling himself back up to his feet and waiting for Ms. Extreme to do the same thing. She brings herself up, but isn’t fast enough as Drake approaches and sends an overhand punch towards the back of her head! A simple but effective attack as Drake brings Ms. Extreme up, POSSIBLY GOING FOR A DDT TO DRILL HER HEAD TO THE GROUND! But she manages to push towards the ropes and force Drake to let go of the hold before he can fully execute it! Believe what you want about how this match is going so far, Ms. Extreme is not giving up for a second and showing her fighting spirit.
Persephone: I’d rather her give up rather than continue this depressing show.
Rich Russillo: Now Ms. Extreme is taking advantage and completely unloading on Drake with punch after punch towards his face in hopes of leveling him! Drake attempts to block as much as he can, but the best he can do is shove her away! Drake trying to get some offense back in his corner running towards her, BUT MS. EXTREME GRABS HIM AND TAKES HIM DOWN TO THE MAT WITH A BELLY-TO-BELLY SUPLEX! Drake takes a hard tumble to the ground but brings himself up to a seated position, BUT HE’S TAKEN RIGHT BACK DOWN TO THE MAT AS MS. EXTREME CONNECTS WITH A KICK TO THE SIDE OF HIS HEAD TO TAKE HIM DOWN COMPLETELY!
James Peters: Drake grabbing his head and quickly rolling to the ropes trying to help himself up, BUT MS. EXTREME RUNS FORWARD AND SENDS A KNEE TO THE SIDE OF HIS HEAD! She’s putting the pressure on making sure that Drake can get absolutely zero offense in this match right now. Drake still managing to hold himself up leaning against the ropes, BUT MS. EXTREME ISN’T DONE AS SHE RUNS FORWARD AND CONNECTS WITH ANOTHER ONE TO TAKE HIM DOWN TO THE MAT!
Persephone: Maybe if you do more he’ll get brain damage, do it! Do it! It’ll be the only good thing you do adopted Ava!
Rich Russillo: Drake falling to the ground but he’s grabbing onto the bottom turnbuckle as much as he can. He’s slowly beginning to drag himself back up to his feet as Ms. Extreme begins to approach him. Drake is backed against the corner, BUT BEFORE HE CAN DO ANYTHING MS. EXTREME GOES FOR A CORNER CLOTHESLINE! Which Drake barely moves out of the way of! Ms. Extreme turning around before anything can happen, BUT IT’S TOO LATE AS DRAKE POPS HER UP ON HIS SHOULDERS AND SENDS HIM INTO THE TURNBUCKLE PADDING WITH A BUCKLE BOMB!
James Peters: Ms. Extreme is taken down to the ground but is slowly starting to stagger up to her feet. Drake is slowly waiting for her to get back up to her feet, AS HE KICKS HER IN THE GUT AND GOES FOR ASCENSION! DOUBLE UNDERHOOK FACEBUSTER ATTEMPT BY DRAKE KING TO TAKE MS. EXTREME DOWN TO THE MAT!
Persephone: Unfortunately, the move doesn’t connect and we have to sit through even more of this match; what a shame.
Rich Russillo: BUT MS. EXTREME WITH ABSOLUTELY ABNORMAL STRENGTH MANAGES TO LIFT DRAKE OVER HER HEAD AND TAKE HER DOWN TO THE GROUND! Drake is hurt but is still getting back up to his feet, BUT BEFORE HE CAN EVEN LOOK UP MS. EXTREME TAKES HIM BACK DOWN WITH AN ENZUIGIRI! She brings him back up, BEFORE SENDING HIM TO THE ROPES AND BACK AND TAKING HIM DOWN WITH A FOREARM SMASH! Drake is clearly hurt but I think the adrenaline that continues to course through his veins is pushing him upwards, AS MS. EXTREME GOES FOR ANOTHER FOREARM SMASH! But Drake manages to duck under that, GOING FOR A JUMPING KNEE!
James Peters: BUT BEFORE HE CAN DO THAT MS. EXTREME TAKES DRAKE TO THE MAT WITH A SPINNING HEEL KICK! Drake is down but not out as he staggers back up to his feet, BUT IS TAKEN RIGHT DOWN TO THE MAT WITH AN EXPLODER SUPLEX THIS TIME!! Ms. Extreme has a flurry of offense at the moment as she sends Drake to the ropes with an Irish whip, but Drake manages to hold on before he rebounds and she can capitalize! BUT SHE ISN’T HAVING IT AS MS. EXTREME SENDS DRAKE OVER THE TOP ROPE ONCE AGAIN WITH A CLOTHESLINE BEFORE HE CAN DO ANYTHING TO COUNTER!
Persephone: Hopefully this means one of them can get counted out! You guys do know that there’s easier ways to end matches right?!
Rich Russillo: BUT DRAKE KNOWS BETTER AS HE LANDS ON THE APRON AND GRABS THE HEAD OF MS. EXTREME AS HE BRINGS HER ONTO THE APRON WITH HIM! Both of them are slowly getting up as its clear they’re in a tricky predicament at the moment. Drake sends a kick towards the gut of Ms. Extreme forcing her to double over on the apron, BUT MS. EXTREME GRABS DRAKE AND RAMS HIM SPINE FIRST INTO THE RINGPOST! Drake is clearly hurt but manages to keep a hold of his surroundings and stay on the apron for the time being. Both of them are back to trading punches back and forth in hopes of getting the upper hand, but Ms. Extreme shakes it up as she sends a sharp elbow strike to his nose! Ms. Extreme going for a side-kick to Drake’s gut! BUT DRAKE JUMPS OFF THE APRON AND SWEEPS THE LEG OF MS. EXTREME TAKING HER DOWN! Ms. Extreme manages to keep herself on the apron but she can barely stand at the moment.
James Peters: NO WAY! DRAKE WITH JUDGEMENT DAY! MS. EXTREME’S ENTIRE FACE WAS JUST CAVED INTO THE CANVAS BY A CURB STOMP COURTESY OF THE EAW WORLD CHAMPION! MS. EXTREME TUMBLES OFF THE APRON AND TO THE RINGSIDE AREA AS DRAKE HAS TO USE EVERY FIBER OF HIS BEING TO BRING HER BACK UP TO HER FEET AND ROLL HER BACK INTO THE RING! DRAKE HOOKS THE LEG AND GOES FOR THE PIN! COULD THIS POSSIBLY SPELL THE END OF THE MATCH RIGHT HERE?!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
…
…
…
Persephone: FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK!
Rich Russillo: HOW MUCH DID THAT TAKE TO KICK OUT OF THAT! MS. EXTREME GETS THE SHOULDER UP JUST IN TIME! THIS MATCH CONTINUES! The sheer determination shows how much a win of this caliber would mean to her in the long run, and it’s apparent that she’s not going to give up. But Drake on the other hand doesn’t seem to approve of this as he’s back up to a seated position completely baffled why Ms. Extreme was able to kick out of such a move on the apron. Drake is back up to his feet as Ms. Extreme is slowly beginning to show some sign of life in the process. She’s up to all fours and I think Drake knows what he needs to do next. DRAKE RUNNING TO THE ROPES AND GOING FOR ONE MORE JUDGEMENT DAY! SECOND CURB STOMP ATTEMPT!
James Peters: But Ms. Extreme manages to move out of the way just in the nick of time! Drake meets nothing as he stumbles down to the ground, AND IS CAUGHT WITH A AXE KICK BY MS. EXTREME TO TAKE HIM DOWN TO THE GROUND! You can see the look of exhaustion on her face but even then she still hasn’t been able to be kept down by the EAW World Champion in this match no matter what she’s been put through.
Persephone: Why not use some explosives or something. Come on, I fail to see the purpose of ignoring me. I always have genius ideas, BLOW THEM UP!
Rich Russillo: Ms. Extreme is still feeling the effects of the Judgement Day Curb Stomp on the apron by Drake but if there’s one thing that we know, is that this match is going to finish when she says so. Ms. Extreme slowly climbing up to the top rope with as much energy as she has left, which just beckons the question: how much farther can she go in this match? It’s clear that she’s not done yet though as she finds herself on the top rope, setting up for a big move! MS. EXTREME LEAPING OFF THE TOP ROPE AND GOING FOR A SHOOTING STAR SENTON! WHAT A MOVE!
James Peters: BUT IT’S INEFFECTIVE AS DRAKE MANAGES TO GET THE KNEES UP BEFORE IT CAN CONNECT! That impact had to hurt as Ms. Extreme is rolling around in a world of hurt, AND DRAKE IS TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THAT AS HE DROPS DOWN AND LOCKS THE UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION INTO SCRIPTURE AT THE CENTER OF THE RING! The Koji Clutch is locked in and if there’s one way to win this match, it’s by submitting your opponent! And I think that’s exactly what Drake has planned right now as he pulls back on the head of Ms. Extreme! Ms. Extreme is trying her best to reach out to the ropes but as mentioned before she’s dead at the center of the ring, I don’t think she has much options in front of her at the moment!
Persephone: BREAK HER NECK! BREAK HER NECK!
Rich Russillo: Drake is screaming at the top of his lungs trying to get Ms. Extreme to tap out to the move but she isn’t giving up! The ref is asking her if she’s going to tap but Ms. Extreme is screaming at the top of her lungs, refusing to give up just yet as it’s clear the only thing that it’s doing is pissing Drake off even more. Both of them are fighting for dear life to stay afloat in this match, but I think Ms. Extreme has the better willpower beginning to send backhands with her trapped arm to the face of Drake! Drake trying to hold on as much as he can but I don’t think he can! THE HOLD IS LOOSED AS MS. EXTREME ROLLS THROUGH AND PINS DRAKE’S SHOULDERS TO THE MAT!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHHRRRRRRRRREEEE-
James Peters: BUT DRAKE KICKS OUT OF IT AND LETS GO OF THE HOLD! Ms. Extreme manages to turn it around and manage to break out of it as it saves her chances in this match just a little longer. It just asks the question, what is going to be enough? Both of them have put one another through hell and back, what will be the coup de grace? Both of them are back up and running towards one another, MS. EXTREME LOOKING TO TAKE DRAKE DOWN TO THE MAT WITH A SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMB!
Persephone: HAH SHE TRIPS AND FALLS!
Rich Russillo: NOT EXACTLY! DRAKE TURNS IT AROUND AND THIS TIME DROPS MS. EXTREME DOWN TO THE MAT WITH A JUMPING NECKBREAKER! What a fluid counter by Drake King as I think it’s clear that he knows damn well he can’t afford an error especially this far into the match; he has to perform to perfection. Drake stumbling back towards the corner attempting to keep himself upwards while Ms. Extreme is getting back up to her feet, which is exactly what she’s doing right now as she brings herself up to a knee, BUT IT’S DRAKE THAT APPROACHES HER AND GRABS HER TAKING HER DOWN TO THE MAT WITH AUTHORITY CONNECTING WITH A FALCON ARROW!
James Peters: Ms. Extreme is dropped down to the ground rolling in pain while grabbing her back, you can tell the physical toll of this match so far is beginning to kick in not just for her, but the both of them. Drake dropping down to a knee but using this time to catch his breath before this match continues. Ms. Extreme clawing at the canvas trying to crawl towards the bottom rope to effectively help herself up to her feet, but Drake isn’t having that as he grabs her by her head and brings her up to her feet. BEFORE GRABBING HER AND DROPPING HER DOWN TO THE GROUND WITH A SUPLEX!
Persephone: She’s like 100 pounds, how the hell can you not lift her :dahell:.
Rich Russillo: Well Ms. Extreme just dropped a knee down to the top of Drake’s head before he can fully execute it forcing him to drop her back down to the ground! Drake trying to keep ahold of her keeping a headlock locked in, but Ms. Extreme isn’t having it beginning to send shots to his body in hopes that he lets go! Drake shoving away, BUT THIS TIME GOING FOR AN ENZUIGIRI! But Ms. Extreme manages to duck under it as Drake lands on his knees in a world of hurt, BEFORE MS. EXTREME TAKES HIM DOWN TO THE MAT WITH AN ENZUIGIRI OF HER OWN!
James Peters: Ms. Extreme is finding herself leaning against the ropes using that as a crutch in hopes of staying upwards. You can see Drake trying to catch his breath because if there’s one thing he didn’t expect, is for Ms. Extreme to have her scouted at that very moment. He’s bringing himself back up to his feet but falls against the corner trying to keep himself up, WHICH MS. EXTREME TAKES ADVANTAGE OF RUNNING TOWARDS HIM AND GOING FOR A SHOULDER THRUST TO HIS ABDOMEN!
Persephone: Both of them are acting like this match has been going on for 2 hours. First off, thankfully not. Second off, Rexy would probably be sprinting around them by now.
Rich Russillo: But Drake manages to use the ropes to kick Ms. Extreme in the face before she can connect! And that could not have felt good for her as Drake grabs her and pushes her into the corner instead, BEFORE RUNNING FORWARD AND SENDING A SHARP KNEE STRIKE TO HER GUT! Ms. Extreme obviously hurting but Drake is keeping her up, before sending a chop towards her chest! Ms. Extreme isn’t going quietly though as she grabs him by his head and sends a forearm shot in response! That sends Drake backwards, which could be just what Ms. Extreme needs at the moment! AND I STAND CORRECTED AS SHE RUNS FORWARD AND TAKES DRAKE DOWN TO THE MAT WITH A CALF KICK TO HIS FACE!
James Peters: Drake grabbing his face in pain as he attempts to get up to a seated position, BUT IT’S MS. EXTREME THAT STOMPS DOWN WITH HER BOOT TOWARDS HIS FACE! Drake is feeling the overwhelming offense by the Universal Women’s Champion and desperately needs to find a way to counter that before it’s just too late! Drake attempting to get back up to his feet, BUT MS. EXTREME WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO THE FACE OF DRAKE! Drake is sent backwards, BUT CONNECTS WITH A KICK OF HIS OWN RIGHT ACROSS THE JAW! Both of them are managing to keep themselves up to their feet, BUT DRAKE WITH ANOTHER SUPERKICK FOR GOOD MEASURE! Ms. Extreme not falling just yet but stumbles backwards enough to back herself up against the ropes, Drake running towards her to take her down to the mat! BUT MS. EXTREME IS ONE STEP AHEAD GRABBING HIM AND PLANTING HIM DOWN TO THE MAT WITH A QUICK BULLDOG!
Persephone: God how hard can it really be? Put me in there with Ms. Extreme and I guarantee I’ll knock her ass out in seconds!
James Peters: It’s not like I value your safety, but no.
Rich Russillo: Drake and Ms. Extreme have been giving it their all in this match, but something has to give at some point! Both of them have been consistently going to the top rope in this match and it seems like they look to keep the trend up as Ms. Extreme quickly scales the turnbuckles and gets to the top rope while Drake is still trying to recover and get back up to his feet. MS. EXTREME LEAPS OFF THE TOP ROPE GOING FOR A METEORA ATTEMPT TO TAKE HER DOWN TO THE GROUND!
James Peters: BUT DRAKE IN MID AIR COUNTERS WITH A SUPERKICK BEFORE SHE CAN CONNECT! WHAT A QUICK THINKING BY THE EAW WORLD CHAMPION! Ms. Extreme definitely did not expect that as she stumbles backwards against the ropes but advances forward in hopes of getting herself back on track, BUT DRAKE ROLLS THROUGH WITH A SCHOOLBOY BEFORE TRANSITIONING TO A SUPERKICK TOWARDS HER JAW TO TAKE HER DOWN TO THE MAT! She’s taken down to the ground as Drake leaves the ring and goes onto the apron. This time it’s him climbing up to the top rope, if there’s a chance to finish this match it’s right now and he knows that. Drake is up on the top as he’s getting himself up, Ms. Extreme still down on the mat! DRAKE LEAPING OFF THE TOP ROPE, I THINK HE’S GOING FOR A PHOENIX SPLASH! WAIT! WAIT! GLASS CEILING! MS. EXTREME GETS UP JUST IN TIME AND JUMPS UP TO THE TOP ROPE WITH DRAKE AND TAKES HIM DOWN TO THE GROUND WITH THE TOP ROPE STUNNER! WHAT A MOVE BY THE UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION! AND I DON’T THINK SHE’S DONE JUST YET EITHER!
Persephone: I don’t care if she’s done or not, I just hope this match is done soon.
Rich Russillo: Ms. Extreme climbing up to the top rope, when the opportunity presents itself you know she’s not going to hesitate to take it! THIS IS THE CHANCE SHE NEEDED AS SHE LEAPS OFF THE TOP ROPE AND GOES FOR A BLIND FURY! DIVING DOUBLE FOOT STOMP TO POSSIBLY BE THE DECIDING FACTOR IN THIS MATCH!
James Peters: WHAT THE?! A MEMBER OF THE CROWD JUST TOSSED MS. EXTREME OFF THE TOP ROPE! WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?!
Persephone: Oh you fucking idiot it’s obviously those idiotic IDOL-GUN simps. But it’s hilarious seeing them jump over the barricade and defend their heroes :mjlol2:.
(DING! DING! DING! DING! DING!)
(The camera cuts over to the barricade as multiple members of the crowd are seen jumping it and sliding into the ring. They’re bombarding Ms. Extreme with stomps and kicks in pure anger and rage, and it’s clear with the fatigue and overwhelming numbers, the Universal Women’s Champion can’t do much to save herself at the moment)
Rich Russillo: THIS IS PAYBACK FOR WHAT HAPPENED EARLIER IN THE NIGHT! THE IDOL-GUN SIMPS ARE COMING IN TO GET REVENGE FOR THE APPARENTLY HEINOUS ACTIONS OF MS. EXTREME! IT’S BECOMING SO HARD TO SEE THROUGH THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE IN THE RING BUT IT’S CLEAR THEY’RE BEATING THE EVER LIVING SHIT OUT OF MS. EXTREME! WHERE THE HELL IS SECURITY?!
Persephone: They’re clearly just as entertained as I am about this, so it’s clear that they just can’t be bothered and are letting this happen. To be honest, I couldn’t agree more.
James Peters: FINALLY, SECURITY LOOKS TO BE COMING OUT TO RESTORING ORDER HERE! THEY’RE GETTING THEM AWAY FROM THE CHAMPION AND GIVING A HELPING HAND AT THE MOMENT! THEY LOOK ABSOLUTELY FURIOUS BUT SECURITY HAS THEM CONTAINED SLAPPING HANDCUFFS ONTO THEM WHILE DRAGGING THEM OUT OF THE RING VICIOUSLY! FINALLY!
(The camera gets a closeup look at Ms. Extreme as she’s down on the mat nursing a bloody nose after the fight. It’s clear she’s pissed off but can’t find it in her to get up. A few feet away, is none other than her opponent Drake King who is sitting up looking pretty angry as a result. Of course he ended up as collateral damage along with the match being ended prematurely and no matter if the match was going in his favor or not, he’s not happy about it. After a moment, he pulls himself up to his feet, shaking himself off and making his way towards Ms. Extreme. Both of them have made eye contact with one another before…)
Persephone: OMGOMGOMG DRAKE IS OFFERING TO HELP MS. EXTREME UP! I’M TELLING YOU! THIS IS HOW TRUE LOVE IS FORMED!
(Drake has his hand held out, Ms. Extreme looking at it with that same pissed off look on her face. She looks back up at him and sighs)
Rich Russillo: :damn: She just slapped his hand away!
Ms. Extreme: (Off-Mic) Fuck off, will you.
Drake King: (Off-Mic) :francis:
(Drake once again shakes his head in disappointment before turning around and ultimately leaving the ring. Ms. Extreme has finally managed to drag herself up to a seated position, wiping the blood from her nose as she looks towards the stage in pure frustration)
Ms. Extreme: (Off-Mic) I swear to God I am going to humiliate and destroy that bitch at Bloodsport.
James Peters: :krabs:
(She slams the mat in anger before rolling out of the ring and walking around ringside. Officials quickly make their way over in hopes of helping her, but Ms. Extreme only shoves them away. The final image seen for the night is Ms. Extreme making her way up the ramp shaking her head as Voltage completely fades to black from there)
(Promotional ad for Candice Blair versus Alex Myers at Road to Redemption.)
(The camera slowly fades to black before transitioning to a shot of Cameron Ella Ava’s first entrance in EAW; the look in her eyes is one of hope. A woman that was unknowingly about to begin the arguably the greatest female career in the history of not just EAW, but this business as a whole. The video cuts to different shots of her career. A shot of her winning multiple Vixen’s Championships, the Empire Cup, the Women’s World Championship, the Interwire Championship, Hall of Fame Championship, the Answers World Championship; highlighting multiple historic moments throughout her career as she built the incredible legacy she has. The video next cuts to Myles first day in EAW. It highlights his team with Xander Payne as the Wildcards and their Unified Tag Team Championship reign. The video highlights Myles’ rise throughout EAW. The match with Rex McAllister for the World Heavyweight Championship, winning the National Elite Championship, winning the Cash in the Vault briefcase at Pain for Pride XIV and his time in New Eden. We see a side by side shot of both Cameron and Myles the first time that we saw them in EAW before transitioning to a side by side shot of the wrestlers that they’ve become today. The camera slowly fades to black, but it’s certainly not the end of the video package.)
“I want a fight at Road to Redemption. If I’m going to help Voltage showcase pure competition then it’s only right that I continue showcasing it myself at one of the biggest events of the year, and there’s no better way for me to do that than by facing whoever wants to step up. I don’t care who it is. All I want is a challenge.”
(The screen remains black and all we’re able to hear is Myles’ voice issuing the open challenge which created the match that we’re going to see at Road to Redemption. The opening of “UltraNUMB” by Blue Stahli hits as the camera cuts to a shot of both Myles and Cameron Ella Ava standing face to face in the middle of the ring. We don’t have a chance to see any of the interactions throughout the last few weeks, but we are able to see multiple cuts of New Eden’s attack on Jamie O’Hara and the connection between Drake King and Ms. Extreme. The moments that have put Myles in the sights of Cameron Ella Ava; the targeting of her husband and being forced to watch as New Eden slowly gets into the head of her sister. We see some of the things that Cameron has done to people when she has found herself in this position. It shows her destroying Scott Diamond to win back the Hall of Fame Championship. It cuts to her war with Mr. DEDEDE after he had spent months tormenting her entire family. This isn’t a situation that Cameron Ella Ava has never found herself in; this is a situation where she constantly finds a way to elevate herself to a greater level than she had found herself before. Myles asked for competition, but with not only his actions, but the actions of all of New Eden – the Warlord may have received a challenge greater than he bargained for.)
(We’re shown a tale of the tape shot of the two; comparing their physical attributes and their accomplishments. It’s no secret that both are arguably sitting on different sides of the spectrum, but things aren’t so different if you compare where Cameron Ella Ava was when she was at the same stage in her career as Myles is now. The package ends as we’re met by Sofia Clarke sitting backstage.)
Sofia Clarke: Ladies and Gentlemen, we’re just a week away from another historic Road to Redemption. We’re going to have the chance to watch as names are going to go to war inside the Extreme Elimination Chamber for each of those World Championships respectively, but right now, I’ve been given the opportunity to speak with a man that is going to be competing in a match that isn’t about championships or accolades. Truthfully, I’m sure that I’d be given two different answers if I were to ask either you or your opponent about what this match is about at Road to Redemption. Thank you for the chance to sit down and talk, Myles.
(The camera shows Myles sitting across from Sophia.)
Myles: You’re right, Sofia. There isn’t a chance that Cameron Ella Ava would give you the same reasons for this match at Road to Redemption as I am now. I put that open challenge out weeks ago in the hope that the person that was brave enough to accept it was going to be the competition that I’ve been waiting for. You said it perfectly. This match at Road to Redemption isn’t about a championship or adding another accolade to either of our collections. This match is about two incredible WRESTLERS who are competing against each other in the spirit of competition. We walk out through that curtain and we leave absolutely everything we can physically muster inside that ring and give both this company and business the kind of match that it deserves to have. I had hope when her music hit, Sofia. I mean – that’s THE Cameron Ella Ava. She’s the woman that has managed to almost do it all in this company. She could walk away today and never look back ashamed of any part of her career. She COULD have been the perfect person to answer that challenge, but she instead allows herself to look towards Road to Redemption jaded. It’s not about competition for her at Road to Redemption. It’s not about giving this business what it deserves or highlighting the aspects of this business that should be highlighted. Cameron took that first step forward because she holds onto this idea of chasing revenge. She wants revenge for what we’ve done. We’re meant to be bad people for the things that we did to Jamie O’Hara, no matter the fact that he constantly spoke about wanting to walk away from this business as Kassidy Heart begged him to compete against her at Pain for Pride. We’re bad people for giving Hathaway a parent that can now stay at home and actually be a parent, instead of putting themselves first and neglecting the child that they’re meant to be raising together. Cameron should be thanking us. The world knows that Jamie was always the better wrestler – now we’ve given him the chance to be the better parent too.
(Sofia raises her eyebrows at that last statement, but as the constant professional that she is, she continues on with the interview anyway.)
Sofia Clarke: But, Myles – with Cameron’s intentions leading into Road to Redemption; couldn’t you say that this could elevate her game even further and create the competition that you originally wanted?
Myles: Well, of course it could. But, it’s not going to translate into what it should. There’s always going to be that moment where Cameron’s going to look for more. She’s always going to be looking for that moment where she truly believes that she’s going to find revenge for a battle that she shouldn’t be trying to fight. There’s a hundred other people sitting backstage that could have walked through that curtain and fought for the reasons that they should. Can Cameron really look at her family and believe that they’re REALLY worth that much to fight for? Are they really worth making the same mistakes that Jamie did? Is all this really worth losing the rest of your family over? Camille said it to her directly. She tried to convince her to fight Jamie’s battles for her. But, is Cameron’s intentions really fighting for Jamie, or is that just the reason that she needed in order to fight for herself. I mean; what else does Cameron have left? She makes her return during the Grand Rampage and the world doesn’t have that same awe. The world isn’t sitting here hoping that she’s able to reclimb that mountain. They don’t care if she walks back out the doors of this company, which is another reason why she should be at home being a parent instead of fighting for herself. She said that she could have set her sights on the Extreme Elimination Chamber and the Answers World Championship instead, but let’s be honest; was she ever really going to be considered? :mjlol:
Myles: That’s why she’s clinging onto this idea that she’s fighting for revenge. That’s all that she has, and the worst part is that she doesn’t even realise that she’s setting herself up for the same disappointment that she’s terrified of dealing with. Imagine standing in front of the world talking about revenge before having to go home and knowing, wholeheartedly, that you let the person – I’d say people, but there’s some major doubt over how much love she has for Hathaway – but, nonetheless; the person that you say you love more than anyone else down. That’s tragic. But, that’s her future. That’s everything that she’s set herself up for, and who does she have to blame for it? Not me. Not New Eden. She has herself to blame. She has Jamie to blame. She can know that if Jamie would have stayed home like he said that he wanted to, it never would have come to this. They could be sitting at home as the happy family that they told themselves that they wanted to be. Instead, Jamie can answer Hathaway’s questions of where his mum is.
(The camera fades to black before a shot of Cameron Ella Ava vs Myles at Road to Redemption flashes across the screen before cutting elsewhere.)
(The camera to a backstage studio area where Sofia Clarke is sitting, ready to start her next interview.)
Sofia Clarke: Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to welcome at this time a young man who has a match with pretty high stakes coming up at Road to Redemption. He is Mr. 24/7, Donovan Duke.
(Donovan comes into frame and offers a smile to Sofia before taking his seat next to her.)
Sofia Clarke: Donovan, thank you very much for taking time out for this interview.
Donovan Duke: The pleasure’s all mine. I’m glad to be here.
Sofia Clarke: How about we start off with talking about your season so far. You’ve certainly been making a name for yourself.
Donovan Duke: Thank you. As I’ve said many times this season, all I’ve wanted to do is lead a road of redemption…no pun intended…to get the fans and other wrestlers in the back to look past the early part of my career and see how much I want to be noticed and taken seriously in EAW.
Sofia Clarke: I’d say you’ve been doing a good job at that. You’ve been in a number of high profile matches so far this season.
Donovan Duke: Absolutely. I got to wrestle for the EAW World Championship and I got to wrestle in my first FPV main event at Wicked Games. It’s an amazing feeling to be trusted in these high stakes matchups. The results…yeah let’s not talk about that, especially Wicked Games.
(Sofia nods her head after that statement.)
Sofia Clarke: Understood. Anyways, before we get to the main reason of why we’re here for this interview, I would like to dive a little deeper and get to know more about Donovan Duke. You’ve been here for almost a year and a half and we know very little about you.
Donovan Duke: Now that was on purpose. I’m the type of person who’d prefer to keep as much of his life outside of the public eye as possible. For some people around here, they will use anything they can as some type of arsenal against me. Now that I’ve been here for a while, I think I am more accepting of the idea of letting people in and know more about me.
Sofia Clarke: We’re glad to hear that. Here’s the first question. Does The Gambler have his own “Lady Luck” in his life?
(Donovan lets out a chuckle after she asks the question.)
Donovan Duke: Getting right down to business, aren’t you?
Sofia Clarke: It’s a legitimate question. People have been curious about the Duke’s personal life.
Donovan Duke: I bet they are. To answer your question, no. The Gambler is flying solo right now. My career and all my training doesn’t necessarily leave a lot of time for dating…but that doesn’t mean I’m not actively looking.
Sofia Clarke: I think you just made a few fans…and possibly a few ladies in the back happy. Next question, I’ve seen on your bio page what exactly your motivations are to be in EAW. Would you elaborate what exactly you mean?
Donovan Duke: Respect and acceptance is probably my biggest motivator. That’s the biggest thing that I want. I don’t want to be seen and felt sorry for. I want to be seen as a viable competitor that any person would love to face in the ring. Maybe it’s the fact that I’ve been told time and time again that I’m not athletic enough to be a wrestler or that I am too small to be a wrestler. Size doesn’t mean shit to me. I’m confident enough to know that given the chance that I can outwrestle people who stand head and shoulders above me.
Sofia Clarke: What about championship gold?
Donovan Duke: If you come into this business and becoming a champion is not one of your goals, then you are in the wrong business. Now that I know that I have the capabilities to take champions to their limits and not get overwhelmed, I know that it’s only a matter of time before I can finally wrap one of those nice titles around my waist, and thanks to this beautiful contract of mine, it’s so close that I can almost taste it.
Sofia Clarke: Now that we know a little more about the inner workings of the Gentleman, how about we talk about the main reason why you are here. Coming up at Road to Redemption, you will once again defend your 24/7 contract. This time, you will be defending against Showdown’s Ronan Malosi.
(After Sofia says Ronan’s name, Donovan scoffs and rolls his eyes.)
Sofia Clarke: From that reaction, it looks to me that you don’t think very highly of Ronan.
Donovan Duke: That’s an understatement. I never had any real reactions with the guy until I visited Showdown and he immediately gave off the presence of an idiot. To put it frankly, he’s completely disgusting.
Sofia Clarke: Disgusting?
Donovan Duke: Exactly, but not in the sense you think…well not completely. Everything about that “man” makes me absolutely sick. I’ve worked my ass off to get this contract and I worked my ass off even more to keep it. That’s something that Ronan isn’t familiar with and doesn’t know how to do. It’ll be a cold day in hell before I let that SOB take what’s mine.
Sofia Clarke: For someone who has held on tightly to that 24/7 briefcase, myself and many fans are wondering why you would put something you hold so dearly on the line, almost unnecessarily?
Donovan Duke: You don’t make big waves staying silent and safe do you?
(Sofia shrugs her answer.)
Donovan Duke: Not usually, especially around someone like Ronan Malosi. Sometimes you have to make a statement to prove that you mean business. At the poker table, it’s being aggressive with your bets. In EAW, it’s issuing challenges that some people just can’t refuse.
Sofia Clarke: Does it ever go through your mind that you could possibly lose your contract at Road to Redemption?
Donovan Duke: Of course. You can’t ignore the negative results of a situation since there’s always a chance that something could go wrong. I know exactly why I did what I did.
Sofia Clarke: Which was…
Donovan Duke: I was invited to Showdown by request of Hurricane Hawk. Then there’s Ronan getting all hotheaded and doing his usual Ronan stuff. Did I have to intervene on Hawk’s behalf? Nope, but I always enjoy a chance to shut somebody up. I just had to be willing to make a big enough wager. It was like dangling a string in front of a cat. Tempt them and they go for it. Too damn easy. I put out the bait and the nitwit grabbed it hook, line, and sinker. He thinks that since he believes that he’s gawd’s gift to the world that he has this match in the bag. I’m going to be the one who gives him a reminder of the reality check that he so richly needs.
Sofia Clarke: Can you give the fans a little bit of a sneak peek of what exactly your strategy will be against Ronan?
Donovan Duke: Unfortunately, everybody is going to have to wait and see until Road to Redemption to see my game plan for him. That’s the second rule of poker. Don’t show the true strength of your hand until time is right. But I will sum up Ronan’s future in two words: Utter… Decimation.
Sofia Clarke: You certainly are showing how confident you are going into this match, but I have to ask. Why have you held onto the contract for so long?
Donovan Duke: Yeah, I’ll admit I have kept the contract for a hot minute or two. I’ll be honest and say that I’ve held onto this contract this long for a reason. Not because I am scared, but it’s to show how seriously I am taking my position of being Mr. 24/7 very seriously. I don’t want to waste this opportunity to take my career to the next level. I have not come this far to screw everything up.
Sofia Clarke: I get what you mean, but the people are curious about when you are going to cash in the contract if you defeat Ronan Malosi.
Donovan Duke: It’s not an “if”, sweetheart. It’s “when” I defeat Ronan Malosi. I’m walking into Road to Redemption as Mr. 24/7 and I am walking out of Road to Redemption as Mr. 24/7. There’s no doubt about it.
(Donovan smirks and pats the briefcase in his lap.)
Donovan Duke: But let me assure the world that once I get past this disgusting slop bucket of a challenge that I will be cashing in my contract. Guaranteed. As for when that moment will be? Well…that’s for me to know…and for the rest of the world to wait and see.
(Donovan gives a sly grin and a wink to the camera.)
Sofia Clarke: Fair enough. Once again, thank you for your time, Donovan, and we wish you the best of luck at Road to Redemption.
Donovan Duke: Greatly appreciated. Get ready for another downward spiral of Ronan Malosi.
(Donovan laughs as he stands up and walks offset.)
Sofia Clarke: There you have it. Donovan Duke looking to once again walk out of an FPV as Mr. 24/7. Let’s get back to ringside with more Voltage action.
(The final shot is of Sofia Clarke smiling as the scene fades to black and fades elsewhere.)
(Voltage fades back to ringside as Bella Braxton is seen with a microphone in her hand.)
Bella Braxton: The following contest is scheduled FOR!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!!!!
( ‘Best Damn Thing’ by Avril Lavigne plays over the sound system of the arena as the up and comer makes her way to the ring riding her skateboard and pulling off a few moves including one on the ring steps much to the pleasure of the crowd. )
Bella Braxton: INTRODUCING FIRST! From Enumclaw, Washington! Weighing in at 107 pounds; She is The SKater Gurl! McCALLLLLLL EVEREEEEEETTT
James Peters: On the losing end of a match against the number one contender for the New Breed Championship, this young upstart is looking to get a Dub on her record tonight!
Rich Russillo: Her match against Jay Jerry Johnson was good, it will be interesting to see how well she will fare against Kelin this week.
Persephone: Meh.
( ‘Forever’ by Drake, Kanye West, Lil Wayne, and Eminem plays over the speakers of the arena as McCall’s opponent makes his way to the ring looking at her under the cheers of the crowd. )
Bella Braxton: AAAAAND HER OPPONENT! From Yoakum, Texas! Weighing in at 218 pounds; He is The Show Stealer; KELIN!!!!
James Peters: Last week, Kelin won against some local talent, we don’t have those too often on Voltage.
Rich Russillo: A victory by Kelin or Captain Charisma booking local talent to Voltage? I’m kidding, Kelin did the work and left the show with the winning man he clearly deserved and fought hard for.
Persephone: Imagine the humiliation had he lost. Whatever. Say The Thing Ref!!
Referee: RING THE BELL!!!
( Ding! Ding! Ding! )
James Peters: And Here We Go! This match is officially underway! Both opponents are meeting up at the center of the ring and shakes hands in a show of sportsmanship before tangling up in a clinch! Kelin with the sudden headlock, two of them are struggling to gain control and it ends up in a corner which the official breaks up. Kelin gets McCall in a corner before both of them go to the center of the ring again. Clinch once more both just locked horns
Rich Russillo: McCall switching thins quickly into a waist lock which is reversed by Kelin! He quickly lifts McCall and takes her down MMA style! McCall gets up quickly, looking over Kelin who is smiling. Kelin grins, moving towards Everett who takes him down with a Japanese arm drag! Kelin gets up quickly and blocks an elbow from his opponent before forcing her down with a snap mare takedown then he goes technical with a headlock! Everett is showing power as both of them move back to their feet!
James Peters: Kelin whips McCall into the ropes! She bounces his way and he shoulders her stiffly! Down she goes! Kelin is boasting a little bit, the crowd reacts before he gets to the ropes. He goes to Everett who’s hit the deck, Kelin bounces off the ropes and McCall takes him down with a charging knee! Kelin flipped over her knee! Down he goes as he is retreating to a corner. She throws a few kicks his way which prompts him to knee his way to the center of the ring. Kelin whips McCall into the ropes, she brings him down with a crossbody!
Rich Russillo: Both of them are getting back up, McCall smiles! Kelin not so much. Clinch once again.
Persephone: On Come The Fuck On! Clinch-A-Mania up in here!
Rich Russillo: A European Uppercut by Kelin connects! He whips Everett into the ropes.! She goes down with a stiff-looking clothesline! McCall is down but gets up quickly. Another clothesline! Wham!! Down goes McCall! Third clothesline! A discus variant this time! McCall meets the floor again. Cover by Kelin!
OOONNNEEE!!!
Persephone: WAAAAAAYYY TOO SOON!
James Peters: McCall looks semi insulted to see Kelin tried to pin her too quickly after merely just a few clotheslines and she dares him to try and hit her harder! A little spitfire that one and she gets up! Kelin throws a punch her way but she counters and throws one of her own! And another! A Third! A slew of fists thrown rapidly by young McCall Everet gets Kelin reeling into a corner! She climbs on the second rope and she begins to throw punches to his forehead!
Crowd: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! SIX! SEVEN! EIGHT! NINE!
Persephone: Ain’t that cute, she just kissed her own knuckles.
Crowd: TEN!!
Rich Russillo: Kelin slowly crumbles to the floor of the ring BUT HE QUICKLY GETS UP! HE GRABS KELIN INTO A POWERBOMB POSITION AND TURNS AROUND! BUCKLE BOOOOOMB!!! THAT SURPRISED EVEN EVERETT WHO IS HOLDING HER BACK IN PAIN!! Kelin quickly gets McCall to stand on the second ropes, back facing him, he throws an elbow to her lower back! He grabs her by the neck and positions himself for a backbreaker! Down goes McCall holding her back in pain as Kelin for now has the advantage! Kelin shakes his head, feeling the effect of her earlier punches as he then gets to his feet.
Rich Russillo: McCall trying to get back to her feet using the ropes her back against the turnbuckles she gets greeted by Kelin and a running clothesline! He follows it with a headbutt! Followed with another clothesline! This time McCall falls to her knees then face-first on the floor! Cover again by Kelin!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
James Peters: McCall Everett is not ready to abdicate yet as she lifts a shoulder up! Kelin gets back to his feet moving to McCall he throws a punch her way and she strikes back at him! She throws another and he responds in kind! Now both of them are throwing fists at one another and suddenly McCall throws herself forward driving a knee to the gut of her opponent BEFORE LIFTING HIM UP AND LEAVE HIM HIM HIM HANGING ON THE TOP ROPES! HANGMAN MANOEUVER BY EVERETT AS KELIN DROPS TO THE FLOOR HOLDING HIS STOMACH! McCall with a cover!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
Persephone: Sigh!
Rich Russillo: Kelin with a shoulder up shows he is not ready to quit either! Interesting back and forth from the two of them makes me wonder who will win this match tonight!
Persephone: Neither of them helps me win my match against BOREDOM though! STEP IT UP!!!
Rich Russillo: McCall Just Threw A Talk To The Hand Gesture To Persephone!!!
Persephone: *GASP!* That bitch!
Rich Russillo: The crowd seems to love it though much to the satisfaction of McCall who looks down on her opponent. She goes to the ropes as Kelin goes to his knees… SPRINGBOARD BULLDOG BY McCALL!! DOWN GOES KELIN HARD! Cover!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
Rich Russillo: Not enough! Kelin kicks out! McCall quickly gets to her feet waiting on Kelin to do the same before going into the ropes trying for a Shining Wizard BUT KELIN TAKES HER DOWN WITH A SLINGBLADE AND WRAPS AN ARM TIGHTLY AROUND HER NECK! He is trying to go for a sleeper hold on McCall Everett! Everett is starting to fade but she manages to get to her feet as Kelin didn’t keep the hold well enough! She throws in an elbow to his gut! A second! The third one sets her free of the hold and she rushes to the ropes! Bouncing off them she takes Kelin down and in a mounted position begins throwing punches at him! He blocks as much as he can and quickly McCall gets up, followed by Kelin she rushes at him BUT HE TAKES HER DOWN WITH A DROPKICK! Everett gets back to her feet she is stumbling a little bit which is an opening Kelin gladly takes as he gets past her and throws her backward into a quick German Suplex! McCaul goes flying and lands on the top of her neck that will hurt tomorrow morning!
Persephone: Finally a smart move by the girl, she’s rolling out of the ring for a breather!
James Peters: Kelin but Kelin is not giving her any respite as he grabs her by the hair and slams her into the nearby guard rail! He keeps the grip on her hair and forces her to get slammed back first into the ring apron! That’s one of the hardest parts of the ring! Kelin is ramming McCall hard against the apron with his shoulder and the skater girl crumbles down to the floor!
Rich Russillo: Kelin pulls McCall up, but McCall lands a punch to the midsection! Now it’s Kelin with a forearm, and McCall responds before both Elitists quickly roll back into the ring to try and get the upper hand!
James Peters: Both opponents are now glaring at each other before dashing towards each other both ducking one another’s an attempt to bring the other down! Both bounce off the ropes facing each other AND COLLIDING WITH A DOUBLE CLOTHESLINE!! BOTH KELIN AND McCALL ARE DOWN FACING UP STARING AT THE ROOF OF ROCKET MORTGAGE FIELD HOUSE!
Persephone: What kind of Mickey Mouse name for an arena is Mortgage Field House? Oh wait, we’re in Cleveland.
Rich Russillo: Don’t go anywhere folks, we have to take a quick commercial break! We’ll Be Right BACK!!
( An Australian outback-themed advertisement for the Aussie Christmas Special plays featuring Andre Walker versus the return EAW Founder CM Banks in the Main Event! )
James Peters: We all look forward to that trip to Australia as the card for this year’s Special is STACKED!! We are back folks to Sunday Night Voltage, we thank you for having us into your home be it online or through your television screen as McCall Everett is battling it out with Kelin in a back and forth match of every moment! No one had a clear advantage over the other so far in what has been an exciting back and forth!
Persephone: You are but I’m not! Don’t you know how many dangerous creatures live in Australia? Just thinking about that freaks me out! I am NOT going to have a good time there! Wish I was on vacation in the Bahamas with my Rexy, to be honest…
James Peters: You can dream it but you have a job to do I’m sure you will be professional and show up.
Persephone: Sigh, of course, I will.
Rich Russillo: Meanwhile inside the ring the action continues between Kelin and newcomer McCall Everett! Kelin had the better of McCall for part of the commercial break but she is now all over Kelin after a diving dropkick from the top ropes just after having delivered a perfectly executed tornado DDT on her opponent! That girl is improving week after week good things are going to get her way if she continues to work hard as she does! She hooks the legs!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
James Peters: Kelin denies her the win for now as he kicked out of the pinning predicament! She lifts him to his feet, throwing a few elbows to his face driving an offensive charge as she whips him into the ropes before ducking a clothesline from Everett! He moves to sidestep her, RUSSIAN LEGSWEEP! Down goes McCall who’s holding the back of her head! Kelin gets up quickly, Everett is to her knees as he calls for the Headknocker! IT CONNECTS! KELIN JUST RAN A SINGLE-LEG DROPKICK TO THE BACK OF McCALL’s HEAD! SHE’LL FEEL IT IN THE MORNING! COVER BY KELIN!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
Persephone: Match over now? NO!
Rich Russillo: Not if McCall can do something about it as she lifted her shoulder up! This match still has some life to it and so is McCall Everett! Kelin is getting slightly annoyed as it seems he wants to put this match to a close. McCall is to her knees now as Kelin is by her side and begins to throw into her a barrage of kicks to her ribs, her chest and he swings at her head last BUT SHE DUCKS! Kelin goes for a leg drop immediately after and he misses as she rolled out of the way! Kelin looks hurt as McCall gets up SHE CLIPS HIM IN THE JAW WITH A FLYING WHEELKICK!! IT LOOKED JUST LIKE DURING EDSON BARBOSA DURING UFC 142!!! BEAUTIFUL! KELIN IS DOWN! SHE GOES FOR THE COVER!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHHHRRR-
Persephone: Seriously??
James Peters: It must be instinct but somehow, somewhat Kelin lifted his shoulders up! This is a fascinating match!
Persephone: You mean you still wonder why they went under the ring earlier don’t you.
Rich Russillo: No matter that, they are in the ring now and the crowd seems pleased with the back and forth action the two opponents provided them so far tonight! Kelin is slow to get up as McCall is waiting for him to get to his feet. She grabs an arm, goes for a ripcord cl-NO IT’S BLOCKED BY KELIN WHO JUMPS! POISONRANAAAAAA!! THE REVERSED FRANKENSTEINER CONNECTS ON EVERETT! KELIN HOOKS THE LEG!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHHHRRR-
James Peters: McCALL ROLLS AND NOW KELIN IS THE ONE WITH THE SHOULDERS PINNED DOWN!!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
Rich Russillo: KELIN REVERSES IT TRYING TO GO FOR A PIN AGAIN ON McCALL!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
James Peters: AND McCALL TRIES HER LUCK AG- Ah No! Kelin manages to break it all off! Both opponents stare at each other and McCall dashes forth first trying for a clothesline which is ducked by Kelin! He dashes to the ropes springboarding himself INTO A CUTTER!! IT CONNECTED ON McCALL WHO DROPPED TO THE FLOOR!! He follows it with THE MASS EFFECT!! THE SIT-OUT BUTTERFLY JUMPING KNEE CONNECTS!!! THIS HAS GOT TO BE IT! HE GOES FOR THE COVER!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTTTTHHHHHHRRRRRREEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
( ‘Forever’ by Drake, Kanye West, Lil Wayne, and Eminem plays over the speakers of the arena as The Show Stealer gets an arm raised by the official. He grins, obviously satisfied. )
Bella Braxton: Ladies and Gentlemen, here is your winner: KELIN!!!
James Peters: What a victory tonight in what was a spectacular fast-paced back and forth between two up and coming stars here on Voltage!
Rich Russillo: Young McCall had a chance on a few occasions to put Kelin away but tonight on the Road to Redemption going-home show it wasn’t meant to be for her! She will have another chance at victory soon enough I’m sure! Regardless, she did good tonight.
(Kelin continues to celebrate his victory as Voltage fades away from ringside.)
(Sunday Night Voltage then begins to fade into the backstage area of Rocket Mortgage Field where Jake Smith & Chris Elite, better known as The Haircare Kings, are seen in their own personal locker room. Both of them are seen sitting across from one another in plush leather couches, both of them doing separate things. Chris is seen looking at Jake while talking on and on about the upcoming festivities on the horizon, while Jake is seen staring at his phone.)
Chris Elite: I don’t think we really have much room for error anymore, we’re too far gone to let up this early. You already know just how badly the two of us need this and just because a bunch of bozos are in our way doesn’t mean that they’ll stop us from getting what we want. I’ve been fighting my entire career, shit you have too. We both know just how much this match means for the two of us and I don’t know what I’d fucking do if we happened to fumble the ball and do everything that everyone said we’d do, it’s just not happening and they can suck a dick. We’re going to make sure that this happens one way or another… of course with me winning the EAW World Championship of course… but nah, all’s fair for real. This is our moment, we gotta give it our best and we’re going to fucking beat the fucking shit out of these scrawny ass bozos, you with me twin?
Jake Smith: What the fuck is #Jolly? Is that a Christmas hashtag??
(Chris tilts his head while leaning back and looking at whatever Jake happens to be looking at that keeps him so fixated on his phone. He’s quickly scrolling through Social Stream with an absolutely perplexed look on his face before Chris continues to speak.)
Chris Elite: Bro did you hear any fucking thing that I said? This shit is important damn, we need to keep our full attention on making sure that we walk out of the next two weeks with Championship gold and you’re out here doing… whatever the fuck that you’re dong.
Jake Smith: Wait, you’re right… I just realized something…
Chris Elite: Oh thank the lord, what is it?
Jake Smith: “#Jolly” is Jake & Holly put together???
Chris Elite: OH MY FUCKING GOD.
(Before Chris can say anything else, a knock is heard at the door which startles the both of them and quickly turns their attention towards the entrance to see a familiar face upon the door. Holly Arrow is seen jumping right in and running towards Jake, ignoring Chris who seems to have had enough of whatever bullshit happens to be going on between the two of them.)
Holly Arrow: Isn’t this great Jake??? WE’RE BEING SHIPPED! In fact, we almost have as many mentions on Social Stream as #Dramille this week! THIS IS AMAZING! AREN’T YOU EXCITED ABOUT THIS?!
(Jake looks up in disbelief while Chris looks between the two of them wondering what in the world is going on right now. Finally, he’s had enough with whatever the hell happens to be going on at the moment.)
Chris Elite: Bro what the fuck is going on? Nah, fuck this, I’ll see you later Jake :francis:.
(Chris shakes his head before he stands up and begins to make his way out of the scene. Jake reaches out his hand trying to grab ahold of him in hopes that he takes him with him, but it’s too late as Chris is already too far gone, clearly not giving a damn about whatever the hell seems to be happening right now. Jake’s hand clenches into a fist before he turns his head to look over at Holly who’s still beaming from ear to ear, with Jake wasting zero time shaking his head.)
Jake Smith: We are not being shipped, I haven’t seen ANYBODY say that whatsoever and I’d like to keep it that way. The only thing that I’ve seen is this stupid “#Jolly” hashtag which probably has NOTHING to do with either of us.
Holly Arrow: Look at you trying to deny it, that #Jolly hashtag is US you stupidhead. I can tell you wholeheartedly that they’re shipping the two of us on Social Stream. I don’t know why you happen to be so down about it, I don’t think it’s that bad 😊.
Jake Smith: No no no no no… no… no…
(Jake’s words begin to slow down as he looks at Holly. He happens to notice her smiling enthusiastically thanks to this whole situation and can’t help, for a quick second, but to be entranced by it. He thinks she has a very pretty smile, and can’t really prevent himself from acknowledging that. Holly looks towards Jake confused before realizing what he’s so caught up about, smirking before beginning to call him out.)
Holly Arrow: I… I KNEW IT! You actually like me, you’re bluffing! The only thing that you’ve been trying to do these past two weeks is lie and deny the situation at hand, but like I said, it’s your inability to express feelings that has made you this way. But no worries Jake, because unlike everyone else, I’m able to see the real you and realize that you only mean good towards someone like me! I appreciate it!
Jake Smith: Wha- WHAT?! What the hell ar-are you on about! That is not the case… that will NEVER BE THE CASE! Did I tell you that Hailee Steinfield has been uh… uh… uh… SHE’S BEEN CALLING ME! Yeah… and she’s been saying that she… she… SHE HAS FEELINGS FOR ME! I think I’d like to cash that check and get some MCU money, yeahhhhh!!! Imagine the possibilities, this could get me into the avenue of acting and I can finally live my dream of being Spider-Man! Fuck a Tom Holland! Plus I get Hailee’s fine a-
(Jake stops himself while the silence is heard creeping in, and it’s absolutely deafening. Holly looks scared, but she hides it behind a supporting smile while Jake quickly snaps out of it and points a finger towards her abruptly.)
Jake Smith: Anyway, we are not being shipped and you can’t tell me otherwise.
Holly Arrow: Say whatever you want Jake, but we totally are. In fact, I think we should capitalize on this. I heard that you want some money, and I got the perfect thing for you! Hear me out-
Jake Smith: Hey that’s my thing.
Holly Arrow: Hear me out… #JOLLY T-SHIRTS!
Jake Smith: :whoa: Now hold on, I’ve been declining a whole lot of what you’ve had to say lately, but let me say right now, absolutely fucking not.
Holly Arrow: I think you mean ABSOLUTELY, hold on, let me show you what I have in mind for the shirts! I think you’re going to love it!
Jake Smith: I think not- whoa.
(Holly scrambles to pull out a notebook from her bag before opening a page. She’s someone that likes to dabble in art and drawing every so often when she gets the time, and that should be something that everyone is interested in if you’re a comic book nerd, which probably gives her the type of expertise to make something like this. Holly then finds a page and shows it to Jake, which shows an absolutely wonderful design for a #Jolly branded t-shirt which leaves Jake at a loss for words for a good moment.)
Jake Smith: :wtf: How do you have that??? Give me this.
(Jake takes the notebook from Holly and looks at it for a moment, absolutely perplexed before looking back up at Holly who looks absolutely thrilled thanks to Jake’s reaction, who can’t help but be super impressed at her work.)
Jake Smith: Did you draw this?!
(Holly of course, after Jake asks her that question, happens to be a little shy. She didn’t expect Jake to be this invested into this and doesn’t really know what to say, she’s kind of lost for words thanks to this. Holly stammers for a good moment before responding to him.)
Holly Arrow: Yea…
Jake Smith: This is GREAT! This is the type of shit that Ronan Malosi would pay his graphic designer to make, BUT THE DIFFERENCE IS WE GOT IT FOR FREE THANKS TO YOU! Wow… this is just spectacular-
(Jake stops himself before this gets too out of hand for him, before looking up at Holly who looks surprised and ecstatic at Jake’s reaction. Jake’s face flushes before he gives back the notebook and begins to turn away.)
Jake Smith: I- I got to go…
(Jake quickly speedwalks out of the scene, making it apparent that maybe he does have feelings for Holly. Holly clutches onto the notebook with a warming smile on her face, looking off into the distance while shouting at Jake.)
Holly Arrow: I’ll totally get those shirts made!
(Holly then turns around and begins to skip away excitingly afterward which is the last shot seen before Sunday Night Voltage then begins to fade to elsewhere.)
(Promotional ad for Road to Redemption, where Candice Blair faces Alex Myers.)
(Sunday Night Voltage comes back to the arena, more specifically the backstage area, where the camera is shown facing the outside of the newly returned Voltage Commissioner, Captain Charisma. It then goes to the inside where it shows him behind his desk, where he seems to be very busy just as expected. It’s his first day back, and he needs all the time he can get to fix whatever the hell New Eden has done to his brand, just like he promised. After a moment, he slams his hand on his desk before leaning back in his office chair, taking a few deep breaths before attempting to get back to his work. But before he can do that, a knock on the door is heard which triggers Captain Charisma to immediately collect himself and look towards the door.)
Captain Charisma: Come in!
(Not long after, the door slowly creeps open to show a figure strutting through. It’s revealed to be Alex Myers who begins to approach the desk of the Voltage Commissioner with a nonchalant look on their face. They pull up a seat across from him before taking a seat and bringing their hands behind their back. Captain Charisma has a welcoming smile on his face while he sorts papers, letting Alex speak.)
Alex Myers: You called?
Captain Charisma: Yes! Of course Alex, how could I forget. I have a lot of bases to knock out today and that means talking to you and discussing some things that have gone down. You most definitely are involved in this conversation, and I wasn’t going to leave you in the dark, so here you are right now.
Alex Myers: I could throw a lot of hypotheticals in the air right now. Am I getting a World Championship shot?
Captain Charisma: No…
Alex Myers: Did someone get an injury in the Extreme Elimination Chamber and you want to make me their replacement?
Captain Charisma: No…
Alex Myers: You’re letting me become Commissioner for the month just like you let New Eden?
Captain Charisma: For starters I didn’t just let New Eden take control of Voltage, and absolutely not…
Alex Myers: Alright I’m getting impatient, spill the beans and tell me what the deal is because it’s clear I’m not going to get it.
Captain Charisma: You’ve been traded.
Alex Myers: :oh:
(There’s a moment of silence between the two of them, mostly to let Alex sink this information in for himself while Captain Charisma just smiles at them and gives them their time for a brief moment. From there, he then begins to speak.)
Captain Charisma: I’ve had a wonderful working relationship with StarrStan, which is something that is essential in a wrestling environment consisting of separate brands. That means that we talk a lot about what can or can be done to make our brands better and how we can help one another do so. One thing that we both agreed on while conversing with one another is that a lot more doors can be opened for someone like you if you were participating on Friday Nights. Dynasty has a lot of proven stars, ones that have shown their stripes and laid it all on the line in Elite Answers Wrestling. But at the same time while you take that into consideration, they have some really talented up and comers who are looking for something to prove and you’ll fit right into that mold. Alex, with you being traded to Dynasty, you truly have a chance to come into your own.
Captain Charisma: Considering that you haven’t even been here a full calendar year yet, I’ve been impressed with what you’ve been able to do this Season under the Voltage banner. Seeing how you’ve battled stars like Drake King and pushed them to their very limit, to even down to nearly ending Ryan Wilson’s New Breed Championship reign right off the bat in his first defense at Bloodsport. There is so much that you’ve done and will continue to do in the process that’ll shape you into your own over the coming months, and I feel that Dynasty already has an excellent track record for manufacturing young up and comers into stars… so why not give you the privilege of going through the same process as well.
Captain Charisma: If you need an example of such? Look no further to Donovan Duke, someone who I’m sure you know very well as a colleague on the Voltage brand. He’s someone that went to the Dynasty brand last year after facing Andre Walker for the New Breed Championship at Road To Redemption and it was a decision that I will never regret seeing what has happened since then. It was a move that helped him grow and come into his own along with surrounding himself with trustworthy Elitists that could help propel him to new heights. As a result, Donovan won the 24/7 Battle Royale at Pain For Pride and because of that, will most likely win a Championship when it is all said and done. So I can say wholeheartedly that this is the move that you need to take, and I know someone of your caliber will make the very best out of it and make some magic so I can hopefully draft you back at the end of the Season and see how far you’ve gone :troll:.
Captain Charisma: If there’s one thing I want to see out of you as my last request when it comes to being your Commissioner before I hand you off to the very trustworthy StarrStan… Tear down the house at Road To Redemption will you? As much as you don’t want to admit it to the opposition, you and Candice have extraordinary skills and pure talent that makes you two some of the best on the roster. Lately, both of you have been put on the map and finally, the spotlight is shone down on both of you, the one that I’m sure you two have longed for. So the only real thing I have to say is, give it your all and put on one hell of a match next week… for Voltage.
(Alex is, admittingly, quite surprised about this, and for good reason as well. This trade was out of the blue and one that they didn’t expect to happen unless of course, the Draft comes around. It’s something that has caught their attention, and after what Captain Charisma just took the time to happily explain to them, it looks like they’re ready to accept the decision as well which makes Captain Charisma very pleased that this went smoothly.)
Alex Myers: I’m someone that does whatever the hell I want to do because nobody will influence me or tell me what I do with my life and what I shouldn’t do. That means, I go whatever the hell I want AND have to do to have the best chance of doing some real damage. I’m looking to make a statement and hand out some notices as well, so I will take the opportunity whenever I get it to make sure that it happens. If that means that it’s going to be on Friday nights, then so be it. I have no problem going there and going exactly what I’ve done here and that’s raising hell and making sure that everyone suffers. Either way, all of you will know my name.
Alex Myers: I promise you I’m going to show out for my final Voltage match if it’s the last thing I do, whatever happens after that I’ll just have to make do with while I can. I shift my entire attention towards Road To Redemption now, and make sure that everyone turns their heads towards me and focuses on what Alex Myers has to show for himself before catching them on Friday Night Dynasty. But unfortunately, once that’s all said and done, I won’t be the only one that’ll be gone from your brand. Because Voltage will be down two roster members because I will make sure that I fucking burn Candice Blair to a crisp. I’m going to make sure that she suffers, and I’m going to enjoy every second of it.
Captain Charisma: :krabs: Well I know you’ll go out with a bang and do some really good things on the Dynasty brand. I’ll be watching closely in hopes of you proving me right and giving it your all against anyone and everyone who tries to step in your way. So go kill it Alex, make me proud, and enjoy your Road To Redemption week.
Alex Myers: Thank you Captain Charisma, I’ll make sure to give ’em hell.
Captain Charisma: That’s the spirit :wow:.
(Alex then stands up and begins to make his way out of the scene from there. It’s clear that he’s excited for what’s to come and is looking forward to making sure that he makes one hell of an impression one way or another. Alex leaves the office while Captain Charisma goes back to his work, and Voltage then begins to fade to elsewhere as well.)
[SCREENBAR – Clash of Kingdoms II, 2021.]
( The fans immediately begin to cheer as they see the match graphic flash across the screen. “Enemy Strike” by Yuki Hayashi begins to pump throughout the speakers of the stadium. Inside the ring, a very demure Bella Braxton steps forward. )
Bella Braxton: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN… THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR…
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!
( Myles, followed by his girlfriend and fellow New Eden member, Minerva, steps onto the stage. )
Bella Braxton: INTRODUCING FIRST! BEING ACCOMPANIED TO THE RING BY THE NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPION MINERVA, FROM MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIAN, WEIGHING IN AT 215 POUNDS… HE IS ‘THE WARLORD’ MYLES!!!!
( Minerva, who just moments ago defeated Cleo in a match to retain the National Elite Championship, gives Myles an encouraging smile, and they start to make their way down to the ring. Minerva has pulled a New Eden T-shirt over her full body gear, respecting the customs of the Middle East. Myles looks focused and determined when it comes to this match, and neither Minerva nor Myles have the championship or the Cash in the Vault briefcase with them. Neither of those things matter at the moment. )
James Peters: It’s been an insane show so far, and this match is no doubt going to be something special. Since February, Myles has been wreaking havoc alongside Minerva and the EAW World Champion, Drake King, as part of New Eden.
Rich Russillo: I know that last weekend, New Eden were looking to come out victorious during the first ever Stadium Stampede match, but things didn’t go their way. Team Dynasty managed to jump Drake while he was pinning Lethal Consequences, and Myles and Minerva were too busy being tied up with Theron Nikolas and Impact to help. The Visual Prophet would score the second win in a row for the Dynasty brand in the Territorial Invasion main event, and I’m curious to see how New Eden bounces back.
Persephone: Well unfortunately, Minerva retained the National Elite Championship in an absolute fucking snoozefest a few minutes ago, and I’m sure this match will put me to sleep as well. I legitimately wish Rex were here tonight because he would make this fucking wasteland worth it.
( Minerva and Myles stop at the steps, with Minerva giving Myles some words of advice. After a moment, Myles cracks a rare smile, something that is usually only reserved for Minerva anyway, and gets into the ring. )
( A few seconds later, “Follow God” by Kanye West takes over, and emerging from the back is Gawd himself. Mr. DEDEDE steps on the stage, dressed in an all white version of his gear, looking sexy as fuck, and he takes a look behind him. A curvy, petite figure walks out dressed in black leather leggings, a long sleeved black shirt, black combat boots, face and head concealed completely with a black studded mask like the kind Kanye sometimes wears, appears and saddles up beside Mr. DEDEDE. The only bit of color that shows is a stunning gold collar that is around this person’s neck, and no doubt that gold represents the fact that this person is none other Mr. DEDEDE’s devoted wife, the Answers World Champion. )
Bella Braxton: AND HIS OPPONENT… BEING ACCOMPANIED TO THE RING BY THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION KING KASS, WEIGHING IN AT 218 POUNDS… HE IS ‘THE GAWD’ MR. DEDEDE!!!!
( King Kass links her arm through Mr. DEDEDE’s and the two make their way down to the ring, painting quite the picture. )
Persephone: :krabs: Should Bella really have announced that whore as a King in the middle of this kind of woman hating environment??
James Peters: :lupe: Well, we somehow pulled off a mixed tag team match earlier without anyone getting shot, so let’s hope we avoid any drama here.
Persephone: Smart to keep that bitch hooded. I wish we could put a hood over Minerva too.
Rich Russillo: :mjlol: Anyways, I look forward to seeing what Mr. DEDEDE has in store for Myles here tonight. I think it’s interesting that the Chairman waited until Territorial Invasion to finally show his face, electing to keep Myles waiting when it comes to finding out who he would be facing here tonight. Mr. DEDEDE has always enjoyed toying with his opponents and making them sweat, and tonight we are going to find out if all that pays off.
( Mr. DEDEDE and King Kass make it to the ring, and King Kass lets go of her husband. No words are spoken between the couple. King Kass simply nods her head. Mr. DEDEDE stares at her for a moment, the pride in his eyes, before switching it off and directing his focus at Myles. He takes his time getting in the ring, hyping up the crowd, and shedding his ring jacket. Making Myles wait for him is just another game, and Myles cracks his knuckles, obviously ready for what could very well end up being the match of his life. )
( Finally, the referee calls for the bell. )
( Ding! Ding! Ding! )
James Peters: I don’t know about you guys, but I am excited for this one!
Persephone: I could not be more bored, to be honest.
Rich Russillo: Mr. DEDEDE and Myles circle one another and it’s Mr. DEDEDE who takes the first shot of the match. His hand connects with Myles’ face, but the Cash in the Vault holder brushes it off and maintains his fighter’s stance. Myles goes for a right hand, but it is blocked by Mr. DEDEDE, who seizes control of the wrist.
James Peters: Mr. DEDEDE draws Myles in and brings him down to the mat with a hip toss! He follows up with a stiff kick that connects right between the shoulder blades and he slams his foot into the back of Myles’ head! Mr. DEDEDE presses Myles throat first across the ropes and the referee has no choice but to start the five count as the Chairman is choking Myles.
Referee: One… two… three… four…
Persephone: DEDEDE breaks which means this match is gunna continue 🙄
James Peters: Mr. DEDEDE pulls Myles up by the hair, but Myles uncorks a massive chop to the chest of Mr. DEDEDE! Mr. DEDEDE backs off just a bit and Myles runs the ropes! He looks for a running, high knee strike, but Mr. DEDEDE darts out of the way, runs the opposite direction, and comes flying back at Myles!
Rich Russillo: SPEAR!
Persephone: Side-stepped by Myles! Mr. DEDEDE puts the brakes on before he crashes into the ropes, but Myles with a dropkick! Mr. DEDEDE tumbles over the ropes but he lands on the apron! Myles looks for a shoulder thrust, but Mr. DEDEDE connects with a knee! Myles stumbles back and Mr. DEDEDE LEAPS ON THE FUCKING ROPES! SPRINGBOARD CROSSBODY!!!!
Rich Russillo: Mr. DEDEDE immediately hooks the legs for the cover!!!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTT-
James Peters: Quick kick out by Myles!
Rich Russillo: Myles is helped to his feet and Mr. DEDEDE presses him back against the ropes. Mr. DEDEDE looks for a chop, but Myles nails Mr. DEDEDE in the chest with his boot! Myles reverses their positions and now it’s Mr. DEDEDE who’s pressed against the ropes and Myles lights him up with a series of blistering chops to the chest! Myles grabs Mr. DEDEDE and looks to whip him across the ring, but Mr. DEDEDE plants his feet and knocks Myles flush across the jaw with a forearm!
James Peters: Mr. DEDEDE goes for another, but Myles is able to block this one and he unloads a stiff, shoot style kick to Mr. DEDEDE’s legs! Mr. DEDEDE fires back with a kick of his own, and these two warriors are kicking the shit out of one another! Myles isn’t holding anything back because he knows how big of a match this is for him. He looks for a spinning heel kick but Mr. DEDEDE manages to duck! Mr. DEDEDE tries for a lariat but Myles ducks, darts around Mr. DEDEDE and seizes him around the waist! Straitjacket suplex!
Persephone: That bitch at ringside belongs in a straitjacket.
Rich Russillo: :lupe: Which one?
Persephone: :oh: I was referring to the cumbucket but Minerva probably needs to have her head examined for thinking a big breasted ginger is even remotely sexy.
James Peters: :mjlol: You don’t have to tit shame Myles. Come on, now.
Rich Russillo: Mr. DEDEDE is able to power out before the referee can get into position to count the cover, but Myles is not deterred! Both men are back up and Mr. DEDEDE immediately chops Myles across the chest! Myles fires back with a chop of his own, and Mr. DEDEDE with a lariat! Myles crashes to the ground but right now his adrenaline is pumping! He pops with a step-up enziguri and sends Mr. DEDEDE crashing into the ropes! Myles back to his feet and there is a running knee strike that catches Mr. DEDEDE right in the temple!
James Peters: Myles is fired up right now and Minerva is banging on the apron, urging her man to keep going! Myles sizes up Mr. DEDEDE and there’s a beautiful leg hook belly-to-back suplex! Mr. DEDEDE rolls towards the ropes but Myles drags him back to the center of the ring and goes for the pin!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTW-
Persephone: Mr. DEDEDE powers out. Myles looks at the ropes and he thinks about going high risk! We don’t usually see this bozo take to the skies, but why the hell not? Who fucking cares what moves Myles usually does! This is Mr. DEDEDE we’re talking about and he may as well go for some fuckshit 630 corkscrew shooting star press into a legdrop!
Rich Russillo: Is that even a real move?
Persephone: :troll:
James Peters: Myles is steadying himself on that top rope and motioning for Mr. DEDEDE to get back up. MISSILE DROPKICK! Myles with a beautiful top rope dropkick that sends Mr. DEDEDE back down to the mat! Myles rushes to the opposite side of the ring, scales the ropes again, and there’s a diving senton! That might have knocked the wind out of Mr. DEDEDE and Myles isn’t about to let up. He quickly pulls Mr. DEDEDE up by the hair and locks him in an abdominal stretch. Myles is doing a great job of softening up the ribcage area right now, and those clubbing blows are just going to do even more damage to the Chairman. Myles looks great so far.
Rich Russillo: He does, but this match is still in its infancy. Myles drives his elbow into Mr. DEDEDE’s side, hooks him, lifts him up and brings him down to the mat with a nice sidewalk slam! Myles flips Mr. DEDEDE onto his stomach, hooks the neck, and flips over for a bridging front chancery submission! Mr. DEDEDE is in trouble!
Persephone: Is he, though? Look at their ring positioning. Myles is a fucking idiot for not dragging Mr. DEDEDE back to the center of the ring. Mr. DEDEDE’s long ass arms are reaching for the ropes and he’s going to get them. Myles is going to have to break and I’m going to have to continue calling this match like I really give a fuck about either of these two. Yuck.
James Peters: Seph is right on. Mr. DEDEDE just grabbed the bottom rope and that might cost Myles as this match drags on. The New Eden member breaks the hold before the referee gets to the count of give. Mr. DEDEDE tries to roll onto the apron but Myles pulls him back and jumps to his feet.
Rich Russillo: He waits for Mr. DEDEDE to haul himself up and Myles sprints towards the Chairman! Mr. DEDEDE sees him coming and cuts Myles off with a huge European uppercut! Myles is stopped dead in his tracks and Mr. DEDEDE with a snap suplex! Mr. DEDEDE is trying to collect his bearings but Myles is deadset on not letting up, despite getting planted with that suplex. He nails Mr. DEDEDE in the back of the head with a knee and Mr. DEDEDE slumps forward! Myles from behind, locking Mr. DEDEDE in a half Nelson, but look! Mr. DEDEDE uses his size advantage to fight his way free and he immediately drops down and rolls to the outside!
Persephone: :mjlol: Of course that hooded bitch goes to check on him.
James Peters: That’s King Kass, Persephone!
Persephone: 🙄 yeah, of course. The lady king. How could I forget?
Rich Russillo: Minerva is shouting at Myles to go after them and look! MYLES LEAPS OVER THE TOP ROPE WITH A TOPE CON GIRO!
James Peters: MR. DEDEDE SHOVES KASSIDY OUT OF THE WAY AND TAKES THE FULL IMPACT OF THAT MOVE! MYLES GETS UP AND TAKES MR. DEDEDE, AND RAMS HIM SHOULDER FIRST INTO THE RING POST!!!
Persephone: I hope he dislocates DEDEDE’s shoulder.
Rich Russillo: :lupe: I would never wish that on Mr. DEDEDE.
Persephone: Because you’re a pussy and afraid of him.
Rich Russillo: 💯
James Peters: Myles rams Mr. DEDEDE’s shoulder into the ring post again and rolls him back into the ring. Myles connects with several elbow drops to that shoulder, and quickly looks for an armbar! MYLES GOES FOR THE ARMBAR! MR. DEDEDE LOCKS HIS HANDS! MYLES IS UNABLE TO PRY THEM APART! HE GOES FOR THE SHOULDER! MYLES WITH SEVERAL BRUTAL ELBOWS TO MR. DEDEDE’S SHOULDER AND HE IS ABLE TO PRAY THE ARMS APART!
Rich Russillo: BUT MR. DEDEDE FLIPS OVER MYLES! HE GETS TO HIS FEET RIGHT AS MYLES DOES AND MR. DEDEDE GRABS MYLES IN A HEADLOCK AND WRESTLES HIM TO THE GROUND! MR. DEDEDE FORCES MYLES SHOULDERS TO THE GROUND BUT MYLES IS ALREADY KICKING OUT!
Persephone: Why are you guys yelling about basic mat wrestling??
James Peters: Because when it’s Mr. DEDEDE, it’s the greatest mat wrestling of all time :wow:
Persephone: Please shut the fuck up. Rex McAllister could wrestle circles around DEDEDumbass.
Rich Russillo: Mr. DEDEDE and Myles are back up now, but Mr. DEDEDE is maintaining the headlock. Myles is looking to fight his way free and he is unloading elbow after elbow into Mr. DEDEDE’s abdomen and the Chairman has to let go. Myles quickly sprints to the ropes and looks to knock Mr. DEDEDE out with a big boot, but Mr. DEDEDE catches the foot! He spins Myles around but misses the lariat! Myles looks for a chop but Mr. DEDEDE catches his arm and he drops down, transitioning into a short arm scissors! Mr. DEDEDE has that firmly locked in, but Myles isn’t panicking. He looks for a way out and attempts to somersault over.
James Peters: Mr. DEDEDE anticipates it and he scopes up Myles, driving him back first into the corner! Mr. DEDEDE lets go of Myles, backs up just a tad, and goes in! Boxing style punches connect all over Myles! Myles covers up, trying to defend himself, or at the very least block some of these shots, but it’s not working! Mr. DEDEDE begins driving his foot into Myles’ stomach and stomps him down into the ground! Mr. DEDEDE wraps Myles up in a front facelock and drags him towards the middle of the ring. Myles looks to grab Mr. DEDEDE’s right leg but Mr. DEDEDE with a clubbing blow to the back!
Persephone: God, this is so fucking boring. Where is the blood? Where is the gore?? This can’t be a Voltage sponsored match!
Rich Russillo: Mr. DEDEDE is up and drags Myles into a sitting position! Mr. DEDEDE to the ropes, but MYLES POPS UP! MR. DEDEDE LEAPS IN THE AIR BUT MYLES CATCHES HIM, SPINS HIM AROUND, AND DRIVES HIM DOWN INTO THE MAT WITH A VICIOUS SPINEBUSTER! Mr. DEDEDE was going for what I believe was a running elbow drop, but Myles stopped him dead in his tracks! Myles quickly goes for the legs, but Mr. DEDEDE boots him back! Myles bounces off the ropes and drives his knees down into Mr. DEDEDE’s stomach! Myles goes right back to the left leg, and he looks for a single leg crab, but Mr. DEDEDE grabs the ropes!
James Peters: The referee starts the count, but Myles lets go! Mr. DEDEDE quickly kicks him in the right thigh, which drops Myles to a knee! Mr. DEDEDE back up now and Myles eats a stiff, nasty kick right to the face! Mr. DEDEDE floats over Myles, grabbing him up in a headlock, but Myles counters with a head scissors! Mr. DEDEDE slips out of the hold and both men are back to their feet but it’s Mr. DEDEDE with a huge uppercut!
Persephone: 😴😴😴
Rich Russillo: Myles fires back with a forearm and another! MYLES WITH SEVERAL RAPID FIRE FOREARMS THAT HAVE ABSOLUTELY CAUGHT MR. DEDEDE OFF GUARD! MYLES BACKS MR. DEDEDE ALL THE WAY INTO THE CORNER! MYLES GRABS MR. DEDEDE BY THE HAIR AND DRIVES HIM FACE FIRST ONTO MYLES’ OWN KNEE!
James Peters: Mr. DEDEDE is sprawled on the mat right now and Myles intends to make sure he stays there! He grounds Mr. DEDEDE with a side hadlock and you can see that King Kass is slapping the apron, and trying to rally her husband up! Mr. DEDEDE is able to twist around and get to his knees, but Myles refuses to let go.
Persephone: Ugh.
Rich Russillo: Myles still has the headlock cinched in but Mr. DEDEDE has brought both men back up! Myles squeezes tighter and he keeps Mr. DEDEDE from breaking free! He throws Mr. DEDEDE down onto the mat, and Mr. DEDEDE is now using those long legs of his to knee Myles in the shoulder! Myles can’t keep his grip and Mr. DEDEDE slips out of the headlock and gets Myles in the back of the head with a big boot!
James Peters: Myles’ face slams into the mat and Mr. DEDEDE is real quick to grab him up and toss him into the corner! Myles is met with several jumping shoulder thrusts into the stomach and now Mr. DEDEDE is backing off! He races around the ring and there’s ‘RAPTURE’!!! THE HELLUVA KICK CONNECTS RIGHT TO THE KISSER! MR. DEDEDE FOLLOWS UP WITH A SPINNING BACK FIST! HE DRAGS MYLES FROM THE CORNER AND ABSOLUTELY DESTROYS HIM WITH ‘DEMOLITION’! THE DIAMOND CUTTER HAS TAKEN MYLES DOWN AND MR. DEDEDE GOES FOR THE COVER!!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTT-
Persephone: :noah: Why did he have to kick out?
Rich Russillo: Because Myles is one of the most resilient and gutsiest competitors we have in EAW today. Love him or hate him, he is incredible inside the ring. New Eden might not give a damn about championships and accolades but Myles is definitely someone who is destined for greatness.
Persephone: Damn. You may as well just wipe his ass with your tongue because that was more than just kissing up.
Rich Russillo: :mjlol:
James Peters: Mr. DEDEDE with an Irish whip now. Myles slams back first into the corner and the Chairman once again gets a running start! Corner clothesline to Myles! EUROPEAN UPPERCUT! MYLES’ HEAD JUST SNAPPED BACK AT A NASTY ANGLE AND MR. DEDEDE GRABS HIM BY THE HAIR AND HE IS SLAMMING THE BACK OF MYLES’ HEAD INTO THE TURNBUCKLES! THE REFEREE IS URGING MR. DEDEDE TO GET OUT OF THE CORNER BUT HE REFUSES! HE TURNS MYLES AROUND AND BEGINS BASHING THE AUSTRALIAN’S FACE AGAINST THE TURNBUCKLES NOW!
Rich Russillo: MYLES IS BEING ABSOLUTELY DESTROYED HERE! MR. DEDEDE RAMS MYLES SHOULDER FIRST INTO THE RING POST AND HE DUMPS HIM TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE RING!
Persephone: This match still isn’t worth yelling over…
James Peters: Mr. DEDEDE stalks Myles on the outside. I wonder what he has in mind, guys :lupe:
Rich Russillo: Something sinister judging by that evil look in his eyes. If there is one thing we can all agree on, it’s that Mr. DEDEDE is one of the most sadistic wrestlers in EAW history.
Persephone: :wtf: Speak for yourself. I don’t agree with that. If he were as SaDiStIc as you claim, then this match would be fucking bloody.
James Peters: :lupe:
Rich Russillo: It may not be bloody, but something bad is about to happen :lupe:
Persephone: :krabs:
James Peters: MR. DEDEDE HAS MYLES UP IN THE POWERBOMB POSITION AND HE SLAMS HIM SPINE FIRST ACROSS THE EDGE OF THE RING APRON! HE MAINTAINS CONTROL AND SLAMS THE BACK OF MYLES’ HEAD OFF THE EDGE OF THE RING! MR. DEDEDE HANGS ONTO MYLES, TAKES OFF RUNNING, AND PLANTS MYLES WITH A SPINEBUSTER RIGHT ON TOP OF THE RING STEPS! MYLES MIGHT BE BROKEN IN HALF!!!
Rich Russillo: Minerva quickly rushes to check on Myles, but Mr. DEDEDE is quick to grab Myles before Minerva can get to him and throws him back in the ring. Minerva is clearly pissed off at this turn of events but there is nothing she can do about it, and she knows that.
James Peters: Even if she could, King Kass is right there to make sure that the National Elite Champion doesn’t put her hands on Mr. DEDEDE.
Persephone: Mr. DEDEDE elects not to go for the cover and instead kicks Myles in the back of the head. He is stomping away on him, and honestly, this better give Myles a concussion or I’m going to be super pissed off about it. If you’re not gunna give me blood, then you better give me a fucking head injury.
Rich Russillo: Mr. DEDEDE is looking for the ‘Infiniti Lock’ now, but Myles has enough wherewithal left to crawl to the ropes. Mr. DEDEDE is real quick to snatch him back by the hair and jerks Myles to his feet! Myles with an absolute desperation rake to the face of Mr. DEDEDE, and that allows him to put some much needed space between the two of them. Mr. DEDEDE was starting to dominate the match and that’s not something Myles can let happen.
James Peters: Mr. DEDEDE is quickly back into this match, though! Myles barely had a chance to breathe as Mr. DEDEDE comes barreling towards him with a running forearm! Myles eats that shot, and Mr. DEDEDE now with a snapmare! He kicks Myles right in the shoulder and THERE’S THE ‘INFINITI LOCK’! THE OMOPLATA SHOULDER LOCK IS APPLIED!!!!
Persephone: The look on Myles’ face is one of absolute agony and I totally stan that!
Rich Russillo: We both know that Mr. DEDEDE won’t feel a single ounce of remorse if he tries to rip that shoulder out of its socket!
James Peters: Myles is trying to reach the ropes, but look at Mr. DEDEDE! He seems to be enjoying this a little too much. Myles kicks back his own leg, doing whatever he can to try and get the rope break, but Mr. DEDEDE releases the hold? He released the hold…
Persephone: Because now he is stomping on the injured shoulder of the Cash in the Vault holder :drakelike:
Rich Russillo: Mr. DEDEDE drops back down and once again applies the ‘Infiniti Lock’! There is literally nothing Myles can do at this point but suffer or tap.
James Peters: Right now he is opting to suffer and you can see the look of concern written all over Minerva’s face right now. In my mind, Myles is no doubt a future world champion, and he has clearly faced some of the biggest names in EAW history. But this match is different. This match is against Gawd himself, and there is no bigger superstar in our sport than that man right there. Mr. DEDEDE is just built differently.
Rich Russillo: I’m not sure how long Myles can hang on, but Mr. DEDEDE doesn’t seem to want to wait. He transitions into an armbar, and he is looking to tap out Myles right now! Myles is in a world of hurt! Myles is reaching for the ropes, but he’s not close enough. Minerva is screaming at Myles to break free, but there is nowhere for him to go!
Persephone: If he taps out now, this match ends and we can move on with our lives :drakelike:
James Peters: I don’t think Myles is going to tap out, and deep down, I think Mr. DEDEDE knows that too. He wrenches back on that arm as far as he can, which forces Myles to bend backwards, and Mr. DEDEDE lets go! Myles eats a face full of canvas and Mr. DEDEDE violently elbows him in the back of the head!
Rich Russillo: Mr. DEDEDE gets up and I think he’s looking to end this match right now! He pulls Myles up and THERE’S ‘GRAND SLAM’! MR. DEDEDE JUST HIT HIS VERSION OF THE ROCK BOTTOM AND HE DROPS DOWN FOR THE COVER!!!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
Persephone: :noah:
James Peters: MYLES KICKS OUT RIGHT AS MINERVA JUMPS ON THE APRON! MR. DEDEDE SEES MINERVA AND HE FLIPS HER THE MIDDLE FINGER! KING KASS IS BEHIND MINERVA NOW, AND SHE PULLS HER OFF THE APRON! MINERVA’S FACE SLAMS AGAINST THE EDGE OF THE RING BUT THE NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPION IS QUICK TO GET TO HER FEET! THIS CROWD DOESN’T KNOW WHAT TO THINK AS KING KASS AND MINERVA ARE FACE TO FACE! THE LOOK IN MINERVA’S COLD BLUE EYES IS ONE OF PURE MALICE, AND GAWD KNOWS THE KIND OF LOOK MINERVA IS GETTING IN RETURN UNDERNEATH THE KING’S MASK.
Rich Russillo: We can’t see King Kass’s face at all and that might be one of the most intimidating things about this entire scene. The three of us have gotten a chance to know Minerva and we know how cold she really is. We know how cruel and calculating she can be. You can see it in her eyes, but you can’t see anything on Kassidy’s face right now. Whether that’s by design or there is some other reason for her face being concealed tonight, we don’t know, but Minvera is ready to spit fire at the Answers World Champion.
Persephone: We’re in Kuwait, right? Why are they trying to draw attention to themselves? This whole crowd looks like they’re ready to stone both women considering the fact they’re taking away from a men’s match. I don’t whether or not to laugh at that or be offended considering I’m having to sit here in a fucking burqa and sweat to death.
James Peters: 😅😅 haha Persephone didn’t really mean to sound offensive you guys.
Persephone: Shut the fuck up. You know I did.
Rich Russillo: MYLES CATCHES MR. DEDEDE FROM BEHIND WITH A ROLL-UP!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
James Peters: KICK OUT FROM MR. DEDEDE! HE WAS KEEPING AN EYE ON HIS WIFE AND THE OTHER ON MINERVA, AND THAT ALLOWED MYLES ENOUGH TIME TO RECOVER AND ALMOST STEAL THE WIN! MR. DEDEDE IS LIVID AND HE QUICKLY REBOUNDS, SPRINTING TOWARDS MYLES AND LOOKING FOR A SPEAR!
Persephone: MYLES DARTS OUT OF THE WAY AND MR. DEDEDE CAN’T STOP HIMSELF THIS TIME! HE FLIES OUT OF THE RING AND LANDS IN A HEAP ON THE MAT, AND MINERVA GRABS KASSIDY TO KEEP HER FROM RUSHING TO HIS AID! KASSIDY TRIES TO FEND OFF MINERVA, BUT MINERVA SENDS HER CRASHING INTO THE STEEL RING STEPS! MYLES HAS MR. DEDEDE AND HE RAMS HIM HEAD FIRST INTO THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE STEPS!
Rich Russillo: MYLES AND MINERVA SHARE A SMILE WITH ONE ANOTHER, AND MYLES GRABS MR. DEDEDE UP AND TOSSES HIM BACK INSIDE THE RING! MYLES PULLS MR. DEDEDE UP TO HIS KNEES AND JUST UNLOADS KNEE STRIKE AFTER KNEE STRIKE RIGHT TO MR. DEDEDE’S FACE! MR. DEDEDE IS ONLY UPRIGHT BECAUSE MYLES HIS HOLDING HIM THERE AND MYLES DELIVERS ONE FINAL, DECISIVE KNEE THAT DAMN NEAR KNOCKS MR. DEDEDE OUT! MYLES SCOOPS MR. DEDEDE UP, DROPS HIM THROAT FIRST ACROSS THE TOP ROPE, AND TOSSES HIM INTO THE CORNER!
James Peters: MR. DEDEDE MANAGES TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY BUT MYLES IS ABLE TO STOP HIMSELF FROM HITTING THE TURNBUCKLES! MR. DEDEDE COMES LOOKING FOR ‘RAPTURE’ BUT MYLES ROLLS TO THE LEFT AND THE CHAIRMAN GETS CAUGHT ON THE ROPES! MYLES LOOKS TO CAPITALIZE BUT MR. DEDEDE SCURRIES UP THE ROPES!
Persephone: SUPERKICK BY MYLES! HE GRABS MR. DEDEDE OFF THE TOP ROPE AND THERE’S A RUNNING SITOUT POWERBOMB! MYLES SLIPS TO THE OUTSIDE AND GETS HIMSELF SET ON THE APRON… SPRINGBOARD METEORA! HIS KNEES LAND RIGHT IN MR. DEDEDE’S CHEST AND MYLES HOOKS THE LEGS FOR THE COVER!!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTT-
Rich Russillo: MR. DEDEDE POWERS OUT!
James Peters: The tides have certainly changed in this match and I give Minerva a lot of credit for that. She knew exactly how to provoke King Kass and that led to Mr. DEDEDE being momentarily distracted. It was just enough to let Myles back into this match and now he’s firmly in control.
Persephone: That’s unfortunate because this match could have been over if Minerva had just known her role. Dumb ass bitch prolonging my suffering for literally no reason.
Rich Russillo: Myles is quick to hook Mr. DEDEDE into a sleeper, but that seems to wake the Chairman up just a bit! He doesn’t want to get trapped in a submission, and he’s flailing about, trying to get his legs under him. We’ve already mentioned that Mr. DEDEDE is the bigger of the two and with his legs under him, he is forcing both of them back up. Myles does his best to hang onto the sleeper but Mr. DEDEDE wraps his arms around Myles’ head and hits a jaw breaker to break the hold!
James Peters: DDD falls back against the ropes but uses the momentum to propel himself forward, taking Myles down with a massive lariat! DDD pounces and hauls Myles up, clubbing him over and over in the back and head. DDD is looking for a piledriver BUT LOOK! Myles blocks the piledriver, drives his fist into Mr. DEDEDE’s rib area, and he is able to lift DDD up! Back body drop my Myles! Both men are back to their feet simultaneously, and it’s DDD who greets Myles with a massive right hand! Myles fires back with a jumping knee strike that catches DDD under the chin! DDD looks for another right hand, but Myles blocks, hits the ropes, and catches DDD with a running forearm smash! Myles runs the ropes again and this time DDD takes a nasty forearm to the back of the head! DDD drops to his knees and Myles with a superkick!!!
Persephone: Myles stands over DDD and looks down at the damage he’s done so far. He clearly sees that it’s not nearly enough and he begins stomping on Mr. DEDEDE’s chest and face. DDD is able to fire back with a kick that connects to Myles’ right leg, but Myles doesn’t let up on DDD! Thank Gawd, too! I’m ready to move on with my life and someone needs to just go ahead and win this match, so I can call it a day.
Rich Russillo: DDD continues to fight back, which doesn’t surprise any of us! He continues landing those kicks and it seems like Myles has had enough. He grabs a handful of hair and drags DDD over to the turnbuckles. He smashes the Chairman’s face off the top one a few times before turning him around and going for a series of nasty chest chops! Mr. DEDEDE’s chest is bright red and Myles puts an exclamation point on this flurry of offense with a European uppercut!
James Peters: Myles doesn’t waste any time dragging DDD from the corner and snapma- no! DDD WITH A REVERSE AND HE IS GOING FOR THE ARMBAR AGAIN! MYLES WAS ABOUT TO SNAPMARE DDD DOWN, BUT DDD GOT A HOLD OF THE ARM AND WENT FOR AN ARMBAR! MYLES HAS HIS HANDS LOCKED, BUT LOOK AT DDD! HE IS DRIVING HIS KNEE INTO MYLES CHEST! MYLES TAKES FIVE… SIX… SEVEN… EIGHT… NINE… TEN STRAIGHT KNEES TO THE CHEST! DDD RELEASES THE ARM AND THERE’S A KESAGIRI CHOP! DDD FOLLOWS UP WITH A PALM THRUST DIRECTLY TO MYLES THROAT AND WRAPS HIS HAND AROUND MYLES NECK! HE LIFTS HIM UP, CHOKING THE LIFE OUT OF HIM, AND HE SLAMS MYLES DOWN!
Persephone: :gladbron: DID YOU GUYS SEE HOW HARD MYLES HIT THE BACK OF HIS HEAD??
Rich Russillo: DDD JUST JAMMED HIS THUMB INTO MYLES’ WINDPIPE AND HE’S LIFTING HIM UP BY THE NECK AGAIN! DDD SWITCHES TO A TWO-HANDED CHOKE AND HE’S GOT MYLES ALL THE WAY IN THE AIR! MYLES IS KICKING AND TWISTING, BUT MR. DEDEDE ISN’T ABOUT TO LET HIM GO! GAWD CHARGES TOWARDS THE CORNER AND MYLES IS CHOKESLAMMED ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLES!!! MYLES SLUMPS TO THE GROUND AND MR. DEDEDE DRAGS HIM OUT OF THE CORNER BY THE ANKLE AND GOES FOR THE COVER!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTT-
James Peters: MYLES GETS THE SHOULDER UP!
Rich Russillo: Mr. DEDEDE IS ANNOYED BY THAT AND HE GRABS UP MYLES! HE PLACES HIM ACROSS HIS SHOULDERS AND I CAN ONLY ASSUME THAT HE’S GOING FOR A FIREMAN’S CARRY!
James Peters: BUT MYLES HAS OTHER IDEAS! HE IS KNEEING AND ELBOWING MR. DEDEDE AND HE’S BROKEN FREE! MYLES IS ABLE TO LAND ON HIS FEET, GRAB MR. DEDEDE’S ARM, AND HE DRIVES HIS KNEE INTO MR. DEDEDE’S FACE!!! MYLES TAKES A MOMENT TO CATCH HIS BREATH AND THERE’S ‘CHECKMAYT’!!! THE RINGS OF SATURN ARE LOCKED IN AND MR. DEDEDE HAS ABSOLUTELY NOWHERE TO GO! MYLES THROWS HIS HEAD BACK AND TIGHTENS HIS GRIP! MR. DEDEDE IS TRAPPED! I REPEAT… MR. DEDEDE IS TRAPPED!!!!
Persephone: MYLES WASN’T AS STUPID THIS TIME AND MADE SURE HE HAD DEDEDE IN THE CENTER OF THE RING! DEDEDE’S ARMS ARE TRAPPED AND HE CAN’T EVEN STRETCH HIS LEGS OUT TO GET A ROPE BREAK! TAP OUT! PASS OUT! I DON’T REALLY CARE! JUST FUCKING DIE SO THIS MATCH CAN BE OVER WITH ALREADY!
Rich Russillo: It’s going to take a hell of a fucking effort to tap out Mr. DEDEDE. I highly doubt the man is just going to throw in the towel.
James Peters: :lupe: He might not tap, but Myles sure as fuck can make him pass out. Mr. DEDEDE’s face is already turning several shades of red. The only thing that is saving Mr. DEDEDE right now is the plethora of experience he has under his belt. He’s been in far worse situations before and found a way out, and he’s going to be looking to escape this time around.
Persephone: :oh: Myles cranks the neck back further but Mr. DEDEDE is able to get his knee up and drive it right into Myles’ skull! Myles’ stubborn pride won’t allow him to let go and Mr. DEDEDE cracks him in the head again! DDD SENSES HE HAS AN OPENING AND HE JUST BEGINS BEATING MYLES IN THE HEAD WITH HIS KNEE! MYLES HOLDS ON FOR AS LONG AS HE CAN BUT HE HAS TO LET GO! MR. DEDEDE WAS ABOUT TO KNOCK HIM UNCONSCIOUS AND NOW THAT HE’S FREE, MR. DEDEDE CRAWLS TO THE ROPES!
Rich Russillo: MYLES IS ON SPAGHETTI LEGS NOW AS HE GETS UP, AND ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE RING MR. DEDEDE IS USING THE ROPES TO HELP HIMSELF UP! MR. DEDEDE IS TRYING TO SHAKE SOME FEELING BACK INTO THAT ARM, AND MYLES IS TRYING TO MAKE SURE HIS BRAINS AREN’T SCRAMBLED! THIS HAS BEEN AN ABSOLUTE, BACK AND FORTH WAR SO FAR, AND I GET THE FEELING THIS IS FAR FROM OVER :lupe:!!!!
James Peters: BOTH MEN ARE STUMBLING TOWARDS ONE ANOTHER AND MR. DEDEDE INVITES MYLES TO TAKE A FREE SHOT!
Persephone: :mjlol: Remember when his dumbass wife did the same thing with TLA at Midsummer Massacre and then basically got her ass beat the entire match? I do :drakelike:
Rich Russillo: MYLES KICKS MR. DEDEDE IN THE STOMACH INSTEAD AND GRABS HIM BY THE HEAD! MYLES LOOKS TO SPIKE MR. DEDEDE WITH A DDT, BUT MR. DEDEDE REVERSES AND TRIES TO HOOK MYLES WITH A SWINGING, SPINNING NECKBREAKER! MYLES SLIPS FREE, DARTS AROUND MR. DEDEDE, AND THERE’S A RELEASE GERMAN SUPLEX! THE BACK OF MR. DEDEDE’S HEAD SLAMS INTO THE TURNBUCKLES AND HERE COMES MYLES! RUNNING SINGLE LEG DROPKICK CONNECTS ON MR. DEDEDE!
James Peters: MYLES DRAGS MR. DEDEDE OUT OF THE CORNER, PICKS HIM UP, AND DRIVES HIM BACK INTO THE OPPOSITE CORNER! MYLES TAKES A FEW STEPS BACK BEFORE SPRINTING FORWARD AND STRIKING MR. DEDEDE WITH A RUNNING FOREARM SMASH! HE FOLLOWS UP WITH A SUPERKICK, AND QUICKLY DRAGS HIS OPPONENT OUT OF THE CORNER! MYLES KEEPS UP THE OFFENSE BY STRIKING MR. DEDEDE OVER AND OVER IN THE HEAD WITH HIS FIST, DROPPING THE CHAIRMAN TO HIS KNEES. MYLES WITH MULTIPLE KICKS TO THE CHEST AND ARMS, AND USES HIS KNEE TO NAIL MR. DEDEDE IN THE TEMPLE! MYLES KICKS MR. DEDEDE ONTO HIS BACK AND GOES FOR A DOUBLE FOOT STOMP! MYLES GRABS THE LEGS AND GOES FOR THE COVER!!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEE-
Persephone: DEDEDURRRRR KICKS OUT!
Rich Russillo: I THINK MYLES KNOWS THAT WAS NEVER GOING TO BE ENOUGH! HE SIGNALS FOR THE END, AND HE’S HELPING MR. DEDEDE BACK TO HIS FEET! MYLES GETS THE GAWD UP, AND HE IS LOOKING FOR ‘THE DE FACTO’! IF MYLES HITS SPINNING PUMPHANDLE SAMOAN DROP, THIS MATCH COULD BE OVER!
James Peters: MR. DEDEDE MANAGES TO BLOCK, AND HE SLIPS HIS LEFT LEG BEHIND MYLE’S FOOT, AND SENDS BOTH OF THEM TUMBLING TO THE MAT! MR. DEDEDE UNLOADS A FLURRY OF RIGHTS AND LEFTS, AND MYLES FIRES BACK WITH PRECISE PUNCHES THAT HIT THEIR MARK! THESE TWO MEN ARE BRAWLING ALL OVER THE RING NOW, AND IT’S MR. DEDEDE WHO FINALLY COMES OUT ON TOP AND BEGINS TO BEATING THE ABSOLUTE SHIT OUT OF MYLES!
Persephone: MYLES IS COVERING UP, BUT DEDEDE IS ABSOLUTELY RELENTLESS! HE STANDS UP AND STOMPS AWAY ON MYLES! MYLES’ HEAD IS BEING TURNED TO MUSH AND DEDEDE FINALLY GRABS HIM UP! HE DRIVES MYLES FACE FIRST INTO THE TURNBUCKLES AND KICKS HIM IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD! DEDEDE GRABS MYLES AND TOSSES HIM TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE RING!
Rich Russillo: MR. DEDEDE CLIMBS TO THE TOP ROPE AND URGES MYLES TO GET UP! MYLES IS SLOW TO GET TO HIS FEET BUT MR. DEDEDE LAUNCHES HIMSELF IN THE AIR! FLYING CROSSBODY TAKES DOWN MYLES!!!! MYLES SMACKS THE BACK OF HIS HEAD ON THE GROUND! MR. DEDEDE IS UP AND HE IS RIPPING UP THE PROTECTIVE PADDING! HERE COMES MINERVA, BUT SHE IS QUICKLY CUT OFF BY THE ANSWERS WORLD CHAMPION! THE REFEREE JUMPS FROM THE RING AND GETS BETWEEN MINERVA AND KING KASS, AND MR. DEDEDE GRABS MYLES BY THE HAIR! HE CLIMBS TO THE RING APRON AND THERE’S A SENTON NECKBREAKER THAT PLANTS BOTH OF THEM ONTO THE CONCRETE!
James Peters: MINERVA HAS THROWN THE REFEREE TO THE SIDE AND HAS A HOLD OF THE KING! MINERVA ATTEMPTS TO WHIP KING KASS INTO THE BARRICADES BUT THE KING HAS OTHER PLANS! SHE CLOCKS MINERVA WITH A FOREARM AND SENDS HER CRASHING INTO THE RINGPOST! MR. DEDEDE QUICKLY GRABS HIS WIFE BY THE COLLAR AROUND HER NECK AND TUGS HER AWAY FROM MINERVA! HE ORDERS HER TO THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE RING AND HE THROWS MYLES BACK INSIDE! MYLES ROLLS TO THE CENTER OF THE RING AND I CAN’T BELIEVE HE IS ABLE TO GET BACK TO HIS FEET! MYLES HAS TAKEN QUITE A FEW BLOWS TO THE HEAD DURING THIS MATCH!!!
Persephone: FUCKING IDIOT! DEDEDE IS JUST WAITING ON HIM AND THERE IT IS! THE SPEAR! THE SPEAR! THE SPEAR CUTS MYLES IN HALF AND MR. DEDEDE GOES FOR THE COVER!!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
Rich Russillo: SHOULDER UP! SHOULDER UP! MYLES GOT HIS FUCKING SHOULDER UP! I CAN’T FUCKING BELIEVE THAT MYLES GOT HIS SHOULDER UP!
James Peters: MR. DEDEDE LOOKS ABSOLUTELY FURIOUS THAT MYLES WOULD KICK OUT OF THE SPEAR! HE BEGINS TO DELIVER EVEN MORE CLOSED-FIST PUNCHES TO MYLES’ FACE AND HEAD AND NOW HE HAS HIM BY THE THROAT! MYLES’ HEAD IS BEING SLAMMED INTO THE CANVAS OVER AND OVER, AND I THINK MR. DEDEDE IS TRYING TO KNOCK HIM OUT! MR. CASH IN THE VAULT COULD BE OUT!
Persephone: I HOPE SO! I FUCKING HOPE SO! THIS MATCH SHOULD HAVE BEEN OVER AGES AGO! DIE MYLES DIE!
Rich Russillo: MR. DEDEDE STOPS CHOKING MYLES AND GOES FOR ANOTHER COVER!!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
James Peters: KICK OUT! MYLES FUCKING KICKED OUT!
Rich Russillo: MR. DEDEDE IS RIPPING AT HIS OWN HAIR NOW! I DON’T THINK HE QUITE KNOWS WHAT TO DO WITH HIMSELF! MYLES IS SHOWING A TON OF HEART HERE RIGHT NOW DESPITE GETTING BATTERED AND MR. DEDEDE IS JUST GOING TO HAVE TO FIND ANOTHER TO PUT THIS THING AWAY!
James Peters: MR. DEDEDE SNATCHES MYLES UP AND HOOKS THE TIGHTS! MYLES BLOCKS THE VERTICAL SUPLEX ATTEMPT! MR. DEDEDE TRIES AGAIN! NO WAY! MYLES IS ABLE TO CATCH MR. DEDEDE IN A SMALL PACKAGE! HE IS GUNNA STEAL THIS WIN!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEE-
Persephone: FUCK! MR. DEDEDE KICKS OUT! MR. DEDEDE IS BACK UP! SPEAR! SPEAR!
James Peters: MYLES COUNTERS WITH A DESPERATION KNEE STRIKE THAT CAUGHT MR. DEDEDE IN THE FACE! MR. DEDEDE IS DOWN! MINERVA, WHO HAS COLLECTED HERSELF AFTER GETTING THROWN INTO THE RING POST, IS SCREAMING AT MYLES TO GET UP! MYLES IS CRAWLING TOWARDS THE ROPES AND THIS CROWD SEEMS SPLIT ON HOW THEY WANT THIS TO END! MYLES HAS SHOWN SO MUCH HEART IN THE LAST FEW MINUTES, KICKING OUT OF A SPEAR, DESPITE ALL THE ABUSE HE HAS TAKEN! I’M NO DOCTOR BUT THAT GLASSY LOOK IN HIS EYES MAKES ME BELIEVE HE MIGHT BE CONCUSSED :lupe:
Rich Russillo: MYLES MIGHT WANT TO TURN AROUND BECAUSE MR. DEDEDE IS UP TOO! MYLES LOOKS UTTERLY OUT OF IT AND DESPITE TAKING THAT NASTY KNEE TO THE FACE, MR. DEDEDE IS GOING RIGHT FOR MYLES!
Persephone: WHAT???
James Peters: HOLY SHIT! MYLES WITH AN ABSOLUTE DESPERATION LARIAT THAT CUT OFF A CHARGING MR. DEDEDE! MYLES HAS MR. DEDEDE UP NOW AND THERE IT IS! THERE’S THE ‘DE FACTO’! MYLES HAS THIS MATCH! MYLES HAS THIS FUCKING MATCH!!!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
Rich Russillo: THIS CROWD JUST LOST THEIR GODDAMN MINDS! MR. DEDEDE’S FOOT IS ON THE ROPES!
James Peters: MYLES LOOKS DEVASTATED! HE KNEW HE HAD THE MATCH WON WITH THAT! ANY OTHER OPPONENT! ANY OTHER MATCH! HE WOULD HAVE WON IT! MR. DEDEDE ALWAYS FINDS A WAY TO LEAVE HIS OPPONENTS HEARTBROKEN AND THAT DE FACTO MIGHT HAVE BEEN MYLES BEST SHOT TO ACTUALLY WIN THIS THING! YOU CAN SEE THE PAIN IN MINERVA’S EYES RIGHT NOW BECAUSE SHE KNOWS THAT WAS LIKELY MYLES’ BEST SHOT!
Persephone: MYLES HAS HIS HEAD BURIED IN HIS HANDS RIGHT NOW BUT HE’S COME TO FAR TO GIVE UP NOW. HE TRIES TO GET TO HIS FEET BUT HE STUMBLES A BIT, USING THE ROPES TO CATCH HIMSELF. MINERVA HAS RUSHED OVER TO HIM AND SHE’S PUT A COMFORTING HAND ON HIS FOOT. ALL SHE CAN DO IS RUB MYLES’ LEG AND ENCOURAGE HIM, AND HE’S JUST LEANED ON THE ROPES NOW, LOOKING DOWN AT HER :will:
Rich Russillo: :will:
Persephone: Okay, that is sweet as fuck and my girl emotions can not handle that. I really am just picturing Rex and me having a moment like that :mjcry:
James Peters: And if you look at the other side of the ring, Mr. DEDEDE has gathered his bearings and is basically licking his lips at the sight of Myles being obviously injured. Mr. DEDEDE, with his masked Mauler beside him, is a fucking ominous sight.
Rich Russillo: King Kass whispers something in Mr. DEDEDE’s ear and the Chairman pulls himself up. Myles turns around AND IS GREETED BY ‘RAPTURE’!!!! MR. DEDEDE SNATCHES MYLES OUT OF THE CORNER AND THERE’S ‘IMPALER’!!! THE LIFTING IMPALER DDT PLANTS MYLES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING AND MR. DEDEDE TURNS TO LOOK AT MINERVA! HE POINTS TO HIS HEAD, MOCKING MYLES’ FOR NOT PINNING HIM IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING JUST MOMENTS AGO, AND MINERVA IS PISSED! HER COLD BLUE EYES NARROW AT MR. DEDEDE AND SHE LOOKS AT HIM WITH ABSOLUTE FUCKING DISGUST!
Persephone: THE FUCK?? MR. DEDEDE HEADS TO THE ROPE! THIS MOTHERFUCKER IS GOING TO BREAK A GODDAMN HIP IF HE DOES WHAT I THINK HE’S GOING TO DO!!!!
James Peters: OH NO. NO WAY. NO FUCKING WAY IS HE ABOUT TO PUT MYLES AWAY WITH THIS!
Rich Russillo: MR. DEDEDE LOOKS AROUND JABER AL-AHMAD INTERNATIONAL STADIUM AND SEES THE SOLD OUT CROWD ON THEIR FEET. EVEN THE SAUDI ROYALS IN THE FRONT ROW HAVE STOPPED TALKING AND ARE WATCHING WHAT I’M SURE IS ABOUT TO BE THE END OF THIS MATCH PLAY OUT! A SICK SMILE SPREADS ACROSS THE FACE OF THE GAWD AND HE CLOSES HIS EYES!
Persephone: ‘NORTH STAR’!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A PICTURE PERFECT SHOOTING STAR PRESS!!!!!!
James Peters: MR. DEDEDE RIGHT ON TOP OF MYLES!!! THE REFEREE QUICKLY RACES INTO POSITION FOR THE COVER!!!!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

Persephone: WHAT THE FUCK????????????????????????????
Rich Russillo: THIS CROWD HAS GONE BERSERK! THEY ARE SCREAMING, STOMPING THEIR FEET, AND CHANTING!!!!! FUCKING MYLES! MR. CASH IN THE VAULT! EAW’S FUCKING WARLORD JUST KICKED OUT!!!!
James Peters: I AM FUCKING FLOORED! TWO PEOPLE… COUNT THEM! TWO. ONE. TWO. HAVE EVER FUCKING KICKED OUT OF THE ‘NORTH STAR’.
Persephone: WELL NOW IT’S THREE PEOPLE, JIM! I DON’T FUCKING KNOW HOW! I DON’T KNOW WHY! BUT MYLES JUST FUCKING KEPT HIMSELF ALIVE!
Rich Russillo: :lupe: But at what cost?
James Peters: Mr. DEDEDE has sat up, and that look on his face just gave me the fucking chills. King Kass has gone as still as a statue on the outside of the ring, and even though we can’t even see her eyes, we know they are locked on her husband’s. Every bit of emotion has drained from the face of Mr. DEDEDE and he takes his time getting up. He looks down at Myles, who has turned onto his side and is trying to get the air back into his lungs. Minerva has taken a step back from the ring, and you can see the concern on her face.
Persephone: Mr. DEDEDE is standing there, staring at Myles, and I think he’s going to kill him. We are really about to see a fucking murder here in the middle of this shithole city.
Rich Russillo: The fact Myles has managed to survive this long is a true testament to the kind of special talent that he is. If you look beyond all the bullshit that New Eden spouts, matches like these are what someone like Myles lives for. Nothing is on the line. Nothing is to be gained for either man tonight other than a win. That’s all there is to this.
James Peters: Mr. DEDEDE takes a deep breath AND BEGINS KICKING MYLES IN THE HEAD! HIS FOOT CONNECTS WITH MYLES’ SKULL MULTIPLE TIMES! MR. DEDEDE JERKS MYLES UP, ONE ARM WRAPPED AROUND THE MAN’S NECK, AND HE JUST CONTINUES TO ELBOW MYLES IN THE SKULL! THE REFEREE ATTEMPTS TO INTERVENE BUT MR. DEDEDE SNARLS AT HIM AND WARDS HIM OFF! THE CHAIRMAN HAS BECOME UNHINGED! MR. DEDEDE IS MAKING SURE THAT MYLES WILL NEVER KICK OUT OF HIS FINISHER AGAIN! MR. DEDEDE LETS GO OF MYLES AND THE AUSTRALIAN SLUMPS TO THE CANVAS IN A HEAP! MR. DEDEDE THROWS HIS HEAD BACK AND LAUGHS BEFORE GRABBING MYLES AND THERE’S THE ‘MK DRIVER’!!!! THE LIFTING UNDERHOOK BRAINBUSTER CONNECTS ON MYLES!
Persephone: THIS SICK FUCK ISN’T GOING FOR THE COVER THOUGH! HE’S DOWN ON THE MAT AND THERE’S A VERTICAL CROSS-LEGGED MUTA LOCK!!!!
Rich Russillo: THE ‘METH LOCK’ :damn:!!!! WE HAVEN’T SEEN MR. DEDEDE USE THAT IN AGES!!! THE REFEREE ISN’T GOING TO LET THIS MATCH GO ON ANY LONGER! MYLES IS OUT, LIKELY INJURED, AND THE REFEREE CALLS FOR THE BELL!!!!
( DING! DING! DING! )
( ‘Follow God’ by Kanye West begins to blast across the public address system, and Mr. DEDEDE is greeted with a rather mixed reaction. He lets go of the ‘Meth Lock’ and lumbers to his feet, demanding that the referee raise his hand. )
Bella Braxton: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN… HERE IS YOUR WINNER VIA STOPPAGE… MR. DEDEDE!!!!
( King Kass has slid into the ring and immediately crosses to her husband. Mr. DEDEDE hooks his finger under her collar to lift her chin up and he gives her a look of pure lust. He lets her go, and King Kass wraps her arms around his waist to congratulate him. Mr. DEDEDE drops a kiss on the top of her hooded head, and holds her as they enjoy the thrill of his victory. )
James Peters: What can I really say about that match? Mr. DEDEDE hasn’t been inside the ring since Pain for Pride and he might be more dangerous than he’s ever been in his life. Myles did everything he could, fighting through what we all believe to be a pretty bad concussion, and damn near pulled out the win if only Mr. DEDEDE had been positioned more towards the center of the ring.
Rich Russillo: I can’t even fault Myles for that, though. At that point, I don’t even think he knew where he was at, James. That ‘De Facto’ was all he had left, and believe it or not, I think a lot of people here tonight got behind Myles and wanted to see him win.
( The referee has helped Myles over to the edge of the ring, where Minerva is waiting. She gathers Myles in her arms and buries her face against his shoulder. To hell with the crowd, the customs, and everything else that is supposed to be appropriate. She clings to the love of her life, and makes sure in that moment, no matter how hurt he is, that his effort didn’t go unnoticed. Myles fought, with everything he had in him, and cemented the fact that he is a future world champion that is capable of holding that belt for a long time. Whether he believes in championships or not, ‘The Warlord’ is the future of the business, and that future is in damn good hands. Minerva pulls away from Myles, shoos the referee away, and wraps his arm around her shoulder. She secures her arm around his waist, and slowly, with Minerva helping him, Myles begins to walk up the ramp. The crowd gives Myles a huge ovation for his effort and his passion for just the pure love of combat. )
( As Myles and Minerva head out, the camera turns back to the ring. King Kass has taken a step back so everyone’s attention can be on Mr. DEDEDE. She stands on the outside of the ring, looking up, as he stands on the turnbuckles, nodding his head and basking in his own Gawdliness. )
(Promotional ad for Road to Redemption, where Donovan Duke defends his 24/7 Contract against Showdown’s Ronan Malosi.)
(The scene opens up in the back of a limousine. We see Miku Sakai covered in a mink coat, sun glasses, and sipping champagne. The landscape of Cleveland, Ohio can be seen in the background as Miku takes a drink out of her champagne glass. She acts as if she doesn’t see the camera, and acts shocks when she sees it, even though it’s a limo)
Miku Sakai: OH! FUCK! Didn’t see you there. I was too busy living the high life! As you can see, I’m not in the arena, and the fact I’m even in this podunk city, makes my skin crawl. But I have decided to do what is best for me, and not show up to a shitty arena, in one of the worst cities in America. As soon as we crossed the city line, a scent of garbage wafted into my nose. Now that could be the city, or could just mean that Harper Lee is near, but either way, I’m not coming. And why should I? I’ve been treated with nothing but disrespect around here for the last few weeks from Harper. Whether that’s her costing me a match, whether that’s her literally ruining my birthday.
Miku Sakai: Why should I show up? I’m the Specialists Champion, and I refuse to be treated with such disrespect around here. So I’m sorry Cleveland, I’m not going to show up to your second rate city, and run the risk of this stupid bitch, trying to steal camera time from me AGAIN! I’m going back to my five star hotel that you wouldn’t even know existed in a place like this. But as for you Harp? I don’t know what to tell you. All this time you’re just playing mind games, because you know you can’t actually rely on talent. But since the beginning, you and I have been on different pages. You and I just can’t seem to figure it out can we?
(Miku intensely stares out the window contemplating the last few weeks, as she sips her champagne some more)
There seems to be a disconnect between the two of us. You see the way I live my life as wrong, you think that it makes me a bad person. You just judge me without getting to know me! HOW FAIR IS THAT?! It’s not fair, you’re just a judgemental cunt, and it’s rude. The way I live my life isn’t wrong, it’s just living life to the fullest. I get every single aspect out of life that I possibly can, and it bothers you, because you know you can’t live your life the same way. Now I don’t think the way you live your life is wrong necessarily, I just think you live your life like a fucking loser. But that’s not wrong per say; there’s nothing wrong living your life like that, that’s the way you were born, that’s the way you were raised.
Miku Sakai: You don’t know anything different so I can’t fault you. And you don’t have the physical talents to actually help you in that aspect, so it is what it is, but you do run into some problems. You don’t run into much success, you don’t take risks, you continue to judge everyone based on your scale. Take a look around you, look at all the people spectating right now in that arena that I’m guessing you decided to go into tonight; they’re just like you. They’re losers just like you, and if you continue to be the person you are today you will be right there with them, being a spectator. You hate me because I live my life like a star because it’s nothing like you. We live opposite lives, but that should be ok. You choose to be a timid piece of shit, that has been nothing but a mat to be stepped on.
Miku Sakai: I need people like you, stars need people like you in order to look better than they already are. The delusional ones, the loudest voice in the room, with the littlest action. I can feast off of you, I can make a career off of you, because when it comes right down to it; you’re not going to do anything. You’re going to tell me that facts don’t matter, because that would shut you down. You’re going to tell me that I’m redundant, because you don’t want to hear the truth. You’re going to create every excuse in the book just so you don’t have to live with reality, that you’re just not good enough. But when those excuses end, when the excuses run dry, you will be sitting right there in the crowd watching the stars work, you will watch the Miku Sakai’s of the world, make an example of more Harper Lee’s, giving you more company in the stands. Because that’s how this works Harper.
Miku Sakai: Do you know how many Harper Lee’s have walked into this company? Way too many to keep count of. Do you know how many Miku Sakai’s there have been in this company? 1, and it just so happens to be me. So if you want to come step up to me again, you’ll have to buy a ticket to do it. Take accountability for your shiftiness. I don’t want to hear about how you’ve been slighted, because that’s just the cards that you’ve been dealt and how you’re going to have to live your life. You weren’t dealt a Miku Sakai hand, and it’s unfair I know. But trying to cut arguments off at the legs because it doesn’t paint a pretty picture of you? Well that’s exactly why you’re never going to make it in this company.
(The limo stops in front of The Ritz-Carlton in downtown Cleveland. Miku Sakai steps out of the limo and throws her glass onto the street, shattering it. The doorman in front of the hotel notices and seemingly goes to say something)
Door Man: Um m-
(Miku cuts him off before he says anything, as he continues to open the door for her as she walks inside)
Miku Sakai: Don’t worry, no one will notice, it’s Cleveland, I’m just adding to all the shit around here.
(Miku slips a $100 bill in his pocket and keeps walking into the lobby)
Miku Sakai: Look at this place though Harper, you would never expect a hotel this nice in a place like this would you? But when you’re Miku Sakai you’re capable of getting luxury like this. This is what being Specialists Champion; this is living the life with all the perks that it has to offer. And you want to take all this away from EAW? You know you don’t live life as well as I do. You know that you wouldn’t do this title justice. I just don’t understand where you could possibly come up with half the shit that you do when trying to talk to me.. And in public no less. I don’t want people to know that you know me, we’re just coworkers yes, but the mere fact you feel comfortable enough to approach me and speak words is absolutely disgusting. Then, I have to actually listen to what you say, and it’s never good.
Miku Sakai: People will talk Harper, they will think that I hold lesser tier talent as company, when I don’t. Think before you act, you have no idea the impact this could have on EAW in its entirety. Especially when you ruined my birthday. I blame myself for that though. I should’ve rented out my own private place somewhere in the city, and I should’ve had security, and the whole 9 yards. That’s on me, because of course you would want to get yourself in front of the camera any chance that you could get.
(Miku keeps going into an elevator, and presses the button where her room is. It’s a pretty long way up, but finally the elevator stops at the top. Miku goes to her room, and opens up to a massive room with giant windows, multiple rooms, and a giant bed.)
Miku Sakai: I swear to God if I find you in here creeping around, I’ll kill you. That is something that you would do; just break into someone’s hotel room just so you could insert yourself into my life even more than you already have. Quite pathetic to try and live vicariously through me, but with how your career has gone, I wouldn’t be surprised. You’re like a leech sucking EAW dry. Now if you’ll excuse me Harper, I may tune into Voltage and actually watch it.. Knowing full well without me you won’t even be on the television program. Funny how that works right? The cameras wanted to watch me this week, whatever I did, and had no interest in you, or what you had to say. It’s almost as if you’re not interesting at all, and no one actually wants you to be Specialists Champion.
Miku Sakai: There’s a reason why I’m the champion, and once again you find yourself as a challenger. Familiar territory for you, and familiar territory for me. I have been in this company for almost 12 months now, and I’ve been a champion for 10 of them, and you think that’s an accident? You think that’s a mistake? Nah, that’s just the future, and what everyone needs to familiarize themselves with.. A future of Miku Sakai DOMINATING. Maybe if you stopped over analyzing shit, and actually took things for face value the cold, cruel reality would set in, and you would actually be able to move on with your life.. Failed Twitch streamer, but no, you can’t accept that you have failed at yet another thing.. Anyway, I’ve given you a taste of the life of Miku Sakai enough.. Let me be, I have a massage coming in 20 minutes and I must get ready while watching a Harperless Voltage. See you at Road to Redemption Harper!
(Miku pushes the camera man out of her room, and slams the door his face. Camera fades to black)
( It’s a little loud and chaotic backstage at Voltage. All day long, Candice Blair has been getting pampered and dolled-up for the biggest photoshoot of her career. Today, she is shooting the cover for her new Christmas single, a cover of Mariah Carey’s classic ‘All I Want for Christmas’. A good portion of the backstage area has been converted into the most magical winter wonderland, and in the middle of it all, holding a giant candy cane and wearing nothing but a skimpy red bikini trimmed with fur, white fur boots, and a cute Santa hat is Candice Blair. She looks mesmerizing. In fact, she’s never looked happier, and standing off to the side, lovestruck and imagining God knows what, is Candice’s tag team partner and best friend, Danny Tanner. The photog takes a few more shots of Candice before directing her to grab a teddy bear from the pile of gifts that are on the set. Candice drops the candy cane and grabs the bear, hugging it to her chest and smiling brightly into the camera. )
Danny Tanner: ( whispering to himself ) I would give anything to be that teddy bear…
( A few of the stagehands working the shoot have heard Danny and they all give him weird looks. Frankly, Danny just gives off really weird vibes and makes a lot of people very uncomfortable. Luckily for him, Candice seems to be very oblivious to this. In fact, every now and then, she even looks over at Danny and gives him a little wave. )
Danny Tanner: ( whispering to himself ) Damn, she really must like you if you staring at her like this doesn’t creep her out. Then again, who wouldn’t stare at a woman like that in a bikini with fur boots on and a Santa hat…
( Danny looks down and he makes the strategic decision to shift to his right and make sure no one can see the bulge he’s unable to hide at the moment. )
Danny Tanner: ( whispering to himself ) Of course she likes you. Any woman who doesn’t run for the hills after catching you googling images of Faye Valentine and women who cosplay as Faye Valentine really does appreciate you for who you are. Never forget that Candice once offered to watch Cowboy Bebop with you.
( Just remembering that conversation with Candice nearly makes Danny cum right there in his pants. To his credit, he keeps his composure, and continues to watch his friend do her thing. The photographer takes a few more pictures of Candice and the bear, before announcing it was time for a break. Candice keeps the teddy bear and begins to make her way over to Danny. A friendly smile crosses her face as she holds the bear out for him. )
Danny Tanner: For me?
Candice Blair: Yes! It’s so cute and cuddly, and I thought you might like to keep it as a souvenir. After my Christmas song goes viral, that teddy bear is going to be worth a ton of money. Danny, I am just so excited for this song to get released! My producer just texted me and said they are putting the final touches on the recording and it should be ready to go by Tuesday! How exciting is that?! We tried really hard to get it out by December first, but you know what? I think it’s better this way. It will be the perfect holiday treat for everyone to enjoy this upcoming week as we head to Road to Redemption, and guess what??
( The sparkle in Candice’s eyes and the excitement in her voice have Danny completely hooked on whatever she is going to say to him next. She could tell him Alex Myers is standing behind him, about to set him on fire, and he would still be excited because that’s what Candice is feeling right now. )
Danny Tanner: What?! Tell me! You have me on the edge of my seat!
( Candice bounces up and down, clapping her hands, and it’s obvious where Danny’s eyes advert too. )
Candice Blair: I’M GOING TO BE PERFORMING ‘ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS’ AT AN AUSSIE SUMMER CHRISTMAS SPECTACULAR!!!!
( Candice grabs Danny’s hands and together they bounce up and down with one another. After a moment, both of them calm down and Candice gives Danny’s hands a squeeze. )
Candice Blair: Do you think I’ll nail the performance, Danny?
( Candice Blair had one of the worst singing voices of all time, but Danny knew damn well that the appeal was not her voice. He squeezes her hands back and nods his head in a reassuring manner. )
Danny Tanner: I think you’ll be amazing. I can’t wait to see you perform the song live!
( No doubt, it was going to be a disaster but Candice would have enough tits and ass on display to get away with it like she did at Pain for Pride. Danny could only imagine the type of spectacle the performance would end up being and he knew it would give him and the rest of the world the best fapping material they could find besides Sailor Moon pornography. )
Candice Blair: I’m excited! I really do believe that 2022 is going to be the year that Candice Blair takes over the world! It all starts at Road to Redemption when I put Alex Myers in their place, and now the match takes on an entirely different meaning. With Alex going to Dynasty, I may not have the chance to shut them up again, so I’m definitely not wasting it.
Danny Tanner: :lupe: I still don’t like the fact you are facing them in an Inferno Match.
Candice Blair: Why do you think I’m doing this photoshoot now? 😅
( Danny doesn’t like hearing that, but Candice gives him a look. )
Candice Blair: I am only half joking, Danny. It’s alright. Look, I know an Inferno Match isn’t something that is ideal for someone like me, but I’ve been in hardcore matches before. In fact, I have done a damn good job with them. Obviously, fire isn’t something anyone really wants to deal with if they have a choice, but Alex is a bully and they don’t get to push you around. They don’t get to push me around, and I’m going to make sure that when Road to Redemption is said and done, there’s not much left of them for Dynasty to have.
Danny Tanner: Look, Candice. I don’t want you to feel obligated to always fight my battles. I know I’m not some stud like Myles or some incredible wrestler and bad ass like Drake King, or whoever. But I really believe you should sit this one out. I can face Alex at Road to Redemption.
( Danny hoped he sounded convincing, because he was anything but convinced he could handle someone like Alex Myers in an Inferno Match. He wanted nothing to do with the match and was scared to be at ringside with Candice for it, but he felt like he should step up and say something. Luckily for Danny, Candice wasn’t the type of woman to ever back down from a challenge. )
Candice Blair: You are so cute, I literally just can’t even. Alex threw a fireball at my face. They are going to pay for that. They could have ruined my entire livelihood and I want to make sure they know what it’s like to have their face scorched by fire. Alex deserves the absolute worst that I can possibly dish out to them and if that means putting the rainbows, sunshine, and sparkles away, then so be it. Whatever fear I have about this situation isn’t going to hold me back from getting this win for us. We deserve the world and like I told you. 2022 is going to be the year that Candice Blair takes over the world! I feel like 2022 is going to be a great year for you, Danny! Imagine both of us at the top of this industry! Ohmygod, maybe I can be the Empress of Elite and you can be the King of Elite!
Danny Tanner: :whoa: Alright. Let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Knowing my luck my mom will probably die of a stroke and I’ll get skin cancer.
( Candice’s smile slips just a little bit and she blinks. )
Candice Blair: What?
( A big fake awkward laugh escapes from Danny. )
Danny Tanner: I’M KIDDING! Of course 2022 will be a great year for us!
( Candice’s smile returns. )
Candice Blair: I’m so glad you agree.
( Before Candice can say more, the photographer calls her back over to the set. )
Candice Blair: Well that’s my cue! Do you wanna hit up Starbucks after I’m done and get peppermint mochas??
( Danny gave Candice a shocked look. Did she just invite him to hang out after the show? Was this a date? He didn’t know how to answer. He opened his mouth to reply but a bunch of strange noises came out, followed by a series of hiccups. Danny wanted to die of embarrassment. )
Candice Blair: Oh goodness. Get some water. As soon as I wrap up and get changed, we’ll go!
( He stupidly nods, clutching the teddy bear she had given him to his chest. Danny watched as Candice dropped to her knees in the middle of a big pile of fake snow and started throwing it up in the air while laughing. He was in so much trouble with this woman and he didn’t know how he was ever going to get out of it. )
( Voltage fades elsewhere. )
(Sunday Night Voltage fades back into the arena where the sounds of ‘New Tank’ by Playboi Carti are heard blasting through the speakers of the Rocket Mortgage Field House to mostly boos being poured in by the crowd. These Clevelanders are not a fan of Jay Jerry Johnson by any means. Triple J soaks in all the boos, as he arrogantly walks down the ramp snarling at the crowd closest to him. It isn’t long before he rolls into the ring and is prepared to say what he needs to say in the middle of the ring)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen, introducing at this time… JAY JERRY JOHNSON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
James Peters: Last week Jay had a great showing against McCall Everett, but I don’t think that’s what made the headlines. After the match, Jon Kelton showed up and made his presence known. He made sure Jay knew that his match for the New Breed Championship was still on, and he had no problem taking it to Jay.
Rich Russillo: Thankfully for Jay, Jon Kelton didn’t really need to uphold that title match. Now Jay has his chance for the title that he’s been longing for for such a long time. The hopes of Voltage rests on his shoulders as we look to gain new gold from the blue brand!
Persephone: Thankfully? Thankfully for who? I was overjoyed when I heard Jon Kelton won the title because I thought that match for Road To Redemption would be canceled! But much to my dismay we now not only have to suffer through Jerrbear here, but we also have to suffer through old ass Jon Kelton! It’s even worse! No one wants to see this! Why must we be tortured on a weekly basis by people that consistently show to be the worst in every aspect of life. Oh.. It wants to talk.. Sigh this is going to suck ass
(Jay has microphone in hand staring down the hard camera)
Jay Jerry Johnson: Last week.. I’d say it was a good week. I showed off my talents, and picked up a victory. But that’s not all that happened last week. See it’s not often that I pay attention to any other shows, but last week I had no choice. Jon Kelton, decided to ruin the best match on the card at Road To Redemption, when he stole the New Breed Championship. We might as well call this guy The Grinch honestly. The Grinch that stole my New Breed title. I’ll be honest after watching Showdown and seeing Jon Kelton take that title from Amir, it sent shockwaves through my system.
Jay Jerry Johnson: When I saw that Jon was getting a title match before me, right before Road To Redemption, I was already pretty pissed off. I knew that Amir couldn’t handle a title match before Road To Redemption, I could already tell it wasn’t going to go in his favor. So when the bell rang and Jon Kelton stood there with the New Breed Championship, I won’t lie, I was pissed, and a little worried. I thought my title match evaporated into thin air, and I was just screwed. Jon Kelton didn’t need to uphold this title match, but he did. I can be a Man and say that it took balls to do that. That being said, it also took no fucking brains whatsoever, and Jon Kelton is making the biggest mistake of his pathetic career.
(The crowd erupts in boos)
Jay Jerry Johnson: Oh don’t boo because you don’t like the truth. Jon Kelton could’ve cut ties, and had Road To Redemption off, and he chose not to; and that my friends, is how you get hurt in this business. He’s taking an unnecessary risk. He didn’t have to grant me my title match, but he decided to anyway. I’m not going to lie and say it’s a good decision. Let’s look at the facts, I’m on the come up, and it doesn’t matter who holds the New Breed Championship at Road To Redemption going into the match, at the end I was always going to come out on top.
Jay Jerry Johnson: Now I’m against Kelton? I mean that’s like a gift, Merry Christmas to me! He doesn’t know what it’s like to be champion, he’s been here how long and this is his first one since coming back? This guy has been around for so long making no impact it’s hard to care about what he does. It took me so long to finally get my name in the championship picture, and I’m not going to let some over the hill fuck stick leap frog me out of nowhere just to take what’s MINE!
(‘Last Strike’ by Polo G abruptly starts playing, and Jon Kelton with his New Breed Championship makes his way down to the ramp, and gets into the ring, right into the face of Triple J, before backing up)
Jon Kelton: You want to talk about how long it takes to get somewhere? Look no further than me! You talked about it, you said how long it took me to get this, and you quickly dismiss it? You think you’re owed something because you won a match on a FPV a few months back? That’s nothing. You don’t know what it’s like to scratch and claw for something you know you deserve, and constantly watch as others take what you were so close to getting. You talk about my long journey like it’s a bad thing, but it’s not. You want to complain about how long it’s taken you to get to this point, but it doesn’t mean shit. This was the first championship match I had since my return, and now that I finally got what I wanted, there’s no way I’m going to let someone take it from me. Especially after what happened with the 24/7 contract.
Jon Kelton: I’ve felt that disappointment. After thinking I had the world at my hands, only to have it torn away from me. I’m not going back.. I have been hit with set back, after set back it seems, and I finally got a break; and I’m not going to apologize just because it came at your expense. I saw an opportunity and I jumped on it, the same thing that you would’ve done. My road to redemption started two weeks early, and I’m going to make up for what happened with that contract by making sure the New Breed title doesn’t leave my hands. You think you know what it’s like to wait, and suffer? You don’t know anything yet. After I’m done with you, you’ll know what true suffering is.
(Triple J responds with a loud groan)
Jay Jerry Johnson: Are you done with the sob story? I don’t care about your life bro, and I get it’s the time for miracles being close to Christmas and all, but what those stories leave out, eventually it all turns back again. Eventually there is a sad ending that comes back, happy endings don’t happen, and you need to realize that. It was a nice story, but I don’t believe in happy endings. I believe in opportunistic situations, and this one right here.
(Triple J slams the microphone into the face of Kelton, rocking Kelton back a little but he catches hs bearings.)
James Peters: Triple J now charging at Kelton! But Kelton sprawls out, and is now picking Triple J up for a german suplex! And it lands! Triple J landing hard on his neck! But he rolls through, and now it’s Kelton charging! Here he comes! OH MY! Triple J is able to side step Kelton and throw him shoulder first into that steel ring post! Kelton seems rocked now, as Triple J has something in mind!
Rich Russillo: Yeah I don’t like that look in his eye! He has something egregious in his thoughts! He see’s the title laying there on the ground! A sinister smile is breaking out on his face, as he’s picking up the title! Oh no, Kelton don’t turn around!
Persephone: Or do! That would be better! Why are you two acting like pussies this is tame compared to what we’ve seen so far! HIT HIM! TAKE HIS HEAD OFF! ACTUALLY MAKE THIS SHIT WORTH WATCHING YOU BUMS!
James Peters: Kelton is stirring as he gets up! JAY LAYS THE NEW BREED CHAMPIONSHIP RIGHT INTO THE FACE OF KELTON! AND HE’S BUSTED OPEN! Kelton is bleeding from the face, and he seems to be knocked unconscious. Triple J of course is proud of himself for what he’s done. How disgusting!
Persephone: How BEAUTIFUL! Who would’ve thought a loser like that would have that in him!
Rich Russillo: Could this be the sight that we’re looking at come Road To Redemption? I can’t lie, I would be happy to have someone on Voltage have the New Breed Championship, but Triple J? Can you imagine how unbearable he would become? I mean he’s already so… Him.
James Peters: I guess we’ll see how this plays out at Road To Redemption! We’ll be right back!
(The camera fades as we see Jay Jerry Johnson standing tall over the bloody body of Jon Kelton, as Triple J holds the title over his head, and stares the camera down)
(The shot fades to the backstage area, where the EAW Universal Women’s Champion, Ms. Extreme, is seen walking in the backstage area. Championship around her shoulder, she opens a door to her dressing room and is surprised to see a small, neatly-wrapped gift sitting in her cubby. It doesn’t have a name on it, but Ms. Extreme bears an expression as if she knows who this gift came from. She approaches it and sets her title down in the cubby. She picks up the gift, shakes it a bit and then is interrupted by a familiar voice.)
???: Careful with that, it’s not something you want to shake too much.
(Ms. Extreme looks behind her and the camera pans to none other than the EAW World Champion, Drake King. Drake slowly enters the room, staring at the tightly-wrapped gift and beginning to speak.)
Ms. Extreme: You didn’t have to buy me a gift, I didn’t- I didn’t buy you anything. I didn’t know you were going to-
Drake King: No, no, no, this is the least I could do. Besides, I wouldn’t call it much a gift as more so a… commemoration. A remembrance of history you created and the piece of the puzzle that truly began completing your legacy as one of the greatest female elitists to ever step foot inside that ring. I mean, I also didn’t actually go out and, you know, pursue this or whatever. A fan, as you’d expect, was using it to troll me and try to get under my skin for whatever, or maybe obvious reasons. But I figured I would try and make her miserable life worth something for once and give this to you myself.
Ms. Extreme: Ah, well, I guess that’s a positive. Thanks, I- thank you, I think?
Drake King: It’s no problem, hopefully it doesn’t have any nasty diseases or bacteria on it. The girl, who was really more of an out of shape woman, wasn’t exactly the cleanliest person I’ve seen. :francis:
(Ms. Extreme looks at the gift, confused, yet optimistic. She tears the paper off and reveals a glass frame, coated with a steel outline, inside of it, a blood stained piece of canvas. At the bottom of the frame is engraved the words; Ms. Extreme vs. Darcy May Morgan: Pain For Pride XIV: Universal Women’s Championship. Drake gives an awkwardly gleeful and childish smile to the surprised, but appreciative Ms. Extreme.)
Ms. Extreme: So this is- this is a-
Drake King: Yeah, it’s a piece of the ring canvas from Pain For Pride XIV, where you beat Darcy May Morgan and- and claimed the EAW Universal Women’s Championship. Some people waste time and effort on value-less items that can be discarded and replaced at the drop of a dime, but this is one of a kind. It only happened once and you’re the only person who can claim it.
Ms. Extreme: Wow, this is-…wow.
(Drake King’s awkward smile fades into a glance of uncertainty, then worry.)
Drake King: If you don’t like it, I understand. I mean, I- The woman who I got this from was- you know, it’s not very high end. It’s just a little something, but if you don’t want it, it’s no problem..
Ms. Extreme: No, this is actually great! I mean, you’ve given me a piece of the win that immortalized my career at Pain For Pride. You’ve given me back a reminder that I’m the most vicious, eager and savage Universal Women’s Champion there’s ever been and even winning this title once cost me blood, sweat and tears. You can see and probably smell the sacrifice through this gift! Thank you, Drake.
(Ms. Extreme leans in to hug Drake, but Drake leans the same way, so they both try to switch and end up leaning the same way again. They both laugh and eventually come together for an embrace. They hug for more than five seconds and both elitists find themselves awkwardly coming apart, but now, eye to eye.)
(Ms. Extreme pulls away and so does Drake King, Drake looks at the ground and then back up at the ceiling, awkwardly stuttering and and trying to speak to the clearly embarrassed Ms. Extreme.)
Drake King: I’m, I’m sorry- I-uhhhh..
Ms. Extreme: I mean, it’s- I just wanted to say thank you for this. I know you didn’t buy it or anything, but I still appreciate it.
(Ms. Extreme looks awkwardly at Drake King, who is looking at the floor and letting his head look up, but not his eyes.)
Drake King: No, it’s really no problem at all. Glad it could uhh, glad it could get some use and better it collect dust on the wall of a true elitist than someone who couldn’t care less about this sport. So, yeah, it really is no problem.
(There’s an awkward silence between the two, before Ms. Extreme sets the gift down in her cubby and smiles at Drake. Drake dawns an unsure and awkward smile at Ms. Extreme looks at him.)
Ms. Extreme: Well, I guess we also have some more common ground again coming up at Road To Redemption. We’re both gonna be defending our titles in the Extreme Elimination Chamber against five other competitors and you’re gonna have the chance to take away another wasted title opportunity for Chris Elite and Jake Smith.
Drake King: *Sigh* This shouldn’t even be happening in the first place. We should be beyond Extreme Elimination Chambers, but no. Once again, I have to go through another one of those matches. Once again I have to put myself through an Extreme Elimination Chamber, wasting everyone’s time in a pointless match that doesn’t do anything for anybody.
Ms. Extreme: Well, you know you have the skills to beat every competitor in that chamber, and regardless of how you and New Eden feel about titles and stuff, I’m sure you’d rather leave the arena with that Championship than without it. I don’t plan on losing my Universal Women’s Championship, and I don’t think you should be looking forward to losing, either.
(Drake doesn’t say anything in response, clearly not wanting to continue that conversation.)
Ms. Extreme: Like I said though, thank you for the gift, and good luck at Road To Redemption.
(She extends her hand and Drake smiles.)
Drake King: The same to you…
(Drake takes her hand and they shake hands and stay shaking hands, until the movement slows and they take a deep look at one another-)
KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!
(Ms. Extreme and Drake both turn around as Ms. Extreme with a confused look on her face. She walks towards the door and opens it in anger, but nobody stands outside it. Ms. Extreme ventures into the hallway and looks around the backstage area-)
BANG!
Rich Russillo: WHAT THE?! IT’S REBCCA BLACKWELL AND HOLLY ARROW, THEY JUST BLINDSIDED MS. EXTREME! THEY’RE OUT FOR PAYBACK FROM LAST WEEK!
James Peters: HOLLY NOW STOMPING AWAY AT THE FALLEN BODY OF MS. EXTREME, PUNCHES AND KICKS, THEY’RE PUNISHING THE UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION!
(Ms. Extreme absorbs several nasty boots to the midsection and yells out in pain. Drake King comes storming out into the backstage area and charges towards both Blackwell and Arrow.)
Rich Russillo: HERE COMES DRAKE! DRAKE AND MS. EXTREME WERE SHARING A MOMENT AND THESE TWO DESTROYED IT! THEY LURED MS. EXTREME INTO AN ATTACK AND NOW THEY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE EAW WORLD CHAMPION!
James Peters: LOOK AT DRAKE! HE’S FIGHTING THEM OFF! HE SHOVES HOLLY BACK AND GRABS REBECCA BLACKWELL, TOSSING HER INTO A BOX OF EQUIPMENT WITH FORCE! DRAKE IS EVENING THE SCORE AND NOW HE LOOKS BACK AT THE DAZED HOLLY ARROW! DRAKE KING IS ABOUT TO DRIVE HER HEAD DOWN INTO THE GROUND WITH A ‘JUDGEMENT DAY’!!! DRAKE KING, HE’S GONNA PUNISH THEM FOR ATTACKING MS. EXTREME-
BANG!
Rich Russillo: NOW REBECCA COMES BACK WITH THAT MONITOR, SHE GRABBED THE EQUIPMENT AND SLAMMED IT INTO THE BACK OF DRAKE’S HEAD! HE JUST HIT THE GROUND IN A HEAP AND HE’S NOT GETTING BACK UP!
(Ms. Extreme barely crawls towards Drake and looks at him, while trying to keep conscious.)
James Peters: HOLLY ARROW NOW WITH A PUNISHING BOOT TO THE SKULL OF MS. EXTREME! THAT ONE PUT MS. EXTREME OUT COLD AND NOW BOTH DRAKE AND CAMILLE ARE LIFELESS ON THE FLOOR! HOLLY ARROW AND REBECCA BLACKWELL JUST TOOK OUT THE UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S AND EAW WORLD CHAMPIONS! IF EVER THERE WAS A STATEMENT BY TWO TITLE CHALLENGERS, MY WORD, IS THAT ONE!
(Holly Arrow and Rebecca Blackwel mock Drake and Camille, who have been laid out and are showing no signs of consciousness. Rebecca then walks into the dressing room, grabs Drake King’s gift and smashes it to the floor beside them. The glass from the frame splinters everywhere and Ms. Extreme is seen barely covering up. Holly and Rebecca scuff their feet against that prized piece of ring canvas and then skulk away out of shot, proud of their handiwork.)
(The shot shows Drake and Ms. Extreme on the ground, Ms. Extreme in tremendous pain, but even still, reaching for that ring canvas and trying to grab the frame with the other hand. She drops her head down to the ground as the crowd fades to an eerie silence. The shot fades to commercial break.)
(Hasbulla Magomedov is featured in a life-coach commercial and can be seen talking to Jake Smith. Hasbulla then says in Russian; “Even the little guys can do big things!” Jake Smith puts his thumb into the air and the two stand side by side, nearly eye level.)
[SCREENBAR – Bloodsport 2021.]
(A recap of this deeply personal feud is played throughout the NOW arena as it shows Drake attacking Justin Windgate and mercilessly leaving him for dead, then transitions to the stipulation unveil, where the two brawled upon hearing the stipulation. Drake King raced up the ramp as Justin Windgate was shown wielding a chainsaw inside the ring. The promo package ends with a shot of the two men standing face to face, this feud extremely personal.)
(Bella Braxton is shown inside the ring.)
Bella Braxton: LADIES AND GENTLEMAN…THE FOLLOWING MATCH IS THE MAIN EVENT OF THE EVENING AND IT IS FOR THE EAW WORLDDDDDD CHAMPIONSHIPPPPPP!!!!
(NOW Arena is electric and goes crazy as Bella Braxton once more begins to speak.)
Bella Braxton: THIS MATCH WILL ALSO BE CONTESTED AS A CHAINSAWWWWW DEATHMATCHHHHHH!!!!
(NOW Arena cheers loudly as the shot fades to the Voltage commentary team.)
James Peters: OH, BOY! I’m ready for this one! Justin Windate challenges Drake King for the EAW World Championship in a Chainsaw Deathmatch! Drake wasn’t happy with the stipulation, but could this rivalry really have ended any other way?! The disdain these two men seem to hold for one another is incredibly deep and blood will be spilled tonight! They’ll live up to the event’s namesake and more, I’m sure!
Rich Russillo: No doubt about that, these two men have made this very personal and for Justin Windgate, it’s about achieving the dream he’s always had and finally jumping through that one hoop that has seemingly eluded him in his returning run in EAW. The one crown jewel spot in this company, to be the standbeared and be the face of all it represents. He’s fighting for history tonight.
Rich Russillo: For Drake King? It’s the opposite, yet the same in the sense that Drake is thinking beyond the match and title itself. Drake knows that a win here once more secures New Eden’s place in EAW as the most influential, impactul, shot-calling group and possibly most dominant trio this company has ever seen. If they stay on top, EAW stays under their rule of law and their ideologies are what EAW then represents.
Rich Russillo: But either way, they’re both fighting for something more than just the title. This is legacy, history and power. This is where legends are born. This is everything.
Persephone: This is the corny boy-hood hard work dream shit against a crazy White guy with long hair and made up religions. Hopefully this is violent and quick!
James Peters: This match will shape the future of EAW as we know it and either result has a massive impact on the landscape of this brand. I couldn’t be more excited for two of the best out there to share the ring in the most violent fashion possible. We’re in for a treat, ladies and gentleman. A very violent one.
(‘High All The Time’ by 50 Cent bounces throughout the speakers as the NOW arena explodes for the challenger. Justin Windgate, head to toe dressed in a sparkly white vest, tights and boots, makes his way onto the stage. He’s overwhelmed by the bright reaction and waves to the crowd. Justin Windgate walks over to EAW staff on the side of the stage and is handed an expensive bong. He takes a big hit from the bong, blows the smoke down the ramp and eagerly makes his way down to the ring.)
Bella Braxton: INTRODUCING FIRST, WRESTLING OUT OF DETROIT, MICHIGANNNNNNNNNN!!! WEIGHHING IN AT 225 POOOUUNNDSSS, HE IS THE CHALLENGERRRR, JUSSTINNNMNNNNNNN ‘THE EXTREEEEMMMMEEEE CLASSICCCCC’ WINDGATTTTTTTTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
(NOW arena explodes for Justin Windgate as he waves to them and walks purposefully down the ramp.)
Rich Russillo: He said it himself earlier this week, this is a 12 year dream come to life. He’s worked endlessly for this moment and it won’t be ripped away from him. Justin Windgate is coming into this match as the best he’s ever been and by a lot, he’s trained and prepared for this one sole moment and match. Fit the glove for this one opponent and has readied himself for a dark stipulation tonight. He knows if he can claim the EAW World title, everything will have been worth it. He’s achieved what nobody said he would and he always believed he would.
James Peters: Absolutely and he has all the skills to do it, apart from maybe getting high before the match apparently, Justin is the perfect bundle of athleticism, technical wrestling and hard-hitting offense. He’s as durable as they come and doesn;t go out until the kitchen sink has been shattered over his skull and then rebuilt again, just so it can be broken over his head one more time. He stays alive and he perseveres and tonight, he’s going to have to. Not only against the champion, but against the pressure of the moment. He’s gotta be feeling the heat from this crowd and the butterflies in his stomach. He’s worked his life for this moment, he won’t let it escape him.
Rich Russillo: You hit it spot on, he just knows that he can’;t let it escape his grasp. He’ll stay in this until his heart gives out, he just won’t quit on this dream. And he believes his will to overcome is stronger than Drakes and that Drake won’t stop his ability to persevere and come back stronger. But there’s perseverance and then there’s chainsaw deathmatches, in this match, there truly may be no coming back…
(The people cheer as he rolls into the ring and stands on the second rope, posing for the crowd and absorbing their energy. He drops to the canvas, removes his vest and throws it to the outside, he’s ready for the match.)
(‘Cold War’ by Hans Zimmer begins to play as the world’s focus shifts to the entrance ramp and this arena boos the arrival of the champion. Drake King, dressed entirely in a red and black attire, puffy red leather jacket with a fur lining. Dragging the title on the stage floor, Drake King with no expression, walks onto the stage and gazes out to the crowd.)
Bella Braxton: AND HIS OPPONENT, WEIGHING IN AT 220 POOOUNDDSSSS!!!! WRESTLING OUT OF THE DEAD SEA, ISRAAAAELLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!! HE IS THE EAW WORLD CHAMPIONNNNNNNNNNNN, DRAKKKKEEEEEEEEEE ‘THE REDEEEEEMMMMEEEERRRRRRRRRR’!!!!!
(Crowd loudly boos and chants against Drake as he drops the title on the stage and holds his arms out wide. He absorbs all the boos and expressionlessly looks down the ramp into the ring. He picks the title up and drags it down the ramp.)
Rich Russillo: The champ, ladies and gents! The champ! Listen, Drake King doesn’t need to have some childhood dream of being champion to make his reign the stuff of legend. Everything this man does is the stuff of legend and right now, he’s going out ther to establish New Eden’s role as the top faction in EAW and the ones who will shape EAW’s future in their own image. This is bigger than the belt to him, clearly, he couldn’t care less about a gold paperweight, it’s the platform it provides that Drake looks to once more claim.
Persephone: He could just be a liar? He’s feeling all bloated and special because he ended Malcolm Jones’ shortlived career in EAW, something not so great to feel special about. He wants to come off as being someone deeper than he is, but he’s doing it for the same reason Justin is, they’re two puppy dogs and they wanna know who the weaker chihuahua is.
James Peters: I don’t think that’s right..and to doubt Drake’s motives after he’s been so stauntly fighting for them for months now is just foolish to me. They may be insane and outlandish, but he’s clearly got the skills to bring them to fruition and shape EAW in his vision. Glean his insights on this entire company and right now, he’s sitting on the throne and nobody has touched him yet. For Justin WIndgate to take his title tonight, that would be tremendous, but you know Drake won’t give this up without a brutal and long-lasting fight, even then, Drake has no quit in him. No matter how you feel about him, he’s got an iron-will.
Rich Russillo: Absolutely and he’ll need it all tonight. They both will. This one is for all the marbles and this one will decide who leads EAW into the future of the new world. This is it.
(The two men stand face to face as Drake throws the title to the referee. They stand nose to nose and are separated by the referee. They ready themselves and the timekeeper rings the bell, indicating the start of the match.)
DING! DING! DING!
Rich Russillo: And your main event is underway! Drake King and Justin Windgate for the EAW World Championship in a Chainsaw Deathmatch!!
James Peters: Justin Windgate immediately takes the center, trying to beat Drake King to the punch, Drake is able to roll under the bottom rope and out to the floor. Drake is smiling at Justin, cracking his neck and walking around the outside, but Justin wants a fight! He slides under the bottom rope and out towards Drake, Justin Windgate will offer the champion no quarter!
Rich Russillo: He’s running after Drake King now, sliding into the ring after him and Drake goes for a lariat on Justin! Justin Windgate ducks under the clothesline attempt and grabs onto Drake King, Windgate looking to counter with a hip toss! Drake rolls through and takes Justin to the canvas with him, the two men get up and Drake meets him with a stiff clothesline this time around! That one dropped Justin to the canvas and the champion stares down at the challenger with malicious intent! He’s asserting his dominance right here!
Persephone: Pause. :dababy:
Rich Russillo: You know what I mean! He’s showing him who the boss is!
James Peters:…Anyway. Justin pops back up to his feet and drops a nasty right hook on the chin of Drake King! That one put him on wobbly legs, Justin pushes Drake against the ropes and looks for a spinning back kick to the gut of Drake King! Drake side steps him and catches the leg of Justin Windgate, delivering a sharp elbow to the side of Justin’s knee! Drake now with another vicious elbow to the side of Justin’s leg, he’s tearing at that knee!
Rich Russillo: Smart strategy from the champion, weaken the challenger’s base and take him out later! That’s why he’s the champ! He’s smarter than everyone else! Justin rips his leg away and jabs Drake King’s nose! A quick jab from Justin, who clutches at his knee and then stomps his foot to the canvas, he says he’s all good! Now Drake and Justin meet in the center of the ring and are face to face! These two have been spitting venom all week long and this rivalry has become personal!
James Peters: It’s a chainsaw deathmatch, I don’t know how it could be any other way! They are nose to nose and snarling at one another! Justin Windgate is forehead to forehead with Drake King and Drake grabs him by the chin and shoves him back! Drake leaps forward with a jumping knee strike that Justin avoids, narrowly evading the Drake King attack! Justin has a hold of Drake and he sits him down on the canvas with a snapmare! Windgate has the champion down and now he’s running off the ropes, Justin Windgate launches himself towards the champion with a sliding knee!!
Rich Russillo: NO! Drake King rolls out of the way and takes the back of the challenger, both coming off the ropes- Wait! Justin holds on and Drake loses his grip, tumbling back into the canvas and quickly getting to his feet! Here comes Justin again, running towards Drake! Drake King places a hard boot into the midsection of Justin, stopping him dead in his tracks! Now perhaps looking for a suplex! He’s got him in the air! Drake suspending Justin for a vertical suplex- Justin able to drop a knee onto the head of Drake and get back to the canvas! But Drake with a knee of his own to the stomach of Justin, now suspending him again! THIS TIME HE TURNS IT INTO A FALCON ARROW! DROPPING WIN DGATE TO THE CANVAS, HARD!
James Peters: WOW! What a transition from Drake, who now gets to his feet and stares stoically into the camera! He’s doing this for more than himself, he’s come prepared for New Eden!
Rich Russillo: For the good of EAW!
Persephone: He’s the champion and using two other successful elitists to cozy up against so he doesn’t have to worry about more competition, he’s a fraud if I’ve ever seen one.
James Peters: Justin Windgate now using the ropes to get to the turnbuckles, but Drake isn’t letting up! He’s relentless! Drake pressing a forearm against the jaw of Justin Windgate, now pushing a boot against the throat of the challenger! Justin Windgate is clawing to get Drake’s boot off him, but Drake still holds the pressure on Justin! An unforgiving as ever Drake King tonight, he takes his foot off the neck of Justin and the challenger drops to a knee! Drake doesn’t need weapons to inflict pain!
Rich Russillo: Justin is still trying to catch his breath, but Drake drops a punch on the back of Windgate that puts him down to both knees! Now lining up for the superkick, another boot to the jaw of Windgate perhaps! Drake fires the superkick- But Windgate rolls out of the way and manages to get back to the turnbuckles! Drake rushes in and Windgate quickly jumps over the top rope and out to the apron! Drake King catching himself before hitting that corner too hard, Justin nails him with an enziguri! Justin Windgate with a big enzuigiri from the apron and that one sent Drake King stumbling back!
James Peters: Here goes Justin! HE’S GONNA FLY!
Persephone: I HOPE YOU FALL AND DIE!
James Peters: JUSTIN COMES OFF THE TOP ROPE AND FLATTENS DRAKE KING WITH A DIVING CROSSBODY! A CROSSBODY OFF THE TOP ROPE AND JUSTIN POPS BACK UP TO HIS FEET!
Rich Russillo: Now Justin is setting up for that grounded superkick! He fires it off- but Drake catches it and throws his leg to the ground! Now Drake is back to his feet, he kicks the leg out from under Justin and he falls back into the ropes! Drake tries to clothesline Justin over the top! NO! Justin gets to the side of Drake King and uses a side Russian leg sweep to take Drake to the ground! The champion hits the canvas hard! NOW JUSTIN GRABS DRAKE BY THE BEARD AND TELLS HIM IT’S TIME TO PAY! JUSTIN WINDGATE NOW LANDS THAT GROUNDED SUPERKICK FLUSH ON THE CHIN OF DRAKE KING! THAT ONE MIGHT’VE SENT SOME TEETH INTO THE FRONT ROW!!
James Peters: Drake King just got rocked and now he’s trying to collect himself! Justin grabs Drake by the back of the neck and sends him tumbling through the ropes! Drake King is barely able to get to his feet, he seems out of it! Justin Windgate knows that he’s got the champion on the ropes, he’s calling for an aerial assault! Justin Windgate now gets onto the apron, looking to canoe the onslaught-
Rich Russillo: Drake was playing possum! Drake was playing possum and he rips the leg out from under Justin and sends him back first into the apron! Crashing onto the apron as Drake takes out that already injured leg of Justin Windgate! Windgate grabs his leg in pain as Drake rips his knee pad off! Drake King rips the knee pad off Justin’s injured knee and delivers a punch to the face of Justin! NOW GRABBING HIS LEG AND SLAMMING THE KNEE OF THE CHALLENGER INTO THE RINGPOST!
Persephone: Serves him right for not already beating this textbook caucasian Jesus in black and red leather. Fuckimg imbecile, I swear.
James Peters: Justin’s leg just got brutally driven against that ring post and now Drake yanks him off as he hits the floor with a thud! Drake King just slung the challenger to the floor without hesitation, he came ready to make good on the name of this event! Drake grabs Justin and tries to lift him up into powerbomb position! They’re on the outside, this is dangerousssss!!! DRAKE KING WITH JUSTIN WINDGATE UP HIGH, RUNNING ACROSS THE OUTSIDE OF THE RING AND THROWING JUSTIN-
Rich Russillo: BOOM! JUSTIN WINDGATE TURNS IT AROUND INTO A HURRICANRANA! HE THROWS DRAKE INTO THE BARRICADE AND THE CHAMPION SLAMS INTO IT WITH FORCE! Falling against the apron goes Justin Windgate, what a counter as he tries to collect himself! OH BOY, JUSTIN IS UP AND WANTS TO ATTACK!! HE CHARGES TOWARDS DRAKE WITH A SLIDING KNEE STRIKE AND THE TWO MEN SEND THE BARRICADE CRASHING DOWN AS JUSTIN WINDGATE SENDS THE KNEE BARRELING INTO THE FACE OF DRAKE KING!
Persephone: THEY COULD’VE INJURED ANYBODY SITTING IN THAT FRONT ROW!? I MEAN, I STILL WOULD’VE LAUGHED BECAUSE THESE BASEMENT DWELLING NERDS FINALLY GOT A WAKEUP CALL TO DO SOMETHING WITH THEIR MISERABLE LIVES!!
James Peters: Justin Windgate sends that apron crumbling down like a house of cards and Drake King is buried beneath it all! Justin Windgate stumbles around ringside, he’s in front of us now and..oh no..OH BOY!!
James Peters: He’s under the apron and he’s looking for a weapon! He wants to punish Drake for the things he’s said and make him hurt! OH LORD! JUSTIN WINDGATE PULLS A BASEBALL BAT OUT FROM UNDER THE APRON AND HE’S EYEING DRAKE KING! HE’S EYEING HIS SKULL, ACTUALLY! JUSTIN WINDGATE MAKING HIS WAY ACROSS THE RINGSIDE AREA, HERE HE GOES WITH A DAMN BASEBALL BAT-
Rich Russillo: DRAKE GRABS A PIECE OF THAT STEEL BARRICADE AND SHIELDS HIMSELF FROM THE BLOW! JUSTIN WINDGATE SLAMMED THAT BAT DOWN AND DRAKE BLOCKED IT WITH THAT BARRICADE! NOW SHOVING IT INTO JUSTIN WINDGATE AND TACKLING HIM TO THE FLOOR! HE DROPS THE BAT AND DRAKE GRABS A HOLD OF IT! DRAKE KING WITH THE BAT, OH NO! HE GETS TO HIS FEET AND SMASHES THE BAT DOWN ON TOP OF THE FACE OF JUSTIN-
James Peters: JUSTIN WINDGATE MOVES OUT OF THE WAY JUST BARELY! HE ALMOST HAD HIS FACE SHATTERED INTO A MILLION PIECES AT THE HAND OF THAT METAL BAT! WAIT- LOOK AT DRAKE! DRAKE DOESN’T CARE, HE’S GOT THE BAT PRESSED DOWN ON THE THROAT OF JUSTIN WINDGATE! DRAKE TRYING TO STRANGLE JUSTIN AS HE’S STRUGGLING ON THE FLOOR!
Rich Russillo: OH NO! WHAT THE HELL IS DRAKE DOING?!
Persephone: HIT THAT FUCKING BITCH IN HIS UGLY ASS TEETH!
Rich Russillo: DRAKE HAS THE BAT LAID OUT OVER JUSTIN’S NECK, DRAKE, STOP! OH NO, DRAKE!!!
James Peters: STOMP!!!! DRAKE KING JUST STOMPED BOTH FEET AT THE ENDS OF THE BAT AND CRUSH THE NECK OF JUSTIN WINDGATE! HE CRUSHED THE NECK AND THROAT OF JUSTIN WITH THAT BAT AS THE CHALLENGER IS ROLLING AROUND AND COUGHING VIOLENTLY, THROWING UP BLOOD AT RINGSIDE AND TRYING TO BREATHE! OH MY GOD!!
Rich Russillo: DRAKE NOW STORMS BY RINGSIDE AND SWINGS THE BAT AGAINST THE KNEE OF JUSTIN WINDGATE! NO! JUSTIN CRAWLED OUT OF THE WAY AND SCRAMBLED AWAY FROM DRAKE, THE CHAMPION NOW WALKS TOWARDS HIM AGAIN AND CRACKS THE BAT AGAINST THE RING POST AS WINDGATE JUST BARELY JUMPS OUT OF THE WAY! THAT ONE HURT DRAKE’S HANDS AS HE’S FORCED TO DROP THE BAT!
James Peters: Thank God, Windgate finally with some seconds to breathe, but Drake King is snarling at him, he doesn’t intend on offering Justin any – BANG! SUPERKICK FROM JUSTIN! AND JUST LIKE THAT, DRAKE IS DOING THE CHICKEN DANCE! HE’S ON WOBBLY LEGS, DOESN’T KNOW WHERE HE’S AT AND JUSTIN WINDGATE GRABS A CHAIR FROM RINGSIDE, OH BOY!!! BOOM!!!! HE SMACKS THAT STEEL CHAIR ACROSS THE FACE OF THE CHAMPION AND DRAKE HITS THE FLOOR IN A HEAP!!!
Rich Russillo: JUSTIN WINDGATE IS SCREAMING AT DRAKE “THAT’S PAYBACK”!!! THIS HAS BECOME EXTREMELY PERSONAL AND JUSTIN WINDGATE WILL GO TO ANY LENGTH TO MAKE DRAKE SUFFER FOR HIS ATTACKS! JUSTIN WANTS TO TAKE OUT NEW EDEN RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW!
Persephone: DO IT AND LOSE THE TITLE TO REX, NONE OF YOU ARE FIT TO LEAD THIS COMPANY!
Rich Russillo: Justin rolls Drake back in the ring and goes under the apron again, he wants to use everything he can to punish Drake this time around! OH BOY, YOU KNOW WHAT HE HAS! JUSTIN WINDGATE PULLS OUT THE CHAINSAW AND BEGINS TO START IT! DRAKE HEARS THE SOUND AND TRIES TO SCRAMBLE TO HIS FEET! JUSTIN GETS INTO THE RING AND RUNS TOWARDS DRAKE WITH THE CHAINSAW!-
Rich Russillo: DRAKE ROLLS OUT OF THE RING AND SAYS LET’S TAKE THIS OUT HERE! HA! BRILLIANT TACTICS FROM DRAKE! THESE PEOPLE BOOING JUST WANT TO SEE SENSELESS VIOLENCE, BUT OUR CHAMPION IS WRESTLING SMART, WRESTLING LIKE A CHAMPION!
James Peters: Justin Windgate invites Drake back into the ring and Drake is having no part of it! Drake throws the chair into the ring and tries to hit Windgate, but she shakes it off and tells Drake “LET’S GO!”! Drake won’t do it and JUSTIN STORMS OUT OF THE RING! HE TURNED THE CHAINSAW OFF AND IS RUNNING AFTER DRAKE! THE TWO ROLL BACK INTO THE RING AND JUSTIN REVS UP THE SAW AGAIN! JUSTIN RAISES IT IN THE AIR AND- WAIT!!!
Rich Russillo: DRAKE HAS THE CHAIR NOW, HE HOLDS IT UP AND JUSTIN WINDGATE BRINGS THE SAW DOWN ONTO IT! JUSTIN IS CUTTING THROUGH THAT CHAIR, BUT THE SPARKS AND SHARDS BLOW BACK INTO HIS EYES! HE CAN’T SEE! HE STUMBLES AROUND AND DROPS THE CHAINSAW OVER THE TOP ROPE! DRAKE NOW SEPARATES THE CHAIR FULLY IN-HALF AND SLICES AT THE FACE OF JUSTIN WINDGATE WITH THE JAGGED EDGES!!!
James Peters: DRAKE KING IS SLICING AT JUSTIN’S FACE AND HIS ARMS AS WINDGATE TRIES TO COVER UP! JUSTIN’S BLOOD IS NOW ALL OVER BOTH OF THEM AND DRAKE THROWS THE DEBRIS TO THE SIDE, UNLOADING WITH PUNCHES ON THE BLEEDING AND BATTERED WINDGATE! DRAKE PICKS HIM UP AND STARTS SCREAMING IN HIS FACE! DRAKE KING OFF THE ROPES, HE’S LOOKING TO ATTACK- BANG! SPINNING BACKFIST FROM JUSTIN WINDGATE, THAT ONE PUT DRAKE KING ON THE CANVAS! HOW?!? WHAT A COUNTER!!
Rich Russillo: YOU’RE TELLING ME! JUSTIN’S BLOOD SPLATTERED EVERYWHERE, BUT HE STILL MANAGED TO FIRE BACK WITH THAT DEVASTATING BACKFIST! Drake King just barely and painfully stumbles into the middle rope, but Justin grabs him by the hair now! He goes for another big hook- BUT DRAKE DODGED THAT ONE AND DROPPED JUSTIN WITH A NECKBREAKER! THAT ONE RATTLED HIS SPINE! NOW DRAKE SCOOPING HIM UP, OH BOY, HE’S IN POWERBOMB POSITION! DRAKE IS GONNA RUN ACROSS THE RING FOR A BUCKLE BOMB!
James Peters: HERE GOES DRAKE! THE CHAMPION AGAIN TARGETING THE NECK WITH A BUCKLE- NO! JUSTIN WITH ANOTHER HURRICANRANA THAT SENDS DRAKE KING- WAIT AGAIN!!!!! DRAKE KING HAD THE COUNTER SCOUTED THIS TIME, HE POWERS THROUGH AND DOESN’T LET WINDGATE CONNECT WITH THE HURRICANRANA! DRAKE POWERS HIM BACK UP, DEADLIFTING THE CHALLENGER, WHAT STRENGTH FROM THE CHAMPION! DRAKE LIFTING HIM RIGHT BACK INTO POWERBOMB POSITION!
Rich Russillo: JUSTIN WINDGATE ESCAPES OUT THE BACKDOOR AND TURNS THIS INTO A SUNSET-FLIP BOMB!!! WHAT A COUNTER, HE BOUNCED DRAKE’S HEAD OFF THE CANVAS! NOW HE ROLLS TO THE SIDE AND PICKS DRAKE UP AGAIN, LIFTING
HIS NECK FOR A DDT! AND HE GETS IT! DROPPING THE CHAMPION HEAD FIRST INTO THE MAT WITH A SKULL-ECHOING DDT THAT HAS DRAKE DOWN AND OUT! HERE GOES JUSTIN WINDGATE WITH THE PIN, TRYING TO PUT THE CHAMPION AWAY!
OOOONNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE-
James Peters: KICKOUT! STRONG KICKOUT RIGHT AT ONE! DRAKE CAME TO WIN TONIGHT, IT’S GONNA TAKE SO MUCH MORE TO EVEN GET CLOSE TO PUTTING HIM AWAY!
Persephone: High motherfucker thought he was going to win the world title off a ddt…Dumbass.
Rich Russillo: These two are so evenly matched, two of EAW’s most decorated tenures and we’re seeing now just why, these are two of, if not the two best wrestlers on the planet right now!
James Peters: Drake is still reeling from that DDT, but Justin is back outside the ring again, he goes under the apron and is looking for more weapons! OH BOY, HERE COME THE-
Persephone: REX MCALLISTER!?
James Peters: NO, THE TABLES! Justin Windgate is setting that table up- Wait, he just laid one of the tables on the apron?! And he’s laying the other side on the barricade, he’s got that table draped across ringside and you can imagine he envisions planting Drake’s spine through it!
Rich Russillo: Now what is he looking for?! Justin Windgate is searching under the- Is that a bag?! What the hell is in there? OH BOY, BRING OUT THE GLASS! JUSTIN WINDGATE JUST DUMPED GLASS SHARDS ALL OVER THAT TABLE, THOUSANDS OF SPLINTERING SHARP GLASS SHARDS! BOY, WE KNOW IT WAS PERSONAL, BUT THESE TWO MEN WILL STOP AT NOTHING TO BRING ONE ANOTHER THE MOST EXCRUCIATING PAIN POSSIBLE!
James Peters: Justin now rolling into the ring, but Drake meets him with a quick enzuigiri! A boot that snaps off the back of Justin’s head, that one dropped Justin to the mat! NOW DRAKE TRIES TO STOMP ON JUSTIN WINDGATE’S ELBOW, LOOKING TO BREAK THE ARM IN HALF! NO! JUSTIN WINDGATE ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY AND GETS BACK UP! BUT DRAKE MEETS HIM WITH A SUPERKICK ON HIS WAY UP! JUSTIN FALLS ONTO THE CHEST OF DRAKE, WHO WITH NO HESITATION, LIFTS HIM IN THE AIR AND DROPS HIM WITH A NASTY BRAINBUSTER-
Rich Russillo: JUSTIN ESCAPES OUT THE BACK AND DROPS THE CHAMPION WITH AN INVERTED FACEBUSTER! SLAMMING DRAKE’S NECK DOWN AS GRABS THE BACK OF HIS HEAD, WHAT A BRILLIANT MANEUVER FROM THE CHALLENGER! NOW LIFTING DRAKE UP ONTO HIS SHOULDERS, OH NO, HE’S EYEING THAT TABLE WITH THE GLASS SHARDS ALL OVER IT! JUSTIN WINDGATE WITH DRAKE ON HIS SHOULDERS, RUNNING TOWARDS THE ROPES!
James Peters: DRAKE ABLE TO GRAB ONTO THE TOP ROPE, FIGHTING OFF WINDGATE AS HE DELIVERS A NASTY ELBOW TO THE TEMPLE OF THE CHALLENGER! Drake is able to get out to the apron, Justin is trying to recover and he sees Drake on the apron, HERE GOES WINDGATE! SUPERKICK TO DRAKE KING! NO! DRAKE STILL DIDN’T DROP, HE’S TEETERING, BUT HE DIDN’T FALL! DRAKE STILL HANGING ONTO THAT TOP ROPE, FEET AWAY FROM THAT TABLE!
Rich Russillo: NOW A JAB, DRAKE IS ON WOBBLY LEGS BUT HE REFUSES TO FALL-
James Peters: IT DOESN’T MATTER, JUSTIN WINDGATE NOW ROARING OFF THE ROPES AND HE SPEARS DRAKE KING IN HALF, THROUGH THE TABLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! GLASS EVERYWHERE AND THESE TWO MEN ARE CUT AND BLEEDING ALL OVER THE FLOOR, JUSTIN WINDGATE DRAGS DRAKE STRAIGHT TO HELL WITH HIM! JUSTIN WINDGATE RISKING IT ALL HERE TONIGHT!
Rich Russillo: HE’S CUT AND HE’S BLEEDING, HE’S BEATEN AND BATTERED, BUT HE’S NOT DONE YET! HE ROLLS DRAKE BACK IN THE RING AND QUICKLY SNATCHES SOMETHING FROM UNDER THE RING, WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!? WAIT, IT’S A GLASS BONG! A GLASS BONG AND HE’S ABOUT TO SMOKE THAT DRAKE KING PACK! THAT NEW EDEN PACK!
James Peters: JUSTIN DROPS THE BONG ON THE MAT AND GRABS A HOLD OF THE CHAMPION! HE LIFTS DRAKE KING INTO THE AIR, SUPLEX POSITION! HE’S GONNA SUPLEX DRAKE ONTO THAT GLASS BONG, AS IF DRAKE DOESN’T ALREADY HAVE ENOUGH GLASS SHARDS STILL CUTTING HIS SKIN-
Rich Russillo: DRAKE WITH A KNEE TO THE SKULL AND HE DROPS BACK TO THE CANVAS, NARROWLY AVOIDING THAT SUPLEX, BUT HE NAILS JUSTIN WITH A QUICK FOREARM TO THE CHIN! NOW JUSTIN FIRES BACK WITH A TYSON-LIKE PUNCH! NO! DRAKE KING AVOIDS IT AND TAKES THE BACK OF JUSTIN WINDGATE, WAIT, HE’S GOT THE WRIST TOO! HE SPINS THE CHALLENGER OUT AND JUMPS AT HIM WITH A RIPCORD KNEE STRIKE! THAT ONE CRUMBLED JUSTIN TO HIS KNEES!
James Peters: NOW DRAKE SCOOPS WINDGATE UP, OH GOD, HERE IT COMES! DRAKE KING WITH A BRAINBUSTER THAT DROPS JUSTIN WINDGATE HEAD FIRST INTO THAT GLASS BONG AND IT SHATTERS UNDER THE IMPACT OF WINDGATE’S SKULL! HIS HEAD IS LEAKING BLOOD ALL OVER THE CANVAS!!
Rich Russillo: JESUS LORD, DRAKE KING IS VICIOUS! WAIT, LOO-LOOK AT HIM! DRAKE KING IS ICE COLD, HE’S STARING STOICALLY AT WINDGATE’S BLEEDING SCALP AND HAS NOTHING BEHIND THOSE EYES BUT DISDAIN! THIS MAN ISN’T THINKING ABOUT REVENGE OR PAIN, HE’S THINKING ABOUT EAW! HE’S DOING EVERYTHING HE CAN TO IMPLORE HIS VISION OF THE FUTURE INTO REALITY, NOBODY WILL STOP HIM!
(Crowd cheers for the violence and then boos as Drake King looks out to them.)
James Peters: Man, look at this. Those motives might be different, but he’s a vicious and cruel bastard all the same. He’s wiping the blood out of Justin’s eyes and violently shaking his head as he yells at the challenger! Blood all over both men as they bear the scars of this already excruciating contest, but Drake is now making Windgate feel the mental pain! He wants him to know that EAW is New Eden’s and nobody else’s!
Persephone: I mean, it’s kinda DEDEDE’s and the whole head production staff too, but hey, whatever floats this dumb fuck’s boat!
Rich Russillo: Wait, oh boy, Drake King now going to ringside, he’s gonna introduce his own tools of destruction! As if Windgate hasn’t been put through enough! Drake searching violently for something, whatever it is, it’s gotta be- OH NO, HE’S GOT THE CHAINSAW! HE SLIDES IT INTO THE RING AND THEN-
James Peters: What the hell?! Why is he still looking for something? He just slid that chainsaw in the ring, surely he doesn’t need another one!? Wait…What is…he has something in his hands…it’s..it’s…it’s a book?!
Rich Russillo: IT’S THE BOOK! THE BOOK OF DRISTIANITY! I DIDN’T THINK WE’D EVER SEE AN ACTUAL BOOK, BUT HE’S GOT ONE IN HIS HANDS AND OH BOY, HE’S ABOUT TO READ ALOUD THE NEW EDEN PROVERBS FOR JUSTIN WINDGATE!
James Peters: Wait…WHAT THE HELL IS HE DOING?! HE’S TAKING THE CHAIN OFF THAT CHAINSAW AND NOW WRAPPING IT AROUND THE NECK OF WINDGATE! HE’S CHOKING THE LIFE OUT OF HIM AND YANKING THAT CHAIN BACK AS HE HOLDS THE BOOK OUT IN FRONT OF JUSTIN, OH MY GOD, THIS IS CRUEL!
Rich Russillo: DRAKE KING IS READING THE BOOK OF DRISTIANITY TO JUSTIN WINDGATE AS HE HAS KNEE PLANTED FIRMLY IN THE CHALLENGER’S SPINE AND IS CHOKING HIM OUT WITH THAT CHAINSAW CHAIN WITH THE OTHER HAND! THIS MAN IS MERCILESS!! DRAKE KING IS TRYING TO KILL JUSTIN WINDGATE FOR EVER DOUBTING NEW EDEN! FOR EVER TRYING TO STAND IN THEIR WAY AND EVER TRYING TO DISRUPT THE VISION!
Drake King: NEW EDEN 1:4: WHEN YOUR CAREER IS DEAD AND GONE, NEW EDEN WILL STILL BE HERE! WE WILL ALWAYS BE HERE AND WE WILL ALWAYS BE EAW!
James Peters: HE SLAPS JUSTIN IN THE FACE WITH THE BOOK OF DRISTIANITY AND NOW THROWS IT TO THE SIDE, HE GRABS THAT CHAIN AND WRAPS IT AROUND JUSTIN’S MOUTH, OH GOD, DRAKE STOP! DRAKE, STOP! THE CHAMPION IS RIPPING APART THE FACE OF WINDGATE AS HE RIPS AT THE MOUTH WITH THE CHAINSAW CHAIN, GOOD GOD, SOMEONE STOP THIS! JUSTIN HAS TOO MUCH PRIDE TO TAP OUT, BUT HE MIGHT HAVE TO RIGHT NOW! HE DOES HAVE TO-
Rich Russillo: HOLY SHIT! HE JUST GRABBED ONE OF THOSE GLASS SHARDS AND STABBED IT BACKWARDS INTO THE EYE OF DRAKE KING! A BIG GLASS SHARD JUST GOT SHOVED INTO DRAKE’S EYE AND HE’S FORCED TO DROP THE CHAIN! HE’S FORCED TO LET IT GO AND ROLLS AROUND VIOLENTLY!! HIS EYE IS COMPLETELY BLOODSHOT AND HE’S SCREAMING AT THE TOP OF HIS LUNGS!
Drake King: HOLY FRACKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHH OWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!
James Peters: OH MY GOD, JUSTIN WINDGATE IS BACK UP AND GE JUST GRABBED THAT CHAIN, OH NO-
Rich Russillo: CRACK!!!!!! HE SMACKS THAT CHAIN OVER DRAKE’S BACK AND IT SLAPS OFF HIS SKIN! IT MIGHT’VE BRUISED HIS DAMN ORGANS WITH THE POWER IT WAS JUST SWUNG WITH! NOW ANOTHER HIT, THAT ONE AGAIN TO DRAKE’S BACK! NOW JUSTIN WINDGATE STARTS HITTING DRAKE IN THE LEGS AND TORSO WITH IT, JUST TRYING TO MAKE HIM PAY AND BAD!!!
James Peters: HE’S ROLLING AROUND TRYING TO GET OUT OF HARM’S WAY! HE SCRAMBLES UP TO HIS FEET IN THE CORNER AND JUSTIN SWINGS THE CHAIN AT DRAKE’S FACE- BUT DRAKE EVADES IT AS HE DUCKS AND JUSTIN MISSES! NOW DRAKE STOMPS ON THE KNEE OF JUSTIN! OH MY GOD, REMEMBER THAT BAD KNEE! DRAKE HAD BEEN PICKING IT APART ALL NIGHT, IT COMES BACK TO HURT JUSTIN AGAIN NOW! HE BUCKLES AS DRAKE RIPS THE CHAIN AWAY FROM HIM AND CLIMBS TO THE SECOND ROPE! WHAT IN THE WORLD-
Rich Russillo: DRAKE WRAPS THE CHAIN AROUND THE NECK OF JUSTIN AND HE LAUNCHES HIMSELF WITH A BLOCKBUSTER FROM THE SECOND ROPE!!! HE SLAMS JUSTIN TO THE MAT WITH THAT CHAIN AROUND HIS THROAT! DRAKE KING CONTINUES TO TAKE THE PUNISHMENT TO A DIFFERENT LEVEL!
Persephone: I wish he’d take his weird ass mideveal dress code to a different level, dude looks like he’s coming out to reneact dungeons and dragons or some stupid shit. How he hasn’t already finished this weed smoking bum, I don’t know, but hopefully he uses this chainsaw and buzzes my head off because I can’t fucking stand these two.
James Peters: I don’t know about all that, but he is putting the chainsaw back on the chain- wait, Justin is grabbing onto the book of Dristianity! He’s grabbing onto anything at this point, but Drake drops the chain to the canvas before he can put it back on and rips the book from Justin’s hands! Drake grabs Justin and drags him to his feet- Justin with a jawbreaker! Windgate shocks Drake King with that jawbreaker and now Justin Windgate is trying to mount a counter attack!
Rich Russillo: He fires off with a calf-kick and Drake grabs his leg! Drake now kicks Justin’s leg and the challenger drops to his knee with a big yell! DRAKE LIFTS HIM UP, POSSIBLY LOOKING FOR ANOTHER FALCON ARROW! HERE HE GOES! NO, WAIT! JUSTIN ESCAPES OUT THE BACK DOOR AND GETS BACK TO HIS FEET! DRAKE TURNS AROUND AND JUSTIN GRABS HIM- OH BOY! HE’S LOOKING FOR THAT ‘RUN IT UP’ SLICED BREAD! HERE IT COMES!
James Peters: JUSTIN RUNS OFF THE TURNBUCKLES AND ATTEMPTS THE ‘RUN IT UP’!!!! NO!!! DRAKE KING SUSPENDS HIM IN MIDAIR AND DROPS HIM WITH AN INVERTED FALCON ARROW! MY GOD, AN INVERTED FALCON ARROW, WHEN DO WE EVER SEE SOMETHING LIKE THAT?!? DRAKE KING DROPS WINDGATE TO THE CANVAS AND HEADS TO THE OUTSIDE! HE’S ASCENDING THE TURNBUCKLES, HE WANTS TO FLY! DRAKE KING ON THE TOP ROPE, LOOKING FOR A FROGSPLASH-
Rich Russillo: JUSTIN WINDGATE SPRINGS UP THERE AFTER HIM, JUSTIN WINDGATE GRABS DRAKE AND BRINGS HIM CRASHING DOWN ONTO THE APRON WITH A SLINGSHOT DDT, THE ‘DTX’!!!!! HE SMASHED DRAKE’S HEAD TO THE APRON AND DRAKE KING IS COMPLETELY OUT OF IT! DRAKE IS LIFELESSLY DRAPED ON THE APRON AS JUSTIN WINDGATE STUMBLES AROUND, TRYING TO GET HIM BACK IN THE RING!
James Peters: JUSTIN HAS THE CHAMP DOWN AND OUT, THIS IS HIS CHANCE TO FINISH IT! HIS CHANCE TO BECOME THE WORLD CHAMPION AND ACHIEVE HIS GREATEST GOAL, THE WRITING IS ON THE WALL FOR WINDGATE NOW! HE ROLLS DRAKE BACK IN THE RING AND NOW HE PICKS UP THAT CHAINSAW! JUSTIN WITH THE CHAINSAW AND DRAKE IS EVER SO SLIGHTLY STIRRING- WAIT!
Rich Russillo: THE CHAIN! DRAKE DIDN’T PUT THE CHAIN BACK ON THE SAW AND JUSTIN IS JUST NOW REALIZING IT! HE’S LOOKING AROUND FOR IT AND FINALLY SEES THE CHAIN, DESPERATELY FIGHTING TO GET IT ON THE CHAINSAW! THE CLOCK IS BURNING AS DRAKE KING IS BEGINNING TO STIR! JUSTIN WINDGATE IS JUST BARELY ABLE TO GET IT ON AND START UP THE CHAINSAW! HE LUNGES IT TOWARDS DRAKE-
James Peters: DRAKE DUCKS UNDER IT AND SLIDES UNDER THE BOTTOM ROPE, HE GRABS THE CHAINSAW ON THE FLOOR AND JUSTIN INVITES HIM BACK INTO THE RING! OH BOY, HERE WE FUCKING GO! DRAKE ABOUT TO START UP THAT CHAINSAW! THESE TWO BOTH HAVE CHAINSAWS AND THEY ARE ROARING, READY TO CUT EACH OTHER DOWN! OH MY!!!!!
(Crowd gets to their feet and collectively holds their breath.)
Rich Russillo: DRAKE HURLS HIS CHAINSAW AT JUSTIN WINDGATE AND IT CATCHES HIM ON THE ARM AS HE TRIED TO AVOID IT! A BIG GASH OPENED ON JUSTIN’S ARM AND DRAKE KING FIRES A BICYCLE KICK BEFORE JUSTIN WINDGATE CAN RECOVER! DRAKE KNOCKS THE SCREWS LOOSE FROM JUSTIN’S HEAD WITH THAT KICK AS HE’S FORCED TO DROP THE SAW! DRAKE NOW TAKES HIS BACK AND LOOKS FOR A NECKBREAKER! NO, JUSTIN WINDGATE TURNS THIS AROUND AND PICKS DRAKE UP! OH NO, JUSTIN, DON’T!!!!! HE’S GOT HIS EYES ON THAT CHAINSAW ON THE GROUND, JUSTINNNNN!!!!
James Peters: THE CHALLENGER SLAMS THE CHAMPION ONTO THAT GROUNDED CHAINSAW AND DRAKE KING’S BODY FOLDS OVER THAT CHAINSAW BLADE! HE CAN’T BREATHE AS HE STARTS SPITTING BLOOD ONTO THE CANVAS, THE MARKS OF WAR ALL OVER THE RING AND ALL OVER THESE TWO MEN! JUSTIN WINDGATE WITH A DEVASTATING BODY SLAM ONTO THAT CHAINSAW! NOW JUSTIN SCRAMBLES TO THE OUTSIDE, HE KNOWS HIS TIME IS NOW AND THIS IS HIS MOMENT! JUSTIN WINDGATE NOW CLIMBING TO THE TOP, LABORED BREATHS FROM JUSTIN WINDGATE AS HE NEARLY FALLS OFF THE TURNBUCKLES, BUT HE’S UP THERE-
Rich Russillo: THE CHAINSAW, JUSTIN TOOK TOO LONG AND DRAKE CRAWLED TO THE SAW! JUSTIN WINDGATE IS TEETERING ON THE TOP AND DRAKE ACTIVATES THE SAW! OH MY GOD, JUSTIN WINGATE DOESN’T KNOW WHAT TO DO, WHERE TO GO! DRAKE HAS A SADISTIC LOOK IN HIS EYE, BLOOD DRIPPING FROM HIS MOUTH AND CUTS ALL OVER HIS BODY, DRAKE HAS LOST IT AND HE, WAIT-
James Peters: DRAKE IS TAKING THE GROUND UNDER HIS FEET, HE SAWS THROUGH THE TOP ROPE WITH THE CHAINSAW AND THE ENTIRE TOP ROPE SNAPS AS IT SENDS DRAKE WHIPPING TO THE CANVAS AND JUSTIN WINDGATE CRASHES HEAD FIRST DOWN TO THE CANVAS!!!!!! JUSTIN FELL FROM THE SKIES AND HIT THE CANVAS LIFELESSLY, DRAKE IS CRAWLING TO THE BOTTOM ROPE AS THE CHAINSAW WENT TUMBLING OUT OF THE RING, OH MY GOD, WHAT DID DRAKE KING JUST DO?! THEY’RE GONNA BRING DOWN THE ENTIRE ARENA AT THIS DAMN RATE!!! DRAKE EXPLODED THAT TOP ROPE AND SENT WINDGATE BARRELING DOWN, HE’S TURNED THE TIDES AND SUDDENLY, DRAKE KING SEES THE WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY!!
Rich Russillo: HE DID WHAT HE HAD TO DO! He did exactly what was necessary!! That’s the sign of a true champion! AND NOW LOOK AT HIM, HE’S GRABBING THAT TOP ROPE AND TYING IT AROUND THE FEET OF THE CHALLENGER!? HOW CREATIVELY DANGEROUS IS OUR CHAMPION!?!
James Peters: EXTREMELY BECAUSE HE’S TYING THE OTHER SIDE TO THE RING POST ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE RING AND NOW….OH NO, HE GRABS WINDGATE AND DROPS HIM OVER THE SECOND ROPE AS JUSTIN IS SUSPENDING UPSIDE DOWN AGAINST THE ROPES! HE IS HANGING WINDGATE BY HIS FEET AND HIS HANDS ARE DANGLING ON THE FLOOR, DRAKE KING HAS HIS CHALLENGER DEFENSELESS RIGHT NOW, COME ON!! DRAKE RUNS TOWARDS THE CAMERA MAN AND RIPS HIS CAMERA AWAY FROM HIM! HE TURNS AROUND AND PUTS THE CAMERA IN THE DANGLING AND BLEEDING FACE OF JUSTIN WINDGATE! MAN, THIS IS TOO MUCH!!
Rich Russillo: DRAKE SLAMS THE CAMERA AGAINST THE UPSIDE DOWN JUSTIN WINDGATE’S SKULL AND THROWS IT TO THE FLOOR! THE THUD THAT WINDGATE’S SKULL MADE WAS DISGUSTING! NOW THE CHAMPION GOES AROUND THE RING, SEARCHING VIOLENTLY FOR…WAIT, HE’S LOOKING FOR EXACTLY WHAT THIS MATCH WAS BUILT AROUND! WHAT IT EMBODIES AND WHAT IT WAS NAMED AFTER, DRAKE WANTS TO END THE LIFE OF WINDGATE WITH THE CHAINSAW!
Rich Russillo: DRAKE HAS THE CHAINSAW AND HE ACTIVATES IT! HE’S GOT THE SAW READY TO GO AND HE APPROACHES JUSTIN WINDGATE! OH MAN, COME ON, I KNOW THAT IS THE NATURE OF THE MATCH AND THAT HE HAS TO RETAIN HIS TITLE, BUT THIS MAY BE TOO FAR! WAIT, WHAT IS HE- OH MY GOD! DRAKE IS TRYING TO GET THE HAIR OF WINDGATE CAUGHT UP IN THE CHAINSAW, HE WANTS TO SCALP WINDGATE FOR THE DEPTHS THIS RIVALRY HAS REACHED!
James Peters: DRAKE PUTS THE CHAINSAW TO JUSTIN- NO! JUSTIN USED WHATEVER STRENGTH HE HAD LEFT TO PULL HIS BODY UP AND GRAB THE SECOND ROPE BEFORE DRAKE GOT TO HIM! HE DUMPS HIS BODY INTO THE RING! HE GETS HIMSELF LOOSE FROM THE THE ROPE AROUND HIS FEET AND THEN KICKS GLASS SHARDS INSIDE THE RING TO THE OUTSIDE, INTO THE FACE OF DRAKE KING!!! WHO STUMBLES AROUND AND SLICES THE BARRICADE TO SHREDS WITH THE CHAINSAW AS HE FALLS!!! HE NEARLY BEHEADED HIMSELF WITH ALL THAT GLASS IN HIS EYE AND DRAKE’S EYE IS STILL BLOODSHOT AND PROBABLY BLIND FROM THAT EARLIER ATTACK WITH THE SHARD FROM JUSTIN!!!
Rich Russillo: JUSTIN NOW ON THE SECOND ROPE, HE SPRINGBOARDS HIMSELF TO THE OUTSIDE AND FLOORS DRAKE KING WITH A MISSILE DROPKICK! JUSTIN WINDGATE FLEW ALL THE WAY TO THE OUTSIDE WITH THAT DROPKICK AND SHOT HIS FEET THROUGH DRAKE’S CHEST LIKE A DOUBLE BARREL SHOTGUN! DRAKE KING JUST TUMBLED TO THE FLOOR AND JUSTIN IS GETTING HIM BACK UP, HE’S FEELING A SECOND WIND AND IS READY GO! HE THROWS DRAKE KING BACK IN THE RING AND SLIDES UNDER THE BOTTOM ROPE-
James Peters: BANG! ‘JUDGEMENT DAY’!!!! THAT CURB STOMP FROM DRAKE KING, ‘JUDGEMENT DAY’ JUST DECIDED WINDGATE’S FAITH, HE WAS MOVING TOO FAST AND DRAKE CAPITALIZED WITH A STIFF STOMP OF THE SKULL TO THE CANVAS! THIS HAS TO BE IT!

JUSTIN WINDGATE IS BARELY MOVING AS DRAKE IS GETTING BACK TO HIS FEET, HE KNOWS THAT IF HE’S GONNA FINISH JUSTIN, IT NEEDS TO BE NOW!
James Peters: LOOK AT DRAKE, HE’S TAKING THE TURNBUCKLE OFF AND EXPOSING THAT STEEL CONNECTOR BEHIND THE TURNBUCKLE! THIS WON’T BE GOOD-
Rich Russillo: Drake just took something out of the turnbuckle?! He just ripped it open and removed something…wait..is that a joint?! HE’S GOT A JOINT AND A LIGHTER IN HIS HANDS, WHAT IS DRAKE DOING?!
James Peters: DRAKE IS GONNA HIT IT, WHAT DO YOU THINK! HE’S CRAZY!

Rich Russillo: ARE YOU BOTH CRAZY?! DRAKE KING WOULD NEVER! NEW EDEN WOULD NEVER AND NEW EDEN’S VISION FOR EAW DOESN’T CONSIST OF DRUGS! DRAKE JUST PUT THAT JOINT IN THE MOUTH OF JUSTIN WINDGATE! HE LIGHTS IT UP AND JUSTIN WINDGATE STARTS COUGHING AS THE JOINT FALLS ONTO THE CANVAS AND DRAKE SHAKES HIS HEAD IN DISGUST! THIS POISON IS NOT SOMETHING DRAKE WOULD EVER PUT INTO HIS BRAIN!

HE SEARCHES VIOLENTLY UNDER THE RING FOR A FIRST-AID KIT AS HIS FINGER SEEMS TO BE ONLY HALF ATTACHED! THAT FINGER IS GOING TO FALL OF IF IT ISN’T TREATED! DRAKE GRABS THE FIRST-AID KIT AND MANAGES TO THRASH IT OPEN! JUSTIN WINDGATE WON’T LET HIM TAPE IT, HE WANTS TO TAKE TH-
Rich Russillo: OH MY GOD!!! DRAKE STABBED THE FOREARM OF JUSTIN WITH A HYPODERMIC NEEDLE! A HYPODERMIC NEEDLE PUT THROUGH JUSTIN’S ARM AND IT’S LITERALLY POKING OUT THE OTHER SIDE, JUSTIN IS CRYING OUT IN PAIN AS DRAKE STILL CLUTCHES AT HIS FINGER! I DON’T KNOW IF THERE WERE FLUIDS IN THAT SYRINGE OR NOT, BUT DRAKE DIDN’T CARE, HE PUT IT THROUGH THE ARM OF JUSTIN WINDGATE AND NOW GETS TO HIS FEET, A DISCUS ELBOW THAT FLATTENS WINDGATE AND SENDS HIM THUDDING AGAINST THE FLOOR! THAT NEEDLE IS STILL IN HIS ARM!
James Peters: Drake is taping that finger back together with the medical tape in that kit, wrapping it and putting mountains of tape around that mess of a finger! JUSTIN WINDGATE ON THE GROUND, HE RIPS THAT NEEDLE OUT AND YELLS OUT IN BLISTERING PAIN, MY GOD THAT MADE THIS ENTIRE ARENA CRINGE!!! JUSTIN WINDGATE IS INITIATED AND IN EXCRUCIATING PAIN, HE’S GOT A DIFFERENT KIND OF FIRE IN HIS EYES NOW!
Persephone: YEAH THAT’S CALLED A DISEASE! MOTHERFUCKER JUST GOT STUCK WITH SOME RANDOM NEEDLE!
Rich Russillo: JUSTIN WINDGATE, ABSOLUTELY RUNNING OFF THE PAIN ALONE, STORMS TOWARDS DRAKE KING WITH A BIG LARIAT! DRAKE AVOIDS IT AND SENDS JUSTIN FACE FIRST INTO THE RING POST, NOW GRABBING THE BACK OF JUSTIN’S HEAD AND SHOVING HIM FACE FIRST INTO THAT POST AGAIN! DRAKE TRIES TO IRISH WHIP JUSTIN WINDGATE INTO THE STAIRS- NO! JUSTIN TURNS THIS AROUND AND LAUNCHES DRAKE SHOULDER FIRST INTO THE STAIRS! AND IS THAT- WAIT, JUSTIN WINDGATE IS GOING THROUGH THAT FIRST-AID KIT AND HE JUST PULLED OUT A SCALPEL!
James Peters: DRAKE SEES IT, HE SCRAMBLES UP THE STEPS AND RUNS INTO THE RING! JUSTIN WINDGATE RUNS IN BEHIND HIM, BUT DRAKE NAILS HIM WITH A BIG JUMPING KNEE TO THE FACE! JUSTIN DROPS THE SCALPEL AND DRAKE KICKS IT TO THE SIDE, NOW LIFTING JUSTIN UP INTO POWERBOMB POSITION, OH MY GOD, THIS ONE MIGHT GET THROUGH!!! DRAKE RUNS ACROSS THE RING AND THROWS JUSTIN DOWN ONTO THAT EXPOSED TURNBUCKLE! THAT STEEL CONNECTOR JUST MADE ITS WAY THROUGH THE SPINE OF WINDGATE AS HE CRUMBLES TO THE CANVAS!!
Rich Russillo: Wait…what the hell is Drake King doing?!
James Peters: He’s got the scalpel in hand and he’s cutting up the ring canvas? What in…WAIT, DRAKE CUTS THE CORNER OF THE RING AND PEELS THE CANVAS BACK, CUTTING UP THE FOAM AND THROWING IT TO RINGSIDE, THE BARE WOOD OF THAT RING IS EXPOSED AND DRAKE KING WANTS TO END IT HERE! THE RING WOOD IS AS UNFORGIVING AS ANY WEAPON AND DRAKE LOOKS LIKE HE’S ABOUT TO USE IT AS HIS FINAL WEAPON! HIS FINAL PROVERB IN THIS MATCH, JUSTIN WINDGATE WILL FALL VICTIM TO NEW EDEN’S DOMINANCE!
Rich Russillo: DRAKE KING LIFTS JUSTIN BY HIS HAIR AND MAKES JUSTIN STARE AT THE BOOK OF DRISTIANITY! HE TELLS HIM THIS WAR IS FINISHED-
James Peters: JUSTIN THREW DRAKE’S HAND AWAY AND DELIVERED A PELE KICK! A PELE KICK TO THE SKULL OF DRAKE AND IT HAS HIM DOWN TO A KNEE! NOW JUSTIN CALLING FOR THE CROWD TO GET TO THEIR FEET, THE END IS NEAR!!!!! JUSTIN WINDGATE SIGNALS FOR THE ‘CLASSIC ENDING’!!! HE JUMPS TOWARDS DRAKE AND SLAMS HIM DOWN WITH- NO! DRAKE KING HELD ONTO THE TOP ROPE AND JUSTIN HITS THE BARE CANVAS BACK FIRST!! OH MY LORD!!! HIS BODY MADE AN UGLY SOUND WHEN IT SMASHED AGAINST THAT WOOD!! NOW DRAKE SEES HIS CHANCE, HE CHARGES FORWARDS WITH THE ‘JUDGEMENT DAYYYYYYYY’!!!!!
Rich Russillo: NO!!!! JUSTIN EVADES IT AND ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY, HE ROLLS DRAKE THROUGH AND GETS TO HIS FEET WITH A GROUNDED SUPERKICK TO THE CHIN OF THE CHAMPION! DRAKE CRUMBLES AS JUSTIN WINDGATE FEELS THE ENERGY! HE FEELS THE MOMENTUM AND KNOWS THIS COULD BE HIS FINAL STAND, HIS FINAL CHANCE TO WIN IT ALL!! JUSTIN WINDGATE CALLS FOR DRAKE TO GET TO HIS FEET AND HE JUMPS AT DRAKE KING WITH THE ‘CLASSIC ENDING’!!!! AND HE HIT IT!!! ON THE BARE RING, THE EXPOSED WOOD JUST MET THE BACK OF DRAKE’S HEAD WITH A THUD AND HE’S OUT!! OH MY GOD, JUSTIN WINDGATE GOES IN FOR THE PIN ON DRAKE!!!

THE WILL OF THE CHAMPION JUST SOMETHING ELSE, HE ISN’T DEFENDING A BELT, HE’S DEFENDING HIS POSITION ON TOP OF EAW AND DEFENDING HIS INFLUENCE OVER VOLTAGE!!! DEFENSIING NEW EDEN’S SPOT AT THE TOP!!!
Persephone: JUSTIN WINDGATE NEEDS TO KEEP GOING AND HE KNOWS THAT! HE CAN’T LET UP NOW! HE CAN’T STOP, HE NEEDS TO KEEP HIS FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL AND HE’S GOING TO! HE GRABS DRAKE AND LOCKS IN THE ‘NO X-SCAPE’ FOR PERHAPS THE FINAL TIME, THIS SUBMISSION IS IN DEEP AND DRAKE KING IS FIGHTING VIOLENTLY TO TRY AND GET OUT OF IT!!! HE CAN’T DO IT AND HE DOESN’T KNOW WHAT TO DO!!! HE’S DROWNING AND JUSTIN IS KEEPING HIS HEAD BELOW THE WATER!!! LOOK AT DRAKE’S HAND, HE’S GONNA TAP, HE’S SHAKING HIS HAND ABOVE THE CANVAS!!!

Persephone: HOLY SHIT!!
Rich Russillo: JUSTIN WINDGATE RIPS IT OUT AND DRIVES IT INTO DRAKE’S HAND!!! OH MY FREAKING LORD, HE JUST SHOVED THE SCALPEL INTO DRAKE’S HAND AND THE CHAMPION SCREAMS OUT IN PAIN AS BLOOD CONTINUES TO STAIN THIS ALREADY HEAVILY RED CANVAS! WINDGATE THROWS THE SCALPEL TO THE SIDE AND GRABS THE HAND OF DRAKE, THE FINGER WITH THE MEDICAL TAPE ON IT!! JUSTIN RIPS IT OFF AND WRAPS IT AROUND DRAKE’S NECK! HE’S GOT THE TAPE WRAPPED AROUND DRAKE’S NECK AND IS PULLING WITH ALL HIS MIGHT!
James Peters: HE’S GOT DRAKE’S NECK AT A RIDICULOUS ANGLE AND IS TRYING TO STRANGLE HIM TO DEATH WITH THIS TAPE! WAIT, DRAKE IS ALMOST OUT, HE MIGHT’VE PASSED OUT, HIS FACE IF PURPLE AND HE ISN’T MOVING-
Persephone: SNAP! THAT TAPE GIVES WAY AND THEY BOTH FALL TO THE CANVAS! OH MY GOD, DRAKE WAS SECONDS FROM DEFEAT AND THAT TAPE GAVE WAY! JUSTIN NEARLY HAD THIS WIN AND THAT TAPE SNAPS AT THE VERY FINAL SECONDS! COME ON MAN! THE LIMP BODY OF DRAKE KING BEING DRAGGED ACROSS THIS BLOOD RED WOOD AS JUSTIN WINDGATE CALLS FOR DRAKE TO GET BACK TO HIS FEET! DRAKE CAN BARELY MOVE, BUT JUSTIN KNOWS HE HAS TO STRIKE NOW!!
James Peters: DRAKE KING INCHING TO HIS UNSTABLE FEET AND JUSTIN ROARS OUT WITH A SPEAR- ‘ASCENSION’!!!!! THAT ‘ASCENSION’ ON THE WOOD AND OH MY HEAVENS, WHAT A COUNTER FROM DRAKE! HE TURNED THIS MATCH AROUND IN A HEARTBEAT AND HAS JUSTIN DOWN AND OUT! JUSTIN ISN’T MOVING AND DRAKE NOW LIFTS JUSTIN TO HIS FEET AND LEANS HIM AGAINST THE ROPES, DRAKE KING BOUNDS OF THE SECOND ROPE, DESTROYS THE FACE OF JUSTIN WITH A ‘GULLOTINEEEEEEEEE’!!!!!!

James Peters: KICKOUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!! HE KICKED OUT ALDLODFKFFFJKSLSLSLO!!!! HE KICKED OUT, SHOT THE SHOULDER UP WITH A SLIVER OF A SECOND LEFT AND SOMEHOW STAYED ALIVE IN THIS MATCH! DRAKE JUST FELL BACK ONTO THAT WOOD FLOORING AND RAN HIS HANDS THROUGH HIS HAIR! HE CAN’T BELIEVE THAT JUSTIN IS STILL IN THIS! THESE TWO HAVE FIGHTING SPIRIT LIKE NO OTHER, THIS LADIES AND GENTLEMAN, THIS IS PRO-WRESTLING! THIS IS ELITE ANSWERS WRESTLING, THIS IS VOLTAGE!!!
(NOW Arena is exploding and buzzing at the kickout of Justin Windgate.)
Rich Russillo: JUSTIN WINDGATE IS ALIVE AND THIS MATCH IS SOMEHOW STILL GOING! THESE TWO ARE BEATEN AND BLOODIED, THERE’S BLADES, BATS, CHAINSAWS AND BLOODY TAPE ALL AROUND THIS BROKEN DOWN RING WITH NO CANVAS, BUT THESE TWO MEN ARE SOMEHOW STILL VYING FOR THE TITLE OF VOLTAGE’S BEST! IT DOESN’T GET BETTER THAN THIS! BLOOD IS TRICKLING DOWN DRAKE’S FACE AND CHEST AS HE ROCKS AGAINST THE ROPES, WONDERING JUST WHAT IN THE WORLD WILL PUT JUSTIN WINDGATE DOWN FOR GOOD?!
James Peters: They’re both getting back to their knees now and are staring each other down! This blood-deep feud looks as if it will never be over! These two men are scowling at one another and if you thought that a grueling and bloody war between these two would earn mutual respect, you were wrong! They won’t stop, until one is down for good! Until one of them can physically no longer compete inside of an EAW ring! AND HERE THEY GO! DRAKE KING WITH A PUNCH TO THE FACE! JUSTIN RETURNS FIRE, DRAKE NOW GOES FOR A LARIAT AND JUSTIN AVOIDS IT, TAKES THE CHAMPION’S BACK AND LEAPS FOR A NECKBREAKER!!!
Rich Russillo: NO! DRAKE TURNS IT AROUND AND GRABS JUSTIN IN AN INVERTED DDT POSITION! HE LIFTS HIM UP AND SPINS HIM AROUND, THEN DROPS HIM NECK FIRST WITH A ‘DAWN OF JUSTICE’!!!! ‘DAWN OF JUSTICE’ LANDS IN FULL FORCE FOR DRAKE KING, WHO NOW LOOKS OVER AND SEES THE BOOK OF DRISTIANITY LAYING ON THE CANVAS! HE GRABS IT AND WALKS BACK OVER TO JUSTIN WINDGATE, HIS BLOOD STAINING THE PAGES, HE LAYS IT ON THE GROUND AND PLACES JUSTIN’S HEAD ON THE BOOK, OH MY, HE’S LOOKING FOR ‘JUDGEMENT DAY’!!! HE WANTS TO STOMP THE HAD OF JUSTIN ONTO THE BOOK OF DRISTIANITY, A SYMBOL OF THE NEW EDEN CODE OF LAW!!
James Peters: DRAKE COMES OFF THE ROPES AND LOOKS FOR ‘JUDGEMENT DAY’!!! IT DOESN’T CONNECT AS JUSTIN WINDGATE ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY! HE PICKS THE BOOK OF DRISTIANITY UP AND SMASHES IT AGAINST THE FACE OF DRAKE! THE POETIC JUSTICE, THE BOOK OF DRISTIANITY CRACKS THE NOSE OF DRAKE KING AND HE SLAMS AGAINST THE CANVAS! DRAKE IS DOWN AND JUSTIN ROLLS OUTSIDE THE RING TO GRAB…THE LIGHTER?! IS THIS MAN ABOUT TO HIT A BLUNT WHEN HE HAS DRAKE KING NEARLY BEAT!!?!
Rich Russillo: I DON’T THINK SO, LOOK AT HIM, HE’S HOLDING UP THE BOOK OF DRISTIANITY IN FRONT OF DRAKE KING! HE’S FORCING DRAKE TO WATCH AS HE NOW SETS ABLAZE THE BOOK OF DRISTIANITY! HE SETS THE BOOK ON FIRE AND THROWS IT TO THE CANVAS! DRAKE CAN’T BELIEVE HIS EYES, HE’S IN SHOCK! JUSTIN WINDGATE THROWS A MIDDLE FINGER HIS WAY AND DRAKE LOSES IT! HE STORMS TOWARDS JUSTIN AND AND WINDGATE SHOVES DRAKE AGAINST THE ROPES!!! DRAKE BOUNCES BACK AND WINDGATE DRIVES HIM DOWN WITH A ‘CLASSIC ENDING’!!!! OH MY GOD, HE HIT, ONE MORE ‘CLASSIC ENDING AS JUSTIN WINDGATE THROWS AN ARM OVER DRAKE KING’S BODY!!! HERE IT IS, FOR THE TITLE AND FOR THE WORLD!!!

James Peters: FOOT ON THE ROPE!! DRAKE KING GOT HIS FOOT ON THE BOTTOM ROPE AT THE VERY LAST SECOND AND JUSTIN WINDGATE IS CRYING OUT IN DISBELIEF, HE’S ARGUING WITH THE REFEREE, HE CAN’T BELIEVE DRAKE KING GOT THE FOOT ON THE ROPE! HOW THE HELL DID DRAKE SURVIVE THAT, HE CAN’T BE HUMAN?! SAY WHAT YOU WILL ABOUT HIS METHODS AND HIS MOTIVES, BUT THIS FORTITUDE AND DRIVE TO ACHIEVE HIS GOALS ARE SOMETHING ELSE, SHOWING THE WORLD RIGHT NOW WHY HE IS THE REIGNING WORLD CHAMPION!
(Crowd erupts as Drake got the foot on the ropes, some boo, but many chant for these two; “FIGHT FOREVER! FIGHT FOREVER! FIGHT FOREVER!”)
Rich Rusillo: JUSTIN WINDGATE WIPES THE BLOOD FROM HIS EYES AND PICKS DRAKE BACK UP, PULLING HIM BY THE HAIR AND JUST TRYING TO KEEP DRAKE ON HIS FEET! HE CAN’T EVEN DO IT! HE CAN’T GET DRAKE TO STAY ON HIS FEET, DRAKE IS EXHAUSTED AND WORN, HE JUST CAN’T FIND ANY MORE STRENGTH!
Persephone: JUSTIN WINDGATE MAY HAVE FOUND AN ALTERNATIVE! HE DRAGS THE BODY OF DRAKE ONTO THAT EXPOSED WOOD RING AND LOOKS AT THE SECOND TURMBUCKLE! OH MY GOD, JUSTIN WINDGATE ISN’T GONNA DO IT!! HE’S CLIMBED TO THE SECOND TURNBUCKLE AND IS EYEING DRAKE KING, HE’S GONNA FLY WITH THE ‘X-FACTOR’!!! THAT WOULD SURELY END THIS MATCH- WAIT, WHAT THE HELL IS HE DOING?!
Rich Russillo: THAT SECOND TURNBUCKLE WASN’T ENOUGH, JUSTIN WINDGATE IS ON THE TOP OF THE RING POST, HE CLIMBED TO THE TOP OF THE RING POST AND IT MUST FEEL LIKE HE’S ON TOP OF EVEREST RIGHT NOW!!! HE LOOKS DOWN AT DRAKE AND THAT BURNED BOOK OF DRISTNIATY! HE KNOWS THAT HE’S SLAIN NEW EDEN BY THE WAYSIDE! JUSTIN WINDGATE WITH HIS HANDS TO THE SKY, HE FLIEEEESSSSSSS WITH THE ‘X-FACTORRRRRRRRRRR’!!!!!!!!
James Peters: DRAKE ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY, DRAKE MOVED AND JUSTIN SLAMS AGAINST THAT WOOD FLOORING FACE FIRST!!!! OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD, STOP THIS MATCH AND GET SOME MEDICAL DOWN HERE, THIS CAN’T GO ON!!!! JUSTIN WINDGHATE JUST TRIED THAT HUGE SHOOTING STAR FROM THE TOP OF THE RING POST AND LANDED FLAT ON THE WOOD! HE’S DOWN AND OUT AND DRAKE KING SOMEHOW IS BACK TO HIS FEET!
Persephone: HE GRABS THAT BURNT BOOK OF DRISTIANITY, SLOWLY FLAKING AWAY AS ASH AND HE KNOWS THAT JUSTIN WINDGATE NEEDS TO PAY FOR WHAT HE DID! DRAKE KING ROLLS OUT OF THE RING AND GRABS THAT CHAINSAW!!! DRAKE KING, CHAINSAW IN HAND, ROLLS IN THE RING AND TURNS IT ON! OH MAN, DRAKE, HE’S BEEN THROUGH ENOUGH!!! DRAKE KING-
James Peters: WHAT IN GOD’S NAME?! DRAKE JUST PUT THAT CHAINSAW THROUGH THE WOOD AND CREATED A HOLE IN THE FLOOR, DRAKE PUTS THAT CHAINSAW THROUGH THE WOOD AND NOW THROWS IT TO THE SIDE! HE DRAGS WINDGATE’S BODY ACROSS THE RING AND PLACES HIS HEAD OVER THIS SAWED HOLE!!! WHAT IN THE,- WAIT, NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! OH MY GOD, NO, NO!!!!
Rich Russillo: DRAKE COMES OFF THE ROPES WITH A ‘JUDGMENT DAY’ STOMP THAT SENDS JUSTIN WINDGATE’S HEAD RIGHT THROUGH THE FLOORBOARDS!!!! HE ACTUALLY SENT HIS HEAD THROUGH THE RING BOARDS AND JUSTIN WINDGATE HAS GONE COMPLETELY LIMP! OH MY GOD!!! DRAKE LITERALLY CURB STOMPED HIS HEAD THROUGH THE FLOOR AND JUSTIN WINDGATE ISN’T EVEN CONSCIOUS ANYMORE! DRAKE FALLS TO THE CANVAS AND CAN’T EVEN COVER HIM, HE’S SO EXHAUSTED!!
James Peters: THE REFEREE IS ASKING JUSTIN WINDGATE IF HE CAN CONTINUE, BUT THERE’S NO ANSWER! THE REFEREE IS ON THE VERGE OF CALLING THIS MATCH, WE MAY NOT EVEN NEED A PIN FALL RO SUBMISSION, I DON’T KNOW IF JUSTIN WINDGAT CAN CONTINUE! DRAKE KING IN THE CORNER, TRYING TO PULL HIMSELF TO HIS FEET, JUSTIN WINDGATE BARELY RAISING HIS HEAD OFF THE CANVAS AND TRYING TO COLLECT HIMSELF-
Rich Russillo: DRAKE LOOKS AT THE BOOK ONE MORE TIME AND GLARES BACK AT JUSTIN WINDGATE! DRAKE KING STORMS OUT OF THE CORNER AND THIS TIME LANDS THE ‘BOOK OF DRISTNAINITYYYYY’ RIGHT TO THE TEMPLE!!! RIGHT TO THE SKULL AND THAT ONE WHIPLASHED JUSTIN’S NECK AROUND AND PUT HIM OUT COLD! BLOOD SPLATTERED EVERYWHERE AND THE REFEREE HAS SEEN ENOUGH! HE CALLS FOR THE TIME KEEPER TO RING THE BELL! IT’S OVER!!
DING! DING! DING!
(‘Cold War’ by Hans Zimmer begins to sound throughout the arena as the crowd is silenced by Drake King’s actions. They can’t believe this match ended so violently and are booing loudly as Drake lays exhausted against the canvas. There’s blood everywhere and even the referee has it on his shirt and pants. He tends to Justin Windgate as he hangs his jaw open and doesn’t move on the canvas.)
Bella Braxton: LADIES AND GENTLEMAN, DUE TO A REFEREE STOPPAGE, HERE IS YOUR WINNER….ANNDDDDD STILLLLLLLLLL!!!!! REIGNING EAW WORLD CHAMPION, DRAKEEEEEEEEEEE ‘THEEEEEEE REDEEEEEEEEEMERRRRRRRRRRRR’!!!!!
(Crowd boos as Drake is handed a rag by ringside officials to wipe the blood from his face.)
James Peters: Oh my god. We knew this would be bad, we knew it would be brutal and a war until the very end, but man, it got so bad to where even the referee knew a pinfall wouldn’t be the most merciful option. He had to stop this match and rightfully done, Justin is still out cold and God knows how his future looks after a match like this.
Rich Russillo: Drake too, this was back and forth and both men gave each other scars that will never leave them. Physically and mentally. Drake’s finger looks like it’s hanging on by skin alone and Justin looks like he needs to be taken out on a stretcher. I mean this match will change both of them forever and they’ll never forget it. A personal rivalry and an even more personal match. I can’t imagine two competitors going to further lengths just to call themselves champion, but we said it earlier, they fought for some much more tonight. And my god, did they fight.
Persephone: Matches don’t often leave you speechless, never really, but right now, man, I just can’t look at the broken bodies of these men and come up with apt words for this match. I can’t stand either of these men, but they proved tonmight that they’d go to any length for their goals, that’s not something that anybody can deny, no matter personal feelings.
Rich Russillo: We all are a little speechless right now, I mean, look at Drake, he won this match and he can barely move. He’s laying against the bottom turnbuckle and staring stoically at Justin Windgate, who’s being treated by medical personnel and likely being taken out of here in an ambulance. These two men left it all out here and would have literally died for this result tonight.
(Drake rolls out of the ring and the rest of New Eden, Myles and Minerva come down to the ring to help walk Drake up the ring. He’s still bleeding and dripping blood on that world title, which he loosely wears around his shoulder, unsure if he even has the title or not, he’s still out of it. New Eden stops at the top of the ramp and Drake drops his title to the ground, the three of them stare down at the ring as Justin Windgate is barely coming to consciousness.)
James Peters: I mean that was just…shocking.
(New Eden looks down the ramp as Drake gets blood on both Myles and Minerva. They all wear the scars of one another and look out into the NOW arena to a chorus of boos as New Eden stands atop the world. Still atop EAW and still atop it all. The last shot of New Eden at the stage is shown and the shot fades to black.)
(Promotional ad featuring Miku Sakai versus Harper Lee for the Specialists Championship at Road to Redemption.)
(The camera cuts to the commentary table before the main event of Voltage begins.)
James Peters: Welcome back to Voltage. Now before we get started with our main event of the night, allow me to welcome our special guest commentator. Please welcome Kirk Redwood. Thank you for joining us, Kirk.
Kirk Redwood: Thank you. I’m ready to see this match and give my opinion on these people.
Persephone: Why must he sit next to me? He smells like a brewery.
Kirk Redwood: Want some? I have a few bottles to spare.
Persephone: Umm. No. I’m good. *whispers* Gawd help me.
(The camera then cuts to Bella Braxton standing in the center of the ring, ready to announce the final match of the evening.)
Bella Braxton: The following contest is our MAIN EVENT OF THE EVENING! It is a TAG TEAM MATCH scheduled for… ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
Bella Braxton: Introducing first…
(“Nothing Helps” by ONE OK ROCK starts to play as Mary S. Atlas enters the arena to cheers from the crowd.)
Bella Braxton: Making her way to the ring, she is from St. Louis, Missouri. She weighs 125 pounds. She is “MOST WANTED” MARY S. ATLAS!
Rich Russillo: Mary S. Atlas making her way to the ring. Last week, she was unsuccessful in the 8 person tag team match on Voltage, but she is looking to get back to her winning ways tonight with a victory here tonight.
Kirk Redwood: She’s ok, I guess. She talks too much.
Persephone: Yeah, but didn’t her dumbass tag partner beat the shit out of her last week? That was great! Maybe we can see it again tonight.
(Mary enters the ring as she takes her corner and her theme fades out. Now “Ready to Die” by The Notorious B.I.G. starts to play as Lucas Johnson makes his way to the ring to a mixed reaction from the crowd.)
Bella Braxton: Introducing her tag team partner! He is from Long Island, New York! Weighing in at 210 pounds, he is “THE EMPEROR OF VIOLENCE” LUCAS JOHNSON!
Persephone: Damn, I forgot this was the man who attacked her. The Most violent speedbump is here again. Hooray for us!
James Peters: Will you be nice! Lucas Johnson did an amazing job last week against Myles. He didn’t win the match, but he got very close. He’s got an attitude, but he continues to persevere to get on track with his career.
Kirk Redwood: Yeah yeah, sure. He’s tolerable, but I can stand him more than some people around here.
(Lucas enters the ring locks eyes with Mary and they glare at each other. Lucas stands in an opposite corner away from Mary as his theme fades away. Seconds later, “New Tank” by Playboy Carti starts to play as Jay Jerry Johnson makes his way to the ring to a mixed reaction from the crowd.)
Bella Braxton: Now Introducing the opponents. First, he resides in New Jersey, New York. Weighing 198 Pounds, he is “THE CHARISMATIC ARTIST” JAY…JERRY…JOHNSON!
James Peters: Here comes the Number One Contender for the New Breed Title. He has a chance to win the first title of his career as well as bring the title back to Voltage. The new champion Jon Kelton is no person to take lightly.
Kirk Redwood: I kinda hope he loses.
Rich Russillo: Why’s that?
Kirk Redwood: He eliminated me from the Territorial Invasion match. It would be fitting if he couldn’t win the title.
Persephone: I have a question. New Jersey is NOT a city in New York state, so where the hell does he reside? He needs to pick a state and stick to it. He can’t just live on the border between the two. Unless the artist is a hobo or something.
(Jay enters the ring and takes his place on the opposite side of the ring from his opponents. As soon as Jay’s theme fades off, “Swallowing the Rabbit Whole” by Code Orange starts to play as Shane Gates makes his way to the ring to loud boos from the crowd.)
Bella Braxton: His tag team partner. He is from Huntington Beach, California. Weighing in at 213 pounds, he is “THE NATURAL BORN KILLER” SHANE GATES!
Kirk Redwood: Asshole!
James Peters: No love lost between you and him?
Kirk Redwood: I should have done more damage to him. Put him back in that grave that he crawled out of.
Persephone: Glad I am not the only one who thinks that this guy is a creepy man. What a day. I am agreeing with the boozer.
Rich Russillo: Shane Gates won two weeks ago against the upstart Kelin and he is looking to keep the momentum going with another victory in tag team action. But this tag team match will not be easy for either team. None of the four people in this match really care much for each other, so it will be interesting to see how these teams will either work together or just implode before our very eyes.
Persephone: Explosions? LET THERE BE BLOOD!
(Shane Gates enters the ring and stands next to his tag team partner as the ref tells the teams to take their mutual corners before calling for the bell to start the match.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
James Peters: This tag team main event is now underway. We have Mary S. Atlas starting off with Jay Jerry Johnson. Atlas didn’t even check with her partner, she just stepped up. Lock up in the center of the ring and Jerry takes the early advantage by wrenching the arm of Atlas before the hammerlock. Atlas gets an elbow into the face of Jerry and tries to hit the ropes, but Jerry holds on to the wrist of Mary and she gets taken down with a shoulder block.
Rich Russillo: Jerry brings Mary back to her before taking her back down with a snap suplex. Jerry floats over into the mount position and starts throwing lefts and rights into the face of Mary. Mary is trying to block as the ref tells him to open the hand. Jerry obliges as he brings Mary up and whips her into his team’s corner.
*TAG*
James Peters: Shane Gates tags in and they are double teaming Mary S. Atlas in the corner with the repeated kicks.
Kirk Redwood: Damn I hate Shane Gates. I can’t wait to get a chance to kick his ass.
Persephone: Why would anybody want to do anything with Shane Gates? He’s died, looks like death, and smells like it too. I’m surprised none of us have passed out due to the horrible smell. Can Rigor Mortis smell?
Rich Russillo: Gates now in control and he just uses his strength and power advantage to fling Mary halfway across the ring. Mary looked like a pretty blonde frisbee flying like that.
Persephone: She probably has the same IQ as a frisbee too. Good gawd she is a waste of space.
James Peters: Mary back to her feet and Shane goes to clothesline her, but Mary ducks the clothesline and hits the ropes. Mary with the rebound and she manages to take Gates down with a nice headscissor takeover. Gates is sent for a ride as Mary drags him to her corner looking for a tag.
Rich Russillo: LUCAS JUST TURNS AROUND! HE DOES NOT WANT TO TAG IN RIGHT NOW! MARY DOES NOT LOOK HAPPY!
Mary S. Atlas: (off-mic) What the hell are you doing?
Lucas Johnson: (off-mic) Keep going! You wanted to start so bad, so there you go. Have at it, bitch!
*SLAP*
*TAG*
Persephone: Bahahahahaha! The blonde bitch just slapped the ginger loser in the back of the head. That was great! Who needs this match if the partners are just going to attack each other? Seriously. End this thing. NOW!
Kirk Redwood: Do they need to fight now? Damn, just beat the hell out of Shane Gates or do I need to come up there and do it myself?
James Peters: I think you need to stay right here, Kirk. The referee is considering that slap in the head a legal tag for some reason and Lucas is the legal member of his team, but he isn’t wanting to get into the ring. He is glaring daggers at Mary, who is still holding onto the wrist of Shane Gates, but it might be too late. Shane has just clobbered Mary in the back of the head, sending her tumbling through the ropes and out of the ring.
Rich Russillo: Now Shane grabs the head of Lucas and brings him in the hard way. Lucas is back up to his feet and taken right back down to the mat with a nice dropkick to the face. Shane grabs Lucas by the hair and drags him to his team’s corner and makes the tag to Jerry.
*TAG*
James Peters: Now this is going to be an interesting matchup. Jay and Lucas. Johnson and Johnson.
Persephone: Did you seriously just say Johnson and Johnson? That has got to be your dumbest joke yet. But they do have equal comparisons to the shampoo. Let it get into your eyes and it starts to burn like hell. How about they do something?
Kirk Redwood: I could beat either of them up.
James Peters: Jay enters the ring and sweeps the legs of Lucas. Lucas bounces off the ropes and falls backward into an elbow smash to the back of the head from Jay. Lucas down and Jay drags him to the center of the ring and goes for a quick cover.
ONNNNEEEE!
TWWWWOOO!!
Rich Russillo: Lucas kicks out. Still too early in the match to take Lucas Johnson down. If you ask me, Jay is going to have to rely on his speed and that leg attack to counteract the ground game of Lucas. Lucas sits up and Jay goes for a roundhouse kick, but Lucas simply falls back to avoid the kick. Lucas rolls back and onto his feet and takes down Jay with a big clothesline right under the chin.
James Peters: Lucas now in control and he whips Jay into the corner of his team. Lucas is looking to tag Mary in the same way he got tagged in, but Lucas is met with a forearm to the face before a tag can be made. Jay now sits himself on the top turnbuckle and jumps, grabbing the head of Lucas and TAKES HIM DOWN WITH A TORNADO DDT!! Just like that Jay is back in control of this match.
Kirk Redwood: Not bad I guess. As long as it’s not Shane in there, it’s whatever.
Persephone: Damn, this match is boring. Seeing Lucas get his ass kicked just isn’t as thrilling as it used to be. Now artist weirdo is hitting the ropes and he just clobbers Ginger boy with a shotgun dropkick. Now Ginger is whipped into the opposing corner again. What an idiot.
*TAG*
Rich Russillo: Shane Gates back in the match and Jay puts Lucas on the top turnbuckle and now Shane Gates lifts Lucas AND HAS HIM IN THE GORILLA PRESS! WHAT POWER FROM THE NATURAL BORN KILLER!
Kirk Redwood: That’s not so impressive. I can do that too.
James Peters: LUCAS HAS BEEN UP THERE FOR A GOOD MINUTE AND NOW SHANE BRINGS LUCAS DOWN WITH THE GORILLA PRESS SPINEBUSTER! Shane Gates letting his strength advantage shine through in this match. Right now the combination of Jay Jerry Johnson and Shane Gates are looking like a very formidable duo. Which is kind of ironic because not too long ago, Lucas and Shane were a tag team.
Persephone: That’s a miracle in itself how anybody could team up with either of them. One’s a perennial loser and the other is a creepy psycho bastard. Fitting enough that those two ended up together as a last resort.
Rich Russillo: Now Shane Gates is trying to work on the lower back of Lucas Johnson. Gates rolled him over and dropped his knee right across the small of the back of Lucas. Lucas is in pain and in trouble as Shane grabs him in a reverse headlock. SHANE JUST PICKED HIM UP FROM THE FLOOR! Could he be looking for a reverse DDT? Nope! He walks him over to the ropes and DROPS HIM BACK FIRST ON THE TOP ROPE! Jay now climbs the top rope and tags himself in.
*TAG*
James Peters: Shane Gates is holding onto the arms of Lucas to keep him in place. Jay goes to fly and CATCHES LUCAS ACROSS THE THROAT WITH THE LEG DROP! LUCAS JOHNSON TURNED INSIDE OUT! JAY PULLS LUCAS AWAY FROM THE ROPES AND GOES FOR THE COVER!
ONNNNEEEEE!
TWWWWWWOOOO!!
THHHHRRRRE—
Rich Russillo: LUCAS KICKS OUT AT TWO! Lucas Johnson really needs to make a tag to Mary so he can get a breather. Ever since Lucas got tagged in, he has been pretty much dominated. It doesn’t help that Mary and Lucas have not been able to get on the same page in this match.
Persephone: So what? Lucas got attacked then he attacked Mary the next week. Is that a reason to not trust each other? If they knew that they couldn’t get along, why are they putting themselves through this? They should have just forfeited this match and we could have ended this show early.
Kirk Redwood: I wouldn’t have minded that, but not bec… because of them hating each. Because Shane Gates got hurt and couldn’t compete. Maybe I should have hit him harder with that beer bottle.
James Peters: Lucas and Mary might not be on the same page, but Lucas is crawling to his corner. He needs to get out of the ring fast or this match will be over very quickly. Lucas is taking a chance and lunges towards Mary, BUT JAY CUTS HIM OFF WITH A SPRINGBOARD KNEE TO BACK OF LUCAS STOPPING HIM IN HIS TRACKS! Lucas is still trying to get back to his knees. Now Jay hits the ropes and CATCHES LUCAS WITH A METEORA TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD! LUCAS DOWN ONCE AGAIN AND JAY GOES FOR ANOTHER COVER!
ONNNNNNNEEEEE!
TWWWWWWOOOO!!
THHHHHRRRRR—
Rich Russillo: Lucas kicks out again! Lucas again is showing the grit and determination that he showed against Myles last week. He does not want to lose this match.
James Peters: Jay Jerry Johnson looks a bit frustrated knowing that Lucas is still in this match, and now Jay pulls Lucas back up to his feet, ready to land another move! Jay now, LOOKING FOR THE YKHM ENDING- BUT LUCAS JOHNSON IS ABLE TO SLIP BEHIND JAY BEFORE PULLING HIM DOWN INTO A SCHOOL BOY PIN!
OOOONNNNNNNNNEEEEE!
TTTTTWWWWOOOOOOOO!!-
James Peters: JAY JERRY JOHNSON KICKS OUT, AND AS SOON AS BOTH ELITISTS GET BACK TO THEIR FEET JAY IS ABLE TO CONNECT WITH A NASTY KNEE TO THE MIDSECTION, DROPPING LUCAS DOWN TO THE MAT! It’s not looking good for Lucas, and now Jay tags Shane Gates back into the match!
Kirk Redwood: :francis: Real shame he’s even able to compete tonight.
Persephone: Wow, I actually agree. Then again I kinda wish I didn’t have to see any of the people in the ring. Or you for that matter.
Rich Russillo: Shane Gates re-enters the ring as Lucas Johnson gets back up to his feet, AND NOW SHANE GATES DROPS LUCAS WITH A HUGE BIG BOOT! Shane with a major move as soon as he enters this match, AND NOW IT LOOKS LIKE HE’S LOOKING FOR AN EVEN BIGGER ONE, AS HE LIFTS LUCAS UP INTO A POWERBOMB POSITION!
James Peters: NO! LUCAS JOHNSON MANAGES TO FIGHT OUT OF SHANE’S GRASP BEFORE STUMBLING INTO THE CORNER, AND-
*TAG!*
James Peters: Mary S. Atlas just tagged herself in! Mary is in this match, and she goes right after Shane Gates with a bunch of forearms! Mary S. Atlas backing Shane into an empty corner, AND SHE BACKS UP BEFORE CHARGING IN, AND DELIVERING A HUGE RUNNING FOREARM SMASH IN THE CORNER! MARY NOW SENDING SHANE INTO THE OPPOSITE CORNER, AND SHE CHARGES IN BEFORE GOING FOR THE 9 MILES-
Rich Russillo: BUT IT DOESN’T CONNECT! SHANE GATES JUST POPPED MARY UP INTO HER ARMS, AND NOW MARY BEGINS PUNCHING AWAY AT SHANE GATES, BUT SHANE IS THE STRONGER ELITIST AND HE’S ABLE TO DROP MARY TO THE MAT WITH A POWERBOMB, BEFORE DEADLIFTING HER BACK UP AND DELIVERING A SIT-OUT POWERBOMB! That amazing powerbomb combo connects, and now Shane follows it up with the pin to possibly win the match!
ONNNNNNNEEEEE!
TTTTTTWWWOOOOOOOO!!
TTTHHHREEEEE-
Rich Russillo: MARY POPS THE SHOULDER UP! MARY JUST KICKED OUT OF THE POWERBOMB COMBO, AND SHANE GATES CAN’T BELIEVE WHAT HE’S SEEING RIGHT NOW!
Kirk Redwood: Of course she kicked out. Shane Gates is pathetic, he was never going to put her away like that.
Persephone: I really wish he did. That way I wouldn’t have to be this close to you any longer.
James Peters: Shane Gates pulls Mary S. Atlas off the mat, AND HE TAKES HER DOWN WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX, BUT HE DOESN’T LET GO OF HER JUST YET! SHANE GATES PULLS MARY S. ATLAS BACK UP TO HER FEET, AND NOW HE GOES FOR THE RIPCORD LARIAT- BUT MARY MANAGED TO DUCK UNDER IT! MARY AVOIDED THE LARIAT, AND NOW SHE HITS SHANE GATES WITH AN ENZUIGIRI TO CAUSE HIM TO STUMBLE BACK A BIT!
Rich Russillo: MARY S. ATLAS NOW WITH THE CUTTER CULTURE- NO! SHANE GATES GRABS MARY FROM BEHIND AS SHE LOOKED FOR THE CUTTER, AND NOW SHANE GOES FOR THE RIPCORD LARIAT ONCE MORE, BUT ONCE AGAIN MARY IS ABLE TO DUCK UNDER IT BEFORE STUMBLING BACK TOWARDS THE CORNER-
*TAG!*
Rich Russillo: And now it’s Lucas tagging himself back into the match!
(Lucas Johnson enters the ring, and the two share a few words, arguing with each other before Mary reluctantly leaves the ring.)
James Peters: Lucas is in this now, AND SHANE GATES CHARGES IN FOR A LARIAT, BUT LUCAS JOHNSON MANAGES TO AVOID IT BEFORE PULLING SHANE DOWN WITH A SNAPMARE! Lucas Johnson now running the ropes, AND HE ATTEMPTS TO HIT SHANE WITH A RUNNING BOOT, BUT SHANE IS ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE WAY! Shane Gates is quickly back up to his feet, AND HE LIFTS LUCAS UP INTO AN ELECTRIC CHAIR POSITION- BUT LUCAS IS ABLE TO SLIP BEHIND SHANE BEFORE PUSHING HIM AWAY! Shane Gates turns around, AND LUCAS JOHNSON CHARGES IN- BUT JAY JERRY JOHNSON TAGS HIMSELF IN BEFORE LUCAS COULD ATTACK!
Persephone: And when one idiot leaves, another one enters.
Kirk Redwood: :francis:
Rich Russillo: Jay Jerry Johnson charges at Lucas Johnson looking for a lariat, but Lucas Johnson ducks under it! Jay now turning around, AND LUCAS GOES FOR A DISCUS ELBOW BUT JAY MANAGED TO BLOCK IT! JAY JERRY JOHNSON NOW LOOKING FOR A SUPERKICK- BUT LUCAS AVOIDS IT BEFORE DELIVERING A EUROPEAN UPPERCUT! THE EUROPEAN UPPERCUT CONNECTS, AND THAT DROPS JAY DOWN TO THE MAT! Jay Jerry Johnson is out cold, and now Lucas Johnson takes this as an opportunity to begin making his way up to the top rope!
James Peters: LUCAS JOHNSON GOES FOR THE RED ARROW- BUT JAY JERRY JOHNSON IS ABLE TO GET THE KNEES UP!! JAY GOT THE KNEES UP, AND LUCAS JOHNSON JUST CRASHED ONTO THEM! Lucas Johnson rolls off of Jay Jerry Johnson in pain, and it’s not looking good for Lucas right now! Lucas was looking for a major move, and instead he landed right on top of Jay’s knees! Now it’s Jay Jerry Johnson with the advantage, and this isn’t what Mary S. Atlas wants to see right now as she’s on the same team on Lucas, but what can she do right now?
Persephone: She can die for all I care. This match has to end sometime soon, and all they’re doing right now it dragging it out way longer than it needs to be. It’s annoying as hell, and I don’t get why we need to be put through this right before Road to Redemption.
Kirk Redwood: I don’t care how this match goes in the slightest, but Jay and Shane haven’t been impressive in the slightest tonight, which is why I don’t understand how Jay has control over the match.
Rich Russillo: Jay Jerry Johnson pulls Lucas Johnson up to his feet, AND LUCAS MANAGED TO LAND A FOREARM, BUT JAY DELIVERS A KNEE TO THE STOMACH, THE SAME AREA LUCAS HURT WITH THAT RED ARROW LANDING! JAY JERRY JOHNSON NOW WITH THE PRETTY VISITOR- NO! LUCAS JOHNSON CATCHES JAY BY THE ARMS, AND NOW LUCAS LOOKS FOR THE KILLSWITCH- BUT JAY QUICKLY PULLS HIMSELF TOWARDS THE ROPES AND GRABS ONTO THEM BEFORE IT COULD CONNECT, FORCING LUCAS TO BACK OFF OF HIM!! Lucas Johnson now grabbing Jay Jerry Johnson- BUT JAY HITS A BACK ELBOW, AND THAT ELBOW SEEMED TO HURT!
James Peters: It definitely did! Jay Jerry Johnson holds Lucas Johnson in a front facelock, BUT LUCAS RUSHES INTO THE CORNER, SLAMMING JAY’S BACK AGAINST THE TURNBUCKLES! Both Elitists stumble out of the corner, BUT LUCAS JOHNSON RUNS THE ROPES BEFORE GOING FOR THE LIGHTSWITCH- WAIT NO! THE LIGHTSWITCH DOESN’T CONNECT, JAY MANAGED TO JUST BARELY AVOID IT! JAY AVOIDS THE LIGHTSWITCH, AND AS SOON AS LUCAS JOHNSON GETS BACK TO HIS FEET, HE’S HIT WITH THE PRETTY VISITOR! THE PRETTY VISITOR CONNECTS AND DRILLS LUCAS JOHNSON’S HEAD INTO THE MAT!!
Kirk Redwood: Of course. I should’ve known Lucas wouldn’t have been competent enough to get the job done.
Persephone: WHO CARES??? JAY IS PINNING LUCAS, AND THAT MEANS THIS MATCH IS FINALLY ABOUT TO COME TO AN END!
ONNNEEEEEEEEEEE!
TTWWWWOOOOOOOO!!
TTTHHRRREEEEEEEEE-
Persephone: WHAT????
Rich Russillo: LUCAS JOHNSON JUST GOT THE SHOULDER UP!!! LUCAS JOHNSON IS STILL IN THIS MATCH LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! I know it looked like that was the end of the match, and I actually believed it was, but SOMEHOW Lucas Johnson just found a way to keep this match alive, and I’d say he kept it alive for his team, but I’m sure he’s really only fighting for himself this week!
Persephone: That’s the problem, though. I don’t want him to fight for himself. I DON’T WANT HIM TO FIGHT AT ALL! All I want is for this match to end!
James Peters: Jay Jerry Johnson is slowly pulling Lucas Johnson back up to his feet- BUT WAIT A MINUTE! LUCAS JUST HIT JAY WITH A HUGE HEADBUTT, AND BOTH ELITISTS DROP TO THE MAT! BOTH ELITISTS ARE DOWN, AND NOW LUCAS JOHNSON IS CRAWLING TO HIS CORNER! LUCAS IS MAKING HIS WAY TO THE CORNER, AND NOW HE JUMPS OUT FOR THE TAG-
(Just before Lucas could tag Mary back into the match, Mary jumps off of the ring apron, leaving Lucas with a look of shock.)
Kirk Redwood: :mjlol: Yikes.
Rich Russillo: MARY S. ATLAS JUST JUMPED OFF OF THE APRON, AND NOW SHE’S MAKING HER WAY UP THE RAMP! Mary couldn’t have taken kindly to that attack last week, and I guess tonight didn’t make things any better between them!
(Lucas Johnson slowly gets back up, and he’s yelling at Mary, but Mary isn’t listening, instead just continuing to make her way to the back.)
James Peters: WAIT, JAY JERRY JOHNSON JUST LIFTED LUCAS UP! YKHM ENDING!!! YKHM ENDING BY JAY JERRY JOHNSON WHILE LUCAS WAS DISTRACTED!! THE COVER!!!!!
ONEEEEE!
TWWWOOOOOOOO!!
TTTHHHRREEEEEEEE!!!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Bella Braxton: Here are your winners… JAY JERRY JOHNSON AND SHANE GATES!!!!
(Shane Gates steps into the ring while Jay Jerry Johnson makes his way back up to his feet, and the crowd gives a mixed reaction as ‘New Tank’ hits, and both competitors have their arms raised by the referee.)
James Peters: Mary S. Atlas just cost Lucas Johnson the match! They were supposed to work as a team, but apparently their hatred for each other was just too much for her!
Rich Russillo: It really is a shame, but they opened the door for Jay to take advantage and pick up the victory. They’re on the losing side this week, and there’s nobody they can blame for that but themselves.
Persephone: Right right right, congrats or whatever. We need to move on like right now.
(Kirk Redwood has taken off his headset while the commentary team was talking, and he stands up from his seat as the referee lets go of Shane and Jay. Shane turns his attention to Kirk Redwood, and the two share some words as Jay celebrates the victory, and Shane Gates raises his own arms in victory. From there, Voltage fades away from ringside.)
(Promotional ad for Jay Jerry Johnson versus Jon Kelton for the New Breed Championship at Road to Redemption.)
(‘Self Help Tape’ by Moses Sumney hits as the crowd goes wild, cheering as loud as they can out of pure joy, even if they’ve already heard this entrance music tonight. Voltage Commissioner Captain Charisma begins to make his way out to the stage once again, and it’s made very clear that the fans are extremely happy to have him in control of Voltage once again. Captain Charisma has a microphone in his hand, and he makes his way down to the ring as the fans continue to cheer.)
James Peters: I’ve always been glad to have Captain Charisma as Voltage Commissioner, but I don’t think I’ve ever been as happy to see him as I’ve been tonight.
Rich Russillo: Me neither. This has been a great night, and I’m so glad that we’ll finally be able to go back to the way things were before New Eden November.
Persephone: Yeah yeah, I’m glad I can finally say fuck again and all, but does he really have to be out here *again*? Unless Captain Charisma plans to bring Rexy back right now, I don’t see why my time should be getting wasted like this.
(Captain Charisma enters the ring, and the crowd continues to cheer, forcing him to wait a few seconds. As the crowd quiets down, Captain Charisma begins to speak with a smile on his face, still glad to see the fans support for his first Voltage back.)
Captain Charisma: Guys, I came out here at the start of the night, and I was so happy to hear the reaction you guys gave me. I was glad to see just how excited you all were for things to go back to normal, and now I’m coming out here once again and I’m still pleased with all of you. I’m glad that you all are hungry to see Voltage go back to the way it was, because trust me, I feel the exact same way. When I came out here at the start of the night there was a lot I had to get off my chest, but right now I’m out here for one reason and for one reason only, and that’s because as you all know, there’s going to be an Extreme Elimination Chamber match for the EAW Championship at Road to Redemption to look forward to.
(The crowd begins cheering extremely loudly in excitement for Road to Redemption, especially thanks to the EAW Championship Extreme Elimination Chamber being reinstated weeks ago.)
Captain Charisma: Unfortunately I’m not the one that got to plan out how this match would go and who’d participate in it, but I’m not one to complain, not when there’s such a phenomenal list of talent looking to compete for that EAW World Championship at Road to Redemption. That’s actually why I’m out here right now. There’s only one week before Road to Redemption, and I think that we deserve to hear from everyone competing in this match one final time before the big event. Introducing first-
(Before Captain Charisma could finish, ‘My Brother (the Dragonslayer)’ by Shiro SAGISU hits, immediately causing the crowd to begin booing extremely loudly. Minerva begins to walk out dragging along the National Elite Championship and holding a microphone, and Drake King joins her holding a microphone of his own, although it quickly becomes noticeable that he’s already irritated, and far from in a good mood.)
James Peters: Well, here comes the two members of New Eden that’ll be competing at Road to Redemption! I don’t know if that’s who Captain Charisma was planning to introduce, but they clearly have something to say anyway,
Rich Russillo: Drake definitely doesn’t look too happy, and I’m guessing that’s because of this match being reinstated against his wishes.
Persephone: That, or because he got fucked up by Holly Arrow and Rebecca Blackwell. :mjlol:
(The two members of New Eden make their way up the steps, and Minerva begins to speak while Captain Charisma doesn’t look too amused.)
Minerva: Don’t entertain them. This match is happening for one reason, and one reason only. When this is all done, none of our opponents will be challenging for the EAW Championship again, that’s it. There’s no need to waste everyone’s time with this, because at Road to Redemption that Championship isn’t going anywhere.
(The crowd boos loudly, and at this point Captain Charisma just looks annoyed looking at Minerva and Drake.)
Captain Charisma: We’ll see what happens at Road to Redemption, but right now I’m sure your opponents have a lot to get off their chests, especially this man.
(Captain Charisma points towards the stage, and after a few seconds, ‘The Only Thing They Fear is YOU’ by Mick Gordon hits. The crowd immediately begins booing loudly, but just a few cheers could also be heard as Ryan Wilson begins to make his way out with a microphone in his hand. He begins making his way to the ring, speaking as he walks down the ramp.)
Ryan Wilson: Don’t get ahead of yourself, Minerva. I haven’t forgotten about what you and Myles did a few weeks ago, and that little fight at the end of Voltage last week wasn’t enough for me. You two and Myles already made fools out of yourselves after doing nothing for an entire month besides fining us for saying a few words, and I for one am excited to make even bigger fools out of the two of you by taking BOTH of your Championships in back to back weeks. Drake over there thought that he could get out of this whole Extreme Elimination Chamber, but in the end I’m going to get exactly what I wanted ever since I nearly knocked Candice Blair’s head off at Wicked Games. There’s no running away from this, and I’m excited to see the look on *your* face once I become the EAW Champion at Road to Redemption and you realize that it’s your fault.
(Ryan Wilson enters the ring.)
Minerva: You’ve faced both of us before, Ryan. You do remember how both matches ended, right? Road to Redemption won’t end any differently for you, and a week after that, I’m going to make sure our match for the National Elite Championship ends with the same exact result: your failure.
Ryan Wilson: I don’t think you get it Minerva, so let me just help you understand. This is what I want more than anything right now. I used my opportunity that I could’ve used for ANY match all for a shot at that EAW Championship in this Extreme Elimination Chamber. I’m not losing this match, and when the two of us go head to head for that National Elite Championship, I won’t be losing that match either-
(Ryan Wilson is cut off by ‘Shake It’ by Metro Station, and as soon as this entrance music hits, it’s met by a mixed reaction of both cheers and boos. Chris Elite and Jake Smith begin to make their way down to the ring, both holding microphones in their hands. The two of them have grins on their faces, neither of them taking Ryan Wilson’s words seriously as they walk down the ramp.)
James Peters: The Haircare Kings are making their way down to the ring now, and remember everyone, Ryan isn’t the only one with an opportunity to become double Champion here!
Rich Russillo: That’s right. Either Jake Smith or Chris Elite could end up a double Champion if they win at Road to Redemption and win the Unified Tag Team Championships!
(Jake and Chris enter the ring, and they first turn their attention to Ryan Wilson.)
Ryan Wilson: I-
Chris Elite: Ryan shut your dumbass up. You know damn well you’re not winning this match, and you’d be lucky to even win the National Elite title. This is an Extreme Elimination Chamber for a World Championship, and you should’ve thought about that before you wasted your match opportunity on that, but clearly you didn’t. Take a quick look at all the people competing in this match. Fuck winning this match, your main goal should be trying not to be the first one eliminated.
Jake Smith: This match is for people that actually have talent, and let’s face it, Ryan. You’re the weak link of nearly every single match you compete in. You were the weak link of the match that got you this opportunity in the first place. You were the weak link of our team last week. You’re going to be the weak link in a match that’d otherwise be full of a bunch of people that have actually accomplished anything worthwhile in their careers.
Ryan Wilson: Right, right. It’s easy to say that now, but it’s going to be a very different story at Road to Redemption when I outlast every single one of you. Besides, even if you two were to make it to the end of the match, you guys do realize only one of you can win the title, right?
(Jake and Chris look at each other for a second, and Jake just rolls his eyes before continuing to speak.)
Jake Smith: Yeah, no shit. One of us is going to leave Road to Redemption as the EAW Champion and obviously I’m going to make sure that it’s me, just like Chris will try to make sure he wins the match, but regardless of which one of us actually wins, when the Haircare Kings dethrone Harlow and Xavier for the Unified Tag Team Championships, one of US will be the double Champion, not Ryan fucking Wilson :mjlol:. After Road to Redemption, the EAW Champion will be someone that already knows what it’s like going up against Drake, and has more history with him than anyone else in this company. The EAW Champion will be the man that deserves it more than anyone else standing inside of the ring.
(Jake turns his attention to Drake and Minerva before continuing.)
Jake Smith: The next EAW Champion is going to be-
Chris Elite: Me.
Jake Smith: :comeagain:
Chris Elite: We’re gonna win the Unified Tag Titles right after Road to Redemption, but if only one man can win the Extreme Elimination Chamber then I’m gonna make sure it’s me. We’ll both be Champions by the end of the year, but I’m not letting anyone take this away from me and you knew damn well that that included you. I’ve been looking to add another World Championship to my resume for a while now, and time and time again I’ve been unsuccessful, even when I’ve gotten closer and closer. I know how good I am, and I’m good enough to not just pose a threat to everyone in this match, but I’m good enough to kick y’all asses and win this Chamber. Last time I competed in one of these Chambers I eliminated the Champion after already beating Mr. DEDEDE at that same show, and you know who the Champion was?
(Chris walks up to Drake, who still has yet to say anything.)
Chris Elite: The Champion was the same one who made you start acting like a fucking weirdo in the first place. This year I’m not settling at just eliminating the Champion. I’m going to make sure that I win this Chamber and *become* the Champion. I’m looking to make myself a triple crown and grand slam Champion, but I’ll have no problem adding “double Champion” and “EAW World Champion” to my resume on top of all of that. You’re about to get Chris Elite at his best in a week, and this time the Gawd Contract won’t need to come into play. I’m winning this the first time.
(Drake doesn’t respond, but Minerva steps in front of Chris before beginning to speak.)
Minerva: You only had to use the Gawd Contract at Wicked Games because you and Jake weren’t good enough, just like you haven’t been good enough these past few weeks, and dropped the ball miserably as soon as you didn’t have a partner alongside you.
Chris Elite: One loss out of how many? I’m still at the top of my game regardless of what happened against Xavier, and if you don’t believe it now-
Ryan Wilson: Then we surely won’t be believing it next week, because I don’t think a loss is going to help your case.
Minerva: You both fell at my hands this season alone, and at Road to Redemption Drake and I are going to do exactly what I promised we would when I reinstated this Chamber. We’re going to-
(‘High All The Time’ by 50 Cent cuts Minerva off, and the crowd explodes as Justin Windgate begins to walk out with a microphone of his own. Captain Charisma is still inside of the ring, and he looks glad to see Justin Windgate as Justin walks down the ramp and towards the ring.)
James Peters: Here comes Justin Windgate, the final member of this huge Extreme Elimination Chamber!
Persephone: We really are going to be here all night, aren’t we :will:.
Rich Russillo: The fans are happy to see Justin Windgate tonight, and I’m sure Captain Charisma is also pleased to see him after all the effort Justin put in to try and help him keep Voltage back at Wicked Games!
(Captain Charisma begins to speak as Justin approaches the ring.)
Captain Charisma: Ladies and gentlemen, our full line-up for the Extreme Elimination Chamber for the EAW Championship! Drake King, Minerva, Ryan Wilson, Chris Elite, Jake Smith, and Justin Windgate!
(The crowd cheers loudly for a while, but Justin Windgate begins to speak as he walks up the steel steps, entering the ring.)
Justin Windgate: As far as I’m concerned you’re all wasting your time, here. I love a good fight and all, but only one person is leaving Road to Redemption with the EAW Championship, and it’s not Ryan. It’s not Chris. It’s not Jake, and it’s definitely not Minerva. The next EAW Champion is going to be the one that gave Drake the fight of his life at Bloodsport, and would’ve helped Captain Charisma keep his job at Wicked Games if it weren’t for Ms. Extreme’s interference. I’m going to be the one to force New Eden to crack. I’m going to be the reason why this company can finally go back to the way it was before you three came along trying to ruin anything. Back when we could all just wrestle the way we want to without having to worry about three cowards attacking us just because we have a different mindset than them, and we actually value the things this company gives us. I’m going to take that EAW Championship, and when that happens..
(Justin Windgate looks Minerva in the eyes.)
Justin Windgate: This stupid reign of terror you three have been on since February is going to slowly but surely come to an end.
(Justin and Minerva don’t break eye contact, and it becomes clear just how much hatred there is between New Eden and Justin Windgate, the result of a feud spanning across this entire season.)
Chris Elite: Didn’t you have a title shot already and get your head kicked off?
Jake Smith: Yep, pretty sure he did.
Ryan Wilson: :wtf: Didn’t the same thing happen to you?
Jake Smith: Yeah, and unlike you I’m actually good enough to be in the Championship picture.
Justin Windgate: I for one couldn’t care less about who had prior opportunities and who didn’t, because either way I’ve been given one more chance to win one of the only things I’ve been missing throughout my entire career, and beyond that I’ve been given one more chance to finally take down New Eden. At Road to Redemption I’ll be in that match because I want to win. I’ll be looking to take that Championship for myself, but I know and I’m pretty sure that every single one of you know..
(Justin points towards Minerva and Drake.)
Justin Windgate: That no matter what, they can’t win.
(The crowd cheers in support of Justin Windgate.)
Jake Smith: They won’t win. Why would they? I’m in this match. I’m not about to walk into Road to Redemption just to lose, and I’m definitely not about to lose to them. I have my history with New Eden. I have history with all of you for that matter, and I’ve been good enough to become World Champion for a while now, but my entire career I’ve missed out on opportunities like this. I’ve never even competed in an Extreme Elimination Chamber until now, but I plan to end my first one of these Chambers with not just a win, but with my first World Championship.
Ryan Wilson: I’m going to be the one to win the EAW Championship.. But I *will* enjoy beating the shit out of both Drake King and Minerva, just like I’ll enjoy doing it all over a week later when I take Minerva’s own title away from her. As far as I’m concerned, I’m the one that’ll be bringing about the downfall of New Eden.
(Minerva looks around at the four Elitists speaking, not completely surprised about their attitudes, especially since she reinstated this match just to take their opportunity at the Championship away from them.)
Chris Elite: :mjlol: It’s fucking funny that you actually think you’re winning this match. I really don’t give a shit what happens to New Eden after this match, but whatever they have planned is just gonna have to go on without the EAW Championship.
(Justin turns towards Drake King, who’s still seemingly in a sour mood.)
Justin Windgate: New Eden’s time is coming up, and I can’t wait to be the one that rips that Championship out of your hands.
(The crowd begins cheering once again, but this is all quickly cut off as Minerva begins speaking once again.)
Minerva: Every single one of you is delusional, to the point where you’ve gone insane, making the exact same mistakes you’ve made in the past. How many times have we heard Justin Windgate promise to end New Eden? How many times have we heard Chris Elite promise that he’d finally find the success he’s been deprived of at our expense? How many times has Jake promised to finally become a World Champion, and we already learned that Ryan Wilson wasn’t a man of his word when he lost to every single member of New Eden this season. None of you learn from your mistakes, and that’s fine, but we’ve done all of this before so we know how it ends. We know how this goes, and at Road to Redemption you’ll all end your nights being helped out of the Extreme Elimination Chamber, empty handed.
(The crowd begins booing loudly as Minerva continues.)
Minerva: Once Drake retains the EAW Championship, not a single one of you will be able to challenge for it again. You’ll all be sent to the back of the line where you belong, and that’ll be it for you. That’ll be the end of Ryan Wilson’s World Championship dreams, Chris Elite’s hopes of making it to where he was in 2018, Jake Smith’s goal of doing what he never could, and Justin Windgate’s chance to redeem himself for his own failures. After Road to Redemption New Eden will reign supreme, and this place will have the chance to go back to how it was while we were in charge, fun.
(The crowd boos loudly, and everyone inside of the ring looks at Minerva with a look of disgust. They obviously don’t believe in a word she says, and when they turn their attention to Drake King, his expression doesn’t change at all. It takes a few seconds, but finally he begins to speak.)
Drake King: I have nothing to say.
Captain Charisma: :comeagain:
(Everyone inside of the ring looks at Drake confused, including Minerva.)
Minerva: Drake?
Drake King: No, I have nothing to say. It is what it is with this Chamber.
(Drake drops his microphone as he looks at Minerva, before turning and making his way out of the ring, not saying another word as he begins to make his way up the ramp, much to the surprise of everyone else inside of the ring.)
Minerva: What do you mean?
(Minerva lets go of her microphone and quickly rolls out of the ring as Drake makes his way out of the ramp, rushing up to him near the top of the ramp before beginning to speak to him. The two begin talking on the ramp, but the cameras don’t pick up what it is they’re saying.)
James Peters: Um.. What’s going on right now. :lupe:
Rich Russillo: There’s only a week before Road to Redemption, I don’t know if this is what needs to be happening between New Eden right now.
Persephone: :comeagain: Did you just forget the entire month of November? This is exactly what needs to happen!
(Everyone inside of the ring watches the conversation, and they all seem to be both interested by this and amused, knowing that from the looks of it, New Eden might be cracking before their very eyes.)
James Peters: Well, this is all for Voltage tonight. I don’t know what’s going on between New Eden, but in just one week we’ll be seeing exactly how this will impact the Extreme Elimination Chamber. As always, I’m James Peters, and with me is Rich Russillo and Persephone Tsitsipas. Good night everyone, and see you next week for Road to Redemption!
(Captain Charisma is seen inside of the ring with the remaining competitors, and there’s a big smile on his face. After all, he’s the one that said that New Eden would find a way to mess things up for themselves without his presence. He looks glad to see things turn out like this- but gradually the smile that was on his face begins to fade.)
Rich Russillo: :lupe:
(The camera cuts to the stage as Captain Charisma’s grin fades, revealing Drake King and Minerva, both smiling at one another as they’ve seem to reach some sort of understanding. From there, Voltage begins to fade to black.)
(EAW logo buzzes.)
