Voltage 2/10/2019

(EAW intro plays.)

(After the intro concludes, Voltage fades into a video package showcasing all the Voltage Kings who competed at King of Elite. It shows the ups and downs the Voltage elitists faced.)

( EXTENDED RECAP OF KING OF ELITE 2019: Voltage Edition : “The Mantra” by Mike WiLL Made-It, Pharrell and Kendrick Lamar plays in the background.)

● The opening sequence of the event taking place, images flashing of the major players featured on the event.

● Clips of the chaos between Noah Reigner and SOSA Henderson are featured. The street fight that went everywhere from ring, to ringside, to backstage. This sequence ends when Evelyn drills SOSA in the head with a steel chair, Noah following up with ‘The Hard Goodbye’ for the victory. Reacquiring his Cash in the Vault briefcase.

● The Visual Prophet representing the Voltage brand is seen next in the fatal fourway for the New Breed Championship, against Crosby Carter, Damon Diesel and defending champion Raven Roberts. The sequence begins with a sudden superkick from Carter to Viz as he tells the world to say his name. Various highlights include submissions by Diesel, smash mouth – brawling style attacks from Crosby, Raven with the “Raven’s Wings” to the outside of the ring taking out the other three competitors. The sequence ends with Carsyn going through a pane of glass at the hands of Viz, then fading into his “Bow to the Heart” elbow drop on Diesel. New Champ!! Visual Prophet is seen celebrating.

● Prince of Phenomenal and Jack Ripley representing Voltage in the King of Elite finals against Malcolm Jones and Jason McKormick. The package showcases all four exchanging shots and maneuvers. Jack’s “You’ll Float Too” Superkick to POP. Jason McKormick snatching the momentum tossing a set of steel steps into POP’s face. Powerbomb from Malcolm to Jack onto the steel steps. Not one, but two curbstomps from McKormick to Malcolm. A sensational Shooting Star Press from Jack taking out McKormick. Malcolm hitting the “Re-up” Diving Legdrop onto Jack. The sequence ending with Malcom hitting McKormick with the “Buck 50” to become the 2019 King of Elite!

● The grudge match between Xander Payne, Myles and Drake King is next. Payne starting the match off quickly with a sneak attack with a steel chair to the back of Myles. King follows up with a Tope Con Hilo, taking everyone out. Spinning Sitout Powerbomb by Myles to Drake. Superkick to Myles’ jaw to break up that very pin. Xander attempting and missing a big moonsault off of the top rope. Drake grabbing a sharpie from the timekeepers desk and using it two different ways as a weapon on Xander. Drake then throwing the ring bell, hurling it toward a mid-air Myles, stopping him mid-flight. Quick sequence of hardcore, brawling clips using announce tables, cables and television monitors. Immediately followed by Myles hitting the “De-Facto” on Xander to put him through a table. The sequence ends with Myles hitting another “De-Facto” on Xander, this time covering him and pinning him for the three.

● TLA versus Lethal Consequences for the Openweight Championship is up next. This part of the video begins with a verbal confrontation between the two, leading into an exchange of strikes in the middle of the ring. LC ends up in a tree of woe position after an ill-timed hurricanrana attempt, which leads TLA into a diving double foot stomp onto LC’s chest from the top rope. After a standing moonsault and a diving crossbody, LC rolls out of the ring .. only to fall victim to a suicide dive that breaks the crowd barrier! The Johannesburg crowd erupting into chants and cheers while both men drag themselves free. LC taking advantage and driving TLA into the ring post and then hitting a leg drop on the outside of the ring. Transitioning into the ring, the video slows as TLA locks the “AR15” onto LC in the middle of the ring. This lasts for a moment before returning to full speed when LC breaks free and ends up hitting the “Acid Rain” for a 2.99 count. The count was short when POP made an appearance, grabbing LC’s attention. With LC distracted, TLA hits the “Mexican Destroyer” and picks up the win, retaining his championship.

● MarrKade defending their titles against the Grand Prix winners, the Jaded Hearts. Kassidy and Daryl exchanging maneuvers, including Kassidy hitting Daryl with a German Suplex and a springboard Hurricanrana. Charlie comes in and absolutely destroys Kassidy with a clothesline and then does the same to Sienna. Kassidy’s dumped outside immediately followed by a suicide dive from Daryl onto the Jaded Hearts. Kassidy repeatedly slamming Daryl’s head into the post while Sienna targets Charlie’s knee. Sienna then with a beautiful moonsault to the outside taking out both Daryl and Charlie. Kassidy’s insane timing, locking Daryl in her “Neiman Marcus of Wrestling Moves” submission on Daryl mid-slingshot is a featured clip in the video, ending that sequence with Charlie’s insanely stiff kick to her face. Sienna with the “Witches Hammer”, then immediately followed up by the “Beauty Killer” on Daryl for the pin, crowing the new tag team champions!

● Rex McAllister vs Impact. The Barbed Wire Massacre match for the World Heavyweight Championship begins with.. Traditional wrestling? Tie ups, armbars, traditional mat wrestling and suplexes. It doesn’t come off of the hinges until Impact screams at the champion, berating Rex. Rex loses all control and attacks Impact, throwing his rulebook out of the window and using those taped, closed right and lefts to cave in Impact’s face. Impact counters and unleashes his own assault. Impact escapes the ring, looking for a weapon. Rex launches himself over the barbed wire and crashes down on Impact. Impact eventually gets his hands on a trashcan lid and smacks Rex upside the head with it, followed by shots with a barbed wire wrapped kendo stick to the champion! Bulldog onto the steps from Impact, Fireman’s Carry Spinebuster from Rex. Flapjack from Rex to Impact, dropping him right across the top “rope” of barbed wire. Rex snapping a length of barbed wire off with wire cutters and stretching it through Impact’s mouth after applying a camel clutch. The gruesome image captured by multiple angles, blood pouring out of Impact’s mouth after this. Rex launches himself at Impact, but Impact moves and Rex catches himself in the barbed wire ropes. Impact with a Death Valley Driver through the barbed wire board! Rex spears Impact through one of the other Barbed Wire boards. Both men are near dead at this point. Rex locks in the Rex Lock and after a time-elapsed clip, Impact drags himself to the apron and then dumps himself out of the ring. Impact smashing Rex in the face with shot after shot with a singapore cane but still can’t get the three! So instead he places it against Rex’s throat and chokes him out with it!! NEW CHAMPION! #8REIGNZ

● Impact is celebrating his victory… KILL SHOT!!!!!! Impact turns around and eats the Kill Shot from Noah Reigner. Noah slams his briefcase down, getting in the face of the referee. Demanding the cash in! Noah pins the new champion, Impact for the three. NEW WORLD CHAMPION! NOAH REIGNER!

● The highlight video ends with Noah standing with his new World Championship. The theme music cuts off, ending the video with Noah’s voice saying “HOUSE ALWAYS WINS.”

(The camera pans around the Capital One Arena and the fans are on their feet screaming. Pyro explodes and everyone seems excited by the changing of the guard in Elite Answers Wrestling. James Peters and Rich Russillio are sitting behind the broadcast table. They both look extremely excited for tonight’s show.)

James Peters: Ladies and gentlemen, we are live from the Capital One Arena here in our nation’s capital. King of Elite was absolutely insane, capped off by the fact we have a new World Heavyweight Champion in Noah Reigner.

Rich Russillio: Rex McAllister and Impact left absolutely nothing on the table. Both men took it to one another all in the name of the World Heavyweight Championship. Their match was vicious and bloody, and ended when Impact choked out Rex to break his own record of seven title reigns and captured his eighth. However, as we all know, the celebration was short lived.

James Peters: Noah Reigner fulfilled his own personal destiny and cashed in his briefcase, becoming the new face of Voltage in a matter of moments. Rex and Impact are both recovering from their match and neither will be in attendance tonight, but Noah Reigner is here. We’ll see him shortly.

Rich Russillio: Our main event tonight features the National Elite Champion in a showcase match against the Big Bhris Bhampion, Landerson. That promises to be the most interesting match.

James Peters: Xander Payne, Myles, Farrell V, Daryl Kinkade, Korey Gaines, and Denis Ryley are all in action tonight.

Rich Russillio: And perhaps the most important thing is the fact the living legend himself, The Woogieman, is wrestling tonight.

James Peters: :whew:

Rich Russillio: It’s going to be one hell of a show. When we return from commercial, we’ll be hearing from the champ. Stay tuned. We’ll be right back.

(Commercial break highlighting the fact love is love with Chelsea Crowe and Jael. It’s the most appropriate commercial to air when in Washington D.C.)

(When Voltages returns, ring announcer Bella Braxton is standing front and center in the middle of the ring. She is grinning from ear-to-ear and raises the microphone to her red lipsticked lips.)

Bella Braxton: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN… PLEASE WELCOME THE NEW ELITE ANSWERS WRESTLING WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION… THE ASSAULT RIFLE… NOAH REIGNER!!!!

(The crowd begins to boo as “Don’t Stop” by InnerPartySystem begins blasting across the public address system. After a moment, the brand new champion himself emerges from behind the curtain. Noah is joined by his bodyguard, Evelyn Ridley, and together they make their way to the ring. Pure confidence is dripping from Noah and he pats his championship that is resting on his shoulder. House Reigner take their time getting to the ring. This reaction and this moment is the culmination of everything Noah has worked for since joining EAW. He’s enjoying it. He’s soaking it in. He is making sure that every single person gets a good look at him with the World Heavyweight Championship. House Reigner finally make it to the ring, with Evelyn climbing in first and taking the microphone from Bella. Noah is in afterwards, and he poses with the championship for a few moments. The crowd is not receptive whatsoever. They’re still bitter he stole Impact’s moment. Noah’s theme song eventually ends, but there’s no silence from the crowd like there was in Johannesburg. These people are utilizing their right to freely express their disdain for the champion. Noah closes his eyes, allows himself a smile, and holds his hand out for the microphone. Evelyn passes it over.)

Noah Reigner: I get it.

Crowd: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Noah Reigner: No one wanted to see this happen.

(The crowd just unleashes on Noah. Some of it is deserved, yes. But what Noah did was capitalize on an opportunity that presented itself. It’s nothing that hadn’t been done before.)

Noah Reigner: Since the day I stepped foot inside this company, everyone has scorned me. I’ve been called every single name under the sun. I’m not going to sit there and repeat them, because there’s no use in rehashing that. I’ve taken all the criticism and all the hate and used every bit of it to fuel my competitive fire. I’ve never held anything back inside the ring. NO ONE can deny the skill and talent I bring to the table. So many people wanted to look past that and whisper about me. They didn’t think I deserved my place here. They were in an uproar when I was granted the chance to compete in the Cash in the Vault match at Pain for Pride. They truly lost their shit when I did what I said I was going to do and won the actual match itself. Winning it didn’t shut people up though. They still wanted to talk their shit. I was still undeserving. I was the new kid. I didn’t belong. I had no right to have this briefcase. People were real quick to say that when it came time to cash in, I would pick the wrong moment. They all said I would fail. I’ve been compared to countless Elitists, and no one has ever bothered to truly accept me for myself. I’ve NEVER wanted to be the ‘next’ anyone. My entire goal has always been to be the one and only Noah Reigner. When the bell rings, everything else ceases to exist for me. All the comments, criticism, comparisons, whatever… they don’t enter my mind. For me, winning is the most important thing because as long as I take care of my business, nobody can say shit to me.

At King of Elite, I took that bitch SOSA Henderson and I showed him just who the hell I am. I’m not just a wrestler, I’m a fighter, and I always protect what’s mine. Things haven’t been easy since Road to Redemption, but nothing worth having ever is. People tried to break me. SOSA tried to fuck with me. Management refused to help me. Rex tried to belittle me. Impact tried to play games with me. But I overcame all of it. I stood tall and I got the last laugh. I’m the World Heavyweight Champion and there’s not a damn thing anyone on Voltage can do about that. I’ve defeated everyone on this roster so truthfully, I’m not sure who’s going to be able to step up and actually challenge me. But I welcome it. I welcome everyone to come and try, and take what’s mine. You can bet that you’ll end up like SOSA Henderson. I’ll beat you at your own game every single time. None of you are good enough to play me at mine either. I am the new reigning and defending World Heavyweight Champion. If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a thousand times. House. Always. Wins.

(Noah cocks his fingers in a ‘gun’ motion and shoots at the crowd. No worries. The nation’s capital doesn’t believe in gun control anyway. “Don’t Stop” by InnerPartySystem begins to play once again and Noah lifts his championship in the air. Voltage fades to a brief commercial with the image of House Reigner standing tall inside the ring.)

(Commercial break featuring The Woogieman and George Clooney for Creed ‘Green Irish Tweed’ cologne. It’s the perfect cologne for a pure gentleman. A 1.7oz bottle is available at Nordstrom for $295.00.)

(Voltage returns from commercial and focuses in on the ring. Mat Emeralds is already in the ring, getting ready for his upcoming match. Bella Braxton steps forward.)

Bella Braxton: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN… THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR….

Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!

Bella Braxton: ALREADY IN THE RING… FROM NEWARK, NEW JERSEY… WEIGHING IN AT 201 POUNDS… THE HIDDEN GEM… MAT EMERALDS!!!!!

(Emeralds steps forward and raises his hands in the air. Every single person inside the Capital One Arena seem to be on their phones and no one reacts to Emeralds.)

Rich Russillio: Yikes. Tough crowd.

James Peters: Just wait for it…

(“IF YA SMELL” hits the public address system and all of a sudden, the crowd comes alive. Phones are dropped. Beers are spilled. Women start screaming. The living legend, the fucking goat, the greatest thing since peanut butter and jelly reunited… THE MOTHER FUCKING WOOGIEMAN… steps onto the stage. The crowd is so loud for this man that the cheering and stomping registers on the Richter scale, causing Washington, D.C. to experience a small Earthquake. Rich Russillio and James Peters can’t even speak in the presence of such greatness. Both Voltage announcers stand and give Woogie the respect he deserves as he begins walking down to the ring. Inside the ring, Bella places her heart over her chest and takes a deep breath to calm herself. She has a job to do after all.)

Bella Braxton: OHMYGAWD AND HIS OPPONENT… FROM JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA… WEIGHING IN AT A PERFECT 260 POUNDS… HE IS THE LIVING LEGEND… THE WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOGGGGGGGGGGGGGIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!

(The sounds of Woogie’s theme song have been drowned out entirely. As Woogie approaches the ring, a young woman leaps across the barricades and attempts to hug the legend. Security immediately tackles her to the ground before she can lay a finger on Woogie. As she’s being dragged away, Woogie removes his sunglasses, takes a good look at her, and raises his eyebrow at her. She faints.)

(Inside the ring, Mat Emeralds is not at all amused by this display of affection for Woogie.)

(Woogieman slides into the ring, poses for the crowd, and smirks at Bella Braxton. She doesn’t faint, but clearly she’s having a hard time being in the presence of Voltage’s hero. It takes a moment, but Bella finally realizes that she has to get out of the ring. Once she does, the referee calls for the bell.)

(Ding! Ding! Ding!)

James Peters: We simply aren’t worthy…

Rich Russillio: :wow:

(Mat Emeralds immediately rushes towards The Woogieman, looking to catch him off guard! He throws hands and several hammer fists to Woogie, but the blows have little to no effect. The crowd is chanting for Woogie, urging him to take poor Mat Emeralds to task.)

Crowd: WOOGIE! WOOGIE!! WOOGIE!!!

Rich Russillio: AND HERE WE GO! WOOGIE WITH A STRONG RIGHT HAND! AND ANOTHER!! AND ANOTHER!!! WOOGIE BACKS EMERALDS ALL THE WAY AGAINST THE ROPES AND WHIPS HIM ACROSS THE RING!!! CLOTHESLINE! EMERALDS IS TAKEN DOWN WITH A CLOTHESLINE!!!!

Crowd: WOOGIE! WOOGIE!! WOOGIE!!!

James Peters: WOOGIE IS PICKING UP MAT EMERALDS AND HE THROWS HIM ACROSS THE RING AGAIN! MAT EMERALDS ATTEMPTS TO LEAP FROG OVER WOOGIE! BLESS HIS HEART! WOOGIEMAN HAS CAUGHT HIM! HE HITS MAT EMERALDS WITH THAT HUGE SPINEBUSTER!!!

Crowd: WOOGIE! WOOGIE!! WOOGIE!!!

Rich Russillio: OHMYGAWD… HERE HE GOES! WOOGIEMAN IS SIGNALLING FOR THE PEOPLE’S ELBOW!!!!

Crowd: WEORUWOERIUWEKGNDFADFKJSDLF!!!! SLDFJSLDKHFOWEIRUKRGN!!!! SDLKFJSLDFKHJSLDKGJSDOFRE!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! WOOGIE!!! WOOGIE!!!!! WOOGIE!!!!!!!

James Peters: THE PEOPLE’S ELBOW!!! IT CONNECTS!!! IT CONNECTS!!!! WOOGIEMAN DROPS DOWN AND GOES FOR THE COVER!!!!!

OOONNNEEE!!!

TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!

TTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

Rich Russillio: THE WOOGIEMAN WINS! THE WOOGIEMAN WINS!! THE WOOGIEMAN WINS!!!

(“IF YA SMELL” hits the PA system once again and the crowd finds themselves whipped into a frenzy! People are hugging! Kids are crying! A bra flies through the crowd and lands inside the ring! Woogie’s partnership with George Clooney and Creed perfumes have definitely upped his star quality in Elite Answers Wrestlers, not to mention his never say die attitude.)

Bella Braxton: YAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!! HERE IS YOUR WINNER… THE WOOOOOOOOOOOGGGGGGGIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEMMMMAAAAAANNNNNNNN!!!!!!!

(The referee raises Woogie’s hand in the air and gives him a look of pure respect and awe. Woogie climbs on the turnbuckles and celebrates his victory with the crowd as Voltage fades to commercial break.)

(Commercial break featuring Noah Reigner. The new EAW World Heavyweight Champion is working out in Piledriver Athletics gear. Dress like a champion and get yours today!)

(Voltage returns from commercial break and cuts to the backstage area. Veena Adams and the brand new EAW New Breed Champion, The Visual Prophet, are sitting together inside Captain Charisma’s office. Veena is perched on the desk directly in front of Viz, her arms folded across her chest. She is sporting a purple neckbrace today in honor of Viz’s first ever championship reign. Viz is calmly sitting in the chair across from Veena, his championship placed in his lap. Nina Dobrev is nowhere to be found.)

Veena Adams: As promised, you have a nice little bonus check coming your way. You did exactly what we wanted and you went out at King of Elite and delivered. I could not be more proud of you and the fact the New Breed Championship is back on Voltage.

The Visual Prophet: I told you, and everyone else that I would emerge from King of Elite victorious. It wasn’t easy, but I survived, and now I plan on erasing the legacies of ‘The New Breed God’ and ‘The New Breed Queen.’ They will be discarded and forgotten, and replaced with something more powerful; something a lot more beautiful. The landscape of Elite Answers Wrestling is changing, Veena. I’m going to preach my words, and make everyone believe in The Visual Prophet’s vision.

(Viz fixes Veena with a confident, radiant smile and Veena can’t help but touch her heart. They are both so dramatic.)

Veena Adams: Vizzy, Vizzy, Vizzy. Your words. They hypnotize me. That’s so exactly what I need to hear. As you know by now, Matty has decided to be a cuck and throw those nasty bitches on Empire a bone. For whatever reason, he’s decided that you have to defend your championship at the Iconic Cup Supershow on March 14th. That ugly whore Kendra Shamez announced a contendership match for next week featuring Harlow Reichert, Constance Blevins, and Tyler Wolfe. Talk about fucking cringy. Ugh. Personally, I find it complete and total bullshit. That horrific creature Raven had her talons stuck in that belt for way to long, and there is absolutely NO valid reason for Empire to get another shot the New Breed Championship. I thought about calling my Uncle Ryan and getting this decision revoked, but I digress. It’s not like any of them are going to beat you anyway. You are the New Breed Sovereign. You are the savior of that championship. No piece of STD infected Empire trash is ever going to take that from you.

The Visual Prophet: No one is going to take this championship from me period. I have a mission, and I’m going to use this as my platform to make EAW a much better place. If we have to start on Empire, so be it. I’m ready for any and all challengers who might come my way. I will never shy away from anyone because I want absolutely everyone to say AND respect my name.

Veena Adams: Well have no fear. Next Thursday, you and I are going to pay Empire a visit and watch this shitty little contendership match unfold. If those cunts want to play ball with us, we are going to scout them all and be ready for whomever. I’ll never understand why female wrestlers think they belong inside the ring with a man. This bullshit about breaking barriers and shattering glass ceilings makes me fucking sick. The happiest I’ve ever been is when that bitch Hillary lost the fucking election. Imagine how fucking awful our country would be right now?

(Veena shudders at the thought.)

Veena Adams: If I had my way, Empire would be completely secluded from the rest of EAW. There’s a reason they got their own stupid show and it’s so their faces wouldn’t be splashed across the meat and potatoes of this company. They don’t belong on Showdown or Dynasty, and they damn sure don’t belong on Voltage. Kings only!

The Visual Prophet: Led of course by me; The New Breed Sovereign.

(Veena and Viz exchange conspiratorial smirks and the scene inside Captain Charisma’s office fades out.)

(Commercial break for the Ulta Credit Card featuring Kassidy Heart. Apply and max yours out today!)

(When Voltage returns from break, it cuts to the ringside area for the next match of the night!)

(“Crazy Train” by Ozzy Osbourne plays as Korey Gaines makes his way to the ring, energetic as normal.)

Bella Braxton: Making his way to the ring… From, Oklahoma City.. Weighing in at 170 pounds.. KORRREEYYY GAAAAAAAIIIIINNNEEESSS!!!

James Peters: Korey Gaines is nothing short of a free spirit. He does what he wants and nobody can take that away from him, except possibly his opponent tonight.

(“Type-03” by Mick Gordon follows as Denis Ryley walks out to the stage. The crowd starts booing heavily as he makes his way to the ring.)

Bella Braxton: And his opponent.. From Orlando, Florida.. Weighing in, at 204 pounds.. DENISSSSS RYYYYLLLEEYYYY!!!!

Rich Russillio: This guy is nothing short of a mean dude. He doesn’t care what the fans think, but what he does care about is how “selfish” they are. He thinks Gaines is just like them and we’re going to see what he does about it.

(Ding! Ding! Ding!)

James Peters: This match is now underway and the two men circle the ring before getting close enough to lock up. Denis has a slight power advantage over Gaines as he’s getting powered into the corner, but Gaines is able to slip behind him and push Denis into it himself, before Irish whipping him into the opposite set of turnbuckles. Gaines now charges at Denis and attempts a clothesline in the corner but Denis ducks it and hits a German Suplex! Gaines gets back to his feet but he’s shook as he leans into the corner. Denis charges at him but gets a boot to the face before Gaines goes up onto the second rope, and hits a diving dropkick! Denis rolls out onto the apron and Gaines goes towards him to try and pull him up. Denis hits a shoulder block causing Gaines to stumble back. Denis now goes to the top rope himself but Gaines is able to stop him in his tracks, hitting a forearm before climbing up with him!

Rich Russillio: Gaines now, looks like he’s attempting a Superplex, BUT DENIS PUSHES HIM OFF THE TURNBUCKLES!! Denis now regains his position, and he looks at the crowd, as he chooses to climb down from the top rope, and you could hear the disappointment from the crowd. Denis now picks Gaines up, and he tries to throw him into the turnbuckles but Gaines stops himself with his foot, before hitting an elbow to the jaw of Denis. Gaines now with a springboard moonsault, but Denis moves out of the way, but both men are on their feet! Denis charges at Gaines and attempts a Lariat, but Gaines ducks it and hits an enzuigiri! Denis backs up into the ropes and Gaines charges at him, BUT DENIS THROWS HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE!!! Gaines just got sent out of the ring and he crashes into the barricade! Denis now with a smirk on his face as the referee begins the count!

Referee: One!.. Two!.. Three!

James Peters: Korey Gaines starting to get to his feet but Denis now joins him outside the ring, as he hits a clothesline from behind! Denis now throws Gaines into the ring and he goes for a quick cover.

ONE!
T-

James Peters: Quick kick out by Gaines and Denis now holds the Underdog Daredevil in a chinlock. Gaines in trouble now as Denis pulls him to the center of the ring, but Korey is able to get onto a knee, and deliver a snapmare to Denis before hitting a kick to the side of his head! Korey Gaines now going up to the top rope, but he sees Denis get to his feet. Korey though, dives anyway, AND WHAT A MOONSAULT, INTO A REVERSE DDT!! THE COVER NOW BY GAINES AND THIS ONE COULD BE OVER!!!

ONE!
TWO!!
THR-

James Peters: Ryley gets the shoulder up!

Rich Russillio: Gaines tried to put Denis away early to no avail, but it looks like he might succeed this time as he’s once again going up to the top rope, but Denis has yet to move! Gaines now, THE 405!! NO, DENIS MOVES OUT OF THE WAY!!! ROLL UP NOW BY DENIS!!

ONE!
TWO!!
THRE-

Rich Russillio: KICKOUT!! Denis now crawls over to the ropes to pull himself up, BUT GAINES WITH A CLOTHESLINE, SENDING EAW’S MORAL COMPASS OUT THE RING!!! Gaines now backs up to the middle of the ring to catch his breath, but he now charges to the ropes! SUICIDE DIVE BY GAINES!!! Gaines now back into the ring, and he’s urging for Denis to get to his feet! A SECOND SUICIDE DI- OH MY GOD, KNEE STRIKE BY DENIS!! Denis rolls him back into the ring and throws him into the ropes! Gaines bounces off the ropes INTO A SPINNING SOLE KICK!!! DENIS JUST FLOORED GAINES AND NOW HE GOES FOR THE COVER!!

ONE!
TWO!!
THREE-

James Peters: GAINES GETS THE SHOULDER UP!!! Denis is furious as he goes towards turnbuckles! Denis wants to hurt Gaines. He hates him, probably as much as he hates these people, and he wants to make an example of Korey here tonight, but the Underdog Daredevil is still in it as Ryley walks over to him. Ryley using his strength to just drag Gaines up into a suplex position, and it looks like he’s going for the Falcon Arrow but Gaines slips behind! REVERSE FRANKENSTEINER BY GAINES!!! Both men are down after Ryley just got floored by a Frankensteiner! Gaines now uses the turnbuckles to get to his feet, and he’s waiting for Denis to get up, and it looks like he has something in mind! Denis uses the ropes to get to his feet, but it looks like he doesn’t know where he is! Superkick by Gaines! No, Denis moves out of the way, AND THERE’S A SUPERKICK OF HIS OWN!!

Rich Russillio: Gaines is out cold! Denis now covering him and you could see the grin on his face!

ONE!
TWO!!
THREE!!!-

Rich Russillio: GAINES GOT HIS FOOT ON THE ROPE!!! IT’S NOT OVER!! DENIS IS SHOCKED!! Denis is arguing with the referee, he can’t believe what he just saw! That should have been it, but Gaines got the rope break! Denis now just stomping out the unmoving body of Gaines, and he just pushes him out the ring, and I think he’s aiming for a count out!

Referee: One!.. Two!..

Rich Russillio: No, it looks like I was wrong, as Denis goes outside the ring, and tosses Gaines into the barricade! Denis now slamming Gaines head against the apron, and he finally brings him back into the ring! Denis now powering Gaines to the top rope, and what’s he going for here? Denis attempts to put Gaines in a front headlock, but Gaines powers out of it and pushes Denis off the turnbuckles! Gaines gets into position! THE 405 CONNECTS!!! THE IMPLODING 450 SPLASH CONNECTS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING, AND THERE’S THE COVER!!!

ONE!
TWO!!
THREE!!!

(Ding! Ding! Ding!)

Bella Braxton: Here is your winner…. KOORRREEYYYYYY GGGAAAIIIIINNNNEESSSSS!!!

James Peters: Korey Gaines here with quite a win! I’m surprised he was able to pull that off, and you’ve got to wonder what Denis Ryley must be thinking.

(“Crazy Train” starts playing as Korey Gaines gets his hand raised to a crowd of cheering fans, meanwhile Denis Ryley makes his way up the ramp in anger.)

Rich Russillio: I’m sure Denis isn’t happy, he had it won but in the end Gaines was able to get the win, but what, what is he doing? He’s coming back to the ring! Korey look out! SUPER KICK BY DENIS!!! DENIS JUST FLOORED GAINES WITH A SUPER KICK!!!

James Peters: Denis is stomping a hole into Gaines! Someone needs to get out here! Denis now picking Gaines up, AND HE HITS THE FALCON ARROW, BEFORE TOSSING GAINES OUT THE RING!! Gaines is done for!

(EAW referees come running from the back and they pull Denis Ryley off of Korey Gaines.)

Rich Russillio: Ryley just snapped!!!

James Peters: He wants to be seen in a championship light, Rich. It’s not surprising. Douchey, but not surprising.

(Voltage fades to commercial as the EAW referees drag Denis out of the ring and check on Korey.)

(Commercial break for EAW Shopzone. Drake King “OK” T-shirts are currently on sale for 50% off. Get yours today. OK! OK! OK!)

(Voltage returns and the camera fades backstage where Farrell V is seen walking down the corridors before arriving at Captain Charisma’s office, where he knocks twice.)

Farrell V: Mr. Charisma? Are you there?

(Captain Charisma opens the door and his facial expression changes when he sees Farrell.)

Farrell V: Hello, sir. I heard you wanted to talk.

Captain Charisma: That’s right, come on in!

(They both enter Captain Charisma’s office for the week.)

Captain Charisma: Have a seat, please.

(Farrell sits down.)

Farrell V: So…?

Captain Charisma: So lets talk about your ‘unique opportunity.’

Farrell V: :lupe:

Captain Charisma: I can only assume you want to know what it is.

Farrell V: I definitely want to know.

(Captain Charisma smirks.)

Captain Charisma: Well, I’ve been watching your matches and honestly, I’m impressed. You’re one of the best newcomers to our roster, and honestly, it doesn’t surprise me. Nobi was a major player here when he competed for Elite Answers Wrestling and I think it’s fitting that your ‘unique opportunity’ comes in the form of a match for the National Elite Championship.

(Farrell seems a little surprised.)

Farrell V: Wow, seriously?

Captain Charisma: You bet. At our Voltage exclusive Free-Per-View Tempest, it will be Jackson Blayde defending that championship against Farrell V.

Farrell V: Wow. I really don’t know what to say other than thank you. Thank you so much!

(Captain Charisma and Farrell both stand up and shake hands.)

Captain Charisma: Just keep it up. You have a bright future here, Farrell. Never settled. Good luck tonight against Xander Payne.

Farrell V: Thanks Mr. Charisma. Seriously, thank you so much.

(Farrell exits the office and Voltage fades to commercial break.)

(Commercial break for Liberty Mutual Insurance. It’s good car insurance apparently.)

(Voltage returns from break, and cuts to the ring where Bella Braxton is once again standing by.)

Bella Braxton: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN… THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR…

Crowd: ONE FALL!!!

(‘Hair Of The Dog’ by Nazareth begins to play across the PA system. The newly minted number one contender for the National Elite Championship, Farrell V, steps out from behind the guerilla curtains.)

Bella Braxton: INTRODUCING FIRST… FROM INDONESIA… WEIGHING IN AT 235 POUNDS… FA – RELL – V!!!!!

(Farrell does his typical taunts as his name is announced and begins making his way to the ring. The crowd greets him warmly, and Farrell takes a moment to slap a few hands on his way down the ramp. Farrell V slips inside the ring, poses for the crowd, and takes a corner. His theme music fades out and is soon replaced by the theme music for the former New Breed Champion, Xander Payne. ‘It Follows’ by Cane Hill blasts through the speaker as Xander walks onto the stage, scanning the crowd in attendance.)

Bella Braxton: INTRODUCING HIS OPPONENT!!! FROM BRAMPTON, ONTARIO… WEIGHING IN AT 255 POUNDS… HE IS THE PAYNEKILLER… XANDER PAYNE!!!!

(Xander strolls down the ramp, being his typical self, and doesn’t bother to acknowledge any of the fans whatsoever. He eyes Farrell V as he makes his way up the steel ring steps and slips into the ring. The two men come face to face as Bella slips out of the ring, and the referee signals for the bell.)

(Ding! Ding! Ding!)

James Peters: You know, this match is even more interesting now given the fact Farrell V found out earlier tonight that his ‘Unique Opportunity’ is a shot at the National Elite Championship. He’s got to be pumped!

Rich Russillio: Right?! Whenever Jackson Blayde versus Farrell V takes place, it’s gunna be one hell of a match. I can’t wait to see what those two have for one another.

James Peters: But tonight it’s about Xander Payne and Farrell, and you know Xander is looking to change his luck. He’s been struggling to find his identity since dropping the New Breed Championship back at Territorial Invasion. He’s had some tough losses recently.

Rich Russillio: Farrell and Xander are sizing one another up, neither of them making the first move. Xander is running his mouth, as per usual, and Farrell seems content to just let Payne talk himself out. Xander looks frustrated with the lack of reply from Farrell, and he reaches back, slapping the future championship contender across the face! Farrell rubs his jaw and shakes his head, and responds with a slap of his own!

James Peters: XANDER SPITS IN FARRELL’S FACE!!! Farrell responds with a huge right hand and Xander staggers back! Farrell flies forward with a huge boot to Xander’s face and the Canadian slams back into the ropes! Farrell runs forward again and he takes Xander over the top rope with a clothesline!!! Xander hits the floor and quickly climbs back to his feet. But Farrell is running towards the ropes!!! He leaps in the air! Farrell lands on the top rope and launches himself off! FLYING CROSSBODY!!!! FARRELL LANDS ON TOP OF XANDER AND THEY CRASH INTO THE STEEL BARRICADES!!!!

Rich Russillio: FARRELL IS UP AND HE QUICKLY JUMPS BACK ONTO THE RING APRON!!! FARRELL WAITS FOR XANDER TO GET UP AND MOTIONS FOR XANDER TO COME HERE!!! FARRELL RUNS!!! RUNNING DROP KICK OFF THE APRON!!!!

James Peters: BUT XANDER MOVES!!! XANDER PAYNE GOT OUT OF THE WAY!!!!

Rich Russillio: Farrell is back to his knees though! Xander slams into Farrell from behind and begins hitting him with those clubbing blows to the back! Farrell goes down and Xander grabs him by the hair! He slams Farrell’s face off the apron and throws him back into the ring!!! Farrell rolls to the middle of the ring and gets back to his feet as Xander walks up behind him.

James Peters: SPINNING WHEEL KICK FROM FARRELL!!!

Rich Russillio: XANDER DUCKS!!! FARRELL TRIES FOR A LEG SWEEP!!!!

James Peters: XANDER JUMPS!!!!

Rich Russillio: Xander catches Farrell with a knee to the face and he grabs him in a headlock! Xander punches Farrell in the head a few times before sending him across the ring!!! Farrell comes flying back at Xander, and Xander gets the knee up! Farrell is caught in the gut and flips over… landing flat on his back!!!

James Peters: SOMERSAULT LEG DROP FROM XANDER!!! XANDER GOES FOR THE COVER!!!!

OOONNNEEE!!!

TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!

Rich Russillio: Farrell gets the shoulder up before the referee can get to three!!!

James Peters: Xander grabs Farrell by the neck and starts choking him! The referee is forced to step in and he scolds Xander, forcing the Paynekiller to let go of the choke. Xander slowly rises to his feet and pulls Farrell up with him. Xander slams Farrell in the face with a huge right hand!

Rich Russillio: He threw all his weight into that!!!

James Peters: Xander with another right hand!! Farrell finds himself backed into the corner and Xander throws one more right hand that forces Farrell to slump forward! Xander brings Farrell back upright with a huge uppercut, and once again he starts choking Mr. Every Night! The referee once again has to step in and admonish Xander for the choking, but Xander shrugs it off and goes back to work. He walks to the opposite side of the ring and comes running back towards Farrell… FACE WASH!!! He catches Farrell with his foot!!! Xander grabs Farrell by the hair, drags him to the center of the ring, and picks him up in the air!

Rich Russillio: Bridging fisherman’s suplex!!! Xander holds on for the cover!!!!

OOONNNEEE!!!

TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!

TTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEE–

James Peters: Farrell V gets the shoulder up!!!!

Rich Russillio: Xander lets go of the bridge and rolls over. He gets to his knees and shoots the referee a dirty look. Xander grabs Farrell by the hair and slowly pulls him back to his feet. Xander goes to toss Farrell into the corner, but Farrell manages to plant his feet and block! Xander tries again, but Farrell fights back now! He hits Xander with a right hand! Xander replies with a chop to the chest! Farrell fires off another right hand! Xander responds with the chest chop! Farrell with the right!!! Xander with the chop!!! Farrell kicks Xander in the midsection and jumps!!!

James Peters: SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMB!!!

Rich Russillio: FARRELL WITH THE PIN!!!!

OOONNNEEE!!!

Farrell quickly goes to the top rope! I think he’s going to try and finish this match off!!! Farrell is on the top rope now and yes! There he goes!!! FIVE-STAR FROG SPLASH!!!!!

James Peters: XANDER ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY!!!!

Rich Russillio: Farrell crashes to the mat and immediately grabs for his midsection!!! Xander grabs for Farrell, but Farrell rolls out of the ring and drops to the ground! Farrell is attempting to recover from that missed frog splash but Xander is also out of the ring. He heads over to Farrell and grabs him up by the hair. Farrell fights back with punches to Xander’s gut, but Xander fires back with a kick to Farrell’s side! Xander slams his fist into Farrell’s stomach and scoops him up into a powerbomb position!!!

James Peters: XANDER POWERBOMBS FARRELL ON THE EDGE OF THE RING APRON BUT HE MAINTAINS HIS HOLD ON FARRELL!!! XANDER THROWS FARRELL BACK INTO THE RING AND HE CLIMBS BACK IN AS WELL!!! FARRELL CRAWLS OVER TO THE CORNER AND GETS HIMSELF INTO A SITTING POSITION.

Rich Russillio: BUT HERE COMES XANDER PAYNE!!! RUNNING CANNONBALL INTO THE CORNER!!! XANDER GRABS FARRELL BY THE HAIR AND DRAGS HIM TO THE CENTER OF THE RING!!! XANDER REACHES DOWN AND GOES TO SCOOP UP FARRELL…

TTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

(Ding! Ding! Ding!)

James Peters: XANDER JUST CHEATED TO WIN!!!!

Rich Russillio: FARRELL JUST GOT ROBBED!!!!

(Xander doesn’t even bother to wait for the referee to raise his hand. He slips out of the ring, and gets the hell out of dodge. Farrell is back to his feet and glaring at Xander. He can’t believe the way the match ended. Farrell turns to the referee and tries to explain but what happened, but the fact remains the same. Xander Payne scored the victory.)

(Voltage cuts to commercial break.)

(Commercial break for kitchens featuring Gavin Kirkland. He’s standing in a stainless steel kitchen suite. “Picture your favorite Empire Elitist cooking dinner for you here today.”)

(Voltage returns and Xander Payne is shown backstage with Sofia Clarke. The Paynekiller is grinning from ear to ear.)

Sofia Clarke: Xander you demanded this time while we were away. What’s going on? What’s on your mind?

(Xander snatches the microphone from Sofia and shoos her away. He looks directly into the camera.)

Xander Payne: I will tell you and the entire world exactly what is on my mind. Since Territorial Invasion, something has been missing in my life. I went from the highest of highs at Payne for Pride, to the absolute lowest of lows losing my New Breed Championship to Raven Roberts. Since then, I’ve struggled to find my purpose and my focus. I’ve had some really excruciating losses. But the worst moments of my career have got to be losing to Myles twice. Myles is nothing in the grand scheme of things. He’s nothing more than a flavor of the month that’s eventually going to go stale. I’ve said it before, and I will say it again. Myles isn’t special. You want to know who’s special? I’m special. I’m the real deal, and I’m demanding that Captain Charisma give me the chance to prove it. I’ve had to watch the same people compete for the World Heavyweight Championship over and over again. I’ve been forced to watch Drake King get handed world championship opportunities on Showdown despite the fact I’ve defeated him. Then there’s the shitshow that is Dynasty. Lucas Johnson got himself a world championship shot. Are you kidding me?

(A look of disgust crosses Xander’s face over that last statement.)

Xander Payne: I’m stepping up and I’m taking what I deserve. Forget Rex, Impact, Charlie, Daryl, and Myles. Especially Myles. Please forget him forever. I want the first shot at Noah Reigner. So Captain Charisma, make the match. Give all of us something fresh, new, and exciting. And most importantly, give me what I deserve. Give the former New Breed God a chance to show that he can compete at that next level. I’ve worked my ass off for 15 years in this business. I have adapted my style to fit any opponent who gets thrown my way. I’m smart inside that ring. I have what it takes, and I’m taking what I deserve.

(Xander pauses and rakes a hand through his sweaty hair.)

Xander Payne: I’m coming for Noah Reigner and I’m taking the World Heavyweight Championship.

(Xander looks confident and drops the microphone. He walks out of the camera shot and Voltage fades back to the ringside area.)

(Bella Braxton and every single fan inside the Capital One Arena are ready for the next match!)

(“Enemy Strike” by Yuki Hayashi starts playing as Myles makes his way down to the ring, receiving cheers from the energetic crowd.)

Bella Braxton: Making his way to the ring.. From Melbourne, Australia.. Weighing in at 208 pounds.. MYYYLLLEEESSS!!!!!

James Peters: Myles had an impressive showing at King of Elite, defeating Drake King and Xander Payne in what was nothing short of a war, and now Myles aims to continue this momentum to defeat Daryl Kinkade!

Rich Russillio: Drake and Xander have both said what they said about Myles, calling him overrated, and that he doesn’t deserve his spot, but he’s here to show us why he does deserve his place on Voltage!

(“Snakeskin” by Example follows as Daryl Kinkade makes his way down the ramp, as the fans continue cheering to a slightly lessened degree.)

Bella Braxton: And his opponent, from Norwich, England.. Weighing in at 200 pounds.. DAAARRYLLLL KKIIINNNNKAAADDEEE!!!!

Rich Russillio: This man however, didn’t have as good of a night as Myles. Him and Charlie Marr lost their tag team championships, but now he aims to get back on track here tonight.

(Ding! Ding! Ding!)

James Peters: The bell has rung, and this one is now underway! The Myles looking for a lock up, but Kinkade gets behind him, knowing the Soldier has the power advantage. Daryl now, attempting a German Suplex on Myles, but Myles is able to power Kinkade over his shoulder with a hip toss, and now the two start to lock up! Myles is able to power Kinkade into the corner and he holds him there until the count of 5, before backing off. Myles once again looking for a tie up but Kinkade with a school boy roll up!

ONE!
TWO-

James Peters: Myles kicks out and Daryl attempts a roundhouse kick but Myles ducks it before kipping up, AND THERE’S A KNEE STRIKE!! DARYL IS OUT AS MYLES ATTEMPTS A QUICK COVER!!

ONE!
TWO!-

James Peters: And there’s the kick out by Daryl early on!

Rich Russillio: Myles, the winner of the Triple threat grudge match at King of Elite, now looking to defeat one half of the former tag team champions. Myles now holding Kinkade in a rear chinlock, and Daryl is struggling to get back into this. Daryl though, manages to get to one knee, before slowly getting to both feet, and now Myles attempts a German Suplex! Daryl landed on his feet though, and he hits an enzuigiri, sending Myles into the corner, stunned! Kinkade now charges at him and he hits a European uppercut, but he’s not done there! Kinkade now, it looks like he’s attempting a suplex but Myles with a punch to the midsection, before hitting one of his own! Myles now getting to his feet and he takes a second to breath before going back to Kinkade, who drops him with a drop toe hold!

James Peters: Myles just got taken down by Kinkade but Daryl needs some time to gather himself after that suplex from Myles. Myles uses the ropes to attempt to get to his feet but Daryl now just attacking him on the ropes, and he’s just beating him down until the referee is forced to separate them! Daryl now dragging Myles to his feet, and he attempts to throw him into the turnbuckles! Myles puts his foot on the turnbuckle to stop himself though, before connection with an elbow! Myles now grabs Kinkade by the back of the head, and he slams him face first into the top turnbuckle! Myles now, attempts to throw Daryl outside the ring, but Daryl stays on the apron! Daryl now with a shoulder block to Myles, and there’s the slingshot spear! Cover now by Daryl!

ONE!
TWO!-

James Peters: Myles gets the shoulder up, and Kinkade puts him into a headlock! Now it’s the Soldier who finds himself in trouble as he’s trying to power himself to his feet. Myles reaches out to the ropes but he’s too far, and slowly he gets to his feet, before attempting a back suplex!

Rich Russillo: Kinkade flips out of it though, and there’s a roundhouse kick! Kinkade now goes out to the apron once again and he’s telling Myles to get up to his feet! Myles slowly does just that, but he doesn’t know where he is! AND DARYL WITH THE DKO- WOW, MYLES WITH A KNEE STRIKE TO DARYL, TAKING HIM RIGHT OUT THE SKY!!! MYLES WITH THE COVER NOW!!

ONE!
TWO!!
THRE-

Rich Russillio: KICK OUT BY KINKADE!!! Wow, Kinkade went for that springboard cutter, but Myles hit him with a knee strike, right to the head! Myles now is dragging Kinkade to his feet, and it looks like he’s ready to put this one away! He lifts him up for the De Facto, BUT KINKADE TURNS IT INTO A CRUCIFIX!! HE ROLLS HIM UP!!!

ONE!
TWO!!
THREE-

Rich Russillio: AND MYLES KICKS OUT NOW!!! Kinkade though immediately picks Myles up! AND THERE’S A CRADLE DDT!!! ANOTHER COVER NOW BY KINKADE!!

ONE!
TWO!!
THREE!-

Rich Russillio: HOW IS HE DOING THIS!? MYLES KICKS OUT ONCE AGAIN!!

James Peters: Kinkade now holding his head after that knee from earlier, and you can just see it in his face! Daryl can’t believe Myles kicked out! Daryl now going to the top rope! What’s Daryl thinking here? THE ANGEL OF THE EAST!!! THE RED ARROW CONNECT- BUT WAIT!! MYLES GETS THE KNEES UP!!! MYLES GETS THE KNEES UP, AND NOW BOTH MEN ARE DOWN!! Daryl now rolling outside of the ring, and he’s hurt! Myles on the other hand, he’s getting to his feet with the help of the ropes, and he has that look on his face! Myles now runs towards the ropes, AND HE GOES FOR A TOPE CON HILO, BUT DARYL GOT OUT THE WAY!!! MYLES JUST CRASHED RIGHT INTO THE BARRICADE!!!

Rich Russillio: Myles is out of it and Kinkade now is just pulling his body into the ring, and now he goes for what might be the last pin or this match!

ONE!
TWO!!
THREE!!!-

Rich Russillio: MYLES ONCE AGAIN!! GETTING THE SHOULDER UP!! Kinkade asking the ref if that was it’s over! No, this match is still on! Kinkade now dragging Myles up, and what’s he going for? Kinkade now holding him in a front headlock and he attempts to cross the legs, but Myles shoves him away, AND DOWN GOES THE REF!! THE REFEREE IS OUT OF IT, BUT KINKADE WITH A SUPERKICK!!! Kinkade goes up to the top rope now, and what’s he doing? The referee is down! ANGEL OF THE EAST CONNECTS!!! Daryl now noticing the ref isn’t there, but wait, what? Who just hopped the barricade?

James Peters: Some hooded man just hooped the barricade, meanwhile Kinkade is now dragging Myles up, looking to hit one more big move on him but he needs to turn around! DARYL TURN AROUND!!! DISCUS CLOTHESLINE!!! THE CHARING CROSS CONNECTS!!! IT WAS CHARLIE MARR!!!! CHARLIE MARR JUST HIT KINKADE WITH THE CHARGING CROSS, AND NOW MARR PUTS MYLES OVER DARYL!! Marr rolls out of the ring, AND THE REFEREE IS GETTING BACK INTO THE RING!! NOT LIKE THIS!!! THE REFEREE STARTS THE COUNT!!

ONE!
TWO!!
THREE!!!

(Ding! Ding! Ding!)

Bella Braxton: Here is your winner…. MYYYYYLLLEEESSSSS!!!!!!

(“Enemy Strike” starts playing as Myles rolls out the ring, barely able to even walk. He gets out of the ring as Kinkade lays there, with Marr looking under the ring.)

Rich Russillo: What’s Marr.. Is that..? NO! MARR’S GOT A STEEL CHAIR!! MARR’S GOT A STEEL CHAIR AND NOW HE’S JUST BEATING THE LIFE OUT OF KINKADE WITH IT!!! THERE’S NO WAY THIS IS REAL!!

James Peters: MARR NOW IS JUST BEATING DOWN THE FACE OF KINKADE, HE’S BEATING HIM INTO NOTHING BUT A FACE FULL OF BLOOD, AND HERE COMES SECURITY!!!

Rich Russillio: These two lost their Tag team titles at King of Elite, but I didn’t think this would happen! Why Charlie!? Security now dragging Charlie out, but just look what he’s done to Daryl!

James Peters: I am fucking shook.

Rich Russillio: What the fuck did we just see?

(Charlie Marr doesn’t fight security as they drag him up the ramp. His cold blue eyes are locked on the mess he’s left of Daryl Kinkade.)

(Voltage has no choice but to fade to break.)

(Commercial break for EAWFANFIC.EDU. Now featuring several wonderful stories about EAW’s hottest new couple… Ravex.)

(Voltage returns from commercial break and the focus is on Stephie Love standing in the backstage area.)

Sofia Clarke: Ladies and gentlemen. Please welcome my guest at this time… Lethal Consequences.

(Lethal Consequences steps into the frame. Sofia looks up at him and offers a polite, yet professional smile.)

Sofia Clarke: LC, a few weeks ago on Voltage yourself and the Prince of Phenomenal stepped inside the ring and faced off for the right to face TLA at King of Elite for the Openweight Championship. There was an incident during that match that could have very well left POP severly injured. What was going through your head when you tried to take him out?

(LC can’t help but roll his eyes.)

Lethal Consequences: I was trying to win the match. There wasn’t any particular thought that was going through my head. I wanted the number one contendership for the Openweight Championship and nothing was going to stop me. POP was in my way, not that he was ever really deserving of the chance. That’s why I stepped out to try and save TLA’s open challenge. In my opinion, Daniels should have just given me the opportunity over POP, but hey. It’s whatever. The point is, I won that match fair and square and had it not been for that disgruntled, washed-up piece of shit I would be the Openweight Champion right now and looking for my first opponent.

Sofia Clarke: It’s definitely fair to speculate that POP’s interference in the Openweight Championship match was calculated. He showed up for a reason and in the end, cost you the chance to hold gold here again in EAW. What’s next for the two of you?

(LC shrugs.)

Lethal Consequences: I mean, I can’t help but ask myself over and over, didn’t we already do this? I’m not gonna be the one who forces people into a boredom induced coma because they’re seeing the same shit repeated. POP and I have had our battles. I think I’ve more than shown that I’m a much better wrestler than he is. Hell, I’m more relevant than he could ever hope to be. POP belongs in 2012, or whenever the hell it was he last mattered to this company. WE HAVE ALL MOVED ON. I’m moving on. There are several big events coming up and I plan on headlining at least one of them. I might have missed out on the Openweight Championship thanks to that jealous headass POP, but I will get myself another World Heavyweight Championship shot.

Sofia Clarke: So you’re not going to try and get back at POP for what happened at King of Elite?

Lethal Consequences: I think we have all seen POP suffer enough. He nearly got upstaged by Jason McKormick in the King of Elite finals. There was no way he was ever going to be able to hang with Ripley or Jones, and he had to watch another man get crowned king at his expense. POP’s best days are behind him. You’ve heard his pointless psychobabble. Dude needs to hang it up, and hey. I don’t always want to be the villain. I’m not a bad guy. It’s not up to me to shoot Old Yeller. Nope. I’m willing to let bygones be bygones this time around, and we can both move on. You can guarandamntee that Lethal Consequences won’t be stepping foot inside the ring with the Prince of Phenomenal again this season.

(LC pauses and a thoughtful look crosses his face.)

Lethal Consequences: Unless Captain Charisma throws some incentive on the line.

(Sofia furrows her brow.)

Sofia Clarke: What do you mean, LC?

Lethal Consequences: Sofia, I’m a star. Everyone wants to see Lethal Consequences continue to compete inside the ring. But I’m also a businessman, and I’m not going to let someone like POP continue to try and make his money off of my name for free. Personally, I think another match between the two of us would be boring. BUT I know how Captain Charisma operates. He’s going to try and force us to face off once again because he’s deluded enough to think it’s something people want to see especially after what happened at King of Elite. If he decides to go that route and make LC versus POP, then he needs to know that I’m not stepping into that ring for free. Voltage needs Lethal Consequences. Lethal Consequences doesn’t need Voltage.

Sofia Clarke: Are you refusing to compete on Voltage?

Lethal Consequences: I’m not refusing to compete on Voltage. Don’t get it twisted, sister. I’m refusing to keep doing the same thing over and over, with no pay off. There’s a difference. I enjoy competing, but I need a challenge, and POP ain’t it, Sofia. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have better things to do.

(LC brushes past Sofia and heads off camera. Sofia watches him go, and Voltage fades back to the ringside area.)

(Bella is standing by, ready to introduce the competitors for the main event of the night!)

Bella Braxton: The following match is your main event match and is a special Champion vs Bhampion match.

( “Here Comes the Boom” by DMX hits the speakers first. The crowd shoots to their feet when El Landerson emerges onto the stage. The Big Bhris Bhampionship strapped tightly around his waist as he hops around, hyping up the crowd as he usually does.)

Bella Braxton: Introducing first; from San Jose, California – he is the Big Bhris Bhampion – EL LANDERSON!

Rich Russillio: There he is, James. The reigning Big Bhris Bhampion. He has a lot on his plate tonight. He’s stepping up to a whole other class of talent.

James Peters: I’m not going to discredit Landerson, Rich. He’s defeated Woogieman a number of times and we all know that he has his eyes set on bigger and better things. He wants the National Elite championship.

Rich Russillio: If, and I do mean IF, he gets past Jackson – maybe he could be in contendership for it .. but we’ll see how he fairs tonight.

(By now Landerson has climbed into the ring, mounted the corner and is posing for the crowd as he hoists his bhampionship up in the air. Once he climbs down, he hands over his bhampionshp and is instructed to wait in his corner.)

James Peters: Rich, we’re just getting word there’s a whole security force entering the arena.

Rich Russillio: For what purpose? This is delaying us from this match of the year candidate.

(The aforementioned security force can be seen entering the floor level of the arena. A total of maybe ten, fifteen secret service looking guards making a path, moving fans and bystanders to the side. Once there’s a path to a pair of seats directly in front of the barrier, the first guard seen brings up his arm and says something into his sleeve where a microphone is placed. And as if on cue, “Hail to the Chief”’ begins to play over the sound systems.)

Rich Russillio: WAIT!

James Peters: That’s the music for the President of the United States. That’s Hail to the Chief, Rich!

(Everyone’s attention turns to the floor entrance when a spotlight shines down, illuminating the images of United States President, Donald Trump, and first lady Melania Trump.)

Rich Russillio: THAT’S THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED FREAKING STATES, JAMES! STAND UP! SHOW SOME RESPECT!

James Peters: Uh… I’ll pass….

Rich Russillio: EXCUSE ME!?

(President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump are escorted to their seats, Donald occasionally waving to a few people as he walks. Once they approach their seats, Melania is the first to sit with Donald doing the same a few moments later after he shook the hands of a few staff and crew workers. Once President Trump was settled, “Hail to the Chief” expertly faded into Rick Derringer’s “Real American”.)

Rich Russillio: It all makes sense now! The President of the United States America is here to see the President of the United States of Blaydemerica!

Bella Braxton: And introducing his opponent – from Memphis, Tennessee – he is the National Elite Champion .. JACKSON BLAYDE!

(Jackson is, of course, accompanied by Jazmin Garcia whom holds his championship cradled in a showcasing way against her chest.)

James Peters: Here comes the National Elite champion, and he just oozes arrogance Rich.

Rich Russillio: Why shouldn’t he? He’s one of the hottest stars on the roster. Not to mention having Jazmin by his side, and the National Elite championship – why wouldn’t he ooze arrogance? He’s living his best life, and it’s a million times better than ours.

James Peters: I’m not going to argue that.

Rich Russillio: Good, because that’s a fight you would lose.

(Jackson leads Jazmin down the ramp, but instead of climbing into the ring, Jackson circles around and stops where Donald Trump is seated.)

Rich Russillio: Rumor has it that Mr. Blayde and Mr. Trump have had a few meetings this week about a secret idea Jackson’s idea.

James Peters: A meeting of Presidential minds, Rich?

Rich Russillio: Absolutely.

(Once there, Donald stands up and shakes Jackson’s hand. The two have a brief exchange, before hugging. Melania and Jazmin share a brief hug as well.)

Rich Russillio: And now the President’s have become best friends. We can all only wish for a friendship like that.

James Peters: The first ladies are also sharing an embrace. This business relationship has turned personal and it’s seem to have worked. Blaydemerica and America partners in battle? Oh, lawd!

(Jackson smiles and turns back to the ring, entering through the ropes. He marches to the corner where Landerson stands, shoo’s him out of the way, and mounts the corner with his arms spread – mouthing “I am a real American.” in time with the song. After a moment he climbs down..)

Rich Russillio: JACKSON LOOK OUT!

(DING! DING! DING!)

James Peters: Before Jackson could even turn around, Landerson on the attack. Hitting Jackson with a big dropkick to the National Elite champion’s back, pushing him chest first into the corner. Landerson quickly back to his feet and continuing the attack with forearm clubs – but they don’t look to even be affecting Jackson.

Rich Russillio: Not at all, because he’s a frickin’ Prodigy, James. Look at that! HUGE Back elbow from Jackson, dislocating that Lucha-jaw for sure.

James Peters: I don’t quite think so, Rich. But it was effective nevertheless. Landerson backing away, holding his jaw gives Jackson plenty of time to jump on the offense – taking Landerson down with a lariat that buries the Big Bhris Bhampion.

Rich Russillio: Stomping away at him now, Jackson is not happy about being the recipient of that cheap shot. You don’t treat the President like that, and Landerson is learning that the hard way. Jackson uses that stupid mask to pull him up, only to showcase that power and DRIVE Landerson back into the mat with a gutwrench powerbomb!!

James Peters: NO!! Once Jackson flipped him into the powerbomb position, Landerson countered with a Hurricanrana takedown! Landerson’s back up, hitting the ropes and sprinting back.. Jackson’s up.. Tilt-a-Whirl .. Headscissors .. Takedown!! Jackson’s body is whipped to the ground and he rolls underneath the bottom rope to the outside of the ring.

Donald Trump (Off Mic): Jackson, this guy is the worst and biggest loser of all time. Send this illegal back home!

Rich Russillio: :damn: Looks like President Trump is giving Jackson words of encouragement. Jazmin is also yelling at Jackson as he returns vertical. She was yelling for him to.. MOVE!! LANDERSON CRASHES AND BURNS! Jackson Blayde looked up just in time to see Landerson trying a springboard Crossbody to the outside, and Landerson lands hard on the floor.

James Peters: Jackson doesn’t waste time, grabbing Landerson and rolling him into the ring. Landerson is up though.. BASEBALL SLIDE DROPKICK! The speed of Landerson is being showcased now. Jackson’s a step behind, even after Landerson crashed and buried two minutes ago.

Rich Russillio: Jackson is not happy at all. Swearing and kicking the steel steps after that. But Landerson going back to the well… hitting the ropes and rolling senton dive over the top rope!! CAUGHT!! THAT IMPRESSIVE POWER AGAIN BY JACKSON, CATCHING LANDERSON AND… THROWING HIM INTO THE STEEL POST!!

Donald Trump (Off Mic): That was the greatest move of all time!!!

James Peters: Jackson officially putting Landerson back into the ring now and entering himself. The self-proclaimed ‘New Face of EAW’ grabbing Landerson up only to put him back down with a big German Suplex! Landerson’s body folded in half, but he manages to flip over and sit in the corner to recoup.

Rich Russillio: Recoup? Do you think the National Elite champion is going to let him rest?! Ha!

James Peters: I guess you’re right. Jackson runs in with a hard knee to Landerson’s face. Landerson’s now crumbled up on the floor, but Jackson isn’t finished. Lifting the Big Bhris Bhamp up again.. BEALE STREET BACKBREAKER!!

Donald Trump: No! THAT Was the greatest move of all time! My friends, THAT was the greatest move ever!

(Donald Trump claps loudly as he stands, looking around at all of the fans around him.)

Rich Russillio: Jackson drags Landerson into the middle of the ring, carelessly stepping on his chest with his arms in the air. Triumphantly!

(ONE!
TWO!!
TH—)

Rich Russillio: BLASPHEMY!! How did he kick out of that!?

Donald Trump (Shouting. Off Mic): FAKE NEWS!

James Peters: Well, for one – the cover was very lax. And two – Landerson isn’t going to give up that easy. He’s already battling back up to his feet. Jackson throws a right hand, and Landerson dodges it, kicking Jackson in the leg.

Rich Russillio: Frustrated, Jackson tries again! NO! Landerson blocks the punch, chopping the National Elite champion in the chest once. Twice. Three times! Backing him to the ropes. Now Landerson grabs him to whip him across the ring to the ropes.

James Peters: Jackson reverses – whipping Landerson across the ring. Landerson comes back.. BASEBALL SLIDES UNDERNEATH JACKSON’S LEGS .. REVERSE HURRICANRANA!!!! Before Jackson could spin around, Landerson was back up to his feet and hit that reverse Rana, spiking Jackson’s head into the mat. Landerson pushing Jackson onto his back and hooking the leg. COULD HE STEAL THIS?!

(ONE!
TWO!
KICKOUT!)

Rich Russillio: Kickout by THE CHAMP. There was no way Landerson was going to finish the match with that.

James Peters: Landerson has moved onto the apron and waits for Jackson to return to his feet. He launches himself up, springboarding off of the top rope while Jackson is doubled over .. Landerson comes down, grabbing his head and spikes him down with a FACEBUSTER! X-FACTOR STYLE! Wow, what a move.

Rich Russillio: Yeah, good move .. but not even THAT is going to be enough for our Leader, Mister Blayde.

James Peters: Landerson has moved Jackson up to his feet again, only to jump up and hit a dropkick to the National Elite champion. Jackson doesn’t drop, but instead he is pushed back into the corner. Jazmin slaps her hand on the mat, causing Landerson’s focus to cut to her. Jazmin stare is like shooting daggers. Landerson FINALLY puts his head back in the game and charges into the corner..

Rich Russillio: JACKSON CATCHES HIM AS LANDERSON LEAVES HIS FEET FOR A SPLASH! STO BACKBREAKER ONTO HIS KNEE! IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWED BY A NECKBREAKER!! This is why Jackson is the leader of the masses in Blaydeamerica! :whew:

James Peters: Jackson has a look in his eye of pure hate now. In his mind Landerson wasn’t supposed to put up this much of a fight. Jackson’s stormed across the ring and stands waiting for Landerson to pull himself up..

Rich Russillio: BLAYDE RUNNNNEEEERRRRRRR!!!! Jackson just nearly decapitated Landerson with that running knee!!!! Damn! But he’s not done! Grabbing Landerson up again… CROWN BREAKERRRR!!!!!!

James Peters: Jackson just unmercilessly drove Landerson’s head into the mat with that signature package piledriver. He’s rolled Landerson into a cover now too..

(ONE!
TWO!
THREE!)

Bella Braxton: Here is your winner – the National Elite Champion – JACKSON BLAYDE!!

James Peters: Jackson pulls out the win..

Rich Russillio: Was there any question?

(Donald Trump and Melania have gotten to their feet and are clapping for Jackson!)

Donald Trump (Off Mic): Bravo! Bravo!

James Peters: It didn’t come with some fight from Landerson, though. … but wait! It looks like Jackson isn’t finished! He’s mounted Landerson and hammering him with punch after punch after punch.

Rich Russillio: Good! Teach him a lesson for speaking out against the President of Blaydemerica!

James Peters: Jazmin’s grabbed a chair and slid it into the ring now. This is going to get ugly quick. Someone’s got to do something about this..

Rich Russillio: BAM!!! Jackson just cracked Landerson in the head with that chair after letting him up to his feet!

James Peters: Look at that chair! It’s dented! Eesh, what a shot.

(Donald Trump throws a fist in the air.)

Donald Trump (Off Mic): YES! YES!!! Send that little freak back to Mexico!!

Rich Russillio: Jackson has tossed the chair away and kneels over Landerson’s body. He’s unstrapping the mask and pulling it up.. YES UNMASK HIM! TAKE A TROPHY OF YOUR KILL, PRESIDENT BLAYDE!!

*CRACK!*

James Peters: FARRELL V HAS JUMPED OVER THE BARRIER AND SUPERKICKS JACKSON BLAYDE IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD BEFORE HE CAN PULL LANDERSON’S MASK OFF!!

(The crowd erupts, ecstatic that Farrell has come out to save the day! Meanwhile, President Trump is furious.)

Donald Trump (Off Mic): You have got to be kidding me!! This is an outrage!!

Rich Russillio: Jackson’s down! No!! Farrell what are you doing?! Get down!!

James Peters: Farrell has climbed up to the top rope, no doubt looking for that Five Star Frog Splash! … Jackson’s arm is pulled by Jazmín on the outside!

Rich Russillio: THAT IS WHY SHE’S THE FIRST LADY, JAMES! Getting Jackson out of there before anymore damage could be done. Very smart!!

(Farrell climbs down from the top rope, quickly moving over and kneeling next to Landerson, checking on him. Jackson and Jazmin walk backward up the ramp, Jackson never removing his eyes from Farrell. Even going as far as taking his championship from Jazmin and lifting it high into the air.)

(EAW logo buzzes.)
