(EAW intro plays.)
(Voltage fades into a highlight video of last week’s incredible episode.)
(RECAP: The Voltage recap begins with the confrontation between Rex McAllister and his Pain for Pride opponent, the EAW World Champion, Andrea Valentine. The common theme between these two Elitists who will headline Pain for Pride on the Voltage side seems to be the number three. Rex has stated that the third time will be the charm for him, while Andrea has politely reminded him that twice he’s come up short at Pain for Pride and that twice he has come up short against her. Rex clapped back by telling Andrea that while she has gotten him twice, both wins have come due to surprise roll-ups and she has yet to prove she can hit a finisher on him and pin him for the three count. In response, the champion was real quick to put Rex down with a leaping variation of the ‘Atomic Blonde’ and made sure she slapped her hand down on the mat for a three count while pinning Rex, forcing the soon-to-be Hall of Famer to eat his words.)
(RECAP CONTINUES: The first match of the night was between SEBAS and Seth Osiris. Both talented Elitists found themselves with a chance to earn a contendership match for the Interwire Championship on next week’s Voltage. It was a hard fought, back and forth battle between both men, but in the end, it was SEBAS who earned the victory over Seth. In another extremely competitive match featuring young talents, the Future Mr. 24/7, Maxwell, would continue his winning ways by scoring a win in the triple threat bout that also featured Conor Ryan and Cameron Clark.)
(RECAP CONTINUES: The Grand Athletes were seen arguing a bit before their match against Jesse Barlow and Colby Sol, now known as The Covenant. Limmy Monaghan and Mark Macias both know they need to be on the Pain for Pride card, and both want to compete for the Unified Tag Team Championships. They decide to use their match against the number one contenders to send a message to Fire and Ice. Unfortunately, the match doesn’t go as planned for The Grand Athletes. Thanks to the usual fuckery from the Barlow camp, Limmy found himself pinned by Colby. Later on in the night, Captain Charisma would set up a match for the next Voltage featuring Limmy and Colby, with The Grand Athletes getting added to the Unified Tag Team Championship match at Pain for Pride should Limmy pull off the win.)
(RECAP CONTINUES: Two Cash in the Vault qualifying matches took place on Voltage, and in typical Voltage fashion, the stakes were raised in each of them. Captain Charisma would change each match to a ladder match that featured a golden ticket to Pain for Pride hanging above the ring. For two athletes like Ms. Extreme and Komatsu Ogawa, this type of match was right up their alley. They went to war, with Ms. Extreme finally coming out on top and keeping her dreams to become the Universal Women’s Champion alive after coming up short during the Fighting Spirit’s No Way Out match. In the second Cash in the Vault qualifying match, Jack Ripley was able to overcome an amazing challenge from someone who’s becoming one of Voltage’s most talked about competitors in Gavin McArdle. Jack took one step closer to achieving his own world championship dreams, and with his qualification, the 2020 Cash in the Vault line-up was set!)
(RECAP CONTINUES: Earlier in the evening, the Interwire Champion, Consuela Rose Ava, approached Terry Chambers in regards to him wanting to chase the Interwire Championship once again. The exchange between the two of them was a mix of tense and emotional, with the two really giving the EAW Universe the impression that there was more between the two of them than a simple friendship. Consuela couldn’t promise Terry that she wouldn’t take this personally, and that gave him something to think about as he went into his match against Cepheus St. Claire. These two would leave it all in the ring, but ultimately it would be Terry who would emerge victorious and move on to face SEBAS next week with a chance at the Interwire Championship on the line.)
(RECAP CONTINUES: Prior to his match against the EAW Specialists Champion, Sarah Price, New Breed Champion, Jalyn Garcia, would address the situation left between himself and Dynasty’s Andre Walker. For Jalyn, the amount of contenders isn’t something that concerns him but he’s curious as to why people seem to get rewarded for crying. Jalyn knows the match at Fighting Spirit didn’t end under the best of circumstances, but he’s confident that come Pain for Pride, he will successfully retain his championship against both Bronson and Andre. The interview would get interrupted by Shawn Sturgis and Komatsu Ogawa. Both men would state their case for why they wanted a chance to get added to the New Breed Championship match at Pain for Pride. Jalyn would tell them if they wanted it, they could earn it like everyone else, and suggested the tag team partners face each other next week. Sturgis and Ogawa agreed, and Jalyn headed off to his match against Sarah. He would be victorious in that match as well, as one of Sarah’s opponents in the Specialists Scramble, Constance Blevins, would brutally attack the champion and cost her the win. Kasey Kaos and Kensingten Calhoun-Astor would also make their presence felt, and it would be Kensingten left standing tall when all was said and done.)
(RECAP CONTINUES: The Voltage main event featured Malcolm Jones going up against Shawn Sturgis. With his long awaited clash against Charlie Marr just a couple of week’s away, Malcolm was looking to get himself a solid victory and get some momentum under his belt after a string of no contests and fucky losses. The former EAW World Champion took the rookie to task, but like always, Sturgis handled everything Malcolm had and continued to impress the EAW Universe. Malcolm would end up winning the match thanks to ‘Shake The Room’ followed by his version of the Frog Splash.)
(The recap finally concludes and Voltage fades inside the Performance Center. “33rd Blakk Glass” by Sosmula & Zillakami is pumping through the speakers and the small crowd in attendance is full of energy. Gold and white pyro explodes from the stage and the camera cuts to the broadcast booth where Rich Russillo, James Peters, and Persephone Tsitsipas are standing by. Rich and James are wearing their typical slacks, sports coat, and custom T-shirts. This week’s shirt is in honor of the Specialists Champion, Sarah Price. It features the graphics of ‘To Catch A Spookyman’ and has the little cartoon character of Sarah on it. Beside them, Persephone wears an extremely raunchy dress that hugs every curve of her body and has a plunging neckline. Rich can’t help but stare as Persephone doesn’t even know Voltage is the air. She is taking selfies.)
James Peters: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the second to last episode of Sunday Night Voltage for Season 13!!!
Rich Russillo: We have a heck of a line-up for you, which is something I always seem to say! But it’s always true! We aren’t going to waste any time either. Charlie Marr is kicking us off tonight!
Persephone: Wait, are we on air?
(“It Ain’t Safe” by Skepta begins to play, and the camera cuts to Bella Braxton, who is standing inside the ring.)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen… please welcome ‘The Libertine’ Charlie Marr!!!
(Charlie steps on stage, sans Jordie, and is met with a massive negative reaction. The bearded beauty flips the crowd off and starts making his way down the ramp.)
James Peters: With Charlie set to square off against his rival, Malcolm Jones, in just a couple of weeks at Pain for Pride, you have to wonder where his mind is at. These two have been at one another’s throats since Malcolm returned at Road to Redemption and assisted Andrea in dethroning Charlie.
Rich Russillo: Barbed Wire Massacre IV will be perhaps the most personal and violent one of them all so far, and I can’t wait to see what kind of punishment Malcolm and Charlie put one another through. Charlie has participated in two of the three Barbed Wire Massacre matches thus far, and a lot of people are giving him the advantage going into this grudge match at Pain for Pride.
(It’s presumed Persephone is still taking selfies because she doesn’t offer anything to the conversation. Charlie has gotten into the ring now and taken the phone from Bella. After his music dies down, he takes a moment to soak in the reaction of the modest crowd. Even though there’s only a handful of people in the crowd, they are loud, and a slow smirk spreads across Charlie’s face.)
Charlie Marr: Music to my ears. People fear what they can’t conquer and I love it. I might not give a fuck about the EAW Universe but I sure did miss being reminded that all you jealous motherfuckers can’t stand to see me succeed. So many of y’all wanted me to crack under the pressure of being the top dog, but I shouldered the weight of this sinking ship and have continued to carry Voltage on my back. There’s a reason Captain Charisma blew my phone up last week and that’s because this fucking brand needs me. The ratings are already pretty shitty, but when I’m not live and in this ring, things get worse, and even though I was forced to be here tonight, I’ll do my job like the fucking professional that I am and get inside the ring… with an alien.
(A disgusted look crosses Charlie’s face and he shakes his head in disbelief.)
Charlie Marr: Of all the stupid fucking things to be subjected too… this pretty much takes the cake. I thought for sure we got rid of all the extraterrestrial life forms when Malcolm Jones’ sex tape with Payton Darkstar was about to get leaked, and Astraea Jordan was throwing a fit over it. I’m not one to judge, but tentacle sex and alien porn just isn’t my cup of tea, but if Malcolm likes, I love it for him. Whatever floats your boat, ya know?
Charlie Marr: Speaking of Malcolm, people can’t stop hyping up Barbed Wire Massacre and Pain for Pride, and I even saw some bizarre ass comments about this match being posted online. One comment that really stuck out to me is that this match is about to be the prime example of what every black man should do to a white police officer. Now, I really take offense to that. Now before you social justice warrior pansies try and take my head off, let me clarify something real quick. I’m all for black lives mattering and all that crap, but don’t think for even a second that I’m going to let Malcolm Jones make some kind of bullshit example out of me :mjlol: Give me a break! Malcolm Jones regularly simps for white women, greedily gobbled up some unseasoned chicken in catering the other week, and I saw him pass on watermelon and go straight for grapes and cantaloupe. Malcolm Jones is not the type of man who should represent any race, especially one that is being featured in the media right now. Malcolm Jones is a pussy, and not only does he suck as a person, he sucks at being a man, and he damn sure isn’t the example the African American race has been looking for in these troubling times. Like I said, black lives do matter, but his doesn’t.
Crowd: :skip:
Charlie Marr: I said what I said. The life of Malcolm Jones doesn’t matter.
(Charlie strokes his sexy beard while he paces around the ring.)
Charlie Marr: I’m going to end that bitch once and for all come Pain for Pride, and I’m going to take a lot of satisfaction in doing so. Barbed Wire Massacre is a match I glamorized and it’s an environment I can’t fucked with in. When you couple that with the fact I literally OWN Malcolm Jones, you have all the makings of another Charlie Marr classic match. Trust me, I would much rather be competing for the EAW World Championship, but god knows anything would be fucking better than watching cock sucking slut and the man who regular takes Raven’s strap on compete for the most prestigious championship in our industry. At least, that’s how the EAW Championship was looked at when I held it. The second Andrea’s whore hands touched it, the value of the belt diminished greatly but I digress. Next season, bet Charlie Marr will get his hands on his second world championship.
???: You not even gunna survive Pain for Pride :mjlol:
(All attention turns towards the stage where Malcolm Jones now stands. No theme music, no introduction. The former world champion stands there and just looks completely disgusted to be in the same building as Charlie Marr and who can blame him after everything these two have been through with one another.)
Malcolm Jones: I thought about just rushing down there and beating the shit out of you, but that would be a little too easy. Your ignorant remarks are nothing more than bait, and I’m not engaging you in what you want at this moment in time. At this point, I know you’re going to do or say whatever you can to try and get inside my head, but here’s a newsflash for you, you fucking bozo, you’ve never been inside my head. You might have taken the EAW World Championship from me last August, but you never killed me, nor did you destroy my will and desire to continue on my journey in this sport and continue burying the entitled and ungrateful motherfuckas we got in this company. Pain for Pride ain’t gunna be pretty for either of us, but I’m willing to bet that it’s gunna hurt you a hell of a lot more than it’s gunna hurt me. I been waiting for this chance to ether the fuck out verbally and then beat your ass for the hell of it, and that’s finally happening two weeks from now. It doesn’t shock me that a shitshow of a match such as Barbed Wire Massacre is your type of thing. It’s the only type of match that can hide your shitty fucking wrestling skills and give you a chance to use weapons legally. Good thing I’m the type of person who loves being better than everyone else and gets extreme satisfaction from beating ignorant cacs at their own game.
Malcolm Jones: You on borrowed time, my guy, because only one of us is walking out of Pain for Pride under our own power and bet that’s gunna be me, as I raise my fist in the air because I am black and I am proud, and fuck anyone who doesn’t respect that. You keep talking your shit and making this even more personal because I’m not holding anything back come Pain for Pride. I headlined back to back events, and not I gotta be forced down to the bottom of the card because of the caliber of my opponent. That shit’s a slap in my face, but at least I’m gettin’ a good payday outta it and the chance to end you once and for all. My life does matter, if for no other reason than to end yours. Bitch.
(“Scenario” by Pop Smoke begins to play and Malcolm Jones drops the microphone. He throws his middle finger up at Charlie before turning and walking back to the back. Charlie stares daggers at him and that’s when Voltage fades to the first commercial break of the night.)
(Commercial break.)
(The camera fades into the arena as Bella Braxton is seen in the middle of the ring)
James Peters: Coming up next! We have an explosive tag match featuring the legend himself The Woogieman as he teams up with Hrithrik Bacali, making his debut here tonight along with several others trying to make a name for themselves before the new season starts. They will be facing off against Irish lad Gavin McArdle as he teams alongside a newcomer also, by the name Conor Ryan. Without further due…
Bella Braxton: LADIES AND GENTLEMAN THE FOLLOWING MATCH IS A TAG TEAM SET FOR ONE FALLLL!!!
(‘Dhoom Again’ by Vishal Dadlani begins playing through the speakers as the monstrous Bacali emerges out onto the stage as he stops at the top of the ramp with a mean look as he gazes at the small crowd as you hear loud chants of boos.)
Bella Braxton: INTRODUCING FIRST WITH A COMBINED WEIGHT OF 498 POUNDS….HRIIITHHHRIKKKKK BBAACCLLAALLLIIII!!!! AND HIS TAG TEAM PARTNER THEEEEEE WOOOOOOOOGOOOIIIIEEEEMAN…
James Peters: Coming all the way from India to grace us with his presence and teaming with no one better the The Woogieman. I can see this being a legit team in the future.
(‘Dhoom Again’ by Vishal Dadlani cuts quick as ‘If Ya Smell’ By Adam Massar hits and out struts the man himself The Woogieman as he stops and gives Bacali a dirty ass look before heading to the ring as Bacali follows. Woogie hops the apron and climbs through and up the corner turnbuckle as he raises one hand in the air as he looks up the ceiling.)
Rich Russillo: You can see it in Woogie tonight that he’s through with fucking around, after this match he wants something more then just a pat on the back.
(‘A Real Hero’ By Electric hits the speakers as you hear a rumble of motor as a motorcycle rolls out on the stage and gases it a few times rumbling the stage as he he kicks the stand and turns the bike off as he quickly makes a beam line to the ring sliding in as he rushes the ropes and bounces off as ‘The Body of an American’ by The Pogues cuts ‘A Real Hero’ as Gavin McArdle heads out on to the stage and doesn’t bother to make the pit stop at the top as he just walks straight toward the ring with pure determination on his face.)
Bella Braxton: INTRODUCING THEIR CHALLENGERS WITH A COMBINED WEIGHT OF 418 POUNDS THE TEAM OF GAVVVVVIIIIIN MCCCCCCARDLLLEEEEE AND RYYYYYYYANNNN CONNNNNNNERRRRRRR.
Rich Russillo: Gavin has made it known that he doesn’t trust anyone in a tag match so I am really eager to see how this plays out tonight.
Persephone: Does it really matter?! Everyone in this match thinks they got what it takes to be the next big thing, but the truth is, there’s no next, it’s only Rex. Let’s stick to the facts, Rex is the best.
Rich Russillo: Well Persephone everyone has their opinions, and as they…
Persephone: Don’t start with me tonight.
(Gavin then enters the ring and heads straight for the corner and tells Conor to get the fuck out the ring, that he’ll handle it.)
James Peters: Well it looks like it’s going to be Gavin and…What? Are you shittin me, Woogie and Bacali are over there playing paper, rock, scissors…and it looks to me as if Hrithrik Bacali has won the toss..HAHAHA
(Woogieman proceeds to give Bacali the finger and tells him to take a back seat. Bacali begins to argue with Woogie as the ref calls for the bell.)
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Rich Russillo: Before Woogie can turn around he’s met by a clothesline that sends him to the ground..Gavin not giving a shit takes Bacali off the apron with a forearm. Gavin quickly goes back to Woogie pulling him to his feet…GAVIN THEN GOES FOR A IRISHWHIP TO THE CORNER BUT WOOGIE COUNTERS IT SENDING GAVIN CHEST FIRST INTO THE TURNBUCKLE…CONOR RYAN WITH THE BLIND TAG AS WOOGIE DELIVERS A HARD CLOTHESLINE TO THE BACK OF THE NECK OF GAVIN SENDING HIM FACE FIRST TO THE MAT. WOOGIE STOPS TO PRAISE HIS WORK, BUT LOOK CONOR RYAN IS ON THE TOP ROPE AND SENDS A MISSLETOE DROPKICK SENDING WOOGIE ROLLING OUT OF THE RING. CONOR RYAN SEE’S WOOGIE ON THE OUTSIDE AS HE LOOKS TO RUN THE ROPES BUT NO BACALI GRABS AN ANKLE STOPPING CONOR IN HIS TRACKS…CONOR UP AND OVER THE TOP ROPE CRASHING DOWN ON BACALI ON THE OUTSIDE.
James Peters: CONOR QUICKLY ROLLS IN TO THE RING GOES STRAIGHT FOR WOOGIE, BUT WOOGIE DRAGS A LEG OUT FROM UNDER CONOR STANDS QUICKLY TO DROP AN ELBOW BUT CONOR SEE’S IT COMING AND ROLLS OUT FROM UNDER AND QUICKLY LEAPS FOR A TAG BRINGING GAVIN BACK IN AS WOOGIE COMES UP FOR A CLOTHESLINE…GAVIN DUCKS TURNS AROUND AND SLUGS THE FUCK OUT OF WOOGIEMAN, NOW WOOGIE WITH A RIGHT HAND…GAVIN WITH ANOTHER WOOGIE GOES FOR ANOTHER BUT GAVIN DUCKS AND LANDS A HARD CHOP AS WOOGIE BACKS OUT TO THE ROPES.
Persephone: This match has gone longer than I expected. It’s going to be a long night, even with Rex not being featured in the main event…What the fuck is all that about, anyways?
James Peters: Well Rex is facing Mark Macias tonight.
Persephone: WHO?
Rich Russillo: GAVIN QUICKLY GETS TO WOOGIE…GAVIN THEN PUSHES WOOGIE OFF THE ROPES AND WHIPS HIM ACROSS THE RING TO THE OTHER ROPES AND BOTH MEN MEET IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING WITH GAVIN DELIVERING A DEVASTATING T-BONE SUPLEX. GAVIN QUICKLY DRAGS WOOGIE AWAY FROM THE BOTTOM ROPE AND HOOKS A LEG.
OOOONNNNNNEEEEEE!!!!! TTTTWWWWWOOOOOO!!!! THREE……
James Peters: BACALI QUICKLY THROUGH THE ROPES FROM THE OUTSIDE WITH THE BREAK UP SAVE…BACALI GOES STRAIGHT TO STOMPING ON GAVIN AS THE REF TRIES TO PULL HIM OFF…NOW WOOGIEMAN TAKING THE ADVANTAGE BY LAYING IN A FEW BEFORE PRESSING DOWN ON THE HEAD OF GAVIN USING THE ROPES AS LEVERAGE WHILE THE REF GETS BACALI BACK TO HIS CORNER. NOW CONOR RYAN IS IN THE RING DELIVERING A MULTITUDE OF KICKS TO THE LEG ANG MID SECTIONS AS GAVIN FINALLY MAKES IT TO HIS FEET…GAVIN AND RYAN USING THE 2 MAN TEAM TO THE ADVANTAGE WHILE REF IS TRYING SO HARD TO GET BACALI UNDER CONTROL. GAVIN WITH A BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX CONOR WITH A VICTORY ROLL AND BAM! WITH THE DOUBLE FOOT STOMP TO THE CHEST OF WOOGIE. REF TURNS TO SEE GAVIN GOING FOR THE PIN BUT BACALI FOLLOWING THE REF RIGHT BACK IN AND LANDS A HARD STOMP TO THE BACK OF GAVIN’S HEAD BREAKING THE COUNT BEFORE IT EVEN STARTS.
Rich Russillo: NOW CONOR IS IN THE RING TRIES TO RUSH BACALI BUT IS MET WITH A CLOTHESLINE TURNING HIM INSIDE OUT AS HE SLOWLY ROLLS OUT OF THE RING…NOW GAVIN WITH AN AX HANDLE SMASH TO THE BACK OF BACALI, BUT THAT ONLY JUST PISSED THE LAST KING OF INDIA OFF AS HE GIVES A SINISTER LOOK TO GAVIN AS GAVIN LAYS IN A KNIFE EDGE CHOP, BACALI SHAKES IT OFF AS HE RETURNS ONE BACK BUT WOOGIE IS BACK UP AND DROPS GAVIN IN A NECKBREAKER…BACALI QUICKLY EXITS THE RING STRECHING HIS HAND OUT FOR A TAG AS WOOGIE TRIES TO GATHER HIMSELF. BOTH WOOGIE AND GAVIN BOTH LOOKING FOR A TAG….
James Peters: GAVIN SEE’S THAT CONOR RYAN HASN’T MADE IT BACK TO THE CORNER BUT WOOGIEMAN FINALLY GETS THE TAG TO THE FRESH MAN AS GAVIN SEE’S THAT IT IS JUST HIM GOES TO RUSH BACALI BUT IS MEET IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING WITH A BIG SPEAR. BACALI QUICKLY BRINGS GAVIN TO HIS FEET AND SETS UP FOR A SUPLEX..HE LOOKS TO BE STALLING HIM UP THERE SO ALL THE BLOOD RUSHES TO THE HEAD.
Persephone: If the man wasn’t stupid enough, Bacali going to let all the blood rush to the head and just make him just as stupid as he looks. Might as well just drop him on his head. Bacali has had him up there for almost a minute, the sheer power of this man. BACALI THEN DROPS BACK SLAMMING GAVIN TO THE GROUND…QUICKLY PUTS A FOOT OVER GAVIN’S CHEST AS THE REF GOES FOR THE COUNT.
OOONNNEEEE!!!! TTTWW….
Rich Russillo: KICK OUT BY GAVIN..AS BACALI GOES STRAIGHT FOR GAVIN BRINGING HIM TO HIS FEET. The Woogieman looks to be looking for a tag but Bacali just ignores him with a dirty look. BACALI IS HOLDING GAVINS ARM AS HE SLAPS THE CHEST OF GAVIN THEN WHIPS HIM IN TO THE ROPES BACALI OFF THE ROPES, WOOGIEMAN WITH A TAG..BACALI NOT HAPPY WITH IT, TURNS TO WOOGIE AS GAVIN COMES BACK ACROSS THE RING SMASHING IN TO THE BACK OF BACALI KNOCKING HIM IN TO WOOGIE SENDING HIM OFF THE APRON. GAVIN WITH A SCHOOL BOY ROLL UP. REF DOESN’T GET A CHANCE TO GET DOWN FOR THE COUNT BEFORE WOOGIE COMES IN BREAKING THE COUNT UP, NOW CONOR RYAN BACK IN THE RING AS COMES IN WITH A FLYING FOREARM TO WOOGIE. BACALI PULLING CONOR OFF SENDING HIM ACROSS THE RING WITH A HIP TOSS.
James Peters: Both Bacali and Woogieman are now face to face exchanging words, as the ref is trying to get Woogieman out since Bacali is the legal man, Gavin is now up and tries to rush both men but was only able to catch Bacali as both men crash in to the middle turnbuckle. Conor rushes Woogieman but is caught with a multiple of right hands landing the last one sends him down to the ground rolling out onto the ground. THIS MATCH IS GETTING OUT OF CONTROL AS IT LOOKS LIKE WOOGIEMAN AND BACALI ARE FACE TO FACE AGAIN IN THE RING EXCHANGING WORDS.
???: STOP! STOP!
(Out walks Captain Charisma as stops at the top the ramp. As all four men in the ring give their attention to the stage.)
Captain Charisma: STOP! Woogie – Bacali! Since the both of you can’t seem to get your ego’s out of the way and work as a team, and from the sounds of this small crowd they are not liking the way this match is going.
Persephone: GOOD! I am glad Mr. Daniels is putting an end to this match. Just that much sooner to see Rex show all these noobs what a true technical wrestler is like in the ring.
(as he addresses the small attendance)
Captain Charisma: I know you guys are sick of this match already so I will do all of us a favor. This match is no longer a tag team match.
(Bacali and Woogie both go back to a stare down as both Conor and McArdle both stand on each side.)
Captain Charisma: The bell will be rung again, but now this match is a fatal four way. Good luck guys may the best man win.
(Captain Charisma turns away and walks back leaving all four men confused as they start staring each other down.)
James Peters: Captain Charisma came out here and made it known that these 4 men are not going to ruin a great night. 50 lucky fans are sitting in this arena right now and they been waiting 3 months for this.
Rich Russillo: That’s right. Ladies and gentlemen this match is now a fatal four way, anyone can now win this match. The Captain made a bold choice in changing this match and for the better. This crowd is hype now.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Rich Russillo: All four men measuring each other up as Bacali rushes Conor..CONOR DUCKS THE BIG FOREARM DROPPING DOWN FOR A BASEMENT DROPKICK TRIPPING UP THE BIG GUY. WOOGIEMAN GOES FOR CONOR RYAN, BUT GAVIN SNEAKS UP BEHIND WOOGIE AND GRABS HIM AROUND THE WAIST, LOOKING FOR A GERMAN SUPLEX BUT NO WOOGIE WITH A BACK ELBOW, THEN ANOTHER GAVIN LET’S GO STUMBLES BACK TO THE ROPES. NO ESCAPE FOR WOOGIE AS HE’S MET WITH A KICK TO THE GUT BY BACALI. WOOGIEMAN GOES FOR A RIGHT HAND BUT IT’S BLOCKED AND BACALI WITH AN OPEN HAND SLAP TO THE CHEST SENDING WOOGIEMAN STUMBLING BACK TO ONE KNEE. BACALI THEN CLOTHESLINES GAVIN OVER THE TOP ROPES SENDING GAVIN TO THE GROUND OUTSIDE.
James Peters: He tried really hard to grip that top rope but it just slipped right through his finger tips…CONOR RYAN WITH LEFT KICK TO LEG THEN LEFT TO THE OTHER LEG CONOR SPINS AROUND FOR ROUNDHOUSE BUT BACALI CATCHES HIS LEG AND SWOOPS HIM UP LOOKING FOR A MILITARY PRESS. BACALI ROTATES AROUND SEE WOOGIEMAN MAKING HIS WAY TO HIS FEET AND TOSSES CONOR OUT OF THE RING RIGHT ON TOP OF GAVIN AS BOTH MEN CRASH TO THE FLOOR.
Rich Russillo: BACALI QUICKLY RUSHES WOOGIEMAN AND IS CAUGHT STRAIGHT INTO A FLOATING POWERSLAM. BACALI AND WOOGIE ARE BACK TO THEIR FEET AS WOOGIE LIFTS BACALI OFF HIS FEET STRAIGHT DOWN IN TO A ATOMIC DROP SENDING BACALI DANCING AROUND THE RING HOLDING HIS BALLS THEN WOOGIE WITH A RUNNING LARIAT KNOCKING BACALI TO THE MAT. GAVIN SLOWLY MAKES HIS WAY INTO THE RING AS WOOGIE GOES TO PULL BACALI UP GAVIN SLAPS WOOGIE’S SHOULDERS AS IF HE IS TELLING HIM TO WORK TOGETHER TO PUT HIM DOWN.
James Peters: BOTH WOOGIE AND GAVIN BOTH GRAB UP BACALI FOR A DOUBLE SUPLEX AS THEY LIFT BACALI UP AND DROP BACK IN TO THE SUPLEX WOOGIEMAN GOES STRAIGHT INTO A COVER BUT BEFORE THE REF CAN GET THE COUNT STARTED GAVIN BREAKS THE PIN BY PULLING WOOGIEMAN OFF. GAVIN NOW QUICKLY GOES FOR THE COVER…WOOOGIE PULLS GAVIN OFF BEFORE THE REF HAS A CHANCE TO COUNT.
Rich Russillo: Both men are up in each other’s face before Gavin shoves Woogie back. Woogie comes in for a clothesline but gavin ducks…GAVIN GRABS WOOGIE BY THE BACK OF THE HEAD AND DROPS HIM IN A NECK BREAKER. GAVIN BASEBALL SLIDES KNOCKS BACALI OUT OF THE RING. GAVIN QUICKLY GOES FOR WOOGIE BUT IS MET WITH A BOOT TO THE STOMACH AND DROPS GAVIN IN A DDT, JUST BEFORE HE CAN GET IN THE COVER CONOR COMES IN FOR CLOTHESLINE KNOCKING WOOGIE TO THE GROUND…CONOR RUNS THE ROPES PENALTY KICK…
James Peters: CONOR JUST LANDED THE PK ON WOOGIE. WOOGIE QUICKLY ROLLS OUT OF THE RING OUT FOLLOWS GAVIN. CONOR LOOKS AND SEES AN OPPORTUNITY. CONOR RUNS THE ROPES BUT IS TRIPPED UP BY BACALI ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE RING. BACALI THEN DRAGS CONOR OUT OF THE RING. BACALI THEN MILITARY PRESSES CONOR UP AND DROPS HIM DOWN ACROSS HIS FACE ON THE APRON BEFORE SLIDING HIM BACK IN TO THE RING.
Rich Russillo: BACALI QUICKLY PULLS CONOR RYAN UP TO HIS FEET BUT CONOR QUICKLY KICKS BACALI IN THE LEG THEN FOLLOWS WITH A FURY OF DIFFERENT KICKS THEN ROUNDHOUSES BACALI TO HIS GUT SLUMPING HIM OVER. CONOR GOTS BACALI SET UP FOR A POWERBOMB. BACALI LOOKING TO FIGHT IT BUT DOESN’T QUITE HAVE THE STRENGTH TO LIFT..O WAIT CONOR JUST TOOK ADVANTAGE OF BACALI’S BACKDROP SETTING HIM UP PREFECT FOR A DESTROYER…HE JUST HIT BACALI WITH THE BRIGHTON DESTROYER. BACALI IS LAID OUT. OH WOOGIEMAN OUT OF NOWHERE JUST HIT CONOR WITH A SUPERKICK. CONOR FALLS STRAIGHT BACK AND LANDS ON BACALI. HE’S KNOCKED OUT…WOOGIEMAN DROPS TO THE GROUND..THAT WAS A DESPERATE KICK, BUT I DON’T THINK HE REALIZES HE JUST DROPPED HIM RIGHT ON BACALI.
REF DROPS FOR THE COUNT…
OOONNNEEEE!!! TTWWOOOOO!!!!
(Woogieman just realizes what he has done as he tries to leap to break the count. Just misses as the ref hits the final count.)
THHHHRREEEE!!!!
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Persephone: What a dumbass. He literally just cost himself the match. I’ve always said Woogie was about as dumb as a box of rocks.
Bella Braxton: HERE IS YOUR WINNER VIA PINFALL! CONOOORRR RYYYYAN!!!!!!!
James Peters: Well I gotta give it to Conor Ryan coming out here and picking up his first win here in EAW, and his debut match at that.
Persephone: Yea, Whatever. Wait till he thinks he’s strong enough to go against my Rexy. Rex will smash anyone who tries to think otherwise.
Rich Russillo: Given that this match started out as a tag match, I gotta give it to all four of these guys, it will definitely put a reminder in other Elitists’ that if you aren’t doing your job The Captain will make sure you do.
(‘Higher’ plays up as Conor Ryan pulls himself up to his feet. He has a smirk on his face as he celebrates around the ring and gets his hand raised by the Ref, He energetically goes to the top rope and looks around the crowd keeping the smirk on his face as the camera fades out and cuts to commercial break)
(Voltage returns from break and cuts to the ringside area.)
( ‘Black Honey’ by Thrice blasts through the speakers to the crowd’s displeasure. They are quick to boo him as Mitsubachi arrives on the entranceway. He stares at the audience with a bold smirk on his face before marching down towards the squared circle. )
Bella Braxton: INTRODUCING FIRST! From Soko, Saitama, Japan, weighing in at 187 pounds… “THE SILENT ANIMAL”, MIIIIIIITTTTTSUUUUUUBAAAAAAACCCHIIIIIIIIII!!!!
Rich Russillo: Mitsubachi has been extremely impressive as he’s already established himself as one of the rising stars of Voltage along with his rival, Dray Fontana. Obtaining a singles victory over Jack Ripley will definitely raise his stock value and will gain him that much needed momentum walking into Pain For Pride 13.
( ‘BxMxC’ by BABYMETAL echoes throughout the performance center and is accommodated by an eruption of cheers. Jack Ripley steps out onto the stage with a confident smile on his face and makes his way down towards the aisle and into the ring. )
Bella Braxton: AND HIS OPPONENT! From Las Vegas, Nevada, weighing in at 202 pounds… “THE STRAIGHT SHOOTER”, JAAAAAACCKKKK RIPPPPPPPPPPPPPPLEEEEYYYYYY!!!!
James Peters: Jack Ripley defeated Charlie Marr in that hellacious Unsanctioned Match and what better way to cap off a successful return to the Voltage shores is to secure that Cash In The Vault briefcase. Winning that briefcase will definitely fasten Ripley to an uphill trajectory, but first he must test his waters against Mitsubachi. Ripley is able to learn and feel out one of his Cash In The Vault opponents tonight, but this is also an opportunity for him to make a statement and prepare himself for the other six opponents at Pain For Pride.
( DING! DING! DING! )
Rich Russillo: This contest is now officially underwa- DAYLIGHT SLAYING TIME!! MITUSBACHI DROPS DOWN TO THE CANVAS AS RIPLEY QUICKLY GOES FOR THE COVER!!
ONE………………………. TWO………………………….. T-
James Peters: BACHI POWERS OUT AT TWO!! “The Straight Shooter” immediately nailed MITSUBACHI with that patented “Daylight Slaying Time” running knee strike out of the blue and that for sure, could’ve been it for the Japanese upstart. Ripley quickly now cinches Bachi into a cravate hold, which drastically changes the pace of this match from that knee at the speed of light into the technicalities of this craft.
Rich Russillo: That is why Jack Ripley is considered as one of the most excellent, proficient athletes in Elite Answers Wrestling. He can do it all. He’ll knock you out cold with a superkick, he’ll choke you with a sleeper hold, and he can flatten you with a shooting star press. Ripley’s versatility cannot be underestimated and the agility that Ripley demonstrated ten seconds after the bell rang is an essential to have coming into that hellacious Cash In The Vault match.
Persephone: Ugh, why did he kick out?
James Peters: Bachi attempting to escape out of the cravate, but Ripley has it locked in tight. RIPLEY SWINGS HIS LEFT FOOT AND DROPS DOWN!! AND PROJECTS BACHI ACROSS THE RING WITH A RELEASE CRAVATE SUPLEX!! Bachi is reclined against the ropes while Ripley rebounds from the opposite side and charges into him!
Rich Russillo: BACHI SHOOTS OFF THE GROUND AND STICKS A YAKUZA KICK ONTO THE BULLSEYE! RIPLEY IS STAGGERED!! Bachi emerges up to his feet and sprints into the ropes. Ripley sidesteps him, rebounds off the ropes and FLIPS RIPLEY OVER WITH A BEAUTIFUL HURRICANRANA!! Bachi stumbles into the corner and Ripley immediately follows up with a knife-edge chop across the chest.
James Peters: “The Straight Shooter” continues to riddle the chest of “The Silent Animal” before he wrenches his head and drops him down with a snap mare takedown. BACHI FLIPS ONTO HIS FEET AND CLOCKS RIPLEY WITH A DISGUSTING BACK ELBOW!! Ripley didn’t see that coming as Bachi now rebounds offs the ropes and back into Ripley….. BUT GETS CAUGHT WITH A PRECISION DROPKICK FROM “RIP DADDY”. RIPLEY CRAWLS OVER FOR THE SIDEPRESS COVER!! COUNT IT REF!!
ONE…. TW-
Persephone: KICK-OUT! Komatsu Ogawa should just not bring his shoulder up because he’s clearly not going to win this match.
Rich Russillo: Well, we don’t know for that sure. Ripley hooks Bachi up and hammers him down with a snap suplex. He climbs to the middle turnbuckle and is now perched! Bachi is seated upright in the middle of the ring, recalibrating his thoughts whereas RIPLEY FLIES OFF THE MIDDLE TURNBUCKLE! AND DRILLS BACHI DOWN WITH A DOUBLE-KNEE METEORA!!
James Peters: WAIT WHAT. BACHI USED THE MOMENTUM OF RIPLEY COMING DOWN AND ROLLED “THE STRAIGHT SHOOTER” RIGHT INTO A MODIFIED ONE-LEGGED BOSTON CRAB! BRILLIANT COUNTER AS BACHI NOW SITS IN ON THE LOWER BACK OF JACK RIPLEY!!!
Persephone: TAP OUT!! TAP OUT!! HE’S WAVING HIS ARMS!! THAT MEAN HE’S TAPPING OUT!! REF!!
James Peters: Ripley uses his free foot to try and soften the grip by nailing Mitusbachi with upward kicks. Bachi releases the boston crab to grab both legs, turn him around and SIT DEEPLY INTO A FULL-FLEDGED DOUBLE-LEGGED BOSTON CRAB!! “The Silent Animal” now has the complete boston crab submission hold locked in and this may now fare well for Jack Ripley!
Persephone: BUT RIPLEY TWISTS HIS BODY IN AND CRADLES BACHI TO THE GROUND!
ONE…. TW-
Rich Russillo: BACHI REVERSES AND CRADLES RIPLEY INTO THE GROUND!!
ONE… TW-
James Peters: RIPLEY POWERS OUT, BUT BACHI MAINTAINS THE CRADLE GRIP, HOOKS HIS LEG, AND PLUCKS HIM OFF THE CANVAS!! FISHHERRRRMANNNN BUSTERRR!!! A DEADLIFT VARIATION OF BACHI’S SIGNATURE FISHERMAN BUSTER AS HE NOW HOVERS OVER AND HOOKS BOTH LEGS!! FOR THE WIN!
ONE………….. TWO……….
Rich Russillo: RIPLEY POPS HIS SHOULDER UP AT TWO!! Mitsubachi showcasing his brute strength here on Voltage as he now pulls him up to his feet by his tights and DECKS THE BACK OF HIS HEAD WITH A VICIOUS EUROPEAN UPPERCUT!! Ripley drops down onto his knees while Bachi grabs his head, perhaps looking for an inverted ddt of sorts and lifts him up. HE REBOUNDS HIS LEGS OFF THE MIDDLE ROPE… AND USES IT TO LIFT HIM UP!! SLINGSHOT INVERTED SUPLEX!! NO!! RIPLEY USES THE MOMENTUM TO FLIP OVER, LAND ONTO HIS FEET AND SLAM BACHI ON THE BACK OF HIS NECK WITH AN INVERTED DDT!! COVER!!
ONE… TWO….
James Peters: BACHI GETS HIS SHOULDER UP!! Ripley forces Bachi into the corner and squashes him into the turnbuckles with a leaping corner forearm smash. He then proceeds to throw him into the opposite corner and BLAST HIS CHEST WITH A RUNNING OPEN-HAND CHEST!! HE THEN PUTS HIM DOWN WITH A SNAP MARE TAKEDOWN AND CLOCKS THE SIDE OF HIS HEAD WITH A BASEMENT, SLIDING DROPKICK!! COVER!
ONE…. TWO….
Persephone: YES!! NO!!! WHY!?!??!?
James Peters: “The Silent Animal” still has a lot of left in the tank to give in this match. Ripley pulls Bachi up to his feet and nails him with a spinning heel kick to the midsection. It drives the air out of the chest of Bachi and sends him down onto one knee. “The Straight Shooter” rebounds off the turnbuckles and dashes into BACHI! BACHI WITH A KOUTOUBU KICK OUT OF NOWHERE!! THAT POWERFUL ROUNDHOUSE KICK THAT SENT RIPLEY DOWN ONTO THE BACK OF HIS HEAD AS BACHI NOW GRABS HIM AND COILS HIS ARMS AROUND HIS WAIST!
Rich Russillo: BACHI HOISTS HIM UP FOR THE GERMAN SUPLEX!! NO!! RIPLEY SLAPS HIS WRIST, TWISTS AROUND AND SPIKES HIM WITH A SNAP DDT!! RIPLEY VAULTS HIM OVER FOR THE COVER!! BACKPRESS COVER!!
ONE… TWO…. T-
James Peters: KICK-OUT! I believe Jack Ripley was looking to connect with a second “Daylight Slaying Time” knee, but Bachi saw it coming and decimated him with that roundhouse kick. However, Ripley was able to escape out of that precarious circumstance and gained control with that DDT.
Persephone: If McAllister was Jack Ripley, he would’ve never been hit with that roundhouse.
Rich Russillo: Ripley rises up to his feet as Bachi is getting up to his feet. Ripley drops him down with another spinning heel kick to the midsection and steps through the ropes. He clutches the top rope with both hands while Bachi is staggered! ROPE-ASSISTED ENZIGURI!! WAIT!! BACHI BLOCKS IT AND GRABS HIS LEG! HE PULLS HIM INTO THE RING AND DRIVES RIPLEY DOWN INTO THE CANVAS WITH A RELEASE WHEELBARROW SUPLEX!! COVER!!
ONE…. TWO….. T-
James Peters: RIPLEY HOISTS HIS SHOULDER UP! Bachi becoming to grow frustrated as he now immediately pulls Jack Ripley up to his feet. BACHI LOOKING FOR THE END!! HE HOISTS HIM UP INTO A FIREMAN’S CARRY! HERE WE GO!! HE LIFTS HIM UP AND LIFTS HIS KNEE!! GO TO SLEEP!!! NO!! RIPLEY HOOKS HIS KNEE AND PULLS HIM INTO A SCHOOL BOY PIN!! OH NO!!
ONE… TWO… TH-
Persephone: KICK-OUT!! Both idiots get up to their feet at the same time and charge into each other! PAKA goes for another one of those roundhouse kicks, but Ripley blocks it and holds onto his foot! HE ELEVATES HIM UP INTO THE SKIES AND HOISTS HIM RIGHT INTO A POWERBOMB!! A SOFT POWERBOMB AS RIPLEY NOW GOES FOR THE COVA!
ONE…. TWO… TH-
Rich Russillo: KICK-OUT! Ripley immediately positions Bachi against the ropes and topples him onto the ringside floor with a clothesline over the ropes! Bachi splatters onto the concrete floor and gets up to his feet while RIPLEY SOARS THROUGH THE ROPES!! SNATCHES HIS HEAD AND DRIVES HIM INTO THE FLOOR WITH A TORNADO DDT!! THE TOPE SUICIDA INTO A TORNADO DDT CONNECTS AS RIPLEY INSERTS MITSUBACHI BACK INTO THE SQUARED CIRCLE!
James Peters: HE FLOATS OVER THE TOP ROPE! GRABS BACHI’S HEAD!! AND DRILLS HIM WITH A SLINGSHOT DDT!! ANOTHER DDT CONNECTS THIS TIME IN THE RING AS HE GOES OVER FOR THE LATERAL PRESS!! SHOULDERS ARE DOWN!! THIS COULD BE IT!
ONE…. TWO… THR-
Persephone: KICK-OUT!!
Rich Russillo: Ripley immediately places Bachi into a headlock after the kick-out, trying to slow down and wear down “The Silent Animal”. Bachi, however, is quick to gain control as he cinches in a leg scissors around the head of “The Straight Shooter”. Ripley tries to kip-up out of the hold, but it doesn’t work as Bachi has it tightly locked in.
James Peters: Ripley now twists and gets onto his knees. He gets out of the hold, grabs his feet and rolls him up onto his knees! RIPLEY REBOUNDS OFF THE ROPES AND BACHI SHOOTS UP AND SWINGS FORWARD FOR A CLOTHESLINE!! RIPLEY CIRCLES AROUND AND DRILLS HIM WITH A DOUBLE-KNEE BACKSTABBER!!
Rich Russillo: BACHI’S BACK GOES BOUNCING EMPHATICALLY OFF THE KNEES OF RIPLEY AS RIPLEY DOESN’T GO FOR THE COVER!! RIPLEY IS ELECTING TO NOT GO FOR THE WINNING COVER AS HE NOW PULLS BACHI UP TO HIS FEET AND HOOKS BOTH ARMS!!
Persephone: What a damn idiot!
James Peters: BACHI SHRUGS HIM AWAY AND CLOCKS HIM WITH A SPINNING BACKFIST!! THE BACKFIST SENDS RIPLEY FLYING INTO THE BOTTOM TURNBUCKLE, SEATED AGAINST THE CORNER AS BACHI COMES COMING IN FOR A HESITATION DROPKICK! THIS COULD BE IT!! NO!! RIPLEY PULLS HIM UP AT THE LAST SECOND AND CONNECTS WITH A STEP-UP ENZIGURI!!
Rich Russillo: Bachi is on spaghetti legs from that enziguri and rebounds off the ropes while Ripley turns around! RIPLEY EATS A MAMMOTH YAKUZA KICK OUT OF NOWHERE!! RIPLEY REELS BACK INTO THE CORNER AS BACHI IS MOVING LIKE A MAN POSSESSED!! WHERE IS HE GETTING THIS ENERGY FROM!!
James Peters: RIPLEY JUMPS OVER BACHI AND FOLDS HIM OVER FROM THE CORNER!! ROLLING KICK!! IT CONNECTS!! BACHI REBOUNDS OFF THE ROPES WHILE RIPLEY GETS OFF HIS KNEES! BACHI WRAPS HIS ARMS AROUND HIS WAIST!! WHAT THE!! GERMAN SUPLEX!! NO! RIPLEY LANDS ON HIS FEET, LANDS A ROUNDHOUSE KICK ONTO THE BACK OF HIS HEAD AND LIFTS HIM UP!! FULL NELSON LIFT INTO A REVERSE STO!! COVER!
ONE…. TWO… T- Persephone: KICK-OUT!! COME ON!! WHEN WILL THIS MATCH END?!
Rich Russillo: Jack Ripley looking to finish this now! HE SPINS HIM AND LIFTS HIM UP ONTO HIS SHOULDERS!! HE CARRIES HIM ACROSS THE RING FOR THE LAWN DART INTO THE TURNBUCKLES!! NO! BACHI GETS OFF HIS SHOULDERS AND SENDS “THE STRAIGHT SHOOTER” FLYING BACK FIRST INTO THE TURNBUCKLES WITH A SHOTGUN DROPKICK!
James Peters: BACHI NOW LIFTS HIM UP FOR THE GTS!! “GO TO SLEEP”!! NO!! RIPLEY TURNS IT INTO AN INVERTED FRANKENSTEINER!! “THE SILENT ANIMAL” GOT SPIKED AS RIPLEY NOW GETS UP TO HIS FEET AND JUMPS ONTO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE!! HE BOUNCES OFF AND SPINS AROUND!! LEAPING TORNADO DDT!!
Rich Russillo: KOUTOUBOU KICK IN MID-AIR!! BACHI TIMED IT RIGHT WITH THE ROUNDHOUSE KICK IN MID-AIR AS HE NOW LIFTS HIM UP!! AND DRILLS HIM DOWN WITH A BRIDGING GERMAN SUPLEX!! LOOK AT THAT ARCH!! COVER!!
ONE…. TWO…. THR-
James Peters: KICK-OUT! Bachi can’t believe it! Bachi gets in the face of the referee before throwing Ripley through the ropes and hanging him face down over the second rope. What is thinking now?
Persephone: He’s looking to end this god awful match you moron!
Rich Russillo: MITSUBACHI IS PERCHED ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE!! RIPLEY IS DOWN-AND-OUT AND HUNG OVER THE MIDDLE ROPE! THIS COULD BE CATASTROPHIC!! WAIT!! RIPLEY PULLS OUT, SPRINTS ACROSS THE APRON AND JUMPS ONTO BACHI!! BOTH RIPLEY AND BACHI IN PRECARIOUS POSITION!!
James Peters: RIPLEY TRIES TO OVERWHELM BACHI WITH PUNCHES, BUT IT ISN’T ENOUGH AS BACHI PUMMELS HIM WITH FOREARM SMASHES AFTER FOREARM SMASHES!! RIPLEY IS LOSING FIGHT AS BACHI NOW HOOKS HIS TIGHTS AND LIFTS HIM UP IN THE AIR!! BACHI HAS RIPLEY UP IN A SUPLEX ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE!! OH NO!!
Persephone: A BRAINBUSTER ONTO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE!?!?!
Rich Russillo: RIPLEY GRABS HIS HEAD AND TILTS DOWN!!! AND CRUSHES HIS HEAD INTO THE CANVAS OFF THE TOP TURNBUCKLE WITH A SUPER DDT!! WHAT A COUNTER AS RIPLEY NOW CRAWLS OVER FOR THE COVER!! HE DROPS HIS ARM OVER HIS CHEST!! COVEER!!
ONE.. TWO… THREE!!
Persephone: Ah… this match is finally over.
Rich Russillo: BACHI GETS HIS FOOT ONTO THE BOTTOM ROPE!! RIPLEY CAN’T BELIEVE IT!! Ripley in the face of the referee, trying to contest the call as he can’t fathom the fact Bachi was able to survive that super ddt off the top rope! Bachi showcasing how tough and resilient he is as Bachi is now on the apron.
Persephone: Sigh…
James Peters: Bachi leans against the ropes and calibrates himself as Ripley charges in and CONNECTS WITH A ROPE-ASSISTED ENZIGURI!! OH NO!! BACHI IS STAGGERED AS IT OPENS THE WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY FOR RIPLEY TO FLOAT OVER FOR THE SLINGSHOT DDT ONTO THE APRON!!!
Persephone: YES!!
Rich Russillo: NO!! BACHI EVADES THE DDT ONTO THE HARDEST PART OF THE RING AS HE STEPPED BACK!! RIPLEY FLOATS OVER THE TOP ROPE AND BACHI RUNS AND SENDS HIM BACK-FIRST INTO THE RINGPOST WITH A SHOTGUN DROPICK!! MY GOD!! DID U HEAR THE SOUND OF HIS HEAD CRASHING AGAINST THE LED POST??!
James Peters: The limited crowd in attendance cringing at the sound of the metal as BACHI IS NOT FINISHED!! RIPLEY IS OUT!!! BACHI RUNS ACROSS THE APRON ONCE MORE AND DRIVES HIS HEAD FURTHER INTO THE LED RINGPOST WITH THE HESITATION DROPKICK!! THAT HAS TO BE IT!!
Rich Russillo: “THE SILENT ANIMAL” IS ON THE CUSP OF SECURING A VICTORY OVER JACK RIPLEY!! HE ROLLS HIM BACK INTO THE RING AND HOOKS BOTH LEGS!! BACHI WINS!
ONE… TWO….. THREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
James Peters: RIPLEY GETS HIS HAND ONTO THE BOTTOM ROPE!! HOW IN THE WORLD IS HE STILL CONSCIOUS AFTER THOSE SIMULTANEOUS DROPKICKS INTO THE RINGPOST??!? GOD DAMN! Ripley got his hand onto the rope which is deja vu for exactly what happened with Bachi! Bachi is astonished by the display of tenacity by “The Straight Shooter” as he now aggressively pulls him into the middle of the squared circle. He signals for the end! RIPLEY IS NOW ON HIS FEET!! HERE WE GO!! GTS!!
Persephone: IT’S FRENCH MONTANA!!
Rich Russillo: DRAY FONTANA HAS JUMPED ONTO THE TOP ROPE AS BACHI IMMEDIATELY TAKES HIS EYES OF RIPLEY AND KICKS FONTANA OFF THE APRON!! FONTANA GOES SPLATTERING ONTO THE RINGSIDE FLOOR! BACHI TURNS AROUND… AND GET CLOCKED WITH A SUPERKICK!! “YOU’LL FLOAT TOO” CONNECTS ACROSS THE CHIN OF MITSUBACHI AS RIPLEY NOW GOES FOR THE COVER!!
OONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!! TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
( DING! DING! DING! )
( ‘BxMxC’ by Babymetal blasts through the speakers to a colossal pop from the crowd as Ripley uses the ropes to get up. He possesses a smile on his face as he holds his fist up in the air. Dray Fontana passively slides into the ring, clutching his jaw from that yakuza kick from Mitsubachi. He stands across the ring from Ripley as Mitsubachi reclines against the middle rope. )
Rich Russillo: Dray Fontana is now in the ring as all three competitors look at each other. Ripley and Mitsubachi are absolutely exhausted from their match and Fontana is possibly going to take advantage of their fresh battle scars. Fontana stares at Ripley and tries to pacify him. I think he’s asking him to form an alliance against Mitsubachi.
**SLAM!!!**
James Peters: MS. EXTREME JUST GRABBED FONTANA’S FEET, PULLED HIM OUT OF THE RING AND DROVE HIM INTO THE STEEL CHAIRS!! MS. EXTREME IS HERE AS SHE NOW CLIMBS ONTO THE APRON!! RIPLEY CHARGES INTO HER, BUT EXTREME BLOCKS HIS ATTACK WITH A ROPE-ASSISTED ENZIGURI!
Persephone: Poor French Montana has gotten zero offence in!
Rich Russillo: EXTREME SPRINGBOARDS OFF THE TOP ROPE AND SOARS ONTO RIPLEY!! BUT RIPLEY CATCHES HER!! RIPLEY CARRIES HER ACROSS THE RING ON HIS SHOULDERS AND PROCEEDS TO LIFT EXTREME UP INTO A FIREMAN’S CARRY!! EXTREME FLIPS OVER HIS SHOULDERS!!
James Peters: MITSUBACHI HOISTS RIPLEY UP OUT OF NOWHERE!! AND CONNECTS WITH THE “GO TO SLEEP” FIREMAN’S CARRY KNEE!! JACK RIPLEY IS OUT AS BACHI WAS FINALLY ABLE TO CONNECT WITH THE “GTS”! BUT LOOK FROM BEHIND! EXTREME KICKS THE MIDSECTION, GRABS THE HEAD AND SPIKES BACHI’S HEAD ONTO THE CANVAS WITH THE TWIST OF FATE!!
Rich Russillo: The former EAW Interwire Champion may have broken the neck of “The Silent Animal”! Ms. Extreme looks down onto the fallen Mitsubachi and Ripley with a smirk but there’s still another threat present in the vicinity!!! V-TRIGGAAAAHHHH!!! “THE PRINCE”, DRAY FONTANA JUST CLOCKED “THE RED QUEEN” WITH THE DEVASTATING KNEE STRIKE!
Persephone: Finally, he does something else!
James Peters: Dray Fontana making a statement at the expense of Ripley, Bachi, and Extreme. But look, he isn’t finished with Extreme! He rebounds off the ropes and tilt-a-whirls around Extreme! THE TILT-A-WHIRL INVERTED DDT!! NO!! EXTREME PUSHES HIM AWAY AND SENDS HIM DOWN WITH A FLUSH SUPERKICK TO THE JAW!!
Rich Russillo: WHAT A SUPERKICK!! Fontana goes down as Extreme notices Mitsubachi and Jack Ripley getting up to their feet beside each other at ringside. She smirks before placing Fontana’s head between her legs and hoisting “The Prince” up into a crucifix powerbomb! WHAT IS SHE THINKING HERE?!!
James Peters: EXTREME CARRIES HIM AND LAUNCHES DRAY FONTANA ONTO BOTH JACK RIPLEY AND MITSUBACHI! EXTREME IS THE ONE MAKING THE STATEMENT AS THIS COULD BE A FORESHADOWING OF WHAT WILL HAPPEN AT PAIN FOR PRIDE 13!! MS. EXTREME STANDS TALL HERE ON VOLTAGE!!
(Voltage cuts away from the ring and fades to black. After a moment, the face of one of the 2020 Cash in the Vault competitors comes into focus. Each man and woman has their own motives for competing in one of the marquee matchups of Pain for Pride weekend, and tonight the EAW Universe finds out why.)
Narrator: State your name.
Myles: Don’t ask me stupid questions.
(A scowl crosses the face of the Showdown Elitist, who returned earlier in the season back at Grand Rampage.)
Narrator: Why are you going to win Cash in the Vault?
Myles: Ugh, thought I told y’all to get me some good questions. What am I gonna do when I WIN?! Listen, winning can be worried about later, winning has never been an issue for me, so if you want to know ‘why’, I’m afraid I can’t tell you… because frankly, I don’t care. My main focus that night will be to beat up the 7 fools in that ring with me, so while they focus on climbing up the ladder, I’ll be right there knocking them down. And sure, after I’m satisfied with my work, I might go for that case just to rub in my superiority and be officially proclaimed the best out of us, but like I said, that’s for later. My mind is currently just on one thing and one thing only. Dominance.
Narrator: Who’s your biggest competition in the match? Why?
(Myles rolls his eyes.)
Myles: I don’t know. I do know for sure that it’s not Dray or Mitsubachi though. I’ve been in the ring with those two recently, so I know enough about them to confidently claim that they ain’t shit… but hopefully, the rest of the lot aren’t as disappointing. Everyone knows that I go into every match wishing for my opponents to give me their best, but what I want to know is whether their best is good enough. So to answer the question, I hope every one of my foes is my ‘biggest competition’… but I know that’s a hefty hope, one that probably can’t be met judging by the quality of this batch.
Narrator: What lengths are you willing to go to in order to win this match and get your hands on that briefcase?
Myles: Everyone knows damn well how far I am willing to go already. I’m used to this chaotic type of match with multiple men and women. I mean, just go replay the No Way Out match from Odyssey. That night, they put me down but I kept getting back up time and time again, and the same will happen come Pain for Pride. But I will say though, that wording is questionable. Y’all know how far I’ll go, but again, it’s not about getting my hands on that briefcase. It’s about hurting, it’s about fighting, it’s about PROVING that I am the best. Anyone can pull a sly one and climb up the ladder while no ones looking to unhook the briefcase, so that doesn’t prove anything to me. You know what does prove something though? Beating up 7 other people in the ring with you at the same time, and that’s exactly what I am going to do.
Narrator: How do you plan on changing EAW as we know should you become world champion?
Myles: I have little to no interest in the world championship itself, but being on the top of the company does peak my curiosity, because I do want to change EAW. A lot actually. I want to dispose of all the deluded men and women here who don’t truly care for the fight, who are only here for their own selfish desires. They only care for the tangibles like money, championships and fame, when in reality a true fighter should only care about going out there and wrestling. So there’s the answer to your question. I plan on changing a lot. I plan on changing EAW into a better place, one that’s fit for my vision, and if the Cash in the Vault contract or the World Championship is what I need for that to happen, then I shall get my hands on those things sooner rather than later.
Narrator: Any words for you fellow Cash in the Vault competitors?
Myles: I’ve spoken enough here. I’ll save most of my words for when we get closer to Pain for Pride, but I will say this right now. To my opponents… I am different from each and every one of you. You are not prepared for a man with the mindset of mine, because I am not heading this into this match for the sole sake of winning and walking out with a future title match. I’m going to Pain for Pride to hurt people, and you guys are just the unfortunate lot who were put in my way.
(Myles glares into the camera as Voltage fades to commercial break.)
(Commercial break.)
(‘Alive’ by P.O.D hits, and the crowd begins cheering, but as Rex McAllister walks out to the ring, the energy immediately changes. Rex McAllister walks to the ring with a microphone in his hand as well as his Unified Tag Team Championship on his shoulder, and he clearly isn’t at all happy after what happened on Showdown just the previous night. Rex gets into the ring, and afterwards he takes a second, thinking about what happened with Raven Roberts and Minerva, before finally beginning to speak.)
Rex McAllister: To be honest, it wasn’t easy coming out here just now. After seeing what just happened last night, it was hard having to come out here and talk to you all like I’d normally do. What happened at Showdown was cruel and disgusting. Minerva won’t be forgiven for what she did to not just Raven, but to the both of us. Of course, some very shocking news was revealed thanks to Minerva, but I know that’s not how Raven wanted it to come out. Raven didn’t deserve to have something like that happen to her. It wasn’t fair to any of us. Minerva’s actions won’t go unnoticed. You will get what’s coming to you Minerva, and at Pain for Pride my wife is going to become the Universal Women’s Champion once again. I believe in Raven, and I know that she has what it takes to defeat you, but unfortunately, I’ll have to get back to this situation later, as that’s not the only reason I am out here. Raven won’t be with us tonight as she’s still dealing with this mess, but just so everyone is clear, I love my wife and this is just yet another obstacle the two of us will have to overcome together. We’ve managed to get past everything else that’s gotten in our way, and I know we’ll be able to tackle this too. Now for the reason I was supposed to come out here tonight, to address one of my matches at Pain for Pride, and more specifically, the two men who may very well end up being added to the Unified Tag Team Championship match. The Grand Athletes.
(The crowd begins to boo at the mention of the Grand Athletes. The booing doesn’t last long, only going for around a few seconds, as soon after they stop so Rex McAllister could continue speaking.)
Rex McAllister: The Grand Athletes are a newer tag team compared to most teams in EAW, but they have a huge task ahead of themselves. On Voltage last week the Grand Athletes were given an opportunity. If Limmy Monaghan can defeat Colby Sol, then the Grand Athletes will be added to the already existing Pain for Pride Unified Tag Team Championships match between Fire and Ice and the Covenant, making it a triple threat tag team match. Right now, I just want to say that whether the Pain for Pride match becomes a triple threat or not is irrelevant Raven and I, because Fire and Ice accepts any and all challengers. In fact, whether Limmy actually manages to defeat Colby or not doesn’t even matter to me, because I want to see if the Grand Athletes even have what it takes to compete at Pain for Pride. So, I would like to welcome the two of you into the Unified Tag Team Championship match regardless of tonight’s outcome, and I’m looking forward to facing the second half of the Grand Athletes in Mark Macias later on tonight. I know the two of you clearly want to make a name for yourselves, so Mark I’m sure it will be a pleasure facing you. As for the Covenant, and everyone else, I hope the fact that Raven and I are in headlining matches at Pain for Pride for World Championships doesn’t make you think we’re distracted, or that we’ll be relaxing or anything when it comes to the Unified Tag Team Championships, because if you do, you’ve got it all wrong. Raven and I knew what would be ahead of us when we challenged for the titles, and we’re more than ready for a challenge like this one. We asked for this when we won these titles, now we’re just getting exactly what we asked for.
(The fans begin cheering and clapping for Rex, but soon after they stop as Rex seems to not be finished speaking just yet. Obviously Rex is in a tough spot having two Championship matches at Pain for Pride to worry about, as well as the news he received out of nowhere thanks to Minerva’s actions. Rex has a lot on his plate, and as of now all the people in the small crowd can do is show their respect for him. Soon after they finish clapping, Rex begins to speak once again.)
Rex McAllister: Raven and I plan to walk into Pain for Pride as the Unified Tag Team Champions, and walk out as Double Champions. The only way for us to do that is to give this everything we’ve got. The two of us will never be ones to back down from a challenge, nor will we ever put in anything less than our best effort. I am perfectly fine with the Grand Athletes being involved with the Unified Tag Team Championship match, but I want to get a little preview of what may be coming at Pain for Pride, so I’m going to stay at ringside for Limmy versus Colby. I want to see what these two have in them before Pain for Pride as I’m already facing Mark Macias later, and the best way for me to do that is by seeing it up close. So, Limmy, Colby, whenever you guys are ready to come out here, I’ll be ready. I’m interested in seeing what you two will be bringing to the table, so all I have left to say is good luck, and may the best man win.
(‘A History of Bad Men’ by The Melvins hits, causing the crowd to immediately begin booing as Colby Sol slowly begins to walk out to the stage, alongside both Jesse Barlow and Hannah Marin. Rex McAllister then exits the ring, before taking a steel chair and placing it next to the commentary table to sit. Colby immediately begins walking down the ramp, but can’t help looking towards Rex McAllister as he walks around the ring, before climbing up the steel steps and entering.)
James Peters: The Covenant is here, but the only one actually competing right now is Colby Sol. That already doesn’t sound too good for Limmy Monaghan, we’ve seen what the Covenant has been able to do in the past for each other. There’s no doubt that they’ll be getting involved in some way.
Rich Russillo: That’s true, but this is the opportunity Limmy needs to capitalize on. If Limmy wins this, the Grand Athletes are going to Pain for Pride.
James Peters: That’s true, I do wonder if Limmy has what it takes though.
(Soon after, ‘Peace Sign [Instrumental]’ by Kenshi Yonezu hits, and the crowd continues booing, although you can tell the hatred isn’t as heavy as it was with the Covenant as Limmy Monaghan begins walking to the ring with Mark Macias by his side. The two walk down the ramp, and immediately enter the ring, not actually paying a ton of attention to Rex, but instead looking right at both Colby Sol and Jesse Barlow.)
Persephone: Thank God Sexy Rexy is here. Now I don’t have to bother actually looking at the match.
James Peters: Well, it looks like Limmy Monaghan has managed to even the odds as much as he possibly could, as Mark Macias is out with him.
Rich Russillo: Why wouldn’t he be out here? These two are a tag team, of course Mark would be there for his own partner.
James Peters: I suppose you’re right, I just found it interesting as Mark has a match to prepare for himself, against the man sitting right next to us.
Rich Russillo: That’s true, but I’m sure Mark knows he should be here, otherwise the numbers game may prove to be too much for Limmy.
(Mark Macias, Hannah Marin, and Jesse Barlow all exit the ring as the two competitors prepare to start the match. In the meanwhile Rex McAllister continues to watch on from ringside as Voltage fades to a commercial break.)
(Commercial break.)
(The camera transitions to the ringside area as Rex McAllister is seen at ringside with his Unified Tag Team Championship belt over his shoulder. Colby Sol and Limmy Monaghan are already inside the ring as Bella Braxton is announcing them).
Bella Braxton: The following contest is set for one fall…
(Limmy Monaghan is seen stretching by the corner as Mark Macias is standing at ringside right next to him)
Bella Braxton: Introducing first… accompanied to the ring by Mark Macias… from Glasgow Scotland, weighing in at 180 pounds… LIMMY MONAGHAN!!!
Rich Russillo: You know what they say? If at first you don’t succeed, just try again and again. The loss they suffered against the Covenant last week was brutal but Limmy Monaghan wants to bounce back in style here tonight. The Grand Athletes already know they are going to fight for the titles at Pain for Pride… but tonight it’s all about proving their dominance against the Covenant!
(The camera then focuses on the other corner in which Colby Sol is jumping up and down, with fire in his eyes. Jesse Barlow and Hannah Marin are seen pacing back and forth at ringside)
Bella Braxton: And his opponent… from “The City of Champions” Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, weighing in at 223 pounds… Colby Sol!
James Peters: What else is there to say about Colby Sol? He is living a second life under the wing of Jesse Barlow and Hannah Marin! Tonight he is going to have the chance to shut Limmy up for good and what boost of momentum this match is going to give him, in case he gets the W? Let’s find out.
(DING DING DING)
Rich Russillo: The match starts and Colby Sol wastes no time going right after Limmy Monaghan. He knows Monaghan likes to play mind games and takes his time, Colby wants to make sure he won’t have the chance to do that tonight. Colby Sol with a series of stiff shots to Limmy as Jesse Barlow and Hannah Marin are cheering him on at ringside. Limmy has no time to regroup as he got caught completely off guard by this offense early on! Colby Sol with a strong Irish Whip sends Limmy Monaghan crashing to the corner, Colby Sol tries to follow through but Limmy manages to get out of the way just in time! Colby Sol stumbles back, SLINGBLADE BY LIMMY MONAGHAN! COLBY JUST GOT PLANTED… LIMMY WITH THE COVER BUT…WAIT! COLBY SOL WISELY ROLLS OUT OF THE RING AND HE IS CATCHING A BREATHER….
Persephone: Incredible action by Rex McAllister as he takes a bubblegum out of his pocket and starts chewing it! What an impressive show of prowess!
Rich Russillo: ?!?!?!!?
James Peters: Looks like the roles are inverted this time around, Hannah Marin and Jesse Barlow are quickly coming to the aid of their ally Colby Sol, as Limmy Monaghan looks on from within the squared circle. Limmy Monaghan grabs the top rope with evil intentions in his eyes and oh no… don’t tell me he is going for a Pescado! That’s not really his game, isn’t it!? Welp, nevermind. Hannah Marin just put herself between the apron and Colby, acting as a literal human shield and preventing Limmy from diving to the outside and follow up. Limmy Monaghan might have questionable ethics but at least we now know he wouldn’t hit an innocent woman.
Rich Russillo: I wouldn’t call Hannah Marin “innocent” but at this point it doesn’t even matter. Colby Sol slides back in the ring with fire in his eyes and he tackles Limmy to the mat, going for some old fashioned ground and pound action. A brutal series of shots to the back of Limmy’s head as one half of the Grand Athletes tries his best to parry the hits with his forearms. The referee has to step in and separate the two, Limmy uses this break to crawl towards the corner and get some separation between him and Colby but the Right Hand of Virtue is right on top of him and he doesn’t want to give him room to breathe. Colby Sol now positions Limmy in the corner as Mark Macias looks on at ringside with a concerned look on his face, he won’t like what’s coming next for sure. Straight chop to the chest of Limmy Monaghan who is clearly feeling the pain and the intensity of the hits, Colby surely isn’t backing down from this fight as the Pain for Pride implications of this one on one match are HUGE. Colby with yet another chop to the chest of Limmy, as the crowd screams and reacts strongly to the hit. Now Colby Sol goes boxing a little, a series of well places punches to the chest and midsection of Limmy Monaghan as the referee is right on top of the action. My Lord, Limmy is getting hammered here!
Persephone: Meanwhile Rex McAllister with an impressive display of class and manhood looks on at ringside with his dreamy eyes and oh my Lord, he is so beautiful. Back to you, James.
James Peters: Yeah, well. Things are not looking good for Limmy right now, Colby pulls him back to the middle of the ring, he tries to Suplex him but Limmy puts his leg between Colby’s and he stops him right before he can lift him up. Great counter by Limmy who is quick to free himself from Colby’s grasp with a well placed shot to his rib cage. Colby stumbles back but he is not done yet, he charges in…. Nevermind, Limmy Monaghan ducks under and avoids the clothesline, Colby rebounds off the ropes but Limmy catches him with a knee to the guts! This might be the opening Limmy needs to turn things around and get some damage in… NO I SPOKE TOO SOON, COLBY SOL WITH A ENZIGURI KICK SENDS LIMMY MONAGHAN DOWN TO THE MAT HARD, OH MY LORD WHAT A SHOT! I THINK HE KILLED HIM BUT WAIT, IT IS NOT OVER YET… LIMMY MONAGHAN ROLLS OUT OF THE RING AS COLBY LOOKS ON…
Rich Russillo: That kick was so hard it sent Limmy Monaghan all the way to the outside as Mark Macias rushes to his aid… Mark is now helping his friend and partner up as Hannah and Jesse are laughing at them from the other side of the ring. Hey, what is Colby thinking! COLBY SOL RUNS TO THE ROPES AND CONNECTS A SUICIDE DIVE ON BOTH LIMMY AND MARK, COLBY JUST TOOK OUT BOTH THE GRAND ATHLETES WITH ONE BIG DIVE! TALK ABOUT HIGH RISKS, HIGH REWARDS! NOW COLBY THROWS LIMMY RIGHT BACK INSIDE THE SQUARED CIRCLE AND GOES FOR A QUICK COVER…THE REFEREE SLIDES IN POSITION…
ONEEEEEEEEE
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOO
James Peters: KICKOUT! Limmy Monaghan kicks out! The match is still on. Impressive show by Colby Sol here tonight, The Reaper is out for blood and his road to Pain for Pride has surely been all about destruction just like we’ve witnessed tonight at the expense of Limmy Monaghan. Poor guy. Colby wastes no time and locks a chinlock in the middle of the ring, he’s trying to wear him down as Mark Macias does what he can to try and cheer his tag team partner on. Limmy Monaghan has to find a way to fight out of this predicament and turn things around big time but I’m afraid the damage may have already been done. Limmy Monaghan gets back to his feet and drives his elbow in the chest of Colby Sol, he got some separation but it’s not enough, the chinlock is still locked in tight. Limmy Monaghan knows it’s time for desperate measures as he drops down butt first to the canvas and stuns Colby Sol with a stunner of some sorts! Not pretty but still, it was effective enough and Colby Sol has no choice but to release the hold! Colby Sol now stumbles back as he doesn’t seem to know where he is right now…. LIMMY MONAGHAN IS QUICK TO FOLLOW UP WITH A BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE, BRUTAL SHOTS THAT JUST KILLS COLBY SOL ON THE SPOT! COLBY SOL COLLAPSES TO THE MAT HARD AS LIMMY DOES NOT HAVE THE STRENGTH TO GO FOR THE COVER!
Rich Russillo: This match has taken so much out of Limmy Monaghan, is even struggling to stand right now. But at least he has got himself some time to recollect and to replenish his energies. Now Limmy has no time to waste, he needs to push the advantage and he does manage to get back to his feet just a few moments before Colby did. Limmy now with a strong Irish Whip to the corner, Colby Sol is stunned against the turnbuckle as Limmy charges in… NO WAY JESSE BARLOW JUST DRAGGED COLBY SOL OUT OF THE CORNER AND LIMMY MONAGHAN WENT SHOULDER FIRST AGAINST THE STEEL POST! THE REFEREE IS SCREAMING AT JESSE BARLOW BUT THERE’S NOTHING HE CAN DO ABOUT IT. THAT IS NOT A DQ WORTHY OFFENSE!
Persephone: I cannot believe how far these two idiots are going just to put down the Grand Athletes. I mean they suck, they are terrible. I’m sure Rex could take them on by himself and still win easily.
James Peters: Thats your opinion, however it’s undeniable how Jesse’s help was effective in that predicament as it allowed Colby Sol to take back the control of the fight. Limmy now stumbles back out of the corner, but he is still stunned and his back is turned… Chop block by Colby Sol as Limmy falls down to the canvas hard! Colby Sol is now back in control as he picks his opponent up yet again… T BONE SUPLEX CONNECTS, HE JUST SENT LIMMY FLYING ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE RING… HE GOES FOR THE COVER….
ONEEEEEEEEE
TWOOOOOO
THREEE——
Rich Russillo: Wait! Mark Macias just placed Limmy’s foot on the rope! The referee noticed at the very last second and he stopped the count! Colby Sol is livid but here’s nothing he can do about it. The match is still going, the three count was interrupted. And what a payback for the Grand Athletes there. If Jesse Barlow is interfering in the match, so can Mark Macias I suppose. Colby Sol is now arguing with Macias and the two are screaming at each other despicable things that thankfully you guys from home can’t quite earn as we are talking over them. It’s not nice things for sure, though, I can assure you that…. WAIT A SECOND, LIMMY WITH A QUICK ROLL UP AS COLBY SOL WAS DISTRACTED BY MACIAS, HE MIGHT BE ABLE TO STEAL A VICTORY HERE… NO WAY THIS IS HAPPENING. THE REFEREE WITH THE COVER….
James Peters: No! Nevermind, Colby Sol managed to roll through just before the referee could slide down to the mat and start the count, Limmy got back to his feet immediately though and so did one half of the Covenant… STOP! LIMMY MONAGHAN WITH HIS SIGNATURE GESTURE IS TELLING COLBY SOL TO STOP, WE KNOW WHAT’S COMING NEXT… ENZIGURI KICK… WAIT, I SPOKE TO SOON, COLBY SOL JUST SIDESTEPPED HIM AS THE KICK DOES NOT CONNECT, LIMMY MONAGHAN STUMBLES BACK TO HIS FEET AS THE SOL FOOD CONNECTS INSTEAD! EAT DEFEAT BY COLBY SOL, HE GOT HIM! THE COVER…
ONEEEEEEEEE
TWOOOOOOOOOOO
THREEEEEEEE———
Rich Russillo: And a Kickout by Limmy Monaghan who is still in this match! Colby Sol is shocked but it’s true, Limmy just kicked out of the Sol Food. Jesse is now screaming at Colby, trying to tell him to keep up the pressure wand to not lose focus! Colby Sol nods and he goes right after the ankle of Limmy Monaghan… YES, THE ANKLE LOCK IS LOCKED IN TIGHT! HE CALLS THIS THE SOL 2 KEEP, THE ANKLE LOCK WHO HAS TAKEN OUT MULTIPLE WRESTLERS IN THE PAST! LIMMY HAS NOWHERE TO GO BUT HE IS FIGHTING THROUGH THE PAIN, HE DEFINETELY CANNOT AFFORD TO TAP OUT TONIGHT, NOT IN FRONT OF HIS PARTNER, JESSE AND REX! LIMMY CRAWLS TOWARDS THE ROPES TO FORCE A BREAK BUT COLBY HAS A FIRM GRIP OF HIS ANKLE AND HE IS NOT LETTING HIM GO, LIMMY HAS TO FIND ANOTHER WAY TO BREAK FREE… LIMMY FLIPS ON THE SIDE, COLBY STUMBLES FORWARD… YES! LIMMY MONAGHAN SOMEHOW FOUND A WAY TO THROW COLBY SOL OUT OF THE RING! COLBY STUMBLES FORWARD AND HE IS SENT CRASHING TO THE OUTSIDE RIGHT NEXT TO REX MCALLISTER WHO HAD TO QUICKLY GET OUT OF THE WAY TO AVOID GETTING HIT BY HIS BODY!
Persephone: Impressive counter there by Sexy Rexy who just BRILLIANTLY avoided the flying crossbody by Colby Sol. That’s just another example as to why Rex is Rex and these idiots are not Rex. He’s always ready, always aware of his surroundings. Impressive!
James Peters: He literally just took a step to his side but… whatever. Tensions are rising at ringside as Mark Macias and Jesse Barlow are now rushing to the spot in which Colby has landed. They can’t interfere in the match though because the referee is looking directly at them. They can’t try anything funny other than stare at each other. Colby Sol landed hard to the outside and he is having a lot of trouble in getting back to his feet. Both Jesse and Hannah are helping him up as Mark Macias is also arguing here at ringside… Hold on, it looks like Jesse and Mark are pushing each other and this is not going to end well. Jesse Barlow just violently pushed Macias down to the floor but Macias won’t stand that disrespect and he quickly got back to his feet and pushed forward… WAIT A SECOND WHAT IS LIMMY DOING? LIMMY IS ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE… NO DONT DO IT LIMMY! LIMMY MONAGHAN WITH A FRONT FLIP SENTON TO THE OUTSIDE, HE JUST TOOK OUT COLBY, JESSE, HANNAH AND EVEN HIS OWN PARTNER MARK MACIAS! THE ONLY PERSON LEFT STANDING IS REX MCALLISTER WHO WAS JUST INCHES AWAY FROM GETTING HIT! REX IS NOW SMIRKING AT THE DESTRUCTION THAT HAPPENED IN FRONT OF HIS VERY EYES, THAT WAS INSANE! I MEAN, LIMMY TOOK OUT MARK TOO BUT IM SURE MARK WILL UNDERSTAND!
Rich Russillo: No time to recollect, Limmy Monaghan immediately picks Colby Sol back up and throws him back inside the squared circle. Colby Sol stumbles back to his feet, he doesn’t know where the heck he is right now but Limmy knows, he is in the perfect position for his signature Superkick… SUPERKICK BY LIMMY MONAGHAN, HE JUST KILLED COLBY SOL BUT… WHAT THE F? COLBY SOL IS STILL STANDING! COLBY SOL ON SPAGHETTI LEGS IS WANDERING AROUND THE SQUARED CIRCLE BUT HE IS STILL UP… FRONT FLIP DDT BY LIMMY MONAGHAN, THE GLASGOW DESTROYER HITS AND THAT SHOULD DO IT… LIMMY HOOKS THE LEG OF COLBY, THIS IS IT GUYS….
ONEEEE
TWOOOOO
THREEEEEEEE
James Peters: KICKOUT BY COLBY SOL! That was so close, I thought it was three for a moment! Limmy Monaghan cannot believe it and neither can we. Meanwhile at ringside the chaos continues as Mark Macias and Jesse Barlow are STILL bickering and they just don’t wanna shut up. Now even Hannah Marin has gotten in the way as she slaps Mark! A huge slaps across the face of Mark makes the socially distanced crowd in attendance pop in awe for what they’ve just witnessed! Meanwhile in the middle of the ring it looks like Limmy Monaghan wants to put this match away, he has Colby Sol in perfect position for his Running Meteora. Colby does not know where he is right now as he is gasping for air while Limmy is sizing him up in the corner… Limmy charges in for the Uravity… NOBODYS HOME! COLBY SOL WAS PLAYING POSSUM THERE AS LIMMY MONAGHAN WAS SENT CRASHING KNEES FIRST ON THE MAT HARD, HE COMPLETELY MISSED THE TARGET AND NOW COLBY CAN CAPITALIZE! COLBY IMMEDIATELY RUSHES TOWARDS LIMMY AS HE CATCHES HIM, HE LIFTS HIM UP IN A POWERBOMB POSITION, I THINK WE ARE ABOUT TO SEE THE SOL REAPER… NO, NEVERMIND, LIMMY MONAGHAN FIGHTING FOR HIS LIFE AS HE PUNCHES THE SKULL OF COLBY AND DOES WHAT HE CAN TO ESCAPE THAT ROUGH PREDICAMENT… AND HE DOES! LIMMY MONAGHAN LANDS RIGHT BEHIND COLBY SOL, KICK TO THE BACK OF HIS LEGS AS ONE HALF OF THE COVENANT IS KNEELING…
Rich Russillo: It’s now or never for Limmy Monaghan as he runs to the ropes in order to get some momentum, we are about to see his Running Meteora…. LIMMY CHARGES IN BUT HE GETS CAUGHT BY A BRUTAL HEADBUTT BY COLBY SOL, THE DIRTY BOXING STOPS LIMMY RIGHT IN HIS TRACKS! LIMMY MONAGHAN COLLAPSES TO THE CANVAS HARD AS COLBY SOL CRAWLS IN THE COVER, THIS IS IT GUYS…
James Peters: Hey what the hell! Why is the referee not counting?! The action on the outside has spiraled out of control as Jesse Barlow has just thrown Mark Macias against the steel steps! The referee has noticed what was going on and he is now yelling at Jesse! Colby is livid as he gets back up and goes on the apron to try and stop Jesse from making things worse! But Jesse is not listening, he is still stomping the living hell out of Mark Macias! Colby is screaming at him as the referee is looking after Limmy Monaghan and making sure he can continue.
Colby Sol (Off mic): STOP! I HAD THE MATCH WON!
Rich Russillo: Jesse isn’t even listening anymore, the referee tries to pull Colby Sol back inside the ring… WHAT THE F…?? COLBY SOL JUST HIT THE REFEREE WITH A STRAIGHT PUNCH TO THE FACE!? COLBY SOL IS SHOCKED! HE THOUGHT LIMMY WAS THE ONE TOUCHING HIM AND HE INSTINCTIVELY WENT FOR A SHOT TO THE FACE WITHOUT THINK TWICE! THE REFEREE IS STUNNED! COLBY SOL IS NOW TRYING TO APOLOGIZE BUT IT’S TOO LATE… THE REFEREE CALLS FOR THE BELL!
(DING DING DING)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and Gentlemen here is your winner by disqualification… Limmy Monaghan!
(Peace Sign by Kenshi Yonezu plays up as Limmy is seen rolling out of the ring. The camera then focuses on Colby Sol who is still arguing with the referee and trying to explain himself. Limmy Monaghan picks Mark up and the two walk up the ramp as Rex McAllister is looking on with a smile on his face)
Persephone: Well, that was disappointing. We didn’t get to see Rex in action and these two couldn’t even give us a satisfying ending. What a bust.
James Peters: What did you expect? These two teams have been going at it for quite some time and now more than ever tensions are extremely high! Pain for Pride is around the corner! Who is going to emerge victorious and win it all?!
Rich Russillo: I don’t know James, but this match had everything we were expecting from them. Intensity, action and drama. Come Pain for Pride there won’t be any excuse. We are going to see who will walk out as the Tag Team Champions once and for all.
(Voltage fades into another pre-taped segment featuring a 2020 Cash in the Vault competitor.)
Narrator: State your name.
(As the narrator asks the first question, Dynasty’s Darcy May Morgan rolls her eyes.)
Darcy May Morgan: Is that a trick question? You know my name. Darcy May Morgan, The Leading Lady. And if you don’t, just wait until after Pain for Pride when it is in the headlines as “Darcy May Morgan, Ms Cash in the Vault”.
(Like always, the talented Elitist is brimming with confidence.)
Narrator: Why are you going to win Cash in the Vault?
Darcy May Morgan: Why wouldn’t I win? I have had an impressive season that has made me stand out from the crowd in one year. My work ethic, my determination, my commitment to this business are just a few things that have made me a rising star in this business all in a short amount of time. I have already proven that I am a champion that can change the landscape of a division without taking ANY breaks. It’s never been the case of IF I can become a World Champion, it is WHEN. I keep getting close to being at the top of the mountain every single time, and at Pain for Pride, no one is stopping me from getting to the top and ending the season of the Leading Lady with an ending that I deserve.
Narrator: Who’s your biggest competition in the match? Why?
Darcy May Morgan: The person I am keeping my eye on in this match is Ms Extreme. Camille has made her claims for what she wants to do if she captures the CITV briefcase. Her goals of becoming EAW Universal Women’s Champion is the exact same mission that I have. I am not going to let her be the main character in that story of redemption. That is Darcy May Morgan’s role. That is my mission. That is my story. And I am not going to stand back and watch anyone else take that from me.
Narrator: What lengths are you willing to go to in order to win this match and get your hands on that briefcase?
Darcy May Morgan: Everything is on the line for me at Pain for Pride. My career, my reputation, my character. Being the Leading Lady is about leading your own life. Being the Leading Lady is about being the woman that stands tall over everyone else. In the past few months, I haven’t been able to be the Leading Lady that I have wanted to be. That character, that name, that life-style.. it saved my life. That change in demeanor, saved my life. At Pain for Pride, it is time to be the Leading Lady that I always knew I could be. And you better believe that means there are no limits, no restrictions and no holding back for me when that is on the line.
Narrator: How do you plan on changing EAW as we know should you become world champion?
(Darcy takes a deep breath.)
Darcy May Morgan: The Universal Women’s Championship has always had a stigma attached to it. Whether it is being judged about not being at the level of the other three world championships in EAW or people believing that the competition surrounding that belt is poor. It is clear that something needs to change with that belt. That change is me. I can bring the competition, I can bring the heart, I can bring the passion to a division that solely needs it just like I did with the Specialists Championship. I don’t want to add onto an old legacy with holding any of the other three world championships, I want to start creating my own legacy and build that EAW Universal Championship to the top. And when I am done with that, the EAW Universal Women’s Championship will be one of the most prestigious championships in EAW.
Narrator: Any words for you fellow Cash in the Vault competitors?
Darcy May Morgan: I’ve shared the spotlight for too long now. Whether it was sitting back and watching Sarah Price win the Specialists Championship or watching Raven Roberts win the opportunity to headline Pain for Pride. I continue to bring out the best in every single person that I am in the ring with, and now, it is time to bring the best out of Darcy May Morgan. A Leading Lady always wants to be rewarded for her incredible performance whether that is an Academy Award or an Oscar. It’s time for me to get my award on the biggest show of the year. And you can bet that I already have my victory speech ready.
(A smile spreads across Darcy’s face as Voltage fades to another commercial break.)
(Commercial break.)
(The camera cuts to the ringside area as Cameron Clark and Cole Smith are ready to get things started in the middle of the ring. The referee is just about to call for the bell when an Elitist shows up on stage and interrupts the match before it can even get started)
Maxwell: Hold on just a minute. Hold on.
(Maxwell shows up on stage as the crowd gives me a very hostile reception and literally boos him out of the arena)
Maxwell: Oh did you guys miss me? Well, I don’t care. Look I’m out here for a simple reason. I am going to do you guys a favor and make sure this garbage match between these two nobodies isn’t even going to take place. I mean, who the fuck are these guys? Seriously? Pain For Pride is around the corner, everyone is busy with their Season end climax and we are wasting everyone’s time with what? Cameron Clunk versus Cool Smair.. Smeet.. Smith? I don’t even know these guys’ names, see? That’s how irrelevant they are.
Maxwell: Alright, let’s cut the chase. I am out here for a very simple reason. I am the future 24/7 contract holder. Later tonight I am going to defeat Andrea Valentine in the main event of Voltage and then I’ll move on to Pain for Pride and completely annihilate every person who is going to be stupid enough to stand within me and MY 24/7 contract. Tonight I am going to defeat Andrea Valentine and show the world just why I am a future Champion.
Maxwell: Yes, I’ve said it. CHAMPION. Let me spell it out for you guys.. C H A M P I O N. Get it? I’ve been unstoppable lately, I currently am on a four winning streak and I am about to get the biggest win of them all and walk into Pain for Pride with a FIVE wins streak, hell even a SIX wins streak if I’m gonna get booked next week. Nothing is going to stop me and those idiots in the 24/7 contract battle Royale sure won’t be a roadblock from me.
(Maxwell is seen walking down the ramp as the crowd is booing heavily)
Maxwell: And who even is in this battle Royale? The Losers Union? Or club? Or whatever they call themselves? Is there really a need for me to say anything about them? They literally have losers in their name. Lisa Wren? Didn’t she explicitly said that replica belts are the same as the real ones? Why is someone who said dumb stuff like that even a threat to me? Korey Gaines sucked balls on Voltage so he had to go all the way to Dynasty in order to… suck even harder, I guess? He is the definition of loser, why in the world is he even still signed to this company? Shane Gates, Shaker Jones… I mean… are you even kidding me? Does ANYBODY in the world think that these clowns stand a chance against me?
(Maxwell slides inside the ring as Cole Smith and Cameron Clark are staring at him in awe.)
Maxwell: You know what. I have a better idea. For those of you in the crowd and watching at home who are still wondering whether I am going to win this battle Royale or not… take a close look…
(Maxwell viciously leaps in the air and hits his Knee Strike called Golden Boot on Cole Smith and then before Cameron Clark can even understand what’s going on, he delivers another Golden Boot to him as well. Maxwell laughs out loud and then picks up the mic yet again.)
Maxwell: See what I just do to these two losers? You can add as many losers as you want to that equation but in the end you are going to get the same result. And for those who you who suck at math, I’m going to spell it out to make things clear. The same thing I’ve done to these two clowns, I’m going to do to each and every single Elitist who thinks he can win the 24/7 contract.
Maxwell: I am Mister 24/7 for a reason and let’s make no mistake about it. I am headed into Pain for Pride to win the whole damn thing. These competitors can’t stand a chance against me just like Andrea Valentine won’t stand a chance against me and just like these two clowns didn’t stand a chance against me. Not now, not ever. I am going to win at Pain for Pride becaus….
(Cepheus St. Claire sneaks up from behind and nails Maxwell with the Shady Ending. Maxwell did not see that coming as Cepehus gets back to his feet immediately. He makes sure his jacket and shirt are in order and then picks up the mic)
Cepeheus St. Claire: You wanna talk about math, eh? Unfortunately for you I am very skilled at mathematics, Maxwell. I count money all day back at the Delmonty Enterpises HQ. I can count up to a billion because that’s how rich I am. Let me tell you something about your equation, mister 24/7. I am the variable you can’t predict. I am the X, I am the Y. Whatever variable you pick, I will be that variable. Come Pain for Pride I am going to win the 24/7 contract, that same exact contract which escaped from my grasp in the past… but I am not closer than ever. That contract will be mine, MINE! DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME, MAXWELL? I didn’t come back to EAW to play nice. I am here to win titles and the 24/7 Battle Royale is my golden ticket to glory. You act as if you’ve already won the whole thing, that’s cute. But come Pain for Pride reality is going to hit you in the face just like I’ve hit you tonight as you weren’t expecting it.
(The camera focuses on Cepehus as he stands tall over Maxwell’s lifeless body before cutting to another commercial break.)
(Commercial break.)
(Voltage returns and focuses on one of the Voltage representatives for Cash in the Vault 2020.)
Narrator: State your name.
(A shit eating grin crosses the face of Jack Ripley.)
Jack Ripley: My name is Jack Ripley… Aka The Straight Shooter Jack Ripley… Aka The Rip Daddy… Not many call me that these days, don’t know why.. But I suppose you can also call me the next Mr. Cash in the Vault.
Narrator: Why are you going to win Cash in the Vault?
(The was an easy question for Jack to answer.)
Jack Ripley: I’m more hungry than I’ve ever been. Road To Redemption was supposed to be my night, but not only was it not my night, it might’ve been one of the worst nights of my life. I was embarrassed, and put on the shelf for 5 months of my career. With that came clarity though. After doing it for 4 years straight, I needed a break. I was able to clear my mind and see wrestling from an outside perspective and recalibrate the mission. I was too focused on the mess my life was, aiming for revenge, when that should never have been what I was aiming toward. Now with Charles out of my life for good, and being able to focus directly on what I need to focus on, and that’s the World Championship. I’ve been in this company since 2015, with a break in between to focus on my marriage; and through it all I’ve been doubted. Doubted that I can’t stand on my own two feet, doubted that I can’t make it to the top of the mountain and be World Champion. I’ve heard a lot of talk, but now it’s time for action. I don’t just want this, I need this. Now I know I thought that I had the same mindset going into Road To Redemption, but with Charles being in the back of my mind that wasn’t ever going to be true. Look I am 1 step away from being Mr. Cash in the Vault. I am two steps away from being a World Champion, and a Triple Crown Champion.. And not to mention 4-0 at Pain For Pride… I have done a lot of great things in EAW, but in my opinion I haven’t reached my fullest potential.. I am looking to grab every opportunity by the balls, and make it my bitch.. And what better opportunity to grasp than the present one?
Narrator: Who’s your biggest competition in the match? Why?
Jack Ripley: Everyone. I don’t care if it’s Darcy, Myles, or Ms. Extreme, everyone is here for a reason; and in a ladder match it’s quite difficult to say what’s going to happen. It’s a clusterfuck to say the least; you can have your hands on the briefcase and be knocked down at the last second. We got upstarts in here, we got some veterans, and everyone is vying for that one chance to grasp the briefcase at Pain For Pride and push themselves to the next level. I don’t view this as a singular act of one vs. one, or one being the most impressive because in a ladder match with this many people; it honestly doesn’t matter. You can be jumped by the entire field and be incapacitated throughout the entire match. I won’t be so boneheaded to focus on one person and let another person grasp the glory that I’m vying to get.
Narrator: What lengths are you willing to go to in order to win this match and get your hands on that briefcase?
Jack Ripley: Whatever it takes. It’s Pain For Pride, it’s that one moment that I’ve been searching for my entire career. Winning this match will put all the doubters to bed. Winning this match will make me a legitimate star on my own. Even after all these years I still have shit to prove, and though I think that feeling of needing to prove myself will never fade.. I think it helps me put it all out on the line and push myself to limits that I never thought possible even for myself.
Narrator: How do you plan on changing EAW as we know should you become world champion?
Jack Ripley: Change is relative right? Change is something that people want to see only if it benefits themselves. Look I think Andrea Valentine has been a great Champion, and perhaps I don’t want to change anything; but carry on what she’s already begun. I want the best competition, I want to have the best matches, I want to represent EAW the way it should be represented. Of course I want to bring new competition to the division, but can I promise that? Of course not. We all want something new, and fresh but only if it’s the people we want to see. What I’m saying is, I’m just as selfish as everyone else in the world. I want to be world champion because I want to be the best version of Jack Ripley that I can be.
Narrator: Any words for you fellow Cash in the Vault competitors?
Jack Ripley: I just want you guys to bring it. Let’s steal the fucking show, because I want this to be the one match that everyone is talking about once it’s over. I’m sure everyone has their reasons for thinking it’s going to be their time to take the brass ring, and take that next step into their future. But Pain For Pride is my night, it’s my night to do what no one ever thought was possible. I shed the shackles of being “just a tag team guy”, and become a bonafide star. You can try to stop me, but you can’t stop destiny.
(Jack’s dark eyes narrow as the camera fades back to the ringside area.)
(The camera fades back into the EAW Performance Center. Before Bella Braxton speaks as she stands in the middle of the ring, the camera pans over to the commentary desk. Bronson Daniels is seen along with Andre Walker cramped with extra seating along with the original 3 person commentary desk. Bronson is seen with a shirt with a fake tie on it along with a cardboard title that reads ‘New Breed Bro’ as he leans back in his chair, Andre Walker looking on uninterested as he raises an eyebrow at the antics of Bronson before sticking up the middle finger)
Bronson Daniels: Great to be here bro!
Andre Walker: Can we just get this match over with, this is just simply adding more weight to the job at Pain For Pride and I ain’t putting up with it.
Persephone: Goddammit more people…
(Bella Braxton is then seen as the camera pans over to the middle of the ring as she begins to speak with a bright smile on her face)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen the following contest is scheduled for…
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
Bella Braxton: And it’s a chance to fight for the NEW BREED CHAMPIONSHIP AT… PAIN… FOR… PRIDE!!!!!!!!!!
(‘Lonely Day’ by System of a Down plays up as Shawn Sturgis makes his way to the ring walking very slowly as he finds himself at the center of the stage. He begins to slowly raise his head to give a stare at the ring before he begins to make his way down the ramp and to the ring keeping that slow methodical pace as he does so)
Bella Braxton: Introducing first… from Riverside, California… weighing in at 180 pounds… THE GOTHIC MONARCH… SHAWN STURGIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: Last week for Shawn Sturgis he was in a match against none other than Malcolm Jones in the main event of the evening, obviously pretty big strides to say the very least for the young elitist. Although he didn’t win against Malcolm he sure did make his mark. He held his own against a former EAW World Champion and showed that he’s not someone to look over in the foreseeable future.
James Peters: I won’t deny it when the facts are laid down like that but now moving past that he heads forward to look straight to Pain For Pride. In order to solidify his stance on the card, he has to fight in order to gain it, and here he is facing his own comrade in action. He specifically said if he has to do so, he won’t be afraid to do so to push on to Pain For Pride. I’m sure despite that obvious problem it’s nothing he can push forward like it’s not even one at all. Either way, I’m sure Shawn Sturgis is going to do what he always has, and that’s shine.
Persephone: Oh please. My logic always goes as shows and believe me half of the time it’s always right. If the person lost last week, give me a reason that they’re luck will change! He can smolder his eyeliner and strut on in like he’s joining The Black Parade, but I couldn’t give a flying fuck. This dude puts his body on the line? I hope he fucking breaks something doing so, good entertainment.
Bronson Daniels: Bit eerie, but that’s ok. You know speaking of that I’ve had my fair share of scares in my life. Once during Halloween, a midget attacked me with a stick and beat my kneecaps, so this is nothing big of course.
Andre Walker: You really just one big baby ain’t you? Fucking pussy.
Bronson Daniels: Don’t talk to your future champion like that bro.
(Shawn finally finds himself at the bottom of the ramp as he stops himself. He looks around the ring before finally sliding into the ring and bringing himself up to one knee. A light shines down on him as he removes his hood and pulls himself up to his feet slowly at the center of the ring before finally meeting in his corner as ‘Lonely Day’ fades out. ‘Heartbeats’ by King 810 then replaces it as it blasts through the arena as Komatsu Ogawa makes his way out of the backstage area and to the center of the stage. He stands there for a moment completely oblivious to the crowd as he looks right at the center of the ring. He tugs at his jacket as he makes his way down the ramp and to the ring with a sense of determination as he does so)
Bella Braxton: And his opponent… from Kabukicho, Tokyo, Japan… weighing in at 251 pounds… THE SERPENT KING… KOMATSU OGAWA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: As for Komatsu he was in a qualifying match for the Cash In The Vault match against Ms. Extreme in a very breathtaking match given out by both of them. Even if Ogawa did lose he showed he can hold his own despite the scenario, and I’m sure that stuck out that he put up a fight. But despite that he can’t continue to ponder on it, now he has to move on to gain this shot if he does want to make it under the big lights.
James Peters: I wouldn’t take it away from him the fact that there will be another shot to participate at Pain For Pride, like the 24/7 Contract Battle Royal. But to say the very least and to state the obvious this is obviously a chance to gain his biggest shot possible there, and it’s go big or go home to say the very least. I bet you Komatsu is going to make the most out of this situation, he truly is always full of surprises.
Persephone: He better be full of surprises. From what I’ve seen since I’ve joined this commentary booth he’s been nothing more than just a freak like the person he’s standing across the ring from. He better be willing to fucking kill himself tonight because he ain’t got a chance just like the rest.
Bronson Daniels: Bro what’s with these scary people. Whatever, imma say it right now no matter who the fuck it is, even if it’s Andre from Victorious or whoever the hell is in the ring at the moment and happens to win which will still mean absolutely nothing! I’m still going to win at Pain For Pride at the end of the day, and the prophecy will be fulfilled, and I will rejoice with a hit of the sweet green herb.
Andre Walker: Nah that’s the weed talking, you better shut your ass up before you ain’t even gon make it to Pain For Pride.
(Komatsu finally slows his pace as he finds himself on the bottom of the ramp before he begins to give a long circle around the ringside area before going up the steel steps. He stops at the center of the apron as he looks out to the booing crowd before he enters into the ring. He makes his way to the center of the ring as he slowly begins to take off his robe as he takes a look at his opponent, both tag partners give each other a nod before Komatsu makes his way to his corner and begins to warm up as ‘Heartbeats’ begins to fade out and the Ref signals for this match to begin)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Bronson Daniels: Let the weedening begin! Hah hah, get it?
Andre Walker: Hope you realize you sound like a cac at the moment.
Rich Russillo: Well here we go as a chance to head to Pain For Pride and participate for the New Breed Championship is underway! Both of The Unique Ones are quickly circling around each other as this is the time where they have to push that respect for one another to the side and give it their all, their future depends on it!
Bronson Daniels: Now James bro before you even speak, I don’t know how to do commentary but it’s always a learning experience. Sturgis and Ogawa are quickly crossing arms right here or locking up whatever the hell that’s called. They both seem to be jockeying for position as Ogawa manages to push Sturgis into the ropes, hah idiot. OH! SLAP RIGHT TO THE FACE BY OGAWA! Bro that even hurt me from here.
Andre Walker: Cause you a idiot.
Bronson Daniels: I know you ain’t talking.
Persephone: My lord SHUT UP!
Bronson Daniels & Andre Walker: SHUT UP HAG!
Rich Russillo: :dame:
James Peters: Well ANYWAYS! Sturgis seems unphased but he knows the name of the game for Ogawa and completely understands! STURGIS QUICKLY RUNNING FORWARD AND ATTEMPTING A KNEE STRIKE RIGHT TO THE GUT OF OGAWA! BUT OGAWA QUICKLY PULLING THE ROPES AND RETREATING AWAY AND THROWING OGAWA THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE! Sturgis managing to land on the apron as Ogawa turns around on his heels, BUT STURGIS GRABS HIM BY THE HEAD AND SENDS A FOREARM RIGHT TO HIS FACE! Sturgis quickly running left on the apron as Ogawa retreats to the center of the ring to try to gain some distance between the two of them, BUT STURGIS WITH A TOP ROPE CROSSBODY-
Rich Russillo: BUT OGAWA WITH QUICK THINKING MANAGES TO CATCH STURGIS! Ogawa transitions it into a powerbomb position! FOLDING POWERBOMB! OGAWA TRANSITIONING EASILY INTO A PIN ATTEMPT RIGHT HERE TO THE SURPRISE OF STURGIS!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOO-
James Peters: KICKOUT BY STURGIS!
Bronson Daniels: I will admit to you, that move ain’t that bad. But believe me, if he wins, none problems for me. I’m just full of that pure raw talent. :wow:
Andre Walker: You pamper yourself up on a throne full of lies and swim in the fool’s gold, take that all away and what does that compose you of?
Bronson Daniels: Your next New Breed Bro! :blessed: :blessed:
Andre Walker: :skip:
Rich Russillo: Both of them are up to their feet now as both of them are already hammering away at one another! Their brutalizing one another with brutal forearms sending them in a back-and-forth charade which is surely going to take a toll on them! BUT KOMATSU SENDING A KNEE RIGHT TO THE GUT OF STURGIS!! BUT STURGIS BOOSTS HIMSELF BACK UP TO A FORWARD POSITION WITH A EUROPEAN UPPERCUT RIGHT TO THE JAW OF KOMATSU! KOMATSU REELING BACK AND GOING FOR A LARIAT- BUT STURGIS LEAPING FORWARD AND GRABBING THE ARM OF KOMATSU WHILE IT’S SPREAD OUT AND QUICKLY SLAMMING IT TO THE GROUND WITH A DOUBLE KNEE ARM BREAKER!
James Peters: Ogawa rolling around in pain as he grabs his arm but Sturgis isn’t done as he pulls him up to his feet grabbing his arm as he seems to be looking to inflict as much damage as he can so Ogawa can stay down for the count! STURGIS WITH A SHORT-ARM CLOTHESLINE- BUT OGAWA MANAGES TO DUCK UNDER AS HE’S RIGHT BEHIND STURGIS CATCHING HIM BY SURPRISE! OGAWA WITH A DISCUS ELBOW SMASH RIGHT TO THE BACK OF STURGIS’ HEAD SENDING STURGIS DOWN TO A KNEE IN PAIN! Ogawa running to the ropes and back as Sturgis is beginning to pull himself up onto his feet! OGAWA WITH A DOUBLE KNEE FACEBREAKER SENDING STURGIS RIGHT DOWN TO THE GROUND WITH QUICKNESS!
Persephone: They really do think they’re special folk huh? Bust out all the special moves acting like they’re the shit? I think they’re a bunch of shit if that helps anything in any sort of way.
Andre Walker: You and me both girl.
Bronson Daniels: Bro talk about shit and we acting like Andre Walker ain’t at our brommentary booth. Don’t flatter him by complimenting him.
Andre Walker: Shut the fuck up I didn’t ask you, you fucking bozo.
Rich Russillo: Sturgis up onto a knee as Ogawa grabs him by the arm and sends him into an Irish whip into the corner! Sturgis bouncing out of the corner as he stumbles forward falling coy to Ogawa, BUT STURGIS TRYING TO FAKE HIM OUT AS HE KICKS HIM RIGHT IN THE GUT! STUNNER- BUT OGAWA PUSHES HIM AWAY! STURGIS TURNS AROUND AS HIS PLANNING SEEMED TO FAIL HIM AND OGAWA QUICKLY GRABS HIM! VERTICLE SUPLEX, INTO A STUNNER! NEUROTOXIN CONNECTS ONTO STURGIS AS OGAWA QUICKLY ROLLS HIM OVER ONTO HIS BACK AND GOES FOR THE PIN! COULD WE BE SEEING OUR NEXT COMPETITOR IN THE NEW BREED CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH AT PAIN FOR PRIDE?!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHH-
James Peters: SHAWN STURGIS MANAGING TO POWER OUT AGAIN! Ogawa seemingly growing frustrated at the continued persistence of ‘The Gothic Monarch’ at the moment as he begins to get up to his feet and watch Sturgis slowly arise as well. Ogawa quickly running forward to Sturgis who’s on all fours, OGAWA RAMMING A KNEE AIMED RIGHT FOR HIS GUT- BUT STURGIS MANAGES TO PULL HIMSELF OUT OF THE RING AS HE TUMBLES RIGHT DOWN TO RINGSIDE! Ogawa leaving the ring and heading over onto the apron right now as he quickly runs forward- BUT STURGIS SWEEPING HIS LEG SENDING OGAWA HIMSELF FALLING DOWN TO THE RINGSIDE AREA! Sturgis quickly bringing Ogawa up not wasting any time taking the advantage in this matchup! STURGIS THROWING OGAWA RIGHT INTO THE PLEXIGLASS WALL SENDING HIM DOWN TO THE GROUND!
Rich Russillo: Sturgis quickly grabbing him and rolling him into the ring as he follows as well. Sturgis grabbing Ogawa by the neck and pulling him up to his feet, BUT OGAWA GOING RIGHT FOR HIM! OGAWA WITH VICIOUS FOREARMS RIGHT TO HIS HEAD TRYING TO STUN STURGIS AND SENDING HIM BACK! BUT STURGIS MANAGING TO GRAB ONE OF OGAWA’S LETHAL FOREARMS AND PUSH THEM BACK AS HE GRABS HIM AND SPINS HIM AROUND, GERMAN SUPLEX SENDS OGAWA DOWN TO THE GROUND NECK FIRST! BUT THAT DOESN’T DETER HIM AS OGAWA PULLS HIMSELF UP TO HIS FEET FEELING COMPLETELY UNAFFECTED WITH A BURST OF ENERGY, SPIKE DDT BY OGAWA ABSOLUTELY IMPALING STURGIS HEADFIRST INTO THE GROUND!
Bronson Daniels: Ouch! I’ll admit to you right now bro they got that motivation. Yeah, I see that fire, and believe me that should be in anyone if they want to succeed in this business. But Bronson Daniels? :blessed: :blessed:
Andre Walker: Bro what the fuck is with you?
Bronson Daniels: What? Don’t tell me you ain’t gonna sit here and hype yourself up? You gotta do it, believe me I know all the little bros and broettes at home want me to win, just solidifying that stance.
Andre Walker: I don’t need to restate my claim to fame because they should already know what I’m fighting for. They know my passion, they ain’t gonna need a reminder when I lay your ass down on the mat. Besides you dumb as hell, didn’t you fucking burn down your set on Showdown or sumthing?
Bronson Daniels: :mjpls: I’ve never heard such a thing in my life.
Persephone: God please help me…
Andre Walker: Hey look, more company look at that fucking dwarf.
(Everyone slowly shifts their attention to the stage as none other than the New Breed Champion himself Jalyn Garcia makes his way out from the backstage area. He stands there as he slowly watches the match unfold, of course, because it determines the fate of his Pain For Pride match)
Bronson Daniels: Ew.
James Peters: Well it seems our New Breed Champion has also joined us at the stage, but away from that. Anyways Ogawa catching a breath as Sturgis is up to his feet, Sturgis running right to Ogawa who’s situated right in the corner! OGAWA WITH A BACK ELBOW RIGHT TO THE FACE OF STURGIS SENDING HIM BACKWARDS AND CREATING SOME DISTANCE! Ogawa quickly climbing up to the top rope as Sturgis is gaining focus, OGAWA WITH A AXE HANDLE-
Rich Russillo: BUT STURGIS WITH A KNEE! STURGIS WITH A BIG KNEE WHICH CATCHES OGAWA IN MID-AIR SENDING HIM CRUMBLING DOWN TO THE GROUND! STURGIS COLLAPSES DOWN IN EXHAUSTION AS WELL AS BOTH OF THEM ARE OUT! What a match that we’ve seen so far as clearly both of the men in this match have done so much to gain a shot at the New Breed Championship at Pain For Pride, that’s the name of the game!
Persephone: All for nothing…
Andre Walker: Yeah they really just carpet mats.
Bronson Daniels: I don’t really care bro?
James Peters: Sturgis slowly beginning to arise as Ogawa is beginning to do so as well while we’re at it. AND BOTH OF THEM ARE ABSOLUTELY BEGINNING TO TEE OFF ON ONE ANOTHER! BOTH OF THEM ARE NOT WASTING ANY TIME GOING BACK AND FORTH WITH MULTIPLE PUNCHES TO ONE ANOTHER TRYING TO TAKE ONE ANOTHER OFF THEIR GAME! OGAWA MANAGING TO GET THE ADVANTAGE AS HE SENDS A VICIOUS HEADBUTT RIGHT TO THE HEAD OF STURGIS! OGAWA RUNNING TO THE ROPES AND BACK, STURGIS WITH A SHOULDER TACKLE SENDING OGAWA DOWN! BOTH OF THEM GETTING RIGHT UP AS OGAWA RUNS RIGHT TOWARDS OGAWA, OGAWA WITH MASAKARI- BUT STURGIS DUCKS UNDER! STURGIS GRABS HIM AND TURNS HIM AROUND WHILE OGAWA IS DISTRACTED!
Rich Russillo: GUILLOTINE! FRONT FLIP STUNNER RIGHT ONTO OGAWA SENDING HIM DOWN! STURGIS ISN’T DONE AS HE QUICKLY BRINGS OGAWA UP TO HIS FEET! SEVEN! SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMB SLAMS OGAWA RIGHT DOWN TO THE MAT AND TAKES HIM DOWN TO THE GROUND! STURGIS QUICKLY TRANSITIONING AS HE HOOKS THE LEG! THIS MIGHT BE LIGHTS OUT FOR OGAWA AS THE REF BEGINS TO START THE COUNT!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTTHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(‘Lonely Day’ plays up as Shawn Sturgis rolls off a bruised and battered Komatsu Ogawa. Sturgis is in a shitton of pain as he breaths heavily as he slowly pulls himself up to his feet. He looks down at his tag partner as he holds out a hand. Ogawa accepts it and pulls himself up as well as Ogawa raises Sturgis’ hand in victory. They both hug each other as Ogawa rolls out of the ring as Sturgis starts to celebrate around the ring)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen here is your winner…SHAWN STURGIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
James Peters: SHAWN STURGIS IS HEADING TO PAIN FOR PRIDE-
Andre Walker: Sorry to bother you on this little monologue, this shit done right?
Persephone: Thankfully.
Andre Walker: Iight bet y’all better move.
Bronson Daniels: :krabs:!!!
(Andre immediately leaps after Bronson and sends him down to the ground. Andre gets to his feet and begins to stomp the everliving shit out of Bronson for all the pain he caused him during the commentary session)
James Peters: OH LORD HERE WE GO AS BOTH BRONSON AND ANDRE ARE GOING AT IT! THEY’RE EXCHANGING FIST BACK AND FORTH AS CLEARLY THERE’S NO LOVE LOSS BETWEEN THE TWO COMPETITORS AT PAIN FOR PRIDE! STURGIS IS NOTICING AS HE’S PULLING HIMSELF TO HIS FEET! I THINK HE WANTS TO JOIN IN LOOK WHAT HE’S DOING!
Rich Russillo: SUICIDE CANNONBALL! STURGIS TAKING DOWN EVERYONE AS HE JOINS IN ON THE BRAWL WITH HIS PAIN FOR PRIDE COMPETITORS! MEANWHILE ON THE STAGE I DON’T THINK OUR CHAMPION JALYN GARCIA IS REALLY IMPRESSED AT THIS!
(The camera then cuts to Jalyn on the stage watching everything happen as the brawl continues to unfold him. As security passes by him Jalyn simply shakes his head. He makes sure to raise the New Breed Championship up one last time before turning around and walking away to the backstage area. The last shot is of security separating all three of his challengers as Voltage fades out to commercial break.)
(Commercial break.)
(Voltage returns to the black backdrop. Another Cash in the Vault 2020 competitor takes their seat and looks into the camera.)
Narrator: State your name.
???: My name is MITSUBACHI. I am The Silent Animal and I’m a competitor in the Cash In The Vault match.
Narrator: Why are you going to win Cash in the Vault?
MITSUBACHI: Balance comes to my mind if we are talking about the reasons why I could win. If you’re asking everyone that is not me, they would say that they are going to win because they are the best. I don’t have that kind of mindset and I think that is the thing that would make me stand out. I don’t think that I’m better than everyone in this match at all but I can say that I have balance.
Narrator: Who’s your biggest competition in the match? Why?
(MITSUBACHI stops to think for a moment.)
MITSUBACHI: Anyone can be a big competition in this match. I don’t feel like I deserve to call someone my biggest competition in this match since everyone is important here. The only thing that made them different is their attitude. Some wrestlers can give you the vibe of a friendly competition but some will probably do their best to piss everyone off. Everyone is equally strong and all of them has potential.
Narrator: What lengths are you willing to go to in order to win this match and get your hands on that briefcase?
MITSUBACHI: I will do my best. Even if that is the most generic answer someone could give, I am sure that it makes sense. I am not going to hope for the briefcase to just fall in my hands.
Narrator: How do you plan on changing EAW as we know should you become world champion?
MITSUBACHI: EAW is in a great state but if you’re asking about my plan if I did become world champion, I can answer the question easily. I have a feeling that we have to appreciate everyone on the roster. We should give all of them a chance. If I am a world champion, I will give opportunities to everyone.
Narrator: Any words for you fellow Cash in the Vault competitors?
(The talented Showdown Elitist cracks a smile.)
MITSUBACHI: I would’ve wanted to say good luck. However, maybe I shouldn’t be too nice. For my opponents, I want to see all of you do your best. That’s not too generic, right?
(MITSUBACHI shrugs and gets up, leaving the scene, as Voltage fades back to the ringside area.)
(Bella Braxton is ready to announce the next match.)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen… the following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
Bella Braxton: Introducing first..
(‘Bad Medicine’ by Bon Jovi hits, and immediately the small crowd begins to boo as Dr. Bethany Blue walks out to the stage. She doesn’t have a very happy look on her face, with the reason being pretty obvious after what happened on Voltage last week between herself and Alexis Chambers, but nonetheless Dr. Blue is focused on her match for tonight, as this could be an opportunity to send a message to Alexis before Pain for Pride.)
Bella Braxton: Making her way to the ring… Residing in Boca Raton, Florida… Weighing in at 125 pounds… DOOOCTOOORRR BETTHANNNYY BLUUUEEEE!!!!!
James Peters: Dr. Bethany Blue, we all know just how talented of a competitor she is, but I’m sure she’s extra motivated to win tonight knowing the possibility of Alexis Chambers, or even Jake Smith watching this. Dr. Blue would love to make a statement here ahead of her mud wrestling match with Alexis, and if she were to lose tonight that’d probably do a lot of damage going into Pain for Pride.
Rich Russillo: She may be extra motivated, but she could also be too caught up in everything else going on to be prepared for this match. Seth Osiris has yet to truly make his mark here on Voltage, and with Bethany more worried about Alexis and Jake, this could be his chance to really prove himself and get a huge win against a big player here.
Persephone: Neither of them are any good, so this match could go either way for all I care. As long as it’s not a long match.
(‘Bow Down’ by I Prevail follows, and the reaction becomes more mixed as Seth Osiris walks out to the stage. He doesn’t waste any time, and immediately begins to walk down the ramp, clearly focused on his opponent, as Dr. Bethany Blue is a very difficult opponent to try and defeat. A win here tonight could do wonders for Seth Osiris, and it’s clear he isn’t going to try and throw the match away.)
Bella Braxton: And her opponent… From the Swamps of Louisiana…. Weighing in at 212 pounds….. SSEEEEEETTTTHHHHH OOOOOSSSIIIIIIIIRRRRRIISSSSS!!!!
James Peters: Well, I guess this is a doctor versus doctor match! As we all know Seth works as both a therapist and a morgue worker, but tonight he needs to do his best as a wrestler, against a doctor that’s already managed to find a lot of success here. Dr. Bethany Blue is more than likely not gonna let up, so Seth needs to give this match his all. He hasn’t been here very long, so there’s always the chance he could surprise us all tonight.
Rich Russillo: That’s exactly what I think will happen. For Seth Osiris this is a huge opportunity, meanwhile I doubt Dr. Bethany Blue cares that much about Seth. This is his chance to truly make a mark here on Voltage, and doing so right before Pain for Pride could prove to be extremely beneficial.
Persephone: Yeah, yeah whatever.
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
James Peters: And this match is officially underway! Dr. Bethany Blue versus Seth Osiris! The two competitors going to lock up now, and Seth Osiris is able to power Dr. Blue into the corner! I’m sure there’s a lot on Bethany’s mind this week knowing the match she’s going to be competing in at Pain for Pride, hopefully that doesn’t affect her performance tonight. The referee separating the two in the corner, and surprising enough neither competitor goes for a cheap shot- instead locking up once again! The two struggling for control, but Bethany manages to lock in a headlock!
Rich Russillo: Osiris lifts Bethany up for a back suplex, but Bethany manages to land on her feet! Bethany now grabbing Seth’s arm and trying to set up for a hammerlock, but Osiris is quickly able to connect with a forearm before she could do so! Osiris now with a headlock takedown! Bethany is in a bit of trouble as Osiris was able to actually bring her down to the mat, she needs to find a way to escape the headlock and fast! Bethany trying to reach out to the ropes, but she’s without a doubt way too far to have any chance of reaching them!
Persephone: Bethany managed to turn herself over onto her stomach, and now she’s getting back up to her feet slowly. Bethany managed to make it up to one foot, and now she’s running towards the ropes while still in Seth’s headlock, before sending Seth into the ropes, forcing him to release the headlock as he bounces off of them. Bethany connects with an armdrag as Seth bounced off the opposite pair of ropes, and now she put him in a rear chinlock. Hmm, you guys think Dr. Blue has anything that’d put me to sleep quickly?
James Peters: She probably does. Not sure why you’d want anything like that though, this match looks like it’s started to heat up as Seth is getting back up! Seth now, driving his elbow into Dr. Blue’s midsection! Seth with a snapmare now before running the ropes, AND HE JUST BOOTS DR. BLUE IN THE FACE! Bethany is getting back up as this match hasn’t gone on long yet, but now Seth grabs Bethany by the arm, AND GOES FOR A SHORT ARM CLOTHE- NO! BETHANY DUCKED IT BEFORE PULLING HIM IN WITH A RIPCORD SETUP, AND THERE’S A FOREARM BY BETHANY!
Rich Russillo: Dr. Blue now with an irish whip to the corner before charging in, and she connects with a forearm smash in the corner! Seth stumbling out of the corner, and now Bethany runs the ropes- AND SETH ATTEMPTED A CLOTHESLINE BUT BETHANY DUCKED IT- JUST FOR SETH TO CONNECT WITH THE CLOTHESLINE THIS TIME! Seth picking Bethany up now, AND HE ATTEMPTS TO END THIS MATCH QUICKLY AS HE ATTEMPTED THE EAT AT THE TABLE, BUT BETHANY MANAGES TO SLIP OUT OF HIS GRASP! BETHANY NOW WITH A JUMPING NECKBREAKER, FOLLOWED BY THE FIRST COVER OF THE MATCH!
ONE!-
Persephone: Yuck, Seth Osiris kicked out. It was a pretty fast kick out too, so I’m probably gonna be forced to sit here for a while longer, aren’t I? Bethany backing up into the corner as Seth is trying to get back up, AND BETHANY GOES FOR A RUNNING KNEE LIFT, but Seth Osiris managed to move out of the way. Bethany turning around and charging towards Seth, AND SETH GOES FOR A FLAPJACK- but Bethany manages to grab onto the top turnbuckle and land on the middle rope. Bethany turning around, before diving and connecting with a diving dropkick!
James Peters: Seth doing his best to try and get up quickly- BUT BETHANY STOMPS ONTO HIS ARM! Seth holding his arm in pain now, and we all know Bethany does have that devastating Fujiwara armbar submission. Things could get bad for Seth Osiris if he isn’t careful from here on. Bethany picking Seth up now, AND SHE TRIES TO SEND HIM INTO THE RINGPOST BUT HE MANAGES TO STOP HIMSELF PUTTING HIS FOOT ON THE MIDDLE TURNBUCKLE! Seth grabbing Bethany, BEFORE SLAMMING HER FACE ONTO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! Seth now running the ropes as Bethany stumbles out of the corner, AND SETH SENDS BETHANY OUT OF THE RIN-
Rich Russillo: BETHANY PULLS DOWN THE ROPES! Seth Osiris just flew out of the ring as he attempted to take Bethany out! Bethany now rolling out from under the bottom rope, AND JUST AS SETH GETS TO HIS FEET DR. BLUE RAMS HIM INTO THE BARRICADE! Dr. Blue grabbing Seth now, AND SHE SENDS HIM INTO THE STEEL STEPS! Seth is in trouble right now clearly, but what’s Bethany thinking now? Seth is leaning on the steps, but now Dr. Blue is grabbing that same arm she stepped on earlier- AND SHE JUST SWUNG IT RIGHT INTO THE RING POST!!
Persephone: Ouch, that looks like it hurt. Maybe we can just call off the match now. Oh, or not, Dr. Blue isn’t finished I guess. She just grabbed Seth and slammed his face into the apron before rolling him back into the ring. Bethany sliding in as well, and hopefully she’s going for the- SMALL PACKAGE FROM SETH OSIRIS! YES! THE MATCH IS OVER!
ONE! TWO-
Persephone: Or not. Wow this guy sucks. You know, I didn’t think it’d be possible to get any uglier than Charlie Marr, but I think Charlie might actually have some competition now.
James Peters: Anyways, Just as both competitors got back to their feet, Bethany managed to kick Seth in the midsection! Bethany now, with a knee lift to the midsection! Bethany attempting to lift Seth up for a suplex now, but Seth manages to land on his feet before picking Bethany up, AND CONNECTING WITH A SUPLEX OF HIS OWN! SETH NOT FINISHED THERE THOUGH AS HE ROLLS BACK TO HIS FEET, AND DROPS BETHANY WITH A SECOND SUPLEX! SETH OSIRIS NOW GOING FOR THE COVER AFTER HITTING TWO CONSECUTIVE SUPLEXES ON THE DOCTOR!
ONE! TWO-
Rich Russillo: AND THERE’S A KICK OUT! Seth looks a bit frustrated that Bethany was able to kick out there, but he needs to stay on the offense! Seth pulling Dr. Blue back to her feet, and it looks like he’s attempting that short arm clothesline again- BUT BETHANY IS ABLE TO DRAG HIM DOWN TO THE MAT INSTEAD! THE DISLOCATION!! DR. BETHANY BLUE HAS THE FUJIWARA ARMBAR LOCKED IN ON THE SAME ARM THAT SHE HAD ATTACKED NOT TOO LONG AGO! SETH OSIRIS IS IN A LOT OF TROUBLE HERE! SETH TRYING TO REACH OUT, BUT THERE’S NO ROPES CLOSE ENOUGH FOR HIM TO GRAB ON TO!
Persephone: Oh brother. Why is he still trying? Can he just tap out already? Isn’t it just going to hurt him more if he doesn’t just give up already? I don’t know why people value winning over their own health so much, it’s pretty weird. Dr. Bethany Blue has the ability to seriously injure Seth Osiris right now, and honestly I hope she does injure him. That, or he taps out. Anything to get these two out of the ring as soon as possible.
James Peters: Seth Osiris is still trying to reach out to the ropes, but now I think he’s finally given up and realized he needs to either drag himself to the ropes with Bethany holding the submission, or find a way out of it! This is, at least in my opinion, one of the most dangerous submissions to be trapped in! It’s not easy to get out of, and Dr. Bethany Blue can seriously hurt Osiris just like Persephone said! I hate to agree with Persephone over something like this, but if I were Seth I’d tap out right now! Especially seeing all the stuff Dr. Blue has been through in recent weeks, I wouldn’t be surprised if she wanted to take out some of her anger on Osiris like this. Osiris needs to-
Rich Russillo: OSIRIS JUST USED HIS FREE ARM TO GRAB DR. BLUE’S HAIR! SETH JUST GRABBED HER HAIR, AND NOW HE’S JUST PULLING AS HARD AS HE CAN! DR. BETHANY BLUE IS FORCED TO LET GO OF THE SUBMISSION AS SETH AT THIS POINT WAS PROBABLY COMING CLOSE TO TEARING HER HAIR RIGHT OFF OF HER HEAD, BUT WOW! What a creative way to escape the submission by Seth Osiris!
Persephone: Wow. Well that sucks, this match is probably gonna go on for a while longer now. Both competitors are getting back to their feet, and Seth just hit Bethany with a forearm that made her stumble. Bethany manages to retaliate with one of her own, and that causes Seth to bounce off the ropes- BEFORE HITTING THE DISCUS LARIA- Oh nevermind. Dr. Blue ducked under the discus lariat. WAIT, THE REMEDY- Nope. Another counter, Seth managed to push Dr. Blue away- BEFORE THIS TIME HITTING THE DISCUS LARIAT! YES! HURRY UP AND PIN HER! SETH OSIRIS GOING FOR THE COVER, FINALLY!
ONE! TWO!! THRE-
James Peters: DR. BETHANY BLUE MANAGES TO GET THE SHOULDER UP!
Persephone: I hate this.
James Peters: Dr. Bethany Blue is somehow still in this match despite being turned inside out by that discus lariat! Seth Osiris is in shock after that one! Seth Osiris pulling Bethany back to her feet, BEFORE USING ALL HIS POWER TO SEND BETHANY CRASHING INTO THE TURNBUCKLES! Seth Osiris using his power advantage over Bethany here to do as much damage as he can, and now he picks her up, possibly looking for a powerbomb!
Rich Russillo: BETHANY IS DOING HER BEST TO FIGHT OUT OF IT! BETHANY PUNCHING AWAY AT OSIRIS, AND NOW SHE ATTEMPTS A HURRICANRANA, BUT SETH IS ABLE TO HOLD HER! WAIT, BETHANY NOW GRABBING SETH’S ARM BEFORE PULLING HER LEG UNDER IT, AND SHE MANAGES TO TRANSITION INTO A TRIANGLE CHOKE! ONCE AGAIN BETHANY IS TARGETING THE SAME ARM THAT SHE’S WENT AFTER THIS WHOLE MATCH, AND SETH OSIRIS IS REALLY IN TROUBLE HERE! Seth Osiris is still on his feet, but a triangle choke is probably going to be difficult to get out of when the arm Bethany is holding was on the verge of injury moments ago!
Persephone: You see what I mean? If only Seth just tapped out earlier he could’ve been doing perfectly fine. Now he’s trapped in another submission, and he probably won’t be able to get out of this one. It’s pretty funny to be honest, the guy’s such an idiot he managed to find himself in the same position as he was just a few moments ago. Dr. Bethany Blue is going to force Seth Osiris to tap out or pass out, the two are in the center of the ring and it’s not like he can just pull her hair again while in a submission like that.
James Peters: WAIT, YOU MAY BE WRONG PERSEPHONE! SETH IS SOMEHOW POWERING BETHANY BACK UP INTO THE POWERBOMB POSITION WHILE STILL TRAPPED IN THE TRIANGLE CHOKE, AND NOW SETH CHARGES INTO THE CORNER! BUCKLE BOMB!! SETH JUST DROPPED BETHANY WITH A BUCKLE BOMB, AND BOTH COMPETITORS DROP TO THE MAT, BUT SETH ONCE AGAIN FOUND AN AMAZING WAY TO ESCAPE BETHANY’S SUBMISSION! Seth using the ropes to pull himself back to his feet, and after a few moments it looks like Bethany is beginning to get back up as well- BUT ONLY FOR SETH TO DROP HER WITH A YAKUZA KICK TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD!
Rich Russillo: BETHANY LOOKS COMPLETELY OUT OF IT AFTER THAT YAKUZA KICK! SETH DRAGGING HER AWAY FROM THE ROPES TO MAKE SURE SHE CAN’T GRAB ONTO THEM, AND NOW HE GOES FOR THE COVER! IT LOOKS LIKE THIS MAY BE IT!
ONE! TWO!! THREE!!!
Rich Russillo: WHAT!? HOW!? ONCE AGAIN DR. BETHANY BLUE MANAGED TO SURVIVE!! SETH OSIRIS SLAMMING HIS HANDS ONTO THE MAT, AND I CAN UNDERSTAND HIS ANGER HERE! Seth Osiris had this in the bag, but somehow, even after hitting both a buckle bomb AND a yakuza kick to the back of the head, Dr. Bethany Blue managed to stay in the match!
Persephone: Whatever. I don’t know how she managed to kick out of that, but as long as this one finishes soon, that’s fine with me. Dr. Bethany Blue shouldn’t have anything left anyway after a combination like that, so it shouldn’t be hard for Seth to finish the match unless he’s just that terrible of a wrestler. Seth Osiris picking Bethany up now, and it looks like he’s once again going for the Eat at the Table-
James Peters: AND ONCE AGAIN DR. BETHANY BLUE MANAGES TO ESCAPE, THIS TIME FOLLOWING IT UP BY PULLING SETH INTO A SCHOOL BOY ROLL UP!
ONE! TWO!!
James Peters: SETH OSIRIS KICKS OUT, BUT THERE’S THE TJD JUST AS HE GETS BACK UP!! THAT SUPERKICK CONNECTED SQUARE IN THE JAW, BUT DR. BETHANY BLUE GRABS SETH BEFORE HE COULD FALL! DR. BLUE NOW GRABBING THE HURT ARM AND RAISING IT UP, BEFORE CONNECTING WITH THE HEART PUNCH! SETH OSIRIS WAS JUST HIT WITH CODE BLUE, AND NOW THERE’S THE COVER BY DR. BLUE!!!
ONE! TWO!! THREE!!!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Bella Braxton: Here is your winner….. DOCTORRRR BEETTHAANNNYYYY BLLLUUUUUUUUUEEEEEE!!!!!!
James Peters: And there it is! Dr. Bethany Blue with an impressive victory before Pain for Pride! I’m sure there’s a lot more on Dr. Bethany Blue’s mind than this match, but can we just talk about her performance here? For a good portion of this match Dr. Bethany Blue was just going after Seth Osiris’ arm. Stomping on it, slamming it into the ring post, and all of the submissions. The entire match Seth had to escape Dr. Blue’s calculated offense, but in the end it wasn’t enough as Bethany was able to catch him with the TJD, and then the Code Blue!
Rich Russillo: Dr. Bethany Blue did great, but let’s not act like Seth Osiris was some slouch. He’s much newer to this company, but he still managed to stand his ground against Dr. Bethany Blue, a former Interwire Champion! Seth came close on more than one occasion to winning this match, and somehow he did manage to escape everything Bethany threw at him. Had he hit that last Eat at the Table, I honestly think Seth could’ve won this. However, he didn’t. I’m sure Alexis Chambers and especially Jake Smith were watching this one closely, congratulations Dr. Bethany Blue!
Persephone: Another match down… Just a few more until Sexy Rexy time.
(‘Bad Medicine’ hits, and the crowd immediately begins to boo. Dr. Bethany Blue doesn’t seem to care about the booing though, as she gets to her feet and allows the referee to raise her hand. She doesn’t celebrate for too long, still clearly thinking about Alexis Chambers and her Pain for Pride match, and in the meantime Seth Osiris begins to roll out of the ring. Dr. Bethany Blue finally exits the ring and makes her way up the ramp as Voltage fades out to a commercial break.)
(Commercial break.)
(Voltage returns and Dynasty Elitist, SOSA Henderson, is seen sitting in front of the camera. Like always, the charismatic SOSA is oozing confidence.)
Narrator: State your name.
SOSA Henderson: ”BULLETPROOF” SOSA HENDERSON
(SOSA’s mega-watt grin is infectious.)
Narrator: Why are you going to win Cash in the Vault?
SOSA Henderson: Because I’m the most electrifying Elitist in this company today and these bitches wanna see SOSA as World Champion.
Narrator: Who’s your biggest competition in the match? Why?
SOSA Henderson: I’m my only competition. There’s no man that SOSA can’t beat. The only way I lose is if I beat myself.
Narrator: What lengths are you willing to go to in order to win this match and get your hands on that briefcase?
(A little chuckle escapes from SOSA and he raises his sunglasses so everyone can get a good look into his eyes.)
SOSA Henderson: By any means necessary. I’ll die for this moment that I almost achieved against Noah Reigner last year.
Narrator: How do you plan on changing EAW as we know should you become world champion?
SOSA Henderson: As World Champion, I plan on having competition thrive and invest more in creativity and shed the Hollywood lights on this company.
Narrator: Any words for you fellow Cash in the Vault competitors?
SOSA Henderson: I understand we all have the potential to be great. And we all wanna climb the top of the ladder but there’s only enough for one to stand above all else. And that man is gonna be me! This moment will solidify me as the Comeback King! AND SHOW THESE FOOLS WHY BITCHES LOVE SOSA!!!
(The narrator can’t help herself. She lets out a dreamy sigh, completely breaking character, as SOSA gets up and heads out.)
(The camera cuts back to the ringside area)
Bella Braxton: The following contest is set for one fall…
(‘Natural’ by Imagine Dragons plays up as Terry Chambers shows up on stage. He looks confident and focused as he walks down the ramp)
Bella Braxton: Introducing first… from Los Angeles, California, weighing in at 287 pounds… The Barbaric Carnivore…. TERRY CHAMBERS!!!
James Peters: It’s been a long time coming for this man, Terry Chambers. Now he is just fingertips away from getting to Pain for Pride and fight for the Interwire Championship who has eluded him in the past. He won it, lost it, was inches close to recapturing it and now… he gets another chance to win it!
Rich Russillo: Yeah and let’s not forget about the history between him and Consuela. Sure, they’ve both had rough seasons, they all had their rivalries and dark moments… but they also have something to prove to each other. What better way to settle their score than by fighting it out at Pain for Pride?
(‘La Guayaba’ by Riccie Oriach plays up as Terry Chambers rolls inside the ring. SEBAS appears on stage as the crowd is going crazy! SEBAS Waves at the crowd and then starts running down the ramp)
Bella Braxton: And his opponent, from Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, weighing in at 205 pounds… SEBAS!
Rich Russillo: Do not count SEBAS out just yet. Sure, Terry vs Consuela is the perfect climax in the eyes of many but this man here is the very definition of wildcard. Tonight he might be pulling the upset of the season and win his way to the Interwire Championship.
James Peters: You can say that again. SEBAS has been doing great in his first months in EAW and I am sure tonight he is going to ride that wave of momentum. Lord knows how far it is going to push this young man!
(SEBAS hops on the apron and then jumps over the top rope as his theme fades out)
(DING DING DING)
James Peters: The match is underway, high stakes here tonight on Voltage! Remember, whoever wins this match is going straight to Pain for Pride and will fight for the Interwire Championship! Both SEBAS and Terry Chambers are going for a lock up in the middle of the ring, it looks like a collar and elbow tie up to start things off, but I’m not sure it’s a wise move for SEBAS as Terry Chambers is a lot stronger than him and he can use his massive strength to his advantage. Terry Chambers outpowers SEBAS with ease and pushes him all the way to the corner, the referee now has to step between the two and break them up. Let’s see if the break is going to be clean or if either one of the two is going to try and get an advantage over the other…
Rich Russillo: No, it looks like the break was clean! Terry Chambers backs off without hitting SEBAS with no cheap shots nor anything. Both athletes are now back in the middle of the squared circle and they both nod to each other. Terry made things clear earlier this week, he said he has massive respect for SEBAS and it looks like he’s gonna stick by what he said. The stakes might be high but the pride and the honor these two Elitists have go well beyond them.
Persephone: Boooooooring.
James Peters: Terry Chambers charges in yet again, don’t mistake kindness for lack of intensity because these two are absolutely going to tear down the house tonight. SEBAS is lighting quick on his feet though and he ducks under just in time, Terry Chambers misses his target completely as SEBAS rebounds off the ropes and hits him with a Dropkick! The big man is stunned but he is still on his feet, SEBAS charges in yet again with another Dropkick…. but AGAIN Terry Chambers is still on his feet although he is stunned. Maybe third time’s the charm, SEBAS runs the ropes yet again and goes for yet another drop kick… NOOO WHAT AN INSANE LARIAT BY TERRY CHAMBERS, HE JUST TOOK HIS HEAD OFF THERE! SEBAS COLLAPSES TO THE CANVAS HARD AS TERRY CHAMBERS GOES FOR AN EARLY PIN ATTEMPT…
ONEEEEE
Persephone: Two! Three!
Rich Russillo: Kickout by SEBAS! No way he was going to lose this early in the match but my God, what a brutal impact by Terry Chambers! Sure he might be respecting his opponent, but he is still the Barbaric Carnivore for a reason and tonight he proved just why he has earned that nickname! Terry Chambers still in control as SEBAS stumbles back to his feet, Terry now with a strong Irish Whip to the corner… SEBAS hits the turnbuckle pads hard but he is still on his feet. Not the position you want to be in when you are fighting Terry Chambers! The Barbaric Carnivore charges in for a devastating splash! SEBAS collapses butt first on the mat and he is now in a seated position, still in the corner. That position might be even worse! OH NO, TERRY CHAMBERS WITH THE CANNON BALL! HE HAS JUST FLATTENED SEBAS WITH A BRUTAL RUNNING MOVE, GUYS THIS MIGHT BE IT FOR SEBAS!
James Peters: Smart move by Terry Chambers: he doesn’t go for the cover, he decides instead to make the most out of the position of power he has and he is trying to follow up. He picks SEBAS up and steps away from the corner. He hooks his powerful arm around his neck… Exploder Suplex time? No, SEBAS has better plans! SEBAS fighting for his life there, he somehow manages to plant a couple of well placed elbows to the neck of Terry who has no choice but to let him go. SEBAS charges in… SEBAS WITH A TORNADO DDT, HE HAS JUST SPIKED TERRY’S HEAD TO THE CANVAS, OH MAN! WHAT A BRUTAL ANGLE THAT DDT HAD, SEBAS WASTES NO TIME AND GOES FOR THE COVER, WILL HE CAPITALIZE!?
ONEEEEE
TWOOOOOOO
James Peters: POWERFUL Kickout by Terry Chambers. It’s going to take a lot more than that to keep the big man down!
Persephone: Are you sure? I think some Doritos are more than enough to keep Terry down… on his sofa.
James Peters: Can you stop with these comments? You are terribly unoriginal. Also there’s nothing wrong in weighing a little more than your opponents, it might give you a competitive advantage just like we’ve seen her tonight with Terry Chambers! Anyways back to the action, SEBAS is going all out here tonight as he stomps the arm of Terry with brutal accuracy, and that’s a smart move! If you take out the arms, Terry won’t be able to do any heavy lifting. SEBAS now is locking in a Kimura Lock variation, really trying to wear down the big man. The referee asks Terry if he wants to give up but the Barbaric Carnivore firmly shakes his head and says no, he wants to continue. Wait a moment, Terry is powering through! He has somehow changed position and he is now putting his weight on his legs as he tries to lift SEBAS up with him… SEBAS IS TRAPPED! TERRY CHAMBERS WITH A BRUTAL BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX! HE TRANSITIONED FROM THE KIMURA TO A BELLY TO BELLY IN A SEAMLESS FASHION! I AM STUNNED!
Rich Russillo: Yeah but he’s not done yet. SEBAS tries to regroup in the corner, he is using the ropes as leverage to get back to his feet… but Terry Chambers does not want to let up and he charges in yet again! NO! SEBAS DUCKED OUT OF THE WAY JUST IN TIME AND TERRY CHAMBERS WAS SENT SHOULDER FIRST AGAINST THE TURNBUCKLE! OH MY GOD WHAT A COLLISION! SEBAS WASTES NO TIME AS HE PULLS TERRY CHAMBERS BY HIS TIGHTS AND GOES FOR A ROLL UP….
ONEEEEEE
James Peters: Terry powers out at one! But he might be hurting, guys! SEBAS doesn’t want to let up and he immediately goes for a Hammerlock to keep the big man down. Remember, Terry is insanely more powerful than him as we’ve seen first hand in the opening sequence of the match. SEBAS is playing smart here, he knows he can’t afford to give him space or else, he is going to regret it big time. The referee is checking on Terry Chambers but the Barbaric Carnivore is obviously refusing to give up. It’s going to take a lot more than that to make him quit, yet, this type of offense is still effective as it’s slowing down the pace of the match and allowing SEBAS to stay in control. SEBAS quickly transitions in a Fujiwara Armbar submission hold as he is trying to dissect the arm of Terry.
Rich Russillo: Damn! Terry Chambers was about to break free of the Hammerlock but SEBAS scouted him and he immediately transitioned in a much nastier move. Terry Chambers is now feeling the pain from the prolonged holds he’s been locked in, he as to find a way to escape it sooner rather than later. Terry now transitions to his side and firmly presses his boot on the mat. He then grabs the wrists of SEBAS and… OH NO WAY, HE IS NOT DOING THIS IS HE?! TERRY CHAMBERS WITH IMPRESSIVE RAW POWER, HE JUST DEADLIFTED SEBAS UP AND SLAMMED HIM DOWN WITH AN IMPRESSIVE SLAM! SEBAS MIGHT BE DOWN AND OUT FOR GOOD AS HE LANDED AWKWARDLY ON HIS NECK, I THINK HE MIGHT BE HURT HERE!
Persephone: So what was the point of those fancy submission holds if then Terry just manhandled him some easily just a few moments later? I swear I don’t understand these new guys….
James Peters: Impressive display of tenacity there by Terry Chambers! He simply does not know the word “quit”. Although I’m afraid the damage might have been done as the Barbaric Carnivore doesn’t seem quite able to follow up to that big move the way he wanted. SEBAS is now crawling towards the corner as he tries to use the ropes as leverage and getting back to his feet. Oh now, SEBAS is in the perfect position for yet another Cannonball, I think this might be it… TERRY CHAMBERS CHARGES IN BUT THIS TIME SEBAS ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY JUST IN TIME AS TERRY CRASHES HARD TO THE CORNER! SEBAS WITH IMPRESSIVE RING AWARENESS THERE AS TERRY CHAMBERS MIGHT HAVE HURT HIMSELF BIG TIME!
Rich Russillo: SEBAS back in the driver seat now as he immediately hops on the apron and waits for Terry Chambers to get back to his feet. He is in the perfect position for a Springboard move, but which one are we going to see here? SEBAS goes for a Springboard Crossbody… NO, TERRY CHAMBERS CAUGHT HIM IN MID AIR! TERRY SOMEHOW CAUGHT SEBAS AS HE WAS DIVING AND HE NOW HAS HIM… POWERSLAM BY TERRY CHAMBERS! SEBAS HITS THE MAT HARD AS TERRY GOES FOR THE COVER….
ONEEEEEEEE
TWOOOOO
THRE——
James Peters: Kickout by SEBAS! High stakes here tonight and look, I’ll admit. This might look frustrating to SEBAS because it seems as if he is not making a dent in Terry but he has to keep going. His strategy was great, but he has to be consistent throughout the entire match because that’s what happens when you give the Barbaric Carnivore an opening. He is going to make you pay for it big time! Terry Chambers keeps on the advtange now as he picks SEBAS back up. He wraps his arm around his neck and… OOF! Strong back Suplex by Terry Chambers, SEBAS gets sent down to the canvas yet again. But this time Terry isn’t going for the cover, instead he picks his opponent up yet again. He lifts him up in a Powerbomb position… this is definitely not the position you want to be in! SEBAS is trying his best to fight out of it, lefts and rights to the face of Terry! SEBAS SOMEHOW FOUND A WAY TO REVERSE THE POWERBOMB AND HE CONNECTED WITH A TORNADO DDT OF HIS OWN!
Rich Russillo: Terry Chambers was planted on the mat with a terrifying angle! That DDT really spiked his head as he is not moving but neither is SEBAS. Both men are down as the referee starts the count but he has to stop basically as soon as he started it because SEBAS is on his knees again. The tussle is heating up as SEBAS picks Terry Chambers back up by his hair, he gets a firm hold of his arm and goes for a single arm DDT but Terry Chambers pushes him away and he literally sends him flying to the other side of the ring! Insane strenght shown there by the Barbaric Carnivore! SEBAS IS NOT DONE YET THOUGH AND HE IMMEDIATELY GETS BACK TO HIS FEET, HE CHARGES IN BUT TERRY CATCHES HIM WITH A STIFF BIG BOOT TO THE FACE! OUCH THAT WAS ROUGH…THE COVER BY TERRY….
ONEEEE
TWOOOOO
THREEE——
James Peters: And a Kickout by SEBAS!
Persephone: HOW did he even Kickout there? Like… from a scientific point of view? How can one survive being under the weight of Terry Chambers?! He should be dead as we speak!?
James Peters: STOP IT! SEBAS is still alive as Terry is growing frustrated. The match is now slowly starting to pick up, as these two are throwing everything in their arsenal to each other in an attempt to snatch the win that is going to get them to Pain for Pride! Terry Chambers is back to his feet, he picks SEBAS up and launches him towards the ropes yet again! Terry catches him off the rebound and lifts him up over his shoulders. He is going for a Samon Drop but SEBAS wants absolutely none of it as he fights back with a series of stiff elbow shots to the face of Terry who has no choice but to let him go. SEBAS lands back on his feet and goes for a Superkick but Terry catches his foot in mid air and shakes his head. No, no, that’s not what’s going to happen here. Terry Chambers smirks as he sends SEBAS crashing to the corner. Terry now rushes in, stiff shot with his elbow… SEBAS IS STUNNED… CCS ENZIGURI KICK… NO, SEBAS GOT OUT OF THE WAY JUST IN TIME AS TERRY CHAMBERS LANDED AWKWARDLY ON THE MAT… ROUGH LANDING THERE AS TERRY TRIES TO GET BACK TO HIS FEET BUT HE GETS CAUGHT BY A CODEBREAKER! SEBAS ANNIHILATES TERRYS FACE WITH HIS KNEES! BOTH MEN COLLAPSE ON THE MAT BUT SEBAS DOES NOT GO FOR THE COVER! WHAT IN THE WORLD IS HE THINKING HERE?!
Rich Russillo: SEBAS wants to put this match away for good now that he has found an opening, this is all he needed to turn things around big time. SEBAS climbs to the top turnbuckle, he is thinking Shooting Star Elbow drop but the match has definitely taken its toll on his body, he is moving really slow, probably too slow! Terry Chambers is back up by the time SEBAS got to the top turnbuckle… but Terry has different plans! Terry Chambers with an impressive display of agility immediately hopped on his feet and he caught SEBAS with a stiff forearm shot! He just stopped him right in tracks but SEBAS found a way to hold on to the top rope! Both men are not on the top turnbuckle, a precarious position to be in, oh boy! I don’t think I can watch! TERRY CHAMBERS WRAPS HIM ARMS AROUND SEBAS AS HE LAUNCHES HIM IN A POWERFUL BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX! IS SEBAS DEAD? TERRY CHAMBERS HAS JUST SENT HIM FLYING ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE RING AND SEBAS IS COMPLETELY OUT OF IT. ALL TERRY HAS TO DO NOW IS TO CAPITALIZE BUT WAIT… IT LOOKS LIKE TERRY HURT HIMSELF IN THE LANDING, HE IS NOT MOVING AT ALL! TERRY SLOWLY CRAWLING TOWARDS SEBAS, HE FLIPS HIM OVER AND GOES FOR THE COVER….
ONEEEEEEE
TWOOOOOOOO
THRE———
Rich Russillo: SEBAS kicks out! Somehow, someway, SEBAS found enough strenght to pull a desperate Kickout late match! I am not sure how much this young man has left in his tank though! SEBAS might want to just live to fight another day here… but no, he is relentless and does not want to give an inch! Terry Chambers is in shock at the resilience displayed here tonight by SEBAS but he is showing no mercy at all! SEBAS stumbles back to his feet… Terry looks at him in the eyes…
Terry Chambers (Off mic): I’m sorry. I need this more than you.
James Peters: TERRY CHAMBERS LIFTS SEBAS OVER HIS SHOULDERS AND SENDS HIM CRASHING TO THE MAT HARD WITH A BRUTAL T5! THE T5 CONNECTS, TERRY CHAMBERS HAS JUST KILLED SEBAS AFTER AN INSANE BACK AND FORTH MATCH… THE COVER….
ONEEEEEE
TWOOOOOOO
THREEEEEEEEE
(DING DING DING)
(Natural’ by Imagine Dragons plays up once more as Terry Chambers gets his arm raised in celebration.)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and Gentlemen, here is your winner… Terry Chambers!
Rich Russillo: WOW! What a match! And what a stellar performance by SEBAS who showed the world how he can hang with the toughest dog of the yard! An insane amount of talent and resiliency displayed here tonight by SEBAS who has absolutely nothing to be ashamed of.
James Peters: It’s safe to say that Terry Chambers is ready for Pain for Pride…. HEY WAIT A MINUTE! IS THAT CONSUELA!? YES, CONSUELA ROSE AVA IS ON THE STAGE AND SHE IS LOOKING STRAIGHT AT TERRY CHAMBERS!
(The camera pans to the stage as Consuela Rose Ava is holding her Interwire Championship high above her head. The camera then cuts right back to Terry Chambers who is looking at her with fire in his eyes)
Rich Russillo: What a stare down between these two athletes… what’s going to happen at Pain For Pride?!
Persephone: I don’t know but whoever wins, we lose because it’s going to be a trash match!
(The camera cuts back and forth between the two a couple of times and then fades to a commercial.)
(Commercial break.)
(Voltage returns from commercial break in the middle of “The Galactic Dragon” Cuda’s entrance. ‘Goat’ by Polyphia would be playing to no reaction as everyone is more confused than anything. Cuda would walk up the steps then enter the ring before raising an arm in the sky, probably towards their UFO if anything.)
James Peters: To be honest, I think I’m more worried about this match if anything. We know who Charlie Marr is, but Cuda…We don’t know how they think or how they’ll act in the ring.
Bella Braxton: Introducing first…Hailing from…Cygnus A, Space…Weighing in at…210 pounds…CUUUUUUUUDAAAAAA-
(The introduction would be quickly cut off, along with the theme, as ‘It Aint Safe’ by Skepta starts playing. Charlie Marr would slowly walk onto the stage as he stares towards the ring at his opponent.)
Bella Braxton: And introducing their opponent. From Tower Hamlets, London, U.K. Weighing in at 240 pounds…CHAAAARLIEEEEEEEEEE MAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!
James Peters: And this is why I’m worried. They are up against a huge task tonight, and what Charlie will do is unknown.
Persephone: I don’t care what he does, I just hope it ends in a matter of seconds.
Rich Russillo: I’m sure it will, darling.
(Charlie Marr walks down the ramp, then up the steps onto the apron. He’d turn around to face the audience, all 20 of them at his side, before taking a deep breath and looking back towards Cuda. He’d enter the ring and walk to the corner before pushing Cuda out of the way. Charlie kneels down and grabs something from a ring-side assistant.)
James Peters: It looks like he has a microphone in his hand. I wonder what he has to say, if anything at all.
Charlie Marr: Before I lay waste to my next victim, I’m here to issue a warning to Malcolm Jones. Tonight may not be Pain for Pride but I assure you I can give you an example of what that night will be like for you since you wanted to be such a little cunt earlier this evening. You’re going to witness your end from a third party’s perspective before the end truly begins, and once I get my hands on you I swear I will tear your flesh from the bone and put you away for good. I hope you’re watching so you get a clear idea on what the match will be like for you.
(Charlie drops the microphone onto the ground before nudging it out of the ring with his foot.)
James Peters: Wow. Some, not so kind words from Charlie directed towards Malcolm Jones. And to be honest, I don’t think a single word of that was a lie.
(DING! DING! DING!)
James Peters: And here we go! The somewhat hyped debut of this ALIEN has just started but you have to wonder; Will they be able to hang with Charlie Marr? They are making their debut against a former EAW World Champion here tonight, and that must be nerve racking for them. That’s if aliens even get nervous, I seriously don’t know. The two competitors walk towards each other, none of them even scared or worried by one another it looks like. Oh and here we go, Cuda is going at it! Forearm strikes, rather weird looking ones, are being flung towards Charlie’s jaw! But he’s not taking any of it as he retaliates with a kick to the gut! Charlie with a double axe handle to Cuda’s back which sends them down to their knees. Charlie now has a hold of Cuda’s lips and begins to pull them away from their gums! Jesus Christ, that must hurt! Charlie lets go before the referee can even step in.
Rich Russillo: Tactics like that are what separate Charlie from any other performer. You’d see these other guys lock in headlocks, or at the very most punch their opponent when they’re in that position but Charlie only sees what benefits HIM and what will help him move forward in this match, which is why a move like that is smart. Oh and now look at this, Charlie is placing the alien’s head in between the top and middle turnbuckles OH! WHAT A KNEE TO THE UPPER BACK OF CUDA!
James Peters: He wasn’t wrong when he said this was a message towards Malcolm Jones and what he will do to him. He sure as hell isn’t playing around with these, quite frankly, rather disgusting tactics. But if it helps him win the match, I don’t see much wrong with it.
Rich Russillo: Now he’s bashing Cuda’s head into the middle turnbuckle as if he was a basketball! Look at the bounce his head gets after colliding with it! Charlie pulls Cuda to the middle of the ring and enters the cover!
ONEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
TWOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THREE-
Rich Russillo: It’s ove- Wait what? He just lifted the shoulders of Cuda off the ground. It’s almost like he isn’t finished with his food, or so it seems. Charlie lifts Cuda off the ground to their feet…And now ACTUALLY off the ground! What could he be looking for? Oh! He sends their back straight into the mat with a falling powerbomb! But he holds onto their legs…And he lifts them up and hits them with a second falling powerbomb! Those powerbombs sent chills down my spine, almost like I could feel it! Oh and to rub salt into the wounds he’s wiping his boot on Cuda’s mask! He’s applying more pressure to maybe damage the cheekbone or…Whatever aliens have, or to maybe temporarily blind them or blur their vision. Charlie is once again forced to let go before the referee can interfere, but I’m pretty sure Cuda is hurt as they’re grasping their face with both hands! Cuda is trying to get back to their fee- OH NO! A RUNNING KNEE STRIKE TO CUDA’S HEAD KNOCKS THEM BACK DOWN! THEY’RE NOT MOVING, COVER CHARLIE COVER!
James Peters: He’s not covering…This message to Malcolm is going to go on a little longer, huh? Charlie Marr is grabbing Cuda by their arm and dragging them towards the ropes. He lets go of Cuda’s arm and exits the ring, and now he’s pulling Cuda onto the apron. What’s he gonna do? Oh no OH GOD! HE JUST PULLED CUDA INTO THE RING POST HEAD FIRST! HE RAN TO DO IT AS WELL, SO THAT WASN’T A LIGHT LANDING! NOW LOOK AT CUDA, THEY’RE ROLLING AROUND IN THE RING WHILST HOLDING ONTO THEIR FACE IN PAIN! Charlie follows them back into the ring, and I need to say I’m worried for the wellbeing of Cuda. The match is not over just yet, and I’m sure Charlie is about to do something worse to one-up himself. As expected, Charlie is picking their opponent back up. He irish whips them into the corner before following up with a knee to the chest of their opponen- CUDA MOVES OUT OF THE WAY! CHARLIE HAS TO HOP BACKWARDS WHILST HOLDING THEIR LEG AS CUDA RUNS THE ROPES. COULD THEY BE LOOKING FOR THE PROTECTOR? CUDA RUNS BACK, BUT GETS MET WITH THE HEADMASTER RITUAL! A HUGE SNAP SPINEBUSTER TO THE ALIEN LIKE WRESTLER!
Rich Russillo: Charlie is heading up top, god knows what he’s about to do. Oh OH GOD! DEATH OR GLORY! THE DIVING EUROPEAN UPPERCUT FROM THE TOP ROPE TO A SEATED CUDA, AND THAT COULD BE IT! IT COULD BE ALL OVER FOR THEM RIGHT HERE! WHY ISN’T HE COVERING??!?!? HOLY SHIT, CHARLIE IS GOUGING THE EYES OF CUDA! IT’S LIKE HE’S PUSHING THEIR HEAD INTO THE MAT BY USING THEIR EYES TO DO SO! THIS IS HARD TO WATCH!
Persephone: Do I need to tell you to stop shouting EVERY WEEK!?!?!?
Rich Russillo: I’m sorry babe
Persephone: If this job didn’t have good pay I’d be gone already.
James Peters: The referee forces Charlie to let go of Cuda’s eyes, but with how long he drove his thumbs in there I doubt it really matters anymore. By the way Cuda is struggling to stand, their vision is blurry or completely erased. This is hard to watch, and I’m not sure how much more Cuda can take. It’d be wise to call the match off, but this is a debut we’re talking about. This makes or breaks a superstar. If they can leave a standing expression with the viewers, their support will take them to new heights but…This is just…This isn’t it.
Persephone: No one cares about Cupo anyway. All I want is Rex.
James Peters: It’s Cuda.
Persephone: Did I fucking ask?
Rich Russillo: Cupo is struggling to stand right now, whilst Charlie is untouched. He’s not hurt, not one bit. This is almost depressing, because this alien came from outer space down here to EAW only to be ruthlessly decimated by Charlie Marr in a one sided match.
James Peters: How do you guys mess up their name…? That doesn’t matter, anyway. Charlie Marr is being allowed back over to Cuda, and honestly, I don’t think that was the right call made by the referee. Cuda is clearly struggling right now, in many ways. Charlie, no! NO! DON’T GO BACK TO THE EYE-…I think he heard me. Uh, hey I didn’t mean any of that! Oh god, now he’s choking the life out of the alien with a rear naked choke! They’re gonna pass out any second now…What the hell?
Rich Russillo: The fuck, they’re unphased! They’re breathing just fine! How is Cambo standing up???? Oh my god, they’re deadlifting Charlie Ma- and they just collapsed. Welp. Charlie is now dragging the lifeless body of Cadie to the middle of the ring.
Persephone: Hopefully to end it.
James Peters: That doesn’t seem to be the case, because they’re lifting Cuda back up. Even though they keep fighting back, he isn’t getting worried. He’s taking his time. Just like now, he’s just punishing the face of his opponent rather than doing some big moves. He’s hitting forearm after forearm after forearm…He just keeps going. Oh I spoke too soon! QUEEN IS D- No! Cuda spins out of it…SPINNING BACK HEEL KIC- NO, CHARLIE DUCKS IT BEFORE HITTING A JUMPING KNEE TO THE JAW OF CUDA! CUDA FALLS DOWN TO HIS KNEES…THE QUEEN IS DEAD! DOUBLE UNDERHOOK DDT! IT CONNECTS! WHY IS HE NOT COVERING! HE’S STILL HANGING ON! CHARLIE LIFTS CUDA BACK UP…CHARING CROSS! THE DISCUS LARIAT TO MAKE SURE THE ALIEN DOESN’T COME BACK…HE FINALLY COVERS.
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
TWOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THREEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Rich Russillo: IT’S OVER! HE MADE EASY WORK OUT OF CUDA IN AN UNSETTLING MATCH, BUT IT’S OVER! I DON’T KNOW IF CUDA IS GOING TO BE TOO HAPPY ABOUT THIS…PLEASE DON’T INVADE US!
(Charlie would stand up and have his arm raised, but he’d swiftly pull it away from the referee. He wouldn’t celebrate, but instead would roll out of the ring. Charlie pulls the apron up and starts to look under.)
James Peters: Uh…Guys? What on earth is Charlie doing?
Persephone: Hopefully exiting.
Rich Russillo: Oh my god, look what’s in his hands…Is that a fucking potato peeler? And in his other is a barbed wire golf club! There is barbed wire on the end of that golf club, oh my god.
James Peters: He’s entering the ring with the potato peeler and golf club…Don’t do this, Charlie! No! NO! OH MY GOD! HE JUST SWUNG THE GOLF CLUB OVER CUDA’S BACK, HOLY WHOA! THE BARBED WIRE IS STUCK IN HIS LOWER BACK!! WHAT THE HELL IS CHARLIE DOING NOW? HE’S USING THE POTATO PEELER TO CUT UP THE BARBED WIRE INTO TINY PIECES. OH GOD HE’S PLACING THOSE PIECES INTO CUDA’S MOUTH, AND HE’S FORCING HIM TO CHEW! OH AND A KNEE STRIKE TO THE JAW FOR GOOD MEASURE!
Rich Russillo: THE BARBED WIRE JUST CAME OUT OF THE ALIEN’S MOUTH…THERE’S BLOOD EVERYWHERE, OH MY GOD! NOW HE’S GOT THE POTATO PEELER NEAR THE ALIEN’S BACK…OH MY GOD HE’S DRIVING IT INTO THEIR SKIN LIKE A STAKE!
James Peters: THIS IS DISGUSTING, AND I’VE SEEN SOME THINGS ALRIGHT. THE MATCH IS OVER, YOU’VE WON, STOP THIS!
(Charlie Marr would continue to scrape the tip of the potato peeler across the back of Cuda, rather inhumanely.)
James Peters: OH FINALLY, HE’S STOPPED. THIS IS…THIS IS HARD TO WATCH, MORE SO THAN EARLIER- WHY IS HE LEAVING THE RING THAT WAY??? NO, NO STOP! HE’S GOING BACK UNDER THE RING FOR MORE…OH MY GOD HE HAS A CROWBAR. WHAT IS HE GONNA DO WITH THAT, I DON’T SEE ANY LOCKED DOORS AROUND.
Rich Russillo: YOU CAN ONLY ASSUME ONE THING, AND THAT HE’S GOING TO USE IT ON CUDA. OH MY GOD…HE’S GETTING BACK IN THE RING, AND MOVING CLOSER TOWARDS CUDA.
James Peters: He has a hold of his…Hand? What th- OH MY GOD! HE JUST USED THE CROWBAR TO WRENCH A FINGER BACKWARDS, AND I THINK IT’S BROKEN! OH AND TO MAKE THINGS WORSE HE SWINGS THE CROWBAR STRAIGHT INTO HIS HAND!
Persephone: This puts a smile on my face.
James Peters: :whoa:
Rich Russillo: CUDA IS SCREAMING IN AGONY! YOU CAN FEEL THE PAIN HE’S IN JUST BY HIS VOICE ALONE!
(Charlie puts the crowbar down, but at the same time picks the barbed wire golf club back up.)
James Peters: THIS IS TOO FAR! OH THIS IS HARD TO COMMENTATE FOR. HE’S PLACING THE GOLF CLUB ON CUDA’S BACK AND STEPPING ON IT TO SEND THE BARBED WIRE INTO HIS BACK AS IF HE WAS A FENCE! STOP SELLING HARDWARE TO WRESTLERS!
Rich Russillo: Charlie looks like he’s done. He’s leaving Cuda in the middle of the ring, and exiting onto the apron. If he gets out another weapon I’ll start fearing for my OWN safety. Oh, thank god. He’s walking up the ramp now, hopefully to exit the building. Someone get medical attention, or whatever Aliens need, for Cuda. Please!
Persephone: Wouldn’t it be hilarious if he did this to Malcolm Jones??? LULZ!
(Voltage fades away with the final shot being Charlie walking away from the chaos and havoc he had created in the ring.)
(Voltage reopens to show Showdown Cash in the Vault competitor, Dray Fontana, sitting down.)
Narrator: State your name.
Dray Fontana: My name is Prince Dray Fontana, the fastest rising star since Noah Reigner and the man who’s gonna follow in his footsteps and win the Cash in the Vault briefcase then become world champion..
Dray Fontana: Why are you going to win Cash in the Vault?
(Dray reacts as if that is the dumbest question he’s ever heard.)
Dray Fontana: Why? Why am I going to win? Because it’s my destiny. I’m going to win because I’m the premier athlete in this match, I’m the most determined and most naturally talented wrestler in the match too. I’ve got all the components in the world to ascend to the top of the spectrum and I’m going to put them all together then win the Cash in the Vault match. This is inevitable, it’s written in the stars
Narrator: Who’s your biggest competition in the match? Why?
Dray Fontana: Jack Ripley, without a doubt. If there’s anyone standing in my way, it’s him. I’ve scouted the rest of the field already, he’s the one that immediately catches my eye. He’s quick, nimble, experienced, an excellent technical wrestler and he’s got heart. He’s one of those guys who’s got all the components to be one of the best and he’s putting them all together and doing big things – he’s my biggest competition. Let it be known though, there’s no worry or doubt in the Prince. Jack being my biggest competitor doesn’t hurt me one bit, it hurts him though. It puts a massive target on his back and I don’t miss my shots, I’ll make this match hell for him.
Narrator: What lengths are you willing to go to in order to win this match and get your hands on that briefcase?
(A look of pure determination crosses the face of one of the underdogs in the match.)
Dray Fontana: I’ll do whatever it takes. The entirety of my focus is on leaving Pain for Pride with the briefacse in my hands – nothing is going to stop me from doing that. No obstacle, no wrestler. If I need to dive off a ladder, I’ll do it. If I need to break a bone, I’ll do that too. The fact of the matter is that no matter who or what’s put in front of me, I will prevail. I’ll do ANYTHING for this
Narrator: How do you plan on changing EAW as we know should you become world champion?
Dray Fontana: I’ve slowly and gradually been transforming Elite Answers Wrestling into my kingdom. When I win the CITV briefcase and then become world champion, the prophecy is finally fulfilled. The second I lay my hands on a world championship around here, this place becomes my kingdom. It turns into the Elysian Fields that I envisioned it to become. Just thinking about it is mouthwatering. The plans there, the execution is all that’s left. I’ll royally humble all of these elitists and I promise I’ll render all of them into nothing more than just pawns in my game of Chess. You’ll love it – trust me, you will
Narrator: Any words for your fellow Cash in the Vault competitors?
Dray Fontana: :mjgrin: With all due respect, you’re just a statistic. In a couple years when we all reminisce about the 2020 Cash in the Vault match, there will be one name and one name only that immediately pops into our heads. It won’t be SOSA Henderson, wont be Darcy May Morgan, nor will it be Ms Extreme or Jack Ripley or Myles or Justin Windgate and it sure as hell won’t be MITSUBACHI. That one name that pops up into every single person’s head when they come back and thing about this very Cash in the Vault match we’re all about to participate in will be Dray Fontana. Oh and I’ll reminisce too, with my left hand on a bottle of Chardonnay, my right hand holding my crown and the EAW Answers World Championship resting on my lap. Watch. The. Throne…
(Dray stares into the camera and Voltage fades to commercial break.)
(Commercial break.)
(Voltage returns to yet another Cash in the Vault segment.)
Narrator: State your name.
Ms. Extreme: Ms. Extreme. Godmille. Jesusmille. Camille Christ. The GOAT Ava. Your lord and savior. The bane of Terry Chambers’ existence. Jamie O’Hara’s favorite Ava sister. But, people call me Camille. I gotta be honest – I’m the only one that calls myself by those nicknames, but the one nickname I’m hoping catches on is “Ms. Cash in the Vault.”
(The arrogance just drips from Ms. Extreme’s voice.)
Narrator: Why are you going to win Cash in the Vault?
Ms. Extreme: Wouldn’t it be simple to say because I am? Well, Cameron’s tried to win it at Pain for Pride 7. Consuela tried to win it at Pain for Pride Festival. One of the reasons would be because it’s way fucking overdue for an Ava to win Cash in the Vault. Another reason would be because I have been waiting for an opportunity like this. People have been waiting to see the moment where Ms. Extreme pulls the trigger on her career and becomes a World Champion. To be honest, I have been waiting for a moment like this. It sucked that it didn’t happen at Odyssey, but it’s motivated me to assure everyone that they won’t be seeing me come short of the prize again. I want to surpass Cameron. I want to prove that I am the GOAT Ava sister and if I don’t win Cash in the Vault, that would be a travesty because I can assure you that a good portion of the competitors in this match won’t even be in this company next season. Do you want to know who will be? Me.
Narrator: Who’s your biggest competition in the match? Why?
(Ms. Extreme scoffs.)
Ms. Extreme: If you were asking this question to anyone else, I SHOULD be the biggest competition in the match. I should be the woman that everyone’s coming at when it comes to making a statement. There’s going to be people who can’t stop name dropping me in their videos. As for me, who do I think is the biggest competition in the match? Even though she’s not going to say me, it’s gonna be Darcy May Morgan. I am humble enough to admit that. Darcy is ruthless and a hard worker. I gotta take this bitch down. If there is anyone that is able to match up to my intensity, it has to be here. It intrigues me because that means I need to be on a whole other level at Pain for Pride.
Narrator: What lengths are you willing to go to in order to win this match and get your hands on that briefcase?
Ms. Extreme: Extreme lengths. I’m an opportunist and I will take advantage of ANY opportunity I have. I don’t care if we were allies in the match. I don’t care if I hate your guts. I will take any of these motherfuckers down if it means that I get to call myself Ms. Cash in the Vault. It helps that I hate everyone. It benefits me that I don’t give a fuck about anyone in this match up. When it comes to me and my goals, no one is going to be standing in the way of them. I envision myself climbing up that ladder and retrieving that briefcase and raising it above my head.
Narrator: How do you plan on changing EAW as we know should you become world champion?
Ms. Extreme: On Voltage last week, I did imply that I would use Cash in the Vault to become Universal Women’s Champion. The primary goal of everyone in Season 14 is to make sure that the Universal Women’s Championship is seen as the most important championship in the company. I am the star that is going to catapult that title to the next level. I’ve always been destined for great things. I’ve had people call me a future World Champion. I always saw myself as someone who will change this company from what people expect from a women’s wrestler, from an Ava sister and I plan to turn all of that around and give people a new expectation of what it means to be a World Champion in this company.
Narrator: Any words for your fellow Cash in the Vault competitors?
(Ms. Extreme smirks and brushes her bright red locks off her shoulders.)
Ms. Extreme: Camille Ava is going to kill you. She is going to kill every single one of you. She is going to kill every single one of you and win. I’ll make sure to thank all of you during my journey to the top.
(On that note, Voltage fades back to the ringside area.)
(Bella Braxton is standing in the center of the ring, ready to announce the next match.)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen… The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!
Bella Braxton: Introducing first….
(‘Gimme the Prize’ by Queen hits, and the crowd begins to boo as Mark Macias makes his way out to the stage with a confident smirk on his face. He doesn’t pay attention to the crowd’s boos, and instead slowly walks down the ramp, making sure to soak up all the time he can before he actually has to start his match against Rex McAllister.)
Bella Braxton: Making his way to the ring…. From Hollywood, California… Weighing in at 221 pounds…. MAAAAAAARRRKKKK MMAAAAAACCCIIIIAAAAAS!!!!!
James Peters: This is a match Mark Macias needs to win. He’s going against one of the most accomplished Elitists of the past few years! Not to mention, at Pain for Pride these two will be facing off as well, but in an even bigger match for the Unified Tag Team Championships along with the Covenant! This is a huge match for Mark, just imagine how big it’d be if he could win tonight!
Rich Russillo: That’s true James. This could be the biggest opportunity Mark could ever get to prove himself to be honest. Mark Macias has shown some promise in the past few months, do you think he can go the distance and beat Rex?
Persephone: Of course not! Since losing the PURE title Mark Macias has done nothing, and I don’t think he’s gonna start doing anything now against MY SEXY REXY.
James Peters: Um.. I think you’re talking about Mark Michaels, who’s been gone since Road to Redemption.
Persephone: Oh. Whatever.
(‘Alive’ by P.O.D hits, and all 50 or so fans begin cheering as loudly as they possibly can as Rex McAllister makes his way to the stage. Rex doesn’t stop at the stage, and immediately walks down the ramp, focused on Mark Macias. It’s clear that not everything is okay with Rex seeing everything going on, but he still has it in him to focus on his upcoming match.)
Bella Braxton: And his opponent…. From Sea Isle New Jersey…. Weighing in at 238 pounds… HE IS ONE HALF OF THE UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS, REEEEXXXX MCCAALLLLIISSTTEERRRR!!!!!!
James Peters: A loss on Rex’s record tonight might not be the best for him now that I think about it. This whole Raven and Minerva thing clearly has left an effect on Rex, he’s definitely going to give this match everything he’s got.
Rich Russillo: To be fair, he gives every match his best regardless. If you ask me, I see him being less focused than usual. Rex isn’t the way he normally is clearly, and Mark has a chance to use that to his advantage. Simple.
Persephone: Excuse me??? There’s no way any of that is happening! Rex McAllister is winning this match. Mark my words.
Rich Russillo: If you say so, Queen.
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
James Peters: And this match is now underway! One half of the Unified Tag Team Champions Rex McAllister versus Mark Macias, one of the men who will be competing for the titles at Pain for Pride! Rex and Mark now going to lock up now, and the two men struggle for position, but it’s Rex that manages to power Mark into the corner! The referee making it up to the count of four, but Rex lets go before it reaches five- JUST FOR MARK TO HIT REX WITH A FOREARM! Rex stumbled back a bit- JUST TO CHARGE BACK AT MARK- BUT MARK ROLLS OUT OF THE RING!
Rich Russillo: Mark Macias essentially with a hit and run, and now it looks like he’s regrouping as he walks around the ring, before finally walking up the steel steps! Mark slowly entering the ring, AND REX TRIES GOING AFTER MARK, BUT THE REFEREE PULLS REX AWAY AS MARK MAKES SURE TO STAY NEAR THE ROPES! Mark now- WITH A POKE TO THE EYE! THE REFEREE DIDN’T SEE IT AS HE WAS MAKING SURE REX DIDN’T GO AFTER MARK, AND MARK TOOK ADVANTAGE WITH THAT POKE TO THE EYE! MARK NOW ROLLING REX UP!
ONE-
Persephone: Sexy Rexy kicked out ! What an idiot Mark Macias is, imagine thinking that was gonna be enough to beat Rex. Mark just went for a roundhouse kick, but like the wrestling genius he is, Rex was able to duck it! Rex with a step up enzuigiri! Mark Macias stumbled into the corner, and now Rex charges in, BEFORE DRIVING HIS SHOULDER INTO MARK’S STOMACH! Rex now with an irish whip to the opposite corner before charging in, AND HE HITS A CLOTHESLINE! Rex now running the ropes as Mark stumbles out of the corner, AND HE HITS A JUMPING CLOTHESLINE!
James Peters: Impressive combination by Rex McAllister! Mark attempting to grab onto the ropes, but Rex doesn’t allow him to! Instead he pulls Mark to his feet, AND CONNECTS WITH A BELLY TO BACK SUPLEX! Mark rolling back out of the ring after that one, and Rex now looks like he has an idea in mind as Mark uses the apron to get back to his feet! Rex McAllister running the ropes, AND HE TAKES MARK OUT WITH A DROP- NO! MARK MANAGED TO GET OUT OF THE WAY, AND THERE’S A BOOT TO REX!
Rich Russillo: Now THAT was impressive! Mark was just hit with that belly to back suplex, but just like that he found a way to get back into this one! Mark now grabbing Rex, AND HE SENDS HIM INTO THE RING POST! I’m sure Mark is gonna want to do whatever he can tonight, both to show Rex what he’s capable of ahead of Pain for Pride, and try to do as much lasting damage as he can to potentially limit Fire and Ice heading into the Unified Tag Team Championship match! Rex doing his best to get to his feet- WAIT, LOOK OUT REX!
Persephone: NO, NOT THE FACE! MARK JUST CRUSHED REX’S HEAD IN BETWEEN HIS BOOT AND THE RING POST! I don’t get it, how is this not illegal? He’s using foreign objects to assist him, isn’t he!?
James Peters: Well, the ring post is a part of the ring, so it shouldn’t be il-
Persephone: SHUT UP! Mark Macias is rolling Rex back into the ring and now he’s going for a cover! You better kick out Rex!
ONE! TW-
Persephone: He kicked out! Rex McAllister really is the best! Some loser like Mark Macias couldn’t beat him.
James Peters: Mark now putting Rex in a grounded rear chinlock, trying to wear Rex out as much as he can. It’s a smart strategy, but Mark must not know Rex if he thinks this would work on him. WAIT, MARK ATTACKING REX’S FACE WHILE IN THE CHINLOCK! A CLUBBING BLOW TO THE FACE, AND HE DOESN’T STOP THERE! IT LOOKS LIKE MARK WASN’T JUST TRYING TO WEAR HIM OUT, INSTEAD HE’S DOING AS MUCH DAMAGE AS HE POSSIBLY CAN! MARK REPEATEDLY HITTING REX IN THE FACE, BEFORE FINALLY LETTING GO AND TOSSING REX TO THE SIDE!
Rich Russillo: Rex doing his best to try and get to his feet after Mark has been on the offense for a while, BUT MARK NOW CHARGES IN WITH A RUNNING KNEE- NO! REX MOVES OUT OF THE WAY AND IMMEDIATELY HITS A SNAP GERMAN SUPLEX! REX PULLING MARK TO HIS FEET, AND HE HITS A SECOND GERMAN SUPLEX! MARK IS ABLE TO GET TO HIS FEET, BUT AFTER THOSE GERMAN SUPLEXES HE CAN’T HELP BUT STUMBLE INTO THE ROPES, AND NOW REX MCALLISTER CHARGES IN- JUST FOR MARK TO LIFT REX OVER HIM AND OVER THE TOP ROPE!
Persephone: REXY LANDED ON THE APRON! MARK WENT FOR A FOREARM, BUT REXY WAS ABLE TO BLOCK IT BEFORE HITTING ONE OF HIS OWN! So smart . SLINGSHOT SPEAR BY REX! REXY NOW GOING FOR THE COVER, AND I BET THAT’S IT! MARK MACIAS SUCKS HE’LL NEVER KICK OUT!
ONE! TWO!!-
Persephone: Oh. Well he did kick out, but I’m not taking back what I said. The last Mark we had was better and he sucked too. Anyways Mark Macias is trying to crawl to the ropes, BUT REXY GRABS HIS LEGS AND TURNS HIM OVER FOR A BOSTON CRAB!
James Peters: THE BOSTON CRAB IS LOCKED IN, AND MARK IS IN A BIT OF TROUBLE RIGHT NOW! MARK NEEDS TO FIND A WAY OUT OF THIS BOSTON CRAB AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! MARK TRYING TO PULL HIMSELF TOWARDS THE ROPES, BUT IT’S GONNA BE DIFFICULT TO MAKE IT THERE WITH REX ON HIS BACK! I DON’T KNOW IF HE CAN DO IT, CAN MARK ENDURE ALL THIS PAIN TO REACH THE ROPES!? MARK IS SLOWLY PULLING HIMSELF THERE, BUT NOW REX PULLS BACK ON THE SUBMISSION EVEN HARDER THAN BEFORE! Mark is in a really tough situation, he might have to tap out!
Rich Russillo: Mark is getting closer and closer, BUT NOW REX LETS GO OF THE SUBMISSION! REX NOW DEADLIFTING MARK OFF OF THE GROUND, AND CONNECTING WITH ANOTHER GERMAN SUPLEX! REX NOW GOING TO LOCK IN THAT BOSTON CRAB ONCE MORE, BUT MARK THIS TIME WAS ABLE TO SCOUT IT, AND IMMEDIATELY ROLLED ONTO HIS BACK BEFORE FREEING BOTH LEGS, AND KICKING REX AWAY FROM HIM! Mark using the ropes to pull himself up, AND NOW REX CHARGES BACK IN- BUT MARK HITS A ROPE ASSISTED DROPKICK! Rex rolls back up to both knees, BUT MARK HITS REX WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK! ANOTHER COVER BY MARK!
ONE! TWO!!-
Persephone: YES!! REX KICKED OUT AGAIN!!!! HAHA, MARK IS MAD! He just slammed his hands onto the mat, he’s having a temper tantrum like a baby! Wait, no! Mark is grabbing Rex by his hair, and pulling him to his feet. Mark just hit Rex with a snapmare, and now he’s running the ropes! WAIT, MARK WENT FOR THAT AWFUL LOOKING BIG BOOT, BUT REX DUCKED UNDER IT! MARK TURNING AROUND, AND REX JUST HIT HIM WITH A BICYCLE KICK! Mark just fell back onto one knee, let’s go Rexy!
James Peters: Rex charging in- BUT MARK SUCCESSFULLY CONNECTS WITH A LEG SWEEP! That came out of nowhere! Rex getting back up to both knees, AND NOW THERE’S A KICK TO REX’S CHEST! MARK WITH ANOTHER! AND ANOTHER! THE MARK KICKS CONNECTING BY MARK, AND THE SMALL AMOUNT OF FANS IN ATTENDANCE MAY NOT LIKE MARK MACIAS, BUT THEY CAN’T HELP BUT CHANT “MARK” ALONG WITH EACH KICK! ANOTHER KICK! AND ANOTHER KICK! AND ANOTHER ONE! MARK NOW SETTING UP FOR THE FINAL KICK, AND THERE IT I- NO! REX DUCKED THE FINAL KICK BEFORE HOPPING BACK UP TO HIS FEET AND CONNECTING WITH AN ARM DRAG!
Rich Russillo: Mark couldn’t connect with that final kick, and that might just cost him right now! Mark getting back up, JUST FOR REX TO HIT HIM WITH AN OVERHEAD BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX! REX NOW PULLING MARK UP, AND HE HITS A SECOND OVERHEAD BELLY TO BELLY! MARK NOW USING THE TURNBUCKLES TO GET BACK TO HIS FEET, BUT I DON’T THINK THAT’S WHERE HE WANTS TO BE! REX RUNNING IN- BUT THIS TIME MARK MOVES OUT OF THE WAY, AND REX RUNS RIGHT INTO THE RINGPOST, SHOULDER FIRST!
Persephone: Oh no.. Rex is pulling himself out from in between the turnbuckles and turning around, LOOK OUT REX! NO! THE AWFUL CLOTHESLINE CONNECTED! NO NO NO!
James Peters: It’s called the Awesome clothesli-
Persephone: SHUT THE HELL UP! REX MIGHT ACTUALLY BE IN A BIT OF TROUBLE AND I DON’T LIKE IT! I DON’T LIKE IT AT ALL! MARK IS RUNNING THE ROPES WHILE REX IS BEGINNING TO GET BACK UP! NO NO NO!! KNEE TO THE HEAD BY MARK! MARK NOW GOING FOR THE NECKBREAKER TO COMPLETE THE “END SCENE”- BUT HE DOESN’T GET IT! YES! REX MANAGED TO PUSH MARK AWAY!
James Peters: MARK TURNING BACK TOWARDS REX- BUT HE TURNS RIGHT INTO A PELE KICK! Rex getting back up, AND HE HITS MARK WITH A STANDING MOONSAULT! YOU DON’T SEE THAT VERY OFTEN FROM REX, AND NOW THERE’S THE COVER!
ONE! TWO!! TH-
James Peters: MARK MANAGES TO GET THE SHOULDER UP- BUT NOW REX LOCKS IN AN ARMBAR ON DOUBLE M! MARK MACIAS IS IN TROUBLE NOW, REX HAS THE ARMBAR LOCKED IN, BUT MARK CAN MAKE IT TO THE ROPES, HE ISN’T SUPER FAR AWAY! HE JUST NEEDS TO ENDURE THE PAIN FOR A LITTLE WHILE LONGER!
Rich Russillo: Mark pulling himself closer and closer, AND HE MAKES IT TO THE ROPES, BUT HE DOESN’T STOP THERE! MARK USING THE ROPES TO BOUNCE HIMSELF UP TO HIS FEET, AND IN TURN PIN REX’S SHOULDER’S DOWN! MARK IS GONNA TRY AND STEAL IT!
ONE! T-
Rich Russillo: REX QUICKLY RELEASES ONE ARM TO GET THE SHOULDER UP- BUT THAT’S ENOUGH FOR MARK TO STOMP ONTO REX’S FACE, CAUSING HIM TO FULLY LET GO! Mark Macias now, WITH THE RUNNING KNEE JUST AS REX TURNED OVER ONTO ALL FOURS! MARK NOW WITH THE NECKBREAKER! THE END SCENE CONNECTS, AND NOW MARK GOES FOR THE COVER!
ONE! TWO!! THREE-
Persephone: REXY KICKED OUT AGAIN!!!! I told you guys, Rex would never lose to someone like Mark Macias! Now look at that! Mark is perplexed! Bamboozled! He actually thought he was going to beat Rex McAllister, that’s hilarious! WAIT NO! STOP! MARK IS STOMPING ALL OVER REX! STOP STOP STOP! REX IS TRYING TO COVER UP BUT MARK WON’T STOP! I HATE THIS! MARK GRABBING REX NOW, NO NO NO PLEASE! NO! MARK JUST THREW REX INTO THE TURNBUCKLES! WHY ISN’T HE STOPPING!? MARK RUNNING TOWARDS REX, AND BE GOES FOR ANOTHER RUNNING KNEE-
James Peters: BUT IT DOESN’T CONNECT THIS TIME! REX MANAGED TO ROLL OUT OF THE WAY! REX STUMBLING BACK UP TO HIS FEET, AND MARK CHARGES BACK AFTER HIM JUST TO RECEIVE A BOOT TO THE FACE! Mark is clearly frustrated though, AND HE CHARGES BACK AFTER REX- JUST TO BE CAUGHT WITH A SPINEBUSTER! Rex not going for the cover, and it makes sense why, the man was just on the receiving end of a big assault from Mark Macias after the End Scene failed to get the job done!
Rich Russillo: Rex getting back to his feet finally, AND NOW HE GRABS MARK AND PUTS HIM IN A FIGURE FOUR LEGLOCK!! THE FIGURE FOUR IS LOCKED IN, AND THAT’S NOT GOOD FOR MARK! MARK NEEDS TO FIND A WAY OUT OF THIS, OR ELSE HE’LL HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE BUT TO TAP OUT! MARK IS PULLING HIMSELF TOWARDS THE ROPES THOUGH, AND I THINK HE MIGHT HAVE A CHANCE HERE! WE ALL KNOW JUST HOW AMAZING REX IS WITH HIS TECHNICAL WRESTLING ABILITY, AND HE’S BEEN ALL OVER MARK WITH THESE SUBMISSIONS TONIGHT BUT THE LAST TWO TIMES MARK DID FIND A WAY OUT OF IT!
Persephone: Rexy isn’t letting go of the figure four, I think this is it! Wait, NO! MARK MADE IT TO THE ROPES, AND THE COWARD IS PULLING HIMSELF OUT OF THE RING! I hate this guy so much. I’m just glad this is still going because I want to see Rex for as long as possible. Anyways, Mark is getting back up, AND IT LOOKS LIKE SEXY REXY IS GOING FOR A SECOND TRY! PLEASE DON’T MOVE MARK! YES!! REX MANAGES TO HIT THE DROPKICK THROUGH THE ROPES! REX ROLLING MARK BACK INTO THE RING NOW, AND HE RUNS THE ROPES BEFORE HITTING A CLOTHESLI-
James Peters: MARK JUST HOOKED REX’S ARM BEFORE SLIPPING BEHIND REX AND HOOKING THE OTHER ARM! THE CREDITS ROLL CONNECTS!!! MARK JUST HIT REX WITH THE CREDITS ROLL, AND NOW HE COVERS REX- WAIT! MARK PUTTING HIS FEET ONTO THE ROPES TO MAKE IT EVEN HARDER FOR REX TO KICK OUT, AND I DON’T THINK THE REFEREE NOTICES AS HE’S TOO FIXATED ON THE COUNT! MARK IS GONNA STEAL THIS MATCH, HE’S GOING TO PIN THE GRAND RAMPAGE WINNER!!
ONE! TWO!! THREE!!!
James Peters: WHAT!? HOW!? REX MCALLISTER JUST MANAGED TO GET THE SHOULDER UP!
Rich Russillo: That should’ve been it! That absolutely should’ve been the end of the match, what is Rex McAllister made of!? Mark is pleading with the referee, but the referee’s decision is final! Rex managed to get the shoulder up just before three! I don’t understand it, how did he do it!?
Persephone: BECAUSE REX IS THE BEST !!!!!!! I’VE BEEN TELLING YOU GUYS SINCE THE BEGINNING! REX MCALLISTER CAN’T BE BEAT, ESPECIALLY NOT BY THIS GUY! Well Rexy doesn’t look too good right now, BUT THAT’S BESIDES THE POINT! REX MCALLISTER IS AN UNSTOPPABLE KING!
James Peters: Mark Macias has been doing a good job throughout this match, he’s been standing against Rex McAllister and doing just fine! Rex is a former World Champion!
Persephone: I thought I told you to shut up! Mark Macias sucks and that’s all there is to it! Rex McAllister isn’t going to lose to him!
James Peters: Alright Persephone. Anyways, Mark Macias now is pulling Rex to his feet, AND HE JUST PUT REX IN A SLEEPERHOLD! I’M SURE MARK REALIZED THAT REX DIDN’T HAVE MUCH LEFT IN HIM, AND NOW HE’S LOOKING TO PUT REX TO SLEEP! REX IS TRYING TO FIGHT OUT OF IT, BUT HE’S FIGHTING LESS AND LESS AS TIME GOES ON! MARK MACIAS IS GOING TO PUT REX TO SLEEP AT THIS POINT- WAIT! REX BACK PEDALS INTO THE ROPES- JUST FOR MARK TO LET GO OF THE SUBMISSION AND PUSH HIM THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE! WHAT A MOVE BY MACIAS!
Rich Russillo: Rex is still on the apron, but not for long! Mark pulling Rex up- JUST FOR REX TO HIT A ROPE ASSISTED ENZUIGIRI! REX NOW GOING FOR A SLINGSHOT SPEAR- BUT MARK CAUGHT REX, AND INSTEAD JUST DROPPED HIM WITH A ROPE HANGING DDT!! WHAT A COUNTER BY MARK MACIAS! MARK IS HAVING THE PERFORMANCE OF A LIFETIME RIGHT NOW! Mark has had to use some cheap tactics throughout this match, but otherwise he’s done an excellent job against Rex McAllister! If he and Limmy perform like this at Pain for Pride, who knows? They may actually have a shot at becoming Tag Champs!
Persephone: HA! IMAGINE!! REX LOSING HIS CHAMPIONSHIPS TO HIM AND THE BALD KID!? Good joke Rich.
Rich Russillo: Thanks :mjgrin:. If you want, after the show I coul-
Persephone: Anyways Rex needs to get back into this. I don’t like Mark getting all this offense. Mark is dragging Rex to the top rope and this sucks. This really sucks. Mark is going out onto the apron and now climbing up to the top rope as well, this isn’t good, COME ON REX! PLEASE GET OUT OF THIS! PLEASE DON’T LET MARK BEAT YOU!
James Peters: MARK IS TRYING TO SET UP FOR THE AFTER CREDITS, BUT REX IS ABLE TO ELBOW MARK IN THE FACE BEFORE TURNING HIMSELF AROUND! REX NOW SETTING UP FOR A SUPERPLEX, BUT MARK WITH A PUNCH TO THE MIDSECTION! AND ANOTHER PUNCH! MARK WITH A THIRD PUNCH TO THE MIDSECTION BEFORE FREEING HIS ARM, AND NOW THERE’S AN ELBOW, SENDING REX OFF OF THE TOP ROPE! MARK NOW, WITH A DIVING DOUBLE AXE HANDLE! THE DOUBLE AXE HANDLE CONNECTS, AND NOW MARK NEEDS TO FINISH THE JOB, HE HAS TO PUT REX AWAY! Mark has done a good job, but it won’t really matter if he can’t get the job done!
Rich Russillo: Mark pulling Rex back to his feet, and now he’s hooking his arms from behind once again in that full nelson hold, BUT REX IS DOING WHATEVER HE CAN TO POWER OUT OF IT! MARK HAS THE FULL NELSON IN, HE’S SO CLOSE TO CONNECTING WITH THE CREDITS ROLL BUT REX IS SOMEHOW FIGHTING OUT OF IT! REX FREES HIS ARMS! REX WITH A BACK ELBOW TO MARK MACIAS, AND NOW THERE’S A FOREARM! AND ANOTHER FOREARM! AND ANOTHER! REX NOW WITH AN IRISH WHIP-
Persephone: NO! MARK TURNED IT AROUND! MARK SENT REX INTO THE ROPES! REX BOUNCING OFF OF THEM- WAIT, YES! YES YES YES! REX WITH THE REX EFFECT!!! THE REX EFFECT CONNECTS AND THAT IDIOT MARK MACIAS IS DOWN AND OUT! REX TURNING MARK OVER BEFORE GOING FOR THE PIN, AND THAT’S IT! I KNOW THAT’S IT!
ONE! TWO!! THREE!!!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Bella Braxton: Here is your winner…. REX MCALLISTER!!!!!!
James Peters: THAT’S IT! REX MCALLISTER WINS! That was a great performance by Mark Macias, but it wasn’t enough! Rex McAllister has accomplished all he has for a reason. Nonetheless, I’m sure Mark Macias as well as Limmy Monaghan will do just fine at Pain for Pri-
Rich Russillo: SPEAKING OF LIMMY!!! LIMMY MONAGHAN JUST ATTACKED REX MCALLISTER FROM BEHIND!!! LIMMY HAS REX TRAPPED IN THE CORNER, AND HE’S JUST UNLOADING AS MARK IS SLOWLY GETTING BACK TO HIS SENSES! MARK IS GETTING BACK UP, AND NOW HE JOINS LIMMY IN TAKING OUT REX! BOTH MEN HAVE REX TRAPPED IN THE CORNER, AND THEY’RE JUST TAKING TURNS HITTING HIM WITH HUGE PUNCHES TO THE MIDSECTION!
Persephone: WAIT, LOOK! REX IS STARTING TO FIGHT BACK! REX WITH A FOREARM TO LIMMY! NOW A FOREARM TO REX! NOW A FOREARM TO LIMMY! NOW TO REX! REX IS SO GOOD HE’S TAKING OUT TWO MEN AT ONCE-
(‘Beat The Devil’s Tattoo’ by Black Rebel Motorcycle Club suddenly hits, and both Colby Sol and Jesse Barlow both run into the ring as the crowd begins booing.)
James Peters: JESSE BARLOW JUST TOOK REX OUT FROM BEHIND! COLBY SOL NOW STOMPING REX OUT, AND LOOK! ALL THREE OTHER MEN ARE JOINING IN! THIS HAS BECOME ONE BIG BEATDOWN ON REX MCALLISTER! ALL FOUR MEN ARE STOMPING AWAY AT REX, DOING WHATEVER WE CAN TO MAKE SURE HE’S OUT OF THE EQUATION BY PAIN FOR PRIDE! WAIT A SECOND!! LOOK!
Rich Russillo: MARK JUST PUSHED COLBY TO THE SIDE SO HE CAN ATTACK REX HIMSELF, AND NOW COLBY JUST SHOVED MARK IN RETALIATION! MARK WITH A FOREARM! NOW COLBY WITH ONE! BOTH MEN NOW BEGINNING TO FIGHT EACH OTHER, AND NOW LIMMY GOES AFTER COLBY- JUST FOR JESSE TO ATTACK LIMMY!
James Peters: NOW THIS IS AN ALL OUT BRAWL!! IT LOOKS LIKE ALL BETS ARE OFF NOW AS THE COVENANT IS FIGHTING THE GRAND ATHLETES NOW! THE FOUR CHALLENGERS FOR THE UNIFIED TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS ARE JUST FIGHTING EACH OTHER RIGHT NOW- HEY WAIT A SECOND! LOOK!!
Persephone: YES!!! REXY ROLLS OUT OF THE RING! I DON’T WANT TO SEE REX GET HURT ANYMORE! GREAT JOB REX! LET ALL THESE STUPID HOOLIGANS FIGHT EACH OTHER! GREAT JOB REXY! YOU’RE THE BEST!
(Rex McAllister stumbles up the ramp, before looking back and just watching the carnage going down in the ring. The Covenant and the Grand Athletes are fighting each other, and Rex simply watches the brawl continue. The four men continue fighting with Rex at the top of the ramp as Voltage fades out to a commercial break.)
(Commercial break.)
(Voltage returns and the final competitor for the Cash in the Vault match is seen and perhaps this man is the sentimental favorite.)
Narrator: State your name.
Elitist: Justin Windgate.
(No fancy nicknames or hype for Justin. He’s all business because he knows what winning something like Cash in the Vault could do for him.)
Narrator: Why are you going to win Cash in the Vault.
Justin Windgate: It’s been ten years since I last competed at a Pain for Pride. That alone should tell you how focused I am on making sure that my Pain for Pride return is something special and one to remember. We have competitors in this match who have never stepped onto a stage this big and others who wish to improve from last year’s efforts regardless of if they won or not, but at the end of the day, I am the one that has constantly needed to prove that I can hang with this new generation of Elitists and that I won’t leave this company again. The exclamation on top for me would be finishing an already successful return season with the Cash in the Vault briefcase that grants me the power to cash in on any world championship that I want. Nobody could ever doubt me or question my ability to compete at the highest level again if I have that briefcase holding all of the power in my possession. I need this win.
Narrator: Who’s your biggest competition in the match? Why?
Justin Windgate: I could just say nobody because my mindset right now is that I need to beat whoever stands in my way of acquiring the briefcase. It doesn’t matter who it is.. But if you really want an answer, the person I would assume has the best chance of slowing me down would be Darcy May Morgan. Darcy and I have competed with and against each other on four separate occasions so out of all of the other competitors in this match, she knows me the most. She has a pretty good idea on what I bring to the table, so that definitely gives her an advantage over everyone else competing in this match.
Narrator: What lengths are you willing to go to in order to win this match and get your hands on that briefcase?
(Justin gives the camera a cheeky little grin.)
Justin Windgate: Did you see what happened a couple of weeks ago to SOSA Henderson? I beat him in the center of the ring with a ladder and leaped off of the top of it with a Frog Splash that took him out. You’ve seen me leap off of the top of the Reckless Wiring stage with my X-Factor onto both Gwyn Gilfried and Angel De Plata jr. You’ve even seen me outlast 24 Elitists in the Extreme Enigma Battle Royal at Road to Redemption. It’s safe to say that I am willing to put my entire body on the line if that is what is necessary to walk out with the Cash in the Vault Briefcase. I don’t care what I have to do.. Just know that I’ll do it. And I’ll do it big.
Narrator: How do you plan on changing EAW as we know should you become world champion?
Justin Windgate: By winning any world championship here I am giving hope to every screw up and reject from the past, present, and future. I’ve been told numerous times that my weed smoking lifestyle won’t ever amount to anything. I’ve been told that I wouldn’t even last more than two months in this company after returning. I’m not supposed to even be in this match where such a huge opportunity is on the line. By winning the Cash in the Vault then a world a world championship, I am showing everyone that it doesn’t matter what people say or think of you.. You have the power to make anything happen as long as you stay focused on the goal and what you want. I want to bring that hope to everyone..
Narrator: Any words for your fellow Cash in the Vault competitors?
(Justin stands up, lights up, and takes a deep drag of his joint.)
Justin Windgate: Windgate 4:20.. Roll Up.
(He exhales towards the camera, covering it in a haze of smoke, and Voltage fades back to ringside for the main event of the night.)
(“Roll With Me” by Charli XCX plays up as the EAW World Champion Andrea Valentine shows up on stage. She waves at the crowd and then makes her way down the ramp holding the Championship belt on her shoulder)
Bella Braxton: The following contest is set for one fall… Introducing first, from Orlando, Florida weighing in at 110 pounds… She is the EAW World Champion… ANDREA VALENTINEEEEE
Rich Russillo: Andrea Valentine is just two weeks away from the biggest night of her career, a match she’s been dreaming of since her childhood and she can’t afford any missteps here tonight!
Persephone: Oh yeah! Who doesn’t dream about a match against Sexy Rexy! Oh boy, I would let him do to me so many moves… I would let him pin me, I would let him…
Rich Russillo: Uhm…
Rich Russillo: ANYWAYS as I was saying, this is going to be the biggest match of Andrea’s career and tonight she’s facing an up and coming rookie who might just put her to the test here tonight.
(Andrea slides inside the ring as her theme song fades out and ‘Slide’ by Calvin Harris plays up. Maxwell shows up on stage and quickly walks down the ramp, he is almost running down as he is eager to get his hands on Andrea and get the match started. The crowd is booing heavily as they see him walking down)
Bella Braxton: And her opponent… from Las Vegas, Nevada, weighing in at 250 pounds…. MAXWELL!!
Rich Russillo: FOUR. CONSECUTIVE. WINS. His young man has been climbing the hierarchy of Voltage incredibly fast and here he is, about to put his hands on the world champion! Man what an upset it would be if this man was somehow able to pull it off tonight!
James Peters: Hell yeah! Imagine Mr. 24/7 getting a win over Andrea Valentine here tonight! It would be insane. And what a statement to all the other battle royale competitors!
Persephone: Kinda like the statement he TRIED to make earlier in the night, except Cepheus St. Claire showed up and ruined it for him. :mjgrin:
(Maxwell slides inside the ring just as Andrea Valentine is handing the title over to the referee. Maxwell looks down on Andrea with a sick smile on his face and then leans on the corner waiting for the match to officially start.)
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Persephone: Like why is this the main event? It should have been Re-
James Peters: MAXWELL JUST CAUGHT ANDREA WITH A KICK TO THE FACE! THE EAW WORLD CHAMPION IS DOWN AND MAXWELL IS GOING FOR A KICK COVER!!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEE-
Rich Russillo: ANDREA KICKS OUT! I thought for sure Maxwell had it there! He definitely caught Andrea off guard with that kick! Andrea is rolling to the ropes now and she is grabbing her jaw. She looks a bit stunned, kind of like we all are. Maxwell is coming in and looking for the upset, that much is sure. Maxwell goes right for Andrea, who has pulled herself into the corner and he boots her in the face and begins stomping away! The crowd is booing Maxwell’s aggression and he pulls Andrea up by the hair! Maxwell absolutely destroys Andrea’s chest with a knife-edge chop and pops her in the jaw with a solid right hand!
James Peters: Andrea shoves Maxwell back, but Maxwell comes back and catches Andrea in the gut with a shoulder! He follows up with several more shoulder thrusts and caps it off with a nice looking uppercut!
Persephone: Maxwell is grabbing Andrea by her fugly extensions and he whips her across the ring! Andrea slams into the corner and Maxwell sprints towards her! He looks to hit a dropkick, but Andrea moves out of the way and Maxwell hits the mat! Andrea goes to the outside of the ring and she is climbing up the ropes now… she flies! Diving hurricanrana on Maxwell as he is getting up! Maxwell is down on the mat once again and Andrea is stomping away on him now!
Rich Russillo: Maxwell rolls to the ropes, but Andrea grabs him by the ankles and pulls him back to the center of the ring! She stomps on his midsection and drops an elbow down into Maxwell’s chest! Andrea quickly grabs the leg for the cover!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
Persephone: Kickout by Maxwell Yay! We love prolonged matches!
James Peters: Maxwell has shown in recent weeks that it’s hard to keep him down. I know he is motivated to win this match and show the world he is capable of competing on a main event level going forward.
Rich Russillo: Absolutely. Andrea has wrapped Maxwell in a chinlock, but the stronger, more powerful Maxwell has already worked his way back up to his feet. He catches Andrea in the stomach with a few elbow shots of his own and follows it up with a forearm style uppercut that catches her under the jaw! Andrea’s head snaps back and Maxwell quickly grabs her up and puts her down with a pumphandle gutbuster! Andrea has curled into a fetal position and Maxwell is stomping away on her ribcage! Maxwell finally pulls Andrea back up and walks her over to the corner, tying her in the Tree of Woe position! Maxwell continues to work over the stomach and rib area of the EAW Champion, and he leaps in the air! DIVING DOUBLE FOOT STOMP! Maxwell lands on Andrea’s chest and she falls from the Tree of Woe! Maxwell pulls her away from the ropes and goes for a cover!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
Persephone: Kickout.
James Peters: Maxwell jerks Andrea to her feet and goes for a suplex, but Andrea hooks her leg to block! Andrea tries for a suplex of her own, but Maxwell blocks that and is able to force her back into the corner! Maxwell with a stomp to the gut! Andrea takes a seat on the bottom turnbuckle and that allows Maxwell to drive his knee into her face! Andrea clutches her face as Maxwell drags her from the corner, hooks her by the tights, and hoists her in the air! Maxwell is holding Andrea in position and all that blood is rushing to her head right now. He drops Andrea down on her back and brutally kicks her in the head!
Rich Russillo: But like always, Andrea displays the heart of a champion. She’s already forcing herself into a sitting position, despite gripping the back of her head. Maxwell showboats a bit while Andrea raises herself up to her knees. Maxwell strolls back towards the champ and places a kick right between her shoulder blades. Andrea fights through the pain and grips the ropes, looking to pull herself up but Maxwell uncorks a huge kick that catches Andrea in the ribs! Maxwell grabs her by the hair and throws her into the corner, and begins choking her with his foot!
Referee: ONE… TWO… THREE… FOUR…
Persephone: I mean, he didn’t have to break the hold. Maxwell could have just gotten himself disqualified and ended this match so we can all just go home.
James Peters: Maxwell backs off which allows Andrea to stumble out of the corner, but Maxwell goes right back at her! He hooks Andrea and there’s the ‘Ferrari Overdrive’! The sitout XPlex connects on Andrea Valentine and Maxwell quickly goes for the cover!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRR-
Rich Russillo: Andrea gets her shoulder up!
James Peters: Maxwell looks annoyed that Andrea managed to get her shoulder up and I hope he doesn’t start overthinking this match. Maxwell needs to continue doing exactly what he is doing. He’s looked great in this match against Andrea so far. Maxwell pulls Andrea over to the ropes and drapes her across the middle one! He starts choking the champ once again, which prompts the referee to get involved once more. Maxwell once again breaks at the count of four and takes a step back, and Andrea immediately tries to get back to her feet. Maxwell quickly pulls Andrea back to the center of the ring and once again he hooks her around the neck! Maxwell tries to get Andrea up, but she blocks the suplex attempt and is able to catch Maxwell in the ribs with several punches. Maxwell’s grip on Andrea loosens, and that allows her to escape and she runs the ropes! Maxwell whirls around right as Andrea rebounds, looking to hit a lariat, and he ducks!
Rich Russillo: Andrea hits the opposite set of ropes and she leaps in the air! Leaping ‘Atomic Bl-
Persephone: MAXWELL JUST CAUGHT HER! MAXWELL WHIRLS AROUND AND POWERBOMBS ANDREA RIGHT INTO THE CORNER! NICE!
James Peters: Andrea very nearly caught Maxwell with the same move she put Rex down with last week! I’m super impressed that Maxwell had that scouted.
Persephone: I mean, I guess. I would much rather this match end though.
Rich Russillo: Maxwell pulls Andrea away from the corner and hooks her for a suplex! Andrea blocks AND SHE IS ABLE TO GET MAXWELL WITH A SNAP SUPLEX! MAXWELL IS DOWN! ANDREA GETS BACK TO HER FEET AND SHE HITS MAXWELL WITH A STANDING MOONSAULT! ANDREA WITH A COVER NOW!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
James Peters: Maxwell kicks out! Andrea pulls him up and whips him into the corner! She sprints forward and hits a beautiful handspring and transitions that into a back elbow! Maxwell grabs his jaw and Andrea peppers him with forearm shots! SPINNING BACK FIST TO MAXWELL!!! He manages to shove Andrea away from him and staggers out of the corner! Andrea runs after Maxwell, grabs him from behind, and forces him face first into the mat with a bulldog! She quickles scurries to the top ropes and motions for Maxwell to get up! It takes Maxwell a moment to collect his bearings and he finally gets up! Maxwell is on spaghetti legs right now and ANDREA JUMPS OFF THE TOP ROPE! ANDREA LANDS A METEORA AND PINS MAXWELL’S SHOULDERS TO THE MAT!!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRR-
Persephone: :noah: Why did he kick out??? This match sucks :noah:!
Rich Russillo: Andrea quickly mounts Maxwell and begins throwing right hands! She wails away on Maxwell until he is able to throw her off, but Andrea goes right back on the attack! She pulls Maxwell up and throws him into the corner, and she nails him with a running, jumping forearm smash! Andrea with forearm after forearm now! She is fucking Maxwell up in the corner and absolutely unloading everything she has in the tank on him! Rights and left are connecting with Maxwell’s face and head, and Andrea with another spinning back fist! She goes for another forearm, but Maxwell gets his feet up and forces her back! Andrea quickly jumps to her feet and rushes the corner! Running dropkick to Maxwell!!!
James Peters: Maxwell crawls towards the ropes but Andrea cuts him off! She kicks his hand off the ropes, and grabs him by the hair.
Persephone: But Maxwell punches the bitch in the gut! Andrea doubles over and Maxwell is able to pull himself up and he clubs her in the back of the head! Andrea drops to her knees and Maxwell knees her in the face! Andrea falls back and that allows Maxwell to grab Andrea by the legs and lock in a sharpshooter! Andrea is screaming in pain and reaching for the ropes, but she’s not quite there! Tap bitch! Let’s end this match now!!!
Rich Russillo: Andrea is not about to tap! The EAW World Champion knows that she can’t lose this match here tonight! Rex was able to defeat Mark Macias earlier tonight and Andrea wants to cap off her night with a victory as well. She is fighting, trying to drag herself towards the ropes, but Maxwell is maintaining control of the sharpshooter! Andrea bites down on her bottom lip and closes her eyes, doing what she can to endure this painful hold, and finally she raises up on her forearms and tries to crawl towards the ropes once again! Andrea is reaching and she is literally inches away! She summons everything she has left and makes a final lunge for the ropes… AND SHE CATCHES THE BOTTOM! MAXWELL HAS TO BREAK THE HOLD!
James Peters: A frustrated cry escapes from Maxwell’s lips and he lets go of the sharpshooter right before the referee reaches the five count! Maxwell untangles himself from Andrea and the EAW World Champion pulls herself onto the apron of the ring. She falls to the ground, attempting to catch her breath, and Maxwell quickly hurries to the top rope! I think Maxwell is about to go high risk to the outside! :lupe:!!!!
Rich Russillo: ‘PRIVATE JET LANDING’!!!! MAXWELL WITH THE SHOOTING STAR PRESS TO THE OUTSIDE!!!!
Persephone: AND NO FUCKING SURPRISE HE CRASHES AND BURNS!!! ANDREA MOVED AND MAXWELL WITH AN UGLY LANDING ON THE OUTSIDE! I HOPE HE’S HURT!!!! THAT WOULD BE SO EXCITING!
James Peters: Well Maxwell certainly looks pretty worse for the wear. He is writhing around on the ground in pain, and Andrea slides into the ring to break up the count. She’s back on the outside now and she stomps away on Maxwell! Andrea pulls him up by the hair and rams him face first into the ringpost, before slamming his face off the hardest part of the ring! She throws Maxwell back inside the ring and climbs in after him! She goes for a cover!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRREE-
Persephone: Sigh.
Rich Russillo: Maxwell gets the shoulder up!
James Peters: Andrea goes for a front facelock, but Maxwell is able to catch her in the eye with his thumb! Andrea falls back and Maxwell takes a few precious seconds to recover! I’m sure he is still feeling the effects of that missed shooting star press to the outside, but if he wants to have a chance to win this match, he’s going to have to get it together. Maxwell is up now and he takes Andrea by the hair! The champ relies on her instincts to fight him off but Maxwell seizes Andrea by the wrist and whips her into the ropes! She ducks his attempt at a clothesline AND CATCHES LEAPS IN THE AIR ON A REBOUND! ANDREA WITH A TILT-A-WHIRL HEADSCISSORS THAT SHE TRANSITIONS INTO A MODIFIED ARMBAR!!!! ANDREA’S LEG IS HOOKED AROUND MAXWELL’S NECK AND HAS HIS ARM EXTENDED BEHIND HIM! THAT IS FANTASTIC!!!
Rich Russillo: ANDREA IS USING HER FREE LEG TO KNEE MAXWELL IN THE FACE! MAXWELL STUMBLES TOWARDS THE ROPES AND FINALLY AND HOOKS HIS ARMS AROUND THEM! ANDREA HAS NO CHOICE BUT TO RELEASE THE SUBMISSION BUT SHE IS BACK DOWN ON HER FEET! SHE RUNS THE ROPES AND COMES BACK AT MAXWELL, JUMPING ON HIS BACK! ANDREA WITH A DOUBLE KNEE BACKBREAKER!! WITH HER KNEES PLANTED IN MAXWELL’S BACK SHE ROLLS HIM INTO A STRAIGHT JACKET SURFBOARD SUBMISSION!
Persephone: Alright. Go ahead and quit, Maxy. The sooner this is over, the sooner we end this shit and next week comes. Then I can see Rexy again :wow:!!!
James Peters: Andrea can’t hang on though! Maxwell is able to power himself out! He rolls towards the corner, but Andrea is all over him! She clubs him in the back until he is down on his knees and she grabs him by the hair, slamming his face into the middle turnbuckle! Andrea drags Maxwell’s face across the ropes and pulls him back to his feet! Andrea goes to whip Maxwell into the ropes, but Maxwell is able to block and he catches Andrea with a knee to the stomach! He elbows her in the back of the head and that drops Andrea to a knee, and Maxwell rushes the ropes himself! He flies back at Andrea and hits her with a basement style dropkick! Maxwell grabs Andrea’s legs for the cover!!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEE-
Rich Russillo: ANDREA KICKS OUT!
Persephone: Damn. He looks pissed. Just when you think some couldn’t get any uglier…
James Peters: Maxwell is starting to look desperate. He has tried so many times to put Andrea away in this match, only to have her continue to survive. To defeat the EAW World Champion would be the biggest win in Maxwell’s young career! He has to go for it here!
Rich Russillo: Andrea has pulled herself up to all fours, and Maxwell hooks her around the waist! He brings Andrea up into the powerbomb position once again but Andrea fights back! She begins raining elbows down on top of Maxwell’s head and that forces him to let go! Andrea is back on her feet and she takes Maxwell down with a spinning heel kick! Andrea quickly goes back to the top rope!!! MAGIC HOUR! THE ROUNDING MOONSAULT CONNECTS ON MAXELL AND ANDREA WITH THE COVER!!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
Persephone: FOR FUCK’S SAKE! SOMEONE STAY DOWN!!!
James Peters: MAXWELL IS STILL ALIVE IN THIS MATCH! The crowd is urging Andrea to finish off this match and has backed herself up into the corner! She waits for Maxwell to get to his feet and she rushes for him! LEAPING ‘ATOMIC BL-
Rich Russillo: SUPERKICK FROM MAXWELL!!!! HE HAD IT SCOUTED AGAIN!!! MAXWELL QUICKLY DROPS DOWN ON ANDREA FOR THE COVER!!!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
Persephone: WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY???? I’M BEING TORTURED!!!!!!!!!
James Peters: MAXWELL IS STUNNED! HE THOUGHT HE HAD ANDREA DOWN AND OUT! ANDREA GOT THE SHOULDER UP! MAXWELL DOESN’T KNOW WHAT TO DO AT THIS POINT! HE PULLS ANDREA UP BY THE NECK AND THIS TIME I THINK HE IS GOING FOR HIS VARIATION OF THE GUTWRENCH POWERBOMB! MAXWELL CALLS THIS ‘CHA-CHING’ BUT ANDREA IS ABLE TO FREE HERSELF! ANDREA NAILS MAXWELL IN THE STOMACH WITH A KICK AND SHE GRABS HIM AROUND THE NECK! ‘LOVE HAZE’!!! THE RUNNING CORKSCREW NECKBREAKER CONNECTS ON MAXWELL AND ANDREA FALLS ACROSS HIM!!!!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
TTTTTHHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Bella Braxton: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN… HERE IS YOUR WINNER… THE EAW WORLD CHAMPION… ANDREA VALENTINE!!!
(“Roll With Me” begins to play once again as Andrea slowly gets to her feet. She knows she won a tough match tonight against a very game Maxwell, and she’s clearly relieved to be through it and on her way to Pain for Pride.)
James Peters: Both Andrea and Rex picked up nice wins tonight on Voltage. Each of them are eying Pain for Pride now where Andrea’s EAW World Championship will be on the line.
Rich Russillo: It was an exciting night and next week, as we approach the last Voltage of the season, I just want to say that it’s been an incredible ride this year.
Persephone: Can’t relate. Don’t care. If Rex gets drafted to another brand for season 14, I damn sure won’t be here and you two losers will be on your own.
James Peters: Now I hope Rex gets drafted to another brand.
Rich Russillo: :mjcry: I don’t.
Persephone: Anyways, I’m done with this shit. Bring on next week… and more importantly bring on REX FOR PRIDE!!!
James Peters: For Persephone and Rich, I’m James. Goodnight!
(The camera takes a final shot of Andrea posing with her championship before fading to nothingness.)
(EAW logo buzzes.)
