Voltage 7/11/21

(EAW intro plays.)

(The camera opens up with the Pain for Pride XIV logo, before giving a recap of the events featuring Season 14’s Voltage roster. It starts off with the opening match of Pain for Pride, where Ahren Fournier defeated Terry Chambers after causing a shoulder injury, all to retain his Hall of Fame ring. Next, Holly Arrow has an interview about competing at Pain for Pride, but Jake Smith interrupts her, leading to a pretty heated back and forth, where Jake promises to hurt her. After this, Ms. Extreme defeats Darcy May Morgan to capture the Universal Women’s Championship, her first ever World Championship. Next, Dr. Bethany Blue retains the Specialists Championship against Ashley Flores and Voltage’s Candice Blair, after Dr. Blue pinned Ashley. Next, IDOL-GUN loses their Unified Tag Team Championships in an amazing match against Harlow Reichert and Xavier Williams. After this, Cameron Ella Ava makes her return to Pain for Pride, where she manages to defeat Rex McAllister. After this, Voltage’s SOSA Henderson would add a big victory to his resume against Dynasty’s Chris Elite in a heated match. After this another personal match would happen as Dynasty’s Harper Lee defeats Voltage’s Sierra by stoppage. Harper would try to further attack Sierra, but Dynasty’s Ximena Velasquez would stop her, leading to Ximena finally betraying Harper. After this was the 24/7 Battle Royale, and while Lisa Wren would be Voltage’s final participant, Donovan Duke would win the entire thing. Myles would win the Cash in the Vault ladder match, and this would only be the beginning for New Eden. In the following match Minerva would defeat TLA for the National Elite Championship, and in the main event of the entire show Drake King would defeat Malcolm Jones, ending his EAW Championship reign, and his career. The recap would end with New Eden standing tall, before fading to the words “Season 15”.)

(Finally, “33rd Blakk Glass” by Sosmula and ZillaKami plays as the camera pans around the live audience. Lights are flashing, the spotlights are panning, and the crowd is jumping for joy; before the camera pans to James Peters and Rich Russillo at the announcers booth. Persephone isn’t seen at the table, but the two commentators continue nonetheless)

James Peters: Ladies and gentleman for the first time in a year.. We welcome you to Sunday Night Voltage! In front of a sold out arena from the AT&T Center in San Antonio, Texas! This is the premier of Sunday Night Voltage, Season 15!

Rich Russillo: I’ll tell you what James, I am very emotional! It’s been a long ride to get here, but we have made it to the other side, and I can’t be more proud to be sitting here tonight! 

James Peters: Speaking of emotional, we should probably take a look at what’s going on inside of the ring :lupe:.

(The camera pins inside of the ring, where Persephone is seen pretty much reduced to tears. She seems to be wearing all black funeral attire, with a black veil, and a wrestling attire is laid out in front of her for some reason. Persephone tries to collect herself, before finally beginning to speak)

Persephone: Thank you all for showing up tonight, because this might just be the worst day in Voltage history and I need all the support I can get. We are in mourning as we have lost the heart and soul, and sex appeal of Voltage. Rex McAllister is no more. We’ll no longer be seeing Rexy’s beautiful face on Sunday night’s, and as if things couldn’t get any worse that hideous shrew that has latched onto him is here. I want to kill myself, but I’m trying to stay strong, because I know that’s what Rexy would have wanted. He would’ve wanted me to continue being the best commentator this company has to offer just like I’ve been doing for the past few seasons, so that’s what I’ll continue to do :wow:.

James Peters: What is she talking about?

Rich Russillo: Whose wrestling gear is that?

(The camera cuts to a close up of the clothes, and it turns out to be Rex McAllister’s Pain for Pride attire)

Rich Russillo: Oh…

James Peters: So THAT’S why she was hanging around backstage after Pain for Pride.

Persephone: :mjcry: This company won’t be the same without Rex McAllister. He was the best World Champion, best Unified Tag Team Champion, best Grand Rampage winner, best Pain for Pride main eventer, best Hall of Famer. There’s nothing Rexy wasn’t the best at. He was a legend and there’s nobody that could ever even come close to living up to him and his greatness. That’s just how amazing he was. He was the one thing keeping this place alive and without him I don’t know how I’ll make it through the season, but tonight we’re going to celebrate the legacy of the greatest man to ever grace this company. I think it’s only right that you’re all given the REAL EAW opening video, which I expect to see played every single week on every single show going forward.

James Peters: What is she talking about?

Rich Russillo: She’s mourning, James. Stop being rude.

James Peters: :wtf:

(With tears still in her eyes, Persephone points at the titantron with a bit of a proud look on her face. Suddenly, the screen lights up before playing a video)

( https://youtu.be/0JxTVkXE9b4 )

(As the video finally stops, Persephone is forced to wipe some of the tears from her eyes, clearly in awe after the video. Mumbling is heard from the crowd, clearly confused about whatever she’s doing.)

James Peters: :skip: 

Persephone: Thank you… Thank you.. I know, it’s amazing. I’m looking forward to seeing every show continue to honor Rexy’s legacy with that intro. This was the least we could do for the man that saved this company just by showing up. There’s only one more thing to do now, and that might be the hardest part for me. The ten bell salute. 

(As the lights begin to dim, Persephone ushers for the crowd to quiet down before beginning to look down at Rex’s wrestling gear. Nothing actually happens for a few seconds, but Persephone looks at a staff member near the timekeeper’s area and yells at them to ring the bell.)

(DING!)

(DING!)

(DING!)

(DING!)

(DING!)

(DING!)

(DING!)

(After the seventh bell, Persephone drops down to her knees, breaking down into tears as she begins sobbing, clearly not able to come to terms with Rex’s absence)

James Peters: Oh, brother.

Rich Russillo: Shhh, be respectful.

(DING!)

(DING!)

(DING!)

(Following the ten bell salute the lights turn back on, but Persephone is still crying inside of the ring. Rich gets out of his chair, and tells James to follow along, which James reluctantly agrees to while rolling his eyes. James picks up Rex’s gear, and the two help Persephone out of the ring. The fans slowly begin to clap after the tribute for Rex. They still are confused but they love Rex so they’re all for celebrating him in any way they can. James and Rich help Persephone get back to her seat, before James puts back on his headset)

James Peters: Ladies and gentlemen, we’ll be right back :francis:

(As Rich tries to cheer Persephone up, Voltage begins to fade out to the first commercial break of the night)

(Commercial for Rex McAllister: Far From EAW. Brought to you by Marvel studios in collaboration with EAW.)

(As Voltage fades back to ringside, “If Ya Smell” by Adam Massacre plays throughout the arena to a massive pop by the live audience. The Woogieman walks down the ramp trying to shake every hand that is presented, thanking them for showing up.) 

James Peters: It looks like we’re starting the first Voltage of the season off with a bang, as one of the biggest stars in the company WOOGIEMAN joins us! What an honor it is that we were able to get the steal of the draft! And now he’s gracing us with his presence to kick off season 15! We are blessed. 

Persephone: Uh.. What the fuck is that thing? Why are these gross fans cheering it? Kill me please.. I don’t want to be here. Isn’t it bad enough Rex isn’t here? Now I have suffer through whatever the hell this is? 

Rich Russillo: We have been waiting for a year to get back, and I have a great feeling about this season! I can’t think of any better way to get back into the swing of things, than with this man! 

Persephone: Man you say? Could’ve fooled me! Anyway it is a horrible feeling to be surrounded by so much crusted sweat stained neckbeards, and not the loving embrace of my lover to be sexy Rexy! Instead I get the Wookie guy, and the encompassing feeling like we’re in a petri dish of Coronavirus, about to die.. But let’s get this started I guess!

(The Woogieman stands in the ring with his head down, soaking in all the cheers. The more he waits the louder the crowd gets.) 

The Woogieman: The Woogieman thanks you for that. FINALLY! EAW HAS COME BACK! IN FRONT OF A LIVE AUDIENCE! 

(The Woogieman pauses for a raucous ovation again) 

The Woogieman: It’s The Woogieman’s honor to be the first one out in front of all you for the start of Season 15. The Woogieman must say it was nice to be a part of the Showdown roster last season entertaining all my Woogieman fans! The Woogieman would be lying if he didn’t say Voltage has always felt like The Woogiemans home! 

(The cheers come pouring in yet again, as Woogieman pauses) 

The Woogieman: The Woogieman would like to thank Captain Charisma for picking The Woogieman in the draft, and bringing the Woogieman back home. I would like to thank him personally, so Mr. Commissioner, please join The Woogieman in the ring! 

(“Self Help Tape” by Moses Sumney blares through the speakers as Captain Charisma makes his way out from the curtain and stands at the center of the stage looking around the crowd with a big smile on his face. He starts clapping, walking down to the ring, hi-fiving all of the fans who are crowding the ramp. He gets into the ring, and gives a handshake to Woogieman.) 

Persephone: Ugh we didn’t draft a better Commissioner? This is the worst. How is this man still employed? I can’t expect to have my livelihood in the hands of a Man so inept! 

James Peters: On the contrary I think we have the best Commissioner in all of EAW! He did a phenomenal job in the draft; making us the most premier brand in all of EAW! I can’t be happier with what he did. He has set us up for big things, and of course brand supremacy! 

Persephone: You want a bib for all the dick sucking you’re doing or….. 

Rick Russillo: I must agree with James, Peresphone, Captain Charisma flexed his Commissioner muscles at the draft! I can’t be happier to be a part of such a great show with a great Commissioner! 

Persephone: So you’re just going to double team that dick huh? Don’t forget to cup the balls, maybe massage the taint a little.. Daddy Charisma will tell you how good you dirty little sluts are. How in the actual fuck can you say that this Man did a great job, when he let the ONE good thing about this rotten place go? Sexy Rexy, the face of Voltage is gone, and you’re just over here slurping on this Man knob! 

James Peters & Rich Russillo: :WTF: 

(Captain Charisma takes a hold of a microphone and walks back to the middle of the ring.) 

Captain Charisma: Ah I’ve missed this. We’ve missed all of you! 

(The crowd erupts in cheers again) 

Captain Charisma: Last season was difficult not being able to perform in front of a live audience, but despite that little dilemma, Voltage was able to continue to be the gold standard of EAW. And this season I expect nothing different. I expect nothing but the best from all the performers on this roster; hence why I drafted them. Voltage won nearly every single thing there was to win, and I want more of the same, IF NOT BETTER! You the fans deserve nothing but the best, and I want you to know that we will do our damndest to provide the top standard quality performances that you have become accustomed with when it comes to Voltage. So with that being said, how about a little announcement? 

(The crowd rise to their feet in cheers) 

Persephone: Boo!! THIS GUY STINKS! WE WANT REX! WE WANT REX!

(Captain Charisma confused looks over at Persephone, before awkwardly going back to what he was saying) 

Captain Charisma: With the start of the new season, we want to start it off with a bang! So August 14th, we will be putting on the third annual free-per-view, BLOODSPORT! 

(The crowd erupts, jumping in excitement) 

Captain Charisma: And I can promise you this particular Bloodsport will be everything you love about the Voltage roster. It will be one of the most intense, bloodiest, physical, heart stopping action that you have ever witnessed! I expect nothing less, but the most bloody, and violent Bloodsport ever! And I will make sure of it. How you ask? Well with this little thing I call, The Wheel of Death! That’s right, the Wheel of Death makes its return in the coming weeks to determine the stipulations for the matches! And next week, Ms. Extreme, and Hikari Kanno will spin the wheel to determine their fates. Let me ask, do you like blood?!! 

(The crowd cheers loudly) 

Captain Charisma: Do you like violence??!! 

(The crowd cheers even louder) 

Captain Charisma: Do you want to watch something with the looming possibility of death right on the horizon at every turn?!!! 

(The crowd cheers so loud it seems like the roof is about to pop off the building) 

Captain Charisma: God I love you maniacs. It is so great to be back in front of a live audience, and you the fans. Thank you from the bottom of my hearts, from everyone here on Voltage for sticking with us through such a terrible time. We are back, and better than ever! Enjoy the show! 

(“Self Help Tape” by Moses Sumney starts up again as Captain Charisma tosses the microphone over to the side of the ring, and waves at the audience, before rolling out of the ring, and running around slapping everyone’s hand, before returning back up the ramp, and backstage)

Persephone: God that was so cringey! What a nerd, he really likes attention huh? Really hammed that up huh? Are we really THAT excited to be around so much disgusting B.O.? Can we go back to the dome please? Oh how I remember the dome so fondly, Sexy Rexy was there, I was there, stealing loving glances. *shivers* How tantalizing.. Ugh and now we’re here.. I forgot how disgusting everyone is… 

Rich Russillo: WILL YOU SHUT UP! THAT WAS INCREDIBLE! I HAVE TEARS IN MY EYES! 

James Peters: Ladies and gentlemen we are so happy to be back! Stay tuned, we will be right back with more Sunday Night Voltage in front of this electric crowd!

(The camera cuts to Bella Braxton standing in the middle of the ring.)

Bella Braxton: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR…ONE FALL!!!

Crowd: ONE FALL!!!

(‘While She Sleeps’ by Trophies of Violence plays to a chorus of boos as Alex Myers enters the arena and heads to the ring.)

Bella Braxton: Introducing first! From Seattle, Washington, weighing in at 170 pounds… “THE FORGOTTEN MORTAL” ALEX MYERS.

James Peters: Alex Myers is heading down to the ring. They had  a very impressive showing at the EAW Draft Show last week  picking up a huge victory in tag team action. Now we’ll get to see Alex Myers for the first time for their Voltage debut in singles action.

Persephone: Fitting nickname for someone I’ll forget when this match is over.

Rich Russillo: Getting started early, huh? Regardless of the reaction the crowd is giving Alex Myers, they have a ton of potential and this match could go a long way in this young Elitist’s future.

James Peters: Alex Myers likes to cause pain in any way possible. Let’s see if Myers can do that tonight with his opponent waiting in the wings.

(‘While She Sleeps’ stops playing as Alex Myers enters the ring. Seconds later, ‘Dust’ by Tremonti starts to play as Kevin Hunter enters to a mixed reaction. Kevin Hunter begins making his way down to the ring, not saying much as he keeps his eyes on his opponent.)

Bella Braxton: The opponent! From Brooklyn, New York, weighing in at 235 pounds… “THE DEVIL INCARNATE” KEVIN HUNTER!

Persephone: Another fitting nickname. This one looks like Hell rolled over.

James Peters: Will you quit that? Kevin Hunter is making his way to the ring. He is actually making his return to EAW. First time in 2 years that Kevin Hunter has had a match here in EAW. Let’s see if there is any ring rust as he competes tonight against a hot rookie in Alex Myers.

Rich Russillo: Kevin Hunter took a silent approach towards his opponent this week, but it might pay off for him in his return to EAW. Will the rookie or the veteran leave Voltage as a winner? We’re about to find out. Kevin Hunter is in the ring as we are about to begin. 

(DING! DING! DING!)

James Peters: Here we go! The bell has rung and the first Voltage match of the new season is underway. This match will be interesting to say the least. Two completely different styles with the two in the ring. These two are feeling each other out and just glaring daggers into each other before they finally lock up in the center of the ring. That lock up didn’t last very long because Hunter just used his strength and shoved Myers away with ease. Look at the smirk on the face of Kevin Hunter. He’s just trying to annoy Alex Myers and show Myers his strength advantage.

Rich Russillo: With a nine inch height and sixty-five pound weight advantage, it’s no shock that he’s going to use it. But look at Myers! Myers didn’t like that one bit. Alex is right back up and ready to lock up again. Hunter doesn’t really take Alex Myers too seriously, but he looks to oblige. Hunter goes for the lock up again, but Alex Myers just slaps Kevin Hunter across the face instead. HUNTER LOOKS SHOCKED BUT HE DIDN’T LIKE THAT ONE BIT! Kevin has had enough and just grabs Alex by the shoulders and forcibly pushes Myers into the turnbuckle. HUNTER HAS ALEX BY THE THROAT AND IS CHOKING HIM IN THE CORNER! The ref starts the count trying to get him to break the choke. 

Persephone: Just let him choke the demon to death. It’ll get the match over quicker.

Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! 

Rich Russillo: Kevin Hunter breaks the choke but he starts kicking the midsection of Alex Myers. Trying to do damage early on to the young rookie. Hunter puts Myers on the top turnbuckle before climbing up himself. Hunter is looking for a superplex, but Alex is starting to fight back throwing right hands into the head of Kevin Hunter. Myers manages to get Hunter off balance and pushes him off the turnbuckles, but he’s still on his feet. 

James Peters: Alex Myers is now standing on the top turnbuckle looking ready to fly. MYERS JUMPS LOOKING FOR A CROSSBODY! BUT KEVIN HUNTER CATCHES HIM IN MIDAIR! HUNTER ADJUSTS BY PUTTING MYERS ON HIS SHOULDERS IN A FIREMAN’S CARRY. HE WALKS MYERS TO THE ROPES LOOKING TO DUMP MYERS OUT OF THE RING. HUNTER THROWS HIM OFF HIS SHOULDERS…WAIT A SECOND!! MYERS USES HIS LEGS TO CATCH HUNTER AT THE LAST SECOND WITH A VERY CREATIVE COUNTER WITH A HEADSCISSORS TO SEND HUNTER TUMBLING OUT OF THE RING!! 

Persephone: Way to go moron. Now the ref is starting the count. Just ring the damn bell and end this match now. Nobody will even care about who wins.

Referee: One!! Two!!

James Peters: The action picking up early in the match as Myers looks at Hunter and looks at the opposite side of the ring. Myers hits the ropes on the opposite side of the before running back to the other side of the ring and diving through the ropes. ALEX MYERS HITS THE SUICIDE DIVE ON KEVIN HUNTER ON THE OUTSIDE! THE HEAD OF MYERS CATCHES HUNTER RIGHT IN THE STOMACH! That will knock the wind out of him. Kevin is on one knee by the barricade as Alex tries to drag him back into the ring. KEVIN HUNTER QUICKLY STOPS ALEX BY GRABBING HIM BY THE WAIST AND SENDING ALEX BACK FIRST INTO THE SIDE OF THE RING. Smart move by the man who calls himself the Alpha King.

Referee: Three! Four! Five!

Persephone: Alpha King? What the hell is that? Like anybody cares.

Referee: Six! Seven!

Rich Russillo: Sorry, Percy. No countout today as Alex is shoved back into the ring by Kevin Hunter. Hunter follows suit getting back in the ring and picks up Alex again before delivering a backbreaker. Hunter pushes Alex Myers back down to the mat before hooking the leg for the first pin of the match.

ONNNNEEE!

TWWWWOOOO!

James Peters: Kickout by Alex Myers! Kevin Hunter starts to pick up Alex again, but Alex catches him with a knee to the side of the head. Hunter quickly reels, but he goes for an elbow drop in return. BUT HUNTER MISSES WHEN ALEX ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY! Hunter is down, Myers is up, and Myers looks ready to get on the attack! Myers hits the ropes and Hunter is on his knees. DROPKICK TO THE FACE OF KEVIN HUNTER! HUNTER ON HIS BACK AND MYERS MOUNTS KEVIN AND STARTS PUNCHING LEFTS AND RIGHTS INTO THE FACE OF KEVIN HUNTER!!

Rich Russillo: Hunter caught off-guard and trying to cover up as Alex Myers continues to rain punches into his face. The ref pulls Myers off and Myers looks at the ropes once again. Alex Myers runs to the ropes and jumps onto the second rope. MYERS WITH A BEAUTIFUL SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT ONTO KEVIN HUNTER!! MYERS GOES FOR THE PIN USING ALL THEIR WEIGHT FOR THE COVER!!!

ONNNNEEEE!!

TWWWOOOOO!!!

Persephone: Kevin Hunter kicks out. This boring match continues. Damn it!

James Peters: Alex Myers pulling Kevin Hunter back up to his feet by the hair. Myers whips Hunter into the corner, but Hunter counters, sending Myers into the corner. Myers in the corner and Hunter runs at full speed and CATCHES MYERS WITH A CORNER CLOTHESLINE!! MYERS HOLDING STAYING ON HIS FEET HOLDING ONTO THE ROPES, BUT HUNTER ISN’T THROUGH!!! HUNTER BACKS UP AND RUNS AT FULL SPEED AGAIN TO THE CORNER! KEVIN GOES FOR A CORNER SPLASH, BUT MYERS MOVES OUT OF THE WAY SENDING KEVIN CHEST FIRST INTO THE CORNER!! 

Rich Russillo: MYERS NOW BEHIND HUNTER BEFORE RUNNING BACK TO THE CORNER AND DELIVERING ANOTHER DROPKICK SENDING KEVIN HUNTER CHEST FIRST AGAIN INTO THE TURNBUCKLES!!! MYERS GRABS HUNTER BY THE WRIST BEFORE JUMPING ONTO THE TOP TURNBUCKLES AND SENDING HUNTER DOWN WITH A SPRINGBOARD ARM DRAG!!! MYERS ISN’T DONE!!! HUNTER IS DOWN AND MYERS IS NOW ON THE SECOND ROPE! MYERS LOOKS TO FLY ONCE AGAIN!! MYERS JUMPS AND DOCTOR SLEEP CONNECTS!! DIVING KNEES RIGHT TO THE SKULL OF KEVIN HUNTER!!! MYERS HOOKS THE LEG! WILL THIS BE ENOUGH?

ONNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!!

TWOOOOOOO!!!!!!

THREEEEEEEE–

James Peters: VERY CLOSE KICKOUT BY KEVIN HUNTER!! HUNTER STILL DOWN  AND MYERS CLIMBS BACK ONTO THE ROPES, BUT KEVIN HUNTER QUICKLY SHAKES THE COBWEBS AND STRIKES MYERS ON THE BACK! HUNTER PICKS UP MYERS OFF THE ROPES AND LOOKS TO POWERBOMB MYERS AND HE DOES!!!

Persephone: Hunter goes for the cover. Thank god! Maybe his back is broken and all this torture can end!

ONNNNEEEE!!!!

TWWWOOOOO!!!!

THREEEE—

Rich Russillo: HUNTER PICKS MYERS UP BY THE NECK FORCING THE REF TO STOP THE COUNT!!

Persephone: Why in the fuck would the idiot do that? He could have won the match and we could have gone on with this show from hell. Why is he doing this to me?

James Peters: He looks like he wants to do more damage to Alex Myers. That might be a mistake, but we will find out. HUNTER PICKS UP AND PUTS MYERS INTO ANOTHER FIREMAN’S CARRY! LOOKS LIKE KEVIN HUNTER IS LOOKING TO HIT DOOMSDAY! HUNTER SPINS AND THROWS MYERS INTO THE FACEBUSTER!!! HUNTER HITS THE DOOMSDAY!!!

Rich Russillo: NO HE DIDN’T!!! LOOK AT THAT!!! MYERS GRABS HUNTER BY THE NECK AT THE LAST SECOND AND COUNTERS THE DOOMSDAY INTO A MODIFIED TORNADO DDT!!! 

Persephone: That wasn’t bad I guess. This match is still so boring!

James Peters: Would you stop? NOW MYERS GRABS THE CLOSEST ARM OF HUNTER AND LOCKS IN THE FUJIWARA ARMBAR! MYERS IS LOOKING TO MAKE HUNTER PAY BY JUST PUNCHING THE CRAP OUT OF THE HAND OF KEVIN HUNTER!! HUNTER IS GRIMACING IN PAIN AND MIGHT HAVE TO GIVE IT UP IF ALEX KEEPS ATTACKING THE HANDS AND NOW THE ELBOW!! HUNTER HAS HIS OTHER HAND RAISED! HE’S READY TO TAP! HOLD ON!! KEVIN HUNTER IS ABLE TO USE HIS OTHER ARM TO PUSH UP AND ROLL OVER!! THAT MOVE CAUSES MYERS TO FALL BACKWARDS!! MYERS STILL HAS THE ARM BUT NOW HE’S BEEN ROLLED UP BY KEVIN HUNTER!!

ONNNEEEEE!


TWOOOOOO!!!

THREEEEE—

Persephone: Alex gets the shoulder up. Here we go! If this match must continue, can someone at least bleed or something?

Rich Russillo: I don’t think it’ll happen in this match. Sorry to break it to you.

Persephone: :rolling_eyes:

James Peters: HUNTER BACK UP TO HIS FEET TRYING TO SHAKE SOME OF THE DAMAGE AWAY THAT ALEX DID WITH THAT ARMBAR BUT WHO KNOWS HOW MUCH DAMAGE HAS BEEN DONE. ALEX RUNS TO HIM AT FULL FORCE AND GETS CLOBBERED BY A CLOTHESLINE WITH THE OPPOSITE ARM OF KEVIN HUNTER. HUNTER GRABS THE NECK OF ALEX MYERS AND PLANTS MYERS WITH A SWINGING NECKBREAKER! NOW HUNTER PICKS MYERS BACK UP AND LOOKS TO POWERBOMB MYERS AGAIN!! MYERS UP BUT HE’S FIGHTING BACK AND IS LOOKING TO GET FREE!!

Rich Russillo: THE DAMAGE FROM THE ARMBAR DOESN’T HELP KEVIN HUNTER AS ALEX MYERS GETS OUT OF THE POWERBOMB AND KICKS HUNTER IN THE GUT!! MYERS JUMPS ONTO THE BACK OF KEVIN AND LOCKS THEIR LEGS AROUND HIM. MYERS LOOKING FOR A SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMB!! 

James Peters: BUT MYERS WAS TOO CLOSE TO THE ROPES AND HUNTER HOLDS ON CAUSING MYERS TO CRASH LAND ON HIS BACK!! KEVIN HUNTER SEES THE SITUATION MYERS IS IN AND JUST DROPS DOWN, HUNTER GOING FOR THE PIN!! WAIT!!! HUNTER IS GRABBING THE ROPES! HE MIGHT JUST STEAL THE VICTORY FROM ALEX MYERS!

Persephone: HAHAHAHA!!  The dumbass ref doesn’t see it and starts the count.

Rich Russillo: THE REF LOOKS UP AT THE LAST POSSIBLE SECOND AND SEES KEVIN HUNTER GRABBING THE ROPES!! THE REF STOPS COUNTING AND KEVIN HUNTER IS LOOKING AT THE REF WONDERING WHY HE STOPPED COUNTING!! THE REF SIMPLY POINTS AT KEVIN’S HAND HOLDING THE ROPES!

Persephone: Moron’s been sniffing the motorcycle fumes too long. Can’t even cheat right.

James Peters: KEVIN HUNTER DOESN’T LOOK HAPPY AND HE GRABS ALEX MYERS AND SIMPLY THROWS HIM FROM ONE SIDE OF THE RING TO THE OTHER. HE PICKS UP MYERS AGAIN AND IS LOOKING TO TRY ANOTHER POWERBOMB. NOPE! HUNTER HOOKS THE ARMS OF MYERS AND HITS HIS VERSION OF THE FACEBUSTER! CAN MYERS COUNTER? NOPE! IN THE END HITS!! WILL THIS BE ENOUGH? HUNTER WITH THE COVER!

Rich Russillo: KEVIN HUNTER THINKS HE’S WON THE MATCH, BUT ALEX MYERS WAS ABLE TO GET THE FOOT ON THE BOTTOM ROPE!! THAT STOPS THE COUNT AND ALEX MYERS IS STILL SURVIVING IN THE MATCH! KEVIN DOESN’T REALIZE WHAT HAS HAPPENED AND HE IS CELEBRATING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING, BUT THE REF STOPS HIS VICTORY AND SHOWS HIM THE FOOT ON THE ROPE!

Persephone: If a pin by the ropes doesn’t work the first time, don’t do it again. You think that the bell not ringing would have been his first clue. Stupid!

James Peters: Kevin Hunter looks at the foot of Alex Myers under the bottom rope and he is angry! KEVIN HUNTER JUST GOT IN THE FACE OF THE REFEREE! KEVIN HUNTER IS ARGUING WITH THE REFEREE ABOUT THE COUNT! ARGUE ALL YOU WANT, IT ISN’T GOING TO CHANGE ANYTHING! BUT LOOK FROM BEHIND!! ALEX MYERS USES THE LAPSE OF JUDGEMENT AND CATCHES HIM IN A CRUCIFIX!! MYERS IS MUSTERING ALL THE POWER POSSIBLE TO SEND HUNTER BACK!! HUNTER IS TRYING TO FIGHT IT, BUT HAVING HIS ATTENTION DIVERTED WITH THE REFEREE DOESN’T HELP AS MYERS HITS THE CRUCIFIX DRIVER! HUNTER LANDS HARD ON THE BACK OF HIS HEAD!!!

Persephone: Good. Maybe it’ll knock some sense into that empty head of his.

Rich Russillo: HUNTER IS DOWN AGAIN AND IT LOOKS LIKE ALEX MYERS IS WANTING TO FINISH KEVIN HUNTER OFF ONCE AND FOR ALL! MYERS IS CLIMBING TO THE TOP ROPE!!! MYERS HAS THEIR BACK TO THE RING! MYERS LOOKS BACK AT HUNTER BEFORE TAKING THE PLUNGE! LOOK OUT BELOW BECAUSE MYERS JUMPS! SINNER’S LULLABY LANDS RIGHT ON THE MONEY!! MYERS HITS THEIR VERSION OF THE COFFIN DROP! ALL OF MYER’S WEIGHT LANDS ON HUNTER’S CHEST AS ALEX MYERS GOES FOR THE COVER AND HOOKS THE LEG!!

ONNNNNNEEEEE!!!!!!!

TWWWWWWOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

THHHHHRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!

(DING! DING! DING!) 

Bella Braxton: HERE IS YOUR WINNER…ALEX MYERS!!!!!

(Alex gets off of Kevin and has their hand raised by the referee as ‘While She Sleeps’ plays.)

James Peters: What a victory! Both competitors fought hard, but in the end, it’s Alex Myers walking out a winner. Some might call that an upset, but this match proved that Alex Myers is on their way to making a big name for themself on Voltage and here in EAW! 

Persephone: Who cares? I’m just glad that this match is over!

Rich Russillo: Whatever the case may be, Alex Myers has a successful Voltage debut. Good showing from Kevin Hunter, but maybe better luck next time as he’s still looking for his first victory in his return to EAW.

(Alex walks up the ramp, proud of their victory as the camera fades elsewhere.)

(The camera fades backstage where we see Sofia Clarke standing in front of the designated interview area)

Sofia Clarke: Ladies and Gentle- 

(Sofia is about to announce the guest but Miku Sakai walks right in before her introduction swinging a bottle of vodka around, stumbling into frame)

Miku Sakai: Oh shut up, shut the hell up you stupid cow. You and your goodwill clothes need to just get the fuck out of here. Yeah haha let’s all laugh at Miku, let’s all laugh at IDOL-GUN! HA YEAH LAUGH IT UP! I bet you’re just sooo happy huh? You stupid cunt, fuck you. I don’t even want to hear it. I know exactly what you’re going to say, you want to ask me about the demise of IDOL-GUN, I bet you’ve been sopping wet at the thought of it ever since you saw us lose that match. But I’m not trying to even hear that shit, I’m putting my ear muffs on, and blocking that shit out, and you know what? They’re designer, and work magnificently. So you can talk your shit, finger fuck the shit out of yourself over what you think happened, but I’m here to set the record straight. IDOL-GUN isn’t dead; we just hit a bump in the road.. God look at your stupid fucking smug face, your’e such a cunt. You’re a bitch, and I fucked your Dad last night.. Ugh, no I didn’t, I’m just angry. I would never stoop that low, I’ve seen your Dad and he’s disgusting. 

Sofia Clarke: Ladies and Gentleman, my guest at this time Miku Sakai! 

Miku Sakai: Don’t patronise me, I patronize you, because you’re a nobody piece of shit. I walk on you to get to the places I want to be. You’re the dirt under my designer heels, bitch. 

(Miku starts guzzling the vodka bottle) 

Sofia Clarke: I did actually have a question for you.. 

Miku Sakai: No I can’t help you with make up, your shit’s too fucked up to fix… 

Sofia Clarke: No, actually I wanted to ask you about the loss at Pain for Pride. You lost the Unified Tag Team Championships, how are you handling that?

Miku Sakai: I’m fucking fantastic. 

Sofia Clarke: So why the vodka? 

Miku Sakai: It’s water

Sofia Clarke: I can smell the alcohol on your breath from here. 

Miku Sakai: Ok Scooby Doo with that fucking hound dog nose. Why don’t I spread my legs and you can take a whiff of that? You can find out what I’ve been up to since the loss. I’M DOING GREAT. What don’t you understand? I am Miku FUCKING Sakai, I don’t fail, IDOL-GUN doesn’t fail. We might stumble, but we don’t fall. I am having a light drink, and that is no indication as to how I’m feeling at the moment. We will get those titles back eventually, and you will have to eat your fucking words, like you eat the desert at the buffet table every show.. Thunder thighs. 

Sofia Clarke: Well, I do enjoy myself a good pastry, but let’s stay on topic. Your partner seems to have already jumped at the chance to face Ms. Extreme for the Universal Women’s Championship. What’s up with that? 

Miku Sakai: Fuck do you mean? I’m going to hit you with this glass bottle, and I hope you become concussed! 

(Miku takes a swing at Sofia, and accidentally throws the bottle missing Sofia entirely) 

Miku Sakai : W-wait, I get a redo.. SIMPS!! 

(Some simps come running into frame) 

Miku Sakai: I have seemed to drop my bottle 50 feet that way, go fetch it.. 

(The simps go running off fighting each other trying to be the first to get to the bottle so they can have the honor of bringing it back to Miku) 

Miku Sakai: You see that? You see that shit? At my beck and call they do whatever the fuck I want. They know what happened at Pain For Pride wasn’t a true telling of what IDOL-GUN is, and will be. We lost at Pain For Pride by a technicality; but before that shitty match that should never have even happened; we carried that division for months. We were a Godsend to that tag team division. So how about you show a little bit of class? How about a thank you for rescuing the tag team division when it was needed most. Fucking idiot. You want to rub it in huh? *hiccup* You want to tell me that we deserved it? WE DIDN’T.. DID NOT! Deserve it. And I hope Harlow and Xavier feel like the terrible people that they are! 

(The simps return with the bottle, clothes now torn) 

Miku Sakai: Ok now stand still, I must hit you with this bottle! STOP MOVING! Why are there two of you? Did you find out how to clone??? 

(Sofia shrugs off what’s happening)

Sofia Clarke: I’m still waiting on a real answer here. I asked you about Hikari challenging for the Universal Women’s Championship. 

Miku Sakai: Hikari can do whatever she wants to do. I support her in anything she sprouts her little wings toward. I’m not going to keep her from her dreams; and she won’t keep me away from mine. IDOL-GUN is a global fixture, and with that type of expectations we needed to expand anyway. She can go for the Universal Women’s Championship, and I can go try for something else. You saw me in that No Way Out match, I was THIIIISSSS close to wrestling for the Universal Women’s Championship at Pain For Pride.. You know it, you won’t admit it because you’re a terrible person that doesn’t want to give me credit for anything.. But you… Know it. I’m rooting for Hikari. I hope she wins the Universal Womens’ Championship because the person that holds it now is a horrible person just like you. We need a Queen to hold that, cuz right now some adopted shit head holds it, and it’s not very fetch if you know what I mean. 

Sofia Clarke: Oh are you trying to make fetch happen? 

Miku Sakai: No I’m actually trying to make your murder happen.. Stay still! 

???: Excuse me, excuse me but the star has arrived! 

(Candice Blair walks into the picture. She’s draped in diamonds, a fur coat, and sunglasses. She’s being followed by a small entourage, and she stands right in front of the camera, in front of Miku.) 

Candice Blair: Now I know all of you have seen the now infamous entrance that I made at Pain For Pride. It has garnered a lot of attention so I know you all must be very starstruck right now. But have no fear, even though I have made it big, I still have time for the little people. And I mean that figuratively… 

(Candice turns around and looks at Miku) 

Candice Blair: And literally. 

(Miku can be seen making faces in the background, pacing around, thinking about murder, but Candice continues) 

Candice Blair: You’ve all seen my music performance at Pain For Pride by now I’m sure; it was the talk of the town. It has millions of views on Youtube, and it has been shared numerous times over social media. I have had just an outpour of support, and it really has touched me. You see, it’s not just you, the little people, that seemed to have liked it. It just so happens that my entrance caught the eye of a big time music producer, and he.. Just like everyone else in the world, loved what he heard. And I want to let all of you know that I will be cutting a full length album that is scheduled to release sometime 2022. Now I know that sounds like a long time from now, but I can give a little sneak peak for all my adoring fans. 

(Miku keeps raising the bottle behind the head of Candice, and then shaking her head and putting it down. Instead she takes a different approach, and uses her voice) 

Miku Sakai: Uhh EXCUSE ME??? CUNT??! Hey!

(Candice ignores the noise behind her) 

Candice Blair: I want to make this perfectly clear; even though I would’ve accomplished all of this without you, the fans, I appreciate every one of you. My talent shows no barriers, and now you all get to enjoy it even more, on a much more grand scale. 

Miku Sakai: WHAT THE FUCK!! THIS WAS MY SHITTY INTERVIEW WITH THIS SHITTY REPORTER!!! 

(Candice turns around) 

Candice Blair: Oh hmm?? My apologies, I didn’t see you there. I didn’t realize that I was interrupting you.. 

(Candice turns back to the camera) 

Candice Blair: Anyway, I will be getting to this album right away, because I know that none of you can wait. It is an exciting.. 

(Miku gets in front of Candice Blair and pushes her) 

Miku Sakai: Hey! Stupid bitch, no one cares about your shitty music. The only reason anyone was talking about your terrible entrance was because it was a meme due to how shitty it was. I mean this is a comedy album right? Because no one is going to want to hear an hour long shart come out of your mouth and into their ears. That sounds like absolute torture. Like honestly, who the fuck wants another Ava sister being forced on them? You’re literally the least interesting one of the entire spawns.. Also, your dye job is terrible! We all know you’re not really blonde, just get over it, we all know under that mask of make up and hair dye you’re a grotesque pig! 

Candice Blair: OMG you are so RUDE! I can see why you lost your Unified Tag Team Championships, you’re just a little brat with no substance. Clearly you know what you said just now is an absolute lie. I am the most beautiful Elitist, and the most interesting Ava of them all! I am destined for great things. You’ll see when my album goes platinum! You’re just jealous because I’m able to accomplish things on my own, and you can’t do anything without Hikari by your side. Look at her getting a Universal Women’s Championship match, while you’re back here drunk, complaining. Why don’t you actually do something productive with your life? You’re just a sad pathetic little shit, and you will never amount to anything again! Your life is nothing but surrounded by failure. And once again you have failed; only this time, Hikari isn’t going to be there to pick you back up! 

Miku Sakai: Like anyone gives a fuck about your make a wish album! Not even your adopted sister’s orphan would accept that shit as a gift. It’s going to be nothing but landfill! You are polluting this Earth, and I won’t stand for that! I love Earth ok? I have donated to have one tree to be planted in my time! Sure I was pressured into doing it on a livestream or whatever, but I did it! I don’t need Hikari, I love her, but I don’t need her. I’m not codependent on whatever she’s doing at the time. I have shown that in the past, and I am going to show it some more. You can think whatever you want, I don’t give a fuck MSSSSSSS Blair. Because you’re single as FUCK! 

Candice Blair: Whatever little one, at least I’m not the resident hot dog stand.. If you know what I mean. Don’t think that the Men will continue to flow like they do now by the way, once Hikari leaves you, so will all of them! 

(Miku throws the now empty bottle of Vodka at Candice head, but misses. Candice turns around to look at where the bottle went) 

Candice Blair: Hey! You almost hit me with that! Be careful!

(Candice turns back around to a big slap to the face by Miku, and falls to the floor)

Miku Sakai: That fur coat isn’t even real, bitch… 

(Candice looks up at Miku) 

Candice Blair: Well of course it’s not! I have to save the animals! 

Miku Sakai: THEY’RE ALL GONNA CHOKE ON YOUR GARBAGE CDS! YOU ANIMAL MURDERER! 

Candice Blair: No… Did you not see my Pain For Pride entrance? I’m a shoo in for the Grammy…

Miku Sakai: Ughhh! 

(Miku rolls her eyes, before leading the simps off. Candice dramatically lays on the floor with a hand on her cheek, really being overdramatic about the slap. From there, Voltage fades away from the area)

(Voltage fades back to ringside, and Bella Braxton is seen in the middle of the ring with a microphone in hand.)

Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen… The following contest is a tag team match, scheduled for ONE FALL!!!!

Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!

(‘Stop Breathing’ by Playboi Carti hits, and the entire crowd begins to boo as Jake Smith makes his way out to the stage with a confident smirk on his face. It’s Jake, so it doesn’t come as a surprise that he doesn’t actually wait on his partner, and instead begins to make his way down to the ring, taking in all the boos without a care in the world. As Jake finally makes it inside of the ring and stays in an empty corner, ‘Nothing Helps’ by ONE OK ROCK hits, causing the boos to turn into cheers as Mary S. Atlas begins making her way out. She makes her way down to the ring as her partner is already there, and she looks around at the AT&T Center as the cheering continues. As she makes it to the ring, she climbs up onto the ring apron, as Jake makes it clear that he plans to start the match. Mary doesn’t seem to have too much of a problem with it, and she makes her final pose as the crowd continues to cheer for her.)

Bella Braxton: Introducing first….. THE TEAM OF JAAAAAKKKEEE SMMIIIITTTHH…. AND MARRYYYY S. AAATTLLAASSSS!!!!!

James Peters: This is a very unlikely duo, but this is pretty much a match between enemies as Jake and Mary face off against Donovan Duke and Holly Arrow! I never thought I’d call Jake and Donovan enemies, but after this past week they’re definitely not friends.

Rich Russillo: Donovan’s making a mistake. Jake gave him a career. Jake’s the reason Donovan found the success he did, and now he’s pretty much trying to throw it all away!

Persephone: I don’t know if Donovan really found THAT much success with Jake. If anything Donovan’s the type to fail his cash in, or go out like Jon Kelton and not get to cash in at all.

(‘Survive’ by Rise Against hits, and once again the crowd boos as Holly Arrow makes her way out to the stage. She walks down towards the middle of the ramp, and she looks directly at Mary S. Atlas, who’s staring a hole into her, before just shaking her head and brushing it off. Unlike Jake Holly does wait for her partner, and as Holly waits at the middle of the ramp, ‘The Outsiders’ by Eric Church hits. The boos lessen a bit as the crowd gives more of a mixed reaction, and Donovan Duke begins walking out, immediately beginning to walk towards the ring. Donovan and Holly make their way down the ramp, and Donovan keeps his eyes focused on Jake as they make their way to the ring. As Donovan and Holly get on the apron, they agree to let Donovan start the match, knowing who’s on the opposite side.)

James Peters: You guys talked about Jake and Donovan, but what about Holly and Mary? I really didn’t expect Most Wanted Arrow to break up the way they did back at Pain for Pride. It was actually pretty sad, I thought they’d be a team for much longer.

Persephone: Their breakup was hilarious. I didn’t think anything could top Ronan’s fail at Battle of Egypt, but somehow Holly did it. Holly might as well just stay out of the ring tonight.

Rich Russillo: I’d assume Holly wants to recover from Pain for Pride, though. She turned her back on Most Wanted Arrow, and usually this is supposed to lead to her singles career blossoming! 

Persephone: It’s Holly Arrow. Even Mary’s career can’t go that far. 

(Ding! Ding! Ding!)

James Peters: And this match is on! Donovan Duke and Jake Smith starting the match, and I’m sure there’s tons of tension between these two after Insurgency’s split back at Pain for Pride! Jake and Donovan are just sharing a cold stare at each other, AND NOW DONOVAN CHARGES AT-

*TAG!*

James Peters: Annddd Jake just tagged in Mary S. Atlas. In that case, nevermind. I guess I should just take back everything I just said, because Jake doesn’t look interested in entering the match at all right now. 

Donovan Duke: (off-mic) :wtf:

Jake Smith: (off-mic) :mjlol2:

Rich Russillo: Even Mary looks a bit confused, but she quickly brushes it off before locking up with Donovan Duke! Donovan Duke is able to power Mary into the corner thanks to him having the size advantage, but Mary is able to slip out of it before sending Donovan into the corner! Mary pulls Donovan out before locking in a headlock, but Donovan is quick to send Mary bouncing off the ropes! DONOVAN NOW GOING FOR A HIP TOSS, BUT MARY S. ATLAS IS ABLE TO LAND ON HER FEET! MARY NOW ATTEMPTING A PELE KICK, BUT DONOVAN MOVES OUT OF THE WAY, CAUSING HER TO LAND ON HER STOMACH!

James Peters: Donovan deadlifts Mary up, AND HE ATTEMPTS A GERMAN SUPLEX BUT MARY IS ABLE TO LAND A BACK ELBOW TO STOP HIM! Donovan quickly grabs onto Mary once again and shoves her into the corner, BUT MARY RUNS UP THE TURNBUCKLES BEFORE FLIPPING OVER DONOVAN! MARY S. ATLAS NOW RUNNING THE ROPES, AND SHE DUCKS UNDER A LARIAT AS SHE BOUNCES OFF OF THE OTHER PAIR OF ROPES- AND MARY MAY HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR A HEADSCISSORS OF SOME SORTS BUT INSTEAD DONOVAN IS ABLE TO CONNECT WITH A TILT-A-WHIRL BACKBREAKER!

Persephone: I don’t know why Holly Arrow has that dumb grin on her face seeing Mary get beat up. She literally botched her betrayal just like Ronan Malosi, except Holly did it at the biggest show of the year. Holly might just go down as one of the worst wrestlers of all time JUST because of that. That’s besides the point though, because Donovan actually went for the cover and is about to end the match :drakelike:. 

ONE!

T-

Persephone: Nevermind. Mary actually managed to kick out of the backbreaker. I guess being short ugly and untalented is an Insurgency thing and not just a Jake Smith thing. 

James Peters: Mary S. Atlas is pulling herself back up to her feet, and now it’s Donovan Duke that gets Mary in a headlock! MARY IS ABLE TO SHOVE THE 24/7 CONTRACT HOLDER INTO THE CORNER THOUGH, AND NOW THERE’S A BOOT TO THE MIDSECTION! MARY S. ATLAS RUNNING THE ROPES BEFORE CHARGING BACK INTO THE CORNER, AND NOW THERE’S A RUNNING FOREARM! Mary now with a snapmare to take Donovan out of the corner, and-

*TAG!*

James Peters: 😐 And I probably should’ve expected this, but Jake Smith just tagged himself in. Jake now entering the ring, AND HE QUICKLY TAKES DONOVAN DOWN WITH A BOOT TO THE FACE BEFORE HE COULD RECOVER! Jake with a huge smirk on his face as he just puts his foot over Donovan, there’s no way he actually thinks this’ll get the job done, right?

Rich Russillo: Who knows? Jake was the leader of Insurgency! Some may say Donovan wouldn’t be where he is without him. This could definitely get the job done!

ONE!

T-

James Peters: :usure:

Rich Russillo: Okay… Donovan kicked out, but my point still stands. I know Jake has what it takes to take Donovan down. 

Persephone: Well he better do it quickly then. I’m already bored here. I just miss Rexy :mjcry:.

James Peters: Jake doesn’t look too happy to see Donovan kick out but I really don’t know what he was expecting there. Jake does get Donovan in a rear chinlock very quickly, but Donovan Duke isn’t the type of person to attempt that with and it looks like Jake is forced to learn that the hard way! Donovan just grabbed onto Jake’s leg and pulled it out from under him, AND NOW DONOVAN QUICKLY GETS UP BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO LOCK IN AN ANKLE LOCK ON JAKE, BUT JAKE IS ABLE TO KICK DONOVAN OFF OF HIM!

Rich Russillo: Both Elitists are back on their feet, AND JAKE IMMEDIATELY ATTEMPTS TO HIT DONOVAN WITH A SUPERKICK BUT DONOVAN AVOIDS IT WHILE SWEEPING JAKE’S OTHER LEG! Jake is caught in a seated position, AND DONOVAN TRIES TO HIT JAKE WITH A PENALTY KICK, BUT JAKE DUCKS UNDER IT BEFORE PULLING DONOVAN INTO A SCHOOL BOY ROLL UP, WHICH DONOVAN IS ABLE TO GET OUT OF BASICALLY IMMEDIATELY! Both men get back to their feet, AND DONOVAN HITS JAKE WITH A FOREARM!

Persephone: Yeah, but Jake responds with a forearm of his own. I’m kinda surprised Jake is even able to hit Donovan’s face. I get Donovan is only like 5’10 or something, but Jake’s a midget.

James Peters: Jake is taller than Donovan though… He’s six feet tall.

Persephone: You really believe that?

James Peters: Well…

Rich Russillo: Jake Smith now with a kick to the midsection, AND NOW HE LIFTS DONOVAN DUKE UP, LOOKING FOR EITHER A SUPLEX OR A BRAINBUSTER, BUT HE GETS NEITHER! DONOVAN DUKE SLIPS OUT OF JAKE’S GRASP BEFORE PULLING HIM INTO A BACKSLIDE PIN!

ONE!

T-

Persephone: And of course it doesn’t get the job done.

James Peters: Jake managed to kick out of the pin, and Donovan tried to grab onto Jake as he was getting up, BUT JAKE RAMS DONOVAN INTO THE CORNER! Holly tags herself in, but Jake has yet to notice! Jake looking to do something similar to what Mary S. Atlas did, likely looking to one up her as he backs away from the corner, BEFORE CHARGING TOWARDS DONOVAN DUKE! JAKE SMITH WITH A-

Rich Russillo: HEADBUTT BY DONOVAN! DONOVAN JUST HIT JAKE WITH A HEADBUTT, AND NOW HOLLY ARROW JUMPS INTO THE RING WITH A SPRINGBOARD BLOCKBUSTER TO JAKE! Holly Arrow is officially in this match, and she goes for the cover after taking Jake down with a huge blockbuster!

ONE!

TWO-

James Peters: JAKE KICKS OUT! Holly Arrow is back

to her feet, and these two have some history with each other over the past few weeks! Jake and Holly actually had a bit of a confrontation back at Pain for Pride, and now they’re actually sharing the ring with each other! Jake is slowly finding his way back up to his feet, AND NOW HOLLY GOES FOR MARY’S LEAST FAVORITE KICK, RIGHT IN FRONT OF MARY S. ATLAS- 

Rich Russillo: BUT IT DOESN’T CONNECT! JAKE SLIPS BEHIND HOLLY, AND NOW HE GRABS HER FROM BEHIND BEFORE GOING FOR THE STARMAKER- BUT HOLLY MANAGES TO PUSH JAKE OFF OF HER! Both Elitists begin to circle the ring as they don’t exactly get an upper hand against one another, AND HOLLY GOES FOR THE OFFENSIVE FIRST AS SHE CATCHES JAKE OFF GUARD WITH A KICK TO THE MIDSECTION! Holly Arrow is all over Jake right now, and things aren’t looking too good for the man who beat Tyler Parker at Pain for Pride!

Persephone: Why are we pretending that was some sort of achievement? Tyler Parker wrestles once every few years just to lose. Who cares?

James Peters: Jake is able to push Holly off of him with a knee to the midsection, AND NOW HE PUSHES HOLLY’S THROAT AGAINST THE ROPES! JAKE IS CHOKING HOLLY OUT USING THE ROPES, AND NOW THE REFEREE IS FORCED TO BEGIN THE COUNT!

Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIV-

James Peters: And Jake lets go, but not without pulling Holly into a snapmare, AND FOLLOWING IT UP WITH A SUPERKICK TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD!

Rich Russillo: Holly Arrow is holding the back of her neck as she slowly tries to get up to a knee, AND NOW JAKE RUNS THE ROPES AND GOES FOR A SHINING WIZARD- BUT HOLLY IS ABLE TO DUCK UNDER IT! BOTH ELITISTS QUICKLY GET BACK UP- BUT HOLLY QUICKLY CONNECTS WITH A SPINNING LEG LARIAT, DROPPING THE SECOND EVER TWO-TIME PURE CHAMPION IN HISTORY! Both Jake and Holly are down, and Holly’s trying to make it towards her corner to tag in Donovan Duke- BUT JAKE IS ABLE TO GRAB ONTO HER LEG AND STOP HER!

James Peters: Holly is able to kick Jake off of her, AND NOW HOLLY JUMPS UP TO TRY AND TAG IN DONOVAN- BUT JAKE JUMPS UP AND DROPS HOLLY WITH A BACKSTABBER JUST BEFORE SHE COULD MAKE THE TAG! Jake has a grin on his face knowing that Donovan Duke wasn’t able to make his way back into this match, and now Jake climbs on top of Holly before beginning to punch away at her! The crowd is booing Jake, but I’m sure they’re not all too mad seeing Jake do this to Holly after what Holly did at Pain for Pride!

Persephone: :mjlol:

Rich Russillo: Holly is able to push Jake off of her- AND JAKE JUST TRIED TO CHARGE BACK IN AS HOLLY ARROW GOT UP, BUT HOLLY TURNED AROUND AND CONNECTED WITH A BACK ELBOW OUT OF NOWHERE! HOLLY NOW, WITH MARY’S LEAST FAVORITE KICK!! THE SUPERKICK CONNECTS ON JAKE SMITH, AND NOW HOLLY DROPS DOWN FOR THE PIN, TO POSSIBLY PUT THIS MATCH AWAY!

ONE!

TWO!!

T-

Rich Russillo: JAKE POPS THE SHOULDER UP BEFORE THREE! Holly looks a bit frustrated to see Jake survive that superkick, but I don’t think she’s done yet!

James Peters: Holly Arrow backs up into the corner, and she’s waiting for Jake to get back to his feet! Jake is only just starting to come to his senses after that superkick, but getting up might not be the best idea right now! Holly is waiting for Jake to finally get back to his feet, and in just a matter of moments this match could be coming to an end! Jake is finally back up, AND NOW HOLLY ARROW CHARGES IN! HOLLY GOING FOR PANICLAND, AND IT CON- WAIT A SECOND! NO IT DOESN’T!

Rich Russillo: JAKE JUST HIT HOLLY WITH AN ENZUIGIRI, AND NOW HE FOLLOWS IT UP BY GRABBING HER IN A HEADLOCK! IN BLOOM! JAKE JUST HIT HOLLY WITH THE HEADLOCK DRIVER! JAKE QUICKLY PULLS HIMSELF OVER HOLLY ARROW, AND NOW THIS MATCH MIGHT REALLY BE OVER WITH!

ONE!

TWO!!

T-

Rich Russillo: NO!!! THIS TIME IT’S HOLLY ABLE TO GET THE SHOULDER UP! Jake doesn’t look happy at all to see Holly kick out, but it looks like he’s had enough of this match for now as he just tagged in Mary S. Atlas! Mary has likely been waiting for this for a while, and Holly Arrow has only just started to recover!

James Peters: MARY S. ATLAS CHARGES AT HOLLY, AND SHE BEGINS PUMMELING HER FORMER TAG TEAM PARTNER! MARY S. ATLAS IS ON TOP OF HOLLY, AND MARY’S JUST DESTROYING WHAT USED TO BE HER BEST FRIEND! Holly Arrow is temporarily able to get Mary off of her as she stumbles up to her feet, BUT MARY CHARGES IN BEFORE TAKING HOLLY DOWN WITH A CLOTHESLINE! HOLLY STARTS TO GET BACK UP, BUT MARY TAKES HER DOWN WITH ANOTHER CLOTHESLINE! HOLLY GETS UP AND STUMBLES INTO THE CORNER, AND MARY S. ATLAS NOW CHARGES IN-

Rich Russillo: AND HOLLY ARROW LIFTS MARY OVER HER AND UP ONTO THE TOP ROPE! Holly turns around- AND MARY JUMPS BACKWARDS, DELIVERING THE UNFRIEND FROM THE TOP ROPE! WHAT A MOVE BY MARY S. ATLAS, WHO HAS BEEN ON TOP OF HOLLY ARROW EVER SINCE SHE ENTERED THE RING!!!

Persephone: :wtf: Why won’t she pin her though?? This match could be over already and instead she’s wasting our time! I don’t know what part of this Mary doesn’t get, I DO NOT WANT TO SEE THIS MATCH!! HURRY UP AND FINISH IT ALREADY!

James Peters: Holly Arrow is using the turnbuckles to try and pull herself up, and Mary is backing up into the opposite corner! I think Mary wants to really make sure Holly is down for the count, and I can kinda see why she’d want to do as much damage as possible tonight! This is Mary’s first real chance to get her hands on Holly after everything Holly put her through these past couple of weeks! Holly Arrow is finally starting to get back to her feet, AND NOW THAT ALLOWS MARY S. ATLAS TO CHARGE IN ONCE AGAIN! MARY S. ATLAS WITH THE 9 MILES-

Rich Russillo: HEADBUTT!!! HOLLY JUST HIT MARY WITH A HUGE HEADBUTT, AND BOTH COMPETITORS DROP TO THE MAT! Holly Arrow is crawling towards her corner as Mary holds her forehead in pain, AND NOW HOLLY ARROW TAGS IN DONOVAN DUKE! That was Mary’s chance at getting some revenge, but now that’s gone as Donovan Duke is back in this match! Mary S. Atlas slowly gets back up, BUT DONOVAN DUKE QUICKLY CHARGES AT HER BEFORE DELIVERING AN OVERHEAD BELLY TO BELLY! Mary was sent nearly across the entire ring with that belly to belly suplex!

James Peters: Mary S. Atlas gets back up, AND SHE HITS DONOVAN WITH A FOREARM AS HE CHARGED IN, BUT HE FALLS BACK INTO THE ROPES BEFORE BOUNCING OFF OF THEM WITH A JUMPING CLOTHESLINE! Donovan Duke is on fire right now, AND NOW HE LIFTS MARY S. ATLAS UP BEFORE ATTEMPTING THE DRAWING DEAD-  NO! MARY MANAGES TO SLIP OUT OF IT, AND SHE TRIES TO LIFT DONOVAN UP FOR PERHAPS A GERMAN SUPLEX, BUT DONOVAN PULLS ON MARY’S ARM AND TAKES HER DOWN WITH AN ARM DRAG! Mary backing into the corner, AND NOW DONOVAN CHARGES IN BEFORE-

Rich Russillo: BEFORE RECEIVING A BOOT TO THE FACE FROM MARY! MARY NOW TAGGING IN JAKE SMITH AS DONOVAN STUMBLES BACK, AND NOW AS JAKE SEES AN OPENING HE CHARGES IN- BUT DONOVAN MANAGES TO PULL THE TOP ROPE DOWN AND SEND JAKE OVER IT! Jake Smith was just sent crashing out of the ring, and it looks like Donovan has an idea in mind as Jake slowly starts to find his way back up to his feet! DONOVAN DUKE QUICKLY RUNS THE ROPES AS JAKE JUST BARELY GETS BACK UP, AND NOW THERE’S A HUGE SUICIDE DIVE BY THE 24/7 CONTRACT HOLDER!

James Peters: Donovan sends Jake back into the ring before following behind, and it looks like Donovan Duke may be ending this match in just a few moments’ time! DRAWING DEAD!!!! DONOVAN DUKE ACTUALLY CONNECTS WITH DRAWING DEAD ON HIS OWN FORMER INSURGENCY PARTNER, AND NOW THIS MAY BE IT! DONOVAN DUKE GOES FOR THE COVER ON JAKE SMITH!!!

ONE!

TWO!!

THR-

James Peters: MARY S. ATLAS BREAKS IT UP!!! MARY HAD TO BREAK UP THE PIN ON MARY S. ATLAS- AND HOLLY ARROW JUST SHOVED MARY AS SOON AS SHE ENTERED THE RING!

Persephone: Those two are really starting to go back and forth. If they decided to kill each other already that’d make this a bit more interesting.

Rich Russillo: I can’t really make out what Holly is saying- BUT SHE JUST SLAPPED MARY IN THE FACE! AND NOW MARY S. ATLAS HAS HEARD ENOUGH! MARY NOW THROWING LEFTS AND RIGHTS AT HOLLY ARROW, BACKING HER UP INTO THE ROPES, AND NOW MARY RUNS THE ROPES BEFORE SENDING HOLLY OUTSIDE THE RING WITH A CLOTHESLINE! MARY S. ATLAS HAS HAD ENOUGH OF HOLLY’S DISRESPECT! MARY IS GETTING PAYBACK AFTER PAIN FOR PRIDE AND THE DRAFT!

James Peters: Mary S. Atlas just rolled out of the ring, AND HOLLY ARROW HITS MARY WITH A KICK TO THE STOMACH, BUT MARY RESPONDS WITH A FOREARM STRIKE TO HOLLY! These two women are going back and forth here, and Donovan Duke is looking at what’s going on because that’s his partner involved in this brawl! Things have quickly escalated between Mary and Holly, and- WAIT! WAIT A SECOND! OH MY GOD, WHAT DID MARY S. ATLAS JUST DO!?!? WHAT DID SHE JUST DO TO HOLLY ARROW!?

Rich Russillo: THE TWO WOMEN WERE GOING BACK AND FORTH, BUT MARY LIFTED HOLLY UP AND SENT THE BACK OF HER HEAD INTO THE CORNER OF THE STEPS! Mary doesn’t even give her much of a chance to try and recover, AS SHE QUICKLY CHARGES IN AND DELIVERS THE 9 MILES, PUSHING THE BACK OF HOLLY’S HEAD FURTHER INTO THE CORNER OF THE STEPS! Holly’s near lifeless body crumbles off of the steel steps, and blood is just pouring out from the back of her head!

Persephone: FINALLY, SOMETHING INTERESTING! It’s no Rex McAllister, but at least I get to see some blood :wow:. About time something spiced up this match.

James Peters: Donovan Duke can’t believe what just happened! Holly Arrow was his tag team partner for this match, and that right there definitely took her out of commission for tonight! Holly Arrow got what was coming to her for trying to betray Mary back at Pain for Pride and then doubling down on it, but we still have a match going on and there’s no way this is going to help Donovan’s chances-

Rich Russillo: WAIT, WAIT A SECOND! JAKE SMITH FROM BEHIND! JAKE JUST PULLED DONOVAN INTO A SCHOOL BOY ROLL UP, AND HE’S PUTTING ALL HIS WEIGHT DOWN ONTO DONOVAN! NOT LIKE THIS! 

ONE!

TWO!!

THREE!!!

(Ding! Ding! Ding!)

Bella Braxton: Here are your winners…. THE TEAM OF JAKE SMITH, AND MARY S. ATLAS!!!!!

(‘Stop Breathing’ hits, and Jake rolls out of the ring with a huge grin on his face as Donovan Duke gets back up to his feet. He can’t believe what just happened, but his face quickly switches from confusion to anger as the crowd begins to boo at Jake.)

James Peters: Jake stole it! Jake Smith stole the match! Donovan had the upper hand there, but Mary’s attack on Holly Arrow gave Jake enough time to recover and get Donovan from behind with a roll up!

Rich Russillo: I’m surprised the match ended like that, but I guess I can’t be too mad. Jake played it smart and did what he could to get himself the victory. Mary S. Atlas got some payback on Holly Arrow, all in all this was a good night for this team!

Persephone: And a horrible one for me. I miss Rexy.

(As Jake backs up the ramp, he points a finger to his head with a grin on his face as Donovan stares a hole in him, showing that he used his brain to win the match. Mary makes her way up to the ramp as well with a smile on her face, pleased with what she did to Holly Arrow as well as getting the victory. As Donovan Duke is left inside of the ring and the referee checks on the bleeding Holly Arrow, Voltage fades away from ringside.)

(Commercial for Marvel’s Black Widow, now in Theaters and on Disney+.)

(Voltage returns to a sight of the ring draped in a dark velvet carpet. A table with champagne glasses on it sits in the ring as a red carpet that’s stretched from the ramp to the ring is shown.)

Bella Braxton: LADIES AND GENTLEMAN, PLEASE WELCOME-

(‘The Only Thing They Fear Is YOU’ by Mick Gordon begins to play as Ryan Wilson, dressed in a dapper suit, New Breed title over his shoulder. Ryan brings a microphone out with him and begins to speak.)

Ryan Wilson: Thanks, Bella. I’ll take it from here. 

(Ahem.)

Ryan Wilson: YOUR NEW UNDISPUTED NEW BREED CHAMPION OF THE WORLD AND SHOWRUNNER OF EAW’S MOST IMPORTANT PROGRAM, THE RYAN WILSON SHOW, THE MAN HIMSELF, RYAN WILSONNNNNNNN!!!

(Fireworks and sparks begin to fire off and decorate Ryan’s entrance as he spin s around at the top of the stage. He walks to the ring with strobing lights and more pyro as he touches the ring.)

Rich Russillo: I think they invested all of tonight’s budget into this man’s one entrance! Sheesh!

(Ryan steps into the ring that’s also decorated with a hockey jersey, framed and bearing the number one with the Wilson name on it. Photos from Ryan’s win at Pain For Pride are also framed and Ryan begins to unveil something covered under a small tarp.)

James Peters: Is that a hockey stick? Well, we know this man is uber-passionate about hockey- 

Persephone: Annndddd there’s a hockey puck with Ronan Malosi’s ugly bald head on it. What in God’s name is he wasting my time for?

(Ronan places the puck on the ground and shoots it up the stage with a mighty swing of the hockey stick. He then laughs and takes a sip of the champagne. He places the New Breed title on the table, dusting it off with a handkerchief, then begins to speak.)

Ryan Wilson: I. TOLD. YOU SO.

(The crowd boos Ryan Wilson as he laughs and prances around the ring with the New Breed title on his shoulder.)

Ryan Wilson: You all hate reality. You love to believe that your favorite elitists will always be triumphant and that true, dedicated, hardworking talent who doesn’t just slide by with the support of you drones, won’t see the same success. Well, guess what? RYAN WILSON IS CHAMPION. Ryan Wilson is a champion and what I’ve been saying for months now has come to fruition. So, if you now can’t accept that you all were wrong, that’s fine. I couldn’t care less as to what you all thought of my chances of holding this title because now, now it’s mine. 

(Crowd quiets as Ryan holds his finger out and tells them to be silent.)

Ryan Wilson: Now, I know you wrote me off time and time again, but here I was this entire time, telling you over and over again to prepare yourselves for this moment. You were warned and chose not to heed my advice. Next time…be smarter. Though how much could I really have expected from any of you? You’ve tried to besmirch the name of my career on every occasion. And still through all of that, I won. I won the New Breed title. I now carry the crown and the lights are only shining on Ryan Wilson. 

Ryan Wilson: What’s even crazier is that none of your favorite elitists could have or would have preserved through what I have in order to reach their end goal at Pain For Pride. That’s true dedication and a reflection of just the kind of work ethic I have. The same work ethic that will ALWAYS prevail over Ronan Malosi in the long run. Chained Fury will always be mine and I’ll always own Ronan’s career.

(Crowd boos and chants “YOU SUCK! YOU SUCK! YOU SUCK!” towards Ryan.)

Ryan Wilson: I suck? I SUCK? No, I’m the New Breed Champion! I’m carrying the same crown that Andre Walker did for months and honestly, I’ll probably surpass what he did. It’s taken me so much longer to get here, I know every bit of the grind it takes to reach the throne, that’s why I always was the superior member of my team with that plague, Ronan Malosi. The guy who continues to waste every opportunity thrown his way because he’s too inept to see that his career was doomed to fail. Or maybe he’s too naive, either way..

(Ryan glances at his New Breed title.)

Ryan Wilson: He’s not championship material! 

(Crowd continues to give Ryan Wilson a negative reception, though some laughs are heard from the crowd.)

Ryan Wilson: He truly, truly is not. Never was and he failed to take advantage of the biggest opportunity of all when I told him that I’d fight beside him in EAW. He dropped the ball and then that just became the running theme of his career. That’s what defines him now, isn’t it? A disappointment. The guy who was supposed to finally have one single Pain For Pride moment that wasn’t a spectacular failure. Finally achieving what he was framed to have been capable of…and he failed. Miserably. He failed while I rose. Much like Lucas Johnson is tonight, Ronan walked into his own demise. He blindly attempted to compete with one of EAW’s best and now, one of the most important champions this company has. He paid for it. 

Ryan Wilson: He paid in blood. Last year, he paid in piss, this year, he paid in blood. Courtesy of The New Breed Champion, Le Roi du Strong Style Québécois, the best EAW knows, THE FUCKING RYAN WILSON SHOW! Say it with me; THE RYAN WILSON SHOW! THE RYAN WILSON SHOW! THE RYAN WILSON SHOW!

(Various chants ring throughout the arena for Ryan as the majority of people circulate boos. Ryan Wilson laughs and takes another sip of the champagne)

Ryan Wilson: Ah, oh well, I’ll have to settle for being the guy who squandered everyone else’s dreams at Pain For Pride, by claiming the moment for myself. Ronan’s back on Showdown, same place he’s always been, same place he’ll always be. The place that made him a loser and will continue to see a desolate career that will rot and wither, while mine prospers. Even at Territorial Invasion, it was Team Ryan that stood tall. Pain For Pride, Ryan Wilson stands tall. I closed every chapter with a bang and ended the story with a theme of dominance over Ronan. Book, end.

(Ryan smiles as nostalgically looks back on his season 14.)

Ryan Wilson: Even after my role as Showdown General Manager was stripped from me, I still managed to come back better than ever. When my peers all said that I was hiding from competition by being the change everyone actually needed, I took it on the chin and came back as a man on the road to being title ready. Losing that role is what propelled me to being this title’s orbit, so while the world doubted, I saw the light of opportunity. And boy, did I take advantage of it? I have no reason to doubt myself and I never did because I saw this coming. I saw this dream being manifested in reality and I was the only person who ever needed to.

Ryan Wilson: Fast forward, or backtrack, so to say, to even Battle of Egypt 2. I had an amazing performance in that match for the New Breed title, I was almost ready, just not quite there yet. But all was on track to coming to a head and it did so at Pain For Pride. I respect the reign Andre Walker had, but I can’t help but feel like when it came down to it, even if he had this title at Pain For Pride, I would’ve taken it from him. He left it vacant for bigger and better things, but it was coming home with me either way. I wasn’t allowing myself to leave empty handed, I made the promise to myself and fulfilled it. 

(Ryan Wilson looks at the canvas thoughtfully.)

Ryan Wilson: A season worth of work, a career worth of work, a lifetime’s worth of work. All for that one moment, but it’s only going to be going upwards from here, so if you weren’t prepared then, strapped yourselves in, the New Breed scene is going for a ride on the wild side!

(Crowd boos as Ryan laughs.)

Ryan Wilson: You know, you all are so quick to throw your scorn at me as if I’ve actually said or done something to garner it, but this scene is in good need of a refresher. Sure, Andre had a cool reign for the first three months, but then it became him squashing others like flies in about ten minutes in Free-Per-View. Occupying a spot that he was too big for. Denying the opportunity for others, with one great win in between. I plan on doing things differently. I plan on being a defending champion against competition who has actually shown EAW they deserve the opportunity to compete against Ryan Wilson. BUT…

(Ryan ponders and raises his eyebrows and begins to speak again.)

Ryan Wilson: The future also requires me to tackle the past. The past that is still SOMEHOW attached to the nipple of EAW, an infant who never grew up. Lucas Johnson, an old foe and somehow a present challenge. I’m going to beat you, Lucas. Not solely because I’m elite in terms of skills and talent, but I’m smarter than you. I always have been and I’ve managed to climb the mountain to championship gold in 2021. That’s not something you’ll ever say again. 

Ryan Wilson: I will be a better champion than you ever were and I’ll show tonight that Lucas Johnson’ time in EAW is ancient history. I’m the now, I’m the forever. Ryan Wilson’s season 15 is going to start out with a facile victory over Lucas Johnson, and then, oh boy, do I have an announcement for you all!

(Crowd cheers for the first time, though a mix of boos are heard throughout the crowd.)

Ryan Wilson: After speaking with Captain Charisma, we have decided that because Ryan Wilson is a fighting champion and the most active champion on this roster, Ryan Wilson will be defending the New Breed title for the first time at Bloodsport, 2021!!!!!

(Crowd cheers as Ryan shrugs and smirks at them.)

Ryan Wilson: Live from the Now Arena, Hoffman Estates, Illinois, on August 14th, Ryan Wilson will be defending the New Breed title against one worthy contender. I cannot wait to see who I’m facing and am eager to see the competition wake up and put their best foot forward for the first time in a good while! 

(Crowd sends a mixed reaction to Ryan, before he raises his title in the air.)

Ryan Wilson: Ladies and gentleman, your New Breed Champion, RYAN MOTHERFUCKING WILSON. 

(Pyro shoots off outside the ring and confetti rains down on Ryan, who dances in it and shows off his moves. Ryan Wilson poses in the middle of the ring, decorated with mementos of his greatest victory and raises his title in the air. He then blows a kiss to the camera and exits the ring with the New Breed title around his shoulder. The shot fades to commercial as Ryan is seen walking up the ramp.)

(Commercial for Lethal Consequences’ Frozen Bananas.)

(Voltage fades back to ringside, and Bella Braxton stands in the middle of the ring.)

Bella Braxton: The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!!

Crowd: ONE FALL!!

( ‘In My Bones’ by The Score plays over the PA system of the AT&T Center as Raven Roberts makes her way to the ring. )

Bella Braxton: Introducing first!  From Louisville, Kentucky! Weighing in at 137 pounds: RRRRRRRR-AVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN ROOOOOO-BEEEEEERTS!!!!

James Peters: Here comes our resident Bird of Prey! Looking ready and strong as ever! 

Persephone: I’m glad she lost at Pain for Pride! 

Rich Russillo: She had a hard battle against Andrea Valentine and Consuela Rose Ava during the show of shows! Surely she will look to get this season started the right way! 

( The lights dim to red as ‘Swallowing The Rabbit Whole’ begins. Shane walks out and sadistically smiles at the camera as he walks down to the ring. Once he climbs up to the apron all the lights dim to black but a spotlight that is fixated on Shane appears as Shane enters the ring and gives a menacing look to the camera and his opponent.

Bella Braxton: And Her Opponent! From … ! Weighing in at … : SHAAAAAANE GAAAAAAAAATES!!!! 

James Peters: In a similar situation to Raven, Shane will be wanting to do better than how he fared at Pain for Pride. 

Persephone: I can never get used to what he calls a smile. 

Rich Russillo: Participating in the 24/7 Battle Royal, Shane was eliminated by a surprisingly powerful german suplex by Lucas Johnson! This will be a good match! 

( Ding Ding Ding! ) 

James Peters: And here we go, this match-up officially is underway! Both opponents are studying each other inside of the ring. This is promising to be a good one coming from two who have been part of the EAW landscape for quite some time now! Shane goes for a lock-up and Raven goes in as well both clinching and straining to look to overpower or outmaneuver the other early in this bout that just began and is under the watchful eyes of the official.

Rich Russillo: Raven gains control with a headlock she seems to squeeze hard enough that Gates’ head could pop like a Champagne cork! Shanes into the ropes, pushes Raven off of him she goes to the opposite side and Gates goes down with a hard tackle! Gates looks up to Raven who smirks down on him as he gets up he goes to the ropes, she waits for him throwing a clothesline but he ducks low! Into the ropes and back to Raven taking her down with a tackle of his own! Now he smirks while she doesn’t!

James Peters: Raven gets to her feet as Gates just bounces off the ropes heading her way! Big clothesline! No! It misses! Raven ducked and goes for his back latching on to his back and goes down with a Codebreaker! Down goes Gates who holds onto his back wincing in pain as Raven clings up to the nearby ropes to pull herself up while Shane moves towards the center of the ring. Shane is nearly vertical stretching his back BUT HE GOES BACK DOWN THANKS TO A LOU THEZ PRESS BY A SERIES OF FURIOUS PUNCHES BY RAVEN! 

Rich Russillo: THE FANS IN ATTENDANCE ARE ENJOYING THIS AS SHE THROWS HER MIGHT AT GATES WHO TRIES TO BLOCK AS MUCH AS HE CAN!! After what seems like at least a dozen strikes Raven is letting out a battle cry which rouses the crowd who turns it all to boos quickly as Gates throws in a thumb to the eyes of the Bird of Prey who holds onto her face! She gets shoved off her opponent  as Gates gets up and throws a few punches at his blinded opponent. 

James Peters: Whip into the ropes by Shane who catches Raven on the bounce back and slams her down with a belly-to-belly suplex! Down goes both competitors with Raven taking the worse of it! Shane gets up quickly foul mouthing his opponent asking her to get her ass up so he can beat her upstanding! She slithers to his ankle trying to force him down with a kneebar but he quickly hurries to the ropes forcing her to let go of his leg that could have meant trouble for him had she been able to lock it in! 

Persephone: WOAH!! 

James Peters: PELEEEEEE KICK BY GATES ATOP OF RAVEN’S HEAD HE STRUCK WITH IT OUT OF NOWHERE!!! Raven is holding her head from the force of the kick and gates looks down at her with disdain for a second before picking her up and throws her into the ropes! She manages to duck the clothesline that he throws her way and she turns quickly forgoing her headache and throws a series of elbows to the face of Shane who backs himself into a corner! 

Rich Russillo: Raven on the offense with some kicks to the midsection of her opponent before an Irish Whip into the opposite corner, Raven charges but gets nailed by a quick clothesline out of the corner by Gates.  Raven gets up, closed fist punch by Gates which grants him a warning by the official. 

Persephone: He doesn’t seem to give a fuck.

James Peters: He moves Raven for a jackhammer-like suplex but she slips behind him and nails him with a DDT! THE DDT PLANTED SHANE’S HEAD INTO THE MAT! RAVEN WITH THE COVER! 

Referee: ONE! TW-

Rich Russillo: Shane Gates lifts the shoulder up and keeps this match alive! 

James Peters: Raven keeps on the pressure with a series of fists to the face of then whips Gates in a nearby corner. She throws him a few knife-edged chops before getting an overhead punch to the back it takes Shane to a knee and then a double axe handle gets him rolling to the floor. Raven picks him up, whips him into the ropes, she telegraphs the move leaning forward too quickly and it gets her a face full of knees! Gates picks her up by the hair shoving her to a corner, and throws mud stomping kicks at her! Gates picks her up by the hair shoving her to a corner and throws mud-stomping kicks at her! 

Rich Russillo: Kicks then fists throwing punches alternating with kicks then fists Raven is down on her butt the official tries to get Gate off of her but he gets bullied by Gates it gets him off Raven. Gates throws flak at the office before making his way to Raven who throws in a kick to his midsection but he gets her back to the corner with a knee to the gut! A handful of hair again as he moves to the ring with her then throws her in an Irish whip. She ducks the incoming clothesline and bounces off the ropes! HIGH KNEE BY GATES TO RAVEN WHO GOES DOWN!! Gates with the cover! 

Referee: ONE!! 

Rich Russillo: She kicks out! Raven is not out of this yet.

Persephone: It unfortunately will take more than that to take down that bitch for three seconds. 

James Peters: It never crossed your mind that Raven might do something about that if she hears you talk Persephone? Japanese arm drag by Shane Gates taking Raven down but she gets up! She gets clipped by a knee slam to the face it takes her down! This match is beginning to turn to Gates’ advantage having some decent offense going at the moment. He picks her up, she is stumbling on her feet he takes her down with a dropkick before following with a running senton and another cover! 

Referee: ONE!! 

Rich Russillo: She kicks out once more.

Persephone: Fuck! 

James Peters: Gates mounts Raven into a MMA ground position throwing elbows at her striking hard before moving up and forcing her up with him, Irish whips into a corner the back of Raven hits hard making her stumble forward Gates is going for a superkick but Raven sidesteps she ends up behind him she clocks him on the back of the head with a dropkick he goes face-first against the turnbuckle. He slowly turns, stumbling forward AND SHE GRABS A HOLD OF HIM! T-BOOOOOOONE SUPLEX AND RAVEN SEND SHANE FLYING TO THE CENTER OF THE RING! 

Rich Russillo: Shane gets up, he is rattled and he stumbles back and forth. He almost looks like a Mortal Kombat character about to get a fatality!

Persephone: I love those!

James Peters: The Facelift by Raven! FACELIFT BY THE BIRD OF PREY! The Spinning Heel Kick Square On The Button! Gates goes down! He goes down hard!! Roberts isn’t done, she looks to the ropes running to them leaping! Feet on the middle ropes she FLIPS WITH A Lionsault! Gracefully and perfectly executed! SHE LANDS ON GATES! SHE GOES FOR THE COVER!! 

Referee: ONE! TW-

James Peters: Shane Kicked Out! It will take more to keep him down, Raven knows she was sending a message to the man as she gets off of him as she gets up and yells at him to get to his feet. He does so slowly, shaking the cobwebs out and looking at her with renewed focus. He leaps forth, they clinch and Raven takes him down with a judo-style throw! Gates gets up quickly but he goes down right back just as fast with another throw! It doesn’t deter him! He goes up, lunges at Raven who once more takes him down this time with a harder-looking judo-style slam! 

Rich Russillo: This one seems to hurt Shane more as he takes a bit more time to move to a vertical base he is daring Raven to strike at him again! She smirks as she moves forward she pounces at him BUT he ducks to the left! He is behind her! Hug of the waist and THROWS HER OVER HIS HEAD WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX! She Lands On The High of Her back clutching at her neck quickly as Shane gets up and smiles but Raven goes back to her feet as well she grunts glaring at him before throwing herself his way! He tries to dodge, she saw it coming! A ROLL-UP!! 

Referee: ONE! 

Persephone: Pff! C’mon!!

Rich Russillo: Shane kicks out and quickly moves back up!

James Peters: He looks a bit irritated to have been made a bit of a fool this way as he goes at her throwing in a quick big boot but she crouches just a little! His lifted leg is on her shoulder now! She h- WHAT? EXPLODER SUPLEX!!! Shane is thrown like a Ragdoll behind Raven who quickly gets back up and clips Shane with a clothesline as he tries to do the same! He backs himself into the nearby corner trying to stand and Raven assaults him with a flurry of muay Thai kicks and strikes she is stomping an MMA inspired mudhole in his ass and walking dry folks she is doing so with rage and fury and Shane can only take it while she dishes it!

Rich Russillo: The official orders her to get away from the man and she obliges to let him get up as she has the most arrogant and confident smile on her face she knows she is in control and wants Shane to know it. On his end Gates spits to the outside of the ring wiping his mouth glaring defiantly at Raven as he stands up trying to recover quickly in front of his opponent who is giving him the Just Bring It gesture! The two of them lock horns once more! Shane gets the advantage goes for a headlock before running his knuckles harshly in the hair of Raven that must burn like any way he throws her into the ropes she holds onto them which seems to annoy Shane who dashes her way BUT RAVEN HANGS LOW AND GATES STUMBLES OUTSIDE OF THE RING!! 

James Peters: He fell all wrong this must’ve hurt and Raven smiles seeing how she managed to get him to go out of the ring she then moves to the apron to the outside she looks down on Shane who is on his knees now SHE JUMPS OFF THE MIDDLE ROPE! HIGHER ELEVATION AND NAILS SHANE WITH A SPRINGBOARD SPIKE HURRICANRANAAAA!! WOAH THAT ACTUALLY THREW GATES AGAINST THE NEARBY BARRICADES SO MUCH THERE WAS FORCE INTO IT!! The crowd is cheering they enjoy what they see unfold before them and obviously want some more! Raven moves to stomp Shane in the chest with a few kicks before moving back she measures him, runs back, AND RUNS A KNEE TO HIS FACE AND AGAINST THE RAILING! CHRIST!

Rich Russillo: She wants to crush his skull or what? NO! Shane Ducked It! He grabs at her waist and pushes himself forward ANd RAMS RAVEN AGAINST THE RING APRON! HE GOES FOR IT AGAIN! AND A THIRD TIME!! He lets go of her GAWD what a counter as Raven goes to her knees holding her back her face in obvious pain before getting punched by Shane who tries to get some momentum going! The official meanwhile has started the count but again Shane doesn’t seem to be bothered with officials tonight! He picks Raven up, whips her AGAINST A POST! She goes down, and Shane looks pleased!

Persephone: SO DO I! Maybe if he damages her face enough Rexy will love her less.

James Peters: Back to the action and not Persephone’s love life Shane looks to be enjoying the damage done after that last strike into the ring post for a few more seconds, he taunts Raven asking her if she’s okay, and slaps her to the back of the head as she is crawling trying to recover. She throws a backward boot at Shane, it strikes him in the gut he backs off which allows her to get to her feet but she gets a kick to the gut back for her trouble! Shane gets her head between his legs. 

Rich Russillo Oh no is he going to go for the Heartless Demise outside of the ring?? The Muscle Buster on the outside mat??? He lifts her up! SHE MOVES OUT OF IT IN MID-AIR! SHE GRABS HIS HEAD AND DRIVES HIM DOWN WITH A D…D…T!!!!!!! SHANE GETS PLANTED AND THE CROWD ROARS THEY DIDN’T EXPECT THAT TO HAPPEN, and neither did we!! 

James Peters: The official is still counting though and Raven hearing him quickly gets inside the ring! She looks to the opposite ropes. She gets running she bounces back, meanwhile, Shane is getting u-THE FLIGHT DESTROYEERRRRRRRRRR!!! RAVEN JUST SUICIDE DOVE HERSELF AT SHANE AND ENDED HER SORTIE WITH THE CANADIAN DESTROYED!! OH MY GOD WHAT A MOVE BY RAVEN!!!

Fans: HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!

Persephone: Shane might not be able to get up after this!

Rich Russillo: He will have to if he wants a shot at winning! 

James Peters: The official is resetting his count now both opponents are on their back looking up at the ceiling of AT&T Center in beautiful San Antonio, Texas the local crowd is pleased with the action especially the last bit that Canadian Destroyed by Raven from inside of the ring what a way for her to start off Season 15 clearly this should be part of the week’s highlight reel! Shane looks to be out cold as Raven is slowly getting back up to her feet under the cheers of the crowd here in San Antonio’s AT&T Center! 

Rich Russillo: Raven now to her feet grabs a hold of Shane wanting to drag him into the ring not wanting to risk having him counted out seems to be like the Bird of Prey wants this win to be without a doubt and this is one way to do it! Both of them are inside the ropes now and RAVEN GOES FOR A GUILLOTINE CHOKE! SHE IS AIMING TO MAKE GATES PASS OUT BUT WAIT! HE USES HIS SIZE TO FLIP HER OVER HIS HEAD AND INTO A PINNING PREDICAMENT! 

Referee: One! Tw-

Persephone: Fuck! That was a smart play from that psycho!

James Peters: And Raven with the shoulder up as she legs to of Shane to free herself even she didn’t see it coming as both of them are getting up to their feet! Shane out of desperation throws a big boot to Raven who was dashing at him the boot smacked against her jaw she backs off into the ropes but moves forward to Shane WHO CALLS FOR THE RECKONING! THE IRON CLAW CHOKESLAM!! RAVEN GETS LIFTED UP BUT SHE THROWS A FEW KNEES TO THE SIDE OF GATES WHO LET GO OF HER! With haste, she moves to the ropes behind Gates!

Rich Russillo: TILT-A-WHIRL STUNNNNNNNNERRR!!!

Persephone: Damn it now that bitch is gonna go and win!!! 

James Peters: She needs to make good on that move she calls the Beak Breaker if she wants to have the W tonight! She is crouched into a corner, waiting for Shane to get up she screams at him to get up daring him! Will we see The Talon connect?? She Runs! She THROWS THE LEG! TALOOOOOOOOOOOON!!!! THIS SHOULD BE IT!!

ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

( DING! DING!! DING!!! ) 


Bella Braxton: The winner of this bout: RA-VEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-N RO-BERRRRTTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

James Peters: What a way to kick off Season 15 for the Bird of Prey than with the Talon to sign her first victory of the season! 

Persephone: I’d kick her if it allowed me to be with my Rexy.

Rich Russillo: Congratulations on a fight that perhaps will set the tone for Raven this season! Shane Gates went out there swinging but it wasn’t enough. Knowing the man this one loss is not the end of the world. It was a great match all around.

( ‘In My Bones’ by The Score plays over the PA system of the AT&T Center as Raven Roberts gets her hand raised in victory by the official. As Raven continues to celebrate her victory, Shane Gates is still laid out inside of the ring. From there, Voltage fades away from ringside. )

(The scene opens backstage with Captain Charisma looking like he is waiting on someone. He seems to be talking to himself and trying to reassure himself that one of the rookies he selected in the draft was a great choice.)

Captain Charisma: Man I told him to be here by now so I can introduce Voltage our newest talent. He’s probably just nervous right now. I can assure you though that he is someone that the fans will like quickly. Wait I think this is him right here everyone. 

(Suddenly a figure comes into the camera who seems to be shocked about everything, like a kid in a toy store he’s just in awe of everything around him. The figure turns out to be Voltage’s newest accusation Danny Tanner!)

Captain Charisma: EAW Universe, I welcome you Voltage’s newest accusation Danny Tanner! 

Danny Tanner: I-I-I can’t believe I’m finally here, it’s like a dream come true! The greatest thing that’s ever happened to me! I’m so thankful for this opportunity. I don’t know how to thank you or what to say I just… I just…

(Danny Tanner can’t help himself as a song comes to his mind. It’s something he’s fapped to before while looking at Hikari Kanno’s pictures.)

Danny Tanner: A moment like this :singing: some people wait a lifetime, for a moment like this :singing: SOME PEOPLE SEARCH FOREVER FOR THAT ONE SPECIAL KISS :singing: !!!

Captain Charisma: :comeagain: 

Danny Tanner: I apologize I just can’t believe it, my mom is going to be so proud! Sarasota is going to be proud! I might even start to gain attention from women! I might lose it finally, I’m just so excited. Thank you Mr.Captain Charisma for giving me such an opportunity. I really can’t thank you enough to put me in a position to be a big time elitist.

Captain Charisma: Wait lose what exactly? 

Danny Tanner: (While sort of scratching his neck) You know man… IT! Are you not picking up what I’m putting down man? The thing you can only lose once man, you know when the birds and the bees… You know. 

Captain Charisma: I’m afraid not Danny you might have to be more specific.

Danny Tanner: Okay, I know Voltage is a child friendly show so I’m going to spell it out for you. I mean I might actually lose my V-I-R-G-I-N-I-T-Y. See I’m not exactly all great in the women’s department but I know being ln Voltage and being a rising star will help me gain more attention, I’ll finally be able to fulfill my life long goal… Of becoming famous of course! I mean isn’t this how you lose yours Mr.Captain Charisma? By becoming a big time elitist? Or were you one of the lucky ones who didn’t have to rely on fame and fortune :mjcry: ? 

Captain Charisma: Wait you’re a virgin still :comeagain: 

Danny Tanner: 😐 you weren’t supposed to say it out loud.

Captain Charisma: Oh sorry, but let’s get past this and tell the EAW universe something about yourself and what makes you different from everyone else in this company. Other than being a virgin of course :mjgrin: 

Danny Tanner: Well obviously I’m not like others here. I’m not very confident and I’m a pretty awkward guy. However I look to make a name for myself and gain some fans and get my name out there more! I want the attention of everyone, I want to step in the ring with the best we have to offer! I want to get in the ring with the likes of Ms.Extreme, Candice Blair, Minerva, Raven Roberts, Miku and of course the wonderful Hikari 😍😍😍.  There’s so many things I wanna do on Voltage. I made my mom proud by even coming this far. I don’t wanna stop here. I know I can do bigger and better! I want to be the very best, the best there ever was, to compete in the ring is my real test, to win is my cause :singing: !! I’m going to be on television a lot more and we gets tons of viewer which means tons of woman will see me compete and maybe want to give me a chance just like you did Mr.Captain Charisma. 

Captain Charisma: Did you just recite the theme song for Pokémon? Anyways I’m sure you can accomplish whatever is you want as long as you stay focused and stay on course. If you do start getting the attention of women remember that’s not the main goal there is more to it Danny. Wins! Championships! You can gain a lot from being an EAW Elitist; sponsors… all of that. Danny, I picked you for a reason. I see some untapped potential in you that I know you can unlock in a good amount of time. I know women can often be distracting but you can’t let that be you, you’re in the big leagues now kid and you have to act like it! Do not let them get you off course, do you understand?  

(As Captain Charisma is speaking Danny suddenly zones out of anything obviously not understanding anything Captain Charisma just said. Captain Charisma realizes Danny is no longer paying attention and turns around to see what exactly he does have his attention on and it’s none other than Hikari Hanno) 

Captain Charisma: Oh, Hello Hikari! How are we this evening? Looking forward to your big match still? 

(Danny who is still beside himself and looks as if he’s ready to freak out can’t believe who he’s in front of, his queen! The woman he simps for most. Hikari doesn’t even acknowledge Captain Charisma; she does see Danny though her lips curve into a small smile as she says.)

Hikari Kanno: Hey simp.

(Hikari walks away and Danny is literally freaking out, making twitching type movements from his legs all the way up to his eyes doing some weird movements. He can’t believe what just happened! His Queen just acknowledged him even if it was just a quick hi. He just pictured they’re whole life together and it’s probably the best thing that’s happened to him, topping being selected by Voltage. Immediately you can see he’s in a rush to go somewhere.) 

Danny Tanner: Um…Um-I have to go to the bathroom, is that it Mr. Captain Charisma? 

Captain Charisma: :dahell:  I mean I was just gonna show you arou-

(Before Captain Charisma can finish what he’s going to say, Danny rushes off. He’s hurrying down the hall but before he can make the turn to the bathroom, he bumps into none other than Shane Gates who is obviously upset due to him losing to Raven Roberts just moments ago. He glares at Danny, who is quick to stumble out an apology.)

Danny Tanner: Oh sorry Mr. Jackson Blayde! I was just rushing to the bathroom! I-I have to go do something!

(Shane, who is already irritated, gets more annoyed by being called Jackson Blayde. He grabs Danny by his collar.)

Danny Tanner: :whoa: Hey! The only person that can grip me up like this is Hikari, now get off of me! I told you it was an accident, man! I didn’t mean no harm, I just really gotta get to the bathroom and handle something!

Shane Gates: Listen here you fuck, I’m already pissed off I don’t need you or your “Funny” jokes making it worse. I am Shane Gates, get it right!

Danny Tanner: Oh sorry I’ve never heard of you I could’ve sworn you were Jackson Blayde! He was the GOAT!

Shane Gates: I am Shane Gates, one of the most talented wrestlers this company has to offer, how do you know some scum like Jackson Blayde, but not a top fucking Elitist you idiot?! I never get the respect I deserve around here and I’m going to make sure that changes even if I have to make an example out of our newest Elitist! You will learn to respect me.

Danny Tanner: I’m sorry man! You guys just look so much alike. Just let me go, please I still have to handle something in the bathroom before it’s too late! Please I really didn’t mean it, it was an honest mistake man please, I really thought you were Mr. Blayde!

Shane Gates: You fucking idiot, I look nothing like him nor am I anything like him! I told you don’t piss me off yet you continue to do it. You stupid newcomer. It’s a shame this is how you have to be welcomed to Voltage but I told you to stop! This is supposed to be my breakout season and it’s already off to a bad start and I don’t wanna deal with some rookie making my night any worse than it already is.

(Shane Gates flings Danny Tanner into a bunch of equipment and brushes himself off, as Danny is just laid out in all the equipment still trying to figure out what just happened. However, showing resilience and a ton of heart, you see him trying to crawl and drag himself to the bathroom still content to do whatever it is he has to do in there. Shane Gates glares at Danny and just watches Danny crawl away in shame before the camera fades.) 

(Voltage returns to a shot of Bella Braxton inside the ring.)


Bella Braxton: LADIES AND GENTLEMAN, THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS A SINGLES MATCH AND IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL! 

(Crowd repeats: ONE FALL!)

(‘Ready To Die’ by The Notorious B.I.G. begins to sound as Lucas Johnson walks out onto the Voltage stage. A big snarl on his face, he’s arriving with nothing but malice on his mind for this one.)

Bella Braxton: INTRODUCING FIRST, WRESTLING OUT OF LONG ISLAND, NEW YORKKKK!!! WEIGHING IN AT 210 POUNNNDSSS, LUCASSSS ‘THE BEST KEPT SECRET’ JOHNSONNNNNNNN!!!

(Crowd boos as Lucas Johnson carelessly gazes at them and walks through the chorus unfazed.)

Rich Russillo: You know, this a man who had a less than availing end to his season and he’s promised to turn everything around and make tonight the first big statement in the storied season 15 of Lucas Johnson. What better way to gain momentum than over the man who just won the New Breed title, Ryan Wilson? 

James Peters: Agreed, I mean, if there’s one match in particular that yields opportunity like no other it’s when you’re given the stage to perform against a champion. Title or not,  this match is huge for Lucas Johnson and a win here puts him on EXACTLY the right track he needs to be on to get back on the horse of his career and move in the right direction. 

(Lucas Johnson rolls into the ring and taunts the crowd before the lights suddenly dim and a singular gold spotlight focuses on the stage. ‘The Only Thing They Fear Is YOU’ by Mick Gordon begins to play as the ring crew roll out a red carpet onto the stage. Ryan Wilson walks out with his New Breed title raised high in the air and smiling big.)

Bella Braxton: AND HIS OPPONENT, WEIGHING IN AT 220 POUNNDSSS!! WRESTLING OUT OF MONTREAL QUEBEC, CANADAAAAAA!!! HE IS THE EAW NEW BREED CHAMPION, RYANNNNNNN ‘THE KING OF QUEBEC STRONG STYLEEEE’ WILSONNNNNNNNN!!!!

(Crowd boo as Ryan Wilson has strobelights and one massive spotlight accompany him to the ring. His New Breed title high in the air the whole time.)

James Peters: If you couldn’t tell, he’s proud of his first title win in EAW.

Persephone: Rex probably won that shit and vacated on his first night. Soft ass Ryan Wilson, he’s celebrating something that should mean nothing to his old grizzled ass. 

Rich Russillo: Well, either way, he is a champion and now he’s looking to be the most active champion EAW has. That all starts tonight with a big win over Lucas Johnson. A competitive and hungry Lucas Johnson. But as we’ve seen recently, Ryan has all the momentum on his side and won’t go out until he’s made good on showing EAW the type of champion he is. A fighting one. 

(Ryan Wilson rolls into the ring and kisses the New Breed title before readying himself for the match.)

(DING! DING! DING!)

James Peters: And now, ladies and gentlemen, this match is officially underway! We got the New Breed champion Ryan Wilson battling Lucas Johnson, who now has Ryan Wilson in a headlock.

Rich Russillo: But Ryan flips him over his shoulder! Lucas Johnson gets right back up with a clothesline right to the head of Ryan! Ryan Wilson is down, and now Lucas pins Ryan!

Referee: ONE!

James Peters: Ryan Wilson with a quick kick out. Not even close, and obviously not enough neither-

Rich Russillo: AND NOW LUCAS STOMPING THE HELL OUT OF RYAN’S CHEST! AND THE CROWD IS BOOING LOUDER AFTER EVERY STOMP CONNECTING TO THE CHEST OF RYAN WILSON!

James Peters: BUT NOW RYAN GRABS THE FOOT OF LUCAS JOHNSON, AS HE GETS UP HOLDING IT! AND NOW LUCAS TRIES TO HIT THE ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO THE SKULL OF RYAN WIL-

Rich Russillo: RYAN WITH THE COUNTER!! HE CATCHES THE OTHER LEG OF LUCAS JOHNSON, AND NAILS HIM WITH THE POWERBOMB! THE POWERBOMB SLAMMING LUCAS’ BODY RIGHT ON THE MAT! RYAN WILSON WITH THE COVER! HE HOOKS THE LEG!

Referee: ONE! TW-

James Peters: The kick out by Lucas Johnson! This will quite obviously not be able to put him away, it seems. Ryan Wilson gets off the former New Breed Champion’s body, he gets up then backs away from Lucas Johnson, thinking what to do, BUT ALL OF A SUDDEN HE DROPS HIS ELBOW ON THE CHEST OF LUCAS JOHNSON! THE POINTED ELBOW DROP!! 

Persephone: Can he unlike what he always does, do something strong to end this boring shit already?

Rich Russillo: Well this match doesn’t seem to end soon anyway, AS NOW RYAN IS PICKING UP LUCAS JOHNSON TO HIS FEET AND DRIVES HIM THROUGH THE TURNBUCKLE! HE THROWS LUCAS JOHNSON’S HEAD RIGHT ON THE TURNBUCKLE-

James Peters: BUT LUCAS COUNTERS, DRIVING RYAN WILSON HIMSELF THROUGH THE TURNBUCKLE! HE JUST SLAMMED THE HEAD OF THE NEW BREED CHAMPION ON THE TURNBUCKLE! 

Rich Russillo: RYAN WILSON SEEMS TO BE QUITE HURT AT THE MOMENT! BUT THE WRESTLING MACHINE WASTES NO TIME, GRABBING RYAN WILSON WHO WAS LEANING ON THE CORNER HOLDING HIS HEAD, AND GETS HIM IN THE WAIST LOCK, DROPPING HIM HIM BACKWARDS AFTER LIFTING HIM WITH A POWERFUL GERMAN SUPLEX!

James Peters: AND THE FORMER BREED CHAMPION IS NOT DONE! HE FLIPS BACKWARDS HOLDING RYAN WILSON IN THE SAME POSITION OF THE WAIST LOCK, AS HE LIFTS HIM ONCE AGAIN, AND NAILS HIM WITH ANOTHER ONE! ANOTHER GERMAN SUPLEX CONNECTS TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD OF RYAN WILSON! AND HE STILL HAS HIM IN THE SAME POSITION, BUT THIS TIME FOR THE PIN! THIS MIGHT BE IT!!

Referee: ONEEEEEEE! TWWWOOOOOO!!

Rich Russillo: AND RYAN WILSON GETS HIS SHOULDER UP! IT WILL ACTUALLY TAKE MORE THAN THAT TO KNOCK THE NEW BREED CHAMPION THE HELL OUT, ESPECIALLY KNOWING HE LOOKS TO BOUNCE BACK AFTER LOSING THE CHAMPIONS SHOWCASE MATCH AGAINST THE INTERWIRE CHAMPION BRONSON DANIELS AND THE HARDCORE CHAMPION ADAM LUCAS AT THE EAW DRAFT!

James Peters: That’s true, and now Lucas Johnson thinks for a while about what to do to pin or submit the New Breed champion, and then stares down at Ryan Wilson, having a smirk on his face. We don’t know what is going on in his mind at the moment. 

Rich Russillo: BUT HE ALREADY THOUGHT ABOUT WHAT TO DO, AS HE HITS THE MIDSECTION OF RYAN WILSON IMMEDIATELY WITH THE STANDING SHOOTING STAR PRESS! THE SHOOTING STAR PRESS CONNECTS WITH THE MIDSECTION OF THE NEW BREED CHAMPION! AND NOW LUCAS JOHNSON WITH ANOTHER COVER!!

Referee: ONEEEEEEE! TWWWOOOOOOO!! TH-

James Peters: BUT RYAN WILSON STAYS ALIVE, AS HE KEEPS THE MATCH GOING ON! HE JUST KICKED OUT! HE GOT THE SHOULDER UP! LUCAS JOHNSON SEEMS TO BE A LITTLE BIT SHOCKED, BUT THE MATCH IS STILL GOING ON!

Persephone: JUST END THIS MATCH!

Rich Russillo: I don’t think either of them is gonna allow the other to end it for now at least, but Lucas Johnson gets on the top of Ryan Wilson’s body, AND STARTS HITTING HIM WITH THE PUNCHES TO THE JAW! THE WRESTLING MACHINE’S FISTS CONNECT TO THE JAW OF RYAN WILSON! WHO LOOKS HELPLESS RIGHT NOW!

James Peters: BUT NOW RYAN GRABS THE HAND OF LUCAS JOHNSON, HEADBUTTING HIS FOREHEAD, GAINING FULL CONTROL ON THE ARM OF LUCAS JOHNSON, AND HE BENDS IT!!!! RYAN WILSON JUST BENDED THE ARM OF LUCAS JOHNSON, THROWING HIS BODY OFF HIMSELF!

Rich Russillo: Ryan Wilson grabs the second rope, helping himself to get back up to his feet, as he is now standing with a bit of help from the top rope. And then he leans his back on the corner, giving himself a chance to catch his breath!

James Peters: While on the other hand, Lucas Johnson is finally back up to his feet, leaning on the corner that is opposite to the one Ryan Wilson is leaning on. But Ryan Wilson look at Lucas Johnson, starting to charge! It looks like the New Breed champion is setting up something, AND WITH THE HELLUVA KICK!!! THE HELLUVA KICK SUDDENLY GOES THROUGH THE SKULL OF LUCAS JOHNSON! THE WRESTLING MACHINE WAS NOT EXPECTING THAT! HE FALLS! LUCAS JOHNSON IS DOWN!

Rich Russillo: BUT HE ROLLS OUT OF THE RING, NOT ALLOWING RYAN WILSON WHO JUST GOT HIS LEG OFF THE TOP TURNBUCKLE TO TAKE ANY ADVANTAGE! 

Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE!

James Peters: Ryan Wilson has a quite angry expression on his face, not really happy with what just happened. And on the other hand, we got Lucas Johnson holding the barricade, as he tries to use it to get back up on his feet, which he finally does-

Rich Russillo: AND THE NEW BREED CHAMPION WASTES NO TIME, AS HE RUNS OFF THE ROPES, REBOUNDING, AND WITH THE SUICIDE DIVE! THE SUICIDE DIVE TO LUCAS JOHNSON CONNECTS, CONVERTING IT INTO A TORNADO DDT!! THE TORNADO DDT BY THE NEW BREED CHAMPION SMASHING THE HEAD OF THE WRESTLING MACHINE ON THE FLOOR! BOTH MEN ARE DOWN!

Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR!

James Peters: Both men are doing everything they can to pick up the win, but which one is gonna actually do that? Is it going to be Ryan Wilson who is now trying to use the barricade to get back up to his feet, or is it going to be Lucas Johnson who is now down holding his head, which is apparently hurt?

Referee: FIVE! SIX! SEVEN!

Rich Russillo: And Ryan Wilson FINALLY makes it back to his feet, as he picks the former New Breed champion from the ground, then throws him back inside the ring!

Referee: EIGHT!!

James Peters: Now the count is only on the New Breed champion, who looks really hurt leaning on the barricade trying to catch his breath for a second. Will he be able to get back in the ring before the referee counts the last count, or will he allow Lucas Johnson to pick up the simple win by count-out?

Persephone: I hope he slips and twists his ankle so he wouldn’t be able to do so, ending this shit now.

Referee: NINE!!!! TE-

Rich Russillo: BUT RYAN WILSON MAKES IT BACK TO THE RING **IN THE LAST SECOND!!** HE KEEPS THE MATCH GOING, AS HE IS OBVIOUSLY NOT READY TO END IT YET!

James Peters: BOTH MEN ARE DOWN, BUT LUCAS JOHNSON FROM OUT OF NOWHERE WITH A ROLL-UP! THE ROLL-UP FROM THE WRESTLING MACHINE!! WILL THIS BE HOW IT’S GOING TO END!?

Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! TWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! THR-

Rich Russillo: BUT RYAN WILSON KICKS OUT!! THE NEW BREED CHAMPION STAYS ALIVE! HE ESCAPES THE ROLL-UP, TRANSITIONING IT INTO A ROLL-UP OF HIS OWN! THE ROLL-UP TO LUCAS JOHNSON!!

Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! TWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! THRE-

James Peters: LUCAS JOHNSON ESCAPES FROM IT!! HE KEEPS THE MATCH GOING!! EITHER MEN ARE OBVIOUSLY NOT GOING TO MAKE IT EASY FOR THE OTHER TO WIN THIS TONIGHT!!!

Persephone: :comeagain:

Rich Russillo: BOTH COMPETITIONS GET RIGHT BACK UP TO THEIR FEET, LOOKING AT EACH OTHER! But Ryan Wilson suddenly runs at Lucas Johnson, attempting a clothesline! But the Wrestling Machine manages to duck, going behind the New Breed champion, AND NAILS HIM WITH THE GERMAN SUPLEX-

James Peters: BUT RYAN WILSON LANDS IT!! HE ESCAPES FROM IT AS HE IS NOW STANDING BEHIND THE FORMER NEW BREED CHAMPION, AND HE HITS THE BACK SUPLEX!! LUCAS JOHNSON IS DOWN, as Ryan Wilson gets up, having a grin on his face.

Rich Russillo: The New Breed champion looks unsatisfied here at this point, as he grabs Lucas Johnson who is getting up with the help off the second rope, and with the Arm Drag!

James Peters: It connects! Lucas Johnson gets right back up from the impact, running at Ryan Wilson, but Ryan Wilson with another Arm Drag! Lucas Johnson falls once again, as he gets back up from the impact of the move once again as well, running at Ryan Wilson again BUT THE NEW BREED CHAMPION NAILS THE WRESTLING MACHINE WITH A THIRD ARM DRAG! LUCAS JOHNSON IS DOWN, AS RYAN WILSON HOOKS THE LEG GOING FOR THE COVER AGAIN!

Referee: ONEEEEEEE! TWWWOOOOOO! THREE-

Rich Russillo: :wow: BUT LUCAS JOHNSON GETS HIS FREAKIN’ SHOULDER UP ONCE AGAIN, THIS MATCH IS NOT OVER YET! GREAT EFFORT FROM THOSE TWO! The current New Breed champion looks shocked, as he can’t believe what just happened.

James Peters: But at the same time, he does not waste any time as he picks Lucas Johnson’s body up making him stand on his feet. He attempts a ‘La Bombé Bleu’ Blue Thunder Bomb, BUT LUCAS JOHNSON SLIPS OUT OF IT ESCAPING, AS HE NAILS RYAN’S JAW WITH AN UPPERCUT! THE UPPERCUT HITS THE NEW BREED CHAMPION’S JAW! HE ALMOST FALLS BUT TRIES TO STAND DESPITE THE PAIN HE IS IN!

Rich Russillo: BUT LUCAS JOHNSON DOESN’T ALLOW HIM TO DO SO, LIFTING HIS BODY UP ON HIS SHOULDER, TNEN DROPPING HIS HEAD ON THE MAT! THE BRAINBUSTER! RYAN WILSON IS DOWN AS THE BRAINBUSTER CONNECTS! WHAT A MOVE BY THE WRESTLING MACHINE!

James Peters: Well, it doesn’t seem to be the last one, Lucas Johnson rolls into the apron through the second second rope. He starts climbing his way up to the top rope, which he reaches. What is this man thinking of!?…. OH MY FUCKING GOD! THE 450!!! THE 450 SPLASH CONNECTS WITH THE MIDSECTION OF THE NEW BREED CHAMPION!!! LUCAS JOHNSON HOOKS THE LEG, INTO THE COVER!!! THIS HAS TO BE THE END!

Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!! TWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! THREEEEE-

Rich Russillo: HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!! THE NEW BREED CHAMPION STAYS ALIVE, AND KEEPS THIS MATCH GOING, BY GETTING HIS SHOULDER UP!!! HOW IS HE STILL ABLE TO KICK OUT!? THIS IS QUITE SHOCKING TO EVERYONE AS IT APPEARS ON LUCAS JOHNSON, WHO HOLDS HIS HEAD IN SHOCK!

Persephone: ALL I SEE IS A BUNCH OF IDIOTS NOT WILLING TO END THIS MATCH ANYTIME SOON, DESPITE HOW BORING IT IS! SOMEONE ENDS THIS FOR FUCK’S SAKE, DAMN!

James Peters: Well, it is what it is. The match is still going, as now Lucas Johnson has Ryan Wilson in a Crossface! The Crossface locked in on the face of the New Breed champion, who seems to be quite hurt at the moment!

Rich Russillo: BUT LUCAS JOHNSON DOES NOT REALLY SEEM TO GIVE A FUCK AT THIS POINT, AS HE KEEPS IT IN! WILL HE BE ABLE TO TAP OUT RYAN WILSON PICKING UP THE WIN IN HIS FIRST MATCH OF SEASON 15 BY TAPPING OUT THE NEW BREED CHAMPION, OR WILL RYAN HAVE A DIFFERENT OPINION!?

James Peters: RYAN WILSON DOESN’T SEEM READY TO TAP OUT, AS HE STARTS CRAWLING HIS WAY TO THE BOTTOM ROPE! WILL LUCAS JOHNSON BE ABLE TO NOT ALLOW RYAN WILSON TO REACH THE ROPES, OR WILL THE NEW BREED CHAMPION KEEP THIS MATCH GOING BY STAYING ALIVE! 

Rich Russillo: HE DID IT! HE FINALLY DID IT! RYAN WILSON GRABS THE BOTTOM ROPE! THE MATCH IS STILL GOING ON! BUT, LUCAS JOHNSON STILL HAS THE CROSSFACE IN! WHAT THE FUCK IS HE DOING!? THE REFEREE STARTS HIS FIVE COUNT!!

Referee: ONE! TWO!! THREE!!! FOUR!!!! FI-

James Peters: Lucas Johnson lets go off the New Breed champion’s face, having an angry expression on his own face. He gets back up to his feet, thinking what the hell can he do to beat the New Breed champion tonight.

Rich Russillo: Well, he now starts trying again, as he picks up the body of the New Breed champion, to make him stand on his feet. What is the Wrestling Machine thinking to do-

James Peters: BUT RYAN WILSON FROM OUT OF NOWHERE WITH ‘LA BOMBE BLEU’!!!!!! THE BLUE THUNDER BOMB CONNECTS!!!!! THE WRESTLING MACHINE IS DOWN!!! WHAT A MOVE BY THE NEW BREED CHAMPION!!!! LUCAS JOHNSON IS DOWN!!!!

Rich Russillo: And now Ryan Wilson backs away, waiting for Lucas Johnson to get up to his feet, looks like the New Breed champion is setting up something! And now Lucas Johnson uses the ropes, to finally make it back to his feet, however, he looks helpless at the moment. BUT RYAN WILSON DOES NOT GIVE HIM A CHANCE TO EVEN CATCH HIS BREATH, AND HE NAILS HIM WITH THE ‘MIC DROP’!!!!! THE MIC DROP TO LUCAS JOHNSO-

James Peters: NO!! LUCAS JOHNSON SAVES HIMSELF IN THE LAST SECOND, ESCAPING IT!!! THE WRESTLING MACHINE SLIPS OUT OF IT, STANDING RIGHT BEHIND RYAN WILSON!!!

Rich Russillo: NOT JUST GOING BEHIND HIM, BUT HE GRABS BOTH ARMS OF THE NEW BREED CHAMPION IN THE POSITION OF THE FULL NELSON, WE KNOW WHAT’S COMING… AND ‘THE KILLSWITCH’!! THE KILLSWITCH NAILS RYAN WILSON!!! THE SKULL CRUSHING FINALE CONNECTS!!!!! LUCAS JOHNSON HOOKS THE LEG, FOR THE PIN!! IS IT ENOUGH!?

Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! TWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! THHHHRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEE-

James Peters: BUT SOMEHOW, RYAN WILSON GETS HIS SHOULDER UP!!!! RYAN WILSON JUST KICKED OUT!!! HOW THE HELL!?! LUCAS JOHNSON’S EYES OPEN WIDE, AS HE IS LITERALLY SHOCKED AT THE MOMENT!

Persephone: FUCK, I AM STILL FORCED TO WATCH THIS STUPID MATCH!

Rich Russillo: However, Lucas Johnson gets up with the shocked expression on his face, as well the angry expression. He starts climbing up the top rope, that he reaches. The New Breed champion is down, while The Wrestling Machine is in the corner on the top rope, AND THE RED ARROW TO RYAN WILSO-

James Peters: BUT RYAN WILSON MOVES OUT OF THE WAY, ROLLING OUT OF THE RING! THE WRESTLING MACHINE’S MIDSECTION HITS THE MAT, TAKING ALL THE PAIN THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO HURT RYAN WILSON FOR HIMSELF!! LUCAS JOHNSON IS DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING ABSOLUTELY HURT, WHILE RYAN WILSON ON THE OTHER HAND IS SITTING OUT OF THE RING, LEANING ON THE BARRICADE TO CATCH HIS BREATH. HE HAS A SMILE ON HIS FACE, WHICH TURNS TO A LAUGH. RYAN WILSON STARTS LAUGHING AT LUCAS JOHNSON!

Rich Russillo: And the referee starts counting his Ten count on The New Breed champion.

Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR!

James Peters: And Ryan Wilson starts trying to make it back to his feet, which he finally does. But, with a bit of leaning on the barricade. 

Referee: SIX! SEVEN! EIGHT! NINE!

Rich Russillo: And Ryan Wilson finally makes it back to the ring, right before the Tenth count, keeping this match going. 

James Peters: Lucas Johnson is down. Ryan Wilson is down. Which one of those two men will be able to leave with the win tonight?

Rich Russillo: And Ryan Wilson gets back up to his feet using the ropes to help him in doing that, picking up the body of Lucas Johnson, as he holds him by making him stand up on his feet, AND HE NAILS HIM WITH ANOTHER ‘LA BOMBE BLEU’ BLUE THUNDER BOM-

James Peters: BUT LUCAS JOHNSON SAVES HIMSELF IN THE LAST MOMENT, ESCAPING IT! HE REVERSES THE ‘LA BOMBE BLEU’ BLUE THUNDER BOMB SLIPPING OUT OF IT, AND TAKES DOWN THE NEW BREED CHAMPION WITH ‘THE BLUEPRINT’!!! THE RKO TO RYAN WILSON-

Rich Russillo: NO, HE COULDN’T! RYAN WILSON PUSHES OFF THE BODY OF LUCAS JOHNSON, REVERSING ‘THE BLUEPRINT’!!! LUCAS JOHNSON GETS PUSHED AWAY, AS HE THEN TURNS BACK. BUT, AT THE SAME MOMENT RYAN WILSON JUMPS UP HIGH IN THE AIR AND WITH THE ‘SELF EXPLANATORY’!!!!!!! THE SUPERMAN PUNCH CONNECTS!!!!!!! THE SUPERMAN PUNCH NAILS THE JAW OF THE WRESTLING MACHINE! WHO IS NOW DOWN, LOOKING HELPLESS!!! AND RYAN WILSON TAKES THE ADVANTAGE! HE HOOKS THE LEG, FOR THE COVER!!

Referee: ONNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! TWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! TTTTHHHHHHRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEE-

James Peters: HOLY SHIT!!! LUCAS JOHNSON JUST DID THAT!!! HE JUST GOT HIS SHOULDER UP!!!! LUCAS JOHNSON JUST KICKED OUT!!! DESPITE HOW MUCH HURT THEY BOTH ARE, NEITHER OF THEM IS READY TO COME UP SHORT TONIGHT!!!

Rish Russillo: YOU CAN SEE THE SHOCKED EXPRESSION ON THE FACE OF RYAN WILSON, WHO CAN’T BELIEVE WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED!

James Peters: And due to that, he is actually willing to end this match right now! He gets back up to his feet, picking The Wrestling Machine back up to his feet as well. He grabs him, looking to end this match right now, AND WITH THE ‘MIC DROP’!! THE ‘MIC DROP’ TO LUCAS JOHNSON-

Rich Russillo: NO, THE WRESTLING MACHINE MANAGES TO SLIP OUT OF IT!! LUCAS JOHNSON SLIPS OUT OF IT, THEN HEADBUTTS THE HEAD OF RYAN WISON, WHO STEPS BACK HOLDING HIS FOR HEAD! HOWEVER, HE WASTES NO TIME, PUNCHING LUCAS JOHNSON, BUT LUCAS MANAGES TO DUCK!! HE REBOUNDS, RYAN WILSON TURNS BACK, AND LUCAS JOHNSON WITH ‘THE LIGHTSWITCH’ CLAYMORE KICK-

James Peters: BUT, RYAN WILSON DODGES IT, SAVING HIMSELF IN THE LAST MOMENT! LUCAS JOHNSON LANDS RIGHT ON HIS BACK, LOOKING QUITE HURT AT THE MOMENT! BUT, RYAN WILSON GETS BACK UP TO HIS FEET, STARING AT LUCAS JOHNSON WHO IS GETTING UP SLOWLY AS WELL, BUT LOOKING DEFINITELY HURT, AND HOLDING HIS BACK THAT HE JUST LANDED ON!

Rich Russillo: THE NEW BREED CHAMPION TAKES THE ADVANTAGE, GRABBING THE BODY OF LUCAS JOHNSON, AND NAILS HIM WITH THE ‘MIC DROP’!!! THE ‘MIC DROP’ CONNECTS!!!! LUCAS JOHNSON IS KNOCKED OUT!!! THIS IS RYAN WILSON’S OPPORTUNITY!!!!! HE HOOKS THE LEGS, FOR THE PIN!!!

Referee: OOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!! TTTWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! TTTHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!

(DING! DING! DING!)

Bella Braxton: Here is your winner… THE EAW NEW BREED CHAMPION, RRRYYYAAANNNN WWWIIILLLLSSSOOONNNNN!!!!!!

James Peters: What a match! Lucas Johnson put up such a great fight and he deserves respect for that, but in the end Ryan Wilson was able to get the job done! 

Rich Russillo: This is what got Ryan the New Breed Championship in the first place! That’s one opponent down, and I’m sure there will be many more in Ryan’s first Championship reign!

Persephone: Whatever. Moving on now, right?

(‘The Only Thing They Fear is YOU’ hits, and Ryan Wilson gets back up to his feet before being handed the New Breed Championship. A smile is on Ryan’s face as he has his hand raised, meanwhile Lucas Johnson rolls out of the ring to try and recover. From there, the camera begins to fade away from ringside.)

(Commercial for Jake Smith’s special hidden lifts. Go from 5’3 to 6’0, all while nobody notices.)

(As Voltage returns from commercial break, ‘My Brother (The Dragonslayer)’ by Shiro SAGISU hits, and as expected the crowd begins to boo as loud as they possibly can. Before long the three members of New Eden walk out to the stage and begin making their way towards the ring, and despite capturing victories at both Pain for Pride and the Draft show, none of them look too happy. They all have microphones in their hands, and this just causes the boos from the crowd to grow louder once the fans realize this.)

James Peters: Oh boy… Here comes New Eden, and they clearly have something to say judging by the microphones in their hands. 

Persephone: So more of their usual bitching? Great. There’s only one thing they should be talking about, and that’s the bullshit that went down in Rexy’s match with Cameron Ella Ava!

James Peters: …Why would they have anything to say about that match?

(Drake, Myles and Minerva all enter the ring with their Championships and briefcase, and they can’t help but look a bit disgusted seeing the live crowd here at the AT&T Center.)

Drake King: We got rid of Malcolm Jones, and that wasn’t enough. We dethroned TLA before he was sent packing to Showdown, and that wasn’t enough. We took the Cash in the Vault briefcase, we gave Voltage the number one draft pick, we defeated Dynasty’s World Champion, and NONE of that was enough. STILL we’re disrespected by this place. Still we’re treated like garbage even after giving Captain Charisma everything he could’ve wanted. You ALL see it. You’re not being forced to watch from home anymore. You’re not having to watch the show through a bunch of screens. You guys are actually HERE witnessing the disrespect, and all you guys can do about it is boo US? We’ve been mistreated for months now and the first thing you guys do once you’re allowed back in this building is boo the people actually being disrespected. The bias and disrespect is absolutely disgusting. Where’s this energy when Captain Charisma is drafting us LAST? Where’s this when Captain Charisma is threatening to suspend us for pretty much no reason?

Myles: It’ll never be there. The fans are just as blind as the people we’re actively fighting against every single week. They see what’s going on every week. They hear what we’re saying. They know more than most people what we’ve been through but they’ll never actually have the guts to take a stand and support the right people. That’s just how it’s always been with them. We gave everything we had these past few weeks. We went through some of the biggest matches in our careers and competed AGAIN one week later, being forced to represent the same brand that treated us like shit since February, and if Captain Charisma had a choice we probably would’ve fucking went undrafted. That should be enough to tell everyone here just how shitty Captain Charisma is as a Commissioner but they’ll never see it. No matter what type of stupid shit he pulls, they’ll never see how much of a problem he is. That’s the kind of environment we’re stuck in. That’s the EAW we’re being forced to change, and to our credit we’ve still been taking our steps forward no matter what’s thrown our way, but Captain Charisma can’t keep getting away with this.

Minerva: We have the EAW Championship. We have the National Elite Championship. We have the Cash in the Vault briefcase, and once upon a time that was enough to guarantee you a spot in the first round of the draft. This year it wasn’t even enough to get anything but the very last pick. Captain Charisma did everything he could to avoid having us on his show up until he had no other choice but to pick us. He’s afraid, and after that stunt he pulled at the Draft he has every right to be. Pain for Pride should’ve taught both Captain Charisma and every single one of you that New Eden will never be stopped, so there’s no point in actually trying. I’m sure Captain Charisma thought it was funny drafting us dead last, but he’s not going to be laughing much longer. We’ve been able to overcome every single obstacle thrown at us. The Grand Rampage match. THREE separate matches at Pain for Pride. There has never been a faction in EAW like New Eden, and Captain Charisma’s not going to get in the way of us changing the company.

Drake King: Captain Charisma can keep trying to disrespect us, mistreat us, and even tear us apart, but nothing he does will ever stop New Eden from reaching our goal. He should know that more than anyone, and that’s probably why he didn’t even want us on his brand. The fact that everyone is just sitting back allowing this to happen is disgusting, but that’s what happens when EAW is filled with a bunch of cowards. Everyone here whether it be the authority figures like Captain Charisma, the fans booing us for telling the truth, or the Elitists in the back that do NOTHING to stand up to this kind of mistreatment. They’re all cowards, every single one of the-

(Right before Drake could finish his sentence, ‘High All The Time’ by 50 Cent hits, causing the fans to begin cheering. Drake, Myles and Minerva actually look a bit confused as Justin Windgate begins to make his way down to the ring. Justin doesn’t say anything as he makes his way to the ring, and he has a blunt in his mouth, as well as a lighter in his right hand and a microphone in his left.)

James Peters: This is NOT what I was expecting! Justin Windgate just interrupted New Eden, and he’s making his way to the ring! 

Rich Russillo: Justin Windgate has a pretty big match with Chris Elite coming up tonight. What’s he doing interrupting New Eden of all people?

Persephone: I don’t know, but he better make it quick. 

(Justin finally enters the ring, and despite being outnumbered he walks right up to New Eden, not showing any fear of the trio.)

Minerva: Really?

Myles: What, was the Cash in the Vault ladder match not enough for you? 

(Justin doesn’t say anything, and instead goes to his lighter, lighting the blunt that was already in his mouth.)

Drake King: Unless you’re here to tell us that we were right all along and you finally learned from your mistakes, you might as well just leave the ring now. You’re the worst kind of Elitist, and the fact that you’re so proud of what you’re doing to your own body and to those around you is actually disturbing-

James Peters: :mjlol2: JUSTIN WINDGATE JUST BLEW SMOKE IN DRAKE’S FACE!

(The crowd cheers as Drake immediately stumbles back and begins coughing because of the smoke, and a grin shows up on Justin Windgate’s face, clearly amused with what he just did. Minerva and Myles immediately look prepared to fight, but Justin just raises his microphone.)

Justin Windgate: I just couldn’t listen to all the bitching and moaning any longer. You guys can keep crying about your “mistreatment” after pretty much terrorizing Voltage for over four months on your own time. That’s not what I’m here for. You guys have something I want, and after my performance in the Cash in the Vault match I know I have what it takes to get it.

Minerva: You mean the match you lost?

Myles: To me, might I add?

Justin Windgate: Yes actually. I didn’t win that match, but I’m not going to pretend that I didn’t have a great showing in that match. You can feel however you want about it though, because I don’t have to just bring up Cash in the Vault. Everyone knows what I’m capable of at this point, and if you don’t then you’ve just been living under a rock. You can go back this entire pass season. There’s a reason I became the Interwire Champion when the 24/7 Contract didn’t even originally belong to me, and this season I’m looking to move past that level. I thought I’d be able to do what I couldn’t last year and win the Cash in the Vault briefcase. I thought Pain for Pride would be my moment, but it wasn’t. It was Myles’, but that doesn’t mean I’m done finding my way to the top. I already said this, but I’m not about to spend this season worrying about what should’ve happened last season. Instead I’m going to make it the season where it DOES happen, and there’s no better place to start than with the same group that got a Pain for Pride at my expense. I’ve been New Breed Champion. I’ve been Interwire Champion, but you know what I still haven’t been? The same thing I could’ve had I won at Pain for Pride, and the same thing I WILL be soon enough. EAW World Champ-

(‘Invincible’ by Pop Smoke hits, cutting off Justin Windgate. A mixed reaction is given for Chris Elite who begins walking out to the stage. Justin looks back at the stage, a bit surprised to see his opponent for tonight interrupting him.)

Persephone: Oh brother. 

(Chris Elite has a microphone in his hand, and he begins making his way down to the ring while talking.)

Chris Elite: Justin, you do know you got a match tonight, right? I don’t know why the fuck you’re out here when you’re not even gonna win against me. You’d be much better off saving your Championship hopes and dreams for another time, because there’s only one person that should be out here getting a shot at anything, and it damn sure isn’t you. You had your shot to become Champion by winning the Cash in the Vault ladder match but clearly you couldn’t even do that, so you might as well step your ass aside and make way for someone that actually HAS been World Champion before and is known for more than being the fucking crackhead that lost his title to Ronan Malosi of all people.

(At this point, Chris has made it to the bottom of the ramp, and Justin doesn’t look too phased by Chris’ comments. New Eden is in the ring watching this go down, and Drake is still coughing from the smoke being blown in his face.)

Justin Windgate: Someone that has been World Champion before? You mean you? Even though that was like, three years ago? 

Chris Elite: And it’s still more than you can say for yourself, isn’t it? Not like that’ll matter soon enough anyway, because there’s only one of us getting a shot at that title, and after I beat your ass tonight then your name won’t even be in the conversation. You got some real nerve even coming out here making challenges before our match even happened. You’re not winning against me and your dumbass probably wouldn’t win regardless of which New Eden member you wanted to challenge. You should be grateful I came out here because you’d fucking embarrass yourself. Couldn’t be me though. I’m here to take what I fucking deserve. It’s been way too long since I’ve had my hands on Championship gold, and I’m not about to let another season go without me finally becoming Champion again and showing y’all why I’m a fucking hall of famer and nobody else out here right now is. So New Eden? Y’all might as well count your days, because that Pain for Pride moment y’all had is gonna be real short-lived.

(As Chris says this, Minerva catches his eye, flashing him a grin. This catches Chris off guard, especially knowing the history the two have with each other thanks to Heavenly Hell and the Illionaires. Chris took a slight step back as he looked at her, but he is quick to try and play it off.)

Chris Elite: (mumbling to himself) …Fucking weird bitch. 

(As Chris shakes his head and brushes Minerva off, Drake finally stops coughing and gets back up to his feet, clearly furious with both Justin Windgate and Chris Elite interrupting them.)

Drake King: You know what? THIS is awful. THIS is what’s wrong with this place. We just came out here and showed you all just how disrespectful this company has been to us these past few months, wnd what do you guys do? Justin comes out here and blows that POISON in my face, and you guys just start arguing over something as pathetic as a stupid title shot. This is the problem with this company, you’re focused on the wrong things. You’re focused on things that don’t matter. New Eden was just drafted LAST after what we went through these past few weeks, and knowing how Captain Charisma is he’s just going to keep mistreating the three of us for the rest of this season. Do neither of you see the problem with that?

Justin Windgate: Nah.

Chris Elite: Fuck no. 

New Eden: :francis: 

Chris Elite: Why the fuck would I care that y’all are mistreated or whatever? You’ve been on some bullshit for an entire season and the other two mayo mutants decided to follow your dumbass. I don’t give a shit what type of “disrespect” y’all get. I just want that title. 

Justin Windgate: Well you’re gonna have to get in line.

Chris Elite: Behind who? The bozo I’m about to beat tonight? 

(Finally ‘Self Help Tape’ by Moses Sumney hits, and the crowd begins cheering as loud as possible as Captain Charisma makes his way to the stage. Obviously all three members of New Eden are pissed having to see the Commissioner, but Captain Charisma actually doesn’t pay them too much attention.)

Captain Charisma: Chris, Justin, I get it. Both of you want a shot at the EAW Championship. You’re both amazing competitors and that’s why I drafted you two to Voltage in the first place. I know what you guys are capable of, and I’m not about to deny you guys an opportunity. So with that being said, since you guys are already in a match tonight… Your match is now a NUMBER ONE CONTENDERSHIP MATCH FOR THE EAW CHAMPIONSHIP! The winner will face Drake King for his Championship at Bloodsport!

(The crowd explodes after Captain Charisma’s announcement, and both Chris Elite and Justin Windgate look towards one another, understanding the added stakes to their upcoming match.)

James Peters: :oh:!!!!

Rich Russillo: Number one contendership for the EAW World Championship!?!?

Persephone: THAT SHOULD’VE BEEN REXY’S MATCH :mjcry:!!! I miss him so much.

James Peters: Either Justin Windgate or Chris Elite will be the first person to face Drake King for his EAW Championship! This is huge!

Rich Russillo: I can’t wait! This was already going to be a good match, but now this is going to be bigger than ever!

(‘Self Help Tape’ begins to play once again as the crowd continues to cheer, and all three members of New Eden look annoyed, staring a hole at the Voltage Commissioner as he makes his way to the back. Knowing they have a match next, Minerva and Myles finally make their way to their corner as Myles tosses his briefcase to the side, but you can see the frustration on all of their faces thanks to the announcement. From there, Voltage fades out to a commercial break.)

(Promotional ad for Bloodsport, where Drake King defends his EAW Championship against either Justin Windgate or Chris Elite.)

(As Voltage returns, Minerva and Myles eagerly wait in the ring as they prepare for their tag team match against IDOL-GUN. Drake is already gone, as is everyone that interrupted New Eden.)

Bella Braxton: Already in the ring… THE TEAM OF THE NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPION MINERVA AND MYLES…. NEW EDEN!!!!!

(The two continue to wait in the ring as the crowd boos, but it takes a little longer than usual for IDOL-GUN to walk out.)

Persephone….Where the fuck are these two?

Rich Russillo: It’s entirely possible that these are mindgames from IDOL-GUN, making New Eden wait and allowing them to become frustrated.

Persephone: Or they knew their match was barely worth our time and decided to dip early. Makes sense.

(…)

James Peters: It’s been about two minutes and IDOL-GUN-

(‘The Day’ by Porno Graffitti begins to play as Hikari Kanno and Miku Sakai slowly make their way onto the stage.) 

Bella Braxton: AND THEIR OPPONENTS! WRESTLING AT A COMBINED WEIGHT OF231 POOUNNDSS! MIKU SAKAI, HIKARI KANNO, IDOL-GUNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!

(A mixed reception plays them to the ring as they point and smile at New Eden, who are anything but happy that these two women have made them wait for so long.)

James Peters: Boy, the mind games have begun already! IDOL-GUN is trying to unearth the anger beneath the skin of New Eden, if there’s any there to begin with. 

Rich Russillo: Oh, I’m sure there is on both sides. These two teams don’t like each other and they’ve been spitting venom all week long. Both have been incredibly vocal about their plans to make season 15 theirs, but only one team can leave this match as victor. They’re both elite, but who is most so?! 

Persephone: Probably the one who actually won at Pain For Pride…

(Timekeeper calls for the bell, indicating the beginning of the match.)

(DING! DING! DING!)

Rich Russillo: And we are underway! This highly anticipated tag team match between New Eden and IDOL-GUN is finally rolling and it’s Hikari Kanno and Myles who are gonna begin this match. They dance around the ring, trying to find an angle of attack, now they meet in the middle and lock horns! A collar and elbow tie-up, Myles gets the better of it and uses his power to push Hikari back- But she slips out from under him and turns this around! She pressured Myles back into her corner and Miku tags herself in!

(TAG!)

James Peters: And Miku is in this match! Hikari and Miku now duck under a clothesline attempt from Myles and fire simultaneous dropkicks to the face of Mr. Cash In The Vault! Myles is dropped as Miku now comes off the ropes with a sliding knee to the face- No! He avoids that one, trying to get to Minerva, but Miku blasts Minerva off the apron, she doesn’t care who’s legal and whose not! It’s nobody but IDOL-GUN, tonight! 

Persephone: Myles buries a shoulder in the midsection of Miku Sakai, pressuring her back into the turnbuckles, but Minerva isn’t there! Miku tries to bring a big knee into the face of Myles, but he overpowers her and drops a big forearm in her midsection! Now lifting Miku up in the air, attempting a brainbuster! She’s fighting out of it and holding onto the rope so Myles can’t get her all the way up, BUT MINERVA CLOBBERS MIKU’S ARM OFF THE TOP ROPE AND MYLES DROPS HER WITH A STINGING BEAINBUSTER! YIKES!

James Peters: Minerva made Miku Sakai pay for blasting her off the apron earlier, Hikari calling for the referee to throw Minerva out of the match, but Myles and Minerva use the distraction to double-team Miku Sakai! Minerva’s holding her by the throat as Myles is dropping kicks and knees into the midsection and they toss Miku to the canvas! Myles tags Minerva in and she’s legal!

(TAG!)

Rich Russillo: Minerva is about to prey on the badly hurting Miku, WAIT, HERE COMES HIKARI! Hikari Kanno kicks Myles legs out from under him and he’s sent tumbling off the apron! He fell hard and crashed to the floor! Minerva tries to go to the outside to help her fallen teammate- MIKU GRABS THE TIGHTS AND ROLLS HER UP! ROLLUP FROM MIKU! SHE’S GOT THE TIGHTS, MIKU FOR THE WIN!

ONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

THHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR-

James Peters: MINERVA POWERS OUT! OH MY, WE ALMOST SAW MIKU WIN THIS WITH THAT ROLLUP! Minerva quickly back up to her feet and gouges at the eyes of Miku Sakai! Turnabout is fair play! Miku is blinded and Minerva takes her back, what the hell is she looking for?! OH NO, SHE’S GOT HER UP FOR A VERTEBREAKER! SHE’S GONNA SNAP THE SPINE OF MIKU, NO, MIKU GRABS THE ROPES AND IS ABLE TO FALL OUT TO THE APRON!

Rich Russillo: MIKU WITH A SHARP ELBOW TO THE FACE OF MINERVA NOW, SHE GETS TO THE TOP ROPE AND LOOKS TO FLY WITH A SPRINGBOARD FOREARM! BANG! MINERVA WITH A PUNCH FROM THE DEPTHS OF HELL, STRAIGHT TO THE CHIN, TOOK MIKU OUT OF MIDAIR AND SHE FALLS ONTO THE APRON HARD! MIKU’S BODY SMACKED THAT APRON AND SHE’S BARELY STIRRING!

Persephone: WAIT, LOOK AT MINERVA, MINERVA COMING OFF THE ROPES AND DRIVES TWO BOOTS INTO THE BODY OF MIKU SAKAI! A SLIDING BASEBALL DROPKICK THAT VAULTED MIKU SAKAI INTO THE BARRICADE! Hikari Kanno is back in the mix, she slides in and tries to bl;ast Minerva from behind! Minerva evades the attack and- BOOM! HIKARI IS MET WITH A JUMPING KNEE STRIKE TO THE TEETH BY MYLES! MYLES ENDING HIKARI INTO ANOTHER REALM WITH THAT KNEE STRIKE, ABSOLUTELY BRUTAL!

James Peters: New Eden is rolling right now as this match descends into pure chaos! Now Myles lifts Hikari up for a powerbomb, what is Minerva thinking?!

Rich Russillo:  YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT SHE’S THINKING! MYLES POWERBOMBS HIKARI INTO A GERMAN SUPLEX FROM MINERVA!! A TOWERING POWEBOMB INTO A SPINE SHATTERING GERMAN SUPLEX! NEW EDEN WITH THE TANDEM OFFENSE, MY LORD, WHAT A MOVE! WAIT, SHE’S NOT LEGAL! MIKU IS, THEY NEED MIKU BACK IN THE RING TO WIN THIS MATCH! 

James Peters: They’re realizing that now and Myles is going outside to drag Miku Sakai back under the bottom rope- SHE SMASHES MYLES FACE OFF THE APRON! NOW A LOW BLOW! THE REFEREE COULDN’T SEE IT, SHE KICKED THE GRAPES OF WRATH NET TO THE APRON AND THE REFEREE DIDN’T CATCH IT! MINERVA SLIDES BACK WITH ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE DROPKICKS, BUT MIKU AVOIDS THIS ONE AND MINERVA SLIDES THROUGH THE ROPES AND TO THE FLOOR! 

Persephone: But she lands on her feet! She landed on her feet and Miku Sakai plants a boot right on the face of Minerva! She’s stunned! On wobbly legs is Minerva, Miku Sakai now grabbing Minerva for a ddt, WAIT, MIKU RUNS OFF THE APRON AND TWIRLS AROUND IN THE AIR AND DRIVES MINERVA’S SKULL DOWN TO THE FLOOR WITH THAT TORNADO DDT! WHAT A TORNADO DDT FROM MIKU! 

Rich Russillo: Miku Sakai slides back in the apron and Myles follows her, he storms Miku and fires a back elbow at the face of Miku! She avoids it and Myles runs right into Hikari, who’s somehow back on her feet! She drills a thrust kick into the back of Myles and sends him back towards Miku! NOW MIKU WITH A RUNNING KNEE OF HER OWN! A KNEE STRIKE TO THE FACE OF MYLES FROM MIKU SAKAI! HIS EYES ROLLED INTO THE BACK OF HEAD, HE DOESN’T KNOW WHERE HE IS! 

James Peters: Hikari is feeling the energy once again and she’s looking for a ‘BRIGHTSTAR’! That uranage slam that would surely spell doom for Myles in this match! Miku whips Myles towards Hikari, WAIT! MINERVA’S BACK UP! She rolls into the ring and Miku Sakai flattens her with a running hip attack! She rolls back to the outside, but Myles breaks free and delivers a back elbow to Hikari! That one rocked her as Myles clotheslines Miku over the top rope! He delivers Miku Sakai to the outside as Hikari returns and spills Myles to the outside as well! EVERYONE ON THE OUTSIDE, HERE COMES HIKARI!

Persephone: HIKARI KANNO OVER THE TOP ROPE WITH A SLINGSHOT SENTON TO THE OUTSIDE!! ALA HER PARTNER, MIKU SAKAI, WHO ALSO MANAGED TO ESCAPE THE CARNAGE BEFORE HIKARI CAME FLYING OUT! IDOL-GUN HAVE TAKEN CONTROL AND ARE FEELING THEMSELVES ON THE CUSP OF A VICTORY! IDOL-GUN HAVE NEW EDEN ON THE ROPES AND NEED TO CAPITALIZE NOW! HURRY AND END THE MATCH!

Rich Russillo: NEW EDEN IS ON TOP OF THE WORLD RIGHT NOW, IDOL GUN IS STARING DEAD IN THEIR EYES THE CHANCE TO RIP NEW EDEN DOWN FROM THEIR PEDESTAL AND RECLAIM THEIR POSITION AS EAW’S GREATEST TEAM! THE GREATEST TEAM IN THE WORLD! THIS IS THEIR CHANCE, MIKU SAKAI ROLLS MINERVA INTO THE RING AND THEN TAGS HIKARI KANNO! HIKARI DRAPES MINERVA’S FEET ON THE ROPES, NOW MIKU SAKAI JUMPS FROM THE SECOND TURNBUCKLE AND DRIVES A KNEE INTO THE NECK OF MINERVA, HIKARI IMMEDIATELY TRANSITIONS INTO A DRAGON SCREW NECK WHIP!!!  THERE IT IS, ‘ROLLING HEADS’!!! THYE HIT IT AND HIKARI GOES FOR THE PIN ON MINERVA!! FOR THE VICTORY!

ONNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

TWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!)

THHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

Persephone: COME ON!!! WHY!?!?

James Peters: MYLES OUT OF NOWHERE!!! HE DIVES ON TOP AND SAVES THIS MATCH! MYLES SAVES THE MATCH AND NEW EDEN ARE STILL IN IT! MY GOD, THIS IS A WAR OF ATTRITION!  MYLES SOMEHOW GOT BACK IN THE RING AT THE VERY LAST SECOND AND MADE ABSOLUTELY SURE THAT NEW EDEN WOULD NOT FALL AFTER REACHING THEIR HIGHEST HIGH THUS FAR AT PAIN FOR PRIDE! THIS IS NEW EDEN’S EAW AND THIS STABLE WILL STOP AT NOTHING TO PROVE IT SO!

Rich Russillo: NOW MYLES BACK TO HIS FEET, MIKU SAKAI RUNS TOWARDS HIM AND TRIES ANOTHER RUNNING HIP ATTACK! HE CAUGHT HER AND IS TRYING TO TURN IT INTO A GERMAN SUPLEX! SHE’S FIGHTING DESPERATELY WITH ELBOWS TO THE SKULL OF MYLES, HERE COMES HIKARI AGAIN! MYLES RELEASE MIKU AS HE AVOIDS THE ONCOMING KANNO ONSLAUGHT! 

James Peters: Myles now grabs Miku by the wrist and thrusts her into Hikari! IDOL-GUN with a malfunction at the junction as they collide with one another, now Myles shoves Miku into Hikari again and Hikari Kanno is forced out of the ring to the outside! NOW HE HITS THE BRIDGING GERMAN SUPLEX ON MIKU SAKAI! WHAT ATHLETICISM FROM MYLES! WAIT, HE’S NOT LEGAL, HE NEEDS TO TAG MINERVA! BUT KANNO FROM BEHIND, A RUNNING BIG BOOT TO THE BACK OF MYLES’ NECK! SHEESH! 

Persephone: Myles drops to the canvas AS MINERVA GETS BACK TO HER FEET, DUCKING UNDER A KICK FROM KANNO AND LIFTING HER UP, DEAR LORD, SHE’S GONNA HIT IT THIS TIME! MINERVA SHOCKS HIKARI WITH A VERTEBREAKER THAT SENDS THEM BOTH TO THE GROUND! EVERYONE’S DOWN AND MINERVA DOESN’T HAVE THE WHEREWITHAL TO COVER HIKARI :noah:!!!

Rich Russillo: She knows that won’t be enough! She knows if they want to finish IDOL-GUN for good, they need to put the nail in the coffin and prevent these two from ever trying to stop them again! Minerva is helping Myles to his feet as both Hikari and Miku are able to collect themselves on the other side of the ring….OH BOY, HERE WE GO!

James Peters: THE FIGHT IS ON! THE BRAWL IS LIVE AND IN COLOR!

Persephone: YES! KILL EACH OTHER! TIRED OF SEEING ALL OF YOU! 

James Peters: MYLES AND MIKU, MINERVA AND HIKARI, THESE FOUR ARE TRYING TO DO JUST THAT, PERSEPHONE!

Persephone: WHY DO YOU THINK I SAID IT YOU DINGBAT, ONE OF YOU FINISH THIS MATCH FOR GOOD! 

James Peters: MIKU SAKAI WITH A RUNNING DROPKICK TO MYLES THAT SITS HIM DOWN IN THE CORNER! OH NO, HERE GOES MIKU! STINK FACE IN THE CORNER, ‘EAT MY ASS’!!!!! ‘EAT MY ASS’!!!! ‘EAT MY ASS’!!!!

Persephone: NO THANKS!

James Peters:…

Rich Russillo: MIKU IS VIOLATING MYLES, BUT HE’S ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE CORNER AND DELIVER A BICYCLE KICK TO THE CHEST OF MIKU, NOW SHE COMES BACK TO THE WAHLE AGAIN AND IS MET WITH A SUPERKICK FROM MYLES! MYLES REALIGNING THE JAW OF MIKU! CALL HAT BOY INVISALIGN THE WAY HE CHANGE YA TEETH!

James Peters: LOOK AT MINERVA AND HIKARI! BOTH TRADING PUNCHES AND FOREARMS, A STORM OF PUNCHES FROM MINERVA GIVE HER THE EDGE! SHE COMES OFF THE ROPES AND IS MET WITH A BOOT TO THE FACE BY HIKARI! BUT THEN SHE RETURNS FIRE WITH A MASSIVE PUNCH TO THE CHIN OF KANNO! SHE’S STUNNED- MINERVA GOES FOR A RUNNING CLOTHESLINE ON THE DAZED KANNO, WHO TURNS IT AROUND AND GRABS MINERVA IN  URANAGE POSITION! OH NO! ‘BRIGHTSTAR’!!!! ‘BRIGHTSTAR’ SLAM FROM KANNO, BUT SHE HAS NO IDEA WHERE SHE IS! SHE CAN’T COVER HER, BUT MY GOD, WHAT A SEQUENCE!

James Peters: LOOK ATMIKU SAKAI, SHE’S WOBBLY LEGS, SHE DOESN’T KNOW WHERE SHE IS! MYLES LIFTS HER UP ON HIS SHOULDERS, BUT SHE’S ABLE TO GET OUT TO THE APRON AND FIND HER FOOTING! ESCAPING MYLES GRASP, BUT HE FOLLOWS HER OUT THERE, MYLES AND MIKU BOTH ON THE APRON, OH BOY! MYLES RUNS FROM POST TO POST WITH A RUNNING KNEE! HE LAUNCHES HIMSELF- BANG! NO! MYLES MISSED AS MIKU DOVE UNDER HIM! HIS KNEE JUST WENT FULL FORCE INTO THAT RINGPOST! HE’S IN SO MUCH PAIN AND MIKU SEES IT! NOW MIKU SAKAI WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX OF HER OWN! A TASTE OF MYLES’ OWN MEDICINE! HE GOT PLANTED WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX ON THE APRON!

Persephone: WHAT THE FUCK.. MYLES STILL SOMEHOW POWERING THROUGH IT, HE’S TRYING TO GET TO HIS FEET!?! STEROIDS MUST DO INSANE THINGS FOR YOU!

Rich Russillo: MYLES IS STILL GOING, STILL ALIVE, IT’LL TRULY TAKE THE KITCHEN SINK TO PUT HIS LIGHTS OUT! WAIT, OH NO, WE’RE ABOUT TO SEE SO MUCH MORE THAN THE KITCHEN SINK! MIKU SAKAI IS HEADING TO THE TOP ROPE AS MYLES GETS TO HIS FEET! DON’T DO THIS MIKU! SHE’S ABOUT TO LIVE TRUE TO THE NAME ‘SKYFALL’ BECAUSE THIS WILL TRULY BE A FALL FROM THE SKIES!!! 

James Peters: MIKU SAKAI SIGNALING FOR THE END, MYLES TURNS AROUND, HERE SHE GOES!!! MIKU SAKAI FROM THE TOPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!! ‘SKYYYYYYFALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!’ ‘SKYFALLLLLLLLLLLLLLL’!!!! SHE HIT IT!!! THAT DIVING CORKSCREW CUTTER ON ALL THE WAY FROM THE TOP ROPE AND SHE TOOK MYLES TO THE FLOOR WITH IT! MYLES CRANIUM JUST SPLATTERED ALL OVER THE FLOOR, HE’LL BE LUCKY IF HE’S ABLE TO COMPETE EVER AGAIN AFTER TAKING SOMETHING LIKE THAT!! MY GOD!

Rich Russillo: SHE TOOK MYLES OUT FOR GOOD AND MR. CASH IN THE VAULT IS LAYING LIFELESSLY ON THE FLOOR AS MIKU ROLLS IN PAIN! MINERVA SEES MYLES ON THE FLOOR, BUT SHE CAN’T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT! SHE TURNS AROUND AND IS COVERING UP AS HIKARI DELIVERS FILTHY KNEE STRIKES TO HER BODY! SHE”S JUST TAKING THESE AS HIKARI UNLOADS WITH THIS ATTACK! 

Persephone: BOOOOOMMMMM!!! MINERVA TAKES THE HEAD OF KANNO WITH AN EXPLOSIVE LARIAT OUT OF NOWHERE! HIKARI HIT THE CANVAS LIKE A PANCAKE HITS THE…PAN!! MINERVA WITH A HUGE MOVE FROM OUT OF NOWHERE AND SHE’S GOT HIKARI DOWN AND OUT! MIKU SAKAI SOMEHOW MAKES HER WAY INTO THE RING AND TRIES TO STORM MINERVA WITH KICKS AND PUNCHES, BUT MINERVA WITH A STUNNING ELBOW TO THE TEMPLE OF MIKU!

Rich Russillo: NOW THE ‘BLACK ROSE’ SIDESTEPS HER AND DELIVERS ‘THE DEVIL’S TOUCH’!!!  THAT SUPERKICK TO THE CHIN OF MIKU!! IT DROPS MIKU TO THE CANVAS AND MINERVA THROWS HER THROUGH THE ROPES, OUT TO THE FLOOR! SAY WHAT YOU WILL ABOUT THEIR IDEALS AND THEIR PROCLAMATIONS, NEW EDEN WILL FIGHT TOOTH AND NAIL FOR EVERY BIT OF GROUND THEY WANT TO GAIN IN EAW!!

James Peters: MINERVA NOW SEES THE GATES OF VICTORY OPENING FOR HER, SHE KNOWS A WIN HERE WOULD FURTHER IMMORTALIZE NEW EDEN’S LEGACY, SHE’S LOOKING FOR ‘ATLAS FALLS’!!!

….

Rich Russillo: MIKU SAKAI!!! SHE SAVES IT!!! BROKEUP THE PIN AND SAVES THE MATCH! IDOL-GUN ARE ALIVE! THEY’RE ALIVE AND SOMEHOW STILL IN THIS! MIKU OUT OF NOWHERE, MY LORD, WHAT A MATCH!!! 

(The crowd gets to their feet and cheer for these two teams, who despite their antics are putting on an incredible bout.)

Rich Russillo: MIKU SAKAI OUT OF NOWHERE AND SHE’S BACK IN THE MATCH! MINERVA CAN’T BELIEVE IT! MIKU FLIES WITH A FOREARM INTO THE FACE OF MINERVA AND DROPS HER TO THE CANVAS!! SHE HELPS HIKARI UP TO HER FEET AND IN AN INSTANT, IDOL-GUN HAVE TURNED THIS AROUND! MIKU SAKAI QUICKLY EXITS OUT TO THE APRON SO HIKARI CAN TAG HER IN, AS IF SHE DIDN’T THEY WOULD’VE BEEN COUNTED OUT FOR A DISQUALIFICATION! THESE TWO ARE LOOKING TO PUT THIS ONE AWAY!

James Peters: IDOL-GUN HAVE TURNED THIS AROUND AND HAVE THIS MATCH IN THE PALM OF THEIR HAND RIGHT NOW!! THEY’RE LOOKING FOR ‘ONLYENDS’!!! HIKARI WITH THE INVERTED HAMMERLOCK-

(The attention of the entire arena turns to the stage as ‘Zombie’ by Bad Wolves is heard throughout the arena.)

James Peters: WHAT THE HELL!?!

Persephone: MS… MS. EXTREME?!?

Rich Russillo: WE’RE HEARING THE ENTRANCE MUSIC OF THE UNIVERSAL WOMENS CHAMPION, BUT SHE HASN’T SHOWN HERSELF YET!! 

James Peters: HIKARI KANNO HAS A MATCH WITH MS. EXTREME AT BLOODSPORT FOR THAT UNIVERSAL WOMENS CHAMPIONSHIP, BUT IT APPEARS THAT CAMILLE ISN’T WAITING THAT LONG-

Persephone: MYLES??! WHERE DID HE COME FROM?! HE’S BACK SOMEHOW AND JUST DUMPED HIKARI KANNO OUT OF THE RING!! MIKU SAKAI TURNS AROUND AND IS CAUGHT IN A SMALL PACKAGE PIN BY MINERVA! NO! NOT THIS WAY!!! MINERVA PINS MIKU SAKAI!!!!

OOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

TWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

THHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!




(DING! DING! DING!)

Bella Braxton: Here are your winners… NEWWWWWW EEEDDDDEENNNNNN!!!!!!

(‘My Brother’ by Shiro SHAGISU begins to sound as Myles and Minerva quickly escape the ring and hold onto one another as they fall onto the floor. Miku Sakai can’t believe what just happened, and Hikari Kanno quickly re-enters the ring to comfort her tag team partner, looking just as frustrated as Miku.)

James Peters: NEW EDEN GET THE WIN! OH MY GOD, NEW EDEN GET THE WIN AFTER A WAR, BUT NO THANKS TO A MYSTERIOUS DISTRACTION FROM MS. EXTREME!

Rich Russillo: A win is a win! They’ve managed to knock off IDOL-GUN in impressive fashion and the future is only looking upwards for New Eden.

Persephone: She let theme music distract her. They both did. They lost because they’re idiots, simply put. 

James Peters: Hikari and Miku are visibly frustrated, can’t say I really blame them. 

Persephone: I can. 

(IDOL-GUN stand in the ring as both Myles and Minerva slowly back up the ramp; neither team taking their eyes off the other, signalling that while their immediate future may not intertwine with each other, that this may not be the last time that we see these two team competing against each other. Hikari Kanno runs her hands across her waist, turning her attention to the simps sitting ringside, showing that despite what just happened, her intentions are clearly on her upcoming Universal Women’s Championship match at Bloodsport. In return, the simps celebrate as if she’s already the champion. Suddenly, the crowd packed inside the AT&T Center ERUPTS as…)

James Peters: LOOK! LOOK! BEHIND IDOL-GUN! THE SIMPS SITTING AT RINGSIDE TRYING TO WARN IDOL-GUN, BUT THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT OR WHO IS WAITING BEHIND THEM

**CRACK**

James Peters: IT’S CAMILLE! MS. EXTREME NAILS MIKU SAKAI IN THE BACK WITH A BRUTAL CHAIR SHOT! THE BLOW SENDING HER ROLLING OUT OF THE RING AS HIKARU KANNO TURNS AND FACES THE WOMEN THAT SHE’S GOING TO FACE AT BLOODSPORT!

Rich Russillo: You had to know that there was going to be a receipt for what Hikari Kanno did to Camille at the Draft a week ago, and the look on the face of Hikari Kanno tells one hell of a story! Hikari Kanno shoots forward – BUT, CAMILLE DRIVES THE EDGE OF THAT CHAIR INTO THE STOMACH OF HIKARU KANNO!

**CRACK**

James Peters: AND SHE FOLLOWS THAT WITH A BACK BREAKING SHOT ACROSS THE BACK! HIKARI KANNO DROPS DOWN TO THE CANVAS AS HER SPINE JARS IN PAIN!

**CRACK**

Rich Russillo: ANOTHER SHOT; HIKARI KANNO TRIED TO PUSH HERSELF BACK UP, BUT CAMILLE DROPS HER AGAIN WITH ANOTHER SHOT ACROSS TO THE SPINE! Hikaru tries to crawl out of the ring, but Camille grabs her by a handful of her hand and drags her across the ring! Ms. Extreme demands and is given a microphone; there’s no chance that she’s going to allow Hikari Kanno to go anywhere!

James Peters: You just knew that Ms Extreme wasn’t going to take what happened last week kindly! She was never going to stand back and wait for their upcoming match at Bloodsport! 

(Ms Extreme drags Hikari back to the middle of the ring and finally lets go for that handful of hair; Miku makes her way back up onto the apron, but Camille cracks her in the jaw with a running forearm, sending her flying back off the apron and into the barricade. Ms Extreme crouches down beside Hikari before beginning to speak.)

Ms Extreme: What did you think was going to happen? Did you REALLY think that there wasn’t going to be repercussions for what happened last week? Did you REALLY think that you were going to be able dictate everything that happens between now and Bloodsport? Everything may have gone your way while you stood against those who were willing to play those games, but not against this bitch. But, obviously you have no idea who you’re standing against. You threw yourself into my world, cunt, and now you’re forced to suffer every single consequence that’s been coming for you for months. You don’t need to spend your time worrying about trying to take this beautiful Universal Women’s Championship; you need to worry about surviving. I was gracious enough to give you what you want. The opportunity to become the star that you’ve always wanted to be; like I will be to ANYONE that wants to try to accomplish something that NOBODY is going to be able to achieve as I go onto becoming the GREATEST Universal Women Champion in the history of this business. The bitch that becomes the champion that this championship deserves to hold it. The bitch that makes this championship everything that it should have always been.

(Hikari, once again tries to crawl out of the ring, but Camille quickly stops her. Ms Extreme mounts her upcoming challenger and fires away with unforgiving, rapid fire shots to the head and face before getting back to her feet and picking the microphone back up.)

Ms Extreme: You don’t get to move until I let you move. 

(You can hear the cries of the simps sitting at ringside, but it’s quickly overpowered by the roar of the rest of those inside the AT&T Center. Ms Extreme unfolds the chair and takes a seat next to the downed Hikari.)

Ms Extreme: How did you think that this was all going to end? You lost the Unified Tag Team Championships against two people that spend the majority of a season continuously failing and you actually believe that you’re going to be able to take this away from me? You actually believe that you’re going onto bigger and better things? I want you to remember that as great as you want to believe the rise of IDOL-GUN was. I want you to remember that all the names that the two of you managed to beat mean nothing when you lost the first time you tried to stand up against the baddest bitch on the block. Now, you want to do it all again at Bloodsport of all places? You want to throw everything away for the chance to truly make yourself famous?

(Ms Extreme gets to her feet, turning her attention to the simps as walks across the ring before looking down at them.)

Ms Extreme: I want you to spend the weeks leading into our match cherishing the way that she looks, because it’s not going to be anything close to the state that I leave her in after I’m finished with her at Bloodsport.

(Ms. Extreme picks up the Universal Women’s Championship before placing her foot across the throat of her challenger. Hikari clutches onto the leg of Camille, gasping for air, but she doesn’t have the strength left to push her away from the attack with the chair.)

Ms Extreme: This championship is everything that I’ve spent my entire career working towards. This championship is the culmination of everything that I’ve done here. The blood. The sweat. The tears. You’re not taking this from me. You’re never going to take this away from me. Neither of you are ever going to take this Universal Women’s Championship away from this bitch. I want you to remember what happened the last time you tried to stand up against me. I want you to remember that I beat that slut laying over there to earn my opportunity to take what I deserved more than any other name in this entire business. And the next time you decide that you want to temp the hands of fate; I want you to remember what’s going to happen every single time you decide that you want to stand up against me.

(Camille takes her foot off of the throat of Hikari, picking up the chair as Hikari slowly pushes herself back up.)

**CRACK**

James Peters: MS EXTREME WITH ONE LAST DEFINITIVE BLOW TO THE HEAD OF HIKARI KANNO WITH THAT STEEL CHAIR! MIKU SAKAI IS STILL DOWN OUTSIDE THE RING! HIKARI KANNO ISN’T MOVING INSIDE THE RING! THE UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION STANDS ALONE! HIKARI KANNO THREW THE FIRST SHOT AT THE DRAFT LAST WEEK, BUT BY GOD – SHE PAID THE PRICE FOR THAT IN FULL TONIGHT!

Rich Russillo: I would say I wonder if IDOL-GUN, but more importantly, Hikari Kanno may regret stepping up against the new Universal Women’s Champion, but they’ve shown us in the past that they’re more than capable of stepping into any environment. This may only be the tip of the iceberg of what we’re going to see either of these two women do to each other! 

(“Zombie” by Bad Wolves hits as Ms Extreme drops the steel chair beside the unmoved Hikari Kanno before picking up the Universal Women’s Championship in the ring and throwing it over her shoulder. Camille begins to make her leave, backing up the ramp with a big smirk covered across her face. She makes her way up onto the stage, raising her championship high into the air as the crowd erupts once more.)

Rich Russillo: We’re still just over a month away from Bloodsport and if that wasn’t any indication of what we’re in for – I’d hate to see how far this is going to go!

James Peters: We watched what Ms Extreme was willing to do in order to earn a shot at and win that Universal Women’s Champion, but imagine what that woman is going to be willing to do in order to keep it! 

(Camille confidently makes her way to the back as “Zombie” fades out. The camera cuts back to the ring as the simps sitting at ringside have now made their way both ringside and into the ring to tend to their fallen idols. They delicately lift Miku Sakai back up to her feet and up onto their shoulders as the others roll Hikari out of the ring and onto their shoulders. The simps somberly carry IDOL-GUN out of the arena as boos rain down from the fans inside the arena. They carry IDOL-GUN backstage before the camera fades elsewhere.)

(Commercial for the Discord app featuring Ronan Malosi. Share all the horrible opinions you want today!)

(Voltage fades back to ringside, and Bella Braxton stands in the center of the ring.)

Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen…. The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!!!

Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!

Bella Braxton: And it is now for number one contendership for the EAW CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!!

(The crowd cheers at the huge match announcement, and the cheering continues as ‘High All The Time’ by 50 Cent hits. Justin Windgate makes his way out to the stage, and he looks at the AT&T Center, pleased to see live crowds back in the new season. Justin makes his way down the ramp towards the ring, and very quickly you can see a more focused look grow on Justin’s face, as he’s getting exactly what he wanted in an EAW Championship opportunity. He doesn’t want to let this match go to waste, and even before that contendership stipulation was announced he made that very clear.)

Bella Braxton: Introducing first…. From Detroit, Michigan…. Weighing in at 225 pounds… JJJUUUUUUSSSTIIIINNNNNN WWIIIIIINNNDDDGGAAAAATTTEEEE!!!!!!

James Peters: And here comes Justin Windgate! Justin is here on Voltage, and he may not have won the Cash in the Vault match back at Pain for Pride, but I think he said everything he needed to earlier tonight. He made an excellent case for why he should be the one to face Drake King for his EAW Championship, and now he has the opportunity to do just that.

Rich Russillo: Yeah, but this won’t be an easy match. Chris and Justin had one hell of a back and forth, and if their energy on the promo page is what we’ll be seeing inside of the ring, then we’re in for a real treat.

Persephone: :usure:?? It’s Justin Windgate and Chris Elite. They can cut a thousand trash promos and it wouldn’t matter. There’s a reason neither of them won at Pain for Pride.

James Peters: They didn’t win at Pain for Pride, but they’re still in the World Championship picture 🤷‍♂️.

(‘Invincible’ by Pop Smoke hits, and the crowd gives a mixed reaction as Chris Elite begins to make his way out to the stage. He looks confident in his chances still, but he keeps his eyes focused on Justin Windgate as he makes his way towards the ring. Much like Justin, Chris has made it clear that he planned to win this match from the start, but now there’s a World Championship opportunity on the line. That’ll motivate anyone to try even harder than before, even if they were already planning to bring their best. Chris looks ready for his match and doesn’t look too worried, as he continues to make his way down the ramp.)

Bella Braxton: And his opponent… From Brooklyn, New York…. Weighing in at 210 pounds…. CCHHRRRIIIISSSS EEELLLLIIIIIIIITTTEE!!!!

James Peters: And here’s Chris Elite! It’s been such a long time since Chris was a member of the Voltage roster, and let’s not forget. Once upon a time Chris was World Champion, and he was World Champion ON Voltage. Could we see Chris repeat history at Bloodsport?

Rich Russsillo: Possibly. He seemed focused on this match when he interrupted Justin earlier. I think he knows what he’s doing.

Persephone: Does he really? I don’t think Chris ever knows what he’s doing.

James Peters: Chris Elite is super talented whether you like it or not, Persephone. This match can really go any way.

(Ding! Ding! Ding!)

James Peters: And here we go! This match is underway, and both men immediately begin to circle the ring! In a match like this with two super athletic wrestlers I can see why these two are waiting to see who’ll strike first, AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT’LL BE JUSTIN WHO GOES FOR A CLOTHESLINE- AND CHRIS DODGES IT WITH AN AMAZING BACKFLIP EVASION! JUSTIN TURNS AROUND, AND CHRIS GOES AFTER HIM WITH A CLOTHESLINE OF HIS OWN, BUT JUSTIN COUNTERS IT WITH THE SAME BACKFLIP EVASION! This is exactly what I was talking about! The two men now waiting to see who’ll make a move, AND THEY BOTH GO AFTER EACH OTHER, LOCKING UP WITH A COLLAR AND ELBOW TIE UP!

Rich Russillo: Chris Elite pushes Justin Windgate up against the ropes, and the referee is forced to start his count- but he doesn’t get too far as Justin is able to break his arms free and get Chris in a headlock, pushing himself and Chris away from the ropes to prevent a break! Chris manages to lift Justin up though, and Justin lands on his feet- JUST FOR CHRIS TO GO FOR THE HEAD SHOT- WHICH DOESN’T CONNECT! JUSTIN AVOIDED IT, BUT CHRIS IS ABLE TO BARELY LAND ON HIS FEET! JUSTIN NOW GOES FOR A ROUNDHOUSE KICK, BUT CHRIS DUCKS UNDER IT BEFORE ATTEMPTING AN ENZUIGIRI!

James Peters: That doesn’t connect, and now Justin grabs Chris and pulls him off the mat with a front facelock! Justin lifts Chris up, AND JUSTIN WAS GOING FOR A SUPEX BUT CHRIS SLIPPED BEHIND HIM! Chris tried to pull Justin into a backslide pin, but Justin escaped it immediately! Chris is able to capitalize quickly though, AS HE LIFTS JUSTIN UP FOR A POWERBOMB- WAIT NO! JUSTIN ROLLS THROUGH, PULLING CHRIS ELITE INTO A SUNSET FLIP PIN!

ONE!

T-

Rich Russillo: CHRIS ELITE KICKS OUT, AND HE IMMEDIATELY HITS JUSTIN WITH A FRONT DROPKICK, SENDING BOTH BOOTS RIGHT INTO JUSTIN’S FACE! Justin holds his face in pain as he rolls back up to his feet, and Chris grabs Justin before sending him into the corner! Chris now charges in, BUT JUSTIN POPS CHRIS UP ABOVE HIM, CAUSING CHRIS TO LAND UP ON THE TOP ROPE! Both men turn to their opponents- BUT JUSTIN IS ABLE TO STRIKE FIRST AS HE CONNECTS WITH A FOREARM TO CHRIS ELITE!

Persephone: They better hurry up and finish this match. I’ve sat through way too many horrible matches that could’ve been waayyyy shorter.

James Peters: Justin Windgate climbs up to the top rope with Chris up there, and I think this is a little early in the match for what he’s going for! Chris was caught with that forearm, and he doesn’t exactly know where he is! Justin Windgate has something big in mind, AND THERE IT IS!!! HURRICANRANA FROM THE TOP ROPE BY JUSTIN WINDGATE!!! JUSTIN WINDGATE JUST DELIVERED A HURRICANRANA FROM UP TOP, AND… Wait a minute :comeagain:!

Rich Russillo: CHRIS ELITE LANDED ON HIS FEET!!! HOW DID HE DO THAT!?!? Chris Elite was sent flying off of the top rope with a huge hurricanrana, and somehow he actually managed to land on his feet! We’re only at the beginning of this match pretty much, but already these two have been extremely impressive! Justin Windgate gets back up to his feet, AND AS SOON AS HE TURNS AROUND CHRIS ELITE CHARGES IN, BEFORE CHARGING IN AND DELIVERING A HUGE RUNNING EUROPEAN UPPERCUT! Chris Elite sweeping Justin into a seated position, AND NOW HE CHARGES INTO THE OPPOSITE CORNER BEFORE RUNNING IN! HAWK EM-

James Peters: NO! JUSTIN MANAGED TO ROLL OUT OF THE WAY! Chris stumbles out of the corner after both knees crashed into the turnbuckles, AND JUSTIN HITS CHRIS IN THE JAW WITH A HUGE SUPERKICK! Chris stumbles down to a knee, AND JUSTIN HITS A SECOND SUPERKICK! Chris Elite is down temporarily, and he’s able to recover pretty quickly as the match didn’t go very long yet, Justin has the match in his hands right now! Justin grabs Chris and gets him in a front facelock- WAIT A SECOND! CHRIS TRIES TO LIFT JUSTIN UP FOR A NORTHERN LIGHTS SUPLEX- BUT JUSTIN IS ABLE TO COUNTER IT WITH A HUGE DDT, CAUSING CHRIS ELITE TO HAVE TO ROLL OUT OF THE RING TO RECOVER!

Persephone: I get this match has EAW Championship contendership on the line but this still isn’t anything special to me. Rexy could’ve done better flips than both Justin and Chris combined. 

Rich Russillo: Chris is slowly finding his way back up following that huge DDT, and it looks like Justin Windgate has something huge in mind! JUSTIN RUNS THE ROPES AS CHRIS GETS BACK UP TO HIS FEET, AND HE GOES FOR A FOSBURY FLOP!!!

James Peters: WAIT!! CHRIS DUCKS UNDER IT AND JUMPS ONTO THE RING APRON! JUSTIN MANAGED TO LAND ON HIS FEET BUT IT LOOKS LIKE THAT’LL HURT HIM MORE THAN HELP HIM IN THIS CASE, BECAUSE CHRIS ELITE TAKES JUSTIN DOWN WITH A HUGE SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT!! Chris Elite with a fantastic way to get back into this match, and to make it even better Chris actually managed to land on his feet with that moonsault! The crowd is on their feet right now, and Justin is definitely the fan favorite here but it’s undeniable just how talented these two are!

Persephone: Ehhh… If they were that talented they wouldn’t have both lost at Pain for Pride. To the one of the worst EAW Champions ever and someone not even good enough to become World Champion nonetheless.

Rich Russillo: Chris rolls Justin back into the ring before climbing back onto the apron, AND THERE’S A HUGE SPRINGBOARD BACK ELBOW BY CHRIS AS SOON AS JUSTIN GETS BACK UP! CHRIS ELITE NOW RUSHING OVER TO JUSTIN, AND HE GOES FOR THE COVER TO POTENTIALLY PUT JUSTIN AWAY AND FACE DRAKE KING AT BLOODSPORT!

ONE!

TWO-

Rich Russillo: KICK OUT BY JUSTIN WINDGATE!

James Peters: Chris Elite looks a little frustrated to see Justin kick out, but not frustrated enough to let that slow him down! Instead Chris quickly runs the ropes, AND HE GOES FOR A SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT ONTO THE GROUNDED JUSTIN, BUT JUSTIN MANAGED TO ROLL OUT OF THE WAY! Chris landed flat on his stomach, and that gave Justin exactly the type of time he needed to recover! Justin manages to crawl towards the ropes to pull himself up while Chris finds his way back up to his feet, AND NOW AS SOON AS CHRIS TURNS AROUND, JUSTIN CHARGES IN AND DELIVERS A DISCUS FOREARM!

Rich Russillo: Justin Windgate now running the ropes, AND HE GOES FOR A HUGE KICK BUT CHRIS DUCKS UNDER IT WHILE GRABBING ONTO JUSTIN’S LEFT LEG- BUT WAIT A MINUTE! JUSTIN USED HIS RIGHT LEG TO JUMP BACK AND DELIVER A KICK TO THE BACK OF CHRIS’ HEAD! Some innovative offense there by Justin Windgate, and this has been an extremely back and forth match so far! I’ll be honest, I have no idea who I see winning this match! At this point it can really go either way! Either man can face Drake at Bloodsport!

Persephone: Or… NEITHER of them can face Drake and instead we can bring Rexy back to kill him :drakelike:!

James Peters: Chris Elite is finding his way back to his feet, and Justin tries to pull him up, BUT CHRIS DELIVERS A SHOT TO THE MIDSECTION! Justin in return sends a forearm to Chris’ jaw, and now Chris hits Justin with a forearm in return- WAIT NO! JUSTIN GRABBED ONTO THE ARM AND HE GOES FOR A SHORT ARM CLOTHESLINE- BUT CHRIS DUCKS UNDER IT! Justin turning towards Chris, AND CHRIS ELITE GOES FOR THE BOX OFFICE SMASH- WAIT NO! JUSTIN JUST DUCKED DOWN AND POPPED CHRIS UP INTO A POWERBOMB POSITION! SIT-OUT POWERBOMB BY JUSTIN WINDGATE, AND THERE’S THE PIN!

ONE!

TWO!!

T-

Rich Russillo: CHRIS ELITE IS OUT OF IT! SOMEHOW CHRIS KICKED OUT OF THAT POWERBOMB BEFORE THREE! The crowd pretty much exploded for that kick out, that’s how much they’re into this! 

Persephone: I don’t see how they’re so into a match between the #Midcard4Life crackhead Justin Windgate and one of the biggest failures in EAW Hall of Fame history Chris Elite, but whatever. I guess not everyone can be blessed with the amazing taste in talent I have :wow:.

James Peters: You mean Rex McAllister and Veena Adams?

Persephone: Yes.

James Peters: 🙄 Anyways, Justin Windgate is calling for Chris Elite to get back up to his feet, and he must have something in mind here! Chris is slowly getting up, and that’s not good if Chris wants to become the next EAW Champion! JUSTIN GRABS ONTO CHRIS BEFORE CHARGING INTO THE CORNER, AND HE GOES FOR THE RUN IT UP- WAIT NO! CHRIS PUSHES JUSTIN UP WHILE HE’S ON THE TOP ROPE, CAUSING JUSTIN TO HAVE TO BALANCE HIMSELF UP TOP TO STOP HIMSELF FROM FALLING OUT TO RINGSIDE!

Rich Russillo: AND THAT JUST GAVE CHRIS ELITE THE OPENING HE NEEDED! CHRIS JUST RAN UP TO THE TOP ROPE, AND NOW THERE’S A GERMAN SUPLEX OFF THE TOP ROPE!!!! Chris Elite with an incredible show of strength, sending Justin pretty much across the ring with an amazing avalanche german suplex! Chris Elite is showing exactly why he deserves to face Drake King at Bloodsport!

Persephone: Too bad he didn’t show it at the biggest show of the year :francis:. 

James Peters: Are you just mad that SOSA won the match?

Persephone: No, why would I be?

James Peters: Because he’s the one that dethroned R-

Persephone: SHUT UP! Don’t even continue.

Rich Russillo: Chris Elite quickly rushes over to Justin Windgate after that german suplex, AND HE FOLLOWS IT UP WITH THE FUSION DANCE! THE ELECTRIC CHAIR DRIVER CONNECTS ON JUSTIN WINDGATE! This was an extremely competitive match, but it might be over and done with after that move! I can’t even imagine how much damage that just did! Chris Elite now with the cover, and there’s no way that’s not the end of the match!

ONE!

TWO!!

THR-

Persephone: Looks like there is a way, because Justin just got the shoulder up :francis:.

James Peters: NOW Chris looks annoyed. Those were two huge moves back to back and somehow none of it was enough to get the job done against Justin Windgate. That’s just insane. Chris Elite is just shaking his head, and it looks like he might have something else in mind! Justin Windgate might’ve been better off just taking the loss, because I don’t know how much bigger you can get than an avalanche German suplex and the Fusion Dance back to back! Chris is climbing up to the top rope!!

Rich Russillo: AIMIN FOR THE MOON!!!! THE SPIRAL TAP-

James Peters: DOESN’T CONNECT!!!

Rich Russillo: IT DOES CONNECT, BUT NOT WHERE CHRIS WANTED IT TO!! JUSTIN WINDGATE MANAGED TO GET THE KNEES UP, AND CHRIS LANDED BACK FIRST RIGHT ONTO THEM! That had to hurt! Chris Elite landed right onto Justin’s knees- AND NOW JUSTIN GRABS CHRIS BEFORE PULLING HIM INTO A GROUNDED SLEEPER HOLD! THE SLEEPER HOLD IS LOCKED IN ON CHRIS ELITE! Chris landed on his back there, but after all the wear and tear his body received on top of his exhaustion after all those high risk moves, how long can he really last in this submission!?

Persephone: Hopefully not long at all. Chris is trying to fight out of the submission, but it’s not like he really put much effort into any of his other matches for the past three years so I don’t know why he’d start now. 

James Peters: Chris is trying to reach out towards the ropes, but I don’t think he’ll be getting to them! He’s too far away to make it to the ropes right now! He either has to somehow pull himself towards them or actually escape the submission!

Rich Russillo: Chris pulls himself up to one foot, AND HE BACKPEDALS INTO THE CORNER, CAUSING JUSTIN TO CRASH INTO THE TURNBUCKLES. CHRIS RUNNING INTO THE OPPOSITE CORNER AS JUSTIN FALLS INTO A SEATED POSITION, AND THERE’S HAWK EM! IT ACTUALLY CONNECTS THIS TIME, BUT CHRIS ISN’T FINISHED THERE!

Persephone: Oh my God, THEY’RE NEVER FINISHED THERE! They always wanna do something extra and that’s why they end up losing.

Rich Russillo: Chris is lifting Justin up onto his shoulders, AND NOW HE CHARGES INTO CORNER! 44 BULLDOG BY CHRIS ELITE!!! CHRIS ELITE WITH THE HUGE LAWN DART-

James Peters: IT DIDN’T CONNECT! JUSTIN MANAGED TO JUMP ONTO THE MIDDLE ROPE! CHRIS IS TRYING TO GO BACK AFTER JUSTIN, BUT JUSTIN MANAGES TO GRAB ONTO CHRIS BEFORE RUNNING UP TOP AND DIVING BACKWARDS! RUN IT UP!!!! JUSTIN WINDGATE SOMEHOW MANAGED TO TURN WHAT WOULD’VE BEEN A HUGE LAWN DART INTO THE RUN IT UP, AND NOW JUSTIN HOOKS THE LEGS! THIS COULD BE JUSTIN’S CHANCE TO GO AND WIN HIS FIRST EVER WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP!!!

ONE!

TWO!!

THRE-

Persephone: :noah: AND CHRIS ELITE KICKED OUT ONCE AGAIN!! This doesn’t make any sense. Why do they keep kicking out!?!? This isn’t a Rexy match, it doesn’t need to last this long. 

James Peters: This is just how much these two want the EAW Championship! We were always going to get a fantastic match, but now these two are fighting for a shot at the World title!

Rich Russillo: Justin Windgate is surprised to see Chris Elite kick out after all that these two have been through in this match, and sooner or later one of these two will have to give in. I just don’t know who it’ll be! Right now Justin Windgate is in control of this match though, and it looks like he’s making his way up to the top rope!

James Peters: WAIT!! JUSTIN WAS GETTING HIMSELF PREPARED ON THE TOP ROPE, AND CHRIS ELITE JUST PUSHED THE TOP ROPE, CAUSING JUSTIN TO LOSE HIS BALANCE AND GET STUCK UP TOP! Chris Elite taking some time to recover, and he’s clearly still hurting from the Run it Up as he holds his back, but somehow he managed to save this match for himself! It’s insane just how far these two are going just for an opportunity at that title, but these are two of the most talented Elitists we have! 

Rich Russillo: Chris Elite is trying to find his way up top, AND HE HITS JUSTIN WITH A FOREARM! AND ANOTHER FOREARM! AND A THIRD! Chris Elite making his way up to the top rope with Justin, AND JUSTIN HITS AN ELBOW TO THE SIDE OF CHRIS’ HEAD! Both men are going back and forth right now, and I have to say I don’t really like the looks of things right now! This is getting extremely dangerous, and these are two already high risk Elitists! Lord knows just what they’ll do for this EAW Championship opportunity, especially after all they’ve ALREADY done.

Persephone: The only good outcome of this would be these two killing themselves so we never have to see them again. 

James Peters: Chris now standing up top as he pulls Justin Windgate up, and this right here might just end the match! These two have been in tons of hellacious matches, but if Chris connects with what he’s looking to connect with right now, I don’t see how Justin Windgate survives! Chris Elite is going to win this match and face Drake for the EAW Championship at Bloodsport! That’s gotta be it! That’s how this ends!

Rich Russillo: SPANISH FLY OFF THE TOP ROPE!!!!

James Peters: :krabs: WAIT, WHAT!?!?

Rich Russillo: :krabs: BY JUSTIN WINDGATE!!!! JUSTIN WINDGATE JUST SENT BOTH HIMSELF AND CHRIS ELITE OUT TO RINGSIDE WITH A TOP ROPE SPANISH FLY!!! JUSTIN WINDGATE JUST SACRIFICED HIMSELF TO TAKE OUT CHRIS ELITE!!! JUSTIN IS DOWN! CHRIS IS DOWN! BOTH MEN ARE DOWN AND OUT AT RINGSIDE, AND THIS MATCH MIGHT JUST END WITH A COUNTOUT! THERE’S NO WAY EITHER MAN HAS IT IN THEM TO CONTINUE AFTER THAT! This was a fantastic match, but it’s about to come to an end right here and now!

Referee: ONE!…

Persephone: Can the referee just do a fast count? We all know neither of them can get back into the ring. They’re done. Just ring the bell already.

Referee: TWO!… THREE!…

James Peters: :lupe: I’d hate to see this match end like this, but I’m not so sure there’s any other choice. These two have really put each other through hell, and that might just cause this match to end in a no contest. What does that mean for Bloodsport? Do we just have no EAW Championship match?

Referee: FOUR!… FIVE!…

Rich Russillo: Both men are somehow beginning to stir, but I don’t think they have enough time to get back into the ring with the state they’re in.

Referee: SIX!…. SEVEN!…

James Peters: I hate to say it Rich, but you might be right. They might not be able to make it!

Persephone: :whew: 

Referee: EIGHT!…. NINE!…

James Peters: Both men are trying to pull themselves up, but there’s not enough time!

Referee: TEN-

Rich Russillo: WAIT, WAIT A SECOND!!!! THEY DID IT!!!! CHRIS ELITE AND JUSTIN WINDGATE BOTH MANAGED TO SLIDE BACK INTO THE RING JUST BEFORE THREE!!! THEY’RE BOTH STILL IN THIS MATCH! HOW!?!?

James Peters: That couldn’t have come any closer without this match coming to an end! I’m sure both men are relieved after making it inside of the ring, but this match isn’t over just yet! They still have a lot more work to do if they want to put this match to an end! They clearly want that Championship match more than anything, and at this rate things could really go either way! Both men are slowly finding their way back up to their feet, but you can see just how much pain they’re in! Surely they can’t take much more, right-

Rich Russillo: BOX OFFICE SMASH!!! THE SUPERKICK CONNECTS-

Persephone: With the referee’s jaw 🙄.

James Peters: :lupe: The referee was checking on both men after the Spanish fly, and Chris attempted to hit Justin right as the referee was checking on him! Justin managed to avoid it, and that caused Chris to hit the referee with that huge superkick! That was one of Chris’ finishing moves! That was one of the most powerful moves in his arsenal, and now there’s no ref-

Rich Russillo: JUSTIN DOESN’T CARE! HE GRABS ONTO CHRIS, AND IT LOOKS LIKE HE’S ABOUT TO TRY AND GET THE UPPER HAND! RUN IT UP BY JUSTIN WINDGATE-

James Peters: DOESN’T CONNECT!!! CHRIS MANAGED TO FLIP JUSTIN WAY OVER HIM AND ONTO HIS FEET, AND NOW CHRIS CHARGES AT JUSTIN BEFORE GOING FOR A LARIAT, WHICH DOESN’T CONNECT! Justin Windgate ducked under it before running the ropes, AND HE GOES FOR A SPRINGBOARD KICK- BUT CHRIS MANAGED TO DUCK UNDER IT! CHRIS NOW GOING FOR A JUMPING CUTTER, BUT JUSTIN PUSHES CHRIS AWAY AND INTO THE ROPES BEFORE GOING FOR A GERMAN SUPLEX, JUST FOR CHRIS ELITE TO LAND ON HIS FEET! How are these two doing this!?

Persephone: Don’t know, don’t care.

Rich Russillo: Chris Elite lifts Justin Windgate up, AND HE GOES FOR A FALCON ARROW, BUT JUSTIN IS ABLE TO TWIST HIMSELF OUT OF IT AND LAND ON HIS FEET! JUSTIN WINDGATE WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK, DUCKED BY CHRIS ELITE! CHRIS ELITE WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK OF HIS OWN, AND JUSTIN WINDGATE MANAGES TO DUCK THAT AS WELL! JUSTIN WINDGATE ATTEMPTS TO SWING AT CHRIS WITH A CLOTHESLINE, BUT CHRIS DUCKS UNDER IT BEFORE GRABBING JUSTIN FROM BEHIND! CHRIS ELITE WITH THE RIPCORD SETUP ON JUSTIN WINDGATE, AND HE GOES FOR THE I’LL SMACK THE SH-

James Peters: NO!! JUSTIN WINDGATE MANAGED TO DUCK UNDER THE SLAP, AND NOW HE’S THE ONE THAT HAS CHRIS IN THE RIPCORD SET UP! JUSTIN WINDGATE LOOKING FOR A RIPCORD LARIAT- BUT THAT DOESN’T CONNECT THANKS TO CHRIS, WHO HITS JUSTIN IN THE FACE WITH A BOOT SO HARD IT CAUSES HIM TO BACK UP INTO THE ROPES!!

Rich Russillo: BOX OFFICE SMASH!!!!

James Peters: THE BOX OFFICE SMASH CONNECTS!!! CHRIS HITS THE SUPERKICK SO HARD IT CAUSES JUSTIN TO SPIN AROUND, AND NOW CHRIS DROPS TO THE CANVAS ALONG WITH JU-

Rich Russillo: WAIT, WHAT!?!?

James Peters: CLASSIC ENDING!!!!

Rich Russillo: CHRIS HIT JUSTIN WITH THE BOX OFFICE SMASH, BUT JUST AS BOTH MEN WERE ABOUT TO DROP TO THE CANVAS JUSTIN WAS ABLE TO HIT THE CLASSIC ENDING! THE REVERSE CUTTER JUST CAME OUT OF NOWHERE, BUT THERE’S NOBODY TO COUNT THE PIN!!!!

(Suddenly, a second referee comes running down to the ring, causing the crowd to cheer.)

James Peters: YES THERE IS!!! A NEW REFEREE IS HERE, AND HE QUICKLY COUNTS THE PIN!!!

ONE!

TWO!!

(As the referee reaches three, he realizes that Justin and Chris actually both have an arm over one another.)

THREE!!!

(Ding! Ding! Ding!)

Bella Braxton: HERE IS YOUR WINNER….. Um… :comeagain:!

James Peters: Um….

Rich Russillo: Who won????

Persephone: :francis:

(The original referee slowly gets up, and the second referee talks to him while pointing at the titantron, showing a replay of the pinfall where both men’s shoulders were down, but they were both pinning each other thanks to the arm.)

Referee 1: (off-mic) :lupe: I think that’s Justin.

Referee 2: (off-mic) No, no that’s gotta be Chris, right?

Referee 1: (off-mic) No, it’s clearly Justin. Just look.

Referee 2: (off-mic) What do you mean look??? I’m looking, it’s a double pin!

Referee 1: (off-mic) 🤷‍♂️

(Both Chris and Justin slowly get to their feet, and as they were recovering, they managed to catch the replay of the double pin on the titantron. Needless to say, neither of them look happy at all with the outcome of the match.)

Chris Elite: (off-mic) :comeagain: Nah, y’all better sort this out. I clearly won.

Justin Windgate: (off-mic) No you didn’t. I should be going on to face Drake right now. Not you. 

(Both men get up in each other’s faces as the arguing continues, until finally Chris shoves Justin. Justin shoves Chris back, but just before the two could really begin fighting again, ‘Self Help Tape’ by Moses Sumney hits. The crowd begins cheering as Captain Charisma walks down to the stage, and he has a microphone in his hand. Both of the referee’s walk up to the Voltage Commissioner and tell him what the situation is between Justin and Chris, and Captain Charisma just nods his head before turning his attention towards the Elitists.)

Captain Charisma: Wow. Gotta say, you two did great. This is exactly the type of match I was hoping for when I put this match together, and you still managed to surpass my expectations. I really didn’t expect a whole double pin situation especially with EAW Championship contendership on the line, but don’t worry. I’m going to sort this out next week. We’re going to find a solution.

Chris Elite: (off-mic)  NEXT WEEK?? :skip:

Justin Windgate: (off-mic) :wtf: Why next week? I won!

Chris Elite: (off-mic) :comeagain: Bro no you didn’t. 

(Chris and Justin are clearly about to start fighting again, and this doesn’t make Captain Charisma happy.)

Captain Charisma: BOTH OF YOU, go to the back and stop fighting right now! I told you guys I’d sort this out next week, but if you don’t stop then *neither* of you will be facing Drake.

(With that said, both Justin and Chris stop fighting. They’re both annoyed and pissed off, but they slowly make their way out of the ring as ‘Self Help Tape’ hits once again.)

James Peters: So there we have it! Looks like we’ll know the EAW Championship match’s future in just one week’s time!

Persephone: That’s way too long of a wait just for an answer that isn’t “Rex McAllister is returning to face Drake”. 

(As the two Elitists make their way up the ramp and to the backstage area, Voltage fades away from ringside.)  

[ SCREEN BAR – EARLIER THIS WEEK ]

( The scene opens up inside of Ocho’s, one of the most popular restaurants on San Antonio’s famous Riverwalk. It also happens to be the setting for Sofia Clarke’s interview with arguably Voltage’s biggest acquisition in the draft, Jamie O’Hara. The two EAW personalities are sat in one corner of the restaurant, with it being closed to patrons due to EAW filming. Brunch and mimosas have been served, and it’s a pretty relaxed atmosphere. Sofia looks across at Jamie and gives him a smile. )

Sofia Clarke: I want to thank you for joining me today, Jamie.

Jamie O’Hara: No worries.

( With the pleasantries out of the way, Sofia gets down to business. )

Sofia Clarke: So with a new season upon us, what can we expect to see from ‘The Ace’ of Elite Answers Wrestling?

Jamie O’Hara: Truthfully…I just don’t know. What I thought people would be expecting from me two weeks ago is wildly different to what I thought people would be expecting from me two months ago. Every time I ‘think’ of what my tomorrow is going to be I always end up remaining exactly where I have always been, I never do anything differently. If there’s anything that I could say about what people can expect from me…it’s nothing. Nothing out of the ordinary. Nothing any different to what they have seen for years on end. No matter the challenges that come with this season, no matter who thinks they ‘rule’ this brand, it’s Jamie O’Hara’s world they’re living in and it’s best that they don’t forget it.

Sofia Clarke: I’m sure that you were understandably disappointed with the outcome of your Pain for Pride match against Kassidy Heart. She tormented you and brought your family into the equation and forced you to do something that has never happened in your seven year career. Can you walk us through the closing minutes of that match?

Jamie O’Hara: I have had the unfortunate pleasure of being beaten into a hospital bed plenty of times throughout my career but not once have I felt like I was being tortured like that. Not once have I ever felt like I was at someone else’s mercy, not once have I ever felt like I had to consider some long term ramifications of a stubborn ego getting in the way. I never wanted to tap. I never wanted to quit. I never wanted to give that match away but after I saw what happened on Showdown before Pain For Pride I realised just what my future would be had I allowed my ego to stand firm. I wouldn’t be able to hold my boy in my left arm, I wouldn’t be able to live a normal life and if I had any urge left to return to this company – as it turns out, I did – that wouldn’t be possible. So I swallowed my pride. I decided to strip myself of something that I felt immense pride in being able to say, something that I would never get back. And I tapped. For my son’s sake, for my sake.

( Sofia can’t help but react to Jamie’s statement. She, along with the rest of the EAW Universe, will never forget the closing moments of Jamie’s Answers World Championship match. The image of him looking at little Hathaway, nestled in his mother’s arms, is an image that will live on forever in EAW history. )

Sofia Clarke: Ugh, putting professionalism to the side for a moment, my heart was absolutely broken as you looked into your baby boy’s during that moment.

Jamie O’Hara: In a lot of ways, looking at him was more traumatic than my shoulder being ripped from the socket. It was a night that started with him being able to watch his mother realise her dream and ended with his father being bloodied and victimised by someone else. I couldn’t really bear the idea of having him watch that any longer.

Sofia Clarke: How has fatherhood changed you?

Jamie O’Hara: It made me realise that there’s more to this world than just this business. For the longest time I was so caught up in my own desires, my own interests, my own story. And even when I met Cameron, when we fell in love, all of that was still so heavily tied to this business; we were that power couple who had each other’s backs throughout so many ups and downs here. But Hathaway…Hathaway isn’t as closely tied to this business. He’s perhaps the first and only part of my life away from it all that has any kind of significance; he made me realise there’s more than just building this legacy. Now I don’t feel the need to risk my life, my health and or my safety for the sake of my legacy; anything that stops me from going home to be the father that I want to be is where Jamie O’Hara draws the line in his career going forward.

Sofia Clarke: You made your intentions clear that you wanted to walk away and focus on being a father to your son until Kassidy Heart came along. Why stay? Surely you don’t feel like you have anything left to prove?

( Jamie just shrugs at this. )

Jamie O’Hara: Can I even leave? I don’t know what it is, I don’t know why it happens but like I already said, I always find myself right back in these kinds of seats with someone asking me really similar questions. I guess I’m staying because this is where I belong. So much of who I am is still tied to this place and that’s not going to change anytime soon, no matter how much I may try to convince myself otherwise. I’m staying because I’m no longer going to resist where I am, what I’m doing and where I’m going; if my path always leads me back to Elite Answers Wrestling then so be it, I’ll keep coming back time and time again. And you’re right, I have nothing to prove. Nothing at all. Regardless of Pain For Pride I am still the Ace of this company, I am still at the very top of it all. And no matter who runs around claiming it to be “their time”, it exists in my era; their “kingdom” exists in my world. One defeat will never change that. One way or another, whether its by becoming the EAW World Champion or anything else, I will make sure that none forget it.

Sofia Clarke: I find it exciting to have you on Voltage. Who are you hoping to face off against? Any particular people you want to step into the ring with?

Jamie O’Hara: Voltage feels like the best new chapter I’ve had in years. For the first time since 2016 I’m stepping onto a brand where I don’t have an immediate target to aim for or immediately being a target myself. The few people I’ve crossed paths with before are from the past, rivalries and battles that are long behind me. Renewing them excites me, just for the sake of being able to see how little has truly changed. In terms of new faces? It’s the same as it always is, an excitement to challenge and ultimately defeat them.

Sofia Clarke: I’m going to say a few names. I want to know the first thing that pops into your mind.

( Jamie can’t help but crack a smile because this could surely be interesting. )

Sofia Clarke: Chris Elite.

Jamie O’Hara: Fortunate to beat me once but it’s never going to happen again. For lack of a better word, let’s just say he’s good fodder.

Sofia Clarke: IDOL-GUN.

Jamie O’Hara: Fastest rising stars this company has had since…well….me. :troll:

Sofia Clarke: Justin Windgate.

Jamie O’Hara: Old toker who I hope someday realises all that he ever dreamed of.

Sofia Clarke: Ms. Extreme.

Jamie O’Hara: My least favourite Ava but an Ava nonetheless, so she’s family. I’ve always got her back if she needs it and I know full well that she’ll have mine.

Sofia Clarke: Raven Roberts.

Jamie O’Hara: Tremendously talented and this season could be anything for her. 

Sofia Clarke: And of course, New Eden :mjgrin:

Jamie O’Hara: Temporary. Fleeting. Brief. Only O’Hara remains; everything else fades away in the end and they aren’t an exception.

Sofia Clarke: Any final thoughts, Jamie? Any messages you want to send to the Voltage roster or just anyone in this company in general?

Jamie O’Hara: I’m sure many are going to convince themselves that the person sitting in this chair is a broken down husk of the Ace but I can assure you that could not be any further from the truth. And if anyone wants to have that mindset when they step in the ring with me? By all means, but if you’re so fixated on what happened at Pain For Pride, then look at last week at the draft when I defeated Jake Smith. The Ace is going nowhere and if there is anything that is consistent in my career is that the Ace ALWAYS finds himself back to the very top of it all. The next twelve months won’t be any different and anyone who takes issue with that? You know exactly where to find me.

( That trademark confidence shines through in Jamie’s voice, and Sofia can’t help but grin. Voltage has just gotten even better with the addition of ‘The Ace’, and no doubt the fans are excited as well. )

Sofia Clarke: Thank you for your time.

( Jamie simply nods and the scene fades to black. )

(Voltage returns to ringside as Bella Braxton is seen standing at the center of the ring ready to call the final match)

Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen, the following is your MAIN EVENT!!! And it is a Champion versus Champion bout scheduled for…

Crowd: ONE FALL!!!

(‘Cold War’ by Hans Zimmer plays up to a deafening amount of boos from the crowd in response as Drake King is seen making his way out to the stage. He’s dragging the EAW World Championship behind him as it’s apparent that he’s unhappy, it doesn’t help to see the crowd in attendance at all. He takes a deep breath before shaking his head as he makes his way down the ramp and towards the ring)

Bella Braxton: Introducing first… residing in The Dead Sea… weighing in at 220 pounds… he is the EAW WORLD CHAMPION!!!!!!!!!!! THE LAST MESSIAH… DRAKE THE REDEEMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rich Russillo: Well I think the frustration on Drake’s face is self explanatory. Earlier in the night New Eden vented their frustrations on a lot of things regarding the Voltage brand, especially being drafted last taking into consideration their Championship status. It didn’t help that they were interrupted by Justin Windgate and Chris Elite that got into so much of an argument that Captain Charisma made their match a Number One Contendership match for the EAW World Championship.

James Peters: It’s apparent that it made Drake’s blood boil and he’s bringing that anger into this match. He has a lot on his hands tonight in the main event tonight when he goes up against a formidable opponent. But it’s clear at the same time that he has other things on his mind.

Persephone: God who cares, but let’s speak facts. No matter how much I like him or not, I think he did us a favor beating that fatfuck Xander Payne last week. The last thing I want him doing is representing Voltage as a World Champion, a part of me believed that this was the only logical solution.

James Peters: What does beating him in the main event have anything to do with him being on Voltage if he was a first round pick :dahell:.

Persephone: Destiny.

(Drake makes his way to the bottom rope and tosses the EAW World Championship over the top rope without a care in mind. He turns around and makes his way up the steel steps and onto the apron. He turns around and looks at the booing crowd in front of him, completely disgusted, before entering into the ring and making his way towards his corner. He scrunches his face for a good moment before getting ready for his match as ‘Cold War’ fades out from there)

(‘Zombie’ by Bad Wolves plays up as the negative reaction from the crowd turns into loud cheers as Ms. Extreme makes her way out to the ring. She has a smile on her face as she looks at the Universal Women’s Championship before patting it on her shoulder. She then takes it and raises it in the air with pure confidence before she makes her way down the ramp, still holding it high in the air as the crowd continues to cheer and show their support towards her)

Bella Braxton: And his opponent… from Calabasas, California… weighing in at 135 pounds… she is the EAW UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION!!!!!!!!!! THE RED QUEEN… MS. EXTREME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rich Russillo: Just as we can read the expression of Drake, I think it’s clear what’s on Ms. Extreme’s mind. She absolutely destroyed IDOL-GUN earlier in the night and I’m sure after what happened at the Draft that has to bring her great satisfaction.

James Peters: You have to question if that’s going to come back and bite her tonight, but I’m sure that’s not the thing that’s on her mind at the moment. She’s coming into this match with the intent to win and if there’s anything that stands in her way even if it’s her opponent tonight or IDOL-GUN, I’m sure she will not have a problem in the world taking care of them if it means getting what she wants as a result.

Persephone: I personally think the only thing they should be doing in that ring is professing their love to one another, it would be much better than whatever borefest of a match they’re about to have with one another. Admit it, they’re in love.

(Ms. Extreme makes her way up the steel steps and onto the apron, letting the crowd show their support as she hypes them up before entering into the ring. She turns and makes her way up to the turnbuckle, holding up her title once again with both hands before jumping off and down down the canvas. She then makes her way over over her corner to get ready as ‘Zombie’ fades out and the ref signals for the bell)

(DING! DING! DING!)

Rich Russillo: Here we go as your main event is officially underway! Both Drake and Ms. Extreme are slowly beginning to circle around the ring, taking their time and assessing the situation before they go at it. Both of them seem to be meeting up for a collar-and-elbow tie up to start this one, as they lock up! Both Drake and Ms. Extreme are jockeying for position, trying to get some sort of leverage as this match begins. Drake quickly locking in a headlock, putting the pressure on Ms. Extreme for a moment as she tries to find a way out of it! Drake attempting to drop all his weight to keep himself in place, BUT IT’S PROVEN INEFFECTIVE AS MS. EXTREME LIFTS DRAKE OFF THE GROUND AND DROPS HIM DOWN WITH A BACK SUPLEX TO THE CANVAS!

James Peters: What strength being shown by the Universal Women’s Champion! Drake is hurt but Ms. Extreme isn’t waiting, quickly transitioning and locking in a side headlock! The tables quickly turn in this match Drake trying his best to reach his legs out to the ropes in an attempt to take the easy way out of this with a rope break, but instead decides to bring his leg back and kick the back of Ms. Extreme’s head forcing the hold to break! Ms. Extreme grabbing her head as she staggers back up to her feet and turns around, DRAKE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF IT AS HE RUNS FORWARD AND TAKES HER DOWN TO THE MAT WITH A SLING BLADE!

Persephone: :yikes: This is boring, my suffering will pay off though if they kiss in the ring.

Rich Russillo: This is beginning to pick up and both of them realize that and seem to be adjusting their gameplan. Ms. Extreme slowly getting up, Drake is lurking though as he grabs her arm and sends her into an Irish whip towards the ropes! BUT MS. EXTREME RUNS THE ROPES AND CONNECTS WITH A CALF KICK BEFORE DRAKE CAN DO ANYTHING! Drake instead is taken down to the ground as it’s become apparent that both of them are not willing to give an inch especially in the opening moments of this Champion versus Champion bout. Drake rolls towards the bottom rope to help himself up to his feet before anything can go further south for him, BUT MS. EXTREME ISN’T STOPPING AS SHE SENDS ‘THE LAST MESSIAH’ OVER THE TOP ROPE WITH A VICIOUS CLOTHESLINE!

James Peters: Drake barely managing to land on the apron as opposed to tumbling to the outside, but Ms. Extreme isn’t letting him catch a break as she sends a forearm towards his face! But Drake quickly blocks it and sends one of his own as a counter! Ms. Extreme stumbles backwards stunned momentarily, BUT BEFORE SHE CAN FULLY RECOVER DRAKE SPRINGBOARDS OFF THE ROPES AND TAKES HER TO THE GROUND WITH A CLOTHESLINE! Ms. Extreme is hurting as Drake runs to the ropes and back while she brings herself up to a seated position, BUT SHE’S TAKEN BACK DOWN TO THE GROUND WITH A PENALTY KICK BY THE EAW WORLD CHAMPION!

Persephone: Careful, he might hear you. The poor little dude is sensitive and doesn’t like being called the Champion that much.

James Peters: Well, I think it’s much more than that :krabs:.

Persephone: It’s like I asked. 

Rich Russillo: Ms. Extreme is down but not for long, she’s making an attempt to swiftly get back up to her feet but I don’t think Drake approves much of that. She’s up, BUT DRAKE IS RIGHT BACK TO RUNNING LOOKING TO TAKE HER DOWN WITH A RUNNING FOREARM SMASH! But Ms. Extreme ducks under it and instead catches Drake with a side kick to his abdomen forcing him backwards! Drake grabbing onto his gut for a good moment but he’s still continuing to approach Ms. Extreme, BUT NOT BEFORE HE’S CAUGHT WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD! Drake grabs his head as he drops down to a knee, BUT BEFORE HE CAN GET BACK UP MS. EXTREME FOLLOWS UP WITH A BICYCLE KICK TO HIS HEAD TAKING HIM DOWN TO THE MAT!

James Peters: Both Drake and Ms. Extreme are going back and forth so far as it’s indecisive who has the upperhand at this point. Drake is grabbing at his face clearly hurt, but he’s already dragging himself back up before Ms. Extreme can continue to take advantage of the opportunity that she has in front of her. But that might be easier said than done, AS SOON AS DRAKE GETS UP MS. EXTREME GRABS HIM AND GOES FOR AN EXPLODER SUPLEX! But Drake manages to halt that before it’s too late as he sends elbow shots to the side of her head trying to get her to let go before impact! Ms. Extreme is finally forced to let go, she steps back but is attempting to get right back on the assault. BUT DRAKE SENDS A DISCUS LARIAT TO HER HEAD TO TAKE HER DOWN TO THE MAT!

(Ms. Extreme is taken down to the mat, grabbing her neck while Drake circles around her. No words need to be said, the simple gesture of Drake shaking his head in disappointment is all that’s needed)

Persephone: God they’re so weird.

Rich Russillo: Ms. Extreme is slowly beginning to drag herself up, it’s become clear in the process that Drake isn’t playing any games when it comes to this match. Drake grabbing Ms. Extreme by the arm as he pushes her against the ropes and sends her into an Irish whip, BEFORE TAKING HER BACK DOWN TO THE MAT BY SENDING A BACK ELBOW FLUSH TO THE BRIDGE OF HER NOSE! That had to hurt as it seems that Ms. Extreme is finding it hard at the moment to get back into this match with the offense of Drake King at the moment. But if there’s one thing we know about her, it’s not a foreign situation whatsoever. 

James Peters: Drake once again grabbing Ms. Extreme by the arm and sending her into an Irish whip, this time into the corner! Drake taking a step back and running forward, GOING FOR A JUMPING KNEE TOWARDS THE FACE OF A CORNERED MS. EXTREME! But she manages to move out of the way causing Drake to collide with the corner! Drake stumbles backwards trying to keep himself upwards, BUT MS. EXTREME GRABS HIM AND LIFTS HIM UP INTO THE AIR BEFORE DROPPING HIM FACE FIRST ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE WITH SNAKE EYES! Drake taken down to the mat while Ms. Extreme aims to go to the top rope, LOOKING TO FLY OFF THE TOP ROPE BEFORE DRAKE CAN FULLY RECOVER!

Persephone: HAH! Bitch took too long.

Rich Russillo: Whatever Ms. Extreme had planned she’s going to have to put it on hold for the time being, because Drake just rushed forward and joined her on the top rope! This is not a good situation for either of them as it looks like they’re wasting absolutely no time beginning to trade punches with one another! Both of them have no room for error on the top rope and they’re fighting like they’re lives depend on it! Ms. Extreme with a solid uppercut to the jaw of Drake to stun him momentarily, but Drake sends a headbutt to her skull! That had to hurt as Ms. Extreme seems to be off balance for a second, and I think Drake is taking advantage of that and setting her up.

James Peters: SUPERPLEX OFF THE TOP ROPE! DRAKE ISN’T DONE AS HE ROLLS THROUGH AND SEAMLESSLY TRANSITIONS INTO A FALCON ARROW! MS. EXTREME IS DOWN AS DRAKE HOOKS THE LEG AND GOES FOR A PIN ATTEMPT!

OOONNNEEE!!!

TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!

Persephone: Ugh, she kicked out.

Rich Russillo: Drake sitting back up knowing that it wasn’t enough, pulling himself back up to his feet and looking to continue to assault right now. Ms. Extreme is attempting to crawl up as fast as she can, but Drake is already praying on her as he brings her back up to her feet. BEFORE SENDING HER TO THE ROPES AND ONCE AGAIN CATCHING HER WITH ANOTHER SLING BLADE! But Ms. Extreme manages to move out of the way before it can happen and instead throw Drake to the ropes as a counter, BEFORE RUNNING TOWARDS HIM AND SENDING A KNEE TO HIS GUT AS HE’S PRESSED UP AGAINST THE CORNER! Ms. Extreme once again with an Irish whip, BEFORE TAKING DRAKE DOWN TO THE GROUND THIS TIME WITH A SWIFT KITCHEN SINK!

James Peters: Drake is taken down to the mat with a sickening thud as immediately he’s right out of the ring seeing the tides turn. Drake stumbling backwards towards the barricade and leaning against it for a second, now stepping forward and looking to slide into the ring. BUT MS. EXTREME OFF THE APRON FLYING OFF AND TAKING DRAKE DOWN WITH A BIG CROSSBODY! Drake is taken down to the mat as Ms. Extreme begins to send a flurry of punches downwards towards the face of Drake as he’s trying to block it to the best of his abilities! Drake shoving away as both of them are back up, AND DRAKE CATCHES MS. EXTREME WITH A SUPERKICK TO HER JAW! Drake attempting to get the upper hand, BUT MS. EXTREME PUSHES HIM AGAINST THE BARRICADE BEFORE ROLLING HIM BACK INTO THE RING! Ms. Extreme quickly sliding back into the ring while Drake is down.

Persephone: No worries guys, this is just how true love forms. Take it from me, an extraordinaire. 

Rich Russillo: Is that true?! 😍😍😍

Persephone: Nevermind, just keep commentating the fucking match.

Rich Russillo: WELL WHILE THAT WAS HAPPENING DRAKE QUICKLY RECOVERED AND DROPPED MS. EXTREME DOWN TO THE MAT WITH DAWN OF JUSTICE! THE PEDIGREE CONNECTS AS DRAKE TAKES ADVANTAGE AND WEARILY HOOKS THE LEG FOR A PIN ATTEMPT!

OOONNNEEE!!!

TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!

TTTTTHHHHHHRRRRRRRRR-

James Peters: NOT JUST YET AS MS. EXTREME GETS THE SHOULDER UP! I think it’s become pretty apparent that beating a World Champion isn’t going to be so easy for Drake in this match. Drake slowly pulling himself back up to his feet and waiting for Ms. Extreme to do the same thing. She brings herself up, but isn’t fast enough as Drake approaches and sends an overhand punch towards the back of her head! A simple but effective attack as Drake brings Ms. Extreme up, POSSIBLY GOING FOR A DDT TO DRILL HER HEAD TO THE GROUND! But she manages to push towards the ropes and force Drake to let go of the hold before he can fully execute it! Believe what you want about how this match is going so far, Ms. Extreme is not giving up for a second and showing her fighting spirit.

Persephone: I’d rather her give up rather than continue this depressing show. 

Rich Russillo: Now Ms. Extreme is taking advantage and completely unloading on Drake with punch after punch towards his face in hopes of leveling him! Drake attempts to block as much as he can, but the best he can do is shove her away! Drake trying to get some offense back in his corner running towards her, BUT MS. EXTREME GRABS HIM AND TAKES HIM DOWN TO THE MAT WITH A BELLY-TO-BELLY SUPLEX! Drake takes a hard tumble to the ground but brings himself up to a seated position, BUT HE’S TAKEN RIGHT BACK DOWN TO THE MAT AS MS. EXTREME CONNECTS WITH A KICK TO THE SIDE OF HIS HEAD TO TAKE HIM DOWN COMPLETELY!

James Peters: Drake grabbing his head and quickly rolling to the ropes trying to help himself up, BUT MS. EXTREME RUNS FORWARD AND SENDS A KNEE TO THE SIDE OF HIS HEAD! She’s putting the pressure on making sure that Drake can get absolutely zero offense in this match right now. Drake still managing to hold himself up leaning against the ropes, BUT MS. EXTREME ISN’T DONE AS SHE RUNS FORWARD AND CONNECTS WITH ANOTHER ONE TO TAKE HIM DOWN TO THE MAT!

Persephone: Maybe if you do more he’ll get brain damage, do it! Do it! It’ll be the only good thing you do adopted Ava!

Rich Russillo: Drake falling to the ground but he’s grabbing onto the bottom turnbuckle as much as he can. He’s slowly beginning to drag himself back up to his feet as Ms. Extreme begins to approach him. Drake is backed against the corner, BUT BEFORE HE CAN DO ANYTHING MS. EXTREME GOES FOR A CORNER CLOTHESLINE! Which Drake barely moves out of the way of! Ms. Extreme turning around before anything can happen, BUT IT’S TOO LATE AS DRAKE POPS HER UP ON HIS SHOULDERS AND SENDS HIM INTO THE TURNBUCKLE PADDING WITH A BUCKLE BOMB!

James Peters: Ms. Extreme is taken down to the ground but is slowly starting to stagger up to her feet. Drake is slowly waiting for her to get back up to her feet, AS HE KICKS HER IN THE GUT AND GOES FOR ASCENSION! DOUBLE UNDERHOOK FACEBUSTER ATTEMPT BY DRAKE KING TO TAKE MS. EXTREME DOWN TO THE MAT!

Persephone: Unfortunately, the move doesn’t connect and we have to sit through even more of this match; what a shame. 

Rich Russillo: BUT MS. EXTREME WITH ABSOLUTELY ABNORMAL STRENGTH MANAGES TO LIFT DRAKE OVER HER HEAD AND TAKE HER DOWN TO THE GROUND! Drake is hurt but is still getting back up to his feet, BUT BEFORE HE CAN EVEN LOOK UP MS. EXTREME TAKES HIM BACK DOWN WITH AN ENZUIGIRI! She brings him back up, BEFORE SENDING HIM TO THE ROPES AND BACK AND TAKING HIM DOWN WITH A FOREARM SMASH! Drake is clearly hurt but I think the adrenaline that continues to course through his veins is pushing him upwards, AS MS. EXTREME GOES FOR ANOTHER FOREARM SMASH! But Drake manages to duck under that, GOING FOR A JUMPING KNEE!

James Peters: BUT BEFORE HE CAN DO THAT MS. EXTREME TAKES DRAKE TO THE MAT WITH A SPINNING HEEL KICK! Drake is down but not out as he staggers back up to his feet, BUT IS TAKEN RIGHT DOWN TO THE MAT WITH AN EXPLODER SUPLEX THIS TIME!! Ms. Extreme has a flurry of offense at the moment as she sends Drake to the ropes with an Irish whip, but Drake manages to hold on before he rebounds and she can capitalize! BUT SHE ISN’T HAVING IT AS MS. EXTREME SENDS DRAKE OVER THE TOP ROPE ONCE AGAIN WITH A CLOTHESLINE BEFORE HE CAN DO ANYTHING TO COUNTER!

Persephone: Hopefully this means one of them can get counted out! You guys do know that there’s easier ways to end matches right?!

Rich Russillo: BUT DRAKE KNOWS BETTER AS HE LANDS ON THE APRON AND GRABS THE HEAD OF MS. EXTREME AS HE BRINGS HER ONTO THE APRON WITH HIM! Both of them are slowly getting up as its clear they’re in a tricky predicament at the moment. Drake sends a kick towards the gut of Ms. Extreme forcing her to double over on the apron, BUT MS. EXTREME GRABS DRAKE AND RAMS HIM SPINE FIRST INTO THE RINGPOST! Drake is clearly hurt but manages to keep a hold of his surroundings and stay on the apron for the time being. Both of them are back to trading punches back and forth in hopes of getting the upper hand, but Ms. Extreme shakes it up as she sends a sharp elbow strike to his nose! Ms. Extreme going for a side-kick to Drake’s gut! BUT DRAKE JUMPS OFF THE APRON AND SWEEPS THE LEG OF MS. EXTREME TAKING HER DOWN! Ms. Extreme manages to keep herself on the apron but she can barely stand at the moment.

James Peters: NO WAY! DRAKE WITH JUDGEMENT DAY! MS. EXTREME’S ENTIRE FACE WAS JUST CAVED INTO THE CANVAS BY A CURB STOMP COURTESY OF THE EAW WORLD CHAMPION! MS. EXTREME TUMBLES OFF THE APRON AND TO THE RINGSIDE AREA AS DRAKE HAS TO USE EVERY FIBER OF HIS BEING TO BRING HER BACK UP TO HER FEET AND ROLL HER BACK INTO THE RING! DRAKE HOOKS THE LEG AND GOES FOR THE PIN! COULD THIS POSSIBLY SPELL THE END OF THE MATCH RIGHT HERE?!

OOONNNEEE!!!

TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!

TTTTTTHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!




Persephone: FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK!

Rich Russillo: HOW MUCH DID THAT TAKE TO KICK OUT OF THAT! MS. EXTREME GETS THE SHOULDER UP JUST IN TIME! THIS MATCH CONTINUES! The sheer determination shows how much a win of this caliber would mean to her in the long run, and it’s apparent that she’s not going to give up. But Drake on the other hand doesn’t seem to approve of this as he’s back up to a seated position completely baffled why Ms. Extreme was able to kick out of such a move on the apron. Drake is back up to his feet as Ms. Extreme is slowly beginning to show some sign of life in the process. She’s up to all fours and I think Drake knows what he needs to do next. DRAKE RUNNING TO THE ROPES AND GOING FOR ONE MORE JUDGEMENT DAY! SECOND CURB STOMP ATTEMPT!

James Peters: But Ms. Extreme manages to move out of the way just in the nick of time! Drake meets nothing as he stumbles down to the ground, AND IS CAUGHT WITH A AXE KICK BY MS. EXTREME TO TAKE HIM DOWN TO THE GROUND! You can see the look of exhaustion on her face but even then she still hasn’t been able to be kept down by the EAW World Champion in this match no matter what she’s been put through.

Persephone: Why not use some explosives or something. Come on, I fail to see the purpose of ignoring me. I always have genius ideas, BLOW THEM UP!

Rich Russillo: Ms. Extreme is still feeling the effects of the Judgement Day Curb Stomp on the apron by Drake but if there’s one thing that we know, is that this match is going to finish when she says so. Ms. Extreme slowly climbing up to the top rope with as much energy as she has left, which just beckons the question: how much farther can she go in this match? It’s clear that she’s not done yet though as she finds herself on the top rope, setting up for a big move! MS. EXTREME LEAPING OFF THE TOP ROPE AND GOING FOR A SHOOTING STAR SENTON! WHAT A MOVE!

James Peters: BUT IT’S INEFFECTIVE AS DRAKE MANAGES TO GET THE KNEES UP BEFORE IT CAN CONNECT! That impact had to hurt as Ms. Extreme is rolling around in a world of hurt, AND DRAKE IS TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THAT AS HE DROPS DOWN AND LOCKS THE UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION INTO SCRIPTURE AT THE CENTER OF THE RING! The Koji Clutch is locked in and if there’s one way to win this match, it’s by submitting your opponent! And I think that’s exactly what Drake has planned right now as he pulls back on the head of Ms. Extreme! Ms. Extreme is trying her best to reach out to the ropes but as mentioned before she’s dead at the center of the ring, I don’t think she has much options in front of her at the moment!

Persephone: BREAK HER NECK! BREAK HER NECK!

Rich Russillo: Drake is screaming at the top of his lungs trying to get Ms. Extreme to tap out to the move but she isn’t giving up! The ref is asking her if she’s going to tap but Ms. Extreme is screaming at the top of her lungs, refusing to give up just yet as it’s clear the only thing that it’s doing is pissing Drake off even more. Both of them are fighting for dear life to stay afloat in this match, but I think Ms. Extreme has the better willpower beginning to send backhands with her trapped arm to the face of Drake! Drake trying to hold on as much as he can but I don’t think he can! THE HOLD IS LOOSED AS MS. EXTREME ROLLS THROUGH AND PINS DRAKE’S SHOULDERS TO THE MAT!

OOONNNEEE!!!

TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!

TTTTTHHHHHHRRRRRRRRREEEE-

James Peters: BUT DRAKE KICKS OUT OF IT AND LETS GO OF THE HOLD! Ms. Extreme manages to turn it around and manage to break out of it as it saves her chances in this match just a little longer. It just asks the question, what is going to be enough? Both of them have put one another through hell and back, what will be the coup de grace? Both of them are back up and running towards one another, MS. EXTREME LOOKING TO TAKE DRAKE DOWN TO THE MAT WITH A SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMB!

Persephone: HAH SHE TRIPS AND FALLS!

Rich Russillo: NOT EXACTLY! DRAKE TURNS IT AROUND AND THIS TIME DROPS MS. EXTREME DOWN TO THE MAT WITH A JUMPING NECKBREAKER! What a fluid counter by Drake King as I think it’s clear that he knows damn well he can’t afford an error especially this far into the match; he has to perform to perfection. Drake stumbling back towards the corner attempting to keep himself upwards while Ms. Extreme is getting back up to her feet, which is exactly what she’s doing right now as she brings herself up to a knee, BUT IT’S DRAKE THAT APPROACHES HER AND GRABS HER TAKING HER DOWN TO THE MAT WITH AUTHORITY CONNECTING WITH A FALCON ARROW!

James Peters: Ms. Extreme is dropped down to the ground rolling in pain while grabbing her back, you can tell the physical toll of this match so far is beginning to kick in not just for her, but the both of them. Drake dropping down to a knee but using this time to catch his breath before this match continues. Ms. Extreme clawing at the canvas trying to crawl towards the bottom rope to effectively help herself up to her feet, but Drake isn’t having that as he grabs her by her head and brings her up to her feet. BEFORE GRABBING HER AND DROPPING HER DOWN TO THE GROUND WITH A SUPLEX!

Persephone: She’s like 100 pounds, how the hell can you not lift her :dahell:.

Rich Russillo: Well Ms. Extreme just dropped a knee down to the top of Drake’s head before he can fully execute it forcing him to drop her back down to the ground! Drake trying to keep ahold of her keeping a headlock locked in, but Ms. Extreme isn’t having it beginning to send shots to his body in hopes that he lets go! Drake shoving away, BUT THIS TIME GOING FOR AN ENZUIGIRI! But Ms. Extreme manages to duck under it as Drake lands on his knees in a world of hurt, BEFORE MS. EXTREME TAKES HIM DOWN TO THE MAT WITH AN ENZUIGIRI OF HER OWN!

James Peters: Ms. Extreme is finding herself leaning against the ropes using that as a crutch in hopes of staying upwards. You can see Drake trying to catch his breath because if there’s one thing he didn’t expect, is for Ms. Extreme to have her scouted at that very moment. He’s bringing himself back up to his feet but falls against the corner trying to keep himself up, WHICH MS. EXTREME TAKES ADVANTAGE OF RUNNING TOWARDS HIM AND GOING FOR A SHOULDER THRUST TO HIS ABDOMEN!

Persephone: Both of them are acting like this match has been going on for 2 hours. First off, thankfully not. Second off, Rexy would probably be sprinting around them by now.

Rich Russillo: But Drake manages to use the ropes to kick Ms. Extreme in the face before she can connect! And that could not have felt good for her as Drake grabs her and pushes her into the corner instead, BEFORE RUNNING FORWARD AND SENDING A SHARP KNEE STRIKE TO HER GUT! Ms. Extreme obviously hurting but Drake is keeping her up, before sending a chop towards her chest! Ms. Extreme isn’t going quietly though as she grabs him by his head and sends a forearm shot in response! That sends Drake backwards, which could be just what Ms. Extreme needs at the moment! AND I STAND CORRECTED AS SHE RUNS FORWARD AND TAKES DRAKE DOWN TO THE MAT WITH A CALF KICK TO HIS FACE!

James Peters: Drake grabbing his face in pain as he attempts to get up to a seated position, BUT IT’S MS. EXTREME THAT STOMPS DOWN WITH HER BOOT TOWARDS HIS FACE! Drake is feeling the overwhelming offense by the Universal Women’s Champion and desperately needs to find a way to counter that before it’s just too late! Drake attempting to get back up to his feet, BUT MS. EXTREME WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO THE FACE OF DRAKE! Drake is sent backwards, BUT CONNECTS WITH A KICK OF HIS OWN RIGHT ACROSS THE JAW! Both of them are managing to keep themselves up to their feet, BUT DRAKE WITH ANOTHER SUPERKICK FOR GOOD MEASURE! Ms. Extreme not falling just yet but stumbles backwards enough to back herself up against the ropes, Drake running towards her to take her down to the mat! BUT MS. EXTREME IS ONE STEP AHEAD GRABBING HIM AND PLANTING HIM DOWN TO THE MAT WITH A QUICK BULLDOG!

Persephone: God how hard can it really be? Put me in there with Ms. Extreme and I guarantee I’ll knock her ass out in seconds!

James Peters: It’s not like I value your safety, but no.

Rich Russillo: Drake and Ms. Extreme have been giving it their all in this match, but something has to give at some point! Both of them have been consistently going to the top rope in this match and it seems like they look to keep the trend up as Ms. Extreme quickly scales the turnbuckles and gets to the top rope while Drake is still trying to recover and get back up to his feet. MS. EXTREME LEAPS OFF THE TOP ROPE GOING FOR A METEORA ATTEMPT TO TAKE HER DOWN TO THE GROUND! 

James Peters: BUT DRAKE IN MID AIR COUNTERS WITH A SUPERKICK BEFORE SHE CAN CONNECT! WHAT A QUICK THINKING BY THE EAW WORLD CHAMPION! Ms. Extreme definitely did not expect that as she stumbles backwards against the ropes but advances forward in hopes of getting herself back on track, BUT DRAKE ROLLS THROUGH WITH A SCHOOLBOY BEFORE TRANSITIONING TO A SUPERKICK TOWARDS HER JAW TO TAKE HER DOWN TO THE MAT! She’s taken down to the ground as Drake leaves the ring and goes onto the apron. This time it’s him climbing up to the top rope, if there’s a chance to finish this match it’s right now and he knows that. Drake is up on the top as he’s getting himself up, Ms. Extreme still down on the mat! DRAKE LEAPING OFF THE TOP ROPE, I THINK HE’S GOING FOR A PHOENIX SPLASH! WAIT! WAIT! GLASS CEILING! MS. EXTREME GETS UP JUST IN TIME AND JUMPS UP TO THE TOP ROPE WITH DRAKE AND TAKES HIM DOWN TO THE GROUND WITH THE TOP ROPE STUNNER! WHAT A MOVE BY THE UNIVERSAL WOMEN’S CHAMPION! AND I DON’T THINK SHE’S DONE JUST YET EITHER!

Persephone: I don’t care if she’s done or not, I just hope this match is done soon.

Rich Russillo: Ms. Extreme climbing up to the top rope, when the opportunity presents itself you know she’s not going to hesitate to take it! THIS IS THE CHANCE SHE NEEDED AS SHE LEAPS OFF THE TOP ROPE AND GOES FOR A BLIND FURY! DIVING DOUBLE FOOT STOMP TO POSSIBLY BE THE DECIDING FACTOR IN THIS MATCH!

James Peters: WHAT THE?! A MEMBER OF THE CROWD JUST TOSSED MS. EXTREME OFF THE TOP ROPE! WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?!

Persephone: Oh you fucking idiot it’s obviously those idiotic IDOL-GUN simps. But it’s hilarious seeing them jump over the barricade and defend their heroes :mjlol2:.

(DING! DING! DING! DING! DING!)

(The camera cuts over to the barricade as multiple members of the crowd are seen jumping it and sliding into the ring. They’re bombarding Ms. Extreme with stomps and kicks in pure anger and rage, and it’s clear with the fatigue and overwhelming numbers, the Universal Women’s Champion can’t do much to save herself at the moment)

Rich Russillo: THIS IS PAYBACK FOR WHAT HAPPENED EARLIER IN THE NIGHT! THE IDOL-GUN SIMPS ARE COMING IN TO GET REVENGE FOR THE APPARENTLY HEINOUS ACTIONS OF MS. EXTREME! IT’S BECOMING SO HARD TO SEE THROUGH THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE IN THE RING BUT IT’S CLEAR THEY’RE BEATING THE EVER LIVING SHIT OUT OF MS. EXTREME! WHERE THE HELL IS SECURITY?!

Persephone: They’re clearly just as entertained as I am about this, so it’s clear that they just can’t be bothered and are letting this happen. To be honest, I couldn’t agree more.

James Peters: FINALLY, SECURITY LOOKS TO BE COMING OUT TO RESTORING ORDER HERE! THEY’RE GETTING THEM AWAY FROM THE CHAMPION AND GIVING A HELPING HAND AT THE MOMENT! THEY LOOK ABSOLUTELY FURIOUS BUT SECURITY HAS THEM CONTAINED SLAPPING HANDCUFFS ONTO THEM WHILE DRAGGING THEM OUT OF THE RING VICIOUSLY! FINALLY!

(The camera gets a closeup look at Ms. Extreme as she’s down on the mat nursing a bloody nose after the fight. It’s clear she’s pissed off but can’t find it in her to get up. A few feet away, is none other than her opponent Drake King who is sitting up looking pretty angry as a result. Of course he ended up as collateral damage along with the match being ended prematurely and no matter if the match was going in his favor or not, he’s not happy about it. After a moment, he pulls himself up to his feet, shaking himself off and making his way towards Ms. Extreme. Both of them have made eye contact with one another before…)

Persephone: OMGOMGOMG DRAKE IS OFFERING TO HELP MS. EXTREME UP! I’M TELLING YOU! THIS IS HOW TRUE LOVE IS FORMED!

(Drake has his hand held out, Ms. Extreme looking at it with that same pissed off look on her face. She looks back up at him and sighs)

Rich Russillo: :damn: She just slapped his hand away!

Ms. Extreme: (Off-Mic) Fuck off, will you.

Drake King: (Off-Mic) :francis:

(Drake once again shakes his head in disappointment before turning around and ultimately leaving the ring. Ms. Extreme has finally managed to drag herself up to a seated position, wiping the blood from her nose as she looks towards the stage in pure frustration)

Ms. Extreme: (Off-Mic) I swear to God I am going to humiliate and destroy that bitch at Bloodsport.

James Peters: :krabs:

(She slams the mat in anger before rolling out of the ring and walking around ringside. Officials quickly make their way over in hopes of helping her, but Ms. Extreme only shoves them away. The final image seen for the night is Ms. Extreme making her way up the ramp shaking her head as Voltage completely fades to black from there)
