(EAW intro plays.)
(A recap of last week’s episode of Sunday Night Voltage is shown: The show starts off with Candice Blair talking about her situation with Miku Sakai saying how she’s had enough of her running around with her alcohol addiction. She is interrupted by Miku who is obviously tired of hearing her speak, even sending her a death threat. Both of them send warnings each other’s way for Bloodsport and a huge statement in the process. Two men make their debut in the first match of the night as Kirk Redwood goes up against Fujiwara. In the end only one person could come out on top, and that was The One Kick Man. Finally, The Woogieman returns to action against Mary S. Atlas. But is ultimately unsuccessful, losing to Mary in the end. Jake Smith then comes out to cut a promo, saying that it’s Raven Roberts’ fault that he lost the previous week. Raven then comes out to interrupt and start a heated argument, before a match is confirmed at Bloodsport between the two. Afterwards Jake then lays out Raven, standing tall in the end. The Woogieman comes to Danny Tanner for a pep talk, Danny is obviously afraid but Woogie hypes him up, getting him ready for his match. Danny then comes out to face Shane Gates. After getting weirded out by Lillie The Doll, Shane takes advantage and gets the win but before he can catch Lillie, she disappears. Mary S. Atlas and Holly Arrow then meet to spin the wheel to determine the stipulation for their match. They spin the wheel and it lands on Fans Bring The Weapons, something that they’re both excited for. Shane Gates then goes to demand an opportunity before he’s met by Lucas Johnson who wants the same opportunity, Donovan Duke then pops up, accepting both of their challenges for the 24/7 Contract. Ryan Wilson joins commentary for the match where his challenger at Bloodsport, Alex Myers, goes up against Miku Sakai. After Miku gets the victory, Ryan attacks Alex and ends up standing tall in the end. Myles comes out and talks about last week talking about Jamie O’Hara, before Jamie interrupts him himself. Jamie warned him saying that he doesn’t compare to The Ace, and that he picked the hill that he was going to die on. Holly Arrow returns to action, facing Lucas Johnson in one-on-one competition. After a tough match, Holly manages to come out with the victory. Chris Elite then goes to a church to ask a Priest what he should do about Minerva, his response is to do an exorcism to get rid of the demon inside of her. Ryan Wilson and Minerva fight in Champion versus Champion competition. In the end though, it’s Minerva that comes out on top in a hard fought victory. Ms. Extreme then has an interview with Sofia Clarke where she threatens to shave Hikari Kanno’s head bald, saying that she’s not ready to be a World Champion. Hikari Kanno and Jake Smith then fight in in-ring action, where Hikari gets the win after Jake gets too cocky and badmouths Raven. Afterwards Hikari Kanno meets Ms. Extreme, where Hikari offers a Championship versus Hair match, which Ms. Extreme accepts. Drake King and Justin Windgate then spin the wheel to determine the stipulation for their Bloodsport match. Shockingly, it lands on a Chainsaw Deathmatch. Both of them get into a brawl where in the end Justin stands tall with a chainsaw, ending the recap.)
(’33rd Blakk Glass’ by Sosmula and ZillaKami is blasting through the speakers of the arena while the camera transitions to the Dickies Arena. Gold pyro is shooting out of the stage while the Texas crowd is hyped for the occasion. The crowd could resemble a mosh pit, but it’s nothing new anyways. It then goes to the commentary booth where the usual Rich Russillo, James Peters, and Persephone are seen.)
Rich Russillo: Ladies and gentlemen we are two weeks away from our first brand-exclusive Free-Per-View of the Season, Bloodsport! Where we welcome you tonight to another episode of SUNDAY NIGHT VOLTAGE!
James Peters: And what a show we have for you tonight, especially our main event. The EAW World Champion is back in action as Drake King goes up against a man that he knows very well who is back in the main event tonight, Jake Smith.
Persephone: And that makes me soooo excited for the show tonight. đ Look, ever since the start of the Season these shows have been absolutely BORING! Take it from me, the least we should have is Veena Adams main eventing. I got more excited for Midsummer Massacre than actually starting the show tonight, bless Ad Infinitum. But whatever, let’s get this over with.
(The arena goes dark, the sounds of the Gypsy Chants, Symbols and Cimbalom begins to play when suddenly the rift of “Blood, Milk & Sky” by White Zombie plays, echoing when a lone spotlight is shown where Minerva is on the stage, kneeling and licking her lips, looking around wearing her wrestling attire, hat and Glasses, an orange rose and wearing an intricate black jacket with the National Elite Championship around her waist. She slowly looks around with a smile on her face before crawling a little and slowly standing on her two feet placing the rose in her mouth.)
Rich Russillo: Minerva is here to kick off Voltage where she along with Chris Elite will spin the wheel and see what match stipulation it will be for the National Elite Championship.
James Peters: One of the most sadistic and dangerous women in this company, many call her the most vicious of New Eden and she has a match tonight against Justin Windgate who will face Drake King at Bloodsport in a Chainsaw Deathmatch. Tonight though, it is all about Minerva and the wheel.
Persephone: I hate this Goth Vampire Devilish bitch. Maybe Chris Elite is on to something here and she needs to be exorcised.
(The crowd boos as she starts to laugh before looking around wide-eyed and making her way to the ring. She stops and gets close to some of the fans before backing up and licking her lips again. Minerva starts to sneer before she skips down to the ring, twirling her rose and hopping on the apron, hanging upside down on the ropes for a moment as the crowd continues to boo. Minerva slowly gets back into the ring and stands in the middle, looking around at the wheel with all the different match types before grabbing a micâŠ.)
Minerva: Isnât it ironic that Captain Charisma is not out here to MC this whole thing like he does EVERY OTHER wheel spin. Makes me wonder why? Am I being set up? Is the Captain too scared to come out here and watch us spin his barbaric wheel in hopes there is stipulation he could put another member of New Eden in so he can once again feebly try to destroy us one by one? This is both insulting and at the same time disrespectful but Iâm not here to split hairs, instead I defend the National Elite Championship for the VERY FIRST TIME at an event where last year I wrestled in a Three Stages of Hardcore Hell Match in the main event and lost my title, but that Minerva is not the same as this Minerva, and my mental state and psychology are on a whole other level. New Eden has become the force in the EAW, but we will never be the driving force long as the resistance continues to try and stop us, but what are they really doing? Simply put delaying the inevitable. Why do I have this championship? Well, that is easy reallyâŠ.
(She takes the title off her waist and holds it up, looking at the wheel and the different stipulations, a smirk comes across her faceâŠ.)
Minerva: âŠ. It has never meant more than now, know why? I hold a title that everyone wants, and no one will get. Chris Elite will be the first of many to get in line and fail, but there is a reason I chose Chris. We have history, for the last few years he has been the measuring stick in the EAW. A man with a GAWD Contract, he has used it many times to screw others and feed his own greed. I was a victim of that too along with Constance Blevins, but what Chris has never done is defeat me, that will not change at Bloodsport. Then there is no more talk, no more speaking out of line. He has cost me opportunities and I have cost him championships and accolades. The last time, I had to prove myself to challenge Chris Elite to the Showdown Brand and the EAW, this time he needs to prove himself to the EAW, Voltage and New Eden. Now, he believes Iâm possessed, Iâm not going to argue with Chris EliteâŠ. I am a Devil and most importantlyâŠ. Minerva isâŠ.
(But before she could finish the lights go out, annoyed she slowly turns to the entranceway where some mist starts to form, eight druids suddenly in black hoods walk out four on each side as some Gregorian church chants start to play throughout the arena. Minerva looks on slowly taking off her hat, glasses and jacket, throwing them to the side when a man in a large black robe with a hood over his head is seen at the top of the ramp holding a wooden staff with a cross on it as well as a microphone, his scarf around says âPastor SKâ, he starts to throw holy water on the ramp, where behind him is a shirtless oiled up Big Mike flexing his pecs up and down as Minerva starts to shake her head.)
James Peters: I donât know what the hell this is, but it looks like Pastor SK is coming out with eight druids and of course Big Mike behind him. Chris Elite had gone to church, he talked about exorcising Minerva and the devil inside of her in order to become the National Elite Champion.
Rich Russillo: This is absolutely bonkers right now but maybe this is all part of the game Chris is playing, though we know that deep down inside, he isnât exactly the most stable either.
Persephone: Minerva is the Devil, good for him, exorcise this vampire goth, please!
(The Druids surround the ring; Minerva looks ready to fight as she gets in a defensive position. Pastor SK walks up the steps, throwing holy water in the ring and then at Minerva who stands there taking it as Big Mike follows.)
Pastor SK: HEATHEN! FOR I STAND IN FRONT OF THIS TORTURED SOUL! THE DEVIL INCARNATE SO PRETTY AND TEMPTING LIKE THE WHORE OF BABYLON! BUT THIS HAS BEEN AN EVIL WHICH HAS PLAGUED THE EAW FOR FAR TOO LONG! THIS SUCCUBUS HAS LURED MEN INTO EVIL! SHE SPITS THE CANDY OF HELL! HER FIERY FLAMING ORANGE HAIR! HER SADISTIC NATURE AND LOOK! SHE HAS BROUGHT THE ARMAGEDDON TO THE EAW DISGUISED AS NEW EDEN! DRAKE KING AND MYLES HAVE FALLEN UNDER HER SPELL! THIS VOLCANIC VAGINA OF FIRE AND BRIMSTONE FROM THE DEEPEST DEPTHS OF HADES MUST BE CLEANSED! I AM HERE TO EXORCISE THE DEMON!
(Minerva doesnât look impressed when suddenly Big Mike gets right up to her, looking down at the much smaller Minerva who backs up a little nodding beforeâŠ..)
*PLUNK*
(Minerva hits Big Mike with the mic as he stumbles back, the Druids suddenly unmask themselves as friends of Chris Elite from his hood, they all quickly slide inâŠ.)
James Peters: MINERVA IS BEING SWARMED BY THE DRUIDS! BUT SHE QUICKLY KICKS ONE OF THEM, BACK BODY DROPS ANOTHER AND PUNCHES A THIRD BUT THAT IS NOT ENOUGH! THEY ARE STARTING TO OVERPOWER HER!
(Suddenly the crowd boos as Drake King and Myles come running down to the ring, they slide in and start fighting with the Druids!)
Rich Russillo: NEW EDEN IS HERE AND THE FIGHT IS ON! DRAKE AND MYLES ARE FIGHTING OFF THE DRUIDS! WAIT! HERE COMES JUSTIN WINDGATE! HE ATTACKS DRAKE KING FROM BEHIND SENDING HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE WITH A VICIOUS CLOTHESLINE AND FLYING BODYPRESS! MYLES IS LEFT WITH MINERVA FIGHTING OFF THE DRUIDS BUT THEY TACKLE MYLES DOWN AND FORCE HIM OUT OF THE RING, MINERVA GETS UP AND TURNS RIGHT INTO BIG MIKE! HE HOISTS HER UP AND POWERBOMB! HE JUST BROKE MINERVA IN HALF!
Persephone: Maybe that will kick the devil out of her!
(Minerva is down, she slowly still tries to get up, as Big Mike looks a little shocked but smiles, she slowly gets to her feet and âŠ..)
James Peters: RICCCKYYYYY!!!!! THE BICYCLE KICK ALMOST TOOK MINERVAâS HEAD OFF! SHE IS LYING THERE BARELY MOVING! LOOK AT PASTOR SK! WHAT IS HE DOING!?
(Minerva slowly rolls over on her stomach, barely able to move and completely out of it. Pastor SK stands next to her and slowly lowers the wooden staff with the cross, he then reaches into his pocketsâŠ.)
Rich Russillo: OKAY THIS NEEDS TO STOP! NEW EDEN OR NOT PASTOR SK JUST LIT THE DAMN CROSS ON FIRE!!!!
Persephone: Exorcise the demon!
James Peters: WHAT IS PASTOR SK DOING!?
(The crowd is almost shocked, watching as he lifts the staff over Minerva while on fireâŠ.)
Pastor SK: BEGONE YE DEVIL!!!!!!
(Pastor SK starts slamming the flaming wooden cross on Minervaâs back as she screams in pain. Drake King is on the outside with Justin Windgate and Druids still fighting but overpowered, five Druids are on Myles holding him as he screams and watches his girlfriend getting mauled with the flaming Wooden Cross staff.)
James Peters: PASTOR SK HAS BEATEN MINERVA WITH THAT FLAMING CROSS SEVERAL TIMES ALREADY! SHE IS BARELY MOVING! WAITâŠ. WHAT IS HE DOING!?
(A shaking and shivering almost unconscious Minerva looks at Myles, The Dark seeping from her mouth as Pastor SK aims the Cross on the back of her neck as he lifts it up highâŠ.)
Myles: (off-mic) NO!!!!!
(Pastor SK SLAMS THE BURNING CROSS SO HARD ON THE BACK OF HER NECK AND HEAD IT SHATTERS AS SHE LIES THERE MOTIONLESS)
James Peters: PASTOR SK JUST BROKE THAT CROSS ON THE BACK OF MINERVAâS HEAD! SHE ISNâT MOVING!
Rich Russillo: IâŠ. I donât know what to sayâŠ.
Persephone: DING DONG THE WITCH IS DEAD!
(Suddenly Pastor SK drops the staff, he takes off the hood and it is Chris Elite. Squatting down as Big Mike hands him the National Elite Championship. He grabs a hold of her hair and lifts up her head, Minerva sprawled out unconscious as he holds the title in her faceâŠ.)
Chris Elite: Dickeating bitch, did you really think that I was just gonna be grateful that you gave me some title match that I deserved anyway!? See, since Territorial Invasion I have been waiting to kick that pale ass of yours because Iâll admit youâve been nothing but a thorn in my side, but I am Chris Elite and you seem to have forgotten that, so now you wanna step up to me and think Iâm the next victim for New Eden!? Bet. Hey Myles, like what I did to your bitch!? Iâm âbout to do the same thing to you later tonight! Iâm gonna be the National Elite Champion and come one step closer to Grand Slam on your first title defense Minerva, and just like youâre lying here sleeping not able to do a damn thing about it, that is exactly how things will end at Bloodsport. But how about we spin the wheel, huh? Now I can do it for us, but I guess I need your consent, right? What was that?
(Chris puts his ear right at Minervaâs mouth acting like she is whispering to him.)
Chris Elite: Oh!? Really!? Youâre gonna give me the honor to spin the wheel!? Why thanks, bitch!
(He drops her head to the mat and walks over to the wheel, he sees Justin Windgate kicking a downed Drake King being held down by Druids. Myles is getting kicked down by five Druids as Chris points at Minerva and winksâŠ.)
Chris Elite: Wish us luck, Devil!
(Chris spins the wheel, he waits for a few seconds before it finally lands on one, his eyes widen some as does Big Mikeâs, but Chris quickly brushes it off staring at it, the crowd roars in cheersâŠ)
James Peters: ITâS.. AN EXPLODING BARBED WIRE TLC MATCH!!!!!
Rich Russillo: AND HE CANâT BLAME ANYONE BUT HIMSELF FOR THAT ONE!
Persephone: Many Poons died last season thanks to this match…. Awesome.
(Chris Elite starts to laugh it off as he poses with the National Elite Championship, âInvincibleâ by Pop Smoke starts to play as Elite is seen stepping on the back of the unconscious Minerva and holding the title up high before dropping it on the burns and welts of her back, stepping away as the Druids and Big Mike follow Chris Elite out, Myles slowly crawls to the ring and covers Minerva, trying to talk to her as Justin Windgate leaves with the rest, Drake King now in the ring holding his head and neck glaring at them while tending to their fallen teammate.)
(Voltage fades to a commercial for Pastor SKâs Sunday service, which Pastor SK doesnât actually attend himself thanks to him being on Voltage.)
(Voltage fades back to ringside, and Bella Braxton stands inside the middle of the ring.)
Bella Braxton: The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!
( “Ready To Die” by The Notorious B.I.G plays over the sound system of Minute Maid Park as The Emperor of Violence, Lucas Johnson, walks out to the stage. He looks around at the crowd, preparing himself before he makes his way to the ring for his upcoming match against one of EAWâs newer Elitists. )
Bella Braxton: Introducing FIRST! From Long Island, New York! Weighing in at 210 pounds! The Wrestling Machine! LUCAAAAAAAAAAAAAS JOHN-SOOOOOOOOOOONNN!!
James Peters: Here comes Lucas Johnson who is one of three competitors who will battle in a Fatal Four-Way match for a chance to win Donovan Dukeâs 24/7 Contract!
Persephone: Are we going to ignore the fact he got his ass kicked by Holly Arrow too?
Rich Russillo: Of course we wonât! Just like we wonât ignore how hard he fought and close he came to win! Lucas doesnât have an enviable record so far in Season 15 but he never gave a bad match so far!
( ââBad Manââ by Blues Saraceno plays over the sound system as the Dog of War makes his way out to the stage. He looks right down at Lucas Johnson with a focused look before beginning to approach the squared circle for his next match. )
Bella Braxton: And his opponent! From Boston, Massachusetts! Weighing in at 210 pounds: KIIIIIIIIIIIRRRR-K RED-WOOOOOOOOOD!!!!
James Peters: Second match here in EAW for the Bastard Son who lost last week in his debut bout against another debutant the One Kick Man Fujuwara!
Rich Russillo: A highly contested match between both opponents and the One Kick Man came out on top! Kirk will surely want to put that loss to bed with a win against a veteran like Lucas Johnson here tonight!
( Ding Ding Ding! )
James Peters: And here we GO! This match is officially underway! Both men are in each other’s corner staring intently at one other neither are intimidated and they both are looking ready to battle! Johnson makes his way to the center of the ring first followed by Kirk who meets him the two engage in a clinch and are struggling hard to get one to back down. Kirk gets the ascendency, pushing Lucas to a corner but Johnson reverses. The two keeps clinching pushing each other to the opposite corner before the official ends up breaking it.
Persephone: Get a room if you keep hugging like that!
Rich Russillo: The two men circle each other in the center of the ring before clinching again. Lucas goes for a headlock but Kirk goes under it and behind Lucas holding him by the waist and takes him down! Quickly moving Johnson goes for an armbar which is countered into a leglock by Redwood but Lucas manages to break free of it quickly!
James Peters: Both men are back to their feet, locking up once again before Kick goes to a headlock again on Lucas. He goes for an Irish Wh-no! Lucas turns it into a takedown but Kirk still holds on to his head! LUCAS GOES FOR A ROLL-UP!! KIRK’S SHOULDERS ARE DOWN!!!

THE CROSSFACE BY LUCAS JOHNSON!! BUT REDWOOD SCATTERS QUICKLY AND HANGS ONTO THE ROPES SAVING HIMSELF!
Rich Russillo: Quick thinking by the man otherwise he would be in big trouble! Lucas lets go of him but forces him to his feet and whips him to a corner, he throws a few chops at kick before whipping him to the opposite corner! He goes to him, Lucas scoops Redwood up AND LANDS A BACKBREAKER!! Lucas is in control at this point in the match as Redwood sits up! Lucas is behind him and grabs at his head trying to turn it to break it but Kirk resists! Lucas doesn’t waste too much time and turns this into a headlock before maneuvering Kirk so that he could sit on the top turnbuckle of the nearby corner. Kirk manages to break free! Lucas didnât hold him tight enough!! Kirk turns around, gets a face full of boot for his effort! Lucas gets up on the second turnbuckle measuring his opponent BUT KIRK RUSHES IN AND SHOVES JOHNSON OUTSIDE OF THE RING! LUCAS LANDED HARD ON THE OUTSIDE HE COULD BE HURT!!
James Peters: Kirk looks pleased with himself as he rolls out of the ring and goes to meet Lucas, grabbing him by the head HE WHIPS HIM INTO THE SECURITY RAILING!! Kirk wastes no time and rolls Lucas inside the ring! He goes for a cover!
ONEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Rich Russillo: Lucas lifts a shoulder up! This match continues!
Persephone: A God would have finished the likes of Lucas Johnson a long time ago!
James Peters: Johnson is against a corner now as Kirk is stomping a mudhole through his chest wanting to walk it dry before putting his boot against his throat choking him! The official starts to count but Kirk stops before he gets disqualified! Lucas gets lifted to his feet by Kirk who executes a SUPLEX! PERFECT FORM! Lucas sits up in pain holding his back clutching to it AND REDWOOD PUNT KICKS HIM IN THE BACK!

Bella Braxton: HERE IS YOUR WINNER⊠LUCAAAAS JOOOOHHHNNNNSOOOOOONNNN!!!!
( “Ready To Die” by The Notorious B.I.G plays over the PA System of Dickie’s Arena as Lucas gets his arm raised in victory. )
James Peters: What A Match By Those Two Men! Congratulations to Lucas Johnson For a well-earned Win!
Persephone: Is it really over? I feel like I dozed off!
Rich Russillo: Kirk Redwood gave a strong opposition to his opponent but it was not enough for the win! He surely will have a chance for a W soon if he keeps working as hard as he does!
( As Lucas Johnson continues to celebrate his victory and Kirk Redwood rolls out of the ring, Voltage begins to fade away from the area. )
[SCREEN BAR – Los Angeles, California]
(Voltage fades to footage from earlier in the week. The scene is set in a building called MIX Recording Studio, a very professional studio with a whole 4.8 stars on Google. Inside the building are two producers, both of them setting up with headphones over their ears. One of their names is Thomas White, the other James Anderson. They look up at the window in front of them and give a thumbs up gesture to a person inside. That person is revealed to be Candice Blair, who the crowd erupt for back in the present moment at the Dickies Arena. She has headphones on as well along with a stand in front of her, seemingly with lyrics on a sheet of paper.)
Thomas White: Here we go againâŠđ
James Anderson: What, have you been lying the entire time saying her music is actually good? Because in that case, I can agree with youâŠ
Thomas White: Weâve been here for 2 hours and weâve been-
(Someone clears their throat, interrupting Thomas. Thomas slowly begins to turn his head to reveal Desmond Helms standing next to him, crossing his arms and looking at both of the producers with an intimidating presence. Itâs safe to say that heâs been there the whole time, he just wanted to hear what they had to say for themselves. Thomas slowly turns his head back towards James with wide eyes.)
Thomas White: What I meant to say is that sheâs such a great singer and itâs an honor to have her here in our recording studio! đ
Desmond Helms: :francis:
James Anderson: Well you remember what I said? Sex sells, dude. I donât care how good or bad this is, imagine how much money weâd be getting from a woman who is associated with a huge mainstream wrestling company in the music industry? You know what, whatever.
(James leans forward and presses a button before beginning to speak, Candice seems to be getting ready but immediately her face lights up upon hearing a voice.)
James Anderson: Alright Candice, whenever you want.
(Thomas then sets up before a generic beat that could fit the mold of any pop song in existence begins to play. Candice begins to bob her head slowly for a moment while keeping her eyes on her lyrics. Itâs then revealed behind her she has a team of back-up singers; two women and on smol boi concealing himself in a hood and sunglasses. She clearly seems to be enjoying her time while she thinks in her head, before finally beginning to sing.)
Candice Blair: đ” I never was someone to run away,đ”
đ” From everything Iâve ever known.đ”
đ”But maybe Iâve found that time and place,đ”
đ”To walk away, from everything Iâve ever- PAUSE!
(The music abruptly stops with a record scratch while both producers look at one another with tired looks on their faces. Desmond on the other hand is clapping his hands together with an enthusiastic look on his face. Even though heâs had to bear through subpar singing at best for hours, he is still encouraging towards Candice with all the energy that he has in his body.)
Desmond Helms: Youâre doing great! Youâre going to kill it in the music industry!
(Heâs probably said the same line about ten times now, but Candice doesnât question it, sheâs just happy about the encouragement. Before long, Thomas reluctantly leans forward, keeping his calm, before speaking.)
Thomas White: Hi.
Candice Blair: A few questions, I know weâve been doing this a bit so Iâll keep this short⊠as short as I possibly can I mean đ. Are we filming for TikTok? I know my loyal fans want to see the progress on the album and Iâm sure theyâre just excited as I am!
Thomas White: Yes, you asked that last time. But yes, we are filming for TikTok.
(Thomas points to the person in the corner holding up a phone to record Candice. Heâs the size of a teenager with curly hair and glasses on. His hands are shaking while sweat profusely comes down his face, itâs clear heâs been recording for a long time at this point. Candice looks at him with a smile before turning back to the producers.)
Candice Blair: Are the press going to be at the release? We canât leave them in the dark when it comes to this type of large-scale release and the last thing I want for them to do is miss the extravagant listening party that Iâm going to have! Iâm sure theyâll absolutely love it and I donât want to miss it for the world. Plus the dress that Iâm going to wear there. :whew:
Thomas White: You also asked that last time, but yes.
Candice Blair: I also request for my hair and makeup team to be on site as well. Any mishap occurs and the event will just be ruined! We have to be sure there are no hiccups and if there are, that weâre able to tend to that immediately.
Thomas White: Yes.
Candice Blair: Do we know if the celebrities that I invited over Social Stream are coming or not? I know The Woogieman said he doesnât know if heâll have time to make it or not, but itâll be great to clarify just in case.
Thomas White: Yes, The Woogieman has agreed to be there.
Candice Blair: :blessed: Another question real quick. How am I sounding? I made sure to do my vocal exercises today and personally, I think this session has been going great!
(Thomas and James once again look at one another with flabbergasted faces. Before both of them slowly turn their head back, James rubs his temple while Thomas wears a fake smile.)
Thomas White: Great. đ
Candice Blair: Sounds good, now you guysâŠ
(Candice turns her head to look towards the backup singers. The two women innocently smile at her while the smol boi gives a half-assed wave towards her general direction.)
Candice Blair: Tone it down a little will you? I know this is your shining moment and moments like these are once in a lifetime, your welcome. But this isnât âCandice Blair & The Helpâ, no! This is solely yours truly, so lower your tone will you? Also I donât know which one of you it is, but one of you sounds extremely monotone. Remember what I said before, we have to hit those high notes! Even if you donât think you matter in this song⊠probably not⊠youâre a major part in making this sound absolutely perfect!
(The backup singers donât seem to take this so lightly. The two women seem annoyed, for good reason. They know theyâre better than Candice and could start a music career that is already better than hers regardless of the result, but they keep a smile on their face to hide the pain. The smol boi instead steps forward. Candice looks with a warm smile on her face while crouching down to his level.)
Candice Blair: Aw, what is it, little one?
???: You a bitch.
(Immediately the smol boi swings a punch towards the face of Candice, sending her down to the ground. Everyone looks shocked at this, before the person behind the hooded figure finally takes off their mask to reveal themselves in front of Candice.)
Miku Sakai: You actually think your music is actually good?! Iâd rather shoot myself with a fucking shotgun than bear through another hour of this shit! Do you know how long Iâve been here?! I promise you, beating the ever living shit out of you is going to be so satisfying, I might just rip your vocal cords out along with it!
Candice Blair: NoâŠ
(Miku rips off the hoodie and launches towards Candice, she mounts onto her and begins to slam punches into her face while Candice quickly tries to block. She was clearly taken aback by the abrupt attack courtesy of the IDOL-GUN member, but at this point sheâs just trying to fend it off. Candice forcefully shoves away, allowing her to slowly drag herself back up to her feet to meet middle ground with Miku. Both of them continue to swing punches towards one another endlessly, in an all-out brawl that canât seem to be stopped in the MIX Recording Studio. Candice grabs Miku and shoves her towards a wall, where Miku is forced to give a cry of pain. In a fit of anger and rage, she manages to manhandle her and take a 180 spin before pushing her against the wall herself.)
(Outside of the recording booth, both Thomas and James look invested in the action. Desmond seems to be trying to open the door inside of the studio, but it seems to be jammed, all part of the plan. Both of the producers look towards Desmond trying to break through before looking at the brawl once again.)
James Anderson: This isnât going to look good on our record⊠SECURITY!
(In an instant, Security Guards push Desmond away from the door and try to open it themselves. Desmond obviously looks annoyed, but as long as both of them are split up heâll be fine. Finally, Security breaks through and manages to split both of them apart. Candice has a bloody nose while Miku has bruises all over her face, both of them yelling profane words at one another while theyâre being escorted out of the room. The screams and constant arguing is still heard while the scene is transitioned to elsewhere.)
[SCREEN BAR – Present moment.]
(Voltage comes back to the Dickies Arena where a television screen is shown recapping the events that took place in Los Angeles. Both Candice and Miku are tearing eachother apart before the footage is paused. The camera pans out to show none other than the Voltage Commissioner himself, Captain Charisma. Heâs crossing his arms while looking to his left and his right. Of course, the two perpetrators, Candice Blair and Miku Sakai, are there with him. Captain Charisma didnât need to be here in the first place, but he is since the rivalry got so out of hand, theyâre going to need someone to hold them back.)
Captain Charisma: Iâm sure both of you know why youâre here. I understand the situation that both of you have found yourself in with one another, and letâs just say itâs been none short of aggression. Candice, trying to build her music career, stumbled on Miku who didnât take kindly to her taking her spotlight. Both of you never thought of one another fondly, and thatâs what brought us to making the Bloodsport match between you two official. And of course, just like any other match, this is where you spin the wheel.
Miku Sakai: Oh I hope itâs something good, I hope itâs really good. I donât exactly see a shotgun on a pole match here like I suggested last week, but Iâll make good out of whatever this happens to land on. Besides, I wouldnât miss the opportunity to kill a shit-for-brained Ava sister if the opportunity presented itself. But after that horrendous singing, Iâm starting to question your family tree like that Irish bitch you call a sister. Seriously, why does your family have to be so fucking convoluted. Itâs not like they benefit EAW either. Behind that cheery personality and welcoming tone, lies a family filled with greed, nepotism, egomaniacs, and a bunch of plastic bitches who canât seem to comprehend any sort of common sense. Has the plastic somehow seeped into your brain? Have you walking, talking Barbie dolls been living under the same roof infected with a Make-A-Wish kids special disability? Because Iâm absolutely shocked how an entire family can sound so stupid without making any sense whatsoever.
Candice Blair: Aw, look whoâs mad. Another person pissed off with the mere thought of the Ava sisters looking to take us down, kewt. You can say what you want Miku, all I was doing was minding my own business. My music career couldnât be better and you just had to butt your head into the conversation to desperately leech off my spotlight and use it for your dying career. I mean look at you, youâre a mess! Youâve got a drinking addiction and youâve been so irrationally angry towards me that youâve pushed me towards this point. Ever since you got into my business Iâve only been trying to help, but youâve pushed it away. To that I say go with it. You can do whatever the hell you want, but just know the last thing you want to do is cross Candice Blair. I tried my best, I really did, but some people just canât be helped, canât be saved. And youâll learn that the only thing you did for yourself was make a mistake getting on my bad side.
Miku Sakai: You really think that I need your fucking help? I knew you were delusional, but I didnât know that you were this delusional. I was perfectly fine on my own, we wouldnât have gotten into this stupid bullshit if you just backed off. But here we are now, and now Iâm going to have to beat your ass. Your stupid, little, futile, mentally challenged ass. You should be grateful for me even giving you the time of day. Because the last thing we want you to do is continue that horrible music career that nobody can really care about in the first place. Letâs just face reality for a moment, nobody likes you Candice? Nobody did, and nobody will. You can continue to lie to yourself and say you actually have talent, but the only thing you proved in the recording studio is your lack of. Youâre untalented and the world will be better off without your idiotic face around here, which is why you should be thanking me for putting the bullet in your head while I have the chance.
Candice Blair: Omg Iâm so scared. Youâve intimidated me so much that Iâve decided to back out of the Bloodsport match and forfeit! Yeah, no. We both know how this is going to go Miku, and itâs playing out exactly as I anticipated it. Youâre going to âšunderestimateâš me just like everyone else, and Iâm going to go out there in two weeks to show why you should be doing everything but that. Hey, itâs your funeral though you can believe whatever you want. Just know it wonât be long before you face the reality of this situation, and itâs that youâre leading yourself to something that youâll soon regret. Meeting me in the ring is going to be more of a challenge than you expected and Iâm making sure the opportunity doesnât slip away for me to get a Free-Per-View win under my notch. Because while I am a very talented singer and activist, my heart lies in wrestling, itâs been something Iâve been honing my craft for years on. Iâm looking to climb the mountain again and not even you are going to stop me from doing that. So you can drink however much alcohol you want to cope with the pain, Bloodsport I can assure you, youâre in for one hell of a surprise.
Miku Sakai: Being in jail would be better than listening to that horrible album, but hey believe whatever Desmond tells you in be-
Captain Charisma: Alright, alright. I think weâve had enough talking for today, ladies. You know the deal, whichever one of you decides to do it, may spin the Bloodsport wheel.
(Miku steps forward and looks to spin the wheel, but Candice holds her hand out and shoves Miku away. Miku stumbles back with a disgusted look on her face while Candice spins the wheel. The anticipation is at an all time high while both Miku and Candice watch the wheel with baited breath. It isnât long after that the wheel slows down, before landing onâŠ)
Captain Charisma: AN EXTREME LINGERIE MATCH!
Candice Blair: :oh:
Miku Sakai: Fucking pervs⊠whatever.
(Candice nods her head in interest before turning towards Miku. Miku rolls her eyes for a moment before pondering, before shrugging her shoulders.)
Miku Sakai: Fuck it.
Rich Russillo: MIKU ATTACKS CANDICE! Here we go again! Candice was ready though, this time sending punches back before Miku can get an upperhand in this brawl. Look at Captain Charisma stepping back, he clearly doesnât want anything to do with this. Both of them are absolutely relentless with one another, this rivalry has clearly gotten out of hand just like Captain Charisma said! Miku grabbing Candice by her head and slamming her into the countertop inside the Voltage Commissioner’s office, and look at all those papers fly! But itâs Candice that manages to turn it around and throw Miku into the wall!
James Peters: I donât think this brawl is going to stop unless someone forces it to! Both of them are still fighting till the very end with rage fueling them as well. Miku sends a sharp knee to the gut of Candice, before connecting with an axe handle to the back of her head! Candice dropped down to a knee, before Miku grabs her by the hair and slams her down to the floor! Miku makes her way towards Candice, but itâs Candice that manages to grab the leg of Miku and trip her down to the floor! Wait, what the hell is she doing…
Persephone: LOOK! SHEâS FUCKING STRIPPING HER DOWN TO HER BRA AND PANTIES! THIS IS SO HUMILIATING I FUCKING LOVE IT!
(Of course, Candice manages to successfully rip the clothes off of Miku, stripping her down. Miku tries to cover herself up to the best of her ability but ultimately she finds that unsuccessful. She stumbles backwards while Candice waves with a smirk on her face. She quickly runs off while Candice mockingly shrugs her shoulders in response. Itâs clear Candice won the brawl this time as she stands tall in the end. Itâs the last shot seen before Voltage then transitions to elsewhere.)
(Commercial for Hasbulla. Nothing about him in particular, itâs just him. Sources say this is actually a paid advertisement by Andre Walker.)
( Voltage fades backstage where Molly Waters of Fight Grid is standing by. There have been rumors swirling all week long that Captain Charisma has come up with a way to bolster EAWâs tag team division from the Voltage side, and it seems like the EAW Universe is about to find out exactly what he means by that because Captain Charisma is standing beside Molly. )
Molly Waters: Earlier this week on social media, Captain Charisma teased that EAWâs Tag Team Division was about to get a lot more exciting. The members of the EAW Universe immediately began to speculate what the Voltage Commissioner meant by that, and a lot of people seem to believe that a tag team lottery of sorts is about to come into play again. If you recall, a couple of years ago, Veena Adams took to pulling names out of a hat in order for Voltage to have a team that could challenge for the Unified Tag Team Championships. For all the criticism she gets for her decision making, Veena Adamsâ rather controversial method of creating tag teams produced the Wildcards, who would go on to dethrone the Jaded Hearts at 2019âs Grand Rampage. Xander Payne and Myles wouldnât last long as a team, but they were able to accomplish what they were put together to do. Joining me right now, and hopefully he will put the rumors to rest, is the Voltage Commissioner and Hall of Famer, Captain Charisma!
( A large smirk is across the handsome face of Captain Charisma as he is no doubt remembering the time he spent sharing Voltage with the nuisance that is Veena Adams. It was certainly an interesting time for the gold brand, and an era that Captain Charisma is glad to have survived. )
Molly Waters: Captain Charisma, thank you for joining me. What can you tell us that is going to help dispel some of the rumors that have been swirling around since mid-week?
Captain Charisma: Honestly? I can tell you that theyâre mostly true, Molly. Personally, I have always been an avid fan of tag team wrestling, having been a champion myself along with Mr. DEDEDE years ago, and EAW has a pretty solid history when it comes to tag team wrestling. Some of the greatest names in our sportâs history have held those championships, and Iâm hoping that two of Voltageâs stars can bring those belts back to Sunday nights in the near future.
( Captain Charisma gestures behind him and there is a large, gold tumbler with a handle, standing a bit off to the side. The tumbler is filled with black balls and just to demonstrate it, Captain Charisma gives the handle a bit of a crank. The balls tumble around inside, mixing together, showing everyone how this is going to be something that is likely drawn completely at random. )
Captain Charisma: I donât want to look too far ahead, especially with Bloodsport coming up and one of my favorite events, Territorial Invasion, on the horizon, but there will be an eight team tournament conducted on Voltage over the course of the next couple of months, with the finals being held at Wicked Games. In that tumbler is the name of every single Elitist currently signed to Voltage, and two of them will find themselves with a chance to compete for the Unified Tag Team Championships at a later date.
Molly Waters: So is it fair to call this a mini-Grand prix tournament of sorts?
Captain Charisma: :mjgrin: Well, with the Grand Prix you are able to choose your own partner. Thatâs not really the case here.
Molly Waters: :wow: Thatâs a fair point. Have you included New Eden and IDOL-GUN in this? Those are two already established teams, with all five of them having been a tag team champion in the past.
Captain Charisma: EVERY single Elitist currently signed to the Voltage brand has been included. I understand that Voltage houses two of the most incredible teams to ever step foot inside this company, but sometimes in order to grow, you have to be pushed outside of your comfort zone. I do understand that Hikari Kanno was especially vocal this week about her disdain for partnering with Ms. Extreme, who is not her regular partner, and while I respect that, I donât care much for her opinion on the match. This is not Season 14 Showdown fuckshit, as Voltage has been the best brand for several seasons now, and I will continue to conduct my showâs business in the manner I see fit, and what I feel will give every Voltage Elitist the best possible chance at success. Sometimes that might mean competing in a situation that’s outside of your comfort zone and that is quite alright. Hikari will get her chance to take her frustrations out on Ms. Extreme in a couple of weeks, and that will have to suffice. I expect her to conduct herself in a professional manner tonight, much like I have the same expectations of Ms. Extreme, Mary S. Atlas, and Holly Arrow. Iâm not here to hold anyoneâs hand. Weâre all adults, and I fully expect everyone who ends up with the chance to compete in this tag team tournament will see it for the opportunity that it is; which is to win championship gold.
Molly Waters: When will we find out the teams that will be competing?
( Captain Charisma looks behind him at the tumbler and gives a casual shrug of his shoulders. )
Captain Charisma: Why not now?
( Even backstage, the reaction of the crowd is pretty clear. They are excited for this turn of events, and honestly, they know there is a great chance absolutely all of it could result in the kind of chaos and fuckery that Voltage has become known for. Captain Charisma gestures at the tumbler and motions for Molly to give the handle a good crank. )
Molly Waters: Me?
Captain Charisma: Why not? :wow:
( Molly actually grins and she turns the handle around a few times. The balls rattle around the golden cage and eventually come to a stop. Captain Charisma flips the lid open and withdraws one of the balls from inside. He cracks it open and pulls out a slip of paper, revealing the name to the camera. )
Molly Waters: :oh:!!!! The New Breed Champion Ryan Wilson!!!!!
( Captain Charisma withdraws a second ball and pulls out a slip of paper. Even he has to stifle a laugh at the name on the paper. )
Captain Charisma: Alex Myers. Well thatâs certainly an interesting turn of events given whatâs about to go down between these two men at Bloodsport. Itâll be interesting to see how theyâre able to work together as a team.
Molly Waters: Wow. Iâm not sure what to even say about the prospect of Ryan Wilson teaming up with Alex Myers. I donât really think either of them respect the other, and both are going to be looking to tear one another to pieces come Bloodsport :lupe:.
Captain Charisma: I guess theyâll just have to put their differences aside, not let whatever the outcome at Bloodsport is affect them, and do their best to try and go all the way in this tournament. Shall we make another team?
( Molly nods, clearly intrigued by this entire concept. Once again, she cranks the tumbler, letting the balls roll round for a few times, before Captain Charisma draws another name. )
Captain Charisma: :mjgrin: Myles.
Molly Waters: :damn: The 2021 Cash in the Vault briefcase and New Eden member!
Captain Charisma: Whom Iâm sure is going to be extremely irritated by this whole situation unless the next name I pull out of this thing is Drake King or Minerva.
( Captain Charisma pulls another ball out and once he sees the name, he canât help his reaction. )
Captain Charisma: :mjlol2: :mjlol2: :mjlol2: :mjlol2: :mjlol2:
Molly Waters: :lupe:
( Needless to say, itâs likely not a New Eden member. )
Captain Charisma: Justin Windgate!
Molly Waters: :mjlol:
Captain Charisma: You know what? This is kind of fun.
( From there, Captain Charisma continues to draw names. Joining the teams of Alex Myers and Ryan Wilson and Myles and Justin Windgate are:
LUCAS JOHNSON & SHANE GATES
JAKE SMITH & HOLLY ARROW
MINERVA & DONOVAN DUKE
MARY S. ATLAS & REBECCA BLACKWELL
Itâs the name of âRebecca Blackwellâ that gets Mollyâs attention. )
Molly Waters: Captain Charisma, what can you tell us about Rebecca Blackwell? I know she was signed earlier in the week to the Voltage brand, but Iâm sure a lot of people arenât aware of that.
Captain Charisma: Rebecca Blackwell is an extremely talented wrestler from the U.K. who has experience competing all over the world. Sheâs very skilled in mat wrestling, as well as in hardcore wrestling which you know Voltage specializes in. I believe she can bring a lot to the Voltage roster, which needs new blood, and Iâm pretty happy to see that she is going to get a chance right off the bat in this tournament. She makes her EAW debut next week and I look forward to seeing what she brings to the table.
Molly Waters: Thatâs certainly exciting news!
Captain Charisma: Absolutely. Letâs go ahead and find out what the last two teams that will be involved in this tournament.
( After spinning the tumbler around a few times, Captain Charisma pulls two more balls out of it. He opens up the first one and raises an eyebrow. )
Captain Charisma: Looks like ALL of New Eden will find themselves having to work with other people.
( Captain Charisma reveals the piece of paper to hold the EAW World Championâs name and obviously that is Drake King. He doesnât really waste any time in opening up the second ball, and when he reads the slip of paper he seems to be a bit surprised. )
Molly Waters: Well⊠who is it?
Captain Charisma: :notbad: The Universal Womenâs Champion⊠Ms. Extreme!
( Mollyâs mouth drops open. )
Molly Waters: đ You mean Dramille is going to be a tag team???
Captain Charisma: :comeagain: Do what?
Molly Waters: Nvm. Wow, that is quite a team though. The EAW World Champion and the Universal Womenâs Champion! They may be the early favorites in this tournament!
Captain Charisma: Absolutely. Their accomplishments and respective work ethics speak for themselves even if one of them has an attitude that leaves a lot to be desired.
( So with only one more spot to fill out for the tournament, Captain Charisma pulls out two more balls. He hands one to Molly. )
Captain Charisma: Would you like to do the honors?
Molly Waters: Yes!
( Molly tucks her microphone under her arm and cracks open the ball she is holding. A huge smile crosses her face and she reveals the paper to the camera. )
Molly Waters: Chris Elite!
Captain Charisma: Well hopefully this works out better for him than The Illionaires did :mjlol:
Molly Waters: :mjlol:
( Captain Charisma opens the final ball and he obviously canât really conceal his reaction. )
Captain Charisma: :gladbron: And Chris Eliteâs partner isâŠ. âTHE ACEâ JAMIE OâHARA!
( The reaction from the crowd is wild. Needless to say, they are all for this tag team tournament and the teams that were created by it. Molly Waters signs them off and Voltage fades to commercial break. )
(Commercial for Pop Smokeâs Faith (Deluxe). The ad isnât promoting the album. Instead itâs warning fans about how much of a scammer Steven Victor is and why he should be ashamed for putting the album together.)
(Voltage fades back into the arena to show Bella Braxton standing at the center of the ring with a smile on her face, ready to announce the next match.)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen the following is a TAG TEAM MATCH!!! And it is a contest scheduled forâŠ
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!
(âNothing Helpsâ by ONE OK ROCK plays up to thunderous cheers from the arena. Mary S. Atlas makes her way out to the stage with a smile on her face. She hypes the crowd up for a moment, circling around the stage with a look of anticipation. She makes her way towards the center and looks towards the ring, before beginning to make her way down the ramp.)
Bella Braxton: Introducing first⊠from St. Louis, Missouri⊠weighing in at 125 pounds⊠MOST WANTED⊠MARY S. ATLAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Mary stops at the bottom of the ramp and takes a deep breath. She continues to have a smile on her face all before âNothing Helpsâ is abruptly replaced by âyou should see me in a crownâ by Billie Eilish which plays up to loud boos. Mary looks in frustration towards the stage while Holly Arrow makes her way out from the backstage area. She smirks while making a crying gesture towards Mary. She spreads her arms out before posing, while she makes her way down the ramp and towards the ring.)
Bella Braxton: And her partner⊠from Gold Coast, Australia⊠weighing in at 140 pounds⊠THE DIAMOND DARLING⊠HOLLY ARROW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: Last week Holly Arrow and Mary S. Atlas had the chance to spin the wheel to determine their stipulation for Bloodsport. After a tense argument, they finally spun it and it landed on Fans Bring The Weapons. Let me just say, I miss the fans here, but they also had some wacky weapons to bring the last time one of these happened.
James Peters: We canât forget about the infamous Piranha Tank that one fan brought to Bloodsport 2019 which ended with The Woogieman getting attacked so much he started a PETA campaign. Itâs clear Mary and Holly are going to have some fun beating the shit out of one another, itâs going to be one interesting brawl to say the very least.
Persephone: Despite everything that has happened. The betrayals, the heartbreak, the sorrow; the truth is, nothing has changed. They are both equally trash and they cannot escape that.
(Holly stops at the bottom of the ramp where Mary is already in the ring, itâs clear she wants nothing to do with her unless forced to. Holly makes her way up the top rope and poses while Mary crosses her arms at the center of the ring with a serious look on her face. Mary makes her way towards her corner while Holly follows shortly after, both of them look at one another with cold looks on their faces. No words need to be exchanged while âyou should see me in a crownâ fades out.)
(âDream In Driveâ by the Oral Cigarettes plays up to the loud boos of the crowd while Hikari Kanno makes her way out from the backstage area. She nods her head, her face turning much more serious before making her way down the ramp and towards the ring. She has a big smirk on her face full of confidence, but soon it goes away as she knows exactly who her partner tonight is.)
Bella Braxton: And their opponents, first⊠from Okinawa, Japan⊠weighing in at 121 pounds⊠NIHON NO HOSEKI⊠HIKARI KANNO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Hikari begins to make her way down the ramp but just like the previous team, âDream In Driveâ is replaced by âZombieâ by Bad Wolves. Hikari keeps walking towards the ring though, not giving a single fuck while Ms.
Extreme makes her way out to the stage. She has the Universal Womenâs Championship resting on her shoulder, taking it off and looking at it before raising it in the air. Pyro begins to shoot out from the stage while she looks around with a smirk on her face. She simply looks towards Hikari before shaking her head as the two women make their way to the ring.)
Bells Braxton: And her partner⊠from Calabasas, California⊠weighing in at 135 pounds⊠she is the EAW UNIVERSAL WOMENâS CHAMPION!!!!!!!!!! THE RED QUEEN⊠MS. EXTREME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rich Russillo: And here comes the team that should be the most interesting in this match. Meeting one another last week, both of them raised the stakes for an already intense match at Bloodsport. The winner gets the Championship, and the right to shave the head of the other. Personally, I love it. :mjlit:
James Peters: Well the problem is, and this goes for both teams, are they going to be able to coexist tonight? There’s a lot of bad blood in this match and who knows what’s going to happen as a result. All I know is that it’s going to be one hell of a match with an interesting result either way.
Persephone: Hear me out, they BOTH shave their heads! Hah, I’m a genius.
(Ms. Extreme makes her way up the steel steps and enters into the ring, raising her Universal Women’s Championship in the air. But Hikari quickly slides into the ring, stepping in the way and standing in front of her while spreading her arms out Ms. Extreme looks irritated but shakes it off and keeps her cool. Both of them make their way towards their corner while ‘Dream In Drive’ fades out. Both of them begin to bicker at one another while the ref rings the bell.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Rich Russillo: Here we go, this tag team match is underway! Hikari Kanno is reluctantly starting out with her team while the former Most Wanted Arrow partners are still arguing over who should go first. I think Holly Arrow has snapped though and has decided to go up to bat for her team. Both Holly and Hikari are beginning to circle around the ring quickly, before both of them lock up into a collar-and-elbow tie up at the center of the ring! Both of them are holding their ground, trying to jockey for position. But in an instant before Holly can do anything, it’s Hikari that grabs her by the head and sends a sharp knee towards her abdomen! Holly is forced to retreat back but she’s attempting to get right back to action by running towards Hikari before she can get the better of her! BUT BEFORE SHE CAN DO THAT HIKARI MEETS HER WITH A CLEAN BACK ELBOW TO THE BRIDGE OF HER NOSE!
James Peters: Hikari has always been someone who has thought of herself above everyone else, I think she wants to prove exactly why to everyone else in the match as well. I’m sure it’ll be a statement if Hikari gets the pin for her team while Ms. Extreme is watching on the apron. Holly is beginning to get up to her feet while shaking herself off, meanwhile Hikari waits patiently for her to get back up in the process. Both of them are looking to lock up again, but I don’t think that’s a good idea for Holly considering what just happened beforehand. BUT HOLLY RETURNS THE FAVOR SENDING A HEADBUTT TO HER SKULL TO TAKE HER DOWN TO THE MAT! Hikari slides down to a seated position grabbing her nose this time, definitely not expecting the sudden response by Holly.
Persephone: Well if she doesn’t expect the unexpected, then why the hell is she in the Universal Women’s Championship match at Bloodsport? To add onto that, why is Camille Jane Ava the Universal Women’s Champion?!
Rich Russillo: Well anyways, it looks like Hikari isn’t going to take this gesture so kindly. Holly advances towards her, but it’s Hikari that slaps her across the face! What a sign of disrespect by the former Unified Tag Team Champion, but you can see the smirk beginning to grow on Holly’s face. HOLLY GOES FOR A CLOTHESLINE, BUT IT’S HIKARI THAT CONNECTS WITH A THRUST KICK BEFORE SHE CAN! Holly isn’t taken down to the ground, instead she stumbles backwards trying to keep herself upwards. She knows that the one thing her team needs for the victory is the upper hand in the early going, but Hikari is making that hard for her to accomplish. Hikari runs towards Holly to follow up, BUT HOLLY RUNS FORWARD AS WELL CATCHING HIKARI AGAINST HER FACE WITH A RUNNING FOREARM SMASH!
James Peters: Hikari stumbling up to her feet clearly not expecting that, BUT SHE DIDN’T EXPECT THE SLINGBLADE BY HOLLY EITHER TO TAKE HER DOWN TO THE MAT! Hikari rolling out of the ring seeing the situation that she finds herself in, BUT HOLLY LOOKS TO KEEP THE OFFENSE GOING RUNNING THE ROPES BEFORE GOING FOR A TOPE SUICIDA TO TAKE HIKARI DOWN TO THE GROUND! But it’s Hikari that expected her to follow up with her assault, quickly diving out of the way causing Holly to tumble and fall against the barricade! Hikari sees the opportunity that presents itself, grabbing Holly and wasting no time rolling her back into the ring. Hikari is back in the ring as well, grabbing Holly by the hair and tugging her back up to her feet. BEFORE TURNING HER AROUND AND DROPPING HER ON HER NECK WITH A DRAGON SUPLEX!
Persephone: I swear I heard her neck snap after she did that, DO IT AGAIN!
Rich Russillo: Holly is taken down to the mat but she uses the momentum to roll up to a knee. She’s grabbing the back of her neck trying to shake it off, but she’s not going to have long with Hikari quickly approaching her. HIKARI ONCE AGAIN LOOKING TO DROP HER DOWN ON HER NECK BY LIFTING HER UP AND TURNING HER AROUND INTO A GERMAN SUPLEX! But itâs Holly that manages to stop her with a back elbow strike towards her face! Hikari trying to keep a hold of Holly, but Holly responds with another back elbow! HIKARI OUT OF DESPERATION QUICKLY TRANSITIONS IT AND TURNS IT INTO A CRUCIFIX PIN!
OOONNNEEE!!!
James Peters: But Holly gets the shoulder up before it can even reach a two count! Both of them are back up to their feet quickly, BUT ITâS HIKARI THAT GRABS HOLLY BY THE ARM AND TAKES HER DOWN TO THE MAT WITH AN ARM DRAG! BUT BEFORE HIKARI CAN CAPITALIZE ITâS HOLLY THAT GRABS HER BY THE HEAD AND ROLLS HER UP INTO AN INSIDE CRADLE! But before the ref can even count its Hikari that kicks out. Both of them are once again back up, BUT ITâS HOLLY THATâS FASTER LEAPING INTO THE AIR AND TAKING HIKARI DOWN TO THE GROUND WITH A DROPKICK TO HER CHEST!
Persephone: Iâm just shocked sheâs able to jump that high, donât break your knee! Actually, on second thoughtâŠ
Rich Russillo: Holly rolling up to a knee and grabbing the arm of Hikari before sending her towards her corner with an Irish whip. Holly running forward, BEFORE CONNECTING WITH A EUROPEAN UPPERCUT ACROSS HER JAW! Hikari is stunned, but Holly has her propped up using her arm. Before using her other to connect with one more European Uppercut for good measure! Holly reaching out her hand, you can see the reluctance on the face of Mary though.
TAG!
James Peters: TAG TO MARY! Mary enters into the ring while Holly grabs Hikari and brings her towards the center of the ring. Holly pushes Hikari towards Mary, WHILE MARY POPS HER UP AND TRANSITIONS HIKARI INTO A GERMAN SUPLEX BY HOLLY! Shades of Most Wanted Arrow in the teamwork of Holly Arrow and Mary S. Atlas, but how long can they keep this up? Hikari trying to roll back up to her feet to the best of her ability, seeing the situation that sheâs in. BUT ITâS MARY THAT STEPS FORWARD AND CONNECTS WITH A BICYCLE KICK TO THE JAW OF HIKARI TO TAKE HER DOWN TO THE GROUND!
Persephone: Sheâs getting her ass whooped! As long as she doesnât tag out, this match actually might be finished quicker than I anticipated!
James Peters: Well thatâs not going to be as easy as it seems, all of the competitors in this match have the willpower to push on and will not finish until they’re on top.
Persephone: Shut up, James.
Rich Russillo: Despite the damage being inflicted right now, Hikari is still pushing through. Fighting through all the pain and agony to stay in this match, but I donât think Mary approves of that at the moment. Mary runs towards her, but Hikari manages to sidestep just in time and throw Mary towards the ropes. Mary rebounds off the ropes trying to use the momentum to her advantage, BUT ITâS HIKARI THAT CONNECTS WITH A BASEMENT DROPKICK TAKING MARY DOWN TO THE GROUND!
James Peters: Both of them are back up, MARY TRYING TO TAKE HIKARI BY SURPRISE AND GO FOR A PELE KICK! But Hikari manages to dodge it just in time while Mary lands on her knees! Mary trying to get back up to her feet, BUT ITâS HIKARI THAT STEPS FORWARD AND CONNECTS WITH A SUPERKICK TOWARDS THE JAW OF MARY TO TAKE HER DOWN TO THE MAT! Mary is right back up making her way towards Hikari once again, BUT HIKARI LIFTS HER UP AND DROPS HER DOWN INTO BRIGHTSTAR! HIGH ANGLE URANAGE SLAM CONNECTS WHILE HIKARI HOOKS THE LEG FOR THE PIN!
OOOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOOO!!!!
Persephone: Sadly, kick out by Mary.
Rich Russillo: Hikari begins to heave herself up to her feet, falling back against the corner to catch her breath before making her way towards Holly once again. Hikari brings Mary back up to her feet slowly, BEFORE PULLING HER IN AND GOING FOR A SAITO SUPLEX! BUT MARY USES THE MOMENTUM TO PULL HER IN AND TAKE HER DOWN TO THE MAT WITH A SHORT-ARM LARIAT! But itâs something that Hikari manages to duck under, BEFORE TURNING AROUND AND CONNECTING WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO THE BACK OF HER HEAD! Hikari grabs Mary by the hair and shoves her into her corner, before attacking her with a barrage of punches towards her head! Hikari sends her towards the opposite corner before turning around and getting ready!
TAG!
James Peters: BUT MS. EXTREME TAGS HERSELF IN! She wants her share of participation in this match, and I think itâs become clear as this match continues to go on that Hikari wasnât going to let that happen. Ms. Extreme entering into the ring paying no regard to the feelings of Hikari, RUNNING FORWARD AND SENDING A FOREARM SHOT TO THE HEAD OF MARY! Ms. Extreme grabbing the head of Mary and throwing her towards the center of the ring, quickly climbing up to the top rope and setting herself up while Mary begins to get back up to her feet. MS. EXTREME LAUNCHES OFF THE TOP ROPE AND TAKES MARY DOWN TO THE GROUND WITH A BIG BLOCKBUSTER!
Persephone: Ugh, who let the adopted woman in this match? Now I have nothing to be excited for, but itâs not like there was any excitement to be had in the first place.
Rich Russillo: Ms. Extreme is back up to her feet while Mary slowly begins to stagger up as well, BEFORE GRABBING HER AND LAUNCHING HER THROUGH THE AIR WITH AN EXPLODER SUPLEX! Mary tumbling down to the ground, but trying to crawl back up to her feet. BUT BEFORE THAT CAN HAPPEN ITâS MS. EXTREME THAT RUNS FORWARD AND CONNECTS WITH A SLIDING DROPKICK TOWARDS THE SIDE OF HER HEAD!
James Peters: Ms. Extreme running forward while Mary is seated on the canvas, RUNNING FORWARD AND GOING FOR A SLIDING D! But itâs Mary that moves out of the way of that, before anything else can happen Ms. Extreme scrambles up to her feet trying to make sure the momentum is still in her corner. BUT ITâS MARY WITH A BUZZSAW KICK TO THE SIDE OF HER FACE TAKING HER DOWN TO THE MAT!
Persephone: Who the fuck names a move the Sliding D. :dahell: Yâall are really just looking for new ways to embarrass yourself huh?
Rich Russillo: Ms. Extreme isnât down just yet, managing to keep herself up just for a moment. Ms. Extreme finds herself in a tough position at the moment, AND IT MIGHT JUST GET WORSE WITH MARY CONNECTING WITH A DISCUS ELBOW TO SEND HER DOWN TO THE MAT! Mary recollecting herself, seeing what sheâs been through in this match and brings Ms. Extreme back up to her feet. Mary has a hold of her making her way towards her corner, looking to follow up with something.
TAG!
James Peters: AND A TAG TO HOLLY BY MARY! Both of them realize that thereâs a chance that this match can be finished right here. HOLLY WITH A SPINNING BACK ELBOW TO MS. EXTREME! WHICH LEADS HER RIGHT INTO WELCOME TO MARYLAND! THE DOUBLE KNEE FACEBREAKER TAKES HER DOWN TO THE GROUND! THE DOUBLE TEAM FINISHER FORMERLY KNOWN AS WELCOME 2 MARYLAND CONNECTS WHILE HOLLY HOOKS THE LEG AND GOES FOR THE PIN!
OOONNNEEE!!!
Persephone: Please be it, please be it…
Rich Russillo: Hikari tries to enter into the ring to help her partner out, knowing that looking past her hatred towards the Universal Womenâs Champion, thereâs a match to be won. But I donât think Mary is going to let that happen, running towards Hikari!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!!
James Peters: MARY LEAPING THROUGH THE AIR AND LOOKING TO GO FOR ANOTHER WELCOME TO MARYLAND TOWARDS HIKARI! THE DOUBLE KNEE FACEBREAKER COULD JUST BE A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR TOWARDS HER TEAM’S VICTORY!
TTTTTHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
âŠ
âŠ
âŠ
Persephone: FUCK!
Rich Russillo: BUT HIKARI CONNECTS WITH ALLELUIA ON TOP OF HOLLY! HIKARI MANAGES TO TURN THE DOUBLE KNEE FACEBREAKER INTO A NORTHERN LIGHTS BOMB TO BREAK UP THE PIN! WHAT A SMART TACTIC BY HIKARI KANNO!
James Peters: This match continues, but mingled with the pain and agony shows a pissed off look on the face of Holly. If it wasnât for Hikari, she wouldâve gotten the win. But clearly the Universal Womenâs Championship contender had other plans instead. Holly grabbing Ms. Extreme by the head, but Ms. Extreme tries to fight out of it with as many shots towards the gut as she can muster out! Holly forced to shove Ms. Extreme away, BUT THAT DOESNâT SEEM TO BE THE BEST IDEA WITH MS. EXTREME STEPPING FORWARD AND GOING FOR A SUPERKICK TO THE JAW OF HOLLY!
Persephone: But she missed like a fucking cunt. Seriously, why canât people learn how to wrestle properly; it would make these sorts of matches so much more interesting. But instead of that, thereâs a lack of interest.
Rich Russillo: HOLLY MOVING OUT OF THE WAY OF THE SUPERKICK BEFORE CONNECTING WITH ONE OF HER OWN! HOLLY WITH MARYâS LEAST FAVORITE KICK! SUPERKICK TO THE JAW OF MS. EXTREME TAKING HER DOWN TO THE MAT! YOU CAN SEE THE PISSED OFF EXPRESSION FROM MARY WHILE HOLLY LOOKS DIRECTLY AT HER, DROPPING DOWN AND HOOKING THE LEG FOR A PIN ATTEMPT!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTTWWWWWOOOOOO!!!!!
TTTTTTTHHHHHHRRRRRRRRREEEE-
James Peters: BUT MS. EXTREME MANAGES TO GET THE SHOULDER UP! HOW IS SHE ABLE TO LAST IN THIS MATCHUP?!
Persephone: Because sheâs a fucking bitch James, thatâs why. The adopted Ava doesnât want to see me happy, so she longs out the match and makes me depressed instead. This is why we canât have nice things around here.
Rich Russillo: Holly is exasperated, clearly willing to push through though. Ms. Extreme is beginning to show life, slowly getting back up to her feet. She follows Holly but she isnât fast enough, Holly is back up to her feet while both of them look at one another. You can see the exhaustion painted all over them, itâs clear this match has gone on long enough and one way or another this needs to be finished. And thatâs exactly what they plan to do, both Holly and Ms. Extreme lunge towards one another and begin to trade brutal fists!
James Peters: Both of them are throwing haymakers at one another to absolutely no end! Holly is pushing Ms. Extreme towards the ropes while she tries to fend off the attack to the best of her abilities! Ms. Extreme throwing Holly towards the ropes in an act of desperation, BUT ITâS HOLLY RUNNING FORWARD AND GOING FOR SHORYUKEN! JUMPING UPPERCUT TOWARDS THE JAW OF MS. EXTREME COULD JUST KNOCK HER OUT COLD!
Persephone: Itâs a whole new low when you have a jumping uppercut as your finisher.
Holly Arrow: (Off-Mic) SHORYUKE- FUCK!
Rich Russillo: Ms. Extreme moves out of the way before the Jumping Uppercut can connect! Ms. Extreme quickly grabbing hold of her, BEFORE THROWING HER INTO THE RINGPOST SHOULDER FIRST! Holly slowly prying herself out of the corner and backing herself up against the corner, BEFORE MS. EXTREME RUNS FORWARD AND SENDS A FOREARM TOWARDS THE FACE OF HOLLY ARROW!
TAG!
James Peters: Ms. Extreme is dragging Holly out of the corner and setting her up, but I don’t think she sees that Mary has been tagged in! TWIST OF FATE! BUT MARY RUNNING FORWARD AND CONNECTING WITH A RUNNING KNEE STRIKE TO HER BACK! Mary saves her partner before bringing her up to her feet, AND TAKING MS. EXTREME DOWN TO THE MAT WITH A QUICK RIPCORD KNEE STRIKE TO HER JAW TAKING HER DOWN TO THE MAT!
Persephone: She was that stupid to believe that Holly WOULDNâT tag to Mary? Come on, even I knew that and Iâm not even in the match.
Rich Russillo: Mary falls back into the corner yet is beginning to climb up to the top rope now, looking to fly! But Ms. Extreme before she can do anything sends a boot to her face completely halting her! Mary trying to fight back but Ms. Extreme is already climbing up to the top to join her, and I donât think thatâs a good situation for her. Both of them are trading punches repeatedly, BUT ITâS MS. EXTREME WITH A SICKENING HEADBUTT TOWARDS THE FACE OF MARY! Mary is stunned as this might be the perfect opportunity to capitalize for the Universal Womenâs Champion. MS. EXTREME GOING FOR GLASS CEILING! TOP ROPE STUNNER TO TAKE OUT MARY!
James Peters: BUT MARY PUSHES MS. EXTREME OFF THE TOP ROPE BEFORE SHE CAN GO FOR GLASS CEILING! The Top Rope Stunner is halted for a moment while Mary stands on the top rope, AND LAUNCHES OFF CRUSHING MS. EXTREME WITH A FROG SPLASH! Mary is back in this match and she knows it. Mary quickly bringing up Ms. Extreme while she has the chance, BEFORE TAKING HER DOWN TO THE MAT WITH THE MOST WANTED DDT! BUTTERFLY DDT SPIKES MS. EXTREME DOWN TO THE GROUND!
Persephone: Is the only phrase she can think of most wanted? Like Jesus girl you have to be creative to make it around here, which gives me a basic understanding as to why nobody is successful here in EAW.
Rich Russillo: Mary sees the opportunity to possibly get the biggest win of her career and beat the Universal Womenâs Champion! This could place her on the map and certainly make a statement to her partner on the apron. Mary is setting Ms. Extreme up while waiting in the corner, MARY GOING FOR WELCOME TO MARYLAND! RUNNING DOUBLE KNEE FACEBREAKER TOWARDS THE FACE OF MS. EXTREME TO TAKE HER DOWN TO THE GROUND!
James Peters: BUT ITâS MS. EXTREME THAT LEAPS OVER HER AND TAKES HER DOWN TO THE MAT WITH CODE RED! SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMB COUNTERS MARY AND SENDS HER DOWN! Ms. Extreme is crawling with all the power that she has left in her body, trying to make her way towards the corner and pull herself up using the turnbuckles. But sheâs making her way up the top rope as well, looking to set her up. Mary is still out cold and if there was a chance for Ms. Extreme to capitalize while she still can, this is her opportunity.
Persephone: What in the DragonBall did I just see her do?
Rich Russillo: SHE LEAPS OFF THE TOP ROPE AND CONNECTS WITH A DIVING DOUBLE FOOT STOMP TO THE CHEST OF MARY! A BLIND FURY CONNECTS TAKING ALL OF THE BREATH OUT OF MARYâS BODY! MS. EXTREME ROLLING BACKWARDS AND HOOKING THE LEG ON MARY! WHILE HIKARI RUNS INTO THE RING AND CONNECTS WITH A FOREARM SHOT TO THE FACE OF HOLLY BEFORE SHE CAN EVEN REACT! SENDING HER OFF THE APRON AND TO RINGSIDE!
OOONNNEEE!!!
TTTTWWWWOOOO!!!
TTTTTHHHHHHRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEE!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(âZombieâ blasts through the speakers of the arena while Ms. Extreme crawls off of Mary. She shakes herself off with an exasperated look, trying to catch her breath with her hands on her hips. The referee makes his way over and hands her the Universal Womenâs Championship, which she takes before raising high in the air with a smirk on her face. She begins to make her way over to the top rope, spreading her arms out while the crowd gives a positive reaction and cheers in response to the Champion.)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen here are your winners⊠THE TEAM OF THE EAW UNIVERSAL WOMENâS CHAMPION MS. EXTREME, AND HIKARI KANNO!!!!!!!!!!
James Peters: What a match that weâve just seen from four of Voltageâs must see female Elitists. A surprise amount of cooperation was shown from each team, all of them putting their differences aside in order to get the victory. But in the end there was only one team that could come out on top, and that was the competitors in the Universal Womenâs Championship match at Bloodsport.
Persephone: Iâm just glad the match is over. I never really cared who won, itâs not like I did for any match in the first place. All I know is that weâre one step closer to this horrendous show finally being over tonight.
Rich Russillo: Valiant effort by Mary S. Atlas and Holly Arrow, both showing significant strides in this match against World Championship competitors, but their efforts werenât enough. Could all of this be a preview of Bloodsport? With Mary S. Atlas taking the pin and Ms. Extreme standing on top above them all? Who knows, but congratulations to Hikari and Ms. Extreme!
(Ms. Extreme makes her way off the top rope and turns around, seeing the face of Hikari Kanno right in front of her. Hikari points towards the Universal Womenâs Championship, absolutely no words are needed to be said. Ms. Extreme raises her Championship in the air with pride while the two opponents stare one another down, which is the last shot seen before Voltage fades out.)
(Voltage fades to the shot of Alex Myers lingering in an unknown location backstage. Alex, in a dimly lit room, doesn’t disclose the location and begins to eerily look at the camera. Alex begins to pave around the room and almost appears frantic. They begin to calm themself and then sit down in a chair and focus on the camera.)
Alex Myers: Two weeks away. Two weeks away from a fairy tale fantasy being drowned inside that piranha tank, they eat away the unholy flesh that Ryan Wilson wishes were God like. Fake Gods so often forget the mortalsâŠAnd Ryan is a prime example of such. Ryan is a prime example of how a few magical moments can lead to the deluded forgetting who they were before this achievement that now defines them. Not me. Never me.
Alex Myers: I have and will always leave my very essence inside that ring when I perform. I will leave every fiber of my being and every particle of my tear drops to marinate inside the pools of blood that I will leave inside the ring before my dreams disappear from my grasp. And if they do, if Iâm unable to capture victory on any occasion, Iâll make it my dying breathâs mission to inflict as much pain as possible on whoever it is that wants to take my story away from me.
(Alex now gets to their feet and throws the chair across the room. They grind their teeth and look towards the camera once again. They comb their hands through their hair and look very irritated as they stand in front of the positioned camera.)
Alex Myers: The anxiety-inducing position that I can be put in in the face of certain results is never a welcomed feeling, but it also isnât a new feeling. Everything behind me and all the pain Iâve felt only fuels my drive to make it known my intentions in EAW. Iâll never again be forgotten about and never again will the name Alex Myers be associated with anything apart from blood, cruelty and violence. Truth be told, everyone else can measure their accomplishments with shiny gold belts and handout medals, but to know youâve truly hurt someone and down to their core changed them as a person through such intense painâŠthatâs worth living for.
(Alex smiles and lightly laughs. They seem to have collected themself and they put their hands together and point them to the camera.)
Alex Myers: And Ryan Wilson continues to believe that heâs only got better days ahead of him because heâs now wearing the New Breed title around his waist. He thinks now that doubt wonât enter his mind and pain wonât creep up on the back of his unsuspecting neck. But I assure you, it will. I will bring you pain like never before and that isnât a threat, itâs a promise.
(Alex Myers points to a picture on the wall, a framed picture of Ryan Wilsonâs win at Pain For Pride. Alex puts their hands on the glass framed picture.)
Alex Myers: You see a gold championship belt, now only see gold. The red of your blood has become too unfamiliar to you and the suffering of true agony has become too foreign to someone who is supposedly a champion in this company. Heâs forgotten what it was like to struggle. Itâs my job to not only remind him, but to show him that his mistakes were grave. Sometimes, the continued error in judgement just renders a competitor too far gone. Beyond saving and beyond just needing a reminder that theyâre going to end up the worse for their arrogance. Ryan needs a permanent scar that will haunt his careerâs greatest moment for years to come.
(Alex cracks the glass in their hand and rips the picture of Ryan in half.)
Alex Myers: See, Pain For Pride was his crowning moment. For the first time in a long journey, he had finally overcome. But now? Now heâs acting as if he never had to. Heâs trying masquerade the deeply rooted personal issues with his entire career until that win, but Iâll reveal them. Iâll reveal them and cause him just as much mental and emotional pain as physical. To drown you in that tank will not only be the end of your physical run, Ryan, it would be your career finally being flushed down the drown you always ran from. Poetic justice, some might say.
Alex Myers: Ryan, your sins will not only cost you that New Breed title, but everything you stand for. Seeing as how material titles are all that you really stand for. If I were to rip that away, you couldnât take that pain. Youâve finally felt an unparalleled lust for more after this high youâve been riding, but what about when I take it away? What then for Ryan Wilson? Nothing for Ryan Wilson. Nothing but what was always coming and what Iâve always had to feel, pain, misery, despair and regret. Every negative emotion inside you coming back out in the face of your brutal beat down at Bloodsport, when that darkness re-enters your life, itâll never leave.
Alex Myers: I promise.
Alex Myers: Youâll know firsthand the power this drive to show others the pain that Iâve had to feel can give you, but by then, it will have been too late because youâll have seen your best days and gotten lost in them. The regret and anxiety that youâll never again feel so treasured and so important, scary thoughts, arenât they?
Alex Myers: Ryan, just know that Iâm arriving with the most violent intentions at Bloodsport. Iâm coming to take the title, Iâm coming to top away your love, but Iâm coming above all to revel in the sorrows of your greatest defeat. To bring you the most striking and excruciatingly painful experience possible and put you out to pasture. Let the pain eat you alive after Iâm done with you.
Alex Myers: Ryan, this has become personal and Iâll personally see to it that you leave Bloodsport in pieces at the hands of those piranhas. Youâll drown and be eaten alive at the same time. No more fitting fate for a coward. Surrounded by the walls of your past and being eaten by the present. Your fate is now mine to write and Iâll stop at nothing to bring you the worst pain any elitist could and will ever feel inside those 4 roped boundaries of the ring.
Alex Myers: Iâll bring you straight down to hell, then back to the morbid reality of the earth. Of EAW. Of your career. The nightmarish sight of Alex Myersâ blood staining your New Breed title as he gazes upon it, knowing heâs just driven a dagger through your heart. What a satisfying feeling that will be. So, Ryan, if I were you, Iâd watch every angle and every corner tonight because I will be. Iâll be watching your match with close eye and every action on your part. Keep your head on a swivel because you can never be too safe.
(Alex Myers looks around and motions as if theyâre paranoid.)
Alex Myers: Donât trust anything, Ryan, especially not a feeble dream that your title reign is safe. At Bloodsport, Iâll live up to the eventâs name and leave you in a pool of yours, right up until Iâm given the chance to dump your body into that piranha filled tank.
(Alex stares into the camera and intensely grabs it out of the tripod stand.)
Alex Myers: This is a promise, Ryan, at Bloodsport or given the first chance, Iâll punish you and put a worse and more traumatic beating on you than you couldâve ever been prepared for. Iâll leave you wishing that Alex Myers was just the nightmare youâll find out he is. Youâll forever wish Alex Myers was a name you could forget. But Iâll be with you forever. Iâll own you forever.
(Alex smashes the camera on the ground and it cracks as it just barely captures them walking off into the dark. The shot fades to the Voltage commentary team.)
James Peters: We get a fair share ofâŠdark entities in EAW, but if I were Ryan Wilson, Iâd be afraid. Not only for my title reign, but for my life.
Persephone: No lie there, this kid probably stalks and kills people by the way they sound, fucking weirdo.
Rich Russillo: They clearly have a lot on their mind and in their heart, I just hope for Ryanâs sake that it isnât detrimental to his health.
Persephone: I hope they both get eaten by those killer fishes during that fucking match. We shouldâve retired the New Breed title and stopped giving out participation belts to these cuckheads, they need to grow up and win some real fucking titles. Shaking my head.
James Peters: Well, thank you for sticking with us on Voltage! Weâve got tag team action coming up next!
DONOVAN DUKE AND DANNY TANNER DEF. RYAN WILSON AND SHANE GATES – TBP ASAP
(Promotional ad for Bloodsport, where Ryan Wilson faces Alex Myers in a Piranha Deathmatch for the New Breed Championship.)
[SCREENBAR – Backstage in the Dickies Arena]
(The camera cuts to show the one-time duo of Donovan Duke and Danny Tanner, walking along the backstage halls together, discussing the match. Well, itâs more-so Danny Tanner following Donovan Duke and talking by himself, but same difference. Danny appears to be completely elated, confident for what appears to be the first time ever, due to the first ever victory heâs had in his EAW Career! As they continue walking down the EAW hallways, they eventually run into Sofia Clarke, whoâs holding an EAW-microphone, approaching the two. Donovan appears open for an interview, however, Danny Tanner has been clearly dreading this moment due to their little run-in a few days ago. His eyes widen, as he takes just a slight step behind Donovan Duke.)
Sofia Clarke: Donovan, Danny, if youâre not busy or needing to take another phone call again :mjlol: Iâd like to ask you a few questions?
Danny Tanner: Well actuall-
Donovan Duke: Sure! :mjgrin:
(Sofia Clarke and Donovan Duke both have grins on their faces, whilst Danny Tanner is doing his best to avoid eye contact.)
Sofia Clarke: First of all, congratulations on your victory, beating a champion is always good news. What are your thoughts on this, the both of you? Some good omens for the future of this Season?
Donovan Duke: Well, Sofia, itâs more of the same, really. Itâs not something Iâve never done before, I have victories over countless champions at this point, so I donât see it as a âGood Omenâ, just something Iâve evinced before. Hell, I indirectly beat champions before, now Iâm Mr. 24/7. What lies ahead of me is fairly certain, near-pledged at this point. I know my⊠âpartnerâ over here, though? Iâm sure he has a totally different outlook on things.
(Donovan Duke pats him on the back, before shoving Danny Tanner into the forefront of the interview, chiefly inserting him slap bang in front of Sofia Clarke, someone who heâs already considered to be gorgeous, causing him to act up. Donovan again pats his back-)
Danny Tanner: H-hi. Question?
Donovan Duke: :snoop:
(Danny begins to daven the question again in his mind for a few seconds, before coming to the foregone conclusion he canât avoid answering, so he stops his stalling.)
Danny Tanner: Well, this victory means a lot to me! Not only is it a victory over the New Breed Champion, someone I am a fan of, and it comes with great joy to beat this man with a name such as his. I donât know about Donovan, but my arms are still shaking out of being so taken aback, I mean, Iâm shook! Earlier I told Donovan how much it shows hospitality for me to get a win like this in EAW, and maybe one day⊠Iâll emulate that victory as I do video games, if you get what I mean! Basically it just feels like something I could settle into, though, I know thatâs not exactly how it works; Iâm willing to try my best and reach my ultimate goal! Itâs pretty cool to be here in general, this roster is really talented, especially the Womenâs DivisionâŠ
Danny Tanner: Plus, Iâm pretty grateful actually. I mean, Donovan Duke is really talented too, and he managed to help me get that victory. Iâm like a dog with two tails because of his help! Delighted. Heâs just so good :whew:!!! So, Donovan, thank you so much! It really means a lot knowing youâre such a good guy, such a good wrestler. As a matter of fact, I donât even want to face him at Bloodsport, really. Iâm just too grateful for it, so lucky for him to be there. Iâll remember this moment forever, to be completely honest, Donovan.
(Donovan Duke facepalms.)
Donovan Duke: :skip:!! Just, nevermind, just move on.
Sofia Clarke: Well, with that Bloodsport match in mind, does this victory give either of you any more confidence than previously thought? Or are you at all worried about your chances, albeit slim, or vastly?
Danny Tanner: I donât think Iâve ever not been worried, but staying optimistic always helps control that. Iâm a student of the game, after all, when I wasnât watching anime or playing video games, or doing anything else after school used to excuse me watching anime or playing video games, wrestling was my go-to and Iâve learned so much ever since. Something good always happens, as weâve seen here. Iâve been thinking about this match a lot, I really have. When Iâm not doing as I mentioned earlier, or thinking about Hikar- hahaha nevermind, Iâm thinking about Bloodsport. It damn well means a lot!
Donovan Duke: :francis:, listen, Iâm not worried about anyone in this match, just like I wasnât worried about the 16, 17, 18 other people at Pain For Pride. I threw more over than I am facing here, the only difference here is thatâs now how I win. Realistically, though, I wonât Jon Kelton the contract and allow anyone else to hold it until they win the battle royal that I did. With that being said, I think we already know Shane canât, and the fact that Danny-
(But before Donovan Duke can finish his sentence, the sound of Danny Tanner screaming is heard, jumping behind Donovan due to something having startled him badly. Donovan appears confused, scrunching up his eyebrows, and looking over to Donovan; slapping him on the forehead.)
Donovan Duke: Will you cut it out, du-
Danny Tanner: OVER THERE!
(Donovan shakes his head, before turning his head to the right – where Danny Tanner began to point at – as he notices Lizzie The Doll somehow there, sat atop a poster of 2021âs Bloodsport event. Donovan begins to shake his head, thinking nothing of the situation. Donovan reaches out for the doll…)
Donovan Duke: Just chill out. Shane Gates probably left it here or something-
**SMASH!**
(And suddenly⊠the lights go out; the lights having suddenly popped, glass smashing, with shards falling to the floor. One nearly cuts Sofia in the arm, so she runs off before any damage is done. Donovan continued to reach for the doll, however, only for his hand to grasp⊠nothing. His hand was completely empty.)
Donovan Duke: What the hell??
(The lights then come back on; lightbulb shattered, somewhat flickery, but on nevertheless. This time, Lizzie appears behind Danny, and Donovan notices. His eyes widen, and this is something Danny picks up on. He turns around, and sees Lizzie The Doll extremely close up. But as soon as he begins to scream, one by one the lights in the hallway begin to turn off, before following a Mexican wave-like pattern, as they turn off and on to create a domino effect of lights.)
Danny Tanner: Is this roster trying to get me killed? Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck-
(Donovan Duke places his hand over Danny Tannerâs mouth, as he listens out for a noise. The sound of white noise fizzling in the background, as weâve heard countless times before, as Donovan grabs Danny by the wrists and places his hands over his ears.)
Donovan Duke: Cover your damn ears, idiot!
(And that they do. After a few seconds of build up, they come to a stop, and the lights turn back on. Donovan and Danny finally remove their hands from their ears, before looking around, then back at each other.)
Danny Tanner: Is⊠is it gone?
Donovan Duke: :francis: Just Shane Gates being Shane Gates, itâs getting kinda repetitive at this point-
**CRASH!**
(And suddenly, a chair flies straight past their heads, crashing against the wall; slightly making Donovan go into defense mode, and Danny behind Donovan in hiding mode *again*. Donovan shoves Danny back, before kneeling down and grabbing the chair. The second he stands back up, they both turn around at the same time, only to see Lizzie there AGAIN. Lizzie appears to be walking towards them, extremely slowly, step, by step, by step. Getting closer, and closer, inching nearer… indistinguishable, yet not inaudible sounds begin to come from the doll, speaking words that donât even make sense. A jumbled mess of letters. Before suddenly, sheâs cut offâŠ)
???: Where is she!?!?!
(As the sound of a female voice is heard, Donovan and Danny turn their heads for JUST a split second, and as they turn back? Lizzie is gone, completely vanished. They look back again, as they see both Shane Gates and Elizabeth running through the halls, with Elizabeth seemingly desperate to catch Lizzie, who had just escaped out of thin air. They approach Donovan and Danny, before hearing the sounds of glass cracking underneath the floor. They look down, before back up, as they see the lightbulb and glass smashed; it instantly clicks that Lizzie was here. Along with hearing the mumbling, the shattered lightbulb was the evidence they needed to determine where she was. Elizabeth sighs, almost catching the doll, before she turns to face Donovan and Danny Tanner.)
Elizabeth: *sigh* We missed her. Mr. Duke, she was here, correct?
(Donovan nods, before Elizabeth turns around to Shane.)
Elizabeth: It doesnât matter what your personal beliefs are, Mr. Gates, donât try anything here. This is more important, and we need to do something about it. Lizzie is threatening other people now, and we donât need this to be a bigger issue than it already is.
Danny Tanner: :krabs:!!! She just threatened us!??!?!
Donovan Duke: :snoop: All of this is a fucking mess that started from HIM!
(Donovan points at Shane, who is clearly getting angered.)
Shane Gates: Fucking⊠whatever. Iâll see you at Bloodsport.
(Shane Gates brushes Elizabeth off again, before storming off from where he came from. Donovan rolls his eyes, before looking back at Elizabeth, and getting closer, aggressively whispering to her.)
Donovan Duke: I donât care about the damn doll, you need to get *him* in check too, heâs just like a child.
(Donovan Duke then bumps her shoulder, walking off in the opposite direction. He has bigger things to deal with than their personal issues, he has a match to prepare for after all, and something one of his challengers have to deal with isnât an agenda he cares for. Danny Tanner tilts his head back, with eyes still widened, before looking back down. Heâs visibly shaken, in a completely different way to how he earlier won his match. Shaken in a scared way.)
Danny Tanner: :lupe: Did she really threaten me, of all people??? Iâm just someone who recently got brought up from the performance center, what does a little doll want with me?
(Elizabeth looks up at Danny, before getting a little quieter, lowering her tone. Ominous-like, she begins to speak in a worried tone that completely petrifies Danny Tanner from the core.)
Elizabeth: I overheard some of what she said⊠she threatened anyone who tries to mess with Mr. Gates and his chance to get that 24/7 contract, and youâre in his way. Danny Tanner of all people is just someone that she wants to⊠letâs put it in a less explicit way⊠bump off.
Danny Tanner: :lupe:????
Elizabeth: Meaning, if she has to⊠what she wants from you is a lot more sinister than any other challenge youâre going to be used to, Iâm sorry to inform. Thatâs why itâs an issue. That doll is pure evil, Mr. Tanner. Evil.
(Danny Tanner begins to bite his fingernails at a very rapid pace, as Elizabeth lowers her head, and turns back, as she begins to walk after Shane. The camera pans over to show Dannyâs face completely, as his head turns at a stop-and-start pace, orchestrating the fear thatâs going through him right now. He really didnât want to get into anything like this, he wanted something entirely different with his EAW career, and this, in fact, was not it. The camera eventually fades elsewhere, as the final shot is of Danny Tanner, extremely nervous about the situation he just faced.)
(Voltage fades to a promotional ad for Jake Smith versus Raven Roberts at Bloodsport.)
( Voltage fades back in from break and cuts to a screen bar. )
[ SCREEN BAR – EARLIER TODAY ]
???: ( off-mic ) BORK! BORK!
( The sound of an animal whining and scratching at a door can be heard. )
???: ( off-mic ) BORK! BORK!
???: ( off-mic ) Jesus fucking Christ! Whose fucking beast is this?!?!
( The camera comes into focus and shows the cutest little Pomeranian dog standing in front of a door. The little dog is a bit familiar to the EAW audience, as earlier this week, he made his debut in one of Jake Smithâs promotional videos. The little pom is named Josh, and the voice bitching belongs to Voltageâs own Persephone. Persephone stands in front of a now open door, and is looking down at the dog. The dog looks up at Persephone and wags his little tail, practically begging her attention. )
Josh: BORK! BORK!
Persephone: Shut the fuck up you little monster. What the fuck kind of dog goes âbork borkâ? I thought you were supposed to bark. Are you fucking deformed or something???
( As Persephone steps out of the lockerroom where female Elitists get their hair and make up done, Josh gets super excited and runs around her feet. He even pees a little which really grosses her out. )
Persephone: I swear to God I will fucking kick you if you piss on my Louboutins.
Josh: BORK! BORK!
( Persephone closes her eyes and takes a deep breath. Her patience is clearly slipping and apparently she is not an animal person. )
Persephone: SOMEONE BETTER COME GET THEIR DOG BEFORE I SLIT ITS THROAT!!!!
???: There you are, Josh!!!!
( The arrogant Jake Smith strolls into the picture and when Josh sees him, he goes to hide behind Persephone. )
Josh: Bork.
Persephone: :mjlol: I assume this thing is yours?
Jake Smith: Yes, the dog is mine. Who are you and why are you attacking Josh?
( Persephone looks down at Josh, who still doesnât seem to want to go to Jake. )
Persephone: Wow. Even your dog hates you.
( This, of course, insults Jake. He practically shoves Persephone out of the way and gathers Josh in his arms, who wiggles at first, trying to get away. Eventually he settles down, because Jake is surprisingly gentle with the dog as he pets him. )
Jake Smith: He’ll be fine, Josh loves me. It’s not like you understand dog language like I do to understand our relationship. But don’t you dare lay a hand on him like I just saw, because if you do, I’ll beat the shit out of you.
( Persephone simply rolls her eyes at this so-called threat. )
Persephone: You really get off on threatening women, donât you? Why donât you ever seem to have this kind of energy towards your opponents?
Jake Smith: I’m not a misogynist, why do people think that? But even if, you’re definitely not a woman. A tart, maybe, but woman? Nah, what self-respecting woman simps over a married man and pretends to be in a relationship with him? Some real creepy shit if you ask me.
( Now this does strike a nerve with Persephone. She mentally prepares herself to slap the absolute dog shit out of Jake, but the sound of someone clearing their throat off camera interrupts the moment. Whatever irritation Persephone was feeling over Jakeâs comments is amplified times ten when it is revealed to be Raven Roberts who has walked up on the pair talking. )
Raven Roberts: :yikes: Talk about a meeting of the MiNds.
Persephone: Donât you have a ditch to go die in, Raven?
Raven Roberts: Nah, but I do have a nude selfie of my husband to go stare at later.
( Persephoneâs face flushes, and she finds herself unable to even function. The thought of having a nude selfie of Rex McAllister is almost too much for her to handle. It makes her hate Raven Roberts even more, if thatâs even humanly possible. )
Jake Smith: Excuse me for interrupting, but goddamn. What purpose do you even serve these days, Raven? Itâs one thing to assault me after my interview, but itâs another thing to come up and stick your nose in my conversations. Why do you have it out for me? The amount of disrespect you’ve been giving me is absurd considering the only thing you needed to do was apologize in the first place. Do you really lack that much decorum?
( Raven practically rolls her eyes to the back of her head. )
Raven Roberts: Spell the word âdecorumâ.
Jake Smith: D-E-C-O⊠Just shut the fuck up. I thought dumping you on your head last week would knock some sense into you, but clearly I was wrong. Whatâs it going to take, Raven? You know that Iâm going to destroy you come Bloodsport and after that happens, whatâs going to be left? You lost at Pain for Pride in a match I didn’t even know was going to happen. Before that, you were having a dismal second half of your season, even after defeating Darcy and Minerva. You failed to back up both of those victories with anything even remotely convincing, and I donât even get why youâre still trying. You peaked back in 2019 when you won the Universal Womenâs Championship and you havenât been worth a damn since. Basically, everything that I’ve been trying to tell you these past few weeks. I donât know how many times Iâm going to have to tell you that, but I hope to Gawd it sticks and you donât actually show up at Bloodsport. Because after what happens, you wouldn’t even dare show your face out in public.
( A little laugh escapes from Raven. )
Raven Roberts: It would be so easy to engage you in an argument right now, but that wouldnât really serve much of a purpose. It would just lead to us actually fighting and I donât want to hear any excuses about why you lost to Drake King.
Jake Smith: :comeagain: Iâm undefeated against Drake King. If anything you should be asking Drake why he thinks he stands a chance against me. Now that’s some bullshit if I’ve ever seen it.
Raven Roberts: :usure:
Jake Smith: Drake King is a pompous asshole and later on tonight, Iâm going to show him that Iâm not the same man heâs faced in the past. I spent last season showing out against legends and Hall of Famers, and Iâm ready to take the next step in my career, and contend for a world championship. Bloodsport is going to be another step in that direction because even if you are in the twilight of your career, you can still call yourself a world champion, and taking you out will be another notch on my belt.
Raven Roberts: It sounds simple, and I donât blame you for being confident, but there is a fine line between being confident and being delusional. Iâve had my struggles, many of them worn as badges of honor, but Iâm far from done here in EAW. I love this business. I was meant for this business. The way you think Bloodsport will go and how itâs actually going to go are two entirely different things, but you know what? Iâm going to let you have it. Later on tonight, Iâm going to be down at ringside to watch you crash and burn against Drake for what is probably the 700th time in your career, and when you have to come to the realization that you will NEVER be better than your former partner, that moment will be enough revenge for me for what you did last week⊠for now. Like I said, Bloodsport is going to be a completely different story, because Iâm going to be able to do whatever I want, and this bird always does her best work when sheâs not caged.
( Raven tosses her long, dark hair behind her and saunters off, having gotten the last word this time around. Both Jake and Persephone have identical glares on their face as Raven disappears from view. Jake cuddles his dog to his chest, and mumbles something under his breath. Persephone is a little more vocal with her disdain for âThe Bird of Preyâ. )
Persephone: You know, Iâm not going to fuck around. Iâll seriously give you a million dollars to kill Raven so I can be with Rex. I hate that fucking cunt with every fibre of my being and once I figure out what kind of voodoo and mindcontrol she used to get Rex to love her, bet Iâm going to steal him for myself.
( Jake doesnât say anything. He is still staring down the hallway where Raven is now out of sight. He definitely wants to teach Raven a lesson, but that will have to wait for now. Bloodsport is still two weeks away and tonight he has a match against his rival, the EAW World Champion, Drake King. That needs to be his focus for now, and without a word, he turns on his heels and walks off. )
( Voltage fades away from the backstage area. )
(The camera cuts back to Bella Braxton standing in the middle of the ring ready to announce the next match.)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemen. This next match is scheduled forâŠâŠâŠ.ONE FALL!!
Crowd: (off-mic) ONE FALL!!
(âHigh All the Timeâ by 50 Cent starts playing as Justin Windgate makes his way to the ring to a loud chorus of cheers. Justin comes out with a grin on his face as he looks as the crowd, but the grin soon turns into a look of focus, knowing that heâll be facing a member of the group everyone knows and hates, New Eden.)
Bella Braxton: Introducing first!! He is from Detroit, Michigan. Weighing in at 225 pounds, he is the âXTREME CLASSICâ JUSTIN WINDGATE!!
Rich Russillo: Listen to the ovation for Justin Windgate! If the fans love him now, they will love him even more if he is able to defeat Drake King at Bloodsport for the EAW World Championship in what will no doubt be a dangerous Chainsaw Death match.
(Justin is slapping hands with the fans as he heads down the ramp as one of the fans puts something in his hand. It looks to be a joint as Windgate looks more than happy to take a small hit before the match.)
Persephone: What the hell is this guy doing? Arenât joints illegal in Texas? This idiot has a match coming up right now and heâs getting high! Shit! Why donât we line the ramp with bongs the next time this moron comes out. I miss Rexy more than ever now!
James Peters: I think he would quite enjoy that. Justin Windgate might enjoy the good stuff, he has shown countless times that he is extremely capable in the ring. Heâs a former Interwire Champion and he is looking to become EAW World Champion. I think he can do it.
(Justin slides into the ring, and he waits as his music is replaced. âBlood, Milk, & Skyâ by White Zombie plays as Minerva makes her way to the ring to the sound of very loud boos from the crowd. She is dragging her National Elite Championship as she holds her back thanks to the events from earlier. Sheâs bandaged up a bit, but you can tell that sheâs not in the best shape.)
Bella Braxton: Making her way to ring!! Representing New Eden. Residing in the Florida Everglades…weighing in at 122 pounds! She is the reigning EAW NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPIONâŠâTHE BLACK ROSEâ MINERVA!!
James Peters: The National Elite Champion is forgoing her standard entrance and she looks ready to get down to business. After what happened at the beginning of the show, I canât say that I blame her. Earlier tonight, she got powerbombed by Big Mike. Then she got burned by a flaming cross. Then she found out that she must defend her National Elite Title at Bloodsport in an Exploding Barbed Wire TLC match.
Persephone: I donât think it was enough. They could have done more to her because she is still standing!
Rich Russillo: She might be hurt, but the last thing she is going to do is forfeit a match. Very few like her, but she is a fighter.
(Minerva slowly gets into the ring and removes her title belt. She tosses her title to the referee as âBlood, Milk, & Skyâ stops playing.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
James Peters: Here we go! This match is going to be good. The National Elite Champion Minerva against Justin Windgate. Warmup match for Bloodsport for these two as they both have big matches at Bloodsport. These two are eyeing each other and weighing out the situation before striking. Now you have to believe that Minerva is absolutely nowhere near one hundred percent with all that she went through at the beginning of the show. Being powerbombed and attacked by a flaming cross isnât exactly what she expected to go through tonight, but here she is ready to fight. Many people might not like her, but she has a lot of tenacity to continue on and compete.
Persephone: WHOOP DE DO! I DONâT CARE! IF YOU ASK ME, IT WASNâT ENOUGH! THE EMO BITCH MUST DIE FOR MENTIONING MY REXY THIS WEEK!
Rich Russillo: Theyâre done feeling out the situation and they look to lock up, but Windgate changes course and KNEES MINERVA IN THE GUT! THE KNEE CAUSING MORE DAMAGE THAN USUAL THANKS TO THE EVENTS FROM EARLIER! Windgate whips Minerva into the ropes, but Minerva counters with an Irish Whip of her own. Windgate rebounds and Minvera goes for some move, but WINDGATE CARTWHEELS OUT OF THE WAY!! Windgate condescendingly waves hello to Minerva and she is on the attack, but she is caught by another Irish Whip by Windgate. Minerva rebounds as Windgate goes for a clothesline. Minerva ducks and rebounds off the other side and IS MET WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO THE FACE FROM WINDGATE!! MINERVA DOWN AS WINDGATE TRIES TO GRAB FOR HER, BUT SHE SLOWLY ROLLS OUT OF THE RING TO THE FLOOR!
James Peters: She slowly makes it up to her feet holding her midsection as she slaps the barricade in frustration. She is not happy that she has not been able to get any offense in at the beginning of this match. Minerva is usually the picture of grace and beauty, but Justin knows exactly what to expect and I donât think that Minerva will be able to use her beauty to her advantage in this match. It doesnât help that Justin is now taunting Minerva from the inside of the ring.
Persephone: OH PLEASE!! SHE DOESNâT LOOK THAT GOOD!! IF YOU WANT THE PICTURE OF BEAUTY, LOOK AT ME OR FIND ME MY REXY!!
(Minerva was by the announce table when she heard that remark from Persephone.)
Minerva: (off-mic) SHUT YOUR MOUTH!
Persephone: Well that was uncalled for!
Justin Windgate: (off-mic) COME ON MINERVA! GIVING UP SO SOON? GET BACK IN THE RING!
James Peters: THAT GOT HER ATTENTION! PAIN AND ALL SHE IS SLIDING BACK INTO THE RING READY TO FIGHT! JUSTIN MEETS HER AS SHE SLIDES IN AND JUST STARTS CLOBBERING THE BACK OF MINERVA. HE KNOWS WHAT DAMAGE WAS DONE TO MINERVA EARLIER AND HE IS GOING TO TAKE FULL ADVANTAGE OF IT! LOOK AT THE GRIMACE OF PAIN ON THE FACE OF MINERVA!
Persephone: FORGET THE FISTS! GET THE CHAINSAW! OFF WITH HER HEAD! VENGEANCE FOR MY REXY!!
Rich Russillo: Windgate drags Minerva to her feet and whips her into the corner. WINDGATE GOES FOR A CORNER SPLASH, BUT MINERVA DUCKS OUT OF THE WAY! WINDGATE IN THE CORNER NOW AS MINERVA DELIVERS A FEW BOOTS TO THE MIDSECTION FOR GOOD MEASURE BEFORE BACKING UP! MINERVA RUNNING FOR THE CORNER CLOTHESLINE BUT WINDGATE BACKFLIPS OVER THE TOP ROPE TO AVOID THE SHOT! WINDGATE ON THE APRON AS MINERVA CRASHES INTO THE CORNER! Justin Windgate quickly jumps up to the top rope. WINDGATE LOOKS OUT AND HE FLIES AND CATCHES MINERVA WITH A BEAUTIFUL MISSILE DROPKICK RIGHT TO THE CHEST OF MINERVA!! SHE GOT ALL OF THAT! MINERVA IS DOWN AND WINDGATE GOES FOR THE FIRST COVER OF THE MATCH! SHOULDERS ARE DOWN!
ONNNNNEEEEEEE!!
TWWWWOOOOOO!!
THR–
Persephone: Edgy bitch kicks out! Dammit! This thing still has to go on.
James Peters: Windgate back to his feet and he starts to bring Minerva to her feet, but MINERVA QUICKLY RAKES THE EYES OF WINDGATE! WINDGATE CLAWS AT HIS EYES TO GET THE STING OUT AS MINERVA HITS THE ROPES AND TAKES WINDGATE DOWN WITH A CLOTHESLINE! MINERVA TAKES FULL ADVANTAGE OF HER UNDERHANDED TACTIC BY MOUNTING JUSTIN AND RAINING DOWN ON HIS HEAD WITH THOSE CLOSED FISTS!
Rich Russillo: Minerva wants to do whatever she can to soften Justin up for Drake King before their match at Bloodsport. Minerva brings Justin back to his feet before doubling him over with a kick to the gut. Minerva hits the ropes. She rebounds and CATCHES WINDGATE IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD WITH THE SCISSOR KICK. WINDGATE DROPS TO A KNEE AS HE HOLDS THE BACK OF HIS NECK! MINERVA TAKES THIS MOMENT TO YELL TO THE CROWD!
Minerva: (off-mic) NO ONE BUT NEW EDEN!!
Persephone: Oh SHUT UP! The crowd hates her just as much as I do. End this match!
James Peters: Windgate still on that knee and Minerva goes back on the attack. She hits the ropes and CATCHES WINDGATE WITH A RUNNING STO! WINDGATEâS FACE BOUNCES RIGHT OFF THE CANVAS! MINERVA HAS WINDGATE BY THE NECK, BUT WINDGATE WAS PLAYING POSSUM! WINDGATE ROLLS MINERVA UP!! SMALL PACKAGE!!
ONNNNNEEEE!!!
TWWWWWOOO!!!
Rich Russillo: MINERVA REVERSES THE PIN! WINDGATE IS NOW DOWN!
ONNNNNEEEEE!!!
TWWWWOOOOO!!
James Peters: WINDGATE REVERSES BACK!! MINERVA BACK DOWN AGAIN!
ONNNNNEEEEE!!!
TWWWWOOOOO!!!
Rich Russillo: MINERVA KICKS OUT!! IT ISNâT GONNA BE THAT EASY!! BOTH MAKE IT BACK TO THEIR FEET!! MINERVA JUST A LITTLE QUICKER AS SHE RUNS FULL SPEED AT WINDGATE!!
BAM!!!
James Peters: JUSTIN WINDGATE WITH A SUPERKICK TO MINERVA!! NOT TO THE FACE BUT TO THE CHEST!! HE KNOWS WHERE SHE GOT ATTACKED EARLIER SO HE ADJUSTED THE KICK TO CAUSE THE MOST DAMAGE!! MINERVA STUNNED BUT NOT DOWN!! WINDGATE GRABS HER BY THE NECK AND PLANTS HER WITH THE DDT! MINERVA IS NOW DOWN AND JUSTIN DRAGS MINERVA AWAY FROM THE ROPES!!
(Justin walks to the opposite side of the ring ready to attack. He motions his hands to look like he takes a hit from a bong as the crowd goes wild because they know whatâs about to happen next.)
Persephone: Why the hell does he always do that? He looks so stupid! This stupid crowd isnât helping by encouraging this pothead. SHUT UP CROWD!! JUST LET HIM END THIS SHITSHOW OR LET HIM KNOCK HIMSELF OUT WITH THAT IMAGINARY GLASS BONG!
James Peters: THERE HE GOES!! HE ROLLS AND HITS THE SMOKE BOMB!! MINERVA JUST GOT BLASTED WITH THE SMOKE BOMB RIGHT ON THE CHEST!! BUT HE ISNâT GOING FOR THE COVER!! HE WANTS TO CAUSE EVEN MORE DAMAGE TO MINERVA!! MINERVA TRYING TO ROLL OVER TO THE ROPES, BUT WINDGATE IS STILL ON THE ATTACK! HE HITS THE FAR ROPES AND DELIVERS A BASEBALL SLIDE DROPKICK SENDING MINERVA TUMBLING OUT OF THE RING! MINERVA ON THE FLOOR OUTSIDE HOLDING HER RIBS!! SHE CANâT BE FEELING GOOD AFTER HAVING A 225 POUND MAN LAND ON TOP OF HER!
Persephone: Burned with a cross wasnât enough. Shouldâve tied the demon bitch up and burned her at the stake like the witch she is.
Rich Russillo: Windgate considered flying once again, but instead he rolls out of the ring and goes right for Minerva. Minerva is brought back to her feet. MINERVA GOES FOR A CHEAP SHOT!! WINDGATE DUCKS AND GRABS MINERVA BY THE WAIST BEFORE SENDING HER BACK FIRST INTO THE BARRICADE!! MINERVA ON THE GROUND HOLDING HER BACK IN PAIN AS WINDGATE SLAPS HANDS WITH A FEW FANS AT RINGSIDE!! WINDGATE PICKS MINERVA UP AGAIN AND NOW SENDS HER BACK FIRST INTO THE SIDE OF THE RING!! HE WANTS TO MAKE MINERVA PAY!! MINERVA FALLS TO THE FLOOR AGAIN!! WHAT IS WINDGATE DOING NOW!
(Justin goes back to one of the fans at ringside, who tries to hand him a joint.)
Persephone: WHAT THE LITERAL FUCK? HE DID THIS DURING HIS ENTRANCE TOO! THIS IS ILLEGAL!! LOCK THIS STUPID POTHEAD UP!
James Peters: FAN SUPPORT AT ITS FINEST!! HEâS READY TO LIGHT IT UP, BUT HE DOESNâT NOTICE MINERVA SLOWLY GETTING BACK TO HER FEET!! THE FANS ARE POINTING AND TRYING TO GET JUSTIN TO NOTICE! NOW THE FANS ARE SCREAMING AT HIM!
Crowd: (Off-mic) TURN AROUND, JUSTIN!!
James Peters: THAT GOT HIS ATTENTION! HE QUICKLY HANDS THE JOINT BACK TO THE FAN AND GOES FOR ANOTHER SUPERKICK ON THE INCOMING MINERVA BUT MINERVA DUCKS THE KICK! JUSTIN RUNS IN FOR MINERVA, BUT MINERVA CATCHES HIM WITH A DROP TOE HOLD!
DING!!
Persephone: DEMON BITCH SENDS THE POTHEAD HEAD FIRST INTO THE RING BELL!! TRY AGAIN, MORON!! HE HAS NOTHING TO HURT UP THERE!! HE HAS SUCH A THICK SKULL!! WAIT! SHOULDNâT THIS BE A DQ? STUPID REF ALLOWING THIS BULLSHIT THAT COULD END THIS HORRIBLE MATCH AND MY MISERY!
Rich Russillo: JUSTIN IS A LITTLE DAZED AFTER HAVING HIS BELL RUNG, NO PUN INTENDED! BUT–
Persephone: DO THAT AGAIN AND I AM LEAVING! THAT WAS AS DUMB AS YOU ARE!
Rich Russillo: Sorry, my beautiful queen. MINERVA MANAGED TO QUICKLY TURN THE TIDE OF THIS MATCH! SHE IS HURTING BUT SHE IS MAD!! MINERVA DRAGS WINDGATE TO THE RING STEPS AND IS SMASHING HIS HEAD AGAINST THE STEPS OVER AND OVER AGAIN! SHE HAS LOST IT!! THE REF IS SCREAMING AT THEM TO GET BACK IN THE RING! HE ISNâT GETTING THROUGH TO THEM, SO HE HAS NO CHOICE BUT TO START THE TEN COUNT!
ONE! TWO! THREE!
James Peters: MINERVA BOUNCES JUSTINâS HEAD OFF THE STEPS A FEW MORE TIMES FOR GOOD MEASURE BEFORE LETTING HIM FALL TO THE FLOOR! WINDGATE ON HIS HANDS AND KNEES AS MINERVA JUST RAKES THE BACK OF JUSTIN!! DAMN WITH THOSE NAILS OF HERS!!
FOUR! FIVE! SIX!
Rich Russillo: MINERVA GETS IN FRONT OF WINDGATE AND HITS ANOTHER RUNNING STO!! WINDGATE PLANTED AGAIN THIS TIME ON THE FLOOR BUT MINERVA TOOK SOME DAMAGE FROM THAT AS WELL LANDING ON HER BACK ON THE HARD FLOOR!!
SEVEN!! EIGHT!!!
Rich Russillo: MINERVA CLAWS THE RING APRON AND MANAGES TO ROLL INTO THE RING AT THE COUNT OF EIGHT! JUSTIN WINDGATE IS STARTING TO MOVE!! WILL MINERVA WIN THIS MATCH BY COUNTOUT? AFTER THE NIGHT SHEâS HAD, I DONâT THINK SHE WILL CARE!!
NINE!
Persephone: JUSTIN KIPS UP!! NO! FALL DOWN AGAIN!! I HATE THE DEMON BITCH BUT I HATE THIS MATCH EVEN MORE! END THIS!
TE-
James Peters: JUSTIN WINDGATE DIVES THROUGH THE BOTTOM AND MIDDLE ROPES AND MAKES IT IN THE RING BEFORE THE REF REACHES THE TEN COUNT!! LISTEN TO THE CROWD CHEER FOR THE NUMBER ONE CONTENDER TO THE EAW WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP! WINDGATE FLIPS TO HIS FEET TO A WAITING MINERVA!! MINERVA DOESNâT LOOK HAPPY THAT THIS MATCH IS STILL GOING!! LOOK AT WINDGATE!
(Windgate looks Minerva square in the eyes and nonchalantly flips Minerva off.)
Rich Russillo: LOOK AT THAT!! WINDGATE TELLING MINERVA SHE IS NUMBER ONE!! WINDGATE IS LAUGHING AND MINERVA IS SEEING RED AND SHE WALKS RIGHT UP TO WINDGATE AND SLAPS HIM RIGHT ACROSS THE FACE!! AND WINDGATE IS STILL SMILING!! THE SMILE HAS NOT LEFT EVEN AFTER HE GOT SLAPPED HARD ACROSS THE FACE!! NO, I ACTUALLY THINK HEâS LAUGHING NOW! I THINK HE ENJOYED THAT A LITTLE BIT!
Persephone: Must be from all the pot heâs done. Weirdo probably enjoys this stuff. Pothead is probably a masochist behind closed doors. Fucking sicko!
James Peters: WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU? Anyways, Minerva is going for another slap, BUT WINDGATE BLOCKS IT!! Windgate is keeping his cool as he throws Minervaâs hand away, but he QUICKLY STARTS WITH THE HOOKS AND JABS ALL OVER MINERVA!! PUNCHES COMING FROM ALL DIRECTIONS AND MINERVA DOESNâT KNOW WHERE TO BLOCK!! WINDGATE GRABS MINERVA AND WHIPS MINERVA TO THE ROPES BUT MINERVA COUNTERS THE WHIPS AND WINDGATE IS THE ONE WHO HITS THE ROPES! MINERVA GOES FOR DROPKICK BUT WINDGATE BACKFLIPS OUT OF THE WAY CAUSING MINERVA TO MISS AND LAND CHEST FIRST ON THE MAT! THIS ISN’Tâ HELPING HER AT ALL! SHE HAS TO DEFEND HER TITLE IN AN EXPLODING BARBED WIRE TLC MATCH AGAINST CHRIS ELITE AND SHE IS NOWHERE NEAR 100 PERCENT RIGHT NOW AND SHE PROBABLY WONâT BE FOR BLOODSPORT!!
Rich Russillo: WINDGATE IS NOW TAKING FULL ADVANTAGE OF MINERVAâS MISTAKE AND GRABS HER LEGS AND LOCKS IN A MODIFIED BOSTON CRAB! I DONâT THINK HE IS LOOKING TO MAKE HER SUBMIT. HE WANTS TO TORTURE MINERVA!! HE WANTS DRAKE KING TO SEE WHAT IS TO COME FOR HIM AT BLOODSPORT! HE IS TORQUING THE BACK AND MIDSECTION OF MINERVA!! MINERVA IS IN PAIN AND WINDGATE IS ENJOYING EVERY SECOND OF IT! LOOK AT WINDGATE NOW!! HE IS NOW STANDING IN FRONT OF MINERVA AS HE IS NOW PULLING THE LEGS FARTHER BACK AND PUTTING MORE PRESSURE ON MINERVAâS BACK!! A FEW MORE INCHES AND HER FEET WILL BE TOUCHING THE TOP OF HER HEAD! WHO KNEW SHE WAS THAT FLEXIBLE!
Persephone: NOBODY CARES!! TAP. OUT. BITCH!
James Peters: MINERVA TRYING TO DO ANYTHING SHE CAN TO CLAW FOR THE ROPES!! SHE MAKES IT A LITTLE WAY TO THE ROPES, BUT TO NO AVAIL WITH WINDGATE IN FRONT OF HER! WINDGATE DRAGS MINERVA BACK INTO THE CENTER OF THE RING AND REAPPLIES THE MOVE!! WINDGATE KEEPS THE TORQUE ON MINERVA A LITTLE LONGER BEFORE THROWING MINERVAâS LEGS BACK TO THE MAT! WINDGATE ISNâT WASTING A SECOND AND HE DELIVERS AND STANDING MOONSAULT TO THE BACK OF MINERVA!! WINDGATE ISNâT DONE!! HE PICKS MINERVA UP AGAIN AND PLANTS HER WITH THE SIDE RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP!! MINERVA LANDS ON THAT ALREADY HURTING BACK AS WINDGATE FLOATS INTO THE COVER! SHOULDERS DOWN!
ONNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!
TWWWOOOOOOOOO!!!
THHHHRRRRREEEEE!!!
Rich Russillo: MINERVA KICKS OUT!! SHE ISNâT DONE FIGHTING YET!! JUSTIN WINDGATE ISNâT LETTING UP AND GRABS MINERVA BEFORE DROPPING HER WITH A SITOUT FACEBUSTER!! MINERVA DOWN AND WINDGATE IS CLIMBING TO THE TOP ROPE!!! HE IS MOTIONING FOR MINERVA TO GET TO HER FEET!! SLOWLY SHE STANDS AS WINDGATE FLIES!! DIVING CROSSBODY FINDS ITâS MARK BUT MINERVA ROLLS THROUGH!! SHE HAS JUSTIN DOWN FOR THE COVER! SHOULDERS ARE DOWN BUT SHE HAS HER FEET ON THE ROPES!! REF!!! IS MINERVA GONNA STEAL IT?
ONNNEEEEEE!!!
TWWOOOOOOO!!!
THHRRRREEEEE!!!
âŠ

James Peters: THE REF FINALLY CATCHES MINERVAâS FEET ON THE ROPES!! THANK GOODNESS!! MINERVA LOOKS AT THE REFEREE WONDERING WHY THE HELL HE STOPPED COUNTING!! MINERVA IS SCREAMING AT THE REF TO COUNT, BUT THE REF JUST SHOVES MINERVAâS FEET OFF THE ROPES! MINERVA IS IN SHOCK AND GETS IN THE REFEREEâS FACE WONDERING WHAT THE DEAL IS. IN THAT MOMENT, JUSTIN WINDGATE COMES FROM BEHIND AND CATCHES MINERVA IN A SCHOOLBOY! SHOULDERS DOWN!!
ONNNNNEEEEEE!!!
TWWWOOOOOOO!!!
THHHRRRREEEEE!!!
Rich Russillo: MINERVA KICKS OUT!! BUT DAMN SHE ALMOST GOT CAUGHT WITH THAT ROLLUP. MINERVA QUICKER TO HER FEET AND SHE KICKS WINDGATE IN THE GUT!! SHE LOCKS IN A FRONT FACELOCK AND MINERVA TRYING FOR A FISHERMANâS SUPLEX!! SHE HOOKS THE LEG, BUT SHE CANâT GET HIM UP!! I THINK THE DAMAGE HER BACK HAS TAKEN ALL NIGHT IS FINALLY CATCHING UP TO HER! SHE RELEASES THE LEG AND CLOBBERS THE BACK OF JUSTIN WINDGATE!! THIS TIME SHE GOES FOR A SNAP SUPLEX BUT SHE CANâT EXECUTE THAT EITHER!! SHE RELEASES THE FRONT FACELOCK AND STARTS HOLDING HER BACK!! IF HER BACK IS IN THAT MUCH PAIN, IT COULD EASILY ELIMINATE A GOOD PORTION OF MINERVAâS ARSENAL!
James Peters: WINDGATE TAKES THE MOMENT AND EXECUTES A SUPLEX OF HIS OWN!! MINERVA DOWN AND IT LOOKS LIKE JUSTIN WINDGATE IS DONE PLAYING AROUND! HE ROLLS MINERVA ONTO HER STOMACH AND HE IS LOOKING FOR THE NO X-SCAPE SUBMISSION!! HE WANTS MINERVA TO TAP OUT!! BUT MINERVA IS SCRAMBLING AND FIGHTING IT!! WINDGATE COULDNâT FULLY APPLY THE CROSSFACE PART OF THE NO X-SCAPE AS MINERVA MAKES IT TO THE ROPES! WINDGATE IS TRYING TO GET AT MINERVA, BUT THE REF IS DOING HIS BEST TO SEPARATE THE TWO!! MINERVA TAKES THAT CHANCE TO ONCE AGAIN ROLL OUT OF THE RING!
Persephone: WHAT THE HELL IS THE SHE-DEMON DOING? GET BACK IN THE RING, BITCH! YOUâVE BEEN OUTSIDE ENOUGH TODAY!
Rich Russillo: SHE IS LOOKING FOR SOMETHING, BUT I THINK SHE FINALLY FOUND IT!! SHE TELLS THE TIMEKEEPER TO GET OUT OF THE WAY AS SHE GRABS THE CHAIR THE TIMEKEEPER WAS SITTING IN AND TAKES IT INTO THE RING WITH HER!! HER WEAPON OF CHOICE IS USUALLY HER GYPSY CHAIN, BUT I GUESS A CHAIR WILL WORK JUST AS WELL! COME ON REF!! GET THE CHAIR FROM MINERVA!! IS SHE ASKING TO BE DISQUALIFIED??
James Peters: THEREâS THE REF!! FINALLY! NOW THE REF AND MINERVA HAVING A SMALL TUG OF WAR WITH THE CHAIR BEFORE MINERVA EVENTUALLY RELENTS AND LETS THE REF HAVE THE CHAIR! THE REF IS TAKING THE CHAIR OUT OF THE RING AND GIVE IT BACK TO THE TIMEKEEPER! THE REFâS ATTENTION IS DIVERTED AND MINERVA QUICKLY RUNS OVER TO JUSTIN WINDGATE!! MINERVA DROPS TO HER KNEES AND…
BAM!
Rich Russillo: THAT WAS A LOW BLOW!! MINERVA WITH THE LOW BLOW ON JUSTIN WINDGATE!! SHE DIDNâT PLAN ON USING THE CHAIR THAT STEEL CHAIR WAS A DECOY TO DISTRACT THE REFEREE SO MINERVA CAN DO THIS CHEAP SHOT!! WINDGATE DOUBLES OVER AND FALLS TO THE MAT! DIRTY TACTIC BY THE NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPION!! FOR EVERY MAN WATCHING TONIGHT, ALLOW ME TO SAY âOW!â.
Persephone: Oh just shut up!!
(Minerva laughs as she is very satisfied with her handiwork and points to her head, saying that she is smarter than Justin Windgate.)
Persephone: WHAT ARE YOU DOING THAT FOR, DEMON BITCH? DID YOU FIND A BRAIN CELL TO KEEP YOUR OTHER ONE COMPANY! DAMN LET THIS MATCH END!!
James Peters: Itâs obvious that she thinks she has outsmarted Justin Windgate in that one quick moment. Regardless, Minerva has complete control of this matchup. Even though she is in a lot of pain, SHE MANAGES TO DRAG JUSTIN TO THE CORNER. MINERVA IS ABLE TO FIND HER SECOND WIND AS SHE CLIMBS TO THE TOP ROPE!! WHAT IS SHE PLANNING ON DOING? SHE TAKES A QUICK GLANCE BEHIND HER BEFORE DROPPING TO THE TURNBUCKLE! THAT IS HELLâS BELLS!! THE BELLS ARE RINGING WITH THE DEMONIC TONES OF HELL WITH MINERVAâS VERSION OF THE SPLIT-LEG MOONSAULT AND SHE GOT ALL OF IT!! KNEES ACROSS THE GUT AND DEEP IN THE SOUL OF JUSTIN WINDGATE! SHE THINKS ITâS OVER!! MINERVA GOES FOR THE COVER AND HOOKS THE LEG!!
ONNNNNEEEEEE!!!
TWWWWOOOOO!!!!!
THHHHRRREEEE!!!

Rich Russillo: WINDGATE KICKS OUT!! HE KICKS OUT AT THE LAST POSSIBLE SECOND AND MINERVA IS SHOCKED AND PISSED!! MORE SHOCKED THAN SHE IS PISSED!! MINERVA LETS OUT A SCREAM BUT SHEâS NOT LETTING HER ANGER COMPLETELY OVERWHELM BUT NOW SHE TRYING TO DO WHATEVER SHE CAN TO PUT JUSTIN WINDGATE AWAY! HOLD ON!! SHEâS BITING!! SHEâS BITING THE FOREHEAD OF JUSTIN WINDGATE! THE REF IS TRYING TO GET HER TO STOP THAT!!
Referee: (Off-mic) ENOUGH WITH THE BITING MINERVA!! LET HIM GO! ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FI–
Rich Russillo: MINERVA STOPS BEFORE FIVE BUT SHE IS GIVING THE REF A DEATH GLARE!! DAMN, EVEN THE REF HAS TO TAKE A FEW STEPS BACK FROM HER! MINERVA DRAGS WINDGATE TO THE BOTTOM ROPE AND STARTS CHOKING HIM ON THE BOTTOM ROPE! REF IS STARTING THE COUNT AGAIN!
ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FI–
James Peters: Minerva breaks the count once again before the five count! Minerva whips Windgate into the ropes. WINDGATE REBOUNDS AND ROLLS THROUGH THE MINERVA CLOTHESLINE!! WINDGATES HITS THE ROPES AGAIN AND BOTH ELITISTS END UP CLOBBERED AND CLOBBERED HARD WITH CLOTHESLINES FROM THE OTHER! MINERVA AND WINDGATE HAD THE SAME IDEA AND NOW BOTH COMPETITORS ARE DOWN!! THE REFEREE CHECKS ON BOTH OF THEM BEFORE HE BEGINS HIS TEN COUNT!!

MINERVA! JUSTIN! MINERVA! JUSTIN! MIN– JUSTIN MANAGES TO DUCK OUT OF THE WAY AND DELIVER A SPINNING BACKFIST RIGHT TO THE TEMPLE OF MINERVA!! MINERVA STAGGERING AS WINDGATE BACKFLIPS AND CATCHES HER WITH THE PELE KICK!
Persephone: PUT HER DOWN FOR GOOD, POTHEAD!! DAMN IS THAT SO HARD TO DO?
James Peters: MINERVA IS DOWN BUT HE WANTS TO DO PUT AN EXCLAMATION POINT ON THIS MATCH!! HE POSITIONS MINERVA RIGHT WHERE HE WANTS HER AND DELIVERS A POWERBOMB!! TWO BIG POWERBOMBS IN ONE NIGHT FOR MINERVA! I WOULDNâT BE SURPRISED IF HER BACK IS BROKEN!! NOW JUSTIN IS CLIMBING BACK UP TO THE TOP ROPE!
(When Justin reaches the top rope, he once again motions his hands to look like he takes a hit from a bong as the crowd goes wild again because they think the end will be near for Minerva.)
Persephone: WHAT THE HELL? HEâS DOING THAT SHIT AGAIN!! SOMEBODY TELL HIM HE LOOKS LIKE A FUCKING IDIOT WHEN HE DOES THAT!! END THIS DAMN MATCH NOW, STUPID!! MAYBE HEâS STONED AND WILL JUST FALL OFF THE TURNBUCKLES!
James Peters: NOW BACK TO THE MATCH! MINERVAâS DOWN ON THE MAT, JUSTIN HAS ALREADY TAKEN HIS SECOND HIT OF THE MATCH AND HE LOOKS READY TO FLY AND HE LOOKS TO FINISH MINERVA OFF! HOPEFULLY FOR GOOD! LOOK AT HIM GO!! X-FACTOR ON THE WAY!! SHOOTING STAR PRESS CONNECTS!! WAIT!! WINDGATE TOOK A LITTLE TOO MUCH TIME ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE BECAUSE MINERVA ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY!! JUSTIN WINDGATE MUST HAVE SAW IT COMING BECAUSE MANAGES TO LAND ON HIS FEET INSTEAD OF HAVING A CRASH LANDING!! WHAT CANâT THIS MAN DO?
Persephone: The pothead could end this damn match! IS THAT SO MUCH TO ASK FROM YOU TWO LOSERS?!
Rich Russillo: JUSTIN WINDGATE DID SEE IT COMING BECAUSE HE IS WAITING FOR MINERVA TO GET TO HER FEET! KICK TO THE GUT AND HE GRABS HER NECK BEFORE EYEING THE TURNBUCKLES!! UP HE GOES ON THE TURNBUCKLE AND THE FLIP!! AND THEREâS THE RUN IT UP! JUSTIN JUST RAN IT UP ON MINERVA!! MINERVA ALMOST TURNED INSIDE OUT AS JUSTIN HOOKS BOTH LEGS!! MINERVAâS SHOULDERS ARE DOWN!!

James Peters: WINDGATES MANAGES TO KICK OUT AGAIN!! WHAT AN AMAZING MATCH BETWEEN THESE TWO!! MINERVAâS INJURED BACK PROBABLY KEPT HER FROM HOLDING THE PIN FOR THE THREE COUNT! NOW MINERVA IS BACKING AWAY TO CREATE SOME DISTANCE BETWEEN HER AND JUSTIN!! BUT JUSTIN ISNâT HAVING IT!! HE WANTS MINERVA IN THE WORST WAY!! JUSTIN CLOSING THE GAP BETWEEN THE TWO! BOTH ARE BACK TO THEIR FEET!! WINDGATE LOOKING FOR THE SUPERKICK BUT MINERVA DUCKS THE KICK! WAIT! WHAT DID MINERVA JUST DO?
Rich Russillo: SHE PUNCHED HIM IN THE THROAT! THAT WAS A BLATANT PUNCH TO THE THROAT!

…
James Peters: DID MINERVA GET IT? SHE GOT IT! REF COUNTS TO THREE!! ITâS OVER!! NOT THIS WAY!!! MINERVA GOT AWAY WITH ONE MANAGES TO STEAL IT!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
( âBlood, Milk, & Skyâ starts to play as Minerva quickly rolls out of the ring before Justin can grab her.)
Bella Braxton: HERE IS YOUR WINNER!! THE NATIONAL ELITE CHAMPION, MINERVA!!
Persephone: SHIT!! The demon bitch wins this match!
James Peters: It might not have been the way she wanted to win, but she got the job done. This was such a great match, but itâs a shame that the end had to be ruined by such dirty tactics. Either way, The National Elite Champion brings the victory home to New Eden. Drake King has got to be pleased that his challenger tasted defeat at the hands of one of his comrades.
Rich Russillo: I wouldnât be surprised. Anyways, this was an amazing match!! Both competitors brought the fight, but Minerva is walking away with the win here tonight. Justin Windgate fought hard and looked to have the match in hand, but he is unfortunately the victim of dirty moves. He still did a great job.
(Minerva is seen having her arm raised by the referee, before quickly pulling her arm away. She smiles at her victory as Justin glares at her from inside the ring as the camera cuts elsewhere.)
(Promotional ad for Minerva versus Chris Elite in an Exploding Barbed Wire TLC Match for the National Elite Championship.)
(The camera cuts back to the Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas as âKashmirâ by Led Zeppelin hits and The Ace of EAW, Jamie OâHara slowly and confidently makes his way out through the curtain and onto the stage. The longest reigning World Heavyweight Champion in company history takes a long look out at the thousands packed inside the arena as he adjusts his leather jacket and begins to make his way down to the ring.)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome at this time⊠JAMIE OOOOOâHAAAAAARRAA!!!!
James Peters: It has been a turbulent last few weeks between this man and the Cash in the Vault briefcase holder, Myles. It was wondered whether we had seen the last of Jamie OâHara after falling short in regaining the Answers World Championship that he had lost at Road to Redemption inside the Elimination Chamber against Kassidy Heart at Pain for Pride. It was hard to watch as he almost had his shoulder ripped from itâs socket while forced to look towards Hathaway at ringside.
Rich Russillo: Itâs something that would have broken a whole lot of people, but as weâve learned throughout the years of his career – there may be absolutely no one like Jamie OâHara. He put out a challenge to anyone on this brand to step up and Myles did not hesitate, but things immediately turned sour the moment that Myles brought Jamieâs family into the equation. He brought up their morals towards their own careers and how thatâs going to impact Hathaway going forward; resulting in a brutal assault at the hands of Jamie OâHara on Voltage two weeks ago.
James Peters: Myles has been vocal about the fact that Jamie wasnât punished for that attack from Jamie OâHara, but you canât blame the man. Itâs something that weâve seen happen throughout the years here in EAW. Mr. DEDEDE kidnapped the daughter of Xavier Williams. Hathaway was used by Kassidy Heart to get the match that she wanted at Pain for Pride. Itâs something that we will never condone, and Iâm sure that I hold the same ideals towards those situations that most others do. You canât blame someone for reacting in that fashion when it comes towards family. You canât make your own bed and then complain the moment that youâre forced to sleep in it.
Persephone: I wouldnât complain if it were Sexy Rexyâs bed. :heart_eyes:
(Jamie stands on the apron, taking another look out at the crowd before entering the ring as Bella Braxton hands him her microphone. She makes her leave from the ring as âKashmirâ fades out. Every person packed into the Dickies Arena chants Jamie OâHaraâs name in unison before eventually settling down as Jamie begins to speak as he stands next to the Bloodsport Wheel sitting in the middle of the ring.)
Jamie OâHara: Iâve⊠had a lot of time to think.
(Jamie lowers his microphone as he takes a look around the entire arena before continuing.)
Jamie OâHara: I havenât really given myself the chance to take a step back and look at where Iâm standing. I put out a challenge to every single person on this roster that believed that they were ready and able to stand on the ground that I do. Those who wanted to test their hand against The Ace and understand why thereâs nobody in this business thatâs like Jamie OâHara. I was coming off that record breaking World Heavyweight Championship reign the last time that I stepped foot on this brand. The moment that we can look back at and know that was when I proved that I was as great as I always knew that I could be and laid the platform of everything that I knew that I was going to become. But, I stand here and I see how much this brand has changed as I called elsewhere home. I can see how the decisions made differ, the motives behind the brand; their intentions behind everything that it wants to be. This is a place that isnât going to cater to what everyone in this company wants to be, but itâs a place where the Voltage roster can prove how far that theyâre willing to go to push themselves as far forward as they possibly can. I can respect that. I can respect the decision that the stipulations for Bloodsport are determined through that Bloodsport Wheel, but with everything that Myles has said over the last two weeks, and the fact that he hasnât given himself the chance to learn that valuable lesson of whatâs going to happen. If Iâm going to face Myles at Bloodsport⊠weâre going to do it on my terms. If Iâm going to lift Myles up so much higher than his career has ever had the chance to be⊠then Iâm going to be the person that decides that grand stipulation at Bloodsport.
(The crowd erupts as the hint of a smile crosses the face of The Ace.)
Jamie OâHara: Iâm happy to abide behind the intentions of Bloodsport. Iâm happy to create the environment that Voltage wants, and in return – Iâm going to give Myles the chance to truly prove the worth that he really holds. As unfortunate as it is that he holds no intention of gaining the true benefit behind that Cash in the Vault briefcase, and his intentions of protecting a champion that keeps him by his side for the benefit of his own career and protection; what I have in mind gives him the chance to step forward and establish the foundations of what he could, or could have become-
(âEnemy Strikeâ by Yuki Hayashi hits as the hint of a smile returns to the face of Jamie OâHara before Myles makes his way out through the curtain. He holds the Cash in the Vault briefcase in his right hand and a microphone in the left. He stands on the stage looking down at Jamie OâHara in the ring as the echoes of the boos from the crowd ring around the arena.)
Myles: Youâre kidding yourself, arenât you? Itâs embarrassing, Jamie. Youâre so full of yourself⊠and these people love you for it. They buy into everything that you say. These people believe that you actually deserve to do anything that youâd like. They applaud this idea that youâre above everything. This brand. Bloodsport. This company. Youâre able to do anything that you can; unpunished for things that New Eden would have been crucified for, simply because youâre… Jamie OâHara.
(Jamie nods his head as Myles grits his teeth.)
Myles: You donât get the luxury of deciding the stipulation for Bloodsport. You donât get to decide anything that we do at Bloodsport. I remember hearing people talk about the best that this business has to offer are those who are able to adapt to any situation. It doesnât matter about the battleground that theyâre forced to walk into; that theyâre always going to be able to adapt and flourish. But, you want to make sure that youâre putting the odds into your own favour.
Jamie OâHara: Imagine it, Myles.
Myles: I donât have to imagine anything. I see right through all of it. The pride, the bravado; Iâve listened to people calling this arguably the biggest match of my career, but I know why you put out that challenge. You need this. You needed to come back after that loss at Pain for Pride, because with everything that youâve said. The light that you see yourself in. You proved that you arenât everything that you thought that you were. You werenât just beaten. You were humiliated at Pain for Pride. You were forced to quit in front of your own son. So, you prop yourself back up on that pedestal, Jamie. You tell yourself that youâre still the Ace. That youâre still above everybody and anyone, but we know thatâs not true. Youâre not above everyone in this company. Youâre not even above everyone on this brand. Thatâs why you assaulted me. It wasnât because of the things that I said about your family, because we know that they certainly donât come first. You assaulted me because you were forced to listen to the truth. You stand there, trying to put the odds back into your own favour; get everything that you wanted, because you held no control at Pain for Pride. You allowed yourself to crumble. You allowed yourself to break. You want to prove how great you are, Jamie? You take control out of your own hands and you deal with what youâre given. You are treated the way you deserve to be treated; not as someone who is above everyone else, when they clearly arenât.
(Jamie takes a deep breath and turns his eyes towards the wheel beside him. The Aceâs eyes slowly scout around the stipulations around the wheel before nodding his head and turning his attention back to Myles.)
Jamie OâHara: Maybe⊠in some way youâre right, Myles. Look at everything that we could possibly do here.
(Jamie slowly lifts his hand up, grabbing onto the side of the wheel and slowly turning it.)
Jamie OâHara: A thousand different ways that you could pay for the things that youâve said and the attitude that you hold.
(Jamie stops the wheel as the hint of that smirk returns to his face.)
Jamie OâHara: The thing that you need to understand is that I hold all the power here. You can sit there and complain, because we both know that nothing is going to be good enough. I came out here to announce the match we were going to have here tonight. Technically the wheel did spin, Myles⊠and ironically it stopped on what I had already decided.
(The crowd erupt seeing the match stipulation on the wheel.)
Jamie OâHara: At Bloodsport weâre having a 30 Minute Hardcore Ironman match.
(Myles almost loses it on the ramp as the crowd cheers once again for the announcement. Jamie laughs from the ring as Myles screams that Jamie canât do this. In Mylesâ eyes at least – he had been screwed again. Myles tries to speak, but âKashmirâ picks back up as for the third week in a row; Jamie seemingly gets one over the Cash in the Vault briefcase holder.)
Jamie OâHara: (off-mic and directly to Myles) When youâre Jamie OâHara, you can do whatever the fuck you want.
James Peters: IâM JUST BEING TOLD THAT ITâS OFFICIAL! JAMIE OâHARA AGAINST MYLES AT BLOODSPORT IN A 30 MINUTE HARDCORE IRONMAN MATCH!
Rich Russillo: Well⊠technically the wheel did spin?
James Peters: This one has all the signs of being an absolute barnburner! You may not like the Cash in the Vault briefcase holder, but the possibilities of what we could get out of these two being in the ring in that kind of match – WOW!
(Jamie raises both arms up towards Myles who continues to seeth on the ramp and fires. Myles turns his back, shaking his head in absolute disgust at what just went down and how he had no power in the matter, and makes his way to the back before the camera cuts elsewhere.)
(Promotional ad for Myles versus Jamie OâHara in a 30 Minute Hardcore Iron Man Match at Bloodsport.)
(Voltage returns as Bella Braxton is shown inside the ring. Microphone in hand, the crowd silences as she prepares to announce the next match. )
James Peters: Oh, boy! I canât wait for this one!
Bella Braxton: LADIES AND GENTLEMAN, THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS A SINGLES MATCH AND IT IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!
(Crowd repeats âONE FALL!â eagerly as the lights dim and the raspy vocals of Pop Smoke fill the arenaâs ears, âInvincibleâ by Pop Smoke has the crowd standing on their feet as Chris Elite walks onto the stage to a mixed reaction. Chris looks over at Myles who is already inside of the ring, and Chris doesnât look worried at all for his upcoming match.)
Bella Braxton: INTRODUCING FIRST, WRESTLING OUT OF BROOKLYN, NEW YORRRRKKKKKK!!! WEIGHING IN AT 210 POOOUUNNDDDSSS, CHRISSSSSS âGAWD GIVEN GREATNESSSSâ ELITTTTEEEEEEEEEE!!!
(Crowd primarily cheers for Chris Elite as he makes his way down the ramp.)
James Peters: Heâs got the world on their feet with this music! I feel invincible, hol on! Thereâs a-
Rich Russillo: Let me stop you there, man. Chris Eliteâs thinking of more than just a victory this week, heâs thinking of being the first guy to knock New Eden off the throne. He wants to take advantage of facing Mr. Cash In The Vault and put his name back in the mix for title contendership. A win over Myles tonight would certainly do it.
Persephone: How many title shots are we gonna give this fucking guy? Heâs an old bum who doesnât have it anymore, fucking bald bitch.
James Peters: You never have anything nice to say about him, whatâs that about? :mjpls:
Persephone: I hate him?
(Chris rolls into the ring and waits, as Myles is already inside of the ring thanks to what happened moments ago with Jamie OâHara. Myles doesnât look too impressed with Chris, but soon Bella Braxton begins to introduce him.)
Bella Braxton: AND HIS OPPONENT, WRESTLING OUT OF MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIAAA!! WEIGHING IN AT 215 POOUUUNNDSSS, MR. CASHHHH IN THE VAULLTTTT!!! MYLESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!
(Crowd reacts with a chorus of boos, which causes Myles to just shrug.)
James Peters: This man might not be a fan-favorite, but heâs the real deal. He won that Cash In The Vault briefcase at Pain For Pride, after a long tug-of-war battle with Andre Walker. Myles left Pain For Pride with the biggest win of his career and having brought strength to New Eden. heâs as confident as ever and nobody is deterring him right now. Chris Elite has a tough hill to climb tonight.
Rich Russillo: Yeah, I couldnât agree more. I mean, Myles is just elevated right now, heâs so much better than the guy who was here just six months ago. A much improved competitor and as mean as ever. Myles has an edge to him these days thatâs just hard to replicate, but if anybody can do it, itâs Chris Elite. One of EAWâs most decorated active competitors.
Persephone: :mjlol: SO HEâS OLD AS FUCK IS WHAT YOUâRE SAYING?!
(Myles and Chris Elite are in the ring and the referee calls for the timekeeper to ring the bell.)
DING! DING! DING!
James Peters: Here we go! Chris Elite against Myles in singles action is underway! Both men circle one another, trying to gain an early edge. They lock horns in the center and engage in a collar and elbow tie-up, Myles able to get the better of the smaller Chris Elite, pushes him back to the corner and keeps a forearm planted in the face of Chris Elite. Myles is using all of the refereeâs five count right now, keeping that forearm in the face of Chris Elite! He breaks after the referee pulls him off and now Chris Elite fires out of the corner with a forearm of his own!
Rich Russillo: No! Myles avoids it, he ducks under the jumping forearm and grabs the back of Chris Elite! Myles now looking perhaps for the bridging german suplex! Chris Elite grabs the wrist and turns himself out of the hold, drops a boot into the midsection of Myles, NOW BRINGING HIS BOOT INTO THE AIR! âDREAMINGâ AXE KICK FROM CHRIS- NO! Myles just barely scurried out of the way of that axe kick!
James Peters: Chris inviting Myles back into the ring, Myles hesitant to engage Chris Elite, he invites him to the outside! Chris lays down in the ring and taunts Myles! He canât help himself now! Myles charges back into the ring with a huge punch to Chris! That one missed and heâs met with a jab himself from Chris Elite! Now a hook to the body, Chris gonna drop one more punch on the jaw of Myles now! BOOM! Myles buries a knee into the abdomen of Elite, preventing that Tyson like uppercut!
Persephone: Tyson like? That motherfucker is like 90 pounds, a gust of wind and heâs doing the tooise slide, stop fucking lying.
Rich Russillo: Chris now grabs a hold of the hair of Myles and throws him against the ropes! Myles holds onto the ropes as Chris Elite tries an attack, he runs towards Myles and is met with a boot to the chin! Great counter from Myles, who had the offense of Chris Elite scouted well! Myles storms towards Chris Elite and throws himself through the air with a hurricanrana that sends Chris Elite tumbling- NO! WAIT! CHRIS ELITE LANDS ON HIS FEET! CHRIS ELITE JUST GOT THROWN WITH A HURRICANRANA AND LANDED ON HIS FEET!
(Crowd goes crazy as Chris Elite stoically looks at Myles, who canât believe what Chris Elite just did.)
Persephone: Not impressed, donât care.
James Peters: Not impressed?! That was amazing! Now Myles runs towards Chris Elite and Chris sidesteps him, sending Myles tumbling through the ropes and outside the ring! Myles stumbles to the floor and tries to collect himself- BUT HERE COMES CHRIS ELITE! CHRIS ELITE WITH A SPRINGBOARD CROSSBODY TO THE OUTSIDE- WAIT, WHAT THE HELL?! MYLES CATCHES HIM IN MIDAIR! MYLES CAUGHT HIM IN MIDAIR AND CHRIS ELITE IS NOW THE ONE IN SHOCK! MYLES WITH A CRAZY FEAT OF HIS OWN!
Rich Russillo: MYLES SLAMS CHRIS ELITE ON OUR DESK! CHRISâ BODY JUST GOT SMASHED AGAINST THE TOP OF OUR DESK AND NOW MYLES RUNS HIM SPINE FIRST INTO THE RINGPOST!!! CHRIS ELITEâS BACK JUST REVERBATRED OFF THAT RINGPOST AS HE NOW CURDLES IN PAIN! CHRIS IS DOUBLED OVER ON THE FLOOR AS MYLES STOMPS ON HIS RIBCAGE! HE SCOWLS AT THE CROWD AND WIPES HIS FEET ON THE BODY OF CHRIS ELITE! THE ULTIMATE DISRESPECT FROM MYLES!
James Peters: No surprise there! Myles will do anything to push New Edenâs agenda and use any excuse he can to rationalize this savagery! Finally rolling Chris Elite back in the ring, Myles knows heâs got Elite on the ropes! He knows this could be his chance to take Chris Elite out relatively early! Myles lifts Chris up, looking perhaps for a michinoku driver! He wants to drop him on his back again! Chris is able to slip out and LANDS TWO NASTY PUNCHES ON THE FACE OF MYLES! NOW A SHOOT KICK TO THE FACE, HEREâS THE BACKFIST, THAT ONE SHOOK THE SKULL, NOW THE âFIVE BOROUGGGHHH COMBOOOOâ- BANG!
Rich Russillo: WOW! MYLES CAUGHT CHRIS ELITE ENTERING FOR THE LARIAT AND DROPPED HIM WITH A SNAP DDT!! WHAT WHEREWITHAL FROM MYLES, WHO JUST PLANTED CHRIS ELITEâS SKULL INTO THE MAT! NOW HERE GOES MYLES, LIFITNG CHRIS UP AND SUSPENDING HIM IN THE AIR!!! MICHINOKU DRIVERRRRRR!!! HE SLAMS CHRIS BACK DOWN TO THE CANVAS AND COVERS HIMM FOR THE WIN! MYLES, FOR NEW EDEN!!
ONNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
TWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-
Rich Russillo: KICKOUT! Chris Elite powers and shoots the shoulder off the mat strongly at 2!
James Peters: But look at him now, no wanted motion as he repositions Chris Elite into a facelock, driving a knee into the back of Big Bhris. Myles still targeting Chrisâ back, heâs trying to blow it out!
Rich Russillo: Pause.
Persephone: :dame:
Rich Russillo: âŠ
James Peters: You know what I mean! Heâs trying to debilitate and cripple Chris Elite right now, this is more than just a match for Myles! He wants to rid this brand of Chris Elite! Rid this company of Chris Elite!
Rich Russillo: Chris finally getting back to his feet, using the ropes to aid him up, trying to fight off Myles, who delivers a clubbing blow to his spine and drops Chris Elite back to a knee! Now Myles is looking to stun Chris with a brainbuster, he wants to snap his neck and skull to the canvas! But Chris hangs onto the ropes and doesnât allow Myles to lift him up! Myles with a nasty elbow to the back of Chris Elite and knocks him off the ropes! NOW LIFTING HIM FOR THE BRAINBUSTER!
James Peters: NO! CHRIS WITH A KNEE TO THE SKULL OF MYLES AS HE WAS IN THE AIR, MYLES HAS TO DROP HIM BACK DOWN TO THE MAT! MYLES COMES FORWARD WITH A BICYCLE KICK, CHRIS ELITE SIDE STEPS THIS ONE AND GRABS A HOLD OF MYLES! OH BOY, HERE WE GO! CHRIS ELITE WITH A POWERFUL OVERHEAD SUPLEX THAT DUMPS MYLES NECK FIRST ONTO THE MAT! WHAT POWER FROM CHRIS, SHOWCASING HIS OWN STRENGTH WITH THAT ONE!
Rich Russillo: MYLES CRAWLS INTO THE CORNER, BUT HE WONâT FIND SANCTUARY SITTING THERE! HERE COMES CHRIS ELITE! LIKE A LIGHTNING BOLT CHRIS MAKES HIS WAY CROSS THE RING FOR âHAWK EMâ!!! MYLES MOVED AND ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY, BUT CHRIS ELITE SEES HIM JUST IN TIME! GRABBING ON THE TOP ROPE AND SLINGING HIMSELF OUT TO THE APRON! MYLES MISSES WITH A LARIAT AND CHRIS ELITE LANDS A POWERFUL PUNCH ON THE TEMPLE OF MYLES! HE STUMBLES BACK AND CHRIS ELITE COMES OFF THE TOP ROPE WITH A SPRINGBOARD FOREARM!! HE PLANTED A FOREARM INTO THE BRIDGE OF MYLESâ NOSE AND REARRANGED HIS FACE WITH HAT SPRINGBOARD ATTACK! WHAT ATHLETICISM FROM CHRIS ELITE!
Persephone: Rex could do that on one leg.
Rich Russillo: CHRIS SENDS MYLES TO THE CANVAS AND GETS TO HIS FEET WITH HUGE SCREAM OF ADRENALINE! HE FEELS INVINCIBLE! Heâs telling Myles to get back up, Chris feels the momentum and the energy of this crowd, he wants to finish it right here and now! Myles gets to his feet and CHRIS LIFTS HIM ON HIS SHOULDERS, ELECTRIC CHAIR POSITION FOR CHRIS ELITE! YOU KNOW WHAT HEâS THINKING HERE; âFUSION DANCEâ INCOMING!
James Peters: NO! Myles drops out the backdoor and escapes the hold, now Chris turns around and is met with a bicycle kick to the face from Myles! Myles clattered a boot against the jaw of Chris Elite! Chris on wobbly legs, he canât regain his balance, but Myles is going to capitalize! HE GETS CHRIS ON HIS SHOULDERS, HE WANTS TO SEND HIM CRASHING DOWN WITH A SAMOAN DROP! CHRIS GRABS A HOLD OF THE ROPES AND GETS OUTSIDE TO THE APRON! WAIT! MYLES WONâT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKES! HE SWEEPS THE LEG OF CHRIS ELITE AND CHRIS FALLS HARD ON THE APRON!
Rich Russillo: Myles heading out to the apron himself, oh no, this never ends well for either competitor! Myles lifting Chris up, LORD, YOU KNOW WHAT HEâS LOOKING FOR! THE VERTICAL SUPLEX ON THE APRON IS ONE OF MYLESâ FAVORITE ATTACKS, BUT WITH CHRISâ BACK, THIS COULD BE DETRIMENTAL TO HIS HEALTH! CHRIS WITH A FOOT INSIDE THE BOTTOM ROPE, TRYING TO FEND MYLES OFF, BUT MYLES REFUSES TO LET GO! CHRIS WITH BODY SHOTS TO THE RIBS OF MYLES, PUNCHES AND ELBOWS, MYLES IS FORCED TO BREAK THE HOLD, BUT HE ROCKS CHRIS WITH AN ELBOW TO THE SKULL!
Persephone: I HOPE YOU BOTH FALL!
James Peters: LOOK AT MYLES, HEâS HEADING TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE APRON, CHARGING UP AN ATTACK, OH NO!!!! HE RUNS TOWARDS CHRIS AND GOES FLYING WITH A JUMPING BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE-CRASH!!! MYLES GOES KNEE FIRST INTO THE RINGPOST AFTER CHRIS ELITE DUCKED UNDER THE ATTACK!!! PAYBACK FROM EARLIER WHEN MYLES DROPPED CHRIS ELITE INTO THE POST!
Rich Russillo: CERTAINLY A TASTE OF HIS OWN MEDICINE AND MYLES IS CLUTCHING AT HIS KNEE IN SO MUCH PAIN, SCREAMING IN AGONY AS HE CANâT HELP BUT PULL HIS KNEE PAD DOWN AND TRY TO GRAB HIS KNEE! LOOK AT CHRIS ELITE! HE GRABS MYLES FROM BEHIND AND THROWS HIM KNEE FIRST INTO THE POST AGAIN! MYLES NEARLY FALLS OFF THE APOn, BUT HE STUMBLES BACK INTO CHRIS ELITE AND CHRIS PICKS HIM UP ON HIS SHOULDER, OH GOD NO, CHRIS DON’T!!!
James Peters: CHRIS ELITE HAS HIM IN LAWN-DART POSITION! CHRIS HAS HIM UP, HE RUNS ACROSS THE APRON AND LAUNCHES MYLES SHOULDER FIRST INTO THE RING POST AND DOWN CRASHING TO THE FLOOR WITH A â44 BULLDOGGGGGGGâ!!!!! OH MY GOD, CHRIS ELITE TRYING TO TAKE MYLES OUT FOR GOOD, TURNABOUT IS FAIR PLAY, LITERALLY THROWING MYLES FULL FORCE INTO THAT RING POST AND CRASHING TO THOSE STAIRS ON THE WAY DOWN! SOMEONE CHECK ON MYLES, HEâS IN SO MUCH PAIN ON THE FLOOR, CHRIS ELITE IS SITTING ON THE APRON SMILING!!!
Rich Russillo: MYLES JUST HAD HIS SHOULDER DISLOCATED, SURELY!! CHRIS ELITE DELIVERED THE â44 BULLDOGâ, YOU KNOW HE MUST SEE THE CHANCE HAS HAS RIGHT NOW! MYLES IS DOWN AND OUT AND CHRIS HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHUT NEW EDENâS MOUTH! TO DO WHAT NOBODY ELSE HAS DONE!
James Peters: Heâs rolling Myles back in the ring, but Chris is exhausted too! This match has been back and forth from the get-go, so evenly matched! Chris calling for the âBox Office Smashâ!!! Heâs so tired but he knows one final kick to the jaw would put Myles out for good! Myles barely gets to his feet, he doesnât know where he is! CHRIS ELITE COMES OUT OF THE CORNER WITH THE SUPERKICK- MYLES SIDE STEPS THAT ONE AND DELIVERS A SINGLE LEG DROPKICK TO THE FACE OF CHRIS! TALK ABOUT A TURN OF THE TABLES AS CHRIS IS THE ONE WHO ABSORBS A NASTY KICK TO THE JAW!
Rich Russillo: NOW MYLES, ONE ARM, STILL FIGHTING, HE GRABS CHRIS ELITE FOR A BRAINBUSTER, TRYING ON THE BAD ARM! BUT HE JUST CANâT GET HIM UP! HE CANâT GET HIM UP AND CHRIS ELITE ROCKS MYLES WITH A âDICKEATERY STOPPERâ!! AN UPPERCUT THAT HAS MYLES ON ON THE ROPES! NOW CHRIS COMES OFF THE ROPES, LOOKING TO LAUNCH HIMSELF FOR THE âELITE CUTTERâ!!! WAIT A DAMN MINUTE!!! MYLES IS ABLE TO CATCH ELITE IN MIDAIR AND DROP HIM WITH A REVERSE BRAINBUSTER! HE COULDN’TâT GET HIM UP FOR A BRAINBUSTER WITHTHE BAD ARM, SO HE USED CHRISâ OWN MOMENTUM TO DRIVE HIM DOWN WITH A REVERSE BRAINBUSTER! BRILLIANT!
James Peters: Just when we thought he was down and out, Myles proves us wrong! He knows heâs hurt, but so is Chris Elite! Chris is rocked badly and Myles is probably fighting through a separated shoulder, but heâs still going! CHRIS ELITE IS DOWN, BUT MYLES IS CALLING FOR SOMETHING BIG, HE PULLS THAT KNEE PAD ALL THE WAY DOWN, OH MY GOD!!! CHRIS ELITE LAYING AGAINST THE ROPES, MYLES GOES TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE RING AND COMES OFF THE ROPES WITH A MASSIVE EXPOSED KNEE TO THE SKULL OF CHRIS ELITE!!!
Rich Russillo: HOLY HELL! HEâS BALD TOO, HIS HEAD IS AN EASIER TARGET!
Persephone: What the fuck?
Rich Russillo: MYLES WITH A BARE KNEE TO THE HEAD OF ELITE, WHO IS GLASSY EYED RIGHT NOW! NOW MYLES LIFTING CHRIS ONTO THE TURNBUCKLES, HE CANâT LIFT HIM ONTO THAT BAD SHOULDER! BUT IT DOESNâT MATTER, HEâLL FIND A WAY! MYLES TASKES CHRIS OFF THE TURNBUCKLES INTO A CANDIAN RACK, OH BOY, HERE IT COMES!!! âWRATH OF PANDORAAAAAâ!!!! HE DROVE HIM DOWN TO THE MAT, MYLES GRABBED HIS SHOULDER IMMEDIATELY AND HEâS IN SO MUCH PAIn, BUT HE JUMPS ON CHRIS ELITE FOR THE COVER, THIS IS GONNA BE ALL SHE WROTE!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
TWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Rich Russillo: KICKOUT! CHRIS POWERS OUT AND MYLES CANNOT BELIEVE IT! I CANâT BELIEVE IT, NOBODY IN THIS ARENA CAN BELIEVE IT!
(The crowd cheers loudly as Myles looks on, clearly a bit shocked.)
James Peters: HOW IN THE WORLD IS CHRIS ELITE STILL IN THIS! MYLES SHOULD HAVE HAD THIS MATCH WON RIGHT THEN AND THERE! CHRIS ELITEâS HEART IS SOMETHING ELSE!! WOW!
Persephone: Heâs good at taking beatings, call it how it is.
Rich Russillo: Myles is so frustrated! HE canât believe Chris is still in this, heâs slapping the head of Chris Elite and cursing at him! Myles is still disrespecting Elite! He grabs him in a headlo- NO! WAIT, WHAT THE HELL!? CHRIS ELITE JUST LOCKED IN âRANSOMâ!!! THAT KOJI_CLUTCH SUBMISSION! âRANSOMâ!!! ONE MYLES IS ABOUT TO HAVE TO PAY BECAUSE CHRIS ELITE HAS THE SUBMISSION IN DEEP! OUT OF NOWHERE TOO, HE MIGHT HAVE JUST TAKEN THIS MATCH FROM MYLES, HEâS GOT NOWHERE TO GO!!
James Peters: WAIT, LOOK AT MYLES, HEâS LIFTING CHRIS ELITE UP OFF THE CANVAS, MYLES JUST DEADLIFTING ELITE FROM THE CANVAS- LOOK AT CHRIS ELITE! HE YANKS THE BAD ARM OF MYLES AND THEY BOTH FALL BACK TO THE CANVAS! CHRIS ELITE STILL WITH âRANSOMâ LOCKED IN AND HEâS PUNCHING THE SHOULDER OF MYLES! MYLES CRAWLING FOR THE ROPES, BUT HEâS IN EXCRUCIATING PAIN! MYLES IS CRAWLING, BUT CHRIS IS TRYING TO PUT HIM OUT FIRST! HIS VISION IS GOING DARK BUT HEâS STILL CRAWLING!! MYLES IS THERE! HE GRABS THE ROPE AND JUST BARELY MANAGES TO ESCAPE THE SUBMISSION BEFORE GOING OUT!
Rich Russillo: IT DOESNâT MATTER! CHRIS ELITE DRAGS HIS LEG BACK TO THE CENTER AND MYLES HAS NO ESCAPE! HE GRABS THE ARM AND SLAMS IT TO THE CANVAS! MYLES SCREAMS IN PAIN AS CHRIS ELITE DROPS INTO AN ARMBAR! THIS IS STRAIGHT OUT OF MYLESâ PLAYBOOK TOO! HOLY SHIT! CHRIS ELITE MIGHT BREAK THE ALREADY WEAK ARM!
James Peters: LOOK AT MYLES, HE WONâT LET HIM DO IT!
Rich Russillo: MYLES POPS TO HIS KNEES THIS TIME AND GETS TO HIS FEET QUICKLY! HE LIFTS CHRIS ELITE UP FOR A POWERBOMB AND TRIES TO THROW ELITE DOWN- BUT CHRIS ELITE TRANSITIONS INTO A HURRICANRANA THAT SENDS MYLES ROLLING ACROSS THE RING!
James Peters; CHRIS ELITE COMES BACK TOWARDS MYLES, BUT HEâS STUNNED WITH ANOTHER EXPOSED KNEE STRIKE FROM MYLES! BUT CHRIS RETURNS FIRE WITH A âHEADSHOTâ!!! THAT BACKFLIP KICK TO THE HEAD OF MYLES!! IT SAT HIM DOWN ON THE CANVAS AND HEâS ROCKED HARD! CHRIS ELITE POINTS AT MYLES AND HITS HIM WITH A MODIFIED âBOX OFFICE SMASHâ!!!! THAT SUPERKICK TO THE JAW OF THE DOWNED MYLES! IT SENT HIM SPIRALING TO THE CANVAS IN A HEAP!!! CHRIS DID IT- WAIT, WHY IS HE NOT COVERING MYLES??!
Rich Russillo: YOU KNOW WHY!!! HE KNOWS MYLES IS TOUGH AS NAILS AND HE NEEDS TO PUT THAT FINAL NAIL IN THE COFFIN! HE NEEDS TO FINISH THIS WITH A STATEMENT! CHRIS ELITE IS HEADING TO THE TOP, HEâS SHOOTING FOR THE STARS, AIMINâ FOR THE MOON! CHRIS WANTS TO FLY WITH THAT SPIRAL TAP AND PUT MYLES OUT FOR GOOD! HEâS AT THE TOP NOW, HE STANDS ON TOP OF THE WORLD IN THIS SPLIT SECOND!
James Peters: CHRIS ELITE IS GOING TO FLY, HERE WE GO!!!!!! âAIMIN FOR THE MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!!!!!!!â-
Rich Russillo: –
Persephone: HA! LMFAO! YES!
Rich Russillo: MYLES GETS THE KNEES UP AND CHRIS ELITEâS BACK SHATTERED OVER THAT EXPOSED KNEE OF MYLES AS HE ROLLS TO THE CANVAS, BROKEN AND BRUTALIZED!! THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN THE LAST STAND OF CHRIS ELITE AS MYLES BEGINS TO GET TO HIS FEET! MYLES KNOWS THAT CHRISâ BACK COULDNâT HOLD UP AFTER ALL THE DAMAGE HE TOOK EARLIER, HE KNEW THAT ONE SIMPLE COUNTER COULD OUT CHRIS OUT FOR THE COUNT AND HE MIGHT HAVE BEEN RIGHT! CHRIS ISNâT MOVING AND MYLES ISNâT GONNA WASTE TIME! HEâS GONNA COVER CHRIS ELITE!! MYLES IS GOING TO FINISH IT!!
ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
TWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

James Peters: KICKOUT!! KICKOUT! HOW!?!? HOW IN THE WORLD DID CHRIS ELITE JUST POWER OUT?! HIS BACK IS ABSOLUTELY DESTROYED AND HE STILL SHOT THAT SHOULDER OFF THE CANVAS! THIS CROWD IS ON ITS FEET!
(The crowd chants for Chris Elite as Myles grows aggravated.)
Rich Russillo: BUT FOR HOW LONG CAN CHRIS TRULY STAY ALIVE IN THIS MATCH, CHRIS ELITE IS DOWN AND MYLES IS BACK TO HIS FEET, CALLING FOR THE END! Myles lifts Chris up and starts attacking him again!
James Peters: SLAP! CHRIS SLAPS MYLES AND AS MYLES STEPS BACK, CHRIS FIRES ONE FINAL âBOX OFFICE SMASHâ!!! NO!! CHRIS ELITE HIT THE REFEREE AND KNOCKED HIM OUT OF THE RING! MYLES EVADES THE ATTACK AND GRABS CHRIS ELITE AS HE STEPS BESIDE HIM, HE RUNS ELITE ACROSS THE RING AND SLAMS HIS SHOULDER INTO THE RINGPOST! HE THREW CHRIS BETWEEN THE TURNBUCKLES INTO THE POST AND THATâS GONNA BE ALL! HE JUST TOOK CHRIS ELITE OUT FOR THE FINAL TIME! THE REFEREE IS TRYING TO GET BACK UP BUT HE JUST GOT KICKED TO ALL HELL BY CHRIS ELITE!
Persephone: GET UP REFEREE, I FUCKING HATE THESE TWO!
James Peters: WAIT, MYLES, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! MYLES GRABS HIS CASH IN THE VAULT BRIEFCASE AND SLIDES BACK INTO THE RING, OH NO!!! MILES SLAMS THE CASE AGAINST CHRIS ELITEâS FACE AND KNOCKS HIM OUT COLD!
Rich Russillo: HOLY SHIT! MYLES USED THE CASE TO KNOCK CHRIS OUT, HEâS GONNA DO ANYTHING HE CAN TO BEAT CHRIS ELITE!MYLES SETS CHRIS ELITE UP IN PUMPHANDLE POSITION, HERE HE GOES! THROWING HIM UP AND SLAMMING HIM BACK DOWN WITH THE âDE FACTOâ!!! THATâS GOTTA BE ALL, MYLES JUST SILENCED THIS CROWD, HE JUST TOOK THE LIFE OUT OF THE LUNGS OF THE EARTH WITH THAT SLAM, OH MY GOD! HE COVERS CHRIS ELITE AND THE REFEREE JUMPS BACK INTO THE RING, READY TO COUNT! FOR NEW EDEN!

DING! DING! DING!
James Peters: MYLES BEATS CHRIS ELITE! BUT HE CHEATED! MYLES CHEATED!
(âEnemy Strike begins to play throughout the arena as Myles rolls off Chris Elite and lays against the canvas, exhausted and beaten, but still victorious. Chris Elite is completely out as the referee tends to him.)
Bella Braxton: LADIES AND GENTLEMAN, HERE IS YOUR WINNER, MR. CASH IN THE VAULT, MYLESSSSSSSS!!!
James Peters: Man, what a terrible ending to an amazing match! Myles knew Chris wouldnât go out easy, so he cheated with that Cash In The Vault Case and knocked Chris out! He should be ashamed!
Persephone: Iâm just glad he ended that snoozefest, fucking hell.
Rich Russillo: Iâm not sure about that, James, a win is a win. Myles did what he knew he had to do, he used the opportunity given to him and won. Chris shouldnât have kicked the referee like an idiot!
James Peters: It was an accident! Myles let the referee get kicked! Chris Elite might have been robbed tonight!
(Myles rolls out of the ring with his briefcase as Chris Elite is still down and out cold in the ring.)
James Peters: Man, what a disappointing end to a great match. Well, anyways, thank you all for sticking with us, even through cheating! Voltage will return shortly!
(Voltage fades to commercial break as a shot of Myles walking up the ramp with a small smirk on his face is shown.)
(Commercial for EAW 2K22, starring Answers World Champion Kassidy Heart as the coverstar.)
(Voltage fades back to ringside, and Bella Braxton stands in the middle of the ring with a microphone in her hand.)
Bella Braxton: Ladies and gentlemenâŠ. The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!!!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!!!!
Bella Braxton: Introducing first⊠PLEASE WELCOME RAVEN ROBERTS!!!!
(âIn My Bonesâ by the Score hits, and the crowd cheers as Raven Roberts begins walking down to the ring. Sheâs not dressed in her ring attire because she doesnât have a match tonight, and she walks over to the commentary table, putting on one of the empty commentary headsets as she takes a seat in one of the empty chairs, which obviously pisses off Persephone.)
James Peters: Raven, Iâm glad youâre here!
Raven Roberts: Glad to be here. I donât like New Eden at all, but I wouldnât pass up the opportunity to watch Jake get his ass kicked.
Rich Russillo: As we all know now youâll be facing Jake come Bloodsport, and despite Jakeâs actions you donât look too worried.
Raven Roberts: Should I be? Itâs Jake Smith. He couldnât keep his ego in check and at Bloodsport heâs gonna pay for it.
Persephone: :francis:
Bella Braxton: Introducing next⊠PLEASE WELCOME JUSTIN WINDGATE!!!!
(âHigh All The Timeâ by 50 Cent hits, and the cheering continues as Justin Windgate begins making his way towards the ring. Heâs in his ring attire having already competed against Minerva earlier in the night, and as he makes it over to the commentary area he takes a seat in the other open chair, putting on the final free headset.)
Rich Russillo: And hereâs the challenger for the EAW Championship!
James Peters: Justin, things didnât go your way earlier against Minerva, but in a few moments youâll be watching Drake King in action against Jake Smith. Do you have anything to say about that?
Justin Windgate: What happened against Minerva earlier sucked, but at the end of the day thatâs just how New Eden is. When it comes down to it, Drake is going to pay for it with that EAW Championship.
Persephone: Hey Raven, do you mind leaving? Or even better, just killing yourself?
(Raven purposefully pulls her seat a bit closer to Persephoneâs, just to bother her.)
Persephone: đ
James Peters: This is sure to be a great match, both-
(Before James could continue, the cheering comes to an abrupt end as âCold Warâ by Hans Zimmer hits. Drake King begins making his way out dragging the EAW Championship as he usually would, but the boos grow louder as Drake reveals that he has a microphone in his hand. Drake doesnât look happy at all, and doesnât even pay attention to the boos as he makes his way to the ring.)
Bella Braxton: Making his way to the ringâŠ. From the Dead Sea, IsraelâŠ. Weighing in at 220 poundsâŠ.. HE IS THE EAW C-
Drake King: STOP! STOP! ALL OF YOU STOP!
(Drakeâs music comes to a halt, and Bella Braxton is caught by surprise. Drake enters the ring, and he looks right at Justin Windgate as he begins to speak.)
Drake King: I will absolutely not compete in such a ridiculous match. Period. I donât know who in their right mind actually thinks a Chainsaw Deathmatch is acceptable, but thatâs off the table.
(The crowd continues to boo, and Justin Windgate rolls his eyes, not taking Drakeâs words seriously.)
Drake King: How is any of this fair? NOBODY is treating New Eden fairly and all of you are just watching this go down. Minerva was attacked earlier in the night by Chris Elite and she was forced to compete. Why was she forced to compete? Why was Chris Elite allowed to get away with what he did to her? Had it been us, we wouldnât be here right now. We wouldnât be able to talk about what we did, because weâd be suspended right now. This match wouldnât be happening and both Justin Windgate and Chris Elite would probably be awarded Championships. The show STARTED with Chris Elite trying to make a mockery out of Minerva, and on top of that she was attacked. WE were attacked. We all were on the receiving end of an attack that shouldnât have been allowed in the first place, but it WAS all allowed because you guys refuse to admit that Captain Charisma isnât running his show properly! You all refuse to hold him accountable. Youâre just sitting by and letting all of this happen, and you know whatâs happening because youâre allowing this all to happen?
Drake King: People like Jamie OâHara are allowed to pretty much just choose the match stipulations himself. People like Jamie OâHara are allowed to run the show on their own just because he won a few Championships. He toyed around with that wheel, he didnât go through what everyone else did. He just picked a stipulation and now weâre all just supposed to go along with that. How is that fair to Myles when heâs the one that laid out the challenge for Bloodsport? Why is Jamie allowed to just do whatever he wants? Jamie put his hands on Myles and he was celebrated for it. Jamie picked his own match stipulation and he was celebrated for it, but if a New Eden member even THINKS about not competing then weâre threatened! Weâre punished for simply not going along with what Captain Charisma says. Captain Charisma literally threatened to suspend us for what youâre SUPPOSED to do when winning the Grand Rampage and making a choice, all because we didnât make the choice he wanted!
Drake King: Then thereâs this stupid Justin Windgate situation. Justin, I donât know whatâs wrong with you. I donât know whatâs going through your clearly damaged brain that makes you think a Chainsaw Deathmatch is even remotely okay, but itâs not. It shouldn’t be a thing. A Chainsaw Deathmatch shouldnât be allowed anywhere in the world, and I refuse to believe that weâre about to face each other with some stupid, unnecessary stipulation like that. Iâm not entertaining Captain Charismaâs stupid matches, but I promise. I am going to destroy you at Bloodsport-
(âStop Breathingâ by Playboi Carti hits, cutting Drake off. This obviously annoys the EAW Champion, but the while crowd is still booing for the most part, some fans are seen cheering just because of their hatred for Drake and New Eden. Jake Smith begins walking out with a microphone in his hand, and alongside him is his dog Josh, who Drake becomes increasingly more frustrated looking at.)
Drake King: :francis: Why is that here?
Josh: BORK! BORK!
Persephone: The fuck is wrong with that dog?
James Peters: What do you mean?
Persephone: Iâm pretty sure dogs donât make that sound.
Rich Russillo: It does sound kinda weird. Where did Jake get that dog? :lupe:
Justin Windgate: :mjlol:
(Drake looks furious as Josh continues to bark.. Or bork. Jake on the other hand has a smirk on his face as he makes his way to the ring.)
Josh: BORK! BORK! BORK!
Drake King: Can you shut that thing up?
Jake Smith: :picard: Donât talk to Josh like that. Besides, youâre the one that came out here running your mouth, bitching and moaning about âmistreatmentâ when the only one thatâs been screwed over as of late was ME! I shouldâve beaten Chris Elite and I shouldâve beaten Hikari Kanno, and if it wasnât for Raven I wouldâve, but thatâs besides the point. I really couldnât care less about what happens between you and Justin Windgate at Bloodsport. I just wanted both you *and* Raven over there to understand that after Iâm done kicking her ass at Bloodsport, Iâm going to come one step closer to doing what I shouldâve a long time ago, and tonight Iâm going to prove that I- more than anyone else on the roster, have what it takes to become the next EAW Champion.
Josh: BORK! BORK!
Drake King: :francis:
(Jake finally enters the ring as Josh stays out at ringside, and Drake canât believe what heâs seeing.)
Jake Smith: Iâm the best Elitist on this damn roster and Iâm going to make sure the entire world knows it. You can cry all you want about me using people and how Iâm a âsnakeâ but itâs really not hard getting people under my control when everyone around hereâs fucking stupid. Itâs not hard getting people to listen to every word I say when they donât know shit. Why WOULDNâT people listen to me? Iâm Jake Smith, I actually have something to offer around here, and how many people out here can say that for themselves? Not Rexâs dumbass wife over there. Not the drug addict, and definitely not you or the rest of New Eden. Voltage needs Jake Smith, so I canât blame them for putting me in a match against the EAW Champion. Captain Charisma knows Iâm the best thing going on this show, and after I beat you tonight itâs only a matter of time until I get that Championship around my waist.
Drake King: No, no no no. Justin Windgate is bad enough, but you? Youâre not getting anywhere close to this title. NONE of you need to be holding the EAW Championship. None of you need to be in the title picture. This title shouldnât even need to be defende-
Josh: BORK! BORK! GRRRRR đĄđĄđĄ!!!
(Josh starts growling at Drake, and Drake closes his eyes before taking a deep breath to try and calm himself down.)
Josh: GRRRRRRRRRR!!!!
Drake King: Jake⊠Please get rid of it.
Jake Smith: :mjlol:
Josh: BORK! BORK! BORK!
Drake King: I donât see whatâs so funny about this, get rid of the dog. Why is your stupid pet even allowed out here???
Jake Smith: Whatâs funny is that this is supposed to be the EAW Champion. This is supposed to be the dude on top of the Voltage roster. I really donât know how Malcolm Jones let you of all people end his career, but youâre pretty fucking embarrassing. All you and the rest of New Eden ever does is complain. Every week itâs the same shit and itâs been like that since February. You might be the EAW Champion for now but itâs only a matter of time until youâre knocked off the top of the mountain, and I donât care if Justin manages to get the job done at Bloodsport or not, because if he doesnât I will. Iâve waited way too long and Iâve worked way too hard to let this season go by without me touching a World Championship, and if all I have to do is defeat you to get that title around my waist then you might as well hand the Championship to me now. Iâm the only fucking King around here, and after I beat the EAW Champion in the real Voltage main event since nobody fucking cares about the adopted Ava or whoever the fuck Hikari Kanno is, then thereâs not a damn thing youâll be able to say.
(Jake walks up closer to the already pissed off Drake, pointing at the EAW Championship.)
Jake Smith: I donât care if itâs you or Justin I have to face. Iâm taking that Championship-
James Peters: WOAH!! DRAKE JUST PUNCHED JAKE IN THE FACE! DRAKEâS HEARD ENOUGH! DRAKE IS GOING AFTER JAKE SMITH, AND I DONâT THINK JAKE EXPECTED THIS! You could see Drakeâs anger as Jake kept speaking, and now Drakeâs attacking Jake!
(Instead of worrying about Jake, Josh runs over to the commentary area and jumps into the arms of Raven Roberts, surprising her.)
Rich Russillo: :oh: I think he likes you!
Raven Roberts: :notbad: Heâs actually pretty cute.
Persephone: đ
James Peters: Things arenât looking good for Jake, who might be regretting picking up a microphone right now! Drake is stomping away at Jake in the corner! The referee is trying to separate Drake from Jake, and now heâs calling for the bell! It looks like weâre about to get this match started right now!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Rich Russillo: You were right! The referee just called for the bell, AND DRAKE JUST TRIED GOING FOR A RUNNING BOOT IN THE CORNER, BUT JAKE MANAGED TO SLIP OUT OF THE RING FROM UNDER THE BOTTOM ROPE AT THE LAST MOMENT! Jake just saved himself from what wouldâve been a lot of trouble, as he takes some time to try and recover, forcing Drake to wait inside of the ring for him as he slowly walks around the ring! Jake clearly wasnât expecting that start from Drake, meanwhile Drake is clearly pissed off for a number of reasons!
Justin Windgate: I donât know who he hates more, Captain Charisma or Josh? :mjlol:
James Peters: Jake slowly re-enters the ring, AND DRAKE CHARGES RIGHT AT HIM WITH A LARIAT BUT JAKE DUCKS UNDER IT BEFORE RUNNING THE ROPES! JAKE WENT FOR A HUGE BICYCLE KICK, BUT DRAKE DUCKED UNDER THAT BEFORE GRABBING JAKE FROM BEHIND! CROWN OF THOR- NO! JAKE SLIPS OUT OF DRAKEâS GRASP BEFORE GRABBING HIM FROM BEHIND! ULTIM- NO! DRAKE MANAGES TO FLIP OUT OF WHAT WOULDâVE BEEN A REVERSE BRAINBUSTER, AND NOW THEREâS A DISCUS CLOTHESLINE BY DRAKE! THEREâS THE FIRST COVER OF THE MATCH NOW BY THE EAW CHAMPION!
ONE-
Persephone: And Jake kicks out đ.
Raven Roberts: Jakeâs an idiot but I donât think the match was ever going to end that early.
Persephone: Shut up.
(Josh begins growling at Persephone.)
Josh: GRRRRRRRRR!!!
Persephone: Please get that stupid dog away from me.
James Peters: Drake now gets Jake in a rear chinlock, and these two really have so much experience with one another. Theyâve faced time and time again, but with the exception of one tag team match earlier in the year where Consuela was able to bring Jakeâs team the victory, Drake has managed to win every single time. That could definitely change tonight, but right now Drake is in control of the match thanks to him attacking Jake before the bell could ring!
Rich Russillo: Jake is slowly pulling himself back up to his feet, AND NOW DRAKE LETS GO OF THE CHINLOCK BEFORE ATTEMPTING THE CROWN OF THORNS AGAIN, BUT JAKE GETS BEHIND DRAKE AND PULLS HIM DOWN INTO A SCHOOL BOY ROLL UP!
ONE!
T-
Rich Russillo: DRAKE KICKS OUT- BUT HEâS IMMEDIATELY MET WITH A HUGE KNEE TO THE FACE!
Justin Windgate: :yikes: Surprised that didnât knock a tooth out.
James Peters: Drake stumbles back to a knee, and now itâs Jake thatâs all over him, punching away at the EAW Champion! Jake now grabbing Drake, AND JAKE SENDS DRAKE SHOULDER FIRST INTO THE RING POST! Drake stumbles out of the corner, AND JAKE KICKS DRAKE IN THE MIDSECTION BEFORE PUNCHING HIM DOWN TO A KNEE! DRAKE PUNCHES JAKE IN THE MIDSECTION THOUGH, AND THAT CAUSES JAKE TO PULL DRAKE INTO A KNEE TO THE MIDSECTION TO KEEP HIM DOWN! JAKE NOW PULLING DRAKE UP FOR POSSIBLY A SUPLEX, BUT DRAKE MANAGES TO PULL HIMSELF DOWN ONTO THE APRON BEFORE HITTING JAKE WITH A FOREARM, CAUSING HIM TO STUMBLE BACK!
Rich Russillo: DRAKE NOW GOES FOR A SPRINGBOARD KNEE, BUT JAKE GETS OUT OF THE WAY! Drake lands on his feet- BUT HE TURNS RIGHT INTO A SUPERKICK FROM JAKE! Jake now pulls Drake up, BEFORE DELIVERING A KNEECAP BRAINBUSTER TO THE EAW CHAMPION! DRAKE IS DOWN AND NOW JAKE GOES FOR THE COVER!
ONE!
TWO!-
Rich Russillo: BUT DRAKE MANAGES TO GET THE SHOULDER UP!
Raven Roberts: I guess this is the part where we talk about how this is what I have coming my way at Bloodsport, but honestly I couldnât be less worried.
Josh: Bork!
Persephone: I donât know how Iâm gonna make it through this match :snoop:.
James Peters: Jake pulls Drake back to his feet before bringing him to the corner, and he slams his face into the top turnbuckle! Now itâs Drake thatâs in the corner, and Jake starts kicking away at the EAW World Champion! Jake now putting his foot on Drakeâs throat as soon as Drake falls into the seated position, and now the referee is beginning to count!
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FI-
James Peters: And Jake backs away from the corner before five! Jake has a grin on his face as he backs away, and he looks right over at-
Raven Roberts: I know, I know. Heâs looking at me đ.
Justin Windgate: It could be worse. You could have Drake crying about anything and everything :francis:.
Rich Russillo: Jake now turning his attention back to the match, AND HE CHARGES AT DRAKE- BUT DRAKE IS ABLE TO QUICKLY ROLL AWAY FROM THE CORNER! JAKE TRIED HITTING A RUNNING KNEE BUT INSTEAD HIS KNEE JUST CRASHED INTO THE TURNBUCKLES! DRAKE QUICKLY PULLS HIMSELF BACK UP TO HIS FEET BEFORE GRABBING JAKE FROM BEHIND, AND HE DELIVERS A GERMAN SUPLEX TO THE TWO-TIME PURE CHAMPION!
Persephone: Please can we hurry this up. The faster SHEâS out of here, the better.
Raven Roberts: :mjlol2:
James Peters: Jake slowly manages to get back up to his feet, AND DRAKE WENT FOR A HUGE SUPERKICK BUT JAKE IS ABLE TO QUICKLY GRAB THE BOTTOM ROPE AND PULL HIMSELF BACK OUT OF THE RING! Drake doesnât waste any time though as he runs the ropes, AND HE HITS JAKE WITH A HUGE SUICIDE DIVE! DRAKE JUST TOOK JAKE OUT WITH A SUICIDE DIVE, BUT I DONâT THINK THE EAW CHAMPION IS FINISHED THERE! DRAKE SLIDES BACK INTO THE RING AS JAKE GETS BACK UP, AND DRAKE RUNS THE ROPES AGAIN BEFORE CHARGING BACK IN FOR ANOTHER SUICIDE DIVE-
Rich Russillo: JAKE JUST HIT DRAKE WITH A SUPERKICK!! JAKE JUST SUPERKICKED DRAKE RIGHT OUT OF THE AIR, AND NOW JAKE PULLS DRAKE UP, BEFORE DELIVERING âULTIMAâ ONTO THE RING APRON!! A VARIATION OF THE REVERSE BRAINBUSTER CONNECTS, DROPPING THE EAW CHAMPION ONTO THE HARDEST PART OF THE RING! JAKE QUICKLY ROLLS THE CHAMPION FURTHER BACK INTO THE RING BEFORE FOLLOWING BEHIND, AND NOW JAKE GOES FOR THE COVER TO PICK UP ONE OF HIS BIGGEST WINS YET!
ONE!
TWO!!
TH-
Justin Windgate: Drake actually kicked out! I thought it was over there.
Persephone: I WISH it was over.
Raven Roberts: Well it probably wonât be over anytime soon with Jake in control of the match. He spends half of his matches showboating.
James Peters: Jake pulls himself up to the middle rope, and it looks like heâs telling Drake to get back
to his feet! He might be finishing this match right now!
(Jake looks over at Raven.)
Jake Smith: (off-mic) This is whatâs coming at Bloodsport!
Justin Windgate: Does he always do that?
Raven Roberts: Unfortunately.
James Peters: HELL ABOVE-
Rich Russillo: NO! DRAKE MANAGES TO JUST BARELY BACK UP BEFORE HITTING JAKE WITH A KNEE STRIKE! JAKE FALLS INTO THE ROPES, AND AS HE BOUNCES OFF OF THEM DRAKE LIFTS HIM UP BEFORE DELIVERING A SCOOP BRAINBUSTER!!
Raven Roberts: :mjlol:
Rich Russillo: Both Elitists are down, but Drake definitely saved his chances right there and in the process did some serious damage to Jake! Justin, this is your Bloodsport opponent weâre watching right now. Are you at all concerned watching this?
Justin Windgate: Of course not. Drakeâs the EAW Champion for a reason, but Iâm the man thatâs gonna dethrone him. I wouldnât have stepped up in the first place if I didnât know what I was getting myself into.
James Peters: Thatâs a great point. Drake is using the ropes to pull himself back up to his feet as Jake is on all fours trying to get back up, AND DRAKE GOES FOR JUDGEMENT DAY- BUT JAKE MANAGES TO JUST BARELY ROLL OUT OF THE WAY BEFORE JUMPING ON DRAKEâS BACK FOR A BACKSTABBER- WHICH DRAKE IS ABLE TO COUNTER BY GRABBING ONTO THE ROPES AND FORCING JAKE OFF OF HIM! Drake now turning around, AND JAKE CHARGES IN FOR A BICYCLE KICK-
Rich Russillo: BUT DRAKE MOVES OUT OF THE WAY AND CAUSES JAKE TO BOUNCE OFF OF THE ROPES AND STUMBLE TO THE MAT! JAKE SCRAMBLES TO TRY AND GET BACK UP, BUT BEFORE HE COULD DO SO HEâS MET WITH A SHINING WIZARD TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD! JAKE SMITH LOOKS LIKE HEâS OUT COLD, AND NOW ITâS DRAKE THAT TURNS JAKE OVER AND GOES FOR THE COVER TO CAPTURE YET ANOTHER VICTORY OVER HIM!
ONE!
TWO!!
T-
Raven Roberts: :notbad:
Persephone: :will:
James Peters: JAKE MANAGED TO GET THE SHOULDER UP! Drake looks a bit upset that this match is still going, but he slowly gets back up to his feet before pulling Jake up! Drake has Jake in his arm, and I think heâs about to try and finish him off for good! OVERHAUL- WAIT NO! JAKE SLIPS BEHIND DRAKE BEFORE DROPPING HIM WITH A REVERSE DDT! USUALLY JAKE PULLS HIS OPPONENT UP INTO THE âULTIMAâ REVERSE BRAINBUSTER, BUT IN AN EVENT LIKE THIS JAKE ACTED OUT OF DESPERATION! Either way, it still got the job done!
Justin Windgate: Jakeâs not doing too bad.
Raven Roberts: Heâs not doing too good, either.
Josh: Bork! Bork! Bork!
Persephone: I just want this match to end already :will:.
Rich Russillo: Jake slowly pulls Drake back up to his feet, AND HE HAS DRAKE IN A HEADLOCK, BUT I DONâT THINK HEâS PLANNING TO STOP AT THAT! IN BLOOM- WAIT A SECOND! DRAKE SWEPT JAKEâS LEG OUT FROM UNDER HIM AND CAUSED HIM TO FALL RIGHT ONTO HIS FACE! DRAKE NOW RUNNING THE ROPES, AND HE GOES FOR THE JUDGEMENT DAY AGAIN- BUT ONCE AGAIN JAKE ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY, AND THIS TIME HE PULLS DRAKE INTO A SCHOOL BOY ROLL UP!
ONE!
TWO-
James Peters: DRAKE KICKS OUT, AND JAKE JUST WENT FOR A ROUNDHOUSE KICK BUT DRAKE DUCKED UNDER IT! DRAKE JUMPS UP FOR AN ENZUIGIRI, BUT JAKE MANAGES TO AVOID THAT BEFORE PULLING DRAKE UP! IN BLOO- NO! DRAKE PUSHES JAKE FRONT-FIRST INTO THE ROPES, AND AS JAKE BOUNCES BACKWARDS DRAKE CATCHES HIM BEFORE DELIVERING THE CROWN OF THORNS!!! THE CROWN OF THORNS CONNECTS, AND DRAKE GOES FOR THE COVER! THIS ONE MIGHT JUST GET THE JOB DONE!
ONE!
TWO!!
THR-
Rich Russillo: NO!!! THAT STILL WASNâT ENOUGH! JAKE WAS ABLE TO PUSH THE SHOULDER OFF OF THE MAT AND STOP DRAKE FROM CAPTURING THE VICTORY! Say what you want about Jake, but he really doesnât want to lose this match and you can see that from his performance tonight! He wants to finally pick up that win against Drake!
Raven Roberts: I guess. I still have no reason to really be impressed by him, especially when more often than not he ruins every good performance he has with his own mistakes.
Justin Windgate: That does happen a lot, but heâs also facing Drake, and itâs not like Drake doesnât tend to screw up at times.
James Peters: Drake slowly gets back up before backing up into the corner, and I think at this point Drake just wants this match to be over with! Heâs waiting for Jake to get back up, and thereâs really a number of moves he can hit right now which is part of what makes Drake a competitor to worry about!
Justin Windgate: :mjlol2: Iâll be fine.
James Peters: I hope so, but Jake is getting back up, and if thereâs anyone that definitely wonât be fine itâs him!
Persephone: Good. That means the midget will lose, and both Raven and Jakeâs stupid deformed dog can go away :drakelike:.
Rich Russillo: DRAKE KING CHARGES IN, AND HE WENT FOR THE GUILLOTINE BUT JAKE JUST BARELY DOVE OUT OF THE WAY! IF THE GUILLOTINE CONNECTED RIGHT THERE THIS MATCH WOULDâVE BEEN OVER, BUT AS SOON AS BOTH ELITISTS GET BACK TO THEIR FEET JAKE IS ABLE TO CONNECT WITH A DISCUS FOREARM STRIKE, WHICH DROPS DRAKE DOWN TO A KNEE! JAKE NOW LIFTS DRAKE UP, AND HE DROPS HIM DOWN TO THE MAT WITH A MICHINOKU DRIVER! WHAT A MOVE BY THE TWO-TIME PURE CHAMPION, WHO JUST SAID BEFORE THIS MATCH STARTED THAT HE WOULD BECOME WORLD CHAMPION IN THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE!
Raven Roberts: RightâŠ.
Justin Windgate: If Jake wants that World title match then Iâm the one heâll have to be facing, because Iâm not letting Drake leave Bloodsport with the EAW Championship.
James Peters: Drake has pulled himself into the corner, but Jake immediately begins stomping away at the EAW Champion! Jake was definitely serious about everything he said, and while he didnât have an amazing start heâs definitely proving that right now! Jake now pulling Drake up-
Rich Russillo: BUT DRAKE PULLS JAKE DOWN WITH A REVERSE STO INTO THE MIDDLE TURNBUCKLE! These two are hitting each other with big move after big move trying to take each other down, but I donât know what else we couldâve expected when itâs Drake and Jake facing each other! Thereâs not many pairings in EAW you could name that know each other as well as Jake and Drake. They faced off back in 2018. They formed the Round Table in 2019 and stayed allies for the majority of that year, and as Drake pointed out in the week, theyâve had matches with each other in every single year of their careers!
Persephone: And midget boy lost to fake Jesus every time :mjlol:.
James Peters: Drake is crawling out of the corner, and already you can tell these two are beginning to wear each other out, but somehow theyâre still going! Even beyond their history these are two incredibly talented Elitists, even if their talent tends to be overshadowed at times by Jakeâs arrogance and DrakeâsâŠ.
Justin Windgate: Everything.
Raven Roberts: What he said.
Josh: Bork! Bork!
Persephone: They both suck and so does Josh or whatever Jakeâs dumb dog is called. Can we get rid of that thing? Clearly somethingâs wrong with it if it actually likes Raven. It probably needs to be put down.
Rich Russillo: Jake is using the turnbuckles to get back up, AND DRAKE CHARGES IN BEFORE DELIVERING A FOREARM TO THE BACK OF JAKEâS HEAD! Drake now lifts Jake up onto the top turnbuckle, and he set him in the reverse way so Jake has no choice but to face the crowd, full of fans that hate his guts! Drake tries to follow behind, BUT JAKE HITS DRAKE WITH A HUGE BACK ELBOW THAT MANAGES TO CATCH HIS FACE!
James Peters: Drake stumbles back down into the ring, BUT HEâS ABLE TO JUMP UP AND HIT JAKE IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD WITH A FOREARM! Drake is climbing back up, and things arenât looking good!
Justin Windgate: :lupe:
James Peters: Drake begins lifting Jake upâŠ. BEFORE GOING FOR A REVERSE SUPERPLEX!!!! DRAKE JUST DELIVERED A REVERSE SUPERPLEX TO JAKE SMITH, BUT NOW DRAKE ROLLS BACK UP TO HIS FEET WHILE STILL HOLDING ONTO JAKE! DRAKE LIFTS JAKE UP, BEFORE SPINNING AROUND AND DROPPING HIM WITH THE DAWN OF JUSTICE!!! DAWN OF JUSTICE CONNECTS ONTO JAKE SMITH, AND NOW DRAKE STAYS ON TOP OF JAKE FOR THE COVER! THATâS GOTTA BE IT!
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE!!!
Rich Russillo: JAKE POPS HIS SHOULDER OFF OF THE MAT JUST BEFORE THREE!!!! IT COULDNâT HAVE COME ANY CLOSER THAN THAT WITHOUT THE BELL RINGING AND THIS MATCH COMING TO AN END! I THOUGHT THAT WAS IT! I ACTUALLY THOUGHT THE MATCH WAS OVER, BUT JAKE JUST BARELY MANAGED TO KICK OUT!
Justin Windgate: Wow. That whole combo with the reverse superplex and that other move at the end was actually impressive, but it couldnât end the match.
James Peters: You donât see Drake do stuff like that often, and when he does itâs usually a normal superplex followed by a falcon arrow! Drake switched things up this time around hoping to get the job done against Jake, who couldnât have possibly seen that coming, but Jake is still in this match! This has to be getting increasingly more frustrating for Drake, and I genuinely donât know how this will end! Drake may be the EAW Champion, but if thereâs anyone who knows Drake well enough to last this long in a match against him, itâs Jake!
Rich Russillo: Drake is pulling Jake back up to his feet, and both men are clearly worn out and exhausted thanks to this match, but it looks like Drake might be looking to end this! Weâve said this a few times now, but if Drake connects with what heâs aiming to, itâs lights out! DRAKE GOES FOR OVERHAUL-
James Peters: BUT JAKE MANAGES TO SLIP BEHIND DRAKE, BEFORE PUSHING DRAKE THROUGH THE ROPES AND OUTSIDE OF THE RING! BOTH MEN ARE DOWN, BUT JAKE UNDOUBTEDLY JUST SAVED THE MATCH FOR HIMSELF! WITH THAT ONE MOVE THIS MATCH COULDâVE ENDED!
Persephone: We were so close⊠SO CLOSE! Why wonât these two just die?
Raven Roberts: Jakeâs desperate to prove heâs good enough, and as whiny as Drake is he doesnât want to lose either.
Persephone: Youâre the last person I want to hear trying to educate me on Raven.
Josh: BORK! BORK! BORK!
Persephone: Alright⊠I get it.
Rich Russillo: Drake is getting up over here by our table, and-
(Drake locks eyes with Justin Windgate, and Drake doesnât look too happy seeing Justinâs face of amusement.)
Drake King: (off-mic) Whatâs so funny?
Justin Windgate: :mjlol2: Nothing. You should probably look behind you, though.
James Peters: Drake looks behind him- AND JAKE SMITH TAKES DRAKE OUT WITH A HUGE BICYCLE KICK! JAKE JUST HIT DRAKE WITH A HUGE BICYCLE KICK, AND NOW JAKE SENDS THE EAW CHAMPION RIGHT INTO THE STEEL STEPS!! DRAKE IS DOWN, AND JAKE HAS A MASSIVE GRIN ON HIS FACE!
(Jake looks over at Raven Roberts, whoâs still holding Josh. Jake doesnât understand why Josh is in Ravenâs arms, but he quickly tries to brush it off before beginning to speak.)
Jake Smith: (off-mic) This is what a Champion looks like!
Raven Roberts: Shut the hell up.
Jake Smith: (off-mic) Or what? What are you gonna do about it, huh?
(Jake walks closer to Raven, and Raven is clearly annoyed. Jake just stops for a second, before slowly shaking his head.)
Justin Windgate: :lupe:
Jake Smith: (off-mic) Yikes. I donât know how Rex deals with you. Does he put a bag over your head, or..?
(Raven tries to keep her composure, but sheâs visibly annoyed with Jake.)
Jake Smith: (off-mic) I guess I shouldnât be surprised Rex was okay with leaving after such a garbage season. He clearly has low standards in every aspect of his life, but at least he doesnât have to worry about ever having a kid with you-
(Raven immediately steps out of her seat and steps up to Jake. Sheâs still holding Josh, whoâs still borking, but if there was anything even resembling a smile on her face before, itâs gone now.)
Rich Russillo: Um.. Guys, thereâs still a match-
Persephone: No no, if Raven hits Jake the match will get called off! This is good! This is great! COME ON, CALL OFF THE MATCH-
James Peters: DRAKE JUST GRABBED JAKE BEFORE SENDING HIM BACK INTO THE RING!
Persephone: WHYYYYYYYYY????
(Raven slowly takes a seat again, but sheâs clearly still unhappy about what just happened.)
James Peters: Drake gives Justin here one more look of disgust before following behind- BUT JAKE SAW IT COMING! JAKE GRABS DRAKE AS SOON AS DRAKE STEPPED THROUGH THE ROPES, AND
THEREâS THE IN BLOOM!!! MAYBE IF DRAKE DIDNâT STOP TO LOOK AT JUSTIN JAKE WOULDNâT HAVE HAD ENOUGH TIME TO GET BACK ON THE OFFENSIVE, BUT JAKE MIGHT HAVE JUST WON THIS MATCH! JAKE QUICKLY PULLS DRAKE AWAY FROM THE ROPES, AND NOW HE GOES FOR THE COVER!
Justin Windgate: Remember when I said Drake screws up sometimes? This is exactly what I meant. He just handed Jake the match.
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE!!-
Rich Russillo: NO HE DIDNâT!!!! DRAKE GETS THE SHOULDER UP JUST BEFORE THREE! DRAKE IS STILL IN THIS MATCH!!! JAKE NEARLY HAD THE MATCH WON!! JUDGING BY THE LOOK IN JAKEâS EYES HE DEFINITELY THOUGHT HE HAD IT WON, BUT NO! DRAKE JUST BARELY SURVIVES!! THE EAW CHAMPION IS STILL IN THIS MATCH!!!
James Peters: Raven, are you okay? Jake made some comments a few moments ago, and-
Raven Roberts: Iâm fine.
James Peters: :lupe:
Persephone: Why donât you guys ever ask if Iâm okay? Why does this have to be all about her?
Rich Russillo: Are you okay?
Persephone: NO IâM NOT OKAY! This match shouldâve been over ages ago! Jake Smith is short, stupid, and canât wrestle! Drake is a third of the most annoying group ever, and to make things worse I have both Raven AND that mentally ill dog that wonât shut up next to me!
Josh: BORK! BORK! BORK! GGRRRRRRRRRRR đĄđ€Ź!!!
James Peters: THIS is why we donât ask if youâre okay.. Anyways Jake is slowly pulling Jake up, and I think heâs about to try and finish this match off since In Bloom wasnât enough to get the job done.
Rich Russillo: Jake pulls Drake up in position for one of his most well known finishing moves, and this could be the end of the match right here! JAKE GOES FOR THE STARMAKER- WAIT NO! DRAKE MANAGES TO PUSH JAKE OFF OF HIM! DRAKE MANAGES TO PUSH JAKE AWAY BEFORE HE COULD CONNECT WITH THE STARMAKER, BUT JAKE TURNS AROUND AND DROPS DRAKE WITH AN ENZUIGIRI BEFORE JAKE COULD CAPITALIZE! JAKE NOW SETTING DRAKE UP FOR A DIFFERENT MOVE, AND THESE ARE THE TYPES OF ADJUSTMENTS THAT PROVES JUST HOW TALENTED JAKE SMITH REALLY IS! FAMOUS LAST WORDS-
James Peters: BUT THESE ARE THE REASONS WHY DRAKE HAS BEEN ABLE TO DO SO WELL AGAINST JAKE! DRAKE JUST SLIPPED OUT OF JAKEâS GRASP BEFORE PULLING HIM INTO A CLOTHESLINE, AND IN THE PROCESS OF AVOIDED YET ANOTHER FINISHING MOVE DRAKE JUST DROPPED JAKE! Drake King just evened the odds, and right now weâre seeing Drake at his best! These two are putting on one hell of a match even if theyâre not the most likable Elitists on the roster! This has been undeniably good, and itâs not over yet!
Rich Russillo: Drake pulls Jake up into a powerbomb position, AND HE CHARGES INTO THE CORNER BEFORE THROWING JAKE INTO IT! DRAKE WITH THE BUCKLE BOMB TO JAKE SMITH- BUT AS JAKE BOUNCES OFF OF THE TURNBUCKLES HE HITS DRAKE WITH A HUGE BICYCLE KICK TO THE SIDE OF HIS JAW, AND THIS CAUSES DRAKE TO TURN AROUND- BEFORE DELIVERING AN ENZUIGIRI OF HIS OWN! ONCE AGAIN BOTH MEN ARE DOWN, AND WHAT WAS THAT!? WHAT DID WE JUST SEE!? Both men taking all the pain they can in order to inflict more pain on their opponents, this is unreal!
Justin Windgate: Itâs a good match. I canât take that away from them. The only thing Iâm really looking to take at all is that EAW Championship, and hopefully in the process come a step closer to ridding this company of New Eden.
James Peters: Both men slowly use the ropes to try and pull themselves up to their feet, AND JAKE HITS DRAKE WITH A FOREARM! Drake stumbles a bit, BUT DRAKE RESPONDS WITH A FOREARM OF HIS OWN TO JAKE! NOW JAKE HITS DRAKE WITH A FOREARM, AND THIS TIME JAKE DOESNâT GIVE DRAKE ANY TIME TO RESPOND AS HE SENDS DRAKE INTO THE ROPES- WAIT NO!
Rich Russillo: DRAKE JUMPS OUT ONTO THE APRON, AND HE HITS JAKE WITH AN ELBOW AS SOON AS HE CHARGED IN! DRAKE NOW LOOKING FOR THE SPRINGBOARD KNEE- BUT IT DOESNâT CONNECT! JAKE MANAGED TO SLIP BEHIND DRAKE, AND NOW JAKE QUICKLY LIFTS DRAKE UP BEFORE DROPPING HIM WITH ULTIMA!! ULTIMA CONNECTS ONCE AGAIN, AND THIS TIME ITâS IN THE CENTER OF THE RING! JAKE GOES FOR THE COVER, IS THIS ABOUT TO BE ENOUGH TO END THE MATCH!?!? DID JAKE SMITH JUST BEAT THE EAW WORLD CHAMPION!?
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE!!!
James Peters: NO!!! ITâS NOT DONE!!!! AGAIN DRAKE MANAGES TO GET HIS SHOULDER UP, AND JAKE SLAMS HIS HANDS INTO THE MAT IN FRUSTRATION! THAT COULDNâT HAVE BEEN ANY CLOSER! JAKE WAS THIS CLOSE TO HAVING THE MATCH WON! THESE TWO HAVE BEEN BEATING THE HELL OUT OF EACH OTHER, BUT SOMEHOW ITâS NOT DONE! SOMEHOW THESE TWO STILL HAVE MORE TO OFFER!
(Rich Russillo looks over at Raven Roberts, about to ask her about her upcoming match with Jake, but he quickly notices that Raven is still annoyed about what happened earlier and decides against it.)
Rich Russillo: This has definitely been a very physical match, and I think that was to be expected. Not only is this very personal thanks to the history these two share, but this is Jakeâs chance to prove he deserves to be in the World Championship picture, meanwhile Drake wants to stop Jake from getting anywhere near the title scene!
Justin Windgate: Well.. I think Drake wants *everyone* away from the title scene :mjlol:.
Rich Russillo: :wow:
James Peters: Jake is back to his feet, and he just begins viciously stomping away at the EAW Champion, knowing that Drake is almost defenseless right now!
Persephone: If Drake is so defenseless then why isnât the match over? Drake is just another useless Champion in a long line of useless Champions, excluding Rex obviously. If Jake wasnât so short and garbage he wouldâve won already, but this is why he always loses to everyone.
Rich Russillo: Drake pulls himself over to the ropes to try and pull himself up, AND NOW JAKE RUNS THE ROPES BEFORE GOING FOR A BIG BOOT- BUT DRAKE JUST BARELY AVOIDS IT, CAUSING JAKE TO GET CAUGHT UP IN THE ROPES! DRAKE PULLS JAKE OUT IN THE HALF NELSON, AND THAT ALLOWS HIM TO DELIVER THE CROWN OF THORNS FOR THE SECOND TIME, BUT HE CANâT GO FOR THE COVER!
James Peters: Drake is too hurt from all the damage he received to go for the cover right now, meanwhile because of where they were positioned Jake rolled right out onto the apron! Drake is forced to grab onto the ropes to try and pull himself back up to his feet, and this may have been a great match but this is slowly becoming a contest to see who can go for the cover first, because I really donât think either man can survive any more moves like that without the match coming to an end!
Rich Russillo: The referee is checking on Drake, but Drake just pushes the referee away from him before going and grabbing Jake- WHO SWINGS WILDLY AT DRAKE, BUT DRAKE DUCKED IT AND CAUSES JAKE TO HIT THE REFEREE- BUT WAIT! THAT WASNâT A PUNCH JAKE THREW! JAKE JUST HIT THE REFEREE WITH A THUMB TO THE EYE, AND I THINK THAT WAS MEANT FOR DRAKE! JAKE WAS GOING TO POKE DRAKE IN THE EYE BUT DRAKE JUST BARELY MANAGED TO AVOID IT! DRAKE NOW LOOKING TO CAPITALIZE OFF OF JAKEâS MISTAKE WITH A CLOTHESLINE, BUT JAKE DUCKS UNDER IT BEFORE HITTING DRAKE WITH A FOREARM!
(Jake backs into the ropes to catch a breath, and he ends up looking back at Raven Roberts, whoâs already pissed off.)
Jake Smith: (off-mic) Aww, whatâs wrong!? Did I say something wrong? :mjlol2:
(Jake turns his attention back to the match, hitting Jake with another forearm, meanwhile the sound of a headset being taken off can be heard, along with more borking.)
Justin Windgate: Raven?
Persephone: Jesus Christ. About time she got up.
(As Raven gets up, she makes sure to grab Persephoneâs monitor.)
Persephone: :wtf:
James Peters: DRAKE HITS JAKE WITH A FOREARM! Jake stumbles back a bit, AND HE GOES FOR A SUPERKICK, BUT DRAKE CATCHES IT BEFORE TURNING JAKE AROUND AND SENDING HIM INTO THE ROPES! JAKE MANAGES TO GRAB ONTO THE ROPES TO STOP HIMSELF-
Rich Russillo: BUT RAVEN ROBERTS IS ON THE APRON, AND SHE HITS JAKE IN THE FACE WITH PERSEPHONEâS MONITOR-
James Peters: NO SHE DOESNâT!!!!! JAKE JUST DUCKED UNDER IT, AND INSTEAD RAVEN JUST HIT DRAKE WITH THE MONITOR!! DRAKE WAS RUNNING IN THANKS TO JAKE STOPPING HIMSELF AT THE ROPES, AND HE JUST TOOK A MONITOR TO THE FACE! JAKE NOTICES THE REFEREE BEGINNING TO TURN HIS ATTENTION BACK TO THE MATCH, SO HE PULLS DRAKE INTO A ROLL UP AS THE SHOCKED RAVEN HAS NO CHOICE BUT TO GET OFF OF THE APRON!
Jake Smith: (off-mic) COUNT!!!
Rich Russillo: THE REFEREE IS COVERING HIS EYE IN PAIN, BUT HEâS GOING FOR THE COUNT STILL AS JAKE PUTS HIS FEET ON THE ROPES FOR EXTRA LEVERAGE!!!
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE!!!
(Ding! Ding! Ding!)
Bella Braxton: Here is your winnerâŠ. JJJAAAAAAAAAAAKKKKKEEEEE SSMMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTHHHH!!!!!!
(âStop Breathingâ immediately begins to play, and Raven slides into the ring with the monitor, clearly ready to attack Jake Smith, but Jake is quick enough to jump out of the ring with a massive grin on his face, knowing he outsmarted Raven and pulled off a massive victory thanks to it.)
James Peters: WHAT JUST HAPPENED!?
Rich Russillo: JAKE SMITH JUST PINNED THE EAW CHAMPION!!!!
Persephone: Raven took my monitor :wtf:.
James Peters: Raven accidentally hit Drake with the monitor thanks to Jake ducking the attack, and since the referee was feeling the effects of the thumb to the eye he wasnât able to catch Jake putting his feet on the ropes!
Rich Russillo: These may be underhanded tactics, but you have to give Jake credit for just how smart he can be! That took a lot of quick thinking, and one mistake from Raven just cost Drake against Jake Smith! Not only has Jake pinned Drake King for the first time in his career, but he did exactly what he said he would! He beat the EAW Champion and proved he belongs in the picture!
Justin Windgate: :mjlol2: Bet it doesnât feel so good now, does it?
James Peters: Thatâs right. Minerva did steal a victory against you earlier by roll up, and it looks like Drake may have suffered karma for her actions!
Rich Russillo: That was an amazing match, but I still canât believe what we just saw!
Persephone: Whatever. This is done now, so finally Raven and âjOsHâ can go away.
(âStop Breathingâ continues to play as Jake is already up the ramp, and Josh soon joins him. Jake has his arms up in celebration, meanwhile Drake is inside of the ring in complete disbelief over what just happened. He looks over at Justin Windgate who has a very amused look on his face, but Drakeâs face doesnât change as he turns his attention to Raven Roberts, who accidentally cost him the match. Drake is in shock, meanwhile Raven is staring down Jake in frustration. Jake continues to celebrate the win as he backpedals up the ramp though, and from there Voltage begins to fade away from the area.)
(Promotional ad for Drake King versus Justin Windgate in a Chainsaw Deathmatch for the EAW Championship.)
(As Voltage fades back from the final commercial break of the night, James Peters is seen standing inside of the ring, and in the middle of the ring is a table with two chairs on opposite sides. On top of the table is a contract, with two pens and two microphones placed on the sides of the contract. As the crowd slowly calms down from cheering, James Peters begins to speak.)
James Peters: Ladies and gentlemen, up next is the contract signing for Bloodsports Universal Womenâs Championship match, Ms. Extreme versus Hikari Kanno in a Championship versus Hair Scaffold Match!
(The crowd cheers once again, this time even louder than before.)
James Peters: Introducing first is the challenger! She is a former Unified Tag Team Champion⊠PLEASE WELCOME HIKARI KANNO!!!
(âDream In Driveâ The Oral Cigarettes hits, and the majority of the crowd begins to boo as Hikari Kanno walks out. Sheâs still in her ring gear having competed in a match earlier tonight, and she ignores the boos from the crowd, looking directly inside of the ring where the table with the contract is, before continuing to make her way down towards the ring.)
Rich Russillo: Hikari Kanno and Ms. Extreme defeated Holly Arrow and Mary S. Atlas in a tag team match earlier in the night, and they managed to end things without violence, but weâll see how long that lasts tonight.
Persephone: Ending things without them killing each other is boring as hell. They better fix all of that right now.
(Hikari Kanno takes a seat in one of the chairs, looking down at the contract while picking up one of the microphones.)
James Peters: And now, please welcome the Universal Womenâs Champion who won her Championship at Pain for PrideâŠ. MS. EXTREME!!!
(The crowd explodes as âZombieâ by Bad Wolves hits. Ms. Extreme begins to walk out holding the Universal Womenâs Championship. Ms. Extreme is also still in her ring attire as she was part of the same match, and the Champion looks directly at Hikari Kanno as she makes her way down towards the ring. As she continues walking towards the ring, Hikari grabs the microphone before beginning to speak.)
Hikari Kanno: I think what you meant to say was, please welcome the dumb cunt thatâs going to lose her Universal Womenâs Championship *and* her hair at Bloodspor-
Ms. Extreme: (off-mic) Shut the fuck up.
(Ms. Extreme finally enters the ring as she keeps her eyes on Hikari Kanno, before finally taking a seat in the open chair, and grabbing the other microphone.)
Hikari Kanno: Whatâs wrong, Camille? These are your last few weeks as Universal Womenâs Champion, you should be enjoying it. Thereâs only a few more weeks until youâll be without that title, without your hair, and without whatever legacy youâve been trying to build these past few years. Only a few more weeks until this Championship reign is erased from history, and replaced with someone far more suited to be at the top of this division.
Ms. Extreme: Someone far more suited? Like who, you? Iâve only been Champion for a few weeks and thereâs NOBODY more suited to hold this title than me. Iâm the only World Champion that fucking matters around here Hikari, and I really donât give a shit if you want to try and cut my hair off, if you want to try and take my Championship, if you want to try and throw me off that scaffold, I donât give a shit if you want to kill me at Bloodsport, because you wouldnât even be able to rip this title from my dead body. Iâm going to be the Universal Womenâs Champion for a long time, and you wouldâve been better off just accepting that before you walked out and threw that challenge back at the Draft, but trust me when I say Iâm going to enjoy embarrassing you at Bloodsport. Iâm going to enjoy leaving you covered in your own blood, without this Championship in your hands and without any of that stupid grey hair on your head.
(Hikari canât help but laugh, which annoys Ms. Extreme, who just rolls her eyes.)
Hikari Kanno: :mjlol: Really? Thatâs what you think? You seriously believe that of all people, youâre the one this company needs as Universal Womenâs Champion? Camille, you happened to get lucky once. Thatâs the only reason youâre holding a World Championship. Thatâs the only reason why you went from being known as someone who could never get the job done, to being known as someone who got away with a fluke. Darcy clearly had no reason to hold that Championship in the first place if she couldnât even put you away, but at Bloodsport Iâll be doing her and the rest of the world a favor by making sure that Championship leaves the show around the waist of someone that actually has what it takes to reach the top, and not the waist of someone that has tried to reach the top time and time again just to consistently come up short. Youâre a failure that had one good day after years of doing what you do best and falling flat on your face, and luck isnât going to keep your Championship reign or your hair intact. You wonât be able to make it out of Bloodsport with any of the fame or glory you picked up back at Pain for Pride. Instead youâll be leaving Bloodsport as a broken, bald shell of an already embarrassing Champion.
Ms. Extreme: You can tell yourself that as much as you want Hikari, but it really doesnât matter how much your simps or Miku try to hype you up and tell you that you can do it. Youâre just not good enough. I was in a Pain for Pride main event because I was good enough. I left that main event with the Universal Womenâs Championship because I was good enough, and Iâm going to kick your ass at Bloodsport for the same reason. Iâm not the Universal Womenâs Champion because I âgot luckyâ or because Pain for Pride was a fluke. Nobody *needs* you as Champion, and besides of your weird simps nobody actually wants you as Champion either, probably because youâre mediocre as fuck and even on my worst day you couldnât compare to me. Youâre not taking this Championship from me, and I never cared what stipulation we were going to fight in, but the fact that this is a scaffold match just makes things so much better, because who knows what Iâll do to you? I could throw you off the scaffold and send you crashing into that barbed wire net. I could make sure youâre not able to walk out of Bloodsport at all, and mark my words I *will* do all of that if it means retaining my Universal Womenâs Championship.
Ms. Extreme: I didnât win this Championship so I could lose it on my first defense, I won it so I could be the best damn World Champion in this company. I won it so I could be the best Universal Womenâs Champion ever, and if you really want to try and get in the way of me being the greatest Universal Womenâs Champion of all time then thatâs fine, but donât be surprised when by the time our Bloodsport match is over, youâre not just leaving empty handed. Youâre going to be leaving with less than when you walked in, because Iâm going to take your hair from you. Iâm going to take your pride from you. Iâm going to make sure you donât have any more blood left to spill by the time our match is over. Youâre going to realize you made a colossal mistake back at the Draft, and since then youâve just been making mistake after mistake week after week. Showing up to Bloodsport at all will be your final one, because by the time our match is finished you wonât even want to ever face me again.
(The crowd cheers for Ms. Extreme, and the cheers grow even louder as she grabs the contract and pen before signing it. Hikari Kanno doesnât look impressed at all as Ms. Extreme shoves the contract her way.)
Hikari Kanno: Whatever you say, Camille. I carried you to victory tonight and Iâll have no problem carrying you to an actually watchable match at Bloodsport. When itâs all said and done youâll have me to thank for making you the most relevant youâve been in your entire career, right before falling to the lowest point youâve ever been. You already went your entire career only ever finding a small bit of success in the midcard so I donât think itâll hurt you dropping back down the card. Everyone should be used to you failing at this point. We should all be used to making a bunch of promises just like this all for you to find the same result you said wouldnât happen. I am going to leave Bloodsport as the new Universal Womenâs Champion, and when it happens the entire world will be thanking me. Everyone will be grateful for the fact that we no longer have a giant piece of shit as World Champion.
(Hikari Kanno signs the contract, and despite most of the fans not being fans of her, the crowd cheers due to the match between Hikari and Ms. Extreme finally being made official.)
Hikari Kanno: Well that makes it official. Championship versus Hair. This is where your reign ends.
(The crowd continues cheering, but Hikari and Ms. Extreme donât take their eyes off of each other.)
Hikari Kanno: Youâve been in the main event scene long enough, now. I know this place is used to giving stupid undeserving fucks their time in the spotlight just because theyâve been here for a while, but that World Championship is more than youâve ever deserved. You donât belong in the main event scene. You never did, and you never will. That Championship isnât meant to be held by cunts like you, Camille. Soon the Universal Womenâs Championship will belong to IDOL-GUN, and this company will be better for it, because theyâll finally have someone that they can promote as Champion. Theyâll finally have someone as Champion that they can be proud of. Theyâll finally have someone who isnât an embarrassment like you.
(The crowd boos for Hikari Kanno, and it looks like the fans arenât the only ones that didnât like what she had to say. Ms. Extreme gets right out of her seat, still holding her Championship and the microphone she had in her hand. Hikari Kanno slowly gets up as well, and she doesnât show any fear as the two Elitists slowly walk around the table, going face to face with each other.)
Ms. Extreme: I hope you realize just what youâre dealing with, because at Bloodsport I WILL make sure I leave with this Championship and your hair. Iâm going to make sure I humiliate you and make you regret ever stepping up to me. This title isnât going anywhere and it never fucking mattered who volunteered to be my first defense, but not only did you step up to the plate, you tried to embarrass me. You tried to get inside my head, and Iâm not going to stop until you regret ever thinking you had what it took to take down Ms. Extreme.
(Ms. Extreme raises her Championship in front of Hikari Kanno as the crowd begins cheering loudly for the Champion. Finally, âZombieâ begins playing once again as the cheers continue, but neither woman takes their eyes off of one another, likely because they both understand that their future Bloodsport opponent could end up attacking at any moment just like they have in the past few weeks.)
Rich Russillo: So itâs official! Ms. Extreme will defend her Universal Womenâs Championship against Hikari Kanno in a Championship versus Hair scaffold match! Tensions have been building between these two for weeks now as it started back at the Draft show, and I just canât wait to see this match finally happen!
Persephone: I donât see how either of these two are World Championship material, but I guess itâs fine as long as they end up killing each other at Bloodsport. I had to sit through so much unnecessary nonsense tonight and I doubt next week will end up any better. Bloodsport better make up for this with deaths all across the board.
Rich Russillo: Well thatâs all the time we have for this week. Inside of the ring is James Peters, Iâm Rich Russillo and with me is Persephone! Weâll see you all next week, for the final Voltage before Bloodsport!
(As James Peters remains inside of the ring to make sure things donât go out of control, Ms. Extreme and Hikari Kanno remain face to face, sharing some words that canât be picked up by the camera, although after all theyâve already said tonight itâs pretty clear how they feel about each other. As âZombieâ continues to play, Voltage begins to fade out to black for the final time.)
