United Wrestling League along with P.W. Syndicated present... UWL Retribution... "Retribution" by Biohazard begins playing. As the song kicks in, the video package plays... Why do you lie, Why do you cheat Why do you try and deceive Always twisting around what you say You better change your foolish ways This world does not need Always finding new friends to betray Voiceover: Gaia Galanos... The unbeatable force. The Queen of Wrestling... Flame Puppy. The rookie sensation. The fan favorite. For the first time ever, two women main event a UWL Event. Both make history tonight. But who will walk out as the Queen of Wrestling? Payback now Gonna get yours, What's coming to you Gonna get yours, It's the big payback now See what you've done to me you fool. Voiceover: Tony Miranda is the living definition of 'Retribution.' Jack Waters presumably ended Miranda's career in a Buried Alive match. But The Hunter is back. And he's looking for his Retribution. One last time, these warriors will battle. Who will be the last Man Standing? I payback now Backstabber, Payback now I can't find reason to believe any word you say is true Always living surrounded by lies unless it comes from deep within Honesty's not for you Your actions will end in your demise Voiceover: Jason Orion continues to shock the world. A win tonight will make him the longest reigning American Heavyweight Champion of all time... In his path, The Franchise, Jonny Cedrone. Two styles clash for one of the biggest prizes in the business. Payback now Gonna get yours, What's coming to you Gonna get yours, It's the big payback now Voiceover: Alex Castellanos is the UWL World Heavyweight Champion. A date with Delikado is on the horizon. But before that, he must focus on the duo of Stone and Valentyne, who look to make a huge statement in the name of New Edge Wrestling. Can they do it? Or will Castellanos, along with his friend, Ace Baldwin, give Delikado a preview of what to expect? See what you've done to me you fool. I payback now Backstabber, Payback now I entrusted you and you stabbed me in the back Trust is what you earn, Tell me that respect I lack; Reason to believe any other word to use for what you've done to me, in the end you'll be the one to lose. In the end you'll be the one to lose The video package wraps up and we go live inside the Moda Center. Pyro goes off and the fans are going wild. We then go to the announcers booth... Frank Archer: HELLO! And welcome to UWL Retribution! We are LIVE from the Moda Center in beautiful Portland, Oregon! I'm Frank Archer, and as always, I'm joined tonight by the always entertaining, Mac Raines! Mac Raines: Beautiful? What's beautiful about it? It's been raining ever since we got here. I feel like Forest Gump. Light rain. Heavy rain. Raining down, raining sideways. I think it's even raining UP! Frank Archer: Yes, the Northwest is known for its precipitation. Mac Raines: Precipitation my ass! I feel like I'm going to meet Spongebob tonight! Frank Archer: Well... This is the UWL. Santa Claus was once our Junior Heavyweight Champion. Anything is possible. Mac Raines: Fair point there Frankie. Frank Archer: Folks, tonight is gonna be special! Twelve... Yes TWELVE matches tonight including three UWL Championships to be decided. Mac Raines: Yes, as we are in the "beautiful" northwest, we are set to crown the very first UWL Western States Heavyweight Champion. ACE's Ricky Molaroni takes on NGW's Carlos Cruz to see just who is the best from the west! Frank Archer: The American Heavyweight Title is also on the line when the unlikely champion, Jason Orion, takes on Jonny Cedrone in what should be a tremendous matchup. Mac Raines: Cedrone may have lost a home as OCW goes up in smoke, but at least he'll have some gold. He's walking out of here as American Champion! Frank Archer: That remains to be seen. We also have a triple threat match for the UWL Junior-Heavyweight Title. Champion, Vincent Jericho, takes on ACE's Tyson Turbo and recently named Free Agent, Travis Dane. Mac Raines: I got nothing to say about any of these guys. That match will tear the house down. Frank Archer: And the main event. Queen of Wrestling World championship is on the line when the dominant champion, Gaia Galanos of GPW takes on the rookie sensation, ACE's Flame Puppy. Mac Raines: Hey, Mac Raines will always love him a spunky chick. But Gaia is intense. She's a badass. And she's downright frightening. So I'm just gonna hope she doesn't destroy Flame Puppy TOO much and then I'll go comfort the poor girl. Frank Archer: ... Yea I'm sure that'll go exactly how you've planned it out. Mac Raines: Want the details? Frank Archer: God no... Let's get to the action folks! ------------------------------------- ![]() Keith Williams: Ladies and genlemen, this is your opening contest at UWL Retribution... And it is a triple threat match for the UWL Junior-Heavyweight Championship! So don't breathe when I talk Cause you haven't been spoken to! The arena lights begin flashing blue and white as the crowd turns the entrance way. Spotlights shine at the stage, showing very few glimpses of a figure as "Out of the Black" by Royal Blood continues to play as the strobe lights in the arena begin to flash multiple colors as the crowd looks down at the entrance gate, and we see Vincent Jericho hop out, and he gets massive cheers. He pays no attention to the crowd, and just focuses his sights on the ring. He walks down the aisle, almost as if he has no emotion as the Claire announces his arrival. Keith Williams: Making his way to the ring, now residing in Palo Alto, California, weighing in at 200 pounds... He is the UWL Junior-Heavyweight Champion... VINCENT JERICHO!!!! Jericho stops at the end of the ramp, looking around at the ring, and then at the crowd. He hops up onto the ring apron, and looks around at the crowd that surrounds him. He enters the ring and walks around for a bit, stretching his arms and works out his neck before standing in the far corner of the ring, waiting for his match to begin. Frank Archer: This should be one outstanding match. Mac Raines: This will be the show stealer Frankie. What a way to start off Retribution! The arena lights strobe as a voice calls out. "TURBO! TURBO! TURBO!" The voice fades out as Pretty Fly For a White Guy - The Offspring picks up. Give It To Me Baby, Uh-Huh Uh-Huh Give It To Me Baby, Uh-Huh Uh-Huh And All the Girlies Say I'm Pretty Fly For a White Guy! The curtain is pushed open as...Tyson Turbo struts out into the entrance area, raising his arms up like he was "raising the roof". He flashes a big grin to which the crowd responds with encouraging gestures. Turbo continues down the aisle, periodically doing his "raise the roof" taunting to the beat of the song. Keith Williams: From Turbo City, USA... Weighing in at 190 Pounds... Representing ACE... TYSON TURBO! He Needs Some Cool Tunes, Not Just Any Will Suffice But They Didn't Have Ice Cube, So He Bought Vanilla Ice Now Cruising in His Pinto, He Sees Homies as He Pass But If He Looks Twice They're Gonna Kick His Lily Ass! Turbo slides into the ring under the bottom rope. He tries to kip up but he just falls back on his shoulders! He kips up again, this time he gets to his feet. He stretches both his arms out with a cheesy grin, but is met with the same "Is this guy serious?" look as before. Mac Raines: .... Turbo City, USA? What, is that across the street from Dudleyville? Frank Archer: Tyson Turbo is as beloved as they come. And tonight he could be taking some gold home! “Last of the Real” by Stone Sour blasts out over the pa system as the audience jump to their feet and cheer, the certain is pulled aside as Travis Dane steps through in a chauvinistic way, standing on the stage and posing flamboyantly. Keith Williams: And finally... Weighing in today at 220 pounds, hailing from East London in the United Kingdom, He is the homebreaker…TRAVIS…DANE! Travis strolls down the aisle, slapping the hands of nearby fans, walking around to the steps and climbing up to the ring apron. He walks along and stands near the middle, holding the top rope in both his hands as he faces the crowd, he smiles and says something the camera cannot pick up. Travis turns and climbs through the ropes, walking across the ring and climbs up to the second rope, posing as only Travis Dane can before leaping down off the turnbuckle and walking over to his corner as his music fades away. Travis takes his hooded vest jacket off and hands it to the ring attendant. Frank Archer: All three men will be in the ring at the same time. First one to get a pinfall or make a man submit will be declared the UWL Junior-Heavyweight Champion! DING DING!! All three men are reluctant to be the first to strike. Fans are still getting to their seats as Turbo and Dane both go after Jericho. The two corner him and begin punching and kicking. The crowd looks on, surprised as the two whip him across the ring, then drop him with a double back elbow. Turbo hits a quick snap suplex before Dane tosses the Champion out of the ring. Frank Archer: Well we were not expecting that. The challengers dispose of Jericho early, and now can focus on each other. Mac Raines: Can't help but wonder if this was premeditated. Dane and Turbo shake hands, as if they were congratulating each other, until Dane pulls Turbo in and decks him with a forearm smash that takes the cheesy grin off of Turbo. He then rocks Turbo with european uppercuts, that no doubt has his head spinning. A boot to the gut is followed by a swinging neckbreaker and a quick pin... But Turbo kicks out. Mac Raines: Smart to go for a pin early on. Maybe catch him off guard, and while Jericho is still on the outside. Frank Archer: Jericho better get in the ring. He could lose the title without being pinned. Dane rocks Turbo as he tries to get up and irish whips him off, but Turbo reverses and sends The Homebreaker across the ring. On the return, Turbo tries to lift Dane up, but Dane uses the momentum to land behind Turbo and grab him by the waist. The two men hit the rope, and Turbo hangs on. Dane rolls back and gets to his feet, but is met with a back kick to the gut by Turbo. Turbo drops Dane with a fame asser style legdrop. He pins... But Travis Dane kicks out. Mac Raines: Is Vincent Jericho alive? Travis Dane and Tyson Turbo are battling in the center of the ring, when Vincent Jericho strikes. He springs off the ropes and drops both men with a double dropkick. He gets up quickly and connects with kicks to the legs of Tyson Turbo. He works his way up to the midsection, then finally knocks Turbo down with a jumping reverse roundhouse kick. Turbo falls out of the ring. Frank Archer: Vincent Jericho is on fire! Mac Raines: Those feet are lethal. Jericho feels Dane coming and sidesteps him. Dane hits the ropes and the UWL Jr Heavyweight Champion hits the Personality Check (bicycle kick to the face). He quickly pins... One... Two... Kickout... Mac Raines: How did Dane kick out? He won't be stealing any chicks after that kick may have knocked out a tooth or two! Vincent Jericho brings Dane to his feet, but Dane catches him off guard with a jawbreaker. Dane then carries Jericho to the corner and lifts him to a seated position on the top turnbuckle. We will never know what Dane has planned, because Jericho knocks him down as he is trying to climb the ropes. Jericho then hits a Phoenix Splash from the middle rope. The crowd is in awe as Jericho pins... One... Two... Save by Tyson Turbo... Mac Raines: I don't even know how to call that move. Frank Archer: Vincent Jericho is his own kind of athlete. A rare breed. Turbo pounces on Jericho as Dane rolls to safety. Turbo hits Jericho with some forearm strikes, but Jericho is battling right back. That is until, Turbo surprises him with a double ear slap, ringing the bell of the champ. A standing dropkick sends Jericho to the mat. Tyson Turbo climbs the top rope, and stands tall on the turnbuckle, lifting his arms up and down before leaping off and hitting an elbow drop. Mac Raines: Did this man in 2015 just Raise the Roof? Frank Archer: He sure did, and now he's pinning! Could he win the gold? One... Two... Th-Kickout... Frank Archer: So close. Turbo gets up as Jericho back peddles to the ropes and uses them to get to his feet. Turbo charges at him and Jericho ducks, and backdrops Turbo over the ropes. Tyson lands it, on the apron however. Turbo grabs Jericho by the head and runs him head first into the turnbuckle. Except Jericho blocks and drives Turbo face first into the turnbuckle. Jericho joins Turbo on the apron, but Turbo grabs Jericho by the waistline of his trunks and drives him skull first into the post! Frank Archer: Wise move by Tyson Turbo. Mac Raines: He's climbing the turnbuckle though! Tyson Turbo climbs the turnbuckle from the apron and faces the outside. As Vincent Jericho gets to his feet, Tyson Turbo leaps and hits a senton, crashing down on the Jr Heavyweight Champion. The crowd is loving it as Tyson Turbo gets to his feet. Turbo does show signs of pain however as he slowly bends down to bring Jericho to his feet. But before he knows what hits him, Travis Dane has slid into the ring, got a running start, and hits a corkscrew plauncha onto both men. "Holy Shit! Holy Shit!" Mac Raines: I agree with the fans! Where did he come from? Frank Archer: Travis Dane showing just how bad he wants this. He recently signed with Capital City Wrestling. He wants to take the title back with him. All three men are down, but Dane is the first to his feet. He rolls the champion into the ring, and lays the boots to Turbo some, before crawling into the ring. When he is in, Dane looks set to end it with his Impant DDT, but Jericho counters out, and drops him with a neckbreaker. He climbs the top rope, but before he can do anything, Tyson Turbo hops on the apron and shoves him off. Jericho goes flying to the outside and hits the guardrail. Mac Raines: Ouch! He may have a broken jaw! Turbo gets in the ring and is immediately met with a kick to the face by Dane. Travis Dane says it's over and bends down to grab Tyson Turbo... But Turbo rolls him up in a small package... One... Two... Three!!! Mac Raines: WHAT!?! DING DING DING!!! Keith Williams: Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner.... And NEW UWL Junior Heavyweight Champion... TYYYYSSOOOONNN TUUUURRRRRBOOOO!!! Frank Archer: What a move by Turbo! "PRetty Fly For A White Guy" plays as Turbo immediately slides out of the ring. The ref slides out with him and hands him his new Championship. Mac Raines: No freaking way! Travis Dane sits up, and can't believe what just happened... Vincent Jericho is coming around on the outside, hearing that he just lost his title. He stares down Dane in the ring, as Tyson Turbo begins the celebration up the aisleway. Frank Archer: What a way to start Retribution! ------------------------------------- Join The Island - http://z10.invisionfree.com/GALVESTON2010/index.php? ------------------------------------- ![]() Zero by Evergreen Terrace plays as Zero runs out to a HUGE pop from the fans. He plays up to the crowd as he shoots out t-shirts from the t-shirt gun. Keith Williams: The following contest is set for one fall. Introducing first, from The Negative Zone, weighing in at 190 pounds. Representing NGSE... ZERO! Zero now slides into the ring and does a little dance with the ref. Mac Raines: What is this shit? Frank Archer: This is Zero. He represents NGSE, one of UWL's newest promotions. Mac Raines: No I got that. But why does he have a superhero costume that looks like my mom made it? And why is he dancing? Frank Archer: Zero is a mysterious man. Mac Raines: Got that right... The lights slowly begin to change, eventually the entire arena is covered in a colorless, black and white light. From the stage, a fog slowly begins to rise, covering the stage. From the speakers, a chilling tune begins to play, and shortly after, a laugh echos throughout the arena. "Who knows what evil...lurks in the hearts of men?" A voice asks, before laughing once more. "The Shadow Knows..." Immediately after, "Self Deciever" by Grand Magus begins to play, and The Shadow walks out onto the stage, keeping his head down, allowing his hat to cover his face from view. He stops for a moment, placing his hand on his hat, and looking up at the ring. He then lowers his head once again, and begins walking towards the ring. Keith Wiliiams: And his opponent... Weighing in at 380 pounds... Representing NAW, THE SHADOW! As he enters the ring, The Shadow takes off his coat. With a finger, he raises his hat up slowly, looking at his opponent, and simply shakes his head. He then takes off his hat and tosses it out of the ring. Mac Raines: Well... The mood just changed in here Frankie. Frank Archer: If there was ever a match with two complete opposites... This. This is it. DING DING!! The Shadow stands completely still as Zero looks on, a bit nervous. And who could blame him? Zero darts at The Shadow and jumps on him to attack. Shadow simply tosses him off. Zero hits the mat but springs back up for a second attempt. Again, he gets thrown back. When Zero jumps on Shadow the third time, he is met with a huge open hand smack to the chest, dropping him like a fly. Mac Raines: Try something else superhero. Frank Archer: Zero has a huge hill to climb this evening. Mac Raines: Yea. A big scary, living, breathing, skull crushing hill. Zero is up, and comes back at Shadow, who steps forward, catching Zero and slams him down with a sidewalk slam. Zero is tough though. Despite being slammed down, he gets to his feet rather quickly. Shadow doesn't mind. He grabs Zero by the mask, but Zero fights him off with kicks to the legs. Specifically the thigh. Now free from the grasp of Shadow, Zero turns and hits the ropes. He ducks Shadow, who was waiting for him and hits the ropes again. Unfortunately, when he comes back, Shadow's giant boot is there to greet his teeth. Zero is dropped by the big boot and Shadow decides to pin him. Mac Raines: Well that's it. One... Two... Th-Kickout! Frank Archer: Zero is a tough individual. Mac Raines: Ya better be to dress like that. Frank Archer: Quit making fun of him Mac. I don't see you out there putting your well being on the line. Mac Raines: Because I'm smart. The Shadow applies a nervehold immediately after Zero kicks out. He clamps down on his opponent, putting all his weight on the smaller man as well. Zero, with the help of the fans, is trying to get back in it though. He manages to get to his feet, only to be thrown back down by the mask by Shadow. Shadow bounces off the ropes and comes down with an elbow that misses. Zero rolls out of the way and uses his speed to get up before Shadow. Zero comes at Shadow with kicks, not letting him up. Frank Archer: There you go Zero. Stay on him. Shadow shoves Zero away, allowing him to get up. Zero continues the kicks. Now to the thighs, weakening the frame of the big man. Shadow swings wildly, missing badly. Zero takes advantage with a spinning heel kick that connects with the large jaw of Shadow, sending him stumbling to the ropes. Zero charges at Shadow, but Shadow simply powers him up for a powerbomb. Zero counters with a hurricanrana that sends both men over the top rope. Shadow crashes to the floor below, as Zero 'skins the cat' and pulls himself back over into the ring. The crowd explodes as Zero is getting hyped up. Frank Archer: Impressive move by Zero, using speed and agility to out work Shadow. Mac Raines: This is the first time we've ever seen Shadow down. I don't know what to say. Frank Archer: How about 'Zero is impressing me here tonight.' Mac Raines: No, that doesn't sound believable. Zero hasn't impressed Mac Raines yet, but he's about to. Instead of letting the big man get back in the ring, Zero gets a head of steam, then soars over the ropes, like only a superhero could and comes crashing down on Shadow! Zero is up once again, and ring side fans are slapping him on the back and high fiving him. Mac Raines: Why is he celebrating with fans? Frank Archer: They love him Mac! Mac Raines: They'll love him even more if he could beat The Shadow. Zero grabs The Shadow by the hair and hammers him a few times before rolling him into the ring. Zero heads for the top rope. Standing tall, Zero leaps high, but Shadow catches him! Shadow shows impressive strength by carrying Zero around before deadlifting him up onto his shoulders and dropping him with a samoan drop. Mac Raines: HAH! What a move by Shadow! Frank Archer: Unbelievable power shown by The Shadow, and that may have been Zero's only shot. The Shadow gets to his feet, shaking the cobwebs loose after Zero's rally. Zero is struggling to get to his feet, and uses the ropes to do so. Shadow grabs Zero, lifting him off his feet, and into a bearhug. Shadow squeezes mercifully as the ref asks Zero if he wishes to submit. Mac Raines: Pop him like a pimple Shadow! Zero cannot escape. Shadow is too strong. He's desperate. He digs his thumbs into the eyes of Shadow. Shadow releases Zero and is rubbing his eyes. Zero then connects an enziguri which drops the big man to a knee. When Zero turns to hit the ropes, he is full speed ahead. So is Shadow. Shadow has sprung to life and connects a running body press, completely obliterating his adversary. Mac Raines: And that'll do it. The end. Frank Archer: Zero is in serious trouble right now. He may have internal damage done. The Shadow knows he can pin Zero now, but decides to inflict a bit more damage. He brings Zero's lifeless body up, locks him up, then drops him with Instant Death (Tiger Driver '91). Shadow pins. One... Two... Three!!! Keith Williams: Here is your winner... THE SHADOW!!! "Self Deciever" plays once more as Shadow takes a few extra seconds before getting off of Zero's lifeless body. Mac Raines: Dear God. Everyone in the UWL take notice. The Shadow is going to destroy everyone. Frank Archer: Is there anyone that CAN stop The Shadow? The Shadow calmly stands over Zero, looking down at him as the ref attends to Zero and his injuries. ------------------------------------- Edited by KevinHill, Mar 14 2015, 09:57 PM.

------------------------------------- The scene opens up the backstage, particularly the GPW locker room. First thing we see in the scene is Veronica Valiant, who is already clad in her ring gear, while speaking on her smart phone to someone. As we listen, we soon find out exactly who... Veronica Valiant: Stella. You have no idea how bad this is. I have to share a locker room! Yes. A communal one! Horrible! Suddenly, the New Yorker’s ranting is interrupted by the approach of a familiar superstar - none other than her opponent at the upcoming episode of GPW Explosion (and tag team partner this evening), ‘The Atheist’ Anne Brandeis who is wearing her black and red sequined ring robe. Seeing her, Veronica’s countenance takes on a sneer of distaste, as she adds: Veronica Valiant: Ugh. Stella, I’ll have to call you later. The clientele around here just became a lot less exclusive… Anne Brandeis: Funny I was thinking the same thing. You do realize these locker rooms are for wrestlers. Not spoiled rich girls at fantasy wrestling camp? I mean don’t get me wrong I’d certainly share my locker room with a Make-A-Wish kid that wanted to play wrestler or even a fan that won a contest but… Veronica Valiant: Make-A-Wish, how adorable. I think I donated a penny to them once. But you see, I would never share my locker room with anyone except Takada or certain...special friends of mine. There is a high pitch laughter as the camera pans over to see The Harlequin clad in a Joker theme bra and black shorts. She is holding the rest of her clothing slung over her shoulder seemingly very amused with the back and forth. The Harlequin: Special friends of yours? I didn’t know you were into… ‘hired’ company. You certainly are new to this, aren’t you? Sharing a locker room is as common as women who think they can wrestle. Harlequin’s head tips slightly as she smirks, a smirk which is matched by Veronica’s own. The wealthy New Yorker looks The Harlequin up and down as she retorts: Veronica Valiant: Hired company? New to this? Honey...you’re the one dressed like a clown. You shouldn’t so much as be looking at me, let alone making assumptions about my lifestyle and career. Now...back to your corner. Shoo! The Harlequin: Oh! You wound me! Allow me to go cry! Boo! Help, someone, help! The hag is picking on me using insults as boring as she is! Veronica how does it feel to know that you are as boring as this wall? Anne, won’t you help me? Pleease? Go on. Smack her around so we don’t have dead weight! Bet we can take down the opponents much easier with Verno! Harlequin’s head tips down as she blinks through the green bangs hanging in her face. Anne pauses for a moment giving a slow half-grin looking bemused. Anne Brandeis: You think her insults are boring? Have you watched some of her matches? I’ve been watching tapes of her to prepare for our bout on Explosion and I’ve had to double my coffee intake to stay awake. Harlequin cracks up very amused with Anne at this point. Veronica also seems amused, though in a different and much more smug way: Veronica Valiant: Oh really? You saw me on Explosion? Funny that. I didn’t see either of you there. Oh wait, were you booked on Detonation as usual? Anne Brandeis: Did you miss when I laid out the Goddesses? Has early senility set in? Veronica Valiant: Oh. That thing. Yes. It was you, wasn’t it? Another female voice cuts in from outside of the camera’s scene. Voice: That is about enough of that. As the camera pans out, we see that the voice belongs to none other than Gaia Galanos, the UWL Queen of Wrestling Champion and GPW World Champion. Both titles are, of course, hanging from her shoulders as she steps up to the three of them. Harlequin smirks changes into a innocent smile as she skips over to lean against Gaia. Gaia Galanos: The three of you have a match that you need to win. Head Office or not. Tonight, you three are a team against those women representing Women of Miami Wrestling. WMW needs to be dominated while Emma and I dominate ACE. So maybe a little unity, despite personal feelings, would be excellent. Those icy blue eyes look between the three of them before stopping upon Veronica. Gaia Galanos: Veronica, I would like to think you would be a little more intelligent about your situational awareness. If you hadn’t noticed, this isn’t friendly territory for you. I would tread lightly if I were you. Anne Brandeis: I’ve been on the mend for a VERY long time… and I intend to make a statement out there. So long as someone doesn’t trip over my robe, I’m going to make some examples out of people tonight. And if *someone* gets in my way… she might not make it to our match on Explosion. And as for you Gaia… I respect you. But you still have something I want. Don’t forget that. This entire exchange is witnessed silently by Veronica, who still wears the same condescending smirk. She begins to edge past Anne and Galanos, declaring: Veronica Valiant: Well, it seems as though you two have quite a lot to discuss, so I’ll leave you to it. I haven’t made my pre-match….preparations yet. ...TAKADA! Before Valiant’s manager-slash-husband can heed her call, however - and before Veronica can make it all the way to the locker room door - the Head Office member finds her path blocked by the Nihilist herself, Emma Carlisle. Without any desire on either side to be doing so, she and Veronica are face-to-face, nearly nose-to-nose, and a sneer twists easily into place on Emma’s smooth features as though it always belonged there. Emma Carlisle: Off to fetch Miss Stella’s dry cleaning, are we? Perhaps to lick her thousand-dollar heels? The sneer gives way to a glower. Emma Carlisle: You’re in this one’s way, youngling. Veronica responds with a sneer of her own: Veronica Valiant: Excuse me? You’re the one who’s in my way. Now move, I have things to attend to. Valiant once again begins trying to edge past GPW’s chaotic emissary, but Emma stops her in her tracks. This time, Emma DOES get nose-to-nose with Veronica...but turns her head at the last moment and inhales deeply perhaps a bit too close to the Head Office member’s neck. She then draws back and steps aside. Emma Carlisle: You reek of desperation. Veronica Valiant: You reek of...all sorts of things I’d rather not think about. Despite the bold nature of her words, however, it is clear that Veronica is getting rather nervous. Her body almost reflexively leans a few inches in the direction of the door, but this still won’t be the time when she gets to turn the handle. Emma moves past as though no longer interested by Veronica and finds herself eyes to chest with Gaia herself. Uncomfortable silence ensues and the only shift in Emma’s attention is from the champion’s face to her GPW Championship and back again. She says nothing, however, and takes a seat alone on the other side of the room. Harlequin glances upwards towards Gaia gently bumping their arms together. The female clowns appears to be bored by the situation as she turns away to finish getting ready. Meanwhile, this is Veronica’s cue to leave - which she finally does, all but stumbling out of the locker room. Once in the clear, she takes a moment to compose herself, though her distress is evident to her manager and husband: Takada: What’s wrong, Veronica? You look like you’ve seen a ghost…! Veronica’s voice is raspy as she replies: Veronica Valiant: It wasn’t a ghost… Then, in a more normal tone: Veronica Valiant: But don’t you worry about that. Come on. We’ve got less than half an hour before bell time -- that should be just about enough. And with this, she offers Takada her arm, letting him lead her down one of the corridors of the Moda Center, towards somewhere more private. In a few minutes, the chill and queasiness currently jockeying for position inside her will have gone away, replaced by the usual warm fuzzies only a pre-match workout with Takada can provide. Or at least, so she hopes. ------------------------------------- ![]() “King of the World” hit the PA system in Portland, Oregon and the arena exploded in a mix of cheers and boos. No matter how you felt about the man who would be making his way to the ring, you felt the need to make noise. As Alex Castellanos stepped onto the ramp, the noise level only elevated. He raised his UWL World Heavyweight Championship into the air, the first time he had done in a UWL arena since his victory over Gunner Hughes one month ago at WrestleFest IV. Standing closely behind him was his girlfriend Sarah Sharp. Frank Archer: Here comes the newly crowned champion. He is slated to say a few words before he is in action tonight against NEW’s Hunter Valentyne and Thaddeus Stone. Mac Raines: But where is his partner? Where is Ace Baldwin? Frank Archer: That’s a good point, Mac. I have no idea. Mac Raines: The champ is good, but two on one are not odds that I like. As Castellanos enters the ring, he reluctantly holds the ropes for Sarah. His music dies down, and so does the crowd. With a mic in hand, he moves to the center of the ring. Alex Castelllanos: One month ago, I stood in this ring and I knew that I would be in for the fight of my life. And I was right. But I was also ready, and Gunner Hughes is a man who knows that now. There is a mixed reaction to that statement. Alex Castellanos: No I’m back, but am I in the main event? No. For some reason that it boggles my mind to think about, Kevin Hill and the UWL decided I should be coming to you… third? That is a piss break spot, but if you think for one second that I won’t be putting on a show tonight… you are sadly mistaken. Because my partner isn’t here tonight, so I decided I would talk on these two on my own. If I can beat Gunner, I beat any two men the UWL can throw at me. The crowd begins to make noise as Ace Baldwin runs down the ramp with a microphone in hand. Ace Baldwin: No, no, Alex, I’m here. Just a little late is all. Ace enters the ring as Sarah takes the microphone from Alex and begins to lay into Ace. Sarah Sharp: What were you thinking? This is the UWL World Heavyweight Champion… were you going to leave him out here to fight on his own? To get injured? He is worth more than you ever will – Alex grabs the microphone from Sarah and glares at her. Ace laughs. Ace Baldwin: You know I wouldn’t leave you hanging Alex. If I was a few minutes later, I would have ran in to make a save. Instead, it’s you and me. Alex Castellanos: If I can’t trust you to get here on time, why should I trust you to take care of Delikado tomorrow night at ACE? I want to finish him quickly here in a few weeks… but I can’t do that if you don’t give me something to work with. Ace Baldwin: Delikado? No problem. Navigating Portland roads, that is not my specialty. The lights dim simultaneously on out in the Moda Center as it plunges into darkness "Mr. MTV" By Nothing More begins to blare on out of the PA sound system across the arena. As it does a strobe light flickers on and can be seen throughout the arena as if on cue, out of nowhere Thaddeus Stone appears and can be seen swinging around to face the fans. Stone paces the entrance isle, left to right as he does the fans of UWL can be heard booing Stone, various chants of "You can’t Act" and "You Suck!" can be heard along with various jeers, and remarks of disdain, before finally retaking center stage. Keith Williams: The followng contest is set for one fall, coming from British Columbia, Canada by way of Los Angeles, California he weighs in tonight at Two-hundred and Thirty-Five pounds and stands approximately Six’ foot and Three” inches... He is “THE KING OF CINEMA”... THADDDDDDDEUS STTTTTONE!!! Thaddeus slowly walks down the entrance isle, as he does he stands in the center of the isle , the strobe light flicker back to a solid white light, as it does the white piercing light comes shinning down upon him and illuminating his figure which can be seen being illuminating under the light as he stands in the entrance isle looking out into the darkness that surrounds him for a few seconds. Frank Archer: Thaddeus Stone is a recent signing of NEW and looks to be ready to take New Edge by storm. Mac Raines: Well he's got his chance. He's against the UWL World Heavyweight Champion. As Stone does he can be seen wearing a his signature feathered robe which can seen being lit up under the white light, Thaddeus soaks in the boos, and jeers, and chants of despise from the fans. His eyes burn with intensity and hatred towards those booing him, his body pounding with adrenaline with blood lust on his mind as he makes his way down to the ring. Frank Archer: He looks ready. Mac Raines: His intro sure is a long one... Stone slowly walks on down the isle, once at ringside Thaddeus walks around to the steel steps and slowly walks on up, before entering the ring finally. Once inside the ring Stone climbs the nearest turnbuckle and throws out his arms ((Via Randy Orton)) as he continues to soak in the jeers. Keith Williams: And his partner... Straight Jacket Super Model by Eve to Adam plays over the sound system as a video package of The Myth Killer plays all of his best moves in the ring. Hunter walks out in his full length leather white ring coat and black and green tights. The crowd boos heavily as he is truly one of the most hated men on the planet. He soaks up the boos as if they are fueling him to the next action he will take. He feeds off of the negative energy of the crowd. Keith Williams: From Sin City... Weighing in at 246 pounds... Representing NEW... "The Myth Killer" HUNTER VALENTYNE! The man walks calmly to the ring with a look of apathy on his face as he walks past people wanting him dead as if they are a mere nuisance. He slides into the ring under the bottom rope and looks at the people as he smiles at their displeasure only making them boo his ass some more. He stands up and walks to the second rope and stands on it to get closer to the negativity. Mac Raines: Boy, these people sure don't like him. Frank Archer: Hunter Valentyne may be the most hated man in NEW. Mac Raines: I can see why. Looks like a toolbag to me. DING DING!! Baldwin and Stone start out, and once locked up, Baldwin takes Stone down with a very quick armdrag. Stone complains that Baldwin pulled his hair. The ref asks Baldwin if he committed the crime, and Baldwin just rolls his eyes. Mac Raines: What is this? 1987? No one complains of a hair pull anymore? Who's booking this crap? The two tie up again, and this time, Baldwin DOES use the hair to take down Stone. When Stone complains, Baldwin is holding a strand of his hair, smiling. The ref, dimwitted as he is, asks Baldwin if he pulled the hair and Baldwin can't help but laugh. Frank Archer: No denying that one. Mac Raines: I'd still argue. I didn't do it! Thaddeus Stone is enraged and comes at Baldwin, who stops him cold with a boot to the gut. Baldwin is in control early on, taking Stone down with a spinning side slam. Baldwin goes for a quick pin, but Stone easily kicks out. When Baldwin brings Stone to his feet, Stone ends Baldwin's momentum with a thumb to the eye. As Baldwin steps back to recover, Stone drags him over to his corner with a front facelock, then tags in Valentyne. As Hunter comes in, he takes a free shot at the exposed back of Baldwin. Hunter then takes him down with snap suplex. Frank Archer: So far, so good for the NEW team. Mac Raines: But for how long? Hunter Valentyne wants nothing to do with Stone. Valentyne works over Baldwin some more, before tagging back in Thaddeus Stone. They whip Baldwin to the ropes and hit a double back elbow. Thaddeus Stone goes for a high five, but Valentyne just shakes his head and exits the ring. Mac Raines: Hah! What a goob! Stone starts working on Baldwin, but Ace finally gets some offense of his own, by reversing a military press slam, and landing on his feet, behind Stone before dropping him with a Reverse DDT. He quickly tags in the fresh Castellanos. Mac Raines: And here is the UWL World Heavyweight Champion! Frank Archer: Alex Castellanos is the man, despite his struggles in ACE. Castellanos comes in and coldly stomps on Stone. He allows Stone to get to his feet, just to irish whip him to the ropes, and drop him with a backdrop that sends Thaddeus sky high into the lights. Hunter Valentyne looks on, none too pleased with his partner. Frank Archer: How can Thaddeus Stone focus on the match, when his partner is mentally attacking him? Mac Raines: 'Mentally attacking?' What is that? Suck it up ya little girl. This is wrestling! Castellanos simply stomps on the legs of Stone, no doubt setting him up for the Welsh Cloverleaf. He then climbs to the middle rope and leaps off, landing feet first onto the shin of Thaddeus Stone. Stone rolls around, frantically. Alex Castellanos whips him to the ropes, but ducks too early. Stone is able to kick him in the face/chest. Valentyne is begging to be tagged in, but Stone ignores him. He turns and hits the ropes again, only to be spun around with a powerslam. Castellanos pins... One... Two... Kickout... Frank Archer: Thaddeus Stone had a chance to tag in Valentyne, but tried to tough it out. Mac Raines: Wrong decision. Castellanos makes a quick tag to Baldwin, who comes in and grabs the arm of Stone. He shoves him away, but keeps a hold of the arm, pulling him back towards him. Baldwin hits a wicked clothesline that sends Thaddeus Stone up and over before hitting the mat. Mac Raines: HAH! He just turned him inside out! Frank Archer: That was down right vicious. Baldwin doesn't pin. Instead, he tags back in the World Champion, who comes in and continues his assault on the leg with a Leg DDT. He then locks Stone into a half crab, torquing the knee. Frank Archer: Alex Castellanos may want to simply destroy the leg of Thaddeus Stone. Thaddeus Stone reaches the ropes, but is quickly dropped with a Northern Lights Suplex. Alex pins, but the count is interrupted by Hunter Valentyne, who then stands over Stone berating him. Mac Raines: You know, I kinda like Valentyne now. Castellanos shrugs off Valentyne, knowing it's only a matter of time. Alex sets Stone up, sitting backwards on the turnbuckle and locks his foot into the turnbuckle for a tree of woe. Castellanos takes a few steps back, then charges at Stone. Thaddeus Stone impresses the crowd by doing a sit up, upside down, and Castellanos baseball slide attempt does nothing but has him go groin first into the steel post. Stone follows up with a DDT that drops Castellanos out cold. Frank Archer: Thaddeus Stone with a miraculous counter and now he NEEDS to make the tag. Mac Raines: Hunter Valentyne isn't even cheering him on. He's demanding he tags him in. Stone finally reaches Valentyne and tags him in. Valentyne charges in and as Castellanos is getting up, The Myth Killer hits a running blockbuster. He quickly pins... One... Two... Th-Kickout! Frank Archer: The champ is reeling here. Valentyne wastes no time going back on the offensive by mounting Castellanos and punching him until the referee demands he gets off. Valentyne nearly gets DQ'ed before getting off. He then drops Castellanos with a vertical suplex and pins again, but again, Alex kicks out. He brings the UWL Champion to his feet, but Castellanos slows him down with a thumb to the eye and quickly tags in Ace Baldwin. Ace comes in, but Valentyne pokes HIM in the eye, then drops him with a spinning neckbreaker. Mac Raines: Wow! Hunter Valentyne is on fire! Damn Thaddeus should have tagged him in sooner! Hunter Valentyne exits to the apron and climbs the top rope. He leaps off and connects with Rick Over Reward (spinning back elbow). He pins Baldwin! One... Two... Thr-Kickout! Frank Archer: That was almost three! Hunter brings Ace to his feet and irish whips him. But Ace reverses and ends the rally with a Sky-High Powerbomb. He pins, but Valentyne kicks out. With his rally over, Valentyne pulls himself up as Baldwin walks over to him. Ace clubs him over the back, then whips him to the ropes again. That's when it gets interesting. Thaddeus Stone tags himself in with a blind tag. Valentyne stops dead in his tracks and looks at Stone, who is already climbing the top rope and connects with a flying clothesline. Mac Raines: Uh oh... Why did he do that? Stone and Valentyne begin arguing, and even butt heads, screaming at each other. Just like that, leaving his partner behind, Valentyne exits the ring and begins walking down the aisleway. Frank Archer: What is he doing? He's leaving? Mac Raines: He's leaving the idiot to fight by himself. Serves him right. Stone looks on in shock, with his arms out as if to say 'what the hell?'. Meanwhile, Ace Baldwin is up. When Stone turns his attention back to the ring, he is dropped with a spinning side slam. Baldwin quickly tags in Castellanos, who is all smiles. Frank Archer: Thaddeus Stone has been left alone to fight two men! How is that fair!?! For what seems like a lifetime, Baldwin and Castellanos dismantle Stone, using frequent tags to legally double team him. Castellanos hits a Starlight Suplex (Fisherman) and pins, but Thaddeus Stone kicks out! Frank Archer: He's not going down quietly. Mac Raines: No, but this may be his last match if he doesn't just stay down. Castellanos climbs the middle rope, perhaps for another Shin Splint, but when he leaps off, Stone gets a boot up and the champion eats it. Castellanos drops to the mat as his partner extends his hand for a tag. Frank Archer: Thaddues Stone with a counter! Mac Raines: But he has no one to tag! That is indeed the case. Castellanos tags in Baldwin, but Stone is left alone. Ace Baldwin stalks Stone, but is stunned when Stone drops him with a superkick. The crowd seems to actually be getting behind Stone as he refuses to stay down. Baldwin tags Castellanos back in, but Stone explodes, taking Castellanos down and goes to town with rights and lefts. Castellanos shoves Stone off of him, but Stone then picks Alex up into a firemans carry, just to drop him with an ace crusher! He pins! One... Two... Th-Kickout! Frank Archer: That was almost it! Mac Raines: Oh come on. Quit dicking around Castellanos! Stone climbs the turnbuckle and connects a diving cross body. A gutwrench pin gets a second near fall! He goes for a german suplex, but Castellanos counters, spins around, and drops Stone with a reverse DDT. With the rally over, Castellanos looks for his partner, who is still down on the floor, then at Sarah, who has remained ringside this entire time. Alex picks Stone up and irish whips him. Stone counters, but Sarah didn't know that. She accidentally reaches in and trips Castellanos. Mac Raines: What?! Frank Archer: Sarah felt like Castellanos needed help. Mac Raines: Well that's not helping! That dumb broad! Castellanos falls face first, gets up and begins yelling at Sarah, who has no idea what she did. From behind, Stone hits Castellanos with a dropkick to the back. He has his opponent stunned, and is ready to put him away. Frank Archer: He's going for the "Natural Process" Pumphandle Piledriver! Stone sets Alex up and lifts him up showing power. Ace Baldwin hops onto the apron and reaches in, grabbing Alex's feet, pulling him off of Stone's shoulder. That's all Alex needed. He lands on his feet and hits the Golden Arrow Superkick. Castellanos knows he can pin right here, but as if it is to send a message, he locks Thaddeus Stone into the Welsh Cloverleaf. Frank Archer: Welsh Cloverleaf! Just to inflict more punishment. After a valiant effort, Thaddeus Stone taps out and the bell sounds. Alex Castellanos takes him time releasing the hold, but does so eventually. "King of the World" plays once more as Baldwin joins him in the ring. Keith Williams: Here are your winner... ACE BALDWIN and the UWL World Heavyweight Champion... ALEX CASTELLANOS!!! Castellanos ignores all of this and looks right at Sarah and begins yelling at her. She gets in the ring, pleading her case, but Alex has heard enough. He grabs his gold and leaves the ring, with Baldwin right behind him. Frank Archer: What an interesting turn of events. Mac Raines: Yeah, despite her uselessness, Alex Castellanos overcame and proved why he is the best. Frank Archer: That's one way to view it. The final shot is of Sarah chasing Alex down the aisleway. ------------------------------------- The scene cuts to one of the corridors in the backstage area, we can see UWL referees and staff members walking in either direction, standing next to the wall is a man familiar to those who watched OCW prior to its takeover and eventual closure. Ethan Brody stands with his back pressed against the wall, wearing a smart purple dress shirt with the top button undone, a cigar pocking out of his breast pocket as he looks at the camera. Ethan Brody: I think it’s safe to assume that not many people are disappointed at the closure of Outlaw Championship Wrestling. I for one am not as my time in charge was spoilt by the supposed owner and the way my co-director was removed from office. OCW is dead and I have drunk to that.. But I was left with a hole. Seeing the likes of Scott DiBiase, Jonny Cedrone, DAMAGE, Travis Dane, Vincent Nash and Carmine Reaper out of work wasn’t something I felt comfortable with. He pulls out a card from his trouser pocket and shows it to the camera. Ethan Brody: This is the card given to me by the UWL owner and promoter, Kevin Hill, not many people supported me during my time with that tainted promotion but he did. So I gave him a call and had long discussions with him. He mentioned an opportunity for me that I couldn’t say no too, the chance to invest in a company to bring back the ideals of Wrestling’s traditions, bring the UWL a promotion that could very well be the backbone of the league in the near future. That wetted an appetite and I said yes. Ethan puts the card back into his pocket. He slowly walks along the corridor a few paces until he reaches a covered up poster, a black cloth covering it as Ethan stops, standing to one side of this covered up poster with a broad smile on his face. Ethan Brody: What better way to offer the likes of my fallen OCW guys than to offer them salvation, to a promotion that will give them a platform to perform at the highest calibre, wrestling around the District of Columbia week in and week out to elevate wrestling tradition with entertaining matches and more! Sure there are other promotions out there, many of them are being represented here tonight at Retribution, but I truly believe that this is going to be the start of something spectacular. Ethan grabs the edge of the black cloth and pulls it off revealing the poster behind. ![]() Ethan Brody: Ladies and Gentleman I give you Capital City Wrestling! It’s show will be called Epic Encounters and we’re exclusive to Washington DC… for now. I can announce that VWF hall of famer Jonny Cedrone has signed for CCW, Awesome Wrestling Entertainments and New Gen Sports Entertainment’s beer drinking champion KEG will appear for us. Travis Dane, Damage and a collective group known as World Elite have signed too. He pulls out the cigar from his pocket and places it in his mouth. Ethan Brody: I am inviting all of the UWL to visit our website to see what we’ve got in place so far, we’ll be announcing our first show very soon, if you want to be a part of writing some very special history then please get in touch with our talent relations officer and hopefully see you soon in a CCW ring! He pulls out a metal flip clipper lighter and sparks it up, moving the flame to the tip of the cigar, Ethan puffs out some smoke as he walks away from the poster leaving the cameraman to zoom in on the CCW Epic Encounters poster before the scene switches. ------------------------------------- ![]() (OOC Note - Sorry about the misspelling Veronica... Forgot to fix that!) Keith Williams: The following contest is a Six-Woman Tag Team Match! Holla Back Girl plays in the arena, Nicki Vaughn appears on the stage. she places her hand on her forehead and scans the crowd. She walks towards the ring she slaps hands with the fans, then walks up the ring steps, she slowly steps through the ropes. She climbs the ropes and claps her hands. Keith Williams: Introducing team number one... First, from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada... Representing WMW... NIKKI VAUGHN! The stage is covered in smoke, Peep Show by Droch Fhoula plays in the arena, and Helena emerges from the smoke. Keith Williams: And her partner... She is HELENA JECKEL!!! Helena walks the ring apron then hangs upside on the ropes, she enters the ring and sits on the top rope. Mac Raines: Whoa... I like her. Frank Archer: I'm sure you do. "Hideaway" by Kiesza plays and Elliott Bennis appears at the entrance way. All smiles, she walks down towards the ring, high fiving all the nearby fans. Keith Williams: From Atlanta, Georgia... She represents WMW, ELLIOTT BENNIS! As she slides into the ring, Bennis reaches the ropes and stands on the bottom rope, posing for her fans. Frank Archer: Bennis is a newcomer, just debuting in WMW last week. Mac Raines: She's in for a rude awakening tonight. Frank Archer: Clever pun there. Mac Raines: Huh? Keith Williams: And their opponents... The lights dim the Pacific Rim theme cues up over the speaker system as Anne steps from behind the curtain wearing a flowing sequined robe. A few plumes of smoke erupt from neat the top of the aisle. She pauses for a moment rolling her knuckles. A deathly serious look in her eyes as she slowly walks down to the ringside. Maybe giving a subtle nod to a fan along the way or a knowing grin but showing very little emotion.] Keith Williams: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, FROM QUEENS, NEW YORK, STANDING IN AT FIVE FEET SIX INCHES AND WEIGHING IN AT ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY POUNDS... "THE ATHEIST'' ANNE BRANDEIS! She steps into the ring before throwing her robe off revealing her black leotard style gear underneath, a red scarlet letter "A" inscribed over her chest.. Keith Williams: And her partner... An undulating electro chord swells into orchestral strings as the crowd is smothered beneath violet mood lighting, pierced by the glare of a wall of pure white illumination spilling from the stage. Human-sized shapes move in front of it, but their actions are lost to the blinding brilliance. As the lyrics to 'The World Is Not Enough' kick in, though, the lights dial down a little and we can make out two forms, one woman and one man, striding down the ramp. Keith Williams Making her way to the ring now, accompanied by Jun Takada...from her private residence near Barbados, weighing in at 134 pounds...the Mastermind, VERONICAAAA, VAAAA-LIANT! And right on cue, said twosome steps into view. Veronica walks out front, a confident sway to her hips and arms held out at shoulder height with palms turned upturned, accepting praise that isn't forthcoming. Her shoulder-length blonde hair is nearly as reflective as the perfectly straight teeth shown by her discomforting shark-like smile. Her scaleskin-pattern boots are laced all the way up to her mid-thigh, and she has a formal black blazer buttoned up over her torso. Behind her, Takada lurks just far enough away to avoid the spotlight, clad in a typically immaculate 3-piece suit and holding a tablet computer under one arm. 'I know when to talk, and I know when to touch... No-one ever died from wanting too much...' As they reach the ringside area, Veronica stops and clasps her hands behind her back, letting Takada sweep past her. He approaches a nearby security guard and, gripping the man by his shirt, drags him over to the ring skirting and forces him down to his hands and knees. Veronica then approaches and, taking one of Takada's hands for balance, digs her heel into the guard's back and uses him as a human step to ascend to the apron. There she unbuttons and casts off her blazer, revealing an intricate multi-buckled bathing suit variation and leather opera gloves, leaving Takada to catch the blazer and neatly fold it over his arm. 'The world is not enough! But it is such a perfect place, To start, my love... And if you're strong enough, Together we can take the world apart, my love...' Finally stepping into the ring proper, Veronica idly turns a full rotation, eyes shut blissfully, before stopping in the center of the mat and stooping into a theatrical bow - just as two large violet banners unfurl from the ceiling, each bearing a double-V insignia with a razor edge. They remain there as Veronica straightens, sweeps her hair back, and lounges into one of the corners, only beginning to roll themselves up when her music finally fades and Takada takes up his position close - but not too close - to his boss' chosen corner. Mac Raines: There is a lot of talent in the ring right now. The lights cut off while the first crash of "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" by Lorde begins to play. Dim lights turn on giving an eerie feel. The crowd gives a mixed reactions of cheers and jeers while The Harlequin emerges. There is the tiniest tilt of her head while she examines the audience before slowly making her way down towards the ring. Her eyes are locked on the ring as Harlequin chuckles. A wide, strange, grin flashes on the woman face then suddenly she explodes into laughter. Keith Williams: From Arkham Asylum, closing out the GPW Team... She is... THE HARLEQUIN! The female clown removes the long arm gloves tossing them aside. In a small burst she jumps onto the apron facing towards the ramp before she uses skin the cat to enter into the ring. Harlequin wanders back into the corner still chuckling to herself. Frank Archer: How on Earth are these women going to get a long? Harlequin's life has been a living hell thanks to Valiant and the Head Office. Brandeis JUST returned. How rusty will she be? Mac Raines: Quit asking questions. This match is getting started! DING DING!! Nicki Vaughn and Valiant start the match. The two tie up, and Vaughn shocks Valiant by taking her down with a big shove. Vaughns teammates applaud her while The Harlequin is seen smiling at her partner. Valiant sees this and the two are arguing. Frank Archer: Here we go. This lasted all of five seconds. After the bickering, Valiant settles down and takes control of the contest with a knee to the midsection of Vaughn. After rocking her with forearm shots, she drops Vaughn with a swinging neckbreaker. Mac Raines: Valiant is a tremendous talent. Distraction can only do so much. Valiant brings Vaughn to her feet and whips her to the ropes. Valiant ducks a tad too early and Vaughn capitalizes with a facebuster, followed by a dropkick. Vaughn quickly pins, but gets a nearfall. She grabs Veronica by the wrist and tags in Helena Jeckel. Helena comes in and connects a well placed boot to the gut of Valiant. Helena follows up with a headbutt that stuns Valiant and drops her to the mat. When Helena seems to be control, Valiant rakes the eyes out of desperation, retreating to her corner and tags in Brandeis. Frank Archer: And here is Anne Brandeis. She's just returned to GPW. Mac Raines: I'm more curious how Harlequin and Valiant are going to stand on the apron together. Brandeis steps into the ring, none to pleased with Valiant. She turns her attention to Helena Jeckel and ties up with her. She applies an armlock that has Helena looking for an escape. Helena, to her credit, fires a right hand at her, freeing herself. When she goes to kick Brandeis, Anne catches the ankle, then takes her down with a Dragonscrew Legwhip. Mac Raines: They can destroy a knee. Brandeis is in complete control. She hits a vertical suplex, followed by a german suplex. She pins Helena, but Vaughn is in to break it up. As Vaughn retreats back to her corner, Brandeis toys with Helena, kicking her as she tries to get up. Brandeis brings Helena to her feet and brings her to her corner to tag in Harlequin. Harlequin comes into the ring to a huge roar from the crowd. Frank Archer: There's not many wrestlers in the UWL more popular than Harlequin. Mac Raines: No doubt about it. Harlequin comes in and clotheslines Helena Jeckel. Helena bounces up and Harlequin hits another clothesline. Helena is dazed as she gets to her feet one more time. Harlequin goes for a third, but Helena ducks. Helena counters with a backdrop. Harlequin gets to her feet but is dropped with Helena's patented sitout facebuster. She pins... One... Two... Kickout... Mac Raines: Wow Helena almost had the victory there. She droped Harlequin right on that pretty face! Helena tags in Elliott Bennis, who quickly comes in and starts kicking Harlequin. Bennis lifts Harlequin up before dropping her with a snapmare via the hair. A second one has Harlequin's hair flying through the air. Elliott Bennis is doing great for a rookie, but finally makes a mistake when she goes for a missle dropkick but misses. Harlequin drops her with a hurricanrana. Harlequin tags in Brandeis, who comes in and brings Bennis to the center of the ring and drops her with a backbreaker. Pin... One... Two... Kickout... Frank Archer: Bennis is tough. Gotta give her that much. Brandeis allows Bennis to stand up, but then locks in an abdominal stretch. The screams of Bennis lets everyone in the state of Oregon know she's in A LOT of pain. Mac Raines: She may rip her in half Frankie! Brandeis realizes that Bennis isn't going to submit, and lets go, only to drop her with a yakuza kick, knocking Bennis out cold. She makes the pin, but Helena breaks up the attempt. She cheers on Bennis as she retreats to the corner. Brandeis shrugs off Helena. Veronica Valiant is yelling at Brandeis to tag her in, and perhaps just to shut her up, Brandeis obliges. Valiant comes in and decks Bennis with a Bionic Elbow. She pins. One... Two... Thr-Kickout! Mac Raines: Still fighting! I dig it. She needs a tag immediately though. Valiant remains in control, hitting Bennis with everything she has. But Bennis finds the slightest opportunity. She counters a chinlock into a jawbreaker. Valiant stumbles back, shaking it off. Bennis is crawling to her corner as the crowd gets behind her. Harlequin reaches in and tags herself in, slapping Valiant across the back. As Harlequin gets in, Bennis makes the tag to Vaughn! The crowd cheers as Vaughn climbs into the ring. Vaughn and Harlequin meet in the center of the ring and Vaughn hits a hiptoss. Frank Archer: Here we go! They're battling in the center of the ring! Mac Raines: Look at Valiant! She is not happy! Vaughn takes Harlequin down with a scoop slam, then drops her again with a running knee lift. Vaughn looks to end the match with the Vaughn Legacy, but Harlequin counters and connects with a spinning wheel kick. Harlequin pins, but Helena breaks it up. Anne Brandeis comes in and takes Helena to the outside. The two begin brawling on the floor. Mac Raines: It's breaking down! Vaughn lies on her stomach. Harlequin takes the opportunity and locks on a camel clutch. Vaughn looks to be near tapping out, but manages to free her arms and fight to her feet, with Harlequin on her back. Vaughn backpeddles to her corner, and Elliott Bennis tags herself in. Vaughn falls to the mat, and allows Bennis to take over. Bennis is in and Harlequin applies a side headlock. Bennis sends her shooting off the ropes, and Vaughn catcher her with a knee to the back. Harlequin retaliates with a right hand, but is wounded. Bennis connects a second knee to the back, then sends Harlequin shooting off the ropes. Brandeis makes the blind tag. Harlequin ducks Bennis' right hand, then flies between the ropes, crashing onto Nicki Vaughn outside the ring. Mac Raines: Harlequin is everywhere! Frank Archer: But Anne Brandeis is the legal woman. Bennis is caught off guard and Brandeis knocks her out cold with a Power Running Lariat! Anne Brandeis is about to make the pin, when Veronica Valiant tags herself in with a hard slap across the head that stuns Anne. Valiant then drops to the floor, tripping Brandeis and pulling her through the ropes and drops her on the floor. Frank Archer: What was that?! Valiant slides into the ring and pins Bennis. One... Two... Three!!! Frank Archer: Are you kidding me? Mac Raines: What a smart wrestler! "The World is Not Enough" plays once again as Valiant bolts out of the ring as Harlequin and Brandeis get into the ring to confront her. Valiant has her arms raised high as she celebrates the victory alone, as she walks to the back. Harlequin and Brandeis stare her down, clearly upset with her. ------------------------------------- The scene opens backstage to show KEG standing there, watching a replay of the previous UWL Pay Per View. He shakes his head as he now smirks, naturally, with a beer in his hand. KEG: UWL! It's ya old buddy KEG live and in color. This drunken bastard is here to let everyone know that I'm always looking for a fight. I've been watching these fools around here get to waltz right in and get a title match. Fuckin' Carlos Cruz? Didn't that jerkass award himself a title or his brother Ramon? Dumb! Then ya got people like Jack Waters, who ain't done shit around here but take up space. That's why I'm tellin' everyone that they're on notice. KEG glares right at the camera, pointing at it with one finger while the others clutch on the beer bottle. KEG: Everybody needs ta keep an eye out on my tag match tonight. They're gonna see me take that midget and use him like a bat. This Alcoholic Asshole is gonna pick him up and swing him at those Jeckels like I'm playin' Whack-A-Mole. That's the kinda shit I do, and that's the kinda shit that I'll be doing to all of the UWL Champions. You're all on notice, and hell, once I win the UWL Tag Titles, then I'll focus my attention over at the others, especially the Junior Heavyweight Champion and whatever jobber wins the Western States Championship. KEG now stops talking and takes a long drink of his beer, draining the entire thing, before tossing it behind him. It shatters against the wall and sends shards of glass flying everywhere. KEG: So keep yer eyes open punks, because it's no more Mr. Nice Guy for The Alcoholyte. I'm out for blood, and I want more than some Back Alley Championship around my waist. KEG now stomps past the camera and out of the backstage area as the scene fades back to ringside. Frank Archer: What's the Back Alley Championship? Mac Raines: No idea. He's a drunken fool! ------------------------------------- ![]() The beats of “You‘re Going Down“ starts to trickle out of the sound system. The lights start to dim around the stage as a little smoke trails across it and Corey Bull walks out with his loggers chain in hand.The crowd erupts with cheers for the villainous hero. Keith Williams: The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, from the Great Northwoods... Weighing in at 385 pounds... Representing NAW... "The Hatebringer" COREY BULL! Define your meaning of war To me it’s what we do when we’re bored I feel the heat comin’ off of the black top And it makes me want it more Because I’m hyped and out of control It it’s a fight, I’m ready to go I wouldn’t put my money on the other guy If you know what I know that I know Bull walks to the ring with his eyes focused on the square circle. The fans cheer on the monster as he climbs up and into the ring. He stands in the center and raises his fist with the chain into the air Its been a long time coming And the table’s turned around ‘Cause one of us is going One of us is going down I’m not running It’s a little different now ‘Cause one of us is going One of us is going down Explosions go off on the ramp in the shape of a mushroom cloud as Bull looks out over the crowd and the lights come up. The chain is dumped over the side and he takes off the prison shirt and tosses it into the crowd, getting ready for a fight. Mac Raines: If I ever run into Corey Bull in an alley somewhere, he wouldn't touch me. Frank Archer: Why's that? Mac Raines: Because I'd shit myself so quickly, he'd leave in disgust. Frank Archer: ... Okay... "South of Heaven" by Slayer starts up as the lights begin to dim. As the guitar riff continues, a white spotlight shines on the entrance way. As the drums pick up, Adam Gordon steps out from behind the curtain. As Gordon begins making his way to the ring... WHACK! Mac Raines: What the?!?! From behind, a man jumped Adam Gordon, knocking him out with one shot to the back of the head. Frank Archer: My God! That's Wyatt Bull... Mac Raines: Bull? As in... Frank Archer: Corey's younger brother. Mac Raines: My God, what were these guys fed as kids? They're huge. Wyatt Bull has driven Adam Gordon into the guardrail, while Corey stands in the ring watching. Wyatt then lifts Gordon up and carries him to the ring. He walks up the steps and dumps Gordon into the ring. Frank Archer: What is he doing here? We have a match scheduled! Mac Raines: Yeah, I don't think they care. And I don't think Gordon is gonna put up much of a fight at this point. Wyatt joins his brother, Corey in the ring. Both men look down at their victim, smiling. Wyatt picks Adam up and shoves him to Corey, who then drops him with Downward Spiral (Black Hole Slam). The impact makes the ring bounce. Mac Raines: Yeah, he's dead. The brothers are not done. Corey lifts Gordon up on his shoulder, like Farrooq's Dominator. Wyatt Bull hits the ropes, and as Corey slams Gordon down, Wyatt hits him with a cutter. This is called the Bulldozer (MCMG Thunder Express). Mac Raines: Jesus! Frank Archer: Well, I guess you can call this a statement by the Apex Predators. Mac Raines: Rumors are swirling that the UWL will be crowning World Tag Team Champions soon. So Apex Predators just let everyone know, those titles are theirs. And I agree. Frank Archer: As do I. The Apex Predators leave the ring as "Bullet With a Name On It" plays. The crowd is in shock as UWL Officials and EMTs check on Adam Gordon. Frank Archer: Well folks, moving forward. That was some sick stuff, but pales in comparison to our next match. The final chapter. Jack Waters. Tony Miranda. Last Man Standing. Let's see how we got here. ------------------------------------- Edited by KevinHill, Mar 14 2015, 10:19 PM.

------------------------------------- It all started on a small island on the Texas shore... Galveston Island Wrestling... Home to some of the hottest wrestling in 2014, and home to a rivalry fueled by nothing more than hatred. Jack Waters & Tony Miranda October 30th, 2014
Buried... Alive... We thought we'd never see Tony Miranda again... But then... January 24th, 2015
The Hunter Has Returned... And he has one thing on his mind... RETRIBUTION The final chapter to this blood feud is tonight. Only one man will be left standing... May God have mercy on their souls... ------------------------------------- ![]() Keith Williams: Ladies and gentlemen... The following match is a LAST MAN STANDING MATCH!!! A huge roar from the crowd lets you know how big this is. Keith Williams: The first man to keep his opponent down for the count of ten, will be the last man standing, and declared the winner... Mac Raines: Yeah, no shit. Keith Williams: Introducing first... Hailing from Maine... Weighing in at 209 pounds... JACK WATERS! "The Violence" starts playing, but Beatrix and Jack only appear when the voices saying "A Violent Emotion" stop and "A Quiet Anthem" properly starts, they make their way in the ring, wearing both Majora's Masks, when Jack finally reaches the ring he gives the mask and jacket to Beatrix and he sits on the ring post. Keith Williams: And his opponent... A huge roar is heard from the Portland crowd as "The Edge Of Paradise" by Kamelot plays. After a few moments, Tony Miranda appears at the entrance way. A cold, dead look is all he shows as he calmly walks down the aisle. Keith Williams: From Chicago Illinois... Weighing in at 215 pounds... TONY MIRANDA! Frank Archer: This is the first time we've seen Tony Miranda since he was buried alive back in October at GIW On Hallowed Grounds. Mac Raines: He looks fit for a zombie. Frank Archer: I don't think now is the time for jokes partner. Tony continues his calm walk to the ring, then stops, looking at Jack Waters, who despite his attempts not to, does look a bit scared. Who wouldn't be? At that moment, Tony sprints and slides into the ring. Before Waters can react, Tony Miranda has him on the mat, mounting him and giving him right fists that have the intent to break his face. DING DING!! Frank Archer: Here we go! Mac Raines: Someone get him off him! Tony Miranda is relentless as Jack Waters is doing all he can just to get Tony off of him. Finally, he does, and rolls out of the ring. But Miranda is right on his heels. Tony catches Waters and shoves him shoulder first into the steel steps, sending them tipping over. Waters lies on the floor, holding his shoulder. Beatrix tries to come to his aid, but Miranda spots her and steps to her, causing her to run away in fear. Mac Raines: He's a mad man! Frank Archer: The man buried him alive Mac! Mac Raines: Only because he beat Miranda to it. Jack Waters is trying to escape at any cost. He is halfway over the guardrail, when Miranda sends him on over, and Waters falls at the feet of the fans. Miranda climbs over the guardrail and is right behind Waters, who is trying to crawl on his hands and knees through the walk ways. Miranda finds him though. Miranda grabs Waters by the hair, pulling him to his feet. Miranda is foaming at the mouth as he is face to face with Waters. A straight right fist sends Waters flying into the laps of the 8th row fans, knocking over some beverages in the process. Mac Raines: NO REFUNDS! Frank Archer: Tony Miranda will not allow Jack Waters an inch of space. Waters uses the scared fans as protection as he crawls over them to get away from Miranda. Now the men are in an open area in the crowd. Near the tunnels that fans come into the arena from. Tony grabs Waters by the hair, but Waters drives his knee into Miranda's gut, slowing him down. They are at a wall and Waters tries to irish whip Miranda into it, but Tony reverses and sends Waters into it. Jack's body smacks the wall hard and comes bouncing back. Tony sets him up for a suplex as everyone around them are standing. Frank Archer: That's concrete! Oh God! Mac Raines: But Jack is blocking it! Indeed he is. Jack Waters blocks the suplex and muscles Tony Miranda up and over with his own suplex. Miranda's body smacks the concrete floor below with a vicious 'splat' that his heard throughout the entire arena. Mac Raines: Uuggghh! That hurt me! Frank Archer: Jack Waters hurt himself doing that. He fell on concrete too. Mac Raines: Do what you gotta do to get away from this psycho. Jack Waters is up and points at Miranda while looking at the ref. The referee begins the first count... One... Two... Three... Four... Tony begins to stir... Five... Jack waters knows he's going to get up and stomps on Miranda, ending the count. Jack Waters grabs an empty chair near by, no doubt vacated by a fearful fan, and smacks Miranda across the back with it. Frank Archer: A chair to the back! Mac Raines: That's not gonna help his back out any. Frank Archer: Jack's strategy is simple. Destroy the back. The frame of Tony Miranda. Hard to stand up in ten seconds with a broken back. A second chair shot has Miranda writhing in pain. He doesn't back down though. When Waters goes for a third chair shot across the back, Miranda punches him in his exposed midsection. A second shot makes Waters drop the chair. Waters swings at Miranda, but Tony catches the arm, and traps it before giving him multiple headbutts. Tony Miranda finishes the combo with a belly to belly to the cold floor. Mac Raines: For the love of God! Stop slamming each other on the concrete you sick bastards! Miranda pulls himself to his feet as the referee begins counting out Jack Waters... One... Two... Three... Four... Five... Six... Se-Jack is to his knees. Miranda takes that as a sign that he wants more punishment. Miranda rocks him with stiff right hands as Waters begins retreating again. This time, he is heading back towards the ring. On his way towards ringside, he steals a fans cup of what we assume is soda. He tosses it into the eyes of Tony Miranda. It doesn't hurt, but it distracts him enough for Waters to take advantage with european uppercuts. He then leads Miranda to the guardrail and sends him crashing into them. Mac Raines: Hey, thanks for coming back towards the ring guys. The fans that paid a couple hundred dollars for their tickets appreciate it. Frank Archer: You're begging to get beat up tonight aren't you? Waters charges at Miranda, but Tony ducks and backdrops Waters over the barricade and to the padded floor, which was probably a nice change of pace. Tony grabs a chair before climbing up, showing his balance and standing atop the guardrail. He steps off and smashes Waters face with the steel chair, denting it. The chair folds around Jacks skull as he collapses to the floor. Frank Archer: Down right nasty. And the ref is counting once again. As the ref counts, Tony Miranda throws the chair into the ring, and digs a table out from under the ring. Perhaps Jack Waters should stay down. But he doesn't. Jack is up just as Miranda slides the table into the ring. Miranda smashes Waters face into the steel steps before Waters rolls into the ring. Miranda is in hot pursuit. Mac Raines: Hey! They're in the ring finally! Frank Archer: Tony Miranda has some evil intentions with that table, no doubt about it. Tony Miranda stomps on the head of Waters, then goes to set up the table. He sets it up at an angle in the corner, propt up by the turnbuckle. When he turns around, Waters is crawling around the ring. Tony grabs the steel chair, ready to continue the beating. Jack Waters springs to life and connects an enziguri that causes Miranda to drop the chair. As Miranda is down to a knee, Waters gets to his feet, then drops Miranda with a swinging neckbreaker. Frank Archer: Now would be the time to go for a pin... Mac Raines: Too bad that Jack actually has to stand up before he can even begin to try to win. The ref starts counting out both men, but both men are up before six. Jack has the first step on Miranda and rocks him with rights as Miranda is up against the ropes. He whips Miranda to the ropes. On the return, Waters simply takes Miranda off his feet with a scoop slam. Waters picks up the chair and clutches it before doing a standing moonsault, crushing Miranda with the chair AND himself. Mac Raines: Why!? Just why? Frank Archer: The hatred these two men have for each other is unfathomable. Before the ref can count Miranda out, Jack Waters is pulling him up by his hair. He takes Miranda over to the table, propt up in the corner and rams him head first into it multiple times. He let's go of Miranda, who slouches, resting on the table. Waters backs up, ready to send Miranda through it. When he charges, Miranda stops him with a back elbow. Tony rocks Waters with right hands. Then nearly decapitates Waters with a discus clothesline. Frank Archer: He folded Waters up like an accordian! Tony Miranda grabs the chair and unfolds it before sitting it down. He grabs Waters in a bulldog position, then runs and bulldogs Waters face first onto the chair. The referee immediately starts counting Waters out. Mac Raines: He's up to seven! But that's as far as the ref gets before Waters is up. Miranda attacks, then heads to the turnbuckle... Frank Archer: High flying isn't exactly Miranda's strong suit. Mac Raines: He just wants to hurt Jack at any cost. Before Miranda can do anything, Waters is up and connects a few shots to the gut, stopping Miranda at the top. Waters climbs the turnbuckle to meet Miranda, but Tony doesn't allow him to. Jack is standing on the middle turnbuckle when Miranda unleashes headbutts, then drives Jack's face into the top pad. Miranda leaps off with a sunset flip powerbomb, but Jack Waters is hanging on. Finally, Tony is able to pull him away, but Waters lands on his feet. He leapfrogs Tony, who is now a step slow. He turns around and is driven back by a spear from Jack Waters that sends him through the table in the corner! Mac Raines: Holy shit! Frank Archer: An unbelievable spear! And Tony Miranda is lying in a heap of broken table pieces. Mac Raines: Count him out ref. He's done. One... Two... Three... Four... Five... Six... Seven... Frank Archer: He's moving! Mac Raines: How!?! Eight... Nine... He's up! Mac Raines: No way! Tony Miranda is only up because he is leaning in the corner, but he's up and tells Jack Waters to bring more. Waters is stunned! But he charges at Miranda. Tony meets him with right hands. The right hands has Waters stepping backwards, and Tony keeps rocking him. Tony turns to hit the ropes, and on the return is taken off his feet with a textbook spinebuster by Jack Waters. He signals that it's over and tells the ref to count. One... Two... Three... Four... Five... Six... Tony begins getting up. Jack Waters staddles Miranda, yelling at him to stay down. Just like that, Tony locks Jack into a triangle choke. Jack squirms around, but Tony has it locked in and Waters is fading fast. Mac Raines: Oh my God! He's gonna choke him out! Frank Archer: A triangle choke has surprised everyone here. Mac Raines: He's gonna render him unconscious. That's one way to make sure he doesn't get up. Jack Waters is out cold. After several seconds, Tony Miranda finally lets go of the hold and Jack Waters lies motionless on the mat. Tony rolls away and reaches his feet as the referee begins counting Waters out. One... Two... Three... Four... Five... Six... Mac Raines: It's academic at this point. Seven... Frank Archer: Wait, what's this? Beatrix reaches into the ring with a bottle of water and splashes it onto Jack's face. This does a few things. First, it stops the ref's count, as he forces her out of the ring. It also makes Tony Miranda chase her out... But most importantly it wakes Waters up. He starts coming to life while Tony Miranda is distracted by Beatrix. Mac Raines: Genius! She is a genius! Tony Miranda has reached through the ropes, with half his body out of the ring, grabbing the hair of Beatrix. His grip is released, when from behind, Jack Waters grabs him by the waist, tugging him away from the ropes and driving him down with a german suplex! The ref counts as Jack Waters hops up and sits on the top turnbuckle to gather himself. Frank Archer: Tony Miranda landed awkwardly on his neck. This could do it. Mac Raines: He's getting up! Tony gets up and staggers towards the corner that Jack Waters is in. Waters doesn't worry. When the time is right, he leaps off and latches onto Miranda, then plants him with a tornado DDT. Mac Raines: That's it! Frank Archer: Jack Waters is yelling at the ref to count. The ref begins the count, and amazingly at FIVE Tony Miranda is coming to life. Jack Waters is getting angry as Tony fights to his feet. Tony is defenseless as he stands up. Jack Waters measures him... Mac Raines: Clothesline from Hell!! So long Tony Miranda. Frank Archer: This is getting uncomfortable to watch. Mac Raines: Well good news. It's over... One... Two... Three... Four... Five... Six... Frank Archer: I don't believe it. Mac Raines: What the hell? Frank Archer: He's trying to get up! Seven... "STAY DOWN DAMN IT!" Jack Waters is screaming at Tony Miranda. Even the fans aren't wanting Miranda to get up... Eight... Tony Miranda is on his knees, and Jack Waters has seen enough. He picks Tony Miranda up. Miranda doesn't even put up a fight as Jack Waters sets him up for Prophecy End (Cross Rhodes). Tongue extended, Jack Waters is about to put Tony Miranda out of his misery when... Darkness... Mac Raines: Hey what happened... Frank Archer: The lights are out in the Moda Center! Thunder can be heard. Mac Raines: Is it storming outside? Frank Archer: Not sure partner. We hope to get the lights back up as soon as possible. At that moment, a loud BOOM is heard and the lights are back on. Waters is still holding Miranda in position, but standing in front of him.... Mac Raines: That's The Shadow!!! Why is he out here? No one seems to know why exactly The Shadow is in the ring. Especially, Jack Waters, who drops Miranda and is looking at Shadow with a confused look. Frank Archer: I don't like this... After a few moments of being motionless, The Shadow strikes. He pounces on Jack Waters. The crowd looks on stunned as The Shadow pummels Jack Waters on the mat. Frank Archer: What is going on here!?! The Shadow brings Jack Waters up and sets him up for a powerbomb as Tony Miranda is getting to his feet. The Shadow lifts Jack Waters up and instead of powerbombing him, he throws him back first, violently into the corner. Jack Waters crumbles. Mac Raines: And his back is broke. Tony Miranda is up and looks at The Shadow. The crowd can't believe what they are seeing as Tony smirks and taps Shadow on the shoulder as if to say "well done". Tony Miranda exits the ring and brings another table into the ring while Shadow continues his assault. Frank Archer: I don't believe what I'm seeing. Tony Miranda sets up the table as Shadow chokeslams Waters for good measure. Tony tells The Shadow to bring Waters to his feet. Shadow does and allows Miranda to take Waters from behind and lift him up. He then sends Waters through the table with the Lightning Buster (Crash Thunder Buster) through the table. Frank Archer: It can't end like this. Mac Raines: Yeah, I think it can Frankie. It's no DQ. The ref looks on helplessly, as does Beatrix, as Tony Miranda demands the ref begins counting. As Shadow stands over the ref, he obliges... One... Two... Three... Four... Five... Six... Seven... Eight... Nine... TEN! DING DING DING!!! Keith Williams: Ladies and gentlemen here is your winner... TONYYY MIRRRAAAANDAAA!!! What usually follows that announcement is a cheer. But now, it's a chorus of boos and confusion. Tony Miranda and The Shadow tower over the lifeless Jack Waters as the ref calls for help. Frank Archer: I don't know why he did what he did, but Tony Miranda has a lot of explaining to do! Why this way Tony!? Mac Raines: Perhaps this is the new Tony Miranda. The old one died that night in October. "The Edge Of Paradise" by Kamelot is playing while EMT's arrive to check on Jack Waters. Tony and Shadow leave the ring, but not before threatening the EMTs and officials. Nearby fans let Tony hear it, but it's as if they don't exist to him. He coldly walks to the back with Shadow right behind him. ------------------------------------- The show fades to commercial as we see the logo for one of the newer promotions to join UWL. New Generation Sports Entertainment flashes across the screen and fades to black ![]() Voiceover: A growing company... gaining superstars day-by-day... cultivating its talent... not your same old professional wrestling... NGSE majority stakeholder and founder, Devlin Scott, appears on screen Devlin Scott: Thank you for your time, and thank you to UWL for giving us a few moments. We hope that you are enjoying Retribution. I want to make an effort to let you know who I am... why I am here... and who New Generation Sports Entertainment is. NGSE began in the early 2000s as a local training facility in the Akron, Ohio area by our own LC Jackson. LC and myself crossed paths, and with his experience and wrestling school, and with the financial backing of myself, NGSE was born. My thought was that many companies try to be emulate the 90's Era of wrestling of WWF/WCW/ECW, and it was time for the sport to evolve into something new, something different. I wanted to be on the leading edge of this change, this evolution of professional wrestlers. Instead of basing the promotion on a gimmick or a crutch, I wanted to show top notch talent to a regional fanbase that would appreciate it. My sites are obviously set on becoming one of the biggest players in the industry, but I know that is a goal and not something that I can instantly accomplish. We have been recruiting constantly and believe that we have a solid core of wrestlers that bring different backgrounds and skill sets to the table; some are recognizable national names, others are names that have been popular on the independent scene. We have some brand new talent just out of school, and we even have a dedicated amateur wrestler. We recruit from all walks of life and want to continue to grow as we do. We host Live Events in the Great Lakes region every two weeks, and on April 25th we are hosting our first supershow known as NGSE: HOMECOMING. This will be an important time in our history as we look to crown the first ever NGSE Heavyweight Champion. I ask you... what is stopping you from joining a company that is obviously ready for the future? A company that embraces its talent... big or small. Give us a look, why don't you? And again, thank you for your time! The camera fades as we see the contact information for New Generation Sports Entertainment http://ngse.freeforums.net/ On twitter - @NGSEwrestling ------------------------------------- “Money” by Pink Floyd blares out getting everyone’s attention, as out walks a tall man wearing a black Italian suit with red tie accompanied with gold Silver Fern cuff-links and matching tie clip makes his way to the ring. Wayne Everett: “Ladies and Gentleman, boys and girls welcome to RETRIBUTION!!!” The crowd in attendance unsure of who this well-dressed man is slowly but surely start cheering. Wayne: “Most of you won’t know who I am, but rest assured you will know who I am soon enough. Open your eyes and look to the south for the newest revelation to hit your shores. New Zealand’s very own UWL associated promotion ANZAC PRO WRESTLING!!!” “We may only have a small group of talented individuals, but great things come I small packages and come April the 25th at Least We Forget, the New Zealand Champion will be crowned in the Championship ROYAL! “ Wayne gives a signal backstage and suddenly from the rafters behind him a giant New Zealand flag is unfolded. “ANZAC stands for Brotherhood! Never forget the name Anzac Pro Wrestling! We are rising like a tsunami from the Deep South Pacific and before you realise it we will pound upon your shores washing all these other promotions aside in our wake. APW is the little brother you ALL look down to, the little brother that one day stands taller and stronger than all those before him. Names like Prii, Reagan, Gary Mac, Parkera, James Jackson, Jason Chang and Wadjethotep... As he speaks, images of the wrestlers he is naming pop up on the big screen behind him... Wayne: ...will fill your very thoughts and universally you will cheer and boo them but as the waves wash away your ACE’s, GPW’s, NSGW’s and all those others you will know all these names and you will hail them and you will HAIL ANZAC PRO WRESTLING!!!!! “Money” again hits the sound system as Wayne straightens his tie, adjusts his sleeves and leaves the ring to jeers and some stunned silence. ------------------------------------- ![]() ------------------------------------- ![]() The fans are sitting in silence for the next match as everyone here is ready to go for it. Just then the guitar rift to Flyleaf’s “I’m So Sick” kicks in as the fans are booing as the first participant for the “First Blood” Match comes out of the back. Keith Williams: The following contest is the First Blood match! The only way to win this match is to have your opponent shed the blood first. Introducing first, she is representing Girl Power Wrestling, from Coventry, United Kingdom, weighing in at 142 Pounds, she is “The Nihilist” Emma Carlisle!! Emma rolls in the ring as she has her stuffed penguin manager Melchoir as she whispers to him and lets out a scream that nearly scares that hell out of the people in the arena as Emma stands back up and hugs him tightly as she looks towards the back as the fans are sitting in silence. Just then the jingle to the opening of “Nightmare” by Avenged Sevenfold kicks in as the fans keep the booing going as the song kicks in. It then gets louder as lights are flashing. Kevin Williams: Her opponent, representing Awesome Championship Entertainment, from The Other Side of Sanity, weighing in at 120 pounds, Joanna Cyluna Thade! Joanna comes out from the back as she appears to wear the dress and rips it off while holding a doll in her hands. The doll looks like Emma as she rips off the head and tosses it in the arena. Emma’s still holding on to that penguin as Jenna rolls in the ring and lets out a scream as Emma doesn’t look to shabby about it. The bells then ring as we are underway with this match up. Emma and Joanna are staring down at each other as the fans are cheering for this match, but they don’t know who they want to cheer for here as the fans are looking at this. Both of them stare at each other as Emma takes a step back and screams in her face as the fans are booing at this. Joanna does seem to pleased as she stands there. Joanna then shrugs and hits Emma right in the face as the fans are cheering as she pounds down at her, but Emma begins to fight back as the both of them are throwing blows to each other as the fans are cheering. Emma seems to be getting the better of the both of them as she flings her by the blue hair right across the ring as the fans are giving a mixed reaction. Emma walks over to her and screams in her face saying that she made a bad mistake going against her. Joanna looks at her as Emma keeps on screaming in her face as she leans up and slaps her right across the face as the fans are looking on as Joanna grabs her and tosses her out of the ring. Emma falls right on the ground as the fans are cheering as Joanna looks down at her while Emma’s trying to get up. Joanna takes a step back on the apron and runs after her, but Emma catches her and slams her right on the ground. Emma gets to her feet as she goes right under the ring for a weapon because this match requires a weapon or fists to make the opponent busted open. Emma pulls out a wrench and gets back to her feet. With a crazed look in her eyes, Emma raises it up and sees Joanna come at her. Emma goes to swing at her head, but Joanna ducks out of the way and super kicks her right in the face as she falls on the ground with the wrench as well. Joanna takes a look at Emma on the ground and picks her back up to roll her back in the ring. Joanna goes under the ring and grabs something out of it, but the cameras on the other side see Emma pulling something out as the fans are wondering what is going on as Emma rolls back in the ring. Joanna gets back on her feet as she whips out a pocket knife as the fans are gasping at this as she is about to stab her, but Emma goes behind her back and pulls out the barbwire baseball bat that she looks at Jenna as Joanna takes a step back as Emma has a crazed look in her face while Joanna is holding the knife in her hand. Emma goes to raise it and goes for her head, but Jenna cuts a piece off and slams her right onto the ground as the fans are holding their mouths open. Joanna has Emma on the ground as she has her knife right towards her head while having a deranged look in her eyes. Emma uses her strength to push her hand away as she leans up and puts the barbwire bat in the face of Jenna. Jenna pushes back as the both of them get to the feet as the fans are wondering what is going on with this as they stare down each other. Joanna and Emma both yell at the top of their lungs and charge at one another as the both of them fall on the ground, but Joanna clips the barbwire first into her skin as blood comes out of it as the fans want to know if she won the match. The referee shakes her head no as Emma rolls out of the ring and says that she is going to end this match out right now a the fans are booing at her. Emma goes under and grabs out a barbwire table as she puts it in the ring and gets back in. Emma again lets out another scream as the fans are booing at her as she picks up Jenna and goes for her finisher, but Jenna refuses to launch her feet up as she flings Emma across the ring as the fans see her fly. Joanna say that she’s going to murder this bitch. She then grabs the table full of barbwire and puts it in the middle of the floor. Emma crawls on the ground as Jenna grabs at her and leans her back before kissing her forehead and goes for the ElectroShock Treatment as Emma goes into the barbwired table as the fans are wondering if this is it. Joanna rolls her over as she sees if Emma is bleeding. The referee checks at her, but she is not as the match keeps on going. Joanna holds her hair and grabs Emma while at it, but Emma picks up the barbwired bad from the ground as Joanna is about to go for the Straightjacket, which is her signature move, but Emma smashes the barbwired bat over head as the fans are cheering, but Joanna does the move on her as Emma crashes into the ground. The referee rings the bell as he sees Joanna bleeding as Emma just won this match as the fans are booing at this. Keith Williams; Here is your winner, GPW’s Emma Carlisle! ------------------------------------- We cut backstage to see UWL's unluckiest reporter, one Justin Kilpatrick, standing by, clearly waiting for an interview. The attractive but vertically challenged UWL anchorman gives the camera his most dazzling smile as he notices it trained on him, quickly setting the scene for viewers at home: Justin Kilpatrick: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome my guest at this time...the only UWL superstar I can look in the eye...the American Champion, Jason Orion! Suddenly emerging from stage right, belt around one shoulder and monkey perched on the other, a chuckling Jason Orion claps the interviewer in the back; Jason Orion: How you doing, J-man? Justin smiles back, affected – like pretty much everyone else – by the former Vanilla Midget's infectious energy: Justin; Doing just great, Jason. Thanks for joining me before your match. Jason: No problem at all, my friend. Bet it's a relief to be talking to someone your own size for once, huh? Justin cackles sheepishly: Justin: Heh, actually...yeah. Jason lets out a high-pitched peal of laughter, punching the interviewer in the arm playfully as he quips: Jason: Don't worry, that's as much as I'm gonna hurt you. Justin seems grateful for this, as he smiles at the Champion himself and begins: Justin: Now, Jason...big match tonight. The chance to make history and become UWL's longest reigning American Champion! Would you mind sharing your thoughts on that with viewers at home? Jason Orion does not respond right away. Instead, he scoots a little closer to the interviewer, placing a hand around his shoulders as the other points towards the horizon. He then asks a rather strange question: Jason: Do you hear that, Justin? Do you hear them? Justin Kilpatrick cocks his head forward, trying to listen for what Jason is clearly hearing, but before he has a chance to do so, the American Champion adds: Jason: Do you hear them? Because I do. All the fans out there. All the young kids, sitting there, with their eyes full of excitement, waiting for someone to cheer on, waiting to discover their new favorite wrestler. Not just my little Monkeys, either. Every single little boy and little girl out there. They won't all like the same people. Some will like Gaia Galanos. Some might like Tyson Turbo, or Anne Brandeis, or Flame Puppy, or the Jeckels or, heck, I'm sure some of them like me. A cheer is heard from off-camera at this point, as the fans manifest themselves. The Champion chuckles briefly before continuing: Jason: Not just the kids, either. The teenagers, the adults, the men, the women, the parents, the couples, the misfits, the popular kids...ALL of them, Justin! ...are waiting for someone to show them that yes, they matter; yes, their trust is appreciated; yes, there is such a thing as a happy ending, and sometimes in real life the good guy gets to win! And Justin...they're who I'm doing this for. Another brief pause, as Justin nods sagely, then Jason resumes his speech: Jason: When Jonny Cedrone goes out there in a few minutes to face me, he'll be going out there for himself, for his own glory. He wants to prove himself, and he thinks beating me is the way to do it. He thinks taking this belt from me will make people respect him and admire me, the same way they respect and admire me, or Gaia Galanos, or heck, even Alex Castellanos. And that's fine. Everybody has ambition. Everybody has hopes and dreams and goals. I have them. You have them. Everybody has them. But Justin, the thing is...achieving your goals is only one aspect of being a Champion. The look on Kilpatrick's face clearly asks Jason to elaborate on this, so he does: Jason: No, you see, Justin, the difference between me and Jonny is that when I go out there, I'll be doing it for myself, sure...but I'll be doing it, first and foremost, for them. For the fans. The Monkey Nation, and the ones who aren't in the Monkey Nation yet, but will hopefully be by the time I step down from the ring. I want to give those fans in particular someone to cheer for. Someone that can inspire them. A role model. Someone who can show them that no matter how crummy everyone around them is, nice guys don't always finish last. Not if they give it their best shot. And I'm confident that win or lose, I'm going to get those fans into the Monkey Nation. Know why, Justin? Justin clearly does not, so Jason explains: Jason: Because win or lose, I will have made history. As you said, if I manage to retain – and I'm not saying it's a sure thing, far from it! - but if I retain, I become the longest-reigning American Champion in United Wrestling League history. But what most people haven't realized yet is that, if I lose...I make UWL history too. Justin's brow furrows even further, only for his expression to lighten as Jason clarifies: Jason: Yes, that's right. I make history if I lose, too. Because then I'll be the first American Champion in UWL history to have lost the title, rather than vacated it. And that may not seem like much of an honor at all – who likes to be a bigger loser than everyone else, right? - but think about it, Justin. If I lose tonight, I didn't abandon this belt. I stood by it until the end, until someone came along who was able to take it away from me. I didn't walk out on it like everybody else did. Even great past Champions like Beck Ramsey, who went on to do great things...they forgot this belt. They tossed it to the side. There had been others in the past, there would be others in the future. The Champion is clearly getting agitated as he proceeds with his tirade: Jason: They don't know, Justin. They don't know what it's like to be at the bottom. To be the underdog. To have everyone try to step on you, or over you. I do. I know. I've been there all my life. This, the UWL American Championship? This is the first time I've ever been successful in wrestling. This is proof that anyone, even a poor kid from Indiana, can live their dreams. This belt is important to me, Justin. Me holding it is important to UWL.It's not something I'm ready to throw aside for a shot at something that I may not get, no matter how good it is. My Nana O'Ryan always said: 'a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.' I have a bird in my hand, Justin. And I'm gonna keep hold of it until someone proves good enough to deserve getting it. Not for me, but for them. For the fans. For UWL. Clearly impressed and a little flabbergasted at the intensity of Jason's words, Justin Kilpatrick is nonetheless able to somehow wrap up the interview: Justin: Thank you, Jason Orion, and good luck out there tonight! Jason – still red in the face but slowly recovering his laid-back, jokey demeanour – once again claps the interviewer in the shoulder: Jason: Thanks, J-man. Try not to get hurt by anybody! And with a shared wink and a laugh, the two short but sweet men part company, as the former Vanilla Midget prepares his history-making match. ------------------------------------- ![]() The stage is covered in smoke, Peep Show by Droch Fhoula plays in the arena, Helena emerges from the smoke, she poses then singles. Jack and Jake emerge from the smoke, they walk to the ring. Keith Williams: The following contest is a tag team match, scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, being accompanied to the ring by Helena, from Transylvania, at a combined weight of 499 pounds, representing NAW... THE JECKELS! Helena walks the ring apron then hangs upside on the ropes, she enters the ring and sits on the top rope, Jake and jack sit in the corner of the ring. Frank Archer: Helena and her team came up short earlier tonight, but she's back out here to support the Jeckels in this big tag match. Mac Raines: And I sure don't see anything wrong with that! Midget Saw by Alestorm hits over the PA system as Fizz now rides out on a tricycle. He rolls down the ring in his stylin' trike, before hopping off and standing at ringside. Keith Williams: And their opponents... First, from Fort Fizz, Ohio, weighing in at 135 pounds, representing ACE.... FIZZ! Mac Raines: Look at his little cankles! It's so gross! Frank Archer: Jesus Christ Mac! You can't say that! The Jeckels are daring Fizz to come into the ring. He smiles and points back behind him... Pretty Good at Drinking Beer plays over the PA system as KEG makes his way out. He staggers around the floor, trying to find the entrance ramp, but realizes there isn't one. Keith Williams: And his partner... From The Brewery, weighing in at 222 pounds, representing ACE... He. Is. KEG! KEG then walks over to the front row of seats and sits down, grabbing a fans beer and draining the entire bottle. The fans around him cheer and pose for the camera as the time keeper now motions at KEG to get in the ring. In his inebriated state, KEG thought he was there to watch a match, not participate in one. But with Fizz's help he finally rolls into the ring and pulls himself up with the ropes assistance as the Jeckels immediately jump him and Fizz. DING DING!! Frank Archer: The Jeckels are jumping Fizz and KEG before they can even get fully into the ring! Mac Raines: The ref needs to get control! Jack Jeckel stomps on Fizz in the corner, as Jake hammers on KEG as he tries to get to his feet. Jake is relentless, until KEG spits out the last sip of beer he had and blinds him. KEG quickly drops him with a DDT as Jake Jeckel slides out of the ring. Fizz bites the finger os Jack, freeing himself. He then bites Jack Jeckel on the backside before KEG clotheslines him over the top rope and to the floor with his brother. Mac Raines: He bit him on the ass!?! I think I'm gonna vomit! Frank Archer: The Jeckels tried a Pearl Harbob job, but Fizz and KEG clear house! And listen to this crowd! Mac Raines: These are two fan favorites if there ever was one. After regrouping, Jack Jeckel gets into the ring to start the match with KEG. The two go to tie up and Jack Jeckel slows down KEG and Fizz's momentum with an eye poke. Jack now pummels KEG as KEG drops to a knee. He continues to hammer KEG before tagging in Jake. Jake comes in and with Jack holding KEG open, places his boot perfectly into the beer belly of KEG. With KEG down in the Jeckel corner, Jake stomps on him before the ref pulls him off, allowing Jack to get some free shots in as well. Frank Archer: Nothing fancy here. Mac Raines: Don't expect a Dave Meltzer classic Frankie. This will be an ugly ass brawl. It appears Mac is right. The Jeckels are dominating with simple but effective moves. Lots of right hands, a few chops, and back rakes. Quick tags keep a fresh man in for NAW's Freak Show. Jack Jeckel tags in Jake but applies a chin lock. Jake comes in and measures up before connecting with a baseball slide dropkick to the face. Once Jack leaves, Jake Jeckel pins KEG. One... Two... Kickout... Frank Archer: KEG feels he is becoming a laughingstock in UWL. Still winless, he is dead set on winning tonight. Mac Raines: Well he better get off the mat and start fighting or he's gonna have another loss in the record book. The Jeckels continue to tag in and out very effectively. Jake is the legal man and tags in Jack then scoop slams KEG. Jack is climbing the top turnbuckle. The Jeckels use a rocket launcher move as Jake heaves Jack off the top rope to splash onto KEG. Unfortunately, KEG rolls out of the way. Frank Archer: And there's KEG's opportunity! Mac Raines: But all that's waiting for him is a midget to be tagged in. Frank Archer: That midget has a win over the UWL World Champion! Mac Raines: Yea I still don't understand how that happened. Jack Jeckel is gasping for air as KEG is looking around, dazed, trying to find his corner. Jack is crawling on his hands and knees to his corner as Helena is on the outside pounding on the mat to cheer him on. KEG is army crawling to his corner with the crowd cheering him on. Jack makes the tag to Jake just as KEG makes the tag to Fizz. Fizz immediately springs onto the top rope and leaps off crashing onto an unsuspecting Jake Jeckel. He mounts Jake and fires away with right hands to the forehead. Frank Archer: He made the tag! And Fizz is going off! Mac Raines: Look at those tiny fists go! Fizz gets off of Jake Jeckel and lets Jake get up. He dropkicks Jake's knee, then drops him with a jawbreaker. Fizz pins, but Jake kicks out. Fizz is not detered however, and gets right up. He headbutts Jake as he is trying to get up, stunning him. The crowd pops as Fizz hits a Fizzy Pop Bulldog! He pins again! One... Two... Save by Jack Jeckel. Mac Raines: Fizz is going all out man! Frank Archer: A very underrated talent. Fizz shakes off the save by Jack and applies a side headlock. It's at this moment that Jake Jeckel remembers he has a 100 pound weigh advantage and quickly gets to his knees, then powers Fizz up into the air, dropping him with a back suplex, folding Fizz up. Mac Raines: OUCH! Well so much for that run. Frank Archer: Fizz is always fighting an uphill battle no matter who he is in the ring with. Jake Jeckel regains control and stomps on Fizz before picking him up and dropping him with a belly to belly suplex that nearly squashes Fizz. Jake doesn't pin, but tags in Jack instead. Jack waits for Fizz to rise to his feet, then bounces off the ropes with a slingshot crossbody. He lands flat on Fizz and pins him. One... Two... Th-save by KEG. Frank Archer: KEG is firing away on Jack Jeckel, desperate to get his teammate out of the match. Mac Raines: Well yea, he's another splash away from being a pancake. Maybe Flame Puppy would date him then. Jack Jeckel tags in Jake, who drops Fizz with a sidewalk slam. Instead of pinning, he goes to the top rope. Frank Archer: This didn't work last time. They should stick to wearing down the smaller Fizz. Mac Raines: Well they ain't the smartest of the bunch. Jake flies off the top rope with a legdrop, but Fizz makes them 0-2 on top rope moves. Fizz rolls out of the way, and Jake lands tailbone first to the mat. He sits in agony as Fizz is trying to reach his corner. After a lifetime of seconds pass, Fizz makes the tag! Jeckel was half a second late on grabbing him. Frank Archer: He made the tag! KEG is in! KEG comes bulldozing in and takes down a retreating Jake Jeckel with a clothesline. A second clothesline as Jake down. Jack Jeckel comes in and KEG greets him with a throat punch. KEG turns back to Jake and drops him with a Double Shot (two Euro Uppercuts). Jack is on his feet and resting in the corner. KEG charges and connects a KEGSPLASH (stinger splash). Jack slumps into the corner. KEG roars as the fans are going bonkers! Frank Archer: KEG is like a brand new man right now! Mac Raines: He's tired of losing Frankie! He needs this! KEG waits for Jake Jeckel to get to his feet, then drops him with a DDT before climbing the turnbuckle.... backwards. Mac Raines: What is he doing? Why is everyone trying aerial moves? Frank Archer: Huge risk here by KEG! KEG stands on the top rope, then leaps off with a crooked moonsault. But he hits! He crashes down on Jake Jeckel and pins! One... Two... Thre-Save by Jack Jeckel! Frank Archer: That should have been three! Mac Raines: Did KEG just to a fucking moonsault!?! Jack Jeckel pounces on KEG, giving direct shots to the back of the head, until Fizz charges in and tackles Jack. Both Fizz and Jack tumble through the ropes and to the floor. They continue to brawl, lying on the floor. The save slowed KEG down, but he still is in control. He goes for the KEGBOMB powerbomb, but Jake powers out and backdrops him. Jake Jeckel waits for KEG to get up then goes for Hokus Pokus Superkick. And he hits it! Jake Jeckel pins... One... Two... Thre-Kickout!!! Frank Archer: KEG refuses to lose tonight! Mac Raines: It's breaking down. The referee has his hands full. With the ref's attention squarely in the ring, Helena takes an opportunity. With Fizz pounding on Jack Jeckel, she reaches around him and digs her long nails into his eyes, blinding him. This gives Jack Jeckel a chance to slam him into the guardrail. Frank Archer: That no good devil woman! Jack slides into the ring and double team KEG with Jake. They whip KEG to the rope and go for a double flapjack. KEG stops and kicks Jake in the face. He then sends Jack flying through the ropes and to the floor. Helena steps onto the apron, distracting both the ref and KEG. But not for long. Fizz is up and grabs her ankle, yanking her off the apron. Helena lands awkwardly, but gets to her feet in time for Fizz to smack her on the ass. The crowd enjoys this as Helena turns around shocked at what he did! This angers her but Fizz tells her to calm down, then gives her a titty twister. Mac Raines: A titty twister on Helena! Hell yeah! Frank Archer: What am I watching? The crowd errupts as Helena screams in pain and disgust. She smacks Fizz's hands away then goes to kick him in the face (since he's so short). Fizz steps out of the way, and Jack Jeckel was at the wrong place at the wrong time. Helena ends up kicking Jack right in the Family Jeckel's. Jack drops as Helena can't believe what she did. Frank Archer: Unbelievable. Back in the ring, Jake is setting up for another Hokus Pokus. This time KEG catches the boot and spins him around before kicking him in the gut. Then KEG hits the KEGBOMB powerbomb and pins... One... Two... THREE!!! DING DING!! Frank Archer: They did it! "Pretty Good at Drinking Beer" plays as the crowd explodes. Fizz slides into the ring to celebrate with KEG. Keith Williams: Ladies and gentlemen, here are your winners... KEG and Fizz!!! Mac Raines: The losing streak is broken! KEG WINS! BAH GAWD! KEG gets to his feet, celebrating, before rolling out of the ring to grab a beer. Fizz joins him and the two drink with a few front row fans. Edited by KevinHill, Mar 14 2015, 10:48 PM.

Seven matches including the NAW Tag team Champions Eric Ambrose and Thomas valin defending the NAW Tag team Championships against the Apex Predators, The Jeckel Family and another team decided on the night. The camera shows Eric Ambrose and Thomas Valin standing still. Also the NAW Championship s on the line as Alaric Trudeau defends against Jason Price. ------------------------------------- ![]() Keith Williams: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for one fall... And is for the UWL WESTERN STATES HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE! "Iron" hits the PA and out walks Ricky with his manager Lindsay. The pair walk arm in arm down the ramp and once at the bottom, he places a kiss on Lindsay's hand before entering the ring himself. Keith Williams: Introducing first, from Los Angeles, California... Weighing in at 238 pounds... Representing ACE... RICKY MOLARONI! Lindsay walks around the ring clapping for her man while he hops on the corner turnbuckle, posing for the crowd. He goes across the ring, posing in the other corner before facing the ramp, awaiting his opponent. Frank Archer: This is our first shot to see Molaroni, and he has a great opportunity in front of him. Mac Raines: But so does his opponent... "I'm A Jesus Freak" by CJAY plays as the arena gets dark, with a white spotlight appears on the stage, where a man on one knee is seen. At 0:12 of the song, Carlos blows a kiss to the ceiling cuing the golden sparklers to rain down behind him, immediately making him leap on both feet. After holding up The True Warrior's hand sign, Cruz makes his way down the ramp, greeting the rowdy audience with high fives and hugs. Keith Williams: And his opponent... From Bronx, New York... Weighing in at 177 pounds... Representing NGW... "The Jesus Freak" CARLOS CRUZ! Once he reaches the ring, Carlos easily leaps on the apron, and flies over the top rope landing on one knee with ease. Blowing another kiss to the ceiling, the steel ring posts launch more golden sparklers into the air. Mac Raines: The Jesus Freak? Oh boy. A bible thumper. Frank Archer: The son of a preacher, Carlos was raised with dignity. Mac Raines: I'd rather have hookers. DING DING!! Molaroni and Cruz circle the ring, and hesitantly give each other a quick handshake before tying up. Molaroni quickly applies an arm wringer, but Cruz rolls out, avoiding the pain, and applies his own. Molaroni spins out, and legtrips Cruz, and attempting a quick pin. Cruz easily kicks out before the ref can even get down to count. Both men spring up and Molaroni steps up, by Cruz side steps and surprises Molaroni with a roll up. Molaroni kicks out immediately. Cruz is up and goes for a spinning heel kick. Molaroni stays on one knee, seeing it coming. It's a stand off. Frank Archer: Both men are well rounded wrestlers. This should be a classic wrestling match for a change. Mac Raines: GO FOR THE EYES! Molaroni eventually gets the upperhand, without using shady tactics as Mac would suggest. He ankle picks Cruz and uses his submission background to wear down the smaller Cruz. Frank Archer: It appears that Molaroni is in control here. But don't count Cruz out. The former NGW Heavyweight Champion does fight his way out of the predictament and gets to his feet. Molaroni has a hammerlock on him, from behind, but Cruz finds an escape. Showing amazing athleticism, Cruz leaps, and uses Molaroni's frame in his favor. He leans, and turns a back flip and stands behind Molaroni. He spins Molaroni around and takes the confused ACE wrestler down with a head scissor take down. Molaroni is stunned and stays down, looking up at Cruz. Mac Raines: Cruz tops him again. Carlos may actually know what he's doing. Frank Archer: He is an intelligent wrestler. He is a warrior in the training facilities. No one should be surprised by this. Molaroni stands up and the two tie up again. Molaroni powers Cruz into the corner and the ref demands a clean break. Molaroni obliges. A second tie up, and again, Molaroni backs Cruz into the corner and gives a clean break. A smile comes across Molaroni's face. Cruz takes that as an insult and charges at Molaroni, who is ready and takes him over with an armdrag. Then another. Then a dropkick. Molaroni whips Cruz off the ropes and connects yet another dropkick. This one may win him the title as he pins, but only gets a two count. Frank Archer: Molaroni with a flurry of offense has Carlos Cruz on his heels. Molaroni stays on the offensive with an exploder suplex that also gets a two count. Molaroni seems to have a gameplan to out wrestle Carlos Cruz, but unfortunately, Cruz is a freak athlete. Molaroni goes for a german suplex, that Carlos Cruz LANDS! Cruz lands on his feet, and Molaroni hits the mat as usual, but is immediately met with a legdrop from Cruz. Mac Raines: What the hell!?! How did he do that?! Cruz waits for Molaroni to get to his feet, and once he does, Cruz rocks him with forearms. Molaroni retreats to the corner, where Cruz follows him. Cruz climbs the turnbuckle, and the crowd chants along with every punch. After the tenth punch, Cruz gets down, and irish whips Molaroni across the ring and into the opposite corner. Cruz gets a running start, thn does a back handspring before connecting with a back elbow. Molaroni staggers out of the corner to be met with a spinning heel kick to the face. Cruz follows up this series of moves with a Rolling Thunder. He pins! One... Two... Th-Kickout! Frank Archer: Carlos Cruz showing he can wrestle too. Mac Raines: He's so fast. I can't even keep up! Molaroni retreats to the corner again. Cruz follows him in and drives his shoulder deep into the midsection of Molaroni. He does this multiple times before doing a backflip and comes in charging for a big one, but Ricky Molaroni side steps and The Jesus Freak goes shoulder first into the solid turnbuckle post. Frank Archer: Oh no! He drove that shoulder hard into the post. Mac Raines: That's like waving a steak in front of an Ethiopian kid. Molaroni's bread and butter is the shoulder and arm. Mac is right. Molaroni strikes. He takes Cruz and drives him shoulder first into the turnbuckle himself. Cruz is hurt, and Molaroni drops him with a single arm DDT. Molaroni pins... One... Two... Kickout... Mac Raines: Cruz is in trouble now. Molaroni's gameplan is going to be to focus on that hurt right arm 100% now. Molaroni allows Cruz to get up, but attacks the right arm with simple, yet effective clubs. He gets a well placed kick in that echoes throughout the entire city of Portland. Cruz ducks a kick aimed at the head, and swings at Ricky, but Molaroni is ready and counters it into a Crossface. Frank Archer: Crossface! This move is one of the most agonizing moves in wrestling. Mac Raines: The torque on his shoulder is insane Frankie. It may pop at any second! Carlos Cruz manages to squirm enough to get his foot on the rope. The ref demands Molaroni to release the hold and he does so. But he immediately drags Cruz away from the ropes and reapplies the hold. Cruz rolls through, escaping the hold and beats Molaroni to his feet. He swings, and Molaroni ducks, then sends Cruz over with a Northern Lights Suplex. Molaroni bridges... One... Two... Th-Kickout! Mac Raines: He's tough. Can't deny that. Molaroni picks Cruz up, then immediately grabs the arm, applying a fujiwara armbar, but before the arm can snap, Cruz rolls through and rolls up Ricky for a two count. Cruz pops up and unbelievably hits 'Amen' (scissor kick)! Frank Archer: Amen! Mac Raines: How high did he jump? Frank Archer: One! Two! Mac Raines: He kicked out!! Molaroni is down as Cruz rolls to the apron and begins climbing the top rope. Mac Raines: Now what!?! Carlos Cruz leaps off for the Celestial Dive (Five Star Splash) but Molaroni avoids the impact and Cruz lands sternum and face first onto the mat. Gasping for breath, he scrambles up, and right into the waiting arms of Molaroni. Ricky goes for the Dragon's Rage (Pedigree) but Cruz spins out of it. Cruz knows its now or never... The Heavenly Swing (snap swinging neckbreaker)... But his arm is too hurt. Trying to make the swing, Cruz stops and clutches his shoulder/tricep area. Molaroni wastes no time and locks in the Golden Touch Cross Armbreaker. Cruz is tough, but not THAT tough. He has no choice but to tap out as the bell sounds. Keith Williams: Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner, and NEW UWL Western States Heavyweight Champion... RICCCCKYYYY MOOOLAAAROOOONNIIII!!!! "Iron" plays as the referee awards Molaroni his Western States Title. Molaroni holds it high in the air as the crowd applauds him. Frank Archer: I can't believe Cruz submitted. Mac Raines: It was either that, or lose an arm. No other choice. That armbreaker is vicious. Frank Archer: Indeed it is. Congratulations to Ricky Molaroni. The ref checks on Carlos Cruz as Molaroni exits the ring with his title. ------------------------------------- On May 2nd... The UWL's Spring Classic returns...

Who will rise and make history? ![]() ------------------------------------- ![]() We return to ringside at the Moda Center to discover a small commotion going on at the announce table. It seems the usual duo of UWL announcers is giving up their seats to two middle-aged ladies. Are these fans, perhaps? Their dates? No! They are none other than Kerry Buckingham and Cher LaTour, best known as the voices of GPW Monday Night Explosion! With the company in town for another stop on their tour, it is clear that the two wanted to stop by and commentate the GPW showcase Street Fight themselves. As the two gentlemen get displaced by each of them – one reacting to it gracefully, the other indignantly, a comment can be heard from the canary-yellow-clad Kerry Buckingham: Kerry Buckingham: One side, darlings. It's time for you to learn what real announcing sounds like! By her side, her partner, who is just putting her headset on, scolds: Cher LaTour: Don't be rude, Kay. We are the guests here, after all... Then, to viewers at home: Cher: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to ringside at UWL Retribution! I'm Cher LaTour, alongside Kerry Buckingham, bringing you special coverage of the unsanctioned Street Fight between Alexis Terry, recently departed from our company, and dominant GPW superstar Artemis Kaiser. This is a match laden with personal history, and it's an honor to have the chance to commentate it! Kerry: It'll also be an honour to watch Artypop destroy that irritant, Alexis Terry! Some 'Crusade' hers was...ha! Cher: 'Artypop'? Kerry: It's what her friends call her, dear. If you used Twitter, you'd know. Cher, apprehensive: Just...don't let her hear you... Before Kerry can retort, the duo is interrupted, as The familiar fairytale sounds of the beginning of Ellie Goulding's "Animal" hits before fading into the K.I.M.M.I.C. remixed version of the song. The lights within the arena fade to black. The fans boo loudly knowing exactly who is about about to emerge on stage. Smoke fills the stage as does a blue haze. After a moment, letting the beat kick in, Alexis Terry steps on stage - her eyes covered by her ring jacket but a smirk is still visible. Keith Williams: The following contest is an Unsanctioned Street Fight! Making her way to the ring, hailing from Galveston, Texas by way of Newcastle, England - she is 'The One-Woman Injustice League'....ALEXIS....TERRRRRRYYYYYYY! Alexis slowly makes her way to the ring ignoring the fans protest. She slides into the ring and faces the hard camera - pointing into it before flipping the hood of her jacket and looking into the camera. Cher: If nothing else, Alexis does not let the displeasure of the fans affect her here tonight. Alexis, of course, has recently left GPW and rejoined GIW, which we understand is also affiliated with UWL... Kerry: GPW, GIW, this is all so very confusing! Come up with more original acronyms, people! Before Kerry can rant any further about the lack of originality in wrestling-company acronyms, however, Alexis Terry’s theme fades out completely. A silence overtakes the Moda Center. People begin to await Artemis Kaiser to make her way to the ring. They sit idle, anticipating the robust sounds of “Sonne” by Rammstein, her usual entrance theme. People are already chanting the infamous phrase. “KILL, ARTY, KILL!” The lights lower down. Sounds of thunder and lightning pick up, but instead of heavy metal, something else plays. ♪ Lady, I am your knight in shining armor and I love you. You have made me who I am and I am yours. ♪ “Lady” by Kenny Rogers begins to play as Artemis makes her way out from the back. She is alone. There are no men standing behind her, carrying flags. The soft piano is a heavy contrast as Artemis stands on the stage. Her eyes fall upon Alexis, not moving from their target one bit. She stands there for a moment, keeping her emotionless stare on Alexis. She tightens her wrist tape and begins to walk down to the ring. Keith Williams: Introducing her opponent, from Mt. Pearl, Newfoundland, Canada, weighing in at 123 Ibs, ARTEMIS KAAAAAAAAAAAISER! ♪ My love, there are so many ways I want to say I love you. Let me hold you in my arms forever more. ♪ Kerry: What is this? Kenny Rogers? I thought Artemis hated Alexis. It sounds more as if she wants to cuddle up with her, not rip her to shreds. Cher: I think I get it. This song is not reflective of Artemis’ thoughts. It is an ironic statement to what she feels for Alexis. This is what Alexis wants Artemis to be like. She wants Artemis to be a loving woman that will accept her. You can tell by Artemis’ body language and that…that stare, she is not feeling love. There is only hate. She does not want to hold Alexis in her arms lovingly. She wants to strangle the life out of Alexis Terry. This is her message to Alexis Terry. This is…haunting, to say the least. ♪ You have gone and made me such a fool. I am so lost in your love. ♪ Artemis stops at the middle of the ramp, cracking her neck. She looks up to the ceiling, closing her eyes. She lets out a puff of air, before proceeding on her way. Her eyes once again lock onto Alexis. They do not break. Fans try to reach out to her. Some manage to touch Artemis’ form. She does not lash out at them as she would in GPW. Kerry: Mind games, Cher. I think that is Artemis’ game right now. Cher: I would agree with you, but…Artemis is marching to the ring as an executioner. She has come to make Alexis pay. Artemis is at the end of the ramp. She begins to take off her hoodie, dropping it onto the ground. It is clear that Artemis added more to her face paint. She has added Viking markings, adding to the “blood mark” she has on her nose and cheek. She stands at the end of the ramp, following Alexis Terry who is stretching. Artemis leaps on the ring apron, getting into the ring methodically. Kerry: Okay, I am starting to get it a bit now. This is not going to be pretty at all, Cher. I love it. ♪ And oooooooooooh, we belong together. Won’t you believe in my sooooooooooooong? ♪ Artemis stands on her side of the ring, checking her wrist tape. She cracks her knuckles the fearsome way she does. With her thumb, she presses down on each finger, cracking the knuckles. The lights begin to come back up. The song eventually fades out, leaving the crowd stunned. They are mostly silent out of either respect, wonder, or fear. The referee goes to Artemis, asking if she was ready. Artemis gives a silent nod, not dividing her focus on her target. Kerry: I've got goosebumps...brrrr... Cher: Here we go! Indeed, the bell has just rung, causing Alexis to immediately lunge for one of the many weapons strewn around the ring – in this case, a kendo stick. She holds it up defensively, but Artemis makes no motion towards her. Instead, she opens her arms wide, exposing her chest region, as if inviting Alexis to hit her. The fans buy into this and a chant of 'HIT HER, HIT HER!' arises from the stands. Cher: Artemis is that confident, that she's offering Alexis a free hit? Is that really advisable? Kerry: Darling, this is Artemis. 'Advisable' is not part of her lexicon. Cher: ...point taken. As the two announcers debate, Alexis takes her shot – as Artemis knew she would. A simple swat sends the kendo stick flying out of Alexis's hand, and another swift motion sees the Englishwoman trapped in a standing triangle arm lock. The whole process takes less than two seconds, ensuring Artemis an early lead in this match-up. Cher: And ladies and gentlemen, Artemis has said, of course, that she intends to destroy Alexis Terry without making use of weapons. And we are seeing some of that here with this arm submission...but Alexis Terry is fighting back! Indeed, the GIW star and GPW alum is managing to fight through the pain of the submission, and is valiantly keeping Artemis from taking it to the ground. Suddenly, she follows through on her efforts with a dropkick, which does take Artemis by surprise and causes her to loosen the hold. Alexis is off on her feet like a bullet, stopping only to stoop down and get a chair on her way to the ropes. She springboards off, lifting up the chair... ...CRACCCCKKK!!! The sound of the chair hitting Artemis's head echoes across the Moda Center, bringing a gasp from the stands. A trickle of blood begins to issue from a spot near the 'Champ 4 Lyfe''s hairline as she falls to the mat hard. Alexis sees her chance and – after quickly disposing of the chair – goes for the early pinfall attempt. Cher: Alexis Terry with that brutal chairshot, looking to end it early here... ONE! TWO! TH---NO! Cher: Shoulder up by Artemis at the last second! Kerry: How is she still alive!? Alexis Terry seems to be asking herself the same question, as she runs her hands through her hair and turns to give the referee a piece of her mind. Kerry: She seems convinced it was three, and darling, I'm inclined to agree you know... Cher: Well, the referee didn't see it that way...so our former roster member will have to start over here. Alexis, resigned to her fate, brings Artemis up to her feet before dragging her by the hair towards the fallen steel chair. She takes a moment to position the 'Champ 4 Lyfe' just right before executing a brutal DDT onto the chair! Another roar issues from the Moda Center stands, as Alexis once again attemps the early pin. ONE! TWO! TH—NO! Once again, was that a three? The referee says no, and thus the former GPW crusader is forced to continue looking for that elusive victory. Cher: No love loss between these women, who share a rather bumpy story to say the least. Alexis, at one point, made amorous advances towards Artemis, which our 'Champ 4 Lyfe' took extremely poorly. Which is why it was surprising to see them not only join GPW as a tag team, but win the Championships, and become the first team to ever successfully defend them! And now, months on from their break-up, here they are on opposite sides of the barricade yet again! Kerry: And speaking of the barricade... ...speaking of the barricade, Alexis just threw a barely-conscious Artemis against it, causing the 'Champ 4 Lyfe' to crumple to the concrete floor. Not wasting a second, Alexis immediately reaches for another folding chair, which she uses to absolutely destroy her opponent's back and ribcage area. Shot after shot land on the hapless Canadian, who is looking a far cry from her usual, menacing GPW self. Cher: Alexis is certainly making the most of the stipulation for this unsanctioned Street Fight... Kerry: ..for now. You wait until Artypop really starts trying! Cher, nervously: Shhhh...! She's within earshot! Within earshot she may be, but she is certainly not hearing anything; instead, she struggles to remain conscious and upright as Alexis rolls her back into the ring and whips her to the ropes. As the diminutive Canadian bounces back, Alexis throws the now-battered chair into the air and dropkicks it...straight at Artemis's face! Another 'OOOFFFF!' sound issues from the stands as the Canadian yet again meets the mat, and the Englishwoman yet again covers. ONE! TWO! TH—Kickout yet again from Artemis! Kerry: How is she doing it?! Cher: It's reflexive. It has to be! Reflexive or not, Artemis continues to survive, as an increasingly frustrated Alexis Terry has to start over yet again. Rather than bring her opponent to her feet, however, the Englishwoman instead begins to rummage through the weapons littered across the ring. After several moments of painstaking search, she finally seems to find what she is looking for. The crowd gasps as she reaches for a weapon with huge significance to both contenders...a pair of brass knuckles. Kerry: Oh...oh dear! Cher: ...a callback to Hail Britannia's reign as GPW Tag Team Champions here, as Alexis dons the brass knuckles that retained them a Championship! Indeed, the former Crusader seems to have chosen this particular weapon for that exact same purpose, using them to taunt Artemis as she turns around... ...to no sign of Artemis. Cher: Wait a moment...where is Artemis...? Kerry: There! The Brit's cry coincides with the moment most fans spot Artemis, taking a breather on the outside. The 'Champ 4 Lyfe' has clearly used the several seconds Alexis gave her as she looked for the brass knuckles and rolled out of the ring to catch her bearings. Now, as she is spotted by Alexis, she leans against the barricade, slowly recuperating. Kerry: Artypop is so smart! She saw her chance and took it! Cher: Would-you-stop-calling-her-that-she-might-hear-us! Hearing the announcers, however, is the least of Artemis's worries. Rather, she focuses on recovering enough to fend off a still in control Alexis Terry, As for her opponent, she sees her chance to inflict even further pain on Artemis, and promptly dives over the ropes with a suicide plancha... ...only for Artemis to sidestep it and Alexis to hit the barricade hard! Cher: WHAT A FACEPLANT! Kerry: But Artypop is not in the clear yet! Indeed, while she has bought several more seconds for herself, Artemis is still far from a comfortable position. Knowing this, and using her well-documented wrestling smarts, she picks Alexis Terry up by the trunks and throws her over the barricade, into the middle of the audience. Standing fans part as the Englishwoman thuds to the floor in front of them! Cher: Artemis throwing Alexis into the middle of the Moda Center stands...and now...yes...she is kicking Alexis up the rows! Indeed, the Canadian is now alternately shoving and punting her opponent up the rows of seats, as ecstatic fans surround them. Alexis, however, is not down for the count just yet, and manages to turn around so that she is facing 'The Champ 4 Lyfe'. Artemis swings at her with a lariat, but Alexis dodges and executes a snap suplex, which sends the Canadian rolling down the steps all the way to the barricade – to the delight of the fans in attendance! Cher: Reversal from Alexis Terry, and she's not out of this match yet! Indeed she is not – and seeing her opponent at her mercy, she charges towards her with a battlecry. Artemis is – again – aware enough to dodge the charge, struggling to get to her feet before Alexis has the chance to turn around. She accomplishes this, but her groggy state affects her accuracy, and when she goes for the Lance of Longinus spear, Alexis is able to dodge, and it's the Canadian going shoulder-first into the barricade. Reacting quickly, Alexis hits a bulldog, faceplanting her enemy onto the concrete floor! Cher: What a sequence! Kerry: But Alexis is not in the ring, therefore she cannot pin Artypop! Alexis, however, seems to have abandoned that game plan in favour of simply wrecking her opponent. She throws Artemis ass-over-teakettle over the barricade, just like the Canadian did to her a moment ago, then goes to reach for a weapon once again. She has just enough time to grab a trash can lid before sensing movement behind her and turning around into... Cher: GOOD LORD! ...a spear through the trash can lid from Artemis! Unfortunately, the Canadian is not one hundred percent, and the Englishwoman is therefore able to release the lid before getting hurt, sending Artemis tumbling forward into nothing. Kerry: Oh dear... Cher: Quick reflexes once again from Terry, who is managing once again to even this contest! It seems as though Alexis is poised to capitalise on yet another miscalculation from Artemis, but before she can do so, the incredibly resilient Canadian is on her again, this time looking to punish her with punches. Alexis responds in kind, and while Artemis has the slight advantage throughout, the brawl quickly evens out again. It is in this fashion – punching one another and giving no quarter – that the two women disappear behind the curtain, bringing a mutter of disappointment from the fans... ...which is replaced by a cheer as the two appear on the Moda Center's flatscreen, brawling backstage with a referee in close attendance! Cher: This one has spilled backstage...and look at this! Artemis has just attempted to put Alexis through the counter of a concession stand with her DMD piledriver, but her attempt was thwarted when Alexis slinked out of the move. As such, it is the Canadian who finds herself going torso-first against the counter! Alexis tries to capitalise quickly with a double-ax handle, but Artemis evades and applies a rear naked choke on her opponent before she has time to turn! Cher: What a reversal yet again from Artemis Kaiser...but Alexis is still fighting! Indeed, a couple of stiff elbow shots to the stomach keep Alexis in this one, as she manages to make Artemis release the hold. She spins around and unleashes a brutal forearm shot, but the Canadian dodges and counters with her trademark Falcon Punch! Kerry: SHE GOT HER! But she needs to pin her! Cher: I feelArtemis is beyond pinfalls at this point... Indeed, that does seem to be the case, as the Canadian does not seem in the least bit bothered with a pin or three-count. Instead, she picks Alexis up off the floor and hurls her roughly forward, making her stumble towards a nearby window. Cher: What is Artemis...GOOD GOD! CRASSSSSHHHH!!!! Alexis finds herself hurled through the shattering glass of the closed window and tumbling to the outside of the Moda Center. Fortunately, it is a ground-floor window, but the incident still leaves its mark, most notably on Alexis's ankle. As she struggles to her feet, the GIW star seems to have twisted it, and is having difficulty standing upright. As for her opponent, she simply climbs through the window – seemingly oblivious to the shards – and keeps on coming, inexorably, like a blood-red Terminator with its sight set on one Alexis Terry. Cher: I..I don't think Artemis is...thinking clearly anymore... Kerry: She is literally seeing red! Seeing her end near, Artemis's former tag team partner tries to put up a fight – but, with her twisted ankle, it is hopeless. She is easy pickings for Artemis, who once again grabs her by the collar and hurls her in the direction of a nearby parked SUV. The former Crusader hits the grille of the car, and barely has time to get her bearings before Artemis descends. Elbows. Then chops. Kicks. A high knee. And, as Alexis slumps to the ground, a Face Wash. The devastating, video-game-like combo known as the Hate Parade is complete. Alexis seems completely and utterly dead. And still Artemis will not relent. She picks her unconscious opponent up and drapes her over the hood of the vehicle, before climbing onto it herself. Cher: What is Artemis looking for here? The Canadian's purpose begins to become clear when she takes Alexis's lifeless body and puts it on the SUV's roof, before climbing up herself. She then traps her opponent's head between her legs, hoists her up and executes... Cher: GOOD LORD! DMD ON THE ROOF OF A CAR! Indeed, Artemis has just put Alexis through the vehicle's roof with her trademark package piledriver! A roar is heard from inside the arena as the Canadian flings her opponent back down onto the hood and drops down. There follows an almost nonchalant cover, brimming with confidence. ONE! TWO! THREE! A roar erupts inside the arena as Keith Williams climbs into the ring to announce: Keith Williams: Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of this Street Fight...ARTEMIS KAISER! The camera cuts to a stunned-looking Cher and Kerry, who can barely articulate their thoughts: Cher: I...I cannot believe what we just saw... Kerry: Y-yes...quite. The announcers are still borderline speechless – a rarity for them – when their two UWL counterparts come to retrieve their seats once again. There is only time for a hasty goodbye and a quick plug for Monday Night Explosion – right here in Portland for its next show – before Cher and Kerry are asked to leave so the show can resume. ------------------------------------- Edited by KevinHill, Mar 14 2015, 11:01 PM.

------------------------------------- The scene opens up in the backstage interview area where we see, to the chagrin of the fans, Jonny Cedrone standing there, flanked by Gloria as she stands real close to him with her arm draped over his shoulder, with Jonny having one arm wrapped around her waist Gloria: “Jonny, ya know it’s real nice to see how close Orion is to his grandmother. That was a real touching video he shared.” Gloria smirked as she shakes her head. Cedrone: “Yeah, it was, but the thing of it is…how is he going to live with himself?” Gloria: “What ever do you mean?” Gloria feigns a surprised look. Cedrone: “How is he going to live with himself after he goes out to that ring tonight and loses the match and loses the American Heavyweight Championship, letting down his Nana, and all his friends and fans? How’s he going to live with himself after he disappoints not only himself but each and every individual that has so much confidence, so much faith in the fact that he’s going to win tonight and keep the American Heavyweight Championship? With his friends, family and fans thinking that Orion is going to go on to cement his name as one of, if not the greatest wrestler to ever step foot inside a professional wrestling ring with another win tonight, becoming the longest reigning American Heavyweight Champion in UWL history…….I really wish I could be a fly on the wall in their houses after The Franchise beats him and wins the American Heavyweight Championship.” Gloria smirks and the fans give Cedrone heat Cedrone: “The one thing that I’m going to give him credit on is the fact that he knows some of his stuff. He actually knows me better than I thought he did. Orion, I’m not going to lie to you or anyone else for that matter, if there’s one thing that The Franchise is, it’s honest. I’ll tell ya like it is in a heartbeat….my sights are set on bigger and better things. The World Heavyweight Championship is where it’s at…always has been, always will be. But the thing you were wrong about, the thing that you were dead wrong about was your thoughts about how well I will…or in your delusional mind…not represent the American Heavyweight Championship.” Gloria: “Maybe it’s time you set him and the rest of the world straight about who you are.” Cedrone: “The Franchise once took an entire company up on his shoulders and took it back to the top of the wrestling world. It was considered to be the biggest and number one promotion in professional wrestling! Why? Because I was in it. In this organization, I wore each and every Championship that they had to offer, and I wore every Championship with honor, dignity and held all of them to high prestige! So don’t think that just because I’m holding the American Heavyweight Championship, but always thinking about bigger and better things, that I can’t hold the American Heavyweight Championship in high regards, and hold it to its highest prestige. The Franchise goes by this old adage, ‘it’s not the Championship that makes the man, it’s the man that makes the Championship’ and believe me when I tell you, when I take that American Heavyweight Championship away from you tonight, I’m going to take the meaning of that Championship to brand new heights!” Gloria: “Ha ha ha! Mmmmm…Jason Orion, the fate of your American Heavyweight Championship has been determined…tonight it’s going home with us. I’m not going to say I’m sorry, because I’m not, but your journey as Champion comes to an end tonight. You can put on a good show for your friends, and family and fans, but to say that you’ve set them up for disappointment is an understatement. It was a great run while it lasted Orion, but for the first time in nearly quarter of a year, the United Wrestling League will have a brand new and worthy Champion in ‘The King of Sexy’… ‘The Franchise’ Jonny Cedrone” ------------------------------------- ![]() The drums of The Beatles' 'Everybody's Got Something To Hide (Except For Me And My Monkey)' begin to play, drawing a cheer from the crowd. A moment later, Jason Orion comes out, Spot Monkey across his shoulders as always. The UWL American Championship shining around his waist. Keith Williams: The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and is for the UWL American Heavyweight Championship! Introducing first, from Gary, Indiana... Weighing in at 150 pounds... Representing ACE, he is the UWL American Heavyweight Champion... JASON ORION! As the lyrics to the song kick in, Orion begins to run down the aisle, slapping hands. Once at ringside, he takes a moment to hand Spot Monkey over to a ring technician, on his leash, before vaulting over the top rope onto the centre of the ring. Mac Raines: I'm so sick of this guy. Frank Archer: What do you have against Jason Orion? Mac Raines: He's the luckiest son of a bitch ever. Frank Archer: Orion has proved himself over the biggest and baddest. Mac Raines: Yeah, well that comes to an end here in a few minutes. The lights in the arena go out, followed by guitars blaring through the pa system. Multi-colored lights flash with the beat of the song and after a moment, Jonny Cedrone comes walking through the curtains. The crowd boos at the sight of him as he gives them all a cocky smirk. He walks down the aisle, badmouthing the fans along the way. Keith Williams: And his opponent... From Las Vegas, Nevada... Weighing in at 240 pounds... Representing CCW... JONNY CEDRONE! Mac Raines: Now THAT'S what a champion should look like. Big. Strong. Tough. He was made to wear that American Heavyweight Title. Frank Archer: You a fan of Cedrone Mac? Mac Raines: Damn straight. Once he reaches the ring, Cedrone climbs the steps, makes a few steps, wipes his feet then makes his way through the ropes. Once inside the ring, Jonny climbs to each middle turnbuckle and agitates the crowd even more before standing in his corner, waiting for the start of the match. DING DING!! Frank Archer: Here we go. American Heavyweight Championship is on the line! The two men begin with a traditional tie up, and as anyone would expect, Cedrone easily backs Orion to the ropes. Cedrone gives a clean break but pats Orion on the head before backing off. Orion is NOT amused. However, Mac Raines is. Mac Raines: HAHAHAHA!!!! The two tie up again and Cedrone backs the champion to the corner. Instead of a clean break, Cedrone just lifts Orion up and has him sit on the top turnbuckle. He pats him on the arm as if he were a kid. Frank Archer: How insulting! Mac Raines: How hilarious!! Cedrone turns his back to Orion... Not a smart move. Orion is up. He leaps off the turnbuckle just as Cedrone turns around and takes him out with a leg scissor takedown. Cedrone tries to get to his feet as Orion is running at him. Orion ducks a clothesline, springs off the ropes and connects a crossbody! Jason Orion then hits a dropkick that sends Cedrone through the ropes and to the floor. Frank Archer: The crowd is going crazy! Mac Raines: I think he's on roids. Frank Archer: Now that is just absurd. Cedrone is on the floor, as Orion gets the crowd behind him. Orion climbs to the top rope, and points down at Cedrone before dropping down on him. Unfortunately, Cedrone is ready and connects a fist to the gut of Orion on his way down. The champion is gasping for air as Cedrone picks him up, then drops him throat first across the steel guardrail. Orion drops like a sack of potatoes as Cedrone lays the boots to him. Frank Archer: Cedrone showing his mean streak right here. Mac Raines: And look how smart he is. Rolling into the ring, just to roll out. Avoid the countout. Frank Archer: Just to inflinct more punishment. Cedrone grabs Orion and drives him into the steel steps before rolling him in the ring and dropping him with a belly to belly suplex and pinning... Jason Orion kicks out. Jonny immediately applies a front face lock on Orion, putting all his weight onto the champion. Mac Raines: Wear down the smaller man. Simple, and effective. Orion does manage to begin fighting to his feet, but the second he does get to a vertical base, his challenger hooks Orion's arms and throws him down with a butterfly suplex that'd make Scott Steiner proud. Cedrone pins... One... Two... Kickout... Frank Archer: Jason Orion is tough to put away. Mac Raines: But look. Right back to the face lock. Sapping his energy. Again, Orion has to battle just to get to his feet. With the crowd cheering him on, the American Heavyweight Champion does just that. He gets up and gives Cedrone some well placed fists to the midsection. Finally free, Orion turns to hit the ropes, but Cedrone grabs him by the wrist and yanks Orion back in. He goes for another butterfly suplex, but Orion spins out of it. He rocks Cedrone with some forearms, retreating his challenger to the ropes. He shoots Jonny off the ropes. Orion goes for a standing dropkick. Cedrone hangs onto the ropes and Orion hits the back of his head. The champ gets to his feet just in time for Jonny Cedrone to take him down with a russian leg sweep, followed by a knee drop. Cedrone pins... One... Two... Th-Kickout! Mac Raines: Stay on him Jonny! Cedrone takes Mac's advice, but is showing signs of frustration. He hammers Orion, as Orion stumbles to the corner. Cedrone whips him across the ring and to the opposite corner before crushing him with a clothesline. As Orion wobbles out of the corner, Cedrone powers him up for a gorilla press slam. Jason Orion has had enough though. He gauges at the eyes of his challenger, much to the fans delight. Cedrone drops Orion and the champ lands on his feet. He leaps on Cedrone and applies a sleeper hold. Mac Raines: That's cheating! Frank Archer: It was an act of desperation, and now Orion has Cedrone in a sleeper. Mac Raines: Ref needs to check that. Make sure it's not a choke. Cedrone is getting weaker, and drops to a knee. As the crowd watches in excitement, Orion is closing in on victory, when Cedrone powers up, turns Orion sideways and drops him with a backbreaker. Cedrone pins... One... Two... Th-Kickout! Mac Raines: Jonny Cedrone is just too good. It's only a matter of time. Raines may be right, but the sleeper hold has done it's damage. Cedrone is slow to get up and looks woozy. He brings Orion to his feet and whips him across the ring. Orion hits the ropes and comes charging back. Cedrone ducks too early and Orion stops on a dime and brings Cedrone down with a small package... One... Two... Thr-Kickout! Frank Archer: So close! Cedrone is startled and rushes to his feet. Orion ducks every punch Cedrone throws, and goes for a kick. Cedrone catches the boot, but Orion connects with an enzuigiri that drops Cedrone to a knee. Orion hits the ropes then leaps into the air, hitting a Shawn Michaels-esque forearm smash that drops Cedrone. Frank Archer: Both men are down! What a surge by Jason Orion! Mac Raines: What is happeneing? Orion is getting to his feet, with Cedrone hot on his trail. Orion sets Cedrone for a suplex, but Cedrone blocks it. A second attempt, same result. Cedrone easily lifts Orion up for his own suplex, but instead places him groin first across the top turnbuckle, no doubt taking the momentum out of Orion. Cedrone begins climbing the turnbuckle as well and looks to try a superplex instead. For the sake of his title reign, Orion holds on, and fights Cedrone off, teeing off with so many lefts and rights that Cedrone simply collapses and falls to the mat below. Orion is up and leaps off connecting a frogsplash. Frank Archer: Frog splash! And he's pinning! Mac Raines: KICKOUT!! One... Two... Thr-Kickout! Mac Raines: Seriously, how is he doing this? Frank Archer: Does Orion have one more homerun in him? Orion brings a dazed Cedrone to his feet, but Cedrone slows him down with a thumb to the eye. Cedrone powerfully irish whips Orion to the ropes and ducks down for a backdrop. The crowd roars as Orion never stops running, and takes Cedrone over with him and spikes him on his head with the Indeterminate Nationality Destroyer! Orion pins... One... Two... Thre-Kickout! Frank Archer: Orion is so close! So close to putting away Jonny Cedrone. Jason Orion can't believe that Cedrone kicked out. But he shakes away the shock and looks back at Cedrone. Cedrone is getting up and Orion goes for another enzuigiri that Cedrone ducks. Orion hits the mat and gets back up. Cedrone grabs him by the head and connects a facebuster with the knee, Triple H style. The impact sends Orion back to the ropes, bouncing him off. Cedrone explodes up and crashes Orion down to the mat with a Double A Spinebuster! Mac Raines: What a spinebuster! Frank Archer: Just when Orion had him, Jonny Cedrone with an expertly done spinebuster that echoes throughout the arena. Mac Raines: There's the pin! One... Two... Thr-Kickout! Mac Raines: NO! Frank Archer: What heart! Cedrone is angry now. He waits for Orion to get up and goes for the Ace in the Hole (Diamond Cutter). Orion slides out of his grasp and steps back. He goes for broke with the Nebula Superkick. Cedrone steps aside and goes for the homerun with the Royal Flush (Clothesline From Hell). Orion ducks though. Cedrone swung so hard that he spins and falls to his knees. Mac Raines: Almost killed him! Frank Archer: Look! Jason Orion starts running, locks in the front facelock and flips... Short But Sweet plants Cedrone... Orion quickly pins and hooks the leg... One... Two... Three!!! DING DING DING! 'Everybody's Got Something To Hide (Except For Me And My Monkey)' plays as the crowd errupts! Mac Raines: No! No no no no no! Frank Archer: The underdog wins again! Keith Williams: Here is your winner... And STILL UWL American Heavyweight Champion... JAAASSOOOONNNN OOOOORRRRIOOONNNN!!! Orion clutches his title and holds it high. He exits the ring as Cedrone comes to life and Orion is already celebrating with the fans. Mac Raines: This is sickening. Down right sickening. Frank Archer: Congratu.... Folks, I'm being told we're going backstage with Justin Killpatrick. Justin can you hear us? ------------------------------------- We go backstage to UWL backstage reporter, Justin Killpatrick. It appears he was not expecting to be on screen, as his hair isn't "TV Perfect" and the collar of his shirt is popped out. Justin Killpatrick: Good evening everyone. Retribution has been interupted by some breaking news. It's being reported that Awesome Championship Entertainment, or ACE, one of UWL's premier promotions have closed shop. The crowd in the arena can hear Killpatrick, and you can hear the silence. Justin Killpatrick: With me now is UWL Chairman, Kevin Hill. Mr. Hill, thank you for your time. Kevin Hill: Justin, this was a surprise to all of us. As you said, ACE has been a top promotion for us since their introduction back in October. We were all blind sided by this, including me. Justin Killpatrick: What happens now to the scheduled April 12th UWL World Title match between Alex Castellanos and Delikado? Kevin Hill: Well that match was set to take place at ACE's big event in April, but obviously, that isn't happening. Delikado as we speak is STILL the number one contender to the UWL World Heavyweight Title. Justin Killpatrick: When will he get his title shot sir? Kevin Hill: That, we're not sure. We found out just moments ago, about ACE. We haven't made a decision at this time. But we will provide that information when we make the decision. Justin Killpatrick: Mr. Hill. Thank you. Kevin Hill: Thank you Justin. And with that, Kevin Hill exits the shot. Justin Killpatrick: Well guys, there you have it. Just moments before our main event, and this bombshell hits us. If we hear anything, we will let you know. Back to you guys. We cut back to Raines and Archer, who are clearly shaken up. Mac Raines: I... Don't understand... Frank Archer: Very unsettling news. But we must move forward. It's time for the main event. It's time for history to be made. It's time for Gaia Galanos vs Flame Puppy! ------------------------------------- Edited by KevinHill, Mar 14 2015, 11:09 PM.

------------------------------------- The scene cuts back to Flame Puppy’s many escapades in ACE and Skyfire. Winning the Endurance title against The Fire Goddess in Skyfire, winning the ACE Junior Pro title in a triple threat match, beating ACE’s Champion, Parker Van Peter, defeating the caliber of a multi-time hall of fame wrestler, Josh Eagles, and taking out Nikki Vaughn and Jessica Roberts at UWL’s Wrestlefest. Flame Puppy: I think after everything I’ve been through, this fight has to be the highlight of my career. It’s crazy to think that everything that I’ve done with my life thus far has lead up to this moment and time where I get to stand across the ring from Gaia Galanos. As far as winning against Gaia, I don’t know how I’m going to do it, but i’m going to do it. I’ll figure it out, it’s what I do best. The scene on the tron shows Gaia Galanos sitting in a locker room. Her head is down and the UWL Queen of Wrestling Championship belt is in one hand while the GPW World Championship is in the other. Her head raises as she looks back and forth at each title. Gaia Galanos: As long as anyone can remember, I have dominated the Women’s Division in UWL… The scene shows Gaia winning the, then, UWL Ladies World Championship in surprising fashion against the veteran, Anne Brandeis. It shows her going through a prestigious roster of competitors such as the likes of The Harlequin(former GIW Undisputed Champion) and Magdalena Waechter, the winner of the Ascension Match. Gaia Galanos: Now, I have come to arguably the biggest match I have ever had in the UWL. Not necessarily because Flame Puppy is any more or less talented than any of the women I have faced up until now… The next scene shows Gaia doing the unspeakable by making Anne Brandeis tap out to the Galanos Clutch in their rematch for the Ladies World title before returning to Gaia once more. Gaia Galanos: This isn’t just a match for my title as the Queen of Wrestling… The next scene shows Gaia forcing The Harlequin to tap out via the Galanos Clutch before flashing back over to the UWL Queen of Wrestling and GPW World Champion. Gaia Galanos: This isn’t about some vendetta… The clip now shows Gaia rushing toward Magdalena Waechter and hitting the Seismós Strike directly to her temple causing Magdalena to fall limp on the canvas. Gaia Galanos: This is about defending GPW’s honor. Flame Puppy came to GPW and defeated Megan Riley in my territory. This title shows that the UWL ring is just as much my territory as the GPW ring. Flame Puppy is popular, but popularity doesn’t win wrestling matches… Flame Puppy steps into GPW territory and takes down Megan Riley to become the #1 Contender...
The time for talk, bragging, and being friends is over. It's time to fight. It's time to see if there's a NEW Queen of Wrestling... OOC Note - This was taken from GPW Results... Solid stuff guys! ------------------------------------- ![]() The awesome sounds of a Curse Icon's Down reverberates across the PA system in all of it's epicness, serenading the eardrums of all in listening distance. The crowd commences to clap along with the music. Strong with the force, Flame Puppy jumps out from behind the curtains into the loving embrace of cheers from the crowd. "COOOME OOOON!" Flame Puppy shouts to no one in particular while clinching her fist and biting her bottom lip. She makes her way down towards the ring, running her fingers through her hair a bit, and looking scared yet determined all the same. Frank Archer: It's main event time ladies and gentlemen! Mac Raines: And for the first time ever, two women close the show for the United Wrestling League. Once close in, Flame Puppy takes a moment to get really close to the camera lens to either tell random reddit shower thoughts or what she had at IHOP earlier that day while taunting. She makes her way around the ring swiftly with the cameraman close behind, elbow, fist bumping, and minor fraternizing with all the fans who were lucky enough to get first row seats. Frank Archer: Flame Puppy is arguably one of the most popular wrestlers in the UWL today. The fans adore her. Mac Raines: But it's not about popularity Frankie. It's about wins. It's about gold. And her opponent tonight has plenty of both. Depending on who's available, Flame Puppy takes a crowd member's camera and cheesy smile selfie before giving it back to them. Once completed with half her lap, she jumps up on the apron, and looks back at the crowd in a crouch while giving a cute roar in her beanie cap. The crowd, in kindness, answers back by throwing a multitude of pink, orange, and red streamers in her general direction. As her purposely annoying music dies down, Flame uses the ring ropes to stretch. An atmospheric orchestra kicks in, setting the tone as the lights dim down. Around the 14 second mark, the music suddenly halts as the lights completely cut off in the arena. We then hear words shouted in Gaia Galanos' voice across the speaker system: "THIS IS SPARTAAA!" From there an almost blindingly bright light suddenly comes on from the entrance tunnel as a strong female form appears at the top of the entrance stage as the crowd erupts into cheers. As the orchestra kicks back in with fast and atmospheric music, red lights scan the arena frantically as the bright lights kick off and a spotlight shines down upon the rather intense-looking greek fighter, Gaia Galanos, who has both the UWL Queen of Wrestling and GPW World Championships on each shoulder. Frank Archer: Gaia Galanos has been flat out dominant in UWL, and finally capping it off with a victory over Emma McFarlane for the GPW Championship. As she makes her way down the ramp, various fans from the crowd on either side of the barricade reach out to get high fives, but only a select few actually receive them as she nonchalantly reaches a hand out very occasionally. She then walks toward the ring steps, while she does, Gaia snaps the UWL Queen of Wrestling belt around her waist while proudly clutching the GPW World title on her muscular shoulder. Mac Raines: She looks like she is at her peak physically. When she reaches the ring steps, she jogs up them then walks across the apron, about a quarter of the way across, she turns around, grabbing the top rope with her left hand and looks out toward the audience while walking backwards and hoisting up the GPW World Championship in her right hand, putting it on displaying to the audience, which garners a HUGE ovation from the crowd. As she gets about 3/4 of the way across the ring, she steps through the ropes and makes a beeline for the far turnbuckle. With a fire in her eyes, she pulls herself up onto the turnbuckle and, in one fluid motion, unsnaps the Queen of Wrestling title and raises it up in the air along with the GPW World title her arms much to the approval of the crowd. Once she lowers her titles, she looks around at the audience for a short moment prior to dropping down from the turnbuckle while turning. The referee walks over and receives the titles from her which are, in turn, handed off to the outside of the ring. As Gaia takes her corner, she clasps her hands together and begins spinning her wrists to loosen up while awaiting the beginning of the match as her music fades out and the atmosphere returns to normal... Keith Williams: Ladies and gentlemen..... THIS is your MAIN EVENT!! Huge roar from the crowd. Keith Williams: This match is scheduled for one fall and is for the UWL Queen of Wrestling World Championship!!! The referee holds up the QOW Title as cameras flash, reflecting off of it. Keith Wiliams: Introducing first, the challenger... From Austin, Texas.... Weighing in at 128 pounds... Representing ACE... FLAME PUPPY! The crowd errupts as Flame Puppy raises an arm, acknowledging the rowdy Portland fans. Keith Williams: And her opponent... From Sparta, Greece... Weighing in at 185 pounds... She is the current GPW Champion, and the defending UWL Queen of Wrestling World Champion... GAIA GALANOS! The crowd errupts, just as loudly as Gaia Galanos stares at Flame Puppy, cracking her knuckles. Frank Archer: These are two beloved wrestlers. Male or female. These are two fan favorites. Mac Raines: It's not a popularity contest though. This is a wrestling match, for a World Championship. Frank Archer: Yes, you said that already. DING DING!! As the bell sounds, no one sits down. Everyone is standing, being witnesses. Neither woman moves, as dueling chants break out. "Let's Go Gaia!" "Flame Pup-py!" "Let's Go Gaia!" "Flame Pup-py!" Mac Raines: This is awesome... Frank Archer: Indeed it is partner. The two wrestlers step out of their respective corners and Flame Puppy extends her hand for a handshake. Gaia doesn't return the favor. She shakes her head no, staring a hole through Flame Puppy. As Flame Puppy looks on, taken back by the gesture, Gaia Galanos extends her fist. The crowd cheers as Flame Puppy gives Gaia a smirk and gives her a fist bump. Frank Archer: That's a first. The two women circle the ring and tie up. Gaia shows her impressive strength by simply shoving Flame Puppy down. Puppy hits the mat hard, but stands back up. Gaia flexes and the crowd roars in approval. Mac Raines: WHAT A WOMAN! Flame Puppy is even impressed as she smiles while holding the back of her head. They tie up again, and Flame Puppy is a step quicker this time, and goes behind Gaia, and trips her up, dropping Gaia on her face. Before Gaia can get up, Flame Puppy drops a legdrop on her. Gaia Galanos rolls away to recover. Frank Archer: And Flame Puppy comes right back. Gaia Galanos is a complete athlete, but if there is something Flame Puppy can exploit, it would be quickness. Flame Puppy has the speed advantage. Gaia nods in approval of Flame Puppy's quickness. On the third tie up, Gaia goes behind Flame Puppy and takes her down the exact same way Flame Puppy took her down. Gaia Galanos exercises her amateur wrestling abilities and spins on top of Flame Puppy, applying a front face lock, and rolling her over with an alligator roll. A second one has them at the ropes, forcing a break. Mac Raines: That has to be demoralizing. Here Flame Puppy attempts to use speed, yet Gaia copies her move, does it faster, then rolls her around a few times before she knew what hit her. Frank Archer: There's a reason Gaia Galanos is considered the best overall wrestler in the UWL. Mac Raines: Because if you disagree, she'll snap you like a Slim Jim? Frank Archer: Well yeah, that too. Flame Puppy gets to her feet as Galanos gives her plenty of space. The two seem set on trying to out wrestle each other, as they lock into their fourth tie up. Gaia Galanos goes behind and applies a hammerlock on her challenger. Flame Puppy looks for an escape as Gaia torques on the arm. Gaia won't allow her to turn and counter the move. As Flame Puppy reaches back to try and grab Gaia, she inadvertently pokes Gaia in the eye. This takes Gaia back, as she is blinded. Mac Raines: Eye poke! Frank Archer: That was clearly an accident. Look, Flame Puppy refuses to follow up. Frank is right. Flame Puppy is clearly sorry for the poke as the ref checks on Gaia. The crowd respects Flame Puppys decision to not cash in the opportunity as Gaia shoves the ref out of the way, as if that was her way to say she's okay. Mac Raines: Why didn't she attack?! This is a championship match! Gaia and Flame Puppy tie up, and Gaia powers Flame Puppy to the corner. She breaks the tie up, but rocks Flame Puppy with a european uppercut. A second one has Flame Puppy rattled. Gaia irish whips Flame Puppy across the ring and to the opposite corner. Flame Puppy avoids the impact as she runs up the turnbuckle and springboards off, doing a perfect backflip. Galanos was charing behind her, and has to duck to avoid a collision. Flame Puppy lands on her feet but appears to have tweaked an ankle. She is hobbling as the ref checks on her. Frank Archer: Flame Puppy may have sprained her left ankle here partner. Gaia Galanos looks around, analyzing the situation. Flame Puppy is trying to put pressure on the leg, and the crowd gasps as Gaia Galanos strikes. She undercuts the injured leg from behind and Flame Puppy collapses. Galanos begins working the leg, as some fans even boo her. Frank Archer: What is this?! Mac Raines: This is a wrestling match Frankie! The Queen of Wrestling WORLD Title is on the line. It's the main event. This is war! Frank Archer: Be that as it may, that was wrong, after how Flame Puppy backed off when she was injured. Mac Raines: That's why Flame Puppy isn't the champion. Gaia Galanos continues the disection of the ankle, by applying an ankle lock, while wrapping her massive legs around Flame Puppy. Flame's scream lets you know exactly how the hold feels. She is desperate for an escape, but is in the center of the ring, and Gaia's strength is keeping her from crawling to the ropes. Mac Raines: This may be ending abruptly! Frank Archer: Gaia Galanos is twisting at the ankle, and Flame Puppy is in serious trouble. Flame Puppy knows she cannot make it to the ropes, but instead of tapping her hand to the mat, she taps her unlocked foot to the chest, stomach, and face of Galanos until the champion has no choice but to release the hold. Frank Archer: Flame Puppy escapes but the damage has been done. Mac Raines: And like a shark that smells blood, Gaia coldly stalks her prey. Gaia gets up, and takes her time as Flame Puppy crawls to the ropes to get to her feet. Gaia grabs the injured leg and lifts it up, making Flame Puppy bounce on one foot. Flame is swinging, hoping to hit a homerun shot, but her wingspan isn't quite long enough. Gaia strikes the ankle with her elbow. She wraps the ankle around her bicep and wails on it. Flame Puppy leaps off her good foot, and simply falls back. The momentum sends Gaia Galanos stumbling through the ropes and falling to the floor. Frank Archer: Finally, a chance for Flame Puppy to recover. Mac Raines: It's not gonna last long. Gaia's already up. Gaia stands up, rotating her shoulder after landing on it. She climbs back into the ring to continue her beating, but is greeted with a right hand that definitely sent a message. A message that she's here to FIGHT! Gaia checks her jaw then charges at Puppy, who ducks and connects a few forearm shots, rocking Gaia. A roundhouse kick sends Gaia stumbling back, against the ropes and to a knee. Puppy irish whips her, but Gaia easily reverses. Puppy hits the ropes and on the return, is one step ahead of Gaia. She takes Gaia down with a wheelbarrow bulldog, planting Gaia face first. Gaia holds her hand over her nose as she gets to her feet. Flame waits for her chance to strike and leaps. Gaia's instincts make her catch Flame Puppy, but that is what Flame was counting on. She sends Gaia down with a hurricanrana, and reaches back, grabbing a leg to pin... One... Two... Th-Kickout! Frank Archer: Near fall! Flame Puppy is heating up! Mac Raines: But how strong is that ankle right now? It could be broken! The two competitors reach their feet and Flame Puppy beats Gaia to the punch. Literally. Right shots stun Gaia and Flame Puppy leaps again for another hurricanrana. As the old saying goes, she went to the well one too many times. Gaia is ready this time and drops Flame Puppy with a thunderous sitout powerbomb. She demands the ref count... One... Two... T-Kickout! Mac Raines: So much power! Frank Archer: Along with her technical prowess, and raw strength, Gaia does her homework. She was ready, and knew exactly what to do. Gaia gets to her feet as Flame Puppy is trying to do the same. Now it's all Gaia. She wears down Flame Puppy with various leg submissions, meant to do nothing more than keep the injury fresh. Gaia knows Flame won't submit. Every time Flame Puppy starts to show a sign of life, Gaia is able to take her down. Finally, Gaia takes Flame Puppy down with a Regal Bomb and pins. One... Two... Thr-Kickout! Frank Archer: The crowd is trying to will Flame Puppy back into this match, but it's been all Gaia Galanos for the last 7 minutes or so. Mac Raines: You hear that? It's Flame Puppy's fire dying out. Frank Archer: She's still got fight in her. Gaia brings Flame Puppy up by the hair and puts her in the corner. She wraps the injured ankle around the middle rope and pulls at the ankle, showing creativity. This is illegal, with Flame Puppy being in the ropes, so the ref demands a release. Gaia obliges, but then takes a free shot at the ankle. Frank Archer: Gaia is simply ruthless tonight. Flame Puppy gets out of the corner and cannot put pressure of any kind on the leg. Gaia grabs the leg and trips Flame Puppy. Gaia goes for a figure four as a loud "WOOOO" breaks out in the crowd. Flame Puppy is able to counter! She uses her other foot to shove Gaia off as she spins. Gaia is sent head first into the turnbuckle. She stumbles back right into the waiting arms of Flame Puppy who desperately rolls Gaia up! Frank Archer: One! Two! Mac Raines: She kicked out! Phew! Could you imagine if THAT'S how she lost? Gaia quickly gets up and stomps on Flame Puppy, who couldn't even get back to her feet. Gaia is wrestling a perfect match. But everyone makes a mistake here and there. Gaia's mistake in this match was to suddenly go away from the strategy. After Flame Puppy was sent through the ropes and to the floor, Gaia attempts a suicide dive. It's not that Flame Puppy ducked. It's that she collapsed. Her ankle gave way and she went down just in time for Gaia to fly over her and smack her head on the guardrail, sending it to the knees of the front row fans. Mac Raines: WHAT!?! Frank Archer: Luck was on Flame Puppy's side there. Mac Raines: Gaia may be knocked out cold! The referee begins a ten count... A slow ten count too. Flame Puppy rolls into the ring, moving her ankle around. The ref continues the count, but Flame Puppy knows she can't win the title this way. She tells the ref to stop, which only makes him start over. Finally, she rolls out of the ring and tries dragging Gaia Galanos back into the ring. She FINALLY does so, and Gaia is beginning to come to life. Gaia is up as Flame Puppy gets in, but she is wobbly after the miscue. She swings at Flame Puppy, and Flame ducks. She ducks again, and connects a dropkick. Mac Raines: That wasn't the best move to try in her condition. Frank Archer: But Gaia isn't all here right now! Gaia charges at Flame Puppy, who takes her up and over with a judo throw. A second judo throw. Gaia is up and retreats to the corner. Flame Puppy is up and is fired up! She screams and charges right at Gaia and connects a running knee strike. The impact brings Gaia zombie walking out of the corner, and Flame Puppy drops her with a Dragon Suplex! She pins! One... Two... Thr-Kickout! Frank Archer: Oh so close! Mac Raines: That was almost three Frankie! Flame Puppy, with adrenaline carrying her on, works over Gaia. Galanos, desperate to create space, simply throws Flame Puppy out of the ring. But Flame Puppy hooked onto the ropes, landing on the apron. She sprints up the top rope and leaps off, crashing onto Gaia with a crossbody! One... Two... Th-Kickout! Mac Raines: She's relentless! Frank Archer: Flame Puppy wanted everyone to know she's here to fight. To win. Flame and Gaia are up. Gaia locks Puppy into a headlock, but Flame Puppy uses the ropes to shove her off. Gaia hits the ropes and drops Flame with a shoulder block. Flame Puppy immediately kips up and shocks EVERYONE with a hurricanrana out of it! Mac Raines: How the? What the? Huh?! Frank Archer: Unbelievable! And she's making the pin! One... Two... Thre-Kickout! Frank Archer: Three! Mac Raines: No she kicked out Frankie! Flame Puppy waits for the right moment, and hits the ropes. Unfortunately Gaia Galanos catches her, scooping her off the mat and driving her down with a pendulum backbreaker. Mac Raines: And just like that... The run is over. Gaia takes a deep breath, knowing she survived the storm. She takes Flame Puppy down once more. This time with a double underhook suplex, before pinning. One... Two... Th-Kickout! Gaia looks at Flame Puppy, wondering what it will take to put her away. She grabs the hurt ankle of Flame Puppy, which immediately causes Flame Puppy to squirm. As she tries to escape, Gaia clutches the ankle. She punches the ankle, then tries setting her up for the Galanos Clutch, but Flame Puppy is able to squirm to the ropes before it's locked on. Frank Archer: Flame Puppy knew that it would be over if the Galanos Clutch was locked in. Flame Puppy crawls to the apron, creating space. Gaia calmly walks over to her, but Flame Puppy grabs Gaia by the back of the head and drops her throat first across the top rope. With Gaia stunned, Flame Puppy springboards into the ring, over the top rope, and brings everyone to their feet with an Ace Crusher! Mac Raines: Holy shit! Frank Archer: Flame Puppy continues to pull out all the stops tonight! Mac Raines: Frankie, maybe she is the ONE to actually beat Gaia! Flame Puppy doesn't go for the pin. She knows it's now or never and sits up, pointing at the turnbuckle. Flame Puppy slowly crawls to the apron and begins the long journey to the turnbuckle. The ankle is giving her fits, but the crowd keeps her going. "IHOP DROP! IHOP DROP!" Mac Raines: She shouldn't be trying this. This is a mistake Frankie. Finally, Flame Puppy reaches the top, and points down at Gaia before leaping off with the IHOP Drop! Frank Archer: IHOP DROP! Mac Raines: She missed! Gaia Galanos rolls out of the way just in time and Flame Puppy hits nothing but canvas. The air is sucked out of the arena as Flame Puppy is down and hurt. Galanos brings herself to her feet as Puppy tries to do the same. Suddenly, within a blink of the eye, Galanos hits the Seismos Strike (Knee Trembler) and immediately follows with her deadly Brainbuster. Gaia pins... One... Two... Three!!! DING DING DING!!! Mac Raines: It's over! I told you it was a mistake! "Strength of a Thousand Men" plays as the referee holds Gaia's hand up in victory. Keith Williams: Here is your winner... And STILL UWL Queen of Wrestling World Champion.... GAIA GALANOS!! Gaia is given her Championship as she looks down at Flame Puppy. The crowd is applauding the instant classic match as the music continues. Frank Archer: Flame Puppy gave it EVERYTHING she possibly could. Mac Raines: Yeah but it wasn't enough. Gaia has now proven there's no woman that can beat her. Gaia struggles to get to her feet, but does so and holds the title high as the crowd has somewhat forgiven her for her tactics earlier in the contest. The referee is attending to Flame Puppy and Galanos sees this. The music suddenly stops as Galanos shoves the referee out of the way. Mac Raines: Uh oh... With fear in her eyes, knowing she is defenseless, Flame Puppy looks up at Gaia, who hovers over her like a titan. Then the crowd roars as Gaia extends her hand to Flame Puppy. After a moment, Flame half-smiles and extends hers as Galanos helps Flame Puppy to her feet. Frank Archer: Well look at that. Flame Puppy is standing, with the assistance of Gaia and the ropes. The two are talking as Gaia's music plays again. A quick embracing hug between the two has the entire arena applauding, before Flame Puppy raises Gaia's hand in victory. Frank Archer: What class by these two athletes! Flame Puppy then leaves the ring, applauding Gaia before turning and limping down the aisleway, where officials meet her to help her to the back. Frank Archer: Ladies and gentlemen, tonight was historic. A night we will never forget. Join us next time, for Spring stampede on May 2nd. For Mac Raines, I'm Frank Archer, saying goodnight from Portland, Oregon. The final shot is Gaia Galanos on the turnbuckle, holding her Queen of Wrestling World Title high in the air, with the crowd cheering her on... Fade to black... ------------------------------------- |
