"The Beginning is the End is the Beginning"by Smashing Pumpkins begins to play and the camera opens up on Times Square.

The camera zooms in on James Stall who is sitting at a table reading a copy of the New York Times and eating a Cinnamon Stick as tourists walk by him. He looks down at his watch, sets down the paper, and makes his way to the nearest Subway station.

The camera cuts to inside the E train where the Warped Tag Team Champions, Carnival Connection, are moshing around in the crowd. Mr. Rottentreats and Sir Douglass Fresh bounce off of each other again and again until the subway doors open up and they fall to the platform. As they scramble to their feet Evan Envi walks past them with his headphones on and his head down.

The camera cuts to upstairs where Gryphon and Sabra Nikolayev can be seen exiting Penn Station. Gryphon and one arm around Sabra’s waist, and in his other hand he carries a kendo stick. The pair meet Brad Jackson outside. He gives them a curt nod, and the trio makes their way to the main entrance of Madison Square Garden.

The camera zooms out to a wide shot of the Garden.

And it cuts inside to the New Era locker room where Tombstone and Wildebeest are doing pushups before their respective matches. Bombtrack walks into the room, and Tombstone stands up. Bombtrack offers his hand and Tombstone shakes it.

In contrast the three representatives from CPW, Solidus Filth, Mr. Abraham, and Francisco Lopez, all sit at opposite corners of their locker room trying not to make eye contact.

The camera pulls out into the hallway where all four members of the APW Brand Warfare match almost run into each other. They exchange a few words and head bobs before each continuing on their way. Terry Marvin nearly trips over Tim Tebow who has decided that this is a great time to stop and pray down on one knee.

As Terry rights himself and continues onward, the Trainer’s room door opens and inside is Kurt Noble getting a final check over before his match tonight. Kurt flexes his leg and takes a handful of Ibuprofen as the door closes again.

The camera cuts to the bowels of Madison Square Garden where a crowd of men in hoods gather together with candles in their hands. One man stands in front of them. He throws back his hood to reveal that he is none other than Doug E Fresh. The camera zooms in on his face before cutting to the Cell hanging above the ring.

The New York City crowd cheers as fireworks explode along the entrance ramp. Several signs can be seen including “James Who?” and “I Wanna Buy A Vowel”. As the camera goes past more people in the front row we see see several fans in t-shirts supporting their favorite wrestlers including “Rage Against the Suplex Machine” and “Feel the Sting of the Scorpio”.

“Fly Me to the Moon” by Frank Sinatra plays and Bobbie Hearst, co-owner of Visionary Wrestling Incorporated steps out onto the entrance ramp.

Bobbie
Ladies and Gentlemen, it is an honor to be here in the world’s most famous arena, celebrating Visionary Wrestling Incorporated first ever show here with this wonderful New York City crowd.

Bobbie receives a loud pop from the fans.

Bobbie
Ya know, when I was younger I used to dream of performing in this place. Well, I’m a little too old for that now, but I can still do something I’ve always wanted to do, and that’s bring you great fans one of the most memorable nights of wrestling you will ever experience. You see, it’s always been a dream of mine to be in the wrestling business, and since I’ve been lucky enough to live my dream, I wanted to pay it forward to all of your great fans and the talent we have here tonight. That’s why we’ve gone through great lengths to put together such blockbuster matches. We have matchups you’d never thought you’d see. Showcase matches featuring some impressive talent from our affiliate companies, and, in our main event, we celebrate another chapter in one of wrestling’s most storied rivalries when Kurt Noble and Doug E. Fresh fight inside Hell in a Cell.

The fans erupt in applause at the mention of tonight’s main event.

Bobbie
So I hope you all have a wonderful time tonight. And welcome to Showcase Zero!

“Fly Me to the Moon” plays and Bobbie Hearst steps back behind the curtain as the audience applauds. The camera then cuts over to the announce table and Daniel Johnson and Chrissy Day.

Daniel
Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen, that’s right. Tonight marks a historic occasion here in the world’s most historic arena as we here at Visionary Wrestling Incorporated bring you Showcase Zero. I’m Daniel Johnson and with me tonight, for the first time, is my broadcast partner Christina Day.

Chrissy
WHOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Daniel
Miss Day, how are you this evening?

Chrissy
Oh, you can just call me, Chrissy. All my friends do.

Daniel
Sure thing… Chrissy. And you can call me Daniel

Chrissy
Sure thing, Danny! I’m just so excited to be here. Can’t wait for the show to get started.

Daniel
We have started.


Chrissy
Oh! Am I on camera right now?

Chrissy looks right at the camera and waves frantically.

Chrissy
Hi mom! Hi dad! Hi Mike! Cindy! Ken! Cheryl! Love you!

Daniel
That’s… great.

Chrissy
Oh, come on Mr. Grumpypants. We’ve got a big night tonight.


Daniel sighs.

Daniel
Indeed.

Chrissy
We’ve got so many great wrestlers competing tonight. And Tim Tebow’s here! Aren’t you excited?

Daniel
Certainly.

Chrissy
You don’t sound so-

Daniel
You know, we still have to introduce our first special guest for the evening. Why don’t we do that?

Chrissy
Yay!

Daniel
We give you our ring announcer, Mr. Ralph Hartley.

Hartley
Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome at this time, tonight’s special guest commentator….


“This is Extreme” by Harry Slash begins to play, and Sam Strachon makes his onto the entrance ramp.

Hartley
From Weston-super-Mare, England, he is the former commentator for UCW and FWF and current commentator for New Wave Wrestling, former UCW World Heavyweight and Tag Team Champion, and former SCW Hardcore Champion, the Voice of a Generation, the man, the myth, the hardcore legend...Sam Strachon!


Sam makes his way to the ring. He stops to sign a few autographs for fans without them asking. Sam simply pulls out a sharpie from his suit jacket and signs whatever they are holding. He accidently tears a sign that reads “Came out East for the Wildebeest” as he rips it out of a child’s hands and autographs it. At one point Sam goes to sign a woman’s breasts, but she pulls away in disgust. He goes to do it again, but she slaps him, and Sam drops his sharpie into crowd. With no sharpie left, Sam shrugs his shoulders and heads toward the announce table. Once there he slips on his headset.

Strachon
Good evening everybody!

Daniel
It’s nice to have you-

Strachon
Listen to that crowd! My people, they love me, all my people.

Daniel
Well it’s great to have you here, Samuel.

Strachon
Please. Call me Sam. Everybody else does.

Daniel
Alright, Sam. I’m Daniel Johnson.

Strachon
That’s great, Dan. Boy. What a great crowd tonight. It’s been a while since I’ve been in the Garden. I called FWF’s Genesis Six right here when Pain, Predator, and Dan the Dragon Taylor tore it up over the FWF World Heavyweight Championship. I didn’t think I’d ever experience a night as memorable as that here again, but I tell you this one feels special. The card is stacked and this crowd is electric.

Daniel
They certainly are, Sam, and we’ve got a number of great matches tonight including-

Strachon
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Haven’t you ever done an intro vamp before? We’ve already wasted enough of these people’s time. Let’s get to the first match. We’ll hype the others later.

Chrissy
Boy, you’re good at this.

Strachon
I know, babe.


New Era vs. New Wave
James Stall vs. Marcus Thomas Brody


"Shoot to Thrill" by AC/DC begins to play and James Stall enters as his orange pyro goes off. He is wearing his beat up leather jacket and his New Era World Heavyweight Championship aroudn his waist. James climbs into the ring, takes his leather jacket off and drops it over the ropes. He hands the title to the referee and poses for the crowd as they give him a heavily mixed reaction.

Hartley
Ladies and Gentlemen, from New York City, New York, representing New Era, their World Heavyweight Champion... James Stall!

Strachon
And here he is, James Stall, New Era World Heavyweight Champion, and my close personal friend.


"Cum on Feel the Noize" blares out of the arena speakers. The crowd cheers as MTB charges through the curtain with his arms out. He turns his back to the ring and points to the letters on his blazer before turning back and heading down the ramp, slapping hands. He leaps onto the apron and salutes the crowd while holding on to the top rope. He steps in, runs across the ring, bounces against the ropes and slides on his knees to a loud cheer before jumping up with a fist raised.

Hartley
And his opponent, from Manchester England, representing New Wave... Marcus Thomas Brody, MTB!

Strachon
Here's one of the most underappreciated wrestlers in the business. If you don't know his name you will soon. He's the son of the Human Suplex Machine, Marcus Brody Sr., another close personal friend.

Chrissy
Wow, you're lucky, having so many friends.

Strachon
Yes I am.

The bell rings and Stall and Brody lock up. Stall immediately shoves Brody to the ground but Brody rolls back to his feet, and the two men lock up again. This time Brody slips behind Stall and gets him in position for a German suplex. Stall elbows him away and Brody staggers backward. Stall goes for a mulekick, but Brody catches Stall’s leg and takes him down into an anklelock. Stall quickly rolls over and kicks Brody away. Stall climbs to his feet, and Brody runs at him, but Stall takes Stall down with a clothesline. Brody quickly kips up and turns around, ready to lock up with Stall again.

Strachon
Back and forth action to start this match.

Dan
Stall has the power. Brody has the technical ability. Truly this is a clash of styles.

Chrissy
And they’re both pretty cute.


Stall runs at Brody again for another clothesline. This time MTB ducks the clothesline and hooks Stall with a German suplex. Stall rolls over and climbs to his feet, Brody is quick to catch him with a snap suplex. Stall grabs the ropes, pulls himself up. Brody hits Stall with a dropkick that sends Stall over the ropes, but he manages to stay on the apron. He goes to climb back into the ring, but Brody kicks Stall in the stomach before bringing him back into the ring with a suplex. MTB lifts Stall up and nails him with a Fisherman Suplex.

Chrissy
What a move by Marcus Thomas Brody.

Strachon
And that move is?

Chrissy


Strachon
Dan?

Daniel
Well…

Strachon
BUZZZ Time’s up. Fisherman Suplex. We were looking for Fisherman Suplex. It’s a variation of a normal suplex, something Brody is well versed in since he’s the Son of the Human Suplex Machine.

Daniel
No need to make us look bad, Sam.

Strachon
I consider it a teaching moment.


Brody picks Stall up for another suplex, but Stall hits him with a European Uppercut before picking him up and into a Scoop Slam. Brody turns over onto all fours, and Stall drives his knee into Brody’s skull. Brody collapses to the mat, and Stall follows up with a legdrop. Stall wastes no time and picks Brody up and into a gorilla press position. He quickly hits MTB with a gorilla press gutbuster followed by a fall away slam that sends Brody across the ring. Brody hits the canvas and rolls below the ring ropes and onto the floor below.

Strachon
Stall just threw Brody out of the ring.

Daniel
Stall is like a young Hercules or the titan Atlas.

Chrissy
He’s also really, really strong.


Stall climbs under the ropes and stands on the apron. As Marcus gets up, Stall jumps off the apron and connects with an axe handle. He picks Brody up and whips him into the steel ring steps. 1…. Brody gets up, but Stall nails him with a big boot. 2….. Stall picks Brody up and whips him against the announce table. He goes to slam Brody’s head against the table. 3…. 4…. But Brody counters with an elbow and drives Stall’s head against the table instead.

Chrissy
They might break out table!

Strachon
Except it’s the first match, so they won’t.


Brody grabs Stall around the waist and hits him with a German suplex. 5….. Stall gets to his feet, but Brody quickly drills Stall against the ring apron. 6…. Brody hits Stall with a hard chop to the chest, then a second. 7…. He rolls Stall into ring, keeping Stall’s head outside the ropes. MTB hits Stall in the face with an elbow. 8…. He hits the back of Stall’s head with a knee and shoves him all the way into the ring. He hits Stall with a standing elbow drop and then hooks Stall’s leg.

1….


2- Stall kicks out at one and a half.

Strachon
Easy kick out from Stall.

Daniel
Now tell me if I’m wrong, Sam, but this seems a little early for Brody to be going for a pinfall.

Strachon
It’s not always about getting the win, Dan. Sometimes it’s just about letting your opponent know “Hey, I’m controlling this match right now.”


MTB picks James up and irish whips him across the ring. As Stall bounces off the ropes, Brody catches him and goes for a powerslam, but Stall keeps his feet planet. He hooks Brody’s head and nails him with a swinging neckbreaker. He mounts Brody and begins delivering a series of punches before Brody catches his hands. He manages to put Stall and an armbar, but Stall rolls out of the move. He lifts Brody up and into an STO.

Strachon
Brody takes a turn dominating. Stall gains control again. Back and forth, back and forth.

Daniel
Like the constantly changing tides of the ocean.

Chrissy
Or a seesaw!


Stall drops down and puts Brody in a headlock, but Brody easily manages to get out of the move, and both men climb to their feet. Brody grabs Stall and goes for a Belly to Belly suplex, but Stall reverses it into a Belly to Belly Suplex of his own. He lifts Stall up and into a Sidewalk slam. Before covering him.

1…..


2- Brody kicks out.

Daniel
And now it’s James Stall’s turn to say “I’m winning now.”

Strachon
There ya go.


Stall goes to pick Brody up, but Brody quickly rolls Stall up into a small package.

1….


2….


Stall kicks out.

Strachon
MTB almost had him with that move.

Chrissy
Sneaky!


Stall grabs Brody by the throat at lifts him off the mat and into the air for a chokeslam, but Brody kicks Stall in the stomach and lands on his fit. He hooks Stall and nails a DDT. Brody circles around James and grabs him from behind and picks him up and into a German suplex. He lifts Stall up again and switches positions. This time he’s in front of Stall and hits him with a Belly to Belly suplex into a grounded bearhug.

Daniel
Marcus Thomas Brody seems to have James in a powerful hold.

Strachon
It’s not just any hold. That’s MTB’s submission finisher, the MTBearhug. It’s simply and effective. Right now Brody is squeezing the life out of Stall.

Chrissy
Oh no. I don’t want Stall to die!


Stall struggles and reaches out his hands toward the ropes, but Brody pulls him away and squeezes tightly. He’s putting an immense amount of pressure on Stall’s bad ribs. Stall tries to free himself, but Brody keeps the bearhug locked in tight. Stall fights his way forehead, and, after a second effort, he manages to grab the bottom rope. 1… Brody lets the hold go.

Daniel
Stall narrowly escapes the dangerous hold, but one has to ask: Is the damage done?


Stall struggles to climb to his feet, and Brody kicks him in the stomach before hitting him with a Powerslam. Brody picks Stall up again and starts to lock in the Preysnatcher (Tazmission), but before he brings down Stall to the mat he hits the Su-Prey (Tazplex). He covers.

1…..



2…..



3- Stall gets a shoulder up.

Strachon
That move was taught to MTB by the legendary Predator.

Daniel
But it wasn’t enough to put Stall away this time.

Chrissy
Looked pretty painful though.


Brody picks Stall up and lifts him into the air. He holds him there before hitting the delayed suplex. He keeps the hold locked, turns Stall over and hits him with a second suplex. He picks Stall up again and nails a third suplex. Brody hooks the leg.


1….



2….



3- No! Stall kicks out.

Chrissy
Oh! Almost!


Brody picks Stall up for a forth suplex, but Stall kicks Brody in the stomach and nails a Sergeant Spinebuster!

Strachon
Little old school from Stall. That was one of his grandfather’s signatures.


Stall lifts Brody up and into a T-Bone Suplex. He keeps the hold locked and powers up and into a second suplex.

Strachon
And here’s something Stall’s learned since his last meeting with Brody. He calls this the Shoot to Thrill.

Stall hits a third T-Bone Suplex and hooks Brody’s leg.

1….



2…..



3!

NO! Brody kicks out.

Daniel
And Marcus Thomas Brody narrowly avoids losing this match.

Strachon
And we miss out on the irony of the Son of the Suplex Machine being beaten by a move involving suplexes.


Brody goes to pick Stall up, but Stall catches him by the throat. He then climbs to his feet and lifts Brody with a chokeslam.

Chrissy
OH!


Stall lifts Brody up and throws him against the turnbuckle. He pauses, grips his ribs, and takes a moment to catch his breathe before running and hitting Brody with a splash. Stall collapses to one knee and grabs at his rib again before driving his shoulder into MTB’s sternum. He then steps onto the turnbuckle. He begins to pull MTB onto the top turnbuckle with him and lifts him up for a top rope brainbuster.

Strachon
MTB is about to be Stalled.


But Brody manages to grab Stall and push himself up. He flips over Stall’s shoulders and lands on his feet.

Daniel
That is a supreme display of athleticism by Marcus Thomas Brody.


Brody takes out Stall’s legs, and James falls into the tree of woe. Brody takes a step back and begins playing air guitar.

Strachon
Here’s the air guiter.

Chrissy
I like his moves.

Strachon
Then you’re going to love what comes next.


Brody runs and does a knee slide right into James Stall’s face.

Strachon
That’s the MTB Special. And it can only mean one thing.


Stall falls off the turnbuckle, and Brody lifts him into a German Suplex. Lifts him into a Fisherman Brainbuster and then flips him off into a snap suplex pin.

Strachon
The Son of the Suplex Machine hits the Suplex Machine!


1……




2…..




3!

Strachon
Brody wins! Brody wins!

Hartley
Here’s your win, Marcus Thomas Brody… MTB!

Daniel
What a huge upset victory for Marcus Thomas Brody over the New Era World Champion.

Strachon
And we’ve still got plenty of matches to go tonight.

Chrissy
I can’t wait!

‘Living in Chaos’ fills the arena and the familiar figure of SCW GM Dorling appears. Wearing his customary black suit/gold crown combo, he enjoys the cheers of the crowd, interacting with many of them as he makes his way to the ring and even giving one a comical telling off as they try to take the crown from his head. He climbs into the ring and is passed a microphone.

Dorling
Well isn’t this impressive? The first ever Visionary Wrestling Show!

The crowd respond with excitement and cheers.

Dorling
I’m very happy to have my federation, Sin City Wrestling involved in this, and I’m sure that we will forge a productive partnership in the months and years to come. I would say ‘good luck’ to all of the members of my roster competing tonight, but personally I’m more than aware that some of them could do with being taken down a peg or two!

With that in mind, I am of course here to make everybody aware of how awesome SCW is, and to shill the crap out of my next PPV event! That event is:


Posted Image

That’s right! Jackpot! Not only will this PPV feature our usual array of glittering talents and spectacular matches, it has the match that is exclusive to SCW – the Jackpot match!

The Jackpot match is an over the top rope match where multiple combatants will be in the ring at the same time fighting amongst one another. Eliminations can be gained via throwing an opponent over the top rope. When an elimination occurs, the individual eliminated can get back into the ring and continue fighting. Eliminations do not matter until the 8, 18, and 28 minute marks of the 30 minute match.

At the 8, 18, and 28 minute marks, a competitor will be selected at random from the 10 combatants in the ring. The individual selected must avoid getting eliminated for two minutes after being selected. If successful, that individual will earn a shot at the SCW Global, United or Bernie’s Strip Club and Grill. During those two minutes, if you are not the individual selected but are eliminated, you are eliminated for the remainder of the two minutes and cannot continue to fight for the prize at stake. If the person selected is eliminated, it will be whoever eliminated them that will take their prize.

The title shots themselves are revealed on the following episode of Wildcard in an extravagant briefcase themed ceremony. In the coming weeks, we will have several qualifier matches to determine entrance into the Jackpot match. It has long been a tradition that some superstars pull double duty at Jackpot, and it is anticipated that this year will be no different!

So there you have it! One of the most exciting matches there is to look forward to, but before then we have a hell of a show to finish here, so make some noise for Visionary Wrestling because you will NOT be disappointed with what’s coming next!


‘Living in Chaos’ hits the PA and Dorling takes his leave, once again slapping hands and posing for photos with the fans as he departs.


Strachon
Alright, Jackpot!

Daniel
I see you're looking forward to watching that match, Sam.

Strachon
Watching it? I'm gonna be in it. That's right Sam Strachon, Hardcore Champion, soon to be Global Champion. #SaveTheDate.

Chrissy
Well this show has been really great so far. I can't believe it's only just started.

Strachon
Later tonight we'll have the Warped Tag Team titles on the line, and Tombstone will defend his undefeated streaks among other great matches.

Daniel
In our main event one of apparently wrestlings greatest feuds will open a new chapter as Doug E Fresh takes on Kurt Noble in Hell in a Cell.

Strachon
But first we have some free agents looking to impress potential employers.


Free Agent Match: Hope Gallaway vs. Kaliente vs. Guy Van Saint vs. Moxie

Hartley
The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is the Free Agent Match! Introducing first, from Lawton Oklahoma and weighing in tonight at 113 pounds ... HOPE GALLAWAY!!

"Quiet" by Lights starts playing over the PA as she walks out as her music begins playing. She nervously walks toward the ring, keeping her head down to keep from getting embarrassed.

Daniel
If I'm reading these notes correctly this is Hope Galloway's first match.

Chrissy
That's so cool, I'm excited for her!

Strachon
This Free Agent match looks like it could shape up to be really interesting. Or a #Trainwreck. Just saying.

Hartley
And her first opponent, from New York City New York and weighing in at 235 pounds he is That Guy ... GUY VAN SAINT!!

"Sing Sing Sing" by Benny Goodman comes over the speakers and Guy comes through the curtain smiling suavely at the ladies in the audience. He goes up the ringsteps with a snap in his step and gestures grandly before moving to his corner.

Daniel
I think my grandfather was conceived while this song was playing.

Chrissy
Ew Daniel. I think its perky!

Strachon
Not the only perky thing in attendance here in Madison Square Garden.

Hartley
And their opponent, from Amityville New York and weighing in tonight at 193 pounds ... MOXIE!!

As we pan around the arena we hear the opening intro to "Paint It Black" by VersaEmerge begin the play, as we hear the drums pound for a few seconds we watch as the arena slowly dims before the strobe lights flash silver and purple around the arena. As the vocals kick in we watch as Moxie makes his way through the crowd, laughing as he spins around to see the crowd before hopping the barrier. Once at ringside we watch as Moxie walks up the ring steps and enters the ring, walking in a circle before dropping into a corner and laughing hysterically as he sits Indian style while he waits for the match to start.

Daniel
Dammit a clown.

Chrissy
Why did it have to be a clown ... clowns are scary! Worse than bugs!

Strachon
Oh come on it can't be that bad. Okay no, I think he winked at me. #Gross

Kaliente starts to come out for the match. He doesn’t have entrance music because he didn’t bother to fill out his profile. He doesn’t need it though because he is immediately attacked by a monkey. The monkey jumps on top of Kaliente and begins smacking him on the back of the head.

Daniel
What is that?

Strachon
It’s Hardcore Monkey!

Chrissy
How cute!

Strachon
That monkey’s not cute. It’s HARDCORE!

Kaliente throws Hardcore Monkey back behind the curtain, but Monkey comes back with his cricket bat and takes out Kaliente’s legs. He smacks Kaliente in the head a few times before grabbing Kaliente’s boot and dragging him backstage.

Strachon
May God have mercy on that man’s soul.

Chrissy
Well, I guess we’re going to have this match with just these three.

The bell rings and the three wrestlers stare at each other.

Hope takes a step backward and Moxie and Guy Van Saint lock up with each other. Guy pulls Moxie into a headlock, but Moxie hits Guy with a knee to the face. Moxie and Guy exchange punches and then lock up again. Hope looks like she’s going to do something, but she takes another step back as Guy floors Moxie with a European Uppercut. Hope steps up to Guy. She looks like she’s about to slap him, but she turns and walks back to turnbuckle.

Daniel
Hope Gallway seems quite timid right now.

Strachon
Can’t win the match if you’re afraid to hit somebody.

Moxie takes advantage of the distracted Van Saint and rolls him up.

1….




2…..


Guy kicks out.

Strachon
You also can’t allow yourself to be distracted.

Moxie picks Guy up and goes to hit him with a suplex, but Guy reverses the move into a neckbreaker. Quickly hits a legdrop. He quickly hooks the leg.

1….


Moxie easily kicks out.

Strachon
What is Guy Van Saint doing going for that pin so early?

Daniel
you say-

Strachon
I know what I said, but that one was a rookie mistake.

Guy picks Moxie up, but Moxie quickly knocks him away. The two men grapple and this time Moxie hits Guy with the Boiled Eggs (a cravat into a double knee facebuster). He quickly jumps to his feet and goes for a double legdrop, but Guy rolls out of the way. Moxie stands and Guy takes out his legs. He quickly applies a headlock, but Moxie flips out of the move. Both men get to their feet. They grapple and Guy hits Moxie with a suplex. Guy stands up, but he is soon hit with a dropkick by Hope Gallaway.

Strachon
And Hope Gallaway finally joins the fray.

Chrissy
I love her shoes.

Moxie climbs to his feet and yanks Hope by her hair. He goes for a reverse suplex, but Hope lands on her feet. She kicks Moxie in the shin and then hits him with a running bulldog. Moxie gets to his feet and staggers around, and Hope quickly locks him in a sleeperhold. When it doesn’t look like Moxie is going to tap, Hope quickly hits him with a reverse DDT before hitting a standing moonsault into the cover.


1….



2….


Moxie kicks out.

Daniel
Hope Gallaway has some lightning fast moves, but Moxie fights on.

Strachon
Moxie’s got moxie. Lolz.

Hope picks Moxie up, but Moxie hits her with a punch to the stomach before hooking he with a DDT. He then lifts her up and into a double arm suplex. Without hesitation, Moxie grabs Hope from behind and picks her up. She tries to kick away but Moxie hits her with a Cobra Clutch suplex. Hope lays flat on the mat. Moxie looks to end the match by picking Hope up and hitting The Big Top, a swinging leghook Fireman carry slam.

Strachon
Big Top!

Chrissy
This could be it.

Strachon
Way to jinx it.

Moxie covers.

1…



2….



Guy Van Saint grabs Moxie’s leg and pulls him off of Hope. He proceeds to pull Moxie out of the ring. Guy then tosses Moxie against the announce table.

Chrissy
Ah!

Strachon
What?

Chrissy
I’m afraid of clowns.

Guy drives Moxie’s head against the table.

Chrissy
AH!

Guy throws Moxie against the apron and then hits a reverse suplex. He then slides back into the ring, but he is quickly hit by a dropkick from Hope. He rolls to his feet, but Hope catches him with an armbar.

Daniel
And Hope has the hold locked in.

Strachon
It’s an armbar.

Chrissy
It doesn’t look so bad.

Strachon
If she wanted to she could break Guy’s arm like a twig.

Chrissy
Oh. That’s bad.

Hope wrenches Guy’s arm, but the moment he screams in pain she releases and holds her hands to her face.

Strachon
Oh come on! You had him. Way to wimp out.

Chrissy
Be nice, Sam.

Guy climbs to his feet, and Hope starts apologizing to him. She fusses over him, and, after making sure his arm is okay, she hits him with the Butterfly Wings (Lifting Doubleunderhook Facebuster). But the shock is too much for her, and she can’t bring herself to cover. Instead, she sits on the mat with her hands to her face, and Moxie slides into the ring. Upon seeing the downed Van Saint, Moxie makes the cover.

1….



2….


Hope pushes Moxie off of Guy.

Daniel
Hope Galloway might not have been able to make herself pin Guy Van Saint, but she’s not going to let Moxie pick up the win.

Hope and Moxie get to their feet. Hope looks down at Guy and then back up at Moxie who hits her with the Head On Collision (Inverted Stomp Facebuster). He sees Guy starting to stand and hits him with the Big Top!

Strachon
And now she’s got no choice.

Moxie hooks Guy’s leg.

1….




2…..



3!

Daniel
Moxie wins.

Chrissy
Poor Hope. She almost won.

Strachon
But she couldn’t pull the trigger.

Hartley
Here’s your winner… Moxie.

Chrissy
Great. Can we get the creepy clown out of here now?

Strachon
We’ll have more in ring action coming up.

The camera shifts backstage to the dressing room of none other than The Herald of Holiness herself, Ascension Championship Wrestling International Champion Reya Serra, who is seen sitting uncharacteristically alone in a chair putting the final touches on her preparation for her upcoming match. Suddenly, to her surprise, there is a knock at the door to the dressing room. Reya gets to her feet and walks over to the door, opening it to reveal none other than New York Jets backup quarterback Tim Tebow!

Reya Serra
Mister Tebow...I...I...

Tim Tebow
I’m sorry Reya, did I come at a bad time?

Reya shakes her head in response.

Reya Serra
No no...it is quite alright. Please, come in.

She steps aside allowing Tebow to enter the dressing room and shutting the door behind him.

Reya Serra
To what do I owe this visit Mister Tebow?

Tebow flashes his bright cheesy smile as he waves his hand at her slightly.

Tim Tebow
You are far too formal, Reya. Please, call me Tim.

Reya Serra
Okay, Mister...I mean Tim.

The two have a little laugh as Reya questions him once more.

Reya Serra
So why have you come to see me tonight, Tim?

Tim Tebow
Well, I heard that you’ve got a big match coming up here in a little while...

Reya nods at him, beaming with a confident smile.

Reya Serra
Indeed I do. I am about to face the wealthy C.J. Gates, the masked Akuma, the strange Hugo Strange, and my good friend Matthew Slater. It is quite an important match, one that I fully intend to win.

Tim Tebow
I see...well, I was just wondering if before your match you would perhaps like to join with me in a prayer?

The face of The Herald lights up at this suggestion as she nods in response.

Reya Serra
I would love that, Tim.

Tebow smiles back at her as he extends his hands to Reya. She puts her hands in his as they both bow their heads and close their eyes, beginning to pray.

Tim Tebow
Dear Heavenly Father, we come to you tonight seeking strength for your humble servant Reya as she goes into the difficult match you have set before her...

Suddenly, the door to the dressing room flies open startling Tebow and Reya. They quickly halt their prayer as they open their eyes and turn them to the door, where Paxar Vega stands appearing to be in total surprise.

Paxar Vega
What in the name of The Doctor is going on here, Reya? I leave you alone for five minutes to go and chug a soda and when I come back you’re holding hands with some random dude?

Reya Serra
Actually, we were praying...

Tim Tebow
Also, I’m not just some random guy. I play quarterback for the Jets. My name’s...

Putting her hand up, Paxar interrupts him.

Paxar Vega
It doesn’t matter what your name is, Little Bo Peep. The last thing Reya needs before her big match is a distraction and guess what? You’re a distraction. Now go off somewhere else and find your sheep.

Dismayed, Tebow lets go of Reya’s hands. He signals that the two will speak soon as he exits, sighing heavily as he goes.

Reya Serra
Paxar, you do realize that was my friend Tim Tebow, backup quarterback for the New York Jets and fellow Christian, that you just berated and sent out of here, right?

Paxar Vega
I do, but as I said, it doesn’t matter who he is. It could’ve been The Pope himself and I would’ve done the same thing I just did. Besides, Tebow was clearly distracting you from your upcoming match.

Reya Serra
On the contrary...

Paxar begins to get irritated, her face turning a slight shade of red.

Paxar Vega
Don’t argue with me, Reya Serra. Now come on, you’ve got a match to win. Let’s go.

Grabbing Reya by the arm she drags Reya out of the dressing room in the direction of the ring as the camera shifts back to ringside.


[color=DodgerBlue[color=#fff][/color]]Daniel[/color]
I'm sorry. I'm getting word of something happening backstage.

The camera cuts backstage where the Hardcore Monkey is on Akuma's shoulders, smacking his face.

Strachon
Oh no!

Daniel
I know. That monkey is causing chaos.

Strachon
No. That's Sonny Onoo, and I think he has monkey feces on his face!


Sonny can be seen crossing in front the camera, clawing at his own face. He trips and falls forward. Akuma falls backward through the locker room door. The door swing shut ominously.

Strachon
I guess this match is a fatal fourway now.

Chrissy
Bad monkey!


Prove Yourself Match 5 Way ... turned Fatal Four Way:
Akuma (New Era) vs. Matt Slater (New Era) vs. Reya Reya (New Era)
vs. C.J. Gates (APW) vs. Hugo Strange (Warped)


Hartley
Introducing first from Calgary Alberta Canada and representing WARPED, weighing in tonight at 315 pounds ... HUGO STRANGE!

As the riffs for ”Check My Brain starts Hugo steps out and looks across the fans as he makes his way the ring taunting and flipping off the fans. As Hugo gets to the ring he rolls in under the bottom rope and stands up talking shit to the fans and anybody in the ring.

Hartley
Now coming to the ring from Manchester England and representing ACW/NEW Era, weighing in tonight at 218 pounds ... MATT SLATER!!!

The crowd cheer loudly as blue and white strobe lights flash around the Arena. "Can You Hear Me Now?" by Chemical Zoo continues playing as Matt Slater walks out from behind the curtain, wearing his customary wrestling gear and a long white coat. Slater exhales slowly before smiling, embarking on a brisk walk to the ring as he acknowledges the fans in attendance.

Slater reaches the ringside area and uses the stairs to ascend onto the apron. Looking around momentarily, Slater steps through the ropes and walks across the ring, reaching the far turnbuckle and mounting it. Slater glances out at the crowd before raising his arms out at his sides, letting them linger there before dropping them back down slowly. Slater then climbs down and walks back to the center of the ring, taking off his white coat as he mentally readies himself for his opponent.

Hartley
Introducing next from Los Angeles California and representing NEW Era, weighing in tonight at 135 pounds she is the Herald of Holiness ... REYA SERRA!!!

"Unbreakable" by Fireflight starts playing as all-white pyro goes off at the top of the ramp. As it ends out walks Reya Serra, wearing skin tight white pants and a matching white top, along with her friend Paxar Vega who is wearing a similar red ensemble. The two walk down the ramp, waving and giving high fives to members of the crowd before Reya slides into the ring, Paxar remaining at ringside. As she stands in the middle of the ring, Reya bows her head in prayer while she awaits her opponent.

Hartley
And finally approaching the ring from Fargo North Dakota and representing APW, weighing in tonight at 215 pounds ... CJ GATES!!!

“Shooting Star” by Black Stone Cherry begins to play as the fans cheer loudly. C.J. Gates quickly makes his way out of the back wearing his trademark cowboy hat and his“Go Big or Go Home” T-shirt. He bounces around at the entrance a bit before moving towards the ring, bouncing to the beat. Gates reaches the ring and slides in under the bottom rope before springing to his feet and climbing the nearest turnbuckle. He looks out at the fans before he raises his arms up in the air to a loud chorus of cheers from the fans. He climbs back down and removes his cowboy hat and carefully hands it off, before removing his t-shirt.

Daniel
Hey some of these guys I've actually heard of!

Chrissy
That CJ Gates he's kinda cute even if he is a little short!

Strachon
CJ Gates is a respected competitor across the world, he has the walk of a giant!

The referee calls for the bell, and it rings. The moment this happens, Hugo Strange runs straight for Matt Slater. Slater exits the ring by leaping through the ropes and lands on the outside. Hugo stands near the ropes and yells at Slater to get back in the ring. Slater grins and gestures for Strange to come after him. Suddenly, CJ Gates turns Hugo around and goes for a right hand but Hugo ducks and they have a standing position switch and Hugo clotheslines him over the top rope!

CJ falls is sent over the top rope and to the floor. Slater shrugs and he laughs and picks up the pieces by stomping on CJ’s back numerous times. Hugo Strange now turns his sights to Reya Serra and gets into attack mode. He throws a mighty right hand at Reya, but Reya is too fast and she dodges out of the way. Hugo returns with another right but Reya Serra ducks out of the way again. He finally boots her in the gut, grabs Reya and whips her into the ropes but she leaps onto the middle rope and springs back into a bodysplash on Hugo but he catches her! He goes to slam her down but she slips out into an armdrag! Both competitors get up and Reya dropkicks Hugo Strange to the mat! As he goes to get up she nails him with a Shining Wizard!

Cover!

Kick out!

Daniel
Near fall for Reya Serra who is making a strong showing!

Chrissy
Hooray for Reya! I know it can't be easy being a woman in a match like this!

Strachon
Never underestimate Reya Serra, pound for pound she's one of the fiercest competitors in this business.

At ringside, Matt Slater has picked up CJ by the head and brought him over to the announcer’s table. He tosses CJ towards the table and Gates rams into it with his chest.

Slater grabs Gates by the head again and tries smashing CJ’s face into the table, but CJ manages to elbow his way out of it. Gates grabs Slater by the head this time and slams him into the table face first. Slater holds his nose, but a smile remains on his face.

Meanwhile, Reya has made her way towards Hugo. Reya proceeds to stomp a mudhole into Hugo while he tries getting up, Eventually Hugo makes it to his feet, and Reya continues her assault by throwing repeated lefts and rights at his face. Hugo looks almost out of it already and Reya Serra takes him down with a Spnining Heel Kick and wastes no time covering..

1…

2…

Kick out.

Daniel
That is twice that Reya Serra almost pins Hugo Strange!

Chrissy
He must be really strong though because he kicked out again too!

Strachon
#LOL Well there you go. Maybe third time is the charm?

Reya looks annoyed, and stomps Hugo in the chest for having the gall to fight back.

Matt Slater and CJ Gates are still fighting near the announcer’s table. The two have started trading punches close to the announce team until Slater manages to sneak in a thumb to the eye that blinds Gates temporarily. Slater then grabs a steel chair next to the announce table and folds it up. He's taken too much time though as CJ Gates is now up on the apron and he leaps off and lands on the shoulders of Slater and hurricanrana's him to the floor!

In the ring, Reya still has her eyes locked on Hugo. She patiently waits for him to get up.. Once Hugo gets to his feet, he turns around and spots Reya coming at him and eh thinks fast and gets a boot up, nailing her in the face with the Big Boot! She goes down and Hugo covers..

1..

Kick out!

Daniel
Hugo this time getting a cover on Reya ...

Chrissy
But she's free! Go go go girl!

Strachon
Hugo and Reya really seem to be going to war here but you absolutely cannot count out a single person in this match. It can all change in an instant!

Hugo Strange brings Reya Serra to her feet and knees her in the gut. He whips her into the corner and charges at her but she gets boots up and nails Hugo in the face. He staggers back as she hops onto the top buckle. Hugo then clips the ropes and she crotches herself on the top, but we're not sure if that hurts as much as it would guys. Hugo now pulls Serra off the top onto his shoulders, preparing for the Burning Hammer finisher of his, but CJ Gates comes in and kicks Strange in the gut and he drops Serra. CJ now charges Hugo but gets a bodydrop over the top rope and CJ lands on Matt Slater who was just getting back to his feet!

Reya now hits Reya Light [Super Kick] and it sends Hugo over the top rope and the fans cheer!

Daniel
There goes Hugo!

As CJ and Matt are getting to their feet, Reya isn't done yet, as she hits a Springboard Plancha but both men pull out of the way and she crashes and burns!

That's what high risk is all about! You take chances and sometimes it doesn't work out for you.

Despite both men being on the same page there, things switch back to normal once Slater pushes Gates right into the turnbuckle post. Hugo rises to his feet and sees this, goes over to Slater, grabs him from behind, and hits an angry Canadian backbreaker!

Daniel
Slater is in major pain there.

Chrissy
Slater has a nice smile.

Strachon
#MyBackandMyNeck wow that was one vicious move.

Hugo grabs Reya and tosses her back into the ring. He rolls in and covers her..

1..

2..

Strachon
And Hugo's second pin attempt comes up just a little short thanks to ...

CJ Gates breaks it up! Hugo tells him to stay back and CJ ignores him and goes to work on Serra, bringing her to her feet. He tells Hugo to watch as he whips her into the ropes. Hugo now spins CJ around and goes for a right hand but CJ ducks and goes for a kick but Hugo grabs onto his feet, yet CJ brings his other leg up and hits an Enziguri! Hugo drops to the mat. CJ turns just in time as Reya is coming at him and he hits a perfect Dropsault, dropkicking Serra and landing on Strange with a moonsault! He stays on top for a cover..

1..

2..

Kick out!

Daniel
CJ Gates almost had it all!

Chrissy
Mmm that's a great Whitney Houston song.

Strachon
A fraction of a second more and that would have been it. Gates is a strong competitor and has had a very prolific year.

CJ brings Hugo to his feet and goes for a Double Arm DDT.. and nails it! The fans cheer as he starts climbing up the corner now, having hit the Stamp of Approval and now looking to finish it off with The Gatecrasher. Just as he gets to the top, though, Matt Slater gets on the apron and causes Gates to get crotched on the top!! Slater enters the ring and brings Gates off of the top and onto his shoulders in a Firemans carry and he spins him around into a TKO!!

Shockwave!

Chrissy
I think he's dead, oh no I like him!

Strachon
Calm down, he's just fine. Or he will be, after a few beers and some ice packs.

Before he can even make the pin, though, Hugo Strange hits a spinning double hammer fist, and brings him between his legs. He then lifts him up for a Leaping Package Piledriver and drops him on his head with the Strange Tombstone Driver aka STD!!

Hugo pops up and turns right into Reya Serra coming off the top with a Shooting Star Press and she lands a DDT!!! The fans pop for Serra's Embrace and Reya uses the momentum of the bigtime move to then bring Strange up, lock in a Full Nelson, but then pull him back and hit the Dragon Suplex, bridged into a pin!! Reya hits the Decree of Justice and the ref counts..


1..

2..

3!!!

Hartley
And here is your winner, The Herald of Holiness ... REYA SERRA!!!

Daniel
WOW and Reya with a big win for her here in ViW!

Chrissy
Justice is served!

Strachon
That almost made me think you knew what the name of that move was, Chrissy.


Chrissy
More to come!

Backstage Angelique Devereux is standing with Lawrence Jacobson.

Angelique
Good evening everyone. I’m Visionary Interviewer, Anqelique Devereux here with ViW Co-owner, Lawrence Jacobson. Mr. Jacobson how are you enjoying the show this evening?

Lawrence
What a simple question. I expected better from you.

Angelique
Sorry sir. I’ll do better next time.

Lawrence
But to answer it. I’m very happy with how things are progressing thus far.

Angelique
We’ve heard from Bobbie Hearst already, but this is the first time tonight we’ve heard from you. What do you have planned for us this evening?

Lawrence
Well, I think it’s safe to say the audience at home will be quite satisfied by the end of the night because I have a major announcement to make.

Angelique
Care to drop a hint?

Lawrence
Absolutely not. Now if you excuse me. I have business to attend to.

Lawrence makes his exit.

Anqelique
We take you now back to the ring for our next contest.



Starr vs. Starr

The lights in Madison Square Garden dim as spotlights twirl around the the World's Most Famous Arena, focusing on the ring and the entrance ramp. Multicolored orbs dance around the canvas as "Who Shot Ya?" by the Notorious B.I.G. begins to blast through the public announce system while the top of the metal ramp fills with smoke. Alexander StarrZoë emerges from the smoke to the cheers and applause of the fans. Alex struts down the ramp, slapping the hands of a few fans sitting ringside and climbs to the top turnbuckle, staring into the people. Hopping into the ring, Starr climbs up on the second rope, facing the fans, and raises his fist into the air as the fans cheer; "StarrZoë! StarrZoë! StarrZoë!"

Hartley
Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, representing WARPED, Alexander StarrZoe!

Daniel
We've got more interbrand competition as WARPED meets New Era.

Strachon
This is certainly the biggest stage of StarrZoe's life. It'll be interesting to see how he handles the pressure.


The lights in the arena go dark, as "The Pride" begins to play. Matt Starr steps out on the ramp with a cocky grin on his face. He bows before the crowd, before he begins to walk down the ramp. The fans boo, as he just ignores and stops at the end of the ramp. He runs his hands through his hair, before running to the ring and sliding in. He climbs the nearest turnbuckle and starts unbuttoning his jacket, as he stares out into the crowd. Matt draws a star with his right hand and points to himself, before extending both arms out and yelling "This is Entertainment". He drops down to the mat and goes to the opposite side where he takes off his jacket and starts preparing for the match.

Hartley
And his opponent, from Hollywood, California, representing New Era, Matt Starr!

Strachon
Matt requested this match, now can he pull off the victory?


The two wrestlers stand and face each other as the referee signals for the starting bell. As soon as he steps back from the center of the ring, StarrZoe charges into the unsuspecting Starr who is pandering to the crowd, bright smile in place. StarrZoe knocks Starr into the corner and delivers with fury and rapid succession a barrage of forearm clubs, knee lifts, and reverse knife edge chops. The referee calls for a clean break.

Daniel
Why did he stop them those were all clean hits?

Chrissy
Aww it was getting good!

Strachon
You two. They were in the ropes of course, and you can't just do that.

StarrZoe backs away holding up his hands in a disarming fashion as he grins insouciantly at Starr. Matt glowers Alexander's way, but immediately the referee signals for action. This time, Matt watches intently as he leaves the corner. He and StarrZoe meet in a collar-to-elbow tie that quickly morphs into a hip toss by Starr. The minute StarrZoe lands on his back Starr is after him. StarrZoe kneels to rise to his feet but is yanked up into Starr's gutwrench powerbomb! Starr drops to his belly next to StarrZoe and applies a key lock, cinching it in. StarrZoe squirms and gets his foot on the bottom rope as the referee calls for the break. Starr immediately releases StarrZoe and hastens to the center of the ring, ready for the onslaught. Alexander stands, makes eye contact with Matt in the center of the ring and charges. Despite Starr's being ready he cannot dodge the roundhouse kick to the temple that StarrZoe delivers as the fans explode into cheering. Starr absorbs the initial jolt and flies backwards, but as he does StarrZoe wraps his legs around Starr's waist and grabs Matt's head. When they land, StarrZoe is left rubbing his forehead and Starr has the wind knocked out of him!

Daniel
Ouch! Matt Starr struggling for breath as StarrZoe shakes out the cobwebs.

Chrissy
That was pretty cool really.

Strachon
StarrZoe, literally willing to do anything to win including putting his own body at risk.

Both men roll in opposite directions and gather themselves as they rise to their feet.

Daniel
I think that might have given StarrZoe the upper hand here and gained him some momentum!

Chrissy
Does that matter, momentum?

Strachon
Upper hand and momentum are like spitting in the wind, one moment you have it, then its gone, then it smacks you in the face.

Daniel
That's really sort of disgusting.

Strachon
As is your wife's cooking.

Chrissy
Ha ha … gross.

Instead of charging, StarrZoe continues to take the initiative and lunges forward and pushes Starr into the corner. In one motion, StarrZoe drops to the ground, grabs Starr's tights at the waist and twists, and catapults him into the corner face first. Starr staggers backwards from the corner as StarrZoe grabs his arm and whips him back into the same corner. Another whip tosses Matt across the ring and Alexander follows with a hard clothesline that nearly lifts Starr out of his boots. Starr recovers fast and delivers a chop, back-to-back stiff European uppercuts and finally a reverse chop. The pop of hand and chest echo and the crowd lets loose a series of loud …

WOOOOOOOOO 's.

The referee calls for the break. Starr backs a step away then slaps StarrZoe hard across the face.

Chrissy
What was that for?

Daniel
Well Chrissy, Matt Starr made his bad opinion of StarrZoe pretty clear when he was talking to the cameras this week.

Chrissy
Still seems sort of … I dunno, not real manly?

Strachon
Keep that pimp hand strong Matt … but get ready for the consequences. It's a huge insult for a man to slap another man.

Starr fires out of the corner with a roundhouse left, but StarrZoe ducks. The momentum of the missed punch spins Starr in a circle and StarrZoe captures him and hoists him up.

Strachon
Phenomenal wrestling. An atomic drop? I'm not impressed.

Instead of an atomic drop, StarrZoe carries Starr and tosses him over the top rope. Starr lands unceremoniously on his thigh, back and shoulder outside the ring. StarrZoe dashes toward the ropes, rebounds, and jumps over the rope, rotating and catching Starr with a modified legdrop which thumps Starr's jaw off the padded arena floor. Quickly, Alexander raises Matt to his feet and whips Starr into the ring steps. Starr tries to jump them, but is still dazed; his feet clip the top step and send him into an uncontrolled somersault. StarrZoe tries to follow, jumping on the steps and he leaps toward the woozy Starr but Matt moves and StarrZoe guts himself on the crowd barrier and falls over into the crowd which goes nuts with cheering as the referee has seen enough, he calls for the wrestlers to get it back into the ring and begins the ten count.

Daniel
Okay, so that sequence was kinda impressive.

Chrissy
That looked ouchie too!

Strachon
Both men and going all out tonight, not that either of them needs an excuse.

Starr gathers himself and slowly climbs onto the ring apron. Meanwhile, StarrZoe peers over the barrier. Starr reaches for the middle strand as StarrZoe explodes into motion, he jumps up and leaps the barricade and goes full tilt for the ring as Starr is half in and half out of the ring which breaks the count. StarrZoe grabs his boots and yanks them out from under him and Starr falls, hitting his chin on the apron. A Fisherman's suplex follows and StarrZoe is first up after delivering the devastating move, he gets Starr up on the apron again and rolls him into the ring under the bottom strand. StarrZoe follows and climbs the turnbuckles from the outside. Matt shakes out the cobwebs and scrambles to his feet, he turns just as Alexander measures him up and comes off the top turnbuckle with a front flipping dropkick! The SMACK as his boots hit Starr's chest had ladies in the front row wincing and the force of the move spins Starr completely around as he drops to the mat.

StarrZoe is on him in an instant, going for an armbar submission but the pain seems to enervate Matt and he fights with elbow and knees to get Alexander to release the painful hold. Still on the mat StarrZoe stays on him going for a triangle choke but Starr slithers out of it before it can get locked on. Not deterred in the slightest StarrZoe goes after him and lays punches and kicks in rapid fire style on him but Starr shows his intelligence and rolls under the bottom rope to the floor below for a breather.

Daniel
I'm surprised neither man has really gone hard for a pinfall as yet.

Chrissy
I don't think they've really cared about that.

Strachon
They seem more concerned with dealing out punishment and agony, I'm loving this!

Daniel
Looks like StarrZoe got tired of waiting!

The pair are brawling now as StarrZoe jumps through the ropes at Starr forcing the fighter to catch him, the weight and momentum bears them both into the security railing where they drop and fight. StarrZoe is up first, and he yanks Starr to his knees and then flips him up and over, turning him for a vicious high-angle German suplex on the mat-covered concrete floor! Matt lolls on the floor, motionless as Alexander sizes him up and turns him into an elevated Boston crab, but instead of sitting down with it he uses his right foot to kick at the downed Starr's head. He only gets a strike or two in before Starr yanks his leg free and then brings it up between the uprights calf first and the men in the crowd react with a groan of sympathy as he lets go and rolls to the side.

The referee is now counting them again, he gets up to six before Starr rolls under the bottom rope to break his count and then slings StarrZoe up by the tights onto the apron and rolls him into the ring. He quickly follows and he stomps StarrZoe in the side, back, and shoulder even as he cradles his abused jewels, the referee gets him to back off a second as they were still too near the ropes. StarrZoe slowly rises as Starr suddenly kicks him in the back of the leg, getting him down

Daniel
I hope StarrZoe has some ice waiting for him back in the locker.

Chrissy
Oh man the look he just gave Matt Starr, brrr!

Strachon
Yeah, Starr broke the bro code! #NadSmash

Starr has StarrZoe lined up for The Matt Starr Highlight Reel coming off the kick to StarrZoe's leg and he yells out *KNEEL BEFORE STARR*, he comes back super fast for the high knee strike but at the last second StarrZoe simply falls back and Starr sails overhead, his landing shaky as he stumbles into the ropes chest first. On the rebound, added with the force of his initial motion he comes back first towards the ready and waiting StarrZoe, who yanks him around into a huge German suplex! With a wide grin to the crowd StarrZoe grabs Starr around the waist and lifts him up and executes a second German suplex before he rises up and rushes to the corner, quickly scrambling up and then he jumps off with a 450 Shooting Star Press!

Daniel
Holy Shit!

Chrissy
WOW!

Strachon
THE RISING STARR!!

StarrZoe rolls around on the mat before he quickly floats over and pins the motionless Matt Starr!

1!

2!

3!

The referee signals for the bell as StarrZoe released Starr and rolls to his feet.

Hartley
And here is your winner, WARPED's own … ALEXANDER STARRZOE!!!

Daniel
Listen to these Madison Square Garden fans explode!

Chrissy
Yay!

Strachon
#ThisIsAwesome What a great match, a dream match between Starr and StarrZoe sure delivered the promised excitement!

Backstage, we see the professor, Doug E. Fresh, walking along the hallways inside of Madison Square Garden.

Doug
There is decades worth of history inside of this building from an array of professional sports. Truly blissful.


He takes a turn with the look of heading towards a specific location.

Doug
But this is Showcase Zero, an event where we witness the dawning of a new era in professional wrestling. In order to do that and to earn the trust of those responsible for ViW, I'm going to make unprecedented history. What I am about to do will overshadow anything you've seen thus far. It may even be bigger than tonight's main event.


The professor stops at a locker room door. Written on it is the name of his opponent tonight, Kurt Noble!

Doug
OPEN UP KURT!


He knocks loudly and the door opens in no time. There stands Kurt. He and Doug are in a stare down. Neither flinches. Then Doug looks at his longtime foe with a small smirk and then puts an arm on his shoulder.

Doug
I'm here tonight to wish you luck brother.


Kurt removes Doug's arm from his shoulder.

Kurt
Six times Doug. Six times. That’s how many different times we’ve stepped into the ring against one another. Luck had nothing to do with it…and it has nothing to do with it now.

Doug grins as Kurt continues the stare-down.

Doug
I heard you’d been under some hard times, but I needed to see them myself; the rumors are indeed true.

Doug scans Kurt’s graying hair, five-o-clock shadow, and bagged eyes. However, Kurt pushes past his arch-rival.

Kurt
True? Doug Fresh isn’t about truth; he’s about destruction. You’re not here for my good health; you just want one last look at my face before you try and beat it in. Hope you enjoy it Doug.

Kurt tries to walk away, but Doug’s voice stops.

Doug
I meant what I said Kurt; about accepting a Noble man into my ranks. You’ve always tried to “save” me, but I believe you’re the one who needs saving. In light of our history, and the respect I hold for you, I offer you a choice…continue to wallow in your misery, or join me in SCW so we can CRUSH everyone around us.

Kurt stops, turning to Doug…and is silent! He has no words for Doug, who continues to grin.

Doug
Think on it friend, after the mayhem is over tonight. Once you’ve truly experienced Hell, you’ll know that I’m the only “devil” trying to get you out.

Doug walks off, leaving Noble visibly uneasy. The camera cuts back to ringside for the next match.

CPW Showcase Match

Hartley
Ladies and gentlemen, the following match is a CPW Showcase Match and it is scheduled for one fall!


The lights go out and spot lights roam the arena as the sounds of air sirens and gunfire fill the speakers. After about 23 seconds and explosion rocks the stage and the music kicks in as Mr. Abraham comes out of the curtain and slowly makes his way down to the ring.

Hartley
Introducing first, from Tampa, Florida, weighing in at 235 pounds and standing at 6 feet and 1 inch tall, MISTER ABRAHAM!!!


The lights shut off completely, and then... a spotlight from below illuminates Solidus Filth, standing above it. The opening to "Oh My God" fades in, then blasts in full effect as the lights turn on and Solidus heads down to the ring, his face lacking any discernible expression.

Hartley
His opponent, from Columbus, Ohio, weighing in at 243 pounds and standing at 6 feet and 3 inches tall, SOLIDUS FILTH!!!


Both men meet in the center of the ring and wait on the bell.

Daniel
These two men represent CPW, otherwise known as Chaotic Pro Wrestling.

Strachon
They're also both men and they wrestle, since we're stating the obvious.

Chrissy
Oh are you two playing a game? Can I play?


The referee calls for the bell and the two men lock up. Abraham quickly grabs Soli's wrist and twists it around.

Daniel
Abraham appears to be holding Solidus's hand.

Strachon
It's called a Wrist Lock.


Solidus flips forward to straighten his arm out and then tugs it forward and planting Abe's face into the mat with a Drop Toe Hold. As Abraham tries get up Solidus positions his weight on Abe's back and then spins around to Abraham's front. He rolls Abe around before standing up and gut wrenching Abraham to his feet. Abe takes the opportunity to rush Soli back into a corner.

Chrissy
Solidus seems to know what he's doing.

Strachon
Of course he does. His father, Marcus Filth, founded CPW. Solidus has wrestling in his veins and he's a solid tactician as well as an expert submission specialist.


The referee forces the men to separate and Abraham takes the opportunity to swing at Solidus but Soli blocks it and counters with a punch of his own. Abraham stumbles back toward the center of the ring but when Solidus rushes forward Abe catches him with a Double Leg Takedown.

Strachon
Of course I shouldn't neglect to mention that Lee Abraham is also a talented submission specialist. He has family ties to wrestling too. His sister once wrestled for CPW, until she passed away.


Abraham goes to drop an elbow on Solidus but Solidus rolls out of the way. Both men get up and lock up and Soli forces Abe into a corner but Abe reverses it and flips Soli into the corner. Solidus tries to push his way out but Abe applies a Headlock and flips Solidus onto his back.

Daniel
Abraham is now hugging Solidus's head.

Strachon
Lolz, you're such a noob.

Chrissy
It looked like he was hugging it to me too.

Strachon
It's called a headlock.

Chrissy
I know, but it looks like a head hug.

Daniel
It appears to be effective, whatever it's called.


Abe wrenches on Solidus's head but Solidus manages to roll onto his belly before powering his way to his feet. He forces Abe into the ropes and tries to shoot him across to ring but Abraham holds on the Headlock instead.

Daniel
Mr. Abraham seems to be holding onto the move persistently.

Chrissy
Maybe he doesn't want to stop hugging him.


Solidus finally, counter with a Back Suplex, dropping Abraham on the back of his neck and shoulders. Solidus tries to cover.

Strachon
First cover of the match!

Daniel
Abraham kicked out of the pin.


As Solidus gets up he tries to maintain control by grabbing Abraham's head and lifting Abe up himself but Abraham smacks Soli's hands away and slips around to Filth's back. Abraham delivers a German Suplex and bridges for the pin.

Chrissy
Solidus kicked out. Now both men have kicked out of covers.


The two get up and Abe tries to whips Solidus into the ropes but Soli reverses it. Filth goes for a clothesline as Abe bounces back but Abe ducks under it and runs into the other ropes. Solidus turns around as Abe bounces back again and Abe plows into Solidus with a True Spear.

Strachon
THE TRUE SPEAR! Abraham could win this.

Daniel
How's that different than a normal spear?

Strachon
A normal spear uses the shoulder.


Abraham goes for a cover.

1...

Abraham lifts Solidus's head up and grins while waving his finger. He goes to apply a Corporate Stranglehold but before he can Solidus starts punching him in the gut.

Daniel
Why did Abraham break his own pin?

Strachon
He wanted to make Solidus tap out.

Daniel
Why?

Strachon
Some see victories by way of submission to be more gratifying than pinning an opponent.

Daniel
Why? A win's a win, why should they care how they win?

Strachon
It's complicated. Someone can drop their guard and get pinned. You have to make a decision to forfeit the match. Some people like to force their opponents to make that decision.


Solidus continues to pound away at Abraham as he slowly gets back to his feet. Abraham tries to push Solidus back and then swings with a right hook but Solidus ducks under it and delivers a Double Leg Takedown.

Daniel
How's that move Solidus just did, different than a Spear?

Strachon
A Spear has more momentum and impact behind it.

Chrissy
Solidus is trying to fight back into the match.


Solidus gets Mr. Abraham up and lifts him for a back suplex, but Abraham flips all the way over and lands on his feet. Solidus turns around and ducks under a clothesline. He attempts a spin kick, but Abraham catches his foot, and then kicks Filth’s leg out from under him. He attempts to lock in a Boston crab, but Filth kicks his legs sending Abraham into the ropes. Solidus quickly gets back up to his feet and puts his head down to back body drop Abraham, but he sunset flips over him into a cover.

1…

2…

Strachon
Kick out by Solidus Filth!

Daniel
Solidus shouldn’t have lowered his head like that.


Abraham tries to lock in the Boston crab again, but Solidus quickly grabs the ropes to break it off. Abraham backs away allowing Solidus gets back to his feet. They lock up again. Solidus gets behind Abraham and attempts a german suplex, but Abraham fights it off. He quickly reverses positions with Solidus and Abraham attempts a german suplex of his own. Solidus locks his legs behind Abraham’s legs and rolls his german suplex attempt into a cover.

1…

2…

Chrissy
Abraham kicks out!

Strachon
That was a nice roll up by Solidus.


Solidus gets right back up to his feet and takes Abraham down with a clothesline when he gets back to his feet. He picks Abraham up off the mat and takes him right back down with a snap suplex. Solidus picks him back up again and whips him into the turnbuckles. Abraham reverses the whip and sends Solidus into the turnbuckles. He charges at his with a clothesline, but is met with two boots to the face. Solidus hops up on the second turnbuckle, jumps off and takes Abraham down with a sleeping clothesline into a cover.

1…

2…

Chrissy
Mr. Abraham kicks out!

Strachon
Solidus Filth loves to fly from the top and he is very effective when he does.

Daniel
That’s true Strachon, but sometimes flying from the top can cost you a match.


Solidus waits for Abraham to get back to his feet. When he does Filth runs at him with a kick, but Abraham ducks and pulls the ropes down. Filth gets crotched on the top ropes. He flips back over into the ring right in front of Abraham. He quickly applies a guillotine choke with body scissors

Strachon
Mr. Abraham locks on Corporate Stranglehold.

Daniel
I think this one is over!


Solidus is stretching out as far as he can, but he just can’t reach the ropes. Solidus is writhing with pain, but shakes his head “no” when the referee asks if he submits. He drags himself closer to the ropes and grabs hold of them, but Abraham pops up, drags Solidus away from the ropes and reapplies the submission.

Strachon
Solidus Flith is in a really bad spot here.

Daniel
I think Abraham has this match won.


Solidus again uses every bit of his leg strength to force Abraham to break the hold. Solidus hops back up, jumps up on Abraham, takes him down with a hurricanrana and makes the cover.

1…

2…

Abraham kicks out.

Strachon
Solidus almost had Mr. Abraham there.

Chrissy
Almost isn’t good enough.


As Solidus gets Abraham back up he elbows Filth in the stomach, steps back and delivers a dropkick knocking Filth down near a turnbuckle. Abraham quickly hits a heavy leg drop then makes a cover.

1…

2…

Strachon
Solidus places his foot on the ropes to break the hold.

Chrissy
Who didn’t see that coming?

Daniel
Me.


Abraham picks him up off the mat. He cocks his arm back for a haymaker, but Solidus ducks it. He spins Abraham around and gives him several martial arts kicks to the gut. He jumps up for an axe kick, but Abraham quickly lifts his head up and power clotheslines the hell out of Solidus

Strachon
That was an absolutely vicious clothesline by Mr. Abraham.

Daniel
He’s a very powerful man and is letting Solidus know it.


Abraham roughly grabs Solidus and puts him on the top turnbuckles facing the crowd. Mr. Abraham climbs up the turnbuckles and nails Filth with a super German suplex and makes the cover.

1…

2…










...










Chrissy
Solidus Filth kicks out in the nick of time.

Daniel
This match means a lot in CPW and Solidus is digging deep to stay in this match-up.


Abraham gets Solidus back to his feet and walks with him over to the turnbuckles. He hops up on the top turnbuckle and grabs Solidus by his head. Solidus reaches out and shakes the ropes causing Abraham to get crotched on the top turnbuckles. Solidus hops over the top ropes and lands on the apron. He grabs Abraham by his head and flips him back into the ring. Solidus jumps up to the top, dives off and crushes Abraham with a frog splash! Filth holds onto his ribs for a moment then covers Abraham.

1...

2...










...










Chrissy
Mr. Abraham kicks out!

Daniel
That was so close!


They get up at the same time and Mr. Abraham ducks under a Solidus haymaker and runs off the ropes with a full head of steam. When Filth turns around Abraham strikes him in with his modified spear where Mr. Abraham hits with his head instead of his shoulder.

Strachon
TRUE SPEAR!


Mr. Abraham then locks Solidus in Corporate Stranglehold! Filth is in the middle of the ring and has no choice but to tap out!

Chrissy
Mr. Abraham takes it!

Hartley
Here is your winner... MR. ABRAHAM!

Daniel
Mr. Abraham and Solidus Filth made CPW proud here tonight.

Strachon
They sure did and Mr. Abraham picked up the huge win tonight.

Chrissy
Ewww!


Backstage a free agent by the name of Vannah White makes her way down the hallway in preparation for her match with Sabra Nikolayev. As she walks on by APW Mega Star CJ Gates passes and the two meet eyes for a split second before a shy Vannah White quickly diverts her attention breaking eye contact. Vannah White continues to walk on but CJ Gates can't help but stop and look back at her.

CJ Gates
Hey Vannah!

CJ Gates approached Vannah White who slowly turned around to face him with a nervous wave.

Vannah White
Hi, Ceejay!

CJ Gates
I just wanted to talk to you about something...

Vannah White
Look mate, if this has anything to do with Level-One - just know that I don't condone any of it and I am not guilty by association.


CJ Gates tipped his cap before removing his hat from his head.

CJ Gates
I know you don't, Vannah. I was just hoping to get some extra insight on Level-One seeing as I am going one on one with him for the number one contendership for the APW Undisputed Championship next week at Christmas Chaos.

Vannah smiled flirtatiously.

Vannah White
Well, let's start off with rule number one. Do not piss him off. You haven't pissed him off have you?

CJ Gates
Well, he said he's angry he has to hurt his hands on my face. So, I'd assume so. What's the next rule?

Vannah White
Ceejay there is no next rule. Lester is coming for blood and he's going to get it win or lose. You need to look deep within and get right with yourself and I guarantee everything else will fall into place.

CJ Gates
Thanks Vannah. I was wondering would you like too...


Before CJ Gates could finish his sentence APW Undisputed Champion, Terry Marvin comes storming backstage after losing his match. He steps in front of CJ Gates and eyes Vannah White.

Terry Marvin
Sorry, am I interrupting something? The last time I checked soliciting was illegal on the premises, Ms. White. So, go on and take your goods and services elsewhere - skankarella.

CJ Gates grabbed Terry Marvin by his arm.

CJ Gates
Don't talk to her like that, Terry.

Terry Marvin
Listen White Knight, you don't talk to her - PERIOD! Do you know what Level-One would do to you if he found you harassing his friend Vannah right now? Well, he'd be more pissed off than he already is with you. See, while you two are gossiping backstage me and Level-One are getting ready to main event the biggest spectacle in the business... RASSLEMANIA!

CJ Gates boxes Vannah White out of the picture protecting her as he steps up right into Terry Marvins face.

CJ Gates
Terry, you may get past Biggs at Christmas Chaos and go onto main event your first Rasslemania as you've dreamed for so long but I promise you - if you are that lucky, it won't be Level-One standing across from you - it'll be me and it'll be the last night you enjoy as APW Undisputed Champion.

Terry Marvin cocks a fist back but Vannah White pulls CJ Gates back and steps up to him instead - almost daring him to hit her.

Vannah White
You don't need to go Big nor do you have to go home but you better get the hell out of here!

Terry Marvin lowers his fist and flashes a cocky grin as he backs away from the duo and walks off leaving Vannah White and CJ Gates alone. He's the first to break the awkward silence.

CJ Gates
So, have you already met Terry Marvin?

Vannah rolls her eyes.

Vannah White
No, but it appears as if him and Level-One are SO perfect for each other.

The cameras switch to the backstage area near the curtains, the famed 'gorilla position' where wrestlers would wait until it was time for their matches. There we find the 2011 Queen of Sin winner Sabra Nikolayev conversing quietly with her mentor and lover Gryphon, until she realizes the cameras are on her. Gryphon's hands are up as he finishes adjusting the item Sabra has around her right upper arm – a black armband. Sabra looks at the camera with a somber expression, her heavily accented voice soft in tone.

Sabra
Sometimes people forget that the wrestlers they watch on television every week are not amazing, impervious, perfect creations. We are not heroes or villains the way that Hollywood creates them, no matter how much we are revered or reviled at the end of the day when the cameras are off and the bright lights dim down, we are human. We have emotion, we can be uplifted and we can be thrown down and devastated. The wrestling world has suffered many losses over the course of this last year, and one of the most recent hit very close to home for me. Kaitlynn Stryfe was a dear friend to me, Moy Kitty, and I miss her every day. She came up in the business when women were not regarded as true competitors or even athletes at all. One was expected to be a valet or a manager, no better really than arm candy or someone to hide a weapon. But not Kitty. She was too vibrant and too much for a role like that to contain.

Her fingers lift up to caress the black armband she is wearing and she looks up to the ceiling for a moment.

Sabra
That is why, this next match means so much. This is for you, Kitty. No matter the outcome, I know you will be proud because it will be two women tearing down the house and proving we are real wrestlers, never to be overlooked.

At this point the camera pans out, and the crowd pops as Vannah White has appeared. She too is wearing a black armband to match Sabra's and the announcer's voice filters in to the back.

Queen of Sin vs. Queen of Sin

Hartley
The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is the Queen of Sin versus the Queen of Sin, Sabra Nikolayev facing Vannah White!

The pair look at each other for a long moment and then Sabra turns toward the curtain as Vannah moves to stand shoulder to shoulder with her … and they move through the curtains together! Gryphon follows the pair as they move down the ramp with a purpose, attaining the ring at the same time and climbing the steps, without music or fanfare, the echoes of Kaitlynn's tribute video still affecting the hot Madison Square Garden crowd. The pair face the fans and strike poses, Sabra with her arms out crucifix style and Vannah lifting one arm towards the heavens and the fans explode into cheering no matter whom they would normally support.

Daniel
Very moving words from Sabra Nikolayev here tonight at Showcase Zero.

Chrissy
I think its really sweet of her.

Strachon
Touching indeed, but now its time to put that aside and wrestle this match!

The action begins as Sabra shoves Vannah hard in the chest, staggers her though she does not leave her feet, but it is enough for what she has in mind as she moves quickly past her and shoots the ropes, coming back with a hard shoulder check that spins Vannah around. She continues on through and comes back again with a solid Mafia kick that takes White to the mat, but as she turns to press the attack Vannah shows her incredible heart and is up and coiled just that fast, coming off the mat with a vicious short-range spear! The crowd goes nuts as she hits Sabra solidly in the gut and takes the Russian right off her feet, and she's gotten enough force with the move that the pair slid half-way across the ring, Sabra taking the brunt of the blow!

They both quickly rise, but Vannah was to her feet just a hair faster and grabs Sabra bodily up into a military press, holding the Legacy of Violence over her head a moment then plants her with a hard slam. Sabra's back bows up from the canvas after the impact and Vannah moves to Sabra, yanking her to her feet after she threads her arms around her waist and brings her up and over for a belly-to-back suplex.

Daniel
These are a pair of really tall women, and despite Vannah's inexperience she is doing very well for herself during the opening exchanges of this match!

Chrissy
And they both have really pretty hair!

Strachon
I would tell you to focus on the moves these ladies are doing over how their hair looks, Chrissy … you might learn something. I think I see what Vannah's doing here, Sabra is known for her wide range of suplexes and one of Vannah's hallmarks is 'A Tribute to One' where she steals her opponent's moves!

Vannah rises to her feet and as Sabra rolls to the side and up she was there to take her back down with a running bulldog. Sabra turns the tables on her though as she reaches for her again, whipping her over with an armdrag before she pops up to her feet. As Vannah comes at her in a low rush, Sabra gets her with an elbow to the chest and then Irish whips her to the near corner, Vannah's back striking the turnbuckles. As Vannah winces in pain, Sabra follows up with a fast running high knee, slamming it hard into Vannah's midsection.

When Vannah slumps down Sabra uses the corner to her advantage and holds the top ropes hard with both hands, choking Vannah with her boot. The referee was there quickly to try and back her off, Sabra turns her glare at him even while grinding the boot into Vannah but the referee refuses to be intimidated by the tall Russian, he begins a count even as Gryphon flips him the bird from ringside. Sabra fakes backing off then darts in past the angry referee, drapes Vannah across the top rope and then she hops over after she grabs the back of Vannah's head and drops to the floor.

Vannah stumbles back and goes down as Sabra slides back into the ring, the referee was having none of it though and keeps her off Vannah – which gives the resilient grappler more than enough time to recover from the earlier assault. When the referee moves out of Sabra's line of sight Vannah was ready and comes at her full tilt and pissed off, taking her right to the mat with a picture perfect headscissors takedown!

Daniel
Wow! What athleticism from Vannah White after that vicious rope assisted drop thingy Sabra did!

Chrissy
Yeah that was really, really mean.

Strachon
Well they don't call her the Legacy of Violence because it looks good on her merchandise … which is available in the outer lobby folks, just saying.

Instead of going for the expected cover though, Vannah rolls to her feet and holds her throat, the referee steps in with some concern and he asks her if she's okay to continue. Vannah takes a few breaths and nods her head yes as the crowd cheers! Sabra is on her feet and closes with Vannah before taking her down with a pendulum backbreaker that has the crowd groan in sympathy! Sabra lets Vannah slide off her knee and then slips over her for a cover but fails to hook the leg.

1!

2!

3....

KICKOUT!

Daniel
Should have hooked that leg, right Sam?

Chrissy
What does that matter, Vannah still kicked out.

Strachon
#OhChrissy … if Sabra had hooked the leg then it would have taken a lot more effort for Vannah to kick out, and she might not have done so in time.

Vannah shoves Sabra off and hits her with a wild elbow, one got the idea that it was an accident by the look on Vannah's face. Sabra reels as she gets up and Vannah runs toward the near corner, climbs the turnbuckles and jumps off with a rebounded corkscrew senton on the Legacy of Violence! Both women crash to the mat! They kip up to their feet, Vannah a bit faster than the leggy Russian and she hits her with a backhand bitchslap that echoes across the crowd and turns Sabra's head to the right. She lifts her hand to the corner of her mouth daubing away a hint of blood before showing her teeth in a vicious smile as she hauls back and returns the favor, the crowd responding with:

OHHHHHHH!

Vannah darts in then and attempts to slide her arms around Sabra for another suplex attempt, but Sabra wiggles free and drops down behind Vannah. She comes back for a quickly executed clothesline but misses as Vannah ducks under her arm. White slides in behind her and gets Sabra into a full nelson, her arms flex and shake just a little as she pulls the slightly taller Russian into position. She lifts her up into the air and then comes down with her, falling into a seated position in a sitout full nelson atomic drop!

Sabra shouts with pain as Vannah slides to the side and shoves her down for the pin, the referee dropping fast to count.

1...

KICKOUT!

Still in pain but not ready to give in, Sabra kickd out but as she moves Vannah rocks up and punches her in the face as hard as she can, snapping her head back and she shoves her down again, but fails to hook the leg much as Sabra had earlier.

1!

2...

KICKOUT!

Vannah shot a hopeful stare at the referee but doesn't argue, instead she comes to her feet and moves to pull Sabra up to keep her under control but the Legacy was ready for this and yanks Vannah into a surprise inside cradle!

1!

2!

3 …

KICKOUT!

Vannah kicks out hard enough to flip her out of Sabra's hold and she rolls to her feet ready as the Russian comes to her feet, she jumps to the ropes and comes back with a flying crossbody! Sabra dodges this and as Vannah lands on her feet she spins her around into a swinging neckbreaker on the slightly overbalanced White as the fans begin to chant!

This is Wrestling! This is Wrestling!

Daniel
These Madison Square Garden fans are loving this!

Chrissy
So exciting!

Strachon
When you're right you're right Chrissy! #ColorMeSurprised

The pair rise to their feet, both looking at each other and smiling before they circle and test for openings, jabs and punches exchanged until they get too near the ropes and the referee splits them apart for a second. Sabra's tongue swept out and touches the corner of her mouth where it was bleeding slightly and she nods as they close in again, Sabra's hands go for Vannah's already abused neck and for a second she locks in a blatant choke hold, though before the referee could step in Vannah shot her hands up between Sabra's arms and gets her around the throat for a choke of her own. The referee orders her to break the hold and begins a count but Vannah lets her go and grips her wrists to spin Sabra into a hard Irish whip. As Sabra turns on the rebound Vannah is there with a bicycle kick!

Daniel
Oh good God the impact of that kick!

Chrissy
She about took her head off!

Strachon
When you have legs like these two women do, why not use them in combat I say!

Vannah lands well and grabs Sabra up to hit a knee in Sabra's gut, dropping her to the mat, but when she moves to capitalize into a cover, Sabra was ready with a knee of her own that cracks into Vannah's cheek. Both women fall back then, but before the referee could begin a count both stir and start to get up to their feet. Sabra has a dark splotch near her temple that was a rapidly darkening bruise, showing in stark relief against her skin as she wipes the blood from her lip again, but as she turns she is hit with a spinning heel kick from White, the heel of her boot catching flush with Sabra's cheek and it creates a split there as well that has blood rolling down from that high cheekbone to drip from her jaw. A fast legsweep has Vannah down, and Sabra shoots the ropes and comes back with a rolling inverted neck snap.

She tries to cover but Vannah scoots away and rolls to the ropes, she moves to rise as the referee once more backs Sabra off, much to Gryphon's disgust at ringside. Both women are reeling a little now, and the referee checks both for safety as Sabra is bleeding with no signs of it letting up and Vannah's neck still seems to be bothering her. Satisfied he lets them go at it again, Vannah jumps up and rebounds off the second strand, coming off with a springboard dropkick that takes Sabra down to the mat! Vannah scrambles to her feet before Sabra can move and suddenly she viciously stomps down with her boot on Sabra's already bruised temple!

Daniel
Was that really necessary?

Chrissy
That was almost as mean as what Sabra did earlier!

Strachon
No, no … that's Street Cred! It's one of her moves. You two … #SickenMe.

Sabra is down and not moving as Vannah runs to the corner and once more ascends the turnbuckles to the top. She checks Sabra to make sure she isn't up, Sabra barely stirring and she stands up straight on the top turnbuckle, her arms outstretched as the crowd suddenly explodes into cheering, some for Vannah and some trying to get behind Sabra! Vannah takes a breath and leaps off, a beautiful swan dive and at the last possible second she flips to land with her upper back onto Sabra's exposed chest! Vannah yelps a little at the impact before she floats over and hooks both Sabra's legs!

1!

2!

Strachon
Come on Sabra! This can't be over yet!

3!!!!!!!!!!

Hartley
And here is your winner, The "New" Queen of Sin ... VANNAH WHITE!

Daniel
Wow simply amazing!

Chrissy
Can we do that again? I wanna go again.

Strachon
One hell of a match from two incredible female wrestlers.

Sabra sits up as the referee raises Vannah's hand in victory, Gryphon beginning to climb the steps to enter the ring to gather up his lady. Vannah sees him and seems a little afraid, but she looks down at Sabra and suddenly she drops to her knees next to her and puts her arms around her neck hugging her tightly. The ringside microphones can pick her voice up very softly as she says over and over to Sabra a simple phrase.

Vannah
Thank you. Thank you.

Sabra's arm came up and she returned the hug as the pair help each other back to their feet, Vannah handing Sabra over to Gryphon and then she gently pats her black armband before they all exit the ring as they entered it, together.

Backstage Azrael Goeren can be seen stretching in silence. His tag team partner for the evening, Adrien Specter is leaning against the wall. The quiet is broken up by the sound of New York Jets back up Quarterback, Tim Tebow!

Tim Tebow
Hey guys! I’m so excited for tonight! Aren’t you guys excited?

He gets no response from either man.

Tim Tebow
I’m really looking forward to seeing you guys wrestle. It’s going to be a lot of fun.

Tebow walks over and addresses Adrien Specter directly.

Tim Tebow
What about you? You ready?

Adrien, of course, does not respond.

Goeren
He doesn’t talk much.

Tim Tebow
Awww, why not? Shy?

Goeren
He cut out his own tongue.

Tim tries his best not to be rude.

Tim Tebow
Oh….. that’s… too bad.

Goeren
Nein, his quiet is what I like best from him.

At this point the camera cuts back to ringside, leaving Tebow standing in awkward silence.

60K Six Pack Challenge
Daniel
It’s now time for our Sixty Thousand Dollar Six Pack Challenge.

Strachon
All six combatants are already in the ring already because six entrances? Who wants to see that shit?

Hartley
Ladies and Gentlemen the following is a Six Pack Challenge Match and is for sixty thousand dollars. The match ends when five competitors have been eliminated. Introducing… representing New Era, Wildebeest, representing New Wave, Raymond James, representing SCW, Jason Scorpio, representing CPW, Francisco Lopex, representing Warped, Switchblade, and representing APW, Evan Envi.


Strachon
My money’s on Evan.

Daniel
I read that article you wrote on Evan Envi, Sam. It was very well done.

Strachon
Thank you.

Chrissy
Aww, it’s like you guys are friends now.


The bell rings and Switchblade, Francisco, and Evan quickly roll up James, Beest, and Scorpio, respectively. The ref counts.

1….




2….



3!

Hartley
Raymond James, Wildebeest, and Jason Scorpio have been eliminated.

Chrissy
That was quick.

Daniel
How embarrassing for those men?

Strachon
Well they were warned.


Wildebeest, Raymond James, and Jason Scorpio are thrown out of the ring. They try to get up, but Francisco quickly jumps over the ropes and takes all three men out with a crossbody. This leaves Evan and Switchblade in the ring. They lock up and try to get the better of each other, but to no avail. Evan goes for a wristlock, but Switchblade reverses it and wrenches Evan’s arm behind his back. Evan counters and manages to get behind Switchblade in a German suplex hold, but Switch gets out of it and puts Evan in a German hold of his own. He goes to lift Evan up, but Evan kicks Switchblade in the leg and catches him with a stunner.

Daniel
Impressive exchange there.

Strachon
I expect nothing less. These are two extraordinary individuals.


Evan picks Switchblade up. He hits him with a suplex and starts walking to pick him up again when Francisco Lopez runs into the ring. He floors Evan with a spear and begins mounted punches until Evan rolls him off. Evan rolls to his knees, but Francisco catches him with a kick to the chest followed by a kick to the head. Switchblade gets up, and Francisco hits him with a roundhouse kick before nailing a standing moonsault. He covers.


1…



Switchblade kicks out.

Strachon
You have to admire Francisco, he’s got a lot of fire, a lot of heart.

Francisco goes to pick Switchblade up, but Switch pulls him down into an armbar. Francisco manages to flip out of the hold, and both men climb to their feet. They lock up, and Switchblade goes for a headlock, but Francisco grabs Switchblade’s head instead. He runs toward the turnbuckle and jumps off, planting Switchblade with a DDT. He gets up, turns around, and walks right into a kick to the gut by Evan Envi.

Strachon
Francisco’s looking good, but you can’t afford to let your guard down. Stuff like that happens.

Evan picks Franciso, up and into a suplex. He grabs Francisco’s head. Francisco tries to scramble away, but Evan locks in a sleeperhold. Francisco tries getting to the ropes, but Evan locks in a headscissors as well. Francisco can’t power his way out of the move, but he struggles and manages to get a foot on the bottom rope. 1…. 2…. 3….. 4…. Evan breaks the hold. Francisco gets up. Evan runs at him, but Francisco catches him with a roundhouse kick.

Daniel
Evan Envi had a dangerous hold locked in, but Francisco found a way out of it. He’s back to his feet and looking good.

Strachon
But with Evan Envi, looking good can go to looking bad any moment.


Francisco picks Evan up and sets him up for a neckbreaker, but Evan counters with a reverse suplex. Francisco is quick to his feet, but Evan catches him with a regular suplex before picking Francisco up and planting him with a DDT. Evan picks Francisco up once again. This time he hits the Guess Who (An inverted headlock into a Snap Backbreaker) He hooks Francisco’s leg.

1….




2…..




3!

Strachon
Told you.

Hartley
Francisco Lopez has been eliminated.

Daniel
Francisco Lopez has nothing to be ashamed of. He put up a good showing, and represented CPW well.

Chrissy
Good job, Francisco!


As Francisco rolls out of the ring, Evan begins to taunt him. The crowd boo, and Evan turns to taunt them as well. He poses in the middle of the ring when, suddenly, Switchblade catches him with a tight rollup.

1…



2….


Evan narrowly kicks out.

Strachon
Can’t celebrate too early. Switchblade will make you pay.


Evan rolls to his feet, and Switchblade is right there with a neckbreaker. Evan crawls away, but Switch catches his legs. He goes to put Evan in a figure four, but Evan grabs the ropes and pulls himself away and between the bottom and middle rope. Switchblade gets up, but Evan jumps off the ropes with a flying crossbody that takes Switchblade down.

Strachon
Loved that move with the ropes. I told you. This kid will show you things.

Chrissy
He’s shown me that he’s cute.


Evan picks Switchblade up and into a scoop slam. He picks Switchblade up and goes to plant him with a DDT, but Swithclade knocks Evan away and hits him with a hard right to the face. Evan shakes his head and staggers backward, but the two quickly lock up in the middle. Evan gains the advantage by hitting Switch with a knee to the stomach. He connects with the Guess Who! And Covers!

1…






2….




3- NO! Switchblade kicks out!

Daniel
Evan Envi is looking good.

Chrissy
Yeah he is.

Daniel
But Switchblade kicks out.

Strachon
Evan Envi is incredibly talented, but he’s still going to have to work hard to put Switchblade away.


Evan slams his hands on the mat in frustration. He goes to pick Switchblade up, but Switchblade pulls Evan down into a headlock. Evan manages to push his way out of the hold, and, when both men get to their feet, Evan hits goes to hit Switchblade with a dropkick, but Switch knocks Evan’s feet away. Evni stands, and Switch catches him with a snap suplex. Switchblade picks Evan up and into a second suplex before lifting him up and into implant DDT and locking in the Enter Darkness (Crucifix Neck Crank).

Strachon
Moment of truth! Will Evan Envi tap out?

Evan’s face grimaces. He reaches for the ropes, but can’t get them. He tries to get to a knee, but Switch pulls him back down. Evan refuses to tap, but he’s quickly running out of options. He tries for the ropes again and gets his fingers close, but Switch pulls him away and tightens the hold. Evan tries to break the hold with his hands, but he can’t get any leverage. Instead Evan makes a final desperate grasp and barely manages to grab the ropes. 1… 2…. 3…. Swithblade lets go.

Daniel
And Evan Envi survives his trip into darkness.

Chrissy
Oh, I’m looking forward to the new Star Trek movie too. Chris Pine is hot.


Evan slowly claws his way to a standing position, but Switch is right there to grapple with him. Evan manages to knock Switch away. He runs and nails Switchblade with a high knee, but Switch is quick to his feet. Evan runs at Switchblade again, but this time Switch catches Evan and whips him toward the ropes. Evan bounces off the ropes and goes for a clothesline, but Switchblade ducks it. When Evan turns around, Switch hits him with a kick to the stomach and an Impact DDT before locking in Enter Darkness!

Strachon
Enter Darkness locked in! Right in the center of the ring!

Daniel
Evan Envi might have no choice but to tap out here.


Evan immediately reaches for the ropes, but he is nowhere near them. He tries to back pedal, but Switch puts more pressure on the neck and keeps Evan down. His face begins to turn purple, but he refuses to tap out. He tries to pry himself loose, but Switchblade has the hold too well applied. Evan’s eyes begin to roll back in his head as he reaches for ropes he can’t possibly reach. He refuses to give in. Although mentally he is unbroken, his body begins to fail him and Evan Envi goes limp in Switchblade’s hands.

Strachon
Evan Envi has passed out!

Chrissy
Oh no!


Evan is completely limp and the referee lifts his hand and drops it.

1…





2….



Evan cannot answer the call, and his hand falls to the mat a third time. The ref immediately calls for the bell and pulls Switchblade off of Evan.

Daniel
And Switchblade wins.

Hartley
Here is your winner, by way of knockout, representing WARPED…. SWITCHBLADE!

Daniel
Switchblade wins sixty thousand dollars, and most importantly pride. What a showing by Warped tonight.

Strachon
But Evan Envi refused to give in, and that says something. It says that kid is going places.

Chrissy
I just hope he’s okay.


As SwitchBlade is handed his case full of money, the referee checks on Evan. Switchblade rolls out of the ring with his money and makes his exit. Eventually, Evan rolls out of the ring as well. He walks down the ramp to some applause from the crowd who respect his effort.

The camera then cuts to a video of Carny Connection earlier in the day.

The camera pans down from the marquee of Madison Square Garden. As it lowers people are passing by the MASKED duo of The Carnival Connection dressed to the nines, with WARPED Tag Titles draped across their respective shoulders.

Mr. Rottentreats
The big city, the bright lights, the big apple. And Leon, wants us to have long happy careers? Our careers have already been places WARPED can only dream of. Places, that Flux in Motion‘s beady little brains couldn‘t even begin to fathom.

Douglas Fresh
Wah, wah, wah, there’s no history on them. Unlike you kids in the business today, we don’t write down every match we have, and tell a diary our experiences.

Mr. Rottentreats
If only my scars could talk, but than again.. Leon, would you even listen? NO, because you’re a disrespectful ingrate, that doesn’t deserve to even be listed in the Devolution title history as someone else’s successful title defense, much less as the title holder!

Douglas Fresh
And I’ll be damned! Damned, I SAY! If you are listed as a title holder, in OUR Tag Team Division. These are OUR Tag Team titles, and they will remain OUR Tag Team titles. Because this right here, this championship caliber tag team that you see before you. This right here is WARPED. My brother, Mr. Rottentreats, is WARPED!

Mr. Rottentreats
Maybe if you and Damien saddled up those high horses and moseyed on outside the city limits, of Pedoville, USA. Ya know, outside of your bubble, you’d realize. My contributions to WARPED and this business as a whole have been greater since my return in July, than any of yours in your short, pathetic almost year long career, Leon. Like, Douglas stated.. This right here, this is WARPED, MUTHAAAAAAAFLUXXXXAAAAAA!!

Douglas Fresh
And our “vision” for tonight, is that the amazing and demented duo of the Carnival Connection, successfully defend, and leave just enough Flux In Motion on the plate for our next title defense in Monaca, Pennsylvania. So, come all ye WARPED faithful, unholy, and downtrodden! Gather round those television sets. And witness, one of the greatest wrestling clinics in Madison Square Garden history, we’re about to school you, Leon and Damien.

Mr. Rottentreats
We live for the carnival, we die for the carnival, but we pray for the carnival, to take yoooouu awaaay!

Douglas Fresh
And you can put that on the hatchet, bitch!

After the video the camera cuts back to the entrance ramp where New Era Co-owner Mac Danny steps out from behind the curtain. Does he have entrance music? Maybe, but nobody cares.

Mac Danny
Good evening ladies and gents. First off I would like to thank Mr. Hearst for making NEWera Wrestling a part of this fantastic event. Visionary Wrestling will do great things for this industry and NEW is very proud to be a partner with VIW.

Chrissy
Suck up!

Mac
Tomorrow night in Toronto, Ontario, NEWera Wrestling will be putting on our December pay-per-view, The Challenger Series! The Challenger Series will see our World Heavyweight Champion James Stall defending the title against Tombstone, Eric Donavan, Nightmare, Priest and Disturbed inside a Hell in a Cell!

Daniel
That is some serious business.

Strachon
It’s going to be impossible for James Stall to retain under those circumstances.

Mac
Not only that, but The Wildebeest will defend the North American Championship against “The Sensational One” Romeo Stylez and Tag Team Champions Brandi Storm and Andy Titsuhiro will defend against Riot And Zoe McDraven.

Daniel
Riot is a well known tag team specialist and Zoe McDraven is no stranger to the tag team gold.

Chissy
Sounds like BrAndy will need to have a great match to be successful.

Mac
And two weeks later in the Mall of America in Minnesota, NEW will be having their Secret Santa show. Plenty of surprises await the superstars of NEWera Wrestling on December 30th!

Daniel
Sounds like NEWera Wrestling is as strong as ever.

Strachon
With new management taking over that’s exactly where NEW needs to be.


Mac nods his head and awkwardly ducks behind the curtain because Greg isn't that great at writing segments, at least not nearly as awesome as Will is, and hey this wouldn't be a New Era seg without a fourth wall break.

After Mac steps out the image for Challenger Series fades in.

Posted Image

And after it fades out we are ready for Tombstone vs. Bombtrack.

New Era Showcase Match

Hartley
Ladies and gentlemen tonight’s NEWera Showcase match will be held under no holds barred rules! Introducing first, from Battle Creek, Michigan... BOMBTRACK!


"Like A Prayer" by Madonna blasts on the PA system. The fans get up from their seats, some booing and some cheering as the top of the ramp begins to fill with smoke. The smoke gets thicker. Bombtrack bursts through the smoke and beats on his chest before throwing both arms into the air.

"When you call my name
It's like a little prayer
I'm down on my knees
I'm going to take you there."

Bombtrack pushes a cheap homemade coffin down to the apron and then slides into the ring. He climbs to the second turnbuckle; pounds hard on his chest with both fists then raises his arms in the air. He jumps down from the turnbuckle ready for action.

Strachon
Is this guy seriously coming out to a Madonna song?

Chrissy
I think it’s cute.

Daniel
We should be more concerned about that coffin

Strachon
Bombtrack usually comes out to the ring with a coffin for what he considers to be big matches.

Hartley
And his opponent, from Berlin, Germany, he is the NEWera Television Champion… TOMBSTONE!


The lights darken down to a deep red as 'Bückstabü' by Rammstein begins to play. A ring of fire forms in the center of the stage, a platform raising inside it. On the platform is Tombstone, wearing a leather trench coat and a top hat. The red lights cast an eerie shadow across his tattooed face as he stares straight down the ramp to the ring. Fire leaps from the side of the stage at the :19 second part of the song, Tombstone looking down to the ring. He stands there for a moment before stepping through the ring of fire. He slowly makes his way down the ramp, the crowd unsure of their thoughts of him. He stops next to the ring, reaching up to the ropes and pulling himself up on the ring apron. He steps over the top rope, slowly walking into the center of the ring. He reaches up, slowly removing the top hat and looking out over the crowd, giving them a good glimpse of the tattoos that cover his head and neck. He looks all around before removing his trench coat, revealing even more tattoos, handing that and the top hat to the nervous referee. The house lights come back up, the music fading out as Tombstone walks calmly to his corner.

Strachon
Tombstone’s undefeated streak in NEW dates back to the Tribute to Outkast show in late June of this year. He’s been their Television Champion since August and his streak includes victories over The Wildebeest, The Good Doctor and Eric Donavan.

Daniel
And Tombstone is not the kind of guy to take it easy just because tomorrow night he has a shot at NEW’s World Heavyweight Championship.


The bell rings and Tombstone and Bombtrack stand toe to toe in the middle of the ring while the crowd goes wild in a 50/50 split

LET’S GO TOMBSTONE!

Followed by

LET’S GO BOMTRACK!

Chrissy
This crowd is split right down the middle.

Daniel
Actually my analysis has it at 54% to 46% in favor of Tombstone.


BT ducks under a Stone haymaker and grabs his waist from behind. BT tries to lift him up for a german suplex, but Stone holds his ground. He runs and squashes BT into the turnbuckles. Stone then picks BT up and places him on the top turnbuckle. As Stone climbs up to meet BT on the turnbuckle, BT begins to use his head and smash it into Stone’s face. Stone falls off the top and hits the mat. BT perches himself on the top turnbuckle waiting for Stone to get back to his feet. When he does, BT dives off with an axe handle smash, but Stone powers through BT and flips him head over heels with a clothesline from hell.

Daniel
Did you see Bombtrack’s body flip like an Olympic diver?

Strachon
Tombstone went right through him!


He picks BT up and lifts him into fireman’s carry position for a death valley driver. BT spins out of it with a DDT on Stone, but Stone shoves BT off of him. BT quickly gets back up to his feet and runs at Stone. Stone goes for a big boot, but BT ducks under it and bounces off the ropes and takes Stone out of the ring with a clothesline. Bombtrack gets out of the ring on the opposite side of Stone and looks under it and pulls out a table and slides it into the ring. He then gets two steel chairs and slides them into the ring as well.

Chrissy
Bombtrack’s got wood!

Strachon
That line is so old Chrissy.


BT opens the table and sets up in the ring as Tombstone is on the outside peeling the safety padding off of a piece of the guardrail. BT runs off the ropes with a full head of steam and dives through the ropes with a suicide dive, but Stone moves out of the way and BT smacks his head onto the now exposed steel of the guardrail!

OHHHHHHHHHHH!

Daniel
There’s a potential concussion.

Strachon
Bombtrack loves taking big risks, but I think he got a little too fancy there.


Tombstone begins to muscle the section of guardrail out of its place. He gets half of the section separated, which easily frees the other side. Stone leans the section of guardrail up against the ring steps then turns his attention back to BT. He picks BT up and gives him a head butt. He grabs BT by the arms and goes to whip Bombtrack into the section of guardrail. BT reverses the whip and pulls Tombstone into him and hits an overhead belly-to-belly suplex causing Stone to hit the guardrail and get folded up against the ring steps.

HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!

Chrissy
Nice!

Daniel
Tombstone crashed and burned there Strachon!

Strachon
Where is Bombtrack off to?


BT is making his way towards the coffin. He opens it up and pulls out an entire spool of barbed wire and wire cutters.

Daniel
Things are about to get very physical.

Strachon
I guess this is that “demon” Bombtrack was talking about.


Using his bare hands, BT pulls out a strand of barbed wire and cuts it off. He pulls out another strand and cuts that off. Without caring for his own well-being, BT begins to wrap one of the strands of barbed wire around his hand and wrist. He then takes the second strand and wraps that around his other hand and wrist.

Chrissy
Look at his hands guys!

Strachon
Bombtrack has sliced up his hands wrapping that shit around himself.


Tombstone has just gotten up from the suplex against the guardrail. He turns around and gets struck in the face with a barbed wire covered right hand from BT. Stone stumbles backwards and is lying up against the section of guardrail. BT begins to pound Tombstone in the face with right and left hands. BT then rubs one of his barbed wire covered hands into Stone face. He lets Tombstone fall down to the floor in a bloody mess.

Daniel
Bombtrack is mincing Tombstone’s face and did a lot of damage to his own two hands in the process.

Strachon
That’s just how Bombtrack rolls.


As the referee is checking on Stone, BT picks up the wire cutters and makes his way over to the announce table. He hands the cutters to Strachon and yells.

CUT ME OUT OF THIS SHIT!

Strachon begins working on BT’s left hand carefully snipping and pulling the barbed wire out of his flesh. Tombstone is back up and is wearing a crimson mask of blood. He pushes past the referee and makes his way over to the announce table. Strachon has freed BT’s left hand from the barbed wire when Stone hits the scene. He punches BT right in the face then grabs his head and slams it into the announce table over and over and over again. Stone then grabs BT’s right hand and grinds it into his own face! BT screams out as Tombstone uses BT’s own bloody hand against him. He lets BT fall to the ground.

Daniel
Did you have fun participating in this match Strachon?

Strachon
I had no choice Daniel. The guy forced the wire cutters on me.


Stone picks BT back up and rolls him into the ring. Stone climbs back into the ring himself. He takes one of the steel chairs BT had earlier brought into the ring, opens it then does the same with the second chair. He pushes the two chairs together which are now in sitting position. Stone gets BT back up and begins yelling in his face.

IS VHIS VAT YOU VANTED!

Chrissy
This doesn’t look good from BT here.


Stone picks up BT and SLAMS HIM ONTO THE TWO STEEL CHAIRS WITH A LIFTING SPINEBUSTER!

V… I… DUB! V… I… DUB! V… I… DUB!

Stone makes the cover.

1…

2…

Strachon
Bombtrack kicks out!

Daniel
That spinebuster could’ve ruptured one of Bombtrack’s discs!


The referee is checking on BT as Tombstone takes the table that is set up in the ring and props it up in one of the turnbuckles. Tombstone pushes past the referee and lifts BT back to his feet. Stone picks up BT in a bearhug and runs with him towards the table. BT slides out of the position Stone has him in and now has Stone in a headlock. He climbs up with table with his feet attempting to give Stone an Acid Drop, but Tombstone holds BT up in the air and DUMPS HIM OVER THE TOP ROPES THROUGH THE COFFIN!

HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!

Daniel
Who knows what other weapons Bombtrack landed on as he crashed through the coffin?

Chrissy
I didn’t know Bombtrack could even get up that high.


Stone takes a knee to catch his breath as BT looks under the ring while laid out on the ground. He’s struggling as he tries to get a ladder out from under the ring. Inside the ring, Tombstone moves the chairs out of the ring as BT is getting the ladder.

Chrissy
Now the ladder is getting involved.


BT has got the ladder and slides it into the ring as Tombstone motions for BT to get back into the ring. Before he does, BT picks up the spool of barbed wire. He slides into the ring with it and goes to strike Stone, but Tombstone ducks, picks up BT and drops him with a sidewalk slam and makes the cover.

1…

2…

Strachon
Tombstone is a bloody mess, but is really taking it to Bombtrack now.

Chrissy
He’s undefeated for a reason boys.


Tombstone stands up against the turnbuckles as BT is using the ropes to pull himself back to his feet. When he does, Stone runs at with him with a big boot, but BT powers through him with a Death By Impact! (gore) BT makes the cover.

1...

2...










...










Strachon
Tombstone kicks out!

Daniel
That move has won Bombtrack so many matches in the past.

Strachon
He’s going to need more than that to defeat Tombstone.


BT takes the propped up table and sets it up in the middle of the ring. He gets Tombstone back up and rolls Stone onto the table. He then picks up the spool of barbed wire he uses it to tie Tombstone to the table! The crowd is in awe of what they are seeing.

Strachon
Tombstone is being tied down to that table with barbed wire! That has to fucking kill!

Chrissy
This is insanity.


When Stone is completely wrapped up, BT sets the ladder set up then exits the ring and looks through the debris of the coffin. He finds a bottle of lighter fluid and a Zippo. He takes a piece of the broken coffin as well and gets back into the ring.

Daniel
I don’t like the look in Bombtrack’s eyes.


BT places the lighter fluid in his back pocket and places the Zippo in his mouth. He begins to climb the ladder with the piece of the coffin in his hand. He stands on the rung just below the “this is not a step” platform of the ladder. He turns around so he is now facing the lifeless Tombstone. BT holds up the piece of coffin with one arm as the other reaches into his back pocket with his other. He squirts the lighter fluid all over the piece of the coffin then tosses the empty bottle into the crowd.

Chrissy
It’s going to get hot in here.


BT takes the Zippo out of his mouth and flicks it. The crowd goes wild as Bombtrack sets the section of coffin on fire! BT DIVES OFF THE LADDER USING THE PIECE OF FLAMING COFFIN TO GIVE TOMBSTONE THE DIG IT ELBOW DROP!

HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!

Strachon
OH MY GOD!

Daniel
Well that was certainly a first from Bombtrack.


When the smoke clears we see Tombstone and Bombtrack in a twisted tangled mess of barbed wire and table debris. BT wriggles himself free from the barbed wire and table debris and as he does the barbed wire gives him some nasty gashes. He makes the cover.

1...

2...










...










3!

NO! TOMBSTONE GETS HIS SHOULDER UP!

Daniel
This man absolutely refuses to quit. It’s unbelievable!

Chrissy
He’s not human.

Strachon
I know better than to believe in the supernatural, but Tombstone makes he think sometimes.


Bombtrack can’t believe it. The referee helps get the barbed wire off of Tombstone as BT catches his breath in the corner and readies himself to strike Stone with another DBI. After a few moments pass, Stone gets back up to his feet and BT runs at him for the Death By Impact, but Stone moves and Bombtrack crashes into the turnbuckles. Stone grabs him, double underhooks his arms and spikes Bombtrack with the Graveyard Shift! (double underhook kneeling piledriver). Tombstone makes the cover.

1...

2...










...










3!

NO! FOOT ON THE ROPES!

Strachon
I can’t believe it!

Chrissy
These NEW guys are made of steel!


Bombtrack is laid out on the mat breathing heavily as Tombstone stares down at him. He gets BT up and sets him up for another Graveyard Shift. BT breaks free and goes for a haymaker, but Stone ducks. Turn he turns back to Stone, he’s just able to duck a clothesline, boots Tombstone in the gut and double underhooks his arms. Bombtrack moves towards the tangled mess of barbed wire AND PLANTS HIMSELF AND TOMBSTONE INTO IT WITH THE END! (double underhook sit-out piledriver)

HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!

Bombtrack makes the cover.

1...

2...










...










3!

Daniel
WOW! What a match!

Strachon
The Streak is over!

Hartley
Here is your winner... BOMBTRACK!


Both men are laid out of the mat both a bloody mess and exhausted.

Chrissy
That was unbelievable.

Daniel
These two NEW superstars laid it all out here tonight and yes Bombtrack did win the match, but we’re all winners after seeing that war.


Medical staff comes down to the ring as still neither Tombstone or Bombtrack has moved from being entangled in the barbed wire.

Strachon
This match was made possible because of Visionary Wrestling and this is the level of competition is exactly what we’re going to being all year round.

Daniel
Visionary Wrestling is on the map now and we still have more matches including an amazing main event to look forward to.

Crowbar, WARPED Wrestling’s Interim GM, is seen walking around backstage through the halls at Showcase Zero, looking around Madison Square Garden and its underbelly. He roams around and looks at various talent walking around, getting ready to leave, and just recovering from matches.

Crowbar hears a familiar voice and heads towards it, stumbling across Joey Matthew, WARPED Wrestling’s usually unseen President. He walks up to Joey and shakes his hand. Joey, wearing dark blue jeans, a white shirt and a black leather jacket, smiles and nods as he accepts the handshake.

Joey Matthew
So, just a month after taking over the General Manager position, and you’re in Madison Square Garden. How about that?

Crowbar
Well, I never thought I’d be here period, but it’s pretty damned cool man. Good to see you here too, checking out our talent taking on...the world...how’s things been? Haven’t seen you in a while.

Joey Matthew
I’m sorry.. did you call me ‘man’?

Crowbar
My apologies. It’s pretty damned cool, Boss.

Joey puts both hands in his leather jacket and nods.

Joey Matthew
Forget the pleasantries. Leave those for later. Tonight has been a great night for WARPED. I think it’s safe to say that we’re making an impact tonight, and I just wanted to come by and make sure you weren’t up to any shenanigans like you’ve seemed to be up to lately... Glad to see you’re not.

Crowbar
It’s a showcase event, I’m not going to interfere with that in any way, shape or form, besides, from what we’ve both seen, except for Hugo, WARPED has cleaned house tonight without any dodgy tricks or assistance needed, I’m just here more as a fan and to actually cheer our boys on.

Joey Matthew
Well, try not to slack off too much. You’re on official WARPED business. Anyway, wish the boys congratulations. StarrZoe.. SwitchBlade with his $60k.. Amazing. Don’t go selling WARPED to him. I -

Suddenly “Old McDonald Had a Farm” starts playing. They both turn their heads toward a corner and around it stomps a giant sheep holding a black boombox. This “Sheep” is actually a man in a fun-loving sheep costume, and is WARPED Wrestling’s own “SHEEP SHEEP” .. the “feared” and “evil” giant sheep.. He stops in front of Joey and Crowbar and they both look at each other.

Crowbar
What the f...uh...hi...Sheep Sheep.

The “Sheep”, on its hind legs mind you, looks at both men.. his giant smiling sheep head struggling to turn side to side. He clicks off the boombox and his song stops.

SHEEP SHEEP
Bahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Both men jump back an inch.

Crowbar
Yeah, William Wallace is around here somewhere!

SHEEP SHEEP carries on down the hall as both men look at each other in disbelief and the scene fades..

Hartley
Ladies and gentlemen, the following match is for the WARPED Tag Team Titles and the Evolution Title and it is scheduled for one fall!


"Elevator Music" is playing as Flux in Motion stands in the ring.

Strachon
Flux in Motion didn't bother telling us how they would come down to the ring so we decided to leave that part out.


Hartley
Introducing first, FLUX IN MOTION!!!


The wah effect of the guitar of “Bad Side” by Twiztid hit’s the PA of The Tabernacle.

“At the end of the night, when the moon rises to illuminate what was hidden in shadows during the day.
A demon with white knuckle rage, anger, and anticipation, hatred, and segregation.
Murky waters are infected with the blood of the fallen.
You might wanna hang up the phone, incase heaven comes a callin’
Until then, we walk with the dead, here on the Bad Side”

Two females, obviously from a sideshow attraction, open up the curtain of the entrance way as the distorted bass line hits. The curtain opens to reveal Douglas Fresh posing in his bright yellow Ribera Steakhouse Jacket and black tear away pants and one of the WARPED Tag Team titles wrapped around his waist. Mr. Rottentreats baseball slides between his younger brothers legs than rises to his knees with his WARPED Tag Team title around his waist. They pose for a moment before making their way to the ring.

Upon reaching the ring, Douglas pulls himself up to the apron with help from the top rope and enters the ring through the middle and top ropes. Mr. Rottentreats ascends the ring steps and walks to the middle of the apron as Douglas climbs to the middle rope directly behind him and they pose. Douglas goes to their corner and removes his entrance gear and title. Treats follows suit after springing into the ring

Hartley
Their opponents, at a combined weight of 400 cannabis & protein shakes, the WARPED Tag Team Champions, CARNIVAL CONNECTION!!!


The referee takes the WAPRED Tag Team Titles and Evolution Titles and lifts them up in the air showing the crowd that cheers and showing the challengers.

Strachon
Carnival Connection defend their Tag Team Titles tonight against Flux In Motion, and Stone also puts his Evolution Title on the line but he must be pinned to lose the belt!


The referee then gives the three belts to a ringside tech and calls for the bell. It sounds and the match begins. Leon Stone and Sir Douglas Fresh start off. Both men come to the center of the ring. They quickly tie-up. Stone is the aggressor as he puts a headlock on. He applies it quite tightly and then is backed up against the ropes and tossed to the other side of the ropes by Fresh. Leon comes back and shoulder blocks Fresh down to the mat. Stone then runs to the ropes but Fresh rolls over and flips him over for a monkey flip.

Chrissy
I'm going bananas over that move.


Daniel
Why?


Strachon
Lolz, because it's called a Monkey Flip.


Douglas Fresh picks Leon up and then chops him in the chest. He now brings him into his own corner and tags in Mr. Rottentreats. He steps in the ring and gives off some body strikes to the mid section. Stone is left in the corner of Carnival Connection as Mr. Rottentreats boots him to the mid section a few times. The referee tells him to get him out of that corner!

Daniel
The referee is trying to maintain order.


Strachon
I'm trying to maintain entertainment at this announce table.


Chrissy
I'm trying to remember what maintain means.


Treats now pulls Stone out of the corner and on the ropes where he whips him off to the other side of the ring. Stone bounces off the ropes as he comes back and Treats is bent over perhaps for a back body drop... Leon see's this and takes advantage as he boots the face of him and then as Treats lifts his face up, Stone goes for a clothesline but Treats quickly counters into Welcome 2 The Carnival Muthafacko! (Double Underhook Back Breaker) but Stone escapes before he could land on the knee and turns it into an armdrag! Treats is up and comes at Stone who hits a Spinebuster! Stone covers..

1..

2..

Daniel
Treats kicks out of the first fall of the match.


Leon Stone now picks him up and body slams him down. He quickly runs to the corner and hops onto the second buckle. He leaps off with a legdrop and connects! He goes to hook the leg of Treats but decides otherwise. He grabs his leg and drags him over to his corner as Stone tags in Damien Baine.

Chrissy
Treats looks like he's in trouble right now.


Daniel
He definitely looks like he needs to make a tag.


Strachon
Excellent strategy for Baine and Stone to keep him out of his corner. Let's see if they can maintain it.


Chrissy
Will someone please tell me what that means.


Damien comes in and begins to stomp the back of Treats. He lifts him up as Stone steps in and they double team him. They whip him to the ropes. Treats is back but was tagged by Fresh unknowingly from Flux In Motion.. both men duck down and Treats kicks Stone in his face! Dougie Fresh enters as Damien looks up and Dougie points to the sky and Damien looks up and Dougie then slaps him across the face!

Daniel
Dougie Fresh has entered the fray.


Chrissy
Really? I didn't realize The Fray was recruiting members, and I didn't realize Dougie was a musician.


Leon and Treats fight to the outside floor while Fresh now whips Baine to the ropes. He then ducks down again and finally hits a back body drop on him. Damien rolls out of the ring as the fans are loving it.

Daniel
The crowds really getting into this one. I think I am too.


Fresh rolls out of the ring and goes after Baine. They brawl out as Fresh smacks Baine's head on the announcer's table. Treats and Stone on the other side of the ring battle as Stone has just rammed the head of Treats in the ring post. It's going all crazy outside of the ring as the referee counts and the crowd is loving it, hanging on their every move.

One...

Two...

Daniel
Baine now is rammed shoulder first into the steel steps.


Three...

Four...

Strachon
Stone picks up Mr. Rottentreats and whips him into the guard rail back first.


Five...

Six...

Baine is now tossed into the ring by Fresh who slides in under the bottom rope as well. The referee comes to the outside floor and breaks up Leon Stone and Mr. Rottentreats, and while this is happening, Douglas Fresh divides the legs and stomps the lower extremities of Damien Baine!! He immediately grabs at his crotch and the fans give off a mixed reaction with a ton of boos in there.

Chrissy
He kicked him right in his no-no square!


Daniel
No-no square?


Chrissy
That means you don't touch him there.


Having successfully divided the other two men, the referee re-enters the ring as Mr. Rottentreats and Leon Stone are now up to their corners. The 6'3" 233 Carnival Grounds residing Douglas Fresh now grabs the legs of Baine again but this time he doesn't go for the illegal shot.. he starts the Giant Swing! Around and around and around they go and where Douglas Fresh will stop nobody knows! And.. then he falls over. With both men down.. the referee starts a 10 count..

One...

Two...

Three...

Four...

Daniel
The crowd is watching to see who will get up first!


Strachon
Stone and Treats both have their hands out ready for a tag!


Daniel
Both men are slowly starting to stir..


Five...

Six...

Seven...

They both begin to move and go to their corners. Both men tag in their partners.

Strachon
Hot tag!


Chrissy
Are you sure it's not a cold tag?


Daniel
Tags have temperatures?


Chrissy
*Giggles*


Strachon
Lolz.


Both Leon Stone and Rottentreats come into the ring. They begin to fight as Mr. Rottentreats punches Stone in the chops and then whips him up the ropes. He runs at Stone and hits a rolling elbow, taking him down. Damien Baine is back into the ring and Treats applies a cravate and flips him over onto his back! Stone is up and Treats pokes him in the eyes and hits a Gutbuster! He covers, driving his forearm into the face of Stone..

1..

2..

Daniel
Damien Baine breaks it up!


Douglas Fresh runs at Damien as he clotheslines him over the top rope. Mr. Rottentreats now lifts Leon up and boots him to the mid section. He sets him up for a Cradle Brainbuster and he lifts him up and drops him with the Midway Buster!! He covers, driving the forearm in the face again..

1..

2..

Chrissy
Kickout!


Mr. Rottentreats gets on top of him now and puts both hands in the sides of Leon's mouth and pulls to the side, fish hooking him!!! Stone kicks his feet on the mat and waves his arms as the referee yells at Treats to knock that off! Treats backs off as the fans boo. He puts the boots to Stone repeatedly and the referee forces him to back up.

Chrissy
Stone's between a rock and a hard place!


Strachon
You didn't just say that.


Damien Baine comes into the ring out of nowhere though and saves his partner as he clubs Treats in the back with an axe handle smash. Fresh comes in the ring and both him and Baine go at it again. Fresh goes for an irish whip but its blocked by Baine and he kicks him in the gut and DDT's him to the mat! The referee tells Damien to get to his corner and he apologizes and makes his way there...as Douglas Fresh rolls out of the ring, clutching his head.

Daniel
This action is fantastic!


Strachon
But who will win?


As for Stone and Treats, Leon has taken the advantage since the brief interruption by Damien earlier. Leon lifts him up and charges with his body into the corner. Treats goes back first into the ring post. Leon now begins to hit shoulder blocks, attacking the midsection of Treats. Leon Stone now scoops Treats up onto the top and climbs. Treats starts battling back with forearms to the face and Stone drops onto the mat back-first. Treats readies himself, gaining his balance.. Stone starts up to his feet.. Treats leaps off and Stone leaps up with a dropkick to the chest to counter it!! The fans cheer and Stone rushes into a cover..

1..

Daniel
Treats' foot is under the rope!


Strachon
The ref is saying to break it up!


Frustrated, Leon Stone tags in Damien Baine who comes in and begins to work on Mr. Rottentreats. Damien hits him with a neckbreaker.

Cover..

1..

2..

Chrissy
Kick out!


He picks him back up and goes for a belly to back suplex and hits it! He covers..

1..

2..

Chrissy
Kick out!


Douglas Fresh starts talking trash from the apron now and spits his gum at the face of Damien Baine! This sends Baine into an irate state as he swings at Fresh but Fresh pulls the rookie's head over down as he jumps off the apron and his throat comes down on the rope! Damien grabs at his throat as he turns around into Mr. Rottentreats who hits a CUTTER! Treats makes the cover...

1...

2...

Chrissy
Kick o-


Strachon
Leon Stone breaks it up!


Chrissy
You interrupted me!


Strachon
I'm trying to entertain people!


The referee gets between Stone and the competitors now and forces Stone back to his corner. Meanwhile, Fresh slides in and both he and Treats doubleteam stomp the body of Damien Baine! The fans boo as Fresh exits to his apron just in time for the referee to turn around.

Chrissy
They're cheating!


Strachon
The referee didn't see it.


Daniel
But they were cheating.


Strachon
Doesn't matter. No one saw it.


Chrissy
I saw it.


Strachon
You don't count.


Treats now brings Baine to his feet and pulls him to the corner. He tags his partner and Douglas Fresh comes in and they both hook an arm and hit a double suplex on Baine! The ref makes sure Treats gets out on the apron and Fresh yells at the ref to turn around and count as he's got the pin, his forearm into the face of Baine..

1..

But Stone was already on his way in to break it up and Fresh moves just in time for Stone to drop an elbow on his partner! Stone gets up and his jaw drops as Douglas Fresh laughs at him! Meanwhile, Baine gets to his feet and from the apron Mr. Rottentreats takes a drink of his can and spews FAYGO into the face of Baine!! As that is happening, Fresh clotheslines Stone to the outside!

Daniel
He just spit his drink into the man's eyes.


Chrissy
Maybe it tasted yucky and he didn't like it.


The referee has lost all order of this match and didn't see the liquid go into the eyes of Baine and he is blinded and turns right into a kick to the gut and a Double Underhook Backbreaker from Dougie Fresh!

Strachon
Welcome To the Carnival Muthafacko!


Daniel
Woah! Watch the language.


Strachon
But that's the name of the move.


He now grabs both legs and turns him over into an elevated boston crab much like the Liontamer!

Strachon
And now he's locked in The Carnival Crab!


Leon Stone slides into the ring and Mr. Rottentreats quickly gets in as well and Stone charges at Treats with THROWING STONES spear and takes him down!!

Daniel
DOWN GOES TREATS! DOWN GOES TREATS! DOWN GOES TREATS!


Strachon
Woah! Calm down Dan.


Daniel
Sorry, I got a bit carried away.


Leon gets to his feet to help out his partner, though, Damien Baine is forced to tap out and Leon didn't make it in time! The referee calls for the bell!

Hartley
Your winners, and STILL WARPED Tag Team Champions - Carnival Connection!


Dougie has not let the submission go though as his music hits and the referee tells him to get off!! Leon now pushes him off and the two get face to face! Leon tells Fresh that he got lucky to keep the titles and Fresh tells Leon he should be happy he wasn't the one to tap cause he'd lose his Evolution Title!!

Daniel
The match may be over but I don't think the action is.


Chrissy
It bout to get cray.


Mr. Rottentreats now slips behind Stone and spins him around but Leon delivers a hard right hand! Damien Baine then low blows Douglas Fresh and both men now whip him into the ropes.. Baine with a flapjack and Stone with a Cutter!! The fans pop!

Strachon
You're Fluxed!


Daniel
Language...


Strachon
It's the name of the move.


Mr Rottentreats gets to his feet and both men are ready... Baine lifts him up and Stone drops him with the Cutter! "Supernatural" by Monocle hits the PA system as Baine and Stone stand tall in the ring. The referee hands the WARPED Evolution Title to Stone as he puts it on his shoulder. These two teams will fight yet again in a Three Way Ladder Match for the gold at WARPED Wrestling's debut on iPPV December 23rd, The Not So Silent Night, live Monaca, Pennsylvania!

Backstage, Bobbie Hearst sits in his office. On his desk is a small light brown Hamster. Lawrence Jacobson enters.

Lawrence
Robert.

He notices the hamster.

Lawrence
What is that?

Bobbie
This is just the thing Visonary Wrestling needs. SCW has Hardcore Monkey. Warped has Sheep Sheep. I give you…. Hammy Jr! Visionary Wrestling’s official animal mascot.

Lawrence
A hamster?

Bobbie
Not just any hamster, Hammy Jr. is the son of legendary hamster wrestler, Hammy J!

Lawrence puts a hand on Bobbie’s shoulder.

Lawrence
Robert, I’ll admit. When you first told me about wanting to start a wrestling promotion, I was skeptical, but this little gamble of ours is turning out quite well so far, but this, this is ridiculous.

Bobbie
Larry, Larry, Larry, trust me.

Lawrence
This is what you called me in here for?

Bobbie nods. Lawrence grumbles.

Lawrence
I have actual business to attend to.

Lawrence exits. After he does so Vic Valentine enters, ominously followed by Hardcore Monkey. Don’t know Vic Valentine? Don’t worry. We didn’t expect you to.

Bobbie
Just who I wanted to see.

Vic
Eyeh, Vic Valentine was lookin for you too.

Bobbie
What? Who are you? I was talking to the monkey.

Vic
Vic Valentine was wondering why he wasn’t booked in a match tonight.

Bobbie
Tell him we’re pretty booked.

Vic
No. I’m Vic Valentine.

Bobbie
Oh… You want a match? Alright, you can face the monkey.

Vic
What? It’s a stupid monkey!

Hardcore Monkey smacks Vic on the shin.

Vic
OW!

Bobbie
Hey! You got a problem with the monkey? You can settle it in the ring like a man… or monkey.

Well, that happened. Back to the action.

Hartley
The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is the Match Made In Twitter!

Daniel
I don't get all the hype that surrounds this guy, I mean ...

Chrissy
Guys is it cold in here all of a sudden? I mean I just … brrr!

Strachon
You're kidding me, right Daniel? That guy is known all over the world as the Messiah of Violence. He once crucified half a locker room to prove a point! He's one of the most dangerous men in this business ...

Suddenly the lights in the arena are cut, and the fans are left sitting in darkness. They immediately get restless, and after a few seconds a heavy kick drum pattern echoes through the arena. The fans begin to boo immediately. The steady quarter notes on that bass drum continue for another three or four measures, before a distorted guitar kicks in. In sequence, in time with those kick drum patterns red and gold spotlights begin to flash on the entrance ramp and then the unmistakeable voice of Marilyn Manson sounds again.


"Who'll ride this dying carousel?

Four rusted horses strangled by their own rope."



The curtain parts and out steps Gryphon, showered by a massive wave of boos from the fans in attendance, and as he steps out onto the stage and walks slowly and methodically down the ramp, Sabra appears a good four or five steps behind him.

Hartley
Ladies and gentlemen, now coming to the ring from Flagstaff, Arizona, and weighing in tonight at 238 pounds ...he is “The Great American Nightmare”, GRYPHON!!!!


“What children love is singing 'we'll know that their tied hearts sit broke,'

'That their tied hearts sit broke'"



Hartley's announcement is punctuated with a chorus of boos as Gryphon starts down that ramp. The cameraman steps in close and focuses on Gryphon's face: The Great American Nightmare's wraparound sunglasses prevent his eyes from being seen on camera, but that solemn, neutral expression on his face is ever present, and as it almost always is, those eyes, if they weren't shielded, would be leveling the thousand yard stare at the cameraman and the opponent in the ring. Taking a few more steps, Gryphon smirks slightly, looking into the ring and just as the chorus of that song hits he drops to his knees with his hands held out to his sides and leaning back, looking up into the rafters of the arena.


"Everyone will come, everyone will come to my funeral

To make sure that I stay dead


Everyone will come, everyone will come to my funeral

To make sure that I stay dead"



As that chorus hits and Gryphon holds his hands up to the sky, rapid fire pyro at the top of the stage erupts in alternating red and gold sparks. Gryphon gets back to his feet slowly and starts in on the ring. With a glance to Sabra he nods and slowly ascends the ringside steps, showered in boos and erupting flashbulbs. He smirks, grabbing onto the top rope with both hands and vaulting himself into the ring. Taking off his coat and glasses, he backs up against the corner and waits.

Hartley
And his tag team partner, from Chicago Illinois and weighing in tonight at 277 pounds, he is “The Mechanical Animal” …. JACKSON!!!

Strachon
Maybe second only to THIS GUY … #Damage, baby!

Daniel
Holy shit he's big. Remind me not to get near him backstage.

Chrissy
I've seen him! There's girls in the crowd with his t-shirt on with the bull!

Strachon
Chrissy … never mind. Brad Jackson has likely held more titles than you have active brain cells and all you can talk about is his No Bull All Skill t-shirt. But please #GoAhead.

The lights dim, heavy mist filling the ramp as strobe lights begin to pulse slowly. A steady bass throb begins, growing in volume, sounding much like a heartbeat. A single gunshot shatters the silence, followed by mocking laughter and Jackson's voice hurling insults before the music skips, and then the sounds of 'Lies' by Evanescence filters through the speakers. Dark red strobes pulsate on the entranceway, and a dark figure moves among them, stepping forward as indigo fountains of pyrotechnic spark either side of him. He strides forwards, ignoring the crowd reaction. He circles the ring once, his eyes steady, a look of angry concentration on his face, before ascending the ring steps and climbing between the ropes. Jackson stands in the middle of the ring, his head thrown back in a triumphant roar as the music comes to a grinding halt, cut off with a squeal of feedback.

Daniel
Creepy. Just. Creepy.

Chrissy
Hey what happened to the lights? Did they forget to pay the power bill?

Strachon
The power bill, she says. Just watch, Chrissy. Just watch.

Hartley
Now coming to the ring from Brighton England and weighing in tonight at 175 pounds, he is The Ghost of SCW … ADRIEN SPECTER!!!

Chrissy
How come he's wearing just part of a mask?

Strachon
You really don't want to know, Chrissy.

Daniel
Just take Sam's word on it.

As “Carpe Diem Baby" by Metallica plays over the PA, Adrien walks out from the back with the SCW TV title strapped around his waist, as the crowd welcomes him out. Slowly he makes his way down to the ring, slowly climbing in between the ropes, and getting up on the corner turnbuckle, before taking off the TV title and holding it into the air for the fans.





Hartley
And his tag team partner, from Eberswalde, Germany and weighing in tonight at 215 pounds … he is The Sensation Not From This Nation … HENRIK GOEREN!!!!

Daniel
Are you serious? I hear this guy is a real pain in the ass.

Chrissy
Oooh pretty colors! Look at all the fireworks!

Strachon
Pain in the ass or not, pound for pound he's one of the more dangerous competitors out there today.

The arena lights dim as the opening chords of "Sieben" by Subway to Sally blare over the arena's loudspeakers. The fans jump to their feet amidst a chorus of boos as the ViWtron crackles to life with a revolving pair of gold letters: A.G.

A massive red and gold pyro explosion goes off at the top of the ramp and rattles the arena as the curtain is pulled back and Azrael Goeren calmly makes his way out to greet his "adoring" fans. Goeren is dressed in a pair of disturbingly tight black leather pants along with a mesh top and bright red ring boots. He flashes his trademark smirk and blows kisses to each side of the arena before slowly making his way down the ramp. As he approaches the ring, red and gold glitter begins to fall from the rafters as Azrael basks in his overproduced entrance.

He finally makes it to ringside but stops and tries to slap hands with a few fans nearby who predictably recoil away from him. He slides underneath the bottom rope and climbs to the second turnbuckle, glaring out at the seething audience with another twisted grin before jumping down and reclining up against the ring ropes.

Daniel
All four competitors in the ring … wait, what the ...

Chrissy
Oh lookie! YAY!

Strachon
You have got to be shitting me.



The audience cheers as Tim Tebow comes down the ramp, he hurries after Goeren and Specter and waves to the fans, setting himself up near their corner and he tries to engage them in a little pre-match prayer for good luck. The cameras clearly catch Strachon as he rolls his eyes.

Daniel
I'm not sure why Tebow has chosen to come out here to support Specter and Goeren.

Chrissy
The power of the Lord is on his side, maybe he wants to recruit them to Team Jesus?

Strachon
You have got to be shitting me... x2. #TebowsNuts those two guys are more likely to tie him up and put him over an open spit for a BBQ.

Chrissy
Ew. Eating people is wrong!

Goeren looks at Specter, more specifically at his head and makes a motion that looks as if he is miming a hat. Specter shakes his head and points toward the middle of the ring where the referee is calling all four men over. Jackson crosses his arms over his chest and stares down Goeren who still seems more concerned that Adrien isn't wearing the gift he sent him – along with the invoice, of course, from Goerengear.com. Gryphon and Specter exchange looks and then Specter extends his hand to Gryphon who without hesitation shakes it once firmly. Goeren doesn't seem too pleased with this, but he backs off as Specter indicates he wants to start for his side.

Jackson and Gryphon confer for a moment and then Jackson fades back to their corner to slide between the ropes and take his place on the apron. Sabra from her spot yells something out in Russian that has Gryphon smile slyly and Jackson roared with laughter, obviously understanding her. Specter and Gryphon begin to circle each other as the referee calls for the bell, the crowd rustles with excitement as the pair clash in the center of the ring. They start out with a rapid exchange of moves, Adrien applying a classic wristlock that Gryphon deftly counters into a lock of his own that has Specter's eyebrows raise up in surprise. Gryphon torques it and moves to turn it into a hammerlock, but Specter keeps his cool and plants his foot before using the other to hook Gryphon's ankle and yanks it to the side, taking him off his center and causing him to release the hold. A legsweep takes Specter down to the mat where Gryphon executes a spinning toe hold, adding extra torque on the knee and ankle as he steps over the leg and around again.

Daniel
That looks damn painful.

Chrissy
He'll be okay, Specter looks pretty tough especially with that mask!

Strachon
Well Daniel it is damn painful, and I should know I was a hardcore champion in SCW for five minutes! These two men showing that their technical skills are beyond reproach here tonight.

Goeren is showing his support of his tag partner by hitting the top turnbuckle and he cheers as his efforts are rewarded it seems as Adrien gets out of the hold and uses his free boot to shove Gryphon off. Adrien is quick to his feet though he is careful with the leg that Gryphon has been working on, doing a forward roll to get to his corner and tag in. Gryphon grins evilly as he watches this, fading back and casually extending his hand for Jackson to tag in.

Daniel
Azrael Goeren and Brad Jackson in the ring for the first time in this match.

Chrissy
He's scary. And the other one his eyes give me bad feelings.

Strachon
You ever get that feeling that something bad was about to happen?

Jackson opens with an elbow smash clothesline that takes Goeren completely off his feet to the mat, but he is aware enough to roll out of the way of Jackson's boot going for his head in a curb stomp. Jackson pursues but Goeren makes the ropes and the referee backs the big man from Chicago off. Goeren rises and zips around the referee to deal out a high knee that catches Jackson in the lower chest and belly, bending him down for a hangman's neckbreaker in the middle of the ring. They go down in a tangle and scuffle for position when suddenly with a primal roar Jackson comes off the mat with Goeren locked in his arms where he suffers a picture perfect Northern Lights suplex! Jackson is on his feet first and comes down on Goeren's exposed back with a double axehandle smash that flattens him, a sick grin on Jackson's face as he pulls the German born Cancer of Wrestling to his feet again. Goeren fights out and shoves Jackson before taking his wrists and with all his might spins him for an Irish whip at the ropes.

Jackson rebounds and Goeren jumps up for a nasty bicycle kick that takes both men down to the mat. Sabra smacks her hands on the apron to cheer Jackson on, both men getting to their feet at roughly the same time. Goeren attempts a reverse bulldog but Jackson backflips out of it much to the surprise of everyone involved! An elbow is smashed into Goeren's chin and he snarls, stomping Jackson's instep and bringing a knee up between his legs that Jackson deftly turns with his hip avoiding #Damage to the jewels. Azrael backs Jackson against the ropes where he assaults him with mounted fists and elbows until Jackson headbutts him viciously! Blood is trickling from the nose of Goeren which makes his eyes widen in rage, he ignores the referee's order to let Jackson out of the ropes until a four count, but as he moves to step back Jackson lunges and yanks him up, dumping him out of the ring with a military press slam that bounces him off the apron to the floor.

Daniel
Goeren taking a moment to recover on the floor, Jackson seems pleased with that result.

Chrissy
Look how nice Tebow is, he's helping Mister Goeren to his feet.

Strachon
Does no one else see how this could end badly?

Goeren looks at Tebow's hand where it has circled his bicep as Sabra laughs at his expression. Goeren gives her a hungry look but yanks his arm free of Tebow and slides onto the apron and under the bottom rope to regain the ring. He is met by a missile dropkick from Jackson who rolls to his feet and tags in Gryphon! Goeren scrambles to his feet and wipes his top lip with his wrist, the blood smears and gives him a savage look. Gryphon moves with methodical almost machine-like precision as he approaches Goeren, circling him as Goeren turns with him. The pace seems agonizing to the German grappler and finally he breaks, lunging at Gryphon for an obvious knife edged chop …

and Gryphon suddenly deftly moves back and ducks between the ropes, upper body on the other side! Goeren halts as the referee inserts himself between the pair, ordering Goeren to back off. Gryphon ducks back in and Goeren's first chop connects until Gryphon dodges behind him and shoves! He whirls but Gryphon has moved to the near ropes again, ducking through them and calling out to the referee to check his pads!

“He's got something, fucking check him!”

Goeren's eyes widen and then narrow as he harangues Gryphon in German but lets the referee check his pads. The referee shakes his head and Gryphon is back in the ring, feinting around Goeren. The pair lock up with a classic collar and elbow tie up, shoving for a position of strength. As the pair get nearer the ropes again this time Goeren is wise to Gryphon's tactics and yanks him off-balance with a hiptoss, but as Gryphon is back on his feet he's getting the referee's attention again.

“Check him again, check his boots, he's got something!”

The fans are roaring with cheers and laughter as Gryphon winks at the enraged Goeren, the referee checking his boots but shaking his head to indicate that he's clean. Goeren's expression clearly translates 'are you fucking serious' and he makes a rude gesture towards Gryphon only to have his arm caught and twisted into a hammerlock. Gryphon walks him around the ring a moment and then shoves him away, as Goeren turns he pops his hips and fires off a Talon Kick that catches Goeren square in the jaw.

Daniel
Holy hell that looks like it smarts!

Chrissy
Oooh is he out cold? Should Tebow get him an ice pack now?

#ShootMeNow. That's the Talon Kick, one of the most devastating superkicks in the business today.

Goeren gets to his feet and seems to have snapped, a weird light in his eyes as he closes with Gryphon. The pair begin exchanging hard punches and chops, the crowd excitedly WOOOOing with each hard impact. Gryphon's chest is instantly reddened as Goeren unleashes, Gryphon's fucking with him to get in his head seemingly has backfired and lit Goeren's rage fuse. As they hit the ropes Goeren backs Gryphon over the top rope and both men are striking with closed fists, when Gryphon switches up and grapples with Goeren, getting him into position for a front gulliotine choke! Goeren knows they are at the ropes and wildly reaches for the top strand, his aching fingers finally touching it, they slide off twice before he can get a solid grip. The referee forces the break and Goeren hits Gryphon with more punches and the referee is shouting to get through to the two fighting men. Gryphon is taking a vicious beating and the referee finally has had enough.

Referee
One more with a closed fist and I'll ring the bell!

The referee acts like he's going to call it, seeing that Gryphon's brow is split open and blood is trickling down his face, his hand raises and Gryphon growls at him.

Gryphon
You ring that bell and I'll kill you.

This of all things seems to get through to Goeren and he backs away, letting Gryphon out of the ropes. Gryphon shakes out the cobwebs and nods at Azrael, and the pair lock up again exchanging a fine series of surprisingly crisp chain wrestling that has the audience back on its feet again, Specter and Jackson both looking on in appreciation! As they move they get in close to Specter's corner and he reaches out to tag himself in. Specter runs past where Goeren has hold of Gryphon after the tag, Goeren shoving the Great American Nightmare forward into Specter's grasp as the referee warns him to get out of the ring. Adrien gets Gryphon into a three-quarter facelock and runs up the corner turnbuckles and jumps backwards as the crowd explodes into cheering, the backflip crisp as he lands face down on the mat as Gryphon's back impacts hard with the canvas.


Strachon
What a wonderful shiranui by Adrien Specter, I hear he calls that Fight or Flight.

Daniel
Well whatever it is, the fans are loving it! This is fantastic!

Chrissy
Uhm wow Daniel Sam just told you ... anyway that was way cool!

Adrien is quick to cover and hook the leg, the referee drops into position for a count.

1!

2!!

SHOULDER UP!

Adrien looks up at the referee as if to question if it were two or three and Gryphon shoves him off violently. Jackson at this point is standing on the bottom rope and reaching his arm out to full length for a tag, and Gryphon makes it to his feet before Specter, fading back to let the Mechanical Animal back into the ring! Jackson and Specter clash hard, Jackson seems as if he is going for a headbutt but at the last second shies away from it. A fast belly-to-belly suplex comes instead, both men hitting the ring hard. Jackson levers himself to his feet and draws a semi-stunned Specter to his feet before with an almost casual yank lifts the Ghost of ACW right up into position for a vertical suplex … but he holds him in the air with his immense strength, the fans fired up now and none of them remember that they should be booing every man in this match. Jackson effortlessly holds Specter up as a myriad of cellphone cameras flash and halo both men with their light, and then drops him for a ring shaking suplex, both men laid out a moment from the force of the impact.

Adrien rolls to his side as Jackson stares up at the ceiling of Madison Square Garden with a wide grin on his face, both men getting up roughly at the same time and circling each other warily. Jackson ducks in fast with a football tackle, driving them into the corner where he shoves his shoulder into Adrien's gut. Adrien catches him with a knee strike in the face as he rears back for a second gutcheck, Jackson staggers back and Specter catches him with a jumping cutter as the crowd goes nuts. Adrien sees Jackson stirring and he rolls to his hands and knees, going to tag Goeren in but Jackson is up and catches him, bringing him up and over for a release German suplex. This actually serves Adrien better as Goeren is able to reach and tag himself in, hopping the rope and charging at Jackson! He catches him with a European Uppercut as Adrien rolls under the bottom rope to recover on the apron.

Daniel
Nice moves from Azrael Goeren, but he better be careful, in Jackson's hands is the last place he wants to be!

Chrissy
Are they allowed to do that?

Strachon
Well not technically Chrissy, once a tag is made the other man IS supposed to leave the ring, but this is Jackson and Gryphon and well … #HeelShit.

Jackson and Goeren have gone to war exchanging seriously vicious strikes on each other and holding nothing back, Goeren doesn't realize what's happening until its too late - Gryphon and Jackson having known each other for years work seamlessly as Gryphon reaches over Azrael to tag Jackson's shoulder. Jackson yanks Azrael right off his feet and into the air straight up as Gryphon leaps the rope and hits his springboard lariat onto the held Goeren!

Strachon
ECLIPSE! Holy shit!

Jackson leaves the ring as Goeren flops onto the mat, Gryphon coming to his feet to stare down at the former CWC World Heavyweight Champion. Gryphon moves as if he is going to attempt a pin, but something catches his eye. Adrien Specter standing on the apron with his hand out and his chin up, meeting Gryphon's gaze across the ring. Gryphon looks back at Jackson as Goeren stirs, showing his real resiliency and Jackson also looks across the ring at Specter and then nods just slightly. Goeren gets to his feet as Gryphon reaches for a small folded gauze pad Sabra hands up to him, daubing the blood from his split brow away. Goeren kicks his leg and then goes for his corner, tagging in the waiting Adrien Specter! Gryphon and Adrien lock up, switching back and forth with old school grappling moves that have Jackson putting his fingers to his lips and whistling in appreciation. They flow easily from move to move, countering with sheer skill and veteran instincts the moves of the other as if they had practiced this for years. The fans were on their feet after the latest exchange, flipping each other into a double roll through! Gryphon comes up to a knee, smiles, and gets to his feet and starts clapping while they circle each other again. Adrien's eyes seem to light up and the pair clash again.

Daniel
I … I've never seen anything like this. I … good God that was amazing.

Chrissy
Sam? Sam are you okay? Sam are you … crying?

Strachon
No. I'm a manly former Hardcore Champion, I'm not crying. That … ladies and gentlemen I hope you were watching that, because you just don't see things like this anymore. That ...that is real wrestling. You're lucky if you're here to see this in person, but if you couldn't get a ticket at least you have this to look forward to on the Showcase Zero DVD!

Adrien breaks out with a wonderful spinning heel kick, his DeViate, rocking Gryphon back against the ropes. He fades back to the far side to build up momentum to come back at Gryphon seeking the knee to the gut that would lead into the Vene Vidi Vici but Gryphon explodes into motion and runs at him to catch him with a rolling leg-hook suplex! He holds the leg as they move and bridges for a pin! The crowd goes absolutely insane as the referee slides into place to count.

Strachon
NIGHTMARE DRIVER! NIGHTMARE DRIVER!

1!

The crowd chants along as Goeren enters the ring and runs toward the pair to break up the pin …

2!!

But as he jumps up to come down on the pair with a flying elbow Jackson appears out of nowhere with a huge football tackle that crumples them both to the mat!

3!!!!!!

Hartley
And here are your winners, the team of The Mechanical Animal and The Great American Nightmare … BRAD JACKSON and GRYPHON!!!!!!!!!

Daniel
Amazing, that was amazing. What a match!

Chrissy
I'm so excited! I'm glad I have this job!

Strachon
I … I need a moment to compose myself.


Sabra joins them in the ring, her smile angelic and happy as Jackson and Gryphon raise each other's arms in victory! She claps and dances, then her hand goes to her lips as the pair move towards Adrien Specter who is now sitting up. They stand over him … and then as one they lift him to his feet, and raise his hands! Adrien looks moved, and Sabra darts in and gives him a quick embrace. Goeren gets to his feet on his own, holding his side where Jackson impacted with him, and he stands there a moment uncertain as to what will happen next. Then Jackson moves forward and puts his hand out toward the German, who seems wary of an expect assault, but finally takes his hand and shakes it as if he senses this is a moment that may never happen again. Gryphon gives him a nod, and he returns it … just as Tim Tebow enters the ring.

Daniel
And Tim Tebow just entered no man's land.

Chrissy
Aw he's going to console his team ...

Strachon
PIE FACE! Goeren piefaced Tim Tebow!

Tebow staggers and Gryphon grips him by the shoulder, spins him around to face him and then suddenly spits, his red Asian mist attack the Dokugiri catching Tebow right in the face! Jackson is there and punches Tebow in the gut, and as the poor man folds he is struck with a hard Talon Kick from Gryphon! He falls back and Jackson catches him, then spins him into his double underhook facebuster, Something Wicked! Tebow is left crumpled on the mat out cold as the four men from the match and Sabra exit the ring.

Tebow does not stir as Sam Strachon has abandoned his post at the announcer's table, enters the ring, and literally kicks Tim Tebow while he's down! Sam grins as he leaves the ring and rejoins Daniel and Chrissy.

Chrissy
That was terribly mean, Sam.

Strachon
Yeah, but it felt so good.

Daniel
I agree with Chrissy, Sam. That was uncalled for, and unprofessional.

Strachon
Oh, come on. It's not like he's going to have to play tomorrow.


Chrissy
We still have our main event to go.
 
Bobbie Hearst

Daniel
Well the night is almost done.

Chrissy
And what a night it's been.

Strachon
But we've got one more quick, unannounced match to go before we get to the one you really want to see. I call it our Ryback match.


Hartley
Ladies and Gentlemen, in the ring at this time… Vic Valentine.

Strachon
Oh this guy’s dead.

Chrissy
How do you know?

Strachon
He didn’t even get to come out to music. He’s a gonna.


The lights dim. A spotlight clicks on and appears on the top of the entrance ramp. Smoke billows out as a dark laugh can be heard. Then “Clint Eastwood” by the Gorillaz hits. Hardcore Monkey appears wearing a pair of monkey sized sunglasses and driving a RV Jeep. The Jeep stops at the entrance ramp and it begins to bounce up and down revealing that it is in fact a low rider jeep!

Strachon
Oh, that’s cool.

Dan
A man is about to face a monkey. This is ridiculous.

Strachon
That monkey is a respected hardcore champion.

Hartley
And his opponent, he is a former SCW Hardcore Champion… the SCW Hardcore Monkey!


Huge pop for the monkey as he comes driving down to the ring. He stops at the ring steps. Jumps off the jeep and onto the barricade where he gives his sunglasses to a fan before jumping of and climbing into the ring.

Chrissy
What a nice monkey.

Strachon
#Adorable #BabyfaceMonkey


The Hardcore Monkey and Vic Valentine meet in the center of the ring. Hardcore Monkey extends his paw toward Vic, but Vic smacks it away.

Strachon
Terrible sportsmanship from Vic Valentine.

Dan
I’m sorry. I can’t bring myself to commentate on this match.

Strachon
Someone’s being a gloomy gus.

Chrissy
I thought his name was Dan.

Strachon
Oh, honey.


The bell rings and Vic lunges at Hardcore Monkey, but Hardcore Monkey jumps on Vic’s head and then off his back. Vic turns around and goes to grab the monkey again. This time Hardcore Monkey slides under Vic’s legs before hitting hitting him in the butt with a dropkick that sends Vic into the ropes. Vic Valentine is trapped on the middle rope and Hardcore Monkey wastes no time. He runs, jumps, grabs the top and middle rope, and swings around to nail Vic with a 619!

Strachon
Dial it up! 619!


Vic rolls backward and gets to his feet. The Hardcore Monkey jumps off the top rope and takes Vic with a crossbody.

Strachon
Somebody call his mama!

Chrissy
It’s a flying monkey!

Strachon
Oh, that’s good. We’ll call it one of his signature moves, The Flying Monkey!


The Hardcore Monkey sits on Vic’s chest and repeatedly slap Vic in the face. Vic manages to toss the monkey away. He manages to get to his feet, but the monkey scrambles up Vic’s leg. Vic frantically tries to grab the Hardcore Monkey, but Hardcore Monkey avoids Vic’s hands and climbs up the man’s back. He spins around Vic’s head, wraps his tail around Vic’s neck and jumps forward. Vic loses his balance and his head slams against the mat as he falls end over end.

Strachon
It’s like a little monkey hurricanrana. I love it!

Chrissy
So cute.


Vic Valentine gets to his knees and Hardcore Monkey hits him with a backhandspring kick. Vic rocks back and forth and Hardcore Monkey nails him with a monkey roundhouse kick. He then jumps on Vic Valentine’s face and puts him in a modified triangle choke!

Strachon
The Monkey’s Paw is locked in!

Dan
Are you really naming his moves?

Strachon
Hey, the Hardcore Monkey can’t talk. Someone’s gotta do it for him.


Vic quickly begins to tap out!

Chrissy
Hardcore Monkey wins!


The Hardcore Monkey jumps atop the turnbuckle and raises his arms for his fans.

Crowd
Hardcore Monkey! *Clap Clap ClapClapClap* Hardcore Monkey!

Strachon
#MatchoftheNight

Dan
Can we just move on please?

Chrissy
Oh, lighten up, Gus.

Strachon
Well that's done. Now let's get everything cleaned up and ready for the match we've waited all night for.


Soon everything is cleared and ready for...

Main Event Hell in a Cell: Kurt Noble vs. Doug E Fresh

Daniel
Ladies and Gentlemen, it’s time for the match we’ve all been waiting for. In just moments, Kurt Noble and Doug E Fresh will meet inside Hell in a Cell.

Chrissy
I hope neither of them get hurt.

Strachon
I hope they kill each other.

Chrissy
That’s mean.

Strachon
That’s ratings gold. #PGSucks.

Daniel
At any rate it’s time for our main event.

Strachon
No. No. No. You’re doing it wrong. You’ve gotta say MAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIINNNNN EEEEEEEEVVVVVVENT!

Daniel
It’s our main event.

Strachon
No. Watch how a professional does it.

Daniel
I’m plenty professional. Thank you.

Strachon
Than say it. MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNN EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVVVVVENT!

Daniel
I’m not going to debase myself to-

Strachon
Come on. Say it. MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNN EEEEEEEEEEEEEVVVVVVVVVVENT!

Chrissy
MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNN EEEEEEEEVVVVVVENT!

Strachon
There you go. MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNN EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVENT!

Daniel
Let’s go to Ralph Hartley with the announcement.

Hartley
The following contest is the Showcase Zero Main Event and a Hell in a Cell Match! Introducing first from Calgary, Alberta, Canada and weighing in at 235 pounds ... KURT NOBLE!!!!

The lights in the arena shut off, as the chorus to "Labrinth" blasts through the speakers. After a few moments, out steps Kurt Noble, eliciting a mixed reaction from the crowd. Noble begins to limp down to the ring. Upon reaching it, Noble slowly walks up the stairs to the ring. He enters the ring, and climbs up on the turnbuckle, staring down the ramp. Noble moves off it, as the lights return to normal and the music dies down.

Daniel
A man I know who was once a hero to the masses and is now darker than dark.

Chrissy
I don't know about that he's got kind eyes. Or I think so!

Strachon
Kurt Noble is a man that has held many titles in his career and had many accolades before he turned on his own best friend. A man after my own heart!

Hartley
And his opponent, from Dover Ohio and weighing in tonight at 225 pounds ... he is the current CWC World Heavyweight Champion, the True Experts Champion and the SCW Global Champion, The Professor ... DOUG E FRESH!!!

The lights slowly dim to green. As the video for Doug E. Fresh appears on the ViWTron, we hear the words...

Wash away impurities, wash away all that couldn’t be

The chorus of "The End" then kicks in right afterwards and Doug appears on the stage wearing a black robe with a hood on covering his eyes. He walks down the ramp covering himself from the jeers of the fans as he climbs the ring steps and enters through the middle rope. Doug then ascends the top turnbuckle and removes the entire robe revealing his wrestling attire and a cocky smile as he poses with arms outstretched to the boos. Doug then leaps off the turnbuckle delivering a picture perfect backflip landing on his feet in the center of the ring. Immediately he falls to his knees in a form of worship.

Daniel
He really does hold all those titles. How much gold is a man's soul worth?

Chrissy
I heard he's a god. Is that true, Sam?

Strachon
I don't know about the god business but there are few wrestlers in the business today that can measure up to Doug E Fresh.

The two men lock up in the middle of the ring, and struggle to get the upperhand with neither man seemingly able to get an advantage. Fresh instead breaks the hold and poke Kurt Noble in the eyes.

Chrissy
Foul! He’s not allowed to do that.

Strachon
There are no dqs in this one, honey. He can do whatever he wants.

Daniel
Which is part of what makes this match so dangerous.

Doug begins to laugh at Noble until Kurt comes back with a European Uppercut. Doug is caught completely off guard and falls to the mat which gives Kurt Noble the perfect opportunity to pounce on Fresh and start raining down punches. After absorbing a few blows to the head, Doug manages to catch Noble’s hands. He grabs one of Kurt’s arms, and manages to flip his opponent over and into an armbar while locking his legs around Kurt’s torso.

Strachon
Kurt’s already got a bum leg, and now Doug E Fresh might break his arm right here.

Kurt struggles and begins to hammer away ay Doug’s legs and arms. He manages to get Doug to break his hold, and he gets to his feet while holding his sore arm. Doug goes for a dropkick, but Noble knocks his feet away. Doug is quick to his feet though and turns right around and hits Kurt with a spear. Now it’s his turn to deliver the mounted punches. Blow after blow connect’s with Noble’s skull until Kurt is finally able to get his hands up and knock Doug’s hands to the side. He then quickly responds with an eye poke of his own.

Strachon
And turnabout’s fair play!

Chrissy
These guys should be wearing safety goggles or something.

Daniel
There’s nothing safe about this match.

Chrissy
Because they’re not wearing the goggles.

Doug rolls onto all fours, and Kurt quickly gets up and hits Fresh with a hard kick to the ribs that causes Fresh to collapse to the mat. Kurt goes for the Quixotic Lock (grapevine anklelock) early, but Doug manages to flip over and kick Kurt away. Kurt bounces off the ropes, and Doug catches him with a Drop-toe hold. He jumps on top of Noble and puts him in an STF, but Kurt manages to roll both he and Doug over. He throws a few elbows at Doug and escapes the hold. Both men get to their feet and lock up in the middle of the ring.

Daniel
Both men are so evenly matched.

Strachon
It’s what makes their historic feud so fun to watch.

This time Doug manages to slip behind Kurt and lock around his waist for a German Suplex, but Kurt manages to get out of the hold and get behind Doug. He goes for a reverse suplex, but Doug lands on his feet. Doug catches Kurt’s head for a neckbreaker, but Kurt turns around and hooks Doug’s head for a reverse DDT. Doug is just as quick though, and he manages to turn and knock Kurt’s hands away. Both men quickly lock up again. Kurt manages to push Doug back two steps, but Doug pushes right back until both men are dead even in the center of the ring.

Daniel
Watching these two men, these two warriors, is like watching the day battle the night or the tide battle the beach, a back and forth struggle of epic proportions.

Strachon
That’s great. Now tell me what any of those holds were.

Kurt and Doug continue to push on each other with neither man gaining an advantage. Finally, Doug throws a kick at Kurt’s leg, and Kurt buckles just enough for Doug to hit him with a snap suplex. Doug goes to put Kurt in a headlock, but Noble grabs Doug’s legs and flips him onto his back. He goes to put Doug in the Dance with the Devil (Sharpshooter), but Doug manages to power out before Kurt can get the move fully locked in, and Kurt goes flying into the ropes. Doug then quickly catches Noble with a German suplex with a pinning combination.

1…..


Kurt Noble kicks out.

Daniel
And we have our first pinfall attempt of the match.

Chrissy
Nowhere close!

Strachon
It’s too early to grab a win, but Doug knows that it takes a lot of energy to kick out of a pin like that. It’s all part of his strategy for wearing Kurt Noble down.

Daniel
Smart move, just what we’d expect from the Professor.

Chrissy
He teaches? Where? What does he teach? English? I like poetry.

Kurt Noble gets to his feet, and Doug hits him with a dropkick that sends Noble back against the ropes. Doug grabs Kurt and Irish Whips him across the ring. Kurt bounces off the ropes and comes back. Doug then catches him and goes to dump him over the ropes with a back body drop, but Kurt manages to grab the ring ropes and stays on the apron. He pulls himself up and hits Doug with a hard right hand to the back of the head. He goes to climb in, but Doug turns and hits him with a shoulder block that causes him to fall off the apron. Kurt is still on his feet, but Doug hits him with a baseball slide that sends Kurt into the cell wall.

Strachon
And the cell has been used!

Daniel
Just listen to the sound of the cold steel as it crashes against Kurt Noble’s warm flesh.

Strachon
I gotta admit. You put the color in color commentary.

Daniel
Thank you, Sam.

Strachon
Too bad you can’t call a move worth a shit.

Kurt gets up and Doug jumps over the ropes with a crossbody. The move sends Kurt back against the cell, but the wall keeps Kurt standing, with Doug Fresh still in his arms! Kurt takes a step forward while still holding Fresh. His leg nearly buckles, but he manages to hit Doug with a fall away slam into the cell wall!

Daniel
And the cell rattles with another collision.

Strachon
That was a surprising show of strength from Kurt Noble.

Chrissy
That had to hurt.

Kurt Noble picks Doug up and slams Doug’s face against the steel before tossing Doug back against the ring apron. Doug staggers forward, and Noble drives him back against the apron. Doug responds with a double axe handle to Kurt’s back before shoving Kurt into the cell wall. Doug grabs Kurt by the face and slams the back of Noble’s head before grabbing Noble by the back of the head and running him head first into the steel ring post. He goes to slam Noble’s head into the post a second time, but Noble hits him with an elbow. He quickly grabs Fresh and whips him against the steel cell wall. Doug staggers back and Kurt hits him with a dropkick that sends him right back into the steel mesh.

Strachon
These two are using that cell wall to absolutely beat the crap out of each other.

Doug falls into a seated position, and Kurt goes to pick him back up, but Doug hits Kurt with a drop toe hold that causes Kurt’s head to collide with the cell. Doug grabs at the ring apron and uses it to pull himself to his feet. Kurt stands and runs at Doug, but Doug catches him with a flapjack that causes Kurt’s skull to hit the edge of the steel ring steps. When Kurt flips over, it is apparent that a large gash has been opened up over his left eye.

Strachon
And Kurt Noble has been busted open!

Daniel
He’s a lucky man. An inch higher and those ring steps might have taken out his eye.

Strachon
One eyed, one legged, flying purple people eater.

Chrissy
That’s terrible, Sam.

Strachon
Yeah. But it’s also pretty funny.

Kurt Noble rolls around on the floor for a few moments in a daze. Doug takes advantage and picks Noble up. He delivers a hard punch to Noble’s stomach and then goes to slam his skull against the cell, but Kurt gets his hand up to stop it before hitting Doug with a hard elbow to the nose. Kurt turns around and hits Doug with a right, then a left. He kicks Kurt in the stomach before grabbing him and slamming Doug’s face into the steel. He grabs Doug’s head and begins to grate Fresh’ face against the cell wall until the steel mesh cuts a line across Doug’s forehead and blood starts to stream down his face. Kurt then throws Doug against the apron and delivers hard kick to the ribs.

Strachon
Kurt Noble has just carved Doug Fresh wide open!

Daniel
Doug E Fresh has donned the proverbial crimson mask.

Chrissy
Roses are red. Violets are blue. Kurt Noble is bleeding, and the Professor is too.

Kurt comes at Fresh again, but Doug manages to grab Kurt and drive him against the wall. Kurt hits Doug with a double axe handle, and then tosses him against the cell wall. Doug staggers forward, and Kurt goes to grab him, but Fresh reverses it and tosses Kurt against the cell. He then hits Kurt with a hard shoulder that drives him against the steel again. The cell wall rattles as Doug once again picks Kurt up and slams him against the steel.

Daniel
They certainly are hitting the cell wall rather hard.

Chrissy
I wonder how much more it can take.

Strachon
Foreshadowing!

Kurt Noble staggers forward, and Doug hits him with another shoulder that causes Kurt to collapse against the steel cell wall. Doug then takes two steps back and runs at Noble with a spear that causes the wall to give way and sends both men out of the cell.

Daniel
And the cell wall has given way. Both combatants are outside the cell.

Chrissy
Anything can happen.

Strachon
More foreshadowing!

Doug Fresh is the first one to his feet. He picks Kurt Noble up and goes to hit him with a DDT onto the steel mesh, but Kurt manages to reverse the hold and lifts Doug into a suplex that causes Fresh to slam against the arena floor. Doug grabs onto his back in pain, but he manages to crawl away and get to his feet. Kurt is right on top of him. Both men begin to exchange punches. Right. Left. Right. Left. Right. Left. Kurt sends Doug backward with a European Uppercut. He then kicks Doug in the stomach and lifts him into another suplex that sends him onto the collapsed wall. Kurt picks Doug up again, sets him up, and nails the Noble Neckbreaker onto the steel!

Daniel
Kurt Noble might have knocked Doug E Fresh out with that move.

Strachon
It’s called the Noble Neckbreaker, and it’s a rolling cutter.

Chrissy
But he still has to get Doug into the ring to win, right?

Strachon
Exactly.

Noble stands over his fallen opponent for a moment. He looks up at the ring and prepares to drag Doug toward it when five men in hooded robes come running down the entrance ramp. They begin to assault Kurt Noble from behind.

Chrissy
Holy Ninjas!

Daniel
Five hooded men are attacking, Kurt Noble!

Chrissy
Who are they?

Strachon
They’re members of Doug E Fresh’s cult, the Sinistry!

The members of the Sinistry throw Kurt Noble backward and onto knock him down to the ground where they begin to stomp away at him until James Stall comes running down the entrance ramp!

Strachon
James Stall is here! James Stall is here!

Daniel
The New Era World Heavyweight Champion has come to make the save.

Strachon
He also wrestles for SCW, Dan. And he and Doug have quite a history. He’s not going to let the Sinistry get away with this.

Chrissy
Good for him.

James knocks one of the men away. He turns another around and hits a Sergeant Spinebuster. The other Sinistry members turn their attention to Stall, and Kurt is able to roll himself over and get to his feet. He immediately joins the fray by jumping at the Sinistry members, and he catches one with the Noble Neckbreaker! Doug Fresh makes it to his feet and sees the carnage in front of him. Stall and Noble start to fight their way toward Fresh, when fifteen more hooded men make their way throught he crowd, jump the barricade and charge at Noble and Stall. Noble and Stall try to fight back, but the mob quickly begins to beat them down while Fresh watches with a large grin across his face.

Daniel
This is getting out of control!

Strachon
Kurt Noble and James Stall don’t stand a chance against all of these men.

Chrissy
It’s like really really unfair.

While Doug watches and laughs, the Sinistry members continue to beat down on Kurt Noble and James Stall. Suddenly, a certain APW Megastar comes running down the entrance ramp.

Strachon
It’s Evan Envi!

Evan runs and jumps at the mob with a crossbody, taking several of the members down. He quickly jumps to his feet and begins throwing wild punches at the crowd, but eventually the numbers game starts taking him down as well. That is until several more APW megastars make their way onto the scene! Terry Marvin and Chris Hart come running down the entrance ramp, quickly followed by Sally Talfourd, Chris Strike, and last, but not least, CJ Gates. The attack the mob, and Sinistry bodies start to go flying.

Daniel
The rest of the APW competitors have shown up!

Strachon
They might not like each other, or even Kurt Noble, but they’ll be damned if they let the Sinistry beat down one of their own!

Chrissy
Yay APW!

Crowd
A-P-DUB! A-P-DUB! A-P-DUB!

The crowd begins to break up and Noble and Stall are able to get to their feet. Several members of the Sinistry break ranks and run through the crowd right away. Other try to stand their ground, but the wrestlers quickly begin to turn them back. Sally Talfourd hits a Sinistry man with a dropkick and sends him over the barricade. She turns and nails another member with the Implant Buster. Another men tries to attack her from behind, but Sally hits him with a right and nails the Danger Zone. Meanwhile, Terry Marvin hits a Sinistry member with Russian legsweep, inverted DDT combo before jumping up, kicking another member in the stomach and hitting him with the Whiplash. CJ gates hits a Sinistry man with a clothesline, and James Stall hits another Sinistry man with the Sergeant Spinebuster.

Strachon
APW and James Stall are clearing house!

Two more Sinistry members make a run for it. Chris Strike, and Chris Hart begin to brawl with several members toward the back. James Stall clotheslines two Sinistry members from behind. Two more try to attack him, but James grabs them both by the throats, and he choke tosses them over the barricade one right after the other. The four men begin to run, and James Stall jumps the barricade to give chase through the crowd. The rest of the men are chased off by Sally, Terry, and CJ. Evan Envi looks at Doug who just stares right back at him and shakes his head in disappointment. Evan has a clear shot at Doug, but instead he turns, jumps over the barricade, and makes his way through the crowd.

Chrissy
What was that all about?

Strachon
I don’t know, but I do know we’re back down to Kurt Noble and Doug Fresh.

Kurt glares at Doug, and the smile on Doug’s face disappears. He quickly turns around and starts running and crawling up the cell wall, and Kurt runs after him. Kurt grabs at Fresh’s leg, but Doug kicks him away and keeps climbing. Kurt gives chase.

Daniel
Doug E Fresh is scaling the cell.

Chrissy
He should be careful. It’s really high up there.

Doug makes it to the top and goes to run to the other side, but Kurt catches Doug’s leg and trips him up. He then crawls onto the top of the cell. Doug turns to attack Kurt, but Kurt hits him with a spear onto the steel.

Daniel
The whole cell rattles as the two warriors clash atop it.

Kurt approaches Doug, but Fresh manages to catch him with an armdrag. Noble rolls to his feet. Doug runs at him, but Noble catches him with a hiptoss. Now it is Doug who rolls to his feet, but he is getting dangerously close to the edge of the cell. Noble grabs him to throw him off, but Douge stops him with a hard elbow. Doug tries to throw Kurt off, but Kurt manages to stand his ground. Both men tug at each other, but neither gives. Together they lean perilously over the announce tables below.

Strachon
This can only end one way.

Chrissy
I’m scared.

Daniel
May I suggest we move.

Strachon
Smartest thing you’ve said all night.

Doug hits Kurt with a right hand. Kurt nails Doug with a left. Right. Left. Right. Left. Right. Left. Right. Left. Left. Left. Doug takes a step backward. It’s all the advantage Kurt Noble needs. He drives his knee into Doug’s stomach, grabs Fresh from under his armpits and tosses him off the roof of the cell. Doug falls from twenty feet in the air and crashes through the announce table which positively explodes around him.

Strachon
By God! Doug Fresh has been broken in half.

Daniel
What a fall. I saw it with my own eyes, and I still don’t know if I believe it.

Strachon
Believe it buddy, that’s Doug E Fresh’s corpse lying in front of us.

Daniel
Kurt Noble has gotten revenge for Golden Dreams and being sent off the Dome.

Strachon
Well look at that. I guess you did your research after all.

Daniel
Like I said, Sam. I’m a professional.

Chrissy
What’s Kurt Noble doing?

Strachon
No! Kurt! No!

Kurt Noble points up at the sky and then jumps off the roof of the cell! He lands with a flying elbow drop right onto Doug Fresh!

Strachon
Dead! They are dead!

Crowd
HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!

Daniel
This crowd is deafening.

Chrissy
What foul language.

Strachon
Can you blame them? Kurt Noble just killed himself for their amusement.

Daniel
Neither man is moving. I think this match might be over.

Chrissy
Someone get an ambulance!

Strachon
Ah, these two will walk this off.





Strachon
Any moment now.




Strachon
Shit. Yeah. Get an ambulance.

The two men remain unresponsive, and a group of EMTs come down to the crushed table. As they reach the two men, Noble and Fresh finally begin to stir. Noble pushes the EMTs away and slowly pulls himself up and leans himself against the cell wall. The EMTs check on Doug, but he waves them off and manages to get to a seated position. He gets to a knee. Then two. Then one foot. Soon Doug is standing. He looks at Kurt Noble. Both men step toward each other. Kurt throws a hard right hand at Doug. Doug nails Kurt with a right of his own. Noble swings a left. Doug responds. Noble. Fresh. Noble. Fresh. Right… Left… Right…. Left. Right. Left. Right. Left.

Strachon
See. I told ya. They’re fine.

Doug shoves Noble against the cell. Noble grabs Doug and tosses him against the cell.

Daniel
It’s amazing. The hatred between these two has given them incredible endurance. Their desire to beat each other drives them to withstand immense punishment and dish it right back out.

Noble grabs the nearby stretcher. He shoves it right into Doug’s stomach. He then grabs. Doug by the head and slams it against the stretcher before tossing him against the cell. Kurt picks Doug up, but Doug rakes Kurt across the eyes. He whips Noble into the nearby barricade. Doug approaches him, but Noble runs and hits him with a spear. He circles around Doug as he gets up and then hits him with a reverse suplex onto the stretcher which proceeds to collapse.

Chrissy
]They’re gonna kill each other. I can’t watch.

Strachon
Really? Cause I can watch these two wrestler each other all day.

Daniel
Such passion, such grit and determination, it’s astounding.

Doug rolls off the stretcher, and Kurt kicks him in the back of the head. Kurt picks Noble up and whips him over by where the time keeper is. Doug crashes over a pair of chairs and pulls himself up using the barricade. Kurt stands over him and begins delivering punches to Doug’s head, but Fresh manages to grab the ringbell and uses it to smack Kurt in the head.

Chrissy
Ding!

Strachon
Doug Fresh really rang Kurt Noble’s bell there.

Daniel
Really? You’re going to use puns at a time like this?

Strachon
Gotta be true to me, homie. #KeepingItReal.

The shot from the ring bell has opened up another cut by Noble’s right temple. He staggers backward, and Doug runs at him again with the bell high above his head, but Noble manages to regain his senses, and he tackles Doug into the barricade which causes Doug to drop the bell. Doug slams his fists against Kurt and manages to push him away. He falls to all fours and begins to crawl away from Noble and toward the cell. Noble picks up one of the chairs and begins walking toward Fresh. He folds the chair up, and is preparing to use it when. BAM! A+! Doug Fresh kicks the chair right into Kurt Noble’s face!

Strachon
What a shot!

Doug collapses to the floor. Kurt collapses onto the stretcher. Doug crawls over to him. He tosses the chair out of the way and straps Kurt Noble to the stretcher. He then lifts the stretcher back up and begins to roll it toward the cell. The EMTs try to stop him, but Doug shoves them all out of the way. Kurt Noble awakens and tries to fight his way out of the restraints, but he can’t. Doug tilts the stretcher upward and proceeds to slam the helpless Kurt Noble into the steel cell wall! He does it again!

Daniel
Doug E Fresh is a sadistic man.

Chrissy
He’s mean. He’s really really mean.

Doug spits in the unconscious Kurt Noble’s face and then slams him into the wall again. He does it a fourth time, and this time the cell wall gives way and the stretcher flips end over end. The cell wall lands against the top rope and slips down with a thud. It ends up wedged on the ring apron like a ramp. Doug rights the stretcher and shoves it toward the EMTS as he shouts at them.

Doug
Get him out of here!

The EMTs check on Noble, and Doug shoves the stretcher at them again.

Doug
GET HIM THE HELL OUT OF HERE!

The EMTs begin to wheel Kurt Noble away, and Doug begins to scale the cell to celebrate his victory.

Daniel
Doug E Fresh wanted nothing less than to destroy Kurt Noble.

Strachon
And I think he might have just succeeded.

Chrissy
Poor Kurt.

Doug makes to the top of the cell and raises his arms in victory. He shouts at the crowd.

Doug
I AM YOUR GOD!

They shower him in boos.

Strachon
Well I guess that’s it.

Daniel
And what a night it’s been.

Strachon
We’ve witnessed some truly incredible action.

Chrissy
Goodnight everybody!


As the EMTs get to the top of the entrance ramp and prepare to wheel Kurt Noble backstage, Kurt grabs one by the hand. The stretcher shakes as Kurt Noble struggles to free himself from his restraints. The restraints, damaged by the cell, break free, and Kurt Noble rolls off the stretcher.

Strachon
No. Fucking. Way.

The EMTs gather around, but he pushes them away and gets to his feet. He takes a step forward and immediately falls to one knee, but he digs down deep, gets back to his feet, and begins to hobble down to the cell.

Daniel
I once again can’t believe my own eyes. Kurt Noble is coming back to this match.

Strachon
Kurt Noble is Superman… or at least Batman.

Doug looks down at Kurt Noble, first in shock and utter disbelief, but then a grin stretches across his face and he begins to egg Kurt on, eager to end this once and for all. Kurt grabs the cell and begins to climb. His leg initially buckles and he falls off, but he takes a moment to catch his breath and then sojourns on. The pain is evident on his blood soaked face, but still he climbs. Doug wipes blood from his eyes and shouts down at Kurt to climb faster.

Chrissy
Don’t do this, Kurt. Please. I can’t watch you get hurt anymore!

Kurt’s hand reaches the top of the cell, and Doug goes to kick away at him and send him crashing to the floor, but Kurt manages to catch Doug’s foot and trip him up. He slides onto the top of the cell and rolls onto his side. Doug gets up and goes to kick Kurt, but Kurt rolls over and then rolls over again toward the center of the cell. Kurt swings his leg and takes Doug’s feet out from under him causing Doug to collapse to the steel.

Daniel
The passion in their eyes, the grit, the determination, the skill, EVERYTHING! Sam, I finally get it! I finally understand why you love this sport so much.

Strachon
That’s great, Dan. But don’t sugar coat it. We’re about to watch two men commit sanctioned murder suicide.

Kurt crawls over to Doug and grabs him with a headlock. He begins to pound away at Doug’s skull with his fist. Doug manages to get to his knees. Then he somehow finds the strength to lift Kurt up and slam him onto the steel. He immediately collapses to all fours and begins to crawl toward the center panels. Kurt rocks himself to a seated position and then rolls to all fours.

Strachon
I have to wonder just how much gas is left in either of their tanks.

Both men climb to their feet, and Kurt hits Doug from behind with a bulldog onto the center panel. He follows up with a steel shaking leg drop. He crawls over to Doug’s legs. He reaches out and grabs Doug’s ankle. Which he begins to twist. He wraps his legs around Doug’s leg and locks in the Quixotic Lock. Doug begins to scream.

Daniel
Kurt Noble can’t score a submission on top of the cell.

Strachon
This isn’t about making Doug Fresh submit. This is about making him suffer.

Chrissy
Poor Doug.

Doug grits his teeth and pounds his fists against the steel, but there is nothing he can do. He doesn’t have the strength to break the lock. Luckily Noble decides to break his hold before breaking Fresh’s ankle. However, he then grabs Doug by the back of the head and repeatedly slam’s Doug’s head into the steel panel, drawing even more blood. He lifts Doug up and balance’s Doug’s limp body on his shoulder for a moment while he breathes. He then hooks Doug’s head and nails the Noble Neckbreaker! The panel gives way! And both men go falling to the ring below!

Chrissy
Oh no!

Daniel
Ladies and Gentlemen, it will be a miracle if Doug E Fresh doesn’t have a broken neck after landing like that!

Strachon
What a match!

Kurt and Doug both lay on the mat, unresponsive.

Daniel
The EMTs need to get back in there.

Strachon
Well, three cell panels have broken, so they shouldn’t have any trouble getting in.

Kurt slowly begins to stir. He rolls over onto his stomach. It’s clear Kurt is disoriented because he begins to crawl in the wrong direction before instincts kicks back in, and he drags himself over to Doug’s motionless body. He digs his fingernails into the ring mat as he slowly pulls himself over to his opponent. He pushes on Doug’s shoulder and manages to flip Doug onto his back before draping himself over Doug for the pin.


1….





2….




3!

NO! Doug Fresh kicks out!

Chrissy
Unbelievable!

Daniel
How did he do that, Sam? How did he do that?

Strachon
I’ve learned not to question these things, Dan. Sometimes these guys just become so obsessed, so possessed by the need to defeat their opponent, that it pushes them past the limits of what we think physically possible. It’s what makes them so great. It’s what makes them so dangerous.

Kurt sits on his ankles with his bleeding head held in his hands in disbelief. Doug, flips over and grabs the bottom rope. He begins to pull himself up, and Kurt forces himself to lunge forward and hits Doug with a double axe handle, but he collapses to the mat afterward. Doug grabs the rope again and once again starts to climb to his feet. Kurt staggers to his feet. He hits Doug with a right hand. Doug hits Kurt with a right of his own. Both men collapses to their knees. They exchange punches again and again. Doug lunges forward and hits Kurt with a clothesline from his knees. He crawls across the ring to the opposite ropes as Kurt Noble rocks back up into a seated position.

Daniel
What will it take to put one of these warriors away?

Strachon
I think we’re going to find out real soon.

Both men get to their feet. They stagger toward each other, an A+! Kurt Noble hits the mat like a sack of bricks.

Strachon
It’s over!

Doug looks down at Kurt Noble’s fallen form. He looks over toward the broken announce table and then back to Kurt.

Strachon
Pin him, Doug! Pin him!

Daniel
For the love of God end this madness!

Doug steps away from Kurt. He collapses, but he continues to crawl. He pulls himself under the ring ropes and rolls down the steel panel which has been wedged like a ramp.

Chrissy
What’s going on?

Doug staggers over the remains of the announcer table. He walks over to the trashed timekeeper station and picks up both the CWC and True Expert Championships. He makes his way back toward the ring and stumbles by the collapsed wall. With both titles on his back, Doug claws his way up the steel and back into the ring. He slides over to Kurt Noble, and slides the True Expert Championship under Kurt Noble’s head.

Strachon
He’s setting up for the Gold Rush!

Daniel
Please, Doug! Not this! Not this!

Chrissy
He’s going to kill Kurt Noble!

Doug climbs to his feet and raises the CWC World Heavyweight Championship high above his head.

Doug
GOD!

Doug drops to his knees to slam the title against Kurt’s head, but Kurt manages to roll out of the way. Gold strikes gold and the CWC World Heavyweight Championship falls out of Doug’s hands as a sting runs through his arm. Kurt is quick to nail Doug with a knee to the face.

Strachon
Kurt Noble has just turned the tables on Doug Fresh!

Kurt picks Doug up and nails him with the Noble Neckbreaker! Right onto the True Expert Championship! He collapses on top of Doug.


1….





2……




3!

Strachon
He’s done it! Kurt Noble wins!

Daniel
And it appears Doug E Fresh has been rendered unconscious. What sweet irony it is that the Professor has been leveled by his own evil machinations.

Chrissy
Yay Kurt Noble!

Hartley
Ladies and Gentlemen, here’s you’re winner, Kurt Noble!

Daniel
What an outstanding contest between both men. It’s one that will surely be talked about for a long time to come.

Strachon
It better be.

Kurt lays motionless on top of Doug E Fresh for a few moments before slowly rolling himself off of his fallen opponent and crawling to his feet. He raises both arms and then collapses again, but he manages to grab onto the bottom ring rope and hang down there.

Daniel
It’s been some night.

Strachon
We started with a huge upset victory by MTB over New Era World Heavyweight Champion, James Stall.

Daniel
We saw some incredible Showcase matches from some of the best companies in wrestling.

Strachon
Tombstone's streak ended. Carnival Connection successfully defended their tag team titles.

Daniel
Switchblade won sixty thousand dollars for himself and bragging rights for Warped.

Chrissy
We had the Queen of Sin match and the awesome Match Made in Twitter.

Strachon
I kicked Tim Tebow's ass.

Chrissy
We saw a monkey fight.

Daniel
Regrettably.


Chrissy
And now this.

“For that mean, oh mean, mean green.”

“For the Love of Money” by the O’Jays begins to play and Lawrence Jacobson comes out with microphone in hand. He is slowly clapping.

Daniel
It’s Visionary Wrestling co-owner, Lawrence Jacobson.

Strachon
Wow, Chrissy. You have really good timing.

Chrissy
I swear. I didn’t know he was coming out here.

Doug sits up and stares at Lawrence who has a smile on his face.

Lawrence
Congratulations to both of you, really. You’ve ensured that Showcase Zero will be remembered forever. I hope you don’t mind if I put my own stamp on things. I don’t want to steal your moment, Kurt, but I think you’ll appreciate this.

Lawrence turns himself toward the audience.

Lawrence
While Showcase Zero has been fantastic, I am not content to rest on my laurels. Therefore, I am proud to announce our next, yet to be named, show, one that I guarantee will top the incredible show you’ve seen tonight. How do I know this? It’s because we will be crowning our first champions!

The audience begins to applaud.

Strachon
Yes! You can never hype a show too much or too early! #GetExcited.

Lawrence
But of course, at Visionary Wrestling Incorporated, we strive to be different, to be better. While our competitors disregard certain aspects of this business, we embrace them. What our rivals have as their weakest point, we will make our strongest aspect. You’ve already seen several examples of it here tonight, and that is why at our next show I am proud to announce that we will crown the first ever VW World Tag Team Champions!

The applause from the crowd grows louder.

Lawrence
But I can hear your question now. How will we crown these champions? The answer is simple. We’re going to hold a one night tournament. Who will compete in it? Anyone and everyone. If you have a tag team, bring them to us. Want to sign up as an individual? We’ll find you a partner. And some matchups will be made by myself.

Lawrence looks down and nods.

Lawrence
See. I’ve learnt something in during my years in the business world. Sometimes to achieve your greatest success you have to work with people that you don’t like. That’s why I’m happy to introduce you to the first team that will be competing in our tag team tournament.

Lawrence looks up.

Lawrence
Kurt Noble.

Kurt begins to shakes his head in disbelief as he realizes what is about to happen.

Lawrence
AND DOUG E FRESH!

The roof practically explodes off of Madison Square Garden as the crowd jumps to their feet and explodes in cheers and applause.

Strachon
WHAT?!? WHAT!?!?

Daniel
I know, Sam! I’m shocked too.

Strachon
No. I had something in my ear, and now this crowd’s really loud. What did I miss?

Daniel
Kurt Noble and Doug E Fresh are going to compete together for the VW World Tag Team Championships.

Strachon
HOLY SHIT!

Chrissy
That’s crazy.

Lawrence
You can tell your new partner the good news when he wakes up.

Kurt looks over at Doug E Fresh.

“Brother can you spare a dime!”

The music picks back up and Lawrence Jacobson makes his way backstage. Kurt Noble continues to shake his head and mouth “No” over and over again as the EMTs check on Doug E Fresh.

Daniel
What an announcement! What a night!

Strachon
God, I love this company!

Chrissy
Can I say it now?

Daniel
Yes, Chrissy. Yes you can.

Chrissy
Goodnight everybody!
