NOVEMBER 26, 2025
JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA

FNB STADIUM

 

 

Camera fades in. Veronica stands angled slightly toward Shawn, microphone labeled MAWL. Shawn stands close —

 

 Veronica Vale:

 “Ladies and gentlemen, I’m here with the reigning Crimson Rite Champion… Shawn Harris. At Thankless, you defend your title against the unpredictable Chorker.”

 

[She turns toward him, holding the mic up. There’s a brief pause — he doesn’t answer immediately. Instead, Shawn slowly looks from the title… to her.]

 

Shawn Harris (calm, measured): “You always ask the right questions, Veronica.” 

 

[A faint smirk. He adjusts the championship on his shoulder, the plate catching the red light.]

 

Shawn: “Chorker thinks unpredictability gives him an advantage. He thinks because he moves without a pattern… I can’t prepare.”

 

 [He steps half a step closer. Not aggressive. Intentional.]

 

Shawn: “But here’s the truth.” 

 

[His voice lowers.]

 

Shawn: “I don’t prepare for men like Chorker. I dismantle them.” 

 

Veronica (steady, but softer now):

 “He says you’ve never faced someone willing to go as far as he will.”

 

 [Shawn tilts his head slightly, studying her.]

 

Shawn:  “Go as far as he will?”

 

 [He leans closer — not enough to touch, but enough to make the space feel charged.]

 

Shawn: “Veronica… I became Crimson Rite Champion because I *already went further than anyone else was willing to go.*” 

 

[He gently takes the microphone — not snatching it, just easing it from her hand, his fingers brushing hers briefly.]

 

Shawn: “At Thankless… Chorker steps into my ring thinking chaos is a weapon.”

 

[His eyes narrow. The flirtation fades into steel.]

 

Shawn: “But chaos without control? That’s just desperation.” 

 

Veronica (after a small breath): “So how does this end?” 

 

[Shawn looks at her — longer this time. A subtle grin forms.]

 

Shawn: “It ends the same way it always does.” 

 

[He lifts the Crimson Rite Championship slightly between them.]

 

Shawn: “With this title still on my shoulder… and another man realizing he wasn’t built for this level.”

 

 [He hands the microphone back, his hand lingering just a second too long.]

 

Shawn: “And Veronica…” 

 

[He leans in slightly — voice lower, almost private.]

 

Shawn: “You might want to watch closely at Thankless.” 

 

[A faint smirk.]

 

Shawn: “Because moments like that? They’re unforgettable.” 

 

[He steps past her, brushing her shoulder lightly as he walks into the shadows. Veronica watches him leave, regaining her composure before turning back to the camera.] 

 

Veronica Vale:

 “At Thankless… Shawn Harris defends the Crimson Rite Championship against Chorker. And if tonight is any indication… this won’t just be a match.” 

 

[Fade to black.]

 

 

Red Leather "Unstoppable" plays through the speaker as a Titantron video of the stars hitting their finishers right into the camera plays and fireworks go off. The crowd loses their damn mind.

 

Simon (OC): The 2010 World Cup was situated right here in the beating heart of Johannesburg, South Africa, in an intense game taken into overtime for a 1-0 Final. There have been controversies, there have been concerts, the FNB has seen it all, and now we etch our name into this clay pot for giants, in the annals of the history in a hopefully less problematic controversial fashion as we take you away from your own Thanksgiving holiday brawls to bask in the glow of the Clash in the Calabash, the first-ever international edition of THANKLESS. I'm Simon Apple. 

 

 

Simon: We thank you immensely for choosing to spend your holiday with us as we call the action here. I'm joined of course by Kendra Mavis. 

 

 

Kendra: What's up South Africa!!! 

 

The crowd cheers.

 

Kendra: And, let's be clear, we're not without our own controversies. You'll notice that joining us in seat 3 today is Jackson Creed, the former lead voice of Frequency and current Director of Commentary.

 

 

Jackson: That's right Kendra, as was reported a few weeks back Arvin Wallace-Jones has been suspended for gambling on matches and further action is pending as to whether we will have him return or not.

 

Kendra: I hear though that he is here in Joburg, not in the stadium but in a hotel watching on Pay-Per-View...and we're getting a live feed now.

 

 

Arvin: That's right Johannesburg, I'm sorry I can't be there, Herr Direktor is seeing fit to it that I am unduly punished-

 

Jackson: You bet AGAINST yourself in a match that you knew you wouldn't win.

 

Arvin: Be that as it may, although this is the most you'll hear from me today, rest assured I am watching the main action closely and will be live-Xing at @ArvAction.

 

Simon: The "main" action?

 

Arvin: Well yeah, I mean like everyone else not there I'll probably use the Leftovers matches to load up on good eatin', but when we get past that section we-

 

The door opens behind him, and through an increasingly choppy feed we see-

 

 

Gozu Purgatory Plunges Arvin through the hotel bed! The feed cuts.

 

Jackson: I take it that Gozu didn't appreciate being called part of a "Leftovers" Match.

 

Simon: Luckily that hotel room is fairly close to the stadium so he'll be back in time. But first - 

 

The lights drop.

 

Total silence in the arena and a video starts playing on the Titantron: • You can hear urban beats on the background and see images from the Bolivian’s streets.

 

In the middle of the mix you can see people from the hoods testifying:

 

• “He was my friend! Is the best”

• “We saw him training since he was a little boy”

• “He will accomplish whatever he wants!”

• “No one works harder than him!”

• “Nobody can stop him!”

• “He will make us proud!”

 

Then the camera gets into a small but cozy house and you can see a big and friendly family. They talk to the camera:

 

• “You can do it!”

• “We are supporting you from home!”

• “Go get them! Ve por ellos!”

• “Chase your dreams!”

• “We believe in you!”

• “Never forget where you’re from!”

 

One last shout out… all family together:

• “GO MAKE US PROUD! DO IT FOR BOLIVIA!”

 

The video finish and all the lights go off, on moment of silence and the the music starts,

 

 

The phrase "Comprende al Control" is said and after the next beat, the pyro explodes, his name glows in the titantron, the lights go on and Malcri comes out onto the stage raising his arms and encouraging the audience, then goes for the ramp shouting and waving his flag with a lot of attitude...

 

 

Everyone is vibing with the Music, Malcri is in the middle off the ring and grabs the Mic:

 

Malcri: “What’s up MAAAAAWL!... I’m Malcri from Bolivia!... I dreamed with this moment since I was a kid and I worked very hard to make it happen! So I wanna thank everyone for this opportunity and warn everyone on the locker room that I won’t stop till win everything!

 

Malcri takes a pause, look at all the chanting crowd very touched, then approaches very close to the camera and says:

 

Malcri: “Look mamá! I’m on TV!!... hermanos I won’t let you down!!”

 

Finally Malcri takes a big breath and gets ready to business

 

Malcri: I’m here to fight and show you how we do it in my country… so no more words and bring it on! que empiecen los pinches chingadazos!

 

Kendra: We're getting started with some new blood. The crowd's into it, and I'm into it. The only question now is, who is he going to fight?

 

 

Lesnar stomps onto the apron.

 

 

Simon: Well crap. 

 

Kendra: To the friends and family of Malcri-

 

 

Ash: The following contest is scheduled for One Fall!

 

Crowd: ONE FALL!

 

Ash: From Bolivia, weighing 200 pounds, the Bolivian Proud, MALCRI!! And from Minneapolis, Minnesota, weighing 286 pounds, the Wrecking Ball, LESNAR!!!

 

The bell rings!

 

Jackson: Lesnar is a dangerous combination of precision and power, and he wraps himself around Malcri's waist for an early pull on a German! A second German! He's going to end this quickly by taking Mal to Suplex NO Mal gets out of the way for number 3, and begins unloading punches to the side of Lesnar's skull! A series of rights and Lesnar finally starts getting wind of this, Malcri socks him with the left!

 

Kendra: Lesnar looking more annoyed than anything else, cuts Malcri's momentum with a back elbow to the chest cavity and Irish Whip. Malcri coming around and Lesnar gets him up for the Spinebuster NO Malcri punches his way down again, lands on his feet but springs back up to get a roundhouse to the face of Lesnar! Malcri taking his own run now, springboard and a back elbow!

 

Simon: That 86 pound difference doesn't seem to faze Mal, but maybe it should, he goes for another springboard elbow but Lesnar catches him and brutalizes him with a backbreaker! Going for a quick pin-

 

 

Danny: ONE! T-

 

Jackson: Malcri with the shoulder up, Lesnar tries to respond with a punch to the face but Malcri blocks and headbutt to Lesnar! Lesnar is a little shocked but manages to stand his ground, Malcri hits him with another!

 

Kendra: You're just pissing the big man off dude. I'm rootin for ya but this is not the way and OH Lesnar just back body drops him into the mat. There may be a divot where he landed!

 

Simon: Lesnar goes to scrape him up but he's nowhere to be found in the mat!

 

Kendra: Look up! Top rope and a beautiful dropkick succeeds in getting Lesnar's body to move a little. Malcri off the ropes and that running knee smash! Lesnar is stumbling a bit, can Malcri capitalize, there's the running DDT!!

 

Danny: ONE!

 

Jackson: Lesnar shoulders up with a quickness that startles Mal, he's going to need to do a bit more than this to keep Lesnar down. Lesnar lifts Mal with him and charges him into the turnbuckle post! Just UNLOADING with those lefts and rights! Mal trying to block and dodge but eats almost everything and BLASTED into the diagonal turnbuckle! Lesnar coming for a football tackle MAL JUMPS IT! SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMB!

 

Danny: ONE! T-

 

Simon: Lesnar up again and he spins Malcri around, Full Nelson locked in! Putting a ton of pressure on that sweet spot between the shoulderblades and I don't know Malcri's strength or resiliency but it's certainly being tested here and now! 

 

Kendra: My dude's got heart and fight for days, and he's trying to run himself to a turnbuckle, Lesnar snaps him into a 90 degree spin! That plan's not gonna work. Going for a rope, Lesnar nopes him again. Come on man!

 

Jackson: Malcri looking for a different strategy, you can see him mustering every bit of strength left in him, this is a hell of a first match. 

 

Simon: Yeah, you wanna call this "leftovers", Arvin? How dare you.

 

Kendra: Malcri's gonna hurt in the morning but he's lifting Lesnar OVER HIS BACK! HE FLIPS LESNAR OFF!! LESNAR IS GOBSMACKED AND SO IS THIS AUDIENCE!!! Malcri breathing through it, that obviously took a lot out of him, but this crowd is egging him on! The stomping in the audience is picking up volume AND velocity! Malcri may have one more big move in him, he has to make it count!

 

Jackson: He's feeling it. He's picking it up. He's... taking too long! Lesnar with a SPEAR! And up onto the shoulders, this is going to be the end of the road if Malcri can't do anything M-DDT!!!! Malcri able to get the hands around Lesnar's neck and save himself!!!! THE STOMPING IS PICKING BACK UP!!!

 

Kendra: WHOOOOA LOOK AT THAT POWERBOMB!!! MALCRIBOMB!!!!!

 

Danny: ONE! TWO! THREE!

 

Malcri wins by Pinfall!

 

 

Ash: Here is your winner... THE BOLIVIAN PROUD... MALLLLLCRI!

 

Simon: WHAT A DEBUT BY THAT YOUNG MAN! HE RODE THAT WRECKING BALL LIKE HE WAS MILEY DAMN CYRUS AND CAME OUT WITH THE W!! WHAT A START TO THIS SHOW!!

 

Malcri catches his breath for a moment, then heads to the top rope to hype the crowd!

 

Jackson: This is one that you're gonna wanna watch over and over. Malcri in his debut performance for MAWL just absolutely earned this win. 

 

 

[Scene Opens: A cold, foreboding stone building. The air is thick with incense and mystery. Torch-lit bookcases line the walls, their shelves crowded with jars of unknown origin—some appear to hold bones, others contain substances that defy identification. Shadows dance across the room, playing tricks on the mind.]

 

 [In the background, a hunched, four-foot figure moves methodically, shifting crates filled with who-knows-what. His presence is unsettling, yet oddly routine—like part of the Sanctum itself. Wait—was that a corpse sitting back there? No, no… surely just a trick of the flickering light.]

 

 

Aja folds her hands, voice smooth and deliberate.

 

Aja Lioness: “Sister of shadow… welcome to my Sanctum. Tonight, the spirits sit quietly, eager to listen. Your name is whispered across every corridor, Bloodswan. A storm is coming for you in the ring—and it wears the face of Jassy.”

 

 

Aja gestures to the empty chair opposite her. Bloodswan sits gracefully.

 

Aja Lioness: “Before the bell tolls, tell me—how does the moon speak to you tonight?”

 

 

Bloodswan: "Sister of Shadow, Aja. First I must thank you for having me. It feels as welcoming as a witches sanctum should to a witch such as I, but filled with as much pride and power as a lion's den would... But I must be truly honest with you also. You share a house with someone I once called sister, and no longer aligns her values with mine. I'm cautionary, but have faith that when we use the word sister, that we will remain professional, and not be as unsavory as my former friend Jasmine, sorry 'Jassy' is."

 

"In saying that, my answer to your question is that the moon speaks to me of bitterness. Jassy would want me to remember the good times we share, but I will remain vengeful. The moon shows promise, if I remain fast to these harsh feelings, and to not let Jassy get into my head. In other words, show no mercy, and break every bone in her body

 

Aja smiles and nods slowly.

 

AJa: Speaking of Jazzy, she has made it quite clear that the two of you co-existing here in the MAWL is something she can not tolerate. For my dear viewers, what do you feel led to such animosity between the two of you? 

 

Bloodswan: Im sorry sister can I correct you there. Jassy may say things full of conviction, and clarity, and have it look like truth. But we all know, deep down she lies, and it hurts her more than anything that I did not follow in her footsteps and leave 'Psycho Supremacy' with her. A bond between us was severed, and it's no fault but her own. And look Aja, I do not not wallow in animosity, I simple must do, and right now, that is to leave MAWL, and follow my own path. If Jassy does not like this, and wants to continue her mind games, and say 'dont go' one minute, and then turn around and say 'I can't stand you, get away from me', the next, then that is silly, and I feel sorry for her.

 

Aja: “That’s quite a revelation, Bloodswan. You talk about bonds breaking, and paths diverging , but there’s still emotion in your words, whether you admit it or not. So I have to ask… when you look at Jassy now, not as a rival, but as the sister you once stood beside. Do you see someone you want to fight, or someone you still want to save?”

 

Aja shifts uncomfortably in her chair looking about the sanctum. 

 

Aja: You speak of leaving the MAWL. What does the future hold for you and is wrestling still a career you wish to pursue?

 

Bloodswan: "Okay, first I answer what the future holds, and do I still want to wrestle. Of course, wrestling is in my blood now, and I will forever be indebted to the squared circle. It has taught me so much. Has given me confidence, and power, and passion. I plan to travel to Night Wolf Wrestling, and wrestle there. Actually I must join the Circus Vexira that is part of the federation there. Last time I was at Night Wolf Wrestling, there was no Circus Vexira, but the old woman I met is now a part of the circus. Betty is the name of the woman, and she intrigue me when I met her. Also scared me, because of her mystic power. But now I understand more about myself, and it is time to meet her again, and ask her help. Now the other question, do I see Jassy as someone I want to fight, or someone I still want to save? How can I save? Sorry if a challenge is put forth to me, I will not back down. If Jassy wants to set some terms, and ask to fight, then we fight, okay. Sorry if I say that wrong but that is how it must be. So yes, to Jassy, if you are hearing this, I accept your challenge to fight one more time. I have not chosen stipulation yet, but believe me, there is no one going to save you from me beating you!"

 

The calm witch vanishes, replaced by the woman who built empires with her words — Aja’s presence turns corporate, cold, and commanding.

 

Aja:“Let me be very clear, Bloodswan, from where I stand, this doesn’t look like evolution. It looks like abandonment. You’ve spent years cultivating a brand built on mystique, fear, and identity and now, you’re walking away from the very empire you built? That’s not reinvention… that’s liquidation. You don’t just dissolve a legacy like this without consequence…

 

Just as Bloodswan is about to respond, a gloved hand is suddenly snapped over Bloodswan's mouth from behind, and a familiar voice is heard whispering into Bloodswan's ear.

 

 

 Jassy: "Ooh Claudie, I love how brave and naive you are. So eager to fight, but so much to learn". 

 

Jassy licks the side of Bloodswan's face, but Bloodswan quickly pulls Jassy's hand off her mouth and jumps from the chair she was sitting in and turns to face Jassy. 

 

Jassy: "So brave to show up in the den of the Lioness, an associate of mine. Did you not stop to think that this might have been a trap babe?"

 

 Bloodswan sways as if she is feeling dizzy. She goes to push Jassy, but for depth perception is off, and the push feels weak.

 

 Jassy: "Aw hun, what's wrong? Feeling a little light-headed hehe."

 

 Bloodswan realizes something is wrong, and has to fight her way out of the situation. She tries to take a swing at Jassy, but her wide hay maker is easily dodged, and Bloodswan loses her balanced and falls face first into the concrete floor. Her forehead cuts open, and blood runs into her eyes, and down her face. 

 

Jassy: "Look, I know I said you can choose the stipulation, but how about we have a good old no DQ match. Anything goes, you can bring your loser pals if you want. You can even try your fave mentor in all the world Nero the Zero to come help you if you want. But I have a feeling he won't show up like always. So you bring your friends, and i'll bring mine, and we can all rendezvous, and have a catch up one last time."

 

 Jassy grabs Bloodswan by the jaw and shakes her head like a no. Bloodswan starts to fade out of consciousness.

 

 Jassy: "Aw, why not hun? Okay, well I'll let you rest and think about it. Oh, and one more thing."

 

Jassy stands up, and gets Bianca to drag Bloodswan back to her feet. Jassy then wraps a metal chain around her fist. She then lines up her chain wrapped fist with Bloodswan's face.

 

Jassy: "You look so pretty when you bleed".

 

Jassy swings her chain wrapped fist as hard as she can, right into the side of Bloodswan's face. Then again, and again. She then wraps the chain around Bloodswan's eyes, and pulls the chain as hard as she can, and lets the rigid chain links run across Bloodswan's face. 

 

After Jassy is done, she removes her bloodied glove and throws it on Bloodswan's unconscious body, and turns to leave with Bianca. She picks up her pomeranian dog from the chair Bloodswan was sitting in, and gives a big smile in Aja's direction. Her and Bianca both leave the room.

 

After the two attackers slip out, Aja rises from her couch with unhurried grace and steps toward the crumpled form of Bloodswan.

 

Aja: “Loser. Bring the peppermint oil.”

 

The stout, bearded four‑foot man shuffles in, clutching a small bowl filled with a sharp‑scented liquid. He offers it up with both hands. Aja dips her fingers into the mixture and gently rubs the oil beneath Bloodswan’s nose.

 

Bloodswan’s eyes flicker open.

 

Aja: “Good. Awake. Listen carefully.”

 

Her voice is calm, almost bored.

 

“Loser will take you to medical. But before you go, understand this wasn’t personal. This was business. You stained our brand, and we couldn’t allow you to walk out of MAWL without settling that receipt.”

 

She straightens, already done with him, and gives a small gesture toward her assistant.

 

Aja: “Take her.”

 

Loser lifts Bloodswan under the arms and begins dragging her toward the exit as Aja turns away, already moving on to her next concern.

 

 

The announcers are about to say something about what just occurred when the lights flicker red, white, and blue. The audience boos, knowing what's to come. 

 

 

MAMA (US Rae, Youngblood Patrick Riot, Xander Marks, and Senator Sherwood) step out to the stage doing their best Hogan impressions, to increasingly loud boos. They begin their walk down the ramp and the boos just get even worse, with detritus being tossed at them as they enter the ring.

 

 

US Rae: Cut the music. Cut the damn music. You think we're happy to be here in your shithole country on the day we should be celebrating the beginnings of our great nation at home, watching REAL Football and eating actual food?

 

The crowd boos intensify.

 

Xander Marks: We shoulda opened this damn show at the very least, if they weren't gonna honor our damn holiday by being where it belongs.

 

Senator Sherwood: And this has been our problem all along. The damn globalism that our once beloved federation has fallen into. 

 

Youngblood Patrick Riot: And that's exactly why this federation needs us. Why it needs brave souls fighting for a More American Maniacal Action. Because you all don't know what's so damn important about today, and apparently neither do the higher ups. Lucky for you, I was a history teacher. So let me break it down for you. You see-

 

 

NOW the crowd pops as Cheyenne steps onto the stage.

 

 

Cheyenne: Now I gotta ask... you gonna tell these people the truth about today, how you took my peoples' land and how you took their peoples' ancestors? Or are you gonna feed them some trumped-up bullshit American Exceptionalism?

 

US Rae: How dare you take my lord's name in vain.

 

Cheyenne: Go on. Tell them the real history.

 

Senator Sherwood: Our history IS the real-

 

 

Eric Verne: I don't think they know their own history. That or they're willfully ignorant.

 

Xander Marks: Big talk from someone who claims to be American and comes out to a British rapper.

 

Eric Verne: I think you need a bit of a social studies lesson on what America can be. Luckily we have some pretty smart friends about to join us-

 

 

The crowd goes nuts!

 

 

Simon: Pep Riley is here!! Indie sensation Pep Riley has signed with MAWL!

 

 

Kendra: Well, it looks like Randi Rah-Rah may finally find a like-minded individual. As much as you can incorporate "Mind" into their whole thing.

 

 

Jackson: It looks like a Civil War may well be brewing right here in this ring!

 

 

Ash: The following contest is a Survivor Series Elimination tag match! In this corner, Senator Sherwood, US Rae, Xander Marks, and Youngblood Patrick Riot! MAMA!

 

The audience boos.

 

Ash: And in this corner! Cheyenne, All Star Eric Verne, Pep Riley, and Screech! American All-Stars! 

 

The crowd cheers and the bell rings!

 

Simon: Rae and Cheyenne to start. US Rae with the Irish Whip, Cheyenne sent across the ring, Rae goes for a Spinning Backhand OH and Cheyenne ducks, back around the way and rocks Rae with a lariat! Rae looks to fight back with a stiff punch, Cheyenne blocks and arm wringer flip! Cheyenne is just reading everything Rae is trying to do!

 

Kendra: Cheyenne trying to switch to offense, spin kick and Rae grabs her leg, sweeps the other. Cheyenne rolls back, tag in to Screech. Screech with a quick jab on Rae and pulls her up into a Brutal Samoan Drop! Going for the cover, US REVERSES-

 

 

Erica: ONE! TWO! THREE!

 

Screech is eliminated by US Rae!

 

Jackson: Insane reversal by US and I think everyone was shocked there!

 

Pep Riley enters the match.

 

Simon: Pep sends US Rae with the Irish Whip into the corner, tag to Eric Verne, and a double suplex to Rae! Verne keeps momentum up with a fist drop, Rae gets his head and eye poke.

 

Kendra: Verne rolls to his feet, quick tag back to Pep, Pep slaps Rae. Pep tags Cheyenne in, Cheyenne also slaps Rae. Rae responds with a rake to Cheyenne's eyes, tag in to Sherwood and Sherwood's long leg snaps into Cheyenne's ribcage. Sherwood yanks Cheyenne by the hair, Chey reaches for the tag and Verne responds, leapfrogs Chey for a rollicking dropkick to Sherwood! Verne takes a run and elbow drop NO SHERWOOD POSSUM PINS!

 

Erica: ONE! TWO! THREE!

 

All Star Eric Verne is eliminated by Senator Sherwood!

 

Pep Riley enters the match.

 

Kendra: Sherwood tags Riot in, and Riot squares up with Pep. This match has quickly gone very south for All-Stars, and Riot's scoop slam to Pep isn't making this any easier. It...it looks like Sherwood and Rae have Erica's ear and they're trying to talk game plan with her, and Erica nods.

 

Simon: I don't like the look of this AT ALL.

 

Jackson: There have been problems with Erica in the past with bribery and unfair practices and frankly I'm surprised she's been allowed back in stripes. 

 

Simon: I don't know what they're planning but they're pointing in Chey's direction, and Sherwood and Rae are approaching Chey! This could be a beatdown... oh, looks like they're... talking? That's even worse...and that's a wad of cash!

 

Kendra: Cheyenne back to the apron, reaching out for a tag... Sherwood nods to Riot and RIOT TAGS CHEYENNE!! CHEYENNE GETS PEP UP ON HER SHOULDERS, WITH A JUMP SHE CRUMBLES PEP RILEY OVER HER SHOULDER BLADES!!! A WYOMING BREAKER AND SHE GOES FOR THE PIN?!

 

Erica: ONETWOTHREE!

 

Kendra: She's declaring this a victory for MAMA!!!

 

Pep Riley is eliminated by Cheyenne!

 

 

Ash: Here...are your winners.... MAMA.

 

Cheyenne: Let this be an important lesson to you all. When planning your curriculum... History is fine, but it's the past. Economics are the future, and me, I'm looking to the future, and that future is a More American MAWL. 

 

Simon: What a travesty.

 

Kendra: She saw the writing on the wall, and made money moves. She can't be hated for that.

 

Simon: Sure she can.

 

Jackson: And so, we move on.

 

 

Ash: The following contest is a survivor series tag match!!

 

 

Wonderwolf howls as he enters the arena. Entering the stage behind him is his full team, and once they fill the stage, they let out a team howl which the crowd joins in.

 

 

Ash: FIRST! The team of Jeannie Rose, Aiko, Kid Kross, XEL, Tyler Hayes, Thor, and team captain Wonderwolf... the WOLFPACK!

 

They run down the ramp together high fiving everyone they can, then slide into the ring.

 

Simon: They have no idea who ZLI is going to throw at them, and this team doesn't give a damn. They are here for the fight in any form that takes.

 

Jackson: And it's that energy that's going to propel them to victory. You'd think that this team would be full of ego - at least three people have held belts so far - but they are more than happy to rally behind Wonderwolf. 

 

Thor, XEL, Kross, and Hayes each take a turnbuckle, Aiko and Jeannie flank Wonderwolf, and they all let out another howl.

 

Kendra: The question NOW becomes, who did ZLI pick. I think we can rule some people out - Sarah Sharp, Zora Luthor, Kalpana, and Bianca Diaz will all be in our next event so I doubt they'd be out in this chaos. But that still leaves a LOT of bodies.

 

The lights go out and the zooming song intro closes a spotlight onto the entrance as ZLI tickers run through the runners and onto the titantron.

 

 

The ZLI limo pulls up, and the chosen team exits each holding a glass of champagne and looking hungry for chaos.

 

 

Ash: And their opponents! Representing Zora Luthor International... PG-13, Morgan Maverick, Iris Correa, Lily White, Vicious Valencia, Lucenza Rossi, and team captain Kira Scene... The Scene Stealers!

 

They strut down sipping their champagne and blowing off the fans who are booing them. 

 

Kendra: Leaving her weather woman boring self behind for a life of luxury, Kira Scene has become quite the locker room leader for her team even in matches she's not in, so it makes sense that with Jassy and Aja tied up that Zora entrusted Kira to assemble a team.

 

Jackson: But don't forget, ZLI has been showing signs of cracks lately, and the rumors of the team shattering into 3 or 4 pieces have amassed considerably, not least of all because of the very two generals of Zora's that you mentioned. Jassy I imagine won't be thrilled that Iris is out here teaming with Morgan after feeling that Morgan left her for Guinevere. 

 

Simon: New team member Daria Donner made no bones about ZLI's ethos when explaining why she returned and how everyone being two steps from backstabbing each other makes them a much more solid unit. Whether I agree with that or not, we have seen it bore out in the past and now will be another test of that theory.

 

The bell rings!

 

Kendra: Kross and Morgan to start, Kross hoping to take out on Morgan his anger about Guin's title win. But Morgan shutting that down right out with a Brass Knuckle Punch!! And she goes for the cover-

 

 

Danny: ONE! TWO! THREE!

 

Kid Kross is eliminated by Morgan Maverick!

 

Simon: Well, he was quickly... Krossed out.

 

XEL enters the ring.

 

Kendra: XEL stepping up next, a lightning quick chop to Morgan and pulls her down into that Inverted Piledriver hold... waiting for it, that seems like a dumb idea...he drops her with a Singularity Spike!! And his team holds ZLI at bay!!

 

Danny: ONE! TWO! THREE!

 

Morgan Maverick is eliminated by XEL!

 

PG-13 enters the ring.

 

Simon: Makes sense to try to get these rosters cleaned out quickly, 7 on 7 is a huge endeavor. But we're down now to 6 on 6. And XEL greets PG with a Sling Blade, continuing the run unabated, and springboards himself into a crossbody splash! Going for the cover-

 

Danny: ONE! TWO!

 

Kendra: PG gets the shoulder up! Now these teams are awake!

 

Jackson: XEL with the Irish whip into his corner, tag in to Jeannie Rose, Jeannie getting PG into an airplane spin - there's that Jeannie Go Round - and XEL hits a Shooting Star on PG! Jeannie goes for the pin-

 

Danny: ONE! TWO! THREE!

Danny: ONE!

 

Jackson: Thor kicks out fairly easily and gets her up on his shoulders - he's mouthing off to Kira and stares her straight in the eyes as he drops Valencia with Mjölnir's Wrath! I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy the spite a little bit.

Danny: ONE! TWO!

 

Kendra: Thor kicks AGAIN! How can they keep this man down?? Rossi with an elbow to the top of his head as she gets up. She tries it again and he catches her arm, into a fisherman suplex and a pin attempt-not even a one. What a loser.

Danny: ONE! TWO! THREE!

 

Lucenza Rossi is eliminated by Thor!

 

Kira Scene enters the ring.

 

Simon: Iris Correa cannot be bothered with this match, which isn't gonna do great for her mission to recruit to ZLI. Kira with a chop to Thor, Thor takes her arm and rolls her into a cradle pin!

 

Danny: ONE!

 

Kendra: That was just offensive, and Kira sees it too. Thor should stop trying to troll Scene already. 

 

Jackson: He chooses to boot her instead. She rolls back to her feet and leg sweep kick. Wonderwolf, Aiko, and Iris Correa have not squared up in the ring yet. Kira attempting a splash and Thor gets the knees up! Kira rolls back and tags Iris in.

Ash: Here are your winners... AIKO, XEL, THOR, AND TYLER HAYES!

 

 

Jackson: AIKO GETS HER REVENGE ON IRIS CORREA!! The Moonblade has been tormented for MONTHS now by the underhanded, devious, backstabbing ways of the former Eye-Con, and she absolutely puts Iris Correa right in her damn place!

 

Kendra: Oh, and it looks like Iris has some thoughts, she rolls out and grabs a microphone.

 

Iris: Well. I know when I've been beaten, and when I've taken my comeuppance. Aiko, you got your win. Congratulations.

 

Iris drops the mic an extends a hand. 

 

Jackson: I don't trust it.

 

Kendra: What? Iris is being the bigger person!

 

Simon: Seems like the team sees differently, Wonderwolf grabs her other hand and pulls the knuckles out of it! 

 

Jackson: Iris spun around, Jeannie has a chair in hand, she's going to swing at Iris, and she...stops? Oh don't tell me she's going to turn on VANDAMINATOR MOONBLADE KICK BY AIKO TO THE FACE OF IRIS!! SHE WAS JUST SETTING HER FRIEND UP FOR THE KILL!! And she embraces Aiko! Here comes the rest of the squad!! Group hug! It's a lovefest!! 

 

Simon: You can see the love in the ring, as Aiko is surrounded by the whole team, tears of joy co-mingled with pain streaming down her face. This doesn't put her title back around her waist, but it DOES give her a degree of revenge. This is why we do this. This is what makes it a Pay Per View. Not just the matches themselves, but the redemption.

 

Kendra: We're about to get into the Seven Deadly Sins, but first, let's rewind to two weeks when champ Matt Martigon had this to say-

 

 

Present Day.

 

The Wicked Deadly Matt Martigon. The newly crowned MAWL US Champion. Sits in the back of his limo as his driver Cid holds his phone up.

 

 

MATT MARTIGON: “We rolling or what!? Fuck sakes!”

 

CID: “…my phones battery is at like twenty percent. But we are recording now sir.”

 

MATT MARTIGON: “I didnt have to manifest this. I didnt have to make any promises. I guaranteed it. Because i know im putting in the work. I know that i have what it takes. Bell to bell or bar for bar. While this MAWL roster is the gold standard for professional wrestling, a large portion if not all of you have been sleeping on THE WICKED DEADLY.

 

While guys like JP Whogivesashit were standing around thumbing their own dicks. I was out there making MOVES. Taking RISKS.

 

A Canadian US Champion. Never been done before in the history of pro wrestling.

 

And to make things even more spicy. It’s a guarantee that your guy Martigon has his current contract with MAWL  set to expire next week.

 

What. A. Predicament…

 

Now for normal people. That could be considered to be quite a bit of pressure. But for The Wicked Deadly Matt Martigon.

 

It’s just another god damn day.

 

Now, I would be lying if I said that that this level of pressure doesn’t bring out the best in me. I’m excited to be here! 

 

Which brings me to my first defense as MAWL US Champion. 

 

What the actual fuck is a ‘PADDY WAGON MATCH?’

 

No. Seriously. Somebody send me the rules for this thing.

 

And who is Will Corrigan? Like the Smashing Pumpkins guy? I have ALL his albums! 

 

Well listen up Billy Boy!

 

They say that you never forget your first but I got big plans with this here US Championship. I may be from Canada but that doesn’t mean I don’t fuckin loooooooove GOLD. GUARANTEED.

 

And if we are being completely honest with each other here I plan on forgetting you pretty much immediately after this ‘PADDY WAGON’ match. Sorry, not sorry big dog! At Thankless this US Championship is  coming home with The Wicked Deadly Matt Martigon. 

 

You don’t have to like it. But you are just one of many title defenses in title run of a generation and I got mouths to feed BAYBEE.

 

After I smash kick this pumpkins bald ass in the paddy wagon MAWL fans and anybody else that’s looking to come after this US championship around here are going to find out  what “fighting champion” means.

 

And that’s fuckin..

..GUARANTEED.”

 

 

Jackson: I think I know the answer to this, but what IS a Paddy Wagon Match?

 

 

Kendra: It's a kind of combination Handcuff Match and Ambulance Match, except the Ambulance is...well, a Paddy Wagon. Once of those take you to jail trucks. The last time I won a title it was in a Paddy Wagon Match, and I think this is the first time in almost 8 years that MAWL is bringing it back.

 

 

Simon: Do you remember anything about the match?

 

Kendra: It hurts like hell for one. It was my last MAWL Women's Title, which is now the Asylum Title since everything became co-ed which is amazing and I'm so happy MAWL made that change. It was Zora's first title defense after her descent into darkness and I just BARELY beat her.

 

Jackson: So we'll have to see if Will Corrigan will continue the trend or if Matt will shut it down. But that's to come later. We've got these Elimination Chambers to take on first. 

 

Simon: For time constraints, only the first two entrants of each match will get an entrance; the others will be raised into the chambers. Because there are 7 of these matches, the chambers have no glass this time and are pure metal, will not shatter or even give. I'll let Ash explain further.

 

 

Ash: The following is the 7 Deadly Sins Chambers series! Competitors will fight in a series of 7 Elimination Chamber matches, one for each sin, with the winners facing each other in a Ladder Match! The winner of the Ladder Match will face the Asylum Champion at Holiday Hellscape!

 

 

Ash: The first group to face off will be The Wrath Group!

 

 

Ash: And now, the individuals who will start this match!

 

 

The tron flickers with corrupted carnival footage. A spotlight hits the entrance ramp where Stitches stands perfectly still, head tilted.

 

 

Ash: First! From the Big Top of the Damned, at 285 pounds, STITCHES THE CLOWN!

 

Balloons drop from the ceiling, and as he moves forward, each step echoes with clown giggles over a distorted bass line.

 

 

The arena goes dark, and the sound of a slow, ominous drumbeat fills the air before this theme music begins. A blood-red spotlight illuminates the stage as Blood Drawn slowly makes his way to the ring.

 

 

Ash: And his opponent! From Steelhaven, weighing in at 285 pounds, BLOOD DRAWN!

 

He stares down the crowd with cold, predatory eyes before stepping into the ring and roaring to signal his dominance.

 

The bell rings!

 

Kendra: It's rare that two people are exactly the same size, but Blood and Stitches both come in at 285. And they're pushing against each other, show of strength and Blood dominates it! Shoulder Breaker to Stitches! Stitches comes back up and trip to Blood Drawn with an ankle lock! Blood pushes him off quickly, Stitches immediately comes back and kick to the side of Blood's leg. 

 

Simon: Stitches keeping hold of the leg and another kick to the side of it, Blood Drawn with a solid mid kick pushing Stitches back and Running Shoulder Block! Scooping Stitches up and running sidewalk drive! 

 

Jackson: Stitches pulling himself using Blood's hair and charges him into a turnbuckle and just smashing his face into the buckle! Turning Blood Drawn around and multiple headbutts just smashing Blood's face into a waffle. Blood with a back elbow to get him off, and package piledriver into a pin-

 

 

DeAndra Jones: ONE! TWO! THREE!

 

Stitches the Clown is eliminated by Blood Drawn!

 

Simon: Stitches won't be going on. He's been having a real rough go as of late.

 

Kendra: He needs to laugh less and fight more.

 

Jackson: Well, we're going by the Empty Ring rule and here comes the Countdown.

 

10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1!

 

 

Simon: Luciano comes in immediately with a roll-up-Blood Drawn kicks immediately. 

 

Kendra: Luciano undeterred, backbreaker to Blood. Blood hooks his leg for a cradle pin-Luciano doesn't even give him a 1. Rolls to his feet BUTCHER'S BLADE SUPERKICK!!

 

DAJ: ONE! TWO! THREE!

 

Blood Drawn is eliminated by Luciano!

 

Jackson: And Luciano takes him right into the ground.

 

Simon: Quick in and quick elimination. Which means it's time for the countdown-

 

10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1!

 

 

Kendra: Gozu boots Luciano down and goes for a quick pin-Luciano kicks out quickly.

 

Jackson: Gozu shrugs and ripcord lariat to Luciano, Luciano responds quickly with an elbow shot, and Gozu responds right back with a headbutt and drops him into a Cobra Clutch Bulldog. Luciano spins back around and a quick punch to the gut. 

 

Simon: It's a real back and forth, Gozu throwing more headbutts and Luciano drops him with a spinebuster! Going for a cover-Gozu reverses!

 

DAJ: ONE!

 

Kendra: Luciano kicks out again, Double Underhook DDT! Puts the Mob Shoes on Gozu!!

 

DAJ: ONE! TWO! TH-

 

Simon: Gozu barely kicks, but it's enough to frustrate Luciano. Gozu off the ropes, SHINING WIZARD! Well damn! 

 

Kendra: He'll surprise you, that one. And he hits a running senton. Luciano to his feet, BUTCHER'S BLADE!!

 

DAJ: ONE! TWO! THREE!

 

Gozu is eliminated by Luciano!

 

 

Jackson: Well, I guess Gozu won't be getting his title back.

 

10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1! 

 

 

Simon: Luciano not afraid and going right for the stomach punches. Rade with a headbutt back.

 

Kendra: This is a headbutt heavy group. Rade does it again.

 

Jackson: And a pair of huge bionic elbows by Rade, and a bell clap! Luciano staggers back, Butchers Blade Superkick RADE CATCHES HIM OUT AND POWERBOMB!!! Going for a pin-

 

DAJ: ONE! TWO!

 

Simon: Kick out by Luciano, Rade gets him by the throat and just TOSSES him! 

 

Jackson: SPEAR BY LUCIANO! And going for a pin, makes sense so he doesn't get a 2 on 1 against Rabia Sagriente but Rade kicks out, Irish Whip AND 7 FEET UNDER!! THAT POP UP CHOKESLAM!!

 

DAJ: ONE! TWO! THREE! 

 

Luciano is eliminated by Rade!

 

Kendra: It is going to be a battle between Rabia Sagriente.

 

Simon: Well if there's one team that can beat the hell out of each other and still have each other's backs, they would be my pick.

 

10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1!

 

 

Kendra: Mal Sangre right in blasting Rade with a Spear!! Rade kicks out quickly though, Sangre with a huge Belly to Belly, and right into a second one, trying for another pin.

 

DAJ: ONE! TWO!

 

Simon: Rade up again, Sangre not giving up on trying to get him down, roll up and Rade tries to reverse but Sangre kicks and a punch to Rade's face. Rade grabs his hand and launches him way over his shoulder! Sangre charges back and shoulder tackle doubles Rade over! Scoops up for a front slam and drives Rade into the mat! Going for the pin BUT RADE ROLLS HIM UP... and a kick.

 

Jackson: Rade charges him into the turnbuckle, throwing forearm shots to Sangre. Sangre pushes back with a headbutt, and scoops Rade up and a brutal running powerslam. Going for a pin and again Rade reverses-

 

DAJ: ONE!

 

Kendra: Sangre up. I'm not used to seeing Rade play a defensive game but here we are. Rade has to pick it up if he wants a shot here, and takes Sangre for a swing! Getting him by the legs again, Alabama Slam! Sangre kicking back Kangaroo style, and a Jawbreaker. Rade with a chop and Uranage! Sangre quick up with a Kesagiri chop, pops him up and BLOODLINE'S WRATH!!

 

DAJ: ONE! TWO! THREE!

 

Rade is eliminated by Mal Sangre! Mal Sangre wins the Wrath Group!

 

 

Ash: Here is the winner! MAL SANGRE!!!

 

Kendra: It would have been a surreal experience for the Vessel of Wrath NOT to win the Wrath Group.

 

 

Ash: The next group will be The Pride Group!

 

 

Ash: Here is the first entrant of the Pride Group!

 

 

Vain Plato walks to the stage with a montage played on the Platotron5000 of Plato’s most beautiful posing moments.

 

 

Ash: FIRST! From Rome, Italy but residing in Las Vegas, weighing 260 pounds, THE BEAUTIFUL ONE, VAIN PLATO!

 

Plato starts to muscle pose whilst holographic roses appear on the walls. Plato then walks to the ring and the lights turn back on and Plato stands in the center of the ring and begins to gyrate and blows a kiss at the camera.

 

Kendra: Vain Plato I'm sure is in some way happy to be first, so he's not hidden in one of those tubes.

 

Simon: And as we've seen in the past, he's willing to forsake safety for beauty.

 

Ash: And here is the individual who gets the second spot!

 

The lights go out and the ceiling resembles a star show at an observatory.

 

Voiceover: Move over 5s. The 10 has landed.

 

 

A space throne rises up on the stage, with Kalpana sitting preening.

 

 

Ash: And number 2! Representing Zora Luthor International, from the Nepali Space Station, DEEP SPACE 10, KALPANA!!

 

Kalpana flows her cape backwards and walks with her nose up and her hands extended towards the ring, taking in the boos.

 

The bell rings!

 

Kendra: Kalpana posing in front of Vain, that's not wise AT all, he scoops her into that Pumphandle...MERCHANDISE DROP!

 

DAJ: ONE!

 

Simon: Kalpana reverses! But Vain kicks, pulls her up with him and Atomic Drop. He pulls her up and another Merchandise Drop!

 

Jackson: And once again she rolls out, it's a brutal situation. She gets up, takes Vain and spins him around, MOONSAULT TOMBSTONE! NEPAL BEARER!! 

 

DAJ: ONE! TWO! THREE!

 

Vain Plato is eliminated by Kalpana!

 

Kendra: Vain put in a hell of an effort.

 

Simon: But it was in... Vain.

 

Kendra: Nooo.

 

Jackson: It's nigh impossible to get away from the Nepal Bearer. 

 

10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1! 

 

 

Kendra: These two have been teaming with and fighting against each other right from when they got here. Juan coming in through the top rope, that Somersault Knee Shot!! KNEE-ON!!

 

DAJ: ONE!

 

Jackson: Kal kicks out, Kal rolls back and Juan with a jumping Kravate Kick! Quick stomp and gets her up, Northern Lights Driver! SECOND! THIRD!! NEON LIGHTS!!! 

 

DAJ: ONE! TWO! T-

 

Simon: Kalpana barely kicks, but Neon already off the ropes and huracanrana! But Kal bounces up, Possum Stunner!! We have Lift-Off! Going for the pin-NEON REVERSES!

 

DAJ: ONE!

 

Kendra: Reverse again-

 

DAJ: ONE! TWO! THREE!

 

Neon Juan Guyverno is eliminated by Kalpana!

 

Jackson: Kalpana let Neon do all the work and then just offed him. 

 

10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1!

 

 

Simon: Another longstanding battle, one has to wonder what Axel has to be proud of. 

 

Kendra: He fully intends to show us, running European Uppercut, going for a cover-

 

DAJ: ONE! TWO! THREE!

 

Kalpana is eliminated by Axel!

 

Jackson: Well, now that's something to be proud of.

 

10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1!

 

 

Kendra: Imogen with a running knee strike takes Axel backwards, he pulls her in and Union Jackhammer!! Which is, to be fair, just a Jackhammer, but damned if it isn't brutal.

 

DAJ: ONE! TWO! THREE!

 

Imogen is eliminated by Axel!

 

Jackson: Looks like he took your comments to heart.

 

Simon: There's still one more person to go.

 

10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1!

 

 

The crowd chants Foppish Prick at Axel, and he starts to get heated.

 

Kendra: The crowd is getting on Axel's case once again, and he does NOT know how to drown them out! But you should really be paying attention to the ring WOLFGUNBLUD HITS HIM WITH A DOUBLE AXE HANDLE... TO THE TOP... BURST FROG SPLASH!

 

DAJ: ONE! TWO! THREE!

 

Axel is eliminated by Wolfgunblud! Wolfgunblud wins!

 

 

Ash: HERE IS THE WINNER OF THE PRIDE GROUP, WOLFGUNBLUD!

 

Simon: If there's any group where both the winners and losers were going to be obnoxious, it was going to be the Pride group.

 

 

Ash: The next group will be The Greed Group!

 

 

Ash: And now, the first entrant of the Greed Group!

 

The lights go down and Ticker Tape runs throughout the arena. 

 

 

A helicopter shows on the titantron, and as it lands to the door, the lights go gold with sparkle effects. Zora Luthor steps through the door.

 

 

Ash: FIRST! The leader of Zora Luthor International, from her Penthouse in New York City, the Head of the Conference Table, ZORA LUTHOR!

 

She is showered by boos as she is carried down the ramp by masked men in ZLI suits. 

 

Jackson: Is there any better personification of Greed than that woman right there.

 

Kendra: Is it greedy to take what you want without regard to others, even your own allies?

 

Simon: ...Yes. 

 

The masked men lift her up on the apron, and take off her expensive blazer and skirt to reveal her wrestling attire. 

 

 

As his theme music plays over the PA system, James holds back until the song kicks in and then makes his way out from behind the curtain.

 

 

Ash: And number 2, also from New York City, weighing in at 190 pounds, the Most Interesting Man in the World, JAMES D!!

 

As he moves into the sight of the fans, he's met with boos but this just brings a smile to his face. The boos continue to rain down towards James but it doesn't phase him as he makes his way down the ramp. James rolls into the ring and then stands in the corner waiting for the bell.

 

The bell rings!

 

Jackson: James had that knee pre-loaded.... D STROYER!!!

 

DAJ: ONE! TWO! THREE!

 

Zora Luthor is eliminated by James D!

 

Kendra: I think Zora should probably just move to being a Manager at this point. She's not been doing great in the ring lately.

 

10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1!

 

 

Simon: James meets him straightaway with a swinging neckbreaker.

 

Kendra: Quick stomp before he gets on his feet, goes for another and Dragon Leg Screw by Kenneth and now gives him a stomp of his own. Kenneth didn't learn from James, now going for a second stomp, James gets the leg and an atomic drop. 

 

Jackson: Rolling back and takes the run... D STROYER KNEE! Going for the pin-

 

DAJ: ONE! TWO! THREE!

 

Kenneth Tuckey IX is eliminated by James D!

 

Simon: He's looking to run the board, and he could be the first to do it.

 

10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1!

 

 

Kendra: James mows her right down with a clothesline, she gets right back up, to the corner, James is charging and Utopia whacks him with her luxury bag! I don't know what she has in there but it's left a mark!

 

DAJ: ONE! TWO! THREE!

 

James D is eliminated by Utopia Lin!

 

Simon: The cat's out of the bag, and the James is out of this match, and that means this will be our first woman in this match. 

 

10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1!

 

 

Simon: Utopia with a slap to Genoveva, snap DDT, and Crucifix Facebuster!! FIRST CLASS!!

 

DAJ: ONE! TWO! THREE!

 

Genoveva Nilza is eliminated by Utopia Lin!

 

Jackson: Down to one more!

Kendra: BJ in and BRASS KNUCKS! Quick pin!!

 

DAJ: ONE! TWO! THREE!

 

Utopia Lin is eliminated by BJ He! BJ He wins!

 

 

Ash: Here is the winner, BJ HE!!

 

Simon: BJ steals herself a victory, and if it goes well, this could potentially be a second title for her at Holiday Hellscape.

 

 

Ash: The following is the Envy Group!

 

 

Ash: Here is the individual who drew the first part!

 

 

Violet walks out blowing off the audience entirely. 

 

 

Ash: Representing EM Powered! From Los Angeles, California, VIOLET!!

 

Violet threatens to hit random audience members as she enters the ring.

 

Kendra: Violet's envy was what got her to turn on everyone at Fallout.

 

Ash: And the person who drew the second spot -

 

 

Sarah Sharp walks out, yardstick in hand.

 

 

Ash: Representing Zora Luthor International, from Braintree, Vermont, the Dean of the School of  Social Success, SARAH SHARP!

 

Sarah Sharp taps the yardstick in her hand as she struts down the ramp.

 

Simon: And Sarah has her own struggles with envy, both dealing with her place in ZLI and dealing with JP Spears. 

 

The bell rings!

 

Jackson: Violet charging in, Sarah Sharp gets her straight up... High Angle Spinebuster!!! JOYKILLER!!!

 

DAJ: ONE! TWO! THREE!

 

Violet is eliminated by Sarah Sharp!

 

Kendra: That Joykiller has put away probably a good third of the roster at least once.

 

10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1!

 

 

Simon: Running forearm shot by Rina, Rina whips Sarah off the ropes and a huge knee to her gut. Rina with a DDT! And a German Suplex, pin attempt-

10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1!

 

 

Simon: Ghost with a crowbar to the stomach of Sarah, he goes for another shot but she blocks him and kick to the midsection. Fisherman suplex by Sarah into a pin-Ghost kicks. Sarah rakes his eyes on the way up.

DAJ: ONE! TWO! THREE!

 

Sarah Sharp is eliminated by Red Ghost! Red Ghost wins!

 

 

Ash: HERE IS YOUR WINNER... RED GHOST!!

 

Simon: Sarah Sharp almost ran the board completely, and Red Ghost just barely squeaks it at the end!! What a swerve!! 

 

Kendra: This means there is a world in which Nero and Red Ghost could fight for the Asylum Title, if all goes in a way that makes that work.

 

 

Ash: The following is the Sloth Group Elimination Chamber!

 

 

Ash: And now, here is the first competitor in this match.

 

 

Smoke fills the entranceway. Super Chill Danny Gill steps out raising up his hands slowly. 

 

 

Ash: FIRST! From Faaborg, Denmark, weighing in at 240 pounds, Super Chill Danny Gill!

 

Danny Gill gets the audience swaying. 

 

Simon: This might be the first match that we get more than 2 people, if only because I doubt they're going to be doing quick...well, anything really.

 

Danny takes his time and gives a thumbs up to the crowd as he steps in the ring.

 

 

Dr. Owen shuffles out.

 

 

Ash: And number 2! From Fremont, California, weighing in at 298 pounds, Dr. Owen.

 

Dr. Owen continues shuffling down the ramp and gets into the ring with little fanfare. 

 

The bell rings.

 

Kendra: They really didn't think through this concept in terms of putting the slothiest people together. 

 

Simon: Gill trying to give Dr. Owen a hug and make him feel better? And Owen barely accepts it and Gill brings it in. Oh, there's a belly to belly!

 

Dr. Owen: I should have known that would happen.

 

Jackson: Gill rolling his shoulders a bit, and a chop. Gill lifts Owen up, kinda grooving in his own mind, and a suplex! Going for a pin...or just not getting up quickly... either way it's the same.

 

DAJ: ONE!

 

Simon: And Owen's shoulder is up. Gill with a headbutt, and Owen rolls him up! Gill reverses!

 

DAJ: ONE! TWO! THREE!

 

Dr, Owen is eliminated by Super Chill Danny Gill!

 

Kendra: That was...quicker than I thought it would be.

 

10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1!

 

 

Kendra: Tortuga loathe to get out of the comfort of his pod. 

 

Simon: It appears that he's charging up in there. Danny Gill walking over to him, Tortuga punches him and pulls him...going for a real slow spin...and a Sidewalk Slam! Danny Gill just got Shell Shocked!

 

DAJ: ONE! TWO! THREE!

 

Super Chill Danny Gill is eliminated by Tortuga de Acero!

 

Jackson: They may be too chill to get up quickly, we didn't consider that.

 

10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1!

 

 

Kendra: Tortuga with a headbutt to Raleigh. Scoops her up...holding... holding... and a front slam. Tortuga going for a punch, very telegraphed and Raleigh kicks him in the stomach. Sleeperhold by Raleigh and she holds Tortuga's eyes open - REM! Tortuga fighting this hold and trying to get to the ropes... but he's very slow and Raleigh's strength is underestimated greatly and the life is draining from him with a slowness. 

 

Simon: As we're waiting this out, we want to remind you that the winner of this and these other Deadly Sins Elimination Chambers have to make it through a ladder match at the end of this rainbow before getting that title shot.

 

Jackson: I don't foresee Tortuga winning a ladder match. 

 

Kendra: The likelier scenario is a Yertle the Turtle deal where everyone uses him as a makeshift ladder base. 

 

Simon: DeAndra reaching for Tortuga's hand, and it drops! Going for a second, it drops again! Going for the final drop... NO! Tortuga keeps his arm up! He's still in this thing! Raleigh switches it up and drops him with a bulldog. Tortuga trying to get back up, Raleigh taking a run, going for an Asai Moonsault and Tortuga manages to get his knees up! And the countdown picks up-

 

10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1!

 

 

Kendra: Slang in, and he gets Tortuga up! Dang a Slang Slam!!

 

DAJ: ONE! TWO! THREE!

 

Tortuga De Acero is eliminated by Slang Dang!

 

Jackson: This is the first time that we had three people in the ring at once in these matches, and though Tortuga didn't last long, it's actually not going right to countdown.

 

Kendra: Slang to his feet and Raleigh ready for him with a Shining Wizard! Stomp by Raleigh, and a jumping knee drop. Another... Slang rolls away and Raleigh lands on her knee! Slang zeroes in on that and knee smash onto the mat! Raleigh attempts to roll Slang up-

 

DAJ: ONE!

 

Simon: Quick kick by Slang. Raleigh throwing quick punches before Slang can get up. 

 

Jackson: Slang grabs a punch and flips her around... Kimura! Triangle Choke!! Slang's Gates!!! Raleigh taps!!!

 

Raleigh Erin Moss is eliminated by Slang Dang!

 

Kendra: He turned that around with a quickness, and we now have one more cell to open.

 

10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1!

 

 

Simon: Dedo Apestoso, I wouldn't have immediately put him in as Sloth but I guess people do count sheep. 

 

Kendra: Dives in with an elbow smash to get this show rolling, and follows right up with a swinging neckbreaker, gets him up and Implant DDT la Muerte! Going for the pin-SLANG REVERSES THE ROLL UP-but Dedo kicks.

 

Jackson: Dedo rolls back but it gives Slang enough room to catch him with a Back Spinning Wheel Kick! Lands on his feet, Dedo to his feet but Slang ready with a dropkick! He may have taken this momentum right back! Dedo won't stay down, Slang hits him with a chop and adds two more with his other hand, and back to the first hand with a stiff punch, Dedo catches the arm and judo flip! Slang tries to get to his feet and eats a scissor kick!! From the ground hooking Dedo's leg and rolling into a cradle-Dedo reverses into a lateral press! But Slang kicks.

 

Simon: And Slang wraps himself around for a Bow and Arrow Lock on Dedo, Dedo feeling the strain but able to just barely make the rope, Slang rolls away and Dedo gets his legs... WELSH CRAB!! SLANG ROLLS HIM INTO A SMALL PACKAGE PIN!!

 

DAJ: ONE! TWO! THREE!

 

Dedo Apestoso de la Muerte is eliminated by Slang Dang! Slang Dang wins!

 

 

Ash: HERE IS YOUR WINNER! SLANG DANG!

 

Simon: Is he the best representative of Sloth? That's debatable. 

 

Kendra: The best representative of Sloth would not have won a match. That'd be like someone actually showing to a Procrastinators' Association meeting. 

 

Jackson: And some have called him that Cassidy of MAWL. Which, I guess.

 

Kendra: He's certainly got that model smolder to him.

 

 

 

Simon: Well, since we're getting hot and bothered in here anyway, it's a good swing to our next group.

 

Ash: The following is the Lust Group!

 

 

Ash: And now, the individual who will get the first spot-

 

The lights go real dark and grimy.

 

 

Lasers just add to the grime as G. Go Low enters the stage, strutting his stuff and playing with his tie.

 

 

Ash: First! From Reno, Nevada, weighing in at 212 pounds... G. GO LOW!

 

Kendra: Until recently, he had been all for Standards and Practices, and all that self-inflicted repression is overcorrecting like crazy. And I'll say, I am FOR it.

 

G. struts down the ramp, catwalk style, stopping occasionally to eye an audience member and unbutton a button, first on his blazer, then on his pants. He enters the ring, and as a pink spotlight hits him, he dramatically tosses the tie, the jacket, and the pants to reveal pink trunks that accentuate his glutes with a "G" covered in glitter on both sides. 

 

 

The spotlight comes to the entrance as Jerry Knox, in a leisure suit jacket and jean shorts comes out.

 

 

Ash: And the individual who drew Number 2! From Silver City, New Mexico, weighing in at 243 pounds, the Silver Fox Jerry Knox!

 

Jerry flexes his muscles as he walks down and winks at random audience members, who do not seem pleased. 

 

Kendra: What you are witnessing in real time, is the sound of 1000 floods becoming droughts almost instantaneously. It's like someone pulled the drain plug of the collective pool.

 

Simon: It's what men think they are versus what they really are.

 

Jackson: And if G. Go Low isn't careful he could be staring down his future. 

 

Jerry Knox is too pleased with himself and delusional to read the room, and he Ric Flair struts on the apron before winking one more time and entering.

 

The bell rings!

 

Knox and Low circle each other, and they begin to flex their muscles at each other. This turns into a pose-off, where they take turns matching muscle demonstration at each other. The audience begins to get a little restless. Knox, sensing he's been outposed, smacks G. Go Low with his right hand.

 

Simon: We just lost 30 seconds on a pose-off no one asked for and finally Jerry Knox takes the first swing. Knox smacks him now with the left. Test of strength, Knox on top and a belly to belly suplex. Knox gets him up in a vertical suplex.... STUNNER! SILVERGUN!

 

DAJ: ONE! TWO! THREE!

 

G. Go Low is eliminated by Jerry Knox!

 

Kendra: Knox may not have our hearts or our passion but now he has our attention.

 

10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1!

 

 

Simon: Knox winks at Icyy Thot, Thot gets him right in the eyes with a poke and whips him off the ropes, and a Spinebuster! Running off the ropes, jumping elbow drop!

 

Kendra: Knox not being given a second to breathe! Icyy Thot holding Knox's arms up in a Y and Nelson Lock!!! Y2! And Knox taps! He is out of the picture!

 

Jerry Knox is eliminated by Icyy Thot!

 

Jackson: Let this be a lesson. Don't make a pass at someone who doesn't want it.

 

10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1!

 

 

Simon: DX enters, Icyy with the kick to his gut, and strapping to her back for a Vertebreaker.... and a Running Vertebreaker!! Break the Ice!!

 

DAJ: ONE! TWO! THREE!

 

DX Royal is eliminated by Icyy Thot!

 

Kendra: Well, this is another that's going to a woman, and I couldn't be happier.

 

10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1! 

 

 

Jackson: Thot with a quick Side Slam to Diaz! Diaz quick to her feet and Inverted Cross Rhodes outta nowhere!!! That BDE!!

 

DAJ: ONE! TWO! THREE!

 

Icyy Thot is eliminated by Bianca Diaz!

 

Kendra: Thot suppressed! And now one remains-

 

10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1!

 

 

Simon: The lady literally has lust in her name.

 

Jackson: But does it show in her actions? Jamie with a swing at Diaz, Diaz block and rough chop across the chest. Pulls her in and BDE!!! 

 

DAJ: ONE! TWO! THREE!

 

Lustress Jamie Harrison is eliminated by Bianca Diaz! Bianca Diaz wins!

 

 

Ash: Here is your winner...BIANCA DIAZ!

 

Kendra: And yet again Sex Appeal gets one over on Psycho Supremacy, as Bianca will be the representative of the Lust Group.

 

 

Ash: The final elimination chamber will be the Gluttony Group!

 

 

Ash: Here is the first person to enter the match!

 

 

As the first woos kick in the arena turns black with accents of yellow lights about. The video screens throughout the arena are running a scrolling set of bananas. As the acoustic guitar settles in the camera starts to pan around the arena where “firefly” type lights are showing up only in that same yellow.

 

“And before that wolf eats my gramma give that wolf a banana” plays and Banana Ben enters the stage dancing with a banana in each hand.

 

 

Ash: First! From Sandwich, New Hampshire, weighing in at 258 pounds, the Potassium Punisher, BANANA BEN!

 

As soon as the beat drops and “BANANA” hits he throws his arms up and all the lights go yellow. He walks down the ramp trying to get people to raise the roof and sing along to “YUM YUM YUM” … some do, while others boo. He jumps on the apron and does a little twerk before entering the ring.

 

 

Phyllodendron walks out tapping his rolling pin in his hand like a bat, but smiling.

 

 

Ash: And the person who drew number two! From Mykonos, Greece, weighing 281 pounds, PHYLLODENDRON!!

 

He mimics rolling dough out on the apron then rolls in.

 

The bell rings!

 

Simon: One spot left, and it's gluttony. Phyllo with his rolling pin right to the gut of Banana, Banana punches back, Phyllo with a Crucifix Driver Pin! But Banana rolls away.

 

Kendra: Banana coming around... Springboard Superman Punch! FRUIT PUNCH!

 

DAJ: ONE! TWO! THREE!

 

Phyllodendron is eliminated by Banana Ben!

 

Jackson: Ben is a master of a quick and unexpected turnaround, and that also means a quick turnaround on the competition.

 

10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1!

 

 

Simon: Nobi going for a quick roll-up-Banana kicks quickly, Nobi responds by going for the face...and the Iron Chef Claw Slam!!

 

DAJ: ONE! TWO! THREE!

 

Banana Ben is eliminated by Chef Nobi!

 

Kendra: With conviction.

 

Jackson: The Banana has been split. And we continue.

 

10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1!

 

 

Simon: Max charges in and smashes himself into Nobi! Off the ropes and Spear to Nobi!! 

 

DJA: ONE! TWO! THREE!

 

Chef Nobi is eliminated by Max Matthews!

 

Kendra: Immediate drop, and Max gets a quick W as we wait for the next to come in.

 

10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1!

 

 

Jackson: It's become a Goliath's fight, and Matthews scores first blood with a headbutt, follows with a European Uppercut and one with one the other hand. 

 

Kendra: Pitta responds with a punch to the ribcage, but Matthews rolls him up- no go, a kick out, Matthews pushed back and he uses that to take a run....SPEEEEEAR!

 

DAJ: ONE! TWO! THREE!

 

Pitta Power is eliminated by Max Matthews!

 

Simon: Max Matthews has one more opponent to go, he's getting himself ready. 

 

Kendra: We shouldn't have underestimated it.

 

10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1!

 

 

Kendra: Matthews knocks Rocky back with a double axe-handle! Elbow shot to Rocky, Rocky smashes Max Matthews in the face with an empty bottle! He rolls back and SPEAR ANYWAY!

 

DAJ: ONE! TWO! THREE!

 

Rocky Plymouth is eliminated by Max Matthews! Max Matthews wins!

 

 

Ash: Here is your winner! MAX MATTHEWS!! 

 

Simon: Matthews is turning his luck around! This is a statement win!

 

Kendra: And this means that the Ladder Match is all set, and just seconds away!

 

 

Ash: The following is the Ladder Match containing the winners of the Seven Deadly Sins Chambers!

Representing Wrath, Mal Sangre!

Representing Pride, Wolfgunblud!

Representing Greed, BJ He!

Representing Envy, Red Ghost!

Representing Sloth, Slang Dang!

Representing Lust, Bianca Diaz!

And, Representing Gluttony, Max Matthews!

 

The remaining members charge down to the ring!

 

Kendra: And so we have 7 people in a ladder match. Max Matthews Irish Whip to Red Ghost, Slang Dang catches him into a Back Body Drop! Mal Sangre grabs Wolfgunblud by the throat and begins punching him in the face, launches him out of the ring!

 

Simon: Bianca has BJ He in the corner, and just forearm shots to her, Irish Whip to the other corner and charging her, Max launches Bianca at BJ He, Max charges both of them and Stinger Splash!! 

 

Jackson: Red Ghost up to his feet, jumps the back of Matthews and Zig Zags him. Bianca taking BJ up to the turnbuckle, Avalanche Fallaway Slam! Wolf back on the apron and he's got a spiked bat... right to the head of Mal Sangre, but Slang leapfrogs Mal Sangre's collapsing form to dropkick Wolf! 

 

Kendra: That was smart, loosen the bat from Wolf's hand, BJ gets hold of it and to the face of Max! BJ going nuts with that bat, to the back of Red Ghost, to the sides of Slang Dang, Sangre grabs the bat and swings it from its top end, there goes BJ flying! 

 

Jackson: BJ catching herself before she rolls out of the ring, trying to get herself up and Wolf is there with a spinning back wheel kick to send her to the outside!

 

Simon: Here comes Slang Dang and LAUNCHES himself over the rope, 450 Splash onto BJ! It's just a mess of bodies in there. 

 

Kendra: Wolf and Bianca exchanging chops HERE COMES MAX AND HE SPEARS THEM BOTH! Red Ghost has his crowbar and right to the ribs of Mal Sangre, and uppercuts him with it. Slang going under the mat, starting to pull that ladder BJ THROWING PUNCHES AT HIM to get him off his game, BJ runs Slang into the steel steps!! BJ continuing to pull the ladder out from under, gets it up, Max whips Bianca over the ropes onto the ladder!! That weakens BJ's hold on it and Max tosses Wolf on top of Bianca!! She gets sandwiched with that ladder and BJ's arms almost get ripped off coming down quickly with it!!

 

Jackson: Max is showing a lot of acuity of two birds, one stone, and now he's looking to make a splash, building momentum in his run but Bianca and Wolf shake it off in time and roll away from the ladder!! SUICIDE DIVE BY MAX ONTO A BODY OF STEEL!!

 

Simon: You can see the look on his face as he preps his liftoff that this was in fact a terrible idea but there was no chance to stop the momentum. 

 

Kendra: Max flattened on that ladder, I don't think it's gonna be accessible for a while. Bianca with an Irish Whip NO BJ reverses it and the body of Bianca comes crashing into the ladder by the barricade! 

 

Jackson: Slang finally able to peel himself off the steps, charging and a clothesline to the back of BJ's head! Slang shakes the bodies off the ladder by the barricade and is looking to bring it into the ring. Into the ring and Mal Sangre boots the ladder, sending Slang right back out! Sangre claims the ladder and he's heading to the middle of the ring Max Matthews back in and pops him with a running Polish Hammer! Sangre staggers forward, but spins the ladder around and catches Max in its blades!

 

Simon: Springboard Dropkick by Red Ghost pushes the ladder into Sangre, the propulsion on that was nothing short of impressive and Sangre pushed back to the ropes. Going for another run and single leg dropkick takes Sangre over the ropes! 

 

Kendra: Only Max and Ghost in the ring right now, Ghost gets the ladder and oh wait that means that other ladder is free, Bianca and BJ are playing tug of war with it, Slang to his feet and they mow him down with NO Slang jumps! He's standing on the horizontal ladder in between them, running slide kick to Bianca, knocks her hold on the ladder off and the ladder drips down right on top of her Slang running up the incline of the ladder and dropkick to BJ! 

 

Jackson: Inside the ring, Max and Ghost trading blows at the top of the ladder, Max smashes his head into the top of the ladder, and again! Slang sees the writing on the wall and lets go of the ladder outside, up onto the turnbuckles... ohh he's running the ropes! Smart!! Get that momentum going.... a bounce... a higher bounce.... takes a breath and SPRINGBOARD SLING BLADE BARELY CONNECTS TO GHOST!!! THEY BOTH COME SPILLING TO THE MAT!!!

 

Crowd: This is awesome!!! This is awesome!!!

 

Simon: Bianca and BJ catching their breath outside, Bianca first to her feet and gets that ladder, roll it into the ring. Bianca all alone NO BJ up and in, she can't shake BJ He, as BJ unloads a flurry of chops to Bianca. Bianca gets her arm and tucks her in for the BDE!! Bianca setting the ladder up, starting to climb... MAL SANGRE REACHES THROUGH THE LADDER AND GETS HER BY THE NECK!! YANKS HER FACE QUICKLY INTO THE STEEL AND CHOKE TOSSES HER! MAX BOOTS THE LADDER DOWN ON ITS SIDE!! MAL FEELS IT RIGHT IN THE ARM!

 

Kendra: Mal Sangre has to fight later for the Family Dinner Match! He can't go getting injured now! BJ He and Wolf work to pull the ladder back upright with Mal's arm still wedged... Max Matthews running crossbody stymies that attempt! They were so close to setting up the ladder! 

 

Jackson: Red Ghost gets a Table out, he wants to introduce a whole other level of chaos to the proceedings! Max pulls the ladder upright again, goes to open it and frees Mal's arm. Getting it up to the middle of the ring...Max Matthews starting to make the climb up but he should have taken care of Mal! Mal climbing up the other side, they make it to the top in time, exchanging punches! This is just a whole ton of brutality and Mal Sangre mists Max Matthews! He steps up to the top of the ladder, pulls Max with him... JUMPING TOWARDS THE TABLE AND A SMALL POP UP....CATCHES FOR THE SITDOWN POWERBOMB! BLOODLINE'S WRATH THROUGH THE TABLE! 

 

Simon: Well, Red Ghost didn't get to use it, but it definitely turned the tide of this match. 

 

Kendra: Wolfgunblud is alone with his thoughts and the ladder! He could well take this right now!! He sets up the ladder and up he climbs! Someone better stop him soon, or this one is over! 

 

Jackson: He's taking a moment to catch his breath, but a moment is all it takes! Red Ghost with the crowbar to the back of Wolfgunblud! Red Ghost is finally gonna get his chance to do this!! Red Ghost making it up the coast!

 

 

Simon: WHAT A CHEAP SHOT BY JASSY!! AND BIANCA HAS JUST BEEN PAVED A CLEAR PATH...THAT'S GONNA DO IT!

 

Bianca Diaz wins!

 

 

Ash: Here is your winner... the BD Energy... BIANCA! DIAZ!

 

Kendra: That's how you support your teammate.

 

Bianca and Jassy raise their hands when - 

 

 

Simon: Bloodswan is here and she's ready to do this fight here and now! She gets hold of that spiked bat and she swings at Jassy, Jassy ducks and spits a damn FIREBALL into Bloodswan's eyes!! The medical team pulls her away and they're supposed to have a match later, but Bloodswan is gonna need to get cleared first! 

 

Kendra: She wants to join a circus, she's gonna be seeing a lot of fire.

Announcer: They may be soft but this plushy line goes HARD. Get your MAWL Stuffy Today!

 

 

Commotion. Jamie approaches a medical team and pushes in.

 

 

Jamie: "Oh my god! What happened to you?"

 

 

Bloodswan doesn't speak, and the doctors inform Jamie that it was from an attack from Jassy.

 

Jamie: "What the hell! The little bitch. Wait 'til I get my hands on her."

 

 

Colin walks into the frame, and Jamie feeling angered, wants a piece of Jassy.

 

Jamie: "Colin, look what they did to my friend!"

 

Colin: "I know, I'm sorry to see that. We can't have that happening."

 

Jamie: "Yeah like hell we can't have that happen. Give me Jassy right now! One on one. Big sis needs to teach little sis a lesson!"

 

Colin is about to respond, but Bianca Diaz walks into the room.

 

 

Bianca Diaz: "Hey I just over heard you talking about wanting to get your hands on Jassy. Well chica, I'm afraid that aint going to happen. You see, her next match she is scheduled to have IS against this one here (points at Bloodswan), and until that happens, she can't fight anyone else."

 

Bianca looks at Colin, who corfirms her words with a shrug.

 

Colin: Look I didn't know. Maybe you can take your frustrations out on someone else.

 

Colin looks at Bianca, and does a sneaky thumb pointing motion and Bianca. Bianca can clearly see what Colin is doing, and rolls her eyes. Jamie still heated, and waiting to take her anger out on someone responds.

 

Jamie: Oh yeah, I'll just have to take it out on this one, and give you an ass kicking.

 

Bianca responds, laughing.

 

Bianca: "You? pft haha. Okay chica. You're just a hussy, and if you want to feel what it's like to be pounded on by the baddest bitch, then be my guest."

 

Bianca starts to walk away with a smirk on her face, Colin grabs her arm.

 

Colin: You just won a shot at the title, didn't you?

 

Bianca: I don't like where THIS is going. Especially since I already beat her ass to get in that ladder match.

 

Colin: Let's make this interesting. If Jamie wins, she gets added to your title match at Holiday Hellscape.

 

Bianca: I don't agree.

 

Colin: And I'm not asking.

 

Bianca: You really are a spiteful little twink aren't you.

 

Bianca huffs off and then the camera pans back to Colin standing next to a furious Jamie.

 

 

Riri Tonu punches a bag increasingly hard and with increasing anger and intensity during this. As she sweats, the war paint starts to drip and form a more haunted look.

 

Riri (VO): People like to laugh and deride my name as childish and cutesy. What they don't know is that Riri Tōnu in Māori means "Still Angry."

 

And I am.

 

Still angry with fake witches who claim to be "of the Earth" when they sit in high rises that stand in the place of redwoods and crave the currency of their corpses.

 

Still angry with fake friends who try to cover your tears of rage with glitter and when that doesn't work wipe themselves clean of you altogether.

 

Still angry with a world that values expediency, status, and sees connections as mere rocks on a climbing wall rather than dots that together can form a picture.

 

Still ANGRY with myself for thinking that my mission would be shared by those who don't sit down long enough to read the statement.

Still ANGRY with those who see their culture as merely part of their wardrobe, to be traded on and off at a whim or when fashionable.

STILL ANGRY with my losses.

STILL ANGRY. RIRI TŌNU. IT IS NOT MY NAME. RIRI TŌNU. IT IS MY BEING. IT CONSUMES EVERY ELEMENT OF ME LIKE A FOREST FIRE AND I WILL USE IT TO BURN DOWN YOUR OFFICES, ZORA LUTHOR INTERNATIONAL. I WILL USE IT TO ENSURE THAT YOUR SANCTUMS ARE NO LONGER SAFE. I WILL USE IT TO RENDER UGLY YOUR APPEAL. RIRI TŌNU.

 

The bag releases much sand as it is clear that a hole has been punched in it. Riri looks directly at the camera.

 

Riri: Ka mura koe i roto i tōku riri

 

 

Voice Over: Wrestling only has One... DECK OF HEARTS.

 

 

"Run this Town" By Jay Z begins to play as Jen Teal walks out first, holding up the MAWL Trios Belts, struggling to keep a hold of all of the belts.

 

Followed by SM HeartBreaker is flanked by his 2nd in commands. Diana Dresden and Rebel Riott, who stand next to him.

 

Behind SM HeartBreaker is the tower of a man, Violence and the not so big Confetti.

 

As the six of them make there way to the ring, UV, betrayer of his tag team partner, Lazer, comes out behind them, making sure no one tries to jump them from behind. 

 

 

As the six enter the ring, Jen Teal drops the belts, before desperately scrambling to collect them, much to the annoyance of SM HeartBreaker. SM HeartBreaker clicks his fingers and sends Confetti over to help her.

 

Finally the six are standing, posing in the ring as SM HeartBreaker clicks his fingers again, signalling for UV to grab him a microphone, which he swiftly obliges by snatching a microphone from the ring announcer before handing it to SM HeartBreaker.

 

SM: Ladies and gentleman. I bet you have many many questions. Like who are these five standing beside SM HeartBreaker? Why are they standing beside SM HeartBreaker? What is this all about?! Well, allow me to answer all of your questions. Firstly by congratulating one person. Diana...

 

SM HeartBreaker's minions begin to applaud Diana Dresden.

 

SM: Now, for those of you wondering. What this has to do with Diana Dresden. Then allow me to explain. Diana Dresden was MAWL's first ever successful, SM HeartBreaker project. Gone away was her stupid, naive attitude. Gone was her dumb wrestling gimmick and name. Welcome to a new attitude, new name and new career projectory. You see, Diana Dresden was key to kicking off this new era. She was the first and the pioneer to this new era. Because Diana was the one that masterminded the acquisition of the MAWL Trios Championships.

 

Diana Dresden stands proudly next to Confetti and UV, who get alot of heat from the crowd for what they did at Graveyard Shift.

 

SM: Unlike Nero, You were actually a success. Which is why I offered you a spot in my new Deck of Hearts. Reshuffled with near hand picked members. What I will reveal is it was Diana that came up with the plan that was executed at Graveyard shift, bringing gold into this new version of an old classic stable. Now, since you three are the crown jewel of my Deck of Hearts. I want you three to go over to Jen Teal, who is holding YOUR MAWL Trios belts, and reclaim what you earned. Carry them with pride.

 

Confetti, excited to hold his belt again, runs over to Jen Teal and grabs a Trios belt. As UV and Diana walk over to Jen Teal, SM HeartBreaker signals for Violence to stop them.

 

SM: However, you did something very stupid. Didn't you Diana?

 

SM HeartBreaker walks in between Violence and Diana as he looks a confused Diana in the face.

 

SM: Tell me you realise the mistake you made at Graveyard shift, right? Oh dear, Diana. I want you to look at Confetti's little face when I tell you three to hand Jen back those belts because of what you did Diana!!

 

Diana is still confused as Violence forces Confetti to hand his Trios belt back to Jen Teal, who looks sad at taking the belt from him.

 

SM: Consider this a learning experience Diana. You did good at acquiring the trios belts BUT sacrificing the Signal Tag Team belts? Unacceptable. You lost gold for the Deck of Hearts and for that you have to be punished for such a stupid act.

 

SM HeartBreaker walks towards Jen Teal as he demands that she holds the belts up.

 

SM: As punishment, these belts will be the property of the entire Deck of Hearts. Not just you three. You three will defend them BUT it will be as part of the Deck of Hearts, not as individuals, as those belts belong to all six of us. No debate on the topic. Jen will keep a hold of them.

 

On Cue, Jen Teal drops the belts. SM HeartBreaker holds back on belittling her.

 

SM: Now that we have that piece of business sorted. Allow me to introduce you to each member of the Deck of Hearts. Diana, you guys will already know. Allow me to introduce you to UV...

 

BOOOOMania runs wild as SM HeartBreaker approaches UV. SM HeartBreaker smiles in delight.

 

SM: A name he once went by. What UV stands for? We simply do not know. What we do know is UV betrayed his tag team partner, which I can only describe as being...

 

SM HeartBreaker looks directly at a nearby camera.

 

SM: Utterly Vile.

 

PUNMania is running wild!

 

SM: And I absolutely love it! Like a protege after my own heart. UV showed what it takes to be a true heartbreaker. Betraying a tag team partner is one of the most heartbreaking moves that can happen.

 

Big shout out to SM's former Faces of Discord Tag Team Partner!

 

SM: So allow me to rechristen you with a name more fitting for you. Utterly Vile.

 

 

BOOOOMania as the newly named Utterly Vile, grins. A horrible, cocky grin.

 

SM: On to the third member of the successful trio. Confetti. Now, if there is one thing I liked about Confetti it was...

 

As SM HeartBreaker turns around to address the crowd on what he likes about Confetti. Confetti pulls out a confetti cannon and shoots it in the air, much to the annoyance of SM HeartBreaker, who stops mid-sentence and shakes his head as confetti reigns down on him.

 

SM: It was the fact he drove a championship into the back of the skulls of his opponents.

 

SM HeartBreaker swiftly turns around, angry at Confetti.

 

SM: Unfortunately, Confetti is stuck with a stupid gimmick and name so allow me to cure you from this stupid, impulsive comedy act and rechrist you as...

 

Confetti looks up in the sky as the confetti continues to reign down on him before being shocked by what SM HeartBreaker says.

 

SM: CON. Capital C. Capital O. Capital N. CON

 

 

CON is sad at his new name.

 

SM: Speaking of Violence. Allow me to introduce this towering mountain beside me. His name is Violence. He doesn't say much. but I can do the talking for the both of us. Violence's job is to do some of the heavy lifting and deal with any threats to the Deck of Hearts. Isn't that right big guy?

 

Violence: ...

 

SM: But Violence was a reject from Aztec Pro. He was lost in the void until now. So allow me to rechristen you from Violence to...

 

SM HeartBreaker pauses for dramatic effect.

 

SM: Violent!

 

 

BOOOOMania runs wild as the crowd hate SM HeartBreaker’s lazy name change.

 

We Want Violence!

 

SM: No! His name is Violent!

 

We Want Violence!

 

SM: Whatever and finally to our final handpicked member of the group.

 

Jen Teal drops the championship belts again in confusion. As SM HeartBreaker walks up to Rebel Riott

 

SM: Rebel or is it? You have been repackaged and forgotten so many times, I just don’t remember. it is clear no one has ever had the same vision for you like I have. So allow me to rechristen you to a name that will turn you into a main eventer! The best female wrestler.

 

Diana Dresden will remember that.

 

SM: Rox Starr!

 

 

SM HeartBreaker forces everyone in the ring to applaud Rox Starr. Diana Dresden does not applaud.

 

SM: Those are all 5 handpicked members of the Deck of Hearts. As you may notice. There is a 6th person, besides myself in the ring. Allow me to address this bumbling idiot.

 

SM HeartBreaker approaches Jen Teal, who is still picking up the Championship belts.

 

SM: Jen. Was never my first choice to join Deck of Hearts. In fact, I didn’t particularly want her in the same. But Diana convinced me that we still need someone in the group and I thought, what the hell, someone has to carry around my championships, right? So here is Jen. Jen Teal. Who will not be given a new name and will absolutely not be allowed to wear BLUE!

 

SM HeartBreaker rips the ribbon off of Jen Teal’s head.

 

 

EM He and her band of baddies step on the stage with a microphone

 

EM: Aw, look at the matching sweatsuits. How very Family Reunion Picnic. But your new family, much like your old family, is a sloppy, slovenly dysfunctional mess.

 

Let me just correct on you a little detail that you may have glossed over, SM. You see, YOU didn't lose any titles. Diana didn't screw YOU because the Signal Titles weren't yours to begin with. The titles BELONGED to EM Powered. And look what she did to my beautiful Xiva in that betrayal.

 

 

Xiva comes out holding an Icepack to her head glowering

 

EM: Look at this beautiful flower, wilted and jilted. Now unlike you, SM, I actually CARE what happens to my people. I don't just see them as ways for me to get gold. The only reason, SM, you should be mad at Diana is because NOW you're all in our sights holding our gold. And that she's not in any way trustworthy, but that's everyone in your little den of thieves isn't it.

 

You're clearly new to this whole running a group thing, but a little lesson for free. Matching sweatsuits doesn't mean matching goals. You should probably check in and actually talk to them not for them to make sure you're all on the same page. Like for example, WHY she struck a deal with the Blondes.

 

Diana: I can explain that right now. See, the Blondes promised me that I'd get first crack with whoever I wanted, and SM, baby that's you.

 

The crowd chants "FULL OF SHIT"

 

Diana: I am NOT! They'll come out here and back me up. Right, fellas?

 

 

Holding Out for a Hero starts to play, but no one shows. The music eventually stops. Diana starts to sweat.

 

Diana: RIGHT, fellas?

 

 

The music starts again, and then cuts out with no sign of em.

 

EM: Well now. This is real awkward for you. You know what, SM, you can have the spoiled goods. But we'll be taking our trios title shot now, so-

 

 

Colin: See now, Elisa Mae, the thing about that is... no.

 

 

Kendra: There's still some snap left in that Ginger!

 

 

Simon: Kind of a weird way to say that.

 

Kendra: What was weird about it?

 

EM: EXCUSE ME?

 

Colin: No. It's a complete sentence. You can't be that confused by it, I'm sure many men have told you it.

 

 

Jackson: He's much more comfortable in his skin for sure.

 

EM He: You can't be serious.

 

Colin: I am. Miu and Dark Sails are ahead of you, they won the right to this match. Do I approve of how they won that shot? No. Do I approve of how this group won the Trios Belt? No. Do I just grant you a title shot because you're mad that both teams were more effective in your tactics than you were? No. Back of the line, He, just like everyone else.

 

EM He: So glad you finally grew a spine. Now you can feel what it's like when it's broken.

 

EM and her group turn and head back. SM and his crew mockingly wave them away. Colin turns to SM.

 

Colin: Now before you get all gloaty, SM, I was not lying when I said I don't approve of how you won your titles, and since you felt it in your power to decide that those belts are a shared commodity, I made a rash decision of my own. Deck of Hearts will not get Champions' Advantage for the Trios Belts.

 

Jackson: HOLY COW!

 

SM and his team are flabbergasted.

 

Colin: And that ain't just for today, Chief. It IS just for the Trios Belts, but it's a sticking rule for the remainder of this reign. So I suggest you pick whatever three are going to defend those belts before the bell rings, because the match ain't No-DQ. And do it soon, because Miu and Dark Sails will be out here any minute. 

 

Kendra: That's a hell of a Power Play by Colin, he's flexing all his muscles tonight. 

 

Deck of Hearts argue amongst themselves. Colin starts to leave, but he turns around with a smile.

 

Colin: Oh and SM? Hope you brought your wrestling trunks and the belt.

 

Colin leaves, with DOH looking at each other in some degree of shock.

 

Jackson: So a title defense? I thought his first title defense would be against Nero, but Nero is in a c-

 

 

Ash: The following is the Trios Title and it is scheduled for One Fall!

 

Crowd: ONE FALL!

 

 

The lights flash on and off like a storm is coming. At the first "SAIL!" Dark Sails enter, doing Dark Sailor Poses on the entrance.

 

 

Behind them Miu walks onto stage and in between them.

 

 

Ash: First! Representing Goddesses of Stardom, Miu, and Miyuu Sakai and Mew Azama, Dark Sails! 

 

They place their hands under their chins and smile scornfully, then saunter to the ring. 

 

Ash: And the Champions! Representing Deck of Hearts-CON, Utterly Vile, and-

 

SM holds his hand up to stop Ash, then calls Diana Dresden off the apron with Rox Starr taking her place!!

 

 

Ash: -and Rox Starr!

 

The bell rings as Rox and Miu start the match. 

 

Kendra: Not only did Rox takes Diana's place, she's starting the match! What a kick in the face to Diana. And now a kick in the face to Miu! Rox with a second kick, and a big knee! Ripcord, and a knee to the midsection!! Irish Whip into her corner, tag in to CON, CON pulls at Miu's head, bends her neck over the rope!

 

 

Carter: One! Two! Three! F-

 

Jackson: CON jumps over with a Blockbuster! He realized almost too late that he would not be able to just get the DQ and keep the belt under Colin's decree. Getting Miu up on his shoulders, and down into a Gutbuster! Miu trying to crawl to the corner, CON gets her by the legs and Wheelbarrow German Suplex!

 

Simon: Miu trying to roll back, CON gets her by the hand, and whip back to the corner, Utterly Vile gets her hair and smashing her head into the turnbuckle! CON boots her head and tag into Utterly Vile, they each take an arm and run her into the turnbuckle again, rolling her into a German Suplex and going for the pin but she rolls away and tag into Sakai! 

 

Kendra: Sakai blasting him with chops, and a quick spin kick to knock him backwards! She keeps spinning for a second kick and Vile is rolled! Sakai runs at him with a slide kick taking him to the outside! Azama and Watanabe descend on him for an outside beatdown!

 

Carter: ONE! TWO! 

 

Jackson: They're well aware that they can win the title by keeping Vile out, and they're truly stomping him down!

 

Carter: THREE! FOUR!

 

Simon: Maki's not even out here because she knew her involvement could ruin it for the team, but only CON and Starr can do something to help right now! Any other member getting involved would rule this a disqualification.

 

Carter: FIVE! SIX!

 

Kendra: CON off the apron and a Diving Axe Handle takes Watanabe off Vile! Vile elbows Azama in the ribs! 

 

Carter: SEVEN!

 

Jackson: Vile back in the ring, Sakai goes for the boot and Vile rolls under it! Atomic Drop and he's just holding her split-legged on his lap!! I guess this is a submission?

 

Simon: She gets him with a jawbreaker, Azama back on the apron and Sakai tags in. Azama with a cartwheel and a kangaroo kick pushes Vile backwards, Front Flip and Clothesline knocks him down! Vile going for the tag, Azama locking him into a Crossface! Vile is in trouble!! 

 

Kendra: Rox reaches deep into the ring for the tag, Vile is going to need this and she gets it!! Rox up to the top and she's looking to Curb Stomp Azama... coming down AZAMA MOVES! WHAT A MESS! STOMP RIGHT TO THE GUT OF VILE AND AZAMA WITH THE MAGISTRAL ROLL!! 

 

Carter: ONE! TWO! T-

 

Simon: Rox Starr barely kicks up, catching her breath, a smug look on Diana's face ringside but she's refusing to get involved.

 

Jackson: That's not being a supportive teammate. That's ego.

 

Kendra: Azama tags back into Sakai, double boot to Starr, Azama holding Starr's legs down and a running leg drop by Sakai, who stays down for the pin-

 

Carter: ONE! TW-

 

Simon: Starr's foot on the ropes, Diana has her hands up as Carter looks, Jen Teal trying to take the opportunity to take Sakai out with a Trios belt but Azama sends her flying right into Diana!! Diana eats the title right to the face!! When you're only one suit, you're not playing with a full deck, and SM's team is imploding upon itself. Rox laughing at Diana, Sakai looking to roll her up but Carter still attending to the mess outside, SM in and knuckles to Sakai! Knuckles to Azama! ...Digs the knuckles into Rox's head? Knuckles...himself? What's he playing at? Tosses them at Miu and Miu instinctively catches them, Carter turns around and sees the chaos around him and he calls for the bell!!

 

A hush falls over the crowd.

 

Ash: After discussion with the referee, Miu and Dark Sails have been disqualified!!

 

Jackson: Wait... what??

 

Deck of Hearts win by Disqualification!

 

 

Ash: Your winners... and STILL Trios Champions... Deck of Hearts!

 

Jackson: What a travesty of a match!

 

Kendra: They may have left with the titles and the Paper W, but make no mistake, this was not a win for Deck of Hearts. It was a save by SM, and I'd bet you dollars to donuts that he's gonna let them know that in no uncertain terms.

 

Simon: What do you honestly expect when you build your team by taking the lesser half of a farm tag team, the lesser half of a midcard tag team, and a woman whose early claim to fame here was a middling performance in a battle royal of which the only impact was a buyout of the once Rebel Rell. 

 

Jackson: And with this, we go to our next match which will hopefully give us more to be excited about.

 

 

Ash: The following contest is a Falls Count Anywhere Match, and the winner will challenge for the Infernal Crown at Holiday Hellscape!

 

 

The crowd pops loud as the song kicks in and the lightning coalesces towards the entrance way, where Pinoy Power Surge raises her arms and looks up almost as if being recharged, lightning forming behind her.

 

 

Ash: First! From Sagada, Philippines, PINOOOOOY POWER SURGE!

 

Pinoy Power Surge charges towards the ramp, jumps the apron and springs between the middle and top rope before entering the ring. 

 

Jackson: There is a ton of trust in this woman to be one of the next big things here in MAWL, and nowhere is that more evident than right now, where she may be given a hyperboost to the top of the mountain with that Infernal Crown Championship.

 

Kendra: No shade to Pinoy, but we know what this is really about. She's been raising a stink backstage trying to convince everyone she was in a match she wasn't, and that the man about to enter through those doors doesn't deserve his briefcase despite us all seeing his clear victories in his hometown of Bucharest. Leila gave her this match to satiate her.

 

Simon: And low key to hope he injures her out of the fed.

 

Jackson: Do we know that?

 

Simon: She's not really a fighter made for a Falls Count Anywhere brutality fest. Again, no shade to Pinoy but she's going to be eaten alive in this match.

 

The arena lights die without warning, the crowd’s roar collapsing into uneasy silence. The titantron glitches violently before locking in on one chilling message:

“Name Display: Devilishly Great.”

 

 

A wave of boos and nervous anticipation rolls through the arena.

 

The darkness lingers… then a blinding flash cuts through the void. There he stands.

Devilishly Great.

 

 

Unbothered. Unrushed. Smirking like he owns the building — because in his mind, he does.

 

Ash: And her opponent! From Bucharest, Romania, weighing 251 pounds, DEVILISHLY GREAT ROBERTOS MICHAEL!!

 

He strides toward the ring with cold confidence, soaking in the hatred like fuel. Every step deliberate. Every glance dripping with arrogance.

 

At his side, a smoking hot diva moves with dangerous elegance, fully aware of the chaos she causes. She doesn’t just turn heads — she owns them. Together, they’re not here to be loved. They’re here to be obsessed over and resented.

 

As Devilishly Great steps between the ropes, the lights stutter again. He climbs the turnbuckle slowly, deliberately, throwing out a series of show-stopping poses — not for the fans… but to mock them. To remind them that no matter how loud they boo, they are powerless to look away.

 

The message is clear:

You don’t cheer Devilishly Great.

You endure him. 

 

The bell rings!

 

Kendra: He goes right for a Superkick, Pinoy slides under it, back around and spinning wheel kick! Robertos staggers a bit, Pinoy goes for a continuing of the run, backflip, jumps over Michael's swinging punch, tilt-a-whirl headscissors!

 

Jackson: Back to his feet, going for a German suplex and she flips back onto her feet! Standing dropkick pushes him back, he can't seem to stick a landing here, taking a different tack and just as she gets on her feet he gets his hands around her waist, back body drop to the outside! THAT one landed.

 

Simon: Slides under the rope, smart to take the low road out, snap Inverted Suplex to Pinoy! She rolls to her feet, but he's waiting for her and a Fisherman DDT! Trying to stay on her, and locks in that Crucifix armbar. 

 

Kendra: It was a bit of an unusual start for Michael, it looks like he tried to play in Pinoy's world and match quickness but was losing his signature precision in the process. Now he's taken it into a world in which he's more comfortable, and you can see the difference and the recalibration. That Crucifix armbar seems to putting a sizeable amount of pressure on Pinoy as Robertos wrenches the hold, and there's no rope break out here to give her escape. 

 

Jackson: Pinoy trying to wiggle her way out of it, and ultimately successful though it looks like it was not without cost. Pinoy trying to shake it off, goes for a standing dropkick and Robertos swats her away! Pulling her back up, and a Cobra Clutch Suplex! Going for the pin-

 

 

Classic Jenny: ONE! T-

 

Simon: Roll out by Pinoy, jumps up for a headscissors and flips Michael over! Michael a little bruised but back to his feet, and taking a moment to plan, he steps over now to the other side of the steps, Pinoy chases after him, using the steps to spring up into a Rocket Kick and he spikes her right down onto it!

 

Kendra: She just fell right into his trap!

 

Jackson: High flyers don't think about the odds because they're convinced they'll overcome them. This one might be a little hard to overcome. Robertos stomping her out on the steps, scoops her up and Reverse Suplex!!

 

Kendra: The steps hurt for two reasons. One, the metal. Two, the unevenness that allows more of your body to feel like a Picasso or Dali painting. 

 

Simon: You're not wrong there. And Pinoy is gonna need to figure something out if she wants to walk out of this, let alone win. Michael looking like he's gonna try for a stomp... no! He goes for her feet and starts to drag her off the steps, I guess he was concerned about her rolling away and airballing but she kicks his knees to the back of his legs and he faceplants on the steel!!

 

Jackson: Pinoy back to her feet, up to the apron, back-jump leg drop! She sandwiches Michael's head into the steps!! Trying for a La Magistral roll-up-

 

Classic Jenny: ONE!

 

Kendra: Michael kicks out and immediately tries to grab her legs, I think he might be going for a Figure Four! She's flailing as he puts it in, right arm sweeping under the apron OH she pulls out a wrench! She smashes Robertos in the leg with a wrench and he lets go of the hold!

 

Jackson: Starting to see those hardcore elements kick in a bit more, I didn't think Pinoy would be the one of these two to introduce it first, but stranger things I guess.

 

Simon: She takes him at the knees with that wrench, and clonks him on the head with it! Going for the pin-

 

Classic Jenny: ONE! TWO! 

 

Kendra: He kicks again! She rolls away to protect her legs and whips the wrench at his face. Running single leg dropkick right in the wrench mark!! She mounts him and punching, keeping her target in that same spot, he loads back and a headbutt! Another, and she's off! He grabs her weak arm, arm wringer flip back onto the stairs, and he's got in a Fujiwara Armbar! 

 

Jackson: She's definitely flailing and hurting, and she's not good at hiding it. 

 

Simon: She may have dislocated her arm but she flipkicks up and to the side of Michael's head... trying to shake off the arm but it's not going her way, Michael dislodges that step!! He smashes it into her face! Oh...oh, what is he doing? He's got that arm of hers on the step, HE SANDWICHES IT BETWEEN THE TWO STEPS!! TERRIBLE!!!

 

Jackson: I wonder if this means... yep, he's got the Devil's Deal Locked in!!! She is done for!!! There's the tap!!!

 

Robertos Michael wins by Submission!

 

 

Ash: Here is your winner... DEVILISHLY GREAT ROBERTOS MICHAEL!!!

 

For a split second, the arena is frozen — then the boos detonate like thunder.

 

Devilishly Great doesn’t celebrate immediately.

He stands over the fallen opponent, chest rising slowly, staring down at them with cold amusement. Like the outcome was never in doubt. Like this was always beneath him.

 

He crouches beside them, whispers something unheard — but cruel enough to make the crowd react anyway.

 

The camera zooms in.

He smirks.

 

His theme finally hits.

 

He rises slowly, arms spreading wide, soaking in the hatred like applause. The lights dim again, pulsing around him as if the arena itself is forced to acknowledge dominance.

 

The diva slides into the ring with lethal elegance, applauding him slowly, deliberately. She circles him like a crown being placed on a king who knows he deserves it. She lifts his arm, but not for the referee — for the world.

 

Devilishly Great steps over the opponent’s body without even looking down.

 

Disrespectful.

Effortless.

Intentional.

 

He climbs the turnbuckle and delivers one final, theatrical pose — head tilted, grin sharp, eyes locked on the camera. A message sent to everyone watching at home:

 

“You didn’t witness a victory.

You witnessed inevitability.”

 

As they walk up the ramp together, he doesn’t look back at the ring. A medical crew comes to take a look at Pinoy and bring her to the back, helping her nurse her arm.

 

Kendra: This man just ensured himself a title match at Holiday Hellscape, and quite possibly will end the year the top dog here in MAWL. Simon, what can you tell us about Holiday Hellscape?

 

Simon: Holiday Hellscape is an event where none of the matches have disqualifications, everything includes a Falls Count Anywhere stipulation unless there is a specific win condition... it's ending the year with absolute chaos and no one involved remains on the nice list. 

 

Jackson: And this year we're going to be in Germany so there's some extra Krampus fun coming your way. But we're still a ways away from any of that happening, as our night here continues. What's next on the docket?

 

Kendra: We've got our first rivalry tag match. Off the first commercial break you heard Riri Tōnu call out Asesinato S.A. and now she and a tag partner of her choice are going to get their hands on them. 

 

Ash: The following tag team contest is scheduled for one fall!

 

Crowd: ONE FALL!

 

 

🕯️ [Music Begins—An Ethereal Chant Mixed with Thundering Drums] 🕯️

 

The air thickens. Aja moves forward, slow and deliberate, each step echoing ominously as her steel-loaded Zombie Boot hits the ground with unnatural force. She wears a long, tattered cloak—deep crimson against the black void around her—drifting behind her like living shadow. Beneath it, the pentagram-emblazoned shirt glows faintly under the dim lighting, its presence a sinister omen.

 

🔥 [With a Sudden Stop, She Lifts a Hand, Fingers Curved Like Talons] 🔥

 

The lights flicker violently—momentary flashes reveal glimpses of eerie symbols carved into the entrance ramp. Then, with an abrupt, thunderous stomp, Aja slams her Zombie Boot to the ground—the weight shifting within, loading her next strike. The shake brings Rica Muerte up from the under the stage.

 

 

👁️ [Aja's Voice, Low and Haunting, Breaks Through the Silence] 👁️

"You cannot fight fate…"

 

Ash: FIRST! Representing Zora Luthor International, the Witch, AJA LIONESS! RICA MUERTE! ASENINATO S.A.!

 

[Final Steps to the Ring—She Removes Her Cloak, Tossing It Aside]

Her towering 6’2” frame commands the space as she climbs the ropes, surveying the audience with an unreadable expression beneath the eerie glow. As she steps into the ring, she methodically draws a line across her throat with two fingers—a silent promise of destruction.

⏳ The Witch Has Arrived. The Ritual Begins. ⏳

 

Simon: It's unclear yet who Riri's partner will be in all this.

 

 

The lights go green as the yelping and drums lead to Riri, in new gear, doing a Haka on the stage.

 

 

Suddenly, she is joined onstage by...

 

 

Jackson: TIKI IS HERE AND SHE'S GOT RIRI'S BACK!

 

Tiki joins her in the Haka. When the big thumps of the bass drum kick in, they stomp and fireworks go off. 

 

The guitars start to kick in and they each go to an edge of the stage to get the audience pumped, with stomps and fireworks matching the big thumps of the bass drum. Steven yells "YEEEEEEEAH" and they begin to run down the ramp.

 

Ash: And their opponents! RIRI TŌNU AND TIKI CHAMORRO!!

 

 

Tiki and Riri charge the ring and hit a stereo Thesz Press on Aja and Rica!

 

Simon: They haven't forgotten the Fatal Four Corners that led to the creation of Asesinato S.A., both Riri and Tiki were screwed by their partners in efforts to curry favor with Aja. But now this alliance feels more natural than either RIri and Fiesta or Tiki and Randi. Tiki and Riri launch Aja out of the ring and Riri is going to start against Rica.

 

The bell rings!

 

Kendra: Riri turns around right into Rica's boot! Riri rolling back, and Rica comes right in her with stomps, pushing her back in the corner and choking her out!

 

 

Lisa: One! Two! Three! F-

 

Kendra: Rica releases the choke, throws her hands up and right back on it!

 

Lisa: One! Two! T-

 

Simon: Releasing again, and pulls Riri out to a Belly to Belly! Rica with an elbow drop to her throat, and a headlock. Riri trying to get to a rope...Rica locks it in tighter and pulls her away! Riri swings her elbow to push Rica away, Irish Whip and catches her into a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker. Tag in to Tiki, Tiki taking a run and body splash!

 

Jackson: Riri could have chosen to keep getting her vengeance, but she's playing it smart here, to the middle rope and diving headbutt, going for a quick pin -

 

Lisa: ONE!

 

Kendra: Shoulder up, Aja reaching out to tag, Rica reaching out to tag and Tiki pulls her back with a German Suplex! Rica tumbles back, hits Tiki with an arm drag, Tiki gets her back with one, whipping Rica into the corner, taking the run for the Tiki Bomb and Rica rolls out of the corner, Tiki meets buckle! Tag into Aja, Aja loads up that boot oh but Riri from behind with a Chop Block!! Riri puts her arms up and Tiki takes a run... jumps into Riri's arms and guided into a splash! Cover-

 

Lisa: ONE!

 

Simon: Aja kicks, and she's got Tiki by the head, elbows to her back, and a DDT. Aja locks in a Camel Clutch, Riri gets her with a Hidden Blade! To her feet...Rica gets her with a springboard dropkick!! Rica and Riri exchanging punches and they roll to the outside, Aja and Tiki are gonna need to handle this on their own as Rica whips Riri into the steps! 

 

Jackson: Spinebuster by Aja and a cover-

 

Lisa: ONE! T-

 

Jackson: Shoulder up by Tiki, Aja pulls that shoulder into a Fujiwara Armbar, Tiki with a flip away and huracanrana! Aja rolled back, oh but that's the opening she needs ZOMBIE RAISING CONNECTS!

 

Lisa: ONE! TWO! THREE!

 

Aja Lioness and Rica Muerte win by Pinfall!

 

 

Ash: HERE ARE YOUR WINNERS, AJA LIONESS AND RICA MUERTE! ASESINATO S.A.! 

 

Kendra: Rica and Riri are battling to the back! Riri throws Rica into the barricade, Rica guillotines Riri on it, and into the crowd they go! And Aja leaves Tiki a card as she exits the ring. 

 

Tiki gets up and sees the card on her. She flicks it between her fingers as she exits the ring, taking an intermittent moment to look at it. 

 

As she leaves Sombras and Superstar Davy Boy are already battling through the crowd!!

 

 

The two brawls pass each other, looking at each other briefly (a la the Umbrella Academy meme), and Superstar Davy Boy clotheslines Sombras over the barricade! They roll into the ring.

 

The bell rings!

 

Simon: The match is officially underway, Superstar Davy Boy just going to TOWN on the face of Sombras, with fists and now with ax hammers! Davy is unloading all of his frustrations on Sombras. 

 

Kendra: What frustrations? He's the Legacy Champ and won't have to defend that until W2. Whatever happens now, he's the Golden Boy. 

 

Jackson: Fist drop, and Sombras isn't there to take it! Davy hits the mat and Sombras from behind... Wheelbarrow German Suplex! Spring Moonsault, he comes back around, slide kick to the face of Davy. Picking him up by the head - NO DAVY PUSHES HIM BACK, sends him off the rope, catches him and a Spinebuster! Keeping the legs in hand, and we're going Swinging! Sending Sombras to the turnbuckle, I think that may have been a tactical error. 

 

Simon: Sombras launching himself from a rope 90 degrees from where he landed and catches Davy Boy with a dropkick! Going for a pin-

 

Lisa: ONE!

 

Kendra: Davy kicks, scoops up Sombras and powerslam! Scoop slam! Davy Boy going to the turnbuckle, going for the LA Pop OH NO! SOMBRAS MOVES OUT OF THE WAY! SOMBRAS ROLLS HIM UP!

 

Lisa: ONE! TW-

 

Jackson: Davy kicks out! Snap suplex to Sombras, and a Crossface locked in, Sombras trying to get to the ropes, and he's successful! Superstar Davy breaks the hold, Sombras kicks back, and chops to Superstar Davy Boy, mid kicks, springboard and Cutter!! Phantom Embrace!!

 

Lisa: ONE! TWO! THREE!

 

Sombras wins by Pinfall!

 

 

Ash: Here is your winner, SOMBRAS!

 

Simon: Sombras takes control back of La Sangre Maldita and he can officially reform it back in his image.

 

Jackson: And now the revenge train continues.

 

 

Ash: The following contest is scheduled for One Fall!

 

Crowd: ONE FALL!

 

 

Lustress Jamie enters the arena, full of confidence and determination.

 

 

Ash: First! From the Gladiator Gambit Lab, representing Psycho Supremacy 2.0, LUSTRESS JAMIE HARRISON! 

 

Lustress Jamie snaps herself into the ring. 

 

Simon: Jamie is all business right now.

 

 

The music hits hard as Bianca storms out, pounding her chest and mouthing off to fans. 

 

 

Ash: And her opponent! Representing Sex Appeal and Zora Luthor International, from Miami, Florida, THE BD ENERGY! BIANCA! DIAZ!

 

She comes down the ramp carrying herself full of, well, BDE. Shoulders puffed out, threatening to fight random people in the crowd, and she slams her hands on the apron before jumping on.

 

The bell rings!

 

Simon: Bianca straight in and smashing her fist into Jamie's face, repeatedly and with increasing speed. Irish Whip to Jamie and devastating STO. Bianca with her foot on the neck of Jamie, she's looking to put the real hurting on Jamie, beyond just victory and going to crippling her.

 

Classic Jenny: ONE! TWO! THREE! FO-

 

Kendra: Bianca lets up and gets in Jenny's face, Jamie whips her into the turnbuckle post! Grabs her legs and kick to the gut. Pulling her back out and Electric Chair.... Driver! Going for the pin-

 

Classic Jenny: ONE! TWO!

 

Jackson: Bianca rolls out of it, back elbow to the face of Jamie and a jawbreaker. Bianca taking her by the arm and locking an armbar in, NO Jamie spins herself around and clocks Bianca with a lariat! Getting her up on her shoulders and a brutal Samoan Drop!

 

Simon: She may dress herself up in hearts but she knows how to break bodies. Lifting Bianca up for a Spinebuster, Bianca pokes the eyes! Those acrylics just get in there with a quickness!

 

Kendra: Snap DDT by Bianca, and pulling Jamie up by the hair, she wants to get this one done and dusted, going for the BDE JAMIE LIFTS HER UP AND SAYS NO WAY COMPADRE! SIDEWALK SLAM! UP TO THE MIDDLE TURNBUCKLE, BOUNCING UP TO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE, PRETTIEST MOONSAULT EVER! Going for the pin-

 

Classic Jenny: ONE! 

 

Jackson: Shoulder up by Bianca and Bianca grabs Jamie's arm, pulling her into a Fujiwara Armbar, she's really focused on taking those arms out.

 

Kendra: Jamie's been using a lot of power moves. If she weakens the arms, she weakens the grip. It's a smart play. 

 

Simon: Jamie makes it to the rope, Jenny getting in Bianca's face and warning her, Bianca lets go, kick to Jamie's midsection! Getting her into that Fisherman hold, I think she's looking to say Buenos Diaz, lifting her up and we're going spinning JAMIE COMES DOWN WITH THE NECKBREAKER! THE SHEER PRESENCE OF MIND TO DO THAT! 

 

Jackson: Jamie off the ropes, and a Flipping Leg Drop! Jamie to her feet, she's... she's sticking her foot in Bianca's Mouth! What the hell is this move??

 

Kendra: It's like a form of Mandible Claw, and now she's sitting down on Bianca criss-cross applesauce! What an interesting submission hold! And I guess it's okay for ones leg to be around her neck, although it wasn't for a foot. Interesting that. 

 

Simon: The flexibility of Jamie to pull this off is truly magnificent, Kama Sutra has done her a world of good, and Bianca's gagging, trying to hold on for dear life, and she can't do it! Bianca's gonna tap!!

 

Lustress Jamie wins by Submission!

 

 

Ash: Here is your winner, LUSTRESS JAMIE HARRISON!!

 

Kendra: JAMIE IS REFUSING TO BREAK THE HOLD!! I THINK YOU CAN SEE TEARS STARTING TO WELL IN BIANCA'S EYES! OH I'M SURE COLIN IS LOVING THIS!

 

Simon: She's trying to draw out Li'l Sis, Bianca was just a consolation prize but now she's bait! 

 

 

Jackson: Bait's been drawn! Jassy running out to relieve her friend- 

 

 

Simon: BLOODSWAN TACKLES JASSY INTO THE STEPS! TRAP SPRUNG!

 

Kendra: By the look on Jamie's face, I actually think she wasn't expecting that either. But it's happenin' now, and I guess this means we're on to our Unsanctioned Match.

 

 

Jackson: Jamie finally lets go and Bianca is gagging and wretching, I don't think she's gonna be of any use to Jassy right now. And Bloodswan has given up any semblance of decorum for clownish brutality, she's stomping the face of Jassy against that step!

 

Kendra: I don't think we've ever seen Sex Appeal this upended, the last time Jassy was in this much disarray it was being at the other end of ZLI's aggression. Bloodswan hits a huracanrana slamming Jassy against those steps! She's just getting absolutely ragdolled! 

 

Simon: Jassy struggling to her feet, Shining Wizard by Swan just takes her right back down! Jassy reaching under the apron for something, oh she is starting to realize that this ain't a video game and there's not always easily accessible weaponry and Swan pulling her out and Wheelbarrow Facebuster!

 

Kendra: To be fair to Jassy this is I think the first time I think I've seen someone come up empty when they try that. This is just kind of a bad day for her, and it's getting worse. 

 

 

Kendra: OH! Here comes Iris from the crowd to help her leader o-

 

 

Jackson: AIKO PULLS HER BACK INTO THE CROWD AND SHE IS GOING HAM ON HER! IRIS WON'T BE OF ANY ANY HELP HERE!

 

 

Kendra: Daria's here! Sex Appeal is really trying to turn the tide here and give Jassy some chance to breathe, Daria charging down the ramp-

 

 

Simon: Steve tackles his cousin! He's neutralizing the threat! Wait, the monitor is coming on, this is chaos-

 

 

Jackson: Riri has the stacked chair dolly that was under the ring!

 

Kendra: Everyone's conspired against Jassy!!

 

Simon: It's called a comeuppance, and Bloodswan is prepared for no chair, she has a taser! Jassy eats a shock!! Rolling her into the ring-

 

Classic Jenny: ONE! TWO! THREE!

 

Bloodswan wins!

 

 

Ash: Here is your winner, BLOODSWAN!

 

Kendra: This did not go AT ALL how Jassy wanted. She didn't get to really have her final one-on-one match with Bloodswan thanks to all this chaos, she didn't even get to land a punch, she's not going to get Bloodswan to join her or even stay here in MAWL. This day went from looking like it would go her way to a total collapse and she's clearly seething as she's going to be left to pick up the pieces. 

 

Jackson: Iris and Daria are able to break away from their relative brawls now and help Jassy out of the ring. Steve, Aiko, and Jamie converge on the ring and raise Bloodswan's hands in victory. What a moment.

 

Aiko, Bloodswan, and Jamie leave the ring. Steve stays, and grabs a microphone.

 

Steve: Bloodswan everyone.

 

The crowd stands in applause as Bloodswan goes up the ramp. Steve respectfully waits for the crowd to die down and gives Bloodswan her moment. Bloodswan pauses on the stage to bow as the crowd roars in applause, then exits.

 

Steve: Now, let's get to it. JOHANNESBURG!!!

 

The crowd pops

 

Steve: I gotta be so so real with you. I woke up today in total disbelief.

 

Physio Joker is apparently not entirely past his prime!

 

He can still carry a title! Give it up for him! I didn’t know he’d be able to do that even physically let alone metaphorically. I didn’t think his shoulders were strong enough. They’re certainly not strong enough to carry a federation, or a tag team. So hey, good for you bub!

 

Steve you’re playing with fire

 

Steve: I mean you look like one of those skeletons from that Argonauts movie with their shield, or like one of the Rolling Stones on tour now. But you’re doing it. You’re really doing it.

 

And honestly I am grateful for the chance to finally put your old bones to bed. I don’t doubt that I didn’t earn this shot, and that it’s only happening because of our shared history, but that’s fine. I know that you probably thought this would be you and Sassy Molassy Hipbreaker, just two geriatric Fogies hitting each other with canes, but you got me instead. And that’s fine. I’d been wanting some one on one time with you since our locker room chat, and this might be the only chance of doing it without an orderly giving a mean side-eye. And isn’t that what Thanksgiving is all about, airing your grievances with your older relatives and eventual fisticuffs?

 

So come on Joker, pop whatever generic viagra is gonna keep your bones upright and come out here so we can settle this once and for all.

 

 

Ava Marie begins playing as out walks Physio Joker in a black and gold suit.. the Inferno championship folded and in Joker’s left hand and a microphone in his right hand he stands on the entrance stage as the crowd boos loudly… Joker lets off a smirk.

 

 

Physio Joker: “Steve… I see like always you think you’re so clever with the puns and punchlines…”

 

Joker frowns a bit as he slowly walks down the ramp.

 

Physio Joker: “You see Steven… you talk about me being a shell of myself… but clearly this championship not only shows that I’m still good… but that I still am a threat everywhere that I go… Steve your right I did personally request so I can keep that promise that I made to you if you got in my way back in London… and you did…”

 

Joker smiles again as he stops in front of the ring looking at Steve.

 

Physio Joker: “Steve after I beat you… I’m going to not only prove to all these worthless fans that I am the best champion here… I’m going to show that man who’s sitting at the top of the mountain who think that he’s the greatest champion ever that, the devil is still here and that I will be the greatest champion ever… you haven’t done research on me… so let me give you a bit of a quick history lesson, at the first fed that I joined I waited my turn like a good guy should then I got my chance and after I took it I never looked back, I am a three time tag team champion and every team that I ever put together I ran and I made us dominate… actually.”

 

Joker puts the microphone to his chin before speaking.

 

Physio Joker: “The man who not only was a champion in London who you said was the greatest ever, and the guy here who holds the second biggest championship now that I hold this one… but anyway I put the 4 kings together… I was the master mind of the 4 greatest wrestlers coming together to run every fed that we stepped into… actually when I was spending time in Latvia we was the Faction that ran the place… so your next words I would advise you choose them very carefully…”

 

Steve: Oh man, we really have to update the History curriculum. Back in London, I said Max Styles was the greatest to ever do it, and in fact you got all pissy about it. And as far as Path goes, I stand by that statement.

 

Now, a little free advice, which I think it probably would have helped you to listen to me last time I gave this offer. If you want to strike fear into my heart about what a great champion you are, don't sell it as a group project. Because now all I hear is that you were part of a great unit. Together the Ninja Turtles can do it. Together the Beatles can do it. I don't care about the Four Kings if the one I'm fighting is the Ringo of the group and neither do any of these fans whose intelligence you tried to insult by naming a band they don't know. What's supposed to impress me about that? Oh, you put the group together? Zordon put the Power Rangers together and he was a floating head. Giles headed the Scooby gang but I wouldn't have trusted him with a stake.

 

And honestly I'm a little surprised at your sales pitch. You come out here dressed like a man who slings high end Bugattis - not in like a big name city or anything but at the dealership in the suburb of Leeds - and you can't pitch to me why I should take our match seriously. Other than the belt, which, again, do you need some help holding it? That's gonna buckle eventually.

 

Steve: Now if it’s okay, before you respond, I want to get some other opinions here.

 

Steve steps out of the ring and takes the microphone to the crowd. He sees a young girl, about 8

 

Steve: Excuse me young future champ! What’s your name?

 

Girl: Nomsa.

 

Steve: So nice to meet you Nomsa! Would you like to answer a question for me?

 

Nomsa: Yay!

 

Steve: When I say the name “Four Kings” what do you think of?

 

Nomsa makes an exaggerated cute thinking face then starts to speak with increasing speed and excitement .

 

Nomsa: My sister Mbali and I we were playing carrrds and Mbali had four kings and I had four aces and I beated her!

 

Nomsa makes a jumping movement with her hands and the crowd cheers. Another little boy raises his hand.

 

Little boy (Dakarai): ooh ooh you can beat four kings with five twooos.

 

Little boy 2 (Bandile): Four kings are easy to beat!!

 

The row of kids cheers. Steve high fives them then motions over a production manager and grabs a bag of Steve Thunder action figures and signs them, and hands them to the row of kids then gets them to come in for a picture, where they’re jumping over each other to be in it. Steve whispers to the PA to get the parents’ information to send the picture then jumps back in the ring.

 

Steve: Even these kids know when to hold em and when to fold em. Smart kids. Would not come to your poker game because I’d be broke. But I’m not afraid of Four Kings champ, ESPECIALLY when one of them is just a Joker trying to sell himself as a King. We’ve all had that one deck of cards and once again you are not that good a salesman.

 

Joker clinches his jaw as his temper starts to get the best of him before he takes a quick breath and forces a smile on his face.

 

Physio Joker: “I see what you’re trying to do… what is it that these kids call it?”

 

Joker thinks for a moment.

 

Physio Joker: “That’s it rage bait… you’re trying to rage bait me… and that will not work… Steve let me explain something to you about this right here…”

 

Joker staring at Steve points right at his heart.

 

Physio Joker: “You not taking me serious will be the biggest mistake of your life… you want to know why you should take this seriously, simple a chance at doing something that no one could ever do… a chance to actually kill the devil… and if that doesn’t get the juices flowing how about this.”

 

Joker coldly looks around the ring until he sees a fan in his early 20s with his parents in a Sting Ray Steve thunder shirt.

 

“Take this fan for example Steven… how do you think he will feel when we’re in our match and this poor fan is watching his hero bleeding and being carted out of the ring…”

 

Joker calmly walks towards the fan as he stops a few inches away from the barrier he raises up the championship staring at the fan.

 

Physio Joker: I will make sure that as long as I’m alive and hear that your hero Steve will never hold a championship no matter if it’s mine or anyone else’s… you look at him as a hero… but all he is, is just a scared man who’s afraid of letting everyone down… more important your afraid that you know once all that face paint come off and your flamboyant style dies you know that you wasn’t the hero that these fans loved and cherish… Steven I’m here to tell you that you will fail them… so don’t take our match serious… you can easily just come to the ring I hit you with good night Lillie and I pin you… 1….2….3 and show these fans the true sting Ray Steven… a coward who in big moments he just can’t get the job down…”

 

Joker flashes a cold and sick smile as the fan eyes water from Joker’s harsh words about his hero. Joker finally turns around and looks at Steve on the other side of the ring as Joker chuckles, Joker calmly walks up the ring steps and gets into the ring.

 

Physio Joker: “Now Steve… do I need to keep explaining why you should take me seriously… or do I need you to show you more?”

 

Steve takes in everything Physio is saying. His tone becomes less boisterous and more earnest, more matter of fact.

 

Steve: You know what? You’re right. I’m afraid of letting people down. I’m afraid of not being enough. I still lie awake at night thinking about how if I told Daria about why I didn’t wrestle as a Donner we might be fighting side by side and my actions pushed her into the darkness. I lie awake worrying that I should have done more to wake Manifestation up on that boat after they won their titles so they didn’t get stripped of them. I’m TERRIFIED of hurting the ones I love.

 

So, man to man, here in this place in front of all of these people, I guess I have to ask you. I need you to help me.

 

He approaches Physio with just the rope separating them and holds the mic up as he stares him in the eyes.

 

Steve: How do you do it, Phys?

 

How do you get so comfortable with letting people down all the time that it no longer scares you?

 

How do you get comfortable dropping belts to people you don’t see at your level? How do you walk with your cocky no shits given attitude when the other three kings didn’t see fit to stand by your side? Where are they, Phys? Where’s the team you brag about having built?

 

Joker sighs as he shakes his head.

 

Physio Joker: “Steven… sometimes you get caught so much in the excitement of violence that you lost sight of winning the match… yes I can say that’s always been my biggest flaw, instead of winning I enjoy inflicting as much pain as I can on anyone who’s standing across the ring from me… and you asked me about the other kings… well simple they’re dead… you know SM very well, the most arrogant sob that anyone has ever met, but he’s the man that I respect the most because he knows how to play this game the best and win… then you have Max… dear maxi, he was a worthy champion, but you have to understand that he had to be broken by me first for him to become the unbreakable danish warrior that he once was when I recruited him, now thee other four kings, one is officially retired but he’s always a phone call and a very nice paycheck away, another one well he’s helping his kid finally break free and show everyone how good of a wrestler he is, and the other two well let’s just say that they will never appear anywhere that me and SM are… now I see your still not taking this serious.”

 

Joker calmly walks towards the ring ropes as he slings the inferno championship around his shoulder. Joker leans on the ropes as he stares at Steve his voice calm but cold, his eyes burn a hatred but cold.

 

Physio Joker: Steven… let me break this down for you… I’m going to hurt you… not just physically, but I’m going to make this into a full blown war… I want to talk to the man with the degree in marine biology… the man who finds comfort deep in the sea… I want to know after I destroy everything that you stand for then what’s next for Steve?”

 

 

Steve cracks a small smile.

 

Steve: Are you threatening to kill the ocean? Because bigger men - that's not a high bar, let me retry - taller men... still not that high a bar. Hmm Oh well. You can't possibly kill everything that means something to me short of turning this entire planet into a sushi bar, making it so the only music is bro country, and Thanos Snapping the ENTIRE planet out of existence. You can't kill something that is bigger than you. Which for you is truly unfortunate.

 

You're once again right. I'm NOT taking this seriously. The last time I saw you successfully defend a title, maybe there have been more recent but I often used those matches as melatonin so I don't know how they ended, but the last time I saw you successfully defend a title I was in grad school. In my FIRST year of Grad School. Countless species have come on and off the endangered list since then.

 

And like I said at the beginning of all of this... I don't see at all that I earned this title shot, and that this is a function of a story that extends through now multiple feds. So even if I lose, it's a lateral move. Nothing changes for me. I'm gonna step in the ring, put on the best damn show I can, and whatever happens as long as this crowd is into it, it's all good for me. This isn't Path. I am the one with history here, I've already proven myself on this ground. You're taking a big ol' risk holding a belt when this crowd knew you first as an outsider. A loss for you is going to be SO MUCH more brutal than a loss for me. And maybe you don't care about these people. And maybe you only care about that gold. And that once again makes this so much harder for you, because if I don't have a belt I have them, but if you don't have a belt, you have NOTHING. And the irony is, that freedom takes me out of my own head, and makes me locked into the moment.

 

So let's be 100, let's be real. The fact that I'm not seeing this as a big deal should be very, VERY scary for you.

 

Steve thinks for a second.

 

Steve: How rude of me. You asked me what is next for me after you take everything, and I am taking FOREVER to get to the crux of the answer. IF, IF you take everything from me in this match, then I will do what I did after The Warden "took everything from me." Remember him? Sure he's somewhere. I will do what I did after Daria "took everything from me" and put me in the hospital. Stretch, enjoy a nice slice of banana pizza and a soda to reset the moment, come back to work, and step into the next match with a little bit of lesson and onto the next person who threatens to take everything from me.

 

Let me throw the question back to you. What will YOU do when I remind everyone what you look like on the ground, the referee handing what you were so sure was yours, to someone else... again? What happens when your actions don't match your legend... again? What happens when you have nothing but your stories, just another Al Bundy-ass man recounting the same three stories about your glory days?

 

Steve: Also, who the hell is Lillie Mae?

 

Joker laughs as he claps his hands.

 

Physio Joker: “Very very impressive Steven… you’re right what will I do if you take this championship from me…”

 

Joker points at the championship.

 

Physio Joker: well if you take this championship from me then I’m just going to burn this place to the ground and take another championship with me…”

 

Joker shrugs his shoulders as he calmly gets out of the ring now standing inches from Steve.

 

Physio Joker: “I’m glad that your not taking this seriously, it will make it so much easier as my prey when you don’t fight back and just let this beating that I give you happens, dear Maxi can tell you from first hand experience standing in the ring one on one with me doesn’t just mean a physical fight… but a psychological warfare… and I’m telling you right now that I will drag your sorry ass to hell with me…”

 

Joker calmly and coldly staring at Steve smacks him in the face.

 

Physio Joker: “And make you regret coming back to MAWL…”

Joker smirks a bit.

 

Physio Joker: “Lillie Mae isn’t a someone… it’s a somewhere… a locker in the depths of the darkest place in history and when I hit you with it… that’s where you’ll be going.”

 

Steve: So let's go.

 

Physio steps in the ring and pops Steve again. They both take off their tops and prepare to fight.

 

 

Ash: The following match is scheduled for One Fall!

 

Crowd: ONE FALL!

 

Ash: And it is for the Inferno Title!

The Challenger...from Slaughter Beach, Delaware, weighing in at 203 pounds, STING RAY STEVE THUNDER!

And the Champion... from the Tombs of the Great Pharaohs, Egypt, weighing in at 215 pounds, THE HEARTLESS ONE, PHYSIO JOKER!!

 

Kendra: So Steve is clowning Physio's size when he's 3 inches shorter and 12 pounds lighter than him?

 

Simon: Yep.

 

Kendra: Holy lack of self-awareness, Batman.

 

The bell rings!

 

Jackson: Physio from jump with a Huracanrana, Steve lands rough but kips back up and returns in kind. Physio rolls back up, grabs Steve's arm and ripcord lariat! Holding the arm down into an armbar, Steve flips and arm wringer flip to Physio, Physio back up quickly and a standing dropkick, Steve tumbles back and Physio takes the runway to go for a Sling Blade NO Steve catches his arm and arm drags him over the rope, front dropkicks him off the apron!

 

 

DAJ: ONE! TWO! 

 

Simon: Steve loading himself up, Springboard into a Huracanrana PHYSIO CATCHES HIM AND RUNNING POWERBOMBS HIM INTO THE STEPS! Steve bent over the middle step!

 

DAJ: ONE! TWO!

 

Kendra: Physio runs to the steps, jumps on the top one and a knee drop makes the bending worse!

 

DAJ: THREE! FOUR!

 

Jackson: Physio clenches Steve's head and blasting him with elbows, Steve catches an elbow and a spinning neckbreaker. 

 

DAJ: FIVE!

 

Simon: Steve back into the ring, Physio runs in with a lariat, Steve ducks, springboards around and tilt-a-whirl headscissors to Physio, Steve hits a standing Shooting Star and the cover-

 

DAJ: ONE! TW-

 

Kendra: Physio kicks, locking a headscissors armbar on Thunder, Thunder struggling but able to push the body into a side cradle!

 

DAJ: ONE! 

 

Jackson: Physio shoulders up, elbow shots to the head of Steve and gets him up... Powerbomb! Physio to the top, taking a jump, holding his legs and coming for the Shooting Star Leg Drop! Fall from Grace STEVE GETS HIS KNEES UP! Steve with a Back Roll, Tornado Spin Kick! Going back to the ropes, Pounding his feet on the Apron!!

 

Crowd: stomping their feet THUNDER! THUNDER! THUNDER!

 

Simon: Springboarding to the Top, INVERTED 630!! THUNDERSTRUCK!!!  

 

Kendra: Steve could end this right now, but he's choosing to play to the crowd, Back to the Apron-

 

Crowd: RELEASE THE SHEATH!

 

Jackson: Waiting for Physio to get up, looking for the Spike!! Physio to his feet, Steve launches himself PHYSIO CATCHES HIM! PHYSIO SETS UP THE DOUBLE UNDERHOOK! ONTO THE SHOULDER AND TAKES STEVE THROUGH THE FORBIDDEN DOORS!!!

Kendra: That outta nowhere Blockbuster Variation may have just put this one to bed, but Physio's not done! He made a promise to Steve he was gonna send him to Lillie Mae, and he intends to make good! ELBOW STRIKE! ELBOW 2!! ELBOW 3!!! THERE IS THE 4TH ELBOW AND THE SPIN AROUND, THE KICK HEARD ROUND THE WORLD!! GOOD NIGHT LILLIE MAY, GOOD NIGHT STEVE!!!

 

DAJ: ONE! TWO! THREE!

 

Physio Joker wins by Pinfall!

 

 

Ash: Here is your winner and STILL Inferno Champion, The Heartless One, PHYSIO JOKER!

 

Physio raises the title over Steve's head.

 

Kendra: Maybe now Steve Thunder will learn a little respect. Physio Joker maintains his title. 

 

Jackson: I don't think this will realistically change a lot in Steve's approach, but at the very least, MAWL sees that Physio Joker is in fact a real threat. 

 

Simon: I think now we have only one non-title match remaining, and it's a tag match that comes back to the issues that Vita Mars and Isabella Van der Garde have been having that really blew up at Graveyard Shift. So let's get into it.

 

 

Ash: The following Tag Team contest is scheduled for One Fall!

 

Crowd: ONE FALL!

 

 

The arena reflects a Starry sky with a satellite floating through. Stellar walk through the curtain, flipping their hair back in unison.

 

 

Ash: FIRST! The team of Marley Venus and Vita Mars, STELLAR!

 

They keep their noses up as they walk in perfect synchronicity to the ring, shutting out the boos around them.

 

Kendra: They are unbothered and I love that for them.

 

Jackson: This is going to need to be a quick finish proposition for these two, they also have a title match and if how things in MAWL have been going is any indication, X-Treme Society are just waiting behind the curtain for the bell to ring on this one so they can strike.

 

Simon: Isabella and her partner Mayu Iwatani will need to be not only faster but more in sync than the sisters here. It's a big ask.

 

They enter the ring with a flourish, continuing to look out disdainfully at the world around them.

 

Sounds of cannons blast off and "I, Emperor" begins playing.

 

 

Two hooded feminine figures appear on stage and lower their hoods to reveal themselves as Isabella Van Der Garde and Mayu Iwatani.

 

 

Ash: And their opponents! The team of Isabella Van der Garde and Mayu Iwatani!!

 

They wink at a nearby camera before heading to the ramp. Once at ringside they slide immediately underneath the bottom rope to not just enter the ring but slide all the way to the opposite ropes. Afterwards they climb up the ropes until bent over the top rope and blow kisses towards the crowd before shooting cheeky winks towards the camera as taking their cloaks off and carefully dropping them on the apron. 

 

Vita and Isabella start and the Bell rings!

 

Kendra: Isabella going for a test of strength with Vita, Vita pulls back. Isabella frustrated, going for another test of strength, Vita... tags Marley in. Clever way to play with her head, and Isabella's frustration looks to get the better of her if she's not careful. Getting in the face of Vita and Marley takes the opportunity to La Mastrigal Roll Up-

 

Lisa: ONE! T-

 

Jackson: Isabella kicks, gets Marley's head in her hands and a flurry of knee shots, wrapping that up with a discus elbow! Isabella coming off the ropes, blasts her with that Superman Forearm! Stamped! Tag in to Mayu, Mayu comes in through the top and catches Marley with a splash! 

 

Kendra: Marley pushes her off, Iwatani blasts Marley with a Superkick! Up to the top, going for the Moonsault, Vita grabs the rope and rocks her off, Marley goes for the roll-up-

 

Lisa: ONE! TWO!

 

Simon: Kick up by Iwatani, Iwatani gets Marley by the waist and German Suplex! Going for a pin, but Marley rolls out and tags Vita in, Vita charging Iwatani and Iwatani hitting an arm drag on her! Iwatani gets her up and Sky High! Tag in to Isabella, Isabella comes up from the top and Banzai Drop! 

 

Lisa: ONE! 

 

Kendra: Vita kicks, and she's trying to tag out of the match OH but Isabella flips her over with an arm drag and Elbow Smash! Isabella isn't going to let her get away, gets Vita's head between her thighs and going for a Brain Squeezer Submission!

 

Jackson: Normally she does this when she's feeling playful but this is her doing this to embarrass and spite Vita, Vita refusing to tap and here comes Marley to save her, OH but Fubuki Rana by Iwatani takes her out of the picture!! Mayu Iwatani is well aware that she is the friend in the double part of the double date, and this is Isabella's fight to win. 

 

Simon: Isabella squeezes tight... and a sort of Inverted Devil's Kiss just ROCKING the back of Vita's head! Re-locking the submission, Vita's now I think weighing the next match against this one and tapping!

 

Isabella Van der Garde wins by Submission!

 

 

Ash: Here are your winners, Isabella Van der Garde and Mayu Iwatani!

 

Simon: Isabella gets her revenge and her victory, and she can finally rest easy on this. 

 

 

Kendra: Yep! Sure enough here come X-Treme Society to claim their victory like little vultures.

 

Jackson: Normally, I'd agree with that sentiment but given how Stellar have been messing with them over the past few months they kinda have it coming.

 

 

The bell rings!

 

Simon: I'm with Jackson on this one. And Dante and Victoria have each picked a target, and they're just going full ham on them with fists! Stereo Germans! A second pair of Stereo Germans! They each whip their targets at each other for a switch up, Dante catches Vita in the Amboy Special Stunner!! Victoria catches Marley with the Rebound Spinebuster!!

 

Jackson: They at least want to make a little show of it, can't blame em for at least getting their licks in and not just scooping a pin.

 

Kendra: Still vulture behavior.

 

Simon: You weren't saying this about Sex Appeal when they pulled this kinda stuff. Dante pulls the sisters up... a head on each shoulder and Double Sitdown Front-Facing Jawbreaker!!! Lines them up for Victoria... MOONSAULT! DOUBLE EXTREME COMBINATION! She lays across both sisters-

 

Lisa: ONE! TWO! THREE!

 

Victoria Scythe wins by Pinfall!

 

 

Ash: Here are your winners, and STILL Tag Team Champions... DANTE RIVERA! VICTORIA SCYTHE! X-TREME SOCIETY!!! 

 

Jackson: You said it yourself, how you win is how you win.

 

Kendra: Yeah, I guess. Let's move on.

 

Simon: Everything now will have Title Implications, and we start with the Dead Air Title.

 

 

Ash: The following contest is a STRAP MATCH and it is for the Dead Air Title! The match can only be won by pinfall, submission, or if your opponent releases themselves from the strap during the match, and there is NO Champion's Advantage during this fight!

 

Kendra: Colin's really feeling himself a little too much in removing Champion's Advantage.

 

Simon: While I don't entirely disagree with you here, this is to prevent Daniel from putting on the mask to win and hurt everyone around him in the process.

 

Jackson: Daniel will have to rely on his own strength to take the title home with him.

 

Kendra: Well why not just take Red Ghost's crowbar? Or Scott Razor's bat? Or ban ZLI from ringside? 

 

Simon: You may not be making the point you think you are.

 

 

Mansin walks out, eyes fixated solely on the ring.

 

 

Ash: The challenger! From the Shadows of his own Mind, weighing in at 240 pounds, MANSIN! 

 

Mansin storms into the ring.

 

Loud-repeating booms fills the arena with big letter ‘D’ showing up in the titantron before it changes to ‘Daniel’ as the soundtrack Waiting - Not Forgotten played ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3HP8bog39Q ) through the PA.

 

 

Daniel walks slowly in his long coat through the ramp down to the ring. His eyes are fixed and focused, locking on to his opponent.

 

 

Ash: And the champion! From Moultrie County, Illinois, weighing in at 284 pounds... DANIEL!

 

He climbs the steel stair and enters the ring through the 2nd rope. Finally he’s posing his Destroyer’s Roar with loud big banged pyros from the turnbuckle behind him.

 

Jackson: We've been assured by Colin that the mask is in the office, and Daniel and Mansin have agreed to this. 

 

DeAndra Jones puts the strap on the wrists of Daniel and Mansin, both of whom seem irritated. The bell rings!

 

Kendra: Mansin pulls him in, going right for Maneurysm and Daniel uses the strap to swing Mansin around and rock him with a big boot! Mansin back to his feet quickly and quick punches to the gut of Daniel, up and a Spinebuster! Oh, but he's feeling the drag a little as Daniel rolls back, Mansin dragging him back around and up into an Atomic Drop!

 

Simon: Smarter to keep the moves to ones where your opponent can stay close to you, keep from getting too taut. Stomps by Mansin, Daniel rolls to the other side and trips Mansin up, Mansin hits the ground and Daniel wrapping the strap around Mansin's ankle, pulling it up for an ankle lock. Mansin straining a little but not showing it, kicking at Daniel and pushes him away, Daniel using the strap to his benefit and over-selling the roll back! 

 

Jackson: Mansin being brought along, Daniel gets his legs closer and a facebuster! Inverted Crab, Mansin isn't one to submit so Daniel has to know that this is just meant to weaken Mansin, Mansin rolling him over-

 

DAJ: ONE!

 

Kendra: Daniel kicks and gets him up, unloading a boxing combo the midsection of Mansin, Double Axe Handle and Daniel showing he doesn't need the mask to handle business. 

 

Simon: Mansin grabs the legs, looking like he's going for a Back Body Drop, thinks better of it and Alabama Slam! 

 

Jackson: He knew that he was gonna come with Daniel if he tried to send him over. This strap is no joke. Getting down to Daniel on the ground, wrapping the strap around Daniel's neck and pulling back for a take on a sleeper!! Daniel gagging but flips him over, going for a stomp-out! 

 

Kendra: Mansin using the strap to trip Daniel, he's no slouch in this match either, Gets him up and a backbreaker! Going for a pin-

 

DAJ: ONE! T-

 

Simon: Rolling into a reversal pin-

 

DAJ: ONE! TWO!

 

Simon: Kick up by Mansin, neither of these two can keep their momentum, a real back-and-forth, the frustration evident in their eyes if not their faces, and back to exchanging blows. 

 

Jackson: Mansin goes for a clothesline, Daniel ducks and goes for a clothesline and Mansin ducks, back around and double elbow shot! 

 

Kendra: I thought you said Daniel left the mask with Colin.

 

Simon: I did, why-

 

 

Kendra: Because it's on the turnbuckle. Just...sitting there.

 

Jackson: How... how did it get there?

 

Simon: We never know. 

 

Kendra: Daniel clearly trying to keep his eyes away, he peeks over and Mansin takes the moment to elbow him in the head. Daniel turns it around and forearm to the side of Mansin's head, and a backbreaker! Mansin trips him and a kick to the stomach, another and Daniel catches his leg, up to his feet and pulls Mansin up with the strap, onto his shoulder, Samoan Drop!

 

Simon: He's really feeling the call of that mask, Daniel starting to reach out what are you doing? You can end this right here and now, leave the mask alone! 

 

Jackson: He's reaching for it, thinking better of it but it just enough for Mansin to pull him right into his knee! MANEURYSM!! 

 

JAD: ONE! TWO! THREE!

 

Mansin wins by Pinfall!

 

 

Ash: Here is your winner and the NEW Dead Air Champion, MANSIN!

 

Jackson: That mask will be the death of Daniel.

 

Kendra: Or his savior if he's allowed it.

 

Simon: And with that, we head to the Crimson Rite Title Match!

 

 

Ash: The Following is for the Crimson Rite Title and will thus be contested using Crimson Rite Rules!

 

 

Chorker's theme music "Rust" hits with a slow industrial metal track with deep drums, low guitar tones, and mechanical ambience. The arena plunges into darkness. The sound of grinding metal echoes. 

 

 

Ash: First, the Challenger! From The Forgotten Mills, weighing 273 pounds, CHORKER!

 

Red lights flicker with each step he takes. His fans try to touch him as he walks down but he shrugs them off as his one focus is to win the match and leave. As he reaches the ring, a single white spotlight shines down on him while the music fades into silence.

 

Jackson: Chorker is going to shoot his shot here for the title, and hope that he can follow the momentum that Mansin started with some title changes.

 

He drops his chain onto the floor before stepping into the ring, but reconsiders and picks it back up.

 

Kendra: Chorker realizing that this is a No-DQ match, thinking twice about leaving that chain unattended.

 

 

Shawn Harris walks calmly to the ring shouldering the title.

 

 

Ash: AND THE CHAMPION! Representing La Sangre Maldita, From Manchester, England, weighing in at 220 pounds, AERIAL ASSASSIN SHAWN HARRIS!

 

In the corner Shawn puts his arms above his head and does a triangle with his hands.

 

Simon: At Graveyard Shift, Shawn exploited a loophole in the no finishers until they bleed rule, because he wasn't the one to do his finisher to Mal Sangre.

 

Kendra: And if you remember, it was the culmination of that match that led to our earlier civil war match between Superstar Davy Boy and Sombras.

 

Jackson: And with Shawn Harris seemingly fitting in more with a Superstar Davy Boy LSM than a Sombras one, it'll be interesting to see whether he gets any assistance tonight.

 

The bell rings!

 

Simon: Chorker already going in with his chain, Harris catches it and is trying to tug Chorker closer to him! We're starting this match with a tug of war, and Chorker's gonna win OH but that may have been Harris's plan the whole time, Harris brings a dropkick with him over to Chorker! 

 

Jackson: This is going to be a battle of brawn vs brains, and first point goes to brains.

 

Kendra: Chorker pushed back but keeps on his feet, HUGE boot to Harris! Harris rolls back, considers a Hidden Blade but remembering the rule of blood first, and unsheathes an actual blade! Charging Chorker, Chorker catches him out with a Double Axe Handle causing Harris to drop the blade, gets Harris up and Atomic Drop! 

 

Simon: It's different when you actually have to fight, isn't it, Shawn?

 

Jackson: Harris able to get himself back on track, Dropsault and an Enzuigiri! Chorker wobbling a bit, Harris looking to take advantage, off the ropes and a Shotgun Dropkick takes Chorker over the ropes! Harris keeps it moving, Springboard to the top turnbuckle, Poison Ranas Chorker off the apron!! 

 

Kendra: Harris keeping to the chest and face of Chorker, runs back up to the apron and Springboard Tornado DDT! If he can get the blood running, he'll be allowed to hit that finisher! 

 

Simon: Chorker back to his feet and a humongous German Suplex just rocks Harris. He just crumpled like a can in a press. Chorker picking Harris up for a second German Suplex! And going for one more HARRIS FINDS HIMSELF AND ANOTHER POISON RANA! 

 

Jackson: Chorker should have quit while he was ahead, and now he's paying the price for it. This is why Shawn Harris is the Aerial Assassin, he can turn things around mid-air on you in a split second. 

 

Kendra: Harris hoping those chairs have been restocked under the ring, nothing yet and Chorker pulls him out from under the apron, a devastating backbreaker with that steel knee. 

 

Simon: Harris is in trouble now, and he knows it, but refuses to let that stop him. 

 

Jackson: You're right about that Simon. Harris is in a 53 pound deficit against this man, and it's just about all muscle in both, and he can feel the difference in every blow. What he has to do is find a way to use that weight imbalance to his benefit. 

 

Kendra: That's where the speed game comes in. Chorker having metal replacement makes him brutal but it makes him slow. Chorker finding a chair next to the timekeeper, lifts it up and HERE'S the speed in play, Harris dropkicks the chair into the face of Chorker! I think Chorker might be bleeding a little! 

 

Simon: Harris draws first blood and opens up both access to his full moveset and Chorker's utter ire. 

 

Jackson: Chorker needs to let the rage not lead him into something stupid, and Harris is just like this little mosquito that's going to drive Chorker into a bad call. 

 

Kendra: Harris back into the ring, it looks like he's going to receive Chorker's chain...he wraps it around his waist and he's going for a Springboard Splash, OH CHORKER CATCHES HIM WITH ONE HAND AND A CHOKESLAM RIGHT INTO THE CANVAS!!! Wait, DeAndra's calling for the bell!

 

Ash: Due to Chorker using a Finisher BEFORE Shawn Harris has been made to bleed, he has been disqualified!

 

Simon: That the something stupid you meant?

 

Jackson: Pretty much exactly that, yes.

 

Aerial Assassin Shawn Harris wins by disqualification!

 

 

Ash: Your winner and STILL Crimson Rite Champion, Aerial Assassin Shawn Harris!

 

The crowd boos while Shawn Harris holds up the belt.

 

Kendra: I don't know why these people are all so sour about it. Harris was on track for a potential win regardless, and he used his intelligence to whip Chorker up into a frenzy that caused him to make an error. It was superior ring intellect on the part of Shawn Harris.

 

Jackson: Well our next match is the aforementioned Paddy Wagon Match, and the winner of this is going to need to once again bring the smarts and the strength.

 

Simon: This match is of particular interest I'm sure to Matt Martigon to win, both to keep his belt and to not have to relive the feeling of being taken to jail. As a reminder, Paddy Wagons are the trucks that take you to the clink.

 

Kendra: Kind of a crap move by the higher ups to put this traumatic fight on Matt Martigon.

 

Jackson: Well, it's what you get for being a braggart at that level and stealing away opportunities. The only reason he even HAS this belt is because he crashed the Feast or Famine and got in JP Spears' way. 

 

Kendra: Except he then beat Spears fair and square to formalize his reign.

 

 

Ash: The following is a Paddy Wagon Match and it is for the United States Championship! The only way to win is to handcuff your opponent and throw him in the back of the Paddy Wagon, then close the door!

 

 

Will leaves the stage with a slow and controlled walk.

 

 

Ash: First, the challenger! Ostensibly from Australia though there is some rumor that he is from New Zealand, weighing in at 127 kg, WILL CORRIGAN!

 

To enter the ring, he clings to the first rope to give himself the momentum to jump and enter the ring through the ropes. Once inside the ring, he places himself in the center and aggressively stares at the camera before taking off his jacket and positioning himself in its corner.

 

Jackson: If there is a man who can match Martigon in brutality, this is that man. This looks to be an absolute slobberknocker.

 

 

Dark blue lighting and dark smoke building up for Martigon to slowly walk through Scott Hall/Penta Jr style.

 

 

Matt occasionally stops to interact with fans at ring side but is typically more focused on the fight.

 

Ash: AND! The United States Champion! From Ottawa, Canada, weighing in at 233 pounds, The Wicked Deadly Matt Martigon!!

 

The Paddy Wagon makes its way to the stage. 

 

Matt holds the belt to the face of Will. Will pushes him and the bell rings!

 

Simon: Will and Matt already exchanging blows, Will throwing fists at Matt and gets a big combo in, Matt absorbs it with some wincing showing but grabs Matt's fists, kick to his midsection and pulls him in to a Northern Lights Suplex! Matt keeps hold of the fists, pulls him up for a second one! And a Fallaway Slam!

 

Jackson: Will rolling back to his feet, taken some bumps but he sees the handcuffs in the corner and palms them. Charging in and Cuff Punch to Matt! That'll knock him back, and a lariat to follow up there! Will opening the cuffs early, Matt up too quickly for any linking and back body drop to Will. 

 

Kendra: Will again to his feet, not staying down long, going for a Loaded Superman Punch but Matt catches his arm, up on his shoulders and Samoan Drop! OH but Will takes the cuffs and gets them around Matt's neck, he's trying to choke him out!

 

Simon: NOW Matt is showing some signs of struggle, Matt trying to get his thumbs around the chain and Will pulling it more taut, Matt is not meant to turn this shade of blue.

 

Jackson: Matt trying everything and kicks Will's knee to the back of his leg! Not literally of course but the force of that kick sounds like maybe a little bit literally. Matt with a back charge and slams Will against the turnbuckles, smashing his sides with back elbows, and flips Will in front of him. Will rolls up to his feet but Matt meets the moment with a jumping roundhouse and Will goes right back down! 

 

Kendra: Matt trying to bend Will's fingers back now and get the handcuffs, Will palms him repeatedly in the face to push him away and it looks like he just dislocated Matt's nose! 

 

Simon: Oh well that looks painful, Matt just snapped it back in place and headbutting Will! Will headbutts him back, Matt chops him in the throat! 

 

Jackson: Now Will drops the handcuffs, Matt going to pick them up and Will reads the moment to snap kick him right in the face! And a second to push him away from the cuffs! 

 

Simon: There is a second pair of cuffs on the other side of the ring guys. 

 

Kendra: Yep, Matt seems to have found them and now pocketing them for himself. Matt out of the ring, pulls a staircase up and boulder throws it over the ropes! Hops onto the apron, Will Corrigan loading up a Spear and Spears Matt right back to the ground! Looking to get the cuffs on, gets Matt's first wrist, but Matt forearms Corrigan with the other hand! Matt choking Will out now with the cuffs, Will trying to power through this but Matt pulls him up! This choke is elevated!!

 

Jackson: Will trying to pull the cuff off and Matt cuffs him with the other one!

 

Simon: Well that was dumb, now they're cuffed together. Can't do much except punch each other in the face, they are trading shots, MATT WITH A LOW BLOW KICK! 

 

Kendra: You don't want Will to fall down too far, he'll take you with him! Will pulls on him and knee to the face of Matt, Matt with gut punches, Will runs Matt into our table! Smashing his head and HEY GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY HAIR OH DAMN MATT JUST PULLED ONE OF MY BOBBY PINS OUT! 

 

Simon: He's trying to pick the lock of the cuff, Will slamming his head into the table! Matt jabs him in the eye with the Bobby Pin!! That gives him the air time to pick the lock, Matt releases the cuff and latches it on Will! Oh here's your pin back.

 

Kendra: Great. Thanks.

 

Jackson: Matt trying now to pull Will up on his shoulder and head towards the ramp OH WILL WITH DOUBLE AXE HAMMERS TO THE BACK OF MATT, AND A POLISH HAMMER!

 

Simon: That's most of what can happen with the hands at this point. Will rolls himself off Matt's shoulder and into the ring, trying to at least keep himself away from the Paddy Wagon, Matt rolls back after him, Will trying to pull off an armless spear, CAUGHT INTO THE ELEVATED DDT! SPINNING INTO A CHAOTIC NEUTRAL! Drags him by the head, onto the steps and a second one!! It's all academic from here!

 

Kendra: Matt gets Will on his shoulders and carries him to the doors of the Paddy Wagon, and it's all covered from here. Opening the door-

 

 

Kendra: JP SPEARS IS ON THE OTHER SIDE AND PULLS MATT IN TOO! ALL THREE OF THEM IN THE PADDY WAGON!! JP AND MATT ARE GOING AT IT, JP WANTS HIS BELT B-

 

 

Simon: SARAH SHARP CLOSES THE DOOR!!!

 

The bell rings!

 

A hush falls over the crowd. Sarah raises her hands in victory.

 

Ash: An official ruling has been made! Both Matt Martigon and Will Corrigan have been closed in the Paddy Wagon!

 

Sarah triumphantly walks to the ring.

 

Ash: HOWEVER, ONLY Will Corrigan has been handcuffed, fulfilling all requirements! THEREFORE, Your Winner and STILL CHAMPION-

 

Sarah is flabbergasted!!

 

 

Ash: ...THE WICKED DEADLY! MATT MAAAAAARTIGON!

 

Jackson: Normally I'd call that a copout, BUT Matt Martigon did have this won before JP and then Sarah attempted to steal the title. So in this case, the rightful man kept the belt, and the theft attempt has been thwarted.

 

Simon: And as we watch this leave, we turn our attentions to the second ring in the arena, where the Fight Pit is now set up.

 

 

Ash: The following is a FIGHT PIT and it is for the Eurasian Title!

 

 

Violent storms out towards the ring.

 

 

Ash: First, the Challenger! Representing the Deck of Hearts, VIOLENT! 

 

Violent storms down the ramp and into the ring, slamming the door of the Fight Pit behind him and leaving it slightly askew. 

 

Suddenly: "I'M COOOOOOOMING"

 

 

The arena lights dim, with red and white strobes sweeping the crowd.

Ace walks down the ramp with calculated calm, his movements deliberate and his gaze unflinching.

 

 

Ash: And the Champion! From Florida, weighing 300 pounds, the Eurasian Champion! J! C! M! AAACE!

 

Some of the crowd boos him relentlessly, some of them cheer, but Ace feeds off all of it with a smug, unbothered smirk.

 

Midway down the ramp, he stops and examines the arena, eyes fixated on the prize.

 

He climbs into the ring with slow, deliberate movements, scanning the arena before leaning casually against the ropes, waiting for the bell to ring, championship loosely wrapped around his waist.

 

Kendra: JCM Ace's determination is unwavering even with the utter size and brutality that is Violent. 

 

The bell rings!  

 

Jackson: JCM won't be able to use the ropes, because there are none, so he's gonna have to rely on his natural momentum. Coming in with a huge set of right hooks and a European Uppercut, Violent just absorbing all these blows. More uppercuts to Violent, Violent responds with a giant-sized headbutt and that rattles Ace! Huge gut punches and a scoop slam! 

 

Kendra: Violent doesn't need to do nearly as much to be as effective, and he gets a giant hip drop on Ace! He stays on him but there's no pinning in a fight pit! Trying to shift upward, sit on Ace's face in a form of submission? Good luck with that. 

 

Simon: Ace with a bell clap to the kidneys of Violent! Another one! To his feet and grabs Violent by the mask, RUNS him into the side of the cage! Head smash to the side of the cage, and more following with increasing intensity! 

 

Jackson: You can hear the steel starting to give way, Violent pushes back with the full force of his butt!

 

Simon: Putting the maximus in gluteus maximus!

 

Kendra: Violent lifting Ace up and a humongous Military Press just absolutely wrecks him. Violent seems to be trying to take this in the knockout route. 

 

Jackson: I don't think he really knows HOW to do submission, JCM likely won't tap like you said earlier but also I don't think it's in Violent's repertoire. But Violent also doesn't know how to stop playing with his food and it's not giving enough time for a count! Grabbing JCM and lifting him by the head, huge punch to the ribs! It sounds like that may have caved them in!

 

Simon: He just launches JCM to the other side of the ring! 

 

 

Carter: ONE! TWO! 

 

Jackson: JCM trying to get to his feet.

 

Carter: THREE! FOUR!

 

Kendra: Violent better hope he doesn't ope and there he is, charging and STILL able to land the 3rd Ave without the assistance of ropes! Trying and OH getting Violent up onto his shoulders! ACE BOMB! 

 

Carter: ONE! TWO!

 

Simon: A bigger man also has a harder time getting up.

 

Carter: THREE! FOUR!

 

Kendra: Violent pushing himself to his feet, JCM loading himself up.

 

Carter: FIVE! S-

 

Jackson: Violent up, JCM coming for a run and 3rd Ave VIOLENT CATCHES HIM INTO A SPINEBUSTER! JCM holds onto Violent's head and LAYING into him with hammer fists to each side of the head of Violent, bringing the punches down now to Violent's throat on both sides of his hemisphere, rolls out and trying to get him into a Koji and Violent swings him back into the ground, Violent taking a climb up to the second level of the Fight Pit, this is a wild thing that he's trying to do.

 

Simon: He's too big to move with any great speed, JCM starting to get to his feet, he pulls Violent off the cage and ACE BOMB NUMBER TWO! Trying again with the Koji but THIS time he's snapping the arm into place! 

 

Kendra: Good use of force, and Pompano Crusher is fully locked!! Violent screaming, because big don't bend. Violent pulls them up, and he's trying to spin him off, that doesn't work, Violent trying to charge him back into the cell and THAT isn't working, JCM refusing to let go! Violent taps!!! VIOLENT TAPS!!!

 

JCM Ace wins by Submission!

 

 

Ash: Here is your winner, and STILL EURASIAN CHAMPION, J! C! M! ACE!!!

 

JCM Ace catches his breath as he is handed the belt.

 

Jackson: When we return to the arena, we'll be down to our last 5 matches. But first, let's check in away from the action.

 

 

Destroyer: They kept you from me. They wanted you to fail.

 

 

Daniel: I failed because I was more paying attention to you than the match.

 

Destroyer: Because you needed me and you knew it.

 

Daniel: I could have won that title without you.

 

Destroyer: Have you won a title without me?

 

Daniel: I came very cl-

 

Destroyer: Have. You. Won. A title. Without me.

 

Daniel: I mean no, but-

 

Destroyer: And then when we were in sync, when we were creating beautiful carnage, you then won your title, yes?

 

Daniel: At what cost?

 

Destroyer: Does that really matter to you? Consider it. Consider that maybe this is a sign that we should no longer be apart.

 

Daniel finds himself holding the mask, and quickly puts it to the side. He finds he cannot take his eye off it though.

 

 

SM mutters to himself about having to suit up today and defend his belt and he doesn't even know who, and how Violent messed up his title shot. As he tapes up his wrists out of the corner of his eye he sees-

 

 

He goes back to taping up his wrists, thinks for a second, and looks back.

 

But there's no one there. 

 

He shakes his head and continues preparing.

 

 

WildFire is sitting in his locker room cross legged on the floor.

 

MI

May

MY

MO

MU

 

He sings.

 

Scooobeee Dooobee Dooobe Dooobe Doo

 

There is a knock on the door.

 

WildFire : It’s open.

 

WildFire standing up : Ya HAHHHA HAHHH HAHHH !!

 

 

Lenny enters and looks a little confused : Uhh what??

 

WildFire stops looking at him : “Hmm just practising my breathing exercises, singing is good for that.Its very Important for wrestling, breathing that is.”

 

Man : “Ok , uhh I am here to interview you , uhh unless you’re busy.. I can come back later…”

 

WildFire frowns : It’s called SCALES, the singing stuff I was doing scales, It’s helps with  breath control which is important in wrestling so you don’t gas out and stuff.”

 

Man : ok 

 

WildFire walks over and picks up a ipod.

 

WildFire : Just got off Face time with my family, figured I do some breathing stuff before you got here.” Holds up the Ipod so it can be seen by the camera and the interviewer.

 

There is a picture of two infants sleeping peacefully displayed on it.

 

WildFire : “Mark and Luke born just last month” He smiles paternally he load up a picture of his wife and other kids then starts looking through other family pictures.  

 

“Just that picture here so far but there’ll be more soon, it’s been pretty hectic since their births so…” He shakes his head “Ya you are here for the interview right?? About my Final Match against Lynx and Moon, the 3 way dance against them right??”

 

Interviewer : “Yes”

 

WildFire : “ Let’s fill you in on the backstory, mostly because it’s been awhile stuff and whatever..”

 

WildFire : So anyway, it all started months ago during The tournament for the Ether title. MAWL had split into two shows, and we were having tourneys to see who would win the new titles in the new show. The show was called FREQUENCY, it was run by RADIO SILENCE and I was competing for the Ether title in the second round.  I had faced someone in the first round, whose name I can’t remember right now, and anyway I was scheduled to face Lynx.”

 

“Now apparently in the first round Lynx had faced a guy called Rade, I think it was, in the frist round and it went badly. For Rade I mean. Rade lost and he was kind off pissed about it , so when the second round started just as the match between Lynx and I was about to start he came out and put the beatdown on Lynx, just as Lynx was about to enter the ring and the match was about to start.”

 

“So Lynx manages to get in the ring and he’s looking like he got repeatedly run over by a bus. But he’s there and he’s like “I’m here let’s do this @%$$#%” . I’m like “Ok, lets get this done!” “

 

“I charge in, and hit him with the BOOM2, he goes down like a sack of potatoes and I go for the pin. !..2 .. he kicks out. Cool. No problem. Little bit of offense. I hit him with the Boom2 agaIn.  Down he goes. !, 2 .. kicks out again.  So I hit him again.  Boom!! Down he goes. Kicks out fro a 3rd time. Well he’s moving like molasses in January. And I’m looking at him and I’m looking at the Ref.  “is this his thing???” Like nine lives or something?” But no, I’m looking at Lynx and his eyes are rolled in the back of his head, they look like hard boiled eggs or something, and he’s on auto pilot just swinging away at anything. I swear he was out on his feet . And the ref says go and I am like”Uhh what?” The ref is like “Just go” SO I hit Lynx again, another Boom2, wash, rinse repeat. And yes he still keeps getting up. It took me7 times to keep him down and get the pin.” WildFire shakes his head.

 

WildFire : So cool, awesome, I win, Lynx does his thing. He could’ve probably have made bank off of it.  But NOOO!!! He spends the next week whining backstage. Just whine, whine, whine. Come out the next week more whining. Barry’s  the Ether title, says it sucks, blah blah blah.So later that night, I win the Ether title, he’s got a match with Rade, I come out with The Ether title just as the match is about to start and I clock him with it, Lynx I mean, not Rade, I take that title and I shove it in his face so hard he nearly choked to death on it.  And then I walked away.

 

A couple of weeks later The Blondes and I having a little public celebration of our title wins, I having won the Ether title, they having won the Tag Team one, when Lynx comes running out still made as Heck and “Screaming “I’ll kill you, I’ll kill you !” And I’m like “Dude what were you gonna do before “Take me out to dinner?””. Well thinking it, not saying it. Security drags him off.

 

So it’s decided that Moon will be my first opponent to defend the Ether title, cool, awesome.  In the ring for the big promo with Moon. Suddenly Lynx come charging out… “I’ll kill you, I’ll Kill you” WildFire shakes his head. He wants a title shot I say “Nond we po”. Basically Moon and I `drive him off. Later that night. Moon is backstage, Lynx attacks him knocking him down then turn away from him and addresses the camera. As he addresses the camera, Moon rises to his feet smashes Lynx to the ground saying something in MARATHI, which is his native dialect,  saying something which I assume is all cool and kind of edgelord kind of stuff, and now the match is a three way match.

 

Well months pass, stuff happens and the match happens but stuff. So it’s a dark Match and we only have 5 minutes. So the original plan was to handcuff Lynx to the ring while Moon and I fought it out, but instead I handcuff both of them and beat the crap out of both of them , and I win the match .

 

WildFire shakes his head “The worst part is, that even after all of this, LYNX STILL WON”T STOP WHINING !! I swear to GOD, IT”S BEEN MONTHS AND MONTHS and he still won’t shut up !!!

WildFire “So this is the last Time , the Last Time . I’m going to go out there, beat the living crap out of him, one last time and shut his whiny mouth for Good. And Moon, no disrespect to him, but he’s just in the wrong place at the wrong time. And he’s going to get wrecked along with Lynx.”

 

 

Simon: Not gonna lie, makes me a bit nervous where Daniel is heading.

 

 

Kendra: Daniel's gotta do what he's gotta do to get ahead. Whatever choice he makes I hope it makes things work for him.

 

 

Jackson: And now I'm particularly excited for these next few matches, I got to see the birth of these titles and now here I am calling them again... especially this first one which has been a longstanding trios feud which will have hopefully a more full experience than their so-called match during Fallout.

 

 

Ash: The following is a Last Chance Three-Way Dance, and it is for the Ether Title! The losers will no longer be eligible to challenge for the Ether Title until the title changes hands!

 

 

The lights emit a popstar vibe and the crowd starts singing. Dancers in Lynx masks surround the entrance and Lynx comes out, dance-walking.

 

 

Ash: The challengers! First! From Bialowieza Forest, Poland, weighing in at 205 pounds, LYNX!

 

Lynx continues to dance down the ramp and rolls into the ring. 

 

 

A colorful lightshow dances across the entrance gate. A generic wrestling video plays on the titan-tron, as Moon makes his way to the ring.

 

 

Ash: And from Pune, India, weighing in at 200 pounds, The Noble Prince MOON!

 

Moon walks slowly through the main gate. He then poses on top of the turnbuckle before he heads to the center of the ring.

 

Moon's tall frame and broad shoulders cast an imposing figure. He's dressed in his Royal Moon Prince attire. The lights illuminate the golden trimming on his outfit. A fierce energy seems to emanate from him. His hair is white; and his dark eyes, alight with excitement, have fire in them.

 

As Moon enters the ring he removes his royal attire and the crowd in the arena witness his impressive physique. Moon is quite handsome. His toned and tight body make a great first impression. His six pack abs and bulging biceps look very impressive.

 

Arena light go out as the crowd goes silent

                  The Titantron goes all white, as the name "WildFire" is displayed on the main screen, before he makes an appearance

                  "Better than the Best!!!", "!2 out of 10 !!!", "8 stars out of 5 !!!","Simply the Greatesr EVER!!!"

                  WildFire charges out of the crowd sliding into the ring

 

 

      WildFire kneels in the center of the ring both arms raised with the title in his hands.

                  Fireworks Explode from the 4 ring posts as "I Wanna Rock" by Twisted Sister plays

 

 

Ash: AND THE CHAMPION! From Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, weighing in at 225 pounds, he is the Ether Champion, WILDFIRE!!!

 

The bell rings!

 

Kendra: Lynx and Moon are deciding their best course of action is to start by taking Wild down, a double suplex, Lynx holds Wild's head and Moon taking a run, boot right to Wild's face! Scooping him up, double Irish Whip and Double Arm Drag! Wild back to his feet quickly though, spin kick to Lynx and spin kick to Moon.

 

Simon: Wild rolls out of the ring, pulls a chair and brings it into the ring, sticking it between two buckles, gets Lynx up and Irish Whips him with huge force into the chair buckle! Taking a run and boots Lynx's face into that chair. Rolling backwards into an O'Connor-

 

 

Carter: ONE! T-

 

Simon: Quick kick by Lynx out of the roll-up but right into Moon's arms and Moon goes for a German Suplex into a Pin-

 

Carter: ONE!

 

Kendra: Lynx out again, and Wild runs in with a bulldog to Moon. Keeping the head locked in and spinning into a Crossface! Moon fighting to his feet and Wild wrenching the head to bring him back down. Lynx hits Wild in the head with a chair!! He could have let Wild take Moon out, but he wasn't having it. 

 

Jackson: Moon and Lynx trying to work together again, going for a double stomp off, Moon sticks his hands out, Lynx hops over Wild and takes the assist for a Moonsault!

 

Carter: ONE! T-

 

Simon: Wild kicks out and going ham on the head of Lynx, trying to yank at the mask at Lynx and get it off, Moon coming around and trying for a fist drop, Wild pulls Lynx in the way! Lynx eats Moon's fist!! 

 

Kendra: Wild with a brutal knee shot to Lynx and runs Lynx into the corner! Tying Lynx into the ropes and just going to town on the ribs. Wild rolls under the ring, and pulls out a taser-gun, and Lynx is getting fried! Moon coming to Lynx's rescue but Wild rolls out of the way and Moon hits a splash on Lynx!

 

Jackson: Do they know this isn't a Handicap Match?

 

Simon: Well, even if it were, Wild is foxing them. And he handcuffs Lynx to the post, whips Moon to the outside, Moon getting to his feet and Wild springboard dropkick! Moon rolls back, grabs Wild's arm and Irish Whips him into the step! Wild rolls over it, Moon runs up the steps and knee drop! 

 

Kendra: Maybe Wild should have kept his attentions on Lynx first. Wild is up and snap suplex, Moon is sent up those steel steps! Wild goes to where his wife and kids are sitting, and digs through a long bag, he has a hockey stick! Whips it into the rib of Moon!! Rolling back into the ring, charging Lynx, Lynx gets him with a knee lift! Lynx wrapping his legs around Wild's head, Deadly Night Shade!! Oh but he can't capitalize, he's still cuffed! Trying to wriggle his wrists through the cuffs, lifting his legs up, double stomp to the back of Wild! 

 

Jackson: He's gonna need to be freed to get a pin, but he's also gonna need to be freed for Wild to beat him, so there's not much incentive to keep him there for too long other than wearing him down. And now he's fighting back, oh but Wild rolls back and picks the stick back up, taking out the legs with that hockey stick! This is just an exercise in brutality! 

 

Simon: Moon runs in, running front dropkick to Wild, Wild pushed into Lynx and Moon tries for the La Magistral on WildFire-

 

Carter: ONE! TWO! 

 

Kendra: Wild kicks, jumps up BOOM2 TO MOON!

 

Carter: ONE! TWO! THREE!

 

Moon is eliminated by WildFire!

 

Simon: Moon will not be able to go for the Ether Title now until whoever wins this match drops the belt. 

 

Kendra: Wild returns to Lynx, but he's been uncuffed?! I think Carter let him out!!

 

Jackson: To be clear, what we mean now is Lynx isn't in the corner, he's walking the top rope, and he's hitting a Flatliner!! SKYWALK!! LYNX MAY HAVE JUST BEEN HANDED THE KEY LITERALLY AND FIGURATIVELY-WAIT-

 

 

Kendra: THE BLONDES COMING OUT THROUGH THE CROWD, CLOSING IN ON LYNX! IN THE RING, THEY EACH GOT A CAMERA IN HAND AND SANDWICH LYNX'S HEAD IN THE CAMERA! WILD ROLLS LYNX UP!!

 

Carter: ONE! TWO! THREE!

 

Lynx is eliminated by WildFire! WildFire wins!

 

 

Ash: Here is your winner, and STILL Ether Champion, WILDFIRE!

 

Kendra: He said it would be the last time for Lynx and it looks like that's true. Lynx will need to move on to a different belt. 

 

Jackson: Speaking on moving to a different belt, the Signal Champs are in the ring and-

 

 

Simon: Yep! They're here! 

 

 

Simon: Wait, but I thought Pen Gwen wasn't with them any-

 

Kendra: That ain't Pen Gwen, that's Diana!

 

 

Simon: She's got a pipe! And she's taken Petey Peacock down! And she's taken Paulie Peacock down!

 

She snaps her fingers and two goons in DOH jackets carry the fallen Birds to the ring. Before they get in, Diana raises her hand.

 

Diana: Stop. Now, Blondes. I have your attention. We had a deal. If you can ASSURE ME that the next tag title match will go to Deck of Hearts, if you can right here and now commit to a title match between you and Deck of Hearts at Holiday Hellscape, you get the birds. Otherwise-

 

Diana snaps her fingers again, and DOH goons start entering from all entrances.

 

Diana: I wake these two up, you three himbos get your asses beat, and the belts fly away. I've even got a goon in a dog costume to laugh at you when it happens. 

 

The dog goon pops up from the crowd.

 

The Blondes put their heads together and after a moment, agree with 4 thumbs up. Diana nods and the Birds are thrown into the ring.

 

Diana: If you try to renege on our deal, Violent will make sure your handprints in the Mann Chinese Theater are coming up from the ground rather than down.

 

The Birds get covered.

 

Carter: ONE! TWO! THREE!

 

The MAWLIWOOD Blondes win by Pinfall.

 

 

Ash: Here are your winners and still Signal Tag Team Champions, MAWLIWOOD Blondes. 

 

Simon: Well I'm being told that Blondes vs DOH is now official for Holiday Hellscape, so Diana did what she said she was going to do.

 

Kendra: She's also going a little rogue, I don't know if SM approved of this. 

 

Diana: And since I have the microphone, I'm happy to announce that I am going to be filling in at the Head of the Table Match for Rox Starr. Girlie is just too tired after her other match to get another title defense. They say it's better to ask forgiveness than seek permission so here we go. 

 

Jackson: Yeah, she's out of control. 

 

 

Colin: You're sure making a lot of decisions on your own without going through the proper channels.

 

Diana: Things never get done if you have to ask for every little thing. Yeah, I get things done.

 

Colin: By the looks of it, it doesn't have a great success rate.

 

Diana: I got Deck of Hearts a trios title match, I got them our tag title shot back-

 

Colin: And what belts are you wearing?

 

Diana: It's called being a team player, Colin. You wouldn't understand, you abandoned your post for power. 

 

Colin: A team player whose rash choices affected your whole team's autonomy. Well, you're here in another mess. And I didn't come out here to lecture you. But I do want you to know that your choices do have consequences. 

 

Diana: I don't want to lecture you so I'm going to say the quintessential lecture phrase.

 

Colin: What I MEAN is. You'll get to replace Rox Starr in the Family Table Match. BUT. Only if the match happens right now.

 

Some of the swagger leaves her voice. 

 

Diana: Oh but there's another match...

 

Colin: And that will become the new co-main-event happening right after this match. I'm going to make this very simple for you. You stay here, you get to be in the match but you pull a whole bunch of deserving people out of a main event, and I don't think they'll be happy to see you if that happens. You walk down that ramp and through that entranceway, that ends your night. Right now is the last time you will be allowed in the ring section so you either take the match here and now and then go home, or you go home with no match. 

 

Diana: Alright, well, I guess I'm staying then. Bring them on.

 

 

Ash: The following is a Family Dinner Match and it is for the Epoch Title! The only way to win is to be the last person not put through a table!

 

The remainder of the competitors run down to the ring!

 

The brawl kicks off and so the bell rings!

 

Kendra: And everyone is staring down Diana. It's clear that no one wanted what just happened to happen, and she's clearly going to have a hard time right about now. Guinevere and Nova Blake each take an arm of Diana and kicks to her stomach! They're picking up in speed, and double elbows to her back.

 

Simon: Tino and Tribal Chief exchanging incredibly stiff punches, two heads of their relative gangs, just absolutely brutalizing the faces of each other. US Rae smashes a flagpole upside the head of Jodie Sweetin! Mal Sangre with a huge Spinebuster to Lou Bison, and Kacy Kruel allowing herself to get off scot-free, perched on the top turnbuckle like the Queen of Sheba. 

 

Jackson: She has to be prepared to fight, or she's gonna get caught off-guard. You can tell this match feels beneath her though, even if the prize isn't. Tribal Chief catches her slipping out of the corner of her eye, gets Tino up on his shoulder... going over and he's gonna make her pay, he pulls her off the Turnbuckle... BOTH TINO AND KACY EAT A RIP AND TEAR! TRIBAL CHIEF WASTES NO TIME AND TOLERATES NO LAZINESS IN HIS RING! 

 

Kendra: Of course not! You're there to fight. And he scoops Kacy up and body slams her on top of Tino!! Tino gets his arm around her beck and locks her into a Rear Naked Choke! Tribal Chief turning his attentions elsewhere and runs through Mal Sangre with a Clothesline, Lou Bison responds to Tribal Chief with a Polish Hammer to the chest. In another life, Lou could have been in the Tribal Chief's employ, seems like the kind of low level goon that would have taken the Chief's offer. Instead he's here representing the Godmother, whoever that is. Tribal Chief makes him regret that decision with the ring rattling Spinebuster, and he gets out of the ring to get the first Table!

 

Simon: Kacy trying to elbow herself away from Tino, Tino releases the hold but immediately pulls her up into a huge backbreaker and US Rae strikes him in the back with her flagpole! 

 

Jackson: Guinevere loading up the Flaming Kick, Nova Blake holding onto Diana Dresden, DRESDEN MOVES AND BLAKE EATS THE KICK! DRESDEN GRABS GUIN'S LEG AND EXPLODER SUPLEX! Scooping Guin up and Double Underhook... HOME REXER DDT! 

 

Kendra: These big moves are great, but you gotta get them through a table to get them outta here. That said, Nova struggling to shake off that kick, wobbling by the ropes and Tribal Chief sees his first quarry! Pulling her over the ropes and onto his shoulders... RIP AND TEAR AND LAUNCHES HER OFF THE APRON WITH IT INTO THE TABLE!

 

Nova Blake is eliminated by The Tribal Chief! (1)

 

Jackson: Tribal Chief not wasting any time and already going for another table, Mal Sangre takes a page from his brother Sombras' book and suicide dive knocks Tribal Chief on his back! Sangre ground pounding Chief. Guinevere trying to get to her feet, Dresden up to the top and US Rae kicks her off the turnbuckle and she tumbles outside the ring backwards! That looks like it hurts!

 

Kendra: Kacy to the top now, she dives on down with an elbow drop to Dresden! Sangre with a Guerilla Press to Tribal Chief onto the steps! He rolls over the steps and pulls one off, smashes it into the face of Mal! Tino slams his fists in the back of Lou Bison, Jodie Sweetin and Guinevere with a double suplex to US Rae, Rae rolls herself out of the ring to escape this chaos and Jodie eye poke to Guinevere, Guinevere with a throat chop to Jodie. 

 

Simon: Tino just absolutely blasting Bison in the corner with headbutts, and oh, he's pulling out knucks and he's gonna 10-punch him with a brass section backing him!

 

Crowd: 1! 2! 3! 4! 5! 6! 7! 8! 9! 10!

 

Jackson: Kacy whipping Diana towards the barricade, no Diana reverses it! Kacy crashes into the sides and Diana charges her with a boot!! Diana stomping Kacy out against the barricade. US Rae pulls a table out from under the ring... she's looking for more goodies to complement the table, oh she's not gonna get the chance, Diana rushes her into the side of the steps that are still intact! Side slam onto the steps, people are big fans of the steel today. Diana under now, oh she's found the cutlery, and the box of fine china, look out behind you and Kacy with a running bionic elbow knocks Diana forward! Diana jabs her in the rib with the china box, where did Rae go? 

 

Kendra: She took the table in the ring and she's setting it up in the corner! 

 

Simon: Tino sending Bison off the ropes, Bison coming back and gets Deep Sixed!! Mal Sangre looks like he's filling himself with that mist, waiting for Tribal to get up OH BUT TRIBAL RISES WITH AN UPPERCUT AND THAT MOUTH FULL OF MIST BECOMES BACKWASH! RIP AND TEAR! 

 

Jackson: Mal Sangre has had a mixed bag of a day for sure, winning the Wrath Group only to come up short in the Ladder Match. Guinevere spike DDT to Jodie, scooping her up and inverted body slam! 

 

Kendra: Diana donks Kacy in the head with the box of china! We're starting to get the Thanksgiving part of this going, Diana grabs forks from that box of cutlery, she's rolling into the ring with the china and the forks. What do you think she has planned?

 

Simon: Something malicious for sure. Guinevere picking Jodie up, JODIE TRIPS HER INTO THE TABLE CORNER! GUINEVERE TURNS AROUND AND EATS A SUPERKICK FROM US RAE WITH ENOUGH FORCE TO PUSH HER THROUGH THE TABLE!! WE'RE GUARANTEED A NEW CHAMP!!

 

Guinevere is eliminated by US Rae! (1)

 

Jackson: Diana drops the forks prong up on the mat. She's switching up from tacks and trying something a little bit more thematic. US Rae turns around from her elimination and right into the waiting arms of Jodie Sweetin who hits her with a spinning neckbreaker. Tribal Chief cleaning off the Farsi Table, he's got Mal Sangre and sets him up on the table HERE COMES LOU BISON WITH A DIVING HEADBUTT!! HE JUST SNIPED TRIBAL CHIEF'S KILL!

 

Mal Sangre is eliminated by Lou Bison! (1)

 

Kendra: Tribal Chief showing his appreciation with a huge set of forearms to the face of Bison and a face-first launching into the barricade HERE COMES TINO WITH A DIVING AXE HANDLE TO KNOCK CHIEF DOWN! 

 

Jackson: People stepping outside their comfort zones here and exploring every aspect of the craft. 

 

Simon: You're fighting for the top title in the league, you have to give it your absolute all. You don't know the next time an opportunity like this is going to arise for you.

 

Kendra: And more than anything these people want to fight. Beating the hell out of each other is why they're here so there's no back seats being taken. Other than Diana who picked herself, each team picked their barest of knuckles, the person they felt exuded that perfect combination of leadership, representing their brand, and brutality. And Diana with a huge suplex on Jodie Sweetin onto those forks! 

 

Jackson: I hate to say it but she's showing herself a fine representation of her brand in this fight. Specifically - very specifically - in this fight. She opens that box of china and throws it up into the air, oh she's creating a whole other dangerous terrain here!! 

 

Simon: Everyone is smart to get out of the way, taking this opportunity to grab tables under the ring as the plates shatter, we've got four tables just entering the battle... almost synchronized in the set up. The air is safe now, but the ground is pure peril, and I feel like there's gonna be some brutality, the tables getting pushed towards the center like everyone of a like mind. 

 

Kendra: It's just a tangled web of fists in the middle of the ring, hard to make heads of tails... no one particularly keen to hit a ground full of forks and broken China. Back suplex by Kacy Kruel to Jodie Sweetin and she's the first to feel the full effects of the box!! 

 

Jodie Sweetin is eliminated by Kacy Kruel! (1)

 

Simon: Kacy to her feet and Lou Bison back body drops her into a table!!

 

Kacy Kruel is eliminated by Lou Bison! (2)

 

Jackson: US RAE WITH A HURACANRANA THROUGH ANOTHER TABLE TAKES BISON OUT!

 

Lou Bison is eliminated by US Rae! (2)

 

Simon: A chain reaction, and suddenly we're down to 4! US Rae, Tribal Chief, Tino Sabatelli, and Diana Dresden. One of these 4 is walking away our new champ!

 

Kendra: Rae clotheslines Diana outside!! Tino and Chief going at it in the ring, and it's a battle of kesagiri chops! Chief gets the upper edge, Irish Whip to Tino, Tino knocks him back with a Shoulder Block! Chief back to his feet and arm drag on Tino, Tino up and returns in kind.

 

Jackson: Rae with a stomp out to Diana, Diana grabs her leg and spins her, Dragon Whip, and an ankle lock! Not gonna be the last thing she does to her but it definitely puts the hurt on her. Dragging Rae over to the half-steps, slamming Rae's ankle on it! And again! She's looking for the other steps, she clearly is looking to put the hurt on Rae something fierce. 

 

Simon: Tino rib punches Tribal Chief, Tribal suplexes Tino in return! And Diana gets the other step, but spent too much time on this, Rae dropkicks the steps into her! That'll keep Diana down.

 

Kendra: Rae is hobbling a little, but she's able to get the table from under the ring, and sliding into the ring with it. 

 

Jackson: Rae sets her secondary table up, but Tribal Chief is so focused on Tino that I don't even think he caught wind of this! 

 

Simon: SPINEBUSTER TAKES TINO THROUGH THE TABLE!

 

Tino Sabatelli is eliminated by Tribal Chief! (2)

 

Kendra: POISON RANA BY US RAE AND TRIBAL CHIEF EATS WOOD!!

 

Tribal Chief is eliminated by US Rae! (3)

 

Jackson: That landing was rough for US Rae as she shakes her leg off BUT NOT AS ROUGH AS DIANA DRESDEN HOLDING THAT TABLE OVER HER LIKE A CHAIR! SHE BREAKS IT OVER HER!!!! DIANA DRESDEN SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN HER COMEUPPANCE AND INSTEAD SHE JUST STOLE HERSELF A TITLE!!!!

 

US Rae is eliminated by Diana Dresden! (1) Diana Dresden wins!!

 

 

Ash: Here is your winner, and the NEW Epoch Champion, DIANA DRESDEN!!!

 

Simon: Diana made it work for her, and we are all worse for it. Hopefully the next match will give more of a breath of fresh air for the future.

 

Kendra: And apparently, we've been told it was requested the ring not be cleaned out leading into the next match.
