DANGJIN-KUN, SOUTH KOREA
ROKS JEONJU ARENA
Fireworks go off in the South Korean night sky as HUNTR/X "Golden" plays through the arena. The crowd goes absolutely bonkers bananas.
Simon Apple (VO): Protection of two Presidents. A harbor ship for Americans in the wake of World War II, and a vessel of war for both the US as the USS Rogers and South Korea as the ROKS Jeonju. And so, with support of our amazing allies in South Korea, we stand aboard history itself, ready to continue its legacy of heroism and pain! WELCOME! TO THE BOOM!
Simon: I'm Simon Apple and I'm joined as always by my fantastic comrades, Kendra Mavis and Arvin Wallace-Jones. We are aboard a Destroyer Class ship and I could not think of a more fitting place for the level of explosive action we have today.
Kendra: Damn right, Simon. We have two monsters going to take their chaos all over this dang ship. We've got a Broken Mirrors Match that Colin set up a few weeks back when Vain Plato demanded a title shot. And, if you caught recently that Tragedeigh returned in all her Swampy Glory, she'll be challenging Manta Ray for the belt he very recently got back from Vain Plato. And of course, Ishani has her first title defense of our brand new Top Title against an opponent to be determined by a Beat the Clock Challenge. Oh! And your buddy Gozu defends his title against Scott Razor.
Arvin: I know who I'm rooting for, I hope Gozu gets squashed.
Simon: I wouldn't have announced that personally.
Kendra: Yeah, Gozu has ears everywhere and I don't think many in the back would ag-
Voice Over: Wrestling has only one HeartBreaker.
Enter SM HeartBreaker.
Not wearing his usual smart and formal outfit. SM HeartBreaker comes to the ring in what I can only explain as a hoodie and grey yoga pants?
Is this for real? Is that what they are called? Let me google for a moment...
Yes, Men's grey yoga pants. Not womens! God! Imagine having that image burnt into your mind!? Horrifying right?!
Anyway...
SM HeartBreaker has no time to waste, grabs a microphone and rolls into the ring, ready to cut a promo.
SM: I am not going to waste much of your time. I am just going to drop my contractually obligated main event promo and then leave, return to my training.
And here comes the BOOOOOOOOOOMania runs wild as the MAWL fans don't care about this piece of trash!
SM: Despite me pushing myself to the very limit every single week since I lost my MAWL Asylum Championship in the final minute of my match against Gozu. Tonight, for ratings...
BOOOOOOOOOOOOMania is still going on as the fans do not care for this promo and are BOOOOing it out of the building.
SM: For your entertainment and...
STILL Running wild! Honestly, I am not sure how anyone can hear a word SM HeartBreaker.
SM: Because what is a MAWL event without SM HeartBreaker.
Oh the noise levels are went higher since some sections of the crowd did actually hear what SM HeartBreaker said.
SM: I take a break from my training to face Nero...
BOOOOOMania doesn't actually change. Nero is disliked by the MAWL fans too! They actually don't care for the match as much as SM HeartBreaker.
SM: Nero of the Psycho Supremacy, a stable I faced as a whole, so a one on one match against Nero is nothing more than a cool down, a break from my training. Nothing more than entertainment to you ungrateful, disgusting fans who do not understand the work that we put into this show each week.
There he is! The real SM HeartBreaker!
SM: Oh did I say something you didn't like? Did I just shoot at you all?
It is going down! No one is yelling timber yet though.
SM: You, yes you! Watching at home! You are just as bad as these toxic pieces of human trash in this arena. YOU! Eagerly watch the show week after week, waiting for certain promos. Skipping to the main event and lets be absolutely truthful. You fast forward to any segments involving me and watch, judging, hating, commenting on every little thing I do.
Wow! What is going on! Who is SM HeartBreaker talking to?! The TV fans?!
SM: You pretend not to but every week, you make your little negative toxic comments about me and all the work I have done here in MAWL. YOU! talk and talk. Judge and judge but at the very end of the day, you tune in every week, dreaming to be me. Dreaming that you are as good as me. Dreaming of being SM HeartBreaker.
What is going on?! Are people still Booing?!
SM: You watch with envy at what I do because your lives are just so mediocre, you simply have nothing better to do than dream of doing what I do. My worst day will always be better than your best. At my worst, I am infinitely better than you at your prime. I am the only one with the guts to call it out. You, the viewer watching this. Are nothing compared to me. Hiding, whispering. Being the scum of this business. A shameful mark on this industry. A insignificant stain on the floor of this empire that I have built. So stick to sleeping in your stained mattresses crying yourselves to sleep. You can gossip on your forums with all of the other jealous dumb marks.. You can pretend to not read this promo. Because I know that week after week, day after day. What I do and how well I do it, angers you,
Who pissed in SM HeartBreaker's Tea today?!
SM: So if you are watching this and wondering if I am aiming it at someone else or talking about someone else. I am not. I am aiming these shots at YOU!. Specifically YOU. Not someone else. YOU!
Me? The guy narrating this?! Seems awfully unfair I would say! Anyway, SM HeartBreaker stops pointing directly down the camera for a moment and we are back in the room!
SM: And despite my lack of interest to interrupt my training to face the so called "Best in MAWL" despite the fact he wasn't in the team defending MAWL a few weeks back. This match against Nero will of course be the highlight of the entire event. the talk of the world. No battle royal, No Title match. No other event created by a bunch of idiots with an AI. Nothing will come close to SM HeartBreaker versus Nero, The first ever real world champion of MAWL versus the Leader of Psycho Supremacy. The Best in the World versus The best in his own mind. To YOU! It is the most interesting thing you have watched all month! But to me...
SM HeartBreaker pauses for dramatic effect.
SM: It will just be Tuesday.
SM drops the mic and walks out to major BOOOOS.
Simon: Well. That was certainly a load of crap. I agree that the match will be amazing. MOST interesting? Eh, we'll see.
Kendra: And we'll see, starting now as we get into our card as we welcome back the amazing Ash Greaves-Orleans!
The crowd chants "Welcome Back!"
Ash gets up and the crowd gets to their feet. Ash smiles and waves.
Ash: Thank you. Truly thank you. What do you say we start the show, huh?
The crowd cheers.
Ash: The following contest is scheduled for one fall!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
The lights suddenly cut out for a brief moment and explode and strobe to the heavy riff of Soundgarden’s Outshined. The crowd is on their feet in support of the Kid they identify with. The Hometown Hero and the Kross town Rival. Twisted Kid Kross.
Ash: "Ladies and gentlemen, from the depths of despair and depravity of Sunnyvale Trailer Park, in Sunnyvale Nova Scotia Canada, weighing in at 230 pounds, your hometown hero and their cross town rival, Twisted Kiiiiiddddd Kross!!
Kid Kross saunters down to the ring with his flashy blue and green vest with a facial depiction of “the green bastard”, a local Sunnyvale wrestler. He has his aviators on carrying a hockey stick over his shoulder. His long hair flowing behind him. Kid Kross kneels down In the ring with his arms out to the side as the music hits the chorus “ Show me the power child I’d like to say, that I’m down on my knees today”. He pops back up when the lyrics say “it gives the butterflies, gives me away until I’m up on my feet again”. He climbs to the second rope and raises his stick in unison with “OUTSHINED, OUTSHINED, OUTSHINED, OUTSHINED!”
Ash: "Kid Kross!, the one we’ve all been waiting for! He’s here to take professional wrestling by storm!"
Kid Kross stares intently at the curtain awaiting his next challenge. Ready to prove himself to his fans and the rest of the wrestling world.
Revered Abner Almighty comes out, hands folded.
Reverend Abner walks down the ramp clutching his Clean Content Gospel to boos.
Ash: And his opponent! The leader of The Bored, from Bible Bend, Kentucky, weighing 225 pounds, REVEREND ABNER ALMIGHTY!
Kendra: The audience is truly not behind him AT ALL. And I don't blame them.
Arvin: I do. You're all heathens. HEATHENS.
The bell rings!
Simon: Kross has Abner by the tie, pulls him in for a ripcord clothesline. Picking him back up by the tie and into a Fireman's Carry! Samoan Drop! Kross has a lot of momentum and keeping it going, taking a run and a Springboard into a Moonsault! Kross nails it and keeping on for a pin!
1!
Kendra: Abner kicks. Kross undeterred, pulling the Reverend up into a ripcord and Reverend with a drop toe hold! Reverend getting around for a headlock, a very basic headlock, he's a no frills kind of fighter.
Simon: He's a no-fun kind of fighter.
Arvin: Put some respect on the Good Reverend's name.
Kendra: Keeping that headlock in tight, it may not put Kross out but keeping him grounded as much as possible is not necessarily a bad thing.
Simon: While Kross struggles to fight out of this, let's take the time to tell you about the fantastic card we have coming up. Our main event is Ishani defending her belt against the winner of the Beat the Clock Challenge, Abyss Breaker and Eradicus in a battle of the Titans, Manta Ray and Tragedeigh in an Iron Person Match with an extra Falls Count Anywhere Flavor, Gozu and Scott Razor in an Undisputed Match...it's a regular Pirate's Haul.
Arvin: And Reverend continuing to wrench that headlock and keep Kross grounded.
A chant of "This is Boring!" starts piping in.
Kendra: The audience showing their disapproval quickly. And Kross showing some agreement, punching at Abner's ribs picking him up and A BACK SUPLEX! Kross taking another run and standing Moonsault! NO! ABNER ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY!! Abner picking Kross up and gets him into an armbar.
Simon: Moving with a prayerful pace and slowly twisting Kross's arm, moving him into an Abdominal Stretch and Kross with the judo flip! Abner trying to get back to his feet, Kross blasts him with a dropkick!
Arvin: The Reverend doesn't stay down very long. And he's giving Kid Kross a good finger wagging, Kross doesn't take too kindly to it and grabs his finger! Twist of the finger, oh that's just disrespectful.
Simon: And holding that finger, dragging him with him as he runs to the ropes, springboard and another dropkick! Going foArvin: r a pin-
1!
Arvin: Reverend with the shoulder up, praise be to censors. Kross thinking through his next opportunity, pulls Rev up into a DDT NO A BACK BODY DROP BY THE REVEREND! Reverend scoops him up, and a body slam. Scooping Kross up and a second body slam.
Kendra: Oh I see where this is going, he's dropping the Kross three times, and yep, there's the third body slam. A cover-
1!
Simon: Kross gets the shoulder up and now it's Reverend's turn to be frustrated. Reverend starting to his feet and Kross grabs his legs! Getting him down into a Figure 4! He's in trouble now.
Arvin: Kross didn't do nearly enough leg work to really break Rev with this, and he's wriggling his way to the ropes with little struggle. Kid breaking the hold gamely, oh it looks like Rev might actually be hobbling a little.
Kendra: The way he was wriggling out may have done more damage than the lock itself! Andra checking on him to make sure he's okay, Kross coming around to the ropes, hits the Springboard and KROSS OVER REVEREND PUSHES ANDRA IN THE WAY! KROSS JUST HIT THE KROSS OVER ON ANDRA JONES!
Simon: And Abner's hobble is healed. It's a miracle.
Kendra: This is not a match you can mess around with having no rules, someone needs to get in here-
Arvin: Erica looks like she'll fill in while Andra gets checked out by the medical team. Kross is steamed at the Reverend, but look, religious leaders sometimes make sacrifices for the greater good.
Kendra: Not my girl though. That's no good. Come on Kross, get him! And Kross coming in with several punches and that's switching up to Hammer Punches, bending Abner down enough to get him in prime Powerbomb position and boom! The Reverend is eating mat! Kid goes for the cover-
1!
2!
Simon: Reverend kicks. Kross pulling him up by the tie again, into a belly to belly. Oh, it looks like Andra is getting carried out, Kross looking over and I think he's feeling some regret. That's great and all but you gotta keep attention on the match!
Arvin: Reverend deftly taking enough time to toss Kross out of the ring! And Kross using the opportunity to apologize, why's Erica not counting-
Kendra: Reverend has her ear. Interesting. Concerning. And he appears to have his Gospel out. I don't think I love where this is going.
Simon: I think I agree with you. It appears Andra forgives him, she knew it was an accident, but the medical team is taking her to the back to check on her further. Kross nodding, going back into the ring AND HE'S BLASTED BY THE BIBLE! WAIT-NO!!
Simon: ERICA BLASTED KROSS WITH THE BIBLE! THE REVEREND JUST MADE A NEW CONVERT.
Kendra: And Reverend covers him, what an ignoble end to this match.
Erica: 1! 2! 3!
Reverend Abner Almighty wins by Pinfall!
Ash: Here is your winner, Reverend Abner Almighty!
Simon: This definitely was not how I envisioned us starting this show.
Colin: Erica, Erica, Erica. I don't know if you're aware of this but we have a no-tolerance policy now for referees making alliances. Stay as a valet of The Bored if you so desire, but you are no longer on the referee roster here at MAWL.
The crowd cheers as Colin salutes and walks backstage.
Kendra: Damn. Colin isn't here to play games, and justice in MAWL is swifter than it's ever been.
Arvin: Erica clearly was not expecting that, and I don't think the Bored was either.
Simon: No, it's pretty clear the Bored was counting on having a referee in their pockets. Hope the one victory against Kid Kross with no tangible reward was worth it, Reverend.
Kendra: Whatever happens from our main event tonight, Kid Kross is lined up to fight the winner of that match at Fallout. Had Reverend waited all of two months he would possibly have been able to get a championship out of the deal.
Arvin: He's made it clear he's not here for championships, he's here for The Message.
Simon: Well this situation certainly did not make his message more appealing.
Kendra: Indeed not. But let's switch gears, we have two fighters coming into the boat who have a history in previous feds, and now are hoping to finally get a good foot in the door. First, let's get our newest Referee out here, the very on point Eui Baek.
Arvin: You have to be a master craftsperson to get one over on Eui.
Simon: And now onto the match.
Ash: The following contest is scheduled for One Fall!
Crowd: One Fall!
Gold lights cover the entire arena. Pitta Power comes out to boos and acts as if he's conducting an orchestra.
Ash: First! From Torino, Italy, weighing 200 pounds, Pitta Power!
Pitta walks down continuing this conducting unabated.
Simon: Pitta fashions himself a Maserati of a human being. I'd say he's more of a Toyota personally. Dependable and sturdy, but I wouldn't be excited to fasten a belt around him.
Red Ghosts music plays. Red mist and red strobe lights. On the screen is a Pacman chasing the ghosts, but when it goes to eat the red ghost, the ghost pulls out a pistol and shoots Pacman, then blood runs and forms the word RED GHOST on the titantron. Red Ghost then comes out hyped, and ready for a fight.
He wields his red crowbar, and swings it around in a 360 circle, and then hangs it behind his neck with his arms holding each end. He makes his way to the ring without delay.
Ash: And his opponent! Representing Psycho Supremacy, from Waterford, Ireland, weighing 77 kilograms, RED GHOST!!
He places the crowbar near the steps. Side vaults up to the apron, and then dive rolls between the ropes. He poses on his knees, then stands up and does some fighting Irish boxing stances, and does some shadow boxing until the music stops.
Simon: It's been rare in MAWL that we've seen Ghost out here fighting by and for himself, but he's a cad with something to prove and he's looking to put the hurt on someone he knows well.
The bell rings!
Kendra: The second of our opening matches here, it's clear that Ghost and Pitta are looking to gain some momentum at MAWL.
Arvin: Pitta going in for the grapple and an immediate front slam to Ghost. Pitta going for a run, I personally would have just covered and made it a literal squash match, but Pitta with the bounce and return and going for a Splash - GHOST GHOSTS HIM! Rolling out of the way and Pitta belly flops! Ghost taking advantage with a quickness and giving a flurry of elbows to the back of the head. Kid's got speed.
Simon: And ring smarts too. Nero was smart to take him in, and while we don't get a ton of chance to see it, it's always impressive when we do. Ghost locks in a Rear Naked!
Kendra: Pitta's Power may prove a little too much for Ghost here, he's fighting to his feet and oh he's got them both up, PITTA CHARGES HIM INTO THE TURNBUCKLE! Ghost Sandwich! Wait, Ghost keeps himself in the corner, quick recovery, up to the middle turnbuckle and BULLDOG NO PITTA CATCHES HIM AND SIDEWALK SLAM! This time Pitta goes for the pin-
1!
2!
Arvin: Ghost with the shoulder up at 2, Pitta trying not to get too agitated by it, picking Ghost up and Ghost hits him with a high knee and a hip toss! Ghost gets himself up to the top turnbuckle, coming down with a hip press! The crowd actually getting behind Ghost a little, and here we go for a pin-
1!
2!
Simon: Pitta gets his shoulders up and pushes Ghost off. Ghost rolls back, Pitta up, Pitta with the Power Slap, GHOST DUCKS AND DODGES, OH DOWN ON THE GROUND, HE KIPS UP, DROPKICK TO PITTA'S STOMACH!
Kendra: And here he comes back around, an inverted huracanrana! RED HURRICANE! And...great...just great, the dog piss taunt.
Arvin: He's got the Crab locked in!! GHOST RIDER!!
Simon: Pitta is going down, trying to make it to the ropes, and Ghost pulls him back!! Pitta is on the struggle bus!! He's tapping!!!
Red Ghost wins by Submission!
Ash: Here is your winner, RED GHOST!
Red Ghost runs around the ring, and does ninja rolls, then jumps up to the top turnbuckle, and poses.
Simon: The true Ghost with the Most showing he shouldn't be underestimated or taken lightly.
Then he jumps out from the turnbuckle to the apron, and parkour flips off to the floor, collects his crowbar, and leaves up the ramp.
Kendra: And we're going to waste no time figuring out who's to face Ishani. In fact, time is the very theme of this next segment. Because speed is the name of the game we're not going to waste your time with full entrances, the winner will get that when they face Ishani in the main event. SO! LET'S GO!
Ash: The following selection of contests is our Beat the Clock Challenge! The goal will be to defeat your opponent in the fastest time. The first matchup will set the first goal. If you cannot beat the previously set time, your match will be over and considered a draw. At the end of the contest the fastest winner will go on to fight the Epoch Champion!
Physio Joker and JCM Ace enter from the two designated entrances.
Simon: Physio Joker has officially made the jump over to MAWL now and already he's put up in a match against one of our greats.
The bell rings!
Kendra: They start on a lockup...don't wanna waste too much time on this, and Joker overpowers Ace! Elbow shots to the back of Ace's head, he's really going in on it, that'll give you a head injury. JCM gives him a hard shove away and frees up some space, JCM takes advantage of the distance with a stiff punch.
Arvin: Joker returns with a fist of his own, JCM attempts to return the punch but Joker blocks and gets a second blow in, and pulls Ace in for a Ripcord Lariat! Ace back to his feet, taking a run 3RD AVE TO JOKER!!
1!
2!
3!
JCM Ace pins Physio Joker in 43 seconds!!
Kendra: JCM ACE JUST THREW THE GAUNTLET DOWN HARD. That was a slaughtering.
Simon: You thought that SM's survive one minute challenge was a difficult thing, this is going to be an absolute massacre. And I'm just receiving word that anyone who gets under a minute is going to get a chance in a one minute survival gauntlet against SM on the show the week before Fallout with implications for Graveyard Shift.
Arvin: So, 1 minute on the clock, 43 seconds to beat JCM's score, 1 minute or less for a gauntlet spot.
Kendra: Violet and Bettie locking up, Violet with an Irish Whip, Bettie off the ropes and Violet looking to wrap this quick with Bandit Country NO BETTIE DUCKS, COMING BACK AROUND AND VIOLET TRIES IT AGAIN BUT NO HAND FRONT FLIP OVER IT BY BETTIE YOU'RE WASTING PRECIOUS DAYLIGHT LARIAT BY BETTIE!
Simon: She calls that the Headline and the Headline is she's going for the pin-
1!
2!
3!
Broacast Bettie Jo wins in 0:16!!
Arvin: GAUNTLET MET AND EXCEEDED.
Kendra: If I were the other competitors, I'd-
Colin comes out with a mic. Unexpected, no music cues.
Colin: Alright, alright everyone. Let's take a breath. First of all, JCM Ace and Broadcast Bettie Jo, I ABSOLUTELY want to congratulate you on your tremendous wins. 43 seconds and 16 seconds, should absolutely be applauded. Give it up!
The crowd applauds, but there is some trepidation in it.
Kendra: And here's the power trip I knew was coming.
Colin: Now, here's what's going to happen. You're all already aware of the 1 Minute Gauntlet added stipulation and . But, by my calculations, we still have 12 matches in this Beat the Clock. As it is now, that means you'll all have 4 minutes total of this. That...doesn't sound very entertaining.
Arvin: So they're being punished for being too good? Smells like racism.
Colin: So Ishani's title match will now be a WHAT FOUR MATCH with the three best times going in! So Bettie and JCM you are all but guaranteed a title shot, unless three others can get under your times. For the fourth spot, the clock is essentially reset. Let's GO!
Kendra: I mean...I get it, 12 matches going by in a blink of an eye doesn't sound too fun.
Simon: True. Although if anyone can get under their times, it's not going to change the situation TOO much.
Kendra: These two know each other well. And to say no love lost is an understatement.
Arvin: And they'll effectively be the new pace setters, unless they can get under JCM's time then he'll once again be the one to beat.
Simon: The grapple up, DX reaches down to hook Slang's leg, Slang refusing to budge, DX pulling a bit harder to try to get Slang off his feet, Slang plants himself and reversal to a Fireman's Carry! We're going for a spin, DANG A SLANG SLAM! Slang wants to get in on the ground floor! Going for a pin
1!
Arvin: DX going for a roll-up reversal!
1!
Kendra: Slang pushes the roll-up back into his favor!! And Bettie Jo won't be threatened by this match.
1!
2!
3!
Slang Dang wins by Pinfall in 0:19!
Arvin: JCM Ace is back on the bubble.
Simon: Everyone is rising to the occasion deftly here. Also, if I were SM I'd be sweating bullets about this gauntlet.
Kendra: Alfos makes the run at Cellula and that's a huge mistake, Cellula takes him down with a huge Arm Drag and gets him in that Modified Cobra!! Taglio Della Gola!!!
Simon: A submission may also be a huge mistake here...if your opponent can withstand the hold long enough, you've screwed yourself out of this match.
Arvin: To your point, Bettie Jo is once again safe, and Alfos struggling to the ropes, battling through it, going to be a hard way to go, and Slang Dang is safe as well as Alfos is getting close to possibly breaking the hold, pushing trying to elbow through...Cellula has 10 seconds to get it done, 9, 8, 7 wait I think...Alfos is tapping! Cellula gets in there with six seconds to spare, and JCM has been edged out of the title match.
Cellula wins by Submission in 0:37!
Kendra: So far under Colin's shifting of the rules, everyone has for a moment at least ranked. Will these next two continue that trend or will they be the first to miss?
Simon: A match of Olympic proportions after Solrac had already beaten Ishani in an Olympic Rules Match a few weeks back.
Kendra: Solrac twists Screech's arm and a judo flip! Screech rolling away a little bit, create some distance but Solrac cuts that off with a sweep kick. Screech loves his rolls.
Simon: Sure does, Kendra! Rolling towards Solrac now and gets behind him, Tilt-A-Whirl Backbreaker! Wasted a few seconds on the flair there, hope it won't cause him too much problem. An angry stomp by Screech as we hit the 20 second mark, Broadcast and Slang remain safe, and he continues to go in on those angry stomps.
Arvin: I don't think Screech is aware of the time constraints, not a ton of alteration in his fighting style as he now hits Solrac with a fist drop. Solrac trips him up and to his feet, picking Screech up and trying to get him into the Fireman's Carry and Screech slips off! Screech tries to run off but Solrac gets his arm, ripcords him up to his shoulders and trying to get him in position, Screech wriggling a bit and Solrac straightening him out and Screech must be aware he isn't going to win this run and has successfully run out the clock on Solrac. Solrac won't be going to tonight's main event but he still has a shot at the Gauntlet as he HITS THE OLYMPIC SLAM!
1!
Kendra: SCREECH REVERSES THE ROLL-UP!
1!
2!
3!
Screech wins by Pinfall in :49.
Simon: Screech timed himself out of the main event, but got himself into the SM Gauntlet.
Kendra: This gauntlet is going to be INSANE. SM is getting himself into a real jam here.
Arvin: Ty wasting no time taking a run, oh Juan trying to take the rebound move and Ty ducks it, back around and Juan catches him into a back body NO Ty lands on his feet...going for the Springboard and Juan is prepared TY FAKES HIM OUT AND GAMENGIRI! All of that took about 12 seconds so he needs this pin to get him in the lead-
1!
2!
3!
Ty Neon Sky Lancer wins by Pinfall in :15!!
Simon: This beggars the question though, why isn't anyone kicking?
Kendra: We did have that pin reversal battle.
Simon: The ballad of Johnny Rivé goes through these two. And Axel gets Dusty up...he's holding him for effect but if you ask me it's a waste of time...UNION JACKHAMMER! And DUSTY GETS HIS FOOT ON THE ROPES!
Kendra: And Axel now wasting his time yelling at the fans, picks Dusty up into a sort of Glam Slam, slightly to the side and an Elevated Skull Crushing Finale!! SKULLTHORPE!!
Arvin: The fans got in his heads and he ran out his own clock, all he can hope now is to get into the Gauntlet. Going for the pin and Dusty to the ropes AGAIN before the 1 count!
Kendra: Crikey!
Simon: Axel pissed as they get to their feet, SPINEBUSTER BY MCGRAW! Axel holds onto McGraw's head as they both go down and throwing some heavy fists, holding onto that headlock as they get to their feet and hammer punches to the back of McGraw! DDT!!
Arvin: If Axel is going to make a move, he'd better make it now, and locking that Camel Clutch is NOT what I had in mind OH a hip press. Okay. Little better. Oh but Dusty up and a snap suplex. 10 seconds left, fellas!
Kendra: Axel going for the Spinebuster! Oh he nails it! Gotta make the cover now-
1!
Simon: DUSTY REVERSES!
1!
2!
Kendra: Axel gets the shoulder up and that's gonna do it!
Match ends in a Draw.
Simon: Dusty McGraw and Axel are the first to not even make it to the gauntlet.
Kendra: Dusty boots Axel out of the ring and I'm gonna go out on a limb and say they were more here for the fight. Which appears to be continuing as they make their way up the ramp.
Kendra: Rider blasts Mono with a dropkick! Mono to his feet, Storm with a Sunset Flip Powerbomb!! Going for the pin, Mono kicks.
Arvin: Rider not giving Mono the chance to get up, blasts him with an elbow drop and a pin attempt-Mono kicks again, and it's gotta be a Hail Mary Play at this point to get in on time! Off the ropes, going for a running frog splash! Too much momentum for the pin and Mono with a sweep kick and no main event for these folks.
Simon: Rider rolls back and to his feet, kip up dropkick by Mono! Mono starting to obtain momentum and flipping leg drop! Mono off the ropes as Rider tries to get to his feet again and MONO WITH THE REVERSE SLING BLADE! FLY BY! Going for the pin but Rider gets the shoulder up before one.
Kendra: Mono with a moonsault knee drop, Rider pushes him off and up to his feet, Release German!
Arvin: The release was I think the thing that's going to throw the chances here, Rider takes the run as fast as he can, Springboard and a Splash! But the clock has run out!
This match ends in a draw.
Simon: A sign of respect as Rider helps Mono out, they're not going to be able to claim any prizes or matches from this, but at least they're walking out.
Kendra: Gill hits a spinning lariat on Kratz and an elbow drop! Picking up Kratz and holding her up in a stalling vertical suplex... once again, wasting a little too much time, and into Spike Piledriver!! CHILL PILL!!
Arvin: This is not the time to chill! He goes for a pin, and Kratz kicks, and their shot at the Main Event is all but shot. Gill coming off the ropes, doing the little arm squiggle and an elbow drop to her ribcage! Up and here we go with Chill Pill Number 2! Going for the pin, Rose gets her leg on the ropes.
Simon: Quick elbow by Gill, Rose Norris-Kratz just not able to get a hit in, but stymying Gill at every turn. Gill with a huge snap powerslam and I think she might have just landed on her neck a little! Going for the pin-STYMIED AGAIN!
Kendra: She's trying to break his chill. But she needs to break him.
Arvin: AND A LOW BLOW BY ROSE NORRIS-KRATZ!! ELBOW DROP TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD. There is only 5 seconds left, she goes for the pin and he kicks right away.
Simon: This is less chill of him, Rose runs, she's making Danny chase her a little bit, running out the clock, he catches her with a clothesline but he's out of time.
The match ends in a draw.
Kendra: I'm trying to figure out the strategy of not fighting and instead focusing on frustrating Danny Gill.
Arvin: I'm sure we can find many reasons but for now let's move to our next pair of jilted partners.
Kendra: Chanty charges in and going for a stiff lariat, she should know better than that, Bianca catches the arm and brutal spin kick to the side of the head. She goes for a huge Chokeslam, going for a pin-
1!
Simon: Oh, and this looks like it's not gonna be a main event match for either of these two.
Arvin: Bionic elbow to the face to Chanty. Chanty grabs the elbow and double underhook DDT!! OH AND BIANCA ROLLS HER UP-Kick out!
Kendra: Bianca drives a hard right into her face, and a second for good measure.
Simon: Bianca picks her up and the lock-up OH CHANTY GETS HER HEAD AND BENDS BACKWARDS...AND SHE LAUNCHES FORWARDS WITH A CROSS RHODES VARIATION!!! THE RAINBOW ROADS!!! Going for a pin, oh Bianca gets her feet on to ropes! Chanty tries to pull her away into a roll-up pin, but she kicks again and laughs at her as time runs out.
The match ends in a draw.
Arvin: Chanty takes exception to the laughing and a tackle, out the ring they go! We've only got 5 more chances to get in on this!
Kendra: Thor and Boom have 19 seconds to obtain a spot. Thor with some strong punches to the face, he's scooping Harden up onto his shoulders...oh he's walking around with him, stop wasting time! MJOLNIR'S WRATH!!
1!
Arvin: Boom kicks! Thor may have frittered a little too much time. And the chance to get into the Main Event is all but lost here, Thor going for a Suplex, Boom keeping his feet planted, Boom Harden not giving into Thor's suplex and lifts himself for a Falcon Arrow! Thor rolls away and Harden catches him with a sprinting back elbow.
Simon: Harden with the shoulderbreaker, and he's looking to get into that Gauntlet. Thor quickly up, Spinebuster to Harden!! Harden quick to his feet, but Thor rattles his skull with a quick punch and deadlift powerslam! Harden struggling to get up, Thor helps him out with that but Harden reverses and SPINNING POWERBOMB BUT THE CLOCK HAS RUN OUT.
The match ends in a draw.
Kendra: I can understand people not getting the 19 seconds, but suddenly they lost their ability to wrap it up in under a minute.
Arvin: Heartbreaker's list was getting long, so at least he's feeling I'm sure some relief.
Simon: The Eye-Con coming in hot with a spinning neckbreaker! Krinj up to her feet and throws Correa into the corner!
Kendra: Oh, she props her up on the top turnbuckle! We already don't have time for this...she gets her in a bulldog, and takes the left arm, hooks it into...looks like she's making a lowercase e with this hold.
Arvin: Time seems to have already run out for placement in the main event, and now we're getting the... Oh geez... BULLDOGE.
Simon: And DOWN THEY GO! Krinj going for the pin, but Correa gets her foot easily on a rope before the ref can count.
Kendra: Iris gets herself outside to the apron to avoid Krinj's follow up attack, Krinj tries to pull her in with a suplex but Iris lands on her feet, going for a run, leapfrogging and a Facebuster!! Eyedrop!!
1!
2!
3!
Iris Correa wins by pinfall at 0:28.
Simon: Well, she won't be facing Ishani, but SM is going to have to worry about her.
Arvin: Meanwhile Krinj should have stayed her corny ass back in GHW.
Kendra: Speaking on GHW, our next two pairings are the callups after June 2.
Simon: Formiga takes a wild swing, Bosqua ducks and gets Terra up on her shoulders! With both people this fresh you better maintain a good control of this hold.
Kendra: Not to mention it takes time to set all this up, but the time she lands it, she'll have 4 seconds to pin- and DOWN THEY COME! QUEMA CONTROLADA!
1!
2!
3!
La Bosqua wins by Pinfall in 0:18!!
Simon: LA BOSQUA WITH 1 SECOND TO SPARE!! SHE WENT FROM ATTACKER OF SLOWMO TO GHW UPSTART TO CALL-UP AND NOW POSSIBLY TO CHAMPION IN A MATTER OF MONTHS!
Kendra: That Middle Rope Burning Hammer Quema Controlada, translated to Controlled Burn, is fast becoming a notorious night ender.
Simon: And you gotta feel for Slang Dang, who just got bumped from the title match by a second.
Arvin: Only two chances remain, which means it is officially impossible to bump Ty Neon Sky Lancer.
Kendra: This next one is actually a repeat of the end of the first Elimination Chamber on 6/2...Tao got the win then and Pinoy needed another step to get her as a result, but let's see if she can get her redemption.
Kendra: Pinoy with a quick punch to Tao. Tao looking to return the favor, Pinoy blocks it and a pair of jabs. Tao goes for the gut punch to switch it up.
Simon: Tao keeps his momentum with a headbutt. Tao tries another one and Pinoy weaves away, solid kick to the stomach, not looking good to get into the main event. Pinoy jumps up to hit a tilt-a-whirl headscissors!! And into the pin-
1!
Arvin: Tao kicks! And the main event is out of the question but maybe the gauntlet.
Simon: Pinoy off the ropes and a corkscrew dropkick to Tao! Following with a fist drop to keep pressure on, and here she comes with a springboard moonsault! Trying for the pin-no! He reverses the pin!
1!
Kendra: Pinoy kicks. It was a solid reversal by Tao. Tao and Pinoy to their feet, Tao going for the lariat, Matrix bend by Pinoy!! Pele Kick to the back of Tao's head and Pinoy gonna try for the pin, Tao reverses it again! And Pinoy kicks before the 1 and hits him with the Crucifix Driver!!
1!
Arvin: Tao kicks and I think that it's basically over, yep, the clock has hit 0.
The match ends in a draw.
Simon: It honestly did seem from the start that these two got too slow a beginning to be able to make it in time. So who's left?
Kendra: OH! Apparently two sought after Indie stars decided to make their mark here, and we're gonna have a surprise pair of debuts! Jeannie Rose and Wel-
Kendra: Who the Hell is the 2000s Oddities son-of-a-
Dedo steps out of the ring and hands Kendra a card.
Kendra: "Welsh Gav sends his regards and apologizes that he can't make it. Please accept Dedo Apestoso de la Muerte in his stead." Oh. Okay, well, I guess let's...see...what happens here.
Dedo enters the ring and the bell rings.
Simon: Dedo Apestoso enters the ring and a leap, Jeannie Rose catches him in a powerbomb!
1!
2!
3!
Jeannie Rose wins by Pinfall in :06!!
Simon: HOLY HELL!
Ash: The Beat the Clock Challenge has been completed! And competing in our main event tonight -
Ash: will be Broadcast Bettie Jo, Jeannie Rose, Ty Neon Sky Lancer, and your Epoch Champion, Ishani!
Simon: Jeannie Rose with a last minute six second win gets her into the title picture on her debut show.
Kendra: I have a feeling Dedo isn't going to take this lightly.
Arvin: I think there's a lot of people who are not going to be too happy, not the least of which being Physio Joker.
Simon: Well, things are just going to get more intense, so we keep it going with a match I know I've been waiting for since it was announced.
Kendra: Someone finally let Eradicus out of his cage, and this is going to be BRUTAL.
Ash: The following is a No Holds Barred Match and it is scheduled for One Fall!
Crowd: One Fall!!
The lights go out completely.
Black smoke rises as tribal drums and distant screams echo.
Black and Soldado appear with the black urn.
They raise it… and Abyss Breaker crawls out from the curtain.
Ash: REPRESENTING ANTI-SYSTEM, STANDING AT 6 FOOT 11 AND WEIGHING 352 POUNDS, ABYSS BREAKER!!
Red lights flash as he slowly walks.
In the center of the ring, he kneels, raises his arms… flames appear in the corners.
Kendra: You still with us, Arvin?
Arvin: I'm just dreaming of all the ways this freak can mangle Gozu.
Simon: Still. You're still on this.
Eradicus storms through to the ring.
Ash: AND HIS OPPONENT! REPRESENTING PSYCHO SUPREMACY, FROM THE GLADIATOR PROTOCOL, AT 6 FOOT 5 AND WEIGHING 330 POUNDS, ERADICUS!!
The bell rings!
Arvin: A true battle of gladiators about to occur, and like any good gladiator battle it's starting with a slugfest.
Simon: This match was originally just going to be a standard one on one, but there's no containing or controlling these two. Only getting out of the way.
Kendra: Eradicus I'm sure is not used to being the smaller of the two, but Abyss Breaker has half a foot on Eradicus and he's making use of it, Abyss lifting Eradicus up to meet him eye to eye and a huge headbutt! Another one! Eradicus actually looking vulnerable though refusing to show it on his face.
Arvin: A throat punch by Eradicus and Abyss's grasp starting to weaken, another one and Abyss letting go, uppercut by Eradicus! Abyss staggers back and a Spinning Heel Kick by Eradicus!!
Simon: For a big man, Eradicus is surprisingly quick and agile. I feel we're likely to see much more of this in this match from him. And here he goes, doesn't have to run far and a springboard into a dropkick on Breaker!
Kendra: Did you see how much the ropes dipped? Is this sustainable?
Arvin: I don't know, but it's telling that the most that has happened to Breaker is he's been pushed back a bit, still hasn't gone completely done.
Kendra: More to the point, Breaker waits for Eradicus to land on his feet and snap spinebuster!! The ring absolutely rattles.
Simon: Breaker lifting Eradicus up into a Powerslam hold, letting out a howl and I think we're going to get a Abyss Slam, wait he's waiting too long to do it and Eradicus grabs the ropes for leverage, Abyss trying to move him and he seems to just be moving the posts ONE OF THE POSTS IS COMING LOOSE!
Kendra: ERADICUS YANKS AND HE UNLATCHES ONE OF THE POSTS! THIS IS EXACTLY WHY THIS COULD NEVER NOT BE A NO HOLDS BARRED MATCH!
Arvin: People think that monsters are just big and dumb, but Eradicus using his brain as much as his power, pulls the pole to him! Gets it in hand and thwacks Abyss Breaker in the side with it!! Breaker lets him go, Eradicus using the turnbuckle post as a lead pipe! He's wailing on Breaker with the ring post!!
Simon: I would not try to do a top rope move right now. Eradicus using the ropes themselves now to try to choke out Breaker!
Arvin: Using his brain. This match looked like it was going to humanize Eradicus and it may just be making him even MORE of a threat. WHOA ABYSS BREAKER JUDO FLIPS ERADICUS!! THE MAT IS SHAKING NOW, AND THINGS ARE STARTING TO COME APART! ABYSS BREAKER HITS HIM WITH A DEADLIFT CHOKESLAM!! ABYSS BREAKER IS GOING TO TRY TO GO TO THE TOP ROPE ANYWAY WITH THE REMAINING ROPES, WHY DOES HE THINK THIS IS A GOOD IDEA ERADICUS PULLS THE ROPES FURTHER AND ABYSS BREAKER COLLAPSES TO THE GROUND!
Kendra: Eradicus runs from the mat and a Splash to Abyss Breaker on the ground! Eradicus just RIPPING the barricade up off the ground and smashes Abyss Breaker in the head with it! He's just using it like a chair.
Simon: These two haven't even attempted to pin each other yet. They're not looking for a win, they're looking to destroy. Abyss hits Eradicus in the stomach with a boot and Monkey Flips him right into the audience, they scatter just in time!
Arvin: And we're back to fisticuffs! Breaker just drilling fists into Eradicus's face, a solid combo and a huge boot to the stomach. Abyss Breaker gets Eradicus up by the throat and just charges...somewhere...where is he going OH THAT'S A WINDOW! ABYSS BREAKER TOSSES ERADICUS THROUGH THE WINDOW!! THEY'RE NOW ON THE OPEN DECK OF THE SHIP!!!
Simon: This is a historical artifact! We're already banned from too many places!!!
Kendra: ABYSS BREAKER YANKS A CANNON OUT OF THE GROUND AND JUST WALLOPS ERADICUS WITH IT! ERADICUS TUMBLES BACKWARDS!! ABYSS BREAKER GOING FOR A TOMAHAWK CHOP WITH THE CANNON AND ERADICUS ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY!!! ERADICUS HITS A HUGE GERMAN SUPLEX!!! HE'S CLIMBING UP TO ANOTHER LEVEL OF DECK, HE'S GOING TO TAKE A DIVE DOWN ONTO THE-
Kendra: JASSY GRABS ERADICUS'S LEG AND TRIPS HIM!! HE TUMBLES OFF THE DECK!!!
Simon: LUSTRESS JAMIE IS HERE!!! JASSY'S SISTER HAS NOW SHOWN HERSELF AND SHE'S IN PSYCHO SUPREMACY COLORS!!! I THINK WE MAY HAVE JUST GOTTEN A HINT TO THE TRIOS TITLE MATCH!!! And the sisters now tussling up top but Jassy may have just given this match to Abyss-
Arvin: DRESDEN LOW BLOWS ABYSS BREAKER!!! WE KNOW THAT TINO SABATELLI AND E.M.POWERED HAVE BEEN WORKING TOGETHER, AND THIS IS A GOOD WAY TO KEEP ABYSS FROM TINO'S MATCH!
Simon: This is absolute chaos! Diana Dresden now with the brass knuckles and drives Abyss Breaker down with a punch to the temple!!
Kendra: Both big men are down, and this in some ways has re-leveled the playing field. Eradicus would have been screwed had Dresden not stepped in, and Abyss would have been done for had Eradicus not been dropped.
Simon: I think the other thing to take away from this is that E.M.Powered and Zora Luthor International stuck their noses where they didn't belong and have drawn the ire of really, REALLY big men.
Arvin: You're not wrong. Both men to their feet now, and they're just picking back up where they left off, and going punch for punch, EXPLODER SUPLEX BY ERADICUS SENDING ABYSS BREAKER THROUGH A WALL INTO WHAT I CAN ONLY ASSUME IS A CONTROL ROOM.
Simon: This is most definitely going to be our last PPV on this ship or in anything in conjunction with the Navy of US or South Korea, and I fear for the costs of all this destruction. Abyss Breaker pulls a control board out and SMASHES IT OVER THE HEAD OF ERADICUS.
Kendra: Eradicus staggering back on the deck now, and Abyss Breaker charging with a big boot, ERADICUS CATCHES HIM AND EXPLODER SUPLEX OFF THE BOAT!!! ABYSS BREAKER HAS LANDED ON THE BASE ITSELF AND HERE COMES ERADICUS FROM THE RAILING, A FRONT FLIP LEG DROP!!! LEG DROP FROM HELL!!!! EUI BAEK HAS BEEN GAMELY FOLLOWING THE ACTION AND SHE'S MAKING THE COUNT FROM THE DECK!
1!
2!
3!
Eradicus beats Abyss Breaker by Pinfall!
Ash: Here is your winner, ERADICUS!!!
Simon: He is putting the Supremacy back in Psycho Supremacy. He overcame interference, falling off a level of a warship, getting put through a window, being hit with a cannon and a control board, while dealing with the Biggest Man on Madness.
Kendra: But you can't take this from Abyss Breaker either. He literally had to be thrown off a boat to be stopped.
Simon: Well, while we get the ring repaired, let's head over to The Brig, where Tino Sabatelli and Black Saber are about to battle it out in a Last Man Standing Match.
The camera follows Eui Baek into the Brig.
Eui: Now, you know the rules. Down until the count of 10, your opponent wins.
Both Black Saber and Tino Sabatelli nod assent.
Black Saber runs Tino into the wall of the Brig, and begins absolutely pummeling him. Saber punches Tino in the gut, the face, across the temple, just absolutely lays into every element of him.
Tino attempts to start punching back, and Black Saber whips him back into the wall. Saber drills him with repeated headbutt then whips him into the bars. Tino knees Saber in the stomach and lifts him up by his throat. He throws him with a two-handed choke toss and rattles him with a boot. Tino stomps the face of Saber and German Suplexes him into the Brig's Bunks. Eui begins the count-
1!

Saber gets up to his feet and Tino runs him into the wall, back where he first landed him. Steel starts to pop from the wall and fold a bit; Tino grabs Saber's face and runs it against the folded metal, slicing him open with it. He forearms Saber's face into the bent steel, increasing the gash. Tino bashes Saber's face repeatedly into the steel then presses his neck over a chain holding up a bunk.
Saber elbows him in the gut twice and spins around with a discus clothesline. Saber hits a front slam onto the bunk and crumples Tino down.

Tino arises to his feet with a spear tackle on Saber. Saber's head hits the bars and he goes down.

Tino gets back up and Saber staggers back, almost bumping into Eui but she catches him on the left shoulder blade to prevent that from happening. Tino hits Saber with a boot, and pulls him in for a Burning Hammer!

Leila Blake sits at her desk when she gets a knock at her door.
Leila: Come in.
Andra: Hey boss.
Leila: ANDRA! How are you feeling?
Andra: I'm actually feeling pretty okay, and if it's okay...I wouldn't mind getting back out there.
Leila: Are you sure you're up for it?
Andra: Absolutely.
Leila: Great! You're the top Ref and our Senior Official, and I'm absolutely thrilled you can return to finish this up.
Andra: Thanks boss!
Andra leaves, ecstatic. Leila turns to the woman in the seat we had not seen.
Leila: Of course, you've been amazing too. And you're also going to get paid for the full day, but if you don't mind terribly, Liana and E.M. are here and I could use the backup and protection. I couldn't turn either of them away - Liana is here supporting her daughter Bettie and E.M. does have her team in the tag title run tonight, but I really need the friendly face to balance things out. You know how they get.
Eui: Of course. You got it, sis.
Arvin: Wait...sis? Like sister?
Kendra: Yes. Blake was how her family Anglicized "Baek" when they came to the US. I guess this sister must have stayed behind.
Arvin: I mean, doesn't this whole thing reek of nepotism?
Simon: That argument can be made, sure, but you heard what Leila said... one of her sisters has already sided with E.M. He, and so a counterbalance is not a terrible idea. But, I'm glad that Andra is back up to calling the matches.
Kendra: Meanwhile, I think it's cool that we can officially get pumped up for MAWL III.
Simon: I've heard the DLC is STACKED and there's going to be retro capability? I don't know how that's going to work but I'm curious to see.
Arvin: I'm excited that I'm both announcer and base game.
Kendra: Aren't you rated like 81?
Arvin: 81 is a perfectly respectable rating.
Kendra: I mean yeah, look at Banana Ben. He's also an 81. I mean, Josh Hartnett IS an 82.
Arvin: You just love ruining things for me don't you.
Kendra: And Ellie Mae Marvel is an 83.
Arvin: Don't we have matches to call?
Simon: Okay grumpy pants.
Kendra: Don't you want to hear Gozu's rating?
Arvin: Shut up.
Ash: The following is a Fatal Four Corners Match! There are no disqualifications and elimination rules apply. The winners will go on to challenge for the Tag Team Titles AT FALLOUT!
The arena dims, and a hushed reverence fills the air as the haunting notes of "Ave Maria" begin to play, slow and measured, enveloping the crowd in an aura of grace and power. The opening chords echo throughout the arena, and the anticipation builds to a fever pitch.
First, Renaud Lavillenie steps out, his presence commanding the attention of the crowd. He’s dressed in his red, white, and blue singlet, the vibrant colors reflecting under the lights as he walks with the poise of a tactician about to engage in a battle of minds. His focused eyes pierce the crowd as he strides down the ramp, every movement calculated, as if he’s already assessing the ring and his opponent. The arena feels smaller, the air thicker with every step he takes. Reaching the ring, he climbs the steps, placing one hand on the ropes, preparing to enter the battlefield with military precision.
Moments later, Marion Bartoli, his partner, makes his entrance. Clad in a blue and gold singlet, his athletic frame exudes power and determination. His movements are composed and deliberate, like a chess player positioning their pieces for the final checkmate. The crowd watches in awe as Marion’s gaze never wavers from the ring, his mind always in control, calculating each move before it even happens. As he approaches the ring, his pace quickens ever so slightly, his confidence growing as he steps forward. Upon reaching the ring, he exchanges a silent nod with Renaud, the bond between them clear as they prepare to unleash their tactical mastery.
Ash: First!
You are about to be graced by the presence of one of the most tactical and precise teams to ever step into this ring…
With a combined weight of 455 pounds…
From Paris, France…
First, standing 6'4" tall, weighing 225 pounds, ‘The Master of Precision,’ RENAUD LAVILLENIE!
"And his partner, standing 6'3" tall, weighing 230 pounds, ‘The Art of Submission,’ MARION BARTOLI!
"Together, they are…
**LE LUTTEUR!
Simon: Well, at least for them there's some form of tag team work being done here. They may be able to show off some of their skills more fully than they would in say a rumble.
Together, they enter the ring, flowing into place with perfect symmetry. Renaud steps through the ropes first, then Marion follows, both men immediately setting their sights on the task ahead. As the music swells, they raise their arms in perfect unison, a display of excellence, discipline, and unity. The crowd stands in awe, knowing they’ve just witnessed the arrival of Le Lutteur—a team that embodies calculated brilliance and unstoppable focus.
The lights return to normal as "Ave Maria" fades, but the feeling of strategy and precision lingers in the air. The audience can feel it: Le Lutteur is ready to demonstrate that wrestling is as much about the mind as it is about the body.
The guitars fizz in as the drums signal a countdown on the titan tron. The lights get more and more fast paced in their flashing as the countdown gets closer to 0, culminating in the main guitar riff kicking in at which point Hyperspeed Halley Comet and Nitro Nova Cinder explode onto the stage.
Ash: NEXT! The team of Hyperspeed Halley Comet, Nitro Nova Cinder, WARPDRIVE!
They run down to the ring at full speed and do a stereo somersault over the ropes, clearing them entirely, causing plumes of fire to shoot from the turnbuckles.
Kendra: The energy that these two bring to the ring is undeniable, and a vast counterbalance to Lutteur.
Simon: This entire selection is a mish-mash of styles.
A burning X fills the Titan tron as Start The Shooting by A Day To Remember starts blasting. Dante steps out menacingly , like a bandit looking for trouble.
Victoria skips out behind him smiling and full of energy.
The duo stops at the top of the ramp as the Titan tron starts displaying ‘Watch your step’ in burning letters as the chorus plays. As they walk down the ramp in unison, pyro goes off on either side of the ramp with each step. After a few steps they stomp in unison, triggering the stage to fill with fire and have Red and silver sparks rain down above them.
Ash: AND! From Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Victoria Scythe and Dante Rivera, X-TREME SOCIETY!!
They walk down the ramp and to the ring, Dante jumping onto the apron and climbing through the ropes, Victoria running up the steps and climbs the turnbuckle posing and taunting. After she jumped down, the two stand in the center of the ring, Dante slowly removing his shades from his face. Their eyes fixed on the camera (or opponent). He tosses the shades to the side and the two stomps hard onto the mat together, setting off flames on all four corners of the ring and red sparks to rain down from above them.
Simon: They just went through hell and back with Nice and Normal, and now they're ready to move forward into hopefully a new vision for themselves.
El Gallito Loco comes charging in at full speed, flapping his wings.
-while Tortuga shuffles behind, waving slowly to the crowd.
Ash: And Finally! At a combined weight of 300 pounds, Tortuga de Acero and El Gallito Loco, Los Heroes de la Calle!!!
El Gallito runs back to drag Tortuga to the ring. Once inside, they pose dramatically, with El Gallito striking martial arts poses while Tortuga hides behind his "shell."
Simon: I get the sense that whatever lesson Gallito learned over time has been forgotten. But, they have had a taste of gold so let's see if the ring work shows a more developed and matured fighting style.
Arvin: I don't have high hopes for them.
The bell rings!
Kendra: We've got Victoria, Nova, Gallito, and Renaud in to start us off.
Simon: Gallito charging headfirst to get a Peck going, RENAUD TRIPS HIM AND HE'S GOT THE ACHILLES LOCK! THERE'S THAT PRECISION TARGETING! RENAUD IS LOOKING TO DINE ON CHICKEN THIGH!
Arvin: Told you.
El Gallito Loco is eliminated by Renaud Lavillenie!
Tortuga de Acero enters the match.
Kendra: Victoria working Nova in the corner, and pulls her out of the corner with a Belly to Belly and crashes into her with a Standing Moonsault!
Simon: Going for a pin-
1!
Arvin: Nova gets the shoulder up, Victoria comes off her. Nova takes the opening to hit a float-over neckbreaker and continues running, jumps to a front dropkick and hits Tortuga in the ribs! She climbs up to the middle rope and a leg drop to the back of Tortuga's neck! Renaud slides in and arm-locked dragon sleeper on Tortuga. VICTORIA CHARGES NOVA AND DROPS HER WITH A DDT!
Simon: Tortuga could be in trouble, he's the only one who has no one to tag. Victoria focusing now on Nova's legs, knee smash! Knee smash number two! And going for an Achilles Lock! Tortuga slowly getting to his feet...well, I guess normal speed for Tortuga...maybe even fast for Tortuga. Renaud going to push him back down but Tortuga using his strength to prevent Renaud from pushing him back down! BACK SUPLEX!
Kendra: Renaud trying to get to his feet, Marion tags in! Marion with a chop block to Tortuga!
Arvin: Best way to stop Tortuga, drop him on his shell.
Simon: Marion pulls him up and Regal Suplex!! Le Lutteur clearly want to get the former champs out of here! Going for a pin-
1!
Kendra: GALLITO RESCUES TORTUGA WITH A CRAZY COOP DIVE!! And Andra sends him back out!
Simon: Victoria intensifies the ankle lock, Halley Comet reaching out and a tag! Springboard Somersault Senton to Victoria!! DANTE IN WITH A BASEMENT CLOTHESLINE TO KNOCK COMET OFF VICTORIA AND BACK OUT TO THE APRON!
Arvin: Victoria tags Dante in, Tortuga still hasn't gotten off his back yet and Dante sees an opportunity, gets Tortuga by the ankle and TURTLE TOSS TO HALLEY COMET! KNOCKS HER RIGHT ON HER ASS, Marion tags Renaud and Dante kicks Tortuga in that direction, effectively a Turtle Toss at Renaud! Gets Renaud AND Marion down! Got the 7 10 Split!
Kendra: Smart play by Rivera, and he goes for a pin! Wait, what's E.M. doing here?
Arvin: She's blowing smoke at Nova and Nova's distracted! Comet stuck in the pin-
1!
2!
3!
Halley Comet is eliminated by Dante Rivera!
Simon: Gallito using the count to get Tortuga back in the ring and a cover to Renaud!! Andra turns around-
1!
2!
3!
Renaud Lavillenie is eliminated by Tortuga de Acero!
Arvin: Andra chasing Gallito to the back again, and He slips something to Cinder, wait, I'm confused, didn't she just greatly damage her chance at a tag title? Is she just causing chaos?
Kendra: I don't know, but Cinder is considering what she's been handed and BRASS KNUCKLES DANTE!
Kendra: The hell is He playing at? And now she pulls Victoria off the apron? Nova going for the pin and puts her ankles up on the ropes-
1!
2!
3!
Dante Rivera is eliminated by Nova Cinder!
Marion Bartoli and Victoria Scythe enter the match.
Arvin: Dante chases E.M. to the back, he's clearly pissed. Look at her run!
Kendra: The teams are down to 1 apiece.
Simon: And I get the sense that Nova's no longer fighting for her and Halley.
Arvin: I get the sense of that too. She may be finally shedding the dead weight.
Nova grabs a microphone.
Nova: That's right, Arvin. When I win, it's not going to be for me and that Discovery Zone looking Dumbshit. I think it's time to reintroduce myself. My name is Nova Bl-
Kendra: Victoria rolls her up from behind!

Nova Cin-Nova Bl-The Wrestler formerly known as Nova Cinder is eliminated by Victoria Scythe!

Ash: HERE ARE YOUR WINNERS, VICTORIA SCYTHE AND DANTE RIVERA, X-TREME SOCIETY!!
Simon: And FALLOUT IS ABOUT TO GET X-TREME!
Kendra: Even with Nova's cheap shot, X-Treme Society pulls off the win and they are looking at the increasing possibility of a tag title shot.
Arvin: There is a non-zero chance that those belts will be defended against E. M. He's coterie, and if that's the case, it may well not be the last time they encounter Nova, whom I assume is aligning herself with E. M. now.
Simon: In the interest of keeping it extreme, let's get to our HIGHLANDER MATCH.
Ash: The following contest is a HIGHLANDER MATCH! The only way to win is to bleed your opponent out to the extent where they are unable to continue the match!
Voice-Over: Wrestling only has one Heartbreaker.
SM comes out in his training gear.
Behind his back he pulls out a T-Shirt Cannon and begins shooting shirts into the crowd.
Ash: From Parts Unknown, weighing 205 pounds, the self-proclaimed "Face of MAWL", SM HEARTBREAKER!
Simon: I think that might be the T-Shirt Cannon from Mayday.
Arvin: I think I want one of those shirts.
Kendra: I can't say I disagree.
SM walks down the ring, occasionally firing a shirt into the crowd, but leaving a few loaded in the cannon.
Red fog bellows from the stage area. and purple fog falls from the rafters as 'Destroy Everything' by Hatebreed blasts. A sigil of The Psycho Supremacy floats on the Titantron. Images of blood-filled rivers, and burning trees flash on the screen also.
🎵 "ANEW LIFE BEGINS!" 🎵
The bass guitar and drums rage loud over the speakers.
The red spotlight begins to strobe in sync with the music.
🎵 "ARGGGGGGGGGHHH!" 🎵
Nero slowly steps through the fog wearing a white leather cloak. His shoulder spikes showing through the top.
He stands still at the top of the ramp, head lowered.
Ash: And his opponent! From the Scottish Highlands, weighing 300 pounds, PSYCHO! SUPREME! NEEEEERO!
🎵 "DESTROY EVERYTHING!" 🎵
Nero snaps his head up, one eye glowing purple, the other soulless. He extends both arms up and out to the sides as if commanding chaos.
He lets out a guttural roar as the fog dissipates, and red pyro explodes like a war-zone.
He walks with militant control.
Fans reach out, but he never acknowledges them.
Kendra: This would be a perfect opportunity for Nero to start building a base. He's warring against SM Heartbreaker. He's warring against Gozu. He's warring against ZLI. The fans seem to want to back him in all of these endeavors and he blows them off.
Simon: Nero is assured. He doesn't need the support of the fans. And since when do you care about the fans?
As he reaches the ringside, he ascends the steps, and enters the ring.
Nero walks to the center of the ring, kneels on one knee, and pounds the canvas. He then rises, and moves to the corner where he removes his cloak, and drapes it over the turnbuckle.
The bell rings!
Simon: Nero tossing SM across the ropes to get us started and catches him with a snap suplex. SM to his feet quickly and Nero shuts it down with a headbutt. Going for the stomp to the head and it's clear he wants blood and he wants blood now.
Kendra: Going for a murderer's row of headbutts and SM is just smiling like an asshole at him.
Arvin: That's his baseline smile.
Kendra: Like I said.
Simon: He's throwing fists at SM and SM catches the fist, Kick to the Dick! SM grabs Nero's head and a knee to the face! And a snap DDT! SM rolls out of the ring, going under the apron, he pulls a chair out!! Going classic on this, and up to the turnbuckle, coming down with a chair assisted senton NERO MOVES! SM TOOK A SEAT! Nero comes around with a boot to the head of SM.
Arvin: Nero trying to pull the chair out from SM, I think just get your own chair? SM just planting himself on that chair.
Kendra: You wouldn't expect that at a concert and you don't expect it here.
Simon: Nero giving up and going towards the apron, SM LAUNCHES THE CHAIR AT HIS HEAD! Nero staggers and SM runs him down with a bulldog.
Arvin: SM back out to the apron, and pulling Nero by his hair under the bottom rope, backing up and a SUPERKICK! Looking under the apron again, what fun toys are SM going to find now?
Kendra: He may not have time! Nero regaining consciousness and grabbing SM by the ears! SMASHING HIS HEAD INTO THE APRON!
Simon: He's the Supreme for a reason.
Arvin: Nero going hard with these repeated smashes and he takes a moment to yell at SM AND SM MISTS HIM IN THE EYES AND MOUTH! IT GOT FULLY IN HIS MOUTH! Nero's gag reflex is activated and it gives SM a chance to continue his shopping and a Barbied Wire Bat!
Simon: You mean, a Barbed Wire Bat?
Arvin: BARBIED Wire Bat. It's covered in barbed wire but it's a beautiful hot pink and glitter on the barbed wire. Spinning the bat around and UPPERCUT TO THE CHIN OF NERO! I think we see the first drop of blood!
Kendra: A little bit of a Negan bat spin and SM spikes it down on his head!
Simon: GET UP NERO!
Kendra: Those wounds are going to heal with glitter still in them.
Arvin: SM going for another swing and Nero moves! He's spent a lot of this match on the defensive, he's gotta get himself going. He grabs SM by the head and whips him into the post! I think SM is starting to get a little blood on the step, Nero to his feet, Nero clears the ropes and elbow to the back of SM's head!! More blood on the steps, not enough to stop the match.
Simon: The last times Nero was in this match, the Highlander Match, he literally had to have his head sandwiched in between steps to be beaten.
Kendra: Yeah, but that was God of War Nero, not iCondom Nero.
Simon: Nero grabs SM by the back of the neck, reverse chokeslam onto the steps and SM's blood is starting to spill a bit more freely. But he's not even close to giving up, SM with the back elbow to the gut, another elbow to the gut, and backing up enough for SM to drill him with a another superkick!! He spins around and onto SM's shoulders...DEATH VALLEY DRIIIIIVER!! SM PUTS HIM THROUGH THE LAOTIAN TABLE!!
Arvin: SM Heartbreaker rounds the corner outside the ring AND HE'S GOT THE T-SHIRT CANNON! THIS IS WHY HE SAVED THE SHIRTS! Waiting for Nero to get up and FIRE AWAY!!! NERO IS GETTING PUMMELED WITH OFFICIAL SM HEARTBREAKER MERCHANDISE™️! AND SM CHARGING HIM, PARKOUR OFF THE STEPS, DRIVES THE CANNON INTO THE SIDE OF NERO'S HEAD!!
Kendra: Nero seeing stars, and I don't mean TGIF! SM backs up, an Instrument of Destruction could really put this into hyperspace, going for the run and Nero with the flapjack onto the barricade!!! SM getting to his feet just barely, NEROLYZER PUSHES SM'S HEAD BACK INTO THE BARRICADE! NERO GETTING THE BAT AND GOING TO TOWN ON SM'S HEAD!
Simon: This was never going to be a match, this was always set to be a Public Execution, and it was just a matter of for whom.
Arvin: SM's face is more blood than skin right now, but he's STILL going! At what point does Andra just call this?
Kendra: They goes until they can't goes no more.
Simon: I imagine it's difficult for SM to see, and he's stumbling, but he goes for the Superkick...OOF misses wildly, WIIILDLY, NERO GETS HIM UP ONTO THE SHOULDERS AND RUNS HIS FACE INTO THE NO SM SLIDES DOWN AND CHARGES NERO'S FACE INTO THE POLE! BOTH OF THESE MEN ARE GOING TO NEED WINDSHIELD WIPERS!
Arvin: SM RUNNING FOR THE INSTRUMENT OF DESTRUCTION NERO GETS HIM UP AGAIN SM COMES DOWN WITH A LEG BULLDOG ONTO THE STEPS!! SM STRUGGLING TO THE APRON, GOING INTO THE RING TO RETRIEVE THE CHAIR, USING A SHIRT TO WIPE THE BLOOD FROM HIS EYES, OH HE'S GOT THE CHAIR AND HE'S GOING TO TRY THIS AGAIN!! TO THE TOP!!! SENTON!!!! HE SANDWICHES NERO'S HEAD BETWIXT THE CHAIR AND THE STAIRS!!! ANDRA CALLS FOR THE...NERO STOPS HER, HE GETS UP AND SAYS HE CAN STILL DO IT AND SM HITS HIM WITH THE INSTRUMENT OF DESTRUCTION! ANDRA CALLS FOR THE...NO! NERO SAYS HE'S STILL GOOD AND SM HITS HIM WITH THE SPIKED BAT UPSIDE THE HEAD!! ANDRA SAYS RING THE DAMN BELL! AND NERO REFUSES TO LET HER DO IT!!!!
Kendra: ERADICUS IS HERE! AND HE'S GOT THE STEPS WITH ONE HAND!!! AND HE PICKS UP SM HEARTBREAKER WITH ONE HAND!!! HE'S SMASHING THEM TOGETHER LIKE TOYS!!!! SM IS IN A WORLD OF HURT!!!! SM HEARTBREAKER SHOULD HAVE HAD THIS MATCH WON AND NOW ERADICUS HAS STOLEN IT FOR NERO!!!
Simon: Rules is rules, and SM Heartbreaker is out cold. Andra is beside herself by this turn of events. But she says ring. The damn. Bell.
Nero wins by Referee Stoppage!
Ash: Here...is your winner. PSYCHO! SUPREME! NERO!
Simon: Nero knew. Nero knew that as long as he could hold in there just long enough, that Supremacy would live up to its name. And Eradicus, true to form, came through. Hell of a dry cleaning bill for Andra Jones though.
Kendra: Nero collapses now into Eradicus's arms, he can get the rest Andra has been trying to give him, but he can do it with a sense of relief. This is the kind of day that Psycho Supremacy has needed to get back on their feet. Red Ghost won. Eradicus won. Nero won. If they can reclaim the Trios Titles from Jassy and the rest of ZLI, it's just going to be a clean sweep for the first time in a long time.
Arvin: While we get our cleaners out here to at the very least sanitize...all...this, let's see the lead up for our next match.
(Plato is outside Colin McRae’s Office. He knocks, enters and McRae is sitting behind his desk looking at his computer. He looks on at Plato with a stern look.)
CM : Plato.
VP : …………..(in a low voice) McRae!
(like Seinfeld and Newman, they have a tense exchange and stare at each other)
CM : I was in the middle of something, but how may I help you?
VP : See hear McRae, Plato needs answers to why you took away Plato privileges after Plato’s heroically won the title. Look Plato in the eye like a man and tell the truth cos Plato is furi………
GM : We’ve been through this already Vain. You interrupted a match you had no business being involved in then had the audacity to win said match by forcing the referee’s hand and then if that’s not enough you want to talk about privileges of a champion? How much do you want to insult my intelligence? There’s no jeopardy for you. I took them away cos you took the title from a deserving competitor and tried to injure him. You’re lucky I don’t fire you on the spot.
VP : Plato hasn’t been at MAWL for a hot minute and needed to make and impact for Plato’s brand. Plato wants gold around his waist like the Miami Cuban hanging around Plato’s beautiful neck. What you soiled is the greatest debut in Wrestling and for what, ethics and morals? You’re nothing more than a…………….
(…?) : (in an effeminate voice) walking crystal Ken Doll that’s been in the tanning booth too long.
(Plato glance to his right and sees a woman lounging on the sofa looking at a mirror content with its reflection not even turning to address Plato)
GM : As you can see, I was having a meeting with Imogen and you interrupted.
Imogen : I saw your body of work in Mexico and it was surprisingly decent.
VP: Plato knows it was as that is the greatest debut performance for a wrestler. You could learn a thing or two from Plato.
Imogen : I was talking about your plastic surgery and orange skin.
McRae frowns and pours himself a drink from a jug of water
VP : This ugly thing is looking into a mirror. Why ? Does she think she is Snow White? This witch of wrestling needs to know no ones is fairer across the land than Plato.
Imogen : Fairer? Not with that blonde football head full of estrogen and those chesticles……..look at the size of them!
McRae looks at his paperwork and nods his head disapprovingly at the banter.
VP : Chesticles ?
Imogen gets up and finally looks at Plato, walks towards him and grabs his pecs
Imogen : Moobs man, Moobs!!! How much collagen and steroids have you pumped into this defective body to get them like this?
Plato slaps her hand away and scowls
VP: Plato is all natural unlike you. Plato bets you’ve had more work done than a freeway. Look at those veneers, face tuck, that hourglass figure and faint stretch marks. Who did you give birth to, Godzilla?
Imogen : Before I forget, would you like my bra to tuck in your pecs?
McRae puts his head into his hands frustrated
Imogen : Now you listen to me, I am the Reflection of Perfection Imogen. There’s not a mark, even a speck of abnormality on this body and it is worshipped by my followers, the e…..
VP : Suffrages! Probably a bunch of feminists than are mad Plato is more beautiful and smells better than them.
Imogen : Yeah, Like a wet dog. My army of women are Zora Luthor International and each of them is the equivalent of a hundred men. They are the epitome of strength and beauty. No one can out wrestle my Agency.
VP : McRae, you need to keep an eye on this Posse of vagrants , maybe take them to the vet to get washed and neutered.
Imogen : Neutered? They females you fool!
VP : Exactly! Bitches!
McRae slams the table with his fists and stares at the arguing duo.
GM : ENOUGH! Your childish bickering has gone on for too long. I was trying to organize a match for Imogen to put her in the title picture and looking for an opponent and you seem to have some grievances for the title that you lost so lets make this a contenders match for the title. Vain Plato vs Imogen in a broken mirrors match where you have to put your opponent through a mirror to win and let me inform you Vain Plato, cheaters do not prosper and you will not circumvent the system again to profit. This is another chance and if you fail, you go back of the line and work your way up Mister.
VP : This……..This is unfair. Again, you are holding Plato down.
GM : I’m busy and have a terrible migraine, so please can the both of you leave, peacefully??
Both wrestlers turn and walk out of the office and shut the door, outside Imogen then turns to Vain Plato smiling
Imogen : Darling, be prepared as this isn’t a trip to the beauticians. I will put you through a thousand mirrors whilst broken shard reflects my beauty. There will be no escape and will see who the bitch really is. Good day to you plastic man.
Imogen pulls out a mirror, admire herself and walks off.
VP : Plato will reign supreme. Plato also must remember to hide his perfume from her. How can one person be so vainglorious?
Plato pulls out a mirror, admires himself and walks off.
Arvin: For two people so self-obsessed, their self-awareness is shockingly low.
Kendra: Game recognize game, eh, Arvin?
Arvin: What're you trying to say?
Kendra: Exactly.
Simon: Children, stop fighting. Let's leave that to the people in the ring.
Ash: The following contest is a Broken Mirrors Match! The only way to win is to use your opponent to break a mirror! And the winner will go on to face the Inferno Champion at Fallout!!
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, and currently residing in Las Vegas, weighing a Perfect 260 pounds, the Beautiful One, VAIN PLATO!
Plato turns his back to the crowd, the arena goes dark and a spotlight appears over him. 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: He is the most beautiful wrestler on the planet. Or at least the most beautiful man wrestler.
Simon: According to a poll conducted by him, with a sample size of him.
Backstage staff come out holding mirrors in a semi-circle and walk backwards, as Imogen preens and checks her reflection in each mirror.
Ash: And his opponent! Representing Zora Luthor International, from her 5th Ave Penthouse in New York City, the Reflection of Perfection, IMOGEN!!!
Kendra: She's gotten rid of that Freeform song and wants to be taken much more seriously.
Simon: They both do, and they could both start by paying attention to something other than themselves.
The mirror-bearers lead Imogen to the ring, her eyes never leaving herself until she gets to the apron at which point she claps and some of the mirror bearers create a ramp with the mirrors for her to walk up as she checks out her other angles. Two of them place mirrors down and help take off her fur coat, then she gets one last look at herself before they scurry.
Arvin: So all you need to do is break a large mirror with your opponent, and you win.
Simon: Right. But that would require them to do harm to a mirror. I just hope this match isn't them staring at each themselves for 10 minutes.
Kendra: They do actually fight. I've seen it.
The bell rings!
Arvin: Imogen with a giant slap to get us started. Vain Plato slaps back. Imogen goes double strength in retaliation, and the glasses come off Vain's face!
Kendra: Those glasses are worth more than your mother's life.
Simon: Not for long, Imogen picks them up and smashes them on the face of Plato! Oh, that aggravated him and he drives her flat with a Spinebuster. He picks her up and into a Gorilla Press Slam position, launches her out of the ring! Plato taking a moment to check himself in a mirror while Imogen is on the ground, make sure she didn't cut that chiseled face... Imogen coming up onto the apron, getting herself up with a Springboard does she not realize that Vain can literally see behind him?
Kendra: Apparently not, Vain runs backwards and knocks Imogen off the ropes, she tumbles but the roll doesn't have momentum enough to impact the mirror in any way. He tries to drop the mirror on her, she rolls out of the way and now it just goes down, he catches the mirror to prevent it breaking, she comes off the ropes and using the mirror as a ramp to drive Vain back with a front dropkick!!
Arvin: Vain tumbled back to the ropes, Imogen catches him with a boot and sends him out to the apron OH he guillotines her over that front rope, hits her with a superkick and she drops the mirror to not crash into it, but loses her own balance OH AND SHE CATCHES HERSELF BEFORE SHE FALLS ONTO IT.
Simon: You actually have to crack the mirror with your body to be eliminated, but it's not worth it to hope the impact isn't enough.
Kendra: Vain relying now on her attempt to keep herself bridged, going up onto the rope for a Shooting Star IMOGEN KANGAROO KICKS THE ROPES AND NOW IT'S VAIN WHO GOES DOWN, SHE BACKFLIPS AWAY AND HE FALLS OUT OF THE RING!
Arvin: Oh, that fall looked atrocious. Vain landed right on his shoulder blades.
Simon: She's taking a run now, it looks like she's going to try for a springboard move HE HOLDS UP A MIRROR!
Kendra: Did she think the only mirror is in the ring? Well, she tries to recalibrate now and she's able to just barely get her feet into a coffin position and avoid the glass. It pushes him back but she goes down half on the apron and half off.
Arvin: The fear of hitting the mirror is almost a better weapon in this match than the mirror itself. Vain trying to use the mirror as a chair but Imogen rolls away and trips him up!
Simon: Out on the floor now, Vain to his feet and trying for a superkick LOW BLOW BY IMOGEN AND VAIN GOES DOWN. Imogen Irish Whips Vain into the steps and he just flips over! She grabs the mirror and goes for it as a chair shot, HE TAKES A MIRROR AND BLOCKS HER! THERE'S ONE HERE TOO! It's a push battle but with the glass facing the glass not much is liable to come of this. They push the mirrors down to the ground, draw there, Imogen going for a leap off the steps VAIN CATCHES HER AND A SPINEBUSTER! HE SCOOPS HER UP AND A POWERSLAM ONTO THE STEPS!!
Kendra: In another world, these two would be the most arrogant couple in the universe. But now, Vain Plato is set to get an actual title shot. He sets up the mirror glass up and goes to the staircase, he locks her into the Pump Handle, and I think any effort by Imogen may be in vain.
Arvin: It looks like we're going to be seeing the Merchandise in play, and I think you may be right Kendra.
Simon: He's gotta get the swagger in first, the little Rick Rude swivel, the kisses to the girls, soak in that adoration...
Arvin: He's taking too long with it, Imogen is squirming....Oh I think his vanity will be his downfall IMOGEN ABLE TO FINAGLE INTO THE UNPRETTIER! LASTING IMPRESSION INTO THE MIRROR AND VAIN PLATO HAS JUST BEEN BOTH SMASHED AND PASSED.
Imogen wins by Mirror Smash!
Ash: Here is your winner, THE REFLECTION OF PERFECTION, IMOGEN!!!
Kendra: It's a good night...to have a good night.
Arvin: We've got one more title shot and then it's on to the belts themselves.
Ash: The following contest is a Submission Match with the winner facing the Eurasian Champion at FALLOUT!!
Lights go out before his music hits.
then the Pretender is blasted through the stadium with Yellow & Green lights floating over the crowd. When ready the lights will meet directly at the top of the crowd. Where Tyler is standing proud.
Ash: First, from Adelaide, Australia, weighing 220 pounds, TYLER HAYES!
He makes his way down through the crowd making sure to shake hands with anyone who wants it. He signs an autograph for a fan at the front of the barrier, jumps over the barricade and does a lap of the ring smacking the crowds hands as he comes around, he shakes hands with the commentators, slides into the ring and shakes hands with the ref, and leans back on to the turnbuckle waiting for his opponent.
Kendra: He's not been around quite as much but he doesn't seem to have lost a step.
Arena Lights go out, while heavy fog starts filling the entrance ramp, Wonderwolf's logo flashes over the screen, and an introductory video starts playing, as Wonderwolf makes his way to the ring with his entrance music.
Ash: And his opponent! From Amsterdam, Netherlands, weighing 200 pounds, WONDERWOLF!
The light go out and a spotlight hits the center of the ring where Wonderwolf is started howling. The fans howl along with him.
Simon: Wonderwolf also hasn't been around a ton recently, but this will be his chance to get back on the board. Either of these men could take a journey back towards the top, and it starts here tonight.
Hayes and Wolf shake hands to crowd cheers, then back up. The bell rings!
Kendra: They lock up, two absolute submission stars, and that's the only way to win this match. I'm expecting a technical fight here.
Arvin: Hayes has 20 pounds on Wolf, and it may not seem like a lot but it can definitely be a huge advantage. Hayes twists Wolf's arm into an armbar. Wolf fighting to break free from the armbar, flips himself around, and arm wringer flip to Hayes. Keeps the arms locked and pulls Hayes up, Fisherman DDT!
Simon: Wolf smart to not let go, can easily wrap that Fisherman into a Camel Clutch and that is in fact what Wolf is doing here, Hayes trying to power out.
Arvin: Do you go to the ropes, do you try to muscle your way up? What's the play if you're Hayes?
Kendra: I would try to power out. I would, if I had Hayes's muscle mass.
Simon: I think Hayes agrees with you, and there he goes, trying to muscle up, and running him now into the turnbuckle! Sandwiching Wonder, off the ropes he goes, up and around and a huge running powerslam!!!
Arvin: Hayes gets in an Arm-Locked Dragon Sleeper, and Wolf squirming, trying to get back on his feet, Hayes cranks him in tighter, Wolf fighting to the ropes, and barely gets there. Hayes lets him go, and they're back to their feet.
Kendra: Irish Whip by Hayes, Wolf slips under the clothesline, back around the back and locks in a Cobra Clutch, into the Cobra Clutch Suplex! Wonder going towards the head, it looks like he's going to lock in the Jaws! Has his legs firmly around Hayes' head, this could be the end of the road for Hayes if he can't get up....HAYES UP AND AN ELECTRIC CHAIR SUPLEX!! BUT HAYES HASN'T BROKEN THAT HOLD! HAYES TRYING TO GET TO THE ROPES. HE'S SO CLOSE, WONDERWOLF FLIPS OVER AND GETS HAYES AWAY FROM THE ROPES! HAYES CAN'T GET TO THE ROPES! HE TAPS!!
Wonderwolf wins by Submission!
Ash: HERE IS YOUR WINNER, WONDERWOLF!!
Kendra: And the Wolf is going back into play for a title, at the event sponsored by the game with the Two Wolves Edition. Wonderwolf is now officially in play for the Eurasian Title!!
Simon: And on titles, we've made it to the Title Portion of the night!!
The crowd goes wild.
Arvin: And now we're gonna see if Psycho Supremacy's Perfect Night continues or if it crashes on the shores of ZLI and the Great Defector.
Simon: We know that Jassy put an all-woman stipulation on this match, and we learned the identity of one of Bloodswan's partners.
Ash: The following Trios Match is a Falls Count Anywhere Match and it is scheduled for One Fall!
Crowd: One Fall!
Ash: AND it is for the Trios Title!
Fog fills the entire arena with searchlights flashing throughout. At each bass/drum thump a "building" erects around the entrance. As the synth gets a bit more frenetic, lights flash in a random and multi-colored pattern in the buildings, with ticker tape graphics snaking around the runners.
As the lyrics kick in, a stretch limo with "ZLI" pulls onto the stage. Out come the competitors for this match -
Ash: First! Representing Zora Luthor International, the Trios Champions, Psycho Killer Jassy, Philly Phortune Morgan Maverick, and Luxurious Lucenza Rossi!
The champs hold their titles up high.
The lights wane as a single bright spotlight shines on the entrance way. The opening chords of Bloodswan's theme song, 'Prelude in C-Sharp', a haunting melodic piano fills the arena. A hush falls over the crowd as Bloodswan emerges from the smoke, her face covered by a sinister looking white swan mask with a sharp pointed beak, and leather straps to hold the mask on.
The mask is something more akin to a horror movie, reminiscent of the movie Silence of the Lambs. She's clad in an all white dystopian leather attire, her blonde hair pulled back tight.
Ash: And their opponents! Representing Psycho Supremacy...from Moscow, Russia, BLOODSWAN!
Center stage Bloodswan does a reverence bow, then tiptoes on one leg, and does multiple fouetté turns, then she poses with a fifth position, arms above her head slightly curved coming together at the top. Her legs crossed. Afterwards, she starts to make her way to the ring. She steps elegantly. Once in the ring, she removes her mask, and places it under her corners turnbuckle. She straightens her 'Psycho Supremacy' branded head wrap, and looks poised at the hard camera, ready for her match.
Jassy looks pissed as Jamie walks out staring her down.
Ash: From the Gladiator Gambit Lab, the Lustress JAMIE HARRISON!
Simon: Jassy's sister is now officially in the title running and Jassy looks beside herself.
Kendra: And we still have no idea who the third person is.
Kendra: Oh wait a minute, I know this!! Arv, I think it's-
The lights in the arena shift, the energy in the arena increased, and as Titan Tron prepares to transition to the next part of the entrance. “Play” by Snow the Product begins to play. Maricela walks out with passion onto the stage, grooving to the music and interacting with the cheers coming from the crowd.
Ash: From Medillin Columbia, she is La Belleza Letal, The Lethal Beauty, Maricela!
Arvin: Oh yeah, we saw her in that rumble!
Simon: I've never seen Jassy this rattled. She is ON THE RUN.
Kendra: Dealing with your sister is enough, dealing with a ghost of the past is doubly sucky.
Maricela continues to relish in the high energy, and enjoy the high paced rap beat and lyrics.
The crowd joining in on the chorus;
We rolling up, holding drinks, let them haters hate (let them hate)
They know what's up, know we in here, they know we don't play (they know)
Don't play, don't play, don't play, don't play Don't play, d-d-don't play, don't play, don't play, don't play (hol' up)
Hol' up, wait a minute, make them scream 'n' shake (shake, shake)
We showing up, blowing up, tell my DJ hit play, hit play (hit play)
Hit play, hit play, hit play, hit play, hit play H-h-hit play, hit play, hit play, hit play (wake ya game up)
As Maricela makes her way into the ring, the music dies down, and fades out.
The bell rings!
Kendra: This match is a Falls Count Anywhere, which translates roughly to all-out brawl. Maricela and Jamie are giving chase to Jassy, and this was a somewhat solid plan except it leaves Bloodswan alone with Lucenza and Morgan.
Simon: Bloodswan isn't afraid! She ducks Lucenza's spin kick and Morgan's clothesline, hits Lucenza with the Russian Sickle Lariat and Morgan with a Spin Kick! She runs off the ropes, Lucenza and Morgan catch her with a back body drop SHE LANDS ON HER TOE - NOT HER FOOT, HER TOE - AND PIROUETTE KICK TO BOTH OF THEM!
Arvin: Jassy dodges Maricela and runs right into Jamie's lariat! Supremacy seems to be holding their own deftly. Jamie and Maricela with stereo head kicks to Jassy, Bloodswan with a huracanrana throwing Morgan into Lucenza!
Kendra: Bloodswan with a pin on Lucenza, but Morgan breaks it up before any count can be had. Morgan hits a powerslam on Bloodswan, but she rolls out of the way of a splash.
Simon: Jassy in serious trouble out on the floor, her sister is choking her out and Maricela is cheering it on...wait, does something feel off to you?
Arvin: I don't know that I've known Maricela to be that vicious, but when you line up with Psychos you take on their energy. And Jamie sticks her hands out, Maricela leaps off the hands into a Moonsault Knee Strike! Going for the pin-
1!
Simon: Jassy kicks out! She's throwing stiff punches to her sister! Maricela gets hold of her, punch to Maricela's gut!
Kendra: Morgan and Lucenza with a wishbone on Bloodswan!! They nearly split her in half!
Arvin: Jamie grabs Jassy and drops her into a German Suplex. No love lost between these sisters as Jamie goes for the pin-
1!
Simon: Jassy is made of wilier stuff than that! She rolls out into a bridging headlock on Jamie, Maricela breaks it up!!
Arvin: It's a bit interesting the parallel between Bloodswan and Jassy right now, two people who used to be Terror Twinning, and now they're both fighting off that damned numbers game. Jassy with a huge backbreaker to Jamie right now, and she puts the boot right to the face of Maricela!! Wait...what the-
Morgan Maverick grabs the microphone.
Morgan: I'm sorry...the match stipulation was that this was to be all women.
Jassy: Yeah so get outta here Rufie, ya bald bitch.
Morgan: Which leaves you two understaffed for this match. But, we're sporting. You need a replacement partner. Wouldn't want this to be unfair.
Jassy: Luckily, before I so wisely switched teams, I was generous enough to plan for this contingency. So, everyone please give a big round of applause for... Sue Primo!
"Sue Primo" gives high fives to a hesitant Jamie and Bloodswan.
Kendra: That was strangely magnanimous of them.
Simon: I don't buy it.
Arvin: I think you might be paranoid.
The bell rings. Jassy blows a kiss at "Sue Primo" who immediately falls down. Morgan and Lucenza lock up Bloodswan and Jamie while Jassy pins "Sue Primo."
1!
2!
3!
Simon: Oh am I now.
Zora Luthor International wins by Pinfall!
Ash: Here are your winners, and STILL champions, Jassy, Morgan Maverick, and Lucenza Rossi, ZORA LUTHOR INTERNATIONAL!
Arvin: And Sue Primo looks broken up over this!
Simon: Oh please.
Arvin: See how she has her hands on her head? She's inconsolable!
Kendra: Well Jamie and Bloodswan checking on this newcomer, I don't know that I'd get that close AND SUE PRIMO WITH A LOW BLOW KICK TO JAMIE! LOW BLOW KICK TO BLOODSWAN! YOU DON'T HAVE TO HAVE A PENIS FOR THAT TO HURT LIKE A MOTHER!
Simon: She's joining in ZLI's celebration because OF COURSE she is. And the mask comes off and it's...
Simon: KIRA DAIN??? KIRA DAIN HAS JOINED ZLI??
Kendra: That does appear to be what's happening. And Zora is really seeping into the history of this company, as Psycho Supremacy's perfect night comes to a crashing halt.
Arvin: And Kira's star begins to rise in the debris of that crash.
Simon: Both ZLI and E.M. have been doing a lot of recruiting, hopefully this next match will end the night of at least one of these organizations.
Ash: The following tag contest is a 2 out of 3 Falls Match and it is for the Tag Team Titles!
Led out by E.M. He, Diana Dresden and Celeste strike model poses at the stage.
Ash: First, the challengers! Accompanied by E.M. He, Diana Dresden and Celeste, E.M. POWERED!!
Diana and Celeste sneer and reject the fans as they walk down the ramp.
Simon: E.M.'s goal of regaining power and influence here would certainly be moved along if they were to win this match.
Arvin: She's so far succeeded in preventing WarpDrive from potentially facing the winners of this match.
Simon: Well, now they have to worry about X-Treme Society peeking around the corner. Dante's already livid with E.M. He and it would be a powder keg if they were to face each other for belts.
Kendra: You can see that E.M. looks a little unhappy to see Andra. Didn't like that Andra sent her to the back, doesn't like being told what to do.
Simon: Is she really surprised by this? I know Frequency rotates out their refs, and honestly it's not a terrible idea, but Andra is out here as long as she's good.
They throw their heads back and enter the ring.
Black and Gold Smoke fill the arena with white lights cutting through it as Sombras and Superstar Davy Boy hold their belts up.
Ash: AND THE CHAMPIONS! Superstar Davy Boy! Sombras! LA SANGRE MALDITA!!!
The champs walk down the ramp as the lights create a form of threat.
Kendra: And they've lost Mal Sangre. And they've lost Ralph Silva. And they've more than likely lost Tragedeigh. Yet the two of them, somehow, despite their differences continue to stand tall and hold the name.
The bell rings!
Simon: Superstar and Celeste to start, and in with a lock-up. Davy twisting Celeste back and recoils her into a Russian Leg Sweep! Davy keeping the pressure and pulls Celeste up into a Sidewalk Slam! Davy going for a pin but Celeste breaks out before a 1. Davy undeterred and mounted punches to Celeste, and she gets him off her with a Monkey Flip.
Kendra: Celeste takes herself off the rope and she's going for a Spear right now OH but Davy goes full Matador and sidesteps, Celeste to the outside! Celeste getting herself back up to the apron before the count starts, Davy goes for the Boot but Celeste leapfrogs him and rolls behind him, Back Suplex to Davy! Celeste pulls Davy to the corner and tag in to Diana. Diana and Celeste foot choke Davy out in the corner, Andra looking like she's about to go for the count so they just step away from the corner and Diana with a corner stomp out on Davy. Diana going for the Irish Whip, Davy reverses and redirects Diana towards his corner, Diana catches herself before she hits the corner and backflips away from Sombras, Davy charges Diana but she gets him with a drop toe hold and his head hits the middle turnbuckle!
Arvin: Sombras tags himself in and front dropkicks Diana through the ropes, catches her right in the gut, springboards himself into a Sunset Flip Powerbomb and going for a pin-
1!
Kendra: Diana rocks forward into a pin of her own-
1!
Simon: And Davy boots Diana through the ropes and she rolls back, breaking up the pin. Sombras pulling his tricks and coming up behind Diana with a Snapmare, hooks the leg for the press pin but Diana gets the shoulder up before a 1, Sombras with a headbutt!
Kendra: It makes sense that both teams are trying to get one fall in the drink, that advantage is so important in a 2 out of 3 falls match. Diana pushes Sombras off her with a Monkey Flip but he lands on his feet! Jumping elbow drop before she can get up and going for a pin again, no, Diana rolls it into a sleeperhold, but a rushed and sloppy application of it and easily broken by Sombras.
Arvin: If I were Diana I'd tag right about now.
Simon: If you were Diana you'd have tagged the second you got hit.
Kendra: I hate to say that I'd agree with Arvin though, you have to pace yourself better than this. One of Dresden's faults is her ego, where she sometimes doesn't take stock of the idea that she's in a team. And Diana clearly agrees too, she goes for the tag SOMBRAS POPS IN FROM THE OTHER END AND BASEMENT DROPKICK PUSHES DIANA BACK TO THE CENTER!
Arvin: This is one of the reasons that Sombras is so effective in a team scenario. His absolute ability to be exactly where you least want him to be stymies so many tag attempts and cuts the ring.
Simon: Sombras up to the top, and I think he's going for that Mushroom Stomp! Coming down and Celeste pulls Diana out of harm's way! Sombras lands on his feet catching nothing and Celeste tags herself in! CELESTE DRIVES SOMBRAS TO THE MAT WITH AN ABSOLUTE MASTERCLASS OF A SPEAR AND SOMBRAS SENT TUMBLING BACK! Davy Boy able to reach and tags himself in, up to the top OH ARE WE GETTING THE 360 ELBOW HELL YEAH HERE WE GO 360 ELBOW TO CELESTE'S HEAD AND A KNEE SHOT!!! LA POP!!! GOING FOR THE PIN-
1!
2!
Kendra: DIANA BREAKS IT UP WITH THE 630!!!! SHE'S STILL GET THAT DINO IN HER, BRINGING THE METEOR DOWN!
Arvin: Sombras surveying the situation, everyone else laid out, up to the top AND SILENT CURSE TO DIANA! BACK TO THE TOP, SILENT CURSE TO CELESTE!!
Simon: Sombras smacks Superstar on the cheek and Superstar Davy Boy getting motion going, he plops himself in on Celeste and the pin-
1!
2!
3!
First fall goes to La Sangre Maldita!
Kendra: Andra won't let this continued cover bleed over into the second fall. She's telling Superstar to get up and leading him to his corner. She leads Celeste to her corner. And re-rings the bell.
Simon: See, that's good. It would have been a crap match if just getting a six-count was enough to win. Diana still splayed in the ring, just starting to get herself up, but Sombras is ready to go and tags himself in. Sombras tosses Diana out of the ring, and quick chops to Celeste in the corner, kicks to the midsection, Celeste grabs the leg and flips Sombras back, AND SPEAR! Going for the pin, but wait, where's Sombras?
Arvin: He's always doing this shit! Out to apron, Going up for the Springboard, DIANA PULLS THE TOP ROPE! This doesn't even seem entirely intentional so much as she's trying to get to her feet but damned if it didn't have some real benefit, CELESTE HITS HIM WITH A POWERBOMB! CELESTE TAGS IN DIANA, DIANA PULLS SOMBRAS UP INTO A DOUBLE UNDERHOOK DDT!! HOME REXER!!!
1!
2!
3!
Second Fall goes to E.M. Powered!
Simon: Diana trying to keep the pin going, Andra reminds that she's not going to count the same pin twice, Diana gets in her face and is giving her hell about it, Sombras with the roll-up!!
1!
2!
3!
FINALL FALL TO SOMBRAS! LA SANGRE RETAINS!
Ash: Here are your winners, AND STILL TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS, Sombras and Superstar Davy Boy, LA SANGRE MALDITA!
Kendra: A solid retaining by the champs, and with a clean win too. An actual show of grit and determination.
Simon: X-Treme Society is going to be dealing with the insane chemistry of Davy and Sombras.
Arvin: It's been a night of propulsive action, and now we are about to hit the home stretch, the singles belts.
Kendra: Let's....GOOOO!
Ash: The following contest is a Casket Match and it is for the Eurasian Title!
Simon: I'm curious to see which version of Daniel we get.
Kendra: I think that they've been more in tune with each other, like Daniel can call upon the mask when he needs it more now rather than it being a battle for control. If that's true, Aggie may be walking into an unofficial Handicap Match.
Loud-repeating booms fills the arena with big letter ‘D’ showing up in the titantron before it changes to ‘Daniel’
Daniel walks slowly in his long coat through the ramp down to the ring.
Ash: The challenger! From Moultrie County, Illinois, weighing in at 284 pounds, DANIEL!!!
His eyes are fixed and focused, locking on to his opponent. 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.
Arvin: His eyes are focused exactly where they need to be. This is maybe going to sound nuts, but I'm actually going to say a match like this, you want to have Daniel up front rather than Dark Hand. Because you have to get your opponent in the box and close the lid completely. You can't just put them through the top, you can't just end them with relentless brutality, there has to be focus and a constant awareness both of the steps you need to take and the action before you.
The Lights flicker, fog surrounds the arena and then the lights go out. As the fans wait with anticipation the lights flicker once and come back on with Aggie standing in the center of the ring with the Eurasian Title.
Ash: AND THE CHAMPION! At 6 foot 11 and 310 pounds, he is the EURASIAN CHAMPION, AGGIE THE CLOWN PRINCE OF HELL!
As he raises his hands and the belt up and thrusts them down one electrical bolt flashes across the upper part of the arena and he laughs demonically staring across the ring.
Simon: And the Eurasian Title got a glow-up, I like the new red belt.
Kendra: Daniel not at all thrown by Aggie's antics or size, there's an intimidation factor often associated with these darker fighters, your Rades, your Breakers, your Elis, your Stitcheses, your Eradicii, your Aggies, and that little mental game gives you an easy one-up on most stars, but Daniel's attitude is, I see much worse in my own head.
The bell rings!
Simon: Aggie has 8 inches and 26 pounds on Daniel and is trying to ratchet the intimidation factor up by slowly approaching Daniel and staring down at him, unflinching and only the slightest and slowest head tilts. Daniel stepping up to him as well, and Daniel going in with a series of midsection punches! He's taking a speedbag approach! Working Aggie's ribcage and Aggie with a headbutt to send him back a step, a boot to tumble Daniel all the way back.
Arvin: Daniel rushes back in, that doesn't seem too intelligent and Aggie going back for the boot, Daniel ducks and a shoulder tackle! Aggie staggers a little, Daniel gets a German Suplex!!
Kendra: Being able to get Aggie onto the mat is going to be necessary to getting him in the casket, and he has to get him doubled over more than he would a usual opponent for things like Powerbombs. Daniel smart and taking advantage of the time he has, DEADLIFT POWERBOMB!! Daniel starting to roll Aggie, Aggie cuts the roll and a from the grave choke grab to Daniel!
Simon: He has the throat grab and Aggie rising to his feet, and taking Daniel off his feet...this would give most people pause, but again Daniel battles demons in his own head that loom larger than Aggie could ever hope to. And Aggie tosses him to the other side of the ring and he rolls over the casket but the impassive look on his face has not shifted.
Arvin: This eerie calm, this calculating mentality, this is what Daniel needs to win. He might find a temptation to take out the mask, and I wouldn't do it. The mask may bring out strength and speed and freneticism, what it doesn't do is act as a Mario Invincibility Star, and the body is still a human vessel.
Simon: Exactly. A lot of people think they become literal gods and act with seeming impunity, but no one is unbreakable. We even saw this earlier when Abyss Breaker was tossed off the boat. When Nero's body begged him to give up and he just barely held on until the bell rang. Aggie is just stalking his way to Daniel now, on the unrelenting hunt.
Arvin: So I did say don't use the mask...however a weapon might not be a bad idea.
Kendra: I agree but Daniel doesn't seem to see the need for it, Daniel standing firm, look unchanging, body unmoving. Aggie steps over the ropes, right leg first and Daniel hits a running clothesline on the left leg!! He just swept Aggie off his feet and Aggie hits the apron!! The Clown tumbles down!!
Simon: Daniel opening the casket, I think he's going to consider trying to put Aggie in oh no turn around AGGIE BLASTS HIM WITH A SUPERKICK! DANIEL JUST GOT BACK FLIPPED WITH THAT FOOT! THAT RUNG DANIEL'S BELL!
Arvin: Aggie stalking over to Daniel, Aggie picks him up by the throat and elevated choke!! Daniel trying to keep stoic but that's much harder when you are getting the air taken out of your lungs, when you're being summarily deflated.
Kendra: Daniel's been holding off for a good while, but he's fishing inside his pockets and pulling out the mask!!! The door is open and now he's about to try to walk through it and AGGIE WITH THE MANDIBLE! AGGIE TRYING TO BLOCK THE MASK FROM COMING DOWN AND DANIEL IS ACTUALLY STARTING TO FLAIL!
Simon: Of course he is! That's two points of air that Aggie is now blockading! Daniel kicking harder and harder to try to get him to let go, there's no disqualification here so Aggie can keep this going, this could be a real burial at this point, Daniel in a move of desperation bites down on the fingers!! AGGIE LETS GO! DANIEL PUTS THE MASK ON!!
Kendra: DARK HAND WITH A LIGHTNING FAST SPEAR AND HE DRIVES AGGIE STRAIGHT TO THE GROUND!!! HE TEARS UP A PIECE OF MAT AND NOW JUST SLAMMING AGGIE'S HEAD AGAINST THAT EXPOSED FLOOR!! I DON'T KNOW WHICH OF THEIR LAUGHS IS MORE DISTURBING RIGHT ABOUT NOW!! POWERSLAM TO AGGIE!! SCOOP SLAM TO AGGIE!!! AND YES, A CHOKESLAM! ANOTHER CHOKESLAM! AGGIE IS GETTING A HOLY WRATH AND IT IS GLORIOUS!!!
Simon: You ready to admit you're wrong, Arvin?
Arvin: This is great and all but if my recollection serves, the last time the Mask came out during a casket match, a hole was put through the casket lid and it didn't count until some woodwork and hole patching was done.
Simon: Dark Hand continuing the assault and ending it with a Guerilla Press right into the Coffin!! Dark Hand...takes the mask off. I think he remembers it too.
Kendra: Daniel going to close the lid and it looks like he might get it on the first try WAIT A MINUTE AGGIE POPPING UP AND PULLING DANIEL IN WITH THE MANDIBLE CLAW!! AGGIE MAY BE GETTING THE LAST LAUGH!!! DANIEL BEING PULLED IN LIKE IT'S A BLACK HOLE!!!
Arvin: See? The mask was a bad idea. Even when he knows enough to take it off, the time it takes to do so zaps the momentum and gives Aggie the chance to shift the tide.
Simon: The two of them now battling inside the casket! Daniel trying desperately to punch Aggie off him, trying to get the Last Laugh broken! They're trying to shift, each trying to get the momentum, and now they're side by side and this is an awkward position! I think they might be stuck!!
Kendra: One of them has to get out of this casket and close the damn lid! But they're sandwiched in there, and I think this also means that Aggie is actually having trouble releasing the hold, trouble moving his arm, Daniel biting on the fingers once again to release and Aggie clearly WANTS to, he just is struggling with it.
Arvin: I don't think I've ever seen this happen in a casket match!
Commotion is heard rumbling at the entrance, as two figures come battling each other from the entrance. More accurately, Nova is doing most of the beating, as she tosses Halle to the edge of the stage, then Irish Whips her into a Barricade! She doesn't even look angry.
Kendra: And it seems like we've got a lot more commotion here than expected! Nova is beating the HELL out of her recently uncoupled partner!!
Simon: We can't lose focus here, as exciting as this is, Daniel looks like he might be getting a hand up on Aggie!! I see Daniel's hand, now I see Aggie's hand, I think he finally freed it from the mouth of Daniel, so we got two hands out of the casket, just not from the same person OH NOVA WHIPS HALLEY INTO THE CASKET SIDE WITH MACH 1 FORCE AND THEIR HANDS GO DOWN AGAIN! THE LID CLOSES ON THEIR HANDS BUT IT'S NOT FULLY CLOSED!
Arvin: Halley finally getting some offense in, tosses Nova over the casket into the ring, OOH that closes it on their hands even more but we still have that little sliver of air. Daniel and Aggie may need to work together for a moment to get out of this situation as a second match has broken out inside the ring!
More commotion is heard at the apron, as two more figures emerge.
Simon: Have these two been battling since the debacle with the Beat the Clock?
Kendra: Looks like they took breaks for Bahn Mis and merchandise, but basically yeah.
Arvin: Daniel and Aggie are starting to push the casket open, they're actually working together at least for this moment NOVA POISON RANAS HALLEY OVER THE ROPES AND SHE BUMPS THE CASKET LID CLOSED FOR JUST A MOMENT! Good lord!
Simon: The two ancillary battles are heading towards each other and DANIEL AND AGGIE FINALLY STARTING TO EMERGE FROM THE CASKETS! I SEE HEADS! I SEE ARMS! THEY'RE BACK TO THROWING PUNCHES AT EACH OTHER JCM SPEARS JOKER INTO THE SIDE OF THE CASKET AND THE LID COMES BACK DOWN!
Kendra: I don't think I can handle any more OH COME ON.
Arvin: Bloodswan and Kira Dain have entered the chat!
Simon: Kira Dain's defection to ZLI cost Bloodswan yet another Trios Title, and Bloodswan is NOT. HAVING. IT. We've now got 4 separate battles happening here in this arena!! Swan just absolutely beating the hell out of Kira!! It's all converging in one direction, Kira fighting back with all she's got now, pulling at Bloodswan's hair. Physio Joker hitting hammer fists in the face of JCM. Halley and Nova going kick for kick with each other.
Arvin: JOKER LIFTS JCM ACE UP INTO A POWERBOMB HOLD! KIRA LIFTING BLOODSWAN INTO A POWERBOMB HOLD! NOVA HOLDING HALLEY INTO A POWERBOMB HOLD! THREE PEOPLE INDIVIDUALLY HAVING THE SAME IDEA...AND I THINK THEY JUST NOTICED IT....ALL OF THEM NOW WITHIN SPITTING DISTANCE OF THE CASKET, COUNTING - 1! 2! 3! THREE POWERBOMBS LAUNCHED ON THE ROOF OF THE CASKET!!! AND THAT LID IS NOT OPENING!!!
Simon: Wait..hold on...do we have three champions? 6 champions? NO Champions? WHAT HAPPENS NOW?
Colin comes down to the ring.
Kendra: I never thought I'd be so happy to see Colin. Figure this out man.
Colin: Alright alright everyone, I never thought I'd say this in a wrestling show but I need you all to stop fighting for one minute. We've got two people getting too close for comfort in that casket. Come on, come on, everybody up. Let's go.
Arvin: Oh he's got Dad voice going.
Colin: This is a fine clusterfuck we've gotten ourselves into. This match was supposed to be Aggie and Daniel for the belt, and the chaos rendered that undone. So the question is, what the hell to do. Usually when chaos of this sort happens, the match gets thrown out as a no contest, and technically for stats purposes that is what this will end up being.
The crowd boos.
Colin: BUUUUUT. Technically, the match is won when the casket is shut. And that DID happen. So for all intents and purposes a winner could hypothetically be crowned. But - not counting the two people in this match originally, six of you could lay claim to that, right? Technically the bodies that closed the casket were Bloodswan, JCM Ace, and Halley Comet. BUT, they were used as projectiles to do so unintentionally by Kira, Nova, and Physio Joker. If we look at this from an interference standpoint, as happens in these times, the official match participant not closed in is the winner, and since both of you were closed in, both of you were winner AND loser. What to do, what to do.
Chants of "Restart! Restart!" pipe in.
Colin: So we're not gonna do that. Typically, in situations like this...well not exactly this...it would be a Champion's Advantage and Aggie would walk away still holding the belt.
BUUUUUUT.
This is our final big stop before our biggest event of the year. So, we're gonna have some fun here.
I am declaring the title temporarily vacated.
Simon: WHAT???
Kendra: Fun for whom exactly?
Colin: All 8 of you will vie for the Championship in an 8-Person Elimination Chamber Match.
The crowd pops.
Colin: The winner of that match will be the new champion, and will immediately defend against Wonderwolf, who earned his shot.
Kendra: Okay, you know what? This actually could be fun. In a manner of speaking.
Simon: Never mind the fact that we have a vacant title for a month. But these things happen, I suppose. Hopefully the chaos of our final 4 matches is chaos that's...I don't want to say less chaotic....differently chaotic? Chaotic in action rather than result.
Arvin: Well there's only one way to find out. Our next match is MAKI trying to get the title back from Aiko.
Kendra: And our champ is going into this next match at a disadvantage...as we've seen in the past few weeks, MAKI damaged Aiko's eyesight during Aiko's title celebration, and she's still not fully healed. From what I've been told, many of Aiko's friends from that event have been pretty successful in holding off the Birds and TM Ichiban, barricading them in the Brig.
Simon: And this fight is going to be down at the deck, as it's a Lifeboat Match. Let's follow Andra as she heads down to the deck to get this match in motion.
Andra walks her way down from the main part of the arena. The camera follows her as she heads down to the main deck of the ship when suddenly popping out from inside a cabin door-
Celeste spears Andra Jones with such force that she knocks her overboard!!
Inside the arena the crowd falls uncomfortably silent.
Simon (OC): I've received word that Andra Jones is being taken by the ambulance. She landed rather hard. There's still breath in her, she's not dead, but she's pretty banged up. We're awaiting a decision on what happens now, and I'm just receiving word that Leila has asked Eui to finish the night out. It will remain to be seen what consequences will befall Celeste as I'm sure this action won't go unmarked.
Eui emerges with a breath as she heads down to the Deck for the Lifeboat Match.
Kendra (OC): The ref's job is pretty easy in this one. Basically just call it when the lifeboat hits the ground.
Arvin (OC): And I'm not convinced Aiko is ready yet to compete. Her eyes barely seem to have recovered.
Simon (OC): We already have action down at the deck now that Eui has finally gotten down there. Aiko is throwing kicks left and right, and some are landing but not at all to the level she is used to. Maki dodges a wild spin kick and face smash on the knee!
Arvin (OC): Maki, the most amazing One Punch Champ, keeps to what she knows best and that's strategy. Keep the pressure on Aiko's face and as much as possible the eyes. She still has Aiko's face on her knee and bringing her other leg around to axe kick on Aiko's head! Get it queen!
Kendra (OC): Aiko trying to get to her feet, Maki with the stomp to the back of the head! Aiko struggling up, Maki stomps again! Aiko gets her arms around Maki's leg and a takedown. Aiko with mounted punches, and she's hitting most of them...again, some wild ones as she's fighting increasingly blind. Smart move to come down to the ribcage with elbows by Aiko, there's more surface area there.
Arvin (OC): Maki struggling but getting her knees up for some propulsion and monkey flip! Some distance, oh boss move, Maki is lighting herself a cigar. Walking over to Aiko and grabs a clump of Aiko's hair, and she's exhaling the smoke right into her eyes! She launches Aiko by the hair into the side of the boat! Aiko hits the railing headfirst!! Maki has Aiko up in a Fireman's Carry and she's walking to the edge of the boat...this could be all she wrote for Aiko, WAIT SHE JUST GOT BUMPED OVER THE EDGE!! THEY BOTH DID!!! Into the Boat and Maki struggling to get the weight of Aiko off her to realize they're on the move. Another match potentially stolen! But wait, we didn't see who's at the controls! Maki trying to get up the chains, Aiko pulls her down
Aiko starts to open her eyes as she sees just a blur of -
A release noise is heard and the chain seems to suddenly completely loosen. Aiko and Maki are both knocked out cold and the bell rings!
Ash (OC): Here is your winner, and the NEW Draconic Champion...
Ash (OC): THE EYE-CON, IRIS COOOOORRRRREA!!!
The fans boo.
Simon (OC): I know that Iris lost her shot at this match last week, but I thought she was going to support her friend! Aiko has no idea she's been betrayed! And the worst part of this is, because Aiko has no idea, Iris can keep pretending to be her friend while she holds her title!
Arvin (OC): Pretend nothing. She filled the brief of the match.
Kendra (OC): So much for good chaos.
Simon: You know, it might be on me for a PPV named "THE BOOM" to not a total disasterclass.
Kendra: Yeah, this was always bound to be a huge FEMA-Level mess and it's glorious.
Arvin: There's gonna need to be a serious recovery period from all this. I'm exhausted.
Kendra: Only three matches to go. Buuut the next one is an Iron Person match.
Ash: The following is a Falls Count Anywhere Iron Person Match, and it is for the Inferno Title!
Creepy chants flow through "The Phantom of the Opera" as the lights go green and branches and vines show onstage. From this, Tragedeigh arises through green haze.
Ash: The challenger! From the Silence after the Storm, the Static Queen of the Swamp! TRAGEDEIGH!!
Tragedeigh walks down and the ramp shows green and ivy along behind her.
Kendra: Tragedeigh is officially back in ring action, and she is bringing her voodoo training with her.
Blue light swaths the arena as the music plays. Manta Ray jumps out onto the stage with blue fireworks and runs down high fiving the fans along the ramp.
Ash: And the Champion! From Profundidas del Mar, weighing 185 pounds, THE INFERNO CHAMPION, MAAAAAANTA RAAAAAY!
Manta Ray flips into the ring holding the title over his head.
Simon: And now we've got the next 30 minutes with these two, and it could go anywhere.
The bell rings!
Kendra: The speakers are staticky and the feedback is getting a little intense, something that's been following Tragedeigh recently, it's clearly got Manta startled and SPINNING NECKBREAKER BY TRAGEDEIGH! THE SPEAKERS JUST SPIKED WITH THAT IMPACT! Going for the pin, but Manta kicks.
Simon: He's made of sturdier stuff. You really want a fall in the first 10 seconds? He takes a run and Springboard Huracanrana!! Mar de Plata!
1!
2!
3!
29:45 remaining - Manta 1, Tragedeigh 0
Arvin: Well damn, he turned the volume down on the static real quick.
Kendra: Tragedeigh trying to tell Eui that she fast-counted, Manta taking the opportunity to hit a jumping neckbreaker NO SHE DUCKS AND RELEASE GERMAN TO MANTA. Tragedeigh to Manta's head and a face wash. She lifts him up by his mask!! She's trying to rip it off, he's flailing, AND SHE DRIVES HIS FACE INTO THE GROUND! And just rubbing his face into the ground with her boot.
Simon: Tragedeigh scoops him up and Exploder Suplex sends Manta out of the ring! And OUT SHE COMES WITH A SPRINGBOARD EBLOW DROP! Scoops him up and underhook DDT, going for the pin but Manta kicks before a 1.
29 minutes remain!
Arvin: Manta continuing to take the kicking and keep on...kicking...something like that. And he gets launched into the steel steps! And a kick to his gut.
Simon: The resilience of Manta is how that belt keeps ending up around his waist, but if he can't get more offense going then he's in trouble OH AND HE GETS THE MESSAGE, SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMB!
1!
Kendra: Tragedeigh rolls out. She's more in her game now, it was a rough start but finally some better footing. And Manta hits a belly to belly, putting Tragedeigh right onto the steps! He hits her with a knee drop to continue building his momentum back. Up to the apron, Moonsault onto Tragedeigh! Too much momentum, he rolls off.
Simon: Tragedeigh takes advantage of Manta's rolling off and a Half-Nelson Suplex onto the Staircase. He tilts his body and they both fall off, and he falls into a pin on her! But she pushes him off and we continue on.
Arvin: Tragedeigh grabs the legs of Manta before he can get up, smashes him into the side of the Stairs!! She heads towards the center of the ring to go under the apron, and-
28 minutes remain!
Arvin: Manta able to get to his feet, taking a run off the apron and splash to the back of Tragedeigh!!
Kendra: Back up to the Apron, waiting for her to get to the feet, MANTA SPRINGBOARDS AND SPINNING DDT!! EL AGUIJÓN!!!
1!

27:37 remaining - Manta 2, Tragedeigh 0
Simon: Manta punches her in the face as he gets to his feet, she SLAMS HIM DOWN WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX AND BRIDGES-
1!
2!
3!
27:24 remaining - Manta 2, Tragedeigh 1
Kendra: Manta gets his first down, and rolls away to recuperate a second, Tragedeigh goes under the ring again and IVY WHIP! SHE LASHES MANTA ACROSS THE FACE WITH THIS!
Simon: Manta grabs the edge of the whip and pulls Tragedeigh in! DROPSAULT TO TRAGEDEIGH!
27 minutes remain!
Arvin: MANTA LOCKS IN THE REEF KNOT!
Kendra: Tragedeigh struggling deeply but she catches him across the face with the whip and he has to let go! And a snap DDT by Manta at least keeps him in control. Manta quick parkour kick off the staircase and moonsault, Tragedeigh rakes his eyes and he gets taken off. Michinoku by Tragedeigh and the pin-Manta barely kicks, still managing to evade most of these falls, he rolls back with a basement front dropkick.
Arvin: He tries to get to his feet and she trips him. I respect the petty. OOOH and she stomps him in the little stinger. Going to pick him up and he locks in the Reef Knot again!!! She's pushing to fight out of it, there are no ropes to break and he's gotten her a bit further away from her whip than the last time, and we cross the 26 minute line.
26 minutes remain!
Simon: He pulls the hold tighter, she's trying to pick him up to get some leverage and he brings her right back down. You can't use the apron like a rope in this regard. Nowhere to go, and at this point the strategic move is to tap and try to reset, take the loss and have enough time and strength to come back, and that's what she does.
25:36 remaining - Manta 3, Tragedeigh 1
Kendra: Eui forces the hold to break, you can't wait twice on the same submission. Manta up and Tragedeigh gets her whip again, she trips Manta at the legs! SHE'S USING THE WHIP TO WRAP UP HIS LEGS! HE PULLS OUT OF IT AND TRYING TO KICK HER AWAY, BUT SHE JUST ROLLS HIM UP!
1!
2!
3!
25:20 remaining - Manta 3, Tragedeigh 2
Arvin: Starting to shrink the gap of the count, Manta back to his feet and hits the running knee on her. Back around, SLING BLADE! AND THE MOONSAULT! TIDAL RUSH!

25:01 remaining - Manta 4, Tragedeigh 2
Kendra: We're only 5 minutes in and already 6 falls and two absolutely blasted people! Tragedeigh rakes Manta's eyes as the clock crosses the 25 minute mark.
25 minutes remain!
Arvin: Manta gets her by the head and spinning brainbuster! Tragedeigh rakes his eyes again as she gets up. Takes a step back, and there's a ritualistic feeling as she hits the Overture Blockbuster!!

24:31 remaining - Manta Ray 4, Tragedeigh 3
Simon: Tragedeigh once again closing the gap, and she takes Manta up, brutal back suplex!
Kendra: Tragedeigh smashes Manta's head into the mat. And a second! And a th...NO HE BLOCKS IT AND SPINNING NECKBREAKER! STANDING MOONSAULT! STANDING MOONSAULT NUMBER 2! Manta is getting his groove back as we cross the 24 minute mark!
24 minutes remain!
Arvin: Tragedeigh wriggles out of a pin attempt and Manta with a Poison Rana!! She gets dropped on her head!!! That looks devastating! And she hits a forearm shot! Tragedeigh hits a second one to get some momentum back and gets Manta with a crucifix driver!

23:28 remaining - Manta 4, Tragedeigh 4!
Eui: I have decided...that due to the physical state of the two competitors...the next fall will be the deciding fall!
Simon: The fans are booing, we all thought we were getting a 30 minute match, but I actually think that she may be making the right call here. These two are already flattened, they did not pace themselves well, and it was explosive from the start. Manta rolling to his feet to charge at Tragedeigh, he almost ran into Eui! Careful! Tragedeigh boots him down, she's going for her Ivy Whip...she has it and she is just cracking the back of Manta! Just laying into him! And she gets the whip around his neck and he's struggling, he looks a little low on breath AND EUI IS CALLING THE MATCH!!!
Tragedeigh obtains the final fall due to referee stoppage, making her your new champion!
Ash: Here is your winner, and the NEW INFERNO CHAMPION, THE STATIC QUEEN OF THE SWAMP, TRAGEDEIGH!!!!
Kendra: Manta could have fought out of that! Maybe. Possibly.
Simon: And this will actually be a full circle moment for Tragedeigh and Imogen, who'd been painfully aware of each other since the W2.
Arvin: Tragedeigh was a much different person in January than she is now. This glow up in confidence and intensity is sure to make all the difference.
Kendra: And we only have two matches to...wait. This is...let's take you backstage.
Arvin (OC): We're backstage now, and it looks like Gozu and Razor have already started their match!
Simon (OC): Razor drives Gozu into the wall denting it, and back body drop! Gozu from behind him with a sleeper slam. Gozu drives Razor head first into the steel! Razor shrugs it off and grabs a catering cart, drives it upside Gozu's head!! Gozu smirks and hits Razor with a Spinebuster, and jumps for a hip drop! Razor pushes him off and grabs him by the legs for a big swing, Gozu crunches his body in and pushes out! That was rather clever! Razor tumbling back and Gozu landing on his.
Kendra (OC): Razor gets his trusty bat, and starts swinging it around himself, and drives it in into the midsection of Gozu. Gozu takes another bat shot! Gozu doubles over, and Razor picks him up by the neck. Gozu thinks fast and headbutts him as hard as he can with the horns!
Arvin (OC): To win this match, you have to get three of four different types of falls. Razor's so inured to pain at this point he doesn't even realize the bastard got one.
Gozu has made Scott Razor bleed. 1 of 3 conditions met!
Kendra (OC): How will we know if the others are met? Eui hasn't made it to them yet.
Simon (OC): Damaris is on the scene.
Kendra (OC): Has she been here this whole time? No offense to Ms. Baek but that's another person on payroll and Damaris could have handled this.
Simon (OC): Looks like she came out of some kind of broom closet, she's a little disheveled, but she's here and calling this match.
Arvin (OC): Come on Razor!!
Simon (OC): Hard to tell if Gozu's bleeding under that mask, unless it's a lot of blood.
Kendra (OC): Good thing about blood is it can come from anywhere. Razor hammer fisting Gozu to the ground, OH AND A HOCKEY SHIRT PULL! I think Razor's gonna prove my point right now, as he drives that Barbed Bat into Gozu's ribs! And again!!
Scott Razor has made Gozu bleed. 1 of 3 conditions met!
Kendra (OC): My point exactly.
Arvin (OC): Gozu trying to get his shirt back down and looking like a fool doing it, Razor from behind and EINS! ZWEI! DREI! THREE GERMANS! RAZOR TRILOGY!
1!
2!
TH-NO! GOZU KICKS!
Simon (OC): Gozu able to get himself out of the bridge, and finds himself a metal door, WHACKS SCOTT IN THE HEAD WITH IT!
Kendra (OC): Razor looking a little stunned, Gozu gets him up into the Sky High Chokeslam position, and here comes a catering cart RUN MAN RUN GOZU SKY HIGH CHOKESLAMMING SCOTT RAZOR THROUGH THE CATERING CART!! Going for the pin-
1!
2!
Arvin (OC): Razor up at 2 and still has a shot at this! RAZOR YOU CAN DO IT!
Simon (OC): Still mad about the Mask.
Arvin (OC): Yeah. Wouldn't you be?
Kendra (OC): Well, Gozu disappears into the locker room, Scott following him and Gozu hits him with a boot sending him back out! Gozu digging through his bag, oh he hums pretty nicely...that your mask, Arvin?
Simon (OC): It is! Think he's going to give it back?
Scott Razor re-enters the room and GOZU SMASHES THE MASK OVER RAZOR'S HEAD!!
Kendra (OC): I think the value may have depreciated a little.
Arvin (OC): ARE YOU KIDDING ME!
Kendra (OC): AAAAAND Arvin has left the booth.
Simon (OC): Gozu going for the cover on Razor-
1!
2!
THR-RAZOR KICKS AGAIN!
Kendra (OC): I have a feelimg...I can't tell if it's really bad or kind of amazing...
Simon (OC): And Arvin getting in Gozu's face, proving he's learned nothing. It's the middle of a match, dude! What are you doing!
Kendra (OC): Gozu with the head tilt...HE PICKS ARVIN UP AND HE GOLF SWINGS ARVIN AT SCOTT!!! GOING FOR THE COVER!!!
1!

3!
Gozu pins Scott Razor. Gozu has fulfilled 2 of 3 conditions!
Simon (OC): Does...this mean...Arvin will be out again?
Kendra (OC): Dude. I can't. It was amazing though. Both bad and amazing the feeling turned out to be ohhh and the feeling just got worse.
Simon (OC): ERADICUS HAS BOTH GOZU AND SCOTT RAZOR BY THEIR THROATS!!! THIS JUST GOT EVEN MORE WILD!!! RAZOR AND GOZU TAKING A MOMENT TO WORK TOGETHER AND PUNCH AT ERADICUS, HAMMER AT HIS HANDS, GRAB AN ARM EACH...THEY HIT A DOUBLE SUPLEX ON ERADICUS!!!
Kendra (OC): NERO WAS RIGHT BEHIND ERADICUS! NERO CLOCKS RAZOR WITH THE BELT!!! NERO CLOCKS GOZU WITH THE BELT!!!
Nero: COUNT!
Ref Damaris: You're not-
Nero: COUNT!!

Both Scott Razor and Gozu have been knocked out!
Kendra (OC): Nero holding the belt up! He thinks that this makes him the winner? I guess? I don't quite get this-
Simon (OC): SM HEARTBREAKER WITH THE KICK TO NERO'S DICK!! NERO DROPS THE BELT, SM SPINS HIM AROUND AND BELT TO NERO'S FACE!!! SM HEARTBREAKER HOLDING UP THE CHAMPIONSHIP!!!
SM sits cross-legged with the belt around him, occasionally checking his watch. As any of Gozu, Nero, Scott Razor, or Eradicus start to stir, he hits them in the face with the title belt. This goes on for...well, a minute. SM reaches for a microphone, when Damaris notes she doesn't have one, he produces his own.
SM: Today is a momentous day. For I, the Face of MAWL, have proven that I can hold on to the greatest title-
Not the greatest title-
SM: In wrestling history-
Not even in the federation.
SM: Standing tall above my fallen enemies, for a minute. I think I may be ready to once again claim the prize that's rightfully mine.
Disclaimer: SM was not in this match, did not win the match he was in, and there's no one minute stipulation here.
SM: Damaris, if you'd be so kind as to ring the ball and crown me the world-
Not the world title.
SM: Champion and then we can wrap up the Boom with my landmark victory.
We still have one more match. For the world title. Which is not yours.
Colin: S.M. Heartbreaker. Boy, you are so lucky that despite everything you caught me on a good day. So no, you didn't win that, and I'll need it back.
SM: Keep it safe for me while we get off this dangerous boat. Thanks boss for watching out for your top talent. About time I-
Colin sticks a finger up.
Colin: Tut tut tut. I did the calculations and by number of falls, Gozu wins this match 3 to 2, and will remain the champion. But, since we didn't get the pleasure of seeing this awesome match type all the way through yet, and since you and Nero and Scott and Gozu can't seem to get enough of each other, it will be the four of you in an Undisputed Match at Fallout for this belt. And God willing it will be the culmination of you four with each other, I got others waiting at the door to beat each of your skulls in. You want this belt, you're gonna have to actually earn it.
The crowd cheers.
Colin: And SINCE Eradicus did not seem to learn his lesson from our last punishment, he will be attached to the ceiling in a Godzilla costume. Far above the action.
Ash: Amazing MAWLTIVERSE, it is now time for our MAAAAAIN EVENT and it is for the EPOCH CHAMPIONSHIP!
The crowd gets super loud!
Jeannie is backstage, and she does the Sailor Moon transformation pose.
Pink smoke fills the stage. When the smoke clears, Jeannie is on the stage in her Sailor Moon costume and does a Sailor Moon pose.
Ash: First! From London, England, JEANNIE ROSE!!
Fireworks go off behind her, and she skips to the ring, climbing up onto the turnbuckle and backflipping off into the ring, doing a super hero landing.
Simon: This slot was all but Slang Dang's until Jeannie came in with a dazzling six second win in the last Beat the Clock match.
Kendra: And this will be a true testament to what she's capable of.
Simon: Absolutely right.
During the radio signal opening the lights go dark and various spotlights beep in and out as if transmitting. When the drums kick in, machine gun fireworks go off in time, Bettie comes to the apron and punches into her hand, causing one more burst.
Ash: From Jasper, Texas, the Broadcast Bettie Jo!
She comes out high fiving the fans in the front row. When the song goes into the stomp break, she stops to stomp and headbang in time, with the audience joining in the stomp.
Kendra: EM He's been real present today but mostly, it seems, focused on Nova and her own tag team. It remains to be seen how these dynamics will play out with her niece, if Bettie will side with Leila, try to stay out of it, or what the plan is.
Simon: I would have thought she would at least be out here terrorizing us on broadcast. But Bettie Jo's been trying to make her own way in this federation, and I respect the hell out of it.
Kendra: No one can deny she earned the shot to be here, and now let's see she stands up to these top shelf competitors.
Simon: If she can keep her focus and her eyes on the prize, I think she may have a shot here. But you're absolutely right, from the legend Jeannie Rose to a similar newcomer in Ishani who is the first to hold this belt to the next man coming out, the undeniable and exciting Ty Neon Sky Lancer, it's a hell of a task.
Blackout. Then sudden bursts of neon laser lights cut through fog. Ty appears in a crouch under a UV spotlight, rising slowly in sync with the bass drop.
Lights sync to the beat as he dances and hypeman-walks to the ring, engaging the crowd with finger-point taunts.
Ash: From the Electric City, weighing 201 pounds, TY! NEON SKY! LAAAANCER!
Simon: He is one of the most exciting people in this federation, just from the presentation to the fighting style.
Kendra: Let's see if that measures to success.
The piano trinkles in and the lights flash in Green, Orange, and White. Ishani comes charging in with her title.
Ash: AND the Champion, from Maheshwar, India, the EPOCH CHAMPION, ISHANI!!!
Gold sparklers follow her as she runs down the ramp, high fiving everyone. She does a no-hand front flip into the ring and holds up the belt.
All four competitors pound fists with each other as they prepare to start.
Simon: An all around show of sportsmanship as we begin this match.
The bell rings!
Kendra: Ishani and Rose lock up, Bettie and Lancer lock up. Rose and Lancer send Ishani and Bettie in a run, and Ishani clotheslines Bettie down as she heads towards Lancer, Lancer hits her with a huracanrana, Bettie back to her feet just in time to eat a Shining Wizard by Rose! Rose holds up the Yatta, she probably shouldn't be celebrating just yet, Bettie is quick to her feet and flipping arm drag to Rose!
Simon: Ishani using the handstand to get up and she is extremely dangerous from this position, headscissors to Lancer, Lancer on the roll down gets a Basement roundhouse to take Ishani back off her feet and they both cartwheel away from each other, it's truly a show of agility in the ring.
Kendra: One way to put it. Another is "a circus."
Simon: Rose mows Bettie down with a dropkick, and hits a standing moonsault on her. Bettie doesn't stay down long enough for the count to begin. Ishani taking a run and hitting a cartwheel, Pele Kick to Lancer! Ishani keeps the momentum going, runs up the turnbuckle post and a Moonsault to Lancer as well! But Lancer kips up into a Kangaroo Kick, recoil takes him out of the ring onto the apron, going for that FOSUBRY FLOP! HELL YEAH! But again, Ishani won't stay down!
Kendra: Rose redirecting her attentions and hits a Supergirl punch on Lancer!

Simon: Lancer is back up.
Kendra: And Bettie Jo switching over to Ishani but Ishani is ready for her and drives her down with a spin kick. Bettie rolls up quickly. The thing that's going to make this match so difficulty is that these four are spring-loaded. They don't stay down long, they don't stay still long, and they take bumps like champs. You're gonna have to do something big to keep one down.
Simon: Lancer to the ropes and going for the springboard, there's a corkscrew arm drag to Jeannie Rose!! Rose takes a bump but comes back up with a SUPER DUPER KICK THAT SENDS LANCER TUMBLING BACK! I think he may have landed on his head!!

Ty Neon Sky Lancer is eliminated by Jeannie Rose!
Kendra: And now it's Ladies' Night! Ishani charging at Jeannie Rose, a Cartwheel into a Pele Kick!! Jeannie to her feet, gets up behind her and German Suplex!! Ishani rolling up, but Jeannie ready for her with a Shining Wizard! Jeannie takes the run at Bettie now, Bettie ducks her and a Pele Kick!!
Simon: Bettie off the ropes and a Sling Blade to Ishani! Keeping the run going and JEANNIE ROSE WITH THE MONKEY FLIP! BETTIE JO GOES OUT OVER THE ROPES!! WAIT WHAT THE HELL IS SHE DOING HERE?
Kendra: I don't know but I don't like it. And Ishani front dropkicks Jeannie Rose backwards towards the turnbuckle, Ishani taking the cartwheel back, the no hand flip, coming to complete the Floor Routine AND NOVA HOOKS HER LEG! ISHANI FACEPLANTS! Wait, Bettie is to her feet,
Simon: Bettie Jo and Nova each grab a leg of Ishani's!!! THEY WISHBONE HER OVER THE POLE!!! And they're hogtying her legs!!! What the hell is happening??
Eui: 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10!!
Ishani is eliminated by Broadcast Bettie Jo!
Simon: That count was super-freaking-fast. Just what are they playing at.
Kendra: Oh, I think I have an idea, and I don't like it.
Simon: Eui HANDS BETTIE JO THE TITLE!! SHE HASN'T WON YET!!!
Kendra: NO BUT I THINK SHE' ABOUT TO, NO HAND FLIP AND TITLE SMASH TO JEANNIE ROSE!!!
Eui: 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10!!
Jeannie Rose is eliminated by Broadcast Bettie Jo!! Bettie Jo wins the Title!!!
Ash: Here is your winner, B-
Nova wrests the mic from her hand.
Nova: Shut up because you're gonna miss this up, just like you're gonna mess up your marriage.
The crowd boos.
Simon: Well that was uncalled for.
Nova: I've been trying to do this all night. My name...is Nova Blake. That's right, Blake. My aunt, you may know her, Leila Blake. My other aunt, you now know her, Eui Baek. Did you really think two Asian women both married a guy named Blake? Idiots? Blake is the Anglified Baek. And we've been playing. You. ALL. NIGHT. Even matches you didn't think were ours.
Footage shows of the match between Saber and Tino, when Eui pat Saber's back and put a tiny shock sticker on it, so that when he landed on it he would not be able to get up. Eui pulls the microphone.
Eui: Oh, "Sister". "Please protect me." "Please protect me from the faaaamily." Why do you think we all hate you? When Liana-
Nova: My mom-
Eui: Called me and told me what the plan was, and then Ms. He -
Bettie Jo: My aunt, and by the way, I'm done with this Broadcast Stupidity and cutesy folksy names, call me B.J. He. She was right all along. About all of it. and I just didn't want to admit it until today. Bettie Jo isn't a name worthy of a champion, except maybe a Blue Ribbon Hogtying champion.
Eui: Offered to pay us all handsomely, of course I was onboard to "protect my sister." You've always been the idiot of the family.
B.J.: Now get on your goddamn feet in praise for the woman who made tonight happen, who turned this sinking ship of an event into a luxury cruise.
EM He comes out laughing, with flutes, champagne, and cigars, which the celebrants in the ring enjoy.
EM: Now THAT, Leila Blake, is how you coordinate an event. The only smooth thing that's happened all night came from E.M. Powered. This could have been the MAWL you had, where everyone had such a smooth life, but you were a fool. And it took me, took my amazing niece who has never done anything wrong in her life, no time at all to become the top of the mountain.
EM looks directly into the camera.
EM: I told you, Leila. I told you several months ago. That I was going to take. Your. Family. And look around you. Look who's not invited to the family barbecue. Look who's become you, but better. Your family is mine now, Leila. YOUR FAMILY IS
