JANUARY 9, 2026
ONE HOUR AFTER DAY B2 ENDED

 

 

The Harris Brothers are drinking from a bottle of champagne celebrating Kyle's win when - 

 

 

-an incensed WildFire attacks them with Schmetterling's blowtorch! The alcohol in the champagne causes a ball of fire to go off in their faces!! 

 

 

Sombras begins to run over to help when-

 

 

Rade boots him in a different direction! Rade lifts Sombras up and tosses him into a car. Sombras pulls the passenger's mirror off the car and runs up on Rade, smashing him in the face with it. Rade stumbles back but grabs and launches Sombras again, this time onto the roof of a car. Wild continues to light the Harris Brothers up, and it looks like they might get some reprieve as Superstar Davy Boy walks by!

 

 

... only to look at the Harrises, look at Sombras, mutter "Chumps" to himself and fix the title on his shoulder as he continues walking to his car, unbothered by any of this. Rade approaches Sombras, looking to put him out of his misery when a pipe drives into his back! The holder of the pipe is revealed to be...

 

 

Mal Sangre helps his once and future brother off the hood and they put boots to Rade! A double suplex uses Rade's body to dent the roof of a parked limousine! 

 

 

Rena Terror tries to pull Mal Sangre away from the beatdown when she's clubbed by a Tony Award!

 

Standing above her, in a costume thought long forgotten to time, in a configuration long thought dead but ready to ring in a new yet classic era-

 

 

Tragedeigh stands shoulder to shoulder with Mal Sangre and Sombras once more, over the fallen Rade and Rena Terror, as the Harris Brothers are taken off in an ambulance with reconstructive surgery potentially on the menu.

 

JANUARY 10, 2026
HELSINKI, FINLAND

HELSINKI OLYMPIC STADIUM

 

 

The camera opens in a darker setting than usual. Not the standard backstage interview area. Concrete. Shadows. A single red light washing the wall behind him.

 

Ralph Silva stands still, hands clasped in front of him.

 

He looks tired.

 

Not physically.

 

Morally.

 

 

Ralph Silva:

“When La Sangre Maldita came to me… when they told me they were putting the past behind them… I told them not to.”

 

A pause.

 

Ralph doesn’t blink.

 

Ralph Silva:

“I advised against it.”

 

He nods once, owning it.

 

Ralph Silva:

“I said the chemistry was broken. I said the trust was gone. I said the damage was already done.”

 

His jaw tightens.

 

Ralph Silva:

“And I was wrong.”

 

A slow breath.

 

Ralph Silva:

“I didn’t understand what I was looking at.”

 

Cut briefly to footage of the Gates of Mictlán opening. The red light. The fire. The trio silhouetted in flame.

 

 

Back to Ralph.

 

Ralph Silva:

“They didn’t fix what was broken.”

 

He steps closer to the camera.

 

Ralph Silva:

“They weaponized it.”

 

A beat.

 

Ralph Silva:

“Every disagreement? Gone. Every ego? Aligned. Every ounce of resentment? Redirected.”

 

His voice lowers, becomes more deliberate.

 

Ralph Silva:

“And now it’s aimed at you.”

 

He points directly into the lens.

 

Ralph Silva:

“Not one team.”

 

Another point.

 

Ralph Silva:

“Not one champion.”

 

Another.

 

Ralph Silva:

“Every single locker room door in MAWL.”

 

His tone sharpens.

 

Ralph Silva:

“You think this is a reunion? You think this is nostalgia? You think this is some dramatic rebirth with cool lighting and fire?”

 

He shakes his head slowly.

 

Ralph Silva:

“This is consolidation.”

 

He lets that word hang.

 

Ralph Silva:

“This is three violent minds deciding that the fastest way to the top of the tag division… is through the ribs of anyone standing in front of them.”

 

Footage flashes of Mal Sangre’s cold stare. Sombras’ mask glowing in red. Tragedeigh pressing the cracked mask to her face.

 

Ralph continues.

 

Ralph Silva (voiceover):

“They move differently now.”

 

Back live.

 

Ralph Silva:

“There’s no hesitation. No second guessing. No internal power struggle.”

 

His eyes narrow.

 

Ralph Silva:

“It’s precision brutality.”

 

A slow, almost dangerous smile forms.

 

Ralph Silva:

“And here’s the part that should terrify MAWL…”

 

He leans in.

 

Ralph Silva:

“I tried to stop it.”

 

A beat.

 

Ralph Silva:

“I thought this path would burn too hot. I thought it would destroy them from the inside out.”

 

His smile widens slightly.

 

Ralph Silva:

“But I was looking at it wrong.”

 

He straightens up.

 

Ralph Silva:

“It’s not going to destroy them.”

 

His voice drops.

 

Ralph Silva:

“It’s going to destroy the division.”

 

A pause long enough to feel uncomfortable.

 

Ralph Silva:

“You’ve had your fun. You’ve had your friendly rivalries. Your respectful tag matches. Your ‘match of the night’ handshakes.”

 

His tone hardens.

 

Ralph Silva:

“That’s over.”

 

He nods toward the arena.

 

Ralph Silva:

“The gates opened tonight.”

 

He exhales slowly.

 

Ralph Silva:

“And now that it’s real?”

 

A flicker of excitement crosses his face.

 

Ralph Silva:

“I can’t wait to see how much blood it takes before someone figures out how to close them.”

 

The red light behind him flickers.

 

Ralph Silva:

“MAWL…”

 

He stares directly into the camera.

 

Ralph Silva:

“Consider this your warning.”

 

Cut to black.

 

 

"Cha Cha Cha" plays through the speakers as the crowd is getting wild.

 

 

Simon: Welcome everyone to Day 3 of the A Group! I am your humble host Simon Apple, and I'm sure you may notice some changes in design here. MAWL is always growing, always changing, always looking to improve. One such improvement is that Lenny Cruz has been fully moved to the main desk! Welcome Lightning!

 

 

Lenny: For real real though, this is BONKERS and I am so happy that y'all in the IWC spoke up for me, and that the higher-ups saw fit to give your boy his flowers. 

 

Simon: So happy to have you. And of course, one of the best to ever do it, Kendra Mavis. 

 

 

Kendra: And that's both in the ring and out. And you can see that for yourself when you unlock Kendra Mayne in MAWL III.

 

Simon: How was it for both o'ya to get back into your spans and Mocap?

 

Kendra: Felt good to get back between the ropes, but hard to get back into that smiley, happy rah-rah place. I think I did okay at pretending. But it made me realize that me now would approach the ring a whole different way.

 

Lenny: Lotta fun, but Man I was WINDED after that whole thing. I didn't think I'd be so relieved to go back to my sitting down job. Let these people do the fighting.

 

Kendra: Speaking of changes, Shawn Harris will already be back in action from that brutal attack by WildFire... apparently both brothers had to undergo facial reconstruction, but you have to give it to the doctors we have on staff that they're already ready to go and from what I've been told they're looking good, maybe even better than before.

 

Simon: But we got a lot of these people and a lot of fights, and even a match or two before we get into the W2 proper for today, so let's do it.

 

Kendra: First we got the Bolivian Proud, made his debut against Lesnar in Thankless, against another one of our young roster.

 

MALCRI VS REL ISH

 

 

Ash: The following contest is scheduled for One Fall!

 

Crowd: ONE FALL!

 

 

The lights go completely green. Rel Ish comes out with that Jey Uso Roof Raising energy, which the crowd matches. He takes a pickle shot to a pop.

 

 

Ash: First! From Ocean City, Maryland, weighing in at 232 pounds, the Pickled Punisher, REL ISH!

 

Kendra: This is a bit insulting for Malcri, no? Given he fought Lesnar in his first match. 

 

Lenny: Only if you underestimate Rel Ish, which would put you in... quite a pickle.

 

Simon: Oh no.

 

The crowd continues to match the energy as he continues the roof bouncing hand motion. Rel rolls into the ring, contorting his body almost into a pickle as he does it, then gets back to his feet. 

 

 

 The lights go out, the music starts, the phrase "Comprende al Control" is said and after the next beat, the pyro explodes, the lights go on and Malcri comes out onto the stage raising his arms and encouraging the audience.

 

 

Ash: And his opponent! From Bolivia, weighing in at 200 pounds, the Bolivian Proud, MALCRI!!!

 

Malcri then goes for the ramp shouting and waving with a lot of attitude and ruthless aggression.

 

Lenny: The crowd is behind both these men, and this fight is a hell of a way to start our day. 

 

The bell rings!

 

Simon: Rel with an Irish Whip, sends Mal off the ropes, looking for a swinging lariat no Malcri ducks comes back around, springboard and into a flying headbutt! Rel caught off-guard and knocked off his feet, Mal with a roll and continues the run, Rel up and Mal gets him with a springboard dropkick! 

 

Kendra: He's backing that pride up with action and propulsion. 

 

Lenny: Rel again quick to his feet, and snap Spinebuster to Mal! Bending him around onto his stomach and going for a Crab, Rel bending him back and elevating the Crab into an almost Liontamer.

 

Simon: The more you bend and make the body small, the harder it is for them to get to the ropes. But conversely, go too far and your opponent can start to get some leverage... Malcri onto his hands, quickly down and takes Rel into a facebuster situation!! Malcri to the top and Spiral Tap!! Going for a pin-

 

 

Farrah: ONE! TWO!

 

Lenny: Hell yeah! Get that shoulder up Rel. 

 

Kendra: Rel gets Mal's head in a low headlock, hooking the leg and DDT. Rel locks in a Camel Clutch, he's trying to break Mal down but I get the sense that's not gonna fly, Mal pushing himself back to his feet, and going for a backwards charge HE SLAMS HIM INTO THE TURNBUCKLE, TAKES A RUN NOW AND COMING BACK WITH THAT RUNNING DDT! 

 

Simon: Rel won't stay down! Throwing a punch combo to Mal, he's coming fast and hard at Mal, Rel takes the run... SPRINGBOARD CORKSCREW EUROPEAN UPPERCUT! PICKLE SHOT!!! WAIT MAL ABLE TO BEND BACK AND EVADE THE BLOW, GETS THE LEGS... MALCRIBOMB!!!!

 

Farrah: ONE! TWO! THREE!

 

Malcri wins by Pinfall!

 

 

Ash: HERE IS YOUR WINNER, THE BOLIVIAN PROUD, MALCRI!!!

 

Kendra: LET'S...GO!!!

 

Malcri raises his hands and climbs to the top rope, hyping the crowd.

 

Simon: He just blasted Rel into O-Bolivian! 

 

Kendra: Why do you have to ruin this for me?

 

Simon: Sorry?

 

Kendra: Nah I'm just messin with you, you're not enough of a man to impact me that bad.

 

Lenny: ANYWAY What match is coming next?

 

 

Colin: You having a good time, Romania!

 

The crowd cheers for the most part. One asshole - it's always that one - says "It's a solid C+."

 

Colin: I have some announcements, that I think will potentially change the game. 

 

FIRST-

 

We love that we're building such an amazing community, with all of these federations. And it almost kinda sucks that only 4 of each group will ultimately be rewarded. I mean, almost. That's how it works, you have to win for your victories.

 

BUT.

 

This is my incentive to keep this going. The people who rank 5th will get right of first refusal for the Golden Group next year. The people who rank 6th will get right of first refusal for the Silver Group. That will make up potentially 2/3 of those rosters. And then you'll just have to see how it plays out otherwise. 

 

Okay. That's announcement one done.

 

Lenny: Already planning for 2027. Putting a lot of faith that people will want to come back.

 

Kendra: That's 25k for the winner of the Golden and 10k for the winner of the Silver. Sounds like incentive to me.

 

Colin: Announcement 2. Following the events in the parking lot last night, we're gonna have a weird form of title match on the Final Day. WildFire, I understand what made you mad at the Harrises. If someone tried to holler at my husband in front of me like that there would be blood. BUT, we still gotta run things right. 

 

SO. We're going to have a Double Title Ladder Match. It'll be the only time that Crimson Rite isn't done by Crimson Rite Rules. The Harrises, Sombras and Mal Sangre, Rade and Rena, and WildFire you'll need to find a partner. The winning team will decide which of them gets which belt. 

 

And that's not the only title match the Harrises will be getting. We're going to hold a Tag Elimination Chamber Match for the Signal Belts. Our champs, the Harrises, two members of Deck of Hearts, and a team I'm keeping under wraps for now. The other Tag Titles, currently held by Gozu and Jacen Tarot, I have-

 

??: Did someone say "keeping under wraps"?

 

 

Eliot: Yes, it is we, your favorite podcast, EL VERDAD, funded by the great visionary Marvin Patel who sees what we see and believes us unlike Colin who has been trying to keep us off his show since Graveyard Shift, to the point where he canceled most of his December slate.

 

Colin: Now hold on, December was to give people a Hol-

 

Zac: YOU hold on, Mr. McRae, here is EL VERDAD. Here is THE TRUTH. The TRUTH is that Aztec is the true winner of the Crypt Match.

 

Colin: Good God, we're still on that? Anyway, since you're here, you'll be the first in our Tag Team Rumble. Here comes Team Two now.

 

 

Lenny: Eliot Nestlemen with a running powerslam to Tara Gonzo, and Cory Anderson with a running neckbreaker to Zac Davis-East. The switchup, Zac takes Tara out with a running boot! Cory with a spinning huracanrana, but Eliot catches himself and doesn't go over. Great teamwork by the podcasters!

 

Tara Gonzo is eliminated by Zac Davis-East! (1)

 

Kendra: Not so much great teamwork by Taste of Victory. The huge running boot to the back of the neck of Zac to get him over the ropes, and he does bounce over the ropes but holds himself in and the 2 on 1 stays intact. Zac rolls back into the ring, Cory meets him with an elbow.

 

Simon: Zac takes the elbow and a big Judo Throw to Cory, a quick kick to the ribs to keep the pressure on. Eliot adds a much starker kick to the ribs and a Gutwrench Powerbomb!

 

Lenny: The Numbers Game is gettin' a little too much for Cory Anderson, Eliot picks him up and Zac boots him over the rope... JUUUST holds on!! Zac running back and puts more stank on that boot, and THERE Cory goes! 

 

Cory Anderson is eliminated by Zac Davis-East! (2)

 

Kendra: Only one team in the ring, so the clock is reset. 

 

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

 

 

Simon: Last year, P Crue won the tag titles in a Fatal Four Corners, and they're looking to recapture the magic. But they gotta get through this first and being in the Rumble this early might make it difficult.

 

Kendra: Eliot greets T. Krip with a stiff right hook, and H. Dog counterbalances with that Springboard Bulldog! H. Dog continuing his run, double clothesline taking the podcasters over... Zac is down and out, Eliot BARELY holds on!

 

Zac Davis-East is eliminated by H. Dog! (1)

 

Lenny: Dog's got that... dog... in him. 

 

Simon: Oof. He's also got those brass knucks on him, and he unloads the punch on Eliot! Eliot back over the ropes, but still holding on! NOPE! H. DOG DUMPS HIM!

 

Eliot Nestlemen is eliminated by H. Dog! (2)

 

Kendra: They did it quickly and took little pain, that'll help them, but it's still a long way to go.

 

10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1! 

 

 

Simon: Wiski with a high spinkick to T. Krip, H. Dog with a clothesline tries to knock Glen over... only his hat hits the ground. Glen and Krip return their relative attacks with simultaneous boots. 

 

Kendra: Dance partners switched, Wiski with the swinging neckbreaker to H. Dog, Krip hits that Stunner on Leven!! Krippler Krunch!! He picks Leven up by the beard and tosses him out!!

 

Glen Leven is eliminated by T. Krip! (1)

 

Lenny: Krip doesn't miss a beat, comes back around with a discus lariat to Wiski Sour. And a Krippler Krunch on her as well!! Launches her over the rope... NO! SHE KEEPS A FOOT UP! AND SHE HOPS BACK TO THE RING! UP TO THE APRON...T. KRIP JUST BOOTS HER RIGHT BACK DOWN AND SHE GETS HER OTHER LEG UP IN TIME! WHAT QUICK THINKING! 

 

Simon: She's up to the apron AGAIN and trying to get into the rope... H DOG SHOULDER BLOCKS HER AND HER HEAD HITS THE TABLE! BUT SHE'S GOT BOTH HER LEGS TUCKED! COMING INTO A HANDSTAND AND WALKING HER WAY BACK TO THE STEPS!

 

Kendra: Springboard dropkick to T. Krip! Wiski rolls up and into the jawbreaker of H. Dog. Unbelievable survival instinct on her and both of P. Crue are PISSED. H. Dog lifts her up going for the Irish Whip...Wiski reverses!! H. Dog propelled and back on the return, HUGE back body drop by Wiski! H. Dog is over.... oh he learned! Tucked his own leg too, and still in this one. T. Krip with a running leg bulldog takes Wiski down on her face! H. Dog on the apron WISKI BOOTS HIM BACK DOWN AND OUT!

 

H. Dog is eliminated by Wiski Sour! (1)

 

Lenny: And we got a member from eachh team, but they're both about to be put at a disadvantage, the countdown clock is comin'!

 

10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1! 

 

 

Simon: T. Krip and Wiski now truly realizing the odds they're facing, double shoulder block takes Titan out of this match! 

 

Kendra: It's now a triple threat until further notice. That notice being the countdown clock, or if someone gets dumped. Yeah.

 

Lenny: Wiski spins around and spinebuster to T. Krip! DAMN! She taps his shoulder and they look at Leshy... double boot... Leshy keeps herself safe and grounded in the ring. 

 

Kendra: T. Krip turns his attentions around, boots Wiski over the ropes, Wiski pulls him over the ropes by his chain... they are throwing hands, and it's back and forth, they both go down!!

 

Wiski Sour (2) and T. Krip (2) eliminate each other!

 

Simon: Leshy remains through all this, as she awaits the next team.

 

10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1! 

 

 

Simon: Leshy with a huge boot to Remy Runt, goes over the ropes, lands on the apron and rolls back. The Runts give each other a look...both take a run... and high and low dropkicks knock Leshy out! 

 

Lenny: That's how you work as a team!!

 

Leshy is eliminated by Remy (1) and Rudy (1) Runt!

 

Lenny: High-five by the Runts!

 

Kendra: Would that make it a low five?

 

Lenny: Not cool.

 

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

 

 

Simon: Rudy with an elbow shot to Imogen, Chanty with a huge scoop slam to Remy. Remy and Imogen counter with exploder suplexes, Rudy and Chanty rolling back to their feet and exploder suplexes returned! Remy almost out, but rolls himself back in.

 

Kendra: Remy with a forearm shot to Imogen, Chanty with a cross-chop to Rudy. These two pairs laying into each other, Chanty with an elbow shot to Rudy, Remy with a hands-free backflip into kangaroo kick into the chest of Imogen, Imogen goes over the ropes and barely lands on one foot, gets herself back in the ring and charges at both Runts...double clotheslines and they both hold on!

 

Lenny: Remy and Rudy switching their targets finally, Remy with a back elbow to Chanty, Imogen blasts Rudy over the ropes with a Superkick!!

 

Rudy Runt is eliminated by Imogen! (1)

 

Kendra: Chanty with a single-leg dropkick to Remy. Imogen adds another single-leg dropkick to Remy, Chanty leapfrogs Imogen and with a third one to Remy, Remy goes out of the ring, but rolls back in quickly.

 

Lenny: There's something to being small and easy to maneuver, makes you easy to get back in. 

 

Simon: Chanty charges him and they both go right out!!

 

Chanty (1) and Remy Runt (2) eliminate each other!

 

Lenny: Imogen is currently the sole survivor, but she is waiting for her next challenge.

 

10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1! 

 

 

Lenny: Bartleby Barnes with a launching clothesline, Imogen again barely saving herself. Bartleby hits Imogen with a chop, Imogen swings and catches Azrael with one of her own. She is great at keepin' on her feet but Azrael puts it to bed booting Imogen out. 

 

Imogen is eliminated by Azrael Adams! (1)

 

Kendra: Imogen could not be saved. The team lives up to their name.

 

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

 

 

Lenny: The Fire U Firebrands come BLASTING IN at full speed, Azrael cuts Keegan Mi off with an STO but tilt-a-whirl headscissors by Kalliope Yu sends Bartleby Barnes into the drink!

 

Simon: Talk about a Barnes Burner!

 

Bartleby Barnes is eliminated by Kalliope Yu! (1)

 

Kendra: Keegan Mi with a quick roll, back to his feet and Belly to Back Suplex on Azrael. Keegan with a stomp, Kalli goes for one of her own but airballs and that looks like it hurt her foot a titch, Azrael lifts her up by that foot, oh that looks painful, he's just wrenching her ankle as he lifts, she's off the ground and flailing, but the flailing is just making it worse!

 

Simon: Can't win by submission, but damned if that doesn't hurt like hell, and Keegan shoulder rushes Azrael to get his partner released. Azrael stomps on Kalli's bad foot, Keegan with an inverted DDT to him! Keegan lifting Azrael up... and a tossing belly to back gets Azrael towards the ropes... not over though.

 

Lenny: Under a minute til the next team is scheduled to enter. Azrael scoops Kalli up, takes her over to the edge KALLI WITH A HEADSCISSORS TAKES HIM OVER!!! 

 

Azrael Adams is eliminated by Kalliope Yu! (2)

 

Kendra: If I were Kalli, I would have let Keegan get some blows in and rested up, the countdown clock just sped up right to the edge!

 

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

 

 

Lenny: THE RUMORS ARE TRUE! THE TEAM IS OFFICIAL!

 

Kendra: The only thing that can put this fire out is water... but Keegan and Kalli hit a double flapjack on Manta!! Manta with a Drop Toe on Kalli, Keegan with a spinning elbow to Thunder. Keegan and Kalli switch up... MANTA WITH A HURACANRANA ELIMINATES KEEGAN, BUT KALLI WITH A HURACANRANA ELIMINATES STEVE!! 

 

Keegan Mi is eliminated by Manta Ray! (1) Sting Ray Steve Thunder is eliminated by Kalliope Yu! (3)

 

Simon: The teams even each other out, and now it's Manta left with Kalli. Manta with a dropsault on Kalli, off the ropes, bicycle kick! Manta's firmly in control of this match! 

 

Kendra: Not so fast there, Simon, Kalli catches the leg of Manta and slingshots him into the turnbuckle. She boots him into the buckle and tries to get him over, but he locks himself in the ropes. She tries to disentangle him, and he does disentangle but only to flip behind her and German Suplex! Off the ropes and dropsaults her, she staggers back and Manta dropkicks her out of this match!! 

 

Kalliope Yu is eliminated by Manta Ray! (2)

 

Lenny: He may be down a partner, but Manta Ray is indomitable in spirit. And that will be vital to see him through, as the countdown clock rears its ugly head, preparing Manta for his next handicap issue.

 

10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1! 

 

 

Kendra: Lionheart wastes no time booting Manta over the ropes, but Manta rolls himself back in. Lionheart with an arm drag to Manta, and a kick to the side of the ribs. He won't even have to worry about the numbers game if the first person just beats the hell out of him. Great strategy, Manta.

 

Lenny: Not like Jaguar to hang back but Lion has this well under control so I guess no need to burn both of your energy out. 

 

Simon: Manta looking he's starting to push back, Jaguar now coming in with a rush and Manta huracanranas him right out of this match!! 

 

Jaguar King is eliminated by Manta Ray! (3)

 

Kendra: Looks like he had a good strategy and he squandered it to hell. Manta once again evening the playing field and OH I spoke too soon, Manta turns around right into a midsection kick, the crucifix set up, and Lion's Edge right outta this match.

 

Manta Ray is eliminated by Lionheart! (1)

 

Simon: Was that smart though? Now Lionheart has no backup. He and Manta would have been smart to make a temporary truce.

 

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

 

 

Simon: So first we want to apologize to Miles Max for calling him Max Miles all that time. The person responsible has been sacked.

 

Kendra: Secondly we want to apologize on behalf of Miles Max, because that's a stupider name than Max Miles.

 

Lenny: Kendra doesn't speak for all of us. Lionheart smashes Todd with an elbow, Miles smashes Lionheart with an elbow in response. Zena with a big knee strike to Lionheart, Lionheart takes it out on Miles with a neckbreaker.

 

Simon: It seems a very passive aggressive kind of match here, or a very unfortunate two-front war. Zena gets Lionheart in a headlock and bashes him with knees to the ribs. Lionheart kips up and Enzuigiri to Miles!

 

Kendra: I thought we were going to get a wrestling match, not a Three Stooges routine.

 

Lenny: Miles whips Lionheart off the ropes, Lionheart comes back and Spear to Zena!! Turns around and punches Miles, Zena kicks him in the back of the leg. Lionheart trying to ignore that and a kick to the midsection of Miles, Zena kicks him in the back of the leg again.

 

Kendra: Cutting off the Lion's Edge this time, that was actually good teamwork. Gets his attention to Zena and kicks him in the ribs, Miles uses the distraction to hit a Backstabber on him!

 

Simon: It's probably annoying but this is incredibly effective volley work by Match Point. Lionheart with a jumping knee to Zena and Miles hits him with a dropkick! He loses his footing a bit and is on the ropes, but doesn't go over.

 

Lenny: At least it gets him out of this sandwich situation. Using the ropes to his advantage, Springboard Kick to Zena! MILES IS WAITING FOR HIM WITH A BOOT! Lionheart gets Miles up, head in a headlock... INVERTED SUPLEX OVER THE ROPES! CODE BLUES HIM OUTTA HERE!!

 

Miles Max is eliminated by Lionheart! (2)

 

Kendra: He still has to contend with Todd Zena, and in half a minute that won't be his only problem. Lionheart goes to boot Zena out ZENA WITH AN EXPLODER SUPLEX....LIONHEART KEEPS ONE FOOT UP AND BACK TO THE APRON! HE DRAGS ZENA OUT AND ZENA ABLE TO PREVENT HIMSELF FROM FALLING OFF THE APRON TOO...HE RUNS LIONHEART INTO THE POLE AND THAT'LL DO HER!

 

Lionheart is eliminated by Todd Zena! (1)

 

Simon: Zena gets himself back in the ring, but the breathing is clearly heavy as the countdown clock beckons the next contestants.

 

10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1! 

 

 

Kendra: La Criatura boots Zena back over the ropes... he almost loses his footing but stays on the apron. She kicks at him again but he holds on. La Bosqua goes for a kick, but he grabs her leg and pushes her back, and La Criatura headbutts him in response.

 

Simon: You'd think we'd see this strategy more, keep your opponent on the apron. La Bosqua trying it again, TODD ZENA DRAGS HER OVER BY THE MASK AND OUT TO THE APRON!

 

La Bosqua is eliminated by Todd Zena! (2)

 

Simon: Lands a punch on La Criatura and he's back in the ring, Exploder Suplex sends La Criatura over the ropes but she manages to remain on the apron! She jumps in for a springboard clothesline OH AND HE CATCHES HER AND SCOOP SLAM! Off the ropes and a fist drop! Scoops her up again, scoop slam to the outside but she balls herself up and is able to roll back to the stairs with little issue. Onto the apron, Zena hits her with a chop and runs her head into the pole... she collapses towards the turnbuckle instead of away, and manages to keep herself in. Gets her by the mask and runs her into the OTHER turnbuckle!! THERE SHE GOES!!

 

La Criatura is eliminated by Todd Zena! (3)

 

Kendra: Zena lives to fight on! 

 

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

 

 

Kendra: We've got one of our few married couples in this match now! Tee Jax and Barclay Stockett of Warrior Strong take their name from their American Ninja Warrior days. Zena tries to boot Stockett out early, no go. He hits Jax with a chop, Barclay defends her wife with a high kick to Todd's head.

Kendra: Press Start will be one of only two teams since the beginning of this match not to be walking in here with a handicap advantage. And the other is...

 

 

Simon: This was actually the song they used in the indies, and it was touch and go here because UV had been using it... but now that he's Utterly Vile and has a whole other thing happening they can go back to the song they'd been wanting.

 

Kendra: Sunrise Seville already pushing up on Penny R.

Lou Bison is eliminated by Marion Bartoli! (3)

 

Kendra: Only a few teams left to show themselves in this, who's next?

 

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

Lenny: Both women in the ring a little bitter about not getting tryouts to Sex Appeal, but they seem perfectly content with their partners for the moment. Bryce with an Uppercut to Randi, and gets ONE Superkick on her, Randi ducks down with a Split to avoid the other. And she takes that Split into a Donkey Punch!

 

Simon: Oof, that grounds Bryce Nice and you can see her face contorting. Randi taking the time to cheer to the audience, that's probably not a great idea and Bryce dropkicks her face first into the turnbuckle!! Bryce taking a more aggressive approach and she is kicking at the back of the head of Randi! OH RANDI ELBOWS BACK AND CATCHES BRYCE IN THE THROAT! She sits herself up on the turnbuckle... Sunset Flip Powerbomb to Bryce!! Randi rolls back to keep it going, Bryce hooks the leg to kill the momentum! Oh, but Randi kicks her in the face! Randi pulls Bryce up by her pigtails and dumps her over the ropes... Bryce is out! OH BRYCE NICE HAS SNAPPED! BRYCE PULLS RANDI OVER BY HER HAIR AND SHE'S OUT OF THE MATCH TOO!!! BRYCE IS SLAMMING RANDI'S HEAD INTO THE MAT REPEATEDLY!!! 

 

Kendra: We knew the Nice act was untenable... it took Bryce Nice 5 years here in MAWL, but she's undoing the pigtails. She's DONE being nice, and Randi Rah-Rah is taking all of her unbridled rage.

 

Lenny: It should also be noted that this means, once again, we will need two teams.

 

10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1! 

 

 

Lenny: Oh Jesus. These dorks. I hope whoever's next is better.

Lenny: Gene continuing to work Terri with a couple uppercuts... and the Rock Bottom... or the Apple Bottom takes Terri outside!!! 

 

Terri Tinsel is eliminated by Gene Applebottom! (1)

 

Simon: Gene turns his attention to Tawny now, a knee to her ribs. Tawny takes his leg and Exploder Suplex, and once again I have to rant about not pulling your leg back after an attack. They keep doing this to themselves. Gene back to his feet and Giant Back Body Drop sends Tawny sailing out... OH! She barely grabs onto a rope and is able to stave off elimination! He attempts to boot her off the rope but she's got the grip of a vice!

 

Lenny: This doofus can't get the job done.

 

Kendra: Don't count him out... Baseball Slide and she STILL holds on! DAMN girl!

 

Simon: She finally flips herself back into the ring and Kangaroo Kick to Gene. Gene catches her mid-air and Manhattan Drop! Boots her out and you can see her neck snap back as she goes to the outside...

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

Kendra: DOUBLE FLAMING KICK TAKES TAWNY OUT OF THIS MATCH!!! IT'S OVER!!!

 

Tawny Towne is eliminated by Morgan Maverick (1) and Guinevere (1)! The Fabulous Firebirds win!!

 

 

Ash: Your winners, the Fabulous Firebirds... MORGAN MAVERICK AND GUINEVERE!!!

 

Simon: Morgan and Guinevere are going to get their shot at Gozu and Jacen Tarot on the Final Day!

 

Kendra: Everyone was mad at Guinevere for joining ZLI, but the results speak for themselves. She'd held our top belt and now she's going to have a chance to get a second title in her history books, far more than had been happening for her before! And you can tell she's relishing every moment of... OH! Looks like Morgan and Guinevere are more than a tag team! Look at that kiss of victory!!

 

Simon: Get a room you two!

 

Lenny: It looks like they fully plan on doing that. 

 

Simon: Well, we are moments away from the main attraction, Day 3 of the W2's A Group. But even getting there has already been nothing short of chaos. 

 

DAY A-3

 

STITCHES THE CLOWN VS BLACK SABER

 

Ash: The following contest is scheduled for One Fall!

 

Crowd: ONE FALL!

 

https://audio.com/ryan-crowley-hughes/audio/black-saber-theme-song-2

 

Black Saber storms out to the stage, eyes locked on the ring.

 

 

Ash: First! From wherever he wants, wherever there is corruption, the leader of Anti-System, BLACK SABER!

 

Fireworks go off and Saber pounds his chest twice before entering the ring. 

 

Simon: It's been an inauspicious start for Black Saber... lost his first match and sent home before his second could occur, resulting in a frustrating 0-2 so far.

 

Lenny: Inauspicious is one way to put it. I'd say he shot himself in the foot twice.

 

 

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

 

 

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

 

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

 

Kendra: He had a better first day than Saber, but Axel of all people was able to undo him last time.

 

The bell rings!

 

Simon: And we're getting ready to start and... Stitches stares down Black Saber...Saber swings at Stitches, but Stitches ducks and oh I hate that creepy laughter. Swings and... Stitches ducks again! Stitches rolls out of the ring, what exactly is happening here? Stitches has a stool, he could easily get himself disqualified. This punk is just sitting down.

 

Lenny: This is a very confusing turn of events. 

 

 

Kendra: I can't tell if this is going to make it more or less...oh damn that's a lot of clowns.

 

 

Simon: Needless to say that's a disqualification. Saber doing what he can to fight them off but these 6 to 7 foot size clowns, these denizens of a Clown SUV, are absolutely ravaging Black Saber.

 

Lenny: I gotta say though, he's getting his licks in.

 

Black Saber wins by disqualification.

 

Ash: Stitches the Clown has been disqualified. The winner of this match is Black Saber.

 

https://audio.com/ryan-crowley-hughes/audio/anti-system-theme-song

 

Kendra: Looks like Saber's got cavalry coming!

 

 

Lenny: The rest of the team doesn't even need to be here, Abyss has got this-

 

Simon: He's... stopped?

 

Abyss signals for the music to cut. He...has a mic?

 

Abyss runs his finger across his throat.

 

Abyss: It's time for carnage!

 

https://audio.com/ryan-crowley-hughes/audio/alexander-the-iron-inquisitor-blackthorne-theme-song

 

 

Kendra: WHO THE HELL IS THIS?

 

Simon: I don't know but the two of them are charging the ring and the clowns are deciding to meet them halfway...SKULL-MAN TOSSES A CLOWN!! ABYSS TOSSES A CLOWN!!! HEADBUTT BY SKULL-MAN DRIVES THOSE SPIKES INTO A CLOWN'S HEAD! IT'S AN ABSOLUTE SLOBBERKNOCKER, ABYSS AND SKULLHEAD ARE JUST ABSOLUTELY WRECKING THIS CLOWN COTILLION.

 

Lenny: They're just going apemeow! And here comes security... they're trying to hold the clowns back, trying to separate Abyss and Skull-Man from them, Abyss and the Skull dude just reachin' over the security guard and Abyss one-hand tosses a clown into a group of security guards!! 

 

Kendra: Skull-Man... oh apparently his name is Alex the Iron Inquisitor... charging through the mass of security, BLACK SABER KNOCKS OUT STITCHES, AND A BLACK BAG OVER THE HEAD.

 

 

Leila steps out.

 

 

Leila: Okay, so first and foremost. Stitches, you brought this on yourself by bringing out these clowns. This is your last match in this event. I'll be finding your replacement. AND you'll be fighting for your career in a match determined by Black Saber and his group at our Final Day Event.

 

Black Saber: I want a War. Total brutality, 4 on 4. 

 

Leila: Granted. BUT, I want you to do something for me. And, there's something in it for you too. You see, Marvin-

 

 

Zac Davis-East: Now hold on, I know you're not going to speak ill of-

 

Leila: YOU hold on, you just got dispatched of. What are you two doofuses doing back here, Colin just put-

 

Eliot Nestlemen: Colin tried to silence us. Just you tried to silence us just now. But Marvin Patel sees in us two people who won't be silenced.

 

Leila smiles. 

 

Leila: You know what, you want the spotlight, congrats, you two will be part of Stitches' team. If you win, I'll give you a contract and a spot to spout your nonsense. Your team will be consigned to Gung Ho, or just shipped on back to Waves of Pain. And that's just what I was getting at. Marvin Patel was supposed to run Gung Ho International, and instead he decided to reopen his federation which is in violation of his non-compete. So Black Saber, you go there, your team clean some of his roster of their titles, you'll get to be the inaugural champs here and I'll give you space to put on the most gruesome battle imaginable against Stitches, these two idiots, and... Uncle Insamity.

 

Black Saber: You got it boss. 

 

Leila: And Colin, I hate to undermine you but I'm undoing your interference punishment rule. I learned last year it's just killing the vibe to try to rein in the chaos. Now with all that squared away, back to the W2.

 

Kendra: The boss just opened up all sorts of chaos back into this event. And I love it. 

 

Simon: The doors have been opened for utter insanity. Day 3 has just begun. I just want one match that's insane in action and not in extraneous bullshit. 

 

LESNAR VS DARIA DONNER

 

Ash: The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!

Crowd: ONE FALL!

 

 

Lesnar stomps back and forth on the apron, before making a backbreaker/scream pose lighting off fireworks.

 

 

Lesnar starts to stomp down the ramp and he is PISSED.

 

Ash: First! From Minneapolis, Minnesota, weighing 265 pounds.... THE BEAST, LESNAR!!!

 

Lesnar charges with increasing speed and runs into the ring, then yells as he jumps onto the apron. 

 

 

The SEX APPEAL logo appears on the Titantron, with the apple growing horns and catching fire from inside. As the fire spreads out from the apple, real fire spreads to the outsides of the titantron. Daria Donner steps out, fixing her horns and giving a crimson cruel smile to the camera.

 

 

Ash: And his opponent! Representing Sex Appeal and Zora Luthor International, from North Star, Delaware, the Devil's Darling, DARRRRIA DONNNNER!

 

Daria blows mocking kisses to the crowd as she walks down the ramp. Upon reaching the apron, she stretches herself out on the top rope before rolling in.

 

Simon: It's the Battle of the 5s! F5 and 5D!

 

The bell rings!

 

Kendra: Lesnar comes in with a shoulder rush and knocks Daria on her ass! Pulling her up and into a Ripcord Sidewalk Slam. 

 

Lenny: Dude's gonna use every bit of his muscle to his advantage. Doesn't help that she looks a lot like a Rena, and he's just taking all of this out on her and SUPLEX CITY! ANOTHER! DARIA IS JUST FULL ON TAKING THE BRUNT OF HIS RAGE! 

 

Simon: If she can stand after this onslaught I will be very, very surprised. 

 

Kendra: He'd be smart to pin her now and get the easy win. So of course he's not going to do that. Lifting her up, and F5 SHE SLIDES BEHIND HIM, SPINS HIM AROUND AND HER OWN F5! 5D!!! 

 

Lenny: WHOA! WHAT THE HELL!

 

 

Classic Jenny: ONE! TWO! 

 

Kendra: Lesnar TOSSES her off, pulls her up by the head and HEADBUTT! Pulls her up again, HEADBUTT THE SECOND! F-5!!!

 

Classic Jenny: ONE! TWO! THREE!

 

Lesnar wins by Pinfall!

 

 

Ash: Here is your winner! LESNAR!!!

 

Lenny: It was insane that Daria was even able to get him up to do that, but it came to nothing.

 

Kendra: And so we move on, with 2 people who are looking to keep their undefeated streak going. At least one of them will be broken.

 

SHADE SHADOW VS STONEFIST

 

Ash: The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!

 

Crowd: ONE FALL!

 

https://suno.com/s/3DBwTKXoD9xTSAsv

 

The arena lights dim, plunging the crowd into shadow. A low rumble of thunder echoes through the speakers, vibrating the ground beneath the fans.

 

Suddenly—a blinding flash of lightning cracks across the stage, followed by a roar of thunder that shakes the rafters. The titan appears.

 

 

Stonefist emerges from a curtain of smoke, cloaked in Greco-Roman regalia, his golden eyes glowing under the flicker of strobe lights. Each step he takes down the ramp lands like a war drum, synced with booming thunderclaps over the sound system. The crowd erupts into chants of “STONE-FIST! STONE-FIST!” as the storm builds around him.

 

Halfway down the ramp, he raises both fists to the sky. At once, pyro erupts like lightning bolts, streaking from the stage to the ceiling as the arena lights flash white. The sound system blasts a final thunderclap as if the gods themselves answered his call. He ascends the steps to the ring with the slow, commanding pace of a deity, slamming his fist into the mat as he enters.

 

The ring shudders under the blow, the crowd roaring as if Olympus itself trembled. He rises, arms stretched wide, basking in the storm he commands.

 

Ash: The storm has arrived… and tonight, Olympus walks among us! FROM THE THE PEAKS OF OLYMPUS, WEIGHING IN AT 380 POUNDS, IT'S STONEFIST!  

 

 

Shade Shadow fixes his cap and walks out pounding his chest.

 

 

Ash: And his opponent! From Gainesville, Georgia, weighing in at 267 pounds, SHADE SHADOW!!!

 

He shakes the ropes as he walks in and gives a shout.

 

The bell rings!

 

Kendra: Stonefist absolutely goes ham on Shadow! Just unloading punch after punch and hammer blows just breaking down Shadow into a pudding! Pulling him to his feet, huge forearm to Shadow's forehead and he falls down to the mat! 

 

Lenny: He's taking the punishment like a champ, getting back to his feet and Stonefist drops him right back down with a headbutt! Lifting him up, throwing him off the ropes, Stonefist going for the Olympus Breaker... Shade Shadow slides under the punch! And around Shadow comes.... going for the Spear! That's brave my guy but you're tryin' to move a mountain! 

 

Simon: A little movement on Stonefist but sure enough he cuts it with a slam of his elbows in the spine of Shade Shadow! 

 

Kendra: Going for the pin-

 

 

Carter: ONE! T-

 

Simon: Shoulder's up, Stonefist grabs him by the arms and tosses him!

 

Kendra: Shade Shadow's gonna have to take a different approach if he wants to win this or really survive it. Shade climbing to the top, walking the rope, going for a dropkick OH but Stonefist catches him and a backbreaker! 

 

Lenny: Well THAT plan didn't work. Stonefist going for a pin again-

 

Carter: ONE! TWO! T-

 

Simon: Shoulder up, you can see the beginnings of Stone cracking in his face but he lifts Shade Shadow up by the face, there's 113 pounds of difference between the two of them and you can see that transferring into the hand of Stonefist. Stonefist launching a fist into the ribs of Shade, oof the cracks in the ribs can be heard in the cheap seats.

 

Kendra: Shade refusing to go down though, back to his feet... Stonefist loading up that Olympus Breaker punch.... SHADE SHADOW DUCKS AND GETS UNDER HIM.... F5!!!

 

Lenny: UNBELIEVABLE! Shade Shadow collapses on top of Stonefist, Stonefist is too big and lumbering to get to his feet with a quickness.

 

Carter: ONE! TWO! THREE!

 

Shade Shadow wins by Pinfall!

 

 

Ash: Here is you winner, SHADE SHADOW!! 

 

Simon: Shade pulled the win almost out of thin air!

 

Lenny: Smart, recognizing that Stonefist's body mass was going to make him getting the needed mobility a tougher sell, and he goes into day 4 with a 3-0. 

 

Kendra: It puts him in a good place for now but with 11 total matches per person it can all change in an instant. With that said, let's head over to the Golden Group for the first match.

 

SM HEARTBREAKER VS SOMBRAS

 

Ash: The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!

 

Crowd: ONE FALL!

 

 

When Sombras makes his entrance, the arena plunges into near darkness, lit only by flickering red and black lights. A faint, ghostly chant resonates through the speakers, accompanied by the soft sound of wind and whispers. Sombras appears suddenly, materializing as though from the shadows, moving with a silent, predatory grace.

 

 

Ash: First! From the Forgotten Bloodline of Ancient Kings, at an average corporeal weight of 195 pounds, The Phantom of Shadows, SOMBRAS!!

 

 His movements are fluid and deliberate, creating the illusion of a phantom stalking its prey.

 

Kendra: At the top of the program we saw that La Sangre Maldita have reformed in their lineup from shortly after this time last year.

 

As he approaches the ring, crimson mist begins to pool around him, intensifying his spectral presence. He enters the ring in eerie silence, crouching low in his corner as he fixes his piercing gaze on his opponents. When the bell rings, the shadows seem to envelop him, and the match begins in an atmosphere of dread.

 

Announcer: Wrestling only has One Heartbreaker

 

 

BOOOOMANIA! Finland keeps it going!

 

SM Heartbreaker fixes his cufflinks and straightens out him open suit jacket with a Deck of Hearts shirt underneath it. 

 

 

Ash: AND HIS OPPONENT! From wherever he wants to be, in at 205 pounds, the leader of the Deck of Hearts and self-proclaimed Face of MAWL, SM HEARTBREAKER!!

 

Simon: I think it is pretty clear that this is not gonna be even close to a 1 on 1... even with the reconnection of La Sangre, working together more in concert, Deck of Hearts has the numbers game.

 

Lenny: I hate to question the boss, but it would have been smart to wait until at least THIS match was over before undoing Colin's decree.

 

SM Heartbreaker steps into the ring, with several people in Deck of Hearts jackets at the corners of the ring.

 

Kendra: SM is well-prepared for any eventuality.

 

The bell rings!

 

Simon: Sombras already having to figure out his strategy without going to the corners or ropes, all of which are guarded by SM's goons. And these are just the entry level goons. 

 

Kendra: Behind SM with a spinning neckbreaker! SM bounces up to his feet and Sombras hits him with an arm drag! 

 

Lenny: Is... is one of the goons trying to lure Sombras with a churro? Wow. Just, wow.

 

Simon: Sombras not even bothering with it, because of course he's not, and SM is getting an increasingly speedy set of knees to his face. SM turning it around with a kick to the dick! He sure loves that. Going to Irish Whip Sombras, Sombras reverses it, SM comes back and he's going for the Instrument of Destruction, Sombras is too quick for him! Leg tapped Enzuigiri and SM eats the ground. 

 

Kendra: SM's attempt to get Sombras in reach of his soldiers backfires miserably. SM to his feet again, he's gonna need to fight this match himself and a quick clothesline to Sombras. Sombras kips up, goes for a high spinkick and SM ducks, Sombras on his feet and eats a superkick. SM going for a pin but Sombras behind him and pulls the hair as he drives him down with a bulldog.

 

Lenny: Yo, I'm gonna pop these goons myself. A taco? You meowbag. 

 

Simon: Sombras keeping laser focused on the match, and just as importantly keeping his movements to the middle of the ring itself, seems to be able to mostly use his speed to manage the change. 

 

Kendra: SM evades a spinning backfist and hits a back body drop, one of the goons thinks he may have a chance at reaching NO Sombras appears behind SM and German Suplex for our first pin attempt of the match-

 

 

DeAndra: ONE! T-

 

Lenny: SM kicks and I gotta give Sombras props for containing the action, was worried that the limitations would work against him but he's keeping general control of this match.

 

Kendra: SM boots Sombras back and getting perilously close to the edge-but the goon is pulled under the ring! 

 

 

Lenny: YO! MAL SANGRE COMES THROUGH FOR HIS BROTHER! SOMBRAS HAS ONE ROPE S-

 

 

Kendra: VIOLENT IS STEPPING OUT FROM THE CROWD! HES STARING DOWN MAL SANGRE AS HE COMES CLOSER, MAL SANGRE SIGNALING THAT HE WELCOMES THE FIGHT, VIOLENT STEPS OVER THE BARRICADE AND HERE HE CO-

 

 

Kendra: TRAGEDEIGH LEAPS ON HIS BACK! SHE'S WRAPPING HER HANDS AROUND HIS HEAD IN A SLEEPERHOLD AND SHE IS TRYING TO SUBDUE THE B-SHE'S HIT BY A WOODEN CHAIR!

 

 

Simon: DIANA DRESDEN BREAKS THE CHAIR ON TRAGEDEIGH'S BACK! IT'S MADNESS OUT HERE!! SM'S GOONS DESCENDING ON TRAGEDEIGH AND SANGRE SOMBRAS TAKES A SUICIDE DIVE AND GOONS DOWN!!! THIS IS MADNESS!!! 

 

Lenny: No, Madness is next month, this is W2.

 

Kendra: Boooo.

 

DeAndra: ONE! TWO!

 

Simon: SM with a smile on his face, this is exactly what he envisioned for his group...hey...do you smell Sulfur?

 

DeAndra: THREE! FOUR!

 

Kendra: No, I definitely smell it too...

 

 

Lenny: DANTE RIVERA IS IN THE RING!!! AND HE HAS A TIKI TORCH... HE JUST LIT SM'S HAIR ON FIRE!!!! AND SMASHING THE STICK ACROSS HIS FACE!!! PAYBACK FOR GRAVEYARD SHIFT AND IT IS OH SO NICE.

 

DeAndra: FIVE! SIX!

 

Kendra: Mal catches wind and he directs Sombras back into the ring. Sombras arguing and Mal assuring, oh you either love or hate to see the brothers working together again, and Sombras puts the fire out with a La Magistral Rollup-

 

DeAndra: ONE! TWO! THREE!

 

Sombras wins by Pinfall!

 

 

Ash: Here is your winner... THE PHANTOM OF SHADOWS...SOMBRAS!

 

Simon: Dante rolls outta Dodge and hops back over the barricade. He doesn't give a meow about La Sangre or Deck of Hearts, he was here to get his pound of flesh from SM and it looks like he's done just that. 

 

Kendra: Well, he may not care about Deck of Hearts but they sure care about him now. Their leader is now under 50 percent in this event, with a 1-2. 

 

Lenny: This is exactly how we all imagined this match playing out. Well, maybe not SM losing necessarily, but this is the kind of chaos that was bound to happen.

 

Kendra: With that, we go back to the D group where Chorker is looking to keep his streak going but he's going to have some competition in the currently 1-1 Wolfgunblud. 

 

CHORKER VS WOLFGUNBLUD

 

Ash: The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!

Crowd: ONE FALL!

 

 

Chorker's theme music "Rust" hits with a slow industrial metal track with deep drums, low guitar tones, and mechanical ambience. The arena plunges into darkness. The sound of grinding metal echoes. 

 

 

Ash: First! From The Forgotten Mills, weighing 273 pounds, CHORKER!

 

Red lights flicker with each step he takes. His fans try to touch him as he walks down but he shrugs them off as his one focus is to win the match and leave. As he reaches the ring, a single white spotlight shines down on him while the music fades into silence.

 

Lenny: DAMN! This dude is pure intimidation and abs.

 

He drops his chain onto the floor before stepping into the ring. 

 

 

Wolf walks calmly down the ring and up the stairs.

 

 

Ash: AND his opponent! From San Diego, California, weighing in at 230 pounds, WOLFGUNBLUD!!

 

He does a front flip roll using the ropes to enter the ring finishing with a T pose.

 

The bell rings!

 

Kendra: Chorker boots Wolf right out of that T pose and sends him rollin' back. This is gonna hurt for WGB. Chorker grabs him by the feet and Hammer Swing... WGB gets launched right into the turnbuckle! 

 

Lenny: He just gave WGB all the runway he needs...goin' full speed and a Spinning Wheel Kick starts to stagger Chork back, loads himself back and front dropkick pushes Chork to the ropes! Running again, on his way back and a blistering back elbow sends Chork over! This ain't a rumble, but Wolfgunblud lookin' to put Chorker on the ground! Springboards off the turnbuckle and a dropkick, Chorker stumbles off the apron! 

 

 

Lisa: ONE! TWO! THREE!

 

Simon: Gun could just leave Well enough alone, but choosing to go to the top!

 

Kendra: Well that's dumb, it's just gonna interrupt the count AND HE LAUNCHES HIMSELF OUT WITH A BURST FROG SPLASH CHORKER CATCHES HIM!! CHORKER HAS HIM IN A BENCHPRESS HOLD AND GETTING A FEW REPS IN HE JUST LAUNCHES HIM BACK ONTO THE APRON!

 

Lenny: Stupid man. Chorker back on his feet and onto the apron and that may have just turned the tide in Chork's favor! Chork picks him up by the back of the neck and LAUNCHES him back into the ring WHY IS CHORKER GOING TO THE TOP ROPE!

 

Simon: This is not like him, and if this backfires then it will have been the dumbest thing he could have FROG SPLASH! HE FROG SPLASHES WOLFGUNBLUD! THAT'S JUST PETTY!

 

Lisa: ONE! TWO! THREE!

 

Chorker wins by Pinfall!

 

 

Ash: HERE IS YOUR WINNER, CHORKER!

 

Chorker stands motionless over his fallen opponent as the arena dims again.

 

Lenny: A finish rather uncharacteristic of him, but an attitude completely in line. If you zoom in, his expression is unchanging as he hits the Frog. 

 

Simon: He'd be a barrel of fun on a roller coaster. 

 

He bends down, retrieves his chain, and drapes it over his shoulder before marching backstage.

 

Kendra: And Chorker's reign of terror continues, as he leaves the ring with a 3-0, and that man left flattened has plenty of time to wonder what went wrong. 

 

Lenny: It's real crystal what went wrong, Kendra, he could have left well enough alone, prepared a trap attack for when Chorker entered the ring after that sick dropkick. He chose instead to be dumb, and paid for it with bruises on his ribs and ego. 

 

Simon: And with that folks, we're back to Group C, with another man looking to keep his record pristine and his nose clean.

 

THE TRIBAL CHIEF VS VICTORIA SCYTHE

 

Ash: The following contest is scheduled for One Fall!

 

Crowd: ONE FALL!

 

 

White searchlight sweeps across the crowd. The Tribal Chief steps out slowly, scanning the arena like he’s mapping threats.

 

 

Ash: First! From Houston, Texas, weighing in at 260 pounds, the leader of Riot Block, The Tribal Chief!!

 

Halfway down the ramp he pauses, exhales sharply, then charges the ring with sudden explosive force. Inside, he circles every corner like he’s securing hostile territory.

 

 

A burning X fills the Titan tron as Start The Shooting by A Day To Remember starts blasting. Victoria  struts out confidently, moving with the flow of the music.

 

 

Ash: And his opponent! From Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, one half of X-Treme Society, VICTORIA SCYTHE!!

 

She stops at the top of the ramp as the Titan tron starts displaying ‘Watch your step’ in burning letters as the chorus plays. As Victoria walks down the ramp, pyro goes off on either side of the ramp with each step. After a few she stomps triggering the stage to fill with red and silver sparks.

 

Kendra: Scythe is hoping to do what Blud wasn't able to and break a streak. Let's see how she fares. 

 

Lenny: Hopefully her partner carrying a torch earlier will be an auspicious start.

 

She walks down the ramp and to the ring, strutting up the stairs and climbs up onto the turnbuckle and poses for the crowd. She hops into the ring and  stands in the center, posing with her hands on her hips. Her eyes fixed on the camera (or opponent). She raises her foot up high and stomps, setting off red and silver sparks above the ring.

 

The bell rings!

 

Simon: Victoria off to the races, immediately taking a run at him and DDT!! Quick run and a Springboard moonsault, going for that quick cover-

 

Classic Jenny: ONE! T-

 

Lenny: Shoulder up by Tribal Chief, honestly, even getting the one this early was a strong start. She keeps the pressure on, Belly to Belly, Tribal quick to his feet and gets her with an armdrag, keeps the arm locked in and trying to pull her into the Samoan Drop, NO she reverses to a DDT oh but he doesn't come down with her and it's more of a flapjack by him! Scoops her up and a bodyslam. 

 

Kendra: The tides can turn in an instant. She shoulda been more careful and now she's in for a world of pain.

 

Simon: He pulls her back up and going for that Spinebuster OH but she locks his head and throwing some hammer punches, gets her DDT after all, taking a run and going for the Springboard Moonsault again but Tribal Chief gets his knees up! 

 

Kendra: What did I JUST say?

 

Simon: Chief stomping her out, trying to tenderize Victoria with his boots and gets her with a quick Snap Suplex! The advice swings both ways and Victoria bounces back like a tennis ball! Gets him with the tilt-a-whirl side slam and immediately into an ankle lock OH but he boots her backwards into the turnbuckle! 

 

Lenny: You could hear her head ringing in Sweden with that collision. She shakes it off, though, shakes it off, shakes it off! A beautiful backwards leap up to the second turnbuckle she's going for a Queen Cutter and NO CHIEF CATCHES HER OUT INTO A BACKBREAKER! Cover-

 

Classic Jenny: ONE! TW-

 

Kendra: Victoria gets her shoulder up, he pulls her up onto his shoulders and we're gonna get that Rip And Tear and I didn't realize how many people were partial to the F-5 Style and the Fling NO SHE CATCHES HER LEGS ON THE ROPES AND SPRINGBOARD TORNADO DDT! Okay, I gotta give her respect for that.

 

Lenny: She out here sayin' you clown my move I clown your move. The cover-

 

Classic Jenny: ONE! 

 

Simon: Tribal Chief kicks out, and there's some clear irritation furrowing his brow, he Irish Whips her and OH! CLOCKED IN THE HEAD BY BRASS KUNCKLES?

 

 

Kendra: And brother comes out to save the day!

 

Simon: I don't think Victoria sees it that way! She's arguing with him!

 

Kendra: So ungrateful. The only reason she's even in this company is she thought he and Def would be here, now he is and he's HELPED her and this is what he gets??

 

Simon: He's trying to direct her to pin him, he just gave her this match, but I don't think she wanted to win this way oh but she may not have to, Tribal on his feet and pulls her in...RIP AND TEAR!!!

 

Classic Jenny: ONE! TWO! THREE! 

 

Tribal Chief wins by Pinfall!

 

 

Ash: Here is your winner, THE TRIBAL CHIEF!

 

Lenny: And Tribal Chief don't look too happy to see Jared either, as he's stepping out of the ring to give him words.

 

Kendra: He won because of Jared. No one is grateful.

 

Simon: He won in spite of Jared, and I don't think he's gonna give a thank you card for getting knucked. Jared with a "Forget this" look on his face as he tries to walk out to the ramp and...

 

 

Kendra: ...and Riot Block are saying NO SIR, you're not goin' anywhere... JARED KNUCKS AXEL! JARED KNUCKS TREVOR! TRIBAL SPINS JARED AROUND AND-

 

 

Simon: Dante and Def to the aid of Jared!!! 

 

One Audience Member Who Sounds Familiar: You don't mess with family!

 

Kendra: Oh Jesus who let him back in here.

 

Lenny: Jared gets a chance to get back down off Chief's shoulders and MASTER CUTTER TO TRIBAL CHIEF!! Axel and Trevor back to their feet, Def and Dante with a double vertical brainbuster onto the steel ramp!! All our refs are out here trying to clear up the commotion but Riot Block are flattened by the likes of the Scythe family and the brother from another mother! Def and Dante go to the ring to get Victoria back to her feet-

 

 

Simon: ROBERTOS MICHAEL FROM THE CROWD WITH A PIPE! HE SMASHES IT INTO THE BACK OF JARED'S SKULL!!! GETS HIS ARMS AROUND JARED'S WAIST, GERMAN SUPLEX INTO THE STEEL OF THE RAMP!!! AND ANOTHER!!!

 

Kendra: He waited for the opportune time, when everyone else's hands were full... you don't have to like it but you do have to respect it, he yanks at Carter Vale's shirt and into the ring they go!

 

JARED SCYTHE VS ROBERTOS MICHAEL

 

Lenny: One more German! And a pin!

 

Carter: ONE. TWO. THREE.

 

Robertos Michael wins by Pinfall.

 

 

Ash: ... Here is your winner... Devilishly Great Robertos Michael.

 

 

Zora walks angrily to the ring mic in hand.

 

Lenny: Oh boy.

 

Kendra: Well she has a right to be angry. Her match was scheduled next and Michael just jumped the line.

 

Zora: That's RIGHT, Kendra. Now Robertos, I know you're new here so you may not have the wherewithal to understand how things work but there is an order to things and-

 

 

HIGH RISK WINSTON LEWIS VS ZORA LUTHOR

High Risk from the audience rolls her up!!

 

Carter: ONE! TWO! THREE!

 

High Risk Winston Lewis wins by Pinfall!

 

 

Ash: Here is your winner, High Risk Winston Lewis!

 

Lenny: High Risk Winston Lewis notches his first win with another opportunistic play!!

 

Kendra: Chaos among chaos among chaos. It's beautiful.

 

Simon: So I guess we can skip Group B in the next cycle, they've got half their matches already taken care of.

 

NERO VS AJA LIONESS

 

Ash: The following contest is scheduled for One Fall!

 

Crowd: ONE FALL!

 

A deep, throbbing heartbeat reverberates through the crowd—slow, steady, primal. A chilling mist creeps across the entrance ramp as eerie, flickering candles illuminate a shadowy figure in the distance. Aja Lioness stands motionless beneath a twisted archway of gnarled, blackened branches, her piercing gaze locked on the ring like a predator stalking its prey.

 

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

👁️ [Her Voice, Low and Haunting, Breaks Through the Silence] 👁️

"You cannot fight fate…"

 

Ash: FIRST! From Salem, representing Zora Luthor International and Asesinato S.A., the Witch, AJA LIONESS!

 

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

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

⏳ The Witch Has Arrived. The Ritual Begins. ⏳

 

When suddenly from the rafters, a sensory deprivation tank is lowered. Inside said deprivation tank...Red Ghost, clearly knocked out and with a spa mask and cucumbers over his eyes that he may not be aware of. 

 

Red fog bellows from the stage area. and purple fog falls from the rafters as 'Destroy Everything' by Hatebreed blasts.

 

 

Images of blood-filled rivers, and burning trees flash on the screen.

 

"A NEW 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.

 

 

He stands still at the top of the ramp, head lowered.

 

"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.

 

Ash: And her opponent! FROM The Tree of Woe, weighing in at 300 Pounds, The Warrior of Woe. NERO!!!

 

 Fans reach out, but he never acknowledges them. 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.

 

Simon: All things considered, for all the indignity he endured, 2025 didn't end terribly for Nero. 2026 is starting off as a mixed bag, going one for two, and he's hoping to turn his luck around here.

 

The bell rings!

 

Kendra: Aja prepares that foot, she wants to drop this one quickly... but Nero sees it coming! Catches her out and a DEVASTATING Belly to Belly!! Putting his knee on her throat and pressing tight... 

 

DeAndra: ONE! TWO! THREE! F-

 

Simon: Releases the pressure, and an elbow drop to her throat!

 

Lenny: He's tryin' to give her that Stevie Nicks voice without all the smoking.

 

Simon: Aja punches him off and kicks him away, back to her feet and a knee to the stomach of Nero, another quick one, she sends him shoulder first into the turnbuckle! Running at him and going for a Mushroom Stomp to his back!! Choke over the middle rope-

 

DeAndra: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! F-

 

Kendra: She takes it right to the wire there, but lets go. Going for the run and looking to guillotine him with that leg drop OH! HE MOVES! AJA LANDS ON HER ASS ON THE APRON!

 

Simon: Okay Nero! He's still in this one! Grabs Aja by the throat and Chokeslams her off the Apron!! 

 

DeAndra: ONE! TWO!

 

Lenny: See, NERO is being smart unlike certain Gun Wolves and he's just letting Aja wither out there.

 

DeAndra: THREE! FOUR! 

 

Kendra: It's also giving Aja a bunch of time to breathe, but I do have to give it to Nero for staying away from the ropes, especially with Zora still out there. 

 

DeAndra: FIVE! SIX!

 

Simon: Zora helping Aja to her feet and it looks like she's handing her something.

 

Kendra: Okay narc.

 

Lenny: Aja back in the ring, and she looks like the cat who caught the crow. Loading up a punch, NERO dodges it AND BOOTS HER HAND! THAT WAS REAL INTELLIGENCE THERE! 

 

Simon: That sent her roll of quarters flying, Aja watches the coins go for all of a second and that's all it takes for that spinning elbow!!! NEROLYZER!!! 

 

DeAndra: ONE! TWO! THREE!

 

Nero wins by Pinfall!

 

 

Ash: HERE IS YOUR WINNER, THE WARRIOR OF WOE, NERO!!!

 

Simon: He just broke Aja's streak!! Not only that, he positioned himself above her on the leaderboard... the rules on a tiebreak are that if two people have the same record, an extra point goes to the person between the two who won their match. Now that they're both 2-1, Nero beating her gives him the slight edge on the leaderboard. All told, a MASSIVE win for the Scotsman. 

 

Kendra: Thanks for ruining it for Aja, Simon. Real cool.

 

Simon: I did nothing of the sort. I gotta call it like I see it, and had what I said mattered, she would have been disqualified which would have given the same result but minus the bruised hand from that propulsive boot. 

 

Lenny: And honestly, Nero had the match well in...hand... anyway.

 

Kendra: ANYWAY, we have three matches before we head to commercial. 

 

AIKO VS DEDO APESTOSO DE LA MUERTE

 

Ash: THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL!

 

Crowd: ONE FALL!

 

 

Entrance Visuals - Gav tending his sheep, till he finds he mask and slowly puts it on to turn in to DEDO APESTOSO DE LA MUERTE.

 

He descends from the high South Wales valleys, he can hear Joe Hendry singing in the back ground ‘Say his name and he appears, we believe in Welsh Gav’ He stares down his opponent.

He points at his opponent as he does the Funky Chicken. The crown chant ‘chicken, Chicken, CHICKEN!!!!!

 

The big screen cuts to backstage where icon Bjork is standing. Her infectious smile sparkles.

 

 

Bjork: Introducing the beautiful and mighty fighter from Yamaguchi, Japan... The Moonblade, AIKO!!!!!!!

 

The cute fashionista turns, to her right where Aiko stands in traditional japanese attire, and a black paper umbrella.

 

 

"NEON BLADE" by MoonDeity hits, and Aiko now faces the camera.

 

 

A cool aura and swagger emanating from her as she removes her designer glasses, and walks with zeal, and boldness towards the gorilla position and out through the entrance way stage area.

 

Kendra: Looks like Bjork is going to be filling in for Rina going forward then.

 

The crowd erupts into cheers of admiration, and they bounce along with Aiko as she struts to the rhythmic oriental beat. Aiko dressed in her signature black sports top with gold accent, and kimono inspired leggings. On the stage she jumps, and gives a quick kick downward, and a high kick once she lands. She gives a display of 3 more flash kicks, an elbow strike, then spins around, and goes onto one knee, giving a Kata prayer like pose. The screen behind her shows beautiful plumes from peach blossom trees, and open japanese umbrellas spinning. Aiko's name is displayed with kanji symbols, and a rising sun logo positioned behind it all.

 

As the crowd continue to cheer Aiko skips down the ramp then into a rhythmic strut playing to the crowd, and arms rolling with dance movements.

 

She stands at the bottom of the steps, and bows. Then quickly makes her way into the ring, and makes exaggerated poses and moves til her music stops.

 

The bell rings! And then - 

 

 

Lenny: RINA IS OUT HERE AND RUNNING... LOU THESZ PRESS TO BJORK!!! SHE'S GOING HAM ON BJORK!!! 

 

Simon: Aiko is beside herself trying to get their attention from inside the ring DEDO ROLLS HER UP!!!

 

Lisa: ONE! TWO! THREE!

 

Dedo Apestoso de la Muerte wins by Pinfall!

 

 

Ash: Here is your winner, DEDO ASPESTOSO DE LA MUERTE!!!

 

Lenny: Aiko barely registering her loss and getting between her two announcers, trying to get everyone on the same page.

 

Kendra: Aiko's expression going from dResperate to angry and she's sending both to the back. Somehow I feel like this isn't over.

 

Simon: Maybe not, but we do still have to move onto the next. And both of these competitors, similar to how Winston and Zora were, are looking to stop the bleeding and get out of their no-win holes. 

 

PITTA POWER VS RAZI KAMAL

 

Ash: The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!

 

Crowd: ONE FALL!

 

 

Gold spotlights circle around the arena as Razi Kamal stands on the apron checking her nails.

 

 

Ash: First! Representing E.M. Powered, from Ray, Iran, PERSIAN PERFECTION, RAZI KAMAL!

 

Razi barely pays attention to the crowd as she walks down the ramp towards the ring, yawning and focusing on her jewelry. She steps up onto the apron and brushes her feet off, then steps in the ring.

 

Lenny: She's gotta change this song. It's not been flawless for her. In fact, very much the opposite. All flaw. Flawful.

 

 

Pitta Power storms out.

 

 

Ash: And her opponent! From Torino, Italy, weighing 200 pounds, PITTA POWER!

 

Simon: Pitta Power after his string of losses made a comment to the backstage about returning to how he saw himself rather this composer theme, and it looks like he got his wish! 

 

Pitta Power picks up speed as he charges towards the ring. The bell rings!

 

Lenny: Razi Kamal is NOT prepared for this version of Pitta Power and he SPEARS her into oblivion! Going for the pin!

 

Classic Jenny: ONE! TWO! THREE!

 

Pitta Power wins by Pinfall!

 

 

Ash: Here is your winner, PITTA POWER!

 

Simon: Pitta Power turned the tide, the music change seems to have made a difference. Razi might want to take a page.

 

Kendra: Speaking of changing themes...and Slipknot... we've got Shawn Harris next, whose team is going to come out to "Snuff" going forward. 

 

AERIAL ASSASSIN SHAWN HARRIS VS ISABELLA VAN DER GARDE

 

Ash: The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!

 

Crowd: ONE FALL!

 

 

Shawn Harris walks calmly to the ring.

 

 

Ash: FIRST! Representing the Forgotten Brothers, From Manchester, England, weighing in at 220 pounds, AERIAL ASSASSIN SHAWN HARRIS!

 

In the corner Shawn puts his arms above his head and does a triangle with his hands.

 

Simon: Officially no longer a member of La Sangre Maldita I can see.

 

Kendra: And does in fact look better than before. 

 

Lenny: But I do have to ask... Forgotten? We can't seem to get away from Jack and Ass. Who's forgetting them?

 

 

Sounds of cannons blast off and "I, Emperor" begins playing. A hooded feminine figure appears on stage and lowers her hood to reveal herself as Isabella Van Der Garde.

 

 

Ash: AND HIS OPPONENT! From Den Helder, the Netherlands, ISABELLA VANNNNN DEEEER GARDE!!

 

She winks at a nearby camera before heading do the ramp. Once at ringside Isabella slides immediately underneath the bottom rope to not just enter the ring but slide all the way to the opposite ropes. Afterwards the Dutchwoman climbs up the ropes until she is bent over the top rope and she blows a kiss towards the crowd before shooting a cheeky wink towards the camera as she takes her cloak off and carefully drop it on the apron.

 

Kendra: Isabella was the 12th addition, the wild card and her Win Loss reflects that. 

 

Lenny: That's rude. 

 

Kendra: I mean let's be real, she's boxing above her weight. 

 

The bell rings!

 

Simon: Isabella going in for an arm wrench, and bending it into a full-on armbar. Throwing knees to Shawn Harris and bending that arm full behind him. 

 

Kendra: Ooh getting those knee shots right in his new face, that's brutal. And she's switching it up to boots, just trying to undo that handiwork and put pressure on those burns. This is more aggressive than I think we've seen Isabella in this tournament so far, trying to prove me wrong eh boo? 

 

Simon: Shawn trying to push back, get his feet moving towards the ropes and Isabella swings him back to the center oh but that's just increasing his momentum and he runs in the other direction and runs up the turnbuckle...Sliced Bread to Isabella!! 

 

Lenny: You can see him shaking off his arm, but continuing the run rolling back and loading into a Hidden Blade, he's gonna have to use his other arm to get the full impact and she jumps over the Blade! The arm soreness is already working in her favor, landing on her feet and quick into a run, coming around for a senton OH but he Monkey Flips her, to his feet and nails her with a Pele Kick! DAMN, I gotta give that to him. 

 

Kendra: Like I said, punching above her waist. 

 

Lenny: I dunno, she seems to be managing herself well.

 

Simon: He lands on his feet, arm drag to Isabella and Tiejeras! He goes for the run and Handspring Corkscrew Kick! Oh, but the pressure on his one arm looks to have stuttered him just the little bit, she spins to her feet and running senton! Going for a pin-

 

DeAndra: ONE! T-

 

Kendra: He pops his shoulder up and Monkey Flips her again OH she lands on her feet and Hip Drop!! Going for a pin again-

 

DeAndra: ONE! T-

 

Lenny: He kicks up. Still think she's punching above her weight? 

 

Kendra: Okay fine, she's earning her keep, but damned if he's not showing his skills here, chops with the good arm but she pulls THAT one and starts bending it back!! Once again going for the knees but he is able to get himself up and Tiejeras!! He's going to try for the Hidden Blade again, he's got her this time.

 

Simon: NO SHE CATCHES HIM INTO A BACKSLIDE PIN!!

 

DeAndra: ONE! 

 

Simon: He rolls out and going for the Enzuigiri, NO SHE DUCKS AND A STANDING DROPKICK!! He gets rolled back, she goes for a run and Hip Drop NO he rolls out of the way and she lands on her bum. 

 

Kendra: He springboards and Moonsault!! Going for a pin-

 

DeAndra: ONE! T-

 

Lenny: YESSS ISABELLA! GET THAT KICK OUT!

 

Simon: Harris undeterred, gets a run in and Shotgun Dropkick! He goes back up and that Springboard into the Moonsault NO Isabella catches HIM out with the knees this time. Isabella going to the top of the rope, and she goes for a....oh, looks like she is gonna get some kisses to the audience first HE GETS HER WITH A CHEEKY NANDOS KICK! 

 

Kendra: And THIS is what I meant, OH HE SPRINGBOARDS WITH A BURNING STAR PRESS AND MOUSETRAP PIN! 

 

DeAndra: ONE! TWO! THREE!

 

Aerial Assassin Shawn Harris wins by Pinfall!

 

 

Ash: HERE IS YOUR WINNER! AERIAL ASSASSIN SHAWN HARRIS!

 

Kendra: There he goes! 

 

Simon: Harris was able to get there without needing his arms too much. The ability to adapt is why Harris is going to be such a threat in this W2. Isabella remains goose egged as we head to commercial. 

 

 

Jake: Yo! I'm Jake Chen and I got a chance to try to the beta version of the new Wrestling Cell Phone Game "MAWL vs the World". It has a small base roster, but who IS here already is pretty badass. Let's get into it. First, JCM Ace and Big Ricky, who you can choose as a fighter but I like him as a manager. 

 

 

Jake: I decided to let the game pick an opponent for me. So it stuck me with Sombras, and hey, they already are with it and have Mal Sangre follow him.

 

 

Jake: The only ref in the beta was Damaris Peña, I wonder if there's a way she'll turn to DAMN. I've heard that DeAndra Jones and a bunch of others are gonna be in the full release and I trust that. 

 

 

Jake: I really dig the details, and hitting the 3rd Ave was AMAZING. Switching it up, I tried the tag team, playing as my dudes the Forgotten Brothers. 

 

 

Jake: For shits and giggles, I decided to fight Solemn Guardian and Isabella Van der Garde.

 

 

Jake: Isabella rocked me so hard, that my soul left my body. You know what though, I am not mad at it. Now, the game being MAWL vs The World, I noticed that the beta also included Def Jam and Jared Scythe so of course, I had to bring Sting Ray Steve Thunder and Manta Ray against them.

 

 

Jake: OH SHIT DEF ACTUALLY HAS A SCYTHE. Let me go tag in Sting. 

 

 

Jake: You KNOW we had to bring the Four Pillars into it, I brought Gozu into the ring against Nero, Scott Razor, and SM Heartbreaker. The moves were on point... Razor really brought that Cauldron Frenzy upside my head, but I brought the hammer down. Beautifully done match, and it got me excited about other matches we could try.

 

 

Jack: The last match I tried in this was a Rumble. The beta only allowed for 8 in the ring at a time, but I was able to jack the number of people up to 32 and I'm told it'll get to 64 or more in the full. 

 

 

Jake: There are some other surprises I was told not to post pictures of and save for my next post, but one thing I was able to sneak in. What I noticed from this shot is we did get some old versions, including pre-MAWL! Rade is in his 2019 Indies Green outfit, and slightly less shocking but still cool knocked on the ground, Ishani in her face form. We've also got WildFire, Ace Anarchy, Zora Luthor, Good Dude Greg Arias, and Ivan Volkov in this, and I decided to play as Capybara. If you wanna see Capybara absolutely mollywhop Ivan, a video game is how you're gonna do it. 

 

 

Simon: I'm not usually one for phone games, but I already find myself looking forward to this.

 

 

Lenny: Yeah man I'm lovin' the retro feel of it.

 

Simon: It's not THAT retro.

 

Lenny: Bro, it's givin' that SNES vibe, that old old. 

 

Simon: Watch it.

 

 

Kendra: You know that game's not gonna run on your Blackberry right?

 

Simon: That is strictly a phone number that I give to my m- anyway, we got the second half of our card. First half already set in motion a Tag Title Match for the Final Day and probably some other things too. 

 

Lenny: One o' those things is Riot Block's got a target on their back now. Which don't bode well for this next match.

 

AXEL VS JP SPEARS

 

 

Ash: The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!

 

Crowd: ONE FALL!

 

 

Hand Clapper starts playing and the crowd starts to clap along.

JP runs out as the tron starts to play his reel and he plays to the crowd, clapping to either side before starting a jog towards the ring. 

 

 

Ash: First! From Charlotte, North Carolina, weighing in at 215 pounds....J! P! SPEARS!!!

 

He slides under the bottom rope and takes off his cut-off T-shirt and throws it into the crowd.

 

Lenny: JP Spears didn't let his first loss get the better of him and was able to show up and show out against Mansin last time. Let's see what he can do against Axel.

 

 

The lights flicker on and off like in a dive bar. For the dirty guitar riffs light in the form of a Union Jack shoots outward a la the green X of DeGeneration X.

 

When the drum hits, Axel steps out and throws his arms up in glorious self-praise.

 

 

Ash: And his opponent! Representing Riot Block, from Scunthorpe, England, weighing 203 pounds, the self-described essence of Beautiful British Brutality, AXEL!

 

Suddenly-

 

 

Kendra: JARED JUMPING FROM THE BARRICADE AND MASTER CUTTER TO AXEL!!! HE DID NOT TAKE TOO KINDLY TO RIOT BLOCK'S ANTICS AND AXEL EATS STEEL!!!

 

Lenny: Jared charges Axel face first into the steps!!! And into the ring, where JP is lined up in wait.

 

The bell rings!

 

Kendra: I would not get up if I were Axel, oh but Axel is an idiot and to his feet...HIT STICK.

 

 

Lisa: ONE! TWO! THREE!

 

JP Spears wins by Pinfall!

 

 

Ash: HERE IS YOUR WINNER... J! P! SPEEEEEARS!

 

Simon: I firmly believe that he would have been lined up like that regardless of whether Axel got jumped. 

 

Kendra: Honestly, you're probably right. He's not the type to be unpredictable. 

 

Simon: On the other side of this, our next three matches are with competitors who haven't shown consistency, all four of them are 1-1 and are hoping to get on the right side of 50 percent. 

 

Lenny: It's more interesting when there's jeopardy, when it's not like "Oh here comes Dominance McDomination again."

 

Kendra: Ironically, Dominance McDomination went 0 for 11 in the 2021 W2, one of the few full goose eggs this event has ever seen. She said she'd be coming back but I've yet to see her, I think she's putting herself in the greater Indie scene.

 

MAYU IWATANI VS IMOGEN

 

Ash: The following contest is scheduled for One Fall!

 

Crowd: ONE FALL!

 

 

Mayu Iwatani comes onto the stage and gives the "hand heart" to a cheering crowd, to which she then does the pirate searching.

 

 

Ash: First! From Mine, Yamaguchi, Japan.... MAAAAAYU IWATANI!!!

 

Mayu skips down the ramp, giving the emo heart to those in the crowd. 

 

Kendra: The cheery disposition can fool you quickly, Mayu is an absolute beast in the ring. 

 

Mayu slides into the ring and pumps the crowd up.

 

 

The lights in the arena move into a rotating rainbow that projects all seven colors in a sort of tunnel that extends outwards and continuously spins as the guitar riff hits intensely. Imogen runs out with party sunglasses on-

 

 

-and concert jumps for a bit onstage before running full-steam down the apron slapping hands. 

 

Ash: AND her opponent, from Fort Wayne, Indiana, one half of the Edelweiss Brigade, The Unstable Unicorn, IMOGEN!

 

Imogen stops at the "WAHHOOOOO" and Sting screams it with the audience. She gets them pumped at "What a life, what a life, what a life what a life" before they do the next "WAHOOOO" together and Imogen jumps on the apron and immediately clears the ropes with a backflip into the ring, with a line of fireworks in the colors of the rainbow shooting off HBK style.

 

Lenny: I love Imogen's shift from me to we. Since shedding her egotist persona, she's been active in Make-a-Wish, community organizing, pro-LGBTQ events.

 

Kendra: She should spend more time training.

 

Imogen offers Mayu a high five which without hesitation she takes. Imogen nods and jumps into her corner again. 

 

The bell rings!

 

Simon: Double leg takedown by Mayu to start and she's going in with those punches, just keeping Imogen on the defensive from the start. Imogen gets her arms and flips her over and off, but Mayu comes back in with a dropkick to settle her out. 

 

Kendra: Imogen stayed too long in the moment and she paid for it. Mayu pulls her up and a Belly to Belly suplex... NO! IMOGEN LANDS ON HER FEET AND GIVES IT RIGHT BACK TO HER!

 

Lenny: You can't count her out, Kendra. Imogen hits an arm drag, another arm drag, and Spinebuster! Imogen getting the crowd going now, off the ropes... Mayu monkey flips her but Imogen parlays it into a front flip, spins backwards and lands a moonsault! 

 

 

Classic Jenny: ONE! T-

 

Simon: Mayu gets her shoulder up, Imogen attempting to take that shoulder to task with an armbar no Mayu flips back to her feet and flips Imogen, locks in a Cross Armbreaker! Iwatani is one of these icons that can look at any angle of a match and figure out how to get herself where she needs. 

 

Lenny: I believe in Imogen though, I know she can pull herself out of this one and just look at that breakdance spin, trips Mayu, coming off the ropes and a Somersault Senton! Going to try to cover Mayu again-

 

Classic Jenny: ONE!

 

Kendra: Mayu gets the shoulder up! She's not gonna be a quick end, kid. 

 

Simon: Imogen with an Irish Whip, looking for a Back Body Drop MAYU REVERSES INTO THE DODONPA CRUCIFIX DRIVER! And a cover-

 

Classic Jenny: ONE! TW-

 

Lenny: YES! GET UP QUEEN! 

 

Simon: Both of them to their feet, DOUBLE SUPERKICK! THEY BOTH GO DOWN!!

 

Classic Jenny: ONE! TWO! 

 

Simon: Ties are possible, so they could end up our first one of the event if one of them can't get up.

 

Classic Jenny: THREE! FOUR!

 

Lenny: COME ON! GET UP! Don't let it end like this!

 

Classic Jenny: FIVE! SIX!

 

 

Kendra: Looks like Mayu's bad day is about to get worse. Maki and Miu approaching from the North, Dark Sails from the South. At least Dark Sails are distracting the count, but that's a very small silver lining for the woman who got buried alongside Aiko by this very group at Graveyard Shift.

 

Lenny: Miu pulling Mayu up, Maki's got those knuckles, oh this is about to go real South. Maki's hatred for Aiko is historic at this point, and it's spilled over onto anyone touching the same grass.

 

Simon: Maki taking an inordinate amount of time to hit Mayu, is she playing for drama? 

 

Kendra: No...it appears she's presenting... a flower?

 

Lenny: It does appear to be a black lotus... oh no.

 

Simon: Your concern is valid, Lenny. Mayu Iwatani's one brush with the dark side was her two weeks as a member of the Black Lotus Triad representing the very same place in this faction's name. 

 

Lenny: Don't do it, Mayu!

 

Kendra: Be kinda dumb not to. And Mayu takes the flower, and she puts it behind her ear! Maki hands her the knuckles...Miu picks up Imogen and MAYU CLOCKS HER! MIU AND MAKI HOLD IMOGEN DOWN...MAYU TO THE TOP...FROG SPLASH!! 

 

Simon: That's another one off Aiko's squad. What a dark moment. 

 

Kendra: Imogen was doing the same only half a year ago. She had this coming. Maki calls Dark Sails off and Jenny sees the fall in progress.

 

Classic Jenny: ONE! TWO! THREE!

 

Mayu Iwatani wins by Pinfall!

 

 

Ash: Here is your winner... MAYU IWATANI!

 

Maki and Miu hold up Mayu's hands as she blows her bangs out of her face and smirks. 

 

Simon: What a mess. And Miu and Maki pick Imogen up... MAYU KNUCKLES HER AGAIN. Well, go enjoy your new team I guess.

 

Kendra: She learned an important lesson. God may reward good, but gold don't. 

 

Lenny: So onto the next one we go, right? Get away from this mess.

 

JAMES D VS PHYSIO JOKER

 

Ash: The following contest is scheduled for One Fall!

 

Crowd: ONE FALL!

 

 

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

 

 

Ash: FIRST! From New York City, NY, weighing in at 190 pounds, the Most Interesting Man in the WOOOOORLD, JAMES D!

 

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

 

The arena turns Dark as sinister laughter is heard before a old radio begins to play through static You either Die a Hero… or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain

 

Closer to the edge begins to play

 

 

A long Piano, key note solo is heard before the base of the song begins to play The lights begin to flash red and back to normal ,as Joker is now shown standing on the entrance stage with a cold heartless stare.

 

 

Kendra: Physio absolutely dominated Zora Luthor in Round 1, but couldn't get the job done against Shade Shadow. Let's see what happens with James D.

 

Joker is shown now with a Half broken crown on his head and a Egyptian golden snake charm around his neck to represent the true evil that has become

Joker looks over to his right to the camera and smirks before speaking I am the villain that everyone loves to hate, but loves when I win , Joker then winks at the camera as he takes off the Half broken crown and snake charm and gives it to someone off screen

 

The crowd becomes split as most cheers but some boos

Joker looks around and brushes pass the camera and slowly walks to the ring

 

Ash: Introducing last, from The tombs of the kings, The Heartless One Physio JOKER!!!

 

Joker looks bored as he walks to the ring

The feed follows Joker stops and listens to a fan yell at him. Joker just stops and turns and looks at the Fan his cold eyes before smirking at the fan

 

Joker slides into the ring and sits crossed in the middle of the ring holding up 4 fingers.

 

The bell rings! 

 

Simon: Both Physio and James standing at a corner, staring each other down, neither wanting to make the first attempt. 

 

Kendra: They're both wily that way, they know it's easy to catch someone out. But somebody has to strike first and here comes James going for a running bulldog but Physio doesn't come with him! James airballs, Physio picks him up and Powerbomb! Physio takes a run back, James to his his feet and eats a Sling Blade.

 

Lenny: They both knew what was gonna happen, but you can't call yourself the Most Interesting Man in the World and just stand there. 

 

Simon: Physio mounts himself on James and driving knees into his ribs, James trying to push him off but Physio brings himself right back down with a brutal double knee to the sternum. Physio hooks the leg-

 

 

Carter: ONE! 

 

Kendra: Shoulder up, and the Head of Officiating breaks the count.

 

Lenny: What's the difference between Head of Officiating and Head Referee?

 

Simon: So Carter hires refs, trains refs, and DeAndra is the one they go to to make tough calls or if something goes over a ref's head. Trust me when I say you need two different people in those positions and they definitely check each other. And Carter's got his eyes locked tight on this match, avoiding any funny business between James and Joker. 

 

Kendra: Right now it's all brutality business as they're trading elbow for elbow. Physio gets James in a headlock and driving the bionic shots into him, James whips Physio off into a run, Physio coming back around with a huracanrana NO James vetoes and slides him down and into a German Suplex!

 

Simon: James D starting to get some real moves in. Physio rolls away from the impact but James cuts him off at the knees with a dropkick, takes a run and coming back with a dropkick to the head of Physio! James to the top and Elbow Drop! Going for the cover-

 

Carter: ONE! T-

 

Lenny: Physio gets the shoulder up, James parlays the pin into a Sleeperhold, Physio ain't gonna tap out though. Physio fighting to his feet, James wrenches him back down. Physio ain't givin' up, pushin' back to his feet again, elbow to the gut of James D! Another! Irish Whip to James D, catches him on the rebound with a Powerbomb and Physio hooks the leg-

 

Carter: ONE! T-

 

Kendra: James shoulder up, Physio locking him into an armbar, bending back for the Fujiwara OH and James uses his free arm to hook the leg, trips Physio to the ground and some runway, James D running back and charging forward PHYSIO EVADES THE D STOYER KNEE AND JAMES D SPILLS OUT TO THE APRON.

 

Lenny: Physio decides he's gonna have words with fans but that was dumb, James didn't even hit the floor... Springboard Bulldog by James!! James coming off the ropes now, D STROYER KNEE CONNECTS!

 

Carter: ONE! TWO! THREE!

 

James D wins by Pinfall!

 

 

Ash: HERE IS YOUR WINNER.... THE MOST INTERESTING MAN IN THE WOOOORLD... JAMES D!

 

Simon: You can be the smartest man on the block, the most talented, the strongest, but if you take your eyes away at the wrong time it can be enough to lose the thread.

 

Kendra: And with that onto the A Group we go.

 

RED GHOST VS JCM ACE

 

Ash: The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!

 

Crowd: ONE FALL!

 

 

Red Ghost comes out, crowbar in hand, ready to start some shit.

 

 

Ash: FIRST! From Boston, Massachusetts, weighing in at 97 kilograms and representing Psycho Supremacy, RED GHOST! 

 

Ghost comes down whistling and swinging his crowbar.

 

Lenny: I was mad at him last time but there's something about tricking SM's ass that endears one to me.

 

Kendra: The word backstage is that Big Ricky laid out a lot of SM's team to prevent Deck of Hearts from interfering and, quote, "making my dude look like a chump who needs your help."

 

Lenny: He also has SM sitting in place under threat of the moon? That one I didn't get. Moon hasn't been doing so-

 

Kendra whispers into Lenny's ear.

 

Lenny: Oh. OH. OHHH. Oh? Oh.

 

Simon: Last time we said that name on TV, SM served us with a lawsuit seeking recompense for "damage both emotional and material" because of course SM's fancy undergarments are both artisanal and dry-clean only.

 

"I'M COMMMMING"

 

 

The arena lights dim, with red and white strobes sweeping the crowd.

 

Ace walks down the ramp with calculated calm, his movements deliberate and his gaze unflinching.

 

 

Ash: And his opponent! From Florida, weighing in at 300 pounds, JCM AAAAACE!!!

 

The crowd boos him relentlessly, but Ace feeds off the heat with a smug, unbothered smirk.

Midway down the ramp, he stops and examines the arena, eyes fixated on the prize.

 

Kendra: You think Red Ghost gets his pants from the same source as SM?

 

Lenny: I hope not. Red Ghost would never show it on his face, but your question is well-asked.

 

He climbs into the ring with slow, deliberate movements, scanning the arena before leaning casually against the ropes, waiting for the bell to ring.

 

The bell rings!

 

Simon: Red Ghost charges JCM Ace and that was the dumbest thing he could have done. JCM gets him up, Ace Bomb, this one is over.

 

 

DeAndra: ONE! TWO! THREE!

 

JCM Ace wins by Pinfall!

 

 

Ash: Here is your winner, JCM ACE!

 

Simon: And with a quickness, JCM joins James D and Mayu Iwatani in getting ahead in the count, while Red Ghost joins Physio Joker and Imogen on the wrong side of the tracks.

 

Kendra: So we swing back down to the D group, where Mansin hopes to finally dig out of the hole he is in. We incorrectly reported last time that he beat Stitches the Clown, but the truth is he is walking in an 0-2 space right now.

 

MANSIN VS VIOLET

 

 

The lights flicker on and off as if they are bulbs running out of energy in a dark room. Mansin stands at the apron.

 

 

Ash: First! From the Shadows of his Own Mind-

 

When from the crowd...

 

 

Kendra: That's a whole lotta women with chains just absolutely going hog wild on Mansin! Man's bad luck continues, but until the bell rings this is a legal beatdown!! Rolling in and dissipating-

 

The bell rings!

 

Lenny: And Violet sits on the beaten down Mansin. This is embarrassing.

 

Lisa: ONE. TWO. THREE.

 

Violet wins by Pinfall.

 

 

Ash: Here is your winner. Violet.

 

Simon: 3 losses right from jump in an 11-match event means you have to pull some winning streaks quickly. Every next loss becomes increasingly possible to be the one that makes you officially ineligible depending on what happens around you.

 

Lenny: Can we move on to...well damn. The next match doesn't look to be any more promising. In most scenarios 2 people defending an undefeated streak makes for truly exciting watching. But Jassy stole her first two wins with the use of her army and oh look, they have their sack again.

 

Sure enough, Jassy and co. come out with their big ol' sack. 

 

 

JASSY "VS" PINOY POWER SURGE

 

They drag the sack down to boos. Out spills Pinoy Power Surge-

 

 

-And she starts swinging!!

 

Simon: OH! WE GOT A LIVE ONE!!

 

She starts to connect with Daria and Iris, but then Bianca gets her with a taser-gun. As Pinoy starts to go down, Iris and Daria use taser-guns as well. Jassy nods them off.

 

Kendra: And Jassy splays out like a 40s model over Pinoy.

 

Bianca: Count, idiot.

 

Classic Jenny: ONE. TWO. THREE.

 

Jassy wins by Pinfall.

 

 

Ash: Here is your winner, Jassy.

 

Simon: What a shitshow. At least our next match will be prop-

 

The lights flash out. Static abounds everywhere. When the lights come back on, Schmetterling and Magnus are critically beaten up and chained up in crucifixion fashion on two giant Aztec symbols. 

 

 

A team of EMTs takes them done from the symbol as the quiet comes over the crowd. Colin comes out, but no music this time. He looks on the verge of rageful tears.

 

 

Colin: I... I am at a loss for words. 

 

Colin tries to compose himself. 

 

Colin: You all deserve better than this. The fighters deserve better than this. The crowd deserves better than this. Humanity deserves better than this. I tried to put guardrails in place for this event, and that was undercut for a personal gripe.

 

The crowd murmurs a bit.

 

Colin: Schmetterling and Magnus will be able to return to action, but not in time for the rest of this event and I hope in time for Heart Condition. I hope for a speedy and full recovery. My final act as General Manager, my final act in MAWL, will be to find their replacements for this event.

 

Kendra: Wait, what??

 

Colin: After that, Leila, the show's all yours. You don't need a General Manager if there's only one show. You want to run this like a circus, I've tried to hold the line and the water here behind the desk for a decade and in this seat for about 7 months give or take and I'm tired. I'm so tired. So go ahead. Let this place go to chaos, let this fall back into its corruption and mess, but know you're doing these fans a TREMENDOUS disservice when you do that. 

 

Colin breathes.

 

Colin: I will always love you guys. I will always treasure this place, especially what it was. But as for what it's become... I've been betrayed by my long time partner in crime, my former best friend, and tonight I watched her heartlessly tase a competitor to steal a win for her leader. I watched the man who won this event last year beaten and chained up by two idiot podcasters in problematic garb - yes, it's very clearly you - over some conspiracy. And maybe they're right. Maybe they're wrong. I was blamed by one of my favorite up-and-comers... the woman tased by my former partner... for something that I can only base off footage the federation gave me. I may take some time to delve deeper into this while I see what other, saner feds need. Because I truly don't know. 

 

I want this place to succeed. I want its amazing roster of fighters to flourish, and get the worldwide recognition they deserve. But guys, I can't do this any more. I am going to go home and hold my boyfriend tight, figure out who's coming into these increasingly empty slots, and then the gingerbread house comes down. I love you.

 

Colin puts the microphone down. The crowd chants "Thank You Colin." He takes it in for a moment, bows, and walks out of the ring.

 

Simon: Wow. I... I truly wasn't expecting that. Perhaps we should have. He came out here earlier in this event to fix this constant interruption issue, and Leila almost immediately blew it up. 

 

Kendra: The Ginger snapped. 

 

Lenny: Yo. That's not cool. 

 

The crowd continues to chant "Thank You Colin" for a bit to an empty ring. 

 

Simon: We... we have to break the sadness in the room. We have 5 more fights to go. So, hopefully these last 10 competitors will see the task in front of them. To see a crowd that came here not for cheap tricks and emotional ambush, but for brutality. Let's. Go.

 

WILL CORRIGAN VS NEONYX NOTORIO

 

Ash: The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL.

 

Crowd: ONE FALL!

 

Lenny: The crowd is still with us. Good. Love you guys.

 

 

As the lights drop, the arena is plunged into darkness, the only illumination coming from pulsating neon strobes flashing in sync with the beat of his entrance theme. A slight fog rolls across the stage, shrouding the entranceway in a hazy glow.

 

As the beat drops, the titantron lights up with a mesmerizing display of neon dragons swirling around each other, twisting and coiling in an endless cycle of movement, their glowing bodies pulsing in rhythm with the music.

 

After a few moments, Neonyx Notorio steps onto the stage with an undeniable aura of confidence, his movements slow and deliberate as he surveys the crowd, drinking in his own self-importance.

 

 

Ash: First! From Los Angeles, California, weighing in at 225 pounds, The Neon Dragon, NEONYX NOTORIO!!

 

He walks arrogantly down the ramp, exuding an air of untouchable charisma, taking calculated pauses to turn his head and scan the audience as if basking in his own greatness.

 

Simon: Neonyx and Will Corrigan are a tale of two cities right now. Will Corrigan has yet to lose in this event, Neo has yet to win. Neo is hoping to change his luck here and now.

 

As he reaches the ring, he effortlessly jumps onto the apron before quickly rushing up the turnbuckle. Standing tall, he places his hands behind his back, scanning the crowd as if daring them to match his energy. Without hesitation, he front flips off the turnbuckle, landing with a smooth roll into a kneeling position on one leg. He bows his head into his balled fist before slowly looking up and pointing toward the crowd before finally standing and adjusting his gloves, fully in his element.

 

 

Will Corrigan leaves the stage with a slow and controlled walk.

 

 

Ash: AND HIS OPPONENT! Possibly from New Zealand, possibly from Australia, at 127kg, WILL CORRIGAN!!

 

Before going down the ramp, he stops and observes his opponent in his eyes/the ring and continues to stare at him for the entire time of the journey. To enter the ring, he clings to the first rope to give himself the momentum to jump and enter the ring through the ropes.

 

Kendra: And to Neo I say good luck kid. Will took out bigger, stronger dudes than you.

 

Lenny: Right, but also slightly slower. I think two things to consider here, Neonyx is the fastest fighter that Slow Joe here has fought so far, and Neo's first losses were against former champions which I don't believe that Will is?

 

Once inside the ring, he places himself in the center and aggressively stares at the camera before taking off his jacket and positioning himself in its corner.

 

The bell rings!

 

Simon: Neo already off the ropes, bouncing back with a Cartwheel Handspring Kick! Will is moved... not very far. Neo undeterred, back around, running knee strike at Mach 1 velocity... Will once again gets pushed back an inch or two. Neo jumps up, headscissors take down! That'll do it!

 

Lenny: This is exactly what I mean, fastest opponent so far. 

 

Kendra: This will all be short lived, just you wait. 

 

Simon: Springboard Corkscrew Splash and going for a pin-

 

DeAndra: ONE!

 

Kendra: Will kicks out at one, back to his feet and a brutal punch that topples Neo backwards, OH but okay Neo keeps rolling and back to his feet, front flip and a lariat. Once again, Will does not seem that impressed, and he blasts Neo with a headbutt. Neo rolls back, rolls back at him, kip up dropkick. Will's gonna need to put a stick in the wheel here to get a window, I'm sure it won't be a problem.

 

Simon: Neo up to the top... Luna de la Muerte NO Will gets his knees up and Neo's gonna take the brunt of his own weight. 

 

Kendra: Wheel meet stick.

 

Simon: Will blasting Neo into a corner... running boot! And he continues on with some solid head punches just driving Neo down into a puddle.

 

Lenny: Silly man, this is just giving Neo a chance to get away from this turnbuckle mess, slides between Will's legs up at the other side and pop up dropkick pushes Will into the corner!! Neo to the outside, top of the turnbuckle, he's looking for that Canadian Destroyer!

 

Kendra: OOOH But Will Back Body Drops him, gets himself up to the top rope, and coming down for the STOMP OH NO NEONYX BARELY EVADES! Neo sweeps the leg and takes Will off his feet! Neo puts Will's foot over the rope, leapfrogs Will and Mushroom Stomp to the leg!! I doubt Will is letting any emotions out but that looks like it hurt. Neo going for it again and the leap WILL MOVES HIS FOOT! NEONYX GOES TO THE OUTSIDE AND WILL BOOTS HIM RIGHT TOWARDS US!

 

Simon: Very rarely am I happy to have a table between us. Will... wait... what is he doing...

 

DeAndra: ONE! TWO!

 

Lenny: WILL CORRIGAN CLEARS THE TOP ROPE AND SUICIDE STOMP!!! HE DRIVES NEO'S HEAD INTO THE TABLE!!!

 

Crowd: THIS IS AWESOME! THIS IS AWESOME!

 

Simon: This is why these all the Golden Groupers and Rolf I think we may need to come join you soon, Will clearing off our table!

 

DeAndra: ONE! TWO!

 

Kendra: TOMBSTONE THROUGH THE TABLE!

 

DeAndra: THREE! FOUR! 

 

Lenny: I think Will you should probably get back in the ring now.

 

DeAndra: FIVE! SIX!

 

Kendra: Will agrees, heading back and into the ring.

 

DeAndra: SEVEN! EIGHT!

 

Simon: This looks like it's over, Neonyx barely starting to get to his feet.

 

DeAndra: NINE! TEN!

 

Will Corrigan wins by Count Out!

 

 

Ash: Here is your winner, WILL CORRIGAN!!

 

Lenny: Normally count-out is a crap way to win, but given what got us there, I think the crowd will forgive it this time.

 

Simon: At least it's a win on his own accord. Each group now has one match left for the day. 

 

Kendra: So here we go!

 

GILBERTO J VS XEL

 

Ash: The following contest is scheduled for One Fall!

 

Crowd: ONE FALL!

 

 

Arena dims to black. A single beam of blue light hits the stage as XEL emerges slowly.

 

 

Ash: First! From Aurora Valley, weighing in at 215 pounds, XEL!!!

 

LED wristbands in the crowd sync to his theme. Fog rolls in as light beams converge behind him, forming a glowing “X” in the air.

 

Simon: What's wild about this is that they're both 1-1 but XEL but the person who beat Gilberto. So this match will show if it's a transitive property or a Roshambo sort of arrangement.

 

 

As the song's preamble plays through the speakers, the lights go out. The fans decide to illuminate their surroundings with their cell phones and a few small, low-powered flashlights. They look like stars in the infinity of cold outer space. A white mist begins to cover the entrance aisle to the ring. And suddenly, the silhouette of a robust wrestler appears, holding an old lantern; one of those kerosene ones. Masked with what appears to be a dried animal skin mask... A lamb, specifically... Along with the music, he abruptly tears off his mask, revealing himself as Gilberto J.

 

 

Ash: And his opponent! From The Jungle, weighing in at 285 pounds, the King of the Jungle, GILBERTO J!

 

Lenny: Gilberto's anger after getting clowned by Violet is going to mean very bad things for XEL.

 

At the same time, he begins his walk to the ring. He walks heavily, each step slow but deliberate. A smile is visible on his face; like a predator finding its prey. He continues this way until his entrance is complete, entering the ring under the ropes; laughing out loud. 

 

The bell rings!

 

Kendra: Somehow I don't think Gilberto is gonna understand the assignment... XEL charges him and tilt-a-whirl headscissors coming NO GILBERTO ABLE TO GET XEL'S HEAD ON THE SPINAROUND AND IS GONNA MAKE HIM BLEED BEFORE THE JUNGLE!!! SCOOPS HIM UP WITH THE DOUBLE UNDERHOOK...SITDOWN DOUBLE UNDERHOOK POWERBOMB! FACTOR J!!! NOUN, VERB, PERIOD.

 

Lisa: ONE! TWO! THREE!

 

Gilberto J wins by Pinfall!

 

 

Ash: Here is your winner, the King of the Jungle, GILBERTO J!

 

A deep laugh echoes through the arena. Gilberto J stretches his arms out to his shoulders, palms open as he continues to cackle. After a few seconds, he stops laughing and frivolously observes his fallen rival, dropping to his knees beside him, yelling "KNEEL BEFORE THE JUNGLE KING".

 

Lenny: Well that was certainly a quick in and out. What's next?

 

Simon: So we're just gonna pass over Colin rage quitting? 

 

Kendra: No, I have some champagne on ice for this day, I just didn't want you to tell me it was gauche. 

 

Simon: So you know it's gauche.

 

Kendra: To you.

 

Lenny: Naw man I grew up listening to the dude. This is rough. But Colin man I support you whatever you decide to do.

 

Simon: Maybe we should have just passed it over.

 

Lenny: I tried dude. Alfos is the next man trying to reroute his time in this W2.

 

ALFOS VS THOR

 

Ash: The following contest is scheduled for One Fall!

 

Crowd: ONE FALL!

 

 

The lights go white with vertical blue lasers showing out around the arena. Alfos comes out to a decent amount of cheers, pounds his chest twice and raises his arms with a shout.

 

 

Ash: First! From Portsmouth, England, weighing 245 pounds, ALFOS!!

 

Alfos walks down the ramp with pure laser focus on the ring, gradually picking his pace up without breaking focus until it becomes almost a jog. He slides into the ring without breaking stride and begins pacing in his corner, ready to fight.

 

Thunder crashes around the arena, and a "lightning bolt" hits the top of the Titantron as the music starts-

 

 

-and Thor stands on the Tron with his hammer held high.

 

 

Ash: And his opponent! From Belize, weighing in at 245 pounds, THE KING OF KINGS, THOR!

 

Thor ziplines down to the ring Hammer held high, and lands in the center of the ring, in Superhero pose.

 

The bell rings!

 

Simon: Thor and Alfos just wasting no time, throwing fists at each other.

 

Lenny: This is the world in which Alfos lives, the one he's most comfortable in, and that's brawlin'. 

 

Kendra: Just workin' that ribcage of Thor, who is doing what he can to get face shots in. 

 

Simon: Thor with the Irish Whip, trying to catch him with an arm drag and Alfos blocks it, Alfos loads up for the ONE BANG THOR GETS HIS HAND! It's a feat of strength and Thor overpowering Alfos NO Alfos trips him and mounted punches! 

 

Lenny: Thor was not expecting Alfos to outsmart him, but even brawlers have brains. 

 

Kendra: Thor Monkey Flips him off, Alfos quick to his feet and going for that One Bang again NO Thor ducks it and gets him up on his shoulders, looking to wrap this one up neatly with MJÖLNIR'S WRATH ALFOS PULLS DOWN INTO A DDT! Alfos lifts Thor up by the throat, this could go one of two ways OH or it could go a third which is Thor with a rattling gut punch to Alfos and he felt that one.

 

Lenny: Thor getting those hammer blows in! Thor coming off the ropes, we could be about to be getting a Stormbreaker Axe Kick and Thor goes for it LOW BLOW BY ALFOS! ALFOS GETS HIM UP BY THE THROAT AND LIFTING HIM HIGH...THAT DOCKYARD DROP CHOKESLAM BAYBEE! 

 

Classic Jenny: ONE! TWO! THREE!

 

Alfos wins by Pinfall!

 

 

Ash: HERE IS YOUR WINNER, ALFOS!!

 

Kendra: Alfos does what others were unable to do today, he stopped the bleeding and gets himself on the board. Here's hoping that he can move onward and upward. 

 

Simon: Two matches to go, the first of which seems like it'll be an open and shut case.

 

LULU ANTARIKSA VS KYU KETSU

 

Ash: The following contest is scheduled for One Fall!

 

Crowd: ONE FALL!

 

 

A thick white fog rolls across the stage as the lights dim. A single spotlight follows Kyu Ketsu as he steps forward.

 

 

Ash: First! From Feudal Japan, weighing in at 200 pounds, the Vampire Samurai, KYU KETSU!

 

Above him, the screen displays a blood-red moon. His eyes remain locked on the ring, unwavering. He enters the ring before draping his cape over the ropes, after which he gets on all fours and peers beneath, giving the crowd a sadistic smile and a deliberate and slow wave.

 

 

Lulu Antariksa runs out pumping up the crowd. 

 

 

Ash: And his opponent! From Santa Clarita, California, LULU ANTARIKSA!!

 

Lulu high-fives the front row and slides into the ring.

 

Lenny: Look, she's a good actress but I don't think any of us expect her to get out of this one intact.

 

The bell rings!

 

Kendra: Yep, he pulls her in and already getting those arm drags in. She goes down once, goes down twice, goes down-

 

Lenny: Chicken soup with rice.

 

Simon: -three times and he's got the Dragon Sleeper in to complete the Death Lotus-what's this now?

 

 

Kendra: Flora Peligrosa is out here and... I don't think she's a part of any of this, and I heard that EM Powered let her go after losing the title...but she's getting in the ref's face-

 

 

Kendra: LEXXUS OC SMASHES KYU IN THE HEAD WITH A BRIEFCASE! LULU COLLAPSES ON TOP OF HIM AND LEXXUS PUTS A BUSINESS CARD IN LULU'S HAND!

 

Lenny: I don't think she's aware of any of this, but it doesn't change the fact that Lexxus just turned the tide of this match and gave Lulu her first win! 

 

Carter: ONE! TWO! THREE!

 

Lulu Antariksa wins by Pinfall!

 

 

Ash: Here is your winner, Lulu Antariksa!

 

Lexxus pulls out a mic.

 

Lexxus: Oh Lulu.... Lulu... wakey wakey. 

 

Lulu stirs and realizes her hand is being raised.

 

Lexxus: Congrats girly! You won. This was a freebie. If you want more victories like this, all you have to do is call my card, and the brand new Estraga Corporation will be more than happy to represent you. I'll give you to the end of the W2 event to think about it. Tata babe.

 

Lulu sits with the card in her hand, confused. As she un-dazes, she walks to the back.

 

Ash: And now it's time for our Main Event!

 

 

DEF JAM VS JAGUAR KING

 

Ash: And it is scheduled for ONE FALL!

 

Crowd: ONE FALL!

 

 

The lights go dark, resembling a New York Street, with Purple Siren lights going off. Jaguar King stands on the stage and punches down, with a crown firework going off around him.

 

 

Ash: First! Representing the Animalities, from New York, New York, weighing in at 248 pounds, JAGUAR KING!

 

Jaguar King walks down the ramp with intent, occasionally high fiving fans as he comes.

 

Simon: Jaguar and Jam are right now in an even space with a 1-1. Someone is coming out of this in a much better space.

 

Lenny: Whatever happens, these two are gonna put on a CLINIC. As long as Jared and crew stay away. 

 

Jaguar King jumps onto the apron and flips in. 

 

"XTREEEEEME"

 

 

"You'll be a corpse before your time" by The Sleeping plays over the PA as "Welcome to the Land of the Xtreme" shows on the titantron.

 

Defjam jogs out of the back onto the stage and stares out to the fans before crossing his arms above his head in an "X".
