HELSINKI OLYMPIC STADIUM
Fireworks go off as "Cha, Cha, Cha" plays in Helsinki Olympic Stadium.
Colin: Welcome back to the W2!!! I'm Colin McRae with the amazing announcing team from Gung Ho, Sherman Grace and Valerie Thomas. We are back with the B group, where many of our guests from all over the wrestleverse have converged. Day 1 in the B group had some huge surprises related to these myriad X-Factors.
Sherman: You're not wrong, Colin. Tamara Rivers got absolutely clowned by El Señor Pikachu, and Dan Hammer got robbed by Sex Appeal's antics. If he's smart, he'll show up with his posse today and prevent that from happening again.
Valerie: At the very least, take a lesson from his cohorts of Path DefJam and Jared Scythe and get in get out with a quickness.
Colin: He and Rufus are going to be trying to prevent their single loss from becoming a pattern, with several matches in each group in the same boat including in a shocker Rade, and our first match of the night, Wonderwolf vs Vain Plato.
Sherman: You forgot to call him beautiful.
Colin: I'll call him beautiful when he wins a match.
VAIN PLATO VS WONDERWOLF
Ash: The following contest is scheduled for One Fall!!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
Vain Plato walks to the stage with a montage played on the Platotron5000 of Plato’s most beautiful posing moments.
Ash: FIRST! Born in Rome, Italy but reisiding in Las Vegas, weighing in at 260 pounds.... The BEAUTIFUL ONE, VAIN PLATO!
Plato turns his back to the crowd, the arena goes dark and a spotlight appears over him. Plato starts to muscle pose whilst holographic roses appear on the walls.
Sherman: Well, at least Ash got it right.
Colin: They're reading off their provided cards.
Plato then walks to the ring and the lights turn back on and Plato stands in the center of the ring and begins to gyrate and blows a kiss at the camera.
Arena Lights go out, while heavy fog starts filling the entrance ramp, Wonderwolf's logo flashes over the screen, and an introductory video starts playing, as Wonderwolf makes his way to the ring with his entrance music.
Ash: And his opponent! From Amsterdam, Netherlands, weighing at 200 pounds, WONDERWOLF!
The light go out and a spotlight hits the center of the ring where Wonderwolf starts howling.
The bell rings!
Colin: Vain Plato going right for a Superkick and Wonderwolf ducks, grabs the leg, and an ankle lock! Vain reaching for the ropes, Wonderwolf pulls him to the center and Plato with an enzuigiri!
Sherman: Wonder to his feet and Vain catches him out with an Atomic Drop, off the ropes and a DDT! Better get prepared to use the big B, Colin.
Colin: Not over until Vain Plato sings.
Valerie: Isn't the phrase the f...oh you're mean. Vain picks Wonder up and a backbreaker! Going to the legs and a Sharpshooter! Wonder now trying to get to the ropes, and he's successful! Vain refusing to break the hold..
Lisa: ONE! TWO! THREE! F-
Sherman: Vain lets go, Wonder using the ropes, and a Diving Headbutt to gain control of the match! Wonder with a Fisherman DDT, and getting that Kimura locked in, or as we know it, the Wolf Lock!!
Valerie: Vain trying to get himself to the ropes, once again finding himself in peril, getting the legs close, and he pushes himself off with the leg to a form of lateral press-
Lisa: ONE! TWO!
Colin: WONDERWOLF ROLLS HIM INTO A SIDE CRADLE!!
Lisa: ONE! TWO! THREE!
Wonderwolf wins by Pinfall!
Ash: Here is your winner, WONDERWOLF!!
Colin: Guess I still won't have to call him Beautiful. Ohhhh well.
Valerie: And on we go to the next match.
Sherman: And this is going from two people trying to avoid the 0-2 to two people seeking a 2-0.
SLANG DANG VS STORM RIDER
Ash: The following contest is scheduled for One Fall!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
Storm Rider steps onto the stage and just keeps moving, eyes locked firmly on the ring.
Ash: First! From New Islington, Manchester, England, weighing in at 190 pounds, STORM RIDER!
Sherman: After he shut down everyone's favorite overrated wrestler Steve Thunder last time, Storm Ride is going headfirst into this match full of worthy confidence.
Some fans cheer, some boo, but Storm Rider doesn't care as he rolls into the ring.
Slang Dang walks out of the gate hyping up the crowd, he taps the left wrist with his right hand. When he is done, he points to the ring and smirks, and an “X” pyro explode from turnbuckle to turnbuckle.
Ash: And his opponent! From The Dog House, weighing in at 180 pounds, SLANG DANG!
He walks to the ring clapping the hands to his fans.
Colin: After his statement win against Moon last time, the fans are just that much more excited.
The bell rings!
Valerie: Storm Rider is right in with the bell and absolutely wastes no time just BLASTING Slang Dang with hooks, showing him how they do it in England, and Uppercut! Irish Whipping Slang Dang and catching him out with a Powerbomb! Going for a quick pin-
Jenny: ONE!
Sherman: Slang gets the shoulder up, and that's gonna end the pin but Storm lifts himself up just enough and then right back down with a flurry of mounted punches. Slang's gonna have a real hard time if he can't get it together.
Valerie: Slang with a Monkey Flip, bouncing up to his feet and blasts Storm with a Spinning Wheel Kick! It's the same Spinning Wheel Kick that started to end Moon's night. Keeping it running, Storm to his feet and Slang blasts him with a DDT! Up to the top rope and going for the 450 Splash! OH STORM ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY! Scraping Slang off the mat and a German Suplex!!
Colin: Going for another German, Slang jumps back and lands on his feet and it's his time to pull it off!! Going from one German, making it two... here we go for number 3... and the pin!
Jenny: ONE! T-
Sherman: Storm able to roll himself back, going for a run backward, but Slang gets him with a back body drop! Storm gets Slang with some chops at the ankles to unground him, back to his feet and gets Slang up into a Samoan Drop! Looking for a pin but Slang rolls it back into a side cradle!!
Jenny: ONE! TWO!
Valerie: Storm gets the shoulder up and the pin is broken. These two are really showing themselves to be evenly matched here, I think it's going to come down to who can get the big move or make the big mistake.
Colin: I think you're right, and I couldn't tell you who that was going to be. Storm Rider drives Slang Dang down with a bulldog. Scoops him up and a bodyslam, and I think he's gonna go for that Third Rope Splash of his!! SLANG ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY!!
Sherman: There's that big mistake, and Slang gets him up... DANG A SLANG SLAM!!!!
Jenny: ONE! TWO! THREE!
Slang Dang wins by Pinfall!
Ash: Here is your winner, SLANG DANG!
Colin: Slang walks out of this match with the 2-0! Storm's Dreamz are killed for this match but he still has time to come back from this.
Sherman: Not too much else to say about this match, we keep it moving.
Valerie: And it's two people that weren't originally scheduled.
DAMIAN BLACKHEART VS ROSALINA RAMOS
Ash: The following contest is scheduled for One Fall!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
Fog machine, candles and 18th century street lamps adorn the entrance way. Titantron/screen shows images of leeches, pre-20th century surgery, anatomical drawings, plus short video clips of Blackheart performing submission moves and ringing a hand bell in full plague doctor uniform.
Ash: First! From the Silk Road, London, weighing 228 pounds, one half of Spirit Crusher...the Empiric, Damian Blackheart!!
Damian puffs his pipe as he walks down to the ring.
Sherman: Damian dispatched of the mighty Rade, as you said earlier, in his first match. And now he's going to face off against Rosalina Ramos.
Damian enters the ring and removes his hat, snuffs out his pipe.
Rosalina Ramos walks out holding a black rose.
Ash: And his opponent... from Miami, Florida, ROSALINA RAMOS!!
Valerie: Rosalina Ramos had a rough go in her first match but she seems perky and ready to go for this second match.
Rosalina walks with a bit of a skip to the ring then rolls in and offers Damian the rose.
The bell rings!
Sherman: Damian takes the rose AND HER WRIST... DRAGS HER CLOSE AND INTO A BRAINBUSTER!!! PLAGUEBRINGER!!!
Carter: ONE! TWO! THREE!
Damian Blackheart wins by Pinfall!
Ash: Here is your winner! THE EMPIRIC, DAMIAN BLACKHEART!!
Colin: Well, that didn't work out for her.
Valerie: Sure didn't, and now Damian is up 2-0 and Rosalina is in the hole 0-2.
Sherman: So we keep it going, and it's our first match in the Silver Group.
TREVOR DEMARTIN VS MATT MARTIGON
Ash: The following contest is scheduled for One Fall!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
Trevor DeMartin steps out grimacing.
Ash: FIRST! From Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada, weighing in at 245 pounds, representing Riot Block, the Surliest Man in Saskatoon, Trevor DeMartin!
Trevor stomps down the ramp threatening occasionally to backhand a fan.
Sherman: He's even angrier from his first loss, and he's here for vindication and revenge.
Dark blue lighting and dark smoke building up for Martigon to slowly walk through Scott Hall/Penta Jr style.
Ash: And his opponent! From Ottawa, Canada, weighing in at 233 pounds, The Wicked Deadly, MATT MARTIGON!!!
Matt occasionally stops to interact with fans at ring side but focuses mostly in the ring.
The bell rings!
Valerie: Matt and Trevor immediately rushing in and unloading on each other, headlocks into fists and fists into faces. Trevor switching it up with his hands into the chin of Matt and Matt going for the temple.
Sherman: We have here probably two of the angriest men in this entire federation, at the very least in this event, and they're showing serious Brawl For All energy here. This is more of a boxing match right now than a wrestling one but the fans still seem pretty locked in and Martigon puts some distance between them with a European Uppercut!
Colin: Trevor staggers back, Martigon blasts him with a jumping roundhouse! Trevor hits the ground, Matt grabs the ankle for an ankle lock but Trevor pushes him away. Trevor back to his feet, charging in for a shoulder block and coming in on the offensive with a boxing combo MATT LAUNCHES HIM OUT OF THE RING!
DeAndra: ONE! TWO!
Sherman: Trevor trying to make his way onto the apron and Matt boots Trevor back down.
DeAndra: THREE! FOUR!
Valerie: Trevor was pushed pretty far back, but he's trying to shake it off.
DeAndra: FIVE! SIX! SEVEN!
One Asshole in the Audience: DOOT DOOT!
Colin: That irritated Trevor, and he's lost focus of the match!
Trevor: Do that stupid meow one more time.
DeAndra: EIGHT! NINE!
Sherman: Trevor's irritation may have just cost him the match!!
DeAndra: TEN!
Matt Martigon wins by Count Out!
Ash: Here is your winner, The Wicked Deadly, MATT MARTIGON!
Sherman: And Trevor just realized that his anger has ruined this moment for him! He charges into the ring and gets in DeAndra's face MATT MARTIGON BLASTS HIM WITH A MIDKICK!!! CHAOTIC NEUTRAL SPINNING IMPALER DDT!!!
Colin: Well the crowd most certainly appreciated that. And the beat goes on, as we head back to the Air Group.
YULETIDE VS IRIS CORREA
Ash: The following contest is scheduled for one fall!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
Snow falls on the Finland Arena. Yuletide walks out carrying his heavier looking bag of gifts on a "sled", with a jolly but determined look in his eyes.
Ash: And his opponent! From North Pole, Alaska, weighing in at 220 pounds, YULE-
Suddenly out of Yuletide's bag pop-
- Sex Appeal! They beat the living hell out of Yuletide!
Colin: OH MY GOD! THIS IS TERRIBLE!
Sherman: ZLI have each others' backs, COLIN. Why's that make you so mad? That Bianca finally found people on her level?
Valerie: Well, Sex Appeal are going directly on the Naughty List, and they each have a limb of Yuletide! Toss him into the ring, and FOUR PLAY POWERBOMB!!!
Lisa beckons Sex Appeal out of the ring save Iris. The bell rings!
Colin: Iris with the pin to steal the win.
Lisa: ONE! TWO! THREE!
Iris Correa wins by Pinfall!
Ash: Here is your winner, The Eye Candy, IRIS CORREA!
Sherman: And Sex Appeal aren't done yet! They're going for a full on beatdown on the Jolly Warrior!! The kids in the audience are starting to cry!
Valerie: This is exactly what Daria told Yuletide in their last match at Path would happen, and she couldn't get it done there but she's sure putting toes to misels now... HERE COMES THE CAVALRY!
Colin: We saw this dynamic in Path and now it's playing out here... Manifestation of Defenestration is out here! And they're starting to fight back against Sex Appeal but the numbers game is still working against WHO THE HELL IS COMING OUT WITH SUGAR COOKI! Sure as hell isn't Syndy Sweet or Sprinkl!!
Sherman: His trunks read Cinnaman, and they've just turned the numbers game in Yule's favor!! Sex Appeal is actually outnumbered and this is just getting out of hand again-
Valerie: Oh this is about to get even worse for Sex Ap-SHE JUST SOCKED SUGAR COOKI!!! I DON'T KNOW IF SHE'S LOOKING TO JOIN SEX APPEAL BUT THIS IS THE END OF SUGARKOMA!!! WE GOT A 5 ON 5 BRAWL ON OUR HANDS HERE!!! And Colin is stepping in the ring-oh, what're you doing bud?

Valerie: Yuletide's gonna get his chance to get his hands on Iris after all and drops her down with a ripcord lariat! A stomp and scoops her up... taking a run and a beautiful Samoan Drop to her!! He's going up to the top, and it looks like we're going for an early Ride... SLEIGH RIDE DDT!!!
Lisa: ONE!
Sherman: Jassy with the save and breaks up the pin. Iris tries to get him in a headlock but Yule back body drops her! IRIS RINGS HIS SILVER BELLS WITH A KICK AND A BULLDOG!

Lisa: ONE! TWO! THREE!
Yuletide eliminates Iris Correa!
Colin: What an assist to the crowd.
Syndy Sweet enters the match.

Lisa: ONE!
Colin: Yule kicks again, and a headbutt on his way up. Sweet rolls back and is coming for a standing dropkick but Yule gets her by the feet and big swing!!
Sherman: She lands in her own corner, tag to Bianca, Bianca runs at him and a dropkick. Bianca gets him with an enzuigiri and double foot stomp to his face! Pulls him up by his beard and has the dragon headlock... like a Cross Rhodes but in Reverse! That's some BDE!!! And the pin attempt but Sugar breaks it up before the 1!
Valerie: Bianca lets the pin go but pulls Yuletide's beard and punches to the face! And she slams his head into the ground by his beard!!
Sherman: You gotta use what you got. Bianca lays a legdrop across his throat and going for a pin but Yuletide kicks.
Colin: That was a really arrogant pin attempt, Yule gets the sleigh bells and CLOCKS Bianca!! Going for a pin BUT BIANCA REVERSES!
Lisa: ONE! TWO! THREE!
Bianca Diaz eliminates Yuletide!

Lisa: ONE! TWO! THREE!
Bianca Diaz eliminates Gilbert Glass!
Valerie: On a long enough timeline, everyone's survival rate drops to zero.
Perry Payne enters the match.
Colin: Here's the other half. Bianca tries the same move with Perry, he slides under and gets her with a basement kick taking her off her feet. He gets the crowd going, don't take your eyes off her, he swings around and she jabs him in the throat!! Sitout Jawbreaker!! She calls that DONE TALKING! Going for the pin but Perry gets his shoulder up. Bianca tries for an Irish Whip... Perry reverses the Irish Whip! Bianca coming back around POP UP BLUE THUNDER BOMB!!! PERRYWINKLE!!!!
Lisa: ONE!
Sherman: Daria rescues Bianca! Perry with the face punch as he lets go of the pin, before he can get up she trips him! Getting on his back and locking in the Camel Clutch...and holds his mouth open with her hands!! Another reference to her commentary days, the No Comment! Perry is struggling pretty significantly, Sugar and Cinna pulling Perry's legs towards the ropes but Bianca's got this in tight and Gilbert is there to help this tug of war, Perry's foot makes it to the rope!
Valerie: That's big teamwork, Sherm.
Sherman: I have to admit it but you're not wrong. Bianca breaks the hold, the team lets Perry's legs go and Bianca immediately rolls him up! And there's Gilbert to interrupt it again.
Colin: Gilbert's smart not to leave ringside, same as Yule. You never know if ZLI is going to pop out of the woodwork. Perry slides behind Bianca and a German Suplex and rolling into another one bringing her to the center of the ring!
Lisa: ONE! TWO! TH-
Valerie: Bianca reverses the roll! And Perry kicks out of her pin. She gets him with a snap suplex, bridging for another pin attempt-
Lisa: ONE!
Colin: Still no good, he gets his shoulder up, she still has him locked up and moves her arms into Fisher position...going for a spin...BUENOS DIAS! The Spinning Fisherman Buster!!!
Lisa: ONE! TWO! THREE!
Bianca Diaz eliminates Perry Payne!
Sherman: You gotta admit, Colin, your former announcer is now in her best era.
Colin: I admit nothing.
Cinnaman enters the match.
Valerie: We're gonna see this new man fight! And Bianca already gets him with an arm whip, and blasts him with the Siren Song!!
Lisa: ONE! TWO!
Colin: That would have been a quick end, but Cinna gets his shoulder up and immediately gets her with a snap suplex!
Lisa: ONE! T-
Sherman: She gets her shoulder up. You got three people in this match Bianca, you should tag. And Cinna with a headscissors!! Right to his feet, spinning Double Underhook DDT! Cinnaman Swirl!! Going for a pin-
Lisa: ONE!
Colin: Bianca reverses!!! And Cinna kicks and the tag to Sugar. Sugar comin' in hot with a floatover DDT! Bianca catches her on the landing with a Spinebuster! Gets her up by the legs and Alabama Slam! The cover, and Jassy and Daria blocking Cinna! SWEET HOLDING SUGAR DOWN!
Lisa: ONE! TWO! THREE!
Bianca Diaz eliminates Sugar Cooki!
Valerie: And it's down to 4 on 1. Can Cinnaman persevere? NO, Bianca tags Jassy in and here comes the whole team... FOUR PLAY POWERBOMB!!! Jassy covers-
Lisa: ONE! TWO! THREE!
Jassy eliminates Cinnaman! Sex Appeal + Syndy Sweet win!
Ash: Here are your winners, SEX APPEAL AND SYNFUL SYNDY SWEET!
Sweet: Does this mean I'm in??
Daria: We'll... let you know.
Sex Appeal flounces off, Syndy trying to catch up close behind. After a moment, Manifestation, Cinna, and Sugar help up Yuletide to cheers.
Valerie: Despite the double robbery, this crowd is still firmly behind Yuletide.
Colin: It's a fascinating full circle here too... Bianca and I at this event last year saw and called Syndy's betrayal to join up with Sugar Cooki. And here today we see that same dynamic with her ending that very relationship in no uncertain terms. I doubt that ZLI will honor her efforts, but that's just my cynicism towards them writ large.
Sherman: Well, if Sex Appeal doesn't take her I'm sure Zora will.
Colin: That's a lot of faith to put in Zora Luthor.
Valerie: And now we go back to our regular schedule, unless Colin you have a further surprise for us.
Colin: No, we're back on track.
STING RAY STEVE THUNDER VS TYLER HAYES
Ash: The following contest is scheduled for One Fall!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
Lights go out before his music hits, then the Pretender is blasted through the stadium with Yellow & Green lights floating over the crowd. When ready the lights will meet directly at the top of the crowd.
Ash: First! From Adelaide, Australia, weighing in at 220 pounds, TYLER HAYES!!
Where Tyler is standing proud. He makes his way down through the crowd making sure to shake hands with anyone who wants it. He signs an autograph for a fan at the front of the barrier, jumps over the barricade and does a lap of the ring smacking the crowds hands as he comes around, he shakes hands with the commentators, slides into the ring and shakes hands with the ref, and leans back on to the turnbuckle waiting for his opponent.
Sherman: Hayes kicked this half of the event with a solid win against DX Royal, and he goes into this with momentum on his side. Honestly this should be an easy win for him. Of course these maroons won't care and they'll go apeshit for this guy any way.
Sure enough the crowd goes NUTS. They chant “THUNDER” in time to the bass drums during which the lights in time briefly flash white to mimic the energy of a thunderstorm.
The main riff comes in lightning bolts erupt around the arena. Steve comes running out, and throws the horns to the left of the crowd, igniting a brief pillar of flame.
He runs to the right of the stage and gives the horns to that side of the crowd, igniting a brief pillar of flame.
Valerie: There's something to be said for comebacks, and he's a man known for his comebacks.
Ash: AND HIS OPPONENT!!!! FROM SLAUGHTER BEACH, DELAWARE, WEIGHING IN AT 203 POUNDS, THE 2024 W2 CHAMPION.... STING! RAY! STEEEEEEEEVE! THUUUUUUUUUNDER!
He comes charging down the ramp, high fiving anyone he can. He runs around the ring and all the way back to the other side of the ramp continuing this high five. Back in the center of the ramp he lets out a hell yeah scream and sprints full force to the ring, springboarding himself and flipping over the apron, throwing a final set of horns and then whipping off the trenchcoat dramatically in preparation for the fight.
Steve offers a handshake, Tyler takes it and the crowd cheers before Jenny separates them. The bell rings!
Colin: Earlier we had the two grouchiest men in the federation and now we have two of the most gregarious, with probably only Greg Arias being moreso. Tyler and Steve lock up, Tyler with a huge hip toss, Thunder bounces off the group, kips right up and a front dropkick! Thunder taking a run back, comes with a dash, cartwheel and a moonsault! Momentum a little too much and he lands on Tyler but can't stop for the pin and rolls back, keeps the motion going with a run to the other side and cartwheel again, this one to a leg drop! Looking for an early pin, trying to adjust to get the leg hooked and Tyler has his shoulder up.
Sherman: Thunder off, Tyler with a back body drop and Thunder lands a bit rougher this time, but rolls out to the apron and looking for a springboard clothesline TYLER CATCHES HIM AND FRONT SLAM! Tyler goes for the pin-
Jenny: ONE!
Valerie: Shoulder up by Thunder to break the count, and log rolls away from Tyler.
Colin: Smart play by Thunder, he knows too much time on the ground with Tyler puts all of his limbs at risk. Thunder up and Tyler already running at him, back elbow puts Thunder up against the ropes. Arm drag to the center by Hayes and locks in the armbar.
Valerie: And smart on Hayes, he's catching on that any runway for Steve is going to be dangerous so rather than go for the Irish Whip he decides to keep him close. Thunder attempting to flip to his feet but Tyler keeps the armbar locked in and is moving with it, grounding this match.
Sherman: Steve would have to break his own arm to get out of this hold. Hayes keeping the pressure on, Thunder trying to contort his body to get out of this, you can see the calculations running in his brain and up come the legs, looking for a headscissors and Thunder has NO Tyler reversing into a running powerslam NO THUNDER SLIDES BEHIND HIM AND PUSHES HIM AGAINST THE ROPES, ROLLING HIM BACK AND AN O'CONNOR ROLL!
Jenny: ONE!
Colin: Tyler pushes out of the pin and a German Suplex to Thunder!
Jenny: ONE!
Valerie: Thunder out with a back roll, loading back on the ropes Tyler catches him with a judo flip NO THUNDER LANDS ON HIS FEET AND DROPSAULT GOING UP FOR THE SPRINGBOARD AND SHOOTING STAR C-NO! TYLER CATCHES FOR A BACK SUPLEX AND A PIN!
Jenny: ONE! TWO!
Colin: Thunder rolls away, both of these men would be wise to alter their gameplan.
Sherman: Or to have one at all, it seems like they're both playing a reactive game.
Valerie: Thunder and Tyler looking at each other, sizing up the situation, and back to lock-up, Thunder puts himself in a significant disadvantage by doing this with Hayes, Hayes overpowering him and going for a Camel Clutch, smart move keeping more of the limbs locked up, keeping his movement to an absolute minimum, Thunder is starting to fade a bit and Tyler could have this OH WAIT Thunder is using his fading to his advantage and slides under, Poison Rana and going for a pin but Tyler is too close to the ropes, and pin broken.
Sherman: Thunder taking it in stride, rides to the ropes, he's going for the Shooting Star Cutter again and VENOM SPIKE TO TYLER HAYES!!!
Jenny: ONE! TWO! THREE!
Sting Ray Steve Thunder wins by Pinfall!
Ash: Here is your winner, STING RAY STEVE THUNDER!
Steve helps Tyler up and they hug. Thunder signals for two boots, which are tossed into the ring. He gets two beers tossed in and they set up a Shoey!
Colin: There's a good natured way to end a match.
Sherman: Oh boo. Beat each other up!
Valerie: Nah, it looks like we're just going to our next match, as Cellula is already in the ring.
CELLULA VS LYNX
Ash: The following contest is scheduled for One Fall!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
Ash: Already in the ring, from Baltimora, Maryland, weighing in at 175 pounds, CELLULA!
The audience sings along as Lynx walks out getting the crowd pumped.
Ash: AND HIS OPPONENT! From the Bialowieza Forest, Poland, weighing in at 205 pounds, LYNX!!
Lynx runs to the ring and flips in, and right into the arms of Cellula as the bell rings!
Colin: Right into the Ghost Step Spinebuster! And he's goin' down!
Carter: ONE! TWO! THREE!
Cellula wins by Pinfall!
Ash: Here is your winner!! CELLULA!!
Sherman: In one fell swoop, Cellula stops his own slide and steepens Lynx's. Our next match is two people in a similar predicament.
DANTE RIVERA VS JEANNIE ROSE
Ash: The following contest is scheduled for One Fall!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
A burning X fills the Titan tron as Start The Shooting by A Day To Remember starts blasting. Dante steps out menacingly, like a bandit looking for trouble.
Ash: First! From Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, weighing in at 205 pounds, one half of X-Treme Society, DANTE RIVERA!!!
He stops at the top of the ramp as the Titan tron starts displaying ‘Watch your step’ in burning letters as the chorus plays. As Dante walks down the ramp, pyro goes off on either side of the ramp with each step. After a few he stomps triggering the stage to fill with fire.
Colin: All of the Scythes lost their first match and so did Dante. All of them won their second match, can Dante once again follow in their footsteps?
He walks down the ramp and to the ring, jumping onto the apron and climbing through the ropes. He stands in the center of the ring, slowly removing his shades from his face. He eyes fixed on the camera (or opponent). He tosses the shades to the side and stomps hard onto the mat, setting off flames on all four corners of the ring.
Jeannie is backstage, and she does the Sailor Moon transformation pose.
Pink smoke fills the stage. When the smoke clears, Jeannie is on the stage in her Sailor Moon costume and does a Sailor Moon pose.
Ash: And his opponent! From London, England, JEAAAAANNIE! ROSE!!!
Fireworks go off behind her, and she skips to the ring, climbing up onto the turnbuckle and backflipping off into the ring, doing a super hero landing.
Colin: Jeannie had the daunting task of fighting WildFire in her first go. Dante doesn't seem any less tough so this is going to be a hard go for her again.
The bell rings!
Valerie: Dante and Jeannie shake hands, another show of good sportsmanship, and breaking it off, and now into a tie-up, Dante getting the advantage, throwing some solid knees into the ribs of Jeannie Rose. Pushes her back, going for a spin kick JEANNIE WITH A SPLIT AND CATCHES HIM OUT WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX, DANTE BACKFLIPS AND LANDS ON HIS FEET, GOING FOR A GERMAN AND JEANNIE LANDS ON HER FEET, JEANNIE WITH HER OWN SPIN KICK BUT DANTE WITH THE BLOCK AND GOING FOR THE POWERBOMB! BOOOOM!
DeAndra: ONE!
Sherman: Jeannie kicks out. Dante unloading with a flurry of kicks, Jeannie trying to evade but Dante is too quick, he comes off the ropes and SHE BLASTS HIM WITH THE SUPER DUPER KICK!!!
DeAndra: ONE! TWO! TH-
Colin: DANTE BARELY GETS TO THE ROPES. JEANNIE PULLS HIM AWAY AND SHE GETS HIM UP.... JEANNIE-GO-ROUND!!! COMING OFF THE ROPES, SUPERGIRL PUNCH!
Sherman: Off the ropes, going for a knee drop but Dante is out of the way! Dante perches himself onto the turnbuckle, here we go and Jeannie up... Dante dives down and Tornado DDT!! Dante in the corner, he's looking for that Knee, looking to give Jeannie a Dirt Nap, here we go SHE DUCKS IT SUPER DUPER KICK!! The pin!
DeAndra: ONE! TWO! THREE!
Jeannie Rose wins by Pinfall!
Ash: Here is your winner, JEANNIE ROSE!!
Colin: Jeannie's timing is impeccable but well fought battle on both accounts, and this now leaves Dante 2 in the hole.
Sherman: Back into the Air we go, to keep this party running.
EL SEÑOR PIKACHU VS SCOTT RAZOR
Ash: The following contest is scheduled for One Fall!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
Ash: First, from France, representing RFDC, El SEÑOR PIKAAAAACHU!!!
Colin: Tamara Rivers underestimated ESP in her match, we'll see if Razor does the same or if he learns from her mistakes.
The camera’s return to Helsinki Olympic Stadium as the fans in attendance cheer in the excitement of being on TV. The lights in the arena progressively, but quickly dim until there is a slight darkness hanging over the arena. The opening riffs of “Wherever I May Roam” by Metallica begins to play from the speakers and plumes of smoke can be seen filling the centre of the stage.
The darkness remains through the intro, before the song drops and a spotlight shines on the center of the stage, revealing a silhouette of a man within the mist clutching a bat.
He lifts the bat and points it towards the ring, the tip of it emerging from the shroud. As the song picks up pace, he cuts through the smoke by swiping upwards and emerges from it, standing at the top of the stage as red and white lights weave their way around the crowd like serpents - who respond with feverish anticipation.
Ash: Introducing first, weighing in at 336 pounds, he is The Bully of Bullies - SCOOOOTTT RAAAAAZOOR!!
Colin: Welcome back Scott! Hope DCW is treating you good, but happy to have you on our soil again.
He begins to stride forward towards the ring confidently with his bat hanging over his shoulder. He calmly walks up the ring steps, entering the ring and faces each side of the arena with his bat raised in the air, shouting ferociously. He finally turns to face ESP.
Valerie: The two faces of their respective federations, Razor and Pikachu stand face to... well, not face, I guess, face to stomach? They stand ready to battle each other in the ring.
The bell rings!
Sherman: Razor straight up punts Pikachu, Pikachu rolls back but gets the space to take a run at Razor, oh and Razor punts him again! It's like he's playing soccer with himself... oh, I'm sorry, "football." Football with himself in his backyard.
Valerie: We're still here all month, don't piss off the Football Fans.
Colin: Pikachu is looking bruised up already, and I bet Razor is wishing this were a hardcore match so he could home run this dude into the stands with his trusty bat. But for now, he scoops him up, and a humungous bodyslam. Deadlifting him up, and dunking him back down with a chokeslam. Going for the pin-
Lisa: ONE!
Sherman: Pikachu gets his shoulder up! Little bastard don't know what's good for him. Well, Razor whips him off the ropes and just DEVASTATES HIM with a Big Boot. Pikachu struggling to his feet, Razor boots him and stomping him out! Going for the pin-
Lisa: ONE! T-
Valerie: Pika refuses to go down! Scott lifts him up all the way over head and DEVASTATES him with a Powerbomb! Lifts him up again and PANCAKED! A kick to Pika's midsection, and Scott's looking to get the arm-
Valerie: Oh Goddammit, all of Deck of Hearts is out here AGAIN.
Colin: SM has made no bones about hating outsiders... despite you know, recruiting a bunch of 404 people... and now that Scott Razor is an outsider again, not only that but an outsider who's courting his son, he and his gang of ne'er-do-wells are showing Scott exactly what they think of him! Scott easily launches Rox Starr and Diana Dresden out!! Scott throws Con at Utterly Vile!! And now he's face to face with Violent and he's more alive than I've seen him all match.
Sherman: With absolutely no shade to ESP, Scott was seeking a fight more of this caliber, and he and Violent are throwing hands! Hands turn into headbutts! Neither man really willing to move a muscle but Lisa gets between them and directing the Deck out of the arena JEN TEAL WHACKS SCOTT RAZOR IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD WITH THE BRIEFCASE! SCOTT WOBBLIN' AND SM WITH AN INSTRUMENT OF DESTRUCTION!!! SCOTT GOES DOWN!!! JEN DUMPS THE COMPLETELY UNAWARE PIKACHU ON SCOTT AND THEY ALL CLEAR THE RING!!!
Lisa: ONE! TWO! THREE!
El Señor Pikachu wins by Pinfall!
Ash: HERE IS YOUR WINNER, EL SEÑOR PIKACHU!!!
Colin: He looks like he has 0 idea what's happening right now, and trying to remember what he did to get the win.
Sherman: You can be mad all you want about this turn of events, but a win is a win is a win.
Valerie: Well, Razor is coming to and looks like he's about to have words with the Deck of Hearts... personally I don't blame him. Colin, no offense when I say this... okay, maybe a tiny bit of offense... were we really ready to host everyone like this? The problems of last year are rearing their ugly heads again and now we have even more little cliques to worry about causing mayhem.
Colin: Yeah, I think your point may be well-taken.
Valerie: Well what do you plan to do about it, GM?
Colin: We may need to reinstitute some sort of ring protection, or manager banning... maybe up security... I'm gonna need to think on it.
Sherman: Didn't you push against just that last year when Leila Blake wanted to do the same?
Colin: Yeah, and then it got crazier and the company was almost taken over. Trying not to let THAT happen again.
Valerie: Well, it's probably too short notice to do anything about it TODAY, but some policy would not be a bad idea.
Colin walks to the ring.
Colin: Can I have everyone's attention please. Starting tomorrow, any wrestler in this event who interferes will be penalized one point per interference. Any MAWL roster not in this event who interferes will be barred from any title matches at Heart Condition and will be consigned to the kickoff show. Any non-MAWL roster in this event who interferes will not be invited back next year. These rules will apply to both the A and B days, so I hope you're all watching.
The crowd murmurs as Colin returns to the desk.
Valerie: Setting down the law. I'm proud of you. Despite the fact that today will potentially feel like the Purge, the law goes into effect and all are warned.
Colin: I mean, do you think today will be that bad?
Moon is dropped from a rafter!
Valerie: No Colin, I think it'll probably be fine.
MOON VS SOPHIE DESIRE
Ash: The following...contest....is scheduled for One Fall. Already in the ring, from Pune, India, weighing in at 200 pounds, Moon.
The arena is plunged into darkness and a green pulsing light fills the arena, 'Killing in the Name' by Rage Against the Machine begins to play and out from the back appears the voluptuous figure of Sophie Desire.
She poses seductively at the top of the ramp, playing with her long blonde curls and blowing kisses to the crowd.
Ash: And his opponent, hailing from Santa Monica, California.
Representing The Firm……..Standing 5 feet 5 inches tall and weighing in at 165lbs.
She is the ‘Suicide Blonde……… SOPHIE DESIRE!!!!!
The bell rings and Sophie immediately covers Moon.
Jenny: ONE. TWO. THREE.
Sophie Desire wins by Pinfall.
Ash: Here is your winner, the Suicide Blonde, Sophie Desire.
The crowd boos but Sophie poses like she just won an Iron Person match.
Colin: Ugh, what a joke. Let's... just move on. And maybe I'll make a Firm vs Moon and Solemn Guardian for next B-Day, give Moon a chance to heal up. Until then, who's our next match?
MARLA ANDERSON VS RADE
Ash: The following contest is scheduled for One Fall!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
The lavender lights have a chasing effect going upwards before starting from the bottom again, to the clap rhythm. Many in the audience clap and hum along with the opening. When Kele begins singing "Lord give me grace", Marla Anderson appears on the stage clapping along and going from left to right engaging the crowd in it.
As Kele sings "Is it so wrong" the lavender and white lights become a fast strobe, and Marla jogs down high fiving everyone.
Ash: And his opponent, from Vancouver, Canada, True North MARLA ANDERSON!
Sherman: It's ironic that her song is "The Prayer" given that she doesn't have one in this match.
Colin: That's horrible.
Sherman: But wrong?
As the chorus hits Marla baseball slides into the ring and climbs a turnbuckle, pointing to the sky at "Tonight make me unstoppable", with pyro of two upward arrows connecting so the rooves are fashioned like an M. The crowd goes wild.
The lights go completely out. The arena is filled with sounds of owls hooting and clocks ticking.
Red smiley faces show in hologram around the arena in time with the bell. Rena Terror steps out to the stage, illuminated only by the red glow in the dark mask that she removes from her face. Ash immediately holds their microphone down as they have learned by now their microphone is turned off.
Her smirk is illuminated by the glow of the mask. The music has kept in the ticking of the clock and bell, not so much as a skip but as a purposely extended opening.
Rena: And the choir girl, emboldened by the demon's earlier fall, called out to the Heavens to make her invincible and indestructible. And the Heavens, unimpressed by the woman and aghast at her presumption, sought to nevertheless grant her wish.
For in death, in the burial of the body, is not the soul immortal and indestructible? And when the girl reaches the Heavens, does she not become invincible? And so the Heavens saw fit to unleash the demon, the collector of blood and transporter of soul, hailing from the Black Forest and every nightmare you’ve unsuccessfully attempted to wake up from, weighing 355 pounds and the devastating unintended consequences of your braggadocio and desire made flesh. He is der Blutsammler.
HE. IS.
The keyboard finally kicks in and the appearances of the red smiley faces intensify rhythmically as a towering figure enters behind her.
Rena: RADE.
Rade walks down the ramp with Ann leading him, both illuminated mostly by the glow in the dark masks.
Rena stands in front of Rade and stares up as if being baptized from the sky. Rade spits blood upwards and it rains on her. She smiles wickedly to the camera and leaves the ring.
The bell rings!
Colin: Rade throws Marla across the way, she comes back and he gets her by the neck, tosses her up, and 7 Feet Under! That's gonna be the ball game for Marla Anderson for today.
Carter: ONE! TWO! THREE!
Rade wins by Pinfall!
Ash: Here is your winner, Der Blutsammler, RADE!!!
Sherman: I mean, I told you.
Colin: Well, you're certainly right. And I'm being told that Big Ricky was attacked in a club and was not able to make it today, so Ivan Volkov will gain the three points as we head to commercial.
Amelia: HI! It's been a while, yeah? Well, this is some exciting news. We'd said before that we're a service game and WE MEANT IT. So we are in the process of motion capture for all the surprise guests in this year's W2 as part of our second tier DLC!!!
They'll release later on in the year, probably around Pack 7 or 8, but now if you want to create your own in MAWLTIVERSE Federation to compete with MAWL...you want to build up your own Path or RFDC or Aztec Pro or DCW... well, we say bring it on.
AND, we're in talks with 404, nothing confirmed just yet, to feature some of their stars as well. And there's another old school fed whispering in our ear as well. Lotta cool stuff coming to MAWL III!
You'll have to learn more later, but remember, these second tier DLC only come packaged in with the Spotlight and Two Wolves Editions. Back to you in the studio.
Colin: I'm personally enjoying my copy of MAWL III, we get to play these things a little early and all of the talent got copies of the Two Wolves in addition to their yearly bonuses and NO we did not dock peoples' bonuses to balance it out, what do we look like, [studio redacted name of federation that is no longer with us]?
Valerie: Careful, Colin, [studio redacted name of former GM who couldn't hack it] is still pretty litigious and still floating about.
Colin: I'm not particularly afraid of [seriously guys we don't have the money to manage a lawsuit stop] or the legal team.
Sherman: Yeah, what a lot of wankers. Come on, fight us then.
Valerie: Should we just to the second half of this show before you two get us all killed, or worse, sued?
Colin: Just real quick, I want to make a quick comment on our Final Day Card... so far, in addition to the Triple Threat for the Legacy Title and the Tournament itself, we will have an RBI Match involving the teams from that giant brawl, a tag match between The Firm and Moon and Solemn Guardian, a Special Roulette Match series with the winning wrestlers getting put on Face Playing Cards, and a Tag Rumble to find the next opponents for newly crowned tag champs Gozu and Jacen Tarot at Heart Condition. And NOW we can move on to the second half of the show.
PG-13 VS TAMARA RIVERS
Ash: The following contest is scheduled for One Fall!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
The drum riff hits to the instrumental version of Nothing But Thieves "Trip Switch" hits as three lightning bolts shoot from an image of the Manx three-leg symbol done as gears. The lights give a flickering feeling, as if power surging.
Ash: FIRST! From Onchan, Isle of Man, The CIRCUITBREAKER, TAMARA RIVERS!!
Tamara walks down the ring, cracking her fists, all business. The crowd cheers, and she allows them to seep in as she smiles the smallest smile.
Valerie: Tamara undoubtedly looking for redemption after losing to Pikachu, a cold steel determination in that expression.
PG-13 stands on the apron, flipping the double bird and blowing a kiss to the crowd.
Ash: And her opponent! From Invercargill, New Zealand, representing Zora Luthor International, PG-13!!
PG-13 holds up a 1 on her right hand with her middle finger and three fingers on her left as she walks down.
Colin: PG-13 also seeking a win, wanting to prove to ZLI that she was a good signing.
PG-13 yells at the audience as she steps in the ring.
The bell rings!
Sherman: Tamara coming in hot with a boxing rush and PG doing all she can to evade and block but eating more than avoiding, going for the Irish Whip JUST KIDDING Ripcord Knee Strike, and hammer blows to the back.
Valerie: Uranage by Tamara and flattens PG! Grabs her by the legs and we're big swingin' right into the turnbuckle! Coming charging with a boot, PG rolls out of the way just in time and Tamara's foot meets steel!
Colin: PG takes advantage and wishbones her against the post! And a leglock around the post!!
Lisa: ONE! TWO! THREE! FO-
Colin: She lets go and leaps over the ropes, a big ol' elbow drop to Tamara!
Valerie: Pulls her by her ponytail and going for a dragon sleeper... Tamara gets her up, running Powerslam! Going for a pin-
Lisa: ONE! TWO!
Sherman: PG with the shoulder up. Tamara whipping her off the ropes, catching her out with a Samoan Drop and going for the pin-
Lisa: ONE! T-
Valerie: PG reversing into the Side Cradle -
Lisa: ONE! TWO!
Colin: Tamara kicks out and rolls up, PG already ready with a whole flurry of chops to her chest, Irish Whip into the corner, running lariat, drops Tamara down and a foot choke by PG.
Lisa: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR!
Sherman: Lets it out, and rumbling with fists to the midsection, a punch to Tamara's throat, and choking her out, Lisa getting in there again to break it up, Spinebuster by Tamara! Going for a double-leg pin, PG wraps her legs around for a triangle lock!
Valerie: Tamara struggling but able to get her up and a Powerbomb! Going for the cradle-
Lisa: ONE! TWO!
Colin: PG kicks up. Drop toe hold by PG and she's going for the headlock, Tamara refuses to tap out and backbreaker! And-
Colin: ZORA WITH BRASS KNUCKLES TO TAMARA! PG ROLLS HER UP!!
Sherman: Remember Colin, you said starting tomorrow.
Lisa: ONE! TWO! THREE!
PG-13 wins by Pinfall!
Ash: Here is your winner, PG-13!!
Sherman: Zora looks after her own.
Colin: Gonna be real interesting to see how they all manage the rest of the event with the new rules.
Valerie: Next we have two OGs who last time each got blindsided by blondes, and now they want to, as others say, stop the slide.
DANIEL VS SOLEMN GUARDIAN
Ash: The following contest is scheduled for One Fall!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
Loud-repeating booms fills the arena with big letter ‘D’ showing up in the titantron before it changes to ‘Daniel’ as the soundtrack Waiting - Not Forgotten played ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3HP8bog39Q ) through the PA.
Daniel walks slowly in his long coat through the ramp down to the ring.
Ash: First! From Moultrie County, Illinois, weighing in at 284 pounds, DANIEL!!!
His eyes are fixed and focused, locking on to his opponent. He climbs the steel stair and enters the ring through the 2nd rope. Finally he’s posing his Destroyer’s Roar with loud big banged pyros from the turnbuckle behind him.
Daniel and everyone watch the entrance but no one comes. Solemn Guardian rises up from the ring behind Daniel.
Ash: And his opponent! From Huntington, West Virginia, weighing in at 165 pounds... SOLEMN GUARDIAN!!
The bell rings and Solemn hits the Stunner!
Colin: Holy Precipice!!
Jenny: ONE! TWO! THREE!
Solemn Guardian wins by Pinfall!
Ash: Here is your winner, SOLEMN GUARDIAN!!!
Valerie: And Solemn is back under the ring before Daniel can get his mask on. Caught him off-guard this time around.
Sherman: He should come out with it on next time, not even give the chance for his opponent to manage him.
Colin: Daniel charging to the back looking to get his.
Valerie: And so we move on to the Platinum Group.
GOOD DUDE GREG ARIAS VS VAUD
Ash: The following contest is scheduled for One Fall!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
An oldtimey newsreel of VAUD plays as VAUD comes out on a Penny-Farthing Bicycle with a cane in hand.
Ash: FIRST! From Coney Island, weighing in at 129 pounds, the true New York Knickerbocker, VAUD!!
VAUD rides down the ramp to boos.
Good Dude Greg Arias comes out swaying his hands back and forth to the music, which the crowd joins in.
Ash: And his opponent! From Boise, Idaho, weighing in at 301 pounds, GOOD DUDE GREG ARIAS!!
Greg Arias keeps the sway going as he walks down.
Colin: He was able to notch a win in his first match, let's see if he can keep it going.
Greg switches to a one handed sway as he enters the ring.
The bell rings!
Valerie: Arias reaching out for a handshake, VAUD accepts and OH! TRICK! IT'S A JOY BUZZER!
Sherman: Arias looks amused by the antics, but gets the handshake into a ripcord and tilt-a-whirl sidewalk slam!
Colin: VAUD pops up quickly and Arias brings him right back down with a Samoan Drop! Coming off the ropes and the Split Leg Drop!! SPREAD CHEER!!
Carter: ONE! TWO!
Sherman: VAUD BITES THE INSIDE OF ARIAS'S LEG!!
Valerie: Arias keeps his smile on but jumps off... VAUD off the ropes and a Bicycle Kick... off the ropes and going for a second one ARIAS CATCHES HIM WITH A SPINEBUSTER AND THIS TIME DOUBLE LEG TUCK PIN!
Carter: ONE! TWO! THREE!
Good Dude Greg Arias wins by Pinfall!
Ash: Here is your winner, GOOD DUDE GREG ARIAS!
Colin: Arias not sticking around to give a handshake, he's gotta get that bite looked at, VAUD might've broken skin. And the bastard is just riding his Penny Farthing outta here like he did nothing wrong. Un...you know what, it's actually perfectly believable and that makes it worse.
Valerie: Well, I guess it's onto the Silver Group.
Sherman: And our next competitors' groups were in the brawl that ended up screwing up much of our A group's second day, and I'm sure there's some residual heat that threatens to boil over.
Valerie: Especially since is presumably the last day to do it.
ROX STARR VS CASSANDRA CASH
Ash: The following contest is scheduled for One Fall!
Crowd: ONE BRAWL!
Sherman: This crowd knows what's up.
Tickers show on the runners heading towards the titantron as the lights flash a low gold and green. When the 8-Bit Twinkle kicks in, Cassandra Cash rises up on the stage with money shooting at her sides and a briefcase in her hand.
Ash: First! Representing Zora Luthor International, from Popondetta, New Guinea, DIRTY MONEY CASSANDRA CASH!!
Cassandra holds up her briefcase to boos as she walks down the ramp.
Sherman: Cassandra attempted to buy herself a win last time. Didn't go as planned.
She enters the ring and places the briefcase down.
Plumes of fog shoot up around the entrance as Rox Starr stands between them, devil horns up.
Ash: And her opponent! From Muskegon, Michigan, representing Deck of Hearts, ROX STARR!!
Rox walks down to the ring throwing horns and mocking tongue motions at the crowd.
Sherman: Rox had the bad luck of being put up against Ivan Volkov in her first match, but this one looks a bit more evenly balanced.
Rox briefly straddles the ropes and then flips in.
The bell rings!
Colin: Already deep in a lock-up, Rox going for the eyes of Cassandra, Cassandra grabbing at the hair of Rox and knuckles to her face, it's just a thing of viciousness, Rox hooks the leg and an Exploder Suplex. Cassandra up to her feet, Rox already ready with a dropkick puts her right out of the ring.
Sherman: Cassandra Cash struggling to her feet-
DeAndra: ONE! TWO!
Valerie: LUCENZA HAS THE BRIEFCASE IN HAND!!! SHE BLASTS ROX!!!!
DeAndra: THREE! FOUR!
Sherman: It won't matter if Cash can't back in the ring!
DeAndra: FIVE!
Colin: Well, she's up, and rolling in, and the cover-
DeAndra: ONE! TWO! THREE!
Cassandra Cash wins by Pinfall!
Ash: Here is your winner, CASSANDRA CASH!!
Valerie: Looks like someone is skipping the line!!
WOLFIE VS LUCENZA ROSSI
Sherman: Jenny Caldwell keeping pace with Wolfie and he SPEARS Rossi! The pin!
Jenny: ONE! TWO! THREE!
Wolfie wins by Pinfall!
Ash: ... here... is your winner, Wolfie!
Colin: Well, that covered the Water Group but we gotta swing it back to Earth.
LUCIANO VS DANGEROUS JOHNNY DAGGER
Ash: The following contest is scheduled for One Fall!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
The arena darkens as Luciano's music hits, and spotlights flicker between dark red and white. Luciano slowly walks out onto the stage, pausing momentarily to look around, sunglasses reflecting the lights.
Ash: FIRST! From Brooklyn, New York, weighing in at 294 pounds, LUCIANO!!
He then confidently strides down the ramp, his intense gaze never leaving the ring.
Sherman: Luciano dispatched of his first opponent fairly easily given the circumstances, I don't think he's too worried about Dagger.
Reaching ringside, Luciano climbs the steel steps, pausing dramatically before stepping through the ropes. Once inside, he removes his sunglasses and leather vest, revealing his heavily tattooed physique, and stares down the entrance, waiting for his opponent with a cold, calculated expression.
Red sirens reflect throughout the room and Dangerous Johnny Dagger stands on the apron, looking down.
He stomps and pyro in the shape of a triangle forms around him. He looks up and the triangle pyro explodes outward.
Ash: First! From Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina, weighing in at 202 pounds, DANGEROUS...JOHNNY...DAGGGGER!
He runs at a full sprint towards the ring then without breaking stride slides in. He hits the mat with his fists and lets out a scream, at which time the fans cheer.
Valerie: He should be though... Dagger also quickly dispatched of his opponent in the first round, so we have two people seeking to create a streak who are indeed dangerous.
The bell rings!
Colin: Dagger with a huge run, ducks the Superkick, back around and springboard bulldog! Taking a 90 degree turn, Asai Moonsault! He knows better than to try to flip Luciano over, choosing instead to keep the pressure on with a jumping knee to the head. Trying for a Superman Roll Pin, Luciano says absolutely not and a Deadlift German CRUMPLES Dagger.
Sherman: The man calls himself a Butcher but a Sniper would be a more accurate assessment. He has an economy of moves, not wasting his energy and probably 90 percent accuracy, Dagger was lucky to avoid his Butcher's Blade Kick, which wiped Rufus off the face of the Earth last match.
Valerie: Well, you're right Sherm, and Dagger's only hope is to keep on the offensive which right now seems a train that hit a penny. Luciano looks like he's got that Knee ready and this could be a Mob Hit...DAGGER ROLLS UNDER IT LUCIANO WAS READY FOR HIM AND A BUTCHER'S BLADE!
Lisa: ONE! TWO! THREE!
Luciano wins by Pinfall!
Ash: Here is your winner, LUCIANO!!
Sherman: There are many superkicks in this federation but that Butcher's Blade Superkick has to be one of the absolute deadliest. So we saw happened with Wolfie which would have been our next match, we roll it right along to the Platinum side of things.
Colin: This battle is brought to you by Red Bull. Because these two will give you wings.
Valerie: Boo this man.
PETEY PEACOCK VS ZEPHYR
Ash: The following contest is scheduled for One Fall!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
Petey Peacock extends his plumage to cheers then mimics flying around onstage.
Ash: And his opponent! From Fortaleza, Brazil, weighing 261 pounds, one half of Birds of Play, PETEY PEACOCK!!
Petey runs down at full speed high fiving everyone he can.
Colin: Odair Semedo really put boots to Petey in his first match, he's hoping to have better luck against this next competitor.
Valerie: His spirit remains unbroken. I envy that.
The lights go down save a spotlight that heads up towards the ceiling and eventually lands on Zephyr.
Zephyr puts her hands up and keeps looking up as she descends by rope to the ring.
Ash: And his opponent! Fallen From The Heavens, one half of Up On High, ZEPHYR!!!
Zephyr lowers down into the ring and the lights flash lightning style as the ropes shoot up to the ceiling.
The bell rings!
Colin: Wait, where'd Petey go??
Valerie: He flew off!
Colin: ... but Peacocks can't fly...
Sherman: Apparently they can when attached to a harness!!
Carter: ONE! TWO! THREE!
Colin: Zephyr must've moved with lightning speed to be able to attach him to it!
Carter: FOUR! FIVE! SIX!
Valerie: How low above the ring do you have to be to be considered not rung out??
Carter: SEVEN! EIGHT!
Colin: Much lower than Petey is, that's for sure.
Carter: NINE! TEN!
Zephyr wins by Count Out!
Ash: Here is your winner, Zephyr!
The crowd boos as Zephyr's wire brings Petey back down. Zephyr re-attaches herself and ascends dramatically.
Colin: Petey Peacock was robbed. The Birds of Play will be entered into the Tag Rumble as a conciliatory move.
Valerie: Quick in, quick out I guess. And we're back to Silver.
ORIANA BURKHARDT VS TVN
Ash: The following contest is scheduled for One Fall!
Crowd: WE HOPE!
A countdown can be heard - 1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4 - which the crowd counts along.
An EXPLOSION around the doorway with flames shooting out as Oriana Burkhardt shouts in joy.
Ash: First! From Morne Jaloux Ridge, Grenada...the Grenada Grenade, ORIANA BURKHARDT!
Oriana mimics throwing a grenade at the stage and another explosion goes off. The crowd pops.
Valerie: Oriana off a statement win against Cassandra Cash in the first round, and she is just that much more excited to run it again.
Oriana gets in the ring and gets the crowd pumping.
TVN comes out onto the apron and points at herself, and gold medals flash behind her on the screen.
Ash: AND HER OPPONENT! Representing EM Powered, from Vinh, Vietnam, TVN!
TVN points at herself at her mouth is going off as if she is clearly bragging about herself.
Sherman: She didn't live up to her namesake against Kyle Harris last time, let's see if she can make up for it here with Oriana.
TVN flips the crowd off as she walks into the ring.
The bell rings!
Colin: TVN blasting Oriana with chops, Oriana returning fire, Oriana goes for a lariat TVN ducks it! TVN with the gut kick and setting up for the Antennae! She's got the arms up OH ORIANA REVERSES INTO A BACK BODY DROP!!! OFF THE ROPES AND RUNNING CANNONBALL SENTON!!! GRENADE LAUNCHER!!!!
DeAndra: ONE! TWO! THREE!
Oriana Burkhardt wins by Pinfall!
Ash: Here is your winner, the Grenada Grenade, ORIANA BURKHARDT!!
Valerie: Better luck next time, TVN.
Colin: We're down to the last match in each group.
DAN HAMMER VS RUFUS
Ash: The following contest is scheduled for One Fall!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
The arena goes dark and white lights flicker all around.
The sound of ear splitting thunder erupts in the arena before a barrage of pyro explodes down the entrance way.
Thunderstruck by AC/DC begins to play
Dan Hammer slowly makes his way out from the back. He has the GBH Fighting Championship around his waist.
He simply smirks as he soaks in the chorus of boos.
His expression turns to one of seriousness, he flexes his muscles before pausing and looking back.
The arena is plunged into darkness and a green pulsing light fills the arena, 'Killing in the Name' by Rage Against the Machine begins to play and out from the back appear the ominous figures of The Firm....in this case it's just 'Suicide Blonde' Sophie Desire.
Ash: Introducing first....hailing from Tasmania…Australia and accompanied by The Firm........standing six feet 3 inches tall and weighing 295lbs......
He is the Hobart Hammer, THE 'Thunder from Down Under'!
Ladies and gentlemen, he is The GBH Fighting Championship CHAMPION of the WOOOOOOOOORRRRRLD............
The...........‘Tasmanian Terror’...............DAN HAMMER!!
They enter the ring and all pose in the centre as Dan climbs the turnbuckle and hold up the GBH title.
He climbs back down and waits in the ring looking toward the entranceway.
Rufus comes out dressed in a trench coat, and tan colored overalls. A freakish hockey and gas mask hybrid. His song 'Schattenboxen' blasts over the speakers.
Ash: And his opponent! From Berlin, Germany, weighing 97 kilos, The Psycho Extreme, RUFUS!!
Rufus marches to the ring rolling his neck and wrists, then tilting his head, and intimidating the crowd. He climbs onto the apron, and climbs the turnbuckle and points at fans in the crowd like he's picking his next victims.
Colin: Rufus is now going to need to find three teammates to join him in the RBI Match. I haven't yet told anyone what the RBI Match is going to be for. And the answer is this... the winning team will have one member of their squad in each chamber at the Four Chambers.
Valerie: How is that a punishment?
Colin: Well the three worst performing squads won't be able to enter the Four Chamber event at all, and will be consigned to the kickoff matches - even if they have a title defense, it'll be an early in the night one. BUT, picture, four members of one squad having to fight each other for the title in question. All four members of Sex Appeal having to off each other. So you could win, but at the expense of your unit.
Sherman: Sneaky sneaky.
He looks briefly at Colin - they can hear the announcers, y'all - then jumps down from the turnbuckle. Then stands in the corner and slowly removes his hat and mask. Then in an unsuspecting twist, he slyly turns to the hard cam, while continually moving in and out of frame of the hard cam, as if he's trying to dodge its view, and shadowbox it.
The bell rings!
Valerie: I think you just got in Rufus's head, and he is NOT prepared for that Big Ass Boot that Hammer just unloaded on him! That knocked his little bald head right into the corner pocket!
Sherman: I think that's a scratch.
Colin: Hammer throwing a flurry of corner punches on Rufus, transferring it into stomps, and Ripcord Lariat!!! He calls that the Wolfie Whiplash, and the man is hoping to unleash it on its namesake in the final tournament!
Valerie: Well, even if he doesn't do it here, they can go back to England and Wolfie can eat it there.
Sherman: Well Rufus to his feet and returns the boot to Hammer, Hammer gets nailed and Rufus gets a front facelock going...oh brilliant Suplex! We actually have a fight here, folks!
Colin: Rufus keeping the headlock on, violent wrenches, Hammer pushes him into the turnbuckle again! Rufus recoils back and into a German Suplex, RUFUS REVERSES INTO AN OPERATION DRAGON!
Lisa: ONE! T-
Sherman: Hammer with the shoulder up, blasts Rufus with a forearm shot and another, Irish Whipping Rufus and looking for a Flapjack onto the ropes but Rufus grabs hold of the rope and flips himself onto the apron! Gut check through the ropes and Rufus hops the fence with a Sunset Flip Powerbomb!! Going for the Double Leg Cradle-
Lisa: ONE! T-
Valerie: The Aussie Kangaroo Kicks Rufus away, grabs at the legs and Alabama Slam! Hammer getting himself on the apron, he looks about ready to McBang a Bitch, off he goes and Rufus catches him out with a Blue Thunder Bomb!!!
Crowd: This is awesome!
Colin: Dan throwing back kicks to get out of a pinning predicament! Dan rolls back and Basement Forearm shot. Rufus has had an answer for every one of Dan's big moves, but Dan has been getting his licks in.
Sherman: You'd like that, wouldn't you.
Colin: I get the sense his tongue is sandpapery so no. Dan rolls back and Wolfie Whiplash the Second! He goes back to the Apron, Rufus tries to reach out for him again but Hammer is too quick and to the top turnbuckle...ALSOP DEATH DROP! TORNADO DDT! Pulling him over for the pin...
Lisa: ONE! TWO! TH-
Valerie: Rufus kicks!! Hammer hasn't been able to keep him down! Hammer's pissed now and he grabs Rufus by his bald-ass head...CHARGING INTO THE TURNBUCKLE! RUNNING RUFUS DIAGONAL AND CHARGING HIM INTO THE CATERCORNER BUCKLE! HUGE BACK SUPLEX AND HAMMER LOCK!!! HE'S GOT RUFUS CUSHIONED IN THOSE BIG ASS MUSCLES AND THIS HAS TO BE RUFUS BITES HIS ARM AND EATS A THIRD WOLFIE WHIPLASH INSTEAD!
Lisa: ONE! TWO! THREE!
Dan Hammer wins by Pinfall!
Ash: HERE IS YOUR WINNER, THE TASMANIAN TERROR DAN HAMMER!!!
Valerie: Hammer didn't even wince at being bitten! He just said "Yeah well screw you" and now he can go get that taken care of by medical with a win in his column!
Colin: This was probably one of the best performances we've seen by Rufus in some time, but he just couldn't get the job done in the end.
Sherman: Also that had to be the shortest, most compact Ripcord Lariat I've seen in some time. It was like getting clamped by a gator's mouth.
Colin: Three matches to go, with WildFire meeting Kyle Harris at the end of the night.
MARLEY VENUS VS ODAIR SEMEDO
Ash: The following contest is scheduled for One Fall!
Crowd: ONE FALL!
The titan tron shows a giant O that stretches out onto the stage, at which point Odair Semedo busts out with a smile to cheers, joined by Super Cool who is hyping the crowd up around him.
Ash: First! Accompanied by Super Cool...From Porto Novo, Cape Verde, weighing in at 271 pounds, ODAIR SEMEDO!
Odair comes out, high fiving the crowd. Super Cool comes out behind him high fiving the crowd as well.
Valerie: Super Cool apparently is aware of Stellar from their time as rivals at XHW and though Odair said he was confident he could handle this on his own, she insisted.
Colin: It smells like a trap.
Sherman: I think you're just being paranoid. This seems totally fine.
Colin: Somehow I'm even less assured.
Constellations float around the entranceway as Marley Venus and Vita Mars are framed in silhouette.
Ash: And his opponent! Accompanied by Vita Mars... From Florence, Italy, one half of Stellar, MARLEY VENUS!!
The crowd boos as the two preen their way down the ramp.
Valerie: They do seem unbothered by this matchup.
Stellar flip over the rope at the same time and then enter the ring, posing arrogantly to boos.
The bell rings as Vita leaves the ring!
Valerie: Odair coming in hot with hammer fists that lay Marley down. Scoop up and tilt-a-whirl....backbreaker! Odair scoops her up and Uranage!! Vita unhooking the turnbuckle pad... Jenny begging her off and SUPER COOL THROWS SALT IN ODAIR'S EYES!
Colin: Told you.
Sherman: Marley with the roll-up, Jenny's attention back on the match,
Carter: ONE! TWO! THREE!
Marley Venus wins by Pinfall!
Ash: Here is your winner, Marley V-
Super Cool grabs the microphone.
Super Cool: I could have waited it out, but why delay the inevitable. Rejoice, peons, XHW is back from the grave and it's ready to take its rightful place here in the ashes of MAWL-
Colin: The Cavalry is here! Dante, Victoria, and Steve charging to put fists to this XHW contingent again, Dante riled up after his loss and Steve fired up after his win and they're absolutely taking it all out on these XHW w-
Valerie: Cisco with the Body Check topples Thunder over!!! Cisco and Super Cool doubling up the stomp out-
Valerie: MANTA RAY IS BACK! MANTA RAY IS BACK!!! MANTA HITS A VENOM SPIKE ON CISCO!!!
Colin: XHW is retreating! Thunder has a microphone, what's this about...
Steve: WHAT'S UP FINLAND???
The crowd pops.
Steve: Great to be back here. Now y'all know my inimitable cousin here, the Hero of the Ocean who causes ALL the commotion-
The crowd chants MANTA RAY! MANTA RAY!
Steve: And of course we know em, we love em, the X-Treme Society, GIVE IT UP!
The crowd shouts X-TREEEEEEEEEME!
Steve: And by my count, there are supposed to be 9 teams in the RBI Match-
Valerie: Where's he goin' with this?
Steve: And by my estimation you're three short.
The others in the ring are starting to see where Steve is going with this, and it is clear they hadn't previously been apprised of this plan.
Steve: And our little tussle here, well you just have two groups of four here that are causin' a bit of ruckus. SO.
Manta, Victoria, and Dante are frantically waving their arms no.
Steve: If it pleases the court.
Sherman: It doesn't. It obviously doesn't Steve, read the room.
Steve: Honorable Colin McRae, I think it's time we get our hands on these XHW goons for real, and in a way that they can't interfere with progress. So with your grace, I'd like to enter the four of us and the four of them as two of those said three teams.
Colin stands up and gives a double thumbs up. The four in the ring start arguing.
Steve: I know y'all are a little sore with me, and you'll have your chance to take it up with us in the Tag Team Royal Rumble baby that's right, Sting and Manta Ray are hittin' the vast open seas and showin' you a buffet of beatdown, family style!
The crowd cheers. Manta Ray smiles weakly and signals they should leave the ring before X-Treme beats them down. Steve NOW reads the room and they quickly depart.
Colin: Well, that just leaves one mystery team.
Valerie: You're just gonna let him do that?
Colin: Honestly? He just beat me to the punch. Threw himself in the pool before I could.
Sherman: And everyone else around him. If I were Steve, I'd not stick around in the locker room.
Valerie: Only two more matches to go!
DX ROYAL VS TEX MCCOY
Ash: The following contest is scheduled... actually... I am just receiving word that Tex McCoy has handed over his match to DX Royal in exchange for a date with DX's valets!
Colin: Well that was dumb, Tex is now two in the hole.
Ash: In its place, before our final match of the night, please enjoy this unexpected exhibition match!!
Colin: Always have a back-up.
Superstar Davy Boy comes out raising his hand and getting boos, to which he signals they can go MEOW themselves.
Ash: FIRST! From Los Angeles, California, weighing in at 235 pounds, SUPERSTAR DAVY BOY!
Davy Boy struts down the ramp and signals to the audience that he is putting them on notice.
Colin: Davy Boy wasn't gonna have much to do this event until the final day if he didn't step into this match.
Screech is driven to the ring by his manager in a Rolls-Royce Phantom.
Ash: And his opponent! From the Malloy Thunder Dojo, weighing in at 275 pounds, SCREECH!
In the ring Screech is bouncing up and down with anticipation of a test between two gladiators.
SUPERSTAR DAVY BOY VS SCREECH
The bell rings!
Valerie: Been a minute since we've seen Screech in the MAWL ring, he locks up with Davy and Screech unleashes the Irish Whip, hits with an arm drag. Scoops Davy Boy up and scoop slam! Gets him up again, Tilt-A-Whirl Backbreaker!!
Sherman: Screech may think he's got it all figured out, but it just takes one strong placed move for Davy Boy to turn the tide, so Screech better keep the pressure on!
Colin: Screech seems to agree and mounted punches, Davy Boy really taking the brunt of everything here, grabbing Davy by the braids and that may have been a mistake, going for a one-arm bulldog mistake number 2 and Davy doesn't go on the run with him! Screech can't break momentum and back around the ropes... WEST COAST STUNNER!!
Jenny: ONE! TWO! THREE!
Superstar Davy Boy wins by Pinfall!
Ash: Here is your winner, SUPERSTAR DAVY BOY!
Sherman: Just like I said... one move by Davy Boy turns the tide. And here come the Harris brothers to celebrate with him!
Colin: No sign of Sombras I notice. I wonder if this really has taken a Judgment Day turn and it's going to be the Harrises and Davy Boy as the new squad of whatever they call them-
Colin: WILDFIRE EMERGING FROM THE CROWD!!! HE'S FULL ON UNLOADING ON SHAWN HARRIS AND HARRIS GETS LAUNCHED FROM THE RING! PICKS SUPERSTAR UP BY THE SCRUFF OF THE NECK AND LAUNCHES HIM FROM THE RING! LAUNCHING SCREECH THE HELL OUTTA HERE TOO! LAYING INTO KYLE HARRIS AND OUR LAST MATCH IS OFFICIALLY UNDERWAY!
WILDFIRE VS ALPHA KYLE HARRIS
The bell rings!
Valerie: Wild with a flurry of punches on Kyle, whips him off the ropes, back body drop!! Kyle up and eats a jumping knee strike to the head! Wild picks Kyle up by his locks and blasts him into the turnbuckle post!!! Going for the cover-
DeAndra: ONE! T-
Sherman: Kyle gets the shoulder up and Wild immediately locks it into an armbar... Kyle tosses him! Kyle coming off the ropes, looking for a V-Trigger and Wild rolls out of the way, leg-trapped back suplex! Going for a pin but Kyle rolls out of it, German Suplex to Wild.
Colin: Kyle going for the armbar, Wild flips the script and gets a headlock in, locks up an arm and pulling back! Kyle struggling out of it, trying to get to the ropes and Wild flips him around for another headlock! Wild firmly in control of this match but what's going on ringside??
Valerie: It would appear that Davy and Shawn are chatting up Wild's wife Sara right in front of the kids! Sara's not having any of it but that sure isn't stopping them.
Sherman: That's one way to get Wild's attention and sure enough he's yelling at them to leave his family alone KYLE TAKES ADVANTAGE AND ROLLS HIM UP!
DeAndra: ONE! TWO! THREE!
Alpha Kyle Harris wins by Pinfall!
Ash: Here is your winner, Alpha Kyle Harris!
Valerie: That was shady.
Sherman: Even I have my limits. Not cool guys.
Colin: Sara slaps them both and Wild is out, pulls a chair and lays out Shawn! Lays out Superstar! Checking on his wife, she seems okay, let's all not forget that she at one point was the powerhouse wrestler Seraphim so she CAN handle herself, but that's not stopping Wild from seeing red, and that is where we will leave you for tonight. I'm Colin McRae with Sherman Grace and Valerie Thomas saying so long for now.
FADE TO BLACK.
