Live from the sold-out Casper Events Center in Casper, Wyoming
Thursday Night May 27th, 2021
8:00pm EST
[ The shows opens with the Titantron showing the Empires new promo video package with all the new stars of the Empire like Alexander Stone, the Lynch Mob, the Zombie Bride Su Yim and many, many more with their high risk, high impact moves to the music of "Till I Collapse" by Eminem blasting across the arena in unison with the pyrotechnics lighting the place up. The entire arena erupts in a chorus of cheers as the show comes on air. The music and pyro's stop as the cameras fade down to our broadcast table as "British Royalty" Mike Godwinn and “The Living Legend” Pezzer are standing by. ]
Mike Godwinn - Good evening folks and welcome to another amazing night of action right here in the World Wrestling Empire!! I am Mike Godwinn and I am joined by my broadcast colleague, and self-proclaimed Living Legend… Pezzer.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – We’re back home on Afterburn baby, doing what only we can do!!!
Mike Godwinn – Folks, we are hot off a huge Adrenaline show where we heard from the former broadcast team of Chris Simmons and Mike Thompson as they have aligned themselves with Go-D in his quest to reclaim their former glory here in the Empire.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – I get it. Watching the Empire close back in two-thousand and nine it sucked. We had a great thing going. Some of the best wrestlers in the world were lining up to join our ranks. And then without warning, it was over. Nobody could explain why, it was just over. I get why these guys were pissed off. I would be lying if I told you that I wasn’t pissed off. Some guy’s lost cars or homes. Divorce rates sky rocketed. Families were broken. It was ugly… but that was twelve years ago. Things have changed. People have changed. And most importantly, the Empire has changed. Yes, we’re back on television, but this is a new generation of superstars that Mark has hitched his horse to. The older generation needs to accept that you can’t turn back the hands of time. You just have to enjoy the ride and see what these kids can bring to the future.
Mike Godwinn – Well said partner. Well said. Let’s turn our attention to tonight’s matches and we will start with our huge main event. We will have for the first time in twelve years, the triple threat known as Legacy comprised of Go-D, Crazy Man and the Messiah taking on the former World Heavyweight Champion Alexander Stone and his friends in the Gold Standard, the former World Tag Team Champions the Guerillas of Destiny!!!
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Twelve long years of pent-up anger and frustration ready to pop off like a pressure cooker!!! This match has pay per view potential written all over it and these folks are getting it for free!! This isn’t going to be any ordinary wrestling match; this is going to be a war!!!
Mike Godwinn – In other action, we will see the Two Time Women’s World Champion Amber Nova teaming with Holidead of the Cartel to take on the Number One Contender Bloody Mary and her partner and former partner of Holidead, Thunder Rosa!!!
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – What a huge tag team match we are going to see tonight!!! Amber Nova, the two-time Women’s World Champion set to take on Bloody Mary in just three days and tonight we get to see them in a tag match against two other women that have issues with each other in Holidead and Thunder Rosa!!! This match is explosive!!! I love it how Afterburn gives you pay per view quality matches every single week. This is where Shane McMahon’s prior ownership of the WWCF comes into play and how he can use those skills to propel himself to be the best CEO in the Empire today.
Mike Godwinn – Shane has done a great job so far and I’m sure he will keep it going. In other tag team action, we will see the Golden BoyZ take on the Hooligans!!! The Golden BoyZ are coming off another tough loss to the Guerillas of Destiny a few weeks ago and they know that tonight’s match is a must win if they are going to get back into the title picture.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – The Golden BoyZ have been finding themselves tumbling down the rankings for the past month going from the Number One Contenders and now sit at number four right behind a red-hot Los Vipers team and two spots ahead of their opponents tonight in the Hooligans. How much would it shake up the rankings if somehow the Hooligans could beat the Golden BoyZ tonight?
[ Suddenly, the crowd goes nuts booing as “Realeza” by Jim Johnston blares across the arena as the Mexican sensations Santos and Pedro Supremo of Los Vipers make their way out onto the stage followed by the Mexican Heavyweight Champion Tito Escobar and his girlfriend Holidead!!! ]
They walk down the rampway before diving into the ring under the bottom rope with cocky ass smiles on their faces. Tito Escobar slowly raises the mic as the crowd dies down listening to him. ]
The Mexican Heavyweight Champion “Relentless” Tito Escobar – Civil War is just ten days away and now I know who I am forced to defend my Mexican Heavyweight title against!!!
Mike Godwinn – It’s actually the United States Heavyweight Championship, but who am I to say.
The Mexican Heavyweight Champion “Relentless” Tito Escobar – Caristico. The man that I have already beaten and have nothing left to prove by beating you again in-front of your family!! Just think about the faces of all the little ones as they sit home in Mexico City and watch as I rip you from limb to limb!!! Think about how your popularity will be tarnished when I drag you home and beat your ass in the Mexico City Arena… that very same arena that you and I made famous and I leave you broken and battered like a little bitch!!!
[ Los Vipers high five Tito as they get a good laugh. ]
The Mexican Heavyweight Champion “Relentless” Tito Escobar – Caristico, there was a day when you were a great wrestler… maybe even close to what I am today. But that was a long time ago, amigo. A very, very long time ago!!! Your career is over and I am going to end it where it began!!!
[ The sold-out crowd goes ape shit as “Me Muero” by La 5A Estación explodes throughout the arena and the Mexican superstar Caristico struts out on stage with a determined look on his face. ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Tito, I knew that once I won that Triple Threat match on Adrenaline that you would have some sort of swerve planned. I just knew that somehow, someway you would put some sort of stipulation into this match!!!
[ And the crowd cheers Caristico on!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – So, you want me to put my career on the line? That if I lose to you at Civil War, I walk away from the sport that I have been a part of for years!!! A sport that I absolutely love!!! But now that I think about it, I’ll agree to it only if that if you lose, you just don’t put your career on the line; but you put the Cartel’s careers on the line!!!
[ The sold out crowd explodes cheering on that idea. ]
The Mexican Heavyweight Champion “Relentless” Tito Escobar – Whoa, whoa, whoa; hold on!!! This has nothing to do with the Cartel… this is about you and me!!! Keep them out of it!!!
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – What’s the matter champ, you don’t have the cajones? Put your money where your mouth is bitch!!! Let’s make this an all or nothing match!!!
[ Los Vipers and Holidead all give Tito their opinions, but Tito isn’t listening as he points back up at Caristico. ]
The Mexican Heavyweight Champion “Relentless” Tito Escobar – Caristico, I am a Mexican God!!! I am Eddie Guererro reborn!!!
[ The sold-out crowd boos the shit out of Tito upon hearing that. ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – You’re delusional!!!
The Mexican Heavyweight Champion “Relentless” Tito Escobar – No Caristico, what I am is confident in my abilities and at Civil War I am going to end you for good!!! I am going to bury you!!! Nobody will ever hear from you again!!!
[ The crowd goes crazy cheering as "Here Comes The Money" by Naughty by Nature explodes across the CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon comes walking out and stands next to Caristico. ]
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – Career versus career? You both want that?
[ Both Tito and Caristico nod their heads yes. ]
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – As much as I find this very intriguing, and I’m sure it will get us huge buy-in rates for the pay per view; I am a little worried that if the Cartel has their careers ended, that it will leave a massive hole in all three divisions!!!
The Mexican Heavyweight Champion “Relentless” Tito Escobar – Don’t worry about that because I guarantee a win at Civil War!!!
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – Well, that’s not very reassuring; but I’ll sign off on the match and worry about the fall-out later.
[ The crowd cheers hearing that they are going to have a huge match at the pay per view as thr Cartel get ready to leave the ring. ]
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – Whoa, hold on champ. I’m not done yet.
[ The Cartel stops wondering what else Shane could want with them. ]
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – Holidead, this little war you have going on with your former partner Thunder Rosa; it comes to a head at Queen of the Ring.
[ Holidead snatches the mic from Tito and glares at Shane. ]
Holidead – What are you talking about? This fight with Thunder Rosa is over when I say it’s over!!!
[ Shane smiles at her. ]
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – Maybe you forgot who I am? My name is Shane… McMahon and I am the CEO of this damn company so you’re going to wrestle who I tell you and at Queen of the Ring you’re going to face this woman…
[ The sold out crowd explodes to their feet cheering as “Unstoppable" by KatDeluna rocks the arena and Thunder Rosa walks out on stage draped with the Mexican flag over her shoulders. ]
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – But it won’t be any ordinary match… it’s going to be a Mexican Death match!!!
[ Holidead throws a fit in the center of the ring as Tito and Los Vipers try and calm her down!!! The show swings to the back as we see Courtney Cox standing alongside Salena, Caged Heat and Shanna Furguson. ]
Courtney “Loves” Cox – Salena, it’s going to be a busy few week’s coming up for you and the Nation. At Queen of the Ring, Shanna takes on both Maria Manic and Gabby Jetson while Caged Heat takes on the champions Medusa Complex. Let’s start with Caged Heat as they challenge Medusa Complex again for the Women’s World Tag Team titles. Your thoughts on that match.
[ Salena snickers and smiles at Courtney. ]
“The Manager of Champions” Salena – Medusa Complex? Those two women are a wet mess. They lost to S.E.X. and the Exiles in back-to-back weeks. They should just forfeit the match and hand those titles back over to the rightful champions!!! Nobody can stop us from taking back what we never lost!!! Oh, and let’s not even talk about how dumb they were when they put their rematch on the line!!! They lose, they don’t get a rematch!!!
Courtney “Loves” Cox – We have also learned that at Queen of the Ring your client Shanna Furguson will facing not one, but two opponents for the Women’s National title. They are Gabby Jetson and Maria Manic.
“The Manager of Champions” Salena – This is a God damn joke!!! Page can’t make up his mind who’s more worthy to face my girl here, so he takes the cowards way out and he puts them both against her? He’s stacking the deck against Shanna, and why? Is it because she joined the Nation? Does he have some personal vendetta against Shanna? Gabby Jetson? She wins a couple of matches and she gets a title shot? Are you kidding me?
Courtney “Loves” Cox – I’m not sure about any personal vendetta, but she did win three straight matches to earn this title shot. And what about Maria Manic? She’s one of the top women’s wrestlers we have.
“The Manager of Champions” Salena – Maria Manic? Oh, that bitch that no-showed in her Women’s World title match against Amber Nova.
Courtney “Loves” Cox – She didn’t exactly no-show.
“The Manager of Champions” Salena – Shut up!!! Your stupid is showing!!! Why does Maria Manic deserve a title shot? Because she dropped in the rankings? That’s how you get title shots around here? Lose and you’re rewarded?
Courtney “Loves” Cox – She has an identical record as Gabby, so she deserves to be in this match.
[ Salena looks at Courtney like she could rip her face off. ]
“The Manager of Champions” Salena – Listen to me bimbo, after Queen of the Ring, we are not going to just have one, not two but three titles in our stable!!! The World Tag Team titles are staying with us, the Women’s National title is staying with us and the World Tag Team titles are finally coming home to the Nation!!! The Nation is going to prove to everyone that the Empire that we are the most dominant stable in the federation today!!!
[ Just then, a frantic Dave Anderson from the Golden BoyZ rushes into the scene. ]
Courtney “Loves” Cox – Dave, what’s wrong?
Dave Anderson – Have you seen Jake?
Courtney “Loves” Cox – Your brother? Your brother is missing?
Dave Anderson – I haven’t seen him in over an hour!!! He’s missing and he won’t answer my calls or texts!!!
[ Shane McMahon walks into the fray. ]
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – What’s going on?
Courtney “Loves” Cox – His brother Jake’s gone missing.
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – Missing? What do you mean he’s missing? He checked in and passed all the COVID tests. He knows he can’t leave the building until after his match.
Dave Anderson – I know that and I know he knows that too.
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – You’ve got a match in less than an hour. You better find him.
Dave Anderson – What? What if I can’t?
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – Then you better be prepared to forfeit the match or find him a replacement.
Dave Anderson – Replacement? Who am I supposed to find on short notice?
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – Don’t know and I don’t care. Just get it done or the match is off.
[ Dave looks upset as the show swings back to Mike and Pezzer at ringside. ]
Mike Godwinn – Pezzer, what a start to this show tonight as we all watched as Shane McMahon signed off on a career versus career match at Civil War between Caristico and Tito Escobar. If Caristico loses, he’s out of the Empire, but if Tito were to lose, then the entire Cartel is gone!!! Careers will be made and lost at Civil War Pezzer.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – But that’s not all. We also found out from Shane that at Queen of the Ring it’s going to be an old school Mexican Death Match between Holidead and Thunder Rosa!!!
Mike Godwinn – Death matches are not for the week of heart Pezzer and these two women have enough hatred for each other to leave each other bloody and battered!! And what about Jake Anderson? According to his brother Dave, Jake’s gone missing and nobody has seen the young man in over an hour.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – There are some pretty hot young women in the federation. Anyone check the ladies dressing room?
Mike Godwinn – I’m sure it was one of the first places they checked. Let’s talk about our opening match of the night as it’s going to be the number three ranked Funny Bones taking on the Television champion Raven Horse.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Funny Bones needs this match if he’s going to be a legitimate challenger for the TV title. Beating Raven Horse tonight should set him up for a title match down the road.
Mike Godwinn – Folks, let’s get right to the action as Funny Bones takes on the Television champion Raven Horse. JoJo it’s all yours!!!
Funny Bones vs Raven Horse ©
“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – The following match is set for one fall with a twenty-minute time limit. Making his way to the ring first, weighing in at 215 lbs.; he is… “The Demon King” Funny Bones!!
[ The sold-out crowd explodes to their feet booing as “The House of 1000 Corpses” by Rob Zombie erupts across the arena and “The Demon King” Funny Bones stalks out on stage. Slowly he walks down to the ring and climbs in glaring at the referee. ]
Mike Godwinn – Funny Bones comes into this match with a two and six record and is within striking distance of the TV title, but he can’t let up because people like Tiger King and Joey Ryan are not that far behind him.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – I like this group of guys. They are the young lions of the Empire. Not good enough yet to fight for the World Heavyweight title, but still hungry enough to fight through the tough losses. I love the fact that there is a title belt that they can compete for.
“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – And his opponent! Making his way to the ring being accompanied by Reverend Azazel and weighing in at 247 lbs., he is the reigning W.W.E. Television Champion, this is… Raven Horse!!!
[ The crowd boos as the native American walks out on stage to “Tattooed Attitude” by Shannon Moore. Pyro explodes all around him as he walks down to the ring ignoring all the fans that have turned on him due to new found attitude. He storms into the ring and glares at Funny Bones as he raises his TV title belt at him, smiling at him and taunting him. ]
Mike Godwinn – The ever-cocky Raven Horse has no respect for Funny Bones right now as he taunts the young man from across the ring.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Raven Horse has been a star in the Empire since day one, but he needs to lose this attitude of his. He doesn’t need to cheat so damn much if he’s ever going to be taken seriously for a United States title shot or even a World Heavyweight title shot down the road.
[ The bell rings and Raven Horse runs into the ropes and hits a lariat on Funny Bones. A portion of the crowd is booing Raven Horse. Raven Horse is going for the cover as Todd Sinclair counts …1 …and Funny Bones easily kicks out. ]

Time of match: 0:11:12
“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – The winner of this match, Funny Bones!!!
[ The Natural Disasters and Reverend Azazel rush into the ring and Bulk and Funny Bones escape as they tend to a beaten Raven Horse!!! ]
Mike Godwinn – Unbelievable Pezzer!!! With the help of Bulk, Funny Bones has pulled off a huge win tonight over the Television champion!!!
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – If you ask me, someone has to do something to help even the odds around here!!! Bulk has no alliances with anyone, but he sure as hell hates the Devils Rejects, that’s for damn sure!!!
Mike Godwinn – I can agree with that. Folks, let’s go to the back where our very own Courtney Cox is standing by with the Women’s World Champion Amber Nova and her tag team partner for tonight Holidead!!!
[ The videotron comes on as it shows Courtney Cox standing between Amber Nova and Holidead. ]
Courtney “Loves” Cox – Ladies, tonight you are in tag team action against the two women that you will each be fighting in just three nights at Queen of the Ring in Thunder Rosa and Bloody Mary. How are each of you preparing for tonight, without tipping your hands too much for your matches Sunday night?
Holidead – Tipping my hand? You stupid American bitch!!! I just found out, what; ten minutes ago, that I even had a match!!! As far as I knew I was preparing to win the Queen of the Ring Battle Royal and earning my shot at the Women’s World title!!!
[ Amber Nova rolls her eyes at Holidead. ]
The Women’s World Champion “The Perfect 10” Amber Nova – Listen Holidead, I get your pissed off that you have to face your former BFF in a Death Match at Queen of the Ring; but we need to stay focused.
[ Holidead is pissed as she gets right in Amber Nova’s face. ]
Holidead – It’s a Mexican Death match!!! Do you have any idea what the hell that means?
The Women’s World Champion “The Perfect 10” Amber Nova – No, do I look Mexican to you?
Holidead – You look like a barbie doll holding my title!!! I can’t deal with this right now, I’m out of here!!!
[ Holidead storms off the set leaving Amber Nova rolling her eyes. ]
The Women’s World Champion “The Perfect 10” Amber Nova – Fucking amateurs!!!
Courtney “Loves” Cox – I guess this interview is over. Back to you guys.
[ The show goes back to Mike and Pezzer at ringside. ]
Mike Godwinn – I gotta tell you Pezzer, this Mexican Death Match Shane signed for the pay per view has Holidead rattled!!!
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – I’ve been in a few Death Matches over the years, but I don’t think I’ve ever been in a Mexican version. Either way, they all suck balls. Nobody leaves the match the same they walked in.
Mike Godwinn – Folks, it’s time for our next match and it was going to feature the Golden BoyZ taking on the Hooligans, but Jake Anderson has gone missing and nobody has seen him in what, hours?
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – This puts Dave Anderson in one hell of a bind. The Golden BoyZ can’t afford to take the loss, so Dave’s hoping someone steps up to help them out. That in itself is risky too not knowing who the hell is going to extend the olive branch to help you out and if even they can be trusted.
Mike Godwinn – This should be exciting. Let’s go back to the ring and join JoJo Rodriguez as she is ready to announce this huge tag team match!!!
The Golden BoyZ vs The Hooligans
“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – The following tag team match is set for one fall with a twenty-minute time limit. Making their way to the ring, weighing in at a combined weight of 462 lbs., Reno and Scum; they are… the Hooligans!!!
[ The crowd doesn’t know whether to boo or cheer these two odd individuals as “We are Scum” by Reno and Scum blares across the arena as the tag team duo of Reno and Scum make their way down to the ring and climb in, pacing around waiting for their opponents. ]
Mike Godwinn – This is a huge match for the Hooligans who right now sit in the number six spot in the World Tag Team rankings. If they can somehow pick up a win tonight, they very well could leapfrog right up to the number four or five spot.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – If there’s ever a night that these kids could steal a win, tonight’s the night. Without Jake, Dave’s going to have to wrestle with a partner he has never wrestled before with.
“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – And their opponents!!! Making his way to the ring weighing in at 198 lbs., this is… Dave Anderson!!!
[ The crowd goes crazy booing as "Let's Go All the Way" by Insane Clown Posse rocks the arena as Dave Anderson walks out on stage and down to the ring with a worried look on his face as to who his tag team partner may be. ]
Mike Godwinn – Dave’s got a very concerned look on his face and I have to believe that it’s a mixture of both his brother and who his mystery partner may be.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – I’m sure that Shane’s found someone of equal ability as Jake Anderson is. I doubt that he would stick Dave with Tiger King or STIXX, no offense to them.
“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – And his tag team partner. Making his way to the ring weighing in at 175 lbs, he is "The Clown Prince of Pro-Wrestling”; this is… Travis Blake!!!
[ The crowd goes bananas as “Scars that I'm Hiding" by Ashes to New rocks the arena as the newest member of the Empire walks out on stage with his black leather jacket on along with his two-hundred-dollar Ray-Ban’s. The women in the crowd are screaming for him as he struts down to the ring, climbs up onto the ring apron and whips his jacket open showing off his solid six pack ab’s!!! ]
Mike Godwinn – What a great pick for Shane McMahon tonight to help out the Golden BoyZ!! This kid’s been on one hell of a hot streak since coming into the Empire.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – I agree, this kid has got it all; but he is coming off of a brutal six-man tag team match against the Triad on Adrenaline!!! It has to make Dave feel a little better about their chances tonight.
[ The bell rings and Dave Anderson locks Scum in a guillotine choke. Scum is valiantly trying to break the hold and eventually reaches the ropes. Dave Anderson attempts a European uppercut, but Scum blocks it. Scum nails a kick to the midsection of Dave Anderson. Reno and Scum goes for the Scum City Driver (Slingshot into a Death Valley Driver), but Dave Anderson counters it with an elbowsmash. Dave Anderson goes for a punch, but Scum blocks it. Scum uses a lariat on Dave Anderson. Scum tags out to Reno. Reno drives a back elbow into Dave Anderson. Reno runs into the ropes and hits a lariat on Dave Anderson. Reno goes for an eye gouge, but Dave Anderson blocks it. Dave Anderson drives a European uppercut on Reno. Dave Anderson nails Reno with a running knee strike.

Courtney “Loves” Cox – Shane, you’ve asked for this time to talk about the upcoming Queen of the Ring Pay Per View in just three nights along with the Civil War Pay Per View in ten days. The floor is yours.
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – Thank you Courtney. So, over the course of the show, Mark, DDP and myself have been teleconferencing about how we can make these pay per view events even bigger, and we think that we have the answer. We have opened up the Battle Royals to anyone that wants to join, even if it’s just for one night. But what we are also going to do is, the four competitors in the World title matches will not be allowed in the Battle Royals!!!
Courtney “Loves” Cox – So, what you’re saying is that Prophet, Stone, Bloody Mary and Amber Nova will not be allowed to be in the Battle Royal’s?
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – That’s correct. The Battle Royal’s will be held right before each world title match. We feel like these Battle Royals may give a true wild card an opportunity to challenge one of our champions where normally they would have to earn that shot by climbing the rankings!!!
Courtney “Loves” Cox – It is also going to make these four top stars fight even harder to win their matches knowing that they might not get another opportunity for a while!!!

Mike Godwinn – And look at the mess we have now. Prophet is the self-proclaimed Messiah. The Chosen One. He thinks that he’s going to save us all, but from what? Each other?
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Who knows what’s going on in that whack-a-doodles head!!! He’s dressing like Jesus for fucks sake!!!

Thursday Night May 27th, 2021
8:00pm EST
[ The shows opens with the Titantron showing the Empires new promo video package with all the new stars of the Empire like Alexander Stone, the Lynch Mob, the Zombie Bride Su Yim and many, many more with their high risk, high impact moves to the music of "Till I Collapse" by Eminem blasting across the arena in unison with the pyrotechnics lighting the place up. The entire arena erupts in a chorus of cheers as the show comes on air. The music and pyro's stop as the cameras fade down to our broadcast table as "British Royalty" Mike Godwinn and “The Living Legend” Pezzer are standing by. ]
Mike Godwinn - Good evening folks and welcome to another amazing night of action right here in the World Wrestling Empire!! I am Mike Godwinn and I am joined by my broadcast colleague, and self-proclaimed Living Legend… Pezzer.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – We’re back home on Afterburn baby, doing what only we can do!!!
Mike Godwinn – Folks, we are hot off a huge Adrenaline show where we heard from the former broadcast team of Chris Simmons and Mike Thompson as they have aligned themselves with Go-D in his quest to reclaim their former glory here in the Empire.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – I get it. Watching the Empire close back in two-thousand and nine it sucked. We had a great thing going. Some of the best wrestlers in the world were lining up to join our ranks. And then without warning, it was over. Nobody could explain why, it was just over. I get why these guys were pissed off. I would be lying if I told you that I wasn’t pissed off. Some guy’s lost cars or homes. Divorce rates sky rocketed. Families were broken. It was ugly… but that was twelve years ago. Things have changed. People have changed. And most importantly, the Empire has changed. Yes, we’re back on television, but this is a new generation of superstars that Mark has hitched his horse to. The older generation needs to accept that you can’t turn back the hands of time. You just have to enjoy the ride and see what these kids can bring to the future.
Mike Godwinn – Well said partner. Well said. Let’s turn our attention to tonight’s matches and we will start with our huge main event. We will have for the first time in twelve years, the triple threat known as Legacy comprised of Go-D, Crazy Man and the Messiah taking on the former World Heavyweight Champion Alexander Stone and his friends in the Gold Standard, the former World Tag Team Champions the Guerillas of Destiny!!!
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Twelve long years of pent-up anger and frustration ready to pop off like a pressure cooker!!! This match has pay per view potential written all over it and these folks are getting it for free!! This isn’t going to be any ordinary wrestling match; this is going to be a war!!!
Mike Godwinn – In other action, we will see the Two Time Women’s World Champion Amber Nova teaming with Holidead of the Cartel to take on the Number One Contender Bloody Mary and her partner and former partner of Holidead, Thunder Rosa!!!
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – What a huge tag team match we are going to see tonight!!! Amber Nova, the two-time Women’s World Champion set to take on Bloody Mary in just three days and tonight we get to see them in a tag match against two other women that have issues with each other in Holidead and Thunder Rosa!!! This match is explosive!!! I love it how Afterburn gives you pay per view quality matches every single week. This is where Shane McMahon’s prior ownership of the WWCF comes into play and how he can use those skills to propel himself to be the best CEO in the Empire today.
Mike Godwinn – Shane has done a great job so far and I’m sure he will keep it going. In other tag team action, we will see the Golden BoyZ take on the Hooligans!!! The Golden BoyZ are coming off another tough loss to the Guerillas of Destiny a few weeks ago and they know that tonight’s match is a must win if they are going to get back into the title picture.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – The Golden BoyZ have been finding themselves tumbling down the rankings for the past month going from the Number One Contenders and now sit at number four right behind a red-hot Los Vipers team and two spots ahead of their opponents tonight in the Hooligans. How much would it shake up the rankings if somehow the Hooligans could beat the Golden BoyZ tonight?
[ Suddenly, the crowd goes nuts booing as “Realeza” by Jim Johnston blares across the arena as the Mexican sensations Santos and Pedro Supremo of Los Vipers make their way out onto the stage followed by the Mexican Heavyweight Champion Tito Escobar and his girlfriend Holidead!!! ]
They walk down the rampway before diving into the ring under the bottom rope with cocky ass smiles on their faces. Tito Escobar slowly raises the mic as the crowd dies down listening to him. ]
The Mexican Heavyweight Champion “Relentless” Tito Escobar – Civil War is just ten days away and now I know who I am forced to defend my Mexican Heavyweight title against!!!
Mike Godwinn – It’s actually the United States Heavyweight Championship, but who am I to say.
The Mexican Heavyweight Champion “Relentless” Tito Escobar – Caristico. The man that I have already beaten and have nothing left to prove by beating you again in-front of your family!! Just think about the faces of all the little ones as they sit home in Mexico City and watch as I rip you from limb to limb!!! Think about how your popularity will be tarnished when I drag you home and beat your ass in the Mexico City Arena… that very same arena that you and I made famous and I leave you broken and battered like a little bitch!!!
[ Los Vipers high five Tito as they get a good laugh. ]
The Mexican Heavyweight Champion “Relentless” Tito Escobar – Caristico, there was a day when you were a great wrestler… maybe even close to what I am today. But that was a long time ago, amigo. A very, very long time ago!!! Your career is over and I am going to end it where it began!!!
[ The sold-out crowd goes ape shit as “Me Muero” by La 5A Estación explodes throughout the arena and the Mexican superstar Caristico struts out on stage with a determined look on his face. ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – Tito, I knew that once I won that Triple Threat match on Adrenaline that you would have some sort of swerve planned. I just knew that somehow, someway you would put some sort of stipulation into this match!!!
[ And the crowd cheers Caristico on!!! ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – So, you want me to put my career on the line? That if I lose to you at Civil War, I walk away from the sport that I have been a part of for years!!! A sport that I absolutely love!!! But now that I think about it, I’ll agree to it only if that if you lose, you just don’t put your career on the line; but you put the Cartel’s careers on the line!!!
[ The sold out crowd explodes cheering on that idea. ]
The Mexican Heavyweight Champion “Relentless” Tito Escobar – Whoa, whoa, whoa; hold on!!! This has nothing to do with the Cartel… this is about you and me!!! Keep them out of it!!!
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – What’s the matter champ, you don’t have the cajones? Put your money where your mouth is bitch!!! Let’s make this an all or nothing match!!!
[ Los Vipers and Holidead all give Tito their opinions, but Tito isn’t listening as he points back up at Caristico. ]
The Mexican Heavyweight Champion “Relentless” Tito Escobar – Caristico, I am a Mexican God!!! I am Eddie Guererro reborn!!!
[ The sold-out crowd boos the shit out of Tito upon hearing that. ]
“The Mexican Sensation” Caristico – You’re delusional!!!
The Mexican Heavyweight Champion “Relentless” Tito Escobar – No Caristico, what I am is confident in my abilities and at Civil War I am going to end you for good!!! I am going to bury you!!! Nobody will ever hear from you again!!!
[ The crowd goes crazy cheering as "Here Comes The Money" by Naughty by Nature explodes across the CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon comes walking out and stands next to Caristico. ]
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – Career versus career? You both want that?
[ Both Tito and Caristico nod their heads yes. ]
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – As much as I find this very intriguing, and I’m sure it will get us huge buy-in rates for the pay per view; I am a little worried that if the Cartel has their careers ended, that it will leave a massive hole in all three divisions!!!
The Mexican Heavyweight Champion “Relentless” Tito Escobar – Don’t worry about that because I guarantee a win at Civil War!!!
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – Well, that’s not very reassuring; but I’ll sign off on the match and worry about the fall-out later.
[ The crowd cheers hearing that they are going to have a huge match at the pay per view as thr Cartel get ready to leave the ring. ]
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – Whoa, hold on champ. I’m not done yet.
[ The Cartel stops wondering what else Shane could want with them. ]
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – Holidead, this little war you have going on with your former partner Thunder Rosa; it comes to a head at Queen of the Ring.
[ Holidead snatches the mic from Tito and glares at Shane. ]
Holidead – What are you talking about? This fight with Thunder Rosa is over when I say it’s over!!!
[ Shane smiles at her. ]
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – Maybe you forgot who I am? My name is Shane… McMahon and I am the CEO of this damn company so you’re going to wrestle who I tell you and at Queen of the Ring you’re going to face this woman…
[ The sold out crowd explodes to their feet cheering as “Unstoppable" by KatDeluna rocks the arena and Thunder Rosa walks out on stage draped with the Mexican flag over her shoulders. ]
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – But it won’t be any ordinary match… it’s going to be a Mexican Death match!!!
[ Holidead throws a fit in the center of the ring as Tito and Los Vipers try and calm her down!!! The show swings to the back as we see Courtney Cox standing alongside Salena, Caged Heat and Shanna Furguson. ]
Courtney “Loves” Cox – Salena, it’s going to be a busy few week’s coming up for you and the Nation. At Queen of the Ring, Shanna takes on both Maria Manic and Gabby Jetson while Caged Heat takes on the champions Medusa Complex. Let’s start with Caged Heat as they challenge Medusa Complex again for the Women’s World Tag Team titles. Your thoughts on that match.
[ Salena snickers and smiles at Courtney. ]
“The Manager of Champions” Salena – Medusa Complex? Those two women are a wet mess. They lost to S.E.X. and the Exiles in back-to-back weeks. They should just forfeit the match and hand those titles back over to the rightful champions!!! Nobody can stop us from taking back what we never lost!!! Oh, and let’s not even talk about how dumb they were when they put their rematch on the line!!! They lose, they don’t get a rematch!!!
Courtney “Loves” Cox – We have also learned that at Queen of the Ring your client Shanna Furguson will facing not one, but two opponents for the Women’s National title. They are Gabby Jetson and Maria Manic.
“The Manager of Champions” Salena – This is a God damn joke!!! Page can’t make up his mind who’s more worthy to face my girl here, so he takes the cowards way out and he puts them both against her? He’s stacking the deck against Shanna, and why? Is it because she joined the Nation? Does he have some personal vendetta against Shanna? Gabby Jetson? She wins a couple of matches and she gets a title shot? Are you kidding me?
Courtney “Loves” Cox – I’m not sure about any personal vendetta, but she did win three straight matches to earn this title shot. And what about Maria Manic? She’s one of the top women’s wrestlers we have.
“The Manager of Champions” Salena – Maria Manic? Oh, that bitch that no-showed in her Women’s World title match against Amber Nova.
Courtney “Loves” Cox – She didn’t exactly no-show.
“The Manager of Champions” Salena – Shut up!!! Your stupid is showing!!! Why does Maria Manic deserve a title shot? Because she dropped in the rankings? That’s how you get title shots around here? Lose and you’re rewarded?
Courtney “Loves” Cox – She has an identical record as Gabby, so she deserves to be in this match.
[ Salena looks at Courtney like she could rip her face off. ]
“The Manager of Champions” Salena – Listen to me bimbo, after Queen of the Ring, we are not going to just have one, not two but three titles in our stable!!! The World Tag Team titles are staying with us, the Women’s National title is staying with us and the World Tag Team titles are finally coming home to the Nation!!! The Nation is going to prove to everyone that the Empire that we are the most dominant stable in the federation today!!!
[ Just then, a frantic Dave Anderson from the Golden BoyZ rushes into the scene. ]
Courtney “Loves” Cox – Dave, what’s wrong?
Dave Anderson – Have you seen Jake?
Courtney “Loves” Cox – Your brother? Your brother is missing?
Dave Anderson – I haven’t seen him in over an hour!!! He’s missing and he won’t answer my calls or texts!!!
[ Shane McMahon walks into the fray. ]
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – What’s going on?
Courtney “Loves” Cox – His brother Jake’s gone missing.
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – Missing? What do you mean he’s missing? He checked in and passed all the COVID tests. He knows he can’t leave the building until after his match.
Dave Anderson – I know that and I know he knows that too.
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – You’ve got a match in less than an hour. You better find him.
Dave Anderson – What? What if I can’t?
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – Then you better be prepared to forfeit the match or find him a replacement.
Dave Anderson – Replacement? Who am I supposed to find on short notice?
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – Don’t know and I don’t care. Just get it done or the match is off.
[ Dave looks upset as the show swings back to Mike and Pezzer at ringside. ]
Mike Godwinn – Pezzer, what a start to this show tonight as we all watched as Shane McMahon signed off on a career versus career match at Civil War between Caristico and Tito Escobar. If Caristico loses, he’s out of the Empire, but if Tito were to lose, then the entire Cartel is gone!!! Careers will be made and lost at Civil War Pezzer.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – But that’s not all. We also found out from Shane that at Queen of the Ring it’s going to be an old school Mexican Death Match between Holidead and Thunder Rosa!!!
Mike Godwinn – Death matches are not for the week of heart Pezzer and these two women have enough hatred for each other to leave each other bloody and battered!! And what about Jake Anderson? According to his brother Dave, Jake’s gone missing and nobody has seen the young man in over an hour.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – There are some pretty hot young women in the federation. Anyone check the ladies dressing room?
Mike Godwinn – I’m sure it was one of the first places they checked. Let’s talk about our opening match of the night as it’s going to be the number three ranked Funny Bones taking on the Television champion Raven Horse.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Funny Bones needs this match if he’s going to be a legitimate challenger for the TV title. Beating Raven Horse tonight should set him up for a title match down the road.
Mike Godwinn – Folks, let’s get right to the action as Funny Bones takes on the Television champion Raven Horse. JoJo it’s all yours!!!

[ The sold-out crowd explodes to their feet booing as “The House of 1000 Corpses” by Rob Zombie erupts across the arena and “The Demon King” Funny Bones stalks out on stage. Slowly he walks down to the ring and climbs in glaring at the referee. ]
Mike Godwinn – Funny Bones comes into this match with a two and six record and is within striking distance of the TV title, but he can’t let up because people like Tiger King and Joey Ryan are not that far behind him.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – I like this group of guys. They are the young lions of the Empire. Not good enough yet to fight for the World Heavyweight title, but still hungry enough to fight through the tough losses. I love the fact that there is a title belt that they can compete for.
“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – And his opponent! Making his way to the ring being accompanied by Reverend Azazel and weighing in at 247 lbs., he is the reigning W.W.E. Television Champion, this is… Raven Horse!!!

Mike Godwinn – The ever-cocky Raven Horse has no respect for Funny Bones right now as he taunts the young man from across the ring.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Raven Horse has been a star in the Empire since day one, but he needs to lose this attitude of his. He doesn’t need to cheat so damn much if he’s ever going to be taken seriously for a United States title shot or even a World Heavyweight title shot down the road.

“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – The winner of this match, Funny Bones!!!
[ The Natural Disasters and Reverend Azazel rush into the ring and Bulk and Funny Bones escape as they tend to a beaten Raven Horse!!! ]
Mike Godwinn – Unbelievable Pezzer!!! With the help of Bulk, Funny Bones has pulled off a huge win tonight over the Television champion!!!
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – If you ask me, someone has to do something to help even the odds around here!!! Bulk has no alliances with anyone, but he sure as hell hates the Devils Rejects, that’s for damn sure!!!
Mike Godwinn – I can agree with that. Folks, let’s go to the back where our very own Courtney Cox is standing by with the Women’s World Champion Amber Nova and her tag team partner for tonight Holidead!!!
[ The videotron comes on as it shows Courtney Cox standing between Amber Nova and Holidead. ]
Courtney “Loves” Cox – Ladies, tonight you are in tag team action against the two women that you will each be fighting in just three nights at Queen of the Ring in Thunder Rosa and Bloody Mary. How are each of you preparing for tonight, without tipping your hands too much for your matches Sunday night?
Holidead – Tipping my hand? You stupid American bitch!!! I just found out, what; ten minutes ago, that I even had a match!!! As far as I knew I was preparing to win the Queen of the Ring Battle Royal and earning my shot at the Women’s World title!!!
[ Amber Nova rolls her eyes at Holidead. ]
The Women’s World Champion “The Perfect 10” Amber Nova – Listen Holidead, I get your pissed off that you have to face your former BFF in a Death Match at Queen of the Ring; but we need to stay focused.
[ Holidead is pissed as she gets right in Amber Nova’s face. ]
Holidead – It’s a Mexican Death match!!! Do you have any idea what the hell that means?
The Women’s World Champion “The Perfect 10” Amber Nova – No, do I look Mexican to you?
Holidead – You look like a barbie doll holding my title!!! I can’t deal with this right now, I’m out of here!!!
[ Holidead storms off the set leaving Amber Nova rolling her eyes. ]
The Women’s World Champion “The Perfect 10” Amber Nova – Fucking amateurs!!!
Courtney “Loves” Cox – I guess this interview is over. Back to you guys.
[ The show goes back to Mike and Pezzer at ringside. ]
Mike Godwinn – I gotta tell you Pezzer, this Mexican Death Match Shane signed for the pay per view has Holidead rattled!!!
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – I’ve been in a few Death Matches over the years, but I don’t think I’ve ever been in a Mexican version. Either way, they all suck balls. Nobody leaves the match the same they walked in.
Mike Godwinn – Folks, it’s time for our next match and it was going to feature the Golden BoyZ taking on the Hooligans, but Jake Anderson has gone missing and nobody has seen him in what, hours?
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – This puts Dave Anderson in one hell of a bind. The Golden BoyZ can’t afford to take the loss, so Dave’s hoping someone steps up to help them out. That in itself is risky too not knowing who the hell is going to extend the olive branch to help you out and if even they can be trusted.
Mike Godwinn – This should be exciting. Let’s go back to the ring and join JoJo Rodriguez as she is ready to announce this huge tag team match!!!
The Golden BoyZ vs The Hooligans
“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – The following tag team match is set for one fall with a twenty-minute time limit. Making their way to the ring, weighing in at a combined weight of 462 lbs., Reno and Scum; they are… the Hooligans!!!
[ The crowd doesn’t know whether to boo or cheer these two odd individuals as “We are Scum” by Reno and Scum blares across the arena as the tag team duo of Reno and Scum make their way down to the ring and climb in, pacing around waiting for their opponents. ]
Mike Godwinn – This is a huge match for the Hooligans who right now sit in the number six spot in the World Tag Team rankings. If they can somehow pick up a win tonight, they very well could leapfrog right up to the number four or five spot.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – If there’s ever a night that these kids could steal a win, tonight’s the night. Without Jake, Dave’s going to have to wrestle with a partner he has never wrestled before with.
“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – And their opponents!!! Making his way to the ring weighing in at 198 lbs., this is… Dave Anderson!!!
[ The crowd goes crazy booing as "Let's Go All the Way" by Insane Clown Posse rocks the arena as Dave Anderson walks out on stage and down to the ring with a worried look on his face as to who his tag team partner may be. ]
Mike Godwinn – Dave’s got a very concerned look on his face and I have to believe that it’s a mixture of both his brother and who his mystery partner may be.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – I’m sure that Shane’s found someone of equal ability as Jake Anderson is. I doubt that he would stick Dave with Tiger King or STIXX, no offense to them.
“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – And his tag team partner. Making his way to the ring weighing in at 175 lbs, he is "The Clown Prince of Pro-Wrestling”; this is… Travis Blake!!!
[ The crowd goes bananas as “Scars that I'm Hiding" by Ashes to New rocks the arena as the newest member of the Empire walks out on stage with his black leather jacket on along with his two-hundred-dollar Ray-Ban’s. The women in the crowd are screaming for him as he struts down to the ring, climbs up onto the ring apron and whips his jacket open showing off his solid six pack ab’s!!! ]
Mike Godwinn – What a great pick for Shane McMahon tonight to help out the Golden BoyZ!! This kid’s been on one hell of a hot streak since coming into the Empire.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – I agree, this kid has got it all; but he is coming off of a brutal six-man tag team match against the Triad on Adrenaline!!! It has to make Dave feel a little better about their chances tonight.

[ The videotron comes on as it shows Courtney Cox smiling as she stands next to the CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon. ]
Courtney “Loves” Cox – Shane, you’ve asked for this time to talk about the upcoming Queen of the Ring Pay Per View in just three nights along with the Civil War Pay Per View in ten days. The floor is yours.
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – Thank you Courtney. So, over the course of the show, Mark, DDP and myself have been teleconferencing about how we can make these pay per view events even bigger, and we think that we have the answer. We have opened up the Battle Royals to anyone that wants to join, even if it’s just for one night. But what we are also going to do is, the four competitors in the World title matches will not be allowed in the Battle Royals!!!
Courtney “Loves” Cox – So, what you’re saying is that Prophet, Stone, Bloody Mary and Amber Nova will not be allowed to be in the Battle Royal’s?
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – That’s correct. The Battle Royal’s will be held right before each world title match. We feel like these Battle Royals may give a true wild card an opportunity to challenge one of our champions where normally they would have to earn that shot by climbing the rankings!!!
Courtney “Loves” Cox – It is also going to make these four top stars fight even harder to win their matches knowing that they might not get another opportunity for a while!!!
The CEO of the Empire Shane McMahon – That’s right. Maybe the extra incentive will get us our very first five-star match tonight!!!
Courtney “Loves” Cox – I remember our first four-star match just a month ago!! Guys, back to you!!!

“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Who knows what’s going on in that whack-a-doodles head!!! He’s dressing like Jesus for fucks sake!!!
