Afterburn
Live from the sold-out Bell Arena in Denver, Colorado
Thursday Night October 21st, 2021
8:00pm EST
[ The shows opens with the Titantron showing the Empires new promo video package with all the stars of the Empire like Alexander Stone hitting his Stonebreaker, Tank Edge locking on his Recliner, Amber Nova punishing someone with her Nova Driver Travis Blake nailing someone with the Weapon X!!! We see the Bullet Club led by Travis Blake blasts across the big screen as well as Go-D leading his Legacy team. The music of "Till I Collapse" by Eminem echoing 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 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. Buddy, I have to ask you; how are you feeling after that brutal assault by Godzilla Sanchez right here last week where he assaulted you with a steel chair right here at the announcer’s desk.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – How am I feeling? I feel like climbing into that ring and beating the living shit out of that little A-hole myself. He’s got no idea who he’s messing with. I’m an honorary member of the Bullet Club and I’ve got the tee-shirt to prove it. Mark my words, I will get my revenge on that little rat bastard. Come hell or high water, I will beat him within an inch of his life. I’m going to skin him alive and crucify him right in the middle of that very ring!!! He’s got no clue who he fucked with!!!
Mike Godwinn – Easy buddy, you just recovered from a very serious concussion. Let’s not get too stressed out. Let me ask you though. How bad was that toilet you were handcuffed to?
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – It was the worst smelling situation I have ever been in. Massive Mike blew that toilet up at the worst possible moment. I could kill Godzilla for that.
Mike Godwinn – Folks, we have a huge night of action lined up for you and it all builds toward tonight’s main event where Prophet has challenged Chandler Hopkins in which if Hopkins loses, he will have earned his freedom from the Prophecy. But if he loses tonight, Hopkins will be forever indentured to Prophet.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Hopkins wants out of the Prophecy? He’s going to have to go through the Modern-day Messiah himself to get there and that’s not going to be an easy task. The Chosen One is a former World Heavyweight Champion and Hopkins isn’t even in this man’s league. I hope Hopkins likes being Prophets “Young Boy” for the rest of his career.
Mike Godwinn – Another huge match we will see tonight is the Number One Contenders match where Shane McMahon has hand picked Tony Tran to take on Boris Drago where the winner will move on to Adrenaline next week to face Go-D for the title. Honestly, this smells like a big pile of shit to me.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – The only thing that Shane said Monday night that had an ounce of truth to it was that neither of these men have wrestled for the World title yet since the relaunch. But that’s because they both suck and don’t deserve a title match. These guys are the lowest ranked wrestlers on the roster. How in the hell does that earn either of them a title shot is beyond me!!! Let’s feed Go-D more jobbers and pad his record for Christ sakes.
Mike Godwinn – In another Number One Contenders match, we will see the top four tag teams go at it for a shot at the New Regime right here next week on Adrenaline. The Zealots will face the Lynch Mob, Legacy and the Guerillas of Destiny. Eight men in the ring but only two will walk out with the contract.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – As much as I hated the Tony Tran versus Boris Drago match, I absolutely love this tag team match. What better way to crown the top challenger to the New Regime’s titles than to have a Fatal Four-way match. This match is going to blow the roof off the place.
Mike Godwinn – But we’re not done yet. A third Number One Contenders match will feature Ace Sky taking on Marc Fulton for the right to face DDP for his TV title at All Hallows Evil!!!
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – The power of Marc Fulton versus the ariel assault of Ace Sky. You can’t get a more contrast of styles than what these two men are going to bring to the ring tonight. I am sure Page is going to be watching this match very closely.
Mike Godwinn – Another match that I am going to be personally watching very closely is the match between Kiera Hogan and Shanna Furguson. These two women are ranked two and three for Amber Nova’s Women’s World title. You have to believe that whoever wins this match will be getting the next title shot at the pay per view.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – The twenty-six-year-old Kiera Hogan taking on the forty-five-year-old Shanna Furguson. It’s MMA versus Sports Entertainment at its best. Kiera Hogan has had one World title shot and she won the match by disqualification. She would love to get another shot at whoever has the belt, but first she must face a woman that is a wrestling machine. Shanna has been dipping her toes in the title pool since the Empire reopened. She was the first ever Women’s National champion, a title that she held for fifty-six days. She knows what it’s going to take to recapture the title and right now, Kiera stands in her way. What a match!!!
Mike Godwinn – We are also going to see the debut of the brand-new superstar just added to the roster this past Monday in Massive Mike as he takes on STIXX. This gentleman stands six-foot three and tops four hundred and fifty-five pounds!!! He just topped Babba Ali as the heaviest man on the roster. What a massive signing for the Empire as the roster continues to build.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – I didn’t know much about this guy so I had to Wiki him and come to find out he aint nothen special. College drop-out turned backyard wrestler. He thinks he’s a fat Nick Gage or some shit. And his ass sticks as hell too. Next time a courtesy flush wouldn’t kill yeah.
Mike Godwinn – Folks, if you think that’s all we had planned for tonight you would be wrong. We are going to kick things off tonight with a six-woman tag team match where Lady Edge is going to team with Malia Hosaka and Millie McKenzie taking on Amber Nova and her Mean Girls!!! What a way to kick off tonight’s show!!!
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – This is a huge prelude to the pay per view where we are going to see Lady Edge teaming with Malia Hosaka as they take on the Mean Girls and later in the night Millie McKenzie will challenge Amber Nova once again for the Women’s World title.
Mike Godwinn – Folks, we are not going to waste any more time. Let’s go to the ring and get right to the action!!!
The opening match
Lady Edge, Malia Hosaka and Millie McKenzie vs Amber Nova © and The Mean Girls
“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – The following six-women tag team match is set for one fall with a twenty-minute time limit!!! Making her way to the ring, weighing in at 122 lbs; this is... Lady Edge!!!
[ The crowd explodes to their feet cheering as “Ruby Soho” by Rancid explodes across the arena and the Empire legend Lady Edge storms out onto the stage with a determined look on her face!!! She powerwalks down to the ring and climbs in ripping off her jacket and pumping the crowd up as she stands on the second turnbuckle. ]
Mike Godwinn – Lady Edge had a brutal match at Stable Wars where she found herself not only on the losing end, but also found herself being strangled by Amber Nova as she used a camera cable to nearly choke her to death. Tonight, she comes back and gets a chance to get her hands on Amber once again.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Let me clue you in on something, Lady Edge isn’t here for the title belts that Amber Nova holds very close to her breasts. No, Lady Edge is here to shut Amber up once and for all for thinking that she’s better than all the great women’s wrestlers that came before her. She’s here to knock Amber off her high horse.
“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – And her tag team partner. Making her way to the ring, weighing in at 130 lbs., this is… Malia Hosaka!!!
[ The crowd boos their asses off as “Head like a hole” by Nine Inch Nails plays. Malia Hosaka walks down to the ring and climb in all alone. ]
Mike Godwinn – Malia Hosaka is coming off a disappointing loss Monday night to Maria Manic when she left the ring to confront the Mean Girls and Amber Nova and that opened the door for Twisted SisterZ to brutally attack Maria Manic. Thanks to the intervention of Su Yim, she saved her Maria from getting seriously hurt.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Talk about chaos right now in the Women’s division. I bet you a hundred bucks Gail Kim never thought it was going to be this tough managing this roster full of crazies!!! These women are PMSing all the damn time.
“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – And their tag team partner. Making her way to the ring weighing in at 128 lbs.; she is… “The 2021 Queen of the Ring” Millie McKenzie!!!
[ "The Enemy" by The Commonjets rocks the arena as Millie walks out on stage. She walks down to the ring and climbs in as the crowd gives her a standing ovation!!! ]
Mike Godwinn – Listen to the crowd Pezzer, they love her. At All Hallows Evil she will get another shot at dethroning Amber Nova and take the Women’s World title from her. A task that has been accomplished by only one other woman and that was Bloody Mary back at Day of Reckoning.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Yeah, and a title that Amber quickly got back when she defeated Bloody Mary the very next month all Eve of Destruction. Let’s face it. She’s the best in the game today. She stands at the top of the mountain with seventeen wins. She is the uncrowned Empress of the Empire in my book.
“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – And their opponents. Making their way to the ring being accompanied by Paul Heyman; they weigh in at a combined weight of 365 lbs., this is the two-time Women’s World Champion and the current Women’s National Champion Amber Nova and The Mean Girls!!!
[ The crowd boos their asses off as “Creepy” plays over the crowd noise. The Women’s World Champion Amber Nova struts out showing off her Women’s World title belt followed by her manager Paul Heyman who cradles the Women’s National title in his hands along with her new found besties, the Mean Girls following close behind them. She flaunts herself off as she struts down to the ring and climbs in raising both titles high overhead. The Mean Girls follow Amber wherever she goes like two little schoolgirls. ]
Mike Godwinn – Nobody can question the wrestling ability of Amber Nova. Since the Empire reopened back on January eleventh, she has only lost four singles matches. Think about that for a minute. That’s a monumental statistic like her or not.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – We all know how good she is. She reminds us all the time. Maybe if she was just slightly humbler about it, people like Lady Edge wouldn’t want to kick her ass so much.
[ Lady Edge and Cassie Lee start the match off as the bell rings and they lock up. Lady Edge hits an Exploder suplex into the turnbuckles on Cassie Lee. Lady Edge drives a corner forearm smash onto Cassie Lee. Lady Edge attempts a springboard spear, but Cassie Lee counters it with a kneelift to the face.

[ Millie McKenzie complains to the referee about a slow count. Millie McKenzie climbs to the top rope and nails Cassie Lee with the Phoenix Splash!!! Millie rolls Cassie up as Todd Sinclair counts ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ ...and Cassie kicks out!!! ]
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Beautiful Phoenix Splash by Millie nearly got her the win but Cassie just barely kicked out in time.

Amber Nova whips Millie McKenzie into the ropes, but Millie McKenzie reverses it and drives a fist to the midsection of Amber Nova. Millie McKenzie takes Amber Nova down with a DDT.

Malia Hosaka locks on a Fujiwara armbar. Amber Nova is struggling to reach the ropes. Amber Nova is valiantly trying to break the hold.

Time of match: 0:06:45
“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – The winner of this match by disqualification, Millie McKenzie, Malia Hosaka and Lady Edge!!!
Mike Godwinn – Heyman is in a world of shit now!!!
[ Heyman starts to crawl away on his hands and knees when Lady Edge soars off the top rope with a diving leg drop that nearly decapitates Heyman!!! The Mean Girls reach under the bottom rope and pull Heyman to safety as they head back up the rampway. ]
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – You had to figure that this match wasn’t going to end cleanly with people like the Mean Girls and Heyman out there!!!
Mike Godwinn – Folks, I am getting word that Tony Tran is standing by with Cindy Meyers. Let’s go to the back and listen in.
[ The show cuts to the back where Cindy Meyers is standing next to a very well-dressed Tony Tran in a three-piece suit and fancy shoes on.
Cindy Meyers – Tony, tonight you have to face Boris Drago in a Number One Contendership match where the winner will advance to Adrenaline next Monday night to face Go-D for the World title. Are you ready for what Boris might bring to the match?
[ Tony smiles at that question. ]
“The Million Dollar Man” Tony Tran – Am I ready? You do know who you are talking to, right? I am “The Million Dollar Man”. I held the Emperors Crown title until I was falsely striped of it!!! It is my destiny to beat Go-D and become the World Heavyweight Champion.
Cindy Meyers – Some people are saying that the only reason that you and Boris were chosen for this match is because whomever wins will be a rather easy mark for Go-D to beat next Monday night. Your thoughts on those comments.
“The Million Dollar Man” Tony Tran – Easy mark? Who makes this shit up? I’m Tony Tran. I was best friends with the owner of this company!!! He was the one that crowned me “The Million Dollar Man”. I was one half of the greatest tag team to ever exist in “The Untouchables”.
[ Cindy crinkles her nose and nods her head in confusion. ]
“The Million Dollar Man” Tony Tran – What? You never heard of the Untouchables? “The Million Dollar Man” Tony Tran and “Hollywood” Helms!!! We won the Smackdown Tag Team titles back in 2003!!!
[ She still nods her head no... ]
Cindy Meyers – I’m sorry, I was five years old then.
[ Tran looks irritated. ]
“The Million Dollar Man” Tony Tran – Fucking kids. Just take my word on it that it was epic!!! Listen, I don’t care what people say about why Shane and Mark picked me. All I care about is getting past Drago tonight and beating the holy snot out of Go-D Monday night and ripping my title... my belt out of his cold, lifeless hands. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have a match to prepare for.
[ The show cuts back to Pezzer and Mike at the announcers table. ]
Mike Godwinn – Pezzer seems pretty confident tonight as he flashes back to days gone by to try and boost his confidence. I remember the Untouchables. They were a pretty damn good team, but I would not say that they were the best ever like he claims. There are a number of teams on today’s roster that would love to challenge that claim.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Not a huge fan of Tran, but what would you expect him to do? Tell everyone that he’s a basket of nerves right now? That’ he’s been stuck in the bathroom shitting his pants ever since Shane announced this match? Of course, he’s nervous, but he’s not going to tip his hand tonight and give Boris and momentum.
Mike Godwinn – Folks, it’s time for our next big match of the night and it comes from the Women’s division as Kiera Hogan and Shanna Furguson collide in a match of two of the top three women on the roster. What a match we are about to see as we go back to the ring and join JoJo for the introductions!!!
Kiera Hogan vs Shanna Furguson
“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – The following match is set for one fall with a twenty-minute time limit. Making her way to the ring; she weighs in at 155 lbs., she is the former Women’s National Champion; this is… “The Beast” Shanna Furguson!!!
[ The crowd boos as “The Trainer Battle” of the Pokémon Guitar Cover plays and Shanna storms down to the ring, bare foot and dressed in her UFC garb. She dives under the bottom rope and starts to pace around like a mad woman. ]
Mike Godwinn – Shanna has gotten herself all pumped up right now as she’s like a shark in a feeding frenzy.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – If you ask me, it’s a bit over the top. Just look at her right now. She’s expending so much energy right now she’s ready to pop off.
“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – And her opponent!!! Making her way to the ring weighing in at 114 lbs., this is… Kiera Hogan!!!
[ The crowd cheers as “Love, Fury, Passion, Energy” plays as Kiera Hogan walks down to the ring and climbs in posing on the second turnbuckle. ]
Mike Godwinn – And here is the number two ranked Kiera Hogan who is a little upset that she has been left off the pay per view card, but plans to show Gail that she made a mistake by doing that as she attempts to beat the powerful Shanna.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – This is going to be a great match between two very different styles. Shanna is much more of a grounded mat technician using her MMA skills.

Time of match: 0:10:19
“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – The winner of this match by pinfall, Kiera Hogan!!!
Mike Godwinn – Great win for Kiera tonight as she overcame a massively talented opponent in Shanna Furguson. This young lady is going to be a huge part of this company for years to come. Amber, Millie; watch your backs because Kiera Hogan is coming for both of you!!!
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Looking back at this match I really think the biggest mistake that Shanna made was that she let Kiera hang around. A talent like Kiera you need to put away early. You let her hang around it just gives her hope. Hope can be a killer out there.
Mike Godwinn – Folks, our very own Cindy Meyers is outside of Massive Mike’s dressing room as we are about to get our first appearance of the newest free agent. Let’s head to the back.
[ Cindy Meyers and a cameraman are standing outside a locker room door. Within a couple moments Massive Mike makes his way out of the room. ]
Massive Mike - Ready?
Cindy Meyers - First off, I’d like to welcome you Massive Mike into The Empire. Now before we begin, most of your experience has come from backyard wrestling, so this will be your first time competing in the big leagues, correct?
Massive Mike - Yeah, my experience has come from backyard wrestling but it was only a matter of time before I stepped into a ring like this. Did you get the clips I sent earlier today? Mind playing them for the audience?
[ Cindy Meyers nods her head, and the screen fades into a black screen. The first clip starts to air. It shows a ring set up in a small backyard type setting. The clip begins with Massive Mike setting up a slender male wrestler half his size against a table propped up on the corner turnbuckle. Massive Mike maneuvers himself backwards until his back touches the opposite corner. Massive Mike dashes toward the wrestler and just as he's a few feet away, Massive Mike leaps into the air and body slams into the wrestler causing the table to smash in half. Massive Mike steps back and begins to laugh as he looks down at his work.
The clip changes to the start of a match between Massive Mike and a large man in the same weight class. The clip quickly changes to what appears to be the end of the match. Massive Mike is full of adrenaline and the large man appearing to be worn out struggling to keep himself on his two feet. Massive Mike delivers a kick to the man's gut. Massive Mike reaches forward, uses his strength and lifts the large man off his feet for a moment before slamming him back down with a powerbomb. Massive Mike drags the man near the corner turnbuckle. Massive Mike climbs to the top of the turnbuckle, bounces a few times before he leaps into the air and crashes his massive backside onto the large man's chest executing his signature Atomic Squash (Banzai Drop). The referee starts to count the pin. ...1 ...2 ...3!!! The bell rings.
The clip changes once more. This time another heavyset wrestler is sitting in the corner and appears to be exhausted and in a daze. Within a few moments Massive Mike makes his way over toward the corner, turns himself around and places his ass directly on the wrestler's face executing his signature Gas Chamber (the Stink-face) The wrestler attempts to push him off but doesn't appear to have any strength left. He has no choice but to tap against the Mat. However Massive Mike doesn't let up right away. Rather he continues to humiliate his opponent. The referee attempts to pull Massive Mike off the wrestler but the referee doesn't have the strength to remove Massive Mike from his hold. Massive Mike has a huge grin from ear to ear as he continues his punishment, suddenly the screen cuts out into a black screen.
[ Massive Mike stares into the camera just smiling. ]
Massive Mike - I can't say much since it's only my first night here, so I wanted to give the audience a preview of what they are in for. Tonight, I'm up against STIXX and I plan on making a good first impression.
[ Massive Mike continues smiling at the camera for a moment before he makes his way back into his own locker room. The scene cuts across the arena as we see Mike Thompson and Chris Simmons backstage somewhere. ]
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – So tonight, in someone’s infinite wisdom; Legacy has to take part in a Fatal Four-way match to face the New Regime for the World Tag Team titles. As much as we love beating the hell out of our competition, I have to ask why the hell aren’t we getting our rematch? Why do we have to jump through hoops to get what we contractually deserve?
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – Shane, Mark; I don’t know which one of you are behind this; but we want answers. We are Legacy God damn-it!!! We don’t work for the Empire... we are the Empire!!!
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – It seems pretty damn funny that Go-D gets catered to around here. He gets to face one of the bottom two men on the roster in his title defense? Are you shitting me?
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – You want us to go out there and take back what’s ours? Fine. Have it your way. But when the smoke clears and the body count rises, don’t say we didn’t warn you!!!
[ They storm off the set as the show swings back to Mike and Pezzer at ringside. ]
Mike Godwinn – It seems there is a crack forming within Legacy Pezzer. The former tag team champions feel strongly that they deserve a title rematch and that Go-D is being catered to, as they said.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Go-D is absolutely being catered to. Shane knows who brings the money in and that’s the World Champion. Shane will do anything to keep the title within Legacy. Go-D equals money, plain and simple.
Mike Godwinn – Folks, it’s time for this huge fatal four-way tag team match where the winner moves on to Monday night to take on the New Regime for the straps. Four teams come into this match, but only one can claim the contract. Let’s get right to the action!!! JoJo take it away partner.
World Tag Team Title #1 Contendership match
The Zealots vs The Guerillas of Destiny vs The Lynch Mob vs Legacy
“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – The following Fatal Four-way tag team match is set for one fall with a twenty-minute time limit and it is for the Number One Contendership for the World Tag Team titles. Making their way to the ring accompanied by Salena, they weigh in at a combined weight of 433 lbs.; Joey and Matt Lynch along with Mance Warner; they are… The Lynch Mob!!
[ A mixture of cheers and boos ring out as “War” by Lynch Mob explodes across the stadium as the two brawling brothers march out on stage followed by their friend Mance Warner and Salena holding hands as they walk out on stage. The Lynch Mob tell Mance and Salena that they have to go to the back and Mance doesn’t understand why. The Lynch Mob tell them to stay put as they make their way down to the ring and climb in posing in the corners. ]
Mike Godwinn – We watched Monday night when the Lynch Mob told Mance that they were not going to put up with Salena anymore. That they didn’t like her and they will never trust her. But yet Mance still chose to bring Salena out on stage. For that, Matt and Joey gave them both the boot.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – The Lynch Mob have a huge match tonight and they don’t need to be distracted by that two-timing tramp Salena. If they are going to win this thing tonight, they need to stay focused and stay on point.
“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – And their opponents. Making their way to the ring, weighing in at a combined weight of 433 lbs and being accompanied by “The Modern-day Messiah” “The Chosen One” Prophet; they are Painkiller and Insanity, they are… the Zealots!!!
[ The crowd goes ape-shit booing as the arena goes dark and pyro explodes before “The Power of I and I” by Shadows Fall explodes across the arena. The red spotlight beams down to the center of the stage where the Zealots, Painkiller and Insanity along with Prophet stand center stage. The sold-out crowd boos their asses off as the three men walk down to the ring and climb in. ]
Mike Godwinn – The Zealots come down to the ring with the former World Heavyweight Champion by their side. They walk into this match as the number one contender based on record alone as they have yet to be defeated as a tag team.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – These two crazed individuals have dominated everyone they have faced right from the onset. It wouldn’t shock me one bit if they walk out of this match tonight with a date with the New Regime Monday night.
“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 being accompanied by Paul Heyman, weighing in at a combined weight of 439 lbs., they are two-thirds of the World Six-man Tag Team Champions, Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa; they are… the Guerillas of Destiny!!
[ The sold-out crowd goes nuts booing as “The Firing Squad” by No Name Tim rocks the arena as the two Samoan warrior’s storm down to the ring and dive under the bottom rope in unison popping to their feet and posing on the ropes with their World Six-man tag team titles raised high over-head as Heyman stays on the floor. ]
Mike Godwinn – The reigning World Six-man Tag Team Champions make their way to the ring tonight minus Travis Blake. It would make a hell of a story if they move on to Monday night and became both World Tag Team Champions again and World Six-man Tag Team Champions.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – These two men have been the cornerstones of not one but two great stables in the Empire as they were a part of both the Gold Standard and now the Bullet Club. You can’t mention either stable without talking about the Guerillas.
“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – And their opponents. Making their way to the ring, weighing in at a combined weight of 467 lbs., “The Messiah” Chris Simmons and “Crazy Man” Mike Thompson, they are… Legacy!!!
[ “Unforgiven” by Creed rocks the arena as Empire Hall of Famers Crazy Man and the Messiah walk out on stage to the roar of the sold-out crowd!!! As one, they march down to the ring and climb in never taking their eyes off their opponents. ]
Mike Godwinn – Is it me or does it seem a little conspicuous that Go-D is not out here tonight with his teammates? These guys have been as thick as thieves since forming Legacy. What is going on within this group?
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Legacy represents the Empire’s past and all the great superstars that built this company. The problem is, it also represents all the shitty things that happened to this company. The ego trips. The in-fighting. The backstabbing. The favoritism. Everything that ruined the Empire. It’s a fine line Legacy is walking right now.

The Women’s Division General Manager Gail Kim – That’s right. So, for the past few weeks we have all watched as Bloody Mary and Havok have been fighting with Caged Heat and the Twisted SisterZ have been feuding with Su Yim and Maria Manic. Since these women refuse to settle things themselves, I have decided to do it for them. At All Hallows Evil we are going to have an eight-women tag team match. On one side it is going to be Su Yim, Maria Manic, Bloody Mary and Havok and on the other side it’s going to be Twisted SisterZ and Caged Heat. Let the best team win!!!
[ The show swings to the office of Shane McMahon where we can see Shane sitting at his desk. The World Heavyweight Champion Go-D storms into the office dressed in a suit and tie. He slams the World title on the desk and glares down at Shane who slowly looks up at him. ]
The CEO of the Empire and Empire Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – What’s the matter?
The World Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Go-D – I want to know if it’s true?
The CEO of the Empire and Empire Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – Listen, I’m not in the mood tonight to play this game with you. Is what true?
The World Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Go-D – You know damn well what I am talking about. All the buzz in the back about you protecting me. Hand picking my opponents so that I don’t drop the belt!!!
The CEO of the Empire and Empire Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – Dave...
[ Go-D slams his fist on Shane’s desk. ]
The World Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Go-D – Damn-it Shane, tell me the fucking truth!!!
[ Shane stares at Go-D right in the eyes. ]
The CEO of the Empire and Empire Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – Have you ever watched Rocky III?
The World Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Go-D – Rocky III? What the hell does that have to do with this?
The CEO of the Empire and Empire Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – In that move Mickey admitted that all of Rocky’s title matches were handpicked opponents.
The World Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Go-D – So you’re saying that you’re handpicking my opponents for me? Why Shane?
The CEO of the Empire and Empire Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – Why Dave? Why am I protecting you? Why am I protecting that?
[ And Shane points at the World Heavyweight title. ]
The CEO of the Empire and Empire Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – Because that World Heavyweight title is as much as mine as it is yours. I have given the Empire everything. I split off and formed the WWCF because of the Empire. My blood is on that belt as much as yours is.
The World Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Go-D – I can beat anyone!!!
The CEO of the Empire and Empire Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – Really? Anyone? If it wasn’t for me, you would never have beaten Prophet!!!
The World Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Go-D – You’ve been behind everything?!
The CEO of the Empire and Empire Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – You’re damn straight I have been and I am going to continue pulling the strings Pinocchio because I write the checks that you and the rest of legacy love to cash.
The World Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Go-D – That’s why you picked Tony Tran and Boris Drago. You don’t think I can beat anyone else?
The CEO of the Empire and Empire Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – I think you were a great wrestler. There was a time that you were the best. I just think that this new generation has that hunger you don’t have. We can run this company, Dave. Don’t question my decisions ever again.
[ Go-d grabs his World title belt and storms out. Shane shakes his head and then pulls out his cell phone. The phone rings before the man on the other end picks up. ]
The CEO of the Empire and Empire Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – Kev, it’s me. Yeah, I think he’s going to be a problem. He’s figured it out. Yeah, come on back.
[ The show cuts back to Mike and Pezzer at the announcers table. ]
Mike Godwinn – Folks, our next match features the high flyer Ace Sky taking on Marc Fulton for the right to face DDP at the pay per view for the TV title. This match has been building up for a while now as it all started when Ace came to Fulton’s aid. They then teamed up to win a tag team match together, but Fulton again attacked him. That attack led to a one-on-one match where Ace Sky defeated Fulton in under two minutes. Now they meet again tonight with a title match on the line!!!
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Fulton has been busting his ass for months trying to get a title shot. Now this new kid thinks he can step up and cut the line? If I was Fulton, I would be pretty pissed off too.
Mike Godwinn – Folks, let’s go to the ring for the introductions!!! JoJo, take it away.
TV Title #1 Contendership match
Ace Sky vs Marc Fulton
“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – The following match is set for one fall with a twenty-minute time limit and it is for the Number One Contendership for the TV title. Making his way to the ring, weighing in at 318 lbs; this is… “The Madman” Marc Fulton!!!
[ Fulton’s video package and music plays as the crowd boos and the very pissed off big man storms down to the ring and steps over the top rope to get into the ring. ]
Mike Godwinn – Fulton comes into this match with a five and four record and is ranked fifth for the US title. He is due a title shot and by winning tonight he will have earned it.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – It’s stupid that he has to even wrestle this match against a guy that’s been here what, three weeks? This kid hasn’t even paid his dues yet and we are going to write him into a match?
“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – And his opponent. Making his way to the ring weighing in at 165 lbs, this is… Ace Sky!!!
[ The crowd pops as “Eye in the Sky” by Alan Parsons Project explodes across the arena as he walks down to the ring and climbs in. ]
Mike Godwinn – Let’s give Ace Sky credit. He’s done everything right so far as he comes into this match with a two and oh record and sits in the number one spot in the TV title rankings. Shane may be a prick, but he did pick the top two guys that really should get a shot at the TV title.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – I’m not questioning if they are the right guys based on where they are ranked. I am questioning if Ace Sky has earned his shot. He’s won two lousy matches Mike. Does two wins earn you a title shot? I don’t think so.
[ The sold-out crowd explodes in a chorus of boos as “It’s me. It’s me. It’s D… D… P!” rocks the arena and the WWE TV Champion Diamond Dallas Page struts out onto the stage. ]
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Tell me you didn’t invite this A-hole out here?
Mike Godwinn – He’s a Hall of Famer. I think he can go anywhere he wants to go.
[ Page walks down to the ring and makes his way over to the announcers desk grabbing a headset and sitting down next to Mike. ]
Mike Godwinn – Champ, welcome. I assume you are out here to scout the two men that you might face at the upcoming pay per view?

The W.W.E. Television Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Diamond Dallas Page – The kid is as quick as a cat. But if Fulton can connect with those catcher mite sized hands of his it’s going to be hell to pay for Sky.
[ Ace Sky springs up to the top turnbuckle again and leaps off connecting with a 450 splash onto Marc Fulton. Ace rolls Fulton up as Joey Jiles counts ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ ...and Fulton kicks out!!! ]
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Another top rope high risk move by Sky is keeping Fulton grounded. That’s a smart thing for this kid to keep the big man off his feet!!!
The W.W.E. Television Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Diamond Dallas Page – Fulton can’t hurt you from his knees or while he’s on his back. This is the same way I would approach him.

[ Marc Fulton loses his shit and gets a boot choke against the ropes on Ace Sky. Joey Jiles warns Marc Fulton to let go as he counts ...1 ...2 ...3 ...4 ...and Fulton finally lets go before getting disqualified. ]
Mike Godwinn – Fulton has deep anger issues and if Sky can take advantage of that Fulton will do something stupid and that will open the door for Sky to take advantage of it.
The W.W.E. Television Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Diamond Dallas Page – I agree with you Mike. When Fulton gets angry, he tends to stop thinking straight and that leads to mistakes. Mistakes that this kid can take advantage of.

“The Living Legend” Pezzer – What a massive clothesline by Fulton who just turned Ace inside out and dropped the kid on the back of his neck!!!
The W.W.E. Television Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Diamond Dallas Page – That could be a crippling move for the kid as not only did he take the full brunt of that clothesline, but he landed awkwardly on the back of his neck and shoulder.

The W.W.E. Television Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Diamond Dallas Page – The kid’s got guts I give him that, but he needs to find a way to put Fulton away. The longer this match goes the more it favors Fulton and his power game.

Mike Godwinn – What a match we just witnessed tonight and its Ace Sky who once again came out on top of Marc Fulton!!!

The W.W.E. Television Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Diamond Dallas Page – You better be ready boy because you don’t want no part of this!!!
[ The show cuts to the back where we see Cindy Meyers standing next to Alexander Stone. ]
Cindy Meyers – Alex, first off welcome back to the Empire after your two-month layoff due to injuries that you suffered at the hands of Travis Blake and your former teammates in Amber Nova and the Guerillas of Destiny.
“Pure Gold” Alexander Stone – Thanks Cindy. Feeling good to get back in the gym and get a good workout in.
Cindy Meyers – Sitting at home for all that time, how did you handle it after your former Gold Standard members attacked you, turning their backs on you and siding with Travis forming the Bullet Club?
[ Stone nods his head. ]
“Pure Gold” Alexander Stone – Yeah, that’s a great question. I really thought that the Gold Standard was going to rule the Empire for years. We had so many plans. So many things that we wanted to accomplish together and individually. I really thought that we were all on the same page. I guess I was wrong.
Cindy Meyers – I would think that Amber Nova turning on you was the most difficult pill to swallow? It has been widely rumored that you and the Women’s Champion were involved in a relationship prior to her attacking you in the ring that night. Is there any truth to that?
[ Stone grins and brushes his hair out of his face. ]
“Pure Gold” Alexander Stone – Amber and I had a very intense relationship, but that’s as far as I want to go with that. I would like to keep my personal life personal. No matter what she did to me in the ring, I respect her enough to keep what we did or didn’t do behind closed doors to myself. All the speculators can just keep speculating.
Cindy Meyers – Travis Blake was the mastermind behind the attack and he takes pride in destroying the Gold Standard and putting you on the shelf. What are your feelings right now in regards to the new United States Heavyweight Champion?
“Pure Gold” Alexander Stone – Travis Blake is a pretty smart kid. He saw a crack forming inside the Gold Standard and he blew it wide open. Honestly, I don’t blame Travis for anything. I have had months to sit at home and digest what happened and honestly, I blame myself. I should have been a better leader. I should have been a better teammate. I should have listened more instead of being single minded. All that is on me. But let me be perfectly clear. I have not forgotten what they did to me and I will get my hands on each and every one of them before this is over. One by one I will rip the Bullet Club apart with my bare hands. Travis Blake, you have no idea what kind of shit storm you’re walking in to. You call yourself “The Face of the Empire”? Well, I’m going to rip your face off!!! Boy, you’ve taken just about everything from me and I’ve got nothing left to lose!!! I am willing to put everything on the line to tear your house down!!!
Cindy Meyers – Alex, to change topics for a minute; you have been selected to participate in the “Trick or Treat” match at All Hallows Evil in just over a week from now. Four men will walk into that match and there are only three cases with contracts in them. One of you four will be fired by the end of the match. Whomever doesn’t get a case will be escorted out of the building immediately and will be fired!!!
“Pure Gold” Alexander Stone – Lucky me, right? I’m gone for two months and I get tossed right into the middle of this shit storm right off the bat? Yeah, there’s a pretty good chance that I could get fired by the end of the night. Hell, just look at the guys in this match and it’s a head scratcher that we could lose one of the top superstars in the Empire. But I can’t focus on that right now. I have to look at it that there are three cases hanging there with contracts in them. My job at All Hallows Evil is to grab one of them and keep my job. At this point, I really don’t care what contract I get. Job security is number one in my book.
Cindy Meyers – Two of them men in this match you know pretty well in Prophet and Tito Escobar. The other man in this match is Godzilla Sanchez. Are you looking to form any sort of alliance with Godzilla to even the odds against those two men that you know are going to team up against each of you?
[ Stone smiles. ]
“Pure Gold” Alexander Stone – Team up with Godzilla? I don’t know if that’s going to happen, but I do wanna ask him where the fuck is my tee-shirt? I went on EMPIRESHOP.COM and I don’t see any of Stone’s tee-shirts!!! Ask him where my tee-shirt is. Maybe if he gets me a tee-shirt, I’ll watch his back out there.
Cindy Meyers – That’s funny Alex, and if I see Godzilla; I’ll be sure to ask him. Good luck at the pay per view.
“Pure Gold” Alexander Stone – Thanks Cindy.
Cindy Meyers – Guys, back to you.
[ The cameras cut back to Mike and Pezzer at the broadcast table. ]
Mike Godwinn – Pezzer, it’s always good to hear from Alexander Stone as he is focused on getting his hands on all the members of the Bullet Club that turned their backs on him; especially Travis Blake.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – What happened to Stone was a calculated assault that was weeks in the making. You can’t tell me that Amber wasn’t sleeping with the enemy while she was still sleeping with Stone. That shit’s just wrong. On the other hand, this is professional wrestling; and Stone should have known better than to think the Gold Standard was going to last forever!!! Even the Bullet Club is on the clock. Legendary stables like the nWo and Degeneration X all self-destructed at the end of the day.
Mike Godwinn – Folks, it’s time for our next match and this one is going to be a doozy as we are going to see the largest man in the Empire, Massive Mike take on STIXX!!!

[ Massive Mike is going for the cover as Yali Sapphire counts ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ ...and STIXX kicks out!!! ]

“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – The winner of this match, Massive Mike!!!
Mike Godwinn – What a big win for this young man tonight in his first match here in the Empire. I can’t wait to see where his career is going to take him.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – I agree, it was a good win tonight and a great way to kick off his time here in the Empire; but let’s not crown him the World Champion yet like all these marks in the arena are. Yeah, he’s good, but it’s a long climb to the top of the mountain.
Mike Godwinn – Folks, I am being told that Psycho Messiah is standing by and he has a few words for our CEO Shane McMahon.
[ The show cuts to the bowels of the arena where we see Psycho Messiah pacing around like a mad man. ]
Psycho Messiah – Shane McMahon, in ten nights you and I will finally meet inside that ring and you will have no place to run, no place to hide and no friends to watch your back!!!
[ He raises his hands and balls them up into fists. ]
Psycho Messiah - I will finally be able to get my hands on you and make you feel all the pain and unbridled rage that has been building inside of me for months. You screwed me over at every turn and for what? Because I didn’t fit your idealistic personification of what an Empire superstar should be? That my appearance to you was nothing more than a circus freakshow!!! I am more than what I appear!!!
[ Psycho Messiah leans into the camera. ]
Psycho Messiah – At All Hallows Evil, I am going to rip out your heart from your chest and feed on it. I am going to rip your soul out and offer it to my God and in return I will be put back on the righteous path and reclaim what was taken from me and that is the Television title!!! In ten nights, Shane, you will meet your maker, and you will pay with everything you hold dear!!!
[ The show cuts back to Mike and Pezzer at the broadcast table. ]
Mike Godwinn – All I can say is wow. Psycho Messiah is amped up right now to the Nth degree. He’s like a rabid dog ready to rip Shane apart.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – If I know Shane, he’s not coming alone. He’s going to have the Thrillers watching his back and maybe Nash too. Psycho Messiah better be ready for a fight because Legacy will sure as hell will be.

“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Just great. Why not bring out the entire Legacy crew why don’t they?
Mike Godwinn – You going to keep that Bullet Club tee-shirt on?
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Of course I’m going to keep it on. I’m an honorary member.
Mike Godwinn – You’re a member alright.
[ Go-D sits down next to Mike and places his World title on the desk so that everyone can see the massive plate. He slowly puts on his headset, adjusting his sunglasses and takes a sip of water from his bottle. ]
Mike Godwinn – Champ, welcome to the broadcast table. Just like Page earlier, I assume you are out here to scout your competition?
The World Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Go-D – Scout my competition? Are you some kind of comedian? Nobody knows Tony Tran like I do so there’s no scouting this idiot. And as far as Ivan Drago goes...
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – It’s not Ivan... it’s Boris actually.
The World Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Go-D – Shut up Pezzer. He should have been Ivan. He gave Rocky a hell of a fight. No, I’m out here because these tools were given the opportunity of a lifetime. One of these jobbers is going to earn the right, no I take that back; the privilege to face me next Monday night for this.
[ And he taps the World title belt in-front of him. ]
Mike Godwinn – Which leads me to my next question. There has been a buzz backstage that Shane McMahon has been handpicking your opponents so that you can hold onto that World title for as long as you can. That Shane knows that the moment you have to face someone like Tank, or Stone or maybe Tito; that you won’t be able to beat them. What are your thoughts on those rumors?
[ Go-D peels off his sunglasses and looks Mike dead in the eyes. ]
The World Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Go-D – Ask me that question one more time and I’ll come across this desk and show you exactly why I am the World Heavyweight Champion of the Empire!!!
[ Pezzer slides his chair back not wanting to get in Go-D’s way. Go-D turns to Pezzer. ]
The World Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Go-D – Don’t be a bitch you Bullet Club suck-ass.
[ Pezzer stutters... ]
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – I’m not a suck-ass, I’m... I’m an honorary member.
The World Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Go-D – Travis Blakes bitch.

Mike Godwinn – Tony Tran walked right into the Iron Curtain after getting hit with that back body drop that planted Tran right on his neck and shoulder. Boris was just too much for him tonight and it is Boris Drago that will now move on to face you Go-D Monday night.
The World Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Go-D – If you’ll excuse me, I have business to attend to.
[ Go-D stands up and grabs his title belt heading toward the ring. He slowly climbs the steps and glares at Boris from the ring apron. ]
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – I thought he would never leave. It took every ounce of my being not to punch that guy in the dick.
[ Go-D steps into the ring and marches right up to Drago and raises the World title over his head egging Drago to take a shot!!! The referee comes between them and forces them apart. Go-D starts to walk away, but then explodes back at Boris and drives the World title belt right across his head busting him wide open and knocking him out cold!!! Go-D stands over Drago raising his World title high in the air as the boos reign down on him. ]
Mike Godwinn – What a vicious shot right to the head by Go-D that just laid out his challenger for his World title. When Boris wakes up, he’s going to be pretty pissed off. Folks, let’s take it to the back as Cindy Meyers is standing by with one of the teams that will take part in the eight women tag team match. Cindy, take it away.
[ The show cuts to the back where we see Cindy Meyers standing by with Thunder Rosa, Holidead, Loca and Delta. ]
Cindy Meyers – Ladies, we just learned tonight that the four of you are going to have to team up to face Su Yim, Maria Manic, Bloody Mary and Havok at All Hallows Evil in what should be a great match.
[ Thunder Rosa takes the mic from Cindy. ]
Thunder Rosa – A great match you say? A great match for us, but not for those four idiots. Does Gail Kim really think that by putting those little girls together that they can stop us? Caged Heat and the Twisted SisterZ are well oiled machines!!! We are two of the best tag teams on the entire roster!!! What do any of them bring to the table?
[ Holidead takes the mic. ]
Holidead – Let me tell you something. We revel in the idea that we get to team up for one night. We revel in the idea that we get to beat the ever-loving hell out of each and every one of you at the pay per view. We revel in the idea that we will prove to you that we are the dominant species on the women’s roster!!!
[ Delta takes the mic and looks dead eyed into the camera. ]
Delta – Havok, I don’t care about anyone else in this match. There’s only one person I want and that’s you. There’s only one thing that I want to do, is break your leg so that you’ll never wrestle in the Empire again!!! Do yourself a favor girl, don’t walk into my ring because you won’t ever walk out!!!
[ Delta hands the mic to Loca. ]
Loca – Let me spell it out for you kids. When the four of you walk into that pay per view next Sunday night, you’ll be walking right into a buzz saw!!! We will not show any mercy on you and we will not...
[ Just then... Su Yim, Havok, Bloody Mary and Maria Manic explode onto the set and all hell breaks loose as a massive brawl erupts. Gail Kim rushes onto the scene with a dozen security guards trying to break them apart. The show cuts back to Mike and Pezzer at the announcers table. ]
Mike Godwinn – If there is one match that might steal the show at the pay per view it just might be this match Pezzer. These eight women have been fired up for weeks now and it’s boiled over.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – I say let them go and see who walks away on top when the dust settles.
Mike Godwinn – Folks, it’s time for tonight’s main event as Chandler Hopkins takes on the former World Heavyweight Champion Prophet. If Hopkins wins, he will earn his freedom from the Prophecy. If he loses, he becomes Prophets indentured servant!!! Let’s go back to the ring one last time!!!
The Main Event
Prophet vs Chandler Hopkins
“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 weighing in at 227 lbs., he is “The Chosen One”!!! “The Modern-Day Messiah”!!! This... is… Prophet!!!
[ The crowd goes ape-shit booing as the arena goes dark and pyro explodes before “The Power of I and I” by Shadows Fall explodes across the arena. The red spotlight beams down to the center of the stage where Prophet stands, arms out wide and his book in hand. He walks down to the ring and climbs in posing for his fans as a red spotlight beam’s down on him. ]
Mike Godwinn – Here comes the former World Champion as he enters this match with a very good eleven and six record and he has one of the best win totals amongst all the men on the roster. The only men ahead of him are Tito Escobar and the man ahead of him tonight in Chandler Hopkins.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – If you think about his wins, most of them came early on this year when he was taking on pretty much everyone to get within striking distance of the World title. Since then, he’s not been that great in my opinion. He needs to get that hunger back that he had before beating Stone for the World title months ago.
“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – And his opponent. Making his way to the ring weighing in at 185 lbs.; he is “The Outlaw” Chandler Hopkins!!!
[ The Texas Cowboy struts out on stage as “The Rodeo Theme” by Chandler Hopkins and Magnificent Malico rocks the arena. The crowd gives him a mixed reaction as he walks down to the ring and climbs in. ]
Mike Godwinn – And here comes the challenger. As we said, Hopkins comes into this match with a record high thirteen wins and nine losses. Tonight, will mark his twenty-third match here in the Empire and that’s tops for any man or woman on either roster. This kid, like him or hate him; has been a work horse.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Hopkins has been all over the board these past few months. He started off as a fan favorite and then hit a speed bump which made him think that he needed to turn to the dark side. But that didn’t work out either and now he wants to change his way of thinking again and try something different. If he gets through this match tonight, he’s going to have to figure his shit out and decide what way he wants to go and stick with it.

Epilogue
[ A security camera footage opens on Lance Storm and Mike Sanders in their locker room just talking. The screen splits and we see Travis Blake walking in the parking garage, the screen splits again and we see Go-D working out alone in the arena gym, another screen comes up and we see The New Regime eating noodles in the catering area. The screens slowly go black one by one. ]
[ They come on one by one, the Thrillers are suddenly laid out, Travis Blake and Go-D are staring in terror at something in front of them and the new Regime looks covered in blood. The camera zooms in the Thrillers locker and we see a message written in blood, Travis Blake is staring at Dick Togo crucified on his car bearing the same message written on him, Go-D is staring at a smashed mirror with reveals the same message and the camera pulls back and we see the entire floor of catering reads the giant message the same as everyone else's. ]
THIS ENDS WHEN I SAY IT DOES!!!!
[ The screens go blank and comes back full screen on Shane McMahon in a bathroom brushing his teeth. The screen goes black again and he's suddenly surrounded by four figures in black coats. He gets a terrified look and lets out a scream and the screen goes black. ]
To be continued...
Live from the sold-out Bell Arena in Denver, Colorado
Thursday Night October 21st, 2021
8:00pm EST
[ The shows opens with the Titantron showing the Empires new promo video package with all the stars of the Empire like Alexander Stone hitting his Stonebreaker, Tank Edge locking on his Recliner, Amber Nova punishing someone with her Nova Driver Travis Blake nailing someone with the Weapon X!!! We see the Bullet Club led by Travis Blake blasts across the big screen as well as Go-D leading his Legacy team. The music of "Till I Collapse" by Eminem echoing 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 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. Buddy, I have to ask you; how are you feeling after that brutal assault by Godzilla Sanchez right here last week where he assaulted you with a steel chair right here at the announcer’s desk.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – How am I feeling? I feel like climbing into that ring and beating the living shit out of that little A-hole myself. He’s got no idea who he’s messing with. I’m an honorary member of the Bullet Club and I’ve got the tee-shirt to prove it. Mark my words, I will get my revenge on that little rat bastard. Come hell or high water, I will beat him within an inch of his life. I’m going to skin him alive and crucify him right in the middle of that very ring!!! He’s got no clue who he fucked with!!!
Mike Godwinn – Easy buddy, you just recovered from a very serious concussion. Let’s not get too stressed out. Let me ask you though. How bad was that toilet you were handcuffed to?
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – It was the worst smelling situation I have ever been in. Massive Mike blew that toilet up at the worst possible moment. I could kill Godzilla for that.
Mike Godwinn – Folks, we have a huge night of action lined up for you and it all builds toward tonight’s main event where Prophet has challenged Chandler Hopkins in which if Hopkins loses, he will have earned his freedom from the Prophecy. But if he loses tonight, Hopkins will be forever indentured to Prophet.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Hopkins wants out of the Prophecy? He’s going to have to go through the Modern-day Messiah himself to get there and that’s not going to be an easy task. The Chosen One is a former World Heavyweight Champion and Hopkins isn’t even in this man’s league. I hope Hopkins likes being Prophets “Young Boy” for the rest of his career.
Mike Godwinn – Another huge match we will see tonight is the Number One Contenders match where Shane McMahon has hand picked Tony Tran to take on Boris Drago where the winner will move on to Adrenaline next week to face Go-D for the title. Honestly, this smells like a big pile of shit to me.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – The only thing that Shane said Monday night that had an ounce of truth to it was that neither of these men have wrestled for the World title yet since the relaunch. But that’s because they both suck and don’t deserve a title match. These guys are the lowest ranked wrestlers on the roster. How in the hell does that earn either of them a title shot is beyond me!!! Let’s feed Go-D more jobbers and pad his record for Christ sakes.
Mike Godwinn – In another Number One Contenders match, we will see the top four tag teams go at it for a shot at the New Regime right here next week on Adrenaline. The Zealots will face the Lynch Mob, Legacy and the Guerillas of Destiny. Eight men in the ring but only two will walk out with the contract.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – As much as I hated the Tony Tran versus Boris Drago match, I absolutely love this tag team match. What better way to crown the top challenger to the New Regime’s titles than to have a Fatal Four-way match. This match is going to blow the roof off the place.
Mike Godwinn – But we’re not done yet. A third Number One Contenders match will feature Ace Sky taking on Marc Fulton for the right to face DDP for his TV title at All Hallows Evil!!!
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – The power of Marc Fulton versus the ariel assault of Ace Sky. You can’t get a more contrast of styles than what these two men are going to bring to the ring tonight. I am sure Page is going to be watching this match very closely.
Mike Godwinn – Another match that I am going to be personally watching very closely is the match between Kiera Hogan and Shanna Furguson. These two women are ranked two and three for Amber Nova’s Women’s World title. You have to believe that whoever wins this match will be getting the next title shot at the pay per view.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – The twenty-six-year-old Kiera Hogan taking on the forty-five-year-old Shanna Furguson. It’s MMA versus Sports Entertainment at its best. Kiera Hogan has had one World title shot and she won the match by disqualification. She would love to get another shot at whoever has the belt, but first she must face a woman that is a wrestling machine. Shanna has been dipping her toes in the title pool since the Empire reopened. She was the first ever Women’s National champion, a title that she held for fifty-six days. She knows what it’s going to take to recapture the title and right now, Kiera stands in her way. What a match!!!
Mike Godwinn – We are also going to see the debut of the brand-new superstar just added to the roster this past Monday in Massive Mike as he takes on STIXX. This gentleman stands six-foot three and tops four hundred and fifty-five pounds!!! He just topped Babba Ali as the heaviest man on the roster. What a massive signing for the Empire as the roster continues to build.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – I didn’t know much about this guy so I had to Wiki him and come to find out he aint nothen special. College drop-out turned backyard wrestler. He thinks he’s a fat Nick Gage or some shit. And his ass sticks as hell too. Next time a courtesy flush wouldn’t kill yeah.
Mike Godwinn – Folks, if you think that’s all we had planned for tonight you would be wrong. We are going to kick things off tonight with a six-woman tag team match where Lady Edge is going to team with Malia Hosaka and Millie McKenzie taking on Amber Nova and her Mean Girls!!! What a way to kick off tonight’s show!!!
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – This is a huge prelude to the pay per view where we are going to see Lady Edge teaming with Malia Hosaka as they take on the Mean Girls and later in the night Millie McKenzie will challenge Amber Nova once again for the Women’s World title.
Mike Godwinn – Folks, we are not going to waste any more time. Let’s go to the ring and get right to the action!!!
The opening match
Lady Edge, Malia Hosaka and Millie McKenzie vs Amber Nova © and The Mean Girls
“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – The following six-women tag team match is set for one fall with a twenty-minute time limit!!! Making her way to the ring, weighing in at 122 lbs; this is... Lady Edge!!!
[ The crowd explodes to their feet cheering as “Ruby Soho” by Rancid explodes across the arena and the Empire legend Lady Edge storms out onto the stage with a determined look on her face!!! She powerwalks down to the ring and climbs in ripping off her jacket and pumping the crowd up as she stands on the second turnbuckle. ]
Mike Godwinn – Lady Edge had a brutal match at Stable Wars where she found herself not only on the losing end, but also found herself being strangled by Amber Nova as she used a camera cable to nearly choke her to death. Tonight, she comes back and gets a chance to get her hands on Amber once again.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Let me clue you in on something, Lady Edge isn’t here for the title belts that Amber Nova holds very close to her breasts. No, Lady Edge is here to shut Amber up once and for all for thinking that she’s better than all the great women’s wrestlers that came before her. She’s here to knock Amber off her high horse.
“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – And her tag team partner. Making her way to the ring, weighing in at 130 lbs., this is… Malia Hosaka!!!
[ The crowd boos their asses off as “Head like a hole” by Nine Inch Nails plays. Malia Hosaka walks down to the ring and climb in all alone. ]
Mike Godwinn – Malia Hosaka is coming off a disappointing loss Monday night to Maria Manic when she left the ring to confront the Mean Girls and Amber Nova and that opened the door for Twisted SisterZ to brutally attack Maria Manic. Thanks to the intervention of Su Yim, she saved her Maria from getting seriously hurt.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Talk about chaos right now in the Women’s division. I bet you a hundred bucks Gail Kim never thought it was going to be this tough managing this roster full of crazies!!! These women are PMSing all the damn time.
“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – And their tag team partner. Making her way to the ring weighing in at 128 lbs.; she is… “The 2021 Queen of the Ring” Millie McKenzie!!!
[ "The Enemy" by The Commonjets rocks the arena as Millie walks out on stage. She walks down to the ring and climbs in as the crowd gives her a standing ovation!!! ]
Mike Godwinn – Listen to the crowd Pezzer, they love her. At All Hallows Evil she will get another shot at dethroning Amber Nova and take the Women’s World title from her. A task that has been accomplished by only one other woman and that was Bloody Mary back at Day of Reckoning.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Yeah, and a title that Amber quickly got back when she defeated Bloody Mary the very next month all Eve of Destruction. Let’s face it. She’s the best in the game today. She stands at the top of the mountain with seventeen wins. She is the uncrowned Empress of the Empire in my book.
“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – And their opponents. Making their way to the ring being accompanied by Paul Heyman; they weigh in at a combined weight of 365 lbs., this is the two-time Women’s World Champion and the current Women’s National Champion Amber Nova and The Mean Girls!!!
[ The crowd boos their asses off as “Creepy” plays over the crowd noise. The Women’s World Champion Amber Nova struts out showing off her Women’s World title belt followed by her manager Paul Heyman who cradles the Women’s National title in his hands along with her new found besties, the Mean Girls following close behind them. She flaunts herself off as she struts down to the ring and climbs in raising both titles high overhead. The Mean Girls follow Amber wherever she goes like two little schoolgirls. ]
Mike Godwinn – Nobody can question the wrestling ability of Amber Nova. Since the Empire reopened back on January eleventh, she has only lost four singles matches. Think about that for a minute. That’s a monumental statistic like her or not.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – We all know how good she is. She reminds us all the time. Maybe if she was just slightly humbler about it, people like Lady Edge wouldn’t want to kick her ass so much.
[ Lady Edge and Cassie Lee start the match off as the bell rings and they lock up. Lady Edge hits an Exploder suplex into the turnbuckles on Cassie Lee. Lady Edge drives a corner forearm smash onto Cassie Lee. Lady Edge attempts a springboard spear, but Cassie Lee counters it with a kneelift to the face.

Millie McKenzie and Lady Edge hit Cassie Lee with a double diving elbowdrop. Lady Edge leaves the ring. Millie McKenzie drives a dropkick to the knee of Cassie Lee. Millie McKenzie covers Cassie Lee as Todd Sinclair counts ...1 ...2 ...and Cassie kicks out!!! ]
Mike Godwinn – Lady Edge started off hot tonight. You can tell she still has a ton of pent-up anger towards the Mean Girls and Amber Nova!!!
[ Millie McKenzie complains to the referee about a slow count. Millie McKenzie climbs to the top rope and nails Cassie Lee with the Phoenix Splash!!! Millie rolls Cassie up as Todd Sinclair counts ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ ...and Cassie kicks out!!! ]
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Beautiful Phoenix Splash by Millie nearly got her the win but Cassie just barely kicked out in time.

[ The show cuts to the back where Cindy Meyers is standing next to a very well-dressed Tony Tran in a three-piece suit and fancy shoes on.
Cindy Meyers – Tony, tonight you have to face Boris Drago in a Number One Contendership match where the winner will advance to Adrenaline next Monday night to face Go-D for the World title. Are you ready for what Boris might bring to the match?
[ Tony smiles at that question. ]
“The Million Dollar Man” Tony Tran – Am I ready? You do know who you are talking to, right? I am “The Million Dollar Man”. I held the Emperors Crown title until I was falsely striped of it!!! It is my destiny to beat Go-D and become the World Heavyweight Champion.
Cindy Meyers – Some people are saying that the only reason that you and Boris were chosen for this match is because whomever wins will be a rather easy mark for Go-D to beat next Monday night. Your thoughts on those comments.
“The Million Dollar Man” Tony Tran – Easy mark? Who makes this shit up? I’m Tony Tran. I was best friends with the owner of this company!!! He was the one that crowned me “The Million Dollar Man”. I was one half of the greatest tag team to ever exist in “The Untouchables”.
[ Cindy crinkles her nose and nods her head in confusion. ]
“The Million Dollar Man” Tony Tran – What? You never heard of the Untouchables? “The Million Dollar Man” Tony Tran and “Hollywood” Helms!!! We won the Smackdown Tag Team titles back in 2003!!!
[ She still nods her head no... ]
Cindy Meyers – I’m sorry, I was five years old then.
[ Tran looks irritated. ]
“The Million Dollar Man” Tony Tran – Fucking kids. Just take my word on it that it was epic!!! Listen, I don’t care what people say about why Shane and Mark picked me. All I care about is getting past Drago tonight and beating the holy snot out of Go-D Monday night and ripping my title... my belt out of his cold, lifeless hands. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have a match to prepare for.
[ The show cuts back to Pezzer and Mike at the announcers table. ]
Mike Godwinn – Pezzer seems pretty confident tonight as he flashes back to days gone by to try and boost his confidence. I remember the Untouchables. They were a pretty damn good team, but I would not say that they were the best ever like he claims. There are a number of teams on today’s roster that would love to challenge that claim.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Not a huge fan of Tran, but what would you expect him to do? Tell everyone that he’s a basket of nerves right now? That’ he’s been stuck in the bathroom shitting his pants ever since Shane announced this match? Of course, he’s nervous, but he’s not going to tip his hand tonight and give Boris and momentum.
Mike Godwinn – Folks, it’s time for our next big match of the night and it comes from the Women’s division as Kiera Hogan and Shanna Furguson collide in a match of two of the top three women on the roster.

“The Living Legend” Pezzer – This is going to be a great match between two very different styles. Shanna is much more of a grounded mat technician using her MMA skills.

Time of match: 0:10:19
“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – The winner of this match by pinfall, Kiera Hogan!!!
Mike Godwinn – Great win for Kiera tonight as she overcame a massively talented opponent in Shanna Furguson. This young lady is going to be a huge part of this company for years to come. Amber, Millie; watch your backs because Kiera Hogan is coming for both of you!!!
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Looking back at this match I really think the biggest mistake that Shanna made was that she let Kiera hang around. A talent like Kiera you need to put away early. You let her hang around it just gives her hope. Hope can be a killer out there.
Mike Godwinn – Folks, our very own Cindy Meyers is outside of Massive Mike’s dressing room as we are about to get our first appearance of the newest free agent. Let’s head to the back.
[ Cindy Meyers and a cameraman are standing outside a locker room door. Within a couple moments Massive Mike makes his way out of the room. ]
Massive Mike - Ready?
Cindy Meyers - First off, I’d like to welcome you Massive Mike into The Empire. Now before we begin, most of your experience has come from backyard wrestling, so this will be your first time competing in the big leagues, correct?
Massive Mike - Yeah, my experience has come from backyard wrestling but it was only a matter of time before I stepped into a ring like this. Did you get the clips I sent earlier today? Mind playing them for the audience?
[ Cindy Meyers nods her head, and the screen fades into a black screen. The first clip starts to air. It shows a ring set up in a small backyard type setting. The clip begins with Massive Mike setting up a slender male wrestler half his size against a table propped up on the corner turnbuckle. Massive Mike maneuvers himself backwards until his back touches the opposite corner. Massive Mike dashes toward the wrestler and just as he's a few feet away, Massive Mike leaps into the air and body slams into the wrestler causing the table to smash in half. Massive Mike steps back and begins to laugh as he looks down at his work.
The clip changes to the start of a match between Massive Mike and a large man in the same weight class. The clip quickly changes to what appears to be the end of the match. Massive Mike is full of adrenaline and the large man appearing to be worn out struggling to keep himself on his two feet. Massive Mike delivers a kick to the man's gut. Massive Mike reaches forward, uses his strength and lifts the large man off his feet for a moment before slamming him back down with a powerbomb. Massive Mike drags the man near the corner turnbuckle. Massive Mike climbs to the top of the turnbuckle, bounces a few times before he leaps into the air and crashes his massive backside onto the large man's chest executing his signature Atomic Squash (Banzai Drop). The referee starts to count the pin. ...1 ...2 ...3!!! The bell rings.
The clip changes once more. This time another heavyset wrestler is sitting in the corner and appears to be exhausted and in a daze. Within a few moments Massive Mike makes his way over toward the corner, turns himself around and places his ass directly on the wrestler's face executing his signature Gas Chamber (the Stink-face) The wrestler attempts to push him off but doesn't appear to have any strength left. He has no choice but to tap against the Mat. However Massive Mike doesn't let up right away. Rather he continues to humiliate his opponent. The referee attempts to pull Massive Mike off the wrestler but the referee doesn't have the strength to remove Massive Mike from his hold. Massive Mike has a huge grin from ear to ear as he continues his punishment, suddenly the screen cuts out into a black screen.
[ Massive Mike stares into the camera just smiling. ]
Massive Mike - I can't say much since it's only my first night here, so I wanted to give the audience a preview of what they are in for. Tonight, I'm up against STIXX and I plan on making a good first impression.
[ Massive Mike continues smiling at the camera for a moment before he makes his way back into his own locker room. The scene cuts across the arena as we see Mike Thompson and Chris Simmons backstage somewhere. ]
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – So tonight, in someone’s infinite wisdom; Legacy has to take part in a Fatal Four-way match to face the New Regime for the World Tag Team titles. As much as we love beating the hell out of our competition, I have to ask why the hell aren’t we getting our rematch? Why do we have to jump through hoops to get what we contractually deserve?
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – Shane, Mark; I don’t know which one of you are behind this; but we want answers. We are Legacy God damn-it!!! We don’t work for the Empire... we are the Empire!!!
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – It seems pretty damn funny that Go-D gets catered to around here. He gets to face one of the bottom two men on the roster in his title defense? Are you shitting me?
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – You want us to go out there and take back what’s ours? Fine. Have it your way. But when the smoke clears and the body count rises, don’t say we didn’t warn you!!!
[ They storm off the set as the show swings back to Mike and Pezzer at ringside. ]
Mike Godwinn – It seems there is a crack forming within Legacy Pezzer. The former tag team champions feel strongly that they deserve a title rematch and that Go-D is being catered to, as they said.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Go-D is absolutely being catered to. Shane knows who brings the money in and that’s the World Champion. Shane will do anything to keep the title within Legacy. Go-D equals money, plain and simple.
Mike Godwinn – Folks, it’s time for this huge fatal four-way tag team match where the winner moves on to Monday night to take on the New Regime for the straps. Four teams come into this match, but only one can claim the contract. Let’s get right to the action!!! JoJo take it away partner.
World Tag Team Title #1 Contendership match
The Zealots vs The Guerillas of Destiny vs The Lynch Mob vs Legacy
“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – The following Fatal Four-way tag team match is set for one fall with a twenty-minute time limit and it is for the Number One Contendership for the World Tag Team titles. Making their way to the ring accompanied by Salena, they weigh in at a combined weight of 433 lbs.; Joey and Matt Lynch along with Mance Warner; they are… The Lynch Mob!!
[ A mixture of cheers and boos ring out as “War” by Lynch Mob explodes across the stadium as the two brawling brothers march out on stage followed by their friend Mance Warner and Salena holding hands as they walk out on stage. The Lynch Mob tell Mance and Salena that they have to go to the back and Mance doesn’t understand why. The Lynch Mob tell them to stay put as they make their way down to the ring and climb in posing in the corners. ]
Mike Godwinn – We watched Monday night when the Lynch Mob told Mance that they were not going to put up with Salena anymore. That they didn’t like her and they will never trust her. But yet Mance still chose to bring Salena out on stage. For that, Matt and Joey gave them both the boot.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – The Lynch Mob have a huge match tonight and they don’t need to be distracted by that two-timing tramp Salena. If they are going to win this thing tonight, they need to stay focused and stay on point.
“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – And their opponents. Making their way to the ring, weighing in at a combined weight of 433 lbs and being accompanied by “The Modern-day Messiah” “The Chosen One” Prophet; they are Painkiller and Insanity, they are… the Zealots!!!
[ The crowd goes ape-shit booing as the arena goes dark and pyro explodes before “The Power of I and I” by Shadows Fall explodes across the arena. The red spotlight beams down to the center of the stage where the Zealots, Painkiller and Insanity along with Prophet stand center stage. The sold-out crowd boos their asses off as the three men walk down to the ring and climb in. ]
Mike Godwinn – The Zealots come down to the ring with the former World Heavyweight Champion by their side. They walk into this match as the number one contender based on record alone as they have yet to be defeated as a tag team.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – These two crazed individuals have dominated everyone they have faced right from the onset. It wouldn’t shock me one bit if they walk out of this match tonight with a date with the New Regime Monday night.
“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 being accompanied by Paul Heyman, weighing in at a combined weight of 439 lbs., they are two-thirds of the World Six-man Tag Team Champions, Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa; they are… the Guerillas of Destiny!!
[ The sold-out crowd goes nuts booing as “The Firing Squad” by No Name Tim rocks the arena as the two Samoan warrior’s storm down to the ring and dive under the bottom rope in unison popping to their feet and posing on the ropes with their World Six-man tag team titles raised high over-head as Heyman stays on the floor. ]
Mike Godwinn – The reigning World Six-man Tag Team Champions make their way to the ring tonight minus Travis Blake. It would make a hell of a story if they move on to Monday night and became both World Tag Team Champions again and World Six-man Tag Team Champions.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – These two men have been the cornerstones of not one but two great stables in the Empire as they were a part of both the Gold Standard and now the Bullet Club. You can’t mention either stable without talking about the Guerillas.
“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – And their opponents. Making their way to the ring, weighing in at a combined weight of 467 lbs., “The Messiah” Chris Simmons and “Crazy Man” Mike Thompson, they are… Legacy!!!
[ “Unforgiven” by Creed rocks the arena as Empire Hall of Famers Crazy Man and the Messiah walk out on stage to the roar of the sold-out crowd!!! As one, they march down to the ring and climb in never taking their eyes off their opponents. ]
Mike Godwinn – Is it me or does it seem a little conspicuous that Go-D is not out here tonight with his teammates? These guys have been as thick as thieves since forming Legacy. What is going on within this group?
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Legacy represents the Empire’s past and all the great superstars that built this company. The problem is, it also represents all the shitty things that happened to this company. The ego trips. The in-fighting. The backstabbing. The favoritism. Everything that ruined the Empire. It’s a fine line Legacy is walking right now.

“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – The winners of this match by pinfall, Legacy!!!
Mike Godwinn – What an amazing finish to this match as we now know who will be facing the New Regime next week on Adrenaline for the World Tag Team titles!!!
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – The wrestling gods surely shined down bright on Legacy tonight as Crazy Man pinned Joey Lynch of the Lynch Mob to advance on to the title match. Great showing by all four teams in this match as they were all deserving of a title shot in my book.
[ The crowd goes crazy booing as “Tubular Bells” by Mike Oldfield rocks the arena and the World Tag Team Champions the New Regime, Shinigami Shogun and Rasputin Ito; walk out followed by Kahagas. ]
Mike Godwinn – The World Tag Team Champions just walked out on stage and they are making a statement tonight showing Legacy that they do not fear them in the least.
[ Crazy Man and Messiah lean on the ropes begging for the New Regime to come down to the ring so that they can kick their asses. ]
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – You can egg these guys on all you want, but these two trained assassins are much smarter than that. They are going to face you guys on their own terms and that so happens to be Monday night!!!
Mike Godwinn – Folks, I am being told that the Women’s Division General Manager Gail Kim is standing by with Cindy Meyers.
[ The videotron comes on as it shows Gail Kim standing next to Cindy Meyers. ]
Cindy Meyers – Gail, we were told that you have asked for this time to make a big announcement regarding the upcoming All Hallows Evil pay per view?
The Women’s Division General Manager Gail Kim – That’s right. So, for the past few weeks we have all watched as Bloody Mary and Havok have been fighting with Caged Heat and the Twisted SisterZ have been feuding with Su Yim and Maria Manic. Since these women refuse to settle things themselves, I have decided to do it for them. At All Hallows Evil we are going to have an eight-women tag team match. On one side it is going to be Su Yim, Maria Manic, Bloody Mary and Havok and on the other side it’s going to be Twisted SisterZ and Caged Heat. Let the best team win!!!
[ The show swings to the office of Shane McMahon where we can see Shane sitting at his desk. The World Heavyweight Champion Go-D storms into the office dressed in a suit and tie. He slams the World title on the desk and glares down at Shane who slowly looks up at him. ]
The CEO of the Empire and Empire Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – What’s the matter?
The World Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Go-D – I want to know if it’s true?
The CEO of the Empire and Empire Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – Listen, I’m not in the mood tonight to play this game with you. Is what true?
The World Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Go-D – You know damn well what I am talking about. All the buzz in the back about you protecting me. Hand picking my opponents so that I don’t drop the belt!!!
The CEO of the Empire and Empire Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – Dave...
[ Go-D slams his fist on Shane’s desk. ]
The World Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Go-D – Damn-it Shane, tell me the fucking truth!!!
[ Shane stares at Go-D right in the eyes. ]
The CEO of the Empire and Empire Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – Have you ever watched Rocky III?
The World Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Go-D – Rocky III? What the hell does that have to do with this?
The CEO of the Empire and Empire Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – In that move Mickey admitted that all of Rocky’s title matches were handpicked opponents.
The World Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Go-D – So you’re saying that you’re handpicking my opponents for me? Why Shane?
The CEO of the Empire and Empire Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – Why Dave? Why am I protecting you? Why am I protecting that?
[ And Shane points at the World Heavyweight title. ]
The CEO of the Empire and Empire Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – Because that World Heavyweight title is as much as mine as it is yours. I have given the Empire everything. I split off and formed the WWCF because of the Empire. My blood is on that belt as much as yours is.
The World Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Go-D – I can beat anyone!!!
The CEO of the Empire and Empire Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – Really? Anyone? If it wasn’t for me, you would never have beaten Prophet!!!
The World Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Go-D – You’ve been behind everything?!
The CEO of the Empire and Empire Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – You’re damn straight I have been and I am going to continue pulling the strings Pinocchio because I write the checks that you and the rest of legacy love to cash.
The World Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Go-D – That’s why you picked Tony Tran and Boris Drago. You don’t think I can beat anyone else?
The CEO of the Empire and Empire Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – I think you were a great wrestler. There was a time that you were the best. I just think that this new generation has that hunger you don’t have. We can run this company, Dave. Don’t question my decisions ever again.
[ Go-d grabs his World title belt and storms out. Shane shakes his head and then pulls out his cell phone. The phone rings before the man on the other end picks up. ]
The CEO of the Empire and Empire Hall of Famer Shane McMahon – Kev, it’s me. Yeah, I think he’s going to be a problem. He’s figured it out. Yeah, come on back.
[ The show cuts back to Mike and Pezzer at the announcers table. ]
Mike Godwinn – Folks, our next match features the high flyer Ace Sky taking on Marc Fulton for the right to face DDP at the pay per view for the TV title. This match has been building up for a while now as it all started when Ace came to Fulton’s aid. They then teamed up to win a tag team match together, but Fulton again attacked him. That attack led to a one-on-one match where Ace Sky defeated Fulton in under two minutes. Now they meet again tonight with a title match on the line!!!
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Fulton has been busting his ass for months trying to get a title shot. Now this new kid thinks he can step up and cut the line? If I was Fulton, I would be pretty pissed off too.
Mike Godwinn – Folks, let’s go to the ring for the introductions!!! JoJo, take it away.
TV Title #1 Contendership match
Ace Sky vs Marc Fulton
“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – The following match is set for one fall with a twenty-minute time limit and it is for the Number One Contendership for the TV title. Making his way to the ring, weighing in at 318 lbs; this is… “The Madman” Marc Fulton!!!
[ Fulton’s video package and music plays as the crowd boos and the very pissed off big man storms down to the ring and steps over the top rope to get into the ring. ]
Mike Godwinn – Fulton comes into this match with a five and four record and is ranked fifth for the US title. He is due a title shot and by winning tonight he will have earned it.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – It’s stupid that he has to even wrestle this match against a guy that’s been here what, three weeks? This kid hasn’t even paid his dues yet and we are going to write him into a match?
“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – And his opponent. Making his way to the ring weighing in at 165 lbs, this is… Ace Sky!!!
[ The crowd pops as “Eye in the Sky” by Alan Parsons Project explodes across the arena as he walks down to the ring and climbs in. ]
Mike Godwinn – Let’s give Ace Sky credit. He’s done everything right so far as he comes into this match with a two and oh record and sits in the number one spot in the TV title rankings. Shane may be a prick, but he did pick the top two guys that really should get a shot at the TV title.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – I’m not questioning if they are the right guys based on where they are ranked. I am questioning if Ace Sky has earned his shot. He’s won two lousy matches Mike. Does two wins earn you a title shot? I don’t think so.
[ The sold-out crowd explodes in a chorus of boos as “It’s me. It’s me. It’s D… D… P!” rocks the arena and the WWE TV Champion Diamond Dallas Page struts out onto the stage. ]
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Tell me you didn’t invite this A-hole out here?
Mike Godwinn – He’s a Hall of Famer. I think he can go anywhere he wants to go.
[ Page walks down to the ring and makes his way over to the announcers desk grabbing a headset and sitting down next to Mike. ]
Mike Godwinn – Champ, welcome. I assume you are out here to scout the two men that you might face at the upcoming pay per view?
The W.W.E. Television Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Diamond Dallas Page – Yeah, I thought it would be better than watching tape. Nothing beats an up close and personal view.
[ The bell rings and they lock up. Ace Sky drives a clothesline into Marc Fulton.

Ace Sky springs up to the top turnbuckle and hits a frog splash down onto Marc Fulton. Ace Sky rolls Fulton up as Joey Jiles counts ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ ...and Fulton gets his shoulder up!!! ]
Mike Godwinn – The quickness of Ace Sky proved to be an issue for Fulton in their first match and again tonight you can see where it’s frustrating the big man.
The W.W.E. Television Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Diamond Dallas Page – The kid is as quick as a cat. But if Fulton can connect with those catcher mite sized hands of his it’s going to be hell to pay for Sky.
[ Ace Sky springs up to the top turnbuckle again and leaps off connecting with a 450 splash onto Marc Fulton. Ace rolls Fulton up as Joey Jiles counts ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ ...and Fulton kicks out!!! ]
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Another top rope high risk move by Sky is keeping Fulton grounded. That’s a smart thing for this kid to keep the big man off his feet!!!
The W.W.E. Television Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Diamond Dallas Page – Fulton can’t hurt you from his knees or while he’s on his back. This is the same way I would approach him.
[ Ace Sky locks on a Boston crab on Marc Fulton. Marc Fulton powers up and walks on his hands toward the ropes. Marc Fulton reaches out and grabs ahold of the ropes.

Mike Godwinn – Marc Fulton can get any offense going tonight. The speed and quickness of Ace Skye has the big man discombobulated!!!

“The Living Legend” Pezzer – That elbow shot by Fulton is like being hit by a mac truck. Ace’s head snapped back like it was a bobble head!!!
The W.W.E. Television Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Diamond Dallas Page – This kid’ s got arms like tree limbs!!! The last thing that you want to do is to get hit by one!!!
[ Marc Fulton loses his shit and gets a boot choke against the ropes on Ace Sky. Joey Jiles warns Marc Fulton to let go as he counts ...1 ...2 ...3 ...4 ...and Fulton finally lets go before getting disqualified. ]
Mike Godwinn – Fulton has deep anger issues and if Sky can take advantage of that Fulton will do something stupid and that will open the door for Sky to take advantage of it.
The W.W.E. Television Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Diamond Dallas Page – I agree with you Mike. When Fulton gets angry, he tends to stop thinking straight and that leads to mistakes. Mistakes that this kid can take advantage of.
[ Marc Fulton hits a belly-to-back suplex on Ace Sky. Marc Fulton kicks Ace Sky. Marc Fulton punches Ace Sky. Ace Sky chops Marc Fulton. Ace Sky kicks Marc Fulton. Marc Fulton punches Ace Sky. Marc Fulton drives a clothesline into Ace Sky that spins Sky inside out. Marc Fulton is going for the pin as Joey Jiles counts ...1 ...2 ...2 ½ ...and Ace gets his shoulder up!!! ]
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – What a massive clothesline by Fulton who just turned Ace inside out and dropped the kid on the back of his neck!!!
The W.W.E. Television Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Diamond Dallas Page – That could be a crippling move for the kid as not only did he take the full brunt of that clothesline, but he landed awkwardly on the back of his neck and shoulder.

The W.W.E. Television Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Diamond Dallas Page – The kid’s got guts I give him that, but he needs to find a way to put Fulton away. The longer this match goes the more it favors Fulton and his power game.

“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Ace Sky thought he had Fulton on the ropes, but as he dove through the ropes Fulton caught him and drove him back first into the ring apron.
The W.W.E. Television Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Diamond Dallas Page – This kid lives and dies by these high-risk high payoff moves. The problem with that is it usually takes a number of them to equal one power move by Fulton.

Marc Fulton is inching his way towards the ropes and finally grabs ahold of the ropes. Ace Sky leaps to the top turnbuckle and hits the Galaxy Leap (Shooting Star Press) on Marc Fulton!!!

The W.W.E. Television Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Diamond Dallas Page – You better be ready boy because you don’t want no part of this!!!
[ The show cuts to the back where we see Cindy Meyers standing next to Alexander Stone. ]
Cindy Meyers – Alex, first off welcome back to the Empire after your two-month layoff due to injuries that you suffered at the hands of Travis Blake and your former teammates in Amber Nova and the Guerillas of Destiny.
“Pure Gold” Alexander Stone – Thanks Cindy. Feeling good to get back in the gym and get a good workout in.
Cindy Meyers – Sitting at home for all that time, how did you handle it after your former Gold Standard members attacked you, turning their backs on you and siding with Travis forming the Bullet Club?
[ Stone nods his head. ]
“Pure Gold” Alexander Stone – Yeah, that’s a great question. I really thought that the Gold Standard was going to rule the Empire for years. We had so many plans. So many things that we wanted to accomplish together and individually. I really thought that we were all on the same page. I guess I was wrong.
Cindy Meyers – I would think that Amber Nova turning on you was the most difficult pill to swallow? It has been widely rumored that you and the Women’s Champion were involved in a relationship prior to her attacking you in the ring that night. Is there any truth to that?
[ Stone grins and brushes his hair out of his face. ]
“Pure Gold” Alexander Stone – Amber and I had a very intense relationship, but that’s as far as I want to go with that. I would like to keep my personal life personal. No matter what she did to me in the ring, I respect her enough to keep what we did or didn’t do behind closed doors to myself. All the speculators can just keep speculating.
Cindy Meyers – Travis Blake was the mastermind behind the attack and he takes pride in destroying the Gold Standard and putting you on the shelf. What are your feelings right now in regards to the new United States Heavyweight Champion?
“Pure Gold” Alexander Stone – Travis Blake is a pretty smart kid. He saw a crack forming inside the Gold Standard and he blew it wide open. Honestly, I don’t blame Travis for anything. I have had months to sit at home and digest what happened and honestly, I blame myself. I should have been a better leader. I should have been a better teammate. I should have listened more instead of being single minded. All that is on me. But let me be perfectly clear. I have not forgotten what they did to me and I will get my hands on each and every one of them before this is over. One by one I will rip the Bullet Club apart with my bare hands. Travis Blake, you have no idea what kind of shit storm you’re walking in to. You call yourself “The Face of the Empire”? Well, I’m going to rip your face off!!! Boy, you’ve taken just about everything from me and I’ve got nothing left to lose!!! I am willing to put everything on the line to tear your house down!!!
Cindy Meyers – Alex, to change topics for a minute; you have been selected to participate in the “Trick or Treat” match at All Hallows Evil in just over a week from now. Four men will walk into that match and there are only three cases with contracts in them. One of you four will be fired by the end of the match. Whomever doesn’t get a case will be escorted out of the building immediately and will be fired!!!
“Pure Gold” Alexander Stone – Lucky me, right? I’m gone for two months and I get tossed right into the middle of this shit storm right off the bat? Yeah, there’s a pretty good chance that I could get fired by the end of the night. Hell, just look at the guys in this match and it’s a head scratcher that we could lose one of the top superstars in the Empire. But I can’t focus on that right now. I have to look at it that there are three cases hanging there with contracts in them. My job at All Hallows Evil is to grab one of them and keep my job. At this point, I really don’t care what contract I get. Job security is number one in my book.
Cindy Meyers – Two of them men in this match you know pretty well in Prophet and Tito Escobar. The other man in this match is Godzilla Sanchez. Are you looking to form any sort of alliance with Godzilla to even the odds against those two men that you know are going to team up against each of you?
[ Stone smiles. ]
“Pure Gold” Alexander Stone – Team up with Godzilla? I don’t know if that’s going to happen, but I do wanna ask him where the fuck is my tee-shirt? I went on EMPIRESHOP.COM and I don’t see any of Stone’s tee-shirts!!! Ask him where my tee-shirt is. Maybe if he gets me a tee-shirt, I’ll watch his back out there.
Cindy Meyers – That’s funny Alex, and if I see Godzilla; I’ll be sure to ask him. Good luck at the pay per view.
“Pure Gold” Alexander Stone – Thanks Cindy.
Cindy Meyers – Guys, back to you.
[ The cameras cut back to Mike and Pezzer at the broadcast table. ]
Mike Godwinn – Pezzer, it’s always good to hear from Alexander Stone as he is focused on getting his hands on all the members of the Bullet Club that turned their backs on him; especially Travis Blake.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – What happened to Stone was a calculated assault that was weeks in the making. You can’t tell me that Amber wasn’t sleeping with the enemy while she was still sleeping with Stone. That shit’s just wrong. On the other hand, this is professional wrestling; and Stone should have known better than to think the Gold Standard was going to last forever!!! Even the Bullet Club is on the clock. Legendary stables like the nWo and Degeneration X all self-destructed at the end of the day.
Mike Godwinn – Folks, it’s time for our next match and this one is going to be a doozy as we are going to see the largest man in the Empire, Massive Mike take on STIXX!!!

Mike Godwinn – STIXX enters this match with a seven and twelve record and finds himself ranked fourth in the TV title rankings. STIXX may not be a top tier superstar, but he is also not a guy to be taken lightly either.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – One of these days STIXX is going to bust out and stun the world by beating one of these top guys and win gold. It may not be here in the Empire, but I promise; it will happen.
“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – And his opponent. Making his way to the ring weighing in at 455 lbs.; this is Massive Mike!!!
[ The crowd roars to their feet as “Baby Got Back” by Sir Mix a lot explodes through the PA system and the biggest man on the Empire roster walks out from the back. The crowd begins their chant... ]
The sold-out crowd – Mike!!! Mike!!! Mike!!!
Mike Godwinn – This young man has a hell of a following and he hasn’t even stepped into the ring yet.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – I never knew who he was either until I googled him and saw that he had almost a twenty thousand Twitter followers. This kid’s a big deal on the Indy scene and now he’s signed on with the Empire. Let’s see what he can do now that he’s in the major leagues.
[ The lights from everyone’s cell phones come on as every fan in the building wants to get a video of him as he walks down to the ring!!! Pyro explodes from the ring posts as he stands on the ring apron, his massive tree limb like arms held out wide. ]
Mike Godwinn – What a massive individual Pezzer. He is clearly the biggest man on the roster.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – This kid pushes four fifty easy, Mikey. The only other guy that had this much girth was Bulk and he’s not around anymore.

“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Both of these men are wearing masks and neither of them are afraid to try and expose each other’s face!!! It’s like they are intentionally targeting each other’s mask.
[ Massive Mike nails STIXX with a gutbuster. Massive Mike hits an atomic drop on STIXX. Massive Mike goes for a sleeperhold, but STIXX counters it with a jawbreaker. STIXX attempts an eye gouge through Massive Mike’s mask, but Massive Mike blocks it. Massive Mike kicks STIXX. Massive Mike punches STIXX.

“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – The winner of this match, Massive Mike!!!
Mike Godwinn – What a big win for this young man tonight in his first match here in the Empire. I can’t wait to see where his career is going to take him.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – I agree, it was a good win tonight and a great way to kick off his time here in the Empire; but let’s not crown him the World Champion yet like all these marks in the arena are. Yeah, he’s good, but it’s a long climb to the top of the mountain.
Mike Godwinn – Folks, I am being told that Psycho Messiah is standing by and he has a few words for our CEO Shane McMahon.
[ The show cuts to the bowels of the arena where we see Psycho Messiah pacing around like a mad man. ]
Psycho Messiah – Shane McMahon, in ten nights you and I will finally meet inside that ring and you will have no place to run, no place to hide and no friends to watch your back!!!
[ He raises his hands and balls them up into fists. ]
Psycho Messiah - I will finally be able to get my hands on you and make you feel all the pain and unbridled rage that has been building inside of me for months. You screwed me over at every turn and for what? Because I didn’t fit your idealistic personification of what an Empire superstar should be? That my appearance to you was nothing more than a circus freakshow!!! I am more than what I appear!!!
[ Psycho Messiah leans into the camera. ]
Psycho Messiah – At All Hallows Evil, I am going to rip out your heart from your chest and feed on it. I am going to rip your soul out and offer it to my God and in return I will be put back on the righteous path and reclaim what was taken from me and that is the Television title!!! In ten nights, Shane, you will meet your maker, and you will pay with everything you hold dear!!!
[ The show cuts back to Mike and Pezzer at the broadcast table. ]
Mike Godwinn – All I can say is wow. Psycho Messiah is amped up right now to the Nth degree. He’s like a rabid dog ready to rip Shane apart.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – If I know Shane, he’s not coming alone. He’s going to have the Thrillers watching his back and maybe Nash too. Psycho Messiah better be ready for a fight because Legacy will sure as hell will be.
Mike Godwinn – Folks, it’s time to crown a number one contender and see who is going to face Go-D next Monday night on Adrenaline!!!
[ The crowd roars to their feet booing as “Unforgiven” by Creed rocks the arena as the World Heavyweight Champion Go-D walks out on stage!!! ]
Mike Godwinn – It seems that we are not going to be alone tonight for this match.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Just great. Why not bring out the entire Legacy crew why don’t they?
Mike Godwinn – You going to keep that Bullet Club tee-shirt on?
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Of course I’m going to keep it on. I’m an honorary member.
Mike Godwinn – You’re a member alright.
[ Go-D sits down next to Mike and places his World title on the desk so that everyone can see the massive plate. He slowly puts on his headset, adjusting his sunglasses and takes a sip of water from his bottle. ]
Mike Godwinn – Champ, welcome to the broadcast table. Just like Page earlier, I assume you are out here to scout your competition?
The World Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Go-D – Scout my competition? Are you some kind of comedian? Nobody knows Tony Tran like I do so there’s no scouting this idiot. And as far as Ivan Drago goes...
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – It’s not Ivan... it’s Boris actually.
The World Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Go-D – Shut up Pezzer. He should have been Ivan. He gave Rocky a hell of a fight. No, I’m out here because these tools were given the opportunity of a lifetime. One of these jobbers is going to earn the right, no I take that back; the privilege to face me next Monday night for this.
[ And he taps the World title belt in-front of him. ]
Mike Godwinn – Which leads me to my next question. There has been a buzz backstage that Shane McMahon has been handpicking your opponents so that you can hold onto that World title for as long as you can. That Shane knows that the moment you have to face someone like Tank, or Stone or maybe Tito; that you won’t be able to beat them. What are your thoughts on those rumors?
[ Go-D peels off his sunglasses and looks Mike dead in the eyes. ]
The World Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Go-D – Ask me that question one more time and I’ll come across this desk and show you exactly why I am the World Heavyweight Champion of the Empire!!!
[ Pezzer slides his chair back not wanting to get in Go-D’s way. Go-D turns to Pezzer. ]
The World Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Go-D – Don’t be a bitch you Bullet Club suck-ass.
[ Pezzer stutters... ]
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – I’m not a suck-ass, I’m... I’m an honorary member.
The World Heavyweight Champion and Empire Hall of Famer Go-D – Travis Blakes bitch.

[ Thunder Rosa takes the mic from Cindy. ]
Thunder Rosa – A great match you say? A great match for us, but not for those four idiots. Does Gail Kim really think that by putting those little girls together that they can stop us? Caged Heat and the Twisted SisterZ are well oiled machines!!! We are two of the best tag teams on the entire roster!!! What do any of them bring to the table?
[ Holidead takes the mic. ]
Holidead – Let me tell you something. We revel in the idea that we get to team up for one night.

We revel in the idea that we will prove to you that we are the dominant species on the women’s roster!!!
[ Delta takes the mic and looks dead eyed into the camera. ]
Delta – Havok, I don’t care about anyone else in this match. There’s only one person I want and that’s you. There’s only one thing that I want to do, is break your leg so that you’ll never wrestle in the Empire again!!! Do yourself a favor girl, don’t walk into my ring because you won’t ever walk out!!!
[ Delta hands the mic to Loca. ]
Loca – Let me spell it out for you kids. When the four of you walk into that pay per view next Sunday night, you’ll be walking right into a buzz saw!!! We will not show any mercy on you and we will not...
[ Just then... Su Yim, Havok, Bloody Mary and Maria Manic explode onto the set and all hell breaks loose as a massive brawl erupts. Gail Kim rushes onto the scene with a dozen security guards trying to break them apart. The show cuts back to Mike and Pezzer at the announcers table. ]
Mike Godwinn – If there is one match that might steal the show at the pay per view it just might be this match Pezzer. These eight women have been fired up for weeks now and it’s boiled over.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – I say let them go and see who walks away on top when the dust settles.
Mike Godwinn – Folks, it’s time for tonight’s main event as Chandler Hopkins takes on the former World Heavyweight Champion Prophet. If Hopkins wins, he will earn his freedom from the Prophecy. If he loses, he becomes Prophets indentured servant!!! Let’s go back to the ring one last time!!!

Prophet vs Chandler Hopkins
“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 weighing in at 227 lbs., he is “The Chosen One”!!! “The Modern-Day Messiah”!!! This... is… Prophet!!!

Mike Godwinn – Here comes the former World Champion as he enters this match with a very good eleven and six record and he has one of the best win totals amongst all the men on the roster. The only men ahead of him are Tito Escobar and the man ahead of him tonight in Chandler Hopkins.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – If you think about his wins, most of them came early on this year when he was taking on pretty much everyone to get within striking distance of the World title. Since then, he’s not been that great in my opinion. He needs to get that hunger back that he had before beating Stone for the World title months ago.
“Party in the Back” JoJo Rodriguez – And his opponent. Making his way to the ring weighing in at 185 lbs.; he is “The Outlaw” Chandler Hopkins!!!
[ The Texas Cowboy struts out on stage as “The Rodeo Theme” by Chandler Hopkins and Magnificent Malico rocks the arena. The crowd gives him a mixed reaction as he walks down to the ring and climbs in. ]
Mike Godwinn – And here comes the challenger. As we said, Hopkins comes into this match with a record high thirteen wins and nine losses. Tonight, will mark his twenty-third match here in the Empire and that’s tops for any man or woman on either roster. This kid, like him or hate him; has been a work horse.
“The Living Legend” Pezzer – Hopkins has been all over the board these past few months. He started off as a fan favorite and then hit a speed bump which made him think that he needed to turn to the dark side. But that didn’t work out either and now he wants to change his way of thinking again and try something different. If he gets through this match tonight, he’s going to have to figure his shit out and decide what way he wants to go and stick with it.
